Notice concerning the anti-dumping measures in force in respect of imports into the Union of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in Malaysia: change of the name of a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate

2010/C 266/04

Imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate originating in Malaysia are subject to a definitive anti-dumping duty, imposed by Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 (1) (‘Regulation (EC) No 192/2007’).

Hualon Corporation (M) Sdn. Bhd. (‘Hualon’), a company located in Malaysia, whose exports to the Union of certain polyethylene terephthalate are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty of EUR 36,0 per tonne imposed by Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007, has informed the Commission that after being put into receivership, on 23 July 2008 all its Malaysian assets and liabilities were taken over by Recron (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd. (‘Recron’), who became the legal successor.

Hualon has argued that the take over and the change of name does not affect the activities of the company with regard to the product concerned and therefore the right of Recron to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty rate applied to Hualon by Regulation (EC) No 192/2007.

The Commission has examined the information provided and, considering that the company requesting a name change has been taken over by a company which did not produce the product concerned before, has concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007. Therefore, the reference in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 to:

Hualon Corp. (M) Sdn. Bhd.

should be read as:

Recron (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.

The TARIC additional code A186 previously attributed to Hualon Corp. (M) Sdn. Bhd. shall apply to Recron (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.
