Furthermore, employment was reduced by 5 %.
Tvrdili su da je zbog toga snažna povezanost dvaju postupaka dovela do potrebe za usklađivanjem nalaza o šteti i uzročnosti u oba postupka.
As a consequence, also the other injury indicators developed negatively.
Brazilski proizvođač izvoznik Usiminas postavio je pitanje i je li se stanje industrije Unije u samo šest mjeseci moglo pogoršati iz stanja u kojem postoji prijetnja štete u stanje materijalne štete, uzimajući u obzir da je u razdobljima ispitnog postupka za kineski postupak i ovaj postupak obuhvaćena druga polovina 2015.
The aftermath of the Eurozone debt crisis in 2013 impacted negatively the profitability in 2013, followed by a moderate recovery in 2014.
Zbog istih je razloga i rusko Ministarstvo gospodarskog razvoja od Komisije zatražilo da ponovno razmotri utvrđivanje materijalne štete nanesene industriji Unije u ovom postupku.
Thereafter, in the particular circumstances of this case, the Union producers sold the product concerned mainly from the second half of 2015 below costs in order to keep their market share.
Osim toga, Usiminas je tvrdio da se na temelju nekoliko pokazatelja de facto pokazalo stabilno ili tek blago negativno kretanje te da se stoga šteta koju je navodno pretrpjela industrija Unije ne može smatrati materijalnom.
All exporting producers from the four countries concerned sold at dumped prices and their prices in most cases undercut the prices of the Union steel producers, thus exerting significant pressure on sales prices of the Union industry.
U tom je pogledu taj proizvođač izvoznik uputio na blago smanjenje proizvodnje, obujma prodaje i zaposlenosti u Uniji.
Due to the losses incurred during the period considered as a result of the factors described above, the other indicators such as cash flow, return on investment followed the same downward trends as the profitability indicator.
Nadalje, taj je proizvođač izvoznik tvrdio da je smanjenje tržišnog udjela, iako znatnije, još uvijek bilo malo s obzirom na činjenicu da je industrija Unije zadržala vodeći tržišni udio od 76,7 % tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
Interested parties were informed with the disclosure of the Information Document that the Commission concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, and were given the opportunity to provide comments.
Komisija je priznala da su trenutačnim ispitnim postupkom obuhvaćeni potpuno isti predmetni i istovjetni proizvod kao u kineskim ispitnim postupcima.
The Russian exporting producers (MMK Group and Severstal Group) and the Russian Ministry of Economic Development claimed that it was impossible for the Commission to find material injury in the present proceeding since the Chinese proceedings [20] covered exactly the same product concerned and de facto exactly the same periods for the assessment of injury trends and causal link (until June 2016 and even September 2016).
Međutim, trenutačnim ispitnim postupkom i kineskim ispitnim postupcima nisu obuhvaćena ista razdoblja relevantna za procjenu kretanja štete i uzročno-posljedične veze.
For this reason, they alleged, the strong connection between the two proceedings led to the necessity to align the injury and causality findings in both proceedings.
Prije svega, ispitnim postupkom u vezi s dampingom i štetom u ovom ispitnom postupku obuhvaćeno je razdoblje od 1. srpnja 2015. do 30. lipnja 2016., dok je ispitivanjima kretanja relevantnih za procjenu štete obuhvaćeno razdoblje od 1. siječnja 2013. do 30. lipnja 2016.
The Brazilian exporting producer Usiminas also questioned whether the situation of the Union industry could have deteriorated from a situation in which there was a threat of injury into a situation of material injury in only six months, taking into consideration that the investigation periods for the Chinese proceeding and the present proceeding both covered the second half of 2015.
U kineskim ispitnim postupcima ispitnim postupkom u vezi s dampingom, subvencijom i štetom obuhvaćeno je razdoblje od 1. siječnja 2015. do 31. prosinca 2015., dok je ispitivanjem kretanja relevantnih za procjenu štete obuhvaćeno razdoblje od 1. siječnja 2012. do kraja 2015.
For these same reasons, the Russian Ministry of Economic Development also requested the Commission to reconsider the determination of the material injury to the Union industry in the current proceeding.
Iako je točno da postoji šestomjesečno preklapanje razdoblja ispitnog postupka između tih dvaju ispitnih postupaka (razdoblje od 1. srpnja 2015. do 31. prosinca 2015.), damping i šteta utvrđeni su na temelju razdoblja ispitnog postupka i razmatranog razdoblja koja se razlikuju u trenutačnom ispitnom postupku i u kineskim ispitnim postupcima te koja su već određena u skladu s relevantnim odredbama osnovne uredbe i najavljena u Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka.
Moreover, Usiminas alleged that several indicators in fact showed a stable or only a slightly negative trend and therefore that the injury allegedly suffered by the Union industry did not qualify as material.
To je jasno objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 115.
In this respect, this exporting producer referred to the slight decrease of the Union production, the sales volume and employment.
Provedbene uredbe Komisije (EU) 2017/649 [21] („Konačna uredba u pogledu Kine”) u kojoj se navodi: Komisija je smatrala da u ovom slučaju nije moguće zbrojiti dampinški uvoz spajanjem dviju istraga.
Furthermore, this exporting producer claimed that the decrease in market share, although more significant, was still minor in view of the fact that the Union industry retained a dominant market share of 76,7 % during the investigation period.
Pojmom uvoza u pogledu kojeg se „istodobno provodi antidampinški ispitni postupak” u skladu s člankom 3. stavkom 4. osnovne uredbe zahtijeva se da se uvozi obuhvaćeni istim ispitnim postupkom ili uvozi obuhvaćeni dvama različitim ispitnim postupcima obavljaju istodobno te da su njihova razdoblja provođenja ispitnog postupka jednaka ili da se u velikoj mjeri preklapaju.
The Commission acknowledged that the current investigation covers exactly the same product concerned and like product as the China investigations.
U ovom slučaju oba se ispitna postupka provode u različitim razdobljima i preklapaju se samo šest mjeseci.
However, the current investigation and the China investigations do not cover the same periods relevant for the assessment of trends for injury and causal link.
(326) U ovom je predmetu Komisija zaprimila dostatne dokaze za pokretanje postupka na temelju navoda o stvarnoj šteti, posebno zbog vrlo niskih cijena, tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
First of all, the investigation of dumping and injury in the present investigation covered the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016, whereas the examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2013 to 30 June 2016.
Za razliku od toga, kineski predmet odnosi se na prijetnju štete i njime je obuhvaćeno razdoblje ispitnog postupka koje djelomično prethodi razdoblju ispitnog postupka u ovom predmetu, što se ne temelji samo na kretanju cijena i obujma kineskog uvoza, nego i na budućem očekivanom ponašanju kineskih proizvođača izvoznika, posebno s obzirom na postojeće rezervne kapacitete.
For the China investigations, the investigation of dumping, subsidy and injury covered the period from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015, whereas the examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2012 to the end of 2015.
Na temelju sudske prakse Komisija je obvezna analizirati uzroke različitih čimbenika.
Although it is true that there is an overlap of six months concerning the investigation period between the two investigations (the period from 1 July 2015 to 31 December 2015), the determination of dumping and injury was made on the basis of an investigation period and a period considered which were different in the current investigation and the China investigations and which were already defined in line with the relevant provisions of the basic Regulation and announced in the Notice of Initiation.
U ovom je predmetu zbog uvoza iz četiriju zemalja prouzročena stvarna šteta industriji Unije u razdoblju ispitnog postupka u tom predmetu.
This was clearly explained in recital (115) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/649 [21] (the ‘definitive Regulation concerning China’), which states: ‘The Commission did not find it possible in this case to cumulate the dumped imports by merging the two investigations.
Neovisno o toj stvarnoj šteti, kineski uvoz predstavljao je dodatnu prijetnju štete za industriju Unije.
The concept of imports being ‘simultaneously subject to anti-dumping investigations,’ under Article 3(4) of the basic Regulation requires either imports that are under the same investigation or imports that are under two different investigations running simultaneously and that have the same or largely overlapping investigation periods.
Stoga, uzimajući u obzir razliku između tih dvaju razdoblja ispitnog postupka i nalaze utvrđene u ovom ispitnom postupku, prijetnjom štete iz Kine ne može se prekinuti uzročno-posljedična veza u predmetnom slučaju.
In the present case, both investigations have different investigation periods, with a six-month overlap of the IP only.’
Komisija je primijetila i da metoda upotrijebljena za izračun marže štete, koja se temelji na sniženju cijena zabilježenom u slučaju društava iz četiriju zemalja, već prema svojoj strukturi uključuje sve uzroke štete koju je Kina mogla prouzročiti uvozu iz tih četiriju zemalja.
In the present case, the Commission had received sufficient evidence for initiating a procedure based on the allegation of actual injury, in particular due to the very low pricing, during the investigation period.
U pogledu sumnji brazilskog proizvođača izvoznika je li se stanje industrije Unije u samo šest mjeseci moglo pogoršati iz stanja u kojem postoji prijetnja štete u stanje u kojem postoji materijalna šteta Komisija je usporedila razdoblje ispitnog postupka u predmetima u pogledu Kine s razdobljem ispitnog postupka u ovom predmetu te je utvrdila da se stanje industrije Unije doista pogoršalo u tom šestomjesečnom razdoblju.
The China case concerns, on the contrary, a threat of injury covering an investigation period partially preceding the investigation period in the present case, which is not only based on the pricing and volume development of Chinese imports, but also on the future expected behaviour of Chinese exporting producers in view in particular of the existing spare capacities.
U tom pogledu Komisija, na primjer, upućuje na daljnje smanjenje obujma proizvodnje, prodaje, zaposlenosti i prodajnih cijena proizvođača iz Unije te na pogoršanu negativnu financijsku situaciju (profitabilnost), kako je prikazano u tablici u nastavku.
The case law requires the Commission to carry out an attribution analysis of the different factors.
Tablica 17.
In the present case, imports from the four countries have caused actual injury to the Union industry in the investigation period of that case.
Usporedba nekih glavnih makroekonomskih i mikroekonomskih pokazatelja između „predmeta u pogledu Kine” i predmeta u pogledu pet zemalja za njihova odnosna razdoblja ispitnog postupka
Independent of that actual injury, Chinese imports constituted an additional threat of injury to the Union industry.
Uvodne izjave
Hence, given the difference in the two investigations periods and the findings made in the present investigation, the threat of injury from China cannot break the causal link in the case at hand.
2015. (razdoblje ispitnog postupka u kineskom predmetu)
The Commission also observed that the method used for calculating the injury margin, which is based on the underselling observed from companies from the four countries, includes, by its very design, any attribution of injury possibly caused by China to the imports from the four countries.
Obujam proizvodnje
Concerning the doubts of the Brazilian exporting producer whether the situation of the Union industry could have deteriorated from a situation in which there was a threat of injury into a situation where there was material injury in only six months, the Commission compared the investigation period in the China cases to the investigation period in the current case and found that indeed there was a deterioration of the Union industry situation in this 6-month period.
Obujam prodaje na slobodnom tržištu
In this regard, the Commission refers for instance to the further decrease in production volumes, sales volumes, employment, and sales prices of the Union producers and the worsened negative financial situation (profitability) as shown in the table below.

Gubitci proizvođača iz Unije u uzorku
2015 (investigation period in the China case)
U pogledu navoda da se na temelju nekoliko pokazatelja de facto pokazalo stabilno ili tek blago negativno kretanje te da se stoga šteta koju je navodno pretrpjela industrija Unije nije mogla smatrati materijalnom Komisija je uputila na daljnje pogoršanje glavnih pokazatelja štete, kako je utvrđeno u uvodnim izjavama od (316). do (319).
Production volumes
Komisija je utvrdila da je to pogoršanje bilo dovoljno kako bi se stanje industrije Unije moglo smatrati stanjem u kojem postoji materijalna šteta.
Sales volume on the free market
Nakon konačne objave ruski proizvođači izvoznici (MMK Group i Severstal Group) osporili su nalaz Komisije o materijalnoj šteti na temelju sljedećih razloga:
Market share of the Union producers on the free market
industrija Unije ostvarila je dobit od 8,6 % u razdoblju od siječnja do ožujka 2017. (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu (425).).
Employment
Uredbom kojom su uvedene antidampinške pristojbe u ispitnom postupku u pogledu toplovaljanih plosnatih proizvoda od čelika iz Kine [22], 6. travnja 2017. konačno je utvrđeno da do 31. prosinca 2015. nije bilo materijalne štete za industriju Unije u odnosu na predmetni proizvod.
Sales prices
Nadalje, nije bilo materijalne štete do 1. siječnja 2016. te je profitabilnost industrije Unije ponovno iznosila 2 % u razdoblju od 1. srpnja do 31. prosinca 2016.
Losses incurred by the sampled Union producers
(vidjeti i uvodnu izjavu (425).).
Concerning the allegation that several indicators in fact showed a stable or only a slightly negative trend and therefore that the injury allegedly suffered by the Union industry did not qualify as material, the Commission referred to the further deterioration of the main injury indicators as set out in recitals (316) to (319).
Sličnu je primjedbu dostavio brazilski proizvođač izvoznik Usiminas [23] koji je tvrdio da „želi pokazati da se usporedbom [24] ne pojašnjuje je li se stanje industrije Unije moglo u samo šest mjeseci pogoršati iz situacije u kojoj je postojala prijetnja štete u situaciju u kojoj je došlo do materijalne štete.”
The Commission found that such deterioration was sufficient to qualify the situation of the Union industry as one of material injury.
Umjereno pogoršanje gospodarskih pokazatelja od 2015. do RIP-a (vidjeti tablicu u uvodnoj izjavi (330).) ne može se procijeniti kao materijalno.
Following the final disclosure, the Russian exporting producers (MMK Group and Severstal Group) contested the Commission's finding on material injury on the following grounds:
Komisija je te argumente odbila zbog sljedećih razloga:
The Union industry achieved a profit of 8,6 % during the period January – March 2017 (see recital (425);
kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi (426)., u skladu s člankom 6. stavkom 1. osnovne uredbe zaključak o šteti donesen je na temelju provjerenih podataka za RIP.
On 6 April 2017, the regulation imposing anti-dumping duties in the investigation into hot-rolled flat steel products from China [22] definitively established the absence of material injury to the Union industry for the product concerned until 31 December 2015.
S druge strane, prikupljanje i provjera podataka iz razdoblja nakon RIP-a provedeni su u okviru analize interesa Unije.
Moreover, there was no material injury until 1 January 2016, and the profitability of the Union industry was again already 2 % in the period 1 July -31 December 2016 (see also recital (425));
U tablici u uvodnoj izjavi (301). prikazani su veliki gubitci od 2013. nadalje (s iznimkom 2014.).
A similar comment was submitted by the Brazilian exporting producer Usiminas [23] who argued that it ‘wishes to indicate that the comparison [24] does not explain whether the situation of the Union industry could have deteriorated from a situation in which there was a threat of injury into a situation where there was material injury in only six months.’
Čak i uzmu li se u obzir podatci iz razdoblja nakon RIP-a, industrija Unije i dalje je u štetnom stanju: dobit ostvarena u razdoblju od srpnja do prosinca 2016. i od siječnja do ožujka 2017. ne može nadoknaditi uzastopna razdoblja velikih gubitaka.
The moderate deterioration of economic indicators from 2015 to the IP (see the table under recital (330) cannot be assessed as material.
Nadalje, analiza štete temelji se na velikom broju čimbenika, a profitabilnost je samo jedan od njih;
The Commission rejected these arguments for the following reasons:
kad je riječ o uredbi kojom su uvedene antidampinške pristojbe za hladnovaljane plosnate čelične proizvode iz Kine, Komisija je uputila na svoje argumente iz uvodne izjave (325)., a posebno na činjenicu da se trenutačnim ispitnim postupkom i ispitnim postupcima u Kini ne obuhvaćaju ista razdoblja relevantna za procjenu kretanja štete i uzročno-posljedične veze;
As mentioned in recital (426), in accordance with Article 6(1) of the basic Regulation, the conclusion on injury was reached on the basis of verified IP data.
kad je riječ o pogoršanju gospodarskih pokazatelja, Komisija je ponovila da su se pogoršali svi glavni pokazatelji, što je za posljedicu imalo dodatna smanjenja obujma proizvodnje, prodaje, zaposlenosti i prodajnih cijena proizvođača iz Unije te pogoršanu negativnu financijsku situaciju (profitabilnost).
The collection and verification of post IP data, on the other hand, was done in the framework of the Union interest analysis.
To se samo po sebi može smatrati pokazateljem materijalne štete.
The table in recital (301) showed the high losses from the year 2013 onwards (exception made for the year 2014).
Na temelju prethodno navedenog Komisija je zaključila da je industrija Unije pretrpjela materijalnu štetu u smislu članka 3. stavka 5. osnovne uredbe.
Even taking into account post-IP data, the Union industry is still in an injurious situation: the profits achieved during the period July – December 2016 and January – March 2017 cannot compensate for the consecutive periods of high-end losses.
UZROČNOST
Furthermore, the injury analysis is based on a number of factors, of which profitability is only one of many;
U skladu s člankom 3. stavkom 6. osnovne uredbe Komisija je ispitala je li šteta nanesena industriji Unije prouzročena dampinškim uvozom iz Brazila, Irana, Rusije i Ukrajine.
Concerning the regulation imposing anti-dumping duties on cold-rolled flat steel products from China, the Commission referred to its arguments in recital (325) and in particular to the fact that the current investigation and the China investigations do not cover the same periods relevant for the assessment of trends for injury and causal link;
Komisija je u skladu s člankom 3. stavkom 7. osnovne uredbe ispitala i postoje li drugi poznati čimbenici koji su istodobno mogli uzrokovati štetu industriji Unije.
Concerning the deterioration of the economic indicators, the Commission reiterated that all main indicators deteriorated, characterised by a further decrease in production volumes, sales volumes, employment, and sales prices of the Union producers and the worsened negative financial situation (profitability).
Komisija je osigurala da se dampinškom uvozu ne pripisuje druga moguća šteta prouzročena čimbenicima koji nisu dampinški uvoz iz Brazila, Irana, Rusije i Ukrajine.
This in itself can be considered as an indicator of material injury.
Komisija je razmotrila sljedeće čimbenike: gospodarsku krizu, proizvođače iz Unije koji nisu dovoljno konkurentni, uvoz iz trećih zemalja, utjecaj stanja jednog talijanskog proizvođača čelika na sliku štete, rezultate izvozne prodaje proizvođača iz Unije, „prekomjeran kapacitet” europske industrije čelika i odnos cijena toplovaljanih plosnatih proizvoda na tržištu Unije, s jedne strane, te cijena sirovina i toplovaljanih plosnatih proizvoda u svijetu, s druge strane.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Učinci dampinškog uvoza iz Brazila, Irana, Rusije i Ukrajine
CAUSATION
Prodajne cijene proizvođača izvoznika prosječno su se smanjile sa 442 EUR/tona 2013. na 323 EUR/tona tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka (– 27 %).
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine.
Stalnim snižavanjem svoje jedinične prodajne cijene tijekom razmatranog razdoblja proizvođači izvoznici iz Brazila, Irana, Rusije i Ukrajine mogli su povećati svoj tržišni udio sa 7,45 % 2013. na 12,57 % u razdoblju ispitnog postupka, kako je prikazano u tablici u uvodnoj izjavi (262).
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
U usporedbi s prethodnim godinama, 2015. i u razdoblju ispitnog postupka znatno se povećao i obujam uvoza iz predmetnih zemalja.
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the dumped imports from Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Komisija je utvrdila da je povećanjem obujma i naglim smanjenjem cijena uvoza iz predmetnih zemalja tijekom razmatranog razdoblja prouzročena šteta industriji Unije.
The factors considered by the Commission were: the economic crisis, Union producers not being sufficiently competitive, imports from third countries, the impact of the situation of one Italian steel producer on the injury picture, the export sales performance of the Union producers, the ‘overcapacity’ of the European steel industry, and the correlation between HRF prices in the Union market, on the one hand, and raw material and HRF prices worldwide, on the other hand.
Zbog toga su, suočeni s agresivnom strategijom određivanja cijena proizvođača izvoznika iz predmetnih zemalja, i proizvođači iz Unije morali sniziti cijene i proizvode prodavati uz gubitak kako bi zadržali određenu razinu obujma prodaje i tržišnog udjela.
Effects of the dumped imports from Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine
To je, posljedično, negativno utjecalo na profitabilnost industrije koja je tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka pala na neodrživu razinu od – 7,8 %.
Sales prices of the exporting producers decreased on average from 442 EUR/tonne in 2013 to 323 EUR/tonne during the investigation period (– 27 %).
S obzirom na vremensku podudarnost, s jedne strane, razine dampinškog uvoza po cijenama koje su se stalno smanjivale i, s druge strane, smanjenja obujma prodaje i pada cijena industrije Unije koji su doveli do gubitaka Komisija je zaključila da je dampinškim uvozom prouzročena materijalna šteta industriji Unije.
By continuously lowering their unit sales price during the period considered, exporting producers from Brazil, Iran, Russia and Ukraine were able to increase their market share from 7,45 % in 2013 to 12,57 % in the investigation period, as shown in the table in recital (262).
Učinci drugih čimbenika
There was also a substantial increase in the volume of imports from the countries concerned in 2015 and the investigation period when compared to the previous years.
Gospodarska kriza
