Sobesedilo: Ker je treba določiti način, na katerega je treba zainteresirane stranke obvestiti o informacijah, ki jih zahtevajo pristojni organi in jim zagotoviti dovolj priložnosti, da predstavijo vse relevantne dokaze in da branijo svoje interese; ker je prav tako zaželeno jasno opisati pravila in postopke, ki se jih je treba držati med preiskavo, predvsem pravila, po katerih se morajo zainteresirane stranke javiti, predstaviti svoje poglede in predložiti informacije znotraj določenega časovnega roka, če naj se ti pogledi in informacije upoštevajo; ker je prav tako primerno določiti pogoje, pod katerimi ima lahko zainteresirana stranka dostop do informacij in možnost komentarja informacij, ki jih predstavijo druge zainteresirane stranke; ker bi prav tako moralo obstajati sodelovanje med državami članicami in Komisijo pri zbiranju informacij.

Sobesedilo: Whereas it is necessary to lay down the manner in which interested parties should be given notice of the information which the authorities require, and should have ample opportunity to present all relevant evidence and to defend their interests; whereas it is also desirable to set out clearly the rules and procedures to be followed during the investigation, in particular the rules whereby interested parties are to make themselves known, present their views and submit information within specified time limits, if such views and information are to be taken into account; whereas it is also appropriate to set out the conditions under which an interested party may have access to, and comment on, information presented by other interested parties; whereas there should also be cooperation between the Member States and the Commission in the collection of information.
