Secondly, the Commission cannot base its finding concerning the effects of imports from third countries on post IP import figures presented by the interested party, since it should only analyse trends observed during the period considered (2012-2015), and on which it collected information during the investigation.
Privremene uredbe.
As explained in recital (39), in this investigation, the Commission assessed limited post IP data to address an exceptional situation, that is, the VAT fraud scheme.
Uvoz iz trećih zemalja
Thus, the findings of recital (104) of the provisional Regulation which relate to changes of market shares of third countries during the period under consideration, which ends in 2015, were confirmed.
Revidirane informacije predstavljene u tablicama, kako je utvrđeno u uvodnoj izjavi 103.
Even if the development of imports from third countries after IP were taken into account, it would not change the Commission's conclusion on the potential impact of these imports on the situation of the Union industry, as those prices remained higher than prices of imports from Belarus.
Privremene uredbe, sljedeće su:
Finally, with regard to the alleged discrepancy between the import figures reported in the provisional Regulation and Eurostat statistics, it should be noted that the latter statistics include also import volumes of so-called high fatigue performance bars which are not part of the product scope of this procedure and were not reported in table 6.3.3 of the provisional Regulation [6].

Taking into account the above, the claims of the Belarussian exporting producer concerning the impact of third countries' imports are rejected.

In the absence of other comments with regard to the imports from third countries, the conclusions set out in recital (104) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.

Impact of the so-called ‘VAT fraud scheme’
Turska
The Belarusian exporting producer reiterated in its submission the comments made at the provisional stage of the investigation with regard to the impact of the so-called VAT fraud scheme on the Union market, and claimed the Commission had failed to discharge its duty of investigating the matter.
Ukrajina
According to the exporting producer, this scheme was the main reason for the financial difficulties of some Union producers.
Prosječna cijena
As a result of this fraud scheme two producers located in Latvia (in early 2013) and Slovakia (in late 2014) went bankrupt and stopped production of the like product.
Ostatak svijeta
Furthermore, one Union producer in Poland stopped the production of the like product for 3 months in 2014 due to upgrading its machinery.
Ispravak prethodno navedenih brojki nije utjecao na nalaze u uvodnoj izjavi 104.
All these events together allegedly led to a shortage of supply mainly on the Polish and on the Baltic markets from 2013 onwards.
Privremene uredbe.
This alleged gap would have been filled by the Belarusian exports.
Doista, tijekom razmatranog razdoblja cijene uvezenih proizvoda iz trećih zemalja prosječno su uvijek bile više od cijena industrije Unije.
The Belarusian exporting producer further claimed that, because of the VAT scheme, the year 2015 (IP) was an ‘unusual year’ in terms of high volumes of the product concerned exported to the Union and that export volumes started to decrease already at the end of the IP and continued decreasing after the IP.
Bjelarus je jedina zemlja izvoznica čije su prosječne cijene bile niže od cijena industrije Unije u RIP-u, i to iste godine u kojoj se obujam uvoza iz Bjelarusa najbrže povećao.
In response to these claims, the Commission first looked into the exports data provided by the Belarusian statistics office and noted the following.
Stoga se potvrđuju nalazi Komisije iz uvodne izjave 104.
The increase in the volume of exports by the exporting producer to the Union correlated with the decrease in the volume exports of the exporting producer to the Russian market.
Privremene uredbe.
As described in the table below, between 2013 and 2015, the Belarusian exporting producer decreased its sales to Russia significantly by around 370000 tonnes and increased its sales to the Union market by approximately the same amount, i.e. 380000 tonnes.
U pogledu uvoza iz trećih zemalja bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik nije se složio sa zaključkom Komisije da su se pojedinačni tržišni udjeli trećih zemalja, osim Ukrajine, samo neznatno povećali.

Iako je Komisija u uvodnoj izjavi 111.
Exports to Baltic States
Privremene uredbe pristala prikupljati i provjeriti određene podatke nakon RIP-a, to je učinjeno u kontekstu tvrdnji o utjecaju tzv. sustava prijevare s PDV-om, navodnog kasnijeg jaza između potražnje i ponude predmetnog proizvoda na tržištu Poljske i baltičkih država te neuobičajeno velikog obujma izvoza iz Bjelarusa tijekom RIP-a koji je navodno rezultat tih prijevara.
Exports to Poland
Kao drugo, Komisija ne može temeljiti svoj nalaz o utjecaju uvoza iz trećih zemalja na podacima o uvozu nakon RIP-a koje je iznijela zainteresirana strana jer bi trebala analizirati samo kretanja zabilježena tijekom razmatranog razdoblja (2012. – 2015.) i o kojima je prikupila informacije tijekom ispitnog postupka.
Exports to Other Member States
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 39., u ovom ispitnom postupku Komisija je ocijenila ograničene podatke nakon RIP-a kako bi se odgovorilo na izvanrednu situaciju, odnosno sustav prijevare s PDV-om.
Concerning 2013, Polish and Baltic states' markets were faced with the decrease of production of one Polish producer and the stop of production of one Latvian producer.
Privremene uredbe koji se odnose na promjene tržišnih udjela trećih zemalja tijekom razmatranog razdoblja koje završava 2015.
Moreover, from 1 October 2013 the Polish government applied reverse charge VAT mechanisms to some 40 steel products, from fencing and pipes to finished flat-steel products as well as rebars, and thus tackling the VAT fraud scheme.
Čak i ako se uzme u obzir razvoj uvoza iz trećih zemalja nakon RIP-a, to ne bi promijenilo zaključak Komisije o mogućem učinku tog uvoza na stanje industrije Unije jer su te cijene ostale više od cijena proizvoda uvezenih iz Bjelarusa.
The analysis of the export sales from Belarus to the Union market showed that the Belarusian exporting producer sales to Poland and the Baltic States remained stable, at around 110000 tonnes compared with 2012.
Konačno, u pogledu navodne nepodudarnosti podataka o uvozu navedenih u Privremenoj uredbi i statističkih podataka Eurostata, trebalo bi napomenuti da ti statistički podaci uključuju i obujam uvoza tzv. šipki visoke otpornosti na zamor koje nisu obuhvaćene opsegom proizvoda iz ovog postupka i nisu bile navedene u tablici 6.3.3.
Therefore it is concluded that the Belarusian exporting producer did not take advantage of the alleged shortage of supply by the Union production in 2013 and that the other Union producers present in the market were able to supply the market either from stocks or by re-directing export sales to these markets [7].
Privremene uredbe [6].
Concerning 2014, one Polish producer stopped production for one quarter in order to upgrade its machinery and one Slovak producer stopped its production in August 2014 (the company was declared in bankruptcy in February 2015).
Uzimajući u obzir gore navedeno, odbacuju se tvrdnje bjelaruskog proizvođača izvoznika koje se odnose na utjecaj uvoza iz trećih zemalja.
The analysis of the export sales from Belarus to the Union market showed that the Belarusian exporting producer sales to Poland and the Baltic States indeed increased by around 75000 tonnes.
Privremene uredbe.
Therefore the argument that the Belarusian exporting producer increased its sales to the Union market only because of the exceptional market situation in Poland and the Baltic states is rejected, as it also increased (at even higher pace) its sales to other parts of the Union market where no exceptional circumstances existed.
Budući da nije bilo primjedaba u pogledu kretanja troškova, potvrđuje se zaključak iz uvodne izjave 105.
Concerning the investigation period, the Latvian producer re-opened in March 2015.
Privremene uredbe.
The Polish production was back to normal.
Učinak tzv. sustava prijevare s PDV-om
Despite this, the Belarusian exporting producer increased its sales to Poland even further and it maintained its sales to the Baltic States compared to 2014.
Prema navodima proizvođača izvoznika taj je sustav glavni razlog za financijske poteškoće nekih proizvođača iz Unije.
Moreover the sharpest increase took place on other parts of the Union market (mainly in Bulgaria, the Netherlands, and Germany).
Kao posljedica tog sustava prijevare dva proizvođača u Latviji (početkom 2013.) i Slovačkoj (krajem 2014.) završila su u stečaju i prekinula proizvodnju istovjetnog proizvoda.
Therefore, it is concluded that the increase of the Belarusian exports to the European Union was not due to the gap between demand and supply in the Union market but to the redirection of the volume lost on the Russian market.
Nadalje, jedan proizvođač iz Unije u Poljskoj prekinuo je proizvodnju istovjetnog proizvoda tijekom 3 mjeseca u 2014. zbog modernizacije svojih strojeva.
Thus, the claim of inadequate assessment of the impact of the VAT fraud scheme in the provisional determination is unfounded and is, therefore, rejected.
Svi ti događaji zajedno navodno su doveli do nedostatne opskrbe uglavnom na poljskom i baltičkim tržištima od 2013. nadalje.
In accordance with recital (111) of the provisional Regulation the Commission assessed the volume imports after the investigation period.
Taj navodni manjak bio bi riješen bjelaruskim izvozom.
The data showed that the imports from Belarus decreased somewhat, but they were still well above the 2013 levels and more or less at 2014 levels.
Bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik tvrdio je i da je, zbog sustava u vezi s PDV-om, 2015.
Therefore the argument that the increase of imports from Belarus was temporary in nature and was explained by the particular market situation on certain Union market segments is rejected.
(RIP) bila „neuobičajena godina” u pogledu velikog obujma izvoza predmetnog proizvoda u Uniju te da se obujam izvoza počeo smanjivati već krajem RIP-a i nastavio smanjivati nakon RIP-a.
In the absence of other comments with regard to the VAT fraud scheme and post IP developments, the findings and conclusions set out in recitals (106) to (111) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Kao odgovor na te tvrdnje Komisija je prvo razmotrila podatke o izvozu bjelaruskog ureda za statistiku i zabilježila sljedeće.
Conclusion on causation
Povećanje obujma izvoza proizvođača izvoznika u Uniju bilo je u korelaciji sa smanjenjem obujma izvoza tog proizvođača izvoznika na rusko tržište.
In summary, the Commission considers that none of the arguments put forward by the interested parties after the provisional disclosure were able to alter the provisional findings which established a causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Kako je opisano u tablici u nastavku, između 2013. i 2015. bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik znatno je smanjio svoju prodaju u Rusiju, odnosno za oko 370000 tona i povećao svoju prodaju na tržištu Unije za otprilike istu količinu, odnosno 380000 tona.
Thus, the conclusions set out in recitals (112) to (115) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Izvor: izvaci bjelaruskog ureda za statistiku
The Commission has found that the only other factor that may have had an impact on the situation of the Union industry was imports from third countries, as stated in the recital (104) of the provisional Regulation.
Ukupna izvozna prodaja
However, the Commission concluded that those imports could not break the causal link between Belarusian dumped imports and the material injury found to the Union industry and that the dumped imports from Belarus remained the main cause of injury.
Indeks 2012. = 100
Based on the above analysis, which distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is concluded that the dumped imports from Belarus caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Izvoz u Rusiju
G. UNION INTEREST
Ukupan izvoz u EU
Interest of the Union industry
Izvoz u baltičke države
In the absence of any comments with regard to the interest of the Union industry, the conclusions set out in recitals (117) to (122) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Izvoz u Poljsku
Interest of users and importers
Izvoz u druge države članice
The Belarusian exporting producer claimed in its submissions that the Commission's assessment of Union interest did not take into account particular problems of importers and users located in the Baltic States.
Kao drugo, Komisija je ocijenila situaciju na poljskom tržištu i tržištu baltičkih država.
It claimed that, due to logistic reasons (such as, railway connections or certificate requirements), Belarus is the only source of supply of rebars for those companies.
U pogledu 2013., poljsko tržište i tržište baltičkih država pogodilo je smanjenje proizvodnje jednog poljskog proizvođača i prekid proizvodnje jednog latvijskog proizvođača.
In this regard, the Commission confirmed that the only cooperating user located in the Baltic States experienced certain technical problems with deliveries from the Union producers (none of them being located in the Baltic States).
Nadalje, od 1. listopada 2013. poljska vlada primjenjuje mehanizme obrnutog oporezivanja PDV-om na oko 40 proizvoda od čelika, od ograda i cijevi do gotovih plosnatih proizvoda od čelika te šipki za armiranje betona, kao odgovor na sustav prijevare s PDV-om.
On the other hand, this company stated that purchases from Belarus could be, and in the post IP period effectively were, replaced by purchases from Russia and to some extent also from Ukraine.
U pogledu 2014., jedan poljski proizvođač prekinuo je proizvodnju tijekom jednog tromjesečja radi modernizacije svojih strojeva, a jedan slovački proizvođač prekinuo je proizvodnju u kolovozu 2014. (proglasio je stečaj u veljači 2015.).
Furthermore, the Commission received very low cooperation from the companies located in the Baltic States, which seems to indicate that they do not perceive that they would be negatively affected by potential antidumping measures concerning Belarusian imports of the product concerned.
Količina koja nije bila dostupna kao rezultat tih događaja procijenjena je na oko 133000 tona.
In the absence of other comments with regard to the interest of the users and importers, the conclusions set out in recitals (123) to (131) and recital (134) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Analiza izvozne prodaje iz Bjelarusa na tržište Unije pokazala je da se prodaja bjelaruskog proizvođača izvoznika u Poljsku i baltičke države doista povećala za oko 75000 tona.
Potential absorption of the duties
Međutim proizvođač izvoznik povećao je svoju prodaju i na drugim tržištima Unije kao što je njemačko od minimalne količine na oko 120000 tona.
In its submission after the provisional disclosure, the complainant claimed that the level of antidumping duty proposed at provisional stage (12,5 %) would not be sufficient, as the measure could easily be absorbed by the Belarusian exporting producer, which is a state-owned company, located in a non-market economy country with alleged favourable access to the subsidized raw material metal scrap.
Stoga je odbačen argument da je bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik povećao svoju prodaju na tržištu Unije samo zbog izvanredne situacije na tržištu u Poljskoj i baltičkim zemljama jer je (još brže) povećao i prodaju u drugim dijelovima tržišta Unije gdje nije bilo iznimnih okolnosti.
With regard to this claim, it should be stressed that the potential absorption can only be a matter of a separate anti-absorption investigation on the basis of Article 12 of the basic Regulation and cannot affect in advance the level of antidumping measures imposed in the original investigation.
Stoga u tim dijelovima tržišta Unije više nije bilo iznimne situacije na tržištu.
Furthermore, the evidence available in this investigation does not support the allegation of the easy access to a subsidized raw material by the Belarusian producer; in fact, the Commission found that the company purchases most of its raw material from Russia and Ukraine, countries considered as market economies.
Stoga se zaključuje da povećanje bjelaruskog izvoza u Europsku uniju nije bilo posljedica jaza između potražnje i ponude na tržištu Unije nego preusmjeravanja obujma izgubljenog na ruskom tržištu.
Strategic importance of the EU-Belarus cooperation in the steel sector
Stoga je tvrdnja o neodgovarajućoj procjeni učinka sustava prijevara s PDV-om u privremenoj odluci neutemeljena i zato odbačena.
In its submission after the provisional disclosure, the Belarussian exporting producer and the Belarussian authorities referred to the strategic importance of the cooperation with the EU in the steel sector, and the fact that measures may negatively affect Belarusian purchases of capital equipment in the Union, the establishment of network of related trading companies in the Union, and any cooperation with European financial institutions.
U skladu s uvodnom izjavom 111.
In response to this point, the Commission underlines that the measures have as sole purpose to restore a level playing field on the Union market.
Privremene uredbe Komisija je ocijenila obujam uvoza nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
It is not of a punitive nature.
Budući da nije bilo drugih primjedaba u pogledu sustava prijevara s PDV-om i kretanja nakon RIP-a, potvrđuju se nalazi i zaključci iz uvodnih izjava 106. do 111.
If the exporting producer increases its prices durably, so that dumping ceases to exist, it can ask for a refund and an interim review.
Privremene uredbe.
Therefore, the Commission does not consider those considerations to be relevant for the assessment of Union interest.
Zaključak o uzročnosti
Conclusion on Union interest
Ukratko, Komisija smatra da zainteresirane strane nakon privremene objave nisu iznijele argumente koji bi mogli promijeniti privremene nalaze kojima je utvrđena uzročno-posljedična veza između dampinškog uvoza i materijalne štete koju je pretrpjela industrija Unije tijekom RIP-a.
In summary, none of the arguments put forward by the interested parties demonstrates that there are compelling reasons against the imposition of measures on imports of the product concerned from Belarus.
Stoga se potvrđuju zaključci iz uvodnih izjava 112. do 115.
Any negative effects on unrelated users and importers can be mitigated by the availability of alternative sources of supply.
Privremene uredbe.
Moreover, when considering the overall impact of the anti-dumping measures on the Union market, the positive effects, in particular on the Union industry, appear to outweigh the potential negative impacts on the other interested parties.
Komisija je utvrdila da je jedini drugi čimbenik koji je mogao utjecati na stanje u industriji Unije bio uvoz iz trećih zemalja, kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 104.
Thus, the conclusions set out in recitals (135) to (137) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Privremene uredbe.
H. DEFINITIVE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Međutim, Komisija je zaključila da taj uvoz nije mogao prekinuti uzročno-posljedičnu vezu između bjelaruskog dampinškog uvoza i materijalne štete utvrđene za industriju Unije te da je dampinški uvoz iz Bjelarusa i dalje glavni uzrok štete.
Injury elimination level (injury margin)
Na temelju prethodne analize, u kojoj su razlikovani i razdvojeni učinci svih poznatih čimbenika na stanje industrije Unije od štetnih učinaka dampinškog uvoza, zaključuje se da je dampinškim uvozom iz Bjelarusa prouzročena materijalna šteta industriji Unije u smislu članka 3. stavka 6.
Target profit
Osnovne uredbe.
Following provisional disclosure, the Union industry contested the target profit used in order to determine the injury elimination level as set out in recital (143) of the provisional Regulation.
G. INTERES UNIJE
The same claims were reiterated after final disclosure.
Interes industrije Unije
The target profit used in the provisional injury margin calculations amounted to 4,8 %.
Budući da nije bilo primjedaba u pogledu interesa industrije Unije, potvrđuju se zaključci iz uvodnih izjava 117. do 122.
This figure was based on the 2012 profit margin found for a very similar product, HFP rebars, and used in the recent anti-dumping procedure concerning imports of HFP rebars originating in China [8].
Privremene uredbe.
The complainant in its submission contested the use of the same target profit used in the HFP rebars investigation and claimed that these two products and their respective markets are different.
Interes korisnika i uvoznika
The complainant suggested using a target profit even higher than originally proposed in the complaint, 16 % or 17 %, which was the profit achieved by the Union producers in 2006 or considered ‘desirable in the long term for the sound steel industry’ [9].
Bjelaruski proizvođač izvoznik tvrdio je u svojim podnescima da u Komisijinoj ocjeni interesa Unije nisu uzeti u obzir posebni problemi uvoznika i korisnika iz baltičkih država.
In this regard, the target profit used in these proceedings, which the Commission found to be the most appropriate, is based on the figure actually achieved in 2012 (which is within the period considered) by the Union producers of a very similar product manufactured to a large extent using the same facilities for production of the product concerned in this investigation.
Tvrdio je da je zbog logističkih razloga (primjerice, željezničkih veza ili zahtjeva certificiranja) Bjelarus jedini izvor opskrbe šipkama za armiranje betona za ta trgovačka društva.
It is also recalled that in the complaint EUROFER requested a target profit of 9,9 %, which was used in an investigation on wire rod, a product definitely more distant from the product concerned than HFP rebars.
U tom pogledu Komisija je potvrdila da je jedini korisnik iz baltičkih država koji surađuje imao određenih tehničkih problema s isporukama proizvođača iz Unije (pri čemu nijedan od njih nije bio iz baltičkih država).
Finally, the purpose of the establishment of the injury margin is to remove the part of injury caused by dumped imports, but not by other factors such as the economic crisis.
S druge strane, to je društvo izjavilo da bi se nabava iz Bjelarusa mogla zamijeniti (a u razdoblju nakon RIP-a to se doista i dogodilo) nabavom iz Rusije te u određenoj mjeri i iz Ukrajine.
While the profit of 1,3 %, which was the only profit achieved by the Union industry in the period considered [10], was found to be inappropriate due to the impact of the VAT fraud scheme, it appears more congruous to use a profit margin that was achieved by the industry in the same period, verified and found appropriate for a very similar product in an antidumping procedure with mostly overlapping periods.
Osim toga, društva koja se nalaze u baltičkim državama vrlo su slabo surađivala s Komisijom, što bi moglo značiti da ne smatraju da bi na njih mogle negativno utjecati moguće antidampinške mjere u pogledu bjelaruskog uvoza predmetnog proizvoda.
The claim of the Union industry is therefore rejected.
Budući da nije bilo drugih primjedaba u pogledu interesa korisnika i uvoznika, potvrđuju se zaključci iz uvodnih izjava 123. do 131. i uvodne izjave 134.
