Samtidig blev også virkningerne af andre kendte faktorer og eventuelle følgevirkninger for den pågældende erhvervsgrens situation også under søgt.
At the same time, the impact of other known factors and their possible consequences on the situation of that industry were also analysed.
En sådan analyse sikrer, at skade, der forvoldes af andre faktorer end dumpingimporten, bliver identificeret og ikke tilskrevet dumpingimporten.
Such analysis ensured that any injury caused by other factors than dumped imports would be identified and not attributed to these imports.
(185) Hele udviklingen i importmængden sammenholdt med udviklingen i det synlige forbrug viser, at den pågældende dumpingimport fortrinsvis tilførtes stigningen i lagerbeholdningerne og således stigningen i det synlige forbrug i de to første kvartaler i undersøgelsesperioden, hvorimod erhvervsgrenens salg faldt lige fra undersøgelsesperiodens begyndelse.
(185) In addition, the development of import volumes, taken together with the development of apparent consumption shown earlier, indicates that the dumped imports concerned mainly fed the increase in stocks, and thus the increase in apparent consumption in the first two quarters of the investigation period, whereas the sales of the Community industry decreased from the very beginning of the investigation period.
(180) De andre faktorer, der undersøgtes, var: forbrugsudviklingen, »overforsyningen« af markedet i Fællesskabet, virkningerne af varmtvalsede bredbånd, der importeres til Fællesskabet fra andre tredjelande, adfærden hos andre EF-producenter, som ikke indgik i definitionen af erhvervsgrenen i Fællesskabet, EF-erhvervsgrenens eksportresultater og stålindustriens situation på verdensplan. plan.
(180) The other factors examined were: the development of consumption, the oversupply of the Community market, the impact of hotrolled coils imported into the Community from other third countries, the behaviour of other Community producers not included in the definition of the Community industry, the export performances of the Community industry and the worldwide situation of the steel business.
Virkningerne af dumpingimporten a) Mængden af dumpingimporten og lageropbygning
Impact of dumped imports a) Impaã of the volume of dumped imports and stockpiling
(186) Undersøgelsen viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke er særlig meget til stede i forhandlernes salgskanaler i modsætning til de pågældende producenter.
(186) The investigation revealed that contrary to the exporting producers in question the Community industry is not very present in the traders' sales channel.
Hvad angår visse store aktører, afgav disse kun ordrer på ganske få eller slet ingen varmtvalsede bredbånd hos EF-erhvervsgrenen i tredje og fjerde kvartal af undersøgelsesperioden.
As regards certain large operators, it showed that these ordered few or no hotrolled coils from the Community industry during the third and the fourth quarter of the invest igation period.
Resultatet var et betydeligt fald i efterspørgslen, som startede i tredje kvartal af undersøgelsesperioden (- 28 %) og fortsatte (-12%) i fjerde kvartal.
This resulted in a significant drop in sales which started during the third quarter of the invest igation period (-28%) and which continued (-12%) during the fourth quarter.
Dette havde en negativ indflydelse på EF-erhvervsgrenens priser og rentabilitet i de to sidste kvartaler af undersøgelsesperioden.
This in tum had a significant negative influence on prices and profitability of the Community industry during the last two quarters of the investigation period.
(181) Undersøgelsen viste, at den pågældende import steg betydeligt og navnlig mellem 1997 og undersøgelsespe rioden.
(181) The investigation showed that the imports concerned increased considerably, in particular between 1997 and the investigation period.
Medens der i 1995 kun indførtes 0,65 mio. tons varmtvalsede bredbånd til markedet i Fællesskabet fra de berørte lande, dvs. 17 % af den samlede import, var der i 1997 tale om 0,88 mio. tons.
While in 1995, only 0,65 million tonnes of hotrolled coils entered the Community market from the countries concerned, representing 17 % of total imports, in 1997, this rose to 0,88 million tonnes.
I perioden mellem 1995 og 1997 var stigningen i mængden af varmtvalsede bredbånd, der blev importeret fra de berørte lande, begrænset til 0,2 mio. tons. I undersøgelsesperioden
During the period between 1995 and 1997, the increase in the volume of hotrolled coils imported from the countries concerned was limited to 0,2 million tonnes.
De pågældende producenter er ikke ret aktive i salgskanaler, hvor der indgås langtidskontrakter.
During the investigation period the volume of dumped imports reached 2,1 million tonnes
-36- fremskyndte og forcerede nedgangen i salgspriserne på markedet i Fællesskabet i den pågældende periode.
-36- in sales prices on the Community market during that period.
Her har EF-erhvervsgrenen klaret sig bedre end i andre salgskanaler, hvor konkurrencen fra importen var mere udtalt.
active in sales channels where long-term sales contracts are concluded The Community industry has fared relatively better in these sales channels than in others, where competition from imports is more pronounced.
Det er også påvist, at udviklingen i erhvervsgrenens salg af sorte bredbånd, som udgør 90 % af den pågældende import, har været meget negativ igennem hele undersøgelsesperioden.
It has also been shown above that the Community industry's sales of black coils, which account for around 90% of the imports concerned, have been developing very negatively throughout the investigation period.
(192) Undersøgelsen viste, at de eksporterende producenter faktisk satte priserne ned i sidste kvartal af 1997, medens EF-erhvervsgrenen forsøgte at holde sit prisniveau indtil juni 1998.
(192) The investigation showed that the exporting producers indeed, reduced their price during the last quarter of 1997 while the Community industry attempted to main tain its price level until June 1998.
I juli 1998 sænkede erhvervsgrenen sine salgspriser.
In July 1998, the Community industry reduced its sales prices.
Deres salgspriser, som var over 300 ECU pr. ton i januar 1998, faldt til omkring 250 ECU pr. ton i december 1998.
Their sales prices, which were over 300 ECU/tonne in January 1998, fell to around 250 ECU/tonne in December 1998.
Under buddet var forholdsvis lavt i begyndelsen, men blev større og større i løbet af perioden.
It is to be noted that the level of the undercutting was lower at the beginning of the invest igation period and became increasingly more significant throughout the investigation period.
EF-erhvervsgrenen måtte derfor sænke sine priser for at kunne fortsætte på markedet, navnlig fra midt i undersøgelsesperioden.
The Community industry had to reduce its prices in order to continue participating in the market, in particular from the middle of the investigation period onwards.
(188) Undersøgelsen viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenens situation var stabil med hensyn til priser og således den samlede rentabilitet i de to første kvartaler af undersøgelsespe rioden, selv om priserne på importen fra de berørte lande fortsat faldt i hele perioden.
(188) The investigation showed that the situation of the Community industry remained stable in terms of prices and therefore overall profitability during the first two quarters of the investigation period, although import prices from the countries concerned continuously decreased during the whole investigation period.
Udviklingen i priser og fortjeneste skyldtes på den ene side markedets generelle funktionsmåde med en tidsforskel mellem de afgivne ordrer og leveringerne til kunderne og på den anden side udviklingen i lagerbeholdningerne og således det synlige forbrug i undersøgelsesperioden.
In this respect the investigation has shown that the develop ment of prices and profits of the Community industry were due, on the one hand, to the general functioning of the market in terms of the time lag between orders made by and deliveries to clients and, on the other hand, by the development of stocks and thus apparent consump tion during the investigation period.
(194) Stål er en større råvare, og den vejledende basispris på varmtvalsede bredbånd offentliggøres dagligt i specialblade og kendes af alle aktører på markedet.
(194) In this respect it is to be noted that steel is a major commodity product and the indicative base price of hotrolled coils is published daily in specialised newspapers and is well know by all operators present on the market.
De produkter, der fremstilles og sælges af EF-erhvervsgrenen og dem, der importeres fra de berørte lande, er meget følsomme over for prissvingninger, som hurtigt har virkninger over hele markedet.
The products produced and sold by the Community industry and those imported by the countries concerned are highly sensitive to price movements which are quickly transmitted through the market.
(189) I betragtning af den måde, markedet generelt fungerer på, med en tidsforskel mellem ordrer og leveringer (et kvartal), afspejlede EF-erhvervsgrenens situation først og fremmest de ordrer, der var afgivet i fjerde kvartal af 1997, hvor importen begyndte at stige.
(189) Concerning the general functioning of the market, it has been found that given the time lag between orders and deliveries (namely one quarter), the situation of the Community industry during the first quarter of the investigation period, basically reflected the situation of orders placed during the fourth quarter of 1997, when imports started to increase.
Resultaterne af undersøgelsen viser således, at den negative udvikling i EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situa tion kunne tilskrives den pågældende import.
The above thus suggests that overall the findings of the investigation show that the imports concerned caused the negative development in the economic situation of the Community industry.
Konklusion vedrørende dumpingimportens virkninger
c) Conclusion on the impact of dumped imports
(190) I forbindelse med udviklingen i det synlige forbrug konstateredes det, at situationen i første kvartal af under søgelsesperioden på markedet i Fællesskabet i almindelighed og for EF-erhvervsgrenen i særdeleshed svarede til en periode med en markant stigning i lagerbeholdninger — og således i det synlige forbrug.
(190) In terms of the development of apparent consumption, it has been found that the situation of the Community market in general and of the Community industry in particular during the first quarter of the investigation period corresponded to a time period of spectacular growth in stocks — and thus apparent consumption.
Dette gav mulighed for høje priser og fortjeneste trods den samtidige stigning i importen.
This allowed prices and profits to remain high despite the increase in imports which occurred at the same time.
Dumpingimporten havde således de største virkninger for erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situa tion på et tidspunkt, hvor det blev klart, at stigningen i lagerbeholdninger og således i det synlige forbrug ikke blev opvejet af en stigning i det faktiske forbrug.
The dumped imports thus had the biggest impact on the economic situation of the Community industry when it became clear that the growth in stocks and thus in apparent consumption was not matched by a growth in actual consumption.
På grund af det kraftige fald i efterspørgslen efter varmtvalsede bredbånd ved udløbet af undersøgelsesperioden faldt erhvervsgrenens priser, og rentabiliteten blev negativ.
Indeed, given the considerable fall in demand for hotrolled coils at the end of the invest igation period, Community industry prices decreased by 17% and profitability became negative.
(191) Klageren hævdede, at de eksporterende producenter ved udgangen af 1997 og i hele undersøgelsesperioden førte en politik med systematiske prisnedsættelser og til stadighed underbød EF-erhvervsgrenens priser. Dette
(191) The complainant claimed that at the end of 1997 and during the entire investigation period the exporting producers adopted a policy of systematic price decrease and were continually undercutting the Community industry's prices.
(195) De store mængder dumpingimport, som hobede sig op på markedet i Fællesskabet inden for et meget kort tidsrum, trykkede priserne og førte til mindre markedsandele for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
(195) It is considered that the high volumes of dumped imports, which accumulated in the Community market within a very short period, depressed prices and led to a reduced market share of the Community industry.
Disse store import mængder gav visse store brugere i Fællesskabet mulighed for at opbygge lagerbeholdninger, hvilket havde negative virkninger for prisforhandlingerne med EF-erhvervsgrenen allerede i andet kvartal af undersøgelsesperioden og således forlænge perioden med trykkede priser.
These high import volumes allowed certain large Communitybased users to accumulate stocks with negative repercussions on price negotiation with the Community industry as early as in the second quarter of the investigation period and to extend the period over which such imports depressed prices.
Den generelle gennemsigtighed, der hersker på markedet i Fællesskabet, betød også, at brugere og købere hurtigt blev klar over de eksporterende producenters lavprispolitik.
Moreover, given the general transparency of the market, users and purchasers in the Community market became quickly aware of the low price policy applied by the exporting producers.
Dette fremskyndede og forcerede faldet i salgspriserne på et marked med negative følger for EF-erhvervsgrenens markedsandel og rentabilitet.
This precipitated and hastened the fall of sales price on a market with negative results on market share and profit ability of the Community industry.
(196) Følgelig konkluderes det, at lavprisimporten spillede en stor rolle i forbindelse med forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens dårlige situation og således for den væsentlige skade, der forvoldtes erhvervsgrenen i undersøgelsespe rioden.
(196) Consequently, it is concluded that the presence of lowpriced dumped imports played an important role in the deteriorating situation of the Community industry and thus to the material injury suffered by that industry during the investigation period.
(202) Undersøgelsen viste således, at stigningen i dumpingimporten var betydelig (importen mere end fordobledes udtrykt som markedsandel) i undersøgelsesperioden, hvor det konstateredes, at EF-erhvervsgrenen tabte salgsandele og oplevede et fald i produktionen, som førte til formindskelse af markedsandelen.
In conclusion, the investigation has shown that the increase in dumped imports was considerable (in terms of market share imports more than doubled) during the investigation period while it was found that the Community industry lost sales and experienced a drop in production resulting in a fall in market share.
Denne stigning j dumpingimporten bidrog således i vid udstrækning til overudbuddet.
Accord ingly, the increase in low-priced-dumped imports largely contributed to the oversupply.
Virkningen af andre faktorer c) Import af varmtvalsede bredbånd fra andre tredjelande a) Udviklingen i forbruget
Irapact of other factors a) Development of consumption c) Imports of hotrolled coils from other third countries
(197) I den undersøgte periode steg det synlige forbrug på markedet i Fællesskabet med 9 %.
(197) During the period examined apparent consumption on the Community market increased continuously by 9 %.
I perioden mellem 1997 og undersøgelsesperioden steg det synlige forbrug 0,4%.
During the period between 1997 and the investigation period apparent consumption increased by 0,4 %.
(203) Ud over de lande, der er omfattet af denne undersøgelse, eksporterede andre lande også varmtvalsede bredbånd til markedet i Fællesskabet.
(203) In addition to the countries concerned by the present investigation, other countries exported hotrolled coils to the Community market.
I undersøgelsesperioden var de største eksportører lande som Rusland, Slovakiet, Rumænien, Ungarn, Sydkorea og Indonesien.
During the investigation period the main exporters were Russia, Slovakia, Romania, Hungary, South Korea and Indonesia.
(198) På baggrund af den fortsatte positive forbrugsudvikling siden 1996 fastslås det, at forbruget ikke kan være forbundet med den skadelige situation, som EF-erhvervsgrenen oplevede i undersøgelsesperioden.
(198) Consequently, given the continuous positive develop ment in consumption volume since 1996, it is considered that it cannot be linked to the injurious situation suffered by the Community industry during the invest igation period.
(204) Flere eksporterende producenter hævdede, at der var blevet diskrimineret imod dem i sammenligning med andre nævnte tredjelande, som ikke var blevet inddraget i undersøgelsen.
(204) Some exporting producers argued that they have been unduly discriminated against in comparison to some other third countries mentioned above which were excluded from the scope of the investigation.
b) Overforsyning af markedet i Fællesskabet
b) Oversupply of the Community market
(205) Det skal bemærkes, at der ikke blev indgivet klage imod ovennævnte tredjelande, og at der derfor ikke blev modtaget umiddelbare beviser for dumping og skade til at berettige indledningen af en antidumpingundersøgelse. Undersøgelsen bragte heller ikke noget frem i lyset, som kunne bevise, at der fandt skadelig dumping sted i forbindelse med sådanne tredjelandes eksport, og påstanden om diskrimination er således ikke berettiget.
(205) In this respect it is pointed out that no complaint against the above third countries was lodged and that therefore no prima facie evidence of dumping and injury justifying the initiation of an antidumping investigation was received As furthermore, the investigation has not brought to light any evidence of injurious dumping practices by such third country exports the allegation of discrimination is not founded.
(199) Visse eksporterende producenter i de berørte lande hævdede, at der var alt for store forsyninger på markedet i Fællesskabet i begyndelsen af undersøgelsesperioden.
(199) Certain exporting producers claimed that there was an oversupply of the Community market at the beginning of the investigation period.
EF-erhvervsgrenen øgede angiveligt fortsat sine forsyninger på markedet og var således den, der i største omfang bidrog til overudbuddet.
They argued that the Community industry was continuously increasing its deliveries on the market and was thus the main contributing factor in the oversupply.
EF-producenternes høje kapacitetsudnyttelse på grund af de store forsyninger skulle så efter deres mening udelukke, at nogen form for skade kunne tilskrives importen fra de berørte lande.
Accordingly, they argued that the high rate of capacity utilisation of the Community producers resulting from high deliveries should exclude any injury to be attributed to imports from the countries concerned.
(206) I den undersøgte periode viste andre tredjelandes andel af den samlede import til Fællesskabet af den pågældende vare en faldende tendens, men den var dog stadig betydelig.
(206) During the period examined, other third countries' share of total imports of the product concerned onto the Community market while remaining significant showed a decreasing trend.
Importmængden faldt fra 3,1 mio. tons i 1995 til 2,6 mio. tons i undersøgelsesperioden, dvs. 17 % udtrykt i mængde.
The import volume decreased from 3,1 million tonnes in 1995 to 2,6 million tonnes in the investigation period, namely a decrease by 17 % in terms of volume.
Denne import udgjorde 83 % af den samlede import i 1995, men kun 55 % i undersøgelsesperioden.
The share of these imports represented 83 % of total import volume in 1995 but only 55 % during the investigation period.
Andre tredjelandes andel af markedet i Fællesskabet formindskedes således 22 % i den under søgte periode.
Accordingly, throughout the period examined, the share of the Community market held by the other third countries decreased by 22 %.
(200) Den detaljerede analyse af udviklingen i det synlige forbrug i 1997 sammenlignet med undersøgelsespe rioden viste, at dette forbrug var 1,4 mìo. større i de to første kvartal af undersøgelsesperioden end i de tilsvarende kvartal af 1997.
(200) The detailed analysis of the development in apparent consumption in 1997 as compared to the investigation period showed that during the first two quarters of the investigation period apparent consumption was 1,4 million tonnes higher than in the corresponding quarters of 1997.
Sammenligningen skal vurderes på baggrund af, at 1,3 mio. tons varmtvalsede bredbånd importeredes til dumpingpriser fra de berørte lande i de to første kvartaler af undersøgelsesperioden, medens den tilsvarende importmængde i samme periode i 1997 var omkring 0,3 mio. tons.
This comparison should be seen in the light of the fact that 1,3 million of dumped hotrolled coils were imported from the countries concerned in the first two quarters of the investigation period whereas the corresponding volume imported in the same period in 1997 was about 0,3 million tonnes.
Det vil sige, at der var sket en stigning på 1 mio. tons i første halvdel af undersøgelsesperioden. perioden.
This represents an increase of 1 million tonnes during the first half of the investigation period.
(208) På grundlag af ovenstående kendsgerninger og betragtninger konstateredes det, at importen fra andre tredje lande fortsat var betydelig og til stede på markedet i Fællesskabet.
(208) Based on the above facts and considerations it was found that imports from other third countries remained significant and enjoyed a continued presence in the Community market during the period examined.
Det viste sig også, at stigningen i importen fra andre tredjelande var meget begrænset, samtidig med at EF-erhvervsgrenens situation blev værre og værre, navnlig fra 1997 til undersøgelsesperioden, hvor der var en massiv fremgang i den pågældende import.
However, it also emerged that while the situation of the Community industry only deteriorated in particular from 1997 to the investigation period, namely when the imports concerned surged massively, the increase in imports from other third countries was very limited.
(201) Som nævnt øgede forhandlerne deres lagerbeholdninger væsentligt i første halvdel af undersøgelsesperioden og medvirkede således til overudbuddet på markedet i Fællesskabet.
(201) Furthermore, it is recalled that traders significantly increased their stocks in the first half of the investigation period, thus participating to the oversupply of the Community market.
Det fremgik af undersøgelsen, at EF-erhvervsgrenen ikke er særlig aktiv i forhandlernes salgs kanaler, hvorimod de eksporterende producenter solgte store mængder via stålhandlerne.
The investigation revealed that the Community industry is not very active in the traders sales channel whereas the exporting producers sold significant quantities via traders.
EF-erhvervsgrenen bidrog således ikke til de lagerbeholdninger, som handlerne opbyggede i undersøgelsesperioden.
Accordingly, the Community industry did not feed the stocks piled by traders during the investigation period.
(209) Der kan derfor ikke tages hensyn til flere eksporterende producenters påstand om, at importen af varmtvalsede bredbånd fra andre tredjelande har været årsag til den skade, der er forvoldt EF-erhvervsgrenen.
(209) Accordingly, the suggestion by some exporting producers that the imports of hotrolled coils from other third countries are the cause of the injury suffered by the Community industry cannot be taken into consideration.
undersøgte periode.
d) Other producers in the Community
I slutningen af 1997 skulle erhvervsgrenen have foretrukket fortrinsvis at levere til forbundne parter på det bundne marked, før den leverede til uafhængige parter på det frie marked med det resultat, at brugerne var tvunget til at hente forsyninger uden for Fællesskabet.
At the end of 1997, the Community industry had allegedly given priority to supplying related parties in the captive market before supplying independent parties on the free market with the result that the users were forced to obtain their supplies from outside the Community.
Skaden kunne derfor ikke være forvoldt af importudviklingen.
Therefore, injury could not be caused by the development of imports.
