COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/1180

of 24 February 2017

amending Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/118 establishing fisheries conservation measures for the protection of the marine environment in the North Sea

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 December 2013 on the Common Fisheries Policy, amending Council Regulations (EC) No 1954/2003 and (EC) No 1224/2009 and repealing Council Regulations (EC) No 2371/2002 and (EC) No 639/2004 and Council Decision 2004/585/EC (1), and in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, Member States are empowered to adopt fisheries conservation measures in their waters that are necessary for the purpose of complying with their obligations under Union environmental legislation, including Article 6 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC (2) and Article 13(4) of Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3). |
| --- | --- |

(1)

Pursuant to Article 11 of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, Member States are empowered to adopt fisheries conservation measures in their waters that are necessary for the purpose of complying with their obligations under Union environmental legislation, including Article 6 of Council Directive 92/43/EEC (2) and Article 13(4) of Directive 2008/56/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council (3).

| (2) | Article 6 of Directive 92/43/EEC requires Member States to establish the necessary conservation measures for Special Areas of Conservation that correspond to the ecological requirements of those natural habitat types and species present on the sites as listed in the Annexes to that Directive. It also requires Member States to take appropriate steps to avoid, in the special areas of conservation, the deterioration of natural habitats and the habitats of species as well as significant disturbance of the species for which the areas have been designated. |

Article 6 of Directive 92/43/EEC requires Member States to establish the necessary conservation measures for Special Areas of Conservation that correspond to the ecological requirements of those natural habitat types and species present on the sites as listed in the Annexes to that Directive. It also requires Member States to take appropriate steps to avoid, in the special areas of conservation, the deterioration of natural habitats and the habitats of species as well as significant disturbance of the species for which the areas have been designated.

| (3) | Pursuant to Article 13(4) of Directive 2008/56/EC Member States are to adopt programmes of measures, including spatial protection measures that contribute to coherent and representative networks of marine protected areas, and adequately cover the diversity of the constituent ecosystems, such as special areas of conservation pursuant to the Habitats Directive, special protection areas pursuant to the Birds Directive (4), and marine protected areas as agreed by the Community or Member States concerned in the framework of international or regional agreements to which they are parties. |

Pursuant to Article 13(4) of Directive 2008/56/EC Member States are to adopt programmes of measures, including spatial protection measures that contribute to coherent and representative networks of marine protected areas, and adequately cover the diversity of the constituent ecosystems, such as special areas of conservation pursuant to the Habitats Directive, special protection areas pursuant to the Birds Directive (4), and marine protected areas as agreed by the Community or Member States concerned in the framework of international or regional agreements to which they are parties.

| (4) | Where a Member State considers that measures need to be adopted for the purpose of complying with its obligations under Union environmental legislation and other Member States have a direct management interest in the fishery to be affected by such measures, the Commission is empowered to adopt such measures by means of delegated acts upon a joint recommendation submitted by the interested Member States. |

Where a Member State considers that measures need to be adopted for the purpose of complying with its obligations under Union environmental legislation and other Member States have a direct management interest in the fishery to be affected by such measures, the Commission is empowered to adopt such measures by means of delegated acts upon a joint recommendation submitted by the interested Member States.

| (5) | On 5 September 2016, the Commission adopted Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/118 (5) establishing fisheries conservation measures for the protection of the marine environment in certain areas of the North Sea. |

(5)

On 5 September 2016, the Commission adopted Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/118 (5) establishing fisheries conservation measures for the protection of the marine environment in certain areas of the North Sea.

| (6) | In accordance with Article 11(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, Denmark as an initiating Member State has provided the Commission and Member States having direct management interest with relevant information on the additional measures required, including their rationale, scientific evidence in support and details on their practical implementation and enforcement. |

In accordance with Article 11(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1380/2013, Denmark as an initiating Member State has provided the Commission and Member States having direct management interest with relevant information on the additional measures required, including their rationale, scientific evidence in support and details on their practical implementation and enforcement.

| (7) | On 16 November 2016, after having consulted the North Sea Advisory Council, Denmark, Germany and Sweden submitted to the Commission a joint recommendation for fisheries conservation measures to protect reef structures in four additional Danish Natura 2000 sites in the Kattegat. Those measures comprise the prohibition of fishing activities with mobile bottom contacting gear in reef zones (under habitat type 1170) and the prohibition of all fishing activities in bubbling reef zones (under habitat type 1180). |

(7)

On 16 November 2016, after having consulted the North Sea Advisory Council, Denmark, Germany and Sweden submitted to the Commission a joint recommendation for fisheries conservation measures to protect reef structures in four additional Danish Natura 2000 sites in the Kattegat. Those measures comprise the prohibition of fishing activities with mobile bottom contacting gear in reef zones (under habitat type 1170) and the prohibition of all fishing activities in bubbling reef zones (under habitat type 1180).

| (8) | Bottom fishing activity with mobile bottom contacting gear has a negative impact on reef habitats, as such activity affects both the reef structures and the biodiversity found at the reefs. Therefore the prohibition to fish with such gears in the relevant Danish reef areas, as set out in the joint recommendation, should be included in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/118. Bubbling reefs are especially fragile structures and any physical impact is a threat to their conservation status. Accordingly, the prohibition of all fishing activities in the relevant bubbling reef areas, as set out in the joint recommendation, should also be included in that Regulation. |

Bubbling reefs are especially fragile structures and any physical impact is a threat to their conservation status. Accordingly, the prohibition of all fishing activities in the relevant bubbling reef areas, as set out in the joint recommendation, should also be included in that Regulation.

| (9) | The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF (6)) states in its scientific advice of 6 December 2016 that the proposed conservation objectives within the special areas referred to in the joint recommendation cannot be fully achieved without appropriate measures to prevent fishing activity in the areas. |

The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF (6)) states in its scientific advice of 6 December 2016 that the proposed conservation objectives within the special areas referred to in the joint recommendation cannot be fully achieved without appropriate measures to prevent fishing activity in the areas.

| (10) | STECF identified some issues regarding the control and enforcement of the conservation measures in the sites concerned. Member States are required to adopt appropriate measures, allocate adequate resources and set up the structures necessary for ensuring control, inspection and enforcement of activities carried out within the scope of the common fisheries policy (CFP). This may include measures such as the requirement of submitting VMS positions with increased frequency by all vessels concerned or identifying the areas as high risk in the national control system based on risk management, addressing the concerns of STECF. |

| (11) | Denmark provided detailed information on the measures ensuring monitoring and control taking account the current level of fishing activity in these areas. These control measures involve sea going fisheries inspections and constant monitoring by the Danish fisheries monitoring centre through the risk based management system. Automatic identification system is also used to supplement VMS data. |

On 30 November 2016 Denmark, Sweden, Germany and Poland submitted to the Commission a joint recommendation for fisheries conservation measures to protect reef structures in three additional Danish Natura 2000 sites in the Baltic Sea. That recommendation was submitted after having consulted the Baltic Sea Advisory Council.

| (8) | The recommended measures comprise the prohibition of fishing activities with mobile bottom contacting gear in reef zones (under habitat type 1170) and the surrounding buffer zones. |

(8)

The recommended measures comprise the prohibition of fishing activities with mobile bottom contacting gear in reef zones (under habitat type 1170) and the surrounding buffer zones.

| (9) | Bottom fishing activity with mobile bottom contacting gear has a negative impact on reef habitats, as such activity affects both the reef structures and the biodiversity found at the reefs. Therefore the prohibition to fish with such gears in the relevant Danish reef areas, as set out in the joint recommendation, should be included in Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/117. |

| (10) | The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) (7) states in its scientific advice of 6 December 2016 that the proposed conservation objectives within the special areas referred to in the joint recommendation cannot be fully achieved without appropriate measures to prevent fishing activity in the areas. |

The Scientific, Technical and Economic Committee for Fisheries (STECF) (7) states in its scientific advice of 6 December 2016 that the proposed conservation objectives within the special areas referred to in the joint recommendation cannot be fully achieved without appropriate measures to prevent fishing activity in the areas.

| (11) | STECF identified some issues regarding the control and enforcement of the conservation measures in the sites concerned. Member States are required to adopt appropriate measures, allocate adequate resources and set up the structures necessary for ensuring control, inspection and enforcement of activities carried out within the scope of the common fisheries policy (CFP). This may include measures such as the requirement of submitting VMS positions with increased frequency by all vessels concerned or identifying the areas as high risk in the national control system based on risk management, addressing the concerns of STECF. |

| (12) | Denmark provided detailed information on the measures ensuring monitoring and control taking account the current level of fishing activity in these areas. These control measures involve sea going fisheries inspections and constant monitoring by the Danish fisheries monitoring centre through the risk based management system. Automatic identification system is also used to supplement VMS data. |

COMMISSION DELEGATED REGULATION (EU) 2017/1182

of 20 April 2017

supplementing Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the Union scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and as regards the reporting of market prices of certain categories of carcasses and live animals

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 19(6)(a) to (d), Article 223(1) and Article 223(2)(a) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2). Section 1 of Chapter I of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 contains rules on public intervention and aid for private storage, including the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof and empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts in that respect. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the Union scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and to establish comparable market prices for carcasses and live animals in the new legal framework, certain rules should be adopted by means of such acts. The new rules should replace the implementing rules of Commission Regulations (EC) No 315/2002 (3), (EC) No 1249/2008 (4) and (EU) No 807/2013 (5). |

Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (2).

In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the Union scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and to establish comparable market prices for carcasses and live animals in the new legal framework, certain rules should be adopted by means of such acts. The new rules should replace the implementing rules of Commission Regulations (EC) No 315/2002 (3), (EC) No 1249/2008 (4) and (EU) No 807/2013 (5).

| (2) | Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides that Union scales for the classification of carcasses laid down in point A of Annex IV to that Regulation are to apply to bovine animals aged eight months or more. In order to ensure a uniform application, it is appropriate to allow Member States to make the application of the Union scale compulsory for carcasses of bovine as of a specific age determined on the basis of the identification and registration system provided for by Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6). That identification and registration system should also be used for the division of carcasses into categories as referred to in point A.II of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. |

That identification and registration system should also be used for the division of carcasses into categories as referred to in point A.II of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.

| (3) | In order to reduce administrative burden, Member States should have the possibility to grant derogations from the general obligation to classify carcasses to small scale establishments. On the basis of experience gained with the application of the Union scale for classification, it is appropriate to provide for such derogations for slaughterhouses which slaughter, as an annual average per week, less than 150 bovine animals aged eight months or more or less than 500 pigs. Nevertheless, Member States may determine lower limits depending on their national conditions, especially in order to ensure the representativeness of price reporting. |

Nevertheless, Member States may determine lower limits depending on their national conditions, especially in order to ensure the representativeness of price reporting.

| (4) | As certain slaughterhouses fatten, in their own establishments, bovine animals aged eight months or more and pigs, there is no market price to be recorded for the carcasses of such animals. Therefore, the application of the compulsory Union classification scales is unnecessary in these cases. It is therefore appropriate to allow the Member States having this practice to derogate from the rules on compulsory carcass classifications as regards these carcasses. This derogation should be also allowed for the classification of carcasses of local pig breeds with a particular anatomical body composition or particular modes of marketing when they make the homogeneous and standardised classification of carcasses impossible. |

| (5) | In order to take account of the specificities of establishments and seasonal sheep slaughtering, it is appropriate to enable the Member States applying the sheep carcass classification provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 to exempt from this classification some slaughterhouses on the basis of objective and non-discriminatory criteria. |

| (6) | In order to ensure the uniform classification of the carcasses of bovine animals aged eight months or more and of sheep in the Union, it is necessary to make more precise the definitions of the classes of conformation and fat cover, carcass weight and colour of meat referred to in points A.III and C.III of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013. However, other criteria may be used for the carcasses of lambs of less than 13 kg weight. |

However, other criteria may be used for the carcasses of lambs of less than 13 kg weight.

| (7) | Point A.III of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 provides for a conformation class S for carcasses obtained from bovine of the double muscled carcass type. Given that this exceptional conformation class is marketed only in some Member States, it is appropriate to provide that Member States have the option not to make use of the conformation class S. |

Given that this exceptional conformation class is marketed only in some Member States, it is appropriate to provide that Member States have the option not to make use of the conformation class S.

| (8) | As the lean meat percentage of pig carcasses has increased steadily, the majority of pig carcasses are classified only in two classes. It is therefore necessary to allow Member States to further subdivide into subclasses the pig carcass classification classes laid down in point B.II of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013, in order to ensure the differentiation of pig carcasses. |

| (10) | In order to ensure the comparable market prices, point A.IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 sets out a standard carcass presentation. To reflect certain market demands in respect of carcass presentation, it is necessary to provide that Member States may apply a presentation of carcasses different from the one laid down in point A.IV of Annex IV to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 by application of corrective factors, for the purpose of establishing market prices. |

Provisions should be made for the possibility to modify, after a licence was granted, the technical specifications of the automated grading methods for the classification of carcasses of bovine animals aged eight months or more and of sheep, with a view to ensure the accuracy of those specifications.

| (18) | The value of a pig carcass is determined in particular by its lean meat percentage in relation to its weight. The lean meat percentage is assessed by a grading method that should consist of an automated, semi-automated or manual grading technique and an assessment formula. The assessment formula should be made by measuring certain anatomical parts of the carcass by means of authorised and statistically proven methods. In order to ensure that the statistically proven methods are applied on an objective basis, it is necessary to inform the experts of Member States by means of protocols on the authorisation test and consult with these experts on the results of the test. While various methods can be applied for the assessment of the lean meat percentage of a pig carcass, it is necessary to ensure that the choice of the method does not affect the estimated lean meat percentage. |

| --- | --- | --- | --- |

(c)

A dissection trial for the assessment of the reference lean meat percentage of the pig carcasses as described in point 2 of Part A.

—

The trial involves the dissection of the sample of pig carcasses into meat, fat and bone. The lean meat content of a pig carcass shall be the relationship between the total weight of the red striated muscles provided that they are separable by knife, and the weight of the carcass. The total weight of the red striated muscles is obtained either

(i)

by total dissection of the carcass as laid down in point 2.2 of Part A; or

| (ii) | by partial dissection of the carcass as laid down in point 2.3 of Part A; or |

(ii)

by partial dissection of the carcass as laid down in point 2.3 of Part A; or

| (iii) | by a combination of total or partial dissection with a national quick method based on accepted statistical methods. |
| --- | --- |

(iii)

by a combination of total or partial dissection with a national quick method based on accepted statistical methods.

The total dissection referred to in point (i) may also be replaced by assessing the lean meat percentage with a computer tomography (CT) apparatus on the condition that satisfactory comparative dissection results are provided.

If a combination with a national quick method is used as referred to in point (iii), the number of carcasses for total or partial dissection may be reduced to 50 if the Member State can demonstrate that the precision is at least equal to that obtained using standard statistical methods on 120 carcasses.

  — | The equation shall be integrated into the grading technique after the application of the grading methods are authorised by the Commission. |
| --- | --- | --- |

(f)

The introduction or amendment of an equation for the grading method for the prediction of the lean meat percentage of a pig carcass.

—

The equation shall be integrated into the grading technique after the application of the grading methods are authorised by the Commission.

Grading methods shall be authorised only if the root mean squared error of prediction (RMSEP), computed by a full cross-validation technique or by a test set validation on a representative sample of at least 60 carcasses, is less than 2,5. In addition, any outliers shall be included in the calculation of RMSEP.

Where, during an authorisation test, more than one carcass presentation is used, the differences between those carcass presentations shall not lead to differences in the classification results.

2.   PROCEDURE FOR THE DISSECTION TRIAL TO PREDICT THE REFERENCE LEAN MEAT PERCENTAGE OF A PIG CARCASS

| 2.1. | The prediction of the reference lean meat percentage is based on the total dissection of a left half carcass in accordance with the reference method as laid down in point (c) of Part 1. |
| --- | --- |

2.1.

| 2.2. | Where total dissection is carried out, the reference lean meat percentage (YTD) is calculated as follows:





  The weight of the lean meat shall be calculated by subtracting the total weight of the non-lean elements from the total carcass weight before dissection. The feet and the head, except the cheek, are not dissected. |
| --- | --- |

2.2.

Formula

The weight of the lean meat shall be calculated by subtracting the total weight of the non-lean elements from the total carcass weight before dissection. The feet and the head, except the cheek, are not dissected.

| 2.3. | Where partial dissection is carried out, the prediction of the reference lean meat percentage (YPD) is based on the dissection of the four major cuts (shoulder, loin, ham and belly) plus the weight of the tenderloin. The partial dissection lean meat percentage is calculated as follows:





  The weight of the lean in the four major cuts (shoulder, loin, ham and belly) shall be calculated by subtracting the total weight of the non-lean elements of the four cuts from the total weight of the cuts before dissection.
  The bias between total and partial dissection is corrected based on a subsample with total dissection. |
| --- | --- |

2.3.

Formula

The weight of the lean in the four major cuts (shoulder, loin, ham and belly) shall be calculated by subtracting the total weight of the non-lean elements of the four cuts from the total weight of the cuts before dissection.

The bias between total and partial dissection is corrected based on a subsample with total dissection.

| 2.4. | The lean meat percentage can be predicted by an analytical procedure based on scanning the left half carcass with a CT. If this CT procedure is not calibrated to the total dissection of carcasses, a potential bias to total dissection is corrected based on a subsample that is totally dissected according to the reference method. Only that part of the left half carcass containing lean meat as defined by the total dissection method needs to be scanned i.e. the feet and the head, except the cheek, need not be scanned. |
| --- | --- |

2.4.

| 2.5. | The bias correction required for partial dissection or for a CT procedure is based on a representative subsample that includes all combinations of the sample with respect to the stratification factors such as breed, gender or fatness used to select the overall sample. At least 10 carcasses are selected for bias correction.
  If the slaughter pig population to be sampled has the same characteristics as the population for which partial dissection or a CT procedure has been previously bias corrected, no additional total dissection is required.
  If a CT procedure is described and is traceable by measurements to total dissection or another, bias-corrected CT procedure, no additional total dissection is required. |
| --- | --- |

2.5.

If the slaughter pig population to be sampled has the same characteristics as the population for which partial dissection or a CT procedure has been previously bias corrected, no additional total dissection is required.

If a CT procedure is described and is traceable by measurements to total dissection or another, bias-corrected CT procedure, no additional total dissection is required.

COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2017/1184

of 20 April 2017

laying down rules for the application of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council as regards the Union scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and as regards the reporting of market prices of certain categories of carcasses and live animals

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (1), and in particular Article 20(c), (p), (q), (r), (s) and (u) and Article 223(3)(c) and (d) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the financing, management and monitoring of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 352/78, (EC) No 165/94, (EC) No 2799/98, (EC) No 814/2000, (EC) No 1290/2005 and (EC) No 485/2008 (2), and in particular Article 62(2)(a), (b) and (c) thereof,

Whereas:

| (1) | Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 has repealed and replaced Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 (3). Section 1 of Chapter I of Title I of Part II of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 contains rules on public intervention and aid for private storage, including the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and the reporting of prices thereof, and empowers the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts in that respect. In order to ensure the smooth functioning of the Union scales for the classification of beef, pig and sheep carcasses and to establish comparable market prices for carcasses and live animals in the new legal framework, certain rules should be adopted by means of such acts. The new rules should replace Commission Regulations (EC) No 315/2002 (4), (EC) No 1249/2008 (5) and (EU) No 807/2013 (6). Those Regulations are repealed by Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/1182 (7). |

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing rules for direct payments to farmers under support schemes within the framework of the common agricultural policy and repealing Council Regulation (EC) No 637/2008 and Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 (1) and in particular Article 67(3) thereof,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 establishing a common organisation of the markets in agricultural products and repealing Council Regulations (EEC) No 922/72, (EEC) No 234/79, (EC) No 1037/2001 and (EC) No 1234/2007 (2), and in particular Articles 126 and 151, and Article 223(3) thereof,

Regulations (EU) No 1307/2013 and (EU) No 1308/2013 and the acts adopted on the basis of those Regulations lay down a wide range of obligations to notify information and documents to the Commission. Those regulations also empower the Commission to adopt delegated and implementing acts in that respect.

(b)   Sampling of Union producers

| (18) | In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission stated that it had provisionally selected a sample of Union producers. In accordance with Article 27(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected the sample on the basis of the largest representative volume of sales and production, taking also into account the geographical spread. The preliminary sample consisted of three groups of Union producers. The Commission invited interested parties to comment on the provisional sample. One of the provisionally sampled Union producers informed the Commission that it would not be in a position to reply to the questionnaire. The Commission also received a clarification that two other sampled parties were groups consisting of several producers. Accordingly, the Commission revised the sample by replacing the non-cooperating producer with the next largest producer in terms of the volume of sales and production, as well as by selecting the largest producers within the other two groups of provisionally sampled producers. Having received no comments on the revised sample within the deadline, the Commission confirmed the sample as revised. The final sample accounted for over 30 % of the total Union production during the review investigation period and was therefore considered representative of the Union industry. |

The Commission made all interested parties aware of the consequences of non-cooperation and gave them the opportunity to comment. No comments in this regard were received. The Commission, in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation, considered the use of best facts available necessary in order to examine the continuation of subsidy practices of the PRC in the paper industry.

| (36) | On the use of facts available, the Appellate Body has recalled that Article 12.7 of the SCM Agreement permits the use of facts on record solely for the purpose of replacing information that may be missing, in order to arrive at an accurate subsidization or injury determination. Accordingly, the Appellate Body has explained that ‘there has to be a connection between the ‘necessary information’ that is missing and the particular ‘facts available’ on which a determination under Article 12.7 is based.’ Therefore, ‘an investigating authority must use those ‘facts available’ that ‘reasonably replace the information that an interested party failed to provide’, with a view to arriving at an accurate determination.’ The Appellate Body has further explained that ‘the facts available’ refers to those facts that are in the possession of the investigating authority and on its written record. As determinations made under Article 12.7 are to be made on the basis of ‘the facts available’, ‘they cannot be made on the basis of non-factual assumptions or speculation.’ Furthermore, in reasoning and evaluating which facts available can reasonably replace the missing information, ‘all substantiated facts on the record must be taken into account’ by an investigating authority. The Appellate Body has explained that ascertaining the ‘reasonable replacements for the missing ‘necessary information’ involves a process of reasoning and evaluation’ on the part of the investigating authority. Where there are several facts available to an investigating authority that it needs to choose from, ‘it would seem to follow naturally that the process of reasoning and evaluation would involve a degree of comparison’ in order to arrive at an accurate determination. The evaluation of the ‘facts available’ that is required, and the form it may take, depend on the particular circumstances of a given case, including the nature, quality, and amount of evidence on the record and the particular determinations to be made. The nature and extent of the explanation and analysis required will necessarily vary from determination to determination (10). |

As determinations made under Article 12.7 are to be made on the basis of ‘the facts available’, ‘they cannot be made on the basis of non-factual assumptions or speculation.’ Furthermore, in reasoning and evaluating which facts available can reasonably replace the missing information, ‘all substantiated facts on the record must be taken into account’ by an investigating authority. The Appellate Body has explained that ascertaining the ‘reasonable replacements for the missing ‘necessary information’ involves a process of reasoning and evaluation’ on the part of the investigating authority. Where there are several facts available to an investigating authority that it needs to choose from, ‘it would seem to follow naturally that the process of reasoning and evaluation would involve a degree of comparison’ in order to arrive at an accurate determination. The evaluation of the ‘facts available’ that is required, and the form it may take, depend on the particular circumstances of a given case, including the nature, quality, and amount of evidence on the record and the particular determinations to be made. The nature and extent of the explanation and analysis required will necessarily vary from determination to determination (10).

Subsidies and subsidy programmes examined in the current investigation

| (38) | In view of the lack of cooperation by the GOC and the exporting producers mentioned above, the Commission decided to examine whether there was continuation of subsidisation as follows. First, the Commission examined whether the subsidies countervailed in the original investigation continued to confer benefit to the coated fine paper industry. Subsequently, the Commission analysed whether the coated fine paper industry benefitted from new subsidies as alleged in the request (i.e. subsidies which were not countervailed in the original investigation). The Commission decided that, in view of the findings of existence of continued subsidisation with respect to most of the subsidies countervailed in the original investigation as well as new subsidies, there was no need to investigate all the other subsidies alleged to exist by the complainant. Indeed, pursuant to Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the Commission should examine whether there is evidence of continued subsidisation, regardless of its amount. |

| (42) | In the original investigation the Commission established the existence of specific policy plans with respect to the paper industry. These plans stipulated that the government authorities closely monitor the performance of the paper industry and implement special policies (e.g. implementing decrees) for the fulfilment of the goals of the policy plans. Furthermore, the investigation also established that the specific policy plans provide for preferential lending to the paper making industry. |

The findings of the original investigation based on government plans in force at that time are upheld in this expiry review investigation. Both the 12th Five-Year Plan (18) applicable during the RIP and the previous 11th Five-Year Plan continue to indicate the paper industry as an ‘Encouraged industry’. |

| (45) | In the original investigation the Commission established with reference to the ‘Decision No 40 of the State Council’ (19) (‘Decision No 40’), that this act is an order from the State Council, i.e. the highest administrative body in the PRC, and so legally binding on other public bodies and economic operators. It classified the industrial sectors into ‘Encouraged, Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’. This Act represented a binding industrial policy document that shows how the GOC maintains a policy of supporting groups of enterprises or industries, such as the paper industry, classified by the Directory Catalogue as an ‘Encouraged industry’. On the basis of the GOC's submission in this investigation, the Commission confirmed that Decision No 40 is still in force. |

| (46) | With respect to the number of industries listed as ‘Encouraged’, there are in total 26, representing only a portion of the Chinese economy. Furthermore, only certain activities within these 26 sectors are given ‘encouraged’ status. Article 17 of Decision No 40 also stipulates that the ‘Encouraged investment projects’ shall benefit from specific privileges and incentives (financial support, import duty exemption, VAT exemption, tax exemption). With reference to the ‘Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’, Decision No 40 empowers the State authorities to intervene directly to regulate the market. In fact, Articles 18 and 19 require the relevant authority to stop financial institutions from supplying loans; they also order the State price administrative department to raise the electricity price and instruct the electricity supply companies to stop supplying electricity to such ‘Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’. It is obvious from the above that Decision No 40 provides binding rules and instructions to all the economic institutions and entities in the form of directives on the promotion and support of encouraged industries, one of which is the paper making industry. |

| (47) | The Commission established in the current investigation that a number of policy documents indicate the paper industry explicitly as an ‘Encouraged industry’. This concerns in particular the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Paper Industry. This plan is implemented by the 12th Five-Year Industrial Technology Innovation Program issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The Program also refers to promotion of ‘industrial restructuring and upgrading (...) of the paper industry and its related industries’. Similarly, the above mentioned Decision No 40 indicates support for the development and modernisation of the paper industry. Thus, rather than general statements of encouragement, these policy plans direct entities to comply with the public policy objective of supporting the development of the coated fine paper industry. |

| (48) | In addition, the 2007 Development Policy for the Papermaking Industry (‘the 2007 Papermaking Plan’) provides specific conditions, orientations and targets for the papermaking industry. As found in the original investigation, the 2007 Papermaking Plan describes the state of the papermaking industry in China (e.g. number of enterprises, production, consumption and exports, statistics on the type of raw materials used). It sets out the policies and goals for the papermaking industry with respect to the industrial layout, the use of raw materials, the use of technology and equipment, the product structure and the organizational structure of the papermaking producers. The text also sets industry ‘admission criteria’, as it lays down specific assets/liability ratio requirements for the papermaking industry, sets specific credit ratings for the papermaking industry and specific targets for economies of scale, market share ratios, energy and water consumption to be achieved or attained by companies. It requests enterprises to formulate development plans based on the 2007 Papermaking Plan. It also instructs the local provinces and regions to participate in the implementation of the plan, while an entire chapter is devoted to ‘Investment and Financing’ of the papermaking industry. In this respect it is pertinent to note that the Plan clearly states that financial institutions shall not provide loans for any project which does not comply with its regulations. In sum, the 2007 Papermaking Plan is a specific state instrument aimed at regulating the papermaking industry in China and can only be considered as a compulsory industrial policy tool that has to be concretely implemented by relevant interested parties in China (state authorities, financial institutions and producers). Since the paper industry continues to be listed as an ‘Encouraged’ industry in the 12th and 13th Five-Year Plan and no document succeeding or revising the 2007 Papermaking Plan was made available or could be found, the Commission concluded that the 2007 Papermaking Plan is still in force. |

| (49) | In addition, at general level Article 34 of the Commercial Banking Law [2015] No 34 states that ‘Commercial banks shall conduct their business of lending in accordance with the needs of the national economic and social development and under the guidance of the industrial policies of the State.’ This indicates that loans received by the CFP producers from State-owned banks as well as other financial institutions are made pursuant to government directives and public objectives. |

| (50) | Finally, the Commission recalled its findings in the original investigation concerning the role of the National Development and Reform Commission (‘NDRC’). The NDRC is an agency of the State Council coordinating macroeconomic policy and managing the Government investments. The State Council, the highest governmental administrative body, issued, inter alia, the 2007 Papermaking Plan, which has to be followed by the NDRC. The original investigation also established that the NDRC collects, on a permanent basis, detailed information from companies. The existence of a systematic mechanism to collect company related data to be used in government plans and projects reveals that these plans and project are considered as an important element of State's industrial policy. |

(b)   State-owned banks acting as public bodies

| (53) | The Commission concluded in the original investigation (20) that the financing market in China was distorted by government intervention and interest rates charged by non-government banks and other financial institutions were likely to be aligned with government rates. The investigation did not bring to light any element contradicting the above finding either; nor did the GOC provide evidence in the course of this current investigation that this situation had changed.
  The request contained allegations that the GOC continued to subsidise the coated fine paper industry through preferential policy loans. The Commission recalls that, according to the WTO Appellate Body, the applicable test to establish that a State-owned undertaking is a public body is as follows: ‘What matters is whether an entity is vested with authority to exercise governmental functions, rather than how that is achieved. There are many different ways in which government in the narrow sense could provide entities with authority. Accordingly, different types of evidence may be relevant to showing that such authority has been bestowed on a particular entity. Evidence that an entity is, in fact, exercising governmental functions may serve as evidence that it possesses or has been vested with governmental authority, particularly where such evidence points to a sustained and systematic practice. It follows, in our view, that evidence that a government exercises meaningful control over an entity and its conduct may serve, in certain circumstances, as evidence that the relevant entity possesses governmental authority and exercises such authority in the performance of governmental functions. We stress, however, that, apart from an express delegation of authority in a legal instrument, the existence of mere formal links between an entity and government in the narrow sense is unlikely to suffice to establish the necessary possession of governmental authority. Thus, for example, the mere fact that a government is the majority shareholder of an entity does not demonstrate that the government exercises meaningful control over the conduct of that entity, much less that the government has bestowed it with governmental authority. In some instances, however, where the evidence shows that the formal indicia of government control are manifold, and there is also evidence that such control has been exercised in a meaningful way, then such evidence may permit an inference that the entity concerned is exercising governmental authority’
   (21). In the present case, as explained below, the conclusion that the State-owned banks that provided preferential lending are vested with authority to exercise governmental functions is based on best facts available relating to State-ownership, formal indicia of government control as well as evidence showing that the GOC continues exercising meaningful control over the conduct of those banks. |

| (54) | The Commission, on the basis of the available information, established that most of the major banks continued to be state-owned. The GOC provided information indicating that the GOC is the majority shareholder in the four largest banks in the PRC: the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (‘ICBC’), the Bank of China (‘BOC’), the China Construction Bank (‘CCB’) and the Agricultural Bank of China (‘ABC’). The GOC claimed that it held less than 50 % shares in the Bank of Communications. The Commission established in recent investigations such as the solar panels expiry review that the Bank of Communications is State controlled thanks to indirect shareholding (22). |

| (55) | The Commission further concluded on the same basis that there was evidence of formal indicia of government control in the State-owned banks. For example, with respect to EXIM, its public policy mandate is established in the ‘The Notice of Establishing Export-Import Bank of China’ issued by the State Council and the Articles of Association of EXIM. The State, as 100 % shareholder of EXIM, controls EXIM by nominating the Members of its Board of Supervisors. Those Members represent the interest of the State, including policy considerations in the meetings of EXIM. There is no Board of Directors. The State directly nominates the management of EXIM (23). According to its website (24), EXIM is ‘dedicated to supporting China's foreign trade, investment and international economic cooperation’ and ‘it is committed to reinforcing financial support to key sectors and weak links in the Chinese economy to ensure sustainable and healthy economic and social development’. |

| (56) | Although the GOC claims that the state-owned banks are not public bodies and that the lending and deposit interest rate market has been liberalized, there is no evidence of a major reform on the banking sector in the PRC which would create a more market driven system for granting loans.

| (57) | Neither the GOC in its non-verified reply, nor the State-owned banks and other financial institutions that were intended to receive a questionnaire have supplied sufficient evidence demonstrating that companies are granted loans according to proper credit rating evaluations. Thus, the Commission has no information contradicting the previous finding that the State-owned banks are supporting encouraged industries and/or implementing national policies, as mentioned before in recitals (40) and (52). |

| (59) | In addition, even if the State-owned banks were not to be considered as public bodies, the Commission found that they would also be considered entrusted and directed by the GOC to carry out functions normally vested in the government, within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(iv) of the basic Regulation in view of the normative framework described before in recitals (40) and (52). Thus, their conduct would be attributed to the GOC in any event. For the same reasons, the loans granted by other financial institutions to companies in the paper sector would be attributed to the GOC. |

For the same reasons, the loans granted by other financial institutions to companies in the paper sector would be attributed to the GOC.

(c)   Benefit

| (60) | In the original investigation, the Commission established that the paper industry benefited from preferential loans.

In the original investigation, the Commission established that the paper industry benefited from preferential loans. The Commission established the amount of benefit to be the difference between the amount that the company pays on the government loan and the amount that the company would pay for a comparable commercial loan obtainable on the market. This amount was then allocated over the total turnover of the cooperating exporting producers. The ad valorem subsidy amount established under this measure was 5,37 % for the APP Group and 1,26 % for the Chenming Group.

The Commission notes that the applicant in its request and subsequent submissions provided examples of further loans received by the exporting producers including during the RIP, in particular:

—

the APP Group received from the China Development Bank loans of USD 1,8 billion in October 2013 and of USD 1,5 billion in March 2015, and

| — | based on its Annual Reports, the Chenming Group had total open borrowings in the amounts of CNY 1,5 billion (the majority of which were from state-owned banks) at the end of 2014. Furthermore, in 2015 Chenming received large short-term loans (amounting to more than 6 billion RMB) and perpetual bonds (around 2,5 billion RMB) and that the company entered into 20 billion RMB strategic cooperation agreement with the Bank of China. |

based on its Annual Reports, the Chenming Group had total open borrowings in the amounts of CNY 1,5 billion (the majority of which were from state-owned banks) at the end of 2014. Furthermore, in 2015 Chenming received large short-term loans (amounting to more than 6 billion RMB) and perpetual bonds (around 2,5 billion RMB) and that the company entered into 20 billion RMB strategic cooperation agreement with the Bank of China.

| (63) | In the absence of cooperation from the GOC and the Chinese exporting producers, the Commission had no company-specific information on the basis of which to establish that the loans identified by the applicant had been provided under normal market conditions. However, on the basis of the information available, the Commission found that the Chinese exporting producers continued benefiting from preferential loans. Indeed, the paper industry continues to be identified as ‘encouraged industry’. In addition, in recent investigations the Commission established that the preferential loans for encouraged industries had been provided at interest rates well below the ones that would have been charged in the absence of distortions on the financial market, including the absence of valid credit ratings (26). |

| (64) | Therefore, without the need to quantify the amount of subsidisation conferred through the preferential lending, the Commission concluded that the GOC continued to provide preferential loans at favourable interest rates in line with policy stipulated in specific plans and directives referring to the paper industry. The direct transfer of funds in the form of preferential loans continued to be available to companies in the paper industry during the RIP. |

The direct transfer of funds in the form of preferential loans continued to be available to companies in the paper industry during the RIP.

(d)   Specificity

| (65) | As demonstrated in recitals (40) and (52) above, several legal documents which are specifically targeted at companies in the paper sector, direct the financial institutions. On the basis of these documents it is demonstrated that the financial institutions only provide preferential lending to a limited number of industries/companies which comply with the relevant policies of the GOC. |

| (66) | The Commission therefore concluded that the subsidies in the form of preferential lending are not generally available but are specific in the meaning of Article 4(2)(a) of the basic Regulation. Moreover there was no evidence submitted by any of the interested parties suggesting that the preferential lending is based on objective criteria or conditions under Article 4(2)(b) of the basic Regulation. |

(e)   Conclusion

In view of the existence of financial contribution, a benefit to the exporting producers and specificity, this subsidy continues to be considered countervailable. |

(123)

The GOC refused to provide any data with respect to actual land-use rights prices, the orderly competitive land market that they claim that has been established in China, as well as the methodology followed when the State expropriates land from former users.

(b)   Practical implementation

| (124) | According to Article 2 of the Land Administration Law, all land is government-owned since, according to the Chinese constitution and relevant legal provisions, land belongs collectively to the People of China. No land can be sold but land-use rights may be assigned according to the law: the State authorities assign it through public bidding, quotation or auction. |

(c)   Findings of the investigation

| (125) | In the original investigation, the Commission found that the provision of land-use rights by the GOC should be considered a subsidy within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(iii) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation in the form of provision of goods which confers a benefit upon the recipient companies. |

| (126) | Neither the GOC nor the exporting producers provided evidence suggesting the coated fine paper industry stopped benefiting from the provision of land-use rights. The Commission, on the basis of the information provided by the applicant in the request, as well as recent investigations (33) and the unverified information provided by the GOC in its questionnaire reply, established that the coated fine paper industry continued to benefit from LTAR provision of land during the RIP. On the basis of available information the Commission concluded that the rates paid for land use continued to be subsidised because the system imposed by the GOC does not adhere to market principles. As the paper industry continued to be an ‘Encouraged industry’ under the 12th Five-Year Plan during the review investigation period and continues to be an ‘Encouraged industry’ under the 13th Five-Year Plan, the Commission, on the basis of the available information established that the preferential assignment of land continues. The provision of land-use rights by the GOC to the paper industry as one of the encouraged industries shows that the subsidy is specific within the meaning of Article 4(2) of the basic Regulation. |

(b)   Sinosure is a public body

| (130) | On the basis of the information available to the Commission, and in the light of the GOC's and Sinosure's non-cooperation, the Commission concluded that Sinosure is a public body within the meaning of Article 2(b) of the basic Regulation. In particular, like in the context of preferential lending above, the conclusion that Sinosure is vested with authority to exercise governmental functions is based on best facts available relating to State-ownership, formal indicia of government control as well as evidence showing that the GOC continues exercising meaningful control over the conduct of Sinosure. |

| (131) | As confirmed in the current investigation on the basis of the information available, the government exercises full ownership and financial control over Sinosure. Sinosure is a State sole proprietorship, owned 100 % by the State Council. The registered capital of RMB 4 billion comes from the venture fund of export credit insurance in line with the state finance budget. Furthermore, the State injected in 2011 RMB 20 billion through the China Investment Corporation, the sovereign wealth fund of China (34). The Articles of Association (‘AoA’) state that the business competent department of the company is the Ministry of Finance, and also requires Sinosure to submit financial and accounting reports and the fiscal budget report to the Ministry of Finance for examination and approval. |

However, its 2011 Annual Report (‘AR 2011’) illustrates that Sinosure exercises government functions and policies so that it can be concluded that this entity is a direct expression of the government itself. Sinosure's Annual Report 2011 contains several statements in this respect, namely: Sinosure ‘proactively carried out the policy function of an ECA ... and achieved a good start in the first year of the 12th ‘Five-Year Plan’ period’ (p. 4 AR 2011); ‘the furtherance of corporate reform reinforced the policy function of Sinosure as an ECA.

This name refers to the use of USD 84 Billion as export insurance and it is one of the six measures launched by the State Council in year 2009 to stabilize export demand further to the global crisis and the consequent increased demand for export credit insurance. The six measures include notably an improved coverage of export credit insurance, the provision of short-term export credit insurance on a scale of USD 84 billion in 2009 and a reduction of the premium rate. As the only policy institution underwriting export credit insurance, Sinosure is indicated as the executor of the plan. As for the reduction of the insurance premium, Sinosure was required to ensure that the average rate of short-term export credit insurance would be reduced by 30 % on the basis of the overall average rate in 2008. |

| (138) | The so-called 421 plan was included in the Notice on the issues to implement special arrangements for financing of insurance on the export of large complete sets of equipment issued jointly by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance on 22 June 2009. This was also an important policy supporting China's ‘going out’ policy in response to the 2009 global financial crisis and provided USD 42,1 billion of financing insurance to support the export of large complete sets of equipment. Sinosure and some other financial institutions would manage and provide the funding. Enterprises covered by this document could enjoy the preferential financial measures, including export-credit insurance. Due to the non-cooperation of the GOC, the Commission was unable to obtain additional details on the application of this notice. In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Commission considered that paper industry is also covered by this document. |

(c)   Benefit

| (141) | In the absence of cooperation from the GOC and the Chinese exporting producers, the Commission had no company-specific information on the basis of which to calculate the amount of subsidy conferred during the RIP. However, in view of the ultimate findings reached in the context of the current expiry review investigation, the Commission did not consider it necessary to calculate such amounts. In any event, based on the information provided in the complaint as well as in recent investigations (40) the Commission concluded that a benefit within the meaning of Articles 3(2) and 6(c) of the basic Regulation exists since Sinosure provides export credit insurance on terms more favourable than the recipient could normally obtain on the market, or provides insurance cover that would otherwise not be available at all on the market. |

| (142) | Indeed, Article 11 of the Articles of Association that was submitted in the GOC's questionnaire reply provides that the company shall operate at breakeven. In other words, by statute Sinosure does not aim to achieve a reasonable profit, but has to aim merely at breakeven according to its function as the sole official export credit insurer in the PRC. As explained above, the records on file have shown that the legal and policy environment in which Sinosure operates requires the state-owned company to execute the government policies and plans in fulfilment of its public policy mandate. Among the ‘Encouraged Industries’ specifically supported by the State, the producers of coated fine paper have had full access to export credit insurance provided by Sinosure at preferential rates. Therefore, Sinosure provides unlimited availability of insurance cover for the paper sector and the low insurance premiums it offers do not reflect the actual risks incurred in insuring the exports in this sector. |

| (143) | Furthermore, in the solar panels expiry review it was established that Sinosure incurred losses in 2015, i.e. during the review investigation period of the current investigation (41), and would have been loss-making in 2013 and 2014 if certain non-operational income had not been recorded (42). Based on all these elements on the record, it can already be concluded that the premium rates charged by Sinosure remain inadequate to cover its long-term operations. |

(154)

Given the non-cooperation, production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC were established on the basis of facts available and in particular the information provided by the applicant, which included data from an independent industry intelligence information provider, in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.

| (155) | The production capacity of coated wood free paper in the PRC was 7 629 000 tonnes in the review investigation period (43), of which 40 % is the production of CFP (44). The total coated wood free production in the PRC had a capacity utilisation of 85 % (45) during the review investigation period resulting in a spare capacity of 1 167 000 tonnes, i.e. 32 % of total consumption of CFP in the Union. Under the assumption that only 40 % of this capacity would be used for CFP, the Chinese spare capacity of the product concerned was found to be around 13 % of total Union consumption. |

| (156) | Furthermore, the Commission found that it is simple for producers to switch production of other coated wood free products into the product concerned (46). Should Chinese producers switch to CFP, this would result in an increase of 3 877 000 tonnes in production capacity, which is more than 100 % of total consumption in the Union (established at 3 589 694 tonnes). |

| (158) | Based on the above, the Commission concluded that Chinese exporting producers have significant spare capacity which they could use to produce CFP to export to the Union market if measures were repealed. The Commission also found that this export potential could increase as a result of the expected decline in domestic demand in the PRC. |

3.7.   Attractiveness of the Union market

Attractiveness of the Union market

The investigation has demonstrated that Union demand for CFP remained substantial. Although the Union consumption declined over the period considered, the Union market remains the largest market in the world, accounting for 25 % — 30 % of global demand.

| (160) | Based on the facts available, Chinese export prices to the third countries close to the Union were on average 7 % lower than the prices in the Union during the review investigation period. Such a difference of price is significant given the fact that the market for CFP is competitive and very price sensitive. |

Based on the facts available, Chinese export prices to the third countries close to the Union were on average 7 % lower than the prices in the Union during the review investigation period. Such a difference of price is significant given the fact that the market for CFP is competitive and very price sensitive.

| (161) | Furthermore, the domestic demand in the PRC is forecast to decrease, suggesting a strong incentive to Chinese producers to find alternative markets to absorb the Chinese overcapacity. The USA market, another important market for CFP, remains unattractive for the PRC, because the USA has anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures in place against the PRC regarding the product concerned. |

| (162) | In this regard, the Government of the PRC claimed that the low level of imports from the PRC demonstrated that the Union market was not at all attractive to Chinese exporting producers. It further submitted that according to Chinese export statistics the PRC exported in 2015 more CFP to three other countries (India, Japan, Thailand) and to non-Union European countries, which would demonstrate that these countries, where there are no trade defence measures in place, were more attractive. The Government of the PRC also submitted that the PRC is currently party to 14 FTA's with different trading partners and that it is negotiating even more. This would lead to more exports of CFP to the partner countries concerned. |

| (164) | In fact, the Chinese exports of CFP to the Union dropped close to zero after the imposition of the original measures in 2010, which suggests that it was these measures that made the Union market unattractive for Chinese exports. The removal of the measures would make the Union market attractive again. These claims are therefore rejected. |

| (165) | The APP Group acknowledged that the European market is traditionally an important market for CFP, but claimed that its importance was decreasing due to the constant drop in demand, whereas, at the same time, demand in other countries has either remained stable or increased over the last few years. It also submitted that the unattractiveness of the Union market was demonstrated by the drop in imports from other countries since the imposition of measures and by the high level of exports of CFP produced by the Union industry. |

| (166) | Despite the declining consumption of CFP in the Union, the Union market is still the largest CFP market in the world. The information on file suggests that the Union market will remain the largest world market for CFP at least in the near future (48). Based on the facts available on file, demand for CFP is forecast to decrease in the PRC and a potential increase, if any, in other markets would not suffice to reduce the attractiveness of the Union market because they are small in comparison to the Union market. During the investigation period of the original investigation the volume and market share of imports into the Union from countries other than the PRC was indeed larger than during the period considered of the current investigation. However, the imports from third countries of CFP during the investigation period of the original investigation were predominantly imports of CFP from Switzerland where one of the Union producers owned a company producing CFP. The current investigation established that this producer stopped the production of CFP in 2011, so consequently imports from Switzerland almost disappeared. The drop in imports from third countries has thus nothing to do with any alleged unattractiveness of the Union market and the claim is rejected. |

| (167) | Furthermore, the relatively high level of exports of the Union industry does not undermine the conclusion that the Union market is attractive as for most of the period considered average prices achieved outside the Union, where the Union industry had to compete with subsidized exports of CFP from the PRC, were below the average prices achieved in the Union. The claim is therefore rejected. |

(170)

The subsidisation of the coated fine paper industry allowed the Chinese producers to maintain their production capacities at a level by far exceeding domestic demand, in spite of shrinking markets, in China and worldwide.

| (171) | Therefore, the Commission found that the repeal of the countervailing measures is likely to result in a return of significant volumes of subsidised imports of the product concerned into the Union market. Various subsidy programmes continued to be offered by the GOC to the coated fine paper industry and the Commission has sufficient evidence that the coated fine paper industry benefited from a number of them during the RIP. |

4.3.2.   Prices of imports from the country concerned and price undercutting

Prices of imports from the country concerned and price undercutting

| (180) | Due to the negligible volume of imports of CFP from the PRC to the Union, the fact that they represented less than 0,5 % of the total imports under the relevant CN codes both in Eurostat and in the official export statistics of the PRC, and the lack of reliability of the prices of these few sales, it was not possible to use Union import statistics to draw any conclusions concerning prices of imports from the PRC. The Commission concluded that data concerning sales of CFP from the PRC to other countries should be used instead as a proxy to establish what the undercutting would have been if Chinese companies had sold at these prices to the Union. |

| (181) | The Commission determined the theoretical price undercutting level during the review investigation period by comparing the weighted average sales price of the Union industry charged to independent customers in the Union market, adjusted to an ex works level, and the weighted average Chinese export price to countries located close to the Union, adjusted to arrive at Union CIF value level and to take into account importation costs. In the absence of any cooperation from the Chinese exporting producers, the Chinese export prices to other countries were based on facts available in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation. Different sources of information were consulted in order to establish the export price. The most appropriate basis was found to be the invoices from Chinese exporting producers to third countries located close to the Union, i.e. Egypt, Russia and Turkey, which were provided by the applicant, calculated on a weighted average basis. The price comparison showed that if during the review investigation period the Chinese exporters had sold at these prices to the Union, they would have undercut the Union industry's prices by 5,4 %. |

| (209) | The Commission established the profitability of the Union industry by expressing the pre-tax net profit of its sales of CFP to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales. During the period considered the Union industry increased its profitability from around 0,7 % to 2,3 %. It is noted that in the original investigation, the target profit for the industry was established at 8 % (50). 2014 was the best year, when the profitability of the Union industry reached 5 % mainly due to lower costs of raw materials, especially pulp, but also due to positive effects of the restructuring efforts and increase in efficiency. During the review investigation period, the profitability was negatively affected by the falling exchange rate of the British pound versus euro. |

(214)

During the period considered injury indicators showed a mixed picture. While financial performance indicators, such as profitability, cash flow and return on investment, improved, volume indicators, such as production and sales, continued to decline.

| (215) | The improvement of financial performance indicators was the result of both the drop in raw materials prices in 2014 and the Union producers' restructuring efforts aimed at cutting production capacity and improving efficiency. The negative trends in production and sales volumes were the result of the continuously falling demand for CFP both in the Union and abroad that required the Union industry to continue with restructuring, including closing certain paper mills and converting others for the production of other types of paper. |

(219)

In recital (171) above, the Commission concluded that the repeal of the measures would result in the recurrence of subsidised exports of CFP from the PRC to the Union.

| (220) | In recital (181) the Commission found that during the review investigation period the prices of the Chinese exports of CFP to markets located close to the Union were lower than the ones charged by the Union industry in the Union. As a result, the Commission concluded that, should measures be allowed to lapse, the Chinese producing exporters would likely undercut the prices of the Union industry in the Union market. |

As a result, the Commission concluded that, should measures be allowed to lapse, the Chinese producing exporters would likely undercut the prices of the Union industry in the Union market.

| (221) | In addition, as mentioned in recital (166), the Union market is the largest CFP market in the world. Indeed, its overall size and the existence of large CFP buyers make it very attractive to Chinese CFP producers, because such large deliveries would allow them to utilize more of the (now spare) production capacity, which in turn would lower unit production costs. Accordingly, if measures were repealed, given the economic benefits of utilizing spare production capacity in the PRC (see recitals (154) to (158), it is likely that the Chinese exporting producers would offer CFP at subsidised prices in the Union market, putting pressure on Union industry prices and profitability. |

The investigation has shown (see recital (218)) that the situation of the Union industry is vulnerable.

| (223) | The investigation has also confirmed the findings of the original investigation that high capacity utilisation is an important factor in the long-term viability of paper producers because the production process is capital-intensive. The absence of subsidised imports during the period considered allowed the Union industry to raise CFP prices to above cost-covering levels, to finance restructuring and to raise the production capacity utilization rate. Any recurrence of subsidised imports and resulting price pressure would reverse these positive developments, as they would deprive the Union industry from the cash flow necessary to finance restructuring efforts to adapt to declining world demand for CFP. It would also undermine the positive effects of past restructuring efforts and lead to the deterioration of all injury indicators. |

5.1.   Interest of the Union industry

Interest of the Union industry

| (226) | The investigation found that the existing measures had allowed the Union industry to recover from past subsidisation, keep CFP prices above cost-covering levels and improve its financial performance. In turn, these positive trends had allowed the Union industry to cope with the challenges created by the continuously falling demand for CFP by carrying out long term restructuring plans, including the closure of some paper mills and the conversion of others for the production of other types of paper. |

Interest of unrelated importers/traders

| (229) | There was no cooperation from importers/traders. Based on the fact that during the period considered there were almost no imports of CFP from the PRC, the Commission concluded that imports of the product concerned do not represent a major proportion of the business activities of importers/traders and that there were no factors suggesting that they would be disproportionally affected if measures were maintained. |

There was no cooperation from any individual users. The Commission received a written submission from an association of the printing industry (Intergraf), supported by three other associations (BPIF, Gratkom, and Bundesverband Druck und Medien).

| (231) | The submission explained that the Union's printing industry was suffering from the replacement of paper media with digital media, as well as from massive imports of printed products, in particular, from the PRC. The implication of the claim was that anti-dumping measures undermined the Union printers' competitiveness which requires duty-free access to paper. The only evidence submitted relating to the claim of massive imports was an estimate of total imports of printed products originating in the PRC, which include a large variety of print products that are not printed on CFP. Based on the information available, the Commission could not assess what part of the products imported from the PRC was printed on CFP and what was printed on other types of paper. |

| (232) | The original investigation found that most products that are printed on CFP are ‘time sensitive’ products, such as magazines, brochures, direct mail and inserts that are less susceptible to being imported from the PRC because of the time needed for transportation. Information submitted by the applicant in this review confirmed that the findings of the original investigation were still valid. |

(b)   Sampling of Union producers

| (18) | In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission stated that it had provisionally selected a sample of Union producers. In accordance with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected the sample on the basis of the largest representative volume of sales and production, taking also into account the geographical spread. The preliminary sample consisted of three groups of Union producers. The Commission invited interested parties to comment on the provisional sample. One of the provisionally sampled Union producers informed the Commission that it would not be in a position to reply to the questionnaire. The Commission also received a clarification that two other sampled parties were groups consisting of several producers. Accordingly, the Commission revised the sample by replacing the non-cooperating producer with the next largest producer in terms of the volume of sales and production, as well as by selecting the largest producers within the other two groups of provisionally sampled producers. Having received no comments on the revised sample within the deadline, the Commission confirmed the sample as revised. The final sample accounted for over 30 % of the total Union production during the review investigation period and was therefore considered representative of the Union industry. |

3.2.   Dumping of imports during the review investigation period

Dumping of imports during the review investigation period

| (37) | For the review investigation period, the statistical data show that only negligible volumes of CFP (less than 400 tonnes) were imported into the Union from the PRC. The Commission concluded that these quantities were not representative as they represented less than 1 % of the total imports of the product concerned into the Union. |

3.3.1.   Exports to third countries

Exports to third countries

| (40) | Due to the unrepresentative volume of imports of CFP from the PRC to the Union (see recital (37)), the Commission concluded that data concerning sales of CFP from the PRC to third countries should be used to assess the likely level of export prices to the Union, should the measures be allowed to lapse. Dumping calculations were made using the prices for sales to third country customers, based on invoices provided by the applicant, as explained in recital (45) below. |

Dumping calculations were made using the prices for sales to third country customers, based on invoices provided by the applicant, as explained in recital (45) below.

(a)   Normal value

| (41) | According to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, normal value was determined on the basis of the price or constructed value in a market economy third country. For this purpose, the USA was used as the analogue country, as explained in recitals (21) to (24). |

3.3.2.   Production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC

Production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC

| (50) | Given the non-cooperation, production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC were established on the basis of facts available and in particular the information provided by the applicant, which included data from an independent industry intelligence information provider, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation. |

(50)

Given the non-cooperation, production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC were established on the basis of facts available and in particular the information provided by the applicant, which included data from an independent industry intelligence information provider, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.

| (51) | The production capacity of coated wood free paper in the PRC was 7 629 000 tonnes in the review investigation period (10), of which 40 % is the production of CFP (11). The total coated wood free production in the PRC had a capacity utilisation of 85 % (12) during the review investigation period resulting in a spare capacity of 1 167 000 tonnes, i.e. 32 % of total consumption of CFP in the Union. Under the assumption that only 40 % of this capacity would be used for CFP, the Chinese spare capacity of the product concerned was found to be around 13 % of total Union consumption. |

| (52) | Furthermore, the Commission found that it is simple for producers to switch production of other coated wood free products into the product concerned (13). Should Chinese producers switch to CFP, this would result in an increase of 3 877 000 tonnes in production capacity, which is more than 100 % of total consumption in the Union (established at 3 589 694 tonnes). |

| (54) | Based on the above, the Commission concluded that Chinese exporting producers have significant spare capacity which they could use to produce CFP to export to the Union market if measures were repealed. The Commission also found that this export potential could increase as a result of the expected decline in domestic demand in the PRC. |

3.3.3.   Attractiveness of the Union market

Attractiveness of the Union market

| (55) | The investigation has demonstrated that Union demand for CFP remained substantial. Although the Union consumption declined over the period considered, the Union market remains the largest market in the world, accounting for 25 % — 30 % of global demand. |

The investigation has demonstrated that Union demand for CFP remained substantial. Although the Union consumption declined over the period considered, the Union market remains the largest market in the world, accounting for 25 % — 30 % of global demand.

| (56) | Based on the facts available, Chinese export prices to the third countries close to the Union were on average 7 % lower than the prices in the Union during the review investigation period. Such a difference of price is significant given the fact that the market for CFP is competitive and very price sensitive. |

Such a difference of price is significant given the fact that the market for CFP is competitive and very price sensitive.

| (57) | Furthermore, the domestic demand in the PRC is forecast to decrease, suggesting a strong incentive to Chinese producers to find alternative markets to absorb the Chinese overcapacity. The USA market, another important market for CFP, remains unattractive for the PRC, because the USA has anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures in place against the PRC regarding the product concerned. |

The USA market, another important market for CFP, remains unattractive for the PRC, because the USA has anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures in place against the PRC regarding the product concerned.

| (58) | In this regard, the Government of the PRC claimed that the low level of imports from the PRC demonstrated that the Union market was not at all attractive to Chinese exporting producers. It further submitted that according to Chinese export statistics the PRC exported in 2015 more CFP to three other countries (India, Japan, Thailand) and to non-Union European countries, which would demonstrate that these countries, where there are no trade defence measures in place, were more attractive. The Government of the PRC also submitted that the PRC is currently party to 14 FTA's with different trading partners and that it is negotiating even more. This would lead to more exports of CFP to the partner countries concerned. |

| (59) | As concerns the effect of the FTAs, the claim was made in respect of Chinese products in general and did not contain any evidence in respect of the product concerned. The claim was considered too broad and lacking corroborating evidence. In any case, as explained in recital (62) below, the information available to the Commission points in the opposite direction. |

| (60) | In fact, the Chinese exports of CFP to the Union dropped close to zero after the imposition of the original measures in 2010, which suggests that it was these measures that made the Union market unattractive for Chinese exports. The removal of the measures would make the Union market attractive again. These claims are therefore rejected. |

| (61) | The APP Group acknowledged that the European market is traditionally an important market for CFP, but claimed that its importance was decreasing due to the constant drop in demand, whereas, at the same time, demand in other countries has either remained stable or increased over the last few years. It also submitted that the unattractiveness of the Union market was demonstrated by the drop in imports from other countries since the imposition of measures and by the high level of exports of CFP produced by the Union industry. |

It also submitted that the unattractiveness of the Union market was demonstrated by the drop in imports from other countries since the imposition of measures and by the high level of exports of CFP produced by the Union industry.

| (62) | Despite the declining consumption of CFP in the Union, the Union market is still the largest CFP market in the world. The information on file suggests that the Union market will remain the largest world market for CFP at least in the near future (15). Based on the facts available on file, demand for CFP is forecast to decrease in the PRC and a potential increase, if any, in other markets would not suffice to reduce the attractiveness of the Union market because they are small in comparison to the Union market. During the investigation period of the original investigation the volume and market share of imports into the Union from countries other than the PRC was indeed larger than during the period considered of the current investigation. However, the imports from third countries of CFP during the investigation period of the original investigation were predominantly imports of CFP from Switzerland where one of the Union producers owned a company producing CFP. The current investigation established that this producer stopped the production of CFP in 2011, so consequently imports from Switzerland almost disappeared. The drop in imports from third countries has thus nothing to do with any alleged unattractiveness of the Union market and the claim is rejected. |

| (63) | Furthermore, the relatively high level of exports of the Union industry does not undermine the conclusion that the Union market is attractive as for most of the period considered average prices achieved outside the Union, where the Union industry had to compete with dumped exports of CFP from the PRC, were below the average prices achieved in the Union. The claim is therefore rejected. |

During the period considered, the Union industry increased its profitability from around 0,7 % to 2,3 %. It is noted that in the original investigation, the target profit for the industry was established at 8 % (17). 2014 was the best year, when the profitability of the Union industry reached 5 % mainly due to lower costs of raw materials, especially pulp, but also due to positive effects of the restructuring efforts and increase in efficiency.

The return on investment consists of the profit expressed as a percentage of the net book value of the fixed assets. Its development during the period considered was influenced by both the decreasing net asset value and the evolution of profitability, which explains the negative results in 2013 and the much better results in 2014 and in the review investigation period.

| (108) | Given the cost of existing debt, relatively low profitability of the Union industry and continuously falling demand for CFP, the Union industry's ability to raise capital has improved compared to the original investigation, but remains restricted. |

4.5.4.   Conclusion on the situation of the Union industry

Conclusion on the situation of the Union industry

| (109) | During the period considered, injury indicators showed a mixed picture. While financial performance indicators, such as profitability, cash flow and return on investment, improved, volume indicators, such as production and sales, continued to decline. |

(109)

During the period considered, injury indicators showed a mixed picture. While financial performance indicators, such as profitability, cash flow and return on investment, improved, volume indicators, such as production and sales, continued to decline.

| (110) | The improvement of financial performance indicators was the result of both the drop in raw materials prices in 2014 and the Union producers' restructuring efforts aimed at cutting production capacity and improving efficiency. The negative trends in production and sales volumes were the result of the continuously falling demand for CFP both in the Union and abroad that required the Union industry to continue with restructuring, including closing certain paper mills and converting others for the production of other types of paper. |

(111)

The foreseen further decrease in demand for CFP in the next 5-10 years supports the conclusion that the situation of the Union industry will remain challenging, and further decreases in production and production capacity will have to take place.

| (112) | The investigation confirmed that the measures imposed by the original investigation have had a positive impact on the Union industry, which regained its market share and was able to raise their CFP prices to above cost-covering level as well as to finance its restructuring activities. |

The investigation confirmed that the measures imposed by the original investigation have had a positive impact on the Union industry, which regained its market share and was able to raise their CFP prices to above cost-covering level as well as to finance its restructuring activities.

| (113) | On the basis of the above, the Commission concludes that the Union industry did not suffer material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation. Nevertheless, in view of the continuously declining demand for CFP and the related high restructuring costs, both of which had a significant bearing on its profitability, it is in a vulnerable situation. |

4.6.   Likelihood of recurrence of injury

Likelihood of recurrence of injury

| (114) | In recitals (65) and (66) above, the Commission concluded that the repeal of the measures would result in the recurrence of dumping and increased exports of CFP at dumped prices from the PRC to the Union. |
| --- | --- |

(114)

In recitals (65) and (66) above, the Commission concluded that the repeal of the measures would result in the recurrence of dumping and increased exports of CFP at dumped prices from the PRC to the Union.

| (115) | In recital (76) the Commission found that during the review investigation period the prices of the Chinese exports of CFP to markets located close to the Union were lower than the ones charged by the Union industry in the Union. As a result, the Commission concluded that, should measures be allowed to lapse, the Chinese producing exporters would likely undercut the prices of the Union industry in the Union market. |

(115)

In recital (76) the Commission found that during the review investigation period the prices of the Chinese exports of CFP to markets located close to the Union were lower than the ones charged by the Union industry in the Union. As a result, the Commission concluded that, should measures be allowed to lapse, the Chinese producing exporters would likely undercut the prices of the Union industry in the Union market.

| (116) | In addition, as mentioned in recital (62), the Union market is the largest CFP market in the world. Indeed, its overall size and the existence of large CFP buyers make it very attractive to Chinese CFP producers, because such large deliveries would allow them to utilize more of the (now spare) production capacity, which in turn would lower unit production costs. Accordingly, if measures were repealed, given the economic benefits of utilizing spare production capacity in the PRC (see recitals (50) to (54)), it is likely that the Chinese exporting producers would offer CFP at dumped prices in the Union market, putting pressure on Union industry prices and profitability. |

(117)

The investigation has shown (see recital (113)) that the situation of the Union industry is vulnerable.

| (118) | The investigation has also confirmed the findings of the original investigation that high capacity utilisation is an important factor in the long-term viability of paper producers because the production process is capital-intensive. The absence of dumped imports during the period considered allowed the Union industry to raise CFP prices to above cost-covering levels, to finance restructuring and to raise the production capacity utilization rate. Any recurrence of dumped imports and resulting price pressure would reverse these positive developments, as they would deprive the Union industry from the cash flow necessary to finance restructuring efforts to adapt to declining world demand for CFP. It would also undermine the positive effects of past restructuring efforts and lead to the deterioration of all injury indicators. |

5.   UNION INTEREST

UNION INTEREST

| (120) | In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether maintaining the existing measures against the PRC would be against the interest of the Union as a whole. The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers, and users. |

In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether maintaining the existing measures against the PRC would be against the interest of the Union as a whole. The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers, and users.

5.1.   Interest of the Union industry

Interest of the Union industry

| (121) | The investigation found that the existing measures had allowed the Union industry to recover from past dumping, keep CFP prices above cost-covering levels and improve its financial performance. In turn, these positive trends had allowed the Union industry to cope with the challenges created by the continuously falling demand for CFP by carrying out long term restructuring plans, including the closure of some paper mills and the conversion of others for the production of other types of paper. |

5.2.   Interest of unrelated importers/traders

Interest of unrelated importers/traders

| (124) | There was no cooperation from importers/traders. Based on the fact that during the period considered there were almost no imports of CFP from the PRC, the Commission concluded that imports of the product concerned do not represent a major proportion of the business activities of importers/traders and that there were no factors suggesting that they would be disproportionally affected if measures were maintained. |

(125)

There was no cooperation from any individual users. The Commission received a written submission from an association of the printing industry (Intergraf), supported by three other associations (BPIF, Gratkom, and Bundesverband Druck und Medien).

| (126) | The submission explained that the Union's printing industry was suffering from the replacement of paper media with digital media, as well as from massive imports of printed products, in particular, from the PRC. The implication of the claim was that anti-dumping measures undermined the Union printers' competitiveness which requires duty-free access to paper. The only evidence submitted relating to the claim of massive imports was an estimate of total imports of printed products originating in the PRC, which include a large variety of print products that are not printed on CFP. Based on the information available, the Commission could not assess what part of the products imported from the PRC was printed on CFP and what was printed on other types of paper. |

Based on the information available, the Commission could not assess what part of the products imported from the PRC was printed on CFP and what was printed on other types of paper.

| (127) | The original investigation found that most products that are printed on CFP are ‘time sensitive’ products, such as magazines, brochures, direct mail and inserts that are less susceptible to being imported from the PRC because of the time needed for transportation. Information submitted by the applicant in this review confirmed that the findings of the original investigation were still valid. |

| (128) | Accordingly, the Commission concluded that while it is likely that some print materials are printed on CFP outside the Union because of anti-dumping and countervailing duties, their impact on the economic situation of the Union's printing industry is limited. |
