Det blev påstået, at der ikke var en kraftig stigning i den kinesiske import, men derimod en gradvis stigning over flere år, og derfor var virkningen forholdsvis begrænset, hvilket ikke burde overdrives med henblik på fastlæggelsen af skaden.
It was argued that there was no surge of Chinese imports but rather these grew gradually over the years and therefore their impact was quite limited which should not be exaggerated for the purpose of the injury determination.
