(200) Should the exports by one of the companies benefiting from lower individual duty rates increase significantly in volume after the imposition of the measures concerned, such an increase in volume could be considered as constituting in itself a change in the pattern of trade due to the imposition of measures within the meaning of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation.
In such circumstances and provided the conditions are met an anticircumvention investigation may be initiated.
This investigation may, inter alia, examine the need for the removal of individual duty rate(s) and the consequent imposition of a country-wide duty.
(201) The individual company anti-dumping duty rates specified in this Regulation are exclusively applicable to imports of the product under review originating in the People’s Republic of China and produced by the named legal entities.
Imports of the product under review produced by any other company not specifically mentioned in the operative part of this Regulation, including entities related to those specifically mentioned, should be subject to the duty rate applicable to ‘all other companies’.
They should not be subject to any of the individual anti-dumping duty rates.
(202) A company may request the application of these individual anti-dumping duty rates if it changes subsequently the name of its entity.
The request must be addressed to the Commission (57).
The request must contain all the relevant information enabling to demonstrate that the change does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the duty rate which applies to it.
If the change of name of the company does not affect its right to benefit from the duty rate which applies to it, a regulation about the change of name will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(203) All interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend that the existing measures be maintained.
They were also granted a period to make representations subsequent to this disclosure.
Minor corrections in the data of the Union industry were addressed in this Regulation, no other comments were received.
(204) In view of Article 109 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2018/1046 of the European Parliament and of the Council (58) when an amount is to be reimbursed following a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the interest to be paid should be the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its principal refinancing operations, as published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union on the first calendar day of each month.
(205) The measures provided for in this regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) Regulation (EU) 2016/1036,
