PROCEDURE 1.1. Measures in force (1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of television camera systems (TCS) originating in Japan (‘the original investigation’). 20 In September 2000, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2042/2000 (), confirmed the definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1015/94 pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation (‘the previous review investigation’). 1.2. Request for a review (3)  Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry of the anti-dumping measures in force on tele- vision camera systems (TCS) originating in Japan (%), the Commission received, on 28 June 2005, a request to review these measures pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation. (4)  This request was lodged by Grass Valley Nederland BV, a Community producer representing more than 60 % of the total Community production of TCS (the (") OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.

Grass Valley is the resulting company following the acquisition of Philips Digital Video Systems by Thomson Multimedia, owner of Thomson Broadcast Systems. The request for an expiry review was based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Community industry. Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiry review pursuant to Articles 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission initiated this review on 29 September 2005 (). 1.3. Parallel investigation On 18 May 2006, the Commission initiated a new anti- dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain camera systems originating in Japan, and an interim review of the anti-dumping measures on imports of tele- vision camera systems originating in Japan (%). The scope of the new anti-dumping proceeding includes television camera systems covered by the measures in force mentioned in recital (2). Should it be determined that measures are to be imposed on certain camera systems originating in Japan, and thus cover the television camera systems subject to measures by the present Regulation, the continued imposition of measures imposed by the present Regulation will no longer be appropriate, and would have to be amended or repealed accordingly. 1.4. Current Investigation 1.4.1. Procedure The Commission officially advised the exporting producers, users/importers, raw material producers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the Community producers of the initiation of the expiry review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation. C 239, 29.9.2005, p. 9.
