THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

(2)

On 5 May 2000, an anti-dumping proceeding was
initiated by the Commission (3) on imports of certain
iron or steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in
Turkey. This proceeding resulted in a definitive anti-
dumping duty being imposed by Council Regulation
(EC) No 1601/2001 (4)
in August 2001 in order to
eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.

Provisional measures were imposed by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 230/2001 (5).
the
Commission accepted,
inter alia, a price undertaking
from the Turkish exporting producer Celik Halat ve Tel
Sanayii AS by Article 2(1).
Imports of products
produced and directly exported by that company were,

In parallel,

inter alia, exempted from the anti-dumping duty by
Article 2(2).

B. VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF THE UNDER-

TAKING

(4)

Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayii AS advised the Commission
that they wished to withdraw this undertaking. Accord-
ingly, the name of Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayii AS should
be deleted from the list of companies from whom an
undertaking has been accepted.

In parallel to this Regulation, the Council, by Regulation
(EC) No 2288/2002 (6) has also removed the exemption
from the definitive anti-dumping duty granted to Celik
Halat ve Tel Sanayii AS, by amending Article 2(1) of
Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
