Hence, it is considered that the level of the duty should therefore be maintained at the level established in the original investigation.

The investigation did not reveal any reason why the level of dumping would disappear or decrease if the measures were to be repealed.

If the test result for the aggregate sample is less than but close to the maximum level and if it is suspected that individual cans might exceed the maximum level then it might be necessary to conduct further investigations.

It was found that the average export price of the Moldovan exports to the Community were below the injury elimination level of Community prices as established in the original investigation.

The dumping margin, expressed as a percentage of the cif Community frontier price duty unpaid, was significant, i.e. 12,5 %, although well below the level found in the previous investigations.

It now appears that more time is needed for the investigations to define possible measures to reduce the dioxin levels in free range and semi-intensive eggs and for implementing these measures.

The investigation has revealed that the import volume of the product under consideration from China was higher than in the IP of the previous expiry review and that it had clearly remained at dumped levels.

In order to reduce or eliminate sources of undesirable substances of products intended for animal feed, Member States, in cooperation with economic operators, shall carry out investigations to identify the sources of undesirable substances, in cases where the maximum levels are exceeded and in cases where increased levels of such substances are detected, taking into account background levels.

It was considered appropriate during the original investigation to impose duties in the form of a specific amount per tonne, since PET prices can fluctuate in line with fluctuations in crude oil prices, thus significantly affecting the level of the duty.

In the light of the foregoing, it is considered that the individual definitive anti-dumping duty for the exporter concerned should be kept at the level of the definitive countrywide anti-dumping duty rate established in the original investigation, i.e. 14,2 %.

The original investigation, however, concluded that it was appropriate to impose duties in the form of a specific amount per tonne, since PET prices can fluctuate in line with fluctuations in crude oil prices, thus significantly affecting the level of the duty.

As shown above, a full examination of the facts established and the conclusions reached in the original investigation, taking account of the recommendations and rulings set out in the Reports, demonstrates that imports from Brazil were still injuriously dumped, although at a slightly lower level,

As the investigation in question was concluded by a final determination as to dumping and injury, by Regulation (EC) No 1784/2000, it is considered appropriate that the definitive anti-dumping rate is set at the level and in the form imposed by that Regulation, namely 26,1 % of the net, free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty.

The volume imported during the IP is near the level of the previous investigation period in the original investigation (120000 t).

The level of dumping is thus higher than in the previous investigation (28,2 %).

The level of dumping found was well above that found in the original investigation.

The MIP is at a level that eliminates the injurious effects of dumping found in the original investigation.

Lever-arch mechanisms, falling within the same CN code, are not included in the scope of this investigation.

The investigation of a second or, in exceptional circumstances, a third dose level may be required, dependent upon the results of the preceding dose level.

The situation is even worse than it was during the investigation which led to the measures in place, since, for instance, the level of losses was almost three times higher during the IP of the current investigation than it was in the investigation period of the previous investigation, conducted under Regulation (EC) No 2022/95.

The dumping margin found was substantial and just below the level found in the original investigation (around 50 %).

The return on turnover of REWS as a whole rose from low positive levels in 1994 to over 10 % in the investigation period.
