30.4.2025

Question for written answer  E-001759/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Magdalena Adamowicz (PPE)

A Member State entity imports bicycle parts from China, including essential bicycle parts subject to anti-dumping duties. The entity then sends these parts to a bicycle assembler that the Commission has exempted from these duties on the basis of Article 7 of Regulation No 88/97 and TARIC code C053. In accordance with the legislation, exemption from extended duties applies if the parts are declared for free circulation by an exempted party or under the provisions on end-use control (Article 14).

In view of the above, could the Commission respond to the following questions:

• 1.Is it correct that exemption from extended duties requires the exempted party to oversee bicycle assembly, with this party receiving (without purchase/sale) essential bicycle parts through an importing entity that has an exemption for the final processing of goods?
• 2.Can the Commission confirm that the procedure described, including the transfer of bicycle parts from the importer to the bicycle assembler for acknowledgments of receipt for goods and the assembler providing the appropriate evidence, is in accordance with the requirements of Regulation No 88/97, particularly Article 2(1) and Article 14?
• 3.Can the Commission confirm that a condition for exemption is assembly by the exempted party, who takes delivery (without purchase/sale) of essential bicycle parts from the importer with end-use authorisation, and does this procedure comply with the requirements in relation to extended duty exemptions?
