23The Council and the Commission have, moreover, convincingly explained their reasons for not opting for countries like India or Brazil, and Rotexchemie has not adduced the slightest evidence capable of casting doubt on their analysis. As regards the case of India in particular, whilst it is true, as the national court states, that the size of the domestic market is not in principle a factor capable of being taken into consideration in the choice of a reference country, it is also necessary for that market to be representative in relation to the exports in question (see Neotype Techmashexport v Commission and Council, cited above, paragraph 31). In this case, the characteristics of the Indian market in potassium permanganate put forward by the Council and the Commission abundantly demonstrate that that was not so. More generally, as the Advocate General points out in paragraph 30 of his Opinion, everything in this case points to the conclusion that the United States of America was indeed the only country with a market economy capable of being chosen as the reference country.
