Applications submitted for the 2006/2007 quota year cover quantities greater than those available. As a result, allocation coefficients should be set for the quantities applied for,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

The quantities covered by export licence applications for the products referred to in Article 20a(3) of Regulation (EC) No 174/1999 submitted for the period 1 July 2006 to 30 June 2007 shall be multiplied by the following allocation coefficients:

(60)

Several cooperating exporters not selected in the sample claimed that it was discriminatory not to receive the lowest duty instead of the weighted average duty of the sampled companies. It is noted that in this case, eight exporters were selected in the sample in accordance with the provisions of Article 17 of the basic Regulation. The findings made as based on data supplied by these exporters are deemed to be representative for the bedlinen industry in Pakistan. In relation to the duty to be applied to the non-sampled exporters, it would be contrary to the purpose of sampling to apply the lowest duty established for one of the sampled exporters rather than the weighted average duty which is clearly more representative of the industry as a whole. In any event, Article 9(6) of the basic Regulation requires that the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports from exporters who have made themselves known, but are not included in the sample, shall not exceed the weighted average margin of dumping established for the parties in the sample and it is the consistent practice of the Community institutions to apply the weighted average margin. In light of the above, this claim was rejected.
