The EEC Treaty, signed in Rome in 1957, brings together France, Germany, Italy and the Benelux countries in a community whose aim is to achieve integration via trade with a view to economic expansion.
After the Treaty of Maastricht the EEC became the European Community, reflecting the determination of the Member States to expand the Community's powers to non-economic domains.
The Maastricht Treaty brought the three Communities (Euratom, ECSC, EEC) and institutionalised cooperation in the fields of foreign policy, defence, police and justice together under one umbrella, the European Union.
From letters written by the EEC Commission to the companies in question it was evident that the Commission's initial refusal to accept these offers had been based on the fact that the offers did not provide for a commitment to use a proportion of parts of EEC origin deemed satisfactory by the Commission.
The EEC had argued that the conduct of anti-dumping investigations on imported parts would not be an appropriate way of dealing with problems of "circumvention" of anti-dumping duties through assembly operations in view of the large number of such parts which would have to be investigated.
Japan doubted that this general anti-dumping Regulation of the EEC and the Regulations imposing definitive anti-dumping duties in specific cases could be considered to be "not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement" in view of the fact that the methodology applied by the EEC in its anti-dumping investigations led to artificial margins of dumping.
