Gennemsnitsprisen for denne import steg generelt med 46 % mellem 2003 og undersøgelsesperioden, men priserne var generelt lavere end EF-erhvervsgrenens i den betragtede periode, undtagen det ekstraordinære år 2004.
The average price of these imports increased by 46 % overall between 2003 and the IP, but prices were generally lower than those of the Community industry during the period considered, expect for the exceptional year of 2004.
I undersøgelsesperioden underbød gennemsnitsprisen for import fra Kina EF-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitspriser med 10,2 %.
In the IP, the average prices of imports from the PRC undercut the average Community industry prices by 10,2 %.
For at sikre sin tilstedeværelse på hjemmemarkedet og på grund af de lave priser forårsaget af importen fra Kina var EF-erhvervsgrenen tvunget til at sænke sine salgspriser med 29 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Community industry, in order to ensure its presence on its home market and due to the low market prices set by imports from the PRC, felt obliged to decrease its sales prices by 29 % during the IP.
Til trods herfor mistede EF-erhvervsgrenen 2,5 % af sin markedsandel fra 2005 til undersøgelsesperioden.
Nevertheless, it lost 2,5 % of its market share from 2005 to the IP.
Som følge af denne illoyale prispolitik i forbindelse med dumpingimporten fra Kina blev EF-erhvervsgrenens priser trykket og kunne ikke længere dække de betydelige omkostninger til råmaterialer.
Therefore, the effect of this unfair pricing behaviour of the dumped imports from the PRC was that the Community industry's prices were suppressed and that they could no longer cover the high cost of raw materials.
Det blev yderligere bekræftet af den betydelige forringelse af EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet i undersøgelsesperioden.
This was confirmed by the plummeting profitability of the Community industry during the IP.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at lavprisimporten fra Kina, som i væsentlig grad underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser i undersøgelsesperioden, og hvis omfang også øgedes, spillede en afgørende rolle ved forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation, hvilket afspejles i det markante fald i rentabiliteten og forværring af andre finansielle indikatorer i undersøgelsesperioden, samt i et fald i markedsandelen.
Based on the above, it is provisionally concluded that the low-priced imports from the PRC which significantly undercut the prices of the Community industry during the IP and which also increased in volume have had a determining role in the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry, which is reflected in the sharp decrease of profitability and deterioration of other financial indicators during the IP, as well as in loss of market share.
Det fremgår af tabellen nedenfor, at EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportsalgsmængde for koks 80+ faldt med 36 % i den betragtede periode.
As can be seen from the table below, the volume of export sales of Coke 80+ by the Community industry decreased by 36 % during the period considered.
I undersøgelsesperioden derimod, hvor EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet, som forklaret ovenfor, styrtdykkede, var der en væsentlig fremgang i eksportsalget.
However, during the IP, when the profitability of the Community industry plummeted, as explained above, the export sales picked up considerably.
Hertil kommer, at eksportsalgsniveauet ikke er specielt vigtigt i sammenhæng med EF-erhvervsgrenens samlede salg, da eksporten kun udgør 10 % af det samlede salg i undersøgelsesperioden.
In addition, the level of export sales is not very important in the context of the Community industry's overall sales, representing only 10 % of total sales in the IP.
Kommissionen finder derfor, at faldet i eksportaktiviteten ikke væsentligt har bidraget til den materielle skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
It is therefore considered that the drop in these exports did not have a significant impact on the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Eksportsalgsmængde (tons)
Export sales volume (tonnes)
I henhold til de bedste oplysninger anført i betragtning 38 ovenfor var der ingen import fra andre tredjelande end Kina i den betragtede periode.
According to the best facts available mentioned in recital 38, there were no imports from third countries other than the PRC during the period considered.
Kommissionen finder derfor, at import til EU med oprindelse i andre tredjelande ikke har bidraget til den materielle skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Therefore, it is concluded that imports into the EC originating in other third countries did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Konkurrence fra de øvrige EF-producenter
Competition from other Community producers
Som allerede anført i betragtning 35 ovenfor samarbejdede de to øvrige EF-producenter ikke i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
As indicated in recital 35, the two other Community producers did not cooperate with the investigation.
Disse to producenter stillede dog visse oplysninger om deres samlede produktion og salgsmængder til rådighed for Kommissionen, som blev sammenholdt med oplysninger indhentet fra de samarbejdende EF-producenter.
These two producers, however, provided the Commission with certain information concerning their overall production and sales volumes, which was cross-checked against information obtained from the cooperating Community producers.
Der fandtes ingen oplysninger om de øvrige EF-producenters salgspriser.
No information was available concerning the sales prices of the other Community producers.
Ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger skønnes det, at de to øvrige EF-producenters salgsmængde i Fællesskabet udgjorde mellem 280000 og 380000 tons i undersøgelsesperioden [8].
On the basis of the available data, it is estimated that the sales volume of the two other Community producers in the Community was in the range of 280000 and 380000 tonnes during the IP [8].
Tilsvarende udgjorde deres markedsandel omkring 20 %.
Similarly, their corresponding market share was around 20 %.
Som konstateret ovenfor forblev EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel relativt stabil i hele den betragtede periode, mens den kinesiske imports markedsandel i samme periode steg med 4 procentpoint.
As established above, the Community industry's market share remained relatively stable over the whole period considered, whereas the Chinese imports gained market share over the same period by 4 percentage points.
Derfor må importen fra Kina logisk set også have overtaget væsentlige markedsandele fra de øvrige EF-producenter, når man betragter hele perioden.
Therefore, the Chinese imports must logically have gained volumes mainly from other Community producers when considering the whole period.
Imidlertid svarer den vækst på 3 procentpoint af markedsandelen, som den kinesiske import opnåede i undersøgelsesperioden, til et tilsvarende tab i markedsandelen for EF-erhvervsgrenen (2,5 procentpoint).
However, the 3 percentage points gain of market share obtained by the Chinese imports during the IP corresponds to a loss of market share by the Community industry of a similar magnitude (2,5 percentage points).
I betragtning af ovennævnte og de manglende oplysninger om det modsatte konkluderes det foreløbigt, at de øvrige EF-producenter ikke har bidraget til den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Given the above, and in the absence of information to the contrary, it is concluded that the other Community producers have not contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Visse interesserede parter hævdede, at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt, skyldtes stigninger i råvarepriserne.
Some interested parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Community industry was attributable to the increases in the cost of raw materials.
Det konstateredes, at den grundlæggende råvare, der anvendes ved fremstillingen af koks 80+, er kokskul, der tegner sig for omkring 50 % af produktionsomkostningerne for koks 80+.
In this respect, it was found that the basic raw material used in the production of Coke 80+, coking coal, represents around 50 % of the cost of manufacturing of Coke 80+.
Det kokskul, der benyttes af EF-erhvervsgrenen, importeres fra USA, undtagen for én EF-producent, der anvender lokalt udvundet kokskul.
The coking coal used by the Community industry is sourced from the USA, except for one Community industry producer, which uses locally sourced coking coal.
For så vidt angår priserne på det af EF-erhvervsgrenen benyttede kokskul fremgik det af undersøgelsen, at de steg væsentligt og konstant i den betragtede periode, som det fremgår af nedenstående tabel:
As regards the prices of the coking coal used by the Community industry, the investigation showed that these increased significantly and constantly over the period considered, as illustrated in the table below:
Gennemsnitspris for kokskul (EUR/ton produceret koks 80+)
Average coking coal cost (EUR/tonne of Coke 80+ produced)
I denne forbindelse kunne stigningen i råvarepriserne mellem 2003 og 2005 overvæltes på EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser, der som nævnt i betragtning 51 steg i samme periode, hvilket faldt sammen med EF-erhvervsgrenens højere fortjenstmargener.
In this respect, it is noted that the increase in raw material prices between 2003 and 2005 could be passed on to the sales prices of the Community industry, which, as mentioned in recital 51, increased during the same period, coinciding with the higher profit margins of the Community industry.
I modsætning hertil forværredes EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation dramatisk i undersøgelsesperioden, til trods for en prisstigning på råmaterialer på kun 1 procentpoint i forhold til 2005, da EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser faldt kraftigt.
On the contrary, during the IP, despite the only 1 percentage point increase in the price of the raw material as compared to year 2005, the financial situation of the Community industry deteriorated dramatically, since its sales prices decreased significantly.
Kommissionen finder derfor, at råvarepriserne ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, som er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Consequently, it is considered that the prices of the raw materials did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Det kan konkluderes, at ovenstående analyse har vist, at importen fra Kina bevirkede et væsentligt prisfald på fællesskabsmarkedet i undersøgelsesperioden, hvor importen fra Kina i væsentlig grad underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser.
In conclusion, the above analysis has demonstrated that imports from the PRC provoked a substantial price depression on the Community market during the IP, when the imports from the PRC severely undercut the Community industry prices.
Dette prisfald førte til et skarpt fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser, hvilket faldt sammen med et abrupt fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet, forrentning af investeringer og likviditet.
This price depression led to a considerable decrease in the sales prices of the Community industry, which in turn coincided with a sharp drop in the Community industry’s profitability, return on investments and cash flow.
Herudover bevirkede den øgede import fra Kina i undersøgelsesperioden en stigende markedsandel (3 procentpoint), hvilket medførte et tilsvarende fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel (2,5 procentpoint).
In addition, the increased Chinese imports during the IP led to a gain in market share (3 percentage points), which is reflected in a loss of Community industry's market share by a similar percentage (2,5 percentage points).
På den anden side set viste undersøgelsen af andre faktorer, der kunne have skadet EF-erhvervsgrenen, at ingen af disse kunne have haft nogen væsentlig virkning.
On the other hand, the examination of other factors which could have injured the Community industry revealed that none of these could have had a significant negative impact.
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, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at dumpingimporten med oprindelse i det pågældende land har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports originating in the country concerned have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
På dette grundlag undersøgtes det, om der til trods for konklusionerne om dumping, skade og årsagssammenhæng er tvingende grunde til at konkludere, at det ikke er i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre foranstaltninger i dette bestemte tilfælde.
The Commission examined whether, despite the conclusions on dumping, injury and causation, compelling reasons exist which would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Community interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
Der blev således i henhold til artikel 21, stk. 1, i grundforordningen taget hensyn til de mulige virkninger for alle involverede parter i procedurerne, hvis der indføres foranstaltninger, eller hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger.
For this purpose, and pursuant to Article 21(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission considered the likely impact of measures for all parties concerned, as well as the likely consequences of not taking measures.
De faktiske tal er i det efterfølgende blevet indekseret af fortrolighedshensyn.
For reasons of confidentiality, instead of actual figures, data relating to individual importers or users are given below in ranges.
Virkningerne på EF-erhvervsgrenen
Interest of the Community industry
Som allerede anført i betragtning 35 ovenfor består EF-erhvervsgrenen af fem virksomheder med produktionsanlæg i Tjekkiet, Italien og Spanien, der beskæftiger omkring 750 personer, der er direkte involveret i produktion, salg og administration af den samme vare.
As indicated in recital 35, the Community industry is composed of five companies, with production facilities in the Czech Republic, Italy and Spain, and it employs around 750 persons directly involved in the production, sales and administration of the like product.
Hvis der derimod ikke bliver truffet nogen antidumpingforanstaltninger, kan der forventes en fortsat negativ tendens i udviklingen af EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle indikatorer, og ikke mindst rentabiliteten.
On the other hand, should anti-dumping measures not be imposed, it is likely that the negative trend in the development of the Community industry's financial indicators, and notably its profitability, will continue.
EF-erhvervsgrenen vil så miste yderligere betydelige markedsandele, da den ikke længere vil være i stand til at følge markedspriserne for varer importeret fra Kina.
The Community industry will then be likely to continue losing market share, as it will no longer be able to follow the market prices set by dumped imports from the PRC.
Dette vil sandsynligvis føre til nedskæringer i produktion og investeringer, lukning af visse produktionsanlæg og nedlæggelse af arbejdspladser i Fællesskabet.
This will likely lead to cuts in production and investments, closure of certain production capacities and job reductions in the Community.
Virkningen af foranstaltningerne på ikke-relaterede importører/forhandlere i Fællesskabet
Interest of unrelated importers/traders in the Community
Som allerede anført i betragtning 9 ovenfor indkom der kun besvaret spørgeskema fra én importør/forhandler.
As indicated in recital 9, only one importer/trader submitted a questionnaire reply.
Ud fra oplysningerne i betragtning 36 stod denne virksomhed i undersøgelsesperioden for næsten hele Fællesskabets import af den pågældende vare.
On the basis of information mentioned in recital 36, during the IP, this company accounted for almost all Community imports of the product concerned.
Med udgangspunkt i de af den pågældende importør fremsendte oplysninger kunne det fastslås, at andelen af importen af den pågældende vare fra Kina udgjorde omkring 20 % af virksomhedens samlede omsætning i undersøgelsesperioden.
On the basis of information submitted by the importer concerned, it was established that the proportion of imports of the product concerned from the PRC represented around 20 % of the company's total turnover during the IP.
Den pågældende importør/forhandler køber ikke udelukkende koks 80+ fra Kina, men også andetsteds, bl.a. hos EF-erhvervsgrenen.
The importer/trader purchases Coke 80+ not only from the PRC but also from other sources, including the Community industry.
Den gennemsnitlige fortjenstmargen for den pågældende importør/forhandler i dennes handel med koks 80+ er på 5-10 %.
The average profit margin attained by the importer in question, on its trading of Coke 80+, is around 5-10 %.
Den samarbejdende importør går ikke ind for, at der indføres foranstaltninger.
The cooperating importer is not in favour of the imposition of measures.
På grund af den meget stærke stilling, som denne importør har inden for import af den pågældende vare, er det dog sandsynligt, at størstedelen, om ikke alle prisstigninger, på grund af foranstaltningerne vil kunne væltes over på brugerne.
However, given the very strong position this importer has in the imports of the product concerned, it would likely be able to pass on most, if not all, additional costs caused by the anti-dumping measures to users.
I den forbindelse vil indførelsen af antidumpingtold på import fra Kina, jf. betragtning 82 ovenfor, højst sandsynligt føre til en justering af markedspriserne i en let opadgående retning.
In this respect, the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on imports from the PRC, as explained in recital 82, will most likely lead to an upwards correction of market prices.
Derfor kan importører, som køber den pågældende vare i Kina, forventes at kunne vælte disse toldomkostninger over på den endelige kunde.
Therefore, it can be expected that importers which buy the product from the PRC will be able to pass on these duty costs to the final customer.
I betragtning af, hvor lidt salget af denne vare betyder i importørens aktiviteter og dennes fortjenstmargen på handel med koks 80+, forventes den foreløbigt fastsatte told under alle omstændigheder ikke i væsentlig grad at påvirke denne erhvervsdrivendes finansielle situation.
In any case, in view of the relatively limited weight of this product in the importer's activities, and the profit margin currently attained with regard to its trading of Coke 80+, it is expected that a duty, as provisionally established, would not affect the financial situation of this economic operator to a significant extent.
Virkningen af foranstaltningerne på brugerne
Interest of users
Som allerede anført i betragtning 9 ovenfor blev der modtaget besvarelser af spørgeskemaerne og andre bemærkninger fra et stort antal brugere og deres sammenslutninger.
As indicated in recital 9, questionnaire replies and other submissions were received from a large number of users and their associations.
Brugerindustrien i Fællesskabet består af to hovedsektorer, nemlig producenter af stenuld og støberier.
The Community user industry is comprised of two major sectors, namely producers of stone wool and foundries.
Stenuldproducenter
Stone-wool producers
Datterselskaber af Rockwool International A/S (herefter »Rockwool«), der tegner sig for næsten hele produktionen af stenuld i Fællesskabet, besvarede det spørgeskema for brugere, det modtog i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Users’ questionnaires were submitted by subsidiaries of Rockwool International A/S (Rockwool), the major stone wool producer group in the Community.
Rockwool anvender i forbindelse med produktionen af stenuld koks 80+ som forbrændingsmiddel til smeltning af sten.
Rockwool uses Coke 80+ in stone wool production as a combustion agent to melt stone.
Stenuld benyttes hovedsagelig som isoleringsmateriale.
Stone wool is used mainly as insulation material.
Rockwool-gruppen havde som helhed i undersøgelsesperioden en fortjenstmargen på over 10 %.
The profit margin attained by the whole Rockwool group during the IP was above 10 %.
Det er konstateret, at Rockwool tegnede sig for omkring 13 % af det samlede forbrug af koks 80+ i Fællesskabet i undersøgelsesperioden og for omkring 18 % af den samlede import af kinesisk koks 80+.
It was found that Rockwool represented around 13 % of the total consumption of Coke 80+ in the Community during the IP and around 18 % of total imports of Chinese Coke 80+.
Selskabet har 15 produktionsanlæg i Fællesskabet, der tilsammen beskæftiger omkring 6600 personer.
The company has 15 production plants in the Community, employing a total of around 6600 persons.
Kinesisk koks 80+ benyttes af produktionsanlæg i tre EU-medlemsstater, der samlet beskæftiger 2400 personer, hvorimod resten af produktionsanlæggene benytter EF-koks 80+.
Chinese Coke 80+ is used in its plants in three EU Member States, employing altogether 2400 employees, while the rest are using EC Coke 80+.
I undersøgelsesperioden tegnede koks 80+ sig for mellem 4 % og 8 % af de samlede produktionsomkostninger for de Rockwool-produktionsanlæg, der benytter kinesisk koks 80+.
During the IP, Coke 80+ was found to represent between 4 % and 8 % of the total costs of production of those Rockwool companies that used Chinese Coke 80+.
Støberier
Foundries
Støberier tegner sig for omkring 80 % af det samlede forbrug af koks 80+ i Fællesskabet.
Foundries are estimated to represent close to 80 % of the total consumption of coke 80+ in the Community.
Koks 80+ benyttes i støberierne som forbrændingsmiddel til smeltning af affaldsmetal til fremstilling af jernholdige støbninger, der benyttes ved fremstilling af dele til automobil-, ingeniør- og maskinsektoren samt til offentlige værker.
In the foundry industry, Coke 80+ is used as a combustion agent to melt scrap for the production of ferrous castings, which are used as input in the production of parts for the automotive, engineering, machinery and public utilities sectors.
Den mulige virkning af antidumpingforanstaltninger på støberier blev vurderet ud fra besvarelser af spørgeskemaer fra støberier i Fællesskabet, der repræsenterer omkring 18 % af det samlede forbrug af koks 80+ i Fællesskabet og også omkring 18 % af den samlede import af den pågældende vare fra Kina i undersøgelsesperioden.
The possible impact of any anti-dumping measures on foundries was estimated based on users’ questionnaire responses received from Community foundries representing around 18 % of total consumption of Coke 80+ in the Community and also around 18 % of total imports of the product concerned from the PRC during the IP.
Der blev også modtaget underbyggede bemærkninger fra udvalget for europæiske støberisammenslutninger (Committee of Associations of European Foundries) og den tyske nationale sammenslutning af støberier.
Substantiated claims were also received from the CAEF and from the German National Foundry Association.
Det er konstateret, at koks 80+ tegnede sig for 3-6 % af de undersøgte støberiers samlede produktionsomkostninger i undersøgelsesperioden.
Coke 80+ was found to represent during the IP 3 %-6 % of the total cost of production of the foundries included in the analysis.
Dette er i kontrast til påstanden fra udvalget for europæiske støberisammenslutninger, der hævder, at koksprisens andel i støbejernsprisen kan være op til 15 %.
This differs from the estimate made by the CAEF that the coke price might have a share in the production cost of castings of up to 15 %.
Argumenter fremsat af brugerne
Arguments presented by users
Brugernes første argument mod indførelsen af foranstaltninger er, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke alene har tilstrækkelig kapacitet til at dække efterspørgslen efter koks i Fællesskabet.
The first main argument put forward by the users against the imposition of measures is that the demand for coke in the Community cannot be met by the European producers alone.
