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 in the People's Republic of China: modification of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate
2009/C 311/10
Imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in the People's Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 926/2009 of 24 September 2009 (1).
Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., Ltd., a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose exports to the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel are subject to an anti-dumping duty of 27,2 % imposed pursuant to Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 926/2009, has informed the Commission that on 3 December 2008, it has changed its name to Hebei Hongling Seamless Steel Pipes Manufacturing Co., 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 Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., 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 926/2009. Therefore, the reference to Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., Ltd. should be read as Hebei Hongling Seamless Steel Pipes Manufacturing Co., Ltd., in the Annex of Regulation (EC) No 926/2009.
The Taric additional code A950 previously attributed to Handan Precise Seamless Steel Pipes Co., Ltd. shall apply to Hebei Hongling Seamless Steel Pipes Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
