Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in Taiwan following a ‘new exporter’ review pursuant to Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009

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 'new exporter' review of Council Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of polyethylene terephthalate originating, inter alia, in Taiwan.

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.

By Regulation (EC) No 2604/2000 the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephthalate (PET) originating in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Taiwan and Thailand (the countries concerned) pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation.

Following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 192/2007, decided that the above mentioned measures should be maintained.

By notice, published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 24 February 2012, the Commission initiated an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation of the above measures. This investigation is still on-going.
