Following an anti-dumping investigation (‘the original investigation’), by Regulation (EU) No 791/2011 [2], the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty ranging between 48,4 % and 62,9 % on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the PRC’ or ‘country concerned’).
Mjere na snazi
These measures will hereinafter be referred to as ‘the measures in force’.
Vijeće je nakon antidampinškog ispitnog postupka („početni ispitni postupak”) Uredbom (EU) br. 791/2011 [2] uvelo konačnu antidampinšku pristojbu u rasponu od 48,4 % do 62,9 % na uvoz određenih tkanina otvorene mrežaste strukture od staklenih vlakana podrijetlom iz Narodne Republike Kine („NRK” ili „predmetna zemlja”).
In July 2012, following an anti-circumvention investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation, by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 672/2012 [3], the Council extended, from the measures in force, the duty applicable to all other companies to imports of the product concerned consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not.

In December 2013, following an anti-circumvention investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation, by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1371/2013 [5], the Council extended, from the measures in force, the duty applicable to all other companies to imports of the product concerned consigned from India and Indonesia, whether declared as originating in India and Indonesia or not.
Osnovne uredbe, Vijeće je Provedbenom uredbom (EU) br. 672/2012 [3] primjenu pristojbe koja se primjenjuje na sva ostala društva s mjera na snazi proširilo na uvoz predmetnog proizvoda poslanog iz Malezije, bez obzira na to ima li deklarirano podrijetlo iz Malezije ili ne.
In September 2014, following an anti-circumvention investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation, by Implementing Regulation (EU) No 976/2014 [6], the Commission also extended, from the measures in force, the duty to certain slightly modified open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People's Republic of China.
U siječnju 2013., nakon ispitnog postupka protiv izbjegavanja mjera u skladu s člankom 13.
Finally, in September 2015, following an investigation pursuant to Articles 11(3) and 13(4) of the basic Regulation, by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1507 [7], the Commission exempted certain Indian producers from the extension of the duty applicable to imports of the product concerned consigned from India, whether declared as originating in India or not.
Osnovne uredbe, Vijeće je Provedbenom uredbom (EU) br. 21/2013 [4] primjenu pristojbe koja se primjenjuje na sva ostala društva s mjera na snazi proširilo na uvoz predmetnog proizvoda poslanog iz Tajvana i Tajlanda, bez obzira na to ima li deklarirano podrijetlo iz Tajvana i Tajlanda ili nema.
Request for an expiry review
U prosincu 2013., nakon ispitnog postupka protiv izbjegavanja mjera u skladu s člankom 13.
Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry [8] of the anti-dumping measures in force on the imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the PRC, the Commission received a request for the initiation of an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
Osnovne uredbe, Vijeće je Provedbenom uredbom (EU) br. 1371/2013 [5] primjenu pristojbe koja se primjenjuje na sva ostala društva s mjera na snazi proširilo na uvoz predmetnog proizvoda poslanog iz Indije i Indonezije, bez obzira na to ima li deklarirano podrijetlo iz Indije i Indonezije ili nema.
The request was lodged by the Alliance for the Defence of Open Mesh Fabrics (‘ADOMF’ or ‘the applicant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres.
U rujnu 2014., nakon ispitnog postupka protiv izbjegavanja mjera u skladu s člankom 13.
The request was based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in the continuation of dumping and recurrence of injury to the Union industry.
Osnovne uredbe, Komisija je isto tako Provedbenom uredbom (EU) br. 976/2014 [6] primjenu pristojbe mjera na snazi proširila na određene malo modificirane tkanine otvorene mrežaste strukture od staklenih vlakana podrijetlom iz Narodne Republike Kine.
Initiation of an expiry review
Naposljetku, u rujnu 2015., nakon ispitnog postupka u skladu s člankom 11. stavkom 3. i člankom 13. stavkom 4.
Having determined that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission announced on 9 August 2016, by notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union [9] (‘the Notice of Initiation’) the initiation of an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
Osnovne uredbe, Komisija je Provedbenom uredbom (EU) 2015/1507 [7] izuzela određene indijske proizvođače od proširenja pristojbe koja se primjenjuje na uvoz predmetnog proizvoda poslanog iz Indije, bez obzira na to ima li deklarirano podrijetlo iz Indije ili nema.
Investigation
Zahtjev za reviziju zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera
Review investigation period and period considered
Nakon objave obavijesti o predstojećem isteku [8] antidampinških mjera koje su na snazi za uvoz određenih tkanina otvorene mrežaste strukture od staklenih vlakana podrijetlom iz NRK-a, Komisija je zaprimila zahtjev za pokretanje revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera u skladu s člankom 11. stavkom 2.
The investigation of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping covered the period from 1 July 2015 to 30 June 2016 (the ‘review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).
Osnovne uredbe.
The examination of the trends relevant for the assessment of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of injury covered the period from 1 January 2013 to the end of the review investigation period (the ‘period considered’).
Zahtjev je podnijelo Udruženje za obranu tkanina otvorene mrežaste strukture („ADOMF” ili „podnositelj zahtjeva”) u ime proizvođača koji čine više od 25 % ukupne proizvodnje određenih tkanina otvorene mrežaste strukture od staklenih vlakana u Uniji.
Parties concerned
Zahtjev se temeljio na činjenici da bi istekom mjera vjerojatno došlo do nastavka dampinga i ponavljanja štete za industriju Unije.
In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission invited interested parties to contact it in order to participate in the investigation.
Pokretanje revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera
In addition, the Commission specifically informed the applicant, other known Union producers, exporting producers, importers and users in the Union known to be concerned, as well as the Chinese authorities of the initiation of the expiry review, and invited them to participate.
Nakon što je utvrdila da postoje dostatni dokazi za pokretanje revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera, Komisija je 9. kolovoza 2016. objavljivanjem obavijesti u Službenom listu Europske unije [9] („Obavijest o pokretanju postupka”) najavila pokretanje revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera u skladu s člankom 11. stavkom 2.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and request a hearing within the time limits set out in the Notice of Initiation.
Osnovne uredbe.
In this context, four hearings, including two with the Hearing Officer, were organised at the request of some Union producers, the European Association of Technical Fabrics producers and Chinese producers.
Razdoblje ispitnog postupka revizije i razmatrano razdoblje
Sampling
Ispitnim postupkom o vjerojatnosti nastavka ili ponavljanja dampinga obuhvaćeno je razdoblje od 1. srpnja 2015. do 30. lipnja 2016. („razdoblje ispitnog postupka revizije” ili „RIPR”).
Sampling of exporting producers in the PRC
Ispitivanjem kretanja važnih za procjenu vjerojatnosti nastavka ili ponavljanja štete obuhvaćeno je razdoblje od 1. siječnja 2013. do kraja razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije („razmatrano razdoblje”).
In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission stated that it might sample exporting producers, in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.
Strane na koje se odnosi postupak
To decide whether sampling was necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked all known 13 exporting producers in the PRC to provide the information specified in the Notice of Initiation.
Komisija je u Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka pozvala zainteresirane strane da joj se obrate radi sudjelovanja u ispitnom postupku.
In addition, the Commission requested the Mission of the People's Republic of China to the European Union to identify and/or contact other exporting producers, if any, that could be interested in participating in the investigation.
Osim toga, Komisija je o pokretanju revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera posebno obavijestila podnositelja zahtjeva, druge poznate proizvođače iz Unije, proizvođače izvoznike, uvoznike i korisnike iz Unije za koje se zna da se to na njih odnosi te kineska nadležna tijela i pozvala ih da sudjeluju.
None of the Chinese exporting producers provided the requested information.
Zainteresiranim stranama pružena je prilika da iznesu svoja stavove u pisanom obliku i zatraže saslušanje u roku utvrđenom u Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka.
The Chinese authorities were informed of the non-cooperation.
Odabir uzorka
The non-cooperating Chinese exporting producers nevertheless sent comments disputing the accuracy of the request and opposing the continuation of the measures.
Odabir uzorka proizvođača izvoznika u NRK-u
Sampling of Union producers
U Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka Komisija je navela da bi mogla provesti odabir uzorka proizvođača izvoznika u skladu s člankom 17.
In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission stated that it had provisionally selected a sample of Union producers.
Osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected the sample on the basis of the largest representative volume of sales and production, taking also into account the geographical spread.
Kako bi odlučila je li odabir uzorka potreban i, ako jest, kako bi odabrala uzorak, Komisija je od svih 13 poznatih proizvođača izvoznika u NRK-u zatražila da dostave podatke navedene u Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka.
The preliminary sample consisted of three Union producers.
Uz to, Komisija je zatražila od Misije Narodne Republike Kine pri Europskoj uniji da utvrdi ostale proizvođače izvoznike koji bi mogli biti zainteresirani za sudjelovanje u ispitnom postupku i/ili da stupi u kontakt s njima.
The Commission invited interested parties to comment on the provisional sample.
Nijedan od kineskih proizvođača izvoznika nije dostavio zatražene podatke.
The sampled Union producer Asglatex Ohorn GmbH, which was not amongst the largest producers but qualified as an SME, provided a highly deficient questionnaire reply which moreover highlighted that certain volume information provided at the pre-initiation stage and on the basis of which it had been selected in the sample needed to be corrected.
Kineska nadležna tijela obaviještena su o nesuradnji.
Moreover, it indicated that a verification of the information could be problematic due to the departure of the staff preparing the reply.
Međutim, kineski proizvođači izvoznici koji ne surađuju poslali su primjedbe u kojima osporavaju točnost zahtjeva i protive se nastavku mjera.
Therefore, the Commission decided to change the sample by replacing this Union producer with the third largest Union producer, Tolnatext Fonalfeldolgozo es Müszakiszovetgyarto Bt.
Odabir uzorka proizvođača iz Unije
Having received no comments on the revised sample within the deadline, the Commission confirmed the sample as revised.
Komisija je u Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka navela da je odabrala privremeni uzorak proizvođača iz Unije.
The final sample accounted for over 70 % of the total Union production and sales during the review investigation period and was therefore considered representative of the Union industry.
U skladu s člankom 17. stavkom 1.
Sampling of unrelated importers
Osnovne uredbe Komisija je odabrala uzorak na temelju najvećeg reprezentativnog obujma prodaje i proizvodnje pri čemu je uzela u obzir i zemljopisnu rasprostranjenost.
To decide whether sampling was necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked all known unrelated importers to provide the information specified in the Notice of Initiation.
Početni uzorak sastojao se od triju proizvođača iz Unije.
The Commission contacted 28 known importers/users.
Komisija je pozvala zainteresirane strane da dostave primjedbe o privremenom uzorku.
Only one of them replied to the sampling form, so sampling was not considered warranted.
Proizvođač iz Unije u uzorku, društvo Asglatex Ohorn GmbH, koji nije bio jedan od najvećih proizvođača, ali se smatrao MSP-om, dostavio je vrlo nepotpun odgovor na upitnik kojim je dodatno istaknuto da je potrebno ispraviti određene podatke o obujmu dostavljene u fazi prije pokretanja postupka, na temelju kojih je to društvo odabrano u uzorak.
Questionnaires
Osim toga, to je društvo navelo da bi provjera podataka mogla biti otežana zbog odlaska zaposlenika koji su sastavili odgovor.
The Commission sent questionnaires to three cooperating analogue country producers, the three sampled Union producers, three unrelated importers and five potential users in the Union.
Stoga je Komisija odlučila promijeniti uzorak tako što je tog proizvođača iz Unije zamijenila društvom Tolnatext Fonalfeldolgozo es Müszakiszovetgyarto Bt, trećim najvećim proizvođačem iz Unije.
The Commission received questionnaire replies from the three sampled Union producers and from three producers in the potential analogue countries (Canada and India).
Budući da u zadanom roku nije primila primjedbe na revidirani uzorak, Komisija je potvrdila uzorak kao preispitani uzorak.
Verification visits
Konačni uzorak činio je više od 70 % ukupne proizvodnje i prodaje u Uniji tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije pa se smatrao reprezentativnim za industriju Unije.
The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for a determination of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping, the likelihood of recurrence of injury, and Union interest.
Odabir uzorka nepovezanih uvoznika
Verification visits under Article 16 of the basic Regulation were carried out at the premises of the following companies:
Kako bi odlučila je li odabir uzorka potreban i, ako jest, kako bi odabrala uzorak, Komisija je od svih poznatih nepovezanih uvoznika zatražila da dostave podatke navedene u Obavijesti o pokretanju postupka.
Union producers
Komisija je stupila u kontakt sa 28 poznatih uvoznika/korisnika.
Saint Gobain Adfors cz S.r.o, Litomysl, Czech Republic,
Budući da je samo jedan odgovorio na obrazac za odabir uzorka, odabir uzorka nije se smatrao opravdanim.
Tolnatext Fonalfeldolgozo es Müszakiszovetgyarto Bt., Tolna, Hungary,
Upitnici
JSC Valmieras Stikla Skiedra, Valmiera, Latvia;
Komisija je poslala upitnike trima proizvođačima iz analogne zemlje koji surađuju, trima proizvođačima iz Unije u uzorku, trima nepovezanim uvoznicima i pet potencijalnih korisnika u Uniji.
Producer in the analogue country
Komisija je primila odgovore na upitnik od triju proizvođača iz Unije u uzorku i triju proizvođača iz potencijalnih analognih zemalja (Kanada i Indija).
Saint-Gobain ADFORS Canada Ltd, Midland, Ontario, Canada.
Posjeti radi provjere
Subsequent procedure
Komisija je zatražila i provjerila sve podatke koje je smatrala potrebnima za utvrđivanje vjerojatnosti nastavka ili ponavljanja dampinga, vjerojatnosti ponavljanja štete i interesa Unije.
On 26 June 2017, the Commission disclosed the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to repeal the anti-dumping duty in force (‘the disclosure’).
Posjeti radi provjere u skladu s člankom 16.
All parties were granted a period within which they could make comments on the disclosure.
Osnovne uredbe obavljeni su u prostorima sljedećih društava:
The applicant made a written submission making known its views on the Commission's findings.
proizvođači iz Unije:
In summary, the applicant contested the Commission's preliminary conclusion that injury was unlikely to recur if measures were allowed to lapse.
Saint Gobain Adfors cz S.r.o, Litomysl, Češka,
Instead, it claimed that the expected increased imports would lead to a recurrence of material injury.
Tolnatext Fonalfeldolgozo es Müszakiszovetgyarto Bt., Tolna, Mađarska,
This party also requested the intervention by the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings (‘the Hearing Officer’) and it submitted additional information after that hearing.
JSC Valmieras Stikla Skiedra, Valmiera, Latvija,
After a thorough analysis of information available to the Commission as well as information submitted subsequent to the disclosure, the Commission adjusted its findings.
proizvođač iz analogne zemlje:
At the stage of the disclosure, the Commission was of the view that injury was unlikely to recur, if measures were allowed to lapse.
Saint-Gobain ADFORS Canada Ltd, Midland, Ontario, Kanada.
However, after taking into account the information submitted after the disclosure, the Commission accepted the applicant's claim that the quality of the Chinese product had evolved to a level equivalent to that of the Union industry.
Daljnji postupak
That key determination resulted in the finding of undercutting and shed a markedly different light on the likelihood of recurrence of injury analysis.
Komisija je 26. lipnja 2017. objavila bitne činjenice i razmatranja na temelju kojih je namjeravala staviti izvan snage antidampinšku pristojbu na snazi („objava”).
Consequently, on 6 September 2017, the Commission informed all parties of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the additional disclosure’).
Svim je strankama odobreno razdoblje unutar kojeg su mogle podnijeti primjedbe na objavu.
After additional disclosure, the Commission received comments from different parties.
Podnositelj zahtjeva dostavio je podnesak u kojem je iznio svoje stavove o nalazima Komisije.
The Chinese producers made a written submission making their views known on the Commission's findings and overall assessment.
Ukratko, podnositelj zahtjeva osporio je prethodni zaključak Komisije da nije vjerojatno da će se šteta ponoviti ako se dopusti istek mjera.
First, the Chinese producers claimed that the Commission would have allegedly changed the methodology used in the original investigation by not applying the quality adjustment in its undercutting calculations in the present case (see recital 97 below).
Umjesto toga tvrdio je da će očekivani povećani uvoz dovesti do ponavljanja materijalne štete.
As this alleged change would result in a different conclusion concerning the likelihood of recurrence of injury if the measures against the PRC were allowed to lapse, the Chinese producers contested that conclusion.
Ta je strana zatražila i intervenciju službenika za saslušanje u trgovinskim postupcima („službenik za saslušanje”) te je dostavila dodatne podatke nakon tog saslušanja.
In addition, they further noted that the additional disclosure did not contain a number of elements that were present in the first disclosure.
Nakon temeljite analize podataka dostupnih Komisiji i podataka dostavljenih nakon objave Komisija je prilagodila svoje nalaze.
Finally, they claimed that the Commission was no longer permitted to use the analogue country methodology since it anyway had allegedly changed the methodology used for the determination of the normal value as compared to the original investigation.
U fazi objave Komisija je smatrala da nije vjerojatno da će se šteta ponoviti ako dođe do isteka mjera.
The applicant made known its views claiming that opening an interim review, as suggested by the Commission in the additional disclosure, should be considered only if the Chinese exporting producers submit a properly reasoned request for such a review.
Međutim, nakon što je uzela u obzir podatke dostavljene nakon objave, Komisija je prihvatila tvrdnju podnositelja zahtjeva da je kvaliteta kineskog proizvoda dosegnula razinu jednaku kvaliteti industrije Unije.
In this respect, the Commission points out that it could consider whether it would be appropriate to initiate, ex officio, an interim review, to eventually determine the impact of the quality issue on export prices of the product concerned, and, therefore, on the dumping and injury margins, as well as the situation of the two groups of producers (the vertically-integrated and the other producers, also referred to as ‘weavers’, see recital 117) in detail with a view to ensuring that the performance indicators for these producers are not distorted by the dominance in the sample of one group over the other.
Iz tog ključnog utvrđenja proizašao je nalaz u pogledu sniženja cijena i dobivena je bitno različita slika analize vjerojatnosti ponavljanja štete.
In a hearing with the Commission's services after the additional disclosure, the Chinese authorities also made a statement claiming that the adjustment referred to in recital 97 below should be maintained.
U skladu s tim Komisija je 6. rujna 2017. obavijestila sve strane o bitnim činjenicama i razmatranjima na temelju kojih je namjeravala uvesti konačnu antidampinšku pristojbu na uvoz određenih tkanina otvorene mrežaste strukture od staklenih vlakana podrijetlom iz Narodne Republike Kine („dodatna objava”).
The comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and taken into account where appropriate.
Nakon dodatne objave Komisija je primila primjedbe različitih strana.
PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Kineski proizvođači dostavili su pisani podnesak u kojem su iznijeli svoje stavove o Komisijinim nalazima i ukupnoj procjeni.
Product concerned
Prvo, kineski proizvođači tvrdili su da bi Komisija navodno promijenila metodologiju upotrijebljenu u početnom ispitnom postupku tako što u ovom slučaju ne bi primijenila prilagodbu za kvalitetu u svojim izračunima sniženja cijena (vidjeti uvodnu izjavu 97. u nastavku).
The product concerned is certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35 g/m2, excluding fibreglass discs, and originating in the PRC (‘the product under review’), currently falling within CN codes ex70195100 and ex70195900 (TARIC codes 7019510019 and 7019590019).
Budući da bi iz te navodne promjene proizašao drukčiji zaključak o vjerojatnosti ponavljanja štete ako se dopusti istek mjera protiv NRK-a, kineski proizvođači osporili su taj zaključak.
Open mesh fabrics of glass fibres can be found in different cell sizes and weight per square metre and are mostly used as reinforcement material in the construction sector (external thermal insulation, floor reinforcement, and wall repair).
Osim toga, naveli su i da dodatna objava nije sadržavala određeni broj elemenata koji su se nalazili u prvoj objavi.
Like product
Konačno, tvrdili su da Komisiji više nije dopuštena primjena metodologije analogne zemlje jer je ionako već navodno promijenila metodologiju primijenjenu za određivanje uobičajene vrijednosti u odnosu na početni ispitni postupak.
The investigation showed that the following products have the same basic physical and technical characteristics, as well as the same basic uses:
Podnositelj zahtjeva iznio je svoje stavove tvrdnjom da bi pokretanje privremene revizije, kako je Komisija predložila u dodatnoj objavi, trebalo razmatrati samo ako kineski proizvođači izvoznici dostave uredno obrazložen zahtjev za takvu reviziju.
