Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3339/87 was declared void by 
the judgement of the Court of Justice of 27 June 1991 In case no. C-49/88 
in as far as it Imposed an ant I-dumping duty on the Saudi Arabian 
applI cants. 
In these circumstances, It Is considered appropriate to repeal the 
ant I-dumping duty Imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 450/89 on 
Imports of urea originating In Saudi Arabia, given that the facts having 
led to the adoption of Regulation No. 3339/87, which was the subject of 
the Court's decision above, were, In essence, not reviewed during the 
Investigation leading to the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No. 450/89. In 
addition, It Is considered appropriate to take account of the fact that, 
since the original Investigation, the Imports concerned Into the 
Community were Insignificant, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
The ant I-dumping duty Imposed on Imports of urea originating In Saudi 
Arabia by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 450/89 of 20 February 1989 Is 
repealed. 
Article 2 
This regulation shall enter Into force on the day following Its 
publication In the Official Journal of the European Communities. It 
shall apply as from 25.02.1989. 
This regulation shall be binding Is its entirety and directly applicable 
in all Member States.
