amending Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables originating in the Czech Republic, Russia, Thailand and Turkey

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to 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 8 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE

(1) On 5 May 2000, an anti-dumping proceeding(2) was initiated by the Commission on imports of certain iron or steel ropes and cables ("the product concerned") originating, inter alia, in Turkey.

(2) This proceeding resulted in an anti-dumping duty being imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001(3) in August 2001 in order to eliminate the injurious effects of dumping.

(3) Provisional measures were imposed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 230/2001(4). In parallel, the Commission accepted, inter alia, a price undertaking from the Turkish exporting producer Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayii AS by Article 2(1). Imports of products produced and directly exported by that company were exempted from the anti-dumping duty by Article 2(2).

B. VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL OF THE JOINT UNDERTAKING

(4) Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayii AS advised the Commission that they wished to withdraw this undertaking. Accordingly, by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2303/2002(5), the name of this company has been deleted from the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 230/2001.

C. AMENDMENT OF REGULATION (EC) No 1601/2001

(5) In view of the above and pursuant to Article 8(9) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96, Article 2(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 should be amended accordingly, and goods manufactured by Celik Halat ve Tel Sanayii AS should be subject to the appropriate rate of anti-dumping duty for that company as set in Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 (31,0 %),

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2336/2002

of 23 December 2002

amending Regulation (EC) No 1367/2002 introducing preventive distillation as provided for in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1493/1999 in Portugal

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 2585/2001(2), and in particular Article 33 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) Under the preventive distillation introduced in Portugal, producers are required to deliver their wine for distillation and distillers are required to deliver the alcohol obtained to the intervention agency before a specified date.

(2) However, the public storage facilities in Portugal are full and the public authorities have been unable to accept deliveries of alcohol from the distillers, with the result that the storage facilities of certain distillers are now also full. This prevents them from accepting delivery of new wine for distillation before the date laid down in the Regulation.

(3) To rectify this situation, the date by which wine must be delivered for distillation and the date by which alcohol must be delivered to public storage should be postponed for one month.

(4) Since the deadline for delivery for distillation fell on 30 November 2002, this Regulation should apply from 1 December 2002.

(5) 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

Article 4(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1367/2002, is hereby replaced by the following:

"3. The wine must be delivered to the distilleries by 31 December 2002 at the latest. The alcohol obtained must be delivered to the intervention agency by 28 February 2003 at the latest."

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

It shall apply from 1 December 2002.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

(1) Negotiations with a view to adopting trade agreements between the Community and Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Slovenia establishing certain concessions in the form of Community tariff quotas for certain agricultural products and the total liberalisation of trade in other agricultural products have recently been concluded. The abolition of refunds in the cereals sector is one of the concessions provided for. The abolition relates in particular to oats.
