Import i alt (ton)
Total imports (tonnes)
Importen fra tredjelande, hovedsageligt USA, Norge og Sydkorea, faldt væsentligt fra 2009 til slutningen af UP.
Imports from third countries, mainly the USA, Norway and South Korea, decreased substantially from 2009 to the end of the IP.
Dette fald skyldtes indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for importen fra USA i 2009 og efter antiomgåelsesundersøgelsen af importen afsendt fra Canada i 2010.
This decline was due to the imposition of measures on imports from the United States in 2009 and following an anti-circumvention investigation against imports consigned from Canada in 2010.
I betragtning af den faldende markedsandel for importen fra andre tredjelande samtidig med forværringen i EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation kan importen fra andre tredjelande kun havde bidraget ubetydeligt til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
Given the decline in the market share of imports from other third countries at the time of the deterioration in the financial position of the Union industry, imports from other third countries cannot have made more than a negligible contribution to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Det kan således ikke konkluderes, at den bryder årsagssammenhængen mellem skaden og virkningen af dumpingimporten.
Thus, it cannot be concluded that they break the causal link between the injury and the effect of dumped imports.
Andre EU-producenter
Other Union producers
I betragtning af den lille produktionsmængde fra de EU-producenter, der er udelukket fra definitionen på EU-erhvervsgrenen, og deres begrænsede importmængde generelt set blev disse producenter ikke betragtet som årsag til EU-erhvervsgrenens skade.
Given the small volume of production of the Union producers excluded from the definition of the Union industry, and the small volume in overall terms of their imports, these producers were not considered as a cause of injury to the Union industry.
EU-erhvervsgrenens import
Imports made by the Union industry
CARBIO, som er sammenslutningen af argentinske biodieselproducenter, påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens skade blev forårsaget af EU-producenternes import fra Argentina og Indonesien.
CARBIO, the association of Argentinian biodiesel producers, alleged that the injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by imports from Argentina and Indonesia made by Union producers.
De definerede denne import som selvforskyldt skade og hævdede, at der burde ses bort fra den som årsag til skade på baggrund af de argentinske producenters adfærd.
They defined these imports as self-inflicted injury and claimed that they should be discounted as a cause of injury based on the behaviour of the Argentine producers.
Det fremgår tydeligt af EU-erhvervsgrenens oplysninger, at de har importeret biodiesel fra Argentina og Indonesien i den betragtede periode i mængder på op til 60 % af den samlede import i UP fra disse lande.
It is clear from data provided by the Union industry that they have imported quantities of biodiesel from Argentina and Indonesia during the period considered, up to 60% of all imports in the IP from these countries.
De har imidlertid anført, at denne import er foretaget som selvforsvar.
However they have stated that these imports have been made in self-defence.
Det har hjulpet EU-producenterne med at forblive aktive på mellemlangt sigt, at de kunne drage fordel på kort sigt af dumpingpriserne på denne import.
Being able to benefit from the dumped prices of these imports, in the short term, has assisted Union producers in being able to stay in business for the medium term.
EU-erhvervsgrenens import af biodiesel til dumpingpriser øgedes væsentligt i 2011 og i UP, som var det tidspunkt, hvor virkningen af den differentierede eksportafgift på biodiesel og dennes råvarer kunne mærkes mest, da det var på det tidspunkt, at importen af råvarer (sojabønneolie og palmeolie) blev uøkonomisk sammenlignet med importen af det færdige produkt.
The imports of biodiesel at dumped prices by the Union industry increased substantially in 2011 and the IP, which was when the effect of the differential export tax on biodiesel and its raw materials could be most felt, as it was at that time that imports of the raw materials (soybean oil and palm oil) became uneconomic as compared to imports of the finished product.
Den differentierede eksportafgiftsordning i begge lande betyder en højere afgift på eksporten af råvarer end på det færdige produkt.
The differential export tax system in both countries puts a higher tax on the export of raw materials than the tax on the finished product.
Hvorvidt denne differentierede eksportafgift kan anses for at være et subsidie, jf. antisubsidiegrundforordningens artikel 2, vil blive undersøgt i den igangværende antisubsidieundersøgelse.
Whether this differential export tax can be considered as a subsidy in the sense of Article 2 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation will be examined in the ongoing anti-subsidy investigation.
For eksempel var prisen på importen af sojabønneolie fra Argentina højere end importprisen for SME i nogle måneder af UP, hvilket gjorde det økonomisk ufordelagtig at købe sojabønneolie.
For example during some months of the IP the import price of soybean oil from Argentina was higher than the import price of SME, making purchase of soybean oil economically disadvantageous.
I den situation var den eneste økonomisk fornuftige mulighed at købe SME.
In this position purchase of SME was the only economically justifiable option.
Hvis EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke havde importeret disse mængder af biodiesel, ville handelsvirksomhederne under alle omstændigheder have importeret dem, de ville have underbudt EU-erhvervsgrenen og solgt biodiesel på EU-markedet, da de allerede importerer fra disse lande med henblik på salg til dieselraffinaderierne i konkurrence med EU-erhvervsgrenen.
In any case had the Union industry not imported these volumes of biodiesel, trading companies in the Union would have imported them, undercut the Union industry and sold them on the Union market, as they already import from these countries for sale to the diesel refiners in competition with the Union industry.
Årsagssammenhængen brydes ikke af denne import, og dette argument må derfor foreløbigt afvises.
The causal link is not broken by these imports and this argument is therefore provisionally rejected.
EU-erhvervsgrenens kapacitet
Capacity of the Union industry
CARBIO hævder endvidere, at den skade, som er forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen, skyldes overkapacitet på grund af for kraftig udvidelse.
CARBIO further alleges that the injury caused to the Union industry is due to overcapacity caused by overexpansion.
Med en kapacitetsudnyttelse på 50 % i 2008 hævder de, at erhvervsgrenen fortsat har ekspanderet uden en tilsvarende stigning i efterspørgslen.
With capacity utilisation at 50% in 2008 they allege that the industry has continued to expand without a commensurate increase in demand.
I den betragtede periode var kapacitetsudnyttelsen i Unionen lav, med et lavpunkt på 40 % i UP.
It is the case that during the period considered capacity utilisation across the Union remained low, at a low point of 40% during the IP.
Derfor har nogle virksomheder ikke anvendt den kapacitet, de har installeret.
Therefore some companies have not been using the capacity they have installed.
Imidlertid var kapacitetsudnyttelsen allerede lav ved begyndelsen af den betragtede periode og har været lav i hele perioden, og den var også stabil i virksomhederne i stikprøven.
However capacity utilisation was already low at the start of the period considered and has remained low throughout the whole period, and was also stable in the sampled companies.
De stikprøveudtagne virksomheder var rentable ved starten af den betragtede periode og led ved en stabil kapacitetsudnyttelse tab ved slutningen.
The sampled companies were profitable at the start of the period considered and loss making at the end, with stable capacity utilisation.
Det kan med rimelighed konkluderes, at hele erhvervsgrenen også er blevet mindre rentabel, mens kapacitetsudnyttelsen er forblevet stabil.
It is reasonable to deduce that the whole industry has also become less profitable while its capacity utilisation has remained stable.
Det kan derfor ikke anses for at være en væsentlig årsag til skade, da der ikke synes at være nogen årsagssammenhæng.
This cannot therefore be considered a major cause of injury, as there appears to be no causal link.
Dette argument afvises derfor foreløbigt.
This argument is therefore provisionally rejected.
Manglende adgang til råvarer og vertikal integrering
Lack of access to raw materials and vertical integration
CARBIO hævder også, at EU-erhvervsgrenen lider skade på grund af manglende effektivitet, især fordi den ikke er vertikalt integreret og ikke befinder sig tæt på råvarer.
CARBIO also alleges that the Union industry is suffering injury because of a lack of efficiency, in particular because they are not vertically integrated and are not located close to raw materials.
Disse påstande blev foreløbigt afvist.
These arguments are provisionally rejected.
Nogle af virksomhederne i stikprøven befinder sig i havnebyer med ubesværet adgang til råvarer, der bringes pr. skib, og andre virksomheder i stikprøven har placeret deres biodieselanlæg direkte ved siden af deres produktionsanlæg for vegetabilske olier.
Some of the sampled companies are located at the ports with seamless access to raw materials brought in by ship, and other sampled companies have located their biodiesel plants directly on the same site as their vegetable oil producing plants.
Mange biodieselproducenter i Sydeuropa befinder sig i havnebyer netop for at få adgang til råvarer importeret fra Argentina og Indonesien eller på samme sted som deres kunder (der er raffinaderier for fossile brændstoffer).
Many biodiesel producers in the south of Europe are located at port sites deliberately to access raw materials imported from Argentina and Indonesia or on the same sites as their customers (being the fossil oil refineries).
Da virkningen af den differentierede eksportafgift har været at gøre råvarerne dyrere end de færdige produkter, har dette klart påført EU-erhvervsgrenen skade ved at gøre det økonomisk umuligt at fremstille PME og SME i Unionen.
Given that the effect of the differential export tax has been to make the raw materials more expensive than the finished product, this has clearly injured the Union industry by making it economically impossible to manufacture PME and SME in the EU.
Andre lovgivningsmæssige faktorer
Other regulatory factors
CARBIO henviste også til nogle lovgivningsmæssige faktorer, som de hævder har voldt skade for EU-erhvervsgrenen, hvoraf nogle er forslag og endnu ikke er blevet gennemført.
CARBIO also made reference to some regulatory factors which they allege have caused injury to the Union industry, some of which are proposals and have to date not been put into force.
De fremhæver dog ordningen med "dobbelttælling", som er beskrevet i det følgende.
However they place emphasis on the system of ‘double counting’, which is described below.
I henhold til direktivet om vedvarende energi skal medlemsstaterne kræve, at en vis mængde biodiesel blandes med mineralsk diesel, inden den sælges til brugerne.
The Renewable Energy Directive ('RED') requires Member States to mandate a certain proportion of biodiesel to be mixed with mineral diesel before being sold to users.
Nogle medlemsstater har benyttet sig af bestemmelsen i direktivet om, at forholdet kan halveres, hvis den anvendte biodiesel stammer fra spildolie eller brugt animalsk fedt.
Some Member States have availed themselves of the provision in the RED which allows that proportion to be halved if the biodiesel used has been made from waste oils or used animal fats.
Hvis den pågældende medlemsstat f.eks. kræver, at 7 % biodiesel skal blandes med 93 % mineralsk diesel, så bliver de 7 % reduceret til 3,5 %, hvis det er biodiesel af spildolie.
For example if the Member State concerned requires that 7% biodiesel be mixed with 93% mineral diesel, then that 7% reduces to 3,5% if it is waste oil biodiesel.
CARBIO hævder, at bestemmelserne om dobbelttælling har forårsaget et fald i salget af den såkaldte første generation af biodiesel på 1 mio. ton i UP, og at dette er årsagen til EU-erhvervsgrenens skade.
CARBIO alleges that the double counting rules have caused a drop in the sale of so-called 'first generation' biodiesel of 1 million MT during the IP, and that this is a cause of injury to the Union industry.
Denne påstand afvises, da stikprøven af EU-producenter indeholder nogle virksomheder, der fremstiller biodiesel, som tæller dobbelt, og deres finansielle situation er ikke betydeligt anderledes end situationen for de stikprøveudtagne virksomheder, der producerer biodiesel af vegetabilske jomfruolier.
This allegation is rejected, as the sample of Union producers contains some companies who are manufacturing double counted biodiesel and their financial situation is not significantly different to that of sampled companies making biodiesel from virgin vegetable oils.
Disse virksomheder har under kontrollen af deres oplysninger påvist, at prisen på deres biodiesel er blevet påvirket af den lave pris på dumpingimport fra Argentina og Indonesien, da de er i indirekte konkurrence med PME og SME fra de pågældende lande.
These companies have shown during verification of their data that the price of their biodiesel has been affected by the low price of dumped imports from Argentina and Indonesia, as they are in indirect competition with the PME and SME from the countries concerned.
Der er også blevet fremført et argument om, at EU-erhvervsgrenen lider skade, fordi der ikke investeres mere i anden generation af biobrændstof, f.eks. spildolie.
The argument has also been made that the Union industry is suffering injury by not investing more in second-generation biofuels such as using waste oils.
Dette argument er foreløbigt blevet afvist, da der ikke er tilstrækkelig spildolie i Unionen til at øge forarbejdningsmængden betydeligt i forhold til det allerede eksisterende.
This argument has been provisionally rejected, as there is not enough waste oil available in the Union to significantly increase the amount of processing from that already in existence.
Restriktioner i medlemsstaterne
Restrictions in Member States
CARBIO hævdede også, at den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen led, ikke kunne forårsages af importen fra de pågældende lande som følge af kvoteordninger og skattesystemer i forskellige medlemsstater, der begrænser adgangen til disse markeder.
CARBIO also alleged that the injury caused to the Union industry could not be caused by imports from the countries concerned due to quota systems and tax regimes in various Member States that restrict access to these markets.
De hævdede også, at nogle markeder i Unionen er lukkede for SME og PME på grund af klimatiske forhold.
They also allege that some markets in the EU are closed to SME and PME due to climatic conditions.
Det er korrekt, at koldfilterpunktet for PME (+13 grader celsius) betyder, at PME ikke kan anvendes i hele Unionen, uden at det blandes med andre biodieselformer for at reducere koldfilterpunktet.
They are correct to state that the Cold Filter Plugging Point ('CFPP') of PME (at +13 Centigrade) means that PME cannot be used across the Union without being mixed with other biodiesels to bring down the CFPP.
Koldfilterpunktet for SME (0 grader celsius) betyder imidlertid, at det har en mere udbredt anvendelse, især i sommermånederne.
The CFPP of SME, at 0 degrees Centigrade, does however allow it to be used more widely, in particular during the summer months.
Påstanden om, at det er lovgivningen i nogle medlemsstater, som forvolder skade for EU-erhvervsgrenen, blev indgående behandlet i undersøgelsen.
The argument that it is the regulatory system in some Member States that is causing injury to the Union industry was examined closely throughout the investigation.
I nogle medlemsstater findes der kvoteordninger, hvorved der tildeles en særlig produktionsmængde til virksomheder i den medlemsstat eller i andre medlemsstater i Unionen.
In some Member States, quota systems are in place that give a particular production quota to companies in that Member State or in other Member States across the Union.
De fleste lande har dog indrømmet fordele gennem skattesystemet, og disse fordele reduceres eller fjernes efterhånden.
However most countries have given advantages by using the tax system and these advantages are being lowered or withdrawn.
For eksempel har Frankrig en "skattelempelsesfordel" på 90 EUR pr. ton for biodiesel, der produceres inden for kvoten.
France for example has a 'detaxation advantage' of EUR90 per tonne for quota produced biodiesel.
I betragtning af de lave priser på dumpingimporten er det dog ofte billigere at importere biodiesel end at købe den hos EU-erhvervsgrenen, selv inklusive skattefordelen.
However given the low prices of dumped imports, it is often cheaper to import biodiesel than it is to buy from the Union industry even including the tax advantage.
Det fremgår af det forhold, at der klart findes argentinsk import på det franske marked.
This is shown by the fact that Argentinian imports are clearly present on the French market.
I nogle medlemsstater findes der ingen import fra Argentina og Indonesien, enten på grund af klimatiske forhold eller som følge af kvoteordninger.
In some Member States imports from Argentina and Indonesia are not present, either due to climatic conditions or due to quota systems.
Men i størstedelen af Unionen findes der import fra Argentina og Indonesien på markedet, enten fordi der ikke er nogen kvoteordning, eller fordi prisen er lavere end den skattefordel, som en medlemsstat måtte give.
However in most of the Union imports from Argentina and Indonesia are present on the market, either due to the lack of a quota system or due to the price being below any tax advantage that a Member State might give.
I betragtning af at PME of SME kan sælges i Unionen, når det blandes med EU-produceret RME eller anden biodiesel, og at importen findes i store mængder og til dumpingpriser selv i medlemsstater med en skattelempelsesordning, må denne påstand foreløbigt afvises, da de eksisterende kvote- og skatteordninger ikke kan bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem skaden og virkningen af dumpingimporten.
Given that PME and SME, when blended with Union produced RME or other biodiesel, can be sold across the Union, and that imports are present in large quantities and dumped prices even in Member States with tax advantage systems in place, this argument is provisionally rejected as the existing quota systems and tax regimes are not capable of breaking the causal link between the injury and the effect of dumped imports.
Ovennævnte analyse har vist, at der var en betragtelig stigning i mængde og markedsandele for den billige dumpingimport med oprindelse i de pågældende lande.
The above analysis has demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports originating in the countries concerned.
Det blev samtidig konstateret, at EU-erhvervsgrenens priser blev underbudt i UP i forbindelse med denne import.
At the same time, it was found that these imports were undercutting the price of the Union industry during the IP.
Oplysningerne viser, at da mængden af billig dumpingimport fra de pågældende lande steg, forværredes EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation betydeligt.
The data shows that as the volume of low-priced imports from the countries concerned increase, the economic situation of the Union industry deteriorates significantly.
I ovennævnte analyse blev der behørigt skelnet mellem virkningerne af alle kendte faktorer på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation og de skadevoldende virkninger af dumpingimporten.
The analysis above 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.
Ud fra denne analyse er den foreløbige konklusion, at dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande har forårsaget væsentlig skade for EU-erhvervsgrenen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6.
Based on this analysis the provisional conclusion is that the dumped imports from the countries concerned have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
De kendte faktorer ud over dumpingimporten er blevet vurderet i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 7, og der blev ikke fundet dokumentation for, at de brød årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
The known factors other than the dumped imports have been assessed in line with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, and no evidence was found that they broke the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Kommissionen undersøgte i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21, om der til trods for konklusionen om skadevoldende dumping er tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke er i Unionens interesse at indføre foranstaltninger i dette tilfælde.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
Unionens interesser blev fastsat på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenens, importørernes, råvareleverandørernes og brugernes interesser.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers, raw material suppliers and users.
Som nævnt ovenfor led EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade på grund af dumpingimporten med oprindelse i de pågældende lande.
As mentioned above, the Union industry suffered material injury caused by dumped imports originating in the countries concerned.
Hvis der ikke træffes foranstaltninger, vil det højst sandsynligt medføre, at den negative tendens for EF-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation fortsætter.
Not imposing measures would most likely lead to a continuation of the negative trend of the financial situation of the Union industry.
EU-erhvervsgrenens situation var især præget af et fald i rentabilitet fra +3 % i 2009 til -2,5 % ved udgangen af UP.
The situation of the Union industry was particularly marked by a decrease in profitability from + 3 % in 2009 to – 2,5 % by the end of the IP.
En yderligere nedgang i resultaterne ville i sidste ende føre til produktionsnedskæringer og flere lukninger af produktionsanlæg, hvilket således ville true beskæftigelsen og investeringerne i Unionen.
Any further decline in performance would ultimately lead to cuts in production and more closures of production sites, which would therefore threaten employment and investments in the Union.
Hvis der indføres foranstaltninger, genskabes der loyal konkurrence på markedet.
The imposition of measures would restore fair competition on the market.
EU-erhvervsgrenens negative tendens med hensyn til rentabiliteten er resultatet af dens vanskeligheder ved at konkurrere med billig dumpingimport med oprindelse i de pågældende lande; et forhold, der også skyldes eksportafgiftsordningen i begge lande, som sænker prisen på importen af SME og PME til EU-markedet, samtidig med at prisen på råvarer stiger.
The Union industry's downwards trend in profitability is the result of its difficulty in competing with the dumped, low-priced, imports originating in the countries concerned, a fact also due to the export tax regime in both countries that lowers the price of imports of SME and PME on the Union market, whilst increasing the price of the raw materials.
Indføres der antidumpingforanstaltninger, vil EF-erhvervsgrenen være i stand til at forbedre sin rentabilitet til et niveau, der anses for nødvendigt for denne kapitalintensive industri.
The imposition of anti-dumping measures would therefore put the Union industry in the position to improve its profitability towards levels considered necessary for this capital intensive industry.
