PREVIOUS PROCEDURE (1)~ On 31 August 1996, by means of two separate notices published in the Official Journal of the European Commu- nities, the Commission announced the initiation of an anti-dumping  proceeding () and an anti-subsidy proceeding (°) in respect of imports of farmed Atlantic salmon (the product concerned) originating in Norway. (2)  These proceedings resulted in anti-dumping and counter- vailing duties being imposed in September 1997 by Council Regulations (EC) No 1890/97 (°) and (EC) No 1891/97 () in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping and subsidisation. 1 () OJL 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.

(3)  In parallel to this, by Decision 97/634[EC (), as last amended by Decision 2002/157/EC (), the Commission accepted undertakings from 190 Norwegian exporters and imports of the product concerned to the Community by these companies were exempted from the said anti- dumping and countervailing duties. (4)  The form of the duties was later reviewed and Regula- tions (EC) No 1890/97 and (EC) No 1891/97 were replaced by Regulation (EC) No 772/1999 (*), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 322/2002 (*'). (5)  Following indications that the existing measures may not be achieving their intended results, an interim review of the measures (*?) was initiated in February 2002 pursuant to Article 11(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (the basic Anti-Dumping Regulation) and Article 19(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 (the basic Anti- Subsidy Regulation). (6) Having reason to suspect that certain companies were not observing the terms of their undertakings, by Regula- tion (EC) No 452/2002 (") (the Registration Regulation) and pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Anti-Dumping Regulation and Article 16(4) of the basic Anti-Subsidy Regulation, the Commission made imports by Norwe- gian companies with undertakings subject to registration. The duration of the Registration Regulation was extended for a further period by Regulation (EC) No 1008/2002 (). Consequently, in the event of a finding L 267,30.9.1997, p. 81.
