Notice of initiation of an expiry review of the antidumping measures applicable to imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India

(2006/C 197/02)

Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry (1) of the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India, (‘country concerned’), the Commission has received a request for review pursuant to Article 11 (2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (‘the basic Regulation’) (2), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 2117/2005 (3).

1.   Request for review

The request was lodged on 23 May 2006 on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 50 %, of the total Community production of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film.

2.   Product

The product under review is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India (‘the product concerned’), currently classifiable within CN codes ex 3920 62 19 and ex 3920 62 90. These CN codes are given only for information.

3.   Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001, as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 366/2006 (4).

4.   Grounds for the review

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

The applicants allege continuation/likelihood of continuation of dumping and have established dumping for India on the comparison of a constructed normal value with the export prices of the product concerned to the Community.

On this basis, the dumping margin calculated is significant.

The applicants have provided evidence that imports of the product concerned from India have increased overall in absolute terms and in terms of market share.

It is also alleged that the volumes and the prices of the imported product concerned have continued, among other consequences, to have a negative impact on the market share held, the quantities sold and the level of prices charged by the Community industry, resulting in substantial adverse effects on the overall performance, the financial and the employment situation of the Community industry.

In addition, the applicants allege that any increase of imports at dumped prices from the country concerned would likely lead to further injury of the Community industry should measures be allowed to lapse.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence 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.

5.1.   Procedure for the determination of likelihood of dumping and injury

The investigation will determine whether the expiry of the measures would be likely, or unlikely, to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.

(a)   Sampling

In view of the apparent number of parties involved in this proceeding, the Commission may decide to apply sampling, in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

(iv)   Final selection of the samples

All interested parties wishing to submit any relevant information regarding the selection of the sample must do so within the time limit set in point 6(b)(ii).

The Commission intends to make the final selection of the samples after having consulted the parties concerned that have expressed their willingness to be included in the sample.

Companies included in the samples must reply to a questionnaire within the time limit set in point 6 (b)(iii) and must co-operate within the framework of the investigation.

If sufficient co-operation is not forthcoming, the Commission may base its findings, in accordance with Articles 17(4) and 18 of the basic Regulation, on the facts available. A finding based on facts available may be less advantageous to the party concerned, as explained in point 8.

(b)   Questionnaires

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the sampled Community industry and to any association of producers in the Community, to the sampled exporters/producers in India to any association of exporters/producers, to the sampled importers, to any association of importers named in the request or which co-operated in the investigation leading to the measures subject to the present review, and to the authorities of the exporting country concerned.

5.2.   Procedure for the assessment of Community interest

In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation and in the event that the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury is confirmed, a determination will be made as to whether to maintain, or repeal the anti-dumping measures would not be against the Community interest. For this reason the Community industry, importers, their representative associations, representative users and representative consumer organisations, provided that they prove that there is an objective link between their activity and the product concerned, may, within the general time limits set in point 6(a)(ii), make themselves known and provide the Commission with information. The parties which have acted in conformity with the previous sentence may request a hearing, setting the particular reasons why they should be heard, within the time limit set in point 6(a)(iii). It should be noted that any information submitted pursuant to Article 21 will only be taken into account if supported by factual evidence at the time of submission.

6.   Time limits

(a)   General time limits
