               The facts as finally ascertained by the Commission show that for 24 of these applicants’ bicycle assembly operations, the value of the parts originating in the People’s Republic of China which were used in their assembly operations was lower than 60 % of the total value of the parts used in these assembly operations, and they, therefore, fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
            
         
               (5)
            
            
               Concerning the last party, although the facts show that the value of the parts originating in the People’s Republic of China which were used in its assembly operations was above 60 % of the total value of the parts used in the assembly operations, the value added was above 25 % of the manufacturing costs. Therefore the assembly operations of that party fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
            
         
               (6)
            
            
               For these reasons, and in accordance with Article 7(1) of the exemption Regulation, the parties listed in the above table should be exempted from the extended anti-dumping duty.
            
         
               (7)
            
            
               In accordance with Article 7(2) of the exemption Regulation, the exemption of the parties listed in Table 1 from the extended anti-dumping duty should take effect as from the date of receipt of their requests. In addition, their customs debt in respect of the extended anti-dumping duty is to be considered void as from the date of receipt of their requests for exemption.
            
         
               (8)
            
            
               It is to be noted that the following five parties listed in Table 1 informed the Commission services of a change in their name and/or in their legal seat, or transfer of assembly activity, during the examination period:
               
                           —
                        
                        
                           ‘Athletic International Sp. z o.o., ul. Drawska 21, 02-202 Warsaw, Poland’ transferred its assembly activity to ‘Athletic Manufacturing Sp. z o.o., ul. Drawska 21, 02-202 Warsaw, Poland’,

                           ‘Avantisbike — Fabrico de bicicletas SA, Rua do Casarão, 3750-869 Borralha, Portugal’ transferred its legal seat to ‘Zona Industrial de Oiã (Sul), Lt. B17, 3770-059 Oiã, Portugal’,
                        
                     
                           —
                        
                        
                           ‘CSEKE Trade Kft., Gyepsor u. 1., 1211 Budapest, Hungary’ transferred its legal seat to ‘Központi út 21–47., 1211 Budapest, Hungary’,
                        
                     
                           —
                        
                        
                           ‘Firma Wielobranżowa ART-POL — Artur Nowak, ul. Romera 4/20, 42-200 Częstochowa, Poland’ changed its name to ‘Firma Wielobranżowa “Mexller” Artur Nowak, ul. Romera 4/20, 42-200 Częstochowa, Poland’,
                        
                     
                           —
                        
                        
                           ‘PFIFF Vertriebs GmbH, Wilhelmstraße 58, 49610 Quakenbrück, Germany’ transferred its legal seat to ‘Wilhelmstraße 49, 49610 Quakenbrück, Germany’.
                        
                     
         
               (9)
            
            
               It has been established that these changes in the name and/or legal seat and transfer of assembly activity did not affect the assembly operations with regard to the stipulations of the exemption Regulation and therefore the Commission does not consider that these changes should affect the exemption from the extended anti-dumping duty.

               Four parties withdrew their request for exemption and informed the Commission accordingly.
            
         
               (12)
            
            
               One party failed to submit the requested information required for the examination of its request. For this reason, and in accordance with Article 7(3) of the exemption Regulation, the Commission informed this party that it intended to reject its request for exemption. This party was given an opportunity to comment. No comments were received.
            
         
               (13)
            
            
               Another party did not use the bicycle parts for the production or assembly of bicycles during the examination period, nor did it inform the Commission that it destroyed or re-exported them, which constitutes a breach of the obligations set out in Article 6(2) of the exemption Regulation. The party was informed accordingly and given an opportunity to comment. No comments were received.
            
         
               (14)
            
            
               Since the parties listed in Table 2 failed to meet the criteria for exemption set by Article 6(2) of the exemption Regulation, the Commission has to reject their requests for exemption, in accordance with Article 7(3) of the Regulation. In the light of this, the suspension of the payment of the extended anti-dumping duty referred to in Article 5 of the exemption Regulation must be lifted and the extended anti-dumping duty must be collected as from the date of receipt of the requests submitted by these parties.

               As regards this party, the Commission services were not in a position to verify whether the assembly operations of this party fall outside the scope of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation due to the bankruptcy procedure of the party instituted by the Bankruptcy Penal Tribunal held by the District Court of Ljubljana.
