English: CN code 87087010 concerns road wheels and parts and accessories thereof for industrial assembly. This means that the application of the lower duty rate foreseen therein is subject to the so-called end-use control.
French: Le code NC 87087010 couvre les roues, leurs parties et accessoires destinés à l’industrie du montage, ce qui signifie que l’application du droit moindre qui y est associé est subordonnée au contrôle dit de la destination particulière.
Portuguese: O código NC 87087010 diz respeito às rodas, suas partes e acessórios destinados à indústria de montagem, o que significa que a aplicação da taxa do direito inferior que o mesmo prevê está sujeita ao chamado controlo da utilização final.
English: Hence, a product concerned in an anti-dumping proceeding might encompass different CN codes. In fact such a situation is rather common.
French: Un produit couvert par une procédure antidumping peut donc relever de plusieurs codes NC, ce qui est d’ailleurs assez courant.
Italian: Un prodotto oggetto di un procedimento antidumping può quindi corrispondere a più codici NC, situazione piuttosto frequente.
Portuguese: Por conseguinte, um produto em causa num processo anti-dumping pode abranger diferentes códigos NC, situação esta que, aliás, ocorre com frequência.
English: Secondly, wheels falling under both CN codes are the same. The only difference is the way they are channelled after importation.
French: Deuxièmement, les roues relevant de ces deux codes NC sont identiques, la seule différence étant le circuit qu’elles empruntent une fois importées.
Italian: In secondo luogo, le ruote che corrispondono ai due codici NC sono le stesse, la sola differenza è nei canali di commercializzazione in cui sono immesse dopo essere state importate.
English: Having regard to this judgement, exporters claim that the European Institutions should apply it and analyze in detail whether the actions taken by the State when running the company are incompatible with market economy conditions. In this respect, it has to be pointed out that the said judgement is presently under appeal.
French: Se référant à cet arrêt, certains exportateurs affirment que les institutions européennes doivent l’appliquer et analyser de manière détaillée si les mesures prises par les pouvoirs publics dans le cadre de la gestion de la société sont incompatibles avec les conditions d’une économie de marché.
Italian: Riferendosi a questa sentenza, gli esportatori affermano che le istituzioni europee devono applicarla e analizzare in modo dettagliato se le misure adottate dallo Stato nella gestione della società sono incompatibili con le condizioni di un’economia di mercato.
English: Baoding Lizhong claims that there is no State interference and it also puts forward that from the wording of Article 9(5)(c) and (e) it does not suffice that there is some State interference for IT to be refused and that the explicit wording of Article 9(5) allows that there is some State interference and still to grant IT provided that there is still sufficient independence from the State and that the State interference is not such as to permit circumvention. This would only be the case if State officials were holding a majority of key functions and could interfere with daily business decisions.
French: Baoding Lizhong affirme qu’il n’y a pas d’intervention de l’État et argue qu’en vertu du libellé de l’article 9, paragraphe 5, points c) et e), toute intervention des pouvoirs publics ne suffit pas pour refuser le traitement individuel, l’article 9, paragraphe 5, tel qu’explicitement libellé, autorisant l’octroi du traitement individuel en cas d’intervention des pouvoirs publics pour autant que la société reste suffisamment indépendante de l’État et que l’intervention de ce dernier ne soit pas de nature à permettre un contournement, ce qui ne serait le cas que si des fonctionnaires d’État occupaient une majorité des postes clés et pouvaient intervenir dans les décisions commerciales prises au quotidien.
Italian: Baoding Lizhong afferma che non vi è interferenza dello Stato e sostiene che secondo l’articolo 9, paragrafo 5, lettere c) ed e), non basta che vi sia un’interferenza dello Stato per rifiutare il TI e che l’articolo 9, paragrafo 5, autorizza esplicitamente la concessione del TI anche in caso di interferenza dello Stato, a condizione che la società conservi sufficiente indipendenza dallo Stato e che l’interferenza dello Stato non sia tale da consentire un’elusione, il che potrebbe avvenire soltanto nel caso in cui funzionari di Stato occupassero una maggioranza di posti chiave e potessero influire sulle decisioni della società.
English: Regarding the claims made by Baoding Lizhong, the risk of circumvention has been re-examined. Indeed, the State interference is not such as to permit circumvention.
French: S’agissant des allégations de Baoding Lizhong, le risque de contournement a été réexaminé et, en effet, l’intervention de l’État n’est pas de nature à permettre un contournement.
English: In relation to the argument regarding the number of transactions to be taken into account, it has to be pointed out that Article 2(11) of the basic Anti-dumping Regulation establishes that dumping calculations should be based on ‘all export transactions to the Community’ but they should be ‘Subject to the relevant provisions governing fair comparison’. This means that, if it is impossible to reach a reasonable matching for 100 % of the products, it will not be possible to take into account 100 % of the export transactions.
French: En ce qui concerne l’argument concernant le nombre de transactions à prendre en compte, il y a lieu de préciser que l’article 2, paragraphe 11, du règlement de base antidumping dispose que les calculs du dumping doivent être fondés sur «toutes les exportations vers la Communauté», mais «sous réserve des dispositions pertinentes régissant la comparaison équitable», ce qui signifie que, s’il est impossible d’établir une correspondance raisonnable pour la totalité des produits, il ne sera pas possible de tenir compte de la totalité des transactions à l’exportation.
English: An additional number of product types have been added to the ones used for the calculation made at provisional level. This has allowed to include in the calculations as many transactions as possible, also ensuring that the weighted average unit price of all export transactions per exporting company is as close as possible to the weighted average unit price of export transactions (of this company) which has been used to calculate the dumping margin.
French: Des types de produits supplémentaires ont été ajoutés à ceux qui avaient été utilisés pour le calcul au stade provisoire, ce qui a permis d’inclure autant de transactions que possible dans les calculs et d’assurer ainsi que le prix unitaire moyen pondéré de toutes les transactions à l’exportation d’un exportateur donné est aussi proche que possible du prix unitaire moyen pondéré des transactions à l’exportation (de cet exportateur) utilisées pour calculer la marge de dumping.
Italian: Altri tipi di prodotti sono stati aggiunti a quelli utilizzati per il calcolo provvisorio, il che ha permesso di includere nei calcoli tutte le transazioni possibili e di ottenere che il prezzo unitario medio ponderato di tutte le transazioni di esportazione di una società esportatrice sia il più possibile vicino al prezzo unitario medio ponderato delle transazioni di esportazione (di questa società) utilizzato per calcolare il margine di dumping.
English: Parties claimed that the methodology of calculating imports has not been sufficiently explained. Those criticisms, however, have not been substantiated.
French: Les parties ont fait valoir que la méthode utilisée pour calculer les importations n’avait pas été suffisamment expliquée, mais n’ont en rien étayé leurs critiques.
Italian: Le parti hanno sostenuto che il metodo utilizzato per calcolare le importazioni non è stato sufficientemente spiegato, ma non hanno dato ragione delle loro critiche.
English: Indeed there has been a nominal increase of Chinese import prices (although by only 1,6 %) [7]. It has to be stressed however that over the entirety of the period considered they decreased by 8 %.
French: Effectivement, les prix des produits importés de Chine ont enregistré une augmentation nominale (quoique de 1,6 % seulement) [7], mais il convient de souligner qu’ils ont reculé de 8 % sur l’ensemble de la période considérée.
English: In addition, in reply to parties’ comments that the market share of 3 % was small, it has to be stressed that a market share of even 3 % cannot be considered small on a price sensitive market like the one in the case at hand. This is particularly true in view of the price depression described below in recital (116).
French: De plus, en réponse aux observations des parties selon lesquelles la part de marché de 3 % est peu importante, il y a lieu de souligner que même une part de marché de 3 % ne peut être considérée comme peu importante sur un marché aussi sensible aux prix que le marché en cause en l’espèce, surtout au vu de la dépression des prix décrite ci-dessous au considérant 116.
Italian: In risposta alle osservazioni delle parti secondo le quali la quota di mercato del 3 % è poco significativa, occorre sottolineare che anche una quota di mercato del 3 % non può essere considerata insignificante su un mercato sensibile ai prezzi come il mercato in questione, in particolare tenendo conto della depressione dei prezzi descritta oltre al considerando (116).
English: Namely, at the provisional stage a uniform 4,5 % customs duty rate was applied. This approach has been followed at the definitive stage in the calculation of the general undercutting (for both segments).
French: Ainsi, un taux de droit de douane uniforme de 4,5 % avait été appliqué au stade provisoire.
Italian: Nella fase provvisoria è stata applicata un’aliquota di dazio doganale uniforme del 4,5 %.
Portuguese: Na fase provisória do inquérito foi aplicada uma taxa uniforme de direito aduaneiro de 4,5 %.
English: Some parties claimed that the loss in profitability was due to the decreasing production volumes. Hence, producers were unable to amortize their fixed costs over the smaller number of wheels produced.
French: Quelques parties ont affirmé que la baisse de rentabilité était due à la diminution des volumes de production et que, de ce fait, les producteurs étaient incapables d’amortir leurs coûts fixes sur le nombre réduit de roues produites.
Italian: Alcune parti hanno affermato che il calo di redditività era dovuto alla diminuzione dei volumi di produzione e alla conseguente impossibilità per i produttori di ammortizzare i costi fissi sul ridotto numero di ruote prodotte.
English: Parties claimed that the structure of the Union industry contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry. However, as specified in recitals (146) and (147) of the provisional Regulation data collected during the investigation demonstrates that larger and smaller companies have been similarly affected.
French: Les parties ont affirmé que la structure de l’industrie de l’Union a contribué au préjudice qu’elle a subi, mais, comme cela est exposé aux considérants 146 et 147 du règlement provisoire, les données recueillies pendant l’enquête montrent que les petites et les grandes entreprises ont été affectées de la même manière.
Italian: Le parti hanno affermato che la struttura dell’industria dell’Unione ha contribuito al pregiudizio che questa ha subito, ma, come specificato ai considerando (146) e (147) del regolamento provvisorio, i dati raccolti durante l’inchiesta dimostrano che le piccole e le grandi imprese hanno subito conseguenze simili.
English: The information on file submitted by cooperating Union producers contradicted such claims. They had to be therefore rejected.
French: Les informations du dossier communiquées par des producteurs de l’Union ayant coopéré contredisent ces arguments qu’il faut, par conséquent, rejeter.
Italian: Le informazioni fornite da produttori dell’Unione che hanno cooperato smentiscono queste affermazioni, che sono state quindi respinte.
Portuguese: A informação disponível facultada pelos produtores da União que colaboraram no inquérito contraria tais alegações, que, consequentemente, tiveram de ser rejeitadas.
English: However, even in the event that this factor was taken into account, given the likely pressure on consumer prices in a context of a market downturn, it is unlikely that importers buying from the country concerned would be able to increase prices to retail as a result of the appreciation of the RMB. Furthermore, exchange rates as such are very difficult to predict.
French: Néanmoins, même s’il était tenu compte de ce facteur, étant donné la pression probable subie par les prix à la consommation dans un contexte de récession, les importateurs s’approvisionnant dans le pays concerné ne seraient probablement pas en mesure d’augmenter leurs prix au détail à la suite de l’appréciation du CNY.
English: Finally, an appreciation of the RMB against the EUR has been seen post IP. All these elements make it impossible to conclude that the currency fluctuations will have an upward effect on prices of dumped imports from the country concerned.
French: En outre, les taux de change sont en soi très difficiles à prédire et l’on a vu, avec la dépréciation de l’euro par rapport au CNY, qui s’est produite après la période d’enquête, qu’il est impossible de conclure que les fluctuations des devises auront un effet à la hausse sur les prix des importations en dumping en provenance du pays concerné.
Latvian: Visbeidzot, pēc IP ir bijusi vērojama RMB vērtības palielināšanās pret EUR. Ņemot vērā visus šos elementus, nevar secināt, ka valūtas svārstību rezultātā palielināsies no attiecīgās valsts par dempinga cenām veiktā importa cenas.
English: The table demonstrates that the consumption of steel wheels decreased by 12 % between 2008 and the IP. The share of aluminium wheels in production of new cars decreased by 1 percentage points between 2008 and the IP (period affected by the economic crisis).
French: Le tableau ci-dessus montre que la consommation de roues en acier a baissé de 12 % entre 2008 et la période d’enquête, tandis que la part des roues en aluminium dans la production de voitures neuves n’a diminué que de 1 % entre 2008 et la période d’enquête (période correspondant à la crise économique).
Italian: Dalla tabella risulta che il consumo di ruote in acciaio è diminuito del 12 % tra il 2008 e il PI, mentre la quota delle ruote in alluminio nella produzione di automobili nuove è diminuita soltanto dell’1 % tra il 2008 e il PI (periodo interessato dalla crisi economica).
English: As regards transactions made by the Union producers on the EU market, providing more detailed information would only be meaningful if given individually for each of the producers. This is however not possible since it would be in breach of the abovementioned confidentiality requirements.
French: En ce qui concerne les opérations réalisées par les producteurs de l’Union sur le marché de l’Union européenne, seules des informations plus détaillées concernant chaque producteur pris individuellement auraient eu de l’intérêt, mais cette démarche était impossible puisque contraire aux exigences de confidentialité susmentionnées.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda le operazioni realizzate dai produttori dell’Unione sul mercato dell’UE, solo informazioni più dettagliate riguardanti singolarmente ogni produttore sarebbero state significative, ma anche in questo caso si sarebbe violato l’obbligo di riservatezza di cui sopra.
Portuguese: Quanto às transacções efectuadas pelos produtores da União no mercado da UE, a apresentação de informação mais pormenorizada só faria sentido se se referisse individualmente a cada um dos produtores, algo que não seria possível por constituir uma violação dos mesmos requisitos de confidencialidade.
English: As regards customs duties, at the provisional stage import prices have been adjusted upwards by 4,5 %. This duty corresponds to the customs duty applied to CN code 87087050.
French: En ce qui concerne les droits de douane, au stade provisoire, les prix à l’importation ont été ajustés à la hausse de 4,5 %, ce qui correspond au droit de douane appliqué au code NC 87087050.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda i dazi doganali, nella fase provvisoria i prezzi all’importazione sono stati corretti aumentandoli del 4,5 %, percentuale corrispondente al dazio doganale applicato al codice NC 87087050.
English: However, in this particular case, doing so would be impracticable and/or inappropriate. That is because, as explained above, for determining the injury elimination level it is necessary to focus on OEM sales.
French: Toutefois, cette solution serait, en l’espèce, irréalisable et/ou inappropriée, puisque, comme expliqué plus haut, il faut, pour déterminer le niveau d’élimination du préjudice, se limiter aux ventes du segment OEM.
Italian: Tuttavia, nel caso specifico questo sarebbe impraticabile e/o inappropriato, perché, come si è spiegato sopra, è necessario, per determinare il livello di eliminazione del pregiudizio, considerare essenzialmente le vendite del segmento OEM.
English: Such an understanding is misguided. Although indeed the OEM wheels are sourced by car makers the use of both OEM and AM wheels is the same: they are fitted on cars and similar vehicles.
Italian: C’è un equivoco: anche se le ruote OEM sono destinate ai costruttori di automobili, l’uso delle ruote OEM e delle ruote AM è lo stesso, sono montate su automobili o veicoli simili.
English: The most common argument put forward was that the requirements for OEM wheels differ from those for AM wheels. According to that argument measures should not be imposed on OEM wheels because they are not interchangeable with AM wheels (they are purchased to meet the needs of different product markets and differ in terms of design, quality requirements, investment, production process, prices, and import penetration).
Italian: L’argomento più spesso avanzato è che le ruote OEM e AM rispondono a requisiti diversi e quindi non sarebbero necessarie misure nei confronti delle ruote OEM perché non sono intercambiabili con le ruote AM (sono acquistate per soddisfare le necessità di mercati di prodotti diversi e differiscono per concezione, requisiti di qualità, investimento, processo di produzione, prezzo e penetrazione delle importazioni).
English: In its submission, YHI Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co. Ltd also refers to Article 4(5) of the Anti-Subsidy basic Regulation [5] which states that ‘any determination of specificity (…) shall be clearly substantiated on the basis of positive evidence’. The company mentions as well Article 4.2(b) of the Anti-Subsidy basic Regulation (objective criteria or conditions governing the eligibility of a subsidy implicating the specificity does not exist) and Article 10 of the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures defining a countervailing duty as ‘a duty levied for the purpose of offsetting any subsidy bestowed directly or indirectly upon the manufacture, production or export of a merchandise’.
Italian: Nelle sue osservazioni, YHI Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co. Ltd fa anche riferimento all’articolo 4, paragrafo 5, del regolamento di base antisovvenzioni [5], secondo cui «la determinazione della specificità […] dev’essere chiaramente suffragata da elementi di prova diretti», come pure all’articolo 4, paragrafo 2, lettera b), dello stesso regolamento (se la sovvenzione è subordinata a criteri o condizioni oggettivi non esiste specificità) e all’articolo 10 dell’accordo sulle sovvenzioni e le misure compensative, che definisce un dazio compensativo come «un dazio imposto per compensare una sovvenzione concessa, direttamente o indirettamente, per la fabbricazione, la produzione o l’esportazione di una merce».
Slovak: Vo svojom podnete sa YHI Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. tiež odvoláva na článok 4 ods. 5 základného protisubvenčného nariadenia [5], v ktorom sa uvádza, že „každé určenie špecifickosti v zmysle ustanovení tohto článku […] bude jasne zdôvodnené na základe nesporného dôkazu.“ Spoločnosť uvádza aj článok 4 ods. 2 písm. b) základného protisubvenčného nariadenia (objektívne kritériá alebo podmienky, za ktorých má podnik nárok na subvenciu implikujúce špecifickosť, neexistujú) a článok 10 dohody o subvenčných a vyrovnávacích opatreniach, v ktorom sa vyrovnávacie clo vymedzuje ako „clo uložené s cieľom kompenzácie subvencií poskytnutých priamo alebo nepriamo pre výrobu, vývoz alebo prepravu výrobku“.
Latvian: YHI Manufacturing (Shanghai) Co. Ltd savā iesniegumā atsaucas arī uz antisubsīdiju pamatregulas 4. panta 5. punktu, kas nosaka: “Jebkura īpašu iezīmju noteikšana (..) ir skaidri jāpamato ar tiešiem pierādījumiem.”Uzņēmums piemin arī 4. panta 2. punkta b) apakšpunktu antisubsīdiju pamatregulā [5] (objektīvi kritēriji vai nosacījumi, kuri reglamentē tiesības uz subsīdiju un norāda, ka nav īpašu iezīmju) un 10. pantu Nolīgumā par subsīdijām un kompensācijas pasākumiem, kurā kompensācijas maksājums definēts kā “maksājums, kas uzlikts, lai kompensētu jebkuru subsīdiju, kas tieši vai netieši piešķirta par ražojuma izgatavošanu, ražošanu vai eksportēšanu”.
English: It has been claimed that, according to Article 2(11) of the basic Anti-dumping regulation, dumping calculations should be based on ‘all export transactions to the Community’; in other words, they consider that 100 % of the transactions should be taken into consideration when calculating dumping margins. It has been also argued that the most expensive transactions, in particular for one of the companies investigated, have not been taken into account when calculating dumping margins.
Italian: Per quanto riguarda l’argomento riguardante il numero di transazioni di cui tener conto, va precisato che l’articolo 2, paragrafo 11, del regolamento di base antidumping dispone che il calcolo del margine di dumping deve basarsi su «tutte le transazioni di esportazione nella Comunità», ma fatte «salve le disposizioni pertinenti relative all’equo confronto».
English: This means that, if it is impossible to reach a reasonable matching for 100 % of the products, it will not be possible to take into account 100 % of the export transactions. This is considered reasonable provided the calculations are based on a sufficiently large percentage of total export transactions.
Italian: Questo è considerato ragionevole, purché i calcoli siano basati su una percentuale sufficientemente elevata del totale delle transazioni.
English: It is recalled that the provisional Regulation specified market shares of OEM and AM imports from the PRC. These market shares have been specified on the basis of information on file at the provisional stage, based on data provided by the EU producers, exporters as well as car makers.
Italian: Si ricorda che nel regolamento provvisorio erano specificate le quote di mercato delle importazioni di ruote OEM e AM dalla RPC, determinate in base dei dati disponibili nella fase provvisoria, forniti dai produttori UE, dagli esportatori e dai costruttori di automobili.
English: Some parties claimed that some EU producers should have been excluded due to the fact that they did not provide full information about their activities. The parties further claimed that this exclusion would have had an impact on standing.
Italian: Alcune parti hanno sostenuto che certi produttori UE avrebbero dovuto essere esclusi perché non hanno fornito informazioni complete sulle loro attività e che questa esclusione avrebbe modificato la situazione dell’industria dell’Unione.
English: These allegations however have not been confirmed by evidence. Above all it was not clear whether such imports would have affected any significant quantities.
Italian: Queste affermazioni non sono però confermate da prove e soprattutto non risulta chiaro se queste importazioni riguardano quantità significative.
