2.1.   SCHEMES ORIGINALLY INVESTIGATED AND USED BY THE COMPANY

2.1.1.   Export Oriented Unit Scheme (EOUS)/Special Economic Zones Scheme (SEZS)

(a)   Legal basis

| (13) | These schemes are based on the Foreign Trade (Development and Regulation) Act 1992 (No 22 of 1992) which entered into force on 7 August 1992 (Foreign Trade Act). This act authorises the GOI to issue notifications regarding trade policy, formerly called ‘Export-Import Policy’ and since 1 September 2004 named ‘Foreign Trade Policy’. The Foreign Trade Policy 2004 to 2009 (FTP), which incorporates the Export and Import Policy 2002 to 2007, is relevant to the review investigation period of this case. In addition, the GOI also sets out the procedures governing the FTP in a ‘Handbook of Procedures Volume I’ (HOP I) (4). |

(b)   Eligibility

| (15) | With the exception of pure trading companies, all enterprises which, in principle, undertake to export their entire production of goods or services may be set up under the EOUS or SEZS. However, unlike services and agriculture, undertakings in the industrial sectors have to fulfil a minimum investment threshold in fixed assets (INR 10 million) to be eligible for the EOUS. |

However, unlike services and agriculture, undertakings in the industrial sectors have to fulfil a minimum investment threshold in fixed assets (INR 10 million) to be eligible for the EOUS.

(c)   Practical implementation

| (16) | The SEZS is the successor scheme of the former Export Processing Zones Scheme (EPZS). SEZs are specifically delineated duty free enclaves and considered by the FTP as foreign territory for the purpose of trade operations, duties and taxes. Thirty five SEZs have been approved by the Indian authorities. |

| (18) | An application for operation under these schemes must include details for a period of the next five years on, inter alia, planned production quantities, projected value of exports, import requirements and indigenous requirements. If the authorities accept the company’s application, the terms and conditions attached to the acceptance is communicated to the company. The agreement recognising the company as an undertaking under the EOUS or SEZS is valid for a five-year period. The agreement may be renewed for further periods. |

inter alia

| (19) | A crucial obligation of an EOU or an SEZ enterprise as set out in the FTP is to achieve net foreign exchange (NFE) earnings, i.e. in a reference period (five years) the total value of exports has to be higher than the total value of imported goods. |

| (21) | Although the concessions under both schemes are largely comparable, some differences exist. For instance, only an EOU can obtain a 50 % reduction of duties payable upon domestic sales (DTA sales), whereas in an SEZ 100 % of the duties are payable on such sales. An EOU unit can sell up to 50 % of its turnover domestically at such reduced rate. |

| (25) | Domestic sales are dispatched and recorded on a self-certification basis without prior intimation of specific transactions. The dispatch process of export consignments of an EOU is supervised by a customs/excise official, who is permanently posted in the EOU. The company is obliged to reimburse the GOI for the salary of such permanent bond officer. |

| (27) | In the present case, the EOUS was used by the applicant. As the SEZS was not used, it is therefore not necessary to analyse the countervailability of this scheme. The applicant utilised the EOUS to import raw materials and capital goods free of import duties, to procure goods domestically free of excise duty, to obtain sales tax reimbursement as well as duty drawback on furnace oil and to sell part of its production on the domestic market. Thus, it availed of all benefits as described in recital 20 under (i) to (v). The applicant did not avail of benefits under the income tax exemption provisions of the EOUS (see recital 53). |

The applicant utilised the EOUS to import raw materials and capital goods free of import duties, to procure goods domestically free of excise duty, to obtain sales tax reimbursement as well as duty drawback on furnace oil and to sell part of its production on the domestic market. Thus, it availed of all benefits as described in recital 20 under (i) to (v). The applicant did not avail of benefits under the income tax exemption provisions of the EOUS (see recital 53).

(d)   Conclusions on the EOUS

| (28) | The exemptions of an EOU from two types of import duties (the basic customs duty and special additional customs duty), the reimbursement of sales tax and the duty drawback on furnace oil are financial contributions of the GOI within the meaning of Article 2(1)(a)(ii) of the basic Regulation. Government revenue which would be due in the absence of this scheme is forgone, thus, in addition, conferring a benefit within the meaning of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation upon the applicant, because it saved liquidity by not having to pay duties normally due and by obtaining a sales tax reimbursement. |

| (29) | The exemptions from excise duty and its import duty equivalent (the additional customs duty), however, do not lead to revenue forgone which is otherwise due. Excise and additional customs duty, if paid, could be used as a credit for own future duty liabilities (the CENVAT mechanism). Therefore, these duties are not definitive. By the means of CENVAT-credit only an added value bears a definitive duty for the company, not the input materials. |

| (30) | Thus, only the exemption from basic customs duty, special additional customs duty, the sales tax reimbursement and the duty drawback on furnace oil constitute subsidies within the meaning of Article 2 of the basic Regulation. They are contingent in law upon export performance, and therefore deemed to be specific and countervailable under Article 3(4)(a) of the basic Regulation. The export objective of an EOU as set out in paragraph 6.1 of the FTP is a conditio sine qua non to obtain the incentives. |

| (32) | Insofar as the sales tax reimbursement and import duty exemption provisions are used for purchasing capital goods, they are already not in conformity with the rules for permitted drawback systems because those goods are not consumed in the production process, as required by Annex I item (h) (sales tax reimbursement) and (i) (import duties remission). |

| (33) | In addition, and also concerning the other benefits which are available under this scheme, it is found that the GOI has no effective verification system or procedure in place to confirm whether and in what amounts duty free procured inputs or inputs subject to sales tax reimbursement and duty drawback on furnace oil were consumed in the production of the exported product (Annex II(II)(4) of the basic Regulation and, in the case of substitution drawback schemes, Annex III(II)(2) of the basic Regulation). |

| (34) | An EOU is allowed to sell a significant amount of its production, up to 50 % of its annual turnover, on the domestic market. Therefore, no obligation in law exists to export the total amount of manufactured resultant products. Moreover, due to the self-certification procedure these domestic transactions take place without the supervision and control of a government official. Consequently, the bonded premises of an EOU are at least in part not subject to a physical control by the Indian authorities. This, however, increases the importance of further verification elements, notably control of the nexus between duty free inputs and resultant export products in order to qualify as a duty drawback verification system. |

| (35) | Concerning further verification steps installed it should be recalled, as mentioned in recital 24, that an EOU is already de jure at no point in time required to co-relate every import consignment with the destination of the corresponding resultant product. Only such consignment controls, however, would provide the Indian authorities with sufficient information about the final destination of inputs to check that the duty exemptions, sales tax reimbursements and duty drawback on furnace oil do not exceed inputs for export production. Monthly tax returns for domestic sales on a self-assessment basis, which are periodically assessed by the Indian authorities, do not suffice. Company internal systems, which are kept without a legal obligation under the FTP, e.g. a batch sheets system, do not suffice to replace such key requirement for a duty drawback verification system either. In addition, a duty drawback verification system needs to be designed and enforced by a government and should not be left to the discretion of the management of each individual company concerned to set up an information system. Consequently, it is found that, since an EOU is explicitly not required by the Indian FTP to record the nexus between input materials and the resultant product, no effective control mechanism was set up by the GOI to determine which inputs were consumed in export production and in what amounts. |

| (37) | Upon disclosure, the applicant argued that not the same methodology, within the meaning of Article 22(4) of the basic Regulation, was used in the case at hand as compared with the original investigation when assessing the EOUS. It must be noted that exporters in the original investigation provided evidence that no excess remission occurred and for this reason the duty exemption on raw material procurements under the EOUS was originally not countervailed. |

Furthermore, in particular the fact that according to the Indian law EOUS exporters are not obliged to co-relate import consignments with the destination of the corresponding resultant product, constitutes a circumstance not established in the original investigation. Therefore, the scheme has been assessed in the present case in accordance with the provisions of Article 22(4) of the basic Regulation, which stipulates that new circumstances need to be considered. Consequently, the present finding, that the EOUS does not constitute a permitted duty drawback or substitution drawback system, is confirmed. |

(e)   Calculation of the subsidy amount

| (39) | Accordingly, in the absence of a permitted duty drawback system or substitution drawback system, the countervailable benefit is the remission of total import duties (basic customs duty and special additional customs duty) normally due upon importation, as well as the sales tax reimbursement and duty drawback on furnace oil, all during the review investigation period. |

| (40) | Upon disclosure, the applicant claimed that the subsidy amount, including interest adjustments for non recurring subsidies, should be calculated only on the basis of the seven months of the review investigation period during which it was in commercial operation. Alternatively, the applicant requested to consider only a 10-month period, which includes its trial production period. |

(i)   Exemption from import duties (basic customs duty and special additional customs duty) and sales tax reimbursement on raw materials

| (42) | The subsidy amount for the applicant was calculated on the basis of import duties forgone (basic customs duty and special additional customs duty) on the materials imported, as well as sales tax and the duty drawback on furnace oil eligible for reimbursement, all during the review investigation period. Fees necessarily incurred to obtain the subsidy were deducted in accordance with Article 7(1)(a) of the basic Regulation from this sum to arrive at the subsidy amount as numerator. In accordance with Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation this subsidy amount has been allocated over the export turnover as appropriate denominator, because the subsidy is contingent upon export performance and it was not granted by reference to the quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported. The subsidy rate thus obtained was 12,6 %. |

In such case and in line with Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation, both numerator and denominator were determined on the basis of the total product range of the applicant in order to allocate the subsidy amount attributable to the product concerned. The applicant did not substantiate that any alternative methodology would lead to a more precise result. In particular, it is noted that even if the claim was accepted, the denominator would be reduced pro rata, thus leading to the identical overall result. |

(ii)   Exemption from import duties (basic customs duty and special additional customs duty) on capital goods

| (45) | Unlike raw materials, capital goods are not physically incorporated into the finished goods. In accordance with Article 7(3) of the basic Regulation, the benefit to the investigated company has been calculated on the basis of the amount of unpaid customs duty on imported capital goods spread across a period which reflects the normal depreciation period of such capital goods in the industry of the product concerned (i.e. 18,465 years), which leads to a depreciation rate of rounded 5,42 %. The amount so calculated which is then attributable to the review investigation period has been adjusted by adding interest during this period in order to reflect the value of the benefit over time and thereby establishing the full benefit of this scheme to the recipient. The amount of interest added was based on the commercial interest rate during the review investigation period in India. Fees necessarily incurred to obtain the subsidy were deducted in accordance with Article 7(1)(a) of the basic Regulation from this sum to arrive at the subsidy amount as numerator. In accordance with Article 7(2) and (3) of the basic Regulation, this subsidy amount has been allocated over the export turnover generated during the review investigation period as appropriate denominator, because the subsidy is contingent upon export performance and it was not granted by reference to the quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported. The subsidy rate thus obtained was 0,9 %. |

(c)   Practical implementation

| (57) | Under this scheme, the RBI mandatory sets maximum ceiling interest rates applicable to export credits, both in Indian rupees or in foreign currency, which commercial banks can charge an exporter ‘with a view to making credit available to exporters at internationally competitive rates’. The ECS consists of two sub-schemes, the Pre-Shipment Export Credit Scheme (packing credit), which covers credits provided to an exporter for financing the purchase, processing, manufacturing, packing and/or shipping of goods prior to export, and the Post-Shipment Export Credit Scheme, which provides for working capital loans with the purpose of financing export receivables. The RBI also directs the banks to provide a certain amount of their net bank credit towards export finance. |

The RBI also directs the banks to provide a certain amount of their net bank credit towards export finance.

| (58) | As a result of these RBI Master Circulars, exporters can obtain export credits at preferential interest rates compared with the interest rates for ordinary commercial credits (cash credits), which are purely set under market conditions. In this respect, the Master Circular on Rupee Export Credit notes that ‘ceiling rates of interest on credit extended to exporters as prescribed in this Circular are lower than the maximum lending rates normally charged to other borrowers and are, therefore, indicated as concessive in this sense.’ |

Due to the RBI Master Circulars, the applicant enjoyed preferential interest rates for ECS credits as compared with its cash credit interest rates.

(d)   Conclusion on the ECS

| (60) | Firstly, the preferential interest rates of an ECS credit set by the RBI Master Circulars mentioned in recital 55 decreased interest costs of the applicant as compared with credit costs purely set by market conditions, thus conferring a benefit within the meaning of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation on it. Secondly, and despite the fact that the preferential credits under the ECS are granted by commercial banks, this benefit is to be considered as a financial contribution by a government within the meaning of Article 2(1)(iv) of the basic Regulation. In this context, it should be noted that neither Article 2(1)(iv) of the basic Regulation nor the WTO Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (‘ASCM’) require a charge on the public accounts, e.g. reimbursement of the commercial banks by the GOI, to establish a subsidy, but only government direction to carry out functions illustrated in points (i), (ii) or (iii) of Article 2(1) of the basic Regulation. The RBI is a public body and falls therefore under the definition of a ‘government’ as set out in Article 1(3) of the basic Regulation. It is 100 % government-owned, pursues public policy objectives, e.g. monetary policy, and its management is appointed by the GOI. The RBI directs private bodies in the sense that the commercial banks are bound by certain conditions, inter alia, (i) by the maximum ceilings for interest rates on export credits mandated in the RBI Master Circulars and (ii) by the RBI provisions that commercial banks have to provide a certain amount of their net bank credit towards export finance. This direction obliges commercial banks to carry out functions mentioned in Article 2(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation, in this case loans in the form of preferential export financing. Such direct transfer of funds in the form of loans under certain conditions would normally be vested in the government and, within the meaning of Article 2(1)(a)(iv) of the basic Regulation, the practice, in no real sense, differs from practices normally followed by governments. Furthermore, this subsidy is deemed to be specific and countervailable since the preferential interest rates are only available in relation to export financing and are therefore contingent upon export performance within the meaning of Article 3(4)(a) of the basic Regulation. |

| (61) | The subsidy amount has been calculated on the basis of the difference between the interest accrued for export credits used during the review investigation period and the amount that would have been payable if the same interest rates were applicable as for ordinary commercial credits used by the applicant. This subsidy amount (numerator) has been allocated over the total export turnover during the review investigation period as appropriate denominator in accordance with Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation, because the subsidy is contingent upon export performance and it was not granted by reference to the quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported. The ECS subsidy rate so established is 0,4 %. |

E.   AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED

| (64) | In accordance with Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation, the amount of the countervailing duty should be less than the total amount of countervailable subsidies, if such lesser duty were to be adequate to remove the injury to the Community industry. In the original investigation a general injury elimination level of 44,3 % was established, which is higher than the subsidy rate established for the applicant. |

In the original investigation a general injury elimination level of 44,3 % was established, which is higher than the subsidy rate established for the applicant.

| (65) | On the basis of the findings made during the review investigation, it is considered that imports of the product concerned into the Community produced and exported by the applicant should be subject to a level of countervailing duty corresponding to the individual rate of subsidies established for this company, i.e. 13,9 %. Since the duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000 took the form of a specific amount per tonne, the abovementioned duty rate for the applicant has also been converted into a specific amount of EUR 106,5 per tonne. |

(67)

The applicant offered a price undertaking concerning its exports of the product concerned to the Community, in accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation.

| (68) | After examination of the offer, the Commission considered the undertaking as acceptable since it would eliminate the injurious effects of subsidisation. Moreover, the regular and detailed reports which the applicant undertook to provide to the Commission will allow effective monitoring. Furthermore, the nature of the product and the sales structure of the applicant are such that the Commission considers that the risk of circumvention of the undertaking is limited. |

2.   Dumping

Normal value

| (13) | In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first examined whether the company’s total domestic sales of PET were representative in comparison with its total export sales to the Community. Since these sales amounted to more than 5 % of its total export sales volume to the Community, they were considered representative. |

(13)

In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first examined whether the company’s total domestic sales of PET were representative in comparison with its total export sales to the Community. Since these sales amounted to more than 5 % of its total export sales volume to the Community, they were considered representative.

| (14) | The Commission subsequently identified those types of PET sold domestically by the company that were identical or directly comparable to the types sold for export to the Community. |

(14)

The Commission subsequently identified those types of PET sold domestically by the company that were identical or directly comparable to the types sold for export to the Community.

| (15) | The investigation revealed that only two product types exported to the Community are identical or directly comparable to the products sold on the domestic market. For each of these two product types it was then examined whether domestic sales were sufficiently representative with respect to the corresponding export sales. Since the domestic sales of each of these types were significantly above the 5 % threshold, both product types were considered representative. |

For each of these two product types it was then examined whether domestic sales were sufficiently representative with respect to the corresponding export sales. Since the domestic sales of each of these types were significantly above the 5 % threshold, both product types were considered representative.

| (16) | An examination was also made as to whether the domestic sales of each product type could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, by establishing the proportion of the sales volume of the like product sold at a net sales price equal to or above the cost of production (profitable sales) to independent customers of the type in question. Since the volume of profitable sales of the product concerned represented less than 80 % but 10 % or more of the total sales volume, normal value was based on the actual domestic price, calculated as a weighted average of profitable sales of each type only. |

Export price

| (17) | Since all export sales of the product concerned to the Community were made directly to independent customers in the Community, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, namely on the basis of export prices actually paid or payable. |

Since all export sales of the product concerned to the Community were made directly to independent customers in the Community, the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, namely on the basis of export prices actually paid or payable.

Comparison

| (18) | For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between normal value and export price, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences affecting price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation. |

(18)

For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between normal value and export price, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences affecting price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.

| (19) | All the allowances claimed by the company on export sales have been accepted. These allowances are related to commissions, inland freight, ocean freight, insurance, handling charges, packaging expenses and bank charges. |

(19)

All the allowances claimed by the company on export sales have been accepted. These allowances are related to commissions, inland freight, ocean freight, insurance, handling charges, packaging expenses and bank charges.

| (20) | On domestic sales, allowances claimed for commissions, inland freight, insurance, packaging expenses and bank charges were accepted. However, allowances claimed by the company for indirect tax and import charges on the basis of Article 2(10)(b) of the basic Regulation and branch office expenses on the basis of Article 2(10)(k) of the basic Regulation were rejected for the reasons set out below. |

(20)

On domestic sales, allowances claimed for commissions, inland freight, insurance, packaging expenses and bank charges were accepted. However, allowances claimed by the company for indirect tax and import charges on the basis of Article 2(10)(b) of the basic Regulation and branch office expenses on the basis of Article 2(10)(k) of the basic Regulation were rejected for the reasons set out below.

| (21) | The claimed allowance for indirect taxes is based on the argument that the company’s domestic customers paid a non-recoverable amount of excise duty when purchasing the product concerned on the domestic market, whereas the company’s export customers were not subject to such duty. This non-recoverable excise duty amount was claimed as an adjustment to normal value. However, the normal value which was compared to the export price was established on the basis of the net domestic sales price excluding all taxes. Therefore, normal value did not include any excise duty having an impact on price and price comparability within the meaning of Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation. Furthermore, it was considered that the tax liability of the exporting producer’s domestic customers does not qualify for an adjustment under Article 2(10)(b) of the basic Regulation since such duty is not ‘borne by the like product and by materials physically incorporated therein’. The excise duty paid by the company’s domestic customers is charged upon the company’s net sales price and does not have any impact on the company’s production cost and price setting. As any difference in indirect duties on the domestic and the export market has already been taken fully into consideration by comparing the company’s net domestic sales prices with its net export sales prices, the company’s claim for allowance was rejected. |

borne by the like product and by materials physically incorporated therein

| (22) | Upon disclosure, the company argued that it would be irrelevant whether the comparison between normal value and export price was made on the basis of net prices, i.e. excluding all indirect taxes. It further argued that the excise duty would be borne by the like product and that it affected price comparability, insofar that domestic clients would not be fully reimbursed and had ultimately to pay a portion of the excise duty. Therefore, its clients would pay a higher price on the domestic market than customers on the export market. However, as mentioned above, the domestic price used as a normal value already excluded the excise duty and therefore, price comparability could not have been affected. Furthermore, the company did not submit any information or evidence showing that the comparability of the normal value and the export price was otherwise affected. These arguments had consequently to be rejected. |

These arguments had consequently to be rejected.

| (23) | The claimed allowance for import duty exemption was based on the argument that whenever the company sells the product concerned on the domestic market, import duties on raw materials would become payable in the form of an ‘increased’ excise duty. The term ‘increased’ excise duty refers to a different tax scheme applicable for the company as it is set up as an Export Oriented Unit (EOU), compared to other Indian (non-Export Oriented Unit) companies. Under this scheme, EOU companies were exempted from all import duties on raw materials, but subject to a higher excise duty rate in case goods produced by these companies were sold on the domestic market. Since no such excise duty is payable on export sales, the company requested the normal value to be adjusted accordingly. The claim was rejected as the company purchased raw materials duty free, regardless of whether the final product is sold domestically or is being exported. Therefore, no import duties were borne by the like product and by materials physically incorporated therein when intended for consumption on the domestic market, and not collected or refunded in respect of the product exported to the Community as required by Article 2(10)(b) of the basic Regulation. Thus, price comparability between the domestic and export market was not affected. It is also noted that the company was unable to prove the payment of any additional duty or indirect tax other than the excise duty on sales of the finished product which has been described in recital (21). It was finally not possible in any event to clearly identify whether and how much of the imported or locally purchased raw material was used in the production of the final product. |

| (24) | The company also claimed an allowance for the expenses of their local branch offices in charge of sales on the domestic market. The claim was rejected as these branch office expenses also included selling, general and administrative expenses for the sales of products other than the product concerned and could furthermore not be directly linked to the sales of the product concerned on the domestic market. The company consequently did not show whether the expenses of the branch offices had an impact on price or price comparability. Upon disclosure the company argued that it is producing only one product which is the product concerned. However, this contradicted the findings. Moreover and in accordance with Article 2(1) of the basic Regulation, what is relevant for the purpose of determining normal value is the sales price from the branch offices to the first independent customer. As the branch offices are part of the same legal entity and company structure, the company’s arguments were rejected and the claim for this allowance not warranted. |

D.   AMENDMENT OF THE MEASURES BEING REVIEWED

| (27) | In the light of the results of the investigation, it is considered that a definitive anti-dumping duty should be imposed at the level of the dumping margin found, but, in accordance with Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation, should not be higher than the countrywide injury margin established for India in the investigation which lead to the imposition of the existing measures. |
| --- | --- |

(27)

In the light of the results of the investigation, it is considered that a definitive anti-dumping duty should be imposed at the level of the dumping margin found, but, in accordance with Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation, should not be higher than the countrywide injury margin established for India in the investigation which lead to the imposition of the existing measures.

| (28) | No individual injury margin can be established in a new exporter review since the investigation, pursuant to Article 11(4) of the basic Regulation, is limited to the examination of the individual dumping margin. Therefore, the dumping margin was compared to the countrywide injury margin as established for India by the definitive Regulation. Since the latter was higher than the dumping margin, the level of the measures should be based on the dumping margin. |

Therefore, the dumping margin was compared to the countrywide injury margin as established for India by the definitive Regulation. Since the latter was higher than the dumping margin, the level of the measures should be based on the dumping margin.

| (29) | In accordance with Article 14(1) of the basic Regulation and Article 24(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2026/97, no product shall be subject to both anti-dumping and countervailing duties for the purpose of dealing with one and the same situation arising from dumping or from export subsidisation. |

| (30) | In the parallel accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000, an individual countervailing duty rate of EUR 106,5 per tonne corresponding to an ad valorem countervailing duty rate of 13,9 % was established for the company. |

In the parallel accelerated review of Regulation (EC) No 2603/2000, an individual countervailing duty rate of EUR 106,5 per tonne corresponding to an ad valorem countervailing duty rate of 13,9 % was established for the company.

ad valorem

| (31) | As all of the subsidies in the parallel accelerated review were found to be export subsidies, the anti-dumping duty needs to be adjusted to reflect the actual dumping margin remaining after the imposition of the countervailing duties offsetting the effect of these subsidies. |
| --- | --- |

(31)

As all of the subsidies in the parallel accelerated review were found to be export subsidies, the anti-dumping duty needs to be adjusted to reflect the actual dumping margin remaining after the imposition of the countervailing duties offsetting the effect of these subsidies.

| (32) | Accordingly, the anti-dumping duty applicable to the CIF Community-frontier price and taking into account the results of the parallel anti-subsidy proceeding, shall be:










  Company | Injury Margin | Dumping Margin | Countervailing duty rate | Anti-dumping duty rate | Proposed anti-dumping duty

| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| South Asian Petrochem Limited | 44,3  % | 25,5  % | 13,9  % | 11,6  % | 88,9 |

E.   RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF THE ANTI-DUMPING DUTY

| (33) | As the review has resulted in a determination of dumping in respect of the company, the anti-dumping duty applicable to the company should be levied retroactively on imports of the product concerned which have been made subject to registration pursuant to Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 33/2005. |

COUNCIL DECISION

of 28 July 2005

on the existence of an excessive deficit in Italy

(2005/694/EC)

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 104(6) thereof,

Having regard to the recommendation from the Commission,

Having regard to the observations made by Italy,

Whereas:

| (1) | According to Article 104 of the Treaty Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

According to Article 104 of the Treaty Member States are to avoid excessive government deficits.

| (2) | The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation. |
| --- | --- |

(2)

The Stability and Growth Pact is based on the objective of sound government finances as a means of strengthening the conditions for price stability and for strong sustainable growth conducive to employment creation.

| (3) | The excessive deficit procedure under Article 104 provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (1), lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provision of the said Protocol. |
| --- | --- |

(3)

The excessive deficit procedure under Article 104 provides for a decision on the existence of an excessive deficit. The Protocol on the excessive deficit procedure annexed to the Treaty sets out further provisions relating to the implementation of the excessive deficit procedure. Council Regulation (EC) No 3605/93 (1), lays down detailed rules and definitions for the application of the provision of the said Protocol.

| (4) | Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. The Commission addressed such an opinion on Italy to the Council on 29 June 2005. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that there exists an excessive deficit in Italy. In delivering its assessment, the Commission has taken into account the Ecofin Report to the European Council on ‘Improving the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact’, endorsed by the latter on 22 March 2005. |
| --- | --- |

(4)

Article 104(5) of the Treaty requires the Commission to address an opinion to the Council if the Commission considers that an excessive deficit in a Member State exists or may occur. The Commission addressed such an opinion on Italy to the Council on 29 June 2005. Having taken into account its report in accordance with Article 104(3) of the Treaty and having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Financial Committee in accordance with Article 104(4) of the Treaty, the Commission concluded that there exists an excessive deficit in Italy. In delivering its assessment, the Commission has taken into account the Ecofin Report to the European Council on ‘Improving the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact’, endorsed by the latter on 22 March 2005.

| (5) | Article 104(6) of the Treaty lays down that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Italy, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions. |
| --- | --- |

(5)

Article 104(6) of the Treaty lays down that the Council should consider any observations which the Member State concerned may wish to make before deciding, after an overall assessment, whether an excessive deficit exists. In the case of Italy, this overall assessment leads to the following conclusions.

| (6) | According to the figures for 2003 and 2004 reported so far, the deficit ratio has been above but close to the 3 % of GDP reference value in 2003 and 2004. The breach of the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value in 2003 and 2004 did not result from an unusual event outside the control of the Italian authorities, nor was it the result of a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Stability and Growth Pact. The rate of economic growth over the last three years was positive but low (0,4 %, 0,3 % and 1,2 %, in 2002, 2003 and 2004, respectively). The output gap is estimated to have turned from 2,1 % of potential GDP in 2001 to – 1,3 % of potential GDP in 2004. As such, the situation of slow growth in 2003 and 2004 cannot be qualified as exceptional in the sense of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact. |

The breach of the 3 % of GDP Treaty reference value in 2003 and 2004 did not result from an unusual event outside the control of the Italian authorities, nor was it the result of a severe economic downturn in the sense of the Stability and Growth Pact.

As such, the situation of slow growth in 2003 and 2004 cannot be qualified as exceptional in the sense of the Treaty and the Stability and Growth Pact.

| (7) | The excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary because the deficit, after exceeding (but remaining close to) the reference value in 2003 and 2004, is projected by the Commission to exceed it by a large margin in 2005 and 2006 under the standard no-policy change assumption. This indicates that the Treaty requirement concerning the deficit criterion is not fulfilled. |

(7)

The excess over the reference value cannot be considered temporary because the deficit, after exceeding (but remaining close to) the reference value in 2003 and 2004, is projected by the Commission to exceed it by a large margin in 2005 and 2006 under the standard no-policy change assumption. This indicates that the Treaty requirement concerning the deficit criterion is not fulfilled.

| (8) | In addition, the debt-to-GDP ratio, at around 106 to 107 % of GDP in 2004, is clearly above the reference value in the Treaty and has not declined at a satisfactory pace over recent years. The pace of debt reduction has been affected by debt-increasing below-the-line operations. Moreover, the present level of the primary surplus (below 2 % of GDP in 2004) does not ensure a satisfactorily declining path of the debt ratio. This indicates that the Treaty requirement concerning the debt criterion is not fulfilled either. |

Moreover, the present level of the primary surplus (below 2 % of GDP in 2004) does not ensure a satisfactorily declining path of the debt ratio.

| (9) | Other relevant factors included in the Commission report in accordance to Article 104(3) of the Treaty, as well as additional ones put forward by the Italian authorities with their letter dated 6 June 2005, have been analysed by the Council. According to the Ecofin Report to the European Council on ‘Improving the implementation of the Stability and Growth Pact’, taking into account other relevant factors in the Council decision on the existence of an excessive deficit in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, ‘must be fully conditional on the overarching principle that, before other relevant factors are taken into account, the excess of the reference value is temporary and the deficit remains close to the reference value’. In the case of Italy, the first condition is not met. Therefore, for the purpose of the Council decision in accordance with Article 104(6) of the Treaty, other relevant factors are not taken into account in the case of Italy, |

Those referred to in Article 23 of this Statute and, in the cases provided for in Article 225(2) of the EC Treaty and in Article 140a(2) of the EAEC Treaty, the parties to the proceedings before the Court of First Instance shall be entitled to lodge statements or written observations with the Court of Justice relating to questions which are subject to review within a period prescribed for that purpose.

In the cases provided for in Article 225(3) of the EC Treaty and Article 140a(3) of the EAEC Treaty, in the absence of proposals for review or decisions to open the review procedure, the answer(s) given by the Court of First Instance to the questions submitted to it shall take effect upon expiry of the periods prescribed for that purpose in the second paragraph of Article 62. Should a review procedure be opened, the answer(s) subject to review shall take effect following that procedure, unless the Court of Justice decides otherwise. If the Court of Justice finds that the decision of the Court of First Instance affects the unity or consistency of Community law, the answer given by the Court of Justice to the questions subject to review shall be substituted for that given by the Court of First Instance.’

This Decision shall take effect on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION

of 19 September 2005

on accounting separation and cost accounting systems under the regulatory framework for electronic communications

(Text with EEA relevance)

(2005/698/EC)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to Directive 2002/21/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on a common regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services (Framework Directive) (1), and in particular to Article 19(1) thereof,

After consulting the Communications Committee,

Whereas:

| (1) | Certain provisions of the regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services require necessary and appropriate cost accounting mechanisms to be implemented, namely Articles 9, 11, 13 and 6(1) in connection with Annex I, of Directive 2002/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on access to, and interconnection of, electronic communications networks and associated facilities (Access Directive) (2); Articles 17 and 18(1) of and Annex VII(2) to Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (Universal Service Directive) (3); and Article 13 of Directive 2002/21/EC. |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Certain provisions of the regulatory framework for electronic communications networks and services require necessary and appropriate cost accounting mechanisms to be implemented, namely Articles 9, 11, 13 and 6(1) in connection with Annex I, of Directive 2002/19/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on access to, and interconnection of, electronic communications networks and associated facilities (Access Directive) (2); Articles 17 and 18(1) of and Annex VII(2) to Directive 2002/22/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 March 2002 on universal service and users’ rights relating to electronic communications networks and services (Universal Service Directive) (3); and Article 13 of Directive 2002/21/EC.

| (2) | Operators designated as having significant market power (SMP) on a relevant market (hereinafter referred to as notified operators), as a result of a market analysis carried out in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2002/21/EC, may be subject, inter alia, to obligations concerning the preparation of separated accounts and/or implementation of a cost accounting system. The purpose of imposing such obligations is to make transactions between operators more transparent and/or to determine the actual cost of services provided. Furthermore, accounting separation and the implementation of cost accounting systems may be used by national regulatory authorities to complement the application of other regulatory measures (e.g. transparency, non discrimination, cost orientation) on notified operators. |

Furthermore, accounting separation and the implementation of cost accounting systems may be used by national regulatory authorities to complement the application of other regulatory measures (e.g. transparency, non discrimination, cost orientation) on notified operators.

| (3) | This Recommendation updates Commission Recommendation 98/322/EC of 8 April 1998 on interconnection in a liberalised telecommunications market (Part 2 — Accounting separation and cost accounting) (4), following the application of the regulatory framework for electronic communications (25 July 2003). This revision is necessary since the regulatory framework of 2002 brought about some important changes to the regulatory package of 1998 such as the enlarged scope of application of the framework; a different approach to the imposition of ex ante obligations; a different scope of application of the specific provisions concerning cost accounting and accounting separation; and the application of the principle of technology neutrality. |

| (5) | Operators may operate in markets in which they have been designated as having significant market power, as well as in competitive markets where they are not so designated. In order to carry out its regulatory tasks, a national regulatory authority may need information about markets where operators do not have SMP. When an obligation for accounting separation is imposed on a notified operator with SMP on one or more markets, the imposition of accounting separation may cover markets where the operator does not have SMP, e.g. to ensure the coherence of data. |

| (7) | The implementation of a new or revised costing methodology may indicate that current levels of regulated charges and/or price mechanisms are inappropriate or misaligned in some way. If a national regulatory authority believed corrective action is required then due regard should be taken of the commercial and economic environment to minimise risk and uncertainty in the relevant markets.

The coordinated use of top-down and bottom-up approaches should be envisaged, where applicable. Accounting systems should be based on the principle of cost causation, such as activity based costing. |

The European Regulators Group (ERG) (7) has provided an opinion on the revision of Commission Recommendation on accounting separation and cost accounting of 1998 which includes a detailed annex on aspects of cost accounting and accounting separation,

HEREBY RECOMMENDS:

| 1. | This Recommendation concerns the implementation of accounting separation and cost accounting systems by operators designated by their national regulatory authority as having significant market power on relevant markets as a result of a market analysis carried out in accordance with Article 16 of Directive 2002/21/EC. Operators with such obligations are hereinafter referred to as ‘notified operators’.
  The purpose of imposing an obligation to implement a cost accounting system is to ensure that fair, objective and transparent criteria are followed by notified operators in allocating their costs to services in situations where they are subject to obligations for price controls or cost-oriented prices.
  The purpose of imposing an obligation regarding accounting separation is to provide a higher level of detail of information than that derived from the statutory financial statements of the notified operator, to reflect as closely as possible the performance of parts of the notified operator’s business as if they had operated as separate businesses, and in the case of vertically integrated undertakings, to prevent discrimination in favour of their own activities and to prevent unfair cross-subsidy. |
| --- | --- |

1.

The purpose of imposing an obligation to implement a cost accounting system is to ensure that fair, objective and transparent criteria are followed by notified operators in allocating their costs to services in situations where they are subject to obligations for price controls or cost-oriented prices.

The purpose of imposing an obligation regarding accounting separation is to provide a higher level of detail of information than that derived from the statutory financial statements of the notified operator, to reflect as closely as possible the performance of parts of the notified operator’s business as if they had operated as separate businesses, and in the case of vertically integrated undertakings, to prevent discrimination in favour of their own activities and to prevent unfair cross-subsidy.

| 2. | It is recommended that national regulatory authorities require from the notified operators the disaggregation of their operating costs, capital employed and revenues to the level required to be consistent with the principles of proportionality, transparency and regulatory objectives mandated by national or Community law.
  It is recommended that the allocation of costs, capital employed and revenue be undertaken in accordance with the principle of cost causation (such as activity-based costing, ‘ABC’).
  The cost accounting and accounting separation systems of the notified operators need to be capable of reporting regulatory financial information to demonstrate full compliance with regulatory obligations. It is recommended that this capability be measured against the qualitative criteria of relevance, reliability, comparability and materiality.
  It is recommended that national regulatory authorities satisfy themselves as to the adequacy and effectiveness of the cost accounting and accounting separation systems; such systems may be subject to public consultation. |

It is recommended that the allocation of costs, capital employed and revenue be undertaken in accordance with the principle of cost causation (such as activity-based costing, ‘ABC’).

The cost accounting and accounting separation systems of the notified operators need to be capable of reporting regulatory financial information to demonstrate full compliance with regulatory obligations. It is recommended that this capability be measured against the qualitative criteria of relevance, reliability, comparability and materiality.

It is recommended that national regulatory authorities satisfy themselves as to the adequacy and effectiveness of the cost accounting and accounting separation systems; such systems may be subject to public consultation.

| 3. | It is recommended that a national regulatory authority, when assessing the features and specification of the cost accounting system, reviews the capability of the notified operator’s cost accounting system to analyse and present cost data in a way that supports regulatory objectives. In particular, the cost accounting system of the notified operator should be capable of differentiating between direct costs (8), and indirect costs (9).
  It is recommended that national regulatory authorities, having adopted a decision on a cost accounting system based on current costs set clear deadlines and a base year for their notified operators’ implementation of new cost accounting systems based on current costs.
  Evaluation of network assets at forward-looking or current value of an efficient operator, that is, estimating the costs faced by equivalent operators if the market were vigorously competitive, is a key element of the ‘current cost accounting’ (CCA) methodology. This requires that the depreciation charges included in the operating costs be calculated on the basis of current valuations of modern equivalent assets. Consequently, reporting on the capital employed also needs to be on a current cost basis. Other cost adjustments may be required to reflect the current purchase cost of an asset and its operating cost base. Evaluation of network assets at forward-looking or current value may be complemented by the use of a cost accounting methodology such as long run incremental costs (LRIC), where appropriate.
  It is recommended that national regulatory authorities have due regard to price and competition issues that might be raised when implementing CCA, such as in the case of local loop unbundling.
  It is recommended that national regulatory authorities take due regard to further adjustments to financial information in respect of efficiency factors, particularly when using cost data to inform pricing decisions since the use of cost accounting systems (even applying CCA) may not fully reflect efficiently incurred or relevant costs (10). Efficiency factors may consist of evaluations of different network topology and architecture, of depreciation techniques, of technology used or planned for use in the network. |

Efficiency factors may consist of evaluations of different network topology and architecture, of depreciation techniques, of technology used or planned for use in the network.

| 4. | It is recommended that notified operators required to report accounting separation provide a profit and loss statement and statement of capital employed for each of the regulatory reporting entities (based on the relevant markets and services). Transfer charges or purchases between markets and services need to be clearly identified in sufficient detail to justify compliance with non discrimination obligations. These accounting separation reporting obligations may require the preparation and disclosure of information for markets where an operator does not have SMP.
  For consistency and data integrity, it is recommended that the financial reports of the regulatory accounts be consolidated into a profit and loss statement and a statement of capital employed for the undertaking as a whole. A reconciliation of the separate regulatory accounts to the statutory accounts of the operator is also required. These statements should be subject to an independent audit opinion or a national regulatory authority compliance audit (subject to the availability of suitably qualified staff). |

| 5. | It is recommended that national regulatory authorities make relevant accounting information from notified operators available to interested parties at a sufficient level of detail. The detail of information provided should serve to ensure that there has been no undue discrimination between the provision of services internally and those provided externally and allow identification of the average cost of services and the method by which costs have been calculated. In providing information for these purposes, national regulatory authorities should have due regard for commercial confidentiality.
  In this respect, the publication by the notified operator of sufficiently detailed cost statements showing, for example, the average cost of network components will increase transparency and raise confidence on the part of competitors that there are no anti-competitive cross-subsidies. This is considered to be particularly important for wholesale services. Implementing guidelines on reporting requirements and publication of information are set out in the Annex. |

ANNEX

GUIDELINES ON REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AND PUBLICATION OF INFORMATION

This Annex outlines the periodic reporting framework, publication issues and the statement of compliance.

Pursuant to the principles recommended at point 2 of the Recommendation, cost accounting and accounting separation systems must produce financial information at a level of detail which demonstrates compliance with the principles of non-discrimination and transparency, adequately identifying and attributing revenues, costs, capital employed and volumes for the various activities performed by the operator. Such accounting information should be made available promptly to the national regulatory authority.

Good presentation of regulatory accounts ensures that the essential messages of the financial statements are communicated clearly and effectively and in as simple and straightforward a manner as possible. The presentation of information in financial statements involves some degree of abstraction and aggregation. If this process is carried out in an orderly manner, greater knowledge will result because such a presentation will satisfy the various regulatory objectives such as demonstrating that charges are cost-orientated or that there is no undue discrimination.

Accounting reports comprise supporting notes and supplementary schedules that amplify and explain the financial statements. Both the financial statements and the supporting notes form an integrated whole.

Regulatory accounting information serves national regulatory authorities and other parties that may be affected by regulatory decisions based on that information, such as competitors, investors and consumers. In this context, publication of information may contribute to an open and competitive market and also add credibility to the regulatory accounting system.

However, full disclosure may be restricted by national and Community rules regarding business confidentially. Therefore, it is recommended that national regulatory authorities, having taken the opinion of operators, define what information can be considered as confidential and should not be made available.

1.   Preparation and publication of information

The following financial information should be prepared and published (subject to confidentiality and national law obligations) for the relevant market/service:

—

Reporting formats, which may follow standard statutory accounting design, should be defined in advance by the national regulatory authority, in consultation with operators. The statement of compliance with Community and national legislation, audit opinion and description of accounting principles, policies, methodologies and procedures used, namely the cost allocation methodologies, cannot be considered confidential. Without prejudice to national and Community laws on business confidentiality, the audit results should be made publicly available.

2.   The statement of compliance

| --- | --- |

—

some aggregate financial and accounting data (such as CCA adjustments, main assumptions made on attribution methodologies, level of costs allocated and the level of granularity of the model).

Publication of the statement of compliance and of the audit results should be presented in a form easily accessible by interested parties, such as a paper or electronic version, or published on the operator’s or national regulatory authority’s website.

3.   Reporting period

Publication of regulatory accounts should take place annually and as soon as possible after the end of the accounting (reporting) year. Publication of the statement must take place no later than two months after the completion of the regulatory audit or no later than the current practice as specified by regulatory obligations.
