Selv om årsagen til faldet i efterspørgslen ikke er af direkte relevans for analysen af årsagssammenhæng, kan det meget vel tænkes, at det i det mindste delvist blev forvoldt af den finansielle og økonomiske krise.
Although the reason for the contraction in demand is not directly relevant for causation analysis, it may well be that it was caused, at least in part, by the financial and economic crisis.
Det kan derfor hævdes, at den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, skyldes den økonomiske krise og det deraf følgende fald i efterspørgslen.
Consequently, it could be argued that the injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the economic crisis and the resulting decline in demand.
Det skal også bemærkes, at Solae Belgium i sin årlige rapport fra 2009 erkender, at faldende indtægter fra finansielle aktiver som følge af den finansielle krise har haft en negativ indvirkning på virksomhedens økonomiske situation.
It is also noted that Solae Belgium recognises in its annual report from 2009 that lower income from financial assets caused by the financial crisis have had a negative impact on the company’s financial situation.
Det gentages desuden, at EU-erhvervsgrenen forbedrede sin økonomiske situation mellem 2009 og UP.
It is also reiterated that the Union industry improved its economic situation between 2009 and the IP.
Denne udvikling falder helt tydeligt sammen med den generelle økonomiske genrejsning.
This improvement clearly coincides with the general economic recovery.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderes det, at faldet i efterspørgslen, som formodentlig til dels skyldes den økonomiske krise, var en væsentlig årsag til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen måtte have lidt.
Given the above, it is considered that the contraction in demand, probably partly caused by the economic crisis, was a major cause of any injury suffered by the Union industry.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede klageren, at den finansielle og økonomiske krise ikke forårsagede skaden, men fremlagde ingen overbevisende argumenter i denne henseende og henviste blot til en række andre sager [17], hvor resultaterne var anderledes.
Following the final disclosure, the complainant claimed that the financial and economic crises did not cause the injury, but did not provide any convincing argument in this regard and simply referred to a number of other cases [17] where the findings were different.
Det skal i den forbindelse gentages, at hver enkelt sag skal vurderes individuelt.
In this regard, it is reiterated that each case has to be judged on its own merits.
I dette tilfælde er det en kendsgerning, at faldet i efterspørgslen, som formodentlig skyldtes den økonomiske krise, rent faktisk bidrog til forværringen af EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og også at der ikke kan findes nogen klar sammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten og EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
In this particular case the fact remains that while there is a lack of clear correlation between dumped imports and the situation of the Union industry, the contraction in demand, probably partly caused by the economic crisis, did contribute to the poor situation of the Union industry.
Dette blev som beskrevet ovenfor rent faktisk i et vist omfang eksplicit anerkendt i den årlige rapport fra Solae Belgium fra 2009.
In fact, at least to some extent, as explained above, this was explicitly recognised in the annual report of Solae Belgium of 2009.
Ikke desto mindre kan der peges på vigtige forskelle mellem de sager, som klageren henviser til, og den foreliggende sag.
Nevertheless, important differences can be noted between the cases referred to by the complainant and the present case.
En række af disse forskelle fremgår af de følgende betragtninger.
A number of those differences are listed in the following recitals.
Selv om der ganske vist var en positiv udvikling i visse indikatorer mellem 2009 og UP i oxalsyre-sagen [18], faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel, mens den i den foreliggende sag steg, således at den næsten nåede op på niveauet for 2007 [19].
In the Oxalic acid case [18], although some indicators indeed marked a positive development between 2009 and the IP, the market share of the Union industry decreased, whereas in the present case it increased almost to the level of 2007 [19].
I oxalsyre-sagen var der desuden ikke fravær af sammenhæng fra år til år mellem dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande og tendenserne i skadesindikatorerne, som det er tilfældet i den foreliggende sag.
Furthermore, the Oxalic acid case does not show a year-on-year absence of correlation between dumped imports from the countries concerned and the trends of the injury indicators, which is characteristic of the present case.
Rentabilitetstendenserne er også forskellige.
The profitability trends are also different.
Det skal navnlig bemærkes, at der er store udsving i rentabiliteten i den foreliggende sag.
Notably, in the present case the profitability fluctuates considerably.
Sluttelig er markedet meget volatilt i den foreliggende sag.
Finally, in the present case the market is highly volatile.
I sagen vedrørende åben mesh-stoffer af glasfibre [20] faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel hvert år og med 12 procentpoint samlet set [21].
In the Open mesh fabrics of glass fibres case [20], the market share of the Union industry decreased every year, and overall by 12 percentage points [21].
Samtidig steg markedsandelen for den kinesiske import konsekvent fra år til år og samlet set med 12,4 procentpoint [22].
At the same time the market share of Chinese imports consistently grew year on year, and overall by 12,4 percentage points [22].
I den foreliggende sag steg markedsandelen for den kinesiske import indtil 2009, hvorefter den faldt mellem 2009 og UP.
In the present case, the market share of Chinese imports increased up to 2009 in order to then decrease between 2009 and the IP.
Samtidig faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel allerede i 2008, hvorefter den igen næsten nåede op på niveauet for 2007.
At the same time, the Union industry’s market share decreased already in 2008 in order to then bounce back almost to the 2007 level.
I glasfiber-sagen [23] steg markedsandelen for dumpingimporten konsekvent fra år til år og samlet set med 6,3 procentpoint [24].
In the Glass fibres case [23] the market share of dumped imports consistently grew year on year, and overall by 6,3 percentage points [24].
I sagen vedrørende keramiske fliser [25] steg markedsandelen for dumpingimporten løbende [26].
In the Ceramic tiles case [25], the market share of the dumped imports was increasing steadily [26].
Desuden var udviklingen i lagrene meget anderledes.
Furthermore, the evolution of stocks was very different.
I sagen vedrørende keramiske fliser var stigningen i lagerbeholdningerne en afslørende skadesfaktor [27].
In the Ceramic tiles case the increase in stocks was a telling injury factor [27].
Sluttelig viste undersøgelsen i sagen vedrørende keramiske fliser, at på trods af genrejsningen i bygge- og anlægssektoren fortsatte indikatorerne for EU-erhvervsgrenen med at udvise en negativ tendens [28].
Finally, the investigation in the Ceramic tiles case showed that despite recovery in the construction sector, the indicators of the Union industry continued to show a downward trend [28].
I fedtalkohol-sagen [29] adskilte udviklingen i skadesindikatorerne mellem 2009 og UP sig sluttelig fra udviklingen i den foreliggende sag (f.eks. faldt beskæftigelsen) [30], og dumpingimportens mængde og markedsandel steg mellem 2009 og UP [31].
Finally, in the Fatty alcohol case [29], the development of the injury indicators between 2009 and the IP differed from the present case (e.g. employment decreased) [30], and the volume and market share of dumped imports increased between 2009 and the IP [31].
Derfor må klagerens påstand afvises.
Consequently, the claim of the complainant must be rejected.
Sojabønnemarkedets volatilitet
Volatility of the soy bean market
Det er blevet beskrevet ovenfor, at EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet svinger betydeligt, hvilket tyder på, at markedet er volatilt.
It has been shown above that the Union industry’s profitability oscillates significantly and indicates a volatile character of the market.
Denne volatilitet hænger tæt sammen med udsving på råvaremarkedet.
That volatility is closely linked with the fluctuations on the raw materials market.
Spotmarkedet for den vigtigste råvare — sojabønner — er traditionelt kendetegnet ved betydelige månedlige og årlige udsving [32], mens priserne for det endelige produkt — varer fremstillet af koncentreret sojaprotein — har tendens til at være ret stabile (da de er baseret på langsigtede kontrakter).
The spot market for the main raw material — soy beans — is traditionally characterised by significant monthly and annual fluctuations [32], while prices for the final product — CCSPP — tend to be rather stable (as they are based on longer term contracts).
Følgelig er rentabiliteten for den undersøgte vare stærkt afhængig af den fremherskende situation på sojabønnemarkedet.
Consequently, the level of profitability for the product under investigation is heavily dependent on the prevailing situation on the soy bean market.
I denne forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at der rent faktisk var en betydelig stigning i prisen på sojabønner i 2008, som havde væsentlig indvirkning på rentabiliteten og EU-erhvervsgrenens overordnede situation.
In this context it is noted that indeed there was a significant soy bean price hike in 2008 that had an important impact on the profitability and the overall situation of the Union industry.
Klageren har selv anerkendt, at stigningen i prisen på sojabønner bidrog til den dårlige situation i 2008.
The complainant itself recognised that the soy bean price hike did contribute to its poor situation in 2008.
På baggrund af ovenstående står det klart, at volatiliteten på sojabønnemarkedet også var en væsentlig årsag til den skade, som måtte være blevet påført EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Given the above, it is clear that the volatility of soy bean market also was a major cause of any injury suffered by the Union industry.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede klageren, at sojabønneprisernes volatilitet heller ikke kunne bryde årsagssammenhængen, og kun var relevant for tabene i 2008.
Following the final disclosure, the complainant claimed that the volatility of soy bean prices could not break the causal link either and was only relevant for the 2008 losses.
Der blev dog ikke fremlagt underbyggede beviser i denne forbindelse.
However, no substantiated evidence was presented in this respect.
Det skal bemærkes, at stigningen i sojabønnepriserne faldt sammen med EU-erhvervsgrenens dårlige finansielle resultater, og da høje sojabønnepriser blev anset for at være den vigtigste årsag til tabene i 2008, er der ingen særlige grunde til, at tabene i 2010, som faldt sammen med endnu en stigning i prisen på sojabønner, bør behandles anderledes.
It is noted that soy bean price hikes coincide with the poor financial performance of the Union industry and, given that high soy bean prices were considered to be the main cause of 2008 losses, there is no particular reason why the 2010 losses coinciding with another hike of the soy bean prices should be treated differently.
Andre faktorer, herunder navnlig faldet i efterspørgslen (som formodentlig delvist skyldes den økonomiske krise i 2008/2009) og det volatile marked for den vigtigste råvare, var betydningsfulde årsager til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen måtte have lidt.
Other factors, and in particular the contraction in demand (probably partly caused by the economic crisis of 2008/2009) and the volatile character of the main raw material market were important causes of any injury to the Union industry.
Selv under den antagelse at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, kan det dog ikke konkluderes, at en eventuel skade var forvoldt af dumpingimporten fra Kina, eftersom disse andre faktorer bryder årsagssammenhængen.
Therefore, even under the hypothesis that the Union industry suffered material injury, since those other factors break the causal link, it cannot be concluded that any injury was caused by the dumped imports from the PRC.
F. UNIONENS INTERESSER
F. UNION INTEREST
Da det blev konstateret, at EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke lider skade, der kan betegnes som væsentlig, og at andre faktorer under alle omstændigheder bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og skaden, er det ikke nødvendigt at undersøge Unionens interesser.
Since it was found above that the Union industry is not suffering injury that can be qualified as material, and that in any case other factors break the causal link between the dumped imports and that injury, it is not necessary to examine the Union interest.
G. AFSLUTNING AF PROCEDUREN
G. TERMINATION OF THE PROCEEDING
På baggrund af konklusionerne om, at EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke har lidt væsentlig skade, og fraværet af årsagssammenhæng bør proceduren afsluttes uden indførelse af foranstaltninger, jf. grundforordningens artikel 9.
In view of the conclusions reached with regard to lack of material injury suffered by the Union industry and with regard to the absence of causal link, in accordance with Article 9 of the basic Regulation, the proceeding should be terminated without the imposition of measures.
De berørte parter er blevet underrettet om de endelige resultater, og om at det påtænkes at afslutte denne undersøgelse, og har haft mulighed for at fremsætte bemærkninger hertil.
All parties concerned were informed of the final findings and the intention to terminate the proceeding and were given an opportunity to comment.
Deres bemærkninger blev taget i betragtning, men de har ikke ændret ovennævnte konklusioner —
Their comments were considered but they have not altered the conclusions reached above,
Antidumpingproceduren vedrørende importen af visse varer fremstillet af koncentreret sojaprotein med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina afsluttes.
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain concentrated soy protein products originating in the People’s Republic of China is hereby terminated.

På trods af sine forbindelser med en kinesisk gruppe af eksporterende producenter betragtes klageren som en EU-producent, navnlig fordi den foreliggende dokumentation tyder på, at denne forretningsmæssigt forbundne gruppes eksport til EU er meget begrænset.
In spite of its relation with a Chinese group of exporting producers, the complainant is considered to constitute a Union producer, especially since available evidence indicates that exports by that related group to the EU are very limited.
Til orientering skal det bemærkes, at ansøger B er forretningsmæssigt forbundet med klageren.
For information, it is noted that applicant B is related to the complainant.

Det var stabilt mellem 2007 og 2008, men steg med 36 % i 2009.
It remained stable between 2007 and 2008, but increased by 36 % in 2009.
I UP faldt det med 11 procentpoint.
In the IP it decreased by 11 percentage points.
Mere specifikt faldt den med 8 % i 2008, før den faldt med yderligere 15 procentpoint i 2009.
More specifically, it decreased by 8 % in 2008 before even further decreasing by another 15 percentage points in 2009.
Der var dog en klar forbedring mellem 2009 og UP, hvor produktionen steg med 9 procentpoint.
However, there was a clear improvement between 2009 and the IP, when the production increased by 9 percentage points.
Mellem 2007 og 2008 faldt det med 8 % og med yderligere 15 procentpoint i 2009.
Between 2007 and 2008 it decreased by 8 % and by another 15 percentage points in 2009.
Derpå steg det med 9 procentpoint i UP.
It then increased by 9 percentage points in the IP.
Salget faldt med 9 % mellem 2007 og 2008 og med yderligere 5 procentpoint i 2009.
The sales decreased by 9 % between 2007 and 2008 and by a further 5 percentage points in 2009.
Der var dog en klar forbedring mellem 2009 og UP, hvor salget steg med ca. 6 procentpoint.
However, there was a clear improvement between 2009 and the IP, when the sales increased by some 6 percentage points.
Den steg lidt mellem 2007 og 2008 inden et kraftigt fald på 10 procentpoint i 2009.
It increased modestly between 2007 and 2008 before a sharp 10 percentage point decline in 2009.
Beskæftigelsen steg dog igen, nemlig med 2 procentpoint i UP.
However, employment increased again by 2 percentage points in the IP.
Den faldt i 2008, men steg igen allerede i 2009.
While it dropped in 2008 it increased already in 2009.
I 2010 nåede den et niveau, der lå meget tæt på niveauet i 2007.
In 2010 it reached a level very close to that of 2007.
Mens den kinesiske import steg med 26 % mellem 2008 og 2009, og cif-prisen for denne import faldt med 11 procentpoint, kunne EU-erhvervsgrenen i modsætning hertil bevare sin markedsandel og genrejse sig efter tabene i 2008.
By contrast, while the Chinese imports increased by 26 % between 2008 and 2009, and their CIF import price went down by 11 percentage points, the Union industry kept its market share and recovered from the 2008 losses.
Mens importen fra Kina — også i perioden mellem 2009 og UP — opretholdt sin tilstedeværelse på EU-markedet, forbedredes EU-erhvervsgrenens situation klart som drøftet i skadesanalysen ovenfor.
Also between 2009 and the IP while imports from the PRC maintained their presence on the Union market, the situation of the Union industry clearly improved as discussed above in the injury analysis.
Andre eksempler er beskæftigelse – 7 % lavere i 2010 end i 2007 — og produktivitet — også 7 % lavere i 2010 end i 2007.
Other examples are employment — 7 % less in 2010 than in 2007 — and productivity — also 7 % less in 2010 than in 2007.
Det er derfor klart, at faldet i efterspørgslen, uanset den underliggende årsag, var en væsentlig faktor for udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
It is therefore clear that the contraction in demand, whatever its underlying cause, was a major factor in the developments of the state of the Union industry.
I denne forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at efterspørgslen navnlig faldt mellem 2008 og 2009.
In this context, it is noted that demand dropped in particular between 2008 and 2009.
På grund af det tidsmæssige sammenfald var faldet på 8 procentpoint mellem 2008 og 2009 med al sandsynlighed forbundet med den økonomiske krise.
Because of its coincidence in time, the 8 percentage points’ decrease between 2008 and 2009 was in all likelihood linked to the economic crisis.
Desuden blev der modtaget anmodninger om individuel undersøgelse, jf. grundforordningens artikel 17, stk. 3, fra én eksporterende producent, der ikke indgik i stikprøven (»ansøger A«), og en gruppe af forretningsmæssigt forbundne eksporterende producenter, der ikke indgik i stikprøven (samlet benævnt »ansøger B«) [4]. Efter at have analyseret oplysningerne fra de parter, der indgår i stikprøven, samt disse anmodninger, herunder også behørigt udfyldte spørgeskemaer, blev det konkluderet, at antallet af (grupper af) eksporterende producenter, der skulle undersøges alene i stikprøven, var så stort, at yderligere individuelle undersøgelser ville være urimeligt byrdefulde og hindre en rettidig afslutning af undersøgelsen. Ansøgerne blev derfor underrettet om, at deres anmodning om individuel undersøgelse blev afvist.
In addition, claims for individual examination (IE) as per Article 17(3) of the basic Regulation were received from one non-sampled exporting producer (‘applicant A’) and one group of related non-sampled exporting producers (jointly ‘applicant B’) [4]. After having analysed the information submitted by the sampled parties, as well as these requests including duly completed questionnaires, it was considered that the number of (groups of) exporting producers to be investigated in the sample alone was so large that additional IEs would be unduly burdensome and would prevent completion of the investigation in good time. Therefore, the applicants were informed that their request for an individual examination was rejected.
Undersøgelsen af dumping og skade omfattede perioden fra 1. januar 2010 til 31. december 2010 (»undersøgelsesperioden« eller »UP«). Undersøgelsen af udviklingstendenser af relevans for vurderingen af skade omfattede perioden fra 2007 til udgangen af undersøgelsesperioden (»den betragtede periode«).
The investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 January 2010 to 31 December 2010 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’). The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 2007 to the end of the investigation period (‘period considered’).
