Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2026/2107 of 22 September 2026 imposing a definitive countervailing duty on imports of continuous filament glass fibre products (GFR) originating in Egypt following an expiry review pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2016/1037 of the European Parliament and of the Council

• (299) Almost all injury indicators displayed an overall negative trend throughout the period considered. Production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, profitability, return on investments deteriorated in line with decreased sales volumes and market share. In 2022, the Union was able to recover to a certain extent as demand for GFR increased in the wake of the lifting of the COVID-19 measures. In 2023 and in the RIP, however, due to the increase in the volume of subsidised imports from Egypt at decreasing prices, the Union industry’s situation deteriorated further as illustrated by its increased losses.

• (300) Other economic indicators such as return on investment were negative during the period considered with the exception of the year 2022. This affected the ability of the Union industry to self-finance operations and to raise capital impeding its growth and threatening its very survival in the medium to long term.

• (301) On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation during the review investigation period.

5. CAUSATION

• (302) In accordance with Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the subsidised imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry. In accordance with Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry. The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the subsidised imports from the country concerned was not attributed to it. These factors were: imports from third countries other than Egypt, the export performance of the Union industry, the increase in cost of raw materials and cost of energy on the Union industry and development on the captive market.

5.1.   Effects of the subsidised imports

• (303) The investigation revealed that the volume of subsidised imports from Egypt undercutting the Union industry’s prices, see recital (253), increased both in absolute and relative terms, i.e. as a percentage of total consumption, during the period considered. Their market share increased from 12 % in 2021 to 18 % in the RIP. At the same time, the Union industry saw its market share drop by 7 %.

• (304) The average unit price of the subsidised imports from Egypt decreased by 10 % between 2021 and the RIP following a significant upswing in 2022. In each period examined, Egyptian prices were lower than those charged by the Union industry during the same period.

• (305) The investigation established that import prices from Egypt undercut Union industry sales prices during the review investigation period. At the same time, import prices were found to be significantly below the Union industry’s cost of production, while the Union industry’s average unit costs increased by 24 % over the period considered, due primarily to higher energy and raw material costs, its sales prices could not be raised accordingly because of the price pressure exerted by subsidised imports from Egypt. As a result, the only period when Union industry sales prices were above cost of production was during the 2022 upswing. In 2021 and subsequent years, they remained below cost levels, preventing the Union industry from covering its costs and achieving a reasonable profit margin.

• (306) The combined effect of sustained price undercutting and the inability of the Union industry to increase its prices in line with the increasing costs of production led to significant price depression and suppression.

• (307) The Union industry was loss making in 2021, became profitable in 2022 and went back to being loss making from 2023 onwards. While profitability improved significantly in 2022, it deteriorated sharply thereafter, reaching –7,3 % in 2023 and –10,6 % in the review investigation period. This deterioration coincided with a marked decline in import prices from the country concerned after 2022. Although import prices increased in 2022 compared to 2021, they fell substantially in 2023 and decreased further during the review investigation period. Import volumes from Egypt increased in 2022, showed a slight decline in 2023 remaining above 2021 levels, and peaked in the RIP by an upswing to a level 47 % higher than in 2021. The combination of falling Union prices, increasingly low-priced imports and renewed growth in import volumes exerted downward pressure on the Union industry’s economic situation, contributing to the worsening of its profitability from 2023 onwards.

• (308) In view of the considerations above, the Commission concluded that the increase over the period considered in subsidised imports from the country concerned lead to significant increase of their market share at the expense of the Union industry. These imports exercised a significant pressure on the Union industry as they were also undercutting and suppressing the Union industry prices, thereby leading to the significant deterioration of their situation over the period considered.

5.2.   Effects of other factors

5.2.1.   Imports from third countries

• (309) The volume, market share and average price of imports from other third countries developed over the period considered as shown in recital (256).

• (310) The evolution of their volume and market share has been analysed in recitals (257) to (263). An analysis of the price trends and the conclusion per third country (in order of importance in terms of market share) regarding causality is provided below in recitals (311) - (315).

• (311) The average price per metric tonne of GFR imports from Malaysia initially rose by 32 % in 2022, followed by a significant drop in 2023 and in the RIP. The Commission, therefore, concluded that imports from Malaysia may have contributed to some extent to the material injury suffered by the Union industry, notably because their import price was below the Union producers’ unit cost of production. In view of their overall declining volumes and market share over the period considered, however, these imports did not attenuate the genuine and substantial causal link between the subsidised imports from the country concerned and the material injury found.

• (312) PRC prices, including the duties in place, were above the Union industry level in 2021 and 2022, however, in 2023 and during the RIP they fell below the Union industry level also possibly contributing to the material injury suffered. While the Commission found that imports from China contributed to the injury found during the investigation period, the Commission concluded that this factor, though important, could not attenuate the genuine and substantial causal link between subsidised imports from Egypt and the material injury suffered by the Union industry, because the increase in volumes and the sustained price pressure from Egypt coincided directly with the deterioration of the Union industry’s sales, market share, and profitability, thereby being a clear source of injury.

• (313) The average price of imports into the Union from Bahrain first increased by 57 % than declined gradually in 2023 and the RIP to a level 8 % below its 2021 level. Their price stayed well below the price level of the sales price of the Union industry, with the exception of the price level in 2022. The average price of imports into the Union from Thailand decreased by 50 % during the period considered mainly due to prices being unreasonably high in 2021 and 2022 when import quantities were insignificant. After that period, the average price of imports into the Union from Thailand was well below the price level of the sales price of the Union industry. The Commission found that imports from Bahrain and Thailand caused injury during the investigation period, the Commission concluded that this factor, though important, could not attenuate the genuine and substantial causal link between subsidised imports from Egypt and the material injury suffered by the Union industry, because the increase in volumes and the sustained price pressure from Egypt coincided directly with the deterioration of the Union industry’s sales, market share, and profitability, thereby being a clear source of injury.

• (314) The average price per metric tonne from the UK was similar or higher than the average price of the Union industry, and significantly above the price of imports from Egypt. They rose by 39 % from 2021 to 2023, before a decrease to EUR 1 244 in the RIP. The Commission, therefore, concluded that, given their declining volume, limited market share and higher price levels than all other import sources, imports from the UK did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry and do not attenuate the causal link with the subsidised imports from the country concerned.

• (315) Average prices from other third countries than Malaysia, the PRC, Bahrain, the UK and Thailand were higher than prices of imports from Egypt. The Commission concluded that imports from other third countries may have contributed to some extent to the material injury suffered by the Union industry, insofar as their import prices were below the Union producers’ unit cost of production. However, due to higher price levels compared to the subsidised imports from Egypt these imports did not attenuate the genuine and substantial causal link between the subsidised imports from the country concerned and the material injury found.

• (316) The weighted average price level of all imports of GFR, except from Egypt, fluctuated in line with the general trend of increasing in 2022 followed by a gradual decrease in 2023 and the RIP. Import prices from these sources were significantly higher than the price of GFR imported from Egypt, nevertheless, they remained below the cost of production of the Union industry. In view of their significant market share and decreasing price that was below the cost of production of the Union industry, the Commission concluded that imports from all other third countries may have contributed to the material injury suffered by the Union industry. Due to significantly higher price levels compared to the subsidised imports from Egypt these imports did not attenuate the genuine and substantial causal link between the subsidised imports from the country concerned and the material injury found.

• (317) In light of the above, the Commission concluded that imports from other third countries did not attenuate the genuine and substantial causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the subsidised imports from the country concerned.

5.2.2.   Export performance of the Union industry

• (318) The volume of exports of the sampled Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:

Table 13

Export performance of the sampled Union producers

• (319) During the period considered, the Union industry’s exports increased by 33 %, though remained small compared to total sales. These exports were largely composed of products of higher technical specifications, which shielded them from direct price competition. Consequently, the Union could achieve higher prices for these GFR products in international markets relative to the Union market. This reflected a strategic focus on niche markets abroad.

• (320) Export sales allowed the Union industry to improve its overall financial situation thanks to the increased sales volume and achieved price levels, which were higher than on the Union market.

5.2.3.   Energy and raw material costs

Table 14

Energy and raw material prices in the Union (EUR)

• (321) The trend in energy prices in the Union during the period considered displayed significant volatility and eventual stabilisation. The sharp increase in 2022, in comparison to 2021, was exacerbated by the consequences of the geopolitical tensions affecting energy supply, mainly due to Russia’s unjustified and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine. The spike in energy prices significantly impacted the production costs of the sampled Union producers. By 2023, however, the price of energy decreased.

• (322) The investigation revealed that the cost of the main raw materials increased substantially in 2022, contributing to a significant rise in the unit sales price as the Union industry could pass these costs on to customers. To the contrary, whereas in 2023 raw material costs continued to increase, the unit sales price declined as the Union industry was unable to pass these additional costs on to customers. In the RIP, while raw material costs decreased in comparison to the costs observed in years 2023 and 2022, the Union market prices dropped even further because Union industry was not able to maintain or increase its prices due to price pressure by subsidised imports.

• (323) The Commission concluded that higher energy and raw material costs may have contributed to the increasing the production costs of Union producers, they did not attenuate the genuine and substantial causal link between subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.

5.2.4.   Captive use

• (324) Sales in both the free and captive markets exhibited a similar trend over the period considered, with captive sales, constituting only 10 % of total consumption, experiencing a slower decrease. Captive sales, therefore, could not be viewed as a factor that undermined the causal relationship between the subsidised imports from the country concerned and their effect on the Union industry.

5.3.   Conclusion on causation

• (325) There was an overall deterioration of the Union industry’s financial situation in 2023 and in RIP. These negative circumstances coincided in time with an increased market share of subsidised imports of GFR from the country concerned, undercutting and suppressing the Union industry’s prices and costs.

• (326) Other factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry have also been analysed. In this respect, the Commission found that imports from all other third countries together and the increase in energy prices might have contributed to the material injury found for the Union industry but did not attenuate the genuine and substantial link with the injury suffered by the Union industry.

• (327) In addition, the market share in the review investigation period from the country concerned is significant, above de minimis, subsidisation was also established, Egyptian imports undercut the Union industry’s prices, price depression and suppression has been established. Those elements show that even in the absence of other imports, whether subsidised or not, the subsidised imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.

• (328) The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the subsidised imports.

• (329) On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the subsidised imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry and that the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not attenuate the causal link between the subsidised imports and the material injury.

6. LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUATION OF INJURY

• (330) The Commission concluded in recital (301) that the Union industry suffered material injury during the review investigation period. Therefore, the Commission assessed, in accordance with Article 18(3) of the basic Regulation, whether there would be a likelihood of continuation of injury caused by the subsidised imports from Egypt if the measures against were allowed to lapse.

• (331) The following additional elements were analysed in recitals (225) to (229) of this Regulation: the production capacity, increases in exports, the continued attractiveness of the Union market and circumvention practices.

• (332) In view of the above, it was concluded that the absence of measures would, in all likelihood, result in a significant increase of subsidised imports from Egypt at injurious levels and injury caused by subsidised imports would continue.

• (333) In view of the above, the Commission concluded that the repeal of the measures would in all likelihood result in a significant increase of subsidised imports from the country concerned at injurious price levels, and, therefore, further aggravating the injury suffered by the Union industry. As a consequence, the viability of the Union industry would be at serious risk.

7. UNION INTEREST

• (334) In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether maintaining the existing countervailing measures would be against the interest of the Union as whole. The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers, traders and users.

7.1.   Interest of the Union industry

• (335) The investigation established that the Union industry has suffered material injury caused by the subsidised imports from the country concerned during the RIP. As explained in the recital (271), during the RIP two Union producers stopped production of GFR altogether due to unfavourable market conditions.

• (336) The continuation of the measures would allow the Union industry to maintain and/or regain its market share, increase production and capacity utilisation, increase prices to cover cost of production and achieve a level of profitability which would be expected under normal conditions of competition, also bearing in mind that anti-dumping measures were imposed on GFR originating in Egypt in April 2026, see recital (2). On this basis, the Union industry would need to return to a sustainable situation which allows it to make future investments.

• (337) The repeal of the measures would likely lead to a further loss of market share and deterioration of profitability, which turned negative in 2023 and in the RIP. This would possibly cause additional closures of production facilities and dismissals thus endangering the viability of the Union industry.

• (338) The Commission, therefore, concluded that the continuation of the countervailing measures on imports of GFR originating in Egypt would be in the interest of the Union industry.

7.2.   Interest of unrelated importers and traders

• (339) Unrelated importers and traders did not submit information regarding their interests affected by this investigation.

• (340) The Commission found that since GFR is to a large extent standardised, Union importers and traders of GFR can change supply sources easily and efficiently [^ntr58-L_202602107EN.000101-E0058].

• (341) The Commission examined whether the situation of unrelated importers, as examined in the original Regulation [^ntr59-L_202602107EN.000101-E0059], has changed and found no significant alterations, they continued importing despite of the measures, as predicted.

• (342) The Commission found that any negative impact of the measures on unrelated importers and traders is expected to be limited and will not clearly outweigh the positive effect of measures on Union producers.

7.3.   Interest of users

• (343) Users Tolnatext and Rymatex submitted replies to the users’ questionnaire. Tolnatex submitted the same letter it had submitted in the anti-dumping investigation against Bahrain, Egypt and Thailand [^ntr60-L_202602107EN.000101-E0060], arguing against the imposition of anti-dumping measures on those three countries. The Commission addressed below the arguments that seemed relevant to this proceeding.

• (344) Tolnatext argued that Union producers have not increased their capacity to supply the Union market with GFR, especially direct rovings, to adequately meet user demands although they were protected by existing anti-dumping and countervailing measures. They also noted that certain rovings such as low-tex rovings were not actively promoted and sold by Union producers, and, for some, the technical specifications required by users were not met by Union producers, which makes users extremely dependent on the availability of specified products from alternative sources. Furthermore, users were negatively impacted by increasingly concentrated oligopoly of a few Union producers creating further risk of decreasing availability of low-tex rovings.

• (345) The investigation determined that the allegation that Union producers have not increased their capacity to supply the Union market with GFR was unfounded. The Union industry has made substantial investments despite challenging market conditions and has spare capacity. Further capacity expansion necessitates long-term capital commitments, which rely on maintaining a level playing field where competitive producers can anticipate a fair return on investments. The Union industry was also faced with unfair competition and difficult market conditions.

• (346) The Commission further disagreed with the claim that Union producers do not produce certain specific types of GFR or lack sufficient capacity to supply them, or that certain technical requirements are not met. Specifically, several Union producers have the technology and capacity to manufacture low-tex direct rovings, and that the Union industry has spare capacity that could be allocated to additional production.

• (347) On that basis, the Commission concluded that the Union industry has the technological capability and the capacity to supply the product types concerned and rejected the argument.

• (348) Furthermore, the Commission found that the continuation of the countervailing measures would not prevent Jushi Egypt from supplying the Union market at fair prices, as evidenced by the continued presence of Egyptian GFR on the Union market.

• (349) The Commission found that any negative impact of the measures on users is expected to be limited and will not clearly outweigh the positive effect of measures on the Union Industry.

7.4.   Conclusion on Union interest

• (350) On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that there were no compelling reasons of Union interest against the maintenance of the existing measures on imports of GFR originating in Egypt.

8. COUNTERVAILING MEASURES

• (351) On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on the likelihood of both the continuation of subsidisation and continuation of injury caused by subsidised imports from Egypt as well as Union interest, the countervailing measures on GFR from Egypt should be maintained.

• (352) In view of Article 109 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2024/2509 of the European Parliament and of the Council [^ntr61-L_202602107EN.000101-E0061] when an amount is to be reimbursed following a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union, the interest to be paid should be the rate applied by the European Central Bank to its principal refinancing operations, as published in the C series of the Official Journal of the European Union on the first calendar day of each month.

• (353) The measures provided for in this regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 25(1) Regulation (EU) 2016/1037,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
