Kommissionen gjorde dog virksomheden opmærksom på, at Høringskonsulenten i handelsprocedurer kunne kontrollere nøjagtigheden af disse oplysninger, på grundlag af artikel 12, 13 og 15 i Høringskonsulentens mandat.
In particular, it criticised the Commission for not having disclosed the internet video referred to in recital 93 and the information received from the customs authorities of a Member State referred to in recital 94.
Toldmyndighedernes oplysninger udgør bevis for, at den eksporterende producent var involveret i omladning, og er dermed bevis for, at den eksporterende producent er involveret i omgåelsespraksis.
The company also argued that it was not related to the Chinese company and that it had not hidden their brand usage authorisation contract with this Chinese company during the verification visit.
For det andet blev aftalen om brug af varemærke med den kinesiske eksporterende producent indgået og forlænget på et tidspunkt, hvor den kinesiske eksporterende producent eksporterede til Unionen i henhold til bestemmelserne i et tilsagn.
With regard to the investigation of the customs authorities of a Member State, the company argued that finally all goods were released as modules of Malaysian origin.
I henhold til tilsagnet var bl.a. salg til Unionen af den pågældende vare produceret i et tredjeland forbudt, da dette ville gøre overvågningen af tilsagnet, og især bestemmelsen om tværgående salgsaktiviteter, umulig eller i hvert fald upraktisk.
Finally it argued that its date of establishment and the fact that the company sold to a company in the United States, which is related to the Chinese company, are not valid arguments on the basis of which the exemption can be denied.
Betingelserne i den ikke fortrolige udgave af tilsagnet var velkendte i hele erhvervsgrenen og blev efter anmodning fremlagt af Kommissionens tjenestegrene.
The Malaysian company also requested a hearing with the Hearing Officer in Trade Proceedings, which was held on 12 January 2016.
Som følge af de tætte forretningsmæssige forbindelser med den kinesiske producent, blev de også fremlagt for den eksporterende producent.
Prior to that hearing, the internet video was disclosed to the company, which confirmed its accuracy during the hearing.
Ved at tiltræde aftalen om brug af varemærke omgik den eksporterende producent betingelserne i tilsagnet og blev således også på denne måde involveret i omgåelsespraksis.
The additional explanations provided by the company were not such as to lead to a change in the conclusion as set out above for the reasons set out below.
Under høringen den 12. januar 2016 udtalte den malaysiske virksomhed, at den ikke havde fremlagt ukorrekte eller vildledende oplysninger, og at den er en egentlig malaysisk producent af solcellemoduler.
The elements mentioned in recital 93 above are not mere assumptions and allegations, but facts which were as such not questioned by the company.
Hvad angår beviserne fra de nationale toldmyndigheder, som ikke kunne fremlægges for den malaysiske virksomhed, jf. forklaringerne ovenfor, anmodede virksomheden høringskonsulenten om at kontrollere nøjagtigheden heraf.
In addition, these facts were presented to the company in the Article 28 letter of 3 December 2015, in which the company was invited to comment.
Høringskonsulenten informerede efterfølgende virksomheden om, at han havde kontrolleret nøjagtigheden af oplysningerne fra de nationale toldmyndigheder, og om at de nationale toldmyndigheder på dette grundlag konkluderede, at en betydelig mængde moduler i forsendelsen var af kinesisk oprindelse.
Subsequently, the findings were disclosed to the company on 22 December 2015, on which the company again was invited to comment.
Konklusionerne for denne virksomhed blev derfor baseret på de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger, jf. grundforordningens artikel 28, stk. 1.
Accordingly, the rights of defence of the company were fully respected.
I betragtning af konklusionerne vedrørende ændringer i handelsmønstret og omladningspraksis jf. afsnit 2, og konklusionerne i betragtning 93-105, nemlig at den malaysiske virksomhed har tætte forbindelser til den kinesiske virksomhed, er involveret i omladningspraksis og i brud på tilsagnsbetingelserne, som hver især er tilstrækkelige grunde, kunne den malaysiske virksomhed ikke indrømmes en fritagelse i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 23, stk. 6.
The fact remains that the company at least attempted to minimise, if not to hide, its commercial ties, including the existence of its brand usage authorisation agreement, with the Chinese company during the verification visit.
En virksomhed i Taiwan fremlagde ikke rettidigt detaljerede oplysninger om markedsføringen af celler hos den forretningsmæssigt forbundne virksomhed i Kina, som var blevet præsenteret som en wafer slicer, importdata, overholdelse af restriktionerne i Taiwan og de nøjagtige handelsstrømme.
Indeed the Malaysian company referred during the on spot verification to a brand usage of the Chinese company, however mentioning explicitly ‘for a limited period’.
Virksomheden fremlagde en række supplerende forklaringer efter en anmodning i henhold til artikel 28, stk. 1, som imidlertid var tilstrækkelige til at indrømme virksomheden en fritagelse, da den fremlagde de ønskede oplysninger, som kunne kontrolleres af Kommissionen.
The brand usage contract was neither provided nor was it revealed on spot that this agreement had been renewed for another 4 years.
De resterende fem malaysiske og 21 taiwanesiske eksporterende producenter, herunder virksomheden i betragtning 107, var iflg. undersøgelsen ikke involveret i omgåelsespraksis, og der kunne derfor indrømmes fritagelser til de producerede solcellemoduler og solceller, jf. grundforordningens artikel 23, stk. 6.
None of the elements mentioned above in recital 93, which showed strong commercial ties between the two companies, were explained in detail or shown to the Commission services during the verification visit.
En stor del af disse virksomheder blev nemlig etableret før indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for Kina.
Also, the accuracy of these elements was not questioned by the company.
Samtlige virksomheders produktionsanlæg blev kontrolleret på baggrund af deres spørgeskemabesvarelser.
Article 23(6) of the basic Regulation provides that in order to obtain an exemption, the exporting producer needs to show that it is not related to any producer subject to the measures and not engaged in circumvention practices.
Gennemgangen af produktions- og kapacitetsstatistik, produktionsomkostninger, køb af råvarer, halvfærdige og færdige varer og eksportsalg til Unionen bekræftede, at disse virksomheder var egentlige producenter, og der forelå ikke bevis for, at de var involveret i omgåelsespraksis.
With regard to the first criterion (no relation to a producer subject to the measure), the exporting producer tried to minimise, if not to hide its multiple links with the Chinese exporting producer as set out in recital 93.
Andre producenter, som ikke gav sig til kende i forbindelse med denne procedure og ikke eksporterede den undersøgte vare i UP, og som påtænker at indgive en anmodning om fritagelse fra den udvidede udligningstold i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 20 og artikel 23, stk. 6, vil skulle udfylde en fritagelsesformular, så Kommissionen kan afgøre, om en sådan anmodning er berettiget.
However, the burden of proof on the absence of such a link is on the exporting producer.
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger gav adskillige virksomheder sig til kende og udtrykte tilfredshed med Kommissionens beslutning om at indrømme dem fritagelser.
Because of the lack of cooperation on this point and the impossibility to verify all the new information submitted in reply to the disclosure, the Commission had to rely on the facts available to assess whether the exporting producer did refute the prima facie impression, on the basis of facts available, that it is related to the Chinese company.
Disse virksomheder påpegede dog også, at aftaler (ofte omtalt som OEM-aftalerne) mellem forskellige virksomheder er udbredt i solcellepanelsektoren, hvorved celleproducenter/modulproducenter (ofte omtalt som varemærkeejere) sommetider afsender en del af deres celler, som samles til moduler af andre producenter (ofte omtalt som OEM-producenter).
In the view of the Commission, the exporting producer has not succeeded in doing so, as there are multiple indications of a close link between the Chinese company and the exporting producer.
Disse virksomheder ønskede en afklaring af, hvorvidt de stadig ville have fordel af en fritagelse, hvis de indgik i en sådan aftale.
In any event, and even if the first criterion was met, quod non, the Commission takes the view that the second criterion has not been met.
Kommissionen bekræfter, at sådanne aftaler, som mere korrekt omtales som underentrepriseaftaler, anvendes i solcellepanelindustrien og falder inden for anvendelsesområdet for indrømmelse af fritagelser.
The exporting producer has engaged in circumvention in two different manners, each of which is sufficient on its own to reject the request for exemption.
I forbindelse med disse aftaler kontrolleres leverandørerne og oprindelsen af råvarerne af varemærkeejeren;
An important indication of being engaged in circumvention activities, which is common to both manners and is undisputed, is that the exporting producer started its activities after the imposition of the original measures.
underentreprenøren bruger det modeldesign, der stilles til rådighed af varemærkeejeren, hvorved denne overvåger produktionsprocessen.
First, the statement of the company that all goods mentioned in recital 96 were released as modules of Malaysian origin is factually incorrect.
I forbindelse med disse aftaler skal solcellerne være produceret af fritagne virksomheder, jf. artikel 1, stk. 2.
The customs authorities of the Member State provided information to the Commission showing that these modules are considered to be of Chinese origin, whereby the name of the Chinese company was labelled on the pallets of the solar modules in question.
Hvis en fritagelse er berettiget, ændres de gældende udvidede foranstaltninger i overensstemmelse hermed.
In order to protect the ongoing investigation by this national customs administration, this information could not be disclosed to the Malaysian company.
Kommissionen vil efterfølgende overvåge den pågældende fritagelse for at sikre overholdelse af de betingelser, på hvilke den er givet.
However, the Commission drew the attention of the company to the possibility that the Hearing Officer in Trade Proceedings could verify the accuracy of the information, on the basis of Articles 12, 13 and 15 of his terms of reference.
Det vurderes, at der er behov for særlige foranstaltninger i dette tilfælde for at sikre hensigtsmæssig anvendelse af disse fritagelser.
The information provided by the customs authorities constitutes proof of transhipment by the exporting producer, and therefore proof that the exporting producer is engaged in circumvention practices.
En af disse særlige foranstaltninger er, at der for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder skal fremlægges en gyldig handelsfaktura, som skal opfylde de krav, der er fastsat i denne forordnings artikel 1, stk. 2.
Second, the brand usage agreement with the Chinese exporting producer was concluded and prolonged at a point in time when the Chinese exporting producer was exporting to the Union under the terms of an undertaking.
Import, der ikke er ledsaget af en sådan faktura, er omfattet af den udvidede udligningstold.
That undertaking prohibited, inter alia, sales to the Union of the product concerned produced in a third country, as that would have rendered supervision of the undertaking, and in particular of its provision on cross-sales, impossible, or at the very least impractical.
FREMLÆGGELSE AF OPLYSNINGER
The terms of the non-confidential version of the undertaking were well-known in the industry and were made available, upon request, by the Commission services.
Alle interesserede parter blev underrettet om de vigtigste kendsgerninger og betragtninger, der førte til ovennævnte konklusioner, og blev opfordret til at fremsætte bemærkninger.
Furthermore, due to its close commercial links with the Chinese producer, they were also available to the exporting producer.
Der blev taget hensyn til de mundtlige og skriftlige bemærkninger fra parterne.
By entering into the brand usage agreement, the exporting producer circumvented the terms of the undertaking, and engaged also in that manner in circumvention practices.
Ingen af de fremsatte påstande gav anledning til at ændre de endelige konklusioner.
During the hearing of 12 January 2016, the Malaysian company stated that it had not supplied false or misleading information and that it is a genuine Malaysian manufacturer of solar modules.
De i denne forordning fastsatte foranstaltninger er i overensstemmelse med udtalelsen fra det udvalg, der er nedsat ved artikel 15, stk. 1, i forordning (EF) nr. 1225/2009 —
Concerning the evidence collected from the national customs administration, which could not be disclosed to the Malaysian company for the reasons set out above, the company requested the Hearing Office to verify its accuracy.
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
The Hearing Officer in Trade Proceedings subsequently informed the company that he verified the accuracy of the information from the national customs administration and that on this basis the national customs authorities concluded that a significant volume of modules of that shipment was of Chinese origin.
Artikel 1
Therefore in accordance with Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation, findings with regard to this company were based on facts available.
Den endelige udigningstold for »alle andre virksomheder«, der indførtes ved artikel 1, stk. 2, i gennemførelsesforordning (EU) nr. 1239/2013 på importen af fotovoltaiske moduler af krystallinsk silicium og nøglekomponenter hertil (dvs. celler) med oprindelse i eller afsendt fra Folkerepublikken Kina, medmindre de er i transit som omhandlet i artikel V i GATT, udvides hermed til at omfatte importen af fotovoltaiske moduler af krystallinsk silicium og nøglekomponenter hertil (dvs. celler) afsendt fra Malaysia og Taiwan, uanset om varen er angivet med oprindelse i Malaysia og Taiwan eller ej, i øjeblikket henhørende under KN-kode ex85013100, ex85013200, ex85013300, ex85013400, ex85016120, ex85016180, ex85016200, ex85016300, ex85016400 og ex85414090 (Taric-kode 8501310082, 8501310083, 8501320042, 8501320043, 8501330062, 8501330063, 8501340042, 8501340043, 8501612042, 8501612043, 8501618042, 8501618043, 8501620062, 8501620063, 8501630042, 8501630043, 8501640042, 8501640043, 8541409022, 8541409023, 8541409032, 8541409033), med undtagelse af varer, som er fremstillet af følgende virksomheder:
In view of the findings with regard to the change in the pattern of trade and transhipment practices, as set out in section 2, and the findings as set out in the recitals 93 to 105 above, relating to finding the Malaysian company having close links to the Chinese company, engaging in transhipment and engaging in a breach of the undertaking, each of which are sufficient on their own, the exemption as requested by this Malaysian company could not be granted in accordance with Article 23(6) of the basic Regulation.
Land
One company in Taiwan failed to disclose in due time detailed information about the commercialisation of cells of their related company in China which had been presented as being a wafer slicer, import data, the respect of Taiwanese restrictions and the precise flows of purchases.
Virksomhed
Further explanations by this company, following an Article 28(1) request, were however sufficient to grant this company an exemption, as it provided the information requested which could be verified by the Commission.
Taric-tillægskode
The remaining five Malaysian and 21 Taiwanese exporting producers, including the company referred to in recital 107, were found not to be engaged in circumvention practices and therefore exemptions can be granted to the modules and cells produced in accordance with Article 23(6) of the basic Regulation.
Co., Ltd.
In particular, a large majority of these companies were established before the imposition of measures against the PRC.
Anvendelsen af fritagelser, som er blevet indrømmet de virksomheder, der er udtrykkeligt nævnt i denne artikels stk. 1, eller som Kommissionen har givet tilladelse til, jf. artikel 2, stk. 2, er betinget af, at der over for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder fremlægges en gyldig handelsfaktura udstedt af producenten eller afsenderen indeholdende en erklæring underskrevet af én af de ansatte i den enhed, der har udstedt handelsfakturaen, med angivelse af den pågældendes navn og funktion.
Based on their questionnaire replies, the production facilities of all these companies were inspected.
I forbindelse med fotovoltaiske celler af krystallinsk silicium skal erklæringen lyde som følger:
The verification, of production and capacity statistics, costs of production, purchases of raw materials, semi-finished and finished goods and export sales to the Union, confirmed that these companies were genuine producers of which no evidence of circumvention practises was found.
»Undertegnede bekræfter, at [mængde] af fotovoltaiske solceller af krystallinsk silicium, solgt til eksport til Den Europæiske Union, som er omfattet af denne faktura, er fremstillet af [virksomhedens navn og adresse] [Taric-tillægskode] i [pågældende land].
Other producers which did not come forward in this proceeding and did not export the product under investigation during the Investigation Period, which intend to lodge a request for an exemption from the extended countervailing duty pursuant to Article 20 and Article 23(6) of the basic Regulation will be required to complete an exemption form in order to enable the Commission to determine whether an exemption may be warranted.
Jeg erklærer, at oplysningerne i denne faktura er fuldstændige og korrekte.«
Following disclosure, several companies came forward and welcomed the Commission's decision to exempt them.
I forbindelse med fotovoltaiske solcellemoduler af krystallinsk silicium skal erklæringen lyde som følger:
These companies though, also pointed to the fact that arrangements (often referred to as OEM arrangements) between different companies are widely used in the solar panel industry, whereby cell producers/module manufacturers (often referred to as brand owners) sometimes consign part of their cells for assembly into modules by other manufacturers (often referred to as OEM manufacturers).
»Undertegnede bekræfter, at [mængde] af fotovoltaiske solcellemoduler af krystallinsk silicium, solgt til eksport til Den Europæiske Union, som er omfattet af denne faktura, er fremstillet
These companies requested clarification that they would continue to benefit from an exemption when they entered into such an arrangement.
af [virksomhedens navn og adresse] [Taric-tillægskode] i [det pågældende land].
The Commission confirms that such arrangements, which are more correctly referred to as subcontracting arrangements, exist in the solar panels industry and fall within the scope of the extension granted.
af en tredjepart i en underentrepriseaftale [virksomhedens navn og adresse] [Taric-tillægskode] i [det pågældende land]
Under such arrangements, the suppliers and origins of raw materials are controlled by the brand owners;
[den ikke-relevante mulighed slettes]
the subcontractor is using the model design provided by the brand owner, whereby the latter supervises the production process.
med fotovoltaiske solceller af krystallinsk silicium fremstillet af [virksomhedens navn og adresse] [Taric-tillægskode [tilføjes, hvis det pågældende land er genstand for de oprindelige foranstaltninger eller de gældende antiomgåelsesforanstaltninger]] i [pågældende land].
However, also under such arrangements, the cells must be manufactured by exempted companies, as set out in Article 1(2) below.
Jeg erklærer, at oplysningerne i denne faktura er fuldstændige og korrekte.«
Where an exemption is warranted, the extended measures in force shall be amended accordingly.
Hvis en sådan faktura ikke fremlægges, og/eller en eller begge Taric-tillægskoderne ikke fremgår af ovennævnte erklæring, finder den toldsatsen for »alle andre virksomheder« anvendelse og opgives med Taric-tillægskode B999 i tolderklæringen.
Subsequently, any exemption granted will be monitored to ensure compliance with the conditions set therein.
Den i medfør af stk. 1 i denne artikel udvidede told opkræves på import afsendt fra Malaysia og Taiwan, uanset om den er angivet med oprindelse i Malaysia og Taiwan eller ej, der er registreret i overensstemmelse med artikel 2 i gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2015/832 samt artikel 23, stk. 4, og artikel 24, stk. 5, i forordning (EF) nr. 597/2009, med undtagelse af varer, som er fremstillet af de i stk. 1 opførte virksomheder.
It is considered that special measures are needed in this case in order to ensure the proper application of such exemptions.
Gældende bestemmelser vedrørende told finder anvendelse, medmindre andet er fastsat.
These special measures are the requirement of the presentation to the customs authorities of the Member States of a valid commercial invoice, which shall conform to the requirements set out in the Article 1(2).
Artikel 2
Imports not accompanied by such an invoice shall be made subject to the extended countervailing duty.
Anmodninger om fritagelse for den ved artikel 1 udvidede told indgives skriftligt på et af Den Europæiske Unions officielle sprog og underskrives af en person, der har beføjelse til at repræsentere den anmodende enhed.
DISCLOSURE
I overensstemmelse med artikel 23, stk. 6, i forordning (EF) nr. 597/2009 kan Kommissionen ved en afgørelse give tilladelse til, at import fra virksomheder, der ikke omgår de ved gennemførelsesforordning (EU) nr. 1239/2013 indførte udligningsforanstaltninger, fritages for den ved artikel 1 udvidede told.
The oral and written comments submitted by the parties were considered.
Artikel 3
None of the arguments presented gave rise to a modification of the definitive findings.
Toldmyndighederne pålægges hermed at ophøre med den registrering af importen, der blev indført ved artikel 2 i gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2015/832.
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee established by Article 15(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009,
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i hver medlemsstat.
The definitive countervailing duty applicable to ‘all other companies’ imposed by Article 1(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013 on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China, unless they are in transit in the sense of Article V GATT, is hereby extended to imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components (i.e. cells) consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan whether declared as originating in Malaysia and in Taiwan or not, currently falling within CN codes ex85013100, ex85013200, ex85013300, ex85013400, ex85016120, ex85016180, ex85016200, ex85016300, ex85016400 and ex85414090 (TARIC codes 8501310082, 8501310083, 8501320042, 8501320043, 8501330062, 8501330063, 8501340042, 8501340043, 8501612042, 8501612043, 8501618042, 8501618043, 8501620062, 8501620063, 8501630042, 8501630043, 8501640042, 8501640043, 8541409022, 8541409023, 8541409032, 8541409033) with the exception of those produced by the companies listed below:
