På baggrund af argumenterne under punkt D.4 ovenfor (sandsynligheden for øget import, hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves) kan det ikke udelukkes, at dette faktisk kunne forekomme, hvilket ville bringe opretholdelsen af en effektiv konkurrence i fare.
In the light of the arguments developed under D.4 above (likelihood of significant imports should measures be repealed), it is not excluded that this could indeed occur, with the associated risks for the maintenance of effective competition.
I betragtning af alle ovenstående faktorer konkluderes det, at det af undersøgelsen fremgår, at opretholdelsen af foranstaltningerne ikke vil få betydelige negative virkninger for deres økonomiske og finansielle situation, selv om hovedparten af de samarbejdende brugere mente, at opretholdelsen af foranstaltningerne er i strid med deres interesser.
Taking into account all of the above factors, it is concluded that, although most of the users that have participated in the investigation consider that the maintenance of duties is against their interest, the investigation shows that the continuation of measures would not have a significantly negative effect on their economic and financial situation.
Desuden har brugerne, i modsætning til den tidligere undersøgelse, modstridende opfattelser af indvirkningen på deres virksomhed i tilfælde af en eventuel ophævelse af de gældende foranstaltninger.
Moreover, contrary to the previous investigation, users have varying views on the impact of a possible termination of existing measures on their business.
Hovedparten af brugerne har anmodet Kommissionen om at ophæve antidumpingtolden, jf. ovenstående, men der er dog blandt de brugere, der samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, også et stort antal brugere, der er imod en ophævelse af tolden.
Although, as explained above, most of them have asked the Commission to repeal the anti-dumping duties, among those which have cooperated in the investigation there is also a significant number that is against the termination of duties.
IMPORTØRER OG FORHANDLERE
IMPORTERS AND TRADERS
Seks importører/forhandlere fremsendte indlæg i forbindelse med undersøgelsen inden fristen i indledningsmeddelelsen, men kun tre (Saehan Europe, GSI Global Service International og Marubeni) samarbejdede fuldt ud og besvarede alle Kommissionens spørgsmål.
Six importers/traders made submissions in relation to this investigation within the deadline indicated in the Notice of initiation but only three of them (Saehan Europe, GSI Global Service International and Marubeni) have fully cooperated and provided answers to all the questions raised by the Commission.
Virksomhederne er alle rentable, og antallet af medarbejdere, der er beskæftiget med import/forhandling af PSF, er ubetydeligt.
All are profitable companies and the number of employees related to the import/trade of PSF product is negligible.
Det fremgår ikke, at opretholdelsen af antidumpingtolden vil få relevante negative virkninger for deres virksomheder.
It does not appear that the maintenance of the duties would have any relevant negative impact on their business.
De fleste er af den opfattelse, at det er i deres interesse at ophæve foranstaltningerne vedrørende importen fra Korea, men ikke vedrørende importen fra Kina, da det ville medføre en voldsom tilstrømning af varer, og da prisniveauet og deres margen ville falde.
Most of them are of the opinion that it is in their interest to terminate the measures imposed on imports from Korea but not on imports from the PRC because it will entail a huge flow of commodities and the price level will go down as well as their margin.
Da den uudnyttede kapacitet i Korea er mere begrænset end i Kina, er de derimod af den opfattelse, at den virkning, importen fra Korea vil få på priserne, ikke vil være til skade for deres virksomheder.
On the other hand, according to their views, since Korean unused capacities are more limited than Chinese, they are of the opinion that the impact of the Korean imports on prices will not be to the detriment of their business.
Derfor konkluderes det, at uanset om foranstaltningerne opretholdes, vil importørernes og forhandlernes virksomhed generelt sagt ikke blive påvirket i betydelig grad.
On this basis, it is concluded that, whether measures are maintained or not, generally speaking, the activity of importers and traders will not be significantly affected.
ANDRE BETRAGTNINGER
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
En række EF-producenter, der angiveligt producerer 56 % af deres PSF ved hjælp af genbrugte materialer har fremført, at importen af PSF til dumpingpriser har haft negative følger for genbrugsvirksomhedernes rentabilitet; det er endvidere blev fremført, at 425000 personer er beskæftiget med indsamling af polyethylenterephthalat med henblik på at levere til genbrugsvirksomhederne.
It has been argued by the Community producers which allegedly produce 56 % of PSF from recycled materials that imports of dumped PSF have adversely affected the profitability of recycling companies; it has also been claimed that 425000 people are employed in the collection of polyethylene terephthalate in order to supply the recycling companies.
Det skal i den forbindelse bemærkes, at virksomheder, som genanvender PET-flasker, ikke var interesserede i at deltage i undersøgelsen, til trods for at Kommissionen opfordrede hertil i indledningsmeddelelsen og fremsendte spørgeskemaer, som dog ikke blev besvaret.
In this respect, it has to be pointed out that recyclers of PET bottles were not interested in participating in this investigation in spite of the invitation made in the Notice of initiation and the questionnaires sent to them by the Commission, to which no reply was received.
Til gengæld er der en stor og stigende efterspørgsel efter genanvendte PET-flasker i Asien, og manglende foranstaltninger vil ikke afholde de virksomheder, som genanvender PET-flasker, fra at sælge deres varer på verdensmarkedet.
On the other hand, there is an important and growing demand of recycled PET bottles in Asia and the non-imposition of anti-dumping measures will not preclude PET bottle recyclers from selling their products on the world market.
Disse påstande blev derfor afvist.
Consequently these claims are rejected.
EF-producenterne har desuden bemærket, at der ved at fremstille korte syntetiske fibre af polyester af genbrugte materialer anvendes mindre energi end ved de kemiske processer, og transport af importerede PSF fra Asien frembringer kulstofemissioner.
Moreover, it has been pointed out by Community producers that making polyester staple fibre from recycled materials uses less energy than the chemical process and transport of imported PSF from Asia produces carbon emissions.
Hvis fællesskabsproduktionen af PSF således erstattes at dumpingimport fra især Kina og Korea, øges kulstofemissionerne, og EU’s målsætninger for klimaændringer sættes tilbage.
Consequently, replacement of Community production by dumped imports, in particular from the PRC and Korea, would increase carbon emissions and set back the EU climate change objectives.
Det skal under alle omstændigheder erindres, at der ved analysen af Fællesskabets interesser som led i en antidumpingprocedure lægges vægt på foranstaltningernes økonomiske virkninger for de erhvervsdrivende og altså ikke direkte på miljøhensyn.
In this context it is in any event recalled that the Community interest analysis in anti-dumping proceedings focuses on the economic impact of measures on the economic operators concerned and is not directly related to environmental concerns.
Der blev ikke fremsat argumenter vedrørende Saudi-Arabien (eller Belarus), som kunne berettige en konklusion om, at opretholdelsen af foranstaltningerne ikke ville være i Fællesskabets interesse.
No arguments have been put forward regarding Saudi Arabia (or Belarus) which would justify a conclusion that maintaining measures would not be in the Community interest.
På baggrund af det ovenstående kan det konkluderes, at EF-producenterne af PSF, herunder EF-erhvervsgrenen, nyder godt af de gældende foranstaltninger, men stadig befinder sig i en udsat situation.
In the light of the above, it can be concluded that the Community producers of PSF, including the Community industry, are benefiting from the measures in force but are still in a vulnerable situation.
I løbet af den betragtede periode har de været i stand til at øge deres markedsandel, produktion, kapacitet, omsætning og beskæftigelse.
During the period considered, they have been able to increase their market share, production, capacity, turnover and the level of employment.
De har desuden gjort en markant investeringsindsats med åbningen af nye fabrikker i Polen, Rumænien og Bulgarien.
Furthermore, they have made substantial efforts in terms of investment, have opened new plants in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
Derudover har Tergal, en vigtig leverandør til spindingindustrien, overvundet sine økonomiske vanskeligheder og har siden juli 2007 ikke været under administration (»procédure de sauvegarde«), hvilket fremgår af de oplysninger, virksomheden indsendte.
In addition, Tergal, an important supplier of the spinning industry, has overcome its financial difficulties and, according to the information supplied by the company, is no longer under safeguard procedure (procédure de sauvegarde) as from July 2007.
Virksomheden befinder sig dog stadig i en udsat økonomisk situation og kan ikke modstå en pludselig tilstrømning af dumpingimport.
However, their financial situation is still precarious and cannot face a sudden influx of dumped imports.
En opretholdelse af antidumpingtolden vil fortsat give EF-erhvervsgrenen betydelige fordele og højst sandsynligt bidrage til at gøre erhvervsgrenen levedygtig igen.
The maintenance of the duties will continue to provide substantial benefits to the Community industry and contribute in all likelihood to the restoration of its viability.
Denne situation står i skarp kontrast til det billede, der fremkom efter den tidligere undersøgelse, hvor det blev konkluderet, at udbuddet af PSF på markedet i Fællesskabet kunne blive et problem, hvilket skyldtes en omlægning af produktionen i en virksomhed (La Seda) med henblik på at øge produktionen af andre varer, en anden producents konkurs (Pennine Fibers) og Tegals tidligere økonomiske vanskeligheder.
This situation is in stark contrast to the picture obtained in the previous investigation where it was concluded that the supply of PSF could be problematic in the Community market due to industrial conversion of one company (La Seda) in order to increase output of other products, the bankruptcy of another producer (Pennine Fibers) and the former financial difficulties of Tergal.
Hvad angår brugere og importører, har den gældende antidumpingtold på importen fra de pågældende lande ikke bragt deres levedygtighed og ekspansionskapacitet i fare.
As for users and importers, the existing anti-dumping duties on imports from the countries concerned have not jeopardised their viability and capacity to expand.
Hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves, vil eventuelle fordele for brugere og importører derfor sandsynligvis begrænses, da antidumpingtolden ikke har større betydning for deres økonomiske situation.
Therefore, if measures are terminated, any advantages for users and importers are likely to be limited, given that the anti-dumping duties did not have a significant effect on their economic situation.
I modsætning til denne konklusion viste analysen af den tidligere undersøgelse, at indførelsen af en ny antidumpingtold, der kunne nå op på næsten 30 %, ville have haft en indvirkning på priserne for PSF især HCS og LMP, som eventuelt ville have bragt en lang række brugere i økonomiske vanskeligheder.
Contrary to this conclusion, the analysis of the previous investigation showed that the imposition of new of anti-dumping duties that could reach almost 30 % would have had an impact on prices of PSF, in particular HCS and LMP, that could have potentially put into financial difficulties a substantial number of users.
Det konkluderes derfor, at de eventuelt begrænsede fordele for brugere og importører af PSF i Fællesskabet efter en eventuel ophævelse af antidumpingtolden ville være uforholdsmæssige sammenlignet med de store ulemper for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
It is therefore concluded that the possible limited advantages to be enjoyed by users and importers of PSF in the Community if duties were to be repealed, would clearly be disproportionate compared to the serious disadvantages to the Community industry.
Det kan derfor konkluderes, at ophævelsen af de gældende foranstaltninger over for importen fra de pågældende lande ikke ville være berettiget af hensyn til Fællesskabets interesser.
Accordingly, it can be concluded that termination of the existing measures on imports from the countries concerned on Community interest grounds would not be justified.
I. ANVENDELSE AF PRINCIPPET OM IKKE-FORSKELSBEHANDLING
I. APPLICATION OF THE PRINCIPLE OF NON-DISCRIMINATION
En række interesserede parter har fremført, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne bør indføres uden forskelsbehandling i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 9, stk. 5, hvori det hedder, at »antidumpingtold pålægges i hvert enkelt tilfælde med en passende sats uden forskelsbehandling for al indførsel af den pågældende vare, for hvilken der er konstateret dumping og deraf følgende skade…«.
It has been put forward by a number of interested parties that anti-dumping measures may not be imposed on a discriminatory basis, as stated in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation which provides that ‘an anti-dumping duty shall be imposed in the appropriate amounts in each case, on a non-discriminatory basis on imports of a product from all sources found to be dumped and causing injury, […]’.
Det er desuden blevet fremført, at princippet om ikke-forskelsbehandling også er et grundlæggende princip i WTO-reglerne.
It has been indicated as well that this principle of non-discrimination is also a fundamental principle of WTO law.
Ifølge de interesserede parter, der påberåbte sig anvendelsen af princippet om ikke-forskelsbehandling, blev det i forordning (EF) nr. 2005/2006 konstateret, at dumpingimporten af PSF fra Taiwan og Malaysia havde forårsaget skade.
According to the interested parties that invoke the application of the principle of non-discrimination, imports of PSF from Taiwan and Malaysia were found to have been dumped and causing injury in Regulation (EC) No 2005/2006.
Det er blevet påstået, at »grunden til, at disse to kilder for import af PSF ikke blev pålagt antidumpingtold er ikke, at Kommissionen efterfølgende ville have konstateret, at importen af PSF fra Malaysia og Taiwan ikke blev indført til dumpingpriser eller ikke medførte skade …«.
It has been claimed that ‘the reason why these two sources of PSF imports were not subject to anti-dumping duties is not that the Commission would have subsequently found that imports of PSF from Malaysia and Taiwan were not dumped or were not causing injury […]’.
Det er desuden blevet påstået, at Kommissionens beslutning om at ophæve antidumpingtolden på importen af PSF fra Malaysia og Taiwan fra den 22. juni 2007 omstøder opretholdelsen af antidumpingtolden på importen af PSF fra andre lande, til trods for, at man konstaterede, at denne import foregik til dumpingpriser og forårsagede skade.
Furthermore, it has been argued that the Commission’s Decision not to continue to impose anti-dumping measures on imports of PSF from Malaysia and Taiwan from 22 June 2007 despite the fact that these imports were found to be dumped and causing injury has the effect of invalidating the continued imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports of PSF from other countries.
Det understreges først og fremmest, at klagen vedrørende Malaysia og Taiwan blev trukket tilbage, og at Rådet ikke traf en endelig afgørelse, hvad angår det hensigtsmæssige i at indføre antidumpingtold.
First, it is underlined that in the case of Malaysia and Taiwan the complaint was withdrawn and that no definitive finding was made by the Council as to the adequacy of imposing anti-dumping duties.
Der var derfor ikke tale om forskelsbehandling.
As a result, there is no discrimination.
Dernæst er grundlaget for at undersøge Fællesskabets interesser, jf. grundforordningens artikel 9, stk. 1, (gældende for Taiwan og Malaysia) og 21 (grundlag for den aktuelle sag) anderledes.
Second, the nature of the legal tests regarding Community interest under Articles 9(1) (applicable in the Taiwan and Malaysia case) and 21 (applicable in the current case) of the basic Regulation is different.
I det første tilfælde skal det afgøres, om balancen mellem interesserne er så positiv, at Kommissionen skal fortsætte proceduren på eget initiativ, selv om der ikke foreligger en klage.
Under the former, the test is whether the balance of interests at hand is so positive that the Commission should continue the proceedings ex officio even in the absence of a supported complaint.
I det andet tilfælde skal det afgøres, om balancen mellem interesserne er så negativ, at foranstaltningerne skal ophæves.
Under the latter, the test is whether the balance of interests is so negative that measures should be terminated.
Der er tale om forskellige grundlag, og der kan således ikke være tale om forskelsbehandling.
Therefore, the different nature of the tests implies that there can be no discrimination.
Dernæst vil der selv i en hypotetisk situation, hvor Rådet træffer en endelig afgørelse om ikke at indføre antidumpingtold på importen af PSF med oprindelse i Malaysia og Taiwan, ikke være tale om forskelsbehandling i denne sag, da føromtalte princip kun finder anvendelse, hvis der træffes ensartede konklusioner i forskellige undersøgelser vedrørende den samme vare.
Third, even in the hypothetical situation of a definitive decision taken by the Council concerning a non-imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports of PSF originating in Malaysia and Taiwan, there would be no discrimination in this case, given that the said principle is applicable only if similar conclusions are reached for different investigations concerning the same product.
Overholdelsen af princippet om ikke-forskelsbehandling, jf. grundforordningens artikel 9, stk. 5, og artikel 9, stk. 2, i WTO’s antidumpingaftale, forudsætter, at ensartede situationer behandles på samme måde, og at forskellige situationer ikke må behandles ens.
In other words, compliance with the principle of non-discrimination as set out in Article 9(5) the basic Regulation and Article 9(2) of the WTO Anti-dumping agreement requires that comparable situations must not be treated differently, and that different situations must not be treated in the same way.
Som beskrevet ovenfor adskiller kendsgerningerne og konklusionerne i denne undersøgelse sig radikalt fra tilfældet med Malaysia og Taiwan, og de to situationer kan derfor ikke sammenlignes.
As explained above, the facts and conclusions in the present investigation are radically different from the facts and conclusions in the case of Malaysia and Taiwan and, consequently, the two situations are not comparable.
På baggrund af det ovenstående afvises kravene om anvendelse af princippet om ikke-forskelsbehandling.
Having regard to the above the claims put forward in relation to the application of the principle of non-discrimination are rejected.
På grundlag af ovenstående kendsgerninger og betragtninger konkluderes det i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 11, stk. 3, at interimsundersøgelsen bør afsluttes, og at den gældende antidumpingtold på importen af PSF, der fremstilles og eksporteres til Fællesskabet af de pågældende lande, bør opretholdes —
On the basis of the above facts and considerations, it is concluded that, in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, the interim review should be terminated and the existing anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of PSF produced and exported to the European Community by the countries concerned should be maintained,
Den delvise interimsundersøgelse af antidumpingforanstaltningerne vedrørende importen af korte syntetiske fibre af polyester (PSF) med oprindelse i Belarus, Republikken Korea, Saudi-Arabien og Folkerepublikken Kina, der normalt tariferes under KN-kode 55032000, afsluttes, uden at de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger ændres.
The partial interim review of the anti-dumping measures applicable on imports of synthetic staple fibres of polyesters (PSF) originating in Belarus, the Republic of Korea, Saudi Arabia and the People’s Republic of China normally declared under CN code 55032000, is hereby terminated without amending the anti-dumping measures in force.

Rentabilitet for virksomheder med påbegyndelse af aktiviteter, der finder sted i hele eller dele af undersøgelsesperioden, er ikke medtaget for at undgå eventuelle forvridninger i tallene.
Profitability for companies with start-up operations which take place within or during part of the investigation period has not been taken into account to avoid potential distortions in the figures.
I 2005 gik en EF-producent konkurs i Det Forenede Kongerige, men de nye fabrikker i Polen og Rumænien har opvejet den manglende produktion og beskæftigelse, som blev affødt af denne konkurs.
In 2005 one Community producer went bankrupt in the UK but new plants based in Poland and Romania have offset the loss of production and employment entailed by this bankruptcy.

En producentsammenslutning har endvidere fremført, at der i juni 2008 har været en voldsom stigning i priserne i forhold til juni 2007.
It has also been put forward by an association of producers that there has been a sharp increase in prices in June 2008 compared to June 2007.
Denne stigning svarer til priserne i dollar, men hvis man betragter priserne i euro, har de holdt sig i ro.
This sharp increase corresponds to prices in dollars but if we consider prices in EUR they have remained stable.
Overordnet set steg importen derfor fra ca. 370000 tons til ca. 400000 tons i denne periode.
Globally, imports have therefore increased from approximately 370 KT to approximately 400 KT over the period.
Hvis der tages udgangspunkt i undersøgelsesperioden for den tidligere undersøgelse, er importen steget fra ca. 380000 tons til ca. 400000 tons.
If one uses the investigation period of the previous investigation as a starting point, the increase has been from approximately 380 KT to approximately 400 KT.
