No L 97/30 Official Journal of the European Communities 4. 4. 85 COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 909/85 of 2 April 1985 imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain kinds of polystyrene sheet originating in Spain THE COMMISSION 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 ('), and in particular Article 11 thereof, After consultations within the Advisory Committee set up by the said Regulation Whereas : A. Procedure (1) In April 1984 the Commission received a complaint lodged by five Community producers, namely : —_— Ono SA, — Monoplast SA, — Injelec SA, (2) 3) — Siam Cedap SA, — Cobelplast SA, which together account for the bulk of Commu- nity production of extruded polystyrene sheet. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom to Community industry. This evidence was consi- dered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding and the Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(?), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concer- ning imports into the Community of certain kinds of polystyrene sheet originating in Spain and commenced an investigation. The product concerned is extruded polystyrene sheet, put up in rolls, falling within subheading ex 39.02 C VI b) of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 39.02-38. The Commission officially advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, and also () OJ No L 201, 30. 7. 1984, p. 1. (3) OJ No C 205, 4. 8. 1984, p. 10. (4) the representatives of the exporting country and the complainants, that the proceeding had been initiated, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in - writing and to request a hearing. The two Spanish exporters known to be “concerned, namely the firms Coexpan SA and Envases Del Valles SA, and most of the importers concerned, particularly : | — Gervais-Danone-France, — La Roche aux Fées, — Union Laitieére Pyrénées Aquitaine Charentes, — Gervais-Danone AG, — Dairyland Ltd, — St Ivel Ltd, took the opportunity to make known their views in writing ; in addition, the two main exporters requested and were granted hearings. As the importers of the product concerned are also its consumers, the point of view of the end- users of polystyrene sheet was thus taken into consideration. For the purposes of a preliminary determination of the existence of dumping and injury, the Commission endeavoured to gather and check all the information it deemed necessary and carried out inspections on the premises of the five - complainant producers, the two main Spanish exporters and the following importers : — Gervais-Danone-France, and — Union Laitiére Pyrénées Aquitaine Charentes. The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from the complainant Community producers on the matter of the injury and its causes, and also from the two main Spanish exporters and virtually all the importers and consumers identified ; the information thus obtained was checked by the Commission where necessary. The investigation period adopted by the Commis- sion for the purposes of determining whether dumping had taken place covered the 12 months ending on 31 July 1984. During this period, imports originating in Spain corresponded to exports to the Community by Coexpan SA and Envases Del Valles SA.
