Ved beregningen af den told, som er nødvendig for at afhjælpe virkningerne af den skadevoldende subsidiering, blev det fastslået, at enhver foranstaltning bør give EU-erhvervsgrenen mulighed for at dække sine produktionsomkostninger og opnå en fortjeneste før skat på salget af samme vare i Unionen, som det med rimelighed kan forventes for en erhvervsgren af denne type i sektoren under normale konkurrencevilkår, dvs. en situation uden subsidieret import.
The subsidised imports from India undercut the Union industry prices by 30,9 % and 31,7 % during the investigation period.
Derfor blev niveauet for skadestærsklen beregnet på grundlag af en sammenligning af den vejede gennemsnitlige pris på den subsidierede import, som fastsat i forbindelse med prisunderbudsberegningerne i betragtning 301, og den ikke-skadevoldende pris for EU-erhvervsgrenen for samme vare.
This resulted in a very low profitability of the EU industry.
Den ikke-skadevoldende pris blev fastsat ved, at en rimelig fortjenstmargen blev lagt til produktionsomkostningerne.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the subsidised imports.
Målfortjenstmargenen blev fastsat til 5 % som anført i betragtning 327.
The economic crisis and decrease in demand contributed to the injury at the beginning of the period considered.
Forskellen som følge af denne sammenligning blev dernæst udtrykt som en procentdel af den gennemsnitlige samlede cif-importpris.
However, in the absence of significant undercutting of the Union industry by subsidised imports, the situation of the Union industry would not have been affected to such an extent.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger hævdede Jindal, at den ikke-skadevoldende pris burde nedjusteres på grund af strukturel overkapacitet og ineffektivitet i EU-erhvervsgrenen, snarere end at SG&A-omkostninger og fortjeneste skulle lægges til produktionsomkostningerne, med henblik på at fastsætte en ikke-skadevoldende pris for EU-erhvervsgrenen.
In particular, the sales would not fall so much, the capacity utilisation would be higher and the profitability would be more sustainable.
Som nævnt i betragtning 351 mente Kommissionen ikke, at der var nogen strukturel overkapacitet, og afviste derfor denne påstand.
Therefore, the fall in consumption was found not to break the casual link between the subsidised imports and the material injury.
Efter fremlæggelsen 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.
The other identified factors such as imports from third countries, export performance of the Union industry and the competition from substitute products were not found to break the causal link established above, even considering their possible combined effect.
Skadesmargenerne er derfor kunstigt høje.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the subsidised imports from India and that the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not break the causal link.
Formålet med at beregne en skadesmargen er at fastslå, hvorvidt det ville være tilstrækkeligt, at der for eksportprisen for den subsidierede import skal gælde en lavere toldsats end den, der er baseret på subsidiemargenen, for at afhjælpe den skade, som den subsidierede import har forvoldt.
The injury consisted mainly in the fall in the Union sales, the loss of market share by the Union industry, low capacity utilisation rate and low profitability.
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.
UNION INTEREST
Ved salg gennem forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører beregnes eksportprisen, på samme måde som dumpingmargenen, på grundlag af prisen ved videresalg til den første uafhængige kunde.
In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the imposition of countervailing measures would be against the Union interest.
Ellers ville der komme to forskellige resultater ud af vurderingen af samme skadesmargen ved hjælp af de to instrumenter.
It gave special consideration to the need to eliminate the trade distorting effects of injurious subsidisation and to restore effective competition.
Kommissionen mente derfor, at den anvendte metodologi giver et præcist grundlag for at sammenligne priser og således fastsætte skadestærsklen.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, distributors and final users, such as water, sewerage and irrigation utilities.
Kravet afvises derfor, og metodologien til bestemmelse af niveauet for skadestærsklen bekræftes.
Interest of the Union industry
Endelige foranstaltninger
The Union industry's production plants are located in France, Germany, Spain and Austria.
I betragtning af resultaterne ovenfor bør der indføres en endelig udligningstold på et niveau, der er tilstrækkeligt til at afhjælpe den skade, der er forårsaget af den subsidierede import, uden at overskride den konstaterede subsidiemargen.
The Union industry employed directly more than 2400 employees in the production and sales of the product concerned.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger anmodede EU-erhvervsgrenen om indførelse af foranstaltninger i form af en specifik told snarere end en værditold.
Two out of three producers cooperated with the investigation.
Der mindes om, at der blev indført en antidumpingtold i form af en værditold i den indledende fase.
The non-cooperating producer did not oppose the initiation of the investigation.
Værditold er faktisk den sædvanligvis foretrukne form for foranstaltninger, da den gør foranstaltningerne mere effektive i tilfælde af ændringer i eksportprisen.
As demonstrated above, the two cooperating companies experienced material injury and were negatively affected by the subsidised imports.
EU-erhvervsgrenen anmodede om indførelse af foranstaltninger i form af en specifik told af tre primære årsager:
It is expected that the imposition of countervailing duties will restore fair trade conditions on the Union market and will enable the Union producers to increase their sales and increase the low capacity utilisation rate.
De indiske eksportpriser på duktile jernrør har fulgt en nedadgående kurve, der er blevet forværret efter indførelsen af den midlertidige antidumpingtold.
This would result in an improvement of the Union industry's profitability towards levels considered necessary for this capital intensive industry and prevent the loss of employment.
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.
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration of the Union industry's economic situation appears very likely.
Priserne på duktile jernrør kan svinge i takt med svingninger i priserne på råmaterialer.
It is therefore concluded that the imposition of countervailing duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.
For så vidt angår erhvervsgrenens første og anden begrundelse, som i nogen grad hænger sammen, har ethvert fald i de indiske eksportpriser efter undersøgelsesperioden ikke nødvendigvis ført til øget subsidiering.
Interest of unrelated importers, distributors, users and other interested parties
Spørgsmålet om, i hvilken grad en værditold ikke ville være effektiv med henblik på at udligne niveauet af subsidiering efter undersøgelsesperioden, bør, hvis det er relevant, være genstand for en anmodning om en fornyet undersøgelse fra EU-erhvervsgrenens side, jf. grundforordningens artikel 19.
Many distributors came forward and expressed their views.
Med hensyn til det tredje punkt anerkendte erhvervsgrenen selv, at priserne på den vigtigste råvare til fremstilling af duktile støbejernsrør, jernmalm, er faldet siden 2014.
Both exporting producers claimed that it would not be in the Union interest to impose countervailing 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.
Faldet i priserne på jernmalm har ganske rigtigt sandsynligvis været en medvirkende årsag til faldet i priserne på duktile støbejernsrør siden slutningen af undersøgelsesperioden.
The investigation has demonstrated that imports into the Union from the complainant's related Chinese facilities were insignificant during the investigation period.
Imidlertid fører et sådant fald i priserne ikke nødvendigvis til øget subsidiering.
There are also no indications that the complainant would in the future use those Chinese production facilities to replace Indian imports should measures be imposed.
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.
As indicated in the provisional anti-dumping Regulation, the Commission sent a supplementary information request to analyse more in-depth the impact of measures on the Union users.
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.
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.
Desuden egner en fast told sig mere til ensartede varer, og ikke til varer som denne, der findes som forskellige produkttyper.
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.
Tilbud om tilsagn
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.
Under høringen med høringskonsulenten (se betragtning 5) og efterfølgende skriftligt afgav ECL et tilsagn med henblik på at nyde godt af den lavere FPS-sats på 2 %, men automatisk acceptere en højere told uden fornyet undersøgelse, hvis satsen på 5 % blev genindført.
One user provided two price quotes demonstrating in its view that SG PAM had increased its prices by around 25 % in December 2015.
I henhold til grundforordningens artikel 13 består et tilbud om tilsagn i enten en erklæring fra oprindelseslandet om, at det indvilliger i at ophæve eller begrænse subsidierne eller træffe andre foranstaltninger vedrørende virkningerne heraf, eller en erklæring fra eksportøren om, at han indvilliger i at ændre sine priser.
Some users also alleged that SG PAM had used its strong position to manipulate tenders in favour of their products.
Eksportørens afgav ikke noget pristilsagn.
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.
Under alle omstændigheder er et tilsagn en lignende form for foranstaltning, der fastsættes på grundlag af resultaterne af undersøgelsen.
The competition authorities proceed first by examining the relevant product and geographic market.
Kommissionen afviste derfor tilbuddet om tilsagn.
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 [78].
Desuden kan importørerne også anmode om refusion af det nøjagtige beløb, der er tildelt via denne ordning.
In the present case, the Commission was unable to define the relevant product and geographic market absent any formal competition complaint brought before it.
Udligningstoldsatserne blev således fastlagt ved at sammenligne skadesmargenerne og subsidiemargenerne.
Exclusive distribution agreements offering more advantageous conditions or even stricter vertical restraints in the distribution of goods are not illegal per se [79] and it is ultimately up to a competition authority to conduct an assessment if such restraints are anti-competitive or even abusive.
Udligningstoldsatserne bør derfor være som følger:
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.
Subsidiemargener
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.
Skadestærskler
In anti-subsidy proceedings the Commission examines competition concerns to establish whether, on balance, it would be clearly against the Union interest to impose countervailing measures.
Udligningstoldsats
Such an analysis cannot encompass a competition assessment in the strict legal sense, which can only be carried out by a competent competition authority.
Alle andre virksomheder
In any case, no robust evidence was provided that would suggest that the complainant would engage in anti-competitive behaviour should countervailing measures be imposed other than the fact that it has a strong position already on the market.
De udligningstoldsatser for individuelle virksomheder, der er anført i denne forordning, er fastsat på grundlag af resultaterne af denne undersøgelse.
No decision from a competition authority was provided where the complainant was found to engage in anti-competitive behaviour for the product concerned.
De afspejler derfor den situation, der i forbindelse med undersøgelsen blev konstateret for disse virksomheder.
No court ruling was provided where the complainant was found to manipulate tenders.
Disse toldsatser finder (i modsætning til den landsdækkende told for »alle andre virksomheder«) udelukkende anvendelse på importen af varer med oprindelse i Indien, der er fremstillet af de nævnte specifikke retlige enheder.
It is recalled that the purpose of imposing countervailing 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.
Importerede varer, der 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, kan ikke nyde godt af disse satser, men er omfattet af den toldsats, der anvendes for så vist angår »alle andre virksomheder«.
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.
Enhver anmodning om anvendelse af udligningstoldsatser for individuelle virksomheder (dvs. efter ændring af enhedens navn eller efter etablering af nye produktions- eller salgsenheder) bør rettes til Kommissionen [80] med alle relevante oplysninger, navnlig om enhver ændring i virksomhedens aktiviteter i forbindelse med produktion, salg på hjemmemarkedet eller eksportsalg i forbindelse med — for eksempel — den pågældende navneændring eller den pågældende ændring af produktions- eller salgsenhederne.
Indeed, the combined anti-dumping and countervailing measures are set at the dumping and subsidisation level below the level of undercutting.
Hvis det er relevant, vil nærværende forordning blive ændret gennem opdatering af listen over virksomheder, der nyder fordel af individuelle toldsatser.
Moreover, there are several producers located in third countries (China, Turkey, Russia, and Switzerland) who are already selling to the Union market.
Med henblik på at minimere risikoen for omgåelse, anses der i dette tilfælde at være behov for særlige foranstaltninger for at sikre en korrekt anvendelse af udligningsforanstaltningerne.
Their sales volumes during the period considered were low and declining.
Disse særlige foranstaltninger omfatter følgende: fremlæggelse for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder af en gyldig handelsfaktura, der overholder kravene i nærværende forordnings artikel 1, stk. 3.
However, one of the causes of such a decline in other importers sales appears to have been an aggressive competition from the Indian producers.
Importerede varer, der ikke er ledsaget af en sådan faktura, er omfattet af den told, der anvendes for så vidt angår alle andre virksomheder.
The Indian subsidised prices were well below the prices of all other major importing countries (with the exception of Russia).
Med henblik på at sikre ordentlig håndhævelse af antisubsidietolden bør resttoldsatsen ikke kun finde anvendelse for de ikke-samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producenter, men også for producenter, der ikke eksporterede til Unionen i UP.
The users confirmed that in case the Union industry unilaterally increases prices, the imports from other countries may increase rather in the medium term, once such exporters from third-countries will have received additional certifications required by the Member States.
Det udvalg, der er nedsat ved artikel 15, stk. 1, i forordning (EU) nr. 1225/2009, har ikke afgivet udtalelse —
The users also confirmed that the Swiss company, although it is present on the Union market, manufactures more sophisticated, high-value added pipes that are not readily substitutable with the Indian products.

Conclusion on Union interest
Taric-tillægskode
The Commission was therefore satisfied that in the weighing and balancing of interests, the protection of the Union industry against injurious subsidisation must be given priority over the interests of users to avoid potential negative effects on competition on the Union market.
Anvendelsen af de individuelle udligningstoldsatser, der er fastsat for de i stk. 2 nævnte virksomheder, er betinget af, at der forelægges en gyldig handelsfaktura for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder; handelsfakturaen skal indeholde en erklæring, der er dateret og underskrevet af en af de ansatte i den enhed, der har udstedt handelsfakturaen, med angivelse af den pågældendes navn og funktion og med følgende ordlyd: »Undertegnede bekræfter, at de (mængde) rør af duktilt støbejern (også kendt som kuglegrafitstøbejern), der er solgt til eksport til Den Europæiske Union, og som er omfattet af denne faktura, er fremstillet af (virksomhedens navn og adresse) (Taric-tillægskode) i Indien.
While there is a fear that countervailing duties may reinforce an already strong position of the leading Union producer, a number of mitigating factors, such as continuing competition from Indian, other exporters and substitute products, ensures that a sufficient competitive pressure is maintained on the Union industry to avoid potential negative effects on competition on the Union market.
Jeg erklærer, at oplysningerne i denne faktura er fuldstændige og korrekte.« Hvis der ikke forelægges en sådan faktura, anvendes toldsatsen for »alle andre virksomheder«.
Finally, the Commission is ready to monitor the effect of its measures on competition on the Union market.
Gældende bestemmelser vedrørende told finder anvendelse, medmindre andet er fastsat.
DEFINITIVE COUNTERVAILING MEASURES
Artikel 2
On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on subsidisation, injury, causation and Union interest, and in accordance with Article 15(1) of the basic Regulation, a definitive countervailing duty should be imposed on imports of tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron (also known as spheroidal graphite cast iron) originating in India.
Denne forordning træder i kraft dagen efter offentliggørelsen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
Injury elimination level
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i medlemsstaterne i overensstemmelse med traktaterne.
For the purpose of determining the level of these measures, account was taken of the subsidy margins found and the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 17. marts 2016.
When calculating the amount of duty necessary to remove the effects of the injurious subsidisation, it was considered that any measure should allow the Union industry to cover its costs of production and obtain a profit before tax that could be reasonably achieved by an industry of this type in the sector under normal conditions of competition, i.e. in the absence of subsidised imports, on sales of the like product in the Union.
På Kommissionens vegne
Therefore, the injury elimination level was calculated on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average price of the subsidised imports, as established for the price undercutting calculations in recital 301 above, and the non-injurious price of the Union industry for the like product.
Jean-Claude Juncker
The non-injurious price was established by adding to the cost of production a reasonable profit level.
EUT L 188 af 18.7.2009, s. 93.
The target profit margin was set at 5 % as stated in recital 327.
EUT C 83 af 11.3.2015, s. 4.
Any difference resulting from this comparison was then expressed as a percentage of the average total CIF import price.
EUT C 461 af 20.12.2014, s. 35.
Following disclosure Jindal claimed that rather than adding SG&A and profit to the cost of production to establish a non-injurious price for the Union industry, the non-injurious price should be adjusted downwards due to structural overcapacity and inefficiencies of the Union industry.
Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1225/2009 af 30. november 2009 om beskyttelse mod dumpingimport fra lande, der ikke er medlemmer af Det Europæiske Fællesskab (EUT L 343 af 22.12.2009, s. 51).
The Commission did not consider that there was a structural overcapacity as mentioned in recital 351 and therefore rejected this claim.
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2015/1559 af 18. september 2015 om indførelse af en midlertidig antidumpingtold på importen af rør af duktilt støbejern (også kendt som kuglegrafitstøbejern) med oprindelse i Indien (EUT L 244 af 19.9.2015, s. 25).
Following disclosure both exporting producers claimed that the methodology used for calculating the injury elimination level was flawed as the comparison with Union sales prices is not based on the actual price charged to the first independent customer in the Union but on a constructed export price which is artificially low.
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2016/388 af 17. marts 2016 om indførelse af en endelig antidumpingtold på importen af rør af duktilt støbejern (også kendt som kuglegrafitstøbejern) med oprindelse i Indien (se side 53 i denne EUT).
The injury margins are therefore artificially high.
