Hvis de mikroøkonomiske data for FerroAtlantica var blevet taget i betragtning, ville visse økonomiske indikatorer måske have udvist andre tendenser, men da de to samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter repræsenterer en betydelig del af EU-erhvervsgrenen, er en analyse baseret på deres data berettiget.
This means that even if the company is not a complainant, it had an equal opportunity to come forward, express its views and cooperate by providing the Commission with the requested information.
EU-forbruget
However, the company did not cooperate and remained silent.
Det samlede EU-forbrug blev fastlagt ved at lægge den samlede import til Unionen til samtlige EU-producenters hjemmemarkedssalg.
The Commission has no means of compelling the company to cooperate neither of preventing it from cooperating.
EU-forbrug (i ton)
the two Union producers cooperated and provided the necessary information.
Kilde:
They represent around [35 %/47 %] of the total Union production.
Samlet EU-forbrug
the analysis of the microeconomic indicators was based on the data of the two cooperating Union producers.
Indeks
Had the microeconomic data of FerroAtlantica been taken into account, the various economic indicators might have displayed different trends or not, but as the two cooperating Union producers represent a major proportion of the Union industry an analysis based on their data is legitimate.
EU-forbruget faldt over årene i takt med faldet i EU-produktionen og EU-forbruget af stål.
Union consumption
Import fra Indien
The total Union consumption was established by adding to the domestic sales of all Union producers the total imports in the Union.
For at bevare importtallenes fortrolige karakter er de dog anført i indekseret form.
The Union consumption developed as follows:
Importen fra Indien udviklede sig således:

Importmængde fra Indien
Investigation period
Markedsandel
Total Union consumption
Importen fra Indien udgjorde ca. en fjerdel af den samlede import til Unionen og den største markedsandel af den samlede import til Unionen.
Index
Klageren påstod, at der har været en omfattende stigning i markedsandelen for importen fra Indien fra 2008-2013.
Union consumption decreased over the years, in line with the decrease in the Union production and Union consumption of steel.
Importpriser (EUR/ton)
Allocating these ‘not specified’ imports to their respective countries of origin, the overall trend of imports does not change significantly.
Indien
However, to maintain the confidentiality of those imports, the imports figures are ranged.
Prisen på importen fra Indien faldt i takt med EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser.
Imports from India developed as follows:
Det fremgår af Eurostats data, at importen fra Indien er den billigste sammenlignet med de øvrige store lande, der eksporterer siliciummangan.
Table 2
Prisunderbud
Import volume (in metric tonnes) and market share
Kommissionen vurderede prisunderbuddet i undersøgelsesperioden ved at sammenligne:
Eurostat data combined with information on ‘not specified’ imports.
Justeringen blev foretaget ved en såkaldt »pro rata-justering«, en formel der ofte anvendes i erhvervsgrenen til at benchmarke prisen på den pågældende vare i forhold til prisen på standard siliciummangan (65 % mangan og 16 % silicium).
195000-259000
På dette grundlag blev det konstateret, at en indisk eksporterende producent i stikprøven underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser med 6,5 %, og at de to andre indiske eksporterende producenter i stikprøven ikke underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
23 %-30 %
En række interesserede parter mente, at en sammenligning mellem EU-priserne og de indiske priser på grundlag af den gennemsnitlige pris i henhold til Eurostat er misvisende.
Imports from India increased considerably in 2012 compared to 2011 but decreased again in the following years to a level in the IP slightly higher than in 2011.
To interesserede parter foreslog, at Kommissionen skulle justere den indiske gennemsnitspris ud fra den antagelse, at siliciummangan fra Indien gennemsnitligt indeholder 58 % mangan.
The trend of imports from India was similar to the trends of production and sales of the Union Industry and was opposite to the trends on imports from other third countries (imports from India increased in 2012 whilst imports from other third countries decreased, and vice-versa) in 2013 and during the IP.
En part foreslog også, at den ukrainske gennemsnitspris baseret på Eurostats data skulle justeres ud fra den antagelse, at siliciummangan fra Ukraine gennemsnitligt indeholder 68 % mangan.
The complainant claimed that there has been a vast increase in market share from India from 2008 until 2013.
Parterne påstod, at den indiske gennemsnitspris for siliciummangan efter en sådan justering ikke ville være lavere end EU-producenternes eller andre tredjelandsproducenters priser.
However, as set out in recital 25, the examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2011 to the end of the IP.
Kommissionen er bekendt med, at Eurostats data omfattede alle kvaliteter af den pågældende vare og derfor ikke gav mulighed for en egentlig sammenligning pr. varetype.
Therefore, any data prior to 2011 were not examined and could not be taken into account.
Da der ikke foreligger mere præcise data pr. varetype, navnlig vedrørende de ikke samarbejdsvillige indiske producenter, kan brugen af gennemsnitspriser i skadesanalysen ikke undlades, og analysen gennemføres under alle omstændigheder med behørig omhu i sammenhæng med de øvrige skadesindikatorer.
The weighted average price of imports into the Union from India developed as follows:
En interesseret part forklarede, at pro rata-justeringen på grundlag af manganindholdet ikke tager høje for hele prisforskellen, da køberen af den lavere varekvalitet skal afholde omkostningerne ved at fjerne de yderligere urenheder.
Table 3
Justeringen for manganindholdet hos de indiske eksporterende producenter i stikprøven blev baseret på det nøjagtige indhold, som blev kontrolleret i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
687-911
Justeringen skelner således mellem de forskellige typer selv for siliciummangan med manganindhold på under 60 %.
631-837
En interesseret part påstod, at siliciummangan produceret af EU-erhvervsgrenen er dyrere, da det indeholder færre urenheder såsom fosfor og bor end siliciummangan produceret i Indien.
The price of Indian imports dropped in line with the Union industry's sales price.
Parten fremlagde oplysninger om anmodninger fra kunder, som ønsker siliciummangan, der indeholder under en vis procentdel fosfor og bor, og påstod, at kunderne derfor var villige til at betale et tillæg for dette.
Eurostat data also show that the Indian imports are the cheapest of the main exporting countries of silico-manganese.
De beviste kun, at visse brugere — for at kunne producere varer af visse særlige typer stål — kræver, at den siliciummangan, de indkøber, har et indhold af fosfor eller bor under en vis grænse.
The Commission assessed the price undercutting during the investigation period by comparing:
Da der ikke forelå klare beviser for betaling af et tillæg, blev påstanden afvist.
the weighted average sales prices per product type of the cooperating Union producers charged to unrelated customers on the Union market, adjusted to an ex-works level;
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger påstod klageren, at det ikke er usædvanligt at konstatere et begrænset underbud på et råvaremarked, og at et underbud ikke i sig selv er et krav for at kunne konkludere, at der er sket skade.
the corresponding weighted average prices per product type of the imports from the sampled Indian exporting producers to the first independent customer on the Union market, established on a cost, insurance, freight (CIF) basis, with appropriate adjustments for post-importation costs.
Som det fremgår af afsnit 5.5, baserede Kommissionen sine konklusioner om skade på en række indikatorer, og niveauet for underbuddet var i denne sag ikke afgørende for at kunne fastslå skade.
The price comparison was made on a type-by-type basis for transactions at the same level of trade, duly adjusted where necessary, and after deduction of rebates and discounts.
Klageren påstod, at Kommissionen anvendte forskellige metoder til beregning af dumpingmargenen og underbuddet, idet den anvendte de transaktioner, hvor der var størst dumping, til at fastsætte dumpingmargenen, men ikke til underbudsberegningen.
The result of the comparison was expressed as a percentage of the cooperating Union producers' turnover during the investigation period.
Kommissionen forstår ikke, hvorfor den skulle anvende den samme metode til underbuds- og dumpingberegningerne.
To take account of the lower level of manganese in the silico-manganese sold by the sampled Indian exporting producers (if and when warranted), a quality adjustment was made.
De to beregninger har helt forskellige formål:
The adjustment was made by using the so-called ‘pro-rata scaling’, a formula widely used in the industry to benchmark the price of the product concerned against standard grade silico-manganese (65 % manganese and 16 % silicon).
Beregningen af transaktionerne med størst dumping anvendes til at beregne en dumpingmargen for de ikke samarbejdsvillige indiske eksporterende producenter, hvorimod beregningen af prisunderbuddet ikke anvendes til at beregne nøjagtige margener, men til at undersøge dumpingimportens virkninger på priserne, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 3.
One of the sampled Indian exporting producers sold low-carbon silico-manganese to the Union.
Påstanden blev derfor afvist.
Low-carbon silico-manganese is produced by the Union industry but not by the two cooperating Union producers.
EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation
To ensure fair comparison between the Indian low-carbon and the Union standard silico-manganese, the Commission adjusted upwards the Union average selling price using the average market premium for low-carbon silico-manganese.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5, omfattede undersøgelsen af virkningerne af dumpingimporten på EU-erhvervsgrenen en vurdering af alle økonomiske indikatorer, der havde en indflydelse på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation i den betragtede periode.
By doing so, the Commission took into account the fact that a higher price is paid for low-carbon silico-manganese compared to the standard grade silico-manganese.
Skadesindikatorerne er baseret på de specifikke data fra de to samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter, som i denne sag er klagere, og som tegner sig for en betydelig del af den samlede EU-produktion i undersøgelsesperioden.
On this basis, it was found that one sampled Indian exporting producer was undercutting the Union industry prices by 6,5 % and the other two sampled Indian producers were not undercutting the Union prices.
Hvor data vedrørende samtlige EU-producenter fremgik af klagen, blev disse også undersøgt med henblik på følgende indikatorer:
For the non-cooperating exporting producers, limited undercutting was established on the basis of average import prices as per Eurostat data, with no adjustment for quality differences or different level of trade.
EU-forbrug, markedsandel, produktion, produktionskapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, beskæftigelse og produktivitet.
Several interested parties stated that a comparison between Union prices and Indian prices based on the average Eurostat price is misleading.
For at beskytte de fortrolige data fra de to samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter, er alle tal, jf. betragtning 60, anført i indekseret form.
Two interested parties proposed that the Commission should adjust the Indian average price assuming that the average manganese content of the Indian silico-manganese is 58 %.
Der anvendes følgende skadesindikatorer:
One party also suggested that the Ukrainian average price based on Eurostat data should be adjusted assuming that the average manganese content of the Ukrainian silico-manganese is 68 %.
produktion, produktionskapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, salgsmængde, markedsandel, vækst, beskæftigelse, produktivitet, størrelse af dumpingmargenen, genrejsning efter tidligere dumping, gennemsnitlige enhedspriser, enhedsomkostninger, arbejdskraftomkostninger, lagerbeholdninger, rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast og evne til at rejse kapital.
Those parties claimed that after such adjustments, the Indian average price of silico-manganese would not be lower than the prices charged by the Union producers or by producers in other third countries.
En interesseret part kritiserede det faktum, at visse af FerroAtlanticas data blev taget i betragtning i forbindelse med de makroøkonomiske indikatorer (salgsmængde og markedsandel, produktion, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse, beskæftigelse og produktivitet), men ikke i forbindelse med de resterende mikroøkonomiske indikatorer.
The Commission is aware of the fact that the Eurostat data included all grades/qualities of the product concerned and thus they did not allow for a proper comparison between the product types.
Påstanden afvises, da FerroAtlantica ikke samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, og Kommissionen havde derfor ingen mikroøkonomiske data til rådighed fra denne virksomhed.
In the absence of more precise data per product type, notably with regard to the non-cooperating Indian producers, the use of average prices in the injury analysis cannot be disregarded and the assessment it is made with due care in any event together with the rest of the injury indicators.
Produktion, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse
One interested party explained that the pro-rata adjustment based on the manganese content does not capture the entire price difference as the buyer of the lower quality product has to bear the costs of getting rid of the additional impurities.
Produktionen, produktionskapaciteten og kapacitetsudnyttelsen udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
One interested argued that the product-control-number (PCN) structure used by the Commission did not distinguish between various types of silico-manganese with manganese content below 60 %, thus rendering the comparison for undercutting calculations inappropriate.
Tabel 4
Another interested party noted that by creating ranges of manganese content the results are inaccurate.
Produktion, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse (ton)
The Commission rejected those claims because the pro-rata adjustment is based on a generally accepted market practice, and therefore appropriate.
Spørgeskemabesvarelser og klagernes skøn vedrørende data for ikke samarbejdsvillige virksomheder.
Also, that interested party did not provide an alternative methodology.
Produktionsmængde
The adjustment made on the manganese content of the sampled Indian exporting producers was based on the precise content as verified during the investigation.
Produktionskapacitet
Therefore, it distinguishes between the various types even for the silico-manganese with manganese content below 60 %.
Kapacitetsudnyttelse
One interested party claimed that the silico-manganese manufactured by the Union industry is more expensive because it contains fewer impurities such as phosphorus and boron than the silico-manganese produced in India.
Produktionsmængden i 2013 og UP var lavere end i begyndelsen af den betragtede periode.
This party provided information about requests made by customers to be supplied with silico-manganese containing less than a certain percentage of phosphorus and boron, alleging that consequently customers were willing to pay a premium for this.
Den højeste produktionsmængde blev konstateret i 2012.
However, the information submitted did not prove that the phosphorus or boron content have a price effect.
Som følge af den beslutning, der blev truffet af en del af EU-erhvervsgrenen, steg produktionskapaciteten for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen i 2012 i forhold til 2011 og lå derefter på omtrent samme niveau.
It only proved that certain users could require — in order to produce certain special steel products — that the silico-manganese they purchase should have a phosphorus or boron content below a certain threshold.
Kapacitetsudnyttelsen faldt derfor markant.
In the absence of clear evidence on a premium paid, this claim was rejected.
Salgsmængde og markedsandel
After final disclosure, the complainant argued that it is not unusual to find little undercutting in a commodity market and that the existence of undercutting is not a requirement per se to establish the existence of injury.
EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde og markedsandel udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
Indeed, as set out in Section 5.5 below, the Commission based its findings on injury on a number of indicators, and the level of undercutting in this case has not been decisive for the establishment of injury.
Tabel 5
The complainant claimed that the Commission applied a different method in the calculations of the dumping margin and the establishment of the undercutting in that it used the most dumped transactions for establishing the dumping margin but not for the undercutting.
Salgsmængde (ton) og markedsandel
The Commission fails to see why it should apply the same methodology for undercutting calculations and dumping calculations.
Spørgeskemabesvarelser og klagernes skøn vedrørende data for ikke samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter
The purpose of the calculations is entirely different;
Salgsmængde på EU-markedet
the calculation of the most dumped transactions served to calculate a dumping margin for the non-cooperating Indian exporting producers, whereas price undercutting calculations were not made to calculate any precise margins, but to examine the effect of the dumped imports on prices, as required by Article 3(3) of the basic Regulation.
Da salget imidlertid faldt forholdsmæssigt mindre end forbruget, har markedsandelen været stigende og var højere i UP end i 2011.
Therefore, this claim was rejected.
Vækst
Economic situation of the Union industry
I den betragtede periode oplevede EU-erhvervsgrenen ingen vækst, men formåede dog i en vanskelig situation med faldende forbrug af fastholde markedsandelen.
In accordance with 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 indicators having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered.
Beskæftigelse og produktivitet
The injury indicators are based on the specific data provided by the two cooperating Union producers, the complainants in this case, representing a major proportion of the total Union production during the investigation period.
Beskæftigelsen og produktiviteten udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
Where available from the complaint, data relating to all Union producers were also examined for the following indicators:
Tabel 6
Union consumption, market share, production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, employment and productivity.
Antal ansatte
As explained in recital 60 above, to protect the confidentiality of the data of the two cooperating Union producers, all values are expressed in ranges.
Produktivitet (ton/ansat)
The injury indicators are:
Antallet af ansatte steg i 2012 og faldt i den følgende periode.
production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of the dumping margin, recovery from past dumping, average unit prices, unit cost, labour costs, inventories, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments, and ability to raise capital.
Produktiviteten, målt som produktionsenhed pr. ansat, varierede og var i UP højere end i 2011.
One interested party criticised that some of FerroAtlantica's data were taken into account for the macroeconomic indicators (sales volume and market share, production, production capacity and capacity utilisation, employment and productivity) but not for the remaining microeconomic indicators.
Dumpingmargenens størrelse og genrejsning efter tidligere dumping
This claim is rejected because FerroAtlantica did not cooperate and therefore the Commission had no microeconomic data from that company at its disposal.
Alle dumpingmargener ligger over bagatelgrænsen, og for en eksporterende producent ligger dumpingmargenen betydeligt over denne grænse.
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Virkningen af de faktiske dumpingmargeners størrelse på EU-erhvervsgrenen var ikke ubetydelig i betragtning af mængden af og priserne på importen fra Indien.
The production, production capacity and capacity utilisation developed over the period considered as follows:

Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation (metric tonnes)
Salgspriser i Unionen

Gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat (EUR)
50 %-70 %
Gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat

De gennemsnitlige arbejdskraftomkostninger pr. ansat beregnes ved at dividere de to samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters samlede arbejdskraftomkostninger i en given periode med det samlede antal ansatte i samme periode.
The production volume in 2013 and during the IP was lower than at the beginning of the period considered.
Som følge heraf steg arbejdskraftomkostningerne pr. ansat.
The year 2012 represents a peak in production.
Lagerbeholdninger
Due to the decision of a part of the Union industry production capacity for the Union industry as a whole increased in 2012 compared to 2011 and remained fairly the same afterwards.
Lagerbeholdningerne hos de to samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter udviklede sig i den betragtede periode som følger:
As a consequence, the capacity utilisation decreased significantly.

Sales volume and market share
Slutlagre (ton)
The Union industry's sales volume and market share developed over the period considered as follows:

The sales volume during the IP was lower than in 2011.
Investeringer (1000 EUR)
The year 2012 represented a peak in sales.

Konklusion vedrørende skade
The number of employees increased in 2012 and decreased in the following period.
Faktorer såsom udviklingen i produktionsmængden, kapacitetsudnyttelsen samt salgsmængden og prisen udviser en tydelig negativ tendens for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The productivity, measured as unit of output per employee, fluctuated and during the IP it was higher than in 2011.
