Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of fatty alcohols and their blends originating in India: modification of the corporate name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

2013/C 294/11

Imports of fatty alcohols and their blends originating in India are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1138/2011 (1).

VVF Limited, a company located in the Republic of India, whose exports to the Union of fatty alcohols and their blends are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of EUR 46,98 per tonne net, pursuant to Article 1(2) of the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the European Commission that on 1 June 2012, the operations pertinent to the production and exports of fatty alcohols and their blends have been moved to another legal entity within the existing group with the name VVF (India) Limited.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1138/2011. Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1138/2011 to ‘VVF Ltd’ should be read as ‘VVF (India) Ltd’, with the corporate address unchanged.

The TARIC additional code B110 previously attributed to VVF Ltd shall apply to VVF (India) Ltd.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 30 of Directive 2004/17/EC

Request from a contracting entity

2013/C 382/08

On 21 November 2013, the Commission received a request under Article 30(5) of Directive 2004/17/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 31 March 2004 coordinating the procurement procedures of entities operating in the water, energy, transport and postal services sectors (1). The first working day following receipt of the request is 22 November 2013.

This request, made by Magyar Posta Zrt., concerns certain postal services carried out in Hungary. Article 30 provides that the Directive does not apply where the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not limited. These conditions are evaluated solely for the purposes of Directive 2004/17/EC and are without prejudice to the application of competition rules.

The Commission has a period of 3 months, as from the working day referred to above, within which to take a decision on this request. The period therefore ends on 24 February 2014.

This period may be extended by 3 months. Notice of any such extension must be published.

Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning the same activities in Hungary, submitted before the period opened for this request expires, will not be regarded as subject to new procedures and will be dealt with as part of this request.
