         COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2021/1209
         of 22 July 2021
         initiating ‘new exporter’ reviews of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2230 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of trichloroisocyanuric acid originating in the People’s Republic of China for three Chinese exporting producers, repealing the duty with regard to imports from these exporting producers and making these 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 11(4) and 14(5) thereof,
         After having informed the Member States,
         Whereas:
         1.   REQUEST

                     (1)

                     The Commission received three requests for a ‘new exporter’ review under Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation.

                     (2)

                     The requests were lodged by Hebei Xingfei Chemical Co., Ltd on 13 July 2020, by Inner Mongolia Likang Bio-Tech Co., Ltd (Likang) on 29 July 2019 and updated on 12 February 2021, and by Shandong Lantian Disinfection Technology Co., Ltd on 13 April 2021 (‘the applicants’), exporting producers of trichloroisocyanuric in the People’s Republic of China (‘the PRC’).

               2.   PRODUCT UNDER REVIEW

                     (3)

                     The product under review is trichloroisocyanuric acid and preparations thereof, also referred to as ‘symclosene’ under the international non-proprietary name (INN), currently falling under CN codes ex 2933 69 80 and ex 3808 94 20 (TARIC codes 2933698070 and 3808942020) and originating in the PRC.

               3.   EXISTING MEASURES

                     (4)

                     The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2230 (2) under which imports of the product under review originating in the PRC, including the product produced by the applicant, are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty of 42,6 % with the exception of several companies specifically mentioned in Article 1(2) of that Regulation which are subject to individual duty rates.

               4.   GROUNDS FOR THE REVIEWS

                     (5)

                     The applicants provided sufficient evidence that they did not export the product under review to the Union during the investigation period on which the anti-dumping measures were originally based (1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004).

                     (6)

                     The applicants provided sufficient evidence that they are not related to any of the exporting producer of the product under review which are subject to the anti-dumping duties in force.

                     (7)

                     Finally, the applicants provided sufficient evidence that they have begun exporting the product under review to the Union after the end of the original investigation period.

               5.   PROCEDURE

         5.1.   Initiation

                     (8)

                     The Commission examined the evidence available and concluded that there was sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, with a view to determining an individual margin of dumping for each of the applicants. Should dumping be found, the Commission will determine the level of the duty to which the imports of the product under review produced by each of the applicants should be subject.

                     (9)

                     In accordance with Articles 11(3) and 11(4) of the basic Regulation, normal value for the applicants shall be determined following the methodology laid down in Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation as it was in force on 19 December 2017 as the latest expiry review of the measures was initiated before 20 December 2017.

                     (10)

                     Union producers known to be concerned were informed of the request for a review on 8 April 2021 and were given an opportunity to comment until 23 April 2021.

                     (11)

                     The Commission also draws the attention of the parties that further to the COVID-19 outbreak a Notice (3) has been published on the consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak on anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations that may be applicable to this proceeding.

               5.2.   Repeal of the existing measures and registration of imports

                     (12)

                     Pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty in force should be repealed with regard to imports of the product under review produced by the applicants. At the same time, such imports should be made subject to registration in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation, in order to ensure that anti-dumping duties can be levied from the date of the registration of these imports should the review result in a finding of dumping in respect of each of the applicants. Furthermore, the Commission notes that it is not possible, at this stage, to provide a reliable estimate of the amount of possible future liability, without prejudice to Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation.

               5.3.   Review investigation period

                     (13)

                     In view of the small number of transactions on file and in order to make representative findings, the investigation will cover the period from 1 January 2019 to 30 June 2021 (‘review investigation period’).

               5.4.   Investigating the applicants

                     (14)

                     In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission has made a questionnaire for the applicants available in the file for inspection by interested parties and on the website of the Directorate-General for Trade https://trade.ec.europa.eu/tdi/. The applicants must submit the completed questionnaire within the time limit specified in Article 4(2) of this Regulation.

               5.5.   Other written submissions

                     (15)

                     Subject to the provisions of this Regulation, all interested parties are invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence. Unless otherwise specified, this information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within the time-limit specified in Article 4(2) of this Regulation.

               5.6.   Possibility to be heard by the Commission investigation services

                     (16)

                     All interested parties may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services within the time-limits specified in Article 4(3) of this Regulation. Any request to be heard must be made in writing and must specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initiation stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of entry into force of this Regulation. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within the specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

               5.7.   Instructions for making written submissions and sending completed questionnaires and correspondence

                     (17)

                     (18)

                     All written submissions, including the information requested in this Regulation, completed questionnaires and correspondence provided by interested parties for which confidential treatment is requested shall be labelled ‘Sensitive’ (4).

                     (20)

                     If a party providing confidential information fails to show good cause for a confidential treatment request or does not furnish a non-confidential summary of it in the requested format and quality, the Commission may disregard such information unless it can be satisfactorily demonstrated from appropriate sources that the information is correct.

                     (25)

                     If 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 on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

                     (26)

                     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 in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

                     (27)

                     If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on 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.

               7.   HEARING OFFICER

                     (28)

                     (29)

                     The Hearing Officer may organise hearings and mediate between the interested party/-ies and Commissions services to ensure that the interested parties’ rights of defence are being fully exercised. 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 examine the reasons for the requests. These hearings should only take place if the issues have not been settled with the Commission services in the due course.

                     (30)

                     Any request must be submitted in good time and expeditiously so as not to jeopardise the orderly conduct of proceedings. To that effect, interested parties should request the intervention of the Hearing Officer at the earliest possible time following the occurrence of the event justifying such intervention. Where hearing requests are submitted outside the relevant timeframes, the Hearing Officer will also examine the reasons for such late requests, the nature of the issues raised and the impact of those issues on the rights of defence, having due regard to the interests of good administration and the timely completion of the investigation..

                     (31)

                           Date of birth: 22 June 1951
                           Place of birth: Managua, Nicaragua

                           Vice President of Nicaragua, First Lady of Nicaragua and a leader of the Sandinista Youth. According to President Daniel Ortega, Rosario María Murillo Zambrana shares half of power with him. She played an instrumental role in encouraging and justifying the repression of opposition demonstrations by the Nicaraguan National Police in 2018. In June 2021, she publicly threatened the Nicaraguan opposition and discredited independent journalists.
                           She is therefore responsible for serious human rights violations, for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition, and for undermining democracy in Nicaragua.

                           He is therefore responsible for the repression of civil society and democratic opposition, as well as for seriously undermining democracy and the rule of law in Nicaragua.
