Hvad angår Pakistan, konkluderes det, at importen ikke i noget væsentligt omfang bidrog til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen led, da underbuddet var meget begrænset.
As concerns Pakistan, since the undercutting is very low, it is considered that its imports did not contribute to the injury of the Union industry to any material extent.
Importen fra Republikken Korea kan have bidraget til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen led, men på grund af den beskedne prisforskel mellem priserne på denne import og EU-producenternes priser anses det, at denne import ikke har brudt årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater og Iran 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 dumped imports from the UAE and Iran.
På baggrund af den faldende markedsandel og det høje prisniveau foreligger der ikke bevis for, at importen fra andre tredjelande har bidraget til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
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 — dvs. EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater, konkurrence fra de øvrige EU-producenter, den økonomiske afmatning, den geografiske placering og fraværet af vertikal integration — bidraget til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, i et omfang, som bryder 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 er gjort behørigt rede for alle kendte faktorers konsekvenser for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation set i forhold til dumpingimportens skadevoldende virkninger, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at importen fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater og Iran har forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
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 dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from the UAE and Iran have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Kommissionen undersøgte i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21, om der til trods for konklusionerne om dumping, skade og årsagssammenhæng er tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke er i Unionens interesse at indføre foranstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusions on dumping, 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 21, stk. 1, undersøgte Kommissionen den sandsynlige virkning af eventuelle foranstaltninger for de berørte parter såvel som de sandsynlige konsekvenser af ikke at træffe foranstaltninger.
For this purpose and pursuant to Article 21(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 råmaterialer, brugere og deres sammenslutninger.
The Commission sent questionnaires to independent importers, suppliers of raw materials, users and their associations.
I alt blev der udsendt mere end 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 senere i proceduren og fremsendte skrivelser, hvori de giver udtryk for deres modstand mod 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.
EU-erhvervsgrenens og andre EU-producenters interesser
Interest of the Union industry and other Union producers
Det forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for importen fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater og Iran vil forhindre yderligere markedsfordrejninger og pristryk og genskabe redelige konkurrencevilkår.
It is expected that the imposition of measures on imports from the UAE and Iran would prevent further distortions of the market, suppression of prices and restore fair competition.
Dette vil til gengæld give EU-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at forbedre sin situation gennem 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 lavprisimporten fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater og Iran fortsat vil stige og underbyde EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
In the absence of measures, it is expected that imports from the UAE and Iran would continue to increase at low prices undercutting the prices of the Union industry.
EU-erhvervsgrenen vil i så fald ikke have mulighed for at forbedre sin situation.
In this case, the Union industry would not have the opportunity to improve its situation.
På baggrund af EU-erhvervsgrenens vanskelige økonomiske situation vil der kunne forventes flere lukninger og dermed en nedgang i beskæftigelsen.
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 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 hævdede, at indførelse af foranstaltninger ikke ville hjælpe EU-erhvervsgrenen, da det kun ville føre til nye investeringer i andre eksportlande.
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.
Dette argument kan ikke accepteres, da dette i yderste logiske konsekvens ville betyde, at der ikke kan indføres antidumpingforanstaltninger over for varer, hvis investeringerne i de pågældende varer kan flyttes til andre lande.
This argument can not be accepted as it would mean, when pushed to its logical consequence, that anti-dumping measures can never be imposed on products for which investments can be shifted to other countries.
Det ville også betyde, at der ikke indføres beskyttelsesforanstaltninger som en reaktion på illoyal handelspraksis, fordi der kan komme 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 hævdede, at eventuelle foranstaltninger ikke kan afhjælpe de strukturelle konkurrencemæssige ulemper, som præger EU's PET-fremstillingsindustri set i forhold til PET-fremstillingsindustrien 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.
Der blev imidlertid ikke fremlagt tilstrækkelig dokumentation for denne påstand.
This argument, however, was not sufficiently substantiated.
Det skal bemærkes, at en række EU-producenter i stikprøven, som er vertikalt integrerede, også er i en vanskelig finansiel situation.
It is noted that some sampled Union producers which are vertically integrated are also in a difficult financial situation.
Selv om der eventuelt var tale om konkurrencemæssige fordele (f.eks. billigere adgang til råmaterialer), blev det desuden stadig konstateret, at de eksporterende producenter foretog dumping.
In addition, even if there were possible competitive advantages (for example through cheaper access to raw materials), exporting producers were still found to dump.
Den foreløbige konklusion er, at det helt klart vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse, at der indføres antidumpingforanstaltninger.
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would clearly be in the interest of the Union industry.
Ikke-forbundne EU-importørers interesser
Interest of unrelated importers in the Union
Som anført ovenfor blev der udtaget stikprøver blandt de ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører, og af de to virksomheder i stikprøven har kun en importerende agent (Global Services International, »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 har anført, udgør en væsentlig andel 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 import af PET tegner sig for størstedelen af G.S.I.'s omsætning.
Commissions for the imports of PET represent the majority of the G.S.I. business.
Da agenten arbejder på provisionsbasis, forventes eventuel indførelse af told ikke at få betydelige virkninger for hans resultater, da en eventuel stigning i importprisen sandsynligvis vil blive overvæltet på hans 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 forelagde relevante oplysninger.
No other importer submitted relevant information.
Da importen fra andre lande, som for øjeblikket er pålagt antidumpingforanstaltninger, ikke stoppede, og der er adgang til import fra lande, som ikke er pålagt antidumpingforanstaltninger (f.eks. Oman, USA og Brasilien), konkluderes det, at importørerne kan importere fra disse lande.
Given that imports from other countries where there are currently anti-dumping measures in force did not stop and that imports are available from countries without any anti-dumping measures (e.g. Oman, USA, Brazil), it is considered that importers can import from these countries.
Den foreløbige konklusion er derfor, at det ikke vil have væsentlige negative virkninger for EU-importørernes interesser, hvis der indføres foreløbige foranstaltninger.
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.
EU-råvareleverandørernes interesser
Interest of the raw material suppliers in the Union
Tre råvareleverandører (to leverandører af PTA og en leverandør af MEG) 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 var involveret i produktionen af PTA/MEG.
The staff employed in their European facilities and involved in the production of PTA / MEG was around 700.
De samarbejdsvillige PTA-producenter tegner sig for ca. 50 % af det samlede salg af PTA til EU-producenterne i stikprøven.
The cooperating PTA producers represent around 50 % of the PTA purchases of the sampled Union producers.
PTA-producenterne er stærkt afhængige af PET-producenternes situation, da PET-producenterne er deres vigtigste kunder.
PTA producers are heavily dependant on the state of the PET producers that constitute their major clients.
Lave priser på PET betyder lavere priser på PTA og lavere fortjenstmargener for PTA-producenterne.
Low prices of PET translate into lower prices of PTA and lower margins for the PTA producers.
Det skal bemærkes, at en antidumping- og en antisubsidieundersøgelse vedrørende import af PTA med oprindelse i Thailand er i gang, hvilket betyder, at PTA-producenterne i EU måske også er udsat for urimelig konkurrence fra import fra Thailand.
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.
Følgelig konkluderes det, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for dumpingimporten af PET vil være til fordel for PTA-producenterne.
Consequently, it is considered that the imposition of measures on the dumped imports of PET would benefit the PTA producers.
MEG tegner sig for under 10 % af den samarbejdsvillige MEG-leverandørs samlede omsætning.
For the cooperating MEG supplier, MEG represents less than 10 % of its total turnover.
Det skal bemærkes, at PET ikke er den eneste eller vigtigste anvendelsesmulighed for MEG, og MEG-producenterne er mindre påvirkede af PET-industriens situation.
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 vanskelighederne i PET-industrien have en række begrænsede virkninger for MEG-leverandørerne, i det mindste på kort og 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.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderes det foreløbigt, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for dumpingimport fra De Forenede Arabiske Emirater og Iran vil være i råvareleverandørernes interesse.
Given the above, it is provisionally concluded that imposition of measures on the dumped imports from the UAE and Iran would be in the interest of raw material suppliers.
Den type PET, der er genstand for denne undersøgelse (dvs. med viskositetsindeks på 78 ml/g og derover, den såkaldte »flaskekvalitet«), anvendes mest 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 andre emballagetyper (til fødevarer i fast form eller rengøringsmidler) og 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 fremstilles i to faser: i) der fremstilles først en præform ved hjælp af indsprøjtning af PET i forme, og ii) senere opvarmes denne præform og blæses 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.
Flaskefremstillingen kan være en integreret proces (dvs. at samme virksomhed køber PET, fremstiller en præform og blæser den til en flaske) eller være begrænset til anden fase, hvor præformen blæses 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 forholdsvis let transporteres, fordi de er små og tætte, mens tomme flasker er ustabile og meget dyre at transportere på grund af deres størrelse.
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.
Aftapningsvirksomhederne (»tapperierne«) 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-branchen enten gennem integrerede flaskefremstillingsaktiviteter eller gennem 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 sondres 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 prise, 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).
Konverteringsvirksomheder
Converters
De vigtigste brugere af PET i flaskekvalitet er producenterne af præforme.
The producers of pre-forms are the main users of the bottle grade PET.
Fire konverteringsvirksomheder, der tegner sig for 16 % af EU-forbruget i UP, samarbejdede fuldt ud i forbindelse med undersøgelsen (dvs. at de fremsendte fuldstændige spørgeskemabesvarelser inden for fristerne).
Four converters, representing 16 % of the Union consumption in the IP, fully cooperated with the investigation (i.e. submitted full questionnaire replies within the time limits).
Som nævnt ovenfor gav et betragteligt antal konverteringsvirksomheder sig også til kende senere i proceduren og gav udtryk for deres modstand, men de forelagde ikke verificerbare oplysninger om deres forbrug.
As mentioned above, a significant number of converters also came forward later in the proceeding stating their opposition, but did not provide any verifiable data with regard to their consumption.
Den samarbejdsvillige importerende agent hævdede under en høring, at over 80 % af EU-brugerne er imod foranstaltningerne.
The cooperating import agent claimed during a hearing that over 80 % of the EU users are opposing the measures.
Der forelå dog ikke tilstrækkelig dokumentation for denne påstand, og den kunne ikke efterprøves.
This information was however not sufficiently substantiated and could not be verified.
En sammenslutning, som repræsenterer de europæiske plastikkonverteringsvirksomheder (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 nogen 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.
Virksomheder, som genanvender PET (og som også repræsenteres af EuPC), vil gå ind for foranstaltninger.
PET recycling companies (also represented by EuPC) would be in favour of measures.
I en senere fase af undersøgelsen ændrede sammenslutningen dog holdning og gav udtryk for, at den var imod 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 hævdede, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ville medføre omkostninger, der ligger ud over det sædvanlige, for plastikkonverteringsindustrien i EU, som hovedsagelig består af små og mellemstore virksomheder (SMV'er).
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 hævdede, at disse SMV'er ikke ville være i stand til at absorbere højere PET-priser, og de vil blive tvunget til enten at stoppe deres aktiviteter eller tilskyndet til at flytte 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 blev ikke forelagt dokumentation for disse påstande i denne fase.
These claims were not further substantiated at this stage.
De samarbejdsvillige konverteringsvirksomheder har i alt 1300 ansatte, mens de konverteringsvirksomheder, som gav sig til kende senere i proceduren, har anført, at de har yderligere 6000 ansatte.
The total staff employed by the cooperating converters amounted to 1300 people, while the declared staff employed by the converters that came forward later in the proceeding would amount to further 6000 people.
Den importerende agent og hans kunder anførte under høringen, at konverteringsvirksomhederne har ca. 20000 ansatte.
The import agent and his clients indicated during the hearing an employment level for converters of around 20000 people.
Disse oplysninger om beskæftigelsen er endnu ikke blevet efterprøvet.
The employment information remains to be verified.
Indtil videre har undersøgelsen vist, at de samarbejdsvillige konverteringsvirksomheder overordnet set lider tab i et vist omfang.
The investigation so far indicated that on average the cooperating converters are already making some losses.
Da størstedelen af konverteringsvirksomhederne er små og mellemstore lokale virksomheder, har de på kort og mellemlang sigt muligvis kun begrænsede muligheder for at overvælte eventuelle omkostningsstigninger på deres kunder, navnlig hvis disse (aftapningsvirksomhederne) er større aktører, som er i en meget bedre forhandlingsposition.
Given that the majority of converters are small and medium sized local companies, they may have in the short to medium term only limited possibilities to pass on any increase in their costs, in particular when their client (bottling companies) is a rather big player with a much better negotiating position.
Kontrakterne (som normalt forhandles en gang om året) vedrørende salg af præforme og/eller flasker omfatter dog ofte en mekanisme, som skal sikre, at der tages hensyn til udsvingene i PET-priserne.
However, the contracts (normally negotiated every year) for selling pre-forms and/or bottles often include a mechanism for reflecting the variation of PET prices.
Konverteringsvirksomhederne og den samarbejdsvillige importerende agent hævdede, at foranstaltninger vil medføre, at visse større producenter af præforme vil flytte deres standardiserede produktionslinjer til EU's nabolande.
Converters and the cooperating import agent argued that measures would result in some bigger pre-form makers moving their standardised production lines to the countries neighbouring EU.
