Den kendsgerning, at visse producenter ikke er vertikalt integrerede, skyldes kun virksomhedernes beslutninger og stordriftsfordele og kan ikke ændre denne konklusion.
The fact that some producers are not vertically integrated is due only to business decision and economies of scale and does not reverse this conclusion.
Påstanden måtte derfor afvises.
On these grounds, this argument had to be rejected.
Endelige anvendelsesformål og indbyrdes udskiftelighed
End use and interchangeability
Flere interesserede parter påstod, at moduler, celler og wafere skal behandles som forskellige varer, da de har forskellige endelige anvendelsesformål og ikke er indbyrdes udskiftelige.
Several interested parties claimed that modules, cells and wafers must be treated as different products given that they have different end uses and they were not interchangeable.
Som det fremgår af det ovenstående, viste undersøgelsen, at produktionen af wafere, celler og moduler er en enkelt produktionsproces, og spørgsmålet om indbyrdes udskiftelighed mellem de forskellige trin i en produktionsproces er derfor ikke relevant.
As mentioned above the investigation showed that the wafer-cell-module production process is one single production process and therefore the question of interchangeability between different steps of a single production process is not applicable.
Desuden har moduler, celler og wafere det samme endelige anvendelsesformål, nemlig at omdanne sollys til elektricitet, og de kan derfor ikke anvendes til andre formål.
Moreover, modules, cells and wafers have the same end use, converting sunlight into electricity and therefore cannot be used in other applications.
Distributionskanaler
Distribution channels
En interesseret part påstod, at moduler, celler og wafere ikke har de samme distributionskanaler, og at de derfor ikke kunne betragtes som en enkelt vare.
One interested party claimed that modules, cells and wafers do not share the same distribution channels and should therefore not be considered as one single product.
Undersøgelsen viste, at moduler, celler og wafere kan distribueres gennem forskellige eller de samme distributionskanaler.
The investigation showed that modules, cells and wafers can be distributed within different or similar distribution channels.
De vigtigste kriterier for at definere en enkelt vare er de samme fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber og endelige anvendelsesformål.
However, the main criteria to define a single product are the same physical, chemical and technical characteristics and end uses.
På grundlag af betragtning 27-29 konkluderes det således, at forskellige distributionskanaler ikke betragtes som et afgørende element.
Considering recitals 27 to 29 above, it is concluded that therefore different distribution channels are not considered as a determining element.
Argumentet må derfor afvises.
The argument should therefore be rejected.
Forbrugernes opfattelse
Consumer perception
Det blev påstået, at moduler, celler og wafere opfattes helt forskelligt af forbrugerne, og at de derfor ikke bør betragtes som en enkelt vare.
It was claimed that modules, cells and wafers differ substantially in terms of consumer perception and therefore they should not be considered as one single product.
Som i det foregående er de vigtigste kriterier for at definere en enkelt vare, at de samme fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber og endelige anvendelsesformål.
Likewise as above the main criteria to define a single product are the same physical, chemical and technical characteristics and end uses.
På grundlag af betragtning 27-29 konkluderes det således, at forbrugernes opfattelse ikke betragtes som et afgørende element.
Considering recitals 27 to 29 above it is concluded that therefore different consumer perception is not considered as a determining element.
Tyndfilmsprodukter
Thin film products
En interesseret part påstod, at fotovoltaiske varer af tyndfilm bør inkluderes i definitionen af den pågældende vare, idet de angiveligt har de samme grundlæggende fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber og endelige anvendelsesformål.
One interested party claimed that thin film PV products should be included in the definition of product concerned, arguing that they share the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and the same basic end uses.
Fotovoltaiske varer af tyndfilm er klart udelukket fra varedækningen, jf. betragtning 21.
Thin film PV products are clearly excluded from the product definition (see recital 21 above).
Fotovoltaiske varer af tyndfilm har ganske anderledes fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber end den pågældende vare.
Indeed, thin film PV products have different physical, chemical and technical characteristics compared to the product concerned.
De produceres gennem en anden produktionsproces og fremstilles ikke af krystallinsk silicium, som er den vigtigste råvare til produktion af moduler, celler og wafere.
They are produced via a different production process and not from crystalline silicon which is the main raw material to produce modules, cells and wafers.
De har en lavere omdannelsesydeevne og en lavere produktion af watt, og de er derfor ikke egnede til samme type anvendelse som den pågældende vare.
They have lower conversion efficiency and a lower wattage output and therefore they are not suitable for the same types of applications than those of the product concerned.
Påstanden måtte derfor afvises.
On these grounds, the arguments had to be rejected.
Udelukkelse af monowafere
Exclusion of monowafers
En interesseret part påstod, at monowafere burde udelukkes fra definitionen af den pågældende vare, da de har anderledes fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber end multiwafere.
One interested party claimed that monowafers should be excluded from the definition of the product concerned, as they have different physical, chemical and technical characteristics than multiwafers.
Det blev påstået, at de har en anderledes krystalstruktur, form og et anderledes udseende.
It was claimed that they have differences in the crystal structure, in the shape and in the aspect.
Det blev endvidere påstået, at der ikke produceres monowafere i Unionen.
Moreover, it was claimed that there was no Union production of monowafers.
Undersøgelsen viste, at monowafere er af højere kvalitet end multiwafere, uanset at de er et resultat af ens produktionsprocesser, der anvender den samme råvare (polysilicium).
The investigation found that monowafers are of a higher quality than multiwafers, albeit issued from similar production processes using the same main raw material (polysilicon).
Det konkluderes derfor, at monowafere og multiwafere har de samme grundlæggende fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber.
Therefore it is concluded that monowafers and multiwafers have the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics.
Undersøgelsen viste, at de grundlæggende endelige anvendelsesformål er de samme, da både monowafere og multiwafere udelukkende er beregnet til produktion af solceller (hhv. mono- og multisolceller) og fører til produktion af solcellemoduler (hhv. mono- og multisolcellemoduler).
The investigation showed that the basic end uses are the same, as both monowafers and multiwafers are exclusively dedicated to the production of solar cells (mono and multi accordingly) and resulting in the production of solar modules (mono and multi accordingly).
Der er ingen væsentlige forskelle mellem de to typer wafere, og de er indbyrdes udskiftelige, da de begge anvendes til at producere celler.
There are no substantial differences between the two types of wafers and they are interchangeable, they both can be used to produce cells.
Hvad angår påstanden om, at der ikke produceres monowafere i Unionen, viste undersøgelsen, at der produceres både monowafere og multiwafere i Unionen.
In addition, as to the claim that there was no production of monowafers in the Union, the investigation showed that both monowafers and multiwafers are produced in the Union.
Påstanden måtte derfor afvises.
On these grounds, this argument has to be rejected.
Halvfabrikata
Semi-finished products
Det blev endvidere påstået, at wafere og celler burde betragtes som to halvfabrikata, der anvendes i produktionsprocessen, mens moduler er de endelige produkter; de bør derfor ikke betragtes som en samlet vare.
Furthermore it was claimed that wafers and cells should be considered as two semi-finished feeder products while modules are end products, therefore they should not be considered as one single product.
Som i det foregående er de vigtigste kriterier for at definere en enkelt vare, at den samme fysiske, kemiske og tekniske egenskaber og endelige anvendelsesformål.
As mentioned above, the main criteria to define a single product are the same physical, chemical and technical characteristics and end uses.
På grundlag af betragtning 27-29 konkluderes det således, at forskellen mellem halvfabrikata og endelige produkter ikke betragtes som et afgørende element.
Considering recitals 27 to 29 above it is concluded that therefore the difference between semi-finished or finished products is not considered as a determining element.
Solcelleopladere
Solar chargers
En interesseret part anmodede om en udelukkelse af solcellepaneler, der udelukkende er beregnet til 12 V's opladning af batterier, da de angiveligt har et andet anvendelsesformål end moduler, der kobles på forsyningsnettet, idet de genererer en mindre spænding og derfor ikke kan kobles til forsyningsnettet.
One interested party requested the exclusion of solar panels dedicated solely to 12V battery charging on the basis that they have a different end use than the modules for grid connection due to the fact that they generate much lower voltage and therefore are not suitable for grid connection.
I henhold til indledningsmeddelelsen er solcelleopladere, der består af mindre end seks solceller, er bærbare og leverer elektricitet til apparater eller oplader batterier, udelukket fra den undersøgte vare.
According to the Notice of Initiation solar chargers that consist of less than six cells, are portable and supply electricity to devices or charge batteries are excluded from the product under investigation.
Moduler med mere end seks celler, som udelukkende er beregnet til opladning af batterier, har de samme grundlæggende egenskaber og ydeevne som moduler, der kan tilsluttes forsyningsnettet.
Modules of more than six cells dedicated only to battery charging have the same basic characteristics and performance as the modules for grid connection.
De kan anvende en tomgangsspænding med en lavere spænding end det kredsløb, der anvendes i moduler, der tilsluttes forsyningsnettet.
They use an open voltage circuit which has a lower voltage than the circuit used in modules for grid connection.
Til trods for denne forskel viste undersøgelsen, at denne type moduler kan tilsluttes forsyningsnettet.
Despite this difference the investigation has revealed that this type of modules can be connected to the grid.
Den lavere spænding kan let kompenseres af en større dimension og/eller flere celler.
The lower voltage can be easily compensated by an increase in dimension and/or number of cells.
Moduler, der er beregnet til opladning af batterier og består af mere end seks celler, falder derfor under definitionen af den pågældende vare.
Therefore modules dedicated to battery charging, and consisting of more than six cells, fall within the definition of the product concerned.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderes det foreløbigt, at fotovoltaiske moduler eller paneler af krystallinsk silicium og celler og wafere af den type, der benyttes i fotovoltaiske moduler eller paneler af krystallinsk silicium, er én samlet vare.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that crystalline silicon PV modules or panels and cells and wafers, of the type used in crystalline silicon PV modules or panels, as described above, constitute a single product.
Kommissionen vil dog yderligere behandle spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt moduler, celler og wafere udgør en enkelt eller to eller tre separate varer.
However, the Commission will further investigate the question as to whether modules, cells and wafers constitute one single or two or three separate products.
Kommissionen opfordrer derfor alle interesserede parter til at fremsætte bemærkninger og synspunkter om dette spørgsmål i betragtning af Kommissionens midlertidige konklusion i denne fase.
It therefore invites all interested parties to make their views known on this question, taking into account the provisional conclusion reached by the Commission at this stage.
Selv om det eventuelt konkluderes, at varerne udgør to eller tre separate varer, omfatter den nuværende undersøgelse dog stadig alle tre forskelle varer, og eventuelle definitive foranstaltninger indføres således for moduler, celler og wafere uanset spørgsmålet om, hvorvidt de udgør en enkelt eller flere varer.
In any event, even if they were ultimately found to constitute two or three different products, the current investigation would cover all of these different products, and definitive measures could be imposed on modules, cells and wafers independently of the question whether they constitute one or several products.
Folkerepublikken Kina
The PRC
I denne undersøgelse anmodede samtlige eksporterende producenter i stikprøven om markedsøkonomisk behandling i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 7, litra b), og indsendte ansøgningsformularen herom inden for tidsfristerne.
In the present investigation all sampled exporting producers requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation and replied to the MET claim form within the given deadlines.
Efterprøvningen fastslog, at ingen af de syv eksporterende producenter (grupper af virksomheder), der anmodede om markedsøkonomisk behandling, opfyldte kriterierne i grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 7, litra c).
The verification established that all seven exporting producers (groups of companies) claiming MET did not meet the requirements of the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Alle syv virksomhedsgrupper havde fordel af skattemæssig særbehandling og modtog tilskud og var således ikke i stand til at påvise, at de ikke var genstand for væsentlige fordrejninger, der var overført fra det ikke-markedsøkonomiske system, og opfyldte derfor ikke kravene i kriterium 3 i analysen vedrørende markedsøkonomisk behandling.
All seven groups of companies benefited from preferential tax regime(s) and grants and consequently have failed to demonstrate not to be subject to significant distortions carried over from the non-market economy system and therefore did not fulfil the requirements of criterion 3 of the MET assessment.
Seks virksomhedsgrupper kunne ikke godtgøre, at deres regnskaber blev uafhængigt revideret i henhold til internationale regnskabsstandarder, og opfyldte derfor ikke kravene i kriterium 2 i analysen vedrørende markedsøkonomisk behandling.
Six groups of companies failed to demonstrate that their accounts would be independently audited in line with international accounting standards and therefore did not fulfil the requirements of criterion 2 of the MET assessment.
En virksomhedsgruppe var ikke i stand til at godtgøre, at alle virksomhederne i gruppen var underlagt konkurslove, og opfyldte ikke kravene i kriterium 4 i analysen vedrørende markedsøkonomisk behandling.
One group of companies failed to demonstrate that all its companies would be subject to bankruptcy laws and did not fulfil the requirements of criterion 4 of the MET assessment.
Desuden var tre virksomhedsgrupper ikke i stand til at godtgøre, at de ikke var genstand for væsentlig statslig indgriben, og opfyldte ikke kravene i kriterium 1 i analysen vedrørende markedsøkonomisk behandling.
In addition, three groups of companies have not been in a position to demonstrate that they are free from significant State interference and did not fulfil the requirements of criterion 1 of the MET assessment.
Efter fremlæggelsen af konklusionerne om markedsøkonomisk behandling modtog Kommissionen bemærkninger fra alle stikprøvevirksomheder.
Following the disclosure of MET findings, comments were received from all sampled companies.
To virksomhedsgrupper fremsatte en proceduremæssig bemærkning og påstod, at afgørelsen om markedsøkonomisk behandling var foretaget for sent, dvs. efter den tremånedersperiode, der er fastlagt i grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 7, litra c), og at undersøgelsen derfor burde afsluttes straks.
Two groups of companies made a procedural comment and claimed that the MET determination was made out of time, i.e. after the three-month period laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation and that the investigation therefore should be terminated without delay.
De underbyggede deres påstand med EU-Domstolens dom i Brosmann- [4] og Aokan [5] Shoes-sagerne.
In support of the claim they relied on the Court of Justice’s judgments in the Brosmann [4] and Aokang [5] shoes cases.
Først skal der mindes om, at Brosmann- og Aokang-sagerne ikke er relevante for vurderingen af lovformeligheden af en analyse vedrørende markedsøkonomisk behandling i denne undersøgelse, da disse sager i modsætning til denne undersøgelse vedrører situationer, hvor der slet ikke blev udført vurderinger vedrørende markedsøkonomisk behandling.
First, it is recalled that the Brosmann and Aokang cases are not pertinent for the assessment of the legality of the MET analysis in the investigation at hand since those cases, contrary to this investigation, relate to situations where the MET assessments were not conducted at all.
Desuden er sagerne Brosmann og Aokan Shoes ikke relevante for vurderingen af lovformeligheden i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse, da grundforordningen i mellemtiden var blevet ændret.
Furthermore, the Brosmann and Aokang cases are not relevant for the assessment of the legality of the investigation at hand, as the basic Regulation has meanwhile been amended.
Grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 7, litra c), som senere ændret, foreskriver, at Kommissionen kun træffer afgørelse om markedsøkonomisk behandling for virksomheder, der indgår i en stikprøve i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 17, og at den træffer denne afgørelse senest syv måneder, og under alle omstændigheder ikke senere end otte måneder efter indledningen af undersøgelsen.
Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation, as amended, provides that the Commission shall only make MET determinations in respect of companies included in a sample pursuant to Article 17 of the basic Regulation and that it shall make such a determination within seven, and in any event within eight, months of the initiation of the investigation.
Den ændrede artikel finder anvendelse for alle nye og igangværende undersøgelser efter 15. december 2012, og således også denne undersøgelse.
This amended Article is applicable to all new and pending investigations as from 15 December 2012, including therefore the present one.
Under alle omstændigheder skal fortolkningen af den faste retspraksis opretholdes med hensyn til, at der ikke automatisk var en overtrædelse af retten til en fastsættelse af markedsøkonomisk behandling til trods for, at fristen på tre måneder ikke var overholdt.
In any event, the interpretation of the standing case-law that there was no infringement per se of the right to a MET determination, notwithstanding the fact that the three month time limit was not respected, must be upheld.
De væsentligste bemærkninger fra parterne vedrørte den skattemæssige særbehandling og tilskuddene.
The main substantial comments received concerned the preferential tax regime and grants.
Eksportørerne anfægtede ikke kendsgerningerne, men rejste tvivl ved betydningen heraf for opfyldelsen af kriterium 3 for markedsøkonomisk behandling.
Exporters did not contest the facts established, but questioned their importance for the fulfilment of the MET criterion 3.
De påstod navnlig, at statsydelser ikke udgør en væsentlig del af deres respektive omsætninger.
In particular, they argued that State benefits do not represent a significant proportion of their respective turnovers.
Det skal i den henseende bemærkes, at en indkomstskatteordning, der giver særbehandling til visse virksomheder, der af staten betragtes som strategiske, tydeligvis ikke hører til i en markedsøkonomi.
It is noted in this regard that an income tax system that treats favourably certain companies deemed strategic by the Government is clearly not one of a market economy.
En sådan ordning er stadig stærkt påvirket af statens planlægning.
Such a system is still heavily influenced by State planning.
Det skal også bemærkes, at fordrejningerne som følge af indkomstskattenedsættelser er væsentlige, da de ændrer beløbet af den fortjeneste før skat, som virksomheden skal opnå for at være attraktiv for investorer.
It is also noted that distortions introduced by income tax reductions are significant, as they completely change the amount of pre-tax profits the company has to achieve in order to be attractive to investors.
Fordrejningerne er også permanente, og den absolutte fordel i løbet af undersøgelsesperioden er på grund af fordelens art irrelevant for vurderingen af, hvorvidt fordrejningen er »væsentlig«.
The distortions are also permanent, and the absolute benefit received during the investigation period is, because of the nature of the advantage, irrelevant for assessing whether the distortion is ‘significant’.
Analysen af betydningen skal derimod baseres på foranstaltningens generelle virkning for virksomhedens finansielle og økonomiske situation.
Rather, the assessment of the significance has to be based on the overall impact of the measure on financial and economic situation of the company.
Hvad angår kriterium 2, påstod tre virksomhedsgrupper, at de opfyldte de respektive regler i de internationale regnskabsstandarder, idet deres amerikanske konsoliderede regnskaber fuldt ud opfyldte disse standarder.
With regard to criterion 2, three groups of companies claimed that they complied with the respective rules of the international accounting standards since their US consolidated accounts were fully in line with those standards.
Visse virksomheder påstod også, at deres regnskaber generelt opfyldte de kinesiske regnskabsstandarder, som de betragtede som identiske med de internationale.
Some companies also claimed that, in general, their accounts were in compliance with Chinese accounting standards, which they consider to be equivalent to the international ones.
Disse bemærkninger tog ikke stilling til den kendsgerning, at de pågældende kinesiske virksomheders individuelle regnskaber ikke opfyldte en række internationale regnskabsstandarder (og de tilsvarende kinesiske), herunder navnlig lagerafskrivninger og fremlæggelse af forretningsmæssigt forbundne parters transaktioner.
In particular, those comments failed to address the fact that, with regard to the individual financial statements of the Chinese companies in question, a number of international accounting standards (and the corresponding Chinese equivalent), including in particular inventory depreciation and disclosure of related parties’ transactions, were found to be violated.
Hvad angår kriterium 1, konkluderes det ud fra parternes bemærkninger og i lyset af Domstolens dom i sag C-337/09 P [6], at alle virksomheder opfyldte dette kriterium.
With regard to criterion 1, taking into account comments received from the parties and in the light of the judgment Case C-337/09 P [6], it is concluded that this criterion is met by all companies.
Den generelle afgørelse om markedsøkonomisk behandling er dog uændret, da ingen af eksportørerne i stikprøven var i stand til at opfylde kravene i kriterium 2 og 3.
However, overall MET determination for all sampled exporters remains unchanged since they still fail to meet the requirements of criteria 2 and 3.
Hvad angår kriterium 4, kunne virksomhedsgruppen i betragtning 57 påvise, at der var indledt en konkursbehandling af den største kinesiske virksomhedsgruppe i mellemtiden.
With regard to criterion 4, the company group referred to in recital 57 above could demonstrate that a bankruptcy proceeding was initiated against the main Chinese group company in the meantime.
