                       EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By Regulation ( EEC ) N° 2182 / 80 of 15 August 1980 the Commission imposed
a provisional anti-dumping duty on certain chemical fertilizers originating
in the United States of America .     The maximum period of validity of this measure
is four months and the Community 's Anti-dumping Regulation ( EEC ) N ? 3017 / 79
requires the Commission to "submit a proposal , either for definitive measures
or for an extension of the duty , to the Council not later than one month
before the expiry of the provisional measure .
Since the imposition of the duty the Commission 's services have continued
their examination of this matter . Due to the complexity of this investiga­
tion and to the fact that certain American producers have only recently
expressed their willingness to cooperate with the Commission 's services'-
in the investigation , it has' not been possible to complete it and thus
to submit a proposal for diefinitive measures based on the full facts of
the case .
The Commission has notified therefore the exporters known to be concerned
of the intention to extend the provisional duty for a further period of
two months and the exporters representing the quasi-totality of the trade
did not    object .           ' ,                             –
In these circumstances , the Commission submits the attached proposal for
a Council Regulation extending the provisional anti-dumping duty on
certain chemical fertilizers originating in the United States of America
for a further period not exceeding two months .                          /
