Note 1

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 3

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

NOTE:

Any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from the European Standardisation Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed to Directive 98/34/EC (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council amended by Directive 98/48/EC (3).

Publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Union does not imply that the standards are available in all the Community languages.

Quality systems — Medical devices — Particular requirements for the application of EN ISO 9003

 

Note 1

Generally the date of cessation of presumption of conformity will be the date of withdrawal (‘dow’), set by the European Standardisation Organisation, but attention of users of these standards is drawn to the fact that in certain exceptional cases this can be otherwise.

Note 3

In case of amendments, the referenced standard is EN CCCCC:YYYY, its previous amendments, if any, and the new, quoted amendment. The superseded standard (column 3) therefore consists of EN CCCCC:YYYY and its previous amendments, if any, but without the new quoted amendment. On the date stated, the superseded standard ceases to give presumption of conformity with the essential requirements of the directive.

NOTE:

Any information concerning the availability of the standards can be obtained either from the European Standardisation Organisations or from the national standardisation bodies of which the list is annexed to Directive 98/34/EC (2) of the European Parliament and of the Council amended by Directive 98/48/EC (3).

Publication of the references in the Official Journal of the European Union does not imply that the standards are available in all the Community languages.

Notice regarding the scope of the partial interim review on imports of Polyethylene Terephthalate (‘PET’) originating in, inter alia, the Republic of Korea

(2006/C 129/05)

On 1 December 2005, the Commission published in the Official Journal of the European Union a Notice of Initiation of an expiry review on the anti-dumping measures in force against imports of Polyethylene Terephthalate (‘PET’) originating in India, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan and Thailand and a partial interim review on the same measures against imports originating in Taiwan and the Republic of Korea (1).

This scope of the present Notice is limited to the partial interim review and concerns only the Republic of Korea.

Clarification regarding the scope of the partial interim review

In point 4.2 of the Notice of Initiation, the following three companies are mentioned as being subject to the partial interim review: Daehan Synthetic Fibre Co. Ltd, SK Chemicals Co. Ltd and KP Chemicals Corp.

In the light of information gathered as part of the questionnaire response to the Notice of Initiation, it has come to the attention of the Commission that companies related to the three abovementioned companies also produce and/or distribute PET.

In order to avoid any misunderstanding about the exact scope of the investigation, it is hereby clarified that all companies related to (2) Daehan Synthetic Fibre Co. Ltd, SK Chemicals Co. Ltd and KP Chemicals Corp are also part of the scope of this investigation. If anti-dumping duties are called for by the outcome of this investigation, they will be calculated on the basis of the information obtained from the group of all related companies involved in the production and distribution of PET and will be set accordingly.
