L 16812 Official Journal of the European Union 2.7.2010 COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 580/2010 of 29 June 2010 amending Regulation (EC) No 452/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards originating, inter alia, in Ukraine THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 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, Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: (") ¢ O] 0] 1. PROCEDURE 1.1. Measures in force The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 452/2007 (3) (the original Regulation), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards originating, inter alia, in Ukraine. The measures consist of an ad valorem duty at a rate of 9,9 %. 1.2. Request for a review In August 2008, the Commission received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation (the interim review). The request was completed in December 2008. The request, limited in scope to the examination of dumping, was lodged by an exporting producer from Ukraine, Eurogold Industries Ltd (the applicant’ or ‘EGI). The applicant had coop- erated in the investigation which led to the findings and conclusions laid down in the original Regulation (the original investigation). The anti-dumping duty applicable to the applicant, which is the only known exporting producer of the product concerned in Ukraine, is 9,9 %. In its request, the applicant claimed that the circum- stances on the basis of which measures were imposed have changed and that these changes are of a lasting nature. The applicant provided prima facie evidence that the continued imposition of the measure at its current level is no longer necessary to offset dumping. L 343, 22.12.2009, p. 51. L 109, 26.4.2007, p. 12. 1.3. Initiation of a review Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an interim review, the Commission decided to initiate a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as EGI is concerned. The Commission published a notice of initiation on 9 April 2009 in the Official Journal of the European Union (3) (Notice of initiation) and commenced an investigation. 1.4. Product concerned and like product The product concerned by the interim review is the same as that in the original investigation, i.. ironing boards, whether or not free-standing, with or without a steam soaking and/or heating top and/or blowing top, including sleeve boards, and essential parts thereof, i.e. the legs, the top and the iron rest, originating in Ukraine, currently falling within CN codes ex 3924 90 00, ex 4421 90 98, ex 7323 93 90, ex 7323 99 91, ex 7323 99 99, ex 8516 79 70 and ex 8516 90 00. The product produced and sold in Ukraine and that exported to the Union have the same basic physical and technical characteristics and uses and are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation. 1.5. Parties concerned The Commission officially advised the Union industry, the applicant and the authorities of the exporting country of the initiation of the interim review. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to be heard. The Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant and received a reply within the deadline set for that purpose. The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the determination of dumping, and a verification visit was carried out at the premises of the applicant: — Eurogold Industries Ltd, Zhitomir, Ukraine, — and its related company Eurogold Service Zumbiihl & Co., Zug in Switzerland (EGS).
