By Regulation (EC) No 1470/2001 [2] (the ‘original Regulation’), the Council imposed definitive anti-dumping duties ranging from 0 % to 66,1 % on imports of integrated electronic compact fluorescent lamps (‘CFL-i’) originating in the People’s Republic of China (the ‘original investigation’).
Z Uredbo (ES) št. 1470/2001 [2] („prvotna uredba“) je Svet uvedel dokončne protidampinške dajatve v razponu od 0 % do 66,1 % na uvoz integriranih elektronskih kompaktnih fluorescenčnih žarnic (CFL-i) s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske („prvotna preiskava“).
By Regulation (EC) No 866/2005 [3], further to an investigation in accordance with Article 13 of the basic Regulation, the Council extended the definitive anti-dumping measures imposed by the original Regulation to imports of the same product consigned from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the Republic of the Philippines.
Svet je z Uredbo (ES) št. 866/2005 [3] v zvezi s preiskavo v skladu s členom 13 osnovne uredbe razširil dokončne protidampinške ukrepe, uvedene z osnovno uredbo, na uvoz enakega izdelka, poslanega iz Socialistične republike Vietnam, Islamske republike Pakistan in Republike Filipini.
On 3 August 2004, the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 11(3) of Regulation (EC) No 384/96 limited in scope to the examination of the product scope.
Komisija je 3. avgusta 2004 prejela zahtevo v skladu s členom 11(3) Uredbe (ES) št. 384/96, omejeno na preučitev obsega izdelka.
The request was submitted by Steca Batterieladesysteme und Präzisionselektronik GmbH, an importer of CFL-i produced in the People’s Republic of China (the applicant).
Zahtevo je poslalo podjetje Steca Batterieladesysteme und Präzisionselektronik GmbH, uvoznik CFL-i, ki se proizvajajo v Ljudski republiki Kitajski („vložnik“).
The applicant imported CFL-i working on direct current voltage (DC-CFL-i).
Vložnik je uvoznik CFL-i, ki delujejo pri napetosti enosmernega toka (DC-CFL-i).
The applicant alleged that the latter had different basic technical and physical characteristics as well as different end uses and applications to CFL-i working on alternating current voltage (AC-CFL-i).
Vložnik je trdil, da ima slednji drugačne osnovne tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti ter drugačno uporabo in rabo kot CFL-i, ki deluje pri napetosti izmeničnega toka (AC-CFL-i).
The applicant further alleged that only AC-CFL-i should be subject to the anti-dumping duties in force because only these were targeted by the original investigation.
Vložnik je trdil tudi, da bi morale protidampinške dajatve veljati samo za AC-CFL-i, ker so bili samo ti predmet prvotne preiskave.
Consequently, the applicant claimed that DC-CFL-i should be explicitly excluded from the scope of the anti-dumping duty and the definition of the product concerned of the original Regulation amended accordingly.
V skladu s tem je vložnik trdil, da je treba DC-CFL-i izrecno izvzeti iz obsega uporabe protidampinške dajatve ter skladno s tem spremeniti opredelitev zadevnega izdelka iz prvotne uredbe.
The applicant also requested that any exclusion of the DC-CFL-i from the product scope should have retroactive effect.
Vložnik je obenem zahteval, da mora imeti vsaka izključitev DC-CFL-i iz obsega izdelka, za katerega veljajo ukrepi, retroaktivni učinek.
Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient prima facie evidence existed, the Commission announced by a notice (‘the notice of initiation’) published in the Official Journal of the European Union [4] the initiation of a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of the product scope.
Komisija je po posvetovanju s svetovalnim odborom ugotovila, da je dovolj prima facie dokazov, zato je z uradnim obvestilom („obvestilo o začetku“), objavljenim v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [4] napovedala začetek delnega vmesnega pregleda v skladu s členom 11(3) osnovne uredbe, omejenega na preučitev obsega izdelka.
The Commission officially advised the authorities of the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’), the producers/exporters in the PRC, the importers in the Community known to be concerned, the producers in the Community and the associations of producers in the Community of the initiation of the investigation.
Komisija je z začetkom preiskave uradno seznanila državne organe Ljudske republike Kitajske (LRK), proizvajalce/izvoznike v LRK, uvoznike v Skupnosti, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter proizvajalce v Skupnosti in njihova združenja.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and request a hearing within the time limit set in the notice of initiation.
Zainteresiranim strankam je bila dana možnost, da pisno predstavijo svoja stališča in zaprosijo za zaslišanje v roku, določenem v obvestilu o začetku.
The Commission requested from all parties known to be concerned, and all other companies which made themselves known within the deadlines set out in the notice of initiation, basic information concerning total turnover, sales value and volume in the European Community, production capacity, actual production, value and volume of total imports of CFL-i and of DC-CFL-i only.
Komisija je zahtevala, da vse stranke, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, in vsa druga podjetja, ki so se javila v rokih, določenih v obvestilu o začetku, pošljejo osnovne podatke o skupnem prometu, vrednosti in obsegu prodaje v Evropski skupnosti, proizvodni zmogljivosti, dejanski proizvodnji, vrednosti in obsegu celotnega uvoza CFL-i in posebej DC-CFL-i.
The Commission sought and verified all information deemed necessary for the purpose of the assessment as to whether there is a need for amendment of the scope of the existing measures.
Komisija je poiskala in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za oceno o tem, ali obstaja potreba po spremembi obsega obstoječih ukrepov.
Five producers/exporters in the PRC, one producer in the Community, one importer related to an exporter/producer in the PRC and 11 unrelated importers in the Community cooperated in the present investigation and submitted the basic information mentioned in recital 6.
Pri tej preiskavi je sodelovalo pet proizvajalcev/izvoznikov v LRK, en proizvajalec v Skupnosti, en uvoznik, povezan z izvoznikom/proizvajalcem v LRK, in enajst nepovezanih uvoznikov v Skupnosti, ki so tudi predložili osnovne informacije iz uvodne izjave (6).
The investigation period covered the period from 1 November 2003 to 31 October 2004 (the ‘IP’).
Obdobje preiskave je zajelo obdobje od 1. novembra 2003 do 31. oktobra 2004 („OP“).
All interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the present conclusions were reached.
Vse zainteresirane stranke so bile seznanjene z bistvenimi dejstvi in premisleki, na podlagi katerih so bile sprejete sedanje sklepne ugotovitve.
In accordance with Article 20(5) of the basic Regulation, parties were granted a period within which they could make representations subsequent to this disclosure.
V skladu s členom 20(5) osnovne uredbe je bilo določeno obdobje, v katerem so stranke lahko predložile svoja stališča glede tega razkritja.
The product concerned is, as defined in Article 1 of the original Regulation, CFL-i, currently classifiable within CN code ex85393190.
Zadevni izdelek je, kakor je opredeljeno v členu 1 prvotne uredbe, žarnica CFL-i, trenutno uvrščena pod oznako KN ex85393190.
A CFL-i is an electronic compact fluorescent discharge lamp with one or more glass tubes, with all lighting elements and electronic components fixed to or integrated in the lamp foot.
Žarnica CFL-i je elektronska kompaktna fluorescenčna žarnica na razelektrenje z eno ali več steklenimi cevmi, z vsemi svetilnimi elementi in elektronskimi sestavnimi deli, pritrjenimi na podnožje ali vanj vdelanimi.
As stated in recital 11 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 255/2001 of 7 February 2001 imposing a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of CFL-i originating in the PRC [5] (the ‘provisional Regulation’) and confirmed by the definitive findings of the original Regulation, the product concerned is designed to replace normal incandescent lamps and fits into the same lamp socket as the incandescent lamps.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 11 Uredbe Komisije (ES) št. 255/2001 z dne 7. februarja 2001 o uvedbi začasne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz CFL-i s poreklom iz LRK [5] („začasna uredba“) in potrjeno z dokončnimi ugotovitvami prvotne uredbe, je zadevni izdelek namenjen nadomestitvi običajnih žarnic in ga je mogoče vstaviti v ista žarnična grla kot običajne žarnice.
While during the original investigation different product types have been identified depending on, inter alia, the lifetime, the wattage and the cover of the lamp, the different input voltage has not been investigated, nor was it raised by any interested party during the original investigation.
Med prvotno preiskavo so bili različni tipi izdelkov sicer opredeljeni na podlagi med drugim življenjske dobe, moči in ohišja žarnice, vendar preiskava ni zajemala različne vhodne napetosti, niti ni tega med prvotno preiskavo zahtevala nobena stranka.
In order to assess whether DC-CFL-i and AC-CFL-i should be considered as one single product or two different products, it was examined whether DC-CFL-i and AC-CFL-i shared the same basic physical and technical characteristics and end-uses.
Da bi ocenili, ali je treba DC-CFL-i in AC-CFL-i obravnavati kot en izdelek ali dva različna izdelka, se je preverilo, ali imata DC-CFL-i in AC-CFL-i iste osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter končno uporabo.
In this regard, the interchangeability and the competition between AC-CFL-i and DC-CFL-i in the Community were also assessed.
V zvezi s tem je bilo ocenjeno tudi, ali sta AC-CFL-i in DC-CFL-i zamenljiva in ali v Skupnosti drug drugemu konkurirata.
Basic physical and technical characteristics
Osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti
All CFL-i are composed of two main elements: one (or more) gas discharge tube(s) and one electronic ballast.
Vsi CFL-i so sestavljeni iz dveh glavnih elementov: ena (ali več) cev(-i) na razelektrenje, ki vsebuje(-jo) plin in eno elektronsko dušilko.
Basically, the electronic ballast supplies electrons into the gas discharge tube.
Elektronska dušilka usmeri elektrone v cev.
The electrons activate the gas that emits energy in the form of light.
Elektroni aktivirajo plin, ki sprosti energijo v obliki svetlobe.
The input voltage for AC-CFL-i and DC-CFL-i, however, differs; i.e. it is alternating for AC-CFL-i whereas it is direct for DC-CFL-i.
Vhodna napetost med AC-CFL-i in DC-CFL-i pa se razlikuje; pri AC-CFL-i je izmenična, pri DC-CFL-i pa enosmerna.
As a consequence, the electronic ballasts used in DC-CFL-i must have different components to the ones used in AC-CFL-i because they need to fulfil additional functions, namely to change the direct voltage into alternating voltage in order to ensure that light can be produced.
Zato morajo imeti elektronske dušilke v DC-CFL-i drugačne sestavne dele kot dušilke, ki se uporabljajo v AC-CFL-i, ker morajo za proizvajanje svetlobe opravljati dodatne funkcije, namreč spreminjati enosmerni tok v izmeničnega.
The Community industry argued that in the original investigation the product produced in the analogue country (Mexico) was considered as a like product even if CFL-i produced in this country were destined for lower voltages.
Industrija Skupnosti je trdila, da se je izdelek, izdelan v primerljivi državi (Mehika), pri prvotni preiskavi štel za primerljiv izdelek, čeprav so CFI-i v tej državi namenjeni uporabi pri nižjih napetostih.
Therefore, AC-CFL-i being used in low voltage systems should also be considered as being the same product as DC-CFL-i.
Zato bi bilo treba tudi AC-CFL-i, ki se uporabljajo pri nizkonapetostnih sistemih, šteti za enak izdelek kot DC-CFL-i.
It should, however, be noted that although the voltage system in Mexico was different from the one in the Community, the CFL-i produced in Mexico and those produced in the Community were both functioning on alternating current.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da tako izdelek, proizveden v Mehiki, kot tisti, proizveden v Skupnosti, delujeta na izmenični tok, kljub temu, da se napetostna sistema v Mehiki in Skupnosti razlikujeta.
Both had exactly the same functions, i.e. to replace normal incandescent lamps in the respective markets.
Oba imata popolnoma iste funkcije, tj. nadomestitev običajnih žarnic na obeh trgih.
In the present review, the difference between the two types of lamp is not only the voltage as in the abovementioned case of the Mexican lamps, but also the structure of the power supply used by the DC-CFL-i and AC-CFL-i, which requires the use of different components, and therefore, confers to each type different technical characteristics.
Pri sedanji preiskavi ne gre le za različno napetost obeh tipov žarnic, kot v zgoraj omenjenem primeru v Mehiki, temveč tudi za to, da se za DC-CFL-i in AC-CFL-i, uporablja različna vrsta napajanja, ki zahteva različne sestavne dele, kar daje tipoma izdelka tudi različne tehnične lastnosti.
Basic end uses and interchangeability
Osnovna in končna uporaba ter zamenljivost
As mentioned in recital 11, the product concerned by the original investigation is designed to replace normal incandescent lamps.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 11, naj bi zadevni izdelek prvotne preiskave nadomestil običajne žarnice.
Based on the information submitted by the Community industry and the Chinese exporting producers, the total consumption of the Community market for DC-CFL-i represents less than 2 % of the total CFL-i consumption.
Na podlagi informacij, ki sta jih predložila industrija Skupnosti in kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, znaša skupna poraba na trgu Skupnosti za DC-CFL-i manj kot 2 % celotne porabe CFL-i.
It follows that AC-CFL-i is the most imported and most used type of CFL-i in the Community market, i.e. almost 100 % of total imports and total Community sales are AC-CFL-i.
Iz tega sledi, da so AC-CFL-i najpomembnejši tip CFL-i, ki se na trgu Skupnosti najbolj uporablja, kar pomeni, da skoraj 100 % celotnega uvoza in celotne prodaje Skupnosti predstavljajo AC-CFL-i.
Given the above, AC-CFL-i are designed to replace the most-used incandescent lamps and fit into the same lamp sockets as these incandescent lamps.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno, so AC-CFL-i namenjeni nadomestitvi najbolj uporabljanih žarnic in jih je mogoče vstaviti v ista žarnična grla kot te žarnice.
Since DC-CFL-i do not use the same input current, they will not produce light if used in a socket for normal incandescent lamps.
DC-CFL-i ne uporabljajo istega vhodnega toka, zato pri uporabi v običajnih žarničnih grlih ne svetijo.
In the opposite case, if AC-CFL-i are screwed into a socket supplied with direct current, no light will be produced either.
Prav tako pa v nasprotnem primeru ne svetijo AC-CFL-i, ki jih privijemo v žarnično grlo, ki jo napaja enosmerni tok.
Consequently, in order to produce light with DC-CFL-i, direct current needs to be supplied and in order to produce light with AC-CFL-i, alternating current needs to be supplied.
Za proizvajanje svetlobe potrebujejo torej DC-CFL-i napajanje z enosmernim, AC-CFL-i pa z izmeničnim tokom.
Furthermore, AC-CFL-i are used in the applications listed in recital 110 of the provisional Regulation, i.e. by private households, industry and a large number of commercial establishments such as shops and restaurants, whereas DC-CFL-i are, unless rare exceptions, not used in these applications.
Poleg tega je razpon uporabe AC-CFL-i, navedene v uvodni izjavi 110 začasne uredbe, zelo širok, tj. za zasebna gospodinjstva, industrijo in veliko število komercialnih ustanov, kot so trgovine in restavracije, kjer pa se DC-CFL-i, razen izjemoma, ne uporabljajo.
Users of AC-CFL-i are mostly connected to the public electricity network, while DC-CFL-i are used in areas without connection to public electricity network and rely therefore mainly on other sources of electricity supply (battery, solar systems, photovoltaic panels).
Uporabniki AC-CFL-i so večinoma priključeni na javno električno omrežje, medtem ko se DC-CFL-i uporabljajo na območjih, ki niso priključena na javno električno omrežje in so odvisna predvsem od drugih virov dobave električne energije (baterija, solarni sistem, fotovoltaični panel).
They are used in isolated or rural areas for mining purposes, to lighten shelters, in camping lighting, on vessels, etc. On this basis, it was considered that DC-CFL-i cannot replace normal incandescent lamps and consequently that AC-CFL-i and DC-CFL-i are not interchangeable.
Uporabljajo se na osamljenih ali podeželskih območjih, v rudnikih, za osvetlitev zaklonišč, v kampih, na čolnih itd. Na podlagi tega se je štelo, da DC-CFL-i ne morejo nadomestiti običajnih žarnic, in da AC-CFL-i posledično niso zamenljivi z DC-CFL-i.
Therefore, it is concluded that in the sense of the original Regulation, normal incandescent lamps are considered lamps which are used in alternating current supply.
Zato se sklene, da se v smislu prvotne uredbe običajne žarnice štejejo kot žarnice, ki se uporabljajo pri napajanju z izmeničnim tokom.
The Community industry claimed that, notwithstanding the above, AC-CFL-i and DC-CFL-i have the same basic end-uses, i.e. producing light.
Ne glede na zgoraj navedeno je industrija Skupnosti trdila, da imajo AC-CFL-i in DC-CFL-i isto osnovno končno uporabo, tj. proizvajanje svetlobe.
They should therefore be considered as a single product.
Zato jih je treba obravnavati kot en izdelek.
In this regard, the Community industry compared AC-CFL-i and DC-DCL-i to different types of cars depending whether they use petrol or diesel motors.
V zvezi s tem je industrija Skupnosti primerjala AC-CFL-i in DC-DCL-i z različnimi vrstami avtomobilov, ki se razlikujejo po tem, ali uporabljajo bencinske ali dizelske motorje.
The Community industry argued that both types of cars would have the same functions, i.e. motorised street transport of persons, and would therefore be considered as one single product.
Industrija Skupnosti je trdila, da imata obe vrsti avtomobilov iste funkcije, tj. motorizirano prevažanje oseb po cestah, in se zato štejejo kot en izdelek.
However, besides the fact that the determination of whether cars with petrol motors and cars with diesel motors form one single product is not subject to the present interim review, the above comparison was considered inappropriate because focused on the wrong parameter (the motor).
Poleg dejstva, da je ugotavljanje, ali avtomobili z bencinskim motorjem in avtomobili z dizelskim motorjem predstavljajo en izdelek, ni predmet tega vmesnega pregleda, se zdi zgornja primerjava neustrezna, ker je osredotočena na napačno merilo (motor).
In the present case, the relevant parameter is whether the product has the physical and technical characteristics to produce light when used in a socket for normal incandescent lamps.
V sedanjem primeru je ustrezno merilo vprašanje, ali je ima izdelek fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti, ki omogočajo proizvajanje svetlobe, kadar ga vstavimo v dozo za običajne žarnice.
Some parties claimed that a very limited number of specific models of AC-CFL-i could function both on alternating and direct current.
Nekatere stranke so trdile, da lahko zelo omejeno število posebnih modelov AC-CFL-i deluje tako na izmenični kot enosmerni tok.
Those lamps were found to have the same end uses as AC-CFL-i functioning only on alternating current.
Za te žarnice je bilo ugotovljeno, da imajo isto končno uporabo kot AC-CFL-i, ki delujejo samo na izmenični tok.
They are therefore considered lamps which are used in alternating current supply.
Zato se štejejo za žarnice, ki se uporabljajo pri napajanju z izmeničnim tokom.
It follows from the above that AC-CFL-i and DC-CFL-i are not interchangeable and do not, therefore, share the same basic end-uses.
Iz zgoraj navedenega sledi, da AC-CFL-i in DC-CFL-i niso zamenljivi in zato nimajo iste osnovne končne uporabe.
Competition between AC-CFL-i and DC-CFL-i
Konkurenca med AC-CFL-i in DC-CFL-i
As mentioned above, AC-CFL-i and DC-CFL-i are not used in the same areas of applications and are thus not interchangeable but supply different markets.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, se AC-CFL-i in DC-CFL-i ne uporabljajo na istih področjih uporabe in tako niso zamenljivi, temveč se z njimi oskrbujejo različni trgi.
Furthermore, due to their specific end-uses, DC-CFL-i can only be purchased in specialised shops or directly from the producers.
Poleg tega je DC-CFL-i zaradi njihove posebne končne uporabe mogoče kupiti le v specializiranih trgovinah ali neposredno pri proizvajalcih.
In contrast, AC-CFL-i can be purchased in most of the mass consumer distribution stores.
V nasprotju s tem pa je AC-CFL-i mogoče kupiti v večini trgovin z izdelki široke potrošnje.
The sole cooperating EC producer claimed that, in areas where alternating current is available, consumers may choose to be equipped with photovoltaic panels and solar panels which supply direct current.
Edini sodelujoči proizvajalec ES je trdil, da se lahko potrošniki na območjih, kjer je na voljo izmenični tok, odločijo za opremo s fotovoltaičnimi in solarnimi paneli, ki proizvajajo enosmerni tok.
Therefore, it was claimed that there would be competition between DC and AC-CFL-i.
V temu primeru bi torej med DC in AC-CFL-i obstajala konkurenca.
It is noted that choosing between two sources of energy supply is a choice that goes well beyond the sole use of CFL-i because of the level of investment needed and the fact that this choice affects all electrically fed apparatus in the house.
Opozarja se, da izbira med tema dvema viroma presega zgolj vprašanje uporabe CFL-i, ker zahteva višjo raven naložbe in ker ta izbira vpliva na vse naprave v hiši, ki jih napaja elektrika.
It is therefore highly unlikely that the investment in photovoltaic panels would result only from the competition between DC and AC-CFL-i.
Zato je zelo neverjetno, da bi bila konkurenca med DC in AC-CFL-i edini razlog za naložbo v fotovoltaičnimi panel.
It is also noted that DC-CFL-i are more expensive than AC-CFL-i, and therefore it is considered that this claim is not supported by economic logic.
Opozarja se tudi, da so DC-CFL-i dražji od AC-CFL-i, zato se šteje, da trditev ne temelji na ekonomski logiki.
On this basis, the claim had to be rejected.
Na podlagi tega je bilo treba trditev zavrniti.
Since DC-CFL-i and AC-CFL-i can not be used on the same types of power grids, it is concluded that there is no competition between those types.
Ker se DC-CFL-i in AC-CFL-i ne morejo uporabljati pri istih vrstah električnih omrežij, se sklene, da med obema tipoma ni konkurence.
Distinction between DC-CFL-i and AC-CFL-i
Razlikovanje med AC-CFL-i in DC-CFL-i
The argument was made that DC-CFL-i and AC-CFL-i could not be clearly distinguished.
Postavljena je bila trditev, da DC-CFL-i in AC-CFL-i ni mogoče jasno razlikovati.
In this respect, it is noted that although both DC-CFL-i and AC-CFL-i fall within the same CN code ex85393190, a distinction can easily be made.
V zvezi s tem se opozarja, da jih je mogoče enostavno razločiti, čeprav spadajo DC-CFL-i in AC-CFL-i pod isto oznako KN ex85393190.
Indeed, to distinguish DC-CFL-i from AC-CFL-i, the following criterion can be applied: the DC-CFL-i do not produce light when screwed in an alternating current voltage socket and switched on.
Pri tem lahko uporabimo naslednje merilo: če DC-CFL-i privijemo v žarnično grlo, ki jo napaja izmenični tok, in aktiviramo stikalo, ne svetijo.
Moreover, DC-CFL-i are clearly marked, i.e. the low input voltage is clearly indicated on the product, in order to prevent consumers from using such lamps in alternating current sockets, and consequently from destroying them.
Poleg tega so DC-CFL-i jasno označeni, tj. na izdelku je jasno navedena nizka vhodna napetost, da bi potrošnikom preprečili uporabo teh žarnic v žarničnih grlih, ki jih napaja izmenični tok, s čimer bi se izdelki uničili.
