PREVIOUS PROCEDURE (), On 5 May 2000, the Commission initiated an anti- dumping proceeding (3 on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in Turkey. (2)  This proceeding ultimately resulted in a definitive anti- dumping duty being imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 (}) in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping. B. REQUEST FOR AN INTERIM REVIEW (3) A request for a partial interim review of Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 was received from Has Celik ve Halat Sanayi Ticaret A.S. (Has Celik, or ‘the applicant), a Turkish exporting producer of certain iron or steel ropes and cables subject to the anti-dumping measures in force. (*) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 461/2004 (OJ L 77, 13.3.2004, p. 12). () O] C 127, 5.5.2000, p. 12. () OJ L 211, 4.8.2001, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EQ) No 1268/2003 (O] L 180, 18.7.2003, p. 23). (40 In this request pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation it was claimed that the circumstances with regard to dumping on the basis of which the measures in force were established have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature. (5)  According to the request, the applicant has undergone structural changes which have had a significant impact on the normal value. Furthermore, it was claimed that a comparison of normal value based on its costs or domestic prices and export prices to the Community would lead to a reduction of dumping significantly below the level of the current measures applying to imports from the applicant, i.e. 17,8%. Therefore, the continued imposition of measures at the existing levels, which were based on the level of dumping previously established, would no longer be necessary to offset dumping. (6)  Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission published a notice (Notice of Initiation’) () and commenced an investigation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping by the applicant. C. PROCEDURE (7)  The Commission officially advised the representatives of the exporting country and the applicant of the initiation of the partial interim review and gave all the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. A submission was received from EWRIS, the Liaison Committee of E.U. Wire Rope Industries which was the complainant in the original case. (8)  The Commission also sent a questionnaire to the applicant, which replied within the time limits set in the Notice of Initiation. () O] C 67, 17.3.2004, p. 5.
