The majority of the EMD produced by this company was apparently used in its own battery production.
Suurem osa kõnealuse äriühingu toodetud elektrolüütilisi mangaandioksiide kasutati äriühingu enda patareide tootmises.
However, this company played an increasing role on the Community EMD market as well.
Nimetatud äriühing mängis siiski ka ühenduse elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide turul järjest suuremat rolli.
It is clear that the general picture of other EC producers is influenced by the fact that one ceased its activities in 2003 and the other did not sell any substantial quantities on the EC market during the period considered.
On selge, et teiste EÜ tootjate puhul mõjutab üldpilti asjaolu, et üks tootja lõpetas 2003. aastal tegevuse ja teine ei müünud vaatlusalusel perioodil kõnealuseid tooteid EÜ turul märkimisväärses koguses.
However, from the data obtained in the investigation it may be concluded that these Community producers were also affected by the pressure exerted on prices by South African imports and the developments on the market, since their market share decreased from a range of 10 to 25 % to a range of 4 to 10 %.
Uurimise käigus kogutud andmete põhjal võib siiski järeldada, et Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit impordi hinnasurve mõjutas ka neid ühenduse tootjaid, sest nende turuosa vähenes 10–25 %lt kuni 4–10 %ni.
Consequently, the sales of other Community producers cannot have been responsible for the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Järelikult ei saanud teiste ühenduse tootjate müük põhjustada ühenduse tootmisharule tekitatud kahju.
Contraction in demand
Nõudluse vähenemine
It was also examined whether or not the contraction in demand on the Community market may have contributed to the injury suffered during the period considered.
Uuriti ka seda, kas vaatlusalusel perioodil kantud kahjule võis kaasa aidata nõudluse vähenemine ühenduse turul.
This was not found to be the case.
See ei leidnud kinnitust.
As established in recitals 52 and 77, the Community industry’s sales decreased by more than the total Community consumption while the corresponding market share held by the South African imports increased significantly.
Nagu põhjendustes 0 ja 0 märgitud, vähenes ühenduse tootmisharu müük rohkem kui ühenduse kogutarbimine, samal ajal kui Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit impordi turuosa suurenes märgatavalt.
Increase in raw material prices
Tooraine hinnatõus
It was argued that injury had been caused mainly by the worldwide increase in the price of the basic raw material: manganese ore.
Väideti, et kahju põhjustas peamiselt põhilise tooraine, mangaanimaagi, ülemaailmne hinnatõus.
Manganese ore prices which remained stable until 2004 suddenly doubled in 2005 and decreased slightly during the IP.
Mangaanimaagi hinnad, mis püsisid 2004. aastani stabiilsetena, kahekordistusid 2005. aastal äkki ja langesid veidi uurimisperioodil.
This increased the Community industry’s unit cost of production by 19 %.
See suurendas ühenduse tootmisharu ühiku omahinda 19 %.
However, as the prices of imports from South Africa only increased by one percentage point during the same period (2004/05), the Community industry, which attempted to compete with dumped imports and stay in the market, could not pass on the total cost increase to downstream users.
Kuna Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit impordi hinnad suurenesid samal ajavahemikul (2004/2005) vaid ühe protsendipunkti võrra, ei saanud ühenduse tootmisharu, kes üritas konkureerida dumpinguhinnaga impordiga ja turul püsida, kogu kulude suurenemist üle kanda tootmisahela järgmise etapi kasutajatele.
The Community industry was only able to increase its prices by four percentage points, which thus remained below the cost of production.
Ühenduse tootmisharu sai hindu tõsta vaid nelja protsendipunkti võrra, mis ei katnud aga tootmiskulusid.
Total cost of production, 2002 = 100
Tootmiskulud kokku, 2002 = 100
Total unit cost per tonne, 2002 = 100
Ühiku hind tonni kohta kokku, 2002 = 100
Unit sales price, 2002 = 100
Ühiku müügihind, 2002 = 100
In these circumstances, it was considered that the cost increase was not per se the factor causing injury but the fact that the Community industry was not able to pass on the cost increases to its customers due to the downward price pressure exerted by the dumped imports from South Africa, which did not reflect the rise in prices of raw materials.
Neil asjaoludel leiti, et kahju ei tekitanud kulude suurenemine iseenesest, vaid see, et ühenduse tootmisharu ei saanud kulude suurenemist klientidele üle kanda, kuna Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit import, mis ei kajastanud toorainehindade tõusu, põhjustas hinnalanguse. Seepärast tuli kõnealune väide tagasi lükata.
It was argued by some parties that the global oversupply of EMD caused by the increased production capacity in China has depressed EMD prices and is thus the cause of the injury to the Community industry.
Mõned asjaomased isikud väitsid, et elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide liigpakkumine, mille põhjustas Hiina tootmisvõimsuse suurenemine, on elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide hinnad alla löönud ja seega tekitanud kahju ühenduse tootmisharule.
However, given the low volume of imports from China and despite their relatively low prices in the period considered, this allegation was found not to be valid.
Arvestades Hiinast pärit impordi väikest mahtu ja hoolimata selle suhteliselt madalatest hindadest vaatlusalusel perioodil, ei leidnud see väide siiski kinnitust.
Increasing competition among battery producers
Patareide tootjate vahelise konkurentsi teravnemine
It was further argued by some parties that the decrease in the Community industry’s sales prices of EMD was the result of increasing competition among battery producers and the price pressure suffered by them rather than of dumped imports from South Africa.
Mõned asjaomased isikud väitsid ka, et ühenduse tootmisharu elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide müügihindade langus tulenes pigem patareide tootjate vahelise konkurentsi teravnemisest ja neile avalduvast hinnasurvest kui Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit dumpinguhinnaga impordist.
The investigation showed that indeed battery producers in the EC were subject to price pressure resulting from global increase in the costs of raw materials and increased competition.
Uurimisel selgus, et EÜ patareide tootjad sattusid tõepoolest tooraine ülemaailmsest hinnatõusust ja konkurentsi teravnemisest tingitud hinnasurve alla.
However, it was found that given the low number of EMD producers operating on the Community market, they had a significant power to negotiate the prices of the product concerned with the battery producers.
Ühenduse turul tegutsevate elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide tootjate väikest arvu arvestades leiti siiski, et neil oli märkimisväärne voli patareide tootjatega vaatlusaluse toote hindades kokku leppida.
It is therefore considered that the decrease in the Community sales prices of EMD directly derives from the dumped imports and the undercutting practised by the South African exporting producer from the beginning of the period considered and not from the alleged price pressure exerted by the battery producers.
Seepärast leitakse, et elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide müügihindade langus ühenduses on otseselt tingitud dumpinguhinnaga impordist ja hindade allalöömisest Lõuna-Aafrika eksportiva tootja poolt alates vaatlusaluse perioodi algusest, aga mitte patareide tootjate väidetavast hinnasurvest.
In light of the above, it was provisionally concluded that the increasing competition among battery producers did not break the causal link between dumped imports from South Africa and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Eespool öeldut silmas pidades järeldati esialgu, et patareide tootjate vahelise konkurentsi teravnemine ei kõrvaldanud põhjuslikku seost Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit dumpinguhinnaga impordi ja ühenduse tootmisharu kantud kahju vahel.
The above analysis shows that there was a dramatic increase in the volume and market share of the imports originating in South Africa over the whole period considered, together with a considerable decrease in their prices coupled with a significant price undercutting during the IP.
Eelnevast analüüsist selgub, et Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit impordi maht ja turuosa suurenesid märkimisväärselt kogu vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul, samal ajal kui impordihinnad langesid märgatavalt ja uurimisperioodil toimus oluline hindade allalöömine.
Furthermore, an examination of the other factors which could have injured the Community industry revealed that none of these could have had such a significant negative impact on the industry as the dumped imports from South Africa.
Lisaks sellele selgus ühenduse tootmisharu kahjustada võinud muude tegurite uurimisel, et ükski neist teguritest ei saanud avaldada ühenduse tootmisharule sellist märkimisväärset kahjulikku mõju nagu Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit dumpinguhinnaga import.
Based on the above, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports caused material injury to the Community industry in the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Eelöeldu põhjal järeldatakse esialgu, et dumpinguhinnaga import tekitas ühenduse tootmisharule olulist kahju algmääruse artikli 3 lõike 6 tähenduses.
Pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it has been examined whether, despite the conclusions on dumping, injury and causal link, compelling reasons exist that would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Community interest to impose anti-dumping measures on imports from the country concerned.
Vastavalt algmääruse artiklile 21 uuriti, kas dumpingu, kahju ja põhjusliku seose kohta tehtud järeldustest hoolimata on olemas kaalukaid põhjusi, mille põhjal saaks järeldada, et dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamine vaatlusalusest riigist pärit impordi suhtes ei ole ühenduse huvides.
It is recalled that the Community industry consists of one producer with production facilities in Greece, whose sales and profitability deteriorated significantly during the period considered, with a consequent negative impact on its market share, employment, return on investment and cash flow.
Tuleb meenutada, et ühenduse tootmisharu koosneb ühest tootjast, kelle tootmisüksused asuvad Kreekas ning kelle müük ja tasuvus vähenesid vaatlusalusel perioodil märgatavalt, mis avaldas negatiivset mõju tema turuosale, tööhõivele, investeeringutasuvusele ja rahavoole.
If measures are not imposed it is likely that, as a result of the price pressure from the dumped imports, the lack of profitability will force the Community industry to cease production of EMD in the Community.
Kui meetmeid ei kehtestata, on tõenäoline, et dumpinguhinnaga impordi põhjustatud hinnasurvest tulenev tasuvuse puudumine sunnib ühenduse tootmisharu lõpetama elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiide tootmist ühenduses.
It is recalled that one of the Community producers ceased production during the period considered.
Tuleb meenutada, et üks ühenduse tootja lõpetas vaatlusalusel perioodil tootmise.
This coincided with increased pressure from South African imports on the Community market.
See langes ajaliselt kokku Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit impordi suurenenud survega ühenduse turul.
Moreover, the complainant Community producer was forced to temporarily cease production for one month in 2003, and has informed the Commission of a similar situation for a longer period in 2007.
Peale selle oli kaebuse esitanud ühenduse tootja sunnitud 2003. aastal tootmise ajutiselt üheks kuuks lõpetama ja on komisjoni teavitanud samasugusest pikema kestusega olukorrast 2007. aastal.
It is noted that, like the South African exporting producer, the Community industry produces only EMD and the production lines cannot be used to produce any other products.
Märgitakse, et ühenduse tootmisharu, nagu ka Lõuna-Aafrika eksportiv tootja, toodab üksnes elektrolüütilisi mangaandioksiide ja nende tootmisliine ei saa kasutada ühegi muu toote valmistamiseks.
However, following the imposition of anti-dumping measures, it is expected that the sales volumes and prices of the Community industry on the Community market will rise, thus improving profitability of the Community industry and preventing closure.
Pärast dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamist on siiski oodata ühenduse tootmisharu müügimahu suurenemist ja hindade tõusu ühenduse turul, mis suurendab ühenduse tootmisharu tasuvust ja hoiab ära tegevuse lõpetamise.
It is therefore clear that anti-dumping measures would be in the interests of the Community industry.
Seepärast on selge, et dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamine oleks ühenduse huvides.
The only industry that uses EMD is primary cell alkaline and carbon-zinc battery producers.
Ainus elektrolüütilisi mangaandioksiide kasutav tootmisharu on leeliselement- ja süsinik-tsink-patareide tootjad.
As mentioned above, questionnaires were sent to all known battery producers in the Community.
Nagu eespool märgitud, saadeti küsimustikud kõigile teadaolevatele patareide tootjatele ühenduses.
Replies were received from four companies representing 93 % of the Community consumption; three of the replies were verified on the spot.
Vastused saadi neljalt äriühingult, kelle tarbimine moodustab 93 % ühenduse tarbimisest. Kolme vastust kontrolliti kohapeal.
As mentioned above, it was found that the battery producers in the EC were under considerable pressure resulting from global increases in prices of raw materials (zinc, nickel, copper and steel) and increased global competition on the battery market.
Nagu eespool märgitud, leiti, et tooraine hindade (tsink, nikkel, vask, teras) ülemaailmne tõus ja ülemaailmse konkurentsi teravnemine patareide turul avaldas patareide tootjatele EÜs märgatavat survet.
They submitted that the imposition of anti-dumping measures on imports from South Africa would increase the existing price pressure and cause losses, since they would not be in a position to pass any price increases on to their clients.
Nad väitsid, et dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamine Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit impordi suhtes suurendaks olemasolevat hinnasurvet ja tekitaks kahju, sest nad ei saaks hinnatõusu oma klientidele üle kanda.
However, it was found that they were generally still in a good financial situation, with substantial pre-tax profits in the IP and they had increased their sales volume over the period considered thanks to the positive public image of their brands.
Leiti siiski, et nende majanduslik seisund oli üldiselt ikka veel hea, sest nad said uurimisperioodil olulist maksueelset kasumit ja olid vaatlusalusel perioodil tänu oma tootemarkide heale mainele oma müügimahtu suurendanud.
While generally opposing the imposition of measures, several users admitted that disappearance of the Community industry would probably have a negative effect on their situation and competition on the EC market, as the Community industry is a producer of high quality EMD suitable for high-end battery production.
Ehkki kasutajad olid üldiselt meetmete kehtestamise vastu, möönsid mitmed, et tõenäoliselt avaldaks ühenduse tootmisharu kadumine kahjulikku mõju nende olukorrale ja konkurentsile EÜ turul, sest ühenduse tootmisharu valmistab hea kvaliteediga elektrolüütilisi mangaandioksiide, mis sobivad kvaliteetsete patareide tootmiseks.
Thus, if the Community industry were to disappear, users would run the risk of becoming dependent on EMD from South Africa alone.
Seega ähvardaks kasutajaid ühenduse tootmisharu kadumise korral oht sattuda sõltuvusse üksnes Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit elektrolüütilistest mangaandioksiididest.
In the light of the above, it may be provisionally concluded that the imposition of any anti-dumping measures are unlikely to affect seriously the situation of the user industry.
Eelöeldut silmas pidades võib teha esialgse järelduse, et tõenäoliselt ei avalda mis tahes dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamine töötleva tööstuse olukorrale märkimisväärset mõju.
The sole Community importer of EMD from South Africa cooperated in the investigation.
Ainus Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide ühendusse importija tegi uurimise käigus koostööd.
On the basis of the information submitted, it was found that this importer was Delta’s exclusive and independent agent.
Esitatud teabe põhjal selgus, et nimetatud importija oli Delta ainus ja sõltumatu agent.
All imports of EMD from South Africa were sold in the Community through this company.
Kõik Lõuna-Aafrikast imporditud elektrolüütilised mangaandioksiidid müüdi ühenduses selle äriühingu kaudu.
Its trading activities represented less than 20 % of its turnover.
Tema kaubandustegevus moodustas tema käibest alla 20 %.
This importer expressed concerns about the possible imposition of measures.
Kõnealusele importijale tegi muret meetmete võimalik kehtestamine.
However, even if its sales decreased after the imposition of measures and the agent’s commissions were reduced, it is expected to remain financially healthy and it is unlikely that the importer would be significantly affected by the measures.
Isegi kui tema müük väheneks pärast meetmete kehtestamist ja agenditasu vähendataks, võib siiski eeldada tema maksevõime säilimist ja ei ole tõenäoline, et meetmed importijat märgatavalt mõjutaks.
Thus, it is clear that the impact of the anti-dumping duty would be borne by the users.
Seega on selge, et dumpinguvastase tollimaksu mõjud jääksid kasutajate kanda.
On this basis, it has been provisionally concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures is not likely to have a serious negative effect on the situation of importers in the Community.
Selle põhjal järeldati esialgu, et dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamine ei avalda tõenäoliselt ühenduse importijate olukorrale olulist negatiivset mõju.
The effects of the imposition of measures can be expected to enable the Community industry to regain lost sales and market shares and to improve its profitability.
Meetmete kehtestamine aitab eeldatavasti ühenduse tootmisharul taastada müügimaht ja turuosad ning suurendada tasuvust.
In view of the deteriorating situation of the Community industry, there is a considerable risk that, in the absence of measures, the Community industry might have to close down its production facilities and layoff its workers.
Ühenduse tootmisharu halvenevat olukorda silmas pidades on suur oht, et meetmete puudumisel peab ühenduse tootmisharu oma tootmisüksused sulgema ja töötajad koondama.
Given the use of the product concerned in battery production, where the cost of EMD is not significant when compared with the value of the endproducts the impact for the users should not be significant, as explained in recital 107 above.
Arvestades vaatlusaluse toote kasutust patareide tootmises, kus elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide maksumus ei ole lõpptoote väärtusega võrreldes kuigi suur, ei tohiks meetmete mõju kasutajatele olla märkimisväärne, nagu on selgitatud põhjenduses 0.
In view of the above, it is provisionally concluded that there are no compelling reasons not to impose anti-dumping duties on imports of certain manganese dioxides originating in South Africa.
Eelöeldut silmas pidades tehakse esialgne järeldus, et teatavate Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit mangaandioksiidide impordi suhtes dumpinguvastaste tollimaksude kehtestamata jätmiseks puuduvad kaalukad põhjused.
In view of the conclusions reached with regard to dumping, resulting injury, causation and Community interest, provisional measures should be imposed in order to prevent further injury being caused to the Community industry by the dumped imports.
Dumpingu, tekitatud kahju, põhjusliku seose ja ühenduse huvi kohta tehtud järeldusi silmas pidades tuleb kehtestada ajutised meetmed, et dumpinguhinnaga import ei tekitaks ühenduse tootmisharule täiendavat kahju.
The measures should be imposed at a level sufficient to eliminate the injury caused to the Community industry by these imports without exceeding the dumping margin found.
Meetmed tuleks kehtestada tasemel, mis on piisav kõnealuse impordi poolt ühenduse tootmisharule tekitatud kahju kõrvaldamiseks, kuid ei ületa tuvastatud dumpingumarginaali.
When calculating the amount of duty necessary to remove the effects of the injurious dumping, it was considered that any measures should allow the Community industry to cover its costs of production and obtain an overall profit on sales of the like product in the Community before tax that could be reasonably achieved by this industry under normal conditions of competition, i.e. in the absence of dumped imports.
Kahjustava dumpingu mõju kõrvaldamiseks vajaliku tollimaksumäära arvutamisel leiti, et mis tahes kehtestatav meede peaks võimaldama ühenduse tootmisharul katta oma tootmiskulud ja saada samasuguse toote müügilt ühenduses enne maksude mahaarvamist sellist üldkasumit, mida kõnealune tootmisharu võiks usutavasti saada tavapärastes konkurentsitingimustes, s.o dumpinguhinnaga impordi puudumise korral.
The pre-tax profit margin used for this calculation corresponded to the profit achieved by the Community industry at the beginning of the period considered, at a time when EMD prices from South Africa were at the same level as that of the like product sold by the Community industry.
Arvutamisel aluseks võetud maksueelne kasumimarginaal vastas kasumile, mida ühenduse tootmisharu sai vaatlusaluse perioodi algul, kui Lõuna-Aafrikast pärit elektrolüütiliste mangaandioksiidide hinnad olid sama suured kui ühenduse tootmisharu müüdud samasuguse toote hinnad.
The necessary price increase was then determined on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average import price, as established for the price undercutting calculations (see recital 45), with the non-injurious price of the like product sold by the Community industry on the Community market.
Seejärel määrati vajalik hinnatõus, võrreldes hinna allalöömise arvutuste abil kindlaks tehtud (vt põhjendust 0) kaalutud keskmist impordihinda selle mittekahjustava hinnaga, millega ühenduse tootmisharu müüs samasugust toodet ühenduse turul.
The non-injurious price has been obtained by adjusting the sales price of the Community industry by the actual loss/profit made during the IP and by adding the above mentioned profit margin.
Mittekahjustava hinna määramiseks korrigeeriti ühenduse tootmisharu müügihinda uurimisperioodi tegeliku kahjumi/kasumiga ja liideti eespool nimetatud kasumimarginaal.
The injury margin was significantly higher than the dumping margin found.
Kahjumarginaal oli märgatavalt kõrgem kui tuvastatud dumpingumarginaal.
In the light of the foregoing, it is considered that in accordance with Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation, a provisional anti-dumping duty should be imposed at the level of the dumping margin since it is lower than the injury margin calculated above.
Eelöeldut silmas pidades leitakse, et vastavalt algmääruse artikli 7 lõikele 2 tuleks ajutine dumpinguvastane tollimaks kehtestada dumpingumarginaali tasemel, kuna see on madalam kui eespool arvutatud kahjumarginaal.
On the basis of the above, the proposed provisional duty rates are:
Eelöeldu põhjal on ajutised tollimaksumäärad järgmised:
In the interest of sound administration a period should be fixed within which the interested parties which made themselves known within the time limit specified in the notice of initiation may make their views known in writing and request a hearing.
Tõrgeteta asjaajamise huvides tuleks määrata ajavahemik, mille jooksul huvitatud isikud, kes andsid endast teada algatamisteates nimetatud tähtaja jooksul, saavad teha oma seisukohad kirjalikult teatavaks ja taotleda ärakuulamist.
Furthermore, it should be stated that the findings concerning the imposition of anti-dumping duties made for the purposes of this Regulation are provisional and may have to be reconsidered for the purpose of any definitive measures,
Lisaks tuleb märkida, et käesolevas määruses esitatud tollimaksude kehtestamisega seotud järeldused on esialgsed ja need tuleb lõplike meetmete kehtestamisel üle vaadata,
