Both Chiquita and Pacific are among the largest suppliers of bananas in Europe and form part of large multinational groups. The banana business in Southern Europe is very concentrated and operates in two layers — green (un-ripened) bananas and (yellow) ripened bananas. The size of the banana business in Italy, Portugal and Greece is estimated to have been around EUR 525 million in 2004 and 2005. The cartel has covered around 50 % of the market in Italy, above 30 % in 2004 and around 40 % in 2005 in Portugal, and around 65 % in 2004 and around 60 % in 2005 in Greece. Chiquita and Pacific were almost exclusively selling green bananas to independent ripeners, who in turn sold these bananas yellow about one week later to customers such as supermarkets. Other large banana suppliers in Southern Europe were mostly selling yellow bananas.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in respect of imports into the Union of certain finished polyester filament fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

2012/C 110/05

Imports of certain finished polyester filament fabrics originating in the People’s Republic of China were subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1487/2005 (1). The measures expired on 17 September 2010.

Shaoxing Zhengda Group Co., Ltd, a company located in the People’s Republic of China, whose exports to the Union of certain finished polyester filament fabrics were subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 14,1 % by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on 12 April 2010 it changed its name into Zhengda United Holding Group 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 Shaoxing Zhengda Group Co., Ltd during the period starting on the name change date, 12 April 2010, and ending on the expiry date of the measures, 17 September 2010.

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 1487/2005. Therefore, the reference to:

Shaoxing Zhengda Group Co., Ltd

should be read as:

Zhengda United Holding Group Co., Ltd

in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1487/2005.

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

Request from a contracting entity

2012/C 131/07

On 29 March 2012, 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. The first working day following receipt of the request was 30 March 2012.

This request, from EniPower SpA, concerns the production and sale of electricity in Italy. The abovementioned Article 30 provides that Directive 2004/17/EC is not applicable when the activity in question is directly exposed to competition on markets to which access is not restricted. 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 three months commencing on the working day referred to above to reach a decision on this request. The period therefore ends on 2 July 2012.

This period may be extended by three months. Any such extension must be published.

Pursuant to the second subparagraph of Article 30(6), further requests concerning the production and sale of electricity in Italy submitted before the expiry of the period opened in respect of this request will not be considered as new procedures and will be treated in the context of this request.
