Notice of initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports
of certain footwear originating in the People's Republic of China, Indonesia and Thailand

(2002/C 140/07)

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.

1. Product

The product under review is certain footwear originating in the
People's Republic of China,
Indonesia and Thailand (‘the
product concerned’), currently classifiable within CN codes
ex 6402 99 98 (TARIC code 6402 99 98 90), ex 6403 99 93
(TARIC code 6403 99 93 90), ex 6403 99 96 (TARIC code

2. Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping
duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 467/98 (3) on
certain footwear originating in the People's
imports of
Republic of China,
Indonesia and Thailand. 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.

(1) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1.
(2) OJ L 257, 11.10.2000, p. 2.
(3) OJ L 60, 28.2.1998, p. 1.

The current measures in the form of a minimum import price
or an ad-valorem duty do not differentiate between sales made
to related parties and sales made to unrelated parties, or
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.
Furthermore, the current measures do not cater for situations
in which imported goods have been damaged before entry into

is necessary for the

(2002/C 140/08)

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.

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

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.
