EU-erhvervsgrenens produktivitet målt som årlig produktion (i tons) pr. ansat steg med 12 % i den betragtede periode.
Productivity of the Union producers’ workforce, measured as output (tonnes) per person employed per year, increased by 12 % in the period considered.
Dette skyldes, at produktionen faldt i et langsommere tempo end beskæftigelsesniveauet og viser EU-producenternes øgede effektivitet.
This reflects the fact that production decreased at a lower pace than the employment level and is an indication of increased efficiency by the Union producers.
Dette ses især tydeligt i 2007, hvor produktionen steg, mens beskæftigelsesniveauet faldt, og produktiviteten var 21 % højere end i 2006.
This is particularly obvious in 2007 when production increased while the employment level decreased and the productivity was 21 % higher than in 2006.
EU-producenternes årlige gennemsnitssalgspriser på EU-markedet til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder var stabile i perioden mellem 2006 og 2008 og lå på ca. 1100 EUR pr. ton.
The annual average sales prices of the Union producers on the EU market to unrelated customers remained stable between 2006 and 2008 at around 1100 EUR per tonne.
I UP faldt de årlige gennemsnitssalgspriser med 12 % og lå på 977 EUR pr. ton.
In the IP the annual average sale price decreased by 12 % and reached 977 EUR per tonne.
De årlige gennemsnitssalgspriser afspejler ikke de månedlige eller endda daglige udsving for PET på EU-markedet (og verdensmarkedet), men betragtes som tilstrækkelige til at vise tendensen i den betragtede periode.
The annual average sales price does not reflect the monthly or even daily price fluctuations of the PET on the European (and world) market, but is considered sufficient to show the trend during the period considered.
Salgspriserne for PET følger sædvanligvis pristendensen for de vigtige råvarer (hovedsagelig PTA og MEG), da de udgør op til 80 % af de samlede omkostninger til PET.
The sales prices of PET normally follow the price trends of its main raw materials (mainly PTA and MEG) as they constitute up to 80 % of the total cost of PET.
Som det fremgår af ovenstående blev EU-erhvervsgrenen underbudt af den subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande.
As indicated above, the sales prices of the Union industry were undercut by the subsidised imports from the countries concerned.
Subsidiemargenens størrelse og genrejsning fra tidligere dumping og subsidiering
Magnitude of the subsidy margin and recovery from past dumping and subsidisation
I betragtning af mængden af, markedsandelen for og priserne på de pågældende landes import kan den faktiske subsidiemargens virkning for EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke anses for ubetydelig.
Given the volume, market share and prices of the imports from the countries concerned, the impact on the Union industry of the actual margins of subsidy cannot be considered to be negligible.
Der skal mindes om, at der siden 2000 har været indført antidumpingforanstaltninger over for importen af PET fra Indien, Indonesien, Republikken Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan og Thailand, og siden 2004 fra Folkerepublikken Kina.
It is important to recall that since 2000, there have been anti-dumping measures in force against imports of PET from India, Indonesia, the Republic of Korea, Malaysia, Taiwan, Thailand and since 2004 against the People’s Republic of China.
Der har desuden siden 2000 været indført udligningsforanstaltninger over for importen fra Indien.
There have also been countervailing measures against imports from India since 2000.
Da EU-erhvervsgrenen i den periode, der betragtes i denne undersøgelse, mistede markedsandele og forværrede sit tab, kan der ikke drages konklusioner om egentlig genrejsning efter tidligere dumping og subsidiering, og det konkluderes, at EU-produktionen fortsat er udsat for den skadevoldende virkning af enhver subsidieret import til EU-markedet.
Given that in the period considered by this investigation the Union industry lost market share and increased their losses, no actual recovery from the past dumping and subsidisation can be established and it is considered that Union production remains vulnerable to the injurious effect of any subsidised imports in the Union market.
Slutlagrene hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven faldt med 22 % mellem 2006 og UP.
The level of closing stocks of the sampled producers decreased between 2006 and the IP by 22 %.

Rentabiliten for det salg af samme vare, som producenterne i stikprøven havde til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder på EU-markedet, udtrykt som procentdel af nettosalget, forblev i den betragtede periode negativ, og den faldt endda fra -6,9 % til -7,5 %.
During the period considered, the profitability of the sampled producers’ sales of the like product on the EU market to unrelated customers, expressed as a percentage of net sales, remained negative and even dropped from – 6,9 % to – 7,5 %.
Rentabilitetssituationen hos producenterne i stikprøven forbedredes i 2007, hvor nettotabet kun var på -1,5 % af nettosalget, men faldt markant i 2008 til -9,3 %.
More specifically, the situation with regard to profitability of the sampled producers improved in 2007 when net losses accounted only – 1,5 % of net sales, but losses increased sharply in 2008 to – 9,3 %.
Situationen forbedredes en anelse i UP.
The situation slightly improved in the IP.

Generelt forblev investeringsafkastet negativt og forværredes med 2,7 procentpoint i den betragtede periode.
Overall, the return on investments remained negative and deteriorated by 2,7 percentage points over the period considered.
Overordnet set forbedredes likviditeten i den betragtede periode, selv om den forblev negativ.
Overall, cash flow improved in the period considered although it remained negative.
Der var ingen tegn på, at EU-erhvervsgrenen havde vanskeligt ved at rejse kapital, hvilket især skyldes, at visse af producenterne indgår i større koncerner.
There were no indications that the Union industry encountered difficulties in raising capital, mainly due to the fact that some of the producers are incorporated in larger groups.
Dette markante fald i investeringerne kan i et vist omfang forklares ved, at der i 2006 og 2007 blev etableret nye produktionslinjer med henblik på at øge kapaciteten.
This sharp drop in investments can be partially explained by the fact that in 2006 and 2007 new production lines were acquired aiming at increasing capacity.
Analysen af de makroøkonomiske data viser, at EU-producenterne havde et fald i produktion og salg i den betragtede periode.
The analysis of the macroeconomic data show that the Union producers decreased their production and sales during the period considered.
Selv om det konstaterede fald ikke i sig selv var dramatisk, skal det ses i sammenhæng med den øgede efterspørgsel i perioden mellem 2006 og UP, som resulterede i et fald i EU-producenternes markedsandel på 10 procentpoint til 75 %.
Although the observed decrease was not dramatic as such, it needs to be seen in the context of increased demand between 2006 and the IP, which resulted in the Union producers’ market share dropping by 10 percentage points to 75 %.
Samtidig viser de relevante mikroøkonomiske indikatorer en tydelig forværring af den økonomiske situation hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven.
At the same time the relevant microeconomic indicators show a clear deterioration of the economic situation of the sampled Union producers.
Rentabiliteten og investeringsafkastet var hele tiden negative og faldt yderligere mellem 2006 og UP.
The profitability and return on investment remained negative and they overall declined further between 2006 and the IP.
Likviditeten var også negativ i UP til trods for en generelt positiv udvikling.
The cash flow, despite an overall positive development, also remained negative in the IP.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderes det foreløbigt, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 4.
In the light of the foregoing, it is provisionally concluded that the Union industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 5 og 6, undersøgte Kommissionen, om den subsidierede import havde forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen skade i et omfang, der kan betegnes som væsentligt.
In accordance with Article 8(5) and Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the subsidised imports have caused injury to the Union industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
Andre kendte faktorer end den subsidierede import, der samtidig kunne have tilføjet EU-erhvervsgrenen skade, blev også undersøgt for at sikre, at en eventuel skade forårsaget af disse andre faktorer ikke blev tilskrevet den subsidierede import.
Known factors other than the subsidised imports, which could at the same time have injured the Union industry, were also examined to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the subsidised imports.
Mellem 2006 og UP mere end femdobledes mængden af subsidieret import af den pågældende vare til 304200 tons, og markedsandelen steg med næsten 8 procentpoint (fra 2,1 % til 10,2 %).
Between 2006 and the IP, the volume of the subsidised imports of the product concerned increased by more than 5 times to 304200 tonnes, and their market share increased by almost 8 percentage points (from 2,1 % to 10,2 %).
Samtidig mistede EU-erhvervsgrenen næsten 10 procentpoint af sin markedsandel (fra 84,9 % til 72,1 %).
At the same time, the Union industry lost some 10 percentage points of market share (from 84,9 % to 72,1 %).
Den gennemsnitlige pris på denne import faldt mellem 2006 og UP og forblev betydeligt lavere end EU-producenternes gennemsnitspris.
The average price of these imports decreased between 2006 and the IP and remained lower than the average price of Union producers.
Prisunderbuddet som følge af den subsidierede import var, jf. betragtning 217, på 3,2 % i gennemsnit.
As indicated above at recital (217), price undercutting of the subsidised imports was on average 3,2 %.
Selv om prisunderbuddet var på under 4 %, kan det ikke betragtes som ubetydeligt, da PET er en råvare, og da der især konkurreres på prisen.
Even if the price undercutting was below 4 %, it cannot be considered as insignificant given that PET is a commodity and competition takes place mainly via price.
Den iranske eksportør påstod, at importen af PET fra Iran ikke kunne have forårsaget EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, da omfanget af denne import kun lå en anelse over bagatelgrænsen for import.
The Iranian exporter claimed that Iranian PET imports could not have caused material injury to the Union industry in view of the fact that these import levels would only marginally exceed the de minimis threshold for imports.
Importen fra Iran i UP svarede imidlertid til en markedsandel på 1,9 % og oversteg derfor bagatelgrænsen i grundforordningen.
However, during the IP, imports from Iran, corresponding to a market share of 1.9 %, exceeded the de minimis threshold specified in the basic Regulation.
De iranske importpriser underbød desuden EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser.
In addition, Iranian import prices were undercutting the Union industry’s sales prices.
På denne baggrund afvises den iranske eksportørs påstand.
Against this background, the argument raised by the Iranian exporter is rejected.
Da EU-erhvervsgrenens priser blev underbudt af importen fra de pågældende lande, konkluderes det, at denne subsidierede import medførte et negativt pres på priserne, som forhindrede EU-erhvervsgrenen i at bevare sine salgspriser på det niveau, der var nødvendigt for at dække omkostningerne og opnå fortjeneste.
In view of the undercutting of Union industry’s prices by imports from the countries concerned, it is considered that these subsidised imports exerted a downward pressure on prices, preventing the Union industry from keeping its sales prices to a level that would have been necessary to cover its costs and to realise a profit.
Det konkluderes derfor, at der er en klar årsagssammenhæng mellem denne import og den skade, EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Therefore, it is considered that a causal link exists between those imports and the Union industry’s injury.
En interesseret part påstod, at eventuel skade skyldtes EU-producenternes ringe eksportaktivitet.
One interested party claimed that any injury was due to the poor export activity of the Union producers.
Som det fremgår af nedenstående tabel, steg EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportmængde i den betragtede periode med 11 %.
As it can be seen from the table below, the volume of exports of the Union industry increased during the period considered by 11 %.
Eksportpriserne faldt i samme periode med 10 %, hvilket medførte, at værdien af eksportsalget var stabil i hele den betragtede periode.
The level of export prices over the same period decreased by 10 % which resulted in stable export sales value during the period considered.
Der er således intet, der tyder på, at eksportaktiviteterne bidrog til EU-erhvervsgrenens væsentlige skade.
Consequently, there is no indication that the export performance contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.

En anden interesseret part påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens priser på EU-markedet var kunstigt høje.
Another interested party claimed that the prices of the Union industry on the EU market were artificially high.
Den interesserede part påstod, at dette især sås ved, at priserne på EU-markedet var stabile, mens eksportsalgspriserne faldt.
According to the interested party, this claim is evidenced by the fact that prices on the EU market remained stable whereas export sales prices have dropped.
Undersøgelsen har dog vist, at EU-erhvervsgrenens årlige gennemsnitssalgspriser på EU-markedet faldt med 12 % i løbet af den betragtede periode i takt med faldet i eksportpriserne i samme periode.
However, the investigation has shown that the annual average sales prices of the Union industry on the EU market decreased by 12 % over the period considered, in line with the decrease in export prices over the same period.
Påstanden afvises derfor.
The argument is thus rejected.
To koreanske virksomheder er dog pålagt nultold, og undersøgelsen viste, at importen fra Republikken Korea fortsat var omfattende og steg betydeligt i den betragtede periode.
However, two Korean companies are subject to a zero duty and the investigation established that imports from the Republic of Korea remain at a high level and increased significantly in the period considered.
Importen fra Korea steg med næsten 150 % mellem 2006 og UP, og den tilsvarende markedsandel steg fra 3,5 % i 2006 til 7,7 % i UP.
The Korean imports increased by almost 150 % between 2006 and the IP and their corresponding market share increased from 3,5 % in 2006 to 7,7 % in the IP.
Import fra Sydkorea (ton)
Volume of imports from South Korea (tonnes)
Gennemsnitsprisen for importen fra Korea var generelt en anelse lavere end EU-producenternes gennemsnitspriser.
The average price of the Korean imports remained in general slightly below the average prices of the Union producers.
De koreanske priser var dog højere end gennemsnitspriserne for importen fra de pågældende lande.
However, the Korean prices were higher than the average prices from the countries concerned.
Selv om det ikke kan udelukkes, at importen fra Republikken Korea bidrog til den skade, EU-erhvervsgrenens har lidt, bidrog denne import kun i begrænset omfang, og det konkluderes, at den ikke har brudt årsagssammenhængen, hvad angår den subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande
Consequently, although it cannot be excluded that imports from the Republic of Korea contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry, their contribution was only limited and they are considered not to have broken the causal link established as regards the subsidised imports from the countries concerned.
Den iranske eksportør påstod, at en eventuel stigning i importen fra Iran skyldtes et fald i importen fra Sydkorea, og at denne derfor ikke skete på bekostning af EU-producenterne.
The Iranian exporter claimed that any increase in Iranian imports was due to a decline in South Korean imports and therefore was not at the expense of European producers.
Eurostats oplysninger fra den betragtede periode viser dog, at importmængderne fra begge lande steg støt.
However, Eurostat data show that, over the period considered, import volumes from both countries have been increasing steadily in parallel.
Det kan derfor ikke konkluderes, at importen fra Iran udelukkende erstattede importen fra Sydkorea.
Hence, it can not be concluded that imports from Iran merely substituted imports from South Korea.
Priserne på import fra andre lande var generelt væsentligt højere end EU-producenternes gennemsnitlige salgspriser.
Imports from other countries were, on average, at prices substantially higher than average sales prices of the Union producers.
Denne import betragtes derfor ikke som en mulig årsag til EU-erhvervsgrenens skade
Consequently, these imports are not considered as being a possible cause of injury for the Union industry.

Visse interesserede parter påstod, at den skade, der er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen, skyldes konkurrence fra ikke-samarbejdsvillige producenter i Unionen.
Some interested parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry would be due to competition form the non-cooperating producers in the Union.
5 EU-producenter samarbejdede ikke i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse.
Five Union producers did not cooperate in this proceeding.
En af dem indstillede sin produktion allerede i UP, men to andre indstillede deres produktion kort efter.
One of them stopped its production already in the IP while two other ones did so shortly thereafter.
Disse ikke-samarbejdsvillige producenters salgsmængder er blevet anslået på grundlag af oplysningerne i klagen.
The sales volumes of non-cooperating producers have been estimated based on the information submitted in the complaint.
På grundlag af disse oplysninger har disse producenter tilsyneladende mistet markedsandele i den betragtede periode med et fald fra 20,5 % i 2006 til 16 % i UP.
Based on the information available it appears that these producers lost their market share during the period considered from 20,5 % in 2006 to 16 % in the IP.
Undersøgelsen har ikke afsløret, om disse producenters adfærd har brudt årsagssammenhængen mellem den subsidierede import og den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The investigation has not shown any evidence that the behaviour of these producers has broken the causal link between the subsidised imports and the injury established for the Union industry.

Den finansielle og økonomiske krise i 2008 førte til en langsommere markedsvækst end forventet, som var usædvanlig i forhold til de første år i dette tiår med årlige vækstrater på 10 %.
The financial and economic crisis of 2008 led to a market growth that was slower than expected and unusual as compared to the beginning of the years 2000 where yearly growth rates around 10 % could be observed.
Der var for første gang et fald i efterspørgslen efter PET i 2008.
For the first time, there was a contraction of demand for PET in 2008.
Dette havde tydeligvis en virkning for EU-erhvervsgrenens overordnede resultater.
This clearly had an effect on the overall performance of the Union industry.
Den økonomiske krises negative virkning og faldet i efterspørgslen blev dog forværret af den stigende subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande, som underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
However, the negative effect of the economic downturn and the contraction in demand was exacerbated by the increased subsidised imports from the countries concerned, which undercut the prices of the Union industry.
Selv om det således kan konkluderes, at den økonomiske krise bidrog til den skade, der blev forvoldt fra begyndelsen af det sidste kvartal af 2008, kan dette på ingen måde formindske den skadevoldende virkning af subsidieret import til lave priser på EU-markedet i løbet af hele den betragtede periode.
Even if the economic downturn could therefore be considered as contributing to the injury for the period starting in the last quarter of 2008, this cannot in any way diminish the damaging injurious effects of low priced subsidised imports in the EU market over the whole period considered.
Selv i en situation med faldende salg burde EU-erhvervsgrenen være i stand til at opretholde et acceptabelt prisniveau og dermed begrænse den negative virkning af en eventuel nedgang i væksten i forbruget, men dog kun uden urimelig konkurrence fra lavprisimporten på markedet.
Even in a situation of decreasing sales, the Union industry should be able to maintain an acceptable level of prices and therefore limit the negative effects of any decrease in the growth of consumption, but only in the absence of the unfair competition of low priced imports in the market.
Den økonomiske afmatning har desuden heller ikke haft nogen virkning for den konstaterede skade, der forvoldtes allerede inden det sidste kvartal af 2008.
The economic downturn has also no impact whatsoever on the injury suffered and observed already before the last quarter of 2008.
Den økonomiske afmatning må således betragtes som et element, der kun har bidraget til EU-erhvervsgrenens skade fra og med det sidste kvartal af 2008, og kan i betragtning af dens globale karakter ikke betragtes som en mulig årsag, der kan bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem den skade, der påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, og den subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande.
Consequently, the economic downturn must be considered as an element contributing to the injury suffered by the Union industry as from last quarter of 2008 only and given its global character cannot be considered as a possible cause breaking the causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the subsidised imports from the countries concerned.
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens eventuelle skade først og fremmest skyldtes, at i det mindste en del af EU-producenterne har en ufordelagtig placering (dvs. langt fra en havn, hvilket medfører unødvendige supplerende omkostninger til transport af råvarer og den endelige vare).
Some interested parties argued that any injury suffered by the Union industry would be caused in the first place by the unfavourable location of at least some Union producers (i.e. far away from a harbour thus incurring additional unnecessary transportation costs for the raw materials as well as for the final product).
Det skal i forbindelse med denne påstand erkendes, at en placering, som ikke er nemt tilgængelig med relativt billige transportmidler ganske rigtigt indebærer visse ulemper i form af omkostninger til levering af både råvarer fra leverandører og levering af den endelige vare til forbrugerne.
As regards the above argument, it is recognised that being located in a place not easily accessible by relatively cheaper means of transport has certain disadvantages in terms of cost for the delivery of both raw materials from the suppliers and the final product to the customers.
Undersøgelsen og de efterprøvede data fra EU-producenterne i stikprøven (to af dem er placeret nær ved en havn og to andre længere inde i landet) viste dog ingen væsentlig sammenhæng mellem EU-producenternes geografiske placering og deres økonomiske resultater.
However, the investigation and the verified data from the sampled Union producers (two of them located close to a harbour and two further inland) did not show any significant correlation between the geographical location and the economic performance of the Union producers.
Den konstaterede skade vedrørte nemlig også de producenter, der var placeret nær ved en havn.
In fact, the injury found applied also to those producers located close to a harbour.
