Dette blev også bekræftet af visse importører, der indrømmede, at de havde trukket toldbehandlingen, da det gik op for dem, at antidumpingtolden ville blive annulleret.
During the period considered, the Union consumption for citrus fruits remained on average slightly below 70000 tonnes.
Derfor måtte påstanden om, at importørerne ikke foretog lageropbygning, afvises.
There was however a peak in imports in 2011/2012, followed by a drop during the review investigation period.
Import til Unionen fra Kina
This development 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 temporarily not in force (see recital 2).
I betragtning af, at der kun var én gruppe af kinesiske eksportører, som samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, og at denne gruppe tegnede sig for omkring 12 %-20 % (angivet som et interval af fortrolighedshensyn) af den samlede import fra Kina i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode, blev det konkluderet, at Eurostats data (Taric- (Fællesskabets integrerede toldtarif) kodeniveau om nødvendigt) var de mest nøjagtige og den bedste informationskilde med hensyn til importmængder og -priser.
The peak of imports in 2011/2012 was compensated by a lower import level during the review investigation period, thus a lower Union consumption.
Den samarbejdsvillige kinesiske eksportørs individuelle priser blev ikke desto mindre også undersøgt.
Some of the importers claimed that they had not been practising stockpiling.
Tabel 2
In this context, it should be recalled that stockpiling can be defined as accumulating and storing a reserve supply.
Import fra Kina
The data at the disposal of the Commission shows that since the annulment of the measures, on 22 March 2012, there had been a massive import volume of the product concerned until July 2012:
Importmængde (ton)
on average of almost 9000 tonnes per month.
Markedsandel
Thereafter and until the end of the RIP, the average level of imports went down to only around 1650 tonnes per month, which was about 2000 tonnes less per month as compared to the average level of imports in the period preceding the annulment of the measures.
Efter indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne i 2008 fulgte mængden af import fra Kina generelt en nedadgående tendens.
The Commission concluded that in order to reach such a significant level of monthly imports during a relatively short period of time, importers had been accumulating high volumes of the product concerned.
Der mindes om, at importen i den oprindelige undersøgelsesperiode (2006/07) udgjorde 56108 ton.
This was in fact also confirmed by some importers, who admitted that they had been delaying customs clearance when they become convinced that the anti-dumping duties would be annulled.
I den forbindelse bør det bemærkes, at foranstaltningerne blev annulleret i marts 2012 og genindført i februar 2013, men registrering blev indført den 29. juni 2012 [10], hvilket havde en afdæmpende virkning på importen.
Therefore, the claim that the importers were not practising stockpiling had to be rejected.
I lighed med importmængden fulgte Kinas markedsandel en nedadgående tendens i den betragtede periode og faldt fra 71 % til 43 %.
Imports into the Union from China
Selv i betragtning af virkningen af det usædvanlige importniveau fra Kina i 2011/12 og i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode faldt markedsandelen fra omkring 70 % i 2009/10 til et gennemsnit på 55 % i de følgende år.
Bearing in mind that only one group of Chinese exporters cooperated with the investigation and that this group represented around 12 %-20 % (range given for reasons of confidentiality) of the total imports from China during the review investigation period, it was concluded that the Eurostat data (at TARIC (integrated community tariff) code level where necessary) was the most accurate and the best information source for import volumes and prices.
Pris og prisunderbud
Individual prices of the cooperating Chinese exporter were nevertheless also examined.
Tabel 3
Volume and market share
Gennemsnitlig importpris (EUR pr. ton)
The Chinese import volume and the corresponding market shares developed as follows during the period considered:
Som det fremgår af tabellen ovenfor, voksede priserne på importen fra Kina i den betragtede periode med 37 %.
Table 2
Det bør dog bemærkes, at priserne steg betydeligt frem til perioden 2011/12 og derefter faldt i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
Imports from China
Da den eneste samarbejdsvillige eksportørs importmængde kun tegnede sig for omkring 12 %-20 % (angivet som et interval af fortrolighedshensyn) af importen fra Kina i den fornyede undersøgelsesperiode, blev forekomsten af prisunderbud undersøgt også for den samlede eksport fra Kina ud fra importstatistikker.
Volume of imports (tonnes)
Disse cif-priser blev justeret for at dække omkostninger i forbindelse med fortoldning, nemlig toldtarif og omkostninger, der påløb efter importen.
Following the imposition of the anti-dumping measures in 2008, the volume of Chinese imports generally followed a downward trend.
På dette grundlag viste sammenligningen, at importen af den pågældende vare i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser med 4,8 %, når beregningerne tager hensyn til virkningen af den gældende antidumpingtold.
It is recalled that imports during the original investigation period (2006/2007) amounted to 56108 tonnes.
Underbudsmargenen når imidlertid op på 28 %, hvis importpriserne betragtes uden antidumpingtold.
As explained above, there was however a peak of imports in 2011/2012.
Hvis man betragter de importpriser, som den samarbejdsvillige kinesiske eksportør har indberettet, behørigt justeret, kan man konstatere en underbudsmargen på 14 % i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode, selv når der tages højde for gældende antidumpingtold.
This peak was clearly the result of the annulment of the anti-dumping measures in March 2012.
Hvis man ser bort fra virkningen af antidumpingtolden, nåede underbudsmargenen et niveau på 20 %.
Indeed, when looking at the monthly development of Chinese imports, based on Eurostat data, while the monthly Chinese imports generally fluctuated between 2000 and 6000 tonnes, they reached levels between 6000 and 12000 tonnes in the period March 2012-July 2012 (on average almost 9000 tonnes per month).
Det bør bemærkes, at størstedelen af denne eksport i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode fandt sted, mens foranstaltningerne var annulleret.
In this respect, it should be noted that measures were annulled in March 2012 and re-imposed in February 2013, but registration was introduced on 29 June 2012 [10], which had a chilling effect on imports.
Import til Unionen fra andre tredjelande
Similarly to the import volume, the Chinese market share followed a downward trend during the period considered, decreasing from 71 % to 43 %.
I den betragtede periode tegnede importen fra andre tredjelande sig aldrig for en markedsandel på over 11,2 %.
Even considering the impact of the unusual level of Chinese imports in 2011/2012 and the review investigation period, the market shares decreased from around 70 % in 2009/2010 to an average of 55 % in the following years.
Størstedelen af denne import (mindst 89 % i den betragtede periode) var fra Tyrkiet.
Price and price undercutting
Importmængde fra andre tredjelande (ton)
Average import price (EUR/tonne)
EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation
As reflected in the above table, over the period considered the prices of Chinese imports increased by 37 %.
Undersøgelsen af virkningerne af dumpingimporten på EU-erhvervsgrenen omfattede en vurdering af alle relevante økonomiske faktorer og forhold, der havde indflydelse på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation i den betragtede periode, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5.
It should however be noted that prices significantly increased until the period 2011/2012 and then decreased during the review investigation period.
Selv om alle fem EU-producenter indsendte en spørgeskemabesvarelse, blev én af producenternes spørgeskemabesvarelse ikke anset for at kunne anvendes fuldt ud, da dennes besvarelse ikke blev efterprøvet ved et kontrolbesøg.
Since the import volume of the only cooperating exporter represented only around 12 %-20 % (range given for reasons of confidentiality) of the Chinese imports during the review investigation period, the existence of price undercutting has been examined also for the overall Chinese exports, based on import statistics.
Analysen tog derfor udgangspunkt i følgende metode.
For this purpose, the weighted average sales prices of the cooperating Union producers to unrelated customers on the Union market were compared to the corresponding weighted average CIF (cost, insurance and freight) prices of imports from China as reported by Eurostat.
De makroøkonomiske indikatorer (produktion, produktionskapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, salgsmængde, markedsandel, beskæftigelse, produktivitet, vækst, dumpingmargenernes størrelse og genrejsning efter virkningerne af tidligere dumping) blev vurderet på niveauet for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
These CIF (cost, insurance and freight) prices were adjusted to cover costs related to customs clearance, namely customs tariff and post-importation costs.
Vurderingen blev baseret på oplysninger fra de fire fuldt samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter.
On that basis, the comparison showed that during the review investigation period the imports of the product concerned undercut the Union industry's prices by 4,8 %, when calculations take into account the impact of the anti-dumping duties in force.
I tilfældet med den producent, hvis spørgeskemabesvarelse ikke blev efterprøvet, blev vurderingen baseret på data fra denne producent, som så vidt muligt blev krydstjekket med data i klagen og producentens reviderede regnskaber.
The undercutting margin however reaches 28 % when import prices are considered without anti-dumping duties.
Analysen af mikroøkonomiske indikatorer (lagre, salgspriser, rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast, evne til at rejse kapital, lønninger) blev foretaget på niveauet for de fuldt ud samarbejdsvillige fire EU-producenter.
When considering the import prices reported by the Chinese cooperating exporter, duly adjusted, an undercutting margin of 14 % could be established during the review investigation period, when taking into account anti-dumping duties in force.
Vurderingen blev baseret på deres oplysninger, som blev behørigt efterprøvet under et kontrolbesøg.
When discounting the effect of the anti-dumping duties, the undercutting margin reached a level of 20 %.
Makroøkonomiske indikatorer
It should be noted that the majority of these exports during the review investigation period took place when the measures were annulled.
Produktion, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse
Imports into the Union from other third countries
Tabel 5
Over the period considered the volume of imports from other third countries never held a market share of more than 11,2 %.
Produktion (ton)
Most of these imports (it was at least 89 % during period considered) were from Turkey.
Produktionskapacitet (ton)
Table 4
Kapacitetsudnyttelse
Volume of imports from other third countries (tonnes)
Produktionen voksede markant i den betragtede periode fra omkring 12000 ton til næsten 29000 ton i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
Economic situation of the Union industry
I sæson 2009/2010 var produktionen lille, eftersom EU-erhvervsgrenen stadig var påvirket af dumpingimporten af kinesiske mandariner på dåse, der blev importeret i den foregående sæson, samt af det forhold, at den havde en lagerbeholdning fra den foregående sæson, hvor antidumpingforanstaltningerne ikke havde været gældende.
Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the examination of the impact of the dumped imports on the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered.
Produktionen voksede i sæson 2010/11, da den nye import fra Kina blev omfattet af de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger.
Even though all the five Union producers provided a questionnaire reply it was considered that the questionnaire reply submitted by one of the producers could not be completely used as its reply was not verified during an on-spot verification.
Eftersom produktionskapaciteten i Unionen ikke ændrede sig i perioden, voksede kapacitetsudnyttelsen tilsvarende.
The analysis was therefore based on the following methodology.
Den lå dog konsekvent under 50 %.
The macroeconomic indicators (production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, employment, productivity, growth, magnitude of dumping margins and recovery from the effects of past dumping) were assessed at the level of the whole Union industry.
En europæisk sammenslutning af erhvervsdrivende hævdede, at en EU-producent havde indstillet produktionen siden 2012/13, og at denne producent og to andre var i en vanskelig finansiel situation.
The assessment was based on the information provided by the four fully cooperating Union producers.
Af disse grunde hævdedes det, at tallene for produktion og produktionskapacitet/-udnyttelse var kunstigt oppustede.
In case of the producer whose questionnaire reply was not verified assessment was based on the data provided by this producer which was, to the extent possible, cross-checked with data included in the complaint and its audited financial statements.
I så henseende bør det for det første bemærkes, at de oplysninger, der blev indsamlet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, viste, at alle EU-producenter i EU-erhvervsgrenen har produceret på alle årstider i den betragtede periode.
The analysis of microeconomic indicators (stocks, sale prices, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments, ability to raise capital, wages) was carried out at the level of the fully cooperating four Union producers.
Den første påstand om, at en producent indstillede produktionen i NUP, bør derfor afvises.
The assessment was based on their information which was duly verified during an on-spot verification visit.
For så vidt angår EU-producenternes påståede vanskelige finansielle situation, var en af EU-producenterne faktisk udsat for en insolvensbehandling i den betragtede periode.
Macroeconomic indicators
Undersøgelsen viste dog, at denne producents produktion voksede betydeligt i hele den betragtede periode, hvorimod kapaciteten forblev uændret.
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Derfor konkluderedes det, at insolvensbehandlingen ikke havde nogen negativ indvirkning på denne producents produktion.
Table 5
For så vidt angår de to øvrige EU-producenter, blev de udsat for insolvensbehandling, men først efter den betragtede periode.
Production (tonnes)
Dette bekræfter den konklusion, jf. betragtning 96-98, at der faktisk forekom fornyet skade, og at EU-erhvervsgrenen fortsat har været i en vanskelig finansiel situation.
Production capacity (tonnes)
Salgsmængde og markedsandel i Unionen
Capacity utilisation
Tabel 6
The production significantly increased during the period considered from around 12000 tonnes to almost 29000 tonnes during the review investigation period.
Salgsmængde (ton)
In 2009/2010 season the production was small since the Union industry was still affected by the dumped import of Chinese canned mandarins, which were imported in the previous season, as well as by the fact that it maintained a stock from the previous season when the anti-dumping measures had not been in force.
Markedsandel (af EU-forbruget)
The production increased in 2010/2011 season once the new Chinese imports were captured by the anti-dumping measure being in force.
EU-erhvervsgrenens salg på EU-markedet til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder voksede med 35 % i den betragtede periode.
Since the Union production capacity did not change during the period, the capacity utilisation increased accordingly.
EU-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel fulgte også en stigende tendens i den betragtede periode.
It however systematically remained below 50 %.
Selv i betragtning af lageropbygningseffekten på EU-forbrugets niveau i 2011/12 og i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode voksede markedsandelen fra omkring 23 % i begyndelsen af perioden til et gennemsnit på 35 % i de seneste to undersøgte år.
One European association of traders claimed that one Union producer stopped production since 2012/2013 and that this producer and two others were in a difficult financial situation.
Beskæftigelse og produktivitet
For these reasons, it is claimed that the production and production capacity/utilisation figures were artificially inflated.
Tabel 7
In this respect, it should first be recalled that the information collected in the course of the investigation indicated that all Union producers forming part of the Union industry have been producing in all seasons during the period considered.
Beskæftigelse
The first claim that one producer stopped production during the RIP should therefore be rejected.
Produktivitet (ton pr. ansat)
Concerning the alleged difficult financial situation of Union producers, one of the Union producers was indeed subject to an insolvency proceeding during the period considered.
Både beskæftigelsen og produktiviteten øgedes i den betragtede periode og afspejler den samlede vækst i produktion og salgsmængde.
However, the investigation showed that the production level of that producer increased significantly throughout the period considered, while its capacity remained unchanged.
Produktivitetsforøgelsen i sæson 2010/11 hang sammen med de højere produktionsmængder, der skyldtes, at antidumpingforanstaltningerne fik fuld virkning i den periode.
Therefore, it was concluded that the insolvency proceeding did not negatively affect that producer's output.
Ovenstående beskæftigelsestal er i fuldtidsækvivalenter, og derfor fremgår antallet af sæsonarbejdspladser ikke i absolutte tal.
As far as the two other Union producers are concerned, they entered into insolvency proceedings but only after the period considered.
For at få et bedre billede af omfanget af arbejdspladser bør det bemærkes, at tallet for den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode er på omkring 2400 sæsonarbejdspladser udtrykt i fuldtidsækvivalenter.
This in fact confirms the conclusion (see recitals from 96 to 98) that the injury actually resumed and that the Union industry has been still in a fragile financial situation.
Vækst
Sales volume and market share in the Union
Efter at der blev genindført told, var EU-erhvervsgrenen i stand til at genvinde sine tabte markedsandele, dog på bekostning af en forværring af den finansielle situation.
Table 6
Dumpingens omfang og genrejsning efter tidligere dumping
Sales volume (tonnes)
Dumpingen fortsatte i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode på et betydeligt niveau, jf. punkt 3.2.5 (se betragtning 34 og 35) ovenfor.
Market share (of Union consumption)
For så vidt angår indvirkningen på EU-erhvervsgrenen af omfanget af den faktiske dumpingmargen, kan denne indvirkning ikke anses for ubetydelig i betragtning af mængden af dumpingimport fra Kina.
The sales by the Union industry on the Union market to unrelated customers increased by 35 % during the period considered.
Det bemærkes, at EU-erhvervsgrenen stadig er under genrejsning efter tidligere dumping, navnlig for så vidt angår kapacitetsudnyttelse og rentabilitet (i forhold til i den oprindelige undersøgelse).
The Union industry market share also followed an increasing trend during the period considered.
Mikroøkonomiske indikatorer
Even considering the stock piling effect on the level of the union consumption in 2011/2012 and during the review investigation period, the market share increased from around 23 % at the beginning of the period to an average of 35 % in the last 2 years examined.
Lagerbeholdninger
Employment and productivity

Table 7
Lagerbeholdninger (ton)
Employment
EU-producenterne øgede deres lagerbeholdninger betydeligt i de to sidste sæsoner.
Productivity (tonnes per employee)
Salgspriser i Unionen
The increase of productivity in 2010/2011 season was linked to the higher production volumes which resulted from the fact that the anti-dumping measures took full effect in that period.
Tabel 9
The above employment figures are full-time equivalent and therefore they do not show the absolute number of seasonal jobs involved.
Gennemsnitlige enhedssalgspriser (EUR pr. ton)
In order to have a better idea of the magnitude of jobs involved, it should be noted that the figure for the review investigation period is a full-time equivalent expression of around 2400 seasonal jobs.
I den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode lykkedes det EU-erhvervsgrenen at hæve sin EU-salgspris med 11 %.
Growth
Stigningen var særlig markant frem til 2011/12, men priserne faldt efterfølgende i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
The Union industry managed to benefit from growth on the Union market until 2011.
Dette tilskrives det høje importniveau fra Kina, der forekom mellem marts og juli 2012, da foranstaltningerne ikke var gældende, og at EU-erhvervsgrenens priser blev underbudt af priserne på den pågældende vare fra Kina.
However, as soon as the measures against China were lifted (see recital 2) and the Chinese imports flooded the Union market, the Union industry lost a considerable part of its market share.
Rentabilitet og likviditet
After the duties were re-imposed, the Union industry was able to regain its lost market share, albeit at a cost of deteriorating financial situation.
Tabel 10
Magnitude of dumping and recovery from past dumping
Rentabilitet
Dumping continued during the review investigation period at a significant level, as explained under point 3.2.5 (see recitals 34 and 35) above.
Forbedringen af rentabiliteten hang nøje sammen med det forhold, at det lykkedes EU-erhvervsgrenen at øge sin salgs- og produktionsmængde samt sin salgspris i årene efter indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltningerne.
As to the impact on the Union industry of the magnitude of the actual dumping margin, given the volume of the dumped imports from China, this impact cannot be considered negligible.
En tilbagevenden til en tabsgivende situation i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode skyldes lavere salgspriser som følge af den pludselige tilstrømning af import fra Kina, efter at tolden blev annulleret af EU-Domstolen.
It is noted that the Union industry is still on the recovery path from past dumping in particular in terms of capacity utilisation and profitability (as compared to the original investigation).
I den forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at der blev importeret en betydelig mængde kinesiske varer uden antidumpingtold i perioden marts-juli 2012.
Microeconomic indicators
Desuden konstateredes importen fra Kina at underbyde EU-erhvervsgrenens priser betydeligt i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode, især hvis man ser bort fra virkningen af antidumpingtolden.
Stocks
Dette forårsagede et generelt pristryk, som igen førte til en tabsgivende situation for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Table 8
Tabel 11
Stocks (tonnes)
Likviditet (EUR)
The Union producers increased their stock significantly in the last two seasons.
I den betragtede periode svarede udviklingen i likviditeten i det store og hele til udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens samlede rentabilitet sammenholdt med virkningen af væksten i lagerbeholdninger, navnlig i de sidste to analyserede år.
This reflects the fact that production increased more than sales in the period considered.

I den betragtede periode foretog en del af EU-erhvervsgrenen investeringer til vedligeholdelse og optimering af det eksisterende produktionsanlæg.
The increase was especially marked until 2011/2012, but prices subsequently decreased during the review investigation period.
