In the course of this examina- tion, it was established that definitive anti-dumping and countervailing measures should be taken in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping and subsidization. The findings and conclusions on all aspects of the investigations are set out in Council Regulation (EC) No 1890/79 (f) and (EC) No 1891/97 ().
