RZBC Imp. & Exp., a sales company located in the People’s Republic of China which is related to the producers RZBC Co. Ltd and RZBC (Juxian) Co.

Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of silico-manganese originating in, inter alia, Kazakhstan

2012/C 102/15

By its judgment of 30 November 2011 in Case T-107/08, the General Court of the European Union annulled Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 (1) of 4 December 2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of silico-manganese originating in the People’s Republic of China and Kazakhstan and terminating the proceeding on imports of silico-manganese originating in Ukraine in so far as that Article applies to imports of silico-manganese produced by Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO.

Consequently, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007 on imports into the European Union of silico-manganese (including ferro-silico-manganese) currently falling within CN codes 7202 30 00 and ex 8111 00 11 (TARIC code 8111001110) manufactured by Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO, should be repaid or remitted. The repayment or remission must be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable customs legislation.

As a consequence of the judgment of 30 November 2011, Transnational Company ‘Kazchrome’ AO (TARIC additional code B271) is no longer subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1420/2007.

The Commission has received a high number of standard complaints against the projected tests and future oil drillings in Spanish waters near the Canary Islands. For the moment, the Commission has no reasons to believe that such prospective works may breach applicable EU Law, but has requested the Spanish authorities to explain how they will ensure compliance with EU Law, in particular Council Directive 92/43/EEC, of 21 May 1992, on the protection of natural habitats and wild fauna and flora (1) and European Parliament and Council Directive 2011/92/EU, of 13 December 2011, on the assessment of the effects of certain public and private projects on the environment (2).

According to Annex I.1.(1) of the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1015/2010 (1) implementing Directive 2009/125/EC (2), the cycles which clean normally soiled cotton laundry (hereafter ‘standard cotton programmes’) at 40 °C and 60 °C shall be used for the calculation of the energy consumption and other parameters for household washing machines. These cycles shall be clearly identifiable on the programme selection device of the household washing machines or the household washing machines display, if any, or both, and indicated as ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’ and ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’.

To facilitate the clear identification of the relevant standard cotton programmes or programmes setting(s) on the programme selection device of the household washing machines or the household washing machines display, the following transitional symbols providing presumption of conformity should apply:

— for the ‘standard 60 °C cotton programme’:

— for the ‘standard 40 °C cotton programme’:

— for the ‘standard cotton programme’ in appliances where the selection device of the programme is separate from the selection device of the temperature:

In appliances where programme and temperature are selected using separate devices, the three arrows must be present on the selection panel.

These transitional symbols will ultimately be replaced by symbols provided in harmonised standard(s), for the purposes of compliance and verification of compliance with the requirements of the Commission Regulation (EU) No 1015/2010, the reference numbers of which have been published in the Official Journal of the European Union in accordance with Articles 9 and 10 of Directive 2009/125/EC.
