                        COUNCIL REGULATION ( EEC )
  Imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on Imports of calcium metal
  originating in the People 's Republic of China and the Soviet Union
     and definitively collecting the provisional anti-dumping duty

                           ИДЕШИДШГ М&ОЙМШ
 1 . By Regulation (EEC) No 707/891) the Commission imposed a
      provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of calcium metal
      originating in the People 's Republic of China and the Soviet Union .
 2 . By Council Regulation (ESC) No 2165/882) the period of validity of
      the provisional duty imposed, on Chinese and Soviet imports of
      calcium metal was extended for a further period not exceeding two
      months . This provisional duty will expire on 21 September 1989 .
 3 . After the imposition of the provisional duties , an independent
      importer (who also transforms the calcium metal ) and the sole
     Community producer request©! and were granted hearings . Both these
      two parties made their views known in written submissions and were
     informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of
     which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive
     duties . The Chinese and Soviet exporters were also informed of the
     intention to impose definitive duties higher than the amount of the
     provisional anti-dumping duties .
4.   As regards the description of the product , an importer has claimed
     that the imported Chinese and Soviet calcium is not a like product
     to calcium produced in the Community . The Commission , having
     examined the arguments , has found that , although Community produced
     calcium is of a slightly lower degree of purity than the imported
     calcium , Community produced calcium and the imported Chinese and
     Soviet product have sufficiently close physical and technical
     characteristics , the same end uses and the same markets to be
     considered as like products .
5 . As regards the dumping , definitive normal value was established in
     the same way as the provisional normal value , i.e. by reference to
     domestic selling prices in a market economy country , the United
     States of America . An importer has contested the calculation
     alleging that prices were based on inter company transactions by
1 ) OJNoL 78 , 21.3.1989 , p.10
2) OJNo L 208 , 20.7.1969 , p. 1
 ---pagebreak---                                    - 2 -
     the US producer giving excessive profits and the importer suggested
     that normal value should be determined on the basis of constructed
     value . This suggestion has been rejected since the Commission had
     only taken sales transactions to independent end users and found
     that these sales allowed a reasonable but not excessive profit .
    lie comparison of normal value to export prices , after taking
    account where appropriate of differences affecting price
    comparability , showed Chinese and Soviet exports were being dumped
    in the Community with weighted average dumping margins of 21.©% and
    22.0% for the Chinese and Soviet product respectively .
6 . An importer has also disputed the preliminary conclusions as
    regards injury on the grounds that :
      - the period chosen to examine injury is not appropriate ;
      - the Gormnunity producer 's decision to invest in new capacity was
         unjustified and was responsible for lav capacity utilization ;
      - the Community producer has chosen not to supply the importer
         resulting in self inflicted injury ;
      - the fall in sailing prices of the Cammunity producer has been
         due to other factors than just low prices of imported products ;
      - other third countries have also been responsible for any injury
         caused ;
      - prior to 1365 , it was the Community producer who practiced
         price undercutting and has forced the Chinese and Soviet
         exporters to follow these price trends .
    After due consideration , however , none of the above arguments pit
    forward by the importer leads the Gorrmisslon to amend the
    preliminary conclusions set out in the above Regulation , which are
    consequently confirmed .
7 . Concerning Community Interest , an importer has also contested the
    Commission's preliminary conclusions claiming that :
      - calcium is no longer used in the production of uranium ;
      - the impact of a dirty would sigxrLficantiy increase its costs and
        threaten its viability to continue in business ;
 ---pagebreak---                                      - 3 -
     - it is in the interests of the Community to pursue developments
           in the industrial sector of new types of magnets , which, the
           importer as a transformer is a leading contributor through the
           use of imported Chinese and Soviet calcium .
   After due consideration , the Commission is unable to accept the
   rfl a.i ms made by the importer . The Commission considers that , in
   view of the injury suffered by the Community industry , the limited
   impact of such a duty on prices for Community end users , and the
   strategic importance of continuing to produce calcium within the
   Community , the Community interest requires action to be taken .
8. The Commission has re-examined the purchase prices of the Community
   importers with the selling price necessary to provide an adequate
   profit (5% margin on the sales price) for the Community producer ,
   the injury threshold . Taking into account the conclusions reached
   concerning injury , that there has been price undercutting and that
   the Community producer has suffered considerable financial losses
   in selling below its cost of production , the Commission has
   concluded that definitive anti-dumping duties should he imposed
   against imports of calcium originating in the People 's Republic of
   China and the Soviet Union higher than the amount of the
   provisional anti-dumping duties and equivalent to the definitive
   dumping margins found , which are below the injury threshold . The
   Commission subsequently proposes the Council impose a definitive
   anti-dumping duty of 21.8% and 22.0% of the net free-at-Ccmmunity-
   frentier price before duty of imported calcium metal originating in
   the People 's Republic of China and the Soviet Union respectively .
9. The Anti-dumping Committee has been consulted and has given a
   favourable opinion .

TUE OCUMuEL OF THE EUROPEEN COMIHITIBS ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Commun!ty ,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) Ho 2423/88 of 11 July 1988 on
protection against dumped or subsidised imports from countries not
members of the European Community^1), and in particular Article 12

Whereas :
                            A. Provisional action.
1.    The Commission, by Regulation (EEC) No 707/80(2), imposed a
      provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of calcium metal
      originating in the People 's Republic of China and the Soviet
      Union . That duty was extended for a maximum period of two months
      by Regulation (EEC) No 2165/69. (3).

                              B. Subsequent procedure
   (2) Following the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping duty , the
         Community producer and an independent importer (who also
         transforms the product) requested , and were granted , an
         opportunity to be heard by the Commission . They also made written
         submissions making known their views on the findings .
   (3 ) Upon request , the Community producer and the importer were
         informed of the essential facts and considerations on the ha-si s of
        which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive
        duties and the definitive collection of amounts secured by way of
        a provisional duty . They were also granted a period within which
        they could make further representations to these disclosure
        meetings . The importer made comments which were considered prior
        to the Commission finalising its conclusions .
        The Chinese and Soviet exporters were also informed of the
        intention to recommend the imposition of definitive duties higher
        than the amount of the provisional anti-dumping duties . The
        Chinese exporter responded by repeating an allegation concerning
        injury , which was considered prior to the Commission finalising
        its conclusions .
                          C. Description of the product
  (4) In its provisional findings , recital 6 of Regulation (EEC) No
        707/89 , the Commission had concluded that calcium metal (calcium)
        is used essentially in the metallurgical and uranium industries .
        This conclusion was contested by one importer , who also transforms
        the product in question , on the grounds that calcium 1s no longer
        used in the production of uranium . The Commission has examined
        this claim and has found that , whilst calcium continues to be used
        in the uranium industry , this usage is indeed limited and that
5       calcium is used essentially in the metallurgical industry .
  (5) The same Importer has also claimed that the imported calcium from
        the People 's Republic of China, and the Soviet Union is not a like
        product to calcium produced in the Community . The importer has
        alleged that Community-produced calcium is of a poorer quality and
 ---pagebreak---                                   - 3 -
     Is more difficult to transform than Chinese or Soviet imported
     calcium and that only Chinese and Soviet imported calcium can he
     vised for many of the uses of calcium metal .
     Concerning physical and technical characteristics , although
     Community-produced calcium , without distillation , is of a slightly
     lower degree of purity than Chinese and Soviet imported calcium ,
     both the Ccmmmity-produoed calcium and the imported products are
     commercial grade material and both need further distillation to
     produce the highest purity grade of calcium .
     The majority of calcium end use is for metallurgical applications ,
    where , in many cases , Ccmrmmity- produced calcium is directly
     substitutable by Chinese and Soviet imported calcium . The
    importer has claimed that only calcium from the People ' s Republic
     of China and the Soviet Union can be used for certain technical
    applications in the iron and steel industry and for calcium
    thermic reactions , although this claim was denied by the Community
    producer . The importer has also requested that an expert be
    nominated to carry out a technical analysis of the products in
    question . This request has not been accepted since the importer ,
    as a transformer , whilst claiming to experience difficulties in
    using the Community product , has itself acknowledged that it can
    technically use the Community-produced calcium instead of the
    Chinese or Soviet imported product . The importer has even
    complained that the Community producer has refused to supply
    Community produced calcium for its use . (See recital 15 below) .
(6) The Soviet exporter had also claimed during the procedure that its
    product was not a like product to the Community producer , bit on
    the grounds that Soviet-produced calcium was poorer in quality .
    No end user of calcium has either requested a hearing or made any
    written submission to contest the Commission 's findings on this
    subject .
    In these circumstances , the Commission has concluded that ,
    although Community-produced calcium is of a slightly lower degree
    of purity than Chinese and Soviet imported calcium . Community
 ---pagebreak---                                   - 4 -
     produced calcium and the imported product from the People 's
     Repuhllo of China and the Soviet Union have sufficiently close
     physical and technical characteristics , the same end uses and the
     same markets to be considered as Hke products .
(7) In the light of the findings presented in Regulation
     (EEC) No 707/89 (recitals 6 to 8), and of the considerations set
     out above , the Council concludes that the Chinese and Soviet
     Imports are like products to calcium produced in the Community ,
     within the meaning of Article 2(12) of Regulation (EEC) No
     2423/ 88 .
                               D. Dumping
(8) In establishing the normal value , the Commission had to take
    account of the fact that neither the People 's Republic of China
    nor the Soviet Union have a market economy and that , therefore , in
    accordance with Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 , normal value should
    be determined with reference to prices or costs of a producer or
    producers in a market economy country . In this connection the
    Commission based its calculation of normal value an the domestic
    market prices of the like product in the United States and set out
    its reasons for so doing in recital 11 of Regulation (EEC) No
    707/89 .
    One importer contested the calculation of the normal value
    alleging that the prices used by the Commission were based on
    inter-company transactions by the US producer and that , as a
    result , the US producer had made excessive profits . To support
    this claim , the importer produced statistics for US consumption
    for the year 1983 and suggested , therefore , that normal value
    should be determined on the basis of constructed value , as per
    Article 2(5) (b) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 .
    The Commission has only taken sales transactions to independent
    end users into account for the period of the investigation , year
    1987 , to determine prices and , as pointed out in recital 11 of
    Regulation (EEC) 707/89 , the prices charged by the United States
 ---pagebreak---                                       - 5 -
       producer during the reference period allowed a reasonable tut not
       excessive profit . The Council therefore confirms the Commission 's
       provisional findings concerning the basis for determining the
       normal value .
(9) As regards the calculation of normal value , the Commissicn has
       only considered the United States sales prices of calcium crowns
       and pieces , requiring no distillation or major transformation of
       form by the producer , and determined a weighted average normal
       value .
( 10) Export prioes were determined on the basis of prices actually paid
       or payable for the Chinese or Soviet product sold for export to
       the Community .
( 11 ) In comparing normal value with export prices , the Commission took
       account , where appropriate , of differences affecting price
       comparability , including transport , insurance , handling , loading
       and anol.ll.1ary costs , commissions paid in respect of the sales
       under consideration , and credit terms . All comparisons were made
       on an ex-works basis .
       toe importer has claimed that an adjustment for physical
       characteristics should be made as the quality of the US'produced
       calcium is slightly lower than that of the Chinese and Soviet
       product . This request has not been accepted as the normal value
       in the United States market was determined by restricting the
       calculation to sales prices of calcium crowns and pieces ,
       requiring no distillation or major transformation , i.e. those
       products directly comparable to , and which compete directly with ,
       Chinese and Soviet products .
( 12) The comparison showed that Chinese and Soviet exports to the
       Community were being dumped during the reference period . Weighted
       average dumping margins , calculated as a percentage of the cif
       price of the product at the Community frontier , erdu&ing customs
       duties , are 21.8 % for the Chinese product and £2»0 % fOT "Coo
 ---pagebreak---         Soviet product . The Council confirms these definitive dumping
        margins .
                                    E. Injury
 ( 13) As regards the injury caused by the dumped imports , one importer
       has presented six arguments to contest the Commission 's
        conclusions as set out in Regulation (EEC) No 707/80 .
       The first argument is that year 1985 cannot serve as the reference
       year for examining injury as the Community production in year 1985
       is not in line with the trend for production seen in years 1981 to
       1983 .
       The argument cannot be accepted since the period to framing
       injury , the years from 1985 to 1987 , was chosen as these years
       corresponded to the most recent period to examine the evolution of
       imports into the Community . As regards the figures of production
       for this period , they have been verified by the Commission .
       References made by the importer to trends in the earlier years of
       1981 to 1983 are not therefore considered relevant .
( 14) The second argument is that the producer 's decision to invest in
       new capacity was not justified and was responsible for the fall in
       capacity utilisation .
       This claim is considered to be unfounded .   In recital 20 of
       Regulation (EEC) No 707/89 , the Commission had referred to
       investments made by the Community producer in 1985 and 1986 . The
       decision , however , to invest in new capacity , representing a 35%
       increase , was taken in 1984 when capacity utilisation was at a
       level of 92% and with the market in a period of expansion . In any
       case , the announcement to double capacity , to which the Importer
       is referring , was consequently suspended and has not taken place .
( 15) The third argument concerns a claim that the Community producer
      has suffered self-inflicted injury in refusing to supply calcium
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 7 -
       to the Importer , who has begun Court proceedings In one Matter
       State against the Community producer alleging abuse of dominant
      position.
      The Commission notes that the Community producer has denied these
      allegations and that no final Judgement has yet been reached in
      the Court proceedings in the Member State concerned .
      The Commission takes the view that the purpose of anti-dumping
      proceedings is not , and cannot be , to condone or encourage
      restrictive business practices , and that the initiation of such, a
      proceeding does not therefore deprive an enterprise of its right
      to initiate proceedings under Articles 85 or 86 of the Treaty , the
      outcome of which cannot be prejudiced by an anti-dumping
      investigation . Moreover , if and when an infringement of Articles
      85 and 86 is discovered and a decision has been made tinder Council
      Regulation No        , the Commission may review the present anti-
      dumping proceeding in accordance with Article 14(1 ) of
      Regulation (EEC) No 2423/88 .
( 16) The fourth argument is that the fall in sales price of the
      Community producer was not only due to competition from imported
      products but also due to a lack of competition in the absence of
      any other producers , coupled with poor management practices and
      large fixed costs of the Community producer . The importer
      requested that the Commission should recalculate the selling
      prices of the Community producer by deducting the level of its
      fixed costs .
      The request cannot be accepted since the Commission has
      established the actual selling prices in the marketplace based on
      the sales transactions to independent purchasers . In addition , it
      has been found that the fall in sales price has occurred during
      the period in which imports of Chinese axd Soviet calcium have
      increased in terms of both volume and market share . In any case ,
      fixed costs are not a factor to be deducted in determining the
      actual sales prices found in the marketplace . Under these
(4 ) CJ No 13 , 21.2.1962 , p. 204/62
 ---pagebreak---                                    - 8 -
      circumstances , there is no reason to recalculate the selling
      prices .
( 17) The fifth argument claims that other third country Imports have
      been responsible for any injury caused .
      The Commission , in its preliminary determination , has already
      examined whether the injury sustained by the Community producer
      was caused by factors other than the dumped imports . Concerning
      the level of imports from other third countries , these have
      declined by over 46 % during the period 1983 to 1987 with a
      reduction in market share . Additionally the price of other
      imports during the reference period was found to be higher than
      those of the Imported Chinese and Soviet product .
( 18) The sixth argument alleges that , prior to 1985 , it was the
      Community producer who practiced price undercutting and has forced
      the Chinese and Soviet exporters to follow its prices . This
      allegation was also made by the Chinese exporter .
      The Commission , in its preliminary conclusions , had established
      price undercutting by the Chinese and Soviet exporters during the
      reference period . A recalculation of the undercutting figures ,
      based on weighted average CIF export prices , shows price
      undercutting of 6.5% for the Chinese imported product and 9.8% for
      the Soviet imported product , i.e. figures lower than provisionally
      established ( 10.7% and 11.2% respectively). The argument as to
      who started the price undercutting , prior to 1985 , is now
      considered difficult , if not impossible , to determine and in any
      case , whether the exporters concerned initially intended only to
      align their prices to those of the Community producer is not
      considered relevant to the issue of price undercutting during the
      period in which injury had been examined . The recalculation of
      price undercutting has confirmed that there is evidence that
      dumped Chinese and Soviet exports have undercut the prices of the
      Community producer .
 ---pagebreak---                                     - 9 -
( 19) None of the above arguments put forward by the importer calls into
       question the conclusions as regards the injury to the Community
       industry which the Commission reached in its preliminary
       conclusions , recitals 16 to 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 707/89 .
      Consequently , the Council confirms these conclusions .
                            F. CcraamLty interest
(20) One importer has also disputed the Commission 's preliminary
      conclusions concerning Community Interest . Firstly , it is claimed
      that calcium is no longer used in the production of uranium and
      therefore there is no strategic reason for maintaining calcium
      production in the Community .
      This claim , referring to the use of calcium in the production of
      uranium , has already been examined in recital 4 above .    Even
      without this particular use , the Commission , however , still
      considers that , in the absence of any protection against the
      injurious effects of the dumped Chinese and Soviet imports , the
      viability of the sole Community producer would he jeopardised and
      the Community would then he entirely dependent on outside sources
      of calcium for use in the metallurgical industry .
(21 ) Secondly , the importer , who also transforms the product , has
      alleged that the Impact of a duty would significantly increase its
      costs and threaten its viability to continue in business .
      The Commission is unable to accept this claim . An examination of
      the submission made by the importer shows that the importer has
      based its claim on a calculation incorporating , not only the
      expected duty Increase but also , other increases in product costs
      and changes in currency rates in the period 1988/89 . The
      Commission , in examining the impact of the duty on imports of
      calcium , has necessarily to base its examination on the facts
      established in the investigation period . This shows that the
      proposed measures would have the effect of a limited increase in
      the total costs of a company which transforms the product and an
 ---pagebreak---                                    - 10 -
     Insignificant Increase for the Community end users of calcium .
(22) Fi nally , the importer has claimed that it is in the interest of
     the Community to pursue developments in the industrial sector of
     new types of magnets , to which the importer as a transformer of
     oalcium is a leading contributor through the use of imported
     Chinese and Soviet oalcium .
     The claim has already been examined , recital 5 above , and had to
     be rejected as Chinese and Soviet imported products are considered
     as like products to the Community produced oalcium . Additionally ,
     as discussed in recital 21 above , the limited impact of definitive
     anti-dumping duties , on the total costs of a company which
     transforms calcium , is not considered to be an economic deterrent
     to pursuing these developments .
(23) No Community end users have either requested a hearing or cade any
     written submission after the imposition of provisional measures .
     Taking into account the considerations set out above , the Council
     has come to the conclusion that it is in the Community 's interest
     that action be taken and that protection of the Community 's
     interest calls for the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping
     duty on imports of calcium originating in the People 's Republic of
     China and the Soviet Union .
(24) One independent importer has also requested a special exemption in
     the event that a decision would be taken to impose definitive
     duties . The Council is unable to grant such a request from an
     independent importer , when it is dear that it is in the
     Community 's interest that action be taken to prevent the injurious
     effect of dumped Chinese and Soviet imports and since this
     objective would be annuled if such an exemption were to be made
     and which would also be difficult to defend on the grounds of
     equality of treatment of all importers .

                             G. Definitive duty
 (25) The Commission has re-examined the purchase prices of the
      Community importers with the selling prioe necessary to provide an
      adequate profit (5% margin on the sales prioe) for the Community
      producer , the injury threshold . Taking into account the
      conclusions reached concerning injury , that there has been prioe
      undercutting and that the Community producer has suffered
      considerable financial losses in selling below its cost of
      production , the Commission has concluded that definitive anti-
      dumping duties should be imposed against imports of calcium
      originating in the People 's Republic of China and the Soviet Union
      higher than the amount of the provisional anti-dumping duties and
      equivalent to the definitive dumping margins found , which axe
      below the injury threshold . The Council confirms this conclusion .
(26) The Council considers that , to ensure the effectiveness of the
      protective measures and to facilitate customs clearance , the
      definitive duty should take the form of an ad valorem duty .
                   E. Collection of the provisional duty
(27) The amounts secured by way of provisional anti-dumping duty should
      therefore be collected in their entirety .
