48It must be observed at the outset that the argument put forward by Chemi-Con is based on too superficial a reading of the judgment under appeal. It is true that, in paragraphs 57 and 58 of the judgment, the Court of First Instance confines itself to indicating, essentially, that the difference in treatment to the disadvantage of imports from Japan has a legislative basis in Article 11(2) of the basic regulation, which is a specific rule providing for the collection of antidumping duties pending the results of the expiry review of a measure. However, consideration should also be given to paragraphs 54 to 56 of the judgment, in which the Court of First Instance describes the essential characteristics of the initial investigation and those of an expiry review of a measure, which are two antidumping proceedings subject to different rules under that regulation. By describing the essential characteristics, the Court of First Instance thus made reference not only to the fact that the two proceedings are governed by different provisions, but also more generally to the reasons which led the Community legislature to lay down, in that regulation, specific rules for each of those proceedings.
