Whereas:

The Council, by Regulation (EC) No 192/2007^f2, imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain polyethylene terephtalate originating in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Republic of Korea, Thailand and Taiwan following an expiry review and a partial interim review.

The Commission, by Decision 2013/223/EU^f9, withdrew the acceptance of the undertakings in relation to the companies Polypet and Futura. Therefore, Regulation (EC) No 192/2007 should be amended accordingly,
