I betragtning af ovenstående konkluderes det, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
In the light of the foregoing it is concluded that the Community industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Kommissionen undersøgte i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, om den væsentlige skade, der var forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, var forårsaget af dumpingimport af den omhandlede vare med oprindelse i de omhandlede lande.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the material injury suffered by the Community industry was caused by dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the countries concerned.
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 have injured 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.
Det skal først og fremmest påpeges, at det fremgik af undersøgelsen, at fodtøjet, der importeres fra de omhandlede lande, på alle niveauer, dvs. med hensyn til alle stilarter og typer, konkurrerer med det fodtøj, der produceres og sælges af EF-erhvervsgrenen, og at de anvender samme salgskanaler.
Firstly it should be noted that the investigation revealed that the footwear, imported from the countries concerned, competes at all levels, i.e. all ranges and types, with the footwear produced and sold by the Community industry, and that their sales channels are, overall, identical.
Den betydelige stigning i dumpingimportens omfang, der blev mere end fordoblet i den omhandlede periode, var sammenfaldende med forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation.
The significant increase in volume of the dumped imports, which more than doubled during the period considered, coincided with the deterioration of the economic situation of the Community industry.
Denne forringelse gav sig bl.a. udslag i et fald i produktionen og salgsmængden med omkring 30 % i samme periode.
This deterioration materialised amongst others, by a drop in production and sales volume of around 30 % during the same period.
Væksten i dumpingimporten var ledsaget af et betydeligt fald i den tilsvarende gennemsnitspris.
The surge of dumped imports came together with a significant price decrease of the corresponding average price.
I løbet af undersøgelsesperioden faldt gennemsnitsprisen på dumpingimporten med 30 %.
Effectively, during the period under investigation, the average price of the dumped imports declined by 30 %.
I et forholdsvist gennemsigtigt og meget prisfølsomt marked, hvor fodtøj kun ordreproduceres, havde dette en dobbelt negativ virkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
In a relatively transparent and very price sensitive market, where footwear is produced on orders, this had a double negative impact on the situation of the Community industry.
Det medførte for det første et fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens priser med omkring 8 % i den omhandlede periode.
Firstly, it resulted in a depression of the Community industry prices, which decreased by around 8 % during the period considered.
For det andet, og hvad mere vigtigt er, påvirkede denne lavprisimport fra de omhandlede lande EF-erhvervsgrenens ordrebøger betydeligt, hvilket havde en negativ virkning på produktionen, salget og beskæftigelsen.
Secondly, and more importantly, the low priced imports from those countries seriously affected the Community industry's order books, thus causing a negative effect on production, sales volume and employment.
Dette illustreres af, hvorledes EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandele og de omhandlede landes markedsandele har udviklet sig. Deres situation har udviklet sig således:
The development of the Community industry's market share and that of the countries concerned, as shown below, is clearly illustrated.
Mens EF-erhvervsgrenen mistede omkring 9 procentpoint af markedsandelene i perioden fra 2001 til undersøgelsesperioden, udvidede de omhandlede lande deres markedsandele med omkring 14 procentpoint, og dette i en periode med et forholdsvist stabilt forbrug.
While the Community industry lost around nine percentage points of market share between 2001 and the IP, the countries concerned expanded by around 14 percentage points and this, during a period of relatively stable consumption.
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, produktionsmængde, markedsandele, beskæftigelse og trykket på dens priser, 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 and production volume, decrease in market share and employment, and price depression, it is concluded that the dumped imports played a determining role in the injurious situation of the Community industry.

Salg (i 1000 par sko)
Sales volume (000 pairs)
Det fremgår af ovenstående tabel, at salget fra de øvrige EF-producenter på EF-markedet faldt med over 70 mio. par sko i den omhandlede periode, hvilket er et fald på over 30 %.
The above table shows that the sales of the other Community producers on the Community market decreased by more than 70 million pairs during the period considered, a drop of more than 30 %.
Den tilsvarende markedsandel faldt også fra 38,1 % i 2000 til 25,3 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
The corresponding market share has also decreased from 38,1 % in 2000 to 25,3 % during the IP.
På grundlag af de foreliggende oplysninger konkluderes det derfor, at de øvrige EF-producenter 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.
Visse interesserede parter gjorde gældende, at EF-erhvervsgrenens dårlige økonomiske situation skyldtes en forringelse af dens eksportresultater.
Certain interested parties claimed that the poor economic situation of the Community footwear industry was due to a deterioration of its export performance.
Denne påstand bygger på den kendsgerning, at det i en rapport fra EF-erhvervsgrenen fastslås, at adgangen til eksportmarkeder er et væsentligt problem for sektoren, og at en lang række toldmæssige og ikke-toldmæssige hindringer stadig forhindrer EF-producenterne i at udnytte deres eksportpotentiale.
This allegation is based on the fact that in a report issued by the Community footwear industry, it is asserted that market access is a major problem for the sector in export markets and that a wide range of tariff and non-tariff barriers are still preventing the Community producers from exploiting their export potential.
Det skal på denne baggrund først påpeges, at skadesundersøgelsen fokuserer på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation på EF-markedet.
In this context, it should firstly be noted that the injury analysis focuses on the situation of the Community industry on the Community market.
En eventuel forringelse af eksportresultaterne har således ingen virkning på de fleste af ovennævnte indikatorer, f.eks. salgsmængde, markedsandele og priser.
Therefore a deterioration of the export performance, if any, does not have any impact on most of the indicators analysed above, such as sales volume, market share and prices.
Hvad angår den samlede produktionsmængde, hvor det ikke er muligt at sondre mellem EF-markedet og ikke-EF-markedet, eftersom fodtøj kun ordreproduceres, vil et fald i salget på EF-markedet nødvendigvis medføre et fald i produktionen.
In terms of the overall production volume, where the distinction between Community and outside Community market cannot be made, since footwear is produced on order, a decrease of sales on the Community market will necessarily translate into a declining production.
Da den største del af produktionen er beregnet til at blive solgt på EF-markedet og også selv om eksportsalget ligeledes faldt i den omhandlede periode, konkluderes det, at den største del af faldet i produktionen skyldes den skade, der er forvoldt på EF-markedet, og ikke en faldende eksport.
Since the vast majority of the production is intended to be sold on the Community market, and even though export sales also decreased during the period considered, it is concluded that the major part of the decrease in production is related to injury suffered on the Community market, and not to decreasing exports.
EF-producenternes konstatering hænger i virkeligheden mere sammen med, at de er forhindret i at udnytte deres eksportpotentiale, og det afspejler således den manglende evne til at kompensere for det faldende salg på EF-markedet, dvs. hvor skaden er forvoldt, ved at øge eksporten.
Finally, the assertion made by the Community producers, in fact, merely refers to prevention of exploitation of their export potential, and should therefore be seen as the inability to compensate decreasing sales on the Community market, i.e. where injury is being suffered, by increasing exports.
Påstanden blev derfor afvist, og det konkluderes, at EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater ikke forvoldte nogen væsentlig skade.
The claim was therefore rejected and it is concluded that the export performance of the Community industry did not cause any material injury.
Importen fra tredjelande blev ligeledes undersøgt.
The imports from third countries were also examined.
Nedenstående tabeller viser udviklingen i markedsandele og gennemsnitspriser for de lande, der hver repræsenterede over 2 % af den samlede EF-import i undersøgelsesperioden:
The following tables show the development of the market share and the average prices of the countries each accounting for more than 2 % of the overall Community imports during the IP:
Variation fra 2001 til undersøgelsesperioden (i procentpoint)
Variance 2001/IP (% points)
Gennemsnitspriser (EUR/par sko)
Average prices (EUR/pair)
Variation fra 2001 til undersøgelsesperioden
Variance 2001/IP
Betragtet hver for sig havde ingen af de ovennævnte lande nogen væsentlig stigning i deres markedsandele i den omhandlede periode.
Individually, none of the countries listed above significantly increased their market shares during the period considered.
Det absolutte niveau for deres markedsandel forblev langt under niveauet for de omhandlede lande, og de udviklede sig også forskelligt.
The absolute level of their market share remained far below that of the countries concerned, and they also developed differently.
Det skal påpeges, at de kumulerede markedsandele for de omhandlede lande steg betydeligt fra 9,2 % i 2001 til 22,8 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
It should be recalled that the cumulated market share of the countries concerned increased substantially from 9,2 % in 2001 to 22,8 % during the IP.
Med undtagelse af ét land faldt den gennemsnitlige enhedspris i de øvrige tredjelande i den omhandlede periode.
With the exception of one country, the average unit prices of the other third countries decreased over the period considered.
De faldt dog i et mindre omfang end priserne i de omhandlede lande, men særlig deres absolutte prisniveau i den samlede periode — med én undtagelse — forblev gennemsnitligt langt over dumpingimportens prisniveau.
However, they decreased to a lesser extent compared to the prices of the countries concerned, but especially their absolute price level during the overall period considered remained, with one exception, on average far above the price level of the dumped imports.
Hvad angår importen fra Indonesien var priserne i undersøgelsesperioden lavere end priserne på import fra Vietnam, men dette skal ses på baggrund af Indonesiens faldende markedsandel i forhold til Vietnams voldsomt stigende markedsandel.
In the case of imports from Indonesia, prices were lower than those of imports from Vietnam in the IP, but this has to be seen against a declining market share for Indonesia as opposed to a hugely increasing one for Vietnam.
Priserne på import fra ovennævnte lande var i undersøgelsesperioden gennemsnitligt 30 % højere end priserne på import fra de omhandlede lande.
During the IP, import prices from the above countries were on average 30 % higher than import prices from the countries concerned.
Tredjelandenes individuelle markedsandele steg ikke på samme måde som for de omhandlede lande.
In addition, individually, the third country market shares did not increase similarly to that of the countries concerned.
Man kunne således konkludere, at de øvrige tredjelande var nødt til at følge den faldende pristendens i de omhandlede lande for at kunne opretholde deres markedsandele.
It can therefore even be considered that the other third countries had to follow the decreasing price trends of the countries concerned in order to maintain their level of market shares.
Det konkluderes således på grundlag af ovenstående, at importen fra andre tredjelande ikke havde nogen væsentlig indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
For the above reasons, it is concluded that imports from other third countries did not materially affect the situation of the Community industry.
Ændringer i forbrugsmønster og faldende efterspørgsel
Changes in the patterns of consumption and decline in demand
Importørerne påstod, at den skade, som var forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, skyldtes en nedgang i efterspørgslen i det fodtøjssegment, hvor de traditionelle EF-producenter var specialiseret.
It was claimed by importers that injury suffered by the Community footwear producers was caused by a decrease in demand in the footwear segment in which the traditional Community producers specialised.
Visse eksporterende producenter påstod ligeledes, at forbrugerne på grund af den skiftende mode i stigende grad efterspørger masseproduceret, korttidsholdbart fodtøj af lav kvalitet.
Likewise certain exporting producers claimed that due to changing fashions, consumers nowadays are looking for low quality, disposable and mass marketed footwear.
Der henvises i denne henseende til afsnit 2 ovenfor, hvor det konkluderes, at alle typer af den omhandlede vare og af den samme vare blev betragtet som én og samme vare, og at fodtøj, der produceres i de omhandlede lande eller i Fællesskabet, konkurrerer på alle niveauer af markedet.
In this respect, reference is made to section 2 above where it was concluded that all types of the product concerned and the like product were regarded as forming one single product and that footwear produced in the countries concerned and in the Community compete at all levels of the market.
Enhver påstand vedrørende bestemte typer er således irrelevant, og analysen skal omfatte den omhandlede vare og den samme vare, dvs. alle typer fodtøj med overdel af læder som beskrevet i det relevante afsnit ovenfor.
Any claim regarding certain types is therefore not relevant and the analysis should be carried out at the level of the product concerned and the like product, i.e. all types of footwear with uppers of leather as described in the relevant paragraph above.
Det samlede EF-forbrug af fodtøj med overdel af læder forblev forholdsvis stabilt i den omhandlede periode.
As to the overall Community consumption for the footwear with uppers of leather, it remained relatively stable during the period considered.
Påstandene blev derfor afvist, og det konkluderes, at skaden ikke skyldtes en faldende efterspørgsel.
The claims were therefore rejected and it is concluded that injury was not caused by any decline of demand.
Flere eksporterende producenter og importører påstod, at skaden, der var forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, skyldtes euroens opskrivning i forhold til den amerikanske dollar, der førte til et betydeligt fald i importpriser, eftersom de fleste kinesiske og vietnamesiske fodtøj handles i dollar.
Various exporting producers and importers claimed that the injury suffered by the Community industry was caused by the appreciation of the EURO against the USD which led to significant import price decreases, since allegedly most Chinese and Vietnamese footwear is traded in American dollars (USD).
Der henvises til, at undersøgelsen skal fastslå, om dumpingimporten (med hensyn til priser og mængder) har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, eller om en sådan væsentlig skade kan skyldes andre faktorer.
It is recalled that the investigation has to establish whether the dumped imports (in terms of prices and volume) have caused material injury to the Community industry or whether such material injury was due to other factors.
I denne henseende bestemmes det i grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6, at det skal bevises, at dumpingimportens prisniveau har forvoldt skade.
In this respect, Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation states that it is necessary to show that the price level of the dumped imports cause injury.
Der henvises således blot til en forskel mellem prisniveauer, og der er derfor intet krav om at analysere de faktorer, der påvirker selve niveauet for disse priser.
It therefore merely refers to a difference between price levels, and there is thus no requirement to analyse the factors affecting the level of those prices.
I praksis undersøges dumpingimportens virkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens priser hovedsageligt ved at fastslå, om der foreligger prisunderbud, pristryk eller prisdæmpning.
In practice, the effect of the dumped imports on the Community industry's prices is essentially examined by establishing price undercutting, price depression and price suppression.
Til dette formål sammenlignes dumpingeksportens priser og EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, idet eksportpriserne, der anvendes til skadesberegning, eventuelt skal konverteres til en anden valuta for at opnå sammenlignelige størrelser.
For this purpose, the dumped export prices and the Community industry's sales prices are compared, and export prices used for the injury calculations may sometimes need to be converted into another currency in order to have a comparable basis.
Der anvendes således kun valutakurser i denne kontekst for at sikre, at prisforskellen fastslås på et sammenligneligt grundlag.
Consequently, the use of exchange rates in this context only ensures that the price difference is established on a comparable basis.
Det ses således tydeligt, at valutakursen i princippet ikke kan udgøre endnu en skadesfaktor.
From this, it becomes obvious that the exchange rate can in principle not be another factor of the injury.
Ovenstående bekræftes også af ordlyden i grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 7, der henviser til andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten.
The above is also confirmed by the wording of Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, which refers to known factors other than dumped imports.
Listen over de andre kendte faktorer i denne artikel indeholder således ingen henvisning til nogen faktor, der påvirker dumpingimportens prisniveau. Hvis eksporten foregår til dumpingpriser, og selv om den har nydt godt af en gunstig udvikling i valutakurserne, er det vanskeligt at se, hvorledes sådanne valutakurser kan udgøre en anden skadesfaktor.
The list of the other known factors in this Article does not make reference to any factor affecting the price level of the dumped imports.To summarise, if the exports are dumped, and even if they benefited from a favourable development of exchange rates, it is difficult to see how the development of such exchange rate could be another factor causing injury.
Analysen af de faktorer, der påvirker dumpingimportens prisniveau, uanset om det er valutakurssvingninger eller andet, kan således ikke tillægges afgørende betydning og ville være mere vidtgående end det, der kræves i grundforordningen.
Thus, the analysis of the factors affecting the level of the prices of the dumped imports, be it exchange rate fluctuations or something else, cannot be conclusive and such analysis would go beyond the requirements of the basic Regulation.
Selv om valutakurssvingninger havde en virkning på importpriser, ville det under alle omstændigheder og med forbehold af ovenstående ikke være muligt at adskille og sondre mellem de forskellige valutakurssvingningers virkning, eftersom det ikke vides præcist, i hvilket omfang importen fra de omhandlede varer handles i amerikanske dollar.
In any event, and without prejudice of the above, even if exchange rate fluctuations had an effect on import prices, it would be impossible to separate and distinguish their impact since it is not precisely known to what extent imports from the countries concerned are traded in USD.
Hertil kommer, at de største importører kurssikrer deres finansielle transaktioner i dollar, hvorfor det er meget vanskeligt at fastslå, hvilken valutakurs der skal undersøges.
In addition the biggest importers hedge their USD financial transactions and it is therefore very difficult to determine what would be the relevant exchange-rate to be examined.
Ophævelse af kontingent
Lifting of the quota
Visse parter gjorde gældende, at ophævelsen af importkontingenter primo 2005 ligeledes forvoldte EF-erhvervsgrenen skade.
Certain parties claimed that the lifting of the import quotas at the beginning of 2005 was also a cause of injury to the Community industry.
Det påpeges i denne henseende, at kontingenterne kun vedrørte et af de to omhandlede lande og ikke alle de varer, der er omfattet af denne procedure.
In this respect, it is recalled that the quotas only applied to one of the two countries concerned and not all the products covered by this proceeding.
Desuden er skadesanalysen blevet foretaget over en længere periode, i dette tilfælde i perioden fra 2001 til slutningen af undersøgelsesperioden, hvorfor den ikke kun henviser til perioden umiddelbart efter kontingentet, dvs. første kvartal af 2005.
In addition, the injury analysis has been established over a longer period, in this case between 2001 and the end of the IP, and does therefore not only refer to the post quota period, i.e. the first quarter 2005.
Klagerne har ikke moderniseret tilstrækkeligt, er stærkt fragmenterede og har høje arbejdskraftomkostninger
Complainants have failed to modernise, are highly fragmented and have high labour costs
Visse interesserede parter fremførte det argument, at klagernes dårlige økonomiske situation skyldes det forhold, at de ikke har moderniseret deres produktionsapparat og -metoder, og at skaden skyldtes det forhold, at sektoren er stærkt fragmenteret og ikke konkurrencedygtig i forhold til importen fra lande med lave arbejdskraftomkostninger.
Certain parties argued that the poor economic situation of the complainants is related to the fact that they did not modernise their production facilities and methods, and that the injury was caused by the fact that the sector is highly fragmented and not competitive compared to imports from low labour cost countries.
Det kan kun indrømmes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen er stærkt fragmenteret, og at arbejdskraftomkostningerne i Fællesskabet er højere end i de omhandlede lande.
Indeed, the Community footwear sector is highly fragmented and labour costs in the Community are higher than in the countries concerned.
Der skete imidlertid ingen forøgelse af sektorens fragmenteringsgrad og Fællesskabets arbejdskraftomkostninger i den omhandlede periode.
The degree of fragmentation of the industry and the labour costs in the Community did not, however, increase during the period considered.
Der kan under disse omstændigheder ikke etableres nogen årsagssammenhæng mellem disse faktorer og forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation i den omhandlede periode.
In these circumstances, a causal link between those factors and the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry in the period considered cannot be established.
