COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 2/2012

of 4 January 2012

imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof originating in the People’s Republic of China and Taiwan following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 11(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission (‘Commission’) after consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

  • A. 
    PROCEDURE
  • 1. 
    Measures in force
 

(1)

By Regulation (EC) No 1890/2005 (2) the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty and collected definitively the provisional duties imposed on imports of certain stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof (‘SSF’) originating in the People’s Republic of China, Indonesia, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam. At the same time, the proceeding on imports of SSF originating in Malaysia and the Philippines was terminated.

 

(2)

On 25 August 2009, following a review initiated on the basis of Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 768/2009 (3) amended the abovementioned measures as far as one exporting producer in Vietnam is concerned.

 

(3)

The Regulation which led to the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain SSF originating, inter alia, in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’) and Taiwan, will hereinafter be referred to as ‘the original Regulation’. The investigation that led to the measures imposed by the original Regulation on the countries concerned will be hereinafter referred to as ‘the original investigation’.

  • 2. 
    Request for an expiry review
 

(4)

Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry (4) of the definitive anti-dumping measures in force, the Commission received on 19 August 2010 a request for the initiation of an expiry review of these measures pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by the European Industrial Fasteners Institute (‘EIFI’) (‘the applicant’) on behalf of five Union producers: Bulnava SRL, Inox Viti di Cattinori Bruno & C. SNC, Inox Bolt SRL, Bontempi Vibo SpA. and Ugivis SA representing a major proportion, in this case more than 25 %, of the total Union production of SSF.

 

(5)

The request was limited to the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports originating in the PRC and Taiwan (‘the countries concerned’). Consequently, the anti-dumping measures imposed by the original Regulation on imports of SSF originating in Vietnam, Indonesia and Thailand are not subject to this review.

 

(6)

The request was based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures imposed on imports of SSF originating in the countries concerned would be likely to result in a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury to the Union industry.

  • 3. 
    Initiation of an expiry review
 

(7)

Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission announced on 19 November 2010, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union  (5), the initiation of an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation (‘notice of initiation’).
