Da de foreløbige resultater viser, at børnefodtøj skal udskiftes 3 eller 4 gange oftere end andet fodtøj, kan det med rimelig antages, at de absolutte omkostninger for forbrugerne også vil være væsentligt større for dette fodtøj end for andet fodtøj, der er berørt af denne procedure.
Given that the provisional findings indicate that children's shoes have to be replaced three to four times more often than other shoes, it is fair to consider that the absolute cost to consumers will also be substantially higher for these shoes as compared to the other shoes concerned in this proceeding.
Midlertidige foranstaltninger kan således blive til en meget stor byrde for familier med mindre børn.
Provisional measures could thus constitute a very significant burden for families with young children.
Der vil endog være en risiko for, at indførelsen af midlertidige foranstaltninger for dette fodtøj vil skabe ubalance mellem fordele og omkostninger ved foranstaltningerne.
Indeed, the risk would exist that the imposition of provisional measures on these shoes could cross the dividing line between the benefit of such measures and their possible cost.
Af disse årsager konkluderes det på dette foreløbige stadium, at fordelene ved at forhindre skade i den resterende del af denne undersøgelsesperiode gennem indførelsen af midlertidige foranstaltninger for import af børnefodtøj overskygges af de potentielle negative virkninger for forbrugerne.
On those grounds, and at this provisional stage, it is concluded that the benefits that would be obtained by preventing injury for the remainder of this investigation through the imposition of provisional measures on imports of children's shoes is outweighed by its potentially negative effect on consumers.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at foranstaltninger for børnefodtøj ikke vil være i Fællesskabets interesse.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that imposing measures on children's footwear would not be in the interest of the Community.
Dette fodtøj bør derfor foreløbigt ikke være omfattet af midlertidige antidumpingforanstaltninger; der vil blive foretaget en ny grundig undersøgelse af dette spørgsmål, inden der indføres eventuelle endelige foranstaltninger.
They should therefore provisionally be excluded from the scope of provisional anti-dumping measures; this issue will be re-examined in depth before the imposition of any definitive measures.
Distributørernes/detailhandlernes interesser
Interest of the distributors/retailers
Der er kun modtaget et begrænset antal bemærkninger fra distributører/detailhandlere og disses organisationer inden for de fastsatte frister.
Only a limited number of representations were received from distributors/retailers or organisations of distributors/retailers within the given deadlines.
Det drejer sig faktisk kun om et enkelt indlæg fra et konsortium af detailhandlere i en enkelt medlemsstat samt spørgeskemabesvarelser fra tre importører fra samme medlemsstat, der også har deres eget distributionsnet, herunder to supermarkedskæder.
Indeed, only one submission was received from a consortium of retailers from one Member State, and questionnaire replies were received from three importers, from the same Member State, who also have their own distribution network, including two supermarket chains.
Disse virksomheder importerede i undersøgelsesperioden ca. 15 % af den omhandlede vare fra Kina og Vietnam.
Those companies imported around 15 % of the product concerned originating in China and Vietnam during the IP.
Disse parter gjorde gældende, at detailsektoren er en vigtig arbejdsgiver, der vil blive negativt berørt af indførelsen af told.
Those parties claimed that the retail sector is a significant employer that would be negatively affected by any imposition of duties.
De påstod endvidere, at detailhandlerne kun vil kunne overvælte en del af de højere omkostninger, der påløber på grund af antidumpingtolden, på forbrugerne, og at deres økonomiske situation, som i forvejen lider under det dårlige økonomiske klima, vil blive yderligere forværret og således muligvis føre til tab af arbejdspladser.
Indeed, it was claimed that the retailers would be in a position to pass on to consumers only a part of the increasing costs resulting from anti-dumping duties, and that therefore their financial situation, which is already negatively affected by a poor economic situation, will further deteriorate, thus possibly leading to job losses.
Selv om de bemærkninger, man modtog fra detailsektoren inden for undersøgelsens retlige rammer, var begrænsede og kun vedrørte en enkelt medlemsstat, besluttede Kommissionen at gennemføre en indgående analyse i hele Fællesskabet.
Although the comments received from the retail sector within the legal framework of the investigation were limited and referred to only one Member State, the Commission decided to carry out a detailed analysis at the level of the overall Community.
Man noterede sig følgende forhold.
The following elements were noted.
For det første bør det påpeges, at detailsektoren for fodtøj sælger alle typer fodtøj og dermed betydeligt flere typer end dem, de er omfattet af denne procedure.
Firstly, it should be pointed out that the footwear retail sector is concerned by sales of all types of footwear, thus significantly more than just the types of footwear covered by this proceeding.
Desuden sælger distributører/detailhandlere ofte også andre varer.
Furthermore, distributors/retailers are often also involved in sales of other products.
Dette er f.eks. typisk tilfældet med ikke-specialiserede supermarkeder, hvis salg af fodtøj kun udgør en mindre del af den samlede omsætning.
This is for example typically the case of non-specialised supermarkets for which sales of footwear only represent a minor portion of overall sales.
Derfor kan beskæftigelsestallene for detailsektoren ikke uden videre sammenlignes med det antal personer, der er ansat i fremstillingsindustrien.
Therefore, the retail employment figure cannot simply be compared with the number of persons employed in footwear manufacturing activities.
For det andet vurderes det, at detailsektoren reelt kun vil blive negativt berørt, hvis indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger medfører et fald i Fællesskabets forbrug af fodtøj, dvs. hvis detailhandlerne oplever et betydeligt fald i deres omsætning.
Secondly, it is considered that the retail sector would in fact be negatively affected only if the imposition of anti-dumping measures would result in a decrease of the Community consumption of the footwear, i.e. if the retailers would see their turnover decrease significantly.
Selv om deres købspriser måske vil stige som følge af indførelsen af foranstaltninger, vil detailhandlerne nemlig fortsat have mulighed for at overvælte i det mindste en del af denne stigning på forbrugerne for at opretholde en rimelig fortjeneste.
Indeed, even if their purchase price may increase following the imposition of measures, the retailers would still be in a position to pass on, at least partially, this increase to the consumers in order to maintain a reasonable level of profit.
Detailhandlerne vedgår faktisk i deres indlæg, at de vil være i stand til delvist at opsuge en stigning i omkostningerne.
In fact, retailers admit in their submissions that they would be in a position to partially absorb any cost increase.
Der vil derfor kun være tale om negative virkninger for detailhandlerne, hvis sådanne prisstigninger fører til et fald i det antal par sko, forbrugerne køber.
The retailers would in consequence suffer a negative effect only if such price increases would result in a decline of the number of pairs of shoes purchased by the consumers.
På baggrund af konklusionerne ovenfor vedrørende priser anses det dog for usandsynligt, at forbruget vil falde mærkbart.
However, in view of the above conclusions on prices, it is not considered likely that any significant fall in consumption will occur.
Den opfattelse, at foranstaltningerne kun vil få begrænsede virkninger for distributører/detailhandlere, underbygges af det forhold, at disse erhvervsdrivende som regel sælger alle former for fodtøj, ikke kun de omhandlede typer, der har oprindelse i Kina eller Vietnam.
The view that the impact of measures on distributors/retailers will be limited is reinforced by the fact that those operators usually sell all kinds of footwear, and not just the types concerned, of Chinese or Vietnamese origin.
Indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger vil derfor kun berøre en begrænset del af deres købspriser, og denne del vil være forholdsvis lille i forhold til deres samlede udgifter.
Therefore, the imposition of anti-dumping measures would only affect a limited portion of their purchase prices, which would remain relatively small in comparison with their overall expenses.
Herudover distribueres fodtøj i Fællesskabet hovedsagelig gennem følgende tre salgskanaler: uafhængige detailhandlere, mærkevarekæder og ikke-specialiserede supermarkeder.
Furthermore, footwear is mainly distributed in the Community by the following three sales channels: independent retailers, brand retail chains and non-specialised supermarkets.
Der findes også andre kanaler (f.eks. postordrevirksomheder), men de har ikke særlig stor betydning.
Other sales channels also exist (e.g. mail order companies), but they remain rather limited.
Den mere traditionelle distributionskanal består af uafhængige detailhandlere.
Independent retailers represent the more traditional distribution channels.
Disse detailhandlere får sædvanligvis deres leverancer fra grossister i Fællesskabet, og da de har store driftsomkostninger (leje, salgspersonalets lønninger osv.), opererer de som regel med store margener.
Those retailers are usually supplied by wholesalers in the Community, and because of their high operating cost structure (rent, salaries of the sales force, etc.) they usually apply significant margins.
Uafhængige detailhandlere sælger alle former for fodtøj, dvs. med og uden overdel af læder og af alle oprindelser, og derfor forventes deres udbud af den omhandlede vare — i forhold til dettes andel af det samlede salg af fodtøj — at være forholdsvis begrænset.
Independent retailers sell all kinds of footwear, i.e. leather and non-leather uppers from all origins, and therefore their supplies of the product concerned are expected to be relatively limited given the share of the product concerned in overall sales of footwear.
De vil derfor kun i meget begrænset omfang, eller slet ikke, blive berørt af indførelsen af foranstaltninger.
Consequently, they would be affected only in a very limited way, if at all, by the imposition of measures.
Da de som regel får deres leverancer fra grossister, kan det desuden antages, at en del af tolden vil blive opsuget i dette led.
Since they are usually supplied by wholesalers, it can also be assumed that part of the impact of the duties would be absorbed at that level.
Mærkevarekæder foretager deres indkøb af fodtøj centralt og sælger det gennem deres detailforretninger i forskellige byer og undertiden i forskellige lande.
Brand retail chains purchase their footwear centrally, and sell them via their retail stores located in various cities, and sometimes in different countries.
Ingen af disse kæder samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, hvilket kan være et tegn på, at eventuelle foranstaltninger ikke vil indvirke negativt på deres situation.
None of those chains cooperated with the investigation, which may already be an indication that measures would not negatively affect their situation.
Ikke desto mindre bør følgende forhold tages i betragtning.
Nevertheless, the following elements should be taken into consideration.
Da mærkevarekæder køber store mængder, har begrænsede driftsomkostninger og i nogle tilfælde selv importerer varerne direkte, kan de som regel tillade sig at sælge til nedsatte priser.
Because they buy in large quantities and have limited operating costs and sometimes import directly themselves, brand retail chains can generally afford to sell at reduced prices.
De drives nemlig ofte som discountforretninger, ligger uden for byerne og har et begrænset antal ansatte.
Indeed, they often operate as discount stores located out of town, with a limited number of employees.
Da de ønsker at tilbyde fodtøj til relativt lave priser, forsyner de sig måske i større omfang end de uafhængige detailhandlere i de omhandlede lande.
Since they aim at offering relatively low priced footwear, their supplies from the countries concerned may be more important than in the case of the independent retailers.
De sælger dog også alle typer fodtøj, dvs. ikke kun de typer, der er omfattet af undersøgelsen, og en del af deres omsætning består også af andre varer end fodtøj.
However, they also sell all types of footwear, i.e. not just those covered by the investigation, and a part of their turnover also consists of sales of non-footwear products.
Desuden forventes de i kraft af deres store købekraft at kunne skifte til andre leverandører, i det mindste i et vist omfang, og også kun delvist at overvælte en eventuel stigning i omkostningerne på forbrugerne.
In addition, in view of their important purchasing power, they are expected to be able to switch their sources of supply, at least to a certain extent, and also only partly pass on to the consumers any cost increase.
Ligesom uafhængige detailhandlere vil de derfor reelt kun blive alvorligt berørt, hvis deres salgsmængde falder markant som følge af indførelsen af told, hvilket som konkluderet ovenfor er usandsynligt.
Therefore, as in the case of the independent retailers, they would in fact be seriously affected only if their sales volume were to be significantly reduced following the imposition of duties which, as concluded above, is unlikely.
Ikke-specialiserede supermarkeder er en vigtig salgskanal med hensyn til mængde, men mindre med hensyn til værdi.
Non-specialised supermarkets are an important sales channel in terms of volume, but less in terms of value.
De fokuserer nemlig mere på markedets lavprissegment med det formål at sælge store mængder.
Indeed, they focus more on the lower end of the market with the objective to sell significant volumes.
Ikke-specialiserede supermarkeder importerer undertiden selv fodtøj, men de benytter sig for det meste af mellemled i Fællesskabet eller i varernes oprindelsesland.
Non specialised supermarkets sometimes import footwear themselves, but mainly operate through agents in the Community, or in the country of origin of the products.
Fodtøj udgør som regel kun en lille del af supermarkedernes samlede omsætning, og de er uden tvivl meget fleksible med hensyn til valg af leverandører og kan derfor forholdsvist nemt skifte leverandør eller endog øge deres indkøb af fodtøj fremstillet i Fællesskabet.
Footwear usually represents only a minor portion of the supermarkets' overall turnover, and they are certainly very flexible in their choice of suppliers, thus they could relatively easily change their source of supply, or even increase their supplies of Community manufactured footwear.
Af disse årsager forventes foranstaltningerne ikke at få betydelige negative virkninger for den økonomiske situation i denne salgskanal.
For those reasons, it is expected that measures would not have significant adverse effects on the financial situation of that sales channel.
På det mere generelle plan bør det bemærkes, at ifølge de tal, der er indsendt af de samarbejdsvillige importører, er de faldende importpriser i de senere år heller ikke kommet distributører/detailforhandlere til gode.
More generally, it should be noted that, based on the figures submitted by the co-operating importers, distributors/retailers also did not benefit from decreasing import prices in recent years.
De samarbejdsvillige importører oplevede nemlig et fald i deres importpriser på ca. 30 % i gennemsnit i perioden fra 2001 til undersøgelsesperioden, mens deres gennemsnitlige videresalgspriser forblev forholdsvis stabile.
Indeed, while the cooperating importers saw their import prices decrease by around 30 % on average in the 2001 IP, the level of their resale prices remained on average relatively stable.
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderes det, at de foreslåede foranstaltninger sandsynligvis kun vil få begrænsede virkninger for detailhandlere og distributører.
On the basis of the above findings, it is concluded that the impact of the proposed measures on the retailers and distributors is likely to remain limited.
Det bør endvidere bemærkes, at da størstedelen af salget af fodtøj med overdel af læder fortsat udgøres af varer fra EF-producenter, som fortsat er i stand til at tilbyde mange forskellige typer fodtøj med forholdsvis korte leveringsfrister sammenlignet med importerede varer, er det også i detailhandleres og distributørers interesse, at EF-produktionen opretholdes.
It should also be noted that since the majority of the sales of leather uppers footwear is still supplied by the Community producers, which are still in a position to offer a wide variety of types of footwear, and with relatively short delivery times as compared to imported products, it is also in the interest of the retailers and distributors that Community production be maintained.
Ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne EF-importørers interesser
Interest of the unrelated importers in the Community
Der er modtaget spørgeskemabesvarelser fra 33 importører, der i undersøgelsesperioden tegnede sig for ca. 25 % af Fællesskabets import af den omhandlede vare.
Questionnaire replies were received from 33 importers representing, during the IP, around 25 % of the Community imports of the product concerned.
Analysen af importørernes situation er derfor baseret på situationen hos de importører, der indgav pålidelige data inden for de fastsatte frister.
The analysis of the situation of the importers has therefore been based on the situation of those importers that provided reliable data within the given deadlines.
De samarbejdsvillige importører angav, at de indkøbte ca. 70 % af deres varer i de omhandlede lande.
Overall, the cooperating importers sourced around 70 % of their supplies from the countries concerned.
I undersøgelsesperioden var deres gennemsnitlige importpris 9 EUR pr. par sko.
During the investigation period, their average import price was EUR 9/pair.
Det bør bemærkes, at mens denne gennemsnitlige importpris faldt med ca. 30 % i perioden fra 2001 til undersøgelsesperioden i takt med tendensen i Eurostats tal, forblev deres gennemsnitlige videresalgspriser forholdsvis stabile i samme periode.
It should be noted that while this average import price decreased during the 2001 IP, in line with the trend given by the Eurostat data, i.e. by around 30 %, their average resale prices remained relatively stable during the same period.
Disse samarbejdsvillige virksomheder rapporterede en nettofortjeneste (i vejet gennemsnit) på 12 % af deres omsætning, og de indsendte data viser, at de sælger med en gennemsnitlig avance på 125 %.
Those cooperating companies reported a (weighted average) net profit of 12 % of their turnover, and the data submitted showed that they apply an average mark-up of 125 %.
Denne avance var imidlertid meget forskellig fra virksomhed til virksomhed og svingede mellem 20 % og over 200 %.
The level of this mark-up significantly fluctuated, however, amongst the various companies, and ranged between 20 % and more than 200 %.
Blandt de samarbejdsvillige virksomheder kan der endvidere skelnes mellem to kategorier: virksomheder i mellem/højprissegmentet og virksomheder, der er aktive i markedets lavprissegment.
Furthermore, two categories of importers can be identified within the cooperators: those present in the mid/high end of the market, and those active in the lower end of the market.
Den første kategori af importører består hovedsagelig af tidligere EF-producenter, der har flyttet deres fremstillingsvirksomhed til tredjelande, nemlig de omhandlede lande.
The first category of importers mainly consists of former Community producers that delocalised manufacturing to third countries, namely to the countries concerned.
Disse virksomheder har som regel bevaret en betydelig del af deres aktiviteter i Fællesskabet, f.eks. design, forskning og udvikling samt indkøb af råvarer, og i nogle tilfælde har de deres egen distributionskæde.
Those companies usually still keep a significant part of their activities in the Community, e.g. design, R & D, sourcing of the raw material, and sometimes, even have their own distribution chain.
Af disse årsager har de som regel et forholdsvist stort antal ansatte, især sammenlignet med den anden kategori.
For those reasons, they usually employ a relatively large number of persons, particularly compared to the second category.
Disse importører sælger sædvanligvis mærkevarefodtøj til priser, der klart ligger over prisniveauet hos den anden kategori af importører.
These importers usually sell brand footwear, at a level of prices clearly above the level of the second category of importers.
Deres fodtøj distribueres primært gennem uafhængige detailhandlere, men også gennem mærkevarekæder eller gennem deres egne distributører.
Their footwear is mainly distributed via independent retailers, but also sometimes through brand retail chains, or even by their own related distributors.
Da disse virksomheder er aktive i markedets mellem- og højprissegment, er deres importpriser også højere end priserne hos importørerne i lavprissegmentet.
Since those companies are present in the mid/high-end of the market, their import price is also higher than that of the importers active in the lower end of the market.
De samarbejdsvillige importører i mellem- og højprissegmentet rapporterede en gennemsnitlig købspris på ca. 11 EUR pr. par sko.
On average, the cooperating importers active in the mid/high-end of the market reported an average purchase price of around EUR 11/pair.
Det bør bemærkes, at de sælger med en meget stor avance, der i gennemsnit lå på ca. 200 %.
It should be noted that the mark-up they apply is very significant and, was on average around 200 %.
Med andre ord lå deres videresalgspriser på over 30 EUR pr. par sko i gennemsnit.
In other words their resale prices were on average above EUR 30/pair.
Dette avanceniveau er begrundet i den værditilvækst, de skaber i Fællesskabet (særlige designomkostninger, udgifter til FoU osv.), men også i de betydelige udgifter, de har i forbindelse med markedsføring og branding.
Such level of mark-up is explained by the added value they generate in the Community (specific costs related to design, sourcing R & D, etc.), but also by their significant expenses related to marketing and brand.
De rapporterede i gennemsnit en fortjenstmargen på ca. 10 % af deres omsætning.
On average, they reported a profit margin of around 10 % of their turnover.
Den anden kategori af importører fokuserer mere på mængde og består hovedsagelig af grossister og også til dels af ikke-specialiserede supermarkeder.
The second category of importers focuses more on volume, and mostly consists of wholesalers or even sometimes non-specialised supermarkets.
Det viste sig ved gennemgangen af besvarelserne fra importører i lavprissegmentet, at deres gennemsnitlige importpris var 6 EUR pr. par sko.
An examination of responses of lower-end importers showed that their import price was on average EUR 6/pair.
Af undersøgelsen fremgik det, at de solgte med en avance på 75 % i undersøgelsesperioden, og at deres fortjenstmargen i gennemsnit lå på 17 % af deres omsætning.
The investigation revealed that they applied a mark-up of 75 % during the IP and reported, on average, a profit margin of 17 % of their turnover.
Dette skyldes, at de har lave strukturomkostninger, at der er lav værditilvækst i Fællesskabet, men også at deres salgsomkostninger er begrænsede.
This is explained by the fact that they have low structure costs, and low added value in the Community, but also have more limited selling expenses.
Disse virksomheder har desuden et mere begrænset antal ansatte, nemlig under 10 pr. virksomhed i gennemsnit ifølge de samarbejdsvillige virksomheder.
These companies also employ a more limited number of staff, i.e. on average less than 10 per company according to the co-operators.
