      Questions referred
   
   
               1.
            
            
               Are cables made of polypropylene and steel thread such as those at issue in the present case included under subheading 5607 49 11 of the Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1) of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff?

               Is it necessary, in order to classify cables such as those at issue in the present case, to apply Rule 3(b) of the General Rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff?
            
         
               3.
            
            
               If the composite cables, made of polypropylene and steel thread, whose maximum transversal section exceeds 3 mm, like those at issue in this case, are nevertheless included under subheading 7312 90 98 of the Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff, are such cables also covered by Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 (2) of 2 August 2001 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey?
