Som vist i betragtning 823-834, bekræfter denne analyse, at EU-erhvervsgrenen generelt set led skade og at tendenserne for den pågældende vare, betragtet som helhed, generelt svarer til tendenserne for de enkelte segmenter.
the corresponding weighted average prices per product type and segment of the imports from the sampled Chinese exporting producers to the first independent customer on the Union market, established on a cost, insurance, freight (CIF) basis, with appropriate adjustments for customs duties and post-importation costs.
EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation analyseres på et aggregeret grundlag samt for visse mikroøkonomiske indikatorer også på segmentniveau i lyset af EU-markedets segmentering.
The price comparison was made on a type-by-type basis for transactions at the same level of trade, duly adjusted where necessary, and after deduction of rebates and discounts.
En række parter anmodede om yderligere oplysninger om den metode, der blev anvendt til at vægte forskellige kategorier af virksomheder (store virksomheder eller SMV'er) og opdelt efter segmenter, jf. betragtning 692 og 693.
The result of the comparison was expressed as a percentage of the sampled Union producers' turnover during the investigation period.
Vægtningsprocessen blev foretaget på grundlag af salgsmængden, da den er det relevante parameter ved overvejelsen af salgsprisen i Unionen med henblik på fastsættelse af produktionsomkostninger eller rentabilitet ved salg i Unionen til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder.
It showed a weighted average undercutting margin of between 18 % and 24 % by the imports of the product concerned from the country concerned on the Union market.
Ved udtagningen af stikprøven af EU-producenter var et af kriterierne EU-producenternes repræsentativitet med hensyn til størrelse, dvs. SMV'er og større virksomheder (jf. betragtning 29).
Moreover, the weighted average undercutting margin in the three tiers was found to be significant: between 18 % and 20 % for tier 1 and between 22 % and 24 % for tier 2 and tier 3.
Fem SMV'er blev udtaget til stikprøven.
The substantial level of undercutting demonstrates the pronounced effect of subsidized imports in this case.
En SMV besluttede at ophøre med at samarbejde i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
Several interested parties claimed that the price undercutting calculations should be established by analogy with the methodology used for the calculation of the dumping margin on the basis of a comparison of a weighted average sales prices per product type and segment of the sampled Union producers charged to unrelated customers with a weighted average of prices of all comparable export transactions.
Fire besvarede stikprøvespørgeskemaet.
After final disclosure, several parties reiterated similar claims.
Desuden tog Kommissionen hensyn til bemærkninger fra interesserede parter, der mente, at markedssegmenteringen i tre segmenter skulle afspejles i stikprøven af EU-producenter (jf. betragtning 25).
Moreover, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the Commission should adjust the Chinese prices upwards or the Union prices for retreaded tyres downwards to ensure that the prices compared reflect a similar mileage and for after sales and warranty services provided by the Union producers selling retreaded tyres, in particular for tier 3 as the Chinese producers did not provide such services.
De samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter fremlagde yderligere oplysninger som forklaret i betragtning 26.
After the final disclosure, the parties reiterated similar claims.
Kommissionen udtog en stikprøve på elleve EU-producenter.
As explained in recitals (658) and (659), the methodology of the price undercutting comparison considered the average sales price per product type (PCN) and per segment.
Dette er et usædvanligt stort antal EU-producenter, der skal undersøges.
The price undercutting was calculated on the basis of comparable transactions by reference to the product type or type-by-type.
Til trods for denne indsats var det imidlertid nødvendigt at vægte SMV'ernes resultater pr. segment, før der kunne foretages en egentlig analyse af den deraf følgende aggregering af de mikroøkonomiske skadesindikatorer.
As within each tier, the tyres are considered similar in terms of mileage, no overall adjustment was thus needed.
Opdelingen i segmenter af de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenters og de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenters salg var næsten den samme: mellem 60 % og 70 % for segment 1, mellem 15 % og 25 % i segment 2 og mellem 10 % og 20 % i segment 3.
The same is true for warranty services, with the exception of tier 3, whereby in contrast to the Chinese producers, the Union producers may indeed provide after sales and warranty services.
SMV'er tegnede sig for mellem 7 % og 10 % af det samlede EU-salg, der blev indberettet af de samarbejdsvillige EU-producenter.
Consequently, the Commission adjusted the prices of the sampled Union producers for after-sales and warranty services for tier 3 when necessary.
EU-producenterne i stikprøven fremstiller desuden nye og regummierede dæk i segment 2 og 3.
The undercutting and the underselling margins were established without any weighting within the meaning of recital (692) below.
Ca. halvdelen af salget for stikprøven i segment 3 er regummierede dæk.
Regarding the claim on the analogy between dumping and injury calculations, the Commission noted that the dumping calculations indeed require to take ‘all comparable export transactions’ into account when calculating dumping margins for the like product as a whole.
Det første trin omfattede et skøn over fordelingen mellem store virksomheders og SMV'ers salg.
By contrast, ‘an investigating authority is not required […] to establish the existence of price undercutting for each of the product types under investigation, or with respect to the entire range of goods making up the domestic like product.
Vurderingen af SMV'ernes salg var baseret på oplysningerne fra ETRMA (den kolde proces) og leverandører af slidbaner, der ikke er medlem af ETRMA Europool.
That said, an investigating authority is under an obligation to examine objectively the effect of the dumped imports on domestic prices’.
I forbindelse med denne undersøgelse blev det vurderet, at SMV'erne anvender den kolde proces og de store producenter den varme proces.
In the case at hand, the Commission was satisfied with the very high level of matching between the Union producers' and the exporting producers' product types sold on the Union market (the overall matching is ranging between 80 % and 90 %).
Dette er en konservativ tilgang til at anslå SMV'ernes salg, da Kommissionen efterprøvede en SMV-producent, der anvendte begge teknikker.
The CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the Commission should disclose further information about the physical characteristics of the tyre types that were used for comparison purposes as it is highly likely that there are differences that are not reflected in the PCNs but which merit an adjustment.
Skønnet over store virksomheders salg er forskellen mellem EU-producenternes samlede salg i Unionen minus skønnet over SMV-salget.
They claimed that they were simply unable to identify such differences as they have no information about the products sold by the sampled Union producers.
Kommissionen konstaterede, at SMV'ernes salg udgjorde ca. 15 % af EU-erhvervsgrenens samlede salg i Unionen i 2016 (som nævnt ovenfor var dette et konservativt skøn, da nogle SMV'er også bruger varme regummieringsprocesser).
The parties further argued that the WTO Appellate Body Report in EC – Fasteners supports this approach.
Som følge heraf blev andelen fastsat til ca. 85 % for store virksomheder og ca. 15 % for SMV'er.
The Commission did not accept this argument.
Andet trin var at sammenligne forholdet på 85 %/15 % med forholdet i stikprøven (hvor store virksomheder tegnede sig for over 95 %).
It pointed out that the Appellate Body Report mentioned above is about a failure to provide the necessary information regarding the characteristics of a given product, which was used for determining the normal value.
Desuden udgjorde salget for SMV'erne i stikprøven ca. 4 % af det samlede salg i Unionen for SMV-producenter i Unionen.
This led to a situation in which the producers were not in a position to decide about the necessity to request level of trade adjustments or not in order to ensure a fair comparison under Article 2(10) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation in the context of dumping calculations.
For at sikre en korrekt afspejling af den relative betydning af de to kategorier af EU-producenter i de mikroøkonomiske indikatorer vægtede Kommissionen de individuelle indikatorer for virksomhederne, når den aggregerede på grundlag af ovennævnte forhold på 85 %/15 %.
However, the Panel report in the same case stated that ‘while it is clear that the general requirements of objective examination and positive evidence of Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation limit an investigating authority's discretion in the conduct of a price undercutting analysis, this does not mean that the requirements of Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation with respect to due allowance for differences affecting price comparability are applicable’.
Metoden medførte en stigning i vægten af det salg af varer i segment 3, der anvendtes til at fastlægge de mikroøkonomiske indikatorer.
Therefore, this jurisprudence cannot be relied upon in the present case where the CRIA and the CCCMC make speculations about the absence of disclosure of information about ‘any other relevant characteristics’ and differences not reflected in the PCNs for the purpose of undercutting and injury calculations.
CRIA og CCCMC hævdede, at Kommissionen ikke bør anvende en fast sats (dvs. en sats, der beregnes for 2016) i den betragtede periode, men snarere en sats for hver periode i den betragtede periode.
Furthermore, the Commission carried out the undercutting calculation in line with its usual methodology which ensures a fair comparison whereby PCNs sufficiently reflect physical and all other differences between the product types sold by the Union producers and the exporting producers.
De hævdede desuden, at en række store producenter af slidbaner fremstillede regummierede dæk ved hjælp af den kolde proces, og at to producenter af regummierede dæk indgik i en større gruppe, hvilket indebærer, at de kan anses for at være store virksomheder.
Moreover, should the exporting producers consider that their products have specific features that are different to the characteristics of the Union products and which, in their view, are not captured by the PCN, they should have made such claims in due course, which was not the case.
Derfor hævdede parterne, at den anvendte metode ikke kunne betragtes som konservativ, og at SMV'ernes salgsmængde var overvurderet.
Some interested parties claimed the Commission did not establish undercutting for the whole period considered.
Bipaver hævdede, at den varme proces ikke kun benyttes af én regummieringsvirksomhed, men af en række regummieringsvirksomheder i Unionen.
A detailed undercutting calculation was only made for the investigation period.
For det første undersøgte Kommissionen påstandene og de beviser, som parterne har fremlagt.
While average Chinese import prices in previous periods can be compared with sales prices by the Union industry, such a comparison is essentially meaningless and inaccurate as (i) no separate data are available for Chinese import prices by tier; and (ii) these average prices do not take into account the possibility that the product mix may have changed during the period.
Den konstaterede, at visse store leverandører af slidbaner har forretningsmæssigt forbundne dattervirksomheder, der producerer regummierede dæk ved hjælp af den kolde proces.
The WTO Appellate Body Report in China – HP-SSST (EU) requested that an investigating authority has to assess the significance of the price undercutting by the dumped imports in relation to the proportion of domestic production for which no price undercutting was found.
De to producenter, som indledningsvis blev betragtet som SMV'er, og som parterne henviser til, var del af en større gruppe og kunne således ikke betragtes som SMV'er.
The parties considered that the Commission did not carry out such assessment.
Kommissionen justerede derfor de satser, der anvendtes til vægtningen.
As stated in recital (658), the Commission performed in accordance with the applicable jurisprudence the calculations on the basis of the verified data for the investigation period, per PCN and tiers.
De store leverandører og SMV'erne fremlagde oplysninger om deres salg i den betragtede periode.
All relevant calculations were disclosed to the interested parties respecting their procedural rights.
Den samlede, indberettede mængde er på omkring: 2014: 254000, 2015: 227000, 2016: 240000 og undersøgelsesperioden: 250000 regummierede dæk, hvilket udgør ca. 5,5 % af det anslåede salg af regummierede dæk i den betragtede periode.
The overall level of price undercutting during the investigation period was around 21 %, which the Commission considers significant.
Hvad angår SMV'ernes salg af dæk fremstillet ved den varme proces, fandt Kommissionen for det andet, at mere end en SMV producerer regummierede dæk ved hjælp af den varme proces.
The CRIA and the CCCMC, however, considered that it is likely that the Commission only found undercutting for a small subset of sales by the sampled Union producers.
Den anmodede nogle få producenter om at forelægge oplysninger om den mængde dæk, der er fremstillet ved hjælp af den varme proces i den betragtede periode.
In their view, the Commission has to assess the price pressure, if any, that could be exercised by the Chinese imports on the remaining Union industry sales for which it did not find undercutting.
Den samlede, indberettede mængde er på omkring: 2014: 149000, 2015: 152000, 2016: 138000 og undersøgelsesperioden: 132000 regummierede dæk, hvilket udgør ca. 3,2 % af det anslåede salg af regummierede dæk i den betragtede periode.
That claim was rejected because the volume of sales of the sampled Union producers that matched the imports of the Chinese exporting producers is significant (between 80 % and 90 %).
For det tredje foretog Kommissionen en ny beregning af SMV'ernes anslåede salg i den betragtede periode ved at tilføje SMV'ernes salg af dæk fremstillet ved hjælp af den varme proces og fratrække de store virksomheders salg af dæk fremstillet ved hjælp af den kolde proces.
Moreover, the weighted average undercutting margin in the three tiers was found to be significant, between 18 % and 24 %.
Endelig beregnede Kommissionen andelen af SMV'ernes salg i det samlede salg i Unionen for hver periode i den betragtede periode:
The China National Tire Group and Heuver requested that the Aeolus' CIF prices should be revised in order to reflect Heuver's post-importation costs.
Tabel 5
Pirelli claimed that the Commission must take its additional costs into account when comparing the Pirelli tyres to other tyres produced and sold by the Union industry and to the (independent) retailers.
SMV'ernes salg som andel af det samlede EU-salg (%)
The Commission found that Heuver was not related to the China National Tire Group.
Procentsats anvendt i den endelige fase for SMV'ernes salg som andel af det samlede EU-salg
Therefore, no adjustment was warranted.
Procentsats anvendt i den foreløbige fase for SMV'ernes salg som andel af det samlede EU-salg
Regarding Pirelli, the CIF weighted average price was established in accordance with Article 2(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation as described in recital (118) of the provisional anti-dumping Regulation.
Som det fremgår af tabel 5, er vægten af SMV'ernes salg som andel af det samlede EU-salg i den betragtede periode blevet forhøjet med 2,3 procentpoint i 2014 og med 0,7 procentpoint i 2015 samt reduceret med 0,9 procentpoint i 2016 og 1,4 procentpoint i undersøgelsesperioden.
As explained in recitals (673) to (678) below, the Commission found it appropriate to apply Article 2(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation by analogy to the undercutting and underselling calculations in anti-subsidy cases in view of the Declaration on Dispute Settlement Pursuant to the Agreement on Implementation of Article VI of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade 1994 or Part V of the Agreement on SCM, which suggests a consistent treatment of both anti-dumping and anti-subsidy cases.
Som det fremgår af tabel 2, har anvendelsen af en særlig sats for hvert år i den betragtede periode ingen indvirkning på konklusionerne på grundlag af tendenserne i den indledende fase, som forbliver gyldige for segment 3.
Several parties claimed that the Commission cannot rely on constructed export prices when making the price undercutting analysis and the determination of the injury level and that the methodology used is contrary of Article 8(1)(a) and Article 8(2) of the basic Regulation.
Kommissionen konkluderede, at fastsættelsen af en sats pr. år har en marginal indvirkning på det samlede resultat af analysen.
Moreover, the Hankook Group claimed that it should be treated as a single economic entity for the injury margin calculations.
På grundlag af ovenstående forbliver de konklusioner, der er baseret på tendenserne i den foreløbige fase, gyldige.
Firstly, Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation refers to the effect of subsidized imports that may cause injury to the Union producers and not to the resale price of a company (related importer) within the Union to another customer.
Undersøgelsen afslørede ingen oplysninger, der ville have været mere hensigtsmæssige og således kunne have blevet været brugt til at beregne vægtningen af segmenterne i hele den betragtede periode, og ingen interesserede parter har været i stand til at fremlægge sådanne oplysninger.
Secondly, as far as undercutting is concerned, the basic Regulation does not provide any specific methodology of such calculations.
Derfor besluttede Kommissionen sig for ikke at anvende den anden justering opdelt efter segmenter i den endelige fase.
The Commission therefore enjoys a wide margin of discretion in assessing this injury factor.
Denne tilgang har øget vægtningen af segment 1 og 2 i forbindelse med fastlæggelsen af de mikroøkonomiske indikatorer.
That discretion is limited by the need to base conclusions on positive evidence and to make an objective examination, as requested by Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.
CRIA og CCCMC hævdede, at vægtningsprocessen var ulovlig, da grundforordningen ikke tillod ændringer i stikprøven af EU-producenter, som angiveligt er repræsentativ for hele EU-erhvervsgrenen.
When it comes to the elements taken into account for calculation of undercutting (in particular the export price), the Commission has to identify the first point at which competition takes (or may take) place with Union producers in the Union market.
De hævdede desuden, at Kommissionens metode ikke var i overensstemmelse med kravet om at basere fastsættelsen af skade på positive beviser med henblik på at gennemføre en objektiv undersøgelse, da et meget begrænset antal virksomheder i sidste ende var afgørende for hele resultatet af skadesvurderingen på bekostning af et meget større datasæt, hvis betydning nedtones.
This point is in fact the purchasing price of the first unrelated importer because that company has in principle the choice to source either from the Union industry or from overseas customers.
CCCMC og CRIA hævdede desuden, at Kommissionen ikke kan anvende oplysningerne fra de fire SMV'er i stikprøven, som ville være udgangspunkt for vægtning af skadesindikatorerne.
By contrast, to look at resale prices of unrelated importers does not reflect the point where real competition takes place.
Efter den endelige fremlæggelse af oplysninger hævdede CRIA og CCCMC, at Kommissionen ikke havde taget stilling til, om metoden til den første justering var uhensigtsmæssig.
This is only the point where the established sales structure of the exporter tries to find customers but it is already after the point where the decision to import has been taken.
Parterne hævdede, at Kommissionen burde have opgivet sin fremgangsmåde.
Indeed, once the exporter has established its system of related companies in the Union, they have already decided that the source of their merchandise will be from overseas.
Kommissionen mindede om den anvendte metode i betragtning 699-714.
Hence, the point of comparison should be right after the good crosses the Union border, and not at a later stage in the distribution chain, e.g. when selling to the final user of the good.
Kommissionen gentog desuden, at som følge af vægtningen blev den udtagne stikprøve statistisk set mere repræsentativ for EU-erhvervsgrenen som helhed i overensstemmelse med gældende WTO- og EU-retspraksis.
This approach also ensures coherence in cases where an exporting producer is selling the goods directly to an unrelated customer (whether importer or final user) because under this scenario, resale prices would not be used by definition.
Desuden blev det derved muligt for Kommissionen at tage bedre hensyn til resultaterne for de EU-producenter, der ikke indgik i stikprøven (SMV'er og store producenter), som ellers ikke i tilstrækkelig grad ville blive afspejlet i skadesindikatorerne, hvis Kommissionen havde baseret sine konklusioner på stikprøven uden at anvende vægtningen i den foreliggende sag.
A different approach would lead to discrimination between exporting producers based solely on the sales channel that they use.
På grund af EU-erhvervsgrenens fragmenterede karakter kunne Kommissionen ikke blot se bort fra betydningen af SMV-producenter på EU-markedet.
Moreover, this approach also ensures consistent results in cases of parallel anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigations.
De efterprøvede SMV'ers data tegner sig for ca. 4 % af SMV'ernes anslåede samlede produktion i den betragtede periode.
In this case, the import price cannot be taken at face value because the exporting producer and the importer are related.
Kommissionen baserede sine konklusioner på de efterprøvede oplysninger fra virksomhederne i stikprøven, og den anvendte vægtningen for at afspejle den relative betydning af de to kategorier af virksomheder.
Therefore, in order to establish a reliable import price at arm's length basis, such price has to be constructed by using the resale price of the related importer to the first independent customer as a starting point.
De oplysninger, der blev anvendt, var tilgængelige i det åbne dossier og er om nødvendigt behørigt efterprøvet.
In order to carry out this reconstruction, the rules on the construction of the export price as contained in Article 2(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation are pertinent, and are applied by analogy, just as they are pertinent for the determination of the export price for dumping purposes.
Kommissionen fandt derfor, at den havde foretaget en objektiv undersøgelse af, om der forelå skade, på grundlag af positiv beviser.
The application by analogy of Article 2(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation allows arriving at a price that is fully comparable to the CIF price (Union border) that is used when examining sales made to unrelated customers.
Som det fremgår af betragtning 697, analyseres EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation på et aggregeret grundlag samt for visse mikroøkonomiske indikatorer på segmentniveau i lyset af EU-markedets segmentering.
Moreover, the Xingyuan Group claimed that these fixed costs should be allocated as a fixed amount per tyre instead of a percentage, which will unfairly penalise exporters whose prices are at the lower end of the scale.
En række interesserede parter påstod, at den segmentopdelte skadesanalyse bør tage hensyn til alle indikatorer for skade og årsagssammenhæng.
The Commission noted that it increased the CIF value by 3,2 % for post-importation costs (of which transport represented 60 %, handling 32 % and customs expenses 8 %).
De henviste til appelorganets rapport i United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan.
The percentages were calculated on the basis of verified post-importation costs per piece and were subsequently expressed into a percentage of the CIF price of the verified unrelated importers.
