Efter undersøgelsesperioden steg markedspriserne igen til et ikke-skadevoldende niveau, og importen fra Kina faldt, men selvom det måske i et vist omfang kan skabe tvivl om, hvorvidt det er nødvendigt med foranstaltninger til at forbedre EF-erhvervsgrenens situation, er der ikke tegn på, at stigningen er af permanent karakter eller bliver langvarig.
The fact that after the IP market prices increased again to non-injurious levels and that Chinese import levels decreased, may cast some doubt on the necessity of measures to remedy the situation of the Community industry but there are no indications predicting that this increase would be of a permanent, or even of a long-lasting nature.
Under disse omstændigheder er det klart, at EF-erhvervsgrenen og producenterne ville drage fordel af, at der vedtages antidumpingforanstaltninger, og at foranstaltninger kunne medvirke til at stabilisere Fællesskabets marked.
Under these circumstances it is clear that the Community industry and the farmers would benefit from the adoption of anti-dumping measures and that measures could have a stabilising effect on the Community market.
Priserne på frosne jordbær ville ikke blive trykket af importerede jordbær fra Kina.
The prices of frozen strawberries would not be depressed as a result of imports of strawberries originating in the PRC.
På den måde ville EF-producenterne kunne hæve priserne og opnå en rimelig fortjenstmargen.
Thus, Community producers would be able to increase their prices and to obtain a reasonable profit margin.
Det ville med stor sandsynlighed få positive følger for leverandørerne.
This will in all likelihood have positive effects upon the upstream industry.
Det konkluderes derfor, at det ville være i EF-erhvervsgrenens og jordbærproducenternes interesse, at der indføres foranstaltninger.
It is therefore concluded that the imposition of measures would be in the interest of the Community industry and the strawberry farmers.
Som følge af resultaterne i forbindelse med den foreløbige undersøgelse aflagde Kommissionen besøg hos yderligere to importører af den pågældende vare.
Further to the findings at the preliminary stage of the investigation, the Commission visited two more importers of the product concerned.
Disse importører indfører den pågældende vare fra Kina, selvom de også begge forhandler jordbær produceret i EU; sidstnævnte tegner sig for 50-60 % af deres respektive indkøb.
These importers import the product concerned from the PRC although each of them also trades strawberries produced in the EU, which represent between 50 to 60 % of their respective purchases.
Det skal dog bemærkes, at handel med frosne jordbær kun udgør en del af deres aktiviteter og tegner sig for 30-50 % af deres samlede omsætning.
It has to be noted, however, that trading frozen strawberries only constitutes a part of their business activities and accounts for 30 to 50 % of their overall turnover.
Deres import fra Kina udgør ca. 14 % af den samlede import af den pågældende vare.
Their imports from the PRC represent around 14 % of all imports of the product concerned.
Importørerne anses derfor for at være repræsentative.
The importers are therefore considered to be representative.
Begge importører gav udtryk for, at de var imod antidumpingforanstaltninger.
Both importers expressed opposition to anti-dumping measures.
Undersøgelsen har vist, at da efterspørgslen efter jordbær er bestemt af forbrugernes præferencer, som ikke vil blive påvirket af antidumpingforanstaltninger, vil efterspørgslen efter frosne jordbær sandsynligvis ikke ændre sig.
The investigation has shown that, given that the demand for strawberries is driven by consumer preferences which will not be affected by the imposition of anti dumping measures, the demand for frozen strawberries is not likely to change.
Derfor vil importører sandsynligvis ikke blive påvirket af højere priser, da de vil kunne blive ved med at importere de samme mængder som før og med stor sandsynlighed kunne overføre en væsentlig del af de yderligere omkostninger i forbindelse med frosne jordbær til brugerne.
Thus, importers are unlikely to be affected by higher prices, as they could continue importing the same quantities as before and would in all likelihood be able to pass on a substantial part of additional costs of frozen strawberries onto the users.
Dette bekræftes af, at tidligere prisforskelle ikke har påvirket importørernes salgspriser og fortjenstmargener, som er forblevet forholdsvis stabile.
This is confirmed by the fact that past price differences did not affect the sales price and profit margins of the importers as they remained fairly stable.
Den foreløbige konklusion i forordningen om midlertidig told, dvs. at højere importpriser ikke forventes at få stor virkning for importørerne, bekræftes hermed.
The provisional conclusion drawn in the provisional Regulation, i.e. that the effects on the importers by increased prices of imports are not expected to be substantial, is hereby confirmed.
Samarbejdets omfang
Level of cooperation
Som anført i betragtning 127 i forordningen om midlertidig told var brugernes og forarbejdningsvirksomhedernes reaktion begrænset i begyndelsen.
As noted in recital 127 of the provisional Regulation, the response from users and processors was limited at the outset.
I forbindelse med den foreløbige undersøgelse havde Kommissionen vanskeligt ved at indsamle og efterprøve data, som kunne underbygge brugerindustriens påstande.
In the preliminary stage of the proceeding the Commission encountered difficulties in collecting and verifying data which would substantiate the claims of the user industry.
Efter offentliggørelsen af forordningen om midlertidig told gjorde Kommissionen derfor en fornyet indsats for at tilskynde til samarbejde.
After publication of the provisional Regulation, the Commission renewed therefore its efforts to encourage cooperation.
Der blev aflagt supplerende kontrolbesøg hos otte brugervirksomheder.
Supplementary on-the spot verification visits took place in the premises of eight user companies.
Fem af disse virksomheder leverede data, som kunne bruges til en konsekvensanalyse, der gav mening.
Out of these, data that allowed for a meaningful impact assessment could be obtained from five companies.
Der blev indsamlet yderligere oplysninger og data.
Additional information and data were collected.
Med udgangspunkt i disse supplerende oplysninger foretog Kommissionens tjenestegrene en ny analyse af de virkninger, som foranstaltninger eventuelt kunne få for EF-brugerne.
With this supplementary information, the Commission services undertook a new analysis of the potential effects that the imposition of measures would have upon Community users.
En interesseret part hævdede, at der ikke burde tages hensyn til dette samarbejde, da det ikke var blevet givet til kende inden fristen i indledningsmeddelelsen.
One interested party argued that this cooperation should not be considered as it was not submitted within the time limits set in the Notice of Initiation.
I den forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at de samarbejdende virksomheder gav sig til kende og fremsatte bemærkninger om de midlertidige foranstaltninger i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens bestemmelser.
In this regard, it has to be noted that the cooperating companies made themselves known and provided comments on the provisional measures in accordance with the rules laid down in the basic Regulation.
De oplysninger, der blev efterprøvet på stedet, tegner sig for ca. 9 % af det samlede forbrug i Fællesskabet.
The information verified on the spot concerns around 9 % of the overall Community level of consumption.
Endvidere var de forskellige brugersektorer repræsenteret; producenter af jordbærtilberedninger, som bruges i andre varer (f.eks. yoghurt), yoghurtproducenter og producenter af jordbærsyltetøj og -marmelade.
In addition, the different user sectors were represented: producers of strawberry preparations used as input for other products (e.g. yoghurts), yoghurt producers, and producers of strawberry jam.
Endelig tegner de samarbejdende sammenslutninger sig for ca. 80 % af Fællesskabets forbrug af frosne jordbær.
Finally, the cooperating associations represent around 80 % of the Community consumption of frozen strawberries.
Det er almindelig praksis at anerkende et sådant niveau som værende repræsentativt.
The recognition of such a level of representativity is consistent with the general practice.
Derfor blev argumentet om manglende repræsentativitet afvist.
Therefore, the argument on lack of representativity had to be rejected.
Foranstaltningernes indvirkning på omkostningerne
Cost impact of measures
Brugerindustrien hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke burde evaluere foranstaltningernes indvirkning ved blot at analysere en eventuel prisstigning på importerede jordbær fra Kina.
The user industry claimed that the Commission should evaluate the impact of measures not only by analysing a possible price increase of imported Chinese strawberries.
Foranstaltninger ville få en bred vifte af konsekvenser for markedet, f.eks. også for frosne jordbær fra andre kilder.
Measures would have a broader impact on the market including frozen strawberries from other sources.
En nærmere analyse har faktisk vist, at foranstaltninger med stor sandsynlighed vil forårsage en mere generel prisstigning, som ikke er begrænset til 34,2 % (den midlertidige toldsats) for jordbær fra Kina.
Indeed, the deepened investigation has shown that measures will very likely provoke a more general price rise, not limited to the order of 34,2 % (level of the provisional duty) for Chinese strawberries.
De kan også føre til en prisstigning for EF-erhvervsgrenen på ca. 19 %, op til det beregnede ikke-skadevoldende niveau.
They may also be likely to lead to a price increase for the Community industry by about 19 %, up to the calculated non-injurious level.
Det ser faktisk ud til, at det er umuligt at undgå en sådan generel prisstigning, for til forskel fra andre sektorer og i betragtning af de begrænsninger, der følger af vejret og høstresultaterne, har EF-erhvervsgrenen sandsynligvis ikke mulighed for at anvende andre strategier, som f.eks. en forøgelse af afsætningen på markedet.
Such an overall price increase would indeed appear unavoidable because, unlike in other sectors and in view of the limitations imposed by the weather and crop results, other strategies such as market expansion in terms of volumes would appear not to be an option for the Community industry.
Da EF-erhvervsgrenen og importen fra Kina tilsammen tegner sig for ca. 80 % af Fællesskabets forbrug, er det endelig også meget sandsynligt, at andre lande, som eksporterer frosne jordbær til Fællesskabet, også vil hæve deres priser for at følge »de prisførende«.
Finally, since the Community industry and the Chinese imports combined represent about 80 % of Community consumption, it is very likely that other countries exporting frozen strawberries to the Community will also increase their prices in order to follow the ‘price leaders’.
Hvad angår brugernes jordbærrelaterede aktiviteter, vil indførelsen af told svarende til de midlertidige foranstaltninger under disse omstændigheder medføre en stigning i omkostningerne til input for brugerne på i gennemsnit ca. 6 %.
Regarding the strawberry-related activities of the users, under these circumstances the imposition of a duty at the level set in the provisional measures would entail a cost increase of inputs for the users of on average around 6 %.
En hel del af brugerne ville faktisk blive tvunget ud i en tabsgivende situation.
Indeed, quite a few of the users would be forced into a loss making position.
Konklusionerne er baseret på de jordbærrelaterede aktiviteter, eftersom undersøgelsen fokuserer på frosne jordbær som den pågældende vare og ikke vedrører andre af de involverede virksomheders aktiviteter.
The conclusions have been based on the strawberry related activities, as the investigation focuses on frozen strawberries as the product concerned and does not concern other activities of the companies involved.
I forbindelse med en skade- og dumpinganalyse er det også nødvendigt at sikre, at de samme aktiviteter sammenlignes, dvs. aktiviteter i tilknytning til den vare, der undersøges.
Also for the purpose of carrying out an injury and dumping analysis it has to be ensured that like activities are being compared, i.e. activities related to the product under investigation.

De samarbejdende producenter af jordbærtilberedninger og syltetøj og marmelade ville blive mest påvirket af en stigning i jordbærpriserne.
The cooperating producers of strawberry preparations and jam would be the most affected by an increase in strawberry prices.
Det skyldes, at jordbær spiller en meget større rolle end andre ingredienser i syltetøjs- og marmeladeopskrifter.
This is due to the fact that the relative importance of strawberries in the jam recipe is far greater than that of the other ingredients.
For de pågældende virksomheder ville faldet i fortjenstmargenen ligge på 7-8 procentpoint, og det ville udløse et tab på ca. 5 % for to af dem.
For the companies in question, the deterioration of their profit margin would be in the range of between 7 to 8 percentage points, which for two of them would trigger losses of around 5 %.
For de samarbejdende yoghurtproducenter tegner udgifterne til jordbær sig for en forholdsvis mindre del af deres produktionsomkostninger, for udgifterne til mælkeprodukter indgår i beregningen for opskriften.
For the cooperating yoghurt producers the relative importance of the cost of strawberries in their cost of production is less, since the cost of milk products is added to the recipe calculation.
Men det kunne konstateres, at deres fortjenstmargen i gennemsnit var ret lav.
Nevertheless, it was found that their profit margin, on average, was quite low.
Selvom de samlede produktionsomkostninger i forbindelse med en given yoghurt kun stiger med 2 %, er det tilstrækkeligt til at ændre en fortjeneste på ca. 1 % til et tab på ca. 1 %.
Thus, even if the total cost for the production of given yoghurt only increases by 2 %, this is sufficient to turn a profit of around 1 % into a loss of around 1 %.
Derfor kan foranstaltningernes virkning for brugerindustrien i form af en stigning i omkostningerne blive større end skønnet i forbindelse med den analyse, der førte til midlertidige foranstaltninger.
Consequently, the impact of measures on the user industry in terms of the cost increase might be greater than estimated in the analysis leading up to the provisional measures.
Men som det fremgår af punkt 4.4 nedenfor, vil virkningen på omkostningerne sandsynligvis mærkes mindre på lang sigt.
However, as shown below in Section 4.4, this cost impact is likely to be less hard felt in the long term.
Manglende muligheder for at overføre omkostningsstigninger i distributionskæden
Inability to pass on cost increases in the distribution chain
En brugersammenslutning hævdede, at told ville være til skade for EF-baserede brugere af frosne jordbær, som er konkurrencedygtige på verdensmarkedet.
One user association claimed that duties would damage internationally competitive Community based users of frozen strawberries.
Sammenslutningen hævdede, at tolden ikke kunne overføres til kunderne (detailhandlere og distributører), eftersom mange brugere indgik langfristede fastpriskontrakter med disse kunder.
It was claimed that the duties could not be passed onto their customers (retailers and distributors) since many users concluded long term contracts with fixed prices with these customers.
De faste priser betyder, at brugerne skal finansiere eventuelle yderligere prisstigninger.
These fixed prices mean that the users bear the risk of any additional price rises.
Mange brugere hævdede og kunne dokumentere, at de store detailhandlere/distributører trykkede priserne, og at det var meget vanskeligt at hæve priserne.
Many users claimed and provided evidence that they were under price pressure from the big retailers/distributors and that it was very difficult to raise their prices.
Det hævdedes, at priserne i kontrakterne mellem brugere og detailhandel fastsættes for en periode på fra seks måneder til et år.
It has been held that the contracts between users and the retail sector fix the prices for periods between 6 months and a year.
Derfor hævder brugerne, at de ikke har andet valg end at afholde de yderligere omkostninger selv.
Therefore, the users claim that they would have no choice but to absorb the additional costs themselves.
I betragtning af ovenstående må det antages, at brugerne sandsynligvis er nødt til at afholde de øgede udgifter, i det mindste på kort sigt.
In view of the above it must be recognised that the users are likely to have to absorb the increase in cost, at least in the short term.
Men undersøgelsen har imidlertid også vist, at til trods for foranstaltningernes negative konsekvenser for rentabiliteten i forbindelse med varer, som den pågældende vare indgår i, ville brugervirksomhedernes samlede rentabilitet forblive positiv for de flestes vedkommende.
The investigation has also revealed, however, that notwithstanding the negative effect of measures on the profitability for products incorporating the product concerned, the overall profitability of the user companies would remain positive for most of the users.
Omkostningsstigninger kan få en vis indvirkning på priserne, hvis de kan overføres til forbrugerne.
To the extent that cost increases can be passed on, this may have a certain effect on consumer prices.
Frugttilberedninger, navnlig yoghurt, indgår som en fast del af mange forbrugeres kost.
Indeed fruit preparations, especially yoghurts, are part of the staple diet for a large segment of consumers.
Yoghurt med jordbærsmag tegner sig for ca. 20-30 % af yoghurtmarkedet, og selvom ingen forbrugersammenslutninger har fremsat bemærkninger, kan det ikke udelukkes, at en prisstigning kan få følger for forbrugerne, i det mindste på mellemlang sigt.
Strawberry flavour makes up around 20 % to 30 % of the yoghurt market and notwithstanding the fact that no consumer organisations have made submissions in this respect, it cannot be excluded that a price increase could have an impact on consumers, at least in the medium to long term.
Det samme gælder for syltetøj og marmelade.
The same holds true for jams.
Tidsbegrænset virkning for brugerne
The temporary nature of impact on users
Som det fremgår af punkt 4.3 og 4.4, vil foranstaltninger sandsynligvis få konsekvenser for omkostningerne i forbindelse med brugernes input af råvarer, og brugerne har endvidere anført, at de selv bliver nødt til at finansiere stigningen i omkostningerne i den periode, som kontrakten med detailhandelen omfatter.
Under Sections 4.2 and 4.3 it has been demonstrated that the imposition of measures is likely to have an impact on the cost of input materials of the users and users have furthermore asserted that this cost increase will have to be borne by themselves for the duration of the contract with the retail sector.
Det må dog formodes, at der bliver mulighed for at overføre en eventuel stigning i omkostningerne senere, for kontrakterne er af begrænset varighed.
It could however be presumed that this inability to pass on an eventual cost increase is temporary, as the duration of the contracts is limited in time.
EF-erhvervsgrenens forsyningsmuligheder
Availability of Community industry supplies
De fleste brugere anførte, at udbuddet af polske jordbær af Senga Sengana-sorten er af afgørende betydning både for omfanget og kvaliteten af hele den række varer, som fremstilles af frosne jordbær.
It has been broadly held by the users that the supply of Polish strawberries of the Senga sengana variety is essential to the volume as well as to the quality of the production of the full range of products derived from frozen strawberries.
Derfor ville en forværring af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation få en betydelig negativ virkning for dem.
Thus, the danger of deterioration of the situation of the Community industry would have a considerable negative impact upon them.
Det kan ikke udelukkes, at brugerne i tilfælde af begrænset eller manglende udbud af polske jordbær på markedet ville få alvorlige problemer med at finde alternative forsyningskilder for de jordbærsorter, der dyrkes i Polen.
It cannot be excluded that in the situation of limited availability or unavailability of the Polish strawberries on the market, the users would face serious problems in finding alternative sources of supply for the varieties of strawberries produced in Poland.
Det ser faktisk ud til, at det er højst usandsynligt, at der kan findes sådanne alternative kilder, for brugerne har selv anført, at jordbær af den kvalitet, der findes i Polen, ikke findes andetsteds.
In fact, it seems highly improbable that such alternative sources could be found as the users themselves stated that the quality found in Poland could not be found anywhere else.
Det kan heller ikke udelukkes, at brugerne selv i en situation med mindre konkurrence på markedet alligevel ville blive konfronteret med en prisstigning.
Furthermore, it could not be excluded that in a situation of reduced competition on the market the users would anyway be faced with the price increase.
Undersøgelsen har vist, at foranstaltningerne ikke alene ville være til fordel for EF-producenterne, som har ca. 2700 ansatte, men også for de ca. 80000 producenter, hvis eksistensgrundlag bygger mere eller mindre på jordbær.
The investigation has shown that not only the Community producers employing around 2700 persons but also the around 80000 farmers that are more or less dependent on strawberries for their livelihood would benefit from the imposition of measures.
Som beskrevet i betragtning 133 i forordningen om midlertidig told, har brugerindustrien anført, at de er afhængige af EF-erhvervsgrenens leverancer af den pågældende vare for at kunne dække hele varerækken og forsyne markedet med en vare af høj kvalitet.
As detailed in recital 133 of the provisional Regulation, the user industry has indicated that the supply of the product concerned by Community industry is essential in order for the users to cover their full range and provide a high quality product to the market.
