 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
By Regulation ( EEC ) No 3439 /80 of 22 December 1980 the Council imposed
a def i nit iv#*»anti - dumping duty on imports of certain polyester yarn
originating in the United States of America *
Following the publication of this regulation exporters of yarn
specifically manufactured for the woven .label trade and synthetic
absorbable sutures used for surgical purposes and importers of unfinished
sewing thread claimed that the anti-dumping duty was wrongly levied on .
exports from the United States of America *        .
The Commission has investigated the above claim and has received
confirmation from the complainant producers that the products in quest ion ,
although included under the Nimexe Code relating to all non-textured
polyester yarns , were never intended to be included in the anti-dumping
complaint *                     (                                         -
On the basis of these facts the Commission therefore presents its
proposal for a Council regulation excluding polyester yarn for the woven
label trade , synthetic absorbable sutures and unfinished sewing thread
from the field of application of the definitive anti-dumping duty *

Whereas , according to these        claims,     deliveries of such products into
the Community cause no injury to. the complainant Community producers and
are subject to the definitive anti-dumping duty for the simple reason
that they fall under the same NIMEXE code as imports of the yarn which is
really the object of the complaint ;                 '    * •
