Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community
of hardboard originating, inter alia, in Poland: modification of the name of a company with an
individual duty rate from which an undertaking was accepted

(2003/C 78/03)

in Poland are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties,
Imports of hardboard originating,
imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 194/199 (1) as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No
1899/2001 (2).

inter alia,

An undertaking was accepted by Commission Decision 1999/71/EC (3) as amended by Commission
Decision 2001/707/EC (4) from Zakłady Płyt Pils´niowych SA w Krosnie Odrzanskim, a Polish company,
whose exports to the Community of hardboard are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of
11,0 % by the aforementioned Regulation.

The company has informed the Commission that it has changed its name into Hardex SA. The company
has asked the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to
benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its previous name Zakłady Płyt
Pils´niowych SA w Krosnie Odrzanskim nor the right to benefit from the undertaking given by the
company, in respect of product types covered by the undertaking, under its previous name.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which demonstrates that all the company's
activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of hardboard are unaffected by the change of
name. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of name in no way affects the findings of
Council Regulation (EC) No 194/1999 and Commission Decision 1999/71/EC. In view of the absence of
the reference to Zakłady Płyt Pils´niowych SA w Krosnie
any substantive change of circumstances,
Odrzanskim should be read as Hardex SA in Articles 1(2) and 2(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No
194/1999 and in Article 1(1) of Commission Decision 1999/71/EC.

The Taric additional codes 8495 and 8547 previously attributed to Zakłady Płyt Pils´niowych SA w Krosnie
Odrzanskim shall be replaced by the Taric additional code A 433 attributed to Hardex SA (ex: Zakłady Płyt
Pils´niowych SA w Krosnie Odrzanskim).
