By Regulation ( EEC ) N° 2017/ 81 of 15 July 1981 '      the Commission imposed  V
a provisional anti-dumping duty on      J phenol "             originating in
the United States of America . The maximum period of validity of this
measure is four months and the Community 's Ant i -dumping Regulation ( EEC ) <
N° 3017/ 79 requires the Commission to submit a 'proposal , either for
definitive measures or for an extension of the duty, to thfe Council
not later than one month before the expiry of the provisional measure .
Since the* imposition of the duty the Commission 's services have continued
their examination of this matter . Due to the complexity of this investigation
and to the fact that certain American exporters have only recently expressed
their willingness to cooperate with the Commission 's services in the investi-
                                                           *                 « •
gation, it has not been possible to complete it and thus to submit a proposal
for definitive measures based 'on the full facts of the case .
The Commission has notified therefore the exporters known to be concerned
of the intention to extend the provisional duty for a further period of
two months and the exporters representing nearly al 1 • .      i > of the trade
did not object .
In these circumstances , the Commission submits the attached proposal for
a Council Regulation extending the provisional anti-dumping duty on
phenol     , r          originating in the United States of America
for a further period not exceeding two months .
