   2. the sales or production, or both, of such firm or subdivision have decreased absolutely; and

   3. increased imports of articles like or directly competitive with articles produced by such firm or subdivision have contributed importantly to such workers' separation or threat of separation and to the decline in sales or production of such firm or subdivision; or

2. Section (a)(2)(B) both of the following must be satisfied:

   3. there has been or is likely to be an increase in imports of articles that are like or directly competitive with articles which are or were produced by such firm or subdivision.
