of 6 November 2019

amending Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1313/2014 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) originating in the People’s Republic of China following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas:

(1) On 29 August 2018, the Commission was contacted by Zhejiang Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd., requesting a name change.

(2) Zhejiang Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd indicated that it changed its name to Zhejiang Juzhou Foods Co., Ltd.

(3) The Commission examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1313/2014 (2).

(4) Additionally, Zhejiang Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd. notified the Commission that it was no longer related to Hubei Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd.

(5) During the original investigation, the Commission found a weighted average dumping margin, expressed as a percentage of the CIF Community frontier price duty unpaid of 136,3 % for Zhejiang Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd and its related producer Hubei Xinshiji Foods Co (3). Anti-dumping measures of 490,7 EUR/tonne were imposed on Zhejiang Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd and its related producer Hubei Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd under TARIC code A888.

(6) Having assessed the evidence provided to it, the Commission accepted that there was indeed sufficient evidence to no longer deem Zhejiang Xinshiji Foods Co., Ltd. and Hubei Xinshiji Foods Co. related for the purposes of EU anti-dumping law.

(7) To ensure the effective collection of the anti-dumping duties in place, the Commission considered it was necessary to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1313/2014 accordingly to reflect the individual dumping margins of these two producers. After disclosure to the parties concerned, no comments were received.

(8) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036,
