                                                                              2
1. The Commission, in accordance with Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88,
   conducted a sunset review of the anti-dumping measures imposed by Council
   Regulation (EEC) No 1531788 on imports of potassium permanganate originating
   in the People's Republic of China.
2. As a result of that review, the Council adopted Regulation (EC) No 2819/94
   imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate
   from China. Although implicetely intended to replace Regulation (EEC) 1531/88,
   Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 does not expressely repeal (EEC) No 1531/88. It
   appears necessary to clarify that Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 replaces Regulation
   (EEC) No 1531/88.
3. The Commission, in accordance with Articles 12, 14 and 15 of Regulation (EEC)
   No 2423/88, is now proposing to amend Regulation (EC) No 2819/94
   accordingly.

                             COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No /
                                      of
 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty
    on imports of potassium permanganate originating in the People's Republic of China
                         THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No. 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection
against dumped or subsidized importsfromcountries not members of the European
Economic Community 0), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No. 522/94 <2>> and in
particular Articles 12,14 and 15 thereof,
Having regard to the proposalfromthe Commission submitted after consultation within
the Advisory Committee,
(1)      Whereas the Council, by Regulation (EEC) No. 1531/88 <3>, imposed a definitive
        anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium permanganate originating in the People's
        Republic of China. The amount of the duty imposed was equal to either the amount
        by which thefree-at-Community-frontier-priceper kilogram net, before duty, was
        less than ECU 2.25 or 20% of that price per kilogram net, free-at-Community-
        frontier, before duty, whichever was the higher;
(2)     Whereas, following a review of the measures, the Council adopted Regulation
        2819/94 w, imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of potassium
        permanganate originating in the People's Republic of China. The amount of duty
        imposed is ECU 1.26 per kilogram. The Regulation entered into force on 20
       November 1994;
(3)     Whereas, however, Regulation (EC) No. 2819/94 does not specifically provide for
        the repeal or amendment of Regulation (EEC) No. 1531/88, and it is therefore
        appropriate to clarify that Regulation (EEC) 1531/81 is repealed and is replaced by
        Regulation (EC) No 2819/94. Regulation (EC) No 2819/94 should therefore be
        amended accordingly;
