Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger til de foreløbige konklusioner vedrørende EF-erhvervsgrenens situation, bekræftes betragtning 109 til 129 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the absence of any other comments on the provisional findings concerning the economic situation of the Community industry, recitals 109 to 129 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Det bekræftes endvidere, at EF-erhvervsgrenen led væsentlig skade, jf. konklusionen i betragtning 130 til 134 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
The conclusion that the Community industry suffered material injury, as set out in recitals 130 to 134 of the provisional Regulation, is also confirmed.
Da det blev konkluderet, at yderligere to eksporterende producenter fra Kina ikke dumpede deres varer på EF-markedet, blev det på ny vurderet, om konklusionerne i betragtning 136 til 142 i forordningen om midlertidig told stadig er gældende.
Following the finding that two additional exporting producers in the PRC were not dumping their products in the Community market, it was reassessed whether the findings and conclusions described in recitals 136 to 142 of the provisional Regulation remained valid.
Den nye vurdering bekræftede, at stearinlys, som eksporteredes fra Kina til EF-markedet, solgtes til betydeligt dumpede priser i UP.
The reassessment confirmed that the candles exported from the PRC to the Community market were sold at significantly dumped prices during the IP.
Som nævnt i betragtning 71, blev det konstateret, at de samarbejdende eksporterende producenter fra Kina solgte den pågældende vare med en gennemsnitlig dumpingmargen på 31,8 %.
As mentioned in recital 71, it was found that the cooperating exporting producers in the PRC were selling the product concerned with an average dumping margin of 31,8 %.
Det bekræftes endvidere, at henved 55 % af de kinesiske eksportører ikke samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
The finding that around 55 % of Chinese exporters did not cooperate in the investigation is confirmed.
Jf. betragtning 82, blev der i undersøgelsen fundet tilstrækkelig indikation for, at disse eksporterende producenter også dumpede deres varer på EF-markedet.
As mentioned in recital 82, the investigation found sufficient indication that these exporting producers were also dumping their products on the Community market.
Dumpingimportens omfang steg med 31 % på EF-markedet i løbet af den betragtede periode.
Dumped imports on the Community market increased in volume by 31 % during the period considered.
På grundlag af ovenstående kendsgerninger og betragtninger ændrer det forhold, at yderligere to eksporterende producenter ikke dumpede deres varer på EF-markedet, ikke ved analysen i betragtning 136 til 142 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Based on the above facts and considerations, the fact that two additional exporting producers were not dumping their product on the Community market does not change the analysis made in recitals 136 to 142 of the provisional Regulation.
Det bekræftes derfor, at den stigende lavprisdumpingimport fra Kina har haft en betydelig negativ indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i løbet af UP.
It is therefore confirmed 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.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger til udviklingen i efterspørgslen på EF-markedet, EF-erhvervsgrenens import af stearinlys, importen fra andre tredjelande og andre EF-stearinlysproducenters resultater, bekræftes betragtning 143 til 151 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the absence of any comments concerning the development of demand on the Community market, the imports of candles by the Community industry, the imports from other third countries or the performance of other candle producers in the Community, recitals 143 to 151 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
En part påstod, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke kunne følge med ekspansionen på EF-markedet, da denne havde øget sit eksportsalg i UP.
One party argued that the Community industry could not follow the expansion of the Community market due to the fact that it had increased its export sales during the IP.
Med henblik på en grundig undersøgelse af påstanden skal EF-erhvervsgrenens lagerbeholdninger, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelsesgrad undersøges nærmere.
To fully examine the claim, it is necessary to look at the level of stocks, the production capacity and the rate of utilisation of the production capacity of the Community industry.
EF-erhvervsgrenens lagerbeholdninger udgjorde, jf. betragtning 118 i forordningen om midlertidig told, gennemsnitligt ca. 25 % af produktionen og nåede op på 56000 tons i UP.
As mentioned in recital 118 of the provisional Regulation, the level of stocks available to the Community industry represented on average around 25 % of production and was as high as 56000 tonnes during the IP.
EF-erhvervsgrenen kunne således have produceret og solgt en større del af sine varer på EF-markedet.
Hence, the Community industry could have produced and sold more of its products on the Community market.
På baggrund af ovenstående kendsgerninger og betragtninger afvises påstanden om, at EF-erhvervsgrenens øgede eksportsalg skulle kunne forklare, at erhvervsgrenen ikke kunne følge med ekspansionen i forbruget.
Based on the above facts and considerations, the claim that the increase in export sales by the Community industry would have explained the fact that the Community industry could not follow the expansion of consumption is rejected.
Følgelig bekræftes konklusionen i betragtning 153 i forordningen om midlertidig told, nemlig at EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade.
Consequently, the conclusion in recital 153 of the provisional Regulation that the export performance of the Community industry did not contribute to the material injury is confirmed.
EF-erhvervsgrenens import af stearinlys og udflytning af produktionen
Imports of candles by the Community industry and relocation of production by the Community industry
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger til EF-erhvervsgrenens import af stearinlys og udflytning af produktionen, bekræftes betragtning 154 til 160 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the absence of any comments regarding imports of candles by the Community industry and the relocation of production by the Community industry, recitals 154 to 160 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Det skal erindres, at det på baggrund af de foreliggende oplysninger blev konkluderet, at kartellets eventuelle indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i UP, dvs. i 2007, var ubetydelig.
It is recalled that, based on information available, it was found that the impact, if any, of this cartel on the economic situation of the Community industry during the IP, i.e. the year 2007, was negligible.
Selv om priserne for paraffinvoks steg i Fællesskabet i UP, blev der ikke konstateret væsentlige prisforskelle i de tilfælde, hvor EF-producenterne indkøbte identiske paraffintyper fra kartelmedlemmer eller andre leverandører.
Although price levels for paraffin wax increased in the Community during the IP, it was found that in cases where the Community producers purchased identical paraffin types from cartel members or other suppliers, there were no substantial price differences.
Det blev endvidere konstateret, at EF-producenternes indkøbspriser lå på linje med de priser, der blev konstateret hos de samarbejdende producenter i Kina.
Moreover, the purchase prices of the Community producers were found to be in line with those observed for the cooperating producers in the PRC.
Endelig blev der i UP ikke konstateret forskelle, der kunne antyde en vedvarende effektivitet i prisaftalerne i perioden 2004-2005.
Finally, no differences pointing to any lasting effectiveness of the price agreements made back in the period 2004-2005 could be found during the IP.
På baggrund af ovenstående og da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger eller fremlagt nye konklusioner, bekræftes betragtning 161 til 169 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In view of the above and in the absence of any other comment or new finding, recitals 161 to 169 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
På baggrund af ovenstående og da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger, bekræftes betragtning 170 til 173 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the light of the foregoing and in the absence of any other comments recitals 170 to 173 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger vedrørende EF-erhvervsgrenens interesser, bekræftes betragtning 175 til 178 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the absence of any comments concerning the interest of the Community industry, recitals 175 to 178 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Virkninger for detailhandlere og importører
Impact on retailers and importers
Kommissionen udsendte, jf. betragtning 179 i forordningen om midlertidig told, 32 spørgeskemaer med henblik på at vurdere de foreslåede foranstaltningers mulige indvirkning på detailhandleres og importørers virksomhed, hvoraf seks blev besvaret og kun to besvarelser blev betragtet som relevante med henblik på analysen af Fællesskabets interesser.
As mentioned in recital 179 of the provisional Regulation, of the six questionnaire replies received, out of the 32 questionnaires sent to assess the possible impact of the proposed measures on the activity of retailers and importers, only two replies were received which could be considered to be meaningful for the purpose of the Community interest analysis.
Disse to besvarelser blev indsendt af importører af stearinlys.
These two replies were received from importers of candles.
Det skal erindres, at EF-markedet består af større detailhandlere, som hovedsagelig importerer stearinlys direkte fra Kina og efterfølgende sælger dem videre til forbrugerne, og af importører, som generelt sælger til andre mellemmænd i distributionskæden, navnlig detailforhandlere eller grossister, inden varen når ud til den endelige forbruger.
It is recalled that the Community market is composed of large retailers, which mainly import candles directly from the PRC and subsequently resell them to consumers, and of importers, which generally sell to other intermediary parties in the distribution chain, mainly retailers or wholesalers, before the product reaches the end-customer.
Analysen af EF-markedet viste, at forbrugerpriserne i distributionskæden generelt fastsættes af de større detailhandlere.
The analysis of the Community market showed that within the distribution chain, the consumer price is in general set by the large retailers.
Der fremkom dog ikke nogen relevante oplysninger i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, som kunne lægges til grund for en nøjagtig vurdering af antidumpingforanstaltningernes mulige indvirkning på deres virksomhed.
This, however, did not provide any meaningful information in the context of the investigation which would allow to accurately assess the likely impact of the anti-dumping measures on their activity.
En række parter påstod, at der er to separate detailmarkeder for stearinlys i Fællesskabet, og at EF-producenterne dominerede leverancen til den dyrere del af markedet, mens den billigere del af markedet forsynes med importerede stearinlys fra Kina.
Certain parties claimed that there are two separate retail markets for candles in the Community and that the Community producers predominantly supply the upper-end market while the lower-end market is supplied by candles imported from the PRC.
De påstod, at den billigere del af markedet ville forsvinde med indførelsen af antidumpingtolden, da detailhandlerne ville vælge at fjerne stearinlys fra deres varesortiment.
They argued that with the imposition of anti-dumping duties, the latter would disappear as retailers would choose to drop candles from their product range.
Det skal først bemærkes, at undersøgelseskonklusionerne ikke understøttede ovenstående påstand om, at der angiveligt findes to separate detailmarkeder i Fællesskabet, eller at dette aspekt kunne have været en relevant faktor i forbindelse med analysen af Fællesskabets interesser.
It should first be noted that the findings of the investigation did not support the above claim that there would be two separate retail markets in the Community or that this aspect could have been a relevant factor to take into account in the analysis of Community interest issues.
Selv om der skulle findes en billigere del af markedet, konkluderes det for det andet, at detailhandlere, i modsætning til de pågældende parters påstand, selv med indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne stadig har mulighed for at foretage i det mindste en del af deres indkøb af stearinlys uden at blive omfattet af antidumpingtolden.
Secondly, even if a lower-end market existed, contrary to the claim made by these parties, it is considered that even with anti-dumping measures in place, the retailers would still have the possibility to purchase at least part of their candles without being subject to anti-dumping duties.
Der findes ganske rigtigt flere forsyningskilder på EF-markedet, og samtidig er visse kinesiske eksporterende producenter enten ikke underlagt antidumpingtold eller er underlagt en antidumpingtold, hvis form og størrelse sandsynligvis kan sikre, at importen fra Kina stadig er konkurrencedygtig, men til ikke-skadevoldende priser.
Indeed, on the one hand, there are various sources of supply available in the Community market and, on the other hand, certain Chinese exporting producers are either not subject to anti-dumping duties or are subject to anti-dumping duties the level and form of which are likely to keep the imports from the PRC still competitive, although at non-injurious prices.
I betragtning af niveauet for de margener, som detailhandlerne af den pågældende vare havde opnået på grundlag af de foreliggende oplysninger, syntes påstanden ikke at være berettiget og blev derfor afvist.
Finally, considering the level of the margins achieved by the retailers on the product concerned on the basis of the available information, the claim did not appear to be justified and was therefore rejected.
Efter fremlæggelsen af de foreløbige konklusioner anfægtede en række større detailhandlere og andre parter den metode, der var anvendt til at anslå detailhandlernes bruttofortjenestemargener på den pågældende vare, og dermed konklusionen i betragtning 185 i forordningen om midlertidig told, nemlig at antidumpingtolden i betragtning af de høje bruttomargener ville have en begrænset indvirkning, om nogen, på detailhandlere.
Following the provisional disclosure, certain large retailers and also some other parties contested the method used to estimate the retailers’ gross profit margin on the product concerned and hence the conclusion, reached in recital 185 of the provisional Regulation, that in view of the high gross margins, the anti-dumping duties would have a limited impact, if any, on retailers.
Efter behandling af påstanden skal det bemærkes, at ordlyden i den pågældende betragtning i forordningen om midlertidig told bør ændres.
After examination of the claim, it should be noted that the wording in the relevant recital of the provisional Regulation should be revised.
Ordet »bruttofortjenstmargener« i første punktum af betragtning 185 i forordningen om midlertidig told bør nemlig ændres til »avance«.
The word ‘gross profit margins’ in the first sentence of recital 185 of the provisional Regulation should in fact be read as ‘mark up’.
Denne ændring i ordlyden ændrer dog ikke konklusionerne om foranstaltningernes mulige indvirkning på detailhandlerne.
This change in the wording does not, however, alter the conclusions concerning the possible impact of the measures on retailers.
Resultatet af beregningerne i forordningen om midlertidig told er stadig gældende.
The result of the calculations made in the provisional Regulation remains valid.
De pågældende parter fremlagde desuden ingen dokumentation for deres påstand eller fremkom med beviser, der kunne have foranlediget en mere nøjagtig beregning af fortjenstmargenen, før der træffes endelig afgørelse om Fællesskabets interesser.
Moreover, these parties did not substantiate their claims, nor did they come forward with any evidence that would have allowed a more accurate profit margin for the definitive determinations on Community interest to be established.
Desuden foreslog parterne ingen alternativ metode til vurdering af toldens indvirkning på detailhandlerne.
In addition, no alternative method was proposed by these parties to assess the impact of duties on retailers.
På grundlag af det ovenstående bekræftes beregningerne i betragtning 185 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
Based on the above, the calculations made in recital 185 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger, bekræftes betragtning 183 til 187 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the absence of any other comments, recitals 183 to 187 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Hvad angår foranstaltningernes virkninger for importører, der som forklaret i betragtning 115, hovedsagelig leverer stearinlys bl.a. importeret fra Kina til detailhandlere og grossister, viste undersøgelsen, at stearinlysene ofte indkøbes eller importeres og dernæst pakkes med andre relaterede genstande såsom glas- og keramiklysestager.
As regards the impact of measures on importers, which, as explained in recital 115, mainly supply retailers and wholesalers with candles imported, inter alia, from the PRC, the investigation showed that candles are often purchased or imported and then packaged with various other related articles, such as glass and ceramic candle holders.
Undersøgelsen viste, at stearinlysene også kan sælges til relativt lave priser for at stimulere salget af andre varer med relation til stearinlys, som der opnås en højere fortjeneste på.
The investigation showed that candles can also be sold at a relatively low price to stimulate the sales of other products related to candles on which higher profits are made.
Under disse omstændigheder har det været vanskeligt at vurdere foranstaltningernes indvirkning udelukkende for aktiviteter i forbindelse med stearinlys.
Under these circumstances, assessing the impact of the measures on the activity relating to candles only, has proven to be difficult.
Det blev dog på grundlag af efterprøvede data fra de to samarbejdende importører konkluderet, at disse virksomheders samlede bruttofortjenstmargener udelukkende på den pågældende vare ikke var lave (væsentligt over 25 %).
However, based on the verified data of the two cooperating importers, it was found that the overall gross profit margins of these companies exclusively on the product concerned were not low (significantly above 25 %).
Fortjenstmargenen for en varekategori, der omfatter alle varer i relation til stearinlys, ville være endnu højere.
A profit margin for a category of products, including all candle-related products would be even higher.
Det blev desuden konkluderet, at enhver prisstigning, eller i hvert fald en del af en mulig prisstigning i forbindelse med indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne på stearinlys, kunne væltes over på distributionskæden.
In addition, it is considered that any price increase, or at least part of the possible price increase linked to the imposition of anti-dumping measures on candles, could likely be passed on to the distribution chain.
Det blev således konkluderet, at eventuelle virkninger af antidumpingforanstaltningerne sandsynligvis ikke er væsentlige for den samlede stearinlysaktivitet.
It was thus considered that any impact of anti-dumping measures is not likely to be significant on the overall candle-related activity.
En yderligere analyse af de data, som importørernes indgav, bekræftede, at den pågældende vare i gennemsnit udgør 3,4 % af deres samlede omsætning.
A further analysis of the data supplied by importers confirmed that the product concerned represents on average only 3,4 % of their overall turnover.
For den ene af de to importører var denne andel en anelse højere, og det kan derfor ikke udelukkes, at indførelsen af foranstaltningerne kan få en negativ indvirkning på denne importør.
For one of the two importers this share was somewhat higher and therefore it cannot be excluded that the imposition of measures could have a negative impact on this importer.
I betragtning af de interesser, der er på spil, blev det dog konkluderet, at antidumpingtoldens gennemsnitlige indvirkning på importørernes samlede aktiviteter ikke kan betragtes som betydelig.
However, considering all the interests at stake in the case, it was concluded that on average the impact of the anti-dumping duties on the total company activity of the importers cannot be considered significant.
På grundlag af ovenstående bekræftes konklusionen i betragtning 182 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
Based on the above, the conclusion, as set out in recital 182 of the provisional Regulation, is hereby confirmed.
Indvirkning på forbrugerne
Impact on consumers
Påstanden i betragtning 116 om, at der findes to separate detailmarkeder, og at den billigere del af markedet som følge af indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne kunne forsvinde, vedrørte også indvirkningen på forbrugerne, da forbrugernes valg af stearinlys af en lavere kvalitet ville blive begrænset.
The claim mentioned in recital 116, that two separate retail markets exist and that, as a consequence of the anti-dumping measures, the lower-end market could disappear, also referred to the impact on consumers since the choice for the consumer of candles with a lower quality would be limited.
Denne påstand var dog ikke begrundet.
However, this claim has not been substantiated.
I betragtning af detailmarkedets struktur, detailhandlernes margener og antidumpingtoldens form og størrelse blev det konkluderet, at det med rimelighed kan forventes, at der ikke er risiko for, at den billigere del af markedet forsvinder, da importørerne og detailhandlerne vil være i stand til at absorbere tolden uden at vælte den over på forbrugerne.
It was considered that in view of the structure of the retail market, the margins achieved by retailers and the level and form of the anti-dumping duties, it is reasonable to expect that there should be no risk for the disappearance of a lower-end market, as importers and retailers should be able to absorb the duty, without passing it on to consumers.
Det skal endvidere erindres, at formålet med antidumpingforanstaltningerne, jf. betragtning 131, er at genindføre effektive handelsbetingelser på EF-markedet til fordel for alle aktører, herunder forbrugere.
It is also recalled that, as mentioned in recital 131, the purpose of anti-dumping measures is to restore effective trade conditions on the Community market to the benefit of all operators, including consumers.
Intet i ovenstående kendsgerninger og betragtninger samt de foreliggende oplysninger i denne procedure peger mod en væsentlig indvirkning på forbrugerne.
The above facts and considerations and all the information available in this case do not point to any significant impact on consumers.
Da der ikke er modtaget reaktioner fra forbrugersammenslutningerne efter indførelsen af den midlertidige antidumpingtold, bekræftes konklusionen i betragtning 191 i forordningen om midlertidig told, nemlig at antidumpingtolden ikke vil få væsentlig indvirkning på forbrugerne, hermed.
In the absence of any reaction from consumer associations after the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties, the conclusion reached in recital 191 of the provisional Regulation that anti-dumping duties should have no material impact on consumers is confirmed.
På baggrund af tallene i forordningen om midlertidig told påstod en part, at EF-produktionen alene ikke ville være tilstrækkelig til at efterkomme efterspørgslen efter stearinlys i Fællesskabet.
One party claimed that, on the basis of the figures provided in the provisional Regulation, the Community production alone would not meet the demand for candles in the Community.
