Domstolens dom af 7. april 2016 i sag C-186/14 P, ArcelorMittal Tubular Products Ostrava m.fl. mod Hubei, ECLI:EU:C:2016:209, præmis 72, som bekræfter Rettens dom af 29. januar 2014 i sag T-528/09, Hubei Xinyegang Steel mod Rådet, ECLI:EU:T:2014:35.
The Commission confirmed during the investigation that the prices for raw materials fell between 2012 and 2015.
Den kinesiske regerings bemærkninger af 26. august 2016, betragtning 336 og efterfølgende.
For instance, the price for iron ore decreased from about 141 USD/MT to 52 USD/MT, or a decrease of more than 60 %.
EUT L 210 af 4.8.2016, s. 27.
However, when analysing the cost of production of the biggest sampled Union producer, it turns out that the impact of these falling raw materials prices is much lower than the mentioned price evolution.
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2016/1778 af 6. oktober 2016 om indførelse af en midlertidig antidumpingtold på importen af visse varmvalsede flade produkter af jern og ulegeret stål eller andre former for legeret stål med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina (EUT L 272 af 7.10.2016, s. 33).
For example, the input from the three above mentioned raw materials accounted for about 60 % of the total cost of production of one big producer in 2012, but was still at 50 % of its total cost of production in 2015.

This shows that there is no direct correlation between the fall in raw material prices and a decrease of cost of production for HRF.
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2016/1329 af 29. juli 2016 om opkrævning af den endelige antidumpingtold på den registrerede import af visse koldvalsede flade produkter af stål med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina og Den Russiske Føderation (EUT L 210 af 4.8.2016, s. 27).
Furthermore, the cost of production within the Union industry decreased altogether by 25 % over the period considered (see recital (448)), which was the result of not only a lower cost for the raw materials but also due to efficiency gains achieved by Union producers.
World Steel in figures 2015 (Globale tal for stålindustrien i 2015), World Steel Association, s. 14, http://www.worldsteel.org/publications/bookshop/product-details.~World-Steel-in-Figures-2015~PRODUCT~World-Steel-in-Figures-2015~.html.
In addition, the average import prices decreased by a higher percentage, i.e. by 33 % over the same period (see recital (517)).

Under fair market conditions, the Union industry could have maintained its sales price levels so as to reap the benefits of a reduction in costs and reach profitability again.

However, Union producers had to follow the trend of prices on the Union market and prices fell down.
World Steel Association, World Steel in Figures 2016 (Globale tal for stålindustrien i 2016), Tabel: »major steel-producting countries 2014 and 2015«, s. 9, http://www.worldsteel.org/media-centre/press-releases/2016/World-Steel-in-Figures-2016-is-available-online.html.
During the investigation period Union producers were even forced to sell at prices below costs, even though they had already managed to reduce significantly their costs of production.

Conclusion on causation

A causal link was established between the Chinese subsidised imports and the threat of material injury of the Union industry.

There is a clear coincidence in time between the sharp increase of, in particular, the level of the subsidised imports at continuous decreasing sales prices from the PRC, and the drop of the Union's performance, in particular from the second half of 2015 onwards.

The Union industry had no other choice but to follow the price level set by the subsidised imports in order to avoid a further shrinking of its market share.

This resulted in a loss-making situation which is likely to further deteriorate.

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, causing the threat of material injury for the Union industry as a whole at the end of the investigation period.
World Steel Association, mediecenter, produktion af råstål, juni 2016 https://www.worldsteel.org/media-centre/press-releases/2016/June-2016-crude-steel-production0.html.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the subsidised imports from the PRC in the investigation period were causing a threat of material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 8(5) and (6) of the basic Regulation.
Rapport fra OECD's stålkomité, den 13. marts 2017, vedrørende kapacitetsudviklingen i stålindustrien på verdensplan.
Known other factors other than the subsidised imports from the PRC which at the same time had an impact on the situation of the Union industry were not found to break the causal link.

In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case.
Stikprøven bestod af 679,4 mio. ton kinesisk eksport af samme vare i 2015 og af 343,8 mio. ton kinesisk eksport af samme vare i første halvår af 2016.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers, and users.

In this determination, the Commission gave special consideration to the need to eliminate the trade distorting effects of injurious subsidisation and to restore effective competition.

Seventeen producers cooperated during the investigation.

None of the known producers opposed the initiation of the investigation.
Uddrag fra World Steels månedlige opdatering om den kinesiske stålindustri, oktober 2016.
As shown above when analysing the injury indicators, the whole Union industry showed some signs of injury during the period considered.
Marketrealist, presseartikel, Are rising Chinese steel inventories a risk for steel investors?
In particular, injury indicators related to the financial performance of the sampled Union producers, such as profitability, were seriously affected.
(Er stigende kinesiske lagerbeholdninger af stål en trussel for stålinvestorer?) http://marketrealist.com/2017/03/are-rising-chinese-steel-inventories-a-risk-for-steel-investors/, 1 marts 2017.
The sampled Union producers experienced a deterioration of their situation, in particular from the second half of 2015 onwards, and were negatively affected by the subsidised imports, causing the threat of injury which became imminent at the end of the investigation period.
Reuters, presseartikel, »China's surging steel, iron ore inventories at odds with price gains« (Kinas stigende lagerbeholdninger af stål og jernmalm er en trussel for prisgevinster): Russell, http://www.reuters.com/article/us-column-russell-ironore-china-idUSKBN1610FI, 22. februar 2017.
Nevertheless, as mentioned under recital (542), the Commission also found indications that the Union steel producers started possibly recovering in terms of profitability during the second half of 2016, but, even if this would be true, this would not compensate for the losses incurred during 2015 and the first half of 2016.
Som tidligere nævnt indledte Kommissionen den 7. juli 2016 en undersøgelse vedrørende dumpingimport af samme vare med oprindelse i bl.a. Rusland.
Following disclosure of GDD, the GOC alleged that there would be no need to impose definitive measures in the present investigation because it would be by no means clear that it would bring benefits to the Union industry.
Uddrag fra den seneste EF bottom-up-undersøgelse om energipriser og -omkostninger, der udføres af et konsortium af konsulenter, herunder Ecofys og CEPS, juli 2016.
This would result in an improvement of the Union industry's profitability towards levels considered necessary for this capital intensive industry.
Den kinesiske regerings bemærkninger af 26. august 2016, betragtning 367-370.
It is therefore important that prices be restored to a non- subsidised or a non-injurious level in order to allow all various producers to operate on the Union market under fair trade circumstances.
Se Kommissionens afgørelse nr. 284/2000/EKSF af 4. februar 2000 om indførelse af en endelig udligningstold på importen af visse fladvalsede produkter af jern og ulegeret stål, af bredde 600 mm og derover, ikke pletterede, belagte eller overtrukne, i oprullet stand, kun varmvalsede, med oprindelse i Indien og Taiwan, om godtagelse af tilsagn afgivet af visse eksporterende producenter og om afslutning af proceduren vedrørende importen af varer med oprindelse i Sydafrika (EFT L 31 af 5.2.2000, s. 44), betragtning 338.
In the absence of measures, it is likely that the threat of injury will materialise and that there will be a further deterioration of the Union industry's economic situation.
Den kinesiske regerings bemærkninger af 26. august 2016, betragtning 311, s. 114.
The Commission therefore concluded that the imposition of definitive countervailing duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2016/1246 af 28. juli 2016 om indførelse af en endelig antidumpingtold på importen af armeringsstænger af stål med høj udmattelsesstyrke med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina (EUT L 204 af 29.7.2016, s. 70), betragtning 127.
Interest of importers
Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 954/2006 af 27. juni 2006 om indførelse af en endelig antidumpingtold på importen af visse sømløse rør af jern eller stål med oprindelse i Kroatien, Rumænien, Rusland og Ukraine, om ophævelse af forordning (EF) nr. 2320/97 og (EF) nr. 348/2000, om afslutning af interims- og udløbsundersøgelserne af antidumpingtolden på importen af visse sømløse rør af jern eller ulegeret stål med oprindelse i bl.a. Rusland og Rumænien samt om afslutning af interimsundersøgelserne af antidumpingtolden på importen af visse sømløse rør af jern eller ulegeret stål med oprindelse i bl.a. Rusland og Rumænien og i Kroatien og Ukraine (EUT L 175 af 29.6.2006, s. 4), betragtning 233.
As mentioned in recital (21), no unrelated importer completed a full questionnaire reply or provided the Commission with elements showing to what extent importers would be harmed by the imposition of measures.
Se Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2016/1328 af 29. juli 2016 om indførelse af en endelig antidumpingtold og endelig opkrævning af den midlertidige told på importen af visse koldvalsede flade produkter af stål med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina og Den Russiske Føderation (EUT L 210 af 4.8.2016, s. 1), betragtning 156.
Therefore and also taking into account that, in addition to the PRC, many other countries export to the Union, the Commission concluded that it is likely that the imposition of measures may not be in the interest of importers.

The hot-rolled flat steel products are used as an industrial input purchased by end users for a variety of applications, including in construction (production of steel tubes), shipbuilding, gas containers, pressure vessels and energy pipelines.
Tidligere »Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.
Only one user from Italy (Marcegaglia Carbon Spa) with imports from the country concerned and producing inter alia tubes, pipes and downstream steel products provided a questionnaire reply in the framework of the anti-dumping investigation against China on the same product concerned.
Tangshan Branch«.
The product concerned/like product is a cost item for this user.
Tidligere »Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.
This Italian user alleged that the imposition of measures on imports from the country concerned would lead to a situation whereby it would no longer have access to reliable supplies of the product concerned on the Union market, in particular of high quality coils used for re-rolling.
Chengde Branch«.
It alleged that 88 % of the total Union production is accounted for by only 16 companies belonging to eight large groups, whereby the largest part of the production (about 70 %) is used in the captive market.
Tidligere »Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.
As a consequence, allegedly, the Union producers as a result of their still relatively high market share can exercise a strong pressure both on the market of the product concerned as on the downstream market.
Tangshan Branch«.
First, the Commission noted that the objective of definitive countervailing duties is not to close off the Union market from any imports, but to restore fair trade by removing the effect of injurious subsidisation.
Tidligere »Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.
Accordingly, the Italian as well as other Union users would continue to be able to rely on high quality supplies of the product concerned, be that from the Union or from third countries.

Its supply chain should therefore not be greatly disrupted.

Third, even if the prices of the Chinese product concerned were to increase by around 30 %, this would have a 3 % impact of the cost of production of this Italian user.
Den kinesiske regering tog imod tilbuddet om konsultationer, og de blev gennemført den 11. maj 2016.
While this may be considerable in this business, the simulation also showed that his pre-tax profit would remain slightly above break-even.
Under konsultationerne blev der taget behørigt hensyn til de bemærkninger, der var blevet fremsat af den kinesiske regering.
Fourth, because imports from the country concerned and from other countries are expected to continue after the imposition of definitive countervailing duties, and since as such alternative sources of supply still exist, the claim that the imposition of countervailing duties would result in the Union industry being able to exercise strong price pressure is unfounded.
Der blev fremsendt et spørgeskema til den kinesiske regering.
The Union industry consists of 22 producers which provide users with a wide range of supply already within the Union, in addition to the option of imports from the other third countries which produce and export the like product.
Det omfattede specifikke spørgeskemaer til China Development Bank, Agricultural Development Bank of China, Export Import Bank of China (»EXIM«), Agricultural Bank of China (»ABC«), Bank of China (»BOC«), China Construction Bank (»CCB«) og Industrial and Commercial Bank of China (»ICBC«).
Therefore, the Commission rejected the claim that the imposition of measures would lead to a shortage of supply of the product concerned/like product.
Hovedprioriteten for den kinesiske regering i perioden 2011-2015 er den strukturelle justering, omstilling og opgradering af stålindustrien.
With regard to any potential negative effects on the competition on the Union market, it is true that the EU competition rules impose more stringent standards of behaviour on a company that has a significant market share.
Desuden understreger kapitel 5 i den 12. femårsplan for stål betydningen af »at styrke forbindelsen mellem skattepolitik, finansiering, handel, jord, energibesparelse, miljøbeskyttelse, sikkerhed og andre politikområder med politikken for stålindustrien«.
In any event, the Commission is unaware of any abuse of a dominant position on the Union market of the product concerned.
Den kinesiske regering påstod, at Kommissionen ikke kunne gøre den 12. femårsplan og den 12. femårsplan for stål gældende i sin undersøgelse, da disse planer udløb den 31. december 2015.
However, and in any event, it is ultimately up to the competent competition authorities to determine whether there is a dominant position and whether it is abused.
Der ville således ikke være noget retsgrundlag for fortsat subsidiering.
Following disclosure, the GOC was of the opinion that any benefits that the definitive measures against HRF imports would have for the Union industry would be outweighed by the negative effects on users.
I marts 2016 udsendtes i øvrigt den 13. femårsplan, der dækker perioden 2016-2020.
Moreover, it alleged that the imposition of measures would be particularly disproportionate for unrelated importers, who are in direct competition with, and already in a disadvantageous position vis-à-vis related users, who are able to set prices and who benefit from favourable commercial conditions granted by integrated producers.
Som forklaret i den følgende betragtning bygger den 13. femårsplan på de mål, der blev fremhævet i den 12. femårsplan, og udvikler disse yderligere.
The Commission rejected this claim on the basis of the explanations in recital (607) above, since alternative sources of supply will continue to exist.
»Planen for justering og opgradering af stålindustrien for 2016-2020« (»den 13. femårsplan for stål) blev offentliggjort i november 2016.
In view of the above, the Commission concluded that the imposition of measures would be against the interest of users, but would not have a clearly disproportionate negative effect on them.
Den er baseret på den 13. femårsplan.
In particular, even if Chinese exports would de facto stop, a wide range of supply would remain available on the market.
Som svar på disse påstande erindrede Kommissionen om, at virksomheden kun havde fremlagt et kort og ubegrundet afslag på én linje på en sådan tilladelse ved en e-mail af 24. november 2016.
Moreover, the Commission found that the impact of the measures on the profitability of users that came forward was limited.
På dette tidspunkt havde virksomheden hverken anmodet om nærmere oplysninger om kontrolbesøget hos de finansielle institutioner eller anmodet om, at repræsentanten kunne være til stede under en sådan kontrol.
Conclusion on Union interest
Kommissionen bekræftede, at de særlige lån var blevet afskaffet i 1999.
The Commission concluded that the imposition of measures would contribute to the recovery of the Union industry in terms of profitability.
Dette ændrer dog ikke konklusionerne om eksistensen af præferentielle lån, som også er baseret på andre foreliggende faktiske oplysninger, der i sig selv er tilstrækkelige.
The imposition of measures would allow the Union producers to make the necessary investments and R&D to better equip their HRF steel production equipment and boost their competitiveness.
Derudover ejes 18 % af den statsejede virksomhed China State Grid og 1,3 % af Central Huijin.
If no measures were imposed, the threat of imminent injury at the end of the investigation period is likely to materialise.
Kommissionen bemærkede, at de normative rammer for stålindustrien, der er nævnt i betragtning(100) til (120), gælder for alle finansielle institutioner i Kina, herunder privatejede finansielle institutioner.
Some Union hot-rolled flat steel producers might have to close down/reduce their hot-rolled flat steel products activities, dismiss employees and leave many Union users with limited sources of supply.
Dette illustreres af, at meddelelsen Several Opinions on Resolving Overcapacity er rettet til alle politisk styrede banker, store banker, banker i form af aktieselskaber, postsparekasser, banker med udenlandsk kapital, finansielle selskaber til porteføljeadministration og andre finansielle institutioner under ledelse af CBRC.
As regards the interest of unrelated importers and users, the Commission concluded that the imposition of measures at the proposed level would have only a limited impact.
Lokal rating i Kina
More specifically, the prices, their profitability and the employment in the user's industry would not be disproportionately affected.
