Notice of initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports
of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters originating in the People's Republic of China and
Taiwan

(2002/C 140/10)

The Commission has decided on its own initiative to initiate a
partial
interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Council
Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (1), as last amended by Regulation
(EC) No 2238/2000 (2) (‘the basic Regulation’) limited to the
form of the existing measures.

The current measures in the form of a specific anti-dumping
duty do not cater for situations in which imported goods have
been damaged before entry into free circulation. In this respect
it should be noted that the measures should not go beyond
what is necessary for the removal of injury.

1. Product

The products under review are gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket
flint lighters originating in the People's Republic of China and
Taiwan currently classifiable within CN code 9613 10 00
(TARIC code 9613 10 00 19). These CN codes are given only
for information.

2. Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping
duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1824/2001 (3) on
imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters orig-
inating in the People's Republic of China and Taiwan. The duty
is in the form of a specific duty.

3. Grounds for the review

The Commission has decided on its own initiative to initiate an
interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) in order to examine
the appropriateness of the measures in force with regard to the
following issue.

(1) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 257, 11.10.2000, p. 2.
(3) OJ L 248, 18.9.2001, p. 1.

Notice of initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports
of unwrought unalloyed magnesium originating in the People's Republic of China

(2002/C 140/11)

The Commission has decided on its own initiative to initiate a
partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation
(EC) No 384/96 (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2238/2000 (2) (‘the basic Regulation’) limited to the form of
the existing measure.

People's Republic of China. The duty is in the form of a
minimum import price or an ad valorem duty.

3. Grounds for the review

The Commission has decided on its own initiative to initiate an
interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) in order to examine
the appropriateness of the measures in force with regard to the
following issues.

2. Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping
duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2402/98 (3) on

(1) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 257, 11.10.2000, p. 2.
(3) OJ L 298, 7.11.1998, p. 1, as last amended by Regulation (EC) No

2788/2000 (OJ L 324, 21.12.2000, p. 4).

The current measures in the form of a minimum import price
do not differentiate between first sales and successive sales to
the Community, and it has become apparent that this can lead
to enforcement problems. Consequently, the existing measures
do not appear sufficient to counteract the dumping which is
causing injury.
