Notice concerning the anti-dumping duty in force in respect of imports into the Community of
Polyethylene terephtalate film (PET film) originating inter alia in the Republic of Korea: modifi-
cation of the address of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty

(2003/C 254/02)

Imports of Polyethylene terephtalate film (PET film) originating in inter alia the Republic of Korea are
subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (1) (‘the
2001 Regulation’).

SKC Co. Ltd, a company located in the Republic of Korea, whose exports of Polyethylene terephtalate film
(PET film) to the Community are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of 7,5 % by the afore-
mentioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that
it has changed its company address on
several occasions from that cited in the 2001 Regulation i.e. SKC Building, 23-10 Youido-Dong, Yong-
dungpo-Gu, Seoul 150-010 Korea and on 16 June 2003, the new address became:

SKC Co. Ltd., Kyobo Gangnam Tower, 1303-22, Seocho 4 Dong, Seocho Gu, Seoul 137-074, Korea.

Previous company addresses and relevant dates since the Regulation came into force are set out below (*).

The company has asked the Commission to confirm that these changes of address do not affect the right
of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to the company under its former address
referred to above.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which demonstrates that all the company's
activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of PET film are unaffected by the changes of
address. The Commission therefore concludes that the changes of address in no way affects the findings of
Council Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001. In view of the absence of any substantive change of circum-
stances, the current address of SKC Co. Ltd should read SKC Co. Ltd, Kyobo Gangnam Tower, 1303-22,
Seocho 4 Dong, Seocho Gu, Seoul 137-074, Korea,
in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No
1676/2001.

The original Taric additional code A224 attributed to SKC Co. Ltd is unchanged.

(*) (1) From the 2001 Regulation to June 2003

SKC Co. Ltd
646-15 Wooshin Building,
Yeoksam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, 135-080 Korea.

WRITTEN QUESTION P-3209/03 by Christopher Huhne (ELDR) to the Commission. Clinical Trials Directive.

Could the Commission please state what EU funds are available for schools and whether any of these could
be used to avert teacher redundancies forced on schools by the Labour Government’s failure to fund
schools in the Greater London area properly?

Are there any funds available for repair and rebuilding of schools since many schools have had to use
money reserved for capital and repairs to avoid teacher redundancies?

Answer given by Mr Barnier on behalf of the Commission

(28 November 2003)

Article 149, paragraph 1, of the EC Treaty clearly defines the respective competencies of the Member States
and of the Community in the field of education. The Community supports the development of quality
education while fully respecting the responsibility of the Member States for the content of teaching and the
organisation of education systems. Community financing, notably in the framework of the Socrates
programme, encourages cooperation between Member States, but cannot directly contribute to the
operating costs of schools.

Within the framework of the Structural Funds of the European Union, investment costs in the education
sector are eligible for support from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) only in the least
developed regions of the Community eligible under Objective 1 in accordance with Article 2, paragraph 1,
of the ERDF Regulation (1).

The European Social Fund on the other hand can support actions throughout the Union in the field of
education and training relating to the labour market, human resource development and employment in
accordance with Articles 2 and 3 of the ESF Regulation (2).

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3128/03

by Jaime Valdivielso de Cué (PPE-DE) to the Commission

(23 October 2003)

Subject: Trade

Some draft conclusions were drawn up in preparation for negotiations on the agriculture chapter at the
failed WTO talks in Cancún that would involve cutting back subsidies under the common agricultural
policy, which has just been reformed.

Does the European Union intend to accept these new conditions even though no agreement was reached
on this matter in Cancún?

What is the European Union’s margin for manoeuvre on agriculture for the next multilateral negotiations,
without it having to introduce fresh reforms to the CAP?

Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission

(25 November 2003)

Due to the course of events in Cancun, Ministers did not have the opportunity to discuss the Agricultural
part of the draft Ministerial Declaration submitted by Mr Derbez. This chapter contained some proposals
of great concern to the Commission, notably in the pillars of domestic support and export competition.
Had the discussion started in Cancun, the Commission would have sought the necessary changes to the
text.

The Commission has based its position on the decisions on the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform
taken in Luxembourg in 2003. The depth and width of the CAP reform will enable the Commission to
continue working on this basis in the future so as to maintain the consistency of the World Trade
Organisation (WTO) negotiations with the Community’s domestic framework.

WRITTEN QUESTION E-3131/03

by José Ribeiro e Castro (UEN) to the Commission

(23 October 2003)

Subject:

‘Sorraia’ horses

A race of horses well on its way to extinction, the Iberian horse, popularly known as the ‘Sorraia’ horse, is
seen by specialists as possibly the original primitive horse native to the Iberian Peninsula.

Their reasons are that it is faithfully depicted in cave paintings in the Spanish La Pileta cave and the
Portuguese Escoural cave. It is believed that this type of horse was used for Roman cavalry, and that it was
taken to the Americas during the colonial period, giving rise to the majority of the types of horse now
found there. It is apparently also the source of the national races of horse to be found in Spain (cid:1) the
Andalusian horse (cid:1) and Portugal (cid:1) the Lusitanian horse.

Portugal is home to the largest population of these ‘Sorraia’ horses, estimated to number fewer than one
hundred in 2002.

For these reasons, and others, the ‘Sorraia’ horse represents a unique genetic heritage, in view of its rarity
and primitive character.
