I den betragtede periode voksede forbruget med 14 %, hvilket især skyldtes en hurtigt voksende efterspørgsel efter PVA som råmateriale til produktion af polyvinylbutyral (PVB), som anvendes til fremstilling af PVB-folie og -ark.
Over the period considered, the consumption increase was 14 % which was mainly due to a fast growing demand for PVA as raw material for the production of polyvinyl butyral (PVB), which is used for the production of PVB film or sheets.
PVB-folie anvendes som mellemlæg i fremstillingen af lamineret sikkerhedsglas og i bil- og bygningsindustrien, som er stærkt voksende markeder i Fællesskabet.
PVB film is used as an interlayer in the production of laminated safety glass, in automotive and architectural markets, which is a strongly growing market in the Community.

Eftersom dumpingmargenen for Taiwan ligger under bagatelgrænsen, bør import fra dette land midlertidigt holdes uden for skadesvurderingen.
As the dumping margin found for Taiwan is below de minimis, imports originating in this country should be provisionally excluded from the injury assessment.
Den importerede mængde af den pågældende vare faldt med 39 procentpoint mellem 2003 og 2004, derefter voksede den med 29 procentpoint i 2005 for igen at falde lidt, så resultatet er et fald på 11 % i undersøgelsesperioden sammenlignet med 2003.
The volumes of imports of the product concerned decreased by 39 percentage points between 2003 and 2004, then increased by 29 percentage points in 2005 after which they went slightly down, resulting in a decrease of 11 % during the IP as compared to 2003.

Markedsandelen for importen fra Kina faldt også først brat og voksede siden.
The market share held by imports from the PRC also first sharply decreased and then went up.
I 2005 og i undersøgelsesperioden tegnede importen fra Kina sig for 13 % af det samlede fællesskabsmarked.
During 2005 and the IP imports from the PRC accounted for 13 % of the whole Community market.

Med henblik på at fastsætte prisunderbuddet undersøgte Kommissionen prisoplysningerne for undersøgelsesperioden.
For the determination of price undercutting the price data referring to the IP were analysed.
EF-erhvervsgrenens relevante salgspriser var nettopriser efter fradrag for rabatter og afslag.
The relevant sales prices of the Community industry were net prices after deduction of discounts and rebates.
Kinas importpriser var også nettopriser med fradrag for rabatter og afslag, og de blev om nødvendigt justeret til cif-priser, Fællesskabets grænse, med en passende justering for told (6,5 %) og importørens omkostninger efter import til Fællesskabet.
The import prices of the PRC were also net of discounts and rebates and were adjusted where necessary to cif Community frontier with an appropriate adjustment for the customs duties (6,5 %) and post-importation costs, as incurred by importers in the Community.
EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser og Kinas importpriser blev sammenlignet i samme handelsled, nemlig salg til uafhængige kunder på Fællesskabets marked.
The Community industry's sales prices and the import prices of the PRC were compared at the same level of trade, namely to independent customers within the Community market.
Da man var af den opfattelse, at sammenligningen pr. model skulle være meningsfyldt og rimelig, og at man derfor ikke burde tillade sammenligning mellem en standardmodel og en specialmodel, der falder ind under varedefinitionen, fandt man det hensigtsmæssigt at udelade et begrænset antal modeller fra sammenligningen.
As it was considered that the comparison per model had to be meaningful and fair, and, therefore, no comparison between a standard grade and a special grade falling within the product definition should be allowed, it was considered appropriate to exclude a limited number of models from the comparison.
Disse modeller udgjorde 35 % af importen fra Kina, men kun en meget lille del af EF-erhvervsgrenens salg på Fællesskabets marked.
These models represented 35 % of imports from the PRC but only a very small quantity of Community industry sales on the Community market.
I undersøgelsesperioden lå den således beregnede vejede gennemsnitlige prisunderbudsmargen, udtrykt i procent af EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser, på 3,3 % for Kina.
During the IP, the weighted average price undercutting margin thus calculated, expressed as a percentage of the Community industry's sales prices, was 3,3 % for the PRC.

The Community industry’s production increased by 26 % during the period considered.
Den betydeligt øgede produktionskapacitet, især i 2005, blev udløst af den voksende efterspørgsel på Fællesskabets marked.
The significant increase in production capacity, notably in 2005, was triggered by the increasing demand on the Community market.
Mellem 2003 og undersøgelsesperioden skabte EF-erhvervsgrenen yderligere produktionskapacitet.
Between 2003 and the IP, additional production capacity was installed by the Community industry.
I den samme periode faldt kapacitetsudnyttelsen med 6 %.
During the same period, capacity utilisation decreased by 6 %.

Sales volumes of the Community industry to independent customers in the Community went up by 22 % from 2003 to the IP.
Dette skal ses i lyset af et voksende forbrug i Fællesskabet.
This has to be seen in the light of an increasing consumption in the Community.
EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel voksede i 2004, faldt drastisk i 2005, og i undersøgelsesperioden var den 4 % højere end i 2003.
The market share of the Community industry increased in 2004, then decreased sharply in 2005 and during the IP it was four percentage points higher than in 2003.

Hovedråmaterialet til fremstilling af PVA er vinylacetatmonomer (VAM).
The main raw material used for the production of PVA is vinyl acetate monomer or VAM.
VAM er en råvare, og priserne på VAM fastsættes derfor ud fra balancen på markedet mellem udbud og efterspørgsel.
VAM is a commodity product and, as such, prices of VAM are determined based on the balance in the market between demand and supply.
Endvidere er markedsprisen på VAM i høj grad påvirket af udviklingen i olie- og gaspriserne, eftersom de væsentligste input i fremstillingen af VAM er eddikesyre (hvis fremstilling er naturgasintensiv) og ethylen (der fremstilles ved destillation af carbonhydrider).
Moreover, the market price of VAM is heavily influenced by the development of the oil and gas prices as the major inputs for the production of VAM are acetic acid (the production of which is natural gas intensive) and ethylene (produced from distillation of hydrocarbons).
Desuden er energi også en større omkostning i fremstillingen af PVA på basis af VAM.
In addition, energy is also a major cost in producing PVA from VAM.
Energiomkostningernes samlede vægt i fremstillingen af PVA er derfor på 50-60 %, hvorfor en væsentlig ændring i olie- og gaspriserne under normale omstændigheder kan forventes at have en direkte indvirkning på PVA-salgspriserne.
The total weight of energy cost in the production of PVA subsequently amounts to 50 % to 60 % and therefore, in normal circumstances, a significant change in the oil and gas prices can be expected to have a direct impact on the PVA sales price.
Det konstateredes, at verdensmarkedspriserne på disse råmaterialer steg væsentligt mellem 2003 og undersøgelsesperioden.
It was found that world market prices of these raw materials went up significantly between 2003 and the IP.
I løbet af denne periode voksede VAM-priserne med 20-30 %, og stigningen i energipriserne var endnu større.
During this period VAM prices increased by 20 % to 30 % and the increase in energy prices was even much higher.
Denne drastiske udvikling i de vigtigste råmaterialeomkostninger afspejlede sig imidlertid ikke i højere salgspriser i EF-erhvervsgrenen: EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser faldt i samme periode med 5 %, og 2004 var et særlig dårligt år (– 7 %).
However, this dramatic price evolution of the main raw materials cost was not reflected in higher sales prices of the Community industry: sales prices of the Community industry decreased during the same period by 5 %, with a particularly bad year in 2004 (– 7 %).
EF-erhvervsgrenen overførte altså ikke de stigende omkostninger til sine kunder, men var nødt til at sænke sine priser for ikke at miste kunder.
Thus, instead of passing on the overall cost increase to their customers, the Community industry had to decrease prices in order not to lose customers.

De faldt med 13 % mellem 2003 og 2004, voksede derefter med 9 procentpoint indtil udgangen af 2005 og faldt derefter med 9 procentpoint igen.
It decreased by 13 % between 2003 and 2004, subsequently increased by nine percentage points until the end of 2005 and then decreased again by nine percentage points.
Investeringerne toppede i 2004 og 2005, da produktionskapaciteten i EF-erhvervsgrenen voksede som følge af den voksende efterspørgsel på markedet.
Investments peaked in 2004 and 2005, when the production capacity of the Community industry was increased following the increasing demand on the market.
I løbet af undersøgelsen konstateredes det, at investeringerne i bygninger, fabrikker og maskineri i 2003 og i undersøgelsesperioden hovedsagelig havde til formål at opretholde produktionskapaciteten.
During the investigation it was found that investments in buildings, plants and machinery in 2003 as well as during the IP were mainly to maintain the production capacity.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske resultater blev forringet, men det fremgik ikke, at dens evne til at rejse kapital blev påvirket i alvorlig grad i den betragtede periode.
The investigation showed that the financial performance of the Community industry deteriorated but it did not reveal that its ability to raise capital was seriously affected yet during the period considered.
I betragtning af den vigtigste EF-producents meget høje og forvridende ekstraordinære omkostninger i den betragtede periode fandtes det ikke hensigtsmæssigt at fastsætte rentabiliteten på grundlag af nettofortjenesten før skat.
In view of very high and distorting extraordinary costs incurred by the main Community producer during the period considered, it was not considered reasonable to establish the profitability on the basis of the pre-tax net profit.
Disse ekstraordinære omkostninger hang sammen med ejerskifte hos den vigtigste EF-producent i 2001.
These extraordinary costs were related to the change of ownership of the main Community producer in 2001.
Derfor blev EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet beregnet som driftsoverskuddet ved salg af samme vare til uafhængige kunder udtrykt i procent af omsætningen i forbindelse med dette salg.
Therefore, the profitability of the Community industry was established by expressing the operating profit on the sales of the like product to unrelated customers as a percentage of the turnover of these sales.

Faldet i salgspriserne mellem 2003 og undersøgelsesperioden havde en betydelig indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet.
The decline in sales prices between 2003 and the IP significantly affected the profitability achieved by the Community industry.
Rentabiliteten faldt med over 10 procentpoint i den betragtede periode.
This profitability dropped by more than 10 percentage points during the period considered.
Afkastet af de samlede investeringer blev beregnet som driftsoverskuddet ved salg af samme vare udtrykt i procent af den bogførte nettoværdi af de anlægsaktiver, der er afsat til samme vare.
The return on total investments was calculated by expressing the operating profit of the like product as a percentage of the net book value of fixed assets allocated to the like product.
Denne indikator udviste en tendens, der lignede rentabilitetens, og den faldt drastisk i løbet af den betragtede periode.
This indicator followed a similar trend as profitability, decreasing significantly over the period considered.
For EF-erhvervsgrenens likviditet konstateredes en lignende negativ tendens, idet EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i høj grad forværredes generelt i undersøgelsesperioden.
With regard to the cash flow generated by the Community industry, a similar negative trend was found, resulting in a dramatic overall deterioration of the Community industry's financial situation in the IP.
Gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat (indeks)
Average labour cost per employee (index)
Som følge af de alvorlige bestræbelser på at nedbringe omkostningerne er antallet af ansatte i EF-erhvervsgrenen faldet med 4 % siden 2004.
Due to serious efforts to cut costs, the number of personnel employed by the Community industry declined by 4 % since 2004.
Fra 2003 til undersøgelsesperioden formåede EF-erhvervsgrenen at øge produktiviteten pr. ansat med 32 %.
From 2003 to the IP, the Community industry managed to increase the productivity per employee by 32 %.
I samme periode faldt de gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat med 5 %.
During the same period the average labour cost per employee decreased by 5 %.
Det kan derfor konkluderes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode gjorde meget betydelige fremskridt med hensyn til omkostningseffektivitet.
It can therefore be concluded that, during the period considered, the Community industry made very significant progress in terms of cost efficiency.
Da der ikke foreligger nogen oplysninger om dumping forud for den situation, der er vurderet i den aktuelle procedure, anses dette spørgsmål for irrelevant.
In the absence of any information on the existence of dumping prior to the situation assessed in the present proceeding, this issue is considered irrelevant.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode øgede sin markedsandel i Fællesskabet med 1-2 %.
The investigation showed that during the period considered the Community industry increased its Community market share with 1 % to 2 %.
Mellem 2003 og undersøgelsesperioden udviklede en række skadesindikatorer sig i positiv retning: EF-erhvervsgrenen formåede at øge sit salg og sin markedsandel, og den investerede betydeligt i yderligere produktionskapacitet.
Between 2003 and the IP, a number of injury indicators developed positively: the Community industry managed to increase its sales volumes and market share, and it invested significantly in additional production capacity.
Dens finansielle indikatorer udviklede sig imidlertid dramatisk: den fornuftige fortjenstmargen, den havde opnået i 2003, faldt drastisk og støt fra 2004 til undersøgelsesperiodens udløb.
However, its financial indicators developed dramatically: the reasonable profit margin achieved in 2003 decreased very rapidly and continuously as from 2004 to the end of the IP.
Situationen vedrørende afkast af investeringer og likviditet udviklede sig eksponentielt negativt.
Return of investment and cash flow situation developed exponentially negative.
Grunden til denne udvikling er, at den bratte stigning i priserne på råmaterialer ikke kunne afspejles i salgspriserne på samme vare.
The reason for this development is that the steep increase in raw material prices could not be reflected in the sales prices of the like product.
I betragtning af prisstigningen på råmaterialer ville man i en almindelig markedssituation have forventet en stigning i salgspriserne på PVA på 10-20 %, hvorimod salgspriserne på samme vare fremstillet af EF-erhvervsgrenen faldt med 5 % til skade for rentabiliteten.
Whereas, in view of the increase of raw material prices, in a normal market situation an increase of the PVA sales price by 10 % to 20 % could have been expected, the sales prices of the like product produced by the Community industry decreased by 5 %, to the detriment of its profitability.
Ikke desto mindre lå priserne på importerede varer fra Kina som et vejet gennemsnit 3,3 % under EF-erhvervsgrenens.
Still, during the IP, the prices of the imports from the PRC undercut those of the Community industry, on a weighted average basis by 3,3 %.
I overensstemmelse med artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, i grundforordningen har Kommissionen undersøgt, om dumpingimporten af den pågældende vare med oprindelse i Kina har påført EF-erhvervsgrenen en sådan skade, at den må betragtes som væsentlig.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has examined whether dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that may be considered material.
Importen fra Kina var betydelig i den betragtede periode og havde konstant en markedsandel på 10 % eller mere.
Imports from the PRC were at significant levels during the period considered, i.e. constantly representing 10 % market share or more.
I samme tidsrum faldt gennemsnitspriserne for alle eksporterende producenter i Kina med 2 %, og de lå 3,3 % under EF-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitspriser i undersøgelsesperioden.
At the same time, average prices of all exporting producers in the PRC decreased by 2 % and they undercut the average Community industry prices by 3,3 % in the IP.
EF-erhvervsgrenen følte sig forpligtet til at sænke sine salgspriser med 5 % i den betragtede periode for at sikre sin tilstedeværelse på hjemmemarkedet og på grund af de meget lave markedspriser på importerede varer fra Kina.
The Community industry, in order to assure its presence on its home market and due to the very low market prices set by imports from the PRC, felt obliged to decrease its sales prices by 5 % during the period considered.
Som følge af denne illoyale prispolitik i forbindelse med dumpingimporten fra Kina blev EF-erhvervsgrenens priser trykket og kunne ikke dække den væsentlige stigning i omkostningerne 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 not cover the substantial increase of cost of raw materials.
Det blev bekræftet af EF-erhvervsgrenens betydeligt forringede rentabilitet.
This was confirmed by the significant reduction in profitability by the Community industry.
Ovenstående viser, at de billige importvarer fra Kina, som sælges til priser, der ligger langt under EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, har spillet en afgørende rolle for forværringen af den situation, EF-erhvervsgrenen befinder sig i, og som afspejles i den markant forringede rentabilitet og de stærkt forværrede øvrige finansielle indikatorer.
Based on the above considerations, it was found that the low-priced imports from the PRC which significantly undercut the prices of the Community industry 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 strong deterioration of the other financial indicators.
Import med oprindelse i andre tredjelande end Kina
Imports originating in third countries other than the PRC
Ifølge Eurostat og de oplysninger, der blev indsamlet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, er de vigtigste tredjelande, hvorfra der importeres PVA, USA, Japan og Taiwan.
According to Eurostat and the information collected during the investigation, the main third countries from which PVA is imported are the USA, Japan and Taiwan.

Importen fra USA voksede støt fra 2003 og var i løbet af undersøgelsesperioden nået op på over 22000 ton, så den tegnede sig for næsten 14 % af det samlede fællesskabsmarked (til eget forbrug og til salg).
Imports from the USA have strongly increased since 2003 and during the IP they had amounted to more than 22000 tonnes, accounting for almost 14 % of the total (captive and non-captive) Community market.
Undersøgelsen viste, at størstedelen af dette salg var salg mellem forretningsmæssigt forbundne parter, og at gennemsnitsenhedspriserne på salget i den betragtede periode lå mellem 15 og 20 % over de gennemsnitlige cif-priser på importerede varer fra Kina.
The investigation showed that the bulk of these sales concerned sales between related parties and that the average unit prices of these transfer sales were, throughout the period considered, between 15 % and 20 % above the average cif prices of Chinese imports.
Endvidere konstateredes det, at varerne blev videresolgt til uafhængige kunder til priser, der lå 10-20 % højere end førnævnte importpriser.
Moreover, it was established that the quantities were resold to independent customers at prices 10 %-20 % higher than these aforementioned transfer import prices.
Eftersom markedspriserne på PVA med oprindelse i USA konsekvent lå på samme niveau som salgspriserne på PVA fremstillet af EF-erhvervsgrenen, spillede de ingen rolle i forbindelse med det prisdyk, man kunne observere i løbet af den betragtede periode.
As the market prices of PVA originating in the USA were consequently in the same ballpark as sales prices of PVA produced by the Community industry, they did not play a role in the price depression observed during the period considered.
Derfor konkluderes det, at importen ikke har haft væsentlig indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
It is therefore concluded that these imports did not have a significant effect on the situation of the Community industry.
I løbet af den betragtede periode fandt der også betydelig import sted fra Japan, som tegnede sig for næsten 9 % af fællesskabsmarkedet i undersøgelsesperioden.
During the period considered there were also significant imports from Japan, accounting for almost 9 % of the Community market during the IP.
Importen fra Japan dalede i 2004 for igen at vokse fra 2005, og den var 3 % højere i undersøgelsesperioden end i 2003.
After Japanese imports had dropped in 2004, they increased again as from 2005 and they were 3 % higher during the IP as compared to 2003.
En analyse af salgspriserne på denne import viste, at gennemsnitsimportpriserne på denne import lå over de priser, som EF-erhvervsgrenen kunne opnå, og de har derfor ikke bidraget til den negative pristendens, som førte til den væsentlige forværring af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
However, analysis of the sales prices of these imports showed that the average import prices of these imports were above the prices that the Community industry could obtain and they therefore have not contributed to the negative price trend which led to the serious deterioration of the Community industry's situation.
Importen fra Taiwan hidrører kun fra en producent, som samarbejdede fuldt ud i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Imports from Taiwan are from one producer only which fully cooperated with the investigation.
