Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports of certain grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating, inter alia, in the Russian Federation: modification of the name of a company subject to anti-dumping measures

(2017/C 206/15)

Imports of certain grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel originating, inter alia, in the Russian Federation are subject to a minimum price regime in combination with definitive anti-dumping duties, imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1953 (1).

OJSC Novolipetsk Steel, a company located in the Russian Federation whose exports to the Union of certain grain-oriented flat-rolled products of silicon-electrical steel are subject to these measures, including an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 21,6 % imposed by the aforementioned regulation, informed the Commission that it has changed its legal form to Public Joint Stock Company (PJSC) and its company name in English to ‘Novolipetsk Steel’ (contracted name in English: ‘NLMK’, contracted name in Russian: ‘ПАО НЛМК’).

The company has asked the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual duty rate which is under certain circumstances, as described in Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1953, applicable to the company under its previous name.

The Commission has examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1953.

Therefore, the reference in Article 1(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1953 to:

‘OJSC Novolipetsk Steel, Lipetsk’

should be read as:

‘Novolipetsk Steel, Lipetsk’.

The TARIC additional code C043 previously attributed to OJSC Novolipetsk Steel, Lipetsk and VIZ Steel, Ekaterinburg, shall apply to Novolipetsk Steel, Lipetsk and VIZ Steel, Ekaterinburg.
