208First of all, clearly, the fact of having the detailed calculations made by the Commission available to it, and not merely the data used for those calculations, is, in general, capable of enabling the interested parties to make observations that are more useful for their defence. They can then verify exactly how the Commission used those data and compare them with their own calculations, which would enable them to identify possible errors made by the Commission which would otherwise be undetectable. Moreover, the institutions’ practice shows that they themselves consider that, for the interested parties, having available to them the detailed calculations as regards the determination of the dumping margin can enable them usefully to exercise their rights of defence. As they accepted at the hearing in response to a question by the Court, the institutions usually communicate to the exporting producers the detailed calculations of the normal value where they are made on the basis of the internal sales of those exporting producers. Likewise, as has been stated in paragraph 205 above, even though the Commission had redacted, as regards the applicant, the normal value calculations, product type by product type, for reasons of confidentiality, it had, by contrast, disclosed to the applicant the calculations of the corresponding export prices at product type level.
