COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/115
of 28 January 2016
withdrawing the acceptance of the undertaking for one exporting producer under Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU confirming the acceptance of an undertaking offered in connection with the anti-dumping and anti-subsidy proceedings concerning imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China for the period of application of definitive measures
THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘the Treaty’),
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 anti-dumping Regulation’), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
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 (2) (‘the basic anti-subsidy Regulation’), and in particular Article 13 thereof,
Informing the Member States,
Whereas:
A. UNDERTAKING AND OTHER EXISTING MEASURES
|
(1) |
By Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 (3), the European Commission (‘the Commission’) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the European Union (‘the Union’) of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules (‘modules’) and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China (‘the PRC’). |
|
(2) |
A group of exporting producers gave a mandate to the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (‘CCCME’) to submit a price undertaking on their behalf to the Commission, which they did. It is clear from the terms of that price undertaking that it constitutes a bundle of individual price undertakings for each exporting producer, which is, for reasons of practicality of administration, coordinated by the CCCME. |
|
(3) |
By Decision 2013/423/EU (4), the Commission accepted that price undertaking with regard to the provisional anti-dumping duty. By Regulation (EU) No 748/2013 (5), the Commission amended Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 to introduce the technical changes necessary due to the acceptance of the undertaking with regard to the provisional anti-dumping duty. |
|
(4) |
By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 (6), the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of modules and cells originating in or consigned from the PRC (‘the products concerned’). By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013 (7), the Council also imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports into the Union of the product concerned. |
|
(5) |
Following the notification of an amended version of the price undertaking by a group of exporting producers (‘the exporting producers’) together with the CCCME, the Commission confirmed by Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU (8) the acceptance of the price undertaking as amended (‘the undertaking’) for the period of application of definitive measures. The Annex to this Decision lists the exporting producers for whom the undertaking was accepted, including Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co. Ltd, Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science & Technology Co. Ltd, Changzhou Youze Technology Co. Ltd, Trina Solar Energy (Shanghai) Co. Ltd and Yancheng Trina Solar Energy Technology Co. Ltd together with their related companies in the European Union, jointly covered by the TARIC additional code: B791 (‘Trina Solar’). |
|
(6) |
By Implementing Decision 2014/657/EU (9) the Commission accepted a proposal by the group of the exporting producers together with the CCCME for clarifications concerning the implementation of the undertaking for the product concerned covered by the undertaking, that is modules and cells originating in or consigned from the PRC, currently falling within CN codes ex 8541 40 90 (TARIC codes 8541409021, 8541409029, 8541409031 and 8541409039) produced by the exporting producers (‘product covered’). The anti-dumping and countervailing duties referred to in recital 4 above, together with the undertaking, are jointly referred to as ‘measures’. |
|
(7) |
By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/866 (10) the Commission withdrew the acceptance of the undertaking for three exporting producers. |
|
(8) |
By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1403 (11) the Commission withdrew the acceptance of the undertaking for another exporting producer. |
|
(9) |
By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2018 (12) the Commission withdrew the acceptance of the undertaking for two exporting producers. |
|
(10) |
The Commission initiated an expiry review investigation under Article 11(2) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation by a Notice of Initiation published in the Official Journal of the European Union (13) on 5 December 2015. |
|
(11) |
The Commission initiated an expiry review investigation under Article 18 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation by a Notice of Initiation published in the Official Journal of the European Union (14) on 5 December 2015. |
|
(12) |
The Commission also initiated a partial interim review under Article 11(3) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 19 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation by a Notice of Initiation published in the Official Journal of the European Union (15) on 5 December 2015. |
B. TERMS OF THE UNDERTAKING AND VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL BY TRINA SOLAR
|
(13) |
As per the undertaking, any exporting producer may voluntarily withdraw its undertaking at any time during its application. |
|
(14) |
Trina Solar notified the Commission in December 2015 that it wished to withdraw its undertaking. |
C. WITHDRAWAL OF THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE UNDERTAKING AND IMPOSITIONS OF DEFINITIVE DUTIES
|
(15) |
Therefore, in accordance with Article 8(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, Article 13(9) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation and also in accordance with the terms of the undertaking, the Commission has concluded that the acceptance of the undertaking for Trina Solar shall be withdrawn. |
|
(16) |
Accordingly, pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 13(9) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 and the definitive countervailing duty imposed by Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013 automatically apply to imports originating in or consigned from the PRC of the product concerned and produced by Trina Solar (TARIC additional code: B791) as of the day of entry into force of this Regulation. |
|
(17) |
For information purposes the table in Annex to this Regulation lists the exporting producers for whom the acceptance of the undertaking by Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU is not affected, |
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Acceptance of the undertaking in relation to Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co. Ltd, Trina Solar (Changzhou) Science & Technology Co. Ltd, Changzhou Youze Technology Co. Ltd, Trina Solar Energy (Shanghai) Co. Ltd and Yancheng Trina Solar Energy Technology Co. Ltd together with their related companies in the European Union, jointly covered by the TARIC additional code: B791 is hereby withdrawn.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
