Derfor kan disse importpriser ikke tjene som grundlag for en sammenligning med EU-erhvervsgrenens priser.
It follows that the observed shift towards tier 3 exercises an ongoing pressure on the other two tiers as well.
Endelig blev de japanske, sydkoreanske og tyrkiske dæk solgt til en pris, der svarede til priserne i de respektive segmenter på EU-markedet.
In that respect, the Commission further noted that the dumped imports concern mainly tier 3.
Derfor skulle denne import ikke forvolde EU-erhvervsgrenen skade.
In view of the interconnection between tiers and the growing importance of tier 3, the Commission considered that the negative trends already observed for the Union industry as a whole can only but continue in the near future.
For så vidt angår mængderne, forblev deres markedsandele stabile (for Sydkorea faldt mængden med 50000 enheder, forblev stabil for Japan og steg for Tyrkiet med 170000 enheder) og tegnede sig for omkring halvdelen af importmængden med oprindelse i Kina.
Furthermore, despite the express invitation to comment in recitals (213) and (214) of the provisional Regulation, none of the Chinese exporting producers refuted the allegation from the Union industry that there is a risk of further aggravation of injury.
EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater
The Commission hence accepted that unused capacities in the PRC represent about 40 % of current Chinese exports.
Visse interesserede parter hævdede, at EU-erhvervsgrenen led tab, da den eksporterede med tab i hele den betragtede periode, hvilket har påvirket dens investeringsafkast og evne til at investere.
Following final disclosure, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed they had no need to comment on the assertions about the level of unused capacities in the PRC as these are irrelevant to the case.
Som anført i betragtning 226 i forordningen om midlertidig told påvirkes de gennemsnitlige eksportpriser af koncerninterne afregningspriser ved salg til forretningsmæssigt forbundne virksomheder.
The Commission disagrees.
Desuden blev de produktionsomkostninger, der er angivet i betragtning 176 i forordningen om midlertidig told, beregnet for de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenters salg til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder.
The risk of further aggravation of injury is also evidenced by the 13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of the Chemical and the Petrochemical industry in China, which aims at technological innovation, structural adjustment and green development.
Dette giver ikke mulighed for at drage meningsfulde konklusioner på grundlag af en sammenligning af disse to sæt oplysninger.
This plan applies to the tyres industry, and in the parallel anti-subsidy investigation the Commission has already found an important number of subsidies.
Desuden viste mikroindikatorerne, at eksporten fra EU-producenterne i stikprøven var rentabel.
They underpin that Chinese exporting producers have the structural advantage to climb up the value chain with continued access to cheap financing.
Kommissionen gentog, at mængderne forblev stabile i den betragtede periode.
If higher-quality tyres from the PRC were competing more and more with Union tyres at dumped prices, this would reduce the Union tyre industry margins and hence its capacity to invest and innovate.
Desuden er disse priser koncerninterne afregningspriser mellem forretningsmæssigt forbundne parter, og der kan derfor ikke drages konklusioner på grundlag af, at disse priser udviser en nedadgående tendens i den betragtede periode.
This, in turn, would likely force the Union industry to rely on lower quality tyres requiring limited investment in R & D, further affecting their retreadability, and so causing injury to all three tiers.
Kommissionen bekræfter således, at der er intet, der tyder på, at EU-erhvervsgrenens eksportaktivitet kunne svække årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den konstaterede skade.
Because of the injurious situation in tier 3 and the presently-felt reverse-cascading effect on tiers 2 and 1, the Commission hence maintained its conclusion that the industry as a whole suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Omkostningsudvikling
CAUSATION
Giti-gruppen hævdede, at de nye dæk er blevet billigere, da omkostningerne faldt, men regummieringsvirksomhederne kunne ikke drage nytte af dette fald, da råmaterialers andel af deres produktionsomkostninger er betydeligt lavere end for nye dæk.
Effects of the dumped imports
Dette forklarer det tab, som regummieringsvirksomhederne i segment 3 har lidt, og som hovedsageligt skyldes udviklingen i råmaterialepriserne, da disse konstant har været faldende siden 2012 og først begyndte at stige igen i 2017.
Certain interested parties claimed that the Commission did not demonstrate how the volume and price levels of the imports of Chinese tyres have materially affected the Union industry, either individually or jointly.
De kinesiske importpriser fulgte ikke udviklingen i råmaterialepriserne, mens EU-erhvervsgrenens produktionsomkostninger afspejlede denne udvikling, jf. betragtning 152.
Although imports from Chinese exporters into the Union increased by 1124101 items during the period considered, the consumption in the Union also increased by 1249178 items.
Tabene skyldtes, at importen fra Kina underbød EU-erhvervsgrenens priser betydeligt i den betragtede periode.
Thus, the increase in Chinese imports at competitive prices could not by itself harm the Union industry's sales in the market.
Andre kendte faktorer
Further, the fact that some Union producers had to exit a segment of the market and that the price setting changed in the Union market does not necessarily mean that Chinese imports are responsible for causing material injury to the Union industry.
Aeolus-gruppen og Pirelli hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke tog hensyn til, at to store producenter har investeret kraftigt i deres regummieringsvirksomhed.
The fact that Chinese exporters' prices were lower than those of the Union industry and that Union producers could not capture the consumption increase and had to reduce their prices to be more competitive is not sufficient to prove that Chinese imports are responsible for the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Dette kunne angiveligt forklare, hvorfor andre EU-producenter var nødt til at forlade markedets segment 3.
The Commission reiterated that the Chinese dumped prices significantly undercut the prices of the Union industry in all tiers during the investigation period.
Ifølge disse parter har den økonomiske krise skubbet to store producenter (Goodyear og Continental) til at investere i deres regummieringsvirksomhed, og de har åbnet deres egne regummieringsanlæg.
They were on average significantly lower during the whole period considered.
Ifølge de foreliggende oplysninger svarer hvert anlægs produktionskapacitet til ti små regummieringsvirksomheders årlige produktion.
Moreover, the fact that import prices remained stable between 2014 and 2015, dropped in 2016 and remained at the same low level during the investigation period (see recital (147) of the provisional Regulation) cannot be explained by the evolution in the raw material prices.
Aeolus-gruppen mener, at disse investeringer har ført til selvforskyldt skade.
The latter decreased at the beginning of the period considered, but increased during the investigation period.
Disse investeringer siges at have skabt overkapacitet og øget enhedsomkostningerne kunstigt og som følge heraf forårsaget en reduktion af fortjenesten.
Nevertheless, the Chinese exporting producers did not revise their prices upwards.
Investeringernes virkninger for den samlede EU-erhvervsgren er angiveligt tilstrækkelige til at svække en eventuel årsagssammenhæng mellem dumpingimporten fra Kina og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, uanset om den behandles individuelt eller sammen med andre kendte faktorer.
This showed that they wished to gain further market share to the detriment of the Union industry.
Ifølge oplysninger forelagt af ETRMA og en række store fabrikanter, jf. betragtning 189-191, faldt de store fabrikanters produktion (hovedsageligt den varme proces til regummiering) rent faktisk i den betragtede periode (produktionen faldt fra 2,4 mio. enheder i 2014 til 2,2 mio. enheder i undersøgelsesperioden).
One exporting producer claimed that there is no causal link between the Chinese imports and the injury caused to the Union industry as the Chinese exports are predominantly present on tier 3 market while the majority of the Union producers sell tier 1 and 2 products.
Disse tal understøttede således ikke påstanden om, at de to store producenters investeringer havde skabt overkapacitet.
This statement is factually incorrect.
Derfor blev påstanden om selvforskyldt skade afvist.
Products falling under tier 1 and 2 represent around 35 % of the total Chinese imports.
Nogle interesserede parter fremførte, at en stigende efterspørgsel efter mindre dæk sandsynligvis påvirkede varesammensætningen i forskellige år på en sådan måde, at forholdsmæssigt flere små dæk blev solgt hen imod slutningen af undersøgelsesperioden.
Furthermore, as explained in Section 4.7 above regarding the interconnection between new and retreaded tyres and between the different tiers there is a symbiotic relationship between the different tiers.
På grund af vægtrestriktionerne og størrelsesrestriktionerne for køretøjer i bykernerne og væksten inden for e-handel (som kræver, at sendinger opdeles i mindre mængder, hvilket igen kræver flere lette lastbiler og lette erhvervskøretøjer), har der været et skifte i retning af øget efterspørgsel efter mindre dæk.
Price and volume pressure from cheap, the dumped Chinese tyres in tier 3 also affect the price in the other tiers.
Denne bemærkning gjaldt ikke kun for EU-producenternes salg.
Therefore that claim was rejected.
Den kinesiske import tog også højde for den øgede efterspørgsel efter mindre dæk, og dette forklarede (delvist) faldet i salgspriserne på importen fra Kina.
The same exporting producer claimed that injury analysis and thus the causation analysis should be performed taking into consideration that tier 3 tyres were lower priced since they have a significantly shorter lifespan than tier 1 and tier 2 tyres.
Hvad angår påstanden vedrørende udviklingen i varesammensætningen, støtter de oplysninger, som Kommissionen har indsamlet vedrørende de forskellige størrelser, der blev forhandlet på EU-markedet i den betragtede periode, desuden ikke påstanden om, at priserne og omkostningerne er lavere på grund af den relativt større tilstedeværelse af mindre dæk på markedet.
The evaluation of the market share should be made by comparing the market share in value and not in quantity.
Oplysningerne vedrørende undersøgelsesperioden viser snarere, at varesammensætningen på markedet er stabil og fortsat er koncentreret om de vigtigste dimensioner.
If one takes this into account the decrease in the market share of the Union industry and the increase in the market share of the Chinese exporting producer are much less pronounced.
Desuden kan en sådan reduktion af produktets gennemsnitlige størrelse ikke findes i Eurostats data om import fra Kina, som derimod afslørede, at vægten på importerede dæk fra Kina steg med 3 % mellem 2014 og undersøgelsesperioden.
The Commission acknowledged that the lifespan of tyres is an important aspect of the analysis, which demonstrates the interconnection between tiers.
Omvendt bemærkede Kommissionen, at erhvervsgrenen havde foretaget generelle strukturelle tilpasninger for at reducere omkostningerne som følge af den »afsmittende virkning« mellem de forskellige segmenter, der er tale om.
However, it did not accept that this aspect would negate the finding of causality.
Konklusion om årsagssammenhæng
Even if, admittedly, the market share of Chinese tyres in the Union is lower in value due to ‘shorter lifespan’ than ‘per unit’, it does not change the fact that it is precisely because of the growing attractiveness for consumers to buy Chinese ‘low-price — low-mileage’ tyres that the Union industry has become under pressure and suffered material injury.
Hverken den russiske import (på grund af den beskedne mængde) eller importen fra Japan, Sydkorea og Tyrkiet (på grund af afregningspriserne, som var endnu højere end de kinesiske priser) havde været hovedårsagen til den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen var blevet forvoldt.
One interested party claimed that the decrease in price of Chinese imports is caused by a change in product mix triggered by the growing demand for smaller tyres.
Kommissionen bekræftede derfor sine konklusioner i betragtning 229 og 232 i forordningen om midlertidig told om, at den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt, skyldtes dumpingimporten fra Kina, og at de øvrige faktorer, betragtet hver for sig eller samlet, ikke svækkede årsagssammenhængen mellem dumpingimporten og den skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen havde lidt.
There was no evidence supporting that claim.
UNIONENS INTERESSER
In any event, even if the size had an impact on the evolution of the average prices, Chinese imports were undercutting the Union industry's prices also for the same sizes as the comparison is always made per product type.
EU-erhvervsgrenens interesser
Imports from third countries
Kommissionen bekræftede sine foreløbige konklusioner i betragtning 234 og 235 i forordningen om midlertidig told, nemlig at indførelse af foranstaltninger vil være i EU-producenternes interesse.
Several interested parties claimed that the Commission should provide further analysis of the impact of the Russian imports, which were priced at the level of the Chinese imports.
Aeolus-gruppen og Pirelli, Giti-gruppen og Kirkby mente, at regummieringsindustrien i EU ville blive påvirket negativt af et fald i udbuddet af karkasser og en stigning i priserne på disse.
The Commission found that there is a crucial difference between the volumes imported.
Efter deres opfattelse ville antidumpingforanstaltningerne over for dæk i segment 1 og 2 have en negativ indvirkning på uafhængige regummieringsvirksomheder i EU, som anvender karkasserne i disse segmenter i deres produktionslinje.
While Chinese imports increased from 3,5 million tyres in 2014 to 4,6 million tyres (namely by 1100000 items) in the investigation period, Russian imports increased from 0,2 million tyres to 0,3 million tyres (namely with only 100000 items) in the same period.
Giti-gruppen gentog lignende påstande efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger.
Given the limited quantities originating from Russia (they constitute only 6 % of the total volumes of import from the PRC and have only 1,29 % market share of the Union market) at a similar price, these imports cannot weaken the causal link between the Chinese imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Til trods for, at store EU-producenter har en integreret regummieringsvirksomhed, bliver mange af deres karkasser stadig regummieret af uafhængige regummieringsvirksomheder i EU.
Other interested parties claimed that imports from other countries such as Japan, South Korea and Turkey took place at significant quantities and at lower prices than that of the Union industry.
Desuden tilkendegav uafhængige regummieringsvirksomheder i Unionen over for Kommissionen, at der på nuværende tidspunkt er et overudbud af karkasser.
Due to their price and quantity they allegedly severed the causal link between the Chinese imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Mange forbrugere vurderer, at det er billigere at købe kinesiske dæk i de laveste segmenter end at regummiere dæk, de allerede har.
The Commission observed that the import prices from Japan, South Korea and Turkey were well above the Chinese import prices.
Det betyder, at mange karkasser, som kunne regummieres, måtte kasseres.
Moreover, they are mostly transfer prices to related importers.
Endnu vigtigere er det, at selv om uafhængige regummieringsvirksomheder og sammenslutninger støttede foranstaltningerne, var der ingen regummieringsvirksomheder i EU, der gav sig til kende og modsatte sig foranstaltningerne.
Therefore, those import prices cannot serve as a basis for a comparison with the prices of the Union industry.
Dette tyder på, at foranstaltningerne er i EU-regummieringsindustriens interesse.
Finally, the Japanese, South Korean and Turkish tyres were sold at a price corresponding to their respective tier in the Union market.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger, hævdede CRIA og CCCMC, at en af regummieringsvirksomhederne i Unionen tilkendegav, at foranstaltningerne ikke var i virksomhedens interesse.
Therefore, those imports should not cause injury to the Union industry.
Der blev dog set bort fra denne påstand, da der ikke blev forelagt nogen beviser herfor.
As far as the quantities are concerned their market shares remained stable (the volume decreased for South Korea by 50000 items, remained stable for Japan and increased for Turkey by 170000 items) and represented around half of the volume of imports originating in the PRC.
EU-brugeres og -importørers interesser
Export performance of the Union industry
Aeolus-gruppen og Pirelli, Giti-gruppen og Heuver hævdede, at hvis foranstaltningerne blev vedtaget, ville der ske et fald i den kinesiske import, som ville føre til et generelt fald i udbuddet.
Certain interested parties claimed that the Union industry suffered losses as they are exporting at a loss throughout the period considered which impacted their return on investment and the ability to invest.
Dette ville igen føre til en spekulativ stigning i priserne til skade for slutbrugerne.
As indicated in recital (226) of the provisional Regulation, average export prices are affected by transfer values to related companies.
Foranstaltninger til beskyttelse af EU-erhvervsgrenen indebærer også, at de endelige forbrugere får færre valgmuligheder.
Moreover, the costs of production reported in recital (176) of the provisional Regulation were calculated for the sales by the sampled Union producers charged to unrelated customers.
Kommissionen fandt, at der var en tilstrækkelig samlet kapacitet i Unionen til at forsyne det indre marked som angivet i tabel 4.
This does not allow drawing meaningful conclusions on the basis of comparing these two sets of data.
Der er desuden mange producenter i tredjelande (Tyrkiet, Sydkorea, Japan, Rusland, Thailand og mange andre lande), som allerede sælger til EU-markedet.
Moreover, the micro-indicators showed that the exports of the sampled Union producers were found profitable.
Deres samlede salgsmængder i den betragtede periode var relativt stabile med en markedsandel på ca. 10 %.
The Commission reiterated that the volumes remained stable during the period considered.
Kommissionen mindede om, at de kinesiske priser lå et godt stykke under priserne i alle andre store importlande.
Furthermore, these prices are transfer prices between related parties, and therefore no conclusion can be drawn from the fact that these prices show a downward trend during period considered.
I henhold til Eurostat var den gennemsnitlige pris ved import fra Folkerepublikken Kina 128,8 EUR pr. enhed (jf. tabel 3 i forordningen om midlertidig told), mens priserne ved import fra alle andre lande var 189 EUR pr. enhed i undersøgelsesperioden (jf. tabel 18 i forordningen om midlertidig told).
Thus, the Commission confirms that there is no evidence that the export activity of the Union industry could attenuate the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury found.
Det kan derfor med rimelighed forventes, at importen fra alle lande vil sikre det nødvendige udbud, når der igen hersker lige konkurrencevilkår på EU-markedet.
Costs evolution
En række importører hævdede, at de måske helt ville forlade markedet, hvis foranstaltningerne blev indført.
As mentioned in recital (152), the Chinese import prices did not follow the evolution of the raw materials prices while the cost of production of the Union industry reflected this evolution.
Kommissionen mindede om, at formålet med at indføre antidumpingforanstaltninger er at genskabe lige konkurrencevilkår, således at EU-producenter og producenter i tredjelande konkurrerer på lige vilkår.
The losses were due to the fact that Chinese imports are substantially undercutting the Union industry prices over the period considered.
Derfor er tolden kun fastsat på et niveau, der fortsat vil gøre det muligt for den kinesiske import at konkurrere med EU-producenterne, men til rimelige priser.
Other known factors
Da den store forskel mellem de dumpede kinesiske priser og importpriserne fra alle andre lande vil blive reduceret gennem foranstaltningerne, vil importørerne desuden få øgede forretningsmuligheder for at sælge dæk til busser og lastbiler fra andre lande.
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli claimed that the Commission did not take into consideration that two major producers have invested heavily in their retreading business.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede Retread Manufacturing Association, at der er forsyningssikkerhed.
This could allegedly explain why other Union producers had to exit tier 3 of the market.
I henhold til Retread Manufacturing Association er der ikke nogen mangel på varen, da handelsoplysninger viser, at fabrikanterne går fra at foretage deres indkøb i Folkerepublikken Kina til at foretage dem i andre lande som f.eks. Sydkorea.
According to these parties, the economic crisis pushed two major producers (Goodyear and Continental) to invest in their retreading business and they opened their own retreading plants.
Parten hævdede, at siden bekendtgørelsen af den midlertidige told er den lokale efterspørgsel steget med mellem 5 og 10 %.
According to the information available, the production capacity of each plant is equivalent to the annual production of ten small retreaders.
Kommissionen konkluderede, at foranstaltninger ikke vil være i importørernes interesse, idet de overvejende er afhængige af import af meget billige kinesiske dæk.
The Aeolus Group believes that these investments have led to self-inflicted injury.
Det er dog usandsynligt, at importører med en bredere portefølje vil blive hårdt ramt af genopretningen af fair konkurrence.
These investments are said to have created over-capacity and artificially increased the unit costs and as a result caused profit reduction.
Leverandørernes interesser
The effect of the investments on the overall Union industry is allegedly sufficient to attenuate any potential causal link between the dumped Chinese imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry, whether considered individually or jointly with the other known factors.
Da der ikke blev fremsat bemærkninger hertil, bekræftede Kommissionen sin konklusion i betragtning 242 i forordningen om midlertidig told om, at foranstaltningerne er i overensstemmelse med de interesser, som leverandørerne af slidbaner har.
According to information provided by ETRMA and by some large manufacturers as described in recitals (189) to (191), the production of large manufacturers (using mainly hot cured retread process) actually decreased during the period considered (the output went from around 2,4 million in 2014 to 2,2 million in the investigation period).
Andre interesser
These figures did thus not support the claim that the investment of the two major producers had produced an overcapacity.
Da der ikke blev fremsat bemærkninger om det modsatte inden for fristen for fremsættelse af bemærkninger til dokumentet med den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger, bekræftede Kommissionen sine konklusioner i betragtning 243-249 i forordningen om midlertidig told, nemlig at foranstaltningerne er i overensstemmelse med Unionens politik for bæredygtig begrænsning af affald og forvaltning af råmaterialer.
Therefore, that claim about self-inflicted injury was rejected.
Eftersom det mest er SMV'er, der er aktive i regummieringsindustrien, ville foranstaltningerne desuden også være i overensstemmelse med Kommissionens vigtige mål om at støtte SMV'er.
Some 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.
