Følgelig besluttede Kommissionen at vurdere påstanden om, at den rentabilitet på 6,1 %, der i 2014 blev opnået for segment 3, jf. det endelige oplysningsdokument, ikke i tilstrækkelig grad ville sikre, at regummieringsindustrien i Unionen kan overleve.
The effect of the investments on the overall Union industry is allegedly sufficient to attenuate any potential causal link between the subsidized Chinese imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry, whether considered individually or jointly with the other known factors.
Den besluttede således at se på de rentabilitetsniveauer, der blev opnået i 2014 af virksomheder, der var aktive i dette segment, på grundlag af oplysninger modtaget i de efterprøvede spørgeskemabesvarelser.
According to information provided by ETRMA, the hot cured retread process (exclusively used by large manufacturers) actually decreased during the period considered (the output went from 2,3 million in 2014 to 2,1 million in the investigation period).
For store virksomheder i stikprøven, der var aktive inden for regummiering i segment 3, var rentabiliteten i 2014 på – 6,04 %.
These figures did thus not support the claim that the investment of the two major producers had produced an overcapacity.
For SMV'er i stikprøven var dette tal på 2,71 %.
Therefore, the claim about self-inflicted injury was rejected.
Disse tal viser, at regummieringsindustrien, der repræsenterer en betydelig del af EU-erhvervsgrenen som helhed, allerede var påvirket af den kinesiske import i 2014.
Certain interested parties submitted that a growing demand for smaller tyres probably affected the product mix in different years in such a way that proportionally more small-sized tyres were sold towards the end of the investigation period.
Kommissionen søgte derfor at fastlægge størrelsen af den målfortjeneste, som EU-producenter i segment 3 bør opnå under normale konkurrencevilkår, under behørig hensyntagen til regummieringsvirksomheder.
Due to inner-city weight and size restrictions on vehicles and the growth of the e-commerce business (which requires loads to be broken down into smaller quantities, which in turn requires more light trucks and light commercial vans), there has been a shift towards increased demand for smaller tyres.
Den anvendte også de oplysninger, der er til rådighed i dossieret, til denne vurdering.
This observation did not only apply to sales by the Union producers.
I klagen blev målfortjenesten for producenter af den pågældende vare i segment 3 fastsat til 9,2 %, hvilket i henhold til klagerne ville sikre tilfredsstillende vilkår for alle producenter, der er aktive inden for segment 3 (herunder regummieringsvirksomheder, der regummierer den pågældende vare).
Chinese imports also catered to the increased demand for smaller tyres and this, therefore, (partly) explained the decrease in sales prices of the Chinese imports.
Dette tal var også i overensstemmelse med de bemærkninger, der blev fremsat af de virksomheder, der regummierer den pågældende vare, som svar på det endelige oplysningsdokument i den sideløbende antidumpingundersøgelse, hvori de hævder, at Kommissionen burde tage rentabilitetsniveauer på ca. 9 % for producenter i segment 3 i betragtning.
With regard to the claim on the evolution of the product mix, the information gathered by the Commission concerning sizes commercialized in the Union market over the period considered does not support the argument that prices and costs are lower because of the relatively stronger presence of smaller tyres on the market.
Deres argument drejede sig hovedsageligt om tal fra 2014, som allerede viser, at regummieringsindustrien i Unionen lider skade.
The data for the investigation period indeed shows that the product mix on the market is stable and remains concentrated on the main dimensions.
De oplysninger, som EU-regummieringsvirksomhederne i stikprøven havde indsendt for 2006 og 2007, og som ifølge disse repræsenterede de sidste år med normale konkurrencevilkår, tog Kommissionen ligeledes i betragtning.
Moreover, such a reduction of the average size of the product cannot be found in the Eurostat data for Chinese imports, revealing that, on the contrary the weight of the imported tyres from China increased by 3 % between 2014 and the investigation period.
EU-regummieringsvirksomhedernes rentabilitet var på 9,4 % for disse år.
Conversely, the Commission noted that the industry had made overall structural adaptations in order to reduce costs in view of the ‘knock-on’ effect on the different tiers at play.
Kommissionen sammenlignede disse tal med aggregerede rentabilitetstal for segment 3 for EU-producenterne i stikprøven i 2014.
Conclusion on causation
Uden at afspejle vægten af resultaterne for SMV'erne i hele EU-erhvervsgrenen var rentabiliteten i segment 3 i det pågældende år på 9,2 %.
A causal link was established between the injury suffered by the Union producers and the subsidized imports from the country concerned.
Dette ikke-vægtede tal var mere hensigtsmæssigt end det tidligere vægtede tal på 6,1 %.
The considerable price and volume pressure exerted on the Union industry by the increasing subsidized imports from the country concerned over the period considered have not allowed the Union industry to benefit from the post-crisis growing Union market.
Den kinesiske import havde allerede store virkninger for SMV'er i segment 3 i 2014, hvorfor de vægtede tal for det år ikke fuldt ud afspejler de normale konkurrencevilkår i regummeringsindustrien.
Indeed, the fiercest competition takes place in tier 3, where most of the Chinese imports take place, also affecting the higher tiers as explained in recitals (825) to (826).
Som følge heraf anså Kommissionen det for mere hensigtsmæssigt at beregne målfortjenesten i 2014 på en måde, som svækker de skadevoldende virkninger af den kinesiske import, som allerede var blevet konstateret dette år også for EU-regummieringsindustrien.
The analysis of the injury indicators above shows that the economic situation of the Union industry as a whole has been affected by an increase of low-priced subsidized imports from PRC that undercut substantially the Union prices.
På baggrund af ovenstående oplysninger besluttede Kommissionen sig for at fastsætte målfortjenesten for producenter af den pågældende vare i segment 3 til 9,2 %.
Chinese exporters managed to gain significant market share at the expense of the Union industry, resulting in a decrease of employment and a reduction of production capacity.
Dette tager højde for den minimale ikke-skadevoldende pris, som EU-producenter i segment 3 behøver under normale konkurrencevilkår, under behørig hensyntagen til regummieringsindustriens behov.
The Union industry lost 5,2 percentage points of its market share between 2014 and the investigation period, and the sales volumes stagnated, while the consumption increased in the Union market.
Heuver hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke kan skelne mellem regummierede dæk og nye dæk, da de konsekvent blev betragtet som samme vare på grund af deres substituerbarhed.
Moreover, the trend in profitability for the entire Union industry is also decreasing, suffering loses in particular in tier 3 tyres.
Hele skades- og årsagssammenhængsanalysen blev desuden foretaget uden, at der på nogen måde blev skelnet.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the subsidized imports.
Parten hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke fremlagde et gyldigt grundlag for at se bort fra den betragtede periode i denne undersøgelse, og at EU-erhvervsgrenen som helhed allerede var påvirket af den kinesiske import i 2014.
The effect of the other identified factors namely imports from other third countries, the export sales performance of the Union producers and the costs evolution on the Union industry's negative developments in terms of market share, prices and profitability were not found to dilute the causal link.
Den pågældende part hævdede desuden, at når de ikke opnåede denne målfortjeneste på et tidspunkt, hvor importen fra Kina ikke forvoldte EU-erhvervsgrenen skade (2008-2014), betyder dette helt klart, at der er andre årsager til skaden.
Even when their combined effect was considered, the Commission's conclusion was not different: in the absence of the subsidized imports, the Union industry would not have been negatively affected to such a significant extent.
Xingyuan-gruppen hævdede, at målfortjenesten på 9,2 % var uhensigtsmæssig, fordi den ikke var efterprøvet.
In particular, the market share would not have dropped to such levels and employment would have been maintained.
China National Tire-gruppen gentog en lignende påstand efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger.
Therefore, the Commission concluded at preliminary stage that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the subsidized imports from the country concerned and that the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not attenuate the causal link between the injury and the subsidised imports.
China National Tire-gruppen hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke udførte en analyse af årsagssammenhængen mellem kinesisk import og EU-regummieringsindustriens resultater.
Neither the Russian imports (because of their small volume), nor the imports from Japan, Korea and Turkey (because of their transfer prices which were even higher than the Chinese prices) had been the main cause of injury to the Union industry.
Parten hævdede desuden, at fortjenstmargenen skal begrænses til den fortjenstmargen, som EU-erhvervsgrenen med rimelighed kunne forvente under markedsvilkår med normal konkurrence.
Also the Union's export performance and its cost evolution were not at the root of the Union's injurious situation.
Parten hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke må skelne mellem nye dæk og regummierede dæk, når den vurderer, hvad der er en passende målfortjeneste for segment 3.
The latter can also not be explained by other facts, such as the investment into the retreading business by two major producers and the evolution of the product mix.
Sluttelig blev det hævdet, at Kommissionen ikke havde retfærdiggjort, hvorfor målfortjenesten for segment 3 blev fastsat til 9,2 %.
Therefore, the Commission confirmed its findings as set out in recitals (835) to (871) that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the subsidized imports from the PRC and that the other factors, considered individually and collectively did not attenuate the causal link.
Parten gentog en lignende påstand efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger.
UNION INTEREST
CCCMC og CRIA hævdede, at fastsættelse af målfortjenesten til 9,2 % for segment 3 ikke afspejlede de normale konkurrencevilkår, og at 2006 og 2007 ikke er passende benchmarks for fastlæggelse af skade.
In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether it could clearly conclude that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case, despite the determination of injurious subsidy.
Da Kommissionen havde fokuseret for meget på regummieringsvirksomhederne i segment 3, havde den også undermineret sin skadesanalyse for EU-erhvervsgrenen som helhed.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry and importers.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger gentog disse parter lignende påstande.
Interest of the Union industry
Prometeon hævdede, at den reviderede beregning af skadesmargenen styrker konklusionen om, at den påståede skade var marginal.
The effect of the potential anti-subsidy measures is likely to be positive for the Union producers and in particular for SMEs.
Det samlede tab i segment 3 skulle være på ca. 54 mio. EUR, hvilket udgør 91 % af den samlede skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, mens dæk i segment 1 og 2 ikke er berørt.
They would be able to benefit from the growing consumption and a market governed by fair conditions.
Parten gentog også sin påstand om, at der burde anvendes en anden form for foranstaltning.
It is especially expected that under these conditions Union producers would be able to increase their sales and thus regain part of the market share lost.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger gentog parten og Hämmerling lignende påstande.
This would in turn further increase the Union production and the capacity utilization rate.
Kommissionen afviste disse påstande af følgende årsager.
In fair conditions, the Union industry would be able to increase their prices and improve their financial situation.
For det første er målfortjenesten for segment 3 på 9,2 % baseret på den faktiske fortjeneste for de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenter i segment 3 i 2014 før vægtning af virksomhederne efter segment.
Given the interconnection between the retreading business and the production of retreadable tyres, the proposed measures would in particular allow the viability of the retreading industry.
Det er ikke forkert i den forbindelse at anvende ikke-vægtede tal for at mindske virkningen af resultaterne for de SMV'er, som allerede var påvirket af den kinesiske imports betydelige omfang.
This would bring relief in terms of employment, in particular since the retreadable industry is labour intensive and located all throughout the Union.
For det andet ændrer Kommissionens henvisning til 2006-2007 ikke denne vurdering.
Certain interested parties (the China National Tire Group and Pirelli, the Giti Group, and Kirkby) considered that the retreading industry in the Union would be negatively affected by a decreased supply and an increased price of casings.
Den bekræftede snarere, at konklusionerne på grundlag af ikke-vægtede tal for 2014 var et rimeligt benchmark.
In their view, the anti-dumping measures on tier 1 and 2 tyres would negatively impact the independent Union retreaders, which use the casings of those tiers in its production line.
Ingen af de interesserede parter har påstået, at konkurrencevilkårene i 2006-2007 var fordrejet.
The Commission disagreed with this assessment.
Regummieringsvirksomhederne i stikprøven har ved hjælp af deres årsregnskaber underbygget påstanden om, at deres normale rentabilitet i gennemsnit var på 9-10 % i 2006-2007.
In spite of the fact that large Union producers have integrated retreading operations, many of their casings are still retreaded by independent Union retreaders.
For det tredje var den målfortjeneste for segment 3, der blev konstateret for 2014 på grundlag af ikke-vægtede tal, også i overensstemmelse med den målfortjeneste, der foreslås i klagen.
In addition, independent Union retreaders indicated to the Commission that there is an oversupply of casings at present.
Allerede i den indledende fase anså EU-erhvervsgrenen således dette tal (dvs. 9,2 %) for at være en passende målfortjeneste — dvs. længe før Kommissionen havde påbegyndt vægtningsprocessen.
In their assessment, many consumers find it cheaper to buy low tier Chinese tyres than to retread the existing ones.
Kommissionen afviste derfor disse påstande og bekræftede sit valg af målfortjeneste, som blev fastsat til 9,2 % for dæk i segment 3.
This means that many casings that could be retreaded had to be discarded.
Skadestærsklen for »andre samarbejdsvillige virksomheder« og for »alle andre virksomheder« er defineret på samme måde som ad valorem-subsidiemargenen for disse virksomheder.
Most importantly, while independent retreaders and associations supported the measures, no single Union retreader came forward opposing the measures.
Endelige foranstaltninger
This indicates that the measures are in the interest of the retreading Union industry.
Som anført i betragtning 10, gjorde Kommissionen importen af den pågældende vare med oprindelse i Kina til genstand for registrering ved forordningen om registrering med henblik på den mulige anvendelse med tilbagevirkende kraft af udligningsforanstaltninger, jf. artikel 24, stk. 5, i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) 2016/1037.
Interest of the Union users and importers
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/163 blev ophævet ved artikel 4 i Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/1579.
The Notice of Initiation was sent to over 40 importers and users of the product concerned, and their associations.
Ifølge Forklarende Bemærkninger til det Harmoniserede System, pos. 8708 og 8716, omfatter disse positioner landvejs-, påhængsvogns- og sættevognshjul med dæk.
Five unrelated importers replied to the sampling questionnaire.
Da der kan være en risiko for, at erhvervsdrivende bruger importen af hjul med kinesiske dæk til at omgå foranstaltningerne, fandt Kommissionen det hensigtsmæssigt at overvåge importen af disse hjul for at minimere denne risiko.
They represent [10 % - 15 %] of the total imports from the PRC.
Oplysninger, der indsamles i henhold til dette overvågningssystem, kan ligeledes anvendes, hvis det en dag bliver nødvendigt at iværksætte en antiomgåelsesundersøgelse i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 23.
Out of these five companies, two were sampled on the basis of their volume of imports (representing [6 % - 10 %] of the total Chinese imports) and replied to the questionnaire.
Derfor bør der fastsættes særlige Taric-koder for import af landevejs-, påhængsvogns- og sættevognshjul med dæk, nye eller regummierede, af gummi, af den art der anvendes til busser og lastbiler, med belastningsevne over 121.
For both sampled importers, the Chinese imports of the product concerned represented a significant share of the turnover in the investigation period.
Hämmerling hævdede, at grundforordningen ikke giver Kommissionen et retsgrundlag for at klassificere varer i toldøjemed.
Their business model is mainly based on contracts with Chinese exporting producers, although they also have alternative sources (either domestically or from other third countries).
Ifølge Forklarende Bemærkninger til det Harmoniserede System, pos. 8708 og 8716, omfatter disse positioner landvejs-, påhængsvogns- og sættevognshjul med dæk, jf. betragtning 927.
Therefore, while measures would have an impact on their activity, it is also expected that the imposition of the measures will increase the prices in the Union market to fair levels.
I nævnte betragtning forklares det, at Kommissionen har til hensigt at overvåge importen af dæk, nye eller regummierede, af gummi, af den art der anvendes til busser og lastbiler, med belastningsevne over 121, der var monteret på et hjul og er korrekt klassificeret i henhold til toldforskrifterne i kapitel 87 i den kombinerede nomenklatur.
There is another business model that relies on a ‘container only trading strategy’.
Antisubsidieundersøgelsen blev gennemført sideløbende med en undersøgelse af antidumpingforanstaltningerne, begrænset til at omfatte truslen om skade.
In this case, importers have more flexibility to change sources of supply.
I betragtning af anvendelsen af reglen om den lavest mulige told og den kendsgerning, at de endelige udligningsberettigede subsidiebeløb udtrykt ad valorem er lavere end skadestærsklen, vil Kommissionen indføre en endelig udligningstold på niveauet for de konstaterede endelige udligningsberettigede subsidiebeløb og derefter pålægge en endelig antidumpingtold op til den relevante skadestærskel.
Three of the non-sampled importers fall under this category, representing less than 2 % of the total Chinese imports in the investigation period.
På grundlag af denne metode og de faktiske omstændigheder i sagen, især det forhold, at foranstaltningerne er begrænset til at omfatte skadesmargenen, finder Kommissionen, at der ikke forekommer dobbelttælling i denne sag.
Such a low level of cooperation suggests that the imposition of measures would not have any significant impact on their activity.
Kommissionen mente ret beset, at de foreliggende oplysninger, som var blevet anvendt i disse sager, ikke i væsentlig grad påvirkede de oplysninger, der er nødvendige for at bestemme omfanget af subsidieringen gennem præferencelån på en retfærdig måde, således at de eksportører, der ikke var blevet anmodet om at samarbejde i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, ikke blev skadet ved denne tilgang.
Additional twelve importers and two associations of importers came forward, most of them after the publication of the registration regulation.
Ud fra ovenstående fastsættes den toldsats, som vil blive indført, som følger:
Comments were made on the registration and the possible imposition of measures.
Kinesiske eksporterende producenter
However, none of the Union importers submitted substantiated claims.
Dumpingmargen
The China National Tire Group and Pirelli, the Giti Group, and Heuver claimed that if measures were adopted, there would be a decrease in Chinese imports leading to a general decline in supply.
Subsidiemargen
This, in turn would lead to a speculative increase in prices, to the detriment of end users.
Skadestærskel
Measures protecting the Union industry would also imply that final consumers would have less product choice.
Udligningstoldsats
The Commission considered that there was sufficient overall capacity in the Union to supply the internal market as resulting from Table 1 and Table 6.
Antidumpingtoldsats
Moreover, there are many producers located in third countries (Turkey, South Korea, Japan, Russia, Thailand, and many other countries) who are already selling to the Union market.
Fastsat udligningstold
Their combined sales volumes during the period considered were relatively stable, with a market share of around 12 %.
Fastsat antidumpingtold
The Commission recalled that the Chinese prices were well below the prices of all other major importing countries, according to Eurostat the average import price from China was 128,8 EUR/item, while the import prices from all other countries were 189 EUR/item in the investigation period.
Andre virksomheder, som samarbejdede i forbindelse med både antisubsidieundersøgelsen og antidumpingundersøgelsen, som er opført i bilag I
Therefore, it can be reasonably expected that once the level playing field is restored in the Union market, imports from all countries will provide for the necessary supply.
Andre virksomheder, som samarbejdede i forbindelse med antidumpingundersøgelsen, men ikke i forbindelse med antisubsidieundersøgelsen, som er opført i bilag II
The Commission also recalled that the Union market is a competitive market in which many producers active in all tiers are fiercely competing.
De antidumpingtoldsatser og antidusbsidietoldsatser for de enkelte virksomheder, der er anført i denne forordning, blev fastsat ud fra konklusionerne i de aktuelle undersøgelser.
Therefore, the imports at a fair level of prices will keep exerting an additional competitive pressure on the Union industry's prices.
De afspejler derfor den situation, der blev konstateret for den pågældende virksomhed i forbindelse med disse undersøgelser.
Several importers claimed that they might exit the market altogether if the measures are imposed.
Toldsatsen finder (i modsætning til den landsdækkende told for »alle andre virksomheder«) således udelukkende anvendelse på importen af varer, der har oprindelse i det pågældende land og er fremstillet af den nævnte virksomhed.
The Commission recalled that the purpose of imposing anti-subsidy measures is to restore a level playing field so that Union producers and third country producers compete on a level playing field.
Importvarer, der er fremstillet af andre virksomheder, som ikke udtrykkeligt er nævnt i den dispositive del af denne forordning, herunder enheder, der er forretningsmæssigt forbundet med de specifikt nævnte, kan ikke drage fordel af disse satser, men er omfattet af toldsatsen for »alle andre virksomheder«.
Accordingly, the duties are only set at a level that would still enable the Chinese imports to continue competing with the Union producers, but at fair prices.
En virksomhed kan anmode om, at disse individuelle toldsatser anvendes, hvis den senere ændrer navnet på sin enhed.
In addition, given that the high difference between subsidized Chinese prices and the import prices from all other countries will be reduced through the measures, the importers will have increased business opportunities to sell bus and lorry tyres from other countries.
