Key points

  • China does not currently meet the five criteria established by the EU to be classified as a market economy.
  • The high level of state influence in China means that prices and costs do not always reflect real market supply and demand.
  • The EU should continue using special calculation methods for anti-dumping investigations based on existing international agreements.
  • The EU must ensure that specific provisions regarding trade methodologies remain legally enforceable after the transition period ends.
