Imposition by France of public service obligations on scheduled air services between Pointe-à-Pitre on the one hand and La Désirade, les Saintes and Marie-Galante on the other

(2003/C 172/03)

(Text with EEA relevance)

1. Pursuant to Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2408/92 of 23 July 1992 on access for Community air carriers to intra-Community air routes, France has decided to impose public service obligations on scheduled air services between Pointe-à-Pitre le Raizet and La Désirade, Les Saintes and Marie-Galante.

2. The public service obligations are as follows:

2.1. Minimum frequency:

At least two round trips per day on each of these routes, without stopover.

2.2. Fares:

The full rate single Y fare between Pointe-à-Pitre and La Désirade, Les Saintes or Marie-Galante must not exceed 50 euros.

The following categories of passenger must be entitled to fares of not more than 20 euros, with no capacity restriction:

- persons under 20 years old,

- persons over 60 years old,

- students under 27 years old,

- disabled persons and invalids.

A fare of 20 euros must be offered on all flights, without capacity restriction or time constraints on ticket reservations or purchases, to passengers whose principal place of residence is La Désirade, Les Saintes or Marie-Galante.

These fares exclude per capita taxes and duties levied by the State, local authorities and airport authorities and identified as such on the ticket.

If an abnormal and unforeseeable increase in the cost factors affecting the operation of the routes takes place for which the carriers are not responsible, these maximum fares may be raised in proportion to the increase. The new maximum fares will be notified to the carriers operating the services and will enter into force after their publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

2.3. Flight bookings:

Flights must be marketed by means of at least one booking system accessible by rapid data transmission.

2.4. Continuity of service:

Except in cases of force majeure, the number of flights cancelled for reasons directly attributable to the carrier must not exceed 3 % of the number of flights scheduled per year in the operating programme.

The carrier must give at least six months' notice before discontinuing the services.

Community carriers are hereby informed that the operation of air services without regard to the abovementioned public service obligations may result in administrative and/or criminal penalties.

Air carriers are hereby informed that the French authorities reserve the right to grant aid having a social character to certain categories of passengers on these routes on the basis of Article 87(2)(a) of the Treaty.

Note 1:

Generally the date of cessation of use will be the date of withdrawal ("dow"), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 2.1:

The new (or amended) standard has the same scope as the superseded standard. On the date stated, the superseded standard cannot be used any longer in the context of the Directive.

Note 3:

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 4) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard cannot be used any longer in the context of the Directive.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping duty in force in respect of imports into the Community of Polyethylene terephtalate film (PET film) originating inter alia in the Republic of Korea: modification of the address of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty

(2003/C 254/03)

Imports of Polyethylene terephtalate film (PET film) originating in inter alia the Republic of Korea are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001(1).

HS Industries Co. Ltd, a company located in the Republic of Korea, whose exports of Polyethylene terephtalate film (PET film) to the Community are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of 7,5 % by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that it has changed its company address i.e. Kangnam Building, 8th Floor, 1321, Seocho-Dong, Seocho-Ku, Seoul, Korea to Kangnam Building, 5th Floor, 1321, Seocho-Dong, Seocho-Ku, Seoul, Korea.

The company has asked the Commission to confirm that this change of address does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its former address referred to above.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which demonstrates that all the company's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of PET film are unaffected by the change of address. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001. In view of the absence of any substantive change of circumstances, the current address of HS Industries Co. Ltd. should read Kangnam Building, 5th Floor, 1321, Seocho-Dong, Seocho-Ku, Seoul, Korea in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001.

The original Taric additional code A226 attributed to HS Industries Co. Ltd is unchanged.
