(12)The Commission considered that the circumstances applicable to the GITI Group name change request were factually and legally different from those of the applicant. Whereas the GITI Group merged three group companies into one, the name change request submitted by the Liaoning Dantan Group did not result from a simple internal restructuring but followed several transfers of assets within the group – including from companies not benefitting from the group specific rate – and the establishment of a new company Therefore, in that case, there was no indication that the internal restructuring and the other reported corporate changes of the GITI Group within China were of any relevance. There was also no indication that the sales channels significantly changednote. Furthermore, in the case of the GITI Group, in the original investigation, the normal value was calculated on the basis of price and cost information from the selected analogue country and did not depend on domestic Chinese prices or costs. Following the adoption of Regulation (EU) 2016/1036, such methodology no longer applies when the existence of significant distortions in the exporting country within the meaning of point (b) of Article 2(6a) has been established.
