Foranstaltningerne i denne forordning er i overensstemmelse med udtalelse fra udvalget for beskyttelsesforanstaltninger, der er nedsat i henhold til artikel 3, stk. 3, i forordning (EU) 2015/478 og artikel 22, stk. 3, i forordning (EU) 2015/755 —
These simulations allow calculating the actual level of the out-of-quota tariff capable of deterring trade diversion.
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
As explained in the provisional measures' regulation, these simulations show that the contribution to the margin of the sales for an exporter of steel to the Union in a large variety of the most representative steel product categories under investigation are in excess of 30 % with a median of 34 %.
Artikel 1
Only above-quota tariffs at these levels would be able to completely offset the contribution to the margin of the relevant steel imports into the Union market and this way remove the incentive for an exporter to the US to redirect diverted sales to the Union market as with this tariff they become uneconomic.
Med forbehold af artikel 6 og 7 åbnes der et toldkontingent for import til Unionen for hver af de 26 berørte varekategorier (defineret under henvisning til de KN-koder, der er anført i den forbindelse i bilag I), og for hver af de perioder, der er anført i bilag IV.1 og IV.2.
Against this background, the Union has chosen to adopt the least disruptive above quota tariff level of 25 %, which is at the lower end among the range of options discussed above.
For hver af de pågældende varekategorier og med undtagelse af varekategori 1 tildeles en del af hvert toldkontingent til de lande, der er anført i bilag IV.
As explained, this above quota tariff level does not grant full protection shielding the Union completely against trade diversion.
Den resterende del af hvert toldkontingent samt toldkontingentet for varekategori 1 tildeles efter »først til mølle«-princippet baseret på et toldkontingent, der fastsættes ligeligt for hvert kvartal i anvendelsesperioden.
To the contrary, it will not only allow the free flow of traditional imports, but, on top, said quota tariff levels will also make it possible that, despite the payment of the tariff, a limited proportion of trade diverted sales still remain possible on the Union market, even when traditional trade levels are exceeded to meet an expected increasing demand.
Træk på hvert kvartalskontingent indstilles den tyvende arbejdsdag af Kommissionen efter udgangen af kvartalsperioden.
With respect to the comments made by interested parties on the use of a single macro-economic model taking all the product categories together instead of using more disaggregated analysis with the model, the Commission, as explained at provisional stage and in Section 2 above, considers that given the high degree of interconnections between the product categories from a supply and demand point of view such an overall assessment is fully pertinent notably if conservative values of elasticities are taken.
Der overføres ingen uudnyttet saldo ved udgangen af det sidste kvartal i hvert anvendelsesår for det endelige toldkontingent.
The US and Union statistics on imports of the product categories of steel under investigation show that despite the important increase in prices by the Section 232 measures on the US market, there is a substantial lasting decrease of imports in the US in the last six months since May 2018 which is corresponded with a sustained increase in the growth of imports into the Union of the same steel product categories during the same period.
Hvis det relevante kontingent i henhold til stk. 2 er opbrugt for et bestemt land, kan importen fra dette land finde sted under den resterende del af toldkontingentet for samme varekategori.
Since May up to September 2018, the US imports of the product categories under investigation decreased by 2,6 million tonnes with respect to the same period in 2017, whereas the EU imports of the same products surged substantially with an increase of 2 million tonnes (77 % of the US decrease) over the same period.
Hvis det relevante toldkontingent er opbrugt, eller hvis importen af varekategorier ikke er omfattet af det relevante toldkontingent, anvendes en tillægstold på 25 % af nettoprisen, frit Unionens grænse, ufortoldet, for de varekategorier, der er anført i bilag IV.1.
These data noticeably show that the intended effects of the US Section 232 protectionist measures to produce a reduction in steel imports of 13,3 million metric tons from 2017 levels is well underway.
Artikel 2
Therefore, the observed most recent import trends do not appear to contradict the assumptions made in the model of possible trade diversion rate of about 70 % which the US measures could eventually achieve once they will have deployed their full protectionist effects over time.
Oprindelsen af enhver vare, på hvilken denne forordning finder anvendelse, fastsættes i overensstemmelse med de i Unionen gældende bestemmelser vedrørende ikke-præferenceoprindelse.
Nor would this contradict the ensuing need to have an above quota tariff rate of above 30 % to fully shield the Union market from their induced effects.
De gældende bestemmelser vedrørende told finder anvendelse, medmindre andet er fastsat.
This level also coincides with the above-described result of the microeconomic simulations.
De morarenter, der skal betales i tilfælde af tilbagebetaling, der giver anledning til retten til betaling af morarenter, er den sats, der anvendes af Den Europæiske Centralbank til dennes vigtigste refinansieringstransaktioner, som er offentliggjort i C-udgaven af Den Europæiske Unions Tidende, der er gældende den første kalenderdag i den måned, hvor fristen udløber, forhøjet med ét procentpoint.
Accordingly, the Commission has decided to confirm the 25 % above quota tariff rate representing the lower end and least disruptive remedial option against the trade diversion produced by the US Section 232 measures.
Artikel 3
Administration of the tariff-rate quotas
Toldkontingenterne, der er anført i artikel 1, forvaltes af Kommissionen og medlemsstaterne i overensstemmelse med den forvaltningsordning for toldkontingenter, der er fastsat i artikel 49 til 54 i gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2015/2447.
As explained above, based on Union interest considerations and in order to maintain as far as possible traditional trade flows, the best way of ensuring optimal use of the tariff quotas is to allocate it between the countries having a substantial interest in supplying the product concerned and, for the others, in the chronological order of the dates on which declarations of release for free circulation are accepted, as provided for in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.
Artikel 4
This method of administration calls for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission.
Medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen indgår et nært samarbejde for at sikre, at denne forordning overholdes.
The eligibility of imported goods from developing countries to be excluded from the tariff quotas is dependent on the origin of the goods.
Artikel 5
The criteria for determining non-preferential origin currently in force in the Union should therefore be applied.
Med forbehold af stk. 2 er importen af de 26 varekategorier, der er anført i bilag IV, og som har oprindelse i et af de lande, der er anført i bilag III, ikke omfattet af foranstaltningerne i artikel 1.
For the purpose of the definitive measures, in order to permit traditional trade flows to continue, a specific quota will be determined for each of the product categories on which this Regulation imposes definitive measures.
For hver af de 26 varekategorier i bilag IV fastsætter bilag III.2 de oprindelseslande, som er omfattet af foranstaltningerne i artikel 1.
Applicable anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures
Artikel 6
After the imposition of provisional measures, several users and importers reiterated their claims that Union producers are not in need of additional protection because of the existing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures, and that in any event safeguard and anti-dumping/anti-subsidy measures should not be cumulated.
Varer med oprindelse i Norge, Island og Liechtenstein er ikke omfattet af de foranstaltninger, der er beskrevet i artikel 1.
The Commission recalls that anti-dumping and countervailing duty measures do not seek to close the Union market but merely remedy injurious trading practices.
Følgende lande er heller ikke omfattet af de foranstaltninger, der er beskrevet i artikel 1.
As such, these measures target country-specific situations of dumping and subsidisation, have a different scope of application and purpose than the safeguard measure imposed by way of this Regulation, and are not mutually exclusive.
Botswana, Cameroun, Elfenbenskysten, Eswatini, Fiji, Ghana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia og Sydafrika.
However, as mentioned in recital (117) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission acknowledges that a cumulation of anti-dumping/anti-subsidy measures with safeguards may lead to a greater effect than desirable.
Artikel 7
Since this issue of cumulation would only potentially arise once tariff-rate quota ceilings are reached, the Commission will explore the need to address the issue at a later stage and in due course.
Forudgående tilsynsforanstaltninger, der er i kraft ved Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2016/670, suspenderes for de varer, der er nævnt i bilag IV, i den periode, hvor de beskyttelsesforanstaltninger, der er fastsat i artikel 1, anvendes.
In this framework, in order to avoid the imposition of ‘double remedies’ whenever the tariff quota is exceeded, the Commission may consider necessary to suspend or reduce the level of the existing anti-dumping and countervailing duties to ensure that the combined effect of these measures does not exceed the highest level of the safeguard or anti-dumping/countervailing duties in place.
Artikel 8
Duration
I løbet af den periode, der er fastsat i bilag IV.1 og IV.2, kan Kommissionen revidere foranstaltningerne i tilfælde af ændrede omstændigheder.
The Commission considers that the measures should be in place for a period of three years (including the period of imposition of the provisional measures), expiring on 30 June 2021.
Artikel 9
A tariff-rate quota should be open for the period 2 February 2019 to 30 June 2019, thereafter, for the period of 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, and, thereafter, for the period 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021, as specified in Annex VI for each product category concerned.
Eventuelle beløb, der er betalt i forbindelse med tillægstold i henhold til gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/1013, for så vidt angår de varer, der er anført i bilag IV til denne forordning, opkræves endeligt på det niveau, der er fastsat i artikel 1, stk. 3, i gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/1013.
Since the duration of the measures is for over a year, the measures must be progressively liberalised at regular intervals during the period of application.
Artikel 10
The Commission considers that the most appropriate way to liberalise the measures is to increase the level of the free of duty quota by 5 % after the each year.
Denne forordning træder i kraft dagen efter offentliggørelsen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
This should include the period of application of provisional measures, meaning that the first liberalisation will take place on 1 July 2019, with the second liberalisation taking place on 1 July 2020.
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i hver medlemsstat.
Subsequent liberalisations will follow the same pattern.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 31. januar 2019.
Surveillance on steel products
På Kommissionens vegne
Surveillance measures on steel products subject to this investigation were introduced in April 2016 since it appeared that trends in imports threatened to cause serious injury.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Given the findings of this investigation and the imposition of definitive safeguard measures, the Commission considers that the surveillance system on steel products subject to safeguard measures should be suspended during the time of the imposition of safeguard measures.

EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN COUNTRIES FROM THE SCOPE OF THE DEFINITIVE MEASURES
EUT L 123 af 19.5.2015, s. 33.
In accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 and the international obligations of the Union, the provisional measures should not apply to any product originating in a developing country member of the WTO as long as its share of imports of that product into the Union does not exceed 3 %, provided that developing country members of the WTO with less than a 3 % import share, collectively account for not more than 9 % of total Union imports of the product concerned.

The final determination made by the Commission shows that the product categories concerned originating in certain developing countries meet the requirements to benefit from the abovementioned derogation.

It also indicates for each of the 26 product categories the developing countries to which the provisional measures apply.
WTO-appelorganets rapport, US — Definitive Safeguard Measures on Imports of Certain Steel Products, WT/DS259/AB/R, afsnit 319.
The Commission considers it appropriate to calculate the volume of imports from developing countries, based on statistics available during the most recent period for each product category since the tariff rate quota is also established by reference to traditional trade flows from each category individually.
Kommissionens forordning (EF) nr. 1694/2002 (EFT L 261 af 28.9.2002, s. 1).
Since the exclusion of the developing country Members of the WTO should apply as long as their share of Union imports does not exceed 3 %, the Commission will carry out an assessment of the situation on a regular basis, and at least at the end of each year of imposition of measures, in order to examine whether any country has exceeded the above threshold and should eventually be included in the scope of the safeguard measures.

As set out in recital (80) of the provisional Regulation, on account of the close integration of markets with EEA members, the overall figures of imports from these countries, and the low risk of trade diversion, the Commission considers that the products under assessment originating in Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein should be excluded from the application of this Regulation.
Botswana, Cameroun, Elfenbenskysten, Eswatini, Fiji, Ghana, Lesotho, Mozambique, Namibia og Sydafrika.
Furthermore, in order to comply with bilateral obligations, certain countries with which the Union has signed an Economic Partnership Agreement that is currently in force should also be excluded from the application of this Regulation.
Der var tale om varekategori 10, 11, 19, 24 og 27.
After the imposition of the provisional measures, the Commission did not receive any comment that would lead to a change in these conclusions which are therefore confirmed.

WTO-panelets rapport, US — Definitive Safeguard Measures on Imports of Certain Steel Products, WT/DS259/AB/R, afsnit 10.168.
It is also considered that given the scope and the conclusions of the investigation, there are serious disturbances in the steel sector, and that safeguard measures are therefore also justified under Article 26 of the Agreement concluded between the European Economic Community and the Swiss Confederation in 1972.

In view of the case-law of the Court of Justice, it is appropriate to provide for the rate of default interest to be paid in case of any potential reimbursement of definitive duties, because the relevant provisions in force concerning customs duties do not provide for such an interest rate, and the application of national rules would lead to undue distortions between economic operators depending on which Member State is chosen for customs clearance.
