Som vigtigere skal det erindres, at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, ikke udelukkende er baseret på prisernes størrelse, men er kendetegnet ved en negativ udvikling i en række indikatorer.
More importantly, it is recalled that the injury suffered by the Community industry is not exclusively based on price levels, but is characterised by a deterioration of a combination of various indicators.
Derfor vil eventuelle prisstigninger, selv af ekstraordinær og vedvarende art, ikke isoleret set gøre en indførelse af foranstaltninger urimelig, hvis de ikke er ledsaget af en tilsvarende udvikling i andre skadesindikatorer, således at det samlede skadesbillede bliver påvirket.
Therefore, any possible price increases, even if they were of an exceptional and lasting nature, would not, taken in isolation, make the imposition of measures inappropriate, if they were not accompanied by similar developments of other injury indicators in such a way that the complete injury picture were affected.
Kommissionen finder derfor, at den prisstigning, som EF-erhvervsgrenen kan have foretaget efter undersøgelsesperioden, ikke gør en indførelse af foranstaltninger urimelig.
For the above reasons, it is considered that the Community industry price increase that might have occurred after the investigation period does not make the imposition of measures inappropriate.
Lukning af en producent i EF-erhvervsgrenen
Closure of one producer of the Community industry
Visse interesserede parter fremførte, at lukningen af en af de producenter, der tilhører EF-erhvervsgrenen, betyder, at der ikke bør indføres foranstaltninger, da lukningen vil føre til en betydelig reduktion af produktionskapaciteten i Fællesskabet og derved muligvis skabe mangel på kornorienterede elektriske plader på fællesskabsmarkedet.
Certain interested parties claimed that the closure of one of the producers that is part of the Community industry calls for the non imposition of measures since it would result in a significant decrease of the production capacity in the Community, thus possibly generating a shortage of GOES on the Community market.
I denne forbindelse bemærkes det, at grundforordningens artikel 6, stk. 1, om begivenheder efter undersøgelsesperioden ikke gælder for fastsættelsen af Fællesskabets interesser, der behandles af grundforordningens artikel 21.
In that respect, it is noted that Article 6(1) of the basic Regulation concerning events occurring after the investigation period does not apply to the determination of the Community interest which is dealt with by Article 21 of the basic Regulation.
Der henvises derfor til betragtning (174), hvor spørgsmålet om produktionskapaciteten behandles i forbindelse med analysen af Fællesskabets interesser.
Reference is therefore made to recital (174) where the issue related to production capacity is addressed in the framework of the Community interest analysis.
Det skal ikke desto mindre bekræftes, at der er givet meddelelse om lukning af et produktionsanlæg i Italien, idet produktionen vil fortsætte i begrænset omfang fra juni 2005 med en forventet endelig lukning i september samme år.
It should nevertheless be confirmed that the plant closure of the producer located in Italy has been announced, and that production there will continue at reduced level as from June 2005 and is expected to completely cease in September of the same year.
Selv om den påtænkte lukning af et produktionsanlæg kan udgøre en ekstraordinær begivenhed og derfor blev taget i betragtning i forbindelse med analysen, vil det endvidere kun styrke ovennævnte konklusion om, at EF-erhvervsgrenen led skade i undersøgelsesperioden, og at denne usikre situation fortsatte efter undersøgelsesperioden.
Moreover, even if the envisaged closure of a plant might constitute an exceptional event, of a lasting nature, and were therefore considered in the context of the analysis, it would only reinforce the above findings that the Community industry was suffering injury during the investigation period, and that this precarious situation continued after the investigation period.
Trods de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger mod importen af store kornorienterede elektriske plader fra Rusland blev EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation alvorligt forværret mellem 2000 og undersøgelsesperioden.
In spite of the existing anti-dumping measures concerning imports of large GOES from Russia, the economic situation of the Community industry significantly deteriorated between 2000 and the IP.
De positive virkninger af foranstaltningerne mod store kornorienterede elektriske plader fra Rusland er blevet undergravet af, at der er begyndt at forekomme dumpingimport af sådanne plader af alle bredder fra Rusland og USA.
The positive impact of the measures imposed on large GOES from Russia has indeed been diluted by the emergence of the dumped imports of all widths of GOES from Russia and the USA.
Denne import var af væsentlig mindre betydning ved begyndelsen af den betragtede periode.
Those imports were significantly less important at the beginning of the period under examination.
Desuden henvises der også til betragtning (17), hvor det er forklaret, at de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger mod store kornorienterede elektriske plader fra Rusland blev undgået ved at opskære bredbånd af kornorienteret elektrisk stål i bredder, der ikke oversteg 500 mm.
In addition, reference is also made to the recital (17), where it is explained that the anti-dumping measures in force against large GOES from Russia were avoided by cutting the coils of grain-oriented electrical steel in two halves not exceeding 500 mm.
I løbet af den betragtede periode faldt salgsmængden med 19 %, produktionen faldt med 2 %, lagerbeholdningerne steg betydeligt med 18 % og markedsandelen faldt med 8 procentpoint.
Over this period under examination sales volume decreased by 19 %, production decreased by 2 %, stocks significantly increased by 18 %, and market shares dropped by 8 percentage points.
EF-producenternes priser på fællesskabsmarkedet blev underbudt af dumpingimporten og kunne ikke hæves for at afspejle de stigende produktionsomkostninger i undersøgelsesperioden.
Community producers' prices on the Community market were undercut by dumped imports and could not be increased to reflect the increased cost of production during the IP.
Som resultat havde erhvervsgrenen tab i 2003 og i undersøgelsesperioden.
As a result, the industry made losses in 2003 and in the IP.
Beskæftigelsen og investeringerne faldt med henholdsvis 5 % og 50 % i den betragtede periode.
Employment and investments respectively decreased by 5 % and 50 % over the period under examination.
I denne periode kunne EF-erhvervsgrenen også øge salgsmængden i samme omfang som forbruget og salgspriserne.
During this period, the Community industry could also raise its sales volumes to the same extent as the increases in consumption and sales prices.
Dette førte til en rentabel situation, og erhvervsgrenen kunne derfor foretage investeringer og i begrænset omfang øge sin produktionskapacitet.
This resulted in a profitable situation and the industry was therefore in a position to invest and slightly increase its production capacity.
Selv om salget og markedsandelen faldt i 2002, lykkedes det EF-erhvervsgrenen at bevare sit prisniveau og forblive rentabel, om end på lavere niveau end i 2001, også i betragtning af de stigende produktionsomkostninger på daværende tidspunkt.
Even if sales volume and market shares dropped in 2002, the Community industry managed to maintain its price level, and to remain profitable, albeit at a level below that of 2001 in view also of the increasing cost of production at that time.
Fra 2003 kunne EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke længere fastholde sine priser, der faldt betydeligt, sammenholdt med et kraftigt fald i salgsmængde og markedsandel.
As from 2003, the Community industry could no longer maintain its prices, which significantly dropped, in conjunction with a strong fall in sales volume and market shares.
Priserne faldt yderligere i undersøgelsesperioden, mens omkostningerne var forholdsvis stabile.
Prices further decreased during the IP, while costs remained relatively stable.
Rentabiliteten nåede derfor et kritisk lavpunkt.
As a consequence, profitability reached a dramatically low level.
Med tab på dette niveau er erhvervsgrenens fremtidige eksistens i fare.
At this level of losses, the further existence of the industry is at risk.
Efter undersøgelsesperioden vil et produktionsanlæg tilhørende en producent i Fællesskabet faktisk skulle lukke.
Indeed, after the investigation period, the production plant of one of the Community producers will have to close down.
I betragtning af ovenstående konkluderes det, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. artikel 3 i grundforordningen.
In the light of the foregoing it is concluded that the Community industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3 of the basic Regulation.
I henhold til artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, i grundforordningen undersøgte Kommissionen, om dumpingimporten af den pågældende vare med oprindelse i de pågældende lande har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade i et omfang, der kan betegnes som væsentligt.
In accordance with Articles 3(6) and 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the countries concerned have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
Andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, der samtidig kunne have tilføjet EF-erhvervsgrenen skade, blev også undersøgt for at sikre, at en eventuel skade forårsaget af disse andre faktorer ikke blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time be injuring the Community industry, were also examined in order to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Dumpingimportens følgevirkninger
Effects of the dumped imports
Den betydelige vækst i dumpingimporten, der mere end tredobledes i den betragtede periode, faldt sammen med forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation, der bl.a. gav sig udtryk i et fald i salgsmængden på omkring 20 % i samme periode.
The significant increase of the volume of the dumped imports, which more than tripled during the period under examination, coincided with the deterioration of the economic situation of the Community industry, which materialised amongst others by a drop in sales volume of around 20 % during the same period.
Da de gældende foranstaltninger kun vedrører store kornorienterede elektriske plader fra Rusland, kunne de ikke i tilstrækkelig grad beskytte EF-erhvervsgrenen mod virkningerne af den pågældende import.
Since they only concern large GOES from Russia, the existing measures could not sufficiently shield the Community industry from the effect of the imports concerned.
Dette er navnlig tilfældet, når der tages hensyn til ovennævnte betydelige stigning i importen af kornorienterede elektriske plader af alle bredder, og således også plader med oprindelse i USA, samt det forhold, at foranstaltninger mod store kornorienterede elektriske plader undertiden blev undgået ved opskæring af pladerne, jf. betragtning (17).
This is especially true when considering the above mentioned significant increase of imports of all widths of GOES, thus also including those originating in the USA, and the fact that measures on large GOES were sometimes avoided by cutting the sheets, as explained in recital (17).
De negative virkninger af den stadigt stigende mængde dumpingimport blev yderligere forværret fra 2002, hvor forbruget i Fællesskabet faldt.
The negative effect of the continuously increasing volume of dumped imports was even reinforced as from the year 2002, when Community consumption decreased.
I perioden 2002/2003 vandt dumpingimporten faktisk markedsandele med mere end 5 procentpoint, mens EF-erhvervsgrenens andel faldt med omkring 7 point.
As a matter of fact, in the period 2002/2003, the dumped imports gained more than 5 percentage points of market shares, while the Community industry's share dropped by around 7 points.
Denne pludselige vækst i dumpingimporten kan forklares ved et kraftigt fald i de tilsvarende priser i samme periode.
This sudden surge of dumped imports is explained by a dramatic decrease of the corresponding prices during the same period.
På kun et år faldt priserne faktisk fra 1282 til 1049 EUR pr. ton, dvs. med omkring 15 %.
Indeed, in only one year, prices decreased from 1282 to 1049 EUR/tonne, i.e. a decrease of around 15 %.
Dette førte til et betydeligt fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde i samme periode.
This resulted in an important drop in the Community industry's sales volume during the corresponding period.
Selv om EF-erhvervsgrenen til at begynde med forsøgte at fastholde sit gennemsnitlige prisniveau, faldt priserne ikke desto mindre fra 1254 EUR pr. ton i 2002 til 1189 EUR pr. ton i 2003.
While the Community industry first tried to maintain its average price level, prices nevertheless decreased from 1254 EUR/t in 2002 to 1189 EUR/t in 2003.
Derefter havde erhvervsgrenen intet andet valg end at sænke priserne yderligere for at bevare salg og markedsandel i undersøgelsesperioden.
Thereafter the industry had no choice but to further decrease its prices in order to maintain sales volume and market shares during the IP.
Dette havde imidlertid en direkte negativ indvirkning på dens rentabilitet, der blev negativ og nåede –7,4 % af omsætningen i undersøgelsesperioden.
This had however a direct negative impact on its profitability which became negative and reached –7,4 % of turnover during the IP.
I betragtning af det klart dokumenterede sammenfald i tid mellem på den ene side væksten i dumpingimporten til konstant faldende priser og på den anden side EF-erhvervsgrenens tab af salgsmængde, markedsandel og pristryk, der førte til en tabsgivende situation, konkluderes det, at dumpingimporten spillede en afgørende rolle for den situation med skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen befinder sig i.
In view of the clearly established coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the surge of dumped imports at continuously decreasing prices and, on the other hand, the Community industry's loss of sales volume, market shares and price depression resulting in a loss-making situation, it is concluded that the dumped imports played a determining role in the injurious situation of the Community industry.
Virkning af valutakursen
Exchange rate effect
En interesseret part hævdede, at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt, var forvoldt af udviklingen i vekselkursen mellem dollaren og euroen, der medførte faldende priser på importen fra USA.
One interested party claimed that the injury suffered by the Community industry was caused by the development of the USD/EUR exchange rate, which had a decreasing impact on the prices of imports from the USA.
Denne situation begunstigede således importen fra USA, der kunne øge sin markedsandel.
This situation thus favoured the USA imports which were able to increase their market shares.
Nedenstående tabel sammenligner udviklingen i valutakursen mellem dollaren og euroen og de gennemsnitlige importpriser for den pågældende vare med oprindelse i USA.
The table below compares the development of the USD/EUR exchange rate with the average import prices of the product concerned originating in the US.
Importpris fra USA (EUR)
Import price US (EUR)
Det fremgår af ovenstående oplysninger, at der ikke er nogen klar sammenhæng mellem udviklingen i vekselkursen mellem dollaren og euroen og de gennemsnitlige importpriser for den pågældende vare med oprindelse i USA.
It appears from the above data that there is no clear correlation between the development of the USD/EUR exchange rate and the average import prices of the product concerned originating in the USA.
I perioden 2000-2002 faldt importpriserne faktisk allerede med 21 %, mens valutakurserne var stabile.
Indeed, during the period 2000-2002 import prices already decreased by 21 %, while exchange rates remained stable.
Ovennævnte tal viser endvidere klart, at faldet i de relevante gennemsnitlige importpriser (–42 %) var langt større end den negative kursudvikling (–21 %) i den betragtede periode.
Moreover, the above data clearly indicates that, over the period under examination, the decrease of the relevant average import prices (–42 %) was much stronger than the negative development of the exchange rate (–21 %).
Dette var især tilfældet i 2002/2003, hvor de gennemsnitlige enhedsimportpriser faldt mest.
This was especially the case in the period 2002/2003 when the unit average import prices showed its strongest decrease.
Det konkluderes derfor, at eventuelle virkninger af valutakurserne ikke kan betragtes som en væsentlig årsag til den skadelige situation, som EF-erhvervsgrenen befinder sig i.
It is therefore concluded that the effect of exchange rates, if any, cannot be considered as a substantial cause of the injurious situation of the Community industry.

Salg (tons)
Sales volume (metric tonnes)
Markedsandel
market shares
Ovenstående tabel viser, at de øvrige EF-producenters salg på fællesskabsmarkedet faldt med næsten 20 % i den betragtede periode.
The above table shows that the sales of the other Community producers on the Community market decreased by almost 20 % during the period under examination.
Den tilsvarende markedsandel er også faldet fra 9,2 % i 2000 til 8,3 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
The corresponding market shares have also decreased from 9,2 % in 2000 to 8,3 % during the investigation period.
På grundlag af de foreliggende oplysninger konkluderes det derfor, at de øvrige fællesskabsproducenter var i en lignende situation som EF-erhvervsgrenen og ikke forvoldte denne skade.
Based on the information available it is therefore concluded that the other Community producers were in a situation similar to that of the Community industry and did not cause any injury to the Community industry.
Eksportsalg (tons)
Sales volume export (tonnes)
En interesseret part hævdede, at en del af den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt, kunne tilskrives dens eksportresultater.
One interested party claimed that part of the injury suffered by the Community industry could be attributed to the export performance of the Community industry.
Det blev fremført, at EF-erhvervsgrenen forsætligt reducerede sit hjemmemarkedssalg til fordel for en rentabel eksport til tredjelande.
It was argued that the Community industry deliberately decreased its domestic sales in favour of profitable exports to non EU-countries.
Ovenstående tabel viser, at EF-erhvervsgrenen faktisk øgede sin eksport i den betragtede periode og navnlig fra og med 2002.
The above table shows that indeed the Community industry increased its exports during the period under examination and especially from 2002 onwards.
Denne stigning skal imidlertid snarere ses på baggrund af væksten i dumpingimporten på fællesskabsmarkedet på et tidspunkt, hvor forbruget faldt, og hvor fællesskabspriserne i betydelig grad var udsat for pres.
However, this increase should rather be seen in the light of the surge of dumped imports on the Community market, at a time when the consumption decreased and Community prices were depressed to a significant extent.
Under disse omstændigheder forsøgte EF-erhvervsgrenen at begrænse skaden ved at øge sin eksport.
Under these circumstances the Community industry reacted, in order to limit the damage, by an attempt to increase their exports.
Det skal også erindres, at markedet i Fællesskabet fortsat er EF-erhvervsgrenens naturlige marked.
It is also recalled that the Community market remains the Community industry's natural market.
I 2001, hvor situationen på fællesskabsmarkedet blev gunstig, øgede EF-erhvervsgrenen faktisk sit hjemmemarkedssalg, og eksportsalget faldt.
In fact, in the year 2001, when the situation on the Community market became favourable, the Community industry increased its domestic sales volume, and exports sales were reduced.
Desuden skal det bemærkes, at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, ikke kun bestod i tab af salg og markedsandel på fællesskabsmarkedet.
In addition, it should be noted that the injury suffered by the Community industry did not only consist in a loss of sales volume and market shares on the Community market.
Tværtimod finder Kommissionen, at et øget eksportsalg kan have gjort det muligt for EF-erhvervsgrenen at opnå stordriftsfordele og derved en løftestangsvirkning på de samlede omkostninger til samme vare.
On the contrary, it is considered that increased export sales volume may have allowed the Community industry to benefit from economies of scale and thus a leverage in the overall costs of the like product.
Hvis der ikke havde været en øget eksport, forventes det, at tabene ville have været endnu større.
In the absence of such increasing exports, it is expected that losses would have been even more significant.
Det konkluderes derfor, at den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, ikke kan tilskrives dens øgede eksport.
It is therefore concluded that the injury suffered by the Community industry cannot be attributed to its increasing exports.
Ikke-dumpet import fra de pågældende lande
Non-dumped imports from the countries concerned
Den ikke-dumpede import fra Rusland steg med 66 % i den betragtede periode, hvilket svarede til en øget markedsandel på næsten 3 procentpoint.
Non-dumped imports from Russia increased by 66 % during the period under examination, corresponding to a market share gain of almost 3 percentage points.
I denne forbindelse skal det for det første bemærkes, at denne stigning i importen var mindre udtalt end stigningen i dumpingimporten, jf. betragtning (75).
In that respect, it should firstly be noted that this increase of imports was less marked than that of the dumped imports, as stated in recital 75 above.
For det andet blev det også fastslået, at prisniveauet for den ikke-dumpede import var højere end for dumpingimporten.
Secondly, it was also established that the price level of the non-dumped imports was higher than that of the dumped imports.
For den ikke-dumpede import blev der fastsat en underbudsmargen på 6,1 %, mens underbudsmargenen for dumpingimporten udgjorde mellem 14,4 % og 26,6 %.
Indeed, whilst an undercutting margin of 6,1 % was established in the case of the non-dumped imports, the undercutting margin for the dumped imports ranged between 14,4 % and 26,6 %.
Det konkluderes derfor, at eventuelle virkninger af den ikke-dumpede import på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation var begrænsede og ikke kunne anses for at være afgørende for den skadelige situation, som EF-erhvervsgrenen befandt sig i.
For those reasons it is concluded that any impact of non-dumped imports on the situation of the Community industry was limited and could not be considered as a determining reason for the injurious situation of the Community industry.

Gennemsnitlig enhedspris
Average unit price
Ovenstående tabel viser, at importen fra andre tredjelande faldt i absolutte og relative tal.
The table above indicates that imports from other third countries decreased in absolute and relative terms.
Samtidig steg den tilsvarende gennemsnitlige salgspris.
At the same time, the corresponding average sales price increased.
Konklusionen var derfor, at importen fra andre tredjelande ikke havde bidraget til den skade, EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt.
It is therefore concluded that the imports from other third countries did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Faldende efterspørgsel
Decline in demand
På et marked med faldende efterspørgsel forventes det, at alle erhvervsdrivende oplever faldende salg.
In a market where demand is decreasing, it is expected that all operators face a diminution of their sales.
Dette var tilfældet for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
This was the case of the Community industry.
Dette salg faldt imidlertid mere end forbruget i den betragtede periode.
However those sales decreased more than the consumption during the period under examination.
