  )

2012/C 127/05

On page 15, Annex A, point 5 ‘Information related to loans’:

for:

‘By providing the above information, the company agrees to its possible inclusion in the sample. If the company is selected to be part of the sample, this will involve completing a questionnaire and accepting a visit at its premises in order to verify its response. If the company indicates that it does not agree to its possible inclusion in the sample, it will be deemed to have not cooperated in the investigation. The Commission’s findings for non-cooperating exporting producers are based on facts available and the result may be less favourable to that company than if it had cooperated.’,

read:

‘Please provide a full list of banks which have provided your company with loans that are not yet fully repaid at the end of the investigation period. Indicate which, if any, of these banks are state-owned (directly or indirectly) and provide the percentage (share) of state ownership.’.
