For det første skal det bemærkes, at undersøgelsen viste, at EF-producenterne i stikprøven ikke udelukkende anvendte rapsfrøolie til deres biodieselproduktion, men også andre vegetabilske olier (sojabønne-, palme- og solsikkekerneolie) og af og til animalsk fedt.
It is firstly noted that the investigation revealed that the sampled Community producers were not relying solely on rapeseed oil for their production of biodiesel but also other vegetable oils (soybean, palm, sunflower) and occasionally animal fat.
Desuden anerkendes det rent faktisk i betragtning 109, at EF-erhvervsgrenen oplevede en markant stigning i råmaterialepriserne i løbet af den analyserede periode.
Moreover, it is indeed acknowledged in recital (109) above that the Community industry faced a significant increase in its raw material (feedstock) costs over the period analysed.
Denne udvikling skal dog ses på baggrund af en generel stigning i priserne på landbrugsprodukter på verdensplan, og det skal i den forbindelse bemærkes, at prisstigningen på sojabønneolie (det vigtigste råmateriale for producenterne i det pågældende land) var mere udtalt i samme periode.
However, this development has to be seen against a general increase in prices of agricultural products worldwide and it is noted in this respect that the price increase for soybean oil (the main feedstock used by the producers in the country concerned) was more pronounced over the same period.
Råmaterialeprisstigningerne havde således virkninger for alle biodieseltyper.
Accordingly, all types of biodiesel were affected by feedstock price increase.
På et marked med effektive konkurrencevilkår bør det kunne forventes, at producenterne kan overvælte omkostningsstigningerne på kunderne på markedet.
In a market governed by effective competition, it should be expected that producers would be able to recover the costs increases and pass it on to the market.
Undersøgelsen viste dog, at det var presset fra den kraftige stigning i billig dumpingimport på markedet i Fællesskabet, som ikke gav EF-producenterne mulighed for at fastsætte deres salgspriser i overensstemmelse med markedsvilkårene og omkostningsstigningerne.
However, the investigation showed that it was the pressure exercised by the surge of low-priced dumped imports on the Community market which did not allow the Community producers to set their sales prices in line with market conditions and the cost increases.
Som nævnt var der også markante prisstigninger på det vigtigste råmateriale, som producenterne i USA anvender, dvs. sojabønneolie, i den analyserede periode.
As mentioned also the main feedstock used by the US producers, namely soybean oil, marked a pronounced price increase in the period analysed.
Disse omkostningsstigninger i USA blev dog ikke afspejlet i priserne på dumpingimporten til markedet i Fællesskabet.
However, these increases in costs in the USA were not reflected in the prices of the dumped imports in the Community market.
På denne baggrund kan råmaterialeprisstigningerne ikke bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skade, EF-erhvervsgrenen er blevet forvoldt.
Against this background the raw material price increase cannot break the casual link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Prisudviklingen for mineralsk diesel
Price development of mineral diesel
En af de interesserede parter hævdede, at stigningen i biodieselpriserne, som var mere markant end stigningen i priserne på mineralsk diesel, navnlig i Tyskland, har medført et fald i salget for de producenter, der leverer til markedet i Tyskland, fordi der er en stærk sammenhæng mellem priserne på henholdsvis mineralsk diesel og biodiesel.
One interested party argued that because of a strong correlation between mineral diesel prices and biodiesel prices, the increase of the biodiesel prices, which was sharper than the increase of the mineral diesel prices, especially in Germany, would have caused a drop in sales for the producers supplying the market of this Member State.
Det skal først bemærkes, at den pågældende part ikke forelagde dokumentation for denne påstand.
It is firstly noted that the party in question did not provide any information to substantiate its claim.
I modstrid med denne parts påstand afslørede undersøgelsen desuden, at EF-erhvervsgrenen havde øget sit salg og sin markedsandel i løbet af den analyserede periode.
Moreover, contrary to what was suggested by this party, the investigation revealed that the Community industry had increased its sales and market share over the period analysed.
Da der noteres samme råoliepriser i hele verden, skulle salget af den pågældende vare endvidere have været påvirket i samme omfang som salget af biodiesel produceret i Fællesskabet.
In addition, since crude oil prices are quoted on a world-wide basis, sales of the product concerned should have been affected in the same manner as the sales of biodiesel produced in the Community.
På baggrund af ovenstående måtte dette argument afvises.
On the basis of the above, this argument had to be rejected.
Betydningen af biodieselanlæggenes placering i Fællesskabet
Importance of the location of the biodiesel plants in the Community
En af de interesserede parter hævdede, at en biodieselproducents geografiske placering er af stor betydning for konkurrenceevnen og bruger Tyskland som eksempel for at vise, at biodieselproducenter med anlæg inde i landet skal afholde større transportomkostninger, da alle de store kunder, navnlig raffinaderier og deres blandingsanlæg, er placeret på kysten.
One interested party claimed that the location of any biodiesel producer would be an important element in terms of competitiveness and uses Germany as an example to demonstrate that landlocked locations of biodiesel producers would have to bear high transportation costs since all big customers, in particular refineries and their blending facilities are located at the coast.
Undersøgelsen viste, at kun et beskedent antal af EF-erhvervsgrenens producenter havde deres anlæg inde i landet.
The investigation showed that only a small number of Community industry producers was located in landlocked locations.
Desuden blev det for en række af disse producenters vedkommende konstateret, at raffinaderierne også befandt sig inde i landet tæt på de pågældende producenter.
Moreover, for certain of these producers it was found that refineries existed also in landlocked locations close to these producers.
For andre producenters vedkommende viste undersøgelsen, at eventuelle ulemper for biodieselproducenter inde i landet med hensyn til at være langt fra kunderne (virksomheder, der blander diesel, og raffinaderier) blev udlignet af fordelene ved at være tæt på knusemøllerne og/eller råmaterialeleverandørerne.
For others the investigation revealed that any disadvantage for landlocked biodiesel producers in terms of being far away from their customers (blenders, refineries) was compensated by being close to crushing mills and/or feedstock providers.
På grundlag af ovenstående blev påstanden om, at anlæggets placering inde i landet forvolder EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, afvist.
On the basis of the above, the claim that the location of plant in landlocked locations is causing material injury to the Community industry was rejected.
Producenter, der er forretningsmæssigt forbundet med eksportørerne i USA
Producers related to the US exporters
Det bør bemærkes, at der er blevet taget hensyn til virkningerne af de tre i betragtning 60 omhandlede virksomheders import fra USA i forbindelse med den i betragtning 112 til 118 omhandlede analyse af virkningerne af dumpingimport fra USA.
It should be noted that the impact of the imports from the USA by the three companies referred to in recital (60) has been taken into account in the analysis of the effect of dumped imports from the USA made in recitals to (112) to (118) above.
Hvad angår salget af den biodiesel, de selv har produceret, afslørede undersøgelsen ikke, at deres prisfastsættelse eller adfærd adskilte sig fra prisfastsættelsen eller adfærden for EF-producenterne i stikprøven, navnlig ikke i UP.
As far as their sales of own produced biodiesel are concerned, the investigation did not point to a different pricing or behaviour than that of the sampled Community producers, in particular during the IP.
Ovennævnte analyse har vist, at der mellem 2005 og UP var en betragtelig stigning i mængde og markedsandele for den billige dumpingimport med oprindelse i USA.
The above analysis has demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports originating in the USA between 2005 and the IP.
Det blev samtidig konstateret, at EF-erhvervsgrenens priser blev underbudt i betydeligt omfang i UP i forbindelse med denne import.
At the same time, it was found that these imports were significantly undercutting the price of the Community industry during the IP.
De forskellige resultater af undersøgelsen og analysen, hvor perioden 2005-2006 sammenlignes med perioden 2007 til UP, viste, at der var et klart tidsmæssigt sammenfald mellem den kraftige stigning i billig import fra USA og den væsentlige forværring af EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation, navnlig i UP.
The various findings of the investigation and the analysis carried out, for the period 2005 and 2006 compared to the period 2007 to the IP, showed that there was a clear coincidence in time between the surge of the low-priced imports from the USA and the significant deterioration of the economic situation of the Community industry, in particular during the IP.
På baggrund af ovenstående analyse, hvor der blev behørigt skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimport, konkluderedes det foreløbigt, at dumpingimporten fra USA har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it was provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the USA have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Kommissionen undersøgte i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21, om der til trods for konklusionerne om skadevoldende dumping er tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke er i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre foranstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Community interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
Fællesskabets interesser blev fastlagt på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, dvs. EF-erhvervsgrenens, importørernes, råmaterialeleverandørernes og brugernes interesser.
The determination of the Community interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Community industry, the importers, the raw material suppliers and the users of the product concerned.
EF-erhvervsgrenen led som nævnt væsentlig skade på grund af dumpingimporten med oprindelse i USA.
As mentioned above, the Community industry suffered material injury caused by dumped imports originating in the USA.
Hvis der ikke træffes foranstaltninger, vil det højst sandsynligt medføre, at den negative tendens for EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation opretholdes.
Not taking measures would most likely lead to a continuation of the negative trend of the financial situation of the Community industry.
EF-erhvervsgrenens situation blev i særdeleshed påvirket af et fald i rentabiliteten på 12,6 procentpoint mellem 2005 og UP som følge af utilstrækkelige prisstigninger.
The situation of the Community industry was particularly marked by a decrease in profitability of 12,6 percentage points between 2005 and the IP due to insufficient price increases.
På baggrund af den negative tendens for rentabiliteten er det rent faktisk højst sandsynligt, at EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation vil blive yderligere forværret, hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger.
Indeed, in view of the downwards trend in profitability, it is most likely that the financial situation of the Community industry will deteriorate further in the absence of any measures.
Dette kan i sidste ende føre til produktionsnedskæringer og yderligere lukning af produktionsanlæg og derfor true beskæftigelsen og investeringerne i Fællesskabet.
This would ultimately lead to cuts in production and more closures of production sites, which would therefore threaten employment and investments in the Community.
Ved indførelse af foranstaltninger antages det at være muligt at genskabe loyal konkurrence på markedet.
It is considered that the imposition of measures would restore fair competition on the market.
Det bør bemærkes, at den negative tendens for EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet skyldes, at den har vanskeligt ved at konkurrere med lavprisdumpingimporten med oprindelse i USA.
It should be noted that the Community industry's downwards trend in profitability is the result of its difficulty in competing with the dumped, low-priced, imports originating in the USA.
Indføres der antidumpingforanstaltninger, vil EF-erhvervsgrenen sandsynligvis være i stand til at opretholde rentabiliteten på det niveau, som anses for nødvendigt for denne kapitalintensive industri.
The imposition of anti-dumping measures would likely put the Community industry in the position to maintain its profitability at levels considered necessary for this capital intensive industry.
Det kan konkluderes, at foranstaltninger forventes at være effektive med hensyn til at give EF-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at overvinde virkningerne af den skadevoldende dumping, der er afdækket ved denne undersøgelse.
In conclusion, it was expected that measures would be effective in giving the Community industry the opportunity to recover from the injurious dumping found during the investigation.
Der blev ved indledningen rettet henvendelse til ca. 25 ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører/forhandlere i Fællesskabet.
Around 25 unrelated importers/traders in the Community were contacted upon initiation.
Disse parter udviste dog ikke samarbejdsvilje.
However no cooperation was received from these parties.
Under disse omstændigheder var det indledningsvis umuligt at foretage en præcis vurdering af foranstaltningernes mulige virkninger for importørerne.
In these circumstances, it was provisionally not possible to precisely assess the possible impact of the measures on importers.
Der blev rettet henvendelse til alle kendte brugervirksomheder, der beskæftiger sig med produktion og distribution af mineralsk diesel samt den obligatoriske blanding af mineralsk diesel og biodiesel, og disse virksomheder modtog også et spørgeskema ved indledningen af undersøgelsen.
All known user companies involved in mineral diesel production and distribution, and also involved in the mandatory blending of mineral diesel with biodiesel were contacted and questionnaires were sent to them upon initiation.
Kun en brugervirksomhed ønskede at samarbejde.
Cooperation was obtained from only one user company.
Denne bruger fremsendte en besvarelse af spørgeskemaet, hvoraf det fremgik, at brugeren går ind for at stoppe indstrømningen af billig import fra USA, fordi denne import fordrejer konkurrencesituationen i Fællesskabet, hvilket forvolder virksomheder, der producerer og sælger diesel, skade, da visse virksomheder på markedet, som ikke afstår fra at købe denne billige vare, opnår en konkurrencemæssig fordel i forhold til de virksomheder, som afstår fra at købe denne vare.
This user submitted a questionnaire response by which it stated that it is in favour of putting an end to the flows of cheap USA imports, because they create distortions of competition in the Community which causes injury to the companies in charge of manufacture and sale of diesel, since certain competitors that do not refrain from buying this cheap priced product have an unfair competition advantage when compared to those that refrain from doing so.
Denne bruger hævdede også, at foranstaltningerne vil gøre det muligt at genoptage esterproduktionen på anlæggene navnlig i Tyskland og/eller at fortsætte gennemførelsen af projekter, der går ud på at etablere nye esterificeringsanlæg i Fællesskabet.
It also claimed that measures would allow the restarting of ester production factories (in particular in Germany) and/or will allow projects of creating new esterification factories in the Community to continue.
Da den europæiske ester traditionelt fremstilles af rapsfrø (et råmateriale, som er af bedre kvalitet end den palmeolie eller sojabønneolie, der anvendes til produktionen af B99), ville en stigning i antallet af producenter i Europa således medføre flere varer af bedre kvalitet, hvilket så igen ville medføre et fald i esterpriserne og i sidste ende være til fordel for forbrugerne.
As the European ester is made traditionally of rapeseed (raw material of better quality than the palm or soya used for the production of B99), the augmentation in the number of producers in Europe would therefore mean more products of better quality that would result in a drop in the prices of the ester, for the consumer's final benefit.
En brugersammenslutning, som repræsenterer rederiernes interesser i en af medlemsstaterne, hævdede, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ville være til skade for sammenslutningens medlemmer.
One users association, representing the interests of Shippers in one Member State claimed that the imposition of measures would have an adverse effect on the activity of its members.
Den hævdede, at diesel tegner sig for 20-25 % af transportsektorens omkostninger, og at dieselprisen er af afgørende betydning for tusinder af virksomheders overlevelse på grund af denne sektors ringe rentabilitet (0-5 %).
It alleged that diesel is responsible for 20 to 25 % of the costs of the transport sector and that given the low profitability of the sector (0-5 %), the price of diesel is determinant for the survival of thousands of companies.
Disse påstande kunne dog ikke efterprøves, da der ikke blev modtaget besvarelser af brugerspørgeskemaet fra de individuelle medlemmer af den pågældende sammenslutning.
These allegations could not, however, be verified as no replies to the users questionnaire were received from individual members of the association in question.
Under disse omstændigheder blev det foreløbigt konkluderet, at på baggrund af de givne oplysninger synes virkningerne af antidumpingforanstaltninger at være blandede, og der kan således ikke konkluderes noget endeligt om, hvorvidt der er tvingende årsager til at undlade at vedtage foranstaltninger af hensyn til brugernes interesser i dette særlige tilfælde.
In these circumstances, it was provisionally concluded that, on the basis of the information provided, the effect of anti-dumping measures would appear to be mixed and thus no clear conclusion can be made regarding the existence of compelling reasons, in the interest of users, not to adopt measures in this particular case.
Råmaterialeleverandørernes interesser
Interest of suppliers of raw materials
Seks leverandører besvarede spørgeskemaet.
Six suppliers replied to the questionnaire.
Fire støttede indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger, idet de hævdede, at EF-erhvervsgrenens overlevelse på lang sigt ville være truet, hvis der ikke indføres antidumpingforanstaltninger.
Four supported the imposition of anti-dumping measures by submitting that, if anti-dumping measures are not to be imposed, the long-term presence of the Community industry would be at risk.
Skulle der ikke blive indført foranstaltninger, vil det have klare negative virkninger for deres situation.
Should this happen, there would be a clear negative impact on their situation.
To andre, som var forretningsmæssigt forbundne med eksporterende biodieselproducenter i USA, hævdede, at virkningerne af eventuelle foranstaltninger ville være ubetydelige, da de blot ville medføre en ændring af handelsstrømmene (et skifte til import fra lande, der ikke er omfattet af foranstaltningerne).
Two others that were related to exporting producers of biodiesel in the USA, submitted that possible measures would not be of significant impact as they would result to a shift in trade flows (switch to imports from countries not covered by the measures).
På grundlag af ovenstående kunne det konkluderes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger generelt ville have positive virkninger for råmaterialeleverandørernes situation.
On the basis of the above, it could be concluded that the imposition of measures would overall have a positive effect on the situation of raw material suppliers.
En af de interesserede parter hævdede, at der ikke er overensstemmelse mellem den nuværende procedure og politiske beslutninger på internationalt plan og fællesskabsplan om at fremme produktionen og salget af biobrændstoffer for at beskytte miljøet og mindske afhængigheden af mineralske brændstoffer.
One interested party alleged an incoherence of the present proceeding with international and Community policy decisions to promote bio-fuels production and sales related to environmental protection and decrease in the dependency from mineral fuels.
I den forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at der i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 21 skal tages særligt hensyn til behovet for at bringe den fordrejning af handelen, som skyldes skadevoldende dumping, til ophør og genskabe en situation med effektiv konkurrence.
In this regard it has to be noted that Article 21 of the basic Regulation requires that special consideration shall be given to the need to eliminate trade distorting effects of injurious dumping and to restore effective competition.
På denne baggrund kan der ikke tages hensyn til generelle overvejelser om miljøbeskyttelse og udbuddet af mineralsk diesel i forbindelse med analysen, og sådanne overvejelser kan heller ikke retfærdiggøre illoyal handelspraksis.
Against this background, general considerations on environmental protection and supply of mineral diesel cannot be taken into account in the analysis and at the same time cannot justify unfair trade practices.
For så vidt angår situationen på markedet i Fællesskabet efter indførelse af antidumpingforanstaltninger, vil de berørte eksporterende producenter i USA — i betragtning af deres stærke markedsposition — sandsynligvis blive ved med at sælge deres varer, dog ikke til dumpingpriser.
With respect to the Community market, following the imposition of anti-dumping measures, the USA exporting producers concerned, given their strong market positions, would likely continue to sell their products, albeit at non-dumped prices.
Det er også sandsynligt, at der stadig vil være et tilstrækkeligt antal store konkurrenter på markedet i Fællesskabet, nemlig de EF-producenter, som midlertidigt standsede produktionen, og andre, som ikke har været i stand til at påbegynde deres produktionsaktiviteter på grund af dumpingimporten.
It is also likely that there would still be a sufficient number of major competitors on the Community market, namely the Community producers that ceased temporarily production and others that have not been able to launch their production activities due to the dumped imports.
Det bør i denne forbindelse bemærkes, at salget for de EF-producenter, der ikke er repræsenteret i denne undersøgelse, i begyndelsen af den analyserede periode tegnede sig for mindst 30 % af markedet i Fællesskabet, og at denne andel faldt markant på grund af dumpingimporten fra USA.
It should be noted in this respect that, at the beginning of the period analysed, sales from Community producers not represented in this investigation accounted for at least 30 % of the Community market and this share decreased dramatically due to the dumped import from the USA.
Brugerne ville derfor sandsynligvis fortsat kunne vælge mellem forskellige leverandører af biodiesel.
Therefore, it is likely that users will continue to have the choice of different suppliers of biodiesel.
