         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1348
   of 19 July 2017
   initiating an investigation concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011, as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013, on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China by imports consigned from Vietnam, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, and making such imports subject to registration
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (1) (‘the basic Regulation’) and in particular Articles 13(3) and 14(5) thereof,
   After having informed the Member States,
   Whereas:
   A.   REQUEST

               (1)

               The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China by imports consigned from Vietnam, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, and to make such imports subject to registration.

               (2)

               The request was lodged on 6 June 2017 by PR Industrial SRL and Toyota Material Handling Europe (‘the applicants’), Union producers of hand pallet trucks.

         B.   PRODUCT

               (3)

               The product concerned by the possible circumvention is hand pallet trucks and their essential parts, i.e. chassis and hydraulics, originating in the People's Republic of China, currently falling within CN codes ex 8427 90 00 and ex 8431 20 00 (TARIC codes 8427900019 and 8431200019). For the purpose of this Regulation, hand pallet trucks shall be trucks with wheels supporting lifting fork arms for handling pallets, designed to be manually pushed, pulled and steered, on smooth, level, hard surfaces, by a pedestrian operator using an articulated tiller. The hand pallet trucks are only designed to raise a load, by pumping the tiller, to a height sufficient for transporting and do not have any other additional functions or uses such as for example (i) to move and to lift the loads in order to place them higher or assist in storage of loads (highlifters); (ii) to stack one pallet above the other (stackers); (iii) to lift the load to a working level (scissorlifts); or (iv) to lift and to weigh the loads (weighing trucks) (‘the product concerned’).

               (4)

               The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but consigned from Vietnam, whether declared as originating in Vietnam or not, currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned (‘the product under investigation’).

         C.   EXISTING MEASURES

               (5)

               The measures currently in force and possibly being circumvented are anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 (2) on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China, as amended by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013 (3) (‘the existing measures’).

         D.   GROUNDS

               (6)

               The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures imposed on the product concerned are being circumvented by imports of the product under investigation consigned from Vietnam.

               (7)

               The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows.

               (8)

               The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China and Vietnam to the Union has taken place following the increase of the definitive anti-dumping duty on the product concerned by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013, without sufficient due cause or economic justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.

               (9)

               This change appears to stem from the consignment of the product concerned via Vietnam to the Union after having undergone assembly operations in Vietnam. The applicants have provided sufficient prima facie evidence showing that such assembly operations constitute circumvention as Chinese parts constitute above 60 % of the total value of the assembled product and the value added during the assembly operation is lower than 25 % of the manufacturing cost.

               (10)

               Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient prima facie evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.

               (11)

               Finally, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.

               (12)

               Should circumvention practices via Vietnam covered by Article 13 of the basic Regulation, other than assembly operations, be identified in the course of the investigation, the investigation may also cover these practices.

         E.   PROCEDURE

               (13)

               In light of the above, the Commission has concluded that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation and to make imports of the products under investigation subject to registration, in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation.

         (a)   Questionnaires

               (14)

               In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the known exporters/producers in Vietnam and to the known associations of exporters/producers in Vietnam, to the known importers and to the known associations of importers in the Union and to the authorities of Vietnam and the People's Republic of China. Information, as appropriate, may also be sought from the Union industry.

               (15)

               In any event, all interested parties should contact the Commission, but not later than the time limit set in Article 3 of this Regulation, and request a questionnaire within the time limit set in Article 3(1) of this Regulation, given that the time limit set in Article 3(2) of this Regulation applies to all interested parties.

               (16)

               The authorities of Vietnam and the People's Republic of China will be notified of the initiation of the investigation.

         (b)   Collection of information and holding of hearings

               (17)

               All interested parties are invited to make their views known in writing and to provide supporting evidence. Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request in writing and show that there are particular reasons why they should be heard.

         (c)   Exemption from registration of imports or measures

               (18)

               In accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, imports of the products under investigation may be exempted from registration or measures if the importation does not constitute circumvention.

               (19)

               Since the possible circumvention takes place outside the Union, exemptions may be granted, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, to producers of the products under investigation in Vietnam that can show that they are not related (4) to any producer subject to the measures (5) and that are found not to be engaged in circumvention practices as defined in Articles 13(1) and 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Producers wishing to obtain an exemption should submit a request duly supported by evidence within the time limit indicated in Article 3(3) of this Regulation.

         F.   REGISTRATION

               (20)

               Pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, imports of the product under investigation shall be made subject to registration in order to ensure that, should the investigation result in findings of circumvention, anti-dumping duties of an appropriate amount can be levied from the date on which registration of such imports was imposed.

         G.   TIME LIMITS

               (21)

               In the interest of sound administration, time limits should be stated within which:

                           —

                           interested parties may make themselves known to the Commission, present their views in writing and submit questionnaire replies or any other information to be taken into account during the investigation,

                           —

                           producers in Vietnam may request exemption from registration of imports or measures,

                           —

                           interested parties may make a written request to be heard by the Commission.

               (22)

               Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the time limits laid down in Article 3 of this Regulation.

         H.   NON-COOPERATION

               (23)

               In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.

               (24)

               Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

               (25)

               If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

               (26)

               Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. The interested party should immediately contact the Commission.

         I.   SCHEDULE OF THE INVESTIGATION

               (27)

               The investigation will be concluded, pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, within 9 months of the date the date of entry into force of this Regulation.

         J.   PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

               (28)

               It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6).

         K.   HEARING OFFICER

               (29)

               Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised.

               (30)

               A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered.

               (31)

               For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on the Directorate-General for Trade's website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/trade-policy-and-you/contacts/hearing-officer/

      (1)  OJ L 176, 30.6.2016, p. 21.

      (2)  Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 of 10 October 2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China as extended to imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts consigned from Thailand, whether declared as originating in Thailand or not, following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (OJ L 150, 16.6.2010, p. 17).

      (3)  Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 372/2013 of 22 April 2013 amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China following a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (OJ L 112, 24.4.2013, p. 1).

      (4)  In accordance with Article 127 of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 of 24 November 2015 laying down detailed rules for implementing certain provisions of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council laying down the Union Customs Code (OJ L 343, 29.12.2015, p. 558) two persons shall be deemed to be related if: (a) they are officers or directors of the other person's business; (b) they are legally recognised partners in business; (c) they are employer and employee; (d) a third party directly or indirectly owns, controls or holds 5 % or more of the outstanding voting stock or shares of both of them; (e) one of them directly or indirectly controls the other; (f) both of them are directly or indirectly controlled by a third person; (g) together they control a third person directly or indirectly; or (h) they are members of the same family. Persons shall be deemed to be members of the same family only if they stand in any of the following relationships to one another: (i) husband and wife, (ii) parent and child, (iii) brother and sister (whether by whole or half blood), (iv) grandparent and grandchild, (v) uncle or aunt and nephew or niece, (vi) parent-in-law and son-in-law or daughter-in-law, (vii) brother-in-law and sister-in-law. In this context ‘person’ means any natural or legal person.

      (5)  However, even if producers are related in the aforementioned sense to companies subject to the measures in place on imports originating in the People's Republic of China, an exemption may still be granted if there is no evidence that the relationship with the companies subject to the original measures was established or used to circumvent the original measures.

      (6)  Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (OJ L 8, 12.1.2001, p. 1).

      (7)  A ‘Limited’ document is a document which is considered confidential pursuant to Article 19 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 and Article 6 of the WTO Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the GATT 1994 (Anti-Dumping Agreement). It is also a document protected pursuant to Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 1049/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council (OJ L 145, 31.5.2001, p. 43).

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 321/2012
   of 13 April 2012
   fixing the import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 16 April 2012
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (Single CMO Regulation) (1),
   Having regard to Commission Regulation (EU) No 642/2010 of 20 July 2010 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 in respect of import duties in the cereals sector (2), and in particular Article 2(1) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 states that the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question. However, that duty may not exceed the rate of duty in the Common Customs Tariff.

               (2)

               Article 136(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 lays down that, in order to calculate the import duty referred to in paragraph 1 of that Article, representative cif import prices are to be established on a regular basis for the products in question.

               (3)

               Under Article 2(2) of Regulation (EU) No 642/2010, the price to be used for the calculation of the import duty on products covered by CN codes 1001 19 00, 1001 11 00, ex 1001 91 20 (common wheat seed), ex 1001 99 00 (high quality common wheat other than for sowing), 1002 10 00, 1002 90 00, 1005 10 90, 1005 90 00, 1007 10 90 and 1007 90 00 is the daily cif representative import price determined as specified in Article 5 of that Regulation.

               (4)

               Import duties should be fixed for the period from 16 April 2012 and should apply until new import duties are fixed and enter into force.

               (5)

               Given the need to ensure that this measure applies as soon as possible after the updated data have been made available, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   From 16 April 2012, the import duties in the cereals sector referred to in Article 136(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be those fixed in Annex I to this Regulation on the basis of the information contained in Annex II.
   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

title: Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 614/2011 of 23 June 2011 fixing the export refunds on beef and veal

               Official Journal of the European Union

               L 164/8

         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) No 614/2011
   of 23 June 2011
   fixing the export refunds on beef and veal
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 of 22 October 2007 establishing a common organisation of agricultural markets and on specific provisions for certain agricultural products (1), and in particular Article 164(2), and Article 170, in conjunction with Article 4 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Article 162(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the difference between prices on the world market for the products listed in Part XV of Annex I to that Regulation and prices for those products on the Union market may be covered by an export refund.

               (2)

               Given the present situation on the market in beef and veal, export refunds should therefore be set in accordance with the rules and criteria provided for in Articles 162, 163, 164, 167, 168 and 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007.

               (3)

               Article 164(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 provides that the refund may vary according to destination, especially where the world market situation, the specific requirements of certain markets, or obligations resulting from agreements concluded in accordance with Article 300 of the Treaty make this necessary.

               (4)

               Refunds should be granted only on products that are allowed to move freely in the Union and that bear the health mark as provided for in Article 5(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific hygiene rules for food of animal origin (2). Those products must also satisfy the requirements laid down in Regulation (EC) No 852/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 on the hygiene of foodstuffs (3) and Regulation (EC) No 854/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 29 April 2004 laying down specific rules for the organisation of official controls on products of animal origin intended for human consumption (4).

               (5)

               The third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007 of 21 November 2007 laying down the conditions for granting special export refunds on certain cuts of boned meat of bovine animals (5) provides for a reduction of the special refund if the quantity of cuts of boned meat to be exported amounts to less than 95 %, but not less than 85 %, of the total weight of cuts produced by boning.

               (6)

               The currently applicable refunds have been fixed by Commission Regulation (EU) No 265/2011 (6). Since new refunds should be fixed, that Regulation should therefore be repealed.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   1.   Export refunds as provided for in Article 164 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be granted on the products and for the amounts set out in the Annex to this Regulation subject to the conditions provided for in paragraph 2 of this Article.
   2.   The products eligible for a refund under paragraph 1 shall meet the relevant requirements of Regulations (EC) No 852/2004 and (EC) No 853/2004, and, in particular, shall be prepared in an approved establishment and comply with the health marking requirements laid down in Annex I, Section I, Chapter III to Regulation (EC) No 854/2004.
   Article 2
   In the case referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 7(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1359/2007, the rate of the refund on products falling within product code 0201 30 00 9100 shall be reduced by EUR 3,5/100 kg.
   Article 3
   Regulation (EU) No 265/2011 is hereby repealed.
   Article 4
   This Regulation shall enter into force on 24 June 2011.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

   on the indicative compendium of environmental goods and services, the format for data transmission for European environmental economic accounts and modalities, structure and periodicity of the quality reports pursuant to Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council on European environmental economic accounts
   (Text with EEA relevance)
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 6 July 2011 on European environmental economic accounts (1), and in particular Articles 3(5), 6(2) and 7(3) thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               The European environmental economic accounts as established in Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 have a modular structure, and in particular there is a module for environmental goods and services sector accounts in Annex V.

               (2)

               The Commission should establish an indicative compendium of environmental goods and services and of the economic activities to be covered by Annex V by 31 December 2015.

               (3)

               In accordance to Article 6 of Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 Member States should transmit the statistical data in electronic form, in conformity with an appropriate technical format to be laid down by the Commission. The Statistical Data and Metadata Exchange (SDMX) initiative on statistical and technical standards for the exchange and sharing of data and metadata was launched by the Bank of International Settlements, the European Central Bank, the Commission (Eurostat), the International Monetary Fund, the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), the United Nations and the World Bank. For the exchange of official statistics, SDMX provides statistical and technical standards. A technical format in accordance with these standards should therefore be introduced. Guidance on how to implement these formats in accordance with the requirements of this Regulation should be given to Member States. These guidelines should be established by the Commission (Eurostat) in close cooperation with Member States within the European Statistical System.

               (4)

               Applying a single standard for the exchange and transmission of data for the statistics covered by Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 would make a positive contribution to business process integration in this statistical area.

               (5)

               In accordance to Article 7(2) of Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 Member States should provide the Commission (Eurostat) with a report on the quality of the data transmitted.

               (6)

               In accordance to Article 7(3) of Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 the Commission should adopt implementing acts with a view to defining the modalities, structure and periodicity of the quality reports.

               (7)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the European Statistical System Committee,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   Indicative compendium of environmental goods and services and of economic activities
   The indicative compendium of environmental goods and services and of economic activities is established as set out in the Annex.
   Article 2
   Technical format for data transmissions
   Member States shall provide data required by the Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 using SDMX compliant data formats. The Commission (Eurostat) shall make available detailed documentation in relation to these formats.
   Article 3
   Modalities, structure and periodicity of the quality reports
   1.   Every year Member States shall provide the Commission (Eurostat) with reports on the quality of the data transmitted under Regulation (EU) No 691/2011 with the same transmission deadlines as stipulated in Annexes I to VI, section 4 of that Regulation.
   2.   The quality reports shall include the following information:

               (a)

               the quality of sources used for data transmitted under Regulation (EU) No 691/2011;

               (b)

               the adjustments made to basic statistics to make the result align to the concepts and definitions of the accounts or for other methodological reasons;

               (c)

               the estimation and compilation of data which cannot be derived directly from statistical sources;

               (d)

               the breaks in time series resulting from changes in methodology or data sources and the steps taken to ensure time series are as comparable as possible.

         Article 4
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the twentieth day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

      This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

      ANNEX
      In order to facilitate a uniform application of Annex V to Regulation (EU) No 691/2011, this Annex establishes an indicative compendium of environmental goods and services and of economic activities. The compendium consists of a list of environmental goods and services and a list of economic activities.
