Notice from the Commission on the carry-forward of sugar and isoglucose produced in excess of the quota during the 2016/17 marketing year

(2015/C 152/04)

1. The aim of this Notice is to communicate the Commission’s view on the interpretation and application of certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). This Notice does not set out to either revise that Regulation or to encroach on the Court of Justice’s jurisdiction in matters of interpretation.

2. In accordance with Article 141 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, each undertaking may decide to carry forward all or part of its production in excess of its sugar quota, its isoglucose quota or its inulin syrup quota to be treated as part of the next marketing year’s production. The quantities thus carried forward shall be deemed to be the first quantities produced under the quota of the following marketing year.

3. The quota system referred to in Article 134(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 shall apply until the end of the 2016/17 marketing year as provided for in Article 124 and Article 232(3) of that Regulation. Consequently, there will be no quota system applicable to the sugar sector in the 2017/18 marketing year.

4. Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 does not establish any specific provisions or provide for particular derogations regarding the application of the carry-forward rules provided for in Article 141 of that Regulation at the end of the quota regime.

5. The Commission considers that Article 141(1), in conjunction with Article 124 and Article 232(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, allows operators to decide to carry forward quantities of sugar and isoglucose produced in excess of the quotas for the 2016/17 marketing year to the 2017/18 marketing year, even if production is no longer subject to quota in 2017/18.

6. The Commission will closely monitor the effects of the carry-forward and will take the appropriate measures should the use of the carry-forward significantly disturb or threaten to disturb the market.

NOTICE TO IMPORTERS

Imports of open mesh fabrics of glass fibres into the European Union from GSP beneficiary countries belonging to the regional cumulation group I and group III

(2015/C 314/06)

The European Commission informs European Union operators that there are reasonable doubts concerning the proper application of the preferential treatment and the applicability of proofs of origin presented in the Union for open mesh fabrics of glass fibres of HS subheadings 7019 40, 7019 51 and 7019 59 imported from GSP beneficiary countries belonging to the regional cumulation group I and group III (1).

Following a number of investigations, it would appear that significant quantities of open mesh fabrics of glass fibres of HS subheadings 7019 40, 7019 51 and 7019 59, consigned to the EU generally from Singapore, are being declared for release for free circulation in the Union as having the preferential origin of one of the countries belonging to the regional cumulation group I or III, without being entitled to it.

European Union operators declaring origin and/or presenting proofs of origin for the products mentioned above are therefore advised to take all necessary precautions as the release of the goods in question for free circulation may give rise to a customs debt, lead to fraud and, consequently, negatively affect the European Union’s financial interests. When the possible subsequent entry in the accounts of a customs debt results from the abovementioned circumstances the person liable may not plead good faith in accordance with the fifth subparagraph of Article 220(2)(b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 of 12 October 1992 establishing the Community Customs Code (2).

(1) The list of countries is set out in Article 86 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 laying down provisions for the implementing of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2913/92 establishing the Community Customs Code. At the time of the publication of this notice, the following beneficiary countries belong to the groups:

— Group I – Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Philippines, Vietnam, Myanmar/Burma

— Group III – Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka

Notice concerning the definitive anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China: change of name of one company subject to an undertaking

(2015/C 413/09)

The undertaking offered in the framework of an anti-dumping and an anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China was accepted by Commission Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU (1).

Era Solar Co. Ltd, TARIC additional code B818, whose undertaking was accepted by Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU, has notified the Commission of its change of name to Zhejiang Era Solar Technology Co., Ltd

The company argued that its change of name does not affect its right to continue to benefit from the individual duty rates previously applied to Era Solar Co. Ltd

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU.

Therefore, the reference in Annex of Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU to:

Era Solar Co. Ltd B818

should be read as:

The Order of the Ministry of the Presidency (PRE/1282/2007) of 10 May on the financial means aliens are required to have in order to enter Spain specifies the amount that aliens have to prove is available to them in order to be able to enter Spain.
