Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of ferro-silicon originating in the People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine

(2002/C 15/02)

By Commission Decision of 21 February 2001, the Commission terminated the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ferro-silicon originating in Brazil, the People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Russia, Ukraine and Venezuela(1).

An action against the Commission of the European Communities was brought before the Court of First Instance on 16 June 2001 by the Liaison Committee of the ferro-alloy industry ("Euroalliages") and others, seeking the annulment pursuant to Article 230 EC of the sole Article of Decision 2001/230/EC in so far as it concerned the People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Russia and the Ukraine: T132/01 Euroalliages and others v Commission of the European Communities.

In parallel, Euroalliages and others lodged a request before the Court of First Instance for interim measures pursuant to Articles 242 and 243 EC: T132/01R Euroalliages and others v Commission of the European Communities.

A notice was published on 14 August 2001 in the Official Journal of the European Communities informing Member States and all interested parties that, on 1 August 2001, the President of the Court of First Instance had ordered in case T132/01R Euroalliages and others v Commission of the European Communities that the imports of ferro-silicon (CN codes 7202 21 10; 7202 21 90; 7202 29 90 ) originating in the People's Republic of China, Kazakhstan, Russia and Ukraine be subject to registration without requiring a security to be provided by importers(2).

In the meantime, an appeal was lodged before the Court of Justice against the Order of the President of the Court of First Instance of 1 August 2001: Case C-404/01P(R) Commission of the European Communities v Euroalliages and others. Notice is hereby given to Member States and to all interested parties that on 14 December 2001, in case C-404/01P(R) Commission of the European Communities v Euroalliages and others, the President of the Court of Justice annulled the Order of the President of the Court of First Instance of 1 August 2001 and referred the case back to the Court of First Instance.

Reference/discount rates applicable from 1 January 2002

(2002/C 21/16)

(Text with EEA relevance)

>TABLE>

These rates are fixed on the basis of the method for setting and updating the reference/discount rates published in Official Journal of the European Communities C 273, 9.9.1997, p. 3. Technical adaptations to this method were made by Commission notice published in Official Journal of the European Communities C 241, 26.8.1999, p. 9. Following the adoption of the euro by Greece on 1 January 2001, the reference rate for Greece is identical to that applied to the 11 Member States that had already adopted the euro.

Publication of these rates is required under Commission Regulations (EC) No 68/2001 (recital 9), (EC) No 69/2001 (recital 6) and (EC) No 70/2001 (recital 10) of 12 January 2001 (OJ L 10, 13.1.2001, pp. 20, 30 and 33) on the application of Articles 87 and 88 of the EC Treaty to training aid, "de-minimis" aid and aid for small and medium-sized enterprises.
Directive 2002/2/EC: Commission's statement on recital 10(a) for the record of the Conciliation Committee

(2002/C 27/02)

The Commission declares that it can not guarantee that it will be possible to respond to the request laid down in recital 10(a), which also effects its right of initiative.

The Commission insists that establishing a positive list is a complex issue in which Member States and stakeholders are involved. For this reason the Commission launched a feasibility study on the establishment of a positive list of feed materials. The Commission will send a report on the outcome of this study to the Council and the European Parliament before 31 December 2002. Taking the outcome of this study into account, the Commission intends to make the appropriate proposals in due course.

January 2002

(2002/C 57/01)

(Text with EEA relevance)

(Publication of titles and references of harmonised standards under the Directive)

>TABLE>

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 4:

The EN 60061-1, -2, -3, and -4 series have a particular structure and therefore the date of cessation of presumption of conformity indicated only affects the types modified by the different amendments.

Note 5:

EN 60335-11994/A11996 supersedes standards EN 60335-2-191989 and EN 60335-2-201989. These two standards have 1.4.2004 as the date of cessation of presumption of conformity. The same applies to EN 60335-11994/A121996.

Note 6:

EN 60570:1993 covers the safety objectives of Directive 73/23/EEC only if, in conjunction, the requirements laid down in Amendment 11:1998 to EN 60570:1996 are taken into account.

Note 7:

EN 60335-2-9 covers the safety objectives of Directive 73/23/EEC only if, in conjunction, the requirements laid down in Amendment 11:2000 to EN 60335-2-9:1995 or in Commission Opinion 2000/C 104/07 are taken into account.

Note 8:

EN 60598-1 covers the safety objectives of Directive 73/23/EEC only if, in conjunction, Commission Opinion 2001/C 29/02 is taken into account.

This list replaces all the previous lists published in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

Notice to importers

Imports of sugar into the Community from countries in the western Balkans

(2002/C 152/05)

The European Commission informs the Community operators that there is reasonable doubt as to the proper application of the preferential arrangements for sugar of headings CN 1701 and CN 1702, which is declared at import as originating in Albania, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Croatia, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, including Kosovo as defined by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1244 of 10 June 1999, and the Former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia in order to benefit from preferential tariff measures.

A significant and rapid increase in preferential imports of sugar into the Community from certain countries in the western Balkans has been registered since the beginning of 2001, while the countries concerned have in the recent past shown a deficit in sugar production. At the same time, exports of sugar from the Community to the countries in the region have increased by roughly the same level. This development of trade in both directions appears to be highly artificial and there are indications pointing to the possibility of fraud.

Community operators presenting documentary evidence of origin with a view to securing preferential treatment for sugar of tariff headings CN 1701 and CN 1702 are therefore advised to take all the necessary precautions, since the release of the goods in question for free circulation may give rise to a customs debt and lead to fraud against the Community's financial interests.

Communication from the Commission pursuant to Article 9 of Regulation (EC) No 2560/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council(1)

(2002/C 165/08)

On 19 December 2001 the Council and the European Parliament adopted Regulation (EC) No 2560/2001 on cross-border payments in euro.

Article 9 of the Regulation stipulates that, should the Member State concerned so decide, certain provisions may also apply to payments in Swedish kronor, Danish kroner or pound sterling.

On 28 June 2002 the Commission received notification that the Swedish authorities had decided to extend the Regulation's application to the Swedish krona.

The extension shall take effect fourteen days after publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
