1/ Continuation of the investigation without imposing provisional anti-dumping duties. 
2/ Export prices which are lower than the normal reference value in the final decision will pay provisional anti-dumping duties equivalent to the difference between the 
export price and the normal reference value, except where the latter is more than the dumping margins for each enterprise, in which case duties equivalent to such margins 
will be applied. The export price will be regarded as the price of the product at ex-works level. DEFINITIVE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES IN FORCE AT 30 JIJNF 1QQS
