                          COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )

        of an anti-dumping duty on chains , for cycles and motorcycles ,

 ---pagebreak---                       EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
A definitive anti-dumping duty on chains for cycles and motorcycles
originating in Taiwan was imposed by Regulation ( EEC ) No 316 /77 on
27 February 1977 . This duty corresponds to the difference between the
declared value of these products and 1.39 European units of account
converted into national currencies in accordance with the rates
established in Regulation ( EEC ) No 2571 / 77 published on 27 November
1977 . However , the rates of conversion of the European unit of account
into the national currencies have a tendency to change because of monetary
fluctuations .  This threatens to cause distortions between the normal
value of the products concerned , calculated in United States dollars and
the anti-dumping duties actually collected . It is therefore appropriate
to express the normal value in United States dollars .
In these circumstances , the Commission makes the attached proposal for
a Council Regulation amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 316 / 77 concerning the
application of an anti-dumping duty on chains for cycles and motorcycles
originating in Taiwan .
