Undersøgelsen viste, at selv om EU-erhvervsgrenen havde indgået langtidsleverancekontrakter om polysilicium, blev vilkårene i disse kontrakter hovedsagelig genforhandlet på grundlag af udviklingen i polysiliciumpriserne, og kontraktpriserne lå tæt på eller endda under priserne på spotmarkedet.
The investigation showed that although the Union industry had long term supply contracts for polysilicon, the terms of these contracts were mostly renegotiated based on the price developments of polysilicon and contract prices reached levels close to or sometimes even lower than prices on the spot market.
Det konkluderes derfor, at EU-erhvervsgrenen generelt ikke led skade af disse langtidskontrakter og var i stand til fuldt ud at udnytte prisfaldet i polysiliciumpriserne, selv om visse specifikke EU-producenter kan have været påvirket af langtidskontrakter om leverance af polysilicium.
On these grounds, it is concluded that even if some specific Union producers may have been affected by long term contracts for the supply of polysilicon, the Union industry, overall, did not suffer from these long term contracts and were able to fully benefit from the price decrease in polysilicon prices.
Det blev derfor konkluderet, at disse langtidskontrakter ikke bidrog til den væsentlige skade, der blev påført EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The long term contracts were therefore not found to contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Selvforskyldt skade: Indvirkning af automatisering, størrelse, stordriftsfordele, konsolidering, innovation, omkostningseffektivitet
Self-inflicted injury: impact of automation, size, economies of scale, consolidation, innovation, cost efficiency
Flere interesserede parter påstod, at den skade, EU-erhvervsgrenen forvoldtes, skyldtes den udbredte brug af automatisering i produktionsprocessen.
Several interested parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was due to the high degree of automation of the production process.
Det blev påstået, at mindre producenter var dårligere stillet end store vertikalt integrerede producenter, og at disse producenters eventuelle skade derfor ikke kunne tilskrives dumpingimporten.
It was claimed that the small-scale producers had a disadvantage compared to the larger vertically integrated producers and therefore any injury suffered by these producers cannot be attributed to the dumped imports.
Det blev i den forbindelse også påstået, at EU-erhvervsgrenen under alle omstændigheder generelt var en lille erhvervsgren og derfor ikke var i stand til at udnytte stordriftsfordele.
In this context it was also claimed that in any event, overall, the Union industry was of a small size and therefore was not able to benefit from economies of scale.
Undersøgelsen viste, at selv små producenter på EU-markedet anvendte automatisering i vidt omfang i deres produktionsproces med en positiv afsmitning på deres produktionsomkostninger.
The investigation showed that also the small-scale producers in Union market had a high level of automation in their production process with a positive effect to their production costs.
De fleste EU-producenter har specialiseret sig i en del af produktionsprocessen (wafere, celler eller moduler), hvorved de øgede deres konkurrenceevne, hvad angår den specifikke varetype, de producerer.
Most Union producers have specialised in one part of the production process (wafers, cells or modules), which, through specialisation, increased their competitiveness with regard to the specific product type they were producing.
Påstanden om, at virkningen af udbredt brug af automatisering forvoldte EU-erhvervsgrenen skade, måtte derfor afvises.
The argument that impact of the high degree automation caused the injury suffered by the Union industry, had therefore to be rejected.
En række interesserede parter påstod, at prispresset resulterede i en konsolidering af EU-erhvervsgrenen, hvilket var årsagen til, at EU-erhvervsgrenen forvoldtes væsentlig skade.
Some interested parties claimed that the price pressure resulted in the consolidation of the Union industry, the latter being the cause of the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Undersøgelsen viste dog, at konsolideringen snarere var en konsekvens af dumpingimporten.
However, the investigation showed that the consolidation was rather a consequence of the dumped imports.
Denne part fremlagde desuden ingen beviser for, i hvilket omfang konsolideringsprocessen skulle have været årsagen til skaden.
Furthermore, this party did not support with any evidence to what extend the consolidation process could have been the cause of the injury suffered.
Det blev endvidere påstået, at manglen på vertikal integration i EU-erhvervsgrenen var årsagen til skaden.
Moreover, it was claimed that the lack of vertical integration of the Union industry is the cause of the injury suffered.
Vertikalt integrerede producenter har generelt under normale markedsforhold større sikkerhed i forhold til deres forsyningskæde.
In general the vertically integrated producers in normal market conditions should have more security over their supply chain.
Det fremgik dog af undersøgelsen, at fordelen ved vertikal integration for den del af EU-erhvervsgrenen, der var vertikalt integreret, ikke kunne udnyttes fuldt ud, idet prispresset fra dumpingimporten var ekstremt stort.
However, the investigation showed that the advantage of vertical integration by part of the Union industry that was vertically integrated could not be fully exploited as the price pressure from dumped imports was extremely high.
Som følge af dumpingimporten var EU-erhvervsgrenen og selv de vertikalt integrerede EU-producenter ikke i stand til fuldt ud at udnytte den høje kapacitetsudnyttelse til at opnå stordriftsfordele.
Moreover, the Union industry, even the vertically integrated Union producers, due to the dumped imports could not fully benefit from high capacity utilisation rates to achieve economies of scale.
Desuden viste undersøgelsen ingen relationer mellem vertikal integration og bedre rentabilitet, idet det høje prispres ændrede denne relation.
Furthermore, the investigation did not reveal any correlation between vertical integration and better profitability rates, as the high price pressure has altered this correlation.
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenen sakkede bagud i teknisk innovation og investeringer i ny teknologi.
Some interested parties claimed that the Union industry lacked technical innovation as well as investments in new technology.
Undersøgelsen kastede dog ikke lys over faktiske beviser, der kunne bekræfte disse påstande.
However, the investigation did not bring to light any factual evidence confirming these allegations.
Derimod viste undersøgelsen, at hovedparten af EU-erhvervsgrenens investeringer var beregnet til nye maskiner og FoU, og at der ikke er nogen relevante forskelle i teknologi mellem varerne på verdensplan.
To the contrary, the investigation showed that the majority of the investments made by the Union industry were dedicated to new machinery and R & D and that there are no meaningful differences in technology between the products worldwide.
Desuden påstod en interesseret part, at den væsentlige skade, der er forvoldt, skyldes dårlig projektledelse (mislykkede projekter).
Moreover, one interested party claimed that the material injury suffered is due to the poor project execution (failed projects).
Det skal i den forbindelse bemærkes, at dette argument ikke var dokumenteret.
In this respect, it should be noted that the argument was not substantiated.
Desuden kunne et mislykket projekt snarere betragtes som en følge af dumpingimporten.
In addition, any failed project could rather be considered as a consequence of the dumped imports.
Argumentet måtte derfor afvises.
The argument had therefore to be rejected.
En række interesserede parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke var i stand til at rationalisere sine omkostninger i tide for at imødegå udviklingerne på verdensmarkedet.
Several interested parties claimed that the Union industry was not able to rationalise its costs in time to respond to the developments in the world market.
Andre parter påstod, at arbejdskraftomkostninger og generelle omkostninger er højere i Unionen end i Kina.
Other parties claimed that labour and overhead costs are higher in the Union than in the PRC.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenens produktionsomkostninger fulgte et konstant fald i den betragtede periode, undtagen for wafere, hvor omkostningerne faldt i 2010, men steg i 2011 og igen i UP til et niveau, der var lidt højere end i begyndelsen af den betragtede periode, jf. betragtning 138.
The investigation showed that the cost of production of the Union industry was steadily decreasing during the period considered, except for wafers where costs were decreasing in 2010 but increased in 2011 and further in the IP to levels slightly higher than at the beginning of the period considered (see recital 138 above).
Produktiviteten steg for moduler og celler, men faldt for wafere.
Productivity increased for modules and cells, but decreased for wafers.
Som nævnt ovenfor var EU-erhvervsgrenen ikke i stand til at udnytte de lavere priser på grund af stigningen i dumpingimporten fra Kina og det deraf følgende voldsomme prispres på EU-markedet.
As mentioned above, due to the surge of dumped imports from the PRC and the consequent significant price pressure on the Union market, the Union industry was not able to benefit from the reductions in cost.
Det skal bemærkes, at de eksporterende producenter i Kina ikke har sammenlignelige fordele, hvad angår råvarer (polysilicium) og de maskiner, der anvendes, da begge dele i overvejende grad importeredes fra Unionen.
It is noted that the exporting producers in the PRC do not enjoy any comparative advantage with regard to raw materials (polysilicon) and the machinery used as both were mostly imported from the Union.
Hvad angår arbejdskraftomkostninger og generalomkostninger, udgjorde de i gennemsnit mindre end 10 % af de samlede omkostninger for et modul i UP, og det konkluderes, at de ikke spillede en væsentlig rolle.
As far as labour and overhead costs are concerned, they represented on average less than 10 % of the total cost of a module in the IP and are not considered to have played any significant role.
Det blev endvidere påstået, at visse EU-producenter købte wafere, celler og/eller moduler fra det pågældende land og videresolgte disse varer på EU-markedet som deres egne varer.
Moreover, it was claimed that some Union producers sourced wafers, cells and/or modules from the country concerned, and resold those products on the Union market as their own.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenens import af den pågældende vare var komplementær, hvad angår typer, og begrænset i mængde i forhold til EU-produktionen, og det kunne derfor ikke konkluderes, at den var af en sådan art, at den kunne bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The investigation revealed that imports from the Union industry of the product concerned were complementary in nature as well as limited in terms of volume when compared to the Union production and would therefore not be considered as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
For at modsvare den faldende pristendens i importen fra Kina måtte EU-erhvervsgrenen derfor gennemføre omfattende bestræbelser for at rationalisere produktionsomkostningerne.
Therefore, in order to match the decreasing price trend of the imports from the PRC, the Union industry had to make considerable efforts to rationalise its cost of production.
Til trods for EU-erhvervsgrenens bestræbelser kunne denne omkostningsrationalisering ikke afspejles i salgspriserne som følge af det markante underbud fra dumpingimporten.
Despite the efforts of the Union industry, this cost rationalisation could not be reflected in the sales price due to the significant undercutting exerted by the dumped imports.
Ovennævnte påstande måtte derfor afvises.
On these grounds, all the above mentioned arguments had to be rejected.
Konkurrence fra fotovoltaiske produkter af tynd folie og andre fotovoltaiske teknologier
Competition from thin film PV products and other PV technologies
Flere interesserede parter påstod, at den skade, der forvoldtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, skyldtes konkurrencen fra fotovoltaiske produkter af tynd folie og andre fotovoltaiske teknologier, da disse teknologier er indbyrdes udskiftelige og har de samme endelige anvendelsesformål.
Several interested parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the competition from thin film PV products and other PV technologies, as these technologies were interchangeable and with same end use.
Undersøgelsen viste, at fotovoltaiske produkter af tynd film produceres af forskellige råvarer, og at der ikke anvendes wafere af krystallinsk silicium hertil.
The investigation showed that thin film PV products are produced from different raw materials and do not use crystalline silicon wafers.
Generelt har de meget lavere omdannelsesydeevne og lavere produktion af watt end moduler af krystallinsk silicium.
In general, they have much lower conversion efficiencies and a lower wattage output than crystalline silicon modules.
De kan således ikke anvendes på begrænsede områder som f.eks. tage, dvs., at de ikke er fuldt ud indbyrdes udskiftelige med den pågældende vare.
As a result, they cannot be used on restricted areas such as roof-tops, i.e. they are not fully interchangeable with the product concerned.
Selv om der kan være en vis konkurrence mellem produkter af tynd folie og den pågældende vare, kan denne konkurrence dog betragtes som marginal.
Therefore, although there may be some competition between the thin film products and the product concerned, this competition is considered to be marginal.
I forbindelse med undersøgelsen blev der således ikke fundet nogen sammenhæng mellem den skade, der påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, og konkurrence fra fotovoltaiske produkter af tynd film og andre fotovoltaiske teknologier.
Therefore the investigation found no link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the competition of thin film PV and other PV technologies.
Den finansielle krise og virkningerne heraf
Financial crisis and its effects
Det blev påstået, at den finansielle krise og den økonomiske afmatning havde en negativ indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens adgang til finansiering, hvilket således påførte EU-erhvervsgrenen skade.
It was claimed that the financial crisis and the economic recession had a negative effect on the access to finance for the Union industry and thus caused the injury suffered by the Union industry.
EU-erhvervsgrenens evne til at rejse kapital reduceredes betydeligt i den betragtede periode.
The ability of the Union industry to raise capital decreased significantly during the period considered.
Da solenerigindustrien er kapitalintensiv, er evnen til at rejse kapital afgørende.
As the solar industry is capital intensive, the ability to raise capital is crucial.
Den økonomiske krise havde en vis indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
The economic recession had a certain impact on the situation of the Union industry.
Undersøgelsen viste dog, at EU-erhvervsgrenens situation — til trods for væksten på EU-markedet mellem 2009 og 2011 — forværredes som et resultat af dumpingimporten fra Kina, der markant underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser.
The investigation showed, however, that despite the growth of the Union market between 2009 and 2011, the situation of the Union industry deteriorated as a result of the dumped imports from the PRC heavily undercutting the Union industry’s sales prices.
Det blev derfor konkluderet, at de mulige virkninger af den finansielle krise blev forstærket af stigningen i dumpingimporten fra Kina, og at den begrænsede adgang til finansiering i høj grad var en konsekvens af det negative markedsklima, og at EU-erhvervsgrenens situation og fremtidsudsigter var en følge af dumpingimporten.
It was therefore concluded that the potential effects of the financial crisis was aggravated by the increase of dumped imports from the PRC and that the limited access to finance was largely a consequence of the negative market climate, the situation and prospects of the Union industry a consequence of the dumped imports.
Mens den finansielle krise havde en vis indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation, kan den således ikke bryde årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og EU-erhvervsgrenens skade.
Therefore, while the financial crises had a certain impact on the situation of the Union industry, it could not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportsalg faldt betydeligt i den betragtede periode og især mellem 2009 og 2011 for moduler og mellem 2009 og første kvartal 2012 for celler, og at dette har forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade.
Some interested parties claimed that the Union industry’s export sales dropped significantly during the period considered and especially between 2009 and 2011 for modules and between 2009 and first quarter of 2012 for cells and that this has caused the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Som det fremgår af tabellen herunder, var eksportmængden for moduler dog betydelig til trods for et lille fald i UP, og den gennemsnitlige pris lå i UP over de gennemsnitlige omkostninger for moduler i hele den betragtede periode.
However, as shown in the table below, the export volumes for modules remain significant despite a slight decrease in the IP and average price levels during the IP were above the average costs of modules throughout the period considered.
Dette kan således ikke have påført EU-erhvervsgrenen skade.
Therefore, this could not have caused the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Hvad angår celler, udgjorde eksportmængden kun ca. 12 % af den samlede produktionsmængde af celler.
As for cells, the export volumes represented only around 12 % of the total production volume of cells.
Til trods for de lave priser i UP kunne dette således kun have haft en begrænset indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
Therefore, despite the low prices during the IP, this could only have had limited impact on the situation of the Union industry.
Endelig hvad angår wafere, udgjorde eksporten ca. 24 % af den samlede produktionsmængde, og til trods for de lave eksportpriser i UP kunne dette ligeledes kun have haft en begrænset indvirkning på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
Finally, as regards wafers, exports represented around 24 % of the total production volume and likewise, despite the low export prices during the IP, this could only have had limited impact on the situation of the Union industry.
Parternes påstande i den henseende måtte derfor afvises.
The arguments in this respect had therefore to be rejected.

Det blev på grundlag af ovenstående konkluderet, at EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater ikke var af en sådan art, de bidrager til den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt.
On these grounds, it was found that the impact of the Union’s industry’s export performance was not such as to contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Fundet af skifergasforekomster i Den Europæiske Union
The discovery of shale gas deposits in the Union
En interesseret part påstod, at den skade, der påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, skyldtes fundet af skifergasforekomster i Unionen, og udsigterne til at øge produktionen af billig skifergas i Unionen har reduceret offentlige og private investeringer i projekter vedrørende vedvarende energi.
One interested party claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the discovery of shale gas deposits in the Union and the prospect of increasing production of cheap shale gas in the Union has reduced public and private investments in renewable energy projects.
Undersøgelsen viste, at forbruget af den undersøgte vare steg betydeligt i hele den betragtede periode, jf. betragtning 108.
The investigation found that the consumption for the product under investigation increased substantially throughout the period considered, as already mentioned in recital 108 above.
Undersøgelsen fandt desuden ingen faktiske beviser for, at EU-erhvervsgrenens skade skyldtes fundet af skifergasforekomster i Den Europæiske Union.
Moreover, the investigation did not bring into light any factual evidence that the injury suffered by the Union industry was due to the discovery of shale gas deposits in the Union.
Den Europæiske Unions emissionshandelssystem (ETS)
The European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS)
Samme part påstod, at EU-erhvervsgrenens skade skyldtes de lave investeringer i solenergiproduktion som følge af lave markedspriser i Den Europæiske Unions emissionshandelsssystems CO2-emissionstilgodehavender.
The same party claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the low investments in solar energy production due to the low market prices for the European Union’s Emissions Trading Scheme CO2 emission credits.
Derimod viste undersøgelsen, at forbruget af den undersøgte vare steg betydeligt i den betragtede periode.
To the contrary, the investigation showed that the consumption of the product under investigation was increasing substantially during the period considered.
Ledelsesbeslutninger
Management decisions
Visse interesserede parter påstod, at den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes mindst en af EU-producenterne, skyldtes dårlige ledelsesbeslutninger.
Some interested parties claimed that the material injury suffered by at least one of the Union producers was caused by a wrong management decisions.
Disse påstande var baseret på de årlige regnskaber og visse oplysninger i et brev fra en af virksomhedens aktionærer til de andre aktionærer.
These allegations were based on the annuals accounts and some information contained in a letter sent by a shareholder of the company to the other shareholders.
Ingen af oplysningerne i dossieret viste, at den pågældende virksomheds ledelsesbeslutninger var usædvanlige eller uforsigtige eller havde en indvirkning på hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
None of the information in the file showed that any of the management decisions of the company concerned were unusual or imprudent or had an impact on the entire Union industry.
Påstandene i denne henseende blev derfor afvist.
Therefore, the arguments in this respect were rejected.
Andre offentlige politikker
Other government policies
En interesseret part påstod, at den væsentlige skade, der påførtes EU-erhvervsgrenen, skyldtes andre offentlige politikker såsom politikker for vedvarende energi, politikker om innovationsfremme, politikker til bekæmpelse af bureaukrati, handelsfremmepolitikker og bestemmelser om netadgang, da disse politikker er til fordel for de eksporterende producenter.
One interested party claimed that the material injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by other government policies such as renewable energy policies, policies aimed at encouraging innovation, policies of cutting red tape, trade facilitation policies and grid access regulations, as these policies benefit the exporting producers.
Selv om det er sandt, at visse af de omtalte politikker fremmer importen fra andre tredjelande og den generelle vækst inden for solenergi, kan disse politikker dog også være til fordel for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
However, even if it is true that certain of the claimed policies might facilitate imports from other third countries and overall growth of solar industry, these policies would also benefit the Union industry.
Endvidere var disse politikker ikke beregnet til at fremme en sådan import til Unionen til skadevoldende dumpingpriser.
Moreover, these policies should not be meant that such imports in the Union should be made at injurious dumped prices.
