Read before use. A starting point for a file, not a finding. Whether a measure is a countervailable subsidy (a financial contribution, a benefit, specificity) is for the investigating authority. The measures are screen output with the checked precision shown; a document can sit under two headings. "Not matched in the notification dataset" does not mean "not notified": citations in the notifications are often unparsed or name documents we do not hold.
0 of the sector's 33 documents dated since 2020-01-01 carry a support measure under one of these headings; 0 of the 6 headings have at least one operative measure. 0 of those documents are matched in China's WTO subsidy notifications held. No EU countervailing act held covers the sector's headings.
