I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 13, stk. 1, blev vurderingen af, om der forekom omgåelse, foretaget ved successivt at analysere, om der var sket en ændring i mønstret for handelen mellem Kina, Taiwan 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 den undersøgte vare, og om der var bevis for dumping i forhold til de normale værdier, der blev fastslået i den oprindelige undersøgelse, om fornødent i overensstemmelse med bestemmelserne i grundforordningens artikel 2.
In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the assessment of the existence of circumvention was made by analysing successively whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC, Taiwan and the Union; if that 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 product under investigation; and whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal values previously established for the product concerned in the original investigation, if necessary in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the basic Regulation.
