No L 222/8 Official Journal of the European Communities 7.8.92 COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2306/92 of 4 August 1992 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of radio-broadcast receivers of a kind used in motor vehicles, originating in the Republic of Korea THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 july 1988 on protection against dumped or subsi- dized imports from countries not members of the Euro- pean Economic Community ('), and in particular Atrticle 12 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission submitted after consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the abovementioned Regulation, Whereas : A. Provisional measures (1) The Commission, by  Regulation (EEC) No 313/92 (%) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of radio- broadcast receivers of a kind used in motor vehicles (hereinafter referred to as car radios), originating in the Republic of Korea. ‘ The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 1483/92 (3), extended this duty for a period not exceeding two months. B. Subsequent procedure (2)  Following the imposition of the provisional anti- dumping duty, a number of the interested parties made submissions to the Commission making known their views on the findings which were taken into account as considered appropriate. Those who so requested were also granted an opportunity to be heard by the Commission.

Owing to the reasons indicated in recital 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 313/92, the investigation could not be concluded within the time period mentioned in Article 7 (9) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. C. Product under consideration and like product The Commission described in recital 9 of Regu- lation (EEC) No 313/92 in detail the main charac- teristics of the product under consideration. Since no party concerned objected to this product description the Council confirms the Commission’s definition of the product under consideration. In recitals 10 to 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 313/92 the Commission established that, despite the fact that the car radios in question varied in price at end consumer level and in features, they still had the same basic physical and technical characteris- tics which place them within the same category of the product in question. One importer objected to the provisional determination without, however, introducing any new arguments or evidence which could lead the Commission to come a different conclusion. The Council notes that even though car radios combine today a variety of additional features and components, the customs legislation of the Community, in conformity with internationally agreed customs rules, provides that a car radio is classified as such as long as these components and features do not change its essential character as a radio. The Council sees no reason to differ from this for anti-dumping purposes and therefore, confirms the Commission’s view and considera- tions, that all car radios produced in the Commu- nity and in Korea and sold on the Community market were sufficiently alike to constitute a single range of products and a like product within the meaning of Article 2 (12) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. One Korean producer indicated that it had exported during the investigation period 1 May 1989 to 30 April 1990) a significant quantity of parts and sub-assemblies to a subsidiary company
