No L 126/58 Official Journal of the European Communities 9. 6. 95 COMMISSION DECISION of 8 June 1995 suspending the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as DRAMs (dynamic random access memories) originating in Japan and in the Republic of Korea (95/197/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Commu- nity (') and in particular Article 14 (4) thereof, After consultation with the Advisory Committee, Whereas : M The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2697/92 (%), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of certain types of electronic  microcircuits known as DRAMs (dynamic random access memories) originating in Japan, and falling under CN codes — 85421112, 854211 14, 854211 16, 854211 18 for finished DRAMs, — ex 85421101 for DRAM wafers, — ex 85421105 for DRAM-dice or -chips, — and ex 8473 30 10 or ex 8548 00 00 for DRAM modules. By Regulation (EEC) No 611/93 (%), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of the same products origina- ting in Korea. The basic anti-dumping Regulation, ie. Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 at Article 14 (4) provides for the suspension of anti-dumping measures imposed on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such a suspension. Article 14 (4) further specifies that the anti-dumping measures concerned may be reinstated at any time if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable. Since the end of 1993 and the beginning of 1994, due to a strong and growing demand for DRAMs, o L 349, 31. 12. 1994, p. 1. o L 193, 25. 7. 1990, p.

Lead times for deliveries of DRAMs have been considerable throughout this period. With respect to the Community market in parti- cular, the Commission has been able to follow developments as almost all known Japanese and Korean DRAM producers supply the Commission on a regular basis with their detailed sales reports pursuant to undertakings which the Commission has accepted in the framework of both abovemen- tioned anti-dumping proceedings (°). An analysis of these reports has confirmed that the market beha- viour of the exporters concerned is in line with the general evaluation of price developments made by market research companies, some of which monitor the semiconductor market particularly closely. With regard to the situation of the Community DRAM-industry, the Commission has furthermore received information confirming that this industry has also benefited from the current market situa- tion. Indeed, following the stabilization of the situ- ation of the Community industry concurrently with the introduction of the above anti-dumping measures and following the substantial investments made for the production of the newest generations of DRAMs, the Community industry’s revenues stemming from an increase in DRAM sales volumes and in DRAM prices have had the effect that the Community industry is no longer suffering financial losses on current sales, but rather genera- ting increased returns. The anti-dumping duties were imposed in order to underpin the undertakings and in order to ensure that imports of any DRAMs outside the scope of the undertakings would not be made at an injurious price level. The present market situation is one of strong demand, where market forces are sustaining a level of prices for DRAMs which is at or above () By Regulation (EEC) No 165/90 (O No L 20, 25. 1. 1990, p. 5) the Commission accepted undertakings from certain Japa- nese DRAM-producers. The duration of these undertakings was prolonged by the publication of a Notice of Intention to out a review (O] No C 373, 29. 12. 1994, p. 12). By De- cision 93/157/EEC (O] No L 66, 18. 3. 1993, p. 37) the Com- mission accepted undertakings from certain Korean DRAM- producers.
