New national side of euro coins intended for circulation
(2021/C 475/04)






National side of the new commemorative 2-euro coin intended for circulation and issued by Malta

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country: Malta

Subject of commemoration: Heroes of the pandemic

Description of the design: The design is created by Maria Anna Frisone and depicts two medical professional bracing themselves up to face the unknown. It is meant to extoll the services of these selfless individuals who have been on the forefront of the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic. At the top, in semi-circle, is the inscription ‘HEROES OF THE PANDEMIC’. At the bottom, in semi-circle, is the inscription ‘MALTA – 2021’.
The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Number of coins to be issued: 72 500

Date of issue: June 2021

Action brought on 25 November 2021 — Hangzhou Dingsheng Industrial Group and Others v Commission
(Case T-748/21)
(2022/C 84/58)
Language of the case: English

Parties


Applicants: Hangzhou Dingsheng Industrial Group Co., Ltd (Hangzhou, China), Dingheng New Materials Co., Ltd (Rayong, Thailand), Thai Ding Li New Materials Co., Ltd (Rayong) (represented by: G. Coppo and G. Pregno, lawyers)

Defendant: European Commission

Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/1474 (1) of 14 September 2021 extending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2384 and Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/271 on imports of certain aluminium foil originating in the People’s Republic of China to imports of certain aluminium foil consigned from Thailand, whether declared as originating in Thailand or not, published in the Official Journal L 325 of 15 September 2021, insofar as it concerns Hangzhou Dingsheng Industrial Group Co., Ltd., Dingheng New Materials Co., Ltd., and Thai Ding Li New Materials Co. Ltd; and,










—


order the Commission to bear the costs of these proceedings.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicant relies on two pleas in law.






1.


By their first plea, the applicants claim that the Contested Regulation is vitiated in law insofar as it concludes an investigation which was initiated — by means of the Initiation Regulation — without the Commission having met the standard of evidence required under Article 13(3) of the Basic Regulation (first limb of the first plea). In fact, the Commission blindly relied on the content of the Request, which is, however, incomplete and significantly flawed being based on unreliable information which the Commission did not verify or complement. Additionally, the applicants claim that the Commission failed to properly address the applicants’ comments on the unlawfulness of the initiation (second limb of the first plea).










2.


By their second plea, the applicants claim that the Commission did not provide an adequate statement of reason regarding the existence of the substantive elements listed in Article 13(1) of the Basic Regulation, and in particular regarding the requirement relating to the undermining of the remedial effects of the duties, in breach of Article 296 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and Article 20(2) of the Basic Regulation.
