Mar iarmhairt air sin, ní hamháin nach féidir praghsanna díolacháin intíre cruach frithchreimní (CRS) a úsáid, ach na costais ionchuir ar fad (lena n-áirítear praghsanna táirgí cothroma teorollta (‘HRFS’) agus praghsanna na n-amhábhar bunúsach, mar shampla: iarnmhian arb ionann é agus thart ar 30 % de chostas díreach CRS; gual arb ionann é agus thart ar 14 % de chostas díreach CRS; dramh, fearó-chóimhiotail agus sinc arb ionann iad le chéile agus thart ar 34 % de chostas díreach CRS; fuinneamh arb ionann é agus thart ar 13 % de chostas díreach CRS; talamh, maoiniú, saothar, etc.), tá siad faoi smál freisin toisc go ndéantar difear do mhúnlú a bpraghsanna mar gheall ar idirghabháil nach beag ag an rialtas.
As a consequence, not only can the domestic sales prices of CRS not be used, but all the input costs (including hot-rolled flat products (‘HRFS’) and the underlying raw materials such as: iron ore which constitutes about 30 % of the direct cost for CRS; coal which constitutes about 14 % of the direct cost for CRS; scrap, ferroalloys and zinc which together constitute about 34 % of the direct cost for CRS; energy which constitutes about 13 % of the direct cost for CRS; land, financing, labour, etc.) are also tainted because their price formation is affected by substantial government intervention.
