Derfor er enhver påstand om overtrædelse af artikel 6, stk. 2, i grundbeslutningen og diskriminerende behandling fra Kommissionens side ikke berettiget.
Consequently, any claims suggesting an infringement to Article 6(2) of the Basic Decision and discriminatory treatment by the Commission are not founded.
Kommissionen konstaterede, at ingen af de producenter, som Kommissionen havde undersøgt, havde importeret varmtvalsede bredbånd fra de pågældende lande i den undersøgte periode. Men visse stålservicecentre og rørproducenter forbundet med de pågældende EF-producenter havde importeret sådanne varer i denne periode.
In conclusion, the eight Community producers having fully cooperated in the investigation make up the Community industry for the purposes of this proceeding and they accounted for around 65 % of the total Community production of the product concerned.
De otte producenter, som samarbejdede fuldt ud i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, udgør således EF-erhvervsgrenen med henblik på denne procedure.
The Commission found that none of the producers investigated had imported hotrolled coils from the countries concerned during the period examined.
De tegnede sig for ca. 65 96 af den samlede produktion i Fællesskabet af den pågældende vare i undersøgelsespe rioden.
However, certain SSC's and tube producers related to these Community producers had made such imports during that period.
Disse producenter anses derfor for at være EF-erhvervsgrenen og omtales som sådan i det følgende, idet de tegner sig for en betydelig del af den samlede produktion i Fællesskabet af den pågældende vare som omhandlet i artikel 4, stk. 1, i grundbeslutningen.
These producers are accordingly considered as the Community industry and are referred to as such hereinafter as they represent a major proportion of total Community production within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the Basic Decision.
I overensstemmelse med resultaterne af definitionen af de relevante EF-markeder i betragtning 37-49 viste undersøgelsen imidlertid, at disse forbundne parter havde optrådt uafhængigt af de producenter, de var forbundne med i deres transaktioner på det frie marked.
In line with the findings on the definition of the relevant Community markets outlined in recitals (37) to (49), the investigation confirmed, however, that these related parties had acted independently from the producers related to them in their operations on the free market.
Følgelig kunne indkøbene ikke berøre de nævnte selskabers position som EF-producenter af den pågældende
Consequently, the purchases could not affect the status of the said companies as Community producers of the product concerned.
Synligt forbrug
Apparent consumption
Klagen blev indgivet på vegne af elleve ud af de seksten EF-producenter af varmtvalsede bredbånd, medens de øvrige fem støttede klagen.
Apparent consumption of hotrolled coils in the Community was established on the basis of the total sales made by the 16 Community producers on the free market and total imports of the product concerned into the Community as indicated in the Eurostat import stat istics and the exporting producers' replies to the questionnaires. tionnaires.
Fra 1995 til undersøgelsesperioden steg forbruget i Fællesskabet 9 96, fra 18,4 mio. tons til 20,1 mio. tons.
The Commission received ten replies to questionnaires from the complainant Community producers.
To af de ti EF-producenter, som besvarede Kommissionens spørgeskema, var ikke i stand til at forelægge alle de oplysninger, der blev anmodet om i forbindelse med undersøgelsen, i et format, som ville give mulighed for
Some exporting producers claimed that at least one Community producer included in the definition of the Community industry set out above received preferential treatment in relation to the requirements imposed on interested parties during antidumping investigations. In
Mellem 1996 og undersøgelsesperioden steg forbruget støt.
Between 1996 and the investigation period, apparent consumption increased steadily.
Den største stigning fandt sted mellem 1996 og 1997, hvor markedet øgedes med 22 96.
The main growth occurred between 1996 and 1997 when the market increased by 22 96.
Mellem 1997 og undersøgelsesperioden var stigningen dog kun 0,4 96.
Between 1997 and the investigation period, it increased by only 0,4 %.
Importen fra de berørte lande importen af varer fra Iran, og at proceduren burde afsluttes med hensyn til Iran.
Imports from the countries concerned
(70) a) Ubetydelig import
a) Negligible imports
På grundlag af artikel 3, stk. 4, og artikel 5, stk. 7, i grundbeslutningen blev vurderingen af, om importen var ubetydelig, foretaget i forhold til forbruget af den pågældende vare på markedet i Fællesskabet.
Based on the provisions of Articles 3(4) and 5(7) of the Basic Decision, the assessment of whether or not imports were negligible was made in relation to apparent consumption of the product concerned on the Community market.
Ifølge Eurostat-statistikker lå tre eksportlande, nemlig Indien, Iran og Sydafrika, ganske lidt over den tærskel på 1 96, der er fastsat i artikel 5, stk. 7, i grundbeslutningen.
On the basis of Eurostat statistics imports originating in three exporting countries, namely India, Iran and South Africa, were slightly above the 1 % threshold foreseen in Article 5(7) of the Basic Decision.
Hvad angår de påstande, der er fremsat af de indiske og de sydafrikanske eksporterende producenter, giver de forelagte beviser ikke grund til at antage, at deres import til Fællesskabet var ubetydelig, navnlig i betragtning af den metode, der anvendtes ved fastlæggelsen af det relevante marked i Fællesskabet som omhandlet i betragtning 37-49.
With respect to the claim by the Indian and South African exporting producers the evidence submitted provided no grounds for considering their imports into the Community as negligible, in particular given the methodology used to determine the relevant Community market set out in recitals (37) to (49) above.
1 modsætning til tilfældet Iran viste de relevante Eurostatoplysninger og besvarelserne af Kommissionens spørgeskema ikke en import under mindsteniveauet. Importen fra Indien og Sydafrika blev derfor anset for at ligge over mindsteniveauet som omhandlet i artikel 3, stk. 4, og artikel 5, stk. 7, i grundbeslutningen.
Indeed, unlike in the case of Iran, the relevant Eurostat information and the replies to the Commission's questionnaire did not show imports below the de minimis threshold.
(66) b) Kumulativ vurdering af importen
(66) b) Cumulative assessment of imports
Resultaterne af undersøgelsen viste, at: dumpingmargenen for hvert land som vist i ovenstående var mere end de minimis importmængden fra hvert land ikke var ubetydelig, når den blev sammenlignet med forbruget i Fælles skabet
India and South Africa contested the determination of apparent consumption, claiming that their imports were negligible and that they should, like Iran, be excluded from the scope of the investigation.
Som nævnt ovenfor konstateredes det, at Irans markedsandel ifølge Eurostat-importstatistikker lå lige over mindstetærskelen, nemlig på 1,2 96.
It was therefore examined whether all criteria were met to cumulate imports from the countries concerned. The results of the examination showed that:
Det konstateredes imidlertid også, at disse statistikker var i modstrid med de oplysninger, der blev indhentet og efterprøvet i forbindelse med Kommissionens kontrolbesøg hos den eneste eksporterende producent i Iran. Eurostat-statistikkerne var således ikke tilstrækkelig præcise til, at det var muligt udelukkende at vurdere landets markedsandel på grundlag af dem. Disse statistikker blev derfor også sammenlignet med de oplysninger, der forelå fra interesserede parter i proceduren, navnlig den eneste eksporterende producent i Iran og dennes forbundne importør i Fællesskabet.
(68) the margin of dumping relating to each country, as shown above, was more than de minimis; the volume of imports from each country was not negligible when compared to Community consump tion; the analysis of the conditions of competition between imported hotrolled coils and the conditions of competition between imported hotrolled coils and the like Community product also indicated that imports from the countries concerned should be cumulated.
Det var muligt og specielt relevant at foretage en sådan sammenligning i dette tilfælde, fordi der kun var en producent i Iran.
Hotrolled coils were also imported via related sales companies, which subsequently sold the product concerned to the same categories of customers mentioned above.
Da producenten og dennes forbundne selskaber i Fællesskabet samarbejdede fuldt ud i forbindelse med proceduren, var det muligt at efter prøve den pågældendes påstand ved en direkte sammen ligning af de efterprøvede eksporttransaktioner og Euro stat.
The investigation showed that the Community industry was selling the like product through the same sales channels and to the same categories of customers.
Ved denne efterprøvning og sammenligning blev det fastslået, at eksporten fra Iran lå langt under mindsteniveauet, og det konkluderedes, at forskelle mellem selskabets oplysninger og Eurostat ikke skyldtes eksport fra Iran til Fællesskabet via andre tredjelande.
Finally, it was found that a similar pricing policy was followed for all these sales.
Under disse omstændigheder blev det anset for klogt at anvende behørigt efterprøvede oplysninger til fastlæggelsen af Irans markedsandel.
As mentioned above, it was found that on the basis of Eurostat import statistics the market share held by Iran was just above the de minimis threshold, namely 1,2 %.
Konklusionen var, at eksporten fra Iran var under mindsteniveauet, at der kun kunne være tale om ubetydelig skade som følge af undersøgelsen af konkurrencebetingelserne mellem importerede varmtvalsede bredbånd og konkurrence betingelserne mellem importerede varmtvalsede bredbånd og samme vare fremstillet i Fællesskabet viste også, at importen fra de berørte lande burde kumuleres.
However, it was also found that these statistics conflicted with the information collected and verified during the Commission on-the-spot verification for the only exporting producer in Iran.
De pågældende eksportlande solgte fortrinsvis varmtvalsede bredbånd på det frie marked i Fællesskabet direkte til ikkeforbundne kunder såsom koldtval se værker, rørmagere, stålservicecent re og stålhandlere.
Accordingly, the Euro stat Statistics were thus not considered sufficiently precise to base the assessment of the market share held by that country exclusively on them.
Der blev også importeret varmtvalsede bredbånd via forbundne salgsselskaber, som efterfølgende solgte den pågældende vare til samme slags kunder som nævnt ovenfor.
These statistics were therefore also compared with the information available from interested parties in the proceeding, notably the only exporting producer in Iran and its related importers based in the Community.
Undersøgelsen viste, at erhvervsgrenen i Fællesskabet solgte samme vare via samme salgskanaler og til samme kundekategorier.
This comparison was possible and particularly relevant in the present case because only one producer operated in Iran.
(73) erhvervsgrenen.
(73) prices were also adjusted to ensure comparison at the same level of trade as that of the Community industry.
Alle justeringer blev foretaget på grundlag af de oplysninger, som Kommissionen indhentede og efterprøvede i forbindelse med undersøgelsen.
All adjustments were based on the evidence collected and verified by the Commission during the investigation.
I modsætning til hvad flere eksporterende producenter fremførte, konkluderede Kommissionen derfor, at alle betingelser for at kumulere importen fra ovennævnte lande var opfyldt.
Accordingly, contrary to the suggestion made by some exporting producers, the Commission concluded that all conditions justifying the cumulation of the imports from the abovementioned countries were met.
(80) c) Omfanget af åen pågældende import
(80) c) Volume of the imports concerned
Ifølge Eurostat-import statistikker mellem 1995 og undersøgelsesperioden steg importen til Fællesskabet fra de berørte lande 229 96, fra 0,65 mio. tons til 2,14 mio. tons.
Based on Eurostat import statistics, between 1995 and the investigation period, the volume of imports into the Community from the countries concerned increased by 229 96, namely from 0,65 million tonnes to 2,14 million tonnes.
Importudviklingen var meget begrænset (+0,10 mio. tons) mellem 1995 og 1996.
The increase of imports between 1995 and 1996 was very limited (+ 0,10 million tonnes).
Den største stigning fandt sted mellem 1997 og undersøgelsespe rioden (+ 1,26 mio. tons).
The main increase occurred between 1997 and the investigation period (+ 1,26 million tonnes).
Som allerede nævnt i betragtning 14 foreslog flere eksporterende producenter, at de varmtvalsede bredbånd de fremstillede og solgte på markedet i Fællesskabet, ikke var af en kvalitet, som kunne sammenlignes med EF-erhvervsgrenens varer.
As already mentioned in recital (14) some exporting producers suggested that the hotrolled coils they produced and sold on the Community market were not of a comparable quality to that of the Community industry.
En eksporterende producent hævdede, at deres varer til forskel fra produktionsprocessen i Fællesskabet ikke blev produceret via vedvarende støbning, og at dette giver kemiske og overfladiske fejl, som nedsætter udbyttet, når bredbåndene forarbejdes yderligere.
One exporting producer claimed that unlike the Community industry's production process, their products were not produced through continuous casting and this caused chemical and surface defects which lower the yield when the coils are processed further.
Desuden giver det forhold, at de ikke har en automatisk båndopruller, variationer i tykkelse og bredde og således en dårligere kvalitet.
In addition, the fact that they do not have an automatic 'coiler' leads to thickness and width variations, and thus to a poorer quality.
De forelagde beviser for dette og anmodede følgelig om en prisjustering for forskelle i kvalitet i forbindelse med den pris sammenligning, der blev foretaget for at fastsætte prisunderbuddet.
They submitted evidence to this effect and consequently requested a price adjustment for differences in quality in the context of the price comparisons which were made in determining price under cutting.
Undersøgelsen inden for undersøgelsesperioden viste, at importen fra alle de berørte lande fortrinsvis fandt sted i første halvdel af undersøgelsesperioden (1,3 mio. tons); den faldt senere 42 96 i anden halvdel af undersøgelsesperioden, men lå stadig betydeligt højere end i anden halvdel af 1997.
The analysis of the developments during the invest igation period indicated that imports from all the countries concerned were made mainly during the first half of the investigation period (1,3 million tonnes); they subsequently dropped by 42% in the second half of the investigation period but were still significantly higher than in the second half of 1997.
Som allerede nævnt i betragtning 11 klassificeres de forskellige typer varmtvalsede bredbånd almindeligvis i to særskilte kategorien sorte bredbånd og bejdsede bredbånd.
As already mentioned in recital (11) above, the various types of hotrolled coils are commonly classified into two distinct categories: black coils and pickled coils.
Det fremgik af undersøgelsen, at omkring 90 % af alle varmtvalsede bredbånd, som importeredes fra de berørte lande var sorte bredbånd.
The investigation showed that black coils covered around 90 % of all hotrolled coils imported from the countries concerned.
Kommissionen fastslog, at det i almindelighed ikke var berettiget med en prisjustering for forskelle i kvalitet, navnlig fordi sådanne forskelle ikke var synlige for brugerne, og det fremgik af undersøgelsen, at alle påståede forskelle i kvalitet ikke nødvendigvis betyder noget for anvendelsen af den pågældende vare. For en bestemt eksporterende producents vedkommende viste det forelagte bevismateriale imidlertid, at den ønskede justering for kvalitet delvis var berettiget.
The Commission found that, in general, a price adjustment for differences in quality was not justified, particularly as such differences were not apparent to users, and as it emerged from the investigation that any alleged difference in quality does not necessarily affect the use of the product concerned.
Da en detaljeret undersøgelse af den ønskede justering viste, at den var overvurderet, var det på grundlag af de foreliggende beviser kun muligt at indrømme halvdelen af den ønskede justering.
Although a detailed investigation of the level of the adjustment requested revealed that the claim was over estimated, based on the evidence available half of the requested adjustment could be granted.
Prissammenligningen gav følgende resultater udtrykt i procent af EF-erhvervsgrenens priser
Accordingly, the results of the price comparison expressed as a percentage of Community industry prices are as follows:
Mellem 1995 og undersøgelsesperioden var der en forøgelse af markedsandelen for de eksporterende producenter i de berørte lande fra 3,5 96 til 10,7 96.
The market share held by the exporting producers increased from 3,5 % to 10,7 96 between 1995 and the investigation period.
De faktiske stigninger i importmængden gav således de berørte lande mulighed for at vinde 7,2 procentpoints af andelen af markedet i Fællesskabet.
The actual increases in import volume thus allowed the countries concerned to gain 7,2 percentage points of the share of the Community market.
De største stigninger i markedsandelen forekom mellem 1997 og undersøgelsesperioden, hvor de berørte lande vandt 6,3 procentpoint.
The main increases in market share occurred between 1997 and the investigation period, when the countries concerned gained 6,3-percentage points market share.
For at vurdere eventuelle prisunderbud blev priserne på sammenlignelige typer af varmtvalsede bredbånd så vidt muligt sammenlignet under samme salgsvilkår på markedet i Fællesskabet, i samme medlemsstat og til samme kunder.
In order to evaluate any possible price undercutting, prices of comparable types of hotrolled coils were, as far as possible, compared under similar sales conditions on the Community market, in the same Member State and to the same customers.
Den eksporterende producents priser, frit Fællesskabets grænse, blev sammenlignet med EF-erhvervsgrenen s priser ab fabrik.
The prices of the exporting producer free at Community frontier were compared with the Community industry's ex-factory prices.
I påkommende tilfælde blev eksportlandenes salgspriser justeret til priser, frit Fællesskabets grænse, fortoldet og inklusive relevante importomkostninger.
Where necessary, exporting countries' sales prices were adjusted to a free at Community-frontier level, customs duty paid and including relevant import costs.
Situationen for erhvervsgrenen i Fællesskabet mellem 1995 og undersøgelsesperioden
Situation of the Community industry between 1995 and the investigation period
Det blev fastslået, at en stor kapacitetsudnyttelse var normal, da det bør erindres, at det i den tunge industri og ganske særlig i stålindustrien er nødvendigt at holde kapacitetsudnyttelsen så stor som muligt for at reducere virkningerne af de høje faste produktionsomkostninger.
The high utilisation rates were found to be normal bearing in mind that in heavy industry, particularly in the steel industry, high capacity utilisation is necessary to reduce the impact of the high fixed costs of produc tion.
(83) c) Ordrer og salg
(83) c) Orders received and sales volume i) Orders received
Undersøgelsen viste, at EF-erhvervsgrenens produktion toppede med 12,5 mìo. tons i 1997.
The investigation showed that Community industry's production peaked at 12,5 million tonnes in 1997.
I den resterende del af den undersøgte periode var produktionen stabil på omkring 11,4 mio. tons til trods for et fald i forbruget i 1996. Denne produktion blev enten solgt på det frie marked eller eksporteret til tredjelande.
For the remainder of the period examined the Community industry's production remained stable at around 11,4 million tonnes although a fall in consumption was observed in 1996.
Da EF-erhvervsgrenens produktionskapacitet anvendes til varmtvalsede bredbånd, der er bestemt til både det frie og det bundne marked, blev det også anset for nødvendigt at undersøge oplysningerne om sådan produktion til det bundne marked for at konstatere, at et fald i produktionen til det frie marked ikke kunne tilskrives et større behov for produktion til det bundne marked.
As the production capacity of the Community industry is used for hotrolled coils intended for both the free and the captive market, it was also considered necessary to analyse information on such captive production in order to ascertain that any drop in the production intended for the free market was not due to an increased need for the captive market.
Som et supplement til analysen af salget blev der foretaget en undersøgelse af udviklingen i de ordrer, som EF-erhvervsgrenen modtog.
In order to complement the analysis on sales, the development of the orders received by the Community industry was examined.
Til dette formål forelagde erhvervsgrenen oplysninger, som også er til rådighed inden for rammerne af tilsynet med stålmarkedet i Fællesskabet i henhold til EKSF-traktaten.
For this purpose, the Community industry submitted data which is also avail able under the framework of the surveillance of the Community steel market under the ECSC Treaty.
Selv om disse oplysninger ikke helt nøjagtigt gengiver situationen vedrørende den pågældende vare, men også omfatter en lidt bredere varekategori, var det muligt at anse denne sammenlægning af oplysninger som repræsentativ for situationen vedrørende den pågældende vare.
Although these data do not reflect exactly the situation with respect to the product concerned but encompassed a slightly broader category of products, it was found that this aggregation of data could be considered representative for the situation of the product concerned.
Disse oplysninger viste, at 1997 var det år, hvor ordreniveauet var højt i forhold til den situation, der konstateredes i undersøgelsesperioden.
These data showed that 1997 was a year where the level of orders was high as compared to the situation found during the investigation period.
I modsætning til den stabile udvikling i det synlige forbrug mellem 1997 og undersø gelsesperioden var der en nedgang på 17 96 i erhvervsgrenens ordrer mellem 1997 og undersøgelsesperioden.
Contrary to the stable development of the apparent consumption between 1997 and the investigation period shown above, orders received by the Community industry declined by 17 96 between 1997 and the investigation period.
Faldet i produktionen af den pågældende vare til det frie marked skyldtes således ikke et større behov for produk- tion til det bundne marked.
Consequently, the decrease in production intended for the free market is not due to a greater need for captive production.
Ifølge dette resultat var EF-erhvervsgrenens økonomiske aktiviteter mere regelmæssige og ligeligt spredt ud over hele 1997, hvor ordremængden udviklede sig mere på linje med salgsmængden.
The above finding suggests that the economic activity of the Community industry was more regular and evenly spread throughout the year 1997 when the volume of orders received developed more in line with sales volume.
Da der er en tidsforskel mellem ordrer og leverancer, tydede nedgangen i ordremængden på, at der også var tale om nedgang i de økonomiske aktiviteter, hvilket vil blive undersøgt i det følgende.
Furthermore, given the existence of a time lag between orders and deliveries, the reduction in the orders received indicated a reduction of the level of the economic activity, which will be examined below.
I den undersøgte periode steg salget fra 9,6 mio. tons til 9,7 mio. tons, dvs. 1 96.
During the period examined, the volume of sales slightly increased from 9,6 million tonnes to 9,7 million tonnes, an increase of 1 96.
