SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping measures, certain interested parties submitted comments in writing. Those parties who so requested were granted an oppor- tunity to be heard by the Commission. The Commission continued to seek and verify all infor- mation it deemed necessary for its definitive findings. Parties were informed of the essential facts and consid- erations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty and the definitive collection of amounts secured by way of the provisional duty. They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to this disclosure. The oral and written comments were considered and, where deemed appropriate, taken into account in the definitive findings. Following the imposition of provisional measures, one importer and its association questioned the representa- tiveness of the Community industry, as set out under recital 113 of the provisional Regulation, within the meaning of Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation. However, no evidence was produced to substantiate this claim. The investigation has confirmed that the Community industry accounted for approximately 54 % of the Community production during the IP and has standing within the meaning of Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
