natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
These grants were given to the companies by national, provincial, city, county or district government authorities and all appeared to be specific to the sampled companies, or specific in terms of location or type of industry.
Et anda liidu tootmisharust võimalikult terviklik ülevaade, hankis komisjon andmeid kogu samasuguse tootega seotud tegevuse kohta ja tegi kindlaks, kas toodang on suunatud tootmisharusiseseks kasutamiseks või vabale turule.
The level of legal detail for the exact law under which these benefits were granted, if there was any legal basis for them at all, was not disclosed.
Komisjon leidis, et ligikaudu 60 % liidu tootjate kogutoodangust on ette nähtud tootmisharusiseseks kasutamiseks.
However, the Commission was sometimes provided with a copy of a document issued by a government authority which accompanied the grant of funds (referred to as ‘the notice’) during the verification visit.
Tarbimine enda tarbeks liidu turul
Given the large amount of different grants contained in the complaint and/or found in the books of the sampled companies, only a summary of the key findings is presented in this Regulation.
Tootmisharusisese tarbimise kindlakstegemisel liidus võttis komisjon aluseks kõigi teadaolevate liidu tootjate tootmisharusisese kasutamise ja tootmisharusisese müügi liidu turul.
Evidence of the existence of numerous grants and the fact that they had been granted by various levels of the GOC were initially supplied by the four sampled companies.
Selle põhjal muutus tootmisharusisene tarbimine liidus järgmiselt.
Examples of such grants were patent funds, science and technology funds and awards, business development funds, grants for basic infrastructure, support funds provided at district or provincial level, funds for the import of iron ore, funds for the company's relocation, overseas advanced technology introduction special fund, interest discounts on loans for imported equipment.
Tabel 1
These grants constitute subsidies within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) and (2) of the basic Regulation as a transfer of funds from the GOC in the form of grants to the producers of the product concerned took place and a benefit was thereby conferred.
Tarbimine enda tarbeks liidu turul (tonnides)
These grants are also specific within the meaning of Articles 4(2)(a) and 4(3) of the basic Regulation given that they appear to be limited to certain companies or specific projects in specific regions and/or the steel industry.
Allikas: Euroferi vastus küsimustikule
These grants do not meet the non-specificity requirements of Article 4(2)(b) of the basic Regulation, given that the eligibility conditions and the actual selection criteria for enterprises to be eligible are not transparent, not objective and do not apply automatically.
Tootmisharusisene tarbimine
In all cases the companies provided information as to the amount of the grant, and from whom the grant was received.
Indeks (2012 = 100)
The companies concerned also mostly booked this income under the heading ‘subsidy income’ in their accounts and had had these accounts independently audited.
Vaatlusalusel perioodil suurenes tootmisharusisene tarbimine liidu turul ligikaudu 4 %.
This has been taken as positive evidence of a subsidy that conferred a countervailable benefit.
Kõnealune suurenemine on peamiselt tingitud tootmisharusiseste turgude, sh tootmisosade, nagu autotööstus, kasvust.
Therefore, the Commission decided that the verified findings during on-the-spot verifications represented a reasonable indicator of the level of subsidisation in this respect.
Tarbimine liidu vabaturul
As those grants share common features, they are awarded by a public authority and are not part of a wider subsidy programme, but individual grants, the Commission assessed them together.
Liidu vabal turul toimuva tarbimise kindlakstegemisel võttis komisjon aluseks a) kõikide teadaolevate liidu tootjate müügi liidu turul ja b) impordi liitu kõikidest kolmandatest riikidest vastavalt Eurostati andmetele, võttes seega arvesse ka asjaomases riigis koostööd tegevate eksportivate tootjate esitatud andmeid.
In its reply to the disclosure the GOC claimed that not enough detail was provided by the Commission in order to justify the specificity of these grants.
Selle põhjal muutus vabal turul tarbimine liidus järgmiselt.
It should be pointed out, however, that very little detail was supplied to the Commission relating to these grants in questionnaire replies.
Tabel 2
The sampled exporting producers did not challenge the amounts calculated by the Commission, which were disclosed to them.
Tarbimine vabal turul (tonnides)
They also did not challenge the fact that these grants were received from the GOC.
Tarbimine vabal turul
The findings of the verifications were very different to the number and total value of grants reported in the questionnaire responses of the GOC.
Vaatlusalusel perioodil suurenes vabal turul tarbimine liidus ligikaudu 12 %.
The Commission decided that the on-the-spot findings represented a reasonable indicator of the level of subsidisation in this respect.
See tõus on peamiselt tingitud järgtööstuse majanduslikust taastumisest.
The fact that the Commission stated that the grants ‘appear’ to be limited exactly refers to this lack of transparency concerning the existence of objective eligibility criteria for the sampled companies.
Kui need kaks tabelit ühendati, muutus kogutarbimine (mis hõlmab seega tootmisharusisest ja vabal turul toimuvat tarbimist) vaatlusalusel perioodil järgmiselt.
The Commission did not accept that this approach demonstrates any failing to justify the specificity of the countervailed grants.
Tabel 3
The claim that the Commission did not meet the required standard for specificity was therefore rejected.
Kogutarbimine (tootmisharusisene ja vabal turul toimuv tarbimine) (tonnides)
The amount of subsidy established with regard to this type of subsidies during the IP for the sampled exporting producers was as follow:
Allikas: Euroferi vastus küsimustikule ja Eurostat.
Ad hoc grants
Kogutarbimine
Other grant schemes
Eespool esitatud tabel näitab, et kogutarbimine suurenes sel määral, et selle tase oli uurimisperioodil kõrgem kui vaatlusaluse perioodi alguses.
No financial contribution was received by the sampled exporting producers from the remaining grant programmes mentioned in section 3.3(iii) above during the IP.
Seda suundumust saab selgitada tootmisharusisese tarbimise kasvuga, mis oli absoluutarvudes suurem kui tarbimise kasv vabal turul.
Total for all grant schemes
Asjaomasest riigist pärit import
The total subsidy amounts established with regard to all grants during the IP for the sampled exporting producers were as follows:
Vaatlusalusest riigist pärit impordi maht ja turuosa
Grants
Komisjon määras impordimahu kindlaks Eurostati andmebaasi põhjal.
‘Foreign Trade Transformation and Upgrading Demonstration Bases’ (‘Demonstration Bases’) and ‘Common Service Platforms’
Impordi turuosa kindlakstegemiseks võrreldi impordi mahtu tarbimisega liidu vabal turul, nagu on esitatud eespool põhjenduse 414 tabelis.
This subsidy programme had been challenged by the USA at the WTO.
Hiina RVst pärit import liitu muutus järgmiselt.
In April 2016, China and the United States signed a Memorandum of Understanding [52], in which China committed itself to terminate, amend or replace all the legal instruments connected to this programme.
Tabel 4
During consultations, the GOC provided further proof of the implementation of these commitments.
Subsideeritud impordi kogumaht (tonnides) ja turuosa
In addition, none of the sampled companies had benefited from this programme during the IP.
Allikas: Eurostat
Therefore, the Commission considered that there was no evidence of subsidisation to be countervailed under this programme.
Hiina RVst pärit impordi maht
Subsidisation of the provision of HRF imports to the EU
Hiina RV turuosa
The complainant claimed that the GOC is providing a financial contribution to various actors in the supply chain of the HRF by providing HRF products at less than adequate remuneration as a result of its interventions in the production of HRF in the PRC, e.g. by offering policy loans, raw materials and energy at less than adequate remuneration, and that the benefit of this overall scheme is spread to all actors of the supply chain including the exporting producers in the PRC (who can continue operations and receive economies of scale), the related importers in the EU (who gain market share), the end customers in the EU (they buy at a price they know is lower in the market) and to the GOC itself (who achieves its policy objectives).
Eespool toodud tabelist selgub, et absoluutarvudes on asjaomasest riigist pärit import vaatlusalusel perioodil märkimisväärselt suurenenud.
The Commission observed that the basic Regulation tackles subsidies given by foreign governments to their exporting producers, which distort competition when they export to the European Union.
Teiseks ei saa eitada, et Hiina on riik, kust import liitu on oluliselt kasvanud.
Recital (5) requires that there has been a financial contribution by a government or a public body ‘within the territory’ of the subsidizing country.
Vaatlusalusest riigist pärit impordi hinnad ja hinna allalöömine
Moreover, Article 4 of the basic Regulation refers to the concept of specificity when a foreign government gives a subsidy to its industry ‘within the jurisdiction of the granting authority’.
Komisjon määras impordihinnad kindlaks Eurostati andmete põhjal.
It follows that subsidies given by a foreign government to entities outside its jurisdiction, such as unrelated importers in the European Union or even the end customer in the European Union are not covered by the instrument insofar as they cannot be attributed to the exporting producer.
Asjaomasest riigist liitu suunatud impordi kaalutud keskmine hind muutus järgmiselt.
The Commission did not find evidence that countervailable subsidies are provided by GOC to entities which are related to the exporting producer.
Tabel 5
Upon disclosure, the complainant stated that the Commission's interpretation of recital 5 and Article 4 of the basic Regulation were erroneous.
Impordihinnad (eurot/tonn)
In its view, Recital 5 is not a binding norm and to the extent to which there is a territorial requirement, it does not apply an overriding requirement.
Subsideeritud impordi keskmine hind
In support of this contention, the complainant cited recital 3 of the basic Regulation according to which WTO rules — which do not have a territorial restriction under the Panel's finding in Brazil — Aircraft [53]- should be taken into account.
Impordi keskmised hinnad langesid uurimisperioodil 600 eurolt tonni eest 2012. aastal 404 euroni tonni eest.
With respect to Article 4 of the basic Regulation, the complainant found support for its interpretation in paragraph 4, according to which there is specificity of export- contingent subsidies.
Vaatlusalusel perioodil oli subsideeritud hinnaga impordi keskmise ühikuhinna langus ligikaudu 33 %.
The Commission rejected these arguments.
Komisjon hindas hinna allalöömist uurimisperioodil, võrreldes:
First of all, the recitals of the basic regulation are legally binding, as they set out the motivation of the basic Regulation.
kuue liidu tootja tehasehindade tasemele kohandatud kaalutud keskmisi hindu tooteliigi kohta, mida kasutati müümisel sõltumatutele klientidele liidu vabal turul, ja ning
As such they form an important source for the interpretation of the legal act.
vastavaid kaalutud keskmisi CIF-hindu liidu piiril imporditud tooteliigi kohta, millega asjaomase riigi koostööd tegevate tootjate tooteid müüdi esimesele sõltumatule kliendile liidu turul ja mida oli asjakohaselt kohandatud vastavalt impordijärgsetele kuludele.
Second, the complainant does not follow its own position, when it tries to oppose the territoriality element in recital 5 by reference to another recital, namely recital 3.
Hindu võrreldi tooteliikide kaupa samal kaubandustasandil toimunud tehingutes, tehes vajaduse korral nõuetekohased kohandused ning arvates maha tagasimaksed ja hinnaalandused.
It is unclear, why recital 3 should be legally non-binding, while recital 3 would be legally binding.
Võrdluse tulemust väljendati protsendina liidu tootjate käibest uurimisperioodil.
Hence, the formal argument against recital 5 is not convincing.
Peamised kohandused olid seotud tarnekulude (varieerub vahemikus 2,7 % kuni 6,3 % valimisse kaasatud liidu tootja kohta) ja hinnaalandustega (varieerub vahemikus 0,1 % ja 19,5 %).
Third, the authority of the Panel in Brazil — Aircraft does not cover the present case.
Kuna käesoleval juhul ei astunud esile ükski sõltumatu importija, lisati impordijärgsed kulud väärtuses 7 eurot tonni kohta.
In the Panel case the subsidy was given to the aircraft suppliers within Brazil and shared with purchasers outside.
Samasugune kohandamine tehti uurimises ka teatavate külmvaltsitud lehtterastoodete puhul [55] ja seega pidas komisjon selle summa kasutamist asjakohaseks ka käesolevas juhtumis: vaatlusalune toode sarnaneb mitmel viisil teatavate külmvaltsitud lehtterastoodetega.
Here, the subsidy would not be given to Chinese producers in China at all, but only to actors outside.
Eelmainitu põhjal tuvastati, et Hiina subsideeritud hinnaga import oli 2,7 % kuni 5,6 % madalam liidu tootmisharu hindadest.
Fourth, the reference to Article 4(4) of the basic Regulation does not support the complainant's point either.
Liidu tootmisharu majanduslik olukord
Under the provision, a subsidy is specific when the granting authority gives it to a producing company located within its jurisdiction with the proviso that it should be used for export purposes.
Üldised märkused
That is fundamentally different from granting a subsidy directly to an actor outside its jurisdiction.
Uurides alusmääruse artikli 8 lõike 4 kohaselt subsideeritud impordi mõju liidu tootmisharule, hinnati kõiki vaatlusalusel perioodil liidu tootmisharu seisundit mõjutanud majanduslikke näitajaid.
For these reasons, the Commission maintained its position that subsidies given by foreign government to entities outside its jurisdiction, such as unrelated importers in the European Union or even the end customer in the European Union are not covered by the instrument insofar as they cannot be attributed to the exporting producer.
Makromajanduslikke näitajaid (toodang, tootmisvõimsus, tootmisvõimsuse rakendamine, müügimaht, varud, kasv, turuosa, tööhõive, tootlikkus ja dumpingumarginaalide suurusjärk) hinnati kogu liidu tootmisharu tasandil.
Conclusion on subsidisation
Hinnang põhines kaebuse esitaja esitatud teabel, mida võrreldi liidu tootjate esitatud andmete ja kättesaadava ametliku statistikaga (Eurostat).
The Commission calculated the amount of countervailable subsidies in accordance with the provisions of the basic Regulation for the sampled companies by examining each subsidy or subsidy programme, and added these figures together to calculate a total amount of subsidisation for each exporting producer for the IP.
Mikromajanduslikke näitajaid (müügihind, kasumlikkus, rahavoog, investeeringud, investeeringutasuvus, kapitali kaasamise võime, töötasud ja tootmiskulud) analüüsiti valimisse kaasatud liidu tootjate tasandil.
To calculate the overall subsidisation below, the Commission first calculated the percentage subsidisation, being the subsidy amount as a percentage of the company's total turnover.
Hinnang põhines nende esitatud teabel, mida nõuetekohaselt kontrolliti.
This percentage was then used to calculate the subsidy allocated to exports of the product concerned to the Union during the IP.
Et anda võimalikult ülevaatlik pilt liidu tootmisharust, kogus komisjon andmeid vaatlusaluse toote kogutoodangu kohta ja tegi kindlaks, kas toodang oli ette nähtud sisekasutuseks või vabaturu jaoks.
The subsidy amount per tonne of product concerned exported to the Union during the IP was then calculated, and the margins below calculated as a percentage of the Costs, Insurance and Freight (‘CIF’) value of the same exports per tonne.
Teatavate liidu tootmisharuga seotud näitajate puhul uuris komisjon vaba ja tootmisharusisest turgu käsitlevaid andmeid eraldi ning tegi nende võrdleva analüüsi.
In accordance with Article 15(3) of the basic Regulation, the total subsidy amount for the cooperating companies not included in the sample is calculated on the basis of the total weighted average amount of countervailing subsidies established for the cooperating exporting producers in the sample with the exclusion of negligible amounts as well as the amount of subsidies established for the grants of Jiangsu Shagang Group which are subject to the provisions of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation.
Need tegurid on järgmised: müügimaht, turuosa, ühikuhinnad, ühikukulu, kasumlikkus ja rahakäive.
However, the Commission did not disregard findings related to preferential lending even if it had to rely partially on best facts available to determine those amounts.
Muude majandusnäitajate uurimisel on aga mõttekas tugineda kogu tegevusele, sealhulgas liidu tootmisharu poolsele tarbimisele tootmisharusisesel turul, sest need sõltuvad kogu tegevusest, olenemata sellest, kas toodang on suunatud tootmisharusisesele turule või seda müüakse vabal turul.
Indeed, the Commission considered that the best facts available and used in those cases did not affect substantially the information needed to determine the amount of subsidisation through the preferential leading in a fairly manner, so that exporters who were not asked to cooperate in the investigation were not prejudiced by using this approach.
Need tegurid on järgmised: tootmisvõimsus, tootmisvõimsuse rakendamine, investeeringud, investeeringute tasuvus, tööhõive, tootlikkus, varud ja tööjõukulud.
In any event, the Commission recalled that non-sampled cooperating companies can have recourse to accelerated reviews in accordance with Article 20 of the basic Regulation.
Nende näitajate puhul on kogu liidu tootmisharu analüüs põhjendatud, et saada täielik ülevaade liidu tootmisharule tekitatud kahjust, sest kõnealuseid andmeid ei saa tootmisharusisesel ja vabal turul toimuva müügi vahel eristada.
Given the high rate of cooperation of Chinese exporting producers, the amount for ‘all other companies’ was set at the level of the highest amount established for the sampled companies.
Makromajanduslikud näitajad
The ‘all other companies’ amount will be applied to those companies which did not cooperate in the investigation.

Tootmisvõimsuse rakendamine
Definition of the Union industry and Union production
Vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul suurenes liidu tootmisharu tootmismaht 2 %, hoolimata asjaolust, et üks Itaaliast pärit liidu tootja vähendas sama perioodi jooksul oluliselt oma tootmist (– 3 miljonit tonni).
Within the Union, 17 companies provided production and sales data in the standing exercise and indicated that they produced the like product during the investigation period.
Laekunud andmed tootmisvõimsuse kohta näitavad tehnilist võimsust, mis tähendab seda, et maha on arvestatud tootmisharu poolt standardiks loetavad kohandamised seadistamise, hoolduse, ja kitsaskohtadega seotud ajakulu ning muude tavapäraste tööseisakute suhtes.
Based on the available information from the complaint, these 17 companies are representing around 90 % of the production of the like product in the Union.
Tootmisvõimsus vähenes vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul tootmise peatumise tõttu Belgias ja Itaalias.
Apart from these 17 companies, there were five other companies producing the like product during the investigation period.
Tootmisvõimsuse kasutamismäära suurenemine oli tingitud tootmisvõimsuse väiksest suurenemisest, mida põhjustas peamiselt tootmisharusisese tarbimise suurenemine (+ 4 %) ja vabaturu tarbimise suurenemine (+ 12 %) ning mis toimus hoolimata tootmismahu olulisest vähenemisest peamiselt ühe Itaalia tootja poolt.
The total Union production during the investigation period was established at around 74,7 million tonnes.
Müügimaht ja turuosa
The Commission established the figure on the basis of all the available information concerning the Union industry, such as information from the complainant and from all known producers in the Union.
Liidu tootmisharu müügimaht ja turuosa vabal turul muutus vaatlusalusel perioodil järgmiselt.
As indicated in recital (18), six Union producers were selected in the sample representing 45 % of the total Union production of the like product.
Tabel 7
This is a representative sample.
Müügimaht ja turuosa (vaba turg)
The Union producers accounting for the total Union production constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation and are referred to as the ‘Union industry’.
Müügimaht (tonnides)
The business model of the Union producers and their degree of vertical integration varies.
Turuosa
Nevertheless, the Union industry can overall be characterised as an industry with a high degree of vertical integration, as further explained in recital (408) below.
Liidu tootmisharu müügimaht liidu turul jäi suhteliselt stabiilseks vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul, st vahemikku 27 kuni 28 miljonit tonni.
Union consumption
Vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul vähenes liidu tootmisharu turuosa liidu tarbimise seisukohalt enam kui 9 protsendipunkti, st turuosalt 86,8 % turuosani 77,7 %.
As mentioned in recital (45) above, the product concerned falls within a number of CN codes including certain ex codes.
Liidu tootmisharu turuosa kahanemine ületas oluliselt selle müügimahu vähest suurenemist liidu vabal turul.
In order not to underestimate Union consumption, and in view of the apparent marginal impact of such codes on total consumption, import volumes of CN ex codes have been fully accounted for the purpose of calculating Union consumption.
Tootmisharusisesel liidu turul muutus maht ja turuosa vaatlusalusel perioodil järgmiselt.
As the Union industry is mostly vertically integrated and the product concerned is regarded as a primary material for the production of various value added downstream products, starting with cold-rolled products, captive and free market consumptions were analysed separately.
Tabel 8
The distinction between captive and free market is relevant for the injury analysis because products destined for captive use are not exposed to direct competition from imports, and transfer prices are set within the groups according to various price policies.
Tootmisharusisene maht liidu turul ja turuosa
By contrast, production destined for the free market is in direct competition with imports of the product concerned, and prices are free market prices.
Tootmisharusisene maht liidu turul (tonnides)
To provide a picture of the Union industry that is as complete as possible, the Commission obtained data for the entire activity of the like product and determined whether the production was destined for captive use or for the free market.
Liidu tootmisharu kogutoodang (tonnides)
The Commission found that around 60 % of the total Union producers' production was destined for captive use.
Tootmisharusisese mahuprotsent, võrreldes kogutoodanguga
Captive consumption on the Union market
Liidu tootmisharu sisene maht (mis hõlmab tootmisharusisest kasutamist ja müüki liidu turul) liidu turul suurenes vaatlusalusel perioodil 4 %: ligikaudu 40,7 miljonilt tonnilt 2011. aastal 42,2 miljonile tonnile uurimisperioodil.
The Commission established the Union captive consumption on the basis of the captive use and captive sales on the Union market of all known producers in the Union.
Liidu tootmisharu tootmisharusisene turuosa (väljendatud kogutoodangu protsendina) jäi vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul stabiilseks, jäädes vahemikku 55,7 % kuni 56,7 %.
On this basis, the Union captive consumption developed as follows:
Tööhõive ja tootlikkus
Table 1
Tööhõive arvutati, võttes ainult liidu tootjate erinevates terasetehastes samasuguse tootega otseselt töötavad töötajad.
