Exports of the Union industry
Nakon uvođenja privremenih mjera, Komisija nije primila nikakve primjedbe proizvođača iz Unije koje bi bile u suprotnosti s tim stajalištem.
Export volume (000 tonnes)
Stoga su potvrđeni privremeni zaključci.
Export price (EUR/tonne)
Interes uvoznika i korisnika iz Unije
The above table demonstrates two things.
Komisija je poslala upitnike poznatim uvoznicima i korisnicima kako bi procijenila njihov interes.
Firstly, the volumes exported by the Union industry throughout the period considered are relatively small as compared to the volumes sold on the Union market – they accounted, depending on the year, for 17 % - 19 % of the sales volumes of the Union industry only.
Komisija je primila 61 odgovor od uvoznika i 70 odgovora od korisnika koji nisu povezani s uvoznicima.
Secondly, the export price development was rather flat over the period considered, with the exception of 2016 when export prices were overall significantly lower than in the other years (the cost of production was also at a low in 2016).
Uvoznici i korisnici isto su tako usmeno i pismeno iznijeli svoja stajališta.
Based on the export sales volumes, the development of those volumes over the period considered and the export sales prices, the Commission found no reason to assume that export sales performance of the Union industry is a major threat of serious injury to the Union industry.
Nekoliko uvoznika i korisnika iz Unije tvrdilo je da uvođenje zaštitnih mjera ne bi bilo u interesu Unije jer bi povećalo uvozne cijene i ograničilo tržišno natjecanje na tržištu Unije.
As concerns the role of imports made by Union producers or traders/distributors related thereto, as described in recital (44) above, these imports were marginal and relatively stable over the period considered, representing 0,3 % to 0,7 % of total imports depending on the year.
Tvrdili su i da bi uvođenje mjera izazvalo manjak ponude jer, navodno, proizvođači iz Unije ne proizvode sve vrste proizvoda od čelika ili ih proizvode u količinama koje su nedostatne kako bi se zadovoljila potražnja u Uniji.
These imports have not affected the import trends, and the claim was therefore rejected.
To je, navodno, dodatno pogoršano činjenicom da je raspoloživost nekih proizvoda u Uniji ograničena jer podliježu antidampinškim ili antisubvencijskim mjerama.
Several interested parties submitted that the Commission had not assessed the conditions of competition between the imported products and domestic products as it has allegedly disregarded the breadth and heterogeneity of different product categories covered by the safeguard investigation and only reached conclusions for all product categories in the aggregate.
Nakon uvođenja privremenih mjera, nekoliko korisnika i uvoznika iz Unije tvrdilo je da bi, ako se poduzmu konačne mjere, trebalo razmotriti sljedeće elemente:
In the same vein, several interested parties claimed that, for each of the product categories, the Commission should have performed a separate causation analysis.
razinu kvota utvrđenu na temelju prosjeka zadnje tri godine trebalo bi povećati za 10 %, kako je to učinjeno u pogledu zaštitnih mjera Unije za čelik 2002., kako bi se ostavilo prostora za vjerojatno povećanje potražnje u silaznim sektorima,
As explained in section 2.1, the Commission considered that, in view of the high degree of interrelation between the product categories that make up the product concerned, that the imported product and the Union product are ‘like or directly competing’.
svaku kvotu trebalo bi dodijeliti svakoj pojedinoj zemlji dobavljaču umjesto dodjele prema datumu zaprimanja zahtjeva, kako bi se održali tradicionalni trgovinski tokovi i izbjeglo da određene zemlje dobavljači iskoriste svoj zemljopisni položaj ili izvozne kapacitete i brzo ispune kvote i istisnu druge tradicionalne zemlje dobavljače,
The acknowledgement that a global analysis is warranted given the strong interrelations between all product categories subject to the investigation also entails that the most appropriate way to perform the causation analysis is by aggregating the three product families that were distinguished in certain parts of the overall analysis.
ekonomsku sigurnost trebalo bi osigurati uspostavom sustava kvota na temelju dozvola.
On this basis, the claim was rejected.
Time bi se osigurao kontinuitet ponude i zajamčilo da se na pošiljke primjenjuju bescarinske kvote u trenutku napuštanja zemlje izvoznice.
The cumulative attribution analysis of the other factors in recitals (79) and (80) in the provisional Regulation and in section 6.1 above showed that the other factors, both separately and when taken together, did not attenuate the causal link between increase in imports and the threat of serious injury to the Union industry.
Alternativno, tvrdilo se da bi se godišnja kvota trebala utvrđivatina tromjesečnoj osnovi kako bi se izbjegao masovni uvoz na početku godine, što bi bilo štetno za korisnike koji ne mogu stvarati zalihe i koji se trebaju opskrbu na stabilnoj osnovi tijekom cijele godine,
In the absence of any other comments, recitals (70) to (81) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Neke vrste proizvoda trebale bi biti predmet posebnih kvota zbog njihovih specifičnosti u usporedbi s drugim vrstama proizvoda koje spadaju u istu kategoriju.
UNION INTEREST
Za te proizvode kvote bi se dalje trebale redovito povećavati kako bi se odrazio očekivani znatan porast potražnje na tržištu Unije u sljedećim godinama.
The purpose of safeguard measures is to remedy or prevent serious injury that has occurred as a result of increased imports.
Komisija je detaljno ispitala te tvrdnje i došla do sljedećih zaključaka.
In accordance with Article 16 of Regulation 2015/478, the Commission has also examined whether any compelling economic reasons exist which could lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Union interest to impose measures.
Prvo, kako je već utvrđeno u Privremenoj uredbi, Komisija se slaže s činjenicom da je potrebno u najvećoj mogućoj mjeri održati tradicionalne trgovinske tokove.
For this purpose, the impact of possible measures on all Union producers, importers and users of the product concerned and the possible consequences of taking or not taking the measures were considered based on the evidence available.
Na temelju prethodno navedenih zaključaka o postojanju opasnosti od ozbiljne štete, samo bi uvoz veći od tih tradicionalnih trgovinskih tokova izazvao ozbiljnu štetu industriji Unije.
Where necessary, the Commission devised a mechanism which would prevent serious injury from occurring whilst permitting traditional trade flows in a way compatible with a continued competitive functioning of the steel market.
Sa zaštitnim mjerama uspostavljenima u obliku carinske kvote, Komisija smatra da će se održati učinkovito tržišno natjecanje između uvoza i industrije Unije te da je mala vjerojatnost od pojave rizika općeg povećanja cijena i bilo kakve nestašice.
Interest of the Union producers
Doista, uz takav oblik mjera, očekuje se da će se uvoz nastaviti na tradicionalnim razinama koje nisu štetne, a da će se zaštitne mjere primjenjivati samo ako i kada se dostigne razina kvote, a prijetnja ostvari.
It was provisionally concluded that imposing safeguard measures would be in the interest of Union producers as it would prevent any serious injury caused by a further and significant increase of imports.
Nadalje, industrija Unije utvrdila je da može proizvoditi sve vrste proizvoda od čelika.
After the imposition of provisional measures, the Commission did not receive any comments from the Union producers contradicting this view.
U svakom slučaju uvoz će se održavati bez mjera na svojim tradicionalnim razinama, a i dalje je moguće iznad kvote, iako podložno zaštitnim mjerama.
The provisional conclusions were therefore confirmed.
Kada je riječ o postojanju antidampinških ili antisubvencijskih mjera, njihov je cilj otkloniti nepoštene trgovačke prakse.
Interest of the Union importers and users
Iako te mjere doista mogu utjecati na razinu izvoza iz nekih zemalja dobavljača, to ne utječe na razinu uvoza po poštenoj cijeni koji bi ušao na tržište Unije u uvjetima nepostojanja štetne prakse dampinga ili subvencioniranja.
The Commission sent questionnaires to known importers and users in order to evaluate their interest.
To pitanje, a posebno kumuliranje zaštitnih mjera s antidampinškim ili antisubvencijskim mjerama, razmatra se u uvodnoj izjavi 186.
The Commission received 61 responses from importers and 70 responses from users other than those related to importers.
Iz prethodno navedenih razloga tvrdnje strana navedene u uvodnoj izjavi 133. ovime se odbijaju.
Importers and users also made their views known both orally and in writing.
Kada je riječ o tvrdnjama u pogledu oblika i razine mjera, Komisija je razmotrila sljedeće elemente.
Several Union importers and users claimed that the imposition of the safeguard measures would not be in the interest of the Union because it would increase import prices and restrict competition on the Union market.
Razina carinskih kvota
They also claimed that the imposition of measures would result in shortages of supply since, allegedly, the Union producers are not producing all types of steel products or not in sufficient quantities to supply the Union demand.
Dok korisnici i uvoznici smatraju da bi svaka carinska kvota trebala biti utvrđena na razini od 10 % iznad prosječnog uvoza u zadnje tri godine jer će potrošnja čelika u Uniji u određenim kategorijama proizvoda vjerojatno zabilježiti dvoznamenkaste stope rasta, proizvođači iz Unije utvrdili su da će potrošnja čelika u Uniji ostati relativno nepromijenjena u nadolazećim godinama.
This is, allegedly, further exacerbated by the fact that the availability of some products in the Union is restricted because they are subject to anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures.
U skladu s člankom 15. stavkom 3.
After the imposition of provisional measures, several Union users and importers argued that, if definitive measures should be taken, the following elements should be considered:
Uredbe 2015/478 svaka se kvota u načelu treba odrediti na prosječnoj razini uvoza tijekom zadnje tri reprezentativne godine.
A quota level established on the basis of the average of the last three years should be increased by 10 %, as it was done as regards the Union steel safeguard measures in 2002, in order to accommodate for the likely increase in demand in downstream sectors;
Međutim, ta se odredba primjenjuje u slučaju kada su mjere u obliku kvote.
Any quota should be allocated to each specific supplying country instead of a ‘first-come-first-serve’ allocation, in order to maintain traditional trade flows and avoid that certain supplying countries might take advantage of their geographic position or export capacities to fill up rapidly the quota and crowd out other traditional supplying countries;
Kako je potvrđeno relevantnom sudskom praksom, carinska kvota nije količinsko ograničenje prema Sporazumu WTO-a o zaštitnim mjerama, te stoga Komisija kao takva u tom konkretnom slučaju nije dužna utvrditi razinu carinske kvote na razini koja strogo odgovara prosječnom uvozu u zadnje tri godine.
Economic certainty should be ensured by establishing a quota system based on licenses.
S obzirom na tvrdnje iznesene u uvodnoj izjavi 141. te u skladu s velikom ekonomskom, političkom i pravnom ovlasti koju Komisija ima u skladu s člankom 16.
This would ensure continuity of supply and guarantee that shipments go through the tariff free quota the moment they leave the exporting country.
Uredbe (EU) 2015/478 i člankom 13.
Alternatively, it was claimed that the yearly quota should be established on a quarterly basis in order to avoid massive imports at the beginning of the year, which would be detrimental to users that are not in a position to build up stocks and need to be supplied on a stable basis throughout the year.
Uredbe (EU) 2015/755, Komisija je smatrala potrebnim utvrditi razinu carinskih kvota iznad prosječne razine uvoza za zadnje tri godine kako bi se uzeli u obzir međusobno oprečni interesi korisnika i uvoznika s jedne strane i industrije Unije s druge strane.
Some product types should be subject to separate quotas due to their specificities as compared to other product types falling within the same category.
U tom pogledu, kako je vidljivo iz uvodne izjave 32., Komisija napominje da se uvoz predmetnih kategorija proizvoda u razdoblju 2017. – zadnje razdoblje povećao za 4 % bez nanošenja ozbiljne štete.
For these products, quotas should further be increased on a regular basis in order to reflect the expected significant increase of demand in the Union market in the next years.
Izgledi za budućnost, unatoč ravnomjernijoj stopi rasta uvoza pod normalnim tržišnim uvjetima, zajedno s ekonomskim i političkim interesima industrije Unije u cjelini, zahtijevaju uvođenje količinske razine carinske kvote neznatno iznad prosječne razine uvoza u razdoblju 2017. – zadnje razdoblje.
The Commission examined in detail these claims and came to the following conclusions.
Na toj osnovi te kako bi se povećanje uvoza ograničilo na razinu koja vjerojatno neće uzrokovati ozbiljnu štetu industriji Unije uz istodobno osiguranje održavanja tradicionalnih trgovinskih tokova i dostatne potpore postojećoj korisničkoj i uvoznoj industriji, Komisija smatra da bi se količinska razina carinskih kvota trebala temeljiti na prosječnom uvozu u razdoblju od 2015. do 2017. uz povećanje od 5 %.
First, as already established in the provisional Regulation, the Commission agrees with the fact that traditional trade flows should be maintained as far as possible.
Dodjela carinskih kvota
Based on the above conclusions of the existence of a threat of serious injury, only imports in excess of these traditional trade flows would cause serious injury to the Union industry.
Gotovo sve zainteresirane strane, uključujući industriju Unije, zastupale su dodjelu carinskih kvota određenim zemljama dobavljačima umjesto globalnog sustava kvota utvrđenog u privremenoj fazi.
With safeguard measures established under the form of a Tariff Rate Quota, the Commission considers that effective competition between imports and the Union industry will be maintained, and that the risk of general price increases and of any shortage is unlikely.
Komisija se slaže da je sustav carinskih kvota za pojedine zemlje zaista najprikladniji sustav za osiguranje tradicionalnih trgovinskih tokova.
Indeed, with such a form of measures, it is expected that imports will continue at traditional non-injurious levels, and the safeguard measures would only apply if, and when, the level of the quota is reached and the threat materialises.
Međutim, postoje neka ograničenja.
Furthermore, the Union industry claimed it is able to manufacture all types of steel products.
Prvo, broj zemalja dobavljača za svaku kategoriju proizvoda je velik.
In any event, imports will be maintained – without measures – at their traditional levels, and are still possible above the quota, albeit subject to safeguard measures.
Objektivno, nije izvedivo svakoj od njih dodijeliti carinsku kvotu.
As to the existence of anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures, their objective is to remedy unfair trade practices.
Drugo, Komisija smatra da je za odgovarajuću carinsku kvotu potrebno uzeti u obzir posebne čimbenike koji će utjecati na trgovinu predmetnim proizvodima.
While these measures may indeed have an impact on the level of exports from some supplying countries, this does not affect the level of fairly-priced imports that would have entered the Union market absent injurious dumping or subsidisation practices.
Doista, za brojne proizvode koji su obuhvaćeni ovim ispitnim postupkom Unija je nedavno uvela antidampinške/kompenzacijske pristojbe za određene zemlje izvoznice.
This issue, and in particular the cumulation of safeguard with anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures, is considered under recital (186).
To je često rezultiralo znatnim smanjenjem uvoza iz tih zemalja u zadnjoj godini i to će se nastaviti dok su te mjere na snazi.
For the above reasons, the claims made by the parties as outlined in recital (133) are hereby rejected.
Prema tome, više je nego vjerojatno da će se carinske kvote, specifične za pojedine zemlje, primjenjivati tek u neznatnoj mjeri jer se razina carinske kvote temelji na prosječnoj razini uvoza u razdoblju od 2015. do 2017., tj. uključuje razdoblje u kojem antidampinške/kompenzacijske pristojbe još nisu bile na snazi, a razina uvoza bila je znatna zbog nepoštene trgovačke prakse.
As to the claims concerning the form and level of measures, the Commission considered the following elements.
Stoga ne bi bilo u interesu Unije da u tim okolnostima dodijeli carinsku kvotu za pojedine zemlje jer bi razina budućeg uvoza neizbježno bila ispod njegovih tradicionalnih trgovinskih razina.
Level of the tariff-rate quota
Komisija je zaključila da bi, s obzirom na prethodno navedene okolnosti, najprikladniji bio mješoviti pristup.
While users and importers consider that any tariff-rate quota should be established at a level of 10 % above the average imports in the last three years since Union steel consumption in certain product categories is likely to experience double-digit growth rates, Union producers claimed that Union steel consumption will remain relatively flat in the coming years.
Prvo, carinska kvota za pojedine zemlje trebala bi biti dodijeljena zemljama koje imaju znatan interes za opskrbu, na temelju njihova uvoza u zadnje tri godine.
According to Article 15(3) of Regulation 2015/478, any quota shall, in principle, be set at the average level of imports over the last three representative years.
Za potrebe ove Uredbe smatra se da zemlje s udjelom uvoza većim od 5 % za predmetnu kategoriju proizvoda imaju znatan interes za opskrbu.
This provision, however, applies in case measures take the form of a quota.
Globalna carinska kvota („preostala kvota”) koja se temelji na prosjeku preostalog uvoza u zadnje tri godine trebala bi se dodijeliti svim drugim zemljama dobavljačima.
As confirmed by the relevant jurisprudence, a tariff-rate quota is not a quantitative restriction under the WTO Agreement on Safeguards, and therefore, the Commission is not as such bound to establish the level of the tariff-rate quota in this particular case at a level strictly corresponding to the average imports over the last three years.
Međutim, carinska kvota za pojedine zemlje ne bi trebala biti dodijeljena onim zemljama čija je razina izvoza – za svaku predmetnu kategoriju proizvoda – nedavno znatno smanjena zbog mjera antidampinga/kompenzacijske pristojbe, koje su uvedene iz prethodno navedenih razloga.
In view of the claims raised in recital (141) above, and in line with the large economic, political, and legal discretion afforded to the Commission pursuant to Article 16 of Regulation (EU) 2015/478 and 13 of Regulation (EU) 2015/755, the Commission considered it necessary to modulate the tariff-rate quota level above the average import level for the last three years to take account of the competing interests between users and importers, on the one hand, and the Union industry, on the other hand.
Te bi zemlje trebale biti u okviru preostalih carinskih kvota.
In this regard, as evidenced under recital (32), the Commission notes that imports of the product categories concerned rose by 4 % from 2017 to the MRP without causing serious injury.
U posebnom slučaju kategorije proizvoda 1 (toplovaljani koluti), budući da je oko 60 % uvoza trenutno obuhvaćeno antidampinškim mjerama, Komisija smatra da je najprikladnija globalna kvota bez dodjela specifičnih za pojedinu zemlju.
The outlook for a future, albeit flatter, import growth rate under normal market conditions, coupled with the economic and political interests of the Union industry as a whole, accordingly mandate for the imposition of a quantitative level of the tariff-rate quota just above the average import level during the period 2017 to the MRP.
Konačno, Komisija smatra da je u interesu Unije da je zemlji dobavljaču kada iscrpi svoju specifičnu carinsku kvotu potrebno dopustiti pristup preostaloj carinskoj kvoti.
On this basis, and in order to limit the increase of imports to a level that is unlikely to cause serious injury to the Union industry whilst, at the same time, ensuring that traditional trade flows are maintained and existing user and importing industry sufficiently supported, the Commission considers that the quantitative level of the tariff-rate quota should be based on the average imports in the period 2015-2017 plus 5 %.
Međutim, ta mogućnost trebala bi se primjenjivati samo u zadnjem tromjesečju, kako bi se postigla ravnoteža između interesa zemalja koje imaju carinsku kvotu za pojedine zemlje i zemalja koje koriste globalnu carinsku kvotu.
Allocation of the tariff-rate quotas
Tako bi se osiguralo i održavanje tradicionalnih trgovinskih tokova, a izbjeglo da, ovisno o slučaju, dijelovi preostale carinske kvote ostanu neiskorišteni.
Almost all interested parties, including the Union industry, argued in favour of an allocation of tariff-rate quotas to specific supplying countries instead of a global quota system as established at provisional stage.
Predvidljivost carinskih kvota tijekom vremena
The Commission agrees that a country-specific tariff-rate quota system is indeed the most appropriate system to ensure traditional trade flows.
Komisija smatra da uvođenje sustava licenciranja nije potrebno kako bi se osigurala predvidljivost.
It has however some limitations.
Prvo, podaci koji se odnose na razvoj uvoza u okviru carinskih kvota i kvota bez carine javno su dostupni i ažuriraju se svakodnevno.
First, the number of supplying countries is significant for each product category.
Podaci o upotrebi carinskih kvota nalaze se na sljedećem web-mjestu:
It is not reasonably practicable to allocate a tariff-rate quota to each of them.
Nadalje, dodjelom specifičnom za pojedine zemlje trebalo bi se osigurati i dodatna razina predvidljivosti za tradicionalne dobavljače i korisnike.
Second, the Commission considers that it is necessary, for an adequate tariff-rate quota allocation, to take into account special factors that will affect the trade in the products concerned.
Osim toga, kada se iscrpi carinska kvota za pojedine zemlje, predmetna zemlja moći će izvoziti putem raspoložive preostale kvote, iako samo u zadnjem tromjesečju, što je i najkritičnije razdoblje u smislu dostupnosti kvota.
Indeed, for a number of products falling within the scope of this investigation, the Union has recently imposed anti-dumping/countervailing duty measures on certain exporting countries.
Konačno, Komisija smatra da bi preostala carinska kvota trebala biti kvartalno podijeljena kako bi se osiguralo da je uvoz ravnomjerno raspoređen tijekom godine i spriječilo da se znatan uvoz standardnih proizvoda uskladišti na početku razdoblja kako bi se izbjegle moguće carine.
This has often resulted in a significant decrease of imports from these countries in the most recent year, and will continue to do so during the period of imposition of these measures.
Neiskorištene dodjele tromjesečnih carinskih kvota isto bi se automatski trebale prenijele u sljedeće razdoblje.
A country-specific tariff-rate quota for these countries will therefore more than likely be used only marginally since the level of the tariff-rate quota is based on the average level of imports in the years 2015-2017, i.e. including a period when anti-dumping/countervailing duty measures were not yet in place and the level of import was significant due to unfair trade practices.
Klasifikacija proizvoda
It would, therefore, not be in the Union interest to allocate a country specific tariff-rate quota in these circumstances since the level of future imports would unavoidably be below their traditional trade levels.
Komisija je ispitala zahtjeve korisnika i uvoznika za uspostavu posebnih potkategorija za njihove proizvode.
The Commission concluded that, given the above circumstances, a mixed approach would be the most appropriate.
Komisija je posebno utvrdila da dvije kategorije proizvoda, odnosno kategorije 3 i 4, imaju različite karakteristike za koje su zahtjevi prihvatljivi.
