21.7.2007 Official Journal of the European Union L 190/1 (Acts adopted under the EC Treaty/Euratom Treaty whose publication is obligatory) REGULATIONS COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 856/2007 of 16 July 2007 extending the suspension of the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 on imports of ferro molybdenum originating in the People’s Republic of China THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (!) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 14 thereof, Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROCEDURE (1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro molybdenum originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), falling under CN code 7202 70 00 (the product concerned). The rate of the anti-dumping duty is 22,5 %. (20 The Commission by Decision 2006/714/EC (), suspended for a period of nine months the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 on imports of the product concerned origi- nating in the PRC. (3)  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 L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation ) No 2117/2005 (OJ L 340, 23.12.2005, p. 17). () O L 35, 6.2.2002, p. 1. L 293, 24.10.2006, p. 15. Regulation which provides that, in the Community interest, anti-dumping measures may be suspended on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such suspension, provided that the Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and these comments have been taken into account. (40 The Commission concluded in 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, and in particular the high level of prices of the product concerned practised on the Community market, which was far above the injurious level found in the original investi- gation, together with the alleged demand-supply imbalance of the product concerned. (5)  The Commission undertook in Decision 2006/714/EC the obligation to monitor the development of imports and the prices of the product concerned and to repeal the suspension in case increased volumes at dumped prices of the product concerned from the PRC resume and consequently cause injury to the Community industry. (6)  On 31 October 2006 an ex officio full interim review was initiated by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (*) since the corpus of evidence at the Commission’s disposal indicated that the circumstances on the basis of which the existing measures were estab- lished have changed to an extent that the existing measures may no longer be adequate and that certain of these changes appeared to be of a lasting nature.
