Det overordnede fortjenstniveau forblev lavt i den pågældende periode og understreger den finansielle sårbarhed hos SMV'erne.
The overall level of profit remained at a low level during the overall period considered and emphasises the financial vulnerability of those SMEs.
Som beskrevet nedenfor er det opnåede overskud i den pågældende periode og navnlig i undersøgelsesperioden langt under det sædvanlige overskudsniveau, som erhvervsgrenen kunne opnå under normale omstændigheder.
As detailed below, the level of profit achieved during the period considered, and especially during the investigation period is far below the normal level of profit that the industry could achieve under normal circumstances.

Ability to raise capital
Som allerede nævnt er de små og mellemstore virksomheder ikke altid i stand til at yde tilstrækkelige bankgarantier, og de kan således have svært ved at afholde de betydelige udgifter, der kan opstå som følge af en vanskelig økonomisk situation.
As explained above, relatively small and medium sized companies are not always in a position to provide sufficient bank guarantees and may have difficulties to face the significant financial expenses that would result from a precarious financial situation.

Påstande fra de interesserede parter
Claims of the interested parties
Adskillige eksporterende producenter hævdede, at overskudsmargenen for EF-erhvervsgrenen var en vigtig indikator for omfanget af skaden på Fællesskabet.
Several exporting producers claimed that the profit margin of the Community industry was a crucial indicator for the injurious situation of the Community injury.
Man påstod navnlig, at eftersom overskudsmargenen, der blev anvendt i den midlertidige fase med henblik på at fastsætte skadestærsklerne (dvs. 2 % — se betragtning 284 i den midlertidige forordning), var i overensstemmelse med det, som nogle af de enkelte virksomheder i stikprøven havde opnået, viste dette, at de ikke havde lidt skade med hensyn til denne indikator.
In particular, it was alleged that, as the profit margin used at provisional stage for the purposes of establishing the injury elimination level (i.e. 2 % — see recital 284 of the provisional Regulation) was in line with that achieved by some individual companies in the sample, this showed that they were not injured with regard to this indicator.
Dette er ikke længere relevant, idet overskudsmargenen efter yderligere analyse som beskrevet i betragtning 292, blev ændret til 6 %, hvorved den er en mere korrekt afspejling af den mulige overskudsmargen for Fællesskabets fodtøjsproducenter, når der ikke er tale om skadelig dumping.
This is no longer relevant since, after further analysis, as set out in recital 292, the profit margin was adjusted to 6 %, thereby reflecting more appropriately an achievable profit margin for Community footwear producers in the absence of injurious dumping.
På grundlag af dette er EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet klart faldet i den pågældende periode og under alle omstændigheder faldt rentabiliteten helt ned til 0,5 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
On this basis, profitability of the Community industry clearly decreased over the period considered and in any event, profitability fell as low as 0,5 % in the IP.
Desuden foretages skadesanalysen for EF-erhvervsgrenen eller på en stikprøve af denne, og dermed ikke i de enkelte virksomheder, der medtaget i definitionen af EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Moreover, the injury analysis is carried out at the level of the Community industry, or a sample thereof, and thus not individually at the level of the companies included in the definition of the Community industry.
Forskellige interesserede parter anførte, at de anvendte indikatorer ved skadesanalysen hverken var pålidelige eller hensigtsmæssige.
Various interested parties argued that the indicators used for the injury analysis were not reliable or not appropriate.
De påstod, at de økonomiske indikatorer ikke var kontrolleret og ikke var pålidelige, eftersom de — ved et påstået manglende samarbejde — ikke ville henvise til en gyldig EF-erhvervsgren.
They alleged that the economic indicators were not verified and not reliable since — in the alleged absence of cooperation — they would not refer to a valid Community industry.
De mikroøkonomiske indikatorer hævdedes ikke at være repræsentative i lyset af stikprøvens begrænsede størrelse.
As concerned the micro-economic indicators, and given the limited size of the sample, they were claimed not to be representative.
Endelig henviste man til de forskellige tendenser, der kunne iagttages for skadesindikatorerne på makro- og mikroøkonomisk plan.
Finally, reference was made to the different trends observed between injury indicators established at macro- and micro-economic level.
For det første med hensyn til påstanden om, at de makroøkonomiske indikatorer ikke var kontrolleret, erindres der om, at i henhold til grundforordningen overlades kontrolbesøg til Kommissionens skøn, og der foreligger således ikke nogen juridisk forpligtelse til at gennemføre kontrolbesøg.
Firstly, as concerns the fact that the macro-economic indicators were not verified, it is recalled that according to the basic Regulation, verification visits are left to the appreciation of the Commission, and thus there is no legal obligation to always carry out verification visits.
Det hedder blot i grundforordningens artikel 16, at Kommissionen skal udføre kontrolbesøg, når den finder det passende.
Indeed Article 16 of the basic Regulation only sets out that the Commission shall, where it considers it appropriate, carry out verification visits.
Desuden blev disse faktorer, hvor det var muligt, krydskontrolleret med de generelle oplysninger fra de relevante nationale fodtøjssammenslutninger i Fællesskabet.
In addition these factors were cross-checked, where possible, with the overall information provided by the relevant national Community footwear associations.
For det andet blev påstandene vedrørende disse elementer også forkastet i lyset af ovenstående konklusion om EF-erhvervsgrenens og stikprøvens repræsentativitet.
Secondly, given the above conclusion concerning the definition of the Community industry and the representativity of the sample, the claims related to those elements were also rejected.
Som skitseret ovenfor blev der desuden af hensyn til følgerne kun udarbejdet et sæt skadesindikatorer i forbindelse med de endelige konklusioner, enten makro- eller mikroøkonomiske indikatorer.
In addition, as already outlined above, for the sake of coherence only one set of injury indicators is established for the purpose of the definitive conclusions, either macro- or micro-economic indicators.
Endelig bemærkes det, at selv om de tendenser, der blev konstateret på både mikro- og makroøkonomisk niveau ikke altid udviser præcis den samme udvikling, er der ikke desto mindre heller ikke tale om forskellige tendenser i nogen betydelig grad.
It is finally noted that even if those trends established at provisional stage both at a micro and macro level did not always show precisely the same development, they nevertheless did not show significantly diverging trends either.
Endelig hævdede de interesserede parter ligeledes, at ikke alle skadesfaktorer er tegn på skade og mere specifikt, at der ikke kan konstateres skader for de enkelte virksomheder i stikprøven.
Finally, interested parties also claimed that not all injury factors show injury, and more specifically that at an individual level, no injury can be established for the companies selected in the sample.
De første påstande må afvises med den begrundelse, at ingen af skadesindikatorerne ifølge grundforordningen nødvendigvis giver nogen definitiv vejledning.
The first claims have to be rejected on the grounds that, according to the basic Regulation, none of the injury indicators can necessarily give a decisive guidance.
Hvad angår påstanden om, at visse producenters situation ikke tyder på skade, skal det understreges, at dette ikke er relevant, eftersom skadesanalysen i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, foretages for EF-erhvervsgrenen eller på en stikprøve af denne, og dermed ikke i de enkelte virksomheder, der er medtaget i definitionen af EF-erhvervsgrenen.
As to the fact that the individual situation of certain producers did not point to injury, it is stressed that this is not relevant since, according to Article 3(1) of the basic Regulation, the injury analysis is carried out at the level of the Community industry, or a sample thereof, and thus not at the level of the individual companies included in the definition of the Community industry.
Det følger af ovenstående, at den midlertidige konklusion om, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade i henhold til betydningen i grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5, hermed bekræftes.
It follows from the above that the provisional conclusion that the Community industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation is hereby confirmed.
Det bekræftes mere specifikt, at for de makroøkonomiske indikatorer, dvs. for EF-erhvervsgrenen overordnet set, viste skaden sig ved faldende salgsmængder og markedsandele.
More specifically, it is confirmed that at the level of the macro-economic indicators, i.e. at the level of the overall Community industry, the injury mainly materialised in terms of decrease of sales volume and market shares.
Eftersom fodtøj fremstilles efter ordre, havde dette også direkte negative virkninger på produktionsniveauet og beskæftigelsen i Fællesskabet.
Since footwear is manufactured on order, this also had a direct negative impact on the production level and employment in the Community.
Det bekræftes ligeledes, at situationen også hovedsagelig er skadelig på det mikroøkonomiske plan.
Furthermore, it is also confirmed that at the level of the micro-economic elements the situation is largely injurious.
Virksomhederne i stikprøven har f.eks. nået det lavest mulige fortjenstniveau i løbet af 2003, hvilket imidlertid til dels kan forklares ved deres forholdsvis udtalte tidligere investeringspraksis (afskrivningernes indvirkning på rentabiliteten).
For instance, the sampled companies have reached the lowest possible level of profit during 2003, which, however can be partially explained by their relatively pronounced prior investment practice (effect of depreciation on profitability).
Men fortjenstniveauet faldt betydeligt, selv på trods af et kraftigt fald i investeringerne og lå rent faktisk i undersøgelsesperioden på det laveste niveau i den pågældende periode med undtagelse af 2003, dvs. langt fra et acceptabelt niveau og i mangel af andre forklarende faktorer såsom store investeringer på et tidligere tidspunkt helt klart væsentligt skadevoldende.
However, their level of profit decreased subsequently even despite a significant decrease in investment and, in fact, during the IP was at the lowest level over the period considered with the exception of 2003, i.e. far from any acceptable level and in the absence of other explanatory factors, like heavy prior investment, clearly materially injurious.
Likviditetsudviklingen fulgte en tilsvarende farlig nedadgående tendens og nåede sit laveste niveau i undersøgelsesperioden, et niveau, der kun kan beskrives som væsentligt skadevoldende.
Similarly, the cash flow followed a dangerously declining trend and reached the lowest level during the IP, at a level, which can only be considered as materially injurious.
Generelt har EF-erhvervsgrenen siden 2004 helt klart lidt væsentlig skade, selv om situationen før 2004 kun kan betegnes som skadelig.
Overall, although prior to 2004 the situation of the Community industry may only be qualified as injurious, the Community industry since 2004 clearly sustained material injury.
VIRKNINGERNE AF DUMPINGIMPORTEN
EFFECTS OF THE DUMPED IMPORTS
Markedsandelen for EF-erhvervsgrenen og for de berørte lande, inklusive børnefodtøj, udviklede sig som følger:
The Community industry's market share and that of the countries concerned, including children's footwear, developed as follows:
Berørte lande
Countries concerned
Nogle interesserede parter anfægtede Kommissionens konklusion om, at der var tale om et tilstrækkeligt tidsmæssigt sammenfald mellem dumpingimportens stigende markedsandel og faldet i EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel.
Certain interested parties challenged the Commission's conclusion that there was a sufficient coincidence in time between the market share increase of the dumped imports, and the decrease of the Community industry's market share.
De påpegede, at når importen fra Kina og Vietnam havde de største stigninger i markedsandele, oplevede EF-erhvervsgrenen mindre fald i sin markedsandel og omvendt.
They pointed out that when Chinese and Vietnamese imports obtained their greatest increases in market shares, the Community industry experienced smaller decreases in market share, and vice-versa.
Det hævdes ligeledes, at klagernes markedsandel ikke var blevet overtaget af de berørte lande, navnlig når man undersøger udviklingen i andre tredjelandes markedsandele.
It is also claimed that the market share of the complainants has not been taken over by countries concerned, namely by looking at the development of the other third countries market shares development.
En sammenslutning af importører hævdede endvidere, at dumpingimporten fra de berørte lande ikke forårsagede skade på EF-erhvervsgrenen, eftersom det importerede fodtøj ikke konkurrerer med fodtøj fremstillet i Fællesskabet.
An association of importers further claimed that dumped imports from the countries concerned did not cause any injury to the Community industry given that imported footwear is not competing with Community produced footwear.
Med hensyn til det tidsmæssige sammenfald er der i forbindelse med analysen af årsagssammenhæng ikke noget krav om en perfekt korrelation mellem udviklingen i dumpingimporten og situationen for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
With respect to the coincidence in time, it is considered that in the causation analysis, a perfect correlation between the development of the dumped imports and the situation of the Community industry is not required.
Det er en fast og juridisk anerkendt praksis, at et simpelt sammenfald som i det foreliggende tilfælde mellem en stigende dumpingimport i betydelige mængder, som underbyder EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, og en stadigt mere usikker situation for EF-erhvervsgrenen er en tydelig indikator for årsagssammenhæng.
Indeed, it is established and legally recognised practice that, as in the present case, a simple coincidence of increasing dumped imports in significant quantities, which undercut prices of the Community industry, and an increasingly precarious situation of the Community industry is a clear indicator of causation.
I det foreliggende tilfælde, og som det klart slås fast i betragtning 203-209 i den midlertidige forordning, er der unægtelig tale om et sådant tidsmæssigt sammenfald.
In the present case, and as clearly established in recitals 203 to 209 of the provisional Regulation, such coincidence in time undeniably occurred.
Desuden er sammenfaldet vedrørende skiftet i markedsandele fra 2003 til 2004 endda næsten symmetrisk.
Moreover, the coincidence concerning the shift in market share from 2003 to 2004 is even nearly symmetrical.
Det forhold, at den voksende markedsandel for dumpingimporten lejlighedsvis var højere end tabet af markedsandele hos EF-erhvervsgrenen, indikerer blot, at stigningen i dumpingimporten ikke blot skete på bekostning af EF-erhvervsgrenen, men også på bekostning af andre aktører på Fællesskabets marked.
In addition, the fact that increase of market share of the dumped imports was occasionally over the period considered higher than the loss of market share of the Community industry simply points to the fact that the increase of dumped imports not only happened at the expense of the Community industry but also at the expense of other players in the Community market.
Påstanden om, at importeret fodtøj ikke konkurrerede med fodtøj fremstillet i Fællesskabet, blev også afvist på grundlag af ovenstående konklusion vedrørende definitionen af den pågældende vare og af samme vare, dvs. at fodtøj importeret fra de berørte lande konkurrerer på alle niveauer, dvs. alle linjer og alle typer, med fodtøj, der fremstilles og sælges af EF-erhvervsgrenen, og at deres salgskanaler overordnet set er identiske.
The claim that imported footwear did not compete with Community produced footwear was also rejected on the basis of the above conclusion concerning the definition of the product concerned and the like produce, i.e. that the footwear imported from the countries concerned competes at all levels, i.e. all ranges and all types, with the footwear produced and sold by the Community industry, and that their sales channels are overall identical.
Undersøgelsen har desuden klart påvist, at EF-producenter og eksportører konkurrerer om salget på Fællesskabets marked.
Moreover, the investigation has clearly shown that Community producers and exporters compete for sales on the Community market.
I mangel af yderligere bemærkninger bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 209 i den midlertidige forordning hermed: Dumpingimporten spillede en afgørende rolle for den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
In the absence of further comments, the conclusions of recital 209 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed: the dumped imports played a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
VIRKNINGERNE AF ANDRE FAKTORER
EFFECTS OF OTHER FACTORS
Efter gennemførelsen af de midlertidige foranstaltninger hævdede forskellige interesserede parter, at den væsentlige skade skyldtes andre faktorer.
Following the imposition of the provisional measures, various interested parties claimed that the material injury suffered was caused by other factors.
Disse parter henviste til påstande, der allerede er fremført på et tidligere tidspunkt, og som behandles udtømmende i den midlertidige forordning.
Those parties referred to claims that were already made at an earlier stage, and duly addressed in the provisional Regulation.
Disse påstande vedrørte mere specifikt EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater, importen fra andre tredjelande, virkningen af ophævelsen af kontingentet på eksport fra Kina, virkningen af valutakursudsving, udflytningen af Fællesskabets producenter og den påståede strukturelt betingede manglende konkurrenceevne hos EF-erhvervsgrenen.
More specifically, those claims referred to the export performance of the Community industry, the imports from the other third countries, the effect of the lifting of the quota on Chinese exports, the effect of the exchange rate fluctuations, the relocation of the Community producers, and the alleged structural lack of competitiveness of the Community industry.
Der fremkom imidlertid ingen nye oplysninger, og derfor præciseres/udbygges hovedkonklusionerne i den midlertidige forordning nedenfor, hvor det er påkrævet.
No new elements were however provided, and therefore the main conclusions set out in the provisional Regulation are clarified/expanded, where necessary, below.
Nogle interesserede parter gentog deres påstande om, at den dårlige økonomiske situation for Fællesskabets fodtøjsindustri skyldes en forringelse af dens eksportresultater.
Certain interested parties reiterated their claims that the poor economic situation of the Community footwear industry was due to a deterioration of its export performance.
I denne henseende bemærkes det, at enhver eventuel forringelse af eksportresultaterne ikke har nogen indvirkning på de fleste af de indikatorer, der analyseres ovenfor, såsom salgsmængde, markedsandele og pristryk, eftersom sådanne faktorer er konstateret på baggrund af salget i Fællesskabet.
In this respect, it is noted that any alleged deterioration of the export performance, if any, does not have any impact on most of the indicators analysed above, such as sales volume, market shares and depression of prices, since those factors have been established at the level of sales in the Community.
Produktionstallene blev fremlagt samlet, idet der ikke er mulighed for at foretage en sondring mellem varer beregnet til Fællesskabets marked og markeder uden for Fællesskabet.
Production figures were provided on an overall basis since no distinction between goods destined for the Community market and outside the Community can be made.
Eftersom fodtøj fremstilles efter ordre, vil enhver nedgang i salget nødvendigvis give sig udslag i et tilsvarende fald i produktionen, og eftersom langt størstedelen af produktionen er beregnet til salg på Fællesskabets marked, bekræftes den midlertidige konklusion om, at størstedelen af faldet i produktionen skyldes skade forvoldt på Fællesskabets marked.
Since footwear is produced to order, any decrease of sales will necessarily translate into a similar decline in production, and given that the vast majority of the production is intended to be sold on the Community market, the provisional conclusion that the major part of the decrease in production is related to injury suffered on the Community market is confirmed.
I den pågældende periode svarede faldet i salgsmængden på Fællesskabets marked (– 34 %) til faldet i produktionen i samme periode (– 33 %).
As a matter of fact, during the period considered, the decrease in sales volume on the Community market (– 34 %) corresponds to the decrease of production during the same period (– 33 %).
Påstanden blev derfor afvist, og det konkluderes endeligt, at EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater ikke forvoldte nogen væsentlig skade.
The claim was therefore rejected, and it is definitively concluded that the export performance of the Community industry did not cause any material injury.
Importen fra tredjelande, inklusive børnefodtøj, udviklede sig som følger:
The imports from third countries, including children's footwear developed as follows:
Variation fra 2001 til undersøgelsesperioden (i procentpoint)
Variance 01/IP (% points)
Det skal bemærkes, at ingen af de berørte lande (i alt mere end 150 forskellige lande) i rækken for andre lande i ovenstående tabel tegnede sig for mere end 2 % af Fællesskabets samlede import i undersøgelsesperioden.
It should be noted that none of the countries included (in total more than 150 various countries) in the row concerning other countries in the above table accounted for more than 2 % of the overall Community imports during the IP.
Det kan derfor bekræftes, at ingen af de nævnte lande enkeltvis øgede deres markedsandele i betydelig grad i den pågældende periode, at deres markedsandel i absolutte tal forblev langt under de berørte landes, og de udviklede sig også forskelligt.
Therefore it can be confirmed that individually, none of the countries listed above significantly increased their market shares during the period considered, that the absolute level of their market share remained far below that of the countries concerned, and they also developed differently.
