Det konkluderes derfor, at den geografiske placering ikke i væsentligt omfang bidrager til den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Consequently, it is concluded that geographical location did not materially contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry to a material extent.
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens skade skyldtes, at mange EU-producenter ikke er vertikalt integrerede (hvad angår produktion af PTA) og altså er betydeligt dårligere stillet, hvad angår omkostninger, end de integrerede eksportører.
Some interested parties argued that any injury suffered by the Union industry would be caused by the fact that many Union producers are not vertically integrated (in terms of production of PTA) and thus have a significant cost disadvantage vis-à-vis integrated exporters.
De efterprøvede data fra EU-producenterne i stikprøven viste ingen væsentlig sammenhæng mellem vertikal integration af PTA-produktionen og EU-producenternes økonomiske resultater.
The verified data from the sampled Union producers did not show any significant correlation between the vertical integration of the PTA production and the economic performance of the Union producers.
Det konkluderes derfor, at manglende vertikal integration af PTA-produktionen ikke synes at bidrage til den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Consequently, it is concluded that lack of vertical integration of the PTA production did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
På baggrund af det tidsmæssige sammenfald mellem den øgede subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande, dens voksende markedsandel og det konstaterede underbud på den ene side og EU-erhvervsgrenens tydeligt forværrede situation på den anden side kan det konkluderes, at den subsidierede import er årsag til den væsentlige skade, der er forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 5.
The coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the increase in subsidised imports from the countries concerned, the increase in market shares and the undercutting found and, on the other hand, the deterioration in the situation of the Union producers, leads to the conclusion that the subsidised imports caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation.
Andre faktorer blev analyseret, men det konstateredes, at de ikke brød årsagssammenhængen mellem virkningerne af den subsidierede import og den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Other factors were analysed but were found not to break the causal link between the effects of the subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Importen fra Republikken Korea kan have bidraget til den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, men i betragtning af den ringe prisforskel mellem disse importerede varer og EU-markedet konkluderes det, at den ikke brød den konstaterede årsagssammenhæng mellem den subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande og EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
Imports from the Republic of Korea may have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry, but given the small price difference between these imports and the Union market, this is considered not to break the causal link established with the subsidised imports from the countries concerned.
Som følge af den svindende markedsandel og det høje prisniveau er der ikke bevis for, at importen fra andre tredjelande har bidraget til den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Due to the declining market share and their high price level, there is no evidence that imports from other third counties have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Desuden har ingen andre kendte faktorer, f.eks. EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater, konkurrence fra andre EU-producenter, den økonomiske krise, geografisk placering og manglende vertikal integration, bidraget til EU-erhvervsgrenens skade i et omfang, der kan bryde årsagssammenhængen.
Moreover, no other known factor, i.e. the export performance of the Union industry, competition from the other Union producers, the economic downturn, the geographical location and lack of vertical integration, has contributed to the injury of the Union industry to an extent that it would break the causal link.
I betragtning af ovenstående analyse, hvor der omhyggeligt er gjort rede for alle kendte faktorers virkninger på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation og den subsidierede imports skadevoldende virkninger, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at importen fra de pågældende lande har forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 5.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors having an effect on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effect of the subsidised imports, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from the countries concerned have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation.
Kommissionen undersøgte i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 31, om der til trods for konklusionerne om subsidiering, skade og årsagssammenhæng tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke er i Unionens interesse at indføre foranstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusions on subsidisation, injury, and causation, compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
Med henblik herpå og i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 31, stk. 1, undersøgte Kommissionen den sandsynlige virkning af eventuelle foranstaltninger for de interesserede parter såvel som de sandsynlige konsekvenser af ikke at træffe foranstaltninger.
For this purpose and pursuant to Article 31(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission considered the likely impact of possible measures on all parties involved as well as the likely consequences of not taking measures.
Kommissionen sendte spørgeskemaer til uafhængige importører, leverandører af råvarer, brugere og deres sammenslutninger.
The Commission sent questionnaires to independent importers, suppliers of raw materials, users and their associations.
I alt blev der udsendt over 50 spørgeskemaer, men der blev kun modtaget 13 besvarelser inden for de fastsatte frister.
In total, over 50 questionnaires were sent out, but only 13 replies were received within the time limits set.
Desuden gav 22 brugere sig til kende i løbet af undersøgelsen og fremsendte redegørelser, hvori de gjorde indsigelser imod indførelsen af eventuelle foranstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In addition, 22 users came forward later in the proceeding with letters expressing opposition to any possible measures in this case.
Det forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for importen fra de pågældende lande vil forhindre yderligere markedsforvridninger og pristryk og genoprette rimelige konkurrencevilkår på markedet.
It is expected that the imposition of measures on imports from the countries concerned would prevent further distortions of the market, suppression of prices and restore fair competition.
Dette vil samtidig give EU-erhvervsgrenen en mulighed for at forbedre sin situation på grund af øgede priser, salgsmængder og markedsandele.
This, in turn, would provide the Union industry with an opportunity to improve its situation due to increased prices, increased sales volumes and market share.
Uden foranstaltninger forventes det, at importen fra de pågældende lande fortsat vil øges til lave priser, der underbyder EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
In the absence of measures, it is expected that imports from the countries concerned would continue to increase at low prices undercutting the prices of the Union industry.
I så fald vil EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke få mulighed for at forbedre sin situation.
In this case, the Union industry would not have the opportunity to improve its situation.
I betragtning af EU-erhvervsgrenens vanskelige økonomiske situation kan der forventes flere lukninger med deraf følgende tab af arbejdspladser.
Given the bad financial state of the Union industry, more closures would be expected with the resulting loss in employment.
Der er ingen tegn på, at de andre EU-producenter, der ikke aktivt samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, har andre interesser end EU-erhvervsgrenens interesser.
There is no indication that the interests of the other producers in the Union that have not actively cooperated with the investigation would be different from those indicated for the Union industry.
Den iranske virksomhed påstod, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ikke vil hjælpe EU-erhvervsgrenen, idet det kun vil føre til nye investeringer i andre eksporterende lande.
The Iranian company argued that the imposition of measures would not help the Union industry because it would only lead to new investments in other exporting countries.
Denne påstand kan ikke accepteres, da det i yderste konsekvens ville betyde, at der aldrig kunne indføres udligningsforanstaltninger på varer, for hvilke investeringerne kan overføres til andre lande.
This argument can not be accepted as it would mean, when pushed to its logical consequence, that countervailing measures could never be imposed on products for which investments can be shifted to other countries.
Det ville samtidig udelukke beskyttelse mod urimelig handel på grund af muligheden for ny konkurrence fra andre tredjelande.
It would also mean denying protection against unfair trade just because of the possibility of new competition from other third countries.
Samme interesserede part påstod, at eventuelle foranstaltninger ikke kunne afhjælpe en strukturel konkurrencemæssigt ufordelagtig situation for EU-erhvervsgrenens produktion af PET sammenlignet med PET-produktionen i Asien og Mellemøsten.
The same interested party claimed that any measures could not remedy a structural competitive disadvantage of the EU PET production industry in comparison to the PET production industry in Asia and the Middle East.
Denne påstand var dog ikke tilstrækkeligt dokumenteret.
This argument, however, was not sufficiently substantiated.
Det skal bemærkes, at visse EU-producenter i stikprøven, som er vertikalt integrerede, også befinder sig i en vanskelig økonomisk situation.
It is noted that some sampled Union producers which are vertically integrated are also in a difficult financial situation.
Det konstateredes desuden, at de eksporterende producenter modtog udligningsberettigede subsidier, også selv om der måtte være konkurrencemæssige fordele (f.eks. gennem billigere adgang til råvarer).
In addition, even if there were possible competitive advantages (for example through cheaper access to raw materials), exporting producers were still found to receive countervailable subsidies.
Det konkluderes foreløbigt, at det vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse, at der indføres udligningsforanstaltninger.
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of countervailing measures would clearly be in the interest of the Union industry.
Ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne EU-importørers interesser
Interest of unrelated importers in the Union
Som det fremgår ovenfor, blev der anvendt stikprøver for de ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører, og ud af to virksomheder i stikprøven har kun en importerende agent (Global Services International eller »G.S.I.«) samarbejdet fuldt ud i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse ved at indsende en spørgeskemabesvarelse.
As indicated above, sampling was applied for the unrelated importers and out of two sampled companies only one importing agent (Global Services International, ‘G.S.I’.) has fully cooperated in this investigation by submitting a questionnaire reply.
Den import, som den samarbejdsvillige agent indberettede, udgør en væsentlig del af den samlede import fra de pågældende lande i UP.
The imports declared by the cooperating agent represent a significant proportion of all imports from the countries concerned in the IP.
Provision for importen af PET udgør den største del af G.S.I.'s aktiviteter.
Commissions for the imports of PET represent the majority of the G.S.I. business.
Da agenten arbejder på provisionsbasis, forventes indførelsen af en eventuel told ikke at få en væsentlig indflydelse på agentens resultater, da en eventuel stigning i importprisen sandsynligvis vil blive væltet over på virksomhedens kunder.
Given that the agent works on a commission basis, imposition of any duties is not expected to have a significant impact on his performance as any actual import price increase would likely be borne by his clients.
Ingen andre importører indsendte relevante oplysninger.
No other importer submitted relevant information.
Da importen fra andre lande, som for øjeblikket er pålagt antidumping- og/eller udligningsforanstaltninger, ikke ophørte, og da der kan importeres fra lande, som ikke er omfattet af handelsbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger (f.eks. Oman, USA, Brasilien), konkluderes det, at importørerne kan importere fra disse lande.
Given that imports from other countries where there are currently anti-dumping and/or countervailing measures in force did not stop and that imports are available from countries without any trade defence measures (e.g. Oman, USA, Brazil), it is considered that importers can import from these countries.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at indførelsen af midlertidige foranstaltninger ikke i væsentligt omfang vil få negative virkninger for EU-importørernes interesser.
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of provisional measures will not have negative effects on the interest of the EU importers to any significant extent.
Tre råvareleverandører (to PTA-leverandører og en MEG-leverandør) samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen ved at indsende spørgeskemabesvarelser inden for den fastsatte frist.
Three raw material suppliers (two of PTA and one of MEG) cooperated with the investigation by submitting the questionnaire reply within the set time limit.
Ca. 700 ansatte i deres europæiske anlæg er involveret i produktionen af PTA/MEG.
The staff employed in their European facilities and involved in the production of PTA/MEG was around 700.
PTA-producenterne er i høj grad afhængige af PET-producenternes situation, da disse er deres største kunder.
PTA producers are heavily dependant on the state of the PET producers that constitute their major clients.
Lave priser på PET medfører lavere priser på PTA og lavere margener for PTA-producenter.
Low prices of PET translate into lower prices of PTA and lower margins for the PTA producers.
Det skal bemærkes, at der pågår en antidumping- og antisubsidieundersøgelse vedrørende importen af PTA fra Thailand, hvilket betyder, at EU-producenterne af PTA også kan være udsat for urimelig konkurrence fra den thailandske import.
It is noted that there is an ongoing anti-dumping and an anti-subsidy investigation concerning imports of PTA originating in Thailand, meaning that the EU PTA producers may also face unfair competition from Thai imports.
Det konkluderes derfor, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for den subsidierede import af PET vil være en fordel for PTA-producenterne.
Consequently, it is considered that the imposition of measures on the subsidised imports of PET would benefit the PTA producers.
For den samarbejdsvillige MEG-leverandør udgør MEG mindre end 10 % af virksomhedens omsætning.
For the cooperating MEG supplier, MEG represents less than 10 % of its total turnover.
Vedrørende MEG skal det bemærkes, at PET ikke er den eneste eller største mulige anvendelse, og MEG-producenter er mindre afhængige af situationen i PET-industrien.
It is noted that with regard to MEG, PET is not its only or even the major possible application and MEG producers are less dependent on the situation of the PET industry.
Ikke desto mindre kan den vanskelige situation i PET-industrien have en vis indvirkning på MEG-leverandørerne i hvert på kort til mellemlang sigt.
Nonetheless, the difficulties of the PET industry may have some limited impact on the suppliers of MEG, at least in a short to medium term.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderes der foreløbigt, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for den subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande vil være i råvareleverandørernes interesser.
Given the above, it is provisionally concluded that imposition of measures on the subsidised imports from the counties concerned would be in the interest of raw material suppliers.
Den type PET, der er omfattet af denne undersøgelse (dvs. med viskositetsindeks på 78 ml/g og derover, den såkaldte »flaskekvalitet«) anvendes hovedsagelig til fremstilling af flasker til vand og andre drikkevarer.
PET subject to this proceeding (i.e. with the viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, so called ‘bottle grade’) is mostly used to produce bottles for water and other drinks.
Den anvendes i stigende, om end stadig begrænset, omfang til fremstilling af anden emballage (fødevarer i fast form eller rengøringsmidler) og til fremstilling af plader.
Its use for the production of other packages (solid foodstuff or detergents) and to produce sheet is developing, but it remains relatively limited.
PET-flasker produceres i to faser: i) først fremstilles en præform ved sprøjtestøbning af PET i forme og ii) senere varmes præformen og blæses i form til en flaske.
Bottles of PET are produced in two stages: (i) first a pre-form is made by mould injection of PET and (ii) later the pre-form is heated and blown into a bottle.
Flaskeproduktionen kan være en integreret proces (dvs. den samme virksomhed køber PET, producerer en præform og blæser den i form til en flaske) eller være begrænset til anden fase (blæse præformen til en flaske).
Bottle making can be an integrated process (i.e. the same company buys PET, produces a pre-form and blows it into the bottle) or limited to the second stage (blowing the pre-form into a bottle).
Præforme kan relativt let transporteres, da de er små og tætte, mens tomme flasker er ustabile og på grund af deres størrelse meget dyre at transportere.
Pre-forms can be relatively easily transported as they are small and dense, while empty bottles are instable and due to their size very expensive to transport.
Aftapningsvirksomheder (»tapperier«) fylder PET-flaskerne med vand og/eller andre drikkevarer.
PET bottles are filled with water and/or other beverages by the bottling companies (‘bottlers’).
Aftapningsvirksomhederne er ofte involveret i PET-industrien enten via integrerede flaskeproduktionsaktiviteter eller via forarbejdningsaftaler med konverteringsvirksomheder, der har fået opgaven i underentreprise, og/eller flaskeproducenter, på hvis vegne de forhandler om PET-prisen med producenten (»soft tolling«) eller endog køber PET til deres egne flasker (»hard tolling«).
The bottling companies are often involved in the PET business either via integrated bottle making operations or via tolling agreements with subcontracted converters and/or bottle makers for whom they negotiate the PET price with the producer (soft tolling) or even buy the PET for their own bottles (hard tolling).
Følgelig kan der skelnes mellem to brugergrupper:
Consequently, two groups of users may be distinguished:
konverteringsvirksomheder og/eller flaskeproducenter, som køber PET direkte hos producenterne, konverterer det til præforme (eller flasker) og videresælger det til videreforarbejdning (eller påfyldning), og
converters and/or bottle makers – that buy PET directly from producers, convert it into pre-forms (or bottles) and sell it further for downstream processing (or filling), and
tapperier, som køber PET til de virksomheder, som har flaskeproduktionen i underentreprise/konverteringsvirksomhederne (hard tolling), eller forhandler om den pris, som konverteringsvirksomheden, der har underentreprisen, og/eller flaskeproducenten skal betale for PET (soft tolling).
bottlers – that buy PET for their subcontracting bottle makers/converters (hard tolling) or negotiate the price for which the subcontracted converter and/or bottle maker will get the PET (soft tolling).
En sammenslutning, som repræsenterer de europæiske plastkonverteringsvirksomheder (EuPC), tilkendegav under en høring, at den forholder sig neutralt til denne procedure.
An association representing European plastic converters (EuPC) stated during a hearing that it takes a neutral stance towards this proceeding.
Selv om nogle af sammenslutningens medlemmer vil være imod enhver form for foranstaltninger, er det ikke holdbart med de nuværende priser på PET på det europæiske marked for de virksomheder, som genanvender PET.
Although some of its members would oppose any measures, the current level of PET prices on the European market is not sustainable for the PET recycling companies.
På et senere tidspunkt i undersøgelsen ændrede sammenslutningen holdning og gjorde indsigelser mod indførelsen af foranstaltninger.
However, at a later stage of the investigation, the association changed its position and expressed its opposition to the imposition of measures.
Sammenslutningen påstod, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ville medføre uforholdsmæssigt store omkostninger for EU-plastkonverteringsvirksomhederne, som overvejende består af små og mellemstore virksomheder.
The association claimed that the imposition of measures would bring excessive costs to the EU plastic converting industry, which is mainly composed of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).
Sammenslutningen påstod, at disse små og mellemstore virksomheder ikke vil være i stand til at absorbere højere PET-priser, hvilket enten vil tvinge dem til at indstille deres aktiviteter eller tilskynde dem til at flytte til lande uden for EU.
The association argued that these SMEs would not be able to absorb higher PET prices, which would either force them to close their activities or encourage them to relocate outside the EU.
Der forelå ikke yderligere dokumentation for disse påstande på dette tidspunkt.
These claims were not further substantiated at this stage.
Det fremgår af de foreliggende oplysninger, at PET, der anvendes til produktion af præforme, tegner sig for 70-80 % af konverteringsvirksomhedernes samlede produktionsomkostninger.
On the basis of the information available, the PET used in the production of pre-forms amounts to between 70 % and 80 % of the total cost of production for converters.
Der er således tale om en væsentlig omkostningskomponent for disse virksomheder.
It is therefore a critical cost component for these companies.
Indtil videre synes overvejelser vedrørende en placering tæt på kunderne og fleksible leverancer dog stadig at kompensere for de fordele, som nabolandene eventuelt kan tilbyde.
Still, for the moment, considerations like proximity to the client or flexibility of deliveries appear to compensate for the advantages the neighbouring countries may offer.
På grund af usikkerheden med hensyn til præform- og/eller flaskeproducenternes muligheder for at overvælte de øgede omkostninger på kunderne er det umuligt at drage klare konklusioner om virkningerne for konverteringsvirksomhedernes rentabilitet og overordnede resultater i denne indledende fase.
However, given the uncertainties as to the possibilities for the pre-form and/or bottle makers to pass on the increased costs to their customers, the impact on the profitability of converters and their overall performance cannot be clearly stated at this provisional stage.
De tegner sig for ca. 11 % af EU-forbruget af PET i UP.
They represent around 11 % of the Union consumption of PET in the IP.
En lang række interesserede parter påstod, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil medføre mangel på PET på EU-markedet, og at EU-producenterne ikke har tilstrækkelig kapacitet til at dække den nuværende efterspørgsel.
Several interested parties argued that imposition of measures would result in a shortage of PET on the EU market and that the Union producers do not have sufficient capacities to meet the existing demand.
