Notice on the application of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1131 establishing a customs tool in order to implement Article 14a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council and Article 24a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council
(2019/C 366/13)
In accordance with Article 14a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 (1) and Article 24a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 (2), the European Commission adopted Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1131 (3) (‘Customs Tool’) on 3 July 2019.
Article 14a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 and Article 24a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 permit the extension of anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties on goods brought in significant quantities to an artificial island, a fixed or floating installation or any other structure in the continental shelf of a Member State or the exclusive economic zone declared by a Member State pursuant to UNCLOS, where this would cause injury to the Union industry. In cases where the regulation imposing anti-dumping and/or countervailing measures explicitly provides for such an extension into those areas, the Customs Tool lays down the conditions for the levying of anti-dumping and/or countervailing duties as well as procedures relating to the notification and declaration of such products and the payment of such duty.
In order to give customs authorities sufficient time to prepare for the processing of receipt declarations, Article 9 of the Customs Tool deferred the application of the provisions of the Customs Tool by four months from the date of its publication in the Official Journal.
Article 14a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 and Article 24a of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 stipulate that the Commission shall inform all economic operators that the Customs Tool is operational by a separate publication.
The Commission hereby informs all economic operators that the Customs Tool will become operational and fully applicable as of 4 November 2019.
