COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 154/88

of 18 January 1988

amending Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 imposing a definitive duty on imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1) as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,

WHEREAS:

1. The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan and at the same time excluded from this duty certain small-size electronic typewriters because they fell into a different category from those produced in the Community. In addition, by Regulations (EEC) No 3002/85 (4), (EEC) No 2127/86 (5) and (EEC) No 547/87 (6) the Council excluded, for the same reasons, additional models from the scope of the duty.

2. Subsequently the following new models were found not to be comparable with any electronic typewriters produced in the Comunity:

- Brother: EP 150;

- Casio: CW 16 G, CW 17.

3. Consequently, these models should be excluded from the scope of the duty and Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 should be amended accordingly.

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
