On this basis, it is confirmed that the increase in imports was sharp and sudden as clarified by the case-law.
Nadalje, kako je objašnjeno u uvodnim izjavama 33., 35. i 36., Komisija je zaključila da se uvoz u smislu apsolutne vrijednosti povećao za 71 % na globalnoj razini, a ako se podijeli po obitelji proizvoda od 60 % do 97 % u razdoblju 2013. – zadnje razdoblje.
Considering the extent of the increase, it is also confirmed that the increase was significant.
Osim toga, iz statističkih podataka Eurostata vidljivo je i to da se uvoz povećao za 45 % od 2013. do 2015. te da se to naglo povećanje nastavilo sve do zadnjeg razdoblja kada je dostigao ukupno 71 %.
As far as the recentness is concerned, the Commission notes that there is no specific jurisprudence as to how the term ‘recent’ should be interpreted.
Sličan trend zabilježen je i u slučaju relativnog povećanja uvoza.
The Appellate Body has merely interpreted the requirement that a Member may apply a safeguard only if a product ‘is being imported’ in increased quantities to mean that the increase in imports must be ‘recent’ enough to cause or threaten to cause serious injury.
Na temelju toga potvrđuje se da je povećanje uvoza bilo oštro i naglo kako je razjašnjeno sudskom praksom.
The Commission confirmed that increase in imports, in view of the developments in the period 2013-MRP and even 2015-MRP, was recent enough to cause or threaten to cause serious injury.
Uzevši u obzir opseg povećanja, potvrđeno je i da je povećanje bilo znatno.
Accordingly, the Commission rejected the above-mentioned claims on lack of qualifying import increase.
Komisija napominje da ne postoji specifična sudska praksa o tome kako se treba tumačiti pojam „nedavno”.
Several interested parties claimed that the Commission end-point to end-point analysis at an aggregate level was insufficient and that the Commission should also have analysed intervening trends over the period 2013-2017, in line with WTO case law such as US – Steel safeguards and Ukraine – Passenger Cars.
Žalbeno tijelo tek je protumačilo zahtjev da članica može primijeniti zaštitnu mjeru samo ako se proizvod „uvozi” u povećanim količinama, tako da povećanje uvoza mora biti dovoljno „nedavno” da bi nanijelo ili bilo prijetnja ozbiljne štete.
According to such case law, the analysis cannot rely on a comparison of the end-points of the period of analysis as it could lead to manipulated results in cases where there is no clear and uninterrupted upward trend in import volumes.
Komisija je potvrdila da je do povećanja uvoza, s obzirom na razvoj događaja u razdoblju 2013. – zadnje razdoblje, pa čak i 2015.
The case law also foresees that the investigating authority shall set out a reasoned and adequate explanation concerning the development of imports between the end-points.
zadnje razdoblje, došlo dovoljno nedavno da uzrokuje ili prijeti uzrokovanjem ozbiljne štete.
The Commission considers that it has not just made an end-point to end-point analysis since, as substantiated above in recital (33) to (36), the Commission has also analysed intervening trends and made an adequate and reasoned analysis of import trends.
U skladu s tim, Komisija je odbacila prethodno navedene tvrdnje o nepostojanju povećanja uvoza koji ispunjava te uvjete.
The relevant claims have therefore been rejected.
Nekoliko zainteresiranih strana tvrdilo je da je analiza Komisije od-do krajnjih točaka razdoblja na agregatnoj razini bila nedovoljna te da je Komisija trebala analizirati i intervencijske trendove u razdoblju od 2013. do 2017., u skladu sa sudskom praksom WTO-a kao što su zaštitne mjere u vezi s uvozom čelika u SAD-u te osobnim vozilima u Ukrajini.
Certain interested parties indicated that analysing the evolution of imports over the period 2013 – 2017 was misleading since the level of imports in 2013 was abnormally low as a result of the global economic crisis, and the increase in the subsequent period was merely a recovery of a normal situation.
Prema takvoj sudskoj praksi, analiza se ne može osloniti na usporedbu krajnjih točaka razdoblja analize jer bi mogla dovesti do manipuliranih rezultata u slučajevima gdje ne postoji jasan i neprekinuti trend porasta obujma uvoza.
In this regard, the Commission considered that taking 2013 as the starting point for the analysis did not taint that analysis.
Sudskom praksom utvrđeno je da tijelo koje provodi ispitni postupak daje utemeljeno i primjereno objašnjenje o razvoju uvoza između krajnjih točaka.
While EU steel consumption indeed increased by 14 % over the period 2013-2017 (see Table 4 below), such an increase was achieved in a progressive manner throughout the period.
Komisija smatra da nije samo napravila završnu točku analize krajnjih točaka, budući da je, kako je potkrijepljeno u uvodnim izjavama od 33. do 36., Komisija analizirala i interventne trendove te provela odgovarajuću i obrazloženu analizu kretanja uvoza.
In contrast imports increased much more than the EU demand, namely by 64 % over the same period and at a much faster rate than EU consumption.
Stoga su relevantne tvrdnje odbačene.
Consequently, market share of imports increased by 5,4 % points (from 12,7 % to 18,1 %) over the period 2013-2017.
Određene zainteresirane strane navele su da je analiza razvoja uvoza u razdoblju od 2013. – 2017. bila obmanjujuća jer je razina uvoza u 2013. bila neuobičajeno niska, kao posljedica globalne ekonomske krize, a povećanje u sljedećem razdoblju bilo je tek povratak na normalnu situaciju.
On this basis, this claim was rejected.
U tom pogledu, Komisija smatra da se uzimanje 2013. kao polazne točke nije dovela u pitanje ta analiza.
Several interested parties claimed that imports by the Union industry should have been excluded from the analysis of import volumes.
Iako je potrošnja čelika u EU u razdoblju od 2013. do 2017. doista porasla za 14 % (vidjeti tablicu 4. u nastavku), to je povećanje progresivno ostvareno tijekom cijelog razdoblja.
In this regard, it should be noted that there is no legal requirement to make such an exclusion.
Nasuprot tome, uvoz se povećao mnogo više od potražnje u EU-u, i to za 64 % u istom razdoblju, te znatno brže od potrošnje u EU-u.
In any event, based on the questionnaire replies received from the Union producers, such imports remained stable over the period 2013-2017 and only accounted for a marginal portion of the total import (ranging from 0,3 % to 0,7 % of the total imports).
Zbog toga se tržišni udio uvoza povećao za 5,4 postotna boda (s 12,7 % na 18,1 %) u razdoblju od 2013. do 2017.
The above claim was therefore rejected.
Na temelju toga ta je tvrdnja odbačena.
One interested party claimed that imports through inward processing should have been excluded from the analysis of the import volumes in general and for product category 25 in particular.
Nekoliko zainteresiranih strana tvrdilo je da bi uvoz industrije Unije trebao biti isključen iz analize obujma uvoza.
In this regard, it should be noted that for all product categories other than product category 25, the import volume trend observed does not change if inward processing is excluded from the analysis.
U tom pogledu, treba napomenuti da ne postoji zakonska obveza takvog isključenja.
As a consequence, it was considered appropriate to include such volumes in the assessment of the increase in imports in order to reflect the full impact of third country imports.
Stoga je ta tvrdnja odbačena.
On this basis, this claim has been rejected.
Jedna od zainteresiranih strana tvrdila je da je uvoz kroz unutarnju proizvodnju trebao biti isključen iz analize uvoza općenito, a osobito za kategoriju proizvoda 25.
Certain interested parties claimed that the import volume and corresponding market share for product categories 1, 6, 7, 17 and 28 decreased over the period 2016-2017.
U tom pogledu treba napomenuti da se zabilježeni trend obujma uvoza ne mijenja ako se unutarnja proizvodnja isključi iz analize za sve kategorije proizvoda, osim za kategoriju proizvoda 25.
In this regard, the Commission notes that in its final determination it has also considered the development of imports during the most recent period and, on this basis, imports did increase for all these categories with the exception of category 7.
U ovom konkretnom slučaju kategorije proizvoda 25, prodaja jednog proizvođača iz Unije izgubljena je u korist proizvođača izvoznika na tržištu treće zemlje.
However, even for this latter category, imports during the MRP were significantly higher than in 2013-2014.
Kako bi se prikazao puni učinak uvoza trećih zemalja, smatralo se primjerenim uključiti te obujme u ocjenu povećanja uvoza.
In addition, the Commission carried out a global analysis for all steel products and individually for each of the three product families identified, and concluded that imports increased overall during the whole analysed period.
Na temelju toga ta je tvrdnja odbačena.
This claim was therefore rejected.
Određene zainteresirane strane tvrdile su da se obujam uvoza i odgovarajući tržišni udio za kategorije proizvoda 1, 6, 7, 17 i 28 smanjio tijekom razdoblja od 2016. do 2017.
Accordingly, the Commission concludes that there has been a sudden, steep, and significant increase of imports both in absolute and relative terms for the product concerned under assessment.
Komisija napominje da je, u tom pogledu, u svojoj konačnoj odluci razmotrila i razvoj uvoza u zadnjem razdoblju te je zbog toga uvoz porastao za sve te kategorije, osim u kategoriji 7.
This finding is also confirmed by the data at the level of each of the three product families assessed.
Stoga je ta tvrdnja odbačena.
UNFORESEEN DEVELOPMENTS
Komisija, u skladu s tim, zaključuje da je došlo do naglog, strmog i znatnog povećanja uvoza u apsolutnom i relativnom smislu za predmetni proizvod u postupku ocjenjivanja.
These factors consisted of an unprecedented steelmaking overcapacity that persists despite the important number of measures adopted worldwide to reduce it, accentuated by distortive subsidies and government support measures, which led to price depression, the increased use of trade restrictive practices, trade defence instruments and the US Section 232 measures adopted in March 2018.
NEPREDVIĐENI RAZVOJ DOGAĐAJA
Several interested parties claimed that unforeseen developments should be demonstrated for each product category.
Kako je detaljno objašnjeno u uvodnim izjavama 30. do 36.
The Commission disagrees with these views and considers that, given the high interrelation and interconnection between the product categories as explained in Section 2.1, it is sufficient to demonstrate the existence of unforeseen developments globally.
Privremene uredbe, Komisija je prethodno zaključila da je prethodno navedeno povećanje uvoza određenih proizvoda od čelika u Uniju posljedica nepredviđenog razvoja događaja, koji su proizašli iz brojnih čimbenika koji su izazvali ili povećali neravnoteže u međunarodnoj trgovini predmetnog proizvoda.
As far as overcapacity is concerned, several interested parties claimed that overcapacity is well-known to the Commission and could not be considered as an unforeseen development.
Ti su se čimbenici sastojali od dosad nezabilježenog viška kapaciteta proizvodnje koji je stalan unatoč velikom broju mjera koje su u svijetu poduzete kako bi se smanjio.
They also claimed that the Commission had previously linked the injury suffered by the Union industry to dumped or subsidized imports and that the link between the increase in imports and the unforeseen development of steel overcapacity had not been established.
Dodatno je pojačan subvencijama koje narušavaju tržišno natjecanje i vladinim mjerama potpore, što je dovelo do pada cijena, povećane uporabe ograničavajućih trgovinskih praksi, instrumenata trgovinske zaštite te mjera SAD-a iz odjeljka 232. donesenih u ožujku 2018.
In this regard, it should first be noted that, as provided in Figure 2.3 of the Global Trade Alert report ‘Going Spare: Steel, Excess Capacity, and Protectionism’, the world crude steel excess capacity decreased from 2009 to 2011 before following an opposite trend from 2011 to 2016.
Nekoliko zainteresiranih strana tvrdilo je da bi nepredviđen razvoj događaja trebalo dokazati za svaku kategoriju proizvoda.
Considering that the total crude steel excess production capacity in 2011 was already well above the total production of that year, it was expected that total crude steel capacity would decrease or at least remain stable in order to improve capacity utilization and cost efficiency.
Komisija se ne slaže s tim stajalištima i smatra da je, s obzirom na visoku međusobnu povezanost kategorija proizvoda (kako je objašnjeno u odjeljku 2.1.), dovoljno dokazati postojanje nepredviđenog razvoja događaja na globalnoj razini.
Total crude steel production capacity, however, unexpectedly continued to increase after 2011, generating an additional world excess capacity as confirmed by the Commission in its Communication ‘Steel: Preserving Sustainable Jobs and Growth in Europe’.
Nekoliko zainteresiranih strana tvrdilo je da je višak kapaciteta dobro poznat Komisiji i da se ne može smatrati nepredviđenim razvojem događaja.
Considering the timing of the events described above and more specifically the fact that excess production capacity increased at a time when it was economically expected to decrease, it is concluded that the steel overcapacity should be considered as an unforeseen development.
Tvrdile su, i da je Komisija prethodno povezala štetu koju je pretrpjela industrija Unije s dampinškim ili subvencioniranim uvozom te da veza između povećanja uvoza i nepredviđenog razvoja viška kapaciteta u industriji čelika nije utvrđena.
As far as the causality established in previous investigations tackling unfair trading practices is concerned, reference is made to the above-mentioned Communication, which provides that such investigations are recognized as ‘measures aiming to mitigate the effects of overcapacity’.
Ukupni kapacitet proizvodnje sirovog čelika, međutim, neočekivano se nastavio povećavati nakon 2011., stvarajući dodatni svjetski višak kapaciteta koji je Komisija potvrdila u svojoj Komunikaciji „Čelik: očuvanje održivih radnih mjesta i održivog rasta u Europi”.
On such basis, it is clear that overcapacity is inherently closely linked to dumped and subsidized imports.
S obzirom na trenutak prethodno opisanih događaja te, točnije, činjenicu da se višak proizvodnih kapaciteta povećao u vrijeme kad se gospodarski očekivalo da će se smanjiti, zaključuje se da se višak kapaciteta industrije čelika treba smatrati nepredviđenim razvojem događaja.
Yet, in anti-dumping and anti-subsidy investigation, the overcapacity in the steel sector is not examined as an unforeseen development since this requirement is not present in an assessment underlying the imposition of those trade remedy instruments.
U pogledu uzročno-posljedične veze, u prethodnim ispitnim postupcima koji se bave suzbijanjem nepoštenih trgovačkih praksi, poziva se na prethodno navedenu Komunkaciju, u kojoj se takvi ispitni postupci smatraju „mjerama koje za cilj imaju ublažavanje učinaka viška kapaciteta”.
As far as the link between the unforeseen development of steel overcapacity and the increase in imports is concerned, it is clear that exporting producers have an interest in maximizing their capacity utilization.
Na toj osnovi, jasno je da je višak kapaciteta usko povezan s dampinškim i subvencioniranim uvozom.
In situations where spare capacity is available after supplying their domestic market, they will seek other business opportunities on export markets and thus generate an increase in import volumes on such markets.
Ipak, u antidampinškom i antisubvencijskom ispitnom postupku, višak kapaciteta u industriji čelika nije ispitana kao nepredviđeni razvoj događaja jer taj zahtjev nije prisutan u ocjeni na kojoj se temelji uvođenje instrumenata trgovinske zaštite.
On this basis, the above mentioned claims have to be rejected.
Na osnovi veze između nepredviđenog razvoja viška kapaciteta industrije čelika i povećanja uvoza, vidljivo je da proizvođači izvoznici žele maksimizirati svoju iskorištenost kapaciteta.
As far as the surge of adoption of trade restrictive measures is concerned, several parties claimed that they could not be recognized as unforeseen developments as they are recognized exceptions to the general WTO rules and that the number of trade defence instrument measures imposed in 2017 decreased.
U situacijama kada je neiskorišteni kapacitet dostupan nakon opskrbe domaćeg tržišta, proizvođači će tražiti druge poslovne mogućnosti na izvoznim tržištima i tako generirati povećanje obujma uvoza.
The Commission does not contest the right of countries to take anti-dumping or anti-subsidy measures according to the relevant WTO rules.
Tvrdile su i da veza između povećanja uvoza i nepredviđenog razvoja mjera ograničavanja trgovine nije utvrđena.
The issue at stake, however, is the unprecedented and increased number of such measures taken by third countries, which have created trade diversion resulting in increase of imports into the EU.
Komisija se ne slaže s takvim tvrdnjama jer činjenica da se mjere ograničavanja trgovine poduzimaju u okviru pravila WTO-a ne znači da se one ne mogu smatrati nepredviđenim razvojem događaja.
No party has questioned these figures which indicate an unforeseen development, leading to the increase of imports established above.
Međutim, u pitanju je dosad nezabilježeno povećanje broja takvih mjera koje poduzimaju treće zemlje, što je dovelo do preusmjeravanja trgovine te rezultiralo povećanjem uvoza u EU.
Therefore, the above claims were rejected.
Podsjeća se da je u uvodnoj izjavi 34.
Other interested parties indicated that even the imports that took place from January 2018 to March 2018 are not affected by the US Section 232 measures.
Te brojke koje upućuju na nepredviđeni razvoj događaja, koji je doveo do utvrđenog povećanja uvoza, ni jedna stranka nije dovela u pitanje.
In this regard, it should first be noted that while the US Section 232 measures were effectively introduced on 8 March 2018, the investigation that led to their adoption was already initiated in April 2017 and the report on which basis they were decided was issued on 11 January 2018.
Stoga su prethodno navedene tvrdnje odbijene.
Moreover, as further confirmed below, since the adoption of the US Section 232 measures, the Commission considered that trade diversion was already taking place with regard to some product categories.
Isto tako treba napomenuti da su mjere SAD-a iz odjeljka 232. ubrzale povećanje uvoza uvođenjem novih tokova preusmjeravanja trgovine na prethodni prevladavajući trend rasta.
It should also be noted, in this respect, that the US Section 232 measures have sped up the increase in imports by adding further trade diversion flows to the prevailing prior increasing trend.
Ostale zainteresirane strane navele su da je utjecaj mjera SAD-a iz odjeljka 232. potrebno zanemariti ili ne precijeniti jer djeluju uz izuzeće mnogih proizvoda.
As reported in Table 14, available statistics show that, with the exception of April 2018, monthly imports of steel into the US became consistently lower than their corresponding volume in 2017.
U istom se kontekstu tvrdilo da korejski izvoz nije problem jer je Koreja osigurala dovoljan obujam izvoznih kvota od administracije SAD-a.
This coincides with an opposite increasing trend in imports observed in the Union, where, as noted in Table 12, monthly imports volumes were consistently at a higher level than a year before.
U pogledu tih zemalja, treba napomenuti da je veći broj kvota postavljen na nulu i da su brojne kvote bile iscrpljene već prilikom raspodjele.
Other interested parties indicated that the impact of the Section 232 measures should be disregarded or not be overestimated as they operate subject to many product exclusions.
Na temelju toga, smatra se da nije zajamčeno da će odobrena kvota biti dovoljna za sprečavanje preusmjeravanja trgovine.
In the same context, it was claimed that Korean exports are a non-issue as Korea has secured enough export quota volume from the US administration.
Imajući u vidu navedeno, potvrđuje se da je nepredviđeni razvoj događaja opisan u uvodnoj izjavi 49. doveo te i će i dalje voditi do očitog porasta uvoza čelika u Uniju.
In this regard, it should be noted that only Australia was unconditionally exempted from the Section 232 measures and that its imports of the products concerned accounted for around 1 % of total US imports in 2017.
PRIJETNJA OZBILJNE ŠTETE
Other countries such as South Korea, Argentina and Brazil were granted a tariff-free quota but were not exempted from the measures.
U skladu s globalnim pristupom opsega proizvoda koji je definiran u ovom ispitnom postupku, analiza štete u privremenoj fazi je isto tako provedena globalno.
As far as these countries are concerned, it should be noted that a higher number of quotas were set at zero and that numerous quotas were already exhausted upon allocation.
Privremena uredba povremeno je ilustrirala da su zaključci o šteti u okviru globalne analize potkrijepljeni s pomoću primjera i na razini kategorija proizvoda.
On this basis, it is considered that the allocated quotas give no guarantee that the allocated quota would be sufficient to prevent trade diversion.
Isto tako, procjena štete u konačnoj fazi provedena je na globalnoj razini, točnije za predmetni proizvod koji se ocjenjuje, čime je obuhvaćeno 26 kategorija proizvoda u kojima je Komisija utvrdila povećanje uvoza.
Furthermore, on the basis of available statistics, it appears that these three countries accounted for less than 20 % of the total 2017 imports.
Međutim, kao i u razvoju uvoza, Komisija je svoju analizu dopunila ocjenom za svaku od tri obitelji proizvoda navedenih u uvodnoj izjavi 21.
Therefore, the relevant claims on quotas were rejected.
Analiza štete, u nastavku, temelji se na odgovorima na upitnik koje je dostavila industrija Unije.
Considering the above, it is confirmed that the unforeseen developments described in recital (49) have lead and will further lead to a clear increase of the steel imports into the Union.
Nakon primitka ažuriranih informacija i provjere podataka, pokazatelji štete opisani u privremenoj fazi ažurirani su prema potrebi kako bi se uključili najnoviji podaci iz 2018.
THREAT OF SERIOUS INJURY
Globalni razvoj stanja industrije čelika u Uniji
In line with the global product scope approach defined in this investigation, at provisional stage, the injury analysis was also made globally.
Potrošnja, domaća prodaja i tržišni udjeli
Occasionally, the provisional Regulation illustrated that the conclusions on injury under the global analysis were corroborated also at product category level by way of examples.
Komisija je utvrdila potrošnju Unije zbrajajući prodaju domaćih proizvođača u Uniji i uvoz iz svih zemalja, te isključujući uvoz iz članica EGP-a i iz određenih zemalja s kojima je Unija potpisala Sporazum o gospodarskom partnerstvu koji je trenutno na snazi (vidjeti prethodnu uvodnu izjavu 30.).
Likewise, the injury assessment at the definitive stage has been conducted on a global basis, namely for the product concerned under assessment, thereby including the 26 product categories where the Commission found an increase in imports.
Na temelju toga, potrošnja Unije, prodaja proizvođača iz Unije i odgovarajući tržišni udio razvili su se na sljedeći način:
However, as in the evolutions of imports, the Commission supplemented its analysis with an assessment for each of the three product families referred to in recital (21) above.
Tablica 4.
The injury analysis below is based on the questionnaire replies submitted by the Union industry.
Potrošnja Unije, domaća prodaja i tržišni udio
Following receipt of more up-to-date information and the verification of the data, the injury indicators described at provisional stage were updated where appropriate in order to include the most recent (2018) data.
