Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Articles 13 and 14(5) thereof,
uzimajući u obzir Uredbu (EU) 2016/1036 Europskog parlamenta i Vijeća od 8. lipnja 2016. o zaštiti od dampinškog uvoza iz zemalja koje nisu članice Europske unije („Osnovna uredba”), a posebno njezin članak 13. i članak 14. stavak 5.,
The Council, following an anti-dumping investigation (‘the original investigation’), imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of citric acid originating in the People's Republic of China (‘PRC’) by Regulation (EC) No 1193/2008.
Vijeće je nakon antidampinškog ispitnog postupka („početni ispitni postupak”) Uredbom (EZ) br. 1193/2008 uvelo konačnu antidampinšku pristojbu na uvoz limunske kiseline podrijetlom iz Narodne Republike Kine („NRK”).
The measures took the form of an ad valorem duty ranging between 6,6 % and 42,7 %.
Te su mjere bile u obliku pristojbe ad valorem u rasponu od 6,6 % do 42,7 %.
By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82 the European Commission (‘the Commission’), following an expiry review and partial interim review (‘previous investigations’) pursuant to Article 11(2) and (3) of the basic Regulation respectively, maintained the definitive measures and amended their level.
Provedbenom uredbom (EU) 2015/82 Europska komisija („Komisija”) zadržala je konačne mjere i izmijenila njihovu razinu nakon revizije zbog predstojećeg isteka mjera i djelomične privremene revizije („prethodni ispitni postupci”) u skladu s člankom 11. stavcima 2. i 3.
The definitive anti-dumping duties in force on imports of citric acid originating in the PRC now range between 15,3 % and 42,7 % (‘the measures in force’).
Osnovne uredbe.
By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/32 the Commission, following an anti-circumvention investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation, extended the anti-dumping duty of 42,7 % imposed on imports of citric acid originating in the PRC to imports of citric acid consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not.
Konačne antidampinške pristojbe na snazi za uvoz limunske kiseline podrijetlom iz NRK-a sada iznose od 15,3 % do 42,7 % („mjere na snazi”).
Request
Provedbenom uredbom (EU) 2016/32 Komisija je, nakon ispitnog postupka u svrhu sprečavanja izbjegavanja mjera u skladu s člankom 13.
The Commission received a request pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on citric acid originating in the PRC by imports consigned from Cambodia, whether declared as originating in Cambodia or not, and to make such imports subject to registration.
Osnovne uredbe, proširila antidampinšku pristojbu od 42,7 % uvedenu na uvoz limunske kiseline podrijetlom iz NRK-a na uvoz limunske kiseline poslane iz Malezije, bez obzira na to je li deklarirana kao podrijetlom iz Malezije ili ne.
The request was lodged on 30 October 2017 by the European industry manufacturing citric acid.
Zahtjev
The request contained sufficient evidence on a change in the pattern of trade between the Union, the PRC and Cambodia which appeared to stem from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty, namely the transhipment, with or or without minor processing operations, of the product concerned originating in the PRC via Cambodia to the Union.
Komisija je primila zahtjev na temelju članka 13. stavka 3. i članka 14. stavka 5.
Furthermore, the request contained sufficient evidence that the practice described above was undermining the remedial effects of the existing anti-dumping measures both in terms of quantities and prices and that the prices of the product under investigation were dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
Osnovne uredbe da ispita moguće izbjegavanje antidampinških mjera uvedenih na limunsku kiselinu podrijetlom iz NRK-a uvozom poslanim iz Kambodže, bez obzira na to je li deklariran kao podrijetlom iz Kambodže ili ne, te da uvede obvezu evidentiranja takvog uvoza.
Product concerned and product under investigation
Zahtjev je 30. listopada 2017. podnijela europska industrija koja proizvodi limunsku kiselinu.
The product concerned by the possible circumvention is citric acid (including trisodium citrate dihydrate (‘citric salt’)), falling within CN codes ex29181400 (TARIC code 2918140090) and ex29181500 (TARIC code 2918150019) and originating in the PRC (‘the product concerned’).
Zahtjev je sadržavao dostatne dokaze o promjeni strukture trgovine između Unije, NRK-a i Kambodže za koju se čini da proizlazi iz prakse, obrade ili rada za koje ne postoje dostatni valjani razlozi ili ekonomsko opravdanje osim uvođenja pristojbe, a riječ je o pretovaru predmetnog proizvoda podrijetlom iz NRK-a preko Kambodže, uz manje postupke prerade ili bez njih, i njegovu slanju u Uniju.
The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but consigned from Cambodia, whether declared as originating in Cambodia or not, currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned (‘the product under investigation’).
Nadalje, zahtjev je sadržavao dostatne dokaze da su prethodno opisanom praksom dovedeni u pitanje korektivni učinci postojećih antidampinških mjera u smislu količina i cijena te da su cijene proizvoda iz ispitnog postupka bile dampinške u odnosu na uobičajenu vrijednost prethodno utvrđenu za predmetni proizvod.
The investigation showed that citric acid and citric salt exported from the PRC to the Union and consigned from Cambodia have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and have the same uses, and are therefore to be considered as like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Predmetni proizvod i proizvod iz ispitnog postupka
Initiation
Proizvod na koji se odnosi moguće izbjegavanje mjera jest limunska kiselina (uključujući trinatrijev citrat dihidrat („sol limunske kiseline”)), razvrstana u oznake KN ex29181400 (oznaka TARIC 2918140090) i ex29181500 (oznaka TARIC 2918150019) i podrijetlom iz NRK-a („predmetni proizvod”).
Having determined, after having informed the Member States, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission decided to investigate the possible circumvention of the anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of product concerned originating in the PRC and to make imports of citric acid consigned from Cambodia, whether declared as originating in Cambodia or not, subject to registration.
Proizvod iz ispitnog postupka istovjetan je proizvodu definiranom u prethodnoj uvodnoj izjavi, ali je poslan iz Kambodže, bez obzira na to je li deklariran kao podrijetlom iz Kambodže ili ne, i trenutačno je razvrstan u iste oznake KN kao predmetni proizvod („proizvod iz ispitnog postupka”).
The investigation was initiated by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/2300 on 13 December 2017 (‘the initiating Regulation’).
Ispitni je postupak pokazao da limunska kiselina i sol limunske kiseline koje se izvoze u Uniju iz NRK-a i koje su poslane iz Kambodže imaju ista osnovna fizička i kemijska svojstva i iste namjene te se stoga trebaju smatrati istovjetnim proizvodima u smislu članka 1. stavka 4.
Investigation period and reporting period
Osnovne uredbe.
The investigation period covered the period from 1 January 2014 to 30 September 2017 (‘the investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Pokretanje postupka
Data were collected for the investigation period to investigate, inter alia, the alleged change in the pattern of trade following the continuation of the measures and the increase of the definitive anti-dumping duties by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82 and the existence of a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty.
Utvrdivši, nakon obavješćivanja država članica, da postoje dostatni dokazi za pokretanje ispitnog postupka u skladu s člankom 13. stavkom 3. i člankom 14. stavkom 5.
More detailed data were collected for the period from 1 October 2016 to 30 September 2017 (‘the reporting period’ or ‘RP’) in order to examine if imports were undermining the remedial effect of the measures in force in terms of prices and/or quantities and the existence of dumping.
Osnovne uredbe, Komisija je odlučila istražiti moguće izbjegavanje antidampinških mjera uvedenih na uvoz predmetnog proizvoda podrijetlom iz NRK-a i uvesti obvezu evidentiranja uvoza limunske kiseline poslane iz Kambodže, bez obzira na to je li deklarirana kao podrijetlom iz Kambodže ili ne.
Investigation
Ispitni postupak pokrenut je 13. prosinca 2017.
The Commission officially informed the authorities of the PRC and Cambodia, the exporting producers and traders in those countries, the importers in the Union known to be concerned and the Union industry of the initiation of the investigation.
Provedbenom uredbom Komisije (EU) 2017/2300 („Uredba o pokretanju postupka”).
Questionnaires/Exemption Claim Forms were sent to the producers/exporters in Cambodia and the PRC and to the importers in the Union known to the Commission or which made themselves known within the deadlines specified in recital 16 of the initiating Regulation.
Razdoblje ispitnog postupka i izvještajno razdoblje
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time-limit set in the initiating Regulation.
Razdoblje ispitnog postupka obuhvaćalo je razdoblje od 1. siječnja 2014. do 30. rujna 2017. („razdoblje ispitnog postupka” ili „RIP”).
Replies to questionnaires/exemption forms were received from one Cambodian exporting producer, Wang Kang Biochemical Co., Ltd (‘WKB’), and five Union importers.
Podaci su prikupljeni za razdoblje ispitnog postupka kako bi se, među ostalim, ispitala navodna promjena strukture trgovine nakon nastavka mjera i povećanja konačnih antidampinških pristojbi Provedbenom uredbom (EU) 2015/82 te postojanje prakse, obrade ili rada za koje ne postoje dostatni valjani razlozi ili ekonomsko opravdanje osim uvođenja pristojbe.
A verification visit was carried out in March 2018 at the premises of WKB.
Prikupljeni su i detaljniji podaci za razdoblje od 1. listopada 2016. do 30. rujna 2017. („izvještajno razdoblje” ili „IR”) kako bi se ispitalo je li uvozom narušen korektivni učinak mjera na snazi u smislu cijena i/ili količina te postojanje dampinga.
The Commission consulted also several governmental departments and agencies in Cambodia, including the Ministry of Commerce, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Handicraft, the Custom Authorities and the Council of Development of Cambodia.
Ispitni postupak
RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
Komisija je o pokretanju postupka službeno obavijestila tijela NRK-a i Kambodže, proizvođače izvoznike i trgovce u tim zemljama, uvoznike iz Unije za koje se zna da se postupak na njih odnosi i industriju Unije.
General considerations
Upitnici/obrasci zahtjeva za izuzeće poslani su proizvođačima/izvoznicima u Kambodži i NRK-u i uvoznicima u Uniji koji su poznati Komisiji ili koji su se javili u roku utvrđenom u uvodnoj izjavi 16.
In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the following elements should be analysed successively in order to assess possible circumvention:

Posjet radi provjere obavljen je u ožujku 2018. u prostorima WKB-a.
whether there is evidence of dumping in relation to the normal values previously established for the product concerned.
Komisija se savjetovala i s nekoliko vladinih tijela i agencija u Kambodži, uključujući Ministarstvo trgovine, Ministarstvo financija, Ministarstvo industrije i obrta, carinska tijela i Vijeće za razvoj Kambodže.
Change in pattern of trade
REZULTATI ISPITNOG POSTUPKA
Changes in the pattern of trade between Cambodia, the PRC and the Union in the IP are analysed on the basis of the import and export statistics of Cambodia.
Opća razmatranja
During the consultations with the Cambodian custom authorities, the Commission received the database of all the import and export transactions under Harmonised System (HS) heading 2918 for the IP.
U skladu s člankom 13. stavkom 1.
The database allowed for identification of the month and year of each given single transaction, description of the Cambodian customs code up to eight digits level, detailed product description, name of the exporter/importer, volume and value of the transaction, country of import/origin/destination.
Osnovne uredbe potrebno je analizirati sljedeće elemente danim redoslijedom kako bi se procijenilo moguće izbjegavanje mjera:
Furthermore, during the consultations with the Cambodian Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Industry and Handicraft, it was confirmed that the sole cooperating Cambodian exporting producer, WKB, is the only exporter and producer of the product under investigation existing in Cambodia.
je li promijenjena struktura trgovine između Kambodže, NRK-a i Unije,
The product concerned was imported into Cambodia, both from China directly and also via Thailand and Vietnam, by the sole exporting producer of the product under investigation in Cambodia, WKB, and by other non-exporting Cambodian companies.
je li ta promjena proizašla iz prakse, obrade ili rada za koje ne postoje dostatni valjani razlozi ili ekonomsko opravdanje osim uvođenja antidampinških mjera na snazi,
The imports by other companies, active mainly in the garment and textile industry, were relatively low in volumes and were consumed internally in Cambodia — no export transaction of citric acid or citric salt other than the exports from WKB are noted in the custom records.
postoji li dokaz o šteti ili jesu li narušeni korektivni učinci antidampinških mjera na snazi u smislu cijena i/ili količina proizvoda iz ispitnog postupka, te
Therefore, these imports can be excluded from the analysis of the change in the pattern of trade between Cambodia, the PRC and the Union.
postoji li dokaz o dampingu u odnosu na prethodno utvrđene uobičajene vrijednosti za predmetni proizvod.
WKB's imports are substantial compared to the rest of Cambodian imports and show an increasing trend in the period from 2015 to the RP.
Promjene strukture trgovine između Kambodže, NRK-a i Unije tijekom izvještajnog razdoblja analizirane su na temelju statističkih podataka o uvozu i izvozu Kambodže.
WKB also appeared first in export statistics as an exporter of citric salt both to the Union and to third countries in the year 2015.
Tijekom savjetovanja s carinskim tijelima Kambodže Komisija je primila bazu podataka o svim transakcijama uvoza i izvoza pod tarifnim brojem 2918 Harmoniziranog sustava (HS) u izvještajnom razdoblju.
Data on Cambodian imports of the product concerned originating in China and exports of the product under investigation from Cambodia to the Union are shown in the tables below.
Baza podataka omogućila je utvrđivanje mjeseca i godine svake pojedinačne transakcije, opisa kambodžanske carinske oznake do razine od osam znamenki, detaljnog opisa proizvoda, naziva izvoznika/uvoznika, obujma i vrijednosti transakcije te zemlje uvoza/podrijetla/odredišta.
It should be underlined the volumes of exports are much higher than volumes of imports, which is explained below by the production process of WKB.
Nadalje, tijekom savjetovanja s kambodžanskim Ministarstvom trgovine i Ministarstvom industrije i obrta potvrđeno je da je jedini proizvođač izvoznik iz Kambodže koji surađuje, društvo WKB, jedini postojeći izvoznik i proizvođač proizvoda iz ispitnog postupka u Kambodži.
Table 1
Jedini proizvođač izvoznik proizvoda iz ispitnog postupka u Kambodži, društvo WKB, i druga društva iz Kambodže koja se ne bave izvozom uvozili su predmetni proizvod u Kambodžu, izravno iz Kine i preko Tajlanda i Vijetnama.
Import volumes (tonnes) from the PRC to Cambodia
Uvoz drugih društava, koja uglavnom posluju u industriji odjeće i tekstila, imao je relativno mali obujam i uvezeni proizvodi iskorištavali su se na području Kambodže – u carinskoj evidenciji nisu zabilježene transakcije izvoza limunske kiseline ili soli limunske kiseline osim izvoza WKB-a.
Source: Cambodian custom authorities.
Stoga se taj uvoz može isključiti iz analize promjene strukture trgovine između Kambodže, NRK-a i Unije.
Other companies
Osim toga, WKB je 2015. prvi put naveden u statističkim podacima o izvozu kao izvoznik soli limunske kiseline u Uniju i u treće zemlje.
Imports total
U tablicama u nastavku prikazani su podaci o uvozu predmetnog proizvoda podrijetlom iz Kine u Kambodžu i o izvozu proizvoda iz ispitnog postupka iz Kambodže u Uniju.
Table 2
Trebalo bi istaknuti da je obujam izvoza znatno veći od obujma uvoza, što je u nastavku objašnjeno WKB-ovim postupkom proizvodnje.
Export volumes (tonnes) from Cambodia
Tablica 1.
Exports total
Obujam uvoza (u tonama) iz NRK-a u Kambodžu
The increase in volumes, of both exports from Cambodia to the Union and of exports from the PRC to Cambodia has taken place following the continuation of the measures and the increase of the definitive anti-dumping duties by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82.
Izvor: Carinska tijela Kambodže.
This constitutes a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC and Cambodia on the one hand, and Cambodia and the Union, on the other hand.
Ostala trgovačka društva
Alleged circumvention practice
Ukupni uvoz
Due cause or economic justification other than imposition of the anti-dumping duty
Tablica 2.
According to the findings of the investigation, there is due cause or economic justification regarding the start of economic activity and establishment of production by WKB in Cambodia.
Obujam izvoza (u tonama) iz Kambodže
The fact that a Chinese investor invested in WKB does not alter those findings.
Ukupni izvoz
Indeed, the main reason for the location of production facilities in Cambodia was a package of incentives offered to the Chinese investor.
Do povećanja obujma izvoza iz Kambodže u Uniju i izvoza iz NRK-a u Kambodžu došlo je nakon nastavka mjera i povećanja konačnih antidampinških pristojbi Provedbenom uredbom (EU) 2015/82.
WKB was established in 2014 (production started in 2015).
To predstavlja promjenu strukture trgovine između NRK-a i Kambodže s jedne te Kambodže i Unije s druge strane.
Before establishment of WKB, the Er-Kang Group (mother group of WKB) was not involved in the production of the product concerned in the PRC.
Navodna praksa izbjegavanja mjera
The Er-Kang group also does not have any production activity in Malaysia, where the measures were recently extended by Regulation (EU) 2016/32.
Valjani razlozi ili ekonomsko opravdanje osim uvođenja antidampinške pristojbe
The establishment of WKB was part of a bigger investment project.
Prema nalazima ispitnog postupka postoje valjani razlozi ili ekonomsko opravdanje za početak gospodarske djelatnosti i uspostavu proizvodnje društva WKB u Kambodži.
At the same time, two other companies (a producer of starch and a producer of specialized starch) were established on the same location by the Er-Kang Group.
Činjenica da je kineski ulagatelj ulagao u WKB ne mijenja te nalaze.
The decision to locate production in Cambodia was driven to some extent by the access to raw-materials (cassava) but even more by the package of incentives offered by the Cambodian government.
Doista, glavni razlog za smještanje proizvodnih postrojenja u Kambodžu bio je paket poticaja ponuđen kineskom ulagatelju.
As confirmed during the consultations with the Council of Development of Cambodia and the Cambodian Ministry of Finance, the total Er-Kang Group investment was qualified as a qualified investment project (‘QIP’).
WKB je osnovan 2014. (proizvodnja je počela 2015.).
QIP, upon fulfilment of certain criteria of investment value and local employment content (thresholds are defined according to the sector of activity) and of export obligations, grants certain privileges with regard to import customs duties and taxes on imported machines and raw materials and to income tax grace period.
Prije osnivanja WKB-a grupa Er-Kang (matična grupa WKB-a) nije bila uključena u proizvodnju predmetnog proizvoda u NRK-u.
Transhipment allegation
Osim toga, grupa Er-Kang ne bavi se proizvodnom djelatnošću u Maleziji, na koju su mjere nedavno proširene Uredbom (EU) 2016/32.
As indicated in recital (6), the circumvention practice alleged in the request was the transhipment, with or or without minor processing operations, of the product concerned via Cambodia to the Union.
Osnivanje WKB-a bilo je dio većeg projekta ulaganja.
In order to assess this allegation, the Commission examined the quantities and type of the product concerned imported to Cambodia, whether the production or certain stages of production of the product under investigation take place in Cambodia, details of the production process, and the quantities and types of the product under investigation which is exported to the Union.
Istodobno je grupa Er-Kang na istoj lokaciji osnovala dva druga društva (proizvođač škroba i proizvođač specijaliziranog škroba).
Since the only exporter of the product under investigation, as explained in recital (22), is WKB, the Commission limited its examination to this company.
Odluka o smještanju proizvodnje u Kambodžu dijelom je potaknuta pristupom sirovinama (kasava), ali još više paketom poticaja koji je ponudila kambodžanska vlada.
The investigation confirmed that WKB has a full and active production line (including fermentation tanks) of the product under investigation located in Cambodia and that the product exported later to the Union is produced there.
Kako je potvrđeno tijekom savjetovanja s Vijećem za razvoj Kambodže i kambodžanskim Ministarstvom financija, ukupna ulaganja grupe Er-Kang smatrala su se kvalificiranim projektom ulaganja.
WKB has a production process of citric salt where citric acid is used as one of the raw materials.
Ako se ispune određeni kriteriji vrijednosti ulaganja i udjela u lokalnoj zaposlenosti (pragovi se utvrđuju prema sektoru djelatnosti) te obveze povezane s izvozom, kvalificirani projekt ulaganja omogućuje određene povlastice s obzirom na uvozne carine i poreze na uvezene strojeve i sirovine te razdoblje odgode za porez na dohodak.
This citric acid is mainly imported from the PRC but also from Thailand.
Tvrdnja o pretovaru
The decision on the source country being based on price levels.
Kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 6., praksu izbjegavanja mjera navedenu u zahtjevu činio je pretovar predmetnog proizvoda preko Kambodže, uz manje postupke prerade ili bez njih, i njegovo slanje u Uniju.
These operations are thus economically rational and do not suggest any intent to circumvent.
Kako bi ocijenila tu tvrdnju, Komisija je ispitala količine i vrstu predmetnog proizvoda uvezene u Kambodžu, obavljaju li se proizvodnja ili određene faze proizvodnje proizvoda iz ispitnog postupka u Kambodži, pojedinosti o postupku proizvodnje te količine i vrste proizvoda iz ispitnog postupka koji se izvozi u Uniju.
