I sit svar på Kommissionens brev gjorde virksomheden indsigelse mod anvendelsen af grundforordningens artikel 28, stk. 1, vedrørende eksportkreditforsikring.
It is the Commission's understanding that the information requested from state-owned entities (be it companies or public/financial institutions) is available to the GOC for all entities where the GOC is the main or major shareholder.
Den hævdede, at da den ikke eksporterede direkte, havde den ingen kreditrisiko.
This is also the case for Sinosure, which is a fully state-owned entity.
Derfor behøvede virksomheden ingen eksportkreditforsikring og kunne ikke få godtgjort præmier, som den ikke havde betalt.
Therefore, the Commission informed the GOC that it might have to resort to the use of facts available under Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation when examining the existence and the extent of the alleged subsidisation granted through export credit insurance.
Kommissionen tog til efterretning, at virksomheden kun eksporterede indirekte til Unionen.
In the reply to the Commission's letter as well as in the comments to the Information Document and to the final disclosure, the GOC objected to the application of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation regarding export credit insurance, by pointing to the fact that Sinosure had provided a questionnaire reply, and had answered to the Commission's questions during the on-spot verification.
Men virksomhedens påstand om, at den ikke behøvede en eksportkreditforsikring, og at den ikke kunne få godtgjort en forsikringspræmie, som den ikke havde betalt, var i modstrid med dokumentationen i sagen, hvoraf det fremgik, at virksomheden rent faktisk modtog en godtgørelse.
Sinosure indeed provided a questionnaire reply and representatives from Sinosure were present at the verification at the GOC's premises.
Virksomheden kunne ikke forklare, hvorfor den kinesiske regering skulle havde godtgjort en præmie, som den efter sigende ikke havde betalt.
However, as mentioned in recitals (142) and (143) above, the information provided was incomplete, and did not allow the Commission to draw conclusions on crucial parts of the investigation regarding export credit insurance, that is whether Sinosure is a public body and whether the premiums charged to the sampled companies were market conform.
Kommissionen bemærkede også, at definitionen af rettigheder og forpligtelser mellem virksomheden og dens forhandlere, der sælger til Unionen, ikke var klar.
The Commission thus concluded that it had to rely partially on facts available for its findings concerning export credit insurance.
Faktisk udførte virksomheden visse eksportformaliteter på vegne af de forhandlere, der solgte til Unionen i undersøgelsesperioden, og den fik fritagelser for importtold på naturgummi, der blev anvendt i eksporterede dæk, selv om den ikke direkte eksporterede disse.
Provision of inputs a less than adequate remuneration
Da der ikke forelå nye oplysninger om det modsatte fra virksomheden konkluderede Kommissionen, at virksomheden havde afgivet urigtige og ufuldstændige oplysninger om den eksportkreditforsikring, den havde fået i undersøgelsesperioden.
None of the producers of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black and nylon cord which had provided inputs to the sampled companies responded to the specific questionnaires forwarded by the GOC.
Kommissionen baserede sig derfor på de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger i forbindelse med sine undersøgelsesresultater vedrørende denne virksomheds eksportkreditforsikring, der bestod af det højeste subsidiebeløb for eksportkreditforsikring, der var blevet konstateret hos de andre virksomheder i stikprøven.
According to the GOC, it had no authority to demand information from the state-owned suppliers that did not reply to the questionnaire, as they operate independently of the GOC.
Anvendelsen af bestemmelserne i grundforordningens artikel 28, stk. 1, på en eksporterende producent for så vidt angår præferentiel finansiering
The Commission disagrees with this view.
Huaqin Rubber Industry Group og Yanzhou Yinhe Power Plant Co. Ltd. undlod at fremlægge fuldstændige oplysninger om deres låneaftaler.
In addition, the GOC refused to provide an overview with the names and the ownership structure of the Chinese producers of the inputs under investigation, claiming that this was confidential information.
Kommissionen underrettede derfor de pågældende virksomheder om, at den ville overveje at basere sine undersøgelsesresultater delvist på de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 28, stk. 1, for så vidt angik oplysningerne om disse aftaler.
Since the Commission had no information concerning the corporate governance of the state-owned producers which provided inputs to the sampled companies, and no company-specific information on the price setting of the inputs provided by the suppliers of inputs to the sampled companies, the Commission considered that it had not received crucial information relevant to this aspect of the investigation.
Som svar på Kommissionens brev, der oplyste de pågældende virksomheder om den mulige anvendelse af grundforordningens artikel 28, stk. 1, gjorde disse generelt indsigelse mod denne anvendelse.
Therefore, the Commission informed the GOC that it might have to resort to the use of facts available under Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation when examining the existence and the extent of the alleged subsidisation granted through the provision of inputs at less than adequate remuneration.
Da der imidlertid ikke blev indgivet supplerende dokumentation for de låneaftaler, der er omhandlet i betragtning 163, baserede Kommissionen sig fortsat delvist på de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger i forbindelse med sine undersøgelsesresultater vedrørende disse låneaftaler.
In the reply to the Commission's letter as well as in the comments to the Information Document, the GOC objected to the application of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation regarding the provision of inputs at less than adequate remuneration, for the same reasons as developed in recital (137) above.
Subsidier og subsidieordninger omfattet af undersøgelsens omfang
Concerning the GOC's lack of authority to request information from the producers, as well as the existence of an unreasonable burden imposed on the GOC, the Commission maintained its argumentation developed in recitals (138) and (140) above, which also applies to the suppliers of inputs to the sampled companies.
På grundlag af oplysningerne i klagen, i indledningsmeddelelsen og i besvarelserne af Kommissionens spørgeskema blev den påståede subsidiering i form af følgende subsidier fra den kinesiske regering undersøgt:
This missing information mainly concerns two aspects: first, information on the ownership and governance structure of the non-cooperating producers.
Præferencelån, kreditlinjer, kreditter til eksportsælgere og til købere af eksport, anden finansiering og garantier
Without such information the Commission could not determine whether these producers are public bodies or not.
Præferentiel eksportkreditforsikring
Second, company-specific information from the non-cooperating producers, such as e.g. information on the price setting of the inputs provided to the sampled companies.
Tilskudsordninger
Such information is necessary in the sense of Article 28 of the Basic Regulation in order to determine whether inputs had been provided at less than adequate remuneration to the sampled companies.
ordning i forbindelse med kendte mærker
Furthermore, such information could only be provided by the producers, and could thus not be supplied through the questionnaire replies of the sampled companies.
eksportstøtte, f.eks. belønninger til avancerede eksporterende virksomheder eller til eksportresultater, subsidier til forarbejdningsindustri og tilskud til investeringer i udlandet
The Commission thus maintained that it had to rely also on facts available for its findings concerning the provision of natural rubber, synthetic rubber, carbon black and nylon cord at less than adequate remuneration in accordance with Article 28(1).
tilskud til miljøbeskyttelse, som f.eks. en særlig fond for energisparende teknologireform, en teknologifond for ren produktion, incitamenter til miljøbeskyttelse og ressourcebevarelse
The application of the provisions of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation to one exporting producer in relation to export credit insurance
tilskud til teknologisk opgradering eller omstilling, f.eks. Statens subsidiefond for nøgleteknologiprojekter, fremme af FoU-opgaver i henhold til støtteplanerne for videnskab og teknologi, fremme af tilpasning af nøgleindustrier, revitalisering og teknologifornyelse,
Xingyuan Group reported in its questionnaire reply that it did not have any export credit insurance agreement during the investigation period.
ad hoc-subsidier fra de kommunale/regionale myndigheder
However, after the verification visit, the Commission found that the company had received grants in the form of refunds of export credit insurance premiums paid for the year 2016, thus covering the investigation period.
Indtægter, som der gives afkald på gennem ordninger for fritagelse for og nedsættelse af direkte skatter
The documents provided do not clarify whether such refunds represent the total or only part of the premium paid by the company for its export insurance.
EIT-fordele til høj- og nyteknologiske virksomheder
Under these circumstances, the Commission considered that it had received false or misleading information.
EIT-fradrag for FoU
Therefore, the Commission notified the company that it would consider basing its findings partially on facts available pursuant to Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation (i.e. as far as the information related to export credit insurance was concerned).
favorable skattepolitikker for den vestlige region
In the reply to the Commission's letter, the company objected to the application of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation regarding the export credit insurance.
skattefritagelse eller -nedsættelse i forbindelse med brugsrettigheder til jord
It claimed that as it did not export directly, it did not have any credit risks.
lokale skattelempelser
Therefore, the company did not need any export credit insurance and could not receive refunds of premiums which they had not paid.
Indtægter, som der gives afkald på gennem ordninger vedrørende indirekte skat og importtold
The Commission accepted that the company only exported indirectly to the EU.
momsfritagelse og nedsættelse af importtold for brugen af importeret udstyr og teknologi
However, the claim of the company that it did not need an export credit insurance and that it could not receive refunds for an insurance premium which it had not paid, was in contradiction with the evidence on the file, which showed that the company actually did receive a refund.
indrømmelse af fritagelse for import med henblik på forarbejdning af handel
The company failed to explain why the government would have provided a refund for a premium which had allegedly not been paid.
Statslig levering af varer og tjenesteydelser mod utilstrækkeligt vederlag
The Commission also noted that the definition of the rights and obligations between the company and its traders selling to the EU was not clear.
statslig levering af naturgummi mod utilstrækkeligt vederlag
In fact, the company did execute some export formalities on behalf of the traders selling to the EU during the investigation period, and it received import duty waivers for natural rubber used in exported tires, even though it did not export these directly.
statslig levering af syntetgummi mod utilstrækkeligt vederlag
In the absence of any new information to the contrary received from the company, the Commission concluded that the company had provided incorrect and incomplete information about the export credit insurance received in the investigation period.
statslig levering af kønrøg mod utilstrækkeligt vederlag
The Commission therefore relied on the facts available for its findings concerning export credit insurance for this company, which consisted of the highest subsidy amount concerning export credit insurance found in the other sampled companies.
statslig levering af nylonsnor mod utilstrækkeligt vederlag
The application of the provisions of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation to one exporting producer in relation to preferential financing
statslig levering af elektricitet mod utilstrækkeligt vederlag
Huaqin Rubber Industry Group and Yanzhou Yinhe Power Plant Co. Ltd failed to provide complete information about their loan agreements.
statslig indrømmelse af jord og brugsrettigheder til jord mod utilstrækkeligt vederlag.
Therefore, the Commission notified the companies in question that it would consider basing its findings partially on facts available pursuant to Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation (i.e. as far as the information related to these agreements was concerned).
Præferentiel finansiering og forsikring: lån
In the reply to the Commission's letter informing the companies in question of the possible application of Article 28(1) of the basic regulation, they objected to this application in general.
Ifølge oplysningerne fra de fire grupper af eksporterende producenter i stikprøven havde 32 finansielle institutioner med hjemsted i Kina ydet disse lån til dem.
However, since no additional evidence was submitted concerning the loan agreements mentioned in recital (163) above, the Commission continued to rely partly on facts available for its findings concerning these loan agreements.
Af disse 32 finansielle institutioner var 27 statsejede banker.
Subsidies and subsidy programmes within the scope of the current investigation
De resterende fem finansielle institutioner var privatejede.
On the basis of the information contained in the complaint, the Notice of Initiation and the replies to the Commission's questionnaire, the alleged subsidisation through the following subsidies by the GOC were investigated:
Der var imidlertid kun tre statsejede banker, der udfyldte det særlige spørgeskema, trods en anmodning til den kinesiske regering, der omfattede alle finansielle institutioner, som havde ydet lån til virksomhederne i stikprøven.
Preferential policy loans, credit lines, export sellers and export buyers credits, other financing, and guarantees;
Statsejede banker som offentlige organer.
Preferential Export credit insurance,
Kommissionen undersøgte, hvorvidt de statsejede banker fungerede som offentlige organer i henhold til grundforordningens artikel 3 og artikel 2, litra b).
Grant Programmes
I den henseende er den test, der anvendes for at fastslå, om et statsejet foretagende er et offentligt organ, som følger: »Det afgørende er, om en enhed har fået overdraget myndighed til at udøve statslige funktioner, snarere end hvordan dette opnås.
Famous Brand Programme;
Der er mange forskellige måder, hvorpå staten i snæver forstand vil kunne tildele enheder myndighed.
Export Assistance Grants, such as e.g. rewards for advanced exporting enterprises or export performance, reward for processing trade, grants for outward investment;
Følgelig kan forskellige former for beviser være relevante for at godtgøre, at en sådan myndighed er blevet tildelt en bestemt enhed.
Environmental Protection grants, such as e.g. Special fund for energy-saving technology reform, the clean production technology fund, incentives for Environmental Protection and Resource Conservation;
Dokumentation for, at en enhed faktisk udøver statslige funktioner kan tjene som bevis for, at den er i besiddelse af eller har fået overdraget statslig myndighed, navnlig når disse beviser tyder på en vedvarende og systematisk praksis.
Grants related to technological upgrading or transformation, such as e.g. State Key Technology Project Fund Subsidies, promotion of R & D tasks under Science and Technology Support Plans, Promotion of Key Industry Adjustment, Revitalisation and Technology Renovation;
Efter vores opfattelse er konsekvensen, at tegn på, at en stat udøver betydelig kontrol med en enhed og dennes ledelse, under særlige omstændigheder kan tjene som bevis for, at den pågældende enhed har statslig myndighed og udøver denne myndighed ved udøvelsen af statslige funktioner.
ad-hoc subsidies provided by the municipal/provincial authorities;
Kommissionen indhentede oplysninger om statens ejerskab samt formelle indicier for statslig kontrol i de statsejede banker.
Revenue foregone through Direct Tax Exemption and Reduction programmes
Den undersøgte også, om denne kontrol har været udøvet i betydeligt omfang.
EIT privileges for High and New Technology Enterprises;
Kommissionen måtte i den forbindelse delvist basere sig på de foreliggende faktiske oplysninger på grund af den kinesiske regerings og de statsejede bankers afslag på at fremlægge beviser for den beslutningsproces, der havde ført til præferencelånene.
EIT offset for research and development;
For at foretage denne analyse undersøgte Kommissionen først oplysninger for de tre statsejede banker, der havde udfyldt det særlige spørgeskema og havde tilladt kontrolbesøg på stedet.
Western Region preferential tax policies;
Samarbejdsvillige statsejede banker
Land Use Tax exemption or reduction;
Følgende tre statsejede banker indsendte en spørgeskemabesvarelse, der blev efterprøvet på stedet: EXIM, ABC og BOC.
Local tax discounts;
Den kinesiske regerings ejerskab og formelle indicier for kontrol
Revenue foregone through Indirect Tax and Import Tariff Programmes
Kommissionen fastslog ud fra oplysningerne i spørgeskemabesvarelsen og under kontrolbesøget, at den kinesiske regering enten direkte eller indirekte havde mere end 50 % af aktierne i hver enkelt af disse finansielle institutioner.
VAT exemptions and import tariff rebates for the use of imported equipment and technology;
Hvad angår de formelle indicier for statslig kontrol i forbindelse med de tre samarbejdsvillige statsejede banker, betegnede Kommissionen dem alle som »vigtige statsejede finansielle institutioner«.
Import tariff waivers for processing trade;
I meddelelsen Interim Regulations on the Board of Supervisors in Key State-owned Financial Institutions, fastsættes det bl.a., at: »De vigtige statsejede finansielle institutioner, der er omhandlet i disse forskrifter, henviser til statsejede banker, forretningsbanker, finansielle porteføljeadministrationsselskaber, værdipapirselskaber, forsikringsselskaber osv.
Government provision of goods and services for less than adequate remuneration (LTAR)
(»statsejede finansielle institutioner«), hvortil Statsrådet sender tilsynsråd.«
Government provision of natural rubber for less than adequate remuneration;
Tilsynsrådet i de vigtige statsejede finansielle institutioner udnævnes i henhold til de midlertidige forskrifter Interim Regulations of Board of Supervisors of State-owned Key Financial Institutions.
Government provision of synthetic rubber for less than adequate remuneration;
På grundlag af artikel 3 og 5 i disse midlertidige forskrifter fastslog Kommissionen, at medlemmerne af tilsynsrådet udsendes af og er ansvarlige over for Statsrådet, hvilket således illustrerer statens institutionelle kontrol med forretningsaktiviteterne i de samarbejdsvillige statsejede banker.
Government provision of carbon black for less than adequate remuneration;
Ud over disse generelle indicier har Kommissionen konstateret følgende med hensyn til de tre statsejede banker:
Government provision of nylon cord for less than adequate remuneration;
EXIM blev oprettet og opererer i henhold til meddelelsen The Notice of Establishing Export-Import Bank of China, der er udstedt af Statsrådet, og til vedtægterne for EXIM.
Government provision of power for less than adequate remuneration;
Ifølge vedtægterne udnævner staten direkte EXIM's ledelse.
Government provision of land and land-use rights for less than adequate remuneration.
Tilsynsrådet udnævnes af Statsrådet i overensstemmelse med Interim Regulations on the Boards of Supervisors in Key State-owned Financial Institutions (Statsrådets dekret nr. 282) og andre love og bestemmelser, og det er ansvarligt over for Statsrådet.
Preferential financing and insurance: loans
Det fremgår også af vedtægterne, at partikomitéen i EXIM spiller en ledende og politisk central rolle, der sikrer, at partiets og statens politikker og omfattende gennemførelse iværksættes af EXIM.
According to the information provided by the four sampled groups of exporting producers, 32 financial institutions located within the PRC had provided loans to them.
Partiets ledelse er integreret i alle aspekter af virksomhedsledelsen.
Of these 32 financial institutions, 27 were state-owned banks.
Som anført i artikel 137 i vedtægterne for ABC har den kinesiske regering, som hovedaktionær med 79,62 % af aktierne, bemyndigelse til at udpege alle direktørerne i bestyrelsen.
The 5 remaining financial institutions were privately owned.
Det samme gælder for tilsynsrådet i henhold til vedtægternes artikel 204.
However, only three state-owned banks filled in the specific questionnaire, despite a request to the GOC that covered all financial institutions which had provided loans to the sampled companies.
Ifølge ABC's vedtægter fastlægger bestyrelsen desuden strategien for banken, træffer afgørelse om bankens budget, træffer investeringsbeslutninger, udpeger formanden og sekretæren for bankens bestyrelse og fastlægger og kontrollerer bankens risikostyringssystem.
State-owned banks acting as public bodies
Denne ikke-udtømmende liste over ansvarsområder illustrerer statens institutionelle kontrol med ABC's daglige virksomhed.
The Commission ascertained whether the state-owned banks were acting as public bodies within the meaning of Articles 3 and 2 (b) of the basic Regulation.
Kommissionen konstaterede også, at de statsejede finansielle institutioner, herunder ABC og BOC, har ændret deres vedtægter i 2017 for at øge Kinas Kommunistiske Partis (»CCP's«) rolle på det højeste beslutningstagende niveau i bankerne.
The Commission sought information about State ownership as well as formal indicia of government control in the state-owned banks.
Det fremgår af de nye vedtægter, at:
It also analysed whether control had been exercised in a meaningful way.
formanden for bestyrelsen skal være samme person som sekretæren for partikomitéen,
For this purpose, the Commission had to partially rely on facts available due to the refusal of the GOC and the state owned banks to provide evidence on the decision making process that had led to the preferential lending.
CCP's rolle skal være at sikre og føre tilsyn med bankens gennemførelse af CCP's og statens politikker og retningslinjer og spille en rolle som leder og vogter i udnævnelsen af personale (herunder den øverste ledelse), og
In order to carry out this analysis, the Commission first examined information for the three state-owned banks that had filled in the specific questionnaire and allowed for verification.
partikomitéens udtalelser skal behandles af bestyrelsen i forbindelse med vedtagelsen af enhver vigtige beslutning.
Cooperating state-owned banks
Som anført i vedtægternes artikel 125 har den kinesiske regering, som hovedaktionær med 64,63 % af aktierne, bemyndigelse til at udpege både den administrerende direktør og de andre direktører i banken, som udgør bestyrelsen.
The following three state-owned banks provided a questionnaire reply, which was verified on site: EXIM, ABC, and BOC.
Ifølge BOC's vedtægter træffer bestyrelsen desuden bl.a. beslutning om den finansielle institutions strategiske principper, forretningsplaner og større investeringsplaner, udpeger eller afskediger ledende personale, som f.eks. formanden og sekretæren for bestyrelsen, næstformanden og andre ledende medarbejdere.
Ownership and formal indicia of control by the GOC
Bestyrelsen træffer endvidere beslutning om gennemførelsen af beslutninger på generalforsamlingen og godkender politikkerne vedrørende virksomhedsledelse.
Based on the information received in the questionnaire reply and during the verification visit, the Commission established that the GOC held, either directly or indirectly, more than 50 % of the shares in each of these financial institutions.
