93/376/EEC: Commission Decision of 16 June 1993 terminating the review of anti-dumping measures adopted under Council Regulation (EEC) 1698/85 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan

Official Journal L 157 , 29/06/1993 P. 0076 - 0080

COMMISSION DECISION of 16 June 1993 terminating the review of anti-dumping measures adopted under Council Regulation (EEC) 1698/85 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of electronic typewriters originating in Japan(93/376/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Articles 15 and 9 thereof,  After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for by the above Regulation,  Whereas:  A. PROCEDURE  (1) In 1985 a definitive anti-dumping duty was imposed on imports of certain electronic typewriters (ETWs) originating in Japan and falling into CN-codes ex 8469 10 00, ex 8469 21 00, ex 8469 29 00 and ex 8470 90 00 by Council Regulation  (EEC) No 1698/85 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 486/88 (3). By Regulation (EEC) No 1022/88 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2329/88 (5), the Council, in order to prevent circumvention of those measures, extended the above  anti-dumping duty to cover certain ETWs assembled in the Community by some of the Japanese producers concerned. Subsequently, by Decisions 88/300/EEC (6), 88/387/EEC (7) and 88/424/EEC (8), the Commission accepted undertakings from Kyushu Matsushita  (UK) Ltd., Canon Bretagne SA und Shapr Manufacturing (UK) Ltd. in that regard.  (2) In December 1990, the Commission, in accordance with Article 15 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 (hereafter referred to as the 'basic Regulation'), announced the initiation of an anti-dumping review concerning imports into the Community of certain  ETWs originating in Japan by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (9) after a request for review had been received from the Committee of European Electronic Typewriter Manufacturers ('CETMA') on behalf of:  - Ing. C. Olivetti &  C. SpA, Ivrea, Italy,  - Rank Xerox Limited, Marlow, United Kingdom, and - Triumph-Adler Aktiengesellschaft, Nuremberg, Germany,  allegedly representing a major proportion of the total ETW-Community production.  An additional notice concerning exports by Nakajima All Co. Ltd. ('Nakajima') was published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (10).  (3) The Commission officially advised the producers in the exporting country and importers known to be concerned, the representatives of the exporting country, and the complainant. Parties directly concerned were given the opportunity to make their  views known in writing and to request a hearing.  (4) Representatives of several Japanese producers, complainant companies and importers made their views known in writing, and requested and were granted a hearing.  (5) The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purposes of the investigation and carried out an investigation at the premises of the following producer in Japan:  - Nakajima All Co., Ltd, Tokyo, Japan.  (6) The Commission examined the economic situation of the Community industry in the period from 1 January 1987 to 31 December 1990.  (7) The investigation overran the normal duration of one year provided for in Article 7 (9) (a) the basic Regulation due to the complexity of the investigation, in particular the assessment of the status of the Japanese and Community industry. Moreover,  new developments occurring after the period investigated and affecting the Community industry, added to this delay (see recital (27)).  B. THE PRODUCT UNDER INVESTIGATION; LIKE PRODUCT  (8) The product covered by the present anti-dumping proceeding are ETWs, whether or not incorporating calculating mechanisms, defined by Article 1 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85 as:  'a machine which is steered by microprocessor(s) and which initiates, implements and/or controls its relevant functions by means of software programs. Its main application is printed of text derived from a keyboard, even if an electronic typewriter can  be used for additional functions (e.g. computing, communication and storage).' (9) The above definition covers a variety of models and versions which, however, are considered to be one product. Indeed, all these models have identical physical characteristics and uses; no clear dividing lines exist between the different models. No  comments on that subject were made by interested parties.  (10) The complainants argued that certain newly developed word processors ('WP') should also be covered by this product definition, since they are covered by the above definition.  The Commission examined the complainants' arguments as well as those put forward by other parties concerned, but concluded that WPs have different physical characteristics and end uses from those of ETWs. Therefore, in accordance with Article 2 (12) of  the basic Regulation, WPs are not covered by the proceeding.  C. COMMUNITY INDUSTRY  (11) Apart from the complainants, AEG Olympia, Wilhelmshaven, Germany, ('Olympia') produces ETWs in the Community and has acted as an independent importer of ETWs originating in Japan. Furthermore, one Japanese producer, Brother  Industries Ltd., Nagoya, Japan, ('Brother Japan') argued that its subisidiary which is located in the EC ('Brother UK') and which, Brother Japan claimed, was a producer of ETWs, should be considered part of the Community industry.  (12) It is the consistent practice of the Community to decide on a case-by-case basis whether certain producers in the Community may be excluded from the term 'Community industry' according to the first indent of Article 4 (5) of the basic Regulation.  The assessment whether such exclusion is reasonable and equitable takes into consideration all the legal and economic aspects involved. The Community has on several occasions, concluded that an exclusion is justified where the producers in the Community  either participated in the dumping practices, were shielded from their effects, or benefit unduly from them.  (13) In the present review investigation, the Commission notes that Olympia is not related in any way to producers in Japan and that its ETW production in the Community remained substantial in comparison with the quantities of Japanese ETWs which  Olympia imported. The company's purchases of ETWs of Japanese origin completed the lower end of its ETW product range sold. Finally, the Commission notes that Olympia imported ETWs solely from a Japanese producer not covered by any anti-dumping duty.  Consequently, it can be concluded that Olympia has shown its status as a Community producer by carrying out a substantial part of its production in the Community. Furthermore, the Commission considers that the importing producer, Olympia, has not  participated in any dumping practice, since independent importers are not involved in dumping practices in general, and that Olympia, would not stand to gain from a lapse of the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85, because it  imported ETWs solely from a Japanese producer not covered by any anti-dumping duty.  Therefore, and following consistent practice, the Commission considers that Olympia should not be excluded from the definition of the Community industry on the basis of Article 4 (5) of the basic Regulation.  (14) On the other hand, Brother UK is subsidiary of Brother Japan, which was found in the initial investigation to have practised dumping. Furthermore, the Commission considers that Brother Japan still remains a potential producer and exporter of ETWs,  with its head-office and R&  D facilities remaining in Japan, and may be expected to resume exports and would thus benefit from the lapse of the anti-dumping measures imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1698/85. Moreover, Brother UK would potentially be  shielded from renewed dumped imports originating in Japan. Therefore, the Commission concludes that Brother UK should be excluded from the definition of 'Community industry' under Article 4 (5) of the basic Regulation.  (15) On the basis of the above considerations, the Community producers which have requested the review represent more than 65 % of the output of the product concerned of 'Community industry' as defined by Article 4 (5) of the basic Regulation.  Accordingly, the Commission considers that these producers constitute a major proportion of the Community industry.  D. INJURY   1. Community market  (16) Total Community consumption of ETWs has increased from 2 million units in 1987 to around 2,3 million units in 1990.  2. Situation of the Community industry  (17) With respect to the situation of the Community industry, the Commission established the following development:  - total unit production decreased from around 613 000 in 1987 to 600 000 in 1989 and 570 000 in 1990 (indexed from 100 in 1987 to 98 in 1989 and 93 in 1990),  - sales measures in units decreased from a level of around 470 000 units in 1987 to 420 000 in 1989 and to around 400 000 in 1990 (indexed from 100 in 1987 to 89 in 1989 and 85 in 1990),  - market share decreased from around 25 % in 1987 to 20 % in 1989 and to 17 % in 1990,  - production capacity was substantially reduced as part of a restructuring programme, especially after the initial anti-dumping investigation, and fall continuously by around 10 % in the period 1987 to 1990,  - capacity utilization remained constant in the period from 1987 to 1990,  - employment has decreased from around 7 000 people in 1987 to 4 800 in 1989 and 4 500 in 1990 (in index from 100 in 1987 to around 68 in 1989 and 65 in 1990).  - the financial situation of the Community industry developed positively for the industry as a whole, despite certain negative trends for individual companies and individual ETW models, with an average rate of return on turnover of around 8 %.  3. Conclusion  (18) On balance, therefore, the Commission considers that despite a positive factor in the situation of the Community industry, in the form of the financial profits obtained on its Communit sales, there remain substantial negative factors  in the situation of the Community industry. The situation or while leads the Commission to conclude that the Community industry continues to show clear signs of economic weakness.  E. CAUSALITY   1. General  (19) The Commission assessed whether the abovementioned economic weakness of the Community industry has been caused by imports from Japan or by other factors.  2. Japanese imports into the Community and relocation of production  (20) Sales in the Community of ETWs originating in Japan, having decreased from a level of around 100 000 units in 1987 to around 95 000 units in 1988, increased again to 160 000 units  in 1990. However, the ETWs imported in 1990 were almost all produced by one company which was not subject to anti-dumping duties imposed in the framework of this proceeding. In index form this development represents a decrease from 100 in 1987 to 95 in  1988 and an increase to 160 in 1990.  (21) Furthermore, the Commission took account of Eurostat import statistics in order to assess the level of Japanese ETW imports. This was considered necesssary because not all Japanese producers named in the request for review responded to the  Commission's questionnaire concerning import volumes. The Eurostat figures show an increase of imports from a level of around 215 000 units in 1988 to around 310 000 units in 1990. The absolute level of those import figures is higher than the data  provided by the Japanese producers mentioned in recital (20), although the increase from 1988 to 1990 is lower in percentage terms. Although this discrepancy could be due to non cooperation by some of the Japanese producers concerned, the Commission  concludes that it is highly likely that the discrepancy is due to the level of aggregation in the Eurostat figures, which do not is slate ETWs, as defined and covered by this proceeding, but include other electric, electronic and automatic typewriters  ('TWs'). This conclusion is, moreover, supported by market research data which indicate substantial sales on the Community market of certain types of ETWs which were specifically excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping measures by (for example)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 154/88 (11), but which are included in the Eurostat import statistics.  (22) In respect of imports of ETWs originating in Japan, the Commission concluded in its investigation that the reduction in production, sales, market share, capacity and employment shown above may not be regarded as the result of the imports subject to  the anti-dumping proceeding.  (23) On the other hand, strategic decisions have been taken by the Community industry to relocate its production capacity in countries outside the Community. The general trend of relocation of production started on a large scale after the imposition of  the anti-dumping measures and has culminated with the strategic decisions mentioned in recital (27). Indeed, the negative trend in the situation of the Community industry with respect to the production and sale of Community-produced ETWs corresponds to  increases in is production outside the Community and to its increased sales inside the Community of ETWs which are produced elsewhere.  3. Conclusion  (24) Therefore, the Commission concludes that any aspects of the situation of the Community industry which could be interpreted as negative are attributable to its own restructuring and not to imports of ETWs originating in Japan.  F. POSSIBLE EFFECTS OF THE EXPIRY OF THE EXISTING ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES REGARDING TREND AND IMPACT OF IMPORTS ORIGINATING IN JAPAN   1. General  (25) The present investigation being a review pursuant to Article 15 of the basic Regulation, the Commission had to assess in its investigation whether the expiry of the anti-dumping measures presently in force would lead again to injury or  threat of injury. Such a recurrence of injury could be possible if there were a considerable production or production potential of ETW in Japan that could be directed to the Community in the near future.  2. Production potential in Japan  (26) As far as production and production potential of ETWs in Japan is concerned, the Commission assessed Japanese export statistics of finished ETWs and their parts to the EC and to third countries which do indicate an  overall decrease in the years to 1990. Japanese export statistics were considered a reliable estimate of overall ETW production and production potential in Japan, since sales of ETW in Japan are negligible. No indication was given that in the meantime  this downward trend had been reversed. Taking those findings into consideration, together with the relatively low level of imports into the Community of finished ETWs originating in Japan the great majority of which were exported by a Japanese producer  whose ETW imports were not subject to the anti-umping duties, the Commission considers that the likelihood of the Community industry being injured or being threatened with injury by dumped imports originating in Japan, should the anti-dumping measures  presently in force lapse, is relatively small. Consequently, any recurrence of injury or threat of injury is considered to be neither foreseeable nor imminent.  3. Developments after the period investigated  (27) After the period investigated, namely 1987 to 1990, two companies which are part of the Community industry informed the Commission of recent strategic decisions. One company, while maintaining part of  its ETW production in the Community, had decided to relocate a part of its ETW production in a third country and the other company stopped production of ETWs in the Community altogether.  4. Conclusion  (28) The Commission concludes, on the basis of the findings concerning the absence of a causal link between the weak situation of the Community industry during the period from 1987 to 1990 and imports of ETWs originating in Japan,  together with the findings relating to the likely effect of the expiry of the anti-dumping measures on the Community industry in the event of a repeal of the anti-dumping measures and the strategic decisions by the Community industry after 1990, that  there is not sufficient evidence to suggest a recurrence of injury to the Community industry due to dumped imports from Japan.  G. DUMPING  (29) In view of those conclusions, the Commission does not consider it necessary to investigate further any dumping issues.  H. TERMINATION OF THE INVESTIGATION  (30) Accordingly, the Commission considers that the anti-dumping review concerning imports of ETWs originating in Japan should be terminated in accordance with Article 9 (1) of the basic Regulation. Consequently, the  anti-dumping measures presently in force lapse in accordance with Article 15 (1) of the basic Regulation.  (31) In reaching this conclusion, the Commission has taken into account the fact that, if the Community industry were to suffer material injury as a result of dumped imports made by Japanese producers in the Community market in the future, the Community  industry could resort to the Commission to request that a new proceeding be opened.  (32) Since the anti-dumping measures imposed with respect to certain ETWs assembled with in the Community (see recital (1)) are ancillary in nature to the anti-dumping measures with respect to imports of finished ETWs originating in Japan which will now  lapse, those ancillary measures also expire.  (33) No objections to these conclusions were raised in the Advisory Committee.  (34) The complainants and the other interested parties concerned were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the investigation, and did not dispute the arguments put forward above,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Article 1  The anti-dumping review concerning imports of certain electronic typewriters originating in Japan is hereby terminated, with the result that the anti-dumping measures in force concerning those imports, and also electronic typewriters  assembled in the Community, shall lapse.  Article 2  This Decision shall take effect on 30 June 1993.  Done at Brussels, 16 June 1993.  For the Commission Leon BRITTAN Member of the Commission (1) OJ No L 209, 2. 8. 1988, p. 1.

82/423/EEC: Council Decision of 21 June 1982 terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain refrigerators originating in Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslaviaf

Official Journal L 184 , 29/06/1982 P. 0023 - 0025

*****COUNCIL  DECISION  of 21 June 1982  terminating the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain refrigerators originating in Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia  (82/423/EEC)  THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3017/79 of 20 December 1979 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), and in particular Article 10 thereof,  Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consultations within the Advisory Committee set up under that Regulation,  Whereas in March 1981 the Commission received a complaint lodged by Conseil Européen de la Construction Electrodomestique (CECED) on behalf of the great majority of Community manufacturers of certain refrigerators; whereas the complaint contained evidence of the existence of dumping in respect of like products originating in Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and of material injury resulting therefrom;  Whereas the said evidence was sufficient to justify initiating an investigation;  Whereas the Commission accordingly announced, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (2), the initiation of a proceeding concerning imports of certain refrigerators originating in Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia and commenced an investigation of the matter at Community level;  Whereas the Commission officially so advised the exporters and importers known to be concerned;  Whereas the Commission has given the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to be heard orally;  Whereas the majority of the parties concerned have availed themselves of this opportunity;  Whereas, in order to make an assessment of the dumping margin and injury, the Commission sought and verified all information it deemed to be necessary and carried out investigations at the premises of the only Yugoslav producer and exporter cooperating in the enquiry, Gorenje (Valenje) and the following importers: in Belgium: Asogem NV and Artsel NV; in Denmark: Gorenje Skandinavien ApS; in the Federal Republic of Germany: IVG Bulka-Lehel GmbH; in France: Garelly SA, Générale Sidex SA and Sideme SA; in Greece: Gorenje Hellas Co. Ltd; in Ireland: Electro-Diesel Ireland Ltd; and in the United Kingdom: Astral Domestic Equipment Ltd, Curry's Ltd, Technical & Optical Equipment (London) Ltd and USC (Consumer Products) Ltd; whereas the Commission also carried out investigations at the premises of almost all the complainant EEC producers, including:  in the Federal Republic of Germany: Bauknecht GmbH; in France: Thomson-Brandt SA; in Greece: Elinda SA; in Italy: Iberna Spa, Kelly Italia Spa, Merloni Elettrodomestici Spa, Pargest Spa, Philips Spa, Siltal Casa Spa and Industrie Zanussi Spa; and in the United Kingdom: Electrolux Ltd, LEC Refrigeration Ltd and Thorn Domestic Appliances (Electrical) Ltd;  Whereas the Commission selected as the investigation period the year ended 30 June 1981;  Whereas, in order to establish whether the Yugoslav imports were dumped, the Commission used Yugoslav domestic prices to establish the normal value;  Whereas the Commission had to take into account the fact that Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union are not market economy countries;  Whereas, for that reason, the Commission had to base its calculations in respect of these countries on the normal value in a market economy country; whereas, in that connection, the complaint had cited the Yugoslav domestic market;  Whereas, in the course of the discussions with the exporters from Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania and the Soviet Union, the comparability of the Yugoslav market for refrigerators was contested because prices were said to be unrepresentative; whereas Turkey, Spain and Brazil were suggested as alternatives but were not considered reasonable because of differences in market situations; whereas in the light of the inspection carried out at the premises of the Yugoslav producer it would appear reasonable to use the Yugoslav domestic price as a comparable normal value since the manufacturing processes, technical standards and technology are similar to those used by the other exporters concerned;  Whereas the assessment of dumping for all seven countries was accordingly made by comparing weighted average Yugoslav domestic prices at an ex-factory level with export prices to the Community at the same level from each country in question during the investigation period;  Whereas, to take due account of the differences affecting price comparability, discounts and sales and service costs borne by the Yugoslav manufacturer were deducted from its domestic prices; whereas, for all the exporting countries concerned, account was also taken of differences in physical characteristics where appropriate, such as volume, freezing capacity and type of defrosting system, the allowance being based on the estimated production costs accounting for such differences; whereas allowances were also made for differences in conditions of payment and for transport and associated costs to the Community frontier; whereas allowances for differences in advertizing and sales promotion costs and research and development costs claimed by the Yugoslav exporter were not allowed since the Commission considered that they were not directly related to the sales of the refrigerators in question; whereas the following claims were also not allowed because no adequate proof justifying them was given: allowances for design differences claimed by exporters from the German Democratic Republic and Poland, allowances for differences in packaging and differences in measurements claimed by exporters from the German Democratic Republic, allowances for differences in the market value of free-standing versus table-top refrigerators claimed by Hungarian exporters; whereas claims for differences in compressors used by Hungarian and Polish exporters were not taken into account either because it was considered that they did not represent a difference in the physical characteristics of the refrigerators concerned such as would be perceivable to the purchaser and influence his choice;  Whereas the comparisons showed the existence of dumping in respect of the imports considered in the investigation, the dumping margins being equal to the amount by which the normal values as established above exceeded the prices at which the goods were exported to the Community; whereas the margins varied, depending on the type and size of refrigerator and the exporting country, from 7;4 % to 74;2 % of the export prices free at Community frontier, duty unpaid;  Whereas, with regard to the injury caused to the Community industry, the evidence available to the Commission shows that imports into the Community of the refrigerators in question originating in the countries covered by the investigation rose from approximately 511 000 units in 1978 to 717 000 units in 1980; whereas imports into those Member States for which statistics are available for the first nine months of 1981 amounted to 498 043 units compared with 475 756 units imported into the same Member States during the whole of 1978;  Whereas in 1978 the market share held by such imports in the Community was 15;8 %, rising to 20;3 % in 1980 and it is estimated to have remained at approximately the same level in 1981; whereas virtually all of these imports during the investigation period have been made at dumped prices;  Whereas the resale prices in the Community of these refrigerators originating in the countries in question undercut those of like products produced by Community manufacturers by approximately 20 % on average; Whereas the consequent impact on the Community industry, whose volume of production has fallen by 10 % from 3 559 000 units in 1978 to 3 236 000 units in 1980 and has remained constant at this level in 1981, is characterized by a reduction in the market share of Community producers and a depression of prices or the prevention of price increases which otherwise would have occurred, making it impossible to cover production costs or achieve a reasonable profit on the refrigerators in question; whereas all Community producers have experienced considerable increases in stocks of refrigerators held during the period under consideration;  Whereas most of the Community producers are consequently making losses or inadequate profits on sales of the refrigerators covered by the proceedings;  Whereas the Commission has considered whether injury has been caused by other factors such as competition between Community producers, changes in consumption patterns, overcapacity in the Community industry or imports from other countries; whereas the market share in the Community of the producers of one of the Member States has increased slightly during the investigation period but it has been established that this increase is insignificant in size and that selling prices have been in excess of those of the dumped imports; whereas consumption in the Community went up between 1978 and 1980 whilst production within the Community and imports from other non-EEC sources both went down during the same period; whereas, therefore, the substantial increase in dumped imports and the extremely low prices at which they have been offered for sale in the Community has led the Commission to determine that the dumped imports, taken in isolation, have caused material injury to the Community industry concerned;  Whereas the Commission, after having examined the Community producers' and importers' prices, costs and profitability and marketing conditions, has determined the import prices necessary to eliminate the injury caused;  Whereas the exporters and importers concerned were informed of the main findings of the preliminary investigation and commented on them; whereas undertakings were consequently offered concerning imports from Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia with a view to preventing a recurrence of injury to Community producers;  Whereas the proposed price increases take account of the differences noted in the course of investigations in the prices charged by the various exporting countries; whereas these increases never exceed the average dumping margins and are generally below this level;  Whereas the Yugoslav exporter concerned requested the continuation of the investigation into injury; whereas, however, the Commission considers that both the dumping and injury investigation have been completed and that the aforementioned undertakings are acceptable; whereas, notwithstanding this fact, during the consultations within the Advisory Committee, one of the Member States objected to the termination of the proceedings by the acceptance of these undertakings,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain refrigerators originating in Czechoslovakia, the German Democratic Republic, Hungary, Poland, Romania, the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia is hereby terminated on the basis of the acceptance of price undertakings offered to the Commission by the exporters concerned.

   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 (1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,
   Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management (2), and in particular point 13 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) aims to provide support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, as a result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis, or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis, and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

               (2)

               The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 (3).

               (3)

               On 30 January 2015 Finland submitted an application EGF/2015/001 FI/Broadcom to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in Broadcom Communications Finland and two of its suppliers or downstream producers in Finland. It was supplemented by additional information provided in accordance with Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. That application complies with the requirements for determining a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.

               (4)

               The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 1 365 000 in respect of the application submitted by Finland.

               (5)

               In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the EGF, this decision should apply from the date of its adoption,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2015, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 1 365 000 in commitment and payment appropriations.
   Article 2
   This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 17 July 2015.

83/502/EEC: Commission Decision of 10 October 1983 accepting the offer of an undertaking of a Czechoslovakian exporter of copper sulphate

Official Journal L 281 , 13/10/1983 P. 0022 - 0023

*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 10 October 1983  accepting the offer of an undertaking of a Czechoslovakian exporter of copper sulphate  (83/502/EEC)  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3017/79 of 20 December 1979 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1580/82 (2), and in particular Article 10 thereof,  After consultation within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,  Whereas:  A. Provisional action  (1) The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 1479/83 (3), imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia and the USSR.  B. Subsequent procedure  (2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty a Czech exporter and certain importers requested, and were granted, an opportunity to be heard by the Commission.  The Czech exporter and certain importers also requested to be informed of certain facts and essential considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend definitive action and these requests were granted.  C. Dumping  (3) The Commission had, for the imposition of the provisional duty, established normal value on the basis of figures obtained in Yugoslavia, which was considered the most appropriate market economy country producing copper sulphate.  The Czech exporter, however, requested that Austria be considered as an appropriate market for establishing normal value. On the basis of the facts available to the Commission, however, the normal value established during the preliminary investigation was more favourable to the exporters than the equivalent Austrian figure and, consequently, the preliminary determinations regarding normal value and dumping are confirmed. The exporters concerned accepted these findings.  D. Injury  (4) No fresh evidence regarding injury to the Community industry has been submitted.  The Commission has therefore confirmed the conclusions on injury reached in Regulation (EEC) No 1479/83.  In the Commission's view, therefore, the facts as finally determined show that the injury being caused by dumped imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia and the USSR, taken in isolation from that caused by other factors, has to be considered as material.  E. Community interest  (5) No new evidence from Community processing industries or other interested parties in the Community has been submitted since the imposition of the provisional duty and the Commission, therefore, considers its findings on Community interest as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1479/83 confirmed.  In these circumstances, the interests of the Community call for protection against the dumped imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia and the USSR.  F. Undertaking  (6) The exporters concerned were informed of the main findings of the subsequent investigation. A price undertaking was subsequently offered by the Czech exporter Chemapol concerning its exports of copper sulphate to the Community.  The effect of the said undertaking will be to increase import prices to the Community to the level which the Commission, having taken into account, on the one hand, the prices necessary to provide an adequate return to Community producers and, on the other hand, the price paid by the first purchasers in the Community of the dumped product, considered necessary to eliminate injury.  In these circumstances, the undertaking offered is considered acceptable and the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty should not apply to exports of copper sulphate by Chemapol to the Community.  No objection to this was raised in the Advisory Committee,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Article 1  The Commission hereby accepts the undertaking offered by Chemapol Foreign Trade Company Limited, Prague, in connection with the anti-dumping proceeding concerning copper sulphate, falling within subheading ex 28.38 A II of the Common Customs Tariff and corresponding to NIMEXE code 28.38-27, originating in Czechoslovakia.  Article 2  The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of copper sulphate originating in Czechoslovakia is hereby terminated.  Done at Brussels, 10 October 1983.

88/227/EEC: Commission Decision of 18 April 1988 terminating the investigation under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 concerning certain electronic scales assembled or produced in the Community with regard to TEC-Keylard Weegschalen Nederland BV

Official Journal L 101 , 20/04/1988 P. 0028 - 0029

*****COMMISSION  DECISION  of 18 April 1988  terminating the investigation under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 concerning certain electronic scales assembled or produced in the Community with regard to TEC-Keylard Weegschalen Nederland BV  (88/227/EEC)  THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,  Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,  Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 of 23 July 1984 on protection against dumped or subsidized imports from countries not members of the European Economic Community (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1761/87 (2), and in particular Article 13 (10) thereof,  After consultations within the Advisory Committee as provided for under the above Regulation,  Whereas:  A. Procedure  (1) In July 1987, the Commission received a complaint lodged by W & T Avery Ltd, Esselte Moreau SA and Bizerba-Werke Wilhelm Kraut GmbH & Co., KG, representing the majority Community production of electronic scales. The complaint contained sufficient evidence to the effect that following the opening of the investigation on electronic scales originating in Japan (3), which led to the adoption of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1058/86 (4) imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of those products, two companies were assembling electronic scales in the Community under the conditions referred to in Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84. After consultation, the Commission accordingly announced, by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Communities (5), the initiation of an investigation, under the said Article 13 (10), concerning electronic scales assembled in the Community by the following companies:  - TEC (UK) Ltd, Preston, United Kingdom  - TEC-Keylard Weegschalen Nederland BV  (2) The Commission so advised the companies concerned, the representatives of Japan and the complainants and gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make known their views in writing and to request a hearing.  (3) The two companies concerned as well as the complainants made their views known in writing. TEC (UK) and the complainants requested and were granted hearings by the Commission.  (4) No submissions were made by purchasers of electronic scales assembled in the Community. The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the assessment of the character of the alleged assembly operations and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies:  - TEC (UK) Ltd, Preston, United Kingdom  - TEC-Keylard Weegschalen Nederland BV  (5) The period of investigation was from 1 January to 31 July 1987  B. Relationship or association with exporter  (6) It was found that TEC (UK) was a subsidiary of TEC (Japan) and that TEC-Keylard had substantial capital links and close economic and commercial relations with TEC (Japan).  C. Production  (7) The two companies started their assembly operations after the initiation of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning the imports of electronic scales originating in Japan on 3 September 1983.  D. Parts  (8) The value of parts in question was determined on the basis of the companies purchase prices of these parts when delivered to the factories in the Community, that is on an into-factory, duty-paid basis.  TEC (UK)  (9) Only one model was produced during the investigation period. It was found that the value of Japanese parts used by TED (UK) was 92,38 % of the total parts' value. Consequently and after taking into consideration the circumstances of the case,  the extension of the anti-dumping duty imposed by Regulation (EEC) No 1058/86 to certain electronic scales assembled in the Community by this company, was proposed by the Commission to the Council.  TEC-Keylard  (10) TEC-Keylard claimed that some parts purchased in the Community from a subsidiary of a Japanese manufacturer were, in fact, of non-Japanese origin. It was claimed that the abovementioned manufacturer had transferred its production from Japan to another Asian country and that no such products were produced in Japan during the investigation period. It was found that some of these parts effectively used by TEC-Keylard during the investigation period were of non-Japanese origin. Nevertheless, for the purpose of the calculation of the value of Japanese parts, the whole stock of such parts detained by TEC-Keylard at the end of the investigation period was considered to have been used in the assembly during the investigation period because it cannot be accepted that a part of another origin is effectively used in the assembly operation unless the stocks of parts of the first origin are exhausted.  (11) TEC-Keylard requested that the 'transformation costs' of some subassemblies incurred in its own factory should be included in the value of EEC parts. This request, however, cannot be granted because the 'transformation costs' are part of the total costs of assembly or production, they cannot be included in the value of parts or materials used in the assembly or production operation, but constitute a value added to these parts or materials in the assembly or production process.  (12) TEC-Keylard claimed that the value of software included in an electronic component used in a subassembly should be considered to form part of the total value of the subassembly. This request was granted because the value which is to be taken into consideration for the purpose of the investigation under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 is the total value of parts of materials as they are used for the assembly of the product investigated.  (13) TEC-Keylard claimed that some subassembled items used for some models were of Community origin. It was found that these items were assembled in the Community, from parts imported from Japan and from parts purchased in the Community, by an independent Community producer. On the basis of information received from two sources, one being the complainants carrying out virtually identical assembly operations themselves and the other being the company referred to above, it was concluded that these subassemblies did constitute a substantial transformation as required by Article 5 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 802/68 (1). The assembly operation and the manufacture of the components carried out in the Community was of a substantial nature. The item was thus of Community origin.  (14) According the weighted average value of Japanese parts for all models produced by TEC-Keylard was found to be less than 60 % of the total parts value.  E. Termination of the investigaion  (15) In the circumstances, therefore, the investigation should be terminated without the extension of the anti-dumping duty, imposed on some electronic sales originating in Japan by Regulation (EEC) 1058/86 to electronic scales assembled in the Community with regard to TEC-Keylard.  (16) No objections to this course were raised in the Advisory Committee.  (17) The complainants were informed of the facts on the basis of which the Commission intended to terminate the investigation. The Commission however, received no evidence from the companies concerned to alter its conclusions,  HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:  Sole Article  The investigation under Article 13 (10) of Regulation (EEC) No 2176/84 concerning electronic scales for use in the retail trade which incorporates a digital display of the weight, unit price and price to be paid (whether or not including a means of printing these data) falling within CN code ex 8423 81 50, originating in Japan, is hereby terminated with regard to TEC-Keylard Welgschalen Nederland BV.
