(4) The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 485/83 (%), amended the abovementioned Regulation in so far as it concerned a fifth American exporter who offered an acceptable price undertaking and was therefore exempted from the duties. (5) The Commission has since received a request from an Italian importer to review the duty in so far as it applies to a special type of modacrylic fibre produced by Eastman Kodak Company, Kingsport, Tennessee, USA and exported by Leigh Fibers Inc., Boston, Massachusetts, USA.
