Salgsmængde Indeks
Sales volume Index
EU-erhvervsgrenens salg faldt med 6,4 % i den betragtede periode til [450000-500000] i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Union industry sales decreased by 6,4 % during the period considered to 450-500000 in the investigation period.
Omfanget af EU-erhvervsgrenens mistede salg var betydeligt større, end det omfang forbruget faldt i.
The Union industry lost significantly larger volume of sales than the volume of decrease in consumption.
Det samlede forbrug af den pågældende vare i Unionen faldt med næsten 3,3 % i den betragtede periode.
The overall consumption of the product concerned in the Union decreased by almost 3,3 % in the period considered.
Forbruget faldt drastisk i 2012 med mere end 16 %, forblev lavt i 2013, og begyndte så at rette sig op i undersøgelsesperioden.
The consumption fell drastically in 2012 by more than 16 %, remained depressed in 2013 and started recovering in the investigation period.
I begyndelsen af den betragtede periode fulgte EU-erhvervsgrenens salg, importen fra tredjelande samt den indiske import udviklingen i forbruget.
At the beginning of the period considered the sales of the Union Industry, the imports from third countries as well as Indian imports fell in line with the consumption.
Men i 2013, hvor forbruget stadig var lavt, og EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet negativ, formåede de indiske producenter at øge både deres salg og markedsandel betydeligt.
However, in 2013, when the consumption was still depressed and the profitability of the Union industry negative, the Indian manufactures managed to increase significantly both their sales and the market share.
Den vellykkede stigning i det indiske salg (på et vigende marked) var mulig ved hjælp af aggressivt underbud og dumping.
Such a successful expansion of the Indian sales in a declining market was possible through aggressive undercutting and dumping practices.
Disse aggressive salgs- og prisstrategier fortsatte i undersøgelsesperioden.
The aggressive sales and pricing strategies continued in the investigation period.
Som følge heraf faldt omfanget af EU-erhvervsgrenens salg langt mere end forbruget, og EU-erhvervsgrenen mistede en markedsandel på 2,5 procentpoint i den betragtede periode, mens de indiske producenter forøgede deres markedsandel med 3,5 procentpoint i samme periode.
As a result, the volume of sales of the Union industry fell much more than the consumption and the Union industry lost market share by 2,5 percentage points in the period considered, while the Indian producers increased their market share by 3,5 percentage points in the same period.
Beskæftigelsen og produktiviteten udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
Employment and productivity developed over the period considered as follows:
Antal ansatte Indeks
Number of employees Index
Dumpingmargenens størrelse og genrejsning efter tidligere dumping
The employment and productivity were at similar level in the investigation period as they had been in 2011.
Dumpingmargenerne lå alle væsentligt over bagatelgrænsen.
However, the fact that employment did not go down is mainly attributable to a significant increase in the sales outside of the Union as mentioned in recital (77).
Virkningen af de faktiske dumpingmargeners størrelse på EU-erhvervsgrenen var betydelig i betragtning af mængden af og priserne på importen fra det pågældende land.
Magnitude of the dumping margin and recovery from past dumping
Dette er den første antidumpingundersøgelse vedrørende den pågældende vare.
All dumping margins were significantly above the de minimis level.
Der fandtes derfor ikke oplysninger, der kunne bruges til at vurdere virkningen af eventuel tidligere dumping.
The impact of the magnitude of the actual margins of dumping on the Union industry was substantial, given the volume and prices of imports from the country concerned.
Mikroøkonomiske indikatorer
This is the first anti-dumping investigation regarding the product concerned.
Priser og faktorer, som påvirker priserne
Therefore, no data were available to assess the effects of possible past dumping.
De gennemsnitlige enhedssalgspriser hos de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter ved salg til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder i Unionen udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
Microeconomic indicators
Salgspriser i Unionen
Prices and factors affecting prices
Gennemsnitlig enhedssalgspris i Unionen (EUR/ton)
The average unit sales prices of the cooperating Union producers to unrelated customers in the Union developed over the period considered as follows:
950-1000
Sales prices in the Union
1000-1050
Average unit sales price in the Union (EUR/tonne)
Enhedsproduktionsomkostninger (EUR/ton)
950 – 1000
900-950
1000 – 1050
850-900
Unit cost of production (EUR/tonne)
Den gennemsnitlige enhedssalgspris udviklede sig stort set i overensstemmelse med produktionsomkostningerne.
900 – 950
Den steg i 2012, hvor der var en stigning i produktionsomkostningerne, og fra 2013 til undersøgelsesperioden blev den ved at falde i takt med nedgangen i produktionsomkostningerne.
850 – 900
Produktionsomkostningerne faldt primært på grund af nedgangen i priserne på de vigtigste råvarer — jernmalm og metalskrot.
The average unit selling price evolved broadly in line with the cost of production.
Arbejdskraftomkostninger
It went up in 2012 when there was an increase in the cost of production and from 2013 to the investigation period it had kept falling in line with the reduction in the cost of production.
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
The cost of production went down, mainly due to the reduction in the price of the main raw material — iron ore and scrap metal.
I den betragtede periode steg de gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat med 4 %.
The average labour costs of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Ifølge Eurostat var denne stigning mindre end den samlede stigning for lønninger i Unionen.
Average labour costs per employee
Lagerbeholdninger
During the period considered, the average labour cost per employee went up by 4 %.
Lagerbeholdningerne hos de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
This increase was below the overall increase in wages and salaries in the Union as reported by Eurostat.
Slutlagre Indeks
Inventories
I den betragtede periode faldt slutlagrenes omfang.
Stock levels of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Faldet i lagerbeholdningerne skyldes hovedsagelig de strengere krav for driftskapital, som lederne i EU-erhvervsgrenen indførte.
Closing stocks Index
Rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast og evne til at rejse kapital
During the period considered the level of closing stocks went down.
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer og investeringsafkast udviklede sig således i den betragtede periode:
The reduction in the level of stocks is mainly caused by a more stringent working capital requirements imposed by the Union industry's management.
Rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer og investeringsafkast
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital
Rentabilitet ved salg i Unionen til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder (% af omsætningen)
Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Mellem 2,5 og 3,0
Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments
Mellem – 5,5 og – 6,0
Profitability of the sales in the Union to unrelated customers (% of sales turnover)

Cash Flow Index
Kommissionen fastsatte de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenternes rentabilitet som nettooverskuddet før skat ved salg af samme vare til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder i Unionen udtrykt i procent af omsætningen af et sådant salg.
Investments Index
Likviditeten var på samme niveau i 2011 som i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Commission established the profitability of the cooperating 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.
Investeringsafkastet er fortjenesten i procent af den bogførte nettoværdi af investeringerne.
The profitability of the Union industry went down from 2,5-3,0 % in 2011 to 1,5-2,0 % in the investigation period and it was negative in 2012 and 2013.
Konklusion vedrørende skade
The net cash flow is the ability of the cooperating Union producers to self-finance their activities.
EU-erhvervsgrenen mistede en markedsandel på 2,5 procentpoint på det vigende marked, mens dens salg på EU-markedet faldt med næsten 6,4 %.
The cash flow was at a similar level in 2011 and the investigation period.
Kapacitetsudnyttelsen forblev lav på [53-58 %] igennem hele den betragtede periode, hvilket påvirkede EU-erhvervsgrenens evne til at absorbere de faste omkostninger.
The level of investment was larger in the investigation than it had been in 2011.
Selv om EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet rettede sig op, efter at have ramt bunden i 2012, var den stadig meget lav i undersøgelsesperioden på [1,5-2,0 %], hvilket er langt under målfortjenesten.
However in the years 2012 and 2013 the level of investment was much lower and the increase in the investigation period did not offset the decrease in the preceding years.
I samme periode steg importen fra Indien med 22,6 %, og de indiske producenters markedsandel voksede med 3,5 procentpoint.
The return on investments is the profit in percentage of the net book value of investments.
Den eneste indikator, der viste en tydelig positiv tendens igennem den betragtede periode, var investeringerne, som steg med 20 %.
The return on investments was significantly lower in the investigation period than it was in 2011.
I årene 2012 og 2013 var investeringsniveauet dog meget lavt, og stigningen i undersøgelsesperioden opvejede ikke engang faldet fra de foregående år.
Conclusion on injury
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen foreløbigt, at EU-erhvervsgrenen blev påført væsentlig skade, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
The capacity utilisation remained low at 53-58 % throughout the whole period considered, affecting the Union industry's ability to absorb fixed costs.
ÅRSAGSSAMMENHÆNG
Although, the Union industry's profitability had bottomed out since reaching its lowest point in 2012, it was still very low in the investigation period at 1,5-2,0 %, well below the target profit.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 6, undersøgte Kommissionen, om dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land forvoldte EU-erhvervsgrenen væsentlig skade.
At the same period, the Indian imports increased by 22,6 % and their market share grew by 3,5 percentage points.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 7, undersøgte Kommissionen tillige, om andre kendte faktorer samtidig kunne have forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen skade.
Other indicators remained relatively stable.
Kommissionen sikrede sig, at eventuel skade forvoldt af andre faktorer end dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land ikke blev tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
However, their deterioration was to a large extent prevented by a substantial increase in the Union industry's sales outside the Union.
Disse faktorer er: den økonomiske krise og et fald i efterspørgslen, import fra tredjelande, EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater og konkurrencen fra substitutionsvarer såsom rør af plast.
The only indicator which showed a clearly positive trend during the period considered was investments, which went up by 20 %.
Virkningen af dumpingimporten
However in the years 2012 and 2013 the level of investment was much lower and the increase in the investigation period did not even offset the decrease in the preceding years.
De indiske eksporterende producenters salgsmængde i EU var allerede i starten af den betragtede periode næsten dobbelt så stor [75000-85000] som al anden import tilsammen (45800).
A very low profitability, coupled with a continued loss of sales and the market share in the Union, puts the Union industry in a difficult economic situation.
Det indiske salg faldt i takt med forbruget i 2012, men fastholdt en markedsandel på ca. [10-15 %].
On the basis of the above, the Commission provisionally concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Men i år 2013, hvor forbruget stadig var lavt, og EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet negativ, formåede de indiske producenter at øge både deres salg og markedsandel betydeligt.
CAUSATION
Den succesrige stigning i det indiske salg på et vigende marked var mulig ved hjælp af aggressive dumpingpriser — de indiske importpriser faldt med 6,2 % i 2013.
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.
Den aggressive prisfastsættelse fortsatte i undersøgelsesperioden.
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Salgsmængden fra de indiske eksporterende producenter nåede op på over 100000, og deres markedsandel nåede op på 15-20 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the dumped imports from the country concerned was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Så hurtig en ekspansion var mulig ved at underbyde EU-producenternes pris betydeligt.
These factors are: the economic crisis and decrease of demand, imports from third countries, export performance of the Union industry and the competition from substitute products such as plastic pipes.
Underbudsniveauet blev fastsat til 34 % og 42,4 %.
Effects of the dumped imports
Mens de indiske producenters salg og markedsandel steg væsentligt, faldt EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde med meget mere end forbruget, og EU-erhvervsgrenens salg faldt med 6,4 %, og dens markedsandel faldt med 2,5 procentpoint.
The Indian exporting producers' volume of sales in the Union were almost twice as large 75000 – 85000 as all other imports combined (45,8kt) already at the beginning of the period considered.
På grund af det tydeligt konstaterede tidsmæssige sammenfald mellem det forhold, at EU-producenternes priser blev underbudt betydeligt af den indiske dumpingimport og faldet i EU-erhvervsgrenens salg og markedsandel, hvilket resulterede i en meget lav rentabilitet, konkluderes det, at dumpingimporten var årsag til den skadevoldende situation, der opstod for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The Indian sales fell in line with the consumption in the year 2012 but maintained a market share of around 10-15 %.
Virkningen af andre faktorer
However, in the year 2013, when the consumption was still depressed and the profitability of the Union industry negative, the Indian manufacturers managed to increase significantly both their sales and market share.
Den økonomiske krise og faldet i efterspørgslen
Such a successful expansion of the Indian sales in a declining market was possible through aggressive dumped pricing — the Indian import prices went down year-on-year in 2013 by 6,2 %.
Unionens forbrug af den pågældende vare faldt med 3,3 % i den betragtede periode, mens importen fra Indien steg i samme periode med 22,6 %.
The aggressive pricing continued in the investigation period.
Det største fald i forbruget (15 % fra 2011 til 2012) var forårsaget af en økonomisk krise og nedskæringer i de offentlige udgifter.
The volume of sales from the Indian exporting producers exceeded 100000 and their market share reached 15-20 % in the investigation period.
Import fra tredjelande
Such a quick expansion was possible through substantial undercutting of the Union producers.
Importmængden fra andre tredjelande udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
The level of undercutting was established at 34 % and 42,4 %.
Importen fra andre lande i mængde (ton)
Whilst the Indian sales and market share increased significantly, the volume of sales of the Union industry fell much more than the consumption and the Union Industry lost sales by 6,4 % and its market share fell by 2,5 percentage points.
Kina
Effects of other factors
Andre tredjelande end Kina
The economic crisis and decrease in demand
Alle tredjelande
The Union consumption of the product concerned decreased by 3,3 % in the period considered, while the Indian imports increased at the same time by 22,6 %.
Importen fra Indien udgjorde størstedelen af al import til Unionen (mere end 70 %) i undersøgelsesperioden.
The main fall in consumption (15 % from 2011 to 2012) was caused by an economic crisis and shrinking public expenditure.
Mens importen fra Indien steg med mere end 22 % i den betragtede periode, faldt den øvrige import med mere end 20 % i den samme periode.
The decrease in consumption seems to have contributed to the injury at the beginning of the period considered, and may also have contributed in the year 2013.
Mens den indiske imports markedsandel steg med 2,5 procentpoint, faldt den øvrige imports markedsandel mere end et procentpoint.
However, in 2013 and, especially in the investigation period, the dumped Indian imports are the main injury factor exerting downward pressure on the Union sales of the Union Industry and preventing the return to a sustainable profitability.
I betragtning af de lave mængder af import fra tredjelande samt det faktum, at de både faldt hvad angår mængde og markedsandel, er der intet, der tyder på, at de forvoldte EU-erhvervsgrenen skade.
Imports from third countries
Eksporterende producenter hævdede, at en af EU-producenterne importerede den pågældende vare fra dens kinesiske produktionsanlæg og dermed påførte skade på sig selv.
The volume of imports from other third countries developed over the period considered as follows:
Der blev ikke fundet bevis for disse påstande.
Imports from third countries in volume (metric tonnes)
De bekræftede undersøgelsesresultater viste, at importen til Unionen fra EU-producentens forretningsmæssigt forbundne kinesiske anlæg var meget lav.
Source: Eurostat.
Derudover faldt importen fra Kina betydeligt i den betragtede periode, og markedsandelen faldt med mere end 2 procentpoint, hvilket tydeligt viser, at de ikke kan have været årsagen til skaden.
China
EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater
Third countries except China
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters eksportmængde udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
All third countries
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters eksportresultater
The imports from India constituted the majority of all imports in the Union (more than 70 %) in the investigation period.
Eksportmængde Indeks
While Indian imports increased by more than 22 % during the period considered other imports decreased by more than 20 % in the same period.
Gennemsnitlig eksportpris Indeks
While Indian imports gained market share by 2,5 percentage points, the other imports lost the market share by more than 1 percentage point.
EU-erhvervsgrenens salg uden for Unionen steg betydeligt med 30 % i den betragtede periode, mens den gennemsnitlige salgspris forblev forholdsvis stabil.
Given the low volumes of imports from third countries as well as the fact that they decreased both in volume and in market share terms, there is no indication that they caused injury to the Union industry.
Derfor er salget uden for Unionen faktisk en faktor, der afhjælper skaden.
Exporting producers claimed that one of the Union producers imported the product concerned from its Chinese production facilities, inflicting injury on itself.
Uden en stigning i salget uden for Unionen, ville EU-erhvervsgrenen være i en endnu mere skaderamt situation.
No evidence was found to support those claims.
Konkurrence fra substitutionsvarer
The verified evidence demonstrated that imports into the Union from the related Chinese facilities of the Union producer had been very low.
Interesserede parter hævdede, at skaden var forårsaget af hård konkurrence fra substitutionsvarer, navnlig rør af plast (polyethylen (PE), polyvinylchlorid (PVC) og polypropylen (PP).
In addition, the imports from China decreased significantly during the period considered and lost the market share by more than 2 percentage points, which clearly rules them out as the cause of the injury.
Kunststofrør med en lille diameter er langt billigere at indkøbe pr. enhed.
Export performance of the Union industry
Men når man medregner vedligeholdelsesudgifter og levetid, har den pågældende vare omkostningsmæssige fordele på lang sigt.
The volume of exports of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Rør af plast øver et vist konkurrencepres på den pågældende vare, især for rør med en lille diameter.
Export performance of the cooperating Union Producers
Men duktile støbejernsrør mistede ikke markedsandele til rør af plast i den betragtede periode, og i nogle tilfælde formåede duktile støbejernsrør endda at genvinde en del af markedsandelen fra kunststofrør i den betragtede periode.
Export Volume Index
Derfor var det usandsynligt, at konkurrencen fra substitutionsvarer af plast skulle være årsagen til den væsentlige skade i den betragtede periode.
Average Export Price Index
Konklusion om årsagssammenhæng
The sales of the Union industry outside of the Union increased considerably by 30 % over the period considered, while the average selling price remained relatively stable.
Der blev foreløbigt fastslået en årsagssammenhæng mellem den skade, som EU-producenterne led, og dumpingimporten fra det pågældende land.
Therefore, the sales outside of the Union are actually a factor alleviating the injury.
Der er et klart tidsmæssigt sammenfald mellem dumpingimportens underbud af EU-erhvervsgrenens priser og faldet i EU-erhvervsgrenens salg og markedsandel i Unionen.
Absent an increase of sales outside of the Union, the Union industry would be in an even more injurious situation.
Dumpingimporten fra Indien underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser med 34 % og 42,4 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
Competition from substitute products
Dette resulterer i en meget lav rentabilitet for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Interested parties claimed that the injury was caused by fierce competition from substitute products, in particular plastic pipes (polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) & polypropylene (PP)).
Især ville salget ikke være faldet så meget, kapacitetsudnyttelsen ville have været større og rentabiliteten mere bæredygtig.
However taking into account the maintenance cost and the product life, the product concerned have cost advantages in the long term.
Faldet i forbruget kan derfor foreløbigt konstateres ikke at have brudt årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den væsentlige skade.
Plastic pipes exert some competitive pressure on the product concerned, especially for smaller diameters.
Det blev foreløbigt konstateret, at de øvrige identificerede faktorer, såsom importen fra andre tredjelande, EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater og konkurrence fra substitutionsvarer ikke brød den ovenfor fastslåede årsagssammenhæng, heller ikke når man tager deres kombinerede virkning med i betragtning.
However, ductile pipes did not lose market shares to plastic pipes during the period considered, and in some instances, ductile pipes even managed to regain some market share from plastic pipes during the period considered.
