Undersøgelsen konkluderede derfor, at råvarepriserne i sig selv ikke var årsagen til skaden, fordi det, hvis der ikke fandtes dumpingimport, ville have været muligt for EF-erhvervsgrenen at overføre disse omkostningsstigninger — eller i det mindste en væsentlig del af dem — på køberne.
Therefore the investigation concluded that raw material prices in themselves were not a cause of injury because in the absence of dumped imports it would have been possible for the Community industry to pass on these cost increases — or at least a substantial part of them — to its customers.
Kommissionen understreger desuden, at disse prisstigninger på råvarer ikke er begrænset til Fællesskabet, og deres omfang og udvikling kunne afhængigt af råvarernes karakter forventes at være det samme i de berørte lande.
In addition, it is underlined that such input cost increases are not limited to the Community and that given the nature of the inputs, their level and development would be expected to be similar in the countries concerned.
EF-erhvervsgrenens konkurrenceevne og kapacitetsudnyttelse
Competitiveness and capacity utilisation of the Community industry
Kommissionen undersøgte, om den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt, skyldtes EF-erhvervsgrenens manglende konkurrenceevne og/eller lav kapacitetsudnyttelse.
It was examined whether the injury suffered by the Community industry resulted from a lack of competitiveness by the Community industry and/or by low capacity utilisation rates.
Derfor blev EF-erhvervsgrenens omkostningsstruktur sammenlignet med de eksporterende producenters.
In order to examine this, the cost structure of the Community industry was compared with that of the exporting producers.
Der blev afdækket forskelle i fremstillingsomkostninger såsom lønninger, energiomkostninger samt omkostninger til miljø og arbejdsmiljø.
Indeed, some differences in manufacturing costs were identified such as wage rates, energy costs, environmental and health and safety costs.
Angående kapacitetsudnyttelse gøres der opmærksom på, at denne indikator ikke bør overvurderes, da EF-erhvervsgrenen kunne fremstille andre varer med samme udstyr.
In respect of capacity utilisation, it is recalled that this indicator should not be overestimated as Community industry was able to produce other products on the same equipment.
Det ville også være mere sandsynligt, at problemer med kapacitetsudnyttelse hænger sammen med EF-erhvervsgrenens tab af markedsandele, der skyldes dumpingimport.
Furthermore, it would be more probable that problems in terms of capacity utilisation would be linked to the loss of market share of Community industry which was caused by dumped imports.
Nogle parter har anført, at de stigende driftsomkostninger har påvirket EF-erhvervsgrenens konkurrenceevne og forvoldt den i ovenstående afsnit 4 beskrevne skade.
Some parties have argued that increasing operating costs have affected the competitiveness of the Community industry and caused the injury described above at section 4.
Det skal her understreges, at disse ekstra driftsomkostninger ikke er store nok til at have kunnet forvolde den omfattende skade, som denne undersøgelse har afdækket.
In this respect it must be underlined that these extra operating costs are not substantial enough to have caused the material injury identified by this investigation.
Det må ikke glemmes, at udgifterne til råvarer og energi udgjorde over 75 % af de samlede omkostninger til produktion af de færdige rør.
It should be remembered that the cost of the raw materials and energy represented more than 75 % of the total cost of production of the finished tubes.
Den potentielle indvirkning af eventuelle stigninger i andre driftsomkostninger kan derfor under alle omstændigheder kun have en indvirkning på 25 % af de samlede produktionsomkostninger.
Therefore the potential impact of any increases in other operating costs could in any event only have an effect on 25 % of the total cost of production.
Sådanne stigninger har været beskedne, så de kan ikke have haft nogen betydelig indvirkning.
Such increases have been modest, so that their impact would not be material.
Undersøgelsen afdækkede ikke en strukturel ineffektivitet, som ville have gjort EF-erhvervsgrenen ukonkurrencedygtig.
During the investigation, no structural inefficiency was detected which would make the Community industry uncompetitive.
Som tabel 11 viser, forbedrede EF-erhvervsgrenen tværtimod sin produktivitet med 17 % i den undersøgte periode.
On the contrary, as stated in table 11, the Community industry improved its productivity by 17 % during the period under consideration.
Undersøgelsen viste desuden, at EU-markedet er meget konkurrencedygtigt, hvilket ikke mindst skyldes det meget store antal virksomheder på markedet.
Furthermore, the investigation revealed that the EU market was very competitive not least as a consequence of the very large number of companies operating on the market.
Ud over de 19 EF-producenter bidrog snesevis af importører fra hele verden til den kraftige konkurrence på EU-markedet.
In addition to the 19 Community producers, dozens of importers from around the world also contributed to the strong competition on the EU market.
Som forklaret i ovenstående betragtninger blev det derfor konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenen generelt er meget konkurrencedygtig, og at eventuel manglende konkurrenceevne ikke er årsag til den skade, som denne erhvervsgren er blevet påført.
Therefore as explained in the recitals above, it was concluded that the Community industry was in general very competitive and that any lack of competitiveness did not cause the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Valutakurssvingninger
Currency fluctuation
Nogle interesserede parter anførte, at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, skyldtes valutakurssvingninger, som havde gjort det attraktivt at importere til EU.
Some interested parties alleged that the injury suffered by the Community industry was caused by currency fluctuations which had the effect of encouraging imports to the EU.
Der erindres om, at undersøgelsen skal afdække, hvorvidt dumpingimporten (udtrykt i priser og mængde) har forvoldt væsentlig skade på EF-erhvervsgrenen, eller om en sådan væsentlig skade skyldes andre faktorer.
It is recalled that the investigation has to examine whether the dumped imports (in terms of prices and volumes) have caused material injury to the Community industry or whether such material injury was due to other factors.
Med hensyn til priser hedder det i denne sammenhæng i grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6, at det er nødvendigt at vise, at prisniveauet på dumpingimporten er årsag til skaden.
In this respect, with regard to prices, Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation states that it is necessary to show that the price level of the dumped imports causes injury.
Derfor henvises der alene til forskellen mellem priser, og der består således ikke noget krav om at analysere de faktorer, der påvirker disse priser.
It therefore merely refers to a difference between price levels, and there is thus no requirement to analyse the factors affecting the level of those prices.
Uanset ovenstående afregnes salg normalt i amerikanske dollars for mange af de eksporterende lande, der indgår i denne undersøgelse.
Notwithstanding the above for many of the exporting countries concerned by this investigation sales are usually made in USD.
Svingningerne i kursen mellem den amerikanske dollar og euroen i den undersøgte periode var imidlertid kun 6 %.
However the fluctuation of the USD to the EUR over the period under consideration was limited to only 6 %.
Den større nedskrivning af den amerikanske dollar indtraf efter undersøgelsesperiodens udløb.
The more important depreciation of the USD occurred after the end of the IP.
Fra juli 2007 til april 2008 blev dollaren nedskrevet med 16 % sammenlignet med euroen.
From July 2007 to April 2008, the USD depreciated by 16 % compared to the EUR.
Det blev derfor konkluderet, at kurssvingningerne ikke har forvoldt EF-producenterne væsentlig skade.
It was therefore concluded that currency fluctuations have not caused material injury to the Community producers.
Strejker
Strikes
Nogle interesserede parter har anført den generelle påstand (uden at angive navn på virksomhederne eller tidspunkt), at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, var forvoldt af den selv og skyldtes problemer med faglig aktion og strejker i relation til nogle af producenterne i de nye medlemsstater.
Some interested parties made a general allegation (without naming companies or time periods involved) that the injury suffered by Community industry was self-inflicted and resulted from problems with industrial action and strikes relating to some of the producers in the new Member States.
Her skal der erindres om, at der ikke blev fremlagt dokumentation for denne påstand.
In this respect it should be recalled that no substantiated evidence was put forward in support of this claim.
Anklagen vedrørte desuden kun en del af Fællesskabet.
Furthermore, the accusation only related to part of the Community industry.
En lignende skadevoldende udvikling kunne dog konstateres hos producenter i både de gamle og de nye medlemsstater.
However similar injurious trends were found for producers in both the old and the new Member States.
Det kan derfor konkluderes, at selv om nogle EF-producenter blev påvirket af strejker og faglig aktion, ville dette forhold alene ikke have været nok til at bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumping og skade.
It can therefore be concluded that even in the event that some Community industry producers were affected by strikes and industrial action this fact would not have been strong enough to break the causal link between dumping and injury.
Store investeringer
Heavy investments
Der blev fremsat påstand om, at EF-erhvervsgrenens store investeringer havde bidraget til skaden.
It was alleged that heavy investments by the Community industry contributed to the injury suffered.
Som det fremgår af betragtning 264, viste undersøgelsen, at der ikke var foretaget sådanne store investeringer i den undersøgte periode.
As stated at recital 264, the investigation showed that no such heavy investment was made over the period under consideration.
Det skal også erindres, at selv med en veldokumenteret påstand ville nedskrivningens relativt lave andel af de samlede omkostninger under alle omstændigheder have begrænset indvirkningen af en sådan påstand, og det blev derfor konkluderet, at store investeringer ikke har bidraget til den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
It should also be borne in mind that, even if the allegation was substantiated, the relatively low proportion of depreciation in terms of total costs would in any event limit the impact of this allegation, and therefore it was concluded that heavy investments have not contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Konjunktursvingninger i stålindustrien
Cyclical nature of the steel industry
Det blev påstået, at konjunktursvingningerne i stålindustrien bidrog til skaden, og at undersøgelsesperioden faldt på et tidspunkt med lavkonjunktur.
It was alleged that the cyclical nature of the steel industry contributed to the injury suffered i.e. it is alleged that the IP fell at the low point of the cycle.
For det første skal det understreges, at skadevoldende dumping udmærket kan ske på alle tidspunkter i konjunkturforløbet.
First, it is underlined that injurious dumping can very well occur at all points in the economic cycle.
Som det fremgår af forbrugsanalysen i betragtning 231, understøtter undersøgelsen heller ikke dette argument.
In addition, as shown by the analysis of consumption at recital 231, the investigation does not support this argument.
Der var faktisk et stort forbrug i undersøgelsesperioden, der ikke var karakteriseret af lavkonjunktur.
Indeed, consumption in the IP was buoyant and was clearly not at the low point of the cycle.
Det tidsmæssige sammenfald mellem på den ene side den øgede dumpingimport fra de pågældende kumulerede lande, deres øgede markedsandel samt det konstaterede underbud og på den anden side den forringede situation for EF-erhvervsgrenen fører til den konklusion, at dumpingimporten er skyld i den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsindustrien er blevet påført.
The coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the increase of dumped imports from the cumulated countries, their increase in market share, the undercutting and underselling found, and on the other hand, the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry leads to the conclusion that the dumped imports are a cause of the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Efter at have analyseret de andre kendte, iøjnefaldende faktorer sammen med de interesserede parters påstande som beskrevet i betragtning 285 ff. kan det konkluderes, at disse ikke er af en sådan karakter, at de bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
After analysing the known, salient other factors together with allegations made by interested parties as detailed in recital 285 and subsequent, it is concluded that they are not such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports from the countries concerned and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
SANDSYNLIGHED FOR FORTSAT ELLER FORNYET DUMPING (UDLØBSUNDERSØGELSE OG FORNYET UNDERSØGELSE VEDRØRENDE TYRKIET)
LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUATION OR RECURRENCE OF INJURY (EXPIRY REVIEW AND TURKEY INTERIM REVIEW)
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 11, stk. 2, blev import fra lande, som er genstand for en undersøgelse, vurderet for at fastslå, om der var sandsynlighed for fortsat eller fornyet dumping.
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, imports from countries currently being reviewed were assessed in order to establish if there was a likelihood of continuation or recurrence of injury.
I vurderingen af den sandsynlige indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenen, hvis de gældende foranstaltninger udløber, blev følgende faktorer taget i betragtning på linje med de ovenfor opsummerede elementer i henseende til sandsynlighed for fortsat eller fornyet dumping.
With regard to the likely effect on the Community industry of the expiry of the measures in force, the following factors were considered in line with the elements summarised above in respect of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping.
Som forklaret ovenfor i betragtning 223 ff. steg forbruget med 9 %, men prognosen for verdensforbruget af den pågældende vare, som kan være underlagt en vis konjunkturbestemt udvikling, forventes ikke at ændre sig væsentligt inden for en overskuelig fremtid.
As explained above in recitals 223 and subsequent, while consumption increased by 9 %, the forecast of world consumption of the product concerned, although potentially subject to a certain cyclical trend, is not expected to change to a major degree in the foreseeable future.
Alternative varer såsom plastrør har ikke kunnet erstatte og dermed reducere forbruget af svejsede rør i større omfang.
Alternative products such as plastic piping have not been able to replace, to a large degree, welded tubes and thus decrease their consumption.
Siden indførelsen af foranstaltningerne er importen fra Ukraine faldet til under minimalgrænsen.
Since the imposition of the measures, imports from Ukraine have fallen to de minimis quantities.
Som nævnt i betragtning 172 og følgende er der klare tegn på, at uden foranstaltninger ville Ukraine igen eksportere store mængder til Fællesskabets marked til dumpingpriser.
However, as mentioned in recitals 172 and subsequent, there are clear indications that in the absence of measures significant imports from Ukraine would re-enter the Community market at dumped prices.
Disse priser vil sandsynligvis også i alvorlig grad underbyde EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, da de efter al sandsynlighed vil afspejle de laveste priser i Fællesskabet.
Such prices would also be likely to undercut significantly those of the Community industry, given the fact that such prices would in all likelihood mirror those set by the lowest bidder in the Community.
Det konkluderes i betragtning 119 og følgende, at Thailand sandsynligvis vil eksportere store mængder til Fællesskabet til dumpingpriser.
Recitals 119 (and subsequent) concluded that significant volumes would in all likelihood be exported from Thailand to the Community at dumped prices.
Disse priser vil sandsynligvis også i alvorlig grad underbyde EF-erhvervsgrenens priser, da de efter al sandsynlighed vil afspejle de laveste priser i Fællesskabet.
These prices would also be likely to undercut significantly those of the Community industry, given the fact that such prices would in all likelihood mirror those set by the lowest bidder in the Community.
I betragtning af ovenstående konklusion om, at der ikke er sandsynlighed for fortsat eller fornyet dumping, er der ikke her behov for yderligere undersøgelser af sandsynligheden for fortsat eller fornyet skade.
Bearing in mind that above it is concluded that there is no likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping, no further analysis is required here on the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of injury.
Med hensyn til skadesspørgsmålene i forbindelse med den fornyede undersøgelse (grundforordningens artikel 11, stk. 3) er der ikke behov for analyse her, for i henhold til konklusionen på den fornyede undersøgelse var der hverken dumping eller sandsynlighed for fornyet dumping fra det pågældende land.
In respect of injury issues relating to the interim review (Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation) no analysis is required here because the review concluded that there was no dumping or likelihood of recurrence of dumping for this country.
KONKLUSION VEDRØRENDE FORTSAT/FORNYET SKADE
CONCLUSION ON THE CONTINUATION/RECURRENCE OF INJURY
Den sandsynlige følge af en ophævelse af foranstaltningerne ville derfor være en kraftig stigning i importen fra både Ukraine og Thailand til priser, der underbyder EF-erhvervsgrenens.
The likely consequence of the lifting of measures would therefore be a large increase in imports from both Ukraine and Thailand at prices which undercut those of the Community industry.
En sådan import ville efter al sandsynligvis få en betydelig, skadevoldende indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Such imports would most likely have significant detrimental effects on the Community industry.
Under disse omstændigheder ville EF-erhvervsgrenen enten også skulle sætte sine priser ned for at bevare sin markedsandel eller bibeholde salgspriserne på det nuværende niveau og i stedet miste kunder og i sidste instans omsætning.
Under such circumstances the Community industry would either have to follow the decrease in prices in order to maintain market share, or maintain sales prices at current levels and instead lose customers and eventually sales.
I det første tilfælde ville EF-erhvervsgrenen arbejde med tab, og i sidstnævnte ville tabet af omsætning i sidste instans føre til øgede omkostninger efterfulgt af tab.
In the former case, Community industry would have to operate at a loss and in the latter case the loss of sales as such would eventually lead to increased costs followed by losses.
Desuden har EF-erhvervsgrenen i mange år lidt under følgerne af dumpingimport og befinder sig nu i en vanskelig økonomisk situation.
Moreover, the Community industry has suffered the effects of dumped imports for many years and is currently in a precarious economic situation.
Hvis denne skadevoldende situation fortsætter/indtræffer på ny, er selve erhvervsgrenens eksistens i fare.
If this injurious situation continues/recurs the very existence of this industry would be jeopardized.
Undersøgelsen har derfor vist, at for så vidt angår importen fra både Ukraine og Thailand, er der stor sandsynlighed for fortsat eller fornyet skade på EF-erhvervsgrenen, som i mange år har lidt under følgerne af den skadevoldende dumping.
Therefore the investigation has revealed that there is, for imports from both Ukraine and Thailand, a clear likelihood of recurrence and continuation of injury to a Community industry that has been suffering the consequences of injurious dumping for many years.
For så vidt angår importen fra Tyrkiet forventes der hverken fortsat eller fornyet skadevoldende dumping.
In respect of imports from Turkey, injurious dumping is not expected to continue or recur.
I medfør af grundforordningens artikel 21 er det blevet undersøgt, om der trods konklusionerne vedrørende dumping, skade og årsagssammenhæng findes tvingende årsager, der ville føre til den konklusion, at det ikke er i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre antidumpingforanstaltninger mod import fra de berørte lande eller at udvide de gældende foranstaltninger.
Pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it has been examined whether despite the conclusions on dumping, injury and causal link, compelling reasons exist that would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Community interest to impose anti-dumping measures on imports from the countries concerned or to extend the measures in force.
Kommissionen anmodede alle kendte interesserede parter om oplysninger for at vurdere den sandsynlige indvirkning af indførelsen eller den manglende indførelse af foranstaltninger og af forlængelsen eller udløbet af de gældende foranstaltninger.
In order to assess the likely impact of the imposition or non-imposition of measures and of the extension or expiry of the measures in force, the Commission requested information from all known interested parties.
På dette grundlag udsendte Kommissionen spørgeskemaer til 116 importører, grossister og brugere.
On this basis, the Commission sent questionnaires to 116 importers, stockists and users.
Ingen andre interesserede parter gav sig til kende inden for fristerne.
No other interested party made itself known within the deadlines.
32 af de kontaktede, ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører reagerede på henvendelsen.
Thirty-two of the contacted unrelated importers replied.
Heraf erklærede 16, at de ikke importerede fra de pågældende lande, og tre, at de ikke længere var aktive på dette forretningsområde.
Out of them, 16 declared that they were not importing from the concerned countries and three that they are no longer active in this area of business.
Af de resterende 13 ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører fremsendte kun to et fuldstændigt udfyldt spørgeskema.
Of the remaining 13 unrelated importers only two submitted a complete questionnaire response.
Det var derfor ikke nødvendigt at anvende stikprøver.
Therefore, it was not necessary to apply sampling.
Der erindres om, at det blev konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt væsentlig skade som anført i betragtning 250 til 274.
It is recalled that it was concluded that the Community industry has suffered material injury, as set out in recitals 250 to 274.
Det er derfor sandsynligt, at indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger vil gøre det muligt for EF-erhvervsgrenen at øge sit salg, sin markedsandel og sine salgspriser.
The imposition of anti-dumping measures is likely to allow the Community Industry to increase its sales, its market share and its sales prices.
EF-erhvervsgrenen ville så kunne sikre det samme rentabilitetsniveau, som hvis der ikke blev foretaget dumpingimport, og kunne udnytte fordelen ved vækst på Fællesskabets marked. Dette vil tilskynde til investeringer og forbedre erhvervsgrenens konkurrencedygtighed generelt.
The Community industry would then be able to reach the levels of profitability which it would achieve in the absence of dumped imports, and to take advantage of growth in the Community market: this would encourage investments and the overall competitiveness of the industry.
Videreføres de gældende foranstaltninger, vil EF-erhvervsgrenen fortsat kunne arbejde inden for rammerne af fair konkurrence i forhold til import med oprindelse i Thailand og Ukraine.
The continuation of the measures in force will allow the Community Industry to continue operating in the framework of fair competition vis-à-vis imports originating from Thailand and the Ukraine.
