Investeringsafkastet fra produktion og salg af samme vare var negativt i undersøgelsesperioden og faldt betydeligt i den betragtede periode, hvilket afspejler ovennævnte negative tendens for rentabiliteten.
The return on investment from the production and sales of the like product was negative in the IP and decreased substantially during the period considered, reflecting the abovementioned negative trend in profitability.
Der var ingen tegn på, at EF-erhvervsgrenen, som består af store selskaber, der også fremstiller andre varer, havde problemer med at rejse kapital til sine aktiviteter, og det blev derfor konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenen var i stand til at rejse kapital til sine aktiviteter i den betragtede periode.
There were no indications that the Community industry, which consists of large companies also involved in the production of other products, encountered problems to raise capital for its activities and it was therefore concluded that the Community industry was in a position to raise capital for its activities throughout the period considered.
Der var følgende udvikling i beskæftigelsen, produktiviteten og lønningerne:
The evolution of employment, productivity and wages was as follows:
Antallet af beskæftigede steg med 3 % i den betragtede periode.
The number of employees increased by 3 % during the period considered.
Dette var resultat af en EF-producents omstrukturering, som medførte interne ændringer med hensyn til antallet af beskæftigede inden for fremstilling af penta, om end det samlede antal beskæftigede hos selskabet forblev stabilt.
This was the result of the reorganisation at one Community producer, which resulted in an internal re-allocation of staff employed on penta, even if the total number of people employed by the company as a whole remained stable.
Som følge af den lille stigning i antallet af beskæftigede og faldet i produktionsmængder, viste produktiviteten en negativ tendens i den betragtede periode.
As a result of the slight increase in the number of employees and the decreasing production volumes, productivity shows a negative trend during the period considered.
Gennemsnitslønnen pr. ansat steg med 4 % i den betragtede periode, hvilket var mindre end stigningen i inflationen i samme periode.
Average wage levels per employee increased by 4 % during the period considered which was less than the increase in inflation during the same period.
Mens forbruget i Fællesskabet faldt med 12 % i den betragtede periode, faldt EF-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde med 16 %, og parallelt hermed steg importmængden fra Kina, Rusland og Ukraine med mere end 300 % og importmængden fra USA med over 700 %.
While the Community consumption decreased by 12 % over the period considered, the sales volume of the Community industry decreased by 16 % and in parallel the import volumes from the PRC, Russia and Ukraine increased by more than 300 % and those from the USA by over 700 %.
Dette medførte, at EF-erhvervsgrenen mistede markedsandele, hvorimod de berørte eksporterende lande kunne vinde markedsandele.
This lead to the loss of market share by the Community industry, whereas the imports concerned managed to increase theirs.
Der er redegjort for dumpingmargenerne for Kina, Rusland, Ukraine og USA i afsnittet om dumping ovenfor.
The dumping margins for the PRC, Russia, Ukraine and the USA are specified above in the dumping section.
Fællesskabet er ikke ved at overvinde virkningerne af tidligere dumping eller subsidiering, da der ikke tidligere er foretaget sådanne undersøgelser.
The Community is not recovering from the effects of past dumping or subsidisation since no investigations have been made before.
Analysen af skadesindikatorerne viser, at EF-erhvervsgrenens situation blev markant forværret efter 2002 og nåede sit lavpunkt i undersøgelsesperioden, hvor EF-erhvervsgrenen havde et tab på 11,5 %.
The analysis of the injury indicators shows that the situation of the Community industry deteriorated significantly after 2002 and reached its lowest point in the IP, when the industry made a loss of 11,5 %.
I en situation, hvor forbruget faldt i den betragtede periode, faldt Fællesskabets produktion med 3 % og kapacitetsudnyttelsesgraden med 8 % i samme periode.
In the context of a decreasing consumption during the period considered, the Community production decreased by 3 % and capacity utilisation by 8 % during the same period.
Salget på markedet i Fællesskabet faldt med 16 % udtrykt i mængde og med 25 % udtrykt i værdi.
Sales on the Community market decreased by 16 % in terms of volume and 25 % in terms of value.
Denne udvikling afspejles også i forøgelsen af lagerbeholdningerne, som blev næsten fordoblet i den betragtede periode.
This development is also reflected by the increased stocks which almost doubled in the period considered.
Dette medførte et fald i markedsandelen fra 78 % i 2002 til 75 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
This led to a decrease in market share from 78 % in 2002 to 75 % in the IP.
De gennemsnitlige enhedspriser faldt med 11 % i den betragtede periode, hvilket ikke afspejlede stigningen i råmaterialeomkostningerne i samme periode.
Average unit prices decreased by 11 % during the period considered, which did not reflect the increase in raw material costs during the same period.
For ikke at miste markedsandele og at opretholde produktionen, havde EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke andet valg end at følge prisniveauet for dumpingimporten.
In order not to lose more market share and to keep the production running, the Community industry had no other option than to follow the price levels set by the dumped imports.
Dette medførte et betydeligt fald i rentabiliteten i undersøgelsesperioden.
This resulted in the significant drop in profitability in the IP.
De fleste af de andre skadesindikatorer bekræfter også den negative situation for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Most of the other injury indicators also confirm the negative situation of the Community industry.
Investeringsafkastet og likviditeten var negativ, og produktiviteten faldt.
Return on investments and cash flows were negative and productivity decreased.
Investeringerne viste dog en positiv tendens.
Investments, however, showed a positive trend.
De investeringer, der blev foretaget i undersøgelsesperioden, som var det år, hvor EF-erhvervsgrenen led tab, gik dog til løsning af flaskehalsproblemer og modernisering af maskiner med henblik på opfyldelse af miljøkravene frem for til investeringer i nyt produktionsudstyr.
Nevertheless, the investments made in the IP, which was the year of losses for the Community industry, were in fact de-bottlenecking and upgrading of machinery to correspond to environmental requirements rather than investments into new production equipment.
Den beskedne stigning i antallet af beskæftigede skyldtes en producents omstrukturering og ikke, at pågældende producent ansatte nyt personale på et tidspunkt, hvor den økonomiske situation blev forværret.
The slight increase in the number of employees resulted from the reorganisation at one producer and did not involve recruiting any new staff by this producer at times when the economic situation was deteriorating.
På baggrund af ovenstående kan det konkluderes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
In the light of the foregoing, it can be concluded that the Community industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, blev det undersøgt, om dumpingimporten af den pågældende vare med oprindelse i de berørte lande har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade i et omfang, der kan betegnes som væsentligt.
In accordance with Articles 3(6) and 3(7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the countries concerned have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
Hvad angår Tyrkiet, hvis markedsandel var på 8,6 % i undersøgelsesperioden, mindes der om, at den dumpingmargen, der blev fastsat, lå under minimumsværdien.
It is recalled that with regard to Turkey, whose market share amounted to 8,6 % during the IP, the dumping margin established was below the de minimis threshold.
Importen fra Tyrkiet blev derfor ikke taget i betragtning i forbindelse med analysen af dumpingimportens betydning for den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Therefore imports from Turkey were not considered for the analysis of the effect of dumped imports on the injury suffered by the Community industry.
De fire øvrige landes samlede markedsandel var på 9 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
The combined market share of the remaining four countries amounted to 9 % in the IP.
Importmængden fra Kina, Rusland og Ukraine er vokset betydeligt i den betragtede periode, både i absolutte tal og målt i markedsandele.
Import volumes from the PRC, Russia and Ukraine increased significantly over the period considered, both in absolute terms and in terms of market share.
Mængden i 2002 var rent faktisk nærmest ubetydelig, da den kun var på 1235 tons, mens den i løbet af den betragtede periode steg med 316 % for at ende på 5136 tons i undersøgelsesperioden.
Indeed, in 2002 volumes were almost negligible, amounting to a mere 1235 tonnes, whereas during the period considered they increased by 316 % to 5136 tonnes in the IP.
Den samlede markedsandel steg i samme periode fra 1 % til 7 %.
Their combined market share during the same period increased from 1 % to 7 %.
De vejede gennemsnitlige importpriser faldt med 13 %, hvilket medførte et klart prisunderbud i undersøgelsesperioden.
The weighted average import prices decreased by 13 %, resulting in clear undercutting during the IP.
Den betydelige stigning i importen fra de tre berørte lande og disse landes erobring af markedsandele i den betragtede periode med priser, der lå væsentligt under EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, faldt sammen med den åbenbare forværring af EF-erhvervsgrenens overordnede finansielle situation i samme periode.
Thus the substantial increase in the import volumes from the three countries concerned and their gain in market share during the period considered, at prices which remained well below those of the Community industry, coincided with the evident deterioration of the overall financial situation of the Community industry during the same period.
EF-erhvervsgrenen har gjort gældende, at selv med en begrænset markedsandel har dumpingimporten forårsaget alvorlige forstyrrelser på markedet på grund af forretningens karakter.
The Community industry has argued that even with a low market share the dumped imports managed to cause severe disruption on the market, due to the nature of the business.
Penta er en råvare, og den laveste pris, der tilbydes på markedet, er i stort omfang afgørende for markedsprisen, da andre producenter må tilpasse sig denne, hvis de ønsker at bevare deres ordrer.
Penta is a commodity and the lowest price quoted on the market determines to a large extent the market price, which other producers have to adapt to, if they wish to keep their orders.
Dette fremgår af, at EF-erhvervsgrenens priser har vist en faldende tendens i den betragtede periode, mens priserne på det vigtigste råmateriale, methanol, er steget kraftigt.
This is demonstrated by the decreasing trend in the Community industry’s sales prices over the period considered, while prices of the main raw material, methanol, soared.
EF-erhvervsgrenen fastholder, at den ikke var i stand til at overvælte stigningen i råmaterialepriserne på sine kunder på grund af dumpingimportens kraftige pristryk.
The Community industry maintains that it was not in a position to pass on the increase in raw material prices to its customers due to the strong price pressure of the dumped imports.
Dette førte til et markant fald i rentabiliteten, investeringsafkastet og likviditeten.
This led to a sharp decrease in profitability, return on investments and cash flow.
Hvis udviklingen undersøges nærmere, fremgår det ikke desto mindre, at den markante forværring af EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation fandt sted i undersøgelsesperioden.
Nevertheless, when looking at the development in more detail, it appears that the considerable deterioration of the Community industry’s financial situation occurred during the IP.
I årene forud for undersøgelsesperioden steg importen fra Kina, Rusland og Ukraine kraftigt fra 1235 tons i 2002 til 4752 tons i 2004, dvs. med 285 %, mens priserne ved salg fra disse lande faldt med 9 % i samme periode.
In the years prior to the IP, imports from the PRC, Russia and Ukraine increased massively from 1235 tonnes in 2002 to 4752 tonnes in 2004, i.e. by 285 %, while prices from these countries decreased by 9 % over the same period.
Virkningerne af denne stigning i importen for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation var dog ikke dramatiske, dvs. at mens salgsmængderne faldt med 9 % og priserne med 1 %, forblev fortjenesten i 2004 på et rimeligt niveau (5,7 %).
However, the effect of this surge in imports on the situation of the Community industry was not dramatic, i.e. while sales volumes decreased by 9 % and prices by 1 %, the profit level achieved in 2004 remained at a reasonable level (5,7 %).
I undersøgelsesperioden var faldet i EF-erhvervsgrenens salg på 7 % sammenfaldende med en yderligere stigning i importen fra de berørte lande på 8 %, hvilket var en relativt beskeden stigning sammenlignet med stigningen de foregående to år.
In the IP, the decrease in sales by the Community industry of 7 % coincided with a further increase in imports from the countries concerned of 8 %, which was a relatively small increase compared to that achieved during the previous two years.
Det var dog først i undersøgelsesperioden, at EF-erhvervsgrenen oplevede et kraftigt fald i rentabiliteten, som faldt til –11,5 %, og en markant forværring af sin finansielle situation.
However, it was only in the IP that the Community industry saw a huge decline in its profitability when it fell to – 11,5 % and a dramatic deterioration of its financial situation occurred.
På grundlag af ovenstående fremgår det, når der tages hensyn til hele den betragtede periode, at der er en vis sammenhæng mellem udviklingen i dumpingimporten og den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Based on the above considerations, it appears that when looking at all of period considered, there is some correlation between the development of the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Dumpingimporten alene synes dog ikke at forklare det markante fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet i undersøgelsesperioden.
However, the dumped imports alone do not seem to explain the sharp drop in the Community industry’s profitability during the IP.
Det kan derfor ikke konkluderes, at dumpingimporten har haft en afgørende rolle for den skade, der er blevet påført EF-erhvervsgrenen, og som var størst i undersøgelsesperioden.
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the dumped imports would have played a determining role in the injurious situation of the Community industry, which culminated in the IP.
Fald i Fællesskabets forbrug
Decrease in EC consumption
Forbruget af penta i Fællesskabet faldt med 12 % i den betragtede periode.
Consumption of penta in the Community decreased by 12 % during the period considered.
Dette fald synes at hænge sammen med faldet i efterspørgslen efter alkydharpikser i farve- og lakindustrien, som tegner sig for ca. 70 % af den endelige anvendelse af penta på markedet i Fællesskabet.
This decreasing trend appears be linked to the reduced demand of alkyd resins in the paint industry, which accounts for about 70 % of the end-use of penta on the Community market.
Et besøg hos en industriel bruger af penta, som fremstiller alkydharpikser til farve- og lakindustrien, afslørede, at efterspørgslen efter alkyd forventes at falde endnu kraftigere fremover på grund af de kommende ændringer af miljølovgivningen, som vil indføre begrænsninger for emissionen af flygtige organiske forbindelser (VOC’er) fra farver og lakker, som anvendes i henholdsvis byggebranchen og industrien.
A visit to an industrial user of penta, which produces alkyd resins for the paint industry, revealed that the demand for alkyds is expected to decline even sharper in the future due to the forthcoming changes in environmental legislation, which will impose restrictions on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from paint used for both architectural and industrial applications.
Da emissionen af flygtige organiske forbindelser fra alkydharpikser er større end ved andre teknologier, forventes brugen af alkydharpikser at falde.
Since alkyd resins are not as VOC friendly as other technologies, their use in paints is expected to decline.
EF-erhvervsgrenens salg faldt med 16 %, udtrykt i mængde, og med tre procentpoint, udtrykt som markedsandele, dvs. fra 78 % i 2002 til 75 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Community industry’s sales declined by 16 % in terms of volume and three percentage points in terms of market share, from 78 % in 2002 to 75 % in the IP.
Importmængderne fra Kina, Rusland og Ukraine steg med 316 % i den betragtede periode, hvorved markedsandelen steg fra 1 % til 7 %, og importen således overtog de markedsandele, som EF-erhvervsgrenen havde tabt.
Import volumes from the PRC, Russia and Ukraine increased by 316 % during the period considered leading to an increase in their market share from 1 % to 7 %, thus taking over the Community industry’s lost market share.
Faldet i efterspørgslen efter penta forklarer således ikke som sådan forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation i den betragtede periode.
Therefore, the declining demand of penta in the Community as such does not explain the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry over the period considered.
Udviklingen i forbruget fra år til år viser dog, at faldet i forbruget i forhold til de foregående år var meget kraftigere mellem 2004 og undersøgelsesperioden, hvor det faldt med 9 %.
However, the annual development of consumption shows that the decrease in consumption was much sharper between 2004 and the IP, when it went down by 9 %, compared to the previous years.
Forbruget forblev rent faktisk stabilt mellem 2003 og 2004, hvorimod det steg med 3 % mellem 2002 og 2003.
Indeed, consumption remained stable between 2003 and 2004 whereas it increased by 3 % between 2002 and 2003.
Da faldet i forbruget faldt sammen med den periode, hvor EF-erhvervsgrenen begyndte at lide tab, kan det således ikke udelukkes, at faldet i efterspørgslen efter penta på markedet i Fællesskabet havde betydning for den skade, der blev forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Therefore, given that the decrease in consumption coincides with the period when the Community industry turned loss-making, it cannot be excluded that the decreasing demand of penta on the Community market has had an impact on the injurious situation of the Community industry.
Import fra andre tredjelande (de fem største):
Imports from other third countries (five largest) were as follows:
Priser (EUR/ton)
Prices (EUR/tonne)
Ifølge Eurostat og de oplysninger, der blev indsamlet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, er de vigtigste tredjelande, hvorfra der importeres penta, Chile, Indien og Taiwan.
According to Eurostat and the information collected during the investigation, the main third countries from which penta is imported are Chile, India and Taiwan.
Når importen fra Tyrkiet lægges til importen fra andre tredjelande, steg den samlede importmængde fra andre tredjelande med 12 % fra 8586 tons i 2002 til 9636 tons i undersøgelsesperioden.
When adding imports from Turkey into imports from other third countries, the total volume imported from other third countries increased by 12 % from 8586 tonnes in 2002 to 9636 tonnes in the IP.
Dette svarer til en stigning i deres samlede markedsandel fra 10 % til 13 %.
This corresponds to an increase of their combined market share from 10 % to 13 %.
Priserne på importen fra tredjelande lå langt over EF-erhvervsgrenens priser i hele den betragtede periode.
The price levels of third country imports remained well above those of the Community industry throughout the period considered.
Markedsandelen for import fra andre tredjelande, som konkurrerede med dumpingimporten, blev således forøget med tre procentpoint med priser, som lå over EF-erhvervsgrenens priser.
Thus, imports from other third countries, competing with the dumped imports, managed to increase their market share by three percentage points, at prices which were above those of the Community industry.
Det bør dog bemærkes, at importen fra andre tredjelande fulgte en anden tendens end tendensen for dumpingimporten, idet importen fra andre tredjelande toppede i 2004, hvorimod importen fra tredjelande i undersøgelsesperioden, som var det år, hvor EF-erhvervsgrenen led tab, igen faldt og var 22 % lavere end i det foregående år.
It should be noted, however, that imports from other third countries followed a different trend compared to that of the dumped imports in the sense that the peak in imports from other third countries occurred in 2004, whereas in the IP, which was the year of losses for the Community industry, third country imports dropped again by 22 % compared to the previous year.
I den samme periode faldt deres salgsmængde også med 11 % og deres markedsandel med to procentpoint.
Also their average prices decreased by 11 % during the same period and their market share dropped by two percentage points.
Dette kan tyde på, at fra 2004 blev også producenterne i andre tredjelande påvirket af de lave markedspriser.
This would seem to indicate that as of 2004, also producers in other third countries were affected by the low market prices.
Ikke desto mindre forblev deres priser også i undersøgelsesperioden højere end EF-erhvervsgrenens priser.
Nevertheless, their prices remained above those of the Community industry also during the IP.
Det blev også undersøgt, om EF-erhvervsgrenens eksport til lande uden for Fællesskabet kan have bidraget til den skade, der blev forvoldt i den betragtede periode, eller ej.
It was also examined whether exports by the Community industry to non-EC countries may have contributed to the injury suffered during the period considered.
Eksporten til lande uden for Fællesskabet udgjorde næsten halvdelen af EF-erhvervsgrenens salg af samme vare i den betragtede periode.
Exports to unrelated customers in non-EC countries represented almost half of the Community industry’s sales of the like product during the period considered.
Eksportmængderne steg med 3 % mellem 2002 og undersøgelsesperioden, hvorimod de gennemsnitlige eksportpriser faldt med 7 %.
Export volumes increased by 3 %, between 2002 and the IP whereas average export prices decreased by 7 %.
Salgsmængde på markeder uden for EF (tons)
Sales volume in non-EC markets (tonnes)
Gennemsnitlige salgspriser på markeder uden for EF (EUR/ton)
Average sales prices in non-EC markets (EUR/tonne)
Selv om eksportsalget steg lidt, udtrykt i mængde, har den omstændighed, at de gennemsnitlige eksportpriser var lavere end de gennemsnitlige salgspriser på markedet i Fællesskabet i hele den betragtede periode og endda lavere end produktionsomkostningerne pr. enhed, påvirket EF-erhvervsgrenens overordnede finansielle situation negativt, om end det ikke har haft direkte følger for rentabiliteten på markedet i Fællesskabet.
Even if export sales increased slightly in terms of volume, the fact that the average export prices were lower than the average sales prices on the Community market throughout the period considered and moreover, below the unit cost of production has certainly had a negative effect on the overall financial situation of the Community industry, even if it does not directly affect the profitability on the Community market.
