PREVIOUS PROCEDURE (1) By Decision 86/468/EEC (?), the Council accepted price undertakings for imports of certain acrylic fibres originating in, inter alia, Mexico. (2) Early in 1988, the International Rayon and Synthetic Fibres Committee (‘IRSFC’) acting on behalf of producers accounting for virtually the entire Community output of the acrylic fibres concerned, asked the Commission to review the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports from Mexico and to reopen the investigation. (3)  The Advisory Committee having been consulted, it was considered that the request contained sufficient evidence of changed circumstances to warrant a (") OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1.

(® OJ No L 272, 24. 9. 1986, p. 29. review, pursuant to Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 (hereafter referred to as ‘the basic Regulation’). (49  The Commission therefore published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communi- ties(’) announcing a review of the measures and reopening of the investigation. (5)  As a result of this review, the Council, by Regula- tion (EEC) No 3121/89 (), modified the measures applicable to imports of certain acrylic fibres origi- nating in Mexico by imposing residual duties and accepting new or revised undertakings from five companies. (6)  Subsequently, the Commission received a request for a review of the measures from three of the Mexican companies which had given undertakings in 1989. These companies requested to be released from their price undertakings and have Regulation (EEC) No 3121/89 repealed on the grounds that the prices of imports originating in Mexico were “higher than those of the Community producers, that Mexican export prices were significantly higher than those of other third countries selling to the Community and that the Mexican products concerned held a @e minimis’ share of the overall Community market. Following consultations with the Advisory Committee, it was considered that the request contained sufficient evidence to justify initiating a review pursuant to Article 14 of the basic Regulation on the grounds of changed circumstances. 7 Accordingly, the Commission published a notice in the Official Journal of the European Communi- ties(®) and commenced an investigation.
