Den nåede sit laveste niveau i 2009, hvorefter den steg lidt i 2010 uden dog at nå tilbage til det oprindelige niveau.
It reached its lowest level in 2009, after which it started to recover in the 2010, without reaching the initial levels.
I UP faldt produktiviteten igen til det laveste niveau for 2009.
In the IP the productivity returned to the 2009 lowest level.
Slutlagre som andel af produktionen
Closing stock as percentage of production
Selv om de virksomheder i EU-erhvervsgrenen, der indgik i stikprøven, fastholdt deres lagre på et lavt niveau ved hjælp af et system med produktion efter ordre, havde de lagerbeholdninger af visse almindelige varer.
Although the sampled companies of the Union industry maintained their stocks at a low level using a production to order system, some common products were kept in stock.
Lagerbeholdningerne steg betydeligt både i absolutte tal og som andel af produktionen.
The stock level increased significantly both in absolute terms and as percentage of production.
I den betragtede periode steg ultimolagrene fra 6,7 % til 9,1 %.
Over the period concerned, the end of year stock level increased from 6,7 % to 9,1 %.
Den således beregnede rentabilitet nåede sit højeste niveau i 2009 på grund af faldende omkostninger til køb af den vigtigste råvare (dvs. aluminium).
The profitability thus calculated reached its highest level in 2009 due to decreased purchase costs of the main raw material item (i.e. aluminium).
Fortjenesten faldt fra 2009 og fremefter og var på 0,7 % i UP.
Profit fell from 2009 onwards reaching 0,7 % in the IP.
Disse rentabilitetstal dækker alle markedssegmenter, herunder det forholdsvis rentable mærkevaresegment, som i langt mindre grad var udsat for konkurrence fra lavprisimporten fra Kina.
These profitability figures cover all segments of the market, including the relatively profitable branded segment which was to a much lesser extent subject to competition from the low priced Chinese imports.
Segmentet for varer under eget mærke alene var rent faktisk tabsgivende i UP.
Indeed, the private label segment alone was substantially loss-making in the IP.
EU-erhvervsgrenen nævnte ikke evnen til at tilvejebringe kapital som et stort problem.
Ability to raise capital was not mentioned as a significant problem by the Union industry.
Likviditet, investeringer og investeringsafkast
Cash flow, investments and return on investment (ROI)
Tendensen for likviditeten, som er erhvervsgrenens evne til at selvfinansiere sine aktiviteter, og investeringsafkastet fulgte samme negative tendens som afkastet af omsætningen.
The trend in cash flow, which is the ability of the industry to self-finance its activities, as well as return on investment, followed a similar negative trend as the return on turnover.
I 2008 investerede en EU-producent i yderligere lagerfaciliteter.
In 2008 an EU producer invested in extra storage facilities.
I de andre år inden for den betragtede periode blev der ikke konstateret større investeringer for de virksomheder i stikprøven, der er omfattet af EU-erhvervsgrenen.
In the other years of the period considered, no major investments were identified in respect of the sampled companies of the Union industry.

Konklusion vedrørende skade
Conclusion on Injury
Undersøgelsen viste, at mange skadesindikatorer vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation forværredes eller slet ikke udviklede sig i tråd med forbruget i den betragtede periode.
The investigation showed that many of the injury indicators pertaining to the economic situation of the Union industry deteriorated or did not develop in line with consumption during the period considered.
Denne bemærkning gælder navnlig for perioden 2010 til udgangen af UP.
This observation particularly applies to the period from 2010 up to the end of the IP.
I løbet af den betragtede periode steg mængden af importerede varer fra Kina støt og markant i en situation med et stabilt forbrug.
Over the period considered, in the context of a stable consumption, volume of imports from the PRC increased steadily and significantly.
Samtidig er EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde samlet set faldet med 9 %, og dens markedsandel faldt med ca. 10 procentpoint.
At the same time, the Union industry sales volume decreased overall by 9 % and its market share dropped by around 10 percentage points.
Også EU-erhvervsgrenens lagre voksede betydeligt, hvilket viser, at den ikke er i stand til at sælge varen.
Also the Union industry's stock volume increased significantly, indicating its inability to sell the product.
Den billige dumpingimport steg støt i den betragtede periode og underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser betydeligt i UP.
The low-priced dumped imports increased steadily over the period considered and undercut the prices of the Union industry significantly in the IP.
Desuden blev skadesindikatorerne vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle resultater, f.eks. likviditet og rentabilitet, alvorligt påvirket i 2010 og UP.
Furthermore, the injury indicators related to the financial performance of the Union industry, such as cash flow and profitability were seriously affected in 2010 and the IP.
I lyset af ovenstående konkluderes det, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
In the light of the foregoing, it is concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6 og 7, blev det undersøgt, om dumpingimporten med oprindelse i Kina havde forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen skade i et omfang, der kan betegnes som væsentligt.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and 3(7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the dumped imports originating in the PRC have caused injury to the Union industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
Dumpingimportens virkning
Effect of the Dumped Imports
Ved udgangen af 2009 blev der indført antidumpingtold på folie af aluminium i jumboruller med oprindelse i Kina.
At the end of 2009 anti-dumping duties were imposed on jumbo reels of aluminium foil originating in the PRC.
Fra denne dato steg importen af den pågældende vare (varer på senere produktionstrin) hurtigt.
From this date imports of the product concerned (the downstream product) increased rapidly.
Denne stigning faldt sammen med en forværring af EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
These increases coincide with a deterioration of the situation of the Union industry.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EU-forbruget forblev stabilt i den betragtede periode, mens mængden af dumpingimport fra Kina steg voldsomt, dvs. med over 200 %.
The investigation showed that the Union consumption remained stable over the period considered, while the volume of dumped imports from the PRC increased dramatically by over 200 %.
Markedsandelen for denne import steg også fra 4,5 % i 2008 til 13,4 % i UP (dvs. med omkring 9 procentpoint).
The market share of these imports also increased from 4,5 % in 2008 to 13,4 % in the IP (i.e. by around 9 percentage points).
Samtidig faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde med 9 %, og ligeledes faldt markedsandelen med 9 procentpoint, fra 95,2 % i 2008 til 85,2 % i UP.
At the same time, sales volume of the Union industry decreased by 9 % and market share dropped also by 9 percentage points, from 95,2 % in 2008 to 85,2 % in the IP.
Hvad angår pristrykket, bør det fremhæves, at de kinesiske eksporterende producenter underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser i UP.
With regard to the price pressure, it should be highlighted that the Chinese exporting producers undercut the Union industry in the IP.
Pristrykket i forbindelse med øgede mængder gav de kinesiske eksporterende producenter mulighed for at indgå kontrakter med store kunder (detailhandlere og grossister).
The price pressure at increasing volumes allowed the Chinese exporting producers to win contracts with major customers (retailers and wholesalers).
Hvad angår de kontrakter, som blev bevaret, var EU-erhvervsgrenen nødt til at give afkald på de prisstigninger, som den behøvede for at kunne kompensere for stigninger i aluminiumspriserne.
For contracts maintained the Union industry had to forego price increases which it needed to offset increases in aluminium prices.
Underbudsniveauet var i UP på ca. 10 %, og i det pågældende år øgede EU-erhvervsgrenen gennemsnitspriserne med 3 % for at afspejle de øgede omkostninger til råvarer, hvorimod de kinesiske eksporterende producenter sænkede deres priser på EU-markedet med ca. 3 % (se tabel 3).
Undercutting in the IP was around 10 % and in that year the Union industry raised average prices by 3 % to reflect increased raw material costs, whereas the Chinese exporting producers reduced their prices on the EU market by around 3 % (see Table 3).
Dette resulterede i en betydelig forværring af EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet.
This resulted in a significant deterioration in profitability of the Union industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående kan det konkluderes, at den store stigning i dumpingimporten fra Kina til priser, som underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser, har spillet en afgørende rolle for den væsentlige skade, EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, hvilket navnlig afspejles i den dårlige finansielle situation, det betydelige fald i salgsmængde og markedsandel samt forværringen af mange skadesindikatorer.
Based on the above it is concluded that the large increase of the dumped imports from the PRC at prices undercutting those of the Union industry have had a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry, which is reflected in particular in its poor financial situation, in the drop in sales volume and in market share and in the deterioration of many of the injury indicators.
Andre faktorers indvirkning
Effect of Other Factors
Klageren forelagde oplysninger om mængden og pristendenserne på baggrund af data fra Eurostat.
The quantity and price trends were supplied from the complainant based on Eurostat data.
Importen fra tredjelande (hovedsageligt Indien, Rusland, Taiwan og Tyrkiet) steg med 300 % i den betragtede periode.
Imports from third countries (mainly India, Russia, Taiwan and Turkey) increased by 300 % over the period considered.
Den samlede andel af EU-markedet for denne import er dog stadig marginal.
However, the total EU market share of these imports still remains marginal.
Den kan derfor ikke have bidraget til den skade, der er forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen i UP.
Therefore, they cannot have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Eksportmængder og priser
Export volumes and prices
Eksportmængden for EU-producenterne i stikprøven i den betragtede periode fremgår af nedenstående tabel.
The volume of exports of the sampled Union producers during the period considered is shown in the table below.
Følgende mængde- og pristendenser er fastsat på grundlag af efterprøvede tal fra producenterne i stikprøven.
The quantity and price trends are verified figures from the sampled producers.
Eksport foretaget af EU-producenterne i stikprøven
Exports of the Sampled Union Producers
EU's eksportmængde

Eksport som andel af produktionen
Exports as percentage of production
Eksportmængden for producenterne i stikprøven var ubetydelig i den betragtede periode og tegnede sig på intet tidspunkt for mere end 2 % af de producerede mængder.
The sampled producers' export volumes were not significant over the period considered, never representing more than 2 % of the produced volumes.
Den fulgte samme tendens som salget på det europæiske marked.
They followed a trend similar to that of the sales volumes in the European market.
På baggrund af de begrænsede mængder anses det, at udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportmængde ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, der er forvoldt.
In view of their limited volumes, the development of exports of the Union industry did not contribute to the material injury suffered.
Den økonomiske krise førte ikke til noget fald i EU-forbruget i den betragtede periode.
The economic crisis did not produce any contraction of the Union consumption during the period considered.
Som kunne forventes for husholdningsvarer, som ikke er luksusvarer, havde finanskrisen ingen indvirkning på forbruget af AHF, som stadig er meget stabilt inden for fødevarefremstilling og emballageindustrien.
As could be expected for non-luxury household products, the financial crisis had no impact on consumption of AHF which remains a very stable product in the food processing and packaging industry.
Den økonomiske krise bidrog således ikke til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen blev forvoldt i UP.
Thus, the economic crisis did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Konkurrence på EU-markedet
Competition on the Union market
Konkurrencen på EU-markedet er stærk, og der skal i den forbindelse mindes om, at EU-erhvervsgren er præget af store forskelligheder (der er over 30 producenter), og at en af de vigtigste kunder er den magtfulde detailsektor.
Competition on the Union market is strong bearing in mind that the Union industry is quite diverse (there are over 30 producers) and that one of their main customers is the powerful retail sector.
I løbet af de sidste mange år har Den Europæiske Unions største detailhandlere udviklet deres egne mærker (handelsmærker), hvilket for AHF har indebåret et gradvist fald i salget af producenternes egne mærker.
Over many years the major European Union retailers have developed their own brands (private labels) which in respect of AHF has gradually reduced the volume of sales of the producers own brands.
Dette har skadet producenterne i EU-erhvervsgrenen, som har oplevet et faldende salg i det mere rentable segment for mærkevarer og tvunget dem ud i en situation med større indbyrdes konkurrence i det voksende segment for handelsmærker.
This has been detrimental to the Union industry producers which have suffered falls in sales of the more profitable branded segment and forced them into greater competition with each other in the increasing private label segment.
Denne udvikling har dog været en gradvis proces over en lang årrække, og undersøgelsen har vist, at segmentet for handelsmærker kun er steget fra 83 % til 84 % fra 2010 til UP.
However, this development has been a gradual process over many years and the investigation has shown that the private label business has only increased from 83 % to 84 % from 2010 to the IP.
Denne stigning har ganske vist haft begrænsede virkninger for EU-producenterne, men forklarer ikke omfanget af den skade, de har oplevet.
Therefore although this increase will have had a small impact on the EU producers it does not explain the magnitude of the injurious trends experienced by them.
De interesserede parter hævdede, at udsvingene i produktionsomkostningerne, navnlig aluminiumsprisen, bidrog til skaden.
It was argued by interested parties that fluctuations in the cost of production, mainly the aluminium price, contributed to the injury.
Omkostningerne til fremstilling af AHF er tæt knyttet til prisudviklingen for aluminium, den vigtigste råvare, der benyttes til fremstilling af denne vare.
The cost of production of AHF is closely linked to the price development of aluminium the main raw material used to produce this product.
Priserne på LME er benchmarks for aluminiumspriserne i hele verden.
The LME is the worldwide benchmark for aluminium prices.
Udvikling i gennemsnitspriserne for aluminium på LME
Development of LME average aluminium prices
Kilde: LME
Source: LME
LME's gennemsnitlige kontantpris pr. ton i USD
LME cash average price per tonne in USD
AHF-branchen fastsætter dog normalt sine priser på grundlag af LME's benchmarkpris plus en margen til dækning af forarbejdningsomkostninger og fortjeneste.
However, the AHF industry normally sets its prices on an LME benchmark basis plus a margin to cover transformation costs and profit.
Dette betyder, at under normale omstændigheder har udsving i LME's benchmarkpris ikke stor indvirkning på AHF-branchens situation, da priserne på færdigvaren svinger i takt med LME's priser.
This means that under normal circumstances fluctuations in the LME benchmark do not have a big impact on the situation of the AHF industry as prices of the finished products move in line with LME prices.
EU-erhvervsgrenen har rent faktisk altid befundet sig i et miljø præget af svingende aluminiumspriser.
In fact the Union industry has always existed in an environment of fluctuating aluminium prices.
Det blev også fremført, at EU-erhvervsgrenens udstyr er ineffektivt, hvilket bidrog til skaden.
It was also argued that the Union industry has inefficient equipment which contributed to the injury.
Det skal dog bemærkes, at undersøgelsen ikke kunne bekræfte dette synspunkt, og at EU's og Kinas forarbejdningsomkostninger overordnet set var forholdsvis ensartede.
It must be said that the investigation did not support this view and that in fact EU and Chinese transformation costs as a whole were quite similar.
Endvidere ville en sådan ineffektivitet betyde, at EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet ville have været lav i mange år, og en sådan påstand forklarer ikke tabet af markedsandele og faldet i salgsmængde og rentabilitet fra 2009 til UP.
Furthermore any such inefficiency would mean that Union industry profitability would have been low for many years and this kind of claim does not explain the loss of market share, sales volume and profitability which occurred from 2009 to the IP.
På baggrund af ovenstående kan hverken udsvingene i aluminiumspriserne eller den påståede manglende produktionseffektivitet betragtes som en årsag til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
In view of the above, the fluctuating aluminium prices or the alleged lack of production efficiency cannot be considered a cause of the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Som nævnt ovenfor var de europæiske producenters kapacitetsudnyttelse relativt lav i den betragtede periode.
As mentioned above the capacity utilisation of the European producers was relatively low over the period considered.
Da EU-producenterne kan anvende de samme maskiner til omspoling af andre varer (f.eks. plastfolie), anses tallene for kapacitetsudnyttelsen dog ikke for at være en væsentlig faktor for årsagssammenhængen.
However, as the Union producers are able to use the same machinery for rewinding other products (such as cling film) the capacity utilisation figures are not considered to be a major causation factor.
Desuden var tallene for kapacitetsudnyttelsen allerede forholdsvis lave i 2008 og 2009, hvor rentabiliteten og erhvervsgrenens situation generelt var tilfredsstillende.
Also the capacity utilisation figures were already quite low in 2008 and 2009 when profitability rates and the situation of the industry in general were satisfactory.
Det blev derfor konkluderet, at overkapacitet ikke var en væsentlig årsag til den skade, som EU-producenterne led.
It was therefore concluded that overcapacity was not a substantial cause of the injury suffered by the EU producers.
Ovenstående analyse har vist, at der var en betydelig stigning i mængde og markedsandel for dumpingimporten med oprindelse i Kina, navnlig i 2010 og UP.
The above analysis demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the dumped imports originating in the PRC particularly in 2010 and the IP.
Det blev konstateret, at denne import underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser på EU-markedet i UP.
It was found that these imports undercut the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market during the IP.
Denne stigning i mængden af og markedsandelen for lavprisdumpingimport fra Kina faldt sammen med den negative udvikling i EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC coincided with the negative development in the economic situation of the Union industry.
Denne situation forværredes i UP, hvor EU-erhvervsgrenen tabte markedsandele, og rentabiliteten forværredes, og hvor andre finansielle indikatorer som f.eks. likviditet og investeringsafkast nåede deres laveste niveau.
This situation worsened in the IP, when the Union industry continued to lose market share and profitability and other financial indicators such as cash flow and return on investments reached their lowest levels.
Undersøgelsen af andre kendte faktorer, herunder den økonomiske krise, viste, at eventuelle negative indvirkninger af disse faktorer ikke kan være af et sådant omfang, at de kan bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
The analysis of the other known factors, including the economic crisis, showed that any negative impact of these factors cannot be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående analyse, hvor der blev behørigt skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, konkluderes det foreløbigt, at dumpingimporten fra Kina har forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
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 exports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped exports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.

Preliminary Remarks
Unionens interesser blev analyseret på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenens, importørernes/grossisternes og detailhandlernes interesser.
The analysis of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers/wholesalers and retailers of the product concerned.
EU-Erhvervsgrenens interesser
Interest of the Union Industry
Der mindes om, at mange skadesindikatorer viste en negativ tendens i den betragtede periode.
It is recalled that many of the injury indicators showed a negative trend during the period considered.
Uden foranstaltninger forekommer en yderligere forringelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation uundgåelig.
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration in the Union industry's situation appears unavoidable.
EU-erhvervsgrenens situation forværredes hurtigt efter indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger på varen i tidligere produktionstrin (folie af aluminium i jumboruller) i 2009.
The situation of the Union industry deteriorated rapidly following the imposition of anti-dumping measures on the upstream product (aluminium foil in jumbo reels) in 2009.
Da de samme strukturelle problemer i den kinesiske aluminiumssektor, som allerede er blevet konstateret i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse, fortsat findes på markedet, hævdede EU-erhvervsgrenen, at den også bør beskyttes mod illoyal konkurrence.
As the same structural problems in the Chinese aluminium sector already observed during that investigation continue to exist on the market, the Union industry argued that it too should be protected from unfair competition.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, vil der kunne forventes yderligere tabte markedsandele, og EU-erhvervsgrenen vil forblive tabsgivende, navnlig i sektoren for handelsmærker.
Should measures not be imposed, further losses in market share could be expected and the Union industry would remain loss-making, notably in the private label sector.
