Det blev endvidere påstået, at klagerne fik en mere favorabel behandling, idet de ikke blev bedt om at indsende stikprøvebesvarelser ved indledningen af proceduren, og at klageren havde fået for stort råderum med hensyn til frister og kvaliteten af deres besvarelser, mens en eksportør i samme situation skulle evalueres på grundlag af foreliggende faktiske oplysninger, jf. grundforordningens artikel 18.
It was also claimed that the complainants were given more favourable treatment as they were not requested to submit sample forms at the initiation of the proceeding and that too much flexibility as concerned deadline and standard of responses were given to the complainant while an exporter in the same situation would have been assessed on the basis of best facts available under Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
