Registreringen af importen med henblik på beskyttelse mod dumpingimport blev afsluttet den 18. juli 2018 med vedtagelsen af forordningen om antidumpingtold.
In addition, the Commission observed that six importers representing a large volume of imports supported the imposition of measures, which confirmed the capacity of importers to adapt their activity to the imposition of measures.
Hvad angår denne antisubsidieundersøgelse og ud fra ovenstående konklusioner bør registreringen af importen med henblik på antisubsidieundersøgelsen, jf. grundforordningens artikel 24, stk. 5, ophøre.
Following disclosure, the CEIEB further submitted that the Commission did not assess adequately the difficulty and cost involved in the adaptation of the supply chain of importers caused by the imposition of measures and disregarded the situation of small importers.
I det foreliggende tilfælde var ingen midlertidige udligningsforanstaltninger gældende.
The Commission disagrees with that claim and makes reference to recital (736) where the adverse effect of the imposition of measures on small importers is stated and to recital (740) where it concludes that the imposition of measures was not in the interest of importers.
Kommissionen besluttede derfor, at den endelige udligningstold ikke skal opkræves med tilbagevirkende kraft.
The Commission maintains, however, the finding that this negative impact is mitigated by the possibility to source suitable electric bicuycles from the Union industry, from other third countries and from the PRC at fair, non-injurious prices, and that this does not outweigh the positive effect of measures on the Union industry.
TILBUD OM PRISTILSAGN
Interest of users
Efter fremlæggelsen af oplysninger afgav en kinesisk eksporterende producent, Wettsen Corporation, et pristilsagn.
The European Cyclists' Federation (‘ECF’) came forward in this investigation.
Wettsen Corporation var ikke en del af stikprøven, og selv om den havde anmodet om individuel undersøgelse, var denne anmodning – sammen med alle de andre anmodninger om individuel undersøgelse – blevet afvist.
The ECF represents associations and federations of cyclists.
Pristilsagnet blev afvist af en række grunde, som blev meddelt Wettsen Corporation i et særskilt brev.
The ECF submitted that the price is not the determining factor in whether people cycle more or less and provided evidence that countries where people cycle more are the countries where bicycles and electric bicycles cost more.
Begrundelserne var som følger:
This pattern was corroborated by a submission made by the collective of importers opposing the measures which showed that the countries with the fastest rates of adoption of electric bicycles were the countries where electric bicycles were on average the most expensive.
for det første havde Wettsen Corporation en forretningsmæssigt forbundet part uden for Kina, som også fremstillede elektriske cykler
The collective of importers also submitted that there was a strong link between the prices of electric bicycles, the national cycling culture, the quality of infrastructures and ultimately the adoption of electric bicycles.
for det fastsatte pristilsagnet kun minimumsimportprisen (»MIP«) for tre store typer elektriske cykler, hvilket ikke omfatter alle de typer, der blev eksporteret til Unionen i undersøgelsesperioden, og
The ECF is supportive of market conditions which foster quality, innovation and services.
eftersom den foreslåede minimumsimportpris pr. type var et gennemsnit af salgspriserne for denne type, ville dette for det tredje have gjort det muligt for Wettsen Corporation at sælge dyrere elektriske cykler til skadevoldende priser, samtidig med at virksomheden angiveligt overholdt minimumsimportprisen.
As such, if the existence of unfair trade practices was established, ECF claimed that it would play a negative role in the development of electric bicycles and as a consequence on the transition to a greener Europe offering more effective mobility to its citizens.
FREMLÆGGELSE AF OPLYSNINGER
On the other hand, the collective of importers opposing the imposition of measures submitted that measures would prevent Chinese producers to supply the low-end as well as developing mid- and high-range products, which would result in reduced competition.
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 elektriske cykler med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina.
Since the Union industry allegedly to a large extent is active in the mid- and high-range segments, this in turn would bring a reduction of choice and higher prices for the European consumers.
Foranstaltningerne i denne forordning er i overensstemmelse med udtalelse fra det udvalg, der er nedsat i medfør af artikel 15, stk. 1, i Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) 2016/1036 —
The investigation has shown that the Union industry is active in all segments of the market, including entry-level products.
VEDTAGET DENNE FORORDNING:
In that respect, ‘entry-level products’ are those electric bicycles which have the basic characteristics in the structure of the product control number (PCN).
Artikel 1
The definition of ‘entry-level products’ is different from the alleged differentiation of the market in segments.
Der indføres en endelig udligningstold på importen af pedalcykler med elektrisk hjælpemotor med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina, i øjeblikket henhørende under KN-kode 87116010 og ex87116090 (Taric-kode 8711609010).
In particular, no physical criteria were provided by any interested party which would support an analysis based on a segmentation of the market.
Den endelige udligningstold fastsættes til følgende af nettoprisen, frit Unionens grænse, ufortoldet, for de i stk. 1, omhandlede varer fremstillet af følgende virksomheder:
It is expected that the measures will amplify and diversify the supply of electric bicycles by restoring competition on a level playing field.
Virksomhed
It is recalled that the imposition of measures on conventional bicycles did not reduce the consumer choice, but increased the diversity of suppliers and of their countries of origins.
Endelig udligningstold
The argument was therefore found to be unsubstantiated and had to be rejected.
Taric-tillægskode
Whilst the imposition of measures is expected to restore market prices which are de facto higher than subsidized prices, price is one factor guiding consumer choices and the likely impact on prices for consumers has to be balanced by a cost-benefit comparison with alternatives to electric bicycles such as cars, motorcycles or scooters.
Folkerepublikken Kina
The Commission found that the interest of the consumer cannot be reduced to the price impact of bringing imports from the PRC to non-injurious levels.
Andre samarbejdsvillige virksomheder, der er anført i bilag I
On the contrary, there is evidence that consumer choice is driven by other factors such as variety, quality, innovation, and service which can only be achieved under normal market conditions with fair and open competition.
Se bilag I
The Commission therefore concluded that the measures would not unduly affect the situation of consumers and would contribute to the sustainable development of electric bicycles in Europe and its wider benefits to society in terms of protection of the environment and improved mobility.
Virksomheder, der ikke samarbejdede i forbindelse med antisubsidieundersøgelsen, men som samarbejdede i forbindelse med den sideløbende antidumpingundersøgelse, der er anført i bilag II
Following disclosure, some exporting producers claimed the imposition of measures would reduce consumer choice, increase prices and play against environmental policies designed to encourage the use of electric bicycles.
Se bilag II
In addition, as stated in recital (747), it is expected that the measures will amplify and diversify the supply of electric bicycles from the Union Industry and alternative sources of supply by restoring competition on a level playing field while preserving the supply of imports from the PRC at fair prices.
Anvendelsen af de individuelle udligningstoldsatser, der er fastsat for de i stk. 2 nævnte virksomheder, er betinget af, at der forelægges en gyldig handelsfaktura for medlemsstaternes toldmyndigheder; handelsfakturaen skal indeholde en erklæring, der er dateret og underskrevet af en 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 den (mængde) af elektriske cykler, 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.
Furthermore, the level of capacity utilisation of the Union industry, the possibility to easily convert existing production lines for traditional bicycles to electric bicycles, and the speed at which the Union industry was able to expand its production capacity between 2014 and 2016 in an adverse context show that it has the potential, resources and skills to adjust to potential gaps in supply.
Jeg erklærer, at oplysningerne i denne faktura er fuldstændige og korrekte.« Hvis der ikke fremlægges en sådan faktura, anvendes toldsatsen for »alle andre virksomheder«.
The Commission reiterates that the imposition of measures on conventional bicycles did not reduce consumer choice, but increased the diversity of suppliers and of their countries of origins.
Gældende bestemmelser vedrørende told finder anvendelse, medmindre andet er fastsat.
The same market development is expected in the case of electric bicycles.
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 ét procentpoint.
With regards to the impact of the measures on prices, the Commission refers to recitals (748) and (749) and in particular that the interest of the consumer could not be reduced to the price impact of bringing imports from the PRC to non-injurious levels.
Artikel 2
Interest of other parties
Registreringen af importen som følge af gennemførelsesforordning (EU) 2018/671 om at gøre importen af elektriske cykler med oprindelse i Folkerepublikken Kina til genstand for registrering afsluttes.
Lastly, the European Trade Union industriAll came forward to express concerns on the negative impact of the subsidized imports on the state of the Union Industry and its support of measures to ensure a level playing field and continued strong Union employment.
Der skal ikke opkræves en endelig udligningstold for den registrerede import.
Conclusion on Union interest
Artikel 3
In summary, none of the arguments put forward by interested parties demonstrate that there are compelling reasons against the imposition of measures on imports of the product concerned.
Denne forordning træder i kraft dagen efter offentliggørelsen i Den Europæiske Unions Tidende.
Any negative effects on the unrelated importers cannot be considered disproportionate and are mitigated by the availability of alternative sources of supply, whether from third countries or from the Union industry.
Denne forordning er bindende i alle enkeltheder og gælder umiddelbart i hver medlemsstat.
The positive effects of the countervailing measures on the Union market, in particular on the Union industry, outweigh the potential negative effect on the other interest groups.
Udfærdiget i Bruxelles, den 17. januar 2019.
DEFINITIVE COUNTERVAILING MEASURES
På Kommissionens vegne
On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on subsidisation, injury, causation and Union interest, definitive countervailing measures should be imposed to prevent further injury being caused to the Union industry by the subsidized Chinese imports.
EUT L 176 af 30.6.2016, s. 55.
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.
EUT C 440 af 21.12.2017, s. 22.
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 subsidized imports.
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.
To establish this profit that could be reasonably achieved under normal conditions of competition, the Commission considered the profits made on the sales to unrelated customers, which are used for the purpose of determining the injury elimination level.
EUT L 181 af 18.7.2018, s. 7.
The target profit was set at 4,3 % which is the highest average profit margin of the Union industry during the period considered.
EUT C 353 af 20.10.2017, s. 19.
The sampled Union producers were not in a position to provide a profit margin for the manufacturing of electric bicycles before 2014.
Klagen, bilag 10.
Following disclosure, an exporting producer submitted that the Commission's methodology to calculate the non-injurious price of the Union producers was flawed.
Klagen, bilag 9.
It claimed that by deducing the average profit during the investigation period and adding the target profit, the Commission disregarded the different profit levels achieved by the Union producers for different models.
EUT L 113 af 3.5.2018, s. 4.
This interested party claimed that the non-injurious price should be calculated by deducting from the actual prices the average profit per PCN before adding the target profit.
Maksimal kontinuerlig nominel effekt.
The Commission recalls that the basic Regulation does not provide any specific methodology to calculate the injury elimination level.
Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EU) nr. 168/2013 af 15. januar 2013 om godkendelse og markedsovervågning af to- og trehjulede køretøjer samt quadricykler.
Furthermore, the Commission's determination concerns the like product sold by the Union industry.
EØS-relevant tekst (EUT L 60 af 2.3.2013, s. 52).
In this respect, it is perfectly acceptable to remove the average profit of the Union industry from its average sales prices to determine the average cost of production of the like product and then add the target profit to calculate the injury elimination level.
Fortegnelsen over retningslinjer for den industrielle strukturtilpasning, (2011-udgaven).
The Commission has consistently used this methodology in the past and holds significant discretion when carrying out this assessment.
Kapitel III, artikel 12, i afgørelse nr. 40.
In this investigation, the injury is assessed for all product types as a whole.
Jf. Rådets gennemførelsesforordning (EU) nr. 215/2013, EUT L 73 af 15.3.2013, betragtning 182 (Stålprodukter, der er overtrukket med organisk materiale).
Indeed, all injury indicators including the profitability and the target profit are expressed as an average for all product types of the product concerned.
Loven i Folkerepublikken Kina om statsejede virksomheders aktiver, Folkerepublikken Kinas præsidents dekret nr. 5 af 28. oktober 2008, artikel 11 og 12.
When establishing the non-injurious price, this is done with a view to remove the injury from the Union industry caused by the subsidized imports as a whole.
Loven i Folkerepublikken Kina om regulering og tilsyn med bankindustrien, Folkerepublikken Kinas præsidents bekendtgørelse Nr. 58 af 31. oktober 2006.
In order to remove that injury, it is sufficient if the non-injurious price is established by uniformly increasing the sales price of all product types by the difference between the actual profit during the investigation period and the target profit, thereby allowing the Union industry to achieve the target profit.
Jf. betragtning 179 vedrørende de samarbejdsvillige statsejede banker og betragtning 210 vedrørende navnene på og dataene for de ikke samarbejdsvillige statsejede banker.
It is not necessary to individually assess the profitability situation for each individual product type.
WT/DS379/AB/R (US - Anti-Dumping and Countervailing Duties on Certain Products from China), Appelinstansens rapport af 11. marts 2011, DS 379, afsnit 318.
Following disclosure, the complainant disagreed with the target profit used by the Commission for calculating the non-injurious price.
Jf. også WT/DS436/AB/R (USA - Carbon Steel (India), Appelorganets rapport af 8. december 2014, afsnit 4.9-4.10 og 4.17-4.20, og WT/DS437/AB/R (United States - Countervailing Duty Measures on Certain Products from China) Appelinstansens rapport af 18. december 2014, afsnit 4.92.
It submitted that the target profit should not be the average profit from the Union industry but the average profit from the companies not injured by Chinese imports in 2015.
EXIM indgav kun et uddrag af deres vedtægter og ikke den fuldstændig udgave.
The complainant argued since the target profit is the reasonable profit that the Union producers could achieve in the absence of injury caused by subsidised imports, the Commission could not by definition take as reference point the profitability of Union producers already materially injured by subsidised imports.
ICBC's årsberetning for 2016, s. 22.
As an alternative, the complainant submitted that the target profit could be determined by reference with the target profit of traditional bicycles (8 %) adjusted upwards by 1,5 % to reflect additional technology, higher added value and additional investment requirements.
I henhold til gennemførelsesbestemmelserne fra CBRC for spørgsmål vedrørende administrative tilladelser for kinesisk-finansierede forretningsbanker (CBRC's bekendtgørelse, 2017, nr. 1), gennemførelsesbestemmelserne fra CBRC for spørgsmål vedrørende administrative tilladelser for udenlandsk-finansierede banker (CBRC's bekendtgørelse, 2015, nr. 4), samt de administrative foranstaltninger for kvalifikationer af direktører og ledende embedsmænd i finansielle institutioner i banksektoren (CBRC, 2013, nr. 3).
The complainant claimed that in other cases, the Commission had deviated from its standard methodology to establish the target profit by reference to relevant circumstances.
EUT L 176 af 30.6.2016, s. 55 (betragtning 132).
The Commission recalls that the target profit is the profit that the Union industry as a whole can achieve in the absence of injurious subsidisation.
WT/DS/296 (DS296 United States - Countervailing duty investigation on Dynamic Random Access Memory (DRAMS) from Korea), Appelinstansens rapport af 21. februar 2005, afsnit 116.
As a consequence, it cannot be established on the basis of the profit achieved by a selected number of Union producers.
Appelinstansens rapport, DS 296, afsnit 116.
The argument had therefore to be rejected.
Appelinstansens rapport, DS 296, afsnit 115.
As far as the alternative claim (target profit used in the investigation concerning traditional bicycles adjusted upwards), the Commission recalls that each investigation is carried out on the basis of the specific facts of the case concerning the product concerned and not on facts established in investigations concerning other products.
Appelinstansens rapport, DS 296, afsnit 114, som er i overensstemmelse med appelinstansens rapport, DS 194, afsnit 8.31, i den henseende.
In this particular case, the Commission confirmed that the target profit used was appropriate and that there was no reason for it to resort to a target profit of another product.
EUT L 176 af 30.6.2016, s. 55, kapitel 3.4.4., betragtning 152-244.
Thus, the claim had to be rejected.

The Commission then determined the injury elimination level on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average import price of the cooperating sampled exporting producers in the PRC, duly adjusted for importation costs and customs duties, as established for the price undercutting calculations, with the weighted average non-injurious price of the like product sold by the sampled Union producers on the Union market during the investigation period.
Raphael Lam, T. Daniel Law, Wei Liao, Nadia Rendak, Philippe Wingender og Jiangyan, oktober 2016, WP/16/203.
Any difference resulting from this comparison was expressed as a percentage of the weighted average CIF import value.
Livingston, M. Poon, W.P.H. og Zhou, L. (2017).
In addition, for the Chinese exporting producers who sold only non-branded electric bicycles, the injury elimination level was determined with a reduction of 2,3 % of the Union industry's non-injurious prices.
A Study of the Chinese Bond Market and Credit Rating Industry, Journal of Banking & Finance, s. 24.
This adjustment corresponds to the proportion of R&D and design costs identified in the accounts of the sampled and verified union producers and reflects that these costs are borne in the operations of the brand-name importers.
Lin, L.W. og Milhaupt, C.J.
The injury elimination level was adjusted accordingly, leading to a reduction of 3 % - 5 % to the injury margin.
Jf. foreløbige foranstaltninger til administrering af kreditvurderingsvirksomhed vedrørende markedet for værdipapirer, offentliggjort af CSRC, bekendtgørelse fra CSRC, 2007, nr. 50 af 24. august 2007, og meddelelse fra PBOC om kvalifikationer hos China Cheng Xin Securities Rating Co., Ltd. og andre institutioner inden for kreditvurderingsvirksomhed vedrørende virksomhedsobligationer, Yinfa, 1997, Nr. 547 af 16. december 1997.
That claim was accepted and the resulting decrease of the underselling margin was disclosed without any further comment.
For så vidt angår variabelt forrentede lån blev der i UP taget udgangspunkt i PBOC's referencerentesats.
In view of the findings above, a definitive countervailing duty should be imposed at a level sufficient to eliminate the injury caused by the subsidised imports without exceeding the amount of subsidisation found.
