PROCEDURE (1)  In November 1984, the Commission received a complaint concerning imports of certain tube and pipe fittings originating in Brazil, Taiwan and Yugoslavia which was lodged by the European Malleable Tube Fittings Development Association (EMAFIDA) on behalf of producers representing substantially all Community production of the product in question. In March 1985 the Italian producer who is the largest producer in the Community and whose production accounts for a major proportion of the Community’s production lodged a complaint concerning imports of the product in question originating in Japan. Both complaints contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (%), the initi- ation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of certain tube and pipe fittings of malleable cast iron falling within Common Customs Tariff heading ex 73.20, corres- ponding to NIMEXE code 73.20-30 originating in Brazil, Taiwan, Yugoslavia and Japan.
