English: It was argued that granular PTFE can be divided into three product groups based on quality differences (high/medium/low). It was claimed that each product group would be used in different applications not competing with one another in the same market.
French: Elles ont avancé que les PTFE granulaires se répartissaient en trois groupes de produit selon leur qualité (supérieure/moyenne/inférieure), faisant valoir que chaque groupe de produit était utilisé dans des applications différentes qui ne se concurrencent pas sur le même marché.
Italian: Esse hanno sostenuto che il PTFE granulare può essere suddiviso in tre gruppi di prodotto in base alla qualità (superiore/media/inferiore), e che ciascun gruppo viene utilizzato in applicazioni diverse che non sono in concorrenza sullo stesso mercato.
Portuguese: Foi alegado que o PTFE granular pode ser dividido em três grupos de produtos com base em diferenças de qualidade (alta/média/baixa) e que cada grupo do produto seria utilizado em aplicações diferentes, não sendo concorrentes no mesmo mercado.
Latvian: Tās apgalvoja, ka granulveida PTFE iedalāms trijās grupās pēc kvalitātes (augsta, vidēja, zema), norādot, ka katra ražojumu grupa izmantojama dažādos lietojumos, kas savstarpēji nekonkurē vienā un tajā pašā tirgū.
English: These comments were already addressed in recitals 33 to 39 of the provisional Regulation. Consequently, it was considered that the decision to reject MET to the three companies should be maintained.
French: Ces derniers ayant déjà été commentés aux considérants 33 à 39 du règlement provisoire, il a été considéré que la décision de refuser ce statut aux trois sociétés devait être maintenue.
Latvian: Uz tiem atbilde jau ir sniegta pagaidu regulas 33. līdz 39. apsvērumā, un tika atzīts, ka lēmums nepiešķirt šo statusu šīm trijām uzņēmējsabiedrībām ir jāsaglabā.
English: The two Russian exporting producers claimed that they cooperated to the best of their abilities and that the full application of facts available was therefore disproportionate. They argued that in accordance with Article 18(3) of the basic Regulation, the companies’ own data, although not in all respects ideal, should have been used.
French: Tous deux ont avancé qu’ils avaient coopéré au mieux de leurs possibilités et qu’il était donc disproportionné de faire usage des seules données disponibles, arguant que, conformément à l’article 18, paragraphe 3, du règlement de base, les données qu’ils ont présentées auraient dû être utilisées, même si elles n’étaient pas les meilleures à tous égards.
Portuguese: Os dois produtores-exportadores russos alegaram que haviam colaborado na medida do possível no inquérito, pelo que era desproporcionado utilizar unicamente os dados disponíveis, tendo ainda alegado que, em conformidade com o n.o 3 do artigo 18.o do regulamento de base, deviam ter sido utilizados os dados das próprias empresas, mesmo no caso de não serem ideais em todos os aspectos.
English: It is reiterated that the data provided by the companies in their questionnaire reply could not be reconciled with their audited accounts. This was considered a serious deficiency.
French: Il est rappelé que les données communiquées par les sociétés dans leurs réponses au questionnaire n’ont pas pu être rapprochées de leurs comptes vérifiés, ce qui a été considéré comme une insuffisance grave.
Portuguese: A Comissão reitera que os dados fornecidos pelas empresas nas respostas ao questionário eram incompatíveis com as respectivas contas auditadas, o que foi considerado uma lacuna grave.
Latvian: Atgādinām, ka dati, kurus uzņēmējsabiedrības sniedza savās atbildēs uz jautājumiem anketā, nesakrita ar to pārbaudītajiem kontiem; to atzina par nopietnu nepilnību.
English: On this basis, it was alleged that one and the same factor, i.e. the dumped imports could not have had such adverse effects on the Community producers’ situation, be it complainants or non-complainants. Consequently, it was claimed that the material injury suffered by the Community producers must have been caused by other factors.
French: Sur cette base, il a été prétendu qu’un seul et unique facteur, à savoir les importations en dumping, ne pouvait pas avoir eu des effets aussi différents sur la situation des producteurs communautaires selon qu’ils étaient ou non à l’origine de la plainte et que, par conséquent, le préjudice important subi par ces producteurs devait trouver son origine dans d’autres facteurs.
English: Some cooperating exporters stated that the provisional conclusion in recital 135 of the provisional Regulation, i.e. that the Community industry’s cost of production was decreasing was not in line with the data submitted in the complaint, which suggested an increase in the Community industry’s unit cost during the period considered. They claimed that it should have been investigated whether or not this increase in costs caused the material injury suffered.
French: Quelques exportateurs ayant coopéré ont affirmé que la conclusion exposée au considérant 135 du règlement provisoire, à savoir que le coût de production de l’industrie communautaire était en baisse, allait à l’encontre des données contenues dans la plainte qui suggéraient que le coût unitaire avait plutôt augmenté sur la période considérée, faisant valoir qu’il aurait fallu déterminer si cette hausse des coûts était à l’origine du préjudice important subi.
English: Two Russian exporting producers claimed that captive sales of granular PTFE of at least two Community producers had increased significantly during the period considered. It was argued that, given that these sales were usually unprofitable, the increase in captive sales should be considered as a possible cause for the injury suffered by the Community industry.
French: Deux producteurs-exportateurs russes ont affirmé que les ventes captives de PTFE granulaire d’au moins deux producteurs communautaires avaient fortement augmenté sur la période considérée, faisant valoir que, ces ventes n’étant généralement pas rentables, leur progression devait être considérée comme une cause possible du préjudice subi par l’industrie communautaire.
English: Indeed, 24,6 % of the users’ sales volume is exported outside the Community. This implies that the inward processing regime would allow these users to claim back or to avoid paying the anti-dumping duties levied on the imported granular PTFE.
French: En effet, 24,6 % des volumes vendus par les utilisateurs sont exportés hors de la Communauté, ce qui signifie que le régime du perfectionnement actif permettrait à ces utilisateurs de demander le remboursement des droits antidumping perçus sur le PTFE granulaire importé ou de ne pas avoir à les acquitter.
English: It should also be noted that the production of granular PTFE is more capital-intensive, while the production of semi-finished or finished products is much more labour-intensive. Therefore, a direct comparison between the number of jobs of the granular PTFE industry and the downstream industry is not appropriate.
French: Il y a aussi lieu de préciser que la production de PTFE granulaire exige plus d’investissements que de main-d’œuvre contrairement à la production de produits finis ou semi-finis, si bien qu’il n’est pas pertinent de comparer directement le nombre d’emplois dans l’industrie du PTFE granulaire et dans l’industrie en aval.
Portuguese: Importa igualmente assinalar que a produção de PTFE granular exige maior investimento de capital, enquanto a produção de produtos semiacabados ou acabados é mais intensiva em termos de mão-de-obra, pelo que não se afigura adequado efectuar uma comparação directa entre o número de postos de trabalho no sector de PTFE granular e no sector a jusante.
English: It was claimed that other sources, such as Japan and the USA would not be a valid alternative because import prices from these countries remain high. It was further claimed that the shortage in the Community market would be aggravated by the expected increase in demand on the Community market.
French: Il a encore été affirmé que les autres sources d’importation, telles que le Japon et les États-Unis, étaient difficilement envisageables, car encore chères et que la pénurie sur le marché communautaire serait aggravée par la hausse attendue de la demande.
Italian: È stato poi affermato che altre fonti di approvvigionamento quali Giappone e USA non rappresenterebbero un’alternativa valida, poiché i prezzi all’importazione da tali paesi restano elevati, e che la penuria sul mercato comunitario sarebbe aggravata dal previsto aumento della domanda.
English: Following the imposition of provisional measures, the three Chinese cooperating exporting producers claimed that they should have been granted MET and reiterated the arguments they had previously submitted. These comments were already addressed in recitals 33 to 39 of the provisional Regulation.
Italian: A seguito dell’istituzione delle misure provvisorie, i tre produttori esportatori cinesi che hanno collaborato all’inchiesta hanno sostenuto che avrebbero dovuto beneficiare del TEM ed hanno ribadito le argomentazioni precedentemente esposte, alle quali la Commissione aveva già risposto ai considerando da 33 a 39 del regolamento provvisorio.
English: One of the Russian exporting producers claimed that the adjustment for differences in the level of trade should have been based on the information provided by the fully cooperating unrelated importer which accounted for the major part of its imports. However, although the information of this importer was verified on-the-spot, due to the highly complex sales structure of the importer in question, involving a number of different companies from which no information was available, purchase prices and consequently the profit margin of this unrelated importer could not be reliably established and were therefore not used.
Lithuanian: Vienas Rusijos eksportuojantis gamintojas aiškino, kad prekybos lygių skirtumų patikslinimai turėjo būti paremti visapusiškai bendradarbiaujančio nesusijusio importuotojo, kuris importavo didžiąją importo dalį, pateikta informacija Tačiau nepaisant to, kad šio importuotojo pateikta informacija buvo patikrinta vietoje, dėl labai sudėtingos konkretaus importuotojo pardavimo struktūros, įskaitant skirtingas bendroves, kurios nepateikė jokios informacijos, supirkimo kainos ir šio nesusijusio importuotojo pelno skirtumo nebuvo galima patikimai nustatyti, todėl ji nebuvo naudojama.
English: The provisional Regulation described the product concerned as granular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), containing not more than 3 % of other monomer unit than tetrafluoroethylene, without fillers, in the form of powder or pellets, with the exclusion of micronised material. The product concerned can also be presented as raw polymer (reactor bead) in wet or dry form.
Latvian: Pagaidu regula aprakstīja attiecīgo ražojumu kā politetrafluoretilēnu (PTFE), sauktu par granulveida, kas satur ne vairāk kā 3 % citas monomēra vienības, izņemot tetrafluoretilēnu, bez pildvielām, pulvera vai granulu veidā, izņemot mikronizētu materiālu, un tā izejas polimēru (reaktora lodītes), mitrā vai sausā veidā.
English: Further to comments received by interested parties, it is clarified that ‘micronised material’ means a fluoropolymer micropowder as defined by norm ‘ASTM D5675-04’. The product concerned is currently classifiable within CN code ex39046100.
Latvian: Pēc apsvērumiem, kurus formulēja ieinteresētās personas, ir noskaidrots, ka jēdziens “mikronizēts materiāls” attiecas uz fluorpolimēra mikropulveri, kas definēts ar normu “ASTM D5675-04”.
English: As far as granular PTFE applications are concerned, it was found that granular PTFE of a lower quality could be used after post-treatment in almost all applications, including some high-end applications (e.g. billets for skiving). In general, as also admitted by EFFTA, there was an overlapping in applications for various types and qualities of granular PTFE and no clear dividing line could thus be established.
Latvian: Attiecībā uz lietojumiem tika konstatēts, ka zemākas kvalitātes granulveida PTFE pēc pēcapstrādes varēja tikt izmantots gandrīz visos lietojumos, tostarp atsevišķos progresīvu tehnoloģiju lietojumos (piem., nelieliem iepriekš izgatavotiem stieņiem, ko izmanto ražošanas darbībās).
English: In this regard it is noted that, as explained in recital 53 of the provisional Regulation, an adjustment was made for differences of quality, in particular contamination, the level of which the Chinese exporting producer did not contest. This argument was therefore also rejected.
Latvian: Šajā sakarā ir norādīts, ka, kā paskaidrots pagaidu regulas 53. pasvērumā, attiecībā uz kvalitātes atšķirībām, jo īpaši piesārņojumu, tika veikta korekcija, kuras līmeni Ķīnas ražotājs, kas eksportē, neapstrīdēja.
English: The additional investigation revealed that the impact of definitive anti-dumping duties on users would vary significantly depending on the quantity of imported granular PTFE used in their production processes. In this regard, the calculations were made on the basis of the assumption that none of the users would be able to pass the price increase on to their customers.
Dutch: Bij het onderzoek van de aanvullende gegevens bleek dat de gevolgen van antidumpingrechten voor de verwerkende bedrijven, afhankelijk van de hoeveelheid van het betrokken product waarvan zij bij hun productieproces gebruik maakten, sterk uiteenliepen.
English: Considering the above, it was concluded that the product concerned and the granular PTFE produced and sold in the Community by the Community industry share the same physical and technical characteristics and the same basic end-uses. They were therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Portuguese: Tendo em conta o que precede, concluiu-se que o produto em causa e o PTFE granular produzido e vendido na Comunidade pela indústria comunitária apresentavam as mesmas características físicas e técnicas de base e se destinavam às mesmas utilizações finais de base, pelo que são considerados produtos similares na acepção do n.o 4 do artigo 1.o do regulamento de base.
English: The Chinese exporting producer did not quantify its claim, nor did it submit any information or evidence that the methodology set out by Article 2(10)(a) of the basic Regulation would not be adequate to take the physical difference into account. On this basis, the claim had to be rejected.
Portuguese: O produtor-exportador chinês não quantificou a diferença nem apresentou quaisquer informações ou elementos de prova de que o método descrito na alínea a) do n.o 10 do artigo 2.o do regulamento de base não seria adequado para ter em conta as diferenças entre as características físicas.
English: Due to the serious deficiencies outlined above and the impossibility of verifying the information submitted, it had to be concluded that data submitted were overall unreliable and inaccurate. Therefore, the questionnaire replies of both companies had to be rejected as a whole.
Portuguese: Devido às graves lacunas acima referidas, bem como à impossibilidade de verificar as informações apresentadas, a Comissão concluiu que, em geral, os dados fornecidos não eram fiáveis nem correctos, pelo que as respostas ao questionário apresentadas por ambas as empresas não foram aceites.
English: In addition, it is noted that import trends from Russia, although decreasing in 2002, remained stable afterwards and even increased slightly during the IP. Finally, the definitive findings confirmed that imports of granular PTFE from the PRC and Russia were competing with each other on the Community market.
Portuguese: Além do mais, é de assinalar que as importações provenientes da Rússia, embora apresentassem uma tendência para a descida de preços em 2002, permaneceram estáveis após esta data, tendo mesmo registado um ligeiro aumento durante o PI.
English: One Chinese exporting producer expressed its concern with regard to the provisional determination of the post-importation costs when calculating the price of the Community industry. In particular, this exporter alleged that such cost would be higher than the one used in the provisional calculations, without however providing any supporting evidence in this regard.
Portuguese: Um produtor-exportador chinês manifestou a sua preocupação quanto à determinação provisória dos custos pós-importação aquando do cálculo do preço praticado pela indústria comunitária, alegando, nomeadamente, que tais custos seriam mais elevados do que os custos utilizados para os cálculos provisórios, embora não tenha fornecido elementos de prova de apoio a este respeito.
English: In any case, the increase in stocks of 283 tons in 2003 cannot be considered as significant as it only represents 5,6 % of the sales volume of that year. It was therefore concluded that this increase in stock prior to the IP could not cause the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Portuguese: De qualquer modo, o aumento das existências de 283 toneladas em 2003 não pode ser considerado significativo, representando apenas 5,6 % do volume de vendas desse ano, pelo que a Comissão concluiu que este aumento das existências antes do PI não foi a causa do prejuízo grave sofrido pela indústria comunitária.
English: In this context, it should be clarified that recital 134 of the provisional Regulation erroneously indicated that the increase in exports was 3 % during the period considered. Correctly, exports of the Community industry increased by 54 %.
Portuguese: Neste contexto, importa esclarecer que o considerando 134 do regulamento do direito provisório indicava erradamente um aumento de 3 % das exportações durante o período considerado, quando, na realidade as exportações da indústria comunitária aumentaram 54 %.
English: Thus, it is confirmed that in absolute terms, the increase was not significant (namely roughly 250 tons). Therefore, although increasing, export sales still represented only a small part of the Community industry’s total sales.
Portuguese: Deste modo, confirma-se que, em termos absolutos, o aumento não foi significativo (cerca de 250 toneladas), pelo que, embora tenham aumentado, as vendas para exportação continuaram a representar apenas uma reduzida parte do total das vendas efectuadas pela indústria comunitária.
English: It is further noted that as mentioned above, although Community consumption was decreased significantly from 2001 to 2002, it remained fairly stable afterwards and even increased slightly. Moreover, this increasing trend was confirmed after the IP.
Portuguese: Assinala-se igualmente que, tal como acima referido, embora o consumo comunitário tenha diminuído acentuadamente entre 2001 e 2002, permaneceu relativamente estável a partir desta data, tendo mesmo aumentado ligeiramente, tendência que foi confirmada após o PI.
English: Some interested parties argued that the depreciation of the United States dollar (USD) against the euro would have caused the injury suffered by the Community industry. It was claimed that: (i) the depreciation of the USD would have reduced the Community industry’s export sales to the United States; and (ii) increased the competitiveness of the Russian and Chinese imports.
Portuguese: Algumas partes interessadas alegaram que a desvalorização do dólar em relação ao euro seria a causa do prejuízo sofrido pela indústria comunitária, afirmando que a desvalorização do dólar teria: i) provocado uma diminuição das exportações da indústria comunitária para os Estados Unidos e ii) aumentado a competitividade das importações de produtos russos e chineses.
English: These users represented a large part of the total imports from Russia and the PRC, as well as the total Community consumption. They alleged that anti-dumping measures would have a significant impact on their profitability.
Portuguese: Estes utilizadores representavam uma parte considerável das importações da Rússia e da RPC e do consumo comunitário na sua totalidade, tendo alegado que as medidas anti-dumping teriam um impacto significativo na sua rentabilidade.
English: The sales volume during the IP was about 4845 tons. This implies that the complaining producers would be able to sell an additional 4355 tons of the like product, which is 85 % of the total imports of the countries concerned.
Portuguese: Durante o PI, o volume de vendas foi de aproximadamente, 4845 toneladas, o que pressupõe que os produtores que participaram na denúncia poderiam vender mais 4355 toneladas do produto similar, o que corresponde a 85 % do total das importações dos países em questão.
