Notice concerning the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of citric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China

Change of address of one company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2016/C 44/05)

Imports of citric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China are subject to an anti-dumping duty imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82 (1).

Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry Co. Ltd, TARIC additional code A880, a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 15,3 % following Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82, notified the Commission of its change of address from ‘No 106 Luzhong Large East Street, Laiwu City, Shandong Province, PRC’ to ‘No 89 Changjiang Street, Laiwu City, Shandong Province, PRC’.

The company argued that its change of address does not affect its right to continue to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty rate.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82.

Therefore, the reference in Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82 to:

| Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry Co., Ltd — No 106 Luzhong Large East Street, Laiwu City, Shandong Province, PRC | A880 |
| --- | --- |

Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry Co., Ltd — No 106 Luzhong Large East Street, Laiwu City, Shandong Province, PRC

should be read as:

(3)  This group is specific to the Netherlands. It involves gases with a low Wobbe index which may contain a relatively high proportion of higher hydrocarbons and carbon dioxide. It was not included in annex B of EN 437. This nameless specific group of low calorific gas will not be supplied before 1 January 2022 at the earliest.

(4)  The safe operation of gas appliances in this group must be guaranteed for gases which contain a high level of carbon dioxide, molecular hydrogen or higher hydrocarbons. A higher Wobbe index may apply for users in exceptional geographical locations, which effectively means that a different gas group is applicable.

(5)  Supply pressures indicate the gas pressure, after the gas has passed through any gas pressure regulator, for the gas meter installed on the premises of the end consumer. Supply pressures to industrial consumers may be considerably higher.
