Provisional action 1. The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2823/85(?), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No | 3475/85 (%), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain clogs originating in Sweden. B. Subsequent procedure 2. Pollowing the imposition of the provisional anti- dumping duty, the two Swedish exporters who had cooperated in the investigation and on the import of whose products this duty was imposed, made repre- sentations to the Commission making their views known on the duty. They also requested to be informed of the facts and essential considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to recommend definitive action, and these requests were granted. In addition, certain other exporters who had not previously made themselves known to the Commission made representations to the Commis- sion making their views known on the duty, and representatives of the Swedish authorities acting on - behalf of the Swedish clog industry as a whole made () f0J No L 201, 30. 7. 1984, p. 1.

For the one exporter concerned who did not sell on the domestic market, normal value was determined on the basis of the weighted average selling prices on the domestic market of the other producers investi- gated. D. Export price . Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the products sold for export to the Community. E. Comparison .

In particular, differences in size and in quality of boot sole and upper were taken into account as were diffe- rences in payment terms. All comparisons were made at ex-works level. F.
