Proposal for a Council Implementing Regulation imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People’s Republic of China

This proposal concerns the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community ('the basic Regulation') in the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People's Republic of China.

This proposal is made in the context of the implementation of the basic Regulation and is the result of an investigation which was carried out in line with the substantive and procedural requirements laid out in the basic Regulation.

On 16 February 2012 the Commission initiated an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of ceramic tableware and kitchenware originating in the People's Republic of China. The Commission imposed provisional anti-dumping duties on these imports by Regulation (EU) No 1072/2012 of 14 November 2012.

The attached proposal for a Council Regulation is based on the definitive findings which have confirmed the existence of dumping causing injury, and the fact that the imposition of measures is not against the overall Union interest. Although the product scope and the final duty rates have been amended, the provisional findings were confirmed.
