This development must be viewed against the background of a drastic increase of tier 3 competition from exporting producers in the country concerned during the period 2014-2018, as well as financially unviable profit levels in tier 3 for Union producers of the product concerned.
Igal juhul märkis kõnealune pool, et muudest riikidest pärit 1. ja 2. segmendi rehvide impordi mahtude (ja impordihindade) uurimise puudumisel on võimatu kindlaks teha, kas komisjoni teooria on faktiliselt õige.
The Commission observed that this shift in Union replacement market has affected the Union producers who would have yielded far higher profit levels in tiers 1 and 2.
Selle väite kohta leidis komisjon, et Giti kontserni koostatud analüüs on puudulik, kuna selles leiti, et kogu import müüdi otse liidus asuvatele esimestele sõltumatutele klientidele.
The Commission considered that the fact that there might be closures of plants and workshops of retreaders does not necessarily mean that there are less possibilities to retread high-quality worn out tyres, as the demand for such high-quality tyres dropped after the economic crisis (recital (789)).
Seepärast lükkas komisjon huvitatud isikute väited tagasi ja kinnitas oma esialgsed järeldused.
The CRIA and the CCCMC requested the Commission to disclose the sales figures of tier 1 tyres and the actual capacity of retreading, to allow to assess to which extent the availability of retreading facilities really dropped taking into account the decreasing sales of tier 1 tyres.
Järeldus kahju kohta
The Giti Group noted that the Commission did not present data on market share by tier that would be necessary information to check whether the Commission's reverse-cascading theory is supported by facts.
Kokkuvõttes viitavad kahjunäitajad sellele, et liidu tootmisharu tervikuna on olnud suure surve all.
This theory was built on the assumption that cheap tier 3 imports put price pressure on and took market share away from Union producers in tier 2 (and tier 1).
Uurimisperioodi jooksul toimus langevatest müügihindadest hoolimata tootmisvõimsuse, investeeringute ja tööhõive vähenemine ning turuosa oluline kahanemine.
However, should market share data by tier show that tier 1 and/or tier 2 Union producers actually managed to maintain (or even increase) their market share, this would fatally undermine this theory.
Turuosa omandas segmenteerimisest olenemata vaatlusaluse toote import liidu tootmisharu arvelt, tuues kaasa üle 4200 töökoha kaotuse.
It is not clear to the Giti Group whether the Commission has opted not to disclose information on market share or whether this information has simply not been collected.
Ehkki kasumlikkus oli kogu tootmisharus endiselt ligikaudu 14 %, vähenes see alates 2014. aastast kuni uurimisperioodini 1,7 protsendipunkti ning alates 2015. aastast kuni uurimisperioodini 3,2 protsendipunkti.
In any event, the Giti Group urged the Commission to disclose (and if necessary collect) this information to check the correctness of the Commission's reverse-cascading theory.
Samuti tehti kindlaks, et Hiina import lõi liidu tootmisharu hinnad märkimisväärselt alla, ning selline olukord avaldas omakorda otsesest ja märkimisväärset mõjul liidu tootmisharu halvenevatele tulemustele ja vähenevale tootmisvõimsusele, tootmismahule, tööhõivele ja muude kahjunäitajatele.
Moreover, the Giti Group requested to have the macro-indicators analysed per tier.
Negatiivset arengut oli kõige rohkem tunda 3. segmendis, kus mitu VKEdest protekteerijat lahkusid turult ega suutnud saada kasu sektori majanduse elavnemisest, ning see kajastus lõppkokkuvõttes madala hinnaga impordis.
The Commission explained in recital (697), that it was appropriate to analyse the economic situation of the Union industry as a whole.
Tuletatakse meelde, et peamiselt 3. segmendis tegutsevad äriühingud annavad ligikaudu 20 % liidu kogutoodangust.
There was capacity, production and imports in all tiers.
Kahjumites 3. segment ei ole jätkusuutlik ning need kahjumid seavad ohtu kogu liidu protekteerimissektori püsimajäämise.
Tier 3, where most of Chinese imports take place, were dragging down the industry as a whole.
Peale selle mõjutas hinnasurve negatiivselt ka kõrgemate segmentide hindasid.
Chinese subsidised prices significantly undercut the prices of the Union industry in all tiers during the investigation period.
segmendi rehvide kasvav hinnasurve, mis tulenes madala hinnaga impordist, mis oli peamiselt seotud 3. segmendi rehvidega, on tekitanud sarnase arengu 2. segmendis, kus müügihinnad langesid vaatlusalusel perioodil 12 %, ning isegi 1. segmendi rehvide hindu tuli konkurentsivõime säilitamiseks 9 % alandada.
Over the period considered, the overall performance of the Union industry deteriorated.
Arvestades hindade omavahelist seost segmentide vahel, kandis ka kõige paremate tulemustega 1. segment kahju kasvava hinnalanguse surve tõttu kõigis kolmes segmendis, nagu on selgitatud eelmises peatükis.
Some plants that produced different tiers had to close and many retreaders had to stop production.
See tõi kaasa tootmisharu kurnatuse, väärtuse kahanemise kogu tarneahelas kõigis kolmes segmendis ja liidu turul pakutavate rehvide kvaliteedi vähenemise.
The Commission established that at least 85 SMEs stopped production, which reduced the retreading capacity, as explained in recital (791).
Peale selle avaldab pingeline hinnakonkurents kõigis kolmes segmendis negatiivset mõju tootmisvõimsuse rakendamisele ning toob kaasa laovarude suurenemise tootmisharus koos rahavoo ja investeeringute kahanemisega.
Therefore, the Commission rejected the claim.
Lisaks mõjutab protekteerimisvaldkonna kahjum liidus ka 1. ja 2. segmendis tegutsevate äriühingute võimalikku kasumlikkust.
The CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that the Commission's allegation that ‘Union producers of new tyres have no option but to strengthen their presence in tier 3, too’ (recital (791)) was difficult to understand, as the Commission itself explained that all integrated retreaders (thus, producers of new tyres who also do retreading) would be part of tier 2 (recital (90)).
Lisaks väitsid kaebuse esitajad, et on risk kahju edasiseks süvenemiseks.
The parties reiterated a similar claim after the final disclosure.
Nende arvates on teistel impordi- ja eksporditurgudel kehtestatud mitmeid meetmeid, mis võivad kaubavahetuses häireid põhjustada.
The Commission noted that in the Note with the mapping of new and retreaded tyres by brand, there were brands of Union producers of new tyres classified in tier 3.
Peale selle on liidu tootjad on oma eksporditurgudel väidetavalt ohus, sest mõned riigid, nagu Türgi, on algatanud kaitsemeetmete uurimise.
The Commission stated that ‘information available to the Commission showed’ that the pricing trend changed and that now allegedly tier 3 prices inversely affect tier 1 prices (recital (795)).
Risk olukorra halvenemiseks võib olla seotud ka väga suure ülemäärase tootmisvõimsusega HRVs, kus kasutamata tootmisvõimsus moodustab ligikaudu 40 % Hiina praegusest ekspordist.
The CRIA and the CCCMC requested that this information was made available to interested parties.
Veel kartsid kaebuse esitajad struktuurset mõju ELi rehviturule, sest lisakulusid kvaliteetsete rehvide ostmiseks oleks aina keerulisem põhjendada, kui kvaliteetse rehvi mitmekordse protekteerimise võimalus kaoks koos protekteerimissektoriga.
The Commission considered that the interconnection between tiers also encompassed a rationale of price setting across tiers.
Lisaks prognoosivad nad HRVst pärit rehvide pidevat täiustumist.
In fact, Union new tyre manufacturers following a multi-brand strategy indicated that a price change on one tier necessarily triggered an adjustment of the price on the overall portfolio and one of the sampled Union producer provided a substantiated explanation.
Kui HRVst pärit kvaliteetsematel rehvidel lubataks subsideeritud hinnaga konkureerida liidu rehvidega, vähendaks see liidu rehvitööstuse marginaale ning seega selle investeerimis- ja innovatsioonisuutlikkust.
These elements were all considered by the Commission for the conclusion on the price pressure across tiers and were disclosed to interested parties.
See omakorda sunniks liidu tootmisharu tuginema kehvema kvaliteediga rehvidele, mis nõuavad piiratud investeeringuid teadus- ja arendustegevusele, mõjutades omakorda nende protekteeritavust.
Therefore, the Commission rejected the request by CRIA and the CCCMC.
Giti kontsern märkis, et protekteerijate majandustulemuste paranemine võib pigem olla seotud tooraine kallinemise kui ajutiste meetmete kehtestamisega.
Some interested parties claimed that the evolution of profitability of tier 1, tier 2 and tier 3 did not correlate with the interconnection between the tiers.
Komisjon arvates puuduvad tõendid selle kohta, et toorainekulude kasv ja tellimuste arvu suurenemine (põhineb protekteerijate esitatud teabel) on omavahel seotud.
They pointed out that the profitability of tier 1 of Union producers during the investigation period (at 17,5 %) is higher than the target profit (namely the profit that could be expected in the absence of subsidized imports) as preliminarily established by the Commission in the parallel anti-dumping investigation (at 15,6 %) (as described in recital (770) the profitability was revised in the meantime at 15,4 %).
Mis puudutab liidu tootmisharu kasumlikkust, kinnitas komisjon China National Tire kontserni kriitilisi märkusi, et 3. segment kandis uurimisperioodil kahjumit (– 0,7 %), samal ajal kui 1. ja 2. segmendi kasumlikkus oli kahekordne.
Similarly, the profitability of tier 2 Union producers during the investigation period (at 15,3 %) was essentially the same as that target profit.
Komisjon ei olnud aga nõus järeldusega, et see näitaja, mis osutab kasumlikkuse erinevusele olenevalt segmendist, võiks ümber lükata järelduse liidu tootmisharule kui tervikule olulise kahju tekitamise kohta.
Moreover, if profitability of Union producers in tier 1 and tier 2 was (indirectly) affected by cheap tier 3 imports, one would expect to see a similar evolution in profitability as for tier 3 Union producers.
Kõik asjaomased näitajad osutavad, et liidu tootmisharu kannatas 3. segmendis olulist kahju.
The Commission considered that is not the case.
Lisaks negatiivsele kasumimarginaalile vähenes märkimisväärselt ka tööhõive, eelkõige protekteerimise valdkonnas.
While profitability of tier 3 dropped from 6,1 % to 0,6 % in 2015 (as described in recital (785) the profitability was revised after disclosure from 5,9 % to 0,5 %), between 2014 and 2015, the profitability of tier 1 producers actually increased from 17,9 % to 21,8 %.
31 % suurune hindade allalöömine on märkimisväärne 3. segmendis, kus ka Hiinast tuleneva konkurentsi mahu mõju oli kõige tuntavam.
Conversely, while profitability of tier 1 and 2 dropped between 2015 and 2016, during the same period profitability of tier 3 producers quadrupled from 0,5 % to 2,7 %.
Nagu on näha tabelist 18, nihkub liidu tootjate uute rehvide müük märgatavalt ja pidevalt (aasta-aastalt) 3. segmendi suunas.
In short, those parties claim that there was no correlation in the development of the profitability of tier 3 and the profitability of tier 1 and tier 2.
2016. aastal oli tabelis 18 esitatud liidu müük 3. segmendis 5 miljonit rehvi.
Moreover, the Commission noted that the only period in which there was a correlation in the development of profitability was between 2016 and the investigation period.
Sellega seoses jäi komisjon arvamusele, et nagu on öeldud punktis 4.3, on segmentide vahel tugev seos, mis tekitab vastupidi toimiva langusmõju.
The slight decrease in profitability during the investigation period can however be explained by a sudden increase in raw material costs that had not translated yet into higher sales prices.
Vastupidi paljude huvitatud isikute märkustele on liidu tootjate seisukohast olemas ainult üks rehviturg ja nad jaotavad selle kolme segmenti peamiselt turustamisstrateegia ja kvaliteedierinevuste pärast.
As concerns the development of sales prices, even if it was correct that the data provided in the Information Document showed a decrease in sales prices of 9 % (for tier 1) and 12 % (for tier 2) over the period considered.
See tähendab, et liidu tootjad võtavad arvesse kõigis kolmes segmendis toimuvaid muutusi.
This downward trend cannot be attributed to tier 3 Chinese imports for the following reasons.
Seega, nagu on öeldud põhjenduses 798 jj, avaldavad 3. segmendi hinna- ja mahusurve otsest mõju ka ülejäänud kahele segmendile.
First, as the Commission acknowledged in other sections of the Information Document – but appeared to have ignored when developing its reverse-cascading theory – the cost of production (because of a decline in raw material prices) decreased during the investigation period.
Lisaks valisid rehvide kasutajad rehve kõigist kolmest segmendist.
For tier 1, the cost of production decreased by 9 %, exactly the same decrease as the one observed for the sales prices.
Nad tasakaalustavad oma valmisolekut maksta kõrgemat hinda rehvide oodatava kasutusea ja kaasnevate kuludega.
Similarly, for tier 2, the cost of production dropped by 9 %.
Sellest tulenevalt kinnitab tootjate ja tarbijate käitumine, et segmentide vahel on tugev seos.
In other words, those interested parties alleged that the decrease in prices that the Commission observed is fully (for tier 1) and for 75 % (for tier 2) explained by the drop in the cost of production.
Sellest järeldub, et täheldatud üleminek 3. segmendi rehvidele avaldab jätkuvat survet ka kahele ülejäänud segmendile.
They claim that that is also evident from the fact that once the cost of production increased between 2016 and the investigation period, so did sales prices.
Sellega seoses märkis komisjon veel, et subsideeritud import puudutab peamiselt 3. segmenti.
Second, there was a shift towards smaller tyres on the Union market.
Arvestades segmendite omavahelist seost ja 3. segmendi üha kasvavat tähtsust, leidis komisjon, et negatiivsed suundumused, mida kogu liidu tootmisharu puhul juba täheldati, lähitulevikus vaid jätkuvad.
The unit price of smaller tyres is lower than for bigger tyres and this explains part of the decrease in the sales prices over the period considered.
Kahju edasise süvenemise ohule osutavad ka Hiina keemia- ja naftakeemiatööstuse arengu 13. viisaastaku plaani eesmärgid – tehnoloogiline uuendamine, struktuuriline kohandamine ja keskkonnahoidlik areng.
Those interested parties claim that the Commission did not take this development in consideration.
Kõnealust plaani kohaldatakse rehvitööstuse suhtes ja komisjon on kindlaks teinud suurel arvul subsiidiume.
The Commission considered that the lack of correlation on the development of the profitability of the different tiers can be explained by the way the purchasing decisions were taken.
Nende põhjal on Hiina eksportivatel tootjatel struktuuriline eelis, et väärtusahelas ülespoole liikuda, kasutades jätkuvat juurdepääsu odavale rahastamisele.
There is a time lag given the nature of the product and the range of options the user has depending on the situation.
Kui HRVst pärit kvaliteetsemad rehvid konkureeriksid subsideeritud hindu kasutades üha enam liidu rehvidega, vähendaks see liidu rehvitööstuse marginaale ning seega selle investeerimis- ja uuendamissuutlikkust.
Indeed, the range of options the user has will depend on whether it has a tyre, and if so, whether the tyre it has could be further retreadable or not, the relative price of the available options, etc.
See omakorda sunniks liidu tootmisharu tuginema kehvema kvaliteediga rehvidele, mis nõuavad piiratud investeeringuid teadus- ja arendustegevusele, mõjutades omakorda nende protekteeritavust ja tekitades seega kahju kõigile kolmele segmendile.
For example, if the user needs to purchase a tyre, it will probably decide based on the whole range available.
Võttes arvesse 3. segmendi kahjustatud olukorda ning praegu 2. ja 1. segmendis tuntavat vastupidi toimivat langusmõju, jäi komisjon oma järelduse juurde, et tootmisharu tervikuna kannatas olulist kahju alusmääruse artikli 8 lõike 4 tähenduses.
However, if the user has a retreadable tyre already, the cost of retreading the tyre it has will probably compete with the cost of purchasing a new tier 3 net of the income of selling the carcass.
Seega jõudis komisjon järeldusele, et liidu tootmisharu tervikuna on olnud suure surve all.
Additionally, the information gathered by the Commission concerning different sizes commercialised in the Union market over the period considered did not support the argument that prices and costs were lower because of the relatively stronger presence of smaller tyres on the market.
Vaatlusaluse perioodi jooksul toimus jätkuvalt langevatest müügihindadest hoolimata tootmisvõimsuse, investeeringute ja tööhõive vähenemine ning turuosa oluline kahanemine.
The data showed indeed that the product mix on the market was stable and remains concentrated on the main dimensions.
Hiina import kärpis märkimisväärselt liidu tootmisharu hindu.
Moreover, such a reduction of the average size of the product could not be found in the Eurostat data for Chinese imports, revealing that, on the contrary the weight of the imported tyres from China increased by 3 % between 2014 and the investigation period.
Ka liidu tootmisharu kui terviku kasumlikkus vähenes ja vaatlusaluse perioodi lõpu poole isegi kiiremini.
Conversely, the Commission noted overall structural adaptations made by the Union industry in order to reduce costs, as a result of the ‘knock-on effect’ on the different tiers at play.
Lisaks suurenes igat liiki rehvide laovaru, eelkõige uurimisperioodil, mis mõjutas negatiivselt liidu tootmisharu finantsolukorda.
Some interested parties claimed that there were substantial imports (accounting for a market share of 11,9 %; up by more than 1 % compared to 2014) from other countries and these were made at decreasing prices (over the period considered, the average import price dropped by 17 %).
Paljud VKEdest protekteerijad lõpetasid tootmise ega saanud kasu majanduse elavnemisest.
Their pricing also indicated that these imports were aimed at the tier 1 and/or tier 2 segment of the market.
Komisjon pidas oluliseks ka AIRP, Bundesverband Reifenhandel und Vulkaniseur-Handwerki (vastavalt Itaalia ja Saksamaa protekteerijate ühendused) või Banden Plan Europa B.V.
The imports from Turkey, Thailand, Japan, South Korea as well as other countries (excluding Russia) have consistently undercut prices of Union producers in tier 1 in a range between 10 %-25 %.
(liidu protekteerija) või Vipal Europe'i (turvisetarnija) seisukohti, mille kohaselt on ajutiste dumpinguvastaste meetmete kehtestamine juba andnud sektorile positiivse tõuke.
The Giti Group claimed that the price decreases in tier 1 and tier 2 may have been caused by imports of tier 1 and tier 2 tyres from other countries and not by price pressure from Chinese tier 3 tyres.
Eelkõige on mitme liidu liikmesriigi protekteerijate tellimuste hulk alates 2018. aasta maist suurenenud ja nad usuvad, et see optimistlik väljavaade peaks püsima, kui ajutised dumpinguvastased meetmed muudetakse lõplikeks.
Again, such a situation would fatally undermine the Commission's theory.
PÕHJUSLIKUD SEOSED
With regard to that claim, the Commission found that the analysis advanced by the Giti Group was flawed as it was considering that all imports were sold directly to the first independent customers in the Union.
Alusmääruse artikli 8 lõike 7 kohaselt uuris komisjon ka seda, kas liidu tootmisharu võisid samal ajal kahjustada muud teadaolevad tegurid.
That theory disregards that average prices may be affected by the fact that of some of these imports are sold to interested related parties.
Komisjon jälgis, et subsideeritud impordile ei omistataks muud võimalikku kahju, mis on põhjustatud muudest teguritest kui asjaomasest riigist tulevast subsideeritud impordist.
Moreover, imports statistics did not provide an average price per tier, so that the Commission was not in a position to examine import prices on a tier basis, as was requested by the Giti Group.
Need tegurid on: import kolmandatest riikides, liidu tootjate ekspordimüügi tulemused ning kulude areng.
Therefore, the analysis proposed cannot be carried out with the information that the Commission was able to collect so far during the investigation, or that which was received from interested parties, and was rejected accordingly.
Subsideeritud impordi mõju
Therefore, the Commission rejected the claims brought forward by interested parties and confirmed its initial findings.
HRVst pärit subsideeritud import lõi liidu tootmisharu hinnad uurimisperioodil oluliselt alla; hinna allalöömismarginaal oli 21 %, mille tõttu vähenesid liidu tootmisharu turuosa ja kasumlikkus (vastavalt 72,4 %-lt 67,1 %-ni ning 15,4 %-lt 2014. aastal 13,7 %-ni vaatlusalusel perioodil).
Conclusion on injury
Liidu tootmisharu müügimaht vähenes vaatlusalusel perioodil veidi, samal ajal kui HRVst pärit impordi maht suurenes 32 % ning seega hõivas suurema osa liidu tarbimise kasvust.
Overall, the injury indicators show that the Union industry as a whole has been under intensive pressure.
Kokkuvõttes asendus vaatlusalusel perioodil liidu tootmisharu kaotatud turuosa (– 5,3 protsendipunkti) Hiina impordiga (+ 4,2 protsendipunkti).
There was a reduction of production capacity, investment and employment over the period of investigation and a significant loss of market share despite decreasing sales prices.
Kahjunäitajate analüüs põhjendustes 686–784 näitab, et liidu tootmisharu majanduslik olukord ja eelkõige finantsseisund on halvenenud ning see langeb kokku HRVst pärit subsideeritud impordi suure mahu saabumisega.
Market share was gained by imports of the product concerned at the expense of the Union industry, irrespective of segmentation, resulting in over 4200 jobs lost.
Sellise impordi hinnad lõid alla liidu tootmisharu hinnad ning on avaldanud märkimisväärset survet liidu turul toimuvale hindade langusele.
While still around 14 % for the industry as a whole, profitability declined by 1,7 percentage points between 2014 and the investigation period and by 3,2 percentage points between 2015 and the investigation period.
Peamised tegurid, millega käesoleval juhtumil arvestada tuleb, ongi impordi järsk suurenemine ja märkimisväärne hindade allalöömine.
It was also established that Chinese imports were substantially undercutting the Union industry prices, which, in turn, pointed to a direct and significant impact on the deteriorating performance and declining capacity, production, employment and other injury indicators of the Union industry.
Hiina eksportijatel õnnestus suurendada märkimisväärselt oma turuosa liidu tootmisharu arvelt.
The negative development was most felt in the tier 3 where many SMEs retreaders exited the market and could not benefit from the economic recovery in the sector, which was ultimately captured by the low-priced imports.
Uurimisperioodil koondus suurem osa subsideeritud Hiina impordi kogumahust 3. segmenti, sundides mitut liidu tootjat selles segmendis, eelkõige VKEdest protekteerijaid, turult lahkuma.
It is recalled that the companies mostly active in tier 3 account for around 20 % of the total Union production.
Lisaks tegi komisjon kindlaks, et selline subsideeritud hinnaga suur maht on mõjutanud hinnakujundust.
The losses of tier 3 are not sustainable and put the survival of the entire retreading activity in the Union at risk.
Varem kujundas hinda 1. segment, st et 2. segmendi hinnad kujunesid sõltuvalt 1. segmendi hindadest ning 3. segmendi hinnad sõltuvalt 2. segmendi hindadest.
Moreover, the effects of the price pressure also affected the prices of the higher tiers.
Nüüd oli see vastupidi – 2. segmendi hinnad kujunesid 3. segmendi hindade alusel ja 1. segmendi hinnad 2. segmendi hindade alusel.
The growing price pressure from tier 3 tyres resulting from low-priced imports, mostly relating to tier 3 tyres, has triggered a similar development in tier 2, where sales prices fell by 12 % in the period considered, and even the prices for tier 1 tyres had to be lowered by 9 % to remain competitive.
See tõi kaasa müügihinna languse kõigis segmentides.
