(1)

With Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1518 (2), the Commission imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 (3).

(2)

It is appropriate to allow companies who did not export the biodiesel during the original investigation period to request a review whether they can be made subject to the duty rate imposed on the cooperating companies not in the sample. Such a review shall be carried out if sufficient evidence is brought to the Commission by a new exporter or producer in the exporting country in question that it (1) has not exported the product during the period of investigation on which the measures were based; (2) is not related to an exporter or producer subject to the measures imposed; and (3) has either actually exported the goods concerned or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the period of investigation.

(3)

However, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1518 did not provide for the possibility of new exporters requesting such review. Therefore, that Regulation should be amended accordingly.

(4)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036.

(5)

In view of the above, Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1518 should be amended accordingly,
