PARTIAL INTERIM REVIEW INVESTIGATION LIMITED TO THE EXAMINATION OF WHETHER OR NOT IT IS IN THE UNION INTEREST TO MAINTAIN MEASURES CURRENTLY IN FORCE ON CELLS
Pentru detalii suplimentare, a se vedea PV Module Maker Tiering System (Sistemul de stabilire a nivelurilor producătorilor de module fotovoltaice) al BNEF, 4 noiembrie 2016, disponibil la adresa https://data.bloomberglp.com/bnef/sites/4/2012/12/bnef_2012-12-03_PVModuleTiering.pdf, accesat la 7 noiembrie 2016.
As set out in recital 8, the Commission initiated on its own initiative a partial interim review investigation (‘interim review’) limited to the examination of whether or not it is in the Union interest to maintain measures currently in force on cells.

The review was opened as there was prima facie evidence that the circumstances on the basis of which the original measures were imposed had changed.
Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2016-2020, Solar Power Europe, iulie 2016.
In particular, following a restructuring and consolidation of the Union industry, a significant number of cell producers have closed production.
Bloomberg New Energy Finance „Solar manufacturer capacity league table” accesat la 28 octombrie 2016.
The bulk of the remaining cell production capacities in the Union appeared to be largely destined for captive use for the production of modules.
Global Market Outlook For Solar Power, 2016-2020, Solar Power Europe, iulie 2016, p. 30.
Consequently, the Union industry's cell sales to unrelated users were very limited in quantity, while non-vertically integrated module producers depended on the cells supplied form outside of the Union.

Interest of the cell manufacturers
Q4 2016 PV Market Outlook, Solar power, 30 noiembrie 2016, p. 19.
There are 12 Union cell manufactures known to the Commission.
Regulamentul (UE) nr. 513/2013 (JO L 152, 5.6.2013, p.
The Union industry was represented by the association EU Pro Sun, which is the applicant in the expiry review case concerning existing countervailing measures.
5), considerentul 180 și Regulamentul de punere în aplicare (UE) nr. 1238/2013 (JO L 325, 5.12.2013, p.
EU Pro Sun represented four Union cell manufacturers.
1), considerentele 245-247.
Two more cell producers expressly supported EU Pro Sun's position.
A se vedea tabelele 4a și 10a din Regulamentul (UE) nr.513/2013.
EU Pro Sun also represented Solar World as an upstream wafer manufacturer and one more Union wafer producer.
Un preț foarte similar a fost stabilit, de asemenea, pe baza prețului mediu ponderat de export către UE transmis de producătorii-exportatori incluși în eșantion.
In the initial investigation the Commission found that a massive influx of subsidised Chinese solar cells and modules into the Union had contributed to the bankruptcy of many Union cell producers.
Integratorii de sisteme sunt societăți care reunesc componente ale sistemului pentru energie solară, cum ar fi module, invertoare, echipamente de montaj și de stocare și vânzarea acestora ca set pentru utilizatorii finali.
The imposition of measures allowed the remaining Union producers to recover, consolidate and stabilise cell production.
Un ENI anual este estimat la 1680 de ore de lucru.
In particular, the production assets and employees of one of the largest Union cell manufacturers Bosch Solar Energy remained operational as they were taken over by Solar World in 2014.
Un ENI/MW mediu anual depinde de cât de multe proiecte sunt finalizate în fiecare an în fiecare dintre cele trei segmente principale, și anume rezidențiale pe acoperiș, comerciale pe acoperiș și montate pe sol.
If the measures on cells were terminated, Chinese cells exports at subsidised prices would recur in large volumes, causing material injury to the Union industry with very negative consequences to the Union cell industry.
Pentru instalarea totală (inclusiv dezvoltarea proiectului și a sitului, distribuția, logistica, instalarea propriu-zisă și cheltuielile indirecte pentru toate aceste activități) Comisia presupune 8,6 ENI/MW pentru proiecte rezidențiale, 3,7 ENI/MW pentru cele comerciale și 4 ENI/MW pentru cele montate pe sol.
Large capital investments in sophisticated cell manufacturing equipment would become redundant.

Up to 1700 highly skilled workers could lose their job.
GWS, DIW, DLR et.al: Bruttobeschäftigung durch erneuerbare Energien in Deutschland und verringerte fossile Brennstoffimporte durch erneuerbare Energien und Energieeffizienz, p. 8.
The Commission was also notified of the intention of a few Union companies to restore around 300 MW of capacity if the measures are maintained.
Global Market Outlook For Solar Power 2016-2020, Solar Power Europe, p. 16.
The decline of the Union cell manufacturing industry would also have a negative impact on the Union R&D activities.
Regulamentul de punere în aplicare (UE) nr. 1238/2013, considerentul 394.
The cell is the core component of a module and much of the R&D in the solar value chain focuses on cells.
Marktanalyse Photovoltaik-Dachanlagen, Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Energie, 2014, (p. 7).
If the measures on cells were removed the European R&D investment would slow down and the know-how accumulated so far would become redundant or would need to be transferred to third countries.
Curba de învățare de 21 % pentru anul 2015 a fost confirmată în ediția din martie 2016 a International Technology Roadmap for Photovoltaic (ITRPV): Results 2015.
Therefore, there is a risk that excluding cells would cement the dependency of the Union module manufacturers on imported cells.

Terminating the measures on cells might also undermine the measures on modules.
A se vedea, pentru Republica Cehă, Decizia Comisiei SA.40171, 28 noiembrie 2016.
It would enable the Chinese producers to export cells at unfair prices and assemble them into modules either via their subsidiaries or via contract manufacturers located in the Union.
Global Market Outlook For Solar Power 2016-2020, Solar Power Europe, p. 28 și p. 5.
Module assembly lines can be set up relatively quickly, which is evidenced by a fast build-up of module production capacities in South East Asia (see recital 734.
Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2015-2019, Solar Power Europe, p. 18.
EU Pro Sun submitted that such a scenario had taken place in the USA between 2012 and 2014 when the measures on modules failed to be effective.
Comunicarea Comisiei: Orientări privind ajutoarele de stat pentru protecția mediului și energie pentru perioada 2014-2020 (JO C 200, 28.6.2014, p. 1); secțiunile 3.3.2.1. și 3.3.2.4.
The situation changed only when the initial product definition was extended to cells.
Statele membre pot decide să aleagă un prag inferior sau niciun prag.
Therefore, the continuation of measures on cells is clearly in the interest of the Union cell manufacturers and may also confer some benefits on the Union module manufacturers.
Comunicarea Comisiei: Orientări privind ajutoarele de stat pentru protecția mediului și energie pentru perioada 2014-2020 (JO C 200, 28.6.2014, p. 1), punctul 250.
Following disclosure Jabil contested the Commission's finding that the termination of measures on cells would enable the Chinese producers to export cells at unfair prices and assemble them into modules either via their subsidiaries or via contract manufacturers located in the Union.
De asemenea, aceste norme nu se aplică în cazul oricărei scheme de sprijin care nu constituie ajutor de stat.
In response to Jabil's claim, the Commission recalled that if found the likelihood of the continuation of dumping and injury if the measures would be repealed.
Cu toate acestea, Comisia nu are cunoștință de faptul că vreun stat membru și-ar fi proiectat schema de sprijin în așa fel încât să nu constituie ajutor de stat.
The Commission also explained that contract manufacturers, such as Jabil, have a significantly different business model and cost structure than the rest of the Union industry.
Global Market Outlook For Solar Power 2016-2020, Solar Power Europe, p. 8 și p. 37.
In particular cost manufactures operate with much smaller overhead resources as they do not take the same responsibility for the sales, marketing and R&D of their products as set out in recitals 513 and 563.
Acest rezultat a fost a confirmat, de asemenea, în Țările de Jos, în cadrul programului SDE+, unde în perioada 2013-2015 s-a acordat sprijin unei proporții de aproximativ 55 % din totalul ofertelor bazate pe energie solară.
Therefore, if the Commission would repeal the measures on cells in the interest of the Union module makers, nothing could stop a Union-based contract manufacturer from assembling modules from dumped Chinese cells.
Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2015-2019, Solar Power Europe, p. 22.
In fact, a contract manufacturer is not even obliged to know what the real price of a cell is, as its usual business model consists of charging a tolling fee to another company that provides inputs and takes full responsibility of the sales of the outputs.
Global Market Outlook for Solar Power 2015-2019, Solar Power Europe, p. 23.
Therefore, the Commission continued to consider that the termination of the measures on cells could lead to unfair prices on modules, which could be assembled in the Union from dumped Chinese cells either by related companies or contract manufactures.
LCOE reprezintă unitatea de măsură principală pentru costul energiei electrice produse de un activ generator de energie.
Following disclosure SPE claimed that there is no causal link between imports of cells from the PRC and the sales of Union-made cells; in their view the Union industry faced competition from third countries.
Acesta se calculează prin contabilizarea tuturor costurilor preconizate pe durata de viață a unui sistem (inclusiv construcții, finanțare, combustibil, întreținere, taxe, asigurări și stimulente), care sunt împărțite apoi la producția de energie preconizată pe durata de viață a sistemului (kWh).
The same party claimed that the measures did not protect the investments in the cell industry and that the cell workforce is not threatened by redundancy if the measures lapse.
Toate estimările costurilor și beneficiilor sunt ajustate cu inflația și actualizate pentru a ține cont de valoarea-timp a banilor.
That party also claimed that the cell captive market was not affected by the imports of the Chinese cells.
H2 2016 EMEA LCOE Outlook, octombrie 2016, p. 2.
The Commission made an additional analysis of the impact of the sales of cells from third countries as set out in recital 579 and reiterated that third countries sales did not cause injury.

It also analysed further the impact of the measures on investment in Union cell industry as set out in recital 571 and reiterated that the measures have a positive impact on investment.
BNEF, New Energy Outlook 2016, p. 28.
Moreover, it found an impact of Chinese imports on the Union cell captive market as set out in recital 508.
Idem p. 23 și 2017 Germany Power Market Outlook, 10 ianuarie 2017, p. 9.
Given the low profitability of the Union cell industry today, the Commission continued to consider that the Union cell workforce faces the threat of losing their jobs if the measures were allowed to lapse.

Interest of unrelated cell importers
Spania aplică, de asemenea, o suprataxă la energia generată de panourile solare.
No unrelated cell importers active in the RIP came forward.
Deși modalitățile suprataxei spaniole sunt foarte diferite de suprataxa germană, ambele au un efect de scădere asupra cererii de instalații solare.
Cells are imported either by Union module manufactures or related importers of the Chinese producers.

Interest of the downstream industry — module producers
Perspective politice europene, trimestrul III 2016, BNEF, 4 august 2016, p. 8.
Seven European module manufactures came forward calling for the exclusion of cells from the measure.
Solar Power Europe, Global Market Outlook 2016-2020, p. 25.
Some of these companies are supporters of EU Pro Sun position on the continuation of measures on modules.
Idem p. 26.
Some upstream and downstream companies provided submissions opposing the measures specifically on cells; however most upstream and downstream companies focused on the reasons for and effects of the termination of the measures on modules.
Idem p. 23.
The parties calling to terminate the measures on cells drew attention to the fact that almost all the cells manufactured in the Union are used in-house by vertically integrated companies.
Un utilizator rezidențial mediu nu este acasă în cea mai mare parte a zilei și, prin urmare, fără stocare nu va putea să utilizeze pentru consumul propriu cea mai mare parte a energiei electrice generate de sistemul de pe acoperiș.
For this reason, the non-vertically integrated module manufacturers, which make up more than 65 % of the Union module output, are dependent on cell imports.
BNEF, New Energy Outlook 2016, p. 17.
These parties claimed that almost all imports of cells into the Union are subject either to measures or enhanced customs checks stemming from the anti-circumvention measures on Malaysian and Taiwanese cells.
Directiva 2009/28/CE a Parlamentului European și a Consiliului din 23 aprilie 2009 privind promovarea utilizării energiei din surse regenerabile, de modificare și ulterior de abrogare a Directivelor 2001/77/CE și 2003/30/CE (JO L 140, 5.6.2009, p.
This causes additional administrative and financial burden on non-vertically integrated module manufacturers.
16).
The parties opposing the measures on cells also submitted that the measures on cells were ineffective as they failed to bring new capacities in the Union.
Regulamentul inițial definitiv, considerentul 749.
The measures, in their view, also increase the price of the final product, i.e. modules, with the negative impact on demand, customers and broader Union environmental policy objectives.

Lack of supply of cells in the Union
Q4 2016 Global Market Outlook, Preparing for a tough year ahead, BNEF, 30 noiembrie 2016 și Q3 2016 PV Market Outlook, Solar power – not everyone needs it right now, BNEF, 1 septembrie 2016.
There are only few cells manufacturers in the Union and almost all of them use their cells in-house and sell only very small quantities to third parties.
Acest lucru înseamnă că, odată cu fiecare dublare a capacității de generare a energiei solare, costul producției de module scade cu 21 %.
On the basis of its investigation, the Commission agreed that the cells sold by the Union industry on the Union market satisfy less than 5 % of the demand of the non-vertically integrated Union module manufactures.
Q3 2016 PV Market Outlook, Solar power – not everyone needs it right now, BNEF, 1 septembrie 2016, p. 1.
The parties further claimed that even if more Union cells were sold on the open market, the Union capacity and production of cells would by far be insufficient to satisfy the total Union demand for cells and even less adequate to satisfy the total demand for modules.
Energy Trend PV, Cell prices, actualizat la 4 ianuarie 2017.
The Commission found that cell production in the Union was 1270 MW in the RIP, which means that it could cover 37 % of the total Union demand for cells, which was estimated at 3409 MW.
Regulamentul de punere în aplicare (UE) 2016/1998 al Comisiei din 15 noiembrie 2016 de retragere a acceptării angajamentului pentru cinci producători-exportatori în temeiul Deciziei de punere în aplicare 2013/707/UE de confirmare a acceptării unui angajament oferit în legătură cu procedurile antidumping și antisubvenție privind importurile de module fotovoltaice pe bază de siliciu cristalin și componentele lor cheie (și anume celule) originare sau expediate din Republica Populară Chineză pentru perioada de aplicare a măsurilor definitive (JO L 308, 16.11.2016, p. 8).
The Union cell manufacturing capacity could cover roughly 18 % of the total Union demand for modules — roughly 7200 MW in the RIP.
Regulamentul (UE) 2016/1036 al Parlamentului European și al Consiliului din 8 iunie 2016 privind protecția împotriva importurilor care fac obiectul unui dumping din partea țărilor care nu sunt membre ale Uniunii Europene (JO L 176, 30.6.2016, p. 21).
Several parties submitted that the measures on cells benefit only one company — Solar World — and put most other non-vertically integrated module manufacturers at a competitive disadvantage in relation to that company.
Pentru societățile menționate în anexa II la regulamentul antidumping paralel, Regulamentul de punere în aplicare (UE) 2017/367 al Comisiei din 1 martie 2017 de instituire a unei taxe antidumping definitive pentru importurile de module fotovoltaice pe bază de siliciu cristalin și componentele lor cheie (și anume celule) originare sau expediate din Republica Populară Chineză, în urma unei reexaminări efectuate în perspectiva expirării măsurilor în conformitate cu articolul 11 alineatul (2) din Regulamentul (UE) 2016/1036 și de încheiere a anchetei de reexaminare intermediară parțială în temeiul articolului 11 alineatul (3) din Regulamentul (UE) 2016/1036 (a se vedea pagina 131 din prezentul Jurnal Oficial), codul adițional TARIC este menționat în respectiva anexă II.
Solar World accounted for more than 70 % of all the cell production in the Union during the RIP.
ANEXA 1
Solar World does not sell any cells on the open market but the ones which it considers not fulfilling its high standards.
Denumirea societății
These parties submitted that the only way for them to purchase cells are the imports from third countries.
ANHUI RINENG ZHONGTIAN SEMICONDUCTOR DEVELOPMENT CO.
If the measures on cells are not terminated, they would remain at a competitive disadvantage in relation to the dominant manufacturer of cells in the Union.
LTD
As noted above, the Commission found that the Union production of cells accounted for 35 % of the demand of cells in the Union and this ratio increased from 23 % in 2012.
CIXI CITY RIXING ELECTRONICS CO.
This means that a substantial proportion of the Union demand can be covered by Union manufactured cells irrespective if these are captive sales or not.
LTD
The Commission also recalled that the average cost of cells manufacturing in the Union was above an average Chinese and Taiwanese contract selling price (as reported by PV Insights).
HUOSHAN KEBO ENERGY & TECHNOLOGY CO.
This means that non-vertically integrated Union module producers could buy the cells from outside of the Union at similar prices or even lower prices.
LTD
This conclusion holds even taking into account the fact that the cells produced in the Union by vertically integrated producers are of high efficiency and high quality and hence are more expensive.
ANEXA 2
Therefore, the measures do not confer a competitive advantage to vertically integrated cell and module manufacturers over the non-vertically integrated ones.
În factura comercială care însoțește vânzările societăților către Uniunea Europeană de mărfuri care fac obiectul angajamentului se indică următoarele elemente:
The Commission further observed that the only period when the non-vertically integrated Union module manufacturers had difficulties in sourcing cells, coincided with an exceptional spike in demand at the end of 2015 and at the beginning of 2016 in the PRC.
Titlul „FACTURĂ COMERCIALĂ DE ÎNSOȚIRE A MĂRFURILOR SUPUSE UNUI ANGAJAMENT”.
During that period the Chinese solar demand peaked at 22 GW [131].
Numele societății care emite factura comercială.
The Chinese target of solar installations was underpinned by generous remuneration schemes, which caused a temporary installation boom.

Therefore, even if the measures had not been in place, the Union module manufacturers would have experienced similar cell supply difficulties as there was a one-off shortage of cells in the PRC for that relatively short period of time.
codul numeric al produsului (PCN);
This period of overheated demand for cells also partially coincided with the Commission's anti-circumvention investigation of Chinese cells and modules via Malaysia and Taiwan.
specificațiile tehnice ale codului numeric al produsului (PCN);
The registration of cells and modules, effective from the date of the initiation of the anti-circumvention case i.e. May 2015, caused some additional supply difficulties to the Union module manufactures.

The temporary supply uncertainty came to an end removing the supply uncertainty.
Descrierea termenilor vânzării, care include:
As set out in recital 751, five more cell manufactures expressly support the continuation of the measures on cells.
termenele de plată aplicabile;
The Commission is aware of more than 10 cells manufacturers in the Union.
termenele de livrare aplicabile;
The key reason why a single producer currently accounts for more than 70 % of all the cells produced in the Union is that many other cell manufactures exited the market as they could not withstand unfair competition from Chinese subsidised products.
reducerile și rabaturile totale.
While most of these manufactures went out of the market, Solar World took over one of the largest Union cell manufacturers in 2014.
Denumirea societății care acționează ca importator și căreia i-a fost emisă factura direct de către societate.
This manufacturer was exiting the market and if the takeover had not happened more than 500 highly skilled workers would have lost their jobs.
Numele responsabilului societății care a eliberat factura comercială și care a semnat următoarea declarație:
Solar World claimed that without the measures in place not only it would have been unable to take over the other company and save its employment, but its own cell manufacturing facilities would have been bankrupt by now.
„Subsemnatul certific prin prezenta faptul că vânzarea pentru export direct către Uniunea Europeană a mărfurilor descrise în prezenta factură se efectuează în cadrul și conform termenilor Angajamentului asumat de [SOCIETATEA] și acceptat de Comisia Europeană prin Decizia de punere în aplicare 2013/707/UE.
Therefore, the non-vertically integrated Union module assemblers face neither supply shortages nor a competitive disadvantage with regard to the vertically integrated ones.
Declar că informațiile furnizate în prezenta factură sunt complete și corecte.”
Consequently, the Union consumers of modules are not negatively affected by the fact that the Union production of cells can cover only a relatively small proportion of the modules consumption.
ANEXA 3
Administrative burden caused by the measures
Certificat de angajament de export
The parties calling to terminate the measures on cells claimed that they impose significant additional business risk, working capital and administrative burden on non-vertically integrated module manufacturers.
