As explained above, none of the PRC exporting producers cooperated in the investigation.

As only two exporting producers from the PRC came forward with the requested information it was not necessary to select a sample of exporting producers.

In the original investigation a large number of exporting producers from the PRC made themselves known.

In view of the lack of cooperation of the PRC exporting producers no individual dumping margins could be calculated.

In this respect the following elements were analysed: the spare capacity of the PRC exporting producers; the attractiveness of the Union market for the PRC producers and their export to third countries.

Ten exporting producers or groups of exporting producers provided the requested information and agreed to be included in the sample.

Due to the lack of cooperation of PRC exporting producers, no other relevant information could be obtained with regard to the PRC exports to third countries.

Replies were received from four exporting producers in the PRC and one producer in the analogue country, Brazil.
