natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The analysis of the price undercutting, see recital 231, and the declining trend in the sales price of the Union producers, see recital 263, clearly shows that the Union producers have tried to compete on price with Chinese imports and have closed the price gap.
Sarnaseid väiteid liidu tootmisharu tehtud suurte investeeringute kohta käsitletakse allpool enda tekitatud kahju selgitavas osas.
However, this has led to a strong deterioration of the Union producers' financial results with the Union industry reporting losses since 2012.
Mitmed isikud väitsid, et kahju ei ole tekkinud, kuna mõned liidu tootjad on teatanud, et nende samasuguse toote hind tõuseb alates 2014. aasta jaanuarist, et kompenseerida tooraine, energia ja transpordi hindade jätkuvat kasvu.
This situation is not sustainable in the short to medium run.
Esiteks on 2014. aasta hinnatase seotud juba pärast uurimisperioodi toimunud sündmustega.
Other indicators also developed negatively, even after the imposition of measures against the PRC, such as production, production capacity, employment, inventories and cash flow.
Teiseks on liidu tootmisharu viimastel aastatel suurema osa sellistest hinnatõusudest enda kanda võtnud tootlikkuse suurendamise abil.
The findings of both investigations also confirm that the changed circumstances that justified the initiation of the partial interim anti-dumping review, namely the restructuring and the closure of some of the Union plants as explained in recital 244 above, are of a substantial and lasting nature.
Lõpuks jõutakse siiski punkti, kus lühikese ajaga tootlikkuse suurendamine muutub palju raskemaks.
Following the closure of a plant, the plant is fully dismantled.
Kuna uurimisperioodil oli liidu tootmisharu kahjumlik ning kõnealuste hinnatõusude enda kanda võtmine ei ole enam võimalik, muutub teatud ajahetkel paratamatuks, et kulu suurenemine tuleb üle kanda klientidele, kuigi sealjuures esineb turuosa edasise kaotamise oht.
Moreover, setting a new furnace is highly capital and time consuming and cannot be realized in the short run.
Eespool nimetatud asjaolude põhjal lükati väited tagasi.
The time and costs to set up a new plant with furnaces should therefore not be underestimated.
E. PÕHJUSLIK SEOS
Restructuring and closing some of the plants can therefore be considered as substantial and of a lasting nature.
Dumpinguvastase algmääruse artikli 3 lõigete 6 ja 7 kohaselt ning subsiidiumivastase algmääruse artikli 8 lõigete 6 ja 7 kohaselt kontrolliti, kas dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud import Hiina RVst on põhjustanud liidu tootmisharule kahju ulatuses, mida võiks pidada oluliseks.
Several parties claimed that there were clear signs of lack of injury.
Lisaks dumpinguhinnaga impordile uuriti ka muid teadaolevaid tegureid, mis võisid samal ajal kahjustada liidu tootmisharu, et vältida nende tegurite tekitatud võimaliku kahju omistamist dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordile.
The claims are addressed in the following recitals.
Dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordi mõju
The CCCLA stated that one of the Union producers, 3B Fibreglass, was acquired in 2012 by the Binani group and that the overall performance of the Union industry must be good as no rational economic operator would invest in an industry which is not performing.
Uurimistest nähtus, et kehtivatele dumpinguvastastele meetmetele vaatamata suurenes dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordi maht Hiina RVst vaatlusalusel perioodil 32 %, kui võrdlusaastana kasutati aastat 2009.
They also quote the 2013 Annual report of Braj Binani that ‘the overall performance of the 2 manufacturing units at Belgium and Norway is considered good’.
Selle tulemusena kasvas Hiina RV toodete turuosa 2009. aasta 13–18 %ga võrreldes uurimisperioodi lõpuks 15–20 %ni.
In addition, the CCCLA also stated that the turnover of two Union producers increased between 2010 and the IP and that the Union industry is therefore clearly not suffering any injury.
Samal ajal vähenes liidu toodete turuosa vaatlusalusel perioodil kolm protsendipunkti, vaatamata suurenenud tarbimisele.
The Indian Binani Group indeed acquired 3B Fibreglass in 2012.
Dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordi keskmised hinnad vähenesid 2010. aasta ja uurimisperioodi vahelisel ajal 8 % ning olid madalamad liidu tootmisharu hindadest samal perioodil.
However, irrespective of the individual business motivations of the Binani Group, the Commission refers to its findings of the investigation that the Union industry has lost market share and profitability.
Liidu tootmisharu oli aastatel 2010 ja 2011 veel kasumlik, kuid muutus seejärel kahjumlikuks ning see langes kokku Hiina RVst pärit dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordi suurenemisega.
The quote should be put into context and reads in full:
Liidu tootmisharul ei õnnestunud oma turuosa säilitada ka pärast müügihinna alandamist.
‘The overall performance of the 2 manufacturing units at Belgium and Norway is considered good and capacity was partially constrained to cope with the lower market demand.
Kõnealune hinnaalandus tehti kasumlikkuse arvelt nii, et tulemuseks oli kahjumlik olukord.
The production ramp up to normal efficiencies went on well.
Eespool nimetatud asjaolude põhjal järeldatakse, et dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud import Hiina RVst ja selle suurenenud maht avaldasid liidu tootmisharu majanduslikule olukorrale märkimisväärset kahjulikku mõju ning olid seega otsustava tähtsusega tegurid liidu tootmisharu kantud olulise kahju põhjustamisel.
Average realization was however, on the lower side due to cheap Asian imports.’
Pärast lõplike järelduste avalikustamist väitsid mitmed isikud, et puudub analüüs, mis tõestaks, et Hiinast pärit import põhjustas liidu tootmisharu hindade allasurumise ja kantud kahju, ning komisjon toetub oma analüüsis lihtsalt ajalisele kokkusattumusele.
The claim that the Union industry is not suffering injury, because two Union producers had an increased turnover between 2010 and the IP, is misleading and not correct.
Kõnealused isikud viitavad Hiina röntgenseadmete komisjoni aruandele:
The CCCLA based itself for this analysis on turnover expressed in kg.
„Komisjon tunnistab, et üldine korrelatsioon dumpinguhinnaga impordi ja omamaisele tootmisharule tekkinud kahju vahel võib toetada järeldust põhjusliku seose kohta.
However, drawing conclusions by only looking at higher sales quantities is not accurate as it does not take into account the price level of those sales and therefore the impact on the profitability of the company.
Siiski ei ole sellise kokkusattumuse analüüs põhjusliku seose küsimuse jaoks määrav;
The government of the PRC claimed that as APFE members are investing in capacity increases in and outside the Union (e.g. the PRC, Russia, India and Tunisia), there is a clear sign of lack of injury.
Esitatud järeldused põhinevad siiski pika näitajate loendi analüüsil.
This injury investigation is linked to the performance of the Union producers on the Union market.
Nagu on kirjeldatud eespool jaotises D, hinnati dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordi mõju uurimise käigus kõiki olulisi majanduslikke fakte ja näitajaid, mis mõjutavad liidu tootmisharu olukorda.
As seen in table 4 above, the Union industry had a slight capacity increase in 2011 of 1 % where after the capacity reduced by 5 percentage points towards the end of the IP.
Kahjuliku olukorra olemasolu ilmnes paljude näitajate põhjal.
Therefore, there is no capacity increase in the Union.
Sellises olukorras on ainus põhjus, miks liidu tootmisharu peaks hinda langetama, soov säilitada turuosa või vähemalt vältida selle edasist kaotamist hinnakonkurentsi tingimustes.
However, given that many filament glass fibre producers are multinational companies, it is no surprise that these companies also invest outside the Union when there is a business opportunity.
Pärast algsete meetmete kehtestamist õnnestus liidu tootmisharul 2011. aastal hinda tõsta, kuid järgnenud aastatel pidi ta seda jälle langetama, kuigi tootmiskulud ei vähenenud.
Investing in extra capacity outside the Union is done to fulfil the needs of emerging markets and with the prospect of making a profit.
Nagu on täiendavalt selgitatud allpool põhjendustes 320–335, toimus eksport kolmandatest riikidest kogu vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul valdavalt kõrgete hindadega ning kolmandate riikide turuosa jäi suhteliselt stabiilseks ja pärast 2011. aastat isegi vähenes.
Setting up plants in these regions also fits into the picture of being close to these customers.
Seega ei langetanud liidu tootmisharu hinda kolmandatest riikidest pärit impordi mõjul, vaid Hiina RVst pärit madala dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordi tõttu.
However, the business decision to set up a plant outside the Union or not, stands completely separate from the fact that the Union producers are suffering injury.
Alates 2011. aastast on oluliselt kasvanud ainult Hiina RVst pärit impordi maht, ainult Hiina RVst pärit import on hõivanud liidu tootmisharu turuosa ja ainult Hiina RVst pärit impordi hind on langenud.
Similar allegations on large investments made by the Union industry are addressed in the section on self-inflicted injury below.
Nimetatud asjaolude põhjal järeldas komisjon, et liidu tootmisharu hindade allasurumise ja tekkinud kahju põhjuseks oli Hiina RVst pärit dumpinguhinnaga ja subsideeritud impordi kasv.
Several parties claimed that there is absence of injury given that some Union producers announced that their prices of the like product will increase as from January 2014 in order to compensate for the continued rise in raw material, energy and transportation costs.
Allpool on analüüsitud muid tegureid, mis võiksid nimetatud põhjusliku seose kõrvaldada.
Second, the Union industry has been absorbing over the last years the majority of such price increases via productivity increases.
Mitmed isikud väitsid veel, et liidu müügimahu 1 % vähenemine, Hiina RVst pärit impordi turuosa 2 % suurenemine ja liidu tootmisharu turuosa 3 % vähenemine ei õigusta kavandatavaid drastilisi meetmeid.
However, there comes a point that further productivity increases are much harder to implement in the short term.
Seega on selge, et müügihind on oluliselt langenud.
Given that in the IP the Union industry was loss making and absorption of these price increases is no longer possible, at a certain point in time it becomes inevitable that such increases need to be passed on to customers whereby the risk exists that further market share might be lost.
Kehtivatele dumpinguvastastele meetmetele vaatamata jätkus liidu tootmisharu müügimahu, hinna ja turuosa vähenemine, samal ajal kui Hiinast pärit impordi maht ja turuosa tõusid algse uurimise uurimisperioodiga võrreldes oluliselt kõrgemale tasemele.
On the basis of the above, the claims were rejected.
Tavaolukorras peaks liidu tootmisharu pärast meetmete kehtestamist minevikus toimunud dumpingu või subsideerimise mõjust taastuma.
E. CAUSATION
On selge, et seda ei ole toimunud.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and Article 3(7) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 8(6) and Article 8(7) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, it was examined whether the dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC had caused injury to the Union industry to a degree that enabled it to be classified as material.
Kuigi vahetult pärast meetmete kehtestamist ilmnes taastumise märke, muutus liidu tootmisharu olukord vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul veel halvemaks.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Union industry, were also examined to ensure that the possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped and subsidized imports.
Üks sõltumatu importija märkis, et liidu tootjatel ei olnud vaja nii suurel määral hinda langetada, sest liidu turul ületas nõudlust pakkumist.
Effect of dumped and subsidized imports
Hiina RV valitsus väitis, et liidu müügihinna langetamist ja Hiinast pärit impordi hinna langetamist ei saa käsitada lahus vaatlusaluse toote hinna muutumisest kogu maailmas ning hinnalangused järgivad turu tavapärast muutumist.
The investigations showed that, despite the anti-dumping measures in force, the dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC increased in terms of volume (32 %) during the period considered, taking 2009 as a reference year.
Lisaks väidab Hiina RV valitsus, et komisjon ei kontrollinud, kas turg võimaldas 2011. aastal hinda tõsta (pärast meetmete kehtestamist eelmise uurimise põhjal), kui võtta arvesse kogu maailmas valitsevat olukorda, ja kui suur olnuks võimaliku hinnatõusu määr.
This resulted in an increase in the PRC's market share from 13 % — 18 % in 2009 to 15 % — 20 % by the end of the IP.
Komisjon leidis, et väide pakkumist ületava nõudluse kohta ei ole põhjendatud.
At the same time, and despite the increase in consumption, the Union industry saw its market share decreasing by three percentage points during the period considered.
Turuosa kaotus ja laovarude kasv ei osuta sellele, et nõudlus ületab pakkumist, vaid pigem vastupidi.
The average prices of the dumped and subsidized imports decreased by 8 % between 2010 and the IP, and were lower than those of the Union industry during the same period.
Seoses Hiina RV valitsuse väitega võib öelda, et arvesse on võetud hindade muutumist seoses liidu turul, mitte kogu maailma tasandil toimunud müügiga.
Even after lowering its sales price, the Union industry did not succeed in maintaining its market share.
Nagu on eespool näidatud, ei saa hinna vähenemine olla tingitud muudest teguritest peale kõnealuse hinnakonkurentsi (arvestades suhteliselt stabiilset tootmiskulu ja liidu tarbimist).
This price decrease was at the expense of profitability, leading to a loss-making situation.
Pealegi ei esitanud Hiina RV valitsus täiendavat teavet maailmaturu hinna muutumise kohta.
Based on the above, it is concluded that the price level of the dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC together with the increase in volume, had a considerably negative impact on the economic situation of the Union industry and therefore played a decisive role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Seetõttu leiti, et kõnealune väide ei ole põhjendatud.
Following the definitive disclosure, several parties claimed that there is a lack of analysis proving that Chinese imports caused the depressed pricing by the Union industry and the injury suffered and that the Commission merely relies on coincidence in time in its analysis.
Seoses väitega pärast uurimisperioodi tõstetud hinna kohta võib öelda, et pärast uurimisperioodi toimunud sündmused ei kuulu käesoleva uurimise käsitlusalasse.
These parties refer to the China X-Ray Equipment panel report:
Igal juhul ei ole esitatud kaalukaid tõendeid pärast uurimisperioodi toimunud tegeliku hinnatõusu kohta.
‘The Panel acknowledges that an overall correlation between dumped imports and injury to the domestic industry may support a finding of causation.
Seetõttu lükatakse kõnealune väide tagasi.
However, such a coincidence analysis is not dispositive of the causation question; causation and correlation are two distinct concepts.
Lisaks väitis CCCLA, et põhjenduses 226 osutatud Hiinast pärit impordi hinna 8 % vähenemise arvestamisel oleks tulnud arvesse võtta hinda, mida on korrigeeritud tollimaksu ja käitlemiskulu, dumpinguvastase tollimaksu kulu, importijate kasumimarginaali ning importijate müügi-, üld- ja halduskuludega.
In the circumstances of this case, […], the causation question is not resolved by such a general finding of coincidence’.
Selliselt korrigeeritud hind oleks tabelis 7 esitatud liidu müügihinnaga võrreldaval tasemel ning ei oleks seega saanud avaldada otsustavat mõju liidu tootmisharu olulisele kahjustamisele.
However, the conclusions are based on an analysis of an extensive list of indicators.
Selline meetod võimaldab täpselt analüüsida suundumusi.
As set out above in section D, the examination of the impact of the dumped and subsidized imports included an evaluation of all relevant economic facts and indices having a bearing on the state of the Union industry.
Hindade allalöömise ja kahjumarginaali arvutamisel kasutati juba korrigeeritud hindu, nagu on selgitatud eespool põhjenduses 231.
Many indicators pointed to an injurious situation.
Komisjon rõhutab sellega seoses, et hindade allalöömine on ainult üks vaadeldav näitaja, kuid analüüsis tuleks ühiselt arvesse võtta kõiki kahjunäitajaid.
In such situation the only reason for the Union industry to lower prices is to keep market share, or at least not to lose further market share, when it is facing competition on price.
Seetõttu lükatakse kõnealune väide tagasi.
After the imposition of the original measures, the Union industry managed to increase its prices in 2011, but in the following years had to lower its prices whereas the cost of production did not go down.
Muude tegurite mõju
As further detailed in recitals 320-335 below, exports from third countries were mainly made at high prices over the whole of the period considered, and third country market share remained fairly stable and went even down as from 2011.
Import muudest riikidest
Therefore the Union industry did not lower its prices because of the imports from third countries, but because of the low dumped and subsidized imports from the PRC.
Kolmandatest riikidest pärit impordi maht, keskmised ühikuhinnad ja turuosa vaatlusalusel perioodil on esitatud järgnevas tabelis.
Since 2011, only imports from the PRC increased significantly, only imports from the PRC took away market share from the Union industry, and only import prices from the PRC went down.
Tabel 12.
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the depressed pricing by the Union industry and the injury suffered were caused by the increase in the dumped and subsidized imports from the PRC.
Impordimaht (tonnides), keskmine ühikuhind (eurodes tonni kohta)
Other factors that might break this causal link are analysed below.
Kolmandad riigid kokku
The CCCLA and the government of the PRC claimed that there is absence of price depression or price suppression as ‘the sales price decrease of the Union producers is not significant since it only peaked at 2 % during the period considered’.
Maht (tonnides)
Several parties also claimed that a 1 % decrease in Union sales, a 2 % increase in the market share of the imports from the PRC and a 3 % decrease in the Union industry's market share does not justify the proposed drastic measures.
14–19 %
The Commission reiterates as stated above that following the provisional duties of September 2010, the Union industry was able to increase its prices in 2011.
22–27 %
However, as from 2011 the unit sales prices fell by 10 %.
21–26 %
Therefore, there is clearly a significant drop in sales prices.
20–25 %
Even though there are anti-dumping measures in force, the Union industry continued to suffer from a decrease in sales volume, price and market share, whereas at the same time the Chinese imports increased its sales volume and market share to a level significantly higher than the investigation period of the original investigation.
Malaisia
Normally, once measures are imposed, the Union industry is supposed to recover from the effects of past dumping or subsidisation.
Keskmine hind (eurot/tonn)
This was clearly not the case.
2–7 %
Following some signs of recovery immediately after the imposition of measures, the situation of the Union industry further deteriorated in the course of the period considered.
7–12 %
One unrelated importer stated that there was no need for the Union producers to decrease prices to the extent they have done, as the Union market had more demand than supply.
Norra
The government of the PRC claimed that the decrease in Union sales prices as well as the decrease in Chinese import prices cannot be seen in isolation from the global price developments of the product concerned and are in line with the normal course of the market.
0–5 %
In addition, the government of the PRC claims that the Commission did not verify whether the market would permit price increases in 2011 (after the imposition of measures in the previous investigation) when seen against the global context and if so, to what extent.
Türgi
Moreover, the Commission has incorrectly refused to accept evidence provided on post-IP price increases by the Union producers and they refer hereby to the Solar glass and Personal fax machine cases.
Lisaks Hiina RV-le imporditakse vaatlusalust toodet põhiliselt Malaisiast, Norrast ja Türgist.
[41]
Väheses koguses imporditakse toodet ka Mehhikost, Ameerika Ühendriikidest ja Taiwanist.
The Commission considered that the statement that demand exceeded supply was not substantiated.
Kolmandatest riikidest imporditud toote hind oli valdavas osas (välja arvatud mõned väikesed Taiwanist imporditud kogused) oluliselt kõrgem kui Hiinast pärit impordi hind.
The loss in market share and the increase in stock levels do not indicate that demand was higher than supply, but rather the contrary.
Lisaks oli muudest riikidest pärit impordi üldine keskmine hind liidu tootmisharu hindadest kõrgem või nendega sarnane.
As to the claim of the government of the PRC, the price developments considered are related to sales on the Union market and not on a global level.
Kõige suurem osa (40 %) kolmandate riikide impordist liitu pärines Malaisiast.
On the Union market, the competition between the like product and the product concerned is at price level.
Siiski piirdus Malaisiast pärit import ühte liiki klaasfilamentkiust toodetega, milleks on tükeldatud kiud.
As demonstrated above, the price decrease cannot be attributed to other factors than this price competition (in view of a fairly stable cost of production and of Union consumption).
Malaisia turuosa liidu turul suurenes vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul.
Furthermore, the government of the PRC did not provide further information on the global price developments.
Malaisiast pärit tükeldatud kiudude impordi keskmised hinnad olid ka kõrgemad kui Hiina RVst pärit impordil ning olid peaaegu samal tasemel liidu tootmisharu hindadega.
Therefore, this claim was found to be unsubstantiated.
Lisaks ei takistanud Malaisia impordi hinnad liidu tootjate hindade tõusu ajavahemikul 2010–2011, kui Hiina RV suhtes kehtestati ajutine tollimaks.
As to the claim on post IP price increases, post IP events go beyond the scope of this investigation.
Kui Malaisia hinnad oleksid liidu tootmisharule tõesti olulist kahju põhjustanud, ei oleks liidu tootjad pärast Hiina RVst pärit impordile ajutise dumpinguvastase tollimaksu kehtestamist oma hindu tõstnud.
In any event, no substantive evidence of actual price increases which would have materialised after the IP, has been provided.
Malaisiast pärit import konkureerib liidu tootmisharu toodanguga, kuid see on olnud kogu vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul stabiilne tegur nii hinna, tooteliikide kui ka koguste poolest.
Therefore, this claim is rejected.
Suuruselt teine osa kolmandate riikide impordist liitu pärines Norrast.
In addition, the CCCLA claimed that the average Chinese import price decrease of 8 % as referred to in recital 226 should have taken account of the prices adjusted for customs duty and handling, the anti-dumping duty, the profit margin for importers and the SG&A costs supported by importers.
Norra turuosa liidu turul püsis kogu vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul stabiilne.
Those adjusted prices would then be at comparable levels with the Union sales prices, as stated in table 7, and could therefore not have played a decisive role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Norrast pärit impordi keskmised hinnad on olnud tooteliikide lõikes kõrgemad kui Hiina RVst pärit impordil.
For the indicator analysis the CIF value of the exporting producers' sales of table 3 is compared with the ex-works price of the Union producers of table 7.
Norrast imporditakse peamiselt ühe liidu tootjaga samasse kontserni kuuluva ettevõtte valmistatud heiet.
For the undercutting and injury margin calculations, adjusted prices were used indeed as explained in recital 231 above.
Seetõttu me ei käsita Norrat konkureeriva kolmanda riigina.
In this respect, the Commission stresses that the undercutting is only one indicator to be looked at, but that all of the injury indicators should be taken together for the analysis.
Suuruselt kolmas osa kolmandate riikide impordist liitu pärines Türgist.
