De tilgængelige oplysninger om markedet for stearinlys i Fællesskabet antyder, jf. betragtning 92 ovenfor, at producenter, der tegner sig for ca. 40 % af produktionen i Fællesskabet, ikke er inkluderet i definitionen af EF-erhvervsgrenen i denne undersøgelse.
As suggested in recital (92) above, the information available on the market for candles in the Community indicates that producers representing around 40 % of Community production are not included in the definition of Community industry in this investigation.
Visse EF-producenter, der tegner sig for ca. 17 % af produktionen i Fællesskabet, var imod indledningen af undersøgelsen, da de fleste importerede forholdsvis store mængder af stearinlys fra Kina.
Certain Community producers, representing around 17 % of Community production, were opposed to the initiation of the investigation, because most were importing relatively large quantities of candles from the PRC.
Der er tage hensyn til virkningen af denne import fra Kina i forbindelse med analysen af følgevirkningerne af dumpingimporten fra Kina, jf. betragtning 136 - til 142 ovenfor.
The impact of their imports from the PRC has been taken into account in the analysis of the effect of dumped imports from the PRC made in recitals (136) to (142) above.
De resterende EF-producenter, der tegner sig for 23 % af produktionen i Fællesskabet, forholdt sig neutrale eller svarede slet ikke i forbindelse med indledningen af denne undersøgelse.
The remaining Community producers, representing 23 % of Community production, either were silent or neutral concerning the initiation of the present investigation.
Analysen af oplysningerne vedrørende fællesskabsmarkedet viser, at alle de øvrige EF-producenter ikke vandt men mistede markedsandele på salget af deres egen produktion i løbet af den betragtede periode.
The analysis of data pertaining to the Community market suggested that all the other Community producers did not gain but lost market share on the sales of their own production during the period considered.
Undersøgelsen pegede ikke på særlige problemer vedrørende konkurrence mellem EF-producenterne på deres egne stearinlys eller på andre handelsforvridende virkninger, som kan forklare den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen blev påført.
The investigation did not point to any particular problem concerning the competition between Community producers, on the own-produced candles, or to any trade distorting effect which may explain the material injury found for the Community industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående blev det foreløbigt konkluderet, at de producenter, der ikke indgik i definitionen af EF-erhvervsgrenen, ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, der blev påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Based on the above, it was provisionally concluded that the producers not included in the definition of the Community industry did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
På grundlag af Eurostats oplysninger og spørgeskemabesvarelserne fra de EF-producenter, der indgik i stikprøven, steg EF-producenternes samlede eksport af stearinlys uden for Fællesskabet med 10 % i den betragtede periode, nemlig fra 47701 ton i 2004 til 52565 ton i UP.
Based on Eurostat and questionnaire replies from the sampled Community producers, total exports of candles outside the Community by the Community producers increased by 10 % over the period considered, namely from 47701 tonnes in 2004 to 52565 tonnes during the IP.
De største eksportmarkeder er Norge, Schweiz og USA, hvor prisniveauet generelt er relativt højt.
The main export markets are Norway, Switzerland and the USA, where the price levels are in general relatively high.
Undersøgelsen viste, at det lykkedes EF-erhvervsgrenen at øge eksporten til tredjelande og især mellem 2005 og 2006, hvor forbruget i Fællesskabet faldt med 5 %.
The investigation showed that the Community industry managed to increase its exports to third countries, in particular between 2005 and 2006, when Community consumption decreased by 5 %.
Disse forholdsvis gode eksportresultater var især til gavn i UP.
This relatively good export performance was particularly beneficial during the IP.
På baggrund af det ovenstående blev det konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater ikke har bidraget til den væsentlige skade, EF-erhvervsgrenen blev påført i UP.
In view of the above, it is considered that the export performance of the Community industry has not contributed to the injury suffered by that industry in the IP.
EF-erhvervsgrenens import af stearinlys
Imports of candles by the Community industry
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at EF-erhvervsgrenens import af stearinlys fra Kina er en kilde til selvforskyldt skade.
Some interested parties have claimed that the imports of candles from the PRC by the Community industry were a source of self-inflicted injury.
Undersøgelsen viste, at visse producenter, der indgik i definitionen af EF-erhvervsgrenen, importerede stearinlys med oprindelse i Kina for at supplere deres varesortiment.
The investigation showed that some producers included in the definition of the Community industry imported candles originating in the PRC in order to complement their range of products.
Disse indkøb var dog relativt lave i UP og udgjorde mindre end 5 % sammenholdt med de pågældende EF-producenters salg.
However, the purchases made during the IP were found to be low, namely less than 5 %, compared to the sales volume of the Community producers concerned.
Det blev derfor foreløbigt konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenens import af den pågældende vare fra Kina ikke har bidraget til den væsentlige skade, der er påført den i UP.
On that basis, it was provisionally concluded that the imports of the Community industry of the product concerned from the PRC have not contributed to the material injury they suffered during the IP.
Udflytning af EF-erhvervsgrenens produktion
Relocation of production by the Community industry
Visse interesserede parter hævdede, at faldet i kapacitetsudnyttelse og tabet af markedsandel, som påførtes EF-erhvervsgrenen, skyldtes at den havde udflyttet en del af deres produktion til andre EU-medlemsstater, især i 2006.
Certain interested parties attributed the losses of capacity utilisation and market share incurred by the Community industry to the fact that they have relocated part of their production to other Member States in the Community, in particular in 2006.
De mente desuden, at de faldende salgspriser skyldtes konkurrencevilkårene i disse medlemsstater, hvor salgspriserne angiveligt var under stærkt pres.
Moreover, they attributed the decrease in sales prices to the conditions of competition prevailing in these Member States where there is allegedly more pressure on sales prices.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenens produktionskapacitet ikke faldt, men steg med 8 % i løbet af den betragtede periode.
The investigation showed that the production capacity of the Community, did not decrease, but steadily increased by 8 % during the period considered.
Det blev desuden konstateret, at de største kapacitetsstigninger fandt sted i de perioder, der begyndte i 2006 og i UP.
In addition, it was found that the main increases in capacity were observed in the periods starting in 2006 and during the IP.
Endelig blev det også konstateret, at både EF-erhvervsgrenens produktion og salg steg med 8 % mellem 2006 og UP.
Finally, it was also found that both the production and sales volume of the Community industry increased by 8 % between 2006 and the IP.
Påstanden modsiges således af undersøgelsesresultaterne, som viste en stigning i produktionskapacitet, produktion og lagerbeholdninger.
Accordingly, the claim is contradicted by the findings of the investigation which showed that an increase in production capacity, production and stocks.
EF-erhvervsgrenens tab af markedsandel skyldtes, jf. betragtning 115 ovenfor, at erhvervsgrenen ikke var i stand til at udnytte væksten på markedet i den pågældende periode.
As mentioned in recital (115) above, the loss in market share suffered by the Community industry was due to the fact that it could not fully benefit from the growth of the market that occurred in that period.
Det fremgår desuden af betragtning 122 til 124 ovenfor, at EF-erhvervsgrenens omstruktureringstiltag især i 2006 førte til en betydelig reduktion af de gennemsnitlige produktionsomkostninger i UP på 14 %.
Furthermore, it was shown in recitals (122) to (124) above that the restructuring actions undertaken by the Community industry in particular in 2006 led to a substantial decrease of 14 % of its average COP in particular during the IP.
Intet i undersøgelsen tyder på, at EF-erhvervsgrenen i væsentlig grad ændrede sammensætningen af kundekredsen i Fællesskabet, således som de pågældende parter påstod det.
There is no indication in the investigation that the Community industry significantly changed its mix of customers in the Community as alleged by the parties in question.
Det blev derimod konstateret, at det pristryk, lavprisdumpingimporten fra Kina udøvede på EF-erhvervsgrenen, førte til et lavt prisniveau for stearinlys på fællesskabsmarkedet.
Rather it is considered that the price pressure exerted by low price dumped imports from the PRC led to a low level of prices for candles on the Community market.
På denne baggrund pegede undersøgelsen ikke på en årsagssammenhæng mellem EF-erhvervsgrenens udflytning af produktionen og den væsentlige skade, erhvervsgrenen blev påført i UP.
On that basis, the investigation did not point to a link between the relocation of production undertaken by the Community industry and the material injury it suffered during the IP.
Følgevirkninger af et kartel af europæiske producenter af paraffinvoks
Impact of the existence of a cartel among European paraffin wax producers
Visse parter har påstået, at den skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen blev tilført, skyldtes en stigning i priserne på det vigtigste råmateriale, nemlig paraffin, på fællesskabsmarkedet.
Certain parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Community industry was caused by the price increase in the main raw material, namely paraffin which occurred on the Community market.
Mere specifikt henviste de til en række indvendinger fra Europa-Kommissionens Generaldirektorat for Konkurrence (GD for konkurrence), hvori der omtales et kartel bestående af europæiske producenter af paraffinvoks, som angiveligt skulle have eksisteret helt indtil begyndelsen af 2005.
More specifically, they referred to a statement of objection issued by the Directorate General for Competition of the European Commission (DG Competition) in which a cartel amongst European paraffin wax producers was alleged to exist up to the beginning of 2005.
Derfor anmodede parterne Kommissionen om en grundig undersøgelse af forholdene og en opfølgning af eventuelle nye udviklinger i forbindelse med kartellets indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation.
Accordingly the parties asked the Commission to carefully examine the facts and follow any new developments in connexion with the impact of the cartel on the economic situation of the Community industry.
Undersøgelsen viste, at stigningen i priserne for paraffin ikke blot påvirkede fællesskabsmarkedet men også andre markeder på verdensplan, da udviklingen for paraffin, som er afledt af olie, er tæt knyttet til udviklingen i oliepriserne.
The investigation showed that the increase in the paraffin price did not only affect the Community market but also other markets in the world as the evolution of paraffin, an oil derivative, is closely linked to the evolution of the oil price.
Desuden lykkedes det, jf. betragtning 122 til 124 ovenfor, EF-erhvervsgrenen at holde omkostningerne i ro i UP.
Moreover as explained in recitals (122) to (124) above, the Community industry managed to control its costs during then IP.
Stigningen i prisen for paraffin blev omgået ved at erstatte paraffin med stearin.
The paraffin price increase was countered by substituting paraffin with stearin.
EF-erhvervsgrenen rationaliserede desuden sin produktion og havde held til at reducere omkostningerne, som i UP blev holdt på et niveau svarende til 2004 og 2005.
The Community industry also rationalised its production and managed to significantly reduce its costs which during the IP were kept to levels comparable to 2004 and 2005.
GD for konkurrence undersøgte påstanden om et angiveligt kartel bestående af visse producenter af paraffinvoks, som er EF-erhvervsgrenens vigtigste råvare, og offentliggjorde sine konklusioner i begyndelsen af oktober 2008.
DG Competition has indeed conducted an investigation into the alleged existence of a cartel between certain producers of paraffin wax, the main raw material for the Community candle industry and officially issued its findings at the beginning of October 2008.
Analysen af disse resultater i relation til den igangværende antidumpingundersøgelse antyder, at EF-erhvervsgrenen indkøbte ca. en tredjedel af den nødvendige paraffin fra virksomheder, der deltog i kartellet i løbet af UP, navnlig i 2007.
A first analysis of these findings in relation to the current anti-dumping investigation indicates that the Community industry sourced approximately one third of its paraffin needs from companies participating in the cartel during the IP, namely in 2007.
De data, der blev efterprøvet i den periode, viser, at gennemsnitsprisen for paraffin fra de virksomheder, der deltog i kartellet, ligger i det samme interval som priserne for paraffin fra andre leverandører i Fællesskabet.
The data verified during that period shows that the average price of paraffin purchased from companies participating in the cartel is in the same range as prices of paraffin purchased from other suppliers in the Community.
Det skal endvidere bemærkes, at priserne for paraffin indkøbt af EF-erhvervsgrenen var i overensstemmelse med priserne for paraffin i Kina, hvilket var den eneste tilgængelige information om priser uden for EU på dette tidspunkt i undersøgelsen.
It is also worth noting that the prices of paraffin purchased by the Community industry were found to be in line with the prices of paraffin in the PRC, the only information available on non-EU prices at this stage of the investigation.
GD for konkurrence indledte sin undersøgelse i begyndelsen af april 2005, og den betragtede periode for den nuværende undersøgelse omfattede lidt over et år, hvor kartellet eksisterede.
DG Competition initiated its investigation early April 2005 and the period considered for the current investigation included slightly more than a year during which the cartel was found to exist.
Det kan derfor diskuteres, om 2004 er relevant eller repræsentativt i forbindelse med skadesanalysen og analysen af årsagssammenhæng, da kartellet eksisterede i det pågældende år.
It could therefore be argued that the year 2004 is not suitable or representative for the analysis of injury and causal link on the grounds of the existence of a cartel in that year.
Da det ikke er urimeligt at antage, at kartellet ophørte med at eksistere, da GD for konkurrence indledte sin undersøgelse, dvs. i begyndelsen af 2005, blev der foretaget en sammenligning af tendenserne vedrørende EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation, mens kartellet stadig eksisterede, altså i 2004, og derefter, da kartellet ophørte med at eksistere, altså i 2005.
Considering that it is not unreasonable to assume that the cartel ceased to exist when the investigation of DG Competition started, namely at the beginning of 2005, the trends concerning the economic situation of the Community industry, when the cartel was still existing, namely in 2004, and after when the cartel ceased to exist, namely in 2005, were compared.
Sammenligningen viser, at tendenserne vedrørende EF-erhvervsgrenens skadesituation er tilnærmelsesvis de samme.
This comparison indicates that the trends concerning the injury picture of the Community industry remains approximately the same.
Selvom der tages hensyn til udviklingen i skadesindikatorerne mellem 2005 og UP, ville skadessituationen og konklusionerne i betragtning 130 til 134 ovenfor forblive uændrede.
Taking into account the developments of the injury indicators between 2005 and the IP would therefore not alter the injury picture and the conclusions reached in recitals (130) to (134) above.
Ud fra de faktisk foreliggende oplysninger har stigningen i råvareomkostningerne og kartellet tilsyneladende ikke haft en væsentlig indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation, som blev grundigt undersøgt i perioden fra 2004 til udgangen af 2007.
Accordingly, based on information which is currently available, it would appear that the increase in the raw material costs and the cartel could not have had a material impact on the economic situation of the Community industry which was examined in depth from 2004 up to the end of 2007.
Kartellets eventuelle indvirkning på fællesskabsmarkedet vil dog blive undersøgt i den videre undersøgelse.
The possible impact the cartel may have had on the Community market will nevertheless be further investigated in the remainder of the investigation.
Analysen ovenfor har vist, at der skete en betydelig stigning i omfanget af og markedsandelen for lavprisdumpingimport med oprindelse i Kina i perioden mellem 2004 og UP.
The above analysis has demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports originating in the PRC between 2004 and the IP.
Det blev desuden konstateret, at denne import foregik til betydeligt dumpede priser, som lå langt under EF-erhvervsgrenens priser på fællesskabsmarkedet for lignende varetyper.
In addition, it was found that these imports were made at significantly dumped prices which were far below the prices charged by the Community industry on the Community market for similar product types.
Stigningen i omfanget af og markedsandelen for lavprisdumpingimporten fra Kina faldt sammen med en generel stigning i efterspørgslen i Fællesskabet, men også med en negativ udvikling i salgspriserne, et betydeligt fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel og en forværring af de vigtigste indikatorer for erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i UP.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC coincided with an overall increase of the demand in the Community but also with the negative development of sales prices, a significant drop in the market share of the Community industry and a deterioration of the main indicators pertaining to its economic situation during the IP.
EF-erhvervsgrenen led store tab i 2006 og i hele UP.
The Community industry made substantial losses in 2006 and remained loss-making during the IP.
Det fremgik af undersøgelsen af de andre faktorer, som kunne have skadet EF-erhvervsgrenen, at ingen af disse kunne have haft væsentlige virkninger for erhvervsgrenen især i UP.
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Community industry revealed that none of these could have had a significant negative impact on that industry in particular during the IP.
På baggrund af ovenstående analyse, hvor der blev behørigt skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EF-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at importen fra Kina har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21 blev det undersøgt, om der til trods for konklusionerne om skadevoldende dumping var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke er i Fællesskabets interesse at indføre foreløbige antidumpingforanstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether, despite the conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it is not in the Community interest to adopt provisional anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
Fællesskabets interesser blev fastlagt på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, dvs. EF-erhvervsgrenens, råvareleverandørernes, importørernes og brugernes interesser.
The analysis of the Community interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Community industry, the raw material suppliers, the importers and the consumers of the product concerned.
EF-erhvervsgrenen består af en lang række små og mellemstore producenter i hele Fællesskabet, som direkte beskæftiger ca. 5000 personer og som indkøber hovedparten af råmaterialerne fra leverandører i Fællesskabet.
The Community industry is composed of numerous small and medium size producers located throughout the Community, employing directly around 5000 people and sourcing most of its raw material needs from Community suppliers.
Dette betyder, at mange virksomheder i Fællesskabet er afhængige af erhvervsgrenen.
This means that there are many companies in the Community which depend on this industry.
EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation berører dermed mange virksomheder og især beskæftigelsen i Fællesskabet.
This broadens the economic implication of the candle industry and in particular its impact on the employment in the Community.
EF-erhvervsgrenen har vedvarende søgt at rejse kapital og investere i modernisering og automatisering af produktionsprocessen for at forblive konkurrencedygtig.
The Community industry has continued to make efforts to raise capital and to invest in modernisation and automation of production processes in order to remain competitive.
Det blev desuden konstateret, at der blev gjort en stor indsats for at omstrukturere produktionen og reducere omkostningerne.
It was also observed that considerable efforts were made to restructure production, and to reduce costs.
Dette viser, at erhvervsgrenen er levedygtig og ikke vil opgive produktionen.
This shows that the industry is viable and not ready to abandon production.
Det blev konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenens situation vil blive yderligere forværret, hvis der ikke træffes foranstaltninger, og de virkninger af de senere års investeringer vil således blive undermineret.
It is considered that the non-imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures would lead to a further deterioration of the economic situation of the Community industry, thus undermining the efforts, in particular the investments, made in recent years.
På kort sigt vil dette medføre virksomhedslukninger ikke blot blandt producenter af stearinlys men sandsynligvis også blandt leverandørerne, og deraf følgende tab af arbejdspladser i Fællesskabet.
In the short term this would imply company closures, not only in the candle but also likely in the upstream industry and subsequent job losses in the Community.
Det forventes, at prisniveauet for stearinlys solgt på fællesskabsmarkedet vil øges ved indførelsen af en midlertidig antidumpingtold, og at EF-erhvervsgrenen dermed vil kunne genvinde rentabiliteten.
It is expected that following the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties, the price level of candles in the Community market would increase and would allow for a restoration of profitability of the Community industry.
En prisstigning på 7 % vil være tilstrækkeligt til at give erhvervsgrenen mulighed for hurtigt at nå et acceptabelt rentabilitetsniveau.
A price increase of 7 % would be sufficient to allow this industry to quickly reach an acceptable level of profitability.
