natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The above interested parties claimed that the same procedural rights should have granted to the exporting producers concerned by the current implementation than those granted to the sampled exporting producers during the original investigation.
See on nõutav vaid juhtudel, kus komisjon keeldub huvitatud isiku esitatud andmetest.
They argued that in particular, the Chinese exporting producers were not provided any opportunity to complement their MET/IT claim forms via deficiency letters and only desk analysis had been carried out rather than on-spot verification visits.
Praeguse juhtumi menetlemisel võttis komisjon eksportivate tootjate esitatud andmed vastu ja kasutas neid hinnangu andmisel.
In addition, the Commission did not ensure the due delivery of the disclosure of the assessment of MET/IT requests to the exporting producers concerned as these were only sent to the legal representatives of these companies at the time of the original investigation.
See ei ole kättesaadavate andmete kasutamine.
It was further argued that the exporting producers concerned by this implementation were not provided with the same procedural guarantees than those applied in standard anti-dumping investigations, but stricter standards were applied.
Komisjon ei ole keeldunud mis tahes teavet vastu võtmast.
The Commission has not taken into account the time lag between the filing of the MET/IT request in the original investigation and the assessment of these claims.
Liidu huvi
In addition, exporting producers, during the original investigation were only provided 15 days in order to fill in the MET/IT requests, instead of the usual 21 days.
Üks importija väitis, et komisjon ei uurinud, kas dumpinguvastaste tollimaksude kehtestamine on liidu huvides ning väitis, et meetmed oleksid liidu huvidega vastuolus, sest i) meetmetega taotletud mõju saavutati juba nende esmasel kehtestamisel; ii) meetmed ei anna liidu tööstussektorile täiendavaid hüvesid; iii) meetmed ei mõjuta eksportivaid tootjaid ja iv) meetmetega suurendatakse oluliselt liidu importijate kulutusi.
In addition, one of the importers claimed that the procedural rights of the exporting producers were violated as they were no longer in a position to provide meaningful comments or provide additional information to support claims that were made 11 years ago as the companies may no longer exist or the documents may no longer be available.
Käesolev juhtum puudutab vaid turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotlusi, sest vaid nende puhul on liidu kohtud tuvastanud õigusrikkumise.
The same party argued that unlike in the original investigation, the current reimposition of the measures would only affect the importers in the Union without, however, any option for them to provide meaningful input.
Liidu huvides on, et esialgne määrus jääb täies mahus kehtima.
Also, it was claimed that the Commission applied de facto facts available within the meaning of Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation, while the Commission did not comply with the procedural rules set out in Article 18(4) of the basic Regulation.
Lisaks on praegune meede liidu finantshuvide kaitseks põhjendatud.
The Commission observes that nothing in the basic Regulation requires the Commission to give exporting companies claiming MET/IT the possibility to complete lacking factual information.
Ilmsed vead turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotluste hindamisel
It recalls that according to the case-law, the burden of proof lies with the producer wishing to claim MET/IT under Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation.
Turumajandusliku kohtlemise hindamine
Accordingly, as held by the Court in the judgments in Brosmann and Aokang, there is no obligation on the Institutions to prove that the producer does not satisfy the conditions laid down for the recognition of such status.
FESI ja Puma vaidlustasid komisjoni hinnangu Hiina tarnijate turumajandusliku kohtlemise taotluste osas ja väitsid, et keeldumise peamiseks aluseks oli täieliku ülevaate puudumine.
On the contrary, it is for the Commission to assess whether the evidence supplied by the producer concerned is sufficient to show that the criteria laid down in the first subparagraph of Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation are fulfilled in order to grant it MET/IT (see above recital 31).
Kriteeriumi 1 osas väitsid isikud, et komisjon ei teinud pingutusi puuduvate andmete hankimiseks ega täpsustanud, millised andmed oleksid vajalikud selleks, et tõendada märkimisväärse riikliku sekkumise puudumist asjaomaste eksportivate tootjate äriotsuste puhul.
The right to be heard concerns the assessment of those facts, but does not comprise the right to remedy deficient information.
Kriteeriumi 3 osas väitsid isikud, viidates Euroopa Kohtu otsusele kohtuasjas T-586/14: Xinyi OV vs. komisjon, et maksusoodustused või soodustusi andvad maksurežiimid ei ole märgiks turu moonutamisest või mitte-turumajanduslikust käitumisest.
Otherwise, the exporting producer could prolong indefinitely the assessment, by providing information piece by piece.
Sellel alusel väitsid isikud, et komisjon tegi alusmääruse artikli 2 lõike 7 punkti c kohaldamisel ilmse vea ja ei ole esitanud piisavaid põhjendusi eksportivate tootjate turumajandusliku kohtlemise taotluste tagasilükkamiseks.
In that regard, it is recalled that there is no obligation, for the Commission, to request the exporting producer to complement the MET/IT claim.
Kriteeriumiga 1 seotud puuduvate andmete osas viidatakse põhjendusele 135, milles on märgitud, et alusmääruses puuduvad sätted, mis kohustaksid komisjoni andma turumajandusliku kohtlemise taotluse esitanud eksportivatele äriühingutele võimaluse täiendada puuduvaid andmeid ning ühtlasi on tõendamiskohustus hoopis turumajandusliku kohtlemise taotluse esitanud eksportival tootjal.
As mentioned in the preceding recital, the Commission may base their assessment on the information submitted by the exporting producer.
Kriteeriumi 3 osas täpsustatakse, et turumajandusliku kohtlemise taotluse tagasilükkamisel ei kaalutud (võimalikke) maksusoodustusi või soodustusi andvaid maksurežiime.
In any event, the exporting producers concerned have not contested the assessment of their MET/IT claims by the Commission, and they have not identified which documents or which people they have no longer been able to rely upon.
Individuaalse kohtlemise hindamine
The allegation is therefore so abstract that the Institutions cannot take into account those difficulties when carrying out the assessment of the MET/IT claims.
Samad isikud väitsid kriteeriumile 2 viidates, et komisjon ei näidanud eksportmüügi vaba määramise puudumist ning et komisjoni ülesanne on näidata, kuidas ja missuguses ulatuses on riiklik sekkumine ekspordihindu mõjutanud.
As that argument is based on speculation and not supported by precise indications as to which documents and which people are no longer available and as to what the relevance of those documents and people for the assessment of the MET/IT claim is, that argument has to be rebutted.
Lisaks väideti, et eksportmüügi vaba määramise puudumise hinnang on vastuolus esialgse uurimise leidudega algseadmete müügi osas, mille puhul tehti kindlaks, et Puma sarnased importijad teostasid Hiina tarnijatelt ostes iseseisvat uurimis- ja arendustegevust ja hankisid ise toormaterjali.
Regarding the de facto application of Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation, this does not automatically also require the application of Article 18(4) of the basic Regulation.
Seetõttu väideti, et Puma ja Timberland omasid tootmisprotsessi ja tehnilise kirjelduse üle märkimisväärset mõju ning riiklik sekkumine ei olnud võimalik.
This is only required in cases where the Commission were to reject information that had been provided by the interested party.
Nagu põhjenduses 42 nimetatud, lasub tõendamiskohustus individuaalset kohtlemist taotleval tootjal.
In the current case, the Commission accepted the information provided by the exporting producers concerned and based its assessment on this information.
Nagu põhjenduses 47 selgitatud, ei tõendanud eksportivad tootjad, et äriotsused langetati riikliku sekkumiseta.
That is not use of facts available.
Lisaks märgitakse, et kriteerium 2 ei viita üksnes ekspordihindadele, vaid eksportmüügile üldiselt, sealhulgas ekspordihindadele, kogustele ja muudele müügitingimustele, mis peavad olema määratud riikliku sekkumiseta.
Rather, the Commission has not rejected any information.
Selleks et toetada ekspordihindade vaba määramist käsitlevat väidet, viitavad mõjutatud isikud komisjoni määruse (EÜ) nr 553/2006 (ajutine määrus) põhjendusele 269.
Union interest
See põhjendus käsitles aga liidu importijate edasimüügihindu ja ei saa olla nõuetekohaseks aluseks eksportivate tootjate ekspordihindade usaldusväärsuse hindamisel.
One importer claimed that the Commission failed to examine whether the imposition of the anti-dumping duties would be in the Union interest and argued that the measures would be against the Union interest because (i) the measures already had their intended effect when first imposed; (ii) the measures would not cause additional benefit for the Union industry; (iii) the measures would not affect the exporting producers and (iv) the measures would impose an important cost on the importers in the Union.
Viitamine ajutise määruse põhjendusele 132 ja määruse (EÜ) nr 1472/2006 (vaidlustatud määrus) põhjendusele 135 on samuti kohatu, sest käsitletakse normaalväärtuste korrigeerimist ekspordihinnaga võrreldes ning selle alusel ei ole võimalik teha järeldusi Hiina äriühingute ekspordimüügi vaba määramise kohta.
The present case only concerns the MET/IT requests, because this is the only point on which a legal error has been identified by the Union Courts.
Lisaks sellele väitsid eespool nimetatud isikud, et komisjon ei selgitanud, kuidas jõuti järelduseni, mille kohaselt esineb võimalus dumpinguvastastest meetmetest kõrvalehoidmiseks juhul, kui eksportivatele tootjatele võimaldatakse individuaalset tollimaksu, mis oleks individuaalse kohtlemise kriteeriumi põhieesmärk.
For Union interest, the assessment in the initial regulation remains fully valid.
Kõrvalehoidmise riski osas on tegemist vaid ühega viiest alusmääruse artikli 9 lõikes 5 toodud kriteeriumist enne kõnealuse määruse muutmist.
Furthermore, the present measure is justified in order to protect the financial interest of the Union.
Vastavalt kõnealusele artiklile tuleb eksportival tootjal täita kõik viis kriteeriumi.
Manifest errors in the assessment of MET/IT requests
Seetõttu piisab individuaalse kohtlemise taotluse tagasilükkamiseks vaid ühe kriteeriumi täitmata jätmisest ka juhul, kui ülejäänud kriteeriumid on täidetud.
MET assessment
Timberlandi tarnija
FESI and Puma contested the assessment of the Commission with regard to the MET requests of their Chinese suppliers and alleged that they were mainly rejected based on the absence of complete information.
FESI vaidlustas põhjenduses 19 toodud väited, mille kohaselt üks Timberlandi tarnijatest, General Shoes Limited, oli taotluses valesti tuvastatud kui Hiina tarnija, kuigi äriühing oli asutatud Vietnamis.
Regarding criterion 1, these parties argued that the Commission, apart from making no effort to obtain the missing information did also not specify which information would have been necessary to show that there was no significant State interference in the business decisions of the exporting producers concerned.
FESI väitis, et komisjon oleks pidanud otsima täpsustavat teavet ja eeldas, et äriühing on lihtsalt tuvastatav kui Hiina äriühing.
Regarding criterion 3, referring the judgment of the Court of Justice in case T-586/14 Xinyi OV v Commission, these parties argued that tax incentives or preferential tax regimes were not indicative for any distortion or non-market economy behaviour.
Väideti, et kuigi kõnealune äriühing kasutas valimi vormis ja esialgse uurimise käigus esitatud turumajandusliku kohtlemise taotluses erinevat nime (st General Footwear Ltd), oli Timberlandi varasema, riiklikus kohtus menetletud taotluse puhul nime erinevuse (st General Shoes Ltd) põhjuseks kõige tõenäolisemalt tõlkeviga.
On this basis, the parties argued that the Commission made a manifest error in the application of Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation and has also not provided adequate reasons for the rejection of the exporting producers' MET requests.
Seetõttu oleks pidanud hinnatama ka Hiina äriühingu General Footwear Ltd turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotlust.
With regard to the missing information concerning criterion 1, reference is made to (135) which outlines that there is nothing in the basic Regulation that requires the Commission to give exporting companies claiming MET the possibility to complete lacking factual information and that the burden of proof lies in fact with the exporting producer who wishes to claim MET.
General Footwear Ltd moodustab osa Hiina ja Vietnamiga seotud äriühingute grupist.
Concerning criterion 3, it is clarified that no tax incentives or preferential tax regimes (if any) were considered as a reason to reject the MET.
Esialgse uurimise raames esitasid turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotluse nii Vietnami tootja, kui ka üks HRV tootja.
IT assessment
Hiina äriühingu turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotluses oli äriühingu nimeks läbivalt märgitud „General Footwear Ltd“, mis kasutas ka Hiina aadressi.
The same above parties argued, referring to criterion 2, that the Commission did not show that export sales were not freely determined and that it was up to the Commission to determine whether and how export prices were affected due to State interference.
Vietnamis asuva tootja nimeks oli märgitud „General Shoes Ltd“.
Moreover, it was argued that the finding that export sales were not freely determined contradicts the findings of the original investigation related to OEM sales made where it was established that importers such as Puma were conducting its own R & D and raw material sourcing when buying from the Chinese suppliers.
Samas ei ole asjakohases turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotluses selge, kas tegemist on Hiina või Vietnami äriühinguga.
On this basis, it was claimed that Puma and Timberland had significant control over the production process and specifications and that there was therefore no possibility of State interference.
Seetõttu ei olnud alust eeldada, et riikliku kohtu menetletud failis nimetatud äriühingu näol oli tegemist Vietnami äriühinguga.
As already mentioned in recital 42 above the burden of proof lies with the producer wishing to claim IT.
Komisjoni kavatsuseks on endiselt hinnata ka äriühingu „General Footwear Ltd“ (Hiina) turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotlust.
As also explained above in recital 47 the exporting producers failed to demonstrate that business decisions were made without State interference.
Hea juhtimistava vaimus ja edasise rakendamise tarbetu viivitamise vältimiseks viiakse see hindamine aga läbi eraldi õigusaktiga.
It is also noted that criterion 2 is not referring solely to export prices, but in general to export sales including export prices and quantities and other conditions and terms of sales that should be determined freely without State interference.
Hüvitistaotlustega seotud väide
In support of their argument that export prices were freely determined the interested parties concerned referred to recital 269 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 553/2006 (provisional Regulation).
Üks importija kinnitas, et ükski praeguse rakendamisega seotud eksportiv tootja ei ole selle importija tarnija ja seetõttu eeldas, et järeldused ei puuduta selle äriühingu olukorda.
However, this recital addressed the resale prices of the importers in the Union and cannot therefore be considered as an appropriate basis to establish the reliability of the export prices by the exporting producers.
Sama isik väitis, et praegust rakendamist käsitlevad järeldused ei saa seetõttu olla aluseks selle äriühingu poolt riiklikele tolliasutustele esitatud hüvitamistaotlustest keeldumisele.
Likewise, the reference to recitals 132 of the provisional Regulation and recital 135 of Regulation (EC) No 1472/2006 (contested Regulation) refers to adjustments made to the normal value when comparing it to the export price and does not allow any conclusions as to whether export sales of the Chinese companies were freely determined.
Importija taotles täiendavalt, et tema tarnijate turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotluseid uuritaks vastavalt asjakohastele dokumentidele, mille komisjonile edastas Belgia toll.
Furthermore, these parties claimed that the Commission has also not explained how it arrived to the conclusion that there would be a risk of circumvention of the antidumping measure if the exporting producers concerned were granted an individual duty rate that would, however be the underlying purpose of the IT criteria.
Seoses eespool toodud väitega vaata komisjoni rakendusmäärus (EL) 2016/223 (millega määratakse kindlaks menetlus Hiina ja Vietnami tootjate teatavate turumajandusliku ja individuaalse kohtlemise taotluste hindamiseks ning täidetakse Euroopa Kohtu otsust liidetud kohtuasjades C-659/13 ja C-34/14), milles on kindlaks määratud sellisel juhul kohaldatav menetlus.
Regarding the risk of circumvention, this is only one criterion out of five listed in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation before its amendment.
Konkreetsel juhul ja vastavalt nimetatud määruse artiklitele 1 ja 2, vaatab komisjon asjakohased turumajandusliku/individuaalse kohtlemise taotlused läbi kohe, kui on saanud tollilt asjakohased dokumendid.
According to this Article all five criteria should be shown to be met by the exporting producer.
D. JÄRELDUSED
Therefore, failure to meet one or more criteria is sufficient to deny the IT claim without examining whether the other criteria were met.
Esitatud märkusi ja nende analüüsi arvesse võttes jõuti järeldusele, et dumpinguvastane jääktollimaks, mida kohaldati HRVst pärit impordi suhtes kolmeteistkümne asjaomase eksportiva tootja osas vaidlustatud määruse kohaldamise perioodil, tuleks uuesti kehtestada.
Supplier of Timberland
E. JÄRELDUSTE TEATAVAKSTEGEMINE
FESI contested the statement in recital 19 above according to which one of Timberland suppliers, General Shoes Limited, was wrongly identified as a Chinese supplier in the application before the national Court whereas the company was established in Vietnam.
Asjaomaseid eksportivaid tootjaid ja kõiki isikuid, kes andsid endast märku, teavitati olulistest faktidest ja kaalutlustest, mille alusel tehti otsus soovitada uuesti kehtestada kolmeteistkümne asjaomase eksportiva tootja impordi suhtes lõplik dumpinguvastane tollimaks.
FESI argued that the Commission should have sought further clarification and alleged that the company was easily identifiable as a Chinese company.
Neile anti pärast kõnealust teavitamist võimalus esitada teatava ajavahemiku jooksul oma märkused.
It argued that while it was true that the company appeared with a different name in the sampling form and MET claim provided in the original investigation (i.e. as General Footwear Ltd) the different company name in Timberland's application before the national Court (i.e. General Shoes Ltd) would be most likely merely due to a translation error.
Määruse (EL) 2016/1036 artikli 15 lõike 1 kohaselt asutatud komitee ei ole arvamust esitanud,
Therefore the MET/IT request of the Chinese company General Footwear Ltd should also have been assessed.
ON VASTU VÕTNUD KÄESOLEVA MÄÄRUSE:
General Footwear Ltd is part of a company group with related companies in China and Vietnam.
Artikkel 1
Both, a producer in Vietnam and another one in China provided MET/IT claims in the original investigation.
Käesolevaga kehtestatakse lõplik dumpinguvastane tollimaks Hiina Rahvavabariigist pärit ning II lisas loetletud äriühingute toodetud nahast või komposiitnahast pealsetega jalatsite impordi suhtes (välja arvatud spordijalatsid, jalatsid, mille valmistamisel kasutatakse eritehnoloogiat, tuhvlid ja muud toajalatsid ning varbakaitsega jalatsid), mis liigitatakse järgmiste CN-koodide alla: 64032000, ex64033000, ex64035111, ex64035115, ex64035119, ex64035191, ex64035195, ex64035199, ex64035911, ex64035931, ex64035935, ex64035939, ex64035991, ex64035995, ex64035999, ex64039111, ex64039113, ex64039116, ex64039118, ex64039191, ex64039193, ex64039196, ex64039198, ex64039911, ex64039931, ex64039933, ex64039936, ex64039938, ex64039991, ex64039993, ex64039996, ex64039998 ja ex64051000, kui import toimus ajavahemikul, mil kohaldati nõukogu määrust (EÜ) nr 1472/2006 ja nõukogu määrust (EL) nr 1294/2009.
In the MET/IT claim of the Chinese company, its name is consistently reported as ‘General Footwear Ltd’ with an address in China.
TARICi koodid on loetletud käesoleva määruse I lisas.
The producer in Vietnam is reported as ‘General Shoes Ltd’.
Käesolevas määruses kasutatakse järgmisi mõisteid: — „spordijalatsid“
It was therefore not unreasonable to assume that the company mentioned in the file before the national Court was in fact Vietnamese.
jalatsid, millel on kaitsev varbaosa, mille löögikindlus on vähemalt 100 džauli ning mis liigitatakse järgmiste CN-koodide alla: ex64033000, ex64035111, ex64035115, ex64035119, ex64035191, ex64035195, ex64035199, ex64035911, ex64035931, ex64035935, ex64035939, ex64035991, ex64035995, ex64035999, ex64039111, ex64039113, ex64039116, ex64039118, ex64039191, ex64039193, ex64039196, ex64039198, ex64039911, ex64039931, ex64039933, ex64039936, ex64039938, ex64039991, ex64039993, ex64039996, ex64039998 ja ex64051000; —
In any event, it is the Commission's intention to still assess the MET/IT claim of ‘General Footwear Ltd’ (China).
„tuhvlid ja muud toajalatsid“ jalatsid, mis liigitatakse CN-koodi ex64051000 alla.
In the spirit of sound administration and in order not to delay unnecessarily the ongoing implementation exercise, this assessment will, however, be subject to separate legal act.
Lõpliku dumpinguvastase tollimaksu määr, mida kohaldatakse käesoleva määruse II lisas loetletud eksportivate tootjate toodetud ning lõikes 1 kirjeldatud toodete vaba netohinna suhtes liidu piiril enne tollimaksu sissenõudmist, on 16,5 %.
Argument linked to reimbursement claims
Artikkel 2
One importer acknowledged that none of the exporting producers concerned by the current implementation was its supplier and therefore considered that the conclusions were not relevant to its situation.
Artikkel 3
This party argued that the conclusions of the current implementation cannot therefore constitute a basis for denying its reimbursement requests filed at the national customs.
Käesolev määrus jõustub järgmisel päeval pärast selle avaldamist Euroopa Liidu Teatajas.
The importer further requested that the MET/IT claims of its suppliers should be investigated on the basis of the documents provided by the relevant Belgian customs authorities to the Commission.
Käesolev määrus on tervikuna siduv ja vahetult kohaldatav kõikides liikmesriikides.
With regard to the above claim, the Commission refers to the Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/223 establishing a procedure for assessing certain market economy treatment and individual treatment claims made by exporting producers from China and Vietnam, and implementing the judgment of the Court of Justice in joined cases C-659/13 and C-34/14 which sets out the procedure to be followed in this matter.
Brüssel, 18. august 2016
In particular, in accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of that Regulation, the Commission will examine the relevant MET/IT claims as soon as it has received the relevant documentation from the customs authorities.
Komisjoni nimel
D. CONCLUSIONS
president
Account taken of the comments made and the analysis thereof it was concluded that the residual anti-dumping duty applicable to the PRC in respect of the 13 exporting producers concerned for the period of application of the contested Regulation should be reimposed.
