Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain side-by-side refrigerators originating in the Republic of Korea: change of the address of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty
2010/C 143/10
Imports of certain side-by-side refrigerators, originating in the Republic of Korea are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1289/2006 (1).
Daewoo Electronics Corporation, a company located in the Republic of Korea, whose exports to the Union of certain side-by-side refrigerators are subject to an anti-dumping duty of 3,4 % imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2006, has informed the Commission that on 8 August 2008, it changed its address.
The company has argued that the change of address does not affect its right to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to it under its previous address of:





686 Ahyeon-dong




Mapo-gu




Seoul




SOUTH KOREA




The company submitted sufficient evidence to establish that the change of the address was due to an internal reorganisation of the company resulting in a relocation of the company's headquarters.
The Commission has examined the information provided and has concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2006. Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1289/2006 to:





Daewoo Electronics Corporation




686 Ahyeon-dong




Mapo-gu




Seoul




SOUTH KOREA




should be read as:





Daewoo Electronics Corporation




Narakeyum Jeodong Building 1




Jeo-dong1(il)-ga




Jung-gu




Seoul




SOUTH KOREA




The Taric additional code A733 shall apply to:





Daewoo Electronics Corporation
