Det forventes, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil genskabe lige konkurrencevilkår og et rimeligt prisniveau på EU-markedet og forbedre EU-erhvervsgrenens rentabilitet til et niveau, der anses for normalt for denne kapitalintensive industri.
This allegation is based on the purchase price of some companies related to the exporting producer (purchases from two Union producers).
Uden told kunne nogle af EU-producenterne blive nødt til at reducere deres aktiviteter inden for termopapir eller endog indstille dem og nedlægge arbejdspladser.
In this respect it should first be noted that, as explained above (see recital 20 and following), phenol-free LWTP is interchangeable and competes with phenol-containing LWTP, thus its prices can also be influenced by Korean imports and the overall market, where phenol-containing LWTP is predominant (84 % of the Union consumption).
Dette ville skabe et marked med mindre konkurrence og efterlade mange brugere med endnu mere begrænsede forsyningskilder.
Moreover, the Union industry data showed that over the period considered the unit sales prices of phenol-free LWTP dropped less than the unit sales prices of phenol-containing LWTP.
Uden foranstaltninger er der stor sandsynlighed for, at EU-erhvervsgrenens situation forværres yderligere.
So in fact the price depression is even more important when disregarding the impact of the phenol-free LWTP sales of the Union industry.
Der kan forventes yderligere tab af fortjeneste og markedsandel, da der ikke er grundlag for at fastslå, at prisfaldet vil ophøre uden indførelse af foranstaltninger.
Furthermore, the undercutting calculation based on a comparison of similar product types, i.e. excluding phenol-free types which were not imported, was found to be significant.
Derfor konkluderede Kommissionen for nuværende, at det vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse, at der indføres antidumpingtold.
Other reasons
Andre interesserede parters interesser
According to some parties, Union producers suffered because of increasing competition amongst them (for capacity utilisation), high costs (due to a worldwide increase in raw materials prices linked to the USD/EUR exchange rate & increasing labour and energy costs), global internet and increased digitalisation (i.e. more paperless payments) and price pressure from large retail chains (such as petrol stations and supermarkets).
Kommissionens tjenestegrene sendte spørgeskemaer til 50 interesserede parter.
However, none of these factors was found to break the causal link between material injury and dumped imports from the Republic of Korea.
Det var imidlertid ikke alle, der besvarede spørgeskemaet: 25 omspolere, forhandlere i forskellige led og en sammenslutning (Confederation of European Paper Industries, »CEPI«) fremsatte bemærkninger, men kun 14 parter besvarede rent faktisk spørgeskemaet.
There is no evidence of any anti-competitive practices.
Besvarelserne var imidlertid ikke altid udtømmende, og nogle af dem indeholder simple påstande, som ikke bekræftes af verificerbare beviser.
Nothing on file showed that competition amongst Union producers (for capacity utilisation) was unfair.
Tre af de omspolere, der besvarede spørgeskemaet, gav udtryk for, at de går ind for foranstaltningerne hovedsagelig med den begrundelse, at foranstaltningerne ville genskabe redelige konkurrencevilkår på EU-markedet.
As regards the allegation of high costs, it is noted that Union producers kept a tight grip on costs during the period considered, their increase being minor (+ 3 %).
Hvad angår indkøbsmængden af termopapir, vejer disse omspolere tungere end dem, der ikke havde givet udtryk for deres synspunkter eller var imod foranstaltningerne.
Such an increase includes any changes in paper pulp prices (representing around one third of total LWTP costs), energy costs and labour costs, the latter being analysed in more detail in recitals 85-86.
Også CEPI gik ind for foranstaltningerne og hævdede, at generelle leverandørindustrier, ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne omspolere og de endelige forbrugere ville blive påvirket negativt af dumpingimporten fra Korea.
The investigation could not confirm that global internet and increased digitalisation (i.e. more paperless payments) could be a source of injury to the Union industry.
De parter, der var imod indførelsen af foranstaltninger, frygter en udbudsmangel af papir og prisstigninger, mangel på alternative forsyningskilder, konkurrencebegrænsende praksis fra EU-producenternes side og i sidste ende afvikling af visse omspolingsaktiviteter og/eller lukning af visse omspolervirksomheder.
On the contrary, Union consumption of LWTP was found to be increasing steadily.
Det fremgik imidlertid af undersøgelsen, at der er flere forsyningskilder i Den Europæiske Union, at der ikke er tegn på konkurrencebegrænsende praksis fra EU-producenternes side, og at indførelsen af foranstaltninger ikke vil medføre betydelige prisforhøjelser selv i betragtning af dumpingmargenens størrelse.
As to the allegation that there would be some price pressure from large retail chains (such as petrol stations and supermarkets), the interested parties did not provide any substantiate evidence and the investigation could not confirm it.
Endelig hævdede både den eksporterende producent og Republikken Koreas regering, at analysen af Unionens interesser bør tage hensyn til Hansol-gruppens investeringer i EU i perioden 2013-2016 og til antallet af arbejdspladser hos de forretningsmæssigt forbundne omspolere.
It is further noted that the investigation showed that some Union producers underwent restructuring and reorganisation processes in the recent past with a view to improve their competitiveness.
De fremlagde imidlertid ingen specifikke beviser vedrørende produktionen af termopapir.
Some of these processes are still on-going and some of the concrete actions foreseen, such as specific investments, were hindered by the effect of dumped imports on those producers' profitability, therefore affecting their ability to raise capital.
Da foranstaltningen blot vil genskabe rimelige konkurrencevilkår på EU-markedet, konkluderes det endvidere, at den pågældende vare som følge af antidumpingforanstaltningerne vil importeres til Unionen til ikke-skadevoldende priser.
This factor was thus not found to break the causal link between material injury and dumped imports from the Republic of Korea.
Dette burde være til fordel for uafhængige omspolere.
Conclusion on causation
Derfor konkluderede Kommissionen i denne fase, at antidumpingtoldens virkninger for de parter, der er imod foranstaltningerne, ikke opvejer foranstaltningernes positive virkninger for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded at this stage that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned and the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not break the causal link.
For så vidt angår parter, der havde fremsat udokumenterede bemærkninger, viste undersøgelsen ikke, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger vil få en væsentlig indvirkning, om nogen, for dem.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports.
Konklusion vedrørende Unionens interesser
The other identified factors such as the export performance of Union producers, the anti-dumping duties in the USA, higher costs and a series of rationalisation processes were provisionally not found to break the causal link, even considering their possible combined effect.
På baggrund af ovenstående fastslog Kommissionen, at der ikke var tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke var i Unionens interesse at indføre foranstaltninger over for importen af termopapir med oprindelse i Republikken Korea i denne fase af undersøgelsen.
UNION INTEREST
MIDLERTIDIGE ANTIDUMPINGFORANSTALTNINGER
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether it could clearly conclude that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case, despite the determination of injurious dumping.
På baggrund af Kommissionens konklusioner om dumping, skade, årsagssammenhæng og Unionens interesser bør der indføres midlertidige foranstaltninger for at hindre, at EU-erhvervsgrenen påføres yderligere skade som følge af dumpingimport.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, traders on various levels and users.
Skadestærskel (skadesmargen)
Interest of the Union industry
For at fastlægge omfanget af foranstaltningerne fastsatte Kommissionen først det toldbeløb, der er nødvendigt for at afhjælpe den skade, der er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The Union industry consists of five producers located in three Member States (Germany, Spain and Finland).
Skaden ville være afhjulpet, hvis EU-erhvervsgrenen kunne dække sine produktionsomkostninger og opnå en fortjeneste før skat på salget af samme vare på EU-markedet, som med rimelighed kunne forventes af en virksomhed af denne type i sektoren på normale konkurrencevilkår, dvs. uden dumpingimport.
None opposed the initiation of the investigation.
Klageren anmodede i klagen Kommissionen om at anvende »ca. 10 %« af omsætningen som en rimelig ikke-skadevoldende fortjenstmargen.
All Union producers participated actively to the investigation and argued that the imposition of measures could safeguard employment, promote larger investments and contribute to the reversing trend of decreasing profitability observed since the Korean exporter entered the EU market.
På dette grundlag beregnede Kommissionen en ikke-skadevoldende pris på samme vare for EU-erhvervsgrenen ved at lægge ovennævnte fortjenstmargen på 11,5 % til de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenters produktionsomkostninger i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Union industry underwent already significant restructuring in the past and is constantly attentive to improve its efficiency in the production process.
Kommissionen fastsatte derefter skadestærsklen på grundlag af en sammenligning mellem den vejede gennemsnitlige importpris hos den samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producent i det pågældende land, som fastlagt ved beregningen af prisunderbud, og den vejede gennemsnitlige ikke-skadevoldende pris på samme vare, som de EU-producenter, der indgik i stikprøven, solgte på EU-markedet i undersøgelsesperioden.
The comparison of the production volume figures in Table 4 above with the Union consumption depicted in recitals 53-55 shows that, contrary to what a party claimed, the Union industry can meet demand in the Union.
Forskelle som følge af denne sammenligning blev udtrykt som en procentdel af den vejede gennemsnitlige cif-importværdi.
The high capacity utilisation rate shown in Table 4 above does not mean that the Union industry cannot produce more.
Skadesmargenen blev foreløbigt fastsat til 35,8 %.
On the one hand, Union producers have multi-purpose equipment with ‘swing capacity’, namely the capacity to turn the production to a different product.
Midlertidige foranstaltninger
On the other hand, the smaller Union producer that has been phasing out the production of the product in question could reconsider this choice if there is a fair competition.
Der bør indføres en midlertidig antidumpingtold på importen af visse typer letvægtstermopapir med oprindelse i Republikken Korea i overensstemmelse med reglen om den lavest mulige told i grundforordningens artikel 7, stk. 2.
It is expected that the imposition of measures will restore a level playing field and a fair price level on the Union market, and improve the Union industry's profitability to levels considered normal for this capital intensive industry.
Kommissionen sammenlignede skadesmargenerne og dumpingmargenerne.
If there were no duties, some of the Union producers might have to reduce their LWTP activities, or even dismantle them, and cut jobs.
Tolden bør fastsættes på niveauet for dumping- eller skadesmargenen, afhængigt af hvad der er lavest, dvs. dumpingmargenen.
This might leave the market with less competition and many users with even more limited sources of supply.
På grundlag af ovenstående bør de midlertidige antidumpingtoldsatser, udtrykt i procent af cif-prisen, Unionens grænse, ufortoldet, være som følger:
In the absence of measures, the situation of the Union industry is very likely to further deteriorate.
Land
Further losses of profit and market share are likely to happen since there are no grounds to establish that price depression will stop without measures.
Skadesmargen
The Commission therefore concluded at this stage that the imposition of anti-dumping duties would be in the interest of Union industry.
Foreløbig antidumpingtold
Interest of other interested parties
Republikken Korea
The Commission services sent questionnaires to 50 interested parties.
Som det fremgår af betragtning 50, er der i dette tilfælde udbredt samarbejdsvilje, da importen fra de samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producenter udgjorde den samlede eksport til Unionen i undersøgelsesperioden.
However, not all of them replied to the questionnaires: 25 converters, traders at different level and one association (the Confederation of European Paper Industries, ‘CEPI’) made representations, but only 14 parties did actually reply to the questionnaire.
Derfor bør restantidumpingtolden baseres på niveauet for den samarbejdsvillige virksomhed.
Those responses were however not always exhaustive, some of them being mere allegations not confirmed by verifiable evidence.
En virksomhed kan anmode om, at disse individuelle antidumpingtoldsatser anvendes, hvis den efterfølgende ændrer navnet på sin enhed.
Three of the converters who did reply to the questionnaire, expressed to be in favour of the measures, mainly on the ground that measures would restore fair conditions of competition in the EU market.
Anmodningen skal rettes til Kommissionen [6].
In terms of purchase volume of LWTP, these converters weigh more than the ones that did not express views or were opposing the measures.
Anmodningen skal indeholde alle relevante oplysninger, som gør det muligt at dokumentere, at ændringen ikke påvirker virksomhedens ret til at drage fordel af den toldsats, som finder anvendelse på den.
Also CEPI was in favour of the measures, and claimed that general upstream industries, unrelated converters and end-consumers would be negatively affected by Korean dumped imports.
Hvis ændringen af virksomhedens navn ikke påvirker dens ret til at benytte den toldsats, der gælder for den, offentliggøres der en meddelelse om navneændringen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
The parties opposing the imposition of measures fear a shortage of paper and price increases, a lack of alternative sources of supply, anticompetitive practices by the Union producers, and, ultimately, the end of some converting activities and/or converters.
For at sikre en korrekt håndhævelse af antidumpingtolden vil den for »alle andre virksomheder« finde anvendelse på både de ikke samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producenter i denne undersøgelse og de producenter, der ikke eksporterede til Unionen i undersøgelsesperioden.
However, the investigation showed that there are several available sources of supply in the European Union, there is no indication of anti-competitive practices from Union producers and that the imposition of measures would not entail significant price increases, bearing also in mind the level of the dumping margin.
AFSLUTTENDE BESTEMMELSER
Finally, both the exporting producer and the Government of the Republic of Korea claimed that the Union interest analysis should take into account the investments made by the Hansol group in the Union in the period 2013-2016 and of number of jobs pertaining to the related converters.
I overensstemmelse med god administrativ praksis vil Kommissionen opfordre de interesserede parter til at fremsætte skriftlige bemærkninger og/eller til at anmode om at blive hørt af Kommissionen og/eller høringskonsulenten i handelsprocedurer inden for den fastsatte tidsfrist.
However, they did not provide any evidence specific to the production of LWTP.
Konklusionerne om indførelsen af en midlertidig told er foreløbige og kan ændres i undersøgelsens endelige fase —
Moreover, since the measure would only restore fair competition in the Union market, it is considered that anti-dumping measures will entail that imports of the product concerned will enter the Union at non-injurious prices.
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
This should benefit independent converters.
Artikel 1
The Commission therefore concluded at this stage that the impact of anti-dumping duties on the parties opposing measures that does not outweigh the positive effect of measures to the Union industry.
Der indføres en midlertidig antidumpingtold på importen af visse typer letvægtstermopapir af vægt 65 g/m2 eller derunder, i ruller af en bredde på 20 cm eller derover med en vægt (inklusive papiret) på 50 kg eller derover og en diameter (inklusive papiret) på 40 cm eller derover (»jumboruller«), med eller uden basecoat på den ene eller begge sider, overtrukket med en varmefølsom belægning på den ene eller begge sider, og med eller uden dæklag, med oprindelse i Republikken Korea og i øjeblikket henhørende under KN-kode ex48099000, ex48119000, ex48169000 og ex48239085 (Taric-kode: 4809900010, 4811900010, 4816900010, 4823908520).
As to parties that made unsubstantiated representations, the investigation could not show that the imposition of measures would have a significant impact, if at all, on them.
Den midlertidige antidumpingtold fastsættes til 12,1 % af nettoprisen, frit Unionens grænse, ufortoldet, for den i stk. 1 omhandlede vare.
Conclusion on Union interest
Den i stk. 1 omhandlede vares overgang til fri omsætning i Unionen er betinget af, at der stilles sikkerhed svarende til den midlertidige told.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that there were no compelling reasons that it was not in the Union interest to impose measures on imports of LWTP originating in the Republic of Korea at this stage of the investigation.
Gældende bestemmelser vedrørende told finder anvendelse, medmindre andet er fastsat.
PROVISIONAL ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Artikel 2
On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on dumping, injury, causation and Union interest, provisional measures should be imposed to prevent further injury being caused to the Union industry by the dumped imports.
Inden for en frist på 25 kalenderdage fra datoen for denne forordnings ikrafttræden kan interesserede parter:
Injury elimination level (Injury margin)
anmode om fremlæggelse af de vigtigste kendsgerninger og betragtninger, der ligger til grund for vedtagelsen af denne forordning
To determine the level of the measures, the Commission first established the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury suffered by the Union industry.
sende deres skriftlige bemærkninger til Kommissionen og
The injury would be eliminated if the Union industry was able to cover its costs of production and to obtain a profit before tax on sales of the like product in the Union market that could be reasonably achieved under normal conditions of competition by an industry of this type in the sector, namely in the absence of dumped imports.
Inden for en frist på 25 kalenderdage fra datoen for denne forordnings ikrafttræden kan de omhandlede parter i artikel 21, stk. 4, i forordning (EU) 2016/1036 fremsætte bemærkninger om anvendelsen af de midlertidige foranstaltninger.
The investigation showed that the actual profitability of the Union industry before the surge of Korean imports had a major impact was 13 % in 2012 and 11,5 % in 2013.
Artikel 3
On these grounds, the Commission therefore considers that the profit margin achieved by the industry in the most recent representative year, i.e. the year 2013, is an appropriate basis for a target profit.
Denne forordning træder i kraft dagen efter offentliggørelsen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
On this basis, the Commission calculated a non-injurious price of the like product for the Union industry by adding the above-mentioned profit margin of 11,5 % to the cost of production during the investigation period of the sampled Union producers.
Artikel 1 i denne forordning anvendes i en periode på seks måneder.
The Commission then determined the injury elimination level on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average import price of the cooperating exporting producer in the country concerned, as established for the price undercutting calculations, with the weighted average non-injurious price of the like product sold by the sampled Union producers on the Union market during the investigation period.
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i hver medlemsstat.
Any difference resulting from this comparison was expressed as a percentage of the weighted average import CIF value.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 16. november 2016.
The injury margin was provisionally established at 35,8 %.
På Kommissionens vegne
Provisional measures
Jean-Claude Juncker
Provisional anti-dumping measures should be imposed on imports of certain lightweight thermal paper originating in the Republic of Korea, in accordance with the lesser duty rule in Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation.
EUT L 176 af 30.6.2016, s. 21.
The Commission compared the injury margins and the dumping margins.
Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1225/2009 (EUT L 343 af22.12.2009, s. 51)blev ophævet ved Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) 2016/1036 (»grundforordningen«).
The amount of the duties should be set at the level of the lower of the dumping and the injury margins, i.e. at the level of the dumping margin.
EUT C 62 af 18.2.2016, s. 7.
On the basis of the above, the provisional anti-dumping duty rates, expressed on the CIF Union border price, customs duty unpaid, should be as follows:

Provisional anti-dumping duty
I 2015 var importen fra Republikken Korea 22,8 gange større end i 2012.
The Republic of Korea
Markedsandelen for denne import steg fra 0,7 % i 2012 til 13,6 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
As also explained in recital 50, the level of cooperation in this case is high as the imports of the cooperating exporting producers constituted the total exports to the Union during the investigation period.
Undersøgelsen viste, at EU-erhvervsgrenens faktiske fortjeneste var 13 % i 2012 og 11,5 % i 2013, inden den kraftige stigning i importen fra Korea fik en væsentlig indflydelse herpå.
Therefore, the residual anti-dumping duty is based at the level of the cooperating company.
Kommissionen finder derfor, at den fortjenstmargen, som erhvervsgrenen har opnået i det seneste repræsentative år, dvs. i 2013, er et passende grundlag for målfortjenesten.
A company may request the application of these individual anti-dumping duty rates if it changes subsequently the name of its entity.
Det er der mange årsager til: Det første spørgsmål vedrører kun en af EU-producenterne, og det skal bemærkes, at de to andre producenter i stikprøven, som ikke var genstand for foranstaltningerne, forøgede deres salg til USA.
The request must be addressed to the Commission [6].
Formand
The request must contain all the relevant information enabling to demonstrate that the change does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the duty rate which applies to it.
