For det første viste undersøgelsen som bekendt, at de strygebrætter, der importeres fra de pågældende lande, konkurrerer direkte med strygebrætter, som produceres og sælges af EF-erhvervsgrenen, fordi de har identiske grundlæggende egenskaber, er udskiftelige fra forbrugernes synspunkt og distribueres ad samme kanaler.
First, it is recalled that the investigation revealed that the ironing boards imported from the countries concerned directly compete with the ironing boards produced and sold by the Community industry, since they are alike in terms of their basic characteristics, interchangeable from the consumer's point of view and distributed via the same distribution channels.
Den kraftige stigning i dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande (mere end 850 %) faldt sammen med en forringelse af den økonomiske situation i EF-erhvervsgrenen.
The significant increase in volume of the dumped imports from the countries concerned (more than 850 %) coincided with the deterioration of the economic situation of the Community industry.
Betragtes EF-produktionen i den samme periode afspejler forringelsen sig bl.a. i en nedgang i salg og priser.
This deterioration included, inter alia, a drop of sales and price levels of the Community production during the same period.
Dumpingimportens markedsandel steg 42 % i den betragtede periode, mens EF-erhvervsgrenen mistede 15 % af markedet.
The market share of the dumped imports increased by 42 percentage points during the period considered, whilst the Community industry lost 15 % of the market.
Fællesskabets forbrug steg som bekendt mere end 20 % fra 2002 til undersøgelsesperioden.
It is recalled that the Community consumption increased by more than 20 % between 2002 and the IP.
Priserne på dumpingimporten lå betydeligt under EF-erhvervsgrenens, så det kan med rimelighed konkluderes, at den pågældende import var ansvarlig for de faldende priser, som førte til en forringelse af EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation.
The dumped imports undercut the prices of the Community industry by very substantial margins so it can be reasonably concluded that they were responsible for the price suppression which led to the deterioration of the financial situation of the Community industry.
Desuden kunne EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke øge sin kapacitetsudnyttelse, hvilket den med rimelighed kunne have forventet at gøre som følge af den forbrugsstigning, der blev konstateret i den betragtede periode.
In addition, the Community industry could not increase its capacity utilisation, as could have reasonably happened given the increase in consumption observed over the period considered.
I betragtning af det klart dokumenterede sammenfald i tid mellem på den ene side væksten i dumpingimporten til væsentligt lavere priser end EF-erhvervsgrenens og på den anden side EF-erhvervsgrenens tab af salgs- og produktionsmængde, fald i markedsandel og beskæftigelse samt pristryk, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at dumpingimporten spillede en afgørende rolle for den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In view of the clearly established coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the surge of dumped imports at prices significantly undercutting the Community industry's prices and, on the other hand, the Community industry's loss of sales and production volume, decrease in market shares and employment, and price depression, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports played a determining role in the injurious situation of the Community industry.
Resultater for andre EF-producenter, som støttede klagen
Performance of other Community producers supporting the complaint
15 andre EF-producenter af strygebrætter end dem, der udgjorde EF-erhvervsgrenen, støttede klagen.
Fifteen Community producers of ironing boards other than those composing the Community industry supported the complaint.
Disse selskaber ønskede ikke at samarbejde i fuldt omfang i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, men afgav visse oplysninger om deres produktion, kapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse, salgsmængde, markedsandel og beskæftigelse.
These companies did not wish to fully co-operate in the investigation, however they provided certain information concerning their production, capacity and capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share and employment.
Selskaberne tegner sig sammenlagt for ca. 30 % af Fællesskabets samlede kendte produktion.
These companies all together represent around 30 % of the total known Community production.
Det skal bemærkes, at ingen af selskaberne importerede væsentlige mængder af den pågældende vare.
It should be noted that none of these companies imported any substantial quantity of the product concerned.
De 15 selskabers situation blev analyseret og sammenlignet med EF-erhvervsgrenens.
The situation of these 15 companies was analyzed and compared with the situation of the Community industry.
Produktion, kapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse og beskæftigelse
Production, capacity, capacity utilisation and employment:
Producenternes produktion steg 19 % i 2003, faldt derefter til det oprindelige niveau i 2004 og gik ned med 13 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
Production of these producers increased by 19 % in 2003, then decreased to its initial level in 2004 and dropped by 13 % in the IP.
Kapacitetsstigningen i 2004 kan tilskrives den forventede stigning i salget efter EU’s udvidelse.
The increase in capacity in 2004 can be attributed to the expectations of increased sales following the enlargement of the EU.
På grund af kapacitetsstigningen faldt kapacitetsudnyttelsen mere end produktionen i den betragtede periode.
As a result of increased capacity, the capacity utilisation decreased more than the output during the period considered.
Beskæftigelsen udviklede sig på linje med produktionen, dvs. steg i 2003, faldt derefter til det oprindelige niveau i 2004 og gik pludselig ned i undersøgelsesperioden.
Employment developed in line with the output, i.e. increased in 2003, then returned to its initial level in 2004 and dropped suddenly in the IP.
Salgsmængde og markedsandel
Sales volume and market share:
Efter en midlertidig forbedring i 2003 faldt de 15 selskabers salgs- og markedsandel kraftigt.
After a temporary improvement in 2003, the sales and market share of the 15 companies dropped sharply.
Denne udvikling falder helt tydeligt sammen med den pludselige stigning i dumpingimport fra de pågældende lande på Fællesskabets marked.
This development clearly coincides with the sudden increase of the dumped imports from the countries concerned on the Community market.
Dumpingimporten blev som bekendt næsten tredoblet i 2004, og samme år steg markedsandelen 20 %.
It is recalled that these imports almost tripled in 2004 and their market share increased by 20 percentage points in the same year.
Fællesskabets forbrug af strygebrætter steg også som bekendt i hele den betragtede periode.
It is also recalled that the Community consumption of ironing boards increased throughout the period considered.
Det kan derfor konkluderes, at de 15 EF-producenter af strygebrætter, som støttede klagen, oplevede samme forringelse af deres situation som EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In view of the above, it can be concluded that the situation of these 15 Community producers of ironing boards, which supported the complaint, deteriorated similarly to the situation of the Community industry.
Selskaberne kunne således ikke forvolde EF-erhvervsgrenen skade.
Thus, no injury could be caused to the Community industry by these companies.
Andre kendte EF-producenters resultater
Performance of other known Community producers
Som anført i betragtning 8 indgav to andre EF-producenter visse informationer, dog uden at støtte klagen.
As set out in recital (8) above, two other Community producers provided certain information but did not support the complaint.
Yderligere to kendte EF-producenter støttede klagen, men samarbejdede ikke i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, og én tidligere producent indgav visse informationer om tidligere produktionsaktiviteter.
In addition, there are two other known producers in the Community which supported the complaint, but did not co-operate in the investigation, and one ex-producer which provided certain information on its past production activities.
Alle disse selskaber havde en betydelig import af den pågældende vare.
All these companies made substantial imports of the product concerned.
De forhåndenværende data om selskaberne viser følgende tendenser (af fortrolighedshensyn vises de faktiske tal ikke):
The data available for these companies show the following trends (because of confidentiality reasons actual figures cannot be disclosed):
Undersøgelsesperioden Salg af EF-produktion i EF
Sales of Community production in the EC
EF-producenternes salg af strygebrætter faldt 71 % i den betragtede periode.
Sales of ironing boards produced by these Community producers decreased by 71 % during the period considered.
Den tilsvarende markedsandel faldt endnu mere, nemlig 77 %, fordi markedet ekspanderede i den samme periode.
The corresponding market share has decreased even more significantly by 77 %, because the market expanded in the same period.
Som allerede nævnt i betragtning 78 foretog flere traditionelle EF-producenter af strygebrætter en kraftig reduktion af deres produktionsaktiviteter i Fællesskabet i 2004 og undersøgelsesperioden eller bragte dem helt til ophør og startede en massiv import fra de pågældende lande.
As already mentioned in recital (78) above, in 2004 and during the IP some traditional Community producers of ironing boards significantly lowered or completely discontinued their production activities in the Community and started to import massively from the countries concerned.
Nogle af disse selskaber kan faktisk ikke længere betragtes som EF-producenter, for deres produktionssteder blev lukket i undersøgelsesperioden.
In fact, some of these companies can no longer be considered Community producers, since their production sites have been closed down in the IP.
Det konkluderes derfor, at disse øvrige EF-producenter var i en lignende situation som EF-erhvervsgrenen, og at deres produktionsaktiviteter ikke forvoldte EF-erhvervsgrenen skade.
In view of the above, it is concluded that these other Community producers were in a situation similar to that of the Community industry and their production activities did not cause any injury to the Community industry.
EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater
Export performance of the Community industry:
Eksportsalg af EF-produktion (enheder)
Exports sales of EC production (units)
Eksportsalgspris (EUR/enhed)
Export sales price (EUR/unit)
EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater forblev relativt stabile i den betragtede periode.
The export performance of the Community industry remained relatively stable during the period considered.
Der kan ikke konstateres en nedgang i mængderne.
In terms of volumes, no deterioration can be observed.
Salgsprisen faldt 15 % i 2003, men dette fald blev delvis udlignet i 2004, og eksportprisen forblev stabil i undersøgelsesperioden.
In terms of sales price, a fall by 15 % in 2003 was partially recovered in 2004 and the export price remained stable in the IP.
Det skal bemærkes, at eksportsalgsprisen ligger væsentligt over salgsprisen i Fællesskabet, og at eksportsalget kun udgør ca. 10 % af EF-erhvervsgrenens produktion.
It should be noted that the export sales price is considerably higher than the sales price in the Community and that the volume of export sales represents only about 10 % of the output of the Community industry.
Det kan derfor konkluderes, at EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater ikke bidrog til den væsentlige forvoldte skade.
In this view it can be concluded that the export performance of the Community industry did not contributed to the material injury suffered.
Import fra Kina, som ikke blev solgt til dumpingpriser
Imports from the PRC not sold at dumping prices
Undersøgelsen viste, at der i den betragtede periode var en stigning på 467 % i import fra Kina, som ikke blev solgt til dumpingpriser, sammenlignet med en stigning på 856 % i dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande.
The investigation established that during the period considered the volume of imports from the PRC not sold at dumping prices increased by 467 %, compared to an 856 % increase of dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Udtrykt i absolutte tal svarer det til, at dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande var mere end 5 gange større end ikke-dumpingimporten.
In absolute terms, the volume of the dumped imports from the countries concerned exceeded more than five times the volume of the non-dumped imports.
Den markedsandel, som ikke-dumpingimporten fra Kina tegner sig for, steg 343 %. I samme periode steg dumpingimportens markedsandel 647 %.
The market share of non-dumped imports from the PRC increased by 343 %, whilst the market share of dumped imports increased by 647 % during the same period.
Gennemsnitsprisen på ikke-dumpingimport steg i den betragtede periode og blev ved med at ligge væsentligt over gennemsnitsprisen på dumpingimport, udtrykt i absolutte tal, men samtidig under EF-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitspris.
The average price of non-dumped imports increased during the period considered and, in absolute terms, it remained considerably above the average price of dumped imports, although below the Community industry's average price.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at eventuelle virkninger af import fra Kina, som ikke blev solgt til dumpingpris, ikke kunne bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimport og den væsentlige skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In view of the above, it is provisionally concluded that any impact of imports from the PRC not sold at dumping prices cannot be considered to be such as to break the causal link between dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Visse parter fremførte som argument, at import fra Tyrkiet efter sigende kommer ind på Fællesskabets marked til priser, som omtrent svarer til de kinesiske, og at det sker i stadig større omfang. Det forvolder EF-erhvervsgrenen skade.
Certain parties argued that imports from Turkey have allegedly been entering the Community market at prices similar to the PRC and in ever-increasing volumes thereby causing injury to the Community industry.
Det skal i den forbindelse bemærkes, at påstandene ikke blev bekræftet af undersøgelsen.
In this regard it is noted that these allegations were not confirmed in the investigation.
Der blev ikke fremlagt dokumentation for import fra Tyrkiet i løbet af undersøgelsen.
No evidence of imports from Turkey was submitted in the course of the investigation.
Endvidere solgte den samarbejdsvillige tyrkiske producent af strygebrætter, som blev nævnt i betragtning 10, ikke den samme vare til Fællesskabet.
Moreover, the co-operating Turkish producer of ironing boards referred to in recital (10) above did not sell the like product to the Community.
Der blev heller ikke konstateret andre importkilder i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Furthermore, no other sources of imports were established by the investigation.
I betragtning af de nævnte resultater forkastes påstanden om import fra Tyrkiet, og det konkluderes, at import fra andre tredjelande ikke forvoldte EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade.
Considering the above mentioned findings the claim concerning imports from Turkey is rejected and it is concluded that imports from other third countries did not cause material injury to the Community industry.
Selvforskyldt skade
The injury is self-inflicted
Visse berørte parter hævdede, at skaden var selvforskyldt, fordi EF-erhvervsgrenen undlod at reagere på ændringer i distributions- og forbrugsmønstre og den teknologiske udvikling i forbindelse med produktionen af strygebrætter.
Certain interested parties argued that the injury was self-inflicted because the Community industry failed to respond to the changes in the patterns of distribution and consumption and developments in technology as regards the production of ironing boards.
Endvidere blev det fremført, at den selvforskyldte skade også kunne tilskrives EF-producenternes egne import af kinesiske strygebrætter.
Furthermore, it was claimed that self-inflicted injury has also been caused by imports of Chinese ironing boards by the Community producers themselves.
Strygebrætter, som produceres i Fællesskabet, distribueres normalt af forhandlere eller leveres, som i de fleste tilfælde, direkte til detailhandlerne eller deres distributionscentre.
Ironing boards produced in the Community are normally distributed via traders or, in most instances, directly supplied to retailers or their distribution centres.
Importerede strygebrætter distribueres normalt af importører/forhandlere eller via større detailkæders distributions-/leveringscentre.
Imported ironing boards are normally distributed via importers/traders or via distribution/supply centres of large retail chains.
Hvor stor en andel, de to distributionskanaler tegner sig for i tilfælde af import, afhænger af den enkelte eksporterende producent.
The proportion of the two distribution channels in the case of imports varies from one exporting producer to another.
Mellemled kan komme på tale i alle tilfælde.
In all cases agents may be involved.
Distributionsmønstret har været anvendt i flere år, og der er ikke konstateret væsentlige eller pludselige ændringer i tidens løb.
This distribution pattern has been in place for several years and no significant and sudden changes could be observed over time.
EF-erhvervsgrenen har traditionelt leveret både til små detailhandlere og større detailkæder.
The Community industry has traditionally been supplying both small retailers and large retail chains.
Derfor kan det øgede salg af strygebrætter via detailkæder ikke anses for at være skadevoldende i sig selv.
Thus, the increasing share of sales of ironing boards via retail chains cannot be seen as a factor causing injury per se.
Der blev ikke bekræftet væsentlige ændringer i forbrugsmønstret.
No significant changes in the pattern of consumption were confirmed.
Med hensyn til produktionsprocessen/teknologien hævdedes det, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke er i stand til at imødekomme særlige krav fra kunderne/detailhandlerne på grund af den højautomatiserede produktion.
As regards the production process/technology, it was argued that the Community industry is not able to respond to specific requirements from the customers/retailers because of the high level of automation of their production.
For det første skal det bemærkes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke på nogen måde ville kunne konkurrere med importerede varer fra lande med meget lave energi-, råvare- og arbejdsomkostninger uden automatisering.
Firstly, it is noted that without automation the Community industry could not conceivably compete with imports of the products originating in countries benefiting from very low cost of energy, raw materials and labour.
For det andet sætter den automatiserede produktion EF-erhvervsgrenen i stand til at sikre høj kvalitet og korte leveringsfrister. Det opfatter kunderne som en komparativ fordel.
Secondly, the automated production allows the Community industry to guarantee high quality and short lead times which is perceived as a comparative advantage by the customers.
Endelig fremkom der intet, som kunne underbygge den påstand, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke er i stand til at imødekomme særlige krav fra kunder/detailhandlere om design og innovation.
Lastly, no evidence was produced to support the claim that the Community industry was unable to satisfy the specific requirements of customers/retailers with regard to design and innovation.
Med hensyn til EF-erhvervsgrenens import af kinesiske strygebrætter viste undersøgelsen, at der kun blev importeret ubetydelige mængder i undersøgelsesperioden.
As to imports of Chinese ironing boards by the Community industry, the investigation has shown that only some not significant quantities have been imported in the IP.
Importen skal ses som EF-erhvervsgrenens forsøg på at forsvare sig mod billig dumpingimport.
That was a self defence action of the Community industry against the influx of low-priced dumped imports.
Under alle omstændigheder blev de importerede strygebrætter videresolgt i Fællesskabet til ikke-skadevoldende priser.
In any event, these imports were resold in the Community at non-injurious prices.
Derfor kan importen ikke have forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade.
Consequently such imports could not have caused injury to the Community industry.
I betragtning af ovenstående forkastes disse påstande, og det konkluderes, at skaden ikke var selvforskyldt.
In view of the above, these claims are rejected, and it is concluded that the injury could not be self-inflicted.
Det bekræftes derfor, at den væsentlige skade, som er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, og som navnlig er kendetegnet ved et fald i salg, markedsandel og enhedssalgspris med en forværring af den finansielle situation til følge, blev forårsaget af dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande.
In conclusion, it is confirmed that the material injury suffered by the Community industry, which is characterised especially by a decline in sales volume, market shares and unit sales price resulting in a deterioration of the financial situation, was caused by the dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Selv om den import fra Kina, som ikke blev solgt til dumpingpriser, sandsynligvis medvirkede til at forringe EF-producenternes resultater, kunne udviklingen, omfanget, markedsandelen og prisniveauet ikke bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Although the imports from the PRC not sold at dumping prices in all likelihood contributed to the worsened performance of the Community producers, their development, their volume and market share and price level was not such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of the Community industry.
I betragtning af ovenstående analyse, hvor der er gjort behørigt rede for alle kendte faktorers konsekvenser for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation set i forhold til dumpingimportens skadevoldende virkninger, bekræftes det, at de andre 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, it is hereby 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 foreløbigt, at dumpingimporten med oprindelse i de pågældende lande har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the dumped imports originating in the countries concerned have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Kommissionen undersøgte, om der var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det i dette tilfælde ikke er i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre foranstaltninger til trods for den foreløbige konklusion om, at er tale om skadevoldende dumping.
The Commission examined whether, despite the provisional conclusion on the existence of injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed that could lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Community interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 21, stk. 1, vurderede Kommissionen derfor med udgangspunkt i de foreliggende oplysninger virkningerne af eventuelle foranstaltninger for alle parter, der var berørt af proceduren, samt følgerne af ikke at træffe foranstaltninger.
For this purpose, and in accordance with Article 21(1) of the basic Regulation, the impact of possible measures on all parties involved in this proceeding and also the consequences of not taking measures were considered on the basis of all evidence submitted.
Skadesanalysen har tydeligt vist, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt under dumpingimporten.
The injury analysis has clearly demonstrated that the Community industry has suffered from the dumped imports.
