Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of urea originating, inter alia, in Lithuania: modification of the name of a company from which an undertaking was accepted

(2003/C 243/02)

Imports of urea originating, inter alia, in Lithuania are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 92/2002(1) as last amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1107/2002(2).

An undertaking was accepted by Commission Decision 2002/498/EC(3), from Joint Stock Company Achema, a Lithuanian company, whose exports to the Community of urea are subject to the residual anti-dumping duty rate for exports from Lithuania of 10,05 euro per tonne by the aforementioned Regulation.

The company has informed the Commission that it has now changed its name into Stock Company Achema and its address from "Taurostos 26, 5005 Jonava" to "Jonalaukio k., Ruklos sen., Jonavos r. LT-5005". The company has asked the Commission to confirm that these changes do not affect the right of the company to benefit from the undertaking given by the company under its previous name and address.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which satisfactorily demonstrated that all the company's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of urea are not affected by the change of name and address. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of name and address in no way affects the findings of the investigation, in particular the exemption from the duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 92/2002 and the undertaking accepted by Decision 2002/498/EC. Accordingly, the right of the renamed company to benefit from the individual measure should remain.

Hence, the reference to Joint Stock Company Achema should be read as Stock Company Achema, Jonalaukio k., Ruklos sen., Jonavos r. LT-5005, in Article 2(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 92/2002 and in Article 1 of Commission Decision 2002/498/EC.

The Taric additional code A375 previously attributed to Joint Stock Company Achema shall apply to the company under its new name, Stock Company Achema.
