The investigation revealed no facts showing that the situation regarding normal value, export prices and consequently the dumping margins established in the original investigation, the anti-absorption investigation and the anti-circumvention investigation have significantly changed. It is therefore concluded that, should the measures be repealed, there is a likelihood of recurrence of dumping.
EEC Anti-Dumping Enforcement: II. Codification of the Administrative Practice
The new rule provides that additional anti-dumping duties may be imposed where it is found that the anti-dumping duty has been borne by the exporter in whole or in part. In other words, the additional duty is an anti-absorption duty. It is meant to compensate for the amount of the duty borne by the exporter.
The preamble to the newly codified Anti-Dumping Regulation states: "Experience has shown that it is necessary to prevent the effectiveness of anti-dumping duties being eroded by the duty being borne by exporters. It is appropriate to confirm that, in such circumstances, additional anti-dumping duties may be imposed, where necessary retroactively."
