In particular, injury indicators related to the financial performance of the sampled Union producers, such as profitability, were seriously affected.
Käesolev määrus jõustub järgmisel päeval pärast selle avaldamist Euroopa Liidu Teatajas.
The sampled Union producers experienced a deterioration of their situation, in particular from the second half of 2015 onwards, and were negatively affected by the subsidised imports, causing the threat of injury which became imminent at the end of the investigation period.
Käesolev määrus on tervikuna siduv ja vahetult kohaldatav kõikides liikmesriikides.
Nevertheless, as mentioned under recital (542), the Commission also found indications that the Union steel producers started possibly recovering in terms of profitability during the second half of 2016, but, even if this would be true, this would not compensate for the losses incurred during 2015 and the first half of 2016.
Brüssel, 8. juuni 2017
Following disclosure of GDD, the GOC alleged that there would be no need to impose definitive measures in the present investigation because it would be by no means clear that it would bring benefits to the Union industry.
Komisjoni nimel
For instance, it alleged that if definitive measures were to be imposed, imports of HRF from other countries not subject to duties would be likely to replace the Chinese imports.
president
The Commission rejected this claim: it is expected that the imposition of definitive countervailing duties will restore fair trade conditions on the Union market, enabling the Union industry to further recover.
ELT L 176, 30.6.2016, lk 55.
This would result in an improvement of the Union industry's profitability towards levels considered necessary for this capital intensive industry.
See määrus asendati 30. juunil 2016 Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu 8. juuni 2016. aasta määrusega (EL) 2016/1037 kaitse kohta subsideeritud impordi eest riikidest, mis ei ole Euroopa Liidu liikmed (ELT L 176, 30.6.2016, lk 55).
It is therefore important that prices be restored to a non- subsidised or a non-injurious level in order to allow all various producers to operate on the Union market under fair trade circumstances.
ELT C 172, 13.5.2016, lk 29.
In the absence of measures, it is likely that the threat of injury will materialise and that there will be a further deterioration of the Union industry's economic situation.
Mõistet „Hiina valitsus“ on selles määruses kasutatud laiemas mõttes ja see hõlmab riiginõukogu, samuti ministeeriume, osakondi, agentuure ja asutusi riiklikul, piirkondlikul või kohalikul tasandil.
The Commission therefore concluded that the imposition of definitive countervailing duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.

As mentioned in recital (21), no unrelated importer completed a full questionnaire reply or provided the Commission with elements showing to what extent importers would be harmed by the imposition of measures.
Komisjoni 5. aprilli 2017. aasa rakendusmäärus (EL) 2017/649, millega kehtestatakse Hiina Rahvavabariigist pärinevate teatavate rauast või legeerimata terasest või muust legeerterasest kuumvaltsitud lehttoodete impordi suhtes lõplik dumpinguvastane tollimaks (ELT L 92, 6.4.2017, lk 68).
Therefore and also taking into account that, in addition to the PRC, many other countries export to the Union, the Commission concluded that it is likely that the imposition of measures may not be in the interest of importers.

Only one user from Italy (Marcegaglia Carbon Spa) with imports from the country concerned and producing inter alia tubes, pipes and downstream steel products provided a questionnaire reply in the framework of the anti-dumping investigation against China on the same product concerned.
Samas.
The product concerned/like product is a cost item for this user.
Otsuse nr 40 III peatüki artikkel 12.
This Italian user alleged that the imposition of measures on imports from the country concerned would lead to a situation whereby it would no longer have access to reliable supplies of the product concerned on the Union market, in particular of high quality coils used for re-rolling.
Nõukogu rakendusmääruse (EL) nr 215/2013 (ELT L 73, 15.3.2013, lk 16) põhjendus 182 (orgaanilise kattega terastooted).
It alleged that 88 % of the total Union production is accounted for by only 16 companies belonging to eight large groups, whereby the largest part of the production (about 70 %) is used in the captive market.
NDRC ülesandeks on muu hulgas kujundada ja viia ellu riiklikke majandus- ja sotsiaalarengustrateegiaid, aastakavasid, keskmise pikkusega ja pikaajalisi arengukavasid.
As a consequence, allegedly, the Union producers as a result of their still relatively high market share can exercise a strong pressure both on the market of the product concerned as on the downstream market.

First, the Commission noted that the objective of definitive countervailing duties is not to close off the Union market from any imports, but to restore fair trade by removing the effect of injurious subsidisation.
Vt ka WT/DS436/AB/R (USA – süsinikteras (India)), Appellate Body Report, 8. detsember 2014. aasta, punktid 4.9–4.10, 4.17–4.20, ja WT/DS437/AB/R (United States – Countervailing Duty Measures on Certain Products from China (USA – tasakaalustavate tollimeetmete kohta teatavatele Hiina toodetele)), 18. detsembri 2014. aasta apellatsiooniasutuse ettekanne, punkt 4.92.
Accordingly, the Italian as well as other Union users would continue to be able to rely on high quality supplies of the product concerned, be that from the Union or from third countries.

Second, the Commission found that the user is not exclusively dependent on Chinese imports, but also purchased the product concerned during the investigation period from Union producers as well as from other producers in third countries other than the country concerned.

Third, even if the prices of the Chinese product concerned were to increase by around 30 %, this would have a 3 % impact of the cost of production of this Italian user.

While this may be considerable in this business, the simulation also showed that his pre-tax profit would remain slightly above break-even.
Apellatsioonikogu aruanne DS 296, punkt 116.
Fourth, because imports from the country concerned and from other countries are expected to continue after the imposition of definitive countervailing duties, and since as such alternative sources of supply still exist, the claim that the imposition of countervailing duties would result in the Union industry being able to exercise strong price pressure is unfounded.
Apellatsioonikogu aruanne DS 296, punkt 115.
The Union industry consists of 22 producers which provide users with a wide range of supply already within the Union, in addition to the option of imports from the other third countries which produce and export the like product.
Apellatsioonikogu aruanne DS 296, punkt 114, milles nõustutakse vaekogu aruande DS 194 punktiga 8.31 selles küsimuses.
Therefore, the Commission rejected the claim that the imposition of measures would lead to a shortage of supply of the product concerned/like product.
WT/DS194/R, Panel Report, US – Export Restraints, punkt 8.29.
With regard to any potential negative effects on the competition on the Union market, it is true that the EU competition rules impose more stringent standards of behaviour on a company that has a significant market share.
Apellatsioonikogu aruanne DS 296, punktid 110–111.
In any event, the Commission is unaware of any abuse of a dominant position on the Union market of the product concerned.
WT/DS353/AB/R, Appellate Body Report, US – Aircraft (Second Complaint), punkt 753.
However, and in any event, it is ultimately up to the competent competition authorities to determine whether there is a dominant position and whether it is abused.
WT/DS316/R, Panel Report, EC – Aircraft, punkt 7.919.
Following disclosure, the GOC was of the opinion that any benefits that the definitive measures against HRF imports would have for the Union industry would be outweighed by the negative effects on users.

Moreover, it alleged that the imposition of measures would be particularly disproportionate for unrelated importers, who are in direct competition with, and already in a disadvantageous position vis-à-vis related users, who are able to set prices and who benefit from favourable commercial conditions granted by integrated producers.
Raphael Lam, T. Daniel Law, Wei Liao, Nadia Rendak, Philippe Wingender ja Jiangyan, oktoober 2016, WP/16/203
The Commission rejected this claim on the basis of the explanations in recital (607) above, since alternative sources of supply will continue to exist.
Hiina panganduse reguleerimise komisjoni dokumendis „Suunised riskil põhinevate laenude klassifitseerimise kohta“, punkt II, artikkel X.
In view of the above, the Commission concluded that the imposition of measures would be against the interest of users, but would not have a clearly disproportionate negative effect on them.
Samuti toetab seda arvamust Hiina valitsuse toodud näide BNP Paribase kohta.
In particular, even if Chinese exports would de facto stop, a wide range of supply would remain available on the market.

Moreover, the Commission found that the impact of the measures on the profitability of users that came forward was limited.
Vaekogu aruanne „EK – DRAMS“, punkt 7.213.
Conclusion on Union interest
Vaekogu aruanne „EK – DRAMS“, punkt 7.212.
The Commission concluded that the imposition of measures would contribute to the recovery of the Union industry in terms of profitability.
Vaekogu aruanne „EK – DRAMS“, punkt 7.178.
The imposition of measures would allow the Union producers to make the necessary investments and R&D to better equip their HRF steel production equipment and boost their competitiveness.

As regards the interest of unrelated importers and users, the Commission concluded that the imposition of measures at the proposed level would have only a limited impact.
Nõukogu 11. märtsi 2013. aasta rakendusmääruse (EL) nr 215/2013 (millega kehtestatakse tasakaalustavad tollimaksud Hiina Rahvavabariigist pärit teatavate orgaanilise kattega terastoodete impordi suhtes) (ELT L 73, 15.3.2013, lk 16) põhjendus 182 (orgaanilise kattega terastooted).
More specifically, the prices, their profitability and the employment in the user's industry would not be disproportionately affected.
NDRC korralduse nr 35 (raua- ja terasetööstuse arengupoliitika) artikkel 24 sätestab: „Kui projekt ei vasta raua- ja terasetööstuse arengupoliitika nõuetele ja seda ei ole nõuetekohaselt läbi vaadatud ja kinnitatud või läbivaatamine ja kinnitamine ei vastanud nõuetele, ei ole riiklikul maa ja ressursside ministeeriumil lubatud teha maaõiguse vormistustoiminguid.“
Hence, the imposition of definitive countervailing measures at the proposed level only has a limited impact on the prices of the supply chain and the performance of users.
Komisjoni 1. märtsi 2017. aasta rakendusmäärus (EL) 2017/366, millega pärast aegumise läbivaatamist vastavalt määruse (EL) 2016/1037 artikli 18 lõikele 2 ja pärast osalise vahepealse läbivaatamise lõpetamise uurimist vastavalt Euroopa Parlamendi ja nõukogu määruse (EL) 2016/1037 artikli 19 lõikele 3 kehtestatakse Hiina Rahvavabariigist pärinevate või sealt saadetud kristalsest ränist fotoelektriliste moodulite ja nende põhikomponentide (elementide) impordi suhtes lõplikud tasakaalustavad tollimaksud (ELT L 56, 3.3.2017, lk 1) (päikesepaneelid).
Weighing and balancing the strong interests of an important Union industry to be protected against unfair practices, on the one hand, and the limited likely effects of measures on unrelated importers and users, which continue to benefit from a wide array of supply in the Union, the Commission concluded that there were no compelling reasons that it was not in the Union interest to impose measures on subsidised imports of the product concerned originating in the country concerned.
Vt muu hulgas nõukogu rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 452/2011 (ELT L 128, 14.5.2011, lk 18) (kaetud kvaliteetpaber), nõukogu rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 215/2013 (ELT L 73, 15.3.2013, lk 16) (orgaanilise kattega terastooted), komisjoni rakendusmäärus (EL) 2017/366 (ELT L 56, 3.3.2017, lk 1) (päikesepaneelid), komisjoni rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 1379/2014 (ELT L 367, 23.12.2014, lk 22) (klaasfilamentkiust tooted), komisjoni rakendusotsus 2014/918/EL (ELT L 360, 17.12.2014, lk 65) (polüesterstaapelkiud).
DEFINITIVE ANTI-SUBSIDY MEASURES
Nagu möönis Üldkohus kohtuasjas T-444/11 Gold East Paper ja Gold Huacheng Paper versus nõukogu, Üldkohtu 11. septembri 2014. aasta otsus ECLI:EU:T:2014:773.
On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on subsidy, threat of injury, causation and Union interest, definitive anti-subsidy measures should be imposed to prevent that the imminent threat of material injury which is caused to the Union industry by the subsidised imports would materialise.
Nõukogu 6. mai 2011. aasta rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 451/2011, millega kehtestatakse Hiina Rahvavabariigist pärit kaetud kvaliteetpaberi impordi suhtes lõplik dumpinguvastane tollimaks ning nõutakse lõplikult sisse selle suhtes kehtestatud ajutine tollimaks (ELT L 128, 14.5.2011, lk 1) (kaetud kvaliteetpaber).
Injury elimination level (Injury margin)
Nõukogu rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 451/2011 (ELT L 128, 14.5.2011, lk 1) (kaetud kvaliteetpaber), komisjoni rakendusmäärus (EL) 2017/366 (ELT L 56, 3.3.2017, lk 1) (päikesepaneelid).
To determine the level of the measures, the Commission first established the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the threat of injury suffered by the Union industry.
EÜT C 394, 17.12.1998, lk 6.
The threat of injury would be eliminated if the Union industry was able to cover its costs of production and to obtain a profit before tax on sales of the like product (the so-called target profit) in the Union market that could be reasonably achieved under normal conditions of competition by an industry of this type in the sector, namely in the absence of dumped imports.
Näiteks nõukogu rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 451/2011 (ELT L 128, 14.5.2011, lk 1) (kaetud kvaliteetpaber), nõukogu rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 2015/2013 (ELT L 73, 11.3.2013, lk 16) (orgaanilise kattega terastooted), komisjoni rakendusmäärus (EL) 2017/366 (ELT L 56, 3.3.2017, lk 1) (päikesepaneelid), komisjoni rakendusmäärus (EL) nr 1379/2014 (ELT L 367, 23.12.2014, lk 22) (klaasfilamentkiust tooted), komisjoni rakendusotsus 2014/918/EL (ELT L 360, 17.12.2014, lk 65) (polüesterstaapelkiud).
As regards the determination of a target profit, the Commission first analysed the proposal of the complainant in the anti-dumping investigation against China on the same product concerned, which pointed to 12,9 %, taken from a previous Commission decision on the same product [101].
Selle toetusliigi puhul oli suurim leitud subsiidiumisumma võrdne kontsernile Shougang Group antud subsiidiumisummaga.
However, this finding dates back to the year 2000, and the data from over 15 years ago cannot be regarded as representative anymore given the technological and financial changes the Union industry faced since then and given the changes in size of the Union market since 2000 as a result of the growing number of Member States during the period 2000-2016.

The Government of China proposed that only a profit margin of at most 5 % can be considered reasonable [102].
Vt WT/DS46/R, Brazil – Aircraft, vaekogu aruanne.

However, these products are downstream steel products, which are not similar to the product concerned.
Komisjoni 29. juuli 2016. aasta rakendusmäärus (EL) 2016/1328, millega kehtestatakse teatavate Hiina Rahvavabariigist ja Venemaa Föderatsioonist pärit külmvaltsitud lehtterastoodete impordi suhtes lõplik dumpinguvastane tollimaks ja nõutakse lõplikult sisse kõnealuse impordi suhtes kehtestatud ajutine tollimaks (ELT L 210, 4.8.2016, lk 1).
The Commission then turned to the profitability data of the year 2008, which it had regarded as the most representative year for a downstream product, namely cold-rolled steel products.
See järeldus on kooskõlas Hiina valitsuse järeldusega 26. augusti 2016. aasta esitatud dokumendis, et ELi tootmisharu ei kannatanud vaatlusalusel perioodil olulist materiaalset kahju (vt Hiina valitsuse 26. augustil 2016. aastal esitatud dokumendi põhjendust 298).
The product concerned of the current investigation is similar in many aspects to certain cold-rolled flat steel products (cold-rolled products) for the following reasons:
Teisest küljest – kui lähtuda kogutud andmetest, siis ei nõustu komisjon Hiina valitsuse järeldusega, et ELi tootmisharu ei olnud uurimisperioodi lõpus kaitsetus olukorras (vt Hiina valitsuse 26. augustil 2016. aastal esitatud dokumendi põhjendust 298).
For both products (iron ore and coking coal) certain alloys are major parts of their cost of production and they go through similar processes (furnace, hot strip mill).
29. jaanuari 2014. aasta otsus ECLI:EU:T:2014:35.
As set out in recital (40) above, the product concerned is the primary material for the production of various value-added downstream steel products, starting with cold-rolled products.
Seda kinnitas ka Euroopa Kohtu 7. aprilli 2016. aasta otsus liidetud kohtuasjades C-186/14 ja C-193/14 P; ArcelorMIttal Tubular Products Ostrava jt vs. Hube; ECLI:EU:C:2016:209.
On this basis, the Commission found a profit margin of 14,4 %.

However, various elements in that case relating to injurious dumping from China and Russia are not present in the current case, where the Commission found a threat of injury from Chinese subsidised exports, which involves a prospective analysis.

In particular, in that case, imports at low prices from the countries under investigation had taken place throughout the four-year period prior to the investigation period.

The Commission then tried to establish a target profit by simulating how the recovery of the Union industry from the recession caused by the economic and financial crisis in 2009 might have developed if it had not been interrupted by the high volumes of price-depressing Chinese imports.
WTO vaekogu märkis dumpinguvastases juhtumis järgnevat: „selle järeldamiseks, et esineb olulise kahju oht siseriikliku tootmisharu suhtes, mis ei ole praegu nähtavalt kahju kannatanud, hoolimata dumpinguhinnaga impordi mõjudest uurimisperioodi jooksul, on taustteabena vajalik mõista tootmisharu praegust olukorda.
For this exercise, it relied on more recent data and a prospective analysis presented to the OECD's Steel Committee in December 2013.
Asjaolu, et dumpinguhinnaga import suureneb ja avaldab kahjulikku mõju hinnale, ei võimalda ipso facto järeldada, et see kahjustab siseriiklikku tootmisharu: kui tootmisharu on väga heas seisukorras või kui esineb muid tegureid, ei pruugi dumpinguhinnaga import kahjuohtu kujutada.“ Seda põhjenduskäiku saab kohaldada ka subsiidiumivastastele juhtumitele.
