Imports of farmed salmon from Norway in the year ending 30 September 2004 represent around 60 % of the Community market and around 75 % of overall imports into the Community. In Regulation (EC) No 206/2005, the Commission had found that the considerable increase in imports had a devastating effect on the profitability of the Community producers, given the accompanying price drop. The provisional anti-dumping measures in relation to imports of farmed salmon originating in Norway would eliminate the unfair price element in these imports. It can also be expected that they will slow down the quantitative import increase originating in Norway, the largest source of imports into the Community. Therefore, in the particular circumstances of this case, it is considered that anti-dumping measures are sufficient to address the injury which the community industry is suffering, and it is no longer necessary to maintain the safeguard measures, which should therefore be repealed at the same time as the anti-dumping measures enter into force,
