New national side of euro circulation coins

(2007/C 76/02)

Image

Euro circulation coins have legal tender status throughout the euro area. The Commission publishes all new euro coin designs (1) with a view to informing anyone required to handle coins in the course of their work and the public at large. In accordance with the Council conclusions of 8 December 2003 (2), Member States and countries that have concluded a Monetary Agreement with the Community providing for the issuance of euro circulation coins are allowed to issue certain quantities of commemorative euro circulation coins on condition that not more than one new coin design is issued per country per year and that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the technical features of normal euro circulation coins, but bear a commemorative design on the obverse national side.

Issuing State: Germany

Subject of commemoration: Mecklenburg-Vorpommern

Factual description of the design: The inner part of the coin shows a representation of the Schwerin Castle. The word ‘Mecklenburg-Vorpommern ’is inscribed underneath the castle and the engraver's initials ‘HH ’appear at the bottom of the inner part of the coin. One of the letters ‘A’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘G ’or ‘J ’appears as the mintmark above the design. Twelve stars form a semicircle on the upper part of the outer ring, interrupted by the year of mintage ‘2007 ’at the top of the coin. The words ‘Bundesrepublik Deutschland ’form a semicircle on the lower part of the outer ring.

Issue volume: 30 million coins

Iissue date:

Edge lettering: ‘Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit ’and the federal eagle

(2)  See conclusions of the General Affairs Council of 8 December 2003 on changes in the design of national sides of euro coins. See also Commission Recommendation of 29 September 2003 on a common practice for changes to the design of national obverse sides of euro circulation coins (OJ L 264, 15.10.2003, p. 38).

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain finished polyester filament apparel fabrics originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2007/C 76/06)

Imports of certain finished polyester filament apparel fabrics originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China, are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1487/2005 (1).

Shaoxing County Xingxin Textile Co., Ltd, a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose exports to the Community of certain finished polyester filament apparel fabrics are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 14,1 % by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on May 31, 2006 it has changed its name into Xingxin Holding Group Co., Ltd. The company has asked the Commission to confirm 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 Shaoxing County Xingxin Textile Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 1487/2005. Therefore, the reference to Shaoxing County Xingxin Textile Co., Ltd should be read as Xingxin Holding Group Co., Ltd. in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1487/2005.

The Taric additional code A617 previously attributed to Shaoxing County Xingxin Textile Co., Ltd shall apply to Xingxin Holding Group Co., Ltd.
