Provide documents, where available, to confirm the calculation of these market shares and provide the name, address, telephone number, fax number and appropriate contact person, of these competitors;

5.2.4.

an estimate of the total value, volume and source of imports from outside the EEA territory and identify:

(a)

the share of such imports attributable to the applicant;

transportation and other costs; and

(b)

other non-tariff barriers to trade;

(2)

See section 3.

(3)

The value and volume of a market should reflect production, plus imports, less exports for the geographical areas in question.

(4)

Where appropriate, this shall take account of synergies that can arise (e.g. in the case of joint production of various products or the reuse of by-products), quantifying their extent. Moreover, whenever possible, the information shall include an estimate of the applicant's position in the market in terms of cost efficiency (e.g. by comparing the applicant's cost structure with the one of closer competitors and/or with those operating in the same industry or sector).
