Dette skal dog ses i sammenhæng med den samlede EF-produktion, som blev ramt af lukningen af en række selskaber, der havde en produktionskapacitet på over 140000 tons.
However, this has to be considered in the context of the total Community production which was hit by the closure of a number of companies having a production capacity of more than 140000 tonnes.
EF-erhvervsgrenen øgede produktionskapaciteten ved at erhverve produktionsaktiver fra de lukkede selskaber.
The Community industry increased its capacity by acquiring production assets from the companies subject to these shutdowns.
Det konkluderes derfor, at EF-erhvervsgrenen befinder sig i en vanskelig økonomisk og finansiel situation og har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
In the light of the foregoing, it is concluded that the Community industry is in a difficult economic and financial situation and has suffered material injury, within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, undersøgte Kommissionen, om dumpingimporten med oprindelse i Thailand og Kina har påført EF-erhvervsgrenen en sådan skade, at den må betragtes som væsentlig.
In accordance with Articles 3(6) and 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports originating in Thailand and the PRC have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that may be considered as material.
DUMPINGIMPORTENS VIRKNING
EFFECT OF THE DUMPED IMPORTS
Mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden steg mængden af dumpingimport med oprindelse i Kina og Thailand med 40 %.
Between 2001 and the IP, dumped imports originating in the PRC and Thailand increased by 40 % in volume.
Samtidig steg denne imports markedsandel fra 13,8 % i 2001 til 18,3 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
At the same time the market share of these imports increased from 13,8 % in 2001 to 18,3 % in the IP.
Importpriserne fra disse lande faldt betydeligt i den betragtede periode og underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser med mellem 4,1 % og 37,9 %.
The import prices from these countries decreased substantially during the period considered and undercut the Community industry’s prices in the IP between 4,1 % to 37,9 %.
Denne underbydning er på gennemsnitsbasis resultatet af en prisfastsættelse, der ikke dækker alle omkostningerne i markedsføringskæden.
This undercutting is resulting, on an average basis, from pricing that does not cover all costs in the commercialization chain.
Den betydelige stigning i importmængden til meget lave priser eller dumpingpriser og importens erobring af markedsandele i den betragtede periode faldt sammen med forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation i samme periode, især med hensyn til rentabilitet, salgspriser, slutlagre, investeringer, kapacitetsudnyttelse, likviditet, evne til at rejse kapital og afkast af investeringer.
The substantial increase in volume of the imports at very low and dumped prices and their gain in market share over the period considered coincided with the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry during the same period, in particular in terms profitability, sales prices, closing stocks, investment, capacity utilisation, cash flow, ability to raise capital and return on investment.
Det konkluderes derfor, at presset fra de pågældende importerede varer spillede en afgørende rolle for den skade, der er blevet påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
It is therefore concluded that the pressure exerted by the imports concerned, played a determining role in the injurious situation of the Community industry.
VIRKNINGER AF ANDRE FAKTORER
EFFECT OF OTHER FACTORS
For så vidt angår andre EF-producenters salg faldt dette med 7,1 % i mængde mellem 2001 og undersøgelsesperioden og med 7,8 % i markedsandel i samme periode.
As regards the sales volumes of the other Community producers, they decreased by 7,1 % in terms of volume between 2001 and the IP and decreased by 7,8 % in terms of market share during the same period.
Der var intet, der tydede på, at de andre EF-producenters priser var lavere end for den samarbejdsvillige EF-erhvervsgren, eller at deres generelle situation var anderledes.
No indication was found that the prices of other Community producers were lower than those of the cooperating Community industry, or that their overall situation would be different.
Derfor konkluderes det, at de varer, der blev produceret og solgt af de øvrige EF-producenter, ikke bidrog til den skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Therefore, it is concluded that the products produced and sold by the other Community producers did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Ifølge oplysninger afledt fra Eurostat steg mængden af import med oprindelse i andre tredjelande (f.eks. Malaysia, Tyrkiet, Indien og Indonesien) med 22 % i den betragtede periode og nåede op på et niveau på ca. 231000 tons i undersøgelsesperioden.
According to information derived from Eurostat, the volume of imports originating in other third countries (e.g. Malaysia, Turkey, India and Indonesia) increased by 22 % over the period considered and reached a level of approximately 231000 tonnes in the IP.
Dette svarer til en markedsandel på 13,8 %.
This corresponds to a market share of 13,8 %.
I samme periode faldt priserne på disse importerede varer med 11 % (fra 1,66 EUR/kg i 2001 til 1,48 EUR/kg i undersøgelsesperioden).
Over the same period, the prices of these imports decreased by 11 % (from 1,66 EUR/kg in 2001 to 1,48 EUR/kg in the IP).
Det skal imidlertid bemærkes, at gennemsnitsprisen på denne import lå højere end gennemsnitsprisen på import med oprindelse i Kina og Thailand i undersøgelsesperioden og endda lidt højere end EF-erhvervsgrenens priser.
However, it is to be noted that the average price of these imports was above that of the imports originating in the PRC and Thailand during the IP and even slightly higher than that of the Community Industry.
Derfor konkluderes det, at importen fra andre tredjelande ikke har bidraget væsentligt til den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
It is therefore concluded that imports from other third countries have not materially contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Råvarepriser
Raw material prices
Det blev hævdet af nogle parter, at prisen på polyethylen har været historisk lavere i Asien end i EU.
It was alleged by some parties that the price of polyethylene has been historically lower in Asia than its price in the EU.
Udviklingen i polyethylenpriserne viser imidlertid, at råvarepriserne i Asien har svinget både under og over de tilsvarende priser i Europa i den betragtede periode.
However, the evolution of the polyethylene prices reveals that the raw material prices in Asia fluctuated both below and above the corresponding European prices during the period considered.
På grundlag af de tal, der er fremlagt af disse parter vedrørende situationen i Kina, faldt den gennemsnitlige prisforskel for råvarer i Kina i sammenlignet med EU fra 20,3 % til 12,3 % mellem 2001 og 2004, mens den gennemsnitlige prisforskel for den endelige vare steg fra 0,7 % til 14,8 %.
Based on the figures presented by these parties concerning the situation in the PRC, the average price differential in raw materials in the PRC compared to the EU decreased from 20,3 % to 12,3 % between 2001 and 2004 whilst at the same time the average price differential in the final product increased from 0,7 % to 14,8 %.
Da udviklingen i råvarepriserne skulle have medført en faldende prisforskel i de endelige varer i stedet for en stigende forskel, viste undersøgelsen, at der ikke er nogen logisk sammenhæng mellem udviklingen i råvarepriser og priserne på de endelige varer, der eksporteres til Fællesskabet.
As the development of prices of the raw material should have led to a decrease in the price differential of the final product rather than an increase in this price differential, the investigation showed that there was no logical correlation between the development of the raw material price and the price of the final product exported to the Community.
Tværtimod klarede EF-erhvervsgrenen sig forholdsvis godt i 2001, selv om prisforskellen var på sit højeste, mens den befandt sig i en dårlig situation i 2004 og i undersøgelsesperioden, hvor prisforskellene var meget mindre.
On the contrary, the Community industry was in relatively good shape in 2001 although the price differential was at its highest, and showed an injurious situation in 2004 and the IP when the price differential was much smaller.
Det må derfor konkluderes, at forskellene i råvarepriser ikke kan anses for i betydende grad at have bidraget til den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen er blevet påført.
Therefore, it must be concluded that the differential in the raw material prices cannot be considered to have contributed to the material injury of the Community industry in a significant way.
Nogle parter hævdede endvidere, at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt, ikke skyldtes dumpingimporten, men en stigning i prisen på polyethylen i Fællesskabet i den betragtede periode.
Some parties further alleged that the injury suffered by the Community industry was not caused by the dumped imports but by the increase in the polyethylene prices during the period considered in the Community.
I denne forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at priserne på polyethylen faktisk er steget på gennemsnitsbasis i den betragtede periode.
To this end it has to be noted that the polyethylene prices have on an average basis indeed increased during the period considered.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var dog ikke i stand til at sætte deres salgspriser tilsvarende op.
However, the Community industry could not increase their respective sales prices accordingly.
Denne manglende prisfleksibilitet skyldes et samtidigt opsving i dumpingimport med oprindelse i Kina og Thailand til priser, der er i betydelig grad underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, og som på gennemsnitsbasis ikke engang dækkede produktionsomkostningerne i Kina og Thailand.
This inflexibility in prices has been caused by the simultaneous surge of dumped imports originating in the PRC and Thailand, at prices significantly undercutting those of the Community industry and, on an average basis, not even covering the cost of production in the PRC and Thailand.
Under disse omstændigheder må det konkluderes, at dumpingimporten har udsat EF-erhvervsgrenen for et stærkt prispres, og at denne derfor ikke har haft mulighed for at kompensere for stigningen i råvarepriser ved at øge salgspriserne tilsvarende.
Under these circumstances it has to be concluded that the Community industry has been exposed to heavy price pressure by these dumped imports and consequently has had no possibility to compensate for the increase in the raw material prices by increasing their sales prices respectively.
Endelig mindes der om, at det i forbindelse med undersøgelsen af en årsagssammenhæng skal fastslås, om dumpingimporten (med hensyn til priser og mængder) har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, eller om en sådan væsentlig skade kan skyldes andre faktorer.
Finally, it is recalled that in the context of the investigation of a causal link, it has to be examined whether the dumped imports (in terms of prices and volumes) have caused material injury to the Community industry or whether such material injury was due to other factors.
I denne henseende bestemmes det med hensyn til priser i grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6, at det skal bevises, at dumpingimportens prisniveau har forvoldt skade.
In this respect, with regard to prices, Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation refers to a demonstration that the price level of the dumped imports causes injury.
Der henvises derfor blot til en forskel mellem prisniveauet for dumpingimport og prisniveauet for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
It therefore merely refers to a difference between price levels of dumped imports and those of the Community industry.
Der er således ikke noget krav om at analysere de faktorer, der påvirker prisniveauet for importen, f.eks. arbejdskraftsomkostninger, råvarepriser eller SA&G-omkostningsniveauet.
Thus, there is no requirement to analyse the factors affecting the level of the import prices, such as for example the level of labour costs, the level of prices of raw materials or the level of the SG&A costs.
Listen over de andre kendte faktorer i denne artikel indeholder således ingen henvisning til nogen faktor, der påvirker dumpingimportens prisniveau.
Indeed, the list of the other known factors in this Article does not make reference to any factor affecting the price level of the dumped imports.
Hvis eksporten foregår til dumpingpriser, og selv om den har nydt godt af en gunstig udvikling i råvarepriserne, er det vanskeligt at se, hvorledes den gunstige udvikling i sådanne input-priser kan udgøre en anden skadesfaktor.
In sum, if the exports are dumped, and even if they benefited from a favourable development in prices of raw materials, it is difficult to see how the favourable development of such input prices could be another factor causing injury.
Analysen af de faktorer, der påvirker dumpingimportens prisniveau, uanset om der er forskelle i råvarepriserne eller andet, kan således ikke tillægges afgørende betydning og ville være mere vidtgående end det, der kræves i grundforordningen.
Thus, the analysis of the factors affecting the level of the prices of the dumped imports, be it differences in prices in raw materials or something else, cannot be conclusive and such analysis would go beyond the requirements of the basic Regulation.
På dette grundlag må argumenterne vedrørende råvarepriser afvises.
Equally on this basis, the arguments concerning the raw material prices are rejected.
EF-erhvervsgrenens dårlige situation faldt sammen med en kraftig stigning i importen fra Kina og Thailand og et væsentligt prisunderbud i forbindelse med denne import.
The injurious situation of the Community industry coincided with a sharp increase in imports from the PRC and Thailand and a substantial price undercutting by these imports.
For så vidt angår import fra andre tredjelande må det i betragtning af dens lavere markedsandel i undersøgelsesperioden end den pågældende import, og især dens gennemsnitspriser, der i undersøgelsesperioden var højere end den pågældende imports gennemsnitspriser og ikke mindst højere end EF-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitspriser, konkluderes, at disse faktorer ikke i betydelig grad kan havde bidraget til den skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
As to the imports from other third countries, in view of their lower market share during the IP than that of the imports concerned, and especially in view of the higher average price than that of the imports concerned during the IP and, even more important, higher than that of the Community industry, it is concluded that the effect of these other factors could not have materially contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Virkningen af prisforskellene på råvarer i EF og i de berørte lande med hensyn til EF-erhvervsgrenens negative udvikling med hensyn til rentabilitet, resultater og faldende markedsandel var ubetydelig og burde rent faktisk have bidraget positivt til EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
Furthermore, the effect of the differential in raw material prices in the Community and the countries concerned on the Community industry's negative developments in terms of profitability, performance and decrease in market share was negligible and in fact should have contributed positively to the situation of the Community industry.
De interesserede parter fremførte ikke andre faktorer, som samtidig kunne have skadet EF-erhvervsgrenen, og der blev heller ikke under undersøgelsen identificeret sådanne andre faktorer.
No other factors, which could at the same time have injured the Community industry, were raised by interested parties or identified during the course of the investigation.
I betragtning af ovenstående analyse, hvor der omhyggeligt sondres mellem alle kendte faktorers virkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation og dumpingimportens skadelige virkning, bekræfter undersøgelsen, at de øvrige faktorer ikke i sig selv ændrer det forhold, at den konstaterede skade må tilskrives dumpingimporten.
Given the above analysis which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all the known factors on the situation of the Community Industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, the investigation confirmed that these other factors as such do not reverse the fact that the injury assessed must be attributed to the dumped imports.
Det konkluderes derfor, at dumpingimporten med oprindelse i Kina og Thailand har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
It is therefore concluded that the dumped imports originating in the PRC and Thailand have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
EF-erhvervsgrenen er en konkurrencedygtig og levedygtig industri, hvilket understreges af situationen i 2001, hvor det gik relativt godt til trods for skarp konkurrence på verdensplan.
The Community industry is a competitive and viable industry which is evidenced by its situation in 2001 where it was in a relatively good shape despite sharp worldwide competition.
Indførelsen af foranstaltninger skulle således gøre det muligt at øge markedsandelen og forhøje salgspriserne for derved at opnå det rimelige fortjenstniveau, der er nødvendigt for at forbedre erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation.
Thus, the imposition of measures should allow it to increase market share and its sales prices, and thereby reach reasonable profit levels necessary to improve the industry’s financial situation.
Det vil også give den mulighed for at fortsætte investeringer i produktionsanlæg og således sikre EF-erhvervsgrenens overlevelse.
This will also allow them to continue investments in their production facilities, thus guaranteeing the Community industry's survival.
Dette vil i nær fremtid tvinge flere selskaber til at indstille produktionen og fyre deres ansatte.
This will force some companies to cease production and lay off their employees in the near future.
De 3300 direkte arbejdspladser i den samarbejdsvillige EF-erhvervsgren ville være i fare.
The 3300 direct jobs in the cooperating Community industry would be put at stake.
Den samlede EF-produktion af sække og poser involverer ca. 12000 arbejdspladser, først og fremmest i små og mellemstore virksomheder.
The total Community production of sacks and bags involves approximately 12000 jobs which are mainly in small and medium sized companies.
Hvis EF-produktionen indstilles, vil Fællesskabet blive mere afhængigt af leverandører uden for Fællesskabet.
With the closure of the Community production the Community would become more dependent on suppliers outside the Community.
Det kan derfor konkluderes, at antidumpingforanstaltninger vil gøre det muligt for EF-erhvervsgrenen at overvinde virkningerne af den skadevoldende dumping, som den har været udsat for, og at antidumpingforanstaltningerne vil være i EF-erhvervsgrenens interesse.
Accordingly, it is concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would allow the Community industry to recover from the effects of injurious dumping suffered and that it therefore is in the interest of the Community industry.
IKKE-FORRETNINGSMÆSSIGT FORBUNDNE IMPORTØRERS/FORHANDLERES OG DETAILHANDLERES INTERESSER
INTEREST OF UNRELATED IMPORTERS/TRADERS AND RETAILERS
Kommissionen sendte spørgeskemaer til fire stikprøveudvalgte importører/forhandlere, der repræsenterede 9 % af det samlede salg af importen fra de berørte lande.
The Commission sent questionnaires to four sampled importers/traders representing 9 % of total sales of imports from the countries concerned.
Det var dog kun to importører/forhandlere, der tegner sig for 3 % af den samlede import fra de berørte lande, der besvarede spørgeskemaet.
However, only two importers/traders, representing 3 % of total imports from the countries concerned, replied to the questionnaire.
De samarbejdsvillige ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører anførte, at hvis der blev indført foranstaltninger, ville salgsprisen for den pågældende vare stige, og forbrugerne ville skulle betale mere for den pågældende vare, og virkningen af tolden ville således blive lagt over på forbrugerne.
The cooperating unrelated importers submitted that, were measures imposed, the sales price of the product concerned would rise and that the consumers would have to pay more for the product concerned and that the effect of the duty would thus be transferred to the consumers.
Der ville derfor være en begrænset negativ virkning for de ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører i denne forbindelse.
Therefore, there would be a limited negative impact on the unrelated importers in this regard.
Den pågældende vare distribueres i vidt omfang af detailforretninger.
The product concerned is, to a large extent, distributed by retail businesses.
Visse typer af varen, som f.eks. indkøbsposer og bæreposer, distribueres gratis til individuelle kunder i nogle lande i Fællesskabet, mens andre typer, som f.eks. fryseposer, bleposer og affaldsposer, sælges til kunderne.
Certain types of the product, such as grocery bags and carrier bags are distributed for free to individual customers in some countries in the Community whereas certain other types, such as freezer bags, nappy bags and bin liners, are sold to the customers.
Det skal bemærkes, at kunderne i øjeblikket ikke betaler for engangsbæreposer i visse medlemsstater som f.eks. Det Forenende Kongerige.
It is to be noted that at present consumers are not charged for single trip carrier bags in certain Member States such as in the United Kingdom.
Undersøgelsen viste, at påstandene vedrørende de finansielle konsekvenser af en antidumpingtold for visse erhvervsdrivende, især i detailsektoren, var betydeligt overdrevne.
The investigation showed that the claims concerning the financial impact of an anti-dumping duty on different operators, especially the retail sector, were considerably exaggerated.
Nogle detailhandlere anførte, at en told på 10 % ville medføre ekstraomkostninger på 220 mio. EUR om året alene for detailsektoren.
Some retailers put forward that a duty of 10 % would generate a supplemental cost of EUR 220 million per annum for the retail sector alone.
Virkninger af en antidumpingtold i ovennævnte led ville kun bidrage til en marginal omkostningsstigning.
Therefore, the impact of an anti-dumping duty of the above mentioned level would contribute only to a marginal increase in their cost.
Desuden ville nogle af disse ekstra omkostninger kunne spredes over forskellige led i forsyningskæden.
In addition, some of this supplemental cost would be spread across various levels of the supply chain.
Disse detailhandlendes argument blev derfor afvist.
The argument of these retailers was therefore rejected.
De samme detailhandlende hævdede også, at der ikke blot er noget udbud af visse typer af den pågældende vare fra EF-erhvervsgrenen, men at EF-erhvervsgrenen heller ikke ville have kapacitet til at opfylde Fællesskabets efterspørgsel som helhed.
The same retailers alleged also that there is not only no supply of certain types of the product concerned by the EC industry, but that the EC industry would also not have the capacity to satisfy Community demand as a whole.
I denne forbindelse skal det først bemærkes med hensyn til udbuddet af sække og poser, at indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger ikke vil stoppe tilførslen af varen fra de berørte lande, men blot ville skabe ens markedsvilkår.
In this regard it should firstly be noted with regard to the supply of sacks and bags that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would not stop the supply of the product from the countries concerned but would only restore a level playing field in the market.
Importen af sække og poser vil fortsat tilfredsstille noget af efterspørgslen på fællesskabsmarkedet.
The imports of sacks and bags will continue to satisfy some of the supply in the Community market.
Desuden har EF-erhvervsgrenen allerede en produktionskapacitet, der kan klare en evt. stigning i efterspørgslen.
Moreover, the Community industry has existing production capacity to satisfy any increase in demand.
