A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE

The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2334/97,
imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on certain
imports of flat pallets of wood falling within CN
code ex 4415 20 20 originating in the Republic of
Poland and accepted undertakings offered from
certain producers in connection with these imports.
Sampling was applied to Polish producers/export-
ers and individual duties ranging from 4,0 % to
10,6 % were imposed on the companies in the
sample, while other cooperating companies not
included in the sample received a weighted average
duty of 6,3 %. A duty of 10,6 % was imposed on
companies which either did not make themselves
known or did not cooperate in the investigation.
The producers
from which undertakings were
accepted were exempted from anti-dumping duties
with regard to imports of one specific pallet type,

Regulation (EC) No 905/98 (OJ L 128, 30. 4. 1998, p. 18).

(2) OJ L 324, 27. 11. 1997, p. 1.

(2)

Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 stipu-

evidence to the Commission that:

that any party which provides

(cid:190) it did not export to the Community or produce
wooden pallets described in Article 1(1) of that
Regulation during the investigation period,

(cid:190) it is not related to any of the producers or
exporters in Poland which are subject to the
anti-dumping duties imposed by that Regula-
tion,

(cid:190) it has actually exported to the Community the
goods concerned after the investigation period,
or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual
obligation to export a significant quantity to the
Community;

then that Regulation can be amended by granting
that party the duty rate applicable to cooperating
producers which were not in the sample, i.e. 6,3 %.

Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97
provided that any party which met the criteria set
out in Article 4(1) thereof can also be exempted
from the payment of the anti-dumping duty if an
undertaking with regard to the so-called EUR-
pallet had been accepted from such party.

B. NEW EXPORTERS’ REQUEST

(3)

Eighteen new Polish exporting producers having
requested the same treatment as the companies
which cooperated in the original investigation but
were not included in the sample, have provided, on
request, evidence showing that
the
requirements set out in Article 4(1) of Regulation
(EC) No 2334/97. The evidence provided by these
