Det blev dog konstateret, at EU-erhvervsgrenens forbedrede rentabilitet i UP hovedsagelig og direkte skyldtes det ekstraordinære engangsfald i priserne på papirmasse.
On the other hand, it had been established that the improved profitability of the Union industry in the IP was caused primarily and directly by the exceptional one-off drop in pulp prices.
Ovenstående analyse har vist, at der i den betragtede periode var en kraftig stigning i mængder og markedsandele for den subsidierede import fra Kina til lave priser.
The above analysis demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the low-priced subsidised imports originating in the PRC over the period considered.
Desuden blev det konstateret, at denne import skete til subsidierede priser, der lå betydeligt under de priser, som EU-erhvervsgrenen krævede for tilsvarende varetyper på EU-markedet.
In addition, it was found that these imports were made at subsidised prices which were below the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market for similar product types.
Denne stigning i mængde og markedsandel for den subsidierede import fra Kina til lave priser var sammenfaldende med et generelt fald i efterspørgslen i Unionen i perioden mellem 2006 og UP, men også sammenfaldende med den negative udvikling i EU-producenternes markedsandel i samme periode.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced subsidised imports from the PRC coincided with an overall decrease of the demand on the Union market during the period between 2006 and the IP and also with the negative development in the market share of the Union producers during the same period.
Samtidig kunne der iagttages en negativ udvikling i de vigtigste indikatorer for EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske og finansielle situation som beskrevet i betragtning 423.
At the same time a negative development in the main indicators of the economic and financial situation of the Union industry was observed as outlined in recital (423).
Undersøgelsen af andre kendte faktorer, som kunne have forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen skade, afslørede, at disse faktorer ikke synes at være af en sådan art, at de bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem den subsidierede import fra Kina og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry revealed that these factors are not such as to break the causal link established between the subsidised imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående analyse, hvor der blev behørigt skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af den subsidierede import, bør det konkluderes, at den subsidierede import fra Kina 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 on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the subsidised imports, it should be concluded that the subsidised imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 31 blev det undersøgt, om der til trods for ovenstående konklusioner var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke var i Unionens interesse at indføre udligningsforanstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether, despite the above findings, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt countervailing measures in this particular case.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 31, stk. 1, vurderede Kommissionen derfor med udgangspunkt i de foreliggende oplysninger virkningerne af eventuelle foranstaltninger for EU-producenter, importører, forhandlere og distributører samt brugere af den pågældende vare samt følgerne af ikke at træffe foranstaltninger.
For this purpose, and in accordance with Article 31(1) of the basic Regulation, the likely impact of possible measures on the Union producers, importers, merchants and distributors and users of the product concerned and also the likely consequences of not taking measures were considered on the basis of all evidence submitted.
EU-erhvervsgrenen består af 14 kendte producenter, der skønnes at tegne sig for omkring 98 % af EU-produktionen af coated finpapir i følge CEPIFINE.
The Union industry as a whole is composed of 14 known producers estimated to represent around 98 % of the Union CFP production according to CEPIFINE.
To af de kendte producenter protesterede mod indledningen af undersøgelsen, men fremkom ikke med yderligere oplysninger og samarbejdede ikke i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Two of the known producers opposed the initiation of the investigation but provided no further information and did not cooperate with the investigation.
Ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger og navnlig på grundlag af oplysningerne fra CEPIFINE, som viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenens situation blev forværret, kan man imidlertid med rimelighed antage, at disse to virksomheder også blev påvirket negativt af den subsidierede import.
On the basis of the information available, however, and in particular on the basis of the data made available by CEPIFINE which showed a deterioration of the situation of the Union industry, it can be reasonably assumed that these two companies were also negatively affected by the subsidised imports.
EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade som følge af den subsidierede import fra Kina.
The Union industry has suffered material injury caused by the subsidised imports from the PRC.
Især skadesindikatorer vedrørende de fire repræsentative EU-producenters økonomiske resultater som f.eks. rentabilitet og investeringsafkast blev påvirket negativt trods en lille forbedring i UP.
In particular injury indicators related to the financial performance of the four representative Union producers, such as profitability and return on investments, despite a slight improvement in the IP, were seriously affected.
Uden foranstaltninger forekommer en yderligere forringelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation meget sandsynlig.
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration in the Union industry's economic situation appears very likely.
Det forventes, at indførelsen af en udligningstold vil genoprette effektive og rimelige handelsvilkår på EU-markedet og sætte EU-erhvervsgrenen i stand til at tilpasse priserne på coated finpapir, så de afspejler omkostningerne i forbindelse med de forskellige komponenter.
It is expected that the imposition of countervailing duties will restore effective and fair trade conditions on the Union market, allowing the Union industry to align the prices of CFP to reflect the costs of the various components.
Det kan forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil betyde, at EU-erhvervsgrenen kan genvinde i det mindste en del af den markedsandel, der blev tabt i den betragtede periode, med yderligere positive virkninger for den økonomiske situation og rentabilitet.
It can be expected that the imposition of measures would enable the Union industry to regain at least part of the market share lost during the period considered, with a further positive impact on its economic situation and profitability.
Det blev derfor konkluderet, at indførelsen af endelige udligningsforanstaltninger over for importen af coated finpapir med oprindelse i Kina vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse.
It was therefore concluded that the imposition of definitive countervailing measures on imports of CFP originating in the PRC would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Der blev udsendt spørgeskemaer til de 14 kendte ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører og forhandlere i Unionen, der blev nævnt i klagen.
Questionnaires were sent to fourteen known unrelated importers and traders in the Union that were listed in the complaint.
I løbet af undersøgelsen gav flere andre forhandlere (også kaldet »handlende« hos erhvervsgrenen) sig til kende.
During the investigation several other traders (called also ‘merchants’ in the industry) made themselves known.
I sidste ende samarbejdede 13 virksomheder i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, selv om nogle af disse respondenter kun fremlagde delvise oplysninger.
Finally thirteen companies cooperated in the investigation, even though some of these respondents provided only partial information.
Man konstaterede, at importørerne også optrådte som forhandlere på markedet, så derfor vil alle disse parter i det følgende blive betegnet »forhandlerne«.
Importers were found to be acting also as traders on the market therefore all these parties will hereinafter be referred to as ‘traders’.
Undersøgelsen viste, at alle forhandlere købte coated finpapir fra flere kilder og hovedsagelig fra EU-producenter.
The investigation showed that all traders purchased CFP from several sources and mainly from Union producers.
To forhandlere købte aldrig eller kun lejlighedsvis importeret coated finpapir fra Kina.
Two traders did not purchase or only occasionally purchased the imported CFP from the PRC.
De ti virksomheder, der fremlagde kvantitative oplysninger om deres køb af den pågældende vare, repræsenterede i alt 47 % af den samlede import fra Kina.
The ten companies that provided quantitative information about their purchases of the product concerned represented in total 47 % of the total imports from the PRC.
Alle handlende erklærede, at coated finpapir fremstillet i Unionen og Kina havde stort set samme kvalitet og var indbyrdes udskifteligt.
All traders stated that CFP produced in the Union and the PRC were largely of a similar quality and were interchangeable.
To importerende forhandlere købte overvejende coated finpapir fra kinesiske kilder.
Two importing traders were relying mainly on Chinese sources for their purchases of CFP.
Begge virksomheder gav udtryk for, at de ville have svært ved at købe varer fra EU-producenter, fordi der ville være traditionelle salgskanaler, eftersom producenterne ville kræve minimumsordrestørrelser, og distributionsaftaler, der skal overholdes.
Both companies stated that they would have difficulties in sourcing products from Union producers because there would be traditional sales channels due to minimum order volumes required by producers and distribution agreements to be respected.
Med hensyn til muligheden for at vælte eventuelle prisstigninger over på kunderne henviste alle de samarbejdsvillige forhandlere til den kraftige prisgennemsigtighed på EU-markedet og erklærede, at de kun ville kunne hæve deres salgspriser over for slutkunderne, hvis det generelle prisniveau i Unionen blev højere.
Concerning the possibility to pass on possible cost increases to their customers, all cooperating traders referred to the strong price transparency on the Union market and stated that they would only be able to increase their sales prices to the final customers in case the price level in the Union, in general, would increase.
På dette grundlag og eftersom hensigten med udligningstold bl.a. er at hæve prisniveauet i Unionen til et niveau, hvor omkostningerne dækkes ind, forventes det, at importørerne i det mindste delvis vil kunne vælte eventuelle prisstigninger som følge af udligningstolden over på deres kunder.
On this basis, and given that the intended effect of countervailing duties is, inter alia, to increase the price level in the Union to cost-covering levels, it is expected that importers would therefore be able to pass any price increases caused by the countervailing duty at least partly on to their customers.
Det skal også bemærkes, at man som nævnt ovenfor konstaterede, at den kinesiske import kun udgør en meget lille andel af forhandlernes samlede forretninger, og at virkningen af udligningstolden overordnet set vil være ubetydelig.
It should also be noted that as mentioned above, it was found that Chinese imports constitute only a very small part of the overall business of traders and that therefore, the effect of the countervailing duty, in general would be negligible.
Endelig konstateres det også, at importørerne opnår en højere rentabilitet på videresalg af coated finpapir fra producenterne i Kina, og at de derfor vil kunne tjene mindre ved at påtage sig i det mindste en del af prisstigningen.
Finally it is also considered that importers achieve a higher profitability on their re-sales of CFP sourced from the producers in the PRC; therefore they would also be able to make less profit by absorbing at least a partial cost increase.
Indførelsen af endelige foranstaltninger burde ikke få en negativ indvirkning generelt på importørerne og forhandlerne.
Therefore, the imposition of definitive measures should overall not have a significant negative impact on the importers and traders.
BRUGERNE
USERS
Der blev udsendt spørgeskemaer til otte kendte brugere i Unionen, som fremgik af klagen.
Questionnaires were sent to eight known users in the Union that were listed in the complaint.
I alt 5 virksomheder besvarede spørgeskemaet helt eller delvis.
Altogether five companies provided a full or partial questionnaire reply.
Disse virksomheder er beliggende i hele Unionen og repræsenterer trykkeri- og forlagsbrancherne.
These companies are located throughout the Union and represent the printing and publishing sectors.
TRYKKERIER
PRINTERS
Kun et trykkeri fremlagde basisoplysninger.
Only one printer provided basic information.
Ifølge trykkeriets oplysninger var andelen af coated finpapir i forhold til de samlede produktionsomkostninger til trykt materiale forholdsvis høj.
According to the information submitted by this printer, the share of the CFP in relation to the total cost of production of a printed material was relatively high.
Undersøgelsen har vist, at trykkerierne hovedsagelig køber coated finpapir fra EU-producenter, og det blev bekræftet, at coated finpapir produceret i Unionen og Kina er af lignende kvalitet, og at der er udtalt priskonkurrence mellem forhandlerne.
While the investigation has shown that printers are mainly sourcing CFP from Union producers, it was confirmed that CFP produced in the Union and the PRC are of similar quality and that there is a strong price competition between traders.
Det blev fremført, at enhver prisforhøjelse ville have betydelige negative følger for rentabiliteten.
It was stated that any price increase would have a significant negative effect on the profitability.
Det blev påstået, at trykkerierne allerede er under pres på grund af strukturel overkapacitet, og at enhver forhøjelse af indkøbspriserne på coated finpapir ville lægge yderligere pres på disse trykkerier.
It was claimed that the printing industry is already under pressure due to structural overcapacity and any increase in purchase prices of CFP would put further pressure on the printers.
I denne forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at i lyset af de begrænsede mængder af kinesisk coated finpapir, som trykkerierne anvender (idet de stadig overvejende køber coated finpapir hos EU-producenter), blev de direkte virkninger af en eventuel told anset for ubetydelige.
In this regard, it is noted that given the small quantities of Chinese CFP used by printers (who still source the majority of the CFP needed from Union producers) the direct impact of any duty was considered negligible.
FORLAG
PUBLISHERS
Fra forlagssektoren indkom der fire spørgeskemabesvarelser fra virksomhederne.
Regarding the publishing sector, four questionnaire replies were received from companies.
Kun en virksomhed havde et mindre indkøb af kinesisk coated finpapir i UP.
Only one company had a minor purchase of Chinese-origin CFP in the IP.
To andre virksomheder fremlagde kvantitative oplysninger om deres brug af coated finpapir.
Two of the companies provided quantitative data concerning their use of CFP.
Desuden blev det konstateret, at de seks virksomheder hovedsagelig indkøbte coated finpapir hos EU-producenterne, mens kun en af dem benyttede coated finpapir importeret fra Kina.
Furthermore, it was found that the six companies purchased CFP mainly from the Union producers, while only one of them used CFP imported from the PRC.
En anden virksomhed begyndte først at købe kinesiske varer efter UP.
Another one started to buy Chinese products only after the IP.
Derfor og navnlig i lyset af de begrænsede mængder af coated finpapir med oprindelse i Kina, der anvendes i denne sektor, vil indførelsen af udligningsforanstaltninger over for import fra Kina efter al sandsynlighed ikke få nogen større indvirkning på forlagssektoren i almindelighed.
Therefore, and in particular on the basis of the low volumes of Chinese-origin CFP used in this sector, the imposition of countervailing measures on imports from the PRC is unlikely to seriously affect the publishing sector overall.
Man konstaterede desuden, at disse virksomheder er rentable og har bedre mulighed for at vælte prisstigninger over på deres kunder på grund af brugen af kundebestemt og kundeudvalgt papir, hvor det er mere almindeligt at bruge papir til fremstillingen, som kunden selv køber.
In addition, these companies were found to be profitable and could pass on price increases to the final customer more easily because the use of customer-directed and customer-nominated paper whereby the paper used in the production is purchased by the customer itself is more common.
To sammenslutninger i trykkeri- og forlagsbrancherne indsendte bemærkninger.
Two associations of the printing and publishing industry provided submissions.
En modsatte sig indførelsen af told og påstod, at enhver prisstigning ville føre til højere udgifter og dermed til forringet konkurrenceevne og tab af arbejdspladser hos leverandører.
One opposed the imposition of duties, claiming that any price increases would lead to higher costs and consequently to loss of competitiveness and jobs in downstream industries.
Den anden forholdt sig neutral, men påstod, at foranstaltningerne kunne få negative virkninger for leverandørerne, da prisstigninger kunne føre til udflytning af trykkerivirksomheder og dermed øget import af tryksager hos leverandørerne.
The other remained neutral but claimed that the measures could have negative effects on the downstream industries as price increases could lead to the relocation of the printing industry leading to increased imports of downstream printed matter.
Efter fremlæggelsen af de endelige resultater blev samme påstand om mulige negative virkninger for leverandørerne gentaget og støttet af, at importen af tryksager fra Kina var steget markant i de senere år og tilsyneladende tog en betydelig markedsandel af EU-forbruget af alle tryksager.
After disclosure, the same claim about possible effects on the downstream industry was repeated and supported by the fact that imports of printed matter from China increased rapidly in recent years and apparently took a considerable market share within European consumption for all printed matter.
Som det fremgår ovenfor, samarbejdede trykkerierne kun i begrænset omfang, og ud fra de begrænsede oplysninger, der blev indsendt, konstateredes det, at trykkerierne som følge af deres rentabilitetsniveau og andelen af coated finpapir i deres omkostninger i høj grad er følsomme over for prisstigninger.
As explained above, the cooperation of printers was limited and on the basis of the limited quantitative information received it was found that because of their profitability level and the share of CFP in their costs, printers are indeed sensitive to price increases.
De fleste trykkerier købte dog ikke eller kun meget lidt kinesisk papir i UP, og trykkerierne anvender generelt meget lidt kinesisk papir, hvorfor tolden vil få ubetydelig direkte virkning for dem.
However, most printers had no or very limited direct purchases of Chinese paper in the IP and the amount of Chinese paper used by printers is in general low therefore the direct impact of the duty would be negligible.
De fleste trykkerier påstod desuden, at andelen af indkøb direkte fra tredjelande fortsat ville være lav på grund af deres behov for korte leveringsfrister.
Most printers also stated that because of their need for short delivery times, the share of supplies directly from third countries would remain limited.
Hvad angår påstandene vedrørende tryksager fra leverandører i Kina, skal det bemærkes, at importstatistikker for tryksager omfatter en lang række varer bl.a. tryksager, der ikke trykkes på coated finpapir.
As regards the claims concerning downstream printed matter from China it should be noted that the import statistics of printed matter cover a wide range of products that include final printed matter that is not printed on coated fine paper.
Ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger kunne det ikke konstateres, hvilken del af de varer, der importeres fra Kina, der trykkes på den pågældende vare, og hvilken del, der trykkes på andet papir.
Based on the information available it could not be assessed what part of the products imported from China is printed on the product concerned and what is printed on other types of paper.
Det fremgår dog af de fremlagte oplysninger, at tryksager med oprindelse i Kina hovedsagelig består af visse kategorier af bøger, børnebøger, kalendere, emballage og lykønskningskort.
However, from information submitted it is known that printed matter originating is China is mostly comprised of some specific categories of books, children books, calendars, packaging and greeting cards.
Varer, der er mere »tidsfølsomme« såsom ugeblade/månedsblade og andre former for nyhedsblade, importeres i mindre grad fra Kina på grund af transporttiden.
Products that are more ‘time sensitive’ such as weekly/monthly magazines and other newsprint are less susceptible to be imported from China because of the time needed for transportation.
Selv om papir derudover er et vigtigt omkostningselement for trykkerierne, er det desuden en arbejdskraftintensiv industri, og arbejdskraftomkostningerne kan derfor være en endnu vigtigere faktor for udflytning.
Furthermore, even though paper is an important cost element for the printing industry, it is also a labour-intensive industry and thus labour costs may be a more significant driver in relocation trends.
Kort sagt kan det ikke udelukkes, at importen af tryksager på coated finpapir vil stige, men det er ikke muligt at vurdere stigningen nøjagtigt eller vurdere, i hvilken grad dette kan spille ind på trykkeriproducenternes konkurrenceevne, og således hvilken direkte virkning, den måtte få for EU-trykkeriernes leverandører.
In summary, it cannot be excluded that imports of printed products that are printed on CFP will increase but it is not possible to estimate with any accuracy what the level of increase might be and how far this would play a role in the competitiveness of printing producers and therefore and therefore what direct impact price increases might have on the downstream Union printing industry.
Det fremgår endvidere af de fremlagte oplysninger, at trykkerierne lider under strukturel overkapacitet, der fører til en vedvarende omstrukturering af sektoren.
From information submitted, it is also known that the printing industry suffers from structural overcapacity that leads to the continuing restructuring of the sector.
En af drivkræfterne for omstrukturering var også et behov for konsolidering af papirproducenterne i værdikæden.
One of the driving forces towards the restructuring was also the consolidation of the paper manufacturers within the value chain.
Det konstateres, at trykkeriernes eventuelle vanskeligheder i forbindelse med prisstigninger overvejende skyldes industriens egen strukturelle overkapacitet.
Any difficulty of the printing industry to increase prices is considered to be rather largely due to this structural overcapacity within the printing industry itself.
