Som nævnt ovenfor kunne disse årsager derfor ikke bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem importen og den væsentlige skade, der påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
As already mentioned above, they could therefore not break the causal link between these imports and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
En række interesserede parter påstod, at den omstændighed at EU-erhvervsgrenen indgav konkursbegæring, selv om kun en begrænset salgsmængde var i konkurrence med importen fra Kasakhstan, bekræftede, at importen ikke kunne have forårsaget den væsentlige skade, som påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Several interested parties claimed that the fact the the Union industry filed bankruptcy even though only a limited amount of sales is in competition with the imports from Kazakhstan, confirms that those imports could not have been the cause of the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Alle andre mulige faktorer blev dog analyseret, og som beskrevet i betragtning 106-142 var ingen af dem af en sådan art, at de kunne bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skade, der påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
However, all possible other factors were analysed and as described above in recitals 106 to 142, none of these factors could break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Det skal endvidere bemærkes, at EU-erhvervsgrenen er vertikalt integreret, og at pristrykket fra dumpingimporten derfor også havde en skadevoldende virkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens marked for derivater.
It should also be noted that as the Union industry is vertically integrated and that therefore the price pressure from the dumped imports had also a detrimental effect in the Union industry’s derivatives market.
På grundlag af ovenstående analyse, hvor der behørigt blev skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, konkluderedes det derfor endeligt, at der er en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kasakhstan og den væsentlige skade, der er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen i UP.
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 was therefore definitively concluded that there was a causal link between the dumped imports from Kazakhstan and the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21 blev det undersøgt, om der til trods for konklusionerne om skadevoldende dumping var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke var i Unionens interesse at indføre antidumpingforanstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether, despite the conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
Unionens interesser blev analyseret på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser i denne procedure, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenens interesser og interesserne blandt brugerne af den pågældende vare.
The analysis of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved in this proceeding, including those of the Union industry and users of the product concerned.
Følgerne af ikke at træffe foranstaltninger blev også taget i betragtning på grundlag af de indsendte oplysninger.
The consequences of not taking measures were also considered on the basis of the evidence submitted.
Ovennævnte undersøgelse viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenen påførtes væsentlig skade på grund af dumpingimporten fra Kasakhstan, som underbød erhvervsgrenens priser betydeligt.
The above analysis showed that the Union industry suffered material injury caused by the dumped imports from Kazakhstan which significantly undercut its prices on the Union market.
Hovedparten af skadesindikatorerne udviste en negativ tendens i den betragtede periode.
The majority of the injury indicators showed a negative trend during the period considered.
EU-erhvervsgrenen havde store tab af markedsandele, og skadesindikatorerne vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation, såsom likviditet, investeringsafkast og rentabilitet, blev alvorligt påvirket.
The Union industry lost significant market share and injury indicators relating to the financial performance of the Union industry, such as cash flow, return on investments and profitability, were seriously affected.
Efter UP fortsatte den nedadgående tendens og førte til, at EU-erhvervsgrenen indgav konkursbegæring.
After the IP, the downward trend continued and led the Union industry to file for bankrutcy.
Der pågår forhandlinger om en mulig overtagelse med henblik på at genstarte produktionen af hvidt fosfor inden længe.
Negotiations are ongoing for a potential takeover aiming at resuming production in the short term.
Hvidt fosfor er en vigtig råvare, der verden over anvendes til mange anvendelsesformål som f.eks. lægemidler og landbrugskemikalier, fremstilling af fosforsyre og derivater heraf, som anvendes til fødevarer og vaskemidler, og fremstilling af fosforlegeringer, som kan anvendes i metallurgien.
White phosphorus is an important raw material worldwide used in numerous applications such as pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals, manufacture of phosphoric acid and its derivatives that are used for food and detergents, and manufacture of phosphor alloys that can be used in metallurgy.
Da hvidt fosfor produceres af et begrænset antal producenter i andre tredjelande, og da det er en råvare til mange varer i de efterfølgende produktionsled i Unionen, konkluderes det derfor, at det er i Unionens interesse at opretholde produktionskapacitet i Unionen.
Given that white phosphorus is produced by a limited number of producers in other third countries and that it is a raw material for many downstream products produced in the Union, it was therefore considered that it is in the Union interest to have production capacity within the Union.
Det forventes, at indførelsen af en antidumpingtold vil rette op på den illoyale handelspraksis, der blev konstateret, og give EU-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at forbedre udsigterne for levedygtigheden.
It is expected that the imposition of anti-dumping duties will redress the unfair trade practice found and allow the Union industry to improve its prospects for viability.
Indførelsen af foranstaltninger ville desuden give EU-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at skabe bedre stordriftsfordele ved at øge sit salg og genvinde i hvert fald en del af de markedsandele, der tabtes i den betragtede periode, med en positiv indvirkning på fremtidsudsigterne.
Moreover, the imposition of measures would enable the Union industry to improve economies of scale by selling increased volumes and regaining at least part of the market share lost during the period considered, with a positive impact on its prospects.
Det skal i den forbindelse erindres, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har produceret og solgt hvidt fosfor siden 1970'erne, selv om den stod over for konkurrence fra importerede varer fra tredjelande, der desuden havde en naturlig fordel i form af adgang til råvarer.
In this respect, it should be recalled that the Union industry has been producing and selling white phosphorus since the 1970s, despite having faced competition from third country imports that also had natural advantages in terms of access to raw material.
En række interesserede parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke kan betragtes som en værdifuld leverandør, på grund af dens nuværende situation (konkurs) og i betragtning af, at EU-erhvervsgrenen under alle omstændigheder optræder som konkurrent til sine kunder, der køber hvidt fosfor på markedet for derivater.
Several interested parties claimed that the Union industry cannot be considered as a valuable supplier, given its current situation (bankruptcy) and given that, in any event, the Union industry acts as a competitor to its customers of white phosphorus in the derivatives market.
Som svar på denne påstand skal det bemærkes, at EU-erhvervsgrenens aktuelle situation ikke nødvendigvis medfører et permanent stop, idet der stadig pågår forhandlinger om en overtagelse med henblik på at genoptage produktionen af hvidt fosfor.
In reply to this claim, it should be noted that the current situation of the Union industry does not necessarily imply a permanent prodution stop as negotiations for a takeover aiming at resuming production of white phosphorus are still ongoing.
Desuden fremgik det af undersøgelsen, at EU-erhvervsgrenen er afhængig af salget på det frie marked for at forbedre sine stordriftsfordele og forblive levedygtig.
Moreover, the investigation established that the Union industry depends on sales in the free market in order to improve its economies of scale and stay viable.
Ud fra ovenstående blev det konkluderet, at EU-erhvervsgrenen kan være en værdifuld leverandør af hvidt fosfor til det frie marked i Unionen.
For all these reasons it was concluded that the Union industry can be a valuable supplier of white phosphorus to the Union’s free market.
Desuden har EU-erhvervsgrenen søgt at udvikle alternative kilder til råvarer og investeret i en ny teknologi, den såkaldte »vugge til vugge-metode« (cradle-to-cradle) for at genbruge hvidt fosfor.
In addition, the Union industry has sought to develop alternative raw material sources and made some investments in a new technology, the so-called ‘cradle-to-cradle-approach’ to recycle white phosphorus.
Selv om denne metode stadig er på udviklingsstadiet, kan den blive et vigtigt element i bestræbelserne på at sikre EU-erhvervsgrenens levedygtighed på lang sigt.
While this method is still in its formative stages, it could be one important element in ensuring the Union industry’s viability in the long term.
Hvis arbejdet lykkes, vil det give EU-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at få fordel af en ny kilde til råvarer på EU-markedet og reducere den mulige overafhængighed af importen af råfosfat.
If successful this would allow the Union industry to benefit from a new secondary raw material source within the Union market and to reduce possible over-dependence on imports of phosphate rocks.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysningsdokumentet rejste en række interesserede parter tvivl om, hvorvidt det var relevant at medtage udviklingen af ny teknologi i analysen af Unionens interesser.
Following the disclosure of the information document, several interested parties questioned the relevance of the development of new technology in the Union interest analysis.
Parterne betvivlede EU-erhvervsgrenens ophør, hvis der ikke indføres antidumpingforanstaltninger, og påstod således, at investeringerne i denne teknologi derfor sandsynligvis ville fortsætte.
These parties questioned the disappearance of the Union industry should anti-dumping measures not be imposed and argued that therefore investments in this technology would likely continue.
De påstod endvidere, at vugge til vugge-initiativet ikke er unikt, og at en række andre virksomheder i Unionen investerer i alternative genbrugsteknologier for fosfat, som angiveligt allerede er mere bæredygtige.
They also claimed that the cradle-to-cradle initatitive is not unique and several other companies in the Union are investing in alternative recycling technologies for phosphate which are allegedly economically more viable.
Endelig blev det påstået, at vugge til vugge-teknologien hovedsagelig vil være en fordel for EU-erhvervsgrenens bundne marked, hvorfor brugerne ikke vil få fordel heraf.
Finally, it was alleged that the cradle-to-cradle technology would mainly serve the Union industry’s captive market and therefore users would not benefit therefrom.
Det skal bemærkes, at udviklingerne efter UP (konkurs) tilsyneladende ikke underbygger ovenstående påstande.
It should be noted that the developments after the IP (bankruptcy) does not seem to support the above allegations.
Det skal desuden bemærkes, at vugge til vugge-metoden, selv om den ikke er unik, stadig er et vigtigt element til at gøre Unionen mindre afhængig af import af primære råstoffer og indirekte af importen af hvidt fosfor fra tredjelande, hvilket vil være til fordel for alle brugere, hvis det lykkes.
It should be noted further that the cradle-to-cradle approach even if not unique, remains an important element to reduce the Union’s dependency on imports of primary raw material and indirectly of imports of white phosphorus from third countries, to the benefit of all users, if successful.
Der er sluttelig ingen beviser i dokumentationen, af hvilke det kan konkluderes, at vugge til vugge-metoden ikke er økonomisk mulig.
There is finally no evidence in the file from which it could have been concluded that the cradle-to-cradle approach would be economically not feasible.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, vil EU-erhvervsgrenens overlevelsesmuligheder på det frie marked derimod blive mere tvivlsomme, og erhvervsgrenen vil sandsynligvis blive tvunget til at indstille produktionen permanent.
On the other hand, should measures not be imposed, the viability prospects of the Union industry in the free market would become much more challenging and it would very likely be forced to close down production permanently.
Konsekvensen ville sandsynligvis blive indstilling af EU-erhvervsgrenens produktion til det frie marked.
The likely consequence would be the discontinuation of the Union industry’s production for the free market.
Dette vil betyde, at Unionen bliver helt afhængig af import fra tredjelande fra et begrænset antal producenter af hvidt fosfor, som er grundlaget for en række anvendelser i efterfølgende produktionsled i Unionen.
This would entail that the Union would become entirely dependent on third country imports from a limited number of producers of white phosphorus, which is the basis for numerous downstream applications produced in the Union.
Dumpingimportens indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens bundne marked blev også taget i betragtning.
The effect of the dumped imports on the captive market of the Union industry was also considered.
Undersøgelsen viste, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil genoprette den konkurrencemæssige ulempe, som skyldes dumpingimporten på markedet for efterfølgende produktionsled.
The investigation indicated that the imposition of measures would redress the competitive disadvantage caused by the dumped imports in the downstream market.
Hvis der på den anden side ikke indføres foranstaltninger, og EU-erhvervsgrenen må indstille produktionen permanent, forventes EU-erhvervsgrenen at få vanskeligt ved at skaffe de store mængder af hvidt fosfor, som er nødvendige til at fremstille varerne i de efterfølgende produktionsled.
On the other hand, if no measures were imposed and the Union industry had to cease production permanently, the Union industry is expected to face difficulties in respect of procuring the large amount of white phosphorus needed for the production of its downstream products.
En række parter påstod, at analysen af EU-erhvervsgrenens interesser kun skulle omfatte salget på det frie marked.
Several interested parties claimed that the analysis of the interest for the Union industry should only relate to the sales in the free market.
Som svar på denne påstand skal det, jf. betragtning 53, bemærkes, at EU-erhvervsgrenen er vertikalt integreret, og en væsentlig del af dens produktion er ganske rigtigt bestemt til erhvervsgrenens egne bundne anvendelse.
In reply to this claim it should be noted that as described in recital 53 the Union industry is vertically integrated and a substantial part of its production is indeed used in its own captive use.
Salgsmængden til fri og bunden anvendelse er dog ikke en stabil parameter, og den seneste udvikling har vist, at den bundne anvendelse ikke er bæredygtig i sig selv uden det frie salg af hvidt fosfor.
However, the proportion of the sales in free and captive use is not a stable parameter and the recent developments have proven that the captive use may not be sustained by itself without the free sales of white phosphorus.
Ud fra ovenstående blev det konkluderet, at indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger over for importen af den pågældende vare med oprindelse i Kasakhstan vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse.
In view of the above considerations, it was concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures on imports of the product concerned originating in Kazakhstan would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Efter indledningsmeddelelsen gav mere end 30 parter sig til kende og erklærede deres interesse i proceduren.
Following the notice of initiation, over thirty parties made themselves known and declared their interest in the proceeding.
Undersøgelsen viste, at de parter, der gav sig til kende, overvejende var brugere; nogle af dem importerede selv den pågældende vare.
The investigation revealed that the parties who made themselves known were mainly users; some of them importing the product concerned themselves.
11 virksomheder betegnede sig selv som brugere og udfyldte spørgeskemaet.
Eleven companies classified themselves as users and filled in questionnaires.
Disse virksomheder tegnede sig for den overvejende del af importen af den pågældende vare i UP og for en væsentlig procentdel af det samlede EU-forbrug.
These companies accounted for the vast majority of the imports of the product concerned during the IP and for a significant percentage of total Union consumption.
Disse brugere tegnede sig næsten for den samlede vifte af varer i de efterfølgende produktionsled.
These users represented almost the complete range of downstream products.
De udgør derfor en repræsentativ gruppe, for hvilken virkningerne af de indførte foranstaltninger over for importen af den pågældende vare kunne analyseres i forhold til deres aktiviteter med de færdige varer, som indeholder den pågældende vare.
Therefore, they constitute a representative group upon which the impact of measures imposed on imports of the product concerned could be assessed in relation to their business of finished products incorporating the product concerned.
De resterende virksomheder var brugere, som enten brugte den pågældende vare direkte eller brugte varer i de efterfølgende produktionsled, hvor den pågældende vare indgår som et vigtigt element.
The remaining companies were users either directly using the product concerned or using downstream products in which the product concerned is an important component.
Da brugere hovedsagelig producerer varer eller mellemprodukter, hvori den pågældende vare indgår, og efterfølgende omdannes til færdige varer i de efterfølgende produktionsled af andre brugere, blev det fundet hensigtsmæssigt at give alle virksomheder, der gav sig til kende, mulighed for at fremsætte deres synspunkter og fremlægge oplysninger, selv om de ikke var direkte brugere.
As users are mainly producing commodity or intermediate products using the product concerned that is then further transformed into finished downstream products by other users, it was considered appropriate to give all companies which made themselves known the opportunity to present their views and submit information, even if they were not direct users.
Virkningen på brugerne
Impact on users
Brugerne af den pågældende vare kan grundlæggende opdeles i to segmenter: syreholdige derivater (især produktionen af fosforsyre) og ikkesyreholdige derivater (fosforpentasulfid, fosfortrichlorid, rødt fosfor, flammehæmmere).
Essentially, the users of the product concerned can be divided into two segments: acid derivatives (notably the production of phosphoric acid) and non-acid derivatives (such as phosphorus pentasulfide, phosphorus trichloride, red phosphorus, flame retardants).
Desuden blev der taget hensyn til brugere i de efterfølgende produktionsled.
In addition the downstream users were also considered.
Segmentet for syreholdige derivater
Acid derivatives segment
Segmentet for syreholdige derivater omfatter hovedsagelig produktionen af termisk fosforsyre og derivater heraf i tilsætningsstoffer til fødevarer.
The acid derivatives segment deals mainly with the production of thermal phosphoric acid and its derivatives in food additives.
Den pågældende vare udgør en stor andel af de færdige varer i dette segment i forhold til den samlede omsætning.
The share of the product concerned in the finished products of this segment is high in relation to overall turnover.
Omkostningerne til den pågældende vare i forhold til omkostningerne til de færdige varer blev fundet betydelige.
In addition, the cost of the product concerned in relation to the cost of the finished products was found to be significant.
Dette skyldes, at disse brugeres produktionsproces forudsætter begrænsede materialer bortset fra den vigtigste råvare, nemlig hvidt fosfor.
This is due to the fact that the production process of these users requires limited additional input apart from the main raw material, which is white phosphorus.
Ud fra ovenstående kan det forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil få en væsentlig indvirkning på brugerne i dette segment.
Considering the above, it could be expected that the imposition of measures would have a substantial impact on the users in this segment.
Selv om undersøgelsen har vist, at brugerne i dette segment havde en høj fortjeneste i UP, varierede deres rentabilitet betydeligt mellem 2008 og UP og var meget lavere end i årene før UP.
Although the investigation has shown that users in this segment enjoyed high level profits during the IP, their profitability varied considerably between 2008 and the IP, reaching much lower levels in years prior to the IP.
Det blev endvidere påstået, at en eventuel told ikke kan væltes over på deres kunder.
Furthermore, it was claimed that any duty cannot be passed on to their customers.
Ud fra ovenstående forventes det, at en antidumpingtold ganske rigtigt kan få en væsentlig indvirkning på brugernes rentabilitet i segmentet for syreholdige derivater, hvilket igen vil kunne føre til tab og i sidste ende true deres eksistens.
In view of the above, it is expected that an anti-dumping duty could indeed have a significant effect on the profitability of users in the acid derivate segment which could turn even into losses and ultimately threaten their existence.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysningsdokumentet påstod en bruger, at den vare, der produceres af EU-erhvervsgrenen, er af større renhed end den vare, der normalt anvendes i segmentet for syreholdige derivater.
Following the disclosure of the information document, one user claimed that the product produced by the Union industry is of a higher purity than the product normally used in the acid derivatives segment.
Den pågældende vare importeret fra Kasakhstan var af lavere renhed og bedre egnet til brug i segmentet for syreholdige derivater.
The product concerned imported from Kazakhstan was of a lesser purity and more apt for the use in the acid derivatives segment.
EU-erhvervsgrenen blev derfor ikke betragtet som en alternativ leverandør i dette segment.
Therefore, the Union industry was not considered as an alternative supplier in this segment.
Denne påstand blev fremsat på et meget sent tidspunkt i proceduren.
This argument was only put forward at a very late stage of the proceeding.
Den pågældende part fremlagde ingen dokumentation for sine påstande.
The party concerned did not support the above allegations with any evidence.
Parterne anfægtede desuden ikke konklusionerne i betragtning 13-17 om, at hvidt fosfor fremstillet og solgt i Unionen af EU-erhvervsgrenen og hvidt fosfor fremstillet i det pågældende land og eksporteret til Unionen havde de samme grundlæggende fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber og anvendelsesformål.
Furthermore, they did not contest that, as concluded above in recitals 13 to 17, white phosphorus produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry and the white phosphorus produced in the country concerned and exported to the Union had the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and uses.
Segmentet for ikkesyreholdige derivater
Non-acid derivatives segment
