19. §5. 87 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 129/5 COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1361/87 of 18 May 1987 imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro-silico-calcium/ calcium silicide originating in Brazil THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsi- dized imports from countries not members of the Euro- pean Economic Community ('), and in particular Article 11 thereof, After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation, Whereas : A. Procedure On 30 September 1986 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the Comité de Liaison des Producteurs de Ferro-Alliages de la Communauté Economique Européenne on behalf of French, German, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese producers of ferro-silico-calcium/calcium silicide whose collective output constitutes practically all Commu- nity production of the product in question. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The  Commission  accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (%), the initi- ation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of ferro-silico- calcium/calcium silicide falling within Common Customs Tariff subheadings 73.02 G and 28.57 D, corresponding to NIMEXE codes ex 73.02-98 (now : ex 73.02-99) and ex 28.57-40, originating in Brazil, and commenced an investigation. The proceeding covers ferro-silico-calcium/calcium silicide containing between 28 % and 35 % calcium and up to 8 % iron, either in lumpy or powder form. The Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the repre- sentatives of the exporting country and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to .request a hearing. The majority of the known producers, two expor- ters and two importers made their views known in writing. Some of these companies requested and () OJ No L 201, 30. 7. 1984, p. 1. () O] No C 244, 30. 9. 1986, p. 13. 4) ) were granted hearings. A Portuguese producer, Companhia Portuguesa de Fornos Electricos Sarl, suspended production after the initiation of the proceeding and therefore did not cooperate in the investigation. Consequently, this producer has been eliminated from the scope of the investigation. No submissions were made on behalf of Commu- nity purchasers of ferro-silico-calcium/calcium sili- cide. The Commission sought and verified all informa- tion it deemed to be necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investi- gations at the premises of the following : EEC producers : — Pechiney Electrométallurgie, Paris, France, — SKW Trostberg Aktiengesellschaft, Trostberg, Germany ; Brazilian producers/exporters : — Bozel Mineragdo e Ferroligas SA, Sio Paulo, — Electrometalur SA Induastria e Comércio, Belo Horizonte ; EEC importer: Hofflinghouse & Co (UK) Ltd, London, United Kingdom. The Commission requested and received detailed written submissions from the complainant Community producers, the exporters and one importer and verified the information therein to the extent considered necessary. The investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 January to 30 September 1986. B. Normal value Normal value was provisionally determined on the basis of the domestic prices of those producers who exported to the Community and who provided sufficient evidence. Since, on the Brazilian market, sales prices are set according to specific granular sizes, different normal values were established on the basis of the prices for these sizes. C. Export price Export prices were determined on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product sold for export to the Community.
