In addition, in accordance with the EAEU Treaty, the interested persons may, within 60 calendar days from the date of initiation of the investigation, submit comments related to the investigation information to the Department of EEC (in writing, in Russian, in a confidential and non-confidential version). Shareholders in an investigation are producers and consumers and importers of the product in question.
Producers and consumers, in order to protect their interests, may submit documents and information related to the investigation, to participate in consultations with the competent authority and the other members of the investigation.
Department Economic Integration notes that the anti-dumping measure may be applied to the product upon establishment during the investigation of the following facts:
• the goods are delivered to the EAEU at dumping prices;
• material damage is applied or there is a threat of such damage to sector of the economy of the Union;
• there is a causal link between the dumped imports and material damage caused to the industry within the Union.
In this regard, the participation of all interested parties (producers and consumers) and presentation of relevant information is an essential factor in determining the conclusion of the investigation, since their absence could lead to negative consequences, reflected in the fact that the information may not be taken into account by the EEC Department during the investigation, and preliminary and a final conclusion on the results of the investigation could be based on some of the available information at the EEC Department.
