In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling would be necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers were asked to make themselves known to the Commission and to provide, as specified in the notice of initiation, basic information on their activities related to the product under investigation during the investigation period from 1 October 2010 to 30 September 2011.
Et komisjon saaks otsustada, kas väljavõtteline uuring on vajalik, ning sel juhul koostada valimi, paluti kõigil eksportivatel tootjatel endast Euroopa Komisjonile teada anda ning esitada algatamisteates osutatud põhiandmed uurimisaluse tootega seotud tegevuse kohta uurimisalusel ajavahemikul (1. oktoobrist 2010 – 30. septembrini 2011).
