128In support of its first complaint, in the first place, the applicant submits that the calculations of normal value constitute essential facts and considerations within the meaning of Article 20(2) of the basic regulation. Since, according to the applicant, those calculations no longer constituted confidential information, within the meaning of paragraph 4 of that article, after the analogue country producer had authorised disclosure of the underlying data for those calculations, it considers that the Commission was obliged, from that moment, to disclose those calculations to it. According to the applicant, that obligation is, moreover, confirmed by the wording of Article 19(5) of the basic regulation. In the second place, the applicant submits that the institutions’ refusal prevented it from exercising its rights of defence, in particular in presenting observations on those calculations, such that the outcome of the procedure could have been different. Finally, in the third place, the applicant alleges that disclosing those calculations to it would not breach the principle of non-discrimination since, due to the permission given by the analogue country producer, which referred to the applicant specifically, it was in a situation that differed objectively from that of the other exporting producers.
