COMMISSION

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

(2007/C 262/13)

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

Ramesh Textiles, a company located in India, whose exports to the Community of cotton-type bed linen are
subject to an individual countervailing duty rate of 7,6 % imposed pursuant to Article 1(3) of Regulation
(EC) No 74/2004, has informed the Commission that on 1 April 2007, it changed its name to Ramesh
Textiles India Pvt. 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 Ramesh Textiles.

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 Ramesh Textiles should be
read as Ramesh Textiles India Pvt. Ltd in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 74/2004.

The Taric additional code A498 previously attributed to Ramesh Textiles shall apply to Ramesh Textiles
India Pvt. Ltd.
