            COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/1211
      of 20 July 2016
      concerning the classification of certain goods in the Combined Nomenclature
      THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
      Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
      Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 October 2013 laying down the Union Customs Code (1), and in particular Articles 57(4) and 58(2) thereof,
      Whereas:

                  (1)

                  In order to ensure uniform application of the Combined Nomenclature annexed to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (2), it is necessary to adopt measures concerning the classification of the goods referred to in the Annex to this Regulation.

                  (2)

                  Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 has laid down the general rules for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature. Those rules apply also to any other nomenclature which is wholly or partly based on it or which adds any additional subdivision to it and which is established by specific provisions of the Union, with a view to the application of tariff and other measures relating to trade in goods.

                  (3)

                  Pursuant to those general rules, the goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex should be classified under the CN code indicated in column (2), by virtue of the reasons set out in column (3) of that table.

                  (4)

                  It is appropriate to provide that binding tariff information issued in respect of the goods concerned by this Regulation which does not conform to this Regulation may, for a certain period, continue to be invoked by the holder in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013. That period should be set at three months.

                  (5)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
      Article 1
      The goods described in column (1) of the table set out in the Annex shall be classified within the Combined Nomenclature under the CN code indicated in column (2) of that table.
      Article 2
      Binding tariff information which does not conform to this Regulation may continue to be invoked in accordance with Article 34(9) of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 for a period of three months from the date of entry into force of this Regulation.
      Article 3
      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.
         Done at Brussels, 20 July 2016.

               For the Commission,

               On behalf of the President,

            Stephen QUEST

               Director-General for Taxation and Customs Union

         (1)  OJ L 269, 10.10.2013, p. 1.

         (2)  Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff (OJ L 256, 7.9.1987, p. 1).

         ANNEX

                     Description of the goods

                     Classification
                     (CN-code)

                     Reasons

                     (1)

                     (2)

                     (3)

                     An article (so-called ‘hammock with stand’), with dimensions of approximately 380 × 120 × 140 cm. The article consists of a wooden stand to be placed on the ground, on which a hammock, measuring 240 × 120 cm, made of cotton fabric, is hung. The narrow ends of the hammock are finished with wooden rods and are provided with cords to be attached to the stand.
                     The article weighs approximately 32 kg and can cater for persons weighing up to 150 kg.

                         (*) See an image.

                     9403 60 90

                     Classification is determined by general rules 1, 3(b) and 6 for the interpretation of the Combined Nomenclature, note 2 to Chapter 94, and by the wording of CN codes 9403 , 9403 60  and 9403 60 90 .
                     Given its characteristics, namely its weight and inability to be easily disassembled, the article cannot be easily transported to be used when going camping. Consequently, classification as camping goods under heading 6306  is excluded.
                     The article is ‘movable’ and given its objective characteristics, it is constructed for placing on the floor or ground. It is used, mainly with a utilitarian purpose, to equip outdoor areas such as gardens of private dwellings, hotels, restaurants etc. (see also the Harmonized System Explanatory Notes to Chapter 94, General, (A)). Consequently, the article is considered to be ‘furniture’ made of different materials and is to be classified under heading 9403  according to the material of which the support (stand) is made and which gives the article its essential character.
                     The article is therefore to be classified under CN code 9403 60 90 , as other wooden furniture.

   amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 405/2011 imposing a definitive countervailing duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain stainless steel bars and rods originating in India
   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 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 19 thereof,
   Having regard to the proposal submitted by the European Commission after consulting the Advisory Committee,
   Whereas:
   1.   PROCEDURE

   1.1.   Previous investigation and existing countervailing measures

               (1)

               In April 2011, by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 405/2011 (2) (‘the definitive Regulation’), the Council imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports of certain stainless steel bars and rods (‘SSB’) currently falling within CN codes 7222 20 21, 7222 20 29, 7222 20 31, 7222 20 39, 7222 20 81 and 7222 20 89 and originating in India. The investigation, which led to the adoption of the definitive Regulation, is hereinafter referred to as ‘the original investigation’.

               (2)

               The definitive measures consisted of ad valorem countervailing duties, ranging between 3,3 % and 4,3 % imposed on imports from individually named exporters, a 4,0 % duty rate imposed on non-sampled cooperating companies and a residual duty rate of 4,3 % imposed on all other companies in India.

         1.2.   Initiation of a partial interim review

               (3)

               A request for a partial interim review was lodged by Viraj Profiles Vpl. Ltd, an exporting producer located in India (‘the applicant’). The request was limited in scope to the examination of subsidisation as far as the applicant was concerned. The applicant had provided prima facie evidence that the circumstances with regard to subsidisation on the basis of which measures were imposed had changed significantly and that those changes were of a lasting nature.

               (4)

               Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission announced on 9 August 2012, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (3) (‘notice of initiation’), the initiation of a partial interim review, in accordance with Article 19 of the basic Regulation, limited to the examination of subsidisation in respect of the applicant.

         1.3.   Review investigation period

               (5)

               The review investigation of subsidisation covered the period from 1 July 2011 to 30 June 2012 (‘the review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).

         1.4.   Parties concerned by the investigation

               (6)

               The Commission officially informed the applicant, the Government of India (‘the GOI’) and Eurofer as the representative of the Union industry in the original investigation (‘the Union industry’), of the initiation of the partial interim review investigation. Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.

               (7)

               The written and oral comments submitted by the parties at the stage of initiation were considered and, where appropriate, taken into account.

               (8)

               In order to obtain the information necessary for its investigation, the Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant. In addition, a questionnaire was sent to the GOI.

               (9)

               Replies to the questionnaire were received from the applicant and from the GOI.

               (10)

               The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the determination of subsidisation. Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the applicant.

         2.   PRODUCT CONCERNED

               (11)

               The product under review is the same product as the one defined in the original investigation, namely stainless steel bars and rods, not further worked than cold-formed or cold finished, other than bars and rods of circular cross-section of a diameter of 80 mm or more, currently falling within CN codes 7222 20 21, 7222 20 29, 7222 20 31, 7222 20 39, 7222 20 81 and 7222 20 89 and originating in India.

         3.   SUBSIDISATION

   3.1.   Introduction

               (12)

               On the basis of the information submitted by the GOI and interested parties and the replies to the Commission’s questionnaire, the following schemes allegedly used by applicant were investigated:

                           (a)

                           Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme (EPCGS);

                           (b)

                           Export Oriented Units Scheme (EOU);

                           (c)

                           Export Credit Scheme (ECS);

               (13)

               Schemes (a) and (b) are based on the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992 (No 22 of 1992) which entered into force on 7 August 1992 (‘Foreign Trade Act’). The Foreign Trade Act authorises the GOI to issue notifications regarding the export and import policy. These are summarised in a document called ‘Foreign Trade Policy’ documents, issued by the Ministry of Commerce every five years and updated regularly. The Foreign Trade Policy document relevant to the RIP is the ‘Foreign Trade Policy 2009-2014’ (‘FTP 09-14’). In addition, the GOI also sets out the procedures governing the FTP 09-14 in a ‘Handbook of Procedures, Volume I’ (‘HOP I 09-14’), which is updated on a regular basis.

               (14)

               The ECS scheme specified under (c) is based on sections 21 and 35A of the Banking Regulation Act 1949, which allows the Reserve Bank of India to direct commercial banks in the field of export credits.

               (15)

               Furthermore, following the allegation of the Union industry, the Commission investigated whether the applicant:

                           (a)

                           was benefiting from the Electricity Duty Exemption Scheme (EDES);

                           (b)

                           was using local subsidy programmes of the State of Maharashtra;

                           (c)

                           was benefiting from provisions of inputs for less than adequate remuneration;

                           (d)

                           was benefiting from incentives related to power generation and distribution;

                           (e)

                           was benefiting from purchases of cheap raw materials from related off-shore companies.

               (16)

               Finally, the Commission verified that the following schemes investigated in the original investigation:

                           (a)

                           Duty Entitlement Passbook Scheme (DEPBS);

                           (b)

                           Advanced Authorization Scheme (AAS);

                     are still not being used by the applicant.

         3.2.   Findings

   3.2.1.   Export Promotion Capital Goods Scheme

               (17)

               The investigation revealed that the applicant used this scheme during the RIP. However, it was found that the incentives received were insignificant at 0,02 %. Therefore, it was considered that it was not necessary to further evaluate the countervailability of this scheme.

         3.2.2.   Export Oriented Unit Scheme

               (18)

               It was found that the applicant had the status of EOU and received the subsidies under this scheme in the RIP.

               (19)

               With regard to this scheme the company claimed that the Commission should deviate from the method of calculation of the benefit received under EOU used in the original investigation. The company argued that certain benefits under the EOU scheme should be treated as a permissible duty drawback scheme within the meaning of Annexes II and III of the basic Regulation and therefore they should not be countervailable.

               (20)

               However, since it was found that regardless of which method of calculation would be used, the subsidy rate established with respect to this scheme would not exceed 0,22 %, leading to an overall subsidy margin below de minimis level, it was decided not to analyse further this claim in the context of this review investigation.

         3.2.3.   Export Credits Scheme

               (21)

               It was found that the applicant was not using this scheme in the RIP.

         3.2.4.   Electricity Duty Exemption Scheme

               (22)

               The investigation revealed that the applicant used this scheme during the RIP. However, it was found that the incentives received were insignificant. Therefore, it was considered that it was not necessary to further evaluate the countervailability of this scheme.

         3.2.5.   Local Subsidy Programs of the State of Maharashtra

               (23)

               It was found that the applicant was not using this scheme in the RIP.

         3.2.6.   Others

               (24)

               The investigation did not reveal any other benefits for the applicant in the RIP related to the terms of raw materials and energy purchases which would involve a financial contribution of the GOI and could therefore be treated as subsidies within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(ii) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation. Therefore, the allegations of the Union industry listed in the recital (15) points (c)-(e) were found irrelevant in the context of this review.

         4.   AMOUNT OF COUNTERVAILABLE SUBSIDIES

               (25)

               It is recalled that the original investigation established the amount of countervailable subsidies for the applicant, expressed ad valorem, at 4,3 %.

               (26)

               During the RIP, the amount of countervailable subsidies for the applicant, expressed ad valorem, resulting from only one subsidy scheme, was found to be 0,22 %.

               (27)

               Account taken of the above, it is concluded that the level of subsidisation with regard to the applicant exporting producer concerned has decreased.

               (28)

               It was also examined whether the changed circumstances with regard to the examined schemes could be considered to be of a lasting nature.

               (29)

               As mentioned above, the findings with regard to the EPCGS scheme during this interim review confirmed the findings of the original investigation where the subsidy granted under this scheme was found to be insignificant.

               (30)

               Moreover, while in the original investigation the main benefit to the applicant was conferred under the EOU scheme, the benefit under this scheme has dropped during the RIP. Evidence has been obtained that this change is of a lasting nature as it relates to the decreased level of customs tariffs on stainless steel scrap and ferro-nickel, two main raw materials used by the applicant for the production of the product concerned.

         5.   COUNTERVAILING MEASURES

               (31)

               On the basis of the above there are indications that the applicant will continue to receive subsidies in the future of an amount which is below the de minimis level. Hence, it is considered appropriate to amend the countervailing duty rate applicable to the applicant in order to reflect the current level of subsidisation. Such duty rate should be established at 0 % for the applicant.

               (32)

               With regard to the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from exporting producers listed in the Annex to the definitive Regulation, it is noted that the current detailed arrangements of the investigated schemes and their countervailability have not changed with respect to the previous investigation. Thus there is no reason to re-calculate the subsidy and duty rates of these companies. Consequently, the rates of the duty applicable to the companies listed in the Annex to the definitive Regulation remain unchanged.

               (33)

               With regard to all other companies’ duty rate, it is noted that in the original investigation its level was set at the level of the highest individual subsidy margin found for the sampled companies. That corresponded to the subsidy margin of the applicant. Given that the margin of the applicant has changed following this interim review, the all-other-companies rate should be revised and set at the next highest subsidy margin. Since the next highest rate is the one applicable to the companies listed in the Annex, the rate of duty for all other companies should be set at that level, i.e. 4 %.

         6.   DISCLOSURE

               (34)

               The GOI and the other interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations upon which it was intended to propose to amend the duty rate applicable to the applicant.

               (35)

               The written and oral comments submitted by the parties were considered and, where appropriate, taken into account.

               (36)

               All interested parties, who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted a hearing,

                  (1)

                  By Decision (EU) 2016/837 (2), the Council authorised the signing, on behalf of the European Union, and provisional application of the Agreement between the European Union, Iceland, the Principality of Liechtenstein and the Kingdom of Norway on an EEA Financial Mechanism 2014-2021, the Agreement between the Kingdom of Norway and the European Union on a Norwegian Financial Mechanism for the period 2014-2021, the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway and the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and Iceland.

                  (2)

                  The text of the Additional Protocol to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway (‘the Additional Protocol’) which is attached to Decision (EU) 2016/837 provides for the renewal of seven duty-free tariff quotas that ended on 30 April 2014 and for three new duty-free tariff quotas for release for free circulation in the European Union of certain fish and fishery products originating in Norway.

                  (3)

                  In accordance with the Additional Protocol, the volumes of the tariff quotas covering the period from 1 May 2014 until the date on which the provisional application of the Additional Protocol becomes effective shall be proportionally allocated and made available for the period from the date of provisional application of the Additional Protocol until 30 April 2021.

                  (4)

                  It is necessary to amend Regulation (EC) No 992/95 in order to implement the tariff quotas laid down in the Additional Protocol.

                  (5)

                  The tariff quotas should apply from the date on which the provisional application of the Additional Protocol becomes effective until 30 April 2021. This Regulation should therefore apply from the date of provisional application of the Additional Protocol laid down in Article 3 of Decision (EU) 2016/837.

                  (6)

                  Regulation (EU) No 1379/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3) repealed Council Regulation (EC) No 104/2000 (4) and ended the system of reference prices for fishery products. It is therefore necessary to delete the condition laid down in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 992/95 on respecting reference prices.

                  (7)

                  Protocol 3 to the Agreement between the European Economic Community and the Kingdom of Norway defining the concept of originating products and setting out the methods of administrative cooperation has been amended by Decision No 1/2016 of the EU-Norway Joint Committee of 8 February 2016 (5). It is therefore necessary to provide that Protocol 3 as amended is to apply.

                  (8)

                  Tariff quotas under order numbers 09.0760, 09.0763 and 09.0778 applied in accordance with the Annex to Council Regulation (EC) No 1920/2004 (6) from 2005 to 2009. It is therefore necessary to delete Article 2a of Regulation (EC) No 992/95 referring to those tariff quotas.

                  (9)

                  Rules on the management of tariff quotas are laid down in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447 (7) replacing Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (8) from 1 May 2016. Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 992/95 should be amended to take account of the new rules.

                  (10)

                  The Annex to Regulation (EC) No 992/95 should be amended in order to take account of amendments of the Combined Nomenclature codes (‘CN codes’) laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (9), and of the Taric subdivisions. For reasons of clarity it is appropriate to replace the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 992/95 in its entirety.

                  (11)

                  The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Customs Code Committee,

            HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
