Notice concerning the anti-dumping duty in force in respect of imports into the Community of colour television receivers originating, inter alia, in the Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Thailand: modification of the name of a company subject to individual anti-dumping duty rates

(2004/C 38/04)

Imports of colour television receivers originating, inter alia, in the Republic of Korea, Malaysia and Thailand are subject to definitive anti-dumping measures imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 1531/2002(1).

Thomson Television (Thailand) Co., Ltd, a company located in Pathumthani, Thailand, whose exports to the Community of colour television receivers originating in the Republic of Korea and Malaysia are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 0 % and those originating in Thailand to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 3 % by the aforementioned Regulation, has informed the Commission that it has changed its name to Thomson Manufacturing Operations (Thailand) Co., Ltd. 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 rates applied to the company under its previous name of Thomson Television (Thailand) Co., Ltd.

The Commission has examined the information supplied, which demonstrates that all the company's activities linked to the manufacturing, sales and exports of colour television receivers are unaffected by the change of name. The Commission therefore concludes that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Council Regulation (EC) No 1531/2002. In view of the absence of any substantive change of circumstances, the reference to Thomson Television (Thailand) Co., Ltd should be read as Thomson Manufacturing Operations (Thailand) Co., Ltd in Article 1(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1531/2002.

The Taric additional code 8815 previously attributed to Thomson Television (Thailand) Co., Ltd shall apply to Thomson Manufacturing Operations (Thailand) Co., Ltd.
