Imports of electric bicycles originating in the People’s Republic of China are subject to definitive countervailing duties imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/72 (2).

Jinhua Enjoycare Motive Technology Co., Ltd., TARIC (3) additional code C419, a company subject to a countervailing duty rate of 9,2 %, informed the Commission on 21 November 2022 that it had changed its name to Enjoycare Technology (Zhejiang) Co., Ltd.

(3)

The company requested the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the duty rate for ‘Other cooperating companies listed in Annex I’ applied to it under its previous name.

(4)

The Commission examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name was properly registered with the relevant authorities, and did not result in any new relationship with other groups of companies which were not investigated by the Commission.

(5)

Accordingly, this change of name does not affect the findings of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/72 and in particular the countervailing duty rate applicable to it.

(6)

The name change should take effect as of the date on which the company changed its name, i.e. 22 September 2022. The Commission requested the applicant to confirm whether this date was appropriate.

(7)

Given the considerations in the recitals above, the Commission considered it appropriate to amend Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2019/72 to reflect the changed name of the company previously attributed to additional TARIC code C419.

According to Article 25 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037, the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4),
