Amending regulation (EU) 2016/1037 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Union, whereby when establishing the target price, the actual cost of production of the Union industry, which results from multilateral environmental agreements, and protocols thereunder, to which the Union is a party, shall be duly reflected.
