Notice concerning anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of
certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating in the Ukraine: modification
of the name of a company from which an undertaking was accepted

(2001/C 198/02)

The Commission has received a request to take account of a modification of name from a Ukrainian
company, Nikopolsky Seamless Tube Plant (cid:145)Niko Tube(cid:146)
(previously known as Nikopol Pivdennotrubny
Works, Nikopol), whose exports to the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or
non-alloy steel originating in the Ukraine are subject to anti-dumping measures pursuant to Council
Regulation (EC) No 348/2000 of 14 February 2000 (1)
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on
imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating,
in the
Ukraine, and pursuant to Commission Decision 2000/137/EC of 17 February 2000 accepting a joint
undertaking offered by three Ukrainian exporters in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding
concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel originating, inter alia,
in the Ukraine (2).

inter alia,

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which satisfactorily demonstrates that
the
company’s export activities of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or non-alloy steel are unaffected
by the change of name. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of company name in no way
affects the findings of the investigation, in particular the exemption from the duty imposed by Regulation
(EC) No 348/2000 and the joint undertaking accepted by Decision 2000/137/EC.

Accordingly, the right of the renamed company to benefit from the anti-dumping measure in force should
remain.

Therefore,
Seamless Tube Plant (cid:145)Niko Tube(cid:146)
Article 1 of Decision 2000/137/EC.

the reference to Nikopol Pivdennotrubny Works, Nikopol should be read as Nikopolsky
in Articles 1(2) and 2(4) of Regulation (EC) No 348/2000 and in

Similarly, the Taric additional code A066 previously attributed to Nikopol Pivdennotrubny Works, Nikopol,
should remain applicable to the company under its new name, Nikopolsky Seamless Tube Plant (cid:145)Niko
Tube(cid:146).

Answer given by Mr Prodi on behalf of the Commission

(8 October 2001)

The White Paper was adopted by the Commission on 25 July 2001 (1). The text is available on the Europa
site (http://europa.eu.int/governance/white_paper/index_en.htm) and will shortly be published in brochure
form by the Publications Office.

The White Paper was drafted by the Commission. Preparatory work involved most departments, meeting
within twelve working parties set up and coordinated by a team reporting to the Secretary-General. The
themes and working methods were adopted by the Commission on 11 October 2000 (2).

Preparatory work included workshops, surveys, consultations and hearings of people outside the
Commission. A detailed report on these consultations has been drawn up. It will be included in the
preparatory documents to the White Paper which will be published shortly. A copy of the report is being
sent direct to the Honourable Member and Parliament’s Secretariat.

The White Paper did not have a budget of its own. The necessary human and financial resources were
financed from administrative appropriations regularly allocated by the budgetary authority to the
Commission in order to carry out its tasks.

by Chris Davies (ELDR) and Monica Frassoni (Verts/ALE) to the Commission

Subject: Lefke Copper Mines, Cyprus

(13 July 2001)

Has the Commission any concerns about possible future damage to the ecology of the Mediterranean Sea
as a result of cyanide and other pollutants escaping from the workings around the abandoned copper
mines at Lefke in occupied northern Cyprus?

Will the Commission give consideration to the possibility of using funds allocated for bi-communal
activities on Cyprus to carry out a study into this issue?

Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission

(4 September 2001)

The Commission is aware of the Lefke copper mine in northern Cyprus and the environmental fears that
have been expressed from some quarters. The Commission will decide whether there is scope for a
Community initiative in this area on the basis of the results of an assessment study being launched by the
United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS).

Subject: Loans to immigrants for business activity

(13 July 2001)

There is experience in the Member States of providing special forms of loan to promote business activity
by women. These have, obviously, been aimed only at women and have fostered greater enterprise among
them.

Do similar loan schemes exist in the Member States for business activity by immigrants?

If they do, what effect have they had on immigrants(cid:146) social situation and in helping them to put down
roots in their new environment?

If such schemes do not exist, would it be possible to launch a common EU project to introduce them in
the Member States?

Answer given by Mr Vitorino on behalf of the Commission

(12 September 2001)

The Commission is considering the opportunity to put forward new proposals in 2002 to promote the
integration of immigrants. Subject to the adoption of these proposals and to the provision of the necessary
resources, the suggestion made by the Honorable Member could be considered within the context of the
activities to be supported.

Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission

(31 July 2001)

Community environmental legislation on this issue is enforced through Regulation (EC) no 2037/2000 of
the Parliament and of the Council of 29 June 2000 on substances that deplete the ozone layer (1). There
are provisions in this Regulation, notably Article 16, that require the Member States to promote the
recovery, recycling, reclamation and destruction of controlled substances such as chlorofluorocarbons
(CFCs) whose production, consumption and placing on the market, apart from clearly defined exceptions,
are prohibited. This regulation will be in force in Cyprus from the date of accession.

Cyprus is in the process of establishing a strategy for the control of ozone depleting substances. The
Commission understands that on the basis of this strategy Cyprus will take the necessary steps to ensure
that the provisions of Regulation (EC) no 2037/00 are incorporated into its legislation. The Commission
will monitor developments in Cyprus with respect to this issue.

Subject: EU candidacy of Turkey

Has the Commission made clear to the Government of Turkey that accession negotiations with that
country cannot begin until the problem of the division of Cyprus, and the occupation of part of the island
by the Turkish army, has been resolved?

What is the Commission(cid:146)s understanding of the attitude of Turkey regarding the need to resolve the
Cyprus problem and establish a state on the island with a single international status?

When does the Commission intend to raise these issues with the Turkish authorities?

Answer given by Mr Verheugen on behalf of the Commission

(31 July 2001)

As with all other candidate countries, accession negotiations cannot begin before the political criteria
established by the Copenhagen European Council in 1993 have been satisfied.

Turkey has confirmed,
in the framework of the enhanced political dialogue, pursuant to the Helsinki
European Council Conclusions of the 10/11 December 1999, that it supports the efforts by the United
the Cyprus problem. The

Nations Secretary General
Commission regrets however that until now this commitment has not produced concrete results.

The Commission will continue to raise this issue with Turkey on all appropriate occasions.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-2117/01

by Chris Davies (ELDR) to the Commission

(13 July 2001)

Subject: Colza

Given the fact that colza, coming as it does from oil seed rape, is a renewable source of energy, what steps
does the Commission plan to take to encourage the wider use throughout the European Union of this
resource, which is already being used by a bus company in Toulouse?

Answer given by Mrs de Palacio on behalf of the Commission

(26 September 2001)

Under Community programmes such as the 5th Framework Programme in the field of research and
technological development (RTD) and the programme for the promotion of alternative energy sources
(Altener), the Commission has supported projects concerning the production of biofuels, including their
use in public transport. Biodiesel produced from colza is one of the standardisation mandates funded
under the Altener programme that the European Committee for Standardisation (CEN) is in the process of
drawing up for the Commission.

The Commission maintains its intention to promote the use of biofuels in transport, including biodiesel
produced from colza and other crops, extending beyond support under Community programmes.

To this end, a communication is being prepared on a medium- and long-term strategy for alternative fuels,
together with two proposals for Directives, one on a minimum level of biofuels in the total volume of fuels
sold on the European market, and the other on the possibility of a tax reduction for biofuels.

According to its work programme for 2001, the communication should be adopted by the Commission in
the fourth quarter of 2001.
