L 61)2 Official Journal of the European Union 5.3.2013 REGULATIONS COMMISSION REGULATION (EU) No 182/2013 of 1 March 2013 making imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (ie. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People’s Republic of China subject to registration 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 anti-dumping Regulation’), and in particular Articles 10(4) and 14(5) thereof, Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (?) (‘the basic anti-subsidy Regulation’), and in particular Articles 16(4) and 24(5) thereof, After consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: (1) ~ On 6 September 2012, the European Commission (the Commission’) announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (3), the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘China’ or ‘the country concerned) following a complaint lodged on 25 July 2012 by EU ProSun (the complainant) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers). (2)  On 8 November 2012, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (*) the initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) orig- inating in China following a complaint lodged on 25 September 2012 by EU ProSun on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells and wafers).

PRODUCT CONCERNED The product subject to the registration is crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells and wafers of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels, currently falling within CN codes ex 3818 00 10, ex 8501 31 00, ex 8501 32 00, ex 8501 33 00, ex 8501 34 00, ex 8501 61 20, ex 8501 61 80, ex 8501 62 00, ex 8501 63 00, ex 8501 64 00 and ex 8541 40 90, and originating in or consigned from the country concerned. The cells and wafers have a thickness not exceeding 400 pm. From the product under registration the following product types are excluded: — solar chargers that consist of less than six cells, are portable and supply electricity to devices or charge batteries, — thin film photovoltaic products, — crystalline silicon photovoltaic products that are permanently integrated into electrical goods, where the function of the electrical goods is other than power generation, and where these electrical goods consume the electricity generated by the integrated crystalline silicon photovoltaic cell(s). B. REQUEST The registration requests pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 24(5) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation were made by the complainant in the complaints at the origin of the proceedings initiated by the notices mentioned in recitals 1 and 2 and were reiterated and supplemented in the subsequent submissions. The complainant requested that imports of the product concerned are made subject to registration so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports from the date of such registration. C. GROUNDS FOR THE REGISTRATION According to Article 14(5) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 24(5) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, the Commission may, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, direct the customs authorities to take the appropriate steps to register imports, so that measures may subsequently be applied against those imports. Imports may be made subject to registration following a request from the Union industry which contains sufficient evidence to justify such action.
