Whereas:

Council Regulation (EC) No 268/2002
of 12 February 2002
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of polysulphide polymers originating in the United States of America
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community(1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1965/98(2) imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on polysulphide polymers originating in the United States of America in September 1998.
(2) These duties were imposed following a complaint lodged by Akcros Chemicals GmbH &  Co. KG, Germany, the sole Community producer of polysulphide polymers.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(3) By a letter of 20 July 2001 to the Commission, Akcros Chemicals GmbH &  Co. KG formally withdrew its complaint and requested that the measures be repealed. This request was based on the fact that the sole exporting producer in the relevant country had decided to cease production of the product concerned.
(4) In accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, a proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(5) The Commission announced its intention to investigate whether the measures should be retained in a Notice published on 4 October 2001(3). Two responses were received following this Notice from the user industry, both supporting the repealing of the measures. In addition, the sole Community producer confirmed its position that the measures were no longer appropriate. It is, therefore, considered that termination of the proceeding would not be against the Community interest.
(6) It is therefore concluded that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning polysulphide polymers originating in the United States of America should be terminated,
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of polysulphide polymers currently classifiable within CN code ex 4002 99 90 and originating in the United States of America is hereby terminated.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas:
When import licences were allocated for the second half of 2002 for certain quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001, applications for licences covered quantities less than those available for the products concerned. As a result, the quantity available for each quota for the period 1 January to 30 June 2003 should be fixed, taking account of the unallocated quantities resulting from Commission Regulations (EC) No 1375/2002(5) and (EC) No 1916/2002(6) determining the extent to which the applications for import licences submitted in July and October 2002 for certain dairy products under certain tariff quotas opened by Regulation (EC) No 1375/2001 can be accepted,
The quantities available for the period 1 January to 30 June 2003 for the second half of the year of importation of certain quotas referred to in Regulation (EC) No 2535/2001 shall be as set out in the Annex.
