                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
  In, June 1981 the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty
  of 14.7 % on imports of p-xylene ( paraxylene ) originating in Puerto
  Rico, the United States of America and the US Virgin Islands . The
  Council confirmed this duty as definitive in Regulation ( EEC ) 2940 / 81
  of 15 October 1981 .              '  ■
  During the investigation , but at a time when the Commission 's
  proposal for the confirmation of the provisional duty as definitive
  was already before the Council , Exxon Chemical International Supply
  SA offered to respect the normal value < 27 cents per lb FOB US port )
" established during the reference period and offered an undertaking
  in this respect . It is therefore proposed that this be accepted by
  the Council and that Exxon should consequently be excluded from the
  application of the definitive duty .        .

                                                 this duty as definitive ,
  Whereas Exxon Chemical International Supply S.A. has voluntarily under­
   taken to respect the normal values established during the investigation;
   whereas this undertaking was received during the investigation but at a stage
   too late to be taken account of in Regulation ( EEC ) No 2940/ 81 ;
     Whereas the Council                                                                                  .. -
   considers this undertaking to be acceptable; whereas it is consequently
   appropriate to exclude the imports of the p–xylene exported by this
   company from the application of the duty; whereas Article 1 ( 2 )
   of Regulation (EEC ) No 2940/ 81 should therefore be amended to take account
   of these facts ,
