En justering for forskelle i handelsled kan dog kun foretages, hvis det påvises, at der er konsistente og tydelige prisforskelle mellem handelsleddene, som ikke eksisterer på grund af omkostningsforskelle.
At this stage, the Commission was not in a position to identify the affected transactions individually.
Den faktiske sammenligning af priser for EU-erhvervsgrenens salg til begge handelsled på EU-markedet viste — som anført i betragtning 112 i forordningen om midlertidig told — at forskellen på de forskellige handelsled ikke havde nogen indflydelse på priserne.
The Commission made however an overall adjustment, based on the information provided by the Union industry in reaction to this claim.
Ingen af de interesserede parter fremførte oplysninger, der afkræftede dette.
Following final disclosure, the same interested party argued that the adjustment should not be made overall, but only to the transactions where the like product was actually covered by protective film.
Betingelserne for en justering for handelsled er derfor ikke opfyldt i denne sag.
The party further disagrees with the assessment that their claim was made late, since this information was publically available before the initiation of this investigation.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger fremførte samme part, at en sammenligning af salgspriserne for EU-erhvervsgrenens servicecentre med priserne for de eksporterende producenter angiveligt ikke sammenligner sammenlignelige produkter.
As already explained, the Commission applied an overall adjustment as it was not possible to identify the affected transactions individually.
I den forbindelse fremførte parten, at EU-erhvervsgrenens servicecentres salg i vid udstrækning udgjordes af videreforarbejdede varer såsom bånd, smalle bredbånd og skiver, mens eksportørerne hovedsageligt solgte almindelige bredbånd.
It is known that the affected transactions are in a not insignificant proportion of all transactions.
I denne forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at almindelige bredbånd ikke blev sammenlignet med smalle produkter såsom bånd eller smalle bredbånd.
A party cannot merely rely on information being publically available, but has to put forward a substantiated claim to justify an adjustment.
Bredden af produktet er ét af de elementer, der er indeholdt i varekontrolnumrene for at sikre, at kun produkter med samme bredde ville blive sammenlignet.
The effect of recalculating these lower importation costs was largely offset by the adjustment referring to the protective film.
For så vidt angår skiver var de slet ikke omfattet af sammenligningen, da de ikke blev eksporteret af de stikprøveudvalgte eksporterende producenter til Unionen.
The combined effect of those two adjustments showed an almost unchanged weighted average undercutting margin for the imports from the countries concerned on the Union market of between 9,8 % and 11,4 % (compared to between 9,6 % and 11,3 % in the provisional Regulation).
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger vedrørende prisen på de importerede varer fra de pågældende lande samt prisunderbud, bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 107-112 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
The weighted average underselling margin for the imports from the countries concerned on the Union market also remained almost unchanged at between 23,1 % and 25,3 % (compared to between 22,9 % and 25,2 % in the provisional Regulation).
EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation
One interested party noted that the investigation showed that exporting producers almost exclusively sell to independent distributors or steel service centres, while the Union industry sold to distributors, integrated service centres and end users.
Generelle bemærkninger
This interested party claims that in order to compare those prices, the Commission must consider the fixed costs of the service centres as there is a difference in the level of trade.
Interesserede parter gentog deres påstand om, at datasættet for EU-producenterne i stikprøven burde anvendes konsistent til skadesvurderingen i stedet for at opdele indikatorerne i makroøkonomiske og mikroøkonomiske indikatorer.
However, an adjustment for differences in the level of trade can only be made if it is demonstrated that there are consistent and distinct differences in price between those levels of trade, and not on the basis of cost differences.
En sådan fremgangsmåde ville dog udelukke oplysninger, der er til rådighed for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen, navnlig vedrørende produktion, produktionskapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, salgsmængde, markedsandel, vækst, beskæftigelse, produktivitet og dumpingmargenens størrelse.
The actual comparison of prices on which the Union industry sold to both levels of trade on the Union market showed that, as indicated in recital 112 of the provisional Regulation, the difference in level of trade had no impact on prices.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger gentog én interesseret part argumentet om, at dét, at den største EU-producent, Outokumpu, ikke er med i stikprøven, fordrejer skadesanalysen.
No information rebutting this finding was provided by any interested party.
Men som det allerede er anført i betragtning 93 i forordningen om midlertidig told, betragtes stikprøven som repræsentativ, fordi de EU-producenter, der er udtaget til stikprøven, tegner sig for omkring 50 % af den samlede EU-produktion af den samme vare.
The conditions for a level of trade adjustment are therefore not met in this case.
Dét, at Outokumpu ikke samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, påvirker derfor ikke, hvor repræsentativ stikprøven er, eller kvaliteten af de efterprøvede oplysninger fra producenterne i stikprøven.
Following final disclosure, the same party argued that a comparison of the sales prices of the Union industry's service centres with the prices of the exporting producers does allegedly not compare comparable products.
Interesserede parter fremførte, at når skadesindikatorerne er opdelt i makroøkonomiske og mikroøkonomiske indikatorer, kan man ikke deraf udlede en meningsfuld konklusion af, i hvilket omfang producenterne i stikprøven havde lidt skade (hvis de overhovedet havde gjort det).
In this respect, the party alleged that the sales of the Union industry's service centres are to a large extent further processed goods such as strips, narrow coils and discs, while the exporters are mainly selling standard coils.
Dette argument er irrelevant.
In this respect it is noted that standard coils were not compared with narrow products such as strips or narrow coils.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3 foregår bestemmelsen af skade for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The width of the product was one element in the PCN, ensuring that only products with a similar width were compared.
Stikprøveudtagning er en teknik i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 17, der giver Kommissionen mulighed for at begrænse antallet af undersøgte parter (i dette tilfælde EU-producenter), når dette antal er stort.
As regards discs, they were not included in the comparison at all since they were not exported by the sampled exporting producers to the Union.
Stikprøveudtagningen begrænser dog ikke skadesvurderingen til kun at omfatte de EU-producenter, der er en del af stikprøven.
In the absence of other comments regarding the prices of the imports from the countries concerned and price undercutting, other conclusions reached in recitals 107 to 112 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Visse skadesindikatorer, som bl.a. markedsandele og salgsmængder, kan kun analyseres meningsfuldt for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Economic situation of the Union industry
Derudover betragtes resultater med hensyn til stikprøven som repræsentative for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
General Remarks
Alle tilgængelige oplysninger om EU-erhvervsgrenen som en helhed bør derfor tages med i betragtning.
Interested parties reiterated their claims that the data of the sampled Union producers should be consistently used for the injury assessment instead of dividing the indicators into macroeconomic indicators and microeconomic indicators.
Da der ikke blev fremsat yderligere kommentarer til de generelle bemærkninger vedrørende EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation, bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 107-112 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
However, such an approach would disregard available information at Union industry's level concerning namely production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity and magnitude of the dumping margin.
Makroøkonomiske indikatorer
Following final disclosure, one interested party reiterated their argument that the fact that the largest Union producer Outokumpu is not part of the sample distorts the injury analysis.
Vedrørende beskæftigelse fremførte interesserede parter, at faldet i beskæftigelse skyldtes EU-erhvervsgrenens stigende produktivitet.
However, as already indicated in recital 93 of the provisional Regulation, the sample was considered representative, as the sample represented around 50 % of the total Union production of the like product.
Den produktivitetsstigning på 6 %, der skete i løbet af hele den betragtede periode, var dog langt mindre end faldet i beskæftigelsen på 11 %.
Therefore, the fact that Outokumpu did not cooperate in the investigation does not affect the representativeness of the selected sample and the quality of the verified data of the sampled producers.
Dette fald hænger også sammen med EU-erhvervsgrenens produktionsmængde, som faldt med 5 % — på et marked i vækst.
Interested parties argued that when the injury indicators are divided into macroeconomic and microeconomic indicators, one cannot draw any meaningful conclusion as to what extent the sampled producers had suffered injury (if any).
Som beskrevet ovenfor blev EU-erhvervsgrenen nødt til at reducere sin produktion — på et marked i vækst — på grund af dumpingimporten fra de berørte lande.
This argument is beside the point.
Hvis EU-erhvervsgrenen havde været i stand til at udnytte væksten på markedet til at øge sin produktion i overensstemmelse med den stigende efterspørgsel, ville den øgede produktion have udlignet den stigende produktivitet.
In accordance with Article 3 of the basic Regulation the determination of injury is made at the Union industry's level.
I så fald ville faldet i beskæftigelsen have været væsentligt mindre.
Sampling is a technique provided for in Article 17 of the basic Regulation that allows the Commission to limit the number of investigated parties (in this case the Union producers) when that number is large.
Det anslås derfor, at faldet i beskæftigelsen hovedsageligt er et resultat af dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande, og at EU-erhvervsgrenens øgede effektivitet kun spillede en mindre rolle heri.
However, the sampling does not limit the determination of the injury to the sample of Union producers.
Disse tal er derfor ikke sammenlignelige og påviser ikke en stigende udvikling i beskæftigelsen.
Certain injury indicators, such as, inter alia, market share and sales volume, are only meaningfully analysed at Union industry's level only.
Da der ikke blev fremsat andre bemærkninger vedrørende de makroøkonomiske indikatorer, bekræftes konklusionerne i betragtning 121-132 i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Moreover, findings with regard to the sample are considered representative for the Union industry's level.
Mikroøkonomiske indikatorer
Therefore, any available information concerning the Union industry as a whole should be considered.
Priser og faktorer, som påvirker priserne
In the absence of any additional comments regarding the general remarks on the economic situation of the Union industry, the conclusions reached in recitals 107 to 112 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Interesserede parter gentog deres påstande om, at salgspriserne følger råvareomkostningerne — navnlig til krom og nikkel — og at udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens priser burde analyseres uden »legeringstillægget«.
Macroeconomic indicators
Som anført i betragtning 141 i forordningen om midlertidig told fremlagde parterne yderligere oplysninger om udsvingene i grundprisen.
Concerning employment, interested parties argued that the decrease in employment was due to an increasing productivity of the Union industry.
Oplysningerne gjaldt koldvalsede flade produkter af rustfrit stål i kategori 304 med en tykkelse på 2 mm med overfladebehandling 2B, der sælges af EU-producenter [6].
However, the increase of productivity of 6 % throughout the period considered was far lower that the decrease of employment of 11 %.
Ifølge oplysningerne faldt grundprisen gennem hele den betragtede periode med ca. 11 % fra 1015 EUR/ton i 2010 til 907 EUR/ton i undersøgelsesperioden.
This decrease is also influenced by the Union industry's production volume, which decreased by 5 % in a growing market.
Faldet er mindre end det fald fra 1200 EUR/ton til 1000 EUR/ton, som er anført i forordningen om midlertidig told, men støtter konklusionen om en væsentligt faldende grundpris.
As described above, due to the dumped imports from the countries concerned, the Union industry had to reduce their production in a growing market.
En interesseret part hævdede også, at oplysningerne i betragtning 141 i forordningen om midlertidig told, der vedrører analysen af grundprisen, ikke er tilstrækkelige til at støtte konklusionen om, at grundprisen er faldet for EU-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode, da oplysningerne angiveligt kun blev fremført af én EU-producent.
If the Union industry would have been able to benefit from the market growth and increase its production in line with the increasing demand, this increased production would have counterbalanced the increasing productivity.
Selv om oplysningerne kun blev fremført af én EU-producent, omfatter de ikke kun én EU-producent.
The resulting loss in employment would have been substantially lower.
CRU offentliggjorde oplysninger om hele det tyske marked og ikke om priser for individuelle EU-producenter.
Following final disclosure, an interested party argued that the employment of the Union industry significantly increased by 55 % since the period between 2004 and 2007.
Som anført i betragtning 97 blev dét, at grundpriserne blev ved med at falde gennem hele den betragtede periode, desuden bekræftet af oplysninger fra andre interesserede parter.
However, the employment figure stated in the provisional Regulation is the employment of the Union industry as a whole, while the employment figure given for the period between 2004 and 2007 only relates to part of the Union industry.
Det konkluderes derfor, at EU-erhvervsgrenens faldende salgspriser skyldes både de faldende omkostninger til råvarer samt det store fald i grundpriserne, som ikke er relateret til udviklingen inden for råvarepriserne.
These figures are therefore not comparable and do not show an increasing trend for employment.
Sidstnævnte del af prisfaldet, nemlig faldet i grundprisen, viser, at EU-erhvervsgrenen var nødt til at sænke sine priser yderligere igennem hele den betragtede periode som følge af pristrykket fra dumpingimporten fra de pågældende lande, selv om det resulterede i tab.
In the absence of other comments regarding the macroeconomic indicators, the conclusions reached in recitals 121 to 132 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede en importør, at ovenstående oplysninger vedrørende udviklingen i grundprisen er et udtryk for den europæiske producents »subjektive holdninger«, som burde efterprøves nærmere.
Microeconomic indicators
De oplysninger, der blev fremført i betragtning 97 kom dog ikke fra en europæisk producent, men af en sammenslutning af eksportører, der tilsammen udgjorde en part, der var imod indførelsen af foranstaltninger.
Prices and factors affecting prices
Da disse oplysninger er i overensstemmelse med offentligt tilgængelige oplysninger fra specialiserede konsulentfirmaer, betragtes de som pålidelige.
Interested parties reiterated their claims that sales prices follow the raw material costs, mainly chromium and nickel, and that the trend of the Union industry's prices should be analysed excluding the ‘alloy surcharge’.
Argumentet kan ikke godkendes, fordi analysen af skadesindikatorerne skal dække hele den betragtede periode.
These parties submitted additional information with regard to the base price fluctuation, referred to in recital 141 of the provisional Regulation.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger påpegede en interesseret part, at ifølge tabel 11 i forordningen om midlertidig told lå EU-erhvervsgrenens gennemsnitlige salgspris pr. enhed altid over produktionsomkostningen pr. enhed i hele den betragtede periode.
The data concerned the grade 304 SSCR with a thickness of 2 mm with finishing 2B sold by the Union producers [6].
Denne forskel betyder, at det tab, som EU-producenterne angiveligt har oplevet, ikke er forklaret.
According to these data, the base price continuously decreased throughout the period considered by around 11 % from 1015 EUR/tonne in 2010 to 907 EUR/tonne in the investigation period.
I den forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at produktionsomkostningen pr. enhed i tabel 11 i forordningen om midlertidig told kun omfattede produktionsomkostninger uden salgs-, administrations- og generalomkostninger.
The level of the decrease is lower than the decrease from 1200 EUR/tonne to 1000 EUR/tonne mentioned in the provisional Regulation, but supports the finding of a significantly decreasing base price.
Derfor vil en direkte sammenligning mellem omkostningen pr. enhed med salgsprisen pr. enhed ikke vise den fortjeneste, der blev opnået af de EU-producenter, der indgik i stikprøven.
An interested party also claimed that the evidence provided in recital 141 of the provisional Regulation regarding the analysis of the base price is insufficient to support the finding that the base price has declined over the period considered for the Union industry, as it was allegedly presented by only one Union producer.
Lagerbeholdninger
While the information was presented by one Union producer, it does not refer to one Union producer only.
Interesserede parter kommenterede på, at faldet på 7 % i lagerbeholdninger i den betragtede periode var en indikation på EU-erhvervsgrenens sunde tilstand.
Indeed, this information refers to information published by CRU, a widely-known consultancy for the steel industry.
Faldet på 7 % i lagerbeholdningerne i den betragtede periode følger dog blot vareproduktionen for de EU-producenter, der indgik i stikprøven.
CRU published the information for the German market as a whole, and not for prices of individual Union producers.
Som vist i tabel 13 i forordningen om midlertidig told udgør lagerbeholdningerne rent faktisk omkring 15 % af produktionen i hele den betragtede periode.
In addition, the fact that base prices continuously decreased throughout the period considered was confirmed by information provided by other interested parties, as mentioned in recital 97 above.
De mindre udsving på mellem 14 % og 16 % bør grundet den beskedne forskel betragtes som normale variationer i lagerbeholdninger.
It is therefore concluded that the decreasing sales prices of the Union industry are caused both by the decreasing raw material costs and the significant decrease of the base price which is unrelated to raw material cost developments.
Endvidere har interesserede parter fremført, at en lagerbeholdning på 15 % af den årlige produktion — svarende til ca. 2 måneders omsætning — er meget for en industri, der hovedsagelig producerer på baggrund af ordremodtagelse.
The latter part of the price decrease, namely the decrease of the base price, shows that the Union industry had to further decrease prices throughout the period considered despite being loss-making due to the price pressure exerted by the dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Dette lagerniveau skyldes den forskel, der er mellem tidspunktet for produktionen og de forskellige stadier af salgsprocessen, samt forskellige salgsmønstre.
Following final disclosure, an importer claimed that the information concerning the base price development given above consists of ‘subjective opinions’ of the European producer which should be further verified.
Kommissionen bekræfter, at lagerbeholdningerne ikke betragtes som en relevant indikator i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Since this information is in line with publically available information provided by specialized consultancies, it is considered reliable.
Investeringer
Following final disclosure, another interested party argued that the decreasing base price was largely due to an exceptionally high value for the second quarter of 2010.
Interesserede parter bemærkede, at EU-erhvervsgrenen foretog massive investeringer på over en mia. EUR om året i hele den betragtede periode.
The party did provide no arguments why this period should be disregarded for the analysis of the base price development.
Vedrørende denne kommentar fastslog Kommissionen at det niveau for investeringer, der er nævnt i forordningen om midlertidig told, i realiteten omfattede den samlede bogførte værdi af aktiver.
Since the analysis of the injury indicators has to cover the whole period considered, this argument cannot be accepted.
Det faktiske investeringsniveau er anført i tabellen nedenfor, som erstatter den respektive linje i tabel 14 i forordningen om midlertidig told:
Following final disclosure, an interested party pointed out that according to Table 11 of the provisional Regulation, the average unit sales price of the Union industry was always above the unit cost of production throughout the period considered.
Tabel 3
This difference allegedly means that the losses suffered by the Union producers are unexplained.
Investeringer, alle EU-producenter (del af skadesindikatorerne)
In this respect it is noted that the unit cost of production in Table 11 of the provisional Regulation only included the cost of production without selling, administrative and general expenses.
Undersøgelsesperioden
Therefore, a direct comparison of this unit cost with the unit sales price cannot show the profit achieved of the sampled Union producers.
Investeringer (i EUR)
Inventories
Indeks (2010 = 100)
Interested parties commented on the 7 % decrease in inventories in the period considered, considering it an indication of a healthy situation of the Union industry.
De faktisk gennemførte investeringer steg med 89 procentpoint fra 37 mio. EUR i 2010 til 70 mio. EUR i 2012, hvorefter de faldt med 47 procentpoint til 53 mio. EUR i den betragtede periode.
However, the decrease in inventories of 7 % in the period considered is merely following the production output of the sampled Union producers.
Selv om denne skadesindikator nominelt forbedrede sig gennem den betragtede periode, påvirker det ikke Kommissionens samlede negative skadesvurdering, da denne indikator var svækket i hele den betragtede periode.
Indeed, as shown in Table 13 of the provisional Regulation, the level of inventories accounted for around 15 % of the production throughout the period considered.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger fremførte en interesseret part, at efter at have revideret investeringerne burde indikatoren for »investeringsafkast« revideres tilsvarende.
The minor fluctuations between 14 % and 16 %, given their moderate level, should be considered normal variations in inventories.
Som anført i betragtning 150 i forordningen om midlertidig told er indikatoren for investeringsafkast imidlertid fortjenesten i procent af den bogførte nettoværdi af investeringerne.
Furthermore, interested parties argued that an inventory level of 15 % of annual production, translating into about 2 months' turnover, is high for an industry that produces mainly on order.
At revidere indikatoren for investeringer har derfor ingen indvirkning på afkastet af investeringer.
This inventory level is caused by the time difference between production and different stages of the sales process as well as different sales patterns.
Som følge heraf behøver investeringsafkastet ikke at blive revideret, eftersom det var korrekt angivet i forordningen om midlertidig told.
Therefore, the stock level of 15 % of production cannot be considered particularly high.
