The only exception would be if a relevant new fact was to be revealed (cid:1) in particular in the criminal
proceedings mentioned in point 3 (cid:1) which had previously been unknown to the Commission and the
Court. If that was to happen, the Commission would naturally take any appropriate steps as a result.
However, those proceedings are still pending. The Commission would point out that it has intervened in
those proceedings as ‘partie civile’ in order to take advantage of any possibility of taking further steps,
should it arise.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-0532/03

by Glyn Ford (PSE) to the Commission

(19 February 2003)

Subject: Removal of tariff suspension for CRTs

The Commission is proposing to end the current EC tariff suspension for the cathode ray tube (CRT) due
to an objection, proposed by the Netherlands, stating that LG-Philips in Eindhoven can supply identical or
equivalent products.

Within the south-west of England, Toshiba is a major importer of CRTs.

Were this tariff suspension to cease it would have the following effect:

(cid:1) Toshiba would be unlikely to be able to purchase the CRTs produced by LG-Philips because the

mechanical dimensions are incompatible with Toshiba 36 televisions; however,

(cid:1) if Toshiba continued to purchase its CRTs from outside the Community as it currently does, but with
the tariff applied, prices would increase, and sales would drop by around 25 %; Toshiba estimates that
this would have a knock-on effect of a reduction in the workforce in Plymouth of 50 people;

(cid:1) LG-Philips would gain a monopoly as the only producer of CRTs within the EU market.

Would the Commission indicate what it plans to do to respond to these concerns and what its future plans
are with respect to this tariff suspension?
