PROCEDURE 1. In January 1985 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the ‘Liaison Committee of the Cement Industries in the European Economic Community’ acting on behalf of the national organi- zations of cement manufacturers in the Community and representing substantially all Community production of cement. The complaint contained prima facie evidence of dumping and at least of threat of injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify initiating a proceeding in order to establish whether () OJ No L 201, 30. 7. 1984, p. 1. the facts alleged existed and justified any action being taken. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities (%), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of Portland cement, falling within Common Customs Tariff heading No ex 25.23, originating in the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Spain and Yugoslavia, and commenced an investigation. 2.
