EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Adefinitive anti-dumping duty onchains forcycles andmotorcycles
originating inTaiwan wasimposed byRegulation (EEC)No316/77on
27February 1977 .This duty corresponds tothedifference between the
declared value ofthese products and1.39 European units ofaccount
converted into national currencies inaccordance with the rates
established inRegulation (EEC )No2571 /77published on27November
1977 .However ,the rates ofconversion oftheEuropean unit ofaccount
into thenational currencies have atendency tochange because ofmonetary
fluctuations .This threatens tocause distortions between the normal
value oftheproducts concerned ,calculated inUnited States dollars and
theanti-dumping duties actually collected .Itistherefore appropriate
toexpress thenormal value inUnited States dollars .
Inthese circumstances ,theCommission makes theattached proposal for
aCouncil Regulation amending Regulation (EEC)No316/77concerning the
application ofananti-dumping duty onchains forcycles andmotorcycles
originating inTaiwan .
