THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,

Whereas:

(1) By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/325, the Commission imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of high tenacity yarns of polyesters originating in the People's Republic of China following an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036.

(2) However, Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/325 did not provide for the possibility of companies who did not export the high tenacity yarns of polyesters during the original investigation period to request a review to determine whether they could also be made subject to the duty rate imposed on the cooperating companies not part of the sample.

(3) Such a review could be carried out if sufficient evidence is brought to the Commission by a new exporter or producer in the exporting country in question that it (1) has not exported the product during the period of investigation on which the measures were based; (2) is not related to an exporter or producer subject to the measures imposed; and (3) has either actually exported the goods concerned or has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the period of investigation.

(4) It is therefore appropriate to amend Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/325 accordingly to allow new exporters the possibility to request such review.

(5) 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.

(6) In view of the above, Article 1 of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/325 should be amended accordingly,
