Indeed, given the price interconnection between the tiers, even the best-performing tier 1 was suffering from the reverse-cascading price pressure across the three tiers explained in the previous chapter.
Komisjon järeldas seega, et HRVst pärit subsideeritud impordi järsul kasvul oli liidu tootmisharu kannatatud olulise kahju puhul määrav roll.
This resulted in industrial depletion, loss of value throughout the supply chain of all three tiers, and degradation of the quality of the tyres available on the Union market.
Mitu huvitatud isikud väitis, et komisjon ei tõendanud, kuidas Hiina rehvide impordi maht ja hinnatase on liidu tootmisharu kas eraldi või koos oluliselt mõjutanud.
Moreover, the intense price competition in all three tiers has negative consequences for the capacity utilisation and leads to rising stocks of the industry, coupled with less cash flow and investments.
Nad väitsid, et kuigi Hiina eksportijatelt pärit import liitu suurenes vaatlusalusel perioodil 1124101 tüki võrra, suurenes liidus ka tarbimine 1341615 tüki võrra.
Finally, the loss of the retreading industry in the Union also affects the profitability that the companies active in tier 1 and 2 can achieve.
Seega ei saanud Hiina konkureerivate hindadega import iseenesest liidu tootmisharu müüki turul kahjustada.
In addition, the complainants alleged that there was a risk of further aggravation of injury.
Lisaks sellele ei tähenda asjaolu, et mõned liidu tootjad pidid ühest turusegmendist lahkuma ja et hinnakujundus liidu turul muutus, tingimata seda, et Hiina import on vastutav liidu tootmisharule olulise kahju tekitamise eest.
In their view, numerous measures have been imposed in other import export markets which could cause immediate trade diversion.
Asjaolu, et Hiina eksportijate hinnad olid madalamad kui liidu tootmisharu hinnad ja et liidu tootjad ei suutnud suurenenud tarbimist katta ning et nad pidid oma hindu alandama, et need oleksid konkurentsivõimelisemad, ei ole piisav tõendamaks, et Hiina import on liidu tootmisharu kantud kahju eest vastutav.
Moreover, the Union producers are said to be under threat on their export markets, as some countries such as Turkey had initiated a safeguard investigation.
Komisjon kordas, et Hiina subsideeritud hinnad lõid uurimisperioodil liidu tootmisharu hindu märgatavalt alla kõikides segmentides.
The risk of aggravation would also be linked to massive overcapacities in the PRC, where unused capacities represent about 40 % of current Chinese exports.
Need olid kogu vaatlusalusel perioodil keskmiselt märkimisväärselt madalamad.
The complainants further feared a structural impact on the EU market of tyres as the additional cost to purchase a high-quality tyre would become less and less possible to justify when the option of multiple retreading of a high-quality tyre disappears together with the retreading industry.
Lisaks ei ole toorainehindade muutusega selgitatav asjaolu, et impordihinnad püsisid aastatel 2014 ja 2015 stabiilsena, langesid 2016. aastal ja püsisid uurimisperioodil samal madalal tasemel (vt põhjendus 650).
Finally, they foresee a continuous improvement of tyres from the PRC.
Toorainehinnad langesid vaatlusaluse perioodi alguses, kuid tõusid uurimisperioodil.
If higher-quality tyres from the PRC were allowed to compete with Union tyres at subsidized prices, this would reduce the Union tyre industry margins and hence its capacity to invest and innovate.
Sellest hoolimata ei tõstnud Hiina eksportivad tootjad oma hindu.
This, in turn, would likely force the Union industry to rely on lower quality tyres requiring limited investment in R & D, further affecting their retreadability.
See näitas, et nad soovivad oma turuosa liidu tootmisharu kahjuks veelgi suurendada ja see neil ka õnnestus.
The Giti Group claimed that the improved performance of retreaders may have much to do with increasing raw materials costs rather than the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures.
Üks eksportiv tootja väitis, et Hiina impordi ja liidu tootmisharule tekitatud kahju vahel ei ole põhjuslikku seost, sest Hiina eksport toimub peamiselt 3. turusegmendis, samal ajal kui enamik liidu tootjaid valmistab 1. ja 2. segmendi tooteid.
The Commission did not see evidence linking the evolution of the raw material costs with the increase of the commercial orders reported by the retreaders.
See väide on faktiliselt väär.
With respect to the profitability of the Union industry, the Commission acknowledged the critical comments received from the China National Tire Group that tier 3 is loss-making in the investigation period (– 0,7 %) while the profitability of tiers 1 and 2 are in the double digits.
ja 2. segmendi tooted moodustavad umbes 32 % Hiinast pärit koguimpordist.
However, the Commission did not share the conclusion that this indicator, showing a difference in profitability depending on the tiers, could negate a finding of material injury for the Union industry as a whole.
Pealegi, nagu on selgitatud punktis 4.3 uute ja protekteeritud rehvide ning eri segmentide omavaheliste seoste kohta, on eri segmentide vahel tihe seos ning koos moodustavad need ühe toote.
All relevant indicators show that the Union industry has suffered material injury in tier 3.
Odavate Hiina 3. segmendi rehvide hinna- ja mahusurve mõjutab ka teiste segmentide hindasid ja mõjutab seega kogu liidu tööstusharu.
In addition to the negative profit margin, there were a significant decrease in employment, in particular for the retreading business.
Samad eksportivad tootjad väitsid veel, et kahjuanalüüs ja seega ka põhjusliku seose analüüs tuleks teha, võttes arvesse, et 3. segmendi rehvid olid odavamad, sest nende kasutusiga on märkimisväärselt lühem kui 1. ja 2. segmendi rehvide kasutusiga.
The level of undercutting of 31 % is significant in tier 3, where the volume effect of Chinese competition is also felt the most.
Turuosa tuleks hinnata, võrreldes turuosa selle väärtuse, mitte koguse aspektist.
As shown in Table 18, there is a noticeable and constant (year after year) shift of new tyre sales by Union producers towards tier 3.
Kui seda arvesse võtta, on liidu tootmisharu turuosa vähenemine ja Hiina eksportivate tootjate turuosa suurenemine palju vähem märgatav.
In 2016, Union sales shown in Table 18 stood at 5 million tyres in tier 3.
Komisjon tunnistas, et rehvide kasutusiga on analüüsi oluline aspekt, mis näitab segmentidevahelist seost.
That development continued in 2017.
Ta ei olnud aga nõus, et see aspekt kaotab kindlakstehtud põhjusliku seose.
The forecast for 2018 shows an even higher increase in that shift of sales to tier 3 thus clearly demonstrating the price pressure that Union producers in tiers 1 and 2 find themselves under.
Isegi kui Hiina rehvide turuosa liidus on väärtuse poolest „lühema kasutusea“ tõttu väiksem kui „tükiarvestuses“, ei muuda see tõsiasja, et põhjus, miks liidu tootmisharu on surve alla sattunud ja olulist kahju kandnud, on just nimelt tarbijate üha suurenev huvi osta Hiina „odava hinna ja väikese läbisõiduga“ rehve.
In that regard, as laid down in section 4.3, the Commission maintained that there is a strong interconnection between tiers with a reverse-cascading effect.
Seega leiab komisjon, et Hiinast pärit impordi turuosa suurenemine, kas väärtuse või mahu põhjal, kinnitab järeldust põhjusliku seose kohta.
Contrary to the comments from many interested parties, there is only one market for tyres from the Union producers' point of view, who divide it into three tiers mainly for reasons of marketing strategy and differences in quality.
Üks huvitatud isik väitis, et Hiinast pärit impordi hinna languse põhjustas väiksemate rehvide kasvavast nõudlusest tingitud tootevaliku muutus.
This means that Union producers take into account the developments in all three tiers.
Selle väite kinnituseks ei esitatud ühtki tõendit.
Hence, the price and volume pressure in tier 3 has a direct impact on the other two tiers as well, as is set out in recital (798) et seq.
Igal juhul, isegi kui suurus oleks mõjutanud keskmiste hindade arengut, lõi Hiina import liidu tootmisharu hindu alla ka samade suuruste puhul, sest võrdlus tehakse alati tooteliigi kaupa.
Moreover, consumers of tyres chose between tyres from all three tiers.
Seetõttu lükkas komisjon selle väite tagasi.
They balance their willingness to pay a higher price with the expected lifetime of the tyres and the associated costs.
Muud tegurid, mida uuriti põhjuslikkuse analüüsil kooskõlas alusmääruse artikli 8 lõikega 7, olid: import teistest riikidest, liidu tootmisharu eksporditulemused ja liidu tootmisharu kulude areng.
Accordingly, the behaviour of producers and consumers confirms that there is a strong interconnection between the tiers.
Import kolmandatest riikidest
It follows that the observed shift towards tier 3 tyres exercises an ongoing pressure on the other two tiers as well.
Impordimahud muudest kolmandatest riikidest muutusid vaatlusalusel perioodil järgmiselt.
In that respect, the Commission further noted that the subsidized imports concern mainly tier 3.
Tabel 23
In view of the interconnection between tiers and the growing importance of tier 3, the Commission considered that the negative trends already observed for the Union industry as a whole can only but continue in the near future.
Allikas: Eurostat
The risk of further aggravation of injury is also evidenced by the 13th Five Year Plan for the Development of the Chemical and the Petrochemical industry in China, which aims at technological innovation, structural adjustment and green development.
Riik
This plan applies to the tyres industry and the Commission has found an important number of subsidies.
Türgi
They underpin that Chinese exporting producers have the structural advantage to climb up the value chain with continued access to cheap financing.
Türgist pärit impordi maht
If higher-quality tyres from the PRC were competing more and more with Union tyres at subsidized prices, this would reduce the Union tyre industry margins and hence its capacity to invest and innovate.
Indeks (2014 = 100)
This, in turn, would likely force the Union industry to rely on lower quality tyres requiring limited investment in R & D, further affecting their retreadability, and so causing injury to all three tiers.
Türgist pärit impordi ühikuhinnad
Because of the injurious situation in tier 3 and the presently-felt reverse-cascading effect on tiers 2 and 1, the Commission maintained its conclusion that the industry as a whole suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation.
Osa liidu impordi kogumahus
Therefore, the Commission concluded that the Union industry as a whole was under intense pressure.
Lõuna-Korea
There was a reduction of production capacity, investment and employment over the period considered and a remarkable loss of market share despite the ongoing decrease in sales prices.
Lõuna-Koreast pärit impordi maht
Chinese imports were substantially undercutting Union industry prices.
Koreast pärit impordi ühikuhinnad
Profitability of the Union industry as a whole also declined, and even faster toward the end of the period considered.
Jaapan
In addition, stocks of all types of tyres increased, in particular during the investigation period, negatively impacting the financial situation of the Union industry.
Jaapanist pärit impordi maht
Many SMEs retreaders stopped production and could not benefit from the economic recovery.
Jaapanist pärit impordi ühikuhinnad
The Commission also attached importance to the submissions of AIRP, Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerk (respectively the Italian and German retreaders association) or Banden Plan Europa B.V.
Venemaa
(Union retreader) or Vipal Europe (tread supplier) noting that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures has already triggered a positive momentum in the sector.
Venemaalt pärit impordi maht
In particular, retreaders in several Union Member States have seen increased orders since May 2018 and believe this optimistic outlook would continue should the provisional anti-dumping measures become definitive.

CAUSATION
Tai
In accordance with Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the subsidized imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.
Taist pärit impordi maht
In accordance with Article 8(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Taist pärit impordi ühikuhinnad
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the subsidized imports from the country concerned was not attributed to the subsidized imports.
Muud kolmandad riigid
Those factors are: imports from other third countries, export sales performance of the Union producers and costs evolution.
Kõigist muudest riikidest pärit impordi maht
Effects of the subsidized imports
Kõigist muudest riikidest pärit impordi ühikuhinnad
Prices of subsidized imports from the PRC significantly undercut Union industry prices during the investigation period with undercutting margins of 21 % leading to decreasing market share and profitability for the Union industry (respectively from 72,4 % to 67,1 % and from 15,4 % in 2014 to 13,7 % during the period considered).
Kolmandad riigid kokku, välja arvatud HRV
In effect, during the period considered the Union industry sales volume slightly decreased whilst the import volume from the PRC rose by 32 % and thus seizing the bulk of the increase in Union consumption.
Kolmandatest riikides pärit impordi turuosa suurenes vaatlusalusel perioodil veidi ehk 10,8 %-lt 11,9 %-ni.
Overall, during the period considered, the Union industry's loss of market share (– 5,3 percentage points) was taken by the Chinese imports (+ 4,2 percentage points).
Muude kolmandate riikide koguimpordist olid üksnes Venemaa impordi keskmised hinnad Hiina impordihindadega sarnased.
The analysis of the injury indicators in recitals (686) to (784) shows that the economic situation of the Union industry, and in particular its financial situation, has worsened and this coincides with the arrival of large volumes of subsidized imports from the PRC.
Vaatlusaluse toote impordi keskmised hinnad olid selgelt kõrgemad kui Hiina impordi keskmised hinnad.
The prices of these imports undercut those of the Union industry and have exerted a significant downward pressure on prices in the Union market.
Vaatlusaluse toote Venemaalt pärit impordi turuosa suurenes vaatlusalusel perioodil 0,9 %-lt 1,3 %-le.
Indeed, it is the steep increase of imports and the substantial price undercutting found that are the chief factors to be considered in this case.
Samas ei nõrgendanud Venemaa impordi piiratud kogused põhjuslikku seost subsideeritud impordi ja liidu tootmisharu kannatatud kahju vahel.
Chinese exporters managed to increase significantly its market share at the expense of the Union industry.
Seepärast järeldas komisjon esialgu, et isegi kui muudest kolmandatest riikidest pärit import võis avaldada teatavat piiratud mõju liidu tootmisharu olukorrale, oli peamine kahju põhjustaja HRVst pärit subsideeritud import.
During the investigation period, the majority of the total volume of subsidized Chinese imports concentrates on tier 3, forcing several of Union producers in that tier, in particular SME retreaders, to exit the market.
Mitu huvitatud isikut väitis, et komisjon peaks esitama lisaanalüüsi mõju kohta, mida avaldab Venemaalt pärit import, mille hinnatase on sama mis Hiina impordil.
In addition, the Commission established that such high volumes at subsidized prices have affected the price setting.
Komisjon leidis, et imporditud mahud erinevad märkimisväärselt.
Previously, the price setting was driven by tier 1, i.e. tier 2 prices were established in relation to tier 1 and tier 3 in relation to tier 2.
Kui Hiinast pärit import suurenes 3,5 miljonilt rehvilt 2014. aastal 4,6 miljoni rehvini (nimelt 1100000 ühiku võrra) uurimisperioodil, suurenes Venemaalt pärit import samal perioodil 0,2 miljonilt rehvilt 0,3 miljoni rehvile (nimelt kõigest 100000 ühiku võrra).
Now this was reversed: tier 2 price is established on the basis of tier 3 and tier 1 on the basis of tier 2.
Arvestades Venemaalt pärit sarnase hinnaga väikesi koguseid (ainult 6 % HRVst pärit impordi kogumahust ja nende turuosa liidu turul on kõigest 1,3 %), ei nõrgenda see import põhjuslikku seost Hiina impordi ja liidu tootmisharu kantud kahju vahel.
This resulted in a decrease of selling prices in all tiers.
Teised huvitatud isikud väitsid, et muudest riikides, nagu Jaapanist, Koreast ja Türgist pärit impordi mahud olid märkimisväärsed ja hind oli madalam kui liidu tootmisharu hind.
The Commission thus concluded that the surge of subsidized imports from the PRC had a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Väidetavalt kõrvaldasid need oma hinna ja koguse tõttu põhjusliku seose Hiina impordi ja liidu tootmisharu kannatatud kahju vahel.
Several interested parties claimed that the Commission did not demonstrate how the volume and price levels of the imports of Chinese tyres have materially affected the Union industry, either individually or jointly.
Komisjon täheldas, et Jaapanist, Lõuna-Koreast ja Türgist pärit impordi hinnad olid Hiinast pärit impordi hindadest tublisti kõrgemad.
They claimed that although imports from Chinese exporters into the Union increased by 1124101 items during the period considered, the consumption in the Union also increased by 1341615 items.
Pealegi on enamasti tegemist siirdehindadega seotud importijate jaoks.
Thus, the increase in Chinese imports at competitive prices could not by itself harm the Union industry's sales in the market.
Seetõttu ei saa neid impordihindu kasutada liidu tootmisharu hindadega võrdlemise alusena.
Further, the fact that some Union producers had to exit a segment of the market and that the price setting changed in the Union market does not necessarily mean that Chinese imports are responsible for causing material injury to the Union industry.
Kõigele lisaks müüdi Jaapani, Lõuna-Korea ja Türgi rehve hinnaga, mis vastab nende vastavale segmendile liidu turul.
The fact that Chinese exporters' prices were lower than those of the Union industry and that Union producers could not capture the consumption increase and had to reduce their prices to be more competitive is not sufficient to prove that Chinese imports are responsible for the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Seega ei oleks kõnealune import tohtinud liidu tootmisharu kahjustada.
The Commission reiterated that the Chinese subsidised prices significantly undercut the prices of the Union industry in all tiers during the investigation period.
Mis puudutab koguseid, püsisid nende turuosad stabiilsena (maht vähenes Lõuna-Korea puhul 50000 tüki võrra, jäi stabiilseks Jaapani puhul ja suurenes Türgi puhul 170000 tüki võrra) ning need esindasid ligikaudu poolt HRVst pärit impordi mahust.
They were on average significantly lower during the whole period considered.
Seepärast lükati see väide tagasi.
Moreover, the fact that import prices remained stable between 2014 and 2015, dropped in 2016 and remained at the same low level during the investigation period (see recital (650)) cannot be explained by the evolution in the raw material prices.
Liidu tootmisharu eksporditulemus
The latter decreased at the beginning of the period considered, but increased during the investigation period.
Liidu tootjate ekspordimaht muutus vaatlusalusel perioodil järgmiselt.
Nevertheless, the Chinese exporting producers did not revise their prices upwards.
Tabel 24
This showed that they wished to gain and indeed gained further market share to the detriment of the Union industry.
Liidu tootmisharu eksporditulemus
One exporting producer claimed that there is no causal link between the Chinese imports and the injury caused to the Union industry as the Chinese exports are predominantly present on tier 3 market while the majority of the Union producers sell tier 1 and 2 products.
Ekspordimaht (tükkides)
This statement is factually incorrect.
Keskmine hind (eurot/tükk)
Products falling under tier 1 and tier 2 represent around 32 % of the total Chinese imports.
Eurostati andmetel vähenes ekspordimaht vaatlusalusel perioodil 2,6 %.
Furthermore, as explained in section 4.3 regarding the interconnection between new and retreaded tyres and between the different tiers, there is a symbiotic relationship between the different tiers, together forming a single product.
Keskmisi ekspordihindasid mõjutavad väärtuse ülekanded seotud äriühingutele.
Price and volume pressure from cheap Chinese tyres in tier 3 also affects the price in the other tiers, thereby affecting the Union industry as a whole.
Puuduvad tõendid, et liidu eksporditegevus võis vähendada põhjuslikku seost subsideeritud impordi ja tuvastatud kahju vahel.
The same exporting producer also claimed that the injury analysis and thus the causation analysis should be performed taking into consideration that tier 3 tyres were lower priced since they have a significantly shorter lifespan than tier 1 and tier 2 tyres.
Teatavad huvitatud isikud väitsid, et liidu tootjad kannatasid kahju, sest nad eksportisid kahjumiga kogu vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul, mis mõjutas nende investeeringutasuvust ja investeerimisvõimet.
The evaluation of the market share should be made by comparing the market share in value and not in quantity.
Nagu on märgitud põhjenduses 862, mõjutavad keskmisi ekspordihindasid väärtuse ülekanded seotud äriühingutele.
If one takes this into account the decrease in the market share of the Union industry and the increase in the market share of the Chinese exporting producer are much less pronounced.
Lisaks arvutati põhjenduses 754 esitatud tootmiskulud valimisse kaasatud liidu tootjate müügi puhul sõltumatutele klientidele.
The Commission acknowledged that the life-span of tyres is an important aspect of the analysis, which demonstrates the interconnection between tiers.
See ei võimalda teha nende kahe andmekogumi võrdlemise alusel põhjendatud järeldusi.
However, it did not accept that this aspect would negate the finding of causality.
Pealegi näitasid mikronäitajad, et valimisse kaasatud liidu tootjate eksport leiti olevat kasumlik.
Even if, admittedly, the market share of Chinese tyres in the Union is lower in value due to ‘shorter lifespan’ than ‘per unit’, it does not change the fact that it is precisely because of the growing attractiveness for consumers to buy Chinese ‘low-price – low-mileage’ tyres that the Union industry has become under pressure and suffered material injury.
Komisjon kordas, et vaatlusalusel perioodil olid kogused stabiilsed.
Thus, the Commission considers that the increase in the market share of the imports from the PRC, either on value or on volume basis, confirm the finding on causality.
Peale selle on nende hindade puhul tegemist seotud poolte vaheliste siirdehindadega, mistõttu ei saa teha järeldusi asjaolust, et need hinnad olid vaatlusalusel perioodil langemas.
One interested party claimed that the decrease in price of Chinese imports is caused by a change in the product mix triggered by the growing demand for smaller tyres.
Seepärast lükati need väited tagasi.
There was, however, no evidence supporting that claim.
Seega kinnitab komisjon, et puuduvad tõendid, et liidu tööstusharu eksporditegevus võiks nõrgendada põhjuslikku seost subsideeritud impordi ja tuvastatud kahju vahel.
In any event, even if the size had could have had an impact on the evolution of the average prices, Chinese imports were undercutting the Union industry's prices also for the same sizes as the comparison is always made per product type.
Kulude areng
Therefore, the Commission rejected that claim.
Nagu on märgitud põhjenduses 755, vähenesid liidu tootmisharu kogukulud 12 eurot rehvi kohta vaatlusalusel perioodil tingituna peamiste toorainete (looduslik ja sünteetiline kautšuk) muutustest.
