Applicant and appellant on a point of law:

Defendant and respondent in the appeal on a point of law:

Questions referred

1.Is Article 14(c) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 88/97 to be interpreted as meaning that that exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty may be combined with the other exemptions under Article 14(a) and/or (b) of Regulation No 88/97 in the same authorisation for an end use within the meaning of Article 254 of the Union Customs Code?

2.May Article 14(c) of Regulation No 88/97 be interpreted as meaning that, in the authorisation, fewer than 300 units of a given essential bicycle part per customer may be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty on a monthly basis?

3.Does the quantity of fewer than 300 units on a monthly basis referred to in Article 14(c) of Regulation No 88/97 constitute an exemption threshold, with the consequence that the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty as a whole ceases to apply if a party declares or forwards more than 299 units on a monthly basis, or does it constitute an allowance, in which case 299 units remain exempted in any event, regardless of whether that quantity is exceeded?
