Proposal for a Council Implementing Regulation amending Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1008/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People’s Republic of China following a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) 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 partial interim review proceeding concerning the anti-dumping duty in force in respect of imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China.

On 14 February 2011, the Commission initiated ex-officio a partial interim review of the anti-dumping duty in force in respect of imports of hand pallet trucks and their essential parts originating in the People's Republic of China.

The review investigation, which was limited in scope to the examination of dumping, found because of changed circumstances of a lasting nature continuing dumping at higher level.

Therefore, it is suggested that the Council adopts the attached proposal for a Regulation in order to amend the existing measures, which should be published in the Official Journal of the European Union by 13 May 2013 at the latest.
