Lagerbeholdningerne faldt med 52 % i den betragtede periode.
Stocks decreased by 52 % over the period considered.
Denne indikator skal dog ikke betragtes som relevant i denne sektor, da sektoren overvejende er baseret på bestillinger, og producenterne derfor har tendens til at have begrænsede varelagre.
However, this indicator is not to be considered as relevant in this sector, as it is based mainly on orders and, accordingly, producers tend to hold limited stocks.
Faldet i lagerbeholdningerne i UP skal ses i lyset af det lavere aktivitetsniveau, der skyldtes en indskrænkning af EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The decrease in stocks in the IP should be seen in light of the lower level of activity following the downsizing of the Union industry.
Følgende tabel viser udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens priser, opdelt på det bundne og det frie marked.
The following table represents the Union industry’s price evolution split between the captive and the free market.
Gennemsnitlig enhedssalgspris på det bundne marked
Average unit selling price on captive market
Gennemsnitlig enhedssalgspris på det frie marked
Average unit selling price on free market
Salgspriserne faldt på begge markeder, selv om faldet var større på det bundne marked (– 22 %) end på det frie marked (– 17 %).
Sales prices fell in both markets, even if the decrease was sharper in the captive market (– 22 %) than in the free market (– 17 %).
Rentabilitet, likviditet, evne til at rejse kapital, investeringer og investeringsafkast
Profitability, cash flow, ability to raise capital, investments and return on investment
Rentabilitet på det frie marked
Profitability on free market
Likviditet på det frie marked
Cash flow on free market
Rentabiliteten for samme vare på det frie marked blev beregnet som nettooverskuddet før skat ved EU-erhvervsgrenens salg af samme vare på det frie EU-marked udtrykt i procent af omsætningen i forbindelse med dette salg.
Profitability for the like product on the free market was established by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product by the Union industry on the Union free market, as the percentage of the turnover of such sales.
Rentabiliteten på det frie marked faldt markant og førte til tab i den betragtede periode.
The profitability on the free market decreased sharply and turned to losses over the period considered.
Rentabiliteten viste en faldende tendens mellem 2008 og UP.
Profitability was showing a decreasing trend between 2008 and the IP.
Selv om den steg en anelse i UP sammenlignet med 2010, var rentabiliteten dog negativ.
Although slighlty increasing during the IP compared to 2010, profitability remained negative.
Likviditeten fulgte også en gradvist negativ tendens mellem 2008 og UP og faldt med 48 % i den betragtede periode.
Cash flow also followed a progressively negative trend between 2008 and the IP, decreasing by 48 % during the period considered.
Evnen til at rejse kapital blev også analyseret for det samlede marked, og der konstateredes en konstant forringelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens evne til at skabe likviditet og dermed en svækkelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation.
The ability to raise capital was analysed in relation to the total market and it has been found that there is a constant deterioration of the ability of the Union industry to generate cash and consequently, a weakening of the financial situation of the Union industry.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysningsdokumentet påstod en interesseret part, at rentabiliteten og likviditeten burde undersøges på det samlede marked og ikke kun på det frie marked, da en analyse af skaden på det frie marked alene ikke ville være fuldstændig i lyset af EU-erhvervsgrenens særlige situation, hvor hovedparten af salget er bestemt til bunden anvendelse.
Following the disclosure of the information document, one interested party claimed that profitability, cash flow should be examined at the level of the total market and not only at the level of the free market, as an assessment of the injury at the level of the free market only would not be complete, given the Union industry’s specific situation where most of its sales are destined for captive use.
Som nævnt i betragtning 55 og 58 skal det bemærkes, at priserne på det bundne marked er afregningspriser, og en analyse for det bundne marked ville derfor ikke have været hensigtsmæssig med henblik på skadesanalysen, da den ikke ville afspejle priserne på det frie marked, hvor konkurrencen med importen fra Kasakhstan fandt sted.
As mentioned above in recitals 55 and 58, it should be noted that as the prices in the captive market are merely transfer prices, an analysis at the level of the captive market would not have been meaningful for the purpose of the injury analysis, as it would not reflect prices of the free market where the competition with the imports from Kazakhstan took place.
Desuden er der taget højde for EU-erhvervsgrenens aktiviteter på det bundne marked som led i de relevante dele af analysen af årsagssammenhængen, og mere specifikt i betragtning 135-136.
Moreover, the effect of the Union industry’s activities in the captive market has been factored in the relevant parts of the causality analysis, and more specifically in recitals from 135 to 136 below.
Nedenstående tal viser udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens investeringer på det samlede marked i den betragtede periode:
The figures below represent the evolution of investments of the Union industry in relation to the total market during the period considered:
Investeringer og investeringsafkast
Investments and return on investment
Investeringsafkast på det samlede marked
Return on investment on total market
Ovenstående tabel viser, at EU-erhvervsgrenen formindskede sine investeringer i den samme vare med 31 %.
The table above demonstrates that the Union industry decreased its investments by 31 % in the like product.
Dette hang sammen med en indskrænkning i erhvervsgrenen.
This was linked to the downsizing of the industry.
De foretagne investeringer havde navnlig til formål at overholde de forskriftsmæssige krav og forbedre og vedligeholde produktionsteknologien og –processen for at øge effektiviteten.
The investments made were mainly linked to the need to comply with regulatory requirements as well as improving and maintaining production technology and process in order to improve efficiency.
Investeringsafkastet for hvidt fosfor fulgte også en negativ tendens mellem 2008 og UP.
The return on investments of white phosphorus also followed a negative trend between 2008 and the IP.
Analysen af EU-erhvervsgrenens situation viste en tydelig nedadgående tendens for alle de vigtigste skadesindikatorer.
The analysis of the situation of the Union industry showed a clear downward trend of all the main injury indicators.
I forhold til et relativt stabilt forbrug på det frie marked faldt den samlede produktion med 25 % i den betragtede periode.
Against a relatively stable consumption on the free market, overall production fell by 25 % in the period considered.
I samme periode mistede EU-erhvervsgrenen 20 % af den samlede markedsandel og 63 % på det frie marked.
During the same period, the Union industry lost 20 % of the overall market share and 63 % of the free market.
Kapacitetsudnyttelsen faldt med 25 %.
Capacity utilisation decreased by 25 %.
I løbet af den betragtede periode faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens samlede salgsmængde med 17 %.
Over the period considered, the overall Union industry’s sales volume decreased by 17 %.
Der kunne konstateres en stærkere nedadgående tendens i salgsmængden på det frie marked, som udviste et fald på 64 % i den betragtede periode.
A stronger downward trend in sales volumes could be observed in the free market which saw a 64 % decrease over the period considered.
EU-erhvervsgrenens fald i salgsmængden ledsagedes af et fald i salgsprisen på 17 %.
The decrease in sales volumes of Union industry was accompanied by a decrease in sales price by 17 %.
En lignende situation gjorde sig gældende på det bundne marked, hvor priserne faldt med 22 % i den betragtede periode.
The situation was similar in the captive market where prices decreased by 22 % during the period considered.
Faldende salgsmængder sammenholdt med faldende priser havde en indvirkning på fortjenstniveauerne og førte til tab.
The loss of sales volume along with the decrease in prices had an effect on profit levels and led to losses.
Disse påstande blev ikke bekræftet af resultaterne af den nuværende undersøgelse, som klart viste en nedadgående tendens, måske ikke i alle, men i de vigtigste skadesindikatorer, selv efter 2009.
These allegations were not confirmed by the results of the present investigation which has shown clear downward trends maybe not in all but in the main injury indicators even after 2009.
Visse parter påstod, at der var en faldende tendens både i mængden af og markedsandelen for importen fra det pågældende land i den betragtede periode, og at kapaciteten i den kasakhiske erhvervsgren for hvidt fosfor var overvurderet.
Some parties claimed that there was a decreasing trend both in volume and market share of imports from the country concerned during the period considered and that the capacity of the Kazakh phosphorus industry was overestimated.
Disse påstande blev heller ikke bekræftet af resultaterne i den nuværende undersøgelse, som viste en konstant stigning i mængden af og markedsandelen for importen fra Kasakhstan.
Likewise, these allegations were not confirmed by the findings of the present investigation which showed a constant increase in volume and market share of imports from Kazakhstan.
Produktionskapaciteten hos den eksporterende producent i Kasakhstan blev ligeledes fastlagt på grundlag af verificerede data indsendt af virksomheden.
Likewise, production capacity of the exporting producer in Kazakhstan was determined on the basis of the verified data submitted by this company.
Ud fra ovenstående bekræftede undersøgelsen, at EU-erhvervsgrenens tab sandsynligvis ville føre til indstilling af enhver EU-produktion af en vis størrelse af hvidt fosfor, hvis dumpingimporten fortsat kommer ind på EU-markedet.
In view of the above, the investigation confirmed that should dumped imports continue to enter the Union market, the losses of the Union industry would be likely to lead to the permanent discontinuation of any sizeable Union production of white phosphorus.
Dette bekræftes tilsyneladende af udviklingen efter UP, idet EU-erhvervsgrenen har indgivet konkursbegæring og er under likvidation.
This seems to be confirmed by the developments after the IP, i.e the Union industry has filed for bankruptcy and is under liquidation process.
På baggrund af ovenstående omstændigheder konkluderes det, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
Due to the circumstances presented above, it was concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
DUMPINGIMPORTENS FØLGEVIRKNINGER
EFFECT OF DUMPED IMPORTS
Undersøgelsen viste, at dumpingimporten fra Kasakhstan steg drastisk i den betragtede periode, og at markedsandelen på det frie marked steg med 36 %.
The investigation showed that dumped imports from Kazakhstan increased dramatically over the period considered, increasing their market share in the free market by 36 %.
Der er et tydeligt tidsmæssigt sammenfald mellem stigningen i dumpingimporten og EU-erhvervsgrenens tab af markedsandele.
There was a clear coincidence in time between the increase of dumped imports and the loss of market share of the Union industry.
Undersøgelsen konkluderede også, at dumpingimporten fortsatte med at underbyde EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
The investigation also established that the dumped imports continuously undercut the prices of the Union industry.
Priserne på dumpingimporten faldt med 19 % i den betragtede periode og medførte et øget prisunderbud.
The prices of the dumped imports decreased by 19 % during the period considered and led to an increase of undercutting.
EU-erhvervsgrenen var ikke i stand til at øge sine priser for at modvirke dette pristryk.
Against this price pressure, the Union industry was not able to increase its prices.
EU-erhvervsgrenen var følgelig heller ikke i stand til at dække stigningen i omkostningerne, hvilket fremgår af tabellen nedenfor.
As a consequence, they were not able to cover the increase in costs as shown in below table.
Desuden faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet på EU-markedet markant.
Moreover, the profitability of the Union industry’s sales in the Union market decreased dramatically.

Adskillige interesserede parter påstod, at importen fra Kasakhstan blot fulgte udviklingen i forbruget og således ikke påvirkede markedssituationen for hvidt fosfor.
Several interested parties claimed that imports from Kazakhstan merely followed the development in the consumption and did thus not influence the market situation of white phosphorus.
De oplysninger om import og forbrug, som blev fastlagt i undersøgelsen, bekræftede dog ikke disse påstande og viste tværtimod, at mens forbruget på det frie marked faldt en anelse i den betragtede periode, steg importen fra Kasakhstan, dvs. at den fulgte en modsatrettet tendens i den samme periode.
However, neither the import figures nor the consumption figures determined during the investigation confirmed these claims, which on the contrary showed that, while consumption in the free market slightly decreased during the period considered, imports from Kazakhstan increased, i.e. followed an opposite trend during the same period.
Stigningen i importen fra Kasakhstan faldt sammen med forværringen i EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
This increase in imports from Kazakhstan coincided with the deterioration of the Union industry.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderes det, at stigningen i dumpingimporten fra Kasakhstan til priser, der konstant underbyder EU-erhvervsgrenens priser, har haft en afgørende indflydelse på den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Based on the above, it is concluded that the increase of the dumped imports from Kazakhstan at prices constantly undercutting those of the Union industry have had a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.

Markedet for hvidt fosfor er meget koncentreret, da der kun findes få producenter på verdensplan.
The market of white phosphorus is highly concentrated, since there are only few producers in the world.
De oplysninger, der blev indsamlet under undersøgelsen, har vist, at Folkerepublikken Kina er den førende producent af hvidt fosfor.
Information gathered during the investigation has shown that the People’s Republic of China is the leading producer of white phosphorus.
I begyndelsen af den betragtede periode i 2008 indførte Kina en eksportafgift på 100 % på hvidt fosfor udover den daværende eksportafgift på 20 %.
At the beginning of the period considered in 2008, the People’s Republic of China introduced an export duty rate of 100 % on white phosphorus in addition to the then existing export duty rate applicable of 20 %.
Som følge heraf faldt importen fra Kina markant, og importmængderne forblev lave i hele den betragtede periode, selv om eksportafgiften faldt til 20 % i UP.
As a result, imports from the People’s Republic of China dropped sharply and the import volumes remained low throughout the period considered, although the export duty rate decreased to 20 % in the IP.
Importen fra Den Socialistiske Republik Vietnam (»Vietnam«) udgjorde en relativt lille importmængde i den betragtede periode.
Imports from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (‘Vietnam’) represented a relatively small import volume during the period considered.
Det skal bemærkes, at den gennemsnitlige importpris fra Kina og Vietnam ligger på samme niveau som EU-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitlige enhedspris.
It should be noted that the average unit import prices from the People’s Republic of China and Vietnam are in the same range as the average unit price of the Union industry.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysningsdokumentet påstod en interesseret part, at pristrykket på EU-markedet skyldtes importen af hvidt fosfor fra Kina.
Following the disclosure of the information document, one interested party claimed that the price pressure on the Union market was caused by imports of white phosphorus from People’s Republic of China.
De foreliggende data bekræfter dog ikke denne påstand, idet importmængden fra Kina faldt mellem 2008 og UP (med en stigning i 2010), og importprisen fra Kina var næsten på niveau med EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser i den betragtede periode eller højere.
However, the available data do not confirm this allegation as import volumes from People’s Republic of China decreased between 2008 and the IP (with a peak in 2010) and import prices from the People’s Republic of China were at approximately the same levels than the Union industry’s sales prices throughout the whole period considered, or even higher.
Det ses endvidere, at markedsandelen for importen fra Kina var relativt stabil mellem 2008 og UP (med en stigning i 2010), i modsætning til markedsandelen for Kasakhstan, som konstant voksede, med i alt 36 % mellem 2008 og UP.
It can be further observed that the market share of imports of the People’s Republic of China remained relatively stable between 2008 and the IP (with a peak in 2010), unlike the Kazakh’s market share which increased constantly, by 36 % in total between 2008 and the IP.
Udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens produktionsomkostninger
Development of the Union industry’s cost of production
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysningsdokumentet påstod samme part, at stigningen i EU-erhvervsgrenens enhedsproduktionsomkostninger burde ses som en separat årsag til skade.
Following the disclosure of the information document, the same party claimed that the increase in the unit cost of production of the Union industry should be recognised as a separate cause of injury.
Det blev påstået, at mens prisen på den vigtigste råvare generelt faldt, steg enhedsomkostningerne.
It was argued that while the price of the main raw material decreased overall, unit costs increased.
Undersøgelsen viste, at den største årsag til stigningen i EU-erhvervsgrenens enhedsomkostninger faktisk var tabet af stordriftsfordele som følge af faldende salg på det frie marked, hvilket skyldtes dumpingimporten fra Kasakhstan, og den deraf faldende produktion.
The investigation showed that the main reason for the increase of Union industry’s unit cost was in fact the loss of the economies of scale due to the decreased sales on the free market as a result of the dumped imports from Kazakhstan and the subsequent decrease of production volume.
Stigningen i enhedsomkostningerne kan derfor ikke betragtes som en separat årsag til skade, men som en konsekvens af dumpingimporten.
Therefore, the increase in unit costs cannot be considered as a separate cause of injury, but as a consequence of the dumped imports.
Præferenceaftaler med den eksporterende producent
Preferential agreement with exporting producer
Enkelte interesserede parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens eventuelle skade skyldtes, at forholdet mellem EU-erhvervsgrenen og den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent ophørte med deraf følgende tab af den præferentielle leveringsaftale, hvilket betød, at EU-erhvervsgrenen stod over for konkurrencen med direkte import fra samme eksporterende producent.
Some interested parties claimed that any injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the end of the relationship between the Union industry and the cooperating exporting producer and the consequent loss of the preferential supply agreement, which meant that the Union industry had to face the competition of direct imports from the exporting producer.
Ifølge disse parter kompenserede præferenceaftalen for EU-erhvervsgrenens manglende direkte adgang til den vigtigste råvare, nemlig råfosfat.
According to these parties, the preferential agreement compensated for the lack of direct access by the Union industry to the main raw material, phosphate rock.
Andre parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens tidligere investeringer i den tidligere forretningsmæssigt forbundne virksomhed ved udløbet af præferenceaftalen angiveligt bidrog til den påførte skade, da EU-erhvervsgrenen efter udløbet af præferenceaftalen ikke havde fordel af disse investeringer.
Other parties argued that given the end of the preferential agreement, alleged past investments of the Union industry in the former related company contributed to the injury suffered, because the end of the preferential agreement did not allow the Union industry to benefit from these investments.
Undersøgelsen viste ganske rigtigt, at EU-erhvervsgrenen og den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent mellem 2003 og 2007 var ejet af den samme aktionær, og herefter bestod der fortsat en præferentiel salgsaftale mellem de to parter indtil 2008.
Indeed, the investigation showed that between 2003 and 2007 the Union industry and the cooperating exporting producer were owned by the same shareholder and after that a preferential sales agreement continued to exist between the two parties until 2008.
De pågældende parter fremlagde ingen dokumentation for omfanget af EU-erhvervsgrenens påståede investeringer i den eksporterende producents aktiviteter i Kasakhstan.
The parties concerned did no provide any supporting evidence showing the level of any alleged investments of the Union industry in the activities of the exporting producer in Kazakhstan.
Undersøgelsen viste desuden ikke en direkte forbindelse mellem EU-erhvervsgrenens eventuelle tidligere investeringer og den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes i UP.
The investigation did, furthermore, not reveal any direct link between any possible past investments of the Union industry and the material injury suffered during the IP.
De foreliggende oplysninger viste heller ikke, i hvilket omfang de påståede investeringer kunne have bidraget til EU-erhvervsgrenens aktuelle situation, hvis de overhovedet bidrog.
Indeed, the information available did not show to what extent the alleged investments could have contributed to the current situation of the Union industry, if they contributed at all.
Derfor blev denne påstand afvist som ubegrundet.
Therefore, this claim was rejected as unfounded.
Hvad angår tabet af fælles ejerskab, kan dette heller ikke betragtes som en faktor, der som sådan forårsagede skade.
As to the loss of the common ownership, this cannot be considered as a factor which as such is causing injury.
Tabet af fælles ejerskab betød blot, at den eksporterende producent i Kasakhstan kunne eksportere den pågældende vare direkte til uafhængige kunder i Den Europæiske Union.
Indeed, the loss of the common ownership merely meant that the exporting producer in Kazakhstan could export the product concerned directly to independent customers in the European Union.
Det betød dog ikke, at denne eksport skulle foregå til skadevoldende dumpingpriser.
It did not mean however that such exports should be made at injurious dumping prices.
Det er dette forhold, der forvolder EU-erhvervsgrenen skade.
It is the latter that are causing injury to the Union industry.
