No L 94/32 Official Journal of the European Communities 13. 4. 94 (Acts whose publication is not obligatory) COMMISSION COMMISSION DECISION of 9 March 1994 accepting undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of silicon carbide originating in the People’s Republic of China, Norway, Poland and the former USSR and terminating the proceeding against imports originating in Norway and several republics previously part of the former USSR (94/202/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsi- dized imports from countries not members of the Euro- pean Economic Community (), and in particular Article 9 and 10 thereof, After consultations within the Advisory Committee, Whereas : M @ The Commission announced by a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communities(?) the initiation of a review of measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of silicon carbide originating in the People’s Republic of China, Norway, Poland and the former USSR. For the findings of this review investigation, the Commission refers to Council Regulation (EC) No 821/94 (). After all exporters concerned were notified of the results of the investigation, the Russian Govern- ment, in conjunction with the State-trading organi- zation, V/O Stankoimport, offered undertakings in () OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1. () OJ No C 279, 26. 10. 1991, p. 11. (*) See page 21 of this Official Journal. ) ® aacordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 (hereinafter referred to as ‘the basic Regu- lation’). The effect of these undertakings would be to reduce the volume of Russian silicon carbide exported to the Community, to a non-injurious level. Furthermore, the Commission is of the opinion that sufficient guarantees have been given that the Russian Government, in conjunction with V/O Stankoimport, would be able to monitor exports of Russian silicon carbide to the Commu- nity. In view of this, the Commission considers that the undertakings offered are acceptable and that the investigation concerning V/O Stankoimport may be terminated without the imposition of an anti-dumping duty. The investigation concerning imports of silicon carbide originating in Norway has revealed that the expiry of the measures in place against Norwegian producers would not lead to injury or threat of injury and that, in addition, Norwegian producers have not been found selling this product at dumped prices on the Community market. In these circumstances, it is considered that protec- tive measures against imports of silicon carbide originating in Norway are unnecessary and that the proceeding against imports from Norway should therefore be terminated in accordance with Article 9 (1) of the basic Regulation.
