Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain aluminium foil originating,
  inter alia
  , in Russia: modification of the name and address of a company from which an undertaking was accepted and modification of the address of two companies co-signing this undertaking

(2004/C 193/03)

Imports of certain aluminium foil originating, inter alia, in Russia are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 950/2001 (1).

Joint Stock Company ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’ is a Russian producer, whose exports to the Community of certain aluminium foil are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 14,9 % by the abovementioned Regulation.

An undertaking was accepted by Commission Decision 2001/381/EC (2) from Joint Stock Company ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’, Studencheskaya Street, 33/4, Moscow, Russia, Sayan Foil, Sayanagorsk, Russia, the aluminium foil manufacturing operation of Joint Stock Company ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’, Rual Trade Limited, Suites 7B and 8B, 50 Town Range, Gibraltar, and Sibirsky Aluminium GmbH, Graf-Adolf-Platz 1-2, D-40213, Düsseldorf.

Joint Stock Company ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’ has informed the Commission that Sayan Foil has been registered as a separate legal entity and has in the process changed its name into Open Joint Stock Company ‘Rusal Sayanal’ with the address Promploshadka, Sayanagorsk, Republic of Khakasia 655600, Russia. Joint Stock Company ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’ has argued that the change of name and address does not affect the right of Open Joint Stock Company ‘Rusal Sayanal’ to benefit from the undertaking applied previously under its former name and address.

The Commission has examined the information supplied in regard to Sayan Foil and concluded that the changes in no way affect the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 950/2001 and Commission Decision 2001/381/EC with regard to the undertaking in force.

Furthermore, Rual Trade Limited has informed the Commission that it has changed its address to Geneva Place, 2nd Floor, 333 Waterfront Drive, PO Box 3339, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands. The company has asked the Commission to confirm that the change of address does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the undertaking given by the company under its previous address.

Finally, Sibirsky Aluminium GmbH has informed the Commission that it has changed its address to Jahnstrasse 3, D-40215 Düsseldorf. The company has asked the Commission to confirm that the change of address does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the undertaking given by the company under its previous address.

The Commission has examined the information supplied in regard to the abovementioned two changes of address and concluded that the changes in no way affect the undertaking in force concerning imports of aluminium foil from Russia.

In view of the above, the reference to Sayan Foil, Sayanagorsk, Russia should be read as Open Joint Stock Company ‘Rusal Sayanal’, Promploshadka, Sayanagorsk, Republic of Khakasia 655600, Russia, in Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 950/2001 and in Article 1 of Commission Decision 2001/381/EC.

The reference to Rual Trade Limited, Suites 7B and 8B, 50 Town Range, Gibraltar, should be read as Rual Trade, Geneva Place, 2nd Floor, 333 Waterfront Drive, PO Box 3339, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands, in Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 950/2001 and in Article 1 of Commission Decision 2001/381/EC.

The reference to Sibirsky Aluminium GmbH, Graf-Adolf-Platz 1-2, D-40213, Düsseldorf, should be read as Sibirsky Aluminium GmbH, Jahnstrasse 3, D-40215 Düsseldorf, in Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 950/2001 and in Article 1 of Commission Decision 2001/381/EC.

The Taric additional code 256 previously attributed to Joint Stock Company ‘United Company Siberian Aluminium’, Studencheskaya Street, 33/4, Moscow, Russia, shall apply to Open Joint Stock Company ‘Rusal Sayanal’, Promploshadka, Sayanagorsk, Republic of Khakasia 655600, Russia.

Call for the submission of proposals under a Community action programme promoting non-governmental organisations primarily active in the field of environmental protection

(2004/C 193/06)

Under the terms of Decision No 466/2002/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 1 March 2002 laying down a Community action programme promoting environmental NGOs (1) primarily active in the field of the environment, the Commission invites European non-governmental organisations, which are primarily active in the field of environmental protection and enhancement with a view to sustainable development to present proposals with a view to obtaining a financial contribution. NGOs also active in the field of animal protection may participate in this Programme, provided that such activities serve to achieve environmental protection objectives (within the principles of Article 174 of the EC Treaty).

Financial assistance under this call for proposals is subject to the availability of funds.

Contributions would be towards the costs that European environmental NGOs have to bear in carrying out the activities provided for in their 2005 annual work programme. Applicant organisations should be operating at a European level, either singly or in the form of several co-ordinated associations, with a structure (membership base) and activities covering at least three European countries. Coverage of two European countries is acceptable, provided that the primary objective of the activities is to support the development and implementation of Community environmental policy.

The Programme will be open to the participation of European NGOs established (legally registered) in either:

| — | the Member States, |
| --- | --- |

—

the Member States,

| — | Bulgaria, Romania, |
| --- | --- |

—

Bulgaria, Romania,

| — | Turkey, |
| --- | --- |

—

Turkey,

| — | Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Albania, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia. |
| --- | --- |

—

Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, Albania, Serbia and Montenegro, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Croatia.

The participation of NGOs from Bulgaria and Turkey is subject to the formal agreement between the government of each of these States and the Community, as these countries have not yet signed agreements. Only organisations from countries that have formally signed such agreements with the Community to participate in the action programme will be considered. Compliance with this criterion will be checked only at the final selection stage in December 2004.

Financial assistance under this call for proposals may be provided for activities, which involve contributing to the development and implementation of Community environmental policy and legislation in different regions of Europe. The Programme will also contribute to the strengthening of small regional or local associations working to apply the acquis communautaire in relation to the environment and sustainable development in their local area.

Support from this Programme will target the priority areas from the Sixth Environment Action Programme (2):

| — | limiting climate change, |
| --- | --- |

—

| — | nature and bio-diversity – protecting a unique resource, |
| --- | --- |

—

| — | health and environment, |
| --- | --- |

—

health and environment,

| — | ensuring the sustainable management of natural resources and waste. |
| --- | --- |

—

ensuring the sustainable management of natural resources and waste.

In addition to the abovementioned areas, implementation and enforcement of Community environmental legislation and environmental education will also remain of interest.

When awarding grants, the Commission will also pay due attention to participation from countries and regions previously under-represented in the Programme, with focus on the new Member States and the non-member States.

The Programme is a co-financing instrument. The rate of overall Community assistance shall not exceed 70 % of the applicant's average audited annual eligible expenses during the preceding two years, in the case of NGOs based in the Community or in those countries, which have joined the European Union in 2004, or 80 % in the case of NGOs based in the Bulgaria, Romania and Turkey and the Balkan countries, nor 80 % of the applicant's eligible expenses for the current year. The amount of a grant will only become final once the audited financial statement of the beneficiary has been accepted by the Commission. From this year the Financial Regulation will be applicable in its entirety.

Beneficiaries will be selected on the basis of the criteria set out in the information dossier relating to this call for proposals and within the limits of the available budget.

The procedure for the appraisal of a request is as follows:

| — | receipt, recording and acknowledgement of receipt by the Commission, |
| --- | --- |

—

receipt, recording and acknowledgement of receipt by the Commission,

| — | examination by the services of the Commission, |
| --- | --- |

—

examination by the services of the Commission,

| — | formulation of the final decision and communication of the result to the applicant. |
| --- | --- |

—

formulation of the final decision and communication of the result to the applicant.

The decision of the Commission is final.

The entire procedure is strictly confidential. In the event of approval by the Commission, a single contract (expressed in euro) will be concluded between the Commission and the party submitting the proposal.

The information dossier relating to this Call for Proposals which sets out the eligibility, selection and award criteria (including details of the weighting system) and the application, assessment and approval procedure, can be obtained by applying in writing to the following address (preferably by fax):
