Abstract
The EU’s autonomous trade policy has recently been updated to increase its resilience and to seek to establish a level playing field. Already in 2017 and 2018, anti-dumping law was reformed for this purpose. The 2017 reform introduced a new exception to the primary method for determining normal value. According to the new Article 2(6a) of the Basic Anti-Dumping Regulation, the actual sales price in the exporting country is to be rejected if there are ‘significant distortions’. Whereas much has been written about whether this new methodology is compatible with WTO law, this article analyses how this provision has been applied by the European Commission during the first three years since its introduction.
