162The first type of damage derives from the fact that, following the contested decision, the applicants were forced to maintain their EU sales prices at loss-making levels, in order to compete with dumped imports from India, Taiwan and Thailand. They continue to lose market shares to producers from India, Taiwan and Thailand. That loss is due to the difference between their earnings before interest, taxes and amortisation (‘EBITA’) estimated for the period (partly future at the time of bringing the action) from June 2013 to May 2014 and the EBITA during the (past) period between April 2012 and March 2013. The applicants annexed to the application a calculation of the estimated loss and asked the Court for permission to bring up to date their information and calculations at a later stage of the proceedings. According to the applicants, such a possibility had already been accepted by the Court (see, to that effect, judgment of 30 September 1998, Coldiretti and Others v Council and Commission, T‑149/96, paragraphs 49 and 50).
