New national side of euro coins intended for circulation

(2015/C 143/05)

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country : Germany

Subject of commemoration : Hessen from the ‘Lander’ series

Description of the design : The design depicts a classic perspective on St. Paul’s Church in Frankfurt (the ‘Paulskirche’ was the seat of Germany’s first freely elected legislative body in 1849 and is regarded as the cradle of German democracy) and is therefore the perspective possessing the greatest recognition value. The design incisively brings out the tension between the dominant tower and the elliptical structure of the church. The slightly exaggerated flight of steps has an inviting quality while simultaneously offering support to the subjacent inscription ‘HESSEN’ (the Federal State of Hessen in which St. Paul’s Church is situated).The inner part also features the year ‘2015’ and the mint mark of the respective mint (‘A’, ‘D’, ‘F’, ‘G’ or ‘J’) at the left side as well as the issuing country’s indication ‘D’ and the engraver’s mark (the initials ‘HH’ — Heinz Hoyer) at the right side.

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Number of coins to be issued : 30 million

Date of issue :

---

(1)  See OJ C 373, 28.12.2001, p. 1 for the national faces of all the coins issued in 2002.

(2)  See the conclusions of the Economic and Financial Affairs Council of 10 February 2009 and the Commission Recommendation of 19 December 2008 on common guidelines for the national sides and the issuance of euro coins intended for circulation (OJ L 9, 14.1.2009, p. 52).

New national side of euro coins intended for circulation

(2015/C 143/06)

Euro coins intended for circulation have legal tender status throughout the euro area. For the purpose of informing the public and all parties who handle the coins, the Commission publishes a description of the designs of all new coins (1). In accordance with the Council conclusions of 10 February 2009 (2), euro-area Member States and countries that have concluded a monetary agreement with the European Union providing for the issuing of euro coins are allowed to issue commemorative euro coins intended for circulation, provided that certain conditions are met, particularly that only the 2-euro denomination is used. These coins have the same technical characteristics as other 2-euro coins, but their national face features a commemorative design that is highly symbolic in national or European terms.

Issuing country : The Republic of San Marino

Subject of commemoration : the 750th anniversary of the birth of Dante Alighieri

Description of the design : The design by Annalisa Masini shows a portrait of Dante, taken from a fresco by Botticelli. At the right of the portrait, the inscription ‘DANTE’ on a vertical axis. At the right of the inner centre, the name of the issuing country ‘SAN MARINO’ in semi-circle. Between these two inscriptions, the mint mark ‘R’, the years ‘1265’ and ‘2015’ and the initials of the artist ‘AM’. The lettering style used in identifying the nation and the coin's subject was inspired by lettering in the first copies of the Divina Commedia (Dante’s Divine Comedy).

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Issuing country : Malta

Subject of commemoration : First flight from Malta

Description of the design : The coin commemorates an important milestone in Maltese aviation history — the 100 years since the first flight from Malta. It was on 13 February 1915 that Captain Kilmer took off from the Grand Harbour on a seaplane that was carried by HMS Ark Royal. The plane landed in the harbour after a 55-minute flight. The coin depicts Captain Kilmer’s seaplane with Senglea Point, a prominent feature in the Grand Harbour, in the background. At the top the inscription ‘FIRST FLIGHT FROM MALTA’ in semi-circle. At the right the years ‘1915-2015’. At the bottom left the inscription ‘100TH ANNIVERSARY’ and at the bottom the initials of the designer ‘NGB’ (Noel Galea Bason).

The coin’s outer ring depicts the 12 stars of the European flag.

Action brought on 28 January 2015 by the Icelandic Financial Services Association against the EFTA Surveillance Authority

(Case E-4/15)

(2015/C 143/10)

An action against the EFTA Surveillance Authority was brought before the EFTA Court on 28 January 2015 by the Icelandic Financial Services Association, represented by Hans-Jörg Niemeyer, Attorney-at-law, and Christian Kovács, Attorney-at-law, Hengeler Mueller, Square de Meeûs 40, 1000 Brussels, Belgium.

The applicant claims that the EFTA Court should:

1.	annul the EFTA Surveillance Authority’s Decision 298/14/COL of 16 July 2014 (OJ C 400, 13.11.2014, p. 13) to close the case concerning existing aid to the Icelandic Housing Financing Fund (Íbúðalánasjóður); and

2.	order the EFTA Surveillance Authority to bear the costs of the proceedings.

Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support:

—

The applicant, the Icelandic Financial Services Association (‘SFF’), is an association which represents all registered financial undertakings in Iceland, including universal, investment, and savings banks as well as insurance, leasing, securities and card companies. Its objective is to promote a competitive operating environment for financial companies in Iceland and promote their interests internationally.

—	The case concerns an application for annulment of a decision by the EFTA Surveillance Authority to close a case concerning existing aid to the Icelandic Housing Financing Fund (‘HFF’).

The applicant claims that the EFTA Surveillance Authority has:

—	wrongly assumed that the support granted to HFF constitutes existing aid when in reality it amounts to new aid,

—	not provided adequate reasons for the conclusions it drew in the Decision and thereby violated Article 16 SCA,

—	manifestly erred in its interpretation of Article 59(2) EEA.

Action brought on 16 February 2015 by the EFTA Surveillance Authority against the Kingdom of Norway

(Case E-6/15)

(2015/C 143/11)

An action against the Kingdom of Norway was brought before the EFTA Court on 16 February 2015 by the EFTA Surveillance Authority, Xavier Lewis and Clémence Perrin, acting as Agents of the EFTA Surveillance Authority, Rue Belliard 35, 1040 Brussels, Belgium.

The applicant requests EFTA Court to declare that:

1.

By maintaining in force Sections 20-1, second paragraph and 22-3 of the Planning Building Act, read in conjunction with Sections 9-1 to 9-4 and 11-1 of the Building Regulation, which require undertakings carrying out construction works to obtain an authorisation by local municipalities prior to the beginning of their activity, Norway has failed to fulfil its obligations under Article 16 of the Act referred to at point 1 of Annex X of the EEA Agreement (Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market), or, alternatively, Article 36 of the EEA Agreement.

2.	The Kingdom of Norway bears the costs of the proceedings.

Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support:

—

The case concerns the requirement under Norwegian law (Sections 20-1, second paragraph and 22-3 of the Planning Building Act, read in conjunction with Sections 9-1 to 9-4 and 11-1 of the Building Regulation) for undertakings wishing to carry out construction services in Norway to be approved by local municipalities before they start their activity. Such approval must be obtained before every individual construction project.

—

The EFTA Surveillance Authority submits that the requirement amounts to a restriction which cannot be justified under Article 16(1) and (3) of Directive 2006/123/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 12 December 2006 on services in the internal market (the ‘Services Directive’) or, alternatively, that such measure amounts to a restriction of freedom to provide services under Article 36 of the EEA Agreement, which cannot be justified under Article 33 of the EEA Agreement.

—	Norway claims that, in principle, such an authorisation scheme is not contrary to the Services Directive since it can be justified under Article 16(1) and (3) of that Directive.

An action against the Kingdom of Norway was brought before the EFTA Court on 16 February 2015 by the EFTA Surveillance Authority, Xavier Lewis, Auður Ýr Steinarsdóttir and Øyvind Bø, acting as Agents of the EFTA Surveillance Authority, Rue Belliard 35, 1040 Brussels, Belgium.

The applicant requests the EFTA Court to:

1.

Declare that by: (i) surpassing the limit values for sulphur dioxide (SO2), particulate matter (PM10) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) in the ambient air during the years 2008 to 2012 variously in the zones NO1, NO3, NO4, NO5 and NO6 referred to in Articles 3 to 5 of Directive 1999/30/EC, now Article 13 of Directive 2008/50/EC; and (ii) failing to comply with the air quality plan obligation as set out in Article 8(3) of Directive 96/62/EC, now Article 23 of Directive 2008/50/EC variously as regards zones NO1, NO2, NO3, NO4 and NO5; Norway has failed to fulfil its obligations arising under the Act referred to at point 14c of Annex XX of the Agreement on the European Economic Area (Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe).

2.	Order Norway to bear the costs of these proceedings.

Legal and factual background and pleas in law adduced in support:

—

Council Directive 1999/30/EC relating to limit values for sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and oxides of nitrogen, particulate matter and lead in ambient air, now Directive 2008/50/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 21 May 2008 on ambient air quality and cleaner air for Europe, imposes limit values for certain pollutants in ambient air in order to avoid, prevent and reduce harmful effects on human health and the environment as whole. It also establishes provisions for the assessment of pollutants as well as measures to maintain good air quality.

—	The EFTA Surveillance Authority submits that Norway has failed to comply with its obligation to ensure that the levels of certain pollutants in ambient air do not exceed the limit values set out in EEA law.

—	The EFTA Surveillance Authority also submits that Norway has failed to comply with the obligation to draw up suitable air quality plans where limit values plus the relevant margin of tolerance have been exceeded.

—	The EFTA Surveillance Authority states that Norway has not challenged any of the shortcomings identified by the Authority in its responses to the letter of formal notice and reasoned opinion.

—

The EFTA Surveillance Authority claims that by failing to include the details of adopted measures or projects and a timetable for their implementation, as well as an estimate of the improvement of air quality planned and the expected timeframe required to attain these objectives, Norway has failed to comply with its obligations under Article 8(3) of Directive 96/62/EC, now Article 23(1) of Directive 2008/50/EC.

Notice of initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of high fatigue performance steel concrete reinforcement bars originating in the People's Republic of China

(2015/C 143/13)

The European Commission (‘the Commission’) has received a complaint pursuant to Article 5 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’), alleging that imports of high fatigue performance steel concrete reinforcement bars originating in the People's Republic of China, are being dumped and are thereby causing material injury to the Union industry.

1.   Complaint

The complaint was lodged on 17 March 2015 by the European Steel Association (‘Eurofer’) (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of high fatigue performance steel concrete reinforcement bars.

2.   Product under investigation

The product subject to this investigation are high fatigue performance iron or steel concrete reinforcing bars and rods (sometimes referred to as HFP Rebars) made of iron, non-alloy steel or alloy steel (but excluding of stainless steel, high-speed steel and silico-manganese steel), not further worked than hot-rolled, but including those twisted after rolling; these bars and rods contain indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process or are twisted after rolling. The key characteristic of high fatigue performance is the ability to endure repeated stress without breaking and, specifically, the ability to resist in excess of 4,5 million fatigue cycles using a stress ratio (min/max) of 0,2 and a stress range exceeding 150 MPa. (‘the product under investigation’).

3.   Allegation of dumping

The product allegedly being dumped is the product under investigation, originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the country concerned’), currently falling within CN codes ex 7214 20 00, ex 7228 30 20, ex 7228 30 41, ex 7228 30 49, ex 7228 30 61, ex 7228 30 69, ex 7228 30 70 and ex 7228 30 89. These CN codes are given for information only.

Since, in view of the provisions of Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation, the People's Republic of China is considered to be a non-market economy country, the complainant has established a normal value for the imports from the People's Republic of China on the basis of domestic prices in two market economy third countries, namely Qatar and the United Arab Emirates.

The allegation of dumping is based on a comparison of the normal value thus established with the export price (at ex-works level) of the product under investigation when sold for export to the Union.

On this basis the dumping margins calculated are significant for the country concerned.

4.   Allegation of injury and causation

The complainant has provided evidence that imports of the product under investigation from the country concerned have increased overall in absolute terms and in terms of market share.

The prima facie evidence provided by the complainant shows that the volume and the prices of the imported product under investigation have had, among other consequences, a negative impact on the level of prices charged and market share held by the Union industry, resulting in substantial adverse effects on the overall performance and the financial situation of the Union industry.

5.   Procedure

Having determined, after informing the Member States, that the complaint has been lodged by or on behalf of the Union industry and that there is sufficient evidence to justify the initiation of a proceeding, the Commission hereby initiates an investigation pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation.

The investigation will determine whether the product under investigation originating in the country concerned is being dumped and whether the dumped imports have caused injury to the Union industry. If the conclusions are affirmative, the investigation will examine whether the imposition of measures would not be against the Union interest.

5.1.    Procedure for the determination of dumping

Exporting producers (2) of the product under investigation from the country concerned are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

5.1.1.   Investigating exporting producers

5.1.1.1.   Procedure for selecting exporting producers to be investigated in the country concerned

(a)   Sampling

In view of the potentially large number of exporting producers in the country concerned involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit the exporting producers to be investigated to a reasonable number by selecting a sample (this process is also referred to as ‘sampling’). The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary, and if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties have to do so within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified, by providing the Commission with information on their companies requested in Annex I to this Notice.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of exporting producers, the Commission will also contact the authorities of the country concerned and may contact any known associations of exporting producers.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the exporting producers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of exports to the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known exporting producers, the authorities of the country concerned and associations of exporting producers will be notified by the Commission, via the authorities of the country concerned if appropriate, of the companies selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation with regard to exporting producers, the Commission will send questionnaires to the exporting producers selected to be in the sample, to any known association of exporting producers, and to the authorities of the country concerned.

All exporting producers selected to be in the sample will have to submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

Without prejudice to the possible application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation, companies that have agreed to their possible inclusion in the sample but are not selected to be in the sample will be considered to be cooperating (‘non-sampled cooperating exporting producers’). Without prejudice to Section (b) below, the anti-dumping duty that may be applied to imports from non-sampled cooperating exporting producers will not exceed the weighted average margin of dumping established for the exporting producers in the sample (3).

(b)   Individual dumping margin for companies not included in the sample

Non-sampled cooperating exporting producers may request, pursuant to Article 17(3) of the basic Regulation, that the Commission establish their individual dumping margins (‘individual dumping margin’). The exporting producers wishing to claim an individual dumping margin must request a questionnaire and return it duly completed within 37 days of the date of notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified. The Commission will examine whether they can be granted an individual duty in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation. Those exporting producers in the non-market economy country who consider that market economy conditions prevail for them in respect of the manufacture and sale of the product under investigation, may submit a properly substantiated market economy treatment claim to this effect (‘MET claim’) and return it duly completed within the deadlines specified in Section 5.1.2.2 below.

However, exporting producers claiming an individual dumping margin should be aware that the Commission may nonetheless decide not to determine their individual dumping margin if, for instance, the number of exporting producers is so large that such determination would be unduly burdensome and would prevent the timely completion of the investigation.

5.1.2.   Additional procedure with regard to exporting producers in the non-market economy country concerned

5.1.2.1.   Selection of a market economy third country

Subject to the provisions of Section 5.1.2.2 below, in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, in the case of imports from the country concerned normal value will be determined on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country. For this purpose the Commission will select an appropriate market economy third country. The Commission has provisionally chosen the United Arab Emirates. Interested parties are hereby invited to comment on the appropriateness of this choice within 10 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. According to the information available to the Commission, there is production of the product under investigation also in Qatar and Turkey. With the aim of finally selecting the market economy third country the Commission will examine whether there is production and sales of the product under investigation in those market economy third countries for which there are indications that the production of the product under investigation is taking place.

5.1.2.2.   Treatment of exporting producers in the non-market economy country concerned

In accordance with Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, individual exporting producers in the country concerned, which consider that market economy conditions prevail for them in respect of the manufacture and sale of the product under investigation, may submit a properly substantiated market economy treatment claim to this effect (‘MET claim’). MET will be granted if the assessment of the MET claim shows that the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation (4) are fulfilled. The dumping margin of the exporting producers granted MET will be calculated, to the extent possible and without prejudice to the use of facts available pursuant to Article 18 of the basic Regulation, by using their own normal value and export prices in accordance with Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation.

The Commission will send MET claim forms to all the exporting producers the country concerned selected to be in the sample and to non-sampled cooperating exporting producers that wish to apply for an individual dumping margin, to any known association of exporting producers, and to the authorities of the country concerned. The Commission will assess only MET claim forms submitted by the exporting producers in the country concerned selected to be in the sample and by the non-sampled cooperating exporting producers whose request for an individual dumping margin has been accepted.

All exporting producers claiming MET must submit a completed MET claim form within 21 days of the date of the notification of the sample selection or of the decision not to select a sample, unless otherwise specified.

5.1.3.   Investigating unrelated importers  (5)  (6)

Unrelated importers of the product under investigation from the country concerned to the Union are invited to participate in this investigation.

In view of the potentially large number of unrelated importers involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission may limit to a reasonable number the unrelated importers that will be investigated by selecting a sample. The sampling will be carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all unrelated importers, or representatives acting on their behalf, are hereby requested to make themselves known to the Commission. These parties must do so within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified, by providing the Commission with the information on their companies requested in Annex II to this Notice.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for the selection of the sample of unrelated importers, the Commission may also contact any known associations of importers.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample, excluding the information requested above, must do so within 21 days of the publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

If a sample is necessary, the importers may be selected based on the largest representative volume of sales of the product under investigation in the Union which can reasonably be investigated within the time available. All known unrelated importers and associations of importers will be notified by the Commission of the companies selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the sampled unrelated importers and to any known association of importers. These parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of the notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

5.2.    Procedure for the determination of injury and investigating Union producers

A determination of injury is based on positive evidence and involves an objective examination of the volume of the dumped imports, their effect on prices on the Union market and the consequent impact of those imports on the Union industry. In order to establish whether the Union industry is injured, Union producers of the product under investigation are invited to participate in the Commission investigation.

In view of the large number of Union producers involved in this proceeding and in order to complete the investigation within the statutory time limits, the Commission has decided to limit to a reasonable number the Union producers that will be investigated by selecting a sample. The sampling is carried out in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.

The Commission has provisionally selected a sample of Union producers. Details can be found in the file for inspection by interested parties. Interested parties are hereby invited to consult the file (for this they should contact the Commission using the contact details provided in Section 5.6 below). Other Union producers, or representatives acting on their behalf, that consider that there are reasons why they should be included in the sample must contact the Commission within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

All interested parties wishing to submit any other relevant information regarding the selection of the sample must do so within 21 days of the publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified.

All known Union producers and/or associations of Union producers will be notified by the Commission of the companies finally selected to be in the sample.

In order to obtain information it deems necessary for its investigation, the Commission will send questionnaires to the sampled Union producers and to any known association of Union producers. These parties must submit a completed questionnaire within 37 days from the date of the notification of the sample selection, unless otherwise specified.

5.3.    Procedure for the assessment of Union interest

Should the existence of dumping and injury caused thereby be established, a decision will be reached, pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, as to whether the adoption of anti-dumping measures would not be against the Union interest. Union producers, importers and their representative associations, users and their representative associations, and representative consumer organisations are invited to make themselves known within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified. In order to participate in the investigation, the representative consumer organisations have to demonstrate, within the same deadline, that there is an objective link between their activities and the product under investigation.

Parties that make themselves known within the above deadline may provide the Commission with information on the Union interest within 37 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union, unless otherwise specified. This information may be provided either in a free format or by completing a questionnaire prepared by the Commission. In any case, information submitted pursuant to Article 21 will only be taken into account if supported by factual evidence at the time of submission.

5.4.    Other written submissions

Subject to the provisions of this Notice, all interested parties are hereby invited to make their views known, submit information and provide supporting evidence. Unless otherwise specified, this information and supporting evidence must reach the Commission within 37 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union.

5.5.    Possibility to be heard by the Commission investigation services

All interested parties may request to be heard by the Commission investigation services. Any request to be heard should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within the specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

6.   Non-cooperation

In cases where any interested party refuses access to or does not provide the necessary information within the time limits, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information may be disregarded and use may be made of facts available.

If an interested party does not cooperate or cooperates only partially and findings are therefore based on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the result may be less favourable to that party than if it had cooperated.

Failure to give a computerised response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. The interested party should immediately contact the Commission.

7.   Hearing Officer

Interested parties may request the intervention of the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings. The Hearing Officer acts as an interface between the interested parties and the Commission investigation services. The Hearing Officer reviews requests for access to the file, disputes regarding the confidentiality of documents, requests for extension of time limits and requests by third parties to be heard. The Hearing Officer may organise a hearing with an individual interested party and mediate to ensure that the interested parties' rights of defence are being fully exercised.

A request for a hearing with the Hearing Officer should be made in writing and should specify the reasons for the request. For hearings on issues pertaining to the initial stage of the investigation the request must be submitted within 15 days of the date of publication of this Notice in the Official Journal of the European Union. Thereafter, a request to be heard must be submitted within specific deadlines set by the Commission in its communication with the parties.

The Hearing Officer will also provide opportunities for a hearing involving parties to take place which would allow different views to be presented and rebuttal arguments offered on issues pertaining, among other things, to dumping, injury, causal link and Union interest. Such a hearing would, as a rule, take place at the latest at the end of the fourth week following the disclosure of provisional findings.

For further information and contact details interested parties may consult the Hearing Officer's web pages on DG Trade's website: http://ec.europa.eu/trade/trade-policy-and-you/contacts/hearing-officer/

3.4.   Specific steps in production that must take place in the defined geographical area

‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ extra virgin olive oil is produced from olives that are grown and pressed solely within the defined geographical area.

3.5.   Specific rules concerning slicing, grating, packaging, etc. of the product to which the registered name refers

‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ is bottled within the area to prevent the risk of it being impaired and losing its specific characteristics as a result of bulk transportation.

Very specific measures are taken to prevent any deterioration of the product, i.e.:

1.	The product is initially stored in numbered stainless steel tanks in the storage premises of the producers, who know how oxygen and light can affect the oil during storage.

2.	The tanks are sealed with sealing wax bearing the word ‘κυανούν’ (blue) and are sealed again where a tank is not completely emptied, to ensure product control.

3.	The product may not be decanted or transported in bulk outside the defined geographical area of production in order to reduce to a minimum the contact time between fat and oxygen at the air-oil interface, either in the transportation tank or during packaging.

4.	The product may not be transported outside the defined geographical area of production in transparent tanks or containers, in order to prevent exposure to direct sunlight, which can cause photooxidation.

5.

The bottles are sealed with sealing wax, the composition of which varies from one batch to the next (proportions of the components of the sealing wax, the method of sealing containers), so that there is no possibility of the product being counterfeited (control is thus facilitated) and to ensure its traceability.

The product is packaged in non-transparent containers made of glass, metal or ceramic material suitable for food use, or any other inert material provided it does not affect the contents and meets the commercial and/or legal requirements of the countries in which it is marketed.

3.6.   Specific rules concerning labelling of the product to which the registered name refers

In addition to meeting the requirements of European Union legislation, the labelling must include one of the following logos:

The producer code must also appear on the bottle and each bottle is numbered so that the consumer has more specific, precise information.

4.   Concise definition of the geographical area

The geographical area where ‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ is produced is defined by the administrative boundaries of Metaggitsi in the Municipality of Sithonia.

5.   Link with the geographical area

5.1.   Specificity of the geographical area

The specificity of the geographical area derives from the fact that it is enclosed by a river to the west, the sea to the east and to the north and south by hills.

Concerning the relief, in the tract of land that constitutes most of the area (1 820 ha) gradients are usually 1-15 % and in the area around this there are larger gradients which can be over 60 %. Thus most of the arable land is surrounded by hills. This forms a closed basin, which is protected from wet, easterly winds but at the same time maintains the low temperatures. The average temperature during the coldest month is 2,5 °C and the average during the hottest month is 22,5 °C. There are also early frosts, mainly due to the combination of climate and relief.

The climate is Mediterranean. However, it also has features of a continental climate with Mediterranean influence and precipitation is not especially abundant, with average annual rainfall ranging from 505 mm for the low altitudes to 662 mm for the higher altitudes. The period June-September is considered the driest with 119 to 169 mm of rainfall and the lowest rainfall is in September (20 mm to 29 mm). The Metaggitsi Halkidikis olive groves are planted on soil of Palaeozoic origin in the Vertiskos zone, formed from micaceous and biotic gneiss, granite, schist, quartzite, diorite and feldspars, which is moderately acid, with low pH values (5 and 6), while the other olive groves in the Halkidiki Prefecture are planted on alkaline calcareous soil with a pΗ of 7 or higher. From a mechanical point of view the soil is of light to medium texture and has good moisture levels, is well aired, moderately permeable, with good drainage and easy migration of water and soil solutions, and it is rich in phosphorus.

In addition, the Metaggitsi Chalkidikis olive groves are made up of at least 90 % of the Strongilolia (Galani, Prasinolia) olive variety, which is well established in the defined geographical area owing to the specific soil and climate conditions that prevail there, and a maximum of 10 % of the Chondrolia Chalkidikis variety. The dominant presence of the Strongilolia variety in the area is due to the microclimate and human activity, which literally shaped the arable land, combating soil acidity with organic and green manure and soil roughness with manual digging.

The Strongilolia is a large olive. The fruit are round-oval in shape, with no nipple, and ripen in November. The fruit is harvested early, when the fruit is green-violet, and it is cold pressed (the malaxation temperature does not exceed 27 °C). The weight ranges from 2,6 to 7,5 grams (average 4,6) and the oil content is 16 %. Strongilolia is used to produce both table olives and olive oil and is distinguished by its fruit and its leaves.

Chondrolia Chalkidikis is a large olive with a flesh-stone ratio of 7-10:1. Chondrolia Chalkidikis is used to produce both table olives and olive oil and is distinguished by its fruit and its leaves.

5.2.   Specificity of the product

‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ has the following characteristics:

—	at least 90 % of the oil comes from the Strongilolia (Galani, Prasinolia) variety,

—	a high oleic acid content (a minimum of 73 %),

—	a prevalence of unsaturated fatty acids (equal to or greater than 84 %) compared to saturated ones,

—	low percentages of linolenic acid (less than 1,0 %) and linoleic acid (less than 11 %),

—	average fruitiness, with a median value > 3, average pungency, median value > 3, and low to average bitterness, median value < 2,5. ‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ can be described as a mild oil, since its value for bitterness is usually < 2.

‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ is produced from olives that are harvested early, starting in October, when the fruit is green-violet, and it is cold pressed (the malaxation temperature does not exceed 27 °C).

5.3.   Causal link between the geographical area and the quality or characteristics of the product (for PDO) or a specific quality, the reputation or other characteristic of the product (for PGI)

‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ is characterised by the presence of the Strongilolia (Galani or Prasinolia) variety, which is grown commercially in the geographical area and almost nowhere else. The variety is well established in the area and accounts for almost all its olive trees, 90 % of total olives grown. The dominant presence of this variety in the area is due to the microclimate (drought, dry weather, early frosts, low temperatures, low pH values of the soil, relief) and human activity, which literally shaped the arable land, combating soil acidity with organic and green manure and soil roughness with manual digging. These soil and climate conditions produce a greater concentration of oleic acid (73 %) and lower concentrations of linolenic acid (less than 1,0 %) and linoleic acid (less than 11 %), giving ‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ olive oil greater oxidation stability.

The positive characteristics of ‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ olive oil are also due to the high phosphorus content of the soil. In addition, ‘Galano Metaggitsiou Chalkidikis’ extra virgin olive oil has a fresh, clean, distinct, fruity olive aroma, due to the low precipitation, which produces balanced aromas, the early harvest, which gives an intensely aromatic oil, and the pressing method used (cold pressing), which does not damage or destroy the aromatic components of the oil.
