COMMISSION OPINION

of 11 June 2012

relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from ITER (International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor), located at Cadarache, France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(Only the French text is authentic)

2012/C 166/01

The assessment below is carried out under the provisions of the Euratom Treaty, without prejudice to any additional assessments to be carried out under the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and the obligations stemming from it and from secondary legislation.

On 12 October 2011, the European Commission received from the French Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste arising from ITER.

On the basis of these data and additional information requested by the Commission on 9 January 2012 and provided by the French authorities on 31 January 2012 and on 6 March 2012, and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

| 1. | The distance from the site to the nearest Member States, in this case Italy and Spain, are 120 km and 260 km respectively. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The distance from the site to the nearest Member States, in this case Italy and Spain, are 120 km and 260 km respectively.

| 2. | Under normal operating conditions, the discharges of liquid and gaseous radioactive effluents are unlikely to cause an exposure of the population in another Member State that is significant from the point of view of health. |
| --- | --- |

3.

Solid radioactive waste is temporarily stored on site before transfer to licensed treatment or disposal facilities located in France.

| 4. | In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population in another Member State would not be significant from the point of view of health. |
| --- | --- |

4.

In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents, which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses likely to be received by the population in another Member State would not be significant from the point of view of health.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the implementation of the plan for the disposal of radioactive waste in whatever form arising from ITER located at the Cadarache site in France, is not liable to result in radioactive contamination of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State that would be significant from the point of view of health.

Done at Brussels, 11 June 2012.

Notice of initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of ironing boards originating in Ukraine

2012/C 166/03

The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of 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’).

1.   Request for review

The request for review was lodged by Eurogold Industries Ltd. (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer from Ukraine (‘the country concerned’).

The review is limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as the applicant is concerned.

2.   Product under review

The product subject to this review is ironing boards, whether or not free-standing, with or without a steam soaking and/or heating top and/or blowing top, including sleeve boards, and essential parts thereof, i.e. the legs, the top and the iron rest, originating in Ukraine, currently falling within CN codes ex 3924 90 00, ex 4421 90 98, ex 7323 93 00, ex 7323 99 00, ex 8516 79 70 and ex 8516 90 00 (‘the product under review’).

3.   Existing measure

The measure currently in force is a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2007 (2) as amended by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 580/2010 (3).

On 25 April 2012, the Commission published a notice of initiation of an expiry review of the anti-dumping duty applicable to imports of ironing boards originating, inter alia, in Ukraine (4). Pending the completion of the expiry review investigation, the measure continues to be in force.

4.   Grounds for the review

The request pursuant to Article 11(3) is based on prima facie evidence, provided by the applicant, that, as far as the applicant is concerned, and, as far as dumping is concerned, the circumstances on the basis of which the existing measure was imposed have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature.

The applicant alleges that circumstances have changed since the last investigation period and that they are of a lasting nature, since they relate to changes in the channel of sales of the product under review to the Union.

The applicant provided prima facie evidence showing that the continued imposition of the measure at its current level is no longer necessary to counteract the injurious dumping. A comparison of the applicant's export prices to the Union with a normal value established on the basis of prices paid or payable in its domestic market indicates that the dumping margin appears to be lower than the current level of the measure.

Therefore, the continued imposition of measure at the existing level, which was based on the level of dumping previously established, appears to no longer be necessary to offset dumping as previously established.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission hereby initiates a review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.

The investigation will assess the need for the continuation, removal or amendment of the existing measures in respect of the applicant in view of the applicant's changed channel of sales of the product under review to the EU.

5.1.   
  Investigating exporting producer

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send a questionnaire to the applicant, as an exporting producer. This information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

5.2.   
  Other written submissions

Subject to the provisions of this notice, all interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence. Unless otherwise specified, this information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

5.3.   
  Possibility to be heard by the Commission investigation services

All interested parties may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services. Any request to be heard should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the review investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within the specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

5.4.   
  Instructions for making written submissions and sending completed questionnaires and correspondence

All written submissions, including the information requested in this notice, completed questionnaires and correspondence provided by interested parties for which confidential treatment is requested shall be labelled ‘Limited’ (5).

Interested parties providing ‘Limited’ information are required to furnish non-confidential summaries of it pursuant to Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’. These summaries must be sufficiently detailed to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the information submitted in confidence. If an interested party providing confidential information does not furnish a non-confidential summary of it in the requested format and quality, such confidential information may be disregarded.

Interested parties are required to make all submissions and requests in electronic format (the non-confidential submissions via e-mail, the confidential ones on CD-R/DVD), and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the interested party. However, any Powers of Attorney, signed certifications, and any updates thereof, accompanying questionnaire replies shall be submitted on paper, i.e. by post or by hand, at the address below. If an interested party cannot provide its submissions and requests in electronic format, it must immediately contact the Commission in compliance with Article 18(2) of the basic Regulation. For further information concerning correspondence with the Commission, interested parties may consult the relevant web page on the website of Directorate-General for Trade: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/trade-defence

6.   Non-cooperation

In cases where any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information may be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

7.   Hearing Officer

Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of Directorate-General for Trade. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes on the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits, and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised.

A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the review investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered on issues pertaining, among others, to dumping.

For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on Trade DG's website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/tackling-unfair-trade/hearing-officer/index_en.htm

8.   Schedule of the review investigation

The review investigation will be concluded, according to Article 11(5) of the basic Regulation, within 15 months of the date of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

9.   Processing of personal data

Any personal data collected in this review investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (6).
