PROCEDURE 1. Measures in force (1) In January 2002, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 (%), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro molybdenum (FeMo) originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), falling under CN code 7202 70 00 (the product concerned). The investi- gation period that led to these measures was 1 October 1999 to 30 September 2000 and will be referred to as ‘the original investigation’. The measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 consisted of an ad valorem duty of 22,5 %. (") OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.

The decision to suspend the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 was taken in line with the provisions of Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. The Commission concluded, in its Decision 2006/714[EC, that the injury linked to the imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC was unlikely to resume as a result of the suspension because of the temporary change in market conditions, in particular the high level of prices of the product concerned on the Community market, which was far above the injurious level found in the original investi- gation, together with the alleged demand-supply imbalance for the product concerned. In July 2007, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 856/2007 (4, extended until 31 January 2008 the suspension of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 on imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC. The Council concluded, in Regulation (EC) No 8562007, that the situation in the Community market with respect to the product concerned has remained unchanged following the suspension of the anti-dumping duty in October 2006 and decided, pending the outcome of the review (see recitals (6) to (8)), to extent the suspension of the measures in force in accordance with the provisions of Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation.
