The product under review is coumarin originating in the
People's Republic of China currently classifiable within CN
code ex 2932 21 00 (Tariccode 2932 21 00 10). This CN
code is given for information only.

2. Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping
duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 769/2002 (3) on
imports of coumarin originating in the People's Republic of
China. The duty is in the form of a specific duty.

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.

Commission notice concerning the Alliance between KLM Royal Dutch Airlines and Northwest
Airlines, Inc., (case COMP/D-2/36.111 — procedure under Article 85 (ex Article 89) of the EC
Treaty)

(2002/C 264/05)

(Text with EEA relevance)

On 3 July 1996 the Commission opened a procedure under Article 85 (ex Article 89) of the EC Treaty (1)
in order to examine the compatibility of the Alliance between KLM and NW (the Parties) with Article 81 of
the EC Treaty (Case COMP/D-2/36.111). This procedure relates exclusively to the transatlantic services
covered by the KLM/NW Alliance.

On 30 July 2002 the Commission announced in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European
Communities its intention to take a favourable position on the cooperation agreements between KLM/NW
and to close the proceedings (2). Interested third parties have not raised any substantial new elements.

Accordingly the Commission decided on 28 October 2002 that there is no longer any reason to take
action under Article 85 of the Treaty and that the proceedings can therefore be closed.
