4. Where any new exporting producer in the People's Republic of China provides sufficient evidence to the Commission that: (a) it did not export to the Union the product described in paragraph 1 in the period between 1 July 2009 and 30 June 2010 (original investigation period), (b) it is not related to any exporter or producer in the People's Republic of China which is subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by this Regulation, (c) it has actually exported to the Union the product concerned or it has entered into an irrevocable contractual obligation to export a significant quantity to the Union after the end of the original investi ...[+++]gation period, the Commission may amend the Annex I by adding the new exporting producer to the cooperating companies not included in the sample of the original investigation and thus subject to the weighted average duty of not exceeding 56.9 %.

Moreover, in the original investigation, the USA was specifically not selected, because, as outlined in recital (48) of the provisional regulation of the original investigation , the US producers relied on imports of basic raw materials and finished products from the EU parent companies, and maintained a limited production activity in the USA, mainly to respond to customized or time-critical orders.

The Commission thus concluded that the Union industry has benefitted from the original measures, as it showed some improvements throughout the period considered (in particular in 2013 and 2014) in comparison to the situation found during the original investigation period (2010).

Following an anti-dumping investigation (‘the original investigation’), by Regulation (EU) No 1331/2011 , the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of stainless steel originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the PRC’ or ‘country concerned’).
