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

(2002/C 140/08)

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 measures.

1. Product

The product under review is artificial corundum originating in
the People's Republic of China currently classifiable within CN
codes 2818 10 10 and 2818 10 90. 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 1951/97 (3) on

(1) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 257, 11.10.2000, p. 2.
(3) OJ L 276, 9.10.1997, p. 9.

imports of artificial corundum originating in the People's
Republic of China. 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.

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.
