The Commission confirmed that, on the one hand, all GOES that was imported through inward processing schemes was taken into account for the calculation of the consumption data.
On the other hand, the Commission noted that steel laminations and cores fall outside the scope of the anti-dumping measures and were therefore not investigated.
