I do not know if the Commission is in a position to comment on the proposed anti-dumping measures.

My starting point is that the anti-dumping measures and instruments need to be taken quite seriously.

This is what will happen with the proposed gradual approach to implementing anti-dumping measures.

I believe that the anti-dumping measures taken in April have clearly been a step in the right direction.

Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, anti-dumping measures play an important role in the world.

That is quite different from requests for anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures to be taken.

I note the rapporteur refers to the issue of anti-dumping measures.

The episode has displayed the extent to which the industry needs to be a prime candidate for anti-dumping measures.

Furthermore, I hope that future political and economic dialogue will address the question of anti-dumping measures.

Yet both parties reserve the right to apply anti-dumping and protection measures on the basis of the association agreement.
