Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia

2009/C 229/07

Further to an application lodged by JSC Kirovo-Chepetsky Khimichesky Kombinat, the Court of First Instance of the European Communities, by its judgment of 10 September 2008 in Case T-348/05, annulled Council Regulation (EC) No 945/2005 (1) amending (i) Regulation (EC) No 658/2002 (2) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ammonium nitrate originating in Russia and (ii) Regulation (EC) No 132/2001 (3) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ammonium nitrate originating in, inter alia, Ukraine. Following an application for interpretation of the above-mentioned judgement the Court of First Instance further declared by its judgement of 9 July 2009 that the operative part of the judgement of 10 September 2008 is to be interpreted as meaning that the Regulation (EC) No 945/2005 is annulled in so far as it concerns JSC Kirovo-Chepetsky Khimichesky Kombinat.

Consequently, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 658/2002 on imports of products manufactured and exported to the European Union by JSC Kirovo-Chepetsky Khimichesky Kombinat, with the exception of the anti-dumping duties levied on import of products falling within CN codes 3102 30 90 and 3102 40 90, shall be repaid or remitted. The repayment or remission shall be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable customs legislation.

Until the expiry of the deadline for implementation of the First Gas Directive in 2000, GDF had a monopoly on the import of gas into France. Following the removal of the import monopoly and during the gradual liberalisation of the European gas markets, the parties continued to apply the 1975 side letters. E.ON, E.ON Ruhrgas and GDF met on a regular basis at various levels and discussed the implementation of the agreement in the newly liberalised market. The parties’ contacts after 1999 confirmed the continued existence of the market-sharing agreement and the existence of a single and continuous restriction of competition by object, which violates Article 81 EC. Although the parties signed a pro forma agreement in August 2004 allegedly ‘confirming’ that the 1975 side letters were no longer valid, the market-sharing agreement continued to exist and produce effects from 1 January 1980 (as regards the German market) and from 10 August 2000 (as regards the French market) to at least 30 September 2005, when the parties started to take gas off the pipeline, to effect sales in the other's home market and entered into a new set of agreements regarding MEGAL.
