Ltd (‘company concerned’), TARIC additional code B872, a company subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 41,3 % and an individual countervailing duty rate of 6,4 %, notified the Commission of its change of name to GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd\n(4)\nIn 2014, the company concerned was declared bankrupt. In February 2015, the company concerned was acquired by Jiangsu GCL Energy Co., Ltd which is part of a group of companies with the TARIC additional code B850.\n(5)\nThe company concerned argued that its change of name does not affect its right to continue to benefit from the individual anti-dumping duty and the individual countervailing duty rate applied to it.\n(6)\nHowever, as a consequence of the acquisition, the company concerned not only changed the name to GCL System Integration Technology Co., Ltd, but also became part of the group of the companies with the TARIC additional code B850.\n(7)\nBoth the company concerned and the group of the companies, mentioned in recital (4), are subject to an individual anti-dumping duty rate of 41,3 % and an individual countervailing duty rate of 6,4 %. Therefore, the Commission concluded that the change of name in no way affects the findings of Implementing Regulations (EU) No 1238/2013 and (EU) No 1239/2013.\n(8)\nThe Commission informed all interested parties of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to amend Implementing Regulations (EU) No 1238/2013 and (EU) No 1239/2013. Those parties were granted a period within which they could make comments on the disclosure. No party submitted comments.\n(9)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
