Imports of certain rainbow trout originating in Turkey are subject to definitive countervailing duties imposed by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/823 (2).

BAFA Su Ürünleri Yavru Üretim Merkezi Sanayi Ticaret AŞ (‘Bafa’), TARIC (3) additional code B965, a company subject to an individual countervailing duty rate of 1,5 % (4), informed the Commission that after a merger with its parent company, it had changed its name to Kılıç Deniz Ürünleri Üretimi İhracat İthalat ve Ticaret A.Ş.

(3)

The company, following the change of its name (5), requested on 19 October 2020 the Commission to confirm that the change of name does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the individual countervailing duty rate applied to it under its previous name.

(4)

The Commission examined the information supplied and concluded that the change of name was properly registered with the relevant authorities, took place within the group of companies of which Bafa was part, and did not result in any new relationship with other groups of companies, which were not investigated by the Commission.

(5)

Accordingly, this change of name does not affect the findings of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/823 and in particular the countervailing duty rate applicable to it. The evidence in the file also confirmed that the change of the name was applicable as of 31 August 2020, as that day the change was recorded in the Bodrum Commercial Registry.

(6)

Given the considerations in the above recital, the Commission considered it appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/823 to reflect the changed name of the company previously attributed to additional TARIC code B965.

(7)

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6),
