natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
Som påvist i den oprindelige undersøgelse i betragtning 357-359 og som bekræftet i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse, undlod de kinesiske myndigheder at fremlægge centrale oplysninger, således at Kommissionen kunne foretage en passende analyse.
The programme is specific within the meaning of Article 4(2)(a) of the basic Regulation since the legislation pursuant to which the granting authority operates, limits its access to foreign invested enterprises that purchase domestically-manufactured equipment and fall under the encouraged category and the restricted B Category of the Catalogue of Foreign-funded Industries and equipment purchased in the domestic market listed in the Catalogue of key industries, products and technologies the development of which is encouraged by the State.
På grundlag de foreliggende oplysninger i denne undersøgelse er det for det andet stadig klart, at et »dynamisk jordovervågningssystem« og et »vurderingssystem for jord i byområder« ikke sikrede, at markedspriserne bestemmes gennem udbud og efterspørgsel.
Further, the Trial Measures for Administration of Tax Rebate from the Purchase of Chinese-made Equipment for Foreign-invested Projects and the Notice of the Ministry of Finance limit the benefit to the FIEs that belong to the encouraged category in the Guiding Catalogue of foreign invested industries or the Catalogue of advantageous foreign-invested industries in the Central and Western regions in China.
På grund af manglende oplysninger fra den kinesiske regering var det ikke muligt at fastslå den sande natur af det system, der anvendes.
The programme is also specific under Article 4(4)(b) of the basic Regulation because it is contingent upon the use of domestic over imported goods.
I overensstemmelse med artikel 28 fremgik det nemlig klart af de oplysninger, som Kommissionen havde til rådighed, at der var behov for en reference som begrundet ovenfor.
Following disclosure, the GOC contested specificity on grounds similar to those described in recital 379.
Ud fra de foreliggende oplysninger blev det desuden klart, uanset om brugsretten til jord var blevet tildelt før eller efter den oprindelige undersøgelse, at der for virksomhederne i stikprøven ikke var belæg for et velfungerende auktionssystem (eller lignende), der fungerer på markedsøkonomiske principper.
This claim is dismissed in the same recital.
Tværtimod peger ovenstående elementer i retning af et system, som indrømmede fordelagtige satser til solcellesektoren på en uigennemskuelig måde.
The benefit conferred on the recipients is considered to be the amount of VAT exempted on domestic equipment.
Som Kommissionen anførte i det generelle fremlæggelsesdokument, viste de få meddelelser om udbud af jord, der blev indhentet i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, klart, at der kun udbydes jord til målrettede industrier gennem et system af »sektorbestemte retningslinjer«.
In order to ensure that the countervailable amount only covered the RIP, the benefit received was amortized over the life of the equipment according the usual industry practice.
Desuden var priserne blevet fastsat inden auktionen og ændrede sig ikke, da kun én kendt bydende afgav bud i auktionen.
In addition to the general description in section 3.1, the Commission observes that up to the verification visit, the GOC did not provide consumption or market share figures for polysilicon, aluminium or glass, even though these were requested at various occasions, starting with the questionnaire.
De transaktioner, der blev undersøgt hos producenterne i stikprøven, tydede også på, at der fandtes tilbagebetalinger og andre fradrag vedrørende brugsrettigheder til jord samt beviser for, at visse satser var blevet forhandlet med det lokale Land Bureau.
At the end of the verification visit, even though the consumption or market share figures for the three aforementioned goods were requested at the start of the verification, estimates based on domestic production as well as import and export volumes for the three goods were provided, which due to the timing could not be verified by the Commission.
Den kinesiske regering bemærkede i sit svar på fremlæggelsen, at sådanne spørgsmål ikke tydede på, at ordningen for brugsret til jord ikke fungerede på markedsøkonomiske principper.
No figures as regards market shares were provided..
Imidlertid blev den individuelle subsidiemargen, der blev beregnet for hver virksomhed i stikprøven (herunder eventuelle fradrag mv.), fremlagt for den pågældende part, og der blev ikke modtaget bemærkninger om, at beregningerne ikke var korrekte i denne henseende.
The GOC argued that the request contained insufficient evidence of subsidisation of polysilicon, aluminium and glass producers.
Den kinesiske regerings bemærkninger kan derfor ikke godtages.
According to the GOC, the information requested in the specific questionnaires to producers of polysilicon, glass and aluminium was not necessary for the Commission to arrive at a determination seen the insufficient evidence with regard to financial contribution by the government or a public body.
Den kinesiske regering påstod desuden, at Kommissionen mente, at alle brugsrettigheder til jord, der er erhvervet under referencen, modtog fordel, og at dette ikke var tilstrækkeligt til at opfylde kravene om specificitet.
Furthermore, the GOC noted that the information is impossible to provide as the GOC has no control over the producers at hand and the GOC does not have access to the transaction-specific information requested by the Commission.
Det skal dog bemærkes, at Kommissionens opfattelse af specificitet er, at tilstedeværelsen af en fordrejet og uigennemsigtig ordning for brugsrettigheder til jord sammen med klare beviser for præferencetransaktioner i solcellesektoren, påviser specificitet i denne undersøgelse.
Therefore, the GOC did not request any of the producers of polysilicon, aluminium or glass to complete the specific questionnaire.
Denne påstand blev derfor også afvist.
The GOC also requested the Commission to find an operationally feasible way in terms of the information requested and to the extent necessary for the Commission for making a determination.
En eksporterende producent rejste en påstand om, at brugsrettigheder til jord, som virksomheden havde erhvervet fra enheder, der angiveligt var private parter, ikke burde have været medtaget ved beregningen af fordele.
First, the information requested was deemed necessary for making a determination in order to have a view on as well as the option to verify the operations (and possibly subsidisation) of the producers of the aforementioned goods.
For det første bør det bemærkes, at de fleste af producenterne i stikprøven, hovedsagelig havde erhvervsjord direkte fra et Land Bureau under de kinesiske myndigheder.
Second, it was not up to the Commission to work out a workable way for the GOC to obtain the requested information, which in any event only would have only entailed the forwarding of the specific questionnaires to the known domestic producers of polysilicon, aluminium and glass that met the requirements set out in recital 28 and the follow-up of responses (if any).
For det andet, selv i et begrænset antal tilfælde, hvor brugsretten til jord blev erhvervet fra angiveligt private parter, er påstanden uden grundlag, idet den pågældende eksporterende producent i en ordning, som tydeligvis ikke fungerede på grundlag af markedsprincipperne og begunstiger visse sektorer, har erhvervet de relevante brugsrettigheder til priser, der også langt under den etablerede reference.
As for the provision of land and land use rights (LUR), the GOC did not disclose the starting prices, threshold prices and number of participants in the land use biddings and auctions reported by the sampled exporting producers.
I pressen og på websteder for eksporterende producenter i solcellesektoren er det konstateret, at der har været adskillige store redningspakker for solcellepanelproducenter siden den oprindelige undersøgelse.
Even though requested on several occasions (for example in the GOC questionnaire and also during the on-the-spot verification), notices for the relevant biddings and auctions were not provided either.
De fleste af de virksomheder, der nyder godt af sådanne redningspakker, valgte ikke at samarbejde i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse, og Kommissionen måtte derfor gøre brug af de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger.
The Commission was advised by the GOC to retrieve itself the notices from the land market dynamic monitoring website (which is in Chinese), even though and as stated by the GOC, for transactions before 2007, the notices may not appear on the website.
Der blev ikke fremlagt bevist for, at de tre virksomheder i stikprøven havde nydt godt af denne ordning i NUP.
As a result the Commission was unable to verify the information concerning the LUR transactions of sampled exporting producers.
Men mindst fire store kinesiske eksporterende virksomheder (herunder de tre største, der ikke samarbejdede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen) synes at have modtaget betydelige fordele i de senere år, der ville falde ind under denne ordning eller en kombination af denne ordning og en fordelagtig låneordning.
The Commission informed the GOC of its consideration to apply Article 28 of the basic Regulation with respect to this subsidy scheme.
Der findes nogle få eksempler i pressen:
Since the GOC in its reply to Commission did not provide a satisfactory explanation or any new evidence concerning this issue, the Commission had to base its findings on the facts available, i.e. in this case on the information submitted by the sampled exporting producers and other publicly available information.
Suntech Power Holdings blev reddet af sin lokale myndighed (Wuxi City) i 2013 efter en misligholdelse i forbindelse med obligationer.
In its reply to the disclosure the GOC claimed that the Commission had not respected Article 28 of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation when it applied the ‘facts available’ provisions in respect of the provision of goods at LTAR.
Redningspakken var på ca. 150 mio. USD eller ca. 930 mio. CNY (kilde: www.reuters.com).
In particular the GOC claimed that the Commission should have accepted consumption/market share data at the end of the verification.
En virksomhed i Yingli Green Energy Group undlod at foretage obligationsbetalinger i 2015 og har modtaget lån på 3,3 mia. CNY fra China Development Bank og byen Baoding som led i en omstruktureringsplan (kilde: www.forbes.com).
Also the Commission would have been unreasonable in concluding that the GOC had not dispatched to and co-ordinated Appendix B responses from various supplier sectors.
De samlede beløb er betydelige, selv om der skulle tages hensyn til en eller anden form for tilbagebetaling.
Finally, the Commission would not have applied the Article 28 provisions correctly in respect of land use rights.
Da de tre stikprøveudvalgte samarbejdsvillige producenter ikke havde fordel af dette subsidie, blev dets virkninger blev kun taget i betragtning i forbindelse med den generelle analyse af sandsynligheden for fortsat subsidiering under 3.5.
In respect of both the consumption/market share data and the Appendix B responses it should be recalled that anti-subsidy investigations are subject to strict deadlines and it is therefore important that investigations progress satisfactorily.
Subsidiebeløb i NUP
It is also important to understand that on-the-spot verifications are organised (normally on a one off basis) to check data that has been previously submitted.
De udligningsberettigede subsidiebeløb, der blev konstateret i NUP i overensstemmelse med grundforordningens bestemmelser, udtrykt i værdi, for de stikprøveudvalgte virksomheder, er fastsat i nedenstående tabel:
In respect of this investigation data relating to this aspect of the investigation had been requested in the original questionnaire and in the deficiency letter.
Eksporterende producent
The response from the GOC was that it was not its policy to provide the data (relating to consumption/market shares, Appendix B and land use rights) and it did not understand what its relevance was to the investigation.
Endelig subsidiemargen (%)
In the light of this response the Commission confirms that it was not in a position to verify the data either because it was not submitted at all or because it was supplied at such a late stage during the verification that it was not verifiable.
På grundlag af ovenstående konkluderes det, at der fortsat er sket subsidiering i NUP.
In particular with regard to the consumption/market share data which were produced for the Commission near the end of the verification visit, the GOC could not present together with the figures, the actual source of the figures.
I betragtning af den manglende samarbejdsvilje hos de tre af de ti største eksporterende producenter (for så vidt angår eksportsalg til Unionen) og de foreliggende beviser for, at nogle af dem modtog store subsidier (se betragtning 446), bør ovennævnte procentsatser betragtes som forsigtige.
Furthermore, it was clarified by the GOC that the figures provided were estimations, which the Commission could accept had it been able to cross-check and verify with the source based on which the figures were estimated.
Sandsynlighed for fortsat støtte, hvis foranstaltningerne udløb
As for the reference made by the GOC to the EC — Salmon Panel report (WT/DS337/R), it needs to be underlined that the Panel also considered that to assess whether information was provided in a ‘timely’ manner, one should also take into account when the information was first requested.
Kommissionen anmodede den kinesiske regering om at angive eventuelle (påtænkte) ændringer af den kinesiske regerings planer og politikker, der kan påvirke Kommissionens undersøgelsesresultater vedrørende subsidier.
For the record, the request for consumption figures and market share data for glass, aluminium and polysilicon was first made in the questionnaire to the GOC, which was sent on 7 December 2015.
Kommissionen analyserede den 13. femårsplan og konstaterede, at den også lægger vægt på statsstøtte til teknologisk gennembrud på energirelaterede produkter og tjenester, herunder for den nye generation af solceller.
The verification visit to the GOC took place from 8 August 2016 to 12 August 2016 and the estimates were provided on the last day of the verification visit, i.e. 12 August 2016.
Mens den kinesiske regering sammen med den 12. femårsplan også udarbejdede en særlig plan for solcelleindustrien, blev der ikke afdækket en tilsvarende specifik plan for solcelleindustrien sammen med den nye 13. femårsplan.
Hence, the Commission does not see any grounds for referring to the EC — Salmon Panel report in this case.
Den kinesiske regering påstod, at man ikke havde til hensigt at udsende en særlig plan for solcelleindustrien.
Furthermore, if the data had been supplied on a timely basis it would have been possible to analyse it in order that further clarifications or requests for additional data would have been possible.
Ikke desto mindre er den eksplicitte vægt på en ny generation af solceller et klart tegn på, at støtten til solcelleindustrien også vil fortsætte i de kommende år.
Bearing in mind that the Commission was not able to perform a full analysis of the schemes under the heading Government provision of goods and services at LTAR the Commission confirms that the GOC claims in this respect are hereby rejected.
Retsgrundlaget for den politiske støtte til solcellesektoren, såsom Kinas lov om videnskabelige og teknologiske fremskridt (Law of the PRC on Scientific and Technological Progress) (se betragtning 89), i hvilken støtteforanstaltninger til solcelleindustrien udtrykkeligt er nævnt, forbliver desuden i kraft.
Finally it should be stated that the Commission tried its best to analyse the timely data it received from both the GOC and the sampled companies and made a very moderate use of the facts available provisions under Article 28.
På intet tidspunkt i løbet undersøgelsen bekræftede den kinesiske regering, at disse love vil blive ophævet.
In fact, in respect of aluminium, polysilicon, power, solar glass and water it concluded that no subsidy calculation should be made.
Støtte til fusioner og omstrukturering
In respect of the other schemes of this nature, although countervailable schemes were identified, the eventual evaluation was moderate and based on the facts available.
De kinesiske producenter af den undersøgte vare, som modtog disse redningspakker, ville sandsynligvis have forladt solcellesektoren, hvis de ikke havde fået offentlig støtte i form af redningspakker.
Based on the facts available, the investigation did not establish that benefits had been received under the programme by the sampled companies during the RIP.
Redningspakkerne er en sigende indikation af, at den kinesiske regering har til hensigt at støtte solcelleindustrien og holde den kørende.
On 14 May 2014, the Commission imposed definitive countervailing duties on imports of solar glass originating in the PRC [48].
Dette viser klart den kinesiske regerings motivation og vilje til at fortsætte sine støttepolitikker.
Various subsidy schemes were found in the solar glass sector, some of which are the same as in this proceeding on solar modules and cells (e.g. preferential loans, preferential income tax rate for High and New Technology Enterprises, R&D expenses tax offset and the provision of land at less than adequate remuneration).
Den kinesiske regering nægtede at afgive oplysninger om disse redningspakker trods gentagne anmodninger herom.
There was a clear overlap between the findings in the case on solar glass and the subsidy schemes investigated for this proceeding.
De producenter, der har modtaget sådanne redningspakker, samarbejdede ikke i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, selv om de er blandt de største producenter/eksportører til Unionen.
By requesting the relevant information to the GOC, the Commission sought to establish whether part or all of the subsidy granted to the upstream solar glass industry was passed on to the solar panel industry.
På baggrund af ovenstående kan det ifølge de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger kun konkluderes, at denne type statsstøtte højst sandsynligt også vil fortsætte i fremtiden.
Regrettably, the Commission was unable to complete this investigation in the absence of appropriate cooperation by the GOC and replies by the solar glass producers as mentioned in recitals 43, 73, 394, 396 and 398.
Præferentiel finansiering
However, given that findings on this subsidy programme did not materially affect the overall conclusion on the existence of subsidisation, the Commission did not pursue further its analysis on this programme, as clarified above in recital 73.
Det fordrejede finansmarked, det (primært) statslige ejerskab af størstedelen af de finansielle institutioner i Kina og den kinesiske regerings kontrol med og indflydelse på finansielle institutioners transaktioner og forretningsmæssige beslutninger (afsnit 3.4.1.1-3.4.1.2) er strukturelle og varige kendetegn ved den kinesiske finanssektor.
The investigation did not establish that benefits had been received under the programme by the sampled companies during the RIP.
Den kinesiske regering fremlagde oplysninger om de igangværende bestræbelser på at reformere de finansielle markeder, begyndende med liberaliseringen af rentesatserne, men der blev ikke fremlagt klare beviser for, at man faktisk ville reducere præferentiel finansiering til tilskyndede industrier.
Government provision of land and land use rights (LUR) for less than adequate remuneration
Nærmere betegnet vil en sådan reform ikke påvirke ejerskabsstrukturen i de finansielle institutioner eller statens kontrol i den nærmeste fremtid med deres udlånsbeslutninger i overensstemmelse med statens politik.
As established in the original investigation, land is government-owned since land belongs collectively to the People of China.
Tilskud
Land cannot be sold but land-use rights may be assigned according to the law.
Golden Sun-tilskud blev ydet mellem 2009 og 2012 og afskrives over 20 år.
The GOC claimed that the land-use rights in China are assigned through bidding, auction and competition and that this is also provided for in the Article 137 of the Real Right Law of the People's Republic of China.
Derfor fortsætter fordelen for solcelleindustrien frem til 2029-2032.
As established in the original investigation, the land-use right provision in China falls under Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China.
Andre tilskud afskrives også på særlige betingelser og kan også fortsat medføre fordele efter NUP.
In addition, the following documents also are part of the legal basis: Law of the People's Republic of China on Urban Real Estate Administration; the Interim Regulations of the People's Republic of China Concerning the Assignment and Transfer of the Right to the Use of the State-owned Land in the Urban Areas; the Regulation on the Implementation of the Land Administration Law of the People's Republic of China; and the Provision on Assignment of State-owned Construction Land Use Right through Bid Invitation, Auction and Quotation.
Desuden blev der fundet to tilskud i løbet af denne undersøgelse, som ikke blev udlignet i den oprindelige undersøgelse.
The sampled exporting producers reported information regarding the land they hold as well as most of the relevant land-use rights contracts/certificates, though not all notices were provided by the sampled exporting producers.
Nærmere oplysninger om disse tilskud, nemlig »Foreign Trade Development«-ordningen og 863- og 973-ordningerne, findes i betragtning 464-488.
Furthermore, only very limited information was provided by the GOC about pricing of land-use rights.
Disse tilskud viser, at subsidiering i form af tilskud til solcelleindustrien er fortsat, og viser således klart sandsynligheden for, at denne form for subsidiering vil fortsætte, hvis foranstaltningerne udløber (og også selv om foranstaltningerne ikke udløber).
The GOC did not provide information concerning the conditions under which the land use rights were received nor was information provided for the ten largest exporting producers (in terms of exports of the product under review to the Union during the RIP).
Da disse to tilskud ikke blev udlignet i den oprindelige undersøgelse, opgøres subsidiesatsen ikke.
None of the notices and/or starting prices requested were provided, which were needed to the land use right transactions as reported by the three sampled exporting producers.
Endelig mener Kommissionen, for så vidt angår fremtidige tilskud til solcelleindustrien, at dette er stærkt sandsynligt af to grunde.
The GOC referred the Commission to the website of the land market dynamic monitoring system, but added that for transactions dating before 2007, these may not appear on the aforementioned website.
For det første optræder solcelleindustrien stadig i den nye 13. femårsplan.
In addition, the GOC did not provide any information as regards the number of bidders either for the reported land use right transactions.
For det andet meddelte den kinesiske regering ikke, at forsknings- og udviklingsprogrammer, der er styret af den 13. femårsplan, var ophævet eller ville blive ophævet.
As for the missing starting prices, the GOC referred to lower (government) levels, which set the starting prices and threshold prices and which would have information on the number of participants for each bidding and auction.
Foreign Trade Development-ordningen
The Commission could not accept this line of reasoning as the GOC represents the government of the PRC at all levels in an anti-subsidy proceeding.
Dette tilskud omfatter et fast beløb med henblik på at støtte eksportaktiviteter.
Due to the above, some of the findings as regards the provision of land and LUR had to be based on facts available.
Programmet administreres af finansministeriet (MOF).
As established in the original investigation, the authorities set land prices according to the urban land evaluation system.
For at drage fordel af denne støtte skal virksomheden være godkendt og registreret.
In the current expiry review investigation, the GOC referred to the urban land price dynamic monitoring system, which is constructed by the Ministry of Land and Resources and publishes on a quarterly basis the land prices for 105 Chinese cities.
