They were also granted a period within which to make representations subsequent to the disclosure. 4 The oral and written comments submitted by the parties were considered and, where appropriate, the Commission’s findings were modified to take account of them. (5 Due to the complexity of the procedure and the other reasons indicated in recital 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 2818/91, the investigation could not be concluded within the time period mentioned in Atticle 7 (9) (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2433/88.
