On 9 August 2013, a Sri Lankan producer, City Cycle Industries (‘City Cycle’) lodged an application at the General Court of the European Union (‘the General Court’) seeking the annulment of the contested Regulation in so far as it applies to this producer [4].
Dana 9. kolovoza 2013. šrilanski proizvođač City Cycle Industries (u daljnjem tekstu: „City Cycle”) podnio je zahtjev Općem sudu Europske unije („Opći sud”) u kojem se traži poništenje sporne uredbe u dijelu koji se odnosi na tog proizvođača [4].
In its judgment of 19 March 2015 [5], the General Court annulled the contested Regulation to the extent that it applies to City Cycle.
Presudom od 19. ožujka 2015. [5] Opći je sud poništio spornu uredbu u mjeri u kojoj se ona odnosi na društvo City Cycle.
In July 2015 the Council of the European Union [6], European Commission [7] and Maxcom Ltd [8] (a Union manufacturer of bicycle), appealed the General Court's judgment.
U srpnju 2015. Vijeće Europske unije [6], Europska komisija [7] i Maxcom Ltd [8] (proizvođač bicikala iz Unije), podnijeli su žalbu na presudu Općeg suda.
By its judgment of 26 January 2017 (‘the judgment’), the Court of Justice of the European Union (‘the Court of Justice’) dismissed the appeals submitted by the Union industry, the European Commission and the Council of the European Union.
Presudom od 26. siječnja 2017. („presuda”), Sud Europske unije („Sud”) odbio je žalbe koje su dostavili industrija Unije, Europska komisija i Vijeće Europske unije.
In particular, the Court of Justice found, in paragraph 73 of its judgment, that recital (78) of the contested Regulation did not contain an individual analysis of circumvention practices in which City Cycle may have been engaged.
Konkretno, u točki 73. presude Sud je utvrdio da uvodna izjava (78) sporne uredbe ne sadržava nikakvu pojedinačnu analizu mogućih praksi izbjegavanja mjera koje bi City Cycle obavljao.
The Court of Justice also found in paragraphs 75 and 76, that the conclusion as to the existence of transhipment operations in Sri Lanka could not legally be based only on the two findings expressly made by the Council, that is, first, that there had been a change in the pattern of trade and, second, that some of the producer-exporters had failed to cooperate [9].
Nadalje, Sud je u točkama 75. i 76. utvrdio da se zaključak u pogledu postojanja postupaka pretovara u Šri Lanki ne može pravno temeljiti samo na dvostrukom utvrđenju koje je izričito navelo Vijeće, odnosno, s jedne strane, na postojanju promjene strukture trgovine i, s druge strane, na nesuradnji dijela proizvođača izvoznika [9].
In line with Article 266 of the Treaty of the Functioning of the European Union, the Union institutions need to take the necessary steps to comply with the judgment of 26 January 2017.
U skladu s člankom 266. Ugovora o funkcioniranju Europske unije institucije Unije dužne su poduzeti potrebne mjere kako bi postupile u skladu s presudom od 26. siječnja 2017.
In cases where a proceeding consists of several administrative steps, the annulment of one of those steps does not annul the complete proceeding [10].
U predmetima u kojima se postupak sastoji od nekoliko administrativnih koraka, poništenjem jednog od tih koraka ne poništava se cijeli postupak [10].
Consequently, the annulment of the contested Regulation in relation to one party does not imply the annulment of the entire procedure prior to the adoption of that Regulation.
Stoga se poništenjem sporne uredbe u odnosu na jednu stranu ne podrazumijeva poništenje cijelog postupka provedenog prije donošenja te uredbe.
The EU institutions have the possibility to remedy the aspects of the contested Regulation which led to its annulment, while leaving unchanged the uncontested parts which are not affected by the Court judgment [11].
Institucije EU-a mogu ispraviti aspekte sporne uredbe koji su doveli do njezina poništenja, ostavljajući pritom nepromijenjene nesporne dijelove, na koje se ne odnosi presuda Suda [11].
Procedure until the judgment
Postupak do donošenja presude
The Commission confirms recitals (1) to (23) of the contested Regulation.
Komisija potvrđuje uvodne izjave od (1) do (23) sporne uredbe.
They are not affected by the judgment.
Presuda ne utječe na te uvodne izjave.
Reopening
Ponovno pokretanje postupka
Following the judgment, on 11 April 2017 the Commission published a Notice [12] partially reopening the anti-circumvention investigation concerning imports of bicycles consigned from Sri Lanka, whether declared as originating in Sri Lanka or not that led to the adoption of the contested Regulation (‘the Notice of re-opening’) and resumed it at the point at which the irregularity occurred.
Nakon presude Komisija je 11. travnja 2017. objavila Obavijest [12] o djelomičnom ponovnom pokretanju ispitnog postupka za sprečavanje izbjegavanja mjera u vezi s uvozom bicikala poslanih iz Šri Lanke, bez obzira na to imaju li deklarirano podrijetlo iz Šri Lanke ili nemaju, koji je doveo do donošenja sporne uredbe („Obavijest o ponovnom pokretanju postupka”), te ga je nastavila u točki u kojoj je došlo do nepravilnosti.
The reopening was limited in scope to the implementation of the judgment with regard to City Cycle.
Ponovno pokretanje postupka bilo je ograničeno na provedbu presude Općeg suda u pogledu društva City Cycle.
The Commission informed City Cycle, the representatives of the exporting country, the Union industry and other interested parties known to be concerned from the original investigation of the partial reopening of the investigation.
Komisija je o djelomičnom ponovnom pokretanju ispitnog postupka obavijestila društvo City Cycle, predstavnike zemlje izvoznice, industriju Unije i druge zainteresirane strane iz početnog ispitnog postupka za koje se znalo da se postupak na njih odnosi.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time-limit set out in the notice.
Zainteresirane strane dobile su priliku da iznesu svoja stajališta u pisanom obliku i da zatraže saslušanje u roku određenom u Obavijesti.
All interested parties who so requested were granted the opportunity to be heard by the Commission services and/or the Hearing officer in trade proceedings.
Svim zainteresiranim stranama koje su to zatražile omogućeno je saslušanje pred službama Komisije i/ili službenikom za saslušanje u trgovinskim postupcima.
Nobody requested a hearing either with the Commission services or the Hearing officer in trade proceedings.
Nitko nije zatražio saslušanje pred Komisijom i/ili službenikom za saslušanje u trgovinskim postupcima.
Following the judgment, the European Bicycle Manufacturers Association and Maxcom Ltd requested that imports of bicycles in so far as it concerns City Cycle are made subject to registration under Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation so that measures may subsequently be applied on those imports from the date of such registration.
Nakon presude European Bicycle Manufacturers Association i Maxcom Ltd zatražili su da se uvoz bicikala u mjeri u kojoj se odnosi na City Cycle podvrgne evidentiranju u skladu s člankom 14. stavkom 5. osnovne uredbe tako da se mjere mogu naknadno primijeniti na taj uvoz od datuma takvog evidentiranja.
On 11 April 2017, the Commission made imports of bicycles consigned from Sri Lanka, whether declared as originating in Sri Lanka or not, in so far as it concerns the Sri Lankan company City Cycle Industries subject to registration (‘Registration Regulation’) [13].
Komisija je 11. travnja 2017. uvoz bicikala poslanih iz Šri Lanke, bez obzira na to imaju li deklarirano podrijetlo iz Šri Lanke ili ne, uvjetovala evidentiranjem u mjeri u kojoj se odnosi na društvo iz Šri Lanke City Cycle Industries („Uredba o evidentiranju”) [13].
The product under investigation is the same as in the contested Regulation that is bicycles and other cycles (including delivery tricycles, but excluding unicycles), not motorised, originating in the People's Republic of China (‘China’ or ‘PRC’), currently falling within CN codes ex87120030 and ex87120070.
Proizvod iz ispitnog postupka istovjetan je onome u spornoj uredbi, odnosno to su bicikli i ostala slična vozila (uključujući dostavne tricikle, no isključujući jednocikle), bez motornog pogona, podrijetlom iz Narodne Republike Kine („Kina” ili „NRK”), koji su trenutačno obuhvaćeni oznakama KN ex87120030 i ex87120070.
The Commission confirms recitals (25) to (27) of the contested Regulation.
Komisija potvrđuje uvodne izjave od (25) do (27) sporne uredbe.
C. ASSESSMENT FOLLOWING THE JUDGMENT
C. PROCJENA NAKON PRESUDE
First, the Court of Justice held that the contested Regulation did not contain an individual analysis of circumvention practices in which City Cycle may have been engaged.
Prvo, Sud je utvrdio da sporna uredba ne sadržava nikakvu pojedinačnu analizu mogućih praksi izbjegavanja mjera koje bi društvo City Cycle Industries obavljalo.
The two findings expressly made by the Council, that that there had been a change in the pattern of trade and that some of the producer-exporters had failed to cooperate were found by the Court of Justice not to be sufficient to entitle the Council to conclude either that City Cycle was involved in transhipment operations or that transhipment operations existed at national level in Sri Lanka.
Sud smatra da dvostruko utvrđenje koje je izričito iznijelo Vijeće – da je došlo do promjene strukture trgovine i da neki od proizvođača izvoznika nisu surađivali, nije dostatno za zaključak Vijeća da je City Cycle sudjelovao u postupcima pretovara ili da su se takvi postupci obavljali na nacionalnoj razini u Šri Lanki.
Second, it is recognised in paragraphs 29 and 31 of the judgment that the evidence communicated by City Cycle during the investigation did not show that it was a genuine producer or that its assembly operations did not constitute circumvention practice according to the criteria laid down in Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
Drugo, u točkama 29. i 31. presude priznaje se da podatci koje je dostavio City Cycle tijekom ispitnog postupka ne dokazuju da je on stvarni proizvođač ili da njegovi postupci sastavljanja ne čine prakse izbjegavanja mjera u skladu s kriterijima utvrđenima u članku 13. stavku 2. osnovne uredbe.
Recitals (124) to (127) of the contested Regulation are therefore confirmed.
Stoga se potvrđuju uvodne izjave od (124) do (127) sporne uredbe.
Third, it follows from the judgment, in conjunction with the judgment of the General Court, that the Council was entitled to consider City Cycle as a non-cooperating party in the investigation and that there was a certain level of non-cooperation at national level in Sri Lanka.
Treće, iz presude Suda, u vezi s presudom Općeg suda, proizlazi da je Vijeće opravdano moglo smatrati City Cycle stranom koja ne surađuje u ispitnom postupku i da je na nacionalnoj razini u Šri Lanki postojala određena razina nesuradnje.
Recitals (35) to (42) of the contested Regulation are therefore confirmed.
Stoga se potvrđuju uvodne izjave od (35) do (42) sporne uredbe.
The Commission had found, in recitals (93) to (96) of the contested Regulation, undermining of the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty.
Komisija je u uvodnim izjavama od (93) do (96) sporne uredbe utvrdila narušavanje korektivnog učinka antidampinške pristojbe.
Those findings are confirmed.
Ti se nalazi potvrđuju.
The Commission had found, in recitals (97) and (98) as well as (107) to (110) of the contested Regulation, evidence of dumping.
Komisija je u uvodnim izjavama (97) i (98) te uvodnim izjavama od (107) do (110) sporne uredbe utvrdila postojanje dokaza o dampingu.
The contested Regulation has been annulled because the Council failed to provide, in the contested Regulation, sufficient substantiation as to the existence of circumventing practices for City Cycle Industries.
Sporna je uredba poništena jer Vijeće u njoj nije iznijelo dostatne argumente u prilog postojanju praksi izbjegavanja mjera proizvođača City Cycle Industries.
It is recalled that the existence of circumvention practices can be established, inter alia, on the basis of transhipment or on the basis of assembly operations.
Podsjeća se da se postojanje praksi izbjegavanja mjera može utvrditi, među ostalim, na temelju pretovara ili na temelju postupaka sastavljanja.
The reopened investigation revealed that there was no further available evidence at company level which could support the finding of transhipment.
Ponovno pokrenutim ispitnim postupkom utvrđeno je da na razini trgovačkog društva nisu dostupni dodatni dokazi koji bi poduprli utvrđenje postojanja prakse pretovara.
Therefore, no further reasoning regarding transhipment could be put forward under recital (78) of the contested Regulation.
Stoga se nisu mogla iznijeti dodatna obrazloženja u pogledu pretovara iz uvodne izjave (78) sporne uredbe.
However, available evidence shows that circumvention practices via assembly operations took place.
Međutim, dostupni dokazi pokazuju da su provođene prakse izbjegavanja mjera putem postupaka sastavljanja.
The evidence was based on the data submitted by City Cycle itself during the original investigation.
Dokazi se temelje na podatcima koje je dostavilo samo društvo City Cycle tijekom početnog ispitnog postupka.
The Council had not assessed that data in detail, because it considered that that was not necessary in order to demonstrate, to the required legal standard, existence of circumvention practices.
Vijeće te podatke nije podrobno procijenilo jer je smatralo da to nije nužno kako bi se dokazalo postojanje praksi izbjegavanja mjera na način koji je u skladu s pravnom normom.
Now that the Court has clarified the applicable legal standard, the Commission considers it appropriate to reassess all the evidence available in the administrative file in the light of the applicable legal standard.
Budući da je Sud naknadno pojasnio koja se pravna norma primjenjuje, Komisija smatra primjerenim ponovno procijeniti sve dostupne dokaze iz upravnog spisa s obzirom na primjenjivu pravnu normu.
During the anti-circumvention investigation City Cycle came forward and requested exemption from the possible anti-circumvention measures.
Tijekom ispitnog postupka za sprečavanje izbjegavanja mjera društvo City Cycle javilo se i zatražilo izuzeće od mogućih mjera za sprečavanje izbjegavanja mjera.
As described in recitals (37), (38) and (144) of the contested Regulation, City Cycle was unable to prove that it merited an exemption.
Kako je opisano u uvodnim izjavama (37), (38) i (144) sporne uredbe, City Cycle nije uspio dokazati da bi trebao dobiti izuzeće.
The company afforded insufficient cooperation and Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation was applied.
Društvo nije dovoljno surađivalo te se primijenio članak 18. stavak 1. osnovne uredbe.
The lack of reliable information as regards the value and volume of parts of Chinese origin purchased by the company made it impossible to positively establish that City Cycle was a genuine producer not involved in circumvention or that its assembly operations were not a form of circumvention.
Zbog nedostatka pouzdanih informacija u pogledu vrijednosti i količine dijelova kineskog podrijetla koje je kupilo društvo nije bilo moguće sa sigurnošću utvrditi da je City Cycle stvarni proizvođač, koji nije uključen u izbjegavanje mjera, ili da njegovi postupci sastavljanja nisu oblik izbjegavanja mjera.
As explained in recitals (16) and (17) above, these findings were not affected by the judgment.
Kako je objašnjeno u prethodnim uvodnim izjavama (16) i (17), presuda ne utječe na te nalaze.
In any event, however, the data submitted by the company itself demonstrate that:
U svakom slučaju, međutim, podatci koje je dostavilo samo to društvo dokazuju sljedeće:
the raw materials (bicycle parts) from China constituted more than 60 % of the total value of the parts of the assembled product (60/40 test), while
sirovine (dijelovi za bicikle) iz Kine činile su više od 60 % ukupne vrijednosti dijelova sastavljenog proizvoda (test 60/40), a
the value added to the parts brought in during the assembly operation, was lower than 25 % of the manufacturing cost (25 % value added test).
vrijednost koja je dodana dovedenim dijelovima tijekom postupka sastavljanja bila je niža od 25 % troškova proizvodnje (test dodane vrijednosti od 25 %).
According to the criteria of Article 13(2)(a) and (b) of the basic Regulation, this means that such assembly operations should be considered to constitute circumvention practice given the fulfilment of the other criteria as described in recitals (18) and (19) above.
Prema kriterijima iz članka 13. stavka 2. točaka (a) i (b) osnovne uredbe to znači da bi takve postupke sastavljanja trebalo smatrati praksama izbjegavanja mjera s obzirom na to da su ispunjeni ostali kriteriji opisani u uvodnim izjavama (18) i (19).
Consequently, the existence of circumvention practices via assembly operations should be established at country level in Sri Lanka on the basis of the above evidence available at the company level that tends to show circumvention practices and given the high level of non-cooperation in Sri Lanka.
Stoga bi, na temelju navedenih dokaza dostupnih na razini trgovačkog društva koji upućuju na prakse izbjegavanja mjera i s obzirom na visoku razinu nesuradnje u Šri Lanki, trebalo utvrditi postojanje praksi izbjegavanja mjera putem postupaka sastavljanja na razini zemlje u Šri Lanki.
Consequently, the existence of assembly operations within the meaning of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation was established in Sri Lanka.
Stoga je u Šri Lanki utvrđeno postojanje postupaka sastavljanja u smislu članka 13. stavka 2. osnovne uredbe.
After disclosure, City Cycle contested the competence of the Commission to adopt findings on the existence of assembly operations within the meaning of Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
Nakon objave društvo City Cycle osporavalo je Komisijinu nadležnost za utvrđivanje nalaza o postojanju postupaka sastavljanja u smislu članka 13. stavka 2. osnovne uredbe.
It argued that the Commission could not reassess the finding on the assembly operation because it had not been challenged in the court proceedings and that the Commission was therefore obliged to abandon the pursuit of measures against City Cycle.
Tvrdilo je da Komisija ne može ponovno procijeniti nalaz o postupku sastavljanja jer on nije bio osporavan u sudskom postupku te da bi Komisija stoga trebala odustati od uvođenja mjera protiv društva City Cycle.
This argument should be rejected.
Taj bi argument trebalo odbaciti.
First, it results from the judgments of the Court of Justice cited in recitals (4) and (5) that the condition for imposing anti-circumvention measures relates to the existence of circumventing practices as defined in Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, and not to a specific subset of these practices.
Prvo, iz uvodnih izjava (4) i (5) proizlazi da je uvjet za uvođenje mjera za sprečavanje izbjegavanja mjera povezan s postojanjem praksi izbjegavanja mjera kako su definirane u članku 13. stavku 1. osnovne uredbe, a ne s posebnom podskupinom tih praksi.
Second, City Cycle interprets incorrectly the obligation imposed on the Commission by Article 266 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (‘TFEU’) in the present case.
Drugo, City Cycle neispravno tumači obvezu koja u predmetnom slučaju za Komisiju proizlazi iz članka 266. Ugovora o funkcioniranju Europske unije („UFEU”).
As made clear in recital (6) of the Notice of re-opening, it is the lack of sufficient reasoning in the contested Regulation concerning the available evidence on the existence of circumventing practices in Sri Lanka that must be corrected in the current procedure.
Kako je jasno navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi (6). Obavijesti o ponovnom pokretanju postupka, u ovom je postupku riječ o ispravljanju nedostatnog obrazloženja iz sporne uredbe u pogledu dostupnih dokaza o postojanju praksi izbjegavanja mjera u Šri Lanki.
The Commission is therefore competent for readopting a measure with an improved reasoning making clear that City Cycle is engaged in circumventing practices in Sri Lanka, which is fully in line with the case-law of the Court of Justice.
Stoga je, u skladu sa sudskom praksom Suda, Komisija nadležna za ponovno donošenje mjere na temelju poboljšanih argumenata iz kojih je jasno da City Cyle provodi prakse izbjegavanja mjera u Šri Lanki.
In any event, the contested Regulation has been annulled in its totality.
U svakom slučaju sporna je uredba u cijelosti poništena.
Hence, none of its recitals has become definitive.
Stoga ni jedna njezina uvodna izjava nije postala konačna.
Rather, the Commission needs to assess afresh all aspects of the file.
Komisija, dakle, treba ponovno procijeniti sve aspekte predmetnog spisa.
Where no new developments have taken place in the Court proceedings, the Commission may limit itself to confirming the findings of the initial investigation.
Ako sudskim postupkom nisu utvrđeni novi elementi, Komisija se može ograničiti na potvrđivanje nalaza početnog ispitnog postupka.
For the contested part, in the present case circumvention practices, a fresh assessment has to take place.
Kad je riječ o spornom dijelu, u ovom je predmetu potrebna nova procjena praksi izbjegavanja mjera.
After disclosure, City Cycle also contested the competence of the Commission to rely on the evidence that it had submitted in the course of the investigation that lead to the imposition of anti-circumvention measures mentioned in recital (2) and to arrive at a different conclusion.
Nakon objave društvo City Cycle osporavalo je i pravo Komisije da na temelju dokaza koje joj je dostavilo tijekom ispitnog postupka koji je doveo do uvođenja mjera za sprečavanje izbjegavanja mjera iz uvodne izjave (2) dođe do drukčijeg zaključka od ranijeg.
This argument should also be rejected.
I taj bi argument trebalo odbaciti.
The Commission is indeed entitled to assess differently the evidence already provided, to the extent that such a new assessment is in line with Article 13 of the basic Regulation as interpreted by the Union Courts, and that City Cycle had full opportunities to comment on this new assessment.
Komisija doista ima pravo drukčije procijeniti već dostavljene dokaze ako je takva nova procjena u skladu s člankom 13. osnovne uredbe kako ga tumače sudovi Unije te ako je društvo City Cycle imalo svaku mogućnost očitovanja na novu procjenu.
As explained in the following recitals, City Cycle has been fully granted its right to submit comments on the Commission's assessment.
Kako se objašnjava u narednim uvodnim izjavama, društvu City Cycle u potpunosti je omogućeno pravo dostave primjedbi na procjenu Komisije.
However, the comments provided by City Cycle did not alter the Commission's finding that it was engaged in circumventing practices.
Međutim, primjedbe koje je dostavilo društvo City Cycle nisu promijenile Komisijin nalaz prema kojemu je to društvo sudjelovalo u praksama izbjegavanja mjera.
After the additional disclosure, City Cycle continued to disagree with the Commission's approach to reassess the evidence available in the administrative file.
Nakon dodatne objave društvo City Cycle i dalje se nije slagalo s Komisijinim pristupom ponovnom ocjenjivanju dostupnih dokaza iz upravnog spisa.
It claimed that following the court judgment, the Commission was allowed to correct only the findings of transhipment and not on assembly operations.
Tvrdilo je da je nakon presude Suda Komisija imala pravo samo ispraviti nalaze o pretovaru, a ne nalaze o postupcima sastavljanja.
This claim should be rejected.
Tu bi tvrdnju trebalo odbaciti.
In the present regulation the Commission is correcting the findings of circumvention practices which, as stated in recital (20), can be established, inter alia, on the basis of transhipment or on the basis of assembly operations.
Ovom Uredbom Komisija ispravlja nalaze o praksama izbjegavanja, koji se, kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi (20) među ostalim mogu donijeti na temelju pretovara ili na temelju postupaka sastavljanja.
