USA blev anset for at være egnet på grund af hjemmemarkedets størrelse og åbenhed, og fordi en amerikansk producent havde indvilliget i at samarbejde fuldt ud i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
The USA was considered appropriate in view of the size and openness of its domestic market and the fact that one US producer had agreed to cooperate fully in the investigation.
En importørsammenslutning var imod valget af USA som referenceland og anførte, at der kun var én stor producent i USA, og at hjemmemarkedspriserne var ekstremt høje.
An importers’ association opposed the choice of the USA as analogue country, arguing that there was only one main producer in the USA and that domestic prices were extremely high.
En kinesisk eksporterende producent hævdede, at konkurrenceniveauet i USA var lavere end på det kinesiske hjemmemarked, og at markederne derfor ikke kunne sammenlignes.
One Chinese exporting producer claimed that the level of competition in the USA was lower than that on the Chinese domestic market and therefore the markets were not comparable.
Selv om der kun var en producent på markedet i USA, blev det dog konstateret, at importen også spillede en rolle og sikrede et passende konkurrenceniveau på dette betragtelige marked.
It was found, however, that while there was only one producer on the market in the USA, imports also played a role which ensured a sufficient level of competition on this sizeable market.
Desuden indvilligede ingen af de kendte producenter, som blev kontaktet i andre mulige referencelande, herunder Thailand, Tyrkiet og Sydafrika, i at samarbejde.
Furthermore, none of the known producers contacted in other possible analogue countries, including Thailand, Turkey and South Africa, agreed to cooperate.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderedes det, at det var mest hensigtsmæssigt at anvende USA som referenceland, jf. grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 7.
Based on the above, it was concluded that the USA was the most appropriate and reasonable analogue country in accordance with Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.
Den normale værdi blev fastsat på grundlag af efterprøvede oplysninger fra producenten i USA, jf. grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 7, litra a).
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation normal value was established on the basis of verified information received from the producer in the USA.
Kommissionen fastslog først, at den amerikanske producents samlede hjemmemarkedssalg fandt sted i tilstrækkelige mængder og dermed kunne anses for at være repræsentativt i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 2.
The Commission first established that the total domestic sales of the US producer were made in sufficient quantities and could thus be considered representative within the meaning of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation.
Det blev senere undersøgt, om referencelandets salg i repræsentative mængder af den pågældende vare på hjemmemarkedet kunne anses for at have fundet sted i normal handel i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 4.
It was subsequently examined whether the product concerned sold in representative quantities on the analogue country’s domestic market could be considered as being sold in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation.
Det blev konstateret, at salgsmængden for hver type vare, der solgtes til en nettopris svarende til eller over produktionsomkostningerne, udgjorde mindst 80 % af den samlede salgsmængde, og den vejede gennemsnitspris for den pågældende type var på niveau med eller højere end produktionsomkostningerne.
It was found that the sales volume on a per type basis, sold at a net sales price equal to or above the cost of production, represented 80 % or more of the total sales volume and the weighted average price of that type was equal to or above the cost of production.
Følgelig kunne de faktiske hjemmemarkedspriser, der blev beregnet som et vejet gennemsnit af priserne på alt salg på hjemmemarkedet i undersøgelsesperioden, anvendes, uanset om der var tale om fortjenstgivende salg.
Therefore the actual domestic prices, calculated as a weighted average of the prices of all domestic sales made during the RIP, irrespective of whether these sales were profitable or not, could be used.
Den eneste kinesiske eksporterende producent, der havde samarbejdet, blev indrømmet individuel behandling i forbindelse med den oprindelige undersøgelse.
The only Chinese exporting producer which cooperated was granted IT in the original investigation.
Denne virksomheds eksportpris for den pågældende vare blev, jf. grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 8, fastlagt på grundlag af den eksportpris, der faktisk var betalt eller skulle betales for varen, når den solgtes til den første uafhængige kunde i Unionen.
In accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation the export price of the product concerned for this company was established on the basis of the export prices actually paid or payable to the first independent customer located in the Union.
På grund af den ringe samarbejdsvilje i Kina blev den landsdækkende dumpingmargen for alle andre eksportører i Kina beregnet ved hjælp af kinesiske eksportstatistikker.
Given that cooperation from China was very low, the countrywide dumping margin applicable to all other exporters in China was calculated using the Chinese export statistics.
Der blev i alle tilfælde foretaget passende justeringer for forskelle i omkostninger til transport, forsikring og kreditter, hvor dette var berettiget, korrekt og kunne dokumenteres.
Appropriate adjustments concerning transport, insurance, and credit costs were granted in all cases where they were found to be reasonable, accurate and supported by verified evidence.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 11, blev den vejede gennemsnitlige normale værdi fastsat for USA sammenlignet med den vejede gennemsnitlige eksportpris ab fabrik for den samarbejdsvillige kinesiske eksporterende producent.
In accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation the weighted average normal value established for the USA was compared with the weighted average export price of the cooperating Chinese exporting producer on an ex-works basis.
Denne sammenligning viste en betydelig dumping og en dumpingmargen på mere end 40 %.
This comparison showed the existence of significant dumping, the dumping margin amounting to more than 40 %.
På grundlag af Eurostats oplysninger og de kinesiske statistikker blev det konstateret, at dumpingmargenen for alt øvrigt eksportsalg til Unionen ligeledes var væsentlig og af samme omfang som nævnt ovenfor.
Based on Eurostat and Chinese statistics, for all other Chinese exports to the Union the margin of dumping was also found to be substantial, in the same range as above.
Udviklingen i importen, hvis foranstaltningerne udløber
Development of imports should measures be allowed to lapse
Der skal mindes om, at foranstaltningerne har fundet anvendelse siden oktober 2003.
It is recalled that measures have been in force since October 2003.
Udviklingen i produktionen og kapacitetsudnyttelsen i Kina
Evolution of production and capacity utilisation in China
I mangel af relevant samarbejde fra de kinesiske eksporterende producenter i forbindelse med den igangværende undersøgelse fandtes der ingen tilgængelige oplysninger om deres kapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse.
In the absence of meaningful cooperation by the Chinese exporting producers during the current investigation no verifiable data was available on their capacity and capacity utilization.
Ifølge ansøgerens overslag udgjorde den samlede produktionskapacitet i Kina i 2006 ca. 364900 ton FA pr. år.
According to the applicant’s estimate, the total production capacity in China in 2006 amounted to around 364900 tonnes of FA per year.
Denne kilde anfører desuden, at der i 2005 var over 300 producenter af FA i Kina.
This source also states that there were more than 300 FA producers in China in 2005.
Den samlede årlige produktionskapacitet af FA var på 240000 ton og produktionen på ca. 140000 ton.
The total annual production capacity of FA was 240000 tonnes and the output was around 140000 tonnes.
Den samlede produktion af FA i Kina i 2008 var iflg. et overslag fra den eneste samarbejdsvillige kinesiske eksporterende producent 200000 ton.
According to the estimation of the sole cooperating Chinese exporting producer, total production of FA in China in 2008 amounted to 200000 tonnes.
Kinas produktionskapacitet er under alle omstændigheder fortsat betydelig.
In any event, Chinese production capacity continues to be substantial.
Desuden stiger Kinas eksport til Unionen fortsat til trods for de gældende foranstaltninger.
Furthermore, despite the measures in place, Chinese exports to the Union continued to increase.
Uanset kilden til oplysningerne fremgår det tydeligt, at Kinas produktionskapacitet langt overstiger EU-forbruget.
Whatever the source of information it is clear that Chinese production capacity largely exceeds Union consumption.
EU-markedet er et stort og stabilt marked for FA, og det forventes på grund af høje antidumpingforanstaltninger i USA (tolden varierer fra 43 % til 50 % og blev fornyet i juli 2006) på importen fra Kina, at de kinesiske producenter, hvis de gældende foranstaltninger ophæves, vil have yderligere incitamenter til at sende overskydende kapacitet til Unionen.
The Union market is a large and stable market for FA and given the existence of high anti-dumping measures in the USA (ranging from 43 % to 50 % and renewed in July 2006) on imports from China, it is expected that if existing measures are allowed to lapse Chinese producers would have every incentive to ship spare capacities to the Union.
Ud fra ovenstående kan det konkluderes, at i lyset af den store kapacitet, der findes i Kina, og den høje antidumpingtold på et andet vigtigt marked, nemlig USA, er der stor sandsynlighed for øget import til Unionen, hvis foranstaltningerne får lov til at udløbe.
On the basis of the above it may be concluded that, in the light of the huge capacity available in China and the existence of anti-dumping duties in another important market, the USA, there is a strong likelihood of increased dumped imports into the Union should measures be allowed to lapse.
Importmængde og priser på importen fra Kina til Unionen
Volume and price of imports from China to the Union
I undersøgelsesperioden udgjorde importen af den pågældende vare fra Kina ca. 21000 ton.
During the RIP imports of the product concerned from China amounted to approximately 21000 tonnes.
Enhedsprisen var 1210 EUR pr. ton i gennemsnit (jf. betragtning 57).
The unit price was EUR 1210 per tonne on average (see recital (57)).
I den samme periode lå EU-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitlige enhedssalgspris langt over denne pris, hvilket ville gøre EU-markedet meget attraktivt for kinesiske eksportører, hvis foranstaltningerne fik lov at udløbe.
During the same period the average Union unit selling price was far above this price making the Union market very attractive to Chinese exporters should the measures be allowed to lapse.
Den kinesiske eksport til tredjelande: mængder og priser
Volume and prices of Chinese exports to third countries
På grundlag af oplysningerne fra den samarbejdsvillige kinesiske eksporterende producent blev det konstateret, at denne virksomhed eksporterede større mængder til tredjelande end til Unionen og til priser, der lå langt under EU-producenternes priser på EU-markedet, og desuden under de kinesiske priser ved eksport til Unionen.
Based on the data provided by the cooperating Chinese exporting producer it was found that this company exported larger quantities to third countries than to the Union and at prices significantly below those of Union producers on the Union market and also below Chinese export prices to the Union.
Dette bekræftes gennem offentligt tilgængelige kinesiske statistikker, hvoraf det fremgår, at de kinesiske virksomheder i undersøgelsesperioden hovedsagelig eksporterede til asiatiske lande til priser, der lå langt under deres priser ved eksport til EU-markedet.
This is confirmed by publicly available Chinese statistics which showed that for most of the investigation period Chinese companies exported mainly to Asian countries at prices far below those of their exports to the Union market.
Under disse omstændigheder ville kinesiske eksporterende producenter, hvis foranstaltningerne fik lov at udløbe, kunne omdirigere dette salg til det dyrere EU-marked, men dog stadig til dumpingpriser, der ville underbyde EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
In these circumstances, if measures are allowed to lapse, Chinese exporting producers may re-direct these sales to the higher priced Union market but still at dumped prices that would undercut those of the Union industry.
Der foreligger kun begrænset information om hjemmemarkedspriserne i Kina.
Limited information is available on the domestic prices in China.
På baggrund af spørgeskemabesvarelsen fra den eneste samarbejdsvillige virksomhed i Kina, solgte denne virksomhed den pågældende vare på hjemmemarkedet til priser, der lå langt under eksportpriserne til tredjelande og til Unionen.
However, based on the questionnaire reply from the sole cooperating Chinese company, this company sold the product concerned on its domestic market at a price far below that of its exports to third countries and to the Union.
Af undersøgelsen fremgik det, at mens importen af den pågældende vare var relativt lav i undersøgelsesperioden, var dumpingniveauet for denne import betydeligt.
The investigation showed that, whilst the import volumes of the product concerned in the RIP were relatively high, the level of dumping found for these imports was significant.
På baggrund af den uudnyttede kapacitet i Kina, som tydeligvis overstiger det samlede EU-forbrug, de markante forskelle i priserne ved salg til henholdsvis Unionen og tredjelande og EU-markedets deraf følgende tiltrækningskraft, jf. betragtning 41 ovenfor, konkluderes det, at der er stor sandsynlighed for øget import til Unionen, hvis foranstaltningerne får lov til at udløbe.
In view of the spare capacity available in China, which largely exceeds total Union consumption, the significant difference in prices charged to the Union and third countries and the resulting attractiveness of the Union market, as showed in recital (41) above, to the Chinese exporting producers, it is concluded that there is a strong likelihood of increased dumped imports into the Union should measures be allowed to lapse.
DEFINITION AF EU-ERHVERVSGRENEN
DEFINITION OF THE UNION INDUSTRY
Som det var tilfældet i den oprindelige undersøgelse, er der kun en EU-producent af FA, nemlig TransFurans Chemicals, Belgien (»TFC«).
As in the original investigation, there is only one producer of FA in the Union: TransFurans Chemicals, Belgium (TFC).
Derfor udgør TFC's produktion den samlede EU-produktion, jf. grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 1.
Accordingly, the production of TFC constitutes the total Union production within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
EU-produktionen er fuldt ud integreret i en enkelt økonomisk enhed, som består af tre virksomheder og opererer således:
The Union production is fully integrated in a single economic entity which consists of three companies and operates as follows:
Ud fra det ovenstående udgør TFC og den forretningsmæssigt forbundne virksomhed IFC erhvervsgrenen i Unionen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 5, stk. 4, og artikel 4, stk. 1.
Based on the above, TFC and its related company IFC constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Articles 5(4) and 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Det skal bemærkes, at det med henblik på en informativ vurdering af visse skadesindikatorer også var nødvendigt at tage hensyn til flere data fra CRC.
It should be noted, that in order to make a meaningful assessment of certain injury indicators, it was necessary to take into account also certain data from CRC.
SITUATIONEN PÅ EU-MARKEDET
SITUATION ON THE UNION MARKET
Da EU-erhvervsgrenen kun består af en virksomhed, blev specifikke data om EU-erhvervsgrenen, som fremgik af de efterprøvede spørgeskemabesvarelser, forbruget og de kinesiske eksporterende producenters og andre tredjelandes markedsandele, indekseret med henblik på at bevare oplysningernes fortrolige karakter, jf. grundforordningens artikel 19.
Given that the Union industry comprises only one company, specific data relating to the Union industry, as reported in the verified questionnaire replies, consumption and the market share of the Chinese exporting producers as well as other third countries’ imports have been ed in order to preserve the confidentiality of the data submitted in accordance with Article 19 of the basic Regulation.
EU-forbruget
Union consumption
EU-forbruget blev beregnet på grundlag af en kombination af EU-erhvervsgrenens salg i Unionen af dens egen produktion af FA, importen fra Kina og importen fra andre tredjelande.
Union consumption was calculated on the basis of the combined volume of sales by the Union industry in the Union of its own produced FA, imports from China as well as imports from other third countries.
Hvad angår importmængderne fra det pågældende land, blev de officielle kinesiske eksportstatistikker, som det var tilfældet i den oprindelige undersøgelse, anvendt i stedet for Eurostats importstatistikker, da de førstnævnte viste sig at være mere nøjagtige, idet visse data i Eurostat om denne vare var klassificeret som »hemmelige« og derfor ikke offentligt tilgængelige.
With regard to the import volumes from the country concerned, and as during the original investigation, Chinese official export statistics were used rather than Eurostat import statistics, since the former appeared to be more accurate in view of the fact that certain data in Eurostat concerning this product were classified as ‘secret’ and therefore not publicly available.
Hvad angår importmængderne fra andre tredjelande, blev Eurostats statistikker anvendt, da der ikke forelå andre, mere pålidelige oplysninger.
As far as the import volumes of other third countries are concerned Eurostat statistics were used since no other more reliable information was available.

På denne baggrund steg EU-forbruget betydeligt i den betragtede periode, nemlig med 66 %, jf. også tabel 1 ovenfor.
On this basis and as shown in table 1 above, Union consumption increased significantly during the period under consideration, i.e. by 66 %.
Det skal bemærkes, at ovenstående udvikling muligvis kan være påvirket af tilstedeværelsen af hemmelige oplysninger vedrørende importen fra Thailand, jf. betragtning 61.
It is noted that the above development may be affected by the possible existence of secret data concerning imports of Thailand as mentioned below in recital (61).

Importmængden fra Kina steg med 31 % i den betragtede periode, fra 16010 ton i 2005 til 21002 ton i undersøgelsesperioden, mens markedsandelen faldt med 21 % i løbet af den betragtede periode.
The import volume from China increased by 31 % during the period considered, from 16010 tonnes in 2005 to 21002 tons in the RIP, while market share decreased by 21 % during the period considered.
Denne udvikling skal ses i sammenhæng med den markante stigning i EU-forbruget på 66 % i den samme periode.
This development has to be seen against the background of the significant increase of Union consumption by 66 % during the same period.
Det skal bemærkes, at EU-erhvervsgrenen selv importerede mellem 5000 og 9000 ton af den pågældende vare fra Kina i undersøgelsesperioden, som den derefter videresolgte på EU-markedet.
It should be noted that the Union industry was itself importing between 5000 and 9000 tons during the RIP of the product concerned from China which it re-sold on the Union market.
EU-erhvervsgrenen var således den største importør af den pågældende vare fra Kina.
The Union industry was therefore also the main importer of the product concerned from China.
EU-erhvervsgrenen var nødt til at importere, da den allerede producerede med fuld kapacitet (jf. betragtning 64 og 65) og alligevel ikke var i stand til at opfylde efterspørgslen på EU-markedet.
Imports were done by the Union industry because, producing already at full capacity (see recitals (64) and (65) below), it was not able to meet the demand in the Union market.
De gennemsnitlige priser på importerede varer fra Kina steg i den betragtede periode med 36 %, nemlig fra 887 EUR/ton i 2005 til 1210 EUR/ton i UP.
Average import prices from China increased over the period considered by 36 %, i.e. from 887 EUR/ton in 2005 to 1210 EUR/ton during the RIP.
På grundlag af sammenligningen af importprisen, cif, Unionens grænse, ved salg til uafhængige kunder, inklusive omkostninger efter importen, og EU-erhvervsgrenens priser, ab fabrik, for samme varetype blev det fastslået, at de kinesiske importpriser ikke underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser i undersøgelsesperioden.
The comparison of the CIF import price at Union frontier charged to independent customers, including post-importation costs, with the Union industry’s ex-works prices, for the same product types, revealed that Chinese import prices were not undercutting the Union industry’s sales price during the RIP.

Det skal bemærkes, at Eurostats data for Thailand viser en stigning i importmængden fra ubetydelige mængder i 2005 og 2006 til 10660 ton i 2007 og 11450 ton i undersøgelsesperioden, med en markant stigning i markedsandelen fra et indeks på 100 til 1044 i den betragtede periode.
It is noted that Eurostat data for Thailand show an increase in import volume from insignificant quantities in 2005 and 2006 to 10660 tonnes in 2007 and 11450 tonnes during the RIP, with a significant increase in its market share from an index of 100 to 1044 during the period under consideration.
Det skal dog desuden bemærkes, at Eurostats data indeholdt visse hemmelige oplysninger vedrørende importen fra Thailand i 2005 og 2006, og stigningen i importen og markedsandelen var faktisk lavere, end det fremgår af skemaet ovenfor.
However, it is noted that Eurostat data contained some secret data with regard to Thai imports during 2005 and 2006 and the increase in imports and market share was in fact lower as shown above.
Priserne for importen fra Thailand steg med 23 % i den betragtede periode og lå langt over de kinesiske priser og EU-erhvervsgrenens priser i undersøgelsesperioden.
Import prices from Thailand increased by 23 % over the period considered and were above Chinese prices as well as above the Union industry’s prices during the RIP.
Selv om importen fra Sydafrika steg i den betragtede periode, forblev den på et relativt lavt niveau i sammenligning med importen fra Thailand.
Although imports from South Africa increased during the period considered, they remained at a relatively low level with price levels similar to the Thai imports.
Der blev ikke importeret betydelige mængder fra andre tredjelande.
Imports from other third countries did not represent significant volumes.

Economic situation of the Union industry
EU-erhvervsgrenens produktion voksede med 8 % i den betragtede periode.
The Union industry’s production increased by 8 % during the period under consideration.
