Notice concerning undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China

Change of address of a company that has offered an undertaking

(2017/C 391/04)

The undertakings offered in the framework of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China were accepted by Implementing Decision (EU) 2015/87 (1).

RZBC (Juxian) Co., Ltd, TARIC additional code A927, a company located in the People’s Republic of China, whose undertaking was accepted by Decision (EU) 2015/87, notified the Commission of its change of address from ‘No 209 Laiyang Road (West Side of North Chengyang Road), Juxian Economic Development Zone, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, PRC’ to ‘No 209 Laiyang Road, Juxian Economic Development Zone, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, PRC’.

The company argued that its change of address does not affect its right to continue to benefit from the terms of the undertaking accepted under its previous address.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Decision (EU) 2015/87.

Therefore, the reference in Article 1 of Decision (EU) 2015/87 to:

Manufactured by RZBC (Juxian) Co., Ltd – No 209 Laiyang Road (West Side of North Chengyang Road), Juxian Economic Development Zone, Rizhao City, Shandong Province, PRC and sold by its related sales company RZBC Imp. & Exp. Co., Ltd – No 66 Lvzhou South Road, Rizhao City, Shandong Province A927

In the past, there were attempts of potential competitors to set up alternative speed skating events. The Decision describes an unsuccessful entry attempt by Icederby. Icederby sought to organise a series of events (‘Icederby Grand Prix’) for six consecutive years from 2014-2020. In December 2011, it contacted the ISU to enter into a partnership agreement and to present its action plan. Initially, Icederby intended to allow betting in connection with its planned Grand Prix in host countries where betting is legal. In January 2012, the ISU updated its Code of Ethics which included the obligation to refrain from participating in all forms of betting. Two years later, Icederby informed the ISU that no betting would be organised in connection with the planned Dubai Icederby Grand Prix because betting is illegal in Dubai. Nevertheless, the ISU did not authorise the Dubai Icederby Grand Prix 2014 and informed its Members and all skaters that they would be subject to the lifetime ban established by the Eligibility rules if they took part in this event.
