originating in Latvia exported to the Community by this company were exempted from the
anti-dumping duty by Article 2(1) and (3) of the abovementioned Regulation.

Following changes in its trading activities, AS ‘Bolderâja’, advised the Commission that it wished to
withdraw its undertaking. Accordingly, by Commission Decision 2001/707/EC (5), the name of this
company has been deleted from the list of companies from which undertakings are accepted in
Article 1(1) of Decision 1999/71/EC.
