Notice pursuant to Article 19(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 of the initiation of an investigation with respect to the effective implementation of certain human rights conventions in Sri Lanka

(2008/C 265/01)

On 14 October 2008, the Commission adopted the Decision (1) providing for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 18(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 (2) with respect to the effective implementation of certain human rights conventions in Sri Lanka. The investigation shall establish whether the national legislation of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka incorporating the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Convention on the Rights of the Child is effectively implemented.

Under Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 980/2005 applying a scheme of generalised tariff preferences, when the Commission has received information and considers that there are sufficient grounds for an investigation that may justify temporary withdrawal, it may decide to initiate an investigation.

The Commission has received information, including reports, statements of the United Nations (UN), as well as information from other relevant publicly available sources, including non-governmental organisations, that indicate that the national legislation of the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka incorporating international human rights conventions, in particular the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, is not being effectively implemented.

The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, the Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, and the Convention on the Rights of the Child, are listed as core human rights conventions in Annex III, Part A of Regulation (EC) No 980/2005. The effective implementation of these Conventions was therefore one of the criteria that the Democratic Socialist Republic of Sri Lanka was required to meet before it was included in the list of beneficiaries of the special incentive arrangement for good governance and sustainable development.

The Commission has examined the information received and found that it is necessary to open an investigation to determine whether the legislation of Sri Lanka on the recognition and protection of fundamental human rights is effectively implemented. This would further allow to determine whether a temporary withdrawal of the special incentive arrangement is justified.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of cotton-type bed linen originating in Pakistan: change of the address of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty

(2008/C 304/08)

Imports of cotton-type bed linen, originating in Pakistan are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 397/2004 (1) (‘Regulation (EC) No 397/2004’).

A.B. Exports (PVT) Ltd, a company located in Pakistan, whose exports to the Community of cotton-type bed linen are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 5,8 % imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 397/2004, has informed the Commission that on 5 March 2008, it changed its address.

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:

Off. No 6, Ground Floor Business Center, New Civil Lines Faisalabad

The company submitted sufficient evidence to establish that the change of their registered address was due to closure of a city office and a transfer of its activity to an existing production facility of the company.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 397/2004. Therefore, the reference, in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 397/2004, to:

A.B. Exports (PVT) Ltd Off. No 6, Ground Floor Business Center, New Civil Lines Faisalabad

should be read as:

A.B. Exports (PVT) Ltd Lasani Pulli, Near Khayaban Gardens Sargodha Road Faisalabad

LANDSBANKI ISLANDS HF

On 5 December 2008 pursuant to an order of the District Court of Reykjavik, a moratorium on payments was authorised in respect of Landsbanki Islands hf. (‘Landsbanki’) pursuant to Article 100a of Act No 161/2002 on Financial Undertakings, Landsbanki having satisfied the court as to the causes of its financial difficulties, what they entail and how it intends to reorganise its finances and that it meets the conditions for a moratorium on payments. Supreme Court Attorney Mr Kristinn Bjarnason has been appointed to assist Landsbanki in connection therewith. The effect of the order is that legal proceedings may not be brought against Landsbanki while it is in debt moratorium unless expressly permitted by law or if the action constitutes criminal proceedings involving penalty demands.

The authorisation in respect of the moratorium is in effect until 26 February 2009 at 14.00 hours when the matter will be readdressed by the District Court of Reykjavik at Laekjatorg Square, Reykjavik, Iceland. Creditors of Landsbanki are entitled to make representations at this hearing.
