COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 33/2010
of 12 January 2010
amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION
,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (1), and in particular Article 9(1)(a) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) For the classification of footwear with uppers consisting of two or more materials, in application of Note 4 (a) together with Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the second sentence of Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 should be clarified by stating how to verify whether given materials have the characteristics of an upper.
(2) In its judgment in case C-165/07, Skatteministeriet v Ecco Sko A/S (2), the Court of Justice of the European Union has introduced a ‘walking test’ for the purpose of that verification. The test requires verification whether the materials of the upper provide sufficient support for the foot to enable the wearer to walk in the footwear.
(3) It is therefore appropriate to specify in Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 that for materials to have the characteristics of an upper, they must support the foot sufficiently to enable the wearer to walk in the footwear.
(4) In its judgment the Court does not specify whether the ‘walking test’ is to be carried out with or without the fastening straps. The Court leaves it to the national referring court to make the necessary findings. The fact that it depends on the way in which the leather is removed, whether the fastening straps stay in place or not, may lead to divergent interpretations of the judgment.
(5) In order to obtain uniform interpretation as far as the fastening systems are concerned, it is necessary to specify in Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 that fastening systems have to stay in place during the test. Otherwise, in the case of footwear that requires a fastening system, for example laces, to function, the walking test would fail with any material, because the wearer could never walk with it lacking its fastening system.
(6) Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 should therefore be amended accordingly.
(7) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,
In Additional note 1 to Chapter 64 of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87, the second sentence of the first paragraph is replaced by the following:
‘After the removal of reinforcements, the visible material must have the characteristics of an upper and not lining, supporting the foot sufficiently to enable the wearer, with the original fastening systems in place, to walk in the footwear.’
This Regulation shall enter into force on the 20th day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

COMMISSION  DECISION
of 12 December 1984
accepting an undertaking and repealing the provisional duty in connection with the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of certain shovels originating in Brazil and terminating the investigation
(84/632/EEC)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,
Whereas:
A. Provisional action
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 2464/84 (2), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain shovels originating in Brazil.
B. Subsequent procedure
(2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty, the exporter and the importer of the product concerned requested an opportunity to be heard by the Commission, which was granted. At this hearing the exporter and importer were given additional explanations concerning the basis on which the provisional duty had been imposed.
C. Dumping
(3) No new evidence on dumping has been received since the imposition of the provisional duty; therefore the Commission considers its findings on dumping as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 2464/84 to be definitive.
D. Injury
(4) No fresh evidence regarding injury to the Community industry has been submitted.
The Commission therefore confirms the conclusions on injury, reached in Regulation (EEC) No 2464/84.
E. Community interest
(5) In view of the serious difficulties facing the Community industry, the Commission has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community's interests that action be taken.
F. Undertaking
(6) An undertaking was offered by the exporter concerning its exports of shovels to the Community. The effect of the said undertaking will be to increase export prices to a level which eliminates the dumping.
(7) In these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the investigation may, therefore, be terminated without the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty. Since, after the imposition of the provisional duty, no imports of shovels from Brazil below the undertaking prices have been made it is not necessary to definitively collect the provisional duty,
The undertaking given by Metalurgica Timboense S/A, Timbo-Santa Catarina, Brazil, in connection with the anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of shovels made of iron or steel originating in Brazil and falling within heading No ex 82.01 of the Common Customs Tariff, corresponding to NIMEXE code ex 82.01-10, is hereby accepted.
The provisional duty imposed by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2464/84 is hereby repealed and the anti-dumping investigation referred to in Article 1 is terminated.

(5) In order to allow the import duty system to function normally, the representative market rates recorded during a reference period should be used for calculating the duties.
