I den forbindelse bemærkes det, at skønt det kan fastslås, at både fællesskabsproducenter og eksporterende producenter i USA anvender mange forskellige blandinger på grundlag af forskellige råmaterialer, kan fordelingen af råmaterialer i blandingerne variere betydeligt fra producent til producent og selv fra kunde til kunde hos den samme producent.
In this regard it is noted that, whilst it is true that both Community producers and US exporting producers use a variety of blends based on different feedstock, the repartition of feedstock in the blends may differ significantly from producer to producer and even from customer to customer of the same producer.
Undersøgelsen har nemlig vist, at det kun var i meget få tilfælde, at der var en nøje overensstemmelse imellem de blandinger, der blev solgt af EF-producenterne i stikprøven, og dem, der blev solgt af eksporterende producenter i stikprøven på EF-markedet. For at gøre det muligt at inddrage de forskellige varetyper af biodiesel i beregningerne af underbud blev det derfor betragtet som nødvendigt at foretage justeringen for forskelle i råmaterialer.
Indeed, the investigation has shown that a precise matching in the blends sold by the sampled Community producers and those sold by sampled exporting producers on the Community market was met in very few occasions Therefore, in order to allow for undercutting calculations to take into account the different product types of biodiesel, it was considered indeed necessary to make the adjustment for differences in feedstock.
Visse eksporterende producenter hævdede, at de priser, som blev benyttet til beregninger af skadesmargenen, var cif-priserne, Fællesskabets grænse, snarere end salgspriserne til den første ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunde.
Certain exporting producers claimed that the prices used for the injury margin calculations were the CIF Community frontier prices rather than the resale prices to the first unrelated customer.
De hævdede, at disse beregninger skal rettes, så de tager højde for værdien og mængden af salget til den første ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunde.
They claimed that these calculations have to be corrected in order to take into account the value and quantities of sales to the first unrelated customer.
Denne påstand blev fundet relevant for to eksporterende producenters vedkommende, og beregningerne af skade blev rettet i overensstemmelse hermed.
This claim was found to be relevant for two exporting producers and the injury calculations were corrected accordingly.
Ud fra ovenstående lå den gennemsnitlige underbudsmargen i UP, udtrykt i procent af EF-erhvervsgrenens vejede gennemsnitlige priser ab fabrik, på mellem 18,9 % og 31,9 % og ikke på mellem 18,9 % og 33,0 % som fastslået i den midlertidige fase.
On the basis of the above, the average price undercutting margin in the IP, expressed as a percentage of the Community industry’s weighted average ex-work prices, was found to range from 18,9 % to 31,9 %, instead of a range from 18,9 % to 33,0 % at provisional stage.
Som nævnt i betragtning 209 til 212 i forordningen om midlertidig told blev det konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 5.
As mentioned in recitals (209) to (212) of the provisional Regulation, it was found that the Community industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation.
Den foreløbige analyse viste nemlig, at EF-erhvervsgrenens resultater forbedredes, for så vidt angår visse mængdeindikatorer, men at de fleste indikatorer for EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation forværredes drastisk i den betragtede periode.
Indeed, the provisional analysis showed that the performance of the Community industry improved as regards some volume indicators, but that most of the indicators related to the financial situation of the Community industry significantly deteriorated during the period considered.
På trods af EF-erhvervsgrenens evne til at rejse kapital til investeringer dalede investeringsafkastet drastisk i UP, og rentabiliteten dalede markant i den betragtede periode.
Notwithstanding the Community industry’s ability to raise capital for investments, return on investments declined dramatically during the IP and profitability declined significantly over the period considered.
En interesseret part hævdede, at den analyse der blev foretaget i betragtning 195 i forordningen om midlertidig told vedrørende EF-erhvervsgrenens vækst var ukorrekt.
One interested party claimed that the analysis made in recital (195) of the provisional Regulation regarding the growth of the Community industry was incorrect.
Denne part fremførte navnlig det argument, at det fremgik af forordningen om midlertidig told, at den store efterspørgsel efter biodiesel på EF-markedet forventedes at føre til en lignende vækst i EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandele, hvorimod der ikke er nogen direkte sammenhæng imellem voksende efterspørgsel og markedsandel.
In particular, this party argued that the provisional Regulation suggested that the strong increase in demand for biodiesel in the Community market was supposed to lead to a comparable increase in the market shares of the Community industry, while there is no direct correlation between the increase in demand and market share.
Den samme part fremførte endvidere det argument, at de skadesindikatorer, som blev nævnt i samme betragtning 195 i forordningen om midlertidig told, nemlig produktion, udnyttelse af produktionskapaciteten, produktivitet, salg, investeringspolitik og investeringsafkast ikke kan betragtes som værende påvirket i betydelig grad.
The same party further argued that the injury factors mentioned in the same recital (195) of the provisional Regulation, namely production, utilisation of production capacity, productivity, sales, investment policy, return on investments, cannot be considered as severely affected.
Det argument, at der ikke er sammenhæng imellem efterspørgsel og markedsandel accepteres.
The argument regarding the de-correlation between demand and market share is accepted.
Det kan imidlertid konstateres, at mellem 2006 og UP opnåede EF-producenterne i stikprøven en forøgelse af markedsandelen med en faktor på 1,2, mens den subsidierede import i samme periode opnåede en markedsandel på 17 gange det tidligere niveau.
However, it remains that between 2006 and the IP, the market share of the sampled Community producers was multiplied by 1,2 while during the same time, the market share of subsidised imports was multiplied by around 17.
Denne forholdsvis store vækst i markedsandel for importen fra USA skyldes meget lavere salgspriser på denne import fra USA, jf. tabel 5 og betragtning 118 ovenfor.
This comparatively strong increase in market share for US imports is the result of much lower sales prices for these US imports as shown in table 5 and recital (118) above.
For så vidt angår påstanden vedrørende den samlede vurdering af alle skadesfaktorer, anerkendes det, at ikke alle disse faktorer blev påvirket i negativ retning i den betragtede periode.
Regarding the claim about the global assessment of all injury factors, it is acknowledged that not all these factors were deteriorating during the period considered.
Det fastslås imidlertid, at faktorerne vedrørende EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation blev alvorligt påvirket, nemlig rentabiliteten og investeringsafkastet og i mindre grad produktiviteten.
However, it is stated that factors relating to financial situation of the Community industry were indeed severely affected, namely the profitability and the return on investment and to a lesser extent productivity was affected.
Dette skyldes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen måtte tilpasse sig konkurrencen fra den subsidierede import fra USA, som bestemte priserne, og valgte at fastholde sin tilstedeværelse på markedet på bekostning af sin rentabilitet snarere end at fastholde sin rentabilitet og miste markedsandele.
This stems from the fact that the Community industry had to adapt to the competition of price-setting subsidised US imports, and chose to maintain their presence on the market to the detriment of their profitability, rather than preserving their profitability but losing market shares.
Visse interesserede parter og den amerikanske regering hævdede, at niveauerne for rentabiliteten og investeringsafkastet for EF-producenterne i stikprøven stadig var gode i 2007 og i løbet af UP i absolut værdi til trods for faldet i forhold til de foregående år.
Certain interested parties and the USG claimed that the levels of profitability and return on investment for the sampled EU producers are still good in 2007 and during the IP, in absolute value, in spite of the strong decrease compared to the previous years.
De fremfører det argument, at de niveauer for rentabiliteten og investeringsafkastet, som var blevet opnået fra 2004 til 2006, ikke var bæredygtige, og at EU's biodieselindustri som alle nystartede industriforetagender oplevede et normalt forløb med økonomiske op- og nedture i den betragtede periode.
They argue that the levels of profitability and return on investment achieved from 2004 to 2006 were not sustainable and that the EU biodiesel industry, as all nascent industries, experienced a normal ‘boom and bust’ phenomenon during the period considered.
I den forbindelse bør det erindres, at nogle amerikanske virksomheder i stikprøven opnåede en meget højere rentabilitet på over 30 % under lignende omstændigheder med et marked i udvikling i den betragtede periode.
In this regard, it is recalled that some US sampled companies achieved much higher profitability, exceeding 30 %, in the similar context of a developing market during the period considered.
Det må også konstateres, at det fald i rentabilitet og investeringsafkast, som EF-erhvervsgrenen var ude for, var meget barsk, eftersom det fandt sted fra 2006 til 2007 og er nøje sammenfaldende med den voksende import af biodiesel fra USA.
It is also stated that the decrease of profitability and return on investment experienced by the Community industry was very brutal since it occurred from 2006 to 2007, and coincides exactly with the surge of U.S. imports of biodiesel.
En række EF-producenter hævdede, at situationen for EF-virksomheder uden for stikprøven skulle inddrages i skadesvurderingen, navnlig i lyset af de talrige tilfælde af indskrænkninger, lukninger og udsættelse af nye projekter, som disse virksomheder var ude for i den betragtede periode.
Several Community producers claimed that the situation of non-sampled Community companies should be fully taken into account in the injury assessment, in particular in the light of the numerous cases of downsizing, closures or postponement of new projects that were identified among these companies during the period considered.
På den anden side hævdede en interesseret part, at henvisningen i forordningen om midlertidig told til EF-producenter uden for stikprøven er irrelevant, eftersom de ikke-efterprøvede oplysninger fra producenter uden for stikprøven ikke kan anvendes til at påvise skade.
On the other hand, one interested party claimed that the reference made in the provisional Regulation to producers in the Community not included in the sample is irrelevant, as the unverified data from non-sampled producers cannot be used for the demonstration of injury.
Denne part hævder endvidere, at det fremgår af offentligt tilgængelige oplysninger, at nogle af disse producenter uden for stikprøven er rentable.
This party further insists on public data showing that some of these non-sampled producers are profitable.
For så vidt angår ovenstående to påstande, mindes der om, at der i betragtning 205 til 208 i forordningen om midlertidig told henvises til, at oplysninger om situationen for EF-producenter, der ikke indgår i stikprøven, styrker konklusionerne vedrørende skade, uden at beregningerne af skadesindikatorer og skadesmargen, hvortil der faktisk blev anvendt efterprøvede oplysninger, anfægtes.
Regarding the two claims above, it is recalled that the provisional Regulation in its recitals (205) to (208) refers to the situation of the non-sampled producers in the Community as a supplementary indication of injury, without impacting the calculations of the injury indicators and injury margin for which verified information was actually used.
Derfor blev denne parts påstand afvist.
Therefore the claim of this party was rejected.
På den anden side er det i mangel af tilgængelige efterprøvede statistiske eller individuelle oplysninger vedrørende situationen for alle EU-producenter, der ikke indgik i stikprøven, ikke muligt endeligt at fastslå noget præcist for EF-producenterne som helhed, som foreslået af EF-producenterne.
On the other hand, in the absence of available verified statistics or individual information regarding the situation of all non-sampled EU producers, it is not possible to make any accurate determination for the Community producers as a whole as suggested by the Community producers.
Denne påstand blev derfor også afvist.
This claim was therefore also rejected.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger til de foreløbige konklusioner vedrørende EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation, bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 188 til 194 og 196 til 208 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 (188) to (194) and (196) to (208) of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Det bekræftes endvidere, at EF-erhvervsgrenen led væsentlig skade, jf. konklusionerne i betragtning 209 til 212 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
The conclusion that the Community industry suffered material injury, as set out in recitals (209) to (212) of the provisional Regulation, is also confirmed.
Den subsidierede imports følgevirkninger
Effect of the subsidised imports
Der mindes om, at mængden af subsidieret import fra USA voksede betydeligt i løbet af den analyserede periode.
It is recalled that the subsidised import volumes from the USA increased significantly during the period analysed.
Der var også et klart sammenfald i tid mellem den voksende subsidierede import og forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation.
There was also a clear coincidence in time between the surge of subsidised imports and the deterioration of the economic situation of the Community industry.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var ikke i stand til at fastsætte sine priser i overensstemmelse med markedsvilkårene og omkostningsstigningerne, da dens priser i UP blev underbudt af den subsidierede import.
That industry was not able to set its prices in line with market conditions and the cost increases, as its prices were undercut during the IP by the subsidised imports.
Det bekræftes derfor, at den voksende subsidierede lavprisimport fra USA havde en betydelig negativ indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i løbet af UP.
It is therefore confirmed that the surge of low-priced subsidised imports from the USA had a considerable negative impact on the economic situation of the Community industry during the IP.
Da der ikke blev fremsat bemærkninger, som ville kunne berettige en ændring i de foreløbige konklusioner, bekræftes det, at importen fra andre tredjelande kun i ubetydeligt omfang kan have bidraget til den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In the absence of any comments that would justify a change in the provisional findings it is confirmed that imports from other third countries cannot have made more than negligible contribution to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
En interesseret part hævdede, at selv det ubetydelige fald på 0,5 % i efterspørgslen mellem 2007 og UP havde medført skade for EF-erhvervsgrenen, og påstod, at en hypotetisk stigning i efterspørgslen på 10 % ville have medført en yderligere salgsmængde på 205733, hvis EF-erhvervsgrenen havde bibeholdt den markedsandel på 29,8 %, som blev konstateret for UP.
One interested party claimed that the contraction in demand between 2007 and the IP even being negligible (0,5 %) would nevertheless have caused injury to the Community industry by alleging that an hypothetical increase of 10 % in demand would have yielded an additional volume of sales of 205733 tonnes if the Community industry would have maintained the same market share of 29,8 % that was recorded during the IP.
I den forbindelse bør det bemærkes, at denne parts påstande byggede på brede og udokumenterede antagelser.
In this respect it is noted that the claims made by this party were based on broad and unsubstantiated assumptions.
En interesseret part genfremsatte sin påstand om, at genindførelsen af energiskat i Tyskland har haft en negativ indvirkning på den økonomiske situation for de EF-producenter, der leverer til Tyskland, eftersom efterspørgslen efter B100 på mindst 1,5 mio. ton ville være truet som følge af disse foranstaltninger.
One interested party reiterated its claim that the reintroduction of energy tax in Germany would have negatively influenced the economic situation of Community producers supplying that market as because of these measures the biodiesel demand for B100 representing at least 1,5 million tonnes would have collapsed.
Denne hævdede endvidere som reaktion på konklusionerne i undersøgelsen, jf. betragtning 225 i forordningen om midlertidig told, at selv om indførelsen af kravet om blanding på 4,4 % for diesel, der blev bragt i omsætning på det tyske marked til transportformål (B5), havde kompenseret for den påståede nedgang i salget af B100, ville prisniveauet for B100 være forskelligt fra prisniveauet for biodiesel til B5-blandingerne.
It further claimed, in response to the findings of the investigation set in recital (225) of the provisional Regulation, that even if the introduction of a blending requirement of 4,4 % for the diesel placed in the German market for transport purposes (B5) would have compensated the alleged sales losses of B100, the prices levels of B100 would be different from those of biodiesel intended for the B5 blends.
Denne påstod, at B100 blev produceret udelukkende af dyrere råmateriale i form af rapsfrø, mens biodiesel B5 blev produceret af forskellige slags råmaterialer med en negativ indvirkning på EF-producenternes gennemsnitspris til følge.
It alleged that B100 was produced only from the more expensive rapeseed feedstock, whereas biodiesel B5 from a variety of feedstock, thus having a negative influence on the average price of the Community producers.
I den forbindelse mindes der om, at stik imod denne parts påstande har undersøgelsen vist, at salgsmængden for de EF-producenter i stikprøven, som leverer til det tyske marked, voksede med 68 % mellem 2006 og UP, hvilket bekræfter de foreløbige konklusioner om, at der blev kompenseret for tabet på salget af B100 ved det obligatoriske krav om blanding.
In this respect it is recalled that, contrary to the allegations made by this party, the investigation has shown that the sales volumes of the sampled Community producers supplying the German market rose by 68 % between 2006 and the IP, which would indeed confirm the provisional finding that any losses on B100 sales were compensated by the mandatory blending requirement.
Det bemærkes endvidere, at indførelsen af en skat på 0,09 EUR pr. liter biodiesel fra 1. august 2006 ikke førte til, at markedet kollapsede som påstået af denne part, men at salget af B100 faktisk dalede betydeligt i sidste kvartal af UP, da denne skat blev hævet til 0,15 EUR pr. liter fra 1. januar 2008.
It is further noted that the introduction of the Euro 0,09 per litre of biodiesel as of 1 August 2006 did not lead to the collapse of the market as alleged by this party, but indeed B100 sales were reduced significantly in the last quarter of the IP when this tax was further increased to Euro 0,15 per litre as of 1 January 2008.
For så vidt angår virkningen på priserne, var denne parts påstande ikke begrundede, da den biodiesel, der blev anvendt til begge typer varer skulle opfylde de samme standarder, hvilket betyder, at der kan bruges samme blanding af råmaterialer i begge biodieselbrændstoffer, og at der ikke kan påvises nogen prisforskel på de to typer biodiesel.
Regarding the effect on prices, the allegations made by this party were unfounded as the biodiesel used for both types of products had to conform with the same standards which means that in both biodiesel fuels the same mix of feedstock could be used which means that there is no proven price differentiation between the two types of biodiesel.
På grundlag af ovenstående blev påstanden afvist.
On the basis of the above the claim was rejected.
Da der ikke er fremsat andre bemærkninger vedrørende de politiske beslutninger, bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 226 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
In the absence of any other comments concerning the public policy decisions recital (226) of the provisional Regulation is confirmed.
En interesseret part accepterede, at kapacitetsudnyttelsesgraden forblev relativt høj for EF-producenterne i stikprøven, men hævdede, at overkapaciteten hos EF-producenterne i stikprøven stadig skyldes skade, fordi den fører til højere faste omkostninger, som har en negativ indvirkning på rentabiliteten.
One interested party, whilst accepting that capacity utilisation rates remained fairly high for the sampled Community producers, claimed that the overcapacity of the sampled Community producers would still be a cause of injury in view of the fact that it would result in higher fixed costs that would have a negative effect on profitability.
Denne hævdede endvidere, at nævnte producenters øgede nettoværdi ville have ført til øgede faste omkostninger, eftersom afskrivningsomkostninger og finansielle omkostninger ville være højere.
It further claimed that the increase in the net asset value of the said producers would have resulted in fixed cost increases as depreciation and financial costs would have been higher.
I den forbindelse mindes der om, at det ud fra en detaljeret analyse af fordelingen af variable og faste omkostninger i EF-erhvervsgrenens omkostningsstruktur blev slået fast, at de faste omkostningers andel kun udgjorde 6 % af de samlede omkostninger (betragtning 228 i forordningen om midlertidig told).
In this regard it is recalled that from detailed analysis of the repartition of variable and fixed costs in the cost structure of the Community industry it was established that the share of fixed costs represented only 6 % of overall costs (recital 228 of the provisional Regulation).
Det bør endvidere bemærkes, at denne analyse viste ubetydelige udsving i denne procentandel i den analyserede periode.
In addition, it should be noted that this analysis showed insignificant fluctuations of this percentage over the period analysed.
For så vidt angår påstanden vedrørende indvirkningen på rentabiliteten af nettoværdiforøgelsen, bør det bemærkes, at omkostningsforøgelsen i absolutte tal ikke automatisk fører til en forøgelse i enhedsproduktionsomkostningen, da sidstnævnte afhænger af produktionsmængden, der som vist i tabel 4 i forordningen om midlertidig told voksede støt i den analyserede periode.
With regard to the claim concerning the effect on profitability caused by the increase in the net asset value, it should be noted that the increase in costs in absolute terms, does not automatically lead to an increase in the unit production cost as the latter depends on the volume of output which as shown in Table 4 of the provisional Regulation increased steadily over the period analysed.
Derfor blev højere faste omkostninger i absolutte tal tilskrevet højere produktionsmængde, hvilket førte til ovennævnte fordeling af de faste omkostninger i forhold til de samlede omkostninger.
Therefore higher fixed costs in absolute terms were attributed to higher output volume resulting in the above mentioned repartition of fixed costs in relation to overall costs.
På det grundlag måtte denne interesserede parts påstande afvises.
On this basis the claims made by this interested party had to be rejected.
