THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of 9 December 1996 on the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (1) and in particular Article 19(2) thereof,

After consulting the Scientific Review Group,

Whereas:

| (1) | Article 4(6) of Regulation (EC) No 338/97 provides that the Commission may establish restrictions to the introduction of certain species into the Community in accordance with the conditions laid down in points (a) to (d) thereof. Furthermore, implementing measures for such restrictions have been laid down in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1808/2001 of 30 August 2001 laying down detailed rules concerning the implementation of Council Regulation (EC) No 338/97 of the protection of species of wild fauna and flora by regulating trade therein (2). |

COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 607/2006

of 19 April 2006

initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 398/2004 on imports of silicon originating in the People's Republic of China by imports of silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, and making such imports subject to registration

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (the basic Regulation) (1), and in particular Article 13(3) and Article 14(5) thereof,

After having consulted the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

A.   REQUEST

| (1) | The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

The Commission has received a request pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China.

| (2) | The request was lodged on 6 March 2006 by Euro Alliages on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, i.e. 100 % of the Community production of silicon. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The request was lodged on 6 March 2006 by Euro Alliages on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, i.e. 100 % of the Community production of silicon.

B.   PRODUCT

| (3) | The product concerned by the possible circumvention is silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China, normally declared under CN code ex 2804 69 00 (the product concerned). This code is given for information only. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The product concerned by the possible circumvention is silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China, normally declared under CN code ex 2804 69 00 (the product concerned). This code is given for information only.

| (4) | The product under investigation is silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same code as the product concerned. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

The product under investigation is silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea (the product under investigation) normally declared under the same code as the product concerned.

C.   EXISTING MEASURES

| (5) | The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are antidumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 398/2004 (2). |
| --- | --- |

(5)

The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are antidumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 398/2004 (2).

2

D.   GROUNDS

| (6) | The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China are being circumvented by means of the transhipment via Republic of Korea of silicon. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China are being circumvented by means of the transhipment via Republic of Korea of silicon.

prima facie

| (7) | The evidence submitted is as follows:
  The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People’s Republic of China and the Republic of Korea to the Community has taken place, and that there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty for such a change.
  This change in the pattern of trade appears to stem from the transhipment of silicon originating in the People’s Republic of China via the Republic of Korea.
  Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of silicon from the Republic of Korea appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient evidence that this increase in imports is made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.
  Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of silicon are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
  Should circumvention practices via the Republic of Korea covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than transhipment, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may cover these practices also. |

E.   PROCEDURE

| (8) | In the light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation and to make imports of silicon consigned from the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation. |

Article 4

General principle

Subject to the restrictions set out in Article 2(2) and 2(3) all documents shall be re-usable for commercial or non-commercial purposes in accordance with the conditions set out below. Where possible, documents shall be made available through electronic means.

Article 5

Processing applications for re-use

1.   In order to limit the need to make individual re-use applications the Commission services shall, where appropriate, indicate whether documents are re-usable (e.g. by general notices on web pages).

2.   An application for the re-use of a document shall be handled promptly. An acknowledgement of receipt shall be sent to the applicant. Within 15 working days from registration of the application, the Commission service or Publications Office shall either allow re-use of the document requested, and, where relevant, provide a copy of the document, or, in a written reply, indicate the total or partial refusal of the application, stating the reasons.

3.   In exceptional cases, for example in the event of an application relating to a very long document to a very large number of documents or in case the application needs to be translated, the time-limit provided for in paragraph 2 may be extended by 15 working days, provided that the applicant is notified in advance and that detailed reasons are given.

4.   In the case of a refusal, the Commission service or Publications Office shall inform the applicant of the right to bring an action before the Court of First Instance of the European Communities or to lodge a complaint with the European Ombudsman, under the conditions laid down in Articles 230 and 195 of the EC Treaty, respectively, or Articles 146 and 107(d) of the Euratom Treaty.

5.   Where a refusal is based on Article 2(2)b of this Decision, the reply to the applicant shall include a reference to the natural or legal person who is the rightholder, where known, or alternatively to the licensor from which the Commission has obtained the relevant material, where known.

Article 6

Available formats

Documents shall be made available in any existing format or language version, through electronic means where possible and appropriate.

This does not imply an obligation to create, to adapt or to update documents in order to comply with the application, nor any obligation to provide extracts from documents where this would involve disproportionate effort, going beyond a simple operation.

Neither does this Decision create any obligation for the Commission to translate the documents requested into any other language versions than those already available at the moment of the application.

On the basis of this Decision, the Commission or the Publications Office may not be required to continue the production of certain types of documents or to preserve them in a given format with a view to the re-use of such documents by a natural or legal person.

Article 7

Principles governing charging

1.   The re-use of documents shall in principle be free of charge.

2.   In specific cases, marginal costs incurred for the reproduction and dissemination of documents may be recovered.

3.   In cases where the Commission decides to adapt a document in order to satisfy a specific application, the costs involved in the adaptation may be recovered from the applicant. The assessment of the need to recover such costs shall take into account the effort necessary for the adaptation as well as the potential advantages the re-use may bring to the Communities, for example in terms of spreading information on the functioning of the Communities or in terms of the image of the Institution to the outside world.

Article 8

Transparency

1.   Any applicable conditions and standard charges for the re-use of documents shall be pre-established and published, through electronic means where possible and appropriate.

2.   The search for documents will be facilitated by practical arrangements, such as asset-lists of main documents available for re-use.

Article 9

Licenses

The re-use of documents may be allowed without conditions or conditions may be imposed, where appropriate through a license or through a disclaimer. Typical conditions for re-use include the obligation for the re-user to acknowledge the source of the documents, the obligation not to distort the original meaning or message of the documents, and non-liability of the Commission for any consequence stemming from the re-use. The conditions shall not unnecessarily restrict possibilities for re-use.

Article 10

Non-discrimination and prohibition of exclusive arrangements

1.   Any applicable conditions for the re-use of documents shall be non-discriminatory for comparable categories of re-use.

2.   The re-use of documents shall be open to all potential actors in the market. No exclusive rights shall be granted.

3.   However, where an exclusive right is necessary for the provision of a service in the public interest, the validity of the reason for granting such an exclusive right shall be subject to regular review, and shall, in any event, be reviewed after three years. Any exclusive arrangement shall be transparent and made public.

Article 11

Implementation

In accordance with Article 14 of the Commission’s rules of procedure, the power to take decisions on behalf of the Commission on applications for re-use is delegated to the Directors-General and Heads of Service. They shall take the necessary measures to ensure that the procedures in relation to documents for which they are responsible meet the requirements of this Decision. To this end, they shall designate an official to consider applications for re-use and coordinate the response of the Directorate-General or Service.

Article 12

Review

This Decision shall be reviewed three years after its entry into force. The review shall in particular look into the possible application of this Decision to the research results of the Joint Research Centre.

Article 13

Entry into force

This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

GUIDELINE OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK

of 7 April 2006

on the Eurosystem’s provision of reserve management services in euro to central banks and countries located outside the euro area and to international organisations

(ECB/2006/4)

(2006/294/EC)

THE GOVERNING COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN CENTRAL BANK,

Having regard to the Statute of the European System of Central Banks and of the European Central Bank, and in particular Article 12.1, Article 14.3 and Article 23 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Guideline ECB/2004/13 of 1 July 2004 on the Eurosystem’s provision of reserve management services in euro to central banks and countries located outside the euro area and to international organisations (1) requires amendment to accommodate changes to the definition of ‘reserves’ and the removal of the threshold below which no remuneration is offered on overnight credit balances held as a cash/investment service. Guideline ECB/2004/13 has already been amended once and should therefore be recast in the interests of clarity and transparency. |

Guideline ECB/2004/13 has already been amended once and should therefore be recast in the interests of clarity and transparency.

| (2) | Pursuant to Article 23 in conjunction with Article 43.4 of the Statute, the European Central Bank (ECB) and the national central banks of the Member States that have adopted the euro (hereinafter the ‘participating NCBs’) may establish relations with central banks in other countries and, where appropriate, with international organisations, and conduct all types of banking transactions in their relations with third countries and international organisations. |

| (3) | The Governing Council considers that the Eurosystem should act as a single system when providing Eurosystem reserve management services to such customers, irrespective of the Eurosystem member through which such services are provided. To this end, the Governing Council considers it necessary to adopt this Guideline to ensure, inter alia, that Eurosystem reserve management services are provided on a standardised basis under harmonised terms and conditions, that the ECB receives adequate information regarding these services, and that minimum common features required in contractual arrangements with customers are identified. |
