For at sikre en rimelig sammenligning mellem den normale værdi og eksportprisen hos den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent blev der i form af justeringer taget behørigt hensyn til forskelle i transport- og forsikringsomkostninger, provision og bankgebyrer, som påvirkede priserne og prissammenligneligheden, jf. grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 10.
For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price of the cooperating exporting producer, and in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made with regard to differences in transport, insurance, commission and bank charges which affected prices and price comparability.
Dumpingmargenen blev beregnet ud fra en sammenligning mellem det vejede gennemsnit af den normale værdi og det vejede gennemsnit af eksportprisen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 11.
As provided for under Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin was established on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average normal value with the weighted average export price.
For den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent viste denne sammenligning, at der forekom dumping.
For the cooperating exporting producer, that comparison showed the existence of dumping.
Dumpingmargenen udgjorde over 60 %.
The dumping margin amounted to more than 60 %.
For Kina som helhed fastslog en sammenligning mellem den vejede gennemsnitlige eksportpris for import fra Kina af den pågældende vare, jf. Eurostat, og en vejet gennemsnitlig normal værdi beregnet for referencelandet (behørigt justeret for at afspejle det sandsynlige varesortiment i importen fra Kina med henblik på varesortimentet i forbindelse med den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producents EU-salg af sammenlignelige varetyper) også betydelig dumping på endnu højere niveauer.
For China as a whole, a comparison of the weighted average export price for Chinese imports of the product concerned, as reported in Eurostat, and a weighted average normal value established for the analogue country (duly adjusted to reflect the likely product mix of the Chinese imports in view of the product mix of the EU sales of the cooperating exporting producer for comparable product types), also established considerable dumping at even higher levels.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede en europæisk erhvervsorganisation, at den i modsætning til de kinesiske eksporterende producenter og de spanske producenter ikke havde mulighed for at efterprøve de nøjagtige beregninger (dumping og skade), og bad derfor Kommissionen om at fremlægge nærmere oplysninger om dumpingberegningen.
Subsequent to final disclosure, a European trade association claimed that, as opposed to Chinese exporting producers and Spanish producers, it did not have any possibility to verify the exact calculations (dumping and injury) and therefore asked the Commission to provide the dumping calculation details.
Under en høring under overværelse af høringskonsulenten var der tre importører, som også gav udtryk for, at de ville have foretrukket at modtage nærmere oplysninger om dumpingberegningen.
During the hearing in the presence of the Hearing Officer, three importers also signalled that they would have preferred to receive details on the calculation of dumping.
I den forbindelse bør det bemærkes, at de data, hvorpå Kommissionen baserede sine beregninger, indeholder forretningshemmeligheder og fortrolige oplysninger.
In this respect, it should be noted that the data on which the Commission based its calculations contains business secrets and confidential information.
Den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent, der leverede dataene, har på behørig vis modtaget en specifik fremlæggelse af de nærmere oplysninger om dumping- og skadesberegningen og har ikke fremsat bemærkninger eller anmodninger om præcisering.
The cooperating exporting producer which supplied such data has duly received specific disclosure of the detailed dumping and injury calculations and did not make any comments or requests for clarification.
Kommissionen kan ikke stille disse data til rådighed for andre interesserede parter uden at tilsidesætte deres fortrolige karakter.
The Commission cannot make that data available for inspection by other interested parties without breaching its confidential nature.
Kommissionen underrettede imidlertid alle interesserede parter om, hvilken metode den havde anvendt, jf. betragtning 30-36 ovenfor.
However, the methodology used by the Commission, as described in recitals 30-36 above, was disclosed to all interested parties.
Høringskonsulenten underrettede på nævnte høring importørerne om muligheden for at anmode ham om at efterprøve Kommissionens beregning, hvis de havde betænkeligheder med hensyn til dens nøjagtighed.
The Hearing Officer, during the mentioned hearing, informed the importers of the possibility of requesting him to verify the Commission's calculation if they had concerns on its accuracy.
De tre importører anmodede imidlertid ikke høringskonsulenten om at gribe ind i den forbindelse.
The three importers however did not request an intervention of the Hearing Officer in this respect.
Under alle omstændigheder beregnede den europæiske erhvervsorganisation selv en dumpingmargen ved at sammenligne Eurostats gennemsnitlige importpriser fra Kina med Eurostats gennemsnitlige importpriser fra Tyrkiet.
In any event, the European trade association calculated itself a dumping margin, comparing average Eurostat import prices from China with the average Eurostat import prices from Turkey.
Ifølge denne erhvervsorganisation tyder en sådan sammenligning på et lavere dumpingniveau på omkring 30 %.
According to that trade association, such comparison would suggest a lower level of dumping, circa 30 %.
I så henseende bør det for det første bemærkes, at i en udløbsundersøgelse er det nøjagtige dumpingniveau af mindre betydning end i forbindelse med en undersøgelse, hvor toldsatsen fastsættes.
In this respect, it should first be noted that, in an expiry review, the exact level of dumping is of less importance than in an investigation in which the level of the duty is determined.
For det andet byggede Kommissionens beregning, jf. betragtning 30-33 ovenfor, på »rigtige« data for den normale værdi fra den samarbejdsvillige og efterprøvede tyrkiske producent, og sammenligningen med de kinesiske eksportpriser blev foretaget på et detaljeret niveau.
Secondly, as explained in recitals 30-33 above, the Commission's calculation was based on ‘real’ normal value data from the cooperating and verified Turkish producer and the comparison with the Chinese export prices was made at a detailed level.
Derfor anses de data, hvorpå Kommissionen bygger sin beregning, for meget mere pålidelige og præcise end det skøn, som sammenslutningen fremkommer med i sine bemærkninger til fremlæggelsen.
Therefore, the data on which the Commission based its calculation is considered much more reliable and precise than the estimate suggested by the association in its comments to the disclosure.
Under høringen med høringskonsulenten var der endvidere tre importører, som hævdede, at der ikke fandt dumping sted.
During the hearing with the Hearing Officer, three importers further claimed that there was no dumping.
De byggede denne påstand på det forhold, at Kommissionen havde konstateret, at den samarbejdsvillige kinesiske eksporterende producents gennemsnitlige salgspriser til en række vigtige ikke-EU-markeder lå under de gennemsnitlige salgspriser til EU-markedet.
They based that claim on the fact that the Commission had found that the average sales prices of the cooperating Chinese exporting producer to several important non-EU markets were below the average sales price to the Union market.
Denne påstand må afvises, da dumping er salg på et givet marked til priser under den normale værdi, ikke til priser, der er lavere end de priser, som blev opnået på andre tredjelandsmarkeder.
This claim has to be rejected as dumping is selling in a given market at prices below normal value, not at prices below those achieved in other third markets.
Udviklingen i importen ved ophævelse af foranstaltningerne
Development of imports should measures be repealed
For så vidt angår den samlede kinesiske produktionskapacitet og den uudnyttede kapacitet, modtog Kommissionen ingen oplysninger fra nogen af de kinesiske producenter eller andre interesserede parter.
During a big part of the RIP there were no measures in force in the EU, since they had been annulled (see recital 2 above).
I overensstemmelse grundforordningens artikel 18 drog Kommissionen sine konklusioner ud fra de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger.
During that period without measures, there was peak in imports in 2011/12 followed by a drop during the rests of the review investigation period.
Ifølge den rapport, som blev offentliggjort af Foreign Agricultural Service of the US Department of Agriculture (FSA/USDA), som indgik i anmodningen om fornyet undersøgelse, og som også er offentligt tilgængelig [7], voksede mængden af friske mandariner til forarbejdning, dvs. produktion af mandariner på dåse, i Kina med 27 % mellem 2009/10 (520000 ton) og den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode (660000 ton).
This actually reflects a stock piling effect rather than a genuine increase/decrease in consumption and is attributed to the high level of Chinese imports which took place between March and July 2012, when the measures were not in force.
Produktionen af mandariner på dåse fra Kina fulgte en lignende tendens.
Production, domestic consumption and exporting capacity of the Chinese producers
Ifølge rapporten øgede Kina produktionen af mandariner på dåse fra 347000 ton i 2009/10 til 440000 ton i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
As concerns the total Chinese production capacity and spare capacity, the Commission did not obtain information from any of the Chinese producers or other interested parties.
I betragtning af ovenstående oplysninger vurderes mængden af kinesiske mandariner på dåse til eksport at være på omkring 340000 ton i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
In accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation the Commission made its findings on the basis of facts available.
Andre tilgængelige kilder indeholder let afvigende skøn vedrørende mængden af kinesiske mandariner på dåse til eksport mellem 2009 og 2014 [9].
According to the report published by the Foreign Agricultural Service of the US Department of Agriculture (FSA/USDA) which was included in the review request and which is also publicly available [7], the amount of fresh mandarins devoted to processing, that is production of canned mandarins, in China increased by 27 % between 2009/2010 (520000 tonnes) and the review investigation period (660000 tonnes).
EU-markedets tiltrækningskraft
The production of Chinese canned mandarins followed a similar trend.
Det forhold, at Kina i perioden 2002-2007 (hvor der ikke var indført antidumpingforanstaltninger) eksporterede betydeligt flere mandariner på dåse i gennemsnit pr. sæson (36 % flere) end i perioden 2009-2013 (hvor der blev pålagt told, undtagen mellem 22. marts 2012 og 23. februar 2013), skønt den samlede mængde til eksport fra Kina på verdensplan var lavere i den første periode end i den anden, bekræfter yderligere sandsynligheden for, at de kinesiske producenter vil øge deres eksportmængder til Unionen til det niveau, man oplevede i forbindelse med den oprindelige undersøgelse, hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves.
According to this report, China increased the production of canned mandarins from 347000 tonnes in 2009/2010 to 440000 tonnes in the review investigation period.
Med hensyn til eksporten til tredjelande viste undersøgelsen, at den samarbejdsvillige virksomheds gennemsnitlige salgspriser ved eksport til en række vigtige markeder (som f.eks. Japan, Malaysia, Filippinerne, Thailand) lå under de gennemsnitlige salgspriser til Unionen i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
As another publicly available source estimated that domestic consumption at 50000-100000 tonnes [8], an estimate of a domestic consumption of 100000 tonnes appears to be reasonable.
Det kan derfor forventes, at den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent i en situation uden foranstaltninger ville omdirigere i hvert fald en del af eksporten til Unionen.
Taking the above information into account, the amount of Chinese canned mandarins available for export can be estimated to be around 340000 tonnes in the review investigation period.
Ud fra disse statistikker anslås det, at der blev solgt omkring 20000 ton af den pågældende vare til eksportmarkeder til gennemsnitspriser, som er lavere end dem i EU, i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode, selv om der ikke var nogen antidumpingtold på importen fra Kina på disse markeder.
However, in spite of those differences, they all indicate that the amount of Chinese canned mandarins available for export was at least 300000 tonnes per reported annual season between 2009 and 2013.
Ud fra størrelsen af det nuværende europæiske marked for mandariner på dåse (samlet EU-forbrug: 44523 ton) og ifølge oplysninger fra de kinesiske eksportstatistikker ville mængden af den nuværende eksport fra Kina til EU plus den potentielle mængde, som det giver økonomisk mening at omdirigere til Unionen, med andre ord næsten dække hele EU-efterspørgslen efter mandariner på dåse.
Attractiveness of the Union market
Konklusion vedrørende sandsynligheden for fortsat dumping
Even if imports from China during the review investigation period were 19253 tonnes, import data from the original investigation, covering the 2002-2007 period, show that Chinese manufacturers can allocate more than 60000 tonnes per season to the Union market, as confirmed by Eurostat import data concerning the 2011/2012 season.
Undersøgelsen har bekræftet, at importen fra Kina fortsatte med at trænge ind på EU-markedet til dumpingpriser i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
Moreover, the high level of imports in 2011/2012, a period during which measures were not applicable for the majority of the time (namely, as from 22 March 2012), shows that the Union is an attractive market for Chinese manufacturers in terms of prices and that significant volumes of Chinese dumped imports would reach the Union market if the current anti-dumping measures are repealed.
I betragtning af den fortsatte dumping, det forhold, at EU-markedet er et betydeligt marked, som var interessant for de kinesiske eksportører tilbage i tiden, og at produktionskapaciteten i Kina ligger over det samlede EU-forbrug samt de kinesiske producenters påviste vilje og evne til hurtigt at øge eksporten til Unionen, hvis der er et incitament, konkluderes det, at der er en sandsynlighed for fortsat dumping, hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves.
The fact that China exported to the Union in 2002-2007 period (when no anti-dumping measures were imposed) considerably more canned mandarins on average per season (by 36 %) than in 2009-2013 period (when duties were imposed except between 22 March 2012 and 23 February 2013), although the total volumes available for Chinese export worldwide were lower in the first period than in the second one, further corroborates the likelihood that the Chinese producers will increase their export volumes to the Union to the levels witnessed during the original investigation if the measures are repealed.
SKADE
Export prices to third countries
Generelle bemærkninger
With regard to exports to third countries, the investigation showed that in the review investigation period the average sales prices of the cooperating company's exports to several important markets (such as Japan, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand) were below the average sales prices to the Union.
Mandariner høstes om efteråret og om vinteren, og høst- og forarbejdningssæsonen starter i begyndelsen af oktober og slutter omkring udgangen af januar (for visse sorter februar eller marts) det følgende år.
It can therefore be expected that in the absence of measures, the cooperating exporting producer would shift at least part of those exports to the Union.
De fleste købs- (f.eks. ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importørers) og salgskontrakter forhandles i de første måneder af hver sæson.
Also the Chinese export statistics concerning prepared and/or preserved citrus fruit, in airtight container, demonstrate that there is a likelihood of redirection of Chinese exports to the Union.
Praksis i mandarinkonservesindustrien er at benytte sæsonen (perioden fra 1. oktober i et år til 30. september i det følgende år) som sammenligningsgrundlag.
Indeed, based on these statistics it is estimated that, during the review investigation period, approximately 20000 tonnes of the product concerned were sold to export destinations with average prices below those obtained in the EU, even though there were no anti-dumping duties applicable to imports from China on those markets.
Som i den oprindelige undersøgelse benyttede Kommissionen denne praksis i sin analyse.
During the review investigation period that volume would equal the Union industry domestic sales and 71 % of the total Union industry production.
EU-produktion og EU-erhvervsgren
In other words, on the basis of the current European canned mandarins market size (total EU consumption: 44523 tonnes) and according to the information from the Chinese export statistics, the Chinese volume of current EU exports plus the potential volume for which it makes economic sense to redirect it to the Union would almost cover the complete EU demand of canned mandarins.
I den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode blev samme vare fremstillet i Unionen af fem producenter.
Conclusion of the likelihood of continuation of dumping
Den samlede EU-produktion af samme vare i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode blev fastlagt ud fra spørgeskemabesvarelserne fra fire individuelle producenter, som blev efterprøvet under et kontrolbesøg på stedet.
The investigation has confirmed that Chinese imports continued to enter the Union market at dumped prices during the review investigation period.
Produktionen hos den sidste producent, som ikke udviste tilstrækkelig samarbejdsvilje, og hos hvem der ikke blev foretaget et kontrolbesøg på stedet, blev fastlagt ud fra spørgeskemabesvarelsen fra denne producent krydstjekket med klagen.
Given the continued dumping, the fact that the Union market is a significant market which was interesting for the Chinese exporters in the past, the production capacities available in China going beyond the total Union consumption as well as the proven willingness and ability of Chinese producers to increase rapidly the exports to the Union should there be an incentive, it is concluded there is a likelihood of continuation of dumping should measures be removed.
På dette grundlag blev den samlede EU-produktion anslået til at være på omkring 28500 ton i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
INJURY
Det konkluderes, at ovennævnte EU-producenter, der tegner sig for den samlede EU-produktion, udgør EU-erhvervsgrenen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 1, og artikel 5, stk. 4.
General remarks
Åbenbart forbrug på EU-markedet
Mandarins are harvested in autumn and winter, with the harvesting and processing season starting early October and finishing around the end of January (for certain varieties, February or March) the following year.
EU-forbruget blev fastlagt ud fra importdata som angivet af Eurostat på Taric- (Fællesskabets integrerede toldtarif) niveau og således nøjagtigt sammenfaldende med definitionen af den pågældende vare — og ud fra EU-erhvervsgrenens EU-salgsmængder.
Most purchase (for example by unrelated importers) and sales contracts are negotiated in the first months of each season.
Det bør bemærkes, at selv om analysen er baseret på sæsoner snarere end kalenderår, afspejler ovennævnte metode ikke nødvendigvis forbruget på industrielt bruger-/forbrugerniveau.
Practice in the mandarin preserving industry is to use the season (the period from 1 October in one year to 30 September in the following year) as the basis for comparisons.
I betragtning af det sæsonbetingede udsving i råvarerne (frisk frugt) er det almindelig praksis i sektoren både for importører og EU-producenter at opbygge lagre, når frisk frugt kommer på dåse, og sælge de forarbejdede varer til distributører eller industrielle brugere i løbet af året.
As in the original investigation, the Commission adopted this practice in its analysis.
Forbruget kan således af og til blive berørt af lageropbygningseffekter.
Union production and Union industry
På det grundlag udviklede EU-forbruget sig således i den betragtede periode:
During the review investigation period, the like product was manufactured in the union by five Union producers.
Tabel 1
The total union production of the like product during the review investigation period was established on the basis of questionnaire replies provided by four individual producers which were verified during an on-spot verification.
2009/10
The production of the remaining producer, who did not adequately cooperate and was not subject to an on-site verification visit, was based on the reply to the questionnaire submitted by that producer cross-checked with the complaint.
2010/11
On this basis, the total Union production was estimated to be around 28500 tonnes during the review investigation period.
2011/12
It is concluded that the above Union producers accounting for the total Union production constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Articles 4(1) and 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Nuværende undersøgelsesperiode
Apparent consumption in the Union market
EU-forbrug (ton)
The Union consumption was established on the basis of import data as reported by Eurostat at TARIC (integrated community tariff) level, thus exactly coinciding with the definition of the product concerned — and on the basis of the EU sales volumes of the Union industry.
2009/10 = 100
It should be noted that, even though the analysis is based on seasons rather than calendar years, the above methodology does not necessarily reflect the consumption at industrial user/consumer level.
I den betragtede periode lå EU-forbruget af citrusfrugter gennemsnitligt på lidt under 70000 ton.
Indeed, given the seasonality of the main raw material (fresh fruits), it is common practice in the sector for both importers and Union producers to build up stocks when fresh fruits are canned, and sell the processed products to distributors or industrial users throughout the year.
Importen toppede imidlertid i 2011/12, fulgt af et fald i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
The consumption may thus sometimes be affected by stock-piling effects.
Denne udvikling afspejler faktisk en lageropbygningseffekt snarere end en reel vækst/et reelt fald i forbruget og tilskrives det høje niveau af import fra Kina, der forefandtes mellem marts og juli 2012, hvor foranstaltningerne midlertidigt ikke var gældende, jf. betragtning 2.
On this basis, during the period considered the Union consumption developed as follows:
Den toppende import i 2011/12 blev udlignet af et lavere importniveau i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode og dermed et lavere EU-forbrug.
Table 1
En række importører hævdede, at de ikke havde foretaget lageropbygning.
2009/2010
De gjorde ligeledes gældende, at siden 6. oktober 2011, hvor generaladvokaten afgav udtalelse i sag C-338/10, havde de allerede været overbevist om, at Domstolen ville annullere foranstaltningerne.
2010/2011
De udsatte derfor toldbehandlingen af den pågældende vare, indtil Domstolen havde truffet endelig afgørelse.
2011/2012
I den forbindelse bør der mindes om, at lageropbygning kan defineres som opbygning og oplagring af en reserveforsyning.
Review investigation period
Derefter og frem til udgangen af NUP faldt det gennemsnitlige importniveau til kun omkring 1650 ton pr. måned, hvilket var omkring 2000 ton mindre pr. måned i forhold til gennemsnitsimportniveauet i perioden forud for annulleringen af foranstaltningerne.
Union consumption (tonnes)
Kommissionen konkluderede, at for at nå et så betydeligt niveau af månedlig import inden for en relativt kort periode måtte importørerne have opbygget lagre med store mængder af den pågældende vare.
Index (2009/2010 = 100)
