c)

If the average recorded in each half-year of the euro/US dollar exchange rate and/or the cost of fuel changes by more than 5 %, fares must be adjusted in proportion to the change recorded and in proportion to the share of flight costs represented by fuel. Six-monthly fare adjustments are made, where appropriate, by the Minister for Infrastructure and Transport, in agreement with the President of the Region of Liguria, on the basis of a report by a Joint Technical Committee composed of one representative appointed by the ENAC and one representative appointed by the Region of Liguria, which must consult the carriers operating the routes concerned. Any adjustment will enter into force as of the next half-year. Adjustments shall be notified to all carriers operating the services in question, and to the European Commission for publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. Continuity of services For the purpose of guaranteeing the continuity, regularity and punctuality of the services, the carriers which accept the public service obligations must: — guarantee the service for at least 12 consecutive months, and must not suspend it without at least six months' notice; — ensure that their conduct vis-à-vis users conforms to the principles set out in the Charter of Passengers' Rights, so as to comply with the relevant national, Community and international regulations; — provide a performance security for the purpose of guaranteeing the correct performance and continuation of the service. The security shall amount to at least EUR 800 000,00 and must be guaranteed by an insurance surety payable to ENAC (the Italian National Civil Aviation Authority), which may use it to ensure the continuation of the services concerned. — operate at least 98 % of the flights scheduled in any year, with a maximum cancellation margin of 2 % for reasons directly attributable to the carrier, excluding cases of force majeure; — pay the regulatory body a penalty of EUR 3 000,00 for every flight cancelled in excess of the 2 % limit. The sums received in this connection will be allocated to the territorial continuity heading of Albenga's municipal budget.

Notice concerning the countervailing measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of certain cotton-type bed linen originating in India: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual countervailing duty rate

(2006/C 127/05)

Imports of certain cotton-type bed linen originating in India are subject to a definitive countervailing duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 74/2004 (1).

Harimann International, a company located in India, whose exports to the Community of certain cotton-type bed linen are subject to a countervailing duty of 7,6 % imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2143/2004 (2), has informed the Commission that on 20 June 2005, as the result of a change in the company's legal form, it changed its name to Harimann International Private Limited.

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 Harimann International.

The Commission has examined the information submitted and has concluded that the change of name and legal form in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 2143/2004. Therefore, the reference to ‘Harimann International’ should be read as ‘Harimann International Private Limited’ in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 2143/2004.

The Taric additional code A498 previously attributed to Harimann International shall apply to Harimann International Private Limited.

This scope of the present Notice is limited to the partial interim review and concerns only the Republic of Korea.

Clarification regarding the scope of the partial interim review

In point 4.2 of the Notice of Initiation, the following three companies are mentioned as being subject to the partial interim review: Daehan Synthetic Fibre Co. Ltd, SK Chemicals Co. Ltd and KP Chemicals Corp.

In the light of information gathered as part of the questionnaire response to the Notice of Initiation, it has come to the attention of the Commission that companies related to the three abovementioned companies also produce and/or distribute PET.

In order to avoid any misunderstanding about the exact scope of the investigation, it is hereby clarified that all companies related to (2) Daehan Synthetic Fibre Co. Ltd, SK Chemicals Co. Ltd and KP Chemicals Corp are also part of the scope of this investigation. If anti-dumping duties are called for by the outcome of this investigation, they will be calculated on the basis of the information obtained from the group of all related companies involved in the production and distribution of PET and will be set accordingly.

By the following letter dated 5 July 2006, the Commission has informed the United Kingdom of its decision to close the procedure laid down in Article 88(2) of the Treaty.

‘By decision of 1 June 2005, the Commission initiated the formal investigation procedure referred to in Article 88 (2) EC Treaty in respect of the above aid. The decision to initiate the procedure was communicated to the UK authorities on 1 June 2005 and published in the Official Journal on 8 July 2005 (OJ C 168/41). The UK withdrew its notification of the aid measure in a letter registered on 5 May 2006. The Commission takes note of the UK Government's statement that it will not pursue the current sale proposal. The Commission notes that, according to Article 8 of the Council Regulation 659/99 (1), the Member State concerned may withdraw the notification in due time before the Commission has taken a decision on the aid. In cases where the Commission has initiated the formal investigation procedure, the Commission shall close that procedure. Consequently, the Commission has decided to close the formal investigation procedure under Article 88(2) of the EC Treaty in respect of the relevant aid, recording that the UK has withdrawn its notification.’
