3.   FINDINGS

FINDINGS

| (17) | As for criterion (a) as referred to in recital (10), the evidence confirmed that the applicant is a genuine producer of biodiesel in Canada. It was established in 2019 following an asset purchase agreement by which it purchased an existing biodiesel production plant. Moreover, the investigation confirmed that the applicant only started its biodiesel production in August 2019. Consequently, the applicant did not exist at the time of the original investigation period and could not have exported biodiesel to the Union during that period (1 April 2009 to 30 June 2010). Hence, the applicant complied with criterion (a). |
