natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
Inden offentliggørelsen af de midlertidige foranstaltninger fremsendte EBB i marts 2013 produktionsdata til Kommissionen om EU-erhvervsgrenen, både for EBB-medlemmer og ikke-EBB-medlemmer.
CARBIO, Argentinian and Indonesian exporting producers further submitted that the Commission was required to re-examine production capacity and capacity utilization on the basis of ‘positive evidence’.
De fremsendte produktionsdata var opdelt pr. virksomhed, uanset om denne var medlem af EBB eller ej.
Its examination should constitute an ‘objective examination’ of these factors.
Denne bottom-up-tilgang sikrede, at de fremsendte produktionsdata gav et nøjagtigt billede af EU-produktionen.
The Commission addressed this issue under sections 6.1 to 6.4 below.
EBB's medlemmer fremsender produktionsdata til EBB hvert kvartal på en formular, der er udfærdiget af EBB, og denne krydstjekkes derefter imod kilder til markedsinformation.
Questionnaire reply and verification
EBB lægger særlig stor vægt på produktionsdata, eftersom de anvendes til at fastsætte EBB-medlemmernes finansielle bidrag til sammenslutningen.
The Commission sent out a questionnaire to EBB requesting explanations as to (i) which methodology was applied to calculate both production capacity and capacity utilisation of the Union industry during the period considered, and (ii) why in the course of the original investigation this data was revised and on what basis the new figures were produced.
Produktionsdata fra ikke-EBB-medlemmer indsamles gennem direkte kontakt med virksomhederne.
The Commission also asked EBB to explain what their understanding of ‘idle capacity’ was; why in their view it had to be excluded from the total production capacity of the Union industry for the period considered and how the idle capacity was calculated for the non-EBB members.
De fremsendte data krydstjekkes derefter imod andre kilder til markedsinformation, herunder: nationale sammenslutninger, andre producenter og specialiserede publikationer.
The Commission received the questionnaire reply, analysed it and subsequently carried out a verification visit at the premises of EBB on 26 April 2017.
EBB's fremsendte data er derfor de bedste tilgængelige oplysninger om EU-dækkende produktion hos EBB-medlemmer og ikke-EBB-medlemmer, baseret på ensartet indrapportering fra EBB's side af den faktiske produktion for hver af de EU-virksomheder, der producerer biodiesel.
At the request of the Commission, the latter had prepared for the verification visit all supporting documents and worksheets used in preparing their questionnaire reply, in particular those linking the information supplied with management and accounting records for the on the spot verification by the Commission.
Disse data blev anvendt af EBB til at fastslå den samlede EU-produktion, der ligger til grund for dens indlæg.
The Commission verified the supporting documents, cross-checked the reported data for the period considered at their source and was able to reconcile the information in the management and accounting records with the revised data submitted in the original investigation on production capacity and capacity utilization covering the period from 1 January 2009 to the end of the investigation period.
Samlet EU-produktionskapacitet: Præciseringer vedrørende EBB's dataindsamlingsproces angående produktionskapacitet
The documents contain confidential company specific data and cannot be disclosed.
Inden offentliggørelsen af de midlertidige foranstaltninger fremsendte EBB i marts 2013 data om EU-erhvervsgrenens produktionskapacitet til Kommissionen, både for EBB-medlemmerne og for ikke-EBB-medlemmerne.
Gunvor and CARBIO made a submission arguing that the Commission's questionnaire addressed to EBB was not sufficient to meet the requirements under Articles 3.1 and 3.4 of the ADA.
Produktionsdataene var ligeledes opdelt efter virksomhed, både for EBB-medlemmerne og ikke-EB-medlemmerne.
EBB needed to explain how the revised data was supported by public sources and the Commission should not simply accept the information provided by EBB.
EBB-medlemmernes data om produktionskapacitet indrapporteres af medlemmerne to gange om året på en formular fra EBB, og oplysningerne krydstjekkes derefter med kilder til markedsinformation.
Moreover, Gunvor and CARBIO claimed that EBB's replies to the questionnaire had been significantly redacted and as a result, interested parties could not to understand how the data was collected, how it was assessed and how it was verified with other sources, and were therefore not in a position to evaluate whether the relevant information provided by EBB should be given any credit.
For at sikre, at dataene er ensartede, anmoder EBB sine medlemmer om at indberette kapaciteten på grundlag af 330 arbejdsdage pr. år (pr. anlæg) for at tage højde for den uundgåelige vedligeholdelse af anlæg.
Both parties submitted data collected by Eurostat on the production, capacity and consumption of biodiesel in the EU and noted the similarity between this data and that published in the provisional Regulation, which had been collected and provided to the Commission by EBB.
Data om produktionskapacitet fra ikke-EBB-medlemmer indsamles gennem direkte kontakt med virksomheder og ligesom for produktionsdata krydstjekkes dette derefter.
They submitted that the Commission should have used Eurostat data rather than the EBB data adjusted for idle capacity.
Eftersom EBB kun anmoder om et øjebliksbillede af virksomhedens produktionskapacitet på en bestemt dag, og fordi begrebet kapacitet ikke altid forstås på samme måde af alle virksomheder, bør de data, der leveres af EBB vedrørende produktionskapacitet, anses for at være mindre præcise end produktionsdataene.
They further claimed that the definition provided by EBB regarding idle capacity was too vague and that the suggestion to reduce production capacity by excluding ‘idle capacity’ only emerged after the publication of the provisional Regulation, once it became clear that the figures quoted in the provisional Regulation would make it more difficult to validly establish a causal link between the allegedly dumped imports and the injury allegedly suffered by the EU industry.
EBB's fremsendte data er imidlertid de bedste tilgængelige oplysninger om EU-dækkende produktionskapacitet hos EBB-medlemmer og ikke-EBB-medlemmer, baseret på ensartet indrapportering fra EBB's side af den faktiske produktionskapacitet for hver af de EU-virksomheder, der producerer biodiesel.
The Commission rejected these claims as explained under 6.2 to 6.4 below.
Præciseringer vedrørende EBB's identificering af »uudnyttet kapacitet«
It carefully assessed the questionnaire reply, subsequently verified the data during a verification visit at the premises of EBB and found that the submitted and revised data was accurate and reliable and that there was no need to change the revised figures used for the definitive Regulation (see also recitals 53-58).
Efter offentliggørelsen af forordningen om midlertidig told, og som beskrevet i forordningen om endelig told, viste det sig, at de data, der var offentliggjort om produktionskapacitet, ikke på korrekt vis repræsenterede EU-erhvervsgrenens faktiske situation.
In addition, the Commission notes that the data collected by EBB is in line with the Eurostat data, and therefore the later provides independent confirmation of the accuracy and reliability of the EBB data.
Kommissionen anmodede derfor EBB om at præcisere sine data om produktionskapaciteten.
However, as the Eurostat data set was not published until 2014, it could not have been used in the original investigation.
EBB fremsendte opdaterede data til Kommissionen om både dens medlemmer og dens ikke-medlemmer, hvori der blev identificeret en såkaldt »ikke-anvendt« produktionskapacitet eller »uudnyttet kapacitet«, som oprindeligt var blevet indberettet som en del af EU's samlede produktionskapacitet.
Therefore, the revised data used in the definitive Regulation (recital 131) (see table below) were correct and confirmed after the verification visit.
Bestemmelsen af uudnyttet kapacitet foretages af EBB i løbet af dens beregning af produktion og produktionskapacitet på grundlag af data fra de enkelte virksomheder.
Production capacity (tonnes)
På grund af arten af den ovenfor beskrevne dataindsamlingsproces, var det nødvendigt med en gennemgang af de fremsendte data vedrørende ikke-EBB-medlemmer for at sikre, at produktionskapaciteten så nøjagtigt som muligt afspejler EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
Index 2009 = 100
EBB's fremsendte data i perioden mellem forordningerne om henholdsvis midlertidig og endelig told, var de bedste tilgængelige oplysninger om EU-dækkende produktionskapacitet hos EBB-medlemmer og ikke-EBB-medlemmer, baseret på ensartet indrapportering fra EBB's side af den faktiske produktionskapacitet for hver af de EU-virksomheder, der producerer biodiesel.

Bemærkninger fremsat efter fremlæggelsen
Capacity utilisation
Efter fremlæggelsen af Kommissionens konklusioner vedrørende skade fremsatte flere interesserede parter bemærkninger til disse konklusioner.
Total EU Production: Clarifications on EBB data collection process for production
Sammenslutningen af argentinske biodieselproducenter, CARBIO, gentog deres synspunkt fra den fornyede undersøgelse om, at Eurostats aktuelle data for produktion og kapacitet med hensyn til biodiesel burde anvendes i den nuværende analyse af skade og årsagssammenhæng snarere end de data, der blev anvendt i den oprindelige undersøgelse.
In March 2013, before the publication of the provisional measures, EBB provided the Commission with production data for the Union industry, both for EBB and non-EBB members.
Kommissionen afviste påstanden.
The production data reported was given per company, whether they were EBB members or not.
Eurostats data var sammenfaldende med de oprindelige data fra EBB.
This bottom-up approach ensured that the production data provided an accurate picture of EU production.
EBB korrigerede derefter disse oplysninger for bedre at afspejle uudnyttet kapacitet i forbindelse med den oprindelige undersøgelse.
EBB members provide production data to EBB on a quarterly basis on a form sent by EBB and then this is cross-checked against market intelligence sources.
Som nævnt i afsnit 6.4 har Kommissionen gennemgået disse korrektioner i den nuværende fornyede undersøgelse.
A particular emphasis is put by EBB on production data as it is used to determine EBB members' financial contribution to the association.
FREMLÆGGELSE AF OPLYSNINGER
Production data from non-EBB members are collected through direct contacts with the companies.
Alle parter blev informeret om Kommissionens konklusioner, og de fik en frist, inden for hvilken de kunne fremsætte bemærkninger.
The data reported is then cross-verified through other market intelligence sources including: national associations, other producers and specialist publications.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger meddelte den eksporterende producent Molinos de la Plata Kommissionen, at virksomheden eksporterede til Unionen under navnet »Molinos Agro S.A.« og ikke under navnet »Molinos Río de la Plata S.A.« og fremlagde beviser herfor.
The data provided by EBB are thus the best available information on EU wide production for EBB and non-EBB members, based on consistent reporting by EBB of actual production for each of the EU companies producing biodiesel.
Kommissionen har undersøgt de fremlagte beviser og konkluderede, at navneændringen var tilstrækkeligt dokumenteret, og accepterede derfor påstanden.
This data was used by EBB to determine the total Union production on which it based its submissions.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger anmodede den samarbejdsvillige indonesiske eksportør Wilmar om og blev indrømmet en høring.
Total EU Production capacity: Clarifications on EBB data collection process for production capacity
Eksportøren fremførte virksomhedsspecifikke krav vedrørende dumping- og skadesberegningen og anmodede især om, at virksomhedens fortjenstmargen blev reduceret.
In March 2013, before the publication of the provisional measures, EBB provided the Commission with production capacity data for the Union industry, both for EBB and non-EBB members.
Kommissionen afviste disse påstande, eftersom de ikke var relateret til gennemførelsen af WTO-rapporterne om Argentina.
In the same way as the production data, this was given on a company level basis for both EBB and non-EBB members.
Hertil kommer, at de fleste af dem stadig bliver behandlet af WTO i den tvist, som Indonesien indledte.
Production capacity data from EBB members are provided by the members twice per year on a form sent by EBB and then this is cross-checked against market intelligence sources.
Efter den reviderede fremlæggelse insisterede Wilmar på, at dens påstand angående dens fortjenstmargen ved beregningen af den normale værdi ikke er ved at blive behandlet af WTO, men er en sag, der er uafhængig heraf, og påstanden er udelukkende baseret på bestemmelserne i antidumpinggrundforordningen.
To ensure that data are consistent, EBB requests its members to report capacity based on 330 working days per year, per plant to account for the unavoidable maintenance of plants.
Denne påstand burde derfor behandles i forbindelse med denne fornyede undersøgelse.
Production capacity data from non-EBB members are collected through direct contacts with the companies and as with production data this is then cross-verified.
Wilmar hævdede også, at en opretholdelse af foranstaltningerne ikke er i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse og derfor burde ophæves.
Because EBB only requests a ‘snapshot’ of the company's production capacity on a particular day and the concept of capacity is not always understood similarly by all companies, data provided by EBB on production capacity should be considered as being less precise than data on production.
Kommissionen mindede om, at denne fornyede undersøgelse er indledt på grundlag af WTO-bemyndigelsesforordningen med det formål at gennemføre konklusioner og henstillinger fra panelet og appelinstansen i tvisten Den Europæiske Union — antidumpingforanstaltninger over for biodiesel fra Argentina (WT/DS473/15).
However, the data provided by EBB are the best available information on EU wide production capacity for EBB and non-EBB members, based on a consistent reporting by EBB of actual production capacity for each of the EU companies producing biodiesel.
Undersøgelsen er derfor begrænset til spørgsmål angående WTO og eventuelle forbundne og/eller tekniske ændringer, der følger heraf.
Clarifications on EBB identification of ‘idle capacities’
Ingen af Wilmars påstande kan derfor accepteres.
After publication of the provisional Regulation, and as described in the definitive Regulation, it became apparent that the data published for production capacity were not accurately representing the reality of the situation of the Union industry.
Kommissionen mindede desuden om, at en lignende påstand vedrørende fortjenstmargenen var blevet fremsat af Wilmar allerede i den oprindelige undersøgelse og afvist heri (jf. betragtning 43-46 i gennemførelsesforordning (EU) nr. 1194/2013).
The Commission thus requested EBB to clarify its data on production capacity.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger fremsatte den samarbejdsvillige argentinske eksporterende producent COFCO Argentina S.A. (tidligere kendt som Noble Argentina S.A.) en anmodning om, at virksomheden betragtes som en »ny eksportør« og bliver omfattet af listen over virksomheder med individuelle toldsatser som »andre samarbejdsvillige virksomheder«.
EBB provided the Commission with updated data for both its members and the non-members which identified unavailable so-called ‘mothballed’ production capacity, or ‘idle capacity’, that had initially been reported as part of the total EU production capacity.
Kommissionen underrettede virksomheden om, at den bør følge proceduren for nye eksporterende producenter, som anført i artikel 3 forordningen om endelig told.
Determination of idle capacity is made by EBB in the course of its calculation of production and production capacity from data submitted by the individual companies.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger anmodede EBB om en høring med høringskonsulenten med den begrundelse, at Kommissionens holdning ikke var blevet fastsat på grundlag af en objektiv retlig begrundelse, men ud fra politisk interesse.
Due to the nature of the data collection process described above, a review of the data provided regarding non-EBB members was necessary to ensure that production capacity data reflect as accurately as possible the reality of the EU industry.
I høringen den 20. juli 2017 fandt høringskonsulenten ikke, at EBB's ret til forsvar som en interesseret part var blevet tilsidesat.
The data provided by EBB between the provisional and the definitive Regulations were the best available information on EU wide production capacity for EBB and non-EBB members based on a consistent reporting by EBB of actual production capacity for each of the EU companies producing biodiesel.
Høringskonsulenten opfordrede dog Kommissionen til at underbygge sine synspunkter angående, hvorfor den ikke kunne anse de argentinske sojabønnepriser som upålidelige.
Comments following disclosure
Kommissionen medtog dette punkt i sin vurdering af de modtagne bemærkninger efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger, som beskrevet i betragtning 60-63.
Following disclosure of the Commission's findings on injury several interested parties made comments on these findings.
ENDELIGE FORANSTALTNINGER
The association of Argentine biodiesel producers, CARBIO, reiterated its view made during the review investigation that current Eurostat data on production and capacity of biodiesel should be used in the current analysis of injury and causation, rather than the data used in the original investigation.
Antidumpingtold
Accordingly, the original Eurostat data do not reflect the most accurate picture on production and biodiesel which had been specifically verified and used by the Commission in this case.
Artikel 1, stk. 2, i forordningen om endelig told bør derfor ændres.
CARBIO also stated that the Commission should further define ‘idle capacity’.
Det ved artikel 15, stk. 1, i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) 2016/1036 [12] nedsatte udvalg afgav ikke udtalelse —
The Commission reiterated that it had defined idle capacity in recitals 131-132 of the definitive Regulation.
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
As the WTO reports did not take issue with the Commission's concept of ‘idle capacity’, there was no reason to change it for this review.
Artikel 1
DISCLOSURE
Tabellen, der anfører satserne for den endelige antidumpingtold, der pålægges nettoprisen, frit Unionens grænse, ufortoldet for varer fremstillet af virksomhederne anført i artikel 1, stk. 2, i gennemførelsesforordning (EU) nr. 1194/2013, erstattes af følgende tabel:
All parties were informed of the Commission's findings and were granted a period within which they could submit comments.
Toldsats
Following disclosure the exporting producer Molinos de la Plata informed the Commission that it exported to the Union under the name ‘Molinos Agro S.A.’ rather than under the name ‘Molinos Río de la Plata S.A.’ and provided evidence.
EUR pr. ton netto
The Commission scrutinized the evidence submitted and concluded that the name change was sufficiently substantiated and hence accepted the claim.
Taric-tillægskode
Following disclosure the cooperating Indonesian exporter Wilmar requested and was granted a hearing.
Andre samarbejdsvillige virksomheder:
It made company-specific claims regarding dumping and injury calculations and especially requested its profit margin to be lowered.
Indonesien
The Commission rejected these claims as they were not related to the implementation of the WTO report on Argentina.
Artikel 2
Moreover, most of them are currently pending before the WTO in the dispute brought by Indonesia.
Denne forordning træder i kraft dagen efter offentliggørelsen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
Following the revised disclosure, Wilmar insisted that its claim with regard to its profit margin for constructing the normal value is not pending before the WTO but is an issue independent thereof and the claim is based solely on the provisions of the basic anti-dumping regulation.
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i hver medlemsstat.
This claim should therefore be addressed in this review.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 18. september 2017.
Wilmar also claimed that the maintenance of the measures is not in the Union interest and should therefore be terminated.
På Kommissionens vegne
The Commission recalled that this review is initiated on the basis of the WTO enabling Regulation for the purpose of implementing the findings and recommendations of the Panel and Appellate Body in the dispute European Union — Anti-Dumping Measures on Biodiesel from Argentina (WT/DS473/15).
Jean-Claude Juncker
The review is thus limited to issues before the WTO and possible consequential and/or technical changes arising therefrom.
EUT L 83 af 27.3.2015, s. 6.
Therefore, neither of Wilmar's claims are admissible.
Rådets gennemførelsesforordning (EU) nr. 1194/2013 af 19. november 2013 om indførelse af en endelig antidumpingtold og endelig opkrævning af den midlertidige told på importen af biodiesel med oprindelse i Argentina og Indonesien (EUT L 315 af 26.11.2013, s. 2).
In addition, the Commission recalled that a similar claim regarding the profit margin was made by Wilmar already in the original investigation and rejected therein (see recitals 43 to 46 of the definitive Regulation).
WT/DS473/AB/R og WT/DS473/AB/R/Add.1.
Following disclosure the cooperating Argentine exporting producer COFCO Argentina S.A. (formerly known as Noble Argentina S.A.) submitted a request that the company be treated as a ‘newcomer’ and be included in the list of companies with individual duty rates as ‘other cooperating companies’.
WT/DS473/R og WT/DS473/R/Add.1.
The Commission informed the company that it should follow the procedure for new exporting producers as set out in Article 3 of the definitive Regulation.
EUT C 476 af 20.12.2016, s. 3.
Following disclosure EBB requested a hearing with the Hearing Officer on the grounds that the Commission's position had not been determined on the basis of objective legal reasoning, but on the basis of political interest.

In the hearing of 20 July 2017, the Hearing Officer did not find that the rights of defence of EBB as an interested party had been infringed.

At the same time, he called upon the Commission to substantiate its views why it could not disregard the Argentinian soybean prices as unreliable.

On the basis of the above reassessment, the Commission concluded that the injurious dumping determined in the original investigation is confirmed.
