Article 18 
Non-cooperation 1. In cases in which any interested party refuses access to, or otherwise does not provide, necessary information within the time limits as provided for in this Regulation, or significantly impedes the investigation, provisional or final findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of the facts available. Where it is found that any interested party has supplied false or misleading information, the information shall be disregarded and use may be made of facts available. Interested parties should be made aware of the consequences of non-cooperation. 2. A lack of a computerized response shall not be deemed to constitute non-cooperation, provided that the interested party shows that presenting the response as requested would result in an unreasonable extra burden or unreasonable additional cost. 3. Where the information presented by an interested party may not be ideal in all respects it should not be disregarded, provided that any deficiencies are not such as to cause undue difficulty in arriving at a reasonably accurate finding and provided the information is appropriately submitted in timely fashion, it is verifiable and the party has acted to the best of its ability. 4. If evidence or information is not accepted, the supplying party should be informed forthwith of the reasons therefor and should be granted an opportunity to provide further explanations within the time limit specified. If the explanations are considered unsatisfactory, the reasons for rejection of such evidence or information should be disclosed and given in any published findings. 5. If determinations, including those with respect to normal value, are based on the provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article, including the information supplied in the complaint, it should, where practicable and with due regard to the time limits of the investigation, be checked by reference to information from other independent sources which may be available, such as published price lists, official import statistics and customs returns, or information obtained from other interested parties during the investigation. 6. If an interested party does not cooperate, or only cooperates partially, and thus relevant information is being withheld, the result could be less favourable to the party than if it had cooperated. Article 19 Confidentiality 1. Any information which is by nature confidential, (for example, because its disclosure would be of significant competitive advantage to a competitor or because its disclosure would have a significantly adverse effect upon a person supplying the information or upon a person from whom he acquired the information) or which is provided on a confidential basis by parties to an investigation shall, upon good cause shown, be treated as such by the authorities. 2. Interested parties providing confidential information shall be required to furnish non-confidential summaries thereof. These summaries shall be in sufficient detail to permit a reasonable understanding of the substance of the information submitted in confidence. In exceptional circumstances, such parties may indicate that such information is not susceptible of summary. In such exceptional circumstances, a statement of the reasons why summarization is not possible must be provided. 3. If it is considered that a request for confidentiality is not warranted and if the supplier of the information is either unwilling to make the information available or to authorize its disclosure in generalized or summary form, such information may be disregarded unless it can be satisfactorily demonstrated from appropriate sources that the information is correct. Requests for confidentiality should not be arbitrarily rejected. 4. This Article shall not preclude the disclosure of general information by the Community authorities and in particular of the reasons on which decisions taken pursuant to this Regulation are based, or disclosure of the evidence relied on by the Community authorities in so far as necessary to explain those reasons in court proceedings. Such disclosure must take into account the legitimate interest of the parties concerned that their business secrets should not be divulged. 5. The Council, the Commission and Member States, or the officials of any of these, shall not reveal any information received pursuant to this Regulation for which confidential treatment has been requested by its supplier, without specific permission from the supplier. Exchanges of information between the Commission and Member States or any information relating to consultations made pursuant to Article 15 or any internal documents prepared by the authorities of the Community or its Member States shall not be divulged except as specifically provided for in this Regulation. 6. Information received pursuant to this Regulation shall be used only for the purpose for which it was requested. Article 20 Disclosure 1. The complainants, importers and exporters and their representative associations, and representatives of the exporting country may request disclosure of the details underlying the essential facts and considerations, on the basis of which provisional measures have been imposed. Requests for such disclosure shall be made in writing immediately following the imposition of provisional measures and the disclosure shall be made in writing as soon as possible thereafter. 2. The parties mentioned in paragraph 1, may request final disclosure of the essential facts and considerations, on the basis of which it is intended to recommend the imposition of definitive measures, or the termination of an investigation or proceedings without the imposition of measures, with particular attention being paid to the disclosure of any facts or considerations which are different from those used for any provisional measures. 3. Requests for final disclosure, as defined in paragraph 2, shall be addressed to the Commission in writing and be received, in cases where a provisional duty has been applied, not later than one month after publication of the imposition of that duty. Where a provisional duty has not been applied, parties shall be provided with an opportunity to request final disclosure within time limits set by the Commission. 4. Final disclosure shall be given in writing. It shall be made, with due regard being paid to the protection of confidential information, as soon as possible and, normally, not later than one month prior to a definitive decision or the submission by the Commission of any proposal for final action pursuant to Article 9. Where the Commission is not in a position to disclose certain facts or considerations at that time, these shall be disclosed as soon as possible thereafter. Disclosure shall not prejudice any subsequent decision which may be taken by the Commission or the Council but where such decision is based on any different facts and considerations, these shall be disclosed as soon as possible. 5. Representations made after final disclosure is given shall be taken into consideration only if received within a period to be set by the Commission in each case, which shall be at least 10 days, due consideration being given to the urgency of the matter. Article 21 Community interest 1. Pursuant to this Regulation, a determination as to whether the Community interest calls for intervention shall be based on an appreciation of all the various interests taken as a whole, including the interests of the domestic industry and users and consumers, and a determination pursuant to this Article shall only be made where all parties have been given the opportunity to make their views known pursuant to paragraph 2. In such an examination, the need to eliminate the trade distorting effects of injurious dumping and to restore effective competition shall be given special consideration. Measures, as determined on the basis of the dumping and injury found, may not be applied, where the authorities, on the basis of all the information submitted, can clearly conclude that it is not in the Community interest to apply such measures. 2. In order to provide a sound basis on which the authorities can take account of all views and information in the decision on whether, or not the imposition of measures is in the Community interest, the complainants, importers and their representative associations, representative users and representative consumer organizations may, within the time limits specified in the notice of initiation of the anti-dumping investigation, make themselves known and provide information to the Commission. Such information, or appropriate summaries thereof, shall be made available to the other parties specified in this Article, and they shall be entitled to respond to such information. 3. The parties which have acted in conformity with paragraph 2 may request a hearing. Such requests shall be granted when they are submitted within the time limits set in paragraph 2, and when they set out the reasons, in terms of the Community interest, why the parties should be heard. 4. The parties which have acted in conformity with paragraph 2, may provide comments on the application of any provisional duties imposed. Such comments shall be received within one month of the application of such measures if they are to be taken into account and they, or appropriate summaries thereof, shall be made available to other parties who shall be entitled to respond to such comments. 5. The Commission shall examine the information which is properly submitted and the extent to which it is representative and the results of such analysis, together with an opinion on its merits, shall be transmitted to the Advisory Committee. The balance of views expressed in the Committee shall be taken into account by the Commission in any proposal made pursuant to Article 9. 6. The parties which have acted in conformity with paragraph 2 may request the facts and considerations on which final decisions are likely to be taken to be made available to them. Such information shall be made available to the extent possible and without prejudice to any subsequent decision taken by the Commission or the Council. 7. Pursuant to this Article, information shall only be taken into account where it is supported by actual evidence which substantiates its validity. Article 22 Final provisions This Regulation shall not preclude the application of: (i) any special rules laid down in agreements concluded between the Community and third countries; (ii) the Community Regulations in the agricultural sector and Regulation (EEC) No 1059/69 of the Council of 28 May 1969 laying down the trade arrangements applicable to certain goods resulting from the processing of agricultural products (1), Regulation (EEC) No 2730/75 of the Council of 29 October 1975 on glucose and lactose (2) and Regulation (EEC) No 2783/75 of the Council of 29 October 1975 on the common system of trade for ovalbumin and lactalbumin (3); this Regulation shall operate by way of complement to those Regulations and in derogation from any provisions thereof which preclude the application of anti-dumping duties; (iii) special measures, provided that such action does not run counter to obligations pursuant to the GATT. Article 23 Repeal of existing legislation Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 is hereby repealed. References to the repealed Regulation shall be construed as references to this Regulation. Article 24 Entry into force This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 January 1995. It shall apply to proceedings and interim review investigations initiated after 1 September 1994 and to expiry review investigations for which the notice of impending expiry of measures has been published after the same date. However, for proceedings initiated pursuant to Article 5 (9), the references to time limits shall only apply after a date which the Council shall specify in a Decision to be adopted by a qualified majority no later than 1 April 1995 on the basis of a Commission proposal to be submitted to the Council once the necessary budgetary resources have been made available. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States. Done at Brussels, 22 December 1994. For the Council The President H.
