(251) Udviklingen i det fjerde kvartal i undersøgelsesperioden viser, at EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation kun forværredes yderligere sammenlignet med det gennem snitlige aktivitetsniveau i undersøgelsesperioden: produktionen faldt 18 96, kapacitetsudnyttelsen 10 96, salgs mængden 22 96, priserne 13 96, og rentabiliteten blev negativ (-2,6 96 af nettoudbyttet), et fald på 15,5 procentpoint.
(251) Furthermore, the developments observed during the fourth quarter of the investigation period indicated that the situation of the Community industry only deteriorated further as compared to the average activity of the investigation period production decreased by 18%, capacity utilisation by 10%, sales volume by 22%, prices by 13 % profitability became negative (- 2,6 % on net turnover), a decrease of 15,5 percentage points.
(245) Som nævnt i analysen på år-til-år-basis hævdede EF-erhvervsgrenen, at det var nødvendigt at tage hensyn til tidsforskellen mellem salget af varerne og prisforhandlingeme med de pågældende kunder, når udviklingen i dens priser og rentabilitet skulle vurderes.
(245) As already mentioned in the year to year analysis above, the Community industry alleged that, in assessing its price and profitability development, the existence of a time lag between the sales of the goods and price negotiation with customers related to such sales should be considered.
Udviklingen efter undersøgelsesperioden berørte eksporterende producenter mulighed for at følge en skiftevis stimulerende og bremsende kurs i forbindelse med deres eksport, hvis det gøres berettiget, at der ikke indføres foranstaltninger af hensyn til et fald i importen, som kunne være tidsbegrænset.
Developments after the investigation period decrease in imports, which may be limited in time, to justify the non-imposition of measures would allow the exporting producers concerned to adopt a stop-and-go policy for their exports.
Noget sådant ville få meget forstyrrende virkninger for alle produkter på markedet i Fællesskabet, og det er derfor ikke muligt at anvende det i den foreliggende sag som begrundelse for ikke at indføre udligningsforanstaltninger.
It is considered that this would have highly disruptive effect on the Community market for any product and therefore can not in the present circumstances serve as a justification for not imposing countervailing measures.
(252) Som nævnt førte lageroverskuddene i første halvdel af undersøgelsen til en forholdsvis positiv markedssituation, som gav sig udslag i et godt prisniveau på markedet i Fællesskabet i samme periode.
(252) As mentioned above, the overstocking which occurred during the first half of the investigation led to a relatively positive market situation reflected in the good level of prices on the Community market during this time period.
Det er også blevet hævdet, at den høje import koncent ration i undersøgelsesperioden kun var et korttidsfænomen.
Finally, it has been claimed that the phenomenon of high imports concentrated in the investigation period was only short-lived.
I mellemtiden har markedspriserne i Fælles skabet nået et niveau, der kan sikre en hurtig genoprettelse af EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation.
In the meantime market prices in the Community have reached levels which ensure a quick recovery of the economic situation of the Community industry.
(258) En detaljeret analyse viser, at EF-erhvervsgrenens priser fortsat forringedes og nåede meget lave niveauer i de to første kvartaler af 1999.
(258) It should be noted that detailed analysis demonstrates that Community industry prices continued to deteriorate and reached very low levels during the first two quarters of 1999.
Prisfaldet udløste store finansielle tab, som EF-erhvervsgrenen måtte afholde over et langt tidsrum.
This price decrease triggered considerable financial losses, which the Community industry incurred during a considerable period of time.
(253) Som nævnt af flere eksporterende producenter fandt der en vis genopretning sted af den mængde, som EF-erhvervsgrenen fremstillede og solgte i begyndelsen af 1999.
(253) As pointed out by some exporting producers it was found that a certain degree of recovery occurred in the volume produced and sold by the Community industry at the beginning of 1999.
(254) Dette bekræftede de negative virkninger af det massive lageroverskud, som ophobede sig i begyndelsen af undersøgelsesperioden, og den formindskelse af lagerbeholdningerne, som startede i tredje kvartal af undersøgelsesperioden og fortsatte trods nedgang i den faktiske import i første halvdel af 1999.
(259) On the one hand, the year-to-year analysis of the situation of the Community industry in the period from 1995 to the investigation period showed a number of negative developments.
Ud over lageroverskuddet kunne forsinkelsen i den negative udvikling for EF-erhvervsgrenen også tilskrives den tidsforskel, som erhvervsgrenen arbejder med i forbindelse med sine kunder. Dette viser sig ikke kun i udviklingen af skadesindikatorcr som produktion, salg, priser og rentabilitet, men også i udviklingen af de ordrer, som EF-erhvervsgrenen modtog.
In addition, the quarterly analysis indicated that the economic situation of the Community industry significantly deteriorated throughout the investigation period.
(259) På den ene side viste analysen på år-til-år-basis af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation i perioden en række negative udviklinger i perioden fra 1995 til undersøgelsespe rioden.
(254) This confirmed the negative effect of the massive over stocking which occurred at the beginning of the invest igation period and the de-stocking which began during the third quarter of the investigation period and continued, despite a decrease in actual imports, throughout the first half of 1999.
Den kvartalsvise analyse viste desuden, at erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation forværredes betydeligt i hele undersøgelsesperioden.
Apart from the effect of overstocking, the delay with which the negative development of the Community industry occurred was also due to the time lag under which the Community industry operates with its customers.
I modsætning til hvad flere eksporterende producenter antydede, er disse udviklinger repræsentative for erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i hele undersøgelsesperioden under hensyn til de særlige karakteristika på markedet i Fælles skabet hvad angår lageroverskud og tidsforskel mellem ordrer og leverancer.
This is apparent not only from the development of the injury indicators such as production, sales, prices and profitability, but also from the development of the orders received by the Community industry.
(255) Flere parter hævdede, at det ikke var nødvendigt at indføre udligningsforanstaltninger i denne procedure, da den pågældende import ophørte efter undersøgelsespe rioden.
(255) Some parties have claimed that the imposition of countervailing measures in the present proceeding was unnecessary as the imports concerned ceased after the investigation period.
(260) Undersøgelsen viste også, at den negative udvikling fortsatte og endog forværredes efter udløbet af undersøgelsesperioden, hvilket var specielt relevant på baggrund af, hvordan markedet i Fællesskabet fungerer.
(260) The investigation has also shown that these negative developments continued and even worsened after the end of the investigation period, a development which is particularly relevant in view of the functioning and the situation of the Community market.
(256) Undersøgelsen viste, at importen på grundlag af generelle eller ukontrollerede oplysninger var faldet siden begyndelsen af undersøgelsesperioden, navnlig i forbindelse med nogle af de lande, der er omfattet af proceduren.
(256) The investigation showed that, based on generally avail able or unverified information, imports, in particular for some of the countries concerned by the present proceeding, have fallen since the beginning of the invest igation period.
Dette er dog ikke et usædvanligt fænomen i antisubsidie- og antidumpingundersøgelser, da markedets aktører og ganske særlig importørerne, tager hensyn til, at undersøgelserne kræver en forsigtig vurdering af markedet for så vidt som de kan føre til indførelse af udlignings- og antidumpingsforanstaltninger.
However, this is not an unusual phenomenon in anti-subsidy and antidumping investigations as market participants, in particular importers, take into account the fact that investigations require prudent assessment of the market insofar as they can lead to the imposition of countervailing and antidumping measures.
Aktørernes reaktion kan være mere eller mindre udtalt.
The reaction of market participants can be more or less pronounced.
Under alle omstændigheder ville det give de
In any event, taking into account the
I tredje og fjerde kvartal af undersøgelsespe rioden sammenlignet med tredje og fjerde kvartal i 1997 faldt produktionen henholdsvis 20 96 og 11%, kapacitetsudnyttelsen 12 96 og 18 96, salgspriserne var 6 % og 19 96, og rentabiliteten var positiv både i 1997 og i undersøgelsesperioden, men 15 procentpoint lavere i fjerde kvartal af undersøgelsesperioden i forhold til fjerde kvartal af 199 7. Alle disse tendenser blev bekræftet i de to kvartaler efter undersøgelsesperioden.
In the third and fourth quarter of the investigation period as compared to the third and fourth quarter of 1997: production decreased by 20 % and 11 % respectively, capacity utilisation by 12% and 18%, sales prices were 6% and 19% and profitability was positive both in 1997 and during the investigation period but it was 15 percentage points lower in the fourth quarter of the IP as compared to the fourth quarter of 1997.
(267) På grundlag af udviklingen i EF-erhvervsgrenens situa tion i perioden fra 1995 til undersøgelsesperioden og i undersøgelsesperioden i særdeleshed konkluderer Kommissionen, at der er forvoldt den pågældende erhvervsgren skade i undersøgelsesperioden, i modsætning til påstanden om, at de økonomiske indikatorer, der viste skade, i stort omfang blev opvejet af andre indikatorer, som viste, at der ikke var tale om skade, fremgik det af den detaljerede undersøgelse, at alle økonomiske indikatorer udviklede sig negativt, navnlig fortjeneste og salgspriser med en tidsforskel på et par måneder.
(267) Based on the developments in the situation of the Community industry during the period from 1995 to the investigation period and during the investigation period in particular, the Commission has concluded that the Community industry has suffered injury during the investigation period. Contrary to the suggestion that the economic indicators showing injury are largely outweighed by other indicators showing lack of injury, the above detailed investigation showed that all economic indicators developed negatively, in particular profits and sales prices with a time lag of a few months.
Omfanget af den forvoldte skade gør, at den kan betegnes som væsentlig i overensstemmelse med artikel 8, stk. 6, i grundbeslutningen.
The magnitude of the injury suffered enables it to be classified as material in accordance with the provisions of Article 8(6) of the Basic Decision.
(263) Undersøgelsen viste, at disse tendenser ville endog have været endnu mere negative uden særlige salg som salg i henhold til langtidskontrakter eller salg af bejdsede bredbånd, som i mindre grad er berørt af den pågældende import.
(263) The investigation then revealed that the above trends would have been even more negative without specific sales such as those under long term contracts or those of pickled coils, which are less affected by the imports concerned.
De ordrer, som EF-erhvervsgrenen modtog til levering i fjerde kvartal af undersøgelsesperioden, var 31 96 lavere end dem, der blev modtaget til levering i første kvartal i undersøgelsesperioden.
The orders received by the Community industry for delivery in the fourth quarter of the invest igation period were 31 % lower than those received for delivery in the first quarter of the investigation period.
(264) På den anden side viste analysen på år-til-år-basis, at den gennemsnitlige fortjeneste steg fra 1997 til undersøgelsesperioden og nåede op på 12,9 96.
(264) On the other hand, the year-to-year analysis has shown that average profit rates increased from 1997 to the investigation period, reaching a level of 12,9 %.
(268) 1 forbindelse med denne analyse er det vigtigt at huske, at den pågældende vare er et meget prisfølsomt produkt.
(268) In the present analysis it should be borne in mind that the product concerned is a very price sensitive product.
Desuden rummer markedet en lang række særlige karakteristika: forholdet mellem EF-erhvervsgrenen og visse brugere er et langtidsforhold; produktionsopsætningen og planlægningen medfører en vis tidsforskel mellem ordre og levering; og erhvervsgrenen arbejder mere i visse markedssegmenter end de eksporterende producenter.
In addition, the market for this product, as shown above, has a number of particular characteristics: the relationship between the Community industry and certain users is long-term; production set-up and planning entails a certain time lag between order and delivery; and the Community industry operates more in certain market segments than the exporting producers concerned.
Det viser kun, at visse salgskanaler og visse varetyper er mere udsat for konkurrence fra den pågældende import end andre
It only indicates that certain sales channels and certain types of product are more prone to competition from the imports concerned than others.
(265) Hvad angår disse resultater, som ved første øjekast kunne synes at være i modstrid med en afgørelse om skade, viste undersøgelsen, at de svarede til et højt synligt forbrug i første halvår af undersøgelsesperioden, der som det blev bekræftet i undersøgelsen, ikke blev opvejet af et faktisk forbrug.
(265) Regarding these findings, which could at first sight appear to be contrary to a finding of injury, the invest igation has shown that they were in line with a high level of apparent consumption during the first semester of the investigation period which, the investigation has confirmed, was not matched by actual consumption.
(269) For at drage en konklusion angående årsagerne til skade undersøgte Kommissionen virkningerne af den subsidie rede import fra de berørte lande for den skadelige situa tion for EF-erhvervsgrenen.
(269) In order to reach its conclusions on the cause of the injury suffered by the Community industry, the Commission examined the impact of the subsidised imports from the countries concerned.
Samtidig blev også virkningerne af andre kendte faktorer og eventuelle følgevirkninger for den pågældende erhvervsgrens situation også undersøgt.
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 den subsidierede import, bliver identificeret og ikke tilskrevet denne import.
Such analysis ensured that any injury caused by other factors than subsidised imports would be identified and not attributed to these imports.
(266) Den efterfølgende analyse af EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske situation i de to første kvartaler i 1999 bekræftede, at disse negative tendenser ikke var begrænset til undersøgelsesperioden, men var de direkte resultater af udviklingen i denne periode Produktionen og salgs mængden forbedredes noget sammenlignet med anden halvdel af undersøgelsesperioden, men salgspriserne og fortjenesten var fortsat faldende.
(266) The subsequent analysis of the economic situation of the Community industry in the first two quarters of 1999 confirmed that these negative trends were not confined to the investigation period and were the direct results of the developments during the investigation period. While production and sales volume improved somewhat compared to the second half of the investigation period, sales prices and profitability continued to decrease.
Ifølge grundbeslutningen og som bekræftet i afgørelse fra Domstolen, kan der tages hensyn til oplysninger vedrørende tiden efter udløbet af undersøgelsesperioden, navnlig med henblik på at få fastlagt, om de tendenser, der er konstateret i løbet af undersøgelsesperioden, fortsætter.
It should be noted that the Basic Decision as confirmed by the jurisprudence of the Court permits the information pertaining to the time period after the end of the invest igation period to be taken into account, in particular in
(270) 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 eksport resultat er og stålindustriens situation på verdensplan. plan.
(270) 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 den subsidierede import a) Den subsidierede imports mængde og opbygning af lagre
Impact of subsidised imports a) Impact of the volume of subsidised imports and stockpiling
(277) For at vurdere hele denne udvikling bør det nævnes, at udviklingen i EF-erhvervsgrenens situation var særlig negativ, udtalt og øjeblikkelig i forbindelse med de salgs kanaler og varetyper, hvor de eksporterende producenter især er aktive.
(277) In order to fully assess this development it should be bome in mind that the development of the situation of the Community industry was particularly negative, pronounced and immediate in sales channels and for product types in which the exporting producers are mainly active.
De pågældende producenter er ikke ret aktive i salgskanaler, hvor der indgås langtidskontrakter. Her har EF-erhvervsgrenen klaret sig bedre end i andre salgskanaler, hvor konkurrencen fra importen var mere udtalt.
Indeed, these producers are not very 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 96 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.
Undersøgelsen viste, at den pågældende import steg betydeligt, navnlig mellem 1997 og undersøgelsespe rioden.
(271) The investigation showed that the imports concerned increased considerably, in particular between 1997 and the investigation period.
Medens der i 1995 kun indførtes 8 000 tons varmtvalsede bredbånd til markedet i Fællesskabet fra de berørte lande, var der i 1997 tale om 47 000 tons.
While in 1995, only 8 000 tonnes of hotrolled coils entered the Community market from the countries concerned, in 1997, this rose to 47 000 tonnes.
funk b) Virkningen af importprisen og stålmarkedets tionsmåde
b) Impact of the import price level and functioning of the steel market
(272) Den største stigning i importen fandt sted i perioden fra 1997 til undersøgelsesperioden (+ 797 tons), navnlig i de to første kvartaler af undersøgelsesperioden.
(272) The investigation also showed that the major increase in imports occurred During the period between 1997 to the investigation period (+ 797 000 tonnes) and particularly during the first two quarters of the investigation period.
I den pågældende periode blev der leveret over 550 000 tons til markedet i Fællesskabet.
During that period over 550 000 tonnes were delivered onto the Community market.
Dette repræsenterer mere end ti gange importmængden i andet halvår af 1997.
This represents more than 10 times the import volume of the second semester 1997.
Mellem 1997 og undersøgelsesperioden steg de berørte landes markedsandel 4 procentpoint.
Between 1997 and the investigation period, the market share held by the countries concerned increased by 4 percentage points.
(273) I perioden fra 1995 til undersøgelsesperioden steg EF-erhvervsgrenens salg kun 1 96 samtidig med at forbruget i Fællesskabet steg 9 96, og den tabte således 3,7 procent point i markedsandel.
(273) During the period from 1995 to the investigation period while Community consumption increased by 9 96, the Community industry's sales volume increased by only 1 % and it thus lost 3,7 percentage points of its market share.
(278) 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.
(278) 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 structure and 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 consumption during the investigation period.
(274) Perioden med denne importstigning (1997 til udgangen af undersøgelsesperioden) faldt sammen med forværringen af EF-erhvervsgrenens situation.
(274) As far as the period of the import surge (1997 to the investigation period) is concerned, it coincided with the deterioration of the Community industry's situation.
Produktionen faldt 9 96 og salget 12 96.
Production decreased by 9 % and sales volume by 12%.
Tabet i markedsandele udgjorde 6,6 procentpoint og i ordrer 17 96.
The loss in market share amounted to 6,6 percentage points and orders by 17%.
(279) 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 kraftigt.
(279) Concerning the general functioning of the market, it has been found that, given the time lag between orders and deliveries (at least one quarter), the situation of the Community industry during the first quarter of the investigation period, basically reflected the situation of orden placed during the fourth quarter of 1997, when imports started to surge.
(275) Hele udviklingen i importmængden sammenholdt med udviklingen i det synlige forbrug viser, at den pågældende subsidierede import 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.
(275) In addition, the development of import volumes, taken together with the development of apparent consumption shown earlier, indicates that the subsidised 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
