L 127/60 Official Journal of the European Union 23.5.2003 COMMISSION DECISION of 22 May 2003 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of recordable compact disks originating in India (2003/371/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 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 ('), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1972/2002 (3, and in parti- cular Article 9 thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROCEDURE On 17 May 2002, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (*), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding with regard to imports into the Community of recordable compact disks (CD-Rs) originating in India. The proceeding was initiated as a result of a complaint lodged in April 2002 by the Committee of CD-R manu- facturers (CECMA), acting on behalf of producers repre- senting a major proportion of the total Community production of CD-Rs. 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 an anti-dumping proceeding. There are definitive anti-dumping measures currently in force on imports of CD-Rs originating in Taiwan (Council Regulation (EC) No 1050/2002 (*). A parallel anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports into the Community of the same product originating in India was initiated by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (°) on the same date of the initiation of the anti-dumping proceeding referred to in recital 1. The Commission officially advised the applicant and the other known Community producers, the exporting producer, importers, users and suppliers known to be concerned as well as the representatives of India of the initiation of the proceeding. The parties directly concerned were given an opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation. L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.

() The exporting producer in India, as well as the applicant and other Community producers, importers, consumers association and suppliers, made their views known in writing. All parties who so requested within the above time limit and indicated that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing. Certain parties contended that the applicant Community producers did not fulfil the requirements of Article 5(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (basic Regulation) and that the initiation of the investigation was not warranted. In this respect, it should be noted that both statutory pre-initiation thresholds, namely the 25 % and 50 % thresholds of Article 5(4), were met and, therefore, the investigation could be initiated. The Commission sought, by means of questionnaires sent to all known parties, and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of a determination of dumping, injury and Community interest. In this regard, the Commission carried out verification visits at the premises of the following companies: (a) Exporting producer in India: — Moser Baer India Ltd., New Delhi, India; (b) Producers in the Community: — Computer Support Italcard SRL, Milan, Italy, — C.D.A Datentriger Albrechts GmbH, Albrechts, Germany, — CPO Magnetic Products BV, Oosterhout, the Netherlands, — Fuji Magnetics GmbH, Kleve, Germany, — Mitsui Advanced Media SA, Ensisheim, France, — MPO Media SAS, Averton, France, — TDK Recording Media Europe SA, Bascharage, Luxembourg, — Prime Disc Technologies GmbH, Wiesbaden, Germany, — IMAG Optical Storage Ltd, Limerick, Ireland, — Multimedia Info-Tech Ltd, Belfast, Northern Ireland;
