By Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, if it is not appropriate to use domestic prices and costs in the exporting country due to the existence in that country of significant distortions within the meaning of point (b), the normal value shall be constructed exclusively on the basis of costs of production and sale reflecting undistorted prices or benchmarks, subject to the following rules whereby the sources the Commission may use include: corresponding costs of production and sale in an appropriate representative country with a similar level of economic development as the exporting country, provided the relevant data are readily available.

Provides for the information required in applications for anti-dumping investigations, according to Article 39 of Decree No. 8058, dated July 26, 2013.
Subsection VIII
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.
