Der skete en forværring af likviditeten mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden, selv om der var visse svingninger, fortrinsvis på grund af svingende lagerbeholdninger.
The cash flow deteriorated between 2001 and the IP, although there are some fluctuations due mainly to stock variations.
De to nye selskabers likviditet var særlig stærkt svingende, da de startede deres aktiviteter på et tidspunkt, som faldt sammen med hurtigt skiftende markedsforhold.
For the two new companies the cash flow experienced particularly strong fluctuations due to the starting of operations which coincided with a rapidly changing market situation.
For alle selskabers vedkommende skyldtes det faldende afkast af investeringer og den faldende likviditet, at de gennemsnitlige salgspriser faldt hurtigere end de gennemsnitlige omkostninger for solgte varer.
For all the companies, the falling return on investments and cash flow resulted from the fact that average sales prices were falling more quickly than the average costs for products sold.
EF-erhvervsgrenen vedblev med at have et højt investeringsniveau i hele den betragtede periode, og der var endog tale om en stigning i forhold til 2001 for de fem etablerede selskaber.
The Community industry has maintained a high level of investment throughout the period considered and there was even an increase compared to 2001 for the five established companies.
Investeringerne vedrørte i overvejende grad modernisering, udskiftning af forældet udstyr og tekniske ajourføringer som følge af miljølovgivningen.
These investments were mostly related to modernisation, replacement of obsolete equipment and technical upgrades required by environmental legislation.
De to nye selskabers faste investeringer var især mærkbare i 2001 og i undersøgelsesperioden.
As for the fixed investments of the two new companies, they are felt mostly in 2001 and the IP.
EF-erhvervsgrenens evne til at rejse kapital enten fra eksterne finansieringskilder eller moderselskaber var dog ikke væsentligt påvirket i den betragtede periode.
The Community industry’s ability to raise capital, either from external providers of finance or parent companies, was not found to be seriously affected during the period considered.
I de fleste tilfælde, især de to nye selskabers, skyldtes det, at selskaberne tilhører større grupper, som anskuer forretningerne i et mere langsigtet perspektiv og tror på, at det vil være muligt at komme ud af den vanskelige situation, som erhvervsgrenen befinder sig i.
In most cases, particularly those of the two new companies, this was because the companies belong to larger groups, who take a longer term view of the business and believe that a recovery from the current difficult situation in which the industry finds itself will be possible.
Følgende tabel viser udviklingen i beskæftigelse, produktivitet og arbejdskraftomkostninger hos de syv EF-producenter, der blev undersøgt.
The following table gives the evolution of employment, productivity and labour costs in the seven Community producers investigated.
Arbejdskraftsomkostninger
Labour costs
Som det fremgår af ovenstående, steg antallet af ansatte hos de syv undersøgte EF-producenter mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden.
As seen above, the number of employees in the seven Community producers investigated increased between 2001 and the IP.
Stigningen skyldes som nævnt i punkt 5.1 og 5.3, at tallene omfatter to selskaber, som startede produktionen i den betragtede periode, men ikke omfatter de fire EF-producenter, som indstillede virksomheden i samme periode.
This increase is due, as mentioned in paragraphs 5.1 and 5.3, to the fact that these figures include two companies who started production during the period considered and do not take into account the four Community producers who ceased production during the same period.
Alligevel var et fald i beskæftigelsen ved at blive mærkbart hen imod udgangen af undersøgelsesperioden.
Even so, a decline in employment levels was beginning to be felt towards the end of the IP.
Produktiviteten var forholdsvis stabil i den betragtede periode med en mindre generel stigning mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden.
Productivity was relatively stable over the period, with a slight overall increase between 2001 and the IP.
Omkostningerne til arbejdskraft steg mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden trods visse svingninger.
Labour costs increased between 2001 and the IP, despite some fluctuations.
Svingningerne skyldtes midlertidige omkostninger forbundet med omstrukturering i nogle af selskaberne.
These fluctuations were due to temporary costs associated with restructuring in some of the companies.
Dumpingmargenerne er angivet i afsnittet om dumping.
The dumping margins are specified above in the dumping section.
Dumpingmargenerne ligger klart over ubetydelighedsgrænsen.
These margins are clearly above de minimis.
I betragtning af størrelsen af og priserne på dumpingimporten kan virkningerne af de faktiske dumpingmargener ikke anses for at være ubetydelige.
Furthermore, given the volume and the price of the dumped imports, the impact of the actual margin of dumping cannot be considered to be negligible.
Det skal erindres, at importmængden fra Kina er steget betydeligt, både udtrykt i mængde og markedsandel.
It is recalled that import volumes from the PRC have increased considerably, both in volume terms and market share.
Den gennemsnitlige enhedspris på den pågældende import faldt desuden næsten 50 %, hvilket er afspejlet i det prisunderbud, der konstateredes i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Furthermore, the average unit price of those imports decreased by almost 50 %, which is reflected in the price undercutting found in the investigation.
Selv om salgsmængde og markedsandel i Fællesskabet for de syv undersøgte selskaber steg, vedblev de med at være forholdsvis stabile, hvis de to nytilkommende selskaber ikke medregnes.
While sales volumes and market share in the Community increased for the seven companies investigated, they remained relatively stable if the two newcomer companies are not included.
På den anden side led EF-erhvervsgrenen gennemsnitlige prisfald på 51 % i den betragtede periode.
On the other hand, the Community industry suffered average price decreases of 51 % in the period considered.
Uanset faldet i priserne på råmaterialer og bestræbelserne for at øge produktiviteten blev fortjenstniveauerne stærkt negative i undersøgelsesperioden.
Notwithstanding the decline in the prices of raw materials and the efforts made to increase productivity, profit levels became strongly negative in the IP.
Den forværring, der skete af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation i den betragtede periode, bekræftes også ved den negative udvikling i indikatorerne vedrørende kapacitetsudnyttelse, lagerniveauer, afkast af investeringer og likviditet.
The deteriorating situation of the Community industry in the period considered is also confirmed by the negative development of indicators regarding capacity utilisation, stock levels, return on investment and cash-flow.
Det skal også bemærkes, at fire EF-producenter har indstillet produktionen i løbet af de seneste år.
It has also to be noted that four Community producers went out of business in recent years.
Selv om der også er to nye producenter, som har startet deres virksomhed siden 2001, har disse etableret sig på grundlag af forretningsplaner, hvor der var taget hensyn til det stigende forbrug i Fællesskabet.
While two new producers have also commenced trading since 2001, these producers have been established on the basis of business plans that were taking account of the growing consumption in the Community.
Det konstateredes imidlertid, at selskabernes situation med hensyn til tendenser i priser, rentabilitet og afkast af investeringer svarede til de øvrige EF-producenters.
However, it was found that, in terms of the trends in prices, profitability, and return on investments the situation of these companies is comparable to that of the other Community producers.
Ovennævnte negative udvikling fandt sted på et tidspunkt med en temmelig stabil produktivitet, øgede investeringer og stigende forbrug i Fællesskabet.
The above negative developments occurred at a time of fairly stable productivity, increased investments and expanding EC consumption.
På baggrund af alle disse indikatorer er konklusionen, at EF-erhvervsgrenen led væsentlig skade i undersøgelsesperioden, jf. artikel 3 i grundforordningen.
Bearing in mind all indicators it is concluded that the Community industry suffered material injury during the IP within the meaning of Article 3 of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, i grundforordningen blev det undersøgt, om der var en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether there was a causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, som på samme tid kunne have forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade, blev undersøgt for at sikre, at skade forvoldt af sådanne faktorer ikke blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Community industry, were also examined to ensure that the possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Følgevirkninger af importen fra Kina
Impact of the imports from the PRC
Mængden af importerede varer fra Kina steg 56 % og dens markedsandel 3 procentpoint i den betragtede periode.
Volumes of imports from the PRC increased by 56 % and their market share increased by 3 percentage points during the period considered.
Priserne på importerede varer fra Kina faldt desuden ca. 50 %, og der forekom betydelige prisunderbud.
In addition, the prices of imports from the PRC fell by around 50 % and substantial price undercutting took place.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var tvunget til at reagere imod denne import og sænke priserne sideløbende med 53 % for at opretholde salget.
The Community industry was forced to react to these imports by lowering its prices in parallel by 53 %, in order to maintain its sales volume.
Faldet i omkostningerne til råmaterialer var ikke tilstrækkeligt til at forhindre et fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet på omkring 8 % til et negativt tal på ca. – 6 %.
The reduction in the costs of raw materials was not enough to prevent a decline in the profitability of the Community industry of around 8 % to a negative figure of around – 6 %.
Rentabiliteten lå langt under, hvad der kunne forventes i denne type industri, men var frem for alt negativ og således ikke længere holdbar.
This profitability was well below that expected for this type of industry but, most of all, being negative,is no longer sustainable.
Den foreløbige konklusion er derfor, at presset fra dumpingimporten, hvis mængde og markedsandel voksede betydeligt fra og med 2001, og som blev solgt til stærkt faldende dumpingpriser, spillede en afgørende rolle med hensyn til at forårsage prisfald og pristryk for EF-erhvervsgrenen og som følge heraf en forværring af dens finansielle situation.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the pressure exerted by the dumped imports, which significantly increased their volume and market share from 2001 onwards, and which were made at sharply decreasing, dumped prices, played a determining role in the price decreases and price depression for the Community industry and, as a consequence, its negative profitability and ensuing deteriorating financial situation.
Følgevirkninger af importen fra andre tredjelande
Impact of imports from third countries
Ud over Kina var Argentina og Chile de to næststørste leverandører af vinsyre til fællesskabsmarkedet.
Apart from the PRC, the two next largest suppliers of tartaric acid to the Community market were Argentina and Chile.
Argentinas markedsandel
Market share of Argentina
Salgspris pr. enhed i Argentina (EUR/tons)
Argentina unit selling price (EUR/tonne)
Chiles markedsandel
Market share of Chile
Salgspris pr. enhed i Chile (EUR/tons)
Chile unit selling price (EUR/tonne)
Andre landes markedsandel
Market share of other countries
Salgspris pr. enhed i andre lande (EUR/tons)
Other countries unit selling price (EUR/tonne)
Tallene viser, at alle andre leverandører end Kina tilsammen kun tegnede sig for 2,5 % af forbruget i Fællesskabet, og at deres markedsandel faldt mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden.
These figures show that all suppliers other than the PRC accounted together for only 2,5 % of Community consumption and that their market share declined between 2001 and the IP.
Deres gennemsnitspriser var også højere end Kinas, selv om de argentinske priser faldt til et temmelig lavt niveau i undersøgelsesperioden.
Their average prices were also higher than those of the PRC, although Argentinean prices dropped to a rather low level in the IP.
Presset fra den kinesiske import til markedet har helt sikkert spillet en rolle for faldet i priserne på varer fra disse eksportlande.
The pressure of Chinese imports on the market is certain to have played a role in the drop in the prices of these exporting countries.
På baggrund af ovenstående fastslås det, at udviklingen i importen af varer med oprindelse i andre tredjelande som Argentina og Chile ikke var tilstrækkelig omfattende til, at den kunne have bidraget til den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
In view of the above, it is considered that the evolution of imports originating in other third countries such as Argentina and Chile were not sufficiently important to have contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Følgevirkningerne af lovgivningsmæssige bestemmelser
Impact of the regulatory framework
Flere interesserede parter bemærkede, at erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet er påvirket af EF’s lovgivningsmæssige bestemmelser, som fastsætter en mindsteindkøbspris for de vigtigste råmaterialer såvel som en salgspris for alkohol som led i den fælles landbrugspolitik i denne sektor.
Some interested parties have pointed out that the industry’s profitability is affected by the EC regulatory framework, which establishes a minimum purchasing price for the main raw materials as well as a selling price for alcohol, as part of the Common Agricultural Policy in this sector.
De lovgivningsmæssige parametre kan have påvirket erhvervsgrenens situation som helhed, men de vedblev med at være stabile i hele perioden og har således ikke haft indflydelse på forværringen i erhvervsgrenens situation.
While the regulatory parameters may influence the situation of the industry as a whole, they have remained stable throughout the period and cannot account for the deterioration in the industry’s situation.
Følgevirkninger af EF-erhvervsgrenens eksport
Impact of exports by the Community industry
I undersøgelsesperioden blev omkring 25 % af EF-erhvervsgrenens produktion eksporteret til lande uden for EU.
During the IP around 25 % of Community industry production volume was exported outside the Community.
Eksporten steg en smule i den betragtede periode.
The volume of exports increased slightly over the period considered.
Rentabiliteten af denne eksport var noget højere end af salget på fællesskabsmarkedet, selv om eksporten også var udsat for faldende priser og konkurrence fra kinesisk eksport til tredjelandes markeder.
It was found that the profitability of these exports was somewhat higher than that of sales on the Community market, despite the fact that they had also suffered from declining prices and competition from Chinese exports to third country markets.
På baggrund af ovenstående fastslås det, at udviklingen i eksportresultaterne ikke kan have været en væsentlig årsag til den skade, der forvoldtes EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In view of the above it is considered that the evolution of export performance cannot have been a substantial cause of the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Følgevirkninger af andre EF-producenters salg
Impact of sales by other Community producers
Andre EF-producenters salg, herunder producenter, som indstillede virksomheden i den betragtede periode, faldt stærkt mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden.
Sales by other Community producers, including those who went out of business during the period considered, have decreased sharply between 2001 and the IP.
Den skade, der forvoldtes EF-erhvervsgrenen, kan derfor ikke tilskrives dette salg.
Accordingly, those sales cannot have been responsible for the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Det skal understreges, at der i dette tilfælde først og fremmest blev forvoldt skade i form af pristryk, som førte til reduceret rentabilitet.
It must be underlined that the injury in this case was primarily in the form of price depression causing reduced profitability.
Dette faldt sammen med den hastigt stigende import til dumpingpriser fra Kina og et stort underbud af EF-erhvervsgrenens priser.
This coincided with the rapidly increasing imports at dumped prices from the PRC which undercut substantially the Community industry prices.
Intet tyder på, at ovennævnte andre faktorer kunne have været en betydelig årsag til den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes EF-erhvervsgrenen.
There is no indication that the above-mentioned other factors could have been a significant cause of the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
I løbet af undersøgelsen blev der ikke fundet andre faktorer, som kunne have forårsaget væsentlig skade.
No further other factors have been found in the course of the investigation that could have caused material injury.
På grundlag af ovenstående analyse af virkningerne af alle kendte faktorer for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation konkluderes det foreløbigt, at der er en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Based on the above analysis of the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry, it is provisionally concluded that there is a causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Det er blevet undersøgt, om der var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke ville være i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre antidumpingtold på importen fra det pågældende land.
It has been examined whether compelling reasons exist that could lead to the conclusion that it would not be in the Community interest to impose anti-dumping duties against imports from the country concerned.
Kommissionen sendte spørgeskemaer til importører, forhandlere og industrielle brugere.
The Commission sent questionnaires to importers, traders and industrial users.
Der blev modtaget en delvis besvarelse af spørgeskemaet fra to brugere.
Partial replies to the questionnaire were received from two users.
Andre brugere besvarede ikke spørgeskemaet, men tilkendegav deres synspunkter skriftligt.
Other users did not submit a reply to the questionnaire but made their views known in writing.
På grundlag af oplysninger fra de samarbejdsvillige parter blev der draget følgende konklusioner.
On the basis of the information received from the co-operating parties, the following conclusions were reached.
Det skal nævnes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen bestod af syv producenter, som beskæftiger over 200 mennesker i forbindelse med produktion og salg af den pågældende vare.
It is recalled that the Community industry consisted of seven producers employing over 200 people in the production and sale of the product concerned.
De økonomiske indikatorer for EF-erhvervsgrenen viste også forværrede økonomiske resultater i den betragtede periode, som førte til, at fire EF-producenter indstillede virksomheden i de seneste år.
It is also recalled that the economic indicators of the Community industry showed deteriorating financial results during the period considered, leading to the closure of four Community producers in recent years.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, er der sandsynlighed for, at EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation efter pristrykket fra dumpingimporten fortsat vil blive dårligere, og flere EF-producenter vil blive tvunget til at standse produktionen med negative følgevirkninger for en mere omfattende del af vinsektoren (se nedenfor).
If measures are not imposed it is likely that following the price pressure from the dumped imports, the financial situation of the Community industry will continue to deteriorate and more Community producers will be forced to cease production, with adverse consequences for the broader wine-making sector (see below).
Hvis der derimod indføres foranstaltninger, kan det forventes, at priser og rentabilitet vil nå et mere holdbart niveau, og at den europæiske industris økonomiske levedygtighed vil være sikret.
If however measures are imposed, it can be expected that prices and profitability will reach a more sustainable level, and that the economic viability of the European industry will be ensured.
Det er derfor klart, at det vil være i EF-erhvervsgrenens interesse at indføre antidumpingforanstaltninger.
It is therefore clear that anti-dumping measures would be in the interests of the Community industry.
To leverandører af råmaterialer skrev til Kommissionen og gav udtryk for støtte til proceduren.
Two suppliers of raw materials wrote to the Commission in support of the proceeding.
Flere af klagerne har også forretningsmæssigt forbundne selskaber i vinindustrien, og de benyttede lejligheden til at give udtryk for de pågældende selskabers interesse i undersøgelsen.
Some of the complainants also have related companies in the wine industry, and took the opportunity of expressing the interest of those companies during the investigation.
Alle parter understregede vinsyreindustriens økonomiske betydning for vinproducenterne i Fællesskabet.
All these parties stressed the economic importance of the tartaric acid industry from the point of view of the Community wine-makers.
Vinindustrien har for det første brug for en pålidelig kilde, der kan levere vinsyre af garanteret kvalitet.
First, the wine industry needs a reliable source of tartaric acid of guaranteed quality.
Vinsyreindustrien er for det andet en vigtig indtægtskilde i vinsektoren, da den anvender biprodukter som piquettevin og vinbærme.
Second, by using such by-products as wine marc and wine lees, the tartaric acid industry is a significant source of income for the wine sector.
Denne sektor er omfattet af den fælles landbrugspolitik og er i øjeblikket i alvorlige økonomiske vanskeligheder.
It is recalled that this sector is covered by the Common Agricultural Policy and is currently experiencing serious economic difficulties.
Hvis der ikke er nogen levedygtig vinsyreindustri i Fællesskabet, vil vinsektoren for det tredje blive tvunget til at afholde yderligere omkostninger for at kunne råde over de pågældende biprodukter i en situation med stadigt strengere miljøbestemmelser.
Third, should there be no viable tartaric acid industry in the Community, the wine sector would be forced to incur extra costs in order to dispose of those by-products in the face of ever more stringent environmental regulations.
Konklusionen er derfor, at det vil være i fællesskabsleverandørernes interesse, at der indføres antidumpingforanstaltninger.
It is therefore concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would be in the interests of Community suppliers.
Der blev i første omgang sendt spørgeskemaer til alle parter, der er nævnt som brugere i klagen.
Questionnaires were initially sent to all the parties named as users in the complaint.
Oplysninger indhentet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen gav Kommissionen mulighed for at identificere de vigtigste industrisektorer, hvor der anvendes vinsyre.
Information obtained during the investigation has allowed the Commission to identify the most important industrial sectors which use tartaric acid.
Der blev derfor også sendt spørgeskemaer til en række fødevare-, drikkevare- og gipsproducenter samt til den europæiske sammenslutning af farmaceutindustriforeninger.
As a result, additional questionnaires were sent to a number of food, drink and gypsum producers, as well as to the pharmaceutical industries’ federation.
