Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No. 3339/87 was declared void by
the judgement of the Court of Justice of 27 June 1991 In case no. C-49/88
 in as far as it Imposed an ant I-dumping duty on the Saudi Arabian
applI cants.
In these circumstances, It Is considered appropriate to repeal the
ant I-dumping duty Imposed by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 450/89 on
Imports of urea originating In Saudi Arabia, given that the facts having
led to the adoption of Regulation No. 3339/87, which was the subject of
the Court's decision above, were, In essence, not reviewed during the
Investigation leading to the adoption of Regulation (EEC) No. 450/89.   In
addition, It Is considered appropriate to take account of the fact that,
since the original Investigation, the Imports concerned Into the
Community were Insignificant,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                  Article 1
The ant I-dumping duty Imposed on Imports of urea originating In Saudi
Arabia by Council Regulation (EEC) No. 450/89 of 20 February 1989 Is
repealed.
                                  Article 2
This regulation shall enter Into force on the day following Its
publication In the Official Journal of the European Communities.    It
shall apply as from 25.02.1989.
