12.3.2015 Official Journal of the European Union L 67/23 COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2015/409 of 11 March 2015 amending Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 917/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitely the provisional duty imposed on imports of ceramic tiles originating in the People’s Republic of China THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION, Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (!) (the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof, Whereas: 1. PROCEDURE 1.1. Measures in force (I)  On 15 September 2011 the Council imposed anti-dumping duties on imports of ceramic tiles originating in the People’s Republic of China by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 917/2011 (3 (‘the original Regulation). (2) A single duty rate of 26,3 % was imposed on imports of the product concerned manufactured by the following group of exporting producers: — Dongguan City Wonderful Ceramics Industrial Park Co., Ltd and Guangdong Jiamei Ceramics Co. Ltd (together referred to as the Wonderful group), and — Qingyuan Gani Ceramics Co. Ltd and Foshan Gani Ceramics Co. Ltd (together referred to as the Gani group). (3)  As set out in recitals 96 to 98 of the original Regulation, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) was notified after disclosure of provisional findings that the relationship between the companies had been severed and on that basis individual duties for the Gani group and for the Wonderful group should have been applied. The request could not be accepted at that stage as its merits needed to be properly examined. 1.2. Request for a partial interim review (4)  On 2 October 2012 the Commission received a request for a partial interim review from the Gani group. (5)  The Gani group claimed that they were no longer related to the other two companies (the Wonderful group) as the shareholding relationship between them had ceased as of March 2011. The Gani group therefore requested an interim review of the measures in force, as the single duty rate in force was no longer appropriate. 1.3. Initiation of a partial interim review (6) The Commission determined, after having consulted the Advisory Committee, that such a review should therefore be opened. (7)  On 31 January 2014, the Commission initiated a partial interim review of the measures in force on imports into the Union of ceramic tiles originating in the People’s Republic of China under Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. It published a Notice of Initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union (). (8)  The review was limited in scope to the examination of the ownership structure of the Gani group and, if warranted, ex officio of the dumping margin as far as the Gani group was concerned. (9)  The review also covered ex officio the same matters as far as the Wonderful group was concerned. () OJL343,22.12.2009,p. 51.
