PROCEDURE 1. Measures in force (1) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti- dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (3 on imports of certain polyethylene tereph- thalate originating, inter alia, in the Republic of Korea (South Korea). For the Korean companies with individual duties, the duties in force are zero. The residual duty is 148,3 EUR|tonne. 2. Request for a review (20 A request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation was lodged by the Polyethylene Terephthalate (PET) Committee of Plastic- sEurope (the applicant), representing seven Union producers. () O] L 343, 22.12.2009, p. 51. () OJ L 59, 27.2.2007, p. 1. (3)  The request was limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as the exporting producer KP Chemical Group, composed of Honam Petrochemicals Corp. and KP Chemical Corp. (KP Chemical Group), is concerned, and of certain injury aspects. (4)  The applicant provided prima facie evidence showing that, as far as KP Chemical Group is concerned, the continued imposition of the measure at the current level of zero, is no longer sufficient to counteract the current injurious dumping. 3. Initiation of a partial interim review (5)  Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union () the initiation of a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited to the examination of dumping and of certain injury aspects insofar as the KP Chemical Group is concerned. 4. Product concerned and like product (6)  The product under review is polyethylene terephthalate having a viscosity number of 78 mllg or higher, according to the ISO Standard 1628-5, currently falling within CN code 3907 60 20 and originating in South Korea (the product concerned). (7)  The product concerned and sold on the Korean domestic market and that exported to the Union has the same basic physical, technical and chemical characteristics and uses and is therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
