Voorstel voor een VERORDENING (EG) VAN DE RAAD tot instelling van een definitief anti-dumpingrecht op de invoer van bepaalde magneet schijven (3,5" microschijven) van oorsprong uit Maleisië, Mexico en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika en tot definitieve inning van het ingestelde voorlopige recht (door de Commissie ingediend) TOELICHTING 1. Met Verordening (EEG) nr. 2426/95 van 14 oktober 19951 stelde de Commissie een voorlopig recht in op de invoer van bepaalde magneetschijven (3,5" microschijven) van oorsprong uit de Verenigde Staten, Mexico en Maleisië. 2. Na de goedkeuring van de voorlopige maatregelen werden de belanghebbende partijen die hierom verzochten door de Commissie gehoord en dienden zij schriftelijke standpunten in. Op verzoek werden de partijen op de hoogte gebracht van de essentiële gegevens en overwegingen op basis waarvan de Commissie voornemens was de instelling van definitieve rechten en de definitieve inning van de bedragen die voor de voorlopige rechten als zekerheid waren gesteld aan te bevelen. De partijen werd ook een periode toegestaan waarbinnen zij, na van de gegevens kennis te hebben genomen, hun standpunten bekend konden maken. 3. De mondelinge en schriftelijke commentaren die door de partijen werden ingediend werden onderzocht en waar nodig werden de bevindingen van de Commissie gewijzigd om met deze standpunten rekening te houden. 4. De uiteindelijke gegevens brengen inderdaad dumping door exporteurs in Maleisië en door exporteurs die niet aan het onderzoek medewerkten in de Verenigde Staten en Mexico aan het licht; één en ander uit zich vooral in dalende prijzen en in een alsmede door deze dumping veroorzaakte schade aan de EG-bedrijfstak zwakke rentabiliteit als gevolg hiervan. PB nr. L 249 van 17. 10. 95, blz. 3 Onder deze omstandigheden oordeelt de Commissie dat het in het belang van de Gemeenschap is om definitieve maatregelen aan te nemen die de schadelijke gevolgen van bedoelde invoer met dumping op moeten heffen. Bijgevolg en overeenkomstig artikel 9 van Verordening (EEG) nr. 3283/942 van de Raad stelt de Commissie, na overleg met het Raadgevend Comité, de instelling voor van definitieve anti-dumpingrechten op de invoer van bepaalde magneetschijven (3,5" microschijven) van oorsprong uit de Verenigde Staten, Mexico en Maleisië. Gezien de vastgestelde dumpingmarges en de ernstige schade die de EG-bedrijfstak is berokkend, wordt ook voorgesteld de bedragen die voor het voorlopige anti dumpingrecht als zekerheid zijn gesteld definitief te innen ten belope van het bedrag van het definitief ingestelde recht. PB nr. L 349 van 31. 12. 1994, blz. 1 Verordening (EG) nr van. tot instelling van een definitief anti-dumpingrecht op de invoer van bepaalde magneet schijven (3,5" microschijven) van oorsprong uit Maleisië, Mexico en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika en tot definitieve inning van het ingestelde voorlopige recht van de Raad De Raad van de Europese Unie, Gelet op het Verdrag tot oprichting van de Europese Gemeenschap, Gelet op Verordening (EG) nr. 3283/94 van de Raad van 22 december 1994 betreffende beschermende maatregelen tegen invoer met dumping uit landen die geen lid zijn van de Europese Gemeenschap3, laatstelijk gewijzigd bij Verordening (EG) nr. 1251/954, in zonderheid op artikel 9, Gelet op het voorstel van de Commissie dat na overleg in het kader van het Raadgevend Comité werd ingediend, Overwegende hetgeen volgt : 3 4 PB nr. L 349 van 31. 12. 1994, blz. 1 PB nr. L 122 van 02. 06. 1995, blz. 1 A. Voorlopige maatregelen (1) Bij Verordening (EG) nr. 2426/955, hierna de "Verordening voorlopig recht" genoemd, stelde de Commissie een voorlopig anti-dumpingrecht in op de invoer in de Gemeenschap van bepaalde magneetschijven (hierna 3,5 microschijven genoemd) van oorsprong uit Maleisië, Mexico en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika, ingedeeld onder GN-code ex 8523 20 90. B. Verdere procedure (2) Na de instelling van het voorlopige anti-dumpingrecht werden één Maleisische producent die aan het onderzoek medewerkte en één bedrijf dat zowel in de Verenigde Staten als in Mexico produceerde en dat de Commissie expliciet op de hoogte had gebracht van zijn voornemen niet aan de procedure mede te werken, door de Commissie gehoord. Beide partijen dienden ook schriftelijke standpunten in waarin zij hun meningen met betrekking tot de bevindingen mededeelden. (3) Op verzoek werden de partijen op de hoogte gebracht van de essentiële gegevens en overwegingen op basis waarvan de Commissie voornemens was de instelling van definitieve rechten alsmede de definitieve inning van de bedragen die voor het voorlopig recht als zekerheid waren gesteld aan te bevelen. De partijen werd ook een redelijke termijn toegestaan waarbinnen zij hun standpunten, na kennisneming van de gegevens konden mededelen. (4) Door de hoeveelheid onderzochte gegevens en de complexiteit daarvan kon het onderzoek niet worden voltooid binnen de termijn vastgesteld in artikel 6, lid 9 van Verordening (EG) nr. 3283/94 (hierna de "basisverordening" genoemd). PB nr. L 249 van 17. 10. 1995, blz. 3 C. Produkt en soortgelijk produkt (5) Omdat geen nieuwe argumenten werden ingediend met betrekking tot het produkt en het soortgelijk produkt, worden de bevindingen die zijn opgenomen in de overwegingen 8 tot 12 van de verordening voorlopig recht bevestigd. D. Dumping (6) In het kader van de definitieve bevindingen werd de dumping vastgesteld op basis van dezelfde methoden die werden gebruikt voor de voorlopige vaststellingen van dumping. Wijzigingen in de berekeningen van de dumpingmarge vonden slechts, plaats om rekening te houden met tikfouten of technische aanpassingen aangezien door de partijen geen nieuwe gegevens en argumenten in verband met de methoden werden ingediend. (7) In het licht van het bovenstaande worden de bevindingen die zijn opgenomen in de overwegingen 14 tot 20 van de verordening voorlopig recht met de nodige wijzigingen bevestigd. Dumpingmarges (a) Producenten die hun medewerking verleenden (8) De bevindingen die zijn opgenomen in Overweging 21 van de verordening voorlopig recht met betrekking tot de producenten in de Verenigde Staten van Amerika en Mexico die hun medewerking hebben verleend, worden bevestigd. (9) Na de technische aanpassingen die werden aangebracht in de berekeningen van de normale waarde en de prijs bij uitvoer voor één producent in Maleisië die zijn medewerking verleende, bedragen de door de Commissie berekende dumpingmarges, uitgedrukt als een percentage van de prijs franco grens Gemeenschap voor elk van de betrokken bedrijven : - Mega High Tech - Diskcomp 31,8% 46,4% (b) Producenten die hun medewerking niet verleenden (10) Bij gebrek aan reacties worden de bevindingen die zijn opgenomen in de overwegingen 23 en 24 van de verordening voorlopig recht bevestigd. E. EG-bedrijfstak (11) Er werden geen nieuwe argumenten ingediend met betrekking tot de definitie van de EG-bedrijfstak. De bevindingen die zijn opgenomen in de overwegingen 25 tot 28 van de verordening voorlopig recht worden derhalve bevestigd. F. Schade 1. Prijs van de met dumping ingevoerde produkten (12) De producent in de Verenigde Staten en Mexico waarnaar in overweging 2 hierboven werd verwezen, uitte bezwaren tegen het gebruik van de gegevens van Eurostat als onweerlegbare bewijzen voor de prijsonderbieding van bedrijven die niet aan het onderzoek medewerkten, en wel om de volgende twee redenen : - ten eerste : aangezien zijn distributiesysteem op de EG-markt vergelijkbaar is met dat van die Amerikaanse en Mexicaanse producenten die wel aan het onderzoek medewerkten, zou de onderbieding door zijn bedrijf ook verwaarloosbaar moeten zijn, ten tweede : aangezien de GN-code waarover Eurostat-gegevens voor 3,5" microschrijven werden verzameld een "mand"-categorie is die ook betrekking heeft op andere produkten dan het hierboven bedoelde, zou er veel kans zijn dat evaluaties op basis van deze cijfers onnauwkeurig zijn. - Deze beweringen dienen van de hand te worden gewezen. Aangezien deze producent uitdrukkelijk besloot niet aan het onderzoek mede te werken wordt zijn bewering dat zijn prijsonderbieding ook verwaarloosbaar zou zijn, niet door bewijsmateriaal gestaafd en hebben wij hier bijgevolg te maken met een bewering. Wat het tweede bezwaar betreft, is het bij de Europese instellingen doorgaans de gewoonte, bij gebrek aan betrouwbaarder gegevens uit andere bronnen, gegevens van Eurostat als de best beschikbare bewijzen voor de ingevoerde hoeveelheden en de prijzen van deze invoer aan te wenden. Bovendien werd de methodologie die door de Commissie werd gebruikt in deze en in de twee vorige procedures (zie overweging 7 van de verordening voorlopig recht) in verband met de GN-"mand"-code als redelijk beschouwd en niet door de betrokken partijen bekritiseerd. Hoe het ook zij, de betrokken producent verstrekte geen bewijsmateriaal waaruit zou blijken dat, en in welke mate, de gegevens van Eurostat met betrekking tot bedoeld produkt misleidend zouden zijn. 2. Andere bevindingen in verband met de schade (13) Er werden geen nieuwe gegevens of argumenten ontvangen in verband met de cumulering, het oorzakelijk verband en andere bevindingen met betrekking tot de schade. De bevindingen in de overwegingen 30 tot 45 van de verordening voorlopig recht worden derhalve bevestigd. H. EG-belang (14) Er werden geen standpunten ontvangen in verband met het EG-belang in het kader van deze procedure en geen enkele belanghebbende partij leverde commentaar op de voorlopige bevindingen met betrekking tot het EG-belang. De bevindingen in de overwegingen 46 tot 50 van de verordening voorlopig recht worden derhalve bevestigd. I. Recht (15) Er werd geen commentaar ontvangen over de methodologie die de Commissie aanwendde voor de vaststelling van de toe te passen rechten zoals uiteengezet in de overwegingen 51 tot 55 van de verordening voorlopig recht. Deze worden derhalve bevestigd en aangezien de definitief vastgestelde dumpingmarges de voor de producenten in Maleisië die hun medewerking verleenden vastgestelde schadedrempels overschrijden, dienen de maatregelen te worden ingesteld op het niveau van deze schadedrempels. Aangezien de schadedrempels die werden vastgesteld voor de producenten in Mexico en de Verenigde Staten die hun medewerking verleenden, verwaarloosbaar zijn, dienen geen definitieve anti-dumpingrechten te worden ingesteld op de invoer van het door deze producenten vervaardigde soortgelijke produkt. J. Inning van de voorlopige rechten (16) Met het oog op de vastgestelde dumpingmarges, de schade die de EG-bedrijfstak is berokkend en de precaire financiële situatie van deze bedrijfstak, wordt het noodzakelijk geacht de bedragen die voor het voorlopige anti-dumpingrecht als zekerheid zijn gesteld voor alle bedrijven definitief en ten belope van het definitief vastgestelde recht te innen, HEEFT DE VOLGENDE VERORDENING VASTGESTELD : Artikel 1 1. Er wordt een definitief anti-dumpingrecht ingesteld op de invoer van 3,5" microschijven die gebruikt worden om gecodeerde digitale computergegevens te registreren en op te slaan, ingedeeld onder GN-code ex 8523 20 90 (Tarie code 8523 20 90 10), van oorsprong uit Maleisië, Mexico en de Verenigde Staten van Amerika. 2. De hoogte van het recht dat van toepassing is op de netto prijs, franco grens Gemeenschap, vóór inklaring, bedraagt : Land Maleisië Mexico Verenigde Staten Recht (%) 46,4 44,0 44,0 Taric aanvullende code 8858 8882 8857 Een uitzondering hierop vormen de volgende rechten die van toepassing zijn op de produkten die worden vervaardigd en verkocht voor uitvoer naar de Gemeenschap door de volgende bedrijven : Land en producent Recht (%) Taric aanvullende code a) Maleisië - Mega High Tech - Diskcomp 12,8% 26,4% 8855 8856 3. Het recht is niet van toepassing op de invoer van het produkt dat in paragraaf 1 is gedefinieerd en dat vervaardigd en verkocht wordt voor uitvoer naar de Gemeenschap door de volgende bedrijven : Land en producent Taric aanvullende code b) Mexico - Verbatim c) Verenigde Staten - 3M - TDK - Verbatim 8854 8853 8853 8853 4. Tenzij anders bepaald zijn de geldende bepalingen in verband met douanerechten van kracht. Artikel 2 De bedragen die voor het voorlopige anti-dumpingrecht als zekerheid zijn gesteld ingevolge Verordening (EG) nr. 2426/95 worden definitief geïnd ten belope van het definitief vastgestelde recht. Artikel 3 De Verordening treedt in werking op de dag volgend op die van haar bekendmaking in het Publikatieblad van de Europese Gemeenschappen. Deze Verordening is verbindend in al haar onderdelen en is rechtstreeks toepasselijk in elke Lid-Staat. Gedaan te Brussel, Voor de Raad 11 ISSN 0254-1513 COM(96) 122 def.

text: COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 25. 03. 1996 COM(96) 113 final 95/0127 (CNS) Amended proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) on financial and technical measures to support the reform of economic and social structures in Mediterranean non-member countries and territories (presented by the Commission pursuant to Article 189 a (2) of the EC-Treaty) EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 1. On 14 December 1995 Parliament adopted 22 amendments under the consultation procedure concerning the proposal for a Council Regulation on financial and technical measures to support the reform of economic and social structures in Mediterranean non-member countries and territories. The Commission 1. Parliament's amendments as follows: therefore presents an amended proposal incorporating Amendments adopted by the European Parliament Amendment 33 ( 1 ° whereas, preamble) Amendment 1 (third whereas) Amendment 2 ( new third bis whereas) Amendment 4 (14° whereas) Amendment 7 (15° whereas bis new) Amendment 8 (Article 1 para 2) Amendment 9 (Article 1 bis) Amendment 34 (Art 2, para 1) I Commission position Modify: should be added after the 5° preamble Reject: the reference to human rights also covers ethnic and religious minorities Reject: there should be no link with accession negotiations and implementation of cooperation measures Reject: the pluriannual nature of MEDA cannot be reduced to budgetary aspects Modify: replace with "Whereas relations with third countries should pursue the principles referred to in the Commission's Communication on "The inclusion of Respect for Democratic Principles and Human Rights in Agreements between the Community and Third Countries". This preserves the spirit of the amendment but avoids a reference to other articles in the TEU which may contradict the legal basis of the Regulation Accept Reject: The Regulation provides the necessary mechanisms to suspend measures in the case of breaches of human rights and rights of ethnic and religious minorities and not too much visibility should be given to this delicate issue Accept I 1 ; : : : —— ~——"--—~——— Amendment 12 (Article 2 para 2) Amendment 13 (Art 2, para 3) Amendment 14 (Article 2, para 4, third indent) Amendment 15 (Article 2, para 5) Amendment 16 (Art 2, para 8) Amendment 26 (Article 2, para 8) Amendment 17 ( Art 3, para 2 bis) Amendment 18 ( Art 9) Amendment 19 (Art 10, para 3) Accept 2° indent Accept 4° indent Reject 6° indent because this refers to a trade measure which concerns the Association Agreements, not the Regulation Reject 2° indent because self-sufficiency in food is not an appropriate objective given scarce water resources and growing trade in agriculture Accept indents 3° to 11° Reject 12° indent because trade in human beings is not widely recognised to be a problem specific to the Mediterranean Modify: replace with "other regional activities including the Euro-Arab Dialogue" because this gives more flexibility Accept Reject: The existing text provides an effective mechanism for suspension of cooperation in case of abuses of human rights, as appropriate for an internal Regulation Reject: The institutional equilibrium should be maintained; the Commission may already transmit the requests of Parliament by using Art 138b of the TEU Reject: Such an evaluation is appropriate in the context of the annual evaluation. The Commission is committed to regularly informing the relevant Committee of the Parliament on the implementation of the Regulation. Reject: no fixed country financial allocation is to be determined because the MEDA programme foresees more flexibility than the old financial protocol system. Indicative country allocations will be used for internal programming purposes and will be based on population, absorption capacity and progress in negotiations concerning the establishment of an Association Agreement. Reject: the comitology proposed by the Commission provides the necessary flexibility V\ 11 I Amendment 20 (Art 10, para 6) Amendment 21 (Art 14, para 1) Amendment 22 (Art 14, para 2 bis new) Amendment 27 (Art 14a (new)) 1 1 Reject: The MED Committee is the appropriate forum for discussion of technical matters concerning routine project implementation. The Commission is committed to regularly informing the relevant Committee of the Parliament on the implementation of the Regulation Reject: implementation of measures to strengthen democracy will be evaluated. The Regulation is not the appropriate basis for judging the necessity of excluding certain Mediterranean partners; this should be decided in the framework of the bilateral agreements Reject: the annual evaluation will be conducted after the termination of the calendar year whereas the budget proposal is submitted the year before; thus the proposal is not feasible. Modify: Highly detailed information on contracts is very costly to produce in terms of human resources and is only interesting to the operators concerned with implementation and para 1 should read, "The results of invitations to tender shall be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities. Twice a year the Commission shall submit to the Committee referred to in Article 10 detailed and specific information on the contracts concluded in furtherance of MEDA programmes and projects. " Amendment 24 (Art 16, 2° line new) 1999, the Council will proceed to re Accept paragraphs 2, 3, 4 and 5. Modify: replace with "Before the 30 June examine the Regulation. To this end, the Commission will submit before 31 December 1998, an evaluation report containing proposals concerning the future of the Regulation and, as necessary, modifications to the Regulation. " The amended proposal is attached. it Amended proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) on financial and technical measures to support the reform of economic and social structures in Mediterranean non-member countries and territories The Council of the European Union, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 235 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, Whereas the stability and prosperity of the Mediterranean region require a new phase of relations to be established which foresee the establishment of a free trade area between the European Community and Mediterranean non-member countries and territories as well as the associated applicant countries Cyprus and Malta and a customs union with Turkey; Whereas the Essen European Council of 9-10 December 1994 affirmed that the Mediterranean constitutes a priority area of strategic importance to the European Union and adopted the aim of establishing a Euro-Mediterranean partnership; Whereas it is necessary to pursue efforts to ensure that the Mediterranean becomes an area of political stability and security founded on respect for democracy, good governance and respect for human rights; Whereas for the Mediterranean non-member countries and territories the establishment of a free trade area will involve profound structural reform; Whereas it is therefore necessary to support the efforts that Mediterranean non-member countries and territories will undertake to reform their economic and social structures; Whereas there is a need to devise an integration strategy in which the regions of the Union can participate, and whereas it is therefore essential to encourage interregional and cross-border cooperation between the two shores of the Mediterranean; Whereas intensified regional cooperation and in particular the development of economic links and trade flows between Mediterranean non-member countries and territories which are conducive to economic reform and restructuring should be encouraged; Whereas the bilateral protocols on financial and technical cooperation concluded by the Community with Mediterranean non-member countries provided a useful initial basis for cooperation and now it is necessary to build on the experience which has been acquired and to enter into a new partnership within a unified framework; Whereas rules for the administration of such partnership have to be determined; Whereas to this end the present Regulation will apply to the range of measures contained 1c in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1762/92 on the implementation of the protocols on financial and technical cooperation concluded by the Community with Mediterranean non-member countries, in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1763/92 concerning financial cooperation in respect of all Mediterranean non-member countries for measures whose scope extends beyond the scope of a single country, in Council Regulation (E C) No 1734/94 on financial and technical cooperation with the Occupied Territories and in proposal COM (94) 289 final for a Council Regulation in the field of employment creation and support to small and micro-enterprises in the Maghreb countries; Whereas therefore, the present Regulation replaces the abovementioned Regulations as from 1 January 1997, while it is necessary to maintain Council Regulation (EEC) No 1762/92 in force for the management of financial protocols still applicable at this date and for the commitment of funds remaining under the expired financial protocols; Whereas in respect of environmental projects the loans granted by the European Investment Bank, hereinafter referred to as "the Bank", from its own resources under conditions laid down by it, in accordance with its Statute, may receive an interest-rate subsidy; Whereas in loan operations involving interest-rate subsidies, the granting of a loan by the Bank from its own resources and the granting of an interest-rate subsidy financed by the budgetary resources of the Community must be linked and are conditional upon each other; whereas the Bank may, in accordance with its Statute, and in particular by a unanimous decision of its Board of Directors in the presence of an unfavourable opinion by the Commission, decide to grant a loan from its own resources, subject to granting of the interest-rate subsidy; whereas, on account of this aspect, it is necessary to ensure that the procedure adopted for granting interest-rate subsidies results in every case in an express decision, whether to grant the subsidy or to refuse it, where appropriate; Whereas it is necessary to make provision for a Committee consisting of representatives of the Member States to assist the Bank in the tasks attributed to it to implement this Regulation; Whereas to allow for effective management of the measures foreseen in this Regulation and to facilitate policy dialogue with the beneficiary countries a multiannual approach is required; Whereas relations with third countries should follow the principles referred to in the Commission's communication on "the inclusion of respect for democratic principles and human rights in agreements between the Community and third countries"; Whereas the measures foreseen by the present Regulation go beyond the framework of development cooperation and are destined to apply to countries which cannot be classified as developing countries; whereas therefore this Regulation cannot be adopted other than on the basis of the competences foreseen by Article 235 of the EC Treaty, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: Article 1 The Community shall implement measures to support the efforts that the Î. Mediterranean non-member countries and territories listed in Annex 1 (hereinafter 2. to as "Mediterranean partners") will undertake to reform their economic and social structures. The beneficiaries of support measures may include not only states and regions but 2. also local authorities, regional organizations, public agencies, education and training structures, local or traditional communities, organizations supporting business, trade unions, private operators, cooperatives, mutual societies, associations, foundations and non-governmental organizations. Article 2 1. Support measures shall be undertaken in coherence with the objective of achieving long-term stability and prosperity and in particular in the fields of economic transition, achieving socioeconomic equilibrium, sustainable management of natural and cultural resources and regional and cross-border cooperation, including cooperation with the regions of the European Union. 2. Support to economic transition and the establishment of a Euro-Mediterranean free trade area shall include notably: - private sector development and employment creation, including improvement of the business environment and support to SME; - development of the financial system; - promotion of European private investment, including industrial cooperation; - upgrading of economic infrastructure; - restructuring and privatization of industrial sectors and infrastructure; - operations in support of structural adjustment programmes. 3. Support to achieving a better socioeconomic balance shall include notably: - the improvement of social services; - harmonious and integrated rural development; - development of water resources; - development of basic infrastructure, particularly in the energy, transport and telecommunications sectors; - reinforced cooperation concerning fisheries; - environmental cooperation; - participation of civil society in development; - modernization of public administration; 3 - integrated development of human resources, notably in education and vocational training, as well as improving the potential for scientific and technological research; - strengthening democracy and respect for human rights and the rights of ethnic and religious minorities; - cultural cooperation, including the strengthening of audiovisual media; - through the above measures, cooperation and technical assistance in order to reduce illegal immigration, drug trafficking and international crime. 4. Regional and cross-border cooperation shall be supported notably by: - establishing structures and improving infrastructure for regional cooperation between Mediterranean partners; - establishing the infrastructure necessary for regional trade, including transport, communications and energy, improvement of the regulatory framework and small-scale infrastructure projects in the context of border-crossing facilities: particular attention will be paid to border-crossing facilities on borders between the Mediterranean partners and the Union, to cooperation on the level of large geographic regions as well as to measures complementary to those undertaken in this field within the Union; - other regional activities including the Euro-Arab Dialogue Good governance shall be promoted by supporting key institutions, including 5. local government, trade unions, media and organizations supporting business and by assisting in the improvement of the capacity of the public administration to develop policies and manage implementation. Good governance shall also be promoted through support for projects aimed at encouraging cooperation between local and regional bodies. 6. Measures taken under this Regulation shall pay due regard to the promotion of the participation of women. Special importance shall be attached to the creation of jobs for women and young people. 7. The activities financed under this Regulation shall mainly take the form of technical assistance, training, institution building, policy dialogue, information, seminars, studies, investment projects in companies, micro-enterprises, SME and infrastructure and actions to ensure the visibility of Community projects and programmes. Recourse should be made to decentralized cooperation where this may prove effective. Risk capital operations and interest-rate subsidies may be financed notably in collaboration with the European Investment Bank. Costs incurred by the beneficiaries as a result of the preparation, implementation, monitoring, audit and execution of support measures may also be covered. When an essential element for the continuation of support measures is missing, in 8. particular in cases of violation of democratic principles and human rights, the Council may, on a proposal from the Commission, acting by a qualified majority, decide upon appropriate measures concerning the assistance to a Mediterranean partner. Article 3 Measures to be financed under this Regulation shall be selected taking account, 1. inter alia, of the beneficiaries' priorities, evolving needs and progress towards structural reform as well as on the basis of an assessment of the effectiveness of those measures in achieving the objectives aimed at by Community support, in line with the provisions of association or cooperation agreements where applicable. 2. Indicative programmes covering three-year periods shall be established at national and regional level, taking into account the priorities identified with the Mediterranean partners, including the conclusions of economic dialogue, and shall be updated annually, as necessary. These programmes shall define the principal objectives of and guidelines for Community support in the indicative areas referred to in Article 2 and may include a financial estimate. These programmes may be amended during the period of their application taking into account the experience accumulated in the implementation of this Regulation as well as progress in structural reform, macroeconomic stabilization and social progress achieved by the Mediterranean partners. Financing decisions based notably on these indicative programmes shall be 3. adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 10. Article 4 1. The Commission shall, together with the Member States and on the basis of the information supplied by them, ensure the effective coordination of the assistance efforts undertaken by the Community and individual Member States. In addition, coordination and cooperation with international financial institutions and other donors shall be encouraged. 2. The measures referred to in this Regulation may be granted by the Community, either independently or in the form of co-financing with the Mediterranean partners themselves or with, on the one hand, public or private bodies of the Member States and the European Investment Bank or, on the other hand, third countries or multilateral bodies. Article 5 Community financing shall notably be in the form of grants or risk capital. 1. Concerning cooperation measures in the field of the environment, it may equally take the form of interest-rate subsidies for loans granted by the Bank from its own resources. Grants may be used to finance or co-finance activities, projects or programmes 2. which contribute to the realization of the objectives defined in Article 2. The extent to which activities, projects or programmes will be financed by grants shall also depend on their capacity to yield financial return. 3. Financing decisions and any financing agreements and contracts resulting therefrom shall expressly provide, inter alia, for supervision and financial control by the Commission and audits by the Court of Auditors to be carried out on the spot. Article 6 - Measures under this Regulation may cover expenditure on imports of goods and 1. services and local expenditure needed to carry out the projects and programmes. Taxes, duties and charges shall be excluded from Community financing. Contracts for the implementation of Community-funded measures under this Regulation shall enjoy, in the Mediterranean partners concerned, fiscal and customs arrangements no less favourable than those applied by such partners in respect of the most favoured state or most favoured international development organization. 2. Maintenance and operating costs may be covered for training, communications and research programmes and for other projects; however, for the latter, such costs may be covered only in the start-up stage on a declining scale. 3. For investment projects, Community financing shall be combined with own resources of the promoter or with financing at market conditions, taking into account the nature of the project. However, Community financing may not exceed 80% of total investment cost. Article 7 Invitations to tender and contracts shall be open on equal terms to all natural and 1. legal persons of the Member States and of Mediterranean partners. 2. In the case of co-financing, participation in invitations to tender and contracts by nationals of countries other than the Mediterranean partners concerned may be authorized by the Commission on a case-by-case basis. In these cases, participation of undertakings from third countries shall be acceptable only if reciprocity is granted. Article 8 Financing decisions exceeding ECU 2 000 000 other than those relating to 1. interest-rate subsidies on European Investment Bank loans and risk capital shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10. 2. Financing decisions on overall allocations shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 10. The Commission shall inform the Committee referred to in Article 10 of the use made of these overall allocations. 3. Decisions amending decisions adopted in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 10 shall be taken by the Commission where they do not entail any substantial amendments or additional commitments in excess of 20% of the original commitment. Financing decisions relating to interest-rate subsidies on Bank loans shall be 4. adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 11. Financing decisions relating to risk capital shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 12. Article 9 Measures referred to in this Regulation which are financed from the general budget of the European Community shall be appraised, decided upon and administered by the Commission, without prejudice to the management by the Bank of interest-rate subsidies and risk capital operations under authority conferred on it by the Commission on behalf of the Community pursuant to Article 105(3) of the Financial Regulation of 21 December 1977 applicable to the general budget of the Community. Article 10 1. The Commission shall be assisted by a Committee composed of the representatives of the Member States and chaired by the representative of the Commission (hereinafter referred to as the 'Committee') to be known as the "MED Committee". A representative of the Bank shall take part in the proceedings. 2. The representative of the Commission shall submit to the Committee a draft of the measures to be taken. The Committee shall deliver its opinion on the draft within a time limit the chair may lay down according to the urgency of the matter. The opinion shall be delivered by the majority laid down in Article 148(2) of the EC Treaty in the case of decisions which the Council is required to adopt on a proposal from the Commission.

Ehdotus NEUVOSTON ASETUKSEKSI (EY) Malesiasta, Meksikosta ja Yhdysvalloista peräisin olevien magneettilevykkeiden (3,5 tuuman mikrotietokonelevyke) tuontia koskevan lopullisen polkumyyntitullin käyttöön ottamisesta ja väliaikaisen polkumyyntitullin lopullisesta kantamisesta. (komission esittämä) 1. 2. 3. 4. PERUSTELUT Komission 14 lokakuuta 1995 antamalla asetuksella (ETY) N:o 2426/951 otettiin käyttöön Yhdysvalloista, Meksikosta ja Malesiasta peräisin olevien eräiden magneettilevykkeiden tuontia koskeva väliaikainen tulli. tuuman mikrotietokonelevyke) (3,5 Väliaikaisten toimenpiteiden käyttöön ottamisen jälkeen asianomaiset osapuolet, jotka sitä toivoivat, tulivat komission kuulemiksi ja esittivät näkökantansa kirjallisesti. Osapuolille ilmoitettiin pyydettäessä olennaiset tosiseikat ja huomiot, joiden perusteella päätettiin suositella lopullisten tullien käyttöön ottamista ja väliaikaisen tullin määrää vastaavan vakuuden lopullista kantamista. Osapuolille annettiin myös määräaika, jonka kuluessa ne voivat esittää vastalauseensa ilmoituksen antamisen jälkeen. Osapuolten esittämät suulliset ja kirjalliset huomautukset otettiin huomioon ja komission päätelmiin tehtiin asianmukaisia muutoksia huomautusten huomioon ottamiseksi. Lopullisesti varmennetut tosiseikat vahvistavat Malesiassa sijaitsevia viejiä ja Yhdysvalloissa sekä Meksikossa sijaitsevia yhteistyöhön osallistumattomia viejiä koskevan polkumyynnin sekä yhteisön teollisuudelle tästä aiheutuneen vahingon, joka on johtanut erityisesti hintojen laskuun ja kannattavuuden heikkenemiseen. EYVL N:o L 249, 17. 10. 1995, s. 3 5. Komissio katsoo tämän vuoksi, että lopullisten toimenpiteiden käyttöön ottaminen kyseisen polkumyynnillä tapahtuneen tuonnin aiheuttaman vahingon poistamiseksi on yhteisön edun mukaista. Tämän vuoksi komissio esittää neuvoston asetuksen (ETY) N:o 3283/94 9 artiklan2 perusteella ja neuvoa-antavaa komiteaa kuultuaan Yhdysvalloista, Meksikosta ja Malesiasta peräisin olevien eräiden magneettilevykkeiden (3,5 tuuman mikrotietokonelevyke) tuontia koskevan lopullisen polkumyyntitullin käyttöön ottamista. 6. Ottaen huomioon määritetyt polkumyyntimarginaalit ja yhteisön teollisuudelle aiheutuneen vahingon vakavuus katsotaan aiheelliseksi myös väliaikaista polkumyyntitullia vastaavan vakuuden lopullinen kantaminen lopullisesti käyttöön otetun tullin suuruisena. EYVLNioL 349, 31. 12. 1994, s. 1 /&'?. NEUVOSTON ASETUS (EY) N:o Malesiasta, Meksikosta ja Yhdysvalloista peräisin olevien magneettilevykkeiden (3,5 tuuman mikrotietokonelevyke) tuontia koskevan lopullisen polkumyyntitullin käyttöön ottamisesta ja väliaikaisen polkumyyntitullin lopullisesta kantamisesta. Euroopan unionin neuvosto, joka, ottaa huomioon Euroopan yhteisön perustamissopimuksen, ottaa huomioon polkumyynnillä muista kuin Euroopan yhteisöjen jäsenvaltioista tapahtuvalta tuonnilta suojautumisesta 22 päivänä joulukuuta 1994 annetun neuvoston asetuksen (EY) N:o 3283/943, sellaisena kuin se on muutettuna asetuksella (EY) N:o 1251/954, ja erityisesti sen 9 artiklan, ottaa huomioon komission neuvoa antavaa komiteaa kuultuaan antaman ehdotuksen, sekä katsoo, että: 3 4 EYVLN:oL 349, 31. 12. 1994, s. 1 EYVL N:o L 122, 2. 6. 1995, s. 1 A. Väliaikaiset toimenpiteet 1. Komission asetuksella (EY) N:o 2426/955, jäljempänä "väliaikaisen tullin säätävä asetus", otettiin käyttöön Malesiasta, Meksikosta ja Yhdysvalloista peräisin olevien eräiden CN koodiin ex 8523 20 90 kuuluvien magneettilevykkeiden (jäljempänä 3,5 tuuman mikrotietokonelevyke) tuontia koskeva väliaikainen polkumyyntitulli. B. Myöhempi menettely Väliaikaisen polkumyyntitullin käyttöön ottamisen jälkeen komissio kuuli yhtä yhteistyössä ollutta malesialaista tuottajaa sekä yhtä Yhdysvalloissa sekä Meksikossa toimivaa tuottajaa, jotka olivat aikaisemmin ilmoittaneet komissiolle nimenomaisesti, että ne eivät aio osallistua menettelyyn. Molemmat osapuolet esittivät myös kirjallisesti päätelmiä koskevat näkökantansa. Osapuolet saivat pyydettäessä olennaisia tosiseikkoja ja huomioita koskevia tietoja, joiden perusteella aiottiin suositella lopullisten tullien käyttöön ottamista lopullista kantamista. ja väliaikaisen Osapuolille annettiin myös kohtuullinen määräaika, jonka kuluessa ne saivat esittää vastalauseensa ilmoituksen antamisen jälkeen. tullin määrää vastaavan vakuuden Tutkittujen tietojen määrän ja monimuotoisuuden vuoksi tutkimusta ei voitu suorittaa asetuksen (EY) N:o 3283/94 6 artiklan 9 kohdan, jäljempänä "perusasetus", mukaiseen määräaikaan mennessä. EYVL N:o L 249, 17. 10. 1995, s. 3 5. 6. 7. C. Tarkasteltavana oleva tuote ja samankaltainen tuote Koska tarkasteltavana olevaa tuotetta ja samankaltaista tuotetta koskevia uusia väitteitä ei esitetty, vahvistetaan väliaikaisen polkumyyntitullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 8-12 kappaleessa esitetyt päätelmät. D. Polkumyynti Lopullisten päätelmien osalta käytettiin väliaikaisessa polkumyyntimäärityksessä käytettyjä menetelmiä. Polkumyyntimarginaaleja koskeviin laskelmiin tehtiin ainoastaan kirjoitusvirheitä ja teknisiä parannuksia koskevia muutoksia, koska osapuolet eivät esittäneet uusia tietoja ja menetelmiä koskevia väitteitä. Edellä esitetyn perusteella väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 14 - 20 kappaleessa esitetyt päätelmät vahvistetaan asianmukaiseksi katsottujen mukautusten jälkeen. Polkumyyntimarginaalit a) Yhteistyössä toimineet tuottajat 8. Yhdysvalloissa ja Meksikossa sijaitsevia yhteistyössä toimineita yhtiöitä koskevat päätelmät vahvistetaan väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 21 kappaleen mukaisesti. 9. Yhteistyössä toimivan malesialaisen tuottajan osalta normaaliarvoa ja vientihintaa koskeviin laskelmiin tehtyjen teknisten mukautusten perusteella komissio määritti kyseisille yrityksille prosentteina vapaasti yhteisön rajalla hinnasta ilmaistut lopulliset polkumyyntimarginaalit seuraavasti: - Mega High Tech -Diskcomp 31,8% 46,4% b) Yhteistyöhön osallistumattomat tuottajat 10. Koska väitteitä ei esitetty, väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 23 ja 24 kappaleen päätelmät vahvistetaan. E. YHTEISÖN TEOLLISUUS 11. Yhteisön teollisuuden määritelmää koskevia uusia väitteitä ei esitetty. Tämän vuoksi vahvistetaan väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 25 - 28 kappaleessa esitetyt päätelmät. F. VAHINKO 1. Polkumyynnillä tapahtuneen tuonnin hinnat 12. Edellä johdanto-osan 2 kappaleessa mainittu Yhdysvalloissa ja Meksikossa toimiva yhtiö esitti kaksi väitettä, joiden perusteella se vastusti Eurostaan tietojen käyttämistä alihinnoittelua osoittavina todisteina yhteistyöhön osallistumattomien yhtiöiden osalta. Koska sen jakelumenetelmä yhteisön markkinoilla vastaa ensiksi yhteistyössä olevien amerikkalaisten ja meksikolaisten yritysten käyttämiä menetelmiä, myös yhtiön alihinnoittelu olisi ollut vähäistä. Toiseksi, koska 3,5 tuuman mikrotietokonelevykkeitä koskevien tietojen keräämisessä Eurostatin käyttämä CN-koodi on "koriluokka", johon tarkasteltavana olevan tuotteen lisäksi kuuluu muitakin tuotteita, voidaan olettaa, että saatuihin lukuihin perustuvat päätelmät ovat epätarkkoja. Näitä väitteitä ei voida hyväksyä. Koska kyseinen tuottaja nimenomaisesti kieltäytyi osallistumasta menettelyyn, ei ole todisteita, jotka osoittaisivat, että alihinnoittelu olisi ollut myös sen osalta vähäistä, minkä perusteella väitettä ei voida ottaa huomioon. Toisen väitteen osalta todetaan, että on yhteisön toimielimissä vallitsevan käytännön mukaista pitää Eurostatin toimittamia tuontimääriä koskevia tietoja soveltuvimpina saatavilla olevina todisteina, jos muista lähteistä peräisin olevia tietoja ei ole käytettävissä. Lisäksi komission käyttämät luotettavampia luonteen huomioon menetelmät kyseessä olevan CN-koodin "korimaisen" ottamiseksi tässä sekä kahdessa aikaisemmassa menettelyssä, (ks. väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 7 kappale), on todettu asianmukaisiksi eivätkä asianosaiset osapuolet ole esittäneet menetelmää koskevia vastalauseita. Kyseessä oleva tuottaja ei ole myöskään esittänyt minkäänlaisia todisteita siitä, että Eurostatin esittämät luvut olisivat harhaanjohtavia tai miten harhaanjohtavia ne kyseisen tuotteen osalta olisivat. 2. Muuta vahinkoa koskevat päätelmät 13. Kumulaatiota, syy-yhteyttä ja muuta vahinkoa koskeviin päätelmiin liittyviä uusia tietoja ja väitteitä ei esitetty. Tämän perusteella väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 30 - 45 kappaleessa esitetyt päätelmät vahvistetaan. H. Yhteisön etu 14. Tässä menettelyssä ei esitetty yhteisön etua koskevia vastalauseita, ja asianosaiset osapuolet eivät esittäneet väliaikaisten päätelmien osalta yhteisön etuun liittyviä huomautuksia. Tämän vuoksi väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 46 - 50 kappaleessa esitetyt päätelmät vahvistetaan. I. Tulli 15. Huomautuksia ei esitetty väliaikaisen tullin säätävän asetuksen johdanto-osan 51 - 55 kappaleessa esitettyjen menetelmien osalta, joita komissio käytti sovellettavien tullien tason määrittämiseksi. ja koska tämän vuoksi, vahvistetaan vahinkokynnyksen, lopullisesti määritetyt Tullit polkumyyntimarginaalit ylittävät malesialaisille yhteistyössä oleville tuottajille vahvistetun käyttöön vahinkokynnyksen suuruisina. Koska yhteistyössä oleville meksikolaisille ja amerikkalaisille tuottajille määritellyt vahinkokynnykset ovat vähimmäistasoa, lopullisia polkumyyntitoimenpiteitä ei pitäisi ottaa käyttöön näiden tuottajien tuottamien samankaltaisten tuotteiden osalta. toimenpiteet otettava olisi J. Väliaikaisten tullien kantaminen 16. Ottaen huomioon määritetyt polkumyyntimarginaalit, yhteisön teollisuudelle aiheutunut vahinko ja yhteisön teollisuuden uhanalainen taloudellinen tilanne, väliaikaista polkumyyntitullia vastaavan vakuuden lopullinen kantaminen lopullisesti käyttöön otetun tullin suuruisena katsotaan välttämättömäksi. ON ANTANUT TÄMÄN ASETUKSEN: 1 artikla 1. Otetaan käyttöön lopullinen polkumyyntitulli tuotaessa maahan CN-koodiin ex 8523 20 90 ja Taric-koodiin 8523 20 90 10 kuuluvia Malesiasta, Meksikosta ja Yhdysvalloista peräisin olevia digitaalisen tietojenkäsittelytekniikan avulla käsiteltävän tiedon tallentamiseen ja säilyttämiseen käytettäviä 3,5 tuuman mikrotietokonelevykkeitä. 2. Vapaasti yhteisön rajalla tullaamattomana -nettohintaan sovellettavan tullin määrä on seuraava: Maa Malesia Meksiko Yhdysvallat Tullin määrä (%) 46,4 44,0 44,0 Taric-lisäkoodi 8858 8882 8857 lukuunottamatta valmistamaan ja myymään tuontiin seuraavia yhtiöitä, joiden yhteisön alueelle vietäväksi sovellettava tullin määrä on seuraava: Maa ja tuottaja a) Malesia - Mega High Tech - Diskcomp Tullin määrä (%) Taric-lisäkoodi 12,8 26,4 8855 8856 10 3. Tullia ei sovelleta edellä 1 kohdassa tarkoitettujen tuotteiden maahantuontia varten tapahtuvaan tuotantoon ja myyntiin seuraavien yhtiöiden osalta: Maa ja tuottaja b) Meksiko - Verbatim c) Yhdysvallat - 3M - TDK - Verbatim Taric-lisäkoodi 8854 8853 8853 8853 4. Jollei toisin mainita, sovelletaan tulleista voimassa olevia säännöksiä. 2 artikla Säädöksen (EY) N:o 2426/95 edellyttämän väliaikaisen polkumyyntitullin määrää vastaava vakuus kannetaan lopullisesti lopullisen tullin määrää vastaavana. 3 artikla Tämä asetus tulee voimaan seuraavana päivänä sen jälkeen, kun se on julkaistu Euroopan yhteisöjen virallisessa lehdessä. Tämä asetus on kaikilta osiltaan velvoittava, ja sitä sovelletaan sellaisenaan kaikissa jäsenvaltioissa.

EXPOSIÇÃO DOS MOTIVOS Através do Regulamento (CE) n" 2426/95 de 14 de Outubro de 19951, a Comissão criou um direito anti-dumping provisório sobre as importações de certos discos magnéticos (microdiscos de 3,5 polegadas) originários dos Estados Unidos da América, do México e da Malásia. Na sequência da adopção das medidas provisórias, as partes interessadas que o solicitaram foram ouvidas pela Comissão e apresentaram observações por factos e escrito. Mediante pedido, as partes considerações essenciais, com base nos quais a Comissão tencionava recomendar a criação de direitos definitivos e a cobrança definitiva dos montantes garantes do direito provisório. Foi-lhes igualmente concedido um prazo para apresentarem observações após a divulgação das informações. informadas dos foram Os comentários orais e escritos apresentados pelas partes foram tidos em conta e, sempre que adequado, as conclusões da Comissão foram alteradas a fim de os tomar em consideração. Os factos definitivamente estabelecidos provam a existência de dumping no que respeita aos exportadores na Malásia e aos exportadores dos Estados Unidos e do México, que não cooperaram no inquérito, bem como de um prejuízo dele resultante para a indústria comunitária, que se traduziram especialmente numa depreciação dos preços e, consequentemente, numa falta de rentabilidade. 1 JO L n° 249 de 1 7. 1 0. 1 9 9 5. 4 interesse da Nestas circunstâncias, a Comissão considera que é do Comunidade adoptar medidas anti-dumping definitivas, com vista a eliminar o efeito prejudicial das importações objecto de dumping em questão. Por conseguinte, em conformidade com o disposto no artigo 9_ do Regulamento (CEE) n° 3283/94 do Conselho2, a Comissão, após consulta do Comité Consultivo, propõe que sejam criados direitos anti-dumping definitivos sobre as importações de determinados discos magnéticos (microdiscos de 3,5 polegadas) originários dos Estados Unidos, do México e da Malásia. Tendo em conta as margens de dumping estabelecidas e a gravidade do prejuízo causado à igualmente que os indústria comunitária, propõe-se montantes garantes do direito anti-dumping provisório sejam definitivamente cobrados até ao limite do montante do direito definitivo criado. JO ncL 349 de 3 1. 1 2. 1 9 9 4, p. l 1 REGULAMENTO (CE) n° DO CONSELHO de que cria um direito anti-dumping definitivo sobre as importações de certos discos magnéticos (microdiscos de 3,5 polegadas) originários dos Estados Unidos da América, do México e da Malásia e que estabelece a cobrança definitiva do direito provisório criado O CONSELHO DA UNIÃO EUROPEIA, Tendo em conta o Tratado que institui a Comunidade Europeia, Tendo em conta o Regulamento (CE) n° 3283/94 do Conselho, de 22 de Dezembro de 1994, relativo à defesa contra as importações objecto de dumping de países não membros da Comunidade Europeia3, com a última redacção que lhe foi dada pelo Regulamento (CE) n° 1251/954 e, nomeadamente, o seu artigo 9o, Tendo em conta a proposta apresentada pela Comissão após consulta do Comité Consultivo, Considerando o seguinte: 3JO L n° 349 de 3 1. 1 2. 1 9 9 4, p. 1. 4JO L n° 122 de 2. 6. 1 9 9 5, p. 1. 3 (1) (2) A. Medidas provisórias Através do Regulamento (CE) n° 2426/955, a seguir designado "regulamento provisório", a Comissão criou um direito anti-dumping provisório sobre as importações na Comunidade de certos discos magnéticos (microdiscos de 3,5 polegadas) originários dos Estados Unidos da América, do México e da Malásia, do código ex 8523 20 90. B. Processo subsequente Na sequência da criação do direito anti-dumping provisório, um produtor malaio que cooperou no inquérito e uma empresa produtora estabelecida nos Estados Unidos e no México, que havia explicitamente informado a Comissão de que não tencionava participar no processo, foram ouvidos pela Comissão. Ambas as partes apresentaram igualmente observações por escrito, dando a conhecer os seus pontos de vista sobre as conclusões. (3) Mediante pedido, as partes foram informadas dos factos e considerações essenciais, com base nos quais a Comissão tencionava recomendar a criação de direitos definitivos e a cobrança definitiva dos montantes garantes do direito provisório. Foi-lhes também concedido um prazo razoável para apresentarem observações na sequência da divulgação das informações. (4) Devido ao volume e à complexidade dos dados analisados, o inquérito não pôde ser concluído no prazo estabelecido no n° 9 do artigo 6 do Regulamento (CE) n° 3283/94 (a seguir designado "regulamento de base"). 5JO L n* 249 de 17. 10. 1995, p. 3 Cf C. Produto em questão e produto similar (5) Dado que não foram apresentados novos argumentos relativamente ao produto em questão e ao produto similar, são confirmadas as conclusões estabelecidas nos considerandos (8) a (12) do regulamento provisório. D. Dumping (6) Para efeitos das conclusões definitivas, o dumping foi estabelecido com base nos métodos já utilizados para a determinação provisória do dumping. Os cálculos da margem de dumping só foram alterados a fim de ter em conta erros de escrita ou alterações de ordem técnica, uma vez que as partes não apresentaram novos factos, nem contestarem os métodos utilizados. (7) À luz do que precede, são confirmadas as conclusões estabelecidas nos considerandos (14) a (20) do regulamento provisório, com as necessárias alterações. Margens de dumping (a) Produtores que cooperaram no inquérito (8) No que respeita dos produtores dos Estados Unidos e do México que cooperaram no inquérito, são confirmadas as conclusões estabelecidas no considerando (21) do regulamento provisório. 5 (9) Com base nas alterações de ordem técnica introduzidas nos cálculos do valor normal e do preço de exportação relativamente a um produtor na Malásia que cooperou no inquérito, as margens de dumping definitivas calculadas pela Comissão, expressas em percentagem do preço franco-fronteira comunitária para cada uma das empresas em questão, são as seguintes: Mega High Tech Diskcomp 31,8% 46,4% (b) Produtores que não cooperaram no inquérito (10) Dado que não foram apresentados comentários, são confirmadas as conclusões estabelecidas nos considerandos (23) e (24) do regulamento provisório. E. Indústria comunitária (11) Não foram apresentados novos argumentos no que respeita à definição de indústria comunitária. São, pois, confirmadas as conclusões estabelecidas nos considerandos (25) a (28) do regulamento provisório. F. Prejuízo 1. Preços das importações objecto de dumping (12) O produtor estabelecido nos Estados Unidos e no México referido no considerando (2) contestou a utilização de dados do Eurostat como elementos de prova da subcotação dos preços relativamente às empresas que não cooperaram no inquérito, por dois motivos. Em primeiro lugar, dado que o seu sistema de distribuição no mercado comunitário é semelhante ao dos produtores americanos e mexicanos que cooperaram no inquérito, uma subcotação dos preços da sua parte, a existir, teria igualmente sido de minimis. Em segundo lugar, uma vez que o código NC com base no qual os dados do Eurostat relativos aos microdiscos de 3,5 polegadas são recolhidos corresponde a uma categoria que abrange outros produtos para além do produto em questão, quaisquer decisões baseadas nestes valores são susceptíveis de ser imprecisas. Estas alegações não podem ser aceites. Tendo em conta a decisão explícita deste produtor de não participar no processo, a sua alegação de que a subcotação dos preços que lhe é imputável teria sido de minimis não é apoiada por elementos de prova, tratando-se por este motivo, exclusivamente de uma afirmação. 1- Quanto à segunda objecção, é prática corrente das instituições comunitárias, na ausência de elementos indicativos mais fidedignos provenientes de outras fontes, utilizarem os dados dos Eurostat como os elementos de prova mais adequados relativamente aos volumes e aos preços de importação. Além disso, o método utilizado pela Comissão neste e em dois processos anteriores (ver considerando (7) do regulamento provisório) para ter em conta o facto de o código NC em questão se tratar de um código "abrangente" foi considerado razoável, não tendo sido criticado pelas partes envolvidas. De qualquer modo, o produtor em questão não forneceu elementos de prova de que, ou em que medida, os valores do Eurostat podem induzir em erro no tocante ao produto em questão. 2. Outras conclusões relativas ao prejuízo (13) Não foram recebidos novos factos ou argumentos relativamente à cumulação, ao nexo de causalidade e às outras conclusões relativas ao prejuízo. São, pois, confirmadas as conclusões dos considerandos (30) a (45) do regulamento provisório. H. Interesse da Comunidade (14) No âmbito deste processo, não foram recebidas observações relativamente ao interesse da Comunidade, nem apresentados comentários pelas partes interessadas no que respeita às conclusões provisórias relativas ao interesse da Comunidade. São, pois, confirmadas as conclusões dos considerandos (46) a (50) do regulamento provisório. $ I. Direito (15) Não foram recebidos comentários sobre o método seguido pela Comissão para o estabelecimento das taxas do direito a aplicar, tal como exposto nos considerandos (51) a (55) do regulamento provisório. Consequentemente, estas taxas são confirmadas e, dado que as margens de definitivamente estabelecidas excedem os limiares de prejuízo dumping estabelecidos relativamente aos produtores da Malásia que cooperaram no inquérito, as medidas devem ser criadas ao nível destes limiares de prejuízo. Uma vez que os limiares de prejuízo estabelecidos para os produtores do México e dos Estados Unidos que cooperaram no inquérito são de minimis, não devem sobre as ser criadas medidas anti-dumping definitivas importações do produto similar fabricado por estes produtores. J. Cobrança dos direitos provisórios (16) Tendo em conta as margens de dumping estabelecidas, o prejuízo causado à indústria comunitária, bem como a situação financeira precária desta última, considera-se necessário que os montantes garantes do direito anti-dumping provisório sejam definitivamente cobrados à taxa do direito definitivamente criado, «ï ADOPTOU O PRESENTE REGULAMENTO: Artigo 1_ 1. importações de É criado um direito anti-dumping definitivo sobre as microdiscos de 3,5 polegadas utilizados para armazenar e gravar informações digitais codificadas, do código NC ex 8523 20 90 (código adicional Taric 8523 20 90 10 ), originários dos Estados Unidos da América, da Malásia e do México. 2.

Em 13 de Fevereiro de 1995 a Comissão apresentou ao Conselho uma proposta para uma directiva do Conselho relativa à utilização de veículos de aluguer sem condutor para o transporte rodoviário de mercadorias1. Devido ao numero de alterações e por razões de clareza e de racionalidade, foi necessário proceder a uma reformulação da directiva 84/647/CEE do Conselho de 19 de Dezembro de 1984 relativa a utilização de veículos de aluguer sem condutor para o transporte rodoviário de mercadorias2. O Comité Económico e Social deu a sua opinião positiva em 31 de Maio de 1995. Durante a sua sessão plenária de 13 de Julho de 1995, o Parlamento Europeu aprovou, condicionado à inclusão de cinco alterações, a proposta para uma directiva do Conselho apresentada pela Comissão. A Comissão não aceita a alteração 1 (citação 3) que se refere o artigo 189c do Tratado, dado ser legalmente supérfluo. Contudo é aceite a alteração 5 (considerando 11 bis), pedindo à comissão que submeta uma proposta similar que permita a utilização de veículos alugados sem condutor para o transporte dos passageiros noutros Estados-membros, mas sem fixar um prazo para a submissão de tal proposta. As alterações 2 (considerando 5) e 3 (considerando 8 bis) são aceites tal como propostas pelo Parlamento Europeu. O texto da alteração 7 (novo), que a comissão aceitou, foi substituído, para se tornar num novo artigo 7 em conformidade com a comunicação da comissão (95) 162 def. Assim, a Comissão apresenta a sua proposta alterada da seguinte forma : Proposta inicial Proposta alterada (Alteração 2) Considerando 5 Considerando que as operações de transporte no sector das mercadorias deverão ser facilitadas no mercado interno; Considerando que, no âmbito da União Europeia, o mercado interno se caracteriza como um espaço no qual as mercadorias, as pessoas, os serviços e os capitais podem circular livremente e que, por tambén as consequinte, em especial Documento COM (95) 2 final JO n" L 335, 22. 12. 1984, p. 72.
