Enhedsproduktionsomkostningerne fulgte samme tendens, dvs. først steg de i 2012, så faldt de i 2013, og dernæst steg de igen i NUP.
Table 8
Disse udsving var dog ubetydelige og kun mellem 1 % og 2 %.
Number of employees
De gennemsnitlige enhedsproduktionsomkostninger steg samlet set med 1 % i den betragtede periode.
Productivity (unit/employee)
Derfor betød den lidt større stigning i salgspriserne i den betragtede periode en forbedring af rentabiliteten for EU-producenterne, som dog forblev negativ i hele den betragtede periode, jf. betragtning 94.
During the period considered the number of employees progressively decreased by 14 % from 1092 employees in 2011 to 947 employees in the RIP.
Arbejdskraftomkostninger
As the production remained at the same level in 2012 and 2013, the productivity of the Union producers' workforce measured as output (tonnes) per person employed per year, rose by respectively 12 % and 16 % in these years compared to 2011.
De gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
In the RIP the productivity decreased as a result of the decline in production but it exceeded the level of 2011 by 6 %.

Microeconomic indicators
Gennemsnitlige lønomkostninger pr. ansat
Prices and factors affecting prices
Gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat (EUR)
The weighted average unit sales prices of the sampled Union producers to unrelated customers in the Union developed over the period considered as follows:
De gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat fulgte en let stigende tendens i den betragtede periode.
Table 9
Mellem 2011 og NUP steg de gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat med 4 % til 55715 EUR.
Sales prices in the Union and unit cost
Reduktionen af personalet med 14 % i den betragtede periode medførte ikke umiddelbare besparelser for virksomhederne på grund af gebyrer, der skyldtes kontrakternes opsigelse.
Source: Verified data of the sampled companies.
Lagerbeholdninger
Average unit selling price in the Union on the total market (EUR/tonnes)
Lagerbeholdningerne hos EU-producenterne i stikprøven udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
Unit cost of production (EUR/ton)
Tabel 11
The sales prices in the Union remained relatively stable and showed only minor fluctuations.
Slutlagre (ton)
Thus they increased in 2012 by 5 %, decreased in 2013 by 4 % and increased again in the RIP by 3 %.
Slutlagre i procent af produktionen
In the period considered prices increased overall by 4 %.
Slutlagrene øgedes først svagt i 2012 og reduceredes derefter igen fra 2012 til 2013 med 1 % og fra 2013 til NUP med 16 %.
The unit cost of production followed the same trend, i.e. it first increased in 2012, then decreased in 2013 and increased again in the RIP.
Samlet reduceredes lagrene med 14 % i den betragtede periode.
However, these fluctuations were minor and only between 1 % and 2 %.
I forhold til produktionsniveauet reduceredes slutlagrene med 1 procentpoint mellem 2011 og NUP.
Overall, the unit cost of production increased by 1 % during the period considered.
Rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast og evne til at rejse kapital
Therefore, the slightly higher increase of the sales prices during the period considered allowed improving profitability of the Union producers, which nevertheless remained negative throughout the period considered as shown in recital 94.
De stikprøveudvalgte EU-producenters rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer og investeringsafkast udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
Labour costs
Tabel 12
The average labour costs of the sampled Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Rentabilitet ved salg i Unionen til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder (% af omsætningen)
Average labour costs per employee
Investeringer (EUR)
The average labour costs per employee had a slightly increasing trend in the period considered.
Investeringsafkast
Between 2011 and the RIP the average labour costs per employee increased by 4 % to EUR 55715.
Kommissionen fastsatte rentabiliteten for EU-producenterne i stikprøven til 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.
The reduction of the personnel by 14 % in the period considered did not bring immediate economies to the companies due to charges resulting from the termination of the contracts.
Nettolikviditeten er et udtryk for EU-producenternes evne til at selvfinansiere deres aktiviteter.
Inventories
Likviditeten var negativ i den betragtede periode trods en forbedring, især i 2012.
Stock levels of the sampled Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Investeringerne fulgte en stigende tendens og rettede sig mod en forbedring af sikkerheden for produktionsprocessen, lavere energiforbrug og en styrkelse af konkurrenceevnen og kvaliteten i forbindelse med rørfittings.
Table 11
Investeringerne steg i 2012 og igen i 2013, men faldt i NUP.
Closing stocks (tonnes)
I forhold til 2011 steg investeringerne med 30 % i 2012, med 82 % i 2013 og med 41 % i NUP.
Closing stocks as a percentage of production
En sådan stigning i investeringerne gav sig imidlertid ikke udslag i et positivt investeringsafkast, som er fortjenesten i procent af den bogførte nettoværdi af investeringerne.
The closing stock first slightly increased in 2012 and then decreased again, from 2012 to 2013 by 1 % and from 2013 to the RIP by 16 %.
Det lå på mellem – 21,4 % i 2011 og – 15,3 % i NUP.
Overall, the stocks decreased by 14 % during the period considered.
Dumpingmargenens størrelse og genrejsning efter tidligere dumping
Compared to the level of production, the closing stock decreased by 1 percentage point between 2011 and the RIP.
Den dumpingmargen, der blev konstateret i undersøgelsen, ligger et godt stykke over bagatelgrænsen.
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital
Konklusion vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenens situation
Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments
Næsten alle de vigtigste skadesindikatorer viste en negativ tendens.
Profitability of sales in the Union to unrelated customers (% of sales turnover)
Produktionsmængden faldt med 9 %, og produktionskapaciteten med 11 % i den betragtede periode.
Cash flow (EUR)
EU-erhvervsgrenen havde fortsat store tab i hele den betragtede periode.
Investments (EUR)
Selv om der skete en beskeden forbedring, beløb EU-erhvervsgrenens tab sig til – 9,1 % i NUP.
Return on investments
Desuden havde EU-erhvervsgrenen en konstant negativ likviditet og et fald i beskæftigelsen på ca. 11 % i den betragtede periode.
The Commission established the profitability of the sampled Union producers by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales.
Endvidere faldt salget med 16 %, og EU-producenternes markedsandel faldt med 12 procentpoint.
During the period considered the Union industry suffered significant losses.
Lagerbeholdningerne forbedredes let, idet de gik tilbage med 14 %, og investeringerne steg med 41 % i den betragtede periode.
In 2011 the industry registered a loss of – 11,2 %, which decreased to – 5,5 % in 2012 to increase again in 2013 and in the RIP to – 8,3 % and – 9,1 %, respectively.
Sidstnævnte var dog nødvendig, bl.a. for at EU-producenterne kunne konkurrere på markedet.
The net cash flow is the ability of the Union producers to self-finance their activities.
En sådan vækst udelukker imidlertid ikke i sig selv, at der er tale om skade og bør snarere ses som en del af den igangværende omstruktureringsproces for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The cash flow remained negative in the period considered despite an improvement, in particular in 2012.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen, at EU-erhvervsgrenen led væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
The investments followed an increasing trend and were related to improve security of the production process, lower the energy consumption and increase the competitiveness and quality of TPFs.
SANDSYNLIGHEDEN FOR FORTSAT SKADE
Investments increased in 2012 and again in 2013 but decreased in the RIP.
Konsekvenser af den forventede importmængde og prismæssige virkninger af en ophævelse af foranstaltningerne
Compared to 2011 the investments increased by 30 % in 2012, by 82 % in 2013 and by 41 % in the RIP.
I betragtning 57 konkluderede Kommissionen, at ophævelsen af foranstaltningerne efter al sandsynlighed vil føre til fornyet dumpingimport fra de pågældende lande.
Such an increase in investments did not however translate into a positive return on investments, which is the profit in percentage of the net book value of investments.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt væsentlig skade i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode, hvilket bl.a. har givet sig udslag i et fald i produktion, salgsmængde, markedsandel, beskæftigelse og en fortsat mangel på fortjeneste, jf. betragtning 101.
It ranged between – 21,4 % in 2011 and – 15,3 % in the RIP.
På trods af den høje told steg importmængden fra Kina betydeligt i den betragtede periode, og således fordobledes den kinesiske markedsandel (jf. betragtning 65).
Magnitude of the dumping margin and recovery from past dumping
Pristrykket på EU-markedet forblev meget højt på grund af de betydelige underbudsmargener, der blev konstateret i NUP.
The dumping margin established by the investigation is well above the de minimis level.
Som nævnt ovenfor i betragtning 52 udgjorde den uudnyttede produktionskapacitet i Kina desuden næsten tre gange EU-forbruget i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
The impact of the magnitude of the actual margin of dumping on the Union industry is substantial, given the volume and prices of imports from the country concerned.
Hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves, er det derfor sandsynligt, at store mængder af den pågældende vare vil trænge ind på EU-markedet.
The Union industry was still in a recovery process from the effects of past injurious dumping by imports of TPFs originating in Russia, Turkey, Republic of Korea and Malaysia.
I betragtning af den prisadfærd, som de eksporterende producenter i det pågældende land har udvist og udviser, forventes det, at importen fortsat vil finde sted til dumpingpriser, som underbyder EU-erhvervsgrenens priser i betragtelig grad.
Conclusion on the situation of the Union industry
En dumpingimport ville således uden tvivl have negative virkninger for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Almost all main injury indicators showed a negative trend.
Den ville medføre et endnu voldsommere pristryk på EU-erhvervsgrenen og således bidrage til en yderligere forringelse af EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle resultater.
The production volume decreased by 9 % and the production capacity by 11 % during the period considered.
Denne import ville fortsat udgøre en markedsandel på EU-markedet på EU-erhvervsgrenens bekostning.
The Union industry remained in important losses during the entire period considered.
Det ville føre til en endnu lavere kapacitetsudnyttelse i EU-erhvervsgrenen, hvilket er et af de afgørende elementer, der bidrager til de negative resultater hos EU-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode.
Although slightly improving, the losses of the Union industry amounted to – 9,1 % in the RIP.
Kommissionen konkluderede derfor, at ophævelsen af foranstaltningerne sandsynligvis ville føre til fortsat skade for EU-erhvervsgrenen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 11, stk. 2.
In addition, the Union industry had a continuously negative cash flow and a reduction in employment by about 11 % in the period considered.
UNIONENS INTERESSE
Moreover the sales went down by 16 % and the market share of the Union producers shrank by 12 percentage points.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 21 undersøgte Kommissionen, om en opretholdelse af de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger mod Kina ville være i strid med Unionens interesse som helhed.
The inventories slightly improved by decreasing by 14 % and the investments increased by 41 % during the period considered.
Unionens interesse blev fastsat på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenens, importørernes og brugernes interesser.
The latter however were necessary for the Union producers, inter alia, to be able to compete on the market.
Alle interesserede parter fik, jf. grundforordningens artikel 21, stk. 2, mulighed for at gøre deres synspunkter gældende.
Such growth alone, though, does not preclude the existence of injury and should rather be seen as a part of the ongoing restructuring process of the Union industry.
På dette grundlag blev det undersøgt, om der til trods for konklusionerne om sandsynligheden for fortsat dumping og sandsynligheden for fortsat skade var tvingende grunde til at konkludere, at det ikke var i Unionens interesse at opretholde de gældende foranstaltninger.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse
LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUATION OF INJURY
De gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger forhindrede ikke dumpingimport i at komme ind på EU-markedet, og EU-erhvervsgrenen led væsentlig skade i den betragtede periode.
Impact of the projected volume of imports and price effects in case of repeal of measures
EU-erhvervsgrenen viste sig i strukturel henseende at være en levedygtig erhvervsgren.
In recital 57, the Commission concluded that the repeal of the measures would in all likelihood result in a continuation of dumped imports from the country concerned.
Bestræbelserne på at rationalisere produktionsprocessen og fremme konkurrenceevnen og kvaliteten førte i NUP til en øget produktivitet (med 6 %) og en lavere produktionskapacitet (med 11 %).
The investigation has shown that the Union industry suffered material injury during the review investigation period, which was translated, inter alia, in a drop in production, sales volume, market share, employment and a continuous lack of profit as referred to in recital 101.
De gjorde sig også gældende i form af investeringer (se betragtning 98).
Despite the high duties in place, the volume of imports from China increased significantly during the period considered and consequently the Chinese market share doubled (see recital 65).
Endelig udviklede EU-erhvervsgrenens fortjenstgivende eksportaktivitet sig positivt og viste, at den var konkurrencedygtig på markeder i tredjelande (eksporten for producenterne i stikprøven steg med 10 % i den betragtede periode).
The price pressure in the Union market remained very high given the significant undercutting margins found during the RIP.
Hvis foranstaltningerne bortfalder, vil den forventede tilstrømning af store mængder dumpingimport fra det pågældende land forringe EU-erhvervsgrenens situation yderligere.
Furthermore, as mentioned above in recital 52, available spare production capacity in China represented almost three times the Union consumption during the review investigation period.
Denne tilstrømning ville sandsynligvis bl.a. forårsage yderligere tab af markedsandele, faldende salgspriser og kapacitetsudnyttelse og generelt en yderligere alvorlig forværring af EU-erhvervsgrenens finansielle situation.
Therefore, should the measures be repealed, it is likely that high volumes of the product concerned will penetrate the Union market.
Således konkluderede Kommissionen, at det ville være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse at opretholde antidumpingforanstaltningerne.
Considering the past and current price behaviour of the exporting producers in the country concerned it is expected that imports will continue to be at dumped prices thus undercutting the Union industry's prices significantly.
Ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører og brugere
Dumped imports would certainly have a negative impact on the Union industry.
Tolv importører samarbejdede i forbindelse med den nuværende undersøgelse, men kun seks rapporterede om import af rørfittings fra det pågældende land.
It would exercise an even stronger price pressure on the Union industry and would thus contribute to further deteriorating the financial results of the Union industry.
Der blev udtaget en stikprøve på tre ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører, der tegner sig for 15 % af den samlede import fra Kina i NUP.
These imports would continue to take up market share on the Union market at the Union Industry's expense.
Den pågældende vare udgjorde i gennemsnit kun omkring 10 % af deres samlede salg.
This would result in even lower capacity utilisation by the Union industry which is one of the crucial elements contributing to the negative results of the Union industry over the period considered.
Deres forretningsaktivitet i forbindelse med den pågældende vare har været rentabel.
The Commission therefore concluded that the repeal of the measures in force would very likely result in a continuation of injury to the Union Industry within the meaning of Article 11(2) of the basic regulation.
På dette grundlag har de gældende foranstaltninger ikke påvirket de kontrollerede importører væsentligt.
UNION INTEREST
Det fremgik også af undersøgelsen, at importørerne fortsatte med at importere den pågældende vare i betydelige mængder og endog øgede disse i den betragtede periode.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether maintaining the existing anti-dumping measures against China would be against the interest of the Union as a whole.
Det er derfor også usandsynligt, at en videreførelse af foranstaltningerne ville føre til en forværring af deres økonomiske situation i fremtiden.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers and users.
Ingen af brugerne samarbejdede eller gav sig til kende i forbindelse med den nuværende undersøgelse.
All interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known pursuant to Article 21(2) of the basic Regulation.
Deres mangel på samarbejde synes at bekræfte konklusionerne i den oprindelige undersøgelse om, at rørfittings tegner sig for en meget beskeden del af deres samlede produktionsomkostninger, og at de gældende foranstaltninger ikke synes at have forårsaget noget tab af konkurrenceevne for dem.
On this basis it was examined whether, despite the conclusions on the likelihood of continuation of dumping and on the likelihood of continuation of injury, compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that it was not in the Union interest to maintain the existing measures.
Konklusion vedrørende Unionens interesse
Interest of the Union industry
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen, at der ikke var tvingende grunde til ikke at forlænge de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger.
The anti-dumping measures in force did not prevent dumped imports from entering the Union market and the Union industry suffered material injury during the period considered.
ANTIDUMPINGFORANSTALTNINGER
The Union industry proved to be a structurally viable industry.
Det følger af ovenstående betragtninger, at i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 11, stk. 2, bør antidumpingforanstaltningerne vedrørende importen af visse rørfittings med oprindelse i Kina opretholdes.
The efforts aimed at rationalisation of the production process and enhancement of competitiveness and quality resulted in the RIP in an increased productivity (by 6 %) and a reduced production capacity (by 11 %).
Som følge heraf bør udvidelsen af foranstaltningerne over for den pågældende vare med oprindelse i Kina til at omfatte import afsendt fra Taiwan [14], Indonesien [15], Sri Lanka [16] og Filippinerne [17], uanset om varen er angivet med oprindelse i Taiwan, Indonesien, Sri Lanka og Filippinerne, opretholdes.
They were also visible through investments (see recital 98).
Denne forordning er i overensstemmelse med udtalelsen fra det udvalg, der er nedsat i medfør af grundforordningens artikel 15, stk. 1 —
Finally, profitable export activity of the Union industry developed positively showing that it was competitive on third country markets (exports of the sampled producers increased by 10 % over the period considered).
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
Should the measures be allowed to lapse, the likely influx of substantial volumes of dumped imports from the country concerned would deteriorate further the situation of the Union industry.
Artikel 1
This influx would likely cause, amongst others, further loss of market share, decrease in sales price, decrease in capacity utilisation and in general a further serious deterioration of the Union industry's financial situation.
Der indføres en endelig antidumpingtold på importen af rørfittings (undtagen støbte fittings, flanger og fittings med gevind) af jern eller stål (undtagen rustfrit stål), med største udvendige diameter på 609,6 mm og derunder, af den art der anvendes til stuksvejsning eller andre formål, med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina, i øjeblikket henhørende under KN-kode ex73079311, ex73079319 og ex73079980 (Taric-kode 7307931191, 7307931193, 7307931194, 7307931195, 7307931199, 7307931991, 7307931993, 7307931994, 7307931995, 7307931999, 7307998092, 7307998093, 7307998094, 7307998095 og 7307998098).
The Commission thus concluded that the maintenance of anti-dumping measures against China would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Den endelige antidumpingtold fastsættes til følgende af nettoprisen, frit Unionens grænse, ufortoldet, for de under stk. 1 beskrevne varer fremstillet af følgende virksomheder:
Interest of unrelated importers and users
Land
Twelve importers cooperated in the current investigation but only six reported imports of TPFs from the country concerned.
Virksomhed
A sample of three unrelated importers representing 15 % of the total imports from China in the RIP was selected.
Toldsats (%)
The product concerned constituted on average only about 10 % of their total sales.
Taric-tillægskode
Their business activity related to the product concerned has been profitable.
Kina
On this basis the measures in force have not affected significantly the verified importers.
Alle virksomheder
The investigation also revealed that the importers continued to import the product concerned in significant volumes, even raising them during the period considered.
Gældende bestemmelser vedrørende told finder anvendelse, medmindre andet er fastsat.
On the same grounds, it is unlikely that a continuation of the measures would lead to deterioration in their economic situation in the future.
Artikel 2
None of the users cooperated or made themselves known in the current investigation.
Denne forordning træder i kraft dagen efter offentliggørelsen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
Their lack of cooperation seems to confirm the conclusions reached in the original investigation that TPFs represent a very small part of their total production costs and that the measures in force do not appear to have caused any loss of competitiveness to them.
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i hver medlemsstat.
Conclusion on Union interest
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 27. oktober 2015.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that there were no compelling reasons against the extension of the anti-dumping measures in force.
På Kommissionens vegne
ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Jean-Claude Juncker
It follows from the above considerations that, under Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain tube and pipe fittings originating in China should be maintained.
EUT L 343 af 22.12.2009, s. 51.
As a consequence, the extension of the measures for the product concerned originating in China to imports consigned from Taiwan [14], Indonesia [15], Sri Lanka [16] and the Philippines [17], whether declared as originating in Taiwan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines or not, should also be maintained.
