Final report of the Hearing Officer in case COMP/38.279 - Viandes Bovines Françaises

(pursuant to Article 15 of Commission Decision 2001/462/EC, ECSC of 23 May 2001 on the terms of reference of Hearing Officers in certain competition proceedings (OJ L 162, 19.6.2001, p. 21))

(2003/C 195/13)

The draft decision put before the Commission calls for the following comments as regards respect of the right to be heard:

1. Access to the file

Following the launching on 30 October 2001 of an own-initiative investigation by the Commission in the beef and veal sector in France on the basis of information supplied by its Directorate-General for Agriculture, a statement of objections was sent on 25 June 2002.

All the documents accessible in the file were sent to the Federations concerned on 1 July 2002. Access to the file did not elicit any challenge or particular request from the Federations.

2. Time allowed for the parties to reply and be heard

The FNSEA, which was responsible for coordinating the defence of several Federations, requested a few days' extension of the three-month time limit set for a reply to the statement of objections. This was agreed to and the final deadline for the submission of replies was set as 4 October 2002.

The parties asked to present their arguments at a formal oral hearing, which took place on 31 October 2002.

On that occasion, the FNICGV asked me to summon several people to the hearing, in particular, the former French Minister of Agriculture who was in office when the agreements were signed. This was not done, as the competition rules applicable do not provide for the Commission to summon witnesses to be heard at a hearing. The hearing is one reflection of the right to be heard orally, and it is for each party being heard to produce their own representatives.

3. Concordance between the statement of objections and the draft decision

I have found no new objections in the draft decision compared with the statement of objections.

It follows from the above that the undertakings' right to be heard has been respected.

Done at Brussels, 18 March 2003.

Notice concerning the anti-subsidy and anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India: change in the name of a company subject to individual countervailing and anti-dumping duty rates

(2005/C 40/05)

Imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India are subject to a definitive countervailing duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999 [1] and to a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 [2].

The exports to the Community of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film of MTZ Polyesters Limited, a company located in India, are subject to an individual countervailing duty rate of 8,7 % and an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 49,0 %. An undertaking concerning the imports subject to an anti-dumping duty was accepted by Commission Decision 2001/645/EC [3]. The company has informed the Commission that it has changed its name to MTZ Polyfilms Limited. The company has argued that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual countervailing and anti-dumping duty rates nor the right to benefit from the undertaking given by the company under its previous name of MTZ Polyesters Limited.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999, of Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 and those of Commission Decision 2001/645/EC. Therefore, the reference to MTZ Polyesters Limited should be read as MTZ Polyfilms Limited in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999, in Article 1 and 2 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 and in Article 1 of Commission Decision 2001/645/EC.

The Taric additional code A031 previously attributed to MTZ Polyesters Limited shall apply to MTZ Polyfilms Limited.
