The Commission, in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88, 
conducted  a  sunset  review  of  the  anti-dumping  measures  imposed  by  Council 
Regulation (EEC) No  1531788 on imports of potassium permanganate originating 
in the People's Republic of China. 

As  a  result  of  that  review,  the  Council  adopted  Regulation  (EC)  No  2819/94 
imposing  a definitive  anti-dumping  duty  on  imports  of  potassium  permanganate 
from  China.  Although implicetely intended to replace Regulation (EEC) 1531/88, 
Regulation (EC) No  2819/94  does not  expressely  repeal  (EEC) No  1531/88.  It 
appears necessary to clarify that Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 replaces Regulation 
(EEC) No 1531/88. 

The Commission, in accordance with Articles  12,  14 and 15 of Regulation (EEC) 
No  2423/88,  is  now  proposing  to  amend  Regulation  (EC)  No  2819/94 
accordingly.

amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION 

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 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 0), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No. 522/94 <2>> and in 
particular Articles 12,14 and 15 thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission submitted after consultation within 
the Advisory Committee, 

( 1 )  Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No.  1531/88 <3>, imposed a definitive 

anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate originating in the People's 
Republic of China.  The amount of the duty imposed was equal to either the amount 
by which the free-at-Community-frontier-price per kilogram net, before duty, was 
less than ECU 2.25 or 20% of that price per kilogram net,  free-at-Community-
frontier,  before duty, whichever was the higher; 

(2)  Whereas, following a review of the measures, the Council adopted Regulation 
2819/94 w, imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium 
permanganate originating in the People's Republic of China.  The amount of duty 
imposed is ECU 1.26 per kilogram.  The Regulation entered into force on 20 
November 1994; 

(3)  Whereas, however, Regulation (EC) No. 2819/94 does not specifically provide for 
the repeal or amendment of Regulation (EEC) No.  1531/88, and it is therefore 
appropriate to clarify that Regulation (EEC) 1531/81 is repealed and is replaced by 
Regulation (EC) No 2819/94.  Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 should therefore be 
amended accordingly;
