71It should be pointed out, in that regard, that in anti-dumping cases the Council and the Commission depend on the willingness of the parties to cooperate in providing it with the necessary information within the prescribed periods. Even though, in the present case, the strict time-limits introduced by Regulation No 3283/94 of 22 December 1994, cited above, in the wake of the new agreements entered into in 1994 on the implementation of Article VI of General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade, were not applicable (see paragraph 17 above), the Community institutions were nevertheless obliged, in accordance with Article 7(9)(a) of the basic regulation, to conclude the investigation within one year of the initiation of the proceeding or, at the latest, within a reasonable period (Joined Cases T-163/94 and T-165/94 NTN Corporation and Koyo Seiko v Council [1995] ECR II-1381, paragraph 119).
