Med hensyn til konkurrencesituationen på EF-markedet burde antidumpingforanstaltninger under normale omstændigheder skabe lige konkurrencevilkår for EF-erhvervsgrenens salg på EF-markedet og importen fra de pågældende lande, fordi foranstaltninger kompenserer for den gennemførte dumping.
Finally, as far as the competitive situation in the Community market is concerned, anti-dumping measures should under normal circumstances restore a fair level playing field between the Community industry's sales in the Community market and the imports form the countries concerned because measures should compensate for the dumping practised.
Med hensyn til EF-erhvervsgrenens påståede dominerende stilling — og som nævnt i betragtning 124-130 — var der ikke noget, som tydede på en overtrædelse af artikel 82 i traktaten, og det konkluderedes derfor, at konkurrencen inden for Fællesskabet var fair.
As far as the alleged dominant position of the Community industry is concerned and as mentioned in recitals 124 to 130, there were no indications of an infringement of Article 82 of the Treaty and it was therefore concluded that competition within the Community was fair.
Den pågældende brugers argument måtte derfor afvises.
The argument of the user concerned had therefore to be rejected.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger i denne forbindelse, bekræftes undersøgelsesresultaterne i betragtning 157-160 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
In the absence of any other comments in this particular regard, the findings set out in recitals 157 to 160 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Efter den foreløbige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede én forretningsmæssigt forbundet importør, at i modsætning til konklusionen i betragtning 163 i forordningen om midlertidig told vil antidumpingtold have en betydelig indvirkning på dennes samlede rentabilitet, hvilket kan føre til lukning af virksomheden.
Further to provisional disclosure, one cooperating importer claimed that in contrast to what was concluded in recital 163 of the provisional Regulation, anti-dumping duties would have a significant impact on its overall profitability, which may lead to the closure of the company.
Denne importør fremlagde dog ikke nogen dokumentation, som kunne have ændret de foreløbige konklusioner, som derfor bekræftes.
However, this importer did not submit any evidence which could have reversed the provisional conclusions, which are therefore confirmed.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger i denne forbindelse, bekræftes undersøgelsesresultaterne i betragtning 161-164 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
In the absence of any other comments in this particular regard, recitals 161 to 164 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Som nævnt i betragtning 6 opfordrede Kommissionen, efter indførelsen af de midlertidige foranstaltninger, en af de amerikanske eksporterende producenters forretningsmæssigt forbundne brugere til at besvare et spørgeskema.
As mentioned in recital 6, after the imposition of provisional measures the Commission invited the related user of one of the exporting producers in the USA to complete a questionnaire.
Til trods for at denne bruger indtil da ikke havde samarbejdet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, blev dette anset for hensigtsmæssigt som følge af antidumpingtoldens påståede store betydning for denne brugers rentabilitet.
Despite the fact that this user had not cooperated in the investigation so far, this was considered appropriate because of the alleged substantial impact of the anti-dumping duty on the profitability of this user.
Det blev især hævdet, at antidumpingtoldens indvirkning på brugerens rentabilitet ville være betydelig.
In particular, it was claimed that the impact on the user's profitability of the anti-dumping duty would be significant.
Den pågældende bruger købte kaliummonopersulfat hos sin forretningsmæssigt forbundne leverandør i USA og producerede desinfektionsmidler, som landmænd anvender til at beskytte deres landbrug mod vira, f.eks. i tilfælde af aviær influenza.
The user in question purchased KMPS from its related supplier in the USA and produced disinfectants used by farmers to protect their farms against viruses, e.g. for cases of avian influenza.
En kontrol af de oplysninger, som ovennævnte bruger havde indsendt, afslørede, at virksomheden havde store fortjenstmargener på EF-markedet.
The verification of the information submitted by the above user revealed that the company realised high profit margins on the Community market.
Selv om det hævdedes, at kaliummonopersulfat tegnede sig for en væsentlig del af brugerens produktionsomkostninger, var den maksimale indvirkning på virksomhedens rentabilitet ubetydelig, nemlig 0,2 %.
Although it was claimed that KMPS constituted a substantial part of the user's cost of production, the maximum impact on the company's profitability was insignificant, i.e. 0,2 %.
På baggrund af denne virksomheds høje fortjenstmargen blev det konkluderet, at den minimale omkostningsstigning let kunne absorberes.
Given the high profit margin realised by this company, it was concluded that the minimal increase in cost could be easily absorbed.
Som følge af, at der på EF-markedet ikke fandtes nogen særlig konkurrence for denne vare, antages det også, at omkostningsstigningen let kan videregives til denne virksomheds kunder.
Given the lack of significant competition on the Community market for this product, it is also considered that the cost increase can be easily passed on to the customers of this company.
Denne bruger hævdede også, at man til trods for de høje fortjenstmargener på EF-markedet også sælger varen via andre tredjelandsmarkeder.
This user claimed further that although realising high profit margins on the Community market, it sells the product also via other third country markets.
Af regnskabsmæssige årsager konsolideres rentabiliteten for alle disse operationer ved eliminering af afregningspriserne, og dermed bliver de samlede fortjenstmargener negative.
For accounting purposes the profitability for all these operations are consolidated by eliminating transfer prices and overall profit margins are negative.
I den aktuelle analyse kan kun data vedrørende den pågældende vare og EF-markedet tages i betragtning.
However, in the current analysis only data in relation to the product concerned and to the Community market can be taken into consideration.
Informationer om salgspriser og omkostninger vedrørende tredjelandsmarkeder og oplysninger til regnskabsformål var desuden ikke tilgængelige og kunne derfor ikke verificeres.
The information on sales prices and costs to all third country markets and details of the consolidation for accounting purposes were furthermore not available and could therefore not be verified.
Den anden samarbejdende bruger i Fællesskabet påstod at være en af de største brugere af persulfat af typen APS i Fællesskabet og hævdede at tegne sig for ca. 3,5 % af det samlede forbrug i Fællesskabet.
The other cooperating user in the Community claimed to be one of the largest users of the persulphate type APS in the Community and claimed to represent about 3,5 % of the total Community consumption.
Denne bruger fremførte, at selv en lille omkostningsstigning ville have stor indvirkning på brugerens overordnede finansielle situation.
This user argued that any increase in its costs, even small, would have a significant impact on its overall financial situation.
Selv om brugeren anslog virkningen af antidumpingtolden til at være 0,2 %, hævdede vedkommende, at man brugte store mængder af den pågældende vare, og at det derfor i forbindelse med analysen af Fællesskabets interesser ville være mere hensigtsmæssigt at betragte den samlede told, der skulle betales.
Although the user estimated the impact of the anti-dumping duty with 0,2 %, it claimed that since it used large quantities of the product concerned, it would be more appropriate to consider the absolute total amount of the duties payable in the analysis of the Community interest.
Denne bruger producerer latexbindemidler, som videresælges til producenter af belagt papir.
This user produces latex binders, which it resells to the coated paper industry.
Brugeren producerer også varer til vandrensning.
They also produce products for water treatment.
Brugeren hævdede, at en eventuel omkostningsstigning ikke kunne overvæltes på kunderne, fordi brugeren måtte konkurrere med lavprisimport fra Asien.
They claimed that they could not pass on any increase in cost to their customers because they had to compete with low-priced imports from Asia.
Brugeren fremførte desuden, at papirindustrien står over for store problemer og er i tilbagegang som følge af de elektroniske mediers fremgang.
Furthermore, they claimed that the paper industry had to face important difficulties and is shrinking, due to a large part, to the raise of the electronic media.
Derfor er efterspørgslen efter latexbindemidler også faldende.
Therefore, the demand of latex binders is also decreasing.
Brugeren fremførte, at fortjenstmargenen allerede var meget lille og tæt på break-even.
The user claimed that its profit margin was already very low and close to break even.
Den pågældende bruger besvarede ikke spørgeskemaet, men fremlagde nogle oplysninger om salg og rentabilitet.
The user concerned did not submit any reply to the questionnaire but provided some information on sales and profitability.
På grundlag af disse oplysninger konkluderedes det, at den maksimale virkning for denne brugers rentabilitet vedrørende det forretningssegment, der anvender den pågældende vare, kun beløb sig til 0,03 %.
On the basis of this information, it was found that the maximum impact on this user's profitability of the business segment using the product concerned would amount to only 0,03 %.
Denne virkning var minimal og ansås ikke for tilstrækkelig til at kunne udløse en udflytning eller jobtab i denne særlige aftagerindustri, således som det hævdedes.
It was considered that this minimal impact could not be considered as significant which would trigger the relocation or any job losses in this specific downstream industry, as claimed.
Ingen af de oplysninger, som denne bruger fremlagde vedrørende Fællesskabets interesser, kunne derfor bekræftes i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
None of the information provided by this user with regard to the Community interest aspects could therefore be confirmed during the investigation.
Det var opfattelsen, at der som følge af antidumpingtolden under alle omstændigheder ville ske en generel prisstigning i Fællesskabet.
In any event, it was considered that, as a result of the anti-dumping duties, price levels in the Community would on a general basis increase.
Desuden var der ingen indikation af, at importen fra tredjelande af varer på et senere produktionstrin ville underbyde brugernes priser i Fællesskabet, og den pågældende bruger fremlagde heller ingen dokumentation herfor.
Furthermore, there was no indication nor did the user concerned submit any evidence that imports of the downstream product from third countries would significantly undercut the prices of the users' in the Community.
Som den pågældende bruger nævnte, står papirindustrien ydermere over for problemer, der ikke har noget at gøre med antidumpingtolden, og det er derfor usikkert, om antidumpingtolden overhovedet vil have nogen virkning, eftersom den kun udgør en meget lille del af brugerens omkostninger, eller om andre faktorer, som f.eks. det vigende marked for papir, kunne være årsag til denne industris tilbagegang.
Furthermore, as admitted by the user concerned, the paper industry faced problems unrelated to the anti-dumping duties and it is therefore uncertain whether the anti-dumping duties will have an impact at all, given the negligible part it would represent in the cost of the user or whether other factors, such as the shrinking market for paper would be the cause for the decline of this industry.
Man antog derfor, at indførelsen af antidumpingtold ikke ville have en kraftig negativ indvirkning på aftagerindustrien.
Therefore, it was considered that the imposition of the anti-dumping duties would not have a significant adverse effect on the downstream industry.
Hermed bekræftes således betragtning 165 og 166 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Given the above, recitals 165 and 166 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Den anden bruger i Fællesskabet hævdede, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke ville være i stand til at dække efterspørgslen på EF-markedet på grund af utilstrækkelig kapacitet.
The other user in the Community claimed that the Community industry would not be able to supply the demand on the Community market due to a lack of sufficient capacities.
Denne bruger fremførte også, at de andre tilgængelige forsyningskilder, som f.eks. Tyrkiet og Japan, ikke kan være reelle alternativer, fordi produktionsmængden i disse lande er for lille i sammenligning med produktionen i Kina, og i Japans tilfælde er produktionen næsten udelukkende rettet mod det japanske hjemmemarked.
This user furthermore claimed that the other sources of supply available such as Turkey and Japan cannot be real alternatives because the production volume in these countries is too small in comparison to the one in the PRC and moreover, in the case of Japan, would be intended almost exclusively for the Japanese domestic market.
Ovennævnte bruger fremlagde ingen dokumentation til støtte for sin påstand.
The above user did not support its claim with any evidence.
Desuden fremgik det af verificerede faktiske oplysninger, at EF-produktionskapaciteten praktisk taget var lig med efterspørgslen på EF-markedet.
Furthermore, on the basis of verified actual data, the Community production capacity was found to practically equal the demand on the Community market.
Det bør bemærkes, at antidumpingtold ikke har til formål at stoppe import fra tredjelande til EF-markedet, men at sikre ensartede konkurrencevilkår.
It should also be noted that anti-dumping duties do not aim to cease imports of third countries in the Community market but to establish a level playing field.
EF-erhvervsgrenens dominerende stilling
Dominant position of the Community industry
De to eksporterende producenter fra USA og en af brugerne udtrykte bekymring for, at indførelsen af endelig antidumpingtold ville styrke EF-erhvervsgrenens allerede dominerende stilling, fordi den ville beskytte de to EF-producenter mod reel konkurrence.
The two exporting producers from the USA and one of the users raised their concern that the imposition of the definitive anti-dumping duties would reinforce the already dominant position of the Community industry because it would shelter the two Community producers from effective competition.
Brugeren argumenterede, at priserne fra leverandører, der ikke var pålagt antidumpingtold, steg efter indførelsen af forordningen om midlertidig told, hvilket viste, at foranstaltningerne havde forvridende effekt.
The user argued that the fact that prices increased after the imposition of the provisional Regulation from suppliers not subject to any anti-dumping duty would show the distorting effect of the measures.
Det hævdedes, at denne prisstigning kun skyldtes indførelsen af antidumpingtold, og at der ingen anden begrundelse var herfor.
It was claimed that such price increase was only based on the imposition of anti-dumping duties and otherwise unjustified.
Den forventede virkning af antidumpingtold er højere priser på EF-markedet, hvilket kompenserer for det pristryk, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt under som følge af dumpingimporten.
In this context, it is considered that the expected effect of an anti-dumping duty is to increase price levels in the Community market and thus to compensate for the price pressure suffered by the Community industry from the dumped imports.
Det bemærkes, at ikke-dumpingimporten konkurrerer med dumpingimporten og endog kan udsættes for samme pristryk.
It is noted that non-dumped imports are in competition with the dumped imports and may also be affected by the same price pressure.
Det er derfor ikke usædvanligt, at en eksporterende producent med en ubetydelig dumpingmargen forhøjer sine priser efter indførelsen af en antidumpingtold.
It is therefore not unusual for an exporting producer with a de minimis dumping margin to increase its prices further to the imposition of an anti-dumping duty.
Denne adfærd er ikke nødvendigvis et tegn på markedsforvridning, og påstandene blev derfor afvist.
This behaviour does not necessarily show any distortion of the market and the claims in this respect were rejected.
Brugeren fremførte desuden, at der var en tæt forbindelse mellem de to EF-producenter.
The user alleged further that there were close links between the two Community producers.
De to producenter havde således fælles produktionssted, og den ene EF-producent leverede energi til den andens produktionsproces.
Thus, both producers shared the same production sites and one Community producer supplied the other with energy for its production process.
Endvidere har flere af de interesserede parter fremført, at de to EF-producenter tidligere havde kontrolleret priserne på EF-markedet gennem konkurrencebegrænsende praksis.
Furthermore, it has been alleged by several of the interested Parties that the two Community producers had a history of controlling the prices in the Community market through anti-competitive practices.
Undersøgelsen bekræftede imidlertid ikke disse påstande.
However, the investigation did not confirm these allegations.
Der blev ikke fremlagt nogen dokumentation, som tydede på en konkurrencebegrænsende adfærd, dvs. misbrug af en påstået dominerende stilling.
It did not reveal any evidence which would point to an uncompetitive behaviour of the Community industry, i.e. an abuse of the alleged dominant position.
Med hensyn til de påståede forbindelser mellem de to EF-producenter har undersøgelsen vist, at forretningsbeslutninger blev truffet uafhængigt af hinanden, og at de to producenters ledelser var helt adskilte.
As far as the alleged links of the two Community producers are concerned, the investigation has shown that business decisions were taken independently from each other and that managements were completely separated.
Man fandt heller ikke, at EF-erhvervsgrenen havde unormalt høje fortjenstmargener, men derimod led under en rentabilitet, der forværredes betydeligt.
It was also considered that the Community industry did not enjoy abnormally high profits, but in contrast suffered from a significantly deteriorating profitability.
Det konstateres, jf. betragtning 85-91, at flere leverandører af persulfat konkurrerede på EF-markedet, og at der foregik prisforhandlinger med kunderne.
It is noted that as shown in recitals 85 to 91, several suppliers of persulphate competed in the Community market and price negotiations with the customers were ongoing.
Som allerede nævnt i betragtning 107 skulle antidumpingforanstaltninger skabe lige konkurrencevilkår mellem EF-erhvervsgrenens salg på EF-markedet og importen til EF-markedet.
Furthermore, as also mentioned in recital 107, anti-dumping measures should restore a level playing field between the Community industry's sales in the Community market and imports entering the Community market.
Formålet med tolden er faktisk kun at hæve importpriserne til et niveau, der giver EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for af opnå en normal fortjeneste.
Indeed, the purpose of the duties is merely to raise the import prices to a level which would allow the Community industry to achieve a normal profit.
Det bemærkes også, at trods andre mulige forsyningskilder som f.eks. Tyrkiet, Japan og Indien er der også en eksporterende producent i Kina, hvis dumping blev anset for at være minimal, og denne import vil derfor komme ind på EF-markedet uden betaling af antidumpingtold.
It is also noted that despite other possible sources of supply such as Turkey, Japan and India, there is also one exporting producer in the PRC for which dumping was found to be de minimis and these imports will therefore enter the Community market without payment of an anti-dumping duty.
I betragtning af ovenstående måtte de interesserede parters påstande afvises.
Considering the above, the interested Parties' claims in this respect had to be rejected.
Udflytning af aftagerindustrien
Relocation of the downstream industry
En eksporterende producent i USA og to samarbejdende brugere fremførte, at indførelsen af antidumpingtold ville fremskynde aftagerindustriens udflytningsproces.
One exporting producer in the USA and the two cooperating users alleged that the imposition of the anti-dumping duties would accelerate the relocation process of the downstream industry.
Den amerikanske eksportør, hævdede, at varetypen kaliummonopersulfat tegnede sig for en stor del af aftagerindustriens produktionsomkostninger, og at antidumpingtold ville have en betydelig indvirkning på disse virksomheders rentabilitet.
As far as the USA exporter is concerned, they alleged that the product type KMPS constituted a large share of the downstream industry's production cost and therefore any anti-dumping duty would have a significant impact on these industries' profitability.
En af brugerne hævdede, at antallet af ansatte i aftagerindustrien var væsentligt højere end antallet af ansatte i EF-erhvervsgrenen for persulfat, dvs. at langt flere arbejdspladser stod på spil.
One of the users alleged that the number of employees in the downstream industry was substantially higher than the number of employees of the Community industry of persulphates, i.e. a much higher number of jobs was at stake.
Som nævnt i betragtning 112-121 blev antidumpingforanstaltningernes indvirkning på aftagerindustriernes produktionsomkostninger fundet ubetydelig.
As mentioned in recitals 112 to 121, the impact of anti-dumping measures on the downstream industries' production cost was found to be negligible.
Dette gjaldt alle varetyper, også kaliummonopersulfat.
This was true for all product types, including KMPS.
På grundlag heraf kunne det ikke konkluderes, at antidumpingtold ville føre til udlicitering af aftagerindustriens produktion til tredjelande.
On this basis, it could not be concluded that anti-dumping duties would be a trigger to outsource the production of the downstream industry to third countries.
Det bemærkes ligeledes, at antallet af arbejdspladser i aftagerindustrien ikke er direkte sammenligneligt med antallet af ansatte i EF-erhvervsgrenen for persulfat.
It is also noted that the amount of employment in the downstream industry is not directly comparable to the number of employees of the Community industry of persulphates.
Den pågældende bruger fremlagde f.eks. ingen oplysninger om eller dokumentation for, hvor mange af arbejdspladserne i aftagerindustrien der var direkte forbundet med den pågældende vare og dermed kunne påvirkes af indførelsen af antidumpingtold.
For instance, the user concerned did not submit any indication or evidence to show how much employment in the downstream industry was directly linked to the product concerned and thus potentially affected by the imposition of anti-dumping duties.
På baggrund af ovenstående måtte påstandene derfor afvises.
Given the above considerations, these claims had to be rejected.
Antidumpingtold indført i 1995
Anti-dumping duties imposed in 1995
En af brugerne hævdede, at den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen led i den aktuelle undersøgelsesperiode, viste, at de antidumpingforanstaltninger, der blev indført for peroxodisulfat i 1995, ikke var effektive.
One of the users claimed that the material injury suffered by the Community industry during the current IP showed that the anti-dumping measures imposed on peroxodisulphates in 1995 were ineffective.
Det er derfor ikke i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre nye antidumpingforanstaltninger for en lignende vare, som også kan forventes at være ineffektive.
It is therefore not in the interest of the Community to impose new anti-dumping measures on a similar product scope which can also be expected to be ineffective.
