COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1521/2000
of 10 July 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 imposing a definitive anti-dump-
ing duty on certain imports of flat pallets of wood originating in the
Republic of Poland
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(4) thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 (2), and in particular Article
4(1) and (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting
the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE
(1) The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2334/97, imposed definitive
anti-dumping duties on certain imports of flat pallets of wood fallingwithin CN code ex4415 20 20 originating in the Republic of Poland
and accepted undertakings offered from certain producers in con-
nection with these imports. Sampling was applied to Polish producers/exporters and individual duties ranging from 4,0 % to 10,6 % wereimposed on the companies in the sample, while other cooperating
companies not included in the sample received a weighted average
duty of 6,3 %. A duty of 10,6 % was imposed on companies whicheither did not make themselves known or did not cooperate in the
investigation. The producers from which undertakings were accepted
were exempted from anti-dumping duties with regard to imports of onespecific pallet type, the EUR-pallet, which is the only pallet typecovered by the undertakings.
(2) Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 stipulates that any party
which provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that:
— it did not export to the Community or produce wooden pallets
described in Article 1(1) of that Regulation during the investi-
gation period,
— it is not related to any of the producers or exporters in Poland
which are subject to the anti-dumping duties imposed by that
Regulation,
— it has actually exported to the Community the goods concerned
after the investigation period, or it has entered into any irrevocable
contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to theCommunity;
then that Regulation may be amended by granting that party the duty
rate applicable to cooperating producers which were not in the sample,i.e. 6,3 %.
(3) Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 provides furthermore that
any party which met the criteria set out in Article 4(1) thereof may also
be exempted from the payment of the anti-dumping duty if anundertaking with regard to the so-called EUR-pallet is accepted from
such party.!B
(1) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98
(OJ L 128, 30.4.1998, p. 18).
(2) OJ L 324, 27.11.1997, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No
2048/1999 (OJ L 255, 30.9.1999, p. 1).2000R1521 — EN — 15.07.2000 — 000.001 — 2
(4) The Council, by Regulations (EC) No 2079/98 (1) and (EC) No
2048/99 (2) amended Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 as regards its
Annexes I and II.
B. NEW EXPORTERS’ REQUEST
(5) Eight new Polish exporting producers having requested the same
treatment as the companies which cooperated in the originalinvestigation but were not included in the sample, have provided, on
request, evidence showing that they meet the requirements set out in
Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97. The evidence provided bythese applicant companies is considered sufficient to allow Regulation(EC) No 2334/97 to be amended by adding these eight exporting
producers to Annex I of the said Regulation. Annex I specifies the
exporting producers which are subject to the weighted average duty of6,3 %.
(6) Six of the eight Polish exporting producers which will receive the
weighted average duty of 6,3 %, have also offered undertakings withregard to the EUR-pallet which were accepted by CommissionDecision 2000/437/EC (
3). Consequently, these six companies should
be added to Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 which contains a
list of companies from which the Commission has accepted under-takings with regard to imports of the EUR-pallet and to which the duty
does not, therefore, apply in this respect.
C. WITHDRA W AL OF UNDERTAKING
(7) Two Polish exporting producers, P .P .H. ‘Pamadex’ and P .H.U.
‘Akropol’, from which the Commission accepted an undertaking by
Regulation (EC) No 1023/97, have stated that they do not produce the
product concerned any longer. Therefore, the Commission informedthem that it is intended to remove them from the list of companiesfrom which an undertaking was accepted. The two companies did not
object to this course of action. It should also be noted that those two
companies could again offer an undertaking should they decide toresume production and exports of the EUR pallets.
D. CHANGE OF ADDRESS
(8) A Polish exporting producer, Z.P .H. ‘Palettenwerk’ — K. Kozik Bystra
Podhalanska which is subject to an individual anti-dumping dutypursuant to Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 has informed the
Commission services that its address has changed. Hence, Article 1 of
Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 must be amended accordingly,
