En anden berørt part hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke foretog en sammenlignende analyse af konkurrencevilkårene for de varer, som blev importeret fra de berørte lande, og fremførte, at virkningerne af den egyptiske dumpingimport på situationen i EF-erhvervsgrenen derfor burde vurderes separat.
Another interested party claimed that the Commission did not analyse the conditions of competition between the products imported from the countries concerned and submitted that the effects of the dumped Egyptian imports on the situation of the Community industry should, therefore, be assessed separately.
Det fremgår af betragtning 83 og 89 i forordningen om midlertidig told, at der blev foretaget en sammenlignende analyse af konkurrencevilkårene for de importerede varer, for så vidt angår, om der er tale om tilsvarende varer, og om der er lighed imellem eksportørernes adfærd (dvs. betydningen af importmængdens niveau, udviklingen af og niveauet for importpriserne og deres underbud af EF-erhvervsgrenens priser og salgskanalernes lighed).
As suggested in recitals 83 and 89 of the provisional Regulation, the conditions of competition between the imported products regarding the likeness of the product and the similarity of the exporters’ behaviour (i.e. the significance of the import volume level, the development and level of the price of imports and their undercutting of prices of the Community industry and the similarity of sales channels) were analysed.
Heraf fremgik, at betingelserne for den kumulative vurdering af importen fra de berørte lande var opfyldt.
It was thereby found that the conditions justifying the cumulative assessment of imports from the countries concerned were met.
På det grundlag måtte denne påstand afvises, og konklusionerne i betragtning 84 i forordningen om midlertidig told bekræftes.
On this basis, this claim had to be rejected and recital 84 of the provisional Regulation is confirmed.
En egyptisk eksporterende producent hævdede også, at hans begrænsede eksportmængde i UP ikke havde voldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade, og at virksomhedens situation derfor skulle vurderes separat.
One Egyptian exporting producer also claimed that its limited export volume during the IP had not caused injury to the Community industry and that thus its situation should be assessed separately.
I den forbindelse bemærkes det, at i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 4, vurderes virkningen af dumpingimport på situationen i EF-erhvervsgrenen kumulativt, bl.a. hvis den indførte mængde fra hvert land, der indgår i undersøgelsen, ikke er ubetydelig.
In this regard, it is noted that pursuant to Article 3(4) of the basic Regulation the effect of dumped imports on the situation of the Community industry shall be cumulatively assessed if, amongst others, the volume of imports from each country subject to the investigation is not negligible.
Eftersom det konstateredes, at importen fra Egypten var nået op på en markedsandel på 3,7 % i UP, var den ikke ubetydelig, jf. grundforordningens artikel 5, stk. 7.
Since imports from Egypt were found to have reached a market share of 3,7 % during the IP, they were not negligible within the meaning of Article 5(7) of the basic Regulation.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger hertil, bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 82-89 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
In the absence of any other comments in this regard, recitals 82 to 89 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
En berørt part hævdede, at underbudsmargenerne i forordningen om midlertidig told burde nedbringes med 3–5 %, så de kom til at afspejle »lokal« FeSi, eftersom stålproducenten i Fællesskabet angiveligt ville betale en præmie for lokalt (EU)-materiale, der signalerer pålidelighed, kvalitet og rettidig levering.
One interested party claimed that the undercutting margins found in the provisional Regulation should be reduced by 3 % to 5 % in order to reflect ‘locally sourced’ FeSi, since the steel producer in the Community would allegedly pay a premium for locally (EU)-sourced material reflecting reliability, quality and timing of supply.
Grundlaget for sammenligningen af EF-erhvervsgrenens priser med de berørte eksportørers fremgår af betragtning 38 og 87, 88 og 89 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Recitals 38 and 87 to 89 of the provisional Regulation explain the basis for the comparison of the prices charged by the Community industry with those charged by the exporters concerned.
I sammenligningen blev der taget hensyn til de forskellige kvaliteter af den berørte vare, jf. definitionen i betragtning 13 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
The comparison took account of the various qualities of the product concerned as defined in recital 13 of the provisional Regulation.
For så vidt angår pålidelighed og rettidig levering, fremgik det endvidere ikke af undersøgelsen, at der blev udbetalt en sådan præmie, eller at denne potentielle konkurrencefordel indgik i den pris, som stålproducenterne betalte til EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Moreover, as regards reliability and timing of supply, the investigation did not reveal that the payment of any such premium was taking place or that this potential competitive advantage was included in the price charged by the Community industry to steel producers.
Endelig fremlagde den berørte part ikke nogen form for dokumentation til underbyggelse af sin påstand, som derfor måtte afvises.
Finally, the interested party did not provide any evidence to substantiate its claim which therefore had to be rejected.
En række berørte parter satte spørgsmålstegn ved den metode, der blev anvendt i betragtning 93 i forordningen om midlertidig told til beregning af EF-erhvervsgrenens produktionskapacitet.
Certain interested parties questioned the methodology used in recital 93 of the provisional Regulation to calculate the production capacity of the Community industry.
De foreslog navnlig at anvende et kapacitetstal, hvori der blev taget hensyn til afbrydelser på grund af vedligeholdelse og strømafbrydelser i stedet for den »nominelle kapacitet«, jf. forordningen om midlertidig told.
In particular, they suggested applying a capacity figure taking into account closures for maintenance and electricity cuts, instead of the ‘theoretical nominal capacity’ as used in the provisional Regulation.
Undersøgelsen viste, at afbrydelser af EF-erhvervsgrenens maskineri på grund af vedligeholdelse eller strømafbrydelse var af midlertidig art, og at de ikke forekom regelmæssigt i den betragtede periode.
The investigation has shown that any closures of the Community industry machinery for maintenance or electricity cuts were of a temporary nature and that these did not occur on a regular basis within the period considered.
Det er værd at bemærke, at selvom der blev foretaget justeringer af produktionskapaciteten, som foreslået af disse berørte parter, ville tendenserne vedrørende produktionskapaciteten og kapacitetsudnyttelsen forblive uændrede.
It is worth noting that, even if adjustments were to be made to production capacity, as suggested by these interested parties, the trends concerning the production capacity and of the capacity utilisation would remain unchanged.
De konklusioner, man var nået frem til vedrørende materiel skade forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, ville også være de samme.
The conclusions reached on the existence of material injury suffered by the Community industry would also remain the same.
Derfor må kravet om at anvende en anden definition af produktionskapacitet afvises.
Consequently, the claim to apply a different definition of production capacity has to be rejected.
På baggrund af ovennævnte kendsgerninger og betragtninger bekræftes den konklusion, at EF-erhvervsgrenen led væsentlig skade, jf. betragtning 107-110 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Based on the above facts and considerations, the conclusion that the Community industry suffered material injury, in recitals 107 to 110 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
En række berørte parter hævdede, at vurderingen af årsagssammenhængen mellem den skade EF-erhvervsgrenen led og dumpingimporten ikke skulle foretages på et samlet grundlag, men virksomhed for virksomhed, i betragtning af påståede divergerende årsagsfaktorer hos de forskellige fællesskabsproducenter.
Certain interested parties claimed that the assessment of the causal link between the injury suffered by the Community industry and the dumped imports should not be made on an aggregate basis but on a company-by-company basis, in view of alleged divergent causation factors between the different Community producers.
Som allerede nævnt i betragtning 64 ovenfor vedrørende skade er der ingen bestemmelser i grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5, 6 og 7, hvoraf det fremgår, at årsagssammenhængen skal vurderes på grundlag af individuelle fællesskabsproducenter omfattet af definitionen på EF-erhvervsgrenen.
As already noted in recital 64 above concerning injury, there is no legal ground in Article 3(5), 3(6) and 3(7) of the basic Regulation suggesting that causation should be assessed on the basis of individual Community producers included in the definition of the Community industry.
I grundforordningens artikel 4 defineres denne som samtlige producenter i Fællesskabet af samme vare eller de af dem, hvis samlede produktion udgør en betydelig del af den samlede produktion i Fællesskabet.
The latter is defined in Article 4 of the basic Regulation as Community producers as a whole of the like products or those whose collective output represents a major proportion of the total Community production.
Der mindes om, at mængden af dumpingimport med oprindelse i de pågældende lande og markedsandelen voksede betydeligt i løbet af den betragtede periode.
It is recalled that the dumped imports volume from the countries concerned and market share increased significantly during the period considered.
Der var også et klart sammenfald i tid mellem den voksende dumpingimport og forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation.
There was also a clear coincidence in time between the surge of dumped imports and the deterioration of the economic situation of the Community industry.
EF-erhvervsgrenen var ikke i stand til at hæve sine salgspriser til et niveau, der kunne dække alle dens omkostninger, da dens priser i UP blev underbudt af dumpingimporten.
That industry was not able to increase its sales prices to the necessary level to cover its full costs, as its prices were undercut during the IP by dumped imports.
På dette grundlag bekræftes resultaterne og konklusionerne i betragtning 112, 113 og 114 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
On that basis, the findings and the conclusions reached in recitals 112 to 114 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Prisfastsættelse på ferrosilicium
Price setting of ferro-silicon
En række berørte parter hævdede, at FeSi er en råvare, som forhandles på det globale marked, og at markedspriserne på FeSi blev fastsat ved stålindustriens svingende efterspørgsel og ikke var omkostningsbaserede.
Certain interested parties claimed that FeSi is a commodity traded on the global market and that market prices for FeSi were set by fluctuating demand of the steel industry and were not cost-based.
I markedsøkonomier og på normale markedsvilkår fastsættes priserne normalt ud fra niveauerne for efterspørgslen efter og udbuddet af en bestemt vare på markedet.
In market economies and in normal market conditions, the prices are generally set by the levels of the demand and the offer for a certain product in the market.
Der kan imidlertid også være tale om andre faktorer, som f.eks. tilstedeværelsen af lavprisdumpingimport, der spiller en større rolle for prisniveauet.
However, there might be other factors such as the presence of low-priced dumped imports, which are playing a major role in the level of the prices.
I det foreliggende tilfælde viste undersøgelsen, at prissætningsmekanismerne for FeSi var påvirket af tilstedeværelsen af betydelige mængder dumpingimport.
In the current case, the investigation showed that indeed the price setting mechanisms for FeSi were influenced by the presence of significant quantities of dumped imports.
Det er uomtvisteligt, at den globale efterspørgsel efter FeSi, navnlig fra stålindustrien, påvirkede prissætningen i en del af den betragtede periode, men de tilgængelige oplysninger har vist, at der var perioder, hvor kontraktpriserne på FeSi faldt trods voksende efterspørgsel.
While it is certainly true that global demand for FeSi, in particular from the steel industry, influenced the price setting in certain parts of the period considered, the information available has shown that there were periods in which FeSi contractual prices decreased despite the growing demand.
De samme berørte parter fremkom med oplysninger om udviklingen i EU’s produktion af råstål og rustfrit stål og EU’s spotpriser på FeSi fra 2002 og fremefter.
The same interested parties provided information showing the development of EU crude and stainless steel production and EU FeSi spot prices from 2002 onwards.
Ud fra disse oplysninger drog de berørte parter den konklusion, at priserne på FeSi kun kunne være efterspørgselsbestemt (først og fremmest fra stålproducenternes side).
From this data the interested parties drew the conclusion that FeSi prices could only have been driven by demand (primarily from steel producers).
Analysen af oplysningerne bekræftede imidlertid den konklusion, man var nået frem til i betragtning 88, nemlig at selv på fællesskabsmarkedet var priserne på FeSi i visse perioder faldende trods en øget efterspørgsel fra metalindustrien.
However, the analysis of this information confirmed the conclusion reached in recital 88, namely that even on the Community level, FeSi prices were in certain periods decreasing despite an increasing demand from the steel industry.
Derfor måtte påstanden om, at det lave prisniveau på FeSi var efterspørgselsbestemt og ikke skyldtes dumpingimport, afvises.
Therefore, the claim that the low level of FeSi prices was determined by demand and not by the dumped imports has to be rejected.
En berørt part hævdede, at den skade, som var blevet forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen, udelukkende måtte tilskrives EF-producenternes påståede manglende konkurrenceevne og ikke dumpingimporten.
One interested party claimed that the injury suffered by the Community industry had to be attributed solely to the alleged lack of competitiveness of the Community producers and not to the dumped imports.
Denne berørte part citerede navnlig et arbejdsdokument [3], hvori råmaterialer og energi var citeret for at være de vigtigste konkurrencefaktorer for EU’s metalindustri.
In particular, this interested party cited a working document [3] where raw materials and energy were cited as the most important competitiveness factors for the EU metals industry.
Analysen af ovennævnte arbejdsdokument viste imidlertid, at der ikke drages nogen konklusion i teksten, der henviser til manglende konkurrenceevne i EU’s ferrolegeringsindustri.
The analysis of the aforementioned working document showed, however, that no conclusion is drawn in the text which refers to any lack of competitiveness of the European ferro-alloys industry.
Tværtimod påpeges det i dette arbejdsdokument, at ferrolegeringsproducenter står over for voksende import fra tredjelande, f.eks. Kina, Rusland, Ukraine, Brasilien og Kasakhstan.
On the contrary, this working document indicates that the ferro-alloy producers ‘are facing growing imports from third countries e.g. the PRC, Russia, Ukraine, Brazil and Kazakhstan.
Den samme berørte part fremførte endvidere, at de fleste fællesskabsproducenter allerede var urentable, før der fandt skadevoldende dumpingimport sted på fællesskabsmarkedet.
The same interested party further argued that most of the Community producers were already unprofitable before any injurious dumping took place in the Community market.
Derfor var det ikke dumpingimport, men sårbare omkostningsstrukturer, der var årsag til EF-erhvervsgrenens svage økonomiske situation.
Therefore, it would not be the dumped imports but vulnerable costs structures that have caused the weak economic situation of the Community industry.
Som det klart fremgår af betragtning 97 i forordningen om midlertidig told, var EF-erhvervsgrenen rentabel i 2003 med en fortjenstmargen før skat på 2,3 %, der voksede til 2,7 % i 2004.
As it is clearly demonstrated in recital 97 of the provisional Regulation, the Community industry was profitable in 2003 with a pre-tax profit margin of 2,3 %, which increased to 2,7 % in 2004.
I 2005 opstod der imidlertid en betydelig nedadgående tendens i rentabiliteten, og tabene udgjorde – 9,2 % af omsætningen.
In 2005, however, a significant downwards trend in profitability took place and losses reached – 9,2 % of turnover.
De største tab på – 12,9 % opstod i UP.
The highest losses of – 12,9 % were incurred during the IP.
I den forbindelse mindes der om, at en del af 2005 er dækket af UP.
In this context, it is recalled that part of 2005 is covered by the IP.
Derfor må argumentet om, at EF-erhvervsgrenen allerede var urentabel, før skadevoldende dumping fandt sted, afvises.
Consequently, the argument that the Community industry was already unprofitable before any injurious dumping took place has to be rejected.
For så vidt angår import fra andre tredjelande, er der ikke fremsat nye bemærkninger, hvorfor konklusionen i betragtning 121 i forordningen om midlertidig told om, at denne import ikke har bidraget væsentligt til den skade, EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, bekræftes.
With regard to imports form other third countries, in the absence of any new comments, the conclusion reached in recital 121 of the provisional Regulation that these imports have not materially contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry is confirmed.
Virkningerne af andre faktorer
Effects of further factors
En række berørte parter genfremsatte de påstande, som de fremkom med, før de midlertidige foranstaltninger blev indført, om at den væsentlige skade, som EF-erhvervsgrenen led, angiveligt skyldtes andre faktorer end dumpingimport.
Various interested parties reiterated the claims put forward before the imposition of the provisional measures, that the material injury suffered by the Community industry was allegedly caused by factors other than the dumped imports.
Disse påstande blev allerede indgående behandlet i forordningen om midlertidig told.
These claims were already duly addressed in the provisional Regulation.
Påstandene om påstået selvpåført væsentlig skade blev behandlet i betragtning 134, 135 og 136 i forordningen om midlertidig told, og påstandene om faldende efterspørgsel efter stål blev behandlet i betragtning 124 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
More specifically, the claims referring to alleged self-inflicted material injury were addressed in recitals 134 to 136 of the provisional Regulation and the claims concerning the downturn in steel demand were addressed in recital 124 of the provisional Regulation.
Selvom der ikke fremkom nogen nye elementer til støtte for disse påstande, undersøges de vigtigste resultater og konklusioner i forordningen om midlertidig told nærmere nedenfor.
Even though no new elements were provided to support these claims, the main findings and conclusions set out in the provisional Regulation are further clarified below.
En række berørte parter hævdede, at den bratte stigning i omkostningerne, navnlig på grund af råmaterialer og elektricitet, som EF-erhvervsgrenen led under, og en fællesskabsproducents reducerede produktionskapacitet er årsag til den væsentlige skade, der blev forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen i UP.
Several interested parties claimed that the sharp increase in costs, in particular raw materials and electricity, suffered by the Community industry and the reduction in production capacity of one Community producer have caused the material injury found during the IP.
For så vidt angår den påståede reducerede produktionskapacitet hos en fællesskabsproducent, mindes der om, at der blev foretaget en justering af kapaciteten for fuldt ud at tage hensyn til denne særlige situation, jf. betragtning 93 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
With regard to the alleged reduction in production capacity of one Community producer, it is recalled that an adjustment to capacity was made as mentioned in recital 93 of the provisional Regulation to take full account of this particular situation.
For så vidt angår omkostningsforøgelser, hævdede EF-erhvervsgrenen, at omkostningsforøgelser i ferrolegeringsindustrien normalt opstår på verdensplan og derved påvirker industrien på verdensplan i samme grad.
With regard to cost increases, the Community industry alleged that cost increases observed in the alloy industry usually occur on a worldwide scale thereby affecting equally the worldwide industry.
En analyse af prisudviklingen i større udgiftsposter i den betragtede periode viser, at omkostningerne er vokset (elektricitet, kvartsit og elektrodepasta).
An analysis of the price development of major cost items over the period considered shows that costs have increased (electricity, quartzite and electrode paste).
Undersøgelsen viste imidlertid, at selvom der delvis blev kompenseret for disse prisstigninger ved stigninger i salgspriserne, tillod tilstedeværelsen af lavprisdumpingimport ikke EF-erhvervsgrenen at overvælte hele virkningen af sine omkostningsforøgelser i sine salgspriser.
However, the investigation has shown that even if these increases were partly compensated by sale price increases the presence of low-priced dumped imports did not allow the Community industry to pass on the full effect of its increases in costs in its sales price.
Konklusionerne i betragtning 131-140 i forordningen om midlertidig told bekræftes derfor.
Recitals 131 to 140 of the provisional Regulation are therefore confirmed.
En række berørte parter hævdede, at en bestemt fællesskabsproducent havde problemer med sin elleverandør, hvilket førte til begrænsede produktionsmængder i 2005 og 2006.
Several interested parties argued that one specific Community producer had problems with its electricity supplier leading to reduced production quantities in 2005 and 2006.
De gjorde gældende, at dette fuldt ud forklarede EF-erhvervsgrenens fald i produktion og salgsmængde og nedgang i rentabilitet.
They argued that this fully explained the decrease in production and sales volume by the Community industry and the loss in profitability.
Som allerede nævnt i betragtning 84 ovenfor skal årsagen til den forvoldte skade analyseres for EF-erhvervsgrenen som helhed.
As already mentioned in recital 84 above, the cause of the injury suffered shall be analysed at the level of the Community industry as a whole.
For god ordens skyld skal det imidlertid nævnes, at selv hvis oplysningerne om denne producent kunne udelades fra skadesvurderingen, ville tendensen for den resterende del af EF-erhvervsgrenen stadig være meget negativ og fortsat vise, at der er tale om væsentlig skade.
However, for the sake of argument, even if the data pertaining to this producer could be excluded from the injury assessment, the trends observed for the remainder of the Community industry would remain highly negative and continue to show material injury.
Påstanden blev derfor afvist.
Therefore this claim had to be rejected.
I betragtning af ovenstående analyse, hvori der er skelnet behørigt imellem virkningerne af alle andre kendte faktorer på EF-erhvervsgrenens situation og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, bekræftes det, at disse andre faktorer ikke i sig selv ændrer det forhold, at den væsentlige skade må tilskrives dumpingimporten.
Given the above analysis which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all other known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is hereby confirmed that these other factors as such do not reverse the fact that the material injury assessed must be attributed to the dumped imports.
