The GOI claimed that MEIS is not countervailable for the following two reasons: (1) the scheme is in line with provisions of paragraph (g) and (h) of Annex I read with provisions of Annex II of the ASCM and (2) duty scrips are ‘credit notes’ that provide a benefit to the holder only at the time the scrip is used to offset import duties.
Na osnovi prethodno navedenog Komisija je utvrdila da su stope subvencije u pogledu tog programa tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije iznosile 1,90 % za grupu Dhunseri odnosno 1,93 % za društvo Reliance.
As far as the first reason is concerned, the GOI did not put forward any evidence. the mere allegation that the basic objective of the MEIS is to provide assistance to exporters to offset infrastructural inefficiencies and associated costs/taxes involved and to provide level playing field is not sufficient to show that the MEIS is in line with provisions of paragraph (g) and (h) of Annex I read with provisions of Annex II of the ASCM.
Vlada Indije tvrdila je da se za program MEIS ne mogu uvesti kompenzacijske mjere zbog sljedeća dva razloga: 1. program je u skladu s odredbama točaka (g) i (h) Priloga I. koje se čitaju zajedno s odredbama Priloga II.
In respect of the second reason it is recalled that, as explained in recital (108), from the moment the GOI delivers a duty scrip to the MEIS beneficiary this duty scrip can be used at any moment to offset certain duties or taxes or resold to another operator since duty scrips are freely transferable.
Sporazumu o subvencijama i kompenzacijskim mjerama i 2. otpisi pristojbi jesu „knjižna odobrenja” kojima se nositelju pruža korist samo u razdoblju u kojem se otpis upotrebljava za prebijanje uvoznih carina.
It is therefore considered that the GOI provides a benefit to the MEIS beneficiary at the moment the duty scrip is delivered.
Vlada Indije nije dostavila nikakve dokaze u pogledu prvog razloga.
This also appears to be the interpretation adopted by the Indian accounting standards since the financial value of the scrips is booked as account receivable as soon as the scrips are delivered by the GOI, as explained in recital (112), and not at the time it is actually used to offset a duty or tax.
Sama tvrdnja da je osnovni cilj programa MEIS pružiti pomoć izvoznicima da nadoknade infrastrukturne neučinkovitosti i povezane troškove/poreze te uspostaviti ravnopravne uvjete na tržištu nije dovoljna da bi se pokazalo da je program MEIS u skladu s odredbama točaka (g) i (h) Priloga I. koje se čitaju zajedno s odredbama Priloga II.
The Commission found that one company availed itself of this measure during the review investigation period.
Sporazumu o subvencijama i kompenzacijskim mjerama.
However, the investigation established that the benefit obtained was negligible, and this measure was thus not analysed further.
Kad je riječ o drugom razlogu, podsjećamo da se, kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 108., od trenutka kada Vlada Indije dostavi otpis pristojbi korisniku programa MEIS taj otpis može u bilo kojem trenutku upotrijebiti za prebijanje određenih pristojbi ili poreza ili preprodati drugom subjektu jer se otpisi pristojbi mogu slobodno prenositi.
AMOUNT OF COUNTERVAILABLE SUBSIDIES
Stoga se smatra da Vlada Indije dodjeljuje korist korisniku programa MEIS u trenutku dostave otpisa pristojbi.
The Commission recalls that the amount of subsidisation established for DPL and Reliance by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1350 were respectively 3,2 % and 6,2 %, which translated into countervailing duties of respectively 35,69 EUR/tonne and 69,39 EUR/tonne.
Čini se da je takvo tumačenje uvedeno i u indijske računovodstvene standarde jer se, kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 112., financijska vrijednost otpisa knjiži kao potraživanje čim Vlada Indije dostavi otpise, a ne u trenutku kada se stvarno upotrijebi za prebijanje pristojbe ili poreza.
During the current partial interim reviews the Commission found the amount of countervailing subsidies, expressed ad valorem, to be 2,3 % for the Dhunseri group and 4 % for Reliance.
Komisija je utvrdila da je jedno društvo iskoristilo predmetnu mjeru tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije.
As explained in recitals (27) to (30), the subsidy rates of the Dhunseri group reported in the table below were established by aggregating the data of IDIPL and MPPL, the two exporting producers of PET of the group during the review investigation period.
Međutim, ispitnim je postupkom utvrđeno da je ostvarena korist zanemariva i ta se mjera nije dodatno analizirala.
Rates for the individual countervailed subsidies
Komisija podsjeća na to da je Provedbenom uredbom (EU) 2015/1350 utvrđen iznos subvencioniranja od 3,2 % za društvo DPL i 6,2 % za društvo Reliance, što znači kompenzacijske pristojbe od 35,69 EUR po toni odnosno 69,39 EUR po toni.
Total
Tijekom trenutačnih djelomičnih privremenih revizija Komisija je utvrdila da je iznos subvencija protiv kojih se mogu uvesti kompenzacijske mjere, izraženih ad valorem, 2,3 % za grupu Dhunseri i 4 % za društvo Reliance.
Dhunseri group:
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnim izjavama od 27. do 30., stope subvencije za grupu Dhunseri navedene u tablici u nastavku utvrđene su objedinjenjem podataka društava IDIPL i MPPL, dvaju proizvođača izvoznika PET-a u grupi tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije.
The countervailing measures currently in force take the form of a specific duty.
Tablica
Consequently, on the basis of the subsidy rates described in the table above, the Commission established the following specific countervailing duties: 18,73 EUR/tonne for Dhunseri group and 29,21 EUR/tonne for Reliance.
Stope za pojedinačne subvencije protiv kojih su uvedene kompenzacijske mjere
In line with recital (16) above the Commission assessed the need to amend the rate of duty applicable to ‘all other companies’ in India which is 69,40 EUR/tonne.
Ukupno
In this respect it is recalled that the highest duty in force against Indian exporting producers, amounting to 74,60 EUR/tonne, is imposed against Pearl Engineering Polymers Ltd, a producer which was not subject to the present reviews.
Grupa Dhunseri:
As the highest duty is not amended in the present reviews, no amendment of the rate of duty applicable to ‘all other companies’ in India was warranted.
U skladu s prethodnom uvodnom izjavom 16.
LASTING NATURE OF CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES WITH REGARD TO SUBSIDISATION
Budući da se najviša pristojba ne mijenja ovim revizijama, nije opravdana izmjena stope pristojbe primjenjive na „sva ostala društva” u Indiji.
In accordance with Article 19(4) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether circumstances with regard to subsidisation changed significantly during the review investigation period and whether the changed circumstances were of a lasting nature.
TRAJNOST PROMIJENJENIH OKOLNOSTI U POGLEDU SUBVENCIONIRANJA
The Commission established that, during the review investigation period, the exporting producers concerned continued to benefit from countervailable subsidisation by the GOI, albeit at different rates.
U skladu s člankom 19. stavkom 4. osnovne uredbe ispitano je jesu li se znatno promijenile okolnosti u pogledu subvencioniranja tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije i jesu li te promijenjene okolnosti trajne.
As far as Reliance is concerned, the most important subsidies in terms of subsidisation rates during the review investigation period were DDS and MEIS.
Komisija je utvrdila da su tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije predmetni proizvođači izvoznici nastavili ostvarivati koristi od subvencija Vlade Indije protiv kojih se mogu uvesti kompenzacijske mjere, iako su stope tih koristi bile različite.
There is no indication that these subsidies will cease to exist in the foreseeable future.
Kad je riječ o društvu Reliance, najvažnije subvencije u pogledu stopa subvencioniranja tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije bile su one u okviru programa DDS i MEIS.
Both subsidies provide a benefit calculated as a fixed percentage of the FOB value of exports and there is no indication that the respective subsidy rates will be modified in the near future either.
Nema naznaka da će te subvencije u doglednoj budućnosti prestati postojati.
As far as DDS is concerned the subsidisation rate was reduced several times by the GOI over the last seven years: from 5,5 % of the FOB value in 2011 it went down to 3,9 % in 2012, 3,0 % in 2013, 2,4 % 2014, 1,9 % in 2015 and finally 1,5 % during the review investigation period.
Obje subvencije pružaju korist koja se izračunava kao točno utvrđen postotak vrijednosti izvoza FOB i nema naznaka ni da će se odgovarajuće stope subvencije u doglednoj budućnosti izmijeniti.
According to the website of the Central Board of Excise and Customs the rate was not modified since then.
Kad je riječ o programu DDS, Vlada Indije stopu subvencioniranja izmijenila je nekoliko puta u proteklih sedam godina: s 5,5 % vrijednosti FOB 2011. smanjila se na 3,9 % 2012., 3,0 % 2013., 2,4 % 2014., 1,9 % 2015. i konačno 1,5 % tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije.
As far as MEIS is concerned the rate of 2 % of the FOB value that became applicable to PET in October 2015 as explained in recital (106) has remained unchanged since then according to the website of the Directorate-General of Foreign Trade.
Prema podacima internetskih stranica Središnjeg odbora za carine i trošarine stopa se nakon toga nije mijenjala.
Regarding EPCGS no significant change of subsidisation rate is expected after the review investigation period either because (a) there were no indications of important planned imports of capital goods; and (b) any benefit conferred under this subsidy is spread over a large number of years corresponding to the depreciation period of the capital goods (between 18 to 25 years in India).
Kad je riječ o programu MEIS, stopa od 2 % vrijednosti FOB koja se u listopadu 2015. počela primjenjivati na PET, kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 106., prema podacima internetskih stranica Glavne uprave za vanjsku trgovinu otad se nije promijenila.
The AAS was Reliance's largest contributor of subsidisation during the last interim review mentioned in recital (7), as was concluded by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1350.
Kad je riječ o programu EPCGS, nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije ne očekuje se znatna promjena stope subvencioniranja jer (a) nije bilo naznaka važnog planiranog uvoza osnovnih sredstava i (b) svaka korist dodijeljena u okviru te subvencije raspoređena je tijekom velikog broja godina koji odgovara razdoblju amortizacije osnovnih sredstava (od 18 do 25 godina u Indiji).
As described in recital (46) above, during the review investigation period of the current review the AAS was barely used as most exports benefitted from DDS, which is mutually exclusive with AAS.
Program AAS najviše je pridonio subvencioniranju društva Reliance tijekom posljednje privremene revizije navedene u uvodnoj izjavi 7, kako je zaključeno u Provedbenoj uredbi (EU) 2015/1350.
The AAS scheme remains available and it cannot be excluded that Reliance starts using AAS again in the future but this would automatically reduce the benefits obtained through DDS since any given export transaction can benefit from only one of the two subsidies.
Kako je opisano u prethodnoj uvodnoj izjavi 46., program AAS gotovo uopće nije iskorišten tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka trenutačne revizije jer je većina izvoza ostvarila koristi iz programa DDS, koji je međusobno isključiv s programom AAS.
As set out in recitals (125) to (128) no evidence was found that the countervailed schemes will be discontinued or that their subsidisation levels will be either increased or decreased in the future.
Program AAS i dalje je dostupan i ne može se isključiti mogućnost da će ga društvo Reliance ponovno početi upotrebljavati u budućnosti, ali time bi se automatski smanjile koristi ostvarene u okviru programa DDS jer svaka izvozna transakcija može ostvariti korist samo od jedne od dviju subvencija.
During the review investigation period of the current interim review Reliance benefitted from less subsidisation than during the last interim review mentioned in recital (7), as was concluded by Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1350, as the subsidy rates found decreased from 6,2 % to 4 %.
Komisija je na temelju toga zaključila da su okolnosti koje su dovele do nove stope subvencioniranja društva Reliance trajne.
On the basis of recital (129), it is also likely that Reliance will continue to receive subsidies of an amount less than determined in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1350.
Tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka trenutačne privremene revizije društvo Reliance ostvarilo je koristi od niže razine subvencioniranja nego tijekom posljednje izvanredne revizije iz uvodne izjave 7., kako je zaključeno u Provedbenoj uredbi (EU) 2015/1350, jer su se utvrđene stope subvencioniranja smanjile sa 6,2 % na 4 %.
The Commission therefore concluded that the continuation of the existing measures would result in a level of duty higher than the countervailable subsidy causing injury.
Na temelju uvodne izjave 129. vjerojatno je i da će društvo Reliance nastaviti primati subvencije u iznosu manjem od onoga koji je utvrđen u Provedbenoj uredbi (EU) 2015/1350.
Consequently, the level of the measures in force should be amended to reflect the new situation.
Komisija je stoga zaključila da bi nastavak postojećih mjera doveo do razine pristojbi više od subvencije protiv koje se mogu uvesti kompenzacijske mjere i koja nanosi štetu.
As far as the Dhunseri group is concerned, the investigation established in recitals (27) to (30) that the structure of the group changed significantly.
Stoga bi se razina mjera na snazi trebala izmijeniti kako bi se u njoj odražavalo novo stanje.
Most importantly the group owned two PET plants during the review investigation period as compared to a single one during the previous interim review.
Kad je riječ o grupi Dhunseri, ispitnim je postupkom u uvodnim izjavama od 27. do 30. utvrđeno da se struktura grupe znatno promijenila.
The re-organisation which was conducted in the context of an alliance with partner IVL involved several legal steps over a period of almost two years and, in all likelihood, reached its completion when it was sanctioned by the High Court of Kolkata in December 2017.
Najvažnija je promjena činjenica da je grupa tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije bila vlasnica dviju tvornica PET-a, za razliku od prethodne privremene revizije kada je bila vlasnica jedne.
The Commission hence considered that the change of structure was of a lasting nature.
Na temelju navedenog i prethodnih zaključaka o trenutačnoj (i nižoj) razini subvencioniranja utvrđenoj u ovim revizijama zaključeno je da bi mjere na snazi trebalo izmijeniti kako bi se u njima odražavalo novo stanje.
It was therefore concluded that the measures in force should be amended to reflect the new situation also in view of the previous conclusions on the current (and lower) level of subsidisation found in these reviews.
OBLIK MJERA
FORM OF THE MEASURES
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 120., izmijenjene mjere u obliku su specifičnih pristojbi.
As explained in recital (120) the amended measures take the form of specific duties.
Stope specifičnih pristojbi izračunavaju se na temelju podataka povezanih s razdobljem ispitnog postupka revizije i stoga ostaju na istoj razini bez obzira na kretanje izvozne cijene.
The specific duty rates are calculated on the basis of data pertaining to the review investigation period and remain therefore at the same level regardless of the development of the export price.
Međutim, za razliku od subvencija kojima su se tijekom početnog ispitnog postupka ostvarili najveći iznosi subvencioniranja, na temelju dvaju glavnih programa subvencija (DDS i MEIS) tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije ostvaruju se financijske koristi koje su izravno proporcionalne izvoznoj cijeni.
However, by contrast to the subsidies conferring the biggest amounts of subsidisation during the original investigation, the two main subsidy schemes (DDS and MEIS) during the review investigation period confer financial benefits that are directly proportional to the export price.
Te su dvije subvencije činile 97 % odnosno 89 % ukupnog iznosa subvencioniranja grupe Dhunseri i društva Reliance tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka revizije.
Those two subsidies represented respectively 97 % and 89 % of the total subsidisation of the Dhunseri group and Reliance during the review investigation period.
To znači da se iznos subvencija protiv kojih se mogu uvesti kompenzacijske mjere automatski povećava u skladu s povećanjem izvozne cijene.
This implies that the amount of countervailable subsidies increases automatically in line with an increase in the export price.
Stoga se čini da se specifičnim pristojbama ne nadoknađuje na primjeren način stvarna stopa subvencioniranja od koje su dva proizvođača izvoznika ostvarila korist.
Therefore, specific duties do not seem to adequately offset the actual level of subsidisation that the two exporting producers benefited from.
Na temelju toga Komisija zbog navedenih okolnosti smatra da, za razliku od početnog ispitnog postupka, specifične pristojbe možda više nisu najprimjereniji oblik mjera.
On this basis, the Commission considered that, in contrast to the original investigation, specific duties may no longer be the most appropriate form of measures considering these circumstances.
Međutim, promjena oblika mjera ne može se predvidjeti u kontekstu trenutačnih privremenih revizija jer bi se takva promjena morala primijeniti na sve indijske proizvođače izvoznike, dok su trenutačne privremene revizije ograničene na utvrđivanje razine subvencioniranja samo dvaju proizvođača izvoznika.
A change in the form of the measures can however not be envisaged in the context of the current interim reviews because such a change would have to apply to all Indian exporting producers while the current interim reviews are limited in scope to the determination of the level of subsidisation of only two exporting producers.
Komisija je stoga odlučila zadržati trenutačni oblik mjera.
Therefore, the Commission decided to maintain the current form of the measures.
PONUDE ZA PREUZIMANJE CJENOVNE OBVEZE
PRICE UNDERTAKING OFFERS
Društvo IDIPL nakon objave je dostavilo ponudu za preuzimanje obveze u pogledu cijene.
Following the disclosure IDIPL submitted a price undertaking offer.
Ponuda je odbijena jer prirodom subvencioniranja nastaje situacija u kojoj bi se primjenom obveze minimalne uvozne cijene dovelo do povećanog subvencioniranja.
The offer was rejected as the nature of subsidisation creates a situation where application of minimum import price undertaking would have led to increased subsidisation.
Razlog je taj što razina subvencioniranja prema programima DDS i MEIS, koja zajedno čini 95 % subvencioniranja, ovisi o vrijednosti FOB proizvoda izvezenih prema tim programima.
This is because the level of subsidisation under DDS and MEIS, which jointly represent 95 % of the subsidisation, depends on the FOB value of products exported under these schemes.
Nadalje, struktura grupe kojoj pripada IDIPL učinila bi učinkovito praćenje obveze nepraktičnim.
Furthermore the structure of the group to which IDIPL belongs would have made the effective monitoring of an undertaking impracticable.
