Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of polyester staple fibres originating, inter alia , in the Republic of Korea: modification of the address of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2004/C 208/02)

Imports of polyester staple fibres originating, inter alia, in the Republic of Korea are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000 (1).

Huvis Corporation, a company located in the Republic of Korea, whose exports to the Community of polyester staple fibres are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 4,8 % by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that it has changed its address to 151-7, Samsung-Dong, Gangnam-Gu, Seoul, Korea. The company has argued that the change of address does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous address of 77-1, Garak-dong, Songpaku, Seoul, Korea.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000. Therefore, the reference to Huvis Corporation, 77-1, Garak-dong, Songpaku, Seoul, Korea should be read as Huvis Corporation, 151-7, Samsung-Dong, Gangnam-Gu, Seoul, Korea in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2852/2000.

The Taric additional code A 151 previously attributed to Huvis Corporation, 77-1, Garak-dong, Songpaku, Seoul, Korea shall apply to Huvis Corporation, 151-7, Samsung-Dong, Gangnam-Gu, Seoul, Korea.

NOTICE TO IMPORTERS

(2004/C 115/13)

Preferential imports of canned tuna fish from Turkey

By a notice to importers published in the Official Journal of the European Communities C 366 of 20.12.2000, p. 16, the Commission informed operators that there were reasonable doubts concerning the proper application of the preferential treatment enjoyed by Turkey and the applicability of the evidence of origin presented in the European Community for tuna products under tariff heading 16.04 coming from Turkey. The reasonable doubt stemmed from the surveillance operations carried out and the finding by the Commission that administrative cooperation between the Turkish and Community authorities were not applied properly.

The rules of origin and related methods of administrative co-operation are laid down in Protocol 3 of Decision 1/98 of the EC-Turkey Association Council on trade regime for agricultural products. Turkey has recently introduced changes in its national legislation and operational practices, in order to comply with these provisions. In addition, the Turkish competent authorities have committed themselves to ensure an adequate monitoring of their functioning and to perform the necessary controls.

The conditions for a proper functioning of the administrative co-operation in that field having thus been restored, the notice to importers concerning tuna imports from Turkey, of 20 December 2000, is withdrawn.
