Selv om det ikke anfægtes, at nogle besvarelser var mere detaljerede end andre, var de alle mangelfulde i én altoverskyggende henseende, idet de ikke gjorde det muligt for Kommissionen at foretage en nøjagtig fastsættelse af den normale værdi eller af eksportprisen på grund af den måde, på hvilken de enkelte varer og transaktioner var grupperet.
Although it is not disputed that some replies were more detailed than others, they were all deficient in one, overriding respect: they did not allow the Commission to arrive at an accurate determination either of normal value or of the export price because of the way in which individual products and transactions had been grouped together.
