In reply to this claim it should be noted that the Commission, as per established practice, first examined whether there is a causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry and secondly examined whether any of the other known factors had broken the causal link established between the material injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports.
Vastuseks sellele väitele tuleks märkida, et komisjon kontrollis väljakujunenud tava kohaselt esiteks seda, kas dumpinguhinnaga impordi ja liidu tootmisharu kantud kahju vahel on põhjuslik seos, ning teiseks seda, kas mõne muu teadaoleva teguri tõttu oli katkenud olulist kahju kandnud liidu tootmisharu ja dumpinguhinnaga impordi vaheline põhjuslik seos.
