natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
Segmentet for ikkesyreholdige derivater omfatter en bredere vifte af produkter, varierende fra anvendelser som flammehæmmere, vandrensning, tilsætningsstoffer til automobilsmøremidler, lægemidler og landbrugskemikalier.
The non-acid derivatives segment deals with a wider range of products varying in applications such as flame retardants, water treatment, automotive lubricant additives, pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals.
Omkostningerne til den pågældende vare i forhold til de samlede omkostninger til den færdige vare varierer betydeligt mellem brugerne, afhængigt af hvilken vare der fremstilles i de efterfølgende produktionsled.
The cost of the product concerned in relation to the total cost of the finished product varies considerably between those users depending on the downstream product manufactured.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysningsdokumentet fremlagde visse brugere en mere detaljeret opgørelse over deres omkostninger og navnlig fordelingen af omkostningerne til den pågældende vare i deres samlede omkostninger.
After the disclosure of the information document, some users provided a more detailed breakdown of their costs and in particular the cost of the product concerned in their overall costs.
Tallene i spørgeskemaet blev anført på samlet basis og viste, at hvidt fosfor udgjorde fra under 5 % til ca. 30 % af omkostningerne til den endelige vare.
The figures provided in the questionnaire were reported on an aggregated basis and showed that white phosphorus represented from under 5 % to approximately 30 % of the cost of the finished products.
De oplysninger, der blev fremlagt efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger, viste, at disse omkostninger kunne være langt højere for visse specifikke varetyper.
However, the information provided after disclosure indicated that for some specific product types these costs could be considerably higher.
Brugerne i dette segment anvendte flere leverandører og købte ikke udelukkende hvidt fosfor fra Kasakhstan.
Users in this segment had a larger variety of suppliers and were not exclusively sourcing white phosphorus from Kazakhstan.
Brugerne i dette segment producerede også et mere varieret udbud af varer, og de færdige varer, der indeholder hvidt fosfor, varierede derfor i de samlede aktiviteter og udgjorde mellem under 5 % og over 75 %.
Users in this segment also produced a more varied range of products and the importance of finished products incorporating white phosphorus in the overall business varied therefore between below 5 % and over 75 %.
Rentabiliteten af den færdige vare, der indeholder hvidt fosfor, varierede og nåede op over 10 %.
The profitability of the finished product incorporating white phosphorus varied and reached up to over 10 %.
Det skal generelt bemærkes, at for de virksomheder, der havde den laveste rentabilitet, udgjorde varer, der indeholder hvidt fosfor, også en mindre del af den samlede omsætning.
It is generally observed that for the companies where the profit levels were lower the importance of the products incorporating white phosphorus in relation to the total turnover of the overall business was also low.
I sådanne tilfælde forventedes indførelsen af foranstaltninger at få en begrænset indvirkning, men dog ikke ubetydelig, selv hvis det antages, at brugere i dette segment ikke vil kunne vælte eventuelle prisstigninger over på deres kunder i det efterfølgende produktionsled, og at Kasakhstan stadig vil være deres eneste leverandør.
It follows that in such cases the impact of the imposition of measures was expected to be limited, though not negligible assuming that users in this segment would not be able to pass any price increase on to their downstream customers and that Kazakhstan will be their sole supplier.
Brugere i efterfølgende produktionsled
Downstream users
Toldens indvirkning på brugerne i de efterfølgende produktionsled vil være yderligere udvandet, da den kun har en marginal indvirkning på produktionsomkostningerne.
The impact of the duty on the downstream users will be further diluted as it only has a marginal impact on the cost of production.
Undersøgelsen viste også, at de samarbejdsvillige brugere i de efterfølgende produktionsled havde fortjenstmargener på indtil over 15 %.
The investigation has also shown that cooperating downstream users had profit margins up to over 15 %.
Da de direkte brugere har påstået, at de ikke vil være i stand til at vælte eventuelle prisstigninger over på deres brugere i efterfølgende produktionsled, er det desuden usikkert, om der overhovedet vil være en indvirkning.
Furthermore, given that the direct users have claimed that they will not be able to pass on any price increase to their downstream customers, it is uncertain whether there will be an impact at all.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysningsdokumentet påstod en bruger i et efterfølgende produktionsled, at indførelsen af en antidumpingtold, i modsætning til konklusionerne i betragtning 169, ville påvirke dem, da deres leverandører ville kunne vælte omkostningsstigningen over på dem.
Following the disclosure of the information document, one downstream user claimed that, in contrast to the conclusions in recital 169 above, the imposition of anti-dumping duties would effect them as their suppliers would pass on the cost increase to them.
Virksomheden fremlagde dog ingen data, der kunne have bekræftet denne påstand, som derfor afvises.
However, this company did not provide any data which could have confirmed this allegation and therefore this claim was rejected.
På denne baggrund blev det konkluderet, at en antidumpingtold kun vil få en meget begrænset indvirkning, hvis nogen, på rentabiliteten hos brugerne i de efterfølgende produktionsled.
On this basis, it was concluded that anti-dumping duties would only have a very limited impact, if any at all, on the profitability of downstream users.
Konkurrencen på markedet for derivater
Competition in the derivatives market
En række brugere påstod, at hvis foranstaltningerne indførtes, ville de miste konkurrenceevne i forhold til importen af derivater fra Folkerepublikken Kina.
A number of users claimed that should measures be imposed, they would lose competitiveness with regard to imports of derivatives from the People’s Republic of China.
Der blev dog ikke fremlagt konkrete beviser i denne henseende.
However, no concrete evidence was provided in this regard.
Det bemærkes i denne forbindelse, at formålet med en antidumpingtold er at genetablere redelige konkurrencevilkår på EU-markedet.
In this respect, it is noted that an anti-dumping duty aims to restore the level playing field in the white phosphorus market in the Union.
Der forelå ingen beviser for, at importen af derivater af hvidt fosfor fra Folkerepublikken Kina var steget markant i de senere år eller ville stige i den nærmeste fremtid.
No supporting evidence was available that imports of white phosphorus derivatives from the People’s Republic of China had increased considerably over the past years or would increase in the near future.
Der var desuden ingen beviser for, under hvilke omstændigheder en sådan import ville foregå eller til hvilke priser.
In addition, there was no evidence in the file to which conditions such imports would be made or at which price levels.
Påstanden blev derfor afvist.
On this basis, this argument was rejected.
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at antallet af medarbejdere i brugerindustrien opvejer EU-erhvervsgrenens samlede medarbejdertal, og at indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger derfor ville være i strid med Unionens samlede interesser.
Certain interested parties claimed that the number of workers employed in the user industry as a whole outweighs that of the Union industry and that therefore the imposition of anti-dumping measures would be against the overall Union interest.
Det skal bemærkes, at analysen af Unionens interesser ikke er begrænset til en sammenligning af antallet af medarbejdere i EU-erhvervsgrenen på den ene side og i brugerindustrien på den anden side.
It is noted that the Union interest analysis is not limited to a simple comparison of the number of employees of the Union industry on the one hand and the users industry on the other hand.
Den kendsgerning, at brugerne har et større antal medarbejdere, er ikke tilstrækkeligt til at konkludere, at foranstaltningerne vil være i strid med EU-erhvervsgrenens interesser.
Therefore, the fact that users have a higher number of employment on its own is not sufficient to conclude that measures would be against the overall Union industry.
Derimod undersøges indvirkningen af at indføre eller ikke indføre foranstaltninger for erhvervsaktiviteterne og rentabiliteten hos de pågældende brugere, på den ene side og EU-erhvervsgrenen på den anden side.
Rather, the impact of the imposition or non-imposition of measures on the business activities and profitability of the users concerned on the one hand and the Union industry on the other hand is investigated.
Ovenstående analyse har vist, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil påvirke brugerne i begge segmenter, dog i mindre omfang i segmentet for ikkesyreholdige derivater.
The above analysis has shown that the imposition of measures would affect users in both segments, however to a lesser extent in the non-acid derivatives segment.
Hvidt fosfor udgør en væsentlig del af produktionsomkostningerne i segmentet for syreholdige derivater, og en eventuel told vil derfor få en væsentlig indvirkning på deres omkostninger og rentabilitet.
In particular, white phosphorus constitutes a major part of the production cost of the acid derivatives segment and therefore any duty would have a significant effect on their costs and profitability.
Undersøgelsen har også vist, at brugernes overlevelse i dette segment ville være truet, hvis der indføres foranstaltninger.
The investigation has also shown that the existence of the users in this segment would be at stake should measures be imposed.
DEN EUROPÆISKE UNIONS RÅSTOFINITIATIV
THE EUROPEAN UNION’S RAW MATERIAL INITIATIVE
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ville være i strid med Den Europæiske Unions »råstofinitiativ« [3], som blev iværksat for bl.a. at fremme en bæredygtig råstofforsyning og ressourceeffektivitet.
Certain interested parties claimed that the imposition of measures would be in contradiction to the European Union’s ‘raw materials initiative’ [3] put in place to promote amongst others the sustainable supply of raw materials as well as resource efficiency.
Råstofinitiativet er dog ikke en hindring for at indføre antidumpingforanstaltninger, der sigter på at genoprette redelige konkurrencevilkår og dermed behandler den illoyale konkurrence, som blev forårsaget af dumpingpraksis.
The raw materials initiative is, however, not a bar to the imposition of anti-dumping measures that aim at restoring a level playing field and thus addresses unfair competition caused by dumping practices.
På et marked med få producenter på verdensplan vil det under alle omstændigheder være fuldt i overensstemmelse med målet om at sikre en bæredygtig råstofforsyning på EU-markedet, hvis man bibeholder en EU-produktion af et vigtigt råstof.
In any event, it would appear that in a market which is characterised by few producers worldwide, maintaining the existence of Union production of an important raw material would be fully in line with the objective to ensure sustainable supply of raw materials to the Union market.
KONKURRENCESPØRGSMÅL
COMPETITION ISSUES
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil føre til misbrug af en dominerende stilling fra EU-erhvervsgrenens side, idet EU-markedet ville blive lukket for forsyninger fra andre lande.
Certain interested parties claimed that the imposition of measures would lead to the abuse of a dominant position by the Union industry since the Union market would be closed to supply from other sources.
Denne påstand blev underbygget af, at EU-erhvervsgrenen angiveligt tidligere havde anvendt indførelsen af kinesiske eksportrestriktioner til at hæve priserne på EU-markedet.
This claim was supported by the allegation that in the past the Union industry had used the introduction of the Chinese export restrictions to raise their prices in the Union market.
Der blev dog ikke fremlagt konkrete beviser for et misbrug af en dominerende stilling.
No factual evidence of abuse of dominant position was, however, provided.
Det erindres, jf. ovenfor, at EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel faldt betydeligt i den betragtede periode.
From recital above, it is recalled that the Union industry’s market share decreased considerably over the period considered.
Den eksporterende producents markedsandel på det frie marked steg derimod væsentligt, og den eksporterende producent er på nuværende tidspunkt langt den største leverandør på EU-markedet.
On the contrary, the market share of the exporting producer in the free market increased substantially which is currently by far the largest supplier in the Union market.
De underbudsniveauer, der blev beregnet i denne undersøgelse, jf. betragtning 71, var højere end det beregnede dumpingniveau, jf. betragtning 48, hvilket indikerede, at prisniveauet på importen fra Kasakhstan selv med indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger under anvendelse af reglen om den laveste told sandsynligvis fortsat vil ligge under EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser.
Furthermore, the undercutting levels calculated in this investigation (71) were higher than the level of dumping found, (recital 48 above) which indicated that even with the imposition of anti-dumping measures, by applying the lesser duty rule, the price levels of the imports from Kazakhstan are likely to remain below the sales prices of the Union industry.
Det er derfor ikke sandsynligt, at importen vil ophøre som følge af foranstaltningerne.
It is therefore not likely that imports would cease as a consequence of the measures.
Det skal desuden erindres, at hvidt fosfor fra Folkerepublikken Kina og Vietnam blev importeret til EU-markedet i den betragtede periode til trods for de gældende eksportrestriktioner i Kina og sandsynligvis vil fortsætte.
It is also recalled that white phosphorus from the People’s Republic of China and Vietnam was imported into the Union market throughout the period considered, despite the export restrictions in place in the People’s Republic of China, and will likely continue.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger påstod en række interesserede parter, at indførelsen af antidumpingtold ville øge brugernes omkostninger, mens EU-erhvervsgrenen på markedet for derivater (bunden anvendelse) ikke ville blive påvirket i samme omfang af tolden.
Following the disclosure of the information document, several interested parties claimed that the imposition of duties would increase the cost of the users while the Union industry in the derivatives market (captive use) would not be affected to the same extent by the duty.
Dette vil skabe en konkurrencefordel for EU-erhvervsgrenen på markedet for derivater og sandsynligvis give EU-erhvervsgrenen en dominerende stilling på markedet i de efterfølgende handelsled.
This would create a competitive advantage for the Union industry in the derivatives market and likely, lead to a dominant position of the Union industry in the downstream market.
Som allerede nævnt i betragtning 181 ovenfor var de underbudsniveauer, der blev beregnet i denne undersøgelse, højere end det beregnede dumpingniveau, hvilket indikerede, at prisniveauet på importen fra Kasakhstan selv med indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger under anvendelse af reglen om den laveste told sandsynligvis fortsat vil ligge under EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser.
However, as it was already described above in recital 181, the undercutting levels calculated in this investigation were higher than the level of dumping found, which indicated that even with the imposition of anti-dumping measures, by applying the lesser duty rule, the price levels of the imports from Kazakhstan are likely to remain below the sales prices of the Union industry in free and captive market.
Derfor blev påstanden om, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ville føre til EU-erhvervsgrenens misbrug af en dominerende stilling på markedet for derivater, afvist.
As a result, the claim that the imposition of measures would lead to the abuse of a dominant position by the Union industry in the derivatives market, has to be rejected.
Ud fra ovenstående betragtning kan det derfor konkluderes, at indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger ikke vil få handelsfordrejende virkninger på EU-markedet.
Given the above considerations, it could therefore be concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would not have a distorting effect on the Union market.
HANDELSBALANCEN MELLEM KASAKHSTAN OG UNIONEN
TRADE BALANCE BETWEEN KAZAKHSTAN AND THE UNION
Den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent påstod, at den var en stor importør af udstyr og maskiner til fremstilling af den pågældende vare fra Unionen.
The cooperating exporting producer claimed to be a major importer of equipment and machinery for the production of the product concerned from the Union.
Virksomheden påstod i den forbindelse, at hvis der indførtes antidumpingforanstaltninger, ville dette påvirke handelsbalancen mellem Unionen og Kasakhstan, idet den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent ikke længere ville importere udstyret fra Unionen.
In this regard, it was argued that if anti-dumping measures were imposed, this would affect the trade balance between the Union and Kazakhstan as the cooperating exporting producer would stop importing such equipment from the Union.
Målet med at indføre handelsbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger er at genskabe redelige handelsforhold og har ingen relation til køb af maskiner og udstyr til fremstilling af den pågældende vare.
The object of imposing trade defence measures is to redress unfair trade practices and has no relation with the purchase of machinery and equipment for the manufacturing of the product concerned.
Denne påstand må derfor betragtes som irrelevant i forbindelse med denne antidumpingundersøgelse.
This argument must therefore be considered irrelevant in the context of this anti-dumping investigation.
DEN GENERELLE PRÆFERENCEORDNING
GENERALISED SCHEME OF PREFERENCES
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger påstod en række interesserede parter, at indvirkningen ville blive yderligere forværret for brugerne, da importen af den pågældende vare i tillæg til en eventuel antidumpingtold også vil blive pålagt en normal told pr. 1. januar 2014.
Following the disclosure of the information document, several interested parties claimed that the impact on users will be further enhanced as the imports of the product concerned, in addition to a possible anti-dumping duty, will also be subject to the normal custom duty as from 1 January 2014.
Det skal bemærkes, at Kasakhstan som led i Den Europæiske Unions nye generelle præferenceordning, som forventes at træde i kraft den 1. januar 2014, ikke længere vil være på listen over begunstigede lande. Importen af hvidt fosfor fra Kasakhstan vil derfor fra.
It is noted that indeed, under the new Generalised Scheme of Preferences of the European Union (GSP) which is expected to enter into force on 1 January 2014, Kazakhstan will no longer be listed as a beneficiary country.
1. januar 2014 være pålagt en normal toldsats på 5,5 %, så længe denne ordning finder anvendelse.
Therefore, as of 1 January 2014, and until that situation persists, imports of Kazakhstan of white phosphorus will be subject to the normal duty rate of 5,5 %.
Der kan dog i analysen ikke tages hensyn deres præcise indvirkning på importpriser og –mængden, og virkningen af denne udvikling på EU-markedet kan som udgangspunkt ikke evalueres.
However, future developments cannot be taken into consideration in the analysis as their precise impact on import prices and quantities and the effect of such developments on the Union market cannot be evaluated a priori.
Der kan således ikke drages konklusioner på dette grundlag.
Therefore, no firm conclusions can be drawn on this basis.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, er der stor sandsynlighed for, at produktion af hvidt fosfor i Unionen og EU-erhvervsgrenens produktion af derivater ikke vil blive genoptaget.
Should measures not be imposed, there is a strong likelihood that production of white phosphorus within the Union and the production of derivatives by the Union industry will not resume.
På den anden side og som påstået af en række interesserede parter kan indførelsen af foranstaltninger ikke give EU-erhvervsgrenen tilstrækkelig støtte, idet importen fra Kasakhstan, selv når den er pålagt told, stadig vil være mere konkurrencedygtig på prisen end EU-erhvervsgrenens salg, og foranstaltningerne vil derfor sikre, at EU-erhvervsgrenen kan overvinde den aktuelle udsatte situation.
On the other hand, as also claimed by some interested parties, the imposition of measures may not provide sufficient relief to the Union industry, as imports from Kazakhstan, even when subject to duties, would remain more competitive in terms of prices than the Union industry sales and would therefore not guarantee that the Union industry could overcome its current fragile situation.
Det blev derimod konstateret, at brugerne i segmentet for syreholdige derivater i vidt omfang ville blive alvorligt påvirket af foranstaltningerne, og i visse tilfælde vil deres levedygtighed endda være truet, idet de ikke kan absorbere omkostningsstigningen og fortsat være konkurrencedygtige på markedet i de efterfølgende handelsled.
In contrast, it was found that users in the acid derivatives segment would be severely affected by the measures, and in some cases even their viability might be at stake, as they could not absorb the cost increase and continue to be competitive in the downstream market.
Dette førte til lukning blandt producenter i de efterfølgende handelsled i dette segment.
This might lead to the closure of donwstream producers in this segment
Det blev i undersøgelsen konkluderet, at foranstaltningernes virkning for segmentet for ikkesyreholdige derivater generelt ville blive mindre udtalte end i segmentet for syreholdige derivater, men specifikke brugere i dette segment kan dog blive væsentligt mere påvirket, afhængigt af hvilken specifik vare de fremstiller i de efterfølgende produktionsled.
Moreover, while the investigation found that the impact of measures in the non-acid derivatives segment was expected to be overall less pronounced compared to the acid derivatives segment, some specific users in this segment might be more significantly affected depending on the specific downstream product produced by them.
Generelt kunne toldens virkninger for dette segment ikke betragtes som ubetydelige.
Overall, the impact of the duty in this segment could not be regarded as negligible.
Det skal bemærkes, at de samarbejdsvillige brugere, der fremlagde de nødvendige oplysninger i denne procedure, tegnede sig for næsten hele importen fra det pågældende land og for en meget høj andel af forbruget af hvidt fosfor på det frie marked.
It should be noted that the cooperating users providing the necessary information in this proceeding, represented almost the totality of imports from the country concerned and a very high proportion of the consumption of white phosphorus in the free market.
De gik stærkt imod indførelsen af en antidumpingtold på grund af virkningen for deres omkostninger, som ifølge deres oplysninger ikke kunne eller ikke fuldt ud kunne afspejles i deres salgspriser, hvilket derfor ville føre til en negativ tendens i deres økonomiske og finansielle situation med mulige nedlukninger af produktionsanlæg til følge.
They were strongly against the imposition of any anti-dumping duties because of the impact on their costs which they showed could not or could not fully be reflected in their selling prices and which would therefore lead to a downward trend of their economic and financial situation with possible closures of production.
