Council Regulation (EC) No 268/2002
of 12 February 2002
terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of polysulphide polymers originating in the United States of America
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
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), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Regulation (EC) No 1965/98(2) imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on polysulphide polymers originating in the United States of America in September 1998.
(2) These duties were imposed following a complaint lodged by Akcros Chemicals GmbH & Co. KG, Germany, the sole Community producer of polysulphide polymers.
B. WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
(3) By a letter of 20 July 2001 to the Commission, Akcros Chemicals GmbH & Co. KG formally withdrew its complaint and requested that the measures be repealed. This request was based on the fact that the sole exporting producer in the relevant country had decided to cease production of the product concerned.
(4) In accordance with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, a proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Community interest.
(5) The Commission announced its intention to investigate whether the measures should be retained in a Notice published on 4 October 2001(3). Two responses were received following this Notice from the user industry, both supporting the repealing of the measures. In addition, the sole Community producer confirmed its position that the measures were no longer appropriate. It is, therefore, considered that termination of the proceeding would not be against the Community interest.
(6) It is therefore concluded that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning polysulphide polymers originating in the United States of America should be terminated,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Sole Article
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of polysulphide polymers currently classifiable within CN code ex 4002 99 90 and originating in the United States of America is hereby terminated.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

amending Regulation (EC) No 786/2001 opening crisis distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for table wines in Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 of 17 May 1999 on the common organisation of the market in wine(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2826/2000(2), and in particular Articles 30 and 33 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 786/2001(3) opened crisis distillation under Article 30 of Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 for a maximum of 2,6 million hectolitres of table wine in Spain.
(2) Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 786/2001 provides that the alcohol obtained is to be delivered to the intervention agency as from 16 October 2001 only. Furthermore, that Article no longer allows distillers to be paid an advance on the price of the alcohol to be delivered. In the light of experience gained and depending on budget funds available, the possibility of paying an advance to distillers should be reintroduced and the restriction requiring alcohol to be delivered to the intervention agency from 16 October only should be done away with. For that reason, the relevant provisions of the regulations opening crisis distillation measures prior to that for Spain should be incorporated.
(3) These changes must apply from 15 June 2001, the date on which distillation contracts are approved and distillation operations can commence.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Wine,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EC) No 786/2001 is hereby amended as follows:

- Articles 66 and 67 with respect to the advance provided for in Article 6(2) of this Regulation."
2. The following sentence is added to Article 4(3): "The alcohol produced must be delivered to the intervention agency by 31 December 2001 at the latest."
3. The last sentence of Article 6(1) is deleted.
4. The following sentence is added to Article 6(2): "Distillers may receive an advance on that amount equal to EUR 0,931 per % vol per hectolitre. In that case, the advance shall be deducted from the price actually paid."
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
