I den forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at den samme tendens kunne konstateres for flere indikatorers vedkommende som produktion, kapacitetsudnyttelse, produktivitet og salgsmængde.
In this respect, it should be noted that the same trend was observed in several indicators, such as the production, capacity utilisation, productivity and sales volume.

Rentabiliteten i EU-14 faldt fra 9,4 % i 2000 til 5,3 % i undersøgelsesperioden, hvilket var et fald på 44 indekspoint i den betragtede periode.
The profitability in the EU-14 decreased from 9,4 % in 2000 to 5,3 % in the IP representing a drop of 44 indexed points over the period under examination.
Selv om der var en positiv udvikling efter 2002, kom rentabiliteten ikke op på samme niveau som det, der var nået i 2000, og som anses for at være passende for denne form for virksomhed.
Although it showed a positive development after 2002, its profitability did not recover to levels similar to the one achieved in 2000 which are considered appropriate for this type of industry.
De af stikprøven omfattede EF-producenters investeringer i produktionen af den pågældende vare faldt til halvdelen i den betragtede periode, fra 12 mio. EUR til ca. 6 mio. EUR.
The level of investments in the production of the product concerned made by the sampled Community industry producers decreased by half during the period under examination from EUR 12 million to approximately EUR 6 million.
EF-producenterne i stikprøven havde i perioden fra 2000 til 2001 et positivt afkast af deres investeringer, udtrykt som resultatet før skat i procent af den bogførte gennemsnitlige primo- og ultimonettoværdi af aktiver, der benyttes til produktion af den pågældende vare; dette afspejlede deres nedadgående fortjenstgivende situation.
The sampled Community industry producers' return on investment, which expresses their pre-tax result as a percentage of the average opening and closing net book value of assets employed in the production of the product concerned, was positive during the period 2000 to 2001, reflecting their declining profit making situation.
Efter 2001 blev det fald, der var observeret i 2002, ligesom for rentabilitetens vedkommende genindvundet i 2003 og i undersøgelsesperioden.
As for the period after 2001, similarly as with the profitability, whereas a decrease was observed in 2002, this was subsequently recovered in 2003 and the IP.

Investments in EUR 000
Der var ikke tegn på, at EF-erhvervsgrenen som helhed havde problemer med at rejse kapital til sine aktiviteter.
There were no indications that the Community industry as a whole encountered problems in raising capital for its activities.
EF-producenterne i stikprøven havde en nedadgående nettolikviditet fra driftsaktiviteterne i den betragtede periode.
The sampled Community industry producers recorded a declining net cash inflow from operating activities during the period under examination.

Også i EU-14 havde EF-producenterne i stikprøven en nedadgående nettolikviditet fra driftsaktiviteterne i den betragtede periode.
Also in EU-14, the sampled Community industry producers recorded a declining net cash inflow from operating activities during the period under examination.
Faldet var dog meget kraftigere end faldet i nettolikviditeten udtrykt i procent af omsætningen (4 %) i forhold til deres aktiviteter i hele Fællesskabet.
However this decline was much steeper as was the decline in the net cash inflow expressed as a percentage to turnover (4 %) in relation to their activity in the whole Community.
Gennemsnitslønnen pr. ansat steg med 9 % i den betragtede periode.
Over the period under examination, the average wage per employee increased by 9 %.
Lønningerne forblev stabile i 2000 og 2001, men steg så med 2 % i 2002, og i 2003 og i undersøgelsesperioden steg de yderligere med 5 % og 2 %.
After remaining stable in 2000 and 2001, wages increased by 2 % in 2002 with a further increase of 5 % and 2 % being recorded in 2003 and the IP.
Men med nedgangen i beskæftigelsen var de samlede lønudgifter for EF-producenterne i stikprøven relativt stabile i den betragtede periode.
However, taking into account the reduction in employment, the total wage bill of the sampled Community industry producers remained relatively stable over the period under examination.

Virkningerne på EF-erhvervsgrenen af størrelsen af den faktiske dumpingmargen må i betragtning af mængden og priserne på importen fra Kina siges at være væsentlig.
As concerns the impact on the Community industry of the magnitude of the actual margin of dumping, given the volume and the prices of the imports from the PRC, this impact is substantial.
Overvindelse af følgerne af tidligere dumping
Recovery from past dumping
EF-erhvervsgrenen var ikke i den situation, at den skulle overvinde følgerne af en tidligere skadevoldende dumping.
The Community industry was not in a situation where it had to recover from past effects of injurious dumping.
Undersøgelsen af ovennævnte faktorer viser, at dumpingimporten blev forøget kraftigt mellem 2000 og undersøgelsesperioden, både med hensyn til mængde og markedsandel.
The examination of the above-mentioned factors shows that between 2000 and the IP, the dumped imports increased sharply in terms of volume and market share.
Mængden voksede således med 47 % i den betragtede periode og opnåede en markedsandel på ca. 31 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
Indeed, their volume increased by 47 % during the period under examination and they achieved a market share of approximately 31 % in the IP.
Det skal bemærkes, at den udgjorde omkring 80 % af den samlede import af den pågældende vare til Fællesskabet i undersøgelsesperioden, og den underbød i væsentlig grad (op til maksimalt 60 %) EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser.
It is to be noted that they accounted for approximately 80 % of total imports of the product concerned into the Community in the IP, and they substantially undercut (up to a maximum of 60 %) the sales prices of the Community industry.
Desuden udviklede andre skadesindikatorer sig negativt i den betragtede periode, f.eks. produktion (– 7 %) kapacitetsudnyttelse (– 10 %), salgsmængde (– 10 %), investeringer (– 49 %) og beskæftigelse (– 13 %).
Moreover, other injury indicators, such as production (– 7 %), capacity utilisation (– 10 %), sales in volume (– 10 %), investments (– 49 %) and employment (– 13 %) developed negatively over the period under examination.
Samtidig tabte EF-erhvervsgrenen en del af sin markedsandel.
At the same time the Community industry lost part of its market share.
Faktisk indtog den pågældende import en tre gange så stor markedsandel som den, EF-erhvervsgrenen havde tabt i den betragtede periode.
As a matter of fact, the imports concerned picked-up a three fold additional market share than that lost by the Community industry over the period under examination.
Derfor kan det med rimelighed konkluderes, at den kinesiske import ud over den markedsandel, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har tabt, har overtaget markedsandele fra andre europæiske støberier, som enten har ophørt deres virksomhed eller er gået over til at blive importører/forhandlere.
Therefore, it can be reasonably concluded that the Chinese imports have taken over on top of the market share lost by the Community industry the market share from other European foundries which either have gone out of business, or have been converted into importers/traders.
Dette generelt set negative billede slog kun delvis igennem i den rentabilitet, som EF-erhvervsgrenen kunne udvise.
The overall above negative picture was only partially reflected in the recorded profitability of the Community industry.
Målt i absolutte tal faldt fortjenesten med 18 %.
Measured in absolute terms profits declined by 18 %.
Rentabiliteten (fortjeneste som en procentdel af salgsindtægterne) gik ned fra 12,1 % til 9,9 %.
Profitability (profits as a percentage of sales revenue) went down from a level of 12,1 % to 9,9 %.
I betragtning af det høje underbudsniveau kunne man have forventet større skade.
Against substantial levels of undercutting, one might have expected greater injury.
Men rentabiliteten i sig selv giver ikke et fuldstændigt billede.
However, profitability measured on its own does not represent the complete picture.
EF-erhvervsgrenen havde valget mellem at konkurrere direkte på prisen med den kinesiske import eller forsøge at opretholde prisen på eller tæt på det hidtidige niveau.
The Community industry had a choice of competing head-on in price with the Chinese imports, or trying to maintain prices at or near their historical levels.
For at et prisfald skulle kunne konkurrere direkte med dumpingimporten, skulle det klart være større, end hvad EF-producenterne ville have overvejet, hvis de fortsat skulle opnå fortjeneste.
The degree of price decrease that would have been needed to compete directly with dumped imports would clearly have been in excess of what Community producers would have contemplated if they were to remain profitable.
De sænkede ganske vist prisen en smule, men de forsøgte ikke at afstemme efter prisen på dumpingimporten. De accepterede altså mindre mængder og forsøgte derpå at sænke omkostningerne for at kompensere for mængdetabet.
Although, they reduced prices to some extent, they did not seek to match the prices of dumped imports It follows that they accepted reduced volumes, and then sought to cut costs in order to compensate for the loss volume.
Fortjenesten som en procentdel af salgsindtægterne faldt altså ikke så brat, men der var et fald i salgsmængden og et tab i markedsandel.
Thus, profits as a percentage of sales revenue did not decline so sharply, but this was at the expense of a drop in sales volumes and a loss in market share.
Desuden viste den særlige undersøgelse af situationen i EU-14, at den relativt høje rentabilitet på fællesskabsniveau som helhed i undersøgelsesperioden hovedsageligt skyldtes de meget gode resultater, som visse selskaber i stikprøven havde på markedet i en enkelt af medlemsstaterne, nemlig Frankrig, hvor dumpingimporten var begrænset.
Moreover, the isolated analysis of the situation in the EU-14 revealed that the relatively high profitability at global Community level, during the IP, was mainly due to the particularly good performance of certain sampled companies in the market of one Member State, i.e. France, where the penetration of dumped imports was limited.
De af stikprøven omfattede selskabers finansielle situation som følge af deres aktiviteter i EU-14, hvor dumpingimporten var særligt omfattende, viste en klar, negativ tendens, og det konstateredes, at rentabiliteten var faldet til under 6 %.
The financial situation of the sampled companies resulting from their operations in EU-14, where the penetration of dumped imports was particularly high, showed a clear negative trend and profitability levels were found to have fallen below 6 %.
I EU-14 udviklede hovedparten af skadesindikatorerne sig mere negativt i den betragtede periode, f.eks. produktion (– 14 %) kapacitetsudnyttelse (– 14 %), salgsmængde (– 17 %), investeringer (– 56 %), beskæftigelse (– 16 %), likviditet (– 45 %).
In the EU-14, the majority of injury indicators, such as production (– 14 %), capacity utilisation (– 14 %), sales in volume (– 17 %), investments (– 56 %), employment (– 16 %), cash flow (– 45 %) developed more negatively over the period under examination.
EF-erhvervsgrenen som helhed mistede markedsandel i den betragtede periode på et tidspunkt, hvor dumpingimporten steg væsentligt, både med hensyn til mængde og markedsandel.
The Community industry as a whole lost market share during the period under examination at a time when the dumped imports increased substantially, both in terms of volumes and market share.
For at modstå det stigende pres fra dumpingimporten valgte EF-erhvervsgrenen at forbedre sin produktivitet ved at reducere antallet af ansatte.
Confronted with the increasing pressure from the dumped imports, the Community industry opted for improving its productivity by decreasing its employment.
Samtidig måtte den mindske investeringerne, som faldt kraftigt.
At the same time they had to decrease investments, which fell sharply.
Det blev afspejlet i den måde, visse indikatorer udviklede sig på i den betragtede periode.
This was reflected in the development of certain indicators over the period under examination.
Således udviklede rentabiliteten, ligesom salget og produktionen udtrykt i mængde, sig efter et kraftigt fald i perioden 2000-2002 ret positivt indtil undersøgelsesperioden.
Indeed, profitability, likewise sales, and production in volume after a sharp drop in the period 2000 to 2002 developed rather positively until the IP.
Hvad angår den første periode kan det med rimelighed sluttes, at det voksende pres fra den stadig stigende dumpingimport førte til et lavere aktivitetsniveau og til dårligere resultater for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
With regard to the first period, it can be reasonably assumed that the escalating pressure from the steadily increasing dumped imports led to a lower level of activity and results for the Community industry.
Hvad angår den anden periode viser den relative forbedring af disse indikatorer, at EF-erhvervsgrenen forsøgte at imødegå de negative følger af dumpingimporten for dens finansielle situation på kort sigt; det skete ved at strømline produktionsfaciliteterne for at øge kapacitetsudnyttelsen og ved at reducere investeringer og beskæftigelse for at sænke produktionsomkostningerne.
As for the second period, the relative improvement of these indicators shows the efforts of the Community industry to counteract the negative effects of the dumped imports on its short term financial situation by streamlining production facilities increasing thus capacity utilisation and by reducing investments and employment lowering thus production costs.
Det vil dog udgøre en fare for dens finansielle helbred på lang sigt, eftersom den taber markedsandel og opgiver at foretage de fornødne investeringer til at opretholde eller endog forbedre produktivitet og konkurrenceevne på lang sigt.
This nevertheless endangers its long-term financial health since it is losing market share and renounces to investments necessary to maintain and even improve its long-term productivity and competitiveness.
På baggrund af ovenstående og uagtet den kendsgerning, at det franske marked endnu ikke ser ud til at være ramt så hårdt af dumpingimporten, kan det konkluderes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen som helhed har lidt væsentlig skade.
In the light of the foregoing, and albeit the fact that the French market appears not as yet to have been aggressively targeted by the dumped imports, it can be concluded that the Community industry as a whole has suffered material injury.
Den har lidt under et alvorligt pristryk, har mistet salgsmængder (– 10 %) og markedsandel (– 3,8 %) og har været nødt til at skære i produktionen (– 7 % ).
It has suffered severe price pressure, it has lost sales volumes (– 10 %), market share (– 3,8 %) and has been forced to cut production (– 7 %).
Den har bevaret en vis rentabilitet, men ikke på et niveau, som gør det muligt at investere på lang sigt.
It has retained a certain level of profitability, but not a level which enables investment for the long term to take place.
Dens situation som helhed viser tegn på alvorlig forværring.
Its overall situation has shown signs of severe degradation.
På baggrund heraf konkluderes det, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. artikel 3, stk. 5, i grundforordningen.
On that basis it is concluded that the Community industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
For at nå frem til en konklusion vedrørende årsagen til den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen er konfronteret med, og i overensstemmelse med artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, i grundforordningen har Kommissionen undersøgt virkningerne af alle kendte faktorer og deres følger for den pågældende erhvervsgrens situation.
In order to reach its conclusions on the cause of injury faced by the Community industry and in accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined the impact of all known factors and their consequences on the situation in that industry.
Andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, der samtidig kunne tilføje 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 at the same time could be injuring the Community industry, were also examined to ensure that the possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Dumpingimportens virkninger
Effects of the dumped imports
I den betragtede periode steg dumpingimporten fra Kina betydeligt i mængde (47 %) og i markedsandel (fra 21,0 % i 2000 til 31,1 % i undersøgelsesperioden).
Over the period under examination, dumped imports from the PRC increased considerably in volume (47 %) and in market share (from 21,0 % in 2000 to 31,1 % in the IP).
Dumpingimportpriserne lå under EF-erhvervsgrenens priser i hele den betragtede periode.
The prices of the dumped imports were below those of the Community industry throughout the whole period under examination.
Desuden udøvede de et pres, som tvang EF-erhvervsgrenen til at opretholde sine egne priser på et praktisk taget stabilt niveau, på trods af den væsentlige stigning i omkostningerne til råmaterialer.
Moreover, they exerted a pressure, which forced the Community industry to maintain its own prices practically stable, in spite of the substantial increase in the cost of raw materials.
Priserne på dumpingimporten med oprindelse i Kina lå markant under EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, med underbudsmargener fra 31 % til 60 %.
Prices of dumped imports originating in the PRC significantly undercut Community industry prices with undercutting margins ranging from 31 % to 60 %.
Det bør i den sammenhæng bemærkes, at markedet for støbeemner er et konkurrencepræget, åbent marked.
In this regard, it should be noted that the castings market is a competitive and transparent market.
Et prisunderbud på et marked med disse kendetegn er derfor en ødelæggende faktor, som omleder handelen hen imod kinesisk dumpingimport.
Thus, price undercutting in a market with such characteristics is a detrimental factor that diverts trade towards Chinese dumped imports.
Dumpingimportens virkninger kan også illustreres ved de mange EF-producenter, der besluttede at opgive deres egne produktionslinjer for i stedet at blive importører af støbeemner.
The effects of dumped imports can also be illustrated by the decision of numerous Community producers to discontinue their own production lines and become importers of castings.
Generelt blev EF-erhvervsgrenens tab af markedsandel på 3,8 procentpoint mellem 2000 og undersøgelsesperioden fuldstændigt opslugt af stigningen i markedsandel for dumpingimporten med oprindelse i Kina.
Overall, between 2000 and the IP, the Community industry's loss of market share of 3,8 percentage points is totally absorbed by the increase in market share of dumped imports originating in the PRC.
Det tab i markedsandel, som EF-erhvervsgrenen oplevede, faldt sammen med en negativ udvikling i dens generelle økonomiske situation med hensyn til produktion, produktionskapacitetsudnyttelse, salg, investering og beskæftigelse.
The loss in market share experienced by the Community industry coincided with a number of other negative developments in its overall economic situation in terms of production, production capacity utilisation, sales, investment and employment.
Desuden oplevede EF-erhvervsgrenen et fald i rentabiliteten fra 12,1 % i 2000 til 9,9 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
Moreover, the Community industry experienced a decrease in its profitability which dropped from 12,1 % in 2000 to 9,9 % in the IP.
Disse faktorer og den omstændighed, at EF-erhvervsgrenen på grund af pristrykket ikke var i stand til at øge sine priser for at modvirke den negative virkning af prisstigningen på råmaterialer, havde den virkning, at den trods rationaliseringer og forbedring af produktiviteten havde lidt skade.
These factors, coupled with the fact that the Community industry was not able to increase its prices in order to counteract the negative effect of the price increase of raw materials, due to the price pressure from the dumped imports, had the effect that in spite of rationalisations and improvement of its productivity, it found itself in an injurious situation.
Dumpingimportens øgede markedsandel og prisfaldet faldt sammen med de voldsomme ændringer i vilkårene for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
The expansion of the dumped imports market share and the drop in the prices coincided with the sharp change in the conditions for the Community industry.
En række samarbejdende importører fremførte, at ganske vist er den stigende mængde af kinesisk import til Fællesskabet et direkte resultat af den voksende efterspørgsel efter den pågældende vare, men at markedet for EF-erhvervsgrenen oplevede en generel negativ tendens som følge af nedgangen i efterspørgsel efter støbeemner på telekommunikationsmarkedet i 2002.
A certain number of cooperating importers argued that whereas the increased volume of Chinese imports into the Community is a direct result of the growing demand for the product concerned, the market for the Community industry recorded a general negative trend due to the decline in demand of castings in the telecommunications market in 2002.
Dette marked nåede sit højdepunkt i årene inden 2002, hvilket var med til at fordreje skadesundersøgelsen, eftersom år 2000 og 2001 var exceptionelt gode.
This market reached its maximum development in the years before 2002, distorting thus the injury analysis, since the years 2000 and 2001 were exceptionally good.
Efter 2002 konstateredes der en forbedring af EF-erhvervsgrenens resultater, hvilket vidnede om, at der var tale om en sund erhvervsgren.
As for the period after 2002, an improvement has been registered in the results of the Community industry pointing to a healthy industry.
I den forbindelse bør det for det første bemærkes, at undersøgelsen ikke viste en voksende efterspørgsel, men snarere et stabilt forbrug over for en stadig stigende import i hele den betragtede periode.
In this respect, it should be firstly noted that the investigation did not show a growing demand but rather a stable consumption against steadily increasing imports throughout the period under examination.
Hvad angår indvirkningen af telekommunikationsmarkedet i 2002 slog dette ikke igennem i den kinesiske import af den pågældende vare, som fortsatte med støt at vokse til dumpingpriser.
Regarding the impact of the telecommunications market in 2002, this was not reflected in the Chinese imports of the product concerned which continued steadily growing at dumped prices.
Endvidere blev påstanden ikke underbygget af dokumentation.
Furthermore, the claim was not substantiated with evidence.
Endelig viste undersøgelsen, at EF-erhvervsgrenen led væsentlig skade i den betragtede periode.
Finally, the investigation showed that the Community industry suffered material injury over the period under examination.
Argumenterne blev derfor afvist.
On this basis, the above arguments were rejected.
Importmængderne fra andre tredjelande faldt fra 70600 tons i 2000 til 49000 tons i undersøgelsesperioden, og deres markedsandel fra 12 % i 2000 til 8,5 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
Import volumes from other third countries decreased from 70600 tonnes in 2000 to 49000 tonnes in the IP, their market share decreased from 12 % in 2000 to 8,5 % in the IP.
Det meste af denne import havde oprindelse i Polen, Den Tjekkiske Republik og Indien.
Most of these imports originated in Poland, the Czech Republic and India.
