Anmodningen skal rettes til Kommissionen.
The Commission concluded that measures would not be in the interest of importers who predominantly rely on the import of very cheap Chinese tyres.
Hvis ændringen af virksomhedens navn ikke påvirker dens ret til at benytte den toldsats, der gælder for virksomheden, offentliggøres der en meddelelse om navneændringen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
Interest of suppliers
For at minimere risikoen for omgåelse som følge af den store forskel på toldsatserne er der behov for særlige foranstaltninger, som kan sikre anvendelsen af den individuelle told.
Treads suppliers have made submissions supporting the imposition of anti-subsidy measures alleging such measures are essential for the survival of the retreading industry.
Virksomheder med individuel told skal fremlægge en gyldig handelsfaktura for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder.
Without retreading activities, their business will be severely affected.
Fakturaen skal overholde kravene i artikel 1, stk. 3.
The Commission concluded that measures would be in the interest of treads suppliers.
Import, der ikke er ledsaget af en sådan faktura, bør være underlagt den told, der finder anvendelse på »alle andre virksomheder«.
Other interests
For at sikre en korrekt håndhævelse af udligningstolden bør toldsatsen for alle andre virksomheder ikke blot anvendes på de ikke samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producenter, men også på de producenter, der ikke foretog eksport til Unionen i undersøgelsesperioden.
It is a long-standing Union policy to reduce waste and to manage raw materials in a sustainable way.
I lyset af Domstolens seneste praksis er det hensigtsmæssigt at fastsætte de morarenter, der skal betales i tilfælde af tilbagebetaling af en endelig told, fordi de pågældende bestemmelser vedrørende told ikke fastsætter en sådan rente, og anvendelsen af nationale regler ville føre til urimelige konkurrenceforvridninger mellem de erhvervsdrivende alt efter, hvilken medlemsstat der er valgt til toldbehandlingen.
Indeed, Union policy is in fact two-fold: it concerns waste avoidance and encourages recycling.
FORANSTALTNINGERNES FORM
Moreover, there is a horizontal policy goal to encourage the presence of small and medium sized enterprises in the Union market.
Kommissionen konstaterede, at der er to store ulemper ved værditolden.
Retreading is crucial for a virtuous circular economy.
For det første skaber en værditold et incitament til, at virksomheder sælger den billige del af deres varesortiment.
In addition to guaranteeing a high standard of reliability, performance and safety, retreads represent a great advantage also from an environmental point of view (less use of raw materials and energy, less production of CO2, pollution and less water consumption).
Dette ville skabe et yderligere pres i segment 3, og det er netop dette segment af markedet, der har størst behov for beskyttelse mod hård, unfair konkurrence.
This would therefore also contribute to the achievement of such larger societal goals, goals recognised by specific Union policies.
Kommissionen fandt det derfor mere hensigtsmæssigt at fastsætte en told for dæk i segment 3 på et bestemt absolut niveau.
Several interested parties underlined that premium tyre manufacturers are producing new high quality tyres which are designed to have along life cycle and can be retreaded.
For det andet kan en værditold også blive til et forholdsvist stort beløb for dæk i de høje prissegmenter 1 og 2.
Without the retreading industry, the competition in the tyre industry will end up in a race to the bottom, resulting in industrial depletion, loss of value throughout the supply chain and minimize the quality of the offer in the Union.
Her er der en risiko for, at disse dæk af høj kvalitet ville blive for dyre, og det er netop disse dæk, der ville være til gavn for Unionens regummieringsindustri.
AIRP stated that the retreading activity is an example of a circular economy as the retreading of a single tyre compared with the production of a new tire uses 70 % less raw materials, 65 % less energy and 19 % less water, produces 37 % less CO2 and 21 % less air pollution (particles), and causes 29 % less soil erosion in countries where natural rubber is produced.
Unionens regummieringsvirksomheder har brug for passende karkasser, der enten kommer fra EU-producenter af dæk i segment 1 eller 2, eller fra nogle kinesiske eksportører i dette segment.
Moreover, the retreading industry currently prevents the creation of around 240000 tons of worn-out tires yearly.
Hvis foranstaltningerne sanktionerer import til Unionen i segment 1 og 2 for hårdt, kan det have negative virkninger for Unionens politiske mål om en cirkulær økonomi.
Accordingly, measures that protect high quality tyres in the Union that are retreadable imposed against essentially one-use-tyres would also contribute to the avoidance of waste in line with the objectives of the Waste Directive, as they would support the maintenance of a viable retreading business in the Union.
Kommissionen har derfor foreløbigt konkluderet, at det er i Unionens interesse at indføre faste toldsatser pr. enhed, beregnet på grundlag af den individuelle skadesmargen for hver eksportør.
According to studies carried out by AIRP, Italy saves an average of 30 million litres of crude oil annually through retreading, as well as over 20000 tons of other strategic raw materials such as natural and synthetic rubber, black smoke, textile fibres, steel and copper, besides reducing CO2 emission by 10202 tons.
Disse faste toldsatser ville mindske risikoen for en utilstrækkelig imødegåelse af den subsidiering, der finder sted i segment 3, eftersom dæk i segment 3 importeres til Unionen i store mængder, og der ville skulle betales en forholdsvis høj fast toldsats i forhold til deres faktiske værdi.
According to the same studies, each retreaded tyre reduces CO2 emissions by 26,5 kg.
Samtidig ville sådanne toldsatser tage hensyn til risikoen for at ramme import til Unionen i segment 1 og 2 for hårdt, idet disse dæk kan regummieres af EU-regummieringsvirksomheder.
Accordingly, measures that protect high quality tyres in the Union that are retreadable imposed against essentially single-use-tyres would also foster policy coherence with the Union objectives on waste reduction and circular economy, as they would support the maintenance of a viable retreading business in the Union.
Alt i alt fandt Kommissionen det hensigtsmæssigt at indføre en endelig told i form af en fast toldsats.
Moreover, given that mostly SMEs are active in this sector, they would also be in line with the important Commission objective to support these companies.
FREMLÆGGELSE AF OPLYSNINGER
Conclusion on Union interest
Interesserede parter blev underrettet om de vigtigste kendsgerninger og betragtninger, på grundlag af hvilke det var hensigten at anbefale indførelse af en endelig udligningstold på importen af visse dæk, nye eller regummierede, af den art, der anvendes til busser og lastbiler, med belastningsevne over 121, med oprindelse i Kina.
The effects of the anti-subsidy measures on the Union producers would be positive.
Foranstaltningerne i denne forordning er i overensstemmelse med den positive udtalelse fra det udvalg, der er nedsat i medfør af artikel 25, stk. 1, i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) 2016/1037 —
In spite of the claims of a potential negative impact on Union importers, the duty would still not be disproportionate in view of global effects on the whole Union industry.
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
In fact, it is considered that the free available capacity in the Union industry and the imports from other countries would mitigate the risks by offering alternative sources of supply.
Artikel 1
The restoration of fair competition and of a level playing field, in the absence of subsidized imports, would benefit the healthy development of the overall Union tyre market and foster policy coherence with the objectives of a circular economy, waste avoidance and the protection of SMEs in the Union.
Der indføres en endelig udligningstold på importen af visse dæk, nye eller regummierede, af gummi, af den art, der anvendes til busser og lastbiler, med belastningsevne over 121, i øjeblikket henhørende under KN-kode 40112090 og ex40121200 (Taric-kode 4012120010) og med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina.
On those grounds, there are no compelling reasons against the imposition of measures on imports of tyres for buses and lorries from the PRC.
Den endelige udligningstold (EUR pr. enhed) på den vare, der er beskrevet i stk. 1, og som er produceret af nedenstående virksomheder, fastsættes til følgende:
Following final disclosure Hämmerling claimed that the imposition of anti-subsidy duties is not within the Union interest under Article 31 of basic Regulation.
Virksomhed
It cited the Commission's conclusion set out in the previous recital and opined that ‘such dismissive approach’ could not be accepted.
Endelig udligningstold
However, as Hämmerling failed to present any argument or additional evidence about clearly disproportionate high costs for importers stemming from the measure, which could suggest that the weighing of competing interests would have to be revised, the Commission rejected this claim.
Taric-tillægskode
Therefore, the imposition of anti-subsidy measures can be expected to enable the Union industry to stay in the market and following that to improve its situation.
Xingyuan Tire Group Ltd, Co. Guangrao Xinhongyuan Tyre Co., Ltd.
There is a high risk that should measure not be imposed, the Union industry would have to consider withdrawing from the retreaded tyre business in the medium term, resulting in inevitable job losses – as has already occurred with the closure of dozens of SMEs as set out in recital (729).
Giti Tire (Anhui) Company Ltd; Giti Tire (Fujian) Company, Ltd Giti Tire (Hualin) Company Ltd Giti Tire (Yinchuan) Company, Ltd.
From the perspective of importers or users, no compelling reasons were identified against the imposition of anti-subsidy measures on imports of tyres for buses and lorries originating from the PRC at this stage of the investigation.
Aeolus Tyre Co., Ltd; Aeolus Tyre (Taiyuan) Co., Ltd.
There are no compelling reasons under Article 31 of the basic Regulation that it would not be in the interest of the Union to impose measures.
Qingdao Yellow Sea Rubber Co., Ltd Pirelli Tyre Co, Ltd.
DEFINITIVE ANTI-SUBSIDY MEASURES
Chongqing Hankook Tire Co., Ltd Jiangsu Hankook Tire Co., Ltd.
On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on subsidy, injury, causation and Union interest, definitive anti-subsidy measures should be imposed.
Se bilag I
Injury elimination level (Injury margin)
Se bilag II
To determine the level of the measures, the Commission first established the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Anvendelsen af de individuelle udligningstoldsatser, der er fastsat for de i stk. 2 eller i bilag I eller II anførte virksomheder, er betinget af, at der fremlægges en gyldig handelsfaktura for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder; handelsfakturaen skal indeholde en erklæring der er dateret og underskrevet af én af de ansatte i den enhed, der har udstedt handelsfakturaen, med angivelse af den pågældendes navn og funktion og med følgende ordlyd: »Undertegnede bekræfter, at (antal enheder) af (den pågældende vare), der er solgt til eksport til Den Europæiske Union, og som er omfattet af denne faktura, er fremstillet af (virksomhedens navn og adresse) (Taric-tillægskode) i Folkerepublikken Kina.
The injury would be eliminated if the Union industry was able to cover its costs of production and to obtain a profit before tax on sales of the like product in the Union market that could be reasonably achieved under normal conditions of competition by an industry of this type in the sector, namely in the absence of subsidised imports.
Jeg erklærer, at oplysningerne i denne faktura er fuldstændige og korrekte.« Hvis der ikke fremlægges en sådan faktura, anvendes den toldsats, der gælder for »alle andre virksomheder«.
This target profit was established on the basis of the profit reached by the Union industry in 2014.
Hvis der ikke fremlægges en sådan faktura, anvendes toldsatsen for »alle andre virksomheder«.
However, the approach used at the preliminary stage of one target profit for all tiers would have the effect of overprotecting the Union producers from the subsidized imports of tier 3 tyres, which could not reach the stipulated target profit for the industry as a whole.
De morarenter, der skal betales i tilfælde af tilbagebetaling, der giver anledning til retten til betaling af morarenter, er den sats, der anvendes af Den Europæiske Centralbank til dennes vigtigste refinansieringstransaktioner, som er offentliggjort i C-udgaven af Den Europæiske Unions Tidende, der er gældende den første kalenderdag i den måned, hvor fristen udløber, forhøjet med tre og et halvt procentpoint.
Therefore, the Commissions should use the profitability of each tier to calculate the non-injurious price and the injury margin for a proper application of the lesser duty rule.
Artikel 2
The Commission accepted the claim.
I Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/1579 foretages følgende ændringer:
It considered that is more appropriate to establish target profits per tier in this particular case because the form of the measures is a fixed duty per tyre, which in turn is based on an injury margin derived from a product control number per tier.
Artikel 1, stk. 2 og 3, affattes således:
Therefore, it revised the target profit to 17,9 % for tier 1, 17,9 % for tier 2 and 6,1 % for tier 3.
Den endelige antidumpingtold (EUR pr. enhed) på den vare, der er beskrevet i stk. 1, og som er produceret af nedenstående virksomheder, fastsættes til følgende:
The Giti Group claimed that 2014, which is used as a basis for the target profit, was an abnormal year because the profitability for tier 1 and tier 2 were the same whereas they differed in the next two years.
Endelig antidumpingtold
The Commission recalled that it is bound to establish a target profit by identifying a year that resembles most to normal conditions of competition undistorted by subsidised imports.
Taric-tillægskode
Against that yardstick, 2014 amounts to the year with lowest volumes and market share of subsidised imports, as compared to 2015 or 2016 and the latter should therefore be excluded.
Andre samarbejdsvillige virksomheder, der er opført i bilaget
Likewise, the Commission could not resort to years prior to 2014 as no verified information existed for those years.
Andre samarbejdsvillige virksomheder, der er opført i bilaget
Some interested parties (the complainant, Tyre Specialists of Finland, Italian Tyre Retreaders Association, Bipaver, VIPAL, Portuguese Association of Retreading Industries, Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk) considered that the target profit of 6,1 % for tier 3 used in the disclosure of the parallel anti-dumping investigation was too low to address the injury suffered by the retreaders and that a profit rate of around 10 % achieved before the surge of imports was warranted.
Anvendelsen af de individuelle toldsatser, der er anført for virksomhederne i stk. 2 eller i bilag I eller II, er betinget af, at der fremlægges en gyldig handelsfaktura for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder; handelsfakturaen skal indeholde en erklæring, der er dateret og underskrevet af én af de ansatte i den enhed, der har udstedt handelsfakturaen, med angivelse af den pågældendes navn og funktion og med følgende ordlyd: »Undertegnede bekræfter, at (antal enheder) af (den pågældende vare), der er solgt til eksport til Den Europæiske Union, og som er omfattet af denne faktura, er fremstillet af (virksomhedens navn og adresse) (Taric-tillægskode) i Folkerepublikken Kina.
The Commission recalled that the tier 3 tyre market is identifiable by the particular presence of retreaded and new tyres, which actively compete against each other for market share.
Jeg erklærer, at oplysningerne i denne faktura er fuldstændige og korrekte.« Hvis der ikke fremlægges en sådan faktura, anvendes den toldsats, der gælder for »alle andre virksomheder««.
As preliminarily established in recital (824), unsustainable levels of losses in the retreading industry put the survival of the entire retreading activity in the Union at risk.
Artikel 2 affattes således:
As further preliminarily established in recital (868), these losses also affect the profitability that the companies active in tiers 1 and 2 can achieve.
»Artikel 1, stk. 2, ændres ved at tilføje den nye eksporterende producent til listen over virksomheder, som fremgår af tabellen og er omfattet af en individuel toldsats, der ikke overstiger den toldsats, der gælder for de virksomheder, der samarbejdede i forbindelse med antidumpingundersøgelsen men ikke i forbindelse med antisubsidieundersøgelsen, hvis en ny eksporterende producent i Folkerepublikken Kina over for Kommissionen fremlægger tilstrækkelige beviser for, at:
These findings are to be seen in light of the clear Union interest for the existence of a strong retreading industry, as established in recital (153).
denne ikke eksporterede den i artikel 1, stk. 1 omhandlede vare til Unionen i perioden mellem 1. juli 2016 og 30. juni 2017 (»undersøgelsesperioden«)
The Commission accordingly decided to assess the claim that the profitability of 6,1 % reached in 2014 for tier 3, as noted in the Final Disclosure Document, would not adequately ensure the survival of the retreading activity in the Union.
denne ikke er forretningsmæssigt forbundet med nogen anden eksportør eller producent i Folkerepublikken Kina, der ved denne forordning er pålagt antidumpingforanstaltninger
For that, it decided to look at the profitability levels achieved by companies active in that tier for year 2014, on the basis of the data received in the verified questionnaire replies.
denne faktisk har eksporteret den pågældende vare til Unionen efter den undersøgelsesperiode, som ligger til grund for foranstaltningerne, eller har indgået en uigenkaldelig kontraktlig forpligtelse til at eksportere en betydelig mængde til Unionen.«
For sampled large companies active in the tier 3 retreading business, the profitability figure for 2014 was – 6,04 %.
Bilaget erstattes af bilag I og bilag II.
For sampled SMEs, this figure was 2,71 %.
Artikel 3
These figures show that the retreading industry, representing a significant part of the Union industry as a whole, was already affected by Chinese imports in 2014.
Denne forordning træder i kraft dagen efter offentliggørelsen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
The Commission accordingly sought to determine what target profit Union producers in tier 3 should achieve under normal conditions of competition with due attention given to retreaders.
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i hver medlemsstat.
For this assessment, it also turned to the information available on the file.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 9. november 2018.
In the complaint, the target profit for tier 3 producers of the product concerned was set at 9,2 %, which, according to the complainants, would ensure adequate operations for all producers active in tier 3 (including retreaders of the product concerned).
På Kommissionens vegne
This figure was also in line with comments made by retreaders of the product concerned, in reply to the Final Disclosure Document in the parallel anti-dumping investigation, which argued that the Commission should look at profitability levels of around 9 % for tier 3 producers.
Jean-Claude Juncker
Their argument principally centred around 2014 figures already showing an injured state of the retreading industry in the Union.
EUT L 176 af 30.6.2016, s. 55.
Similarly, the Commission considered the submitted data from the sampled Union retreaders for the years 2006 and 2007, which, according to Union retreaders, represented the last years during which normal conditions of competition took place.
EUT C 346 af 14.10.2017, s. 9.
For those years, profitability of Union retreaders was 9,4 %.
Udtrykket »den kinesiske regering« anvendes i denne forordning i bred forstand og omfatter Statsrådet samt alle ministerier, tjenester, organer og myndigheder på centralt, regionalt eller lokalt plan.
The Commission compared these figures with aggregated tier 3 profitability figures for the sampled Union producers in 2014.
Kommissionens forordning (EU) 2018/683 af 4. maj 2018 om indførelse af en midlertidig antidumpingtold på importen af visse dæk, nye eller regummierede, af gummi, af den art, der anvendes til busser og lastbiler, med belastningsevne over 121, med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina (EUT L 116 af 7.5.2018, s. 8).
Without reflecting the weight of the performance of SMEs in the entire Union industry, the profitability in tier 3 in that year stood at 9,2 %.
Meddelelse om indledning af en antidumpingprocedure vedrørende importen af visse dæk, nye eller regummierede, af den art, der anvendes til busser og lastbiler, med belastningsevne over 121, med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina (EUT C 264 af 11.8.2017, p. 14), som ændret ved berigtigelse til meddelelsen om indledning af en antidumpingprocedure vedrørende importen af nye eller regummierede dæk til busser og lastbiler med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina (EUT C 356 af 21.10.2017, s. 24).
This unweighted figure was more appropriate than the previously weighted figure of 6,1 %.
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/1579 af 18. oktober 2018 om indførelse af en endelig antidumpingtold og om endelig opkrævning af den midlertidige told på importen af visse dæk, nye eller regummierede, af gummi, af den art, der anvendes til busser og lastbiler, med belastningsevne over 121, med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina og om ophævelse af gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/163 (EUT L 263 af 22.10.2018, s. 3).
SMEs in tier 3 were already heavily affected in 2014 by Chinese imports, so that the weighted figures for that year do not fully reflect normal conditions of competition in the retreading industry.
Kommissionens gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/163 af 1. februar 2018 om at gøre importen af nye og regummierede dæk til busser og lastbiler med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina til genstand for registrering (EUT L 30 af 2.2.2018, s. 12).
As a result, the Commission considered it more appropriate to calculate the target profit in year 2014 in a manner which attenuates the injurious impact of the Chinese imports already observed in that year also for the Union retreading industry.
Jf. betragtning 50 for gruppens nærmere sammensætning.
In light of the above information, the Commission decided to set the target profit for tier 3 producers of the product concerned at 9,2 %.
Oplysninger indsamlet og modtaget af Kommissionen viser, at EU-markedet for dæk til busser og lastbiler er opdelt i tre segmenter.
This accounts for the minimum non-injurious price that Union tier 3 producers need to achieve under normal conditions of competition, with due respect given to the needs of the retreading industry.
Dæk i segment 3 omfatter både nye og regummierede dæk med lavere kilometertal, som kun i meget begrænset omfang kan regummieres.
Heuver claimed that the Commission cannot distinguish between retreaded tyres and new tyres as it was consistently considered as the same products in view of their interchangeability.
Jf. Kommissionens henstilling af 6. maj 2003 om definitionen af mikrovirksomheder, små og mellemstore virksomheder (2003/361/EF).
Moreover, the entire injury and causality analysis was made without making any distinction whatsoever.
I undersøgelsesperioden var denne virksomhed kendt under navnet »Chonche Auto Double Happiness Tyre Corp«.
That party claimed that the Commission did not provide a valid basis for departing from the period considered of this investigation and that the Union industry as a whole was already affected by the Chinese imports in 2014.
Virksomheden ændrede sit navn til Aeolus Tyre (Taiyuan) Co., Ltd. den 13. august 2018.
Moreover, that party claimed that the fact they have not reached this target profit level at times when the imports from the PRC did not cause injury to the Union industry (2008-2014) clearly means that there are other causes of injury.
