COMMISSION DECISION of 7 October 1998 concerning an application submitted by DIP Electronics Ltd for the refund of anti-dumping duties due on certain imports of DRAMs originating in Japan (notified under document number C(1998) 2966) (Only the English text is authentic) (98/579/EC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 905/98 (2), and in particular Article 11(8) thereof,
After consulting the Advisory Committee,
A. PROCEDURE
(1) Council Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90 (3) imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain types of electronic micro-circuits known as DRAMs (dynamic random access memories) originating in Japan. The rate of the residual duty was 60 %.
(2) DIP Electronics Ltd (hereafter referred to as 'the applicant`) lodged on 13 July 1995 an application for the refund of GBP [. . .] (4) of anti-dumping duties due on importation of DRAMs of Japanese origin.
The applicant claimed that the dumping margins in respect of the DRAMs for which anti-dumping duties were due, were significantly lower than the level of 60 % of the residual duty set by Regulation (EEC) No 2112/90. The application, however, did not contain any evidence that the duties for which a refund was claimed had been paid.
The applicant was informed that, in accordance with Article 11(8) of Regulation 384/96 which contains the provisions concerning refund investigations, the application would have to be considered as inadmissible since it did not contain evidence of payment of the anti-dumping duties for which a refund was claimed.
The applicant indicated in reply that it was not in a financial position to make payment of the anti-dumping duties due. The applicant was given further opportunity to pay the anti-dumping duties but failed to do so.
(3) On 13 August 1997 the applicant informed the Commission that DIP Electronics Ltd intended to put its affairs in the hands of an insolvency practitioner. The Commission was subsequently informed that the applicant had proceeded into a creditors voluntary liquidation on 19 August 1997.
(4) The liquidator, representing the applicant, received disclosure of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to reject the application as inadmissible. The liquidator made no comment.
B. ADMISSIBILITY
(5) It has been established that the anti-dumping duties for which a refund is claimed have not been paid by the applicant. Since the prior payment of the anti-dumping duties is one of the basic requirements for the admissibility of a refund application, the application should be rejected as inadmissible.
The refund application for the amount of GBP [. . .] in total submitted by DIP Electronics Ltd is rejected as inadmissible.
This Decision is addressed to the United Kingdom, and to DIP Electronics Ltd, Sheraton House, Castle Park, Cambridge, CB3 0AX.
Commission Regulation (EC) No 850/2000
of 27 April 2000
amending Regulation (EC) No 1093/97 laying down marketing standards applicable to melons and watermelons

,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1257/1999(2), and in particular Article 2(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Annex I to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1093/97 of 16 June 1997 laying down marketing standards applicable to melons and watermelons(3) sets out rules on the sizing and marking of melons.
(2) In the interest of transparency on the world market, the homogenity criteria laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1093/97 should be tightened up. The standard for melons recommended by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe sets out stricter criteria regarding homogeneity of size for Charentais melons.
(3) Generally the marked for melons is closely dependent on the organoleptic quality of the product. Such organoleptic quality may vary considerably. The sector should be allowed to provide information on the basic criteria regarding ripeness in order to give consumers the freedom to choose fruit of the organoleptic quality that best suits them.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1093/97 is amended as follows:
1. The third and fourth paragraphs of Section III (Provisions concerning sizing) are replaced by the following:
"Where the size is expressed by weight, the largest melon in each package may not weigh over 50 % more than the smallest (30 % more for Charentais melons).
Where the size is expressed by diameter, the diameter of the largest melon may not be over 20 % more than the diameter of the smallest (10 % more for Charentias melons)."
2. The following indent is added to point D of Section VI (Provisions concerning marking):
"- minimum sugar content, measured by refractometer and expressed in degrees Brix (optional)."
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from the first day of the second month following its entry into force.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States, of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States, of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1) and revised in Luxembourg on 25 June 2005 (2), hereinafter referred to as ‘the ACP-EC Partnership Agreement’, and in particular Article 96 thereof,

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1837/80 of 27 June 1980 on the common organization of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 871/84 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (2) and 7 (4) thereof,
Whereas it should be specified that the market prices to be determined should be calculated on the basis of prices recorded ex value-added tax, and that no deductions are authorized in respect of other charges;
Whereas pursuant to Article 4a of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2657/80 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3008/84 (4), market prices for lambs weighing between nine and 14 kilograms may be recorded before evisceration and removal of the head; whereas that provision should extend to lambs weighing up to 16 kilograms;
Whereas the coefficients used for calculating the price of sheep carcases on representative Community markets should be adjusted in the light of the figures available with regard to sheep numbers;
Whereas since no prices are recorded in respect of the Pescara market and those for Palermo have shown almost no variation, and since sheep are no longer bought at Alkmaar market, the said markets should be removed from the list of representative markets in Italy and the Netherlands;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sheep and Goats,
Regulation (EEC) No 2657/80 is hereby amended as follows:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 805/2003
of 8 May 2003
fixing the export refunds on cereal-based compound feedingstuffs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1666/2000(2), and in particular Article 13(3) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 provides that the difference between quotations or prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1 of that Regulation and prices for those products within the Community may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 of 29 June 1995 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 as regards the arrangements for the export and import of compound feedingstuffs based on cereals and amending Regulation (EC) No 1162/95 laying down special detailed rules for the application of the system of import and export licences for cereals and rice(3) in Article 2 lays down general rules for fixing the amount of such refunds.
(3) That calculation must also take account of the cereal products content. In the interest of simplification, the refund should be paid in respect of two categories of "cereal products", namely for maize, the most commonly used cereal in exported compound feeds and maize products, and for "other cereals", these being eligible cereal products excluding maize and maize products. A refund should be granted in respect of the quantity of cereal products present in the compound feedingstuff.
(4) Furthermore, the amount of the refund must also take into account the possibilities and conditions for the sale of those products on the world market, the need to avoid disturbances on the Community market and the economic aspect of the export.
(5) However, in fixing the rate of refund it would seem advisable to base it at this time on the difference in the cost of raw inputs widely used in compound feedingstuffs as the Community and world markets, allowing more accurate account to be taken of the commercial conditions under which such products are exported.
(6) The refund must be fixed once a month; whereas it may be altered in the intervening period.
(7) The Management Committee for Cereals has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
The export refunds on the compound feedingstuffs covered by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 and subject to Regulation (EC) No 1517/95 are hereby fixed as shown in the Annex to this Regulation.
This Regulation shall enter into force on 9 May 2003.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
