Contrary to the views of a few interested parties, it is against this backdrop that a 25 % level Union off-quota tariff rate is not arbitrary but appears to be fully proportionate measure and perfectly consistent with the objective to protect the Union steel market against a surge of imports, which in the recent period originates to a large extent in the trade deviation that the US protectionist measures are producing.
S obzirom na primjedbe zainteresiranih strana o primjeni jednog makroekonomskog modela za sve kategorije proizvoda zajedno umjesto raščlanjenije analize s modelom, Komisija, kako je objašnjeno u privremenoj fazi i u prethodnom odjeljku 2., smatra da je s obzirom na visoku razinu međusobne povezanosti kategorija proizvoda s gledišta ponude i potražnje, takva sveobuhvatna ocjena u potpunosti primjerena, posebno ako se uzimaju konzervativne vrijednosti elastičnosti.
In fact, worldwide steel exporters confronted with a 25 % or 50 % tariff or with restrictive quotas in the US could redirect their exports to the Union above the level of their traditional sales and produce injury to the Union steel industry if there is not a sufficiently deterring hurdle in the Union when imports start exceeding their traditional levels.
Komisija je u Privremenoj uredbi navela da će pažljivo pratiti kretanje uvoza prije donošenja konačnog stajališta.
It is important to highlight here again that, whereas the tariffs under the Section 232 measures are levied from the first import and therefore seriously distort import trade inflows downwards, the Union tariff-rate quota allows the continued entry of imports from all origins without additional hurdles and only produce effects if the relevant quotas representing the traditional flow of imports from every origin are exceeded, notably because of the trade diversion produced by the US measures.
Statistički podaci SAD-a i Unije o uvozu kategorija proizvoda čelika u ispitnom postupku pokazuju da, unatoč znatnom povećanju cijena zbog mjera iz odjeljka 232. na tržištu SAD-a, postoji znatan trajni pad uvoza u SAD-u u zadnjih šest mjeseci, od svibnja 2018., što odgovara stalnom porastu uvoza istih kategorija čelika u Uniju, u istom razdoblju.
In these circumstances, unless the Union imposes an above quota tariff on the relevant steel imports of an amount at least equal to the tariff applied by the US, the exporter to the US will gain extra margin or minimise the loss thereof by redirecting sales to the EU.
Od svibnja do rujna 2018. uvoz SAD-a kategorija proizvoda u ispitnom postupku smanjio se za 2,6 milijuna tona u odnosu na isto razdoblje 2017., dok je uvoz istih proizvoda u EU znatno porastao s povećanjem od 2 milijuna tona (77 % smanjenja u SAD-u) u istom razdoblju.
This analysis indicates that the lower end of the off-quota tariff level capable of ensuring a minimal protection of the Union against the trade diversion should at least be 25 %.
To predstavlja jasan trend rasta.
However, this level will not stop trade diversion.
Ti podaci jasno pokazuju da se namjeravani učinci protekcionističkih mjera SAD-a iz odjeljka 232., odnosno smanjenje uvoza čelika od 13,3 milijuna metričkih tona u usporedbi s 2017. ostvaruju.
As import prices are pushed upwards in the US by protectionist measures, an important proportion of US steel production that previously was uneconomic becomes profitable, displacing imports and diverting trade towards other markets, being the Union the most attractive alternative destination.
Stoga se čini da najnoviji uočeni trendovi uvoza nisu u suprotnosti s pretpostavkama primijenjenima u modelu o mogućem stupnju preusmjeravanja trgovine od oko 70 % koji bi mjere SAD-a na kraju mogle postići nakon što tijekom vremena postanu vidljivi puni protekcionistički učinci.
In this context, the micro economic simulations of the contribution margin of landed Union imports proposed by the Union industry and presented at provisional stage by the Commission are key to discuss the commercial behaviour of an exporter confronted with the above-mentioned choice of selling on the US market after payment of the Section 232 tariffs or alternatively exporting incrementally to the Union beyond its traditional sales to avoid such payment.
To ne bi bilo ni u suprotnosti s potrebom za carinskom stopu izvan kvote po stopi većoj od 30 % kako bi se tržište Unije u potpunosti zaštitilo od njihovih izazvanih učinaka.
Contrary to the comments made by some parties, the assumptions made in the simulations are realistic and conservative.
Ta se razina podudara i s prethodno opisanim rezultatom mikroekonomskih simulacija.
They are not mainly based on Chinese costs.
U skladu s time, Komisija je odlučila potvrditi carinsku stopu izvan kvote od 25 %, što predstavlja nižu i najmanje ometajuću korektivnu opciju protiv preusmjeravanja trgovine koje proizvode mjere SAD-a iz odjeljka 232.
The most important component of the costs used in the simulation is a raw material basket valued at international prices.
Upravljanje carinskim kvotama
Chinese benchmarks are only used for a comparatively lower proportion of ancillary variable costs on top of the raw materials, on account that China is one of the most prominent exporters across product categories.
Kako je prethodno objašnjeno, na temelju interesa Unije i kako bi se što je moguće više zadržali tradicionalni trgovinski tokovi, najbolji način da se osigura optimalna uporaba carinskih kvota jest da se one raspodjele među zemljama koje imaju znatan interes za opskrbu predmetnog proizvoda, a za ostale zemlje prema kronološkom redoslijedu datuma prihvaćanja deklaracija o puštanju u slobodni promet, kako je predviđeno Provedbenom uredbom Komisije (EU) 2015/2447.
Finally, the choice of freight costs from China to the Union to calculate the landed cost is a very conservative assumption in the calculation, since if lower freight costs of other possible origins were used the contribution margin would be higher.
Ta metoda upravljanja zahtijeva blisku suradnju između država članica i Komisije.
These simulations allow calculating the actual level of the out-of-quota tariff capable of deterring trade diversion.
Prihvatljivost robe uvezene iz zemalja u razvoju za izuzimanje iz carinskih kvota ovisi o podrijetlu robe.
As explained in the provisional measures' regulation, these simulations show that the contribution to the margin of the sales for an exporter of steel to the Union in a large variety of the most representative steel product categories under investigation are in excess of 30 % with a median of 34 %.
Stoga bi se trebali primjenjivati kriteriji za utvrđivanje nepovlaštenog podrijetla koji su trenutačno na snazi u Uniji.
Only above-quota tariffs at these levels would be able to completely offset the contribution to the margin of the relevant steel imports into the Union market and this way remove the incentive for an exporter to the US to redirect diverted sales to the Union market as with this tariff they become uneconomic.
U svrhu donošenja konačnih mjera, kako bi se omogućio nastavak tradicionalnih trgovinskih tokova, utvrdit će se konkretna kvota za svaku od kategorija proizvoda za koju se ovom Uredbom uvode konačne mjere.
Against this background, the Union has chosen to adopt the least disruptive above quota tariff level of 25 %, which is at the lower end among the range of options discussed above.
Primjenjive antidampinške i antisubvencijske mjere
As explained, this above quota tariff level does not grant full protection shielding the Union completely against trade diversion.
Nakon uvođenja privremenih mjera, nekoliko korisnika i uvoznika ponovilo je svoje tvrdnje da proizvođači iz Unije ne trebaju dodatnu zaštitu zbog postojećih antidampinških i antisubvencijskih mjera te da se u svakom slučaju zaštitne i antidampinške/antisubvencijske mjere ne smiju kumulirati.
To the contrary, it will not only allow the free flow of traditional imports, but, on top, said quota tariff levels will also make it possible that, despite the payment of the tariff, a limited proportion of trade diverted sales still remain possible on the Union market, even when traditional trade levels are exceeded to meet an expected increasing demand.
Komisija podsjeća da antidampinške i kompenzacijske mjere u vezi s carinama ne teže zatvaranju tržišta Unije, već samo uklanjanju nepoštenih trgovačkih praksi.
With respect to the comments made by interested parties on the use of a single macro-economic model taking all the product categories together instead of using more disaggregated analysis with the model, the Commission, as explained at provisional stage and in Section 2 above, considers that given the high degree of interconnections between the product categories from a supply and demand point of view such an overall assessment is fully pertinent notably if conservative values of elasticities are taken.
Kao takve, te mjere koje služe rješavanju situacije dampinga i subvencioniranja specifične za određenu zemlju, imaju drugačiji opseg primjene i svrhu od zaštitne mjere uvedene ovom Uredbom i međusobno se ne isključuju.
The US and Union statistics on imports of the product categories of steel under investigation show that despite the important increase in prices by the Section 232 measures on the US market, there is a substantial lasting decrease of imports in the US in the last six months since May 2018 which is corresponded with a sustained increase in the growth of imports into the Union of the same steel product categories during the same period.
Privremene uredbe, Komisija priznaje da kumuliranje antidampinških/antisubvencijskih mjera s mjerama zaštite može imati veći učinak od poželjnog.
Since May up to September 2018, the US imports of the product categories under investigation decreased by 2,6 million tonnes with respect to the same period in 2017, whereas the EU imports of the same products surged substantially with an increase of 2 million tonnes (77 % of the US decrease) over the same period.
Budući da bi se to pitanje kumuliranja moglo pojaviti samo nakon što se dosegne gornja granica carinskih kvota, Komisija će istražiti potrebu da se to pitanje pravodobno riješi u kasnijoj fazi.
These data noticeably show that the intended effects of the US Section 232 protectionist measures to produce a reduction in steel imports of 13,3 million metric tons from 2017 levels is well underway.
Trajanje
Therefore, the observed most recent import trends do not appear to contradict the assumptions made in the model of possible trade diversion rate of about 70 % which the US measures could eventually achieve once they will have deployed their full protectionist effects over time.
Budući da je trajanje mjera dulje od godinu dana, mjere se moraju postupno liberalizirati u redovitim razmacima tijekom razdoblja primjene.
Nor would this contradict the ensuing need to have an above quota tariff rate of above 30 % to fully shield the Union market from their induced effects.
Komisija smatra da je najprikladniji način liberalizacije mjera povećanje razine kvota za oslobođenje od carine za 5 % nakon svake godine.
This level also coincides with the above-described result of the microeconomic simulations.
Nadzor nad proizvodima od čelika
Accordingly, the Commission has decided to confirm the 25 % above quota tariff rate representing the lower end and least disruptive remedial option against the trade diversion produced by the US Section 232 measures.
Nadzorne mjere za proizvode od čelika koji podliježu ovom ispitnom postupku uvedene su u travnju 2016. budući da se činilo da trendovi uvoza prijete uzrokovanjem ozbiljne štete.
Administration of the tariff-rate quotas
S obzirom na rezultate ovog ispitnog postupka i uvođenje konačnih zaštitnih mjera, Komisija smatra da bi sustav nadzora nad proizvodima od čelika koji podliježu zaštitnim mjerama trebalo suspendirati tijekom primjene zaštitnih mjera.
As explained above, based on Union interest considerations and in order to maintain as far as possible traditional trade flows, the best way of ensuring optimal use of the tariff quotas is to allocate it between the countries having a substantial interest in supplying the product concerned and, for the others, in the chronological order of the dates on which declarations of release for free circulation are accepted, as provided for in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2447.
ISKLJUČIVANJE ODREĐENIH ZEMALJA IZ OPSEGA KONAČNIH MJERA
This method of administration calls for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission.
U skladu s člankom 18.
The eligibility of imported goods from developing countries to be excluded from the tariff quotas is dependent on the origin of the goods.
Uredbe (EU) 2015/478 i međunarodnim obvezama Unije, privremene mjere se ne bi trebale primjenjivati ni na jedan proizvod podrijetlom iz neke zemlje u razvoju članice WTO-a sve dok njezin udio u uvozu tog proizvoda u Uniju ne premaši 3 %, uz uvjet da zemlje u razvoju članice WTO-a s manje od 3 % udjela u uvozu zajedno ne čine više od 9 % Unijinog ukupnog uvoza predmetnog proizvoda.
The criteria for determining non-preferential origin currently in force in the Union should therefore be applied.
Konačna odluka Komisije pokazuje da predmetne kategorije proizvodâ podrijetlom iz određenih zemalja u razvoju ispunjavaju zahtjeve za ostvarivanje koristi na temelju navedenog odstupanja.
For the purpose of the definitive measures, in order to permit traditional trade flows to continue, a specific quota will be determined for each of the product categories on which this Regulation imposes definitive measures.
U Prilogu III.2.
Applicable anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures
(Popis kategorija proizvoda podrijetlom iz zemalja u razvoju na koje se primjenjuju konačne mjere) navedene su zemlje u razvoju za potrebe ove Uredbe.
After the imposition of provisional measures, several users and importers reiterated their claims that Union producers are not in need of additional protection because of the existing anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures, and that in any event safeguard and anti-dumping/anti-subsidy measures should not be cumulated.
Osim toga, za svaku od 26 kategorija proizvodâ navedene su zemlje u razvoju na koje se primjenjuju privremene mjere.
The Commission recalls that anti-dumping and countervailing duty measures do not seek to close the Union market but merely remedy injurious trading practices.
Komisija smatra primjerenim izračunavanje obujma uvoza iz zemalja u razvoju na temelju statističkih podataka za svaku kategoriju proizvodâ tijekom zadnjeg razdoblja, jer je i carinska kvota utvrđena uzimajući u obzir tradicionalne trgovinske tokove za svaku kategoriju pojedinačno.
As such, these measures target country-specific situations of dumping and subsidisation, have a different scope of application and purpose than the safeguard measure imposed by way of this Regulation, and are not mutually exclusive.
Budući da bi se isključivanje zemalja u razvoju članica WTO-a trebalo primjenjivati sve dok njihov udio u uvozu Unije ne premaši 3 %, Komisija će redovito, a najmanje na kraju svake godine uvođenja mjera, provoditi ocjenu situacije kako bi se ispitalo je li određena zemlja premašila gornji prag te bi je stoga trebalo uključiti u opseg zaštitnih mjera.
However, as mentioned in recital (117) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission acknowledges that a cumulation of anti-dumping/anti-subsidy measures with safeguards may lead to a greater effect than desirable.
Kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 80.
Since this issue of cumulation would only potentially arise once tariff-rate quota ceilings are reached, the Commission will explore the need to address the issue at a later stage and in due course.
Privremene uredbe, na temelju bliske integracije tržištâ s članicama EGP-a, podataka o ukupnom izvozu iz tih zemalja te niskog rizika od preusmjeravanja trgovine, Komisija smatra da bi proizvode u postupku ocjenjivanja podrijetlom iz Norveške, Islanda i Lihtenštajna trebalo izuzeti iz primjene ove Uredbe.
In this framework, in order to avoid the imposition of ‘double remedies’ whenever the tariff quota is exceeded, the Commission may consider necessary to suspend or reduce the level of the existing anti-dumping and countervailing duties to ensure that the combined effect of these measures does not exceed the highest level of the safeguard or anti-dumping/countervailing duties in place.
Nadalje, kako bi se ispunile bilateralne obveze, i neke zemlje s kojima je Unija potpisala Sporazum o gospodarskom partnerstvu koji je trenutno na snazi trebale bi biti isključene iz primjene ove Uredbe.
Duration
Nakon uvođenja privremenih mjera Komisija nije zaprimila nikakve primjedbe koje bi dovele do izmjene tih zaključaka, koji se stoga potvrđuju.
The Commission considers that the measures should be in place for a period of three years (including the period of imposition of the provisional measures), expiring on 30 June 2021.
OBVEZE KOJE PROIZLAZE IZ BILATERALNIH SPORAZUMA IZMEĐU UNIJE I TREĆIH ZEMALJA.
A tariff-rate quota should be open for the period 2 February 2019 to 30 June 2019, thereafter, for the period of 1 July 2019 to 30 June 2020, and, thereafter, for the period 1 July 2020 to 30 June 2021, as specified in Annex VI for each product category concerned.
Komisija je osigurala da su zaštitne mjere poduzete u skladu s ovom Uredbom isto tako u skladu s obvezama koje proizlaze iz bilateralnih sporazuma potpisanih s određenim trećim zemljama.
Since the duration of the measures is for over a year, the measures must be progressively liberalised at regular intervals during the period of application.
U tom se pogledu napominje da je utvrđeno da se uvoz iz bivše jugoslavenske republike Makedonije u Uniju znatno povećao u razdoblju obuhvaćenom ispitnim postupkom te da je pridonio prijetnji ozbiljne štete za Unijinu industriju čelika.
The Commission considers that the most appropriate way to liberalise the measures is to increase the level of the free of duty quota by 5 % after the each year.
Taj uvoz stoga ispunjava uvjete potrebne za poduzimanje zaštitnih mjera u skladu s člankom 37. stavkom 1.
This should include the period of application of provisional measures, meaning that the first liberalisation will take place on 1 July 2019, with the second liberalisation taking place on 1 July 2020.
Sporazuma o stabilizaciji i pridruživanju između Europskih zajednica i njihovih država članica i bivše jugoslavenske republike Makedonije.
Subsequent liberalisations will follow the same pattern.
K tome, uzimajući u obzir opseg i zaključke ispitnog postupka smatra se da su prisutni ozbiljni poremećaji u sektoru čelika te da su stoga zaštitne mjere opravdane i na temelju članka 26.
Surveillance on steel products
Sporazuma između Europske ekonomske zajednice i Švicarske Konfederacije sklopljenog 1972.
Surveillance measures on steel products subject to this investigation were introduced in April 2016 since it appeared that trends in imports threatened to cause serious injury.
Konačno, uvoz podrijetlom iz Turske isto tako ispunjava uvjete propisane člankom 12.
Given the findings of this investigation and the imposition of definitive safeguard measures, the Commission considers that the surveillance system on steel products subject to safeguard measures should be suspended during the time of the imposition of safeguard measures.
Sporazuma sklopljenog između Europske zajednice za ugljen i čelik i Republike Turske o trgovini proizvodima obuhvaćenima Ugovorom o osnivanju Europske zajednice za ugljen i čelik te člankom 60.
EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN COUNTRIES FROM THE SCOPE OF THE DEFINITIVE MEASURES
Dodatnog protokola potpisanog 23. studenoga 1970. priloženog Sporazumu o pridruživanju između Europske ekonomske zajednice i Turske.
In accordance with Article 18 of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 and the international obligations of the Union, the provisional measures should not apply to any product originating in a developing country member of the WTO as long as its share of imports of that product into the Union does not exceed 3 %, provided that developing country members of the WTO with less than a 3 % import share, collectively account for not more than 9 % of total Union imports of the product concerned.
Uzimajući u obzir sudsku praksu Suda, primjereno je predvidjeti stopu zatezne kamate koja će se platiti u slučaju mogućih povrata konačnih pristojbi jer se u relevantnim odredbama na snazi u pogledu carinskih pristojbi ne predviđa ta kamatna stopa i jer bi primjena nacionalnih pravila dovela do neopravdanih narušavanja odnosa među gospodarskim subjektima, ovisno o tome koja je država članica odabrana za carinjenje.
The final determination made by the Commission shows that the product categories concerned originating in certain developing countries meet the requirements to benefit from the abovementioned derogation.
Mjere iz ove Uredbe u skladu su s mišljenjem Odbora za zaštitne mjere uspostavljenog u skladu s člankom 3. stavkom 3.
Annex III.2 (List of product categories originating in developing countries to which the provisional measures apply) specifies the developing countries for the purposes of this Regulation.
Uredbe (EU) 2015/478 odnosno člankom 22. stavkom 3.
It also indicates for each of the 26 product categories the developing countries to which the provisional measures apply.
Uredbe (EU) 2015/755,
The Commission considers it appropriate to calculate the volume of imports from developing countries, based on statistics available during the most recent period for each product category since the tariff rate quota is also established by reference to traditional trade flows from each category individually.
DONIJELA JE OVU UREDBU:
Since the exclusion of the developing country Members of the WTO should apply as long as their share of Union imports does not exceed 3 %, the Commission will carry out an assessment of the situation on a regular basis, and at least at the end of each year of imposition of measures, in order to examine whether any country has exceeded the above threshold and should eventually be included in the scope of the safeguard measures.
Članak 1.
As set out in recital (80) of the provisional Regulation, on account of the close integration of markets with EEA members, the overall figures of imports from these countries, and the low risk of trade diversion, the Commission considers that the products under assessment originating in Norway, Iceland, and Liechtenstein should be excluded from the application of this Regulation.
U skladu s člancima 6. i 7., otvara se carinska kvota za uvoz u Uniju svake od 26 predmetnih kategorija proizvoda (definirane prema povezanim relevantnim oznakama KN u Prilogu I.) i za svako od razdoblja navedenih u Prilogu IV.1. i IV.2.
Furthermore, in order to comply with bilateral obligations, certain countries with which the Union has signed an Economic Partnership Agreement that is currently in force should also be excluded from the application of this Regulation.
Za svaku od predmetnih kategorija proizvoda, uz iznimku kategorije proizvoda 1, dio svake carinske kvote dodjeljuje se zemljama navedenima u Prilogu IV.
After the imposition of the provisional measures, the Commission did not receive any comment that would lead to a change in these conclusions which are therefore confirmed.
Preostali dio svake carinske kvote, kao i carinska kvota za kategoriju proizvoda 1, dodjeljuje se prema načelu „prvi po redoslijedu”, na temelju carinske kvote koja je utvrđena jednako za svako tromjesečje razdoblja primjene.
OBLIGATIONS ARISING FROM BI-LATERAL AGREEMENTS BETWEEN THE UNION AND THIRD COUNTRIES.
Povlačenja svake tromjesečne kvote obustavljaju se dvadesetog radnog dana Komisije, nakon završetka tromjesečnog razdoblja.
The Commission ensured that the safeguard measures taken pursuant to this Regulation also complies with the obligations arising from the bilateral Agreements signed with certain third countries.
Na kraju svakog tromjesečja neiskorišteni saldo carinske kvote automatski se prenosi u sljedeće tromjesečje.
