Protocol on cooperation between the European Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee

2012/C 102/01

PREAMBLE

The Commission and the European Economic and Social Committee (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Committee’) consider that it is in their common interest to intensify their relations through the implementation of this Protocol, with the closer cooperation arrangements for which it provides replacing those in the Protocol of 7 November 2005 and its addendum of 31 May 2007.

Those arrangements are part of the creation of an environment conducive to a greater involvement of civil society organisations, at both national and European levels, in the policy-shaping and decision-making processes of the European Union and to the development of an ongoing structured dialogue between those organisations and the Union institutions, as provided for in Article 11(1) and (2) of the Treaty on European Union (TEU).

By virtue of the role assigned to it by the Treaties, the Committee has a particular responsibility to contribute to strengthening the democratic legitimacy and effectiveness of European Union institutions and policies. In this context, the Committee, as a privileged intermediary between civil society organisations and the Union institutions as referred to by Article 13, has a key role to play in the implementation by those institutions of the provisions of Article 11 of the TEU.

The Commission cooperates with the Committee in the accomplishment of its three fundamental missions as identified by the Mission Statement of the Committee:

| — | advising the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission and in the general interest of the Union and its citizens, |
| --- | --- |

—

advising the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission and in the general interest of the Union and its citizens,

| — | promoting the values on which the European Union is founded and the development of a more participatory and more inclusive European Union which is closer to its citizens, |
| --- | --- |

—

promoting the values on which the European Union is founded and the development of a more participatory and more inclusive European Union which is closer to its citizens,

| — | accompanying the external dimension of Union action by developing dialogue with civil society organisations and advancing the role of organised civil society and participatory democracy. |
| --- | --- |

—

accompanying the external dimension of Union action by developing dialogue with civil society organisations and advancing the role of organised civil society and participatory democracy.

The Commission supports the strengthening of the Committee’s advisory role, both upstream and downstream, of the Union policymaking and legislative process. The Committee may contribute to evaluating the implementation of EU legislation in particular in relation to the horizontal clauses, as provided for under Articles 8 to 12 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU).

The Commission and the Committee cooperate in the development of participative democracy at Union level with the aim of strengthening its democratic legitimacy.

The Commission considers this cooperation as a privileged tool to organise an open, transparent and regular dialogue with representative associations and civil society as referred to by Article 11 of the TEU.

The Commission supports the Committee’s initiatives to promote and structure dialogue and consultation with European organised civil society and reinforce relations with the network of economic and social councils and similar institutions in the Member States, so that the Committee can play a full part as a vector for the expectations and aspirations of organised civil society.

IV.   COMMUNICATING EUROPE IN PARTNERSHIP

| 20. | Informing about and communicating the European Union to citizens and civil society organisations is a shared responsibility of all the European institutions and bodies. Effective information and communication by the European Union should be considered primarily as a public service task, so as to give citizens and civil society organisations the opportunity to participate fully in the European debate and in the democratic process of framing Union decisions and policies. |

Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of silico-manganese originating in, inter alia, Kazakhstan

2012/C 102/15

By its judgment of 30 November 2011 in Case T-107/08, the General Court of the European Union annulled Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 (1) of 4 December 2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silico-manganese originating in the People’s Republic of China and Kazakhstan and terminating the proceeding on imports of silico-manganese originating in Ukraine in so far as that Article applies to imports of silico-manganese produced by Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO.

Consequently, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 on imports into the European Union of silico-manganese (including ferro-silico-manganese) currently falling within CN codes 7202 30 00 and ex 8111 00 11 (TARIC code 8111001110) manufactured by Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO, should be repaid or remitted. The repayment or remission must be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable customs legislation.

As a consequence of the judgment of 30 November 2011, Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO (TARIC additional code B271) is no longer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007.
