Derfor udgør de to producenter Ineos Oxide Ltd og Wacker GmbH EU-erhvervsgrenen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 1, og artikel 5, stk. 4, og tegner sig for 100 % af EU-produktionen.
Therefore, the two producers Ineos Oxide Ltd and Wacker GmbH constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation, representing 100 % of the Union production.
De benævnes herefter "EU-erhvervsgrenen".
They will hereinafter be referred to as the ‘Union industry’.
Fastlæggelse af det relevante EU-marked
Determination of the relevant Union market
Med henblik på at fastslå, om EU-erhvervsgrenen, jf. betragtning 28 ff., havde lidt væsentlig skade, blev det undersøgt, i hvilket omfang EU-erhvervsgrenens bundne produktion af den pågældende vare skulle inddrages i analysen.
For the purpose of establishing whether the Union industry, as defined in recitals (28) et seq., had suffered material injury, it was examined to what extent the Union industry's captive production of the product concerned had to be considered in the analysis.
Den pågældende vare sælges faktisk af EU-erhvervsgrenen både til a) det frie marked og b) det bundne marked (inden for samme gruppe i virksomheden).
Indeed, the product concerned is sold by the Union industry to both (a) the free market and (b) the captive market (within the same group of the company).
På det bundne marked anvendes den pågældende vare som råmateriale til fremstilling af en række varer til brug i maling, klæbemidler, overfladebelægninger osv.
In the captive market, the product concerned is used as a raw material for the manufacture of various products used in paints, adhesives, coatings, etc.
I denne sammenhæng betragtes salg af den pågældende vare til brug som råmateriale til fremstilling af andre varer for virksomheder i samme gruppe som "bunden anvendelse", hvis mindst en af følgende to betingelser er opfyldt: i) salg foregår ikke til markedspriser eller ii) kunden har ikke et frit valg af leverandør inden for samme gruppe af virksomheder.
In this context, sales of the product concerned for use as a raw material to manufacture other products for companies in the same group shall be considered as ‘captive use’, in so far as at least any of the following two conditions occur: (i) sales are not made at market prices or (ii) the customer does not have a free choice of supplier within the same group of companies.
I løbet af undersøgelsen blev det foreløbigt konstateret, at salg til forretningsmæssigt forbundne enheder, som køber den pågældende vare som råmateriale til fremstilling af en anden vare, måtte betragtes som bundet salg; det konstateredes, at i henhold til virksomhedernes handelspolitik havde disse forretningsmæssigt forbundne enheder ikke frit valg af leverandør.
In the course of the investigation, it was provisionally found that sales to related entities which purchase the product concerned as a raw material for the manufacture of a different product had to be considered as captive sales; it was found that pursuant to the commercial policy of the companies, these related entities did not have a free choice of supplier.
Denne sondring er relevant for skadesanalysen.
This distinction is relevant for the injury analysis.
Det konstateredes, at vinylacetat bestemt til bunden anvendelse ikke var i direkte konkurrence med import fra det pågældende land.
Vinyl acetate destined for captive use was found not to be directly in competition with imports from the country concerned.
Derimod konstateredes det, at produktion bestemt til salg på det frie marked var i direkte konkurrence med den import, fordi dette salg skete på normale markedsvilkår, hvilket betyder, at der er frit valg af leverandør.
By contrast, production destined for the free market sales was found to be in direct competition with those imports, because these sales were made under normal market conditions; this implies free choice of supplier.
Dette berettigede differentieringen mellem det bundne og det frie marked i analysen for visse skadesindikatorer.
This warranted the differentiation between the captive and the free market in the analysis for certain injury indicators.
I den forbindelse konstateredes det, at følgende økonomiske indikatorer vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenen med rimelighed kunne undersøges ved henvisning til den samlede aktivitet, dvs. inkl. EU-erhvervsgrenens bundne anvendelse, produktion, kapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, investeringer, lagerbeholdninger, beskæftigelse, produktivitet, lønninger og størrelsen af dumpingmargenen.
In this respect, it was found that the following economic indicators related to the Union industry could reasonably be examined by referring to the total activity, i.e. including the captive use of the Union industry, production, capacity, capacity utilisation, investments, stocks, employment, productivity, wages and magnitude of the dumping margin.
Det skyldes, at disse indikatorer påvirkes, uanset om varen leveres videre med henblik på yderligere forarbejdning inden for en virksomhed eller en gruppe af virksomheder, eller om den sælges på det frie marked.
This is because those indicators are affected regardless of the fact whether the product is transferred downstream within a company or a group of companies for further processing or whether it is sold on the free market.
For så vidt angår rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringsafkast og evne til at rejse kapital, blev analysen kun foretaget på det frie markedsniveau, fordi det forhold, at priserne på de bundne markeder ikke er repræsentative for de normale markedsbetingelser, har indflydelse på disse indikatorers troværdighed.
As for profitability, cash flow, return on investment and ability to raise capital, the analysis was performed at the level of the free market only because the fact that prices in the captive markets are not representative of the normal market conditions has a bearing on the reliability of those indicators.
De andre økonomiske indikatorer vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenen, dvs. forbrug, salg, markedsandele og priser på EU-markedet, blev analyseret og vurderet især under henvisning til den fremherskende situation på det frie marked, navnlig hvor der findes målelige markedsvilkår, og hvor transaktionerne foregår på normale markedsvilkår, herunder frit valg af leverandør.
The other economic indicators relating to the Union industry, namely consumption, sales, market shares and prices in the Union market were analysed and evaluated mainly referring to the situation prevailing on the free market, in particular where measurable market conditions exist and where transactions are made under normal market conditions implying free choice of supplier.
For disse indikatorer blev det bundne marked imidlertid også taget i betragtning og sammenlignet med data for det frie marked for at fastslå, om sandsynligheden taler for, at situationen på det bundne marked ville ændre ved de konklusioner, der byggede på analysen af det frie marked alene.
For those indicators, the captive market was however also taken into account and compared to data for the free market in order to determine whether the situation of the captive market was likely to change the findings based on the analysis of the free market alone.
EU-forbruget blev fastslået ved at lægge den samlede importmængde af vinylacetat, baseret på Eurostats tal, krydstjekket med de efterprøvede data fra de eksporterende producenter, for så vidt angår import fra det pågældende land, til den samlede salgsmængde på EU-markedet fra EU-erhvervsgrenen og den anden producent i Unionen.
The Union consumption was established by adding the total import volume of vinyl acetate based on Eurostat, cross-checked against the verified data provided by the exporting producers for imports from the country concerned, to the total sales volume on the Union market of the Union industry and the other producer located in the Union.
I betragtning af det beskedne antal leverandører og behovet for at beskytte fortrolige forretningsoplysninger, jf. grundforordningens artikel 19, er udviklingen i forbruget indekseret.
In view of the small number of suppliers and the need to protect confidential business data pursuant to Article 19 of the basic Regulation, the development of consumption is indexed.

I den betragtede periode faldt forbruget på det samlede EU-marked og på det frie marked lidt, med henholdsvis 1 % og 3 %.
In the period considered the consumption on the total Union market and on the free market slightly decreased by 1 % and 3 % respectively.
Omvendt registreredes en stigning på 4 % på det bundne marked i samme periode.
Conversely, an increase of 4 % was recorded on the captive market during the same period.

Importen til det samlede EU-marked (bundne og frie marked) fra det berørte land voksede med 48 % i den betragtede periode.
Over the period considered, imports to the total Union market (captive and free market) from the country concerned increased by 48 %.
Dette førte til en stigning i markedsandel i samme periode på 49 %.
This led to a market share increase during the same period by 49 %.
Markedsandelen på det frie marked voksede med 52 %.
Market share in the free market increased by 52 %.
Gennemsnitspriserne på importen fra det pågældende land udviklede sig således:
Average prices of the imports from the country concerned, developed as follows:
Importpriser fra USA
Price of imports from the United States of America
Importpriser (EUR pr. ton)
Import prices (EUR/MT)
Trods en lille stigning i UP faldt de samlede gennemsnitlige importpriser på varer fra det pågældende land med 26 % mellem 2007 og UP.
While seeing a slight increase in the IP, the overall average imports prices from the country concerned decreased by 26 % between 2007 and the IP.
Der blev foretaget en sammenligning af salgspriserne på EU-markedet mellem EU-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitspriser på det frie marked og det pågældende lands gennemsnitlige importpriser.
A comparison of sales prices on the Union market was made between the average prices of the Union industry charged on the free market and average import prices from the country concerned.
EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser blev i givet fald justeret til ab fabriksniveau, dvs. ekskl. fragtomkostninger i EU og efter fradrag af nedslag og rabatter.
The relevant sales prices of the Union industry were adjusted where necessary to an ex-works level, i.e. excluding freight costs in the Union and after deduction of discounts and rebates.
Disse priser blev sammenlignet med de priser, som de samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producenter i USA krævede, netto, uden rabatter og om nødvendigt justeret til priserne cif, EU's grænse, med passende justering for toldklareringsomkostninger og omkostninger påløbet efter importen.
These prices were compared with prices charged by the cooperating US exporting producers net of discounts and adjusted where necessary to CIF Union frontier price duly adjusted for customs clearance costs and post-importation costs.
Med udgangspunkt i de efterprøvede oplysninger fra de samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producenter viste sammenligningen, at den pågældende importerede vare fra alle samarbejdsvillige eksportører i UP blev solgt i Unionen til priser, der underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
The comparison showed that during the IP, imports of the product concerned from all the cooperating exporters were sold in the Union at prices which undercut the Union industry’s prices.
Det gennemsnitlige underbudsniveau, udtrykt i procent af EU-erhvervsgrenens priser, var på 17,9 %.
The average level of undercutting, when expressed as a percentage of the Union industry's prices, was 17,9 %, based on the verified data submitted by the cooperating exporting producers.
Dette underbudsniveau var kombineret med en negativ prisudvikling og et betydeligt pristryk.
This level of undercutting was combined with a negative price development and a substantial price depression.

I begyndelsen af den betragtede periode konkurrerede importen fra det pågældende land med importen fra andre lande, herunder Taiwan, Ukraine og Rusland.
At the beginning of the period considered, imports from the country concerned competed with other countries including Taiwan, Ukraine and Russia.
I slutningen af den betragtede periode var importen fra disse traditionelle kilder faldet til næsten ingenting.
At the end of the period considered, imports from these traditional sources had decreased to almost nil.
Et nyt eksportland, Saudi-Arabien, som kom ind på EU-markedet i UP, eksporterede omkring 73000 tons i UP.
A new exporting country, Saudi Arabia, which entered the Union market during the IP, exported around 73000 tonnes in the IP.
Indvirkningen af denne udvikling på EU-erhvervsgrenen drøftes i betragtning 91 ff.
The impact of this development on the Union industry is discussed in recitals (91) et seq.
I medfør af grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5, omfattede undersøgelsen af dumpingimportens virkninger for EU-erhvervsgrenen en vurdering af alle økonomiske faktorer og forhold, der vedrørte EU-erhvervsgrenens situation fra 2007 til udgangen af UP.
Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the examination of the impact of dumped imports on the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic factors and indices relating to the state of the Union industry from 2007 to the end of the IP.
Makroøkonomiske indikatorer (produktion, produktionskapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, salgsmængder, markedsandel, beskæftigelse, produktivitet, lønninger og størrelsen af dumpingmargenerne) og mikroøkonomiske indikatorer (lagerbeholdninger, salgspriser, rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringsafkast, evne til at rejse kapital, investeringer, produktionsomkostninger) blev vurderet på niveauet for den samlede EU-erhvervsgren.
Macroeconomic indicators (production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volumes, market share, employment, productivity, wages and magnitude of dumping margins) as well as micro-economic indicators (stocks, sales prices, profitability, cash flow, and return on investment, ability to raise capital and investments, production costs) were assessed at the level of the entire Union industry.
Vurderingen var baseret på oplysninger fra de efterprøvede spørgeskemaer fra EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The assessment was based on the information derived from the verified questionnaires submitted by the Union industry.
Det bør bemærkes, at klageren først købte sit produktionsanlæg i løbet af 2007; derfor fandtes der ikke oplysninger for visse skadesindikatorer (rentabilitet, lønninger, investeringer, investeringsafkast, likviditet) for 2007.
It is to be noted that the complainant procured its production facilities only during 2007; as a consequence, the data for certain injury indicators (profitability, wages, investments, return on investment, cash flow) could not be obtained for 2007.
Som følge heraf dækker analysen for disse indikatorer perioden 2008 til UP.
Therefore, for those indicators, the analysis covers the period 2008 to IP.
Klageren er fokuseret på at levere den pågældende vare udelukkende til det frie marked, hvorimod den anden EU-producent navnlig er fokuseret på det bundne marked med en lille del bestemt til det frie marked.
The complainant is focused on delivering the product concerned entirely to the free market whereas the other Union producer is focused mainly on the captive market with a small fraction destined for the free market.
I betragtning af det forhold, at oplysningerne til skadesanalysen især kom fra to kilder, hvoraf den ene navnlig er fokuseret på det bundne marked, og i betragtning af at det er blevet konstateret, at der bør foretages en sondring imellem det samlede marked og det frie marked, for så vidt angår en række skadesindikatorer, måtte oplysninger vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenen indekseres af fortrolighedshensyn, jf. grundforordningens artikel 19.
Taking into account the fact that the data for the injury analysis is mainly derived from two sources only, one of which is mainly focused on the captive market, and considering that it has been found that a distinction between the total market and the free market has to be made for a number of injury indicators, data relating to the Union industry had to be indexed in order to preserve confidentiality pursuant to Article 19 of the basic Regulation.
Nedenstående tabel viser udviklingen i produktion, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse i hele EU-erhvervsgrenen:
The table below indicates the evolution of production, production capacity and capacity utilisation of the total Union industry:
Samlet produktion, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse i Unionen
Total Union production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Samlet produktion
Total Production
Samlet produktionskapacitet
Total Production capacity
Samlet kapacitetsudnyttelse
Total Capacity utilisation
Som vist i ovenstående tabel faldt den samlede EU-produktion med 8 % i løbet af den betragtede periode.
As shown in the table above, during the period considered, the overall Union production has decreased by 8 %.
I samme periode voksede produktionskapaciteten med 43 %.
During the same period, the production capacity increased by 43 %.
Denne øgede kapacitet hang imidlertid ikke sammen med etablering af nye produktionslinjer, men med øget effektivitet i udnyttelsen af den eksisterende kapacitet.
However, this increase in capacity was not linked to the establishment of new production lines but to the improved efficiency in the utilisation of the existing capacity.
Kombinationen af disse to faktorer, dvs. fald i produktionsmængden og stigning i produktionskapaciteten i samme periode, førte til et betydeligt fald i kapacitetsudnyttelsen på 36 % i den betragtede periode.
The combination of these two factors, i.e. decrease in production volume and increase in production capacity during the same period led to a significant decrease in capacity utilisation by 36 % over the period considered.
Tallene nedenfor angiver EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde, markedsandel og gennemsnitlige salgspriser pr. enhed, opdelt på det samlede, det bundne og det frie marked.
The figures below present the sales volume, market share and average unit sales prices of the Union industry split between the total, captive and free market.
Samlet salg
Total sales
Salget på det bundne marked
Captive market sales
Den samlede salgsmængde faldt med 12 % i den betragtede periode.
The overall sales volume decreased by 12 % in the period considered.
Dette fald var større på det frie marked, hvor det udgjorde 33 % mellem 2007 og UP.
This drop was even steeper in the free market where it fell by 33 % between 2007 and the IP.
Det bundne marked fulgte den modsatte tendens, og salgsmængden voksede med 13 % i samme periode.
The captive market followed the opposite trend and sales volume increased by 13 % in the same period.
Faldet i salgsmængden afspejledes i markedsandelen, som var udsat for et fald på 11 % for det samlede marked og et fald på 31 % på det frie marked mellem 2007 og UP.
The drop in sales volume was reflected in market share that saw an 11 % decrease for the whole market and 31 % decrease in the free market between 2007 and the IP.
Det bundne marked fulgte igen den modsatte tendens, og dets markedsandel voksede med 9 % i samme periode.
Again, the captive market followed the opposite trend and saw an increase of 9 % during the same period.

Total Yearly wages
Den samlede beskæftigelse forblev stabil mellem 2007 og UP.
Total employment remained stable between 2007 and the IP.
Det bør bemærkes, at fremstilling af vinylacetat ikke er arbejdskraftintensiv, og beskæftigelsestallene hænger derfor ikke nøje sammen med produktionstallene.
It should be noted that production of vinyl acetate is not labour-intensive and employment figures are therefore not closely linked to the production figures.
Beskæftigelsen er således ikke af særlig vigtighed som indikator i denne sektor.
Employment is therefore not of significant importance as an indicator in this sector.
I løbet af den betragtede periode faldt den samlede produktivitet pr. beskæftiget med 8 % mellem 2007 og UP.
During the period considered the total productivity per employee decreased by 8 % between 2007 and the IP.
Denne fulgte faldet i produktionen og den øgede produktionskapacitet, jf. betragtning 58 ff.
This followed the decrease in production and the increase in production capacity as explained in the recital (58) et seq.
De fastslåede margener lå alle over bagatelgrænsen.
All margins established were above the de minimis level.
I betragtning af omfanget af og priserne på dumpingimporten kan virkningerne af den faktiske dumpingmargen endvidere ikke anses for at være ubetydelige.
Furthermore, given the volumes and the prices of the dumped imports, the impact of the actual margin of dumping cannot be considered as negligible.
Analysen af de mikroøkonomiske indikatorer (lagerbeholdninger, salgspriser, rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringsafkast, evne til at rejse kapital og investeringer samt produktionsomkostninger) blev gennemført for den samlede EU-erhvervsgren, jf. betragtning 28 ff.
The analysis of micro-economic indicators (stocks, sales prices, profitability, cash flow, and return on investment, ability to raise capital and investments, production costs) was carried out at the level of the entire Union industry as established in recitals (28) et seq.
Ud af ovenstående indikatorer måtte vurderingen af rentabilitet, lønninger, investeringer, investeringsafkast og likviditet være fokuseret på det frie marked, hvilket betyder, at den især ville afspejle oplysningerne fra klageren.
From the above indicators, the assessment of profitability, wages, investments, return on investment, cash flow had to be focused on the free market, meaning that it would reflect mainly the data provided by the Complainant.
I betragtning af ovenstående kunne udviklingen i indikatorerne for fortjeneste og likviditet ikke gives i indeksformat af fortrolighedshensyn.
Given the aforementioned, the development of the indicators profit and cash-flow, could not be given in index format due to confidentiality reasons.
Desuden kunne klageren som anført i betragtning 56 ikke fremlægge oplysninger for 2007, for så vidt angår visse skadesindikatorer; derfor blev analysen af disse indikatorer foretaget for perioden 2008 til UP.
In addition, as explained in recital (56), the complainant could not provide data for 2007 concerning certain injury indicators; therefore, the analysis of those indicators was performed for the period of 2008 to the IP.
Nedenstående tal viser udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens lagerbeholdninger i hver af de betragtede perioder:
The figures below represent the evolution of the stocks of the Union industry during each of the period concerned:
Samlede lagerbeholdninger
Total Stocks
Lagrene mindskedes med 31 % i den betragtede periode.
Stocks decreased by 31 % over the period considered.
Denne indikator skal dog ikke betragtes som relevant i denne sektor, da vinylacetatproducenter fremstiller varer på bestilling og har tendens til kun at have begrænsede varelagre.
However, this indicator is not to be considered as relevant in this sector, as vinyl acetate producers produce to order and tend to hold limited stocks.
