Notice of initiation of an expiry review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of rebars originating in the Republic of Belarus

(2022/C 231/11)

Following the publication of a Notice of impending expiry (1) of the anti-dumping measures in force on the imports of rebars originating in the republic of Belarus (‘the country concerned’), the European Commission (’the Commission’) has received a request for review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (2) (’the basic Regulation’).

1.   Request for review

The request was submitted on 16 March 2022 by the European Steel Association (‘Eurofer’ or ‘the applicant’) on behalf of the Union industry of rebars in the sense of Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.

An open version of the request and the analysis of the degree of support by Union producers for the request are available in the file for inspection by interested parties. Section 5.6 of this Notice provides information about access to the file for interested parties.

2.   Product under review

The product subject to this review is certain concrete reinforcement bars and rods, made of iron or non-alloy steel, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, whether or not twisted after rolling, containing indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process (’the product under review’), currently falling under CN codes ex 7214 10 00, ex 7214 20 00, ex 7214 30 00, ex 7214 91 10, ex 7214 91 90, ex 7214 99 10 and ex 7214 99 95 (TARIC codes: 7214100010, 7214200020, 7214300010, 7214911010, 7214919010, 7214991010, 7214999510). High fatigue performance iron or steel concrete reinforcing bars and rods are excluded.Other long products, such as round bars are excluded. The CN and TARIC codes are given for information only without prejudice to their possible amendment at future steps of the proceeding.

3.   Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 2017/1019 (3).

4.   Grounds for the review

The request is based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in continuation of dumping and recurrence of injury to the Union industry.

4.1.   
  Allegation of likelihood of continuation of dumping

4.1.1.   Allegation of likelihood of continuation of dumping from the Republic of Belarus

In the absence of reliable data on domestic prices for Belarus, the allegation of likelihood of continuation of dumping is based on a comparison of the normal value, based on prices for rebars sold in the domestic markets of the United States and Brazil, (adjusted at ex – works level) which are used as representative countries, with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product under review when sold for export to the Union.

On this basis the dumping margins calculated are significant for Belarus.

4.2.   
  Allegation of likelihood of recurrence of injury

The applicant alleges the likelihood of recurrence of injury from Belarus. In this respect the applicant has provided sufficient evidence that, should measures be allowed to lapse, the current import level of the product under review from Belarus to the Union is likely to increase due to the existence of unused capacity in Belarus, attractiveness of the Union market and the various trade defence measures on rebars in force in third markets.

The applicant finally alleges that the removal of injury has been mainly due to the existence of measures and that any recurrence of substantial imports at dumped prices from Belarus would likely lead to a recurrence of injury to the Union industry should measures be allowed to lapse.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after consulting the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation, that sufficient evidence of a likelihood of dumping and injury exists to justify the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission hereby initiates a review in accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.

The expiry review will determine whether the expiry of the measures would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping of the product under review originating in Belarus and a continuation or recurrence of injury to the Union industry.

The Commission also draws the attention of the parties to the published Notice (4) on the consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak on anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations that may be applicable to this proceeding.

5.1.   
  Review investigation period and period considered

The investigation of a continuation or recurrence of dumping will cover the period from 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021 (‘the review investigation period’). The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of injury will cover the period from 1 January 2018 to the end of the investigation period (‘the period considered’).

5.2.   
  Comments on the request and the initiation of the investigation

All interested parties wishing to comment on the request (including matters pertaining to recurrence of injury and causality) or any aspects regarding the initiation of the investigation (including the degree of support for the request) must do so within 37 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union (5).

Any request for a hearing with regard to the initiation of the investigation must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice.

5.3.   
  Procedure for the determination of a likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping

In an expiry review, the Commission examines exports that were made to the Union in the review investigation period and, irrespective of exports to the Union, considers whether the situation of the companies producing and selling the product under review in the country concerned is such that exports at dumped prices to the Union would be likely to continue or recur if measures expire.

Therefore, all producers (6) of the product under review from the country concerned, including those that did not cooperate in the investigation leading to the measures in force, are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

5.3.1.   Investigating producers in the country concerned

In view of the potentially large number of producers in Belarus involved in this expiry review and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit the producers to be investigated to a reasonable number by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ’sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary, and if so, to select a sample, all producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, including the ones who did not cooperate in the investigation leading to the measures subject to the present review, are hereby requested to make to provide the Commission with information on their companies within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice. This information must be provided via TRON.tdi at the following address: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/tron/tdi/form/R773_SAMPLING_FORM_FOR_EXPORTING_PRODUCER. Tron access information can be found in sections 5.6 and 5.9 below.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of producers, the Commission will also contact the authorities of Belarus and may contact any known associations of producers in the country concerned.

If a sample is necessary, the producers will be selected based on the largest representative volume of production, sales or exports which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known producers in Belarus, the authorities of the country concerned and associations of producers will be notified by the Commission, via the authorities of the country concerned if appropriate, of the companies selected to be in the sample.

Once the Commission has received the necessary information to select a sample of producers, it will inform the parties concerned of its decision whether they are included in the sample. The sampled producers will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of notification of the decision of their inclusion in the sample, unless otherwise specified.

The Commission will add a note to the file for inspection by interested parties reflecting the sample selection. Any comment on the sample selection must be received within 3 days of the date of notification of the sample decision.

A copy of the questionnaire for producers in the country concerned is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s Internet: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/investigations/case-view?caseId=2607.

Without prejudice to the possible application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation, companies that have agreed to their possible inclusion in the sample but are not selected to be in the sample will be considered to be cooperating.

5.3.2.   Investigating unrelated importers (7) (8)

Unrelated importers of the product under review from Belarus to the Union, including those that did not cooperate in the investigation leading to the measures in force, are invited to participate in this investigation.

In view of the potentially large number of unrelated importers involved in this expiry review and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit to a reasonable number the unrelated importers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ’sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all unrelated importers, or representatives acting on their behalf, including the ones who did not cooperate in the investigation leading to the measures subject to the present review, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties must do so within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice by providing the Commission with the information on their company(ies) requested in Annex to this Notice.

In order to obtain information, it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of unrelated importers, the Commission may also contact any known associations of importers.

If a sample is necessary, the importers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of sales of the product under review from Belarus in the Union that can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known unrelated importers and associations of importers will be notified by the Commission of the companies selected to be in the sample.

The Commission will also add a note to the file for inspection by interested parties reflecting the sample selection. Any comment on the sample selection must be received within 3 days of the date of notification of the sample decision.

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will make available questionnaires to the sampled unrelated importers. Those parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of the notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

A copy of the questionnaire for unrelated importers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s Internet: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/investigations/case-view?caseId=2607.

5.4.   
  Procedure for the determination of a likelihood of a recurrence of injury

In order to establish whether there is a likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of injury to the Union industry, the Commission invites Union producers of the product under review to participate in the investigation.

5.4.1.   Investigating Union producers

In view of the large number of Union producers involved in this expiry review and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission has decided to limit to a reasonable number the Union producers that will be investigated by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ’sampling’). The sampling is carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

The Commission has provisionally selected a sample of Union producers. Details can be found in the file for inspection by interested parties.

Interested parties are hereby invited to comment on the provisional sample. In addition, other Union producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, including Union producers who did not cooperate in the investigation leading to the measures in force, that consider that there are reasons why they should be included in the sample must contact the Commission within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice. All comments regarding the provisional sample must be received within 7 days of the date of publication of this Notice, unless otherwise specified.

The Commission will notify all known Union producers and/or associations of Union producers of the companies finally selected to be in the sample.

The sampled Union producers will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 30 days from the date of notification of the decision of their inclusion in the sample, unless otherwise specified.

A copy of the questionnaire for Union producers is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s Internet: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/investigations/case-view?caseId=2607.

5.5.   
  Procedure for the assessment of Union interest

Should the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury be confirmed, a decision will be reached, pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, as to whether maintaining the anti-dumping measures would not be against the Union interest.

Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, trade unions and representative consumer organisations are invited to provide the Commission with information on the Union interest.

Information concerning the assessment of the Union interest must be provided within 37 days of the date of publication of this Notice, unless otherwise specified. This information may be provided either in a free format or by completing a questionnaire prepared by the Commission.

A copy of the questionnaires, including the questionnaire for users of the product under review, is available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on DG Trade’s Internet: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/investigations/case-view?caseId=2607. In any case, information submitted pursuant to Article 21 will only be taken into account if supported by factual evidence at the time of submission, which substantiates its validity.

5.6.   
  Interested parties

In order to participate in the investigation, interested parties, such as producers in the country concerned, Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, trade unions and representative consumer organisations first have to demonstrate that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under review.

Producers in the country concerned, Union producers, importers and representative associations who made information available in accordance to the procedures described in sections 5.3.1, 5.3.2 and 5.4.1 will be considered as interested parties if there is an objective link between their activities and the product under review.

Other parties will only be able to participate in the investigation as interested party from the moment they make themselves known, and provided that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under review. Being considered as an interested party is without prejudice to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

Access to the file available for inspection for interested parties is made via Tron.tdi at the following address: https://tron.trade.ec.europa.eu/tron/TDI. Please follow the instructions on that page to get access (9).

5.7.   
  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.

5.8.   
  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 must be made in writing and must specify the reasons for the request as well as a summary of what the interested party wishes to discuss during the hearing. The hearing will be limited to the issues set out by the interested parties in writing beforehand.

In principle, hearings will not be used to present factual information which is not yet on file. Nevertheless, in the interest of good administration and to enable Commission services to progress with the investigation, interested parties may be directed to provide new factual information after a hearing.

5.9.   
  Instructions for making written submissions and sending completed questionnaires and correspondence

Information submitted to the Commission for the purpose of trade defence investigations shall be free from copyrights. Interested parties, before submitting to the Commission information and/or data which is subject to third party copyrights, must request specific permission to the copyright holder explicitly allowing the Commission a) to use the information and data for the purpose of this trade defence proceeding and b) to provide the information and/or data to interested parties to this investigation in a form that allows them to exercise their rights of defence.

6.   Schedule of the investigation

The investigation shall normally be concluded within 12 months and in any event no later than 15 months from the date of the publication of this Notice, pursuant to Article 11(5) of the basic Regulation.

7.   Submission of information

As a rule, interested parties may only submit information in the timeframes specified in section 5 of this Notice.

In order to complete the investigation within the mandatory deadlines, the Commission will not accept submissions from interested parties after the deadline to provide comments on the final disclosure or, if applicable, after the deadline to provide comments on the additional final disclosure.

8.   Possibility to comment on other parties’ submissions

In order to guarantee the rights of defence, interested parties should have the possibility to comment on information submitted by other interested parties. When doing so, interested parties may only address issues raised in the other interested parties’ submissions and may not raise new issues.

Comments on the information provided by other interested parties in reaction to the disclosure of the definitive findings should be submitted within 5 days from the deadline to comment on the definitive findings, unless otherwise specified. If there is an additional final disclosure, comments on the information provided by other interested parties in reaction to this further disclosure should be made within 1 day from the deadline to comment on this further disclosure, unless otherwise specified.

The outlined timeframe is without prejudice to the Commission’s right to request additional information from interested parties in duly justified cases.

9.   Extension to time limits specified in this Notice

Any extension to the time limits provided for in this Notice should only be requested in exceptional circumstances and will only be granted if duly justified. In any event, any extensions to the deadline to reply to questionnaires will be limited normally to 3 days, and as a rule will not exceed 7 days. Regarding time limits for the submission of other information specified in the Notice of initiation, extensions will be limited to 3 days unless exceptional circumstances are demonstrated.

10.   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.

Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. The interested party should immediately contact the Commission.

11.   Hearing Officer

Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and any other request concerning the rights of defence of interested parties and third parties as may arise during the proceeding.

The Hearing Officer may organise hearings and mediate between the interested party/-ies and Commissions services 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. The Hearing Officer will examine the reasons for the requests. These hearings should only take place if the issues have not been settled with the Commission services in due course.

Any request must be submitted in good time and expeditiously so as not to jeopardise the orderly conduct of proceedings. To that effect, interested parties should request the intervention of the Hearing Officer at the earliest possible time following the occurrence of the event justifying such intervention. Where hearing requests are submitted outside the relevant timeframes, the Hearing Officer will also examine the reasons for such late requests, the nature of the issues raised and the impact of those issues on the rights of defence, having due regard to the interests of good administration and the timely completion of the investigation.

For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer’s web pages on DG Trade’s Internet: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/trade-policy-and-you/contacts/hearing-officer/.

12.   Possibility to request a review under Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation

As this expiry review is initiated in accordance with the provisions of Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the findings thereof will not lead to the existing measures being amended but will lead to those measures being repealed or maintained in accordance with Article 11(6) of the basic Regulation.

If any interested party considers that a review of the measures is warranted so as to allow for the possibility to amend the measures, that party may request a review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.

Parties wishing to request such a review, which would be carried out independently of the expiry review mentioned in this Notice, may contact the Commission at the address given above.

13.   Processing of personal data

Any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2018/1725 of the European Parliament and of the Council (11).

1.   Name(s) [of PDO or PGI]

‘Garam Amed Bali / Bunga Garam Amed Bali’

2.   Member State or Third Country

Indonesia

3.   Description of the agricultural product or foodstuff

3.1.   Type of product

Class 2.6 Salt

3.2.   Description of the product to which the name in (1) applies

‘Garam Amed Bali’ refers to Amed Bali salt and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ refers to Amed Bali fleur de sel.

‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ are hand-harvested sea salt originating exclusively from the area of Amed in Bali, obtained by capturing the salt minerals contained in seawater with clay soil. The dried clay soil enriched with salt minerals is then rinsed with fresh seawater through a filtration system made of woven bamboo to release the salt minerals and to produce the brine, which is then deposited on the salt drying pans made from halved coconut or palm tree trunks for crystallisation. They are unrefined, unwashed, and additive-free sea salts. Their physical and properties are described below.

3.2.1.   ‘Garam Amed Bali’

‘Garam Amed Bali’ is sea salt consisting of crystals which form at the bottom of salt drying pans. The salt is harvested by hand with a special tool. The crystals are mostly cube-shaped with the presence of a few tetragonal-shaped ones, with grain size between

0,8 mm and 2,0 mm, white in colour, shiny, clean, and easy to dissolve, having savoury taste, crunchy and crispy textures with old wood fragrance, not bitter, and not spicy.

3.2.2.   ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’

‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ consists of light and fine flakes and brittle crystals that–under favourable wind and sun conditions–form on the surface of the brine in the salt drying pans. ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ is harvested by hand by skimming the surface of the salt drying pans using a special tool before it settles to the bottom of the salt drying pans. With minimal rubbing between fingers, it is easily crushed into small, light, mostly in cube-shaped crystals with the presence of a few tetragonal-shaped ones, with grain size between 0,6 mm and 1,7 mm, white in colour, shiny, and clean. It is savoury and possesses crunchy and crispy textures with old wood fragrance, not bitter, and not spicy. As it dissolves extremely easily, it can be used immediately as table salt.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificities of the geographical area

The specific characteristics of ‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ are a result of the natural factors and climate conditions in the defined geographical area and of human factors.

Natural factors

Amed is located on a narrow coastal strip next to a deep sea, clear and clean ocean with calm waves. The ocean is characterised by its deep-water currents, cleanliness, mineral density and purity of its seawater.

The table below shows an analysis of the seawater of Amed, which contains a high sodium chloride and low pollutant contents. These contents are better than the standards set by the Indonesian National Standards (SNI).

The equipment used to produce ‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ are made from local trees (coconut and palm trees) and bamboo.

Clay soil around Amed beach is used to capture the salt minerals from seawater and enrich the salt with other beneficial minerals.

The production is conducted only during the dry season between June and October through which the sun is at its peak, with the presence of a moderate breeze that provides even heat distribution during the salt crystallisation process.

There are no activities such as heavy industry and shipping that cause environmental damages in the defined geographical area.

Human factors

The specificity of the geographical area also derives from human history dating back centuries ago during the rule of the Kings of Karangasem, where salt served as an official tribute by the Amed people to the kingdom. ‘Garam Amed Bali’ has been produced over 700 years using traditional salt making process.

The salt production in the Amed coastal area has been passed down from generations until to date in traditional way with the know-how, wisdom, and culture of local salt producers. The start of the salt production season is determined by elders who have a thorough understanding of weather conditions and have decades of salt-making experience.

The process is using a unique technique and equipment.

First, the process starts with preparing the equipment. The drying pans are made of old coconut/palm tree trunks that are halved and rid of their contents. A halved tree trunk is

2,5 m long and around 25-30 cm wide. The filtration device is made of woven bamboo, coated with thick plastic in the inner side, filled from the bottom up with compacted stones, gravels, and sand. Above the sand layer, woven palm/coconut leaves or coarse cloth are placed as a barrier.

Second, the salting plots are prepared. They have an area of 200 square meters consisting of 4 square sections where each side is 7 meters long. Local clay soil which captures the salt minerals is placed into the salting plot and flattened.

Third, from 375 to 600 liters of seawater from the seashore of Amed are poured every morning onto the clay soil in the salting plot. Water pumps can also be used to pump the water into the salting plots. The process of watering the clay soil in the salting plot runs for 4 consecutive days until it contains salt minerals and dries.

Fourth, the salt-enriched clay soil in each section of the salting plot is raked, collected and transferred into the filtration device. The salt makers will step inside the filtration device to stomp, level, and compact the salt-enriched clay soil.

Fifth, at midday, from 120 to 200 liters of fresh seawater are poured into the filtration device and have clay soil hot enough to produce good quality brine. This addition of seawater allows the clay soil to soak and release the salt minerals overnight.

Sixth, the filtered saltwater or brine, is collected in a brine reservoir made of a hollowed coconut or palm tree trunk or a concrete tube and stirred before it is transferred to the drying pans to dry and crystallize for 4 days, until the fleur de sel and salt crystals are formed. Fleur de sel forms only when favourable wind and sun conditions occur.

Finally, the fleur de sel that forms on the surface of the brine during crystallisation process is harvested by hand by skimming the surface with a wooden scraper. The crystalised brine that settles on the base of the drying pans is harvested with wooden scraper as salt.

The tradition of capturing salt minerals using local clay soil; filtering using a device that is made of leaves, stone, gravel, and sand; and the crystallising using locally grown, halved coconut/palm tree trunks is very specific to Amed salt. Other salts are mostly harvested simply by evaporating seawater in salt marshes or in green house.

5.2.   Specificities of the product

Quality or characteristics of the product

‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ are produced using specific traditional processes and traditional tools.

They are naturally white in colour, glossy, clean, and easy to dissolve.

They are crystal white, mostly cube-shaped with the presence of a few tetragonal-shaped ones, and are different from other salts whose crystals are triclinic-shaped with the presence of a few tetragonal-shaped ones.

They are rich in minerals such as magnesium, calcium, and potassium. The magnesium content is especially much higher than that of other sea salts whose content is only up to 50 mg/100 g at most.

Their texture is soft and dry, and the grain size is uniformly between 0,6 mm and 2,0 mm; whereas the texture of other salts is harder, and their grain size is bigger–between 2 mm and 5 mm. The Amed salt has no bitter aftertaste, is not spicy, and has a woody scent.

‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ has higher content of magnesium, calcium and potassium minerals than ‘Garam Amed Bali’. It is finer and more fragile, brittle and tasty. It breaks easily into very small crystals when rubbed, and dissolves very easily when in contact with the moisture of food, which then enhances its original taste.

‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ are ready for immediate use without any further processing.

Due to their high quality (specialty or premium) salt or and status as gourmet salt, ‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ are now consumed widely by households, hotels, restaurants, and catering industry. Nowadays, national newspaper and prominent chefs hold ‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ in high esteem.

5.3.   Link between the specificities of the product and the specificities of the geographical area

The unique qualities of ‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ derive from the pure Amed seawater, the use of Amed clay soil to capture salt minerals, the use of traditional equipment, and exclusive method of crystallising the salt that have been practised from more than 700 years ago.

The high mineral content and purity of the seawater which contains less than 0,005 % of insoluble substances due to deep-sea currents, together with the traditional capturing process of salt minerals using clay soil and traditional filtration device determine the chemical composition of ‘Garam Amed Bali’ and ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’, and contribute to their high magnesium content compared to other salts.

The purity is also highlighted by the sensorial characteristics of the salt that is crystal white, unwashed, and thus ready for use as human food product without any further processing, unlike some other salts that are reprocessed by the salt collectors by repeatedly diluting with fresh seawater and then recrystallised.

The specific taste that does not leave any bitterness; texture; grain size, which is smaller compared to other salts; and colour are also directly attributable to the mineral content and the cleanliness of Amed seawater, and to the traditional production process of capturing salt minerals using clay soil and the unique filtration system.

The crystallisation process in coconut or palm tree trunks gives the salt and fleur de sel a specific taste and woody scent.

‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ consists of light flakes or salt crystals that contain higher content of magnesium, calcium and potassium minerals than ‘Garam Amed Bali’, hence the former’s more savoury, crunchy, and crispy taste. It is finer, more fragile and brittle, breaks easily into very small crystals, and dissolves extremely easily when in contact with the moisture. ‘Bunga Garam Amed Bali’ forms on the surface of the brine in the salt drying pans when favourable wind and sun conditions are present during the salt crystallisation process before harvesting the salt.

The use of drying pans made of coconut/palm tree trunks is perfectly suitable for salt making in Amed where there are not enough coastal areas, i.e., land alongside the beach that is used to dry and evaporate brine, but where many coconut and palm trees are available to prepare the drying pans.

5.   Link with the geographical area

(1)   Specific features of the geographical area:

The application for registering the PGI ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ is based on the quality of the product and its particular renown. The particular appeal of the meat of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ lies in its distinct flavour and aromatic odour. The production in the geographical region follows traditions dating back more than 100 years, consisting of selection and rearing in combination with the highly favourable geographical and climatic conditions, which ensure the high quality as well as form the basis for the particular renown.

The region that comprises the geographical area of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ is a centre of the fishing culture in the federal state of Brandenburg. The size and structure of the carp pond farms shape the appearance of the landscape. The geographical area of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ stands out because the water in the artificial canals diverted from the Spree or its tributaries, such as the Hammergraben and the Priorgraben, ensures a high-quality, stable water supply throughout the year. The Peitz ponds have primarily sandy, limy, relatively nutrient-poor bottoms and are not very muddy. They have a good-quality but not overly rich microorganism population. The pH value of the water is between 7 and 8. A unique feature of the Peitz ponds is that despite their size (some measure more than 100 hectares) they are only 0,9-1,0 m deep on average. Hibernation ponds can be deeper. The biological advantage is that the water warms up quickly, which increases the amount of natural food for the carp.

This rapid warming potential is aided by the region’s mild average annual temperature, which was 8,9 °C in the period 1961-1990, 0,7 °C higher than the German average in the same period. These location factors, along with the semi-intensive farming practices, ensure that the fish have a unique meat quality. In terms of weight development, ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ generally achieves 25-50 g as a one-year-old and 250-500 g as a two-year-old, and is predominantly put on the market at three years of age with a weight between 1,5 and 2,5 kg. Heavier specimens are possible at three years of age if they have hibernated in warm water or at four or more years of age.

(2)   Specificity of the product:

The ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ stock can be traced back to a variety developed by a civil servant by the name of Kuhnert in the late 19th century in the domain of Peitz and has been purebred since then.

The stock is the product of a cross between Galician, Holstein landrace and Lusatian species. This resulted in a variety characterised by rapid growth and very good resistance to diseases and bad weather, as well as high meat content and delicious flavour.

‘Peitzer Karpfen’ is a straight-backed type of mirror carp. The primarily elongated body shape is characterised by a ratio of depth to length of between 1:2,5 and 1:3,4. ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ is characterised by its bright to pale pink, firm, tender and lean meat, with a distinct flavour that is typical for the species and an aromatic odour. In terms of weight development, ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ achieves 25-50 g as a one-year-old and 250-500 g as a two-year-old. It is predominantly put on the market at three years of age with a weight between 1,5 and 2,5 kg and at four years of age with a weight of 2,5 kg or more.

(3)   Causal link:

The quality of the product is the result of the following unique production steps, which represent a distinguishing feature of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’:

| a) | Broodstock management and certification of the breeding animals expressing characteristics that most completely match the characteristics of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’. The breeding animals are kept in nutrient-rich natural waters when given supplementary grain feed in order to achieve particularly high-quality spawn. |

In particular the maintenance of the original genetic line is based on the human factor, because a long-sighted staffing policy and long-term recruitment of the next generation maintain and continue the know-how developed through hundreds of years of tradition. The fact that experts carry out the individual steps ensures that, at the end of the process, the product is of unique quality and the meat has the distinct flavour and aromatic odour.

The product’s particular renown is the result of its long tradition going back more than 100 years, proven by its appointment as purveyor to the court of the Kingdom of Prussia and its highly exceptional visibility in the relevant food sector.

‘Peitzer Karpfen’ has a prominent market position in Germany at present. One out of every 20 carp produced in Germany comes from the geographical area described. The quality is based on the tradition of the ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ stock, which dates back more than 100 years, and the careful selection of healthy, vigorous breeding specimens since then. When making the selection, attention is paid to the typical characteristics of the product, such as its good body depth, the structure of the meat and the ratio of meat to bone. At the same time, interbreeding with other strains of carp is prevented, in order to preserve these typical characteristics. Thus, under highly favourable geographical and climatic conditions (abundant inflow of water from the Spree, sandy and nutrient-poor soil, little mud, shallow waters), the unique quality of the ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ has been able to develop. Because experienced personnel continually select the particularly healthy and strong fish for breeding, a lesser-quality product is avoided, and instead the uniformly high quality and unique flavour of the meat is guaranteed. This is reinforced in consumer perception and increases the product’s market volume as well as its renown. ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ has achieved several outstanding awards and honours, including the following:

As a result of the quality of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ and the excellent reliability of its production, the Peitzer pond farming industry was made a purveyor to the court of the Kingdom of Prussia. Even the fame and significance of the Cottbus carp auction can be traced back to the quality and reputation of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’. For more than 50 years it was the centre of the carp trade in Central Europe. Even during the era of the German Democratic Republic, the Peitz region was the flagship of the carp breeding industry. ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ was even exported to West Berlin, for instance.

The ponds in Peitz, with an area of more than 1 000 hectares, make up one of the largest such regions in Europe. ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ is immensely popular in Germany and is distributed nationwide. Every year more than 500 tonnes of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ are reared and caught. This is only possible in this defined geographical area, where the Spree and its tributaries guarantee a stable water supply. Especially in drought years, when other regions face low water levels, the inflow of fresh water from the Spree prevents an increase of the underwater vegetation and sludge that would have a negative effect on the meat of the carp kept there. Carp reared in other regions then have a stronger muddy flavour. The meat of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’, on the other hand, maintains its excellent flavour, resulting in its quality and the product’s high renown.

The media frequently report on ‘Peitzer Karpfen’. The ARD and WDR television channels broadcast a full-length report on ‘Peitzer Karpfen’. The newspaper Lausitzer Rundschau reported on the state of ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ at the 2014 Fish International trade fair.

Countless exhibitions and information events mention ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ on a regular basis. The annual clearing of the ponds in the period from September to November is marked by a celebration with thousands of visitors enjoying demonstration fishing at the Peitz rearing pond. A fisher festival is held in the town of Peitz on the second weekend of August, drawing a great many visitors from far and wide. The period between Christmas and New Year primarily draws customers from Berlin and Cottbus, who patiently wait in long queues at the sales tables. Fresh fish are sold to customers in a region known as the ‘Peitzer Karpfen road’ stretching from the town of Königs Wusterhausen near Berlin to the town of Hoyerswerda in Saxony. Tours of the ponds provide a glimpse into the varied habitat and the practice of fish farming. A pond nature trail runs for 2.3 kilometres through the area of the ponds, with signboards and activity stops giving information about the Peitz pond landscape through history and the present day. There are also well-known regional and national cycling and hiking routes that lead through the idyllic pond region. In 2006 a fishery museum opened especially for the ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ that was funded in part by the EU. The museum’s opening was reported on nationwide on television. The museum has a variety of exhibits and explains the historical development of the Peitz fishing industry in the Peitz ponds to the present day.

Recipes for ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ can be found in internet recipe databases, and a small ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ cookbook is available from Amazon. Travel guides point out this special delicacy. Ronny Pietzner, a chef at the five-star hotel Grand Elysee Hamburg, included one of his favourite ‘Peitzer Karpfen’ recipes in his cookbook.
