Selv om undersøgelsen viste, at importen fra de pågældende lande også blev berørt af efterspørgselsnedgangen på EU-markedet i 2009, skal det bemærkes, at det i den betragtede periode lykkedes eksportørerne i de pågældende lande at øge deres salgsmængder og markedsandele gennem dumpingimportens prismæssige pres på markedet.
Although the investigation revealed that imports from the countries concerned were also affected by the fall in demand on the Union market in 2009, it is noteworthy that, over the period considered, the exporters in the countries concerned managed to increase their sales volumes and market share through the price pressure exerted on the market by the dumped imports.
Derfor er det foreløbig opfattelsen, at EU-erhvervsgrenens forværrede økonomiske situation hovedsagelig skyldes stigningen i dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande og underbudspolitikken, som praktiseres af de pågældende landes eksportører, og ikke et faldende forbrug.
Accordingly, it is provisionally considered that the deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry is caused mainly by the surge in the dumped imports from the countries concerned and the undercutting practised by exporters in the countries concerned and not by decreasing consumption.
Selv om den faldende efterspørgsel bidrog til skaden, kunne den ikke bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem den væsentlige skade og den øgede dumpingimport.
Even though the contraction in demand contributed to the injury, it could not break the causal link between the material injury suffered and the increase in dumped imports.
Priserne på de vigtigste råmaterialer
Prices of the main raw material
Som det fremgår af tabel 8 ovenfor holdt de gennemsnitlige produktionsomkostninger sig forholdsvis stabile til trods for en kraftig stigning i omkostningerne på det vigtigste råmateriale (sukker).
As shown in Table 8 above, the average cost of production remained relatively stable despite a sharp increase in the cost of the main raw material (sugar).
Undersøgelsen viste nemlig, at den samarbejdsvillige EU-producents produktionsomkostninger ikke fulgte udviklingen i priserne på et af de vigtigste råmaterialer ved produktionen af oxalsyre.
Indeed, the investigation showed that the cost of production of the cooperating Union producer did not follow the same trend as the evolution of the prices of one of the main raw materials in the production of oxalic acid.
Den kraftige stigning på 50 % i de gennemsnitlige sukkerpriser i den betragtede periode er blevet modvirket af de investeringer, som den samarbejdsvillige EU-producent har foretaget for at forbedre sine produktionsprocesser.
The sharp increase of average sugar prices by 50 % over the period considered has been mitigated by the investments made by the cooperating Union producer to improve its production processes.
Den samlede nettoeffekt var derfor et fald på 12 % i produktionsomkostningerne.
Overall, therefore, the net effect was a decrease of 12 % in the cost of production.
Ikke desto mindre steg salgsprisen pr. enhed med 31 % i den pågældene periode, jf. tabel 7 ovenfor.
Nonetheless, as shown in Table 7 above, unit sales price increased by 31 % during the period considered.
Det blev konstateret, at de samme økonomiske betingelser med hensyn til prisudviklingen på råmaterialer gjorde sig gældende for eksportørerne i de pågældende lande, da importpriserne pr. enhed fulgte samme udvikling som den samarbejdsvillige EU-producents salgspriser pr. enhed, om end på et lavere niveau.
It was found that the exporters in the countries concerned were subject to the same economic conditions with regard to the evolution of prices of raw materials, as unit import prices followed the same trend as the unit sales prices of the cooperating Union producer, albeit at lower levels.
Uden skadevoldende dumping kunne man forvente, at priserne ville være blevet tilpasset regelmæssigt på grundlag af udviklingen i de forskellige produktionsomkostningselementer.
In the absence of injurious dumping it could be expected that prices would have been regularly adapted to reflect the development of the various components of the cost of production.
Den samarbejdsvillige EU-producent var ikke i stand til at opnå de solide avancer, som denne kapitalintensive producent havde behov for, og producentens likviditet faldt derfor også.
The cooperating Union producer was not able to achieve the solid profit margins necessary for this capital-intensive producer and its cash flow also decreased.
Derfor konkluderes det foreløbig, at dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande, der underbød den samarbejdsvillige EU-producents priser, pressede priserne på EU-markedet og forhindrede den samarbejdsvillige EU-producent i at hæve sine salgspriser for at dække sine omkostninger eller for at opnå en rimelig rentabilitet.
Accordingly, it is provisionally considered that the dumped imports from the countries concerned, which undercut the cooperating Union producer’s prices, depressed the prices on the Union market and prevented the cooperating Union producer from increasing its sales prices to cover its costs or to achieve a reasonable level of profitability.
I betragtning af at priserne på råmaterialer også påvirkede eksportørerne i de pågældende lande, blev det foreløbigt konkluderet, at stigningen i råmaterialepriserne ikke kan have haft indvirkning på den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen led i den betragtede periode.
Given that the raw material prices were also affecting the exporters in the countries concerned, it was provisionally concluded that the increase in the prices of raw materials could not have had an impact on the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the period considered.

Eksportresultaterne blev også undersøgt som en af de andre kendte faktorer, der samtidig kunne have skadet EU-erhvervsgrenen, 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 at the same time have injured the Union industry, to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Analysen viste, at den samarbejdsvillige EU-producents eksportsalg til ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne parter udgjorde en betydelig del af denne producents samlede omsætning (ca. 30 %).
The analysis showed that the export sales to unrelated parties made by the cooperating Union producer represented an important part of their total sales (around 30 %).
I den betragtede periode steg den samarbejdsvillige EU-producents eksportmængder med 52 %, mens eksportprisen pr. enhed faldt betydeligt, i modsætning til den samarbejdsvillige EU-producents salgspris, som steg kraftigt.
During the period considered, the export volumes of the cooperating Union producer increased by 52 %, while the unit price of export sales decreased considerably, in contrast with the sales price of the cooperating Union producer within the Union, which increased significantly.
Undersøgelsen viste, at eksporten spillede en vigtig rolle for at opretholde kapacitetsudnyttelsen med henblik på dækning af de faste omkostninger og omkostningerne ved investeringer i maskiner.
The investigation revealed that exports played an important role in keeping capacity utilisation high to cover the fixed costs and costs of investments in machinery.
Selv om eksportpriserne var lavere end priserne på EU-markedet, skyldtes disse lave priser konkurrencen fra eksportører fra de pågældende lande inden for billig oxalsyre på eksportmarkederne.
Even though export sales were made at prices lower than those on the Union market, these low prices resulted from competition with low-priced oxalic acid in the export markets by the exporters from the countries concerned.
Undersøgelsen viste, at denne eksport gav den samarbejdsvillige EU-producent mulighed for at afbøde den skade, virksomheden havde lidt på EU-markedet, og derfor ikke var af en sådan art, at den kunne bryde årsagsforbindelsen mellem dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
The investigation showed that these exports allowed the cooperating Union producer to mitigate the injury suffered on the EU market and are thus not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the countries concerned and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Da der ikke er nogen import fra andre end de pågældende lande, har det ingen indflydelse på EU-markedet.
In the absence of any imports from countries other than the countries concerned, this element had no impact on the EU market.
Eget forbrug
Captive use
Som nævnt i betragtning 52 til 55 ovenfor, er EU-producenternes eget forbrug begrænset til overførsler inden for en af virksomhederne, hvor oxalsyre omdannes til oxalater.
As mentioned in recitals 52 to 55 above, captive use is limited to captive transfers within one of the Union producers, where oxalic acid is transformed into oxalates within the company.
Fortjenesten ved salg af oxalater er betydelig og gav i praksis producenten mulighed for at fortsætte sine aktiviteter på trods af tabene på oxalsyre.
The profits made by selling oxalates are considerable and actually allowed the producer to continue its activities despite the losses on oxalic acid.
Dette element bidrager derfor ikke til den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Therefore this element does not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Økonomisk krise
Economic crisis
I 2009 var EU's forbrug af oxalsyre det halve af forbruget i 2008 på grund af den økonomiske krise, og dette bidrog til en nedgang i EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængder (- 40 %) og -værdi (- 45 %).
In 2009 the Union consumption of oxalic acid halved compared to 2008 due to the economic crisis, contributing to a loss in sales volume (– 40 %) and value (– 45 %) for the Union industry.
Ved at nedsætte priserne med ca. 5 % i denne periode var EU-erhvervsgrenen dog i stand til at vinde markedsandele (11 %) og dermed mindske krisens negative virkninger.
However, by reducing prices in this period by around 5 % the industry was able to gain market share (11 %) and so minimise the negative effects of the crisis.
EU-erhvervsgrenen var tæt på et balancepunkt i 2009.
Indeed, the industry was close to breakeven in 2009.
Selv om den økonomiske krise i 2008-2009 kan have bidraget til EU-erhvervsgrenens dårlige resultater, kan den dog ikke generelt anses for at have en sådan virkning, at den kan bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skadelige situation for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Although the economic crisis in 2008-2009 might have contributed to the Union industry’s poor performance, overall, this could not be considered to have an impact such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of the Union industry.
Konklusion med hensyn til årsagssammenhæng
Conclusion on causation
Ovennævnte analyse viste, at der i den betragtede periode var sket en stigning i de pågældende landes salgsmængde og markedsandele.
The above analysis demonstrated that there was an increase in the sales volume and market share of the countries concerned over the period considered.
Desuden blev det konstateret, at denne import fandt sted til dumpingpriser, der i undersøgelsesperioden lå betydeligt, næsten 22 %, under de priser, som EU-erhvervsgrenen forlangte for den omhandlede vare på EU-markedet.
In addition, it was found that these imports were made at dumped prices which were significantly — almost 22 % — below the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market for the product concerned during the IP.
Denne stigning i den billige dumpingimport fra de pågældende lande med hensyn til mængde og markedsandel skete på trods af et generelt fald i efterspørgslen på EU-markedet i den betragtede periode.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports from the countries concerned was achieved despite an overall decrease in demand on the Union market during the period considered.
Importens voksende markedsandel faldt sammen med den negative udvikling i EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel i samme periode.
The growing market share of the imports coincided with the negative development in the market share of the Union industry during the same period.
Samtidig kunne der iagttages en negativ udvikling i de vigtigste indikatorer for EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske og finansielle situation som beskrevet ovenfor.
At the same time a negative development in the main indicators of the economic and financial situation of the Union industry were observed as shown above.
Nedgangen i forbruget på EU-markedet i 2009 påvirkede EU-erhvervsgrenens resultater negativt.
The fall in consumption on the Union market in 2009 affected negatively the performance of the Union industry.
Generelt kunne denne nedgang og andre faktorer ikke anses for at have en sådan virkning, at det brød årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skadelige situation for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
However, overall, this and the other factors could not be considered to have an impact such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of the Union industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående analyse, hvor der blev behørigt skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, som påvirkede EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og dumpingimportens skadevoldende virkninger, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande har forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, som omhandlet i grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
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 dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the countries concerned have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21 blev det undersøgt, om der til trods for de foreløbige konklusioner vedrørende skadevoldende dumping var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke var i EU's interesse at indføre foreløbige antidumpingforanstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation it was examined whether, despite the provisional conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt provisional anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
EU's interesser blev analyseret på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenens, importørernes og brugernes interesser.
The analysis of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers and users of the product concerned.
EU-erhvervsgrenen består af to producenter, som har produktionsanlæg i forskellige EU-medlemsstater og har 30-50 direkte beskæftigede i produktion og salg af den samme vare.
The Union industry consists of two producers, with factories located in different Member States of the Union, employing directly 30-50 people in the production and sale of the like product.
Den ene af de to EU-producenter protesterede ikke mod indledningen af undersøgelsen, men fremkom ikke med yderligere oplysninger og samarbejdede ikke i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
One of the two Union producers did not object to the initiation of the investigation, but provided no further information and did not cooperate during the investigation.
EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade som følge af dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande.
The Union industry has suffered material injury caused by the dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Det skal erindres, at de mest relevante skadesindikatorer viste en negativ tendens i den betragtede periode.
It is recalled that most relevant injury indicators showed a negative trend during the period considered.
Navnlig skadesindikatorerne vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle resultater, såsom rentabilitet, likviditet og investeringsafkast, blev påvirket i alvorlig grad.
In particular, injury indicators relating to the financial performance of the Union industry, such as profitability, cash flow and return on investments, were seriously affected.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, vurderes det, at oxalsyresektorens genopretning ikke vil være tilstrækkelig til at sikre en genopretning af EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation, som i så fald kan blive yderligere forværret.
In the absence of measures, it is considered that the recovery in the oxalic acid sector will not be sufficient to allow the recovery of the Union industry’s financial situation and might deteriorate further.
Det forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil genoprette effektive og rimelige handelsvilkår på EU-markedet og sætte EU-erhvervsgrenen i stand til at tilpasse priserne på oxalsyre, så de afspejler produktionsomkostningerne.
It is expected that the imposition of measures will restore effective and fair trading conditions on the Union market, allowing the Union industry to align the prices of oxalic acid to reflect the cost of production.
Det kan forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil betyde, at EU-erhvervsgrenen kan genvinde i hvert fald en del af den markedsandel, den mistede i den betragtede periode, og vil få yderligere positive virkninger for dens 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 midlertidige antidumpingforanstaltninger over for importen af oxalsyre med oprindelse i Kina og Indien vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse.
It was therefore concluded that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures on imports of oxalic acid originating in the PRC and India would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Der blev modtaget besvarelser af spørgeskemaet fra otte ikke-forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører.
Questionnaire replies were received from eight unrelated importers.
Tre af disse importører importerede kun små mængder af den omhandlede vare og kunne vælte prisstigningen over på deres kunder.
Three of these importers only imported small volumes of the product concerned and could transfer the price increase to their clients.
Nogle af dem anførte, at de måske ville overveje at fjerne varen fra deres varesortiment, hvis der blev indført antidumpingtold.
Some of them indicated that they might consider removing the product from their product range if anti-dumping duties were imposed.
Den fjerde importør hævdede, at virksomhedens kunder kunne anvende ordningen med aktiv forædling i forbindelse med alle deres slutprodukter, der blev fremstillet ved hjælp af oxalsyre og genudført fra EU.
The fourth importer claimed that its clients could use the inward processing scheme for all their end-products using oxalic acid in the production process and re-exported outside the EU.
Antidumpingforanstaltninger ville derfor kun få ubetydelige virkninger for denne importør.
Accordingly, the impact of the imposition of anti-dumping measures on this importer would not be significant.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderes det foreløbigt, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger som helhed ikke ville få nogen betydelige virkninger for importørerne.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of measures should not, overall, have a significant impact on the importers.
Generelt er avancerne på oxalsyre meget høje for importørerne, og de forventer, at de kan vælte prisstigningerne over på deres kunder.
In general, profit margins on oxalic acid are considerably high for importers and they expect to be able to transfer the price increases to their customers.
De samarbejdsvillige brugere tegnede sig for 22 % af EU's forbrug af oxalsyre i undersøgelsesperioden.
The cooperating users accounted for 22 % of the Union consumption of oxalic acid during the IP.
Undersøgelsen viste, at adskillelsen mellem brugen af uraffineret og raffineret oxalsyre er relevant for EU's undersøgelse af brugernes interesser.
The investigation showed that the distinction between the uses of unrefined oxalic acid and refined oxalic acid is pertinent for the EU interest test with regard to users.
Den samarbejdsvillige EU-erhvervsgren fremstiller uraffineret oxalsyre, mens den anden ikke-samarbejdsvillige EU-producent fremstiller raffineret oxalsyre, der fortrinsvis anvendes inden for medicinal- og fødevareindustrien og inden for fremstilling af fint metalpulver.
The cooperating Union industry produces unrefined, whilst the other non-cooperating EU producer produces refined, which is used mainly in the pharmaceutical, food and fine metal powder extraction sectors.
Brugerne af uraffineret oxalsyre hævdede, at indførelse af foranstaltninger ville betyde, at den samarbejdsvillige EU-erhvervsgren, som er eneste EU-leverandør, ville forhøje prisen.
The users of unrefined oxalic acid claimed that the imposition of measures would lead to a price increase by the cooperating Union industry, which is the only EU supplier.
På den anden side nævnte brugerne også, at total afhængighed af import fra udlandet ikke ville være ønskelig.
On the other hand, users also mentioned that it would not be desirable to be completely dependent on foreign imports.
For brugere, der fremstiller rengørings- og blegemidler, tegner oxalsyre sig kun for en lille del af deres råmaterialer, og de kunne sandsynligvis vælte prisstigningen som følge af antidumpingtolden over på deres kunder eller ændre formuleringen af deres produkter, så oxalsyre erstattes af andre produkter.
For users producing cleaning and bleaching products, oxalic acid represents only a small part of their inputs and they could probably transfer the price increase resulting from anti-dumping duties to their clients or change the formulas of their products where possible to use substitute products in place of oxalic acid.
For brugere, der fremstiller poleremidler, udgør oxalsyre en stor andel af råmaterialeomkostningerne og kan ikke erstattes af andre produkter.
For the users producing polishing products, oxalic acid represents a major share of their input costs and is not substitutable.
På grund af konkurrencen fra producenter uden for EU er det usandsynligt, at brugerne vil kunne vælte hele prisforhøjelsen over på deres kunder.
It is unlikely that users would be able to fully transfer price increases to their clients due to competition from non-EU producers.
De eksporterer dog 95 % af deres produkter til lande uden for EU og kan kræve tolden tilbagebetalt i henhold til ordningen for aktiv forædling.
However, they export 95 % of their products outside the EU and could reclaim duties in the framework of the inward processing system.
For brugere, der anvender oxalsyre til andre formål, såsom genanvendelse af metaller på grundlag af skrot, udgør oxalsyre en betydelig andel af de samlede produktionsomkostninger ved det slutprodukt, hvortil der anvendes oxalsyre.
For users using oxalic acid for other applications such as recycling metals from scrap, oxalic acid represents an important portion of the total production costs of the end-product for which oxalic acid is used.
Markedet for slutproduktet er meget ustabilt.
The market of the end-product is very volatile.
Oxalsyre kan ikke erstattes af andre produkter i produktionsprocessen.
Oxalic acid is not replaceable in the production process.
EU's største skrotgenanvendelsesvirksomhed dækker for øjeblikket hele sit behov for oxalsyre ved køb hos EU-producenter.
The main Union scrap recycler currently buys all of its oxalic acid from the Union producers.
