Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain plastic sacks and bags originating, inter alia, in Thailand: proposal to accept a request to change the name of a company subject to an average anti-dumping duty for cooperating companies

2010/C 206/05

Imports of certain plastic sacks and bags originating, inter alia, in Thailand are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 (1) (Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006).

Ziplas International Co., Ltd., a company located in Thailand, whose exports to the Union of certain plastic sacks and bags are subject to an average anti-dumping duty for cooperating companies of 7,9 % imposed by Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006, has informed the Commission that as a result of it being bought by Illinois Toolworks Incorporated, on 6 March 2007 its name was changed to ITW Minigrip (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 Ziplas International Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information provided and has concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006. Therefore, the reference in Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1425/2006 to:

Ziplas International Co., Ltd.

should be read as:

ITW Minigrip (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The TARIC additional code A772 previously attributed to Ziplas International Co., Ltd. shall apply to ITW Minigrip (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in Malaysia: change of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

2010/C 266/04

Imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating in Malaysia are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (1) (‘Regulation (EC) No 192/2007’).

Hualon Corporation (M) Sdn. Bhd. (‘Hualon’), a company located in Malaysia, whose exports to the Union of certain polyethylene terephthalate are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of EUR 36,0 per tonne imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007, has informed the Commission that after being put into receivership, on 23 July 2008 all its Malaysian assets and liabilities were taken over by Recron (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (‘Recron’), who became the legal successor.

Hualon has argued that the take over and the change of name does not affect the activities of the company with regard to the product concerned and therefore the right of Recron to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty rate applied to Hualon by Regulation (EC) No 192/2007.

The Commission has examined the information provided and, considering that the company requesting a name change has been taken over by a company which did not produce the product concerned before, has concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007. Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 to:

Hualon Corp. (M) Sdn. Bhd.

should be read as:

Recron (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

The TARIC additional code A186 previously attributed to Hualon Corp. (M) Sdn. Bhd. shall apply to Recron (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.
