De gennemsnitlige salgspriser ab fabrik ved salg til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder på fællesskabsmarkedet faldt med 9 % i den betragtede periode.
Average ex-works sales prices to unrelated customers in the Community market decreased by 9 % over the period considered.
Dette fald fandt sted gradvist i hele den betragtede periode.
This decrease occurred gradually over the period considered.

Ovenstående tabel viser, at EF-erhvervsgrenens priser også faldt i perioden fra 2006 til UP til trods for en stigende efterspørgsel på fællesskabsmarkedet.
The above table shows that the price of the Community industry also decreased in the period from 2006 to the IP despite an increasing demand on the Community market.
Ultimolagrene, som gennemsnitligt udgør ca. 25 % af produktionen, kan betragtes som store i den betragtede periode.
The level of end of year stocks, which represents on average around 25 % of production, could be considered to be high during the period considered.
Lagre i % af produktionen
Stocks in % of production
De store lagre kan dog skyldes, at den pågældende vare er sæsonbetonet, at EF-erhvervsgrenen hovedsageligt producerer standardvarer, og at varesortimentet er bredt og altid skal være disponibelt på lager for kunderne.
The high stock level can however be explained by the seasonality of the product concerned, the fact that the types produced by the Community industry are mainly standard types and because of the wide range of products which exist and which should remain available to customers.
Lagrene var endnu større i 2005, hvor der på grund af den negative udvikling i salget i forhold til 2004 blev opbygget større lagre end det foregående år.
Stock level was even higher in 2005 when, based on the negative evolution of sales volume compared to 2004, more stocks have been built up during the year.
Afmatningen i salget ved udgangen af 2005 medførte derfor større lagre.
The slowdown of sales by the end of 2005 consequently led to high stock levels.
Lagrene betragtes dog ikke i dette tilfælde som en relevant skadesindikator.
It is not considered however that the inventories are a relevant injury indicator in the present case.

Det relativt høje beskæftigelsesniveau i 2005 skyldtes især, at der blev ansat vikarer til at imødegå den øgede efterspørgsel i det pågældende år.
The relatively high level of employment in 2005 was, mainly due to the hiring of temporary workers to cope with increased demand in that year.
Beskæftigelsen blev dog reduceret drastisk fra 2006, og ved udgangen af UP var beskæftigelsen 13 % lavere end i 2004.
However, employment was reduced drastically from 2006 onwards and at the end of the IP, it was 13 % lower than in 2004.
Stigningen i de gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger blev begrænset til 9 % i den betragtede periode.
The increase in average labour cost was limited to 9 % during the period considered.
Med det øgede antal beskæftigede faldt produktiviteten en anelse i 2005, men på grund af afskedigelser i 2006 steg produktiviteten en anelse, selv om produktionen fald med 8 % mellem 2005 og 2006.
The increase of the labour force caused a slight drop in productivity in 2005, but the labour force made redundant during 2006 allowed for an increase in productivity even though production volumes decreased by 8 % between 2005 and 2006.
Kombinationen af store salgs- og produktionsmængder og især den lave beskæftigelse forklarer, at produktiviteten steg med 23 % i løbet af UP sammenlignet med 2004.
The combination of higher sales and production volumes and in particular the lower employment explains the 23 % increase in productivity during the IP compared to 2004.
Samlede produktionsomkostninger (EUR/ton)
Full cost of production (EUR/tonne)
Det skal bemærkes, at råmaterialerne, navnlig paraffin, udgør ca. 50 % af produktionsomkostningerne.
It is worth noting that the raw materials, mainly paraffin, represent around 50 % of the cost of production (COP).
Ovenstående tabel viser, at produktionsomkostningerne forblev stabile i den betragtede periode, dog med undtagelse af 2006.
The above table shows that, apart from 2006, the COP remained stable over the period considered.
Stigningen i 2006 skyldes den voldsomme stigning i priserne på paraffin mellem 2005 og 2006.
The increase in 2006 is explained by the significant increase in paraffin prices between 2005 and 2006.
EF-erhvervsgrenen omgik denne voldsomme prisstigning ved, hvor det var teknisk muligt, at erstatte paraffin med stearin.
The Community industry countered this sudden paraffin price increase by substituting, where technically possible paraffin with stearin.
Priserne for stearin var langt mere stabile indtil 2006 og lå under priserne for paraffin selv i UP.
The stearin prices remained indeed more stable up to 2006 and were below paraffin prices even during the IP.
Undersøgelsen viste desuden, at EF-erhvervsgrenen rationaliserede produktionen, som delvist blev flyttet til medlemsstater i EU, og samtidig måtte EF-erhvervsgrenen reducere beskæftigelsen drastisk især fra 2006 og fremefter for at reducere omkostningerne.
In addition, the investigation showed that the Community industry rationalised its production which was partly shifted to Member States in the European Community and at the same time had to reduce employment drastically, in particular from 2006 onwards, to reduce costs.
Kombinationen af disse faktorer medførte en situation, hvor det lykkedes EF-erhvervsgrenen at holde produktionsomkostningerne i UP på et niveau svarende til 2004.
The combination of all these factors led to a situation where the Community industry managed to keep its COP during the IP to levels comparable to 2004.

EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet blev beregnet ved at udtrykke nettofortjenesten, før skat, fra salget af samme vare som en procentdel af omsætningen af denne vare.
Profitability of the Community industry was established by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product as a percentage to the turnover of these sales.
I den betragtede periode faldt EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet fra en fortjeneste på 6,9 % i 2004 til et tab på 0,6 % i UP.
Over the period considered the profitability of the Community industry decreased from a profit of 6,9 % in 2004 to a loss of 0,6 % in the IP.
Erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet var god i 2004 og 2005, men forværredes dramatisk i 2006, hvilket skyldtes flere faktorer såsom en stigning i produktionsomkostningerne og et fald i salgspriserne.
Whilst the profitability of the Community industry in 2004 and 2005 was good, the situation dramatically changed in 2006 due to a combination of factors such as the increase in the COP and the reduction in sales prices.
Selv om de gennemsnitlige salgspriser faldt yderligere i UP, opnåede erhvervsgrenen næsten nulpunktsrentabilitet på grund af et fald i produktionsomkostninger.
Although the average sales price further decreased during the IP, the reduction of the COP allowed for a result close to breakeven in that period.
Udviklingen i likviditeten, som er virksomhedens evne til selv at finansiere sine aktiviteter, afspejler i vidt omfang udviklingen i rentabiliteten.
The trend shown by the cash flow, which is the ability of the industry to self-finance its activities, reflects to a large extent the evolution of profitability.
Selv om likviditeten på ny fulgte en positiv udvikling i UP, var det dog på et langt lavere niveau end i 2004 og 2005.
Although cash flow returned to a positive situation during the IP, it was at a much lower level than during 2004 and 2005.
Det samme gælder investeringsafkastet, som var negativt i både 2006 og i løbet af UP.
The same comments can be made about the return on investments which was negative both in 2006 and during the IP.
Til trods for den vanskelige situation fortsatte EF-erhvervsgrenen med at investere i den betragtede periode.
Despite the difficult situation, the Community industry continued to invest over the period considered.
Dette antyder, at erhvervsgrenen ikke vil opgive produktionen, men derimod betragter sig selv som levedygtig.
This suggests that the industry is not ready to give up production but considers the sector to be viable.
Investeringsniveauet viser, at sektoren har evnen til at rejse den nødvendige kapital.
The level of investments illustrates that the sector has the ability to raise the necessary capital.
EF-erhvervsgrenens salg på fællesskabsmarkedet mellem 2004 og UP steg med 3 %, men EF-erhvervsgrenen kunne ikke helt følge udviklingen i forbruget i Fællesskabet, som nåede op på 13 %.
The sales of the Community industry between 2004 and the IP in the Community market increased by 3 %, but the Community industry could not fully follow the expansion of Community consumption which reached 13 %.
Som følge heraf faldt markedsandelen med næsten 3,7 procentpoint.
As a consequence, market share decreased by almost 3,7 percentage points.
En kinesisk eksporterende producent, der indgik i stikprøven, tegnede sig for en begrænset eksport til Fællesskabet og dumpede ikke sine varer på fællesskabsmarkedet.
One sampled exporting producer in the PRC representing a limited volume of exports to the Community was not found to be dumping its products on the Community market.
For alle de andre eksporterende producenter, der indgik i stikprøven, er dumpingmargenen, jf. betragtning 84 til 89 ovenfor, dog væsentligt over bagatelgrænsen.
For all the other sampled exporting producers however, the dumping margins, specified in recitals (84) to (89), above are significantly above de minimis.
De øvrige eksporterende producenter fra Kina, der ikke indgik i stikprøven, blev, uanset om de samarbejdede, anset for at have dumpet deres varer på fællesskabsmarkedet, jf. betragtning 99 ovenfor.
As explained in recital (99) above, all other exporting producers in the PRC not included in the sample, cooperating and non-cooperating, were assumed to be dumping on the Community market.
I betragtning af størrelsen af og priserne på dumpingimporten kan virkningerne for EF-erhvervsgrenen af den faktiske dumpingmargen, beregnet til 48 % i gennemsnit, ikke anses for at være ubetydelige.
Given the volumes and the prices of the dumped imports, the impact of the actual margin of dumping, established at 48 % on average, cannot be considered to be negligible.
I den betragtede periode blev det konstateret, at EF-erhvervsgrenens resultater forbedredes, hvad angår visse mængdeindikatorer såsom produktion (+ 2 %), produktionskapacitet (+ 8 %), produktivitet (+ 23 %) og salgsmængder (+ 3 %).
Over the period considered it was found that the performance of the Community industry improved as regards some volume indicators such as production (+ 2 %), production capacity (+ 8 %), productivity (+ 23 %) and sales volume (+ 3 %).
Indikatorerne for EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation forværredes dog voldsomt i den betragtede periode.
However, all the indicators related to the financial situation of the Community industry significantly worsened during the period considered.
På trods af EF-erhvervsgrenens evne til at rejse kapital til investeringer blev investeringsafkastet negativt i UP, og likviditeten faldt med 81 % i den betragtede periode.
Notwithstanding the Community industry's ability to raise capital for investments, return on investments became negative in the IP and cash flow declined by 81 % over the period considered.
De gennemsnitlige salgspriser faldt med 9 %, og rentabiliteten faldt fra næsten 6,9 % i 2004 til et tab på 0,6 % i UP.
Average sales prices decreased by 9 % and profitability decreased from almost 6,9 % in 2004 to a loss of 0,6 % during the IP.
Desuden udviklede andre skadesindikatorer for EF-erhvervsgrenen sig også i negativ retning i den betragtede periode: kapacitetsudnyttelsen faldt med 4 %, lagrene steg med 7 % og beskæftigelsen faldt med 13 %.
Moreover, other injury indicators pertaining to the Community industry also developed negatively during the period considered: capacity utilisation fell by 4 %, stocks increased by 7 % and employment fell by 13 %.
EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel faldt også fra 39,8 % i 2004 til 36,1 %, dvs. et fald på 3,7 procentpoint.
The market share held by the Community industry also decreased from 39,8 % in 2004 to 36,1 %, namely by 3,7 percentage points.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var ikke i stand til at udnytte stigningen i efterspørgslen på 13 %, da den kun var i stand til at øge salget med 3 %.
The Community industry was prevented from benefitting from the 13 % market increase as it could only increase its sales volume by 3 %.
Analysen af omkostningerne, inkl. råvareomkostningerne, viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenen var i stand til at opretholde enhedsomkostningerne i UP på niveau med 2004 og 2005 til trods for en voldsom stigning i priserne på de vigtigste råmaterialer.
The analysis of the costs, including raw material costs, showed that, despite a sharp increase in the price of the main raw materials, the Community industry managed to maintain unit costs in the IP at the 2004-2005 levels.
Til trods for at efterspørgslen steg med 11 % mellem 2006 og UP, faldt salgspriserne dog med 3 % og beskæftigelsen faldt drastisk.
However, despite an 11 % increase in demand between 2006 and the IP, sales prices decreased by 3 % and employment was drastically reduced.
Rentabiliteten forblev negativ i løbet af UP.
Profitability still remained negative during the IP.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, blev det undersøgt, om dumpingimporten af stearinlys med oprindelse i Kina 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 candles originating in the PRC have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
Undersøgelsen viste, at stearinlys, der blev eksporteret fra Kina til Fællesskabet, solgtes til væsentligt dumpede priser på fællesskabsmarkedet i løbet af UP.
The investigation showed that the candles exported from the PRC to the Community were sold at significantly dumped prices on the Community market during the IP.
Som nævnt i betragtning 129 ovenfor blev det konstateret, at de samarbejdende eksporterende producenter i Kina solgte den pågældende vare med en gennemsnitlig dumpingmargen på 26,2 %.
As mentioned in recital (129) above, it was found that the co-operating exporting producers in the PRC were selling the product concerned with an average dumping margin of 26,2 %.
Det skal også understreges, at henved 55 % af de kinesiske eksportører ikke samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
It should also be outlined that around 55 % of Chinese exporters did not cooperate in the investigation.
Der er positivt bevis for, at disse eksportører dumpede mere end de eksportører, der samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
There is positive evidence showing that these exporters were dumping more than those who cooperated in the investigation.
Dumpingimportens omfang steg med 36 % på fællesskabsmarkedet i løbet af den betragtede periode.
Dumped imports increased in volume by 36 % on the Community market during the period considered.
Denne stigning skete til væsentligt dumpede priser, der i gennemsnit underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser med 9 % i UP.
This increase was made at significantly dumped prices undercutting on average by 9 % the prices of the Community industry during the IP.
Som forklaret i betragtning 108 ovenfor afslørede undersøgelsen, at dumpingimportens prisunderbud var endnu mere udtalt i EF-erhvervsgrenens vigtigste markedssegment, nemlig 12,1 %.
As explained in recital (108) above the investigation revealed that undercutting by dumped imports was even more pronounced, namely 12,1 % in the core market segment of the Community industry.
Derfor voksede markedsandelen for de eksportører, der dumpede deres varer, fra ca. 27,5 % til ca. 33 %, dvs. en stigning på over 5 procentpoint i løbet af UP.
Accordingly, the market share held by exporters practicing dumping grew from around 27,5 % to around 33 %, an increase of more than 5 percentage points during the IP.
På baggrund af Eurostats importstatistikker steg dumpingimporten tilsyneladende mere i de kategorier, som omfatter de kerneprodukter, der produceres og sælges af EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Based on the Eurostat import statistics it appears that dumped imports increased relatively more in the categories which include the core products produced and sold by the Community industry.
I dette markedssegment steg dumpingimporten med 46 % og ca. 3,5 procentpoint af markedsandelen blev vundet med dumpingimport i dette segment.
Dumped imports in this segment of the market rose by 46 % and around 3,5 percentage points of market share were gained by dumped imports in that segment.
Denne udvikling skal ses i lyset af det overordnede væsentlige prisunderbud og pristryk, som dumpingimporten forårsager på fællesskabsmarkedet.
This evolution should be seen in the light of the overall significant price undercutting and price pressure exercised by dumped imports on the Community market.
Samtidig steg EF-erhvervsgrenens salg kun med 3 % til trods for en samlet stigning i forbruget på 13 %.
At the same time, the Community industry sales volume increased only by 3 % despite an overall increase in consumption by 13 %.
EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel mindskedes derfor i den betragtede periode fra 39,8 % til 36,1 %, dvs. et tab i markedsandel på 3,7 procentpoint.
Accordingly, its market share shrunk over the period considered from 39,8 % to 36,1 %, namely a loss of 3,7 percentage points of market share.
Desuden blev det konstateret, at EF-erhvervsgrenens resultater i 2006 var særdeles negative, da de medførte betydelige tab i forhold til 2005.
Moreover, it was observed that in 2006 the performances of the Community industry were particularly negative as they incurred significant losses compared to 2005.
Situationen faldt sammen med den vedvarende store import af lavprisvarer fra Kina til fællesskabsmarkedet og et fald på 5 % i forbruget i Fællesskabet.
This situation coincided with the continued presence of high volumes of low-priced imports from the PRC on the Community market and a 5 % decrease in Community consumption.
EF-erhvervsgrenens samlede salg faldt i takt med at dumpingimporten steg, mens EF-erhvervsgrenens priser faldt med 5 % for at følge dumpingimportens prisniveau.
The overall sales volume of the Community decreased at the same pace as dumped imports, while the Community industry's prices fell by 5 % to follow the price level of dumped imports.
På baggrund af oplysninger fra perioden 2006 til udgangen af UP fremgår det, at forbruget steg med 11 %.
Considering the period from 2006 to the end of the IP, it emerged that consumption increased by 11 %.
Det lykkedes EF-erhvervsgrenen at øge salget med 8 %, men dumpingimporten steg betydeligt mere (+ 18 %) samlet set.
The Community industry managed to increase its sales volume by 8 % but dumped imports increased significantly more (+18 %) overall.
Samtidig faldt priserne på dumpingimporten med over 3 %.
At the same time, prices of dumped imports fell by over 3 %.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var ikke i stand til at udnytte væksten på markedet og de reducerede produktionsomkostninger.
The Community industry could not benefit from the growth of the market and the reduced COP.
EF-erhvervsgrenen måtte derimod følge den faldende tendens i salgsprisen og reducere sine priser med yderligere 2,5 % i UP, hvilket tilføjede yderligere tab til tabet i 2006.
Instead, it had to follow the decreasing trend in sales price and further decreased its prices by 2,5 % during the IP adding further losses to those incurred in 2006.
Det blev konstateret, at det vedvarende pres, som lavprisdumpingimporten udøvede på fællesskabsmarkedet, forhindrede EF-erhvervsgrenen i at fastsætte sine salgspriser i henhold til omkostningerne i UP.
It is considered that the continued pressure exercised by low-priced dumped imports on the Community market did not allow the Community industry to set its sales prices in line with its costs during the IP.
Dette forklarer tabet af markedsandel, de lave salgspriser og den negative rentabilitet, som EF-erhvervsgrenen oplevede i denne periode.
This explains the loss in market share, the low level of sales prices and of the negative profitability achieved by the Community industry in that period.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at den stigende lavprisdumpingimport fra Kina har haft en betydelig negativ indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i løbet af UP.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the surge of low-priced dumped imports from the PRC had a considerable negative impact on the economic situation of the Community industry during the IP.
Forbruget af stearinlys i Fællesskabet steg, jf. betragtning 94 ovenfor, med 13 % mellem 2004 og UP.
As mentioned in recital (94) above, the Community consumption of candles increased by 13 % between 2004 and the IP.
Dette gav EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at operere på et marked i ekspansion, og den væsentlige skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen, kan derfor ikke tilskrives udviklingen i forbruget på fællesskabsmarkedet.
As this allowed the Community industry to operate in an expanding market, the material injury suffered by the Community industry cannot be attributed to the evolution of consumption on the Community market.
Undersøgelsen viste, at den ikke-dumpede import solgtes til relativt høje priser på fællesskabsmarkedet.
The investigation showed that the imports which were not found to be dumped were sold in the Community market at a relatively high price.
Det blev derfor konkluderet, at denne import ikke bidrog til de lave salgspriser og den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen blev påført.
Accordingly, it was considered that these imports did not contribute to the low level of sales prices and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Udviklingen i importen fra andre tredjelande mellem 2004 og UP fremgår af følgende, både for så vidt angår mængder og priser:
The trends in import volumes and prices from other third countries between 2004 and the IP were as follows:
Tabel 10:
Table 10
Samlet import (ton)
Total imports (tonnes)
Pris (EUR/ton)
Price (EUR/tonne)
Importmængderne fra tredjelande, der ikke er berørt af denne undersøgelse, steg med 7 % i den betragtede periode, men forblev på et relativt beskedent niveau i UP.
The import volumes from third countries not concerned by this investigation increased by 7 % over the period considered but remained at a modest level during the IP.
Importen består sandsynligvis hovedsageligt af nicheprodukter af høj værdi, som importeres fra især USA.
These probably mainly consist in high value niche products imported in particular from the United States of America (USA).
Stigningen i forbruget i Fællesskabet var mere udtalt, hvilket førte til et tab af markedsandel på 0,2 procentpoint i UP.
The fact that the increase in Community consumption was more pronounced led to a loss of market share of 0,2 percentage points during the IP.
Priserne for disse importerede varer, som var relativt høje i den betragtede periode, steg med 21 % i samme periode.
The prices of these imports which were relatively high during the period considered increased by 21 % over that period.
På baggrund af ovenstående blev det foreløbigt konkluderet, at disse importerede varer ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, der blev påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
On the basis of the above, it was provisionally concluded these imports did not contribute to the material injury of the Community industry.
