På grund af det hurtigt voksende EU-forbrug svandt denne overskydende kapacitet frem til 2011, da EU-produktionskapaciteten — skønt den voksede — voksede i et lavere tempo end EU-forbruget.
The price comparison was made on a product type-by-product type basis for transactions at the same level of trade, duly adjusted as set out in the recital above, and after deduction of rebates and discounts.
Produktionskapaciteten fortsatte med at vokse i 2012, hvorimod EU-forbruget faldt.
The result of the comparison, when expressed as a percentage of the sampled Union producers’ turnover during the IP, showed a weighted average undercutting margin per company between 10,6 % and 26,7 % of the prices of the sampled Union producers by the subsidised imports of the product concerned.
Produktionen voksede fra 2009 til 2011, hvorefter den faldt med 30 % i UP.
Economic situation of the Union industry
Det førte til et voldsomt fald i kapacitetsudnyttelsen i UP i forhold til de foregående år.
In accordance with Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation, the examination of the impact of the subsidised imports on the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered.
Selv om EU-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode udvidede sin kapacitet som reaktion på et øget forbrug, voksede EU-erhvervsgrenens produktionsniveauer i et lavere tempo end forbruget, og kapacitetsudnyttelsen faldt efter en betydelig stigning i de første tre år af den betragtede periode i UP, hvilket faldt sammen med en øget markedsandel for den subsidierede import fra det pågældende land og den illoyale konkurrence, som EU-erhvervsgrenens vigtigste brugerkunder i solpanelsektoren blev udsat for på grund af kinesisk dumping og subsidiering i samme sektor.
As explained in Section A.3.2 above, sampling was used for the examination of the possible injury suffered by the Union industry.
Salgsmængde og markedsandel
For the purpose of the injury analysis, the Commission distinguished between macroeconomic and microeconomic injury indicators.
EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde og markedsandel udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
The Commission analysed the macroeconomic indicators for the period considered on the basis of the data provided by Glass for Europe and the complainant relating to all Union producers.
Tabel 5
The Commission analysed the microeconomic indicators on the basis of the sampled Union producers’ questionnaire responses.
Salgsmængde (1000 m2)
For the purpose of this investigation, the following macroeconomic indicators were assessed: production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of the subsidy margin and recovery from past subsidy.
I løbet af den betragtede periode voksede EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde med 22,7 %.
The following microeconomic indicators were assessed: average unit prices, unit cost, labour costs, inventories, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital.
En situation med en vækst i EU-forbruget på 65 % førte imidlertid til et fald i EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel fra 88,6 % i 2009 til 65,8 % i UP, med andre ord et fald på 25,7 % i den betragtede periode.
One exporting producer claimed that the Commission has failed to conduct the injury analysis in line with Article 8(1) and Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation as it conducted the injury analysis on the basis of two separate and allegedly inconsistent sets of data, that is to say the macro- and microeconomic injury indicators.
EU-erhvervsgrenens salg voksede meget mindre end den subsidierede import fra det pågældende land.
It further contends that the alleged inconsistency of the analysis based on the two sets of data casts serious doubts on the appropriateness, fairness and objectivity of the overall injury picture.
Som følge heraf var EU-producenterne derfor ikke i stand til fuldt ud at udnytte det voksende forbrug, og deres markedsandel faldt derfor i den betragtede periode.
The same party quoted a number of prior investigaitons where allegedly the Union institutions defined in an inconsistent way different sets of data as belonging either to macro or micro data.
Vækst
The Commission cannot accept this claim.
EU-erhvervsgrenens vækst afspejles i dens mængdeindikatorer som f.eks. produktion, salg og i dens markedsandel set i forhold til udviklingen i forbruget.
This is a methodology applicable in sampling cases in order to analyse the situation of the Union industry and to take into consideration not only the trends displayed by the sample but also those by the Union industry as a whole.
Trods en vækst i forbruget i den betragtede periode voksede EU-producenternes markedsandel ikke i takt med forbruget.
All the factors prescribed by Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation were considered in the analysis.
EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel faldt i den betragtede periode.
The conclusion on injury is also drawn on the basis of them all.
I samme periode voksede markedsandelen for importen fra Kina med 321 %.
Accordingly, the injury analysis was conducted in line with Article 8(1) and Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation.
Det forhold, at EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke kunne vokse i takt med væksten på markedet havde alt i alt en negativ indvirkning på dens økonomiske situation.
Macroeconomic indicators
Beskæftigelse og produktivitet
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Beskæftigelsen og produktiviteten udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
The total Union production, production capacity and capacity utilisation developed as follows over the period considered:
Produktivitet (1000 m2/FTÆ)
Production capacity (1000 m2)
Samlet set voksede beskæftigelsen med 52 % mellem 2009 og UP.
Index 2009
Væksten fandt imidlertid sted i perioden frem til 2011, hvor beskæftigelsen var på sit højeste med 932 fultidsækvivalenter (FTÆ), og efterfølgende faldt den til 857 FTÆ i UP.
production volume (1000 m2)
Produktiviteten voksede kun ganske lidt i 2010 og i 2011 i forhold til i 2009.
Capacity utilisation
Dette skyldes til dels, at produktionen af samme vare er yderst automatiseret og kræver få medarbejdere.
Production of the Union industry increased over the period considered in line with consumption.
Derfor faldt beskæftigelsen i UP som reaktion på tendensen i EU-produktionen af samme vare i UP.
Already at the beginning of the period considered, the Union industry had excess production capacity.
Subsidiemargenens størrelse og genrejsning efter tidligere subsidiering
Due to the fast growth of Union consumption, that excess capacity shrank until 2011, as Union production capacity – although growing – grew less rapidly than Union consumption.
Alle subsidiemargenerne ligger væsentligt over bagatelgrænsen.
Production capacity kept growing in 2012, whereas Union consumption declined.
I betragtning af importmængderne og -priserne fra det pågældende land kan indvirkningen af størrelsen af de faktiske subsidiemargener på EU-erhvervsgrenen betragtes som væsentlig.
Production grew from 2009 until 2011 and then dropped by 30 % in the IP.
Da dette er den første antisubsidieundersøgelse vedrørende den pågældende vare, er genrejsning efter tidligere subsidiering ikke relevant i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Due to the existing capacities, the Union industry could rapidly ramp up production to meet the strong growth in Union demand until 2011.
Mikroøkonomiske indikatorer
At the same time, as a reaction to the growth observed from 2009 until 2011, the Union industry added further capacity, which partially only came into production in the IP.
Som nævnt ovenfor analyseres de mikroøkonomiske indikatorer ud fra spørgeskemabesvarelserne fra EU-producenterne i stikprøven.
That resulted in a sharp decline in capacity utilisation in the IP, compared to previous years.
For de fleste EU-producenter i stikprøven var 2009 det år, hvor de foretog de første investeringer og startede produktionen af samme vare.
Even if during the period considered the Union industry expanded its capacity in response to an increased consumption, the Union industry’s production levels increased at a lower rate than the consumption and the capacity utilisation after a substantial increase in the first three years of the period considered, decreased during the investigation period, which coincided with an increased market share of the subsidised imports from the country concerned and the unfair competition encountered by the Union industry’s main user customers in the solar panels sector due to Chinese dumping and subsidisation established in that sector as well.
Selv om størstedelen af EU-producenterne i stikprøven allerede var i glaserhvervet, måtte alle virksomheder investere i anlæg til solcelleglas, som er fuldstændig uafhængige af normal glasproduktion, fordi renheden og jernindholdet i glasset er meget anderledes ligesom den overordnede kvalitet.
Sales volume and market share
Desuden skal glasset hærdes, hvilket ikke er tilfældet med almindeligt glas.
The Union industry’s sales volume and market share developed as follows over the period considered:
Til sidst overfladebehandles det.
Table 5
Priser og faktorer, som påvirker priserne
Sales volume (1000 m2)
De gennemsnitlige salgspriser hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven ved salg til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder i Unionen udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
During the period considered the Union industry’s sales volume increased by 22,7 %.
Tabel 7
However, in the context of an increase in Union consumption by 65 %, this was translated into a decrease of the Union industry’s market share from 88,6 % in 2009 to 65,8 % during the IP, that is to say, a decrease by 25,7 % over the period considered.
Gennemsnitlige salgspriser i Unionen
The Union industry’s sales grew much less than the subsidised imports from the country concerned.
Kilde: EU-producenternes spørgeskemabesvarelser
Consequently, the Union producers could not fully benefit from the growing consumption and thus their market share decreased during the period considered.
Gennemsnitlig enhedssalgspris på EU-markedet (EUR/m2)
Growth
Indeks 2010
The growth of the Union industry is reflected in its volume indicators such as production, sales and in its market share, when compared with developments in consumption.
Enheds-produktions-omkostninger (EUR/m2)
Despite an increase in consumption during the period considered the market share of the Union producers did not grow in line with consumption.
Eksempelvis var faldet i de kinesiske priser på 11 % mellem 2011 og 2012, hvorimod EU-priserne faldt med 8 % i samme periode.
The market share of the Union industry declined over the period considered.
Dette skyldes, at ikke alle de varetyper, der blev produceret af EU-erhvervsgrenen, blev eksporteret af de stikprøveudvalgte kinesiske eksporterende producenter.
The fact that the Union industry could not grow in line with market growth had an overall negative impact on its economic situation.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger hævdede den kinesiske regering, at Kommissionen ikke har taget hensyn til forskellen imellem de varetyper, der blev eksporteret af de kinesiske eksporterende producenter, og de varetyper, der blev solgt af EU-producenterne, da den foretog sin vurdering af de gennemsnitlige kinesiske priser.
Employment and productivity
At det blev nævnt, at der var en stor forskel på EU-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitlige salgspris og de eksporterende kinesiske producenters gennemsnitlige salgspris førte angiveligt til en fordrejet fremstilling af kendsgerningerne på grund af gabet mellem EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser og de kinesiske importpriser.
Employment and productivity developed as follows over the period considered:
Som anført ovenfor foretog Kommissionen en detaljeret sammenligning pr. varetype i forbindelse med underbud, hvilket uomtvisteligt indgår i skadesanalysen.
Table 6
Desuden anførte den klart årsagen til forskellene: den kendsgerning, at ikke alle de varetyper, som EU-erhvervsgrenen producerer, blev produceret af de kinesiske eksporterende producenter.
Employment — Full time equivalent (FTE)
Det kan derfor ikke hævdes, at Kommissionen kom med en vildledende og fordrejet fremstilling af kendsgerningerne.
Productivity (1000 m2/FTE)
Den kinesiske regering hævdede ligeledes, at faldet i den gennemsnitlige enhedssalgspris i den betragtede periode bl.a. skyldtes øget produktionseffektivitet.
Overall, employment increased by 52 % between 2009 and the IP.
Desuden skyldtes stigningen i produktionsomkostningerne pr. enhed i 2012 angiveligt ikke faldet i produktionsmængden, men den øgede produktionskapacitet.
However, the increase took place in the period until 2011 when it reached its peak of 932 Full time equivalent (FTE) and subsequently decreased to 857 FTE during the IP.
Effektivitetsgevinsterne i perioden 2009-2011 nedbragte ganske rigtigt produktionsomkostningerne pr. enhed og bidrog således til faldet i enhedssalgsprisen.
Productivity increased only slightly in 2010 and in 2011 compared to 2009.
Kommissionen fastslog imidlertid, at den gennemsnitlige salgspris faldt til langt under de gennemsnitlige produktionsomkostninger pr. enhed i UP, og dermed kun dækkede 88 % heraf.
This is partially due to the fact that the production of the like product is highly automated and requires a small number of personnel.
Samtidig kunne den øgede produktionskapacitet for virksomhederne i stikprøven ikke have forårsaget stigningen i deres produktionsomkostninger pr. enhed.
However, during the IP it decreased by 24,4 % in comparison with 2011.
Derfor afvises disse påstande.
Therefore, employment decreased during the IP, responding to the trend in the Union production of the like product during the IP.
Arbejdskraftomkostninger
Magnitude of the subsidy margin and recovery from past subsidy
De gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
All subsidy margins are significantly above the de minimis level.
Tabel 8
Given the volume and prices of imports from the country concerned, the impact of the magnitude of the actual margins of subsidy on the Union industry can be considered substantial.
Gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat
Since this is the first anti-subsidy investigation regarding the product concerned, recovery from past subsidy is not an issue in the assessment.
Gennemsnitlige arbejdskraft-omkostninger pr. ansat (EUR)
Microeconomic indicators
Mellem 2009 og UP voksede de gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat konstant, med 12 % i alt.
As indicated above, the microeconomic indicators are analysed on the basis of the questionnaire responses provided by the sampled Union producers.
En større vækst på 4,8 % fandt imidlertid sted mellem 2011 og UP.
For the majority of the sampled Union producers 2009 was the year when they made their initial investments and started the production of the like product.
Lagerbeholdninger
In addition, the glass needs to be tempered which is not the case for ordinary glass.
Lagerbeholdningerne hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
Finally, coating is also added.
Tabel 9
Thus, all the indicators analysed below are significantly influenced by this start-up phase in 2009.
Slutlagre (1000 m2)
In order to show the trends without the distortive impact of the start-up phase of the sampled companies, indexes are also shown from 2010.
Lagerbeholdningerne voksede med 7,3 % mellem 2011 og UP og med 15 % mellem 2009 og UP, hvorimod de faldt med 11,6 % mellem 2010 og 2011.
Prices and factors affecting prices
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger hævdede den kinesiske regering, at tendensen i lagerbeholdningerne er irrelevant, da deres vækst i absolutte og relative tal var meget begrænset.
The average sales prices of the sampled Union producers to unrelated customers in the Union developed as follows over the period considered:
I betragtning af prisudviklingen er det ikke rationelt for en producent at opretholde høje lagerbeholdninger, fordi deres værdi hurtigt nedbringes.
Table 7
EU-producenterne ville derfor forventes at have begrænsede lagerbeholdninger af samme vare.
Average sales prices in the Union
De store lagerbeholdninger i absolutte tal i 2010 skal ses på baggrund af, at salget var meget højere i det pågældende år end i UP.
Average unit selling price on the Union market (EUR/m2)
Rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast og evne til at rejse kapital
Index 2010
Rentabiliteten, likviditeten, investeringerne og investeringsafkastet udviklede sig således for EU-producenterne i stikprøven i den betragtede periode:
Unit cost of production (EUR/m2)
Tabel 10
Unit sales prices fell continuously throughout the period considered, but the decrease in prices was particularly pronounced during the IP when they dropped by 7,9 % in comparison with 2011, by 9,5 % in comparison with 2010 and by 23 % in comparison with 2009.
Rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer og investeringsafkast
The decline in sales prices of Union producers was slower than the trend observed for the sales prices of the imported products from the country concerned.
Kilde: EU-producenternes spørgeskemabesvarelser
For example, the drop in Chinese prices was 11 % between 2011 and 2012, while Union prices dropped by 8 % during the same period.
Rentabilitet
Despite the big difference between the Union industry’s average unit selling price and the Chinese import prices, as explained in Section D.4.2 above, the actual undercutting based on a comparison per product type was much lower, i.e. between 10,6 % and 26,7 % during the investigation period.
Likviditet (1000 EUR)
This is due to the fact that not all product types that were produced by the Union industry were exported by the sampled Chinese exporting producers.
Investeringer (1000 EUR)
Following disclosure, the GOC argued that the Commission has not taken into account the difference in the product types exported by the Chinese exporting producers and those sold by the Union producers while assessing the average Chinese prices.
Investeringsafkast
The mentioning of the fact that there was a big difference between the average selling price of the Union industry and the average selling price of the Chinese exporting producers allegedly led to a distorted presentation of the facts because of the gap between the Union sales prices and Chinese import prices.
Rentabiliteten hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven blev beregnet som nettooverskuddet før skat ved salg af samme vare til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder i Unionen udtrykt i procent af omsætningen i forbindelse med dette salg.
As indicated above, the Commission made a detailed comparison per product type for the purpose of undercutting which is undeniably part of the injury analysis.
I 2009 led de fleste EU-producenter i stikprøven tab, hvilket som forklaret i afdeling D.7 navnlig skyldtes, at de startede deres produktion af samme vare på dette tidspunkt.
In addition, it clearly indicated the cause of the differences: the fact that not all product types produced by the Union industry were produced by the Chinese exporting producers.
I 2010 var den gennemsnitlige fortjeneste allerede på 8,31 %.
Consequently, it cannot be argued that the Commission made a misleading and distorted presentation of the facts.
Derefter faldt fortjenesten en anelse i 2011, hvor den subsidierede import begyndte at stige.
The unit cost of production increased by more than 10 % between 2011 and the IP, while it remained relatively stable between 2010 and 2011.
Endelig led erhvervsgrenen væsentlige tab i UP, bl.a. et fald på 276,6 % i forhold til 2011.
The cost of production generally followed the trend of the sales price between 2009 and 2011.
Tendensen for nettolikviditeten, som er de stikprøveudvalgte EU-producenters evne til at selvfinansiere deres aktiviteter, udviste ligeledes et markant fald på 81 % mellem 2011 og UP.
The increase in the unit cost of production in 2012 was due to decrease in production volume.
Den voksede gradvis fra 2010 og udviste en generel stigning i den betragtede periode.
The GOC also claimed that the decrease in the average unit selling price during the period considered was caused, among others, by the achieved production efficiencies.
Investeringsafkastet blev udtrykt som fortjenesten i procent af den bogførte nettoværdi af investeringerne.
In addition, the increase of the unit cost of production in 2012 was arguably not caused by the decrease in production volume but by the increase in production capacity.
Det fremgår af tabel 10, at investeringerne efter opstartsfasen i 2009, hvor erhvervsgrenen foretog omfattende investeringer i samme vare, konstant faldt mellem 2009 og 2011 og derefter voksede i UP.
Indeed, the efficiency gains during the 2009-2011 period reduced the unit cost of production and thus contributed to the decrease in the unit selling price.
Erhvervsgrenen investerede navnlig i nye varetyper, der ikke importeredes fra Kina i samme periode, og som er forsknings- og innovationsintensive.
However, the Commission established that during the IP the average selling price level fell way below the average unit cost of production, thus covering only 88 % of the latter.
For så vidt angår evnen til at rejse kapital, blev det konstateret, at der var en konstant forringelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens evne til at tilvejebringe likviditet til samme vare og dermed en svækkelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation.
At the same time, the increase of production capacity of the sampled companies could not have caused the rise in their unit cost of production.
Konklusion vedrørende skade
Indeed, their production capacity increased only by 2,6 % between 2011 and 2012, while their average unit cost of production increased by 10,6 % during the same period.
Analysen af EU-erhvervsgrenens situation viser en klar nedadgående tendens for de fleste skadesindikatorer.
Consequently, these claims are rejected.
I en situation med generelt voksende forbrug voksede den samlede produktion i den betragtede periode.
Labour costs
Selv om salgsmængderne voksede, faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel i den betragtede periode på grund af en større vækst i forbruget i den periode.
The average labour costs of the sampled Union producers developed as follows over the period considered:
Den gennemsnitlige salgspris faldt markant i den betragtede periode og påvirkede alle de finansielle resultatindikatorer negativt, f.eks. rentabiliteten, likviditeten, investeringsafkastet og evnen til at rejse kapital.
Table 8
I den betragtede periode voksede EU-erhvervsgrenens samlede salgsmængde.
Average labour costs per employee
Stigningen i EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængder blev dog ledsaget af et betydeligt fald i de gennemsnitlige salgspriser og i EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel.
Average costs per employee (EUR)
Ud fra ovenstående bekræftede undersøgelsen navnlig, at EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser lå under produktionsomkostningerne i UP og dermed havde en negativ indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet, som nåede ned på markant negative niveauer i UP.
Between 2009 and the IP, the average labour costs per employee continuously increased, overall by 12 %.
Kapaciteten udviklede sig imidlertid positivt mellem 2009 og UP.
However a major increase by 4,8 % took place between 2011 and the IP.
Det forholdt sig desuden sådan, at skønt investeringerne faldt mellem 2009 og UP, voksede de mellem 2011 og UP.
The overall increase of labour costs can be partly explained by costs incurred by some Union producers linked to the idling of plants between 2011 and the IP, in other words, the need to pay employees despite the fact that they were actually not working.
Dette skyldes, at de stikprøveudvalgte virksomheder, jf. afdeling D.7.4 ovenfor, fortsatte med at investere i samme vare ved bl.a. at koncentrere sig om varetyper på nichemarkeder, hvortil der endnu ikke er nogen eksport af disse særlige forsknings- og innovationsintensive varetyper fra det pågældende land.
Inventories
