Førnævnte udviklinger havde en positiv virkning på segmenterne for renovering og vedligeholdelse (positiv indvirkning på produktion, salg og rentabilitet i efterfølgende produktionstrin, idet fortjenstmargenerne er højere i detailsegmentet).
The aforementioned developments had a positive effect on renovations and maintenance segments (positive implications for the production, sales and profitability of the down-stream industry as profit margins are higher in the retail segment).
Disse segmenter blev under alle omstændigheder mindre påvirket af den økonomiske afmatning.
In any case those segments were affected less by the economic downturn.
Følgende analyse viser, at den væsentlige skade, som påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, faktisk skyldtes dumpingimporten fra Kina, selv om den økonomiske krise kan have haft en indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
The following analysis demonstrates that, although the economic downturn might have impacted on the situation of the Union industry, the material injury suffered by the Union industry was indeed caused by the dumped imports from China.
Undersøgelsen viste for det første, at byggeindustrien er begyndt at genrejse sig efter virkningerne af den økonomiske krise i UP, mens indikatorerne for EU-erhvervsgrenen fortsat viser en nedadgående tendens.
Firstly, the investigation showed that the construction industry started to recover from the effects of the economic downturn in the IP, whereas the indicators of the Union industry continued to show a downward trend.
For det andet er et vigtigt element udviklingen i lagerbeholdningerne, som i dette tilfælde er en afslørende skadesindikator (se betragtning 93).
Secondly, an important element is the development of stocks, which in this case serves as a telling injury indicator (see above recital 93).
Der er observeret en støt, årlig stigning i lagerbeholdningerne.
A rather steady yearly increase in stocks has been observed.
Denne støtte stigning antyder, at EU-erhvervsgrenen faktisk hovedsagelig var under pres fra de eksporterende producenter fra Kina.
This type of even and steady increase suggests that the Union industry was in fact mainly under the constant pressure by the Chinese exporting producers.
Hvis stigningen i lagerbeholdningerne skulle tilskrives den økonomiske krise, ville der sandsynligvis være konstateret en væsentlig stigning i kriseårene i stedet for en støt tendens i den betragtede periode.
If the increase of stocks were to be attributed to the economic downturn a substantial increase in the years of the crisis would have probably been observed rather than a steady trend over the whole period considered.
Endelig viser analysen af rentabilitetstallene, at især de små virksomheder, som tegnede sig for næsten 50 % af EU-produktionen i UP, kun opnåede en meget beskeden fortjeneste på 0,3 % allerede i 2007 og har været tabsgivende siden.
Finally, the analysis of the profitability figures, especially of the small companies, which accounted for almost 50 % of the Union production during the IP, shows that those companies achieved only a very modest profit of 0,3 % already in 2007 and were loss-making ever since.
Dette antyder, at forværringen af deres situation var begyndt allerede inden krisen.
This suggested that their situation started to deteriorate already before the crisis.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderes det, at forværringen af EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation hovedsagelig skyldes dumpingimporten fra Kina.
In the light of the above, it is considered that the deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry was mainly caused by the dumped imports from China.
Selv om den økonomiske krise og det deraf følgende fald i efterspørgslen kan have bidraget til den væsentlige skade, der påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, er virkningen heraf ikke af et omfang, der kan bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Even though the economic crisis, and the resulting contraction in demand, might have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry, its impact was not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from China and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Påstande vedrørende selvforskyldt skade
Claims with regard to self-inflicted injury
En importør påstod, at den væsentligste årsag til skaden var de polske fliseproducenters salg af fliser til meget lave priser.
One importer claimed that the main cause of injury were low-priced sales by Polish tiles producers.
Det skal i den forbindelse bemærkes, at skadesanalysen bør udføres overordnet for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen og ikke kun for en del af erhvervsgrenen.
In this respect it has to be noted that the injury analysis should be conducted at the level of the Union industry as a whole and not in relation to a part of it.
Kommissionen analyserede ikke desto mindre situationen på det polske marked ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger (det skal bemærkes, at den polske virksomhed i stikprøven besluttede at indstille sit samarbejde, og at ingen andre polske virksomheder indvilligede i at samarbejde).
The Commission nevertheless analysed the situation of the Polish market on the basis of the information available (it is recalled that the sampled Polish company decided to discontinue its cooperation and no other Polish company agreed to cooperate).
Det blev indledningsvist fundet, at det polske salg, udtrykt i mængder, til resten af EU-markedet udgjorde en markedsandel på mindre end 3 % i UP.
Firstly it was found that, in terms of volumes, the Polish sales onto the rest of the Union market represented a market share of less than 3 % during the IP.
Hvis de polske virksomheder for det andet havde samarbejdet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, og deres priser var blevet taget i betragtning ved underbudsanalysen, ville dette have haft en begrænset vægt i den samlede underbudsberegning.
Secondly, had the Polish companies cooperated in the investigation and their prices were taken into account in the undercutting analysis, this would have had a very limited weight on the overall undercutting calculation.
På grund af manglende samarbejde fra den polske virksomhed foreligger der ikke detaljerede prisoplysninger pr. varekontrolnummer.
Due to the lack of cooperation on the part of the Polish company, detailed price information per PCN was not available.
Selv i en situation med »maksimal indvirkning«, hvor det forudsættes, at det samlede polske salg var blevet inkluderet i beregningen, ville indvirkningen have været minimal og ikke have ændret det samlede billede på grund af de relativt lave salgsmængder [5].
But even under a ‘maximum impact’ approach, assuming that all Polish sales would have been included in the calculation, the impact would have been marginal and would have not changed the overall picture in view of the relative low sales volumes [5].
På denne baggrund var den eventuelle indvirkning af det polske salg på den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, begrænset.
On this basis the impact of the Polish sales on the injury suffered by the Union industry, if any, was limited.
En anden påstand om selvforskyldt skade var, at enkelte EU-producenter skulle have suppleret deres kataloger med import af kinesiske fliser og videresolgt dem under deres eget varemærke.
Another claim alleging self-inflicted injury was that some Union producers would have completed their catalogues with imports of Chinese tiles and re-sold them under their own brand names.
Denne påstand var dog ikke underbygget, og desuden viste beviser, som blev indsamlet under undersøgelsen, at denne import var marginal.
This claim was however not substantiated and in addition evidence collected during the investigation showed that those imports were marginal.
Det kan således ikke konkluderes, at EU-producenternes import bidrog til den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Hence, it cannot be concluded that those imports by the EU producers, contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater
Export performance for the Union industry
Eksportresultaterne blev også undersøgt som en af de andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, som kunne tilføje EU-erhvervsgrenen skade, for at sikre, at eventuel skade forårsaget af disse andre faktorer ikke blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Export performance was also examined as one of the known factors other than the dumped imports, which could have injured the Union industry, to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Analysen af Eurostats tal viste, at eksporten fra Unionen faktisk faldt med 44 %.
The analysis of Eurostat data showed that indeed the exports from the Union decreased by 44 %.
Eksportpriserne steg dog med 32 %.
However the prices of those exports increased by 32 %.
Hos de samarbejdsvillige producenter i stikprøven var faldet dog mindre udtalt (– 24 %).
For the cooperating sampled producers the decrease was less pronounced (– 24 %).
Derfor fandt man, at faldet i eksportmængder ikke kan forklare den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Hence, it is considered that the decrease in export volume cannot explain the level of injury suffered by the Union industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderes det foreløbigt, at EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, som erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the export performance of the Union industry did not contribute to the material injury suffered by it.
Det blev således konkluderet, at der er en årsagssammenhæng mellem den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, og dumpingimporten fra Kina.
It was thus concluded that there is a causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from China.
Den økonomiske krise og importen fra andre tredjelande end Kina havde en indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, men var ikke af et omfang, der kunne bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
The economic crisis and imports from third countries other than China had an impact on the situation of the Union industry but it was not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from China and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
På grundlag af ovenstående analyse af virkningerne af alle kendte faktorer for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation konkluderes det derfor foreløbigt, at der er en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, der er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen i UP.
Based on the above analysis of the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry, it was therefore provisionally concluded that there is a causal link between the dumped imports from China and the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Der var en høj samarbejdsgrad og støtte blandt medlemmerne af European Association (Cerame-Unie) og størstedelen af de nationale sammenslutninger af producenter.
There was a high level of cooperation and support from the European Association (Cerame-Unie) and the major national associations of producers.
Desuden har ingen EU-producenter givet udtryk for deres modvilje mod indledningen af undersøgelsen eller indførelsen af foranstaltninger.
Moreover, no Union producers have declared their opposition to the initiation of the investigation or the imposition of measures.
Dette antyder, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger tydeligvis er i EU-producenternes interesse.
This suggests that the imposition of measures is clearly in the interest of the Union producers.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenen påførtes væsentlig skade på grund af virkningerne af dumpingimporten, som underbød erhvervsgrenens priser, jf. betragtning 76 ff.
The investigation showed that the Union industry is suffering material injury because of the effects of dumped imports which undercut its prices, as elaborated in recital 76 et seq.
Det kan forventes, at EU-erhvervsgrenen vil få fordel af foranstaltningerne, som med sandsynlighed vil hindre fornyet dumpingimport til lave priser.
It can be expected that the Union industry would benefit from the measures which would likely prevent a further surge of dumped, low-priced imports.
Indføres deres ikke foranstaltninger, kan det forventes, at stigningen i dumpingimporten af keramiske fliser til lave priser vil fortsætte eller endda øges.
Should measures not be imposed, it can be expected that the increase of imports of dumped, low-priced ceramic tiles would continue, if not increase.
Virkningen af faldet i salgspriserne, som blev udøvet af dumpingimporten fra Kina, vil fortsat trykke EU-producenternes salgspriser og fortjeneste.
The effect of depression of sales prices exerted by the dumped imports from China would continue to compress Union producers’ sales prices and profits.
Da EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation og rentabilitet ikke er solid nok til at modstå yderligere pristryk fra dumpingimporten, som i høj grad underbød deres priser, kan dette sandsynligvis føre til en gradvis lukning af en række EU-producenter.
As the financial situation and profitability of the Union industry is not strong enough to withstand further price pressure exerted by dumped imports that considerably undercut their prices, this would lead very likely to the progressive demise of a large number of Union producers.
Samarbejdsviljen hos de ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører og brugere udgjorde ca. 6 % af den samlede mængde af varer importeret fra Kina.
The cooperation of unrelated importers and users accounted for around 6 % of the total volume of imports from China.
I stikprøveundersøgelsen (jf. betragtning 15) blev syv ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører (én var en bruger) udtaget.
In the sampling exercise (see recital 15), seven unrelated importers (one being a user) were selected.
De tegnede sig for ca. 5 % af den samlede import fra Kina.
They accounted for around 5 % of total imports from China.
De samarbejdsvillige importører var overvejende forhandlere af fliser, dog med undtagelse af én importør, hvor handelen med fliser repræsenterer en lille del af de samlede forretninger.
The cooperating importers were mainly trading tiles, with an exception of one importer for whom tiles’ trade represents a small fraction of its overall business.
For de samarbejdsvillige importører udgjorde andelen af import fra Kina en væsentlig del af deres samlede indkøb (mere end 75 %).
For those cooperating importers the share of imports from China of their total purchases was very significant (above 3/4).
Selv om det lader til, at der er en margen til at absorbere en stigning i priserne på den kinesiske import, idet importørernes fortjeneste på denne import er på ca. 50 %, angiver de normalt en fortjeneste på ca. 5 %.
Although it appears that there is margin to absorb a price increase of Chinese imports, since the importers’ mark-up on those imports is around 50 %, they normally report profits of around 5 %.
Hvis foranstaltningerne indføres vil de ud fra et simpelt omkostningsperspektiv sandsynligvis få en virkning på importørernes forretninger.
Consequently, from a simple cost perspective, should measures be imposed they would in all likelihood have an impact on the importers’ business.
Undersøgelsen viste dog, at det er muligt for importører og brugere at skifte til varer, der købes fra tredjelande eller fra lande i Unionen.
However, the investigation revealed that it is possible for importers and users to switch to products sourced from third countries or from within the Union.
Dette kan gøres ganske nemt, da den undersøgte vare fremstilles i mange lande både i og uden for Unionen (Tyrkiet, De Forenede Arabiske Emirater, Egypten, Sydøstasien, Brasilien mv.).
This change can occur quite easily since the product under investigation is manufactured in several countries, both in the Union and outside (Turkey, United Arab Emirates, Egypt, Brazil, countries of South-East Asia, and others).
En importør erklærede, at virksomheden forsøgte at skifte leverandør efter indledningen af undersøgelsen, men dog uden held.
One importer declared that it tried to switch suppliers, as a consequence of the initiation of the investigation, but its efforts were unsuccessful.
På den anden side erklærede en anden importør, at denne proces allerede var undervejs, da undersøgelsen blev indledt, og havde været succesrig.
On the other hand, another importer declared that this process was already ongoing at the time of the investigation and was successful.
En tredje påstod, at den ville udvide sit udbud til producenter fra andre lande end Kina, og at dette kunne gøres ganske nemt.
A third one claimed that it would expand its portfolio to non-Chinese producers and that this would be easily done.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at indførelsen af foranstaltningerne ikke vil hindre EU-importørerne i af købe lignende varer fra andre leverandører.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of measures would not hamper Union importers from buying similar products from other sources.
Målet med antidumpingtolden er desuden ikke at lukke af for visse handelskanaler, men derimod at genskabe rimelige handelsvilkår og modvirke illoyal handelspraksis.
Further, the aim of the anti-dumping duties is not to seal off specific trade channels but to restore the level playing field and counter-act unfair trade practices.
Endelig kunne den forholdsvis lave samarbejdsgrad blandt de ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører vise, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ikke vil få en væsentlig indvirkning på deres aktivitet.
Finally, the rather low level of cooperation of unrelated importers could suggest that the imposition of measures would not have a significant impact on their activity.
Kommissionen kontaktede to store brugersammenslutninger i Unionen.
The Commission contacted two major users’ association in the Union.
Byggesektoren (repræsenteret ved European Construction Industry Federation — den europæiske entreprenørsammenslutning) besluttede ikke at samarbejde aktivt i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
The construction sector (represented by the European Construction Industry Federation) decided not to cooperate actively in the investigation.
Sammenslutningen besvarede Kommissionens oprindelige forespørgsel, men indstillede herefter sit samarbejde som følge af manglende interesse blandt medlemmerne.
It replied to Commission’s initial enquiry, but thereafter ceased to cooperate due to the lack of interest from its members.
Den lave samarbejdsgrad blandt brugerne kunne antyde, at sektoren i vidt omfang ikke importerer fra Kina, eller at sektoren ikke vil blive hårdt ramt, hvis der indføres foranstaltninger.
This low level of cooperation from users would suggest that the sector does not rely heavily on Chinese imports or that, in case of measures, it would not be harmed significantly.
Dette synes navnlig at være tilfældet i byggesektoren, hvor keramiske fliser, som producenterne anførte under kontrolbesøgene, har en marginal indvirkning på de endelige omkostninger.
This seems particularly true in the construction sector, where, as declared by producers during verification visits, ceramic tiles have a marginal bearing on final costs.
Dette synes berettiget i lyset af omkostningerne til de øvrige materialer i forbindelse med nybyggeri eller renoveringsarbejde.
This would appear reasonable given the cost of other materials in new constructions or renovations.
Samtidig er det, som anført ovenfor, forholdsvis nemt at skifte leverandør.
Also, as mentioned above, the sources of supply could be switched relatively easily.
European Do-It-Yourself Association (EDRA — den europæiske sammenslutning af gør-det-selv-folk) henvendte sig til Kommissionen på vegne af sine medlemmer.
The European Do-It-Yourself Association (EDRA) contacted the Commission on behalf of its members.
Sammenslutningen indsendte sine bemærkninger i begyndelsen af undersøgelsen og påstod, at indførelsen af told ville føre til en stigning i forbrugerpriserne og at et skift til andre leverandører ville medføre højere omkostninger både for distributører og kunder.
This association submitted its comments at the beginning of the investigation, claiming that duties would lead to an increase in consumer prices and a switch to other sources of supply would trigger a high cost, both for distributors and customers.
Disse påstande blev dog ikke underbygget.
These claims have, however, not been substantiated.
De endelige forbrugeres interesser
Interest of final consumers
Kommissionen kontaktede en forbrugersammenslutning, som svarede, at den ikke var interesseret i at samarbejde.
The Commission contacted one association of consumers which replied that it was not interested in cooperating.
Ingen andre forbrugersammenslutninger gav sig til kende.
No other consumers’ association made itself known.
Antidumpingtoldens virkninger for forbrugerne bliver sandsynligvis begrænsede, da mellemhandlernes avance normalt er ret høj.
The impact of anti-dumping duties on consumers is likely to be limited, since the mark-up applied by resellers is normally very high.
Selv i tilfælde af prisstigninger vil antidumpingtolden få begrænsede virkninger for forbrugerne, idet stigningen i omkostningerne vil variere mellem 1,5 og 3 EUR pr m2 (baseret på gennemsnitsprisen for den kinesiske import på 4,5 EUR i UP).
Even in case of price increases, these would rather have a limited impact on consumers given that the cost increase would range between EUR 1,5 and EUR 3 per m2 (based on average price of Chinese imports of EUR 4,5 in the IP).
Individuelle forbrugere køber begrænsede mængder af fliser og ikke særligt ofte.
Individual consumers buy limited quantities of tiles and not too frequently.
Desuden kan en prisstigning på kort sigt have positive virkninger på længere sigt for forbrugerne ved at sikre konkurrence på markedet.
Further, short-term price increase might have beneficial long term effects for consumers in ensuring competition on the market.
Manglende konkurrence kan i det lange løb føre til endnu højere prisstigninger og til, at lavprisimporten helt forsvinder.
Lack of competition in the long run might lead to even higher price increase and disappearance of low priced imports.
Ingen leverandører eller sammenslutninger af leverandører gav sig til kende i løbet af undersøgelsen.
Neither suppliers nor association of suppliers made themselves known during the investigation.
Undersøgelsen viste, at de leverandører, der ville være mest interesseret i den igangværende undersøgelse, var fabrikanter af udstyr til produktion af fliser.
The investigation revealed that the suppliers that could be mostly interested by the ongoing proceeding were the manufacturers of equipment for the production of tiles.
Undersøgelsen viste, at visse kinesiske producenter købte sådant udstyr fra leverandører i Unionen.
The investigation showed that certain Chinese producers purchased such equipment from suppliers based in the Union.
De officielle tal viste ikke desto mindre, at salget fra Unionen til Kina fulgte en stabil, let faldende tendens i de seneste ti år, og at Kina udgjorde en betydelig, men dog ikke overvældende del af deres salg (ca. 10 %).
Nevertheless, it appeared from official data that sales from the Union to China followed a stable, slightly decreasing trend during the last decade, and that China represented a sizeable, but not an overwhelming part of their sales (around 10 %).
Leverandørernes vigtigste kunder var nemlig EU-producenter, og derfor har leverandørerne en afgørende interesse i og afhænger af EU-erhvervsgrenens resultater.
Indeed the main customers of the suppliers were Union producers hence the suppliers are vitally interested in and depend upon the performance of the Union industry.
Det manglende samarbejde fra denne sektor kunne desuden antyde, at leverandørerne ikke mener, at antidumpingforanstaltninger overfor importen af den pågældende vare vil skade deres situation betydeligt.
Moreover, the lack of cooperation from this sector suggested that suppliers do not consider that anti-dumping measures against imports of the product concerned would significantly harm their situation.
