Council Regulation (EC) No 954/2008 of 25 September 2008 amending Council Regulation (EC) No 682/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain prepared or preserved sweetcorn in kernels originating in Thailand (O] L 260, 30.9.2008, p. 1). — = (3) ) Following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation (‘the expiry review) the Council, by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 875/2013 (%), main- tained the duty ranging between 3,1 % and 14,3 %. 2. Request for a review The European Commission (the Commission’) received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. This request was lodged by River Kwai International Food Industry Co. Ltd (the applicant), an exporting producer from Thailand. The request was limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as the applicant was concerned. In its request, the applicant provided prima facie evidence that, as far as the dumping by the applicant is concerned, the circumstances on the basis of which the measures in force were imposed have changed and that these changes were of a lasting nature. In particular, the applicant claimed that the changed circumstances relate to changes in the product range it commercialises which have a direct impact on the cost of production thereof. A comparison of its domestic prices with its export prices to the Union indicated that the dumping margin appeared to be lower than the current level of measures. 3. Initiation of a partial interim review The Commission determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed to justify the initiation of a partial interim review limited to Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 875/2013 of 2 September 2013 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain prepared or preserved sweetcorn in kernels orig- inating in Thailand following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (O] L 244, 13.9.2013, p. 1).
