Der blev desuden rejst alvorlig tvivl om, hvorvidt berettigelsen til at etablere virksomhed i et frihandelsområde kunne begrænses til visse typer erhverv.
Serious doubts were also raised as to whether eligibility to being established in the FTZs could be restricted on the basis of certain type of business activity.
Ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger fremgår det nemlig, at visse frihandelsområder i De Forenede Arabiske Emirater udelukkende er åbne for visse typer erhverv (dvs. Dudai Auto Free Zone, International Media Production Free Zone, Dubai Flower Centre Free Zone etc.).
Indeed, on the basis of information provided it appears that certain FTZs in the UAE are exclusively dedicated to specific types of business activities (e.g. Dudai Auto Free Zone, International Media Production Free Zone, Dubai Flower Centre Free Zone, etc.).
Den eneste samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent havde fordel af toldfri import af kapitalgoder.
The sole cooperating exporting producer benefited from a duty-free import of capital goods.
Ud fra ovenstående må ordningen betragtes som et subsidie i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. ii) og artikel 3, stk. 2, da der ydes et finansielt bidrag, idet der gives afkald på offentlige indtægter, der ellers ville være indgået, hvilket har medført en fordel for modtagervirksomheden.
Account taken of the above, the scheme has to be considered to be a subsidy within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(ii) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation because it provides a financial contribution in the form of government revenue forgone and confers a benefit upon the recipient company.
Ordningen er desuden specifik i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 2, litra a), da disse fordele kun er tilgængelige for virksomheder i frihandelsområder, dvs., at adgangen til subsidiet er begrænset til virksomheder i visse områder, der opererer under ordningen for frihandelsområder i De Forenede Arabiske Emirater.
Moreover, the scheme is specific in the meaning of the Article 4(2)(a) of the basic Regulation, since these benefits are only available to companies in FTZs i.e. therefore access to the subsidy is limited to companies in certain locations operating under the FTZ regime.
Undersøgelsen fastslog desuden, at frihandelsområder oprettes efter skøn og ikke følger neutrale eller objektive kriterier, jf. grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 2, litra b).
Furthermore, the investigation has established that the granting of FTZ status in the UAE is discretionary and does not follow and neutral or objective criteria, as provided for in Article 4(2)(b).
I mangel af federal lovgivning vedrørende etablering og forvaltning af frihandelsområder i De Forenede Arabiske Emirater giver de subsidieydende myndigheder i hvert af de syv emirater, der udgør De Forenede Arabiske Emirater, adgang til frihandelsområder efter deres egne regler.
Given the lack of any federal legislation regulating the establishment and management of the FTZs in the UAE, every granting authority of the seven Emirates forming the UAE provides access to the FTZs according to its own rules.
Da der ikke findes lovgivning eller retningslinjer i emiratet Ras Al Khaimah, træffer den relevante myndighed beslutninger efter skøn om, hvilke virksomheder der kan få adgang til frihandelsområdet.
Since no legislation or guidelines are available in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah, the relevant authority decides on a discretionary basis which company can be entitled to enter the FTZ.
Da virksomheden var etableret i frihandelsområdet fra starten og indtil maj 2008, men produktionsprocessen for PET først startede i september 2007 og virksomheden siden januar 2008 producerede på en midlertidig erhvervslicens i henhold til Federal Law nr. 1 af 1979, må det subsidie, der blev gjort brug af i UP, betragtes udelukkende som den toldfri import af kapitalgoder.
Considering that the company was established in the FTZ from its establishment up to May 2008 but the production process of PET started in September 2007 and the company was operating since January 2008 its production under a preliminary industrial license of Federal Law No. 1 of 1979, the subsidy availed during the IP has to be considered as being only the duty-free imports of capital goods.
Subsidiebeløbet blev i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 7, stk. 3, beregnet på grundlag af den ikke betalte told på importerede kapitalgoder, fordelt over en periode på 15 år, der afspejler den normale minimumsafskrivningsperiode for de tre lande, der er involveret i denne undersøgelse, i den pågældende erhvervsgren.
In accordance with Article 7(3) of the basic Regulation, the subsidy amount was calculated on the basis of the unpaid customs duty on imported capital goods spread across a period of 15 years which reflects the minimum depreciation period that has been found in all the three countries involved in the current investigation in relation to the industry concerned.
Markedsrenten i UP i De Forenede Arabiske Emirater blev anset for passende i den forbindelse.
The commercial interest rate during the IP in the UAE was considered appropriate for this purpose.
Dette subsidiebeløb (tæller) er i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 7, stk. 2 og 3, blevet fordelt over den samlede omsætning i undersøgelsesperioden, da tildelingen af fordelen ikke er betinget af eksportresultater
In accordance with Articles 7(2) and 7(3) of the basic Regulation, this subsidy amount (as nominator) has been allocated over the total sales turnover during the IP since the attribution of the benefit is not contingent on export performance.
Den fastslåede subsidiesats for den eksporterende producent under denne ordning i løbet af UP beløber sig til 0,11 %.
The subsidy rate established in respect of this scheme during the IP for the exporting producer amounts to 0,11 %.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningen er det foreløbige udligningsberettigede subsidiebeløb for den eneste samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent i De Forenede Arabiske Emirater 5,13 %, udtrykt i værdi.
The provisional amount of countervailable subsidies in accordance with the provisions of the basic Regulation, expressed ad valorem, for the sole cooperating United Arab Emirates exporting producer is 5,13 %.
EU-produktion og EU-erhvervsgren
Union production and Union industry
I UP blev den samme vare produceret af 17 producenter i EU.
During the IP, the like product was manufactured by 17 producers in the Union.
Disse EU-producenters produktion anses således for at udgøre Unionens samlede produktion i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 9, stk. 1.
The output of these producers is therefore deemed to constitute the Union production within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation.
Ud af disse 17 producenter samarbejdede 12 producenter i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Of these 17 producers, 12 producers cooperated with the investigation.
Det konstateredes, at disse 12 producenter tegnede sig for en stor del af EU-produktionen — i dette tilfælde mere end 80 % — af samme vare.
These 12 producers were found to account for a major proportion, in this case more than 80 %, of the total Union production of the like product.
De 12 samarbejdsvillige producenter anses derfor for at udgøre erhvervsgrenen i Unionen og vil i det følgende omtales som »EU-erhvervsgrenen«, jf. grundforordningens artikel 9, stk. 1, og artikel 10, stk. 6.
The 12 cooperating producers therefore constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Article 9(1) and Article 10(6) of the basic Regulation and will be hereafter referred to as the ‘Union industry’.
De resterende EU-producenter vil herefter blive omtalt som »de andre EU-producenter«.
The remaining Union producers will be hereafter referred to as the ‘other Union producers’.
Disse andre EU-producenter har ikke aktivt støttet eller modsat sig klagen.
These other Union producers have not actively supported or opposed the complaint.
Det skal bemærkes, at EU-markedet for PET er kendetegnet ved et forholdsvis stort antal producenter, der generelt tilhører større grupper med hovedsæde uden for EU.
It is noted that the EU market for PET is characterised by a relatively high number of producers, belonging usually to bigger groups with headquarters outside the EU.
Der foregår på markedet en konsolidering, der indebærer en række nylige virksomhedsovertagelser og –lukninger.
The market is in a process of consolidation with a number of recent takeovers and closures.
Eksempelvis er PET-produktionsanlæggene i Tergal Fibers (Frankrig), Invista (Tyskland) og Artenius (Det Forenede Kongerige) blevet lukket, mens Indorama overtog de tidligere Eastman-fabrikker i Det Forenede Kongerige og Nederlandene.
For instance, since 2009, PET production plants of Tergal Fibers (France), Invista (Germany) and Artenius (UK) closed while Indorama took over the former Eastman plants in UK and the Netherlands.
Som det fremgår af betragtning 8, blev der udtaget en stikprøve af fem individuelle producenter, som tegnede sig for 65 % af alle samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters salg.
As indicated above at recital (8), a sample of five individual producers was selected, representing 65 % of the sales by all cooperating Union producers.
En virksomhed var ikke i stand til at fremlægge de ønskede oplysninger, og stikprøven blev derfor reduceret til fire virksomheder, der tegnede sig for 47 % af alle samarbejdsvillige producenters salg.
One company was not in a position to provide all data as requested and the sample consequently had to be reduced to four companies representing 47 % of the sales by all cooperating producers.
EU-forbruget blev beregnet ud fra EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde på EU-markedet, Eurostatoplysninger om importmængden til EU-markedet og for de andre EU-producenters vedkommende på basis af skøn ud fra klagen.
Union consumption was established on the basis of the sales volumes of the Union industry on the Union market, the import volumes data for the EU market obtained from EUROSTAT and, concerning the other Union producers, from estimations based on the complaint.
EU-forbruget af den pågældende vare steg i perioden mellem 2006 og UP med 11 %.
Union consumption of the product under investigation increased between 2006 and the IP by 11 %.
Den tilsyneladende efterspørgsel steg nærmere beskrevet i 2007 med 8 %, faldt let mellem 2007 og 2008 (2 procentpoint) og steg derefter med yderligere 5 procentpoint mellem 2008 og UP.
In detail, the apparent demand grew in 2007 by 8 %, decreased slightly between 2007 and 2008 (by 2 percentage points) and increased by further 5 percentage points between 2008 and the IP.

Kommissionen undersøgte, om importen af PET med oprindelse i Iran, Pakistan og De Forenede Arabiske Emirater skulle vurderes kumulativt i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 3.
The Commission examined whether imports of PET from Iran, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates should be assessed cumulatively in accordance with Article 8(3) of the basic Regulation.
Hvad angår virkningerne af importen fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater, Iran og Pakistan, viste undersøgelsen, at subsidiemargenerne lå over bagatelgrænsen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 14, stk. 5, og at mængden af subsidieret import fra disse lande ikke var ubetydelig, jf. grundforordningens artikel 10, stk. 9.
With regard to the effects of the imports originating in the UAE, Iran and Pakistan, the investigation showed that the subsidy margins were above the de minimis threshold as defined in Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation and the volume of subsidised imports from these countries was not negligible in the sense of Article 10(9) of the basic Regulation.
Hvad angår konkurrencevilkårene mellem importen fra Iran, Pakistan og De Forenede Arabiske Emirater og den samme vare, viste undersøgelsen, at producenterne fra disse lande anvender de samme salgskanaler og sælger til lignende kundekategorier.
With regard to the conditions of competition between imports from Iran, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates and the like product, the investigation revealed that the producers from these countries use the same sales channels and sell to similar categories of customers.
Undersøgelsen viste desuden også, at importen fra de pågældende lande fulgte en stigende tendens i den betragtede periode.
Moreover, the investigation also revealed that the imports from all these countries had an increasing trend in the period considered.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen derfor foreløbigt, at alle kriterierne i grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 3, var opfyldt, og at importen fra Iran, Pakistan og De Forenede Arabiske Emirater burde undersøges kumulativt.
In view of the above, it is provisionally considered that all the criteria set out in Article 8(3) of the basic Regulation were met and that imports from Iran, Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates should be examined cumulatively.
Den pågældende imports omfang
Volume of the imports concerned
Mængden af subsidieret import af den pågældende vare til EU mere end femdobledes i perioden mellem 2006 og UP og udgjorde 304202 tons i UP.
The volume of subsidised imports of the product concerned into the EU rose by more than 5 times between 2006 and the IP and reached 304202 tonnes in the IP.
Importen fra de pågældende lande steg mere specifikt med 20 % mellem 2006 og 2007, før den steg med yderligere 270 procentpoint i 2008 i forhold til 2007 og igen med 154 procentpoint mellem 2008 og UP.
More specifically, imports from the countries concerned increased by 20 % between 2006 and 2007, before further increasing by 270 percentage points in 2008 compared to 2007, and again by 154 percentage points between 2008 and the IP.
Markedsandelen for den subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande var på 2,1 % i 2006 og voksede støt med 8 procentpoint i løbet af den betragtede periode.

I UP var markedsandelen for den subsidierede import fra de pågældende lande 10,2 %.
In the IP, the market share of subsidised imports from the countries concerned was 10,2 %.
Det skal bemærkes, at De Forenede Arabiske Emirater først trængte ind på markedet i 2007, men hurtigt opnåede en betydelig markedsandel.
It is noted that the UAE entered the market only as of 2007, but managed quickly to gain a substantial market share.
Den gennemsnitlige importpris faldt med 14 % i den betragtede periode, og faldet var mest markant mellem 2008 og UP.
The average import price decreased by 14 % in the period considered with the sharpest decline between 2008 and the IP.
Den gennemsnitlige pris faldt mere specifikt med 1 % i 2007 og lå tæt på samme niveau i 2008, før den faldt med yderligere 13 procentpoint i UP.
More specifically, the average price decreased by 1 % in 2007 and stayed close to that level in 2008, before dropping by further 13 percentage points in the IP.
Da priserne på og omkostningerne til den pågældende vare var udsat for store udsving i UP, blev salgspriserne og omkostningerne indsamlet på kvartalsbasis, og underbudsberegningerne blev foretaget på kvartalsbasis.
In consideration of the fact that the prices and costs of the product concerned were subject to considerable fluctuations in the IP, selling prices and costs were collected by quarters and undercutting and underselling calculations were conducted on a quarterly basis.
For at kunne undersøge prisunderbuddet blev EU-erhvervsgrenens vejede gennemsnitlige salgspriser for ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder på EU-markedet, justeret til ab fabrik, sammenlignet med de tilsvarende vejede gennemsnitspriser på import fra de pågældende lande ved salg til den første uafhængige kunde på EU-markedet, fastsat på cif-basis med en passende justering for omkostninger efter importen og forskelle i handelsled.
For the purpose of analysing price undercutting, the weighted average sales prices of the Union industry to unrelated customers on the Union market, adjusted to an ex-works level, were compared to the corresponding weighted average prices of the imports from the countries concerned to the first independent customer on the Union market, established on a CIF basis with appropriate adjustments for post-importation costs and differences in the level of trade.
Sammenligningen viste, at den subsidierede import fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater, som i UP blev solgt i EU, underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser med 3,9 %.
The comparison showed that during the IP, the subsidised imports originating in the UAE sold in the Union undercut the Union industry’s prices by 3,9 %.

The weighted average undercutting margin of the countries concerned during the IP is 3,2 %.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 8, stk. 4, omfattede undersøgelsen af den subsidierede imports virkninger for EU-erhvervsgrenen en vurdering af alle økonomiske faktorer og forhold, der kunne have indflydelse på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation i den betragtede periode.
Pursuant to Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation, examination of the impact of the subsidised imports on the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered.
I betragtning af det store antal EU-producenter måtte der, som nævnt ovenfor, anvendes stikprøver.
As explained above, considering the large number of Union producers, sampling had to be used.
De makroøkonomiske elementer (produktion, kapacitet, salgsmængde, markedsandel, vækst, beskæftigelse, produktivitet, gennemsnitlige enhedspriser, dumpingmargenernes størrelse og genrejsning efter virkningerne af tidligere dumping) blev analyseret for hele EU-produktionen på grundlag af de oplysninger, der blev indhentet fra de samarbejdsvillige producenter, og for andre EU-producenter på grundlag af et skøn baseret på oplysninger fra klagen.
The macroeconomic elements (production, capacity, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity, average unit prices and magnitude of dumping margins and recovery from the effects of past dumping) were assessed at the level of the whole Union production, on the basis of the information collected from the cooperating producers and for the other Union producers an estimation based on the data from the complaint was used.
Analysen af mikroøkonomiske elementer (lagre, lønninger, rentabilitet, investeringsafkast, likviditet, evnen til at rejse kapital og investeringer) blev gennemført for EU-producenterne i stikprøven på grundlag af deres oplysninger.
The analysis of microeconomic elements (stocks, wages, profitability, return on investments, cash flow, ability to raise capital and investments) was carried out for the sampled Union producers on the basis of their information.
EU-produktionen faldt med 4 % i perioden mellem 2006 og UP.
The Union production decreased by 4 % between 2006 and the IP.
Mere specifikt steg den med 5 % i 2007 til ca. 2570000 tons, men faldt markant med 10 procentpoint i 2008 sammenlignet med 2007 og steg svagt med 1 procentpoint mellem 2008 og UP, hvor den var på ca. 23000000 tons.
More specifically, it increased by 5 % in 2007 to around 2570000 tonnes, but sharply decreased by 10 percentage points in 2008 compared to 2007 and slightly increased by 1 percentage point between 2008 and the IP, when it reached around 2300000 tonnes.

Specifically, it increased by 1 % in 2007, by further 5 percentage points in 2008 and by even further 9 percentage points in the IP.
Kapacitetsudnyttelsen var på 83 % i 2006, steg til 87 % i 2007, men faldt efterfølgende til 75 % i 2008 og til kun 69 % i UP.
Capacity utilisation was 83 % in 2006, increased to 87 % in 2007 but later dropped to 75 % in 2008 and to only 69 % in the IP.
Den faldende kapacitetsudnyttelse i 2008 og UP afspejler den faldende produktion og den stigende produktionskapacitet i denne periode.
The dropping utilisation rate in 2008 and the IP reflects decreased production and increased production capacity in this period.
EU-producenternes salgsmængde til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder på EU-markedet faldt let i den betragtede periode.
The sales volume of the Union producers to unrelated customers on the EU market modestly decreased in the period considered.
Salget steg med 5 % i 2007, men faldt i det efterfølgende år til lige under 2006-niveauet, og i UP var salget 3 % lavere end i 2006, nemlig ca. 2100000 tons.
The sales increased by 5 % in 2007, but in the following year decreased slightly below the 2006 level, and in the IP they were 3 % lower that in 2006, at around 2100000 tonnes.
Da lagerbeholdningerne var begrænsede, afspejler udviklingen i salget udviklingen i produktionen.
Given the limited volume of stocks, the development of sales closely reflects the development in the production.

I den betragtede periode mistede EU-producenterne 10 procentpoint af deres markedsandel, som faldt fra 85 % i 2006 til 75 % i UP.
During the period considered, the Union producers lost 10 percentage points of market share, which decreased from 85 % in 2006 to 75 % in the IP.
Dette tab af markedsandele viser, at EU-erhvervsgrenens salg faldt med 3 % i den betragtede periode til trods for en stigning i forbruget.
This loss of market share reflects the fact that, despite an increase in consumption, the Union industry’s sales dropped by 3 % in the period considered.
Det skal bemærkes, at den faldende tendens også gjaldt for EU-producenterne i stikprøven.
It is noted that this decreasing trend was also found for the sampled Union producers.
