Review application in respect of Romania (5) A request for a review was lodged by S. C. Tepro SA, a Romanian producer, based on changed circumstances with regard to imports at dumped prices from Romania. In its request, the producer alleged that the former centrally planned economic system had been abolished and that important economic reform programmes had been set in motion. It further alleged that the price under- taking accepted from the former State-trading import/export monopoly organization had become discriminatory towards all Romanian producers of the product in question because it upheld the posi- tion of the State-trading organization as exclusive exporter to the Community, while other indepen- dent companies since established were subject to the residual anti-dumping duty. It finally alleged that prices for export to the Community were not lower than domestic prices and that dumping had ceased. These circumstances were deemed sufficient to justify a review with regard to imports of the product concerned originating in Romania. 2.
