Nevertheless, on account of this additive, sodium carbonate in this form no longer corresponds to NIMEXE code ex 28.42-31 but to NIMEXE code ex 38.19-99; 3. it is therefore necessary to broaden the scope of Regu- lation (EEC) No 273/83 so that imports corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 38.19-99 are subject to the anti- dumping duty; 4. Community producers and the experts known to be concerned were granted the opportunity of making known their views, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION : Article 1 * Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 273/83 is hereby replaced by .the following: ‘1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on light sodium carbonate imports falling within subheading 28.42 A ex II of the Common Customs Tariff, with or without the addition of sand, falling within subheading 38.19 ex X — correspond- ing to NIMEXE code ex 28.42-31 or ex 38.19-99 — and originating in Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union.’ Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Luxembourg, 24 June 1986. o L 201, 30. 7. 1984, p. 1. o L 32, 3.2 1983, p. 1.
