COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 279/2008
of 27 March 2008
fixing the export refunds on syrups and certain other sugar products exported without further processing

Whereas:
(1) Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Article 1(1)(c), (d) and (g) of that Regulation and prices for those products on the Community market may be covered by an export refund.
(2) Given the present situation on the sugar market, export refunds should therefore be fixed in accordance with the rules and certain criteria provided for in Articles 32 and 33 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006.
(3) The first subparagraph of Article 33(2) of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 provides that the world market situation or the specific requirements of certain markets may make it necessary to vary the refund according to destination.
(4) Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Community and that comply with the requirements of Commission Regulation (EC) No 951/2006 of 30 June 2006 laying down detailed rules for the implementation of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 as regards trade with third countries in the sugar sector (2).
(5) Export refunds may be set to cover the competitive gap between Community and third country's exports. Community exports to certain close destinations and to third countries granting Community products a preferential import treatment are currently in a particular favourable competitive position. Therefore, refunds for exports to those destinations should be abolished.
(6) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Sugar,
1.   Export refunds as provided for in Article 32 of Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.

COMMISSION DECISION of 6 September 1993 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of bicycles originating in Taiwan
(93/485/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 9 thereof,
After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,
Whereas:
PROCEDURE  (1) In July 1991 the Commission received a complaint lodged by the European Bicycle Manufacturers Association (EBMA) on behalf of Community producers representing a major proportion of the Community production of bicycles. The complaint  contained evidence of dumping with regard to imports from Taiwan and the People's Republic of China and injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
(2) The Commission accordingly announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2) the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of bicycles originating in Taiwan and the People's Republic of China.
(3) Subsequently the Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 550/93 (3) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on the imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China. The dumping margin for Taiwan was considered negligeable and  consequently no anti-dumping duty was imposed on the imports of bicycles originating in that country.
(4) The parties concerned were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and apply to be heard orally by the Commission.
(5) None of the parties concerned provided evidence which would lead the Commission to change its findings.
(6) In the light of the Commission findings of negligeable dumping with regard to imports of bicycles originating in Taiwan, this proceeding should be terminated in accordance with Article 9 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88. No objections have been  raised within the Advisory Committee against this course of action.
This anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles), not motorized falling within CN code 8712 00, originating in Taiwan, is hereby terminated.
