Some Community users argued that it would not be cost-effective to switch to the production of LMP. It was argued that although the production lines for LMP and other bi-component PSF types are basically the same, a switch to the production of LMP would require certain modifications, in particular the change of spinnerets, and would cause considerable downtimes. Thus, although switching to the production of LMP or vice versa is technically feasible, it may not be efficient and this may affect the available capacity for LMP. The association of Community producers and one Community producer argued that the production process for all bi-component PSF is basically the same and switching to LMP production has no technical shortcomings, but that it purely depends on market forces such as demand and prices. Furthermore, they argued that there is sufficient overall capacity to satisfy demand for LMP in the Community if the market conditions would allow. In this respect, the following should be noted. Firstly, the conclusion that no substantial difference exists between production of LMP and other PSF types was not challenged. Secondly, the cost-effectiveness of switching to the production of LMP or vice versa may vary significantly from one producer to the other but it is in fact done by some Community producers. Finally, whether a producer would switch to the production of LMP depends largely on the sales prices it can obtain for the different PSF types in the market. In this respect, it is also noted that there are no exclusive producers of LMP in the Community or the exporting countries concerned. Therefore, this argument cannot alter the conclusions in respect of the production process.
