Notice concerning the countervailing measures in force in respect of imports into the Community
of cotton-type bed linen originating in India: modification of the name of a company subject to an
individual countervailing duty rate

(2006/C 172/06)

Imports of cotton-type bed linen, originating in India are subject to a definitive countervailing duty,
imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 74/2004 of 13 January 2004 (1).

Anunay Fab. Pvt. Ltd, a company located in India, whose exports to the Community of cotton-type bed
linen are subject to a countervailing duty of 7.6 % imposed pursuant to Article 1(3) of Regulation (EC)
No 74/2004, has informed the Commission that on 23 November 2005, as a result of a change in the
company's legal form, it changed its name to Anunay Fab. Ltd.

The company has argued 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 of Anunay Fab. Pvt. Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no
way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 74/2004. Therefore, the reference to Anunay Fab. Pvt. Ltd.
should be read as Anunay Fab. Ltd. in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 74/2004.

The Taric additional code A498 previously attributed to Anunay Fab. Pvt. Ltd shall apply to Anunay Fab.
Ltd.

1.
On 14 July 2006, the Commission received a notification of a proposed concentration pursuant to
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (1) by which the Blackstone Group (‘Blackstone’ USA)
acquires within the meaning of Article 3(1)(b) of the Council Regulation sole control of the whole of
Travelport Inc. (‘Travelport’, USA), via purchase of shares.

2.

The business activities of the undertakings concerned are:

— Blackstone: a private merchant banking firm active mainly in financial advisory services, private equity

and property investments;

— Travelport: a geographically diverse collection of travel distribution brands and businesses.

On preliminary examination, the Commission finds that the notified concentration could fall within
the scope of Regulation (EC) No 139/2004. However, the final decision on this point is reserved. Pursuant
to the Commission Notice on a simplified procedure for treatment of certain concentrations under Council
Regulation (EC) No 139/2004 (2) it should be noted that this case is a candidate for treatment under the
procedure set out in the Notice.

The Commission invites interested third parties to submit their possible observations on the proposed
