OF DESTINATION ; WHEREAS IN SUCH CASES THE DUMPING MARGIN WAS DETERMINED ON THE BASIS OF THOSE EXPORT PRICES WHICH WERE CONSIDERED REPRESENTATIVE , ACCOUNT BEING TAKEN OF THE QUANTITIES INVOLVED AND OF THE SITUATION ON THE VARIOUS COMMUNITY MARKETS ;
WHEREAS THE ABOVE PRELIMINARY EXAMINATION OF THE FACTS SHOWS THE EXISTENCE OF DUMPING IN RESPECT OF IMPORTS FROM THE NON-MARKET ECONOMY COUNTRIES IN QUESTION , THE DUMPING MARGIN BEING EQUAL TO THE AMOUNT BY WHICH THE NORMAL VALUE AS ESTABLISHED ABOVE EXCEEDS THE PRICE AT WHICH THE GOODS ARE EXPORTED TO THE COMMUNITY ; WHEREAS THIS MARGIN VARIES CONSIDERABLY DEPENDING ON THE TYPE OF ALARM CLOCK AND THE EXPORTING COUNTRY ;
WHEREAS IT WAS THEREFORE NECESSARY TO ESTABLISH AVERAGE DUMPING MARGINS ; WHEREAS , FOR THE USSR , THE WEIGHTED AVERAGE DUMPING MARGIN WAS 1.75 EUA PER CLOCK FOR TWIN BELL MODELS , AND 1.50 EUA FOR OTHER MODELS ; WHEREAS FOR CZECHOSLOVAKIA , CHINA AND THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC THE COMMISSION DOES NOT POSSSESS SUFFICIENT INFORMATION TO ESTABLISH A WEIGHTED AVERAGE DUMPING MARGIN ; WHEREAS , HOWEVER , FOR LARGE TWIN BELL ALARMS FALLING WITHIN NIMEXE CODE 91.04-56 THE DUMPING MARGINS ESTABLISHED WERE : IN THE CASE OF CZECHOSLOVAKIA , BETWEEN 0.93 EUA AND 1.11 EUA ; IN THE CASE OF CHINA , 1.60 EUA ; AND IN THE CASE OF THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC 1.30 EUA ; WHEREAS FOR OTHER MODELS FROM THESE THREE COUNTRIES THE MARGINS ESTABLISHED VARY FROM ZERO TO 0.91 EUA , WITH ARITHMETIC AVERAGES OF 0.04 EUA FOR CZECHOSLOVAKIA , 0.38 EUA FOR CHINA AND 0.35 EUA FOR THE GERMAN DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC ;
WHEREAS , WITH REGARD TO THE INJURY CAUSED TO THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY , THE EVIDENCE AVAILABLE TO THE COMMISSION SHOWS THAT IMPORTS INTO THE COMMUNITY OF THE MECHANICAL ALARM CLOCKS IN QUESTION ORIGINATING IN THE COUNTRIES FOUND TO BE DUMPING ROSE FROM 2.80 MILLION PIECES IN 1975 TO 4.71 MILLION PIECES IN 1978 , AND REACHED 1.49 MILLION PIECES FOR THE FIRST SIX MONTHS OF 1979 ; WHEREAS , IN VIEW OF THE SEASONAL NATURE OF ALARM CLOCK SALES , THIS LATTER FIGURE CANNOT NECESSARILY BE TAKEN AS INDICATING A REVERSAL OF THE UPWARD TREND ;
WHEREAS THE INFORMATION AVAILABLE SUGGESTS THAT FOR 1978 IMPORTS OF THE MECHANICAL ALARM CLOCKS IN QUESTION ORIGINATING IN THE COUNTRIES FOUND TO BE DUMPING TOOK A MARKET SHARE OF 36 % IN THE COMMUNITY COMPARED WITH 22 % IN 1975 ; WHEREAS IN 1978 THESE IMPORTS TOOK A MARKET SHARE OF 17 % IN GERMANY , 42 % IN FRANCE AND 21 % IN THE UNITED KINGDOM AND IRELAND ;
WHEREAS IN 1979 THE RESALE PRICES IN THE COMMUNITY OF THE MECHANICAL ALARM CLOCKS FOR WHICH DUMPING WAS FOUND UNDERCUT THE PRICES OF LIKE MECHANICAL ALARM CLOCKS PRODUCED BY COMMUNITY MANUFACTURERS BY SUBSTANTIAL MARGINS ; WHEREAS , FOR EXAMPLE , FOR TWIN BELL ALARMS THE PRICES OF THE DUMPED IMPORTS UNDERCUT THE LOWEST KNOWN PROFIT-MAKING PRICE CHARGED BY A COMMUNITY MANUFACTURER AT THE SAME
