I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 23, stk. 3, bør vurderingen af, om der forekom omgåelse, foretages ved at analysere, om der er sket en ændring i mønstret for handelen mellem USA, Canada og Unionen, om denne ændring skyldtes en praksis, forarbejdning eller bearbejdning, for hvilken der ikke forelå nogen tilstrækkelig gyldig grund eller økonomisk begrundelse ud over indførelsen af tolden, om der forelå beviser for skade eller for, at virkningerne af tolden undergraves i henseende til priserne på og/eller mængderne af samme vare, og om der fortsat ydes subsidier til de indførte mængder af samme vare.
In accordance with Article 23(3) of the basic Regulation, the assessment of the existence of circumvention should be made by analysing successively whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between USA, Canada and the Union, if this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty, if there was evidence of injury or that the remedial effects of the duty were being undermined in terms of the prices and/or quantities of the like product, and that the imported like product still benefits from the subsidy.
