The global market and increasing competition among market participants encourage unfair trade practices. Various anti-dumping measures are in place to stop unfair trade and protect EU producers. The number of anti-dumping measures is growing every year in the EU, which ensures fair trade and reduces the formation of monopoly positions on the market. From 2019, the EU more focuses on small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to protect them from unfair trade by simplifying procedures. The anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures have led to an average reduction of 80 per cent in unfair trade. This shows that the anti-dumping measures in the EU are working effectively.
