() OJ No L 280, 29. 10. 1994, p. 1. @ ) (6) ™ ® submitted comments in writing. Parties who so requested were granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission. Upon request, parties were informed of the essen- tial facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive anti-dumping measures and the defini- tive collection of amounts secured by way of a provisional duty. They were also granted a rea- sonable period within which to make representa- tions subsequent to the disclosure. The parties’ comments were considered, and the Commission altered its conclusions where deemed appropriate. Owing to the complexity of the case, in particular due to the number of producers located in the Community and due to the fact that the Polish producers and exporter, as well as the producers located in the analogous country, were newly operating under market economy conditions, the investigation overran the normal duration of one year provided for in Article 7 (9) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 (hereafter referred to as the ‘basic Regulation’). C. PRODUCT UNDER INVESTIGATION ; LIKE PRODUCT As no comments have been presented by any party regarding the product under consideration and the like product after the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures, the findings set out in recitals 9 and 10 of the provisional duty Regulation are hereby confirmed. D. DUMPING 1. Bulgaria No new issues were raised by the Bulgarian inte- rested parties concerning the determination of dumping. Therefore, the conclusions reached at the provisional stage are hereby confirmed. The dumping margin for Bulgarian imports is therefore definitively determined at a level of 33,3 % expressed as a percentage of the free-at- Community frontier price.
