The reassess- ment shows that injurious dumping still exists although at lower levels. It is recalled that the investigation of dumping covered the period from 1 July 1995 to 30 June 1996 (1P). The investigation relating to the parameters relevant in the context of the injury assessment covered the period from 1 January 1992 up to the end of the IP (30 June 1996). This period will be referred to as ‘the period considered’.
