  Please note that the paragraph in bold type face sh ould be added to Article 32 of the original 
document G/ADP/N/1/HRV/2-G/SCM/N/1/HRV/2 as follows:   
 Article 32   When after the initiation of the investigation a nd after the interested parties were given the 
possibility to outline their objections the existence of  the dumped or subsidized imports and the need 
for provisional duties for the prevention of injury that such import could cause during the investigation have been verified, the Minist ry shall propose to the Government of the 
Republic of Croatia to take a decision on prescrib ing of provisional anti-dumping or countervailing 
duties.   
 Provisional anti-dumping or countervailing dut ies cannot be higher than provisionally 
determined dumping margin or subsid y amount, and have to be lower than if in that case sufficient to 
remove injuries for domestic industry.   When the Government of the Republic of Cr oatia shall prescribe provisional anti-dumping or 
countervailing duties, the payment of these duties shall be the condition for releasing the goods in 
question to free circulation in the customs territory of the Republic of Croatia.   Exceptionally, the products may be released to free circulation even before the payment of 
anti-dumping or countervailing duties, when the guara ntee pursuant to customs regulations has been 
deposited. 
  The provisional anti-dumping or countervailing dut ies shall be applied no earlier than 60 days 
from the initiation of the proceedings, and shall apply for a maximum period of four months. 
 
 If the Ministry during the verification pro cedure investigates whether the application of 
provisional anti dumping duties in amount low er than the dumping margin would be necessary G/ADP/N/1/HRV/2/Corr.1

  for eliminating the damage, it can propose to th e Government of the Republic of Croatia the 
application of provisional duties during the period not exceeding six months. 
 
 Upon the request of exporters representing a signi ficant percentage of the trade in question, 
the application of provisional duties may be prol onged for a maximum period of six months or for 
nine months if the Ministry should evaluate duri ng investigation that the application of anti-dumping 
duties in the amount less than the dumping ma rgin is necessary to remove the injury. 
  The decision on prolongation shall be taken by  the Government of the Republic of Croatia 
upon the proposal of the Ministry.  
  All the proposals for termination or prolongation of provisional duties has to be delivered to 
the Government of the Republic of Croatia at latest  a month prior to the expiration of the validity of
