28.11.2002 Official Journal of the European Communities L 3231 (Acts whose publication is obligatory) COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2093/2002 of 26 November 2002 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of polyester textured filament yarn (PTY) originating in India THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 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 Community (), and in particular Article 9 thereof, Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROVISIONAL MEASURES (1)  The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1412/2002 (%) (the provisional Regulation) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of polyester textured filament yarn (hereinafter PTY) originating in India. (2)  Simultaneously, the Commission also imposed, by Regulation (EC) No 1411/2002 (*), a provisional countervailing duty on the imports of PTY originating in India. (3) It is recalled that the investigation period of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 October 2000 to 30 September 2001 (IP). A clerical error was found in the provisional Regulation, and it is confirmed that, as showed in the various tables below, the examination of trends relevant for the injury analysis covered the period from 1 January 1996 (and not 1 October 1997 as stated in the provisional Regulation) to the end of the IP (period under consideration). The choice of such period was made in view of analysing the overall evolution of the economic situation of the Community industry considering the impact of the imposition of anti-dumping measures in 1996 against Indo- nesia, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand. B. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE (4)  Following the imposition of a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of PTY originating in India, some interested parties submitted comments in writing. The parties who so requested were also granted an opportunity to be heard orally. (5)  The Commission continued to seek and verify all information it deemed necessary for its definitive findings. (6)  All parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty and the definitive collec- tion of amounts secured by way of the provisional duty. They were also granted a period within which they could make representations subsequent to this disclosure. () O] () OJ L 205, 2.8.2002, p. 50. () OJ L 205, 2.8.2002, p. 26. L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.
