Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of citric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China: modification of the address of a company subject to an undertaking

2013/C 202/04

The undertakings offered in the framework of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid, originating in People’s Republic of China were accepted by Commission Decision 2008/899/EC (1).

COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd, a company located in the People’s Republic of China, whose undertaking was accepted by Decision 2008/899/EC, has informed the Commission that on 25 December 2012 its address has changed to No 1 COFCO Avenue, Bengbu City. The company submitted that the change of address does not affect its right to benefit from the individual duty rate under its previous address of No 73, Daqing Road, Bengbu City.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Decision 2008/899/EC. Therefore, the reference in Article 1 of Decision 2008/899/EC to No 73 Daqing Road, Bengbu City should be read as No 1 COFCO Avenue, Bengbu City.

The TARIC additional code A874 previously attributed to COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd — No 73, Daqing Road, Bengbu City 233010, Anhui Province, PRC should be read as COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd — No 1 COFCO Avenue, Bengbu City 233010, Anhui Province, PRC.

Notice to importers

Imports of sugar from the Western Balkans into the European Union

2013/C 266/05

By a notice to importers published in the Official Journal C 152 of 26.6.2002, p. 14, the Commission informed EU traders presenting documentary evidence of origin with a view to securing preferential treatment for sugar of tariff headings CN 1701 and CN 1702 from the Western Balkans to take all necessary precautions, since the release of the goods in question for free circulation could give rise to a customs debt and lead to fraud against the EU’s financial interests. The notice was based on the rapid and significant increase in preferential imports of sugar from certain countries in the Western Balkans, while those countries had shown a deficit in sugar production. At the same time, exports of sugar from the EU to the Western Balkans had increased by roughly the same level. This development of trade appeared to be highly artificial and was seen as an indication pointing to the possibility of fraud.

Certain measures to remedy this situation have meanwhile been introduced.

The conditions for a proper functioning of preferential arrangements for sugar of tariff headings CN 1701 and CN 1702 imported from the Western Balkans into the European Union having thus been restored, the notice to importers published in the Official Journal C 152 of 26.6.2002, p. 14, is hereby withdrawn.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in Ukraine: modification of the name of a company subject to individual anti-dumping duties

2013/C 353/07

Imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or steel, originating in Ukraine, are subject to anti-dumping duties under Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 795/2012 (1).

OJSC Interpipe Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant is subject to an anti-dumping duty of 13,8 % for imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or steel under Regulation (EU) No 795/2012.

On 29 May 2013, the company informed the Commission that its name has changed due to a legislative change in Ukraine. This change has affected the abbreviation of the legal denomination of the company.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name does not affect the findings of the Council Regulation mentioned above. Therefore, the reference to OJSC ‘Interpipe Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant’ should be read as PJSC ‘Interpipe Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant’ in Regulation (EU) No 795/2012.

Communication from the Commission concerning the prolongation of the application of the Community framework for State aid for research and development and innovation

2013/C 360/01

According to its point 10.3, second paragraph, the Community framework for State aid for research and development and innovation (‘the R&D&I Framework’) (1) is applicable until 31 December 2013.

In its communication on EU State Aid Modernisation of 8 May 2012 (2), the Commission launched an ambitious reform programme which includes identifying common principles for assessing the compatibility of aid with the internal market. As a consequence, the various State aid guidelines and frameworks are being revised and streamlined to ensure consistency with those common principles.

The revision of the R&D&I Framework takes place in the context of the overall process to modernise State aid rules, and is in particular closely interlinked with the parallel development of the future General Block Exemption Regulation. In order to ensure a consistent approach across all State aid instruments, and having regard to the need for continuity and legal certainty in the treatment of State aid for research and development and innovation, the Commission has therefore decided to continue to apply the R&D&I Framework until 30 June 2014.

In the light of the extension of its period of validity, Member States may also want to prolong those aid schemes authorised by the Commission after assessment under the R&D&I Framework, and which would otherwise lapse on 31 December 2013, for a similar period. In order to reduce the related administrative burden, the prolongation of all such schemes can be subject of a single notification under the simplified procedure laid down in Article 4 of the Implementing Regulation (3).
