Note 1 Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity 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 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 The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

NOTE:

— Any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from the European Standardisation Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed to Directive 98/34/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) amended by Directive 98/48/EC (3).

— Publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Union does not imply that the standards are available in all the Community languages.

Notice of the expiry of certain anti-dumping measures

(2006/C 112/02)

Further to the publication of a notice of impending expiry (1), following which no request for a review was received, the Commission gives notice that the anti-dumping measures mentioned below will shortly expire.

This notice is published in accordance with Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 (2) on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain magnesia bricks originating in the People's Republic of China: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2006/C 106/04)

Imports of certain magnesia bricks originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1659/2005 of 6 October 2005 (1).

Yingkou Sanhua Refractory Material Co. Ltd, a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose exports to the Community of certain magnesia bricks are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 8,1 % by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on 28 March 2005 it has changed its name into Yingkou Wonjin Refractory Material 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 Yingkou Sanhua Refractory Material 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 1659/2005. Therefore, the reference to Yingkou Sanhua Refractory Material Co. Ltd, Gangdu Management Zone, Diashiqiao City, Liaoning Province, 115100, PRC should be read as Yingkou Wonjin Refractory Material Co. Ltd, Gangdu Management Zone, Diashiqiao City, Liaoning Province, 115100, PRC in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1659/2005.

The Taric additional code A633 previously attributed to Yingkou Sanhua Refractory Material Co. Ltd shall apply to Yingkou Wonjin Refractory Material Co. Ltd.

Commission notice concerning the date of application of the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation between the Community, Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Norway, Romania, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and West Bank and Gaza Strip

(2006/C 166/04)

For the purpose of the creation of diagonal cumulation of origin among the Community, Algeria, Bulgaria, Egypt, Faroe Islands, Iceland, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Morocco, Norway, Romania, Switzerland (including Liechtenstein), Syria, Tunisia, Turkey and West Bank and Gaza Strip, the Community and the countries concerned notify each other, through the European Commission, of the origin rules in force with the other countries.

Based on the notifications received from the countries concerned, the table here enclosed gives an overview of the protocols on rules of origin providing for diagonal cumulation specifying the date from which such cumulation becomes applicable. This table replaces the previous one (OJ C 87, 11.4.2006).

It is recalled that cumulation can be only applied if the countries of final manufacture and of final destination have concluded free trade agreements, containing identical rules of origin, with all the countries participating in the acquisition of originating status, i.e. with all the countries from which all the materials used originate. Materials originating in the country which has not concluded an agreement with the countries of final manufacture and of final destination shall be treated as non-originating. Specific examples are given in the Explanatory Notes concerning the pan-Euro-Mediterranean protocols on rules of origin (1).

It is also recalled that:

— Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein form a customs union;

— within the European Economic Area, which is composed of the EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein and Norway, the date of application is 1 November 2005.

The ISO-Alpha-2 codes for the country listed in the table are given here below.
