Notice concerning anti-dumping measures on imports of silicon originating in Russia

(2007/C 188/05)

By its judgment of 14 March 2007 in Case T-107/04, the Court of First Instance of the European
Communities annulled Council Regulation (EC) No 2229/2003 (1) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty
and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of silicon originating in Russia, as last
amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 821/2004 (2), in so far as it concerns silicon imported into the
European Community by:

— Aluminium Silicon Mill Products (ASMP) GmbH,

and manufactured by the following related producers in Russia:

— SKU LLC, Sual-Kremny-Ural, Kamensk, Ural Region, Russia,

— ZAO KREMNY, Irkutsk, Irkutsk Region, Russia.

Consequently, the definitive anti-dumping duties paid pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 2229/2003 on
imports into the European Community of silicon falling within CN code 2804 69 00 imported and manu-
factured by the above-mentioned companies under TARIC additional code A465, and the provisional duties
definitively collected in accordance with Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 2229/2003, should be reimbursed.
The reimbursement must be requested from national customs authorities in accordance with applicable
customs legislation.

As a consequence of the judgment of 14 March 2007, silicon imported into the European Community by
Aluminium Silicon Mill Products GmbH and manufactured by SKU LLC, Sual-Kremny-Ural, Kamensk, Ural
Region, Russia and ZAO KREMNY, Irkutsk, Irkutsk Region, Russia are no longer subject to the anti-dumping
measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2229/2003 nor consequently are these companies any
longer bound by the undertaking accepted by Commission Decision 2004/445/EC (3) in connection with
the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of silicon originating in Russia.
