Procedure (1) In March 1983, the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Federation of European Bearing Manufacturers’ Associations (Febma) on behalf of British, French, German and Italian producers of single-row deep-groove radial ball bearings with greatest external diameter of not more than 30 mm whose collective output consti- tutes the majority of Community production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom. (2) For those ball bearings falling within the scope of this complaint which were subject to under- takings accepted in the framework of a previous anti-dumping proceeding by Commission Deci- sion 81/406/EEC (*), the Commission decided, on the basis of this complaint and information gathered during the monitoring of these under- takings, in addition to observations of market developments, that a review was warranted. (3) All these elements taken together were considered sufficient by the Commission to justify the initia- tion of a proceeding. The Commission accord- ingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communi- ties(*), the initiation of an anti-dumping pro- ceeding concerning imports into the Community () OJ No L 339, 31. 12. 1979, p. 1.

Subsequent to the initiation two more Commu- nity producers, non-Febma members, supported the complaint. As a result the proceeding now covers practically all Community production with the exception of the production in the Commu- nity of subsidiaries of two Japanese exporters. The Commission officially so advised the expor- ters and importers known to be concerned and the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing. All known producers, exporters and importers made their views known in writing. One party concerned requested and was granted a hearing. No submissions were made by Community purchasers of the ball bearings concerned.
