COM(83)  283 final 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL  REGUL ATION  (EEC) 
imposing  a definitive  anti-dumping duty on imports  of hexamethylenetetramine 
originating in the German  democratic  Republic and the Soviet  Union 
(Submitted  to the  Council by the Commission) 
COM(83)  283 final Brussels, 16 May 1983 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
1. On 12 February 1983, by Kegulation (EEC) No  348/83  (1), the  Commission 
imposed  a provisional  anti-dumping duty on imports of  hexamethylene-
tetramine  originating  in the  German  Democratic Republic and the 
Soviet Union  and terminated the proceeding against imports  from 
Czechoslovakia and  Romania.  This duty expires on 11  June 1983. 
2. After the imposition of the  provisional  duty, one exporter requested 
and was granted a hearing during  which he made his views known. 
3. With regard to  dumping  and injury,  no fresh evidence has  been 
submitted to the  Commission  since the imposition of the  provisional 
duty. In the  Commission's  view, the  facts as finally  determined 
show that the  effects  of the  dumped  imports of  hexamethy  lenetetramine 
originating  in the  German  Democratic Republic and the Soviet  Union 
taken in  isolation,  have to be considered as  constituting  material 
injury. 
4. The exporter  from the German  Democratic Republic offered a  price 
undertaking  which  was not found to be acceptable. 
5. On the basis of these  facts,  the Commission  therefore submits to the 
Council  its proposal for a Council Regulation,imposing a  definitive 
anti-dumping duty on imports of hexamethylenetetramine  from  the 
German Democratic Republic and the Soviet Union. 
It is further  proposed  that the  amounts  secured by way of 
provisional  duty should be  collected  definitively.

Proposal  for 
COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) 
imposing a  definitive  anti-dumping duty on imports of hexamethylenetetramine 
originating  in the  German  Democratic Republic and the  Soviet  Union 
THE COUNCIL  OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty  establishing  the European  Economic  Community, 
Having regard to  Council  Regulation (EEC) No  3017/79  of 20 December  1979 
on protection  against  dumped  or subsidized  imports from  countries  not 
members  of the European  Community  , as amended  by Regulation (EEC) 
No 1580/82  , and in  particular  Article  12 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the  Commission  after consultation 
within the Advisory  Committee  as provided for under the  above Regulation, 
Whereas  the Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No  348/83  , imposed a 
provisional  anti-dumping duty on hexamethylenetetramine  originating  in 
the German  Democratic Republic and the  Soviet  Union;  whereas  by that 
Regulation,  the Commission  also accepted undertakings  offered  by the 
Czechoslovak and  Romanian  exporters and terminated the proceedings in 
respect  of these  exporters; 
Whereas,  following  the imposition  of the  provisional  anti-dumping duty 
the exporter in the  German  Democratic Republic requested, and was granted, 
an opportunity to be heard  orally  by the Commission; 
Whereas  one consumer  made his views  known  in writing; 
Whereas  no new evidence on  dumping  and injury  to the  Community  industry  has 
been received  since the imposition  of the  provisional  duty; whereas  the 
Commission,  therefore,  considers its  findings  on dumping  and injury  as set 
out in Regulation (EEC) No  348/83  to be  definitive;

Whereas aLL the  facts as finally  determined  show that the injury  being 
caused by dumped  imports  of hexamethylenetetramine  originating  in the 
German Democratic Republic  and the  Soviet  Union, taken  in isolation  from 
that caused  by other  factors,  has to be  considered  as material; 
Whereas,  in these circumstances,  protection  of the Community's  interests 
calls for the  imposition  of a definitive  anti-dumping duty  on imports  of 
hexamethylenetetramine  originating  in the German  Democratic Republic  and 
the Soviet  Union,  the amount of  which should  be the same as the amount 
of the provisional  anti-dumping duty; 
Whereas,  when confronted  with the findings  of the  investigation,  the 
exporter  of hexamethylenetetramine  originating  in the German  Democratic 
Republic  offered  a price undertaking regarding  future  exports  to the 
Communi  ty; 
Whereas,  after consultation,  this undertaking  was not  found to be 
acceptable; 
Whereas  the amounts  secured  by way of  provisional  anti-dumping  duties 
should be collected, 
HAS ADOPTED  THIS REGULATION:
