natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
I den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode blev produktionen af wolframcarbid i Kina anslået til omkring 30000 ton og produktionskapaciteten til mellem 42000 og 50000 ton, og den overskydende kapacitet er derfor mellem 12000 og 20000 ton.
Furthermore, as stated in recital (21) none of the Chinese exporting producers submitted a reply to the questionnaire and the Commission was therefore not able to ascertain the type of products manufactured by the Chinese exporting producers and any impact on cost and prices.
Den anslåede uudnyttede kapacitet udgjorde således mellem 94 % og 156 % af EU-forbruget (jf. betragtning 107) i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
Development of imports should measures be repealed
Oplagring af råstoffer og eksportafgiften på wolframkoncentrat
In order to establish the likelihood of recurrence of dumping should measures be repealed, the following elements were analysed: (i) production, production capacity and spare capacity in China, (ii) stockpiling of raw materials and export tax on tungsten concentrate and (iii) Chinese exports and attractiveness of the Union market, (iv) development of consumption in China and its other main export markets.
Desuden kontrollerer Kina 60 % af verdens reserver af wolframmalm og opkræver samtidig en eksportafgift på 20 % på wolframkoncentrat [14].
Production, production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC
Kinesisk eksport og EU-markedets tiltrækningskraft
In the absence of cooperation from the Chinese exporting producers, production, production capacity and spare capacity in China were established on basis of facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation and on the basis of the following sources: (i) information collected during the sampling exercise of the exporting producers, (ii) information provided in the request for review (based on the market intelligence of the applicant), and (iii) publicly available information, i.e. the Metal Bulletin, specialised on market information concerning global steel, non-ferrous and scrap metals markets.
De vigtigste kendte kinesiske eksporterende producenter eksporterede ca. 20 % af deres produktion af den undersøgte vare, og andelen af eksport til Unionen og til andre tredjelande (Japan, Republikken Korea, USA osv.) var på ca. 1:3.
The estimated spare capacity represented thus between 94 % and 156 % of the Union consumption (as established in recital (107)) during the RIP.
Desuden steg andelen af den kinesiske eksport af den undersøgte vare til andre tredjelande med 10 % i den betragtede periode.
Stockpiling of raw materials and export tax on tungsten concentrate
Til trods for de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger var Kina fortsat det land, der eksporterede mest wolframcarbid til Unionen.
On the basis of publicly available information [13], the Commission found that during and after the RIP, China held a stockpile of raw materials (i.e. APT and tungsten concentrates), from which more than 25000 tons of tungsten carbide could be produced and therefore create a substantial volume available in short term.
Importen af den undersøgte vare fra Kina var i undersøgelsesperioden over fem gange så stor som importen i 2012 (eller 406 %), svarende til en stigning på 6,9 procentpoint udtrykt i Unionens markedsandel (jf. betragtning 109 — fra 2,0 % i 2012 til 8,9 % i NUP).
The investigation did not reveal any indication of an increase of the worldwide demand to produce tungsten carbide from these raw materials.
Dette viser den fortsatte kinesiske interesse i EU-markedet.
In addition, the PRC controls 60 % of the world's tungsten ore reserves and, at the same time, levies an export tax of 20 % on tungsten concentrate [14].
Efter Japan er EU Kinas næststørste eksportmarked for wolframcarbid.
Chinese exports and attractiveness of the Union market
For at vurdere EU-markedets tiltrækningskraft hvad angår priser blev de kinesiske priser ved eksport til Unionen sammenlignet med de kinesiske hjemmemarkedspriser og kinesiske eksportpriser til andre tredjelande.
Chinese export volumes and attractiveness of the Union market were established on basis of facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the following sources: (i) the Chinese Export Statistics Database, (ii) the information from Eurostat revised with the data received from users that imported tungsten carbide from China as described in recital (106), (iii) the information collected during the sampling exercise of the exporting producers, (iv) the information on Chinese spot market prices collected during the investigation and (v) a Chinese price offer to Japan collected during the investigation.
De gennemsnitlige kinesiske priser på hjemmemarkedet i NUP var op til 19 % lavere end de kinesiske priser ved eksport til Unionen.
The main known Chinese exporting producers exported around 20 % of their production of the product under review and the ratio of exports to the Union and to the other third countries (Japan, the Republic of Korea, the USA, etc.) was around 1:3.
De kinesiske eksportpriser for salg til andre tredjelandsmarkeder i NUP var op til 25 % lavere end de kinesiske priser ved eksport til Unionen.
Furthermore, Chinese exports of the product under review to the other third countries increased by 10 % during the period considered.
Det forhold, at de kinesiske eksportpriser for den undersøgte vare til EU-markedet i NUP var højere end de kinesiske hjemmemarkedspriser og deres eksportpriser til andre tredjelandsmarkeder, er en stærk indikation af, at EU-markedet er attraktivt for de kinesiske eksporterende producenter.
Despite the anti-dumping measures in force, China continued to be the largest tungsten carbide exporting country to the Union.
Det skal desuden bemærkes, at selv uden antidumpingforanstaltninger i andre tredjelande er Unionen fortsat Kinas næststørste eksportmarked (efter Japan) for wolframcarbid, som nævnt ovenfor i betragtning 84.
Indeed, imports of the product under review from China in the RIP were more than five times the imports in 2012 (or 406 %), representing an increase of 6,9 percentage points in terms of Union's market share (as established in recital (109), from 2,0 % in 2012 to 8,9 % in RIP).
I deres bemærkninger efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger erklærede flere brugere sig enige i, at der altid vil være efterspørgsel efter den kinesiske vare på EU-markedet.
This shows the continued Chinese interest in the Union market.
Flere interesserede parter påstod, at EU-markedets tiltrækning på de kinesiske producenter var forholdsvis lav.
The Union is the second largest tungsten carbide export market for China after Japan.
Parterne hævdede, at dette bekræftes af den omstændighed, at de kinesiske eksporterende producenter i de seneste ti år ikke tyede til omgåelse eller overvæltningsmetoder, ikke i væsentlig grad øgede deres eksport til eller markedsandele på EU-markedet, og ikke reducerede deres eksportpriser til Unionen.
To assess the attractiveness of the Union market in terms of prices, Chinese export prices to the Union were compared to Chinese domestic prices and Chinese export prices to other third countries.
Selv om omgåelse eller overvæltningspraksis er gyldige indikatorer, der viser, hvorvidt visse eksporterende producenter kan have interesse i et bestemt marked på trods af gældende foranstaltninger, er de ikke altafgørende, når det skal fastslås om dette marked er attraktivt for import fra tredjelande.
The average Chinese domestic prices in the RIP were up to 19 % lower than Chinese export prices to the Union.
Parternes øvrige påstande kunne ikke bekræftes af resultaterne af undersøgelsen, der — som forklaret i betragtning 109 og 114 — fastslog en stigning i markedsandelen for kinesiske eksporterende producenter og et fald i deres eksportpriser til Unionen i løbet af den betragtede periode.
The Chinese export prices charged to other third markets in the RIP were up to 25 % lower than Chinese export prices to the Union.
En række interesserede parter fremførte, at der ikke er nogen antidumpingtold på wolframcarbid på andre markeder, og hvis foranstaltningerne fik lov at udløbe, er det derfor usandsynligt, at en del af denne uudnyttede kapacitet ville blive anvendt til at øge eksporten til Unionen.
The fact that during the RIP the Chinese export prices of the product under review to the Union market have been higher than the Chinese domestic prices and their export prices to other third markets is a strong indication that the Union market is attractive for Chinese exporting producers.
For det første kunne de kinesiske eksporterende producenter allerede eksportere til disse andre tredjelande uden antidumpingtold.
In addition it should be noted that even in the absence of anti-dumping duties in other third countries the Union is still the second largest tungsten carbide export market for China after Japan, as stated above in recital (84).
For det andet, som anført i betragtning 107, steg forbruget på EU-markedet med 15 % i den betragtede periode.
Moreover, in their post-disclosure submission several users agreed that the Chinese product will always be demanded on the Union market.
For det tredje, som forklaret i betragtning 111-112, foregik størstedelen af importen fra Kina under IPP (uden afgifter), og den mængde steg med 477 % i den betragtede periode.
Several interested parties claimed that the level of attractiveness of the Union market for Chinese producers is rather low.
Hvis antidumpingtolden ophæves, vil den kinesiske eksport til Unionen derfor sandsynligvis stige.
These parties claimed that this is corroborated by the fact that for the last 10 years Chinese exporting producers did not resort to any circumvention or absorption methods, that Chinese exporting producers did not significantly increase their exports or market shares in the Union market or did not decrease their export prices to the Union.
Påstanden blev afvist.
Although circumvention or absorption practices are valid indicators showing whether certain exporting producers may have an interest in a specific market despite measures in force, they are as such not indispensable when establishing the attractiveness of such market to third country imports.
Udviklingen i forbruget i Kina og landets andre vigtige eksportmarkeder
The other allegations made by these parties could not be confirmed by the findings of this investigation which, as explained in the recital (109) and (114) below, established an increase in the market share of Chinese exporting producers and the decrease of their export prices to the Union during the period considered.
Med hensyn til den sandsynlige udvikling af det indenlandske forbrug i Kina fremkom der ikke oplysninger i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, som kunne tyde på en væsentlig stigning i det indenlandske forbrug i Kina i den nærmeste fremtid.
Several interested parties claimed that there are no anti-dumping duties on tungsten carbide in any other markets, hence should the measures lapse it is unlikely that a part of this spare capacity will be used to increase exports to the Union.
Efter stigningen i den kinesiske eksport af wolframcarbid til EU (406 %) og andre tredjelande (10 %) (som forklaret i betragtning 83 og 84) konkluderede Kommissionen, at den indenlandske efterspørgsel i Kina ikke kan absorbere den uudnyttede kapacitet.
First, Chinese exporting producers could already export to these other third countries without anti-dumping duties.
Med hensyn til den sandsynlige udvikling i forbruget på andre store kinesiske eksportmarkeder (Japan, Republikken Korea og USA), fremkom der ikke i forbindelse med undersøgelsen oplysninger, der kunne tyde på en væsentlig stigning i den indenlandske efterspørgsel på disse markeder.
Second, as noted below in the recital (107) the consumption in the Union market increased by 15 % during the period considered.
Stigningen i den kinesiske eksportmængde til disse lande var på 8 % i den betragtede periode, hvorimod den kinesiske eksportmængde til USA faldt med 35 % i samme periode.
Third, as explained below in the recitals (111)-(112), the majority of imports from the PRC are made under IPP (without the duties), which increased by 477 % during the period considered.
Under hensyntagen til at Kina er verdens største producent af wolfram (jf. betragtning 192), og selv om der ikke foreligger oplysninger om den indenlandske produktion og import fra disse lande, konkluderede Kommissionen, at disse markeder ikke i betydelig grad kan absorbere den uudnyttede kapacitet i Kina.
Therefore, should the antidumping duties be lifted, the Chinese exports to the EU would likely increase.
Konklusion
The argument was rejected.
Konklusionen er, at den dumpingmargen, der blev fastsat i NUP, den betydelige uudnyttede kapacitet i Kina og EU-markedets tiltrækningskraft tyder på, at en ophævelse af foranstaltningerne sandsynligvis vil føre til fortsat eller fornyet dumping, og at dumpingimporten vil indføres på EU-markedet i betydelige mængder.
Development of consumption in China and its other main export markets
Det konkluderes derfor, at der er sandsynlighed for fortsat dumping, hvis de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger får lov at udløbe.
Regarding the likely evolution of domestic consumption in China, the investigation did not bring into light any elements that could indicate any significant increase of domestic demand in China in the near future.
SANDSYNLIGHEDEN FOR FORTSAT ELLER FORNYET SKADE
Following the increase of Chinese exports of tungsten carbide to the Union (406 %) and other third countries (10 %) (as explained above in recitals (83) and (84)), the Commission concluded that domestic demand in China could not absorb the available spare capacity.
Definition af EU-erhvervsgren og EU-produktion
Regarding the likely evolution of consumption in other main Chinese export markets (Japan, Republic of Korea and the USA), the investigation did not bring into light any elements that could indicate any significant increase of domestic demand in these markets.
I Unionen fremstilles samme vare af ni virksomheder eller grupper af virksomheder, hvoraf seks virksomheder fremstiller og sælger på det frie marked, og de resterende tre selskaber fremstiller primært wolframcarbid til anvendelse i varer i de senere produktionsled (»bunden anvendelse«).
The increase of Chinese export volume to these countries was 8 % during the period considered, however, Chinese export volumes to the USA decreased by 35 % during the same period.
De anses for at udgøre EU-erhvervsgrenen som defineret i grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 1.
Taking into account the fact that China is the main producer of tungsten in the world (as explained below in recital (192)) and even if the domestic production and import data from these countries is not known, the Commission concluded that these markets could not absorb significant level of the available spare capacity existing in China.
En af brugerne understregede, at en af EU-producenterne anvender en anden KN-kode (81011000), som ikke er omfattet af den nuværende undersøgelse, når producenten sælger sine produkter i Unionen.
Conclusion
Brugeren mente derfor, at denne EU-producent ikke burde være en del af EU-erhvervsgrenen, som defineret i betragtning 97.
In conclusion, the dumping margin established in the RIP, the significant spare capacity available in China, and the established attractiveness of the Union market, indicate that a repeal of the measures would likely result in a continuation of dumping, and that dumped exports will enter the Union market in significant quantities.
De KN-koder, der anvendes ved salg af varer inden for Unionen, er irrelevante for definitionen af den pågældende vare og for definitionen af EU-erhvervsgrenen.
It is therefore considered that there is a likelihood of continuation of dumping should the current anti-dumping measures be allowed to lapse.
Det afgørende er, om den vare, der fremstilles af EU-producenterne, falder ind under definitionen af den undersøgte vare, som anført i betragtning 31.
LIKELIHOOD OF A CONTINUATION OR RECURRENCE OF INJURY
Undersøgelsen viste, at den vare, der fremstilles af nævnte EU-producent, netop henhører under denne definition.
Definition of the Union industry and Union production
Denne EU-producent er derfor en del af EU-erhvervsgrenen, som defineret i betragtning 97.
Within the Union, the like product is manufactured by nine companies or groups of companies, out of which six companies are producing and selling on the free market and the remaining three companies are producing tungsten carbide mainly as an input for downstream products (‘captive use’).
EU-forbruget
They are deemed to constitute the ‘Union industry’ within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Som nævnt i betragtning 97, fremstiller nogle af EU-producenterne hovedsagelig den undersøgte vare til bunden anvendelse som det primære råstof i fremstillingen af forskellige varer i efterfølgende produktionsled, og derfor blev forbruget på det bundne og det frie marked analyseret separat.
One user highlighted the fact that one of the Union producers is using a different CN code (81011000) which is not covered by the current investigation, when selling its products in the Union.
Sondringen mellem det bundne og det frie marked er relevant for skadesanalysen, fordi varer bestemt til bunden anvendelse ikke er udsat for direkte konkurrence fra importerede varer, og de interne afregningspriser er fastsat inden for grupperne i overensstemmelse med forskellige prispolitikker og er derfor ikke pålidelige.
It, therefore, implied that this Union producer should not be part of the Union industry as defined under recital (97).
Den produktion af varer, der er bestemt til det frie marked, er derimod i direkte konkurrence med importen af den undersøgte vare, og priserne er frie markedspriser.
CN codes used when selling products within the Union are irrelevant for the definition of the product under review and for defining the Union industry.
På grundlag af de indsamlede oplysninger fra de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter og ansøgeren om EU-erhvervsgrenens samlede aktivitet (bunden og fri) fastslog Kommissionen, at ca. 31 % af den samlede EU-produktion var bestemt til bunden anvendelse.
What matters is whether the product manufactured by the Union producers falls under the definition of the product under review stated in recital (31).
Når EU-erhvervsgrenen fremstiller varer til det frie marked, foregår det desuden under normale aftaler (EU-erhvervsgrenen ejer råstofferne) og inden for rammerne af forarbejdningsaftaler (kunden til wolframcarbid ejer råstofferne, og betaler en forarbejdningsafgift til EU-producenterne for at omdanne råstoffet til wolframcarbid).
The investigation revealed that the product manufactured by this Union producer falls indeed under the said definition.
Forarbejdningsaftaler anvendes til genanvendelsesaktiviteter, idet kunderne leverer skrottet til EU-erhvervsgrenen til forarbejdning.
Consequently, this Union producer is part of the Union industry as defined in recital (97).
I den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode blev 23 % af den samlede produktionsmængde fremstillet under en forarbejdningsaftale, hvoraf ca. 89 % var bestemt til EU-markedet.
Union consumption
Den normale produktion til det frie marked må derfor være på omkring 46 % af den samlede produktion.
As mentioned in recital (97) some of the Union producers are mainly producing the product under review for the captive use as primary raw material for the production of various downstream products and therefore captive and free market consumption were analysed separately.
Det bundne forbrug
The distinction between captive and free market is relevant for the injury analysis because products destined for captive use are not exposed to direct competition from imports, and transfer prices are set within the groups according to various price policies and are, therefore, not reliable.
Kommissionen fastsatte det bundne forbrug i Unionen på grundlag af den bundne anvendelse og det bundne salg på EU-markedet for alle kendte producenter i Unionen.
By contrast, production destined for the free market is in direct competition with imports of the product under review and prices are free market prices.
På dette grundlag udviklede det bundne forbrug på EU-markedet sig som følger:
On the basis of the data obtained from the cooperating Union producers and the applicant for the entire activity of the Union industry (captive and free) the Commission determined that around 31 % of the total Union production was destined for captive use.
Tabel 1
Furthermore, in the free market the Union industry is producing under normal agreements (the Union industry owns the raw material) and under tolling agreements (the customer of tungsten carbide is the owner of the raw material which pays a processing fee to the Union producers for the conversion of the raw material into tungsten carbide).
Kilde: Spørgeskemabesvarelser, data fra Eurostat og oplysninger fra ansøgeren.
The tolling agreements are used for recycling activities as the customers are supplying the scrap to the Union industry for processing.
NUP
During the review investigation period, 23 % of the total production volume was manufactured under a tolling agreement, out of which around 89 % was destined for the Union market.
Bundet forbrug (ton)
It follows that the normal production for the free market is around 46 % of total production.
Indeks (2012 = 100)
Captive consumption
I den betragtede periode steg det bundne forbrug i Unionen med 18 % og nåede op på 2653 ton i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
The Commission established the Union captive consumption on the basis of the captive use and captive sales on the Union market of all known producers in the Union.
Forbruget på det frie marked
On this basis, the Union captive consumption developed as follows:
Kommissionen fastsatte forbruget på det frie marked i Unionen på grundlag af: a) mængden af alle kendte EU-producenters frie salg og b) den samlede importmængde til Unionen ifølge Eurostat.

Hvad angår Kina, blev oplysningerne om importmængder fra Eurostat justeret i forhold til de verificerede spørgeskemabesvarelser fra de samarbejdsvillige brugere, eftersom disse indberettede større importmængder end Eurostat.

During the period considered, the Union captive consumption increased by 18 % reaching 2653 tonnes in the review investigation period.
EU-forbruget på det frie marked steg med 24 % mellem 2012 og 2014 og faldt så i NUP med 7 % i forhold til 2014 og nåede op på 12814 ton.
Free market consumption
Generelt steg forbruget på EU-markedet med 15 % i den betragtede periode.
The Commission established the Union free market consumption on the basis of: (a) the free sales volume of all known Union producers in the Union and (b) total import volumes into the Union as reported by Eurostat.
Import fra det pågældende land
Concerning the PRC, import volumes from Eurostat were revised taking into account the verified questionnaire replies of the cooperating users, as these reported higher import volumes compared to Eurostat.
Mængde og markedsandel for importen fra det pågældende land
On this basis, the Union free market consumption developed as follows:
Kommissionen fastsatte importmængden på grundlag af Eurostats data, der blev justeret i forhold til de verificerede spørgeskemabesvarelser fra de samarbejdsvillige brugere, eftersom disse samlet set indberettede større importmængder end Eurostat, som det også er nævnt i betragtning 106.

Overall, the consumption on the free market increased by 15 % over the period considered.
