Det konkluderedes, at der er sandsynlighed for en fortsættelse af den skadevoldende dumping.
It has been found that there is a likelihood of continuation of injurious dumping.
Det overvejedes også i undersøgelsen, om opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne er i modstrid med overordnede interesser, ligesom det blev taget i betragtning, hvilke virkninger tolden tidligere har haft på de forskellige involverede interesser.
The investigation also considered whether or not there are any overriding interests against maintaining the measures and also took account of the past effects of duties on all the various interests involved.
I den oprindelige undersøgelse blev det fastslået, at det ikke var i strid med Fællesskabets interesser at indføre foranstaltninger.
It should be recalled that, in the original investigation, the adoption of measures was not considered to be against the interest of the Community.
Da denne undersøgelse iværksættes på grund af foranstaltningernes forestående udløb, skal den desuden også vise, hvilke virkninger de eksisterende foranstaltninger har for navnlig brugerne, forbrugerne og importørerne/forarbejdningsvirksomhederne.
Since this is also an expiry review investigation, the impact of the existing measures, in particular on users, consumers and importers/formulators was also examined.
EF-erhvervenes interesser
Interest of the Community industry
Glyphosat med oprindelse i Kina udbydes stadig til cif-priser, der ligger under fællesskabsproducenternes sædvanlige salgspriser.
Glyphosate originating in the PRC is still offered at cif values below the current sales prices of the Community producers.
Derfor vil foranstaltningernes ophævelse enten føre til, at glyphosat med oprindelse i Kina vinder markedsandele på Fællesskabets marked på fællesskabsproducenternes bekostning, eller alternativt til, at fællesskabserhvervet må sænke sine allerede faldende salgspriser endnu mere for at fastholde sin markedsandel og kapacitetsudnyttelse.
Therefore, the expiry of measures would lead either to glyphosate originating in the PRC gaining market share on the Community market to the detriment of the Community producers, or alternatively the Community industry would have to lower their already declining sales prices even further in order to maintain market share and capacity utilisation.
Ved begge scenarier vil fællesskabserhvervet lide tab som følge af foranstaltningernes udløb.
In both scenarios the Community industry would suffer losses due to an expiry of measures.
Ifølge fællesskabsproducenterne skulle foranstaltningerne enten være blevet absorberet af Kina eller omgået i størstedelen af analyseperioden og derved have haft en begrænset afhjælpende virkning.
The Community producers claimed that the measures had been either absorbed by the PRC or circumvented for most of the analysis period, thereby resulting in them having a limited remedial effect.
Absorption og omgåelse via Malaysia og Taiwan er blevet bekræftet og taget op i de fornyede undersøgelser, der omtales i betragtning 1.
The absorption and circumvention via Malaysia and Taiwan have been confirmed and addressed by the review investigations mentioned in recital 1.
Adskillige leverandører af råvarer og tjenester har påpeget, at de forventer et fald i fællesskabsproduktionen og nedsat efterspørgsel efter deres råvarer og tjenester, hvis foranstaltningerne udløber.
Several suppliers of raw materials and services came forward and stated that they expect a reduced Community production if measures were to expire, and therefore a reduced demand for their raw materials and services.
På denne baggrund konkluderes det, at fællesskabserhvervets situation vil blive forværret på grund af øget import til dumpingpriser fra Kina, der vil føre til stadig større tab, hvis der ikke er iværksat antidumpingforanstaltninger for import af det pågældende produkt fra Kina.
In view of the above, it is considered that, in the absence of anti-dumping measures on imports of the product concerned from the PRC, the situation of the Community industry would worsen through increased imports at dumped prices from the PRC leading to increased financial losses.
Selv om importen fra Kina er faldet i den analyserede periode, må det fremhæves, at glyphosat kan betragtes som en råvare.
While imports from the PRC have dropped during the period analysed, it must be stressed that glyphosate can be considered as a commodity.
Derfor kan selv en beskeden import til dumpingpriser have skadelig virkning på fællesskabserhvervet.
In these circumstances, even a low level of imports at dumped prices can have a detrimental impact on the Community industry.
Fællesskabserhvervet har øget produktionen, salget og markedsandelen i den analyserede periode, men dette er sket på bekostning af indtjeningen.
The Community industry has increased production, sales volumes and market share over the period analysed but at the expense of profits.
Erhvervets grundlæggende levedygtighed vil blive truet, hvis der ikke findes foranstaltninger til hindring af skadelig dumping.
The essential viability of the industry would be threatened in the absence of measures to eliminate the injurious dumping.
Ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importørers/forarbejdningsvirksomheders interesser
Interest of unrelated importers/formulators
Da størstedelen af glyphosatimporten med oprindelse i Kina til Fællesskabet er i form af syre eller salt, der videresælges i forarbejdet form, er forarbejdningsindustrien berørt af denne sag.
Since the major part of glyphosate imports originating in the PRC into the Community is in the form of acid or salt and is resold in a formulated form, the formulating industry is therefore concerned by this proceeding.
Visse af disse importører har anført, at de, selv om de i øjeblikket kun importerer minimale mængder glyphosat fra Kina, vil genoptage importen derfra, hvis der ikke findes foranstaltninger.
Certain of these importers indicated that, while currently only importing minimal quantities of glyphosate from the PRC, they would recommence imports from the PRC in the absence of measures.
Kun en importør/forarbejdningsvirksomhed samarbejdede fuldstændigt med Kommissionen.
One importer/formulator fully cooperated with the Commission.
Denne virksomhed går i sit indlæg imod foranstaltninger, fordi enhver forhøjelse af prisen på dens vigtigste råvare vil mindske dens fortjenstmargen på forarbejdet glyphosat.
It presented a submission in which it stated its position against measures because any increase in the price of the main input would reduce its profit margin on formulated glyphosate.
Et antal forarbejdningsvirksomheder, der i øjeblikket ikke importerer glyphosatsyre med oprindelse i Kina på grund af de gældende foranstaltninger, har anført, at de vil genoptage importen fra Kina, hvis foranstaltningerne ophører.
A number of formulators who are currently not importing glyphosate acid originating in the PRC as a result of the existing measures stated that they would recommence sourcing the product from the PRC should measures expire.
Da undersøgelsen viste, at de fleste importører/forarbejdningsvirksomheder forarbejder et udvalg af andre produkter end glyphosat, konkluderes det, at foranstaltningernes virkning på disse virksomheders samlede aktiviteter ville blive begrænset, men at foranstaltningerne ville føre til en begrænsning af faldet i priserne for glyphosatsyre.
As it was found that most of the importers/formulators deal with a range of products other than glyphosate, it is considered that, even if measures would have the effect of limiting a decrease in glyphosate acid prices, the impact of the measures on the overall business of these companies would be limited.
Importørerne/forarbejdningsvirksomhederne forventer, at en ophævelse af foranstaltningerne vil føre til lavere priser på deres glyphosat på Fællesskabets marked, hvilket vil sætte dem i stand til at øge deres markedsandel på fællesskabsproducenternes bekostning.
Importers/formulators expect that lifting the measures would lead to lower prices for their glyphosate on the Community market, allowing them to expand their market share at the expense of the Community producers.
De økonomiske fordele herved ville imidlertid blive begrænsede, fordi importørerne/forarbejdningsvirksomhederne ville blive tvunget til at lade deres kunder nyde godt af størstedelen af deres faldende omkostninger på grund af konkurrencen fra andre forarbejdningsvirksomheder, der også importerer glyphosat med oprindelse i Kina.
However, the financial benefit from this would be limited, since the importers/formulators would be forced to pass on the bulk of their decrease in cost to their customers due to competition from other formulators also importing glyphosate originating in the PRC.
Desuden forventes importørerne/forarbejdningsvirksomhederne ikke at få fordel af dumpingpriserne, fordi de skaber skævheder i forhold til andre konkurrenter, nemlig fællesskabserhvervet.
Moreover, the importers/formulators should not obtain advantage through dumping since this creates an imbalance vis-à-vis the other competitors, namely the Community industry.
Af ovennævnte grunde konkluderes det, at fordelene for fællesskabserhvervet som følge af opretholdelsen af foranstaltningerne vil opveje alle eventuelle marginale negative virkninger for de berørte importører/forarbejdningsvirksomheder.
For the abovementioned reasons, it is considered that the benefits afforded to the Community industry resulting from maintaining the measures would outweigh any marginal negative impact that may result for the importers/formulators concerned.
Distributørernes og forbrugernes interesser
Interests of distributors and consumers
Kommissionen har modtaget et indlæg fra en sammenslutning, der repræsenterer distributører og brugere af agrokemiske produkter i EU.
The Commission received a submission by an association representing distributors and users of agrochemicals in the EU.
Denne sammenslutning har fremsat en række bemærkninger vedrørende fællesskabsproducenternes adfærd på Fællesskabets marked, der er til ugunst for de uafhængige distributører af agrokemiske produkter.
This association put forward a number of allegations concerning the behaviour of the Community producers on the Community market to the detriment of independent distributors of agrochemicals.
Denne sammenslutning og en importør/forarbejdningsvirksomhed anførte, at fællesskabsmarkedet er stærkt beskyttet mod import ved hjælp af forskellige lovgivningsmæssige hindringer, bl.a. Rådets direktiv 91/414/EØF af 15. juli 1991 om markedsføring af plantebeskyttelsesmidler [8], hvilket gør det unødvendigt, at foranstaltningerne opretholdes.
This association and an importer/formulator claimed that the Community market is heavily protected against imports through regulatory barriers, namely Council Directive 91/414/EC of 15 July 1991 concerning the placing of plant protection products on the market [8], therefore making it unnecessary for measures to remain in place.
Sammenslutningen gentog denne påstand efter fremlæggelsen af resultaterne.
This claim was repeated by the association following disclosure of the findings.
Det skal bemærkes, at nævnte direktiv ikke vedrører forsvar af handel, men spørgsmål om miljøsikkerhed.
It has to be noted that this Directive does not relate to trade defence, but rather to environmental safety issues.
Ikke desto mindre argumenteredes det, at det både er kostbart og tidskrævende at fremskaffe den information, der er nødvendig til registrering af glyphosat, og at dette betyder, at importører/forarbejdningsvirksomheder afskrækkes fra at importere glyphosat fra tredjelande.
It was nevertheless argued that obtaining the necessary information for registration of glyphosate is both costly and time consuming and acts as a deterrent for importers/formulators to import glyphosate from third countries.
Dette synes imidlertid ikke i praksis at være en alvorlig hindring, da det er lykkedes et antal importører/forarbejdningsvirksomheder at opnå registrering i henhold til direktiv 91/414/EØF.
However, in practice this does not appear to be a severe limitation since a number of importers/formulators have succeeded in obtaining registration under Directive 91/414/EC.
Den samarbejdende importør/forarbejdningsvirksomhed anførte desuden, at den ville importere glyphosat med oprindelse i Kina, hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves.
Furthermore, the cooperating importer/formulator stated that they would import glyphosate originating in the PRC should measures be lifted.
Direktiv 91/414/EØF anses derfor ikke for at lukke Fællesskabets marked for import af glyphosat fra Kina.
Therefore, it is considered that Directive 91/414/EC does not close the Community market to imports of glyphosate from the PRC.
Sammenslutningen fremførte desuden, at de lave priser på »generiske« standardblandinger baseret på syre eller salt og fremstillet af en bestemt fællesskabsproducent opvejes af de høje priser på de tilsvarende mærkevareprodukter, der sælges af samme producent.
The association further claimed that low prices of ‘generic’ standard formulated products produced by formulators based on acid or salt manufactured by a certain Community producer are compensated by high prices of ‘branded’ equivalent products sold by the same producer.
Det blev anført, at disse generiske produkter til lave priser ville afholde andre producenter fra at søge adgang til Fællesskabets marked, herunder importører af glyphosat med oprindelse i Kina.
It was claimed that these low priced ‘generic’ products would act as a deterrent toward the entry of other manufactures, including imports of glyphosate originating in the PRC, to the Community market.
Det er ganske vist blevet bekræftet, at forarbejdningsvirksomhederne køber syre/salt fra denne fællesskabsproducent til lave priser, men denne kan samtidig ikke siges at kunne opnå høje priser for sine forarbejdede produkter.
While it was confirmed that formulators purchase acid and/or salt from this Community producer at low prices, it could not be said that the Community producer was in a position to achieve high prices on its formulated products.
Som anført i betragtning 75 har fællesskabsproducenterne, herunder den pågældende producent, solgt deres standardprodukter (der er mærkevarer) med tab i analyseperioden, hvilket gør påstanden om, at de skulle kunne opnå høje priser for deres »mærkevarer«, usandsynlig.
As stated in recital 75, Community producers, including the producer concerned, were selling their standard formulated products (which are branded products) at a loss during the analysis period, which makes the claim that they would be in a position to obtain high prices on their ‘brand’ products implausible.
Sammenslutningen fremførte ligeledes, at to fællesskabsproducenter driver et kartel i Fællesskabet, fordi en af dem synes at begrænse sin markedsandel i Fællesskabet, selv om de kunne levere til en større del af fællesskabsmarkedet.
This association also claimed that two Community producers operate a cartel in the Community because one of them appears to limit its market share in the Community while they could supply a much larger share of the Community market.
Det skal i den henseende bemærkes, at der ikke blev fremlagt afgørende beviser for denne påstand, da andre faktorer end en karteldannelse kan spille en rolle for fællesskabsproducentens påståede begrænsning af sin markedsandel.
In this regard, it should be noted that evidence presented in support of the claim was not conclusive, since factors other than the existence of a cartel could explain the alleged limitation of the market share by the Community producer.
For det første skal det påpeges, at ikke blot den pågældende producents markedsandel, men også andre producenters markedsandel ikke ændrede sig væsentligt i analyseperioden.
First of all, it has to be pointed out that the market share of not only the producer in question but also of other producers did not vary substantially over the analysis period.
For det andet kunne salget på eksportmarkederne foregå til højere priser, og den kendsgerning, at selskabet ikke solgte mere i Fællesskabet, set i forhold til uden for dette, kunne dermed muligvis have andre årsager, f.eks. selskabets egen indsats for at maksimere indtjeningen på eksportmarkederne, der var mere lønsomme end fællesskabsmarkedet.
Secondly, sales on export markets could be made at higher prices, and hence the fact that the company did not sell more in the Community as opposed to outside of it could possibly be explained by other factors such as, for example, the company's own efforts to maximise returns on export markets which were more profitable than the Community market.
Desuden er fællesskabserhvervets produktion betydeligt større end forbruget i Fællesskabet, og det er derfor økonomisk set vigtigt for alle fællesskabsproducenter at eksportere glyphosat til tredjelande for at opnå en høj kapacitetsudnyttelse, så de faste omkostninger fuldt ud kan absorberes.
Furthermore, the production of the Community industry is significantly larger than consumption in the Community and, therefore, it is important economically for all Community manufacturers to export glyphosate to third countries in order to achieve high capacity utilisation in order to fully absorb their fixed costs.
På den baggrund er der i øjeblikket ikke tilstrækkelige beviser til at konkludere, at der eksisterer et kartel, som resulterer i, at de mængder, der leveres til fællesskabsmarkedet, bevidst begrænses til skade for forbrugerne.
In this context, there is at present insufficient evidence to conclude that a cartel exists, involving the deliberate limitation of quantities supplied to the Community market to the detriment of consumers.
Endelig er spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt der eventuelt eksisterer et kartel, et spørgsmål, der snarere bør behandles inden for en antitrustundersøgelse.
Finally, the question of the existence or not of any cartel is a matter which should rather be addressed in the context of an anti-trust investigation.
Kommissionen har imidlertid til dato ikke indledt nogen antitrustprocedure vedrørende dette spørgsmål.
However, no anti-trust procedure has been initiated, to date, by the Commission on this matter.
På den anden side var der intet bevis på, at videreførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne skulle have negative virkninger for glyphosatdistributørerne.
On the other hand, there was no indication concerning possible negative effects of the continuation of the anti-dumping measures as regards the glyphosate distributors.
Forbrugerne af produktet er i det væsentlige landbrugere.
As regards the consumers of the product, these are essentially farmers.
Et prisfald på glyphosat ville have minimal virkning på deres rentabilitet, fordi produktet kun er en forholdsvis lille post i de samlede omkostninger til dyrkning af afgrøder.
A reduction in the price of glyphosate would have a minimal effect on their profitability since this is only a relatively minor item in the overall cost of crop growing.
Det er blevet påvist, at det vil betyde en forbedring af landbrugernes fortjenstmargen på ca. 0,1 %, hvis foranstaltningerne ophævedes.
It was established that the expiry of the measures would lead to an improvement in the profit margin of farmers which would be of the order of 0,1 %.
Af disse grunde konkluderes det, at fordelene for fællesskabserhvervet af, at foranstaltningerne opretholdes, vil være større end de eventuelle negative virkninger for distributørerne og forbrugerne.
For the abovementioned reasons, it is considered that any benefits afforded to the Community industry resulting from maintaining the measures would outweigh any marginal negative impact that may result for the distributors and consumers concerned.
Konklusion
Conclusion on Community interest
Udløber de gældende foranstaltninger, forventes fællesskabserhvervet at ville lide betydelige tab på grund af prisfaldet på fællesskabsmarkedet, der enten ville føre til tab af markedsandele for fællesskabsproducenterne som følge af den øgede import med oprindelse i Kina eller til yderligere nedsættelse af deres salgspriser, hvis de forsøger at opretholde deres markedsandel.
Should the existing measures expire, it is expected that the Community industry would suffer significant losses due to price depression on the Community market, which would either lead to a loss of market share against increased imports originating in the PRC or a further deterioration of their sales prices should they attempt to maintain their market share.
Importørerne/forarbejdningsvirksomhederne kunne vinde markedsandele på grund af de billigere leverancer af glyphosat med oprindelse i Kina, men i forhold til fællesskabserhvervets tab vil den økonomiske virkning af dette for importørerne/forarbejdningsvirksomhederne være af mindre omfang i betragtning af, at de måtte lade deres kunder få fordel af disse prisfald.
Importers/formulators could benefit from an increasing market share due to cheaper supply of glyphosate originating in the PRC, but, compared to the losses incurred by the Community industry, the economic effect of this for importers/formulators would be minor in view of the need to pass on price reductions to their clients.
Der har ikke været påvist negative virkninger for glyphosatdistributørerne af, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne videreføres.
There was no indication concerning possible negative effects of the continuation of the anti-dumping measures as regards the glyphosate distributors.
Selv om brugerne eventuelt kan have fordel af de noget lavere priser som følge af, at foranstaltningerne fjernes, vil dette ikke få nogen væsentlig virkning på deres fortjenstmargen eller på deres aktivitet.
For users, although these might benefit somewhat from lower prices if measures were removed, this would not have a significant effect on their profit margin or, consequently, on their activity.
Efter en afvejning af de forskellige involverede parters interesser konkluderer Kommissionen, at der ikke er nogen tvingende grunde, der vedrører Fællesskabets interesse, til ikke at videreføre foranstaltningerne.
After weighing the interests of the various parties involved, the Commission concludes that there are no compelling reasons of Community interest against the continuation of measures.
FORESLÅET TOLD
PROPOSED DUTIES
Glyphosatsyre var den produkttype, der brugtes som reference til at afgøre toldsatsen, fordi den er grundlaget for alle former for glyphosat, der eksporteres fra Kina og produceres i Fællesskabet.
The product type used as a reference to determine the duty rate was glyphosate acid because it is the common base of all forms of glyphosate exported from the PRC and produced in the Community.
Syren tegner sig for 55 % af fremstillingsomkostningerne for den tilsvarende mængde 360-standardprodukt.
It was found that acid accounts for 55 % of the manufacturing costs of the equivalent quantity of standard 360 formulated product.
Desuden repræsenterede syreformen over 90 % af importmængden fra Kina i undersøgelsesperioden.
Moreover, the acid form represented more than 90 % of the volume imported from the PRC during the investigation period.
Derfor betragtes en told fastsat på grundlag af data vedrørende glyphosatsyre som repræsentativ for alle former for glyphosat importeret fra Kina.
It is therefore considered that a duty established on the basis of data concerning glyphosate acid would be representative of all different forms of glyphosate imported from the PRC.
Til beregningen af den prisstigning, der er nødvendig for at fjerne de skadelige dumpingvirkninger, blev det anset for hensigtsmæssigt at sammenligne priserne for importen til dumpingpriser med fællesskabserhvervets omkostninger ved produktionen af glyphosatsyre med tillæg af et så stort beløb, at der opnås en rimelig fortjeneste.
For the purposes of calculating the price increase necessary in order to remove the injurious effects of dumping, it was considered appropriate to compare the prices of the dumped imports with the production costs of glyphosate acid of the Community industry increased by an amount sufficient to achieve a reasonable level of profit.
