COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 3200/90

of 5 November 1990

imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics originating in the People's Republic of China and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on such imports

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 12 thereof,

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

Whereas:

A. Provisional measures

(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1937/90 (1) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics originating in the People's Republic of China accepted an undertaking from an exporter which cooperated in the investigation and terminated the investigation concerning that exporter.

B. Subsequent procedure

(2) Following the imposition of the provisional duty no interested party requested a hearing or made written submissions within the time limit with regard to the findings set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1937/90.

C. Dumping

(3) No new evidence on dumping has been received since the imposition of the provisional duty and the Commission therefore considers its findings on dumping as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1937/90 should be made definitive.

Consequently, the preliminary determinations on dumping are confirmed by the Council.

D. Injury

(4) As no new evidence regarding injury to the Community industry through the effects of dumped imports was received, the Council also confirms the conclusions on injury reached in Regulation (EEC) No 1937/90.

E. Community interest

(5) No observations were received from any interested party within the time limit laid down in Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1937/90 and the Commission had no reason to change its conclusions set out in recital 19 of the said Regulation. On this basis, the Council confirms that it is in the Community's interest that action be taken. In these circumstances, the Community's interest calls for the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics originating in the People's Republic of China.

F. Rate of definitive duty

(6) In the light of the above determination and for the reasons set out in recitals 23 and 24 of Regulation (EEC) No 1937/90, which the Council confirms, the level of the definitive anti-dumping duty should be the same as the level of the provisional anti-dumping duty.

G. Collection of provisional duty

(7) In view of the magnitude of the dumping margins found and the seriousness of the injury caused to the Community industry, it is considered necessary that amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty should be collected in full,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
