 ---pagebreak---        Explanatory Memorandum
  1.  As a result of an anti-dumping investigation carried out by
its services in collaboration with the competent experts of the
Member States , the Commission , by Regulation ( EEC ) No . 2757/ 76
of 12 November 1976 imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on
imports of cycle chain originating in Taiwan with the exception of
shipments which arrived at prices which could be considered as normal ,
1.e . at a price equal to , or higher than , ,1.39 units of account
per kilogramme . The Commission subsequently adopted Regulation ( EEC )
No . 2888 / 76 defining the unit of account to be used for this
purpose .
2.    The Community 's anti-dumping Regulation ( EEC ) No . 459 / 68
provides that provision ^ anti-dumping duties shall have a maximum period
of validity of three months and under Article 17 it is for the
Council to decide on the definitive collection of the duty and on the
 imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty .
3.    Since the facts as finally established show that there is
 dumping and resultant material injury and that the interests of the
 Community call for Community intervention , the Commission submits the
 attached propsoal for a Council Regulation concerning the application
 of the anti-dumping duty .

                cycle ohains originating in Taiwan
THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

protection against dumping or the granting of bounties or subsidies , by
countries which are not members of the European Economic Community^
as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2OII/73' , and in particular
Article 17 thereof,
Having regard to the Opinion of the Advisory Committee set up under the
said Regulation ,
Whereas by Regulation (EEC) No 2757/76 of 12 November 1976^, oompleted
by Regulation (EEC) No 2888/76^\ the Commission imposed a provisional
anti-dumping duty on cycle chains originating in Taiwan ;
Whereas the facts as finally established confirm that the factors which
led to the Commission imposing the said measure still exist and whereas
they show in particular that there is dumping and resultant material
injury and that the interests of the Community call for Community
intervention ;
Whereas , therefore , it is necessary to impose) definitively the anti-
dumping duty already imposed provisionally and to decide to oollect
definitively the amounts secured by way of provisional duty ;
