Dumpingmargenerne for eksportører i Kina fremgår af afsnittet om dumping ovenfor og ligger væsentligt over ubetydelighedsgrænsen.
The dumping margins for exporters in the PRC are specified above in the dumping section and are significantly above de minimis.
Der er intet tegn på, at EF-erhvervsgrenen er ved at komme sig over følgerne af tidligere dumping.
There is no indication that the Community industry is recovering from the effects of past dumping.
Det skal bemærkes, at importen af MNG ikke har været underlagt foranstaltninger siden 2003.
It is noted that imports of MSG have not been subject to measures since 2003.
De fleste skadesindikatorer for EF-erhvervsgrenen udviklede sig i negativ retning i den betragtede periode.
Most injury indicators pertaining to the Community industry developed negatively during the period considered.
Produktion og kapacitetsudnyttelse faldt henholdsvis 6 % og 14 %.
Production and capacity utilisation fell by 6 % and 14 %, respectively.
Nok faldt forbruget på fællesskabsmarkedet 4 %, men EF-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængder faldt betydeligt mere, dvs. 24 %, og derfor mistede EF-erhvervsgrenen 12,5 procentpoint af markedsandelen.
While consumption on the Community market decreased by 4 %, the sales volumes of the Community industry fell significantly more, i.e. by 24 %, leading to a loss in market share of 12,5 percentage points.
Andre skadesindikatorer, som f.eks. lagre og beskæftigelse, udviklede sig også i negativ retning i den betragtede periode.
Other injury indicators such as stocks and employment, also developed negatively during the period considered.
Undersøgelsen viste, at lavprisimporten fra Kina underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser med op til 24 % i UP.
The investigation showed that low priced Chinese imports were undercutting Community industry prices by up to 24 % during the IP.
EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser steg 19 % i den betragtede periode som følge af omkostningsstigninger, men det medførte en nedgang i salgsmængderne og i markedsandelen.
The selling prices of the Community industry increased during the period considered by 19 %, due to cost increases, but the consequence of this was a decrease in sales volumes and a drop in market share.
Derfor udviklede de øvrige finansielle skadesindikatorer, herunder investeringsafkast, likviditet og rentabilitet, sig også negativt i den betragtede periode.
Hence, the other financial injury indicators, including return on investments, cash flow and profitability also developed negatively during the period considered.
På baggrund af ovenstående kan det konkluderes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
In the light of the foregoing, it can be concluded that the Community industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, har Kommissionen undersøgt, om dumpingimporten af MNG med oprindelse i Kina har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen skade i et omfang, der kan betegnes som væsentligt.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has examined whether the dumped imports of MSG originating in the PRC have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
I den betragtede periode blev lavprisdumpingimporten fra Kina mængdemæssigt over syv gange større, hvilket medførte en stigning i markedsandelen i Fællesskabet for MNG fra Kina fra 3-7 % i RÅ2005 til 38-43 % i UP.
Over the period considered, low priced dumped imports from the PRC in terms of volume increased more than seven times, which resulted in an increase of Community market share by Chinese MSG from in the range of 3 % to 7 % in FY2005 to in the range of 38 % to 43 % in the IP.
Samtidig var de kinesiske eksportører de eneste aktører på markedet, som sænkede salgsprisen.
At the same time, Chinese exporters were the only players on the market who decreased their selling prices.
Forhåndenværende oplysninger viser, at både EF-producenten og eksportører fra andre tredjelande hævede deres priser som følge af stigende produktionsomkostninger (navnlig højere priser på råmaterialer og energi).
Available information indicates that both the Community producer and exporters from other third countries increased their prices following growing costs of production (mainly increases in prices of raw material and energy).
Stigningen i importen fra Kina faldt sammen med forværrelsen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
This increase in imports from the PRC coincided with the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry.
I RÅ2006 steg importmængderne fra Kina 142 %, mens salgsmængden i Fællesskabet steg 1 %.
In FY2006 the import volumes from the PRC increased by 142 % while the Community sales volume increased by 1 %.
I RÅ2007 steg importmængden fra Kina yderligere 201 %, og salgspriserne faldt 4 %, mens salgsmængden i Fællesskabet faldt 25 procentpoint.
In FY2007 the import volume from the PRC increased by a further 201 % and sales prices decreased by 4 % while the Community sales volume decreased by 25 percentage points.
Derfor oplevede EF-erhvervsgrenen en nedgang i de mængder, der blev solgt på fællesskabsmarkedet, og mistede som følge heraf 12,5 procentpoint af markedsandelen i UP.
As a result, the Community industry suffered a decrease in its sales volumes on the Community market and a resulting loss of market share of 12,5 percentage points during the IP.
Pristrykket som følge af dumpingimporten fra Kina forhindrede EF-erhvervsgrenen i at hæve salgspriserne til et niveau, som ville fjerne tabet og forbedre den finansielle situation yderligere.
Price suppression by the dumped Chinese imports did not allow the Community industry to raise its sales prices to the level which would eliminate the losses and further improve its financial situation.
På baggrund af ovenstående kan det foreløbigt konkluderes, at lavprisdumpingimporten fra Kina, som i høj grad underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser i UP, og som også i høj grad steg mængdemæssigt, har spillet en afgørende rolle for den skade, EF-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, hvilket afspejles i den dårlige finansielle situation og forringelsen af de øvrige skadesindikatorer i UP, samt tab af markedsandel.
Based on the above, it is provisionally concluded that the low priced dumped imports from the PRC which significantly undercut the prices of the Community industry during the IP, and which also significantly increased in volume, have had a determining role in the injury suffered by the Community industry, which is reflected in its poor financial situation and in the deterioration of other injury indicators during the IP, as well as in loss of market share.
Andre faktorers følgevirkninger
Effect of other factors
Importen fra tredjelande, som ikke er berørt af denne undersøgelse, faldt 65 % i den betragtede periode, hvilket medførte en nedgang i markedsandelen fra 35-40 % i RÅ2005 til 10-15 % i UP.
The imports from third countries not concerned by this investigation decreased by 65 % in the period considered resulting in a market share drop from in the range of 35 % to 40 % in FY2005 to in the range of 10 % to 15 % in the IP.
Disse importpriser steg 20 % i den betragtede periode svarende til udviklingen i EF-erhvervsgrenens priser.
The prices of these imports increased by 20 % during the period considered which follows the trend of the Community industry's price development.
Udviklingen i importen fra tredjelande mellem RÅ2005 og UP fremgår af følgende, både for så vidt angår mængder og priser:
The trends in import volumes and prices from other third countries between FY2005 and IP were as follows:
Andre tredjelande
Other third country
Samlet import (tons)
Total imports (tonnes)
Gennemsnitspris for hele importen
Average price all imports
På baggrund af ovenstående blev det foreløbigt konkluderet, at importen fra andre tredjelande ikke brød årsagssammenhængen mellem den konstaterede dumpingimport fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, der var påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
On the basis of the above, it was provisionally concluded that imports from other third countries did not break the causal link between the dumping found and the material injury caused by the dumped imports from the PRC to the Community industry.
For så vidt angår udviklingen i efterspørgslen, faldt forbruget af MNG i Fællesskabet mellem RÅ2005 og UP.
As to the development of demand, the Community consumption of MSG decreased between FY2005 and IP.
Men da der kun var tale om et beskedent fald (– 4 %), kan det ikke forklare nedgangen i EF-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde på fællesskabsmarkedet, som var på 24 %.
This decrease, however, was not significant (– 4 %) and cannot explain the decrease in Community industry sales volume on the Community market which fell by 24 %.
Det skal understreges, at EF-erhvervsgrenen mistede 12,5 procentpoint af markedsandelen i den betragtede periode, og at salget blev erstattet af dumpingimport med oprindelse i Kina.
It has to be emphasised that, during the period considered, the Community industry lost 12,5 percentage points of its market share and these sales were replaced by dumped imports originating in the PRC.
EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater og produktivitet
Export performance and productivity of the Community industry
Visse interesserede parter hævdede, at EF-erhvervsgrenens dårlige eksportresultater kunne være årsag til den skade, der var forvoldt, men det skal bemærkes, at eksportsalget steg med over 50 % i den betragtede periode.
Contrary to the claims of some interested parties according to which the poor export performance of the Community industry might be the cause of the injury suffered, it should be noted that export sales increased by more than 50 % during the period considered.
Påstanden må derfor afvises.
The claim has therefore to be rejected.
For så vidt angår produktivitetsfaktoren, skal det bemærkes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen kunne reducere de faste omkostninger og arbejdsomkostningerne og øge produktiviteten pr. arbejdstager i den betragtede periode.
As to the productivity factor it should be noted that, during the period considered, the Community industry was able to reduce its fixed costs and labour costs and increased productivity per employee.
På baggrund af ovenstående har hverken EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater eller en påstået nedgang i produktiviteten medvirket til at forringe situationen i UP.
In view of the above, neither the export performance nor any alleged decrease in productivity of the Community industry has contributed to the deterioration of its situation in the IP.
Som bekendt skal undersøgelsen fastslå, om dumpingimporten (med hensyn til priser og mængde) har forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, eller om en sådan væsentlig skade kan skyldes andre faktorer.
It is recalled that the investigation has to establish whether the dumped imports (in terms of prices and volume) have caused material injury to the Community industry or whether such material injury was due to other factors.
Til dette formål sammenlignes de dumpede eksportpriser og EF-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser, og de eksportpriser, der anvendes til skadesberegningerne, skal i visse tilfælde omregnes til en anden valuta for at tilvejebringe et sammenligningsgrundlag.
For this purpose, the dumped export prices and the Community industry's sales prices are compared, and export prices used for the injury calculations may need in certain cases to be converted into another currency in order to have a comparable basis.
Det fremgår heraf, at vekselkursen principielt ikke kan udgøre en anden skadesfaktor.
From this, it becomes obvious that the exchange rate cannot in principle be another factor of injury.
Listen over de andre kendte faktorer i nævnte artikel indeholder ingen henvisning til faktorer, der påvirker dumpingimportens prisniveau.
The list of the other known factors in this Article does not make reference to any factor affecting the price level of the dumped imports.
Hvis importen foregår til dumpingpriser, og selv om den har nydt godt af en gunstig udvikling i vekselkurserne, så anses den gunstige udvikling i sådanne vekselkurser altså ikke for at kunne udgøre en anden skadesfaktor.
To summarise, if the imports are dumped, and even if they benefited from a favourable development of exchange rates, it is not considered that the development of such exchange rate could be another factor causing injury.
Analysen af de faktorer, der påvirker dumpingimportens prisniveau, f.eks. udsving i vekselkurserne, kan således ikke tillægges afgørende betydning, og en sådan analyse ville være mere vidtgående end det, der kræves i grundforordningen.
Thus, the analysis of the factors affecting the level of the prices of the dumped imports, such as the exchange rate fluctuations, cannot be conclusive and such analysis would go beyond the requirements of the basic Regulation.
Uanset ovenstående forholder det sig under alle omstændigheder sådan, at selv på basis af vekselkursen fra begyndelsen af RÅ2005 underbød importen fra Kina EF-erhvervsgrenens priser i betydeligt omfang.
In any event, and without prejudice to the above, even based on the exchange rate prevailing at the beginning of FY2005, imports from the PRC significantly undercut the prices of the Community industry.
Den store underbudsmargen kan derfor ikke forklares med ændringen i vekselkursen mellem euroen og USD i den betragtede periode.
Thus, this significant undercutting margin cannot be explained by the change in the exchange rate between the euro v USD in the period considered.
På baggrund af ovenstående blev det foreløbigt konkluderet, at styrkelsen af euroen i forhold til USD ikke er tilstrækkelig til at bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den væsentlige skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
In light of the above, it was provisionally concluded that the appreciation of the euro compared to the USD is not a factor sufficient to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Visse interesserede parter hævdede, at EF-erhvervsgrenen importerede MNG fra ikke-kinesiske forretningsmæssigt forbundne fabrikker uden for Fællesskabet, og at det havde en indvirkning på salget af de mængder MNG, der blev produceret i Fællesskabet.
Some interested parties have claimed that the Community industry imported MSG from its non-Chinese related factories located outside the Community which has had an impact on its sales volumes of MSG produced in the Community.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenen omlagde salgsstrukturen/kanalerne i Fællesskabet efter erhvervelsen af Orsan.
The investigation showed that after the acquisition of Orsan, the Community industry reorganised its sales structure/channels in the Community.
Næsten hele den mængde MNG, EF-erhvervsgrenen solgte på fællesskabsmarkedet i UP, var produceret af den eneste EF-producent.
Almost all the MSG sold on the Community market by the Community industry in the IP was produced by the sole Community producer.
Salget på fællesskabsmarkedet af MNG fra eksportører, som var forretningsmæssigt forbundne med EF-erhvervsgrenen, i lande uden for Fællesskabet, reduceredes støt og betydeligt i den betragtede periode.
Sales of MSG on the Community market originating from exporters related to the Community industry in countries outside the Community were constantly and significantly reduced over the period considered.
Visse interesserede parter fremførte endvidere, at EF-erhvervsgrenen eller andre selskaber i Ajinomoto-koncernen er forretningsmæssigt forbundet med kinesiske MNG-producenter, som eksporterer den pågældende vare til Fællesskabet.
Some interested parties also argued that the Community industry itself or other companies of the Ajinomoto Group are related to Chinese MSG producers that export the product concerned to the Community.
Det hævdedes, at eksport til Fællesskabet fra de forretningsmæssigt forbundne selskaber forårsagede den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervgrenen.
It has been claimed that exports to the Community by these related companies have caused the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Det hævdedes endvidere, at Ajinomoto-koncernen selv er ansvarlig for de kinesiske eksportørers prispolitik.
It has also been claimed that it is the Ajinomoto Group itself which is responsible for the price policies of these Chinese exporters.
Undersøgelsen viste, at forbindelsen til et kinesisk selskab, som hævdedes at være forretningsmæssigt forbundet med Ajinomoto-koncernen, ophørte før UP.
The investigation showed that in the case of one Chinese company allegedly related to the Ajinomoto Group, this relationship ceased to exist before the IP.
Endvidere viste selskabets eksportsalg til Fællesskabet i årene før UP sig at være af ubetydeligt omfang.
Moreover, the export sales of this company to the Community in the years preceding the IP were found to be negligible.
I forbindelse med to andre kinesiske MNG-producenter, som var forretningsmæssigt forbundet med den eneste EF-producent, viste det sig, at deres eksport til Fællesskabet i UP var af ubetydeligt omfang.
In the case of two other Chinese MSG producers related to the sole Community producer, it was established that their exports to the Community in the IP were insignificant.
Det forhold, at Ajinomoto-gruppen kan have været ansvarlig for selskabernes prispolitik, blev ikke anset for relevant i denne forbindelse.
In this regard, the fact that the Ajinomoto Group may have been responsible for the price policies of these companies was not considered relevant.
Det blev derfor foreløbigt konkluderet, at EF-erhvervsgrenens import fra forretningsmæssigt forbundne parter uden for Fællesskabet ikke har bidraget til den væsentlige skade, der er påført dem.
Therefore, it was provisionally concluded that the imports of the Community industry from related parties outside the Community have not contributed to the material injury suffered by them.
Ny markedsordning for sukker
New sugar regime
Visse interesserede parters påstand om, at Fællesskabets nye markedsordning for sukker (og den deraf følgende stigning i sukkerpriserne) skulle have en negativ indvirkning på EF-erhvervsgrenens produktionsomkostninger, blev ikke bekræftet.
The allegation made by certain interested parties concerning the negative impact of the new Communities' sugar regime (and the increase of sugar prices resulting therefrom) on the production costs of the Community industry was not confirmed.
Undersøgelsen har vist, at EF-erhvervsgrenen drog fordel af langsigtede aftaler, som blev indgået en rum tid inden gennemførelsen af den nye ordning, og som sikrede en lav indkøbspris for sukker i det meste af den betragtede periode.
The investigation has shown that the Community industry benefited from long-term agreements signed well before the implementation of the new regime which ensured that their sugar purchase price was low throughout most of the period considered.
I den anden halvdel af UP, efter gennemførelsen af den nye markedsordning for sukker, steg indkøbsprisen for sukker lidt, men virkningen blev delvis udlignet, fordi gæringsteknologien nu er blevet mere effektiv.
In the second part of the IP, following the implementation of the new sugar regime, the sugar purchase price increased slightly but this impact was partially counter-balanced by the development of more efficient fermentation technology.
Gæringsudbyttet steg i UP og er højt sammenlignet med, hvad kinesiske producenter opnår i gennemsnit.
The fermentation yield increased in the IP and is high compared to that achieved on average by Chinese producers.
Det vil sige, at EF-producenter har brug for væsentligt mindre sukker pr. ton MNG end kinesiske producenter.
This means that per tonne of MSG, the Community producer requires substantially less sugar compared to the needs of the Chinese producers.
Forskel på råmaterialer
Difference in basic raw materials
I Fællesskabet fremstilles MNG af sukkermelasse, mens det i Kina fremstilles af majs- eller risstivelse.
MSG in the Community is produced from sugar molasses while in China it is produced from corn or rice starch.
Visse interesserede parter hævdede, at prisudviklingen for disse råmaterialer kunne have givet de kinesiske producenter en fordel.
Some interested parties claimed that the evolution of prices of these raw materials might have given a comparative advantage to the Chinese producers.
Sammenlignes omkostningerne til de råmaterialer, der er brug for til at fremstille den samme mængde MNG, viser det sig dog, at det er en fordel at producere MNG af melasse.
However, a comparison of the costs of raw materials needed to produce the same quantity of MSG indicates that there is a comparative advantage for producing MSG from molasses.
Foreliggende oplysninger tyder endda på, at fordelen blev endnu større i UP på grund af den kraftige stigning i majspriserne, både internationalt og på det kinesiske marked.
On the basis of available information, there are indications that this comparative advantage has even been strengthened during the IP by the steep increase of corn prices, both internationally and on the Chinese market.
Men på grund af de kinesiske dumpingvarer gav denne fordel sig ikke udslag i en større markedsandel for MNG af melasse, fremstillet af EF-erhvervsgrenen.
However, due to the dumping of Chinese products, this comparative advantage failed to generate gains of market share for MSG produced from molasses by the Community industry.
Det blev derfor foreløbigt konkluderet, at forskellen på de råmaterialer, som EF-erhvervsgrenen og de eksporterende producenter i Kina anvender, ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, der er påført EF-erhvervsgrenen.
Therefore, it was provisionally concluded that the difference in raw materials used by the Community industry compared to that used by the Chinese exporting producers did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Ovenstående analyse har vist, at der var en omfattende stigning i mængde og markedsandel for dumpingimporten med oprindelse i Kina mellem RÅ2005 og UP, såvel som et højt prisunderbudsniveau i UP.
The above analysis has demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in volume and market share of the dumped imports originating in the PRC between FY2005 and the IP, together with a high level of price undercutting during the IP.
Stigningen i markedsandelen for lavprisimporten fra Kina faldt sammen med et betydeligt fald i EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel, hvilket sammen med pristrykket bl.a. førte til store tab for EF-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode.
This increase in market share of the low priced imports from the PRC coincided with a significant drop in market share of the Community industry, which, together with the downward pressure on prices, resulted, inter alia, in substantial losses of the Community industry during the period considered.
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 det pågældende land 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 countries concerned have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
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 determination of the Community interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Community industry, the raw material suppliers, the importers and the users of the product concerned.
EF-erhvervsgrenen består af en enkelt producent i Frankrig.
The Community industry is composed of one sole producer located in France.
