52Nor is the finding called in question by the fact that recital 5 of the basic regulation states that the rules of the Anti-Dumping Agreement should be brought into EU legislation ‘as far as possible’. As the Advocate General observed in points 44 and 46 of her Opinion, that expression must be understood as meaning that even if the EU legislature intended to take into account the rules of the Anti-Dumping Agreement when adopting the basic regulation, it did not, however, show the intention of transposing all those rules in that regulation. The conclusion that the purpose of Article 2(7) of the basic regulation is to implement the particular obligations created by Article 2 of the Anti-Dumping Agreement can therefore in no case be based in isolation on the wording of recital 5 of the basic regulation.
