Men undersøgelsen viste, at situationen på EU-markedet fra 2010, da den kraftige stigning i lavprisimporten fandt sted, ikke gav EU-producenterne mulighed for at nå op på et aktivitets- og prisniveau, der var tilstrækkeligt til at udvide og opretholde de betydelige investeringer, der blev gjort i den betragtede periode.
Nevertheless, the investigation showed that the situation in the Union market, as from 2010 when the surge of low-priced imports occurred, did not allow Union producers to reach a sufficient activity and price level in order to develop and to sustain the important investments made in the period considered.
Det kunne konstateres, at lavprisimporten konstant underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
It was found that the low-priced imports constantly undercut the prices of the Union industry.
På grund af prisniveauet kunne erhvervsgrenen ikke dække sine omkostninger og tilvejebringe den likviditet og den fortjeneste, der skulle til for at udvikle aktiviteterne.
The level of prices did not allow that industry to cover its costs and realise the cash flow and profits, which are necessary to develop the activities.
Skadesindikatorerne vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle resultater, f.eks. rentabilitet, likviditet og investeringsafkast, forringedes eller forblev langt under det normale niveau.
Indeed, the injury indicators related to the financial performance of the Union industry, such as profitability, cash flow and return on investment deteriorated or remained far below the normal level.
Det påvirkede i alvorlig grad EU-erhvervsgrenens evne til at rejse kapital og foretage yderligere investeringer i sine aktiviteter.
This seriously affected the Union industry’s ability to raise capital and to further invest in its activities.
I lyset af ovenstående blev det konkluderet, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade i UP, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
In the light of the foregoing, it was considered that the Union industry suffered material injury during the IP within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5 og 6, blev det undersøgt, om dumpingimporten af den pågældende vare med oprindelse i det pågældende land havde forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen skade;
In accordance with Article 3(5) and (6) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, it was examined whether the dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the country concerned caused injury to the Union industry;
andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, som samtidig kunne forvolde EU-erhvervsgrenen skade, blev også undersøgt for at sikre, at eventuel skade, der kan tilskrives disse faktorer, ikke blev tillagt dumpingimporten.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time be injuring the Union industry, were also examined to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Som omhandlet ovenfor voksede EU-forbruget væsentligt med 29,2 % i den betragtede periode.
As mentioned above, Union consumption grew substantially during the period considered, by 29,2 %.
Dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land steg imidlertid betydeligt i mængde, dvs. fra en andel på 1,9 % af EU-markedet ved begyndelsen af den betragtede periode til 15,7 % i UP.
However, the dumped imports from the country concerned significantly increased in volume, i.e. from 1,9 % share of the Union market at the beginning of the period considered to 15,7 % during the IP.
Det medførte klart et pres på EU-erhvervsgrenen især fra 2010 til slutningen af UP, da denne import mere end fordobledes.
This clearly exerted pressure on the Union industry, particularly from 2010 until the end of the IP, when these imports more than doubled.
Fra 2010 og især i UP befandt der sig store mængder lavprisimport fra USA på EU-markedet, som underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
From 2010, and in particular during the IP, large volumes of low-priced imports from the USA were present on the Union market and were undercutting the prices of the Union industry.
Denne situation forhindrede erhvervsgrenen i at udvikle sig i UP som forventet.
This situation did not allow the industry to develop as expected during the IP.
Nogle parter har indvendt, at EU-erhvervsgrenens situation forbedredes netop fra 2010 til UP, og at den var sammenfaldende med fordoblingen af importen fra USA.
Some parties have argued that the situation of the Union industry improved precisely from 2010 to the IP, coinciding with the doubling of imports from the USA.
Som anført i betragtning 102 og 107 førte det forhold, at mange EU-producenter begyndte at komme ind på markedet i den betragtede periode, til positive tendenser inden for visse skadesfaktorer, f.eks. produktion og salgsmængde.
As explained above in recitals 102 and 107, the fact that many Union producers started to enter the market during the period considered led to positive trends in certain injury factors, such as production and sales volume.
EU-erhvervsgrenen mistede imidlertid markedsandel i UP sammenlignet med 2010, mens EU-markedet samtidig oplevede den største stigning i dumpingimporten fra USA.
However, the Union industry lost market share in the IP compared to 2010 while at the same time the Union market experienced the highest increase of US dumped imports.
Eksistensen af prisunderbud og pristryk førte til forværringen af EU-erhvervsgrenens overordnede finansielle situation, især med hensyn til rentabiliteten.
The existence of price undercutting and price pressure led to the deterioration of the general financial situation, in particular the profitability, of the Union industry.
Lavprisimporten har således spillet en betydelig rolle i forbindelse med den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt i UP.
The low-priced imports thus have played a significant role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Andre kendte faktorer end dumpingimporten, som kan have forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen skade, blev undersøgt for at sikre, at eventuel skade, der kan tilskrives disse faktorer, ikke blev tillagt dumpingimporten:
The following known factors, other than the dumped imports, which might have injured the Union industry, were examined to ensure that any injury caused by those factors was not attributed to the dumped imports:
importen fra andre lande, EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater, virkningen af den økonomiske krise og andre faktorer, som f.eks. udsving i råmaterialepriserne, efterspørgslens udvikling og de påståede interne problemer hos virksomhederne i EU-erhvervsgrenen.
the imports from other countries, the export performance of the Union industry, the impact of the economic crisis and other factors such as the raw material prices fluctuations, development of demand and alleged internal problems of companies in the Union industry.
Import fra andre lande (Brasilien)
Imports from other countries (Brazil)
Ifølge tilgængelige oplysninger var der bortset fra Brasilien ikke andre lande, der eksporterede den pågældende vare til Unionen i betydelige mængder i den betragtede periode.
According to the information available, apart from Brazil, there was no other country exporting the product concerned to the Union in significant quantities in the period considered.
Med hensyn til priser er de brasilianske importpriser forblevet et godt stykke under EU-producenternes priser.
In terms of prices, Brazilian import prices have remained well below those of the Union producers’.
Dog har importen fra Brasilien klart vist en faldende tendens i mængde (-81 %) og markedsandel (-25,8 %) i den betragtede periode.
However, imports from Brazil, clearly showed a decreasing trend in volume (– 81 %), and market share (– 25,8 %) during the period considered.
Da importmængden blev reduceret til et så lavt niveau i UP, kan den følgelig ikke anses for at have brudt årsagssammenhængen mellem lavprisimport fra USA og skaden for EU-erhvervsgrenen i UP.
In consequence, since the import volumes were reduced to such a low level during the IP, they cannot be considered to have broken the causal link between the low-priced imports from the USA and the injury of the Union industry during the IP.

En række parter hævdede, at importen fra Brasilien lå over bagatelgrænsen i hele den betragtede periode, og at den fandt sted til dumpingpriser på EU-markedet.
Parties claimed that imports from Brazil remained above the de minimis level throughout the period considered, and that they were made at dumped prices on the Union market.
De fremførte desuden, at importen fra USA kun erstattede den markedsandel, som var til overs efter den brasilianske import.
They further argued that imports from the USA, only replaced the market share left by the Brazilian imports.
Importen fra USA kan derfor ikke påstås at være årsagen til EU-erhvervsgrenens væsentlige skade.
The imports from the USA can therefore allegedly not be considered to be the cause of the material injury of the Union industry.
Som forklaret ovenfor faldt den brasilianske import betydeligt i den betragtede periode.
As explained above, Brazilian imports decreased significantly in the period considered.
Markedsandelen faldt fra 30,3 % til 4,5 % på et tidspunkt, hvor forbruget steg betydeligt.
Their market share decreased from 30,3 % to 4,5 % at a time when consumption significantly increased.
I betragtning af de brasilianske eksportørers prisniveau på EU-markedet kan det ikke udelukkes, at tilstedeværelsen af brasiliansk bioethanol i en vis grad bidrog til EU-erhvervsgrenens skade.
Given the price level practiced by Brazilian exporters in the Union market, it cannot be excluded that the presence of Brazilian bioethanol contributed to some extent to the injury of the Union industry.
Det er imidlertid opfattelsen, at denne import blev reduceret til et sådant niveau i UP, at den ikke kan anses for at være en væsentlig årsag til denne skade.
However, it is considered that these imports were reduced to such a level during the IP that they cannot be regarded as a major cause of that injury.
Faktisk steg dumpingimporten fra USA mere end 330000 ton i perioden mellem 2010 og UP, hvorimod importen fra Brasilien faldt med ca. 200000 ton.
Indeed, in period between 2010 and the IP, whilst imports from Brazil decrease by about 200000 tonnes, the dumped imports from the USA increased by over 330000 tonnes.
Det er således opfattelsen, at tilstedeværelsen af brasiliansk bioethanol på EU-markedet, især i UP, ikke er af en sådan beskaffenhed, at den bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra USA og den skadevoldende situation for EU-erhvervsgrenen i den periode.
It is thus considered that the presence of the Brazilian bioethanol in the Union market, in particular during the IP, cannot be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the USA and the injurious situation of the Union industry in that period.

Det fremgik af undersøgelsen, at mindre mængder af bioethanol blev eksporteret af EU-erhvervsgrenen i UP til priser, der stort set lå over EU-markedets priser.
The investigation showed that small volumes of bioethanol were exported by the Union industry during the IP at prices largely above those practiced on the Union market.
Derfor konkluderedes det, at eksportresultatet ikke er en faktor, som har brudt årsagssammenhængen mellem den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, og dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land.
This has led to the conclusion that the export performance is not a factor that broke the causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from the country concerned.
Det blev ikke konstateret, at den økonomiske krise havde haft en negativ virkning på EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The economic crisis was not found to have had a negative impact on the Union industry.
Forbruget af bioethanol i Unionen oplevede sin største stigning i 2009, det år som generelt opfattes som det værste år i den økonomiske krise.
Consumption of bioethanol in the Union experienced its biggest increase in 2009, the year generally considered to be the worst year of the economic crisis.
I samme periode steg også EU-producenternes produktion og salg.
In the same period, production and sales by Union producers also increased.
Ud fra ovenstående er det opfattelsen, at den økonomiske krise ikke har brudt årsagssammenhængen mellem lavprisimporten fra det pågældende land og den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenens har lidt.
Based on the above, it is considered that the economic crisis did not break the causal link between the low-priced imports from the country concerned and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Parterne har også nævnt andre faktorer, som kunne have brudt årsagssammenhængen som f.eks. udsving i råmaterialepriserne, efterspørgslens udvikling, som var lavere end ventet, lovgivningsrammer i Unionen, som angiveligt er til ulempe for EU-producenterne, og visse påståede interne problemer hos EU-producenterne.
Parties have also mentioned other factors that could have broken the causal link such as the fluctuation of the raw material prices, the development of demand which was lower than expected, a regulatory framework in the Union that allegedly plays against Union producers and certain alleged internal problems of Union producers.
Med hensyn til udsving i råmaterialepriserne blev det konstateret, at både priserne på majs og hvede var volatile i den betragtede periode.
Regarding the fluctuations in the raw material prices, both prices of corn and wheat were found to be volatile during the period considered.
Det fremgik af undersøgelsen, at de fleste producenter imidlertid sikrer sig mod denne risiko gennem en særlig prisfastsættelsesmekanisme med deres leverandører eller via finansmarkederne.
The investigation showed that most producers however hedge this risk through a specific price setting mechanism with their suppliers or through the financial markets.
Deraf følger, at råmaterialepriserne i anden halvdel af UP var mere eller mindre identiske, selv om disse priser var forskellige især fra 2008 til 2010, da prisen på majs var lavere end prisen på hvede.
Hence even if prices of feedstock did differ in particular from 2008 until 2010, when the price for corn was lower than the price of wheat, feedstock prices in the second half of the IP were more or less the same.
Det viser, at prisforskelle reduceres til et minimum, og at de ikke er af varig art.
This indicates that any price difference is reduced to a minimum and is not of a lasting nature.
Nogle parter har hævdet, at gennemførelsen af direktivet om vedvarende energi i medlemsstaterne har været for langsom, og at forbruget sakkede agterud i forhold til de mål, som nævnte direktiv havde fastsat.
Some parties have claimed that the implementation of the RED in Member States has been too slow and that consumption lagged behind the targets established by the mentioned Directive.
Men selv om de oprindelige mål ikke blev nået fuldt ud i den betragtede periode, er det en positiv faktor, at forbruget er vokset betydeligt, nemlig med 29,2 % i den periode, og det kan ikke tilsidesættes i analysen.
But, even if initial targets were not fully met within the period considered the fact that consumption has grown significantly, namely by 29,2 %, in that period is a positive factor that cannot be ignored in the analysis.
Under alle omstændigheder kan den påståede langsomme gennemførelse af direktivet om vedvarende energi ikke berettige tilstedeværelsen af de store mængder lavprisdumpingimport på EU-markedet, som underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser og forvoldte skade for denne erhvervsgren.
In any event, the alleged slow implementation of the RED cannot justify the presence of high volumes of low-priced dumped imports in the Union market undercutting the prices of the Union industry and causing injury to that industry.
Derfor afvises denne påstand.
Hence, the claim is rejected.
Parterne har også fremført, at EU-erhvervsgrenen alene ikke kunne efterkomme EU's efterspørgsel som følge af en lovgivningsmæssig usikkerhed, og at certificeringssystemet er meget langsomt og dermed undergraver de fordele, der findes for de certificerede EU-producenter.
Parties have also argued that the Union industry alone could not meet Union demand as a result of regulatory uncertainty and that the system of certification is very slow and thus undermine the benefits for the certified Union producers.
Nogle parter har endelig fremført, at det forhold, at mange EU-producenter havde interne problemer i den betragtede periode, forklarer enhver skade, de led.
Some parties have finally argued that the fact that many Union producers suffered internal problems during the period considered explains any injury they suffered.
Disse påstande var imidlertid ikke dokumenteret, og undersøgelsen bekræftede ikke, at disse påstande var rigtige.
These claims were however not substantiated and the investigation did not confirm that these claims were founded.
Følgelig er de ovennævnte udokumenterede påstande ikke af en sådan beskaffenhed, at de bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skadevoldende situation for EU-erhvervsgrenen i UP.
Hence, the above unsubstantiated claims are not such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of the Union industry during the IP.
Det konkluderes således, at alle de ovennævnte faktorer ikke kunne bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen led, og dumpingimporten fra USA.
It is thus concluded that all the above factors could not break the causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from the USA.
Parterne nævner til sidst, at en betragtelig mængde import blev angivet under KN-kode 3824 i UP, hvilket medførte en lav told.
Parties finally mention the fact that during the IP, a considerable number of imports were declared under CN heading 3824, attracting a low customs duty.
Efter udgangen af UP blev denne told sat op.
After the end of the IP, the level of the respective customs duty was raised.
Parterne er af den opfattelse, at skaden forvoldtes af den lave told og ikke af dumpingen.
They consider that the injury was caused by the low customs duty, and not by dumping.
I den forbindelse skal det tilføjes, at tolden kan ændre sig til enhver tid, og denne påstand kan derfor ikke sætte spørgsmål ved, om der opstod skade i undersøgelsesperioden.
In this regard, it suffices to say that customs duties may change at any time, and that this argument therefore cannot put into question the presence of injury during the investigation period.
Ovenstående analyse har vist, at der i den betragtede periode var en kraftig stigning i mængder og markedsandele for importen fra det pågældende land til lave priser.
The above analysis demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the low-priced imports originating in the country concerned over the period considered.
Dertil kommer, at det blev konstateret, at priserne på denne import underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser på EU-markedet.
In addition, it was found that the prices of these imports were below the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market.
Denne stigning i mængde og markedsandel i forbindelse med lavprisimporten fra det pågældende land faldt sammen med en generel og løbende stigning i forbruget i Unionen og også med negative resultater hos EU-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced imports from the country concerned coincided with an overall and continuous increase of consumption in the Union and also with negative results of the Union industry during the period considered.
Eksportørerne fra det pågældende land havde held til at øge deres markedsandel ved systematisk at underbyde EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
The exporters from the country concerned managed to increase their market share by systematically undercutting Union industry’s prices.
Samtidig var EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke i stand til at nå bæredygtige og positive rentabilitetsniveauer til trods for deres aktivitetsforøgelse.
At the same time, the Union industry was not able to reach sustained positive levels of profitability despite its increase in activity.
Undersøgelsen af de andre kendte faktorer, som kunne have forårsaget skade for EU-erhvervsgrenen, afslørede, at disse faktorer ikke synes at være af en sådan beskaffenhed, at de bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry revealed that these factors do not appear to be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the country concerned and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående analyse, hvor der blev behørigt skelnet mellem virkningerne af alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, konkluderedes det, at dumpingimporten fra USA har forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
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 concluded that the dumped imports from the USA have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21 blev det undersøgt, om der til trods for konklusionen om skadevoldende dumping fra det pågældende land var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke var i Unionens interesse at indføre foreløbige antidumpingforanstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether, despite the conclusion on injury caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade som følge af dumpingimporten fra USA.
The investigation has shown that the Union industry suffered material injury caused by the dumped imports from the USA.
Uden foranstaltninger til afhjælpning af de handelsforvridende virkninger af denne import forekommer en yderligere forringelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation særdeles sandsynlig.
In the absence of measures to correct the trade distorting effects of these imports, a further deterioration in the Union industry’s economic situation appears to be very likely.
Det forventes, at indførelsen af antidumpingtold vil genoprette effektive handelsvilkår på EU-markedet, således at EU-erhvervsgrenens priser kan afspejle produktionsomkostningerne.
It is expected that the imposition of anti-dumping duties will restore effective trade conditions on the Union market, allowing the Union industry’s prices to reflect its cost of production.
Det kan forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger også vil betyde, at EU-erhvervsgrenen kan øge salgsmængden og således genvinde den markedsandel, der blev tabt på grund af dumpingimporten.
It can be expected that the imposition of measures would also enable the Union industry to increase sales volume and thus gain the market share lost due to the presence of dumped imports.
