15.9.2010 Official Journal of the European Union L 242/1 (Non-legislative acts) REGULATIONS COUNCIL IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 805/2010 of 13 September 2010 re-imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards originating in the People’s Republic of China, manufactured by Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares and Hardware Co. Ltd, Foshan 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 9 thereof, Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee, Whereas: A. PROCEDURE (1) By Regulation (EC) No 452/2007 (*) (the contested Regulation’), the Council imposed definitive anti- dumping duties ranging from 9,9% to 381% on imports of ironing boards, whether or not free- standing, with or without a steam soaking and/or heating top andfor blowing top, including sleeve boards, and essential parts thereof, i.e. the legs, the top and the iron rest originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC) and Ukraine. (20 On 12 June 2007, one cooperating Chinese exporting producer, namely Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares and Hardware Co. Ltd (Foshan Shunde’), lodged an appli- cation at the General Court (‘the Court of First Instance’ before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty) seeking the annulment of Regulation (EC) No 452/2007 in so far as it applies to the appellant (%). (3)  On 29 January 2008, the General Court rejected the application of Foshan Shunde. () OJ L 343, 22.12.2009, p. 51. () OJ L 109, 26.4.2007, p. 12. (}) Case T-206/07 Foshan Shunde Yongjian Housewares and Hardware v Council. 4 On 3 April 2008, Foshan Shunde lodged an appeal at the Court of Justice asking it to set aside the judgment of the General Court and seeking the annulment of Regulation (EC) No 452/2007 in so far as it concerns the appellant. (5)  On 1 October 2009, the Court of Justice in its judgment in case C-141/08 P (‘the Court of Justice judgment) set aside the previous judgment of the General Court of 29 January 2008. By its judgment the Court of Justice found that Foshan Shunde’s rights of defence were adversely affected by the infringement of Article 20(5) of the basic Regulation. Therefore, the Court of Justice annulled the contested Regulation in so far as it imposes an anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards manufactured by Foshan Shunde. (6)  The General Court in case T-2/95 () (the ‘IPS case) has recognised that, in cases where a proceeding consists of several administrative steps, the annulment of one of those steps does not annul the complete proceeding. The anti-dumping proceeding is an example of such a multi-step proceeding. Consequently, the annulment of the contested Regulation in relation to one party does not imply the annulment of the entire procedure prior to the adoption of that Regulation. Moreover, according to Article 266 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Union institutions are obliged to comply with the Court of Justice judgment of 1 October 2009. This also implies the possibility to remedy the aspects of the contested Regulation which led to its annulment, while leaving unchanged the uncon- tested parts which are not affected by the Court of Justice judgment — as was held in case C-458/98 P (%) (‘the IPS appeal case). It should be noted that apart from the finding of an infringement of Article 20(5) of the basic Regulation, all other findings made in the contested Regulation remain automatically valid to the extent that the Court of Justice rejected all claims made in this respect.
