Hovedparten af disse varer er specifikke nicheprodukter, der sælges til specialiserede forbrugere i små mængder, er af høj kvalitet og har komplekse tekniske egenskaber og hører til den høje priskategori, f.eks. ridestøvler, bowlingsko eller sko i speciel størrelse/bredde.
Most of these products are specific niche products sold to specialized consumers in small quantities, have high quality and complex technical features and belong to the high price category i.e. horse riding shoes, bowling shoes or special sizes/narrow feet shoes.
Disse varetyper passer derfor i princippet godt ind i EU-producenternes generelle specifikationer.
Therefore these product types would in principle fit in the general specification pattern of the Union producers.
Ved at indføre eller opretholde foranstaltninger tilskyndes EU-producenterne til igen at investere i produktion af sådanne nicheprodukter eller til at øge deres nuværende produktionskapacitet.
By imposing or maintaining measures, Union producers could be encouraged to invest again in such niche product type production or to increase their existing production capacities.
Ellers ville der ikke være nogen incitamenter for EU-producenterne til at investere i disse varer.
Otherwise there would be no incentive at all for Union producers to invest in such product lines.
Da hensigten med foranstaltningerne desuden ikke er at bremse importen, hvilket heller ikke forekom i denne sag, er det berettiget, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne også gælder disse nichevaretyper, så længe der ikke er en klar skillelinje mellem de forskellige varetyper.
Moreover, as measures are not meant to stop imports and did not do so in the case at hand, it is justifiable to have anti-dumping measures also on those niche product types, as long as no clear dividing line can be drawn between the different product types.
Det fremgår desuden af de begrænsede foreliggende oplysninger, at nicheprodukternes andel af den samlede import er meget begrænset, og at foranstaltningernes virkning for disse varetyper derfor ikke betragtes som uforholdsmæssig i forhold til resten af importen.
In any event, as far as the niche products are concerned, the limited data available indicates that their share in the overall imports is very limited and that therefore the impact of the measures on those product types is not considered to be disproportionate in relation to the vast majority of the imports.
Visse importører af sportsfodtøj og deres sammenslutninger påstod, at de ikke har et brugbart indkøbsalternativ i Unionen.
Certain importers of sports footwear as well as their association submitted that they would not have a viable alternative for their sourcing in the Union.
Det skal i den forbindelse først bemærkes, at oplysningerne fra de nationale sammenslutninger af fodtøjsproducenter antyder, at der stadig foregår en betydelig produktion af sportsfodtøj i Unionen, selv om det ikke kan udelukkes, at efterspørgslen vil overgå udbuddet i dette segment.
In this respect it is firstly noted that the information collected from the national footwear associations suggests that there is still significant production of sports footwear in the Union, although it cannot be excluded that demand would surpass supply in that segment.
Antages det, at der er en utilstrækkelig produktion af sportsfodtøj i Unionen, viste undersøgelsen dog alligevel, at der findes alternative kilder til levering såsom Indonesien og Indien, der tilbyder stadig mere konkurrencedygtige priser, jf. ovenfor.
Even assuming that there was insufficient production of sports footwear in the Union, the investigation showed that alternative sources of supply exist, such as Indonesia and India offering increasingly competitive prices, as shown above.
Det er desuden blevet påstået af en række importører — især de større globale fodtøjsmærker — i stikprøven, at de har langvarige strategiske relationer med visse fabrikker i Kina og Vietnam på grundlag af høj kvalitet samt sociale, sikkerheds- og miljømæssige standarder, som det tog mange år at skabe.
It has been further argued by several sampled importers, notably the larger global footwear brands, that they have long-term strategic relationships with certain factory groups in the PRC and Vietnam on the basis of high quality, social, safety and environmental standards which took years to cultivate.
En ændring af leverandører ved at flytte produktionen vil derfor medføre høje omkostninger og lange forsinkelser (12 til 18 måneder).
Therefore, changing sources by relocating production would incur high costs and long lag times (12 to 18 months).
Det er i den forbindelse vigtigt at fremhæve, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne ikke er prohibitive. Med andre ord har selve indførelsen af foranstaltningerne — med det formål at korrigere end handelsforvridning — ikke medført et stop for importen fra de pågældende lande og et deraf følgende behov for, at importørerne skifter til leverandører fra andre lande.
In this respect it is important to underline that the anti-dumping measures concerned are not prohibitive; in other words, the fact that the measures have been imposed — to correct a trade distortion — has not resulted in a cessation of imports from the countries concerned and a consequent need for importers to source from other countries.
Til trods for ovenstående viste undersøgelsen, at der findes en betydelig grad af fleksibilitet: importørerne køber normalt deres varer fra leverandørgrupper med produktionsanlæg i flere asiatiske lande.
Notwithstanding the above, the investigation showed that a significant degree of flexibility exists: importers usually purchase from supplier groups with production bases in several Asian countries.
Disse grupper er fleksible og kan ændre deres leverandører fra et land til et andet, hvis der er et incitament hertil.
These groups are flexible and can change sourcing from one country to another, if there is an incentive to do so.
De oplysninger, der fremkom i forbindelse med stikprøveundersøgelsen, om køb af den pågældende vare siden 2005, jf. resuméet på et samlet grundlag i betragtning 417 ovenfor, viser, at hovedparten af importørerne i stikprøven i løbet af 1 til 2 år har ændret oprindelse på en stor del af det læderfodtøj, de køber.
The details provided through the sampling exercise on the sourcing of the product in question since 2005, as summarized on an aggregated basis under recital 417 above, demonstrate that most of the sampled importers have, within 1 to 2 years, changed origin of a significant part of their sourced leather footwear.
En stor importør, der ikke indgik i stikprøven, berettede også om øget import fra andre asiatiske lande på bekostning af importen fra de pågældende lande.
A large non-sampled importer also reported increased imports from other Asian countries, at the expense of imports from the countries concerned.
De foreliggende oplysninger viser således, at det på trods af høje omkostninger ikke betragtes som besværligt at flytte produktionen fra et land til et andet og endda synes forholdsvis udbredt.
Therefore, the information on the file demonstrates that, although extra costs might be involved, shifting production from one country to another is not considered too cumbersome and it appears to be rather common.
En række importørsammenslutninger og importører påstod desuden, at importørerne nu ikke længere var i stand til at absorbere virkningen af antidumpingtolden.
It was also submitted by the importers’ associations and some importers that the importers were not anymore in a position to absorb the effect of the duties.
Det blev påstået, at foranstaltningernes negative virkning for forbrugerne i perioden 2006-UP (delvist) var blevet kompenseret af udviklingen i valutakurserne siden 2006, men iflg. disse påstande ville ændringen i valutakursernes udvikling siden udgangen af UP have medført en uundgåelig stigning i deres videresalgspriser og højere priser for forbrugerne i butikkerne, hvis foranstaltningerne opretholdes.
It was claimed that during the period 2006-RIP, the negative effect of the measures to the consumers had been (partly) compensated by the effect of the exchange rate development since 2006, but, according to these submissions, the reversal of the exchange rate development since the end of the RIP would have made an increase in their resale prices inevitable and result in higher prices for the consumers in the shops if duties be maintained.
Euroens opskrivning i forhold til den amerikanske dollar siden indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne har ganske rigtigt være betydelig, jf. betragtning 432 ovenfor.
It is acknowledged that the appreciation of the Euro versus the US dollar since the imposition of the anti-dumping measures has been significant as described also in recital 432 above.
Valutakursernes udvikling har bestemt været til fordel for importørerne af den pågældende vare fra udgangen af 2005 til udgangen af undersøgelsesperioden, da importørernes kontrakter med deres leverandører normalt fastsættes i dollar og euroen blev opskrevet med næsten 30 % i forhold til dollaren i samme periode.
Indeed the exchange rate development has been beneficial to the importers of the product concerned from the end of 2005 until the end of the RIP, as contracts with their suppliers are usually set in US dollars and the Euro appreciated by almost 30 % as compared to the US dollar in the course of that period.
Hvad angår påstanden om, at importørerne angiveligt ikke er i stand til at absorbere tolden i lyset af en anderledes udvikling i valutakurserne siden medio 2008, hvilket har ført til højere importpriser i euro, skal det bemærkes, at importørernes fortjeneste på handel med den pågældende vare stadig var høj i undersøgelsesperioden, jf. analysen af stikprøven i tabel 22 ovenfor.
As concerns the importers alleged inability to absorb the duty in view of a different exchange rate development since mid-2008, leading to higher import prices in Euro's, it is to be noted that the profit level that importers achieve on the trading of the product concerned, as analysed through the sample (see table 22 above), was still healthy in the RIP.
Det antydes i analysen, at importørerne fortsat vil være i stand til at føre bæredygtig virksomhed, selv om udviklingen i valutakurserne for en tid ikke vil være til deres fordel.
It suggests that importers would be in a position to continue to operate in a sustainable manner even if for a certain period the exchange rate developments would be to their disadvantage.
Hvad angår udviklingen i valutakurserne, tyder intet på, at euroen er i frit fald i forhold til dollaren; selv om euroen blev nedskrevet i forhold til dollaren fra juli til november 2008, har den tværtimod bevæget sig op igen.
Moreover, as concerned the exchange rate developments, there are no signs that the Euro is in a free fall as compared to the US Dollar; on the contrary, whereas the Euro depreciated vis-à-vis the US Dollar from July to November 2008, it moved up again since then.
Det er således spekulativt at forvente en nedskrivning af euroen på kort og mellemlang sigt.
It is therefore speculative to anticipate a depreciation of the Euro for the short and medium term.
Hvad angår detailpriserne på lædersko, skal det desuden bemærkes, at der findes mange andre leverandører af læderfodtøj end dem, importørerne i stigende grad anvender.
As concerns retail prices of leather shoes it should further be noted that there are several other sources for leather footwear and these sources are increasingly used by importers.
De foreliggende oplysninger tyder således heller ikke på, at importørerne får behov for at vælte antidumpingtolden helt over på grossister/detailhandlende, hvilket ville munde ud i betydelige prisstigninger på detailniveau.
There are therefore no data on the file which would point at the necessity for importers to fully pass on the duty to wholesalers/retailers, resulting in significant increases in prices at retail level.
Dette argument er derfor ikke overbevisende.
Therefore, the argument is not convincing.
Nogle af importørerne, som i overvejende grad hører til gruppen af producenter af mærkevarefodtøj, påstod, at foranstaltningerne ville skade deres væsentlige »merværdiskabende produktion« i Unionen gennem deres omfattende aktiviteter inden for områder som design, udvikling, varemærkning og indkøb.
Some of the importers, most of them pertaining to the group of branded footwear producers, submitted that the measures would harm the significant ‘manufacturing value added’ by them in the Union through their significant activities in the areas of notably design, development, branding and sourcing.
Undersøgelsen bekræftede i den henseende, at mange importører ganske rigtigt ikke blot forhandler sko, men også er engagerede inden for Unionen i merværdiskabende aktiviteter, jf. ovenfor.
In this respect the investigation confirmed that indeed many importers do not just simply trade shoes but are also engaged, in the Union, in value-adding activities as those mentioned above.
Disse aktiviteter skaber høj beskæftigelse.
Such activities are generating significant high level employment.
Det skal derfor bemærkes, at oplysningerne fra importørerne i stikprøven ikke viste et fald i disse virksomheders beskæftigelse vedrørende den pågældende vare i perioden 2005-UP.
In this respect it is noted that the information provided by the sampled importers did not point at any decline in these companies’ employment allocated to the product concerned during the period 2005 — RIP.
De samlede beskæftigelsestal for producenter af mærkevarefodtøj i stikprøven tydede tværtimod på en let stigning.
On the contrary, the aggregated employment figures of the sampled branded footwear producers point rather at a slight increase in such employment.
Dette skyldes, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne — i overensstemmelse med deres formål — ikke har blokeret importen af lædersko til Unionen med oprindelse i Kina og Vietnam, men nærmere tilpasset deres prisniveau med henblik på at skabe ensartede vilkår.
This follows from the fact that, in line with their purpose, the anti-dumping measures have not blocked entrance to the Union market of leather shoes originating in the PRC and Vietnam, but rather adjusted their price level in order to restore a level playing field.
Desuden er toldens niveau i denne sag moderat, og importørerne kan derudover skifte til andre producentlande, hvilket de også i nogle tilfælde har gjort.
Moreover, the level of the duties is in this case modest and the importers can, in addition, switch origin — as they have in some cases indeed done.
Ud fra ovenstående afvises påstanden om, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne vil bringe den høje beskæftigelse, som disse importører har skabt i Unionen, i fare.
In view of the above, the argument that the anti-dumping measures would jeopardize the high level jobs that these importers have generated in the Union is dismissed.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderes det endeligt, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne i perioden 2006-UP havde en indvirkning på den økonomiske situation i Unionen blandt importørerne af den pågældende vare, men denne indvirkning kan ikke betragtes som uforholdsmæssig, da det i denne undersøgelse blev konkluderet, at importørerne generelt har en stærk markedsposition.
On the basis of the above analysis it is definitively concluded that, during the period 2006-RIP, the anti-dumping measures have had an impact on the economic situation of the importers of the product concerned in the Union, but this impact is not considered to be disproportionate given the overall strong market position of the importers found in the investigation.
Den begrænsede forværring af importørernes økonomiske situation synes at være fortsat i de ni måneder efter undersøgelsesperioden.
The limited deterioration of the economic situation of the importers appears to have continued during the nine months following the RIP.
Sektoren er dog generelt i god stand, og fortjenesten på den pågældende vare er stadig høj.
However, the sector is generally speaking in a good shape and the profits obtained on the product under review are still high.
Det betragtes derfor som usandsynligt, at opretholdelsen af foranstaltningerne vil få betydelige negative virkninger for importørernes interesser.
It is therefore considered unlikely that maintaining the measures would have a significant adverse effect on the interests of importers.
Det fremgår af de foreliggende oplysninger, at ca. 60 % af alt fortøj på detail/distributions-markedet i Unionen forhandles af »traditionelle« specialiserede distributører, som består af store detailhandlere, der ofte importerer varerne selv, og såkaldte indkøbsgrupper, og ca. 40 % af alt fodtøj forhandles af »generelle distributører« bestående af supermarkeder, tøjbutikker og stormagasiner.
The information available indicates that in the retail/distribution market in the Union roughly 60 % of all footwear is traded by the ‘traditional’ specialist distribution consisting of large retailers that are often importing shoes themselves and so-called buying groups and around 40 % of all footwear is traded by ‘non-specialist’ distribution, consisting of supermarkets, clothing shops as well as department stores.
Det anslås, at sektoren for detailhandlere/distributører i Unionen beskæftiger ca. 140000 personer, som varetager salg af den pågældende vare til forbrugerne.
It is estimated that the retailers/distributors sector in the Union employs around 140000 people in the sales of the product concerned to consumers.
Det skal bemærkes, at de større detailhandlere ofte er dominerende i de nordlige medlemsstater, mens detailsalget i de sydlige medlemsstater ofte varetages af små og mellemstore virksomheder.
To be noted that while in the northern Union Member States larger retailers are dominating, in the southern Member States retailing is often done by SME's.
De større detailkæder ønskede ikke at deltage i stikprøven af importører og besvarede ikke det detaljerede spørgeskema for detailhandlere, men en større importør/detailhandler samt en gruppe af detailhandlere indsendte dog skriftlige redegørelser og blev hørt.
Whereas the large retail chains did not wish to participate in the importers sample and did not respond to the detailed retailers’ questionnaire, one large importer/retailer as well as a group of retailers submitted written representations and were granted hearings.
Den eneste detailhandler, hvis besvarelser kunne efterprøves, var derfor Clark's, som samarbejdede i sin egenskab af importør.
Consequently, the only retailer whose replies could be verified was Clark's, which cooperated as an importer.
Der blev modtaget besvarelser af spørgeskemaet for sammenslutninger af grossister, distributører og detailhandlere fra European association of fashion retailers (AEDT), the European Branded Footwear Coalition (EBFC), the European Outdoor Group (EOG), EuroCommerce, som repræsenterer sektoren for detail- og grossistsalg og internationalt salg i Europa, the Federation of European Sporting Goods Industries (FESI), the Foreign Trade Association (FTA), the Dutch association of fashion, shoes and sports retailers MITEX og Svenskt Sportforum.
Replies to the questionnaire for associations of wholesalers, distributors and retailers were received from the European association of fashion retailers (AEDT), the European Branded Footwear Coalition (EBFC), the European Outdoor Group (EOG), EuroCommerce representing the retail, wholesale and international trade sectors in Europe, the Federation of European Sporting Goods Industries (FESI), the Foreign Trade Association (FTA), the Dutch association of fashion, shoes and sports retailers MITEX, and Svenskt Sportforum.
Ingen supermarkedskæder besvarede spørgeskemaet, men Lidl indsendte dog oplysninger om kædens køb og videreslag af den pågældende vare mellem 2005 og 2008.
No supermarket chain responded to the questionnaire, however Lidl provided information on its purchases and resales of the product concerned between 2005 and 2008.
Ovennævnte sammenslutninger og detailhandlere var imod foranstaltningerne og en videreførelse heraf, og fremførte navnlig, at foranstaltningerne medførte et fald i rentabiliteten og var grunden til, at mange detailhandlere søgte nye alternativer til leverandørerne.
The above associations and retailers opposed the measures and any prolongation thereof, basically arguing that the measures decreased profitability and caused many retailers to search for alternative sources of supply.
De påstod desuden, at en udvidelse af foranstaltningerne ville skade den europæiske fodtøjsindustri, som med held har tilpasset sig til udfordringerne og mulighederne på moderne markeder, der udliciterer produktionen.
They have also claimed that the extension of the measures would harm the European footwear industry which has successfully adapted to the challenges and opportunities of modern markets which outsource manufacturing.
De påstod, at foranstaltningerne ikke har imødegået en massiv udflytning af produktionen, som ikke vil blive ført tilbage til Unionen, da EU-producenterne ikke er i stand til at efterkomme efterspørgslen efter et bredt sortiment af kvalitetssko til lave priser.
They maintained that the measures have not avoided massive delocalization of production which will not come back to the Union as Union producers are unable to fulfil the demand for a wide choice of quality footwear at low prices.
Med henblik på at vurdere påstanden om faldende fortjenstmargener siden indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne blev der først gennemført en analyse af distributørernes/detailhandlernes købspriser på den pågældende vare i forhold til deres salgspriser i perioden 2005-UP.
In order to assess the claim of decreased profit margins since the imposition of anti-dumping measures, in a first step, an analysis of the distributors/retailers purchase prices of the product concerned as compared to the sales prices they achieved during the period 2005-RIP, was made.
På grundlag af stikprøvebesvarelserne fra importørerne i stikprøven fremgår det af betragtning 425 ovenfor, at importørernes videresalgspriser, som modsvarer distributørernes/detailhandlernes købspriser, var stabile eller kun steg en anelse i perioden 2005-UP.
As described in recital 425 above, based on the questionnaire replies of the sampled importers it appeared that the importers’ resale prices, which equal the distributors/retailers’ purchase prices, were stable or increased only slightly during the period 2005 - RIP.
Dernæst blev udviklingen i videresalgspriserne undersøgt, og da detailhandlerne ikke havde indsendt tilstrækkeligt nøjagtige oplysninger, blev der indhentet data fra medlemsstaternes statistiske kontorer, som i alt repræsenterede 66 % af befolkningen i Unionen.
In a second step, the development of the resale prices was examined, and, due to the lack of precise data submitted by retailers, information was collected from statistical offices of Member States which altogether represented 66 % of the Union population.
Iflg. disse oplysninger steg detailpriserne i den betragtede periode generelt set kun lidt, jf. nedenstående tabel:
This information suggests that the retail price development during the period considered had, generally, been one of a very modest increase, as the below table shows:
Gennemsnitlige forbrugerpriser i visse medlemsstater (indekseret)
Average consumer prices in certain Member States (indexed)

‘footwear’
»børnefodtøj«
‘children footwear’
spadseresko
‘chaussures de ville’
»damefodtøj«
‘ladies footwear’
»herrefodtøj«
‘men's footwear’
Selv om ovennævnte kategorier af sko ikke helt svarer til varedefinitionen, domineres de af den pågældende vare, og tendenserne i tabellen kan derfor betragtes som en gyldig reference for detailsalgspriserne på den pågældende vare.
The above mentioned categories of shoes, although not exactly matching the product definition, are dominated by the product in question and the trends above can therefore be considered as a valid reference for the retail sales prices of the product concerned.
