Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 
repealing Regulation (EC) No 2674/94 imposing definitive anti-dumping measures on 
imports of Furazolidone originating in the People's Republic of China 
(presented by the Commission) 

Explanatory memorandum 
Consumption of Furazolidone was banned in the European Union by Regulation (EC) 
No 1442/95. As a result, the sole Community producer, Orphahell BV, informed the 
Commission that it intended to cease production of the product concerned and it was, 
therefore, no longer interested in the existing anti-dumping duty on imports from 
Furazolidone originating in China imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2674/94. 
Consequently, it is proposed that the Commission approve the attached proposal for a 
Council Regulation repealing the existing anti-dumping measures on imports of 
Furazolidone originating in China imposed by the above-mentioned Regulation.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994 on protection 
against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in 
particular Article 23 thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against 
dumped or subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Economic 
Community^), 
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after Consulting the Advisory 
Committee, 
Whereas: 
1 OJ No L 349, 31.12.1994, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1251/95 (OJ No L 122, 
02.06.1995, p. 1). 
2 OJ No 209, 02.08.1988, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 522/94 (OJ No L 66, 
10.03.1994, p. 10). 
* A. Previous procedure 
(1) By Regulation (EC) No 2674/94(3), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping 
duty on imports of Furazolidone originating in the People's Republic of China 
following a complaint lodged by Orphahell B V, the sole Community producer of the 
product concerned. 
B. Prohibition of the product concerned, repeal of the existing measures 
(2) By Regulation (EC) No 1442/95(4), the Council prohibited the use of the product 
concerned in animal foodstuffs throughout the Community. 
(3) As a result, the complainant informed the Commission that it had decided to cease 
production of Furazolidone. There is therefore no longer any reason for maintaining 
Council Regulation (EC) No 2674/94 as Community production of Furazolidone has 
ceased and the sale and import of the product concerned is banned. 
C. Repeal of anti-dumping duties 
(4) In view of the foregoing, the anti-dumping duty in force on imports of Furazolidone 
originating in the People's Republic of China should be repealed, thereby terminating 
the proceeding.
