The Appellate Body has further explained that ‘the facts available’ refers to those facts that are in the possession of the investigating authority and on its written record.
Kako je prethodno objašnjeno, kineska vlada u početku je surađivala s Komisijom i odgovorila na upitnik.
As determinations made under Article 12.7 are to be made on the basis of ‘the facts available’, ‘they cannot be made on the basis of non-factual assumptions or speculation.’
Međutim, budući da je taj odgovor bio nepotpun, Komisija je 2. rujna 2016. poslala pismo za dopunu podataka.
Furthermore, in reasoning and evaluating which facts available can reasonably replace the missing information, ‘all substantiated facts on the record must be taken into account’ by an investigating authority.
Nakon što je primila to pismo za dopunu podataka kineska vlada obavijestila je Komisiju 23. rujna 2016. o svojoj odluci da prekine suradnju.
Where there are several facts available to an investigating authority that it needs to choose from, ‘it would seem to follow naturally that the process of reasoning and evaluation would involve a degree of comparison’ in order to arrive at an accurate determination.
Komisija nije primila nikakve odgovore na posebne upitnike namijenjene Kineskoj razvojnoj banci, EXIM-u, Poljoprivrednoj banci Kine, Sinesureu ili svim ostalim financijskim ili osiguravateljskim institucijama za koje kineska vlada zna da su pružale zajmove industriji premazanog finog papira.
The evaluation of the ‘facts available’ that is required, and the form it may take, depend on the particular circumstances of a given case, including the nature, quality, and amount of evidence on the record and the particular determinations to be made.
Komisija je obavijestila sve zainteresirane strane o posljedicama nesuradnje i dala im je priliku da dostave primjedbe.
The nature and extent of the explanation and analysis required will necessarily vary from determination to determination [10].
Nije primila nikakve primjedbe u vezi s tim.
Accordingly, the Commission used for its analysis all facts available to it, in particular:
U skladu s člankom 28.
the request for an expiry review under Article 18 of the basic Regulation concerning anti-subsidy duties on imports of Coated Fine Paper from China, of 11 February 2016;
Osnovne uredbe Komisija je smatrala da je upotreba najboljih raspoloživih podataka nužna kako bi se ispitao nastavak subvencioniranja u industriji papira u NRK-u.
the response to the anti-subsidy questionnaire provided by the GOC on 24 June 2016.
S obzirom na raspoložive podatke, Žalbeno tijelo podsjetilo je da se člankom 12.7.
The information in this response due to the fact that the GOC stopped cooperation was neither verified, nor completed following the deficiency letter;
Sporazuma o subvencijama i kompenzacijskim mjerama dopušta upotreba elemenata iz spisa isključivo za potrebe zamjene informacija koje nedostaju kako bi se precizno odredilo subvencioniranje ili šteta.
the submission filed on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China in the framework of this investigation;
U skladu s tim, Žalbeno tijelo objasnilo je da „mora postojati veza između „potrebnih informacija” koje nedostaju i određenih „raspoloživih podataka” na kojima se temelji određivanje iz članka 12.7.”.
the information provided by the GOC and the sampled exporting producers as well as the findings of the original investigation; and
Stoga „se tijelo koje provodi ispitni postupak mora koristiti onim „raspoloživim podacima” kojima se „objektivno zamjenjuju informacije koje zainteresirana strana nije dostavila” kako bi se došlo do preciznog određivanja”.
previous anti-subsidy investigations carried out by the Commission against other encouraged industries in the PRC, such as crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, both the original investigation (‘the solar panels original investigation’) [11] and the expiry review (‘the solar panels expiry review’) [12], filament glass fibre products [13], solar glass [14] and organic coated steel [15].
Žalbeno tijelo dalje je objasnilo da se „raspoloživi podaci” odnose na podatke koje tijelo koje provodi ispitni postupak posjeduje i koje ima u svom spisu.
Subsidies and subsidy programmes examined in the current investigation
Budući da se određivanja iz članka 12.7. vrše na temelju „raspoloživih podataka”, „ne može ih se donijeti na temelju nečinjeničnih pretpostavki ili spekulacija”.
In view of the lack of cooperation by the GOC and the exporting producers mentioned above, the Commission decided to examine whether there was continuation of subsidisation as follows.
Nadalje, kada rasuđuje i procjenjuje kojim se raspoloživim podacima mogu objektivno zamijeniti informacije koje nedostaju, tijelo koje provodi ispitni postupak „mora uzeti u obzir sve potvrđene podatke iz spisa”.
First, the Commission examined whether the subsidies countervailed in the original investigation continued to confer benefit to the coated fine paper industry.
Žalbeno tijelo objasnilo je da utvrđivanje „objektivne zamjene za „potrebne informacije” koje nedostaju podrazumijeva proces rasuđivanja i procjene” koji provodi tijelo koje provodi ispitni postupak.
Subsequently, the Commission analysed whether the coated fine paper industry benefitted from new subsidies as alleged in the request (i.e. subsidies which were not countervailed in the original investigation).
Ako je tijelu koje provodi ispitni postupak na raspolaganju nekoliko podataka među kojima mora odabrati, „logično slijedi da proces rasuđivanja i procjene podrazumijeva usporedbu” kako bi se došlo do preciznog određenja.
The Commission decided that, in view of the findings of existence of continued subsidisation with respect to most of the subsidies countervailed in the original investigation as well as new subsidies, there was no need to investigate all the other subsidies alleged to exist by the complainant.
Procjena „raspoloživih podataka” koja je potrebna i njezin oblik ovise o posebnim okolnostima određenog slučaja, uključujući prirodu, kvalitetu i količinu dokaza u spisu te određenja koja treba donijeti.
Indeed, pursuant to Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the Commission should examine whether there is evidence of continued subsidisation, regardless of its amount.
Priroda i stupanj potrebnog objašnjenja i analize razlikuju se od jednog određivanja do drugog [10].
Subsidies countervailed in the original investigation
U skladu s tim, Komisija se u analizi koristila svim podacima koje je imala na raspolaganju, a osobito sljedećim:
I. Preferential lending
zahtjevom za reviziju zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera u skladu s člankom 18.
In the original investigation the Commission established the ad valorem subsidy amount with regard to this measure was 5,37 % for the APP Group [16] and 1,26 % for the Chenming Group [17].
Osnovne uredbe u vezi s antisubvencijskim pristojbama na uvoz premazanog finog papira iz Kine od 11. veljače 2016.;
Government intervention in favour of the coated fine paper industry
podneskom koji je u okviru ovog ispitnog postupka podnesen u ime Ministarstva trgovine Narodne Republike Kine;
The Commission first examined whether preferential lending forms part of the implementation of the GOC's central planning, which aims to encourage the development of the papermaking industry, as was the case in the original investigation.
informacijama koje su dostavili kineska vlada i proizvođači izvoznici u uzorku te nalazima početnog ispitnog postupka i
The coated fine paper industry that was subject to the Commission's investigation constitutes part of a wider category of the paper industry, also referred to as papermaking industry.
prethodnim antisubvencijskim ispitnim postupcima koje je Komisija provodila u vezi s drugim poticanim industrijama u NRK-u, kao što su kristalni silicijski fotonaponski moduli, uključujući početni ispitni postupak („početni ispitni postupak o solarnim pločama [11]”) i reviziju zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera („revizija zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera za solarne ploče [12]”), proizvodi od filamentnih staklenih vlakana [13], solarno staklo [14] i organski prevučeni čelik [15].
The applicant alleged that the GOC continues to subsidise its paper industry and referred to a number of policy and planning documents as well as legislation which are the basis for continuation of the State support to this industry.
Subvencije i programi subvencija koji se ispituju u trenutačnom ispitnom postupku
In the original investigation the Commission established the existence of specific policy plans with respect to the paper industry.
S obzirom na izostanak suradnje kineske vlade i prethodno navedenih proizvođača izvoznika Komisija je odlučila ispitati je li se subvencioniranje nastavilo na sljedeći način.
These plans stipulated that the government authorities closely monitor the performance of the paper industry and implement special policies (e.g. implementing decrees) for the fulfilment of the goals of the policy plans.
Komisija je prvo ispitala je li industrija premazanog finog papira i dalje ostvarivala koristi od subvencija protiv kojih su u početnom ispitnom postupku uvedene kompenzacijske mjere.
Furthermore, the investigation also established that the specific policy plans provide for preferential lending to the paper making industry.
Komisija je zatim analizirala je li industrija premazanog finog papira ostvarivala koristi od novih subvencija kako je navedeno u zahtjevu (tj. od subvencija protiv kojih u početnom ispitnom postupku nisu uvedene kompenzacijske mjere).
The Commission in the current investigation established that the financial market in the PRC continues to be distorted by the interventions of the GOC.
S obzirom da je utvrdila da se subvencioniranje nastavilo za većinu subvencija protiv kojih su u početnom ispitnom postupku uvedene kompenzacijske mjere te za nove subvencije, Komisija je odlučila da nije potrebno ispitivati sve ostale subvencije za koje je podnositelj pritužbe tvrdio da postoje.
The findings of the original investigation based on government plans in force at that time are upheld in this expiry review investigation.
Doista, u skladu s člankom 18.
Both the 12th Five-Year Plan [18] applicable during the RIP and the previous 11th Five-Year Plan continue to indicate the paper industry as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
Osnovne uredbe Komisija bi trebala ispitivati postoje li dokazi o nastavku subvencioniranja neovisno o njegovu iznosu.
The 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) concerns the period following the review investigation period, but confirms the continuation of subsidisation also in the future.
Subvencije protiv kojih su u početnom ispitnom postupku uvedene kompenzacijske mjere
Indeed, the 13th Five-Year Plan singles out the paper industry as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
I. Davanje povlaštenih zajmova
In the original investigation the Commission established with reference to the ‘Decision No 40 of the State Council’ [19] (‘Decision No 40’), that this act is an order from the State Council, i.e. the highest administrative body in the PRC, and so legally binding on other public bodies and economic operators.
Komisija je u početnom ispitnom postupku utvrdila da je iznos subvencije ad valorem s obzirom na tu mjeru iznosio 5,37 % za grupaciju APP [16] i 1,26 % za grupaciju Chenming [17].
It classified the industrial sectors into ‘Encouraged, Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’.
Vladine intervencije u korist industrije premazanog finog papira
This Act represented a binding industrial policy document that shows how the GOC maintains a policy of supporting groups of enterprises or industries, such as the paper industry, classified by the Directory Catalogue as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
Komisija je prvo ispitala je li davanje povlaštenih zajmova dio provedbe središnjeg planiranja kineske vlade kojim se nastoji potaknuti razvoj industrije proizvodnje papira, kao što je to bio slučaj u početnom ispitnom postupku.
On the basis of the GOC's submission in this investigation, the Commission confirmed that Decision No 40 is still in force.
Industrija premazanog finog papira koja je bila predmet ispitnog postupka Komisije dio je šire kategorije industrije papira, koju se naziva i industrijom proizvodnje papira.
With respect to the number of industries listed as ‘Encouraged’, there are in total 26, representing only a portion of the Chinese economy.
Podnositelj zahtjeva tvrdio je da kineska vlada i dalje subvencionira svoju industriju papira i naveo je niz dokumenata o politici i planovima te zakonodavstvo na kojima se temelji nastavak državne potpore toj industriji.
Furthermore, only certain activities within these 26 sectors are given ‘encouraged’ status.
Komisija je u početnom ispitnom postupku utvrdila da postoje posebni planovi politike za industriju papira.
Article 17 of Decision No 40 also stipulates that the ‘Encouraged investment projects’ shall benefit from specific privileges and incentives (financial support, import duty exemption, VAT exemption, tax exemption).
U tim se planovima određivalo da državne vlasti pomno prate uspješnost industrije papira i provode posebne politike (npr. provedbenim dekretima) za ostvarenje ciljeva planova politike.
With reference to the ‘Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’, Decision No 40 empowers the State authorities to intervene directly to regulate the market.
Nadalje, ispitnim postupkom utvrdilo se i da se posebnim planovima politike predviđa davanje povlaštenih zajmova industriji proizvodnje papira.
In fact, Articles 18 and 19 require the relevant authority to stop financial institutions from supplying loans; they also order the State price administrative department to raise the electricity price and instruct the electricity supply companies to stop supplying electricity to such ‘Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’.
Komisija je u trenutačnom ispitnom postupku utvrdila da se financijsko tržište u NRK-u i dalje narušava intervencijama kineske vlade.
It is obvious from the above that Decision No 40 provides binding rules and instructions to all the economic institutions and entities in the form of directives on the promotion and support of encouraged industries, one of which is the paper making industry.
Nalazi početnog ispitnog postupka doneseni na temelju vladinih planova koji su tada bili na snazi ovim se ispitnim postupkom revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera potvrđuju.
The Commission established in the current investigation that a number of policy documents indicate the paper industry explicitly as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
I 12. petogodišnji plan [18] primjenjiv tijekom RIPR-a i prethodni 11. petogodišnji plan ukazuju na to da je industrija papira „poticana industrija”.
This concerns in particular the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Paper Industry.
Trinaesti petogodišnji plan (2016. – 2020.) odnosi se na razdoblje nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije, ali njime se potvrđuje nastavak subvencioniranja i u budućnosti.
This plan is implemented by the 12th Five-Year Industrial Technology Innovation Program issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
Doista, u 13. petogodišnjem planu industriju papira izdvaja se kao „poticanu industriju”.
Similarly, the above mentioned Decision No 40 indicates support for the development and modernisation of the paper industry.
Odlukom su industrijski sektori bili razvrstani u „poticane, ograničene i isključene projekte”.
Thus, rather than general statements of encouragement, these policy plans direct entities to comply with the public policy objective of supporting the development of the coated fine paper industry.
Taj je akt bio obvezujući dokument industrijske politike koji pokazuje kako kineska vlada održava politiku poticanja skupina poduzeća ili industrija, kao što je industrija papira, koje su razvrstane u kataloškom popisu kao „poticana industrija”.
In addition, the 2007 Development Policy for the Papermaking Industry (‘the 2007 Papermaking Plan’) provides specific conditions, orientations and targets for the papermaking industry.
Na temelju podneska kineske vlade u ovom ispitnom postupku Komisija je potvrdila da je Odluka br. 40 još uvijek na snazi.
As found in the original investigation, the 2007 Papermaking Plan describes the state of the papermaking industry in China (e.g. number of enterprises, production, consumption and exports, statistics on the type of raw materials used).
U pogledu broja industrija navedenih kao „poticane”, navodi se da ih ima ukupno 26, što čini samo dio kineskoga gospodarstva.
It sets out the policies and goals for the papermaking industry with respect to the industrial layout, the use of raw materials, the use of technology and equipment, the product structure and the organizational structure of the papermaking producers.
Nadalje, samo određenim aktivnostima unutar tih 26 sektora daje se status „poticane”.
The text also sets industry ‘admission criteria’, as it lays down specific assets/liability ratio requirements for the papermaking industry, sets specific credit ratings for the papermaking industry and specific targets for economies of scale, market share ratios, energy and water consumption to be achieved or attained by companies.
Člankom 17.
It requests enterprises to formulate development plans based on the 2007 Papermaking Plan.
Odluke br. 40 određuje se i da „poticani projekti ulaganja” dobivaju određene povlastice i poticaje (financijsku potporu, izuzeće od uvozne carine, izuzeće od PDV-a, izuzeće od poreza).
It also instructs the local provinces and regions to participate in the implementation of the plan, while an entire chapter is devoted to ‘Investment and Financing’ of the papermaking industry.
U odnosu na „ograničene i isključene projekte”, Odlukom br. 40 državna tijela ovlašćuju se da provode izravne intervencije radi uređenja tržišta.
In this respect it is pertinent to note that the Plan clearly states that financial institutions shall not provide loans for any project which does not comply with its regulations.
Člancima 18. i 19. zapravo se od odgovarajućih tijela zahtijeva onemogućivanje financijskih institucija u davanju zajmova, dok se državnom upravnom odjelu za cijene nalaže da podigne cijenu električne energije, a društvima koja isporučuju električnu energiju da je prestanu isporučivati takvim „ograničenim i isključenim projektima”.
In sum, the 2007 Papermaking Plan is a specific state instrument aimed at regulating the papermaking industry in China and can only be considered as a compulsory industrial policy tool that has to be concretely implemented by relevant interested parties in China (state authorities, financial institutions and producers).
Iz prethodno navedenoga očito je da Odluka br. 40 sadržava obvezujuća pravila i upute za sve gospodarske institucije i subjekte u obliku uputa o poticanju poticanih industrija i potporama za njih, a industrija proizvodnje papira jedna je od njih.
Since the paper industry continues to be listed as an ‘Encouraged’ industry in the 12th and 13th Five-Year Plan and no document succeeding or revising the 2007 Papermaking Plan was made available or could be found, the Commission concluded that the 2007 Papermaking Plan is still in force.
Komisija je u trenutačnom ispitnom postupku utvrdila da se u nekoliko dokumenata o politici industriju papira izričito navodi kao „poticanu industriju”.
In addition, at general level Article 34 of the Commercial Banking Law [2015] No 34 states that ‘Commercial banks shall conduct their business of lending in accordance with the needs of the national economic and social development and under the guidance of the industrial policies of the State.’
To se osobito odnosi na 12. petogodišnji plan za industriju papira.
This indicates that loans received by the CFP producers from State-owned banks as well as other financial institutions are made pursuant to government directives and public objectives.
Taj se plan provodi 12. petogodišnjim programom za industrijske tehnološke inovacije koji je izdalo Ministarstvo industrije i informacijske tehnologije.
Finally, the Commission recalled its findings in the original investigation concerning the role of the National Development and Reform Commission (‘NDRC’).
Program se odnosi i na „industrijsko restrukturiranje i modernizaciju […] industrije papira i povezanih industrija”.
The NDRC is an agency of the State Council coordinating macroeconomic policy and managing the Government investments.
Slično tome, u prethodno navedenoj Odluci br. 40 navodi se potpora razvoju i modernizaciji industrije papira.
The State Council, the highest governmental administrative body, issued, inter alia, the 2007 Papermaking Plan, which has to be followed by the NDRC.
Ti planovi politike stoga ne čine opće izjave o poticanju, već se njima subjekte usmjerava da poštuju cilj javne politike kojom se potiče razvoj industrije premazanog finog papira.
The original investigation also established that the NDRC collects, on a permanent basis, detailed information from companies.
Uz to, Politikom razvoja industrije proizvodnje papira 2007. („Plan proizvodnje papira 2007.”) predviđaju se posebni uvjeti, smjernice i ciljevi za industriju proizvodnje papira.
The existence of a systematic mechanism to collect company related data to be used in government plans and projects reveals that these plans and project are considered as an important element of State's industrial policy.
Kako je utvrđeno u početnom ispitnom postupku, u Planu proizvodnje papira 2007. opisuje se stanje industrije proizvodnje papira u Kini (npr. broj poduzeća, proizvodnja, potrošnja i izvoz, statistički podaci o vrsti sirovina koje se upotrebljavaju).
It follows from the above that decisions taken by financial institutions with respect to the paper industry (and thus including coated fine paper industry as a part of it), continue to take into consideration the need to fulfil the stated goals of the relevant policy plans.
Utvrđuju se politike i ciljevi industrije proizvodnje papira s obzirom na organizaciju industrije, upotrebu sirovina, upotrebu tehnologije i opreme, strukturu proizvoda i organizacijsku strukturu proizvođača papira.
In light of above, the Commission established that the link between the specific policy objectives as enshrined in those plans and documents and the support to the coated fine paper industry continue to exist during the RIP.
U tekstu se utvrđuju i „kriteriji za prihvaćanje” u industriju jer se određuju posebni zahtjevi omjera između imovine i obveza za industriju proizvodnje papira, utvrđuju se posebni kreditni rejtinzi za industriju proizvodnje papira i posebni ciljevi ekonomije razmjera, omjeri tržišnih udjela te potrošnja energije i vode koju društva trebaju ostvariti.
The coated fine paper industry is regarded as a key/strategic industry, whose development is actively pursued by the State as a public policy objective, including through preferential lending.
U tom je smislu važno napomenuti da se u Planu jasno navodi da financijske institucije neće davati zajmove za bilo koji projekt koji nije u skladu s njegovim odredbama.
State-owned banks acting as public bodies
Ukratko, Plan proizvodnje papira 2007. poseban je državni instrument usmjeren na uređenje industrije proizvodnje papira u Kini i može se smatrati samo obveznim alatom industrijske politike koji odgovarajuće zainteresirane strane u Kini moraju konkretno provoditi (državna tijela, financijske institucije i proizvođači).
The Commission concluded in the original investigation [20] that the financing market in China was distorted by government intervention and interest rates charged by non-government banks and other financial institutions were likely to be aligned with government rates.
Budući da se u 12. i 13. petogodišnjem planu industriju papira i dalje navodi kao „poticanu” industriju te da Komisiji nije stavljen na raspolaganje niti je uspjela pronaći nikakav dokument koji je uslijedio nakon Plana proizvodnje papira 2007. ili kojim se on mijenja, Komisija je zaključila da je Plan proizvodnje papira 2007. i dalje na snazi.
The investigation did not bring to light any element contradicting the above finding either; nor did the GOC provide evidence in the course of this current investigation that this situation had changed.
Uz to, člankom 34.
