C 102/8

RULES CONCERNING THE BAN ON SMOKING ON EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT'S PREMISES

Bureau decision of 23 March 2011

2011/C 102/04

THE BUREAU,

Having regard to Rule 23(2) of Parliament's Rules of Procedure,

Having regard to the opinion of the Advisory Committee on Prevention and Protection at Work delivered on 11 February 2011,

Whereas:

(1)

In its resolutions of 24 October 2007 on the Green Paper ‘Towards a Europe free from tobacco smoke: policy options at EU level’ (1) and of 26 November 2009 on smoke-free environments (2), the European Parliament calls on the Bureau, in the light of its duty to set an example, to adopt a rigorously enforceable smoking ban with no exemptions in all parts of the European Parliament with immediate effect.

(2)

On the basis of Council Decision 2004/513/EC, the European Union has ratified the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control which contains in its Article 8(1) the recognition by the contracting parties of the existence of scientific evidence establishing that exposure to tobacco smoke causes death, disease and disability, and which sets out the obligation of the contracting parties, under its Article 8(2), to adopt effective legislative, executive, administrative and/or other measures, providing for protection from exposure to tobacco smoke in indoor workplaces.

(3)	Council Directive 89/391/EEC provides in its Article 5 that the employer shall have a duty to ensure the safety and health of workers in every aspect related to the work.

(4)	As there is scientific proof that passive smoking is a serious threat to health, the European Parliament has a duty to protect its Members, staff and other users of its premises from the preventable health risks and disagreeable sensations caused by passive smoking.

(5)	As an employer, the European Parliament has a legal obligation to protect its staff against health risks at the workplace.

(6)	As an institution, the European Parliament has to take all necessary measures with a view to protecting itself against potential claims for damages.

(7)

In view of the health risks associated with passive and active smoking, it is desirable for the European Parliament to provide information to its Members, assistants and staff in order to improve the understanding of the risks of passive and active smoking as well as to provide programmes offering support to those who wish to stop smoking.

(8)	For this reason, the European Parliament supports the objective of achieving a completely smoke-free environment in its premises with the exclusive exception of specially designated areas within its buildings.

(9)

It is necessary to ensure the effective enforcement of the ban on smoking pursuant to these Rules. This prohibition shall therefore be complemented by appropriate procedures by means of which it will be possible to ensure that, where appropriate, effective, proportionate and dissuasive sanctions are imposed,

HAS DECIDED:

Article 1

1. Smoking is forbidden within all premises of the European Parliament, including its information offices in Member States and the liaison office in Washington, with the only exception of specially designated areas listed in the Annex.

The Quaestors may decide about any subsequent modification of the Annex.

2. Smoking is also forbidden in official cars and all other means of transport provided by the Institution.

Article 2

1. These rules shall be notified to Members, their assistants and staff.

2. Clear indications as to the ban on smoking under Article 1 shall be posted at the entrances and throughout the public areas of the European Parliament's premises, with the exception of the specially designated areas listed in the Annex. The exact location of the smoking areas shall be clearly indicated so that Members, their assistants and staff are informed of the areas where smoking is authorised. No ashtrays shall be put at the disposal of the public within Parliament's premises, with the exception of the specially designated areas and the areas near to the entrances of Parliament's premises.

3. Leaders of the political groups shall recall the need for respect of these rules to Members and staff of their respective groups.

Article 3

The Directorate-General for Personnel, in cooperation with the Advisory Committee on Prevention and Protection at Work, shall draw up a policy for the prevention of the risks of active and passive smoking by means of the implementation of an integrated package of measures to provide information to Members of Parliament, assistants and staff to improve understanding of the risks of passive and active smoking and offer programmes designed to help those who wish to stop smoking.

Article 4

Any person failing to comply with these rules shall be requested in situ to stop smoking (oral reminder). The Secretary-General shall be responsible for ensuring compliance with this rule.

Article 5

1. Any Member who persists in failing to comply with these rules, even after the oral reminder pursuant to Article 4, shall be subject, under the authority of the Quaestors and the President, to the sanctions’ regime provided for in Article 6.

2. Any official, other staff member or accredited assistant who persists in failing to comply with these rules, even after the oral reminder pursuant to Article 4, shall be subject, under the authority of the Secretary-General, to the sanctions’ regime provided for in Article 7.

3. Any local assistant, visitor or other person having entered Parliament’s premises (e.g. personnel of service providers and external firms) who persists in failing to comply with these rules, even after the oral reminder pursuant to Article 4, shall be subject, under the authority of the Secretary-General, to the sanctions’ regime provided for in Article 8.

Article 6

1. The Secretary-General shall report the name of any Member refusing to comply with these rules to the Quaestors. Subsequently, the Quaestors shall address a formal communication (written reminder — ‘yellow card’) to the Member informing him that financial sanctions will apply in case of reiterated breach of these rules.

2. In case of reiterated breach of these rules by a Member, the President, upon a proposal submitted by the Quaestors, shall adopt a decision imposing financial sanctions upon the Member concerned (‘red card’). The amount of the sanction shall be equivalent to the amount of one day's subsistence allowance. This amount shall be directly deducted from the Member's general expenditure allowance.

3. The Member being subject to a sanction may submit a written complaint within 15 working days from notification to the President. Such an appeal shall have suspensory effect. The Bureau shall notify the complainant of its reasoned decision within two months from the date on which the complaint was lodged.

Article 7

1. In case of reiterated breach of these rules by an official, other staff member or accredited assistant, the Secretary-General shall address a formal communication (written reminder — ‘yellow card’) to the person concerned informing him that disciplinary sanctions will apply.

2. In case of continued breach of these rules, the official, other staff member or accredited assistant concerned shall be subject to disciplinary proceedings under the Staff Regulations.

3. Any person being subject to a sanction under this Article may submit an appeal to the appointing authority under Article 90 of the Staff Regulations of Officials and Conditions of Employment of other Servants of the European Community which fully apply.

Article 8

In case of reiterated breach of these rules by any local assistant, visitor or other person having entered Parliament's premises, the person concerned will be in situ escorted to the exits of the premises.

Article 9

These rules shall replace the Bureau decision of 13 July 2004 laying down rules on European Parliament's premises. They shall enter into force on the day after their publication in the Official Journal.

Article 10

These rules shall be evaluated two years after their entry into force.

C 102/15

Notice of initiation of a partial interim review of the countervailing measures applicable to imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating in India

2011/C 102/08

The European Commission (‘Commission’) has received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 19 of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’).

1. Request for review

The request was lodged by Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Limited (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer from India.

The review is limited in scope to the examination of subsidisation as far as the applicant is concerned.

2. Product

The product under review is polyethylene terephthalate (PET) having a viscosity of 78 ml/g or higher, according to the ISO Standard 1628-5, currently falling within CN code 3907 60 20 and originating in India (‘the product concerned’).

3. Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive countervailing duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 193/2007 (2) on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating in India as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1286/2008 (3).

4. Grounds for the review

The applicant has provided prima facie evidence that, as far as the applicant is concerned, the circumstances with regard to subsidisation on the basis of which measures were imposed have changed significantly and that these changes are of lasting nature.

The applicant alleges that the continued imposition of the measure on imports of the product under review at its current level is no longer necessary to offset the countervailable subsidisation. The applicant has provided sufficient evidence that its subsidy amount has decreased well below the duty rate currently applicable to it. This reduction in the overall subsidy level is mainly due to the termination of its Export Oriented Unit Status.

In the light of the above, the Commission considers that, as far as subsidisation of Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Limited is concerned, there is sufficient prima facie evidence that the circumstances with regard to subsidisation have changed significantly and are of a lasting nature and, therefore, the measures should be reviewed.

5. Procedure for the determination of subsidisation

Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence exists to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission hereby initiates a review in accordance with Article 19 of the basic Regulation with a view to determining whether the measures should be removed or amended for the applicant.

If so, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from other companies in India.

(a) Questionnaires

In order to obtain the information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the applicant and to the authorities of the exporting country concerned. This information and supporting evidence should reach the Commission within the time limit set in point 6(a) of this notice.

(b) Collection of information and holding of hearings

All interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known, submit information other than questionnaire replies and to provide supporting evidence. This information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within the time limit set in point 6(a) of this notice.

Furthermore, the Commission may hear interested parties, provided that they make a request showing that there are particular reasons why they should be heard. This request must be made within the time limit set in point 6(b) of this notice.

6. Time limits

(a) For parties to make themselves known, to submit questionnaire replies and any other information

All interested parties, if their representations are to be taken into account during the investigation, must make themselves known by contacting the Commission, present their views and submit questionnaire replies or any other information within 37 days of the date of publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified. Attention is drawn to the fact that the exercise of most procedural rights set out in the basic Regulation depends on the party's making itself known within the aforementioned period.

(b) Hearings

All interested parties may also apply to be heard by the Commission within the same 37-day time limit.

7. Written submissions, questionnaire replies and correspondence

All submissions and requests made by interested parties must be made in writing (not in electronic format, unless otherwise specified) and must indicate the name, address, e-mail address, telephone and fax numbers of the interested party. All written submissions, including the information requested in this notice, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited’ (4) and, in accordance with Article 29(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’.

8. Non-cooperation

In cases in which any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, findings, affirmative or negative, may be made in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the facts available.

Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made, in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation, of the facts available. If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially, and use of facts available is made, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

9. Schedule of the investigation

The investigation shall be concluded, according to Article 22(1) of the basic Regulation, within 15 months of the date of the publication of this notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

10. Processing of personal data

It is noted that any personal data collected in this investigation will be treated in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 45/2001 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 December 2000 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data by the Community institutions and bodies and on the free movement of such data (5).

11. Hearing Officer

It is also noted that if interested parties consider that they are encountering difficulties in the exercise of their rights of defence, they may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer of the Directorate-General for Trade. He acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission services, offering, where necessary, mediation on procedural matters affecting the protection of their interests in this proceeding, in particular with regard to issues concerning access to the file, confidentiality, extension of time limits and the treatment of written and/or oral submission of views.

C 102/18

Notice of initiation of a partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating, inter alia, in India

2011/C 102/09

The European Commission (‘Commission’) has received a request for a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic Regulation’).

1. Request for review

The request was lodged by Dhunseri Petrochem & Tea Limited (‘the applicant’), an exporting producer from India.

The review is limited in scope to the examination of dumping as far as the applicant is concerned.

2. Product

3. Existing measures

The measures currently in force are a definitive anti-dumping duty imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (2) on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating, inter alia, in India, as amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 1286/2008 (3).

4. Grounds for the review

The request pursuant to Article 11(3) is based on prima facie evidence, provided by the applicant, that, as far as the applicant is concerned, the circumstances on the basis of which the existing measures were imposed have changed and that these changes are of lasting nature.

The applicant provided prima facie evidence showing that, as far as the applicant is concerned, the continued imposition of the measure at its current level is no longer necessary to offset dumping. In particular, the applicant alleges that there have been significant changes in the production costs of the company mainly due to a significant decrease of customs duties applicable to imports of basic raw materials and to improvements in the production process; these changes have led to a substantially lower dumping margin since the imposition of the existing measures. A comparison of the applicant's domestic prices and its export prices to the Union indicates that the dumping margin appears to be substantially lower than the current level of the measure.

Therefore, the continued imposition of measures at the existing level, which was based on the level of dumping previously established, appears to be no longer necessary to offset dumping.

5. Procedure for the determination of dumping

The investigation will assess the need for the continuation, removal or amendment of the existing measures in respect of the applicant.

If it is determined that measures should be removed or amended for the applicant, it may be necessary to amend the rate of duty currently applicable to imports of the product concerned from other companies in India.

All written submissions, including the information requested in this notice, questionnaire replies and correspondence provided by interested parties on a confidential basis shall be labelled as ‘Limited’ (4) and, in accordance with Article 19(2) of the basic Regulation, shall be accompanied by a non-confidential version, which will be labelled ‘For inspection by interested parties’.
