By  Regulation         ( E E C ) No 3 5 4 1 / 8 2  of  22    December 1982            the    Commission imposed
provisional        anti-dumping           duties    on n a t u r a l  magnesite,          caustic-burned,
originating        in    China.         The maximum p e r i o d      of  validity         of     this    measure      is
four  months       and the        Community's       anti-dumping         Regulation            ( E E C ) No  3017/79
requires    the      Commission to           submit    a proposal, either                for     definitive       measures
or  for  an e x t e n s i o n     of    the  duty,    to   the   C o u n c i l not      later      than    one   month
before   the     expiry       of    the   provisional        measure.
Since   the    imposition           of   the  duties     the   C o m m i s s i o n ' s s e r v i c e s have    continued
their   examination           of    this    matter.      It   has n o t ,     however,         been p o s s i b l e   to
submit   a proposal           for    definitive       measures b a s e d on           the    full     facts    of    the
case  due   to     the     fact     that    the   Commission's s e r v i c e s are             awaiting       the
results    of    a study        being     made b y    an    independent         expert.
The  Commission has             therefore       notified      the    exporters          known t o       be  concerned
of  the   intention          to   extend     the   provisional         duty     for     a further        period      of
two  months      and     these      exporters      did   not     object.
In  these    c i r c u m s t a n c e s , the   Commission submits             the      attached        proposal      for
a  Council Regulation               extending      the    provisional          anti-dumping            duty   on    natural
magnesite,        caustic-burned, originating                   in    China     for     a further        period      not
exceeding      two      months.
