Provisional measures (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 1808/92 (3, the Commis- sion imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of ferrosilicon originating in Poland and Egypt. The provisional anti-dumping duty was extended for a maximum of two months by Regu- lation (EEC) No 2778/92 (3). B. Subsequent procedure (2)  Following the imposition of the provisional anti- dumping duty, the Polish exporter concerned made its views on the conclusions of the investigation known in writing. (3) At its request, the exporter was informed of the principal facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission proposed to recommend the imposition of a definitive duty and the defini- tive collection of amounts secured by way of the provisional duty. The Poles’ written comments were () OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1. () OJ No L 183, 3. 7. 1992, p. 8. () OJ No L 281, 25. 9. 1992, p. 1. 4) 3 (6) @ taken into account and the Commission’s conclu- sions amended accordingly as appropriate. C. Dumping In Regulation (EEC) No 1808/92 the Commission calculated the dumping margin for each exporter as equal to the difference between the normal value and the price of exports to the Community, duly adjusted. On the basis of the free-at-Community-frontier price, the average weighted margin for the ex- porters concerned was established as follows : — Poland’s producers/exporters : 43,9 %, — the Egyptian producer/exporter Efaco, Egyptian Ferroalloys Co : 61,5 %. As no further information has been forthcoming since the imposition of the provisional duty, the conclusions of Regulation (EEC) No 1808/92 in respect of dumping are confirmed by the Council. D. Injury No further information concerning the injury es- tablished over the period of the investigation or regarding the causal link between injury and dumping has been submitted since the imposition of the provisional duty. The conclusions of Regulation (EEC) No 1808/92 in respect of injury are therefore confirmed. E. Community interest No Community users of ferrosilicon imported from Poland or Egypt have made their views known within the period specified in Article 2 of Regula- tion (EEC) No 1808/92. As regards the need to impose anti-dumping measures, a Polish exporter has highlighted the changes engendered by Poland’s transition to a market economy. The exporter concerned stresses the general increase in Polish production costs
