Regulation (EC) No 88/97 on the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty on imports of

Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 (1) of 20 January 1997 authorises the exemption from the extended
anti-dumping duty on imports of certain bicycle parts originating in the People's Republic of China. This
duty resulted from the extension by Council Regulation (EC) No 71/97 (2) of the anti-dumping duty
imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2474/93 (3), and as last maintained by Council Regulation (EC)
No 1095/2005 (4). Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 88/97 comprises a list of parties whose requests for
authorisation for exemption from the extended duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 71/97 were under
examination.

Interested parties are hereby informed of the receipt of further requests for exemption, pursuant to Article 3
of Regulation (EC) No 88/97, and of requests which are still under examination at this stage. The suspension
from the extended duty, following these requests, took effect as shown in Annex I to this notice, which
constitutes an addition to the list of parties under examination.
