Notice of the expiry of certain anti-dumping measures
2011/C 82/04
Further to the publication of a notice of impending expiry (1) following which no request for a review was lodged, the Commission gives notice that the anti-dumping measure mentioned below will shortly expire.
Since in this case the number of Union producers affected by potential dumping is very high and many of them are SMEs, the Commission considered appropriate to monitor for one year the evolution of the imports of footwear with uppers of leather originating in the People's Republic of China and Vietnam and of imports of footwear with uppers of leather consigned from Macao SAR, with a view to facilitate swift appropriate action should the situation so require.
This notice is published in accordance with Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 (2) on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community.
