Maeasures in force (1)  The Council, following an anti-dumping investigation (‘the original investigation’), imposed, by means of Regulation (EC) No 91/2009 (3), as last amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 9242012 (}), a definitive anti-dumping duty (the original measures’) on imports of certain iron or steel fasteners (ISF) originating in the People’s Republic of China (the PRC). (2)  The measures, after amendment by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 9242012, took the form of an ad valorem duty established for individual sampled Chinese exporting producers at the level of 0,0 % to 69,7 %. At the same time the antidumping duty for the cooperating, non-sampled Chinese exporting producers was set at a level of 54,1 % while residual duty for non-cooperating Chinese exporting producers amounted to 74,1 % (‘the duties in force’). (3) By Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 723/2011 (%), as last amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 693/2012 (), the original measures were extended to imports of ISF consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not. 2. Request for an expiry review (4)  Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry (°) of the definitive anti-dumping measures in force, the Commission received on 1 October 2013 a request for the initiation of an expiry review of those measures pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by the European Industrial Fasteners Institute (‘the applicant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of ISF. (5)  The request 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 Union industry. 3. Initiation of an expiry review (6)  Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission announced, on 30 January 2014, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union () (‘the notice of initiation’), the initiation of an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
