Capacity to raise funds or attract investments
Article 101. Indicate the investments made in the production line of the domestic like product during the period of injury investigation, setting forth the primary reasons for such investments (e.g.: environmental requirements, safety standards, technological updates, increased demand) throughout the concerned period and the manner in which these were financed (company resources, bank loans, debentures, etc.).

By Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, the Commission should produce, make public and regularly update reports on significant distortions, which could potentially result in an anti-dumping investigation, describing the market circumstances concerning those instances in a certain country or a certain sector. When assessing the existence of significant distortions, relevant international standards, including core conventions of the International Labour Organisation (ILO) and relevant multilateral environmental conventions, should be taken into account, where appropriate.

When data are sourced in representative countries and the Commission has to establish whether the level of social and environmental protection in such countries is adequate, it is necessary for the Commission to examine whether those countries comply with core ILO and relevant multilateral environmental conventions.
