Antallet af maskiner til koldsmedning blev også undersøgt, og der blev taget hensyn til den gennemsnitlige tid, der var nødvendig til at tilpasse maskinerne til nye produktionsserier (som kan variere mellem 2 og 12 timer), i forbindelse med beregningen af den disponible kapacitet.
The number of cold forging machines available has been verified, and the average time needed to adapt the tooling to new production batches (which can range between 2 and 12 hours) has been taken into account in the calculation of the capacity available.
Produktions- og produktionskapacitetsindikatorerne har af følgende årsager udviklet sig således for EF-erhvervsgrenen:
The evolution of production and capacity indicators of the Community industry can be explained as follows:
EF-erhvervsgrenen opretholdt eller søgte at forbedre salget på markedssegmenter for varer af høj kvalitet (specielle varer), som har en højere enhedspris, men samtidig produceres i mindre mængder.
The Community industry maintained or tried to improve its presence into the market segments of higher quality product (special products), which command a higher unit price, but are also produced in smaller quantities.
EF-erhvervsgrenen måtte derfor opgradere sit udstyr og tilpasse produktionsmønstrene for at kunne producere disse mere specialiserede varetyper, hvilket forklarer det lette fald i den samlede kapacitet og den store procentdel af uudnyttet kapacitet, som tidligere blev anvendt til produktion af standardtyper.
The Community industry had therefore to upgrade their equipment and adapt production patterns in order to produce these more specialised product types, which explains the slight increase in overall capacity and also the high percentage of idle capacity, previously dedicated to the production of standard types.
En række ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører i Fællesskabet påstod desuden, at selv om EF-producenterne havde produceret de samme mængder, som blev importeret fra Kina i den betragtede periode, ville virkningen for kapacitetsudnyttelsen have været meget lille og ville være blevet under 60 %.
Community unrelated importers also argued that, had the Community producers additionally produced the equivalent quantities that were imported from the PRC in the period considered, the impact upon capacity utilisation would have been very small and it would have remained below 60 %.
Det skal i den forbindelse bemærkes, at importmængderne fra Kina i den betragtede periode var betydelige, da de udgjorde ca. 26,9 % af den samlede produktion i Fællesskabet i 2006.
In this respect, it should be noted that the quantities imported from the PRC during the period considered are significant as they represent about 26,9 % of the total Community production in 2006.
Den positive virkning for kapacitetsudnyttelsen ville derfor have været større end påstået, hvis disse mængder var blevet produceret i Fællesskabet, hvor der var uudnyttet kapacitet.
Consequently, the positive effect on capacity utilisation would have been more significant than alleged if these quantities had been produced in the Community, for which the capacity was available.
Efter fremlæggelsen af de endelige resultater fremførte en række ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne EF-importører, at hvis de endelige foranstaltninger blev vedtaget, ville dette medføre en mangel på leverancer på fællesskabsmarkedet på over 200000 MT.
Following the definitive disclosure, several Community unrelated importers argued that should the measures be finally adopted, they would lead to a shortage of supply in the Community market, of more than 200000 tonnes.
På grundlag af den uudnyttede kapacitet i UP anslås den faktiske ledige produktionskapacitet i Fællesskabet til over 2,5 mio. MT, dvs. langt over forbruget i Fællesskabet på 2,27 mio. MT.
However, based on the spare capacity levels found in the IP, the actual production capacity available in the Community is estimated to be above 2,5 million tonnes i.e. well in excess of the level of Community consumption of 2,27 million tonnes.
Det blev derfor konstateret, at den ledige uudnyttede produktionskapacitet i Fællesskabet ligger langt over den påståede mangel på 200000 MT, og at den let vil kunne tilfredsstille efterspørgslen efter den pågældende vare.
Therefore, it was found that the spare production capacity available in the Community is well above the alleged shortage of 200000 tonnes and would easily meet the demand for the product concerned.
Nedenstående tal viser størrelsen af EF-erhvervsgrenens lagerbeholdninger ved udgangen af hver periode.

Lagerbeholdningerne faldt med 5 % i den betragtede periode til trods for en stigning på 7 % i produktionen.
Stocks decreased by 5 % during the period considered, despite the 7 % increase in production.
Dette skyldes hovedsagelig den faldende andel af standardvarer i EF-erhvervsgrenens portefølje.
This is mainly related to the decreasing share of standard products in the Community industry's portfolio.
Da produktionen af den samme vare i Fællesskabet i vid udstrækning sker efter ordre, anses lagerbeholdningens størrelse dog ikke for at være en særlig nyttig skadesindikator for denne vare.
However, considering that the production of the like product in the Community is predominantly by order, the level of inventories is not considered to be a very meaningful indicator for this product.

EF-erhvervsgrenens salg steg med 12 % i den betragtede periode og med 21 % i værdi som følge af den stigende andel af specielle varer baseret på kundernes tegninger.
The Community industry's sales volumes increased by 12 % during the period considered and by 21 % in value as a result of the increasing share of special products based on customers' drawings.
Samtidig blev det konstateret, at de gennemsnitlige salgspriser til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder på fællesskabsmarkedet steg i den betragtede periode.
At the same time, it was found that average sales prices to unrelated buyers in the Community market increased during the period considered.
Denne prisstigning skal ses i lyset af den markante stigning i råmaterialepriserne og af, at EF-erhvervsgrenen koncentrerede sin indsats på det højere markedssegment (specielle varer), som var mindre påvirket af dumpingimporten.
This price increase should be seen in the light of the significant increase in raw material prices and the fact that the Community industry has concentrated its efforts on the higher segment of the market (special products) which was less affected by the dumped imports.
Varer af høj kvalitet, som opfylder kundernes særlige krav, er generelt dyrere, målt i salgspris pr. enhed, end standardvarer.
High-quality products, meeting specific needs from the customers, as opposed to standard products, are generally more expensive on a unit-selling price basis.
Stigningen i salgspriserne afspejler således både stigningen i råmaterialeomkostningerne og ændringerne i varesortimentet i EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Hence, the increase in sales prices reflects both the increase in raw material costs but also the changes in the product range produced by the Community industry.
Efter en stigning mellem 2003 og 2004 faldt EF-producenternes salgsmængder med 1 %.
After an increase between 2003 and 2004, the volume of sales of the Community producers decreased by 1 %.
Samtidig steg forbruget i Fællesskabet med 29 %, hvilket betyder, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke var i stand til at drage fordel af det øgede forbrug i Fællesskabet, og at EF-producenternes markedsandel dermed faldt med 24 % på under tre år.
At the same time, Community consumption increased by 29 %, meaning that the Community industry was unable to take advantage of the increase in Community consumption and thus that the market share of the Community producers declined by 24 % in less than three years.
Faldet i EF-producenternes markedsandel ville sandsynligvis være endnu større, hvis det blev beregnet for hele den betragtede periode (dvs. inkl. 2003).
In all likelihood the drop in the Community producers' market share, if calculated for the whole period considered (i.e. including 2003), would be even higher.
Det blev derfor konstateret, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke kunne drage fordel af væksten på markedet som følge af en stigning i forbruget i Fællesskabet, da dumpingimporten fra Kina forhindrede EF-producenterne i at udnytte muligheden for fortsat at producere standardvarer i stordrift.
It was thus found that the Community industry could not benefit from the growth of the market resulting from the increase in Community consumption as dumped imports from the PRC deprived Community producers of the opportunity to continue production of standard products on a larger scale.

EF-erhvervsgrenens fortjeneste fra salget af den samme vare svingede i hele den betragtede periode og udviste kun moderat positive niveauer.
The levels of profits from the sale of the like product by the Community industry fluctuated throughout the period considered while only reaching moderately positive levels.
Rentabiliteten var på sit laveste i 2003 (2,1 %) men er dog siden steget, hvilket dels skyldes EF-erhvervsgrenens indsats for at reducere produktionsomkostningerne og øge produktiviteten, og dels at den koncentrerede sin indsats på at levere varer af høj kvalitet, som skaber større indtægter end standardvarer, da varer af høj kvalitet er mindre påvirkede af dumpingimporten fra Kina end standardvarerne.
Profitability was at its lowest level in 2003 (2,1 %) but it has since improved, which is linked partly to the efforts of the Community industry to reduce manufacturing costs and increase productivity and the fact that they concentrated their efforts on the supply of high quality products generating higher revenues than standard products, the former being less affected by dumped imports from the PRC than the latter.
Det skal bemærkes, at den samlede positive rentabilitet i den betragtede periode faldt sammen med et marked i udvikling, da den økonomiske udvikling befandt sig i en ekspansionsfase i 2004 og begyndelsen af 2008, og rentabiliteten vil sandsynligvis forværres markant, når disse tendenser vender.
It should be noted that the overall positive profitability during the period under consideration coincided with an expanding market during an expansion phase of the economic cycle which took place during 2004 and beginning of 2008, and it is likely to deteriorate significantly when these trends are reversed.
Skruer er en udbredt industrivare, og varen er derfor meget følsom over for udsving i den generelle økonomiske situation og i den industrielle produktion især.
Indeed, as a widespread industrial product, fasteners are highly sensitive to the variations of the general economic situation and the industrial production in particular.
Udviklingen i likviditeten fra salg i Fællesskabet af den samme vare steg med 33 % i perioden indtil 2005, men faldt i UP næsten til det oprindelige niveau.
The evolution of the cash flow from the sales in the Community of the like product increased by 33 % up to 2005, but returned in the IP to close to its initial level.
Produktionen af skruer er forholdsvis kapitalkrævende.
The production of fasteners is relatively capital intensive.
EF-erhvervsgrenen har påstået, at produktionen skal optimeres for at imødekomme et stadig mere krævende marked.
The Community industry has argued that the optimisation of production is needed to respond to a more and more challenging market environment.
For at kunne være fleksibel har EF-erhvervsgrenen fortsat foretaget forholdsvis store investeringer, som dog faldt i et vist omfang i den betragtede periode, men stadig ligger på et betydeligt niveau.
In order to achieve this flexibility, the Community industry has maintained relatively high levels of investment, which has declined somewhat during the period considered but still remains at a significant level.
Investeringer blev navnlig foretaget med henblik på indkøb af nye maskiner for at optimere produktionen.
This investment was mainly for the purchase of new machinery to optimise production.
Samlede investeringer i den betragtede periode (1000 EUR)
Total investments in the PC (1000 EUR)
I den betragtede periode steg investeringsafkastet, målt i procent af nettosalget, med 7 procentpoint mellem 2003 og UP.
During the period considered, the return on investment, expressed as a percentage of net sales, increased by seven percentage points between 2003 and the IP.
Dette skyldtes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen søgte at maksimere brugen af den eksisterende produktionskapacitet uden af foretage større investeringer.
This was explained by the fact that the Community industry has tried to maximise the use of its existing production capacities without making large scale investments.
Som det fremkom under undersøgelsen, udviklede samtlige producenter i stikprøven deres egne maskiner med henblik på at omstille deres produktionsfaciliteter til den nye kundekreds (specielle varer baseret på kundernes tegninger).
As shown during the investigation, all sampled producers have developed their internal tooling resources so as to adapt their production facilities to their new customer base (special products based on customers' drawings).
Der blev ikke konstateret dokumentation for en nedsat eller forbedret evne til at rejse kapital i den betragtede periode.
No evidence was found in respect of a reduced or increased ability to raise capital over the period considered.
Produktivitet (MT/ansat)
Productivity (tonnes/employee)
EF-erhvervsgrenen øgede beskæftigelsen mellem 2003 og UP.
The Community industry increased its number of employees between 2003 and the IP.
Dette skete som følge af en indsats for at opretholde produktionsmængden og produktionen af mere diversificerede komplekse varer, der kræver konstant fleksibilitet i bearbejdningen og fleksible maskiner.
This was a result of both an effort to maintain production volume and production of more diversified complex products requiring a constant flexibility of tooling and machineries.
Resultatet af denne strategiske proces i EF-erhvervsgrenen afspejledes også i produktiviteten, som forblev stabil i den betragtede periode, selv om EF-erhvervsgrenen måtte tilpasse sig den nye kundekreds (specielle varer baseret på kundernes tegninger), som krævede flere menneskelige ressourcer.
The results of this strategic process within the Community industry was also reflected in productivity, which remained stable during the period considered although they had to adapt to their new customer base (special products based on customers' drawings) requiring more human resources.
De gennemsnitlige lønninger steg moderat i den betragtede periode.
Average wage levels increased moderately during the period considered.
Arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat (betragtede periode)
Labour costs per employee for the PC
De konstaterede dumpingmargener er, jf. ovenstående betragtning, helt tydeligt over ubetydelighedsgrænsen.
As indicated in recital 150, the dumping margins found are clearly above de minimis.
I betragtning af omfanget af og priserne på dumpingimporten kan virkningerne af den faktiske dumpingmargen endvidere ikke anses for at være ubetydelige.
Furthermore, given the volume and the price of the dumped imports, the impact of the actual margin of dumping cannot be considered negligible.
Fællesskabet er ikke ved at overvinde virkningerne af tidligere dumping, da der ikke tidligere er foretaget sådanne undersøgelser.
The Community is not recovering from the effects of past dumping since no investigations have been carried out prior to the current one.
Mellem 2003 og UP steg mængden dumpingimporten af den pågældende vare fra Kina med næsten 180 % og tegnede sig for en markedsandel på 26 % i UP.
Between 2003 and the IP the volume of dumped imports of the product concerned from the PRC increased by almost 180 %, reaching a 26 % market share in the IP.
Desuden blev EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser i undersøgelsesperioden markant underbudt af dumpingimporten af den pågældende vare.
Moreover, in the IP, the sales prices of the Community industry were substantially undercut by those of the dumped imports of the product concerned.
På basis af et vejet gennemsnit var prisunderbuddet på over 40 %.
On a weighted average basis, price undercutting was over 40 %.
Samtidig steg forbruget i Fællesskabet med 29 %, mens EF-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde kun faldt med 1 %.
At the same time, while the Community consumption increased by 29 %, the sales volume of the Community industry only decreased by 1 %.
Dens markedsandel faldt med 24 %, og den kunne ikke lægge hele den samlede stigning i råmaterialepriserne over på kunderne, hvilket resulterede i en meget lav rentabilitet.
Its market share fell by 24 % and it could not fully pass on the global increase in raw material prices to its customers, resulting in continuing low levels of profitability.
Produktionen steg derfor ikke i samme takt som forbruget i Fællesskabet, og kapacitetsudnyttelsen forblev meget lav og udgjorde ca. 50 % i den betragtede periode.
As a consequence, production did not increase at the same pace as Community consumption, and capacity utilisation remained very low, at around 50 %, during the period considered.
Dette havde desuden en negativ indvirkning på rentabiliteten, da det forhindrede erhvervsgrenen i at udnytte mulighederne for stordrift.
This has also had a negative impact on profitability, as it kept the industry from fully taking advantage of economies of scale.
Dumpingimportens virkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet blev i den betragtede periode i et vist omfang afbødet af ekspansionen på fællesskabsmarkedet og den favorable økonomiske udvikling.
The impact of the dumped imports upon the profitability of the Community industry was somewhat mitigated during the period under consideration by the Community market expansion and the favourable economic cycle.
Denne situation kan dog ændres, når udviklingen vender.
However, this situation could be reversed when this cycle comes to an end.
Uanset EF-erhvervsgrenens betydelige bestræbelser for at opretholde produktionen ved hjælp af fleksibel produktion i den betragtede periode og dens fortsatte bestræbelser på at øge produktiviteten og konkurrenceevnen, afspejlede dens rentabilitet, likviditet og investeringsafkast ikke den vedvarende stigning i efterspørgslen i Fællesskabet efter den pågældende vare.
Notwithstanding the industry's considerable efforts to maintain production volume, through flexible production throughout the period considered and its continuing efforts to increase productivity and competitiveness, its profitability, cash flow and return on investment did not reflect the continuing increase of the Community demand for the product concerned.
Denne tendens kunne i alvorlig grad påvirke EF-erhvervsgrenens evne til at opretholde produktionen af varer af høj kvalitet.
This trend could severely impact the Community industry's capacity to maintain the production of high-quality parts.
Efter fremlæggelsen af informationsdokumentet påstod en række eksporterende producenter i Kina og EF-importører, at Kommissionens konklusion burde være, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke havde lidt væsentlig skade, da visse indikatorer såsom salgsmængder, priser og fortjeneste havde fulgt en positiv udvikling i den betragtede periode.
Subsequent to the disclosure of the information document, exporting producers in China and the Community importers argued that since some indicators such as sales volume, prices, and profit show a positive evolution during the period considered, the Commission should conclude that the Community industry has not suffered material injury.
EF-erhvervsgrenen påstod derimod, at den aktuelle lave rentabilitet i stigende grad påvirker erhvervsgrenens evne til at opretholde og forbedre produktionsudstyret med henblik på at opretholde dens betydelige markedsposition i det øverste markedssegment.
The Community industry, on the other hand, has argued that the current low levels of profitability are increasingly affecting its ability to maintain and improve the production equipment at a level which would allow them to maintain a significant presence in the higher end of the market.
Tabet af omfattende produktionsmængder af standardvarer påvirker derfor også EF-erhvervsgrenens evne til fortsat at levere varer af høj kvalitet.
Hence, the loss of high production volumes of standard products is also affecting the Community industry capacity to continue to provide high-quality products.
Undersøgelsen har efterfølgende bekræftet, at der opstod væsentlig skade som følge af, at EF-erhvervsgrenens varer i høj grad blev fortrængt af den kinesiske import i en række vigtige markedssegmenter med en negativ indvirkning på kapacitetsudnyttelsen og rentabiliteten, selv om denne indvirkning i en vis grad blev afbødet, da EF-erhvervsgrenen var i stand til at kompensere for de lavere produktionsmængder ved at fokusere på markedssegmenter og varer, som skaber større indtægter.
The investigation has since confirmed that material injury resulted from the significant displacement of Community products by Chinese imports in some important market segments, with a negative impact on capacity utilisation and profitability, although this impact has been somewhat attenuated by the fact hat the industry managed to compensate lower production volumes by focusing on market segments and products generating higher revenues.
I lyset af ovenstående konkluderes det, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3.
In the light of the foregoing, it is concluded that the Community industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3 of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, blev det undersøgt, om der var en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In accordance with Articles 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether there was a causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Mellem 2004 og undersøgelsesperioden, hvor det synlige forbrug i Fællesskabet steg med 29 % (i mængder), steg EF-producenternes salgsmængde kun med 17 %.
Between 2004 and the IP, the apparent Community consumption increased by 29 % (in volume), while the Community producers' sales only increased by 17 %.
EF-producenterne mistede derfor over 6,8 procentpoint i markedsandele i samme periode.
The Community producers therefore lost over 6,8 percentage points of market share in the same period.
En række ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne EF-importører påstod, at hvis salget blev målt i værdi i stedet for kvantitet, ville billedet se ganske anderledes ud, da salgsprisen pr. enhed for EF-producerede skruer er betydeligt højere end for kinesiske varer og er steget i den betragtede periode.
Community unrelated importers argued that if sales were expressed in value rather than quantities, the picture would be significantly different, as the unit selling price of Community produced fasteners is significantly higher than PRC products and has increased during the period considered.
