Since the imposition of the duty the Commission 's services have continued
their examination of this matter in collaboration with the Member States .

the provisional duty be extended for a further period not exceeding,
three months to enable the Commission to complete its investigations .
In the circumstances , the Commission submits the attached proposal for a
                                                      *
