PREVIOUS PROCEDURE (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 1048/90 (?), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of small-screen colour television receivers, i.e. those with a diagonal screen size of more than 15,5 cm but no greater than 42 cm, originating in the Republic of Korea (hereinafter referred to as Korea), hereinafter referred to as SCTVs. (2 By Regulation (EEC) No 2093/91 (°), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of SCTVs originating inter alia in the People’s Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the PRC). (3 By Regulation (EC) No 710/95 (%), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of colour television receivers with a diagonal screen measurement exceeding 15,5 cm (hereafter referred to as CTVs) and originating in Malaysia, the PRC, (") OJ L 56, 6. 3. 1996, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98 (O] L 128, 30. 4. 1998, p. 18). (3 OJ L 107, 27. 4. 1990, p. 56. Regulation as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2900/91, (O] L 275, 2. 10. 1991, p. 24). @) OJ L 195, 18. 7. 1991, p. 1. (y OJ L 73, 1. 4. 1995, p. 3. Korea, Singapore and Thailand. Although this proceeding established that there were no longer grounds for differentiating between colour televi- sion receivers according to their screen size and was therefore initiated in respect of all CTVs, including SCTVs, since anti-dumping measures were already in force in respect of SCTVs origin- ating in Korea and the PRC, the scope of the investigation and the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 710/95 as regards the PRC and Korea were limited to colour televisions with a diagonal screen measurement exceeding 42 cm, i.e. large-screen CTVs. B. REVIEW INVESTIGATIONS “) Following the publication, in October 1994, of a notice of the impending expiry, of the anti- dumping duty in force with regard to SCTVs originating in Korea (°), in December 1994 the Commission received a request for a review lodged by the Association of European Consumer Electro- nics Manufacturers (EACEM) on behalf of Community producers representing a major proportion of the total production of the product concerned in the Community. The request contained evidence of increased dumping, based on a comparison of the prices of the product concerned sold in Korea and the Korean export prices to the Community. Moreover, EACEM submitted that if the measures were allowed to lapse, dumping would continue and increase even further. As regards injury, the request presented evidence of substantial price undercutting by Korean exports and insufficient profitability of the Community industry. () OJ C 303, 29. 10. 1994, p. 3.
