PURPOSE: to codify Council Regulation (CE) n° 452/2003 on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) 2015/477 of the European Parliament and of the Council on measures that the Union may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures (codification).

CONTENT: this Regulation codifies and repeals Council Regulation (EC) n° 452/2003 which has been substantially amended several times.

The importation of certain goods may be subject to both anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures on the one hand and safeguard tariff measures on the other. The new Regulation has specific provisions to enable the Commission, where it considers it appropriate, to take action with a view to ensuring that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on the same product does not impose on exporting producers seeking to export to the Union onerous burdens and to ensuring that they continue to have access to the Union market.

Where the Commission considers that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on the same imports could lead to effects greater than is desirable in terms of the Union's trade defence policy, it may adopt:

measures to amend, suspend or repeal existing anti-dumping and/or anti-subsidy measures; measures to exempt imports in whole or in part from anti-dumping or countervailing duties which would otherwise be payable; any other special measures considered appropriate in the circumstances.

Any amendment, suspension or exemption shall be limited in time and shall apply only when the relevant safeguard measures are in force.

In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers are conferred on the Commission.

ENTRY INTO FORCE: 16.4.2015.

The European Parliament adopted by 636 to 51, with 13 abstentions, a legislative resolution on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on measures that the Union may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures (codified text).

Parliament adopted its position at first reading following the ordinary legislative procedure taking over the Commission proposal as adapted to the recommendations of the Consultative Working Party of the legal services of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission.

According to the Consultative Working Party, the proposal in question contains a straightforward codification of the existing texts without any change in their substance.

The proposed regulation establishes specific rules to enable the Commission, where it considers it appropriate, to take action with a view to ensuring that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on the same product does not place an undesirably onerous burden on certain exporting producers seeking to export to the Union, which may have the effect of denying them access to the Union market.

PURPOSE: codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 of 6 March 2003 on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

BACKGROUND: Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 has been substantially amended several times. It is recalled that in 1987, the Commission decided to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement. The Edinburgh European Council in December 1992 confirmed the importance of codification as it offers certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.

CONTENT: in the interests of clarity and transparency of Union law, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures.

The new Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it ; it fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

The proposed Regulation establishes specific provisions to enable the Commission, where it considers it appropriate, to take action to avoid that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on one and the same product could place an undesirably onerous burden on certain exporting producers seeking to export to the Union, which may have the effect of denying them access to the Union market.

The Commission may consider it appropriate to: (i) amend, suspend or repeal antidumping and/or anti-subsidy measures or: (ii) provide for exemptions in whole or in part from any anti-dumping or countervailing duties which would otherwise be payable, or: (iii) adopt any other special measures.

Any suspension or amendment of, or exemption from, anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures should be granted only for a limited period of time.

  • PURPOSE: to codify Council Regulation (CE) n° 452/2003 on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures.

    LEGISLATIVE ACT: Regulation (EU) 2015/477 of the European Parliament and of the Council on measures that the Union may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures (codification).

    CONTENT: this Regulation codifies and repeals Council Regulation (EC) n° 452/2003 which has been substantially amended several times.

    The importation of certain goods may be subject to both anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures on the one hand and safeguard tariff measures on the other. The new Regulation has specific provisions to enable the Commission, where it considers it appropriate, to take action with a view to ensuring that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on the same product does not impose on exporting producers seeking to export to the Union onerous burdens and to ensuring that they continue to have access to the Union market.

    Where the Commission considers that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on the same imports could lead to effects greater than is desirable in terms of the Union's trade defence policy, it may adopt:

    • measures to amend, suspend or repeal existing anti-dumping and/or anti-subsidy measures;
    • measures to exempt imports in whole or in part from anti-dumping or countervailing duties which would otherwise be payable;
    • any other special measures considered appropriate in the circumstances.

    Any amendment, suspension or exemption shall be limited in time and shall apply only when the relevant safeguard measures are in force.

    In order to ensure uniform conditions for the implementation of this Regulation, implementing powers are conferred on the Commission. 

    ENTRY INTO FORCE: 16.4.2015.

PURPOSE: codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 of 6 March 2003 on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

CONTENT: in the interests of clarity and transparency of Union law, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures.

Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 has been substantially amended several times. It is recalled that in 1987, the Commission decided to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement. The Edinburgh European Council in December 1992 confirmed the importance of codification as it offers certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.

The new Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it; it fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

PROPOSED ACT: Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council.

ROLE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT: the European Parliament decides in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure and on an equal footing with the Council.

BACKGROUND: Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 has been substantially amended several times. It is recalled that in 1987, the Commission decided to instruct its staff that all acts should be codified after no more than ten amendments, stressing that this is a minimum requirement. The Edinburgh European Council in December 1992 confirmed the importance of codification as it offers certainty as to the law applicable to a given matter at a given time.

The European Parliament, the Council and the Commission agreed, by an interinstitutional agreement dated 20 December 1994, that an accelerated procedure may be used for the fast-track adoption of codification instruments.

CONTENT: in the interests of clarity and transparency of Union law, the purpose of this proposal is to undertake a codification of Council Regulation (EC) No 452/2003 on measures that the Community may take in relation to the combined effect of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard measures.

The new Regulation will supersede the various acts incorporated in it; it fully preserves the content of the acts being codified and hence does no more than bring them together with only such formal amendments as are required by the codification exercise itself.

The proposed Regulation establishes specific provisions to enable the Commission, where it considers it appropriate, to take action to avoid that a combination of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures with safeguard tariff measures on one and the same product could place an undesirably onerous burden on certain exporting producers seeking to export to the Union, which may have the effect of denying them access to the Union market.

The Commission may consider it appropriate to: (i) amend, suspend or repeal antidumping and/or anti-subsidy measures or: (ii) provide for exemptions in whole or in part from any anti-dumping or countervailing duties which would otherwise be payable, or: (iii) adopt any other special measures.

Any suspension or amendment of, or exemption from, anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures should be granted only for a limited period of time.
