Form of order sought

The applicants claim that the Court should:






—


annul Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2025/1919 of 25 September 2025 imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and definitively collecting the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain hot-rolled flat products of iron, non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in Egypt, Japan and Vietnam, and terminating the investigation on imports thereof originating in India; (1)











—


order the Commission to pay the applicants’ costs.





Pleas in law and main arguments

In support of the action, the applicants rely on three pleas in law.






1.


First plea in law, alleging that the Commission violated Article 2(10) and Article 2(10)(j) of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 (2) (‘Basic Regulation’) and made a manifest error of assessment in applying the currency conversion adjustment and failing to conduct a fair comparison between the export price and normal value when establishing the dumping margin in relation to the applicants and imports originating in Egypt.










2.


Second plea in law, alleging that the Commission violated Article 3 and Article 9 of the Basic Regulation and made a manifest error of law in carrying out a cumulative assessment of the effects of imports from Egypt with those of imports from Japan and Vietnam and determining that the injury from imports from Egypt was not negligible.










3.


Third plea in law, alleging that the Commission violated the applicants’ rights of defence and the principle of good administration by not making available information relevant to their defence, relating to the applicable date for the exchange rate for the export price, until too late in the process for the applicants to have adequate opportunity to defend their interest, and by failing to carry out an impartial and careful examination of the circumstances related to the correct exchange rate date.
