Notice as provided for in Article 7(8) of Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 relating to the establishment of administrative cooperation between Slovakia and the European Community

(Published under Article 7(8) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001 (OJ L 156, 13.6.2001, p. 9))

(2003/C 34/03)

The Commission hereby states that Slovakia has sent all the relevant information on checking operations (the forms used for certificates of conformity, stamp imprints, the names and signatures of the authorised inspectors) under the administrative cooperation provided for in Article 7(8) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1148/2001, as amended by Regulation (EC) No 2379/2001, and established between Slovakia and the European Community. The Commission forwarded this information to the Member States' coordination authorities on 31 January 2003.

Commission Regulation (EC) No 2379/2002 shall apply therefore from the date on which this Notice is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

(Publication of titles and references of harmonized standards under the directive)

>TABLE>

General remark:

when there is a stroke in the column 4 (reference of the superseded standard), it means that the referenced standard may not be used without amendment or particular part for EMC purpose.

Note 1:

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal ("dow"), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 2.1:

The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note 2.2:

The new standard has a broader scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note 2.3:

The new standard has a narrower scope than the superseded standard. On the date stated the (partially) superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for those products that fall within the scope of the new standard. Presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive for products that still fall within the scope of the (partially) superseded standard, but that do not fall within the scope of the new standard, is unaffected.

Note 3:

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

Note 6:

EN 60947-1:1999 does not give presumption of conformity without another part of the standard.

Note 7:

EN 60730-1:2000 does not give presumption of conformity without another part of the standard.

Note 8:

EN 55012 is applicable for giving presumption of conformity under directive 89/336/EEC for those vehicles, boats and internal combustion engine-driven devices that are not within the scope of directives 95/54/EC, 97/24/EC or 2000/2/EC.

Notice of the impending expiry of certain anti-dumping measures

(2003/C 100/04)

1. The Commission gives notice that, unless a review is initiated in accordance with the following procedure, the anti-dumping measures mentioned below will expire on the date mentioned in the table below, as provided in Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995(1) on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community.

2. Procedure

Community producers may lodge a written request for a review. This request must contain sufficient evidence that the removal of the measures would be likely to result in a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury.

Should the Commission decide to review the measures concerned, importers, exporters, representatives of the exporting country and Community producers will then be provided with the opportunity to amplify, rebut or comment on the matters set out in the review request.

3. Time limit

Community producers may submit a written request for a review on the above basis, to reach the European Commission, Directorate-General for Trade (Division B-1), J-79 5/16, B-1049 Brussels(2) at any time from the date of the publication of the present notice but no later than three months before the date mentioned in the table below.

Notice concerning the countervailing duty and anti-dumping duty in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in India: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual countervailing and an individual anti-dumping duty rate from which an undertaking was accepted

(2003/C 116/02)

Imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in India are subject to a definitive countervailing duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000(1) and to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000(2), as amended by Regulation (EC) No 496/2002(3).

The exports to the Community of certain polyethylene terephthalate of Futura Polymers Limited, a company located in India, are subject to an individual countervailing duty rate of EUR 0 per tonne. Following a "new exporter" review investigation, Futura Polymers Limited has been granted an individual anti-dumping duty of EUR 161,2 per tonne by Regulation (EC) No 496/2002. An undertaking offered by Futura Polymers Limited was accepted by Commission Decision 2002/232/EC(4) amending Decision 2000/745/EC(5).

Futura Polymers Limited has now informed the Commission that it has changed its name, as from 15 November 2002, into Futura Polyesters Limited. The company has asked the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual countervailing duty rate and the individual anti-dumping duty rate applied to the company under its previous name of Futura Polymers Limited nor the right to benefit from the undertaking given by the company under its previous name of Futura Polymers Limited.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which demonstrates that all the company's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of certain polyethylene terephthalate are unaffected by the change of name. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 and Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 as amended by Regulation (EC) No 496/2002 nor the findings of Decision 2000/745/EC as amended by Decision 2002/232/EC. In view of the absence of any substantive change of circumstances, the reference to Futura Polymers Limited should be read as Futura Polyesters Limited, with registered office at 13 Mathew Road, Mumbai, in Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000, in Articles 1(3) and 2(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 and in Article 1 of Decision 2000/745/EC.

The TARIC additional code A184 previously attributed to Futura Polymers Limited shall apply to Futura Polyesters Limited.

Note 4:

EN 301 489-1 contains the common EMC emission and immunity requirements for all radio equipment and must be used together with the appropriate radio part of this standard, to demonstrate presumption of conformity to Article 3.1.b of the Directive.

Note:

- In addition standards published under Directives 73/23/EEC and 89/336/EEC may be used to demonstrate compliance with Articles 3.1.a and 3.1.b of Directive 1999/5/EC.

- Products are presumed to comply with the Directive when they meet the requirements within the usage conditions for which they are intended.
