The CRC accepts complaints from all consumers, including those residing in European Union Member States.

Therefore, in order to make a meaningful assessment of certain injury indicators, it was necessary also to take into account some data from CRC.

In cases where it does have jurisdiction, the FTC accepts and, resources permitting, acts on consumer complaints received by mail and telephone in its Consumer Response Center ('CRC'), and, more recently, on its website (9).

Furthermore, the fact that TFC, IFC and CRC are related through common ownership, as established under recital 42 of the provisional Regulation, does not exclude the application of Articles 5(4) and 4(1) of the basic Regulation.

Moreover, the published audited accounts of IFC and TFC cover the period from October 2001 to September 2002 while the IP referred to in recital 4 of the provisional Regulation covered the period from 1 July 2001 to 30 June 2002. Furthermore, as mentioned in recitals 41 and 44 of the provisional Regulation, it was found that TFC is part of a single economic entity consisting of TFC, IFC and CRC.

The four cooperating exporters claimed that Transfurans Chemicals BVBA (TFC), Belgium and International Furan Chemicals BV, the Netherlands (IFC) do not constitute the `Community industry` within the meaning of Articles) 5(4) and 4(1) of the basic Regulation, because these companies are very small in view of the number of employees and are owned by a privately held company in the Dominican Republic, Central Romana Corporation (CRC).
