In December 1993, a notice () concerning the intention of reviewing the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of polyester yarn originating in the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Turkey was published. On 16 June 1994, in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities ('), the Commission announced the review of Regula- tion (EEC) No 3905/88 pursuant to Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, the Regulation applicable in this review pursuant to Article 23 of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, and hereinafter referred to as ‘the basic Regulation’. Given the quasi absence of Korean imports on the Com- munity market, it had not been shown in the view of the Commission that the expiry of the measures would have led again to recurrence of injury. It therefore decided to exclude from the review the measures concerning imports originating in the Republic of Korea which consequently lapsed (%). The Commission officially advised the producers, exporters and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting countries and the complainant, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. It also sent questionnaires to all parties known to be concerned. All complainant producers and another producer in the Community replied to the questionnaire and made their views known in writing. Some Turkish and Taiwanese exporters replied to the questionnaire and made their views known in writing. No importer replied to the Commission’s questionnaire. The Commission sought and verified all informa- tion it deemed necessary for the purposes of a determination and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies: () OJ No C 340, 17. 12. 1993, p. 15.
