COMMISSION DECISION
of 20 June 2006
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of silicon carbide originating in Romania
(2006/423/EC)
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 (1) (the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1)
On 17 May 2005, the Commission received a complaint concerning the alleged injurious dumping of imports of silicon carbide originating in Romania.
(2)
The complaint was lodged by the European Chemical Industry Council (CEFIC) on behalf of Community producers representing 100 % of the total Community production of silicon carbide pursuant to Articles 4(1) and 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
(3)
The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.
(4)
The Commission, by a notice (notice of initiation) published in the Official Journal of the European Union (2), accordingly initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of silicon carbide, currently classifiable within CN code 2849 20 00 and originating in Romania.
(5)
The Commission officially advised the exporting producers, importers and associations of importers or exporters known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, users, consumer organisations and the complainant Community producers of the initiation of the investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation and questionnaires were sent to all parties concerned.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(6)
On 1 March 2006 CEFIC formally withdrew its complaint.
(7)
In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(8)
The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Community interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(9)
The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Community of silicon carbide originating in Romania should be terminated without the imposition of anti-dumping measures,
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Sole Article
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of silicon carbide, currently classifiable within CN code 2849 20 00 and originating in Romania, is hereby terminated.
Done at Brussels, 20 June 2006.

COMMISSION DECISION
of 27 July 1982
establishing that the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Data Acquisition System, model MED-80' may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties
(82/550/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 of 10 July 1975 on the importation free of Common Customs Tariff duties of educational, scientific and cultural materials (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 608/82 (2),
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 of 12 December 1979 laying down provisions for the implementation of Regulation (EEC) No 1798/75 (3), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
Whereas, by letter dated 22 January 1982, the Federal Republic of Germany has requested the Commission to invoke the procedure provided for in Article 7 of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79 in order to determine whether or not the apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Data Acquisition System, model MED-80', ordered on 5 September 1980 and to be used for the investigation of the neuro-muscular system during athletic activities, should be considered as a scientific apparatus and, where the reply is in the affirmative, whether apparatus of equivalent scientific value is currently being manufactured in the Community;
Whereas, in accordance with the provisions of Article 7 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 2784/79, a group of experts composed of representatives of all the Member States met on 8 June 1982 within the framework of the Committee on Duty-Free Arrangements to examine the matter;
Whereas this examination showed that the apparatus in question is a data acquisition system; whereas it does not have the requisite objective characteristics making it specifically suited to scientific research; whereas, moreover, apparatus of the same kind are principally used for non-scientific activities; whereas its use in the case in question could not alone confer upon it the character of a scientific apparatus; whereas it therefore cannot be regarded as a scientific apparatus; whereas the duty-free admission of the apparatus in question is therefore not justified,

The apparatus described as 'Nicolet - Data Acquisition System, model MED-80', which is the subject of an application by the Federal Republic of Germany of 22 January 1982, may not be imported free of Common Customs Tariff duties.

However, there is provision for adjusting the criteria for determining the world market price for ginned cotton to reflect differences justified by the quality of the product delivered and the offers and quotations concerned. Those adjustments are specified in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1591/2001.
(3) The application of the above criteria gives the world market price for unginned cotton determined hereinafter,
