C.   FINDINGS

FINDINGS

| (13) | The investigation confirmed that the applicant had not exported the product under review to the Union during the investigation period of the anti-circumvention investigation that led to the extended measures, that is 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009. The applicant's first exports of the product under review occurred subsequent to the extension of measures to the Republic of Korea, more precisely in the second half of 2015. |

(13)

The investigation confirmed that the applicant had not exported the product under review to the Union during the investigation period of the anti-circumvention investigation that led to the extended measures, that is 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009. The applicant's first exports of the product under review occurred subsequent to the extension of measures to the Republic of Korea, more precisely in the second half of 2015.

| (14) | Next, the investigation confirmed that the applicant was not related to any Chinese exporters or producers subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012. |

(14)

Next, the investigation confirmed that the applicant was not related to any Chinese exporters or producers subject to the anti-dumping measures imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012.

| (15) | Furthermore, the investigation confirmed that the applicant is a genuine producer of the product under review not engaged in circumvention practices. The applicant purchases domestically produced steel wire rod and sub-materials (such as zinc and lead) but also imports steel wire rod from the People's Republic of China, which is subsequently pickled, drawn, galvanised, drawn a second time, stranded and closed at its manufacturing facilities in the Republic of Korea. The finished product is sold domestically and also exported to the United States, Asia and the Union. |

Furthermore, the investigation confirmed that the applicant is a genuine producer of the product under review not engaged in circumvention practices. The applicant purchases domestically produced steel wire rod and sub-materials (such as zinc and lead) but also imports steel wire rod from the People's Republic of China, which is subsequently pickled, drawn, galvanised, drawn a second time, stranded and closed at its manufacturing facilities in the Republic of Korea. The finished product is sold domestically and also exported to the United States, Asia and the Union.

| (16) | The production activities can be considered as an assembly or completion operation. Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation lays down the conditions under which an assembly operation will be considered to be circumventing the measures. Under point (b) of that Article, one condition is that the parts in question constitute more than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product. During the investigation it was established that the proportion of Chinese raw materials used by the applicant was significantly below the threshold of 60 % required under Article 13(2)(b) of the basic Regulation. The percentage of Chinese parts (namely raw materials) used was 38 %. Where that threshold is exceeded, Article 13(2)(b) requires that it is established whether the 25 % threshold of value added was reached (the ‘value-added test’). The 60 % threshold of the total value of the parts was not exceeded. Hence, on the basis of the actual costs incurred during the reporting period, it was not necessary to establish whether the 25 % threshold of value added was reached within the meaning of Article 13(2)(b) of the basic Regulation. |

During the investigation it was established that the proportion of Chinese raw materials used by the applicant was significantly below the threshold of 60 % required under Article 13(2)(b) of the basic Regulation.

Where that threshold is exceeded, Article 13(2)(b) requires that it is established whether the 25 % threshold of value added was reached (the ‘value-added test’). The 60 % threshold of the total value of the parts was not exceeded. Hence, on the basis of the actual costs incurred during the reporting period, it was not necessary to establish whether the 25 % threshold of value added was reached within the meaning of Article 13(2)(b) of the basic Regulation.

| (17) | The applicant started with the production of the product under review mid-2015. Due to the exceptional manufacturing costs incurred during the start-up production phase, another calculation was performed on the basis of standard costs of manufacturing (excluding start-up costs and anticipating a high production capacity utilisation rate). It was established that the proportion of Chinese-origin raw materials then constituted more than the 60 % of the total value of the parts of the final product (69 %). For that reason the value-added test under Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation was carried out. That test demonstrated that the value added to the parts brought in from the People's Republic of China was significantly above the 25 % of the manufacturing costs threshold as stipulated in Article 13(2)(b) of the basic Regulation. Therefore, the applicant's production activities are not considered to constitute circumvention in the sense of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation. |

(21)

In accordance with the above findings, the applicant should be added to the list of companies that are exempted from the anti-dumping duty imposed by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012.

| (22) | As laid down in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 400/2010, the application of the exemption is to be conditional upon presentation to the customs authorities of the Member States of a valid commercial invoice, which shall conform to the requirements set out in the Annex to that Regulation.

If no such an invoice is presented, the anti-dumping duty continues to apply.

| (23) | In addition, the exemption from the extended measures granted to imports of steel ropes and cables produced by the applicant, in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation, remains valid on condition that the facts as finally ascertained justify the exemption. Should new prima facie evidence indicate otherwise, an investigation may be initiated by the Commission to establish whether withdrawal of the exemption is warranted. |

This exemption is thus exclusively applicable to imports of steel ropes and cables consigned from the Republic of Korea and produced by the abovementioned specific legal entity. Imported steel ropes and cables produced by any company not specifically mentioned in Article 1(4) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 102/2012 with its name, including entities related to those specifically mentioned, should not benefit from the exemption and should be subject to the residual duty rate as imposed by that Regulation. |
