English: It was thus argued by the GOC that the Commission request has to be considered inconsistent with the rules of evidence and consultation under the SCM Agreement. It was also submitted by the GOC that the information provided by the Commission with respect to these schemes was general and that, even assuming that these programs can be investigated, the Commission should send a new, sufficiently substantiated request to the GOC, requesting it to provide details on the newly-alleged subsidies that would be relevant to the investigation.
Lithuanian: Todėl KLR vyriausybė tvirtino, kad Komisijos prašymą reikia vertinti kaip neatitinkantį Susitarimo dėl subsidijų ir kompensacinių priemonių įrodymų ir konsultacijų taisyklių Be to, KLR vyriausybė teigė, kad Komisijos pateikta informacija apie šias schemas buvo bendro pobūdžio ir kad net manant, jog šias programas galima nagrinėti, Komisija KLR vyriausybei turėtų pateikti naują ir pakankamai pagrįstą prašymą, kuriame būtų nurodyta pateikti išsamią informaciją apie naujas tariamas subsidijas, kuri būtų susijusi su tyrimu.
English: Therefore the amount of subsidy was allocated over the total sales turnover of the companies of APP group in line with Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation which reads as follows: ‘Where the subsidy is not granted by reference to the quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported, the amount of countervailable subsidy should be determined by allocating the value of the total subsidy, as appropriate, over the level of production, sales or exports of the products concerned during the investigation period for subsidisation’. Since this subsidy is not linked to production of any particular product or exports, the total sales turnover of the company is the most appropriate denominator.
Lithuanian: Todėl subsidijos suma buvo paskirstyta visai APP grupės bendrovių pardavimo apyvartai pagal pagrindinio reglamento 7 straipsnio 2 dalį, kurioje nustatyta taip: „Jei subsidija suteikta nesiejant jos su perdirbtų, pagamintų, eksportuotų ar transportuotų prekių kiekiais, kompensuotinos subsidijos dydis nustatomas visos subsidijos vertę atitinkamai paskirstant pagal aptariamųjų prekių gamybos, pardavimo arba eksporto mastą subsidijavimo tiriamuoju laikotarpiu.“ Kadangi ši subsidija nesusijusi su jokio konkretaus produkto gamyba ar eksportu, tinkamiausias vardiklis – bendrovės pardavimo apyvarta.
English: The party further claimed that on the basis of some other tests conducted in its own laboratory measuring the resistance to picking of web rolls produced by the Union producers, it can be seen that these products would not fall into the current product definition which would show that the criterion of ‘resistance to picking’ for distinguishing CFP used in web-fed and sheet-fed printing is unsuitable. With this evidence the party alleged that the exclusion of web rolls was made on an arbitrary basis.
Latvian: Turklāt tā apgalvoja, ka, pamatojoties uz dažu citu pārbaužu rezultātiem, kas veikti tā laboratorijā un kas gūti, mērot Savienības ražotāju ražotu ruļļpadeves iespiedmašīnām paredzētu ruļļu virsmas noturību, ir skaidrs, ka uz šiem ražojumiem neattiecas pašreizējā ražojuma definīcija, saskaņā ar kuru minētais virsmas noturības kritērijs nav piemērots, lai nošķirtu ruļļpadeves iespiedmašīnām paredzēto krītoto papīru no lokšņpadeves iespiedmašīnām paredzētā krītotā papīra.
English: With respect to the scheduling of the on-the-spot verification, it is recalled that the GOC agreed to the timing, the schedule of visit and the venue. Indeed, discussions on the timing of the on-the-spot visit took place in August 2010.
Latvian: Attiecībā uz pārbaudes uz vietas plānojumu jāatgādina, ka ĶV ir piekritusi pārbaudes laikam, grafikam un vietai.
English: In that respect, it should be noted that the relevant turnover has been determined on a basis which ensures that it reflects as closely as possible the sales value of the products sold by the recipient company. This change is already reflected in the recitals dealing with the calculation of subsidy margins and in the resulting subsidy margins for the individual schemes concerned.
Latvian: Šajā saistībā jāatzīmē, ka attiecīgo apgrozījumu noteica, izmantojot pamatu, kas pēc iespējas nodrošina saņēmēja uzņēmējsabiedrības pārdoto ražojumu tirdzniecības vērtības atspoguļojumu … Izmaiņas jau atspoguļojas apsvērumā par subsīdijas normu aprēķinu un gala subsīdijas normās attiecīgajām individuālajām shēmām.
English: In a subsequent submission the exporting producer also claimed that the same company failed to fully cooperate as it filed its questionnaire reply on behalf of a non-existing entity and that the audited accounts of the company do not reflect the data provided in its questionnaire reply. The conclusions in the preceding recital are relevant also in this regard.
Latvian: Iesniedzot papildu informāciju, ražotājs eksportētājs apgalvoja, ka tas pats uzņēmums nav pilnībā sadarbojies, jo anketas atbildes sniedzis nepastāvošas juridiskas personas vārdā, un ka uzņēmuma revidētie pārskati neatspoguļo anketas atbildēs sniegtos datus.
English: Firstly, it should be noted that the statements referred to by the exporting producer were presented in investigations under other jurisdictions and by different parties than the ones in the current proceedings and thus are not relevant. Secondly, the US authorities in the mentioned investigations concluded that there was a clear distinction between on one hand CFP used in sheet-fed printing and on the other hand rolls suitable for use in web-fed printing.
Maltese: L-ewwel, wieħed għandu jinnota li l-istqarrijiet imsemmija hawn fuq mill-produttur esportatur kienu ppreżentati fl-investigazzjonijiet f’ġurisdizzjonijiet oħra u minn partijiet differenti minn dawk fil-proċedimenti preżenti u għalhekk mhumiex relevanti It-tieni, l-awtoritajiet tal-Istati Uniti fl-investigazzjonijiet imsemmija kkonkludew li hemm distinzjoni ċara bejn, fuq naħa, is-CFP użata fl-istampar sheet-fed u, fuq in-naħa l-oħra, ir-rombli xierqa għall-użu fl-istampar web-fed.
English: Therefore, the way the GOC and the exporting producers cooperated does not meet the standards established by the WTO Appellate Body in United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan, which concluded that the level of cooperation required of interested parties is a ‘high’ one and that interested parties must act to the ‘best of their abilities’ [12]. The Commission fails to understand why it was not possible to the GOC and the exporting producers to submit/arrange the missing items and no credible explanation was provided by the GOC or the exporting prodcuers.
Maltese: Għalhekk, il-mod tal-GTĊ u l-produtturi esportaturi kkooperaw ma jissodisfax l-istandards stabbiliti mill-Korp tal-Appell tad-WTO fil- United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan, li kkonkludew li l-livell ta’ kooperazzjoni meħtieġa tal-partijiet interessati hija waħda “għolja” u li l-partijiet interessati għandhom jagħmlu “l-ħila kollha tagħhom” [12] Il-Kummissjoni naqset li tifhem għaliex ma kienx possibbli għall-GTĊ u l-produtturi esportaturi li jissottomettu/jirranġaw it-temi neqsin u l-ebda spjegazzjoni kredibbli ma ngħatat mill-GTĊ jew l-produtturi esportaturi.
English: Following the above, the ability of the four representative Union producers to invest became limited as the cash flow significantly deteriorated during the period considered, except for the IP. As a consequence, the investments dropped by 35 % during the period considered and were limited to the installation of cogeneration plants that helped the Union producers to mitigate the effect of continuously raising energy costs.
Maltese: Wara dan ta’ hawn fuq, l-abilità l-erba’ produtturi rappreżentattivi tal-Unjoni li jinvestu saret limitata peress li l-fluss tal-flus ddeterjora b’mod sinifikanti matul il-perijodu kkunsidrat, bl-eċċezzjoni għall-PI, Bħala konsegwenza, l-investimenti naqsu bi 35 % matul il-perijodu kkunsidrat u kienu limitati għall-installazzjoni ta’ impjanti ta’ koġenerazzjoni li għinu lill-produtturi tal-Unjoni jnaqqsu l-effett tal-ispejjeż dejjem jiżdiedu tal-enerġija.
English: In any case, it is noted that when analysing macro indicators such as production volume, capacity, sales volume and market share the acquisition had a neutral effect since macro indicators are assessed with respect to all Union producers constituting the Union industry as defined in recital (372). In other words these factors should remain overall unchanged in case of a change in the ownership.
Maltese: Fi kwalunkwe każ, ta’ min jinnota li fl-analiżi tal-makroindikaturi bħall-volum tal-produzzjoni, il-kapaċità, il-volum tal-bejgħ u s-sehem mis-suq, l-akkwist kellu effett newtrali billi l-makroindikaturi jiġu evalwati fir-rigward tal-produtturi kollha tal-Unjoni li jikkostitwixxu l-industrija tal-Unjoni kif definit fil-premessa (372) Fi kliem ieħor, dawn il-fatturi għandhom jibqgħu fil-biċċa l-kbira mhux mibdula fil-każ ta’ bidla tas-sid.
English: CFP is high quality paper and paperboard generally used for the printing of reading material such as magazines, catalogues, annual reports, yearbooks. The product concerned includes both sheets and rolls suitable for use in sheet-fed (‘cut star’) printing machines.
Dutch: GFP is papier en karton van hoge kwaliteit dat gewoonlijk gebruikt wordt voor het drukken van publicaties als tijdschriften, catalogussen, jaarverslagen, jaarboeken, enz. Het betrokken product omvat zowel bladen als rollen die geschikt zijn voor gebruik in vellenpersen (CutStar-drukmachines).
English: With respect to LUR the GOC argued that the use of an external benchmark is illegal by making reference to Article 14(d) of the SCM Agreement and the Appellate Body in US – Softwood Lumber IV. It was submitted that EU and WTO law restricts the use of external benchmarks to very exceptional circumstances i.e. only when private market prices are distorted because of the government's predominant role as a provider of the good or service in question.
Dutch: Wat de grondgebruiksrechten betreft, argumenteerde de GOC dat het onwettig was om een externe benchmark te gebruiken; zij verwees daarbij naar artikel 14, onder d), van de SCM-overeenkomst en naar het orgaan voor geschillenbeslechting in VS – zacht timmerhout IV. Er werd aangevoerd dat de EU- en WTO-wetgevingen het gebruik van externe benchmarks beperken tot vrij uitzonderlijke omstandigheden, en het bijvoorbeeld alleen toelaten wanneer de prijzen op de privémarkt verstoord zijn door de predominante rol van de overheid als verstrekker van het desbetreffende goed of de desbetreffende dienst.
English: This scheme is implemented with the Notice of Shandong Province concerning the special award Fund Budget in 2008 for the Development of Self Exporting Brand [Lucaiqizhi (2008) No. 75]. This scheme provides grants to companies in order to boost exporting brands and increase the market share of famous brands.
Polish: Program ten jest wdrażany na podstawie obwieszczenia prowincji Szantung w sprawie specjalnych środków budżetowych na nagrody w 2008 r. na rozwój marek eksportowanych samodzielnie [Lucaiqizhi nr 75 z 2008 r. Program ten zapewnia dotacje dla przedsiębiorstw w celu promowania eksportowania marek i zwiększenia udziału słynnych marek w rynku.
English: The currency depreciation was calculated on the basis of inflation rates for Taiwan as published by the IMF in its 2009 World Economic Outlook. In accordance with Article 7(3) of the basic Regulation this subsidy amount (numerator) has been allocated to the IP using the normal life time of the land-use right for industrial use land in China, i.e. 50 years.
Polish: Wartość zmiany kursu walutowego została obliczona na podstawie poziomu inflacji dla Tajwanu, zgodnie z publikacją MFW World Economic Outlook z 2009 r. Zgodnie z art. 7 ust. 3 rozporządzenia podstawowego kwota tego subsydium (licznik) została przydzielona do OD przy zastosowaniu normalnego okresu korzystania z prawa do użytkowania gruntów przemysłowych w Chinach tj. 50 lat.
English: With regard to both the amount of funding and the issue of de-facto specificity, the panel disregarded the evidence submitted by the EU and substituted the solution proposed by the complainant (the USA) for its findings [11]. This was not the case in the present investigation as the Commission did not disregard any data provided by the GOC and simply substitute the solution proposed by the complainant but rather used the totality of information it had available to come to a conclusion.
Polish: W odniesieniu do wysokości środków oraz kwestii rzeczywistej szczególności panel pominął przedstawione przez UE dowody i zastąpił swoje ustalenia rozwiązaniem zaproponowanym przez skarżącego (USA) [11] Nie jest tak w przypadku obecnego dochodzenia, gdyż Komisja nie odrzuciła żadnych informacji przekazanych przez rząd ChRL, zastępując je rozwiązaniem zaproponowanym przez skarżącego, ale wykorzystała wszystkie dostępne informacje do wypracowania wniosków.
English: Secondly, this is a tax incentive that leads to government revenue forgone in line with the definition of a subsidy as set out in Article 1(1)(a) of the SCM Agreement and Article 3(a) of the basic Regulation. As to the claim that this incentive aims at avoiding double taxation it is noted that although the SCM Agreement has recognized that WTO Members are not limited from taking measures to avoid double taxation (see SCM Agreement, Annex I, footnote 59), this provision is an ‘affirmative defence’ and no concrete evidence was provided to corroborate the claim that e.g. dividends from resident and non-resident enterprises are treated differently because of legal obligations that the PRC has undertaken under relevant bilateral double taxation agreements with third countries.
Polish: Po drugie stanowi on zachętę podatkową, która prowadzi do utraty dochodów władz publicznych, jak w definicji subsydium znajdującej się w art. 1 ust. 1 lit. a) Porozumienia w sprawie subsydiów i środków wyrównawczych oraz art. 3 lit. a) rozporządzenia podstawowego W odniesieniu do twierdzenia, że celem tej zachęty jest uniknięcie podwójnego opodatkowania, należy zauważyć, że choć w Porozumieniu w sprawie subsydiów i środków wyrównawczych stwierdzono, że członkowie WTO mogą wprowadzać środki mające na celu uniknięcie podwójnego opodatkowania (zob. Porozumienie w sprawie subsydiów i środków wyrównawczych, załącznik I, przypis 59), zapis ten stanowi „obronę pozytywną” i nie przedstawiono konkretnych dowodów na potwierdzenie twierdzenia, że dywidendy przedsiębiorstw będących i niebędących rezydentami są traktowane w odmienny sposób z powodu prawnych zobowiązań przyjętych przez ChRL w ramach odpowiednich dwustronnych umów o unikaniu podwójnego opodatkowania zawartych z państwami trzecimi.
English: Eurostat for imports from third countries duly adjusted on the basis of information provided by the Union producers for products not covered by the proceedings. The investigation has found, based on evidence provided, that these assumptions were reasonable and justified;
Slovak: údajov Eurostatu o dovoze z tretích krajín, náležite upravených na základe informácií týkajúcich sa výrobkov, na ktoré sa nevzťahuje toto konanie, ktoré poskytli výrobcovia z Únie, prešetrovaním sa na základe predložených dôkazov zistilo, že tieto predpoklady boli primerané a opodstatnené,
Polish: danych Eurostatu dotyczących przywozu z państw trzecich, odpowiednio dostosowanych na podstawie informacji na temat produktów nieobjętych postępowaniem dostarczonych przez producentów unijnych; w ramach dochodzenia ustalono na podstawie przedstawionych dowodów, że te założenia były racjonalne i uzasadnione;
English: The GOC accepted the offer of consultations and consultations were subsequently held. During the consultations, no mutually agreed solution could be arrived at.
Portuguese: O Governo da RPC aceitou participar nas consultas, que foram realizadas subsequentemente, mas não foi possível alcançar uma solução por mútuo acordo.
English: The evidence submitted on the suitability of the core size as an alternative criterion in the definition however proved that this criterion would lead to the possible exclusion of product concerned, i.e. cutter rolls with a core size of less than 80 mm from the measures. Therefore this criterion to define rolls suitable for use in web-fed printing was abandoned.
Portuguese: Os elementos de prova apresentados em relação à adequação da dimensão do núcleo como critério alternativo a incluir na definição mostraram, todavia, que este critério implicaria a possível exclusão do produto em causa (ou seja, rolos para corte com um núcleo inferior a 80 mm) das medidas Por conseguinte, abandonou-se este critério para definir rolos destinados à impressão em prensas rotativas.
English: In doing so, the Commission came to the preliminary conclusion that the lack of information and supporting documents available did not allow a proper verification of the reply to the questionnaire. Moreover, certain information was not submitted at all although it was specifically requested, and certain questions had not been answered.
Portuguese: Ao fazê-lo, a Comissão chegou à conclusão preliminar de que a falta de informações e de documentos comprovativos disponíveis não permitia a verificação adequada das respostas ao questionário.
English: With respect to the above as explained in recitals (68) to (72) both GOC and the cooperating exporting producers were requested to provide information on the lending policies of the Chinese banks and the way loans were attributed to the exporting producers. Parties failed to provide such information although repeatedly requested to do so.
Portuguese: Como se explica nos considerandos 68 a 72, solicitou-se tanto ao Governo da RPC como aos produtores-exportadores colaborantes que facultassem informação sobre a política de crédito dos bancos chineses e o modo como os empréstimos tinham sido concedidos aos produtores-exportadores.
English: The GOC was made aware of the existence of these programmes and was requested to provide necessary information on them. The GOC submitted that any programme which was not included in the complaint cannot be investigated, as this is contrary to the WTO rules.
Portuguese: O Governo da RPC foi informado da existência destes programas e pediu-se-lhe que facultasse as informações pertinentes necessárias, ao que respondeu que qualquer programa que não estivesse incluído na denúncia não poderia ser objecto de inquérito, pois tal seria contrário às regras da OMC.
English: As already described in the recital (359) above, there is no functioning land market in China. Therefore it is not appropriate to use today's Chinese LUR prices as a benchmark.
Portuguese: Como já se explicou no considerando 359, não existe um verdadeiro mercado fundiário na China, pelo que não é adequado utilizar como referência os preços chineses actuais dos direitos de utilização de terrenos.
English: The four representative Union producers increased their stock levels by 10 % during the period considered, in particular between 2006 and 2007 and later between 2008 and the IP. Notably, this coincided with the surge in the low-priced subsidised imports from the PRC.
Portuguese: Os quatro produtores representativos da União aumentaram em 10 % os seus níveis de existências durante o período considerado, em especial entre 2006 e 2007 e, mais tarde, entre 2008 e o PI, o que coincidiu, nomeadamente, com o aumento repentino das importações subvencionadas e a preços baixos provenientes da RPC.
English: At the same time the market share of Chinese imports increased by 3 percentage points. This shows that the Union industry's market share has largely been taken over by the subsidised imports from the PRC.
Portuguese: Ao mesmo tempo, a parte de mercado das importações chinesas aumentou 3 %, o que demonstra que a parte de mercado da indústria da União foi, em grande medida, absorvida pelas importações subvencionadas da China.
English: It is therefore considered that the continued pressure exercised by the low-priced subsidised imports from the PRC on the Union market did not allow the Union industry to adapt its sales prices to the increased raw material costs, in particular in 2008, when pulp prices peaked. This led to the loss in market share and the loss in profitability of the Union industry.
Portuguese: Considera-se, pois, que a pressão contínua exercida sobre o mercado da União pelas importações subvencionadas a baixos preços provenientes da RPC não permitiu que a indústria da União adaptasse os seus preços de venda a fim de ter em conta o aumento dos custos das matérias-primas, em particular em 2008, quando os preços da pasta de papel atingiram um ponto culminante, o que levou à redução da parte de mercado e à perda de rendibilidade da indústria da União.
Swedish: Det anses därför att den fortsatta press som den subventionerade lågprisimporten från Kina utövade på unionsmarknaden gjorde det omöjligt för unionsindustrin att anpassa sina försäljningspriser till de ökade råvarupriserna, framför allt under 2008 när massapriserna var som högst.
English: In contrast to this claim the representative Union producers sold the majority of their products through merchants either directly or indirectly (so called indent sales when products are directly shipped to the customer but ordering and invoicing process goes through merchants). Indeed merchants play a crucial role in both stocking products and providing price transparency to the market.
Romanian: Această afirmație este dezmințită de faptul că producătorii reprezentativi din Uniune au vândut majoritatea produselor lor prin intermediul unor comercianți, fie direct, fie indirect (așa-numitele vânzări prin ordin de cumpărare: produsele sunt expediate direct cumpărătorului, dar procedura de comandă și de facturare se realizează prin intermediul comercianților) Astfel, comercianții joacă un rol esențial atât în stocarea produselor, cât și în garantarea transparenței prețurilor de pe piață.
English: In addition, Article 34 of the Law on Commercial Banks [2003] No. 13 states that banks ‘carry out their loan business upon the needs of the national economy and the social development and under the guidance of the state industrial policy’. In this particular case the relevant state industrial policy is the 2007 Papermaking Plan.
Slovak: Okrem toho je v článku 34 zákona č. 13 o komerčných bankách (z roku 2003) napísané, že banky „udeľujú pôžičky na základe potrieb národného hospodárstva a sociálneho rozvoja a riadiac sa štátnou priemyselnou politikou.“ V tomto konkrétnom prípade je štátnou priemyselnou politikou plán výroby papiera na rok 2007.
English: It is noted that Article 28(6) states that ‘If an interested party does not cooperate, or cooperates only partially, so that relevant information is thereby withheld, the result may be less favourable to the party than if it had co-operated’. The facts considered included the following:
Slovak: Je potrebné poznamenať, že v článku 28 ods. 6 sa uvádza, že „ak zainteresovaná strana nespolupracuje alebo spolupracuje len čiastočne, čím dôjde k zadržiavaniu dôležitých informácií, výsledok pre túto stranu môže byť menej priaznivý, než keby bola spolupracovala.“ Zohľadnené fakty zahŕňali:
