Alle de kontrollerede regummieringsvirksomheder benytter to forsyningskilder (dvs. lagerbeholdninger af karkasser eller forarbejdningsaftaler) til fremstilling af dæk.
Other Cooperating Companies
Anskaffelsesprisen for et slidt dæk var gennemsnitligt ca. 10 % af de samlede omkostninger ved fremstilling af et regummieret dæk.
All other companies
Kommissionens fandt, at forskellen i produktionsomkostningerne eller i merværdien mellem de to metoder til regummiering af karkasser ikke var væsentlig, og betragtede disse som to forskellige forretningsmodeller for regummiering.
INJURY
Kommissionen konkluderede derfor, at regummieringsvirksomhederne udgjorde en del af EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Definition of the Union industry
Som følge heraf blev de oplysninger, der er indberettet af regummieringsvirksomhederne og efterprøvet af Kommissionen (herunder faktiske omkostninger og salgspriser), lagt til grund for fastlæggelsen af skadesindikatorerne og beregningen af skadesmargenen.
As described in the provisional Regulation in recitals (127) to (129), the like product was manufactured by more than 380 producers in the Union, producing both new and retreaded tyres.
Skadesanalyse opdelt efter segmenter
Together, they were defined as the Union industry.
Som beskrevet i betragtning 162 i forordningen om midlertidig told blev EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation analyseret på et aggregeret grundlag samt — for visse mikroøkonomiske indikatorer — på segmentniveau i lyset af EU-markedets segmentering.
Following final disclosure, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the retreaders operating or not under tolling arrangements cannot form part of the Union industry.
Visse interesserede parter gentog efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger de samme synspunkter om, at skadesanalysen opdelt efter segmenter bør tage hensyn til alle skadesindikatorer og årsagssammenhængsindikatorer.
They considered that retreading is an after service market which cannot be protected by anti-dumping measures as the retreaders take an existing tyre that is part-worn and reprocess it so it can be used.
De henviste til appelorganets rapport i United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan.
Moreover, retreaders operating on a tolling basis cannot own the casing.
Disse parter anmodede desuden Kommissionen om også at sondre mellem nye og regummierede dæk, originaludstyr og udskiftningsdæk, da markedet for originaludstyr var beskyttet mod kinesisk konkurrence, igen med henvisning til appelorganets rapport i United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan.
Customers retain ownership of the casing while the casing is serviced and a new tread applied to a worn tyre before it is returned to the owner.
CRIA og CCCMC gentog de samme synspunkter efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger.
The Commission noted the retreading industry provides a second life (or more as the same casing can be retreaded several times) to a casing originating from a worn-tyre.
I ovennævnte retspraksis anføres det, at de undersøgelsesmyndigheder, der foretager en undersøgelse af en del af en indenlandsk erhvervsgren, »i princippet på samme måde [burde] undersøge alle de øvrige dele af erhvervsgrenen, samt undersøge erhvervsgrenen som helhed«.
A worn-tyre is no longer safe to be used on public road and cannot be put back into circulation.
Appelorganets rapport pålægger dog ikke undersøgelsesmyndighederne en forpligtelse til at stille alle skadesindikatorer for de enkelte segmenter til rådighed.
Without the retreading process, the fate of a worn-tyre is to end in a scrap heap; though part of the worn tyre can be pyrolysed to produce tyre-derived fuel.
De faktiske omstændigheder i nævnte sag var desuden anderledes.
As described in recital (49) of the provisional Regulation, retreading is a recycling process whereby a worn tyre is refurbished through a replacement of the tread on an old casing.
I appelorganets rapport i United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan blev en betydelig del af den indenlandske produktion i USA — bunden produktion — af strukturen på hjemmemarkedet beskyttet mod direkte konkurrence fra de importerede varer.
Therefore, retreading is not merely a service, but a production process.
I det foreliggende tilfælde er der dog ingen beskyttelse af segment 1 og 2 på EU-markedet.
Irrespective of ownership arrangements, the retreaders are Union producers whose production process starts from a casing and who are producing a tyre.
Salget af importen fra Kina er hovedsagelig koncentreret i markedet for udskiftning; dette er en faktuel situation, som ikke er en følge af EU-markedets struktur.
In addition, the life cycle of worn tyres ends in one of two way: they are either discarded as a waste or used as a good casing to be retreaded.
Desuden blev den pågældende vare også solgt til producenter af originaludstyr.
If considered waste, the owner of the worn tyre may have pay a fee to dump the worn tyre.
Påstanden om, at EU-markedet for originaludstyr var beskyttet mod den kinesiske konkurrence og således bør analyseres særskilt, blev derfor afvist.
In the second scenario, the worn tyre becomes a source of revenue.
Som anført i betragtning 160 i forordningen om midlertidig told bekræfter retspraksis endvidere, at en sådan analyse kan fokusere på det segment, der er hårdest ramt af dumpingimport, når det undersøges, om EU-erhvervsgrenen som helhed er blevet forvoldt skade.
Retreaders may purchase the worn tyre from a service garage or retread a worn tyre under a tolling agreement.
I det foreliggende tilfælde vedrører ca. 65 % af importen af dæk fra Kina segment 3.
All verified retreaders use two sources of supply (namely either stock casing or tolling agreement) produce tyres.
Derfor kan der i forbindelse med en egentlig skadesanalyse ikke ses bort fra virkningerne af dumpingimporten, navnlig i en markedssituation, hvor salget af dæk i segment 3 er konstant stigende, og hvor alle de segmenter, der udgør EU-markedet, er indbyrdes forbundne.
The purchase price of a worn tyre was around 10 % in average of the overall cost of production of a retreaded tyre.
Af disse årsager besluttede Kommissionen, at den havde foretaget en ordentlig undersøgelse af industrien som helhed.
The Commission considered that the difference in costs of production or in the added-value between the two ways of retreading casings, was not significant, and regarded those as two different business models of retreading.
EU-forbruget
Therefore, the Commission concluded that the retreaders were part of the Union industry.
Denne import vedrørte dæk i segment 3.
As explained in recital (162) of the provisional Regulation, the economic situation of the Union industry was analysed on an aggregated basis and, in certain microeconomic indicators at the level of tiers given the Union market segmentation.
Det var imidlertid ikke muligt at fastslå, om der var et systemrelateret problem med at angive den pågældende vare, eller om spørgsmålet var begrænset til den pågældende importør.
Certain interested parties reiterated the same concerns following the final disclosure that the injury analysis by segment should consider all injury indicators and causation indicators.
Desuden oversteg den samlede mængde, der blev indberettet af de samarbejdsvillige kinesiske eksporterende producenter i undersøgelsesperioden, den samlede import med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina, som fremgik af Eurostats Comext.
They referred to the Appellate Body Report in United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan.
Da der imidlertid ikke foreligger data fra disse eksporterende producenter vedrørende de foregående år, besluttede Kommissionen at følge en konservativ tilgang og ikke at revidere importmængderne fra Kina.
Moreover, these parties requested that the Commission should also distinguish between new and retreaded tyres, original equipment and replacement tyres as the original equipment market was shielded from Chinese competition, again by reference to the Appellate Body report in United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan.
Efter fremlæggelsen af de foreløbige konklusioner blev det konstateret, at salget for leverandører af slidbaner, der ikke var medlem af ETRMA Europool, var blevet udeladt i forbindelse med fastsættelsen af EU-forbruget.
The CRIA and the CCCMC reiterated the same concerns following the final disclosure.
Kommissionen reviderede derfor EU-forbruget i den betragtede periode.
The jurisprudence mentioned above indicates that the investigating authorities who undertake an examination of one part of a domestic industry ‘should, in principle, examine, in like manner, all of the other parts that make up the industry, as well as examine the industry as a whole’.
I den betragtede periode udviklede EU-forbruget sig som følger:
However, the Appellate Body Report does not impose on the investigating authorities an obligation to provide all injury indicators by segment.
Tabel 2
Moreover, the facts in that case were different.
EU-forbruget (stk.)
In the Appellate Body report in United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan, a significant part of the domestic production in the United States — captive production — was shielded by the structure of the domestic market from direct competition from subject imports.
Kilde: ETRMA og leverandører af slidbaner, der ikke er medlem af ETRMA Europool.
In that specific situation, the Appellate Body took issue with ‘comparative examination’ of each part of the domestic market — which ‘juxtaposed’ the merchant market and captive market.
Undersøgelsesperiode
For the Appellate Body, this ‘enhanced’ the ability of the investigating authorities to make an appropriate determination about the state of the domestic industry as a whole.
Samlet EU-forbrug
In the present case, though, there is no protection of the tier 1 and 2 segments of the Union market.
Indeks 2014 = 100
The Chinese imports' sales are concentrated mainly in the replacement market; this is a factual situation which is not imposed by the structure of the Union market.
EU-forbruget steg således i den betragtede periode.
Moreover, the product concerned was also sold to original equipment manufacturers.
I løbet af den betragtede periode steg forbruget samlet set med 6,1 % fra ca. 20,5 mio. dæk til ca. 21,7 mio. dæk i undersøgelsesperioden.
Therefore, the claim that Union original equipment market was shielded from the Chinese competition and should thus be analysed separately was rejected.
Forbindelsen mellem nye og regummierede dæk
Moreover, as noted in recital (160) of the provisional Regulation, case-law also confirms that, when examining whether there is injury for the Union industry as a whole, such analysis may focus on the segment most affected by dumped imports.
En række interesserede parter anfægtede de foreløbige konklusioner vedrørende indbyrdes forbindelser mellem nye og regummierede dæk og mellem segmenter og gentog de samme synspunkter efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger.
In the present case, around 65 % of Chinese imports of tyres relate to tier 3.
Kommissionen indsamlede alle oplysninger om dette spørgsmål i en note til dossieret om indbyrdes forbindelser.
Therefore, a proper injury analysis cannot disregard the impact of the dumped imports especially in a market situation where tier 3 tyre sales are continuously growing, and where all tiers that make up the Union tyre market are interrelated.
Hvad angår betragtning 140 i forordningen om midlertidig told, hævdede CRIA og CCCMC, at der ikke var nogen værdifordeling til dæk i segment 1 og 2 som følge af regummieringsindustriens eksistens.
For these reasons, the Commission resolved to have conducted a proper examination of the industry as a whole.
Oplysninger om betydningen af regummieringsindustrien kan findes mange steder og er offentligt tilgængelige.
Union consumption
Som nævnt i betragtning 58 i forordningen om midlertidig told fremstiller producenterne af nye dæk også regummierede dæk.
As mentioned in the recital (9), the Commission carried out verification visits at the premises of two unrelated importers.
Visse kinesiske eksporterende producenter har deres egne mærker for regummierede dæk som f.eks. Hankook Alphatread eller Giti Genesis.
It was found that the imports of the product concerned were also declared during the period considered under the CN codes 40119000 and 40119900.
Som det fremgår af noten til dossieret om indbyrdes forbindelser, fandt Kommissionen, at de største dækproducenter, herunder de kinesiske eksporterende producenter, var involveret i regummieringsvirksomhed.
These imports concerned tier 3 tyres.
Giti Genesis, der hidtil har været kendt under betegnelsen GT Ree Tread, benytter sig af Vacu-Lug i Det Forenede Kongerige.
However, it was not possible to establish whether there was a systemic problem with the declaration of the product concerned, or whether the issue was limited to this particular importer.
I forbindelse med en kontrakt, der blev indgået med Marangoni (en EU-leverandør af slidbaneløsninger), erklærede Pirelli Italy desuden i 2009, at dette projekt, som indgår i en strategi for styrkelse og udvidelse af Pirelli Trucks levering af tjenesteydelser, har til formål at øge værdien af især de nye produkter i 88-serien og 01-serien, som blev lanceret på det europæiske marked i 2009, og som blandt andet var karakteriseret ved deres høje grad af egnethed til regummiering.
In addition, the total volume reported by the cooperating Chinese exporting producers in the investigation period exceeded the total of imports originating from the People's Republic of China provided by Eurostat Comext.
Andre producenter markedsfører også deres dæk som regummierbare, f.eks. importøren af varemærket Athos, som oplyser, at Athos-dæk er egnede til opridsning af nye riller og til kold og varm regummiering, samt varemærket Aeolus (begge indberettet som segment 3).
However, as there is no data reported by these exporting producers concerning the preceding years the Commission decided to follow a conservative approach and not to revise the import volumes from the PRC.
Det viser, at regummierbarhed er en betydelig værdifaktor både i Den Europæiske Union og i det pågældende land.
Following the provisional disclosure, it was found that the sales of tread suppliers not members of ETRMA Europool had been omitted when establishing the Union consumption.
Kommissionens undersøgelse har således vist, at producenter i de øvre segmenter er stærkt afhængige af, at en regummieringsindustri eksisterer og er til rådighed, for ikke blot at skabe en markedsværdi af høj værdi, men også for deres forbruger- og forretningskontinuitetsstrategier.
Therefore, the Commission revised the Union consumption for the period considered.
Som det også fremgår af noten til dossieret om indbyrdes forbindelser, ses regummierbarhed af produktionsindustrien i Unionen og det pågældende land ikke blot som et omsætningsaktiv, men også som en reel drivkraft for de øvre segmenter.
During the period considered the Union consumption developed as follows:
Værdien og salgsprisen for de øvre segmenter er derfor uløseligt forbundet med en sund regummieringsindustri i det efterfølgende led.
Table 2
Det er af disse grunde, at Kommissionen i betragtning 140 i forordningen om midlertidig told anførte, at »en stor del af den værdi, der tillægges dæk i segment 1 og 2, rent faktisk stammer fra eksistensen af regummieringsindustrien i segment 3«.
Union consumption (in items)
På dette grundlag bekræftede Kommissionen sine indledende konklusioner om de indbyrdes forbindelser mellem nye og regummierede dæk og mellem segmenterne.
Source: ETRMA and tread suppliers not members of ETRMA Europool.
Hvad angår betragtning 141 i forordningen om midlertidig told, fandt CRIA og CCCMC, at Kommissionen ikke oplyste om kilden til den høje grad af substituerbarhed af regummierede dæk og til gengæld fastsatte pris som en afgørende faktor for kundens beslutning om at købe regummierede dæk eller dæk i segment 3.
Investigation period
Kommissionen accepterede denne påstand.
Total Union consumption
Import fra det pågældende land
Accordingly, the Union consumption increased over the period considered.
Mængde og markedsandel for importen fra det pågældende land
Overall over the period considered the consumption increased by 6,1 % from around 20,5 million tyres to around 21,7 million tyres in the investigation period.
Aeolus-gruppen og Pirelli hævdede, at Kommissionen burde have taget hensyn til stigningen i EU-forbruget i sin analyse og burde have fremlagt en særskilt analyse for de tre segmenter.
Interconnection between new and retreaded tyres
Som beskrevet i betragtning 128 og 132 blev EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation analyseret på et aggregeret grundlag, og dette omfattede analysen af importen.
A number of interested parties challenged the provisional findings on the interconnection between new and retreaded tyres and among tiers and reiterated the same concerns following the final disclosure.
På grund af EU-markedets segmentering var det kun for visse centrale mikroøkonomiske indikatorer, at der blev udført yderligere undersøgelser på segmentniveau.
The Commission compiled all information on this matter in a note for the file on interconnection.
Importmængderne af den pågældende vare fra Kina steg.
Regarding recital (140) of the provisional Regulation, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that there was no value attribution to tiers 1 and 2 tyres from the existence of the retreading industry.
På grundlag af importstatistikkerne fra Eurostats Comext (hvori importen kan være undervurderet, jf. betragtning 133 og 134), fremgik det, at en sådan stigning i importmængden fra Kina var betydelig, både i absolutte og relative tal.
Information regarding the importance of the retreading business is well spread out and publicly available.
Priser på importen fra det pågældende land
As mentioned in recital (58) of the provisional Regulation, the producers of new tyres are also producing retreaded tyres.
Aeolus-gruppen og Pirelli hævdede, at Kommissionens analyse ikke henviste til markedssegmenteringen og kun indeholder tal fra Eurostat uden nogen henvisning til de importtal, der blev indsamlet fra de eksporterende producenter i stikprøven.
Some Chinese exporting producers have their own brands for retreaded tyres such as Hankook Alphatread or Giti Genesis.
Som beskrevet i betragtning 128 og 132 blev EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation analyseret på et aggregeret grundlag samt — for visse centrale mikroøkonomiske indikatorer — også på segmentniveau i lyset af EU-markedets segmentering.
As explained in the note for the file on interconnection, the Commission found that the main tyre producers including Chinese exporting producers were engaged in the retreading business.
I forbindelse med beregningen af underbud blev priserne fra de eksporterende producenter i stikprøven imidlertid sammenlignet med EU-producenternes priser under hensyntagen til det specifikke segment, de tilhører.
Hankook Group relies on Union retreaders such as Vacu-Lug in the United Kingdom or B.R.P. Pneumatici in Italy for its retreading activity.
Aeolus-gruppen og Pirelli hævdede endvidere, at importpriserne i høj grad blev påvirket af svingninger i valutakurserne.
Giti Genesis previously known as GT Ree Tread relies on Vacu-Lug in the United Kingdom.
Kommissionen kunne ikke se valutakursernes relevans, da alle de priser, der blev anvendt til sammenligningen i forbindelse med beregningen af skadesmargenen, er angivet i euro.
Moreover, Pirelli Italy declared in 2009 concerning a contract signed with Marangoni (a Union provider of retread solutions) that this project, which is part of the strategy of strengthening and enlarging the supply of services by Pirelli Truck, aims to add value in particular to the new products in the 88 Series and the 01 Series, launched on the European market in 2009, characterised, among other qualities, by their high suitability for retreading.
Udsvingene mellem USD og EUR spillede derfor ikke nogen rolle med hensyn til at fastlægge enten underbuddet eller foranstaltningernes omfang.
Other producers are also marketing that their tyres are retreadable, for instance Athos brand importer providing that Athos tyres are regroovable and suitable for cold and hot retreading as well as the Aeolus brand (reported both as tier 3).
Visse interesserede parter (Pirelli og Giti-gruppen) hævdede, at ifølge Eurostat er priserne på import fra Kina (hovedsageligt i forbindelse med dæk i segment 3) kun faldet i de sidste tre år på grund af faldende råmaterialepriser (et fald på 15,6 EUR pr. enhed).
This shows that retreadability is a significant value factor both in the European Union and in the country concerned.
Udviklingen i de gennemsnitlige importpriser ved salg til Unionen fra det pågældende land og udviklingen i råmaterialepriserne var som følger:
As the note for the file on interconnection in addition shows, retreadability is viewed by the production industry in the Union and the country concerned as more than a mere marketing asset, but a real value driver for the upper tiers.
Tabel 3
Accordingly, the value and sales price of the upper tiers are indissolubly linked to a healthy retreading industry ‘downstream’.
Udvikling i importpriserne og priserne på de vigtigste råmaterialer
It is for those reasons that the Commission, at recital (140) of the provisional Regulation, stated that ‘a large value attributed to tiers 1 and tier 2 tyres originate, in fact, from the existence of a retreading industry in tier 3’.
Kilde: Eurostats Comext og klagen.
On that basis, the Commission confirmed its initial findings on the interconnection between new and retreaded tyres and among tiers.
Pris på import fra Kina (EUR/stk.)
Regarding recital (141) of the provisional Regulation, the CRIA and the CCCMC considered that the Commission did not disclose the source of the high interchangeability of retreaded tyres that in turn, established price as a determining factor in the customer's decision to purchase a retreaded or tier 3 new tyres.
Naturgummi:
The Commission accepted that claim.
SGX RSS3 USD pr. ton
Accordingly, in its note for the file on interconnection, it showed examples of tyres of different tiers having common sales channels.
SGX TSR20 USD pr. ton
Imports from the country concerned
Butadien US cent pr. pund
Volume and market share of the imports from the country concerned
Brent-indikatorer USD pr. tønde
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli claimed that the Commission should have considered for its analysis the increase in the Union consumption and should have provided a separate analysis for the three tiers.
I den betragtede periode har de kinesiske importpriser ikke afspejlet udviklingen i råmaterialepriserne.
The parties claimed that, with reference to tier 1 and tier 2, Chinese imports decreased by 2,7 % and 2 % respectively, whereas tier 3 imports increased by 3,9 % from 2015 and 2016.
Mens de kinesiske importpriser forblev stabile mellem 2014 og 2015, faldt prisen på de vigtigste råmaterialer betydeligt, dvs. med 20 % for naturgummi og omkring 45 % for butadien og Brent-indikatorer.
In conclusion, they claimed that any alleged rise in imports (in absolute or relative terms) during the investigation period was not substantial and did not injure the Union industry.
Mens de kinesiske importpriser faldt med 12 % mellem 2015 og 2016, forblev råmaterialepriserne forholdsvis stabile.
As explained in recitals (128) and (132), the economic situation of the Union industry was analysed on an aggregated basis, and this included the analysis of imports.
Endelig var de kinesiske importpriser stabile i 2016 og undersøgelsesperioden, mens de fleste råmaterialepriser steg betydeligt fra andet kvartal 2016 til første kvartal 2017.
It was only in certain key microeconomic indicators that the additional analysis at the level of tiers was performed, given the Union market segmentation.
Kommissionen konkluderede, at de kinesiske importpriser ikke afspejlede udviklingen i råmaterialepriserne.
The import volumes of the product concerned from the PRC increased.
Prisunderbud
On the basis of the import statistics from Eurostat Comext (which as explained in recitals (133) and (134) could be underestimated), such increase in the volume of imports from the PRC was substantial, both in absolute and relative terms.
