Protection against dumped imports from countries non members of the European Community, Uruguay Round

- OBJECTIVE: to adopt Regulation (EC) No 3283/94 on the common system of protection against imports which are the object of dumping by non-member countries, and which contains numerous technical errors (mainly in translation), and to propose a corrected and updated version of this regulation. - SUBSTANCE: In its Regulation (EC) No 3283/94, the Council adopted a common system for protection against imports which are the object of dumping by countries which are not Members of the European Community (OJ(L) 349/94, p.1). This regulation has already been the subject of two amendments since its entry into force: . one specifying the periods of time for the procedures to which it applies (Council Regulation (EC) No 355/95), . the other, applying the basic regulation of 22.12.1994, specifying the date of entry into force of the deadlines which apply to each stage of the procedure (Council Regulation No 1251/95): acceptance or rejection of complaints, imposition of provisional duties and conclusion of inquiries. Furthermore, it appears that the published version of this regulation contained significant errors in translation, which varied from language to language. For this reason the Commission was now proposing a new version of the regulation, which both incorporated the two amendments and contained a perfectly correct version of the basic text. This new regulation in no way alters the validity of the procedures entered into under the provisions of the basic regulation. �
