Det bør imidlertid bemærkes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen er ved at komme sig oven på virkningerne af de stærkt øgede importmængder, som forvoldte den alvorlig skade, og som førte til, at Kommissionen indførte både foreløbige og endelige beskyttelsesforanstaltninger i 2003 og 2004 (jf. betragtning (4)).
However, it should be noted that the Community industry is recovering from the effects of the greatly increased quantities of imports that caused it serious injury and which led the Commission to impose both provisional and definitive safeguard measures in 2003 and in 2004 (see recital (4)).
Som nævnt ovenfor i betragtning (57) og (70) hjalp disse beskyttelsesforanstaltninger erhvervsgrenen med at forbedre sin position en smule trods lagerforøgelser i 2003/04, og i en situation uden skadevoldende dumping havde man forventet, at de ville medføre en langt større samlet forbedring af situationen i EF-erhvervsgrenen.
As mentioned above in recitals (57) and (70), these safeguard measures helped the industry to slightly improve their position notwithstanding some stock-piling in 2003/2004, and, in the absence of injurious dumping, would have been expected to generate a much more substantial overall improvement of the situation of the Community industry.
Ovenstående analyse af situationen i EF-erhvervsgrenen skal ses i lyset af, at der fandtes et langt større antal EF-producenter og en betydelig større produktionskapacitet i begyndelsen af perioden.
The above analysis of the situation of the Community industry has to be seen in the light of the fact that there existed a much larger number of Community producers and a significantly larger production capacity at the beginning of the period.
Ifølge forordning 658/2004 og meddelelse 2005/C 322/06 var kapaciteten dengang på ca. 129000 tons. Den tidligere nævnte omstrukturering af sektoren førte til et fald i produktionskapaciteten på over 45 %.
According to Reg 658/2004 and notice C 322/06 capacity then reached ca. 129000 MT. The aforementioned restructuring of the sector led to a drop in production capacity of over 45 %.
I den sammenhæng og også på grund af beskyttelsesforanstaltningerne ville man have forventet, at de tilbageværende fire producenter ville have oplevet en samlet forbedring og bl.a. have overtaget en betydelig del af salget fra de virksomheder, der forlod markedet, væsentlig øget produktionen og kapacitetsudnyttelsen og nydt godt af langt større pris-/omkostningsdifferentiering, som muliggjorde øget fortjeneste.
In this context, and due also to the existence of safeguard measures, it would have been expected that the remaining four producers would have experienced an overall improvement, whereby they would have, inter alia, taken up a significant proportion of the sales lost by the companies exiting the market, substantially increased production and capacity utilisation, and enjoyed much more enhanced price/cost differentials that allowed for profits to be accrued.
Tværtimod voksede produktionen kun med 9 %, kapacitetsudnyttelsen forblev lav (og voksede kun på grund af et fald i kapaciteten), og salgsmængderne forblev lave trods en koncentration i sektoren med lagre, der voksede med mindst 66 %.
To the contrary, production has increased only by 9 %, capacity utilisation remained low (and increased only because of a drop in capacity itself) and sales volumes remained weak notwithstanding a concentration in the sector, with stocks increasing by no less that 66 %.
Tabene fortsatte (– 4,3 %), og afkastet af investeringerne dalede fortsat (– 28,9 %) trods fortsatte investeringer med det formål yderligere at øge konkurrenceevnen og en produktivitetsforøgelse på 9 %.
Losses have continued (– 4,3 %) and return on investment has become even more negative (– 28,9 %), notwithstanding continuing investments to further increase its competitiveness and a 9 % productivity rise.
Man bør dog minde om, at dumpingimportmængden af den pågældende vare fra Kina er vokset med næsten 10 % i den pågældende periode, mens salgsprisen praktisk talt var den samme som i 2002, trods stigende omkostninger på råvarer.
It is recalled that, during the period considered, the volume of dumped imports of the product concerned from the PRC had increased by almost 10 % whilst the sales price was practically the same as in 2002, notwithstanding the increase in the cost of raw materials.
Desuden blev EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser i UP underbudt betydeligt af priserne på dumpingimporten af den pågældende vare.
Moreover, in the IP, the sales prices of the Community industry were substantially undercut by those of the dumped imports of the product concerned.
Under hensyntagen til alle ovennævnte faktorer konkluderes det derfor foreløbigt, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3.
Taking into account all of these factors, the provisional conclusion reached is that the Community industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3 of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, blev det også undersøgt, om der var en sammenhæng imellem den skade, der blev påført EF-erhvervsgrenen, og dumpingimporten fra Kina.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, it was also examined whether there is a causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, der samtidig kunne have forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade, blev også undersøgt for at sikre, at eventuel skade forårsaget af disse andre faktorer ikke blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Community industry, were also examined to ensure that any possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Der skal mindes om, at importmængden fra Kina fortsat udgjorde ikke mindre end 70 % af fællesskabsmarkedet.
It is recalled that import volumes from the PRC continued to constitute no less that 70 % of the Community market.
I betragtning af den kinesiske imports klare dominans på markedet er følgevirkningerne heraf i praksis umiskendeligt en væsentlig årsag til EF-erhvervsgrenens forværrede situation.
In practice, given their clear market dominance, the impact of Chinese imports is unmistakably a major cause of the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry.
Så meget desto mere som, at kinesiske priser fortsat væsentligt underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens og lå på niveauer væsentligt under EF-erhvervsgrenens omkostninger, hvilket vidner om aggressiv adfærd.
This is even more so given the fact that Chinese prices have continued to significantly undercut those of the Community industry — and to be made at levels significantly below Community industry costs, indicating a predatory intent.
EF-erhvervsgrenen reagerede på de store importmængder til meget lave prisniveauer ved at forsøge at bibeholde en rimelig markedsandel og nedsætte sine salgspriser.
The Community industry reacted to the large import volumes at very low price levels, by trying to maintain a reasonable market share and capping their prices.
Den var derfor ude af stand til at opnå normal fortjeneste.
They were, thus, unable to achieve normal profitability.
Det er derfor klart, at der er en nøje sammenhæng imellem de væsentligt forøgede importmængder til stadig lavere priser og den skade, EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
It is therefore clear that there is a strong causal link between the significant increase in imports volumes at ever lower prices and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Følgevirkninger af import fra tredjelande
Impact of imports from other third countries
Mængden af ikke-kinesisk import udgjorde under 2 % af EU's samlede import i UP.
The volume of non-Chinese imports represented less than 2 % in the IP of total EU imports.
Derfor betragtes evt. følgevirkninger heraf som marginale.
It is for this reason that their impact (if any) is considered marginal.
Det er blevet hævdet, at der reelt er tale om videresalg af kinesiske varer.
It has been alleged that such imports were in fact re-sales of Chinese products.
Dette argument forstærkes af, at der ikke er tilstrækkelig produktion i andre lande, hvilket fremgår af, at der ikke kan findes et egnet referenceland, jf. betragtning (40) og (41) ovenfor.
This is reinforced by the absence of sufficient production in other countries, as demonstrated by the lack of an appropriate analogue country (see recitals (40)-(41) above).
Følgevirkninger af ændringer i EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater
Impact of changes in export performance of the Community industry
Som det fremgår af nedenstående tabel dalede EF-erhvervsgrenens eksport i den betragtede periode.
As can be seen from the table below, exports made by the Community industry decreased over the ‘period considered’.
Eksportsalgsmængder (tons)
Export Sales Volume (tonnes)
EF-erhvervsgrenen leverede tidligere den pågældende vare til USA som et traditionelt marked.
The Community industry once supplied the product concerned to the USA as a traditional market.
I dag er hovedkilden til eksport til USA (og de fleste importlande) imidlertid Kina, som synes at følge en lignende strategi i retning af dumping og betydeligt underbud af EF-erhvervsgrenens eksport til USA.
Today, however, the main source of exports to the USA (and indeed to most importing countries) is China, which appears to follow a similar strategy of dumping and significant undercutting of Community industry exports to the USA.
Selvom EF-erhvervsgrenen havde opretholdt de samme eksportmængder og -priser, peger alene graden af den kinesiske imports indtrængen og underbuddets omfang på en betydelig materiel indvirkning af nævnte import på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
Even if the Community industry had maintained similar levels of exports volumes and prices, the sheer degree of the penetration of the Chinese imports, as well as the size of price undercutting, point to a significant material impact of the aforesaid imports upon the situation of the Community industry.
EF-erhvervsgrenens faldende eksportresultater kan snarere end at bryde årsagssammenhængen betragtes som en forudsigelse af, hvad der ville ske med EF-erhvervsgrenens salg, hvis presset fra dumpingimporten fortsætter.
Rather than breaking the causal link, the drop in export performance by the Community industry might be considered as a prediction of what would well happen to Community sales of industry if the pressure of dumped imports continues.
En anden faktor, som EF-erhvervsgrenen hævdede havde forårsaget skade, er den faldende valutakurs på den kinesiske yuan i forhold til euroen.
Another factor which the Community industry) claimed to have caused injury is the falling currency exchange rate of the Chinese RMB against the Euro.
Mellem oktober 2002 og september 2007 var der et fald på over 40 % på valutakursen på den amerikanske dollar i forhold til euroen.
Between October 2002 and September 2007 there was a fall of more than 40 % in the exchange rate of the US Dollar to the Euro.
Da den kinesiske yuan er knyttet til dollaren, gav dette kinesisk eksport en konkurrencefordel over for eksport fra EU af den pågældende vare.
As the Chinese RMB is pegged against the US Dollar, this gave Chinese exports a competitive advantage over European exports of the product concerned.
Der skal mindes om, at undersøgelsen skal fastslå, om dumpingimporten (med hensyn til priser og mængde) har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, eller om en sådan væsentlig skade kan skyldes andre faktorer.
To this purpose it is recalled that the investigation has to establish whether the dumped imports (in terms of prices and volume) have caused material injury to the Community industry or whether such material injury was due to other factors.
Den omhandler derfor kun forskelle mellem prisniveauer, og der findes således intet krav om en analyse af de faktorer, der påvirker prisniveauet.
It therefore merely refers to a difference between price levels, and there is thus no requirement to analyse the factors affecting the levels of those prices.
Levering af og priser på råmaterialer
Supply and price of raw materials
Flere parter har hævdet, at den forvoldte skade ikke skyldes dumpingimport, men utilstrækkelige leverancer af og høje priser på råvarer som følge af dårligt høstudbytte.
Several parties have claimed that injury is not caused by dumped imports but by insufficient supply and high prices of raw materials as a result of a bad harvest.
Skadesundersøgelsesperioden omfatter en række forskellige høstår med lavere og højere råvareproduktion og -priser.
The injury investigation period includes a number of different harvests, with lower and higher raw material production — and prices.
Disse svingninger er imidlertid ikke knyttet til EF-erhvervsgrenens generelle situation, hvilket f.eks. fremgår af nedenstående tabel.
However, these fluctuations are not correlated to the general situation of the Community industry as can be seen, for example, from the table below.
EF-erhvervsgrenens situation er nemlig blevet forværret gennem hele den betragtede periode, uanset leverancer af og priser på råvarer.
In fact, the situation of the Community industry has deteriorated throughout the period considered regardless of raw material supply and prices.
Dette peger på, at der findes andre forklarende faktorer i forbindelse med skaden.
This points to the existence of other explanatory factors for injury.
Enhedsomkostninger på råvarer (EUR pr. ton)
Unit cost of raw materials (EUR/tonne)
Fortjenstmargen før skat (se betragtning (76))
Pre-tax Profit Margin (see recital (76))
Af disse grunde er der intet der tyder på, at denne faktor er af en sådan art, at den kunne have brudt årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og EF-erhvervsgrenens forværrede situation.
On these grounds, there is no indication that this factor is of such a nature that it could have broken the causal link between the dumped imports from China and the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry.
Visse parter hævdede, at EF-erhvervsgrenens situation er et resultat af overinvestering.
Some parties claimed that the situation of the Community industry is a result of overinvestment.
Denne påstand er imidlertid tilsyneladende ubegrundet.
This allegation appears however to be unfounded.
De investeringer, EF-erhvervsgrenen har foretaget, vedrører hovedsageligt forbedringer af maskineri for at øge effektiviteten.
Investments made by the Community industry mainly concern improvement of machinery in order to increase efficiency.
Disse investeringer bidrog til at øge produktiviteten, hvilket i et vist omfang kunne kompensere for mulige stigninger i enhedsomkostningerne på kort sigt.
These investments contributed to productivity gains which would tend to compensate potential short term unit costs increases.
Disse investeringer kan derfor ikke betragtes som en faktor, der har bidraget til skaden.
These investments can not therefore be considered as a factor having contributed to injury.
Påstanden blev derfor afvist.
Therefore, this argument is rejected.
Kvalitetsforskelle
Quality differences
Visse parter hævdede, at EF-erhvervsgrenens situation er et resultat af EF-varers lavere kvalitet.
Some parties claimed that the situation of the Community industry is a result of the lower quality of Community products.
Som forklaret ovenfor i betragtning (18) til (21) undersøgte Kommissionen nøje varernes sammenlignelighed og fandt, at EF-varen og den kinesiske vare er identiske.
As explained above in recitals (18) to (21), the Commission closely examined comparability of products and found that both Community product and Chinese product are alike.
Forskellene mellem de to varer var ubetydelige og støttede ikke påstanden.
The differences encountered between the two products were minor and did not support the allegation.
Under alle omstændigheder ville sådanne mindre forskelle være til de kinesiske varers fordel og føre til større prisunderbud.
In any event, if any, such minor differences would appear to favour the Chinese products, leading to higher undercutting and underselling.
Konklusionen er, at det bekræftes, at den væsentlige skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, og som er kendetegnet ved dårligt salg, lav kapacitetsudnyttelse og negativt økonomisk resultat, skyldtes den pågældende dumpingimport.
In conclusion, it is confirmed that the material injury of the Community industry, which is characterized by weak sales, low utilisation of capacity and negative financial results was caused by the dumped imports concerned.
Indvirkningen af anden import, EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultat, valutasvingninger, leverancer af råvarer, kvalitetsforskelle eller investeringer på EF-erhvervsgrenens negative udvikling var kun meget begrænset.
Indeed, the effect of other imports, of export performance of the Community industry, of currency fluctuations, of supply of raw materials, of quality differences or of investments on the Community industry's negative developments was only limited, if any.
I betragtning af ovenstående analyse, hvor der er gjort behørigt rede for virkningerne af alle kendte faktorer på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation og sondret mellem de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, bekræftes det, at disse faktorer ikke i sig selv ændrer det forhold, at den konstaterede skade må tilskrives dumpingimporten.
Given the above analysis which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all the known factors on the situation of the Community Industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is hereby confirmed that these other factors as such do not reverse the fact that the injury assessed must be attributed to the dumped imports.
Det er blevet undersøgt, om der er tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke ville være i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre antidumpingtold på importen fra Kina.
It has been examined whether compelling reasons exist that could lead to the conclusion that it would not be in the Community interest to impose anti-dumping duties against imports from the PRC.
Fællesskabets interesser blev fastlagt på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, dvs. EF-erhvervsgrenens, importørernes og leverandørernes interesser.
The determination of the Community interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Community industry, importers and suppliers.
EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt under skadevoldende dumpingimport af den pågældende vare fra Kina.
The Community industry has been suffering from injurious dumped imports of the product concerned from the PRC.
Indførelsen af beskyttelsesforanstaltninger (jf. betragtning (4)) afbødede i et vist omfang virkningerne af den kinesiske import.
The imposition of safeguard measures (see recital (4)) allowed for some partial mitigation of the effects of Chinese imports.
I betragtning af skadens art (dvs. gentagne tab og tab af hjemmemarkedssalg) ville det være umuligt at undgå en yderligere forværring af situationen for EF-erhvervsgrenen uden foranstaltninger.
Taking into account the nature of the injury (i.e. recurrent losses, loss of domestic sales), a further and substantial deterioration in the situation of Community industry would be unavoidable in the absence of measures.
Undersøgelsen viste, at Fællesskabets produktion indbefatter fire producenter i citrusfrugttilberednings- eller konserveringsindustrien (mandariner osv.), som beskæftiger ca. 2000 arbejdstagere inden for produktion og afsætning af den pågældende vare.
The investigation showed that the Community production consists of four producers in the prepared or preserved citrus fruits (namely mandarins, etc.) industry, which employs around 2000 workers for the production and sales of the product concerned.
Den pågældende vare svarede til omkring 30 % af deres produktion.
The product concerned corresponded to approximately 30 % of their output.
Hvis der ikke træffes foranstaltninger, vil priserne blive ved med at falde, og EF-producenterne vil lide flere store tab, som på mellemlang til lang sigt ikke vil være bæredygtige.
Should measures not be imposed, prices would continue to decrease and the Community producers would incur further big losses, which would be unsustainable in the medium to long-term.
Dette ville tilmed have en negativ indvirkning på de berørte virksomheders øvrige aktivitet.
In addition, this would result in negative effects for the remaining activity of the companies concerned.
I betragtning af den investering, der er foretaget i produktionssystemer, kan det forventes, at visse fællesskabsproducenter ikke ville være i stand til at få dækket deres investeringer, hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger.
In view of the investment made in production systems, it can be expected that some Community producers would be unable to recover their investments should measures not be imposed.
Hvis der indføres antidumpingforanstaltninger, vil EF-erhvervsgrenen efter al sandsynlighed kunne hæve sine salgspriser til et niveau, som sikrer en rimelig fortjenstmargen.
Should anti-dumping measures be imposed, the Community industry would in all likelihood be able to increase its selling prices to a level that ensures a reasonable profit margin.
Visse importører kunne ikke tilslutte sig, at der blev indført foranstaltninger.
Certain importers opposed measures.
Andre, navnlig de seks ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører, som indgik i stikprøven og besvarede spørgeskemaet, var imidlertid enige i princippet om at indføre foranstaltninger i betragtning af behovet for at bibeholde to forsyningskilder til en vare, der er genstand for mulige produktionsudsving som følge af høstudbyttet.
However, others, and in particular the six unrelated importers which were sampled and provided answers to the questionnaire, agreed with the principle of imposing measures given the need to maintain a dual source of supply in a product subject to potential harvest-linked production fluctuations.
De understregede også behovet for stabilitet på markedet.
They also underlined the need for stability of the market.
Kommissionen gennemgik også oplysningerne fra de samarbejdende importører i de besvarede spørgeskemaer.
The Commission also analysed the data submitted by the cooperating importers in reply to the questionnaires.
I alle tilfælde udgør importen af den pågældende vare fra Kina kun en mindre del af deres samlede aktivitet.
In all cases, the activity of importing the product concerned from China represents only a minor proportion of their total activity.
Det forekommer derfor ikke sandsynligt, at enhver foranstaltning vedrørende importen af den pågældende vare fra Kina har en sådan indvirkning på situationen i importsektoren, at den er ude af proportion med de fordele, EF-erhvervsgrenen opnår.
Any measure on imports of the product concerned from China is therefore not likely to have such an impact on the situation of the importer sector as to be over-proportional to the benefits accrued by the Community industry.
Man bør minde om, at den pågældende vare, der først og fremmest anvendes som levnedsmiddel til privat forbrug som dessert eller tilbehør, hovedsagelig sælges til detailsektoren.
It is recalled that the product concerned, which is used primarily as a food for private consumption as a dessert or accompaniment, is mainly sold to the retail sector.
Varen sælges i større beholdere hovedsagelig direkte til cateringindustrien, der repræsenterer 25 % af forbruget.
When presented in larger containers, the product is mainly sold directly to the catering industry which absorbs 25 % of the consumption.
Der var dog ingen cateringvirksomhed, som samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
However, no catering company cooperated in the investigation.
Både detailsektoren og cateringindustrien køber i forbindelse med deres nuværende aktiviteter en bred vifte af varer, blandt hvilke den pågældende vare kun dækker en mindre del af deres behov og dermed af deres udgifter.
Both the retail sector and the catering industry purchase, in the framework of their current activity, a wide range of products, among which the product concerned represents only a minor proportion of their needs and, as a consequence, of their costs.
