amending Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,


Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 7, 8 and 9 thereof,


After consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

PROCEDURE







(1)


By Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 (2), the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China (PRC).










(2)


By Decision 2013/423/EU (3) the Commission accepted the undertaking offer from a group of cooperating exporting producers together with the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (CCCME).










(3)


The acceptance of the undertaking requires technical amendments to Regulation (EU) No 513/2013,




HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 is amended as follows:






(1)


A new heading J and a new recital 282 shall be inserted:
‘J.   CUSTOMS DECLARATION







(282)


Statistics of solar panels and their key components are frequently expressed either in number of pieces or Watt. However, there is no such supplementary unit for solar panels and their key components specified in the Combined Nomenclature laid down in Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (*1). It is therefore necessary to provide that not only the weight in kg or tonnes but also the number of pieces or Watt for the imports of the product concerned must be entered in the declaration for release for free circulation. Pieces should be indicated for TARIC codes 3818 00 10 11 and 3818 00 10 19 and Watt shall be indicated for TARIC codes 8541 40 90 21, 8541 40 90 29, 8541 40 90 31 and 8541 40 90 39.
