PART 4Injury and causation

Determination of injury

30.—(1) For the purpose of this Part, the TRA must determine whether a UK industry has suffered or is suffering injury during the injury period.

(2) In order to determine whether a UK industry is suffering or has suffered injury the TRA must consider—

(a)the volume of the dumped goods or subsidised imports during the injury period;

(b)the effect of the dumped goods or subsidised imports on prices of the like goods in the United Kingdom during the injury period;

(c)the consequent impact of the dumped goods or subsidised imports on a UK industry during the injury period; and

(d)any other factors it considers relevant.

(3) The TRA must conduct its examination only by reference to data that relates to the production of the like goods in the United Kingdom which are not exported from the United Kingdom, but where data relating to the like goods cannot be separated from data relating to a wider category of goods, which includes the like goods, the TRA may use the data relating to that wider category of goods.

(4) For the purpose of this Part, the “injury period” is the period of investigation taking account of developments in the three twelve month periods preceding the period of that investigation unless the TRA considers that it is appropriate to use an alternative period, in which case the injury period means that alternative period.
