Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Community of
certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or steel originating, inter alia, in Ukraine; change of the
names of two companies which are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty for co-operating
companies

(2007/C 288/10)

Imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or steel originating, inter alia, in the Ukraine are subject
to a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 954/2006 (1).

CJSC Nikopolsky Seamless Tubes Plant Niko Tube and OJSC Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant, compa-
nies located in Ukraine, whose exports to the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or
steel are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of 25,1 % by the above-mentioned Regulation, have
informed the Commission that their company names changed on 1 and 14 February 2007 respectively to
CJSC Interpipe Nikopolsky Seamless Tubes Plant Niko Tube and OJSC Interpipe Nizhnedneprovsky Tube
Rolling Plant. These company name changes were recorded by the State Tax Administration of Ukraine.

The companies argued that their changes of name do not affect their right to benefit from the individual
anti-dumping duty applied to them under their previous names of CJSC Nikopolsky Seamless Tubes Plant
Niko Tube and OJSC Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant.

The Commission has examined the information provided and has concluded that this change of names in
no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 954/2006. Therefore, the references to CJSC Nikopolsky
Seamless Tubes Plant Niko Tube and OJSC Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant should be read as CJSC
Interpipe Nikopolsky Seamless Tubes Plant Niko Tube and OJSC Interpipe Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling
Plant in Article 1 of Regulation (EC) No 954/2006.

The Taric additional code A743 previously attributed to CJSC Nikopolsky Seamless Tubes Plant Niko Tube
and OJSC Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant shall apply to CJSC Interpipe Nikopolsky Seamless Tubes
Plant Niko Tube and OJSC Interpipe Nizhnedneprovsky Tube Rolling Plant.
