Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicant, who manufactures ironing boards and the essen-
tial parts thereof in the People's Republic of China, seeks the
annulment of Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2007 of 23 April
2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting
definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of ironing
boards originating in the People's Republic of China and
Ukraine (1) to the extent that these measures apply to the appli-
cant.

In support of its application, the applicant, first of all, submits
that the Community institutions infringed Article 2(7)(b) and (c)
the Basic Regulation (2) as the Commission presented a
of
proposal for anti-dumping measures to the Council based on a
flawed determination that
the applicant did not satisfy the
Market Economy Status criteria set out in Article 2(7)(c).

Secondly, the applicant alleges that the Community institutions
infringed Article 20(4) and (5) of the Basic Regulation and its
right to be heard as the applicant was only given six days to
respond to the Commissions revised final disclosure letter.
