EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
1. By Regulation (EEC) No. 2535/891 the Commission imposed a

between import figures declared by the Czechoslovak!an exporter and 
those contained in Community statistics, the examination of the facts 
could not be completed within three months after the imposition of 
the provisional duty. 
3. Consequently, the Commission considers that It is necessary to extend 
the period of validity of the provisonal duty for a further period of 
two months. The Czechoslovak Ian exporter concerned was Informed in 
this respect and did not object. 
4. On the basis of Article 11(5) of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2423/88 
the Commission submits to the Council, therefore, a proposal for a 
Council Regulation extending the provisonal ant I-dumping duty on 
imports of potassium permanganate originating In Czechoslovakia, by a 
further period of two months.
