Endelig anfægtede Interpipe Group Kommissionens analyse af en kommende joint venture-aftale med en af »de største EU-producenter«.
On the first limb, by way of example, in the year 2015, Ukraine increased its exports by 20 % while consumption in the Union decreased by 9 %.
Kommissionen uddybede sin analyse af dette spørgsmål i sin anden supplerende fremlæggelse af oplysninger til virksomheden.
Moreover, in overall terms during the period considered, Ukraine increased its market share in the Union by 27 % (its market share increased by 1,3 percentage points) while consumption in the Union in the same period decreased by 10 %.
For det første fremgår det af de oplysninger, som Kommissionen råder over, at det kommende joint venture ikke er blevet godkendt af alle de berørte konkurrencemyndigheder.
Therefore the Commission confirmed that, during the period considered, Ukraine significantly increased its volume of imports to the Union (reaching a market share of 6 %) in the context of a decrease in consumption, and despite the measures in place.
Det kan derfor ikke konkluderes på dette stadium, hvilke konsekvenser dette joint venture kan have på Interpipe Groups eksport af sømløse rør til Unionen.
As established in the likelihood of continuation of dumping analysis above, it is likely that in the absence of measures the share of dumped imports from Ukraine will increase further.
For det andet bekræftede Interpipe, at dette joint venture endnu ikke er blevet oprettet.
Interpipe Group's claim was therefore rejected.
For det tredje henviser Kommissionen til sin vurdering i den anden supplerende fremlæggelse af oplysninger til virksomheden, hvor det også blev understreget, at den trods flere anmodninger blev nægtet adgang til oplysningerne om den pågældende joint venture-aftale, således at der ikke kunne foretages en vurdering af virkningerne heraf, f.eks. virkningerne af en potentiel fremtidig produktion.
With regard to the second limb in recital (118), the Commission maintained that the facts unequivocally showed a different evolution in the export behaviour of Ukrainian exporting producers in the Union market, as compared to the projections made by the Interpipe Group.
Der kan således endnu ikke drages konklusioner om virkningerne af det pågældende joint venture på nuværende tidspunkt.
The Commission did not contest the trends on domestic consumtpion and other export destinations described by the Interpipe Group.
Ikke desto mindre har Kommissionen i øvrigt tilføjet, at påstandene vedrørende de potentielle virkninger af joint venture-selskabet på EU-markedet og Interpipe Groups påstande vedrørende sandsynligheden for fortsat dumping er i stærk modstrid med hinanden, for så vidt angår Interpipes evne (eller mangel på samme) til at øge sin eksport til Unionen.
Rather, the Commission pointed out that the conclusions/predictions drawn from such trends by the Interpipe Group (with respect to how they would affect the Ukrainian producers' approach towards the Union market) were at odds with the facts, i.e. an increase of imports to the Union even with an anti-dumping duty in place.
Konklusion vedrørende sandsynligheden for fortsat eller fornyet dumping, hvis foranstaltningerne ophæves
Lastly, in the context of the claim of export diversification, the Commission refers to recital (116) above, whereby it was shown that there were several trade restrictions currently in place against Ukraine in some relevant third markets.
I betragtning af: i) den fortsatte dumping i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode fra begge lande, ii) den betydelige uudnyttede kapacitet (i alt mere end 800000 ton) og iii) EU-markedets tiltrækningskraft konkluderede Kommissionen, at der er stor sandsynlighed for, at hvis foranstaltningerne bortfalder, vil dumpingimporten fra Ukraine og Rusland henholdsvis fortsat stige og på ny trænge ind på markedet i væsentlige mængder.
Therefore, the alleged increase of export destinations should be seen together with the above mentioned trade restrictions in other markets.
EU-PRODUKTIONEN OG EU-ERHVERVSGRENEN
Consequently, in view of the findings established regarding attractiveness of the Union market, spare capacity and certain trade restrictions in some third markets, this claim was dismissed.
I den betragtede periode blev den samme vare fremstillet af 18 producenter i Unionen.
The Interpipe Group finally contested the Commission's analysis with regard to an upcoming joint venture agreement with one of the ‘key EU producers’.
De anses derfor for at udgøre erhvervsgrenen i Unionen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 4, stk. 1, og artikel 5, stk. 4, og omtales herefter som »EU-erhvervsgrenen«.
The Commission explained its assessment with regard to this issue in the second additional disclosure to the company.
Alle tilgængelige oplysninger om EU-erhvervsgrenen, herunder oplysninger anført i anmodningen, oplysninger indhentet fra EU-producenterne og ansøgeren før og efter procedurens indledning og spørgeskemabesvarelserne fra de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenter, blev anvendt til at fastsætte den samlede EU-produktion i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
First, according the the information available to the Commission the upcoming joint venture has not been cleared by all the competition authorities concerned.
På dette grundlag blev den samlede EU-produktion anslået til at være på omkring 2,25 mio. ton i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
Therefore, it cannot be concluded at this stage what effect, if any, this joint venture could have on the exports of SPT from the Interpipe Group to the Union.
Dette tal omfatter alle EU-producenternes produktion, både producenterne i stikprøven og de producenter, der ikke indgik i stikprøven, beregnet på grundlag af verificerede oplysninger, der blev indsendt af ansøgeren.
Second, Interpipe confirmed that the joint venture has not yet been established.
Som anført i betragtning 17 og 18 blev der udtaget en endelig stikprøve bestående af fire producenter ud af de 12 EU-producenter, som indsendte de ønskede oplysninger i forbindelse med stikprøveudtagningen forud for indledningen af undersøgelsen.
Third, the Commission refers to its assessment in the second additional disclosure to the company, where it also highlighted the fact that, despite several requests, it was refused access to the details of the joint venture agreement in question, so that no effects deriving from e.g. potential future production could be assessed.
De fire EU-producenter i stikprøven tegnede sig for 30 % af den samlede anslåede EU-produktion i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode og 37 % af EU-erhvervsgrenens samlede salg på EU-markedet.
Accordingly, no conclusions could yet be drawn on the effects of that joint venture at the present point in time.
Den endelige stikprøve betragtes derfor som repræsentativ for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Nevertheless, the Commission further adds that the claims with regard the potential impact of the joint venture in the Union market and the Interpipe Group's claims on the likelihood of continuation of dumping are in stark contradiction with each other as far as Interpipe's capability (or lack thereof) to increase its exports to the Union is concerned.
SANDSYNLIGHEDEN FOR FORTSAT ELLER FORNYET SKADE
Conclusion on the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping should measures be repealed
EU-forbruget
In view of: (i) the continuation of dumping practices in the review investigation period from both countries; (ii) the significant spare capacities available (combining for more than 800000 tonnes); and (iii) the attractiveness of the Union market, the Commission concluded that there is a strong likelihood that if measures were allowed to lapse, dumped imports from Ukraine and Russia would respectively continue to increase and recur in significant volumes.
EU-forbruget blev fastsat på grundlag af EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængder på EU-markedet og den samlede import.
UNION PRODUCTION AND UNION INDUSTRY
EU-forbruget faldt samlet set med 10 % i den betragtede periode.
In the period considered, the like product was manufactured by 18 producers in the Union.
Kilde: Databasen i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 14, stk. 6, anmodningen, spørgeskemabesvarelser.
They are deemed to constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation and will hereafter be referred to as the ‘Union industry’.
NUP
All available information concerning the Union industry, such as information provided in the request, data collected from Union producers and the applicant before and after initiation of the procedure and the questionnaire responses of the sampled Union producers, were used in order to establish the total Union production for the review investigation period.
Forbrug (ton)
On this basis, the total Union production was estimated to be around 2,25 million tonnes during the review investigation period.
Indeks
This figure includes the production of all Union producers, both the sampled producers and non-sampled producers, calculated on the basis of verified data submited by the applicant.
Import fra de pågældende lande
As indicated under recitals (17) and (18), a final sample consisting of four producers was selected out of the 12 Union producers which submitted the information requested for the selection of the sample at the pre-initiation stage.
Den pågældende imports mængde og markedsandel
The four sampled Union producers accounted for 30 % of the total estimated Union production during the review investigation period and 37 % of total Union industry sales on the Union market.
I den betragtede periode udviklede importen fra Rusland og Ukraine til Unionen sig, for så vidt angår mængde og markedsandele, som følger:
Therefore, the final sample is considered to be representative of the entire Union industry.

Markedsandel af EU-forbruget (%)
Union consumption
Importmængden fra begge de pågældende lande steg med 11 % i den betragtede periode til trods for de gældende antidumpingforanstaltninger.
Union consumption decreased overall by 10 % over the period considered.
Stigningen skyldtes udelukkende importen fra Ukraine, der steg med 14 % i den betragtede periode, mens importen fra Rusland faldt med 14 %.
The lowest point was reached in the year 2016, a 14 % decrease in comparison with the year 2014.
I samme periode steg deres fælles markedsandel med 23 %, hvilket igen skyldtes stigningen i importen fra Ukraine, hvis markedsandel steg med 27 % i den betragtede periode og udgjorde 6 % af EU-forbruget i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode, hvorimod markedsandelen for den russiske import faldt med 4 % og udgjorde 0,6 % af EU-forbruget i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
In the review investigation period, a moderate increase of consumption was noted.
Dette skal ses på baggrund af et faldende forbrug.

Importpriser og prisunderbud
RIP
Tabellen herunder viser gennemsnitsprisen for import fra Rusland og Ukraine.
Consumption (in tonnes)
Det skal understreges, at salgsprisen for importen fra de to pågældende lande ikke blot lå under EU-erhvervsgrenens priser i hele den betragtede periode, men også viste en markant nedadgående tendens i denne periode.
Index

Imports from the countries concerned
Gennemsnitspris i EUR/ton for importen fra Rusland
Volume and market share of the imports concerned
Gennemsnitspris i EUR/ton for importen fra Ukraine
During the period considered, the imports into the Union from Russia and Ukraine were found to have developed in terms of volume and market share as follows:
Som følge af den manglende samarbejdsvilje hos de russiske eksporterende producenter måtte prisunderbuddet for importen fra Rusland fastslås gennem importstatistikker opdelt på Taric-kode og ved at anvende oplysninger, der var indsamlet ud fra grundforordningens artikel 14, stk. 6.
Volume (tonnes)
Prisunderbuddet for importen fra Ukraine blev fastslået ved at anvende priserne på eksport fra den samarbejdsvillige ukrainske eksporterende producent uden antidumpingtold.
Market share on Union consumption (%)
Cif-importpriserne blev opjusteret for omkostninger efter importen.
Both countries concerned
Justeringen beløb sig til 2 EUR pr. ton i henhold til konklusionerne i den tidligere udløbsundersøgelse.
Import volumes from both countries concerned increased by 11 % in the period considered despite anti-dumping measures in force.
Da de ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne importører ikke samarbejdede i forbindelse med denne procedure, var der intet grundlag for at revurdere omfanget af denne justering.
The increase was made up solely of imports from Ukraine, that increased by 14 % in the period considered, while imports from Russia decreased by -14 %.
EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser udgøres af de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenters priser til deres uafhængige kunder, nedjusteret for leveringsomkostninger, rabatter og provisioner til et niveau ab fabrik.
In the same period, their joint market share increased by 23 %, again due to the increase of imports from Ukraine, whose market share increased by 27 % during the period considered to reach 6 % of Union consumption in the review investigation period, while the market share of Russia decreased by 4 % and represented 0,6 % of Union consumption in the review investigation period.
I den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode var underbudsmargenen for importen af sømløse rør hos den eneste samarbejdsvillige ukrainske eksporterende producent (som tegner sig for ca. 90 % af den ukrainske eksport til Unionen) på 28,9 %.
This has to be seen against a background of decreasing consumption.
Hvad angår Rusland, blev der fastsat en underbudsmargen på 20,3 % på grundlag af en sammenligning af gennemsnitspriserne.
Prices of imports and price undercutting
Desuden viste en analyse af de russiske eksportpriser til andre tredjelandsmarkeder, at Rusland solgte til nogle af sine vigtigste eksportmarkeder til priser, der svarer til eller endda var lavere end priserne ved salg til Unionen, hvilket således styrkede konklusionen om, at de russiske prisers nuværende niveau underbyder EU-erhvervsgrenens salgspriser på EU-markedet.
The table below shows the average price of imports from Russia and Ukraine.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger påstod to russiske eksporterende producenter, at denne underbudsmargen ikke var repræsentativ, da deres eksport til Unionen angiveligt omfattede lavprisprodukter, mens EU-erhvervsgrenens hjemmemarkedssalg omfattede en væsentlig andel af avancerede produkter, nemlig OCTG-rør.
It should be underlined that sales prices of imports from both countries concerned were not only below the sales prices of the Union industry throughout the period considered but also showed a sharp downwards trend in this period.
Ifølge virksomhederne ville underbudsberegningen have resulteret i en helt anden margen, hvis man sammenlignede priserne på lignende varetyper.
Source: Article 14(6) of the basic Regulation data basis.
I den forbindelse skal det bemærkes, at Kommissionen ikke kunne foretage en prissammenligning varetype for varetype, da de russiske eksporterende producenter besluttede ikke at samarbejde i forbindelse med undersøgelsen og ikke indsendte en spørgeskemabesvarelse, som ville have gjort det muligt for Kommissionen at foretage underbudsberegningerne under hensyntagen til påståede forskelle i varesortimentet i den russiske eksport og EU-erhvervsgrenens hjemmemarkedssalg.
Average price in EUR/tonne of Russian imports
Andre lande, der er berørt af antidumpingforanstaltninger
Average price in EUR/tonne of Ukrainian imports
Ifølge Eurostat-oplysninger faldt importmængden af sømløse rør af jern og stål med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina som defineret i artikel 1, stk. 1, i Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 926/2009 med 34 % i den betragtede periode.
In view of the absence of cooperation by the Russian exporting producers, price undercutting regarding imports from Russia had to be established on import statistics at TARIC level using information collected on the basis of Article 14(6) of the basic Regulation.
Markedsandelen for den kinesiske import faldt fra 5,7 % i 2014 til 4,2 % i NUP.
Price undercutting regarding imports from Ukraine was established using the export prices of the cooperating Ukrainian exporting producer, not including the anti-dumping duty.
EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation
Import CIF prices were adjusted upward for post-importation costs.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 3, stk. 5, undersøgte Kommissionen alle relevante økonomiske faktorer og forhold, der har indflydelse på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation.
The adjustment amounted to EUR 2 per tonne following the findings of the previous expiry review.
Der blev, jf. betragtning 129, anvendt stikprøveudtagning i forbindelse med undersøgelsen af den eventuelle skade, der er forvoldt EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Due to lack of cooperation of unrelated importers in the current procedure there were no basis to re-estimate the level of this adjustment.
I forbindelse med skadesanalysen skelnede Kommissionen mellem makroøkonomiske og mikroøkonomiske skadesindikatorer.
The sales prices of the Union industry were those of the sampled companies to their independent customers, adjusted downwards for the delivery costs, discounts and commissions to an ex-works level.
I den henseende vurderes EU-erhvervsgrenens situation på baggrund af a) makroøkonomiske indikatorer, dvs. produktion, produktionskapacitet, kapacitetsudnyttelse, salgsmængde, markedsandel og vækst, beskæftigelse, produktivitet, størrelse af den faktiske dumpingmargen og genrejsning fra tidligere dumping, og oplysningerne herom blev indsamlet for den samlede EU-erhvervsgren, og på baggrund af b) mikroøkonomiske indikatorer, dvs. gennemsnitlige enhedspriser, enhedsomkostninger, rentabilitet, likviditet, investeringer, investeringsafkast og evne til at tilvejebringe kapital, lagerbeholdninger og arbejdskraftomkostninger, og oplysningerne herom blev indsamlet hos de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenter.
In the review investigation period, the undercutting margin for imports of SPT for the sole cooperating Ukrainian exporting producer (representing around 90 % of the Ukrainian export volume to the Union) accounted for 28,9 %.
Alle tilgængelige oplysninger om EU-erhvervsgrenen, herunder oplysninger anført i anmodningen, oplysninger indhentet fra EU-producenterne før og efter undersøgelsens indledning og spørgeskemabesvarelserne fra de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenter, blev anvendt til at fastsætte de makroøkonomiske indikatorer, herunder især oplysningerne om de EU-producenter, der ikke indgår i stikprøven.
With regard to Russia, an undercutting margin of 20,3 % was established on the basis of average prices comparison.
De mikroøkonomiske indikatorer blev fastlagt ud fra oplysninger, der er indsamlet fra spørgeskemabesvarelserne fra EU-producenterne i stikprøven.
In addition, the analysis of Russian export prices to other third markets showed that Russia was selling in some of its main export markets at prices similar to or sometimes even lower than those to the Union, thus reinforcing the conclusion that the current level of Russian prices would undercut the sales prices of the Union industry in the Union market.
Makroøkonomiske indikatorer
Following final disclosure, the two Russian exporting producers claimed this undercutting margin to be not representative as their exports to the Union allegedly consisted of low-end products while the Union industry domestic sales had a substantial share of high-end products, namely OCTG.
Produktion, produktionskapacitet og kapacitetsudnyttelse
According to the companies, the undercutting calculation would have resulted in a completely different margin should the prices of similar product types be compared.
Tendenserne for EU-produktionen, produktionskapaciteten og kapacitetsudnyttelsen udviklede sig som følger i den betragtede periode:
In this regard, it is noted that the Commission could not make a price comparison on a product type by product type basis as the Russian exporting producers in question decided not to cooperate in the investigation and did not provide a questionnaire reply which would allow the Commission to perform undercutting calculations taking into account alleged different product mix of the Russian exports and Union industry domestic sales.
Produktionsmængde (ton)
Other country concerned by anti-dumping measures
Produktionskapacitet (ton)
According to Eurostat data, the volume of imports of SPT originating in the People's Republic of China as defined in Article 1(1) of Council Regulation (EC) No 926/2009 decreased by 34 % during the period considered.
Kapacitetsudnyttelse (%)
The market share of Chinese imports decreased from 5,7 % in 2014 to 4,2 % in the RIP.
Produktionsmængden i Unionen faldt med 23 % i den betragtede periode.
Economic situation of the Union industry
Idet produktionskapaciteten var næsten konstant (lille reduktion på 3 %) i denne periode, medførte faldet i produktionen en væsentlig reduktion i kapacitetsudnyttelsen på 14 procentpoint fra 63 % i 2014 til 49 % i den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode.
Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined all relevant economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the Union industry.
Kapacitetsudnyttelsen var rekordlav i 2015 og 2016 (hhv. 46 % og 42 %).
As mentioned in recital (129), sampling was used for the examination of the possible injury suffered by the Union industry.
I den nuværende undersøgelsesperiode steg produktionen og dermed kapacitetsudnyttelsen, men sidstnævnte var stadig under 50 %.
For the purpose of the injury analysis, the Commission distinguished between macroeconomic and microeconomic injury indicators.
Salgsmængde, markedsandel og vækst
In this regard, the economic situation of the Union industry is assessed on the basis of (a) macroeconomic indicators, namely production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share and growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of the actual dumping margin and recovery from past dumping, for which the data were collected at the level of the total Union industry; and on the basis of (b) microeconomic indicators, namely average unit prices, unit cost, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investment and ability to raise capital, stocks and labour costs, for which the data were collected at the level of the sampled Union producers.
EU-producenternes salg omfattede salg via forretningsmæssigt forbundne virksomheder.
All available information concerning the Union industry, including information provided in the request, data collected from the Union producers before and after the initiation of the investigation, and the questionnaire responses of the sampled Union producers, was used in order to establish the macroeconomic indicators and in particular the data pertaining to the non-sampled Union producers.
Salget via forretningsmæssigt forbundne virksomheder tegnede sig i den betragtede periode for ca. 17 % af EU-forbruget.
The microeconomic indicators were established on the basis of information provided by the sampled Union producers in their questionnaire replies.
For så vidt disse salgsmængder efterfølgende videresælges til uafhængige kunder på EU-markedet, betragtes de dog stadig som en del af salget med henblik på at fastsætte udviklingen i EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde, markedsandel og vækst.
Macroeconomic indicators
Tendenserne for salgsmængde, markedsandel og vækst udviklede sig som følger i den betragtede periode:
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Salgsmængde (ton)
The trends for Union production, production capacity and the utilisation of the capacity developed as follows during the period considered:
Markedsandel (%)
Production volume (tonnes)
EU-erhvervsgrenens salgsmængde faldt med 10 % i den betragtede periode.
Production capacity (tonnes)
Denne udvikling fulgte udviklingen i forbruget, så det lykkedes EU-erhvervsgrenen at bevare sin markedsandel på ca. 81 % i hele den betragtede periode.
Capacity utilisation (%)
