D.   GROUNDS

GROUNDS

| (6) | The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via, and assembly operations in, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines. |
| --- | --- |

(6)

The request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the anti-dumping measures on imports of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China are being circumvented by means of transhipment via, and assembly operations in, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines.

| (7) | The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows. |
| --- | --- |

(7)

The prima facie evidence submitted is as follows.

| (8) | The request shows that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China, Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines to the Union has taken place following the imposition of the measures and their extension, by Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 501/2013 (3), to imports consigned from Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Tunisia, whether declared as originating in these countries or not, without sufficient due cause or economic justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty. |

This change appears to stem from the transhipment of bicycles originating in the People's Republic of China via Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines to the Union and from assembly operations in Cambodia, Pakistan and the Philippines.

| (10) | Furthermore, the request contains sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures on the product concerned are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price. Significant volumes of imports of the product under investigation appear to have replaced imports of the product concerned. In addition, there is sufficient prima facie evidence that imports of the product under investigation are made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures. |
