As a result the Commission selected a sample of Chinese exporting producers to be investigated.\n(3)\nThe Council imposed individual duty rates on imports of tableware ranging from 13,1 % to 23,4 % on the sampled companies, and a weighted average duty of 17,9 % on other cooperating companies not included in the sample. In addition, a duty rate of 36,1 % was imposed on imports of tableware from all other Chinese companies.\n(4)\nArticle 3 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 412/2013 states that where any new exporting producer of tableware in the PRC provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that:\n(1) it did not export to the Union ceramic tableware and kitchenware during the investigation period from 1 January 2011 to 31 December 2011 (‘the investigation period’);\n(2) it is not related to any of the exporters or producers in the PRC which are subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by that Regulation; and\n(3) it has actually exported to the Union the product concerned after the investigation period on which the measures are based, or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union;\nthen Article 1(2) of that Regulation can be amended by granting the new exporting producer the duty rate applicable to the cooperating companies not included in the sample, in this case the weighted average duty rate of 17,9 %.\nB.\nREQUESTS FOR NEW EXPORTING PRODUCER TREATMENT\n(5)\nFour companies came forward after the publication of Regulation (EU) No 412/2013 claiming that they met all three criteria set out above in recital 4 and provided supporting evidence.\n(6)\nAll four companies were manufacturers and exporters of the product concerned.\n(7)\nThree of them already existed during the original investigation but claimed that they did not export the product concerned to the Union at that time.\n(8)\nThe fourth company claimed that it did not exist during the original investigation period and therefore could not have exported during the investigation period.\n(9)\nThe Commission analysed the evidence submitted by all the four companies and found that they meet the three criteria to be considered as new exporting producers. Consequently, their names should be added to the list of cooperating companies not included in the sample in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 412/2013.\n(10)\nThe Commission informed the four companies and the Union industry of these findings and they were given an opportunity to comment. No comments were received.\n(11)\nThis Regulation is in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
