De makroøkonomiske aspekter (produktion, kapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, salgsmængder, markedsandel, dumpingmargenernes vækst og størrelse) blev vurderet for hele EU-produktionen på grundlag af oplysninger fra CEPIFINE.
The macroeconomic elements (production, capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth and magnitude of dumping margins) were assessed at the level of the whole Union production, on the basis of the information provided by CEPIFINE.
Analysen af mikroøkonomiske aspekter blev foretaget over for EU-producenterne (gennemsnitlige enhedspriser, beskæftigelse, lønninger, produktivitet, lagre, rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast, evne til at skaffe kapital) på grundlag af oplysninger fra producenterne, som er behørigt kontrolleret.
The analysis of microeconomic elements was carried out at the level of the Union producers (average unit prices, employment, wages, productivity, stocks, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments, ability to raise capital) on the basis of their information, duly verified.
En af parterne hævdede, at en af de samarbejdsvillige producenter ikke samarbejdede i fuldt omfang, fordi producenten var forretningsmæssigt forbundet med en anden EU-producent gennem 1. aktiebesiddelse og 2. et joint venture bestående af eksklusivaftaler om salg og råvarelevering.
One party claimed that one of the cooperating producers failed to fully cooperate as it would be related to another producer in the European Union through: 1. shareholding; and 2. a joint venture consisting of exclusive sales and raw material supply agreements.
Undersøgelsen bekræftede imidlertid, at den pågældende EU-producents aktiebesiddelse var af begrænset omfang og lå under loftet i artikel 143 i Kommissionens forordning 2454/93 [4] om visse gennemførelsesbestemmelser til Rådets forordning om indførelse af en EF-toldkodeks.
The investigation on the other hand confirmed that the number of shares hold by the EU producer in question was minor and below the threshold set in Article 143 of the IPCCC [4].
Endvidere indeholdt aftalerne mellem de to virksomheder ikke elementer, som kunne have givet anledning til at tro, at forholdet mellem virksomhederne ville udvikle sig til mere end et normalt forretningsforhold mellem køber og sælger.
Furthermore, the agreements between the two companies did not include any elements that would have led to a consideration that the relationship between the companies would be extending beyond a normal business relationship between a buyer and a seller.

Som det fremgår af ovenstående tabel, faldt produktionsmængden for EU-erhvervsgrenen med 20 % i løbet af den betragtede periode.
As shown in the above table, the production volume of the Union industry decreased by 20 % over the period considered.
Det bør bemærkes, at selv om EU-forbruget steg med omkring 1 % mellem 2006 og 2008, faldt produktionen for EU-erhvervsgrenen med 2 % i den periode, hvorimod den faldt markant mellem 2008 og UP i tråd med faldet i EU-forbruget.
It should be noted that although Union consumption increased by around 1 % between 2006 and 2008, the production of the Union industry fall by 2 % during that period, while it decreased significantly between 2008 and the IP, following the drop in the Union consumption.
Siden 2000 har EU-producenterne gennemført omfattende omstruktureringer for at afhjælpe en strukturel overkapacitet.
Since 2000, Union producers have undertaken major restructuring efforts aiming at addressing structural overcapacity.
Gennem konsolideringer og lukninger af anlæg nedbragte EU-erhvervsgrenen sin produktionskapacitet for coated finpapir med omkring 770000 ton mellem 2006 og UP svarende til 11 %.
Through consolidations and mill closures the Union industry decreased its CFP production capacity by approximately 770000 tonnes between 2006 and the IP, i.e. by 11 %.
Trods faldet i den samlede kapacitet faldt udnyttelsesgraden alligevel fra 92 % i 2006 til 83 % i UP.
Despite the drop in total capacity, utilisation rates still declined from 92 % in 2006 to 83 % in the IP.
Det største fald skete i perioden fra 2008 til UP.
The main decrease occurred in the period between 2008 and the IP.
Det bemærkes, at høj kapacitetsudnyttelse er en vigtig faktor for papirproducenternes langsigtede levedygtighed på grund af store investeringer i anlægsaktiver.
It is noted that high capacity utilisation is an important factor in the long-term viability of the paper producing producers because of high investment in fixed assets.
Derfor blev kapacitetsudnyttelsen i UP betragtet som lav.
Therefore, the capacity utilisation rate during the IP was considered to be low.
Selv om EU-forbruget voksede med 4 % mellem 2006 og 2007 (se betragtning 81 ovenfor), steg salgsmængden for den pågældende vare fra EU-erhvervsgrenen til uafhængige kunder på EU-markedet kun med 2 % i samme periode.
While Union consumption grew by 4 % between 2006 and 2007 (see recital 81 above), the sales volume of the product concerned by the Union industry to independent customers on the Union market only increased by 2 % during that same period.
Det betyder, at EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke kunne drage fordel af det øgede forbrug i den periode.
This means that the Union industry could not benefit fully from the increased consumption in that period.
Desuden faldt salgsmængden for alle EU-producenter endnu mere, med 18 %, mellem 2008 og UP, mens EU-forbruget faldt med 15 %.
Moreover, between 2008 and the IP, whereas Union consumption decreased by 15 %, the sales volume of all Union producers decreased even more, by 18 %.
Derfor oplevede EU-erhvervsgrenen et konstant og betydeligt fald i salgsmængden efter en mindre stigning i 2007, hvilket gav sig udtryk i mistede markedsandele på 5 procentpoint i den betragtede periode.
Consequently the Union industry’s sales volume, after a small increase in 2007, decreased continuously and significantly which translated in a loss in market share of 5 percentage points during the period considered.
Når man ser på udviklingen i den betragtede periode, var faldet på 19 % i EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde langt mere udtalt end faldet på 14 % i EU-forbruget.
When looking at the development over the period considered, the drop of 19 % in the sales volume of the Union industry was far more pronounced than the decrease of 14 % in Union consumption.
Følgelig faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel også markant med 5 procentpoint i samme periode.
As a consequence, the market share of the Union industry also decreased significantly by 5 percentage points during the same period.
Dumpingmargenernes størrelse
Magnitude of dumping margins
De foreløbige dumpingmargener for Kina er betydelige, jf. afsnittet ovenfor om dumping.
The provisional dumping margins for the PRC, specified above in the dumping section, are significant.
I betragtning af størrelsen af og priserne på dumpingimporten kan virkningerne af de faktiske dumpingmargener ikke anses for at være ubetydelige.
Given the volumes and the prices of the dumped imports, the impact of the actual margins of dumping cannot be considered to be negligible.
Data vedrørende samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter (mikroøkonomiske indikatorer)
Data relating to the cooperating Union producers (microeconomic indicators)
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters gennemsnitlige enhedssalgspriser
Average unit prices of the cooperating Union producers
De gennemsnitlige salgspriser ab fabrik for de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder på EU-markedet steg i 2007, faldt efterfølgende og vendte i 2009 tilbage til næsten samme niveau som i begyndelsen af den betragtede periode.
Average ex-works sales prices of the cooperating Union producers to unrelated customers on the Union market increased in 2007, afterwards they decreased and by 2009 returned to almost the same level as in the beginning of the period considered.
Samlet set lå priserne på coated finpapir på et stabilt niveau i årenes løb.
Overall, the prices of coated fine paper remained stable over the years.
EU-producenternes priser
Prices of the Union producers
Lagrene udgjorde ca. 10 % af produktionsmængden i UP.
Stocks represented around 10 % of the production volume in the IP.
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter øgede deres lagre med 14 % i den betragtede periode, navnlig mellem 2006 og 2007 og senere mellem 2008 og UP.
The cooperating Union producers increased its stock levels by 14 % during the period considered, in particular between 2006 and 2007 and later between 2008 and the IP.
Dette faldt navnlig sammen med stigningen i dumpingimport til lavpris fra Kina.
Notably, this coincided with the surge in the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC.
Arbejdskraftomkostninger (EUR pr. FTÆ)
Labour cost (EUR/FTE)
På grund af fabrikslukninger og konsolidering hos de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter blev antallet af ansatte kraftigt reduceret med 11 % (næsten 900 job) i den betragtede periode.
Due to the mill closures and consolidation of the cooperating Union producers, the number of employees was reduced substantially by 11 % (almost 900 jobs) during the period considered.
Det bemærkes, at ovenstående beskæftigelsestal for UP er højere på grund af de medarbejdere, som en af de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter ansatte i begyndelsen af UP.
It is noted that above employment figures for the IP are inflated by the number of employees acquired by one of the cooperating Union producers at the beginning of the IP.
Faldet i beskæftigelsen svarer til 20 %, hvis der ses bort fra disse ansættelsers indvirkning på indikatoren.
The fall in employment equalled 20 % if the effect of the acquisition on this indicator is disregarded.
Arbejdskraftomkostningerne steg konstant med en samlet stigning på 10 % i løbet af den betragtede periode.
Labour costs increased steadily, totalling a 10 % increase over the period considered.
Rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investment
Ændring (100 = 2006)
Change (100 = 2006)
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter havde tab i årene 2006 til 2008, og den økonomiske situation blev først positiv i 2009, hvor verdensmarkedsprisen på papirmasse, den vigtigste råvare, faldt betydeligt som følge af den økonomiske krise.
The cooperating Union producers incurred losses in the years 2006 to 2008 and the financial situation only turned positive in 2009 when the world price of pulp, the main raw material decreased significantly as a result of the economic downturn.
Faldet i prisen på papirmasse i 2009 var på 19 % i forhold til gennemsnitsprisen i 2008, hvilket blev anset for et usædvanligt stort fald, som bidrog direkte til den forbedrede økonomiske situation i undersøgelsesperioden.
The drop in the price of pulp in 2009 was 19 % on the average price in 2008 which was considered an abnormally large drop and which contributed directly to the improved financial situation in the IP.
Tendensen for likviditeten, som er producenternes evne til at selvfinansiere deres aktiviteter, afspejler i stort omfang udviklingen i rentabiliteten.
The trend shown by the cash flow, which is the ability of the producers to self-finance its activities, reflects to a large extent the evolution of profitability.
Derfor viser likviditeten en usædvanlig kraftig stigning i løbet af UP på grund af de faldende priser på papirmasse.
Consequently, the cash flow shows an exceptional increase in the IP due to the falling pulp prices.
Investeringsafkastet udviklede sig negativt i lighed med de negative fortjenstresultater hos de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter frem til 2008 og en positiv tendens inden for UP som følge af de ekstraordinære omkostningsbesparelser på grund af papirmassepriserne.
Return on investments showed negative development in line with the negative profit results achieved by the cooperating Union producers until 2008 and a positive trend in the IP due to the exceptional cost savings on pulp prices.
Af ovenstående fremgår det, at de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters evne til at investere blev begrænset, da likviditeten forværredes markant i den betragtede periode, dog ikke i UP.
Following the above, the ability of the cooperating Union producers to invest became limited as the cash flow significantly deteriorated during the period considered, except for the IP.
Derfor faldt investeringerne med 35 % i den betragtede periode og begrænsede sig til installering af kraftvarmeanlæg, der har hjulpet EU-producenterne med at afbøde virkningerne af de konstante stigninger i energiomkostningerne.
As a consequence, the investments dropped by 35 % during the period considered and were limited to the installation of cogeneration plants that helped the Union producers to mitigate the effect of continuously raising energy costs.
Papirindustrien er overordnet set kendetegnet ved en stor gældsætning som følge af de betydelige faste anlægsinvesteringer.
The paper industry in general is characterised by high indebtedness linked to the significant investment in fixed assets.
Som følge af tabene i størstedelen af den betragtede periode blev de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters evne til at skaffe kapital og finansiere deres aktiviteter med rimelige finansieringsomkostninger også undergravet.
As a consequence of the losses incurred in most of the period considered, the ability of the cooperating Union producers to raise capital and to finance its activities at reasonable finance costs was also undermined.
Dette gjaldt navnlig i 2008, hvor en af de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter måtte refinansieres med en betydelig risikopræmie, mens den mindste samarbejdsvillige producent gik i betalingsstandsning i 2008 og blev overtaget af en anden EU-producent.
This was the case in particular in 2008 when one of the cooperating Union producers had to be refinanced at a significant risk premium while the smallest cooperating producer went into insolvency in 2008 and was taken over by another Union producer.
Det fremgår af undersøgelsen, at de fleste skadesindikatorer som f.eks. produktionsmængde (– 20 %), kapacitetsudnyttelse (– 10 %), salgsmængde til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder på EU-markedet (– 19 %) og markedsandel (– 5 procentpoint) forværredes i den betragtede periode.
The investigation has shown that most of the injury indicators such as production volume (– 20 %), capacity utilisation (– 10 %), sales volume to unrelated customers on the Union market (– 19 %), market share (– 5 percentage points) deteriorated during the period considered.
Desuden blev skadesindikatorerne vedrørende de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters økonomiske resultater som investeringsafkast og rentabilitet kraftigt påvirket frem til 2008.
In addition, the injury indicators related to the financial performance of the cooperating Union producers such as return on investment and profitability were seriously affected until 2008.
Den pludselige stigning i rentabiliteten i UP skyldes udelukkende det midlertidige og ekstraordinære fald i verdensmarkedspriserne på papirmasse i UP.
The sudden increase of the profitability in the IP was due purely to the temporary and exceptional drop of world pulp prices in the IP.
Det bemærkes, at selv i UP var rentabiliteten meget lav og førte ikke til nogen ændring af konklusionen om, at de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter befinder sig i en meget svag økonomisk position.
It is noted that even during the IP the profitability rate was very low and was not considered to be altering the conclusion that the cooperating Union producers were in a very weak financial position.
Undersøgelsen viste også, at ovenstående skadesbillede hovedsagelig kan forklares med, at de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter trods deres omstruktureringsbestræbelser og produktivitetsforbedringer ikke var i stand til at hæve deres priser på coated finpapir til et niveau, der mere end blot dækker deres omkostninger.
The investigation also showed that the above injury picture can be mainly explained by the fact that despite its restructuring efforts and productivity improvements the cooperating Union producers were not able to raise their CFP prices above cost-covering level.
Dette skyldes især prisunderbuddet fra de kinesiske producenters side i UP, som havde store konsekvenser på et marked med stor prisgennemsigtighed.
This is mainly due to the price undercutting practiced by the Chinese exporters during the IP which has a significant effect in a market where price transparency is high.
Det lykkedes de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter i UP at nedbringe deres produktionsomkostninger gennem yderligere produktivitetsforbedringer og som følge af faldet i priserne på papirmasse, der hovedsagelig indtraf i anden halvdel af UP.
During the IP, the cooperating Union producers managed to reduce their cost of production through further productivity improvement and due to the decrease of pulp prices which mainly occurred in the second half of the IP.
Da der kom en bedre ligevægt mellem udbud og efterspørgsel på markedet efter producenternes indsats for at løse den strukturelle overkapacitet gennem konsolidering og kapacitetsnedlægning, lykkedes det at holde priserne på coated finpapir på et stabilt niveau.
As demand and supply became more balanced on the market following the efforts of the producers to tackle structural overcapacity by means of consolidation and capacity closures, CFP prices could be kept at a stable level.
Men de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter var ikke i stand til at hæve deres salgspriser til et niveau, der kan sikre den nødvendige rentabilitet og sikre levedygtigheden på længere sigt.
However, the cooperating Union producers were not in a position to increase their sales prices to a level that would have profitability rates necessary for long-term viability.
Som omtalt i betragtning 17 ovenfor, hævdede en part, at coated finpapir, som anvendes til rotationstryk, burde have været omfattet af denne undersøgelse.
As mentioned above in recital 17, one party claimed that CFP used in web-fed printing should have been included in the scope of the present investigation.
Derfor hævdede parten, at da varen blev udelukket fra fastlæggelsen af væsentlig skade og analysen af udviklingstendenser, var skadesbilledet blevet fordrejet.
On this basis, the party claimed that the exclusion of this product from the determination of material injury and the analysis of trends would have distorted the injury picture.
På grundlag af konklusionerne i betragtning 20 og 22, dvs. at coated finpapir til brug i henholdsvis rotationspresser og fladtrykspresser er forskellige varer, blev påstanden dog afvist.
However, based on the conclusions presented in recitals 20 and 22, i.e. that CFP used in web-fed and sheet-fed printing are different products, this claim was rejected.
En part hævdede, at en af de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters opkøb af en anden EU-producent i 2008 var tegn på, at denne samarbejdsvillige EU-producent har det rimeligt godt.
The same party claimed that the acquisition of one Union producer by one of the cooperating Union producers in 2008 was evidence that this cooperating Union producer was in rather good health.
Man bemærkede som udgangspunkt, at væsentlige skader vurderes på grundlag af situationen for EU-erhvervsgrenen og ikke er baseret på situationen for en enkelt producent.
It is first noted that material injury is assessed on the basis of the situation of the Union industry and not based on the particular situation of a single producer.
Som det konkluderes i betragtning 107 ovenfor, har de fleste skadesindikatorer udvist en negativ tendens, der tyder på, at EU-erhvervsgrenens situation er blevet forværret i den betragtede periode.
As concluded in recital 107 above, most injury indicators have shown a negative trend evidencing the deterioration of the Union industry’s situation over the period considered.
Opkøbet blev desuden anset som et led i EU-erhvervsgrenens omstruktureringsbestræbelser i den betragtede periode.
The acquisition was furthermore considered as part of the restructuring efforts of the Union industry during the period considered.
Under alle omstændigheder bemærkes det, at når man analyserer makroindikatorer som produktionsmængde, kapacitet, salgsmængde og markedsandel, har opkøbet haft en neutral virkning, eftersom man vurderer makroindikatorer for alle EU-producenter, som udgør EU-erhvervsgrenen som defineret i betragtning 77.
In any case, it is noted that when analysing macro indicators such as production volume, capacity, sales volume and market share the acquisition had a neutral effect since macro indicators are assessed with respect to all Union producers constituting the Union industry as defined in recital 77.
Disse faktorer vil med andre ord forblive uændrede i tilfælde af et ejerskifte.
In other words these factors should remain overall unchanged in case of a change in the ownership.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderes det foreløbigt, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
Considering the above, it is provisionally concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, blev det undersøgt, om den betydelige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt, skyldtes dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the material injury suffered by the Union industry has been caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned.
Det skal bemærkes, at EU's marked for coated finpapir er kendetegnet ved en høj grad af koncentration af købekraft og prisgennemsigtighed gennem pristilbud.
It is to be noted that the Union CFP market is characterised by a high degree of concentration of buying power and price transparency through price quotations.
Desuden er coated finpapir en råvare og rummer ikke mulighed for betydelige prisforskelle fra forskellige kilder.
Furthermore CFP is a commodity-type product and does not allow for significant price differences among different sources.
En stor del af produkterne sælges gennem forhandlere, der tvinger EU-erhvervsgrenen til at holde priserne på samme niveau som dumpingimport til lave priser.
A major part of the products is sold through merchants that force the Union industry to keep prices in line with low priced and dumped imports.
Derfor har priserne på importeret coated finpapir, hvoraf 35 % stammede fra Kina i UP, generelt haft stor indvirkning på prisniveauerne på EU-markedet.
Therefore the prices of imported CFP, out of which 35 % originated in the PRC in the IP, have in general a significant effect on price levels on the Union market.
Undersøgelsen viste, at dumpingimporten fra Kina steg dramatisk (+ 183 %) i den betragtede periode.
The investigation showed that dumped imports from the PRC increased dramatically (+ 183 %) over the period considered.
Dumpingimporten fra Kina blev først fordoblet fra 2006 til 2007, mens priserne i 2007 var 2 % lavere end året før.
The dumped imports from the PRC first doubled from 2006 to 2007, while prices were in 2007 2 % lower than the year before.
I 2008 lå importen fra Kina stabilt, mens gennemsnitspriserne faldt med endnu 1 %.
In 2008 imports from China remained stable while average prices fall by 1 more %.
Importmængden fra Kina (+ 71 %) og markedsandelen (+ 120 %) steg igen dramatisk i UP med faldende underbudspriser (– 5 %), der lå 5,6 % under de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters, og pressede dermed priserne på EU-markedet og forhindrede de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter i at hæve deres priser til rentable niveauer.
Chinese import volumes (+ 71 %) and market share (+ 120 %) increased again dramatically in the IP with falling prices (– 5 %) undercutting the prices of the cooperating Union producers by 5,6 % thereby exerting price pressure on the Union market and preventing the Union producers to raise their prices to profitable levels.
Der erindres om, at forbruget i EU faldt med omkring 14 % i den betragtede periode.
It is recalled that during the period considered the Union consumption decreased by about 14 %.
