      COMMISSION DECISION

   of 23 October 2006
   suspending the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 on imports of ferro molybdenum originating in the People’s Republic of China
   (2006/714/EC)
   THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
   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 Article 14(4) thereof,
   After consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   A.   PROCEDURE

               (1)

               The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 of 28 January 2002 (2), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ferro molybdenum originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC), falling under CN code 7202 70 00 (the product concerned). The rate of the anti-dumping duty is 22,5 %.

               (2)

               Information on a change of market conditions which occurred after the original investigation period (i.e. from 1 October 1999 to 30 September 2000), and which might justify the suspension of the measures currently in force, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, was provided to the Commission. Consequently, the Commission examined whether such suspension was warranted.

         B.   GROUNDS

               (3)

               Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation provides that, in the Community interest, anti-dumping measures may be suspended on the grounds that market conditions have temporarily changed to an extent that injury would be unlikely to resume as a result of such suspension, provided that the Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment and these comments have been taken into account. Article 14(4) further specifies that the anti-dumping measures concerned may be reinstated at any time if the reason for suspension is no longer applicable.

               (4)

               Eurofer, on behalf of a number of users of the product concerned, has alleged that in the time since the investigation period, the market situation has changed. The complainants in the original investigation and other Community producers of the product concerned, represented by Euroalliages, commented on these allegations, and an adversarial exchange of views took place.

               (5)

               Since the definitive imposition of the measures in February 2002, Chinese imports have decreased substantially. Eurostat statistics point to a drop from ca. 12 KT in 2001 to virtually no imports in the period 1 April 2005-31 March 2006. Euroalliages calculated a higher degree of penetration with imports reaching over 1 KT based on the allegation that certain imports declared as having a Dutch origin were in reality Chinese. In any event, even under this assumption, the very significant drop in import penetration is clear.

               (6)

               Regarding imports from other third countries, these have increased from ca. 2,7 KT to 10,7 KT, thus compensating partially the drop in Chinese imports. Consumption has increased by 14 %.

               (7)

               Market prices in the Community have increased from ca. EUR 8/kg in the original IP to ca. EUR 80/kg in 2005 and are in the range of ca. EUR 60/kg in 2006. These trends can also be found in other major markets across the world.

               (8)

               Out of the factors claimed by the parties the main explanation for this price increase seems to be a shortage in roasting capacities, i.e., the capacities to transform molybdenum concentrate into molybdenum oxide (which is then converted into ferro molybdenum). This driving factor explains to a large extent the price increases and the demand-supply imbalance that this has generated in the Community market. On the basis of the information presented, it appears that the roasting capacity shortfall will disappear in all likelihood in the course of 2007 as a result of new roasting capacity coming on stream.

               (9)

               With regard to the Community industry, it is to be noted that since the imposition of the measures, the situation of the Community industry has improved. The sales and production volumes have increased by 25 % and 5 % respectively, reaching a market share of ca. 26 %. The profit situation also improved. Although the Community industry has not consistently achieved the normal 5 % profit level established by the original investigation, the Community industry has, however, gained up to 5 percentage points and become profitable.

               (10)

               Chinese export prices to third countries have followed the same upward trend described above indicating that should measures be suspended it is unlikely that they would decrease in the very short term to such an extent that injury would resume.

               (11)

               No indications have been found as to why the suspension would not be in the Community interest.

         C.   CONCLUSION

               (12)

               In conclusion, given the temporary change in market conditions, and in particular the high level of prices of the product concerned practised on the Community market, which is far above the injurious level found in the original investigation, together with the alleged demand-supply imbalance of the product concerned, it is considered that the injury linked to the imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC is unlikely to resume as a result of the suspension. It is therefore proposed to suspend for nine months the measures in force in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation.

               (13)

               Pursuant to Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has informed the Community industry of its intention to suspend the anti-dumping measures in force. The Community industry has been given an opportunity to comment. The Community industry did not oppose the suspension of the anti-dumping measures in force.

               (14)

               The Commission therefore considers that all requirements for suspending the anti-dumping duty imposed on the product concerned are met, in accordance with Article 14(4) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 should be suspended for a period of nine months.

               (15)

               The Commission will monitor the development of imports and the prices of the product concerned. Should a situation arise at any time in which increased volumes at dumped prices of the product concerned from the PRC resume and consequently cause injury to the Community industry, the Commission will reinstate the anti-dumping duty by repealing the present suspension,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   The definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 215/2002 on imports of ferro molybdenum, falling within CN code 7202 70 00, and originating in the People's Republic of China is hereby suspended for a period of nine months.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the date following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

                  Responsible for producing and broadcasting the forced confessions of detainees, including journalists, political activists, persons belonging to Kurdish and Arab minorities, violating internationally recognised rights to a fair trial and due process.

NGOs have reported further instances of forced televised confessions by Press TV. Emadi is therefore associated with violating the right to due process and fair trial.

         COMMISSION DECISION
   of 19 July 2010
   on Common Safety Targets as referred to in Article 7 of Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
   (notified under document C(2010) 4889)
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   (2010/409/EU)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on safety on the Community’s railways and amending Council Directive 95/18/EC on the licensing of railway undertakings and Directive 2001/14/EC on the allocation of railway infrastructure capacity and the levying of charges for the use of railway infrastructure and safety certification (Railway Safety Directive) (1), and in particular Article 7 thereof,
   Having regard to the recommendation of the European Railway Agency on the first set of Common Safety Targets, delivered to the Commission on 18 September 2009,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               According to Directive 2004/49/EC, Common Safety Targets (CSTs) should be gradually introduced to ensure that a high level of safety is maintained and, when and where necessary and reasonably practicable, improved. They should provide tools for assessment of the safety level and the performance of the operators at EU level as well as in Member States.

               (2)

               Article 3(e) of Directive 2004/49/EC defines CSTs as the safety levels that must at least be reached by different parts of the railway system (such as the conventional railway system, the high speed railway system, long railway tunnels or lines solely used for freight transport) and by the system as a whole, expressed in risk acceptance criteria. However, Recital 7 of Commission Decision 2009/460/EC of 5 June 2009 on the adoption of a common safety method for assessment of achievement of safety targets, as referred to in Article 6 of Directive 2004/49/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) states that, due to the lack of harmonised and reliable data on safety performance of parts of rail systems which are in operation in the different Member States, the development of the first set of CSTs for parts of the rail system (such as the conventional rail system, the high speed rail system, long railway tunnels or lines solely used for freight transport) is not feasible.

               (3)

               Article 7(3) of Directive 2004/49/EC requires that the first set of CSTs should be based on an examination of existing targets and safety performance of railway systems in the Member States. According to the methodology established by Decision 2009/460/EC, the first set of CSTs is to be based on National Reference Values (NRVs). It has been calculated using series of data based on Regulation (EC) No 91/2003 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2002 on rail transport statistics (3) and provided by Eurostat on 6 March 2009 for the period 2004-2007. For each railway risk category the maximum tolerable level of risk for a Member State should be (1) the NRV if the NRV is equal to, or lower than, the corresponding CST or (2) the CST if the NRV is higher than the corresponding CST, in accordance with section 3 of the annex to Decision 2009/460/EC.

               (4)

               The first set of CSTs should be considered as a first step of a process. With this first set, a harmonised and transparent framework is put in place for an efficient monitoring and safeguarding the European safety performance of railways.

               (5)

               The measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee referred to in Article 27(1) of the Directive 2004/49/EC,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   Subject matter and definitions
   This Decision establishes the values of the first set of Common Safety Targets based on National Reference Values, in compliance with Article 7(3) of Directive 2004/49/EC and following the methodology laid down by the Decision 2009/460/EC.
   For the purposes of this Decision, definitions of the Directive 2004/49/EC, Regulation (EC) No 91/2003 and Decision 2009/460/EC shall apply.
   Article 2
   National Reference Values
   The National Reference Values for the different Member States and for the different risk categories are laid down in chapter 1, sections from 1.1 to 1.6 of the Annex.
   Article 3
   Common Safety Targets
   The first set of Common Safety Targets for the different risk categories are laid down in chapter 2 of the Annex.
   Article 4
   Addressees
   This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
