ARTICLE 69: OTHER FACTORS THAT DETERMINE THE EXISTENCE OF DAMAGE

     

    The Ministry (RLCE: Art. 1) will examine other factors known to them, other than the imports under investigation, which at the same time affect the national production, to determine whether the alleged damage is caused by such imports. Among the factors that the Ministry may evaluate will be the following:

  • The volume and prices of imports that are not carried out under conditions of price discrimination or subsidies;
  •  

  • The contraction of demand or variations in the structure of consumption;
  •  

  • The restrictive business practices of foreign and national producers, as well as competition between them, and
  •  

  • The evolution of technology, productivity and the results of export activity.
