Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 of 17 September 1984 on the strengthening of the common commercial policy with regard in particular to protection against illicit commercial practices (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

After consultation within the Advisory Committee in accordance with the abovementioned Regulation.

Whereas:

(1) On 9 March 1992, the Commission decided to suspend (2) the examination procedure under Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 (3) which it had been conducting since 16 February 1991 into the matter of the Japanese Harbour Management Fund.

(2) This suspension was justified by formal assurances which the Commission had received from the Japanese Government that the Harbour Management Fund would be discontinued after 31 March 1992, that it would not continue in a different guise, and that the views of foreign shipping lines regarding the utilization of the money collected and not yet disbursed would be adequately reflected. The suspension would be reviewed by the Commission once sufficient time had elapsed after the discontinuation of the Harbour Management Fund to give a reasonable guarantee that the scheme would not be re-introduced in a different form.

(3) Since then, the Commission has determind that the Japanese Harbour Management Fund was effectively discontinued on 31 March 1992, that it has not been continued in a different guise and, finally, that the money collected and not yet disbursed has been used for projects of some benefit to Community shipping lines. Given the amount of time that has expired since the suspension of the examination procedure, the Commission considers it to be in the Community interest that the examination procedure now be terminated.

(4) The Commission has informed the complainant and the Japanese Government of its conclusions and the principal underlying facts and,

HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:

Sole Article

The examination procedure concerning illicit commercial practices within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 2641/84 consisting to the imposition in Japan of a port charge or fee for the creation of the Harbour Management Fund is herewith terminated.

COMMISSION DECISION of 12 October 1993 terminating the review of Council Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 concerning imports of polyester yarn originating in Turkey

Whereas:

(1) By Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 (3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty of 13,2 % on imports of textured polyester yarn (PTY) falling within CN codes 5402 33 10 and 5402 33 90, originating, inter alia, in Turkey, with the exception of goods produced and sold for export to the Community by several companies specifically listed as being subject to a lesser rate of duty.

(2) By a notice published on 18 March 1993 in the Official of the European Communities (4), the Commission, after consultation within the Advisory Committee and in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, initiated a review of Regulation (EEC) No 3905/88 as it concerned a Turkish company, Korteks (Bursa - Turkey). This company had submitted that it did not export the product subject to the anti-dumping duty during the previous period of investigation (1 January to 30 June 1987) but that it had the firm intention to start such exports in the near future and had already established contacts with potential customers in the European Communities.
