COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2022/469

of 23 March 2022

correcting Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/72 imposing definitive countervailing duties on imports of optical fibre cables originating in the People’s Republic of China and amending Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of optical fibre cables originating in the People’s Republic of China

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Union (1), and in particular Article 15 and Article 24(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/72 (2), the Commission imposed definitive countervailing duties on imports of optical fibre cables originating in the People’s Republic of China and amended Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2011 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of optical fibre cables originating in the People’s Republic of China (3).

(2)

The definitive countervailing duty rates, expressed on the CIF Union border price, customs duty unpaid, were established as follows:

Company

Countervailing duty rate

FTT Group:

FiberHome Telecommunication Technologies Co., Ltd.

Nanjing Wasin Fujikura Optical Communication Ltd.

Hubei Fiberhome Boxin Electronic Co., Ltd.

10,3  %

ZTT Group:

Jiangsu Zhongtian Technology Co., Ltd.

Zhongtian Power Optical Cable Co., Ltd.

5,1  %

Other companies cooperating in both anti-subsidy and anti-dumping investigation listed in Annex I

7,8  %

Other companies cooperating in the anti-dumping investigation but not in the anti-subsidy investigation listed in Annex II

10,3  %

All other companies

10,3  %

(3)

The countervailing duty rates indicated above are correct and have been disclosed to the parties in the course of the investigation. However, recitals (217) and (339) of Regulation (EU) 2022/72 included typographical errors as regards the subsidy rates of the FTT Group with respect to ‘grants’ and ‘preferential financing: loans’, respectively. The correct rates should be 1,88 % for ‘grants’ and 1,39 % for ‘preferential financing: loans’ instead of 1,79 % and 0,9 % respectively.

(4)

Furthermore, Article 2(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/72 included a typographical error regarding the TARIC additional code with respect to ‘all other companies’ in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2011, which should be C999 instead of C699.

(5)

Therefore, the Commission has decided to correct recitals (217) and (339) as well as Article 2(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/72, which amends Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2021/2011 accordingly. This rectification takes place from the entry into force of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2022/72, namely 20 January 2022.

(6)
