Free Trade Association are currently subject upon importation into the 
Community to anti-dumping measures adopted in accordance with Council

measures, countervailing duties and measures against illicit commercial 
practices attributable to third countries shall not be applied in 
relations between the Contracting Parties unless otherwise specified in 
the Agreement, 
Whereas Protocol 13 of the EEA Agreement provides that the application of 
Article 26 is limited to the areas covered by the provisions of the 
Agreement and in which the Community acquis is fully integrated into the

Trade Association which are currently subject to the above-mentioned 
anti-dumping measures belong to sectors which are covered by the 
provisions of the EEA Agreement,

integrated into the EEA Agreement; whereas the countries concerned have 
undertaken, in the framework of the EEA Agreement, to apply this acquis
