Question to the Department for International Trade:

To ask the Secretary of State for International Trade, if she will publish the criteria for determining the application of anti-dumping duties on imported bicycles at the end of the transition period.

In preparation for the end of the transition period, the Department for International Trade assessed whether the EU anti-dumping measure on bicycles should continue to apply after the transition period. This was done through a Call for Evidence process, which was a technical exercise based on objective evidence from businesses, validated through reputable, publicly available sources.

The criteria for the assessment as to whether an existing EU measure, such as the measure on bicycles, should be maintained in the UK were as follows:

• An application for measures to be maintained was received from UK businesses which produce, in the UK, products subject to trade remedies measures.
• The application was supported by UK businesses which produced a sufficient proportion of those products.
• The market share of the UK-based producers of those products was above 1%.
