COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 2967/92  of 12 October 1992  amending Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as DRAMs (dynamic random access memories)  originating in Japan and collecting definitively the provisional dutyTHE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 14 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,  Whereas:  I. Previous procedure  (1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 165/90 (2), accepted undertakings offered by certain producing companies in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as DRAMs (dynamic  random access memories) originating in Japan falling within CN codes 8542 11 12, 8542 11 14, 8542 11 16 and 8542 11 18 for finished DRAMs, within CN code ex 8542 11 01 for DRAM wafers, within CN code ex 8542 11 05 for DRAM dice and within CN codes ex  8473 30 10 or ex 8548 00 00 for DRAM memory boards (DRAM modules). In addition and subsequently, the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 (3), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of the product concerned.  II. Review procedure  (2) By a notice published on 25 February 1992 (4) the Commission, after consultation within the Advisory Committee, and in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, initiated a partial review of Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 with regard  to DRAMs produced in Japan by Motorola Incorporated (Motorola), imports of which are subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty.  III. Commission Decision  (3) On the basis of the findings of the partial review, the Commission has accepted an undertaking offered by Motorola by Commission Decision 92/494/EEC (5), in accordance with Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88.  IV. Amendment of the reviewed measures  (4) In view of Decision 92/494/EEC, Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 should be amended in order to exempt DRAMs produced by Motorola from the definitive duty.  (5) After the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90, several Japanese producers from which undertakings have been accepted contacted the Commission and requested that the names of some of their affiliated companies which had not been involved in DRAM  exports to the Community when Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 was published should be added to the list in Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90, since DRAM exports to the Community would be made by these companies in the future.  (6) The Commission considers this request fully justified and the Council confirms this view. Therefore the list in Annex I must be amended.  (7) Since the review related only to the circumstances of one producer in Japan, the measures contained in the aforementioned Regulations (EEC) No 165/90 and (EEC) No 2112/90 are not being amended or confirmed within the meaning of Article 15 (1) of  Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 and consequently the date on which they were due to expire pursuant to this provision remains unchanged,  HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:  Article 1  Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 is hereby amended as follows:  1. the first indent of Article 1 (4) shall be replaced by the following:  '- they are produced and exported to the Community by the following companies, which have offered undertakings which have been accepted pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 165/90 and pursuant to Article 1 of Decision 92/494/EEC:  - Fujitsu Limited,  - Hitachi Ltd,  - Matsushita Electronics Corporation,  - Mitsubishi Electric Corporation,  - Motorola Incorporated, USA,  - NEC Corporation,  - NMB Semiconductor Co.
