COMMISSION IMPLEMENTING REGULATION (EU) 2016/12

of 6 January 2016

terminating the partial interim review of the anti-dumping and countervailing measures applicable to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China

THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

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

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (1) (‘the basic anti-dumping Regulation’), and in particular Article 11(3) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community (2) (‘the basic anti-subsidy Regulation’), and in particular Article 19(3) thereof,

Whereas:

1.   Measures in force

Measures in force

| (1) | By Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 (3), the European Commission (‘the Commission’) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the European Union (‘the Union’) of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules (‘modules’) and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China (‘China’). |

3.   Request for a partial interim review

Request for a partial interim review

| (11) | On 29 January 2015 the Commission received a request for a partial interim review from EU ProSun (‘the applicant’), an association of producers of modules and cells in the Union. The request was limited in scope to the benchmark used as reference for the MIP adaptation mechanism set out in the undertaking. |

(11)

On 29 January 2015 the Commission received a request for a partial interim review from EU ProSun (‘the applicant’), an association of producers of modules and cells in the Union. The request was limited in scope to the benchmark used as reference for the MIP adaptation mechanism set out in the undertaking.

| (12) | The request was based on the grounds that the existing benchmark is no longer representative of the development of module prices. The applicant provided the following sufficient evidence that the circumstances on which the existing benchmark was accepted had changed and that these changes were of a lasting nature:






  (a) | the number of Chinese respondents reporting price data that was included in the existing benchmark had increased significantly since the acceptance of the undertaking, and in particular since the beginning of 2014; |

The request was based on the grounds that the existing benchmark is no longer representative of the development of module prices. The applicant provided the following sufficient evidence that the circumstances on which the existing benchmark was accepted had changed and that these changes were of a lasting nature:

(a)

the number of Chinese respondents reporting price data that was included in the existing benchmark had increased significantly since the acceptance of the undertaking, and in particular since the beginning of 2014;

| (b) | as a result, the weight of Chinese respondents in the existing benchmark had increased and had a significant effect on the evolution of this benchmark; |
| --- | --- |

(b)

as a result, the weight of Chinese respondents in the existing benchmark had increased and had a significant effect on the evolution of this benchmark;

| (c) | in addition, the prices reported by Chinese respondents had historically been lower than prices reported by other respondents. |
| --- | --- |

(c)

in addition, the prices reported by Chinese respondents had historically been lower than prices reported by other respondents.

| (13) | According to the applicant, this evidence arguably showed that the existing benchmark was no longer representative of the development of module prices. The applicant therefore requested replacing the existing benchmark for the MIP adaptation mechanism by the ‘International Average’ price sub-series published by Bloomberg, which excludes prices reported by Chinese respondents. |

The existing benchmark is the ‘Average all’ price series, which consists of reported worldwide module spot prices. Bloomberg also publishes two sub-series to the ‘Average all’ price series for spot prices of modules that are of relevance to this investigation, namely:

(a)

the ‘Chinese Average’ sub-series which contains prices reported by Chinese respondents; and

| (b) | the ‘International Average’ sub-series which contains all other prices reported. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

the ‘International Average’ sub-series which contains all other prices reported.

| (25) | Data for these price series and sub-series are typically collected and published on a weekly basis. All series are published in USD. All quotes are regularly checked by Bloomberg's solar sector specialists who can contact any respondent for a quote clarification if they frequently submit data outside the defined ranges or appear to be trying to bias the final results. |

Data for these price series and sub-series are typically collected and published on a weekly basis. All series are published in USD. All quotes are regularly checked by Bloomberg's solar sector specialists who can contact any respondent for a quote clarification if they frequently submit data outside the defined ranges or appear to be trying to bias the final results.

| (26) | Bloomberg calculates the average price per week provided they have received at least three quotes. If a respondent submits multiple quotes, Bloomberg averages them and counts them as one quote. |

(26)

Bloomberg calculates the average price per week provided they have received at least three quotes. If a respondent submits multiple quotes, Bloomberg averages them and counts them as one quote.

| (27) | To avoid unusually high or low quotes, Bloomberg automatically flags all quotes more than 20 % above or below the average of the period selected to the analysts, who will request clarification from the participant. The analysts will decide whether to include the quote or not. The average is then calculated from the remaining quotes. |

7.2.   Increase in the number and proportion of Chinese respondents

Increase in the number and proportion of Chinese respondents

| (29) | The applicant submitted that the number of Chinese respondents in the existing benchmark had increased significantly since the acceptance of the undertaking, and in particular since the beginning of 2014. |
| --- | --- |

(29)

The applicant submitted that the number of Chinese respondents in the existing benchmark had increased significantly since the acceptance of the undertaking, and in particular since the beginning of 2014.

| (30) | The applicant further stated that ‘Chinese participation in relation to the overall participation in the reporting of prices to Bloomberg has approximately tripled since 2013, and that increased participation has strongly influenced the evolution of the [existing benchmark] in 2014’. |
| --- | --- |

(30)

The applicant further stated that ‘Chinese participation in relation to the overall participation in the reporting of prices to Bloomberg has approximately tripled since 2013, and that increased participation has strongly influenced the evolution of the [existing benchmark] in 2014’.

| (31) | While the applicant provided complete information for the years 2013 and 2014 in the request, its arguments were based solely on a comparison of two isolated three-month periods, namely between May to July 2013 and October to December 2014. |

(31)

While the applicant provided complete information for the years 2013 and 2014 in the request, its arguments were based solely on a comparison of two isolated three-month periods, namely between May to July 2013 and October to December 2014.

| (32) | The Commission took the entire weekly participation data for 2013 and 2014 submitted by the applicant and analysed the data by aggregating the number of participants over calendar quarters. By doing so the Commission found that:






  (a) | indeed the average number of Chinese respondents per quarter in the existing benchmark had increased by around 20 respondents (56 %) between 2013 and 2014; |
| --- | --- | --- |

(32)

The Commission took the entire weekly participation data for 2013 and 2014 submitted by the applicant and analysed the data by aggregating the number of participants over calendar quarters. By doing so the Commission found that:

(a)

indeed the average number of Chinese respondents per quarter in the existing benchmark had increased by around 20 respondents (56 %) between 2013 and 2014;

| (b) | this was coupled by a parallel drop in the average number of non-Chinese respondents per quarter by more than 100 respondents (– 46 %) between 2013 and 2014. |
| --- | --- |

(b)

this was coupled by a parallel drop in the average number of non-Chinese respondents per quarter by more than 100 respondents (– 46 %) between 2013 and 2014.

| (33) | Therefore the increase in the proportion of Chinese respondents in the existing benchmark was due both to a decreasing number of non-Chinese respondents and to an increasing number of Chinese respondents. |
| --- | --- |

(33)

Therefore the increase in the proportion of Chinese respondents in the existing benchmark was due both to a decreasing number of non-Chinese respondents and to an increasing number of Chinese respondents.

| (34) | Furthermore the proportion of the Chinese respondents increased from a rather low level to a level better reflecting the share of China in the worldwide solar market. As reported by Bloomberg in 2014 the Chinese production photovoltaic cells and modules is estimated to be 78 % of world output. |

7.3.   Development of Chinese and non-Chinese prices

Development of Chinese and non-Chinese prices

| (36) | The applicant stated that the ‘Chinese Average’ price sub-series had historically been lower than the ‘International Average’ price sub-series. The Commission notes that the ‘Chinese Average’ price sub-series is indeed historically below the ‘International Average’ price sub-series. |

(36)

The applicant stated that the ‘Chinese Average’ price sub-series had historically been lower than the ‘International Average’ price sub-series. The Commission notes that the ‘Chinese Average’ price sub-series is indeed historically below the ‘International Average’ price sub-series.

(37)

The applicant further argued that the ‘International Average’ price sub-series ‘[...] [has] essentially remained stable since the acceptance of the [undertaking]’.

| (38) | The investigation has shown that contrary to the applicant's claim the ‘International Average’ price sub-series has not remained stable since the acceptance of the undertaking. In fact, in 2013 and 2014 both the ‘International Average’ price sub-series and the ‘Chinese Average’ price sub-series followed a similar trend (typically within +/– 0,01 USD). Graph 2 below shows the two sub-series compared to the ‘Average all’ price series from the start of 2013 to the end of 2014.

7.4.   No substantial downward effect on the existing benchmark

No substantial downward effect on the existing benchmark

| (39) | The applicant's arguments set out in sections 7.2 and 7.3 above led them to conclude that both the increase in number of Chinese respondents and the increase of their proportion in the ‘Average all’ price series has had a ‘substantial downward impact’ on the existing benchmark. Therefore, by relying on the existing benchmark, the MIP adjustments so far have essentially reflected the increased number of Chinese respondents reporting lower prices to Bloomberg. |

The Commission concludes that:

(a)

the existing benchmark remains representative of the development of worldwide module prices because it includes prices submitted by Chinese respondents;

| (b) | and because both sub-series have developed following a similar trend, meaning that the ‘Chinese Average’ sub-series is indeed lower than the ‘International Average’, but the ‘Chinese Average’ has not fallen faster than the ‘International Average’; and therefore |

The findings of the investigation have been disclosed to the interested parties.

The applicant and the government of China submitted comments.

Comments of the applicant

Comments of the applicant

| (44) | Firstly, the applicant submitted that ‘while the level of Chinese participation in the Bloomberg index increased substantially [...] the Chinese global market share changed little if at all, meaning that the evolution for that period in the “Average all” Bloomberg price index did not reflect global market share evolution realities’. |
| --- | --- |

(44)

Firstly, the applicant submitted that ‘while the level of Chinese participation in the Bloomberg index increased substantially [...] the Chinese global market share changed little if at all, meaning that the evolution for that period in the “Average all” Bloomberg price index did not reflect global market share evolution realities’.

| (45) | The Commission recognises that indeed the Chinese global market share has not changed substantially in the period of 2013 to 2014. This however only supports the conclusion that the representativity of the existing benchmark has improved for the reasons already stated in recital 34. Also, the very purpose of this price series is to reflect the evolution of prices not the evolution of market shares. |

The Commission recognises that indeed the Chinese global market share has not changed substantially in the period of 2013 to 2014. This however only supports the conclusion that the representativity of the existing benchmark has improved for the reasons already stated in recital 34. Also, the very purpose of this price series is to reflect the evolution of prices not the evolution of market shares.

| (46) | Secondly, the applicant submitted that ‘there was a substantial drop in the “Chinese Average” price sub-series, which was already well below the price level of the “International Average” price sub-series, and that price drop was more than 5 % greater than the price drop over the same period of the “International Average” price sub-series.’ |

Secondly, the applicant submitted that ‘there was a substantial drop in the “Chinese Average” price sub-series, which was already well below the price level of the “International Average” price sub-series, and that price drop was more than 5 % greater than the price drop over the same period of the “International Average” price sub-series.’

| (47) | The Commission observes that when looking at the whole period 2013 to 2014 (which was the data period submitted by the applicant) this statement is factually incorrect. In fact, none of the three price series concerned show a clear downward trend in 2013 and 2014 as shown in Graph 2 in recital 38 and Table 1 below. |

In fact, none of the three price series concerned show a clear downward trend in 2013 and 2014 as shown in Graph 2 in recital 38 and Table 1 below.

| (48) | Contrary to the applicant's statement, the starting point and the end point for each of the three price series are very close to each other (divergence of maximum 0,01 USD up and 0,02 USD down), and have all shown a fluctuation up and down in between. That fluctuation follows a similar pattern, with the high point reached in the Q3 and Q4 of 2013. Also the differences between the highest and the lowest data point is comparable (0,09 USD for ‘Average all’, 0,06 USD for ‘International Average’, and 0,08 USD for ‘Chinese Average’).

| (49) | On the basis of those figures, there is no indication whatsoever that any kind of manipulation of the index would have been successful. It is true that as a result of the higher participation of Chinese companies, the ‘Average all’ price series shows a slightly steeper drop than the ‘International Average’ price sub-series. However, that finding cannot call into question the appropriateness of the use of the ‘Average all’ price series. It is only the logical consequence of the fact that the input into that price series is now more representative of the market share of China in the world market then it was initially. In other words: the ‘Average all’ price series now serves its purpose even better than it did when it was introduced. |

| (50) | It is also incorrect that the price drop of ‘Chinese Average’ was more than 5 % than the ‘International Average’. Indeed, the ‘Chinese Average’ decreased by 2,8 % while the ‘International Average’ increased by 1,2 %. This gives combined difference of 4 %. |

| (59) | The applicant submitted that the fourth finding in recital 40 above ‘tacitly admits the non-representativeness of the [existing] benchmark index at the start of the UT [Undertaking], which in itself would be reason enough to move to a different benchmark as the quarter preceding the UT's entry into effect continues to be the base reference period.’ The applicant further submitted that ‘the mere inclusion of prices from Chinese respondents does not of itself assure the representativeness of the existing benchmark in terms of global module prices’. |
