                       EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
  In May 1981 the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty of
  14.47 % on imports of o-xylene ( orthoxylerve ) originating in Puerto Rico
  and the United States of America . The Council confirmed this duty as
  definitive in Regulation ( EEC ) 2761 / 81 of 25 September 1981 . Article 2
  of Regulation ( EEC ) 2761 / 81 set out the rates at which the amounts secured
  by way of provisional duty should be definitively collected .. However , the
  rate for the Commonwealth Oil Refinery Company Inc . which had a provi­
  sional duty . of 4.43 % was inadvertently omitted from this Article which
  should therefore , be amended" so that the correct amount applicable to that
_ company will be definitively collected .
