This will also apply to any top-ups in the account. Expiration will take place automatically, but an employer’s digital apprenticeship service account will let them know in good time when any funds are due to expire so that the funds can be spent if the employer wishes to do so.</p><p><strong> </strong></p> more like this

answer text <p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>Anti-dumping policy is agreed at EU level so all EU member states adopt identical trade measures to protect EU industry from dumping.

The EU currently has 37 anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures in place on steel and steel products.</p><p> </p><p>As part of the International Comparisons Working Group, established following the Steel Summit on 16 October 2015, the Government has, in conjunction with representatives of the UK steel industry, examined the anti-dumping policies of some non-EU countries. The work was informed, in part, by European Commission’s own evaluation of its trade defence instruments published in 2012[1], which included a detailed comparison of the trade defence policies of other countries.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p> </p><p>[1] Evaluation of the European Union’s Trade Defence Instruments.
