Where an employee resident in Member State A and who has been in insurable employment in that State for just short of three years spends the last six months of her insurable employment in Member State B, should that person’s subsequent claim for social security payments on account of illness be governed by (i) the law of Member State B for the purposes of Article 11(3)(a) of Regulation 883/2004/EC (1)? or, (ii) by the law of the Member State A where she is resident for the purposes of Article 11(3)(e)?










2.


Is it relevant to a consideration of Question 1 that if the law of Member State B is held to be the governing law, then the employee in question is ineligible for any social security payments, whereas this would not be the case if the law of the Member State where she is resident (Member State A) were held to apply?’

An area of protection 
and solidarity for the most vulnerable

The Common European Asylum System (CEAS) has been my top 
priority since the beginning of my mandate and I have been involved in 
negotiations since the first day. Getting the CEAS in place is an historic 
achievement, something the EU Member States and the Parliament have 
been aiming at since 1999.

The CEAS will provide better access to the asylum procedure for those 
who seek protection; will lead to fairer, quicker and better quality 
asylum decisions; will ensure that people in fear of persecution will not 
be returned to danger; and will provide dignified and decent conditions 
both for those who apply for asylum and those who are granted 
international protection within the EU.

We have travelled a tough road to get here. But our achievement is not 
yet fully complete. We now need to put in a great effort to implement 
our legislation and ensure this common system will function well and 
uniformly. Only then we will have an area of protection and solidarity 
deserving its name - an achievement that we can be proud of.

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China: modification of the address of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate
2013/C 202/05
Imports of citric acid, originating in People's Republic of China are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008 of 1 December 2008 (1).
COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd, a company located in the People's Republic of China, whose exports to the Union of citric acid are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 35,7 %, pursuant to Article 1(2) of the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that on 25 December 2012 its address has changed to No 1 COFCO Avenue, Bengbu City. The company submitted that the change of address does not affect its right to benefit from the individual duty rate under its previous address of No 73, Daqing Road, Bengbu City.
The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of address in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008. Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008 to No 73 Daqing Road, Bengbu City should be read as No 1 COFCO Avenue, Bengbu City.
The TARIC additional code A874 previously attributed to COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd — No 73, Daqing Road, Bengbu City 233010, Anhui Province, PRC shall apply to COFCO Biochemical (Anhui) Co., Ltd — No 1 COFCO Avenue, Bengbu City 233010, Anhui Province, PRC.
