Notice concerning the countervailing measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain stainless steel bars and rods originating in India: change of name of one company subject to an individual countervailing duty rate
(2015/C 117/04)
Imports of certain stainless steel bars originating in India are subject to countervailing duties imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 405/2011 (1) (‘Regulation (EU) No 405/2011’).
Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Thane, a company subject to an individual countervailing duty of 0 %, following Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 721/2013 (2) (‘Regulation (EU) No 721/2013’) amending Regulation (EU) No 405/2011, notified the Commission of its change of name and locations to Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.
The company argued that its change of name and locations does not affect its right to continue to benefit from the individual countervailing duty rate previously applied to Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Thane.
The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name and locations in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EU) No 405/2011, amended by Regulation (EU) No 721/2013.
Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 405/2011 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EU) No 721/2013 to:
Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Thane
should be read as:
Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.
The TARIC additional code B004, previously attributed to Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, Thane, shall apply to Viraj Profiles Limited, Palghar, Maharashtra and Mumbai, Maharashtra.
