I det omfang projektet er koncentreret omkring virksomheder, der ligger i bestemte geografiske områder i det gamle industriområde i de nordøstlige, centrale og vestlige egne, er det også specifikt efter grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 3.
In so far as the project focuses on companies located in specifically designated geographical regions of the old industrial base in north-east, central and west areas, it is also specific within the meaning of Article 4(3) of the basic Regulation.
Eftersom der ikke forelå nogen nøjagtig kvantificering andetsteds, var den mest hensigtsmæssige informationskilde med henblik på vurderingen af fordelen for de eksporterende producenter en tilsvarende afgørelse truffet af de amerikanske myndigheder i en sag om udligningstold, nemlig de amerikanske myndigheders Decision Memorandum of 10 September 2010 on Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe (side 19) (Federal Register Vol. 75, No. 182, side 57444 / 21. september 2010).
In the absence of precise quantification elsewhere, the most appropriate source of information for the assessment of the benefit to the exporting producers has been a similar decision by the US authorities, namely the US Decision Memorandum of 10 September 2010 on Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe (Page No 19) (Federal Register Vol. 75, No. 182, page 57444 / 21 September 2010).
Den således fastsatte subsidiesats med hensyn til denne ordning under UP for alle ikke-samarbejdsvillige virksomheder udgør 0,01 %, dvs. satsen for en tilsvarende ordning fastlagt i de amerikanske myndigheders afgørelse nævnt i foregående betragtning.
The subsidy rate thus established with regard to this scheme during the IP for all non-cooperating companies is set at 0,01 % which is the rate for a similar scheme as established in the US decision referred to in the preceding recital.
Manglende samarbejdsvilje fra den kinesiske regerings side
No cooperation by the GOC
I klagen nævntes flere undersøgelser foretaget af de amerikanske myndigheder [80] og Kommissionen (sag om coated finpapir), ifølge hvilke adskillige provinsprogrammer, hvorunder 40 % af udgifterne for en virksomhed i en antidumpingsag blev finansieret af det lokale finansieringskontor, var udligningsberettigede.
The complaint referred to various investigations carried out by the US authorities [80] and the Commission (Coated Fine Paper proceeding) which found countervailable several provincial programmes under which 40 % of the legal fees for a company's participation in anti-dumping proceeding was refunded by the local financial bureau.
Da de kinesiske myndigheder besluttede ikke at besvare spørgsmålene vedrørende dette program, men alene anførte, at eksportørerne i stikprøven ikke havde været omfattet af det, baserer Kommissionen i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 28 sine konklusioner på den foreliggende dokumentation.
As the GOC decided not to reply to questions on this programme, merely stating that the sampled exporters had not benefited from it, the Commission bases its findings on the evidence available on the file according to Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Ifølge klagen og Kommissionens afgørelse i sagen om coated finpapir (betragtning 193) har programmet følgende retsgrundlag:
According to the complaint and the Commission decision in Coated Fine Paper (recital 193), the legal basis of this programme is the following:
Regler for gennemførelse af støttepolitik for enheder, der er omfattet af undersøgelser om antidumping og antisubsidier
Rules for the Implementation of the Support Policy for the Anti-dumping, Anti-subsidy, Safeguard investigation respondent
Programmet er tiltænkt virksomheder, der er involveret i antidumpingundersøgelser, og som arbejder efter handelsministeriets og provinsmyndighedernes anvisninger.
This programme is available for companies involved in the anti-dumping investigations and working in compliance with the instructions of the Ministry of Commerce and provincial authorities.
Programmet udgør subsidier, da der ydes finansielle bidrag i form af direkte overførsel af midler, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. i), til dækning af udgifter til advokatbistand i antidumpingsager, og medfører en fordel efter grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. i).
This programme constitutes a subsidy as it provides financial contribution in the form of a direct transfer of funds in the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation in order to cover legal fees in anti-dumping proceedings and confers a benefit within the meaning of Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation.
Denne subsidieordning er specifik, jf. grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 2, litra a), idet den er begrænset til virksomheder, der er involveret i antidumpingsager.
This subsidy is specific under Article 4(2)(a) and (c) of the basic Regulation because it is restricted to certain enterprises that are subject to foreign anti-dumping proceedings.
Programmet er også specifikt efter grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 3, da det er begrænset til virksomheder beliggende i bestemte geografiske områder, der ledes af de relevante provinsmyndigheder, som gennemfører programmet.
Furthermore, this programme is also specific within the terms of Article 4(3) of the basic Regulation given that it is limited to certain enterprises registered in the designated geographical regions governed by the relevant provincial authorities implementing this programme.
Eftersom der ikke forelå oplysninger med henblik på vurderingen af fordelen, og eftersom programmet allerede er blevet vurderet af EU's institutioner i en tidligere antidumpingsag, er den mest hensigtsmæssige informationskilde med henblik på vurderingen af fordelen for de eksporterende producenter vurderingen af dette program i forbindelse med sagen om coated finpapir, om nødvendigt behørigt tilpasset som anført i betragtning 252 ovenfor.
In the absence of information for the assessment of this benefit and since this programme has already been examined in a previous anti-subsidy proceeding by the Union institutions, the most appropriate source of information for the assessment of the benefit to the exporting producers has been the assessment made for this programme in the Coated Fine Paper proceeding, duly adjusted if needed as mentioned in recital (252) above.
Den således fastsatte subsidiesats i UP for alle ikke-samarbejdsvillige virksomheder er 0,01 % på grundlag af konklusionerne i sagen om coated finpapir [81].
The subsidy rate thus established for all non-cooperating companies is set at 0,01 % on the basis of Coated Fine Paper findings [81].
REGERINGENS KØB AF VARER MOD UTILSTRÆKKELIGT VEDERLAG
PURCHASE OF GOODS BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR HIGHER THAN ADEQUATE REMUNERATION
Klagen indeholdt dokumentation for, at den kinesiske regering gennem statsejede virksomheder købte stålprodukter fremstillet af producenter af stålprodukter, der er overtrukket med organisk materiale.
The complaint contained evidence that the GOC purchased through SOEs steel products manufactured by OCS producers.
I klagen nævntes regeringens køb af en række stålprodukter såsom farveovertrukket coated plademateriale, varmvalset plademateriale, koldvalset plademateriale, mellemstort plademateriale, galvaniseret plademateriale og mange andre.
The complaint referred to the GOC purchases of a number of steel outputs, including colour-coated sheet, hot-rolled sheet coils, cold-rolled sheet, medium plates, galvanised sheet, and many others.
Det fremgik af klagen, at den pris, de statsejede virksomheder havde betalt for varerne, var fastsat i forhold til forskellige elementer og/eller referencer, og at der var prislofter eller -tilpasninger, som afhang af de forskellige produkter og af, hvorvidt transaktionen vedrørte forretningsmæssigt forbundne parter.
The complaint showed that the price for the purchase of these goods by SOEs was set by reference to different elements and/or benchmarks, and that there were price caps or adjustments depending on the different goods and on whether the transaction concerned related parties.
Den kinesiske regering svarede med en henvisning til sine overordnede argumenter vedrørende statsejede virksomheder, at det ikke var påvist, at de statsejede virksomheder, der havde købt stålprodukterne, reelt var offentlige organer efter WTO-aftalen om subsidier og udligningsforanstaltninger (SCM-aftalen), og at det var umuligt for regeringen at indhente transaktionsspecifikke data vedrørende ukendte enheder.
The GOC replied by reference to its general arguments concerning SOEs that it has not been demonstrated that purchasers SOEs of these steel products were public bodies within the meaning of the WTO SCM Agreement and that it was impossible for the GOC to collect transaction-specific data with regard to unknown entities.
Regeringen anførte også, at der ikke i klagen blev henvist til køb af produkter, som involverede eksportører i stikprøven.
The GOC also stated that the complaint did not refer to any purchase of goods involving the sampled exporters.
Kommissionen henviser til sine konklusioner om, at købere af stålprodukter, der er overtrukket med organisk materiale, og andre stålprodukter er statsejede virksomheder (betragtning 49-73 ovenfor) og til sin anmodning til den kinesiske regering om også at fremsende oplysninger om eksportører, der ikke indgik i stikprøven (jf. betragtning 34 og 35 ovenfor).
The Commission refers to its conclusions on purchasers of OCS and other steel products being SOEs (recitals (49) - (73) above) and to the request to the GOC to provide information also concerning non-sampled exporters (see recitals (34) and (35) above).
Da den kinesiske regering ikke har fremsendt yderligere oplysninger om dette program, baserer Kommissionen i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 28 sine konklusioner på de foreliggende oplysninger i sagen.
Given the lack of further information provided by the GOC on this programme, the Commission bases its findings on the information available on file according to Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
I det omfang priserne ligger over markedsprisen, og staten har givet producenterne af stålprodukter, der er overtrukket med organisk materiale, en fordel gennem de opkøbende statsejede virksomheder, er dette program udligningsberettiget efter grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. iii) og artikel 6, litra d).
To the extent that prices are above market prices and a benefit is conferred by the State on OCS producers through its purchasers SOEs, this programme is countervailable according to Article 3(1)(a)(iii) and Article 6(d) of the basic Regulation.
Der skal også tages hensyn til, at påstanden i klagen om, at der ikke foreligger pålidelige privatpriser på markedet på grund af den offentlige sektors dominans på stålmarkedet, er blevet bekræftet af undersøgelsen, da statsejede virksomheder har en stor andel af stålmarkedet i Kina, i det mindste hvad angår varmvalset stål og koldvalset stål (se betragtning 76-79.
It also needs to be considered that the complaint allegation that there is no reliable private price in the market because of the predominance of the public sector in the steel market has been confirmed by the investigation as SOEs have a predominant share in the steel market in China at least with regard to hot-rolled steel and cold-rolled steel (see recitals (76) to (79)).
Subsidierne er også specifikke efter grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 2, da de er begrænset til enheder, som staten har en økonomisk interesse i, inden for stålsektoren.
This subsidy is also specific under Article 4(2) of the basic Regulation as it is restricted only to selected entities participated by the State in the steel sector.
Disse transaktioners og de bagvedliggende kontrakters komplicerede karakter har sammen med de utilstrækkelige oplysninger i sagen gjort det umuligt for Kommissionen at nå til en fast konklusion om dette program.
However, the complexity of these transactions and of the underlying contracts coupled with the lack of the necessary details on the record did not enable the Commission to come to a firm conclusion on this programme.
ANDRE REGIONALPROGRAMMER
OTHER REGIONAL PROGRAMMES
Den kinesiske regerings manglende samarbejdsvilje
Non-cooperation by the GOC
Den kinesiske regering svarede, at ingen af producenterne i stikprøven var beliggende i de områder, der var omfattet af regionalprogrammerne, jf. dette afsnit, og de oplysninger, som Kommissionen bad om, var derfor ikke af relevans for undersøgelsen.
The Government of China replied that as none of the sampled producers was located in the areas of application of the regional programmes included in this section, the information requested by the Commission was irrelevant for the investigation.
I lyset af disse oplysningers relevans for undersøgelsen (jf. betragtning 34-35) baserer Kommissionen, eftersom den kinesiske regering ikke har afgivet noget svar, sin afgørelse om alle regionalprogrammerne i dette afsnit på de foreliggende oplysninger i sagen i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 28.
Given the relevance of this information for the investigation (see recitals (34) - (35) above), in the absence of a reply by the GOC the Commission is basing its decision on all the regional programmes in this section on the facts available on file in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Retsgrundlaget for den fremskyndede afskrivningsordning er finansministeriets og statsskatteforvaltningens cirkulære om dermed forbundne politikker for favorable beskatningsordninger for virksomheder vedrørende subsidier til udvikling og åbenhed i Binhai New Area of Tianjin.
The legal basis of the Accelerated Depreciation scheme is the Circular of the Ministry of Finance and the State Administration of Taxation concerning the Related Preferential Policies of Enterprise Income Tax for Supporting the Development and Openness of Binhai New Area of Tianjin.
Det blev hævdet i klagen, at sigtet med programmet er at fremme etableringen af forskningsteknologisk infrastruktur i Tianjin Binhai New Area (TBNA) og Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area (TETDA) samt at bygge et forskningsteknologisk renoveringssystem og servicefaciliteter.
The complaint alleged that the programme aims to promote the construction of science-technology infrastructure in the Tianjin Binhai New Area (TBNA) and the Tianjin Economic and Technological Development Area (TETDA) and build a science-technology renovation system and service abilities.
I henhold til klagen blev de finansielle fordele under programmet ydet under forsknings- og teknologifonden og under det fremskyndede afskrivningsprogram.
According to the complaint, financial benefits under this programme were granted under the Science and Technology Fund and under the Accelerated Depreciation Programme.
Disse fordele skulle være begrænset til virksomheder etableret i TBNA's administrationsudvalgs jurisdiktion, herunder virksomheder, der producerer/eksporterer den pågældende vare.
These benefits would be limited to enterprises established in the TBNA Administrative Committee's jurisdiction, including companies producing/exporting the product concerned.
I klagen henvistes der til de amerikanske myndigheders afgørelse i antisubsidiesagen vedrørende visse sømløse standard-, lednings- og trykrør af kulstofstål eller legeret stål fra Kina, som konkluderede, at programmet var udligningsberettiget [82].
The complaint referred to the decision by the US authorities in the countervailing proceeding concerning certain seamless carbon and alloy steel standard, line, and pressure pipe from the People's Republic of China, which found this programme countervailable [82].
På grund af de kinesiske myndigheders manglende svar baserer Kommissionen i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 28 sin afgørelse om dette program på de bedste tilgængelige oplysninger i klagen og i den nævnte afgørelse fra de amerikanske myndigheder.
In the absence of cooperation by the GOC, the Commission bases its decision on this programme on the best information available in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation contained in the complaint and in the mentioned decision by the US authorities.
Dette program giver modtagervirksomhederne en ikke-tilbagevendende fordel i form af subsidier under forsknings- og teknologifonden efter grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. i), (direkte overførsel af midler) og i form af indtægt, som staten giver afkald på, jf. artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. ii), for så vidt angår programmet om fremskyndet afskrivning.
This programme confers a non-recurring benefit to the recipient companies in the form of grants under the Science and Technology Fund in the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation (direct transfer of funds) and in the form of revenue forgone under Article 3(1)(a)(ii) of the basic Regulation as concerns the Accelerated Depreciation Programme.
Subsidierne under både forsknings- og teknologifonden og programmet om fremskyndet afskrivning er specifikke efter grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 3, eftersom de er begrænsede til bestemte virksomheder, der er beliggende i afgrænsede geografiske områder (dvs. TBNA og/eller TETDA).
The subsidies under the Science and Technology Fund and under the Accelerated Depreciation Programme are specific within the meaning of Article 4(3) of the basic Regulation as they are limited to certain enterprises located within designated geographical regions (i.e. the TBNA and/or the TETDA).
Eftersom der ikke forelå nogen nøjagtig kvantificering andetsteds, var den mest hensigtsmæssige informationskilde med henblik på vurderingen af fordelen for de eksporterende producenter en sammenlignelig afgørelse truffet af de amerikanske myndigheder i en sag om udligningstold, nemlig US Decision Memorandum of 10 September 2010 on Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe (side 20 og 21) (Federal Register Vol. 75, No. 182, side 57444 / 21. september 2010).
In the absence of precise quantification elsewhere, the most appropriate source of information for the assessment of the benefit to the exporting producers has been a comparable decision by the US authorities, namely the US Decision Memorandum of 10 September 2010 on Certain Seamless Carbon and Alloy Steel Standard, Line, and Pressure Pipe (Pages Nos 20 and 21) (Federal Register Vol. 75, No. 182, page 57444 / 21 September 2010).
Med hensyn til de amerikanske myndigheders undersøgelser bemærkes det, at den metode, der er anvendt til at beregne fordelen ved skatte- og tilskudsprogrammer, i alt væsentligt er den samme som den, der anvendes af Unionen [83].
With regard to investigations conducted by the US authorities, it is noted that the methodology used for calculating the amount of benefit from tax and grant programmes is substantially the same as that employed by the Union [83].
Den således fastlagte samlede subsidiesats for UP for alle ikke-samarbejdsvillige virksomheder, er 0,61 %, hvilket svarer til den akkumulerede sats for de pågældende ordninger fastlagt i den i foregående betragtning nævnte afgørelse.
The total subsidy rate thus established during the IP for all non-cooperating companies is set at 0,61 % which corresponds to the accumulated rate for the schemes concerned as established in the decision referred to in the preceding recital.
Genopretningsprogrammet for den nordøstlige region
The Northeast Revitalization Programme
Retsgrundlaget er finansministeriets og statsforvaltningens cirkulære om tryk og distribution af forordninger om relevante emner med hensyn til udvidelse af momsfradragsretten i de nordøstlige områder af 14. september 2004.
The legal basis is the Circular of the Ministry of Finance and State Tax Administration on Printing and Distributing the Regulations on Relevant Issues with respect to Expansion of VAT Deduction Scope in the Northeast Areas of 14 September 2004.
Klageren påstod, at den kinesiske regering indførte genopretningsprogrammet for den nordøstlige region i 2003 for at genoprette det gamle industrigrundlag i Dalian og de tre nordøstlige provinser Liaoning, Jilin og Heilongjiang, der er det traditionelle centrum for Kinas stålindustri.
The complainant affirmed that the GOC established the Northeast Revitalisation Programme in 2003 to revive the old industrial base of Dalian City and the three Northeast Provinces of Liaoning, Jilin and Heilongjiang, which is the traditional centre of China's steel industry.
Ifølge klageren har den kinesiske regering oprettet en specialbank, Northeast Revitalisation Bank (NRB), under statsrådets kontrol med mandat til at finansiere subsidierne til genopretningen af den gamle sværindustri i den nordøstlige region.
According to the complaint, the GOC has created a special bank, the Northeast Revitalisation Bank (NRB) under the control of the State Council with a mandate to finance the support for the revitalisation of Northeast old heavy industrial hub.
Klageren nævnte også subsidier ydet under dette program af Export-Import Bank of China ("ExIm Bank") gennem dennes afdeling i Dalian til et samlet beløb af 5 mia. RMB i eksportkredit og andre "lavpriskreditter" til en værdi af 150 mio. RMB i besparelser for lokale virksomheder siden november 2003.
The complaint also referred to subsidies provided under this programme by the Export-Import Bank of China ("ExIm Bank") through its Dalian branch for a total amount of RMB 5 billion in export credits and other "low-cost credit" worth RMB 150 million in savings for local enterprises since November 2003.
Klageren anførte desuden, at der også blev ydet lån til ikke kreditværdige virksomheder for at forbedre konkurrenceevnen for skrantende statsejede virksomheder, der havde en uforholdsmæssig adgang til finansielle ressourcer, selv om de havde landets største andel af misligholdte lån.
The complaint also reported that loans were also extended to non-creditworthy enterprises to enhance the competitiveness of ailing SOEs, which enjoyed a disproportionate access to financial resources despite having the highest share of non-performing loans in the country.
På grund af den kinesiske regerings manglende samarbejdsvilje baserer Kommissionen sin afgørelse om dette program på oplysningerne i klagen og US Decision Memorandum of 17 November 2008 on Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe (Line Pipe) (side 21 og 22) (Federal Register Vol. 73, No. 227, side 70961 / 24. november 2008), om nødvendigt behørigt tilpasset som nævnt i betragtning 252 ovenfor.
In the absence of cooperation by the GOC, the Commission bases its decision on this programme on the information contained in the complaint and in the US Decision Memorandum of 17 November 2008 on Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe (Line Pipe) (Pages 21 and 22) (Federal Register Vol. 73, No. 227, page 70961 / 24 November 2008), duly adjusted if needed as mentioned in recital (252) above.
Dette program giver de modtagende virksomheder en fordel i form af:
This programme confers an advantage to the recipient companies in the form of:
Med hensyn til i) rentetilskud i forbindelse med eksport udgør rentetilskuddene subsidier i form af et tilskud i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. i).
With regard to (i) export interest subsidies, the provision of interest subsidies constitutes a subsidy in the form of grant within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation.
I de amerikanske myndigheders afgørelse betegnes dette program "Foreign Trade Development Fund" og ikke "Northeast Revitalisation Programme" som også nævnt i klagen.
The US decision refers to this programme as the "Foreign Trade Development Fund" rather than the "Northeast Revitalisation Programme", as also mentioned in the complaint.
Programmet forvaltes af myndighederne i provinsen Liaoning (nærmere betegnet af Liaoning-provinsens kontor for udenrigshandel og økonomisk samarbejde og finansdepartementet i Liaoning).
This programme is managed by the Liaoning provincial authorities (namely the Liaoning Provincial Bureau of Foreign Trade and Economic Cooperation and the Liaoning Department of Finance).
