               First plea in law, alleging that the failure to provide access/disclose to the applicant information relevant to the normal value determination violates the rights of defense of the applicant and Articles 6(7), 20(2) and 20(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (OJ 2009 L 343, p. 51).
            
         
               2.
            
            
               Second plea in law, alleging that the rejection of certain adjustments requested by the applicant violates Article 2(10) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 and Article 2.4 of the WTO Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994.

               3.
            
            
               Third plea in law, alleging that the normal value determination for non-matching product types violates Articles 2(7)(a), 2(10) and 2(10)(a) and Articles 2(11) juncto 2(8), 2(9), 2(7)(a) and 9(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 and the principle of non-discrimination.

               Fourth plea in law, alleging that the failure to make a determination as to whether market economy conditions prevail for the applicant within three months of the initiation of the investigation violates Article 2(7) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.
            
         
               5.
            
            
               Fifth plea in law, alleging that the reliance on inaccurate import data for the injury determination violates Articles 3(1), 3(2) and 3(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.
