Notice concerning anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of furfuryl alcohol originating in the People's Republic of China: Modification of the name of a company with an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2004/C 296/03)

Imports of furfuryl alcohol originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to definitive anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1905/2003 (1).

Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd, a Chinese company whose exports to the Community of furfuryl alcohol are subject to an individual duty rate of EUR 97/tonne by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on 17 December 2003 it changed its name to ‘Zhucheng Taisheng Chemical Co., Ltd’. The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous name of Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of company name in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 1905/2003.

Hence, the references to ‘Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co., Ltd’ should be read as ‘Zhucheng Taisheng Chemical Co., Ltd’ in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1905/2003.

The Taric code A441, previously attributed to Zhucheng Huaxiang Chemical Co. Ltd, shall apply to Zhucheng Taisheng Chemical Co., Ltd.
