This notice followed the receipt of a written complaint lodged by the European Electronic Component Manufacturers’ Association (EECA) representing a major proportion of the total Community production of DRAMs. The complaint contained evidence of dumping of the said product originating in Korea and of material injury resul- ting therefrom. This evidence was considered suffi- cient to justify the initiation of a proceeding. The Commission officially advised the producers in the exporting country and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country and the complainant. Parties directly concerned were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. All three known producers in Korea cooperated in the proceeding. Representatives of these producers, of one exporter to the Community unrelated to the Korean produ- cers, the complainant and 16 importers made their views known in writing. All producers, the exporter and all the related importers requested and were granted hearings. Representations were also made by two groups of Community users of the product concerned. The Commission sought and verified all informa- tion it deemed necessary for the purposes of a preliminary determination and carried out investi- gations at the premises of the following : (a) Community producers — Motorola Ltd, Glasgow, United Kingdom, — Siemens AG, Munich, Germany ; (b) Producers in Korea — Goldstar Electron Co., Ltd, Seoul, — Hyundai Electronics Industries Co., Ltd, Icheon, — Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd, Seoul ; (c) Importers in the Community — Goldstar  Deutschland  GmbH, Germany, Willich, — Hyundai Electronics Europe GmbH, Eschborn, Germany,
