In cases where the like or directly competitive product is only one of several products that are made by the producers constituting the Union industry, the industry shall be defined as the specific operations that are involved in the production of the like or directly competitive product;

(d) ‘serious injury’ means a significant overall impairment in the position of Union producers;
