A.   PROCEDURE

1.   Original measures

| (1) | In September 2005, following an anti-dumping investigation (the original investigation) the Council, by Regulation (EC) No 1487/2005 (2), imposed definitive anti-dumping duties (the original measures) on imports of certain finished polyester filament fabrics (FPFAF) originating in the People’s Republic of China (China). The duty rates applicable to Chinese FPFAF varied from 14,1 % to 56,2 %. |

2.   Request for an anti-absorption reinvestigation

| (2) | On 13 November 2006, a request for a reinvestigation of the original measures was lodged pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation. The request was submitted by AIUFFASS (the applicant), on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 30 % of the total Community production of FPFAF. |

On 13 November 2006, a request for a reinvestigation of the original measures was lodged pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation. The request was submitted by AIUFFASS (the applicant), on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 30 % of the total Community production of FPFAF.

| (3) | The applicant submitted sufficient information showing that following the imposition of the original anti-dumping duties on FPFAF originating in China export prices have decreased and that there has been insufficient movement in resale prices or subsequent selling prices in the Community. This allegedly resulted in an increase of dumping which has impeded the intended remedial effects of the measures in force. The applicant also provided evidence that imports of the product concerned from China have continued to enter in significant quantities the Community market. |

C.   THE REINVESTIGATION

| (11) | In general, a reinvestigation pursuant to Article 12 of the basic Regulation aims at establishing whether or not there was a sufficient movement in prices in the Community of FPFAF originating in China further to the imposition of original anti-dumping measures. As a second step, where it is concluded that absorption took place, a new dumping margin should be calculated. Article 12 of the basic Regulation provides for an opportunity to importers/users and exporters to submit evidence that could justify a lack of movement in prices in the Community following the imposition of measures for reasons other than absorption of the anti-dumping duty. |

As mentioned in recital (6) above the Commission requested all exporting producers and importers to make themselves known and to provide basic information on their activities during the new IP. These parties were also requested to indicate their willingness to be included in a sample.

(a)   Exporters/producers

| (13) | Twenty-six exporters/producers agreed to provide the requested information and to be included in a sample. Given the large number of exporters/producers, it was decided that sampling was necessary with regards to establishing possible absorption by exporters/producers in China. While preference was given to companies included in the sample of the original investigation, a selection was made, which covered the largest representative volume of exports and can be reasonably investigated within the time available. In accordance with Article 17(2) of the basic Regulation, the Chinese authorities were consulted on the sample and raised no objections. |

| (14) | Nine companies were initially selected to be included in the sample. One company which was granted individual treatment (IT) and eight others which were granted market economy status (MES) during the original investigation. Just before the verification visits took place in China, two companies (the one with IT and one with MES) decided to withdraw from the sample. These two companies were considered as non-cooperating in the current reinvestigation. As a result, 24 cooperating companies and a sample of seven exporters/producers with MES remained. At that stage the Commission observed that no exporters/producers with IT cooperated in the investigation. |

At that stage the Commission observed that no exporters/producers with IT cooperated in the investigation.

| (15) | The remaining seven companies included in the sample had all MES and represent around 78 % of the exports to the EU made by all the cooperating companies and 23,9 % of the total Chinese exports of FPFAF to the Community market. At that stage of the reinvestigation, it was concluded that these companies constituted the largest volume which could reasonably be investigated within the time available. These seven companies were therefore deemed to be representative for the purpose of sampling in the reinvestigation. |

2.   Non-cooperation

| (17) | The 24 cooperating exporters/producers which agreed to be included in the sample represented around 30 % of the total export of Chinese FPFAF to the Community. As mentioned in recital (14) above, two additional producers withdrew cooperation. As a result, non-cooperation finally amounted to around 70 % of total export of FPFAF to the Community market. |

3.1.   General

General

| (19) | It is recalled that no unrelated importers/users of the product concerned offered cooperation for the reinvestigation. As mentioned in recital (18) above, non-cooperation from exporters/producers in China is high. |

It is recalled that no unrelated importers/users of the product concerned offered cooperation for the reinvestigation. As mentioned in recital (18) above, non-cooperation from exporters/producers in China is high.

| (20) | Except for one exporter/producer included in the sample, the pattern of trade for FPFAF originating in China is characterised by the absence of related intermediaries importing the product concerned into the Community for resale. The independent buyers of FPFAF are generally user companies which are directly importing the product concerned for their own internal consumption. |

The independent buyers of FPFAF are generally user companies which are directly importing the product concerned for their own internal consumption.

| (21) | It was found that the sales conditions for the export sales made by the exporters/producers in the sample during the new IP were generally made on a CIF (cost, insurance and freight) basis. Therefore, for the purpose of assessing any price movement the price level for the product concerned was first determined at CIF level. For the new IP, the CIF price at the Community border was established on the basis of information submitted by the cooperating Chinese exporters/producers included in the sample. |

3.2.   Movement in resale price in the Community for the sample companies

Movement in resale price in the Community for the sample companies

| (22) | In order to assess any movement of prices at exporter/producer level in the Community the average price of FPFAF, on a type by type basis, established for the new IP was compared with the average price of FPFAF established during the original IP at the same level of trade and for the same delivery conditions. |
| --- | --- |

(22)

In order to assess any movement of prices at exporter/producer level in the Community the average price of FPFAF, on a type by type basis, established for the new IP was compared with the average price of FPFAF established during the original IP at the same level of trade and for the same delivery conditions.

| (23) | On that basis, the comparison showed that the average price in the Community of FPFAF originating in China for all the companies included in the sample did not decrease during the new IP. |
| --- | --- |

(23)

On that basis, the comparison showed that the average price in the Community of FPFAF originating in China for all the companies included in the sample did not decrease during the new IP.

| (24) | The movement of resale price for one related importer established in the Community was assessed on a type by type basis. Resale prices to unrelated customers in the Community were compared for the same delivery conditions between both investigation periods. Based on the information gathered, it was demonstrated that prices had increased by amounts exceeding the anti-dumping duty. |

3.3.   Claims made by interested parties

Claims made by interested parties

| (25) | Several interested parties claimed that an adjustment should be made to their export price. They invoked that the variation in USD/EUR exchange rate led to an artificial decrease of their export price during the new IP. However, given that no price decrease was found during the new IP even before the application of this claimed adjustment which would lead to decreasing prices in the old IP, it was not considered necessary to examine the claim. |

3.4.   Movement in resale price in the Community for the non-cooperators

Movement in resale price in the Community for the non-cooperators

| (26) | Given the high level on non-cooperation, around 70 % in this case, an absorption duty should be imposed on all non-cooperating exporters/producers in the PRC. The absorption duty should be established on the basis of Article 18 of the basic Regulation, namely on the basis of the best information available. |

The absorption duty should be established on the basis of Article 18 of the basic Regulation, namely on the basis of the best information available.

| (27) | In the present case it is considered that the data available under the Eurostat import statistic constitutes the most direct and the most reliable that can be used to establish the level at which non-cooperating Chinese exporters were exporting their FPFAF in the Community market. If we exclude from Eurostat the data verified at the level of cooperating companies for which no absorption was found to exist, the absorption margin for non-cooperating companies based on Eurostat is established at 18,6 %. |

3.5.   Conclusion on the movement of sales price in the Community

Conclusion on the movement of sales price in the Community

| (28) | Based on the above facts and considerations, it was concluded that none of the exporters/producers included in the sample absorbed the anti-dumping duty in force. No absorption duty should therefore be established for all exporters/producers in China which agreed to cooperate and to be included in the sample. |

No absorption duty should therefore be established for all exporters/producers in China which agreed to cooperate and to be included in the sample.

| (29) | An absorption duty set at 18,6 % should however be applied on all non-cooperating exporters/producers in China. |
