2. US Industrial Chemical s Go. has informed the Commission that it changed 

its business name with effect from 17 December 1987 and that it has 

subsequently exported under the name of "Quantum Chemical Corporation, 

USI Division". 

3. Having examined the documents submitted by the applicant in support of 

its assertion, the Commission has  verified the change of business name 

and the fact that there has been no other change in ownership or in the 

legal, production or marketing structures of the company in question. 

It therefore considers that the 5.9% rate of the anti-dumping duty is 

applicable to Quantum Chemical Corporation, USI Division. 

4. The Council confirms the Commission's conclusion.  Regulation (EEC) 

No 1282/81 must therefore be amended again in order to ensure its uniform 

application in all the Member States, with effect from 17 December 1987, 

so as to cover all consignments from the company in question under its 

new name,
