"Question no 43 by Johan Van Hecke () PET (plastic) bottles are made from 'preforms'. In the European Union, a general import duty rate of 6.5% applies to such preforms. The EU grants certain countries, such as Ukraine, a preferential rate of 0% if a certificate of origin (Form A) can be produced for the preforms. In the case of Ukraine, the form means that the preforms have been made from material originating in Ukraine or at least elsewhere in Europe. I have established that preforms are currently being imported into the European Union from Ukraine under cover of Form A (certificate of origin) at implausibly low prices, bearing in mind current European commodity prices. This must therefore involve dumping and/or fraud in the completion of the certificates of origin (material from Asia being used) in order to evade import duty, to the detriment of other suppliers. Is the Commission aware of this? Will it investigate the matter and take the necessary action? Will it raise the matter with the Ukraine authorities and, if appropriate, refer it to OLAF?"@en1
