         COMMISSION DECISION
   of 7 May 2012
   terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel, excluding seamless pipes and tubes of stainless steel, originating in Belarus
   (2012/247/EU)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   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 9 thereof,
   After consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   A.   PROCEDURE

               (1)

               On 16 May 2011 the European Commission (‘the Commission’) received a complaint concerning the alleged injurious dumping of imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel, excluding seamless pipes and tubes of stainless steel, originating in Belarus (‘the country concerned’).

               (2)

               The complaint was lodged by the Defence Committee of the Seamless Steel Tubes Industry of the European Union (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 50 %, of the total Union production of certain seamless pipes and tubes.

               (3)

               The complaint contained prima facie evidence of the existence of dumping and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding.

               (4)

               The Commission, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, in a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (2), initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in Belarus.

               (5)

               The Commission sent questionnaires to the Union industry, to the exporting producer in Belarus, to the importers, and to the authorities of Belarus. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.

               (6)

               All interested parties who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.

         B.   WITHDRAWAL OF THE COMPLAINT AND TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING

               (7)

               By letter of 26 January 2012 to the Commission, the complainant formally withdrew its complaint.

               (8)

               In accordance with Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation, the proceeding may be terminated where the complaint is withdrawn, unless such termination would not be in the Union interest.

               (9)

               The Commission considered that the present proceeding should be terminated since the investigation had not brought to light any considerations showing that such termination would not be in the Union interest. Interested parties were informed accordingly and were given the opportunity to comment. No comments were received indicating that such termination would not be in the Union interest.

               (10)

               The Commission therefore concludes that the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in Belarus should be terminated,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes or iron or steel, excluding seamless pipes and steel of stainless steel, of circular cross-section, of an external diameter not exceeding 406,4 mm with a Carbon Equivalent Value (CEV) not excėeding 0,86 according to the International Institute of Welding (IIW) formula and chemical analysis (3) originating in Belarus, currently falling within CN codes ex 7304 19 10, ex 7304 19 30, ex 7304 23 00, ex 7304 29 10, ex 7304 29 30, ex 7304 31 80, ex 7304 39 58, ex 7304 39 92, ex 7304 39 93, ex 7304 51 89, ex 7304 59 92 and ex 7304 59 93, is hereby terminated.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      (2014/740/EU)

   THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 209(2) in conjunction with Article 218(9) thereof,
   Having regard to the Partnership Agreement between the members of the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States of the one part, and the European Community and its Member States of the other part, signed in Cotonou on 23 June 2000 (1) (‘the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement’),
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               At the 4th High Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness in Busan, the Parties to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement called for a more direct private sector engagement in order to advance innovation, create income and jobs, promote SMEs and entrepreneurship, mobilise domestic resources and further develop innovative financial mechanisms.

               (2)

               Taking into account the above and the evolution of the international context, in particular the considerable number of actors and modalities capable of providing effective private sector support, related programmes are to be implemented through organisations that have shown their capacity to provide high quality expertise in a cost-effective way.

               (3)

               At its 39th session held on 19 and 20 June 2014 in Nairobi, the ACP-EU Council of Ministers agreed, in a Joint Declaration, to proceed with the orderly closing of the Centre for the Development of Enterprise (‘CDE’) and the amendment of Annex III to the ACP-EU Partnership Agreement and, for this purpose, decided to grant a delegation of powers to the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors to take the matter forward with a view to adopting the necessary decisions.

               (4)

               The position of the Union within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors regarding the mandate to be given to the Executive Board of the CDE should therefore be based on the attached draft Decision,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   1.   The position to be adopted by the European Union within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors regarding the mandate to be given to the Executive Board of the CDE shall be established under the terms of the draft Decision of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors attached to this Decision.
   2.   Minor changes to the draft Decision may be agreed by the representatives of the Union within the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors without requiring a Decision of the Council.
   Article 2
   After its adoption, the Decision of the ACP-EU Committee of Ambassadors shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Decision shall enter into force on the date of its adoption.
