2.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST FOR EXPIRY REVIEW

WITHDRAWAL OF THE REQUEST FOR EXPIRY REVIEW

| (10) | By a letter addressed to the Commission, dated 9 June 2011, the applicants formally withdrew their request. In their letter the applicants argued that, in view of the volatility of the relevant economic parameters, future injurious dumping could not be excluded. Under those circumstances they consider that a surge of Chinese imports could cast the viability of the Union industry into doubt and, on this basis, the applicants consider that the Commission should actively monitor imports of the product concerned and be ready to open a new proceeding at short notice. |

Under those circumstances they consider that a surge of Chinese imports could cast the viability of the Union industry into doubt and, on this basis, the applicants consider that the Commission should actively monitor imports of the product concerned and be ready to open a new proceeding at short notice.

| (11) | The Commission acknowledges that the castings market has been subject to significant changes in the last year, in particular due to the recent economic crisis which has had a significant impact on the construction industry and resulted in cuts in public spending for infrastructure projects. This has caused a general decline in demand, including for imports of certain castings. Since it is not clear how the market will develop in the short-to-medium term, the reappearance of injurious dumping can not be entirely excluded. It is therefore considered appropriate to monitor imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic of China. The monitoring period should not exceed 24 months from the publication of the termination of the present proceeding. Furthermore, the Commission does not rule out the opening of a new investigation concerning the same product if and when evidence is provided that points to injurious dumping, in line with the requirements of the basic Regulation. |

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 873/2011

ANNEX

| Description of the goods | Classification
  (CN code) | Reasons |
| --- | --- | --- |
| (1) | (2) | (3) |
| A composite good made up of a sponge of cellular plastic (polyurethane) (11,5 cm × 8,2 cm × 1,1 cm), and a cloth of knitted polyester fabric which encloses the sponge.
  The fabric is made of textured yarn of polyesters and aluminium-covered polyester fibres (produced through a vapour metalising process) knitted together. The sponge is fully inserted into the fabric.
  (cleaning cloth)
  (See photographs No 656 A and No 656 B) (*1) | 6307 10 10 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 7(e) to Section XI, note 1 to Chapter 63 and the wording of CN codes 6307 , 6307 10 and 6307 10 10 .
  The article is a composite good within the meaning of GIR 3(b) because the sponge is attached to the cloth to form a practically inseparable whole. (See also the Harmonised System Explanatory Note (HS EN) to GIR 3(b), (IX)).
  The cloth which is a textile article is a made-up article within the meaning of note 7(e) to Section XI, because the knitted fabric is assembled by gumming. In addition, the fact that a sponge is inserted into the made-up textile article makes the whole good a made-up article. Thus, the article is covered by sub-chapter I of Chapter 63 by virtue of note 1 to Chapter 63.
  Both the knitted cloth and the sponge have the objective characteristics of articles that are designed for cleaning with water and detergents. However, the rough surface of the knitted cloth gives the article its essential character within the meaning of GIR 3(b), because due to its rough surface the article is meant to clean dried-in spots from smooth surfaces. The sponge only serves to enhance the ability of the cloth to absorb water and detergent. The essential character of the composite good is thus determined by the textile material.
  The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 10 10 as a knitted cleaning cloth. |

The fabric is made of textured yarn of polyesters and aluminium-covered polyester fibres (produced through a vapour metalising process) knitted together. The sponge is fully inserted into the fabric.

(cleaning cloth)

(See photographs No 656 A and No 656 B) (*1)

6307 10 10

Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 7(e) to Section XI, note 1 to Chapter 63 and the wording of CN codes 6307 , 6307 10 and 6307 10 10 .

The article is a composite good within the meaning of GIR 3(b) because the sponge is attached to the cloth to form a practically inseparable whole. (See also the Harmonised System Explanatory Note (HS EN) to GIR 3(b), (IX)).

The cloth which is a textile article is a made-up article within the meaning of note 7(e) to Section XI, because the knitted fabric is assembled by gumming. In addition, the fact that a sponge is inserted into the made-up textile article makes the whole good a made-up article. Thus, the article is covered by sub-chapter I of Chapter 63 by virtue of note 1 to Chapter 63.

Both the knitted cloth and the sponge have the objective characteristics of articles that are designed for cleaning with water and detergents. However, the rough surface of the knitted cloth gives the article its essential character within the meaning of GIR 3(b), because due to its rough surface the article is meant to clean dried-in spots from smooth surfaces. The sponge only serves to enhance the ability of the cloth to absorb water and detergent. The essential character of the composite good is thus determined by the textile material.

The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 6307 10 10 as a knitted cleaning cloth.

| Underwater housing for digital cameras made mainly of plastic within the meaning of Note 1 to Chapter 39.
  The product consists of two transparent halves which are fitted with manually operated push buttons, control or operating knobs made of metal, and frames with clasps made of plastic. It can also be fitted with an anti-glare screen shield, a mount and an extra handgrip.
  The watertight housing has a hollow at the front to fit the lens, which consists of a glass window and metal surround with an internal thread for ancillary lenses. At the back there is a padded space for the camera viewfinder.
  The product is intended to hold a complete digital camera and enables the camera to be used in damp or dusty surroundings.
  (See photos 1 and 2) (*1) | 3926 90 97 | Classification is determined by General Rules 1, 3 (b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, Note 1 to Chapter 39 and the wording of CN codes 3926 , 3926 90 and 3926 90 97 .
  Classification under heading 4202 as a camera case is excluded. Camera cases are included in heading 4202 . However, the underwater housing is not just a container for holding digital cameras but a product with a function of its own. Given the presence of push buttons and control or operating knobs, the product is not to be considered a container.
  Classification under heading 8529 is excluded since, although the article is a camera accessory, it cannot be considered a digital camera part as it is not essential to the functioning of a digital camera.
  Classification under headings 9006 or 9007 pursuant to Note 2 (b) to Chapter 90 is also excluded as those headings cover traditional photographic and cinematographic cameras, not digital cameras.
  The product consists of different materials and has therefore to be classified according to the constituent material which gives the product its essential character, in application of General Rule 3 (b).
  As plastic gives the product its essential character, it is therefore to be classified under heading 3926 as other article of plastics of CN code 3926 90 97 . |
