32006R0616	Commission Regulation (EC) No 616/2006 of 20 April 2006 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state	21.4.2006 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 108/7 COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 616/2006 of 20 April 2006 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof, Whereas: (1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund. (2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account. (3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of that Regulation. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector (2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content. (4) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments. (5) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period. (6) The first subparagraph of Article 27(5) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that refunds on the products referred to in Article 1 of that Regulation may vary according to destination, where the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets make this necessary. (7) The significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar from the western Balkan countries since the start of 2001 and in exports of sugar to those countries from the Community seems to be highly artificial. (8) To prevent any abuse through the re-import into the Community of sugar products in receipt of an export refund, no refund should be set for all the countries of the western Balkans for the products covered by this Regulation. (9) In view of the above and of the present situation on the market in sugar, and in particular of the quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market, refunds should be set at the appropriate amounts. (10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar, The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto. This Regulation shall enter into force on 21 April 2006. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.	0	0	0	0	0.5	0	0	0	0	0	0.5	0

31998R2249	Commission Regulation (EC) No 2249/98 of 19 October 1998 imposing provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties on certain imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway and amending Decision 97/634/EC	COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2249/98 of 19 October 1998 imposing provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duties on certain imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway and amending Decision 97/634/EC THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98 (2), and in particular Article 8(10) thereof, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (3), and in particular Article 13(10) thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROCEDURE (1) On 31 August 1996, the Commission announced, by two separate notices published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding (4) as well as an anti-subsidy proceeding (5) in respect of imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway. (2) The Commission sought and verified all information that it deemed necessary for the purpose of its definitive findings. As a result of that examination, it was established that definitive anti-dumping and countervailing measures should be adopted in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping and subsidisation. All interested parties were informed of the results of the investigation and were given the opportunity to comment thereon. (3) On 26 September 1997, the Commission adopted Decision 97/634/EC (6), as last amended by Decision 98/540/EC (7), accepting undertakings offered in connection with the two abovementioned proceedings from the exporters mentioned in the Annex to the Decision and terminating the investigations in respect of them. (4) On the same day, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1890/97 (8), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2052/98 (9), imposed an anti-dumping duty of ECU 0,32 per kilo on imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway. Imports of farmed Atlantic salmon exported by companies from which an undertaking had been accepted were exempted from that duty pursuant to Article 1(2) of that Regulation. (5) Also on the same day, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1891/97 (10), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2052/98, also imposed a countervailing duty of 3,8 % on imports of farmed Atlantic salmon originating in Norway. Imports of farmed Atlantic salmon exported by companies from which an undertaking had been accepted were exempted from that duty pursuant to Article 1(2) of that Regulation. (6) The abovementioned Regulations set out the definitive findings and conclusions on all aspects of the investigations. B. APPARENT FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THE UNDERTAKING (7) In order to ensure the effective implementation and monitoring of the undertakings accepted, the exporters undertook to report to the Commission, every quarter, the details of all their sales on a transaction-by-transaction basis of farmed Atlantic salmon to unrelated customers in the Community. (8) The text of the undertakings specifically provides that failure to comply with the reporting obligations and, in particular, failure to submit the quarterly report within the prescribed time limit except in case of force majeure, would be construed as a violation of the undertaking. (9) Certain Norwegian exporters have failed to comply with their obligation to present a report within the prescribed time limit or have not submitted any report at all for the first quarter of 1998. Those exporters were informed of the consequences of late reporting, and in particular that, should the Commission have reasons to believe that an undertaking is being violated, a provisional anti-dumping and countervailing duty may be imposed pursuant to Article 8(10) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and Article 13(10) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, respectively. Those exporters were also invited to provide, where appropriate, evidence of any force majeure justifying the late submission or the lack of reports, but have so far failed to provide conclusive evidence of such force majeure. (10) One of the nine exporters listed in the Annex to this Regulation, NorMan Trading Ltd AS (11), has notified the Commission that it has changed its name and requested that the newly named company be allowed to enter a new undertaking as a newcomer. However, the Commission is of the view that a mere change of name is not sufficient to qualify a company as a new exporter within the meaning of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1890/97 and Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1891/97. (11) Besides their reporting obligations, the exporters specifically undertook to respect a precisely defined minimum price for sales of the respective presentations of salmon imported into the Community. (12) In monitoring the reports relating to the fourth quarter of 1997, it appeared from additional documents, which the Commission requested, that the exporter Norwell AS had not included a number of credit notes in the report submitted for the quarter in question. After deduction of the omitted credit notes, it appeared that Norwell AS had made sales on the Community market below the minimum price foreseen in the undertaking. C. PROVISIONAL MEASURES (13) Under those circumstances, there are reasons to believe that the undertakings accepted by the Commission from the Norwegian exporters mentioned in the Annex to this Regulation are being breached. (14) It is, therefore, considered imperative that, pending further investigation of those apparent breaches, provisional duties be imposed. D. RATE OF DUTY (15) In accordance with Article 8(10) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, the rate of the anti-dumping duty must be established on the basis of the best information available. (16) In this regard, and in view of recital 107 to Regulation (EC) No 1890/97, it is considered appropriate to set the rates of the provisional anti-dumping duty for all companies concerned at ECU 0,32/kg net product weight. (17) In accordance with Article 13(10) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, the rate of the countervailing duty must be established on the basis of the best information available. Under the present circumstances and in view of recital 149 to Regulation (EC) No 1891/97, it is considered appropriate that the rate of the provisional countervailing duty be set at the level of 3,8 % of the net free-at-Community-frontier price before duty. E. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS (18) The names of the exporters concerned should therefore be deleted from the list annexed to Decision 97/634/EC. (19) In the interests of sound administration, a period should be fixed in which interested parties may make known their views in writing and request a hearing, 1. A provisional anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of farmed (other than wild) Atlantic salmon falling within CN codes ex 0302 12 00 (TARIC code: 0302 12 0019), ex 0304 10 13 (TARIC code: 0304 10 1319), ex 0303 22 00 (TARIC code: 0303 22 0019) and ex 0304 20 13 (TARIC code: 0304 20 1319) originating in Norway and exported by the companies listed in the Annex. 2.

The rate of duty applicable to the net free-at-Community-frontier price, before duty, shall be 3,8 %. 1. The duties referred to in Articles 1 and 2 shall not apply to wild Atlantic salmon (TARIC codes: 0302 12 0011, 0304 10 1311, 0303 22 0011, 0304 20 1311). For the purpose of this Regulation, wild Atlantic salmon shall be that in respect of which the competent authorities of the Member State of landing are satisfied, by means of all customs and transport documents to be provided by interested parties, that it was caught at sea. 2. Unless otherwise specified, the provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply. The parties concerned may make their views known in writing and apply to be heard orally by the Commission within one month after the date of entry into force of this Regulation. In the Annex to Decision 97/634/EC, the names of the companies listed in the Annex to this Regulation are hereby deleted. This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall apply for a period of four months. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
32004R0872	Council Regulation (EC) No 872/2004 of 29 April 2004 concerning further restrictive measures in relation to Liberia	30.4.2004 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 162/32 COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 872/2004 of 29 April 2004 concerning further restrictive measures in relation to Liberia THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Articles 60 and 301 thereof, Having regard to Council Common Position 2004/487/CFSP of 29 April 2004 concerning the freezing of funds of the former Liberian President Charles Taylor and those persons and entities associated with him, (1) Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Whereas: (1) On 10 February 2004, following the adoption by the United Nations Security Council of UNSCR 1521 (2003), setting out revised measures regarding Liberia to take into account the evolution of the situation in Liberia and in particular the departure of former President Charles Taylor, and the adoption of Council Common Position 2004/137/CFSP of 10 February 2004 concerning restrictive measures against Liberia (2), the Council adopted Regulation 234/2004 imposing restrictive measures in respect of Liberia (3). (2) UNSCR 1532 (2004) of 12 March 2004 provides that funds and economic resources owned or controlled by former Liberian President Charles Taylor, Jewell Howard Taylor and Charles Taylor Jr, other immediate family members, his former senior officials and other close allies and associates as designated by the Committee of the Security Council established pursuant to paragraph 21 of UNSCR 1521 (2003) should be frozen. (3) The actions and policies of former Liberian President Charles Taylor and other persons, in particular their depletion of Liberian resources and their removal from Liberia and secreting of Liberian funds and property from that country, have undermined Liberia's transition to democracy and the orderly development of its political, administrative, and economic institutions and resources. (4) In view of the negative impact on Liberia of the transfer abroad of misappropriated funds and assets, and the use of such misappropriated funds by Charles Taylor and his associates to undermine peace and stability in Liberia and the region, the freezing of the funds of Charles Taylor and his associates is necessary. (5) Common Position 2004/487/CFSP provides for the implementation of the freezing of funds and economic resources of the former Liberian President Charles Taylor and his immediate family members, his former senior officials and other close allies and associates. (6) These measures fall within the scope of the Treaty and, therefore, in order to avoid any distortion of competition, Community legislation is necessary to implement them as far as the Community is concerned. For the purpose of this Regulation, the territory of the Community should be deemed to encompass the territories of the Member States to which the Treaty is applicable, under the conditions laid down in that Treaty. (7) Common Position 2004/487/CFSP also provides that certain exemptions from the freezing requirement can be granted for humanitarian purposes or the satisfaction of liens or judgments entered prior to the date of UNSCR 1532 (2004). (8) The UN Security Council has expressed its intention to consider whether and how to make available the funds and economic resources frozen pursuant to UNSCR 1532 (2004) to the Government of Liberia, once that Government has established transparent accounting and auditing mechanism to ensure the responsible use of government revenue to benefit directly the people of Liberia. (9) In order to ensure that the measures provided for in this Regulation are effective, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication, For the purposes of this Regulation, the following definitions shall apply: 1. ‘Sanctions Committee’ means: the Committee of the Security Council of the United Nations which was established pursuant to paragraph 21 of UNSCR 1521 (2003); 2. ‘funds’ means financial assets and benefits of every kind, including but not limited to: (a) cash, cheques, claims on money, drafts, money orders and other payment instruments; (b) deposits with financial institutions or other entities, balances on accounts, debts and debt obligations; (c) publicly and privately traded securities and debt instruments, including stocks and shares, certificates representing securities, bonds, notes, warrants, debentures and derivatives contracts; (d) interest, dividends or other income on or value accruing from or generated by assets; (e) credit, right of set-off, guarantees, performance bonds or other financial commitments; (f) letters of credit, bills of lading, bills of sale; (g) documents evidencing an interest in funds or financial resources; (h) any other instrument of export-financing; 3. ‘freezing of funds’ means preventing any move, transfer, alteration, use of, access to, or dealing with funds in any way that would result in any change in their volume, amount, location, ownership, possession, character, destination or other change that would enable the funds to be used, including portfolio management; 4. ‘economic resources’ means assets of every kind, whether tangible or intangible, movable or immovable, which are not funds but can be used to obtain funds, goods or services; 5. ‘freezing of economic resource’ means preventing their use to obtain funds, goods or services in any way, including, but not limited to, the selling, hiring or mortgaging of them. 1.

The target price for white sugar shall be ECU 66,50 per 100 kilogrammes. 2. The intervention price for white sugar shall be ECU 63,19 per 100 kilogrammes for the non-deficit areas of the Community. The basic price applicable in the Community for beet shall be ECU 47,67 per tonne delivered at the collection centre. Standard quality beet shall: (a) be of sound, genuine and merchantable quality; (b) have a sugar content of 16 % at the reception point. This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities. It shall be applicable for the 1996/97 marketing year.

On 2 February 2009 Swaziland requested in accordance with Article 36 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 a new derogation from the rules of origin set out in that Annex. According to the information received from Swaziland, it is still unable to satisfy the rules on cumulation of origin laid down in Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 since it needs to source non-originating poly fibres in South Africa for the manufacture of the final product. Hence, the final product does not comply with the rules laid down in that Annex. Given that Swaziland needs more time to prepare itself to comply with the rules of origin, a new derogation should be granted with effect from 1 January 2009. (2) Decision 2008/820/EC applied until 31 December 2008 because it was expected that the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement with the SADC EPA region would enter into force or would be provisionally applied before that date. (3) In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1528/2007 the rules of origin set out in Annex II to that Regulation and the derogations to them are to be superseded by the rules of the SADC-EU Interim Partnership Agreement of which the entry into force or the provisional application is now foreseen to take place in 2009. (4) It is necessary to ensure continuity of importations from the ACP countries to the Community as well as a smooth transition to the Interim Economic Partnership Agreement. Decision 2008/820/EC should therefore be prolonged with effect from 1 January 2009. (5) Decision 2008/820/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. (6) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee, Decision 2008/820/EC is amended as follows: 1. Article 2 is replaced by the following: 2. in Article 6, the second paragraph is replaced by the following: 3. the Annex is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision.

However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.

32012R0250	Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 250/2012 of 21 March 2012 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station Text with EEA relevance	22.3.2012 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 82/3 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 250/2012 of 21 March 2012 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 imposing special conditions governing the import of feed and food originating in or consigned from Japan following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station (Text with EEA relevance) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION , Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 January 2002 laying down the general principles and requirements of food law, establishing the European Food Safety Authority and laying down procedures in matters of food safety (1), and in particular Article 53(1)(b)(ii) thereof, Whereas: (1) Article 53 of Regulation (EC) No 178/2002 provides for the possibility to adopt appropriate Union emergency measures for food and feed imported from a third country in order to protect public health, animal health or the environment, where the risk cannot be contained satisfactorily by means of measures taken by the Member States individually. (2) Following the accident at the Fukushima nuclear power station on 11 March 2011, the Commission was informed that radionuclide levels in certain food products originating in Japan exceeded the action levels in food applicable in Japan. Such contamination may constitute a threat to public and animal health in the Union and therefore Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 (2) was adopted. (3) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 provides that consignments of products covered by that Regulation are to be accompanied by a declaration signed by an authorised representative of the competent authority of Japan and attesting, inter alia, where the consignment originates in and where it is consigned from. The content of that declaration further differs depending on whether the products originate in or are consigned from a prefecture close to the Fukushima nuclear power station or not. (4) For consignments originating in the Fukushima prefecture and in the 10 prefectures close to it, the Japanese authorities are required to certify that they do not contain levels of radionuclides caesium-134 and caesium-137 above the maximum levels set out in Annex II to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011. In addition, the competent authorities of the border inspection post or designated point of entry into the Union are to carry out identity and physical checks, including laboratory analysis on the presence of caesium-134 and caesium-137, on at least 10 % of such consignments. (5) For consignments consigned from the Fukushima prefecture and from the 10 prefectures close to it, the Japanese authorities are required to certify that they had not been exposed to radioactivity during transit. In such cases, as well as in cases where the consignments originate and are consigned from other prefectures in Japan than Fukushima and its surrounding 10 prefectures, the competent authorities of the border inspection post or designated point of entry into the Union are to carry out identity and physical checks, including laboratory analysis on the presence of caesium-134 and caesium-137, on at least 20 % of such consignments. (6) The results of the checks, including laboratory analysis, carried out pursuant to Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 by the competent authorities of the border inspection post or designated point of entry into the Union indicate that the control measures on feed and food intended for export to the Union are correctly and efficiently applied by the Japanese authorities. It is therefore appropriate to reduce the frequency of checks carried out on such consignments by the competent authorities of the border inspection post or designated point of entry into the Union. (7) In addition, Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 is to apply until 31 March 2012. The Japanese competent authorities continue to monitor the presence of radioactivity in feed and food. The results of that monitoring show that certain feed and food in prefectures close to the Fukushima nuclear power station continue to contain levels of radioactivity above the action levels. It is therefore appropriate to extend the date of application of the measures laid down in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011. (8) Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly. (9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, Amending provisions Implementing Regulation (EU) No 961/2011 is amended as follows: (1) in Article 5(1), point (b) is replaced by the following: ‘(b) identity and physical checks, including laboratory analysis on the presence of caesium-134 and caesium-137, on at least: — 5 % of the consignments of products referred to in Article 2(3)(d), and — 10 % of the consignments of products referred to in Article 2(3)(b) and (c).’; (2) in Article 10, the second paragraph, the date ‘31 March 2012’ is replaced by ‘31 October 2012’. Entry into force This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

32011R0205	Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 205/2011 of 28 February 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India	3.3.2011 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 58/14 COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 205/2011 of 28 February 2011 amending Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION , Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic anti-dumping Regulation’), and in particular Article 9(4) and Article 11(3), (5) and (6) thereof, Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (‘the Commission’) after consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROCEDURE 1. Previous investigation and existing anti-dumping measures (1) In August 2001, by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating, inter alia, in India. The measures consisted of an ad valorem anti-dumping duty ranging between 0 % and 62,6 % imposed on imports from individually named exporting producers, with a residual duty rate of 53,3 % on imports from all other companies. (2) In March 2006, by Regulation (EC) No 366/2006 (3), the Council amended the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001. The anti-dumping duty imposed ranged between 0 % and 18 %, taking into account the findings of the expiry review of the definitive countervailing duties which are detailed in Regulation (EC) No 367/2006 (4). (3) In August 2006, by Regulation (EC) No 1288/2006 (5), the Council, following an interim review concerning the subsidisation of an Indian PET film producer, amended the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on that producer by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001. (4) In September 2006, by Regulation (EC) No 1424/2006 (6), the Council, following a new exporting producer request, amended Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 in respect of an Indian PET film producer. The amended Regulation established a dumping margin of 15,5 % and an anti-dumping duty rate of 3,5 % for the company concerned taking into account the company’s export subsidy margin as ascertained in the anti-subsidy investigation which led to the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 367/2006. Since the company did not have an individual countervailing duty, the rate established for all other companies was applied. (5) In November 2007, by Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 (7), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of PET film originating in India following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation. By the same Regulation a partial interim review, pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, limited to one Indian exporting producer was terminated. (6) In January 2009, by Regulation (EC) No 15/2009 (8), the Council, following a partial interim review initiated by the Commission on its own initiative concerning the subsidisation of five Indian PET film producers, amended the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on these companies by Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 and the definitive countervailing duties imposed by Regulation (EC) No 367/2006. (7) Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 also maintained the extension of the measures to Brazil and Israel with certain companies being exempted. The last amendment to Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 in this regard was made by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 806/2010 of 13 September 2010 amending Regulations (EC) No 1292/2007 and (EC) No 367/2006 as regards the granting of an exemption from the measures imposed under those Regulations to one Israeli exporter of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India and terminating the registration of imports from that exporter (9). (8) It should be noted that Vacmet India Limited is subject to a residual anti-dumping duty of 17,3 % on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007. 2. Existing countervailing measures (9) It should also be noted that Vacmet India Limited is subject to a countervailing duty of 19,1 % on the basis of Regulation (EC) No 367/2006. 3. Request for a partial interim review (10) On 7 August 2009, the Commission received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The request, limited in scope to the examination of dumping, was lodged by Vacmet India Limited, an exporting producer from India (‘the applicant’). In its request, the applicant claimed that the circumstances on the basis of which measures were imposed have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature. The applicant provided prima facie evidence that the continued imposition of the measure at its current level is no longer necessary to offset dumping. 4. Initiation of a review (11) Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission announced on 14 January 2010, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (10) (‘notice of initiation’), the initiation of a partial interim review, in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping in respect of the applicant. (12) The partial interim review investigation was also to assess the need, depending on the review findings, to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from exporting producers in the country concerned not individually mentioned in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007, i.e. the anti-dumping duty rate as applying to ‘all other companies’ in India. (13) On 14 January 2010, the Commission also announced, by a notice of initiation published in the Official Journal of the European Union (11), the initiation of a partial interim review of the countervailing measures limited in scope to the examination of subsidisation as far as the applicant is concerned. 5. Investigation (14) The investigation of the level of dumping covered the period from 1 January to 31 December 2009 (‘review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’). (15) The Commission officially informed the applicant, and the authorities of the exporting country and the Union industry, of the initiation of the partial interim review investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to be heard. (16) In order to obtain the information necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant and received a reply within the deadline set for that purpose. (17) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the determination of dumping. A verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant. B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT 1. Product concerned (18) The product concerned by this review is the same as that defined in the Regulation imposing the measures in force (Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007), namely polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film, originating in India, currently falling within CN codes ex 3920 62 19 and ex 3920 62 90. 2. Like product (19) As in previous investigations, this investigation has shown that PET film produced in India and exported to the EU and the PET film produced and sold domestically on the Indian market, as well as the PET film produced and sold in the EU by the Union producers have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and the same basic uses. (20) These products are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation. C. DUMPING (a) Normal Value (21) In order to establish normal value, it was first determined whether the total volume of domestic sales of the like product was representative in accordance of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, namely whether these sales represented 5 % of the sales volume of the product concerned exported to the EU. The Commission established that the like product was sold domestically by the applicant in overall representative volumes. This representativity test was then carried out on a type-by-type basis. It was found that two types were not sold domestically at all. (22) The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of the like product could be regarded as being sold in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. This was done by establishing, for the like product sold on the Indian market, the proportion of profitable domestic sales to independent customers during the RIP. It was found that more than 90 % of the domestic sales were profitable. (23) For the product types sold domestically and which passed the representativity test mentioned in recital 21 above, it was established that for one product type, all domestic transactions were not profitable and thus were not made in the ordinary course of trade in accordance with Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation. (24) For the product types which were sold in sufficient quantities and sold in the ordinary course of trade in India, normal value was established on the basis of prices paid or payable by unrelated customers pursuant to Article 2(1) of the basic Regulation. For the other types, namely the type mentioned in recital 23 above and the types not sold domestically, normal value was constructed on the basis of the costs of manufacturing incurred by the applicant for the exported model in question plus a reasonable amount for sales, general and administrative (SG&A) costs and for profit in accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation. (25) Given the high level of profitable domestic sales made in the ordinary course of trade, the SG&A costs and the profit were based on all domestic sales of the like product on the domestic market. (b) Export price (26) In all cases where PET film was directly exported to independent customers in the EU, the export prices were established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, namely on the basis of prices actually paid or payable. (27) For the export sales to the EU made through a related company, the export price was established on the basis of prices at which the imported products were first resold to an independent buyer in accordance with Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation. (28) For this purpose, adjustments were made for all costs incurred between importation and resale to the first independent customer in the Union market. A reasonable margin for SG&A costs and profit was also deducted for these sales. The percentages used to calculate the profit and the SG&A costs were in line with those reported in the Profit and Loss account of the related company. (c) Comparison (29) The comparison between the weighted average normal value and the weighted average export price was made on an ex-works basis and at the same level of trade. In order to ensure a fair comparison between normal value and the export price, account was taken, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, of differences in factors which were demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability. For this purpose, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences in transport, insurance, handling, loading and ancillary costs, commissions, financial costs and packing costs paid by the applicant where applicable and justified. (d) Dumping margin (30) As provided for pursuant to Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value by type was compared with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned. This comparison did not show the existence of dumping. D. LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES (31) In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances alleged by the applicant could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature. (32) The investigation showed that the indicative dumping margin calculated for the export sales of the applicant to third countries in the RIP was also negative. In terms of volume, these sales were several times higher than the export sales to the EU. (33) It was also found that the applicant made significant investments as from 2007 to improve its production process and to produce the basic raw material which is necessary for the production of the product concerned. These changes have resulted in, in particular, a reduction of costs and have thus explained the direct impact on the Company dumping margin. This change in circumstances can be considered to be of a lasting nature. (34) It was therefore considered that the circumstances that led to the initiation of this interim review are unlikely to change in the foreseeable future in a manner that would affect the findings of the present interim review. Hence, it was concluded that the changed circumstances are of a lasting nature and that the application of the anti-dumping measure at its current level is no longer justified. E. ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES (35) In the light of the results of this review investigation, it is considered appropriate to amend the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of the product concerned from the applicant to 0 %. (36) Pursuant to Article 14(1) of the basic Regulation and Article 24(1), second subparagraph, of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (12), no product shall be subject to both anti-dumping and countervailing duties for the purpose of dealing with one and the same situation arising from dumping or from export subsidisation. As mentioned in recital 9 above, the applicant is subject to a countervailing duty. Since the anti-dumping duty established for the applicant is 0 % with regard to the product concerned, this situation does not arise in the present case. (37) Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to propose to amend the duty rate applicable to the applicant and were given an opportunity to comment. (38) The oral and written comments submitted by the parties were considered and, where appropriate, the definitive findings have been modified accordingly, The table in Article 2(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1292/2007 is hereby amended by inserting the following: ‘Vacmet India Limited, Anant Plaza, IInd Floor, 4/117-2A, Civil Lines, Church Road, Agra-282002, Uttar Pradesh, India 0,0 A992’ This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

31997D0798	97/798/EC: Commission Decision of 10 November 1997 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as DRAMS (dynamic random access memories) originating in Japan	COMMISSION DECISION of 10 November 1997 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain types of electronic microcircuits known as DRAMS (dynamic random access memories) originating in Japan (97/798/EC) THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2331/96 (2), and in particular Article 9 (2) thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE (1) By Regulation (EEC) No 165/90 (3), the Commission accepted undertakings from all known Japanese DRAM producers which exported this product to the Community. The Council, by Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 (4), imposed a residual duty on imports of DRAMs originating in Japan in order to bring non-cooperating parties within the scope of the measures against the dumping of DRAMs and to underpin the undertakings. (2) In June 1995, the Commission decided to suspend the above anti-dumping measures for a period of nine months (5). In March 1996 the suspension was extended by the Council for a further period of 12 months (6). B. REVIEW INVESTIGATION (3) In July 1995, the Commission initiated on its own initiative an interim review of the measures concerning imports of DRAMs originating in Japan, (together with a review of the similar measures relating to the Republic of Korea), pursuant to Article 11 (3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 (hereinafter referred to as the 'basic Regulation`). Since the review with regard to Japan was initiated at the end of the period of application of the measures, the review also covered the circumstances of an expiry review, in accordance with Article 11 (7) of the basic Regulation (7). C. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION (4) The product concerned by this investigation is dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), whether in processed wafer form or dice form, assembled or further processed onto modules, manufactured using variations of Metal Oxide Semiconductor (MOS) process technology, including CMOS and BiCMOS etc., and including, without limitation, product variations using DRAM technology such as VRAMs, Pseudo SRAMs, S-DRAMs (synchronous DRAMs), MDRAMs (multibank DRAMs), R-DRAMs (RAMBUS-DRAMs), of all densities (including future densities), irrespective of access speed, configuration, frame or package, etc. (5) The product is currently classifiable within the following CN codes: 8542 13 11, 8542 13 13, 8542 13 15, 8542 13 17, 8542 19 01, 8542 19 05 (for finished DRAMs), 8542 13 01 (for DRAM wafers), 8542 13 05 (for DRAM dice or chips), 8548 90 00, 8473 30 10 and 8473 50 10 (for DRAM modules, DRAM boards and DRAM cards). D. DEFINITION OF THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY (6) The Community industry concerned by this review consists of Motorola Ltd (United Kingdom); Siemens (Germany) and Texas Instruments Italia (Italy). All of them cooperated in this investigation and are members of the European Electronic Component Manufacturers' Association (EECA), which lodged the original complaint. (7) The collective output of the abovementioned Community industry constitutes a major proportion of the total Community production of DRAMs in accordance with Article 4 (1) of the basic Regulation. E. WITHDRAWAL OF SUPPORT FOR THE PROCEEDING (8) In July 1997, the Community industry withdrew its support for the continuation of the existing anti-dumping measures, (both with respect to imports from Japan and from Korea). The complainant considered it appropriate to take this step in view of the envisaged negotiation of voluntary industry-to-industry agreements between the complainant Community industry and the Japanese and Korean associations of DRAM producers, the aim of which is to prevent the future occurrence of injurious dumping and to ensure that, should any anti-dumping investigation be initiated, it may be carried out expeditiously. The Community industry has committed itself to notify the agreements, if any, to the Commission under the competition rules. F. TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING (9) In accordance with Article 9 (1) of the basic Regulation, when the Community industry withdraws its support for the continuation of anti-dumping measures, the proceeding must be terminated, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest. The investigation has not brought to light any considerations of Community interest which would support the continuation of the proceeding in these circumstances. (10) In view of the above, the Commission informed the interested parties of its intention to terminate the proceeding following the withdrawal of support. No further arguments were raised concerning the Community interest aspects. (11) However, several Community users of DRAMs have requested that the proceeding be terminated retroactively as from 10 March 1997, i.e. the date on which the anti-dumping duty was reinstated after expiry of the suspension of the measures. As a consequence, anti-dumping duties paid after this date should be reimbursed. (12) The users have argued that, following the reinstatement of the anti-dumping duties in March 1997, they could not always avoid paying anti-dumping duty by purchasing DRAMs through sales channels covered by the undertakings. These parties have further claimed that, due to the reference price system of the price undertakings, (which were likewise reinstated in March 1997), they had to pay higher prices for DRAMs purchased in the Community than competitors in the rest of the world. The users concerned have claimed that these circumstances have had a negative impact on their competitiveness. (13) The users also referred to the disclosure of the preliminary findings of the Commission's services. They noted that it had been envisaged by the Commission's services that, as regards Japan, a lower residual duty should be imposed with retroactive effect from 10 March 1997, the date of the reinstatement of the anti-dumping measures. Had the investigation been concluded in this way, the difference between the initial and the final duty rate would have been refunded to importers which would have paid anti-dumping duty. The users have argued that, if retroactivity was considered justified on the hypothesis that the measures would be reimposed, then retroactivity would, a fortiori, be justified where the investigation was being concluded by the termination of the proceeding. (14) With regard to the abovementioned request, the Commission considers that, as the basic Regulation does not provide for the retroactive termination of proceedings, this request could only be accepted if justified by general principles of Community law. However, none of these principles apply in the current case. (15) In one anti-dumping proceeding, the review was terminated retroactively on the grounds that the anti-dumping measures had been prolonged by more than three years due to the long duration of the review investigation (8). However, the facts of this case are not comparable, since the anti-dumping measures in the current proceeding were suspended between June 1995 and March 1997, i.e. for all but a few months of the period by which the measures were prolonged by the review. The Community user industry, which had requested and has benefited from this suspension, thus cannot be considered to have been unduly burdened by this review investigation. (16) As regards the argument raised by the users in respect of imports through sales channels subject to the residual duties, such difficulties are inherent to the structure of the measures, and cannot be considered as justifying a retroactive termination. (17) Moreover, it cannot be accepted that the users were unduly burdened if, as claimed, they had to purchase Japanese and Korean DRAMs at prices above the prices outside the Community, due to the reference price system. The reference prices, which were continuously amended to reflect changes in normal value, ensured only that imports covered by the undertakings were not made at dumped prices, and sales in third markets at prices below the reference prices can therefore be assumed to have been dumped. The fact that dumping in third countries has enabled users in those countries to enjoy a competitive advantage over users in the Community is not considered a relevant argument for the retroactive repeal of the residual duties. (18) Furthermore, it is considered that the users' request cannot be based on the fact that the Commission had, in disclosing its provisional findings in the investigation, indicated that, in the event of a final determination that the likelihood of a recurrence of dumping and injury justified the reimposition of measures, the amended anti-dumping duty for Japan could be imposed retroactively. The provisional character of these indications was understood by all interested parties, so that legitimate expectations could not arise on these grounds. (19) In addition, retroactive termination, giving rise to the reimbursement of anti-dumping duties paid as from 10 March 1997, would discriminate against those exporters which adhered to the reference prices set under the undertakings, and against those importers who have purchased at these prices. This would be the case in particular, if, as the users have submitted, the prices in the Community had been higher than the world market prices, due to the reference price system. (20) Finally, it should be noted that any anti-dumping duty paid may always be reimbursed through a request for a refund, pursuant to Article 11 (8) of the basic Regulation. (21) In the light of the above, the request for the retroactive termination of the proceeding is rejected. (22) After having considered all the various interests involved taken as a whole, it was concluded that the proceeding should be terminated. The anti-dumping duties on DRAMs from Japan will consequently expire. The termination of the proceeding also releases the Japanese exporters from the undertakings accepted by Regulation (EEC) No 165/90 and Commission Decision 92/494/EEC (9). The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of dynamic random access memories (DRAMs), falling within CN codes - 8542 13 11, 8542 13 13, 8542 13 15, 8542 13 17, 8542 19 01, 8542 19 05 (for finished DRAMs), 8542 13 01 (for DRAM wafers), - 8542 13 05 (for DRAM dice or chips), - 8548 90 00, 8473 30 10 and 8473 50 10 (for DRAM modules, DRAM boards and DRAM cards), originating in Japan is hereby terminated.

(2) On 1 October 2004 the competent food assessment body of Germany issued its initial assessment report. In that report it came to the conclusion that the proposed uses for isomaltulose are safe for human consumption. (3) The Commission forwarded the initial assessment report to all Member States on 30 November 2004. (4) Within the 60-day period laid down in Article 6(4) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97 reasoned objections to the marketing of the product were raised in accordance with that provision. The objections/comments were discussed with Member States at the meeting of the Standing Committee on 14 February 2005 in connection with the first request for the placing on the Community market of isomaltulose submitted by Cargill. (5) As regards the nutrition information included in the labelling and advertising of foods containing isomaltulose, Council Directive 90/496/EEC of 24 September 1990 on nutrition labelling for foodstuffs (2) applies. (6) On the basis of the initial assessment report, it is established that isomaltulose complies with the criteria laid down in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No 258/97. (7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, Isomaltulose as specified in the Annex, may be placed on the market in the Community as a novel food or novel food ingredient for use in foodstuffs. The designation ‘isomaltulose’ shall be displayed on the labelling of the product as such or in the list of ingredients of foodstuffs containing it. In a prominently displayed footnote related to the designation isomaltulose by means of an asterisk (*) the words ‘isomaltulose is a source of glucose and fructose’ shall be displayed. The words shall have a typeface of at least the same size as the list of ingredients itself.

(2) At the time of adoption of Decision 2003/804/EC, no third countries could be listed in Annex I to the Decision. (3) Since the entering into force of Directive 91/67/EEC, the animal health requirements for import of aquaculture animals into the Community from third countries have been unchanged. Pending the establishment of harmonised certification requirements, the Member States have been responsible for ensuring that imports of aquaculture animals and products thereof from third countries be subjected to conditions at least equivalent to those applying to placing on the market of Community products according to Article 20(3) of Directive 91/67/EEC. (4) There is therefore an ongoing trade in live bivalve molluscs for the purpose of human consumption between certain third countries and certain Member States. This trade would be blocked from 1 May 2004, when Decision 2003/804/EC will be implemented. (5) In order not to interrupt, unnecessarily, ongoing trade from third countries that Member States have found to comply with conditions at least equivalent to those applicable for placing on the market within the Community, certain third countries should be included in Annex I to this Decision for a interim period of time, pending the completion of the on-the-spot inspections provided for by Community rules. (6) Such temporary listing should be limited to imports of live bivalve molluscs for the purpose of human consumption only, from areas authorised according to Council Directive 91/492/EEC(3). (7) The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, Annex I to Decision 2003/804/EC is replaced by the Annex to this Decision.

(2) Article 19(1) of that Directive provides that the Commission is to draw up a list of plant products which will be subjected to border veterinary checks and a list of the third countries which may be authorised to export those plant products to the Union. (3) Accordingly Annex IV to Commission Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 (2) lists hay and straw as plant products subject to border veterinary checks while Part I of Annex V to that Regulation lists the countries from which Member States are authorised to import hay and straw. (4) Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 was adopted before the entry into force of the 2003 Treaty of Accession. Part II of Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 contains a list of acceding States which was relevant until 30 April 2004. It is therefore no longer necessary to maintain neither Part II of Annex V nor the separation of Annex V in two parts. (5) For the sake of clarity, the country ISO codes should be added in Annex V. (6) Serbia has recently requested the authorisation to export hay and straw to the Union. (7) Commission Regulation (EU) No 206/2010 (3) lists Serbia as a country from which consignments of fresh meat of bovine, ovine and caprine animals and of domestic solipeds may be imported into the Union. (8) Although live ungulates from Serbia are not allowed to be introduced into the Union, hay and straw can be allowed for introduction, as the animal health situation in Serbia does not present a risk of spreading infectious or contagious animal diseases through these plant products, which might have been in contact with live animals. (9) Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 should therefore be amended accordingly. (10) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Food Chain and Animal Health, Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 136/2004 is replaced by the Annex to this Regulation. This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(2) In accordance with paragraph 10 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, in 2010 it has been established that the cumulated GDP for the years 2007 to 2009 in the Czech Republic, in Poland and in Slovakia has each diverged by more than ± 5 % from the cumulated GDP estimated in accordance with paragraph 9 of Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 1083/2006, including as a consequence of exchange rate changes. The amounts allocated for the period 2011 to 2013 to the Czech Republic and Slovakia should therefore be adjusted accordingly. (3) In accordance with points 16 and 17 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (3) on 16 April 2010 the Commission adopted the Communication on the technical adjustment of the financial framework for 2011 in line with movements in GNI, including the adjustment of amounts allocated from funds supporting cohesion to the Member States concerned by divergence between estimated and actual GDP for the period 2007-2009 (4), by which it informed that a positive adjustment is necessary for the Czech Republic of EUR 237 045 801 and for Slovakia of EUR 137 711 534, to be shared in equal amounts in 2011, 2012 and 2013. (4) In order to establish the amounts allocated to the Member States concerned, it is necessary to take into account the pro-rata allocation between the Convergence and Regional competitiveness and employment objectives in the current programming period 2007-2013 for each of the Member States concerned and the need to make the most efficient use of the allocation of the funds to projects currently being implemented. Therefore, this Decision should allocate only the part of the overall positive adjustments concerning the Regional competitiveness and employment objective. (5) Decision 2006/593/EC should therefore be amended accordingly, Annex I to Decision 2006/593/EC is replaced by the text set out in the Annex to this Decision. This Decision is addressed to the Member States.	0	0	0	0	1	0	0	0	0	0	0	0
32001R1846	Commission Regulation (EC) No 1846/2001 of 20 September 2001 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state	Commission Regulation (EC) No 1846/2001 of 20 September 2001 fixing the export refunds on white sugar and raw sugar exported in its unaltered state THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 of 19 June 2001 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector(1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 27(5) thereof, Whereas: (1) Article 27 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund. (2) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 provides that when refunds on white and raw sugar, undenatured and exported in its unaltered state, are being fixed account must be taken of the situation on the Community and world markets in sugar and in particular of the price and cost factors set out in Article 28 of that Regulation. The same Article provides that the economic aspect of the proposed exports should also be taken into account. (3) The refund on raw sugar must be fixed in respect of the standard quality. The latter is defined in Annex I, point II, to Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Furthermore, this refund should be fixed in accordance with Article 28(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001. Candy sugar is defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 2135/95 of 7 September 1995 laying down detailed rules of application for the grant of export refunds in the sugar sector(2). The refund thus calculated for sugar containing added flavouring or colouring matter must apply to their sucrose content and, accordingly, be fixed per 1 % of the said content. (4) The world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund for sugar according to destination. (5) In special cases, the amount of the refund may be fixed by other legal instruments. (6) The refund must be fixed every two weeks. It may be altered in the intervening period. (7) It follows from applying the rules set out above to the present situation on the market in sugar and in particular to quotations or prices for sugar within the Community and on the world market that the refund should be as set out in the Annex hereto. (8) Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001 does not make provision to continue the compensation system for storage costs from 1 July 2001. This should accordingly be taken into account when fixing the refunds granted when the export occurs after 30 September 2001. (9) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar, The export refunds on the products listed in Article 1(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001, undenatured and exported in the natural state, are hereby fixed to the amounts shown in the Annex hereto. Where an export licence for which the refund amount was fixed in accordance with the first paragraph is used after 30 September 2001, the refund in question shall be reduced by EUR 2/100 kg net white sugar equivalent.

It also provides for certain zones to be recognised as protected zones. (2) From information supplied by Member States, it has been determined that only certain plants for planting of Dendranthema (DC.) Des Moul, Dianthus L., Pelargonium l'Hérit. ex Ait. and Solanaceae present a risk of spreading of Heliothis armigera (Hübner). Since the risk of spreading of that organism is limited to those plants, that organism should be deleted from Annex I to Directive 2000/29/EC, which imposes a general ban, and included instead in Annex II to that Directive, which imposes a ban only with respect to specific plants presenting a risk. Furthermore, the name of Heliothis armigera (Hübner) should be changed to Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner), in line with its recent revised scientific denomination. (3) From information supplied by Member States, it has become apparent that Colletotrichum acutatum (Simmonds) is widespread within the Community. Therefore, that organism should no longer be listed as a harmful organism under Directive 2000/29/EC and no further protective measures under that Directive should be taken with respect to that organism. Annex II to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. (4) From information supplied by Portugal, it appears that Citrus tristeza virus (European isolates) is now established in Madeira. This part of the Portuguese territory should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism and Annexes II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. (5) From information supplied by Spain, it appears that Thaumetopoea pityocampa (Den. and Schiff.) is now established in Ibiza. This part of the Spanish territory should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of that harmful organism and Annexes II and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. (6) From information supplied by Slovenia, it appears that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is now established in the Koroška and Notranjska regions. These regions should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. and Annexes II, III and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. (7) Information supplied by Italy shows that Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. is now established in some parts of its regions of Emilia-Romagna, Lombardy and Veneto. Those parts of the Italian territory should therefore no longer be recognised as a protected zone in respect of Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. and Annexes II, III and IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. (8) From the Swiss legislation on plant protection, it appears that the Cantons of Berne and Grisons are no longer recognised as a protected zone for Erwinia amylovora (Burr.) Winsl. et al. in Switzerland. The derogation allowing certain imports from those regions into certain protected zones under special requirements should therefore be deleted and Part B of Annex IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should be amended accordingly. (9) Annexes I to IV to Directive 2000/29/EC should therefore be amended accordingly. (10) The measures provided for in this Directive are in accordance with the opinion of the Standing Committee on Plant Health, Annexes I to IV to Directive 2000/29/EC are amended in accordance with the Annex to this Directive. 1. Member States shall adopt and publish, by 31 August 2008 at the latest, the laws, regulations and administrative provisions necessary to comply with this Directive.

32013D0423	2013/423/EU: Commission Decision of 2 August 2013 accepting an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China	3.8.2013 EN Official Journal of the European Union L 209/26 COMMISSION DECISION of 2 August 2013 accepting an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China (2013/423/EU) THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION , Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 7, 8 and 9 thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROCEDURE (1) By Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 (2), the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China (PRC). B. UNDERTAKING 1. Undertaking offer (2) Subsequent to the adoption of the provisional anti-dumping measures, a group of cooperating exporting producers, including their related companies in the PRC and in the European Union, and together with the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (hereinafter: ‘CCCME’) offered a joint price undertaking in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation. The undertaking offer was also supported by the Chinese authorities. 2. Evaluation of undertaking offer (3) The undertaking offer has been examined against the background of changed market circumstances between the moment of the submission of the undertaking offer and the investigation period in the investigation that led to the imposition of provisional measures. Observed changes relate to a drop of both price levels and consumption on the Union market and are linked to several factors established and analysed in the investigation that led to the imposition of provisional measures. (4) Changes in price levels can sometimes be addressed in an undertaking by an indexation method which links minimum import prices to prices of raw materials as quoted in recognized and publicly available sources. However, no correlation between prices of raw materials and those of final products that would allow for a reliable indexation method could be established in the present case. In order to address an established change in price levels, an alternative method had to be established and price reports by representative and publicly available databases (Bloomberg (3) and pvXchange (4)) specialised in the sector concerned have been used as a reference. (5) In order to ensure that the undertaking is practicable, the Chinese exporters presented a joint undertaking offer with one minimum import price for photovoltaic modules and one for each of their key components (i.e. cells and wafers). (6) Further, in order to reduce the risk of company channelling, and make it feasible and practical to monitor the number of participating exporters, the Chinese exporters offered to ensure that the volume of imports made under the undertaking would be at annual levels corresponding roughly to their current market performance. (7) The exporters have offered a price undertaking. In order to assess whether that price undertaking removes the injurious effect of dumping, the Commission has analysed, inter alia, the current export prices and the level of provisional duty. On that basis, it was concluded that the price undertaking removes the injurious effect of dumping. (8) The elimination of the injurious effect of dumping is therefore achieved by a price undertaking covering imports within an associated annual level and in addition an ad valorem provisional duty levied on imports above the annual level as referred to in recital 6 above. (9) The CCCME will also provide the Commission with regular and detailed information concerning the sales to the Union of the companies presenting the joint undertaking offer, allowing for the undertaking to be monitored effectively by the Commission. With a view to CCCME’s active role, the support given by the Chinese authorities and the safety net in the form of annual level referred to in recital 6, the Commission considers the risk of circumvention limited and outweighed by considerations linked to the need to ensure security of supplies on the Union market. C. COMMENT OF PARTIES AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE UNDERTAKING 1. Comments of parties (10) The undertaking offer has been made available to interested parties. No comments against its acceptance have been received so far. (11) In the view of the above, the undertaking offered by the exporting producers is acceptable. The companies concerned and the CCCME have been informed of the essential facts, considerations and obligations upon which the acceptance is based. (12) Further, to enable the Commission to monitor effectively compliance with the undertaking, when the request for release for free circulation is presented to the relevant customs authority, exemption from the anti-dumping duty will be conditional on: (a) the presentation of a commercial invoice by the company listed in the Annex to this Decision and a certificate issued by the CCCME containing at least the elements listed in Annex II and Annex III of Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 respectively; (b) the fact that the imported goods are manufactured, shipped and invoiced directly by the companies listed in the Annex to this Decision either to their related companies in the Union acting as an importer and clearing the goods for free circulation in the Union as mentioned in the Annex to this Decision or to the first independent customer acting as an importer and clearing the goods for free circulation in the Union; (c) the fact that the goods declared and presented to customs correspond precisely to the description of the commercial invoice. (13) Where no such invoice and certificate are presented or when they do not correspond to the product presented to customs or a commercial invoice containing at least the elements of Annex IV of Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 is presented, the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty shall instead be payable. (14) Whenever, pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation, the Commission withdraws its acceptance of an undertaking following a breach by referring to particular transactions and declares the relevant undertaking invoices to be invalid, a customs debt shall be incurred at the time of acceptance of the declaration for release into free circulation. (15) Importers should be aware that a customs debt may be incurred, as a normal trade risk, at the time of acceptance of the declaration for release into free circulation as described in recitals 11 and 12 even if an undertaking offered by the manufacturer from whom they were buying, directly or indirectly, had been accepted by the Commission. (16) Pursuant to Article 14(7) of the basic Regulation, customs authorities should inform the Commission immediately whenever indications of a violation of the undertaking are found. (17) In the event of a breach or withdrawal of the undertaking or in case of withdrawal of acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission, the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed in accordance with Article 7 of the basic Regulation shall automatically apply by means of Article 8(9) of the basic Regulation. The undertaking offered by the exporting producers listed in the Annex of this Decision together with the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME), in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China, is hereby accepted.

Private storage, within the meaning of Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, is the holding in a storage depot at their own risk and expense by natural or legal persons established in the Community, other than the intervention agencies referred to in that Article, of products covered by the market in beef and veal and listed in that Article. 2. Private storage aid may only be granted in respect of products derived from bovine animals originating in the Community, which are stored as one of the cuts listed in Section (c) of the Annex to Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 under conditions to be determined. 3.

Unless specially authorised, a request for private storage aid may only be made in the country where the product is to be stored. If the market situation so requires, the period of storage specified in the contract may be curtailed or extended under conditions to be determined. 1. The amount of aid shall be either: - determined by means of an invitation to tender published in the Official Journal of the European Communities ; or - fixed in advance ; in this case the entitlement under Article 14 (3) (b) (aa) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68 may be substituted wholly or partially for the aid. 2. Equal treatment shall be given to applicants as to the admissibility of their offer, irrespective of the place of their establishment within the Community. 1OJ No L 148, 28.6.1968, p. 24. Only applicants who have given security for fulfilment of their contract obligations by lodging a deposit, which shall be forfeited in whole or in part if these are not fulfilled or are only partially fulfilled, shall be permitted to tender and to conclude such contracts. The time limit for entry of products into store and the duration of storage shall be specified. The amount of the aid may not normally exceed the amount of the costs which would be incurred if storage were effected by an intervention agency. 1. In the selection of tenders preference shall be given to those which are most favourable to the Community. 2. In any case the award of a contract shall not necessarily ensue. Where the amount of aid is fixed in advance: (a) there shall be a single rate for each product taking into account storage costs, normal depreciation of quality, the entitlement under Article 14 (3) (b) (aa) of Regulation (EEC) No 805/68, if appropriate, and, so far as possible, any foreseeable increase in the price of the product in question; (b) requests for aid shall be granted under conditions to be determined, in particular as regards the time that may elapse between the submission of the request and the conclusion of the contract; (c) the conclusion of storage contracts may be suspended or the terms of future contracts may be resived, if a summary review of the market situation, of the quantities covered by contracts and of applications for contracts shows either of these measures to be necessary.

whereas the renewal of autonomous trade preferences is linked to respect for fundamental principles of democracy and human rights and to the readiness of the countries concerned to allow the development of economic relations between themselves; whereas it is, therefore, appropriate to monitor the compliance by Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia and the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia with these conditions; whereas the Council adopted conclusions on 9 November 1998 on progress in these countries in respect of these conditions; Whereas there has been some progress in Bosnia and Herzegovina and Croatia in strengthening democracy and human rights and in developing relations with their neighbours; whereas it is therefore appropriate for these countries to continue to be included in the autonomous trade regime for 1999; Whereas when the autonomous trade preferences were extended to the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia on 29 April 1997, the Council issued a declaration setting out its expectations in terms of democratisation, in particular the full and speedy implementation of the 'Gonzalez` report; whereas it also noted that in the absence of progress towards meeting these criteria, the decision granting autonomous trade preferences would be reviewed; whereas no significant progress has been made with regard to the relevant conditions, it is not appropriate at this time to include the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia in the autonomous trade regime for 1999, without prejudice to the possibility of including the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia at a later stage should conditions so permit, Regulation (EC) No 70/97 is hereby amended as follows: 1. in Article 1(3), 'section 3 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93`, shall be replaced by 'section 2 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93`;

PROCEDURE 1.1. Measures in force (1) The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 654/2008 (2) on imports of coumarin originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports of coumarin consigned from India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, whether declared as originating in India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia or not, and an undertaking accepted from one Indian producer (Atlas Fine Chemicals Pvt. Ltd) (3). 1.2. Grounds for the review (2) The Commission was informed that the sole producer of coumarin, which constituted the Union industry in the investigation which led to the imposition of the existing measures, decided to discontinue production of coumarin within the Union at the end of August 2010. 1.3. Initiation (3) Accordingly, the Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, initiated, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (4), a partial interim review limited to injury aspects of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of coumarin originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports of coumarin consigned from India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, whether declared as originating in India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia or not. (4) The Commission advised officially the Union producers and the representatives of the People’s Republic of China of the initiation of the review investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation. 1.4. Product under review (5) The product under review is coumarin, originating in the People’s Republic of China, currently falling within CN code ex 2932 21 00 (‘the product concerned’). 2. FINDINGS AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING (6) The investigation has confirmed that the only Union producer of the product concerned has permanently closed its production facility in August 2010. (7) The Commission considers that the present proceeding should be terminated since the review investigation has not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Union interest. (8) The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of the the product concerned into the Union should be terminated, The anti-dumping measures concerning imports of coumarin currently falling within CN code ex 2932 21 00 and originating in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports consigned from India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, whether declared as originating in India, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia or not, are hereby repealed and the proceeding concerning these imports is terminated.
