Analiza uvoza od siječnja do kolovoza 2018. iz uvodne izjave 463. potvrđuje stvarno dodatno povećanje uvoza biodizela iz Argentine.
The nature of the subsidy or subsidies in question and the trade effects likely to arise therefrom
Dovoljan slobodno raspoloživi kapacitet i apsorpcijski kapacitet trećih zemalja
In recital (304), the Commission concluded on the existence of countervailable subsidies in accordance with the basic Regulation.
Prema statističkim podacima OECD-a za poljoprivredu o potrošnji biodizela u svijetu Argentina je 2017. činila tek oko 3,5 % svjetske potrošnje.
Those subsidies found show that the imports of the product concerned potentially benefit from governmental support.
Kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 202., Argentina je tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka izvezla 57 % svoje proizvodnje.
The significant undercutting found during and after the investigation period is expected to affect even more negatively the delicate economic situation of the Union industry already observed during the investigation period.
Niska razina argentinske potrošnje u odnosu na potrošnju u svijetu te potrošnju u Uniji od oko 40 % i SAD-u od oko 25 % jasan je pokazatelj da je argentinski sektor biodizela izvozno orijentiran te da ovisi o tim tržištima (vidjeti i uvodnu izjavu 209.).
Moreover, as explained in recital (158), the GOA's measures supporting the domestic biodiesel industry ensure that biodiesel exports remain very competitive because of the lower costs of obtaining soybeans (as opposed to Union producers who are impacted by higher price fluctuations in the costs of the rapeseeds).
Procijenjeno je da je rezervni kapacitet argentinskih proizvođača biodizela tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka iznosio više od 1,2 milijuna tona.
It is therefore foreseeable that the subsidised imports of the product concerned, because of the nature of the GOA's support measures, could continue to negatively affect the Union industry's economic situation.
Ta se procjena temelji na informacijama od proizvođača izvoznika u uzorku, koji čine 84 % ukupnog izvoza u Uniju, ekstrapoliranima na cijelu argentinsku industriju.
Significant rate of increase of subsidised imports into the Union market indicating the likelihood of substantially increased imports
Rezervni kapacitet argentinskih proizvođača biodizela, prema informacijama koje je Komisiji dostavio EBB, i ostao je na sličnoj razini u razdoblju nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
There is a clear link between the sudden and substantial increase of biodiesel imports to the Union market from Argentina since September 2017 and the reduction of the anti-dumping duties imposed as of that month, as shown in Table 9.
SAD je 27. kolovoza 2017. uveo privremene kompenzacijske pristojbe na uvoz biodizela iz Argentine po stopama od 50 % do 60 %, a zatim je 9. studenoga 2017. uveo konačne pristojbe po stopama od 71,45 % do 72,28 %.
This indicates the ability of the Argentinian exporting producers to quickly react to the changing market conditions.
U listopadu 2017.
In addition, the data showing Argentinian biodiesel imports following the investigation period confirms that, in spite of the registration of imports, the Argentinian exporting producers continue to export to the Union market similar quantities to the ones exported during the investigation period, once the anti-dumping duties were reduced or lifted.
SAD je uveo privremene antidampinške pristojbe u rasponu od 54,36 % do 70,05 %.
Therefore, in view of the attractiveness of the Union market for the Argentinian exports, the Commission considered that after the reduction of anti-dumping duties in September 2017, the fact that the volume of biodiesel imports from Argentina have increased significantly indicates the likeliness that such imports will continue to increase.
SAD je 3. siječnja 2018. potvrdio te pristojbe u svojoj Konačnoj odluci, pri čemu je blago izmijenio razine tako da su iznosile od 60,44 % do 86,41 %.
The analysis of imports during the period of January to August 2018 set out in recital (463) confirms actual further increase of biodiesel imports from Argentina.
Visoka razina pristojbi koje je uveo SAD, dotad najvažnije argentinsko izvozno tržište, snažan je pokazatelj da se taj izvoz biodizela odmah preusmjerio na tržište Unije.
Sufficient freely disposable capacity and absorption capacity of third countries
Preusmjeravanje je bilo još izraženije zbog istodobnog smanjenja antidampinških pristojbi za argentinski biodizel u Uniji.
According to the OECD agricultural statistics of the world biodiesel consumption, in 2017 Argentina had only around 3,5 % of the worldwide consumption.
To je kretanje prikazano u tablici 20. u nastavku:
As indicated in recital (202), Argentina exported during the investigation period 57 % of its production.
Tablica 20.
The low level of Argentinian consumption compared with the worldwide consumption, and consumption in the Union at around 40 % and the USA at around 25 % clearly indicates that the Argentinian biodiesel sector is export-oriented and dependent on these markets (see also recital (209)).
Obujam izvoza (u tonama) po mjesecima
The spare capacity of the Argentinian biodiesel producers during the investigation period is estimated at more than 1,2 million tonnes.
Izvor: argentinski statistički podaci o izvozu.
That estimate is based on information received from the sampled exporting producers, which represent 84 % of all exports to the Union, extrapolated to the whole Argentinian industry.
Obujam izvoza iz Argentine (u tonama)
The spare capacity of the Argentinian biodiesel producers remained at a similar level in the period following the investigation period according to the information provided to the Commission by the EBB.
U SAD
On 27 August 2017, the USA imposed provisional countervailing duties against imports of biodiesel from Argentina at rates between 50 % and 60 % and then on 9 November 2017 definitive duties at rates between 71,45 % and 72,28 %.
U Uniju
On 3 January 2018, the USA confirmed those duties in its Final Determination, slightly modifying the levels to range from 60,44 % to 86,41 %.
Podaci se ne razlikuju samo zbog različitih izvora nego uglavnom zbog različitog vremena evidentiranja izvoznih i uvoznih transakcija u odgovarajućim statistikama.
This redirection is reinforced by the almost simultaneous decrease of anti-dumping duties on Argentinian biodiesel in the Union.
To upućuje na vjerojatnost znatnog povećanja količina subvencioniranog izvoza u Uniju.
This development is shown in Table 20 below:
Nisu poznata druga izvozna tržišta koja bi mogla apsorbirati taj dodatni izvoz jer SAD i Unija zajedno čine oko 2/3 svjetske potrošnje biodizela.
Table 20
Nakon objave dokumenta s informacijama tijela Perua su 10. srpnja 2018., u pogledu apsorpcijskog kapaciteta izvoznih tržišta za argentinske proizvođače izvoznike, potvrdila uvođenje antidampinških i kompenzacijskih pristojbi koje su zajedno iznosile ukupno od 137,4 do 399,8 USD po toni.
Export volume (tonnes) per month
Komisija je utvrdila naznake da prijetnja nastavka preusmjeravanja uvoza iz Argentine može prouzročiti štetu industriji Unije.

Razina cijena subvencioniranog uvoza
Volume of exports from Argentina (tonnes)
Uvoz biodizela iz Argentine na tržište Unije u zadnja četiri mjeseca razdoblja ispitnog postupka bio je po znatno nižim cijenama od cijena koje naplaćuje industrija Unije.
To the USA
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 354., Komisija je za razdoblje ispitnog postupka utvrdila ponderirane prosječne marže nelojalno nižih cijena u rasponu od 9,5 % do 15,2 %.
To the Union
Ta je razlika potvrđena usporedbom cijena zabilježenih u statističkim podacima o uvozu s prodajnim cijenama industrije Unije.
The level of exports from Argentina to the Union provided in Table 20 does not equate the level of imports to the Union from Argentina provided in Table 9 in recital (333).
Cijene biodizela uvezenog iz Argentine čak su se i dodatno smanjile tijekom razdoblja nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
The difference is not only due to a different source of data, but mainly to a different timing in registering export and import transactions in the respective statistics.
Razina zaliha
As indicated in recital (425), there is sufficient freely disposable capacity in Argentina which is even increasing due to a change in the pattern of sales (namely the exclusion of the USA market).
Kretanje razine zaliha proizvođača iz Unije u uzorku detaljno je opisano u uvodnoj izjavi 394.
That indicates the likelihood of substantially increasing quantities of subsidised exports to the Union.
Kako je objašnjeno, zbog toga što se predmetni proizvod prodaje u rasutom stanju razina zaliha nije toliko važan pokazatelj za prijetnju štete.
There are no other known export markets that could absorb those additional exports, since the USA and the Union together account for around 2/3 of the global consumption of biodiesel.
S obzirom na analizu čimbenika koji se odnose na prijetnju štete i koji su navedeni u uvodnoj izjavi 419., Komisija je zaključila da će se osjetljivo gospodarsko stanje industrije Unije vjerojatno pogoršati zbog neminovnog i kontinuiranog velikog subvencioniranog uvoza biodizela iz Argentine.
Following the disclosure of the information document, with regard to the absorption capacity of the export markets for the Argentinian exporting producers, on 10 July 2018 the authorities of Peru confirmed the imposition of anti-dumping and countervailing duties, totalling together from 137,4 to 399,8 USD per tonne.
Stoga je na kraju razdoblja ispitnog postupka postojala barem prijetnja jasno predvidljive i neminovne štete industriji Unije, što ide u prilog nalazu o prijetnji štete na temelju članka 8. stavka 8. osnovne uredbe.
The Commission found indications that the threat of a continued redirection of imports from Argentina may cause injury to the Union industry.
Komisija je u uvodnoj izjavi 428. dala podrobne informacije o kretanju mjesečnog uvoza biodizela iz Argentine u razdoblju ispitnog postupka.
Price level of subsidised imports
Uvoz za koji je Komisija utvrdila da je subvencioniran i koji je u kontinuirano velikim količinama ulazio u Uniju činio je prijetnju predvidljive i neminovne štete za industriju Unije na kraju razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
Biodiesel imports from Argentina that arrived in the Union market during the last four months of the investigation period were imported at substantially lower prices than the prices charged by the Union industry.
Komisija stoga nije izmijenila nalazu o prijetnji štete na temelju članka 8. stavka 8. osnovne uredbe.
As explained in recital (354), the Commission established for the investigation period weighted average undercutting margins of between 9,5 % and 15,2 %.
Nakon konačne objave CARBIO je komentirao, s obzirom na analizu gospodarskih pokazatelja nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka, da su cijene RME-a sezonske, da su od kolovoza do listopada 2018. bile rekordno visoke te da je prodaja industrije Unije u razdoblju nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka porasla u odnosu na 2016.
The comparison of prices observed in the import statistics compared with sales prices of the Union industry confirms this difference.
Komisija je uzela u obzir te primjedbe.
The prices of biodiesel imported from Argentina decreased even further during the period following the investigation period.
One, međutim, nisu u suprotnosti niti mijenjaju zaključak Komisije, osobito u pogledu štete u razdoblju ispitnog postupka, utvrđen u uvodnoj izjavi 417.
Level of inventories
UZROČNOST
The evolution of level of inventories of the sampled Union producers is described in detail in recital (394).
U skladu s člankom 8. stavkom 5. osnovne uredbe Komisija je analizirala je li prijetnja materijalne štete industriji Unije posljedica postojećeg subvencioniranog uvoza iz predmetne zemlje.
As explained, due to the fact that the product concerned is sold in bulk the level of inventories is a less meaningful indicator for the threat of injury.
Komisija je u skladu s člankom 8. stavkom 6. osnovne uredbe ispitala i postoje li drugi poznati čimbenici koji su mogli istodobno prijetiti štetom industriju Unije.
Therefore, at the very least there was a threat of a clearly foreseeable and imminent injury to the Union industry at the end of the investigation period, which supports a finding of threat of injury under Article 8(8) of the basic Regulation.
Ti su čimbenici uvoz iz trećih zemalja i izvozni rezultati industrije Unije.
Following final disclosure, the GOA disagreed with the conclusion of the Commission and stated that the increase of imports was due to the fact that imports from Argentina were illegally deprived of the Union market during the period of 2012 to 2017.
Učinci subvencioniranog uvoza
The GOA also added that the Commission has not assessed evidence in order to confirm that the increase of biodiesel imports from Argentina will continue in the future.
Kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 334., u razdoblju 2014.–2016. te u prvim mjesecima razdoblja ispitnog postupka nije bilo uvoza u Uniju iz Argentine ili je on bio neznatan.
The Commission provided in recital (428) detailed information on the development of monthly imports of biodiesel from Argentina during the investigation period.
Međutim, uvoz se znatno povećao posljednjih mjeseci razdoblja ispitnog postupka.
In recital (463) the Commission provided information about the level of imports of biodiesel from Argentina in the period from January to August 2018.
Kako je navedeno u uvodnoj izjavi 381., procijenjeni tržišni udio argentinskog uvoza u posljednjem tromjesečju 2017. viši je od 10 % i ostao je iznad 10 % tijekom prvog tromjesečja 2018., odnosno nakon razdoblja ispitnog postupka te unatoč evidentiranju uvoza.
This information indicates that imports that started in September 2017 continued, in spite of their registration, following the investigation period.
Kako je prikazano u uvodnoj izjavi 354., tijekom razdoblja ispitnog postupka cijena uvezenog biodizela iz Argentine bila je niža od cijene industrije Unije za 9,5 %–15,2 %.
The imports, which the Commission found to be subsidised, and their continuing massive quantities imported to the Union constituted a threat of a foreseeable and imminent injury to the Union industry at the end of the investigation period.
S obzirom na to da je istodobno, s jedne strane, došlo do znatnog i naglog povećanja subvencioniranog uvoza argentinskog biodizela po cijenama nižima od cijena industrije Unije i, s druge strane, do procijenjenoga gubitka tržišnog udjela industrije Unije u posljednjem tromjesečju 2017. i prvom tromjesečju 2018. te to da ona nije mogla ostvariti dobit, Komisija je zaključila da je taj subvencionirani uvoz negativno utjecao na stanje industrije Unije.
The Commission did therefore not change its finding of threat of injury under Article 8(8) of the basic Regulation.
Nadalje, zbog neznatne domaće potrošnje u Argentini, znatnog rezervnog kapaciteta argentinskih proizvođača biodizela i zatvaranja drugog najvećeg izvoznog tržišta, odnosno SAD-a, višak proizvodnje iz Argentine usmjeren je u Uniju, koja čini 40 % potrošnje u svijetu.
Following final disclosure, CARBIO commented, with regard to the analysis of the economic indicators following the investigation period, that prices of RME are seasonal, that in the period of August to October 2018 the RME prices were at a record high, and that sales of Union industry during the period following the investigation period increase if compared to 2016.
Stoga je Unija postala jedno od najprivlačnijih odredišta za subvencionirani argentinski uvoz biodizela, na štetu industrije Unije.
The Commission took note of these comments.
Nakon objave dokumenta s informacijama vlada Argentine tvrdila je da uvoz iz Argentine ne čini znatnije povećanje uvoza ili tržišnih udjela.
However they neither contradict nor change the Commission conclusion, in particular with regard to injury during the investigation period, set out in recital (417).
Nepovezani uvoznik Gunvor u tom je pogledu napomenuo da se uvoz vratio na svoje povijesne prosječne vrijednosti.
CAUSATION
Komisija je u tom pogledu znatnim povećanjem smatrala to što je u posljednjem tromjesečju 2017. ostvaren procijenjeni tržišni udio veći od 10 % u odnosu na tržišni udio od 0 % tijekom prvih osam mjeseci 2017.
In accordance with Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission analysed whether the threat of material injury to the Union industry was caused by the existing subsidised imports from the country concerned.
Usto, nakon objave dokumenta s informacijama CARBIO je naveo da u kontekstu analize prijetnje štete Komisija mora navesti vjerojatnost znatno povećanog uvoza te da povećanje uvoza samo zbog povratka navodno uobičajenih uvjeta trgovine i tržišnog natjecanja, koji je posljedica ukidanja neopravdanih antidampinških pristojbi, ne ukazuje na vjerojatnost da će se uvoz i dalje znatno povećavati.
In accordance with Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have threatened to injure the Union industry.
Kako je objašnjeno u uvodnim izjavama od 335. do 338., uvoz biodizela iz Argentine nastavio se u 2018. i dosegao procijenjenu razinu od 11,5 %.
The Commission ensured that any possible threat of injury caused by factors other than the subsidised imports from Argentina was not attributed to the subsidised imports.
Komisija smatra da to povećanje uvoza podrijetlom iz Argentine odražava nepravedne uvjete trgovanja (za razliku od uobičajenih uvjeta trgovine bez prethodnih antidampinških mjera na snazi) zbog subvencija za koje utvrđeno da postoje.
Those factors are imports from third countries and export performance of the Union industry.
Stoga je Komisija smatrala da je subvencioniranim uvozom argentinskog biodizela prouzročena prijetnja materijalne štete industriji Unije.
Effects of the subsidised imports
Drugi poznati čimbenici
As stated in recital (334), there were no imports or only negligible imports to the Union from Argentina in the years 2014-2016 as well as during the first months of the investigating period.
Komisija je ispitala i mogu li drugi poznati čimbenici, pojedinačno ili zajedno, oslabjeti uzročno-posljedičnu vezu između subvencioniranog uvoza i utvrđene prijetnje štete.
However, the imports increased significantly during the last months of the investigation period.
Nakon objave dokumenta s informacijama CARBIO je tvrdio da se industrija Unije nije uspjela postupno oporaviti tijekom razmatranog razdoblja, odnosno tijekom razdoblja u kojem nije bilo uvoza iz Argentine.
As indicated in recital (381) the estimated market share of the Argentinian imports for the last quarter of 2017 is above 10 % and remained above 10 % during the first quarter of 2018 that is after the investigation period and in spite of the registration of imports.
CARBIO je tvrdio i da nema dokaza o postojanju drugih čimbenika koji utječu na rezultate industrije Unije.
As shown in recital (354), the Argentinian biodiesel imports were undercutting the Union industry prices by 9,5 % to 15,2 % during the investigation period.
Komisija je u uvodnoj izjavi 416. zaključila da je profitabilnost industrije Unije doista ostala niska tijekom većeg dijela razmatranog razdoblja te da nije uspjela postići razinu redovnog i profitabilnog poslovanja.
In view of the coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the significant and sudden increase of the subsidised imports of Argentinian biodiesel at prices below those of the Union industry, and, on the other hand, the Union industry's estimated loss of market share in the last quarter of 2017 and the first quarter of 2018, together with its inability to achieve profits, the Commission concluded that those subsidised imports had a negative impact on the situation of the Union industry.
Međutim, kako je objašnjeno u uvodnoj izjavi 405., Komisija je primijetila da se industrija Unije, kako se čini, nije potpuno oporavila od prethodnog dampinga utvrđenog u prethodnom ispitnom postupku.
Moreover, the insignificant domestic consumption in Argentina, the significant spare capacity of the Argentinian biodiesel producers, and the foreclosure of the second biggest export market of USA have directed the excess production from Argentina to the Union, which constitutes 40 % of the worldwide consumption.
Povrh toga, to što da proizvođači iz Unije upotrebljavaju uljanu repicu kao ulazni materijal (za razliku od argentinskih proizvođača izvoznika, koji upotrebljavaju soju) ne objašnjava razlike u cijeni između biodizela iz Unije i biodizela iz Argentine.
Thus, the Union has become one of the most attractive destinations for Argentinian subsidised imports of biodiesel, to the detriment of the Union industry.
Kad bi proizvođači izvoznici kupovali soju po nenarušenim cijenama, njihove bi izvozne cijene bile vrlo slične cijenama Unije.
Following the disclosure of the information document, the GOA claimed that the imports from Argentina do not represent a significant increase of imports or market shares.
Stoga, kako je dodatno objašnjeno u nastavku, u ispitnom postupku nisu utvrđeni čimbenici koji bi oslabjeli uzročno-posljedičnu vezu između subvencioniranog uvoza i utvrđene prijetnje štete.
The unrelated importer Gunvor noted in this regard that imports return to their historical averages.
Uvoz iz trećih zemalja
In this regard, the Commission considered reaching an estimated market share exceeding 10 % in the last quarter of 2017 as compared to a 0 % market share during the first eight months of 2017 as a significant increase.
Obujam uvoza iz ostalih trećih zemalja u razmatranom razdoblju kretao se kako slijedi:
In addition, following the disclosure of the information document CARBIO stated that in the context of a threat of injury analysis the Commission must indicate the likelihood of substantially increased imports, and that an increase in imports which is due merely to the return of allegedly normal conditions of trade and competition, resulting from the removal of unjustified anti-dumping duties, does not indicate a likelihood that imports will continue to increase substantially.
Tablica 21.
As explained in recitals (335) to (338), imports of biodiesel from Argentina continued in 2018 and reached an estimated level of 11,5 %.
Zemlja
In addition, there was no reduction of import levels from Argentina following the registration as of 25 May 2018 onwards.
Narodna Republika Kina
This, combined with the spare capacity of the Argentinian biodiesel producers described in recital (425) and the attractiveness of the Union market, indicates the likelihood that imports will continue to increase substantially in the future.
Obujam (u tonama)
In the Commission's view, this increase in imports originating from Argentina reflects unfair trading conditions (as opposed to normal trade conditions without the previous anti-dumping measures in place) because of the subsidies found to exist.
Prosječna cijena (EUR/tona)
Therefore, the Commission considered that the subsidised imports of Argentinian biodiesel are causing a threat of material injury to the Union industry.
Malezija
Other known factors
Sve zemlje osim Argentine, Kine i Malezije
The Commission also examined whether other known factors, individually or collectively, are capable of attenuating the causal link established between the subsided imports and the threat of injury found to exist.
Uz uvoz iz Argentine, samo je uvoz iz dviju drugih zemalja, NRK i Malezije, svake godine premašio tržišni udio od 1 %.
Following the disclosure of the information document CARBIO claimed that the Union industry had not managed to achieve a gradual recovery during the period considered, that is also during the time that there was no imports from Argentina.
Jedini znatan uvoz iz NRK-a bio je u razdoblju ispitnog postupka i postigao je tržišni udio od 1,6 %.
CARBIO further argued that this is evidence that there are other factors that impact on the performance of the Union industry.
Uvoz iz Malezije bio je stabilan tijekom cijelog razmatranog razdoblja, uz tržišni udio od 2,3 % do 2,9 %.
