Anonymity vs. Accountability: The Great Candle Controversy.



Can two companies speak for eighty?

By all means, I am not a trade lawyer and feedback is appreciated, but the EU's latest anti-dumping duties on Chinese candles are sparking a massive transparency debate.

Two major red flags:



1/ The Anonymity Wall: Complainants were granted total anonymity due to "retaliation risks." Critics argue this blocks the right to a fair defense—how do you cross-examine a ghost?

2/ The Power of Two: The Commission sampled just 2 companies to represent an industry of 80+ producers. Is 16% of production truly "representative" of the entire EU market?



The Commission says yes; exporters say no.

Fair investigation or a transparency fail? you be the judge...
