Under alle omstændigheder blev der ikke fremlagt fyldestgørende dokumentation, der kunne tyde på, at klageren ville udøve konkurrencebegrænsende adfærd i tilfælde af indførelse af antidumpingforanstaltninger, ud over at vedkommende allerede har en stærk stilling på markedet.
When analysing whether dumped imports have caused injury under Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation a particular consideration must be given to whether there has been significant price undercutting by the dumped imports.
Der blev ikke fremlagt nogen afgørelse fra en konkurrencemyndighed, hvor det blev konstateret, at klageren udøvede konkurrencebegrænsende adfærd for så vidt angår den pågældende vare.
This entails a comparison with the price of the like product of the Union industry.
Der blev ikke fremlagt nogen retsafgørelse, hvor det blev konstateret, at klageren påvirkede udbydere.
The Commission analysed whether the effects of such imports depressed prices to a significant degree or prevented price increases that would have otherwise occurred.
Der mindes om, at formålet med indførelse af antidumpingforanstaltninger er at genetablere ensartede spilleregler, således at EU-producenter og producenter fra tredjelande kan konkurrere på rimelige vilkår, og ikke at tvinge eksporterende producenter ud af markedet.
The Commission recalled that a continued pressure exerted by low-priced dumped imports that does not allow the Union industry to adapt its sales prices may constitute causality within the meaning of the basic Regulation [12].
Derfor vil tolden i henhold til EU-regler kun blive fastsat til et niveau, hvor indiske eksportører fortsat ville være i stand til at konkurrere med EU-producenterne, men på rimelige priser.
In recital 102 of the provisional Regulation the Commission acknowledged that a significant fall in Union consumption in 2011 and 2012 was due to the global financial crisis and shrinking public expenditure and that this decrease in consumption contributed to the situation of the Union industry at the beginning of the period considered.
Således fastsættes de kombinerede antidumping- og udligningsforanstaltninger til et dumping- og subsidieringsniveau, der ligger under niveauet for underbud.
However, from 2013 when the Union consumption was still depressed until the end of the investigation period, Indian dumped imports to the Union increased significantly, by 16 % as compared to an overall increase of 10 % during the whole period considered.
Desuden er der adskillige producenter i tredjelande (Kina, Tyrkiet, Rusland og Schweiz), som allerede sælger til EU-markedet.
At the same time the Indian imports increased their market share by almost 18 % over the period considered and by 6 % from 2013 until the end of the IP.
Deres salgsmængde i den betragtede periode var lav og faldende.
This was made possible by selling the product concerned at prices substantially lower than the ones charged by the Union industry.
Dog synes en af årsagerne til et sådant fald i andre importørers salg at have været de indiske producenters aggressive prisfastsættelse, da deres priser lå et godt stykke under de priser, som alle andre store importlande opkrævede (undtagen Rusland).
Indeed, for the IP the investigation has established that Indian dumped export prices undercut the Union prices by more than 30 %
Brugerne bekræftede, at importen fra andre lande, i tilfælde af at EU-erhvervsgrenen ensidigt hæver priserne, kan stige på mellemlang sigt, når eksportører fra tredjelande først har modtaget de supplerende cerificeringer, som medlemsstaterne kræver.
As a consequence, despite the global recovery from the financial crisis and an increase in Union consumption from 2013, the Union industry could not fully benefit thereof.
Kommissionen var derfor overbevist om, at beskyttelsen af EU-erhvervsgrenen mod skadevoldende dumping i afvejningen og afbalanceringen af interesser skal prioriteres højere end brugernes interesse i at undgå mulige negative virkninger på konkurrencen på EU-markedet.
Although the Union industry increased its sales volumes between 2013 and the end of the investigation period, the sales volumes decreased overall during the period considered by 10 % as compared to Indian imports, which increased by 10 % during the same period.
Mens der er en frygt for, at antidumpingtold vil forstærke den førende EU-producents allerede stærke stilling, sikrer en række afhjælpende faktorer, som for eksempel fortsat konkurrence fra Indien, andre eksportører og substitutionsprodukter, at der opretholdes et tilstrækkeligt konkurrencemæssigt pres på EU-erhvervsgrenen til at undgå potentielle negative virkninger for konkurrencen på EU-markedet.
The influx of dumped imports from India, which significantly undercut the Union industry's prices, prevented the Union industry from increasing its sales volumes on the Union market to levels that could ensure sustainable profit levels.
Endelig må det gentages, at Kommissionen er rede til at overvåge virkningerne af sine foranstaltninger på konkurrencen på EU-markedet.
In order to maintain the production volume the Union industry increased its export volumes (see the table below).
Som nævnt i betragtning 131 mente Kommissionen ikke, at der var nogen strukturel overkapacitet, og afviste derfor denne påstand.
120-140
Efter den foreløbige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede begge eksporterende producenter, at den metodologi, der var anvendt til beregning af skadestærsklen, var mangelfuld, da sammenligningen med EU-salgspriserne ikke er foretaget på grundlag af den faktiske pris, der bliver opkrævet af den første uafhængige kunde i Unionen, men på grundlag af en beregnet eksportpris, der er kunstigt lav.
100-120
Formålet med at beregne en skadesmargen er at fastslå, hvorvidt det ville være tilstrækkeligt, at der for eksportprisen for dumpingimporten skal gælde en lavere toldsats end den, der er baseret på dumpingmargenen, for at afhjælpe den skade, som dumpingimporten har forvoldt.
Export Volume Index
Vurderingen foretages på grundlag af eksportprisen, Unionens grænse, som anses for at ligge på et niveau, der kan sammenlignes med EU-erhvervsgrenens pris ab fabrik.
Export Price (EUR/t)
Ved salg gennem forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører beregnes eksportprisen, på samme måde som dumpingmargenen, på grundlag af videresalgsprisen til den første uafhængige kunde, behørigt justeret i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 9.
1050-1100
Da eksportprisen er et nødvendigt element i beregningen af skadesmargenen, og da denne artikel er den eneste artikel i grundforordningen, hvor man finder vejledning i, hvordan eksportprisen beregnes, er det berettiget at anvende denne artikel analogt.
950-1000
Grundforordningens artikel 2, stk. 9, giver også grundlag for at fratrække forarbejdningsomkostninger, hvis det er relevant, samt omkostninger, der er afholdt mellem import og videresalg.
Average Export Price Index
Kommissionen mente derfor, at den anvendte metodologi giver et præcist grundlag for at sammenligne priser og således fastsætte skadestærsklen.
The sales of the Union industry outside of the Union increased considerably by 30 % over the period considered, while the average selling price remained relatively stable.
Påstanden afvises derfor, og metoden til bestemmelse af skadestærsklen, jf. betragtning 123-127 i forordningen om midlertidig told, bekræftes.
Therefore, the sales outside of the Union are actually a factor alleviating the injury.
Endelige foranstaltninger
Absent an increase of sales outside of the Union, the Union industry would have been in an even more injurious situation.
I betragtning af konklusionerne vedrørende dumping, skade, årsagssammenhæng og Unionens interesser og i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 9, stk. 4, bør der indføres endelige antidumpingforanstaltninger for så vidt angår import af den pågældende vare på samme niveau som dumpingmargenerne og i henhold til reglen om den lavest mulige told.
Jindal pointed out that the export sales prices of the Union Industry were below the Union sales prices, and could therefore not alleviate the injury.
I det foreliggende tilfælde bør toldsatsen derfor fastsættes på samme niveau som de konstaterede dumpingmargener.
The increased sales outside of the Union enabled the Union industry to have a higher level of production, maintain the level of employment and increase the capacity utilisation, which means a better absorption of fixed costs.
Efter fremlæggelsen af de endelige resultater anmodede EU-erhvervsgrenen om indførelse af foranstaltninger i form af en specifik told snarere end en værditold.
The fact that the average exports unit prices were slightly lower (within a 5 % range) than the Union sales prices can be due to many different factors, such as the sales of less sophisticated product types, larger diameters, larger volumes of sales transactions, etc. and therefore the prices outside of the Union could be lower than the cost of sales in the EU.
Der mindes om, at der blev indført en værditold i den foreløbige fase.
The exporting producers also claimed that the injury was self-inflicted because the complainant focused increasingly on Chinese manufacturing activity in the PRC and a large part of their sales to countries other than the EU are Chinese products, which causes, inter alia, low capacity utilisation.
Værditold er den sædvanligvis foretrukne form for foranstaltninger, da den gør foranstaltningerne mere effektive i tilfælde af ændringer i eksportprisen.
The Commission did not accept this argument.
EU-erhvervsgrenen anmodede om indførelse af foranstaltninger i form af en specifik told af tre primære årsager:
As noted above, the Union industry's export sales increased considerably by 30 %, which prevented the fall in production and a deterioration of several other injury indicators.
De indiske eksportpriser på duktile jernrør har fulgt en nedadgående kurve, der er blevet forværret efter indførelsen af midlertidig antidumpingtold.
The exporting producers and Tata claimed that the injury is due to structural overcapacity.
De indiske eksporterende producenter har allerede påbegyndt overvæltningspraksisser siden indførelsen af de midlertidige antidumpingforanstaltninger, og ordninger mellem forretningsmæssigt forbundne virksomheder er meget sandsynlige i dette tilfælde.
However, the fact that the Union industry had a low capacity utilisation rate during the period considered does not necessarily mean that it suffers from structural overcapacity and/or inefficiencies of such magnitude that it would justify a downwards adjustment of the non-injurious price.
Priserne på duktile jernrør kan svinge i takt med svingninger i priserne på råmaterialer.
It is recalled that despite a low capacity utilisation in 2011, that was even lower than the rate established during the investigation period, the Union industry had a higher profitability.
Det er værd at bemærke, at absorberingsbestemmelsen (artikel 12 i grundforordningen) giver mulighed for at genundersøge ændringer i den normale værdi, hvilket implicit er en anerkendelse af, at fald i eksportpriser potentielt kan forårsages af ændringer i omkostninger, der fører til konsekvente fald i den normale værdi og herigennem i dumpingniveauet.
However, as it was found that that SG&A costs had only increased slightly during the period considered this argument was rejected.
Endelig anerkendte EU-erhvervsgrenen med hensyn til det tredje punkt selv, at priserne på det vigtigste råmateriale til fremstilling af duktile støbejernsrør, jernmalm, er faldet siden 2014.
The exporting producers and Tata claimed that an increase in investments is a clear indication of an improved situation and that growing Indian imports do not cause the injury.
Dette vil have indflydelse på den normale værdi samt eksportprisen og herigennem også indvirke på dumpingniveauet.
First of all, even the increased volume of investments EUR 22 Millions-24 Millions was relatively low in relation to the total Union industry sales exceeding EUR 400 Millions.
Faldet i priserne på jernmalm har ganske rigtigt sandsynligvis været en medvirkende årsag til faldet i priserne på duktile støbejernsrør siden slutningen af undersøgelsesperioden.
In addition, as noted in recital 117 there was a breakdown of a large liquid iron mixer for one Union producer.
At priserne på duktile støbejernsrør kan svinge i takt med svingninger i priserne på råmaterialer, er ikke en grund til at indføre en fast told i stedet for en værditold.
The replacement of the mixer required a high level of expenditure in the fixed assets in the IP.
Af alle ovenstående årsager vurderes det, at en fast told, der ville være urimeligt byrdefuld for importører i situationer, hvor eksportpriserne falder i takt med priserne på råmaterialer, ikke er ønskelig.
ECL considered that a reduced profitability is the effect of the breakdown.
Der blev gennemført en antisubsidieundersøgelse sideløbende med antidumpingundersøgelsen.
Jindal also claimed that an increased spread between the unit selling price and the cost of production in the IP indicates a lack of causality between the dumped imports and the injury.
I betragtning af anvendelsen af reglen om den lavest mulige told og den kendsgerning, at de endelige subsidiemargener er lavere end skadestærsklen, bør Kommissionen indføre en endelig udligningstold på niveauet for de konstaterede endelige subsidiemargener og derefter pålægge en endelig antidumpingtold op til den relevante skadestærskel.
As explained above in recital 108, the unit selling price and the cost of production per unit are not established on the same basis and there is hence not a direct correlation between these two indicators.
For at undgå dobbelttælling tog Kommissionen for så vidt angår antidumpingforanstaltningerne højde for det forhold, at tre af støtteordningerne er eksportstøtteordninger, der effektivt reducerer eksportpriserne og således øger dumpingmargenerne.
In any event, the price increase over the cost of production in the IP was not sufficient to restore the target profitability of the Union Industry.
Kommissionen reducerede således dumpingmargenen med de støttebeløb, der blev konstateret i forbindelse med eksportordningerne i den sideløbende antisubsidieundersøgelse.
The same exporting producer considered that given that the import prices were at the similar level in 2011 and in the IP (based on Comext data) it may be concluded that there is a coincidence in time between the undercutting/substantially lower prices and a good performance of the Union industry in 2011.
Ud fra ovenstående fastsættes den sats, som tolden vil blive indført til, som følger:
This hypothesis is clearly based on premises that the Commission does not share.
Virksomhedens navn
The situation of the Union industry was not healthy in 2011 as its profitability was also below the target profit of 5 %.
Subsidiemargen
Absent the significant price undercutting of the Union industry sales prices by dumped Indian imports, which served to depress prices to a significant degree or prevent price increases that would otherwise have occurred, the Union industry's sales volumes would have increased, capacity utilisation would have improved and the profitability levels would have increased further.
Udligningstold
The Commission therefore concludes that the material injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the dumped Indian imports which prevented price increases that would have enabled the Union industry to return to a sustainable profitability.
Antidumpingtold
This causal link was not broken by other factors, such as the financial crises, Union export sales, low capacity utilisations, etc. as explained in the preceding recitals.
Told i alt
Absent any other comments on causation, the findings in recital 109 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Alle andre virksomheder
UNION INTEREST
De individuelle virksomhedsspecifikke antidumpingtoldsatser, der er anført i denne forordning, er fastsat på grundlag af resultaterne af denne undersøgelse.
Both exporting producers claimed that it would not be in the Union interest to impose anti-dumping measures against India in view of the complainant's dominant position on the Union market, taking into account also that the complainant has production of the product concerned in China, which it could easily import to the Union should measures against India be imposed thus further exacerbate its dominant position.
De afspejler derfor den situation, der blev konstateret vedrørende disse virksomheder i løbet af undersøgelsen.
The investigation has demonstrated that imports into the Union from the complainant's related Chinese facilities were insignificant during the investigation period.
Når den pågældende vare er fremstillet af en anden virksomhed, hvis navn ikke er specifikt opført i den dispositive del af nærværende forordning, herunder enheder, der er forretningsmæssigt forbundet med de specifikt opførte virksomheder, bør den ved import ikke drage fordel af disse satser, men være omfattet af den toldsats, der anvendes for så vidt angår »alle andre virksomheder«.
Furthermore, as indicated in the provisional Regulation, the Commission sent a supplementary information request to analyse more in-depth the possible effect the imposition of measures could have on competition.
Enhver anmodning om anvendelse af disse antidumpingtoldsatser for individuelle virksomheder (for eksempel efter ændring af enhedens navn eller efter etablering af nye produktions- eller salgsenheder) bør rettes til Kommissionen [15] med alle relevante oplysninger, navnlig om ændringer i virksomhedens aktiviteter i forbindelse med produktion, salg på hjemmemarkedet eller eksportsalg i forbindelse med — for eksempel — den pågældende navneændring eller den pågældende ændring vedrørende produktions- eller salgsenhederne.
The Commission received around 50 replies, mainly from the EU distributors of the product concerned, construction companies and several water utilities, whose identity can be located on the open file.
Hvis det er relevant, vil nærværende forordning blive ændret gennem opdatering af listen over virksomheder, der nyder fordel af individuelle toldsatser.
Almost all users who replied to the supplementary information request were concerned about the very high market share of the complainant and expressed their apprehension that after the imposition of duties its main competitors, i.e. Indian companies, would be forced to exit the Union market leaving the complainant as a dominant player.
Med henblik på at minimere risikoen for omgåelse vurderes der i dette tilfælde at være behov for særlige foranstaltninger for at sikre en korrekt anvendelse af antidumpingforanstaltningerne.
Some distributors also alleged that SG PAM had refused to trade with them or had offered them less advantageous conditions since they had started cooperating with the exporting producers.
Disse særlige foranstaltninger omfatter følgende: fremlæggelse for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder af en gyldig handelsfaktura, der overholder kravene i nærværende forordnings artikel 1, stk. 3.
One user provided two price quotes demonstrating in its view that SG PAM had increased its prices by around 25 % in December 2015.
Import, der ikke er ledsaget af en sådan faktura, er omfattet af den dumpingtold, der anvendes for så vidt angår alle andre virksomheder.
Some users also alleged that SG PAM had used its strong position to manipulate tenders in favour of their products.
Endelig opkrævning af midlertidig told
While it is true that the EU competition rules impose more stringent standards of behaviour on a company that has a significant market share it is ultimately up to the competition authorities to determine whether there is a dominant position and whether it is abused.
Som følge af de konstaterede dumpingmargener og den skade, der er forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen, bør de beløb, for hvilke der er stillet sikkerhed i form af den midlertidige antidumpingtold, som blev indført ved forordningen om midlertidig told, opkræves endeligt.
The competition authorities proceed first by examining the relevant product and geographic market.
Beløb, for hvilke der er stillet sikkerhed ud over den kombinerede endelige antidumpingtold og antisubsidietold, frigives.
For example in the case regarding HDPE and MDPE pipes for sewage, it was not excluded that they competed with ductile iron pipes and steel pipes, though ultimately the product market definition was left open [13].
Foranstaltningernes gennemførlighed
In the present case, the Commission was unable to define the relevant product and geographic market absent any formal competition complaint brought before it.
Efter den foreløbige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede klageren, at en af de eksporterende producenter er begyndt at absorbere den indførte midlertidige told ved at nægte at hæve sine priser.
Exclusive distribution agreements offering more advantageous conditions or even stricter vertical restraints in the distribution of goods are not illegal per se [14] and it is ultimately up to a competition authority to conduct an assessment if such restraints are anti-competitive or even abusive.
Denne påstand kan ikke kontrolleres inden for rammerne af denne undersøgelse.
As regards the price quotes allegedly pointing to price increases by SG PAM, the Commission found them hard to compare without any more in-depth investigation about the precise offers and circumstances involved.
I tilfælde af at der indgives en anmodning om anti-absorbering, kan der igangsættes en fornyet undersøgelse i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 12, stk. 1, hvis der fremlægges umiddelbare beviser.
In addition, the Commission received only one piece of evidence of alleged price increases, which in itself cannot prove that they have been wide-spread.
Det udvalg, der er nedsat ved grundforordningens artikel 15, stk. 1, har ikke afgivet udtalelse —
In anti-dumping proceedings the Commission examines competition concerns to establish whether, on balance, it would be clearly against the Union interest to impose anti-dumping measures.
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
Such an analysis cannot encompass a competition assessment in the strict legal sense, which can only be carried out by a competent competition authority.
Artikel 1
In any case, no robust evidence was provided that would suggest that the complainant would engage in anti-competitive behaviour should anti-dumping measures be imposed other than the fact that it has a strong position already on the market.
Der indføres hermed en endelig antidumpingtold på importen af rør af duktilt støbejern (også kendt som kuglegrafitstøbejern), undtagen duktile støbejernsrør uden indvendig eller udvendig coating, i øjeblikket henhørende under KN-kode ex73030010 og ex73030090 (Taric-kode 7303001010, 7303009010), med oprindelse i Indien.
No decision from a competition authority was provided where the complainant was found to engage in anti-competitive behaviour for the product concerned.
Den endelige antidumpingtold fastsættes til følgende af nettoprisen, frit Unionens grænse, ufortoldet, for den i stk. 1 omhandlede vare fremstillet af følgende virksomheder:
No court ruling was provided where the complainant was found to manipulate tenders.
Endelig antidumpingtold
It is recalled that the purpose of imposing anti-dumping measures is to restore a level playing field where Union producers and third country producers compete on fair conditions and not to force exporting producers out of the market.
Taric-tillægskode
Accordingly, under Union rules duties would only be set at a level that would still enable the Indian exporters to continue competing with the Union producers, but at fair prices.
