COMMISSION DECISION

of 27 June 2000

accepting undertakings in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of flat
pallets of wood originating in the Republic of Poland

(notified under document number C(2000) 1668)

(2000/437/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

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), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98 (2), and in particular
Article 8(1) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1023/97 of
6 June 1997 imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on
certain imports of flat pallets of wood originating in Poland
and accepting undertakings offered from certain exporters in
connection with those imports (3), as amended by Regulations
(EC) No 1632/97 (4) and (EC) No 1633/97 (5), and in particular
Article 2 thereof,

After consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

A. PREVIOUS PROCEDURE

(1)

referred to as

The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1023/97 (here-
inafter
‘the provisional Regulation’),
imposed provisional 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
from certain
and

undertakings

exporting producers. These undertakings concerned only
i. e. the EUR pallet.
one pallet type,

Since sampling was used in the investigation, requests
for reviews under Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No
384/96 could not be accepted. However,
in order to
ensure equal treatment between new exporters and the
cooperating companies not
included in the sample
during the original investigation, the provisional Regula-
tion was amended. Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No
1632/97 stipulated that new Polish exporting producers
could have undertakings accepted with regard to exports
of EUR pallets, provided they satisfied the criteria set out
therein.

By Regulation (EC) No 2334/97 (6), as last amended by
Regulation (EC) No 2048/1999 (7), the Council imposed
a definitive anti-dumping duty on certain imports of flat
pallets of wood originating in the Republic of Poland.

B. NEW EXPORTERS' REQUEST

Following the adoption of Regulation (EC) No 2334/97,
six further new Polish exporting producers have
requested that Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1023/97
be applied to them and they offered undertakings with
regard to the EUR pallets. They have also provided
sufficient evidence pursuant to Article 2 of Regulation
(EC) No 1023/97 showing that they are genuine new
exporting producers. In application of Article 2 of Regu-
lation (EC) No 1023/97, the undertakings offered by
these six Polish exporting producers with regard to the
EUR pallet should therefore be accepted.

C. WITHDRAWAL OF UNDERTAKING

Two Polish exporting producers, P.P.H.
‘Pamadex’ and
P.H.U. ‘Akropol’, from which the Commission accepted
an undertaking under Regulation (EC) No 1023/97, have
stated that they do not produce the product concerned
any longer. Therefore, the Commission informed them
that it is intended to remove them from the list of
companies from which an undertaking was accepted.
The two companies did not object to this course of
action. It should also be noted that those two companies
could again offer an undertaking should they decide to
resume production and exports of the EUR pallets.
