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 notmembers of the European Community(
1), and in particular Article 9
and 11(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal submitted by the Commission after
having consulted the Advisory Committee,
Whereas:
A.PROCEDURE
1.Previousinvestigations
(1)In April 1994, further to an anti-dumping investigation initiated
in March 1993 (‘the original investigation’), the Council, by
Regulation (EC) No 1015/94(2) (‘definitive Regulation’),
imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of televisioncamera systems (‘TCS’) originating in Japan. The original inves-tigation covered the period from 1 July 1991 to 31 December1992.
(2)In October 1997, further to an investigation (‘the anti-absorptioninvestigation’) pursuant to Article 12 of Council Regulation (EC)No 384/96 (the ‘basic Regulation’), the Council, by Regulation(EC) No 1952/97(
3), raised the rates of the definitive anti-
dumping duty for two companies concerned, namely for Sony
Corporation (‘Sony’) and Ikegami Tsushinki & Co Ltd to108,3 % and 200,3 % respectively.
(3)In June 1998, the Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1178/
98(4) initiated, pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation,
an investigation concerning the alleged circumvention of theanti-dumping measures in force by the assembly of parts andmodules of TCS in the Community (‘the anti-circumventioninvestigation’). Subsequently the complaining Communityindustry withdrew its complaint and the proceeding was termi-
nated in February 1999. On the basis of the evidence found
during this investigation, the Commission initiated a proceedingpursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation concerning theimports of certain parts of TCS originating in Japan(
5) (‘the
parts investigation’).
(4)In addition, an anti-dumping investigation pursuant to Article 5of the basic Regulation was initiated in January 1999 concerningthe imports of TCS originating in the United States of America(US)(
6) (‘the US investigation’). This investigation was termi-
nated on 1 February 2000, without the imposition of any
measures following the closure of the production facilities of
the single US exporting producer of TCS, a company related toa major Japanese exporting producer of TCS.2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 2

2.Presentinvestigation
2.1.Expiry review
(5)Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry(1)o f
the anti-dumping measures in force on imports of TCS origi-nating in Japan, the Commission received a request to reviewthese measures pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
(6)The request was lodged on 28 January 1999 by Philips DigitalVideo Systems and Thomson Broadcast Systems (the ‘applicantCommunity producers’ or the ‘Community industry’), whosecollective output of TCS constitutes 100 % of the Communityproduction of this product pursuant to Articles 4(1) and 5(4) ofthe basic Regulation.
(7)The request was based on the grounds that the expiry of themeasures would be likely to result in the continuation or recur-rence of dumping and injury to the Community industry.
(8)Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee,that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiryreview, the Commission initiated the present investigationpursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation by the publica-
tion of a notice in the Official Journal of the European
Communities on 30 April 1999(
2).
3.Investigation
(9)The Commission officially advised the applicant Community
producers, the exporting producers in Japan and the representa-
tives of the government of the exporting country, of the
initiation of the review. The Commission sent questionnaires toall these parties and to those who made themselves knownwithin the time limit set in the Notice of Initiation. The Commis-sion also gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity tomake their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
(10)The applicant Community producers replied to the questionnaire.Only one Japanese exporting producer and no unrelated importerreplied to the questionnaire. Fifteen users replied to the question-naire, although some of them did so only partially, and an
association of users provided certain information.
(11)The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed
necessary for the purpose of a determination of the likelihood
of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury and of the
Community interest. Verification visits were carried out at thepremises of the following companies:
(a) applicant Community producers:
— Philips BTS Broadcast Television Systems b.v., Breda
(‘Philips’)
— Thomson Broadcast Systems, Cergy St Christophe
(‘Thomson’).
(b) Exporting producers in Japan
— Hitachi Denshi, Ltd.
(12)The investigation of the likelihood of a continuation and/or
recurrence of dumping covered the period from 1 January 1998to 31 December 1998 (the ‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’). Theexamination of trends relevant for the assessment of any conti-
nuation and/or recurrence of injury covered the period from 1
January 1995 to 31 December 1998 (hereinafter referred to as‘IIP’).2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 3

B.PRODUCTUNDERCONSIDERATIONANDLIKEPRODUCT
1.Productunderconsideration
(13)The product under consideration is television camera systems
(TCS) currently classified under CN-codesexex 8525 3090,ex 8537 1091, ex 8537 10 99, ex 8529 90 81, ex 8529 9088,ex 8543 8995, ex 852821 14, ex 8528 21 16 andex 8528 2190 originating in Japan.
(14)As set out in the definitive Regulation, TCS may consist of thefollowing parts, imported either together or separately:
— a camera head with three or more sensors (12 mm or more
charge-coupled pick-up devices) with more than 400000pixels each, which can be connected to a rear adapter, andhaving a specification of the signal to noise ratio of 55 dBor more at normal gain; either in one piece with the camerahead and the adapter in one housing, or separate;
— a viewfinder (diagonal of 38 mm or more);— a base station or camera control unit (CCU) connected to the
camera by a cable;
— an operational control panel (OCP) for camera control (i.e.
for colour adjustment lens opening or iris) of single cameras;
— a master control panel (MCP) or master set-up unit (MSU)
with selected camera indication, for the overview and foradjustment of several remote cameras.
(15)Products not covered by the above-definition are:
— Lenses;
— Video tape recorders;— Camera heads with the recording unit in the same, insepar-
able, housing;
— Professional cameras which cannot be used for broadcast
purposes;
— Professional cameras listed in the Annex (TARIC additional
code: 8786).
(16)During the course of the investigation it was found that a newmodel of TCS had been developed as from 1997, i.e. a broad-casting camera head which is connected to a videotape recorder(‘camcorder’). The investigation has shown that both the
Community industry and the exporting producers offer their tele-
vision camera heads, in general, with different configurations,either connected to a triax adapter or to a recording unit. Asindicated above, videotape recorders and camera heads with arecording unit in the same housing are excluded from the
product scope of the current proceeding. However, camcorders
may also consist of a camera head docked with a videotaperecorder without both being within the same housing. On thisbasis it was concluded that such type of camera head falls intothe definition of the product under consideration made in thedefinitive Regulation. Furthermore, it has been established that
on the basis of the definition of the product under consideration
mentioned above the recording unit alone does not fall under it.
(17)The investigation has also shown that analogue broadcast TCS
have been gradually replaced by a new type of TCS, digital
broadcast TCS (‘digital TCS’) which have been introduced inthe Community market as from 1997. These digital TCS fallinto the definition of the product under consideration in the defi-nitive Regulation.
2.Likeproduct
(18)It was found that there were no basic differences in the physical
and technical characteristics and uses of the TCS manufacturedby Japanese exporting producers and sold in the Community,and the product manufactured and sold on the domestic marketof the exporting country.2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 4
▼B
(19)Furthermore, the product concerned manufactured by Japanese
exporting producers and sold in the Community and the product
manufactured and sold by the applicant Community producerson the Community market use the same basic technology andare both conform with world-wide applicable industry standards.These products also have the same applications and uses, theyconsequently have similar physical and technical characteristics,
are interchangeable and competing with each other. Furthermore,
both the applicant Community producers and the Japaneseexporting producers manufacture digital products and camcor-ders, which have been the latest technological developmentsrelated to the product concerned as compared with the original
investigation. Therefore, TCS manufactured by Japanese
exporting producers and sold in the Community and TCS manu-factured and sold by the complaining Community industry in theCommunity market are alike within the meaning of Article 1(4)of the basic Regulation.
C.LIKELIHOOD OF RECURRENCE OR CONTINUATION OF
DUMPING
(20)In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the
purpose of this type of review with regard to the dumpingaspects is to determine whether or not, the expiry of measureswould lead to a continuation and/or recurrence of dumping.
1.Level ofcooperation
(21)As compared to previous investigations, the level of cooperation
in the present investigation by the Japanese exporting producerswas particularly low. Only one of the smaller producers of TCScooperated and reported a marginal number of exports of the
product concerned to the Community. The remaining three
companies which had made themselves known in the originalinvestigation refused to provide any cooperation although it iswidely known that they have their head offices, main productionand R&D facilities in Japan and that, for at least two of them,
TCS with their brand name have been sold in the Community
during the IP in substantial quantities.
2.Likelihoodofcontinuationofdumping
(22)Given the low degree of cooperation and the fact that the statis-
tical information available from Eurostat in this respect wasconsidered not to be reliable (the CN codes also cover products
not concerned), it could not be established with certainty
whether there were imports of TCHs as such from Japan.However, it is recalled that during the IP, important parts ofTCS were imported into the Community. Moreover, it was estab-lished that TCS produced in the US by a subsidiary of Sony
were imported into the Community in significant quantities. On
balance, it was therefore considered prudent to conclude that thecurrent import volumes of TCS originating in Japan were lowwhen compared with import volumes during the original investi-gation period. Hence, no conclusion was made regarding thelikelihood of continuation of dumping.
3.Likelihoodofrecurrence ofdumping
(23)In the absence of cooperation from the main Japanese exporting
producers, and in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regu-lation, findings had to be established on the basis of factsavailable. Consequently, and in the absence of any other reliable
source, the analysis regarding the likelihood of recurrence of
dumping, should the measures be allowed to expire, was basedon information provided in the request for a review as well asinformation obtained in the course of the investigation from theCommunity industry and users of TCS.
(24)According to the request, the level of dumping for the camerahead alone is 30,6 %. The corresponding calculation contains a2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 5
▼B
number of conservative estimates. For instance, other elements
of a TCS have not been taken into consideration for the purposeof the aforementioned calculation although they are sometimes
supplied free of charge. This indicates that the actual level of
dumping in case of a repeal of the duty would most likely behigher than 30,6 %.
(25)The request also shows that dumping margins would reach atleast at the level found in the original investigation should
measures be repealed.
(26)On this basis, and in the absence of any more appropriate infor-
mation, it has been concluded that, should measures be repealed,the dumping margins would resume at significant levels.
(27)As far as the likely future volume of exports of TCS to theCommunity is concerned, it was found that according to the
information available, production capacity of TCS in Japan has
remained at least at the same level as that found in the originalinvestigation and it is large enough to allow for the resumptionof considerable exports to the Community if the anti-dumpingduty was to expire. This is confirmed by the fact that the salesof TCS assembled in the Community and in third countries,
which usually incorporate valuable and crucial TCS parts origi-
nating in Japan, indicate that the production capacity wasbasically unchanged.
(28)Furthermore, given the mobile nature of the production, produc-tion capacity for these products may be expanded if necessary
within months. Indeed, the fact that the manufacturing facilities
of one of the Japanese exporting producers were transferred fromthe US to the Community in a time period of some monthsclearly shows that production capacity for the product concernedmay be created/expanded or reduced in a short period of time.Should the anti-dumping measures expire, manufacturing activ-
ities for TCS in the Community could be transferred to Japan
and production capacity in Japan could be easily expanded inorder to resume the exports to the Community.
(29)During the IIP, with the exception of Sony, all Japaneseexporting producers manufactured their TCS for the US andLatin American markets in Japan. Furthermore, on the basis of
the information available, it has been established that TCS
destined for the Japanese and Asian markets were being manu-factured in Japan by all exporting producers. Furthermore, R&Dactivities for these products were also located in Japan since animportant part of these activities benefit not only TCS but also
professional cameras as well as other products. The Japanese
exporting producers were able to adapt to the changing demandby increasing their production in Japan when the marketexpanded. This led to the conclusion that there was free produc-tion capacity left in Japan which was used when theconsumption both in the Community and worldwide expanded.
Therefore, should the anti-dumping measures expire, an increase
in production of the Japanese exporting producers is likely.
(30)It has been concluded that the existing production capacity, aswell as the possibility to increase it if necessary, constituted apotential for Japanese exporting producers to raise their produc-tion and export volumes to the Community in case the anti-
dumping measure were to lapse. Considering that their R&D
facilities as well as the manufacturing facilities for the mainpart of the components of the TCS were located in Japan, thiswould result in an improvement of the economies of scales ofthe Japanese exporting producers.
(31)It should also be noted that the two Japanese exporting produ-cers which set upassembly facilities for TCS in theCommunity maintained the production for export to the Commu-nity of products not subject to anti-dumping duties in Japan, i.e.video tape recorders, camera heads with the recording unit in thesame, inseparable housing and professional cameras that cannot2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 6
▼B
be used for broadcast purposes. Although, as mentioned above,
these products are not covered by the present investigation, theproduction lines and related capacity needed to produce them
are also appropriate for the production of TCS. On this basis
and in the absence of any other information due to the lack ofcooperation from the exporting producers concerned, it wasconcluded that although the imposition of anti-dumping dutieshas led to a change in the organisation of the production of
TCS by the exporting producers concerned, an expiry of the
anti-dumping measures would be likely to reverse this situation.
4.Conclusion
(32)It results from the above that the Japanese exporting producers
have the potential to raise their production in Japan and theirexport volumes of TCS to the Community at significantlydumped prices.
(33)The investigation revealed no facts showing that the situationregarding normal value, export prices and consequently thedumping margins established in the original investigation, theanti-absorption investigation and the anti-circumvention investi-gation have significantly changed. It is therefore concluded that,
should the measures be repealed, there is a likelihood of recur-
rence of dumping.
D.DEFINITIONOFTHECOMMUNITYINDUSTRY
(34)The investigation confirmed that the collective output of the two
applicant Community producers accounts for 100 % of theCommunity production of TCS. The two producers are thereforedeemed to constitute the Community industry within themeaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
(35)As to the other economic operators in the Community related tothe Japanese exporting producers, given the low degree of coop-eration, the nature of their activities within the Community could
not be investigated in detail, i.e. whether these activities are
simple assembly operations or if there is a certain value addedin the Community. Therefore it could not be determined whetherthese assembly operations are sufficient in order to qualify themas companies manufacturing the product under consideration inthe Community. Furthermore, given their relation with the Japa-
nese exporting producers, it was considered that they should be
excluded from the Community industry in accordance withArticle 4(1)(a) of the basic Regulation.
E.ANALYSIS OF THE SITUATION IN THE COMMUNITY
MARKET (1)
1.Preliminary remarks
(36)As described above, the product under consideration in the
current proceeding is TCS which consist of a camera head withthree or more sensors, a view finder, a base station or camera
control unit (CCU), an operational control panel (OCP) and a
master control panel (MCP) or master set-up unit (MSU). Inpractice these components can be sold and therefore alsoimported either together or separately.
(37)The investigation confirmed that while TCS do not alwaysconsist of all of the above elements, they all necessarily includea camera head. Therefore, in line with the approach taken in theoriginal investigation, it was decided to express the economic
indicators relating to the situation of the Community industry
and the situation on the Community market in terms of numbersof television camera heads (‘TCHs’).2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 7
(1) Given that there are only a very limited number of market participants, the
figures relating to them had to be indexed for confidentiality reasons.
▼B
2.Consumption
(38)As mentioned above, only one of the Japanese exporting produ-
cers cooperated in the present investigation. Thus, as regards theother Japanese exporting producers that did not cooperate and
for which the investigation has shown that they are still oper-
ating on the Community market, the Commission made use ofbest facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basicRegulation.
(39)Therefore, the apparent Community consumption of TCHs wasassessed on the basis of:
— the volume of sales in the Community as provided by the
Community industry and
— information on the sales volume of Japanese exporting
producers in the Community submitted by the Community
industry and established on the basis of contracts and tenderslost by the Community industry to all Japanese exportingproducers on the Community market. This information wasconsidered reliable given the transparent nature of the market
in terms of size and number of market participants, it being
largely supplied via tenders. Moreover, the informationprovided by users confirmed the information supplied by theCommunity industry on the activity of the Japanese exportingproducers.
(40)Given the low degree of cooperation and the fact that the statis-tical information available from Eurostat in this respect wasconsidered not to be reliable, it could not be established whether
TCHs were imported as such from Japan. However, regardless of
their origin, these TCHs have been effectively sold under therespective brand names on the Community market and have tobe therefore included in the Community consumption for thisproduct.
(41)On this basis, the investigation has shown that, whereasconsumption was stable in 1995 and 1996, there was an overall
expansion in 1997, which continued during the investigation
period. This was due, amongst other reasons, to the sales ofTCHs for broadcasting the football World Cupheld in Francein 1998 and to the introduction of a new type of TCH, i.e.camcorders, in the market which started from 1997. In overall
terms, from 1995 to the investigation period, Community
consumption increased by 54 %, reaching around 1 500 unitsduring the investigation period.
3.Imports and sales of TCHs by the Japanese exporting
producersintheCommunity
(42)Further to the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duty onimports of TCHs originating in Japan in 1994, these imports
have in any event decreased significantly. As confirmed by the
abovementioned anti-circumvention, parts and US investigations,these imports have been replaced by imports of certain parts ofTCS originating in Japan which are being subsequentlyassembled in the Community by certain Japanese exporting
producers and, in the case of one Japanese exporting producer,
with incomplete TCHs imported from the US. Indeed, thecurrent investigation has shown that Japanese exporting produ-cers have continued to sell TCHs on the Community marketunder their brand names.
(43)Thus, the decrease of imports of TCHs originating in Japan hasto be seen as a consequence of the anti-dumping duty in force
since 1994. The fact that these imports have been replaced by
sales of TCHs assembled in the Community incorporating partsoriginating in Japan shows already that, as explained below,there is a likelihood that imports from the country concernedwould take place at the same levels as in the original investiga-tion in case anti-dumping measures are not maintained.2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 8
▼B
4.EconomicsituationoftheCommunityindustry
(44)Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, all relevant
economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state ofthe Community industry were examined.
(45)The economic indicators relating to the situation of the Commu-nity industry have to be seen in the light of previousinvestigations concerning TCS originating in Japan, i.e. the
original investigation in 1994 and the subsequent anti-absorption
investigation which led to an increase of the rates of that anti-dumping duty. The present investigation has shown that thelatter had a positive effect on the situation of the Communityindustry. In addition, two other factors linked to technologicaldevelopment also had an impact on some of the indicators
below, i.e. the above mentioned introduction of the camcorders,
a new kind of TCHs, in the market as from 1997 and the devel-opment of the new generation of digital TCHs which also startedin 1997.
4.1.Production
(46)Total production of TCHs of the Community industry signifi-
cantly decreased between 1995 and 1996, i.e. by 32 %, thenincreasing again steadily between 1997 and the investigation
period, without recovering however the levels of 1995. In this
respect, production has followed the evolution of the Communitymarket since 1997.
4.2.Production capacity and capacity utilisation
(47)The production capacity of the Community industry remained
stable during the IIP. Capacity utilisation for TCHs went downbetween 1995 and 1996, i.e. by 32 %, increasing again towardsthe investigation period. This development likewise reflects theabove mentioned increase in production volumes as from 1997.
4.3.Sales volume
(48)The sales of the Community industry decreased between 1995
and 1996 by 10 % and they increased from then to 1997 and
the investigation period, i.e. in overall terms they went up by
21 % between 1995 and the investigation period reaching around850 units, without, however, matching the expansion of theCommunity consumption, which substantially increased, i.e. by54 %, during the same period of time.
4.4.Market shares
(49)The steady decrease of the market share of the Community
industry between 1995 and the investigation period by more
than 16 percentage points, reaching around 60 % during the
investigation period, shows that the Community industry didnot benefit from the expansion of the Community consumptionor from the favourable market conditions from 1997 whichresulted from the conclusion of the anti-absorption investigation.
4.5.Employment
(50)Employment has remained stable as from 1996, in which year it
had increased by 20 %, as a result of the introduction of the
camcorders and the new generation of digital TCS.
4.6.Investment
(51)Investments decreased substantially between 1995 and 1996, i.e.
by 21 %, following the negative evolution of production and
sales of the Community industry. They then increased substan-tially in 1997, by around 100 %, due, amongst other reasons, tothe R&D investments linked to the development of the newgeneration of digital TCS but sharply decreased again in theinvestigation period.2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 9
▼B
4.7.Profitability
(52)In 1995 and especially in 1996, the Community industry suffered
significant losses which only diminished as from 1997 at a time
when, amongst other things, the rate of the anti-dumping duty
imposed on TCS originating in Japan was raised and camcorderswere successfully introduced on the market. Throughout thisperiod, however, sales of the Community industry remainedloss-making. These losses were still at a level of around –10 %
on net sales during the investigation period.
5.ConclusiononthesituationintheCommunitymarket
(53)The investigation has shown that anti-dumping duties have very
rarely been paid during the IIP. Indeed, as from the imposition
of an anti-dumping duty on imports of TCHs originating in
Japan, they have been replaced by imports of parts of TCHsoriginating in Japan, which have been subject to anti-circumven-tion and anti-dumping investigations as from 1998. However, thedevelopment of the market after the imposition of the measures
reveals that Japanese exporting producers have continued to sell
TCHs on the Community market.
(54)As concerns the pricing behaviour of the Japanese exportingproducers, the anti-absorption investigation concluded in 1997showed that export prices of the Japanese exporting producershad gone below the level of 1994.
(55)After the imposition of the anti-dumping measures in 1994, andduring the whole IIP, the situation of the Community industryimproved as regards some of the economic indicators examined.Continued efforts to rationalise the production process and newinvestments were made, showing an industry that is still viable.However, the overall assessment of the economic indicators
during the IIP does not show such a favourable development.
Indeed, during the IIP, the Community industry's sales volumedid not follow the growing trend of the market and onlyincreased by 21 % whilst the Community consumption expandedby 54 %. These opposing trends resulted in a loss of market
share by the Community industry by 16 percentage points.
Furthermore, even though its losses diminished during the IIP,the Community industry continued to suffer losses of around–10 % during the investigation period whereas in such anindustry, a profit level of 15 % must be considered necessary tofinance the investment needed to keepupto date with technolo-
gical development.
(56)On the basis of the above, it is therefore concluded that, in spite
of the measures in force, due to the continued price pressureexerted by the Japanese exporting producers, the Communityindustry remained in a difficult economic situation. This price
pressure prevented the Community industry from fully reco-
vering from the effects of the previous and ongoing dumpingpractices.
F.LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUATION AND/OR RECURRENCE
OFINJURIOUSDUMPING
(57)In order to assess the likely effect of the expiry of the measures
in force, and taking into account that the Community industry isstill in a difficult situation, the following elements were consid-ered, in addition to those already mentioned above.
(58)The current investigation has shown that Japanese exportingproducers have continued to sell TCHs on the Communitymarket under their brand names(
1).2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 10
(1) The origin of these TCS remains unclear since it could not be determined
whether they were imported as such from Japan or if, as mentioned above,
only parts thereof were imported in order to be subsequently assembled in
the Community.
▼B
(59)Indeed, sales of TCHs by Japanese exporting producers in the
Community increased considerably in terms of volume between
1995 and the investigation period, i.e. by 157 %, reachingaround 600 units during the investigation period.
(60)With respect to the development of their market share, theoverall trend shows a constant and significant increase between1995 and the investigation period, i.e. by more than 16 percen-tage points, reaching a level of around 40 % during the
investigation period.
(61)As regards sales prices of the Japanese exporting producers forTCHs sold on the Community market, the investigation has
shown that they were significantly below the Community indus-try's sales prices.
(62)The Japanese exporting producers provided no information onsales prices. However, it was established that sales made viatenders both by the Community industry and the Japaneseexporting producers represented an important part of the overall
sales of TCHs during the IP (around 40 %). On the basis of
tenders for which information was available from the Commu-nity industry and users, prices offered by the exportingproducers were, in general, lower than prices offered by theCommunity industry both for the total tender(
1) and for TCHs
taken in isolation. In one of the tenders analysed, the global
price offered by a Japanese exporting producer was 37 % lower
than the one offered by the Community producer. In this tender,the Community producer had to grant an additional discount ofmore than 40 % in order to win the tender. Another tender in adifferent Member State showed that, in the second round of
negotiations and despite having granted significant discounts
between the first and the second round, the final offer of theJapanese exporting producer was still around 20 % lower thanthe offer of the Community producer participating in the tender.In these circumstances, the latter lost the tender.
(63)It was likewise established that the low prices offered during atender necessarily influence all prices negotiated in follow-up
transactions and in subsequent tenders held in the same Member
State. It follows that the price behaviour in tenders actuallyinfluenced a significantly higher share of the Community marketthan the 40 % of it that were governed directly by tenders. Thus,the analysis of the tenders has not only shown the extent towhich the prices offered by the Community industry have been
undercut by those offered by exporting producers during the
tenders (upto 37 %) but also the dep ressive effect of thedumped imports on the sales prices of the Community industry.
(64)These price differences should be seen bearing in mind that themarket for TCS was found to be price-sensitive and transparent,with a small number of players, and that the Communityindustry suffered losses of around 10 %, whereas in this kind of
high-technology industry a profit of 15 % must be deemed
appropriate so that an industry can keep up with the pace oftechnological developments.
(65)On this basis, should the measures be repealed, it can beexpected that the Japanese exporting producers would manufac-ture again complete TCS in Japan, where, as mentioned above,the production capacity exists, their R&D departments are
located and where they could benefit from economies of scale.
Moreover, it was considered that the exporting producers wouldbe likely to continue to sell their products on the Communitymarket at prices significantly lower than those of the Communityindustry, thus contributing to the continuation of the injurioussituation of the Community industry.2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 11
(1) Calls for tenders usually include complete TCS and not only TCHs.
▼B
(66)As to the pricing behaviour of the Japanese exporting producers
on third countries, on the basis of the information made avail-
able by the Community industry, a parallel was drawn betweenthe behaviour of Japanese exporting producers in the US and inthe Community. In both markets, Japanese prices were, ingeneral, lower than those of the Community industry and thisduring the whole of the IIP, but more in particular in 1998.
(67)More specifically, when analysing the information available ontenders on the North American markets, it was found that the
Japanese exporting producers were granting discounts up to
70 % off their price lists and that prices offered by them wereconsequently upto 50 % lower than p rices offered by theCommunity industry. In addition, certain elements of a TCS oreven other equipment sold in combination with TCS in thesame tender, were sometimes offered free of charge or with
high discounts such as the already mentioned 70 %.
(68)Furthermore, on the basis of the information available on tendersheld in Latin-America, prices offered by the Japanese exporting
producers were also lower than those of the Community industryin similar proportions and the same behaviour as to discountsand products offered free of charge existed.
(69)From the above, it was concluded that, in the absence ofmeasures, prices of Japanese exporting producers could at leastremain at the current levels found on the Community market
which are significantly lower than those of the Community
industry and could even potentially fall to levels comparable tothe prices for imports originating in Japan into the US, Canadianand Latin-American markets or to the level of prices found inthe original investigation.
Conclusion on the recurrence of injurious dumping
(70)In view of the above, namely of the following factors:
— despite the measures in force, the Community industry was
still in a difficult economic situation;
— the sales of TCHs manufactured by the Japanese exporting
producers held an exceptionally strong position on the
Community market and were made at extremely low prices
by comparison with the prices of the Community industry;
— the prices which Japanese exporting producers might charge
in the absence of anti-dumping measures were determined aspotentially very low if one considers the producers' behaviourin the North American and Latin-American markets, where
their prices were lower than those of the Community
industry;
— the information available on the production capacity in Japan
as well as on the possibility to expand it when necessary inorder to react to an expansion of demand gave an indicationthat the Japanese exporting producers had the potential toraise their production and export volumes;
— even though a high anti-dumping duty reaching up to 200 %
was in force, the Japanese exporting producers were able tooffer prices which were lower than those of the Communityindustry, thus giving an indication that they are fully capableof maintaining an aggressive pricing policy in spite of themeasures in force;
it is concluded that, should the measures be repealed, there is a
likelihood of recurrence of injurious dumping and that themeasures currently in force should therefore be maintained.
G.COMMUNITYINTEREST
1.Introduction
(71)According to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission
examined whether a prolongation of the existing anti-dumping2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 12
▼B
measures would be against the interest of the Community as a
whole. The determination of the Community interest was basedon an appreciation of all the various interests involved.
(72)In order to assess the likely impact of a continuation or non-continuation of the measures, the Commission requested infor-mation from the Community industry and users of TCS. TheCommission sent questionnaires to more than sixty users of theproduct concerned. Fifteen replies were received, although the
information provided was incomplete in many cases.
(73)It should be recalled that, in the previous investigation, the adop-
tion of measures was considered not to be against the interest ofthe Community. Furthermore, it should be noted that the presentinvestigation is a review, thus analysing a situation in whichanti-dumping measures are already in place. Consequently, the
current investigation should enable the assessment of any undue
negative impact the current anti-dumping measures may havehad in the past on the parties concerned.
(74)On this basis it was examined, whether, despite the conclusionson the likely continuation and/or recurrence of injuriousdumping, compelling reasons exist which would lead to the
conclusion that it is not in the Community interest to maintain
measures in this particular case.
2.InterestsoftheCommunityindustry
(75)It is considered that without maintaining the anti-dumping
measures established in the previous investigation, injurious
dumping is likely to continue or recur and the situation of theCommunity industry, which is still fragile, will further deterio-rate.
(76)As shown above, the Community industry has been affected bythe low priced sales of TCHs by Japanese exporting producers in
the Community during the IIP. It is therefore considered that the
objective of the anti-dumping measures under review, i.e. to re-establish fair competition in the Community market between theCommunity producers and their exporting counterparts in thirdcountries, has not been fully met.
(77)The Community industry has proven to be a structurally viableand successful industry, able to adapt its product range to thechanging competitive conditions on the market and even to gainsome technological lead in the development of the digital tech-nology, this being confirmed in particular by its investmentduring the IIP.
(78)However, it cannot be excluded that this industry would reduceits manufacturing activities for the product concerned in theCommunity if the anti-dumping measures were not maintained.This conclusion is justified in view of the duration of the nega-tive profitability situation (during the investigation period, theCommunity industry has suffered around 10 % losses). As
mentioned above, without anti-dumping measures, imports of
TCHs originating in Japan would likely restart and their price-depressive effect will continue to frustrate all efforts of theCommunity industry to regain a satisfactory margin of profit-ability, which is especially needed to keep up with the pace of
technological development in this kind of industry. In addition,
since certain operations of the TCHs production are labour inten-sive, it is highly possible that they would be de-located to lowlabour cost countries in order to reduce such costs.
(79)Indeed, should the deteriorated economic situation of theCommunity industry continue, it might be forced to reduce its
manufacturing activities in the Community, and around 250
jobs directly linked to the product concerned would be endan-gered. Should however anti-dumping duties be maintained, thisindustry will be able to maintain and further developits activ-ities in the Community. Also, a further number of jobs linkedindirectly to the production of TCS, mainly in R&D would be2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 13
▼B
secured. Thus, overall employment in the Community in relation
to TCS would be secured and can even be expected to riseshould anti-dumping measures be maintained.
(80)As to R&D developments, the production of television camerasystems has spin-off effects which are mainly related to thedevelopment of a part of the TCHs, i.e. the CCD block, sinceits components are used as well for other applications such assecurity systems, medical, industrial and telecommunicationsapplications. Furthermore, the existence of a Community
industry manufacturing TCS has an impact on the entire televi-
sion industry, i.e. from the development and manufacturing ofbroadcast equipment to the production of television sets andrecorders, but it may also have an influence on the standardsset for the Community television sector in the near future.
(81)Given the above, it was concluded that to prolong the existingmeasures in order to ward off the adverse effects of dumped
imports which could endanger the existence of the Community
industry and consequently a number of jobs was necessary. Ithas also to be considered that if this high-technology industrydisappears, there would be a negative impact on the televisionindustry in general.
3.Interests of related importers and economic operators in
theCommunity
(82)As regards the economic operators in the Community related toJapanese exporting producers, it is likely that the decision tomaintain the anti-dumping measures would have positive effectswith regard to production and employment in the Community,
since some of the manufacturing activities of TCS which took
place in the Community would even become more important asevidenced following the initiation of the US investigation andwould not be relocated to Japan.
4.Interestsofusers
(83)Users of TCS were mainly licensed broadcasting companies that
broadcast their own programmes by using their own equipment.However, there were also licensed broadcasters which did notbroadcast their own programmes as well as facility companieswhich supply equipment including camera systems as well ascrews to their customers and, finally, rental companies which
provide camera and other equipment to various customers. All
these users of TCS usually purchased directly from the TCSproducers.
(84)Only fifteen out of the sixty users to which the questionnairewas sent by the Commission replied and partially cooperated.The low level and degree of cooperation is in itself an indication
that this sector did not suffer any substantial negative effect on
its economic situation as a result of the anti-dumping measures.
(85)This conclusion was in line with findings in earlier proceedingswhere it was found that TCS were not a significant cost factorfor the users, since in relation to their production of broadcastprogrammes, they only accounted for a small proportion of theirtotal costs. Indeed, when looking only at equipment costs of the
users, the cost of a TCS represented around 10 % in a studio and
reached upto 20 % in a small outside broadcasting vehicle.However, when looking at the total costs of a broadcastingcompany, and not only at the equipment, the percentagedecreased since there were other more important costs such as
programme production, personnel, overheads, etc. which were
well above the mere cost of a TCS. In addition, the average lifetime of a TCS has been estimated by the cooperating users ataround eight years reaching, exceptionally, more than fifteenyears, which means that TCS were far from being a recurrentcost factor for the users.2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 14
▼B
(86)Likewise, in general terms, the effects on either category of
users were relatively limited when compared to the size of the
global turnover of broadcasting companies and of other compa-nies dealing with TCS, i.e. the purchase of a TCS representsaround 0,1 % of the total turnover of broadcasting companiesand around 1 % of the turnover of production and rental compa-nies.
(87)The investigation has also shown, as mentioned above, thatprices of TCS in the Community in no way significantly
increased following the imposition of an anti-dumping duty
concerning imports of TCS originating in Japan. Indeed, certainusers continued, and even started, to purchase TCS manufacturedby the Japanese exporting producers in spite of the measures inforce. These measures therefore did not constitute a deterrent forTCS users to change their sources of supply. Thus, any increase
of the import price was apparently not such as to constitute any
significant inconvenience.
(88)On the basis of the above, it can be ruled out that the anti-dumping measures had any significant negative influence on thecost situation and on the profitability of the users of the productconcerned. Thus, the result of the anti-dumping measures inforce has not been to close the Community market to TCSmanufactured by Japanese exporting producers, but rather to
counter the unfair trade practices and to remedy to some extent
the distorting effects of dumped imports.
(89)Since the measures have been in place for a certain period andwould be maintained at the same level, it can be concluded thatthis would not imply any deterioration of the situation of theusers.
5.Competitionandtradedistortingeffects
(90)With respect to the effects on competition in the Community,
some interested parties have argued that, should the anti-dumping duties be maintained, this would lead to the disappear-ance of the exporting producers concerned from the Community
market, thus considerably weakening competition, and to an
increase of the prices for TCS.
(91)However, it appears more likely that the Japanese exportingproducers will continue to sell TCS albeit at non-injuriousprices, as they have a solid technological basis, a strong marketposition and manufacturing facilities in the Community. Thisconclusion is confirmed by the developments further to theimposition of the anti-dumping duty in 1994 and to the increase
of the rate in 1997, which did not lead to any harmful effects for
the competition on the Community market.
(92)Given the rapid technological development in this sector, compe-tition will, without any doubt, remain strong after thecontinuation of anti-dumping-measures. Given also the fact thata number of actors in the market for TCS have nowadays estab-lished their manufacturing facilities for these products in the
Community, they will be able to satisfy the user's demand and
to offer a wide range of models. Thus, the continuation of theanti-dumping measures in force will not limit the user's choiceor weaken competition.
6.ConclusiononCommunityinterest
(93)Based on the above, it is concluded that there are no compelling
reasons on grounds of Community interest against the prolonga-tion of the existing anti-dumping measures.
H.ANTI-DUMPINGMEASURES
(94)All parties concerned were informed of the essential facts and
considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recom-mend the maintenance of the existing anti-dumping duty in2000R2042 — EN — 28.09.2002 — 004.001 — 15
▼B
respect of imports of TCS originating in Japan. They were also
granted a period within which to make representations subse-quent to this disclosure. No comments were received which
were of a nature to change the above conclusions.
(95)It follows from the above that, as provided for by Article 11(2)
of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping duty currently in forcewith regards to imports of TCS originating in Japan imposed by
Council Regulation (EC) No 1015/94, as amended by Council
Regulation (EC) No 1952/97, should be maintained.
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
