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

- OBJECTIVE: to repeal Regulation No 3283/94/EC on the common system of protection against imports which are the object of dumping by non-member countries, and which contain numerous technical errors (mainly in translation), and to propose a corrected and updated version of this regulation. - COMMUNITY MEASURE: Council Regulation (EEC) No 384/96 on protection against the dumping of imported products by countries which are not Members of the European Community. - SUBSTANCE: In its Regulation No 3283/94/EC, the Council has 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 No 355/95/EC), . 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, the regulation contained significant errors in translation, which varied from language to language. For this reason a new regulation was adopted which contains a correct version of the basic text and incorporates the two amendments outlined above. The present regulation in no way alters the validity of the procedures which have been entered into under the provision of the basic regulation. - ENTRY INTO FORCE: 06.03.1996 (apart from certain special cases involving complaints or inquiries which have already commenced under the provisions of the former version of the regulation). �
