    Questions referred

    1.

    Does the unlawfulness of a Community regulation, which cannot in fact or in law be challenged by a trader by means of an individual action to have it annulled, amount for that trader to a case of force majeure which permits the time-limit provided for in the second sub-paragraph of Article 236(2) of the Community Customs Code to be exceeded (1)?

    2.

    If the first question is answered in the negative, do the provisions of the third sub-paragraph of Article 236(2) of the Community Customs Code require the customs authorities to repay anti-dumping duties of their own initiative when the unlawfulness of those duties has been found following a challenge to their lawfulness by a Member State of the World Trade Organisation (‘the W.T.O.’):

    1.

    from the time of the first communication of the country concerned contesting the lawfulness of the anti-dumping regulation;

    2.

    from the time of the panel report finding the unlawfulness of the anti-dumping regulation;

    3.

    from the time of the report of the Appellate Body of the W.T.O. which led the European Community to recognise the unlawfulness of the anti-dumping regulation?

    (1)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (OJ 1992 L 302, p. 1).
