Proposal for a regulation
Recital 8
Recital 8
(8) Third countries increasingly interfere in trade. Significant State interferences inter alia involving prices, costs and inputs, research and labour, outputs, sales and investments, currency exchange rate manipulations and unfair trade finance conditions, further distort regular course of trade and may have a severe impact on Union's producers . As an example, third countries increasingly interfere in trade of raw materials with a view to keeping raw materials in those countries for the benefit of domestic downstream users, for instance by imposing export taxes or operating dual pricing schemes on energy. As a result, the costs of raw materials do not result from the operation of normal market forces reflecting supply and demand for a given raw material. Such interference creates additional distortions of trade. As a consequence, Union producers are not only harmed by dumping, but suffer, compared to downstream producers from third countries engaged in such practices, additional distortions of trade. In order to protect trade adequately, the lesser duty rule shall not apply in such cases of structural raw material distortions.

(9) Within the Union, countervailable subsidies are in principle prohibited pursuant to Article 107 (1) TFEU. Therefore, countervailable subsidies granted by third countries are particularly distortive of trade. The amount of State aid authorized by the Commission has steadily been reduced over time. For the anti- subsidy instrument, the lesser duty rule should hence no longer be applied to imports from a country/countries engaged in subsidisation.
