AMENDMENTS

Amendment 1
RECITAL 2

Deleted

(2) The special premium for male bovine animals provided for in
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 is one of the
main support instruments for beef/veal production. The premium is
currently subject to a regional ceiling. If the number of animals that
can qualify for the special premium is smaller, there will be less incen-
tive to produce. In addition, the introduction of a system of individual
rights will make management more precise than by using a regional
ceiling. A system of this sort, based on payments made in previous
years, plus 3 % to create a reserve, should therefore be introduced,
without exceeding the regional ceilings currently in force.

Information from the Commission – Notice concerning anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of polyester yarn originating, inter alia, in Turkey: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

Notice concerning anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of
polyester yarn originating, inter alia, in Turkey: modification of the name of a company subject to
an individual anti-dumping duty rate

(2001/C 143/02)

Imports of polyester yarn originating, inter alia, in Turkey are subject to definitive anti-dumping measures,
imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 3905/88 (1).

Sasa Artificial and Synthetic Fibres Inc., a Turkish company whose exports to the Community of polyester
yarn are subject to an individual duty rate of 3,3 % and 8,7 % for POY and PTY respectively by the
aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that it has changed its name to Sasa Dupont
Sabanci Polyester Sanayi AS with effect
from 1 August 2000. The Commission has examined the
information supplied, which demonstrates that all the company’s activities linked to the manufacturing,
sales and exports of polyester yarn are unaffected by the change of name. The Commission is satisfied that
the change of name in no way affects the findings contained in Regulation (EC) No 3905/88 or in
Regulation (EC) No 1074/96 (2) and therefore concludes that the change of name should not prejudice
the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rates applied to the company under its
previous name of Sasa Artificial and Synthetic Fibres Inc.

Hence, the reference to Sasa Artificial and Synthetic Fibres Inc., Adana, should be read as Sasa Dupont
Sabanci Polyester Sanayi AS in Articles 1 and 2 of Regulation (EC) No 3905/88 with effect from 1 August
2000.

The TARIC additional codes 8895 for POY and 8166 for PTY previously attributed to Sasa Artificial and
Synthetic Fibres Inc. remains applicable to it under the new name, Sasa Dupont Sabanci Polyester Sanayi
AS.
