The 863 and 973 programmes confer subsidies within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation in the form of a transfer of funds from the GOC in the form of grants to the producers of the product under review.
Ja viimaseks, huvitatud isik ei tõestanud, et vaba turu elementide hindade ja elementide impordi vähenemise vahel puudub seos.
The 863 and 973 programmes are specific subsidies in the form of grants.
Nagu nähtub tabelist 8b, siis liidus elemente tootva tootmisharu müügihinnad tõepoolest tõusid, kui Hiinast pärit elementide impordi maht ja turuosa vähenesid 2014. aasta (mil meetmed hakkasid täielikult kehtima) ja läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodi vahel.
Tax incentives
Seega lükati need väited tagasi.
Various preferential tax schemes are applicable to companies in the PV industry and these schemes are engrained in the ruling tax law.
Pärast järelduste teatavaks tegemist vaidlustas Hiina valitsus asjaolu, et suletud ja vaba turu ühine analüüsimine välistab tegelikult vaba turu analüüsimise, sest see moodustab liidu elementide kogutootmisest vaid 4 %.
During consultation and the verification visit, the GOC did not indicate the intention to amend its tax laws.
Seetõttu ei uurinud komisjon omamaise tootmisharu olukorda tervikuna ega täida seetõttu dumpinguvastase lepingu punktis 3.1 esitatud objektiivsuse nõudeid.
As for tax and duty exemptions on equipment as found for some of the PV producers, the equipment on which the exemptions were applied, are subject to depreciation and therefore, the benefit in the form of tax and/or duty exemptions is amortised accordingly in the years to come (i.e. beyond the RIP).
Komisjonile jäi arusaamatuks, kuidas välistab elementide suletud ja vaba turu ühine analüüsimine vaba turu analüüsi.
On the basis of the above, the Commission considers that the expiry of the measures would be likely to lead to a continuation of subsidisation.
Tegelikult analüüsis komisjon paljusid kahjunäitajaid, näiteks kasumlikkust, müügihindu ja investeeringute tasuvust, ainult vaba turu kohta.
Impact of subsidisation on the exports to the Union
Peale selle analüüsitakse paljusid näitajaid kumulatiivselt isegi juhul, kui tootmisharusisese turu ja vaba turu kohta tehakse eraldi analüüs [53].
The Commission also examined whether subsidised exports from the PRC to the Union would increase should the measures be allowed to lapse.
Need näitajad on sageli järgmised: tootmine, tootmisvõimsus, tootmisvõimsuse rakendamine, investeeringud, investeeringutasuvus, tööhõive, tootlikkus, varud ja tööjõukulud.
In this regard, the Commission relied on information available from Bloomberg New Energy Finance and on the questionnaire replies provided by the cooperating sampled companies.
Ja viimaseks, üksnes vabal turul elemente müüvate liidu elemenditootjate kahjunäitajate suundumus oli samasugune ja seega kehtivad nende suhtes samuti järeldused, mis tehti kogu liidu elementide tootmisharu suhtes.
As explained in details in section 5.1 below, the existing Chinese production capacity would cover over twenty times the Union demand referred to in recital 516 below and almost two times the world demand.
Hiina valitsus märkis, et Maailma Kaubandusorganisatsiooni kohtupraktika kohaselt peab juhul, kui osal uurimisalusest tootest on suletud turg, tegema võrdleva analüüsi.
Such overcapacity was also confirmed by the data provided by the sampled cooperating producers which all showed the existence of spare capacities for their existing production sites while new production sites were being set up adding even more production capacities.
Komisjon oli seisukohal, et isegi kui see nõue kehtiks kõnealuse väga konkreetse juhtumi puhul, on see igal juhul täidetud.
Moreover, as developed in section 5.2 below, the Union market is considered very attractive for the Chinese exporting producers.
Suletud turul müüdavate liidu elementide tootmise osa kahju on tehtud kindlaks nende moodulite kaudse hinnasurve põhjal, millesse need elemendid paigaldatakse.
Last but not least, the level of prices in the Union, which are higher than in other third markets, would incentivise the Chinese producers to export to the Union rather than to other third markets.
Vabal turul müüdavate liidu elementide tootmise kahju näitajaid on hinnatud samuti eraldi ja nende suundumus on sama, mis turu suletud osa puhul (mis on seetõttu, et see moodustab liidu tootmisest 96 %, kumulatiivse hindamisega peaaegu identsed).
Therefore, the Commission concludes that in view of the likelihood of continuation of subsidisation, combined with the significant spare capacity of the Chinese PV industry and the attractiveness of the Union market, it is likely that Chinese producers will increase their exports of the product under review at subsidised prices to the Union market, if measures are allowed to lapse
Sellest tulenevalt lükati see väide tagasi.
In view of the above, in accordance with Article 18(3) of the basic Regulation, the Commission concludes that subsidisation during the RIP has continued and there is a strong likelihood of a continuation of subsidisation to the PV industry, if the measures in force were allowed to lapse.
Hiina valitsus väitis veel, et avaldusega, et liidu tootjate moodulid konkureerivad kolmandates riikides Hiina elementidest monteeritud moodulitega, laiendatakse ebaseaduslikult uurimise ulatust.
INJURY
Kuid need moodulid on kuulunud uurimise alla algusest peale, sest elemendid määravad moodulite päritolu [54].
Definition of the Union industry and Union production
Pärast järelduste teatavaks tegemist väitis üks huvitatud isik, et kasumlikkuse analüüs liidu elementide tootmise 4 % suuruse osa alusel ei ole tollimaksude säilitamise vajaduse õigeks hindamiseks tüüpiline.
They constitute the ‘Union industry’ within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Liidu tootmisharu olukorra hindamiseks analüüsiti aga kõiki muid näitajaid, arvestades nii elementide suletud kui ka vaba turgu.
All available information concerning the Union industry was used to establish the total Union production for the RIP since complete public information on production was not available.
Äriühing Jabil monteeris läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil mooduleid teiste äriühingute jaoks lepingulise tootjana.
This information included: macroeconomic data provided by the applicant, but collected on its behalf by Europressedienst, an independent consultancy firm; the standing replies of interested parties provided at pre-initiation stage and the verified questionnaire responses of the sampled Union producers.
Seega ei põhinenud tulu, millest äriühing Jabil teada andis, mitte moodulite müügil, vaid teenustasudel.
On this basis, the total Union production during the review investigation period was estimated to be at around 3409 MW for modules and 1270 MW for cells.
Seetõttu otsustas komisjon eraldada äriühingu Jabil kasuminäitajad ülejäänud liidu moodulite tootmisharu kasuminäitajatest, vt põhjendused 563–565.
Determination of the relevant Union market
Seoses ülejäänud kahjunäitajatega ei saanud äriühingu Jabil monteerimisteenust, mida ta osutas koostööd mitteteinud moodulitootjatele, kontrollida ja seetõttu ei võetud seda arvesse.
A part of the Union industry is vertically integrated and, as far as the production of cells is concerned, a substantial part of the Union industry's production was destined for captive use (96 %).
Pärast järelduste teatavaks tegemist palus üks huvitatud isik täiendavaid selgitusi selle kohta, milliseid äriühingu Jabil andmeid arvestati ja milliseid mitte ning miks.
Hence, the free market for cells was very marginal.
Komisjon võttis kõigi kahjunäitajate, välja arvatud kasumlikkuse puhul, arvesse kõiki äriühingu Jabil esitatud andmeid, mis on seotud koostööd teinud liidu moodulitootjatega.
Following disclosure, one interested party contested the last statement arguing that the free market constituted a big part of the total market for cells (estimated at 3409 MW, see table 1b below).
Arvesse võeti vaid neid andmeid seetõttu, et neid oli võimalik kontrollida; ülejäänud andmeid ei arvestatud äriühingu Jabil konkreetse ärimudeli ja asjaolu tõttu, et lõplikke müügihindu ei olnud võimalik kontrollida.
The Commission accepted this correction as indeed the captive market in the Union constituted only 31,8 % of the total cells consumption.
Liidu tarbimine
However, this does not alter the finding that a substantial part of the Union industry's cells production was destined for captive use and has no impact on the analysis made on injury and Union interest.
Komisjon määras liidu tarbimise kindlaks vaatlusaluse toote koguimpordi ja samasuguse toote kogumüügi põhjal liidus, arvestades ka omatarbimist.
Indeed, the free market for cells is mainly served by imports and not by sales of the Union cells producers, given the fact that most of the cells producers exited the market in the last few years.
Liidu tootmisharu kogumüük tehti kindlaks konsultatsioonifirma Europressedienst esitatud teabe järgi, mida korrigeeriti vajaduse korral huvitatud isikute algatamiseelses etapis representatiivsusuuringule antud vastuste ja valimisse kaasatud äriühingute küsimustikule antud kontrollitud vastuste põhjal.
In order to establish whether the Union industry continued to suffer injury and to determine consumption and the various economic indicators related to the situation of the Union industry, the Commission examined whether and to what extent the subsequent use of the Union industry's production of the like product (‘captive use’) had to be taken into account in the analysis.
Nagu märgitud põhjenduses 519, olid impordiandmete aluseks Comexti andmebaas ja andmed, mille liikmesriigid olid esitanud komisjonile alusmääruse artikli 14 lõike 6 kohaselt (edaspidi „artikli 14 lõike 6 kohane andmebaas“).
The Commission analysed the following economic indicators by referring to the total activity (including the captive use of the industry): consumption, sales volume, production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, growth, investments, stocks, employment, productivity, cash flow, return on investment, ability to raise capital and magnitude of the subsidy margin.
Tarbimise andmeid võrreldi muude allikate [55] andmetega.
For those indicators the Commission found, in line with the original investigation, that the production destined for captive use was equally affected by the competition of imports from the country concerned.
Liidu tarbimine muutus järgmiselt.
The cells destined for the captive market were used as the main component for the production of modules.
Tabel 1a
Therefore, the direct competition of imports of modules from the country concerned faced by the Union module producers also exercised an indirect pressure on the captive sales price and/or costs of production of the cells used in those modules.
Liidu tarbimine moodulite segmendis (MW)
In addition, the import of cells from the PRC increased the pressure on module producers using captive cell production.
Allikas: Europressedienst, representatiivsusuuringu vastused, küsimustiku kontrollitud vastused, Comext ja artikli 14 lõike 6 kohane andmebaas.
They were competing not only with modules assembled in third countries from Chinese cells, but also with modules assembled in the Union using those imported Chinese cells.
Läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperiood
Consequently, in contrast to other cases [52], where a distinction between captive and free market was relevant for the injury analysis because products destined for captive use were found not to be exposed to direct competition from imports, the Commission established at the case at hand that for most of the economic indicators, no distinction between captive and free market was justified.
Kogu turg
However, as regards profitability, the Commission looked only at the sales on the free market.
Indeks (2012 = 100)
The prices on the captive market were set according to various pricing policies (transfer pricing at virtual market price, transfer on the basis of the actual costs, etc.).
Tabel 1b
Thus they did not always reflect prices at arm's length and could not be taken into account when assessing this indicator.
Liidu tarbimine elementide segmendis (MW)
Following disclosure, several parties argued that the state of the Union cells industry should have been assessed separately for the captive market and the free market.
Üldiselt vähenes liidu tarbimine oluliselt 2012. aasta ja läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodi vahelisel ajal.
First, they claimed that the Commission failed to provide a proper reasoning on how the captive market has been equally affected by the competition of the imports from the PRC.
Moodulite tarbimine vähenes liidus 56 %.
Second, one party contended that since the Commission considered that the prices on the captive market were unreliable to assess profitability, it is equally inaccurate to draw the conclusion that they underwent pressure because of imports of modules.
Kuid pärast järsku vähenemist 2012.–2013. aastal 35 % võrra oli tarbimine 2014. aastal ja läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil üsna stabiilne.
Third, a common analysis of the two markets contradicts the fact that cell consumption decreased less than the module consumption during the period considered.
Elementide tarbimine vähenes veidi vähem, st vaatlusalusel perioodil 26 %.
This arguably means that there is no direct link between import of modules and import of cells and between the decrease in imports of cells and prices of cells exposed to the free market.
Tarbimine vähenes peamiselt 2013. ja 2014. aastal, mil see langes järsult 26 % võrra.
First, contrary to the claims of the parties, the Commission provided in recitals 503-504 above a detailed reasoning on how the captive market for cells has been equally affected by the competition of the imports from the PRC.
Kuid läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil hakkas see suurenema ja oli võrreldes 2014. aastaga 4,5 % suurem.
Since the cell is the main component for the production of a module, the imports of modules from the PRC exercise an indirect pressure on the captive sales price of cells, when the transfer price is based on a virtual market price.
Asjaomasest riigist pärit import
In the alternative, when the transfer is based on actual cost, imported cells put pressure on companies to make their production process more efficient.
Impordimahud ja -väärtused tehti kindlaks eri allikate põhjal.
Second, even though the prices on the captive market are unreliable to assess profitability, the Commission considered the development of those prices a relevant factor for assessing whether the captive market faced competition from the imports from the PRC.
2012. aasta ja osa 2013. aasta näitajate aluseks olid taotleja esitatud andmed, mille kogus tema nimel konsultatsioonifirma Europressedienst; kuna mooduleid ja elemente imporditi sellel ajal liitu tollitariifistiku rubriikide all, mis hõlmavad ka muid käesolevasse uurimisse mittekuuluvaid tooteid, ei saanud kasutada Eurostati andmeid.
Third, the Commission did not assert that there is a direct link between imports of modules and import of cells.
Pärast moodulite ja elementide impordi registreerimise nõude kehtestamist 6. märtsil 2013 [56] oli võimalik kasutada Eurostati andmeid.
Rather it observed that the captive use of cells is also subject to the direct competition of imports of cells and indirect competition of imports of modules since the captive cells are used for producing modules.
Ülejäänud 2013. aasta, 2014. aasta ja läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodi kohta tegi komisjon järeldused Comexti andmebaasi [57] ja artikli 14 lõike 6 kohase andmebaasi põhjal.
Finally, the interested party failed to prove that there is no link between prices of cells on the free market and decrease in imports of cells.
Asjaomasest riigist pärit impordi maht ja turuosa
Indeed, as evident from Table 8b the sales prices of the Union cells industry increased when the imports of cells from China decreased both in volume and in market share between 2014, when the measures started to have a full effect, and the RIP.
Asjaomase riigi import liitu muutus järgmiselt.
Consequently, these arguments were rejected.
Tabel 2a
Following disclosure, the Government of China (‘GOC’) contended that a common analysis of the captive and free market for cells actually eliminates an analysis of the free market as it is only 4 % of the total Union cell production.
Moodulite import HRVst (MW) ja turuosa [58]Allikas: Comext ja artikli 14 lõike 6 kohane andmebaas.
The Commission thus failed to examine the state of the domestic industry as a whole and does not, therefore satisfy the requirements of ‘objectiv[ity]’ in Article 3.1 of the Anti-dumping Agreement.
HRVst pärit impordi maht
The Commission failed to understand how the common analysis of the captive and free market for cells eliminated an analysis of the free market.
Indeks
In fact, the Commission analysed a number of injury indicators only for the free market such as profitability, sales prices and return on investments.
Turuosa (%)
In addition, a number of indicators are analysed cumulatively, even in cases when a separate analysis of captive and non-captive market is made [53].
Tabel 2b
Those indicators often are: production, capacity, capacity utilisation, investments, return on investments, employment, productivity, stocks and labour costs.
Elementide import HRVst (MW) ja turuosa
Last but not least, the injury indicators of those Union cell producers which sold exclusively on the free market followed the same trends, and, as a result, the conclusions reached for the entire Union cell industry apply to them as well.
Allikas: Comext ja artikli 14 lõike 6 kohane andmebaas.
The GOC insisted that according to WTO case law, in case of the presence of a captive market for part of the product under investigation, a comparative analysis has to be carried out.
Vaatlusalusel perioodil vähenes HRVst pärit moodulite impordimaht 73 % ja turuosa vähenes vastavalt 39 %, st 66 %-lt 2012. aastal 41 %-le läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil.
The Commission considered that this requirement, if it was applicable in the present, very specific case, was in any event complied with.
Kuid pärast kehtivate meetmete kehtestamist 2013. aastal vähenes moodulite impordimaht 2013. ja 2014. aasta vahel 45 %, samas kui tarbimine vähenes 31 %.
For the part of the Union cell production that is sold on a captive market, injury has been established on the basis of indirect price pressure at the level of the modules into which those cells are built.
Elementide impordi maht suurenes vaatlusalusel perioodil 65 %, kuid turuosa suurenes kahaneva turu kontekstis oluliselt rohkem, st 123 % (7 %-lt 2012. aastal 16 %-le läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil).
For the part of the Union cell production that is sold on a free market, the injury indicators have also been assessed separately, and show the same trends as for the captive part of the market (which, due to the fact that it represents 96 % of Union production, are virtually identical to the cumulative assessment).
Samas suurenes elementide import 2013. ja 2014. aasta vahelisel ajal 59 % ja turuosa suurenes sellest tulenevalt 10 protsendipunkti.
Consequently, this argument was rejected.
Ehkki hüppeline suurenemine läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil ei jätkunud, oli imporditase läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil tunduvalt kõrgem kui 2012. ja 2013. aastal.
The GOC also argued that the statement that the Union modules manufacturers compete with modules assembled in third countries with Chinese cells unlawfully extends the scope of the investigation.
Asjaomasest riigist pärit impordi hinnad
However, such modules have been included in the scope of the investigation from the outset since cells confer origin to modules [54].
Komisjon määras impordihinnad kindlaks Comexti ja artikli 14 lõike 6 kohase andmebaasi põhjal.
Following disclosure, another party claimed that the analysis of profitability on the basis of 4 % of the Union cell production is not representative for an accurate assessment on the need to maintain duties.
Asjaomasest riigist liitu suunatud impordi keskmine hind muutus järgmiselt.
The Commission noted that only profitability was assessed exclusively on the basis of the sales of cells to independent customers for the reasons set out in recital 506 above.
Tabel 3a
However, for the purposes of assessing the state of Union industry, all other indicators were analysed taking into account both the captive and free market of cells.
Moodulite impordihinnad (eurodes kW kohta)
Jabil assembled modules on behalf of other companies during the RIP as a contract manufacturer.
HRV impordihinnad
For this assembly service, the other companies paid a fee.
Tabel 3b
Consequently, the revenue reported by Jabil was not derived from the sales of modules, but from the from the service fees.
HRVst pärit impordi keskmine hind langes vaatlusalusel perioodil moodulite puhul 22 % ja elementide puhul 43 %.
Therefore, the Commission decided to distinguish Jabil's profit figures from the profit figures of the rest of the Union module industry (see recitals 563 and 565 below).
Elementide hinna alanemine jätkus 2013. ja 2014. aasta vahelisel ajal, mil see langes järsult 19,4 %, kuid hind tõusis veidi 2014. aasta ja läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodi vahel, st 1,4 %.
For the remaining injury indicators, the assembly activities provided by Jabil to non-cooperating module producers could not be verified and therefore were not taken into account.
Peaaegu kõigil läbivaatamisega seotud uurimisperioodil mooduleid ja elemente müünud eksportivatel tootjatel oli hinnakohustus ning nende ELi suunatud ekspordi hinnad määrati kindlaks nimetatud hinnakohustuste alusel, millega kehtestati minimaalne impordihind.
Following disclosure, one interested party requested further clarifications on what data from Jabil was or was not taken into account and why.
Moodulite impordi mahust vaid 1,6 % ja elementide impordi mahust vaid 0,6 % imporditi muu hinnaga kui minimaalne impordihind [59].
For all injury indicators, except for profitability, the Commission has taken into account all data provided by Jabil which relate to the cooperating Union module producers.
Seega ei saanud neid ekspordihindu lugeda asjassepuutuvaks näitajaks, et teha kindlaks eksportivate tootjate hinnakäitumist juhul, kui meetmed ei kehtiks.
Only that data was taken into account as it could be verified, while the rest was disregarded, in view of Jabil's particular business model and the fact that the final sales prices could not be verified.
Pärast järelduste teatavaks tegemist väitis mitu isikut, et hinna allalöömise kindlaksmääramiseks tuleks kasutada ELi suunatud ekspordi hinda ja et nende arvutuste järgi selle põhjal hinna allalöömist ei esinenud.
Union consumption
See on tõsi, et ELi suunatud ekspordi hindade põhjal moodulite puhul hinna allalöömist ei esine ja elementide puhul on see vähe tähtis.
The Commission established the Union consumption on the basis of the total volume of imports of the product concerned and the volume of total sales of the like product in the Union, including those destined for captive use.
Kuid komisjon otsustas, et hinna allalöömise puudumine minimaalse impordihinna järgimise tõttu ei olnud liidu tootmisharu hetkeolukorra analüüsis otsustav tegur.
The total sales of the Union industry were based on the information provided by Europressedienst, corrected, where appropriate, with data from the standing replies of interested parties submitted at pre-initiation stage and the verified questionnaire replies of the sampled companies.
Nagu märgitud põhjenduses 573, tegi komisjon kindlaks, et liidu tootmisharu kandis jätkuvalt kahju eelmise uurimise käigus kindlaks tehtud subsideerimise ulatuse ja meetmetest kõrvalehoidmise tõttu, nagu on osutatud põhjenduses 4, ja tootmisharul ei olnud piisavalt aega sellest taastumiseks.
As indicated in recital 519 below, import data was based on Comext and the data reported to the Commission by the Member States in accordance with Article 14(6) of the basic Regulation (‘Article 14(6) database’).
Kolmandatest riikidest pärit impordi hinnad
