43First, as observed in paragraphs 34 to 37 above, it is clear from the wording of the second and third subparagraphs of Article 11(3) of the basic regulation that the objective of the interim review is to verify the need for the continued imposition of the anti-dumping measures and that, in this regard, where the review request made by an exporter is limited to dumping, the institutions must first assess the need for the continued imposition of the existing measure and, on that basis, find a not only significant but also lasting change of circumstances with regard to the dumping (see, to that effect, judgment in MTZ Polyfilms v Council, paragraph 34 above, EU:T:2009:441, paragraph 41). It is only as a second step, once the institutions have assessed the need for the continued imposition of the existing measures and decided to amend the existing measures, that they are bound, when determining the fresh measures, by the provisions in Article 11(9) of the basic regulation conferring on them the express power and obligation to apply, in principle, the same methodology as that used in the original investigation which led to the anti-dumping duty (judgment in MTZ Polyfilms v Council, paragraph 34 above, EU:T:2009:441, paragraph 49).
