Importen fra andre tredjelande forblev desuden relativt stabil med en markedsandel på 15 %.
Moreover, imports from other third countries remained at a rather stable level, at 15 % of market share.
Der var således en betydelig konkurrence på EF-markedet, og der er ikke grund til at forvente ændringer på det område.
There was thus substantial competition on the Community market and there is no reason to expect that this would change.
Argumentet om, at EF-erhvervsgrenen skulle opnå en dominerende stilling, må derfor afvises.
The argument concerning the alleged dominant position of the Community industry has therefore to be rejected.
Efter forelæggelsen af resultaterne hævdede en række af de berørte parter, at opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne ville skabe en situation med konkurrencebegrænsning, hvor EF-erhvervsgrenen ville få en dominerende stilling.
Subsequent to disclosure of the findings, a number of interested parties insisted that the continuation of the measures would create an anti-competitive situation, whereby the Community industry would enjoy a dominant position.
I den forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at der i forbindelse med undersøgelsen ikke blev fundet tegn på, at foranstaltningerne ud over at reducere effekten af den skadevoldende dumping har ændret konkurrencesituationen til fordel for EF-erhvervsgrenen i væsentlig grad.
In this respect, it is to be noted that no indication was found during the investigation that the existence of the measures, apart from reducing the effects of injurious dumping, has significantly modified the competitive situation in favour of the Community industry.
Importen fra de pågældende lande er derimod rent faktisk steget, og import fra andre tredjelande udgør fortsat en betydelig del af EF-markedet.
On the contrary, imports from the countries concerned have even increased and imports from other third countries continue to represent a substantial share of the Community market.
Der synes derfor ikke at være argumenter for, at en opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne kunne forringe konkurrencesituationen på EF-markedet.
Therefore, no element seems to indicate that a continuation of the measures could cause a deterioration of the competitive situation in the Community market.
Påstanden om, at det er besværligt for forhandlerne at få adgang til importeret kaliumchlorid, blev ikke dokumenteret.
As regards the alleged difficult access for traders to imported potash, this claim was not substantiated.
Derfor måtte dette argument afvises.
Thus, this claim had to be rejected.
Det bør også bemærkes, at importørerne og forhandlerne af kaliumchlorid ofte også importerer andre varer.
It should also be noted that importers (traders) of potash often also import other products.
Visse importørers forretning er ganske vist hovedsagelig lagt an på kaliumchlorid, men der findes også importører, hvis handel med kaliumchlorid kun udgør 10 % af deres forretningsaktiviteter.
Although some importers focus their business on potash, for other importers the potash business accounts for as little as 10 % of their business.
Derudover er der importører, der fokuserer på kaliumchlorid på nuværende tidspunkt, som har oplyst, at de muligvis vil begynde at fokusere på andre varer, der efterspørges af deres kunder, navnlig andre former for gødning.
In addition, importers currently focusing on potash have indicated that they could switch their focus to other products demanded by their customer base, primarily other fertilisers.
Efter forelæggelsen af resultaterne hævdede en af importørerne og en af importørsammenslutningerne dog, at visse importører er stærkt afhængige af import af kaliumchlorid fra Belarus og næppe ville kunne skifte til andre leverandører, hvis foranstaltningerne blev opretholdt.
Subsequent to disclosure of the findings, however, one importer and one importers’ association claimed that certain importers are heavily depending on imports of potash from Belarus and would hardly be able to switch to other sources of supply in case the measures were maintained.
Det konstateredes dog, at et skifte til andre leverandører, f.eks. EF-erhvervsgrenen eller import fra andre lande end Belarus, rent faktisk er en mulighed for importørerne.
It was found, however, that a shift to other sources of supply, e.g. the Community industry or imports from countries other than Belarus, is indeed a possibility available to importers.
Selv om dette skifte til en vis grad kan påvirke disse importørers økonomiske og finansielle resultater, findes det, at deres fortjeneste ikke ville blive påvirket i en grad, der bevirker, at deres levedygtighed på langt sigt undermineres.
Although this shift may have some impact on the economic and financial results of these importers, it is considered that their level of profitability would not be affected so substantially as to undermine their long term viability.
På baggrund af alle de argumenter, som importørerne har fremsat, konkluderes det, at antidumpingforanstaltningernes påvirkning af importørernes finansielle situation er relativt begrænset.
In view of all arguments brought forward by importers, it is concluded that the effects of the anti-dumping measures on the financial situation of importers are relatively limited.
På grundlag af de verificerede besvarelser af spørgeskemaerne blev det rent faktisk konstateret, at importørernes rentabilitet indtil videre ikke er blevet negativt påvirket af de eksisterende antidumpingforanstaltninger.
Indeed, on the basis of the verified questionnaire replies, it was found that the profitability of the importers has not been negatively influenced by the existing anti-dumping measures so far.
Der er ingen grund til at tro, at denne situation ville blive ændret betragteligt, hvis foranstaltningerne opretholdes.
There are no reasons to believe that this situation would substantially change if measures are maintained.
Det konkluderes derfor, at opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne ikke vil påvirke importørernes og forhandlernes situation i nævneværdig grad.
It is therefore concluded that a continuation of the measures would not have a substantial impact on the situation of importers (traders).
Landbrugere
Farmers
Det var ikke muligt at etablere et samarbejde med landbrugerne, som bruger kaliumchlorid direkte som gødning, selv om deres repræsentative organisation blev tilsendt et spørgeskema.
No cooperation was obtained from the direct users of potash as a fertiliser (farmers), although their representative organisation received a questionnaire.
En landbrugsorganisation i en af medlemsstaterne gjorde dog gældende, at antidumpingtold vil skade landbrugernes stilling på et konkurrencepræget marked, hvor importprisen på input som f.eks. gødning reguleres, mens priserne på importerede fødevarer ikke reguleres.
One farmer’s association of a Member State, however, argued that anti-dumping duties would harm the position of the farmers in a competitive market where import prices of inputs like fertilisers are regulated while prices of imported foodstuffs are not.
Dette argument må dog afvises, da antidumpingforanstaltningerne ikke vedrører overordnede spørgsmål inden for landbrugspolitik.
This argument has to be rejected because anti-dumping measures do not deal with overall questions concerning agricultural policy.
Antidumpingundersøgelserne har kun til formål at genetablere en situation med fair handel, efter at der er blevet foretaget skadevoldende dumping.
Anti-dumping investigations only aim at re-establishing a situation of fair trade following an act of injurious dumping.
Idet der ikke foreligger andre veldokumenterede argumenter og tegn på, at de eksisterende antidumpingforanstaltninger vil have negative konsekvenser for landbrugerne, må det konkluderes, at opretholdelsen af antidumpingtolden ikke vil få betydelige negative konsekvenser for landbrugerne.
In the absence of any other substantial argument and of any indication that the existing anti-dumping measures would have had a negative effect on farmers, it is to be concluded that the continuation of anti-dumping duties will not have a major negative impact for farmers.
Gødningsfabrikanter
Fertiliser manufacturers
De brugere, der besvarede spørgeskemaet, var alle gødningsfabrikanter, som køber kaliumchlorid fra EF-erhvervsgrenen og også importerer fra de pågældende lande eller fra tredjelande.
The users submitting questionnaire replies were all fertiliser manufacturers who buy potash from the Community industry and also import it from the countries concerned or from third countries.
For dem er kaliumchlorid et råmateriale, der anvendes ved fremstillingen af gødningsstoffer, som ofte består af tre forskellige næringsstoffer: nitrogen, fosfor og kaliumchlorid (NPK-gødning eller sammensat gødning).
For them, potash is a raw material for producing fertilisers that often consist of three different nutrients: nitrogen, phosphate and potash (NPK-fertilisers or compound fertiliser).
For dem er kaliumchlorid et af elementerne i de samlede omkostninger til fremstilling af slutproduktet, og det udgør mellem 15 og 30 % af produktionsomkostningerne.
This means that potash is one of the cost elements for their final products, representing between 15 and 30 % of the production cost.
I den betragtede periode var der mellem 2002 og 2003 et betydeligt fald i produktionsomkostningerne for gødning, der indeholder kaliumchlorid, efterfulgt af en beskeden stigning i undersøgelsesperioden, uden at omkostningerne dog nåede op på det fremherskende niveau i 2001.
During the period considered the production costs of fertilisers containing potash significantly decreased in 2002 and 2003, followed by a moderate increase during the IP, without reaching the levels prevailing in 2001.
Det kan derfor konkluderes, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne for kaliumchlorid ikke var af større betydning for gødningsfabrikanternes omkostningsstruktur.
It can therefore be concluded that the anti-dumping measures on potash did not have a significant impact on the cost structure of the fertiliser manufacturers.
De fleste af disse brugere argumenterede på samme måde som importørerne mod opretholdelsen af foranstaltningerne.
Most of these users argued in the same manner against the continuation of measures as the importers.
Der var dog en gødningsfabrikant, der understregede, at det ville være i hans interesse, hvis der også i fremtiden fandtes kaliumchloridproducenter både inden for og uden for Fællesskabet.
However, one fertiliser producer pointed out that it would be in its interest to have potash producers both inside and outside the Community also in the future.
Gødningsfabrikanterne i Fællesskabet gjorde også gældende, at fordi de konkurrerende gødningsfabrikanter i tredjelande ikke skal betale antidumpingtold, når de køber kaliumchlorid, er fabrikanterne i Fællesskabet ikke i stand til at konkurrere med de priser, som deres udenlandske konkurrenter kan tilbyde.
As the competing fertiliser producers in third countries do not pay anti-dumping duties on their purchases of potash, the Community fertiliser manufacturers also claimed that they are unable to compete with the prices of the final product offered by their foreign competitors.
I den sammenhæng bør det dog bemærkes, at gødningsfabrikanterne i Fællesskabet har mulighed for at importere under proceduren for aktiv forædling, dvs. uden at betale antidumpingtold.
In this respect, it should be noted, however, that the Community fertiliser manufacturers have the possibility to import under IPR, i.e. without paying anti-dumping duties.
Ydermere mindes der om, at der findes andre leverandører både i tredjelande, som ikke er pålagt antidumpingforanstaltninger, og i Fællesskabet.
Furthermore, it is recalled that other sources of supply exist, both in third countries not subject to anti-dumping measures, and in the Community.
Desuden fremgår det ikke af undersøgelsen, at disse brugere ikke kunne konkurrere med importeret sammensat gødning på EF-markedet.
Moreover, the investigation has not shown that these users were unable to compete with imported compound fertilisers on the Community market.
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderes det, at foranstaltningerne ikke har haft betydelige negative konsekvenser for brugernes situation.
On the basis of the above, it is concluded that measures have not had a significant negative impact on the situation of users.
Foranstaltningernes konsekvenser for gødningsfabrikanternes rentabilitet har rent faktisk været minimal i den betragtede periode, og der er ikke blevet fremsat argumenter, der viser, at dette vil ændre sig, hvis foranstaltningerne opretholdes.
Indeed, the impact of the measures on the profitability of the fertiliser manufacturers during the period considered was minimal and no elements have been put forward indicating that this would change if measures were maintained.
Det konkluderes derfor, at brugernes interesser ikke er til hinder for opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne.
It is therefore concluded that the interests of users are not such as to prohibit the continuation of measures.
Virkninger for konkurrencen på EF-markedet
Consequences for competition on the Community market
Foranstaltningerne i deres nuværende form har klart bidraget til at stabilisere EF-erhvervsgrenen, som fra en periode med tab kunne gå til en situation, hvor der opnås en beskeden fortjeneste.
The measures in their current form clearly have had a stabilising effect on the Community industry which was able to exit the loss making period and regain a moderately profitable situation.
Denne udvikling ville ikke have været mulig uden foranstaltningerne.
This development would not have been possible without measures.
Dette kunne dog ikke forhindre yderligere koncentration på markedet, hvilket ses af, at ICL Group fra Israel overtog to EF-producenter.
However, this could not prevent a further concentration of the market as evidenced by the take-over of two Community producers by the ICL Group from Israel.
Derudover lukkede den franske kaliumchloridindustri i 2001, fordi minerne var udtømte.
Moreover, there was a close-down of the French potash industry in 2001 because the mines were exhausted.
Importører og brugere gjorde gældende, at denne udvikling i praksis medførte et duopol på markedet i EU, hvor de to selskabers samlede markedsandel var på over 70 % i EU som sådan og på over 80 % i EU-15.
It was argued by importers and users that this development led practically to a duopoly on the EU market, holding a combined market share in excess of 70 %, in the EU-15 even in excess of 80 %.
Derfor er det blevet fremført, at de nuværende foranstaltninger har haft negative følger for konkurrencen på markedet.
Therefore, it was argued that the current measures have affected the market in a way that has impeded competition.
Dette argument må afvises, da de nuværende foranstaltninger har givet EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at fortsætte sine aktiviteter og til en vis grad overvinde følgerne af skadevoldende dumping.
This argument has to be rejected, as the current measures have allowed the Community industry to maintain its operations and partially recover from the effects of injurious dumping.
Uden foranstaltninger er det sandsynligt, at konkurrencen ville være blevet reduceret endnu mere, da EF-producenterne ville have været tvunget til at stoppe produktionen af kaliumchlorid.
In absence of measures, it is likely that competition would have been reduced even more since the Community producers would have been forced to close down potash production.
Opretholdelsen af foranstaltningerne forebygger yderligere reduktion af konkurrencen ved at give EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at overleve og forblive konkurrencedygtig.
Therefore, the continuation of measures prevents a further reduction of competition by allowing the Community industry to survive and remain competitive.
Desuden mindes der om, at tilstedeværelsen på EF-markedet af en række andre konkurrenter fra tredjelande og fra de pågældende lande har sikret konkurrence på EF-markedet, og der er ikke grund til at antage, at dette vil ændre sig, hvis foranstaltningerne opretholdes.
Moreover, it is also recalled that the presence of a number of other competitors on the Community market from third countries, as well as from the countries concerned has ensured competition on the Community market and there is no reason to presume that this would change if measures are maintained.
Efter en analyse af de forskellige interesser konkluderes det, at på den ene side vil opretholdelse af antidumpingforanstaltningerne sandsynligvis resultere i en stabil og forudsigelig udvikling på EF-markedet for kaliumchlorid, som vil give EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for yderligere genrejsning og opretholdelse af konkurrenceevnen på rimelige konkurrencevilkår.
Having analysed the various interests involved, it is concluded that, on the one hand, a continuation of the anti-dumping measures is likely to result in a stable and predictable development for the Community potash market, which will allow the Community industry to further recover and remain competitive under fair conditions of competition.
Beskyttes EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke i tilstrækkelig grad mod dumpet import, vil det på den anden side højst sandsynligt medføre, at den ikke kan bevare den rentabilitet, den har opnået de seneste år, og at dens situation forværres betragteligt.
On the other hand, leaving the Community industry without adequate protection against the dumped imports would most probably wipe out its small profitability gained in recent years and lead to a serious deterioration of its situation.
Bortfalder foranstaltningerne, vil EF-erhvervsgrenen efter al sandsynlighed blive tvunget til at forlade markedet lidt efter lidt, og de belarussiske og russiske eksportører vil overtage en større del af markedet, hvilket vil medføre et mere og mere begrænset udvalg af leverandører af kaliumchlorid for importørerne, landbrugerne og brugerne i Fællesskabet.
In fact, should the measures lapse, the Community industry would in all likelihood be forced to abandon the market step by step and a larger part of the market would be taken over by the Belarusian and Russian exporters, leaving an ever limited choice of sources of potash for importers, farmers and users in the Community.
Den prisfordel for importørerne, som ville være følgen af bortfald af antidumpingforanstaltningerne, opvejes rigeligt af fordelene for EF-erhvervsgrenen ved opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne mod skadevoldende dumping.
Therefore, the price advantage for importers, which would result from allowing the anti-dumping measures to lapse, is by far outweighed by the benefits to the Community industry resulting from the continuation of measures against the injurious dumping.
Ulemperne for brugerne og slutbrugerne ved opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne betragtes som meget ubetydelige sammenlignet med udsigten til at opnå en stabil og levedygtig EF-erhvervsgren.
The disadvantage for users and end-users when measures are maintained is considered to be very limited compared to the outlook to gain a stable and viable Community industry.
Forlængelsen af foranstaltningerne ændrer rent faktisk ikke nogen af de nuværende markedsforhold, hvorunder brugerne ikke påvirkes i nævneværdig grad.
In fact, the prolongation of measures does not change any of the present market conditions, under which the users are not substantially affected.
De sandsynlige negative følger for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation vejer tungere end den mulige byrde for brugerne og slutbrugerne, som ikke vil adskille sig fra byrden under de nuværende forhold.
The likely negative effects on the situation of the Community industry are outweighing the possible burden for users and end-users, which will not be different from the situation existing at present.
Det konkluderes derfor, at der ikke er nogen tvingende årsager til ikke at forlænge de eksisterende antidumpingforanstaltninger.
It is therefore concluded that there are no compelling reasons against the prolongation of the existing anti-dumping measures.
Inden for rammerne af interimsundersøgelsen vedrørende import af kaliumchlorid med oprindelse i Belarus blev det også undersøgt, om de ændrede omstændigheder, der blev konstateret i forhold til den oprindelige dumpingundersøgelse med rimelighed kunne anses for at være af vedvarende karakter, jf. grundforordningens artikel 11, stk. 3.
In the framework of the interim review concerning imports of potash originating in Belarus, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances with respect to the original investigation regarding dumping could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.
Ved en sammenligning mellem normale værdier og eksportpriser i den tidligere og den aktuelle undersøgelse er det blevet fastslået, at mens den normale værdi er steget betydeligt, er den gennemsnitlige eksportpris steget endnu mere for sammenlignelige varetyper, hvilket har ført til mindre dumping.
By comparing the normal values and export prices found between the previous and the current investigation it has been established that, account being taken of comparable product types, normal value has considerably increased, but the average export price has increased even more, leading to decreased levels of dumping.
For så vidt angår de belarussiske priser ved eksport til andre markeder fandtes de generelt at svare til priserne ved eksport til markedet i EU.
As for the Belarusian export prices to other markets, they have been found to generally be in line with export prices to the EU market.
Der blev ikke fundet belæg for, at eksporten fra Belarus til dumpede priser ville ophøre, selv om omfanget dog ville blive mindre.
No evidence was found that exports from Belarus would not continue to be made at dumped prices, yet at a lower level than in the past.
På baggrund af ovenstående er det relativt sikkert at konkludere, at det nye mere beskedne omfang af dumpingen er af varig karakter.
Given the above, it is reasonably safe to conclude that the new lower level of dumping is of a lasting nature.
På baggrund af alle disse faktorer anses det for passende at ændre de eksisterende foranstaltninger vedrørende Belarus ved at reducere dumpingmargenen til det niveau, der er fastsat inden for rammerne af nærværende undersøgelse.
In view of all these factors, it is considered appropriate to amend the existing measures regarding Belarus, by lowering the dumping margin to that established in the present investigation.
Ifølge grundforordningens artikel 9, stk. 4, må antidumpingtolden ikke være højere end den fastsatte dumpingmargen, men bør være lavere end denne margen, hvis en sådan lavere told vil være tilstrækkelig til at afhjælpe den skade, der er påført den pågældende EF-erhvervsgren.
According to Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation, the amount of the anti-dumping duty should not exceed the margin of dumping established, but it should be less than that margin if such lesser duty would be adequate to remove the injury of the Community industry.
Da den nuværende told for Belarus er blevet beregnet på grundlag af dumpingmargenen, og da den nye dumpingmargen er lavere end den, der tidligere er blevet beregnet, bør tolden tilpasses den lavere dumpingmargen, der blev fastlagt inden for rammerne af denne undersøgelse, dvs. 27,5 %.
As the existing duties for Belarus had been calculated on the basis of the dumping margin, and as the new dumping margin is lower than the one previously calculated, the duty should be adjusted to the lower dumping margin found in this investigation, namely 27,5 %.
Efter fremlæggelsen af de endelige resultater afgav den eksporterende producent i Belarus et pristilsagn.
Following the disclosure of the definitive findings, the exporting producer in Belarus offered a price undertaking.
Det er Kommissionens normale praksis ikke at godtage tilsagn fra selskaber, der ikke opfylder kriterierne for markedsøkonomisk behandling eller individuel behandling, da tilsagn fra sådanne selskaber betragtes som uigennemførlige i praksis.
It is the normal practice of the Commission not to accept undertakings from companies not fulfilling the criteria for market economy treatment or individual treatment as undertakings from such companies is considered impractical.
