By Regulation ( EEC ) No . 2712 / 79 of 30 November 1979 the Commission
 imposed a provisional ant i -dumping duty on certain acrylic fibres
originating in the United States of America .       The maximum period of
validity of this measure is three months and the Community 's Anti-
dumping Regulation ( EEC ) No . 459 / 68 ( now replaced by Regulation ( EEC )
No . 3017 / 79 ) requires the Commission to submit e proposal , either
for definitive measures or for an extension of the duty , to the Council
not later than one month before the expiry        of the Commission 's
measure .
Since the imposition of the duty the Commission 's services have continued
their examination of this matter in collaboration with the Member States ,
Due to the complexity of this investigation it has not been possible to
complete it and thus to submit a proposal for definitive measures based
on the full facts of the case .
The only known American exporter involved has therefore requested that the
provisional        duty be extended for , a further period not exceeding *
  two  months to enable the Commission to complete its investigations .
In the circumstances , the Commission submits the attached proposal for a
Council Regulation extending the provisional anti-dumping duty ,
on certain acrylic fibres originating in the United States of America ,
for a further period not exceeding two         months .
