‘The product concerned is certain concrete reinforcement bars and rods, made of iron or non-alloy steel, not further worked than forged, hot-rolled, hot-drawn or hot-extruded, whether or not twisted after rolling, containing indentations, ribs, grooves or other deformations produced during the rolling process, originating in Belarus and currently falling within CN codes ex72141000, ex72142000, ex72143000, ex72149110, ex72149190, ex72149910 and ex72149995 (‘the product concerned’).
S druge strane, suprotno tvrdnji bjelaruskog poduzeća, podnositelj pritužbe tvrdio je da bi šipke kružnog poprečnog presjeka i druge šipke bez deformacija trebale biti uključene u opseg proizvoda.
High fatigue performance iron or steel concrete reinforcing bars and rods and other long products, such as round bars are excluded’.
Nakon pažljivog ispitivanja Komisija zaključuje da opisni dio definicije predmetnog proizvoda u pritužbi i u Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka očito ne obuhvaća šipke kružnog poprečnog presjeka i šipke bez deformacija te da su te šipke stoga izvan opsega proizvoda.
C. DUMPING
Nadalje, svi podaci koji se odnose na predmetni proizvod prikupljeni za izračune dampinga i analizu štete nisu uključivali podatke koji se odnose na šipke kružnog poprečnog presjeka ili šipke bez deformacija.
In the absence of comments concerning details of dumping calculation, the provisional findings and conclusions set out in recitals (19) to (55) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Stoga bi iz definicije opsega proizvoda trebalo biti jasno da šipke kružnog poprečnog presjeka i šipke bez deformacija nisu obuhvaćene predmetnim proizvodom.
D. UNION INDUSTRY
Zbog toga Komisija prihvaća promjene opisa predmetnog proizvoda koje je predložio bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik.
In the absence of any comments concerning the Union industry, the provisional findings and conclusions set out in recitals (56) to (59) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Tijekom te ocjene Komisija je provjerila odnose li se oznake KN ex72149971 i ex72149979 isključivo na šipke kružnog poprečnog presjeka i šipke bez deformacija te je stoga isključila upućivanje na njih u definiciji opsega proizvoda.
E. INJURY
Komisija je primijetila i da su te šipke bile pogrešno uključene u informacije utvrđene u uvodnim izjavama 62., 63., 65. i 103.
As mentioned in the recitals (13) and (14), the round bars and bars without deformation are not part of the product concerned.
Privremene uredbe (potrošnja u Uniji, obujam i tržišni udio predmetnog uvoza, cijene uvezenih proizvoda i uvoz iz trećih zemalja) i ti su podaci na odgovarajući način revidirani.
These products are currently falling within CN codes ex72149971 and 72149979.
Uzimajući u obzir prethodno navedeno, Komisija pojašnjava definiciju predmetnog proizvoda kako slijedi:
The revised information presented in the tables, as set out in recitals (62), (63) and (65) of the provisional Regulation, is as follows:
„Predmetni su proizvod određene šipke za armiranje betona od željeza ili nelegiranog čelika, samo kovane i dalje neobrađene, toplo valjane, toplo vučene ili toplo istiskivane, neovisno jesu li usukane nakon valjanja, s udubljenjima, rebrima, žljebovima ili drugim deformacijama dobivenim tijekom procesa valjanja, podrijetlom iz Bjelarusa i trenutačno razvrstane u oznake KN ex72141000, ex72142000, ex72143000, ex72149110, ex72149190, ex72149910 i ex72149995 (‚predmetni proizvod’).
Union consumption
Isključene su željezne ili čelične šipke visoke otpornosti na zamor za armiranje betona i drugi dugački proizvodi, kao što su šipke kružnog poprečnog presjeka.”

The correction of the figures above did not have any impact on the injury assessment.
Ti proizvodi trenutačno su razvrstani u oznake KN ex72149971 i 72149979.
Indeed, the trends observed were the same and therefore the Commission's findings in recitals (62) to (66) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Revidirane informacije predstavljene u tablicama, kako je utvrđeno u uvodnim izjavama 62., 63. i 65.
Unreliability of certain injury data of the Union industry as a result of price-fixing
Privremene uredbe, sljedeće su:
As described in recital (132) of the provisional Regulation, the Belarusian exporting producer and one of the non-sampled Union importers raised the issue of alleged price-fixing among the Union producers, which would have rendered the injury data unreliable.
Potrošnja u Uniji
This claim was further developed by the Belarusian company in its submission after provisional disclosure.
Potrošnja (u tonama)
The Belarusian exporting producer indicated that a cartel investigation was currently being conducted by Italian Competition Authority (Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato (‘AGCM’)) with regard to certain companies located in Northern Italy.
Indeks (2012. = 100)
One of the companies concerned is part of the sample of the Union producers in the current antidumping investigation.
Obujam i tržišni udio predmetnog uvoza
Following this claim, the Commission requested relevant information from AGCM to evaluate whether and to what extent those facts influence the reliability of the injury data of the Union industry in the present anti-dumping proceedings.
Obujam (u tonama)
According to the case-law, in a situation where an investigation into anti-competitive behaviour is pending at a national competition authority, the Commission has to consider whether the Union industry, through this behaviour, has contributed to the injury suffered and establish that the injury on which it bases its conclusions did not derive from the anticompetitive behaviour.
Tržišni udio u potrošnji u EU-u (%)
The Commission may in such a situation not wait until the competent national authority concludes its investigation, but has to request the relevant information from the parties and the national authorities, as appropriate, under the procedural rules for anti-dumping investigations and carry out an assessment of that information [4].
Cijene uvezenih proizvoda
Following a request based on Article 6(3) of the basic Regulation, AGCM has informed the Commission that on 21 October 2015 it opened a formal investigation with respect to six Italian producers of concrete reinforcement bars and welded wire for an alleged infringement of Article 101 TFEU [5].
Prosječna cijena (u EUR/tona)
AGCM extended the proceedings in September 2016 to also cover under the investigation two additional Italian producers.
Ispravak prethodno navedenih podataka nije nimalo utjecao na ocjenu štete.
Following the in-depth assessment of all available information, AGCM issued a Statement of Objections that was communicated to the relevant companies on 18 January 2017.
Doista, opažena kretanja bila su ista i stoga su potvrđeni nalazi Komisije iz uvodnih izjava 62. do 66.
The anti-competitive conduct being investigated concerns an alleged exchange of information and price collusion between the eight Italian companies that would cover several phases of the value added chain of their activities from the purchase of inputs, through the levels of production capacity and effective production, up to the sale of the output, which would have taken place over the period 2010 to 2016.
Privremene uredbe.
On account of its supply and demand side characteristics, the relevant geographic market was defined as national in the formal decision to launch the investigation.
Nepouzdanost određenih podataka o šteti za industriju Unije kao rezultat dogovaranja cijena
The information submitted by AGCM shows that the product concerned in this investigation, rebars, overlaps with the products subject to the antitrust investigation, and also that the alleged cartel was in force during the whole investigation period.
Kako je opisano u uvodnoj izjavi 132.
In these circumstances, the Commission considers that the data of the sampled Italian producer is not reliable for the purpose of the injury analysis.
Privremene uredbe, bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik i jedan uvoznik iz Unije koji nije odabran u uzorak uputili su na problem navodnog dogovaranja cijena među proizvođačima iz Unije, što bi podatke o šteti učinilo nepouzdanima.
As a result, the Commission has analysed Union consumption, volume and market share of the imports concerned and also the macroeconomic and microeconomic injury indicators excluding data pertaining to the Italian market.
Bjelarusko društvo podrobnije je izložilo tu tvrdnju u svojem podnesku nakon privremene objave.
For the sake of transparency, the relevant figures excluding the Italian companies are presented below.
Bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik naveo je da je talijanska agencija za tržišno natjecanje (Autorità Garante della Concorrenza e del Mercato („AGCM”)) u tom trenutku provodila istragu kartela u pogledu određenih društava iz sjeverne Italije.
Macroeconomic indicators (tables):
Jedno od predmetnih društava dio je uzorka proizvođača iz Unije u ovom antidampinškom ispitnom postupku.
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Na temelju te tvrdnje Komisija je od AGCM-a zatražila relevantne informacije kako bi ocijenila utječu li te činjenice na pouzdanost podataka o šteti za industriju Unije u ovom antidampinškom postupku i u kojoj mjeri utječu.
Production volume (tonnes)
Prema sudskoj praksi, u situaciji u kojoj je istraga protutržišnog ponašanja u tijeku pri nacionalnom tijelu za tržišno natjecanje, Komisija mora razmotriti je li industrija Unije svojim ponašanjem pridonijela pretrpljenoj šteti i utvrditi da šteta na kojoj temelji svoje zaključke ne proizlazi iz protutržišnog ponašanja.
Production capacity (tonnes)
U takvoj situaciji Komisija ne mora čekati da nadležno nacionalno tijelo završi svoju istragu, no mora zatražiti relevantne informacije od strana i nacionalnih tijela, po potrebi, na temelju postupovnih pravila za antidampinške ispitne postupke te ocijeniti te informacije [4].
Capacity utilisation (%)
Nakon zahtjeva na temelju članka 6. stavka 3.
Sales volume, market share and growth
Osnovne uredbe, AGCM je obavijestio Komisiju da je 21. listopada 2015. pokrenuo službenu istragu u pogledu šest talijanskih proizvođača šipki i zavarene žice za armiranje betona zbog navodne povrede članka 101.

AGCM je proširio postupak u rujnu 2016. kako bi istragom obuhvatio još dva talijanska proizvođača.
Market share related sales (%)
Na temelju njegovih značajki ponude i potražnje, relevantno zemljopisno tržište bilo je definirano kao nacionalno u službenoj odluci o pokretanju istrage.
Employment and productivity
Informacije koje je dostavio AGCM pokazuju da se predmetni proizvod u ovom ispitnom postupku, šipke za armiranje betona, preklapa s proizvodima koji su predmet protumonopolske istrage te da je navodni kartel djelovao tijekom cijelog razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
Number of employees
U tim okolnostima Komisija smatra da podaci talijanskog proizvođača u uzorku nisu pouzdani za potrebe analize štete.
Productivity (MT/employee)
Kao rezultat toga Komisija je analizirala potrošnju, obujam i tržišni udio predmetnog uvoza u Uniji te makroekonomske i mikroekonomske pokazatelje štete bez podataka koji se odnose na talijansko tržište.
Microeconomic indicators (tables — indexed for confidentiality reasons):
Radi transparentnosti relevantne brojke bez talijanskih društava prikazane su u nastavku.

On that basis, the Commission notes that the development of the injury indicators without the data pertaining to Italy is practically the same to the one reflecting the whole Union market including Italy.
Produktivnost (u tonama po zaposleniku)
It can therefore be concluded that following the exclusion of data relating to the Italian market from the injury analysis, the situation of the Union industry is still one of material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation
Mikroekonomski pokazatelji (tablice – indeksirani radi povjerljivosti):
As far as undercutting is concerned, the Commission first notes that the undercutting margin found at provisional stage was 4,5 %.
Prosječne jedinične prodajne cijene na tržištu Unije i jedinični trošak proizvodnje
The Commission has re-examined the existence of undercutting in the light of the findings above in recitals (19) to (23).
Prosječna jedinična prodajna cijena u Uniji za nepovezane kupce (EUR/tona)
Undercutting is established by using data from the sampled companies.
Jedinični trošak prodane robe (EUR/tona)
Hence, the Commission has excluded from the undercutting calculations the data relating to the Italian producer that is part of the sample.
Profitabilnost, novčani tok, ulaganja, povrat ulaganja i sposobnost prikupljanja kapitala
The undercutting margin based on all sampled companies minus the Italian one remains significant at a level of 4,4 %.
Profitabilnost prodaje u Uniji nepovezanim kupcima (% prodajnog prometa)
The Belarussian exporting producer also claimed that the undercutting (and underselling) calculations should not be done by comparison to the prices of all transactions of the sampled Union producers but only in comparison to those happening where the competition with Belarusian import takes place.
Novčani tok (EUR)
Undercutting calculations are normally performed on the basis of dumped imports of the product concerned into the Union with all comparable sales of the Union industry.
Ulaganja (EUR)
However, given the specific circumstances of this case and the particular characteristics of the product concerned, the Commission has also calculated an undercutting margin by limiting the analysis to those Member States where the Belarusian products were first sold, mainly in the Netherlands, Germany, Poland, and Lithuania.
Povrat ulaganja
This approach is based on the conservative assumption that the immediate and direct pressure exercised by the dumped imports on Union sales prices first took place in those Member States.
Zalihe
Any subsequent trickling through of the effect to other Member States has thus deliberately been ignored.
Završne zalihe (u tonama)
Under this scenario, the duly adjusted weighted average sales prices of the Belarusian dumped imports were compared to the corresponding sales prices of the sampled Union producers, excluding the one located in Italy, charged to unrelated customers in those regions where direct competition with Belarusian products occurred.
Troškovi rada
This resulted in an undercutting margin of 2,8 %, instead of the 4,5 % margin as established in recital (68) of the provisional Regulation.
Prosječni troškovi rada po zaposleniku (EUR)
The product concerned by this investigation can be considered a commodity product, which is very price sensitive.
Na temelju toga Komisija napominje da je razvoj pokazatelja štete bez podataka koji se odnose na Italiju praktično isti kao onaj koji se odnosi na cijelo tržište Unije uključujući Italiju.
It is therefore concluded that even an undercutting margin of 2,8 % is significant and sufficient to cause price depression as explained in recitals (83), (84) and (98) of the provisional Regulation.
Stoga se može zaključiti da nakon isključenja podataka koji se odnose na talijansko tržište iz analize štete stanje industrije Unije i dalje pokazuje materijalnu štetu u smislu članka 3. stavka 5.
Following final disclosure, the Belarussian exporting producer also claimed that the findings above in recitals (19) to (23) would most likely have spill-over effects on other Member States, especially in France, where the parent company of one of the Italian producers has a subsidiary holding a strong market position.
Osnovne uredbe.
However, with respect to the alleged anti-competitive conduct in Italy, AGCM has defined the relevant geographic market as national.
U pogledu sniženja cijena Komisija prvo napominje da je marža sniženja cijena utvrđena u privremenoj fazi iznosila 4,5 %.
Moreover, the evidence of the file summarized in recitals (19) to (23) on its own does not support such a claim.
Komisija je preispitala postojanje sniženja cijena u svjetlu nalaza navedenih u uvodnim izjavama od 19. do 23.
This claim is therefore rejected.
Sniženje cijena utvrđuje se upotrebom podataka dobivenih od društava u uzorku.
Conclusion on injury
Stoga je Komisija iz izračuna sniženja cijena isključila podatke koji se odnose na talijanskog proizvođača koji je dio uzorka.
In the absence of any additional comments with regard to injury to the Union industry, the provisional findings and conclusions set out in recitals (70) to (95) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Marža sniženja cijena na temelju svih društava u uzorku umanjena za talijansko društvo i dalje je znatna i iznosi 4,4 %.
F. CAUSATION
Bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik tvrdio je i da se izračuni sniženja cijena (i sniženja ciljnih cijena) ne bi trebali provoditi usporedbom s cijenama svih transakcija proizvođača iz Unije u uzorku, nego samo usporedbom s onima kada dolazi do tržišnog natjecanja s uvezenim bjelaruskim proizvodima.
Effect of dumped imports
Izračuni sniženja cijena obično se provode na temelju dampinškog uvoza predmetnog proizvoda u Uniju te sve usporedive prodaje industrije Unije.
In the absence of any comments with regard to the effect of dumped imports on the economic situation of the Union industry, the findings and conclusions set out in recitals (97) to (100) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Međutim, s obzirom na posebne okolnosti ovog slučaja i posebne značajke predmetnog proizvoda, Komisija je izračunala i maržu sniženja cijena ograničavanjem analize na države članice u kojima su bjelaruski proizvodi prvo prodavani, uglavnom u Nizozemskoj, Njemačkoj, Poljskoj i Litvi.
Effect of other factors
Taj se pristup temelji na konzervativnoj pretpostavci da se neposredan i izravan pritisak dampinškog uvoza na prodajne cijene u Uniji prvo dogodio u tim državama članicama.
Export performance of the Union industry
Svako naknadno širenje tog učinka na druge države članice zbog toga je namjerno zanemareno.
In the absence of any comments with regard to export performance of the Union industry, the conclusion set out in recital (101) of the provisional Regulation is confirmed.
Prema tom scenariju, primjereno prilagođene ponderirane prosječne prodajne cijene dampinškog uvoza iz Bjelarusa uspoređene su s odgovarajućim prodajnim cijenama proizvođača iz Unije u uzorku, isključujući onog iz Italije, naplaćenima nepovezanim kupcima u regijama gdje je došlo do izravnog tržišnog natjecanja s bjelaruskim proizvodima.
Sales to related parties
Time je dobivena marža sniženja cijena od 2,8 % umjesto marže od 4,5 % utvrđene u uvodnoj izjavi 68.
In the absence any comments with regard to the sales to related parties, the conclusions set out in recitals (102) to (103) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Privremene uredbe.
Imports from third countries
Predmetni proizvod iz ovog ispitnog postupka može se smatrati proizvodom široke potrošnje koji je vrlo osjetljiv na cijene.
The revised information presented in the tables, as set out in recital (103) of the provisional Regulation, is as follows:
Stoga se zaključuje da je čak i marža sniženja cijena od 2,8 % znatna i dovoljna da uzrokuje smanjenje cijena kako je objašnjeno u uvodnim izjavama 83., 84. i 98.
Country
Privremene uredbe.
Norway
Nakon konačne objave bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik tvrdio je i da bi se utjecaj nalaza navedenih u uvodnim izjavama 19. do 23. najvjerojatnije proširio na druge države članice, osobito u Francuskoj, gdje matično društvo jednog od talijanskih proizvođača ima društvo kćer sa snažnim položajem na tržištu.
Market share (%)
Međutim, u pogledu navodnog protutržišnog ponašanja u Italiji, AGCM je definirao relevantno zemljopisno tržište kao nacionalno.
Average price (EUR/tonne)
Osim toga, dokazi u spisu sažeti u uvodnim izjavama 19. do 23. sami po sebi ne podupiru takvu tvrdnju.
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Ta se tvrdnja stoga odbacuje.

F. UZROČNOST
The correction of the figures above did not have any impact on the findings in recital (104) of the provisional Regulation.
Učinak dampinškog uvoza
Indeed, throughout the period considered the prices of imports from the third countries were on average always higher than the prices of the Union industry.
Budući da nije bilo primjedaba u pogledu učinka dampinškog uvoza na gospodarsko stanje industrije Unije, potvrđuju se nalazi i zaključci iz uvodnih izjava 97. do 100.
The only exporting country with lower average prices than the Union industry was Belarus in the IP which was the same year when volumes of imports from Belarus increased most rapidly.
Privremene uredbe.
Therefore the Commission's findings in recital (104) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Učinak drugih čimbenika
With regard to the imports from third countries, the Belarusian exporting producer did not agree with the Commission's conclusion that individual market shares of third countries, with exception of Ukraine's, had increased only marginally.
Izvozni rezultati industrije Unije
The Belarusian exporting producer supported its opinion with imports statistics for the year 2016, which is a period subsequent to the IP.
Budući da nije bilo primjedaba u pogledu izvoznih rezultata industrije Unije, potvrđuje se zaključak iz uvodne izjave 101.
Furthermore, it pointed out to an alleged discrepancy between the import figures reported in table 6.3.3 of the provisional Regulation and available Eurostat statistics.
Privremene uredbe.
In response to this claim, it should first be noted that post IP trends and data are normally not taken into account in the injury and causation analysis.
Prodaja povezanim stranama
While the Commission agreed in the recital (111) of the provisional Regulation to collect and review certain post IP data, it was undertaken in the context of the claims concerning the impact of so called ‘VAT fraud scheme’, the alleged subsequent gap between demand and supply of the product concerned on the markets of Poland and the Baltic States, and the abnormally high level of IP export volumes from Belarus allegedly resulting from that scheme.
Budući da nije bilo primjedaba u pogledu prodaje povezanim stranama, potvrđuju se zaključci iz uvodnih izjava 102. i 103.
