L 324/38 Official Journal of the European Communities 27. 11. 97 COMMISSION DECISION of 10 November 1997 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as DRAMS (dynamic random access memories) originating in Japan (97/798/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Com- munity ('), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (3, and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 165/90 (), the Commis- sion accepted undertakings from all known Jap- anese DRAM producers which exported this product to the Community. The Council, by Regu- lation (EEC) No 2112/90 (*), imposed a residual duty on imports of DRAMs originating in Japan in order to bring non-cooperating parties within the scope of the measures against the dumping of DRAMs and to underpin the undertakings. (2)  In June 1995, the Commission decided to suspend the above anti-dumping measures for a period of nine months (°). In March 1996 the suspension was extended by the Council for a further period of 12 months (%). B. REVIEW INVESTIGATION (3) In July 1995, the Commission initiated on its own initiative an interim review of the measures con- cerning imports of DRAMs originating in Japan, (together with a reveiw of the similar measures re- lating to the Republic of Korea), pursuant to Article | () OJ L 56, 6. 3. 1996, p. 1 () O] L 317, 6. 12. 199, p. L. () OJ L 20, 25. 1. 1990, p 5 () OJ L 193, 25. 7. 1990, () Commission Decision 95/197/EC (OJ L 126, 9. 6. 1995, 58 " %oun)cil Regulation (EC) No 399/96 (O] L 55, 6. 3. 1996, p- 2). 11 (3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the ‘basic Regulation’). Since the review with regard to Japan was initiated at the end of the period of application of the measures, the review also covered the circum- stances of an expiry review, in accordance with Article 11 (7) of the basic Regulation (). C. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION (49 The product concerned by this investigation is dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), whether in processed wafer form or dice form, assembled or further processed onto modules, manufactured using variations of Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) process technology, includ- ing CMOS and BiCMOS etc, and including, without limitation, product variations using DRAM technology such as VRAMs, Pseudo SRAMs, S-DRAMs (synchronous DRAMs), MDRAMs (multibank DRAMs), R-DRAMs (RAMBUS- DRAMs), of all densities (including future dens- ities), irrespective of access speed, configuration, frame or package, etc. (5  The product is currently classifiable within the following CN codes: 85421311, 85421313, 85421315, 854213 17, 854219 01, 854219 05 (for finished DRAMs), 854213 01 (for DRAM wafers), 85421305 (for DRAM dice or chips), 8548 90 00, 847330 10 and 8473 50 10 (for DRAM modules, DRAM boards and DRAM cards). D. DEFINITION OF THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY (6)  The Community industry concerned by this review consists of Motorola Ltd (United Kingdom); Siemens (Germany) and Texas Instruments Italia (Italy). All of them cooperated in this investigation and are members of the European Electronic Component Manufacturers’ Association (EECA), which lodged the original complaint.
