"Well, I think that the answer to your question, Mr RĂ¼big, is, in that case, to move from a system of sanctions to a compensation system which obviously has the advantage of being much more voluntary. But the idea that businesses, which may fall victim to a system of sanctions, could have the right to compensation, for one reason or another, is not recognised in either international or Community law. We have also challenged the American system at the WTO, for example. This system was conceived several years ago and finalised last year and involves compensating businesses that fall victim to antidumping with the income from antidumping rights. We believe that this system provides an incentive to commit fraud and, therefore, we are not considering compensation systems. Once again, sanctions are only there to apply discipline and if we can effect the transition to a compensation system, then we would have a system that is more voluntary and is, if I may so, less random and punitive than sanctions."@en1
