I overensstemmelse med artikel 3, stk. 7, i grundforordningen blev andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, der kunne have tilføjet EF-erhvervsgrenen skade, desuden undersøgt for at sikre, at skade, der forvoldes af disse andre faktorer, ikke fejlagtigt blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Furthermore, in accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation known factors other than the dumped imports, which might have injured the Community industry, were examined to ensure that any injury caused by those factors was not wrongly attributed to the dumped imports.
