30As a preliminary point, it should be noted, in the first place, that it is apparent from recital 3 of that regulation that, in order to ensure a proper and transparent application of the rules of the Anti-Dumping Agreement, the language of that agreement should be reflected in EU legislation to the best extent possible. As the General Court pointed out in paragraph 54 of the judgment under appeal, which is not criticised by the Commission in its appeal, the provisions of Article 3(2) and (3) of the basic regulation are substantially the same as those of Article 3, paragraphs 3.1 and 3.2, of the Anti-Dumping Agreement, which were the subject of a special interpretation in the Appellate Body’s HP‑SSST report.
