This provisional duty was imposed in accordance with Article 10 (6) of the Basic Regulation, as the Commission has reason to believe that the under- takings of the abovementioned exporters had been violated, and that Community interests called for such intervention. The rate of duty was 30,8 % of the net free-at-Community frontier price of the product before customs duty, and was based on the facts established before the acceptance of the undertaking. B. Subsequent procedure Following the imposition of the provisional anti- dumping duty, the European Chemical Industry Council (Cefic), on behalf of the Community industry of artificial corundum, and the Machine Tool and Tool Branch Chamber of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce (CCC), on behalf of the exporters concerned, made their views known in writing and, at their request, were granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission. Both parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of a defini- tive anti-dumping duty and the definitive collec- tion of the amounts secured by way of the pro- visional duty, and were granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure. The views of both parties were considered, which resulted in the position adopted below.
