29.5.98 Official Journal of the European Communities L 155/55 COMMISSION COMMISSION DECISION of 27 May 1998 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of pure silk type- writer ribbon fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China (98/349/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 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 ('), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98 (3, and in particular Article 23 thereof, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or sub- sidized imports from countries not members of the Euro- pean Economic Community (%), and in particular Articles 14 and 15 thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES IN FORCE (1)  In July 1990, a provisional anti-dumping duty of 24,6 % was imposed on pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China, by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1937/ 90 (). By the same Regulation, the Commission accepted a price undertaking from the China National Silk Import and Export Corporation — Zhejiang Branch (the only known exporter in the People’s Republic of China, hereinafter referred to as ‘the exporter’). This exporter was thus exempted from the definitive anti-dumping duty which was () OJ L 56, 6. 3. 1996, p. 1. () OJ L 128, 30. 4. 1998, p. 18. () OJ L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1.

REQUEST FOR REVIEW In August 1991, the exporter lodged a request for a review of the wundertaking, alleging changed circumstances since the entry into force of the measures. The main grounds were as follows: (a) There was no longer significant Community production of pure silk typewriter ribbon fabrics, since the only Community producer had switched to producing mixed fabrics of polyester/silk. (b) The Community producer had not increased its selling prices since the entry into force of the undertaking, and was aiming to secure a monopoly of the Community market. (c) Since the exporter had not exported any pure silk  typewriter ribbon fabrics to the Community since 1989, it could no longer be causing injury to the Community industry. The Commission was satisfied that there was suf- ficient evidence of changed circumstances to justify the initiation of a review of the measures in force. C. REVIEW INVESTIGATION In January 1992, the Commission published a notice of initiation (°) of a review of Regulation (EEC) No 1937/90 accepting an undertaking with regard to imports of pure silk typewriter ribbon 306, 6. 11. 1990, p. 21. oJ L 0] C 12, 18. 1. 1992, p. 5.
