Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports to the Union of steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China, as extended to imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from, inter alia, the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not

(2018/C 9/11)

The measures currently in force are an anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012 (1) on imports of steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China as extended, inter alia, to imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, as last amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1167 (2) (‘the measures in force’).

Imports into the Union of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea are subject to a duty of 60,4 %, with the exception of the product manufactured by companies that are exempted as genuine producers by Regulation (EU) No 102/2012 (as amended). One company located in the Republic of Korea, namely CS Co., Ltd., whose exports to the Union of steel ropes and cables are exempted from the anti-dumping duty as it was found to be a genuine producer, informed the Commission that their official address had changed as set out below.

The company claimed that the change of address does not affect their right to benefit from the duty applied to under the previous address. The Commission examined the information supplied and concluded that CS Co., Ltd. remains the identical company under the same company registration number with a modification only of its business address. Indeed, this modification does not affect the findings of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012.

The reference to CS Co., Ltd. in the table set out in Article 1(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012, as last amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1167, is to be interpreted in light of its change in address to 31-102, Junam maeul 2-gil, Yangsan, Gyeongsangnam-do. For reasons of clarity, its TARIC additional code remains A969.
