(the basic Regulation), and in particular Articles 9 and 12 thereof, Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROCEDURE 1. Original measures (1) In September 2005, following an anti-dumping investi- gation (the original investigation) the Council, by Regu- lation (EC) No 1487/2005 (?), imposed definitive anti- dumping duties (the original measures) on imports of certain finished polyester filament fabrics (FPFAF) origi- nating in the People’s Republic of China (China). The duty rates applicable to Chinese FPFAF varied from 14,1 % to 56,2 %. 2. Request for an anti-absorption reinvestigation (2)  On 13 November 2006, a request for a reinvestigation of the original measures was lodged pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation. The request was submitted by AIUFFASS (the applicant), on behalf of producers repre- senting a major proportion, in this case more than 30 % of the total Community production of FPFAF. (") OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2117/2005 (OJ L 340, 23.12.2005, p. 17). () O] L 240, 16.9.2005, p. 1. (3)  The applicant submitted sufficient information showing that following the imposition of the original anti- dumping duties on FPFAF originating in China export prices have decreased and that there has been insufficient movement in resale prices or subsequent selling prices in the Community. This allegedly resulted in an increase of dumping which has impeded the intended remedial effects of the measures in force. The applicant also provided evidence that imports of the product concerned from China have continued to enter in significant quantities the Community market. 3. The anti-absorption reinvestigation (4 On 28 December 2006, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (NOI) (}) the initiation of a reinvestigation, pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation, of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of FPFAF originating in China. (5)  The Commission officially advised the producers/ex- porters known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, importers and users of the initiation of the reinvestigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation. The Commission sent questionnaires to all parties known to be concerned. (6)  In view of the high number of exporting producers and importers concerned during the original investigation, sampling was envisaged in the NOI in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation. In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling would be necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers and importers were asked to make themselves known to the Commission and to provide basic infor- mation.
