COMMISSION DECISION of 27 August 1982 terminating the review of the special measures in respect of imports of certain nuts of iron or steel originating in Taiwan (82/627/EEC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 113 thereof, Whereas, by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2464/77 of 7 November 1977 (1), a special additional duty was imposed on imports of certain nuts of iron or steel originating in Taiwan; whereas Article 2 of this Regulation declared Article 18 of Regulation (EEC) No 459/68 to be of analogous application; Whereas the European Industrial Fasteners Institute (EIFI) on behalf of all Community producers of the product in question requested a review of this duty on the grounds that it was no longer sufficient to remove the injury caused by these imports; Whereas the Commission consequently decided that a review was warranted and published a notice to this effect in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2); Whereas the request from EIFI to review the special duty was motivated by the fact that imports of the product concerned had increased from approximately 5 500 tonnes in 1978 (the first full year in which the duty was in effect) to 9 000 tonnes in 1979 and to 19 500 tonnes in 1980; whereas the level of imports in 1976, the year before the duty was imposed, had been 9 000 tonnes; Whereas, however, the Commission has subsequently discovered that imports in 1981 had fallen to approximately 5 000 tonnes, i.e. the same as 1978; whereas the information available to date indicates that imports in 1982 will not be greater than in 1981; whereas it is consequently not considered necessary to vary the duty of 15 %, HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: Sole Article The review proceeding in respect of the special duty on imports of certain nuts of iron or steel originating in Taiwan is hereby terminated.
