PRODUCERS WITHIN THE COMMUNITY . IN ITS SUBMISSION , THERE ARE ONLY TWO MEANS WHEREBY THE COMMISSION CAN GRANT SUCH A TONNAGE : IT CAN EITHER DEDUCT IT FROM THE TOTAL TONNAGE FOR A QUARTER OR INCREASE THAT TONNAGE BY 25 000 TONNES ; THIS WOULD , IN THE FIRST CASE , REDUCE THE TOTAL PRODUCTION TO BE SHARED AMONG THE OTHER COMMUNITY UNDERTAKINGS BY 25 000 TONNES AND , IN THE SECOND CASE , LEAD TO A FALL IN PRICES .
31 THE APPLICANT CLAIMS THAT THE DAMAGE WHICH IT WILL SUFFER IS IRREPARABLE IN SO FAR AS THE GRANTING OF THE ADDITIONAL QUOTAS WILL ADVERSELY AFFECT THE ECONOMIC SITUATION OF THE STEEL MARKET AND ITS POSITION IN THAT MARKET IN SUCH A WAY THAT THE ANNULMENT OF ARTICLES 14 D AND 14 C WILL NOT MAKE IT POSSIBLE FOR IT TO REGAIN THE POSITION WHICH IT WOULD HAVE HELD IF THOSE ARTICLES HAD NOT BEEN APPLIED .
32 AT THE HEARING THE COMMISSION DID NOT DENY THAT THERE HAD BEEN A SLIGHT REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF CATEGORY II SHEET FOR THE PERIOD IN WHICH IT GRANTED ADDITIONAL QUOTAS TO DDS PURSUANT TO ARTICLES 14 D AND 14 C , BUT STRESSED THAT THE PRICE REDUCTION HAD APPLIED TO ALL CATEGORIES OF STEEL PRODUCTS AND WAS NOT LIMITED TO CATEGORY II PRODUCTS .
33 IT ALSO STATED THAT THE ADDITIONAL QUOTAS GRANTED TO DDS HAD BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT WHEN THE ABATEMENT RATE APPLIED TO THE REFERENCE QUANTITIES OF STEEL UNDERTAKINGS WAS FIXED . ACCORDING TO ITS CALCULATIONS , THE ADDITIONAL QUOTAS GRANTED TO DDS ONLY AFFECTED THE ABATEMENT RATE BY ONE PERCENTAGE POINT . IF THOSE QUOTAS HAD NOT BEEN GRANTED , THE RATE WOULD HAVE BEEN 48% INSTEAD OF 49% . THE APPLICANT WOULD THEREFORE HAVE RECEIVED 950 ADDITIONAL TONNES PER QUARTER IF THOSE ADDITIONAL QUOTAS HAD NOT BEEN GRANTED TO DDS AND IF THERE HAD BEEN THAT REDUCTION OF ONE PERCENTAGE POINT IN THE ABATEMENT RATE .
34 FROM THE CIRCUMSTANCES SET OUT ABOVE , AND IN PARTICULAR THOSE SET OUT IN PARAGRAPH 33 , IT MUST BE CONCLUDED THAT , ALTHOUGH THE APPLICANT HAS SUCCEEDED IN ESTABLISHING THAT IT HAS SUFFERED FINANCIAL LOSS AS A RESULT OF THE GRANTING OF ADDITIONAL QUOTAS TO DDS , IT NEVERTHELESS HAS NOT SUCCEEDED , AS THE COMMISSION HAS RIGHTLY STRESSED , IN PUTTING FORWARD ARGUMENTS FROM WHICH IT MIGHT BE INFERRED THAT IT HAS SUFFERED SERIOUS AND IRREPARABLE DAMAGE .
35 IT HAS NOT BEEN ABLE TO ESTABLISH CLEARLY THAT THE REDUCTION IN THE PRICE OF CATEGORY II SHEET WHICH OCCURRED DURING THE PERIOD IN WHICH DDS WAS GRANTED ADDITIONAL QUOTAS WAS EXCLUSIVELY OR LARGELY DUE TO THOSE ADDITIONAL QUOTAS OR THAT THEY CONSIDERABLY REDUCED ITS MARKET SHARE WITHIN THE COMMUNITY .
36 IT FOLLOWS FROM THE FOREGOING THAT THE APPLICANT HAS NOT PUT FORWARD ANY CONCLUSIVE ARGUMENT DEMONSTRATING THAT IT WOULD SUFFER SERIOUS AND IRREPARABLE DAMAGE OWING TO THE COMMISSION ' S GRANTING TO DDS ,
