Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 393/2009
Council Regulation (EC) No 393/2009
om indførelse af en endelig antidumpingtold og om endelig opkrævning af den midlertidige antidumpingtold på importen af visse stearin-, paraffin- og vokslys samt lignende varer med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain candles, tapers and the like originating in the People’s Republic of China
Kommissionen indførte ved forordning (EF) nr. 1130/2008 af 14. november 2008 om indførelse af en midlertidig antidumpingtold på importen af visse stearin-, paraffin- og vokslys samt lignende varer med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina [2] (herefter benævnt »forordningen om midlertidig told«) en midlertidig antidumpingtold på importen af visse stearin-, paraffin- og vokslys samt lignende varer med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina (herefter benævnt »Kina«).
The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 1130/2008 of 14 November 2008 imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain candles, tapers and the like originating in the People’s Republic of China [2] (the ‘provisional Regulation’) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain candles, tapers and the like originating in the People’s Republic of China (PRC).
Efter fremlæggelse af de væsentligste kendsgerninger og betragtninger, der lå til grund for beslutningen om at indføre midlertidige antidumpingforanstaltninger (herefter benævnt »fremlæggelse af de foreløbige konklusioner«), indgav adskillige interesserede parter skriftlige redegørelser for at tilkendegive deres synspunkter vedrørende de foreløbige konklusioner.
Subsequent to the disclosure of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was decided to impose provisional anti-dumping measures (provisional disclosure), several interested parties made written submissions making their views known on the provisional findings.
Kommissionen fortsatte med at indhente og efterprøve alle de oplysninger, som den anså for nødvendige for at træffe endelig afgørelse i sagen.
The Commission continued to seek and verify all information it deemed necessary for its definitive findings.
Kommissionen fortsatte sin undersøgelse vedrørende Fællesskabets interesser og foretog yderligere analyser af oplysningerne fra importører, detailhandlere og handelssammenslutninger i Fællesskabet efter indførelsen af midlertidige antidumpingforanstaltninger.
The Commission continued its investigation with regard to Community interest aspects and carried out further analyses of information provided by importers, retailers and trade associations in the Community after the imposition of the provisional anti-dumping measures.
Der blev taget stilling til de mundtlige og skriftlige bemærkninger fra parterne, og de foreløbige undersøgelseskonklusioner blev, hvor det var relevant, ændret i overensstemmelse hermed.
The oral and written comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and, where appropriate, the provisional findings were modified accordingly.
Der blev i den forbindelse aflagt kontrolbesøg hos følgende virksomheder:
To this end further verification visits were carried out at the following companies:
Ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne EF-importører:
Unrelated importers in the Community:
Salco Group PLC, Essex, Det Forenede Kongerige
Salco Group PLC, Essex, UK
Der blev desuden aflagt kontrolbesøg hos de virksomheder, der er nævnt i betragtning 31.
Verification visits were also carried out at the premises of the companies mentioned in recital 31.
Alle parter blev underrettet om de væsentligste kendsgerninger og betragtninger, der lå til grund for, at det påtænktes at anbefale, at der indføres en endelig antidumpingtold på importen af visse stearin-, paraffin- og vokslys samt lignende varer med oprindelse i Kina, og at der foretages en endelig opkrævning af de beløb, for hvilke der er stillet sikkerhed i form af midlertidig told.
All parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of definitive anti-dumping measures on imports of certain candles, tapers and the like originating in the PRC and the definitive collection of the amounts secured by way of the provisional duty.
Undersøgelsen af dumping og skade omfattede perioden fra 1. januar 2007 til 31. december 2007 (herefter benævnt »undersøgelsesperioden« eller »UP«).
It is recalled that the investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 January 2007 to 31 December 2007 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Hvad angår de relevante tendenser for skadesvurderingen, undersøgte Kommissionen oplysninger for perioden fra 2004 til udgangen af UP (herefter benævnt »den betragtede periode«).
With respect to the trends relevant for the injury assessment, the Commission analysed data covering the period from 2004 to the end of the IP (period considered).
En række interesserede parter påstod, at valget af 2007 som UP var uhensigtsmæssigt, idet visse begivenheder, såsom ændret eksportstøtte og arbejdsmarkedspolitik i Kina, svingninger i valutakurserne i 2007 og 2008, spillede en rolle i skadesanalysen.
Some interested parties argued that the choice of the year 2007 as investigation period was flawed because certain events, such as changing export subsidy and labour policies of the PRC, and fluctuations in exchange rates, which took place in 2007 and 2008, played a role in the injury analysis.
Det skal bemærkes, at UP, jf. grundforordningens artikel 6, stk. 1, skal omfatte en periode, som ligger umiddelbart forud for indledningen af proceduren.
It should be noted that according to Article 6(1) of the basic Regulation, the investigation period should cover a period immediately prior to the initiation of the proceeding.
En interesseret part anfægtede den procentangivelse, der er nævnt i betragtning 2 i forordningen om midlertidig told, som angiver klagernes andel af den samlede EF-produktion.
One interested party contested the percentage mentioned in recital 2 of the provisional Regulation which represents the complainants in terms of total Community production.
Efter behandling af påstanden skal det bemærkes, at procentangivelsen på 60 % i betragtning 2 i forordningen om midlertidig told refererer til den samlede støtte til undersøgelsen, herunder de klagende og de EF-producenter, der støttede klagen og indvilligede i at samarbejde i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, og ikke til den procentdel af EF-produktionen, der udgjordes af klagerne alene.
After examination of the claim, it should be noted that the figure of 60 % indicated in recital 2 of the provisional Regulation refers to the overall support for the investigation, including complainants and Community producers who supported the complaint and agreed to cooperate in the investigation, rather than to the percentage of the Community production covered by the complainants only.
Dette bekræftes i betragtning 92 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
This is confirmed by recital 92 of the provisional Regulation.
Procentangivelsen i betragtning 2 i forordningen om midlertidig told ændres derfor til »34 %«.
As to the percentage in recital 2 of the provisional Regulation, this should read ‘34 %’.
Den pågældende vare blev foreløbigt defineret som visse stearin-, paraffin- og vokslys samt lignende varer, undtagen gravlys og andre udelys, som eksporteres til Fællesskabet, med oprindelse i Kina (herefter benævnt »stearinlys« eller »den pågældende vare«).
The product concerned was provisionally defined as certain candles, tapers and the like, other than memory lights and other outdoor burners, exported to the Community and originating in the PRC (‘candles’ or ‘product concerned’).
Med henblik på indførelsen af de midlertidige foranstaltninger blev det konkluderet, at alle typer stearinlys, som indgår i definitionen af den pågældende vare, har de samme grundlæggende kemiske og tekniske egenskaber og anvendelsesformål og i vidt omfang er ombyttelige, selv om de kan afvige i størrelse, form, farve og andre egenskaber såsom f.eks. duft.
For the purpose of imposing provisional measures, although the various types of candles could differ in size, shape, colour, and other features such as scent, etc., it was considered that all the types of candles included in the definition of the product concerned share the same basic chemical and technical characteristics and uses and they would be to a large extent interchangeable.
Bemærkninger fra interesserede parter berettigede ikke på daværende tidspunkt, at visse typer stearinlys, navnlig de såkaldt »fancy« eller »dekorative« stearinlys, skulle udelukkes fra undersøgelsen.
Comments made at that time by interested parties did not justify the exclusion of certain types of candles from the scope of the investigation, in particular the so-called ‘fancy’ or ‘decorative’ candles.
Der blev ikke fremsat bemærkninger vedrørende egenskaber, der kunne have gjort det muligt klart at adskille de forskellige typer stearinlys, der burde medtages i eller udelukkes fra undersøgelsen.
The parties did not make any submission identifying dividing features which would have allowed to clearly distinguishing between the various types of candles which should be included and those which should be excluded from the scope of the investigation.
Undersøgelsen pegede desuden ikke som påstået på særlige problemer med dumping og skade i de undersøgte virksomheder i stikprøven, der varierede væsentligt afhængigt af stearinlysenes type.
In addition, contrary to certain claims, the investigation did not point to findings of dumping and injury within the sampled companies investigated varying significantly according to the types of candles.
Det blev derfor midlertidigt konkluderet, at alle stearinlystyper i denne undersøgelse tilhørte den samme varegruppe og skulle indgå i undersøgelsen.
It was therefore provisionally considered that all candle types covered by the present investigation were part of the same product and should be covered by the investigation.
Efter indførelsen af de midlertidige foranstaltninger blev det igen påstået, at eksporterende producenter i Kina i vidt omfang producerede håndlavede eller dekorative stearinlys med supplerende raffinerede teknikker.
Following the imposition of provisional measures, it was claimed again that exporting producers in the PRC were producing to a large extent handmade or decorative candles with further refining operations.
Det blev gentaget, at disse typer er arbejdsintensive, og at de produceres i begrænsede mængder af EF-producenter.
It was repeated that they were labour-intensive and that they were produced in limited quantities by Community producers.
Det blev endvidere gentaget, at forbrugernes opfattelse af dekorative stearinlys var anderledes end deres opfattelse af klassiske og standardtyper af stearinlys.
It was also reiterated that the customer perception towards decorative candles was different compared to classical and standard types of candles.
Det blev eksempelvis påstået, at dekorative typer modsat klassiske stearinlys ikke er beregnet til at brændes eller anvendes til at frembringe varme, men er beregnet som dekorationsgenstande i uændret stand længst muligt.
For example, it was argued that unlike classical candles, decorative types are not destined to be burned or used to provide heat but were intended to be kept as decorative items as long as possible unaltered.
Det blev desuden påstået, at det ville være relativt let at adskille dekorative stearinlys fra andre typer stearinlys, såsom fyrfadslys og kertelys, idet dekorative stearinlys mindst har en af følgende egenskaber: i) er flerfarvede og har flere lag ii) har særlige former iii) har udskårne overflader med dekorationer og iv) har supplerende dekorationer i andre materialer end voks/paraffin.
It was also claimed that it would be relatively easy to discern decorative candles from other types of candles, such as tea lights and tapered candles, taking into account that decorative candles have at least one of the following features: (i) are multicoloured and have multiple layers; (ii) have special shapes; (iii) have carved surface with decorations and (iv) have additional decorations of material other than wax/paraffin.
Andre interesserede parter påstod, at »fødselsdagslys« ikke produceres i Fællesskabet, men næsten udelukkende i Kina, og derfor burde udelukkes fra denne procedure.
Other interested parties claimed that ‘birthday’ candles are not manufactured in the Community but almost exclusively in the PRC and should therefore also be excluded from the present proceeding.
Det blev desuden påstået, at de såkaldte fyrfadslys kunne erstatte stearinlys med henblik på at producere lys, men at andre typer stearinlys ikke kan erstatte fyrfadslys med henblik på at producere varme.
It was also argued that the so-called tea lights could replace candles for the purpose of producing light, but other types of candles could not replace tea lights for the purpose of producing heat.
Disse to varetyper er altså ikke helt ombyttelige, sådan som det er tilfældet for gravlys og andre udelys, som ikke indgår i den pågældende vare, og andre typer stearinlys, herunder fyrfadslys.
Therefore these two product types would lack interchangeability as is the case between memory lights and other outdoor burners which are not part of the product concerned and other types of candles, including tea lights.
Det blev derfor påstået, at fyrfadslys også burde udelukkes fra proceduren.
Consequently it was claimed that tea lights should also be excluded from the present proceeding.
Hvad angår påstanden om dekorative stearinlys, er de adskillende egenskaber, der fremføres af parterne, meget generelle og vil ikke gøre det muligt at foretage en tydelig sondring mellem de typer stearinlys, der skal medtages i undersøgelsen, og dem, der skal udelukkes og ikke være omfattet af foranstaltningerne.
Concerning the claim on decorative candles, the distinguishing features mentioned by the parties are very general and would not allow for a clear distinction to be made between the types of candles which should be included and those that should be excluded from the scope of the investigation and not made subject to measures.
Mange standardtyper stearinlys har flere farver, og de kan have særlige former eller flere ekstra dekorationer, for eksempel til forskellige højtider i løbet af året.
Many standard types of candles have more than one colour, they may have a specific shape or one or more additional decorations, for example on the occasion of specific celebrations during the year.
Desuden ville det ud fra de oplysninger, som parterne havde fremlagt, og som blev indsamlet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, navnlig om varetypernes og varekontrolnumrenes definition, ikke altid være muligt at foretage en klar opdeling mellem de forskellige typer stearinlys på grundlag af ovennævnte egenskaber.
In addition, the information provided by the parties and collected in the investigation, in particular on the product types and the product control numbers as they were defined, would not always allow for a clear distinction between the various types of candles based on the above-mentioned features.
Det skal først bemærkes, at visse typer stearinlys ikke automatisk udelukkes fra definitionen af den pågældende vare, blot fordi denne type angiveligt ikke fremstilles af EF-producenterne.
It should be firstly noted that the fact that certain product types are, allegedly, not produced by Community producers would not automatically lead to the exclusion of these types from the definition of the product concerned.
Dernæst kan det ikke udelukkes, at visse typer stearinlys ikke produceres af EF-producenterne som følge af skadevoldende dumping.
Secondly, it cannot be ruled out that certain types of candles are not produced by Community producers because of injurious dumping.
For så vidt angår de såkaldte fødselsdagslys, fremlagde parterne ingen dokumentation for, at denne type stearinlys faktisk ikke produceres i Fællesskabet, og de uddybede heller ikke årsagerne til, at disse stearinlys ikke produceres i Fællesskabet.
In the case of the so-called birthday candles, the parties concerned did not provide any evidence that these types of candles were actually not produced in the Community, nor did they explain the reasons why such candles would not be produced in the Community.
Desuden er der ingen tydelig forskel mellem fødselsdagslys og andre typer stearinlys, som kunne medføre en eventuel udelukkelse af disse varetyper, som det er tilfældet for dekorative stearinlys.
In addition, as is the case for the decorative candles, no clear dividing lines between the birthday candles and the other types of candles were provided to allow an eventual exclusion of these product types.
Disse bemærkninger vedrørte også de såkaldte håndlavede stearinlys.
These comments are also valid for the so-called handmade candles.
Det skal bemærkes, at påstanden om, at der ikke produceres håndlavede stearinlys i Fællesskabet, ikke er korrekt, jf. betragtning 26.
It is noteworthy that, as mentioned in recital 26, the claim that handmade candles are not produced in the Community was not correct.
Vedrørende påstanden om anvendelsen af visse typer stearinlys, navnlig til at producere lys og/eller varme, skal det erindres, at det i betragtning 26 i forordningen om midlertidig told nævnes, at visse typer er ombyttelige, og at stearinlys overvejende anvendes til indendørs dekoration og ikke med det hovedformål at producere varme.
Concerning the claim made on the use of certain candles types, namely to produce light and/or heat, it is recalled that in recital 26 of the provisional Regulation it was mentioned that interchangeability between various types of candles existed and that candles were largely used for interior decoration purposes and not for the main purpose of producing heat.
Parterne fremlagde ingen oplysninger, der kunne bestride denne påstand.
No information which would contradict this statement was provided by parties.
Hvad angår påstandene vedrørende gravlys og udelys, skal det bekræftes, at disse varer kan adskilles fra andre typer stearinlys på baggrund af de tekniske og kemiske kriterier, jf. betragtning 17 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Concerning the claims made on memory lights and outdoor candles, it is confirmed that these products can be distinguished from other types of candles on the basis of the technical and chemical criteria mentioned in recital 17 of the provisional Regulation.
Kort sagt blev det konkluderet, at parternes påstande ikke var tilstrækkeligt specifikke og ikke omfattede dokumentation som bevis for, at den pågældende vare ikke var korrekt defineret i den midlertidige forordning.
In summary, it was considered that the claims made by the parties were not sufficiently specific and were not supported by substantiating evidence showing that the product concerned was not correctly defined in the provisional Regulation.
Det skal erindres, at samtlige typer stearinlys, der udgør den pågældende vare, har de samme grundlæggende kemiske og tekniske egenskaber.
It is recalled that all types of candles included in the product concerned share the same basic chemical and technical characteristics.
Det blev desuden konstateret, at stearinlysene i denne procedure havde de samme eller lignende anvendelsesformål og i vidt omfang er ombyttelige.
In addition, in the present case, it was found that candles had the same or similar uses and that they are in many instances interchangeable.
De produceres af stearinlysproducenter i Kina og eksporteres via de samme salgskanaler og er derfor omfattet af den samme vare.
They are produced by candle producers in the PRC and exported via the same sales channels and are thus part of the same product.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger vedrørende definitionen af den pågældende vare, bekræftes betragtning 15 til 23 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the absence of any further comments concerning the definition of the product concerned, recitals 15 to 23 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
En række parter anfægtede konklusionerne i betragtning 28 i forordningen om midlertidig told, hvor de kriterier, der anvendes til fastlæggelsen af begrebet »samme vare«, overvejende er baseret på de tekniske og kemiske egenskaber samt varens slutanvendelse eller funktioner.
Certain parties contested the findings made in recital 28 of the provisional Regulation where the criteria applied in the determination of the ‘like product’ were mainly based on the technical and chemical characteristics, as well as the end uses or functions of the product.
Andre faktorer som form, duft, farve eller andre aspekter fremført af den interesserede part blev ikke anset for relevante i forbindelse med definition af den samme vare.
Other factors, such as the shape, scent, colour or other features stated by the interested party, were not considered to be relevant for the definition of the like product.
Eventuelle forskelle i størrelse har nemlig ingen betydning for definitionen af den pågældende vare og den samme vare, navnlig da der ikke klart kan skelnes mellem varetyper, der tilhører den samme vare, med hensyn til de vigtigste tekniske og kemiske egenskaber, slutanvendelse og brugernes opfattelse af varen.
Indeed, possible variations in terms of size have no incidence on the definition of the product concerned and the like product, in particular because no clear distinction could be made between the product types belonging to the same product in relation to their main basic technical and chemical characteristics, to the end use and to the perception of the users.
Det skal i den forbindelse understreges, at parterne ikke anfægtede det forhold, at alle typer stearinlys har de samme grundlæggende kemiske og tekniske egenskaber, eller at alle typer stearinlys produceres af det samme råmateriale, hovedsagelig voks, eller at de produceres af de samme producenter og sælges via de samme salgskanaler til eksport eller til lignende kunder på EF-markedet.
In this context, it should be underlined that the parties did not contest the fact that all types of candles share the same basic chemical and technical characteristics or that all types of candles are all made of the same raw material, mainly wax, that they are produced by the same producers and upon export they are sold via the same sales channels or to similar customers on the Community market.
De interesserede parters vigtigste påstande var baseret på, at de typer stearinlys, der produceres i Kina og eksporteres til Fællesskabet, ikke er mage til de typer, der fremstilles i Fællesskabet af EF-producenterne.
The main arguments made by interested parties relied on the fact that the types of candles produced in the PRC and exported to the Community are not like the types manufactured in the Community by Community producers.
Alle disse påstande blev omhyggeligt undersøgt, men indeholdt ingen nye væsentlige elementer i forhold til de påstande, der blev fremsat og behandlet i den foreløbige fase.
All claims were carefully examined, but did not provide any new substantial element in comparison to the claims made and addressed at the provisional stage.
Den påstand, der er fremsat i betragtning 14, vedrørende definitionen af den pågældende vare, blev ligeledes fremsat i forbindelse med den samme vare.
The claim stated in recital 14 for the definition of the product concerned was also made in the context of the like product.
Det blev påstået, at de eksporterende producenter i Kina i vidt omfang producerer håndlavede eller arbejdsintensive dekorationslys med supplerende raffinerede teknikker og i forskellige former, som ikke produceres eller produceres i begrænsede mængder af EF-producenterne.
It was argued that exporting producers in the PRC produce to a large extent handmade, or labour-intensive decorative candles with further refining operations and various different shapes which are not produced or are produced in limited quantities by Community producers.
Det blev samtidig påstået, at disse typer stearinlys ikke er mage til de stearinlys, der fremstilles af EF-producenterne.
Hence, it was claimed that these types of candles are not like those produced by Community producers.
