49It must be noted, first of all, that Article 5 of the basic regulation governs precisely the conditions under which a complaint ‘by any natural or legal person, or any association not having legal personality, acting on behalf of the Community industry’ results in the opening of an anti-dumping investigation. In this respect, Article 5(4) provides that, in order to be considered to have been made by the Community industry, a complaint must satisfy cumulatively two conditions relating to the size of the support for it. First, the complaint must be supported ‘by those Community producers whose collective output constitutes more than 50% of the total production of the like product produced by that portion of the Community industry expressing either support for or opposition to the complaint’. Secondly, the complaint must be supported by Community producers accounting for at least 25% of total production of the like product produced by the Community industry.
