natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The investigation has shown that most of the injury indicators such as production (– 36 %), capacity utilisation (– 28 %), sales volume to unrelated customers on the Union market (– 29 %), market share (– 12 percentage points) and productivity (– 16 %) deteriorated during the period considered.
Uurimise käigus selgus, et enamik näitajaid, nagu tootmine (– 36 %), tootmisvõimsuse kasutamine (– 28 %), müügi maht ELi turul sõltumatule kliendile (– 29 %), turuosa (– 12 protsendipunkti) ja tootlikkus (– 16 %), halvenesid vaatlusalusel perioodil.
In addition, the injury indicators related to the financial performance of the Union industry such as cash flow (– 241 %) and profitability (– 16,3 percentage points) were seriously affected.
Lisaks halvenesid oluliselt ka ELi tootmisharu finantstulemustega seotud näitajad nagu rahavoog (– 241 %) ja kulutasuvus (– 16,3 protsendipunkti).
This means that the ability of the Union industry to raise capital was also undermined in particular during the IP.
See tähendab, et eelkõige uurimisperioodil vähenes ka ELi tootmisharu suutlikkus kaasata kapitali.
It was found that the main losses occurred in the period between 2008 and the IP when, despite a significant decrease in the Union consumption, the dumped imports from the PRC remained present in high volumes in the Union market, undercutting the prices of the Union industry by over 24 % in the IP.
Selgus, et peamiselt toimus vähenemine 2008. aasta ja uurimisperioodi vahel, kui vaatamata tarbimise märkimisväärsele vähenemisele ELis oli Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga impordi maht ELi turul endiselt suur ning põhjustas ELi tootmisharu hindade vähenemise uurimisperioodil rohkem kui 24 %.
The investigation also showed that the cost of production of the Union industry reached its highest level in 2008, mainly due to the sharp increase in the prices of the main raw material.
Samuti selgus uurimisel, et tingituna peamise tooraine hinna järsust tõusust, saavutasid ELi tootmisharu tootmiskulud kõrgeima taseme 2008. aastal.
During the IP, the Union industry managed to maintain and control its cost of production with rationalisation efforts and due to the decrease of PET prices which mainly occurred in the second half of the IP.
Uurimisperioodil suutis ELi tootmisharu hoida oma tootmiskulusid kontrolli all, eelkõige seoses tootlikkuse suurendamiseks tehtud jõupingutusega ning PET-laastude hinna vähenemisega, mis toimus peamiselt uurimisperioodi teisel poolel.
However, in view of the significant price undercutting practiced by the Chinese exporters during the IP, the Union industry was not in a position to increase its sales prices to a level that would have covered its costs.
Võttes arvesse olulist hinna allalöömist Hiina eksportijate poolt uurimisperioodil, ei olnud ELi tootmisharu võimeline suurendama oma müügihinda sellise tasemeni, mis kataks tootmisharu kulusid.
This led to a significant deterioration in its financial situation during the IP.
Sellega kaasnes finantsolukorra märgatav halvenemine uurimisperioodi ajal.
In the light of the foregoing, it was concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Eelöeldut arvestades järeldati, et ELi tootmisharu kandis olulist kahju algmääruse artikli 3 lõike 5 tähenduses.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and 3(7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC caused injury to the Union industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
Vastavalt algmääruse artikli 3 lõigetele 6 ja 7 kontrolliti, kas Hiinast pärit vaatlusaluse toote dumpinguhinnaga import on tekitanud ELi tootmisharule kahju sellisel määral, et seda on võimalik pidada oluliseks.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time be injuring the Union industry, were also examined to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Lisaks dumpinguhinnaga impordile uuriti ka muid teadaolevaid tegureid, mis võisid samal ajal kahjustada ELi tootmisharu, et vältida nende tegurite tekitatud võimaliku kahju omistamist dumpinguhinnaga impordile.
The investigation showed that dumped imports from the PRC increased dramatically over the period considered, increasing their share of the Union market by more than seven times between 2005 and the IP.
Uurimisel selgus, et Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga import suurenes vaatlusalusel perioodil oluliselt, ajavahemikul 2005. aastast kuni uurimisperioodini suurenes Hiinast pärit impordi osa ELi turul rohkem kui seitse korda.
It was also found that in the period between 2008 and the IP when the Union consumption decreased by about 15 %, the volume of the dumped imports from the PRC remained high and even increased their market share by 15 %.
Lisaks selgus, et ajavahemikul 2008. aastast kuni uurimisperioodini, kui tarbimine ELis vähenes ligikaudu 15 %, jäi Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga impordi maht samale tasemele ning selle turuosa isegi suurenes 15 %.
During the period considered, the Union industry faced a significant drop of 29 % in their sales volume and consequently lost market share from 51,1 % to 39,2 %, almost 12 percentage points.
Vaatlusalusel perioodil seisis ELi tootmisaru silmitsi oma müügimahu märkimisväärse vähenemisega (29 %) ning ühtlasi vähenes ka tootmisharu turuosa 51,1 %-lt 39,2 %-ni, ligikaudu 12 protsendipunkti.
In the period between 2008 and the IP, the market share of the Union industry dropped by two percentage points whereas that of the dumped Chinese imports increased, despite the declining demand on the Union market.
Ajavahemikul 2008. aastast kuni uurimisperioodini vähenes ELi tootmisharu turuosa kahe protsendipunkti võrra, samal ajal, vaatamata nõudluse vähenemisele ELi turul, suurenes Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga import.
As regards prices of the dumped imports, they decreased by 39 % during the period considered and were significantly undercutting the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market.
Dumpinguhinnaga impordi hind vähenes vaatlusalusel perioodil 39 % ning see lõi drastiliselt alla ka ELi tootmisharu hinnataseme ELi turul.
Consequently, the Union industry was prevented from increasing its prices to cover the increase in raw material prices.
Sellest tulenevalt ei saanud ELi tootmisharu hindu tõsta nii, et need oleksid kompenseerinud toorainehinna tõusu.
As a result, the profitability of the Union industry’s sales on the Union market decreased, as explained above in recital 122, from a profit of 3 % in 2005 to a loss of 13,3 % in the IP.
Nagu selgitatud eelpool põhjenduses 122, vähenes ELi tootmisharu müügi kulutasuvus ELi turul 3 %st kasumist 2005. aastal 13,3 % kahjumini uurimisperioodil.
The investigation also showed that the increasing volumes of low-priced dumped imports from the PRC had a negative impact on the market overall by depressing the prices.
Lisaks selgus uurimisel, et Hiinast pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga import mõjutas hindade allalöömise kaudu negatiivselt kogu turgu.
It is therefore considered that the continued pressure exercised by the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC on the Union market did not allow the Union industry to adapt its sales prices to the increased raw material costs, in particular in 2008, when PET prices peaked.
Seega jõuti järeldusele, et Hiinast pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga impordist tuleneva pideva surve tõttu ELi turul ei saanud ELi tootmisharu kohandada oma müügihindu vastavalt tooraine hindade kasvule, eriti 2008. aastal, kui PET-laastude hind saavutas kõrgeima taseme.
This explained the loss in market share and the loss in profitability of the Union industry.
See selgitab ka ELi tootmisharu turuosa ja kulutasuvuse vähenemist.
In view of the above it was provisionally concluded that the surge of the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC had a considerable negative impact on the economic situation of the Union industry.
Eespool öeldut arvesse võttes jõuti esialgsele järeldusele, et Hiinast pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga impordi järsul suurenemisel oli oluline negatiivne mõju ELi tootmisharu majandusolukorrale.
Development of the demand on the Union market
Nõudluse muutumine ELi turul
As mentioned in recital 100 above, the Union consumption of HTY first increased between 2005 and 2007, after which it decreased in 2008 and the IP.
Nagu märgiti põhjenduses 100, suurenes eriti tugeva polüesterlõnga tarbimine kõigepealt aastatel 2005–2007 ning vähenes seejärel 2008. aastal ja uurimisperioodil.
During the period considered, the Union industry lost a significant part of their market share.
Vaatlusalusel perioodil kaotas ELi tootmisharu olulise osa oma turust.
Although it cannot be excluded that this negative evolution of the Union consumption between 2008 and the IP may have had a negative impact on the situation of the Union industry, it is noteworthy that the Chinese exporters managed at the same time to increase their market share.
Kuigi ei saa välistada, et 2008. aastast uurimisperioodini toimunud negatiivne muutus ELi tarbimises võis mõjutada negatiivselt ELi tootmisharu olukorda, väärib märkimist, et Hiina eksportijad suutsid samal ajal oma turuosa suurendada.
Accordingly, it is considered that the deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry cannot be explained by the decreased demand but is mainly caused by the surge in the dumped imports from the PRC and the undercutting practised by the Chinese exporters.
Sellest tulenevalt leiti, et ELi tootmisharu majandusliku olukorra halvenemist ei saa põhjendada nõudluse vähenemisega, vaid see on peamiselt tingitud Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga impordi järsust suurenemisest ning hinna allalöömisest Hiina eksportijate poolt.
Prices of raw material
Tooraine hind
Prices of raw material, mainly PET chips, have increased significantly between 2005 and 2008 after which they decreased during the second half of the IP and reached a level equal to the year 2005 by the end of the IP.
Tooraine, peamiselt PET-laastude, hind kasvas aastatel 2005–2008 järsult, langes seejärel uurimisperioodi teisel poolel ja jõudis uurimisperioodi lõpul 2005. aasta tasemele.
The investigation confirmed that the cost of production of the Union industry to produce HTY followed the same trend as the evolution of the raw material prices, and overall increased by 6 % during the period considered.
Uurimine kinnitas, et ELi tootmisharu tootmiskulud eriti tugeva polüesterlõnga tootmisel järgisid tooraine hinnaga sama suundumust ning suurenesid vaatlusalusel perioodil kokku 6 %.
However, in a market governed by effective trade conditions, namely in the absence of injurious dumping, it could be expected that prices are regularly adapted to reflect the development of the various components of the cost of production.
Turul, kus on olemas tingimused kaubanduse tõhusaks arendamiseks ehk kus puudub kahjustav dumping, võib eeldada, et hindu kohandatakse korrapäraselt, et kajastada tootmiskulude erinevate koostisosade muutumist.
Indeed, the Union industry was forced to keep its sales prices low in order to compete against the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC, which led to a significant drop in its profitability.
Selleks et konkureerida Hiinast pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga impordiga, oli ELi tootmisharu sunnitud hoidma oma müügihinna madala ning sellega kaasnes kasumlikkuse märkimisväärne vähenemine.
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the undercutting practiced by the Chinese exporters depressed the prices on the Union market and prevented the Union industry from increasing its sales prices to cover its costs.
Sellest lähtuvalt jõuti esialgsele järeldusele, et hinna allalöömine Hiina eksportijate poolt alandas hindu ELi turul ning ei võimaldanud ELi tootmisharul tõsta müügihinda oma kulude katmiseks.
Captive production of the Union industry
ELi tootmisharu enda tarbeks tootmine
The investigation showed that only one Union producer which cooperated with the investigation was vertically integrated and that the captive production was used for further processing into value added products in the downstream industry.
Uurimisel selgus, et ainult üks koostööd teinud ELi tootja oli vertikaalselt integreeritud ning tootmisharu enda tarbeks valmistatud toodangut kasutati järgtööstuses lisandväärtusega toodete tootmiseks.
Indeed, the captive use remained stable over the period considered and represented around 7 % of the production volume.
Vaatlusalusel perioodil oli tootmine tootmisharu enda tarbeks stabiilne ning moodustas ligikaudu 7 % toodangu mahust.
On that basis, it was considered that the captive production of the Union industry did not contribute to the deterioration of its financial situation, in particular during the IP.
Sellest lähtuvalt leiti, et ELi tootmisharu enda tarbeks tootmine ei aidanud kaasa tootmisharu finantsolukorra halvenemisele uurimisperioodil.
Export performance of the Union industry
ELi tootmisharu eksport
Although the analysis of injury and causation focused on the situation of the Union industry in the Union market, its export performance was examined as a potential other factor that may explain the injury found.
Kuigi kahju ja selle põhjuslike seoste analüüsimisel keskenduti ELi tootmisharu olukorrale ELi turul, uuriti ka tootmisharu ekspordijõudlust kui võimalikku muud tegurit, millega võiks selgitada kindlaks tehtud kahju.
The analysis showed that the export sales to unrelated parties made by the Union industry remained modest (around 3 %) during the period considered.
Analüüsist selgus, et ELi tootmisharu eksportmüük sõltumatutele klientidele jäi uurimisperioodi jooksul tagasihoidlikule tasemele (ligikaudu 3 %).
The decrease in export sales volume, from around 18000 tonnes in 2005 to around 7000 tonnes during the IP, may be explained by the decrease in production during the same period.
Eksportmüügi mahu vähenemist ligikaudu 18000 tonnilt 2005. aastal ligikaudu 7000 tonnini uurimisperioodil võib selgitada sama perioodi vältel toimunud tootmise vähenemisega.
However, the export price was higher than the price that the Union industry was charging to its customers on the Union market.
Ekspordihind oli siiski kõrgem hinnast, mida ELi tootmisharu küsis klientidelt ELi turul.
Hence, it was considered that the decrease in export volume cannot explain the level of injury suffered by the Union industry and in particular the significant drop in profitability during the IP.
Seega jõuti järeldusele, et ekspordimahu vähenemine ei selgita ELi tootmisharu kantud kahju määra, eelkõige aga uurimisperioodil toimunud kulutasuvuse märkimisväärset langust.
The trends in import volumes and prices from other third countries between 2005 and the IP were as follows:
Muude kolmandate riikide impordimahtude ja impordihindade suundumus 2005. aastast kuni uurimisperioodini oli järgmine:
The main other third countries exporting HTY to the Union are Switzerland, Belarus, Japan and Thailand.
Muud olulisemad kolmandad riigid, kes ekspordivad ELi eriti tugevat polüesterlõnga, on Šveits, Valgevene, Jaapan ja Tai.
As shown in the above table, the combined import volume from these countries was rather low in relation to the Union consumption and decreased by 45 % over the period considered.
Nagu eespool olevast tabelist selgub, on nendest riikidest pärit impordi kogumaht ELi tarbimisega võrreldes pigem väike ning vaatlusalusel perioodil vähenes see 45 %.
The average import prices remained stable and relatively high during the IP.
Uurimisperioodil oli keskmine impordihind stabiilne ja suhteliselt kõrge.
On the basis of the above, it was provisionally concluded that the imports from these third countries did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Eelöeldu põhjal jõuti esialgsele järeldusele, et kõnealustest kolmandatest riikidest pärit import ei aidanud kaasa ELi tootmisharu kantud olulise kahju tekkimisele.
Imports from Korea and Taiwan
Koreast ja Taiwanist pärit import
These imports are shown in tables 10 and 11 below:
Kõnealused impordiandmed on esitatud järgnevalt tabelites 10 ja 11.
Total imports from Korea
Koreast pärit koguimport
As can be seen in the above table, the import volumes from Korea followed by and large a trend similar to that of consumption during the period considered.
Tabelist selgub, et Koreast pärit impordi maht muutus vaatlusalusel perioodil üldjoontes tarbimisega sarnaselt.
Import volumes increased from 17542 tonnes in 2005 to 24580 tonnes in the IP.
Impordi maht suurenes 17542 tonnilt 2005. aastal 24580 tonnini uurimisperioodil.
This lead to an increase in their market share from 7,9 % in 2005 to 11,9 % in the IP.
See viis Korea turuosa suurenemiseni 7,9 %-lt 2005. aastal 11,9 %-ni uurimisperioodil.
It is however noteworthy that import volumes decreased substantially between 2007 and the end of the IP.
Samas on märkimisväärne, et ajavahemikul 2007. aastast kuni uurimisperioodi lõpuni vähenes impordi maht oluliselt.
It is also noteworthy that, while the average import prices from Korea decreased by 15 % during the period considered, they remained higher than the average import prices from the PRC throughout the same period.
Samuti on märkimisväärne, et kuigi vaatlusalusel perioodil vähenes Koreast pärit impordi keskmine hind 15 %, oli see siiski kõrgem, kui Hiinast pärit impordi keskmine hind samal perioodil.
Total imports from Taiwan
Taiwanist pärit koguimport
As regards the imports from Taiwan, they increased from 7343 tonnes in 2005 to 8163 tonnes in the IP, thus by 11 %.
Taiwanist pärit import suurenes 7343 tonnilt 2005. aastal 8163 tonnini uurimisperioodil, seega 11 %.
At the same time their market share slightly increased from 3,3 % in 2005 to 4 % in the IP.
Samal ajal suurenes Taiwani turuosa 3,3 %-lt 2005. aastal 4 %-ni uurimisperioodil.
Like the Korean imports, the Taiwanese import volume decreased considerably between 2007 and the end of the IP.
Sarnaselt Koreast pärit impordiga vähenes ka Taiwanist pärit impordi maht olulisel määral ajavahemikul 2007. aastast kuni uurimisperioodi lõpuni.
The average import prices from Taiwan went down by 14 % during the period considered but remained considerably higher than the import prices from the PRC during the same period.
Taiwanist pärit impordi keskmine hind langes vaatlusalusel perioodil 14 %, kuid oli siiski märkimisväärselt kõrgem, kui Hiinast pärit impordi keskmine hind samal perioodil.
Based on the above, it cannot be ruled out that the imports from Korea and Taiwan may have contributed to some extent the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Eespool öeldut silmas pidades ei saa välistada, et Koreast ja Taiwanist pärit import võis teataval määral kaasa aidata ELi tootmisharu kantud olulise kahju tekkimisele.
However, import volumes and prices during the IP do not appear to be at a level such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Siiski ei olnud impordi maht ja hind uurimisperioodil sellisel tasemel, et kõrvaldada ELi tootmisharule tekitatud kahju ja Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga impordi vahelist põhjuslikku seost.
Other producers in the Union
Muud ELi tootjad
The analysis of data pertaining to the Union market suggested that the other Union producers did not gain market share during the period considered.
Analüüsides andmeid ELi turu kohta ilmnes, et teistegi ELi tootjate turuosa vaatlusalusel perioodil ei suurenenud.
The investigation did not point to any particular problem concerning the competition between Union producers or to any trade distorting effects which may explain the material injury found for the Union industry.
Uurimise käigus ei kerkinud esile ühtegi konkreetset probleemi seoses ELi tootjate vahelise konkurentsiga või seoses mõne muu kaubandust moonutava asjaoluga, millega võiks seletada tuvastatud olulist kahju ELi tootmisharule.
Based on the above, it was provisionally concluded that the producers not included in the definition of the Union industry did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Eespool esitatu põhjal jõuti esialgsele järeldusele, et tootjad, keda ELi tootmisharu määratlus ei hõlma, ei aidanud kaasa ELi tootmisharu kantud kahju tekkimisele.
The above analysis demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in the volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports originating in the PRC over the period considered.
Eespool esitatud analüüsist selgus, et vaatlusalusel perioodil suurenesid oluliselt Hiinast pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga impordi maht ja turuosa.
In addition, it was found that these imports were made at dumped prices which were below the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market for similar product types.
Lisaks leiti, et kõnealune import toimus dumpinguhinnaga, mis oli madalam kui ELi tootmisharu küsitud hind ELi turul samasuguste tooteliikide puhul.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC coincided with an overall increase of the demand in the Union during the period between 2005 and 2007 but also with the negative development in the market share of the Union industry during the same period.
Hiinast pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga impordi mahu ja turuosa suurenemine toimus samaaegselt nõudluse üldise kasvuga ELis ajavahemikul 2005–2007 ning samuti ELi tootmisharu turuosa vähenemisega samal perioodil.
Furthermore, between 2007 and the IP, when the demand in the Union market decreased, the Chinese exporters managed to increase their market share.
Lisaks suutsid Hiina eksportijad ajavahemikul 2007. aastast kuni uurimisperioodini, kui nõudlus ELi turul vähenes, oma turuosa suurendada.
At the same time a further negative development in the market share of the Union industry and in the main indicators of its economic situation was observed.
Samal ajal täheldati ELi tootmisharu turuosa vähenemist ja tema majandusolukorra peamiste näitajate halvenemist.
Indeed, over the period considered the surge in the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC, which were constantly undercutting the prices of the Union industry, led to a drop in the Union industry’s profitability by more than 16 percentage points, resulting in heavy losses in the IP.
Hiinast pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga eksport suurenes järsult vaatlusalusel perioodil ning lõi pidevalt alla ELi tootmisharu hindu, mis viis ELi tootmisharu kulutasuvuse vähenemiseni 16 protsendipunkti võrra ning põhjustas uurimisperioodil suurt kahju.
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry revealed that these factors do not appear to be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Muude selliste teadaolevate tegurite uurimisel, mis oleks võinud kahjustada ELi tootmisharu, selgus, et need ei ole piisavad, et kõrvaldada Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga impordi ja ELi tootmisharu kantud kahju vahelist põhjuslikku seost.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it was provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Eespool esitatud analüüsi põhjal, mille käigus eristati nõuetekohaselt kõikide teadaolevalt ELi tootmisharu olukorda mõjutanud tegurite toime dumpinguhindadega impordi kahjulikust mõjust, jõuti esialgsele järeldusele, et Hiinast pärit dumpinguhinnaga import tekitas ELi tootmisharule olulist kahju algmääruse artikli 3 lõike 6 tähenduses.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether, despite the provisional conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt provisional anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
Algmääruse artikli 21 kohaselt uuriti, kas olenemata esialgsest järeldusest kahjustava dumpingu kohta on kaalukaid põhjuseid, millest tulenevalt ei oleks ajutiste dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamine käesoleval juhul ELi huvides.
