Under alle omstændigheder er der, som nævnt i betragtning 126 ff. i forordningen om midlertidig told, en klar sammenhæng mellem den betydelige stigning i importen fra Kina til lave priser og den skade, EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
In any case, as outlined in recitals (126) et seq of the provisional Regulation there is an evident link between the significant increase in Chinese import volumes at low prices and the injury observed with the Union industry.
Som nævnt i betragtning 103 i forordningen om midlertidig told og i modsætning til parternes påstande forblev kapaciteten desuden stabil i den betragtede periode (især mellem 2006 og 2008 med et fald på 4 % mellem 2008 og UP).
Furthermore, as outlined in recital (103) of the provisional Regulation and contrary to parties’ claims capacity remained stable over the period considered (most notably between 2006 and 2008, with a decrease of 4 % between 2008 and the IP).
En række parter henviste til meddelelser offentliggjort af EU-producenter på deres websteder og til, at dumpingimporten fra Kina ikke blev nævnt som en skadesårsag.
Some parties referred to statements published by Union producers on their Internet sites and to the fact that dumped imports from the PRC were not mentioned among causes of injury.
Uafhængigt af offentlige meddelelser fra EU-producenter (der under alle omstændigheder ikke udelukker kinesisk import som en mulig skadesårsag) viser de foreliggende oplysninger tydeligt, at der er en årsagssammenhæng mellem den skade, som er forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen, og dumpingimporten fra Kina.
Irrespective of any public statements by the Union producers (which in any case do not exclude Chinese imports as possible cause of injury) the data on file demonstrates clearly that there is a causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from the PRC.
Visse parter hævdede, at nedgangen i rentabilitet skyldtes den faldende produktionsmængde.
Some parties claimed that the loss in profitability was due to the decreasing production volumes.
Producenterne var derfor ikke i stand til at dække de faste omkostninger via produktionen af et mindre antal hjul.
Hence, producers were unable to amortize their fixed costs over the smaller number of wheels produced.
Produktionsnedgangen var imidlertid forårsaget af tab af markedsandele, der skyldtes indtrængning af import fra Kina.
However, the drop in production was due to loss in market share which was due to import penetration by Chinese imports.
Visse parter hævdede, at importen fra Kina ikke kunne have været årsag til den skade, som er forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen, eftersom der sås et fald i rentabiliteten i 2007 på trods af stabile priser og stabilt salg.
Some parties claimed that the imports from the PRC could not have been the cause of injury suffered by the Union industry because year 2007 saw a drop in profitability despite stable prices and sales.
Det skal erindres, at der mellem 2006 og 2007 sås en forøgelse af markedsandelen for import fra Kina og en stigning i importmængderne på 40 %.
It is recalled that between 2006 and 2007 there has been an increase in market share of imports from the PRC and a 40 % increase in terms of volumes.
Derfor måtte påstanden afvises.
On those grounds the claim had to be rejected.
Konklusionerne i betragtning 126-130 i forordningen om midlertidig told bekræftes hermed.
The conclusions set out in recitals (126) – (130) of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Segmentbestemt opdeling
Segmental split
Parterne gentog deres påstande om, at den skade, som er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen, der hovedsagelig sælger sine varer i OEM-segmentet, ikke kunne have været forårsaget af importen fra Kina, som hovedsagelig er koncentreret om AM-segmentet og kun i begrænset omfang er til stede inden for OEM-segmentet.
Parties reiterated their claims that the injury to the Union industry which channels most of its sales to the OEM segment could not have been caused by Chinese imports which concentrate predominantly on the AM segment and have limited OEM presence.
Der skal mindes om, at disse bemærkninger er blevet gennemgået i betragtning 131-135 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
It is recalled that these comments have been addressed in the provisional Regulation,in recitals (131) – (135).
Parterne påpegede endvidere, at der ikke blev stillet oplysninger til rådighed for interesserede parter med henblik på at dokumentere disse påstande.
Parties further pointed out that no information on the file open for consultation by interested parties was made available in order to evidence such claims.
Disse oplysningers store kommercielle følsomhed skal understreges fra starten.
The high commercial sensitivity of this type of information has to be underlined at the outset.
Ud over de oplysninger, som Kommissionen har til rådighed, blev der forelagt yderligere information af parterne.
On top of the information at Commission’s disposal, further information was provided by the parties.
Disse yderligere oplysninger bekræftede konklusionerne baseret på Kommissionens beviser i den midlertidige fase, som viser tendens til et pres i nedadgående retning på priserne.
This additional information confirmed conclusions based on evidence at Commission’s disposal at the provisional stage showing a pattern of clear downward price pressure.
Kommissionen lod desuden aspektet vedrørende pristrykket indgå i sagens akter.
The Commission has further build up the file with regard to price pressure aspect.
EU-producenterne har fremlagt detaljerede oplysninger.
A detailed submission has been provided by the Union producers.
Herigennem fik Kommissionen større kendskab til enkelthederne i udbudsproceduren og fik bekræftet konklusionerne med hensyn til de trykkede priser og anvendelsen af kinesiske tilbud som benchmark for at udøve et sådant pristryk.
It provided the Commission with a further insight into the details of the bidding process and confirmed the conclusions with regard to the downward price pressure and the use of Chinese offers as benchmark to exercise such pressure.
I visse tilfælde lå indikativprisen fastsat af bilfabrikanterne (som udgør udgangspunktet for forhandlingerne) allerede under EU-producenternes omkostninger og var således uholdbar fra starten.
Indeed in some cases the target price set out by the car makers (which constitutes the starting point of negotiations) was already set below the Union producers’ costs and was thus unsustainable from the outset.
I visse tilfælde blev selv tilbud under dette niveau afvist.
In some cases even offers below that level have been unsuccessful.
Ifølge de oplysninger, som Kommissionen har til rådighed, informerer nogle bilfabrikanter blot deres tilbudsgivere om, at de skal sænke priserne i overensstemmelse med de kinesiske tilbud. Andre anvender prisoplysninger fra virksomheder, der ikke deltager i udbuddene, mens andre endog slet ikke begrænser deres udbud, hvorved alle kan byde (selv dem, der aldrig ville kunne opfylde kravene).
According to the information at the Commission’s disposal some car makers just indicate to their bidders that they should lower prices in line with Chinese offers; some other are using quotes from companies which were not participating in the tenders; some others finally do not even restrict their tenders and anybody can bid (even those that would never meet the requirements).
Bilfabrikanterne påstod, at prisen ikke er en afgørende faktor i deres beslutninger om indkøb.
Car manufacturers claimed that the price is not a determining factor in their sourcing decisions.
De foreliggende oplysninger viser, at der kan være andre betragtninger, men prisen spiller dog en afgørende rolle.
Indeed the information on file demonstrates that there can be other considerations, however price plays a predominant role.
Konklusionerne i betragtning 131-135 i forordningen om midlertidig told bekræftes hermed.
The conclusions set out in recitals (131) – (135) of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Virkninger af importen fra Tyrkiet
Impact of imports from Turkey
Parterne hævdede, at Kommissionen undervurderede virkningen af tyrkisk import som årsag til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Parties claimed that the Commission underestimated the impact of Turkish imports as a cause of injury suffered by the Union industry.
Det skal erindres, at det i betragtning 136–137 i forordningen om midlertidig told erkendes, at de lave priser på import fra Tyrkiet kan have haft en vis negativ indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, men ikke i et omfang, der i sig selv kan bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og EU-erhvervsgrenens skade.
It is recalled that the provisional Regulation in recitals (136) – (137) recognized that the lower prices of Turkish imports might have had some negative impact on the situation of the Union industry but not such as to break, on its own, the causal link between dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Virkningen af importen fra Tyrkiet er også blevet vurderet pr. segment.
The impact of imports from Turkey has also been considered per segment.
Det er blevet konstateret, at tre fjerdedele af importen fra Tyrkiet foregik i OEM-segmentet.
It has been established that ¾ of the Turkish imports were OEM.
Det blev bekræftet, at tendenserne og størrelsesordenen, som er fastsat for OEM- og AM-segmentet betragtet samlet, var de samme som for begge segmenter betragtet separat.
It was confirmed that the trends and orders of magnitude established for OEM and AM segments considered together corresponded to those for both segments considered separately.
Ifølge de foreliggende oplysninger (forelagt af forskellige samarbejdsvillige parter) faldt AM-priserne på tyrkisk import i den betragtede periode.
According to the information on file (provided by different cooperating parties) the AM prices of Turkish imports decreased over the period considered.
Priserne på tyrkisk OEM-import forblev forholdsvis stabile.
As for prices of Turkish OEM imports those remained relatively stable.
Parterne påpegede, at priserne på import fra Tyrkiet faldt væsentligt mellem 2008 og UP.
Parties pointed out that prices of imports from Turkey decreased significantly between 2008 and the IP.
Som nævnt i betragtning 137 i forordningen om midlertidig told har prisforskellen stadig været betydeligt mindre end mellem de kinesiske importpriser og EU-producenternes priser.
However, as noted in recital (137) of the provisional Regulation the price differential has been still considerably lower that that between Chinese import prices and the EU producers’ prices.
På baggrund af bemærkningerne fra en part om, at Tyrkiet burde have været omfattet af klagen (se betragtning 9 ff. ovenfor), skal det bemærkes, at afvisningen af at inddrage Tyrkiet ikke bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem kinesisk eksport af den pågældende vare og den skade, der er blevet påført EU-erhvervsgrenen.
In view of comments of one party that Turkey should have been included in the complaint (see recital (9) et seq above), it has to be noted that the non-inclusion of Turkey does not break the causal link between the Chinese exports of the product concerned and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Af disse årsager afvises parternes påstande.
On these grounds therefore, claims put forward by the parties have to be rejected.
På baggrund af ovenstående, og da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger, bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 136-137 i forordningen om midlertidig told hermed.
In the light of the foregoing, and in absence of any other comments, recitals (136) – (137) of the provisional Regulation are herby confirmed.
Virkninger af importen fra andre lande
Impact of imports from other countries
En række lande nævnte, at importen fra Sydafrika bidrog til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen led, på grund af importens mængde og/eller priser.
Some countries mentioned imports from South Africa as contributing to the injury suffered by the Union industry because of their volume and/or prices.
Som beskrevet i betragtning 99 i forordningen om midlertidig told har markedsandelen for importen fra Sydafrika på trods af en stigning i importmængden været stabil siden 2007 (på 1,4 % med en stigning på 0,6 % mellem 2006 og 2007).
As outlined in recital (99) of the provisional Regulation the market share of the South African imports, even if they increased in terms of volumes, has been stable since 2007 (at the level of 1,4 % with an increase of 0,6 % between 2006 and 2007).
Kommissionen modtog oplysninger om, at størsteparten af denne import var rettet mod OEM-markedet.
The Commission received information that the majority of those imports were intended for the OEM market.
Med hensyn til priserne på OEM-import fra Sydafrika modtog Kommissionen modstridende oplysninger.
As far as the prices of South African OEM imports are concerned the Commission received contradictory information.
På baggrund af oplysninger fra Eurostat kan det konkluderes, at priserne steg fra 43 til 51 EUR. Disse data var også i tråd med oplysninger fra en EU-producent.
On the basis of Eurostat data it can be concluded that they increased from 43 to 51 EUR. These data would be also in line with information provided by one EU producer.
Derfor må påstanden vedrørende virkningerne af import fra Sydafrika afvises.
Therefore, the claim with regard to impact of South African imports has to be rejected.
Konklusionerne i betragtning 136–138 i forordningen om midlertidig told, som vedrører importen fra tredjelande samlet eller hver for sig, bekræftes hermed.
The conclusions of provisional Regulation in recitals (136) – (138) with regard to imports from third countries taken together or in isolation are therefore confirmed.
Virkninger af den økonomiske krise
Impact of economic crisis
Parterne gentog deres argumenter vedrørende virkningen af den økonomiske krise.
Parties reiterated their arguments on the impact of financial crisis.
Disse bemærkninger, navnlig faldet i bilproduktionen, er blevet behandlet i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Those comments, most notably the drop in car production, have been addressed in the provisional Regulation.
Som nævnt i betragtning 142 i forordningen om midlertidig told begyndte den nedadgående tendens længe før den økonomiske krise og faldt tidsmæssigt sammen med den kinesiske imports indtrængen på markedet.
As stated in recital (142) of the provisional Regulation the downward trend started well before the economic crisis and coincided in time with the market penetration by the imports from the PRC.
Konklusionerne i betragtning 139-144 i forordningen om midlertidig told bekræftes hermed.
The conclusions set out in recitals (139) – (144) of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Parterne hævdede, at EU-erhvervsgrenens struktur bidrog til den skade, EU-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt.
Parties claimed that the structure of the Union industry contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Som nævnt i betragtning 146 og 147 i forordningen om midlertidig told viser dataene, som er indsamlet i løbet af undersøgelsen, at større og mindre virksomheder er blevet påvirket i samme grad.
However, as specified in recitals (146) and (147) of the provisional Regulation data collected during the investigation demonstrates that larger and smaller companies have been similarly affected.
EU-producenternes ledelsesbeslutninger
Management decisions by Union producers
Visse parter påstod, at årsagerne til skaden var forkerte ledelsesbeslutninger truffet af EU-producenterne.
Some parties claimed that the causes of injury lied in wrong management decisions by the Union producers.
Disse bemærkninger vedrørte de producenter, der er nævnt i betragtning 124 i forordningen om midlertidig told, som enten er lukket eller gået konkurs.
Those comments referred to the producers mentioned in recital (124) of the provisional Regulation which have either closed or gone under insolvency proceedings.
Det skal erindres, at der i forordningen om midlertidig told er nævnt 30 virksomheder, mens parternes bemærkninger kun vedrører fire.
It is recalled that the provisional Regulation mentioned 30 companies whereas the comments of parties refer to only 4.
Generelt er disse bemærkninger ikke blevet dokumenteret.
In general those comments have not been substantiated.
Under alle omstændigheder viser de foreliggende oplysninger tydeligt årsagssammenhængen mellem den skade, som er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen, og importen fra Kina.
In any case the data on file demonstrates clearly the causal link between injury suffered by the Union industry and imports from the PRC.
Denne konklusion forstærkes af, at markedsandelen for de resterende virksomheder ikke steg på trods af lukningerne.
This conclusion is reinforced by the fact that despite closures the market share of remaining companies did not go up.
EU-erhvervsgrenens import fra tredjelande
Imports from third countries by the EU industry
Visse parter hævdede, at en EU-producent tilbød billigere hjul fra tredjelande og derved bidrog til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Some parties claimed that one EU producer offered cheaper wheels from third countries thereby contributing to the injury suffered by the EU industry.
Disse påstande er dog ikke blevet bekræftet med beviser.
These allegations however have not been confirmed by evidence.
Det var frem for alt uklart, om denne import ville have haft nogen nævneværdig indvirkning på mængden.
Above all it was not clear whether such imports would have affected any significant quantities.
Påstanden måtte derfor afvises.
Therefore the claim had to be rejected.
EU-erhvervsgrenens aluminiumspriser og leveringskontrakter
Aluminium prices and supply contracts of the Union industry
Det blev hævdet, at de gennemsnitlige produktionsomkostninger forblev stabile på trods af ændringerne i aluminiumspriserne.
It was claimed that the average cost of production remained stable despite the changes in the aluminium prices.
Parterne hævdede, at EU-producenternes tab skyldtes, at de indgik langtidskontrakter vedrørende levering af aluminium, som ikke muliggjorde prisjusteringer i overensstemmelse med de faldende LME-priser.
Parties claimed that the losses suffered by the Union producers were due to the fact that they entered into long-term contracts for supply of aluminium which did not allow for price adjustment in line with the decreasing LME prices.
De foreliggende oplysninger fra samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter bestred disse påstande.
The information on file submitted by cooperating Union producers contradicted such claims.
De måtte derfor afvises.
They had to be therefore rejected.
Det er også blevet påstået, at den skade, som EU-producenterne forvoldes, sandsynligvis vil blive mindre som følge af opskrivningen af den kinesiske valuta RMB i forhold til euroen. Svingningerne i valutakurserne vil sætte priserne i vejret på den dumpingimport, der handles i euro, og dermed indsnævre prisforskellen mellem dumpingimporten og EU-producenternes priser.
It has also been argued that the injury to the Union producers is likely to decrease as a result of the appreciation of the RMB to the EUR. The fluctuation in currency would push up the prices of the dumped imports that are traded in EUR so as to close the price gap between the dumped imports and Union producer prices.
Der skal i den forbindelse mindes om, at undersøgelsen skal fastslå, om dumpingimporten (med hensyn til priser og mængde) har forvoldt (eller sandsynligvis vil forvolde) EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, eller om en sådan væsentlig skade kan skyldes andre faktorer.
In this context it should be noted that the investigation has to establish whether the dumped imports (in terms of prices and volume) have caused (or are likely to cause) material injury to the Union industry or whether such material injury was due to other factors.
Dumpingimportens sandsynlige virkninger for EU-erhvervsgrenens priser undersøges hovedsageligt gennem fastsættelse af prisunderbuddet, prisfaldet og pristrykket.
The likely effect of the dumped imports on the Union industry’s prices is essentially examined by establishing price undercutting, price depression and price suppression.
Til dette formål sammenlignes de dumpede eksportpriser og EU-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 Union industry’s sales prices are compared, and export prices used for the injury calculations may sometimes need to be converted into another currency in order to have a comparable basis.
Selv hvis denne faktor blev taget i betragtning, er det på grund af det sandsynlige pres på forbrugerpriserne på et marked i afmatning imidlertid usandsynligt, at de importører, der køber deres varer fra det pågældende land, ville være i stand til at øge priserne til detailhandlen som følge af den kinesiske valutas opskrivning.
However, even in the event that this factor was taken into account, given the likely pressure on consumer prices in a context of a market downturn, it is unlikely that importers buying from the country concerned would be able to increase prices to retail as a result of the appreciation of the RMB.
Desuden er vekselkurserne som sådan meget vanskelige at forudsige.
Furthermore, exchange rates as such are very difficult to predict.
Endelig er der sket en opskrivning af den kinesiske valuta i forhold til euroen efter UP.
Finally, an appreciation of the RMB against the EUR has been seen post IP.
Alle disse faktorer gør det umuligt at konkludere, at valutakurssvingningerne vil have en virkning i opadgående retning på priserne på dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land.
All these elements make it impossible to conclude that the currency fluctuations will have an upward effect on prices of dumped imports from the country concerned.
Øget efterspørgsel efter stålhjul
Increasing demand for steel wheels
Visse parter hævdede, at den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, skyldtes, at forbrugerne i en tid med økonomisk krise anskaffede billigere stålhjul eller mindre biler, som angiveligt hyppigere ville være udstyret med stålhjul.
Some parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was due to the fact that in times of economic crisis consumers turned to less expensive steel wheels, or to smaller cars which would allegedly more frequently be equipped with steel wheels.
Dette argument blev forstærket af, at støtteordninger, som er blevet indført af forskellige europæiske lande, har sat gang i salget af mindre biler.
This argument was alleged to be reinforced by the fact that aid schemes introduced by different European countries incentivised sales of smaller cars.
Samtidig påstod andre parter, at selv om støtteordningerne kan have sat gang i salget af mindre biler, var disse biler bedre udstyret og forsynet med aluminiumshjul.
On the other hand, other parties claimed that although aid schemes indeed might have incentivised sales of smaller cars those cars were better equipped and fitted with aluminium wheels.
Der er foretaget yderligere undersøgelser på grundlag af de foreliggende data, eftersom der ikke findes generelle statistikker vedrørende stålhjul.
Additional analysis has been conducted on the basis of data available, since there are no general statistics concerning steel wheels.
Data om størrelsen af forbruget af stålhjul kunne indhentes ved at sammenligne data vedrørende bilproduktionen i EU (betragtning 141 i forordningen om midlertidig told) og forbruget af OEM-hjul (se betragtning 85 ovenfor).
Data on the level of consumption of steel wheels could be retrieved by comparing data on car production in the EU (recital (141) of the provisional Regulation) and consumption of OEM wheels (see recital (85) above).
Produktion af biler i EU (i 1000 enheder)
Production of cars in the EU (in 000 units)
Antal hjul anvendt i bilproduktionen (produktion x 4,5 hjul)
Amount of wheels used in car production (production*4.5 wheel)
Forbrug af OEM-aluminiumshjul i EU (i 1000 enheder)
Consumption of OEM aluminium wheels in the EU (in 000 units)
