EF-erhvervsgrenen er ikke ved at overvinde virkningerne af tidligere dumping eller subsidiering, da der ikke tidligere er foretaget sådanne undersøgelser.
The Community industry is not recovering from the effects of past dumping or subsidisation since no such previous investigations have been made.
Allerede ved begyndelsen af den betragtede periode havde Kina halvdelen af fællesskabsmarkedet for bueformede ringmekanismer.
Already at the beginning of the period considered, the PRC had half of the LAM Community market.
Kina har styrket denne allerede stærke position betydeligt.
The PRC strengthened this already strong position considerably.
Det skal erindres, at importen fra Kina er steget stærkt i den betragtede periode, både i mængde (+ 79 mio. enheder) og markedsandel (+ 8,8 procentpoint).
It is recalled that import volumes from the PRC have increased considerably, both in volume terms (+ 79 million units) and market share (+ 8,8 percentage points) during the period considered.
Den gennemsnitlige enhedspris på den pågældende import faldt desuden med 11 %, hvilket er afspejlet i det prisunderbud, der konstateredes i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Furthermore, the average unit price of those imports decreased by 11 %, which is reflected in the price undercutting found in the investigation.
Selv om EF-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde steg, opnåede erhvervsgrenen ikke fordel af den betydelige vækst på fællesskabsmarkedet (+ 32 % eller + 98 mio. enheder) i undersøgelsesperioden.
While the sales volumes of the Community industry increased, that industry did hardly benefit from the significant growth of the Community market (+ 32 % or + 98 million units) during the IP.
Den tabte betydelige markedsandele og led under et gennemsnitligt prisfald på 13 %.
They lost significant market share and suffered from an average price decrease by 13 %.
Dette førte til en fordobling af tabene, reduceret likviditet og afkast af investeringerne, faldende produktion og udnyttelse af produktionskapaciteten, stagnerende lønninger og tab af arbejdspladser i den betragtede periode.
This led to a doubling of losses, reduced cash flow and return on investment, decreasing production and utilisation of the production capacity, stagnating wages and the obligation to decrease the employment during the period considered.
Trods bestræbelserne for at blive mere konkurrencedygtig forværredes EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation betydeligt i undersøgelsesperioden.
Notwithstanding the effort deployed to become more competitive the financial situation of the Community industry significantly worsened during the IP.
Det skal også bemærkes, at nogle EF-producenter har indstillet produktionen eller er lukket i løbet af de seneste år.
It has also to be noted that some Community producers stopped production or went out of business in recent years.
I overensstemmelse med artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, i grundforordningen blev det også undersøgt, om der var en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In accordance with Articles 3(6) and 3(7) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether there is a causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, som på samme tid kunne have forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade, blev også undersøgt i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 7, for at sikre, at en eventuel skade forvoldt af sådanne faktorer ikke blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Community industry, were also examined according to Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation to ensure that the possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Følgevirkninger af importen fra Kina
Effect of the imports from the PRC
Det skal erindres, at importen fra Kina udtrykt i mængde steg med 43 %, mens dens markedsandel steg med 8,8 procentpoint i den betragtede periode.
It is recalled that import volumes from the PRC increased by around 43 % as did its market share by 8,8 percentage points during the period considered.
I den betragtede periode var der også et tidsmæssigt sammenfald mellem den yderligere vækst i lavprisdumpingimporten og den betydelige forværring af EF-erhvervsgrenens allerede dårlige situation.
During the period considered, there was also a coincidence in time between the further surge of low-priced dumped imports and the significant worsening of an already bad situation of the Community industry.
Dette illustreres bedst ved at sammenligne de økonomiske resultater, som de kinesiske eksportører og EF-erhvervsgrenen opnåede mellem 2003 og undersøgelsesperioden.
This is best illustrated by comparing the economic results achieved by both Chinese exporters and the Community industry between 2003 and the IP.
I denne periode steg mængden af bueformede ringmekanismer importeret fra Kina med 48 mio. enheder, mens der konstateredes et betydeligt prisunderbud.
In that period the volume of LAM imported from China increased by 48 million units while significant price undercutting was found to exist.
Som resultat var de kinesiske eksporterende producenter i stand til at vinde markedsandele med 4,4 procentpoint.
As a result the Chinese exporting producers were able to gain 4,4 percentage points of market share.
I samme periode steg EF-erhvervsgrenens salg kun med 14 mio. enheder, hvilket førte til et tab af markedsandel på 4,3 procentpoint på et marked i hurtig vækst.
During the same period the sales volume of the Community industry only increased by 14 million units thus resulting in a loss of market share of 4,3 percentage points in a rapidly increasing market.
Samtidig måtte EF-erhvervsgrenen sænke de gennemsnitlige salgspriser med omkring 4 %.
Simultaneously, the Community industry had to decrease average sales price by around 4 %.
Den dramatiske forværring af dens finansielle situation i denne periode fremgår f.eks. af, at dens tab steg med 7 procentpoint.
The dramatic worsening in its financial situation during this period is for instance evidenced by an increase of its losses by 7 percentage points.
Det skal bemærkes, at importen fra Kina allerede var betydelig ved begyndelsen af den betragtede periode, og at EF-erhvervsgrenen derfor befandt sig i en udsat position fra periodens start.
It should be noted that the imports from China was already at a high level at the beginning of the period considered and that the community industry was therefore in a vulnerable situation from the beginning of this period.
Som vist af den stigende markedsandel i tabel 2 blev de kinesiske eksportører, der foretog dumping, de ledende aktører på fællesskabsmarkedet, hvor de fortrængte EF-erhvervsgrenen i undersøgelsesperioden.
As shown by the increasing market share in Table 2, Chinese exporters practicing dumping became the major players on the Community market supplanting the Community industry during the IP.
Følgevirkninger af importen fra tredjelande
Effects of imports from third countries
Som nævnt i betragtning 36 er der ikke mange selskaber i verden, der fremstiller og eksporterer bueformede ringmekanismer.
As explained in recital 36, there are not many companies in the world producing and exporting LAM.
I forbindelse med valget af et referenceland blev der identificeret et antal producenter i Indien og Iran, men de foreliggende oplysninger tyder på, at de kendte producenter i disse lande kun i begrænset omfang — om overhovedet — eksporterede bueformede ringmekanismer.
In the context of the choice of an analogue country, some producers were identified in India and in Iran but the information available suggest that only limited quantities of LAM, if any, were exported by the known producers in these countries.
Disse producenters centrale marked var derfor klart deres hjemmemarked.
The core market of these producers was clearly their domestic market.
Det er derfor meget usandsynligt, at import med oprindelse i andre tredjelande, såsom Indien, kan have bidraget til den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
It is therefore very unlikely that imports originating in other third countries, such as India could have contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
De foreliggende oplysninger er yderst begrænsede, så det er ikke engang muligt at foretage et pålideligt skøn over størrelsen af denne begrænsede import fra andre tredjelande.
The information available is extremely limited so that it is not even possible to make a reliable estimate of this limited quantity, if any, of imports from other third countries.
Kommissionen finder derfor, at importen af bueformede ringmekanismer med oprindelse i andre tredjelande ikke kunne have påvirket EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation.
It is therefore considered that the imports of LAM originating in other third countries could not have affected the economic situation of the Community industry.
Følgevirkninger af EF-erhvervsgrenens import fra Kina
Effects of Chinese imports made by the Community industry
Som anført i betragtning 55 blev det konstateret, at en af de samarbejdsvillige producenter, der indgik i definitionen af EF-erhvervsgrenen, havde importeret den pågældende vare fra Kina i den betragtede periode.
As explained in recital 55, it was found that one of the cooperating producers included in the definition of the Community industry imported the product concerned from the PRC during the period considered.
Hovedparten af de varer, som denne producent havde solgt i EF i undersøgelsesperioden, var fremstillet i Fællesskabet — omkring af 25 % af de solgte varer var indkøbt i Kina.
The vast majority of the EC sales of that producer during the IP were produced in the Community — about 25 % of the sales volume was purchased from the PRC.
Det fremgik af undersøgelsen, at den pågældende producent importerede bueformede ringmekanismer fra Kina, som var fremstillet af en kinesisk eksportør, med hvilken selskabet havde en handelsaftale.
The investigation showed that the said producer imported LAM from China which were produced by a Chinese exporter with whom he had a commercial agreement.
Det konstateredes også, at selskabets videresalgspris for de importerede bueformede ringmekanismer var sammenlignelig med prisen på de bueformede ringmekanismer, som det selv fremstillede.
It was also found that the resale price at which he was selling the imported LAM was comparable to the price he was selling LAM of its own production.
På dette grundlag finder Kommissionen ikke, at denne import har bidraget til den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
On this basis, it is not considered that such imports have contributed to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Selv om det er korrekt, at denne import klart er mere end ubetydelig (idet den svarer til omkring 6 % af EF-erhvervsgrenens samlede salg i undersøgelsesperioden), skal følgende bemærkes.
While it is true that these imports represent clearly more than a negligible volume (namely around 6 %, of total Community industry’s sales during the IP), the following should be noted.
For det første svarede videresalgspriserne til salgspriserne på de varer, som selskabet selv fremstillede.
Firstly, the resale prices corresponded to the selling prices of its own produced merchandise.
Desuden supplerede salget af denne indkøbte vare selskabets eget varesortiment.
Moreover, the sales of this trade product completed its own product range.
For det andet har denne import som nævnt i betragtning 55 og 56 delvist gjort det muligt for den pågældende producent at begrænse det store tab, den havde lidt ved at sælge de varer, den selv havde fremstillet, på fællesskabsmarkedet.
Secondly, as already explained in recitals 55 and 56, these imports have partly allowed the said producer to reduce some of the high losses incurred from selling its own produced products on the Community market.
Det var således en form for selvforsvar mod dumpingimporten fra Kina, at selskabet supplerede sit varesortiment ved at importere kinesiske varer.
Thus, completion of its product range by importing Chinese merchandise was a sort of self-defence in order to cope with Chinese dumped imports.
Denne producent støtter også klart den aktuelle procedure.
This producer also clearly supports the current proceeding.
Det er derfor meget usandsynligt, at den pågældende producents import bidrog til den konstaterede skade.
It is therefore very unlikely that the imports made by the said producer contributed to the injury found.
Følgevirkninger af EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater
Effects of the export performance by the Community industry
Det blev også undersøgt, hvorvidt EF-erhvervsgrenens eksport af bueformede ringmekanismer kan have været en årsag til den skade, som den led i den betragtede periode.
It was also examined whether or not the export of LAM made by the Community industry may have been a cause of the injury it suffered during the period considered.
Som antydet i nedenstående tabel har EF-erhvervsgrenens centrale marked altid været fællesskabsmarkedet.
As suggested by Table 10, the core market of the Community industry has always been the Community market.
Eksporten til lande uden for EU tegnede sig for mellem 7,4 % og 16,2 % af EF-erhvervsgrenens samlede salg i den betragtede periode.
Exports outside the EU represented between 7,4 % and 16,2 % of total sales of the Community industry during the period considered.
(’000 enheder)
(1000 units)
EF-erhvervsgrenens eksport faldt med ca. 18 mio. enheder i den betragtede periode.
Exports of the Community industry decreased by around 18 million units throughout the period considered.
Dette fald skal ses på baggrund af den betragtelige vækst, der fandt sted på fællesskabsmarkedet i denne periode.
This decrease has to be seen in the light of the significant growth of the Community market which took place in that period.
Det skal erindres, at den kinesiske eksport i denne periode også vandt markedsandele på andre globale markeder, hvilket fremgik af analysen af de oplysninger, der blev indhentet i forbindelse med valget af referenceland.
It should be borne in mind that during that period Chinese exports were also gaining market share in other worldwide markets, as evidenced by the analysis of the information gathered for the choice of the analogue country.
Det fremgik desuden af undersøgelsen, at EF-erhvervsgrenens produktion var ret stabil og kun faldt med 2 % i løbet af den betragtede periode.
In addition, the investigation showed that Community industry production was rather stable and only decreased by 2 % during the period considered.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var i stand til at kontrollere og endda nedbringe sine omkostninger.
The Community industry was able to control and even reduce its costs.
På grundlag af de oplysninger, der i øjeblikket foreligger, finder Kommissionen derfor, at selv om faldet i eksportsalget kan have bidraget til den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, kan det ikke forklare det betydelige prisfald på fællesskabsmarkedet og de finansielle tab, som EF-erhvervsgrenen oplevede i undersøgelsesperioden.
Based on the information currently available, it is therefore considered that even if the decrease in exports sales volume may have contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry it cannot justify the significant price decrease on the Community market and the financial losses incurred by the Community industry during the IP.
Det skal understreges, at der i dette tilfælde først og fremmest blev forvoldt skade i form af pristryk, som førte til en yderligere forøgelse af tabene.
It must be underlined that the injury in this case primarily materialised in the form of price depression causing a further increase in losses.
Intet tyder på, at ovennævnte andre faktorer kunne have været en betydelig årsag til den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes EF-erhvervsgrenen.
There is no indication that the abovementioned other factors could have been a significant cause of the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
På grundlag af ovenstående analyse af virkningerne af alle kendte faktorer for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation konkluderes det foreløbigt, at der er et klart sammenfald i tid og dermed en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
Based on the above analysis of the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry, it is provisionally concluded that there is a clear coincidence in time and thus a causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Community industry pursuant to Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21 er det blevet undersøgt, om der er tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke ville være i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre antidumpingtold på importen fra det pågældende land.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it has been examined whether compelling reasons exist that could lead to the conclusion that it would be against the Community interest to impose anti-dumping duties against imports from the country concerned.
Kommissionen sendte spørgeskemaer til importører, forhandlere og industrielle brugere.
The Commission services sent questionnaires to importers, traders and industrial users.
På grundlag af oplysninger fra de samarbejdsvillige parter blev der draget følgende konklusioner.
On the basis of the information received from the cooperating parties, the following conclusions were reached.
Det skal nævnes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen bestod af fem producenter, som beskæftiger over 700 mennesker i forbindelse med produktion og salg af den pågældende vare.
It is recalled that the Community industry consisted of five producers employing over 700 people in the production and sale of the product concerned.
De økonomiske indikatorer for EF-erhvervsgrenen viste også forværrede økonomiske resultater i den betragtede periode, som førte til, at nogle EF-producenter indstillede virksomheden i Fællesskabet i de seneste år.
It is also recalled that the economic indicators of the Community industry showed deteriorating financial results during the period considered, leading to some producers in the Community to give up production in the Community in recent years.
EF-erhvervsgrenen er imidlertid levedygtig og ikke villig til at opgive dette salgssegment, således som det fremgår af de bestræbelser, der er udfoldet for at imødegå stigningen i dumpingimporten.
However, the Community industry is viable and not ready to give up this segment of sales as the actions taken to cope with the surge in dumped imports have shown.
F.eks. viste undersøgelsen, at det lykkedes EF-erhvervsgrenen at forbedre sin produktionsproces og nedbringe leveringstiden i den betragtede periode.
As an example, the investigation showed that the Community industry managed to improve its production process and shorten delivery time during the period considered.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, er der sandsynlighed for, at pristrykket fra dumpingimporten vil stige, at EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation fortsat vil blive dårligere, og at flere EF-producenter vil blive tvunget til at standse produktionen med negative følgevirkninger for den bredere sektor, der allerede lider under dumpingimporten.
If measures are not imposed it is likely that the price pressure from the dumped imports will increase, the financial situation of the Community industry will continue to deteriorate further and more Community producers will be forced to cease production, with adverse consequences for the broader sector already suffering from imports made at dumped prices.
Hvis der indføres foranstaltninger, kan det forventes, at EF-erhvervsgrenens produktions- og salgsmængde vil stige i løbet af meget kort tid, således at den bliver i stand til at sprede sine faste omkostninger over en større produktion.
If measures are imposed, it can be expected that the Community industry’s production and sales volume will rise within a very short period, thus allowing the Community industry to spread its fixed costs over a higher output.
I denne forbindelse bemærkes det, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har en meget lav kapacitetsudnyttelse, og at den kan øge sin produktion betydeligt.
In this context, it is noted that the Community industry’s capacity utilisation is very low and that the Community industry could indeed significantly increase its output.
Dette vil også gøre det muligt for EF-erhvervsgrenen at genvinde den markedsandel, den mistede i den betragtede periode, og gøre brug af stordriftsfordele.
This would also allow the Community industry to regain the market share it lost during the period considered and make economies of scale.
Det er sandsynligt, at EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation vil nå et mere bæredygtigt niveau, når prisfastsættelsen ikke længere forvrides af dumpingimport.
It is likely that the financial situation of the Community industry will reach a more sustainable level once the determination of prices is no longer distorted by dumped imports.
Det er derfor klart, at det vil være i EF-erhvervsgrenens interesse at indføre antidumpingforanstaltninger.
It is therefore clear that anti-dumping measures would be in the interest of the Community industry.
12 leverandører af råmaterialer til fællesskabsproducenter skrev til Kommissionen vedrørende den aktuelle procedure.
12 suppliers of raw materials to Community producers wrote to the Commission concerning the present proceeding.
Disse parter støtter en indførelse af antidumpingforanstaltninger.
These parties support the imposition of AD measures.
Kommissionen finder, at disse leverandører er repræsentative for leverandørerne til stålindustrien i denne procedure.
It is considered that these suppliers are representative of the steel suppliers industry in this proceeding.
Det er klart, at leverandørindustrien risikerer, at et salgssegment forsvinder på kort sigt, hvis der ikke træffes foranstaltninger mod lavprisdumpingimporten.
It is clear that the supplier industry risks seeing one sales segment disappearing in the short term in case no measures are taken against low-priced dumped imports.
EF-erhvervsgrenen kan ikke blive ved med at bære de hidtidige store tab.
The high losses incurred by the Community industry cannot be sustained any longer.
Leverandørerne talte også for indførelse af foranstaltninger, da dette bør føre til større sikkerhed på markedet lige fra råvareleverancer til leverancer af bueformede ringmekanismer til brugerindustrien.
The suppliers were also advocating the imposition of measures as it should lead to more security in the market starting with the supply of raw material to the delivery of LAM to the user’s industry.
De understregede den økonomiske betydning af den pågældende EF-erhvervsgren for brugerne i Fællesskabet.
They stressed the economic importance of the Community LAM industry from the point of view of the community users.
Det skal imidlertid bemærkes, at disse bemærkninger er fremsat på brugernes vegne (se nedenfor).
However it is noted that these arguments are made on behalf of users, see below.
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderes det derfor, at en indførelse af antidumpingforanstaltninger ikke vil stride mod fællesskabsleverandørernes interesser.
On the basis of the foregoing, it is therefore concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would not be against the interest of Community suppliers.
Brugernes og importørernes interesser
Interest of users and importers
Der blev modtaget besvarelser fra otte brugere og to importører på fællesskabsmarkedet.
Replies from eight users and two importers located in the Community market were received.
Brugerne er normalt også importører, idet de importerer bueformede ringmekanismer og fremstiller ringbind, som er den færdige vare.
Users are usually importers as well, in the sense that they import LAM and produce Lever Arch Files (LAF), the downstream product.
Disse parters samlede virksomhed er betydelig, men bueformede ringmekanismer tegner sig kun for 10 % af den samlede aktivitet.
The total business of these parties is significant but LAM only represents 10 % of the overall activity.
