Konklusion om årsagssammenhæng
The CCCME claimed that the investment in capacity resulted in 2016 in a surplus of production capacity beyond any realistic sales expectations which had the effects of both significantly reducing capacity utilisation and severely impacting profitability.
Kommissionen fastslog foreløbigt en årsagssammenhæng mellem den skade, som EU-producenterne har lidt, og dumpingimporten fra Kina.
The Commission rejected this argument.
Kommissionen udskilte og adskilte virkningerne af alle kendte faktorer på EU-erhvervsgrenens situation fra den skadevoldende virkning af dumpingimporten.
Firstly, it cannot be said that the investment in capacity was beyond any realistic sales expectations.
Det blev foreløbigt ikke fundet, at de øvrige identificerede faktorer, såsom importen fra andre tredjelande, EU-producenternes eksportresultater samt en påstået indvirkning fra investeringer og en kapacitetsudvidelse, svækkede årsagssammenhængen, heller ikke i lyset af disse faktorers eventuelle kombinerede virkning.
As shown in Table 5 above, production capacity increased by 300000 pieces between 2015 and 2016.
På baggrund af ovenstående konkluderede Kommissionen på dette tidspunkt, at den væsentlige skade, som EU-erhvervsgrenen har lidt, skyldtes dumpingimporten fra Kina, og at de øvrige faktorer, betragtet hver for sig eller samlet, ikke svækkede årsagssammenhængen.
This was fully in line with the growth in consumption between 2015 and 2016, which was equally 300000 pieces as shown in Table 2 above.
UNIONENS INTERESSER
Due to unfair pressure by dumped Chinese imports, the Union industry subsequently reduced their production capacity between 2016 and the investigation period by more than 150000 pieces, despite a further market growth of more than 300000 pieces.
I overensstemmelse med grundforordningens artikel 21 undersøgte Kommissionen, om den klart kunne konkludere, at det ikke var i Unionens interesse at vedtage foranstaltninger i dette tilfælde til trods for konstateringen af skadevoldende dumping.
Secondly, the Commission noted that the level of capital expenditure was not high.
Unionens interesser blev fastlagt på grundlag af en vurdering af alle de forskellige involverede parters interesser, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenens, importørernes og brugernes interesser.
To the contrary, it stood below 2 % of total turnover over the period considered.
Leverandørernes interesser
The Union Industry converted existing production lines and the increase of capacity was therefore not a major driver of capital expenditures.
CONEBI, som omfatter de nationale foreninger, der repræsenterer både cykelfabrikanter og reservedelsleverandører, støttede indførelsen af foranstaltninger.
Thirdly, capital expenditures were not taken into account in profitability (except for depreciation and amortisation which did not increase materially) or cash flows (which are at operating level).
Imidlertid tog ingen af leverandørerne stilling i denne undersøgelse.
It was therefore inaccurate to interpret any of these indicators in light of the level of investments.
I henhold til tal fra CONEBI fremstiller 424 virksomheder i 19 medlemsstater dele til cykler (både konventionelle og elektriske cykler), og de beskæftiger næsten 21000 personer og har investeret mere end 660 mio. EUR i produktion og innovation i 2016.
Finally, the Commission's indicators showed that the cost of production increased in line with sales prices.
Kommissionen konkluderede foreløbigt, at det vil være til fordel for de interesser, der gør sig gældende for EU-erhvervsgrenens leverandører, at der indføres en antidumpingtold.
As a result, it could not be argued that the increase in capacity had a disproportionate impact on cost of production.
EU-erhvervsgrenen består af såvel større virksomheder som små og mellemstore virksomheder og beskæftigede i den betragtede periode direkte ca. 3600 personer i 12 medlemsstater.
The Commission provisionally established a causal link between the injury suffered by the Union producers and the dumped imports from the PRC.
Mens forbruget af elektriske cykler stadig udgør en lille andel af det samlede cykelmarked, sker der et hurtigt skift i efterspørgslen fra konventionelle cykler til elektriske cykler, og det udgør en strukturel udfordring at opretholde aktivitetsniveauet, merværdien og arbejdspladserne i hele cykelindustrien.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports.
Som det fremgår af afsnit 4.4.4, viste analysen af udviklingen i skadesindikatorerne fra begyndelsen af den betragtede periode, at hele EU-erhvervsgrenen oplevede en forværring af situationen og blev negativt påvirket af dumpingimporten.
The other identified factors such as imports from other third countries, export sales performance of the Union producers, and an alleged impact of investment and expansion in capacity were provisionally not found to attenuate the causal link, even considering their possible combined effect.
Kommissionen forventer, at indførelsen af en midlertidig antidumpingtold vil give alle producenter mulighed for at operere på EU-markedet på rimelige konkurrencevilkår.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded at this stage that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from the PRC and the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not attenuate the causal link between the injury and the dumped imports.
Uden foranstaltninger synes der at være stor sandsynlighed for, at EU-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske og finansielle situation forværres yderligere.
UNION INTEREST
Kommissionen konkluderede derfor foreløbigt, at det vil være i EU-erhvervsgrenens interesse, at der indføres en antidumpingtold.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether it could clearly conclude that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case, despite the determination of injurious dumping.
CEIEB gav sig til kende og var imod indførelsen af foranstaltninger.
Interest of suppliers
CEIEB repræsenterer 21 importører fra syv medlemsstater.
CONEBI, which brings together national associations representing both bicycles manufacturers and parts suppliers, supported the imposition of measures.
11 af CEIEB's medlemmer havde deltaget i stikprøveundersøgelsen.
However, no supplier individually took position in this investigation.
Desuden udtrykte to virksomheder uden for CEIEB også deres utilfredshed med indførelsen af antidumpingforanstaltninger.
According to figures submitted by CONEBI, the bicycle parts (for both conventional and electric bicycles) are manufactured by 424 companies in 19 Members States, employing nearly 21000 staff, who invested more than EUR 660 millions in manufacturing and innovation in 2016.
Til sammen tegnede de 13 virksomheder, hvis importmængde er kendt, sig for 10 % af den samlede import fra Kina i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Commission provisionally concluded that the imposition of an anti-dumping duty would be in the interest of the suppliers of the Union Industry.
Bemærkninger fra importører i stikprøven viste, at indførelsen af told sandsynligvis vil afbryde deres forsyningskæder i hvert fald midlertidigt og true deres økonomiske situation, hvis de ikke var i stand til at overvælte de øgede omkostninger i forbindelse med tolden på deres kunder.
Interest of the Union industry
Bemærkninger fra importører i stikprøven viste også, at de største importører havde været i stand til at købe egnede elektriske cykler og/eller havde potentielle alternative forsyningskilder uden for Kina, herunder EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The Union industry is composed of large as well as small and medium-sized companies and employed directly around 3600 employees spread across twelve Member States during the period considered.
Disse importører beskæftiger størstedelen af de ansatte, der henvises til i betragtning 236.
Moreover, while the consumption of electric bicycles still represents a small portion of the overall bicycle market, the shift in demand from conventional bicycles to electric bicycles is rapid and poses a structural challenge to maintain the level of activity, value-added and jobs of the entire bicycle industry.
Importstatistikkerne viser, at Vietnam og Taiwan leverede betydelige mængder af elektriske cykler til europæiske importører.
As demonstrated in section 4.4.4 above, when analysing the development of the injury indicators since the beginning of the period considered, the whole Union industry experienced a deterioration of its situation and was negatively affected by the dumped imports.
Det er også sandsynligt, at andre lande, som har en god position inden for fremstilling af konventionelle cykler, potentielt kan levere til importørerne.
The Commission expects that the imposition of a provisional anti-dumping duty will allow all producers to operate under conditions of fair trade on the Union market.
I denne henseende bemærkede Kommissionen, at indførelsen af told på importen af konventionelle cykler fra Kina ikke har haft den virkning at lukke EU-markedet for import, men tværtimod har udvidet antallet af lande, der leverer konventionelle cykler.
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration of the Union industry's economic and financial situation is very likely.
På store markeder uden foranstaltninger på konventionelle cykler fra Kina, såsom USA og Japan, udgjorde importen tværtimod henholdsvis 99 % og 90 % af markedet, og hovedparten af denne import kom fra Kina.
The Commission therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of an anti-dumping duty would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Kommissionen bemærkede, at cykelindustrien består af mere end 450 producenter, hvoraf kun 37 i øjeblikket fremstiller elektriske cykler.
Interest of unrelated importers
Desuden leverer de nuværende fabrikanter af elektriske cykler allerede mange forskellige typer elektriske cykler og kan øge deres produktionskapacitet under normale markedsvilkår.
The CEIEB came forward to oppose the imposition of measures.
Selv om indførelsen af told kan have en negativ virkning på en række primært små importører, kan de negative virkninger af indførelsen af told afbødes af adgangen til at købe egnede cykler fra EU-erhvervsgrenen i andre tredjelande og i Kina til rimelige priser.
It represented twenty-one importers from seven Member States.
Kommissionen konkluderede derfor, at indførelsen af told ikke var i importørernes interesse, men at de sandsynlige negative virkninger for importører ikke opvejede den positive virkning på EU-erhvervsgrenen.
Eleven of the members of the CEIEB had participated in the sampling exercise.
Brugernes interesser
In addition, two companies outside of this collective also expressed their disagreement with the imposition of anti-dumping measures.
Det Europæiske Cyklistforbund (»ECF«) gav sig til kende i forbindelse med denne undersøgelse.
Altogether, the thirteen companies for whom the volume of imports is known represented 10 % of the total imports from the PRC in the investigation period.
ECF repræsenterer cyklistsammenslutninger og -forbund.
The submissions made by sampled importers showed that the imposition of duties was likely to disrupt at least temporarily their supply chains and threaten their financial position if they were not able to pass on the increased costs related to the duty to their customers.
ECF påstod, at prisen ikke er den afgørende faktor for, om folk cykler mere eller mindre, og fremlagde beviser for, at de lande, hvor folk cykler mest, er de lande, hvor cykler og elektriske cykler er dyrest.
The submissions made by the sampled importers also showed that the largest importers had been able to source suitable electric bicycles and/or had potential alternative sources of supply outside the PRC, including the Union industry.
Dette mønster blev bekræftet af et indlæg fra CEIEB, der var imod foranstaltningerne, som viste, at elektriske cykler hurtigst vandt indpas i de lande, hvor elektriske cykler i gennemsnit var dyrest.
These importers employ most of the employees referred to in recital 236.
CEIEB fremførte også, at der var en tæt sammenhæng mellem priserne på elektriske cykler, den nationale cykelkultur, kvaliteten af infrastrukturer og i sidste ende udbredelsen af elektriske cykler.
The import statistics show that Vietnam and Taiwan provided significant volumes of electric bicycles to European importers.
ECF gik ind for markedsvilkår, der fremmer kvalitet, innovation og tjenesteydelser.
It is also likely that other countries which are well positioned in the manufacturing of conventional bicycles could potentially supply importers.
Hvis der blev konstateret dumping, påstod ECF derfor, at dette vil spille en negativ rolle i udviklingen af elektriske cykler og dermed overgangen til et grønnere Europa med tilbud om mere effektiv mobilitet for borgerne.
In this regard, the Commission notes that the imposition of duties on imports of conventional bicycles from the PRC did not have the effect to close the Union market to imports and on the contrary expanded the number of countries supplying conventional bicycles.
På den anden side fremførte CEIEB, der var imod indførelsen af foranstaltninger, at foranstaltningerne vil hindre de kinesiske producenter i at levere til lavprissegmentet og udvikle varer til middel- og højprissegmentet, hvilket vil medføre reduceret konkurrence.
On the contrary, in large markets without measures on conventional bicycles from the PRC such as the United States and Japan, imports represented respectively 99 % and 90 % of the market and most of these imports came from the PRC.
Da EU-erhvervsgrenen angiveligt i stor udstrækning er aktiv i middel- og højprissegmentet, vil dette til gengæld betyde begrænsede valgmuligheder og højere priser for de europæiske forbrugere.
The Commission noted that the bicycle industry consists of more than 450 producers, of which only 37 currently manufacture electric bicycles.
Undersøgelsen har vist, at EU-erhvervsgrenen er aktiv inden for samtlige segmenter af markedet, herunder i lavprissegmentet.
In addition, the current manufacturers of electric bicycles supply already a wide range of electric bicycles, and can increase their production capacities in normal market conditions.
Det forventes, at foranstaltningerne vil øge og diversificere udbuddet af elektriske cykler ved at genskabe lige konkurrencevilkår.
Although the imposition of duties could have an adverse effect on a number of mainly small importers, the negative impact of the imposition of duties could be mitigated by the availability to source suitable bicycles in the Union Industry, in other third countries, and in the PRC at fair prices.
Det skal erindres, at indførelsen af foranstaltninger over for konventionelle cykler ikke begrænsede forbrugernes valgmuligheder, men øgede antallet af leverandører og deres oprindelseslande.
The Commission therefore concluded that the imposition of duties was not in the interest of the importers, but that the likely negative effect on importers did not outweigh the positive effect of measures on the Union industry.
Påstanden blev derfor betragtet som ubegrundet og måtte afvises.
Interest of users
Mens indførelsen af foranstaltninger forventes at genskabe markedspriser, der faktisk er højere end de dumpede priser, er prisen en faktor, der styrer forbrugernes valg, og den sandsynlige indvirkning på priserne for forbrugerne skal udlignes ved en cost-benefit-sammenligning med alternativer til elektriske cykler, som f.eks. biler, motorcykler og scootere.
The European Cyclists' Federation (‘ECF’) came forward in this investigation.
Kommissionen konstaterede, at forbrugernes interesse kan ikke begrænses til den prismæssige virkning ved at etablere importen fra Kina på et ikke-skadevoldende niveau.
The ECF represents associations and federations of cyclists.
Der er tværtimod dokumentation for, at forbrugernes valg styres af andre faktorer såsom udvalg, kvalitet, innovation og service, som kun kan opnås på normale markedsvilkår med loyal og åben konkurrence.
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.
Kommissionen konkluderede derfor, at foranstaltningerne ikke vil få en urimelig indvirkning på forbrugernes situation og vil bidrage til den bæredygtige udvikling af elektriske cykler i Europa og de dermed forbundne fordele for samfundet med hensyn til miljøbeskyttelse og bedre mobilitet.
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.
Andre parters interesser
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.
Endelig gav den europæiske fagforening All sig til kende og gav udtryk for bekymring over de negative virkninger af dumpingimporten på EU-erhvervsgrenen, og fagforeningen gik ind for foranstaltninger med henblik på at sikre lige vilkår og en fortsat høj beskæftigelse i Unionen.
The ECF is supportive of market conditions which foster quality, innovation and services.
Konklusion vedrørende Unionens interesser
As such, if dumping 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.
Selv om det ikke kan udelukkes, at foranstaltningerne kan få skadelige virkninger på mindre importører af den pågældende vare og på priserne for forbrugerne, opvejer dette ikke fordelene for leverandører, EU-erhvervsgrenen og forbrugerne.
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.
På baggrund af ovenstående fastslog Kommissionen, at der ikke forelå tvingende årsager til at konkludere, at det ikke var i Unionens interesse at indføre midlertidige foranstaltninger over for importen af den pågældende vare med oprindelse i Kina i denne fase af undersøgelsen.
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.
MIDLERTIDIGE ANTIDUMPINGFORANSTALTNINGER
The investigation has shown that the Union industry is active in all segments of the market, including entry-level products.
På baggrund af Kommissionens konklusioner om dumping, skade, årsagssammenhæng og Unionens interesser bør der indføres midlertidige foranstaltninger for at hindre, at EU-erhvervsgrenen forvoldes yderligere skade som følge af dumpingimporten fra Kina.
It is expected that the measures will amplify and diversify the supply of electric bicycles by restoring competition on a level playing field.
Skadestærskel
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.
For at fastlægge omfanget af foranstaltningerne fastsatte Kommissionen først det toldbeløb, der er nødvendigt for at afhjælpe den skade, der er påført EU-erhvervsgrenen.
The argument was therefore found to be unsubstantiated and had to be rejected.
Skaden ville være afhjulpet, hvis EU-erhvervsgrenen kunne dække sine produktionsomkostninger og opnå en fortjeneste før skat på salget af samme vare på EU-markedet, som med rimelighed kunne forventes af en virksomhed af denne type i denne sektor under normale konkurrencevilkår, dvs. uden forekomst af dumpingimport.
Whilst the imposition of measures is expected to restore market prices which are de facto higher than dumped 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.
For at fastsætte den fortjeneste, som med rimelighed kunne forventes under normale konkurrencevilkår, tog Kommissionen udgangspunkt i den fortjeneste ved salg til ikke forretningsmæssigt forbundne kunder, der anvendes ved fastsættelsen af skadestærsklen.
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.
Fortjenstmargenen blev foreløbigt fastsat til 4,3 %, hvilket er den højeste gennemsnitlige fortjenstmargen for EU-erhvervsgrenen i den betragtede periode.
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.
De stikprøveudtagne EU-producenter var ikke i stand til at fremlægge en fortjenstmargen for fremstilling af elektriske cykler før 2014.
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.
Kommissionen fastsatte derefter skadestærsklen på grundlag af en sammenligning mellem den vejede gennemsnitlige importpris blandt de stikprøveudtagne samarbejdsvillige eksporterende producenter i Kina, behørigt justeret for importomkostninger og told, som fastlagt ved beregningen af prisunderbud, og den vejede gennemsnitlige ikke-skadevoldende pris på samme vare, som de stikprøveudtagne EU-producenter solgte på EU-markedet i undersøgelsesperioden.
Interest of other parties
Eventuelle forskelle efter denne sammenligning blev derefter udtrykt i procent af den vejede gennemsnitlige cif-importværdi.
Lastly, the European Trade Union industriAll came forward to express concerns on the negative impact of the dumped imports on the state of the Union Industry and its support of measures to ensure a level playing field and continued strong Union employment.
Skadestærsklen for »andre samarbejdsvillige virksomheder« og for »alle andre virksomheder« er defineret på samme måde som dumpingmargenen for disse virksomheder, jf. betragtning 123-127.
Conclusion on Union interest
Midlertidige foranstaltninger
Although an adverse effect of the measures on small importers of the product concerned and on prices to consumers could not be ruled out, it does not outweigh the benefits to suppliers, the union industry and consumers.
Der bør indføres midlertidig antidumpingforanstaltninger på importen af elektriske cykler med oprindelse i Kina i overensstemmelse med reglen om den lavest mulige told i grundforordningens artikel 7, stk. 2.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that there were no compelling reasons that it was not in the Union interest to impose provisional measures on imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC at this stage of the investigation.
Kommissionen sammenlignede skadestærsklerne med dumpingmargenerne.
PROVISIONAL ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Toldsatsen bør fastsættes til samme niveau som dumpingmargenen eller skadestærsklen, afhængigt af hvad der er lavest.
On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on dumping, injury, causation and Union interest, provisional measures should be imposed to prevent further injury being caused to the Union industry by the dumped Chinese imports.
På grundlag af ovenstående bør de midlertidige antidumpingtoldsatser, udtrykt i procent af cif-prisen, Unionens grænse, ufortoldet, være som følger:
Injury elimination level
Dumpingmargen
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.
