COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2048/1999

of 27 September 1999

amending Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on certain imports
of flat pallets of wood originating in the Republic of Poland

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22
December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from
countries not members of the European Community (1), and in
particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 (2), and in par-
ticular Article 4(1) and (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission
after consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

(1)

A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE

The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2334/97, imposed
definitive anti-dumping duties on certain imports of flat
pallets of wood falling within CN code ex 4415 20 20
originating in the Republic of Poland and accepted
undertakings offered from certain producers in connec-
tion with these imports. Sampling was applied to Polish
producers/exporters and individual duties ranging from
4,0 % to 10,6 % were imposed on the companies in the
sample, while other cooperating companies not included
in the sample received a weighted average duty of 6,3 %.
A duty of 10,6 % was imposed on companies which
either did not make themselves known or did not co-
operate in the investigation. The producers from which
undertakings were accepted were exempted from anti-
dumping duties with regard to imports of one specific
pallet type, the EUR-pallet, which is the only pallet type
covered by the undertakings.

(2)

Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 stipulates
that any party which provides sufficient evidence to the
Commission that:

(1) OJ L 56, 6.3.1996, p. 1. Regulation as last amended by Regulation

(EC) No 905/98 (OJ L 128, 30.4.1998, p. 18).

(2) OJ L 324, 27.11.1997, p. 1. Regulation as amended by Regulation

(EC) No 2079/98 (OJ L 266, 1.10.1998, p. 1).

— it did not export to the Community or produce
that
wooden pallets described in Article 1(1) of
Regulation during the investigation period,

— it is not related to any of the producers or exporters
in Poland which are subject to the anti-dumping
duties imposed by that Regulation,

— it has actually exported to the Community the goods
concerned after the investigation period, or it has
entered into any irrevocable contractual obligation to
export a significant quantity to the Community,

then that Regulation can be amended by granting that
party the duty rate applicable to cooperating producers
which were not in the sample,

i.e. 6,3 %.

Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 provides
furthermore that any party which met the criteria set out
in Article 4(1) thereof can also be exempted from the
payment of the anti-dumping duty if an undertaking
with regard to the EUR-pallet is accepted from such
party.

(3)

The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2079/98 (3)
amended Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 in its Annexes I
and II.

B. NEW EXPORTERS' REQUEST

(4)

Thirteen new Polish exporting producers having
requested the same treatment as the companies which
cooperated in the original
investigation but were not
included in the sample, have provided, on request,
evidence showing that they meet the requirements set
out in Article 4(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97. The
evidence provided by these applicant companies is
considered sufficient
to allow Regulation (EC) No
2334/97 to be amended by adding these 13 exporting
producers to Annex to the said Regulation. Annex I
specifies the exporting producers which shall be subject
to the weighted average duty of 6,3 %.

(3) OJ L 266, 1.10.1998, p. 1.

30. 9. 1999

(5)

Five of the 13 Polish exporting producers which will receive the weighted average duty of 6,3 %,
have also offered undertakings with regard to the EUR-pallet which were accepted by Commission
Decision 1999/642/EC (1). Consequently, these five companies should be added to Annex II to
Regulation (EC) No 2334/97, which contains a list of companies from which the Commission has
accepted undertakings with regard to imports of the EUR-pallet and to which the duty does not,
therefore, apply in this respect,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 shall be replaced by Annex I to this Regulation.

Annex II to Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 shall be replaced by Annex II to this Regulation.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.

Article 3

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 27 September 1999.
