   amending Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China, as extended to imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from, inter alia, the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   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 (1) (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 11(3) and 13(4) thereof,
   Whereas:
   A.   MEASURES IN FORCE

               (1)

               By Council Regulation (EC) No 1796/1999 (2), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China. These measures were maintained by Council Regulation (EC) No 1601/2001 (3) and by Council Regulation (EC) No 1858/2005 (4).

               (2)

               By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 400/2010 (5), the Council extended the anti-dumping duty on imports of steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic in China to imports of the same product consigned from the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not, following an anti-circumvention investigation under Article 13 of the basic Regulation. By the same Regulation, certain Korean exporting producers were exempted from these extended measures.

               (3)

               The measures currently in force are an anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012 (6) on imports of steel ropes and cables originating, inter alia, in the People's Republic of China as extended, inter alia, to imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not following an expiry review under Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, as last amended by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 489/2014 (7) (‘the measures in force’).

         B.   PROCEDURE

   1.   Initiation

               (4)

               The Commission received a request for a partial interim review under Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation. The request was lodged by Goodwire MFG. Co. Ltd (‘Goodwire’), a producer in the Republic of Korea, and is limited in scope to the examination of the possibility of granting an exemption to Goodwire from the measures in force under Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation.

               (5)

               Having examined the evidence submitted by Goodwire and after consultation of the Member States, and after the Union industry had been given the opportunity to comment, the Commission initiated the investigation on 27 August 2013 by publishing a notice of initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union
                   (8).

         2.   Product under review

               (6)

               The product subject to the review is steel ropes and cables, including locked coil ropes, excluding ropes and cables of stainless steel, with a maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeding 3 mm, originating in the People's Republic of China or consigned from the Republic of Korea, whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not (‘the product under review’), currently falling within CN codes ex 7312 10 81, ex 7312 10 83, ex 7312 10 85, ex 7312 10 89 and ex 7312 10 98 (TARIC codes 7312108113, 7312108313, 7312108513, 7312108913 and 7312109813).

         3.   Reporting period

               (7)

               The reporting period covered the period from 1 July 2012 to 30 June 2013. Data was collected from 2008 until the end of the reporting period to investigate any change in the pattern of trade.

         4.   Investigation

               (8)

               The Commission officially advised Goodwire and the representatives of the Republic of Korea of the initiation of the review. Interested parties were invited to make their views known and were informed of the possibility to request a hearing. No such request was received.

               (9)

               The Commission sent a questionnaire to Goodwire and received a reply within the given deadline. The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for the purposes of the review. A verification visit was carried out at the premises of Goodwire.

         C.   FINDINGS

               (10)

               The investigation has confirmed that Goodwire is a genuine producer of the product under review and that it was not related to any Chinese exporters or producers subject to the anti-dumping measures in force. The investigation further confirmed that Goodwire had not exported the product under review to the Union during the investigation period of the anti-circumvention investigation that led to the extended measures, that is 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009.

               (11)

               The processing activities of Goodwire can be considered as a completion and/or assembly operation in the sense of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Goodwire purchases domestically produced steel wire rod but also imports steel wire rod from the People's Republic of China, which are subsequently drawn, stranded and closed at its premises in the Republic of Korea. The finished product is sold domestically and exported to the United States and to the Union.

               (12)

               During the investigation it was established that the proportion of Chinese raw materials was significantly below the threshold of 60 %. Hence, it was not necessary to establish whether the 25 % threshold of value added was reached within the meaning of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation. Therefore, Goodwire's production activities were not found to involve circumvention under Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.

               (13)

               The investigation confirmed that Goodwire was not purchasing the finished product under review from the People's Republic of China in order to resell or tranship to the Union and that the company can justify all its exports during the reporting period.

               (14)

               In light of the findings described in recitals (10) to (13), the Commission concludes that Goodwire is not circumventing the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of steel ropes and cables originating in, inter alia, the People's Republic of China as extended, inter alia, to imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea whether declared as originating in the Republic of Korea or not.

               (15)

               The findings above were disclosed to Goodwire and the Union industry, which were given the opportunity to provide comments. Comments received were taken into account where appropriate.

         D.   MODIFICATION OF THE LIST OF COMPANIES BENEFITTING FROM AN EXEMPTION TO THE MEASURES IN FORCE

               (16)

               In accordance with the above findings, the company Goodwire should be added to the list of companies that are exempted from the anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012.

               (17)

               As laid down in Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 400/2010, the application of the exemption is to be conditional upon presentation to the customs authorities of the Member States of a valid commercial invoice, which shall conform to the requirements set out in the Annex to that Regulation. If no such an invoice is presented, the anti-dumping duty should continue to apply.

               (18)

               In addition, the exemption from the extended measures granted to imports of steel ropes and cables produced by Goodwire, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, remains valid on condition that the facts as finally ascertained justify the exemption. Should new prima facie evidence indicate otherwise, an investigation may be initiated by the Commission to establish whether withdrawal of the exemption is warranted.

               (19)

               The exemption from the extended measures granted to imports of steel ropes and cables produced by Goodwire is made on the basis of the findings of the present review. This exemption is thus exclusively applicable to imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea and produced by the abovementioned specific legal entity. Imported steel ropes and cables produced by any company not specifically mentioned in Article 1(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012 with its name, including entities related to those specifically mentioned, should not benefit from the exemption and should be subject to the residual duty rate as imposed by that Regulation.

               (20)

               The partial interim review should be terminated and Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012, as last amended, should be amended to include Goodwire in the table set out in its Article 1(4).

               (21)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

   of 24 June 2016
   amending Annex I to Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 as regards the definition of beam trawl gear groupings in certain geographical areas
   THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
   Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
   Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 of 18 December 2008 establishing a long-term plan for cod stocks and the fisheries exploiting those stocks and repealing Regulation (EC) No 423/2004 (1), and in particular Article 31 thereof,
   Whereas:

               (1)

               Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 provides that fishing effort limits are assigned to effort groups defined by gear groupings and geographical areas as set out in Annex I to that Regulation.

               (2)

               One of the main objectives of the Common Fisheries Policy is to eliminate the wasteful practice of discarding. The landing obligation will gradually enter into force for certain demersal fisheries, currently covered by the fishing effort regime under the Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008, as of 2016 and by 2019 at the latest.

               In light of the implementation of the landing obligation, more flexibility in the current fishing effort regime is needed to enable fishermen to use gears that are more selective and have bigger mesh size. In this context, it seemed necessary to review whether the current structure of effort groupings is still cost-efficient in terms of management burden relative to conservation needs.

               (4)

               As a consequence, the Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) was requested to advise on the possibility to merge the current beam trawl BT1 and BT2 gear groupings used to define effort groups. STECF concludes (2) that there is a risk of increased fishing mortality for cod if gear groupings BT1 and BT2 are merged. It also concludes that the newly merged grouping would be more heterogeneous in terms of biological stocks captured than with separate BT1 and BT2 groupings. It concludes that it is unlikely that cost-efficiency would increase because additional measures would have to be taken to counter a possible increase in fishing mortality of cod. However, STECF also concludes that such a merger would allow fishermen to fish more selectively. A merger of the gear groupings could reduce unwanted catches of plaice and other flatfish species.

               (5)

               STECF also reports that, cumulatively, BT1 and BT2 gear accounts for only 5 % of the overall cod catch in the North Sea and that the potential impacts on cod mortality of such a merger will be limited.

               (6)

               The recent merger of the bottom trawl and seine TR gear groupings by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2324 (3) has had negative consequences for those Member States that regularly transferred effort from BT groupings into the TR2 grouping. A merger of BT groupings will remedy these negative effects.

               (7)

               The merger will significantly reduce management costs by reducing administrative costs for national authorities and fishermen. This is in particular because many fishermen use several gears, and thus belong to several effort groupings, resulting in a need for complex calculations when allocating fishing effort to them.

               (8)

               According to ICES advice (4), the conservation status of the North Sea cod stock in ICES Subarea IV, ICES Division VIId and the Western part of ICES Division IIIa (the Skagerrak) has improved significantly.

               (9)

               It is therefore not appropriate to maintain separate BT1 and BT2 gear groupings in the following areas: the Skagerrak, that part of ICES zone IIIa not covered by the Skagerrak and the Kattegat, ICES zone IV and Union waters of ICES zone IIa, and ICES zone VIId. Given the bad state of the cod stocks in the areas Kattegat, ICES zone VIIa, ICES zone VIa and Union waters of ICES zone Vb, the merger of gear groupings should not apply to these areas.

               (10)

               The Commission will closely monitor the effect of merging gear groupings BT1 and BT2 on the fishing mortality of cod. If appropriate, it will adapt the structure of gear groupings accordingly if fishing mortality of cod increases due to discarding.

               (11)

               To allow Commission and Member States to monitor the evolution of the situation without additional administrative costs it is appropriate not to modify the current reporting system.

               (12)

               Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008 should therefore be amended.

               (13)

               The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee for Fisheries and Aquaculture,

         HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
   Article 1
   In Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 1342/2008, the following point is added:

                  ‘4.

                  By way of derogation from point 1, for the fishing effort management in the area referred to in point 2(b), gear groupings BT1 and BT2 shall be considered as a single gear grouping with a mesh size equal to or larger than 80 mm. Member States shall continue to report effort usage separately for BT1 and BT2 gear groupings as required by Articles 33 and 34 of Regulation (EC) No 1224/2009.’.

   Article 2
   This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 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, 24 June 2016.
