19. 1. 91 Official Journal of the European Communities No L 14/1 (Acts whose publication is obligatory) COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 117/91 of 16 January 1991 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of linear tungsten halogen lamps originating in Japan 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 Article 12 thereof, ' Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, presented after consultations within the Advisory Committee in accordance with that Regulation, Whereas : A. PROVISIONAL MEASURES (1)  Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2064/90 (') ~ imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports originating in Japan of linear tungsten halogen lamps (hereinafter referred to as LTH lamps) for a voltage exceeding 100 volts, of 100 watts or more, double-ended with R7s caps, of a type used for illumination, falling within CN code ex 8539 21 91. Regulation (EEC) No 3307/90 (%) extended this duty for a period not exceeding two months. : B. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE (2)  Following the imposition of the provisional duty, three producer/exporters mentioned in Regulation (EEC) No 2064/90 and the complainant individu- ally requested and were granted hearings before the Commission on the conclusions set out in the above Regulation. They also made known their views in writing. (3)  The parties were also informed, at their request, of the main facts and considerations behind the () OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1.

PRODUCT One producer/exporter claimed that the definition of the products concerned by the proceeding, given in recital {10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2064/90, is inadequate to the extent that it fails to specify that some types of tungsten halogen tubes are not used for illumination and are’ therefore beyond the scope of the proceeding. The proceeding covers linear tungsten halogen lamps for a voltage exceeding 100 volts, of 100 watts or more, double-ended with R7s caps, of a type used for indoor or outdoor illumina- tion. This means that it does not cover linear tung- sten halogen tubes which can be used only as components of specialized appliances, such as photocopiers or photographic lamps, and not for indoor or outdoor lighting. It should, however, be specified that LTH lamps which can be used both for lighting and another more specific purpose are covered by the proceeding. D. DUMPING (a) Normal value I.
