In January 1983, the Commission imposed a provisional anti-durping duty on
1
4,4' -Isopropylidenediphenol originating in the United States of America .
2. Following the imposition of the said provisional duty, two American 
exporters requested to be heared by the Commission departments. At the hearings, 
various arguments were put forward regarding the determination of the margin of 
clumping and the injury-
3. The Commission considers that i t  is not possible to give a ll the necessqry 
attention to the information provided before the expiry of the period of va lid ity  
of the provisional duty. The Commission therefore informed the exporters concerned 
of its  intention to propose an extension of the provisional duty.
4. W e  are therefore in vitin g  the Council to decide, in accordance  with Article 1 1  
of Regulation ( E E C ) N o 3017/79^, to extend for a period not exceeding two months 
the provisional duty imposed by Commission Regulation  (EEC) N o  163/83.
