            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2024/967
of 2 April 2024
         
amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1996 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain prepared or preserved sweetcorn in kernels originating in the Kingdom of Thailand following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council


THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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


Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1), and in particular Article 14(1) thereof,

Whereas:







(1)


Imports of certain prepared or preserved sweetcorn in kernels originating in Thailand are subject to definitive anti-dumping duties imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1996 (2).












(2)


Sun Sweet Co., Ltd., TARIC (3) additional code A792, a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 11,1 %, informed the Commission on 7 March 2023 that it had changed its name to Sunsweet Public Company Limited.












(3)


The company requested the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty rate applied to it under its previous name.












(4)


The Commission examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name was properly registered with the relevant authorities and did not result in any new relationship with other groups of companies involved with sales of the product concerned which were not investigated by the Commission.












(5)


Accordingly, this change of name does not affect the findings of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1996 and in particular the anti-dumping duty rate applicable to it.












(6)


The name change should take effect as of 7 March 2023. The company was contacted regarding the applicable date. The company confirmed that whilst the name changed took place as of 4 September 2017, it only requested the Commission to confirm the name change as of 7 March 2023.












(7)


Given the considerations in the recitals above, the Commission considered it appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/1996 to reflect the changed name of the company previously attributed to additional TARIC code A792.












(8)


The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036,





HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:



Article 1
