The product concerned is fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoils obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or as included in a blend, originating in Argentina (‘the product concerned’).
SME biodizel mogao bi se upotrebljavati u čistom obliku, ali se obično miješa prije upotrebe u Uniji.
The investigation showed that biodiesel produced in Argentina is exclusively soybean methyl ester (‘SME’) derived from soybean oil, whereas biodiesel produced in the Union is mainly rapeseed methyl ester (‘RME’) but made also from other feedstock, including waste oils as well as virgin oils.
To se radi jer SME u čistom obliku nije u skladu s europskom normom EN 14214 u pogledu jodnog i cetanskog broja.
SME and RME both belong to the category of fatty-acid methyl esters (FAME).
SME se miješa s RME-om jer SME ima višu točku začepljenja filtra za gorivo na niskoj temperaturi (Cold Filter Plugging Point – CFPP) nego RME pa nije pogodan za upotrebu u čistom obliku tijekom zimskih mjeseci u hladnijim dijelovima Europske unije.
The term ‘ester’ refers to the transesterification of vegetable oils, namely, the mingling of the oil with alcohol, which produces biodiesel and, as a by-product, glycerine.
Te mješavine biodizela i mineralnih dizela na kraju se upotrebljavaju u prometnom sektoru kao gorivo za dizelske motore u cestovnim vozilima kao što su automobili, kamioni i autobusi te u vlakovima.
The term ‘methyl’ refers to methanol, the most commonly used alcohol in the process.
Biodizel u čistom obliku ili miješan s mineralnim dizelom može se upotrebljavati i kao gorivo za ogrjev u kućanskim, komercijalnim ili industrijskim kotlovima te kao gorivo za generatore koji proizvode električnu energiju.
SME biodiesel could be used in its pure form but is generally blended before being used in the Union.
Testira se uvođenje biodizela u zračni promet radi smanjenja emisije CO2 zračne industrije.
The reason for blending is that SME in its pure form does not meet the European standard EN 14214 as regards iodine and cetane numbers.

The reason for blending SME with RME is that SME has a higher Cold Filter Plugging Point (‘CFPP’) than RME and is therefore not suitable for use in its pure form during winter months in cold regions of the European Union.

Article 183.29 Santa Fe Stamp Tax Exemption;
Komisija je pri pokretanju postupka od vlade Argentine zatražila da dostavi podatke za kontakt (nazive, adrese i e-poštu) svih društava koja dostavljaju glavnu sirovinu (soju) za proizvodnju predmetnog proizvoda.
Article 127 Santa Fe turnover tax exemption for export sales.
Vlada Argentine nije dostavila te podatke za kontakt.
Government's support to the biodiesel industry including through the provision of soybeans for less than adequate remuneration
Budući da nije dostavila odgovor na to pitanje, vladi Argentine poslan je 17. travnja 2018. zahtjev za dostavljanje dodatnih informacija o najvećim proizvođačima/dobavljačima soje koji su argentinskim proizvođačima biodizela dostavljali sirovine.
The application of the provisions of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation
S obzirom na znatan broj društava koja su dostavljala glavnu sirovinu za predmetni proizvod, u duhu dobre suradnje i kako bi prikupila barem neke podatke relevantne za ispitni postupak, Komisija je zahtjev ograničila na podatke o samo deset najvažnijih proizvođača/dobavljača soje.
The Commission informed the GOA that it might have to resort to the use of facts available under Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation when examining the existence and the extent of the alleged support granted to the biodiesel industry including through the provision of soybeans for less than adequate remuneration.
Komisija nije primila sve informacije za većinu tih proizvođača/dobavljača sirovina za proizvodnju predmetnog proizvoda.
At initiation, the Commission requested the GOA to provide the contact details (names, addresses and email) of all the companies supplying the main input (soybeans) for the production of the product concerned.
Primila je zapravo samo informacije od proizvođača biodizela koji su sami proizvodili sojino ulje (ne soju).
The GOA did not provide those contact details.
Deset najvećih proizvođača soje nije dostavilo nikakve zatražene informacije.
Following the absence of a reply to that question, a request for additional information was sent to the GOA on 17 April 2018 regarding information in relation to the largest producers/suppliers of soybeans that have provided inputs to the Argentinian producers of biodiesel.
Budući da nije dobila te informacije, Komisija je smatrala da nije primila ključne informacije koje su relevantne za taj aspekt ispitnog postupka.
Given the significant number of companies providing the main input for the product concerned, in the spirit of good cooperation and in order to collect at least some relevant data for the investigation, the Commission limited its request to data from only the ten most important producers/suppliers of soybeans.
Nadalje, Komisija je zatražila bilo kakve raspoložive informacije iz prethodne uvodne izjave za dobavljače soje u 2014., 2015., 2016. i razdoblju ispitnog postupka u kojima vlada Argentine nema nikakvih udjela ili nije najveći dioničar.
The Commission did not receive full information for most of these producers/suppliers of inputs for the production of the product concerned.
Te su informacije zatražene kako bi se procijenilo jesu li dobavljač soje i proizvođač biodizela bili nepovezani, povezani ili dio istog subjekta.
In fact the Commission received only information from biodiesel producers who themselves produced soybean oil (not soybeans).
Komisija je zatražila dokaze da je vlada Argentine pokušala kontaktirati s tim dobavljačima ili da Komisiji navede kako bi se te informacije mogle dobiti (npr. preko relevantnih udruženja).
No information was received from the ten largest soybean producers, as requested.
Vlada Argentine nije uključila zatražene informacije niti bilo kakve dokaze da je barem pokušala kontaktirati s tim dobavljačima.
In the absence of such information, the Commission considered that it had not received crucial information relevant to this aspect of the investigation.
U odgovoru vlade Argentine od 15. veljače 2018. navedeno je da bi podatke koje je Komisija zatražila u pogledu uzgajivača soje mogla dostaviti četiri tijela, od kojih su dva ACSOJA (Asociación de la Cadena de la Soja Argentina) i CARBIO.
Furthermore, the Commission requested any available information requested in the preceding recital for those providers of soybeans in the years 2014, 2015, 2016 and the investigation period in which the GOA has no shareholding or is not the largest shareholder.
Službe Komisije sastale su se s oba tijela tijekom posjeta radi provjere u Argentini, ali nisu primljeni nikakvi podaci o dobavljačima soje.
That information was required to assess whether the soybeans supplier and the biodiesel producer were unrelated, related or part of the same entity.
Ta druga dva tijela nisu ispitana s obzirom na ograničeno raspoloživo vrijeme.
The Commission requested evidence that the GOA attempted to contact those suppliers or to indicate to the Commission how such information could be obtained (e.g. through relevant associations).
ACSOJA i CARBIO odabrani su za ispitivanje kao dva tijela koja bi najvjerojatnije mogla moći pomoći u ispitnom postupku.
The GOA did not include the information requested, or any evidence of the GOA's attempts to even contact those suppliers.
Tijekom sastanka s ACSOJA-om predstavnici Komisije postavili su niz pitanja o stanju na tržištu soje u Argentini, o odnosu dobavljača soje i proizvođača biodizela te o utjecaju poreza na izvoz na njihovu djelatnost.
The GOA's reply of 15 February 2018 advised that the data requested by the Commission on the soybean growers could be provided by four bodies, two of which being ACSOJA (Asociación de la Cadena de la Soja Argentina) and CARBIO.
Predstavnik ACSOJA-e nije dao nikakav smislen odgovor na ta pitanja ni dostavio konkretne podatke i dokaze korisne za ispitni postupak.
The Commission services met with both bodies during the verification visit in Argentina but no data on soybean suppliers was received.
Bilo je jasno da ACSOJA samo predstavlja druga predstavnička tijela u sojinom vrijednosnom lancu i da nije mogla detaljnije odgovoriti na upite ili službama Komisije dati informacije o proizvodnji soje koje su zatražene u upitniku.
The other two bodies were not inspected given the limited amount of time available.
Jednako tako, ACSOJA se tijekom posjeta radi provjere obvezala poslati priopćenja za medije o porezu na izvoz soje i kraju njezina proizvodnog lanca.
ACSOJA and CARBIO were chosen to be inspected as the two most likely to be able to assist with the investigation.
Komisija nikad nije primila ta priopćenja za medije.
During the meeting with ACSOJA, the Commission representatives asked a number of questions on the market situation of soybeans in Argentina, on their supply relationship with the biodiesel producers and on the impact of the export tax on their activity.
Budući da je CARBIO udruženje proizvođača biodizela, Komisiji nije mogao dati zatražene podatke o proizvođačima soje.
The ACSOJA representative did not provide any meaningful reply to those questions, and did not provide specific data and evidence useful for the investigation.
Stoga, u pogledu navodne vladine dobave soje uz naknadu manju od primjerene, vlada Argentine nije dostavila potrebne informacije i dokaze koje je Komisija zatražila u upitniku, u dopisu od 17. travnja 2018. i tijekom posjeta radi provjere.
It was clear that ACSOJA simply represented other representative bodies in the soybean value chain and was unable to answer detailed enquiries, or give the Commission services the information requested in the questionnaire with regard to the production of soybeans.
Zbog nedostatne suradnje Komisija nije mogla prikupiti sve informacije koje smatra relevantnima za svoje nalaze u ovom ispitnom postupku.
Also, ACSOJA committed during the verification visit to sending press releases concerning the export tax on soybeans and its downstream production.
Točnije, Komisija nije mogla dobiti informacije i podatke o tržištu za proizvođače soje, utjecaju vladinih mjera (kao što je porez na izvoz soje) na njihovo ponašanje te o opskrbi proizvođača biodizela sojom.
The Commission never received such press releases.
Te su informacije uključivale ponašanje i odluke proizvođača soje prije i poslije uvođenja te različitih izmjena poreza na izvoz i drugih sličnih mjera ograničavanja, njihove proizvodne strategije i mogućnost prelaska na druge poljoprivredne kulture, dostupnost obradivog zemljišta i pristup njemu, obilježja i dinamiku tržišta s obzirom na razlikovanje velikih društava i MSP-ova, kanale za prodaju i stavljanje proizvoda na tržište te strategije za njihova domaća i izvozna tržišta, cijene i politike određivanja cijena na njihovim domaćim i izvoznim tržištima, utjecaj međunarodne cijene na njihove politike određivanja cijena, situaciju u pogledu tržišnog natjecanja u zemlji i na izvoznim tržištima, njihovu profitabilnost tijekom godina, utjecaj mogućeg prekomjernog kapaciteta i strategije stvaranja zaliha, uvoz i izvoz njihovih glavnih kupaca u zemlji i na izvoznim tržištima, uključujući ulogu industrije drobljenja soje i dodanu vrijednost ostvarenu u industriji drobljenja te situaciju u pogledu tržišnog natjecanja u industriji mljevenja u Argentini i na međunarodnim tržištima.
As CARBIO is an association of biodiesel producers, it was not able to give the Commission the details on soybean producers that were required.
Nadalje, suprotno tvrdnjama vlade Argentine u njezinu odgovoru na upitnik, tijekom posjeta radi provjere službe Komisije utvrdile su da se pokazalo da je vlada Argentine bila vlasnik jednog dobavljača soje za industriju biodizela, odnosno društva YPF.
Consequently, with regard to the alleged government provision of soybeans for less than adequate remuneration, the GOA did not provide the necessary information and evidence as requested by the Commission in its questionnaire, in the letter of 17 April 2018 and during the verification visit.
Međutim, s obzirom na to da je YPF tek jedan od stotina dobavljača soje za industriju biodizela, informacije koje je dostavio taj dobavljač nisu bile dostatne kako bi se utvrdilo ponašanje preostalih dobavljača soje za industriju biodizela.
The absence of sufficient cooperation did not allow the Commission to collect all the information it considers relevant for its findings in this investigation.
Konkretno, YPF ne uzgaja soju, ali je prihvaća kao sredstvo plaćanja za svoje gnojivo i gorivo te je zatim prodaje na argentinskom domaćem tržištu.
More specifically, the Commission could not obtain information and data on the market for soybeans producers, the impact of the government measures (such as the export tax of soybeans) on their behaviour as well as on the supply of soybeans to the biodiesel producers.
Stoga nije reprezentativan za uzgajivače soje koji opskrbljuju industriju biodizela.
That information included the behaviour and decisions of soybeans producers prior and subsequent to the introduction and the various changes of the export taxes and other similarly restrictive measures, their production strategies and the possibility to switch to alternative crops, the availability and access to arable land, the market features and dynamics with regard to the differentiation between large companies and SMEs, the sales and marketing channels and strategies for their domestic and export markets, the prices and pricing policies in their domestic and export markets, the impact of the international price on their pricing policies, the competition situation domestically and in export markets, their profitability over the years, the impact of possible overcapacity and stockpiling strategies, the imports and exports of their main customers domestically and in export markets including the role of the soybean crushers' industry and the added-value achieved by the crushers' industry as well as the competition situation of the crushers' industry in Argentina and in international markets.
Budući da vlada Argentine nije dostavila informacije koje bi to opovrgle, Komisija se za svoje nalaze o tim aspektima ispitnog postupka djelomično oslanjala na raspoložive podatke u skladu s člankom 28. osnovne uredbe.
Furthermore, contrary to what the GOA had asserted in its reply to the questionnaire, during the verification visit the Commission services found that it transpired that the GOA had ownership of one provider of soybeans to the biodiesel industry, namely YPF.
Komisija je ponovila da vlada Argentina nije dostavila podatke za kontakt uzgajivača soje te da je dostavila samo djelomične informacije o proizvođačima sojina ulja.
However, as YPF is only one of the hundreds of suppliers of soybeans to the biodiesel industry, the information submitted by this provider, was insufficient to establish the behaviour of the remaining suppliers of soybeans to the biodiesel industry.
ACSOJA i CARBIO nisu dostavili informacije koje je Komisija zatražila u upitniku i tijekom sastanaka koje je održala s njima.
In particular, YPF does not grow soybeans, but accepts soybeans as payment for its fertiliser and fuel and then sells the soybeans on the Argentinian domestic market.
Štoviše, tijekom tih je sastanaka postalo je jasno da predstavnik ACSOJA-e nije u mogućnosti odgovoriti na detaljna tehnička pitanja te da je CARBIO udruženje proizvođača biodizela, a ne proizvođača soje.
In the absence of information to the contrary received from the GOA, the Commission partially relied on facts available for its findings regarding those aspects of the investigation in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija se stoga morala osloniti na raspoložive podatke o tom aspektu ispitnog postupka.
Following the disclosure of the information document, the GOA disputed again that it did not cooperate fully regarding information requested from soybean farmers and referred to its letter dated 20 July 2018.
Budući da vlada Argentine nije dostavila podatke o prodaji uzgajivača soje u Argentini, Komisija se oslonila na podatke o domaćoj cijeni soje koje su dostavili proizvođači izvoznici u uzorku.
CARBIO also claimed that the Commission incorrectly stated that the GOA did not cooperate.
Nadalje, Komisija se oslonila na javno dostupne informacije o tome kako je vlada Argentine uzgajivače soje usmjeravala ili im je povjeravala da prodaju soju na domaćem tržištu uz naknadu manju od primjerene te o namjeri vlade Argentine da podupire industriju biodizela tim i drugim povezanim mjerama.
The Commission reiterated that the GOA did not provide contact details for soybean growers and only partial information for soybean oil producers.
Nakon konačne objave vlada Argentine i CARBIO ponovno su izrazili neslaganje s Komisijinim korištenjem raspoloživim podacima u skladu s člankom 28. osnovne uredbe.
ACSOJA and CARBIO did not provide the information that the Commission had requested in the questionnaire nor during the meetings held with them.
Tvrdili su da je korištenje raspoloživim podacima opravdano samo ako zainteresirana strana ne dostavi „potrebne informacije”, nužne za određeni zaključak.
