COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2402/98
of 3 November 1998
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of unwrought
unalloyed magnesium originating in the People’s Republic of China and
definitively collecting the provisional duty imposed
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 384/96 of 22 December 1995
on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the
European Communities (
1), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after consulting
the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A. PROVISIONAL MEASURES
(1) The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1002/98 (2) (hereinafter
referred to as ‘the Provisional Regulation’), imposed a provisionalanti-dumping duty on imports into the Community of unwrought pure
magnesium originating in the People’s Republic of China and falling
within CN codes 8104 11 00 and ex 8104 19 00 (TARIC code8104 19 00*10).
B. SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE
(2) Further to the imposition of the provisional measures, the exporters
and the complainant made written representations. Those parties who
so requested were granted an opportunity to be heard by theCommission.
(3) Parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the
basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition ofdefinitive duties and the definitive collection of amounts secured byway of the provisional duty. They were also granted a reasonable
period within which to make representations subsequent to the
disclosure. The parties’ comments were considered, and the con-clusions altered where deemed appropriate.
C. PRODUCT UNDER CONSIDERATION
AND LIKE PRODUCT
(4) The product under consideration is unwrought unalloyed magnesium.
Unwrought magnesium is available as either pure, i.e. unalloyed,magnesium containing minor quantities of impurities or as alloyedmagnesium with alloying elements such as aluminium and zinc added.
Article 1(1)(b) of the Provisional Regulation made it clear that alloyed
magnesium defined as magnesium ‘containing more than 3 % byweight of intentionally added alloying elements such as aluminium and
zinc’ was not covered by the provisional measures. The objective of
this provision was to limit the effect of the measures to the productcovered by the investigation, i.e. unwrought pure magnesium, whileavoiding circumvention of the measures.
However, it has become clear that major sectors of users of unwrought
pure magnesium (e.g. the aluminium industry) can in fact usemagnesium falling into the above definition of alloyed magnesium.There is a risk, therefore, that circumvention of the measures would
take place through the importation of artificially created magnesium
alloys containing more than 3 % of alloying elements, which wouldnevertheless be used as pure magnesium. Such ‘alloys’ would notcorrespond to previously established industrial standards and could not
be used for any application for which alloyed magnesium is typically!B

905/98 (OJ L 128, 30. 4. 1998, p. 18).
(2) OJ L 142, 14. 5. 1998, p. 24.1998R2402 — EN — 22.12.2000 — 002.001 — 2
required. Indeed, evidence in the form of offers was received which
showed that Chinese parties are already contemplating this type ofcircumvention.
In this context, it should be noted that all forms of alloyed magnesium
used by the downstream industries prior to the imposition of
provisional measures in this proceeding were defined by relevant
European (Comité européen de normalisation — CEN) or equivalentinternational industry standards. These alloys have been designed forspecific applications and require sophisticated production techniques
(having a significant effect on the cost of production) which is clearly
not the case with regard to the abovementioned artificially created‘alloys’.
To prevent such circumvention, and to ensure that the measures
achieve their intended result it is therefore proposed to specify at the
definitive stage in the present proceeding the alloyed magnesium types
to which measures will not apply.
A list of the CEN specifications and their international equivalents for
these alloyed magnesium types are attached in the Annex to thisRegulation.
(5) In the absence of any new arguments concerning the definition of the
product under consideration and the like product, the findings set out
in recitals 8 to 13 of the Provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
D. DUMPING
1.Normal value
(a) Utilisation of a reference country
(6) At the provisional stage, normal value was established by using data in
a reference country, i.e. Norway.
The cooperating Chinese exporters commented that the procedure of
using a reference country for the determination of normal value isunfair, as it takes no account of costs in the People’s Republic of China.They state further that the product concerned is produced in the
People’ s Republic of China under market economy conditions.
It should be noted in this respect that following Council Regulation
(EC) No 905/98 of 27 April 1998 amending Regulation (EC) No384/96 on protection against dumped imports from countries not
members of the European Community (
1), for anti-dumping investi-
gations initiated after 1 July 1998, it will be possible to establishnormal value in the People’s Republic of China, providing certainconditions laid down in that Regulation are met.
Since the present proceeding was initiated on 21 August 1997, normal
value has still to be established on the basis of data obtained from an
analogue country. The request could not, therefore, be accepted.
(b) Competitiveness of the Norwegian domestic market
(7) The cooperating Chinese exporters also expressed doubts as to whether
the domestic selling prices in Norway, which were used to establish
normal value, could be considered as being the result of a competitivemarket.
According to information obtained during the investigation, it was
concluded that Norway is an open market because more than 50 % of
Norwegian domestic magnesium consumption is imported and
purchased by companies which are not related to Norsk Hydro, i.e.the cooperating producer in the analogue country. This indicates thatthe Norwegian market and consequently Norsk Hydro’ s domestic
prices are governed by competitive market forces.
(c) Representativity of domestic sales
(8) The cooperating Chinese exporters queried the representativity of
domestic sales by the analogue country producer to independent
customers.!B
(1) OJ L 128, 30. 4. 1998, p. 18.1998R2402 — EN — 22.12.2000 — 002.001 — 3
The investigation confirmed that total domestic sales by the analogue
country producer in Norway were representative in that theyrepresented substantially more than 5 % of the total quantity of salesof the product concerned originating in the People’ s Republic of China
and sold for export to the European Community.
(d) Comparative advantage
(9) The Chinese exporters further argued that their magnesium industry
was characterised by large and conveniently located reserves of rawmaterials, low investment, low labour costs and low costs ofproduction which gave them a comparative advantage which should
be taken into account in the determination of normal value.
However, it was found that the producer in Norway had equally good
access to raw materials. Furthermore, as it operates on a much largerscale and has continuous investment, it is very unlikely that Chinese
magnesium production is more efficient than that in Norway. In any
event no information has been found which would indicate thecontrary. The assertion that certain costs are cheaper in China is not, as
such, considered relevant because those costs cannot be taken into
consideration for the determination of normal value for the reasonsgiven in recital 6 above.
The finding of the provisional stage, that the Chinese producers did not
enjoy a comparative advantage, was therefore confirmed and no
adjustment was granted in this respect.
(e) Conclusion
(10) In the absence of further arguments concerning the determination of
normal value, the provisional determination is hereby confirmed.
2.Export price
(11) In the absence of further arguments concerning the determination of
export price, the provisional determination is hereby confirmed.
3.Comparison between normal value and export price
(a) Physical characteristics
(12) The Chinese cooperating exporters claimed an allowance for physical
and quality differences between Chinese and Norwegian magnesium at
the provisional stage of the proceeding, although insufficient evidencewas provided at that stage to grant such an adjustment.
(13) Following the provisional disclosure the Chinese cooperating exporters
indicated that the market value of quality differences due to oxidisation
or the fear of receiving oxidised magnesium from China is estimated ataround 10-15 %. However, the cooperating exporters were not able tosubstantiate this quantification as purchasers perceived the risk of
oxidisation as relating to all magnesium from China.
The evidence available with regard to this claimed adjustment has been
considered.
(i) There is evidence to suggest that oxidisation is more likely on the
Chinese magnesium, for example:
— evidence of oxidised magnesium recorded in an inspection
report included with a Chinese questionnaire response,
— written comments received from three cooperating importers
which indicate that the Pidgeon process, which is used by
small-scale producers in the People’ s Republic of China and
accounts for the majority of exports to the EuropeanCommunity, results in a higher amount of oxidised material
than the Norsk Hydro (the sole analogue country producer)
and Pechiney Electrometallurgie (PEM) (the sole Communityproducer) production methods,
— evidence of oxidised magnesium in two importers purchase
transaction-by-transaction listings,
— physical verification of oxidised magnesium from China at
users’ premises by members of the Commission services.!B1998R2402 — EN — 22.12.2000 — 002.001 — 4
(ii) However, comments were also received with regard to the
inappropriateness of such an allowance as follows:
— the complainants mention that Chinese magnesium entering
the European Community during the investigation period wasgenerally declared to be of high (99,95 % and above) purity at
which level it was not subject to the 5,3 % customs duty and,
therefore, it is incompatible that the exporters are nowclaiming a quality difference for alleged oxidisation which is
a physical impurity.
However, they do not specifically dispute the allegation that
Chinese material is more subject to oxidation and, moreover, asignificant proportion of imports from the People’ s Republicof China entered the European Community, during the
investigation period, with a declared purity of less than
99,95 % magnesium content. It should also be noted thatoxidation can continue after release for free circulation whenthe product is still in the warehouse,
— Hydro Magnesium indicated in a letter that ‘Surface oxidation
is present in all magnesium regardless of by whom or where it
is produced’. However, it should be noted that the Chineseproduct is particularly prone to surface oxidation because of
the exposure to humidity and dampness during the long sea
voyage and the low level of technology used when producingthe Chinese product.
(14) The balance of evidence suggested that Chinese magnesium is more
subject to oxidisation and that, as a result, buyers expect Chinese
magnesium to be sold at a discount.
(15) It was decided that the level of such an adjustment should be set at
6,25 %. This level was considered to be a reasonable estimation of thepurchasers’ perception of the price discount associated with the quality
difference between the two products.
(b) Other adjustments
(16) In the absence of further comments concerning the comparison of the
export price with the normal value, the conclusion set out in recital 23
of the Provisional Regulation is hereby confirmed.
4.Dumping margin
(a) Individual treatment
(17) The Chinese cooperating exporters argued that their dumping margins
would be increased due to the use of the non-cooperating exporters’
data in the calculation of a single dumping margin and requested to be
treated differently from the non-cooperating exporters.
As a general rule a single countrywide dumping margin is calculated
for non-market economy countries unless individual treatment is
exceptionally granted to some exporters which is not the case in this
investigation.
Furthermore, all cooperating exporters are traders, but not producers,
and it is the Community’s policy not to specify individual duty rates fortraders as they can easily change their source of supply.
(b) Dumping margin
(18) A comparison of the weighted average normal value, as revised for
quality d ifferences, with the weighted average export price as
previously established revealed the existence of dumping. The revised
single weighted average dumping margin for all Chinese exportersexpressed as a percentage of the cif export price free-at-Community-
frontier amounted to 31,7 %.
E.INJURY AND CAUSATION
(19) The cooperating exporters criticised the Commission’ s approach of
examining the development of injury factors using 1995 as the main
base year by arguing that this distorted the injury assessment because
there were industry-wide increases in sales volume and prices in 1995!B1998R2402 — EN — 22.12.2000 — 002.001 — 5
due to favourable market conditions. However, as explained in the
Provisional Regulation (recital 27), 1993 and 1994 data were also usedfor reasons of completeness and in the interest of a fair assessment ofinjury. In any event, conclusions on the assessment of injury would not
have been different had 1993 been taken as the base year. Therefore the
approach adopted at the provisional stage is confirmed.
1.Price and volume of the dumped imports
(20) A comparison of sales prices of the Community producer with those of
the Chinese exporters on the Community market for the investigationperiod showed a weighted average price undercutting margin,
expressed as a percentage of the Community industry sales price, of
36,8 %. This comparison was made at the same level of trade. Sincethe Chinese exporters sold to traders who in turn resold to end-userswhereas the Community producer sold directly to end-users, the
Community industry’ s sales prices were adjusted downwards deducting
transport and certain sales expenses resulting in a price comparable tothe import prices at cif level.
Following the imposition of a provisional anti-dumping duty, the
undercutting margin has been adjusted to allow for the difference in
physical characteristics between the product concerned originating inthe People’s Republic of China and the product concerned produced bythe Community industry. The amount of the adjustment was
determined in the same way as the corresponding adjustment used
when comparing the export price with the normal value as explained inrecital 15.
2.Causation of injury
(21) The exporters argued that the injury suffered by the Community
industry (namely loss of sales volume and market share and a
reduction in sales prices) was due to costs associated with PEM’ s
privatisation and a restructuring initiative which would have affected itduring the period for the assessment of injury. This argument cannot
be accepted since the investigation demonstrated that the Community
industry was not the only seller on the EU market who suffered lossesof market share and reductions in sales volume and prices during theinjury assessment period.
Moreover, all abovementioned costs were excluded from the total cost
of production and had no effect on the calculation of the injury margin
as described in more detail in recital 27 below.
(22) Therefore, it is confirmed that the dumped imports from the People’s
Republic of China have, when taken in isolation, caused material
injury to the Community industry. The pricing behaviour of Chinese
exporters on the Community market (coupled with steeply increasingvolumes) is in sharp contrast to that of the other market participants
and points to the conclusion that dumped imports from the People’s
Republic of China have caused injury to a degree which can beclassified as material.
F.COMMUNITY INTEREST
1.The Community industry
(23) The findings of the Provisional Regulation (recital 50) are confirmed.
2.Traders/importers
(24) The findings of the Provisional Regulation (recital 51) are confirmed.
3.Interest of the users
(25) Since the publication of the Provisional Regulation, verification visits
have been carried out to the two companies involved in the processingof magnesium ingots into granules, powders and alloys, i.e. PometonSpA (Italy) and Magnesium Elektron, a division of British Aluminium
Ltd (UK).
As a result, the findings of the Provisional Regulation (recitals 52 to
54) are confirmed.!B1998R2402 — EN — 22.12.2000 — 002.001 — 6
4.Conclusion on Community interest
(26) In view of the existence of a wide range of different sources of
magnesium, it is expected that competition will remain intense on theCommunity market.
At the same time, any price increase resulting from anti-dumping
measures has the potential to increase the costs of the downstreamindustry while in the event of the sole Community producer ceasing toproduce magnesium there would be less competition on the
Community market.
In these circumstances, the investigation has suggested that the
downstream industries’ future would neither be jeopardised nordisproportionately affected as a consequence of the measures taken.
This is particularly true for the two sectors of the industry representing
the majority of consumption of the product concerned, i.e. the
manufacturer of aluminium and magnesium grinders, where onlymarginal cost increases can be anticipated.
Therefore, it is considered that the benefits from removing the injury
being suffered by the Community producer outweigh the potential
negative effects to the users of the product concerned in the event of
the imposition of measures and it is concluded that there is no reasonto consider that taking measures would be against the overall interest
of the Community.
G. DUTY
1.Injury elimination level
(27) In order to prevent further injury being caused by the dumped imports,
anti-dumping measures in the form of definitive duties should be
adopted.
For the purpose of determining the level of these duties, the
Commission took account of the dumping margins found and theamount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury sustained by theCommunity industry.
As the injury consists principally of price depression and suppression
resulting in a loss of profitability as well as a decrease in market share,the removal of such injury requires that the industry should be able toincrease prices to a non-injurious level. To achieve this, the prices of
imports of the product concerned originating in the People’s Republic
of China should be increased accordingly.
The representative production costs of the Community industry were
therefore used, together with a profit margin of 5 %, this beingconsidered necessary to ensure the viability of the industry.
The resulting non-injurious price based on these production costs and
the profit margin was compared with the prices of the dumped importsused to establish undercutting as mentioned in recital 20 above.
The differences between these prices (on a weighted average basis and
expressed as a percentage at cif level) result in an underselling margin
of 41,0 %. This margin is above the dumping margin established.
Pursuant to Article 9(4) of the Basic Regulation, the definitive duty
should therefore be set at the level of the dumping margin establishedat 31,7 %.
2.Form and level of duty
(28) In order to be consistent with the measures adopted in the previous
proceeding concerning the same product and given the material injury
suffered by the Community industry and the nature of the product, a
variable duty is considered the most appropriate in this case. In thesecircumstances, it is proposed that a variable duty should be adoptedbased on a minimum price of ECU 2 622 per tonne on a cif
Community border level for imports of unwrought unalloyed
magnesium originating in the People’ s Republic of China.!B1998R2402 — EN — 22.12.2000 — 002.001 — 7
This form of the duty would only apply, however, where the cif
Community frontier price is established on the basis of an invoiceissued by an exporter located in the People’s Republic of China to aparty unrelated to it.
In all other cases an ad valorem duty of 31,7 % would be applied.
H. COLLECTION OF THE PROVISIONAL DUTY
(29) Given the magnitude of the injury suffered, the amounts secured by
way of provisional anti-dumping duty under the Provisional Regulationshould be definitively collected to the extent of the amount of the
definitive duties imposed,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. A definitive anti-dumping duty is hereby imposed on imports of
unwrought unalloyed magnesium falling within CN codes 8104 11 00 andex 8104 19 00 (TARIC code 8104 19 00*20) originating in the People’sRepublic of China.
For the purpose of this Regulation, unwrought unalloyed magnesium shall
comprise:
— unwrought magnesium unintentionally containing small amounts of other
elements as impurities, and
— unwrought magnesium, containing intentionally added elements such as
aluminium and zinc, which does not correspond to one of the alloysdescribed in the Annex to this Regulation (TARIC additional code:
8592).
2. The amount of the anti-dumping duty shall be:
(a) the difference between the minimum import price of EUR 2 622 per
tonne and the cif Community frontier price in all cases where the latter is:
— less than the minimum import price (TARIC additional code A 156),
and
— established on the basis of an invoice issued by an exporter located in
the People’s Republic of China to a party unrelated to it.
No duty shall be collected where the cif Community frontier price per
tonne is equal to or higher than the minimum import price;
(b) equal to an ad valorem duty of 63,4 % in all other cases not falling under
subparagraph (a) (TARIC additional code 8900).
3. The provisions in force concerning customs duties shall apply.
4. In instances where the customs value is reduced pursuant to Article 145
of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2454/93 (
1), the minimum import price,
referred to in paragraph 2(a) above, will also be reduced, on a pro rata basis,
so that the duty payable will be the amount by which the reduced minimum
price exceeds the reduced customs value.
Article 2
The amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty imposed
pursuant to Regulation (EC) No 1002/98 shall be definitively collected at thelevel of the duties definitively imposed on imports of unwrought puremagnesium, as defined in the Provisional Regulation, originating in the
People’ s Republic of China.
The amounts secured in excess of the definitive anti-dumping levels shall be
released.!B
