In January 1983, the Commission imposed a provisional anti-durping duty on
                                                                                1
4 ,4 ' -Isopropylidenediphenol o rig in a tin g in the United States o f America .
2.     Following the imposition o f the said provisional duty, two      American
exporters requested to be heared by the Commission departments.          At the hearings,
various arguments were put forward regarding the determination of the margin of
clumping and the in ju ry -
 3.     The Commission considers that i t is not possible to give a ll the necessqry
 a tte n tio n to the information provided before the expiry o f the period of v a lid ity
 o f the provisional duty.       The Commission therefore informed the exporters concerned
 o f it s in ten tio n to propose an extension of the provisional duty.
 4.    We are therefore in v itin g the Council to decide, in accordance with A rticle 11
 of Regulation ( EEC) No 3017/79^, to extend fo r a period not exceeding two months
 the provisional duty imposed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 163/83.
