On 20 December 1979 the Council adopted Regulation ( EEC ) 3017 / 79 ,  \
on protection against dumped or subsidised imports from countries       ;
not members of the European Economic Community . Article 14 of
that Regulation provides for the possibility of a review of
measures taken by the Community institutions and lays down that
such a review may be held if an interested party so requests and
submits positive information substantiating the need for review .
Since , however , anti-dumping and countervailing measures are
taken only after a lengthy, costly and formal investigation it is
proposed to lay down a minimum period which must elapse after the
conclusion of a proceeding before a review is held at the request
of interested parties . The possibility of a review at the request .
of a Member State or on the initiative of the Commission would
remain unchanged .
                                                                         !
