I overensstemmelse med artikel 3, stk. 7, i grundforordningen undersøgte Kommissionen også andre kendte faktorer, der kan have skadet EF-erhvervsgrenen, for at sikre, at skade forvoldt af sådanne faktorer ikke fejlagtigt blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined other known factors which might have injured the Community industry in order to ensure that any injury caused by those factors was not wrongly attributed to the dumped imports.
Virkningerne af dumpingimporten
Effect of the dumped imports
Mængden af FSEPB med oprindelse i Kina steg kraftigt i den betragtede periode.
The volume of FPFAF originating in the PRC increased significantly during the period considered.
Som det fremgår af tabellen i betragtning 67, steg importen fra Kina fra ca. 135 mio. løbende meter i 2000 til 288 mio. løbende meter i undersøgelsesperioden, dvs. med 114 %.
As can be seen in the table under recital (67), imports from the PRC increased from around 135 m running metres in 2000 to a level of 288 m running metres in the IP, i.e. by 114 %.
Dermed blev FSEPB-importens markedsandel mere end fordoblet, idet den steg fra 18,2 % til 39,3 %.
As a result, the market share of imports of FPFAF from the PRC more than doubled, going from of 18,2 % to 39,3 %.
Som konstateret i betragtning 71 lå priserne på importen med oprindelse i Kina et godt stykke under EF-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitlige salgspriser med en underbudsmargen på mellem 8,8 % og 51,1 %.
As established in recital (71) above, the imports originating in the PRC undercut the average sales price of the Community industry by a significant amount, with an undercutting margin ranging from 8,8 to 51,1 %.
Pristrykket fra den pågældende import betød, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke kunne forhøje sine priser for at afspejle den højere merværdi som følge af forbedringen af varesortimentets specifikationer.
The price pressure by the imports concerned prevented the Community industry from increasing their prices in order to reflect the higher added value resulting from the specifications of the product mix sold by the Community industry.
Den betydelige stigning i importen med oprindelse i Kina og dens erobring af markedsandele mellem 2000 og undersøgelsesperioden til priser, der lå væsentligt under EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, faldt tidsmæssigt sammen med forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation i samme periode, som det fremgår af udviklingen i næsten samtlige skadesindikatorer.
The substantial increase in the volume of imports originating in PRC and their gain in market share between 2000 and the IP, at prices which remained well below those of the Community industry, coincided in time with the deterioration in the situation of the Community industry during the very same period, as shown in the trend of almost all injury indicators.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var nødt til at prøve at matche priserne i et forsøg på at bevare sine markedsandele og dermed opretholde produktionen.
The Community industry was forced to try to match prices in an attempt to maintain market share and thus production.
Når priserne var for lave til at dække de variable omkostninger, var EF-erhvervsgrenen imidlertid nødt til at opgive markedsandele for at undgå at lide endnu større tab.
However, where prices were too low to cover variable costs they were forced to give up market share in order to avoid incurring even greater losses.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at presset fra den pågældende import, hvis mængde og markedsandel voksede betydeligt fra og med 2000, og som blev solgt til lave dumpingpriser, spillede en afgørende rolle ved at forårsage prisfald og pristryk samt tab af markedsandele for EF-erhvervsgrenen, hvilket førte til en forværring af dens finansielle situation.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the pressure exerted by the imports concerned, which significantly increased their volume and market share from 2000 onwards, and which were made at low dumped prices, played a determining role in causing price depression and suppression and loss of market share for the Community industry and, as a consequence, a deterioration in its financial situation.
Virkninger af andre faktorer
Effect of other factors
Import fra andre tredjelande
Imports originating in other third countries
Importen fra tredjelande, der ikke er omfattet af denne undersøgelse, udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
The imports from third countries not concerned by this investigation showed the following development during the period considered:
Alle andre lande
All other countries
Efter at være steget i 2001 og 2002 faldt den samlede import fra alle andre lande med i alt 14 % i den betragtede periode.
Following an increase in volumes in 2001 and 2002, total imports from all other countries have fallen by 14 % overall in the period considered.
På samme vis steg markedsandelen for alle andre lande først til 38,4 % i 2001, men er siden faldet til 31,1 %.
Similarly, although the market share of all other countries first increased to 38,4 % in 2001, it has since fallen to 31,1 %.
For importen fra alle andre lande er der således konstateret et fald i både mængde og markedsandel, samtidig med at importmængden fra Kina og dens markedsandel er steget.
Thus imports from all other countries have lost both volume and market share, while at the same time import volumes and market share of the PRC increased.
Priserne på importen fra alle andre lande lå konstant højere end priserne på importen fra Kina.
Price of imports from all other countries were constantly higher than prices from PRC.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at importen af FSEPB med oprindelse i andre lande end Kina ikke har bidraget til den skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that imports of FPFAF originating in countries other than the PRC have not contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Ændringer i forbrugsmønstret
Changes in the pattern of consumption
Som nævnt i betragtning 66 faldt forbruget af FSEPB i Fællesskabet med mindre end 1 % i løbet af den betragtede periode.
As mentioned in recital (66), the consumption of FPFAF in the Community fell by less than 1 % during the period considered.
Hvis EF-erhvervsgrenen havde været i stand til at fastholde sin markedsandel, ville dens salgsmængde i Fællesskabet kun være faldet med 900000 løbende meter som følge af denne nedgang i forbruget.
Had the Community industry been able to maintain its market share it would have suffered a loss in sales volumes in the EC of only 900000 running metres as a result of this fall in consumption.
Det reelle fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde var imidlertid 19000000 løbende meter, hvilket er mere end 21 gange større.
The actual fall in EC sales volume was, however, 19000000 running metres, which is more than 21 times greater.
Det blev derfor foreløbigt konkluderet, at ændringen i forbrugsmønstret ikke var en væsentlig årsag til den skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Therefore, the pattern of consumption has provisionally been considered not to have been a material cause of any injury suffered by the Community industry.
Selv om der kun foreligger begrænsede oplysninger om andre EF-producenters resultater, kan det i betragtning af, at 12 producenter støttede klagen, og på baggrund af de generelle markedsoplysninger om denne sektor, med rimelighed formodes, at de også blev påført væsentlig skade af dumpingimporten.
Although only limited information on the performance of other Community producers is available, in the light of the fact that twelve producers supported the complaint and taking account of general market information on the sector, it can be reasonably presumed, that they also suffered material injury from the dumped imports.
Da der ikke var noget, der tydede på, at de var i en anden situation end EF-erhvervsgrenen, kan andre EF-producenter ikke anses for at være årsag til den skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In the absence of any indication that their situation would be different from that of the Community industry, other Community producers cannot be considered as a cause of injury to the Community industry.
Konklusion om årsagssammenhæng
Conclusion on Causation
I den betragtede periode steg importen fra Kina betydeligt både mængdemæssigt og med hensyn til markedsandele, og dens priser lå væsentligt under EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, hvilket tidsmæssigt faldt bemærkelsesværdigt sammen med forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
During the period considered, there were significant increases in volumes and market shares of imports from the PRC, which also undercut significantly the prices of the Community industry, and showed a striking coincidence in time with the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry.
Der er ikke fremført eller konstateret andre faktorer, der i væsentlig grad kan have påvirket EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
No other factors have been put forward or been found which could have affected in a significant way the situation of the Community industry.
På baggrund af ovennævnte analyse, hvor der er skelnet mellem alle kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, konkluderes det således foreløbigt, at importen fra Kina har forvoldt Fællesskabet væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors having an effect on the situation of the Community industry, from the injurious effect of the dumped imports, it is therefore provisionally concluded that the imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Community within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Det blev undersøgt, om der på trods af den konstaterede skadevoldende dumping findes tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke vil være i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre antidumpingforanstaltninger i dette særlige tilfælde.
It has been examined whether, despite the findings on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed that could lead to the conclusion that it would be against the Community interest to adopt anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
Med henblik herpå og i overensstemmelse med artikel 21, stk. 1, i grundforordningen blev Fællesskabets interesser fastlagt på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede interesser, dvs. EF-erhvervsgrenens, andre EF-producenters, importørernes, forhandlernes samt brugernes og råvareleverandørernes interesser i tilknytning til den pågældende vare.
For this purpose and in accordance with Article 21(1) of the basic Regulation, the determination of Community interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Community industry, other Community producers, the importers/traders as well as the users and suppliers of raw materials concerning the product under consideration.
Kommissionen sendte spørgeskemaer til importører, forhandlere, råvareleverandører, industrielle brugere samt forskellige brugersammenslutninger.
The Commission sent questionnaires to importers/traders, suppliers of raw materials, industrial users as well as various associations of users.
Kun en enkelt leverandør og en importør/bruger indgav fyldestgørende besvarelser.
Only one supplier and one importer/user made substantive responses.
EF-erhvervsgrenens og andre EF-producenters interesser
Interest of the Community industry and of other Community producers
EF-erhvervsgrenen består som nævnt af syv producenter, der direkte beskæftiger ca. 1800 ansatte, hvoraf de 790 var beskæftigede med produktion og salg af FSEPB i undersøgelsesperioden.
It is recalled that the Community industry consists of 7 producers which directly employ around 1800 staff, 790 of whom worked in the production and sales of FPFAF during the IP.
Deres produktion udgør ca. 30 % af den samlede produktion i Fællesskabet.
Their production is estimated to represent around 30 % of total production in the Community.
Indførelsen af foranstaltninger forventes at genskabe redelige konkurrencevilkår på markedet og forhindre, at EF-erhvervsgrenen påføres yderligere skade.
The imposition of measures is expected to restore fair competition on the market and prevent further injury to the Community industry.
Dette bør give EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at øge sit salg og sine markedsandele og blive rentabel igen.
The Community industry should then be able to increase its sales and market share, and become profitable again.
Dermed vil EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation kunne blive generelt forbedret.
This should lead to a general improvement of the Community industry’s financial situation.
En del af de andre EF-producenter støttede klagen, og ingen af dem modsatte sig den.
Concerning other Community producers, part of them expressed their support to the complaint and nobody opposed to it.
Det kan derfor foreløbigt konkluderes, at antidumpingforanstaltninger ikke vil være i strid med deres interesser.
We can therefore reasonably provisionally conclude that anti-dumping measures would not be against their interest.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger vil gøre det muligt for EF-erhvervsgrenen at overvinde virkningerne af den skadevoldende dumping og vil være i EF-erhvervsgrenens interesse.
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would allow the Community industry to recover from the effects of injurious dumping and would be in the interest of the Community industry.
Kun en enkelt importør gav sig til kende over for Kommissionen.
Only one importer made itself known to the Commission.
Denne importør anførte, at selskabet købte FSEPB fra Kina på grund af deres anderledes sammensætning og lavere priser, men gav ikke udtryk for sin holdning til den eventuelle indførelse af foranstaltninger.
This importer stated that it purchased FPFAF from the PRC due to its different construction and lower prices, but expressed no view on the possible imposition of measures.
Importøren, der tegnede sig for en ubetydelig del af importen fra Kina, indgav imidlertid ikke en dokumenteret besvarelse af spørgeskemaet.
This importer which represented a negligible proportion of imports from China, did not, however, submitted a substantiated reply to the questionnaire.
Ingen forhandlere gav sig til kende over for Kommissionen.
No traders made themselves known to the Commission.
Det var derfor ikke muligt at foretage en rimelig vurdering af, hvilke virkninger det vil kunne få for importørerne og forhandlerne, hvis der indføres eller ikke indføres foranstaltninger.
Therefore, it was impossible with regard to importers and traders to make a proper assessment of the possible effects of taking measures or not taking measures.
Det skal endvidere understreges, at antidumpingforanstaltninger ikke skal hindre import til Fællesskabet, men sikre, at importen ikke finder sted til skadevoldende dumpingpriser.
It should also be recalled that anti-dumping measures are not intended to prevent imports, but to ensure that they are not made at injuriously dumped prices.
Da import til redelige priser stadig vil kunne komme ind på markedet i Fællesskabet, og importen fra andre tredjelande også vil fortsætte, er det ikke sandsynligt, at importørernes traditionelle aktiviteter vil blive væsentligt berørt, selv om der indføres antidumpingforanstaltninger over for dumpingimporten.
As fairly-priced imports will still be allowed to enter into the Community market, and as imports from third countries will also continue, it is likely that the traditional business of importers will not be substantially affected even if anti-dumping measures against dumped imports are imposed.
Denne konklusion forstærkes af de manglende bemærkninger fra uafhængige importører.
The absence of comments by unrelated importers further underscores this conclusion.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at det ikke vil få nævneværdige virkninger for importørerne, hvis der indføres foranstaltninger.
Therefore, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of measures would not have any significant effect on importers.
Råvareleverandørernes interesser
Interest of suppliers of raw materials
Det skal erindres, at visse EF-producenter får deres råvarer fra selskaber i deres koncern (integrerede producenter).
It is recalled that some Community producers receive their raw material from group companies (integrated producers).
Andre benytter sig af uafhængige leverandører.
Others rely on suppliers independent of the Community producers.
EF-erhvervsgrenens klage blev støttet af International Rayon and Synthetic Fibres Committee, som er en repræsentativ sammenslutning af fiberproducenter, herunder producenter af garn af endeløse polyesterfibre, der er råvaren i produktionen af FSEPB.
The complaint by the Community industry was supported by the International Rayon and Synthetic Fibres Committee, a representative association of manufacturers of fibres including polyester filament yarn, the raw material for the production of FPFAF.
Sammenslutningen påpegede, at salget af garn til producenter af FSEPB i Fællesskabet udgør 25 % af dens medlemmers samlede produktion, og at det således er af stor betydning for disse medlemmer.
They pointed out that sales of yarn to producers of FPFAF in the Community represent 25 % of their members total production and are thus of great importance to their members.
En individuel leverandør af råvarer til EF-erhvervsgrenen gav sig endvidere til kende over for Kommissionen.
In addition, one individual supplier of raw material to the Community industry made itself known to the Commission.
Denne leverandør hævdede, at selskabets fortsatte investeringsevne ville blive påvirket i negativ retning, hvis dumpingimporten fra Kina fik lov til at fortsætte.
They argued that their ability to continue to invest would be negatively affected if dumped imports from PRC were allowed to continue.
På baggrund af ovenstående argumenter konkluderes det foreløbigt, at det ikke er i strid med råvareleverandørernes interesser at indføre foranstaltninger over for importen af FSEPB fra Kina.
Considering the above arguments, it is provisionally concluded that it is not against the interest of suppliers of raw materials to impose measures on FPFAF from PRC.
FSEPB anvendes hovedsagelig af beklædningsindustrien.
FPFAF is mainly used by the apparel industry.
Afhængigt af de forskellige specifikationer kan stofferne anvendes til at fremstille for til beklædning og til at fremstille nattøj og undertøj samt sports-, arbejds- og yderbeklædning.
Depending on the exact specifications it is used in making linings for clothing, for making nightwear and lingerie, and, for making sportswear, workwear and outerwear.
De anvendes også i en vis udstrækning til at fremstille produkter som f.eks. børnesæder til biler, klapvogne osv.
It is also used to some extent in the manufacture of items such as children’s car seats, push chairs etc.
Der blev modtaget ni redegørelser fra FSEPB-brugere.
Nine submissions from users of FPFAF were received.
Kun en enkelt af disse brugere importerer i øjeblikket FSEPB fra Kina.
Of these only one user currently imports part of the FPFAF from the PRC.
Denne bruger fremførte, at EF-erhvervsgrenens priser er højere, og at der ikke burde indføres foranstaltninger, da det ville øge brugerens omkostninger og gøre varerne mindre konkurrencedygtige, især i forhold til importen af beklædningsgenstande fra Kina.
The latter argued that the prices charged by the Community industry were higher and that measures should not be imposed as it would increase their costs and reduce the competitiveness of their products, particularly compared to imports of apparel from the PRC.
Brugeren fremførte endvidere, at eftersom deres FSEPB blev købt både i Fællesskabet og i Kina, ville de øgede omkostninger og den dermed mindskede konkurrenceevne ikke blot få negative følgevirkninger for brugeren selv, men også for EF-erhvervsgrenen, som de også køber fra.
This user further argued that as they currently source FPFAF both within the Community and in the PRC, an increase in their costs leading to loss of competitiveness on their part would negatively affect not only themselves but also the Community industry from whom they also buy.
De andre brugere bemærkede, at indførelsen af told sandsynligvis ville øge omkostningerne til den indførte vare, men at de formodentlig ikke ville blive direkte påvirket af en sådan stigning.
The other users noted that the imposition of duties would probably lead to an increase in the cost of the imported product, but that they were unlikely to be directly affected by such an increase.
På baggrund af de modtagne bemærkninger anses det ikke for sandsynligt, at brugerne vil få betydelige omkostningsstigninger.
In view of the comments made, it is considered that any cost increase for the users would be unlikely to be significant.
Desuden kan den pågældende vare stadig indføres fra Kina til markedet i Fællesskabet, men til rimelige priser, og der vil stadig være adgang til varer fra andre kilder, som ikke sælger til dumpingpriser.
Moreover, it should be recalled that imports from the PRC may continue to enter the Community market, but at fair prices, and that other non-dumped sources will remain available.
På denne baggrund konkluderes det foreløbigt, at det ikke vil få betydelige virkninger for brugernes interesser, hvis der indføres midlertidige foranstaltninger over for Kina.
In the light of this, it is provisionally concluded that provisional measures against PRC will not significantly affect the interest of users.
Det er i EF-erhvervsgrenens, andre EF-producenters og EF-erhvervsgrenens leverandørers interesse, at der indføres foranstaltninger.
The imposition of measures is in the interest of the Community industry, other Community producers, and suppliers to the Community industry.
Dette vil give EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at øge sin produktion, sit salg og sine markedsandele og blive rentabel igen.
It will allow the Community industry to increase production, sales and market share and return to profitability.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, vil EF-erhvervsgrenen kunne lide store tab som følge af en yderligere nedgang i salget og fortsat pristryk på markedet i Fællesskabet, hvorved EF-erhvervsgrenen fortsat vil kunne miste markedsandele til den stigende import med oprindelse i Kina og må nedsætte salgspriserne i et forsøg på at bremse faldet i markedsandele.
Should measures not be imposed, it is expected that the Community industry would suffer significant losses due to further decreases of sales and continued price depression on the Community market, which would lead to continuing loss of market share against increased imports originating in the PRC and a further deterioration in their sales prices as they would attempt to slow the decline in their market share.
Disse negative følgevirkninger for EF-erhvervsgrenen vil igen få negativ indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens leverandører, som vil lide under den begrænsede efterspørgsel og dermed være nødt til at mindske produktionen.
These negative effects on the Community industry would in turn negatively affect suppliers to the Community industry who would also suffer reduced demand forcing them to lower production.
Selv om foranstaltningerne forventes at øge priserne på importen, har importørerne ikke givet udtryk for bekymring herover, og de forventes ikke at blive nævneværdigt berørt af den eventuelle indførelse af foranstaltninger.
Although the measures would be expected to increase the price of imports, importers have not expressed concern about possible measures and it is considered that they would not be significantly affected by the imposition of measures.
