2 That application, which was lodged at the Registry of the Court on 15 November 1984, was brought under Articles 185 and 186 of the EEC Treaty and Article 83 of the Rules of Procedure.

NTN TOYO / COUNCIL

3 The applicant refers to its application for the annulment of Articles 1 and 2 of the aforesaid Regulation No 2089/84, which application it lodged at the Registry of the Court on 1 October 1984.

4 Under Article 83 (2) of the Rules of Procedure of the Court, applications for the adoption of interim measures must state the circumstances giving rise to urgency and the factual and legal grounds establishing a prima facie case for the interim measures applied for.

5 In this regard, the applicant has merely stated that the immediate payment of the anti-dumping duties will impose on it financial burdens which would be unnecessary if it succeeded in the main action. It submits that the interests of the Community would be fully protected by the security which it has provided regarding the performance of its obligations up to the amounts payable by it under Articles 1 and 2 of the aforesaid regulation. It also cited the Order of the President of the Court of 14 October 1977 in Case 113/77 R and 113/77 R Int. (NTN Toyo Bearing Co. Ltd v Council, [1977] ECR 1721), stating that it had made deposits of security in the amount of the anti-dumping duty and that the deposits would be maintained in force until the delivery of the judgment.

6 It must be noted that Article 86 (2) of the Rules of Procedure, which provides that the enforcement of an interlocutory order may be made conditional on the lodging by the applicant of security, of an amount and nature to be fixed in the light of the circumstances, does not mean that a person who applies for the suspension of the operation of a measure is dispensed from the need to comply with the provisions of Article 83 (2) of the Rules of Procedure.

The application for interim measures is dismissed.
