Furthermore, the Commission notes that the purchase price paid by the Belgian State to acquire 100 % of DBB shares has been valued on the bank's […] and […] data as of 30 June 2011, which do not incorporate the negative impact of latest developments on DBB financial situation (deposit withdrawals and latest increase in intra-group funding caused by the need to post cash collateral against derivative transactions). In addition, the valuation is based on financial forecasts on DBB provided by Dexia SA without any due diligence generally undertaken for such transactions. It is also to be noted that the purchase is associated with a series of features that can make the price paid non-market investor principle based: inter alia, a profit sharing mechanism is in place if DBB is sold back to another investor with a profit within five years, the Belgian States immunises Dexia SA against any losses it could incur as a result of the difficulties that some of its shareholders (Arco, Ethias and Holding Communal) may encounter. As a consequence, the Commission is not convinced that the price paid by the Belgian State, associated with other measures currently under discussion with the Belgian State in favour of Dexia SA (e.g. the funding guarantee), is appropriate and provides an adequate burden sharing.

Under Estonian law, aliens arriving into Estonia without a letter of invitation shall, upon request by a border guard official upon entry into the country, provide proof of sufficient monetary means to cover the costs of his/her stay in and departure from Estonia. Sufficient monetary means for each allowed day is considered to be 0,2 times the monthly minimum salary implemented by the Government of the Republic, i.e. EUR 58.

Otherwise the person inviting shall assume responsibility for the costs of the alien's stay in and departure from Estonia.

FRANCE

Replacement of the information published in OJ C 247, 13.10.2006

The reference amount for adequate means of subsistence for the planned duration of an alien's stay or for his transit via France to a destination in a third State is equal to the amount of the guaranteed minimum wage in France (SMIC) calculated daily on the basis of the rate fixed on 1 January of the current year.

This amount is regularly reassessed on the basis of the French cost of living index:

— automatically whenever the retail price index rises more than 2 %,

— by a government decision — after consultation with the national commission for collective bargaining — to grant a rise higher than the rise in the retail price index.

As of 1 January 2012, the daily amount of the SMIC (minimum wage) is EUR 65.

Persons holding proof of accommodation (attestation d'accueil) must possess a minimum amount of money, equivalent to half the SMIC, in order to stay in France. This amount is therefore EUR 32,50 per day.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of ceramic tiles originating in the People's Republic of China: change of the name of a company subject to an average anti-dumping duty rate for cooperating companies

2012/C 119/06

Imports of ceramic tiles originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 917/2011 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) No 917/2011’).

Heyuan Wanfeng Ceramics Co., Ltd, a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose exports to the Union of ceramic tiles are subject to an average anti-dumping duty rate for cooperating companies of 30,6 % imposed pursuant to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 917/2011, has informed the Commission that on 28 September 2011 it has changed its name to Guangdong Luxury Micro-crystal Stone Technology Co., Ltd.

The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the average duty rate for cooperating companies applied to the company under its previous name of Heyuan Wanfeng Ceramics Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) No 917/2011. Therefore, the reference in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 917/2011 to:

Heyuan Wanfeng Ceramics Co., Ltd

should be read as:

Guangdong Luxury Micro-crystal Stone Technology Co., Ltd.
