Commission  Regulation  (EEC) No 2172/93  imposed provisional  anti-dumping  duties 
on  imports  of  ethanolamines  originating  in the United  States of  America. 

Exporters,  representing  a  significant  percentage  of  the  trade  involved,  asked  for  an 
extension  of  the  validity  of  the  provisional  measures  in  order  to  be  able  to  present 
their  views  in  a more  elaborate  fashion. 

Accordingly, pursuant to Article  11(5) of Council  Regulation  (EEC) No 2423/88, the 
Commission  is submitting to the Council  a draft  Regulation  extending the validity  of 
Commission  Regulation  (EEC)  No 2172/93.
