COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 1205/2007

of 15 October 2007

imposing anti-dumping duties on imports of integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamps (CFL-i) originating in the People’s Republic of China following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 and extending to imports of the same product consigned from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Republic of the Philippines

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

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) (the basic Regulation) and in particular Articles 9 and 11(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, after consulting the Advisory Committee,

Whereas:

  • A. 
    PROCEDURE
 

(1)

By Regulation (EC) No 1470/2001 (2) (the original Regulation), the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping duties ranging from 0 to 66,1 % on imports of integrated electronic fluorescent lamps (CFL-i) originating in the People’s Republic of China (the country concerned) (the original investigation). Prior to that, the Commission had imposed provisional anti-dumping duties by Regulation (EC) No 255/2001 (3) (the provisional Regulation).

 

(2)

By Regulation (EC) No 866/2005 (4) (the extending Regulation), the Council extended the anti-dumping measures in force to also cover imports of CFL-i consigned from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Republic of the Philippines. The extension followed an anti-circumvention investigation carried out pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation.

 

(3)

By Regulation (EC) No 1322/2006, (the amending Regulation), the Council amended the anti-dumping measures in force. The amendment was made following an interim review carried out with regard to the product scope. The result of the investigation and the effect of the amending Regulation was that direct current voltage lamps (DC-CFL-i) should be excluded from the scope of the measures. The anti-dumping measures would henceforth only cover alternating current voltage lamps (including electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamps functioning on both alternating and direct current) (AC-CFL-i).

 

(4)

Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry, the Commission received a request for a review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged on 18 April 2006 by the Community Federation of Lighting Industry of Compact Fluorescent Lamps Integrated (CFL-i) (the applicant) on behalf of a major proportion, in this case more than 25 %, of the total Community production of CFL-i.

 

(5)

The request was based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in a continuation of dumping and injury to the Community industry. Having determined, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a review, the Commission, on 19 July 2006, initiated an investigation (5) pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation. The applicant also lodged a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. Having determined, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of a review, the Commission, on 8 September 2006, initiated an investigation (6) pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The scope of the interim review is limited to the level of dumping as far as one exporting producer, Lisheng Electronic & Lighting (Xiamen), is concerned. The latter review is on-going and is not the subject of the...
