By Regulation ( EEC ) No 1579 / 80 of 19 June 1980 the Commission imposed a
provisional anti-dumping duty on mechanical alarm clocks ( other than travel
alarms ) originating in the German Democratic Republic and the USSR .      The
maximum peri9d of validity of this measure is four months and the basic
regulation in this field ( Regulation ( EEC ) No 3017 / 79 ) requires the Commission
to submit any proposal'   for definitive action to the Council not later than
one month before expiry of the period of validity of provisional duties .
Since the imposition of the provisional duty , the Commission has had a
technical appraisal carried out to help determines, in the context of the final
establishment of the dumping margin , the appropriate allowances to make for
differences in the physical characteristics of the clocks concerned .       Given the
complex nature of this case , the Commission has not yet been able to complete
this task .
                                                                               /
The Commission has therefore notified the two exporters concerned of its
intention to propose the extension of the provisional duty .       Neither has
raised any objections .
The Commission consequently submits the attached proposal for a Council        -
Regulation extending the provisional anti-dumping duty on mechanical alarm
clocks ( other than travel alarms ) originating in the German Democratic
Republic and the USSR .
