COMMISSION OPINION

of 14 December 2009

relating to the plan to modify the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the Pegase-Cascad facility, established on the Cadarache site in France, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty

(Only the French text is authentic)

2009/C 303/01

On 22 June 2009, the European Commission received from the French Government, in accordance with Article 37 of the Euratom Treaty, General Data relating to the plan to modify the disposal of radioactive waste arising from the Pegase-Cascad facility, established on the Cadarache site in France.

On the basis of these data and following consultation with the Group of Experts, the Commission has drawn up the following opinion:

1. The distance between the Pegase-Cascad facility and the nearest point of another Member State, in this case Italy and Spain, amounts to 110 km and 230 km respectively.

2. The planned modification will involve an increase of the authorised discharge limit for gaseous tritium.

3. During normal operating conditions, the planned modification will not cause an exposure liable to affect the health of the population in another Member State.

4. Solid radioactive waste will temporarily be stored on site before being transferred to a disposal facility authorised by the French Government.

5. In the event of unplanned releases of radioactive effluents which may follow an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, the doses received in another Member State will not be able to affect the health of the population.

In conclusion, the Commission is of the opinion that the implementation of the plan to modify the disposal of radioactive waste from the Pegase-Cascad facility established on the Cadarache site in France, both in normal operation and in the event of an accident of the type and magnitude considered in the General Data, is not liable to result in radioactive contamination of the water, soil or airspace of another Member State.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in the People's Republic of China: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

2009/C 311/10

Imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 926/2009 of 24 September 2009 (1).

Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., Ltd., a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose exports to the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel are subject to an anti-dumping duty of 27,2 % imposed pursuant to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 926/2009, has informed the Commission that on 3 December 2008, it has changed its name to Hebei Hongling Seamless Steel Pipes Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous name of Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 926/2009. Therefore, the reference to Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., Ltd. should be read as Hebei Hongling Seamless Steel Pipes Manufacturing Co., Ltd., in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 926/2009.

The Taric additional code A950 previously attributed to Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., Ltd. shall apply to Hebei Hongling Seamless Steel Pipes Manufacturing Co., Ltd.

Planned closure of complaint No 2009/2002

2010/C 29/06

The European Commission has received a large number of complaints concerning a car pollution tax levied in Romania in accordance with the relevant national legislation, as amended by the Government Emergency Ordinance 218/2008. These complaints were treated under the lead file with reference number 2009/2002.

By publishing this notice the Commission informs the public on its intentions to close this file.

First, it must be recalled that regrettably there is no harmonisation of the passenger car related taxes at the EU level and therefore Member States are not precluded from levying such taxes and are free to decide on their levels and methods of calculation. However, such discretion is restricted by the provisions of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU), in particular Article 110 (ex Article 90 ECT), which requires equal tax treatment of domestic products and products coming from other Member States.

The responsible Commission's department, after having analysed the Government Emergency Ordinance 218/2008, concluded that it was not in line with Article 110 TFEU given that certain used cars appeared to be overtaxed in comparison with similar motor vehicles registered on the domestic market as new. The exemption granted under the terms of Government Emergency Ordinance 218/2008 did not appear to be based on objective criteria and seemed to favour domestic car manufacturers. This was considered to be incompatible with Article 110 of the TFEU and, consequently, on 26 June 2009, the Commission issued a letter of formal notice urging the Republic of Romania to amend the contested provisions (IP/09/1012).

The Romanian authorities replied with a letter of 28 September 2009 expressing their position on the matter and on 12 of January 2010 informed the Commission of the Government Emergency Ordinance 117/2009, which abolished the exemption granted under Emergency Ordinance 218/2008 with the effect from 1 January 2010.

In the light of the above information, the responsible department of the Commission considers that the Romanian authorities have taken the appropriate steps to ensure compliance with the EU law and at present it would appear that the Romanian legislation on car pollution tax has been brought in to line with Article 110 TFEU.

For this reason, the responsible department will propose to the Commission that the case in question be closed.
