9. 4. 87 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 95/13 COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1015/87 of 8 April 1987 repealing Council Regulation (EEC) No 2109/85 imposing a definitive anti- dumping duty on imports of certain kinds of polystyrene sheet originating in THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in particular Article 380 (3) thereof, Having regard to Council Regulaton (EEC) No 812/86 of 14 March 1986 on protection against imports which are the subject of dumping between the Community of Ten and the new Member States or between the new Member States during the period throughout which the transitional measures laid down by the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal apply ('), and in particular Article 11 (3) thereof, After consulting the Member States concerned, in accor- dance with Regulation (EEC) No 812/86, Whereas : A. Review (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 2109/85 (3 the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of extruded white, bicoloured and translucent polystyrene sheet, put up in rolls, of a thickness of between 0,7 and 1,3 mm originating in Spain, falling within subheading ex 39.02 C VI b) of the Common Customs Tariff (corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 39.02-38). The amount of the duty is equal to 15,9 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price before duty, except for exports of products of the firm Envases Del Valles, for which the duty is 12,4 %. In 1986 the Commission was requested by two Spanish exporters to review the anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2109/85. The requests were based on Article 380 of the Act of Accession and on Atrticle 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 812/86. According to the applicant firms, the change in circumstances following Spain’s accession and, in particular, the changes in production costs and export prices due to the tax and customs measures () OJ No L 78, 24. 3. 1986, p. 1.

After consulting all the Member States, the - Commission announced the reopening of the proceeding in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities(®) and opened a new investigation. (2 The Commission gave formal notice of these steps to the exporters and importers known to be concerned and to the Community producers which were the complainants in the earlier proceedings which had resulted in the imposition of the anti- dumping duty in question. It afforded the parties directly involved an opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.

(4 The three Spanish exporters, the three French importers and one French producer answered the questionnaire. No comments were received from other intrested parties. No party concerned submitted a request for a hearing in writing within the time limit set. (5)  Despite an extension of the deadline which the Commission granted the five producers at their request to enable each of them to furnish the necessary information on the injury, no reply to the questionnaire has been received from four of them. B. Injury (6)  These four producers, which together account for most of the production of the like product in the Community of Ten, have withheld the necessary information on injury, thereby hindering the inves- tigation to a considerable extent.
