Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union
(2020/C 48/07)
Pursuant to Article 9(1)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 (1), the Explanatory Notes to the Combined Nomenclature of the European Union (2) are hereby amended as follows:
On page 161, in the Explanatory note to subheading ‘ 2933 49 10 Halogen derivatives of quinoline; quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives’ , the third paragraph is replaced and additional paragraphs are added:
‘The term “quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives” includes derivatives of quinolinecarboxylic acid in which one or more hydrogen atom(s) of the aromatic ring system and/or the acid function has/have been substituted. Quinolinedicarboxylic acid derivatives are also covered by this term.
4-Hydroxyquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (enol tautomers) and 4-oxo-1,4-dihydroquinoline-3-carboxylic acids (keto tautomers) can be all considered as quinolinecarboxylic acid derivatives of subheading 2933 49 10. Substitution on any atom of the ring (including nitrogen) in either the enol or the keto tautomer does not remove quinolinecarboxylate moiety from the molecule.
In addition, since the carboxylic acid moiety plays no role in the keto-enol tautomerisation, also e.g. the 4-hydroxyquinoline-2-carboxylic acids and other regioisomers are covered by the term “quinolinecarboxylic acid”.
Examples:

C 48/18 |
Notice amending the notice of initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding concerning imports of continuous filament glass fibre products originating in Egypt
(2020/C 48/11)
On 7 June 2019, the Commission published a notice initiating an anti-subsidy investigation concerning imports of continuous filament glass fibre products originating in Egypt (1) (the ‘Notice of 7 June 2019’). In Section 3 of the Notice of 7 June 2019, the Commission explicitly reserved the right to investigate other relevant subsidies which may be revealed during the course of the investigation. During the investigation, the Commission has found additional evidence of relevant subsidies which were not included in that notice. Therefore, pursuant to Article 10(7) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2) (‘the basic Regulation’), the Commission considers it justified to include these subsidies within the scope of the current investigation and to amend accordingly the Notice of 7 June 2019. Further information can be found in a note to the file for inspection by interested parties.
1. Additional subsidies under investigation
The relevant part of Section 3 of the Notice of 7 June 2019 reads as follows:
‘In addition to subsidies granted directly by the Government of Egypt, the complainant further alleges that the producers of the product under investigation from Egypt also benefit from subsidies granted directly by the Government of Egypt or via Egyptian entities in the context of the cooperation between Egypt and the People’s Republic of China to foster investments in a special economic zone (the China-Egypt Suez Economic and Trade Cooperation Zone). The complaint contains evidence of the cooperation agreements between the Chinese and the Egyptian Governments as well as of loans from Chinese State-owned or State-controlled entities to Egyptian State-owned banks. In view of the objectives of these agreements and loans, the complainant argues that such loans benefit the Chinese-owned exporting producer in Egypt.
The complainant further alleges that the above measures amount to subsidies because they involve a financial contribution from the Government of Egypt (including public bodies) and confer a benefit to the exporting producers of the product under investigation. They are alleged to be limited to certain enterprises or industries or group of enterprises and/or contingent upon export performance and are therefore specific and countervailable. On that basis, the alleged subsidy amounts appear to be significant for Egypt.’
The investigation revealed additional evidence with regard to the financial flows concerning preferential policy loans not reflected in Section 3 of the Notice of 7 June 2019. In particular, the Commission identified in the course of the investigation that in addition to loans mentioned in the complaint as channelled to exporting producers via Egyptian State-owned banks, there were loans granted by Chinese State-owned or State-controlled entities directly to the sole exporting producer in Egypt and indirectly via its related companies established in the People’s Republic of China. As this preferential financing may be attributable to the Government of Egypt, the Commission needs to also investigate them in the on-going proceedings.
The investigation also showed that that cooperation between the Government of Egypt and the Government of the People’s Republic of China may have influenced other subsidy practices, in addition to the transfer of funds through preferential lending (such as the provision of land for less than adequate remuneration). The Commission will further examine this element in this investigation.
Therefore, in accordance with Article 10(7) of the basic Regulation, the following text shall be added to the Notice of 7 June 2019 immediately after the text quoted above:
‘In the course of the investigation, the Commission identified additional evidence of preferential policy loans by Chinese State-owned or State-controlled entities, granted directly to Jushi Egypt and/or indirectly via the parent company of Jushi Egypt in the People’s Republic of China.
With respect to these loans, the Commission identified evidence that they involve a financial contribution that may be attributable to the Government of Egypt and confer a benefit to the exporting producer of the product under investigation. They appear to be limited to certain enterprises or industries or group of enterprises and/or contingent upon export performance and are therefore specific and countervailable. The amounts of these loans appear to involve significant subsidisation.
In the course of the investigation, the Commission also identified other elements in the cooperation between Egypt and the People’s Republic of China which may be relevant for the examination of other subsidy practices, such as the provision of land for less than adequate remuneration.’
2. Procedural issues
2.1. Procedure for the determination of subsidisation: exporting producers
In accordance with Article 10(7) of the basic Regulation, all interested parties concerned by the inclusion of these subsidies in the scope of the investigation (including the Government of the People’s Republic of China) are invited to make their views known in writing, submit information and to provide supporting evidence concerning these subsidies. In view of the limited scope of the investigation into the new subsidies, comments on these subsidies in the current anti-subsidy investigation should reach the Commission within 15 days from the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.
In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation with regard to these new subsidies, the Commission will request additional information from the authorities of Egypt and of the People’s Republic of China, as well as from Jushi Egypt and its related companies in the People’s Republic of China. The replies to these requests must be provided within 15 days from the date of publication of this Notice. A copy of these requests is available in the file for inspection by interested parties.
A summary of the main elements concerning these subsides can be found in the file for inspection by interested parties.
The Government of Egypt has been invited for consultations.
2.2. Hearings
Pursuant to Article 10(12) of the basic Regulation, all interested parties may also request a hearing by the Commission within 15 days from the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.
The timeframe for hearings set out in section 5.7 of the Notice of 7 June 2019 continues to apply in this investigation.
2.3. Other procedural issues
The other procedural rules mentioned in sections 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 of the Notice of 7 June 2019 continue to apply to this investigation where relevant.

Notice concerning a request pursuant to Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU
Request made by a Contracting entity – suspension of the deadline
(2020/C 48/16)
On 1 March 2018 the Commission received a request in accordance with Article 35 of Directive 2014/25/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council (1). The first working day following receipt of the request was 2 March 2018 and the initial period available to the Commission for deciding on this request was of 145 working days.
This request is made by Finavia Oyj and concerns activities relating to the provision of businesses premises for commercial actors providing commercial services (duty free, retail, food and beverages and other passenger services) for flight passengers at Helsinki airport’s terminals in Finland. The relevant notices were published on page 21 of OJ C114 on 28 March 2018, and page 9 of OJ C 359 on 5 October 2018.
Pursuant to Annex IV, point 2, of Directive 2014/25/EU, the Commission may require the Member State or the contracting entity concerned or the competent independent national authority or any other competent national authority to provide all necessary information or to supplement or clarify information given within an appropriate time limit. On 5 October 2018 the Commission asked the Applicant to provide additional information by 9 October 2018 at the latest.
In the event of late or incomplete answers, the initial deadline shall be suspended for the period between the expiry of the time limit set in the request for information, and the receipt of the complete and correct information.
The formal deadline will therefore expire after 52 working days after the receipt of complete and correct information.
