Undersøgelsen har etableret en årsagssammenhæng mellem den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, og dumpingimporten fra Kina.
The investigation has established a causal link between the material injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from the PRC.
Andre mulige årsager til skaden, såsom importen fra andre tredjelande, forbruget, faste afregningspriser, anden finansiel støtte til EU-erhvervsgrenen, overkapacitet, råvareprisernes indvirkning, selvforskyldt skade, konkurrence fra tynd film, den finansielle krise og dens virkninger, EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater, fundet af skifergasforekomster i Den Europæiske Union, ledelsesbeslutninger, Den Europæiske Unions emissionshandelssystem og andre offentlige politikker blev analyseret, og ingen af dem var af et sådan omfang, at de kunne bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen blev påført.
Other possible causes of injury, such as imports from other third countries, consumption, feed-in-tariffs, other financial support granted to the Union industry, overcapacity, impact of raw material prices, self-inflicted injury, competition from thin-film, financial crisis and its effects, export performance of the Union industry, the discovery of shale gas deposits in the Union, managements decisions, the European Union’s Emissions Trading Schemes, other government policies were analysed and none of them was found to be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
På grundlag af ovenstående analyse, hvor der behørigt blev skelnet mellem alle de kendte faktorer, der har betydning for EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten, konkluderedes det derfor foreløbigt, at der er en årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den væsentlige skade, der er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen i UP.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it was therefore provisionally concluded that there was a causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Unionens interesser blev analyseret på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenens, leverandørers og brugeres interesser i den fotovoltaiske sektor, importørernes, brugernes og forbrugernes interesser i forbindelse med den pågældende vare.
The analysis of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, companies in the upstream and downstream markets of the PV sector, importers, users and consumers of the product concerned.
Henved 150 erhvervsdrivende gav sig til kende efter indledningen af undersøgelsen.
Around 150 operators made themselves known after the initiation of the investigation.
Der blev sendt særlige spørgeskemaer til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører, leverandører (herunder en råvareproducent og leverandører af produktionsudstyr til den undersøgte vare), brugere (herunder projektudviklere og installatører) og BEUC — en forbrugerorganisation.
Specific questionnaires were sent to unrelated importers, upstream operators (including a raw material producer and suppliers of production equipment for the product under investigation), downstream operators (including project developers and installers) and BEUC — a consumer organisation.
Tre sammenslutninger, der repræsenterer forskellige erhvervsdrivende (EU-erhvervsdrivende, leverandører og brugere) i den fotovoltaiske sektor indsendte oplysninger.
Three associations representing various operators (Union industry, upstream and downstream operators) in the PV sector submitted information.
EU-erhvervsgrenen beskæftigede ca. 25000 personer direkte i UP i produktion og salg af samme vare.
The Union industry directly employed about 25000 people in the IP in the production and sale of the like product.
Der mindes om, at en række skadesindikatorer viste en negativ tendens i den betragtede periode.
It is recalled that a number of injury indicators showed a negative trend during the period considered.
Navnlig skadesindikatorerne vedrørende de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters finansielle resultater, såsom rentabilitet, likviditet og investeringsafkast, blev påvirket i alvorlig grad.
In particular, injury indicators related to the financial performance of the cooperating Union producers, such as profitability, cash flow and return on investments were seriously affected.
EU-producenterne af moduler, celler og wafere havde faktisk tab i 2011 og UP.
In fact, the Union producers of modules, cells and wafers were loss making in 2011 and in the IP.
Visse EU-producenter blev derfor nødt til at lukke deres produktionsanlæg, mens andre gik konkurs.
Consequently, some Union producers were already forced to close down their production facilities while some others have faced insolvency.
Det forventes, at indførelsen af en midlertidig antidumpingtold vil genoprette redelige handelsvilkår på EU-markedet og sætte EU-erhvervsgrenen i stand til at tilpasse priserne på samme vare, så de afspejler produktionsomkostningerne, hvorved den kan forbedre rentabiliteten.
It is expected that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties will restore fair trade conditions on the Union market, allowing the Union industry to align the prices of the like product to reflect the costs of production thus improving its profitability.
Det kan også forventes, at indførelsen af midlertidige foranstaltninger vil betyde, at EU-erhvervsgrenen kan genvinde i det mindste en del af den markedsandel, der blev tabt i den betragtede periode, med positive virkninger for den overordnede økonomiske situation.
It can also be expected that the imposition of provisional measures would enable the Union industry to regain at least part of the market share lost during the period considered, with a positive impact on its overall financial situation.
Derudover burde EU-erhvervsgrenen være i stand til at få bedre adgang til kapital og foretage yderligere investeringer i FoU og innovation på solenergimarkedet.
Moreover the Union industry should be able to have better access to capital and to further invest in R & D and innovation in the PV market.
Endelig pegede undersøgelsen også på en mulig genstart af aktiviteterne hos de EU-producenter, der blev tvunget til at indstille produktionen som følge af presset fra den kinesiske import.
Finally, the investigation also pointed to a possible restarting of the business activity of the Union producers who were forced to stop the production as a result of the pressure of the Chinese imports.
Med dette scenarie vil ikke blot de eksisterende 25000 arbejdspladser i EU-erhvervsgrenen (i UP) blive sikret, men der ville også være en rimelig udsigt for ydereligere produktionsudvidelser og øget beskæftigelse.
Overall, under this scenario, not only the existing 25000 jobs of the Union industry (in the IP) would be secured but there would also be a reasonable prospect for further production expansion and increase in employment.
Hvis der ikke indføres foranstaltninger, forventes der yderligere tab i markedsandele med en yderligere forværring af EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet til følge.
Should measures not be imposed, further losses in the market share are expected with a further deterioration of the Union industry’s profitability.
Dette ville ikke være bæredygtigt på kort til mellemlang sigt.
This would be unsustainable in the short to medium-term.
Udover de mange EU-producenter, der allerede er blevet tvunget ud af markedet, jf. betragtning 157, kunne andre producenter således være i fare for konkurs, hvilket på kort til mellemlang sigt sandsynligvis ville betyde, at EU-erhvervsgrenen går i opløsning, hvilket vil få alvorlige konsekvenser for eksisterende arbejdspladser.
As a consequence, in addition to the large number of the Union producers that were already forced out of the market as described in recital 157 above, other producers could be facing insolvency which would in the short to medium term lead to a likely disappearance of the Union industry with the consequent significant impact of the existing jobs.
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at det vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse, at der indføres en antidumpingtold.
It was therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of the anti-dumping duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Som nævnt i betragtning 12 havde kun en af de tre importører i stikprøven handel med den pågældende vare som kerneaktivitet.
As mentioned in recital 12 above, for only one out of three sampled importers the major business activity consisted in trading the product concerned.
Det blev påstået, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for den pågældende vare vil påvirke importørernes aktiviteter negativt.
An argument was put forward that the imposition of measures on the product concerned will negatively affect the importers’ business activity.
For det første vil indførelsen af en told ikke betyde, at der ikke længere importeres fra Kina.
Firstly, the imposition of duties should not result in the elimination of all imports from the PRC.
Selv om det kan forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger kan få en negativ virkning for den økonomiske situation hos importører, der udelukkende importerer fra Kina, i lyset af den sandsynlige stigning i importen fra andre tredjelande, vil importører, der importerer fra forskellige lande for det andet være i stand til at foretage et skift i deres forsyningskilder.
Secondly, although it can be expected that the imposition of measures may have a negative effect on the financial situation of the importers importing only from the PRC, in view of the likely increase of imports from other third countries, the importers sourcing from different countries should be in the position to shift their sources of supply
Det konkluderes derfor foreløbigt, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger på de foreslåede niveauer kan få visse negative virkninger for ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører af den pågældende vare.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of measures at the proposed level may have a certain negative impact on the situation of unrelated importers of the product concerned.
Leverandørernes interesser
Interest of the upstream operators
Leverandørerne beskæftiger sig hovedsagelig med produktion af råvarer og produktion og udformning af produktionsudstyr til fremstilling af den undersøgte vare.
The upstream operators are mainly active in the production of the raw materials and in the production and engineering of the manufacturing equipment for the product under investigation.
Kommissionen modtog otte spørgeskemabesvarelser fra leverandører.
Eight replies were received to the questionnaires from the upstream operators.
Der blev gennemført to kontrolbesøg hos en råvareproducent og en producent af produktionsudstyr.
Two verification visits were carried out covering a raw material producer and a producer of manufacturing equipment.
De otte samarbejdsvillige leverandørers aktiviteter i forbindelse med den undersøgte vare varierede i UP generelt i forhold til deres samlede aktivitet og udgjorde kun 100 % af aktiviteterne hos én samarbejdsvillig virksomhed, mens de for de andre varierede mellem 6 % og 80 %.
Overall, during the IP, the activity of the eight cooperating upstream operators related to the product under investigation varied in proportion to their total activity and only for one cooperating company represented 100 % of its business, while for the others it varied between 6 and 80 %.
I gennemsnit udgjorde aktiviteterne i forbindelse med den pågældende vare ca. 41 % af de samarbejdsvillige leverandørers samlede aktiviteter i UP.
On average, in the IP, the activity related to the product concerned represented around 41 % of the total activity of the cooperating upstream operators.
De otte samarbejdsvillige leverandører beskæftigede ca. 4200 personer i UP.
In terms of jobs, the eight cooperating upstream operators employed in the IP about 4200 people.
Rentabiliteten varierede afhængigt af segmentet og den enkelte virksomhed fra høje rentabilitetstal til en lidt negativ rentabilitet.
Profitability varied according to segment and individual company from high rates to slightly negative profitability.
Undersøgelsen viste, at leverandører med en negativ rentabilitet led under forværringen af EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, da nogle af de kunder, de mistede, var EU-producenter af den undersøgte vare, og led under faldet i forbruget.
The investigation showed that those operators with a negative profitability suffered from the deteriorated situation of the Union industry, as some of the clients they lost were Union producers of the product under investigation, and from the decline in consumption.
EU-leverandørernes salg omfattede Unionen, Kina og andre tredjelande.
The sales of the Union upstream operators covered the Union, the PRC and other third countries.
I UP fordelte salget sig med i gennemsnit ca. 20 % i Unionen, næsten 50 % til Kina og ca. 30 % til andre tredjelande.
In the IP the repartition of the sales corresponded on average to around 20 % of sales in the Union, almost 50 % to the PRC and around 30 % to other third countries.
Visse parter i leverandørsegmentet påstod, at indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger vil påvirke deres aktiviteter negativt, da Kina er deres vigtigste eksportmarked.
Some parties in the upstream sector claimed that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would affect their business activities negatively as the PRC is their main exporting market.
Det blev påstået, at tolden i alvorlig grad ville begrænse importen af den pågældende vare fra Kina til Unionen, og at Kina derfor ville begrænse importen af polysilicium og produktionsudstyr fra Unionen.
It was argued that the duties would seriously limit the imports of the product concerned from the PRC to the Union as a result of which the PRC would limit the imports of polysilicon and production equipment from the Union.
EU-leverandørerne i Unionen ville derfor angiveligt blive nødt til at neddrosle deres aktiviteter og reducere antallet af medarbejdere.
As a consequence, the Union upstream operators in the Union would allegedly need to scale down their business activities and reduce employment.
Det skal først bemærkes, at hensigten med en told ikke er at afskaffe den kinesiske import af den pågældende vare, men at genskabe redelige konkurrenceforhold.
It is first noted that the aim of the duty is not to eliminate the Chinese imports of the product concerned but to restore a level playing field.
Der vil derfor fortsat importeres fra Kina til EU-markedet i et vist omfang, men til redelige priser.
Thus the Chinese imports should continue to supply the Union market to a certain degree, but at fair prices.
Desuden viste undersøgelsen, at EU-leverandører er til stede globalt på forskellige nationale markeder og derfor ikke udelukkende afhænger af deres eksport til Kina.
Furthermore, the investigation showed that the Union upstream operators are present globally on different national markets and therefore do not depend exclusively on their export to the PRC.
Det kan således med rimelighed antages, at EU-leverandører på det globale fotovoltaiske marked sandsynligvis vil kunne kompensere eventuelle fald i eksporten til Kina med eksport til andre markeder, som i henhold til offentligt tilgængelige markedsundersøgelser forventes af vokse.
It is thus reasonable to assume that in the global PV market, Union upstream operators would likely be able to compensate the eventual decrease in the export to the PRC by the export to the other markets which according to publicly available market studies are expected to grow.
Under alle omstændigheder står det fotovoltaiske marked i Kina allerede over for en omfattende overkapacitet, og det er derfor tvivlsomt, om EU-producenter af maskiner vil være i stand til at sælge mere produktionsudstyr på kort til mellemlang sigt.
In any case, the Chinese PV market is already facing a significant production overcapacity and therefore it is doubtful whether the Union machinery producers would be able to sell much more of manufacturing equipment in the short to medium term.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderes det foreløbigt, at antidumpingtolden ikke vil få en væsentlig indvirkning på maskinproducenterne, hvorimod indvirkningen på råvareleverandører kan blive negativ på kort sigt på grund af muligheden for begrænset salg til Kina.
In view of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the impact of the anti-dumping duties on the machinery producers would not be significant, while the impact on the raw material supplier may be negative in the short term in view of the possible reduction of its sales to the PRC.
Aftagernes interesser
Interest of downstream operators
Aftagerne beskæftiger sig hovedsagelig med projektudvikling, markedsføring og kommunikation og installation af solcelleanlæg.
The downstream operators are mainly active in project development, marketing and communications and PV installations.
Der blev modtaget 13 spørgeskemabesvarelser fra aftagere, men kun syv var tilstrækkeligt fuldstændige til at indgå i en relevant analyse.
While 13 replies to the downstream questionnaires were received from the downstream operators only seven were sufficiently complete and allowed for meaningful assessment.
Der blev gennemført to kontrolbesøg, der omfattede fotovoltaisk projektudvikling og installation.
Two verification visits were carried out covering the PV project development and installations.
Ved analysen af spørgeskemabesvarelserne fra de 36 samarbejdsvillige ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører viste det sig, at en række af dem egentlig burde betegnes som aftagere, da deres kerneaktiviteter er installation.
When analysing the questionnaire replies received from the 36 cooperating unrelated importers, it turned out that a certain number of them may actually have to be qualified as downstream operators, as their main activity is installation.
Dette spørgsmål vil blive yderligere undersøgt i løbet af undersøgelsen.
This issue will be further investigated in the further course of the investigation.
Generelt varierer aftagernes aktivitet i forbindelse med den undersøgte vare i forhold til deres samlede aktivitet.
Overall, the activity of the downstream operators in relation to the product under investigation varies as compared to their total activity.
I gennemsnit udgjorde den 41 % i UP.
On average, in the IP, it represented 41 %.
Det blev påstået, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne ikke er i Unionens interesser, da de vil øge prisen på moduler og derved afholde slutbrugerne/forbrugerne fra at installere solcelleanlæg.
An argument was raised that the anti-dumping measures are not in the interest of the Union as they will increase the price of modules, thus discouraging the end-users/consumers from making installations.
Aftagerne ville derved få færre ordrer og være nødt til at foretage nedskæringer.
Consequently, the downstream operators would have far fewer orders and would have to scale down their businesses.
Denne vurdering blev baseret på en undersøgelse fra Prognos om det mulige jobtab, som blev indsendt i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
This assessment was based on a study by Prognos on the possible loss of jobs submitted in the course of investigation.
Undersøgelsen forudser, at størstedelen af arbejdspladserne i den fotovoltaiske sektor i Unionen er i fare, hvis der indføres foranstaltninger.
The study foresees that the great majority of jobs in the PV market of the Union are in danger, if duties are imposed.
Undersøgelsen tager udgangspunkt i en vurdering fra den europæiske sammenslutning af solcellefabrikanter (European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA)), som anslår antallet af direkte job i 2011 i alle faser af Unionens fotovoltaiske sektor, inkl. EU-producenter, importører, leverandører og aftagere, til 265000.
The study uses an estimation by the European Photovoltaic Industry Association (EPIA) according to which the total number of direct jobs existing in 2011 at all stages of the Union PV market including Union producers, importers, the upstream and downstream operators is 265000.
Med udgangspunkt i vurderingen fra 2011 af det samlede antal direkte job i den fotovoltaiske sektor konkluderede undersøgelsen fra Prognos, at ud af de 265000 job ville indtil 242000 gå tabt inden tre år, afhængigt af toldens niveau.
Taking as a starting point the 2011 estimation on the total direct PV jobs, the study by Prognos concluded that out of 265000 jobs up to 242000 jobs will be lost in three years, depending on the level of duties.
De fleste jobtab vil angiveligt finde sted i aftagersektoren, som ifølge Prognos i 2011 beskæftigede ca. 220000 personer.
Most of the job losses will allegedly occur in the downstream market, which in 2011 was said by Prognos to employ about 220000 people.
Undersøgelsen bekræftede ikke ovenstående scenarie og pegede i retning af et meget lavere antal direkte job i Unionens fotovoltaiske sektor i 2011, i UP og i 2012.
The investigation did not confirm the above scenario and pointed to a much lower number of direct jobs existing in the Union PV market in 2011, during the IP and in 2012.
Indledningsvis stillede undersøgelsen tvivl ved nøjagtigheden af det samlede antal direkte job i den fotovoltaiske sektor, som blev anslået af den europæiske sammenslutning af solcellefabrikanter.
To start with, the investigation raised doubt as to the accuracy of the total number of direct PV jobs as estimated by the European PV association.
Under kontrolbesøget hos EPIA viste det sig navnlig, at de underliggende data, der førte til konklusionen om 265000, var unøjagtige og ikke burde føre til en sådan konklusion.
In particular, during the verification visit at the EPIA, it turned out that the underlying data leading to a conclusion of 265000 was imprecise and did not allow for such conclusion.
Faktisk viste de oplysninger, der blev indhentet under kontrolbesøget, at antallet af direkte job i den fotovoltaiske sektor beregnet for 2011 havde en fejlmargen på indtil 20 %.
In fact, the information obtained during the verification visit indicates that the number of direct PV jobs calculated for 2011 would have a margin of error of up to 20 %.
Desuden omfatter estimationen beskæftigelse i andre europæiske lande end Den Europæiske Union og beskæftigelse i forbindelse med produkter af tynd folie, som falder uden for undersøgelsens varedækning.
In addition, the estimation includes employment in other European countries outside the Union as well the employment related to thin film product, which falls outside the scope of this investigation.
Til trods for disse tvivlsspørgsmål og selv om den oprindelige estimation af job blev anvendt til at analysere foranstaltningernes indvirkning, må der fremsættes følgende bemærkninger.
Despite these doubts, even if the original estimation of jobs was used to analyse the impact on the measures the following remarks must be made.
Estimationen omfatter job i den fotovoltaiske sektor i Europa i 2011, som var knyttet til et stort antal installationer af solcelleanlæg i EU samme år (ca. 20 GW).
The estimation covers the European PV jobs in 2011, which was correlated with a very high number of PV installations in the EU that year (about 20 GW).
I lyset af faldet i antallet af installationer på ca. 17,5 GW i UP og 15 GW i 2012 kan det med rimelighed antages, at antallet af job især i aftagersektoren, som er direkte knyttet til antallet af installationer, faldt tilsvarende.
It is reasonable to assume that in view of the decline in installations reaching about 17,5 GW in the IP and 15 GW in 2012 the number of downstream jobs in particular, as directly correlated to the level of installations decreased accordingly.
