The findings set out in recitals 105 to 109 of the expiry review Regulation were, therefore, confirmed and can be retained without changes thereto, even in the absence of imports deriving from Hubei.
Stoga su Komisiji bili dostupni samo agregirani podaci o uvozu za 16 kineskih proizvođača izvoznika (uključujući Hubei), a svima njima dodijeljena je dodatna oznaka TARIC A950.
Impact of a repeal of measures on the Union industry
Komisija stoga nije mogla iskoristiti te agregirane podatke o uvozu kako bi iz njih izdvojila samo izvoz društva Hubei.
The Commission, subsequently, assessed the impact of the repeal of the measures against China erga omnes on the situation of the Union industry.
U skladu s tim, zbog nesuradnje i nedostatka statističkih podataka o uvozu društva Hubei, Komisija je u razdoblju ispitnog postupka revizije ispitala obujam uvoza društva Hubei na temelju obujma njegova uvoza tijekom početnog ispitnog postupka.
Here, it is recalled that the relevant economic data were collected during the expiry review investigation referred to in recital 2.
Te je informacije društvo Hubei dostavilo u svojem odgovoru na upitnik u početnom ispitnom postupku i potvrdila Komisija tijekom posjeta radi provjere na licu mjesta koji je u listopadu 2008. obavljen u poslovnim prostorima društva Hubei.
These findings were based on facts and evidence collected during a more recent period (July 2013 to June 2014), while the findings in the original investigation were based on evidence collected for the period July 2007 to June 2008.
Treba podsjetiti na to da je uvoz društva Hubei tijekom razdoblja početnog ispitnog postupka činio oko [8–13 %] ukupnog kineskog uvoza.
The expiry review investigation clearly indicated the following: should measures be repealed, the industry would be faced with a significant increase of imports from China made at dumped prices.
U skladu s tim Komisija je pretpostavila da je taj postotak ukupnog kineskog uvoza ostao nepromijenjen jer društvo Hubei nije surađivalo u ispitnom postupku revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera.
It was established that import volumes, given the low prices, could reach a similar level to the one found during the original investigation.
Na temelju Uredbe o reviziji zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera ukupan uvoz iz Kine u Uniju tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije iznosio je 67977 tona.
In parallel, the investigation found a decrease of Union consumption of 19 % during the period considered.
Na temelju toga i uključivanjem navedenog postotka društva Hubei u ukupnom uvozu iz NRK-a (odnosno [8–13 %] ukupnog uvoza) u nalaze Uredbe o reviziji zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera, izračunano je da uvoz društva Hubei iznosi [6000–7500] tona od 67977 tona zabilježenih u Uredbi o reviziji zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera.
Indeed, it was established that the expected price level of Chinese imports without anti-dumping duty would be likely to undercut the Union industry prices by around 40 %.
Budući da je izračunano da oko [87–92 %] uvoza čine kineski proizvođači izvoznici osim društva Hubei i budući da se člankom 3. stavkom 9.
The Union industry would not be able to cope with an increase of such low-priced imports.
Osnovne uredbe zahtijeva opća ocjena tih pokazatelja, Komisija je zaključila da se isključivanjem uvoza društva Hubei iz ukupnog kineskog uvoza tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije ne bi dovela u pitanje kvalitativna ocjena Komisije sadržana u Uredbi o reviziji zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera.
Customers would indeed be able to switch their short-term orders easily from the Union producers to the Chinese exporting producers.
Nalazi utvrđeni u uvodnim izjavama od 105. do 109.
This would lead to a significant increase in market share of Chinese imports from 6,3 % during the review investigation period expiry review investigation up to 30 %.
Uredbe o reviziji zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera stoga su potvrđeni i mogu se zadržati bez izmjena, čak i ako nedostaju podaci o uvozu društva Hubei.
Given the substantial increase of Chinese production capacity since the original investigation (60 %), Chinese imports would imminently flood the Union market and gain substantial market share at the expense of the Union industry.
Utjecaj ukidanja mjera na industriju Unije
Moreover, the expiry review investigation revealed significant spare capacity in China (more than the entire Union consumption) that would be likely oriented to the Union market which remained very attractive for Chinese exports despite the measures in force.
Komisija je naknadno ocijenila utjecaj ukidanja mjera protiv Kine erga omnes na stanje u industriji Unije.
Indeed, spare capacity was estimated at 2 million tonnes during the review investigation period which exceeded the total Union consumption during the same period.
Treba podsjetiti da su relevantni ekonomski podaci prikupljeni tijekom ispitnog postupka revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera iz uvodne izjave 2.
Therefore, China would be able to increase significantly its export volumes to the Union.
Ti su nalazi utemeljeni na činjenicama i dokazima prikupljenima u novijem razdoblju (srpanj 2013.–lipanj 2014.), dok su se nalazi iz početnog ispitnog postupka temeljili na dokazima prikupljenima u razdoblju od srpnja 2007. do lipnja 2008.
This conclusion is supported by the fact that a number of other important export markets of China (such as Canada, USA, Colombia, Mexico and Brazil) had trade defence measures in please against Chinese imports of the product concerned and in a number of other countries trade defence investigations were on-going.
Ispitni postupak revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera jasno je pokazao sljedeće: ako se mjere ukinu, industrija će se suočiti sa znatnim povećanjem uvoza iz Kine po dampinškim cijenama.
It was also established that, due to the downturn of the Chinese economy in combination with the high overcapacity, a strong pressure was exerted on the Chinese producers to produce at high capacity utilisation rates.
Utvrđeno je da bi s obzirom na niske cijene obujam uvoza mogao dosegnuti razinu sličnu onoj utvrđenoj tijekom početnog ispitnog postupka.
Regarding the likely price evolution of the Chinese imports, Chinese import prices were already substantially below the Union industry sales prices during the review investigation period, despite the dumping measures in force.
Istodobno je u ispitnom postupku utvrđeno da se potrošnja u Uniji u razmatranom razdoblju smanjila za 19 %.
Without anti-dumping duties, Chinese import prices were expected to decrease even further and undercutting margins from around 40 % would be expected.
Utvrđeno je da doista postoji vjerojatnost da se zbog očekivane razine cijena kineskog uvoza bez antidampinške pristojbe cijene u industriji Unije smanje za oko 40 %.
This price pressure would likely be accentuated by the likely imminent surge of Chinese import volumes.
Industrija Unije ne bi se mogla nositi s povećanjem uvoza tako jeftinih proizvoda.
The expiry review investigation confirmed that the level of inventories was not of any particular significance for the analysis because the Union producers mainly produced on the basis of short-term orders from customers and the inventories therefore only represented an insignificant percentage of the Union producers' production.
Kupci bi zaista mogli jednostavno prebaciti svoje kratkoročne narudžbe s proizvođača iz Unije na kineske proizvođače izvoznike.
The expiry review also showed that the negative effect on the Union industry would manifest in a shift of customers in the Union to the low-priced Chinese imports.
Zbog toga bi se tržišni udio kineskog uvoza znatno povećao, sa 6,3 % tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije do 30 % tijekom ispitnog postupka revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera.
As Union capacity was not expected to increase, this would also lead to a significant gain in market share of Chinese imports to the detriment of the Union industry.
Zbog znatnog povećanja kineskog proizvodnog kapaciteta od početnog ispitnog postupka (60 %) kineski bi uvoz odmah preplavio tržište Unije i dobio znatan tržišni udio na račun industrije Unije.
This would result in a lower capacity utilisation rate for the Union industry, thus higher unit costs.
Osim toga, ispitnim postupkom revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera otkriveno je da u Kini postoji znatan rezervni kapacitet (veći od cijele potrošnje u Uniji) koji bi vjerojatno mogao biti orijentiran prema tržištu Unije, koje je i dalje vrlo privlačno za kineski izvoz unatoč mjerama na snazi.
At the same time, the low-priced imports would exert a price pressure on the Union market which would not allow Union producers to raise prices, thus leading to a decrease in profitability.
Naime, u razdoblju ispitnog postupka revizije rezervni kapacitet procijenjen je na 2 milijuna tona, što premašuje ukupnu potrošnju u Uniji tijekom istog razdoblja.
Thus, the expiry review concluded that the repeal of the measures would likely to lead to a recurrence of threat of injury.
Kina bi stoga mogla znatno povećati svoj obujam izvoza u Uniju.
That conclusion was not called into question by any of the interested parties, nor was the Commission able to retrieve evidence that would call those findings into question.
Taj zaključak potkrjepljuje činjenica da je niz drugih izvoznih tržišta važnih za Kinu (kao što su Kanada, SAD, Kolumbija, Meksiko i Brazil) uveo mjere trgovinske zaštite protiv kineskog uvoza predmetnog proizvoda te da su u brojnim drugim zemljama trajali ispitni postupci trgovinske zaštite.
Therefore, and considering that even when disregarding import volumes from Hubei, the findings of the expiry review would not have been different, the Commission concluded that, should the measures be repealed, the economic impact on the Union industry would be severe.
Utvrđeno je i da je zbog kombinacije pada kineskog gospodarstva i znatnog viška kapaciteta izvršen snažan pritisak na kineske proizvođače da proizvode uz visoke stope iskorištenosti kapaciteta.
E. CONCLUSION AND DISCLOSURE
Kad je riječ o razvoju cijena kineskog uvoza, kineske uvozne cijene već su u razdoblju ispitnog postupka revizije bile znatno niže od prodajnih cijena u industriji Unije, unatoč antidampinškim mjerama na snazi.
Consequently, on balance and with particular consideration for the significant negative effects for the Union industry should measures be repealed, the Commission considered that it would be inappropriate to repeal the measures in force against other Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
Očekivalo se da će se kineske uvozne cijene bez antidampinških pristojbi dodatno smanjiti i da se može očekivati marža sniženja cijena od 40 %.
On 28 July 2017 the Commission disclosed to all interested parties the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it decided not to repeal the anti-dumping measures in force for Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei and invited them to comment on these conclusions within a specific time limit.
Očekivanim naglim povećanjem obujma kineskog uvoza vjerojatno bi se dodatno naglasio pritisak na cijene.
F. COMMENTS OF INTERESTED PARTIES AFTER DISCLOSURE
Ispitnim postupkom revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera potvrđeno je da razina zaliha nije posebno važna za analizu jer proizvođači iz Unije uglavnom proizvode na temelju kratkoročnih narudžbi kupaca i stoga zalihe čine neznatan postotak proizvodnje proizvođača iz Unije.
Following disclosure, the Commission received substantive comments on behalf of the CISA and four exporting producers of SPT.
Revizija zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera pokazala je da bi se negativan učinak na industriju Unije odrazio u prelasku kupaca iz Unije na jeftini uvoz iz Kine.
Those parties submitted that the question to be considered was more whether the repeal of the anti-dumping measures in force would be lawful and consistent with the principle of good administration rather than whether the repeal was appropriate.
Budući da se nije očekivalo povećanje kapaciteta Unije, to bi dovelo i do znatnog povećanja tržišnog udjela kineskog uvoza na štetu industrije Unije.
To support that claim the parties argued that, in the Hubei judgments, the Court of Justice and the General Court found that anti-dumping measures were adopted without a proper finding of injury within the meaning of Article 3 of the basic Regulation (and Article 3 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement) and that therefore the original measures were legally flawed in their entirety.
To bi dovelo do niže iskorištenosti kapaciteta industrije Unije, a time i do većih jediničnih troškova.
By referring to the judgment of the Court of Justice in Clark and Puma, the parties argued that an illegality found in an original regulation is deemed to affect the legality of the subsequent prolonging regulation, so that it should be concluded that the entirety of the original Regulation on SPT was vitiated by the same error.
Jeftinim kineskim uvozom istodobno bi se izvršio znatan pritisak na cijene na tržištu Unije pa proizvođači iz Unije ne bi mogli povećati cijene, što bi dovelo do smanjenja profitabilnosti.
It follows that by not repealing the measures vis-à-vis Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei, the Commission would act inconsistently with Articles 1, 3(1) and 3(9) of the basic Regulation and with Article VI GATT 1994, as well as Articles 1 and 18.1 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement.
Stoga je u reviziji zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera zaključeno da bi ukidanje mjera vjerojatno dovelo do ponavljanja prijetnje štete.
The same parties further argued that it would also not be in line with the principle of good administration to maintain the anti-dumping measures.
Niti su zainteresirane strane dovele taj zaključak u pitanje niti je Komisija uspjela pronaći dokaze na temelju kojih bi se ti nalazi mogli dovesti u pitanje.
Those parties moreover clarified that they did not request to repeal the measures with erga omnes effect by extension of the effects of the Hubei judgments.
Slijedom navedenog i s obzirom na činjenicu da nalazi revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera ne bi bili drukčiji čak i da se obujam uvoza društva Hubei zanemari, Komisija je stoga zaključila da bi ukidanje mjera imalo ozbiljan gospodarski utjecaj na industriju Unije.
Rather, they argued that their request to repeal the measures was based on Articles 1, 3(1) and 3(9) of the basic Regulation and with Article VI GATT 1994, and Articles 1 and 18.1 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement as mentioned in recital 71.
E. ZAKLJUČAK I OBJAVA
Such repeal would have an ex post effect, which would be legally distinct from the extension of the effects of the Hubei judgments which would have a retroactive effect.
Stoga, s obzirom na sve navedeno i s posebnim naglaskom na znatne negativne učinke koje bi ukidanje mjera imalo za industriju Unije, Komisija je smatrala da ne bi bilo prikladno ukinuti mjere na snazi protiv drugih kineskih proizvođača izvoznika osim društva Hubei.
Finally, those parties noted that any negative effects of the repeal of the measures on the situation of the Union industry should be addressed in a new anti-dumping investigation to be initiated in accordance with Article 5 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je 28. srpnja 2017. sve zainteresirane strane obavijestila o bitnim činjenicama i razmatranjima na temelju kojih je donijela odluku da se antidampinške mjere na snazi protiv kineskih proizvođača izvoznika osim društva Hubei ne ukinu te ih pozvala da u određenom vremenskom roku dostave primjedbe o tim zaključcima.
The Commission rejected those arguments.
F. PRIMJEDBE ZAINTERESIRANIH STRANA NAKON OBJAVE
Regarding the claim that maintaining the measures in force with regard to the Chinese exporting producers of SPT other than Hubei would be inconsistent with Articles 1, 3(1) and 3(9) of the basic Regulation and with Article VI GATT 1994, as well as Articles 1 and 18.1 of the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement, and as mentioned in recital 23 the Commission recalled that the Hubei judgments limited the annulment of the original regulation to the anti-dumping duties imposed on Hubei alone.
Komisija je nakon objave primila bitne komentare u ime Kineskog udruženja za željezo i čelik i četiriju proizvođača izvoznika bešavnih cijevi od željeza ili čelika.
As also explained in recital 25, the expiry review investigation concerning the SPT measures against China remained valid to the same extent as the original Regulation, that is, in so far as it applies to the Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
Te su stranke istaknule da je važnije razmotriti hoće li ukidanje antidampinških mjera na snazi biti zakonito i u skladu s načelom dobrog upravljanja nego je li ukidanje prikladno.
Moreover, under the principle of legal certainty, the definitive nature of measures adopted by the Union institutions precludes them from being called in question once the time-limit laid down in Article 263 TFEU for bringing an action against those measures has expired.
Kako bi potkrijepile tu tvrdnju, stranke su tvrdile da su Sud i Opći sud u presudama Hubei utvrdili da su antidampinške mjere uvedene bez pravilnog utvrđivanja štete u smislu članka 3.
So, wherever a party has a clear right to seek the annulment of a measure in a direct action before the European courts – as all other Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei did – that party must either exercise that right or forever hold its peace.
Osnovne uredbe (i članka 3.
It follows that there is no legal obligation stemming from the basic Regulation or GATT 1994 and the WTO Anti-dumping Agreement to repeal the measures in force with regard to Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei.
Antidampinškog sporazuma WTO-a) te da su izvorne mjere stoga bile u potpunosti pravno manjkave.
The claims in this regard were rejected.
Upućivanjem na presudu Suda u predmetu Clark i Puma stranke su tvrdile da nezakonitost utvrđena u izvornoj uredbi utječe na zakonitost naknadne uredbe o produljenju, iz čega bi trebalo zaključiti da je cijela izvorna uredba o bešavnim cijevima od željeza ili čelika zahvaćena istom pogreškom.
Regarding the claim that the Commission did not act in line with the principle of good administration, it is noted, first, that, according to the case-law, the principle of good administration does not, in itself, confer rights upon individuals, except where it constitutes the expression of specific rights.
Iz toga proizlazi da bi Komisija, ako ne odbije mjere u pogledu kineskih proizvođača izvoznika osim društva Hubei, postupala u suprotnosti s člankom 1., člankom 3. stavkom 1. i člankom 3. stavkom 9.
Since no interested party was able to raise a violation of a specific right in this regard, the Commission believes the invocation of arguments in that regard is unfounded.
Osnovne uredbe te s člankom VI.
Second, and in any case, the Commission believes that it acted namely in line with this principle by re-opening the investigation and performing an assessment of the appropriateness of the measures in force in light of the Hubei judgments.
GATT-a iz 1994., kao i s člancima 1. i 18.1.
The fact that the parties do not agree with the outcome of the assessment does not make it unlawful or against the principle of the good administration.
Antidampinškog sporazuma WTO-a.
In addition, reference is made to recital 27.
Iste su se stranke dodatno složile da zadržavanje antidampinških mjera ne bi bilo u skladu ni s načelom dobrog upravljanja.
Finally, regarding the possibility of the Union industry to lodge an anti-dumping complaint within the meaning of Article 5 of the basic Regulation, it is noted that the availability of any redress does not invalidate the assessment about the inappropriateness of the possible repeal of measures as performed in recitals 27-51.
Osim toga, te su stranke objasnile da ne traže ukidanje mjera s učinkom erga omnes produljenjem učinaka presuda Hubei.
Therefore, the claims made by CISA and the four exporting producers in question were rejected.
Tvrdile su da se njihov zahtjev za ukidanje mjera temelji na članku 1., članku 3. stavku 1. i članku 3. stavku 9.
Therefore, and as concluded in recital 67, on balance and taking into consideration the significant negative effects for the Union industry should measures be repealed, the Commission considered that it would not be appropriate to repeal the measures in force against China in light of the Hubei judgments.
Osnovne uredbe, članku VI.
G. CONCLUSION
GATT-a iz 1994. te člancima 1. i 18.1.
Considering the above, following the disclosure sent on 28 July 2017 none of the comments provided by the interested parties could call into question the Commission's findings and the overall conclusions as set out in recital 67 are hereby confirmed.
Antidampinškog sporazuma WTO-a, kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 71.
H. DISCLOSURE
Takvo bi ukidanje imalo ex post učinak, koji bi bio pravno različit od produljenja učinaka presuda Hubei, koje bi imale retroaktivan učinak.
Given the additional considerations outlined above, in particular in recitals 31 to 38 and 39 to 50, the Commission considered it appropriate to re-disclose to all interested parties those additional facts and considerations on the basis of which it decided not to repeal the anti-dumping measures in force for Chinese exporting producers other than Hubei and invited them to comment on these conclusions within a specific time limit.
Konačno, te su stranke navele da bi sve negativne učinke ukidanja mjera na stanje u industriji Unije trebalo uzeti u obzir u novom antidampinškom ispitnom postupku koji će se pokrenuti u skladu s člankom 5.
No comments were received from the interested parties after the additional disclosure.

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Kad je riječ o tvrdnji da bi zadržavanje mjera na snazi u pogledu kineskih proizvođača izvoznika bešavnih cijevi od željeza ili čelika osim društva Hubei bilo u suprotnosti s člankom 1., člankom 3. stavkom 1. i člankom 3. stavkom 9.

Antidampinškog sporazuma WTO-a te kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 23., Komisija je podsjetila na to da je na temelju presuda Hubei poništenje Izvorne uredbe ograničeno samo na antidampinške pristojbe uvedene za društvo Hubei.
This Decision shall enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Isto tako, kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 25., ispitni postupak revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera koji se odnosi na mjere u pogledu uvoza bešavnih cijevi od željeza ili čelika protiv Kine ostao je valjan u istoj mjeri kao i Izvorna uredba, odnosno u onoj mjeri u kojoj se primjenjuje na kineske proizvođače izvoznike osim društva Hubei.
Done at Brussels, 28 June 2018.
Osim toga, u skladu s načelom pravne sigurnosti mjere koje donose institucije Unije zbog njihove se konačnosti ne može dovesti u pitanje nakon isteka vremenskog roka za pokretanje postupka protiv tih mjera utvrđenog u članku 263.

Dakle, ako stranka ima jasno pravo tražiti poništenje mjere izravnom tužbom pred europskim sudovima – kao što su svi drugi kineski proizvođači izvoznici osim društva Hubei imali – ta stranka mora ostvariti to pravo ili ga se zauvijek odreći.
OJ L 176, 30.6.2016, p. 21.
Iz toga slijedi da iz Osnovne uredbe ili GATT-a iz 1994. ili Antidampinškog sporazuma WTO-a ne proizlazi pravna obveza ukidanja mjera na snazi u pogledu kineskih proizvođača izvoznika osim društva Hubei.
