PROCEDURE By Regulation (EC) No 230/2001 (*), the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables (SWR) originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey and accepted undertakings offered by certain exporting producers in the Czech Republic and Turkey. No provisional measures were imposed on imports from the Republic of Korea (Korea) and Malaysia since the dumping margins found in the case of these two coun- tries were below the 2 % threshold set in Article 9(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (basic Regulation’). Following the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures, the Commission continued the investigation of dumping, injury and Community interest.

() imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey. The investigation confirmed the provisional findings of injurious dumping relating to imports originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey. It was also confirmed that the dumping margins for imports origin- ating in Korea and Malaysia were de minimus. B. UNDERTAKINGS Subsequent to the imposition of provisional anti- dumping measures, the cooperating exporting producers in Russia and in Thailand offered undertakings in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation. According to these undertakings, the exporting produ- cers in question have offered to sell the product concerned at or above price levels which eliminate the injurious effects of dumping. The Commission considers that the undertakings offered by the exporting producers concerned can be accepted since they eliminate the injurious effect of dumping. Moreover, the companies will also provide the Commis- sion with regular and detailed information concerning their exports to the Community, meaning that the undertakings can be monitored effectively by the Commission. Furthermore, the nature of the product, the structure of the companies and their sales patterns are such that the risk of them circumventing the agreed undertakings is limited.
