Form of order sought
The appellant claims that the Court should:
|
— |
set aside the judgment of the Court of First Instance of 23 September 2009 in Case T-296/06, Dongguan Nanzha Leco Stationery Mfg., Co., Ltd. v Council of the European Union, in so far as it rejects the Appellant's first part of its first plea at first instance; |
|
— |
annul Council Regulation (EC) No 1136/2006 (1) in so far as it imposes an anti-dumping duty on LAMs produced by the Appellant in excess of the amount of duty that would be payable if the contested adjustment to the export price had not been made; and |
|
— |
order the Council to bear the costs of the present proceedings including the proceedings at first instance |
Pleas in law and main arguments
The appellant submits that the contested judgment fails to give the correct legal effect to the notion of normal value as defined by Article 2(7)(a) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 384/96 (2), as amended, on the protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community. As a result, the contested judgment draws the erroneous conclusion that the analogue normal value determined in accordance with that provision necessarily corresponds to the point where the relevant products leave the production line in China, even though the contested judgment itself finds that SG&A for both domestic and export sales are incurred not by the company in China, but by related companies in a market economy country, Hong Kong. This erroneous conclusion leads the contested judgment to infringe Article 2(10) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 384/96, as amended, by upholding the Institutions’ adjustment to the export price consisting in a deduction of the SG&A and profits of the related companies in Hong Kong.
