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 notmembers of the European Community(
1), and in particular Article 8
thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after
consulting the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A.PREVIOUSPROCEDURE
(1)On 19 November 1998, an anti-dumping proceeding was
initiated by the Commission(2) on imports of certain seamless
pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel (‘the product
concerned’) originating, inter alia , in Ukraine.
(2)This proceeding resulted in an anti-dumping duty being imposed
by Council Regulation (EC) No 348/2000(3) in February 2000 in
order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.
(3)In parallel, by Decision 2000/137/EC(4), the Commission
accepted a joint price undertaking up to a certain volumethreshold incorporating measures aimed at monitoring the under-taking from three Ukrainian exporting producers,
Dnepropetrovsk Tube Works (‘DTW’), Nikopol Pivdennotrubny
Works (transferred later to Nikopolsky Seamless Tube Plant,‘Niko Tube’(
5)) and Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant
(‘NTRP’). Accordingly, imports of the product concerned fromthese exporting producers were exempted from the said anti-dumping duty.
B.VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF THE JOINT UNDER-
TAKING
(4)DTW, Niko Tube and NTRP advised the Commission that they
wished to withdraw this joint undertaking. Accordingly, byCommission Decision 2002/669/EC(
6), the names of these
companies have been deleted from the list of companies fromwhich undertakings are accepted in Article 1 of Decision 2000/
137/EC.
C.AMENDMENTOFREGULATION(EC)No348/2000
(5)In view of the above and pursuant to Article 8(9) of Council
Regulation (EC) No 384/96, Article 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No348/2000 should be amended accordingly, and the exportingproducers should be subject to the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty for the Ukraine as set in Article 1(2) of Regula-tion (EC) No 348/2000 (38,5 %),2002R1515 — EN — 25.08.2002 — 000.001 — 2
