Det skal erindres, at papirindustrien er en af de 26 erhvervsgrene, der er klassificeret som »tilskyndede«, som anført i betragtning 46.
In the original investigation, the Commission found that the provision of land-use rights by the GOC should be considered a subsidy within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(iii) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation in the form of provision of goods which confers a benefit upon the recipient companies.
Kommissionen bemærkede, at de aktiviteter, som Sinosure udfører inden for eksportkreditforsikring, er en integreret del af den bredere finansielle sektor, hvor det er fastslået, at staten griber direkte ind og fordrejer den normale funktion på det finansielle marked i Kina (jf. betragtning 53 ovenfor).
Neither the GOC nor the exporting producers provided evidence suggesting the coated fine paper industry stopped benefiting from the provision of land-use rights.
Kommissionen er bekendt med andre dokumenter, som beviser, at Sinosure direkte gennemfører statslige politikker bl.a. til fordel for de eksporterende producenter.
The Commission, on the basis of the information provided by the applicant in the request, as well as recent investigations [33] and the unverified information provided by the GOC in its questionnaire reply, established that the coated fine paper industry continued to benefit from LTAR provision of land during the RIP.
De seks foranstaltninger omfatter bl.a. en forbedret dækning af eksportkreditforsikring, kortfristet eksportkreditforsikring til et beløb af 84 mia. USD i 2009 og en nedsættelse af præmien.
On the basis of available information the Commission concluded that the rates paid for land use continued to be subsidised because the system imposed by the GOC does not adhere to market principles.
Som det eneste politiske eksportkreditforsikringsselskab er Sinosure opført som forvalter af planen.
As the paper industry continued to be an ‘Encouraged industry’ under the 12th Five-Year Plan during the review investigation period and continues to be an ‘Encouraged industry’ under the 13th Five-Year Plan, the Commission, on the basis of the available information established that the preferential assignment of land continues.
Hvad angår nedsættelsen af forsikringspræmien, skulle Sinosure sikre, at den gennemsnitlige præmie for kortfristet eksportkreditforsikring blev nedbragt med 30 % på grundlag af den samlede gennemsnitlige præmie i 2008.
The provision of land-use rights by the GOC to the paper industry as one of the encouraged industries shows that the subsidy is specific within the meaning of Article 4(2) of the basic Regulation.
Sinosure og en række andre finansielle institutioner forvalter og sørger for finansieringen.
New subsidies which were not countervailed in the original investigation
Virksomheder, der er omfattet af dette dokument, kan nyde godt af finansielle præferenceforanstaltninger, herunder eksportkreditforsikring.
I. Export insurance programmes for the coated fine paper industry
Som følge af den kinesiske regerings manglende samarbejdsvilje var Kommissionen ikke i stand til at indhente yderligere oplysninger om anvendelsen af denne meddelelse.
The legal bases for this programme are the following:
I mangel af beviser på det modsatte fandt Kommissionen, at papirindustrien også er omfattet af dette dokument.
the Notice on the Implementation of the Strategy of Promoting Trade through Science and Technology by Utilising Export Credit Insurance (Shang Ji Fa[2004] No 368), issued jointly by MOFCOM and Sinosure,
På grundlag af ovenstående elementer konkluderede Kommissionen, at Sinosure er et offentligt organ, da det har beføjelse til at udøve statslige funktioner.
the Export Directory of Chinese High and New Technology Products of 2006,
De samme konklusioner blev draget i tidligere antisubsidieundersøgelser vedrørende tilskyndede erhvervsgrene i Kina [39].
the so-called ‘840 plan’ included in the Notice by the State Council of 27 May 2009,
Da Sinosure er et offentligt organ med statslig beføjelse og varetager statslige love og planer, udgør indrømmelse af eksportkreditforsikring til producenter af coated finpapir et finansielt bidrag i form af potentiel direkte overførsel af midler fra staten, jf. grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. i).
the so-called ‘421 plan’ included in the Notice on the issues to implement special arrangements for financing of insurance on the export of large complete sets of equipment, issued jointly by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance on 22 June 2009;
Under alle omstændigheder konkluderede Kommissionen ud fra oplysninger i klagen og i de nylige undersøgelser [40], at der er tale om en fordel i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 2, og artikel 6, litra c), da Sinosure yder eksportkreditforsikring på mere favorable vilkår end dem, modtageren normalt ville kunne opnå på markedet, eller yder forsikringsdækning, der ellers ikke ville være tilgængelig på markedet.
Sinosure is a public body
Det fremgår af artikel 11 i vedtægterne, som blev indsendt i den kinesiske regerings spørgeskemabesvarelse, at virksomheden skal operere på breakeven-niveau.
On the basis of the information available to the Commission, and in the light of the GOC's and Sinosure's non-cooperation, the Commission concluded that Sinosure is a public body within the meaning of Article 2(b) of the basic Regulation.
Med andre ord søger Sinosure ifølge vedtægterne ikke at opnå en rimelig fortjeneste, men sigter kun mod breakeven i overensstemmelse med sin funktion som det eneste officielle eksportkreditforsikringsselskab i Kina.
In particular, like in the context of preferential lending above, the conclusion that Sinosure is vested with authority to exercise governmental functions is based on best facts available relating to State-ownership, formal indicia of government control as well as evidence showing that the GOC continues exercising meaningful control over the conduct of Sinosure.
Som forklaret ovenfor fremgår det af oplysningerne i sagen, at de retlige og politiske rammer, inden for hvilke Sinosure driver virksomhed, kræver, at den statsejede virksomhed gennemfører de statslige politikker og planer til opfyldelse af sit samfundspolitiske mandat.
As confirmed in the current investigation on the basis of the information available, the government exercises full ownership and financial control over Sinosure.
Sinosure giver derfor papirsektoren ubegrænset adgang til forsikringsdækning, og de lave forsikringspræmier, som det tilbyder, afspejler ikke de faktiske risici ved forsikring af eksporten i denne sektor.
The registered capital of RMB 4 billion comes from the venture fund of export credit insurance in line with the state finance budget.
I udløbsundersøgelsen vedrørende solcellepaneler blev det desuden fastslået, at Sinosure led tab i 2015, dvs. i undersøgelsesperioden for den nuværende undersøgelse [41], og ville have været tabsgivende i 2013 og 2014, hvis der ikke var blevet registreret visse ikke operationelle indtægter [42].
Furthermore, the State injected in 2011 RMB 20 billion through the China Investment Corporation, the sovereign wealth fund of China [34].
På grundlag af alle de foreliggende oplysninger i sagen kan det allerede konkluderes, at de præmier, der opkræves af Sinosure, stadig er utilstrækkelige til at dække de langsigtede aktiviteter.
The Articles of Association (‘AoA’) state that the business competent department of the company is the Ministry of Finance, and also requires Sinosure to submit financial and accounting reports and the fiscal budget report to the Ministry of Finance for examination and approval.
Subsidierne er betinget af eksportresultater, jf. grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 4, litra a), og derfor specifikke.
As for the Board of Supervisors, all of the supervisors are appointed by the State Council and execute their duties according to the ‘Interim Regulation on the Board of Supervisors of Important State-owned Financial Institution.’
Kommissionen konkluderede ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger, at producenter af coated finpapir i Kina nød godt af eksportkreditforsikring fra Sinosure i NUP.
The senior management of Sinosure is also appointed by the government.
Momsnedsættelse for varer fremstillet af mindst 70 % genbrugsfibre og restprodukter fra landbruget
Sinosure's website [35] shows that the Chairman of Sinosure is the Secretary of the Party Committee, and the majority of the Senior Management are also Members of the Party Committee.
Fra 1. juli 2015 er momsrefusions- eller -fritagelsesordningen for produktion og arbejdskraftintensive tjenesteydelser med omfattende brug af ressourcer konsolideret i »Notice of Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation to Print and Issue Catalogue of Products and Labour Services with Comprehensive Utilization of Resources (CaiShui [2015] nr.78)«.
Sinosure did not publish its Annual Report for a number of years [36], including the Annual Report during the RIP.
Hjemmemarkedssalget af coated finpapir er underlagt en momssats på 17 %.
However, its 2011 Annual Report (‘AR 2011’) illustrates that Sinosure exercises government functions and policies so that it can be concluded that this entity is a direct expression of the government itself.
I henhold til meddelelsen får virksomheder en momsnedsættelse på 50 % for varer fremstillet med mindst 70 % genbrugsfibre og restprodukter fra landbruget såsom bagasse, affaldspapir og halm.
Sinosure's Annual Report 2011 contains several statements in this respect, namely: Sinosure ‘proactively carried out the policy function of an ECA … and achieved a good start in the first year of the 12th ‘Five-Year Plan’ period’ (p. 4 AR 2011); ‘the furtherance of corporate reform reinforced the policy function of Sinosure as an ECA.
Ifølge ikke efterprøvede oplysninger fra den kinesiske regering i henhold til ovennævnte meddelelse finder momsrefusionspolitikkerne anvendelse på salg af varer, til hvis produktion der medgår genbrugs- eller overskudsmaterialer eller -energi fra anden produktion.
The CCCPC Conference on Economy has laid emphasis on such function and made clear requirements on credit insurance, which lined out our growth path’ (p. 5 AR 2011); ‘In the year of 2011, Sinosure implemented CPC Central Committee's and State Council's strategies, decisions and arrangements as well as state policies on diplomacy, foreign trade, industry and finance, gave full play to its policy function and achieved a fast growth’ (p. 11 AR 2011); ‘Sinosure fully executed the state policy of ‘Special Arrangement for Export Financing Insurance for Large Complete-set Equipment’ and fulfilled its obligations laid out by the State’ (p. 11 AR 2011).
Ifølge ikke efterprøvede oplysninger fra den kinesiske regering forvaltes ordningen af statens skatteadministration i Folkerepublikken Kina med bistand fra andre kompetente myndigheder og gennemføres af de lokale skattemyndigheder inden for deres respektive jurisdiktioner.
In the solar panels expiry review, it was found that the 2014 Annual Report of Sinosure confirmed the situation described by the AR 2011, since ‘Sinosure saved no effort in supporting China's national policies and sought to achieve this by exploring new ideas and concepts, improving working methods, perfecting products and services, as well as enhancing efficiency in performing its policy functions’ or that it has a role as a ‘policy-supportive organ’ [37].
Virksomheder, der ansøger om momsrefusion, skal indsende deres ansøgning og andre relevante dokumenter til skattemyndighederne med henblik på undersøgelse.
The institutional framework and other documents issued by the GOC under which Sinosure operates further shows that Sinosure is vested with the authority to carry out governmental policies.
Efter at ansøgningen er godkendt, kan ansøgeren være omfattet af fordelene.
The Notice on the Implementation of the Strategy of Promoting Trade through Science and Technology by Utilising Export Credit Insurance (Shang Ji Fa [2004] No 368 of 26 July 2004) was issued jointly by MOFCOM and Sinosure in 2004 and still governs Sinosure's activities.
Kommissionen fastslog, at den kinesiske regerings momsnedsættelse på varer fremstillet af mindst 70 % genbrugsfibre og restprodukter fra landbruget bør betragtes som et subsidie i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 1, litra a), nr. ii), og artikel 3, stk. 2, idet der gives afkald på offentlige indtægter, der ellers ville være indgået, hvilket medfører en fordel for modtagervirksomhederne.
Among the objectives of this Notice is the promotion of the export of high and new technology and of high value-added products through the further use of export credit insurance.
På grundlag af de foreliggende oplysninger konkluderede Kommissionen endvidere, at subsidiet var specifikt i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 2.
As set out in recitals (40) to (52) above, the Commission established that the coated fine paper industry is regarded by the GOC as a key/strategic industry, whose development is actively pursued by the State as a public policy objective.
Hverken den kinesiske regering eller de eksporterende producenter fremlagde beviser, som tydede på, at industrien for coated finpapir ikke var omfattet af denne momsnedsættelse som påstået af ansøgeren.
It is recalled that the paper industry is one of the 26 industries which are classified as ‘Encouraged’, as stated in recital (46) above.
Den meddelelse, der er omhandlet i betragtning 147, nævner udtrykkeligt papir som varer, hvortil der anvendes ressourcer såsom bagasse, affaldspapir og halm, og fastslår, at producenterne skal overholde de tekniske forskrifter, der gælder for papirmasse- og papirindustrien.
The Commission noted that the activity of export credit insurance performed by Sinosure is integral part of the broader financial sector where it is established that the government intervention directly interferes and distorts the normal functioning of the financial market in the PRC (see recital (53) above).
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen, at den kinesiske regering yder subsidier i form af momsnedsættelser for varer fremstillet med mindst 70 % genbrugsfibre og restprodukter fra landbruget til industrien for coated finpapir, og at producenterne af coated finpapir i Kina er omfattet af disse nedsættelser i NUP.
The Commission is aware of other documents proving that Sinosure directly carries out governmental policies benefiting, inter alia, the exporting producers.
Kommissionen konkluderede ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger, at producenter af coated finpapir i Kina nød godt af dette subsidie i NUP.
The so-called 840 plan is detailed in the Notice by the State Council of 27 May 2009 [38].
Samlet konklusion vedrørende fortsat subsidiering
This name refers to the use of USD 84 Billion as export insurance and it is one of the six measures launched by the State Council in year 2009 to stabilize export demand further to the global crisis and the consequent increased demand for export credit insurance.
Ud fra ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen, at producenter af coated finpapir i Kina fortsat nød godt af udligningsberettigede subsidier i NUP.
The six measures include notably an improved coverage of export credit insurance, the provision of short-term export credit insurance on a scale of USD 84 billion in 2009 and a reduction of the premium rate.
Udvikling i importen i tilfælde af foranstaltningernes ophævelse
As the only policy institution underwriting export credit insurance, Sinosure is indicated as the executor of the plan.
Produktionskapaciteten og den uudnyttede kapacitet i Kina
As for the reduction of the insurance premium, Sinosure was required to ensure that the average rate of short-term export credit insurance would be reduced by 30 % on the basis of the overall average rate in 2008.
I betragtning af den manglende samarbejdsvilje blev produktionskapaciteten og den uudnyttede kapacitet i Kina fastlagt på grundlag af de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger og særlig de oplysninger fra ansøgeren, som omfattede data fra en uafhængig leverandør af industry intelligence-oplysninger, jf. grundforordningens artikel 28.
The so-called 421 plan was included in the Notice on the issues to implement special arrangements for financing of insurance on the export of large complete sets of equipment issued jointly by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance on 22 June 2009.
Produktionskapaciteten til coated træfrit papir i Kina var på 7629000 ton i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode [43], hvoraf 40 % går til fremstilling af CFP [44].
This was also an important policy supporting China's ‘going out’ policy in response to the 2009 global financial crisis and provided USD 42,1 billion of financing insurance to support the export of large complete sets of equipment.
Den samlede produktion af coated træfrit papir i Kina havde en kapacitetsudnyttelse på 85 % [45] i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode, hvilket førte til en uudnyttet kapacitet på 1167000 ton, dvs. 32 % af det samlede forbrug af CFP i Unionen.
Sinosure and some other financial institutions would manage and provide the funding.
Hvis det antages, at kun 40 % af denne kapacitet ville blive anvendt til CFP, blev den uudnyttede kapacitet i Kina til fremstilling af den pågældende vare fastlagt til at være på omkring 13 % af det samlede EU-forbrug.
Enterprises covered by this document could enjoy the preferential financial measures, including export-credit insurance.
Kommissionen fandt desuden, at det er let for producenterne at omstille produktionen af andre coatede træfri produkter til den pågældende vare [46].
Due to the non-cooperation of the GOC, the Commission was unable to obtain additional details on the application of this notice.
Hvis de kinesiske producenter omstiller produktionen til CFP, ville dette medføre en stigning på 3877000 ton i produktionskapaciteten, hvilket er over 100 % af det samlede EU-forbrug (fastslået til 3589694 ton).
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Commission considered that paper industry is also covered by this document.
Selv om niveauet af uudnyttet kapacitet til coated finpapir forventes at dale en smule, med 4 %, forventes efterspørgslen på det kinesiske hjemmemarked at falde med over 10 % frem til 2021 [47].
On the basis of the above elements, the Commission concluded that Sinosure is a public body as it is vested with authority to exercise governmental functions.
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen, at kinesiske eksporterende producenter har betydelig uudnyttet kapacitet, som de kunne anvende til at producere CFP til EU-markedet, hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves.
The same conclusions were reached in previous anti-subsidy investigations concerning encouraged industries in the PRC [39].
Kommissionen fandt også, at dette eksportpotentiale kunne vokse som følge af den forventede nedgang i efterspørgslen på hjemmemarkedet i Kina.
As Sinosure is a public body vested with government authority and executes governmental laws and plans, the provision of export credit insurance to coated fine paper producers constitutes a financial contribution in the form of potential direct transfer of funds from the government within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation.
EU-markedets tiltrækningskraft
In any event, based on the information provided in the complaint as well as in recent investigations [40] the Commission concluded that a benefit within the meaning of Articles 3(2) and 6(c) of the basic Regulation exists since Sinosure provides export credit insurance on terms more favourable than the recipient could normally obtain on the market, or provides insurance cover that would otherwise not be available at all on the market.
Undersøgelsen har vist, at EU-efterspørgslen efter CFP forblev betydelig.
Indeed, Article 11 of the Articles of Association that was submitted in the GOC's questionnaire reply provides that the company shall operate at breakeven.
Selv om EU-forbruget faldt i den betragtede periode, er EU-markedet stadig det største marked i verden og tegner sig for 25 %-30 % af den samlede efterspørgsel.
In other words, by statute Sinosure does not aim to achieve a reasonable profit, but has to aim merely at breakeven according to its function as the sole official export credit insurer in the PRC.
På grundlag af de foreliggende oplysninger var priserne ved eksport fra Kina til tredjelande tæt på Unionen i gennemsnit 7 % lavere end priserne i Unionen i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
As explained above, the records on file have shown that the legal and policy environment in which Sinosure operates requires the state-owned company to execute the government policies and plans in fulfilment of its public policy mandate.
En sådan prisforskel er betydelig i betragtning af, at markedet for CFP er konkurrencedygtigt og meget prisfølsomt.
Among the ‘Encouraged Industries’ specifically supported by the State, the producers of coated fine paper have had full access to export credit insurance provided by Sinosure at preferential rates.
Desuden forventes efterspørgslen på hjemmemarkedet i Kina at falde, hvilket giver de kinesiske producenter et stærkt incitament til at finde alternative markeder til at absorbere den kinesiske overkapacitet.
Therefore, Sinosure provides unlimited availability of insurance cover for the paper sector and the low insurance premiums it offers do not reflect the actual risks incurred in insuring the exports in this sector.
Det amerikanske marked, som er et andet vigtigt marked for CFP, er fortsat uattraktivt for Kina, fordi USA har indført antidumping- og udligningsforanstaltninger over for Kina for den pågældende vare.
Furthermore, in the solar panels expiry review it was established that Sinosure incurred losses in 2015, i.e. during the review investigation period of the current investigation [41], and would have been loss-making in 2013 and 2014 if certain non-operational income had not been recorded [42].
I den forbindelse hævdede den kinesiske regering, at det lave importniveau fra Kina viste, at EU-markedet slet ikke var attraktivt for de kinesiske eksporterende producenter.
Based on all these elements on the record, it can already be concluded that the premium rates charged by Sinosure remain inadequate to cover its long-term operations.
Den gjorde desuden gældende, at ifølge kinesiske eksportstatistikker eksporterede Kina i 2015 mere CFP til tre andre lande (Indien, Japan, Thailand) og til andre europæiske lande uden for Unionen, hvilket viser, at disse lande uden handelsbeskyttelsesforanstaltninger var mere attraktive.
On the basis of the above, the Commission established the existence of a benefit which would not have been otherwise available to the coated fine paper industry.
Den kinesiske regering anførte også, at Kina i øjeblikket er part i 14 FTA'er med forskellige handelspartnere, og at landet ligger i forhandlinger om endnu flere.
The subsidies are contingent upon export performance within the meaning of Article 4(4)(a) of the basic Regulation, and therefore specific.
Dette ville føre til øget eksport af CFP til de berørte partnerlande.
The Commission, on the basis of available information, concluded that producers of coated fine paper in the PRC benefited from the export credit insurance provided by Sinosure in the RIP.
For så vidt angår virkningen af FTA'erne, blev påstanden fremsat i forbindelse med kinesiske varer i almindelighed og indeholdt ikke noget bevis med hensyn til den pågældende vare.
VAT rebates for products furnished with at least 70 % recycled fibre and agricultural residues
Påstanden blev anset for at være for bred og mangle belæg.
From 1 July 2015, the VAT refund or exemption scheme for production and labour services which comprehensively utilise resources is consolidated under the ‘Notice of Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation to Print and Issue Catalogue of Products and Labour Services with Comprehensive Utilization of Resources (CaiShui [2015] No 78)’.
Under alle omstændigheder peger de oplysninger, Kommissionen råder over, i modsat retning, som forklaret i betragtning 166.
Domestic sales of coated fine paper are subject to a 17 % VAT rate.
