PROCEDURE (1) In February 1994, the Commission announced by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(®) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of bicycles originating in Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand, and commenced an investigation. () The proceeding was initiated as a result of a complaint lodged by the European Bicycle Manu- facturers Association (EBMA) on behalf of produ- cers allegedly representing a major proportion of the total production of bicycles in the European Community. The complaint contained evidence of dumping of the said product and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. (3)  The present proceeding follows an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of bicycles origina- ting in Taiwan and the People’s Republic of China, which resulted in an anti-dumping duty of 30,6 % being imposed on imports of bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China by Council () OJ No L 349, 31. 12. 1994, p. 1.

The dumping margin for imports of bicycles originating in Taiwan was considered negligible.

Parties directly concerned were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
