(2002/C 16/04)

By its judgment of 19 September 2001 in case T-58/99, Mukand Ltd, Isibars Ltd, Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd and Viraj Impoexpo Ltd v Council of the European Union, the Court of First Instance of the European Communities (CFI) annulled Council Regulation (EC) No 2450/98 of 13 November 1998(1) imposing a definitive countervailing duty on imports of stainless steel bars originating in India and collecting definitively the provisional duty, in so far as it concerns imports into the European Community of stainless steel bars manufactured by:

- Mukand Ltd, established in Mumbai,

- Isibars Ltd, established in Mumbai,

- Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd, established in Nagpur, and

- Viraj Impoexpo Ltd, established in Mumbai.

As no appeal was lodged before the Court of Justice of the European Communities, the judgment of 19 September 2001 is definitive.

Consequently, the definitive countervailing duties paid and the provisional duties definitively collected pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2450/98 on imports into the European Community of stainless steel bars falling within CN codes 7222 20 11, 7222 20 21, 7222 20 31 and 7222 20 81 manufactured by the abovementioned companies (under additional TARIC codes 8403, 8402, 8400, 8410 ) should be reimbursed. The reimbursement must be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable national customs legislation.

As a consequence of the judgment of 19 September 2001, Mukand Ltd (Mumbai), Isibars Ltd (Mumbai), Ferro Alloys Corporation Ltd (Nagpur) and Viraj Impoexpo Ltd (Mumbai) are no longer subject to the countervailing measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2450/98 of 13 November 1998.

Imposition by France of a public service obligation on scheduled air services between Strasbourg and Munich

(2002/C 85/03)

1. France has decided to impose a public service obligation on scheduled air services between Strasbourg and Munich pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes.

2. The public service obligation is as follows

2.1. Minimum frequency and capacity

The minimum level of service provided between Munich and Strasbourg must be two round trips per day morning and evening, from Monday to Friday, all year round except for the month of August, when there must be a minimum of one round trip per day, from Monday to Friday. The flights in question must be non-stop. The capacity provided must be adapted to meet demand, especially when the European Parliament is in session in Strasbourg.

2.2. Type of aircraft used

The services must be operated by aircraft with at least 25 seats.

2.3. Timetables

Timetables (except during August) must be such as to enable passengers travelling during the working week to make the round trip in a single day.

2.4. Flight bookings

Flights must be bookable through at least one computerised reservation system.

2.5. Continuity of service

Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the carrier must not exceed 2 % of the number of flights scheduled in any IATA scheduling season. The carrier must give a minimum of six months' notice before discontinuing these services.

Community carriers are hereby informed that operation of the air services without regard to the abovementioned public service obligation may result in administrative and/or criminal penalties.
Extension of electronic licensing for imports of textiles and clothing imports

(2002/C 77/08)

Paragraph 3 of Article 11 of Annex III to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3030/93 on common rules for imports of certain textile products from third countries, introduced by Regulation (EC) No 391/2001 of 26 February 2001(1), states that "where a supplier country has entered into administrative arrangements with the Community concerning electronic licensing the relevant information may be transmitted by electronic means to replace the grant of export licences in paper form".

Electronic licensing has already been introduced in a number of countries as from 1 November 2001(2) 1 January 2002(3) and 1 February 2002(4). Since then, the Commission has entered into the necessary arrangements with the following: Cabodia, Thailand, Malaysia and Ukraine. For these, from 1 April 2002, the presentation of the original of the corresponding export licence will no longer be required for the issuance of import licences by the licensing authorities of Member States, and these can therefore be issued upon receipt by the competent authorities of Member States of the data transmitted in electronic form by the supplier countries and confirmation from the Commission that the amounts requested are available and/or of the validity of the electronic license. The competent authorities of the supplier third countries concerned may, however, issue an export licence or any similar documents, including if they consider it appropriate formal export licenses, for the benefit of operators in order to facilitate the transaction.

For any questions, economic operators are invited to address the licensing authorities of Member States, which is published in OJ C 78, 18.3.2000, p. 2.
