PROCEDURE By Regulation (EC) No 488/2008 (?), the Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on imports into the Community of citric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).

L 143, 3.6.2008, p. 13. in Council Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008 (*) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of citric acid originating in the PRC. The investigation confirmed the provisional findings of injurious dumping relating to imports of citric acid orig- inating in the PRC. B. UNDERTAKINGS Subsequent to the adoption of provisional anti-dumping measures, Six cooperating exporting producers in the PRC, namely Anhui BBCA Biochemical, RZBC, TTCA, Yixing Union Biochemical, Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry and Weifang Ensign Industry offered price undertakings in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation. In these undertakings, the exporting producers have offered to sell the product concerned at or above price levels which eliminate the injurious effects of dumping. Each exporting producer offered one minimum import price for all different product types in order to limit the risk of circumvention. In addition, the offers provide for the indexation of the minimum prices given that the prices of the product concerned varied significantly, in particular prices increased considerably after the investigation period. The indexation is made in accordance with public inter- national quotations of corn, the main raw material used by the exporting producers. However, the exporting producers offered to fix the minimum prices at least at the level of the non-injurious price even if the indexation would lead to a lower price level.
