EU-erhvervsgrenen stod over for et betydeligt fald i salgsmængderne (19 %).
The Union industry faced a significant drop in their sales volume (19 %).
Men faldet i salgsmængderne var langt mindre udtalt end faldet i efterspørgslen og førte til et tab af markedsandele på 5 procentpoint.
However this decrease of sales was much more pronounced than the drop in demand and led to a loss of market share of 5 percentage points.
Samtidig steg markedsandelen for kinesisk import med 3 procentpoint.
At the same time the market share of Chinese imports increased by 3 percentage points.
Dette viser, at EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel stort set er blevet overtaget af dumpingimporten fra Kina.
This shows that the Union industry’s market share has largely been taken over by the dumped imports from the PRC.
Det konstante pres, som blev udøvet af dumpingimport fra Kina til lave priser på EU-markedet, blev derfor anset for at have forhindret EU-erhvervsgrenen i at tilpasse salgspriserne til de øgede råvareomkostninger, navnlig i 2008, hvor prisen på papirmasse nåede sit højdepunkt.
It is therefore considered that the continued pressure exercised by the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC on the Union market did not allow the Union industry to adapt its sales prices to the increased raw material costs, in particular in 2008, when pulp prices peaked.
Det førte til tabte markedsandele og fald i rentabiliteten hos EU-erhvervsgrenen.
This led to the loss in market share and the loss in profitability of the Union industry.
Forbrugets udvikling på EU-markedet
Development of the consumption on the Union market
Som nævnt i betragtning 82 steg EU-forbruget af coated finpapir først i 2007, hvorefter det faldt i 2008 og i UP.
As mentioned in recital 82 above, the Union consumption of CFP first increased in 2007, after which it decreased in 2008 and the IP.
I den betragtede periode mistede hele EU-erhvervsgrenen markedsandele.
During the period considered, all Union industry lost market share.
En af de samarbejdsvillige eksportører i Kina hævdede, at de faldende salgsmængder og markedsandele hos EU-erhvervsgrenen skyldtes det faldende forbrug, der var forårsaget af den økonomiske krise og de elektroniske mediers fremmarch.
One of the cooperating exporters in the PRC claimed that the decrease in sales volume and market share of the Union industry was due to the decrease in consumption which had been caused by the economic crisis and the expansion of electronic media.
Selv om man ikke kan udelukke, at den negative udvikling i EU's forbrug, uanset årsag, mellem 2007 og UP har haft negative følger for EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængder og produktion, er det værd at bemærke, at det i samme periode og navnlig fra 2008 til 2009 lykkedes de kinesiske eksportører at øge deres salgsmængder og markedsandele i kraft af pristrykket på markedet som følge af dumpingimporten.
Although it cannot be disregarded that this negative evolution of the Union consumption, for whatever reason, between 2007 and the IP has had a negative impact on the situation of the Union industry in terms of sales volumes and production, it is noteworthy that the Chinese exporters managed at the same time and especially from 2008 to 2009 to increase their sales volumes and market share through the price pressure exerted on the market by the dumped imports.
Derfor menes det, at EU-erhvervsgrenens forværrede økonomiske situation hovedsagelig skyldes stigningen i dumpingimporten fra Kina og underbudspolitikken, som praktiseres af de kinesiske eksportører, og ikke et faldende forbrug.
Accordingly, it is considered that the deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry is mainly caused by the surge in the dumped imports from the PRC and the undercutting practised by the Chinese exporters and not by decreasing consumption.
Selv om den faldende efterspørgsel bidrog til skaden, kunne den ikke bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem de væsentlige skader og den stigende dumpingimport.
Even though the contraction in demand contributed to the injury, it could not break the causal link between the material injury suffered and the increase in dumped imports.
Råvarepriser
Prices of raw material
De gennemsnitlige produktionsomkostninger for de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter steg svagt (2 %) mellem 2006 og 2008 og faldt med 5 % i UP.
The average cost of production of the cooperating Union producers slightly increased (2 %) between 2006 and 2008 and fell by 5 % in the IP.
Undersøgelsen viste, at de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters produktionsomkostninger ved fremstilling af coated finpapir generelt fulgte samme tendens som prisudviklingen for papirmasse, en af de vigtigste råvarer ved papirproduktion.
The investigation showed that the cost of production of the cooperating Union producers to produce CFP followed in general a similar trend as the evolution of the prices of the pulp, one of the main raw materials in paper production.
Gennemsnitsprisen på papirmasse steg med 8 % mellem 2006 og 2008, hvorefter den faldt kraftigt fra udgangen af 2008 frem til den sidste måned i UP.
The average price of pulp increased by 8 % between 2006 and 2008 after which it decreased sharply from the end of 2008 till the last month of the IP.
Prisen på papirmasse lå i gennemsnit 19 % lavere i 2009 end året før.
The price of pulp was on average 19 % lower in 2009 than in the previous year.
Eftersom der ikke var tale om skadevoldende dumping, kunne man forvente, at priserne tilpasses regelmæssigt for at afspejle prisudviklingen for de forskellige produktionsfaktorer.
In the absence of injurious dumping, it could be expected that prices are regularly adapted to reflect the development of the various components of the cost of production.
Dette skete imidlertid ikke frem til 2008.
Up until 2008, this did, however, not take place.
Faktisk var EU-producenterne tvunget til at holde deres salgspriser nede, selv om priserne på papirmasse var stigende i 2008, for at kunne konkurrere med dumpingimport fra Kina til lave priser, hvilket medførte et markant fald i deres rentabilitet i samme periode.
Indeed, the Union producers was forced to keep its sales prices low even when pulp prices were increasing in 2008 in order to compete against the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC, which led to a significant drop in its profitability in that period.
I UP forbedredes situationen som følge af det usædvanlige fald i priserne på papirmasse — mens priserne på coated finpapir kunne fastholdes på samme niveau.
In the IP, the situation ameliorated due to the abnormal decrease in prices of pulp – while prices of CFP could be kept stable at the same time.
Men selv i denne ekstraordinære periode gav de fortsat meget lave fortjenstniveauer ikke de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter mulighed for at komme sig oven på den fortsatte dumping.
However even in this exceptional period the still very low profit levels did not allow the cooperating Union producers to recover from continued dumping practices.
På trods af de faldende råvareudgifter kunne priserne stadig ikke hæves, så man kunne opnå de solide fortjenstmargener, der er nødvendige for disse kapitalintensive producenter.
Indeed, despite the decrease in raw material costs the price levels could still not be increased to levels to achieve solid profit margins necessary for this capital intensive producers.
Derfor konkluderes det foreløbig, at dumpingimporten fra Kina, der underbød de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters priser, pressede priserne på EU-markedet og hindrede de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter i at hæve deres salgspriser for at dække deres udgifter eller for at opnå en rimelig rentabilitet.
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the PRC which undercut the cooperating Union producers’ prices depressed the prices on the Union market and prevented the cooperating Union producers from increasing its sales prices to cover its costs or to achieve a reasonable profitability.
I lyset af at råvarepriserne faldt betydeligt i UP, konkluderede man, at disse ikke kan have påvirket den væsentlige skade på EU-erhvervsgrenen i samme periode.
Given that the raw material prices were significantly decreasing in the IP, it was concluded that they could not have had an impact on the material injury suffered by the Union industry during that same period.
Eksportresultaterne blev også undersøgt som en af de andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, som samtidig kunne tilføje EU-erhvervsgrenen skade, for at sikre, at eventuel skade forårsaget af disse andre faktorer ikke blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Export performance was also examined as one of the known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Union industry, to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Analysen viste, at de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters eksportsalg til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne parter udgjorde en betydelig del af deres omsætning (ca. 27 %) i den betragtede periode.
The analysis showed that the export sales to unrelated parties made by the cooperating Union producers represented an important part of their sales (around 27 %) during the period considered.
Selv om eksportsalgsmængderne også faldt med 9 % i den betragtede periode, var faldet i mængder mindre udtalt end faldet i salgsmængder på EU-markedet (19 %).
Even though export sales volumes also decreased in the period considered by 9 %, the loss of volumes was less pronounced as the loss of sales volumes on the Union market (19 %).
Derfor fandt man, at faldet i eksportmængder ikke kan forklare den skade, som de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter har lidt.
Hence, it was considered that the decrease in export volume cannot explain the level of injury suffered by the cooperating Union producers.
Eftersom eksporten spiller en stor rolle med hensyn til at holde kapacitetsudnyttelsen på et højt niveau for at dække de store anlægsinvesteringer i maskineri, fandt man, at selv om eksportresultaterne blev forringet, havde eksporten samlet set en positiv effekt.
Since exports play an important role in keeping capacity utilisation high to cover the high fixed costs of investments into machinery, it was considered that although the export performance was deteriorating it had an overall positive effect.
Derfor fandt man, at selv om nedgangen i eksportaktiviteterne kan have bidraget til EU-erhvervsgrenens overordnet set forværrede situation, afbødede de på den anden side tabene på EU-markedet og er således ikke af en sådan beskaffenhed, at de bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og skaden for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Accordingly, it is considered that even if the decrease in export activities may have contributed to the overall deterioration of the situation of the Union industry, these were on the other hand mitigating the losses suffered on the Union market and thus are not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
En part hævdede, at EU-erhvervsgrenen var udsat for et betydeligt fald i eksporten på grund af euroens styrke i forhold til US-dollaren, og at den skade, der skyldes denne faktor, ikke skal tilskrives importen fra Kina.
One party claimed that the Union industry suffered a significant decline in exports because of the strength of the Euro versus the US dollar and that the injury caused by this factor should not be attributed to imports from the PRC.
Som det konkluderes ovenfor, er EU-erhvervsgrenens dårligere eksportresultater, uanset årsagerne hertil, ikke den væsentligste grund til den skade, som producenterne har lidt, og bryder dermed ikke den årsagssammenhæng, der fastslås i betragtning 117.
As concluded above, the deterioration of the export performance of the Union industry, regardless of the causes for such deterioration, is not the main reason for the injury suffered by the producers and thus does not break the causal link established in recital 117.
Udviklingen i importen fra andre tredjelande, både for så vidt angår mængder og priser, mellem 2006 og UP fremgår af følgende tabel:
The trends in import volumes and prices from other third countries between 2006 and the IP were as follows:
De største andre tredjelande, der eksporterer coated finpapir til EU-markedet er Schweiz, Indonesien og Sydkorea.
The main other third countries exporting CFP to the Union market are Switzerland, Indonesia and South Korea.
Det fremgår af tendenserne for importmængder, at stigningen i importen fra Kina var mere markant end fra nogen af de øvrige tredjelande.
From the trends of import volumes it can be seen that the increase of the imports from the PRC was more pronounced than from any of the other third countries.
Importen fra Schweiz blev solgt til betydeligt højere priser end importerede produkter fra Kina.
In case of imports from Switzerland, these were sold always at significantly higher prices than imported products from the PRC.
De schweiziske produkters markedsandel lå forholdsvis stabilt, undtagen i 2008, hvor den steg midlertidigt til over 4 %, inden den faldt tilbage tæt på 2006-niveauet i UP.
The market share of Swiss products remained relatively stable, except for the year 2008 when they increased temporarily to above 4 % before falling back to close to the 2006 level in the IP.
Importeret coated finpapir fra Schweiz bestod hovedsagelig af produktionen fra én virksomhed, der ejes af en af de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter, og de højere enhedspriser kan skyldes forskellige produktsortimenter og salgsstrukturer.
CFP imported from Switzerland constituted mainly the production of one company owned by one of the cooperating Union producers and the higher unit prices may be linked to different product mixes and sales structures.
Importen fra Indonesien kom også ind i EU til højere priser end de kinesiske produkter med undtagelse af UP, hvor priserne faldt, efter al sandsynlighed i høj grad som følge af de faldende priser på papirmasse.
As far as imports from Indonesia are concerned, these were also entering the Union at higher prices than the Chinese products, with the exception of the IP where prices fell, very likely in large part due to the decrease in pulp prices.
Den heraf følgende stigende import, som imidlertid mængdemæssigt forblev på et lavt niveau i løbet af UP, førte til en markedsandel, der ligeledes lå på et lavt niveau i samme periode.
The resulting increase of imports, which however remained in volume terms at a low level in the IP, led to a market share which also remained at a low level in that period.
Importen til EU fra Sydkorea var beskeden i den betragtede periode, og markedsandelen lå på et stabilt niveau.
Imports from South Korea entered the Union in low quantities throughout the period considered and market share remained stable.
Selv om de koreanske importpriser var sammenlignelige med importpriserne fra Kina, udviste de koreanske priser ikke en konstant faldende tendens, som den kinesiske import gjorde i hele den betragtede periode.
Even though Korean import prices were comparable to import prices from the PRC, Korean prices were not showing a continuously decreasing trend as the Chinese imports did over the whole period considered.
Importen fra alle andre lande skete til betydeligt højere priser end importen fra Kina, og importmængderne var lave.
Imports from all other countries had significantly higher prices than the imports from the PRC and import volumes were low.
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderedes det foreløbigt, at importen fra disse tredjelande ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, der var blevet påført EU-erhvervsgrenen.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from these third countries did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Strukturbestemt overkapacitet
Structural overcapacity
En samarbejdsvillig eksportør i Kina anførte, at skaden på EU-erhvervsgrenen skyldes EU-erhvervsgrenens overkapacitet.
One cooperating exporter in the PRC argued that the injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the Union industry’s overcapacity.
EU-erhvervsgrenens kapacitetsreduktion og konsolidering var derfor ikke en konsekvens af den kinesiske import, men skal ses som en forholdsregel imod overkapaciteten.
The reduction in capacity and consolidation of the Union industry were therefore not a consequence of the Chinese imports but should be seen as a measure against the overcapacity.
Men undersøgelsen viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenen led tab i den betragtede periode, navnlig i 2008, trods omstruktureringerne, fordi EU-erhvervsgrenen som skitseret ovenfor i betragtning 113-117 stadig var ude af stand til at hæve priserne til et niveau, der lå højere end udgifterne.
However, the investigation showed that losses were incurred by the Union industry in the period considered, especially in 2008, despite the restructuring of the producers because, as outlined above in recitals 113 to 117, the Union industry was still not able to raise its prices to levels above costs.
Denne situation skyldes hovedsagelig prispresset fra dumpingimporten, der underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
This situation was mainly caused by the price pressure exerted by the dumped imports undercutting Union industry prices.
Ovenstående analyse har vist, at der i den betragtede periode var en kraftig stigning i mængder og markedsandele for importen fra Kina til lave priser.
The above analysis demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the low-priced imports originating in the PRC over the period considered.
Desuden blev det konstateret, at denne import skete til dumpingpriser, der lå betydeligt under de priser, som EU-erhvervsgrenen krævede for tilsvarende varetyper på EU-markedet.
In addition, it was found that these imports were made at dumped prices which were below the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market for similar product types.
Denne stigning i mængde og markedsandel for dumpingimporten fra Kina til lave priser var sammenfaldende med et generelt fald i efterspørgslen i EU i perioden mellem 2006 og UP, men også sammenfaldende med den negative udvikling i EU-producenternes markedsandel i samme periode.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC coincided with an overall decrease of the demand on the Union market during the period between 2006 and the IP and also with the negative development in the market share of the Union producers during the same period.
Samtidig kunne der iagttages en negativ udvikling i de vigtigste indikatorer for EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske og finansielle situation som beskrevet i betragtning 107.
At the same time a negative development in the main indicators of the economic and financial situation of the Union industry was observed as outlined in recital 107.
Undersøgelsen af de andre kendte faktorer, som kunne have forårsaget skade for EU-erhvervsgrenen, afslørede, at disse faktorer ikke synes at være af en sådan beskaffenhed, at de bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry revealed that these factors are not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående analyse, hvor der blev behørigt skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at dumpingimporten fra Kina har forvoldt EU-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 Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 21, stk. 1, vurderede Kommissionen derfor med udgangspunkt i de foreliggende oplysninger virkningerne af eventuelle foranstaltninger for EU-producenter, importører, handlende og distributører samt brugere af den pågældende vare samt følgerne af ikke at træffe foranstaltninger.
For this purpose, and in accordance with Article 21(1) of the basic Regulation, the likely impact of possible measures on the Union producers, importers, merchants and distributors and users of the product concerned and also the likely consequences of not taking measures were considered on the basis of all evidence submitted.
EU-erhvervsgrenen består af 14 kendte producenter, der skønnes at stå for omkring 98 % af EU's produktion af coated finpapir i henhold til CEPIFINE.
The Union industry as a whole is composed of 14 known producers estimated to represent around 98 % of the Union CFP production according to CEPIFINE.
Producenterne er beliggende i forskellige EU-medlemsstater og beskæftiger direkte mere end 11000 personer i forbindelse med den pågældende vare.
The producers are located in different Member States of the Union, employing directly over 11000 people in relation to the product concerned.
To af de kendte producenter protesterede mod iværksættelsen af undersøgelsen, men fremkom ikke med yderligere oplysninger og samarbejdede ikke ved undersøgelsen.
Two of the known producers opposed the initiation of the investigation but provided no further information and did not cooperate with the investigation.
Ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger og navnlig på grundlag af oplysningerne fra CEPIFINE, som viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenens situation blev forværret, kan man imidlertid med rimelighed gå ud fra, at disse to virksomheder også blev påvirket negativt af dumpingimporten.
On the basis of the information available, however, and in particular on the basis of the data made available by CEPIFINE which showed a deterioration of the situation of the Union industry, it can be reasonably assumed that these two companies were also negatively affected by the dumped imports.
Den manglende samarbejdsvilje blev derfor ikke opfattet som et tegn på, at deres situation skulle adskille sig fra de øvrige EU-producenters.
The non-cooperation was therefore not seen as an indication that their situation would be different from the one of the remaining Union producers.
Især skadesindikatorer vedrørende de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters økonomiske resultater som f.eks. rentabilitet og investeringsafkast blev påvirket negativt trods en lille forbedring i UP.
In particular injury indicators related to the financial performance of the cooperating Union producers, such as profitability and return on investments, despite a slight improvement in the IP, were seriously affected.
Uden foranstaltninger forekommer en yderligere forringelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation meget sandsynlig.
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration in the Union industry’s economic situation appears very likely.
Det forventes, at indførelsen af midlertidig antidumpingtold vil genoprette effektive og rimelige handelsvilkår på EU-markedet og sætte EU-erhvervsgrenen i stand til at tilpasse priserne på coated finpapir, så de afspejler omkostningerne i forbindelse med de forskellige komponenter.
It is expected that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties will restore effective and fair trade conditions on the Union market, allowing the Union industry to align the prices of CFP to reflect the costs of the various components.
Det kan forventes, at indførelsen af midlertidige foranstaltninger vil betyde, at EU-erhvervsgrenen kan genvinde i det mindste en del af den markedsandel, der blev tabt i den betragtede periode, med yderligere positive virkninger for den økonomiske situation og rentabilitet.
It can be expected that the imposition of provisional measures would enable the Union industry to regain at least part of the market share lost during the period considered, with a further positive impact on its economic situation and profitability.
