Form of order sought
Declare the application admissible ;
Partially annul Article 1 of Commission Decision K(2011) 8826, Article 1 of Commission Decision C(2011) 8803 and Article 1 of Commission Decision K(2011) 8801, all three decisions being dated 6 December 2011, insofar as they only grant a partial refund of the anti-dumping duties paid by the applicant and unlawfully retain additional amounts of refunds of anti-dumping duties legitimately due to the applicant;

Pleas in law and main arguments
In support of the action, the applicant relies on three pleas in law.
First plea in law, alleging that the defendant committed a manifest error of assessment in applying an appropriate and reasonable unrelated EU importer profit margin, thereby failing to establish a reliable export price for the purpose of calculating the correct anti-dumping refund amount leading to infringements of Articles 2(9) and 18(3) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.
Second plea in law, alleging that the defendant committed a manifest error of assessment by deducting anti-dumping duties as a cost in the calculation of the export price thereby failing to establish a reliable dumping margin for the purpose of calculating the correct anti-dumping refund amount and in doing so violated Articles 2(9), 2(11) and 11(10) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009.
Third plea in law, alleging that the defendant failed to inform it of the necessary requirements for satisfying Article 11(10) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 in a prompt and adequate manner thereby committing violations of the rights of defence enshrined in EU general law as well as the principle of sound administration also established in EU general law and also Article 41 of the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union.
