Notice concerning undertakings offered in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China: change of the address of a company

2012/C 3/07

The undertakings offered in the framework of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China were accepted by Commission Decision 2008/899/EC (1).

Weifang Ensign, a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose undertaking was accepted by Decision 2008/899/EC, has informed the Commission that on 17 June 2011 it has changed its address to Changshen Street No 1567, Changle, Weifang, Shandong Province, PRC.

The company has argued that the change of address does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the terms of the undertaking accepted under its previous address of The West End, Limin Road, Changle City, Shandong Province, PRC.

The Commission has examined the information provided and has concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Decision 2008/899/EC. Therefore, the reference, in Article 1 of Decision 2008/899/EC to:

Weifang Ensign Industry Co. Ltd, The West End, Limin Road, Changle City, Shandong Province, PRC

should be read as:

Weifang Ensign Industry Co. Ltd, Changshen Street No 1567, Changle, Weifang, Shandong Province, PRC

The TARIC additional code A882 previously attributed to Weifang Ensign Industry Co. Ltd, The West End, Limin Road, Changle City, Shandong Province, PRC shall apply to Weifang Ensign Industry Co. Ltd, Changshen Street No 1567, Changle, Weifang, Shandong Province, PRC.
