of 27 February 2006

imposing a definitive countervailing duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film originating in India following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2026/97 of 6 October 1997 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not member of the European Community (1) (hereinafter referred to as the basic Regulation), and in particular Article 18 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

  • A. 
    PROCEDURE
  • 1. 
    EXISTING MEASURES AND TERMINATED INVESTIGATIONS CONCERNING THE SAME PRODUCT
 

(1)

The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999 (2), imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film falling within CN codes ex 3920 62 19 and ex 3920 62 90 and originating in India (hereinafter referred to as the definitive countervailing measures). The measures took the form of an ad valorem duty ranging between 3,8 % and 19,1 % imposed on imports from individually named exporters, with a residual duty rate of 19,1 % imposed on imports from all other companies.

 

(2)

The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1676/2001 (3), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties on imports of PET film originating in India and the Republic of Korea. The measures took the form of an ad valorem duty ranging between 0 % and 62,6 % on imports of PET film originating in India (hereinafter referred to as the definitive anti-dumping measures), with the exception of imports from five Indian companies (Ester Industries Limited (hereinafter referred to as Ester), Flex Industries Limited (hereinafter referred to as Flex), Garware Polyester Limited (hereinafter referred to as Garware), MTZ Polyesters Limited (hereinafter referred to as MTZ), and Polyplex Corporation Limited (hereinafter referred to as Polyplex)) from whom undertakings had been accepted by Commission Decision 2001/645/EC (4).

 

(3)

It is noted that the company formerly known as MTZ Polyesters Limited changed name. Its new name is MTZ Polyfilms Limited. This change of name in no way affected the findings of Regulation (EC) No 2597/1999 and the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate applied to it under its previous name. The Commission announced on 17 February 2005 the change of name of MTZ by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union  (5). It is further noted that MTZ changed its address with effect from July 2005, with no other changes to either the company's ownership, structure or operations. The address of the company should therefore be amended.

 

(4)

The Council, by Regulations (EC) No 1975/2004 (6) and (EC) No 1976/2004 (7), extended the definitive countervailing and anti-dumping measures on imports of PET film originating in India, to imports of the same product consigned from Brazil and Israel, whether declared as originating in Brazil or Israel or not.

 

(5)

On 28 June 2002 (8), the Commission initiated a partial interim review limited to the form of the definitive countervailing measures and, in particular to the examination of the acceptability of an undertaking offered by one Indian exporting producer, pursuant to Article 19 of the basic Regulation. This investigation has been terminated by Council Regulation (EC) No 365/2006 (9).

 

(6)

On 22 November 2003 (10), the Commission initiated a partial interim review limited to the form of the definitive anti-dumping measures. This investigation has been concluded by Council Regulation (EC)...
