Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain tube or pipe fittings originating, inter alia, in Thailand: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2007/C 152/06)

Imports of certain tube or pipe-fittings, of iron or steel, originating, inter alia, in Thailand are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003 (1), as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1496/2004 (2).

Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd., a company located in Thailand, whose exports to the Community of certain tube or pipe-fittings of iron or steel, are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 7,4 % by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on 1 August 2006 it changed its name to Awaji Materia (Thailand) Co., Ltd. The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous name of Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003 as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1496/2004. Therefore, the reference to Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd, Samutprakarn should be read as Awaji Materia (Thailand) Co., Ltd, Samutprakarn in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 964/2003.

The Taric additional code 8850 previously attributed to Awaji Sangyo (Thailand) Co., Ltd, shall apply to Awaji Materia (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
