Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China: change of the name of companies subject to the anti-dumping duty rate for cooperating non-sampled companies
2014/C 414/06
Imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware (‘tableware’) originating in the People’s Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 412/2013 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) No 412/2013’).
Seven companies located in the People’s Republic of China, whose exports to the Union of tableware are subject to the anti-dumping duty rate for cooperating non-sampled companies of 17,9 %, have informed the Commission that they have changed their names as set out below.
The companies argued that their change of name does not affect their right to benefit from the duty applied to them under their previous names.
The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) No 412/2013.
Therefore, the references in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 412/2013 regarding these companies should be read as below and the TARIC additional codes applied accordingly:

Language of the case: Czech

Parties


Applicant: European Commission (represented by: P. Němečková and G. Wilms, acting as Agents)

Defendant: Czech Republic

Form of order sought







—


declare that, by failing to recognise certain Netherlands hallmarks, in particular hallmarks of Waarborg Holland, the Czech Republic has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 34 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union;










—


order the Czech Republic to pay the costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments







1.


By failing to recognise certain Netherlands hallmarks, the Czech Republic is restricting the free movement of precious metals marked with those hallmarks and of objects produced from those metals.










2.


Even if precious metal is hallmarked by a branch of a Netherlands hallmarking office in a third State, such products should be treated in the same way as goods originating in the European Union, in view of the fact that the precious metals are hallmarked in accordance with the Netherlands rules and are definitively released into free circulation.










3.


The Czech Republic has not shown that the possible restriction of the free movement of goods is appropriate for ensuring achievement of the consumer protection objective pursued and does not go beyond what is necessary for achieving it.

1.


The Combined Nomenclature 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, as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1832/2002 of 1 August 2002 must be interpreted as meaning that modules, each consisting of the interconnection of a light emitting diode, a photo-diode and a number of other semiconductor devices, and which may be used as infrared transmitters/receivers where their electricity supply derives from the devices in which they are incorporated, come under CN heading 8543 of that nomenclature;










2.


The Combined Nomenclature in Annex I to Regulation No 2658/87, as amended by Regulation No 1832/2002 must be interpreted as meaning that modules such as those at issue in the main proceedings incorporated in devices for the mechanical or electrical functioning of which they are not necessary, do not constitute parts for the purposes of subheading 8543 90 80 of that nomenclature, but do come under subheading 8543 89 95 of that nomenclature, relating to other electrical machines and apparatus having individual functions, not specified or included elsewhere in Chapter 85 of that nomenclature.

2014/C 414/07
Imports of ceramic tiles originating in the People’s Republic of China are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 917/2011 of 12 September 2011 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) No 917/2011’).
Shanghai Cimic Tile Co.

The company argued that their change of name does not affect their right to benefit from the duty applied to the company under its previous name of Shanghai Cimic Tile Co. Ltd
The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) No 917/2011.
Therefore, the reference in Annex I of Regulation (EU) No 917/2011 to:

Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of melamine originating in the People’s Republic of China: change of the name of one company subject to the minimum import price
2014/C 414/05
Imports of melamine originating in the People’s Republic of China are subject either to a minimum import price or an anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 457/2011 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) No 457/2011’).
On 6 August 2014, Shandong Liaherd Chemical Industry Co., Ltd, a company subject to the minimum import price, notified the Commission of its change of name to Holitech Technology Co., Ltd.
The company argued that their change of name does not affect their right to continue to benefit from the minimum import price.
The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) No 457/2011.
Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 457/2011 to:
Shandong Liaherd Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.
should be read as:
