The level of residual duty applicable to imports from all other companies is 17.3%.
The second regulation repeals the anti-dumping duties, in place since June 2002, on imports of recordable compact disks originating in Taiwan, and repeals the countervailing duties put in place at the end of May 2003 on imports of similar products originating in India.
The third regulation imposes a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Russian Federation, and repeals the anti-dumping measures on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in Thailand and Turkey. (L.C.)
