No L 17/22 Official Journal of the European Communities 23. 1. 91 COMMISSION DECISION of 18 January 1991 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain cotton terry-towelling articles (bathrobes, toilet and kitchen linen) originating in Turkey (91/33/EEC) THE COMMISSION 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 9 thereof, After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation, Whereas : () In December 1989 the Commission received a complaint against Turkish exporters lodged by Eurocoton, the Committee of the Cotton and Allied Textile Industries of the EEC on behalf of terry-towelling producers whose collective output was alleged to constitute substantially all the Community production of the products in ques- tion. The complaint contained evidence of dumping and material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initia- tion of a proceeding. The Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (%) the initi- ation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of knitted or crocheted terry-towelling bathrobes of cotton falling within CN codes ex 6107 9100 and ex 6108 91 00, woven terry-towelling bathrobes of cotton falling within CN codes ex 6207 91 00 and ex 6208 91 00 and cotton toilet and kitchen linen of terry-towelling or similar terry fabrics falling within CN code 6302 60 00. (2 The Commission officially notified the exporters and importers known to be concerned, the repre- sentatives of the exporting country and the Community producers, and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing. (3 The Commission commenced the investigation including transmission of questionnaires to the parties involved seeking the information necessary for the assessment of dumping and injury. A high proportion of the Community producers failed to reply to the questionnaires despite the fact that the original deadline for reply was extended by the . Commission. (4)  In calculating the proportion of the Community industry which replied to the questionnaires, the Commission found that their combined production did not constitute a major proportion of the total Community production as set out in the complaint. (5 In view of the circumstances set out above, the Commission does not have the information avai- lable to it to establish whether injury is being suffered by the producers accounting for a major proportion of the total Community production of the products concerned, as required by Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. It therefore considers that the proceeding should be terminated forthwith, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Sole Article The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain cotton terry-towelling articles (bathrobes, toilet and kitchen linen) originating in Turkey is hereby termi- nated. Done at Brussels, 18 January 1991. For the Commission Frans ANDRIESSEN Vice-President o L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1. o C 32, 10. 2. 1990, p. 8. & zz
