The five companies who had the export obligation included in their investment licences alleged that due to a subsequent change in the applicable Vietnamese legislation which was implemented by Government decree 27/2003ND-CP (amending decree) the export obligation ceased to exist after 7 May 2003.
Pet družb, ki so imele izvozno obveznost vključeno v svoje naložbeno dovoljenje, je zatrjevalo, da je zaradi naknadnih sprememb v veljavni vietnamski zakonodaji, ki so bile izvedene z Uredbo Vlade 27/2003ND-CP („spreminjajoča uredba“), izvozna obveznost prenehala obstajati po 7. maju 2003.
In this regard, it is to be noted that according to the amending decree, the export obligation can only be removed under the condition that other compelling requirements included in the amending decree are met.
V tej zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je v skladu s spreminjajočo uredbo izvozno obveznost možno umakniti samo pod pogojem, da so izpolnjene druge nujne zahteve, vključene v spreminjajoči uredbi.
Therefore, the amending decree did not remove the export obligation but rather amended the requirements which the companies needed to meet for the annulment of their export obligation.
Zato spreminjajoča uredba izvozne obveznosti ni umaknila, ampak raje spremenila zahteve, ki jih morajo izpolniti družbe za razveljavitev svojih izvoznih obveznosti.
The companies further alleged that they would have been entitled to have their export obligation removed from their investment licences had they complied with the supplemental conditions listed in the amending decree.
Družbe so tudi zatrjevale, da bi bile upravičene do umika svoje izvozne obveznosti iz svojih naložbenih dovoljenj, če bi ravnale v skladu z dodatnimi pogoji, navedenimi v spreminjajoči uredbi.
However, according to the applicable legislation, the investor first has to request from the investment licence issuing authority an amendment of its licence and, subsequently, the investment licence issuing authority shall amend the investment licence of the investor so that the investor can enjoy the repeal of the export obligation.
Vendar mora vlagatelj v skladu z ustrezno zakonodajo najprej od organa, ki izdaja naložbena dovoljenja, zahtevati spremembo v svojem dovoljenju in nato bo organ, ki izdaja naložbena dovoljenja, spremenil naložbeno dovoljenje vlagatelja, tako da se vlagatelju razveljavi izvozna obveznost.
The investment licence issuing authorities had not repealed the export obligation in the investment licences of any of the five companies at any time during the IP.
Organ, ki izdaja naložbena dovoljenja, ni v času med OP nobeni izmed petih družb razveljavil izvoznih obveznosti v naložbenih dovoljenjih.
Therefore, the companies also failed to demonstrate that they would have complied with the additional conditions.
Družbe torej prav tako niso uspele dokazati, da bi ravnale v skladu z dodatnimi pogoji.
The same companies also alleged that even if the export obligation were to be considered to be in force during the IP, the companies' decisions were, nevertheless, made in response to market signals.
Iste družbe so tudi zatrjevale, da so bile, četudi bi bila izvozna obveznost med OP v veljavi, odločitve družb izvedene kot odgovor na tržne signale.
However, not only was this export obligation in place during the IP but, moreover, this export obligation was included in the investment licences and in the articles of association of all five companies throughout the investigation period.
A ne samo, da je bila ta izvozna obveznost med OP v veljavi, ampak je bila ta izvozna obveznost celo vključena v naložbena dovoljenja in v statute družbe vseh petih družb v vsem preiskovalnem obdobju.
Consequently, it is concluded that the export obligation has to be considered as a significant State interference of such a nature as to effectively preventing the companies from making their decisions according to market signals.
Posledično je sklenjeno, da izvozna obveznost predstavlja večje vmešavanje države take narave, da učinkovito preprečuje družbam, da bi sprejemale svoje odločitve v skladu s tržnimi signali.
It was also concluded that the company, for which it was found that neither the investment licence nor its articles of association contained the said export obligation, was free to sell the product concerned both on the domestic and on the export market and was not subject to significant State interference.
Prav tako je bilo sklenjeno, da družba, za katero je bilo ugotovljeno, da ne njeno naložbeno dovoljenje ne njen statut družbe ne vsebujeta navedene izvozne obveznosti, lahko prosto prodaja zadevni izdelek na domačem in izvoznem trgu in da ni podvržena večjemu vmešavanju države.
Furthermore, it has to be mentioned that in the case of four companies of the five companies referred to in recital 34 above subject to the export obligation, it could not be concluded that they had one clear set of accounting records independently audited in line with international accounting standards and applied for all purposes.
Nadalje je treba opozoriti, da v primeru štirih od petih družb iz zgornje uvodne izjave (34), za katere velja izvozna obveznost, ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti, da imajo eno jasno neodvisno vodeno računovodsko evidenco v skladu z mednarodnimi računovodskimi standardi in jo uporabljajo v vse namene.
It was found that a non-transparent invoicing arrangement was in place with regard to the invoicing of the product concerned to the Community.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je v zvezi z izstavljanjem računov za zadevni izdelek v Skupnost veljala nepregledna ureditev o izstavljanju računov.
This arrangement involved intermediary companies in tax havens and other locations outside Vietnam and it did not allow an audit trail to be followed.
Ta ureditev je vključevala posredovalne družbe v „davčnem pristanu“ in na drugih lokacijah izven Vietnama in ni dopuščala sledenja revizijski poti.
As a result, the accounting records of the companies in Vietnam did not represent faithfully the underlying export sales transactions.
Zaradi tega računovodske evidence družb v Vietnamu niso točno prikazovale predloženega poslovanja izvoznih prodaj.
Consequently, after consulting the Advisory Committee, it was decided to grant MET to Always on the basis that the company met all the criteria set in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation and to reject the claims of Asama, Dragon, High Ride, Liyang and Sheng Fa since these companies did not meet all the above-mentioned criteria.
Posledično je bilo po posvetovanju s Svetovalnim odborom odločeno, da se OTG odobri družbi Always, saj je izpolnjevala vsa merila, določena v členu 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe, in zavrne zahtevke družb Asama, Dragon, High Ride, Liyang in Sheng Fa, saj te družbe niso izpolnjevale vseh zgoraj navedenih meril.
Individual treatment
Individualna obravnavava
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, a country-wide duty, if any, is established for countries falling under Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, except in those cases where companies are able to demonstrate that they meet all criteria set out in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation for individual treatment.
V skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe se za države, ki spadajo v okvir člena 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe, vzpostavi dajatev na ravni države, če sploh, razen v primerih, ko družbe lahko dokažejo, da izpolnjujejo vsa merila za individualno obravnavo, določeno v členu 9(5) osnovne uredbe.
The same PRC and Vietnamese exporting producers, which did not fulfil the MET criteria, as well as the company referred to in recital 29, alternatively, requested individual treatment (IT) in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.
Isti proizvajalci izvozniki iz LRK in Vietnama, ki niso izpolnjevali meril TGO, kot tudi družbe iz uvodne izjave (29) so kot drugo možnost zahtevali individualno obravnavo (IO) v skladu s členom 9(5) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission consequently verified whether the applicant companies enjoyed, both in fact and in law, the necessary degree of independence from the State for setting their export prices and determining their export quantities of the product concerned, in accordance with Article 9(5)(b) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je nato preverila, ali so imele družbe vlagateljice, dejansko in po zakonu, potrebno stopnjo neodvisnosti od države za določitev svojih izvoznih cen in izvoznih količin zadevnega izdelka v skladu s členom 9(5)(b) osnovne uredbe.
In this respect, it was established, that all PRC exporting producers were subject to significant State control with regard to determining their export prices and quantities of the product concerned as explained in recital 31 above.
V zvezi s tem je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bili vsi proizvajalci izvozniki LRK podvrženi nadzoru države glede določitve svojih izvoznih cen in količin zadevnega izdelka, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi (31) zgoraj.
It was, therefore, concluded that the Chinese exporting producers having applied for IT did not meet the necessary requirements for individual treatment as set out in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.
Zato je bilo ugotovljeno, da kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, ki so zaprosili za IO, niso izpolnjevali potrebnih zahtev za individualno obravnavo, kot jih določa člen 9(5) osnovne uredbe.
Regarding the Vietnamese companies, it was established that all the five companies were subject to significant State control with regard to setting their export quantities of the product concerned as explained in recitals 34 to 41 above.
V zvezi z vietnamskimi družbami je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bilo vseh pet družb podvrženih večjemu nadzoru države glede določitve svojih količin zadevnega izdelka, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah (34) do (41) zgoraj.
It was, therefore, concluded that none of the five companies met the necessary requirements for individual treatment.
Zato je bilo ugotovljeno, da nobena izmed petih družb ne izpolnjuje potrebnih zahtev za individualno obravnavo.
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, normal value for the exporting producers in the PRC and Vietnam not granted MET has to be established on the basis of the prices or constructed value of the analogue country.
V skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe se normalna vrednost za proizvajalce izvoznike v LRK in Vietnamu, ki jim tržno gospodarska obravnava ni bila odobrena, določi na podlagi cen ali konstruirane vrednosti primerljive države.
For this purpose, in the notices of initiation the Commission suggested Mexico, which was also the analogue country used in the previous investigation concerning the PRC.
V ta namen je Komisija v obvestilih o začetku predlagala Mehiko, ki je bila uporabljena kot primerljiva država tudi v predhodni preiskavi v zvezi z LRK.
All interested parties were given the opportunity to comment on the choice of analogue country envisaged.
Vse zainteresirane stranke so imele možnost dati pripombe na izbiro predvidene primerljive države.
Comments were received from the cooperating exporting producers suggesting Taiwan or India as being a more suitable analogue country than Mexico.
Prejete so bile pripombe s strani sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki so predlagali Tajvan ali Indijo kot bolj primerni primerljivi državi, kot je Mehika.
Certain exporting producers argued that, since this country had been used in the original investigation, Taiwan is a more appropriate analogue country to be used.
Nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da je Tajvan bolj primerna primerljiva država, ker je bila Mehika uporabljena v prvotni preiskavi.
They further argued that Taiwan is one of the largest producers of bicycles in the world and has a developed domestic market where many domestic producers actively compete.
Prav tako so trdili, da je Tajvan eden izmed največjih proizvajalcev koles na svetu in da ima razvit domači trg, kjer si mnogi domači proizvajalci aktivno konkurirajo.
Moreover, there are no restrictions on imports of bicycles or parts into Taiwan.
Poleg tega ni nobenih omejitev na uvoz koles ali delov v Tajvan.
In addition, many Chinese and Vietnamese manufacturers are owned by Taiwanese companies and therefore both the production processes and the final products are very similar to those of the Chinese and Vietnamese producers.
Nadalje so mnogi proizvajalci v LRK in Vietnamu v lasti tajvanskih družb in zato so proizvodni postopki in končni izdelki zelo podobni tistim, ki jih izdelujejo proizvajalci LRK in vietnamski proizvajalci.
It was also submitted that several Taiwanese companies were willing to cooperate with the Commission for this purpose.
Prav tako je bilo predloženo, da je več tajvanskih družb v ta namen pripravljenih sodelovati s Komisijo.
In respect of the above arguments, it should be firstly noted that Taiwan is indeed the third largest producer of bicycles in the world but the industry is heavily export oriented, typically exporting about 90 % of its output.
Glede na zgornje argumente je treba najprej opozoriti, da je Tajvan res tretji največji proizvajalec koles na svetu, vendar je industrija zelo izvozno naravnana, navadno izvaža okrog 90 % svoje proizvodnje.
On the other hand, its domestic market is relatively small and rather stable estimated at about 700000 to 800000 units, whereas the Mexican domestic market is estimated at about 2,3 million units, i.e. three fold the Taiwanese market.
Na drugi strani pa je njegov domači trg razmeroma majhen in precej stabilen, ocenjen na približno 700000–800000 enot, medtem ko je mehiški domači trg ocenjen na približno 2,3 milijona enot, tj. trikratni tajvanski trg.
Moreover, the Taiwanese market is largely supplied by Chinese exporters.
Poleg tega tajvanski trg v veliki meri oskrbujejo kitajski izvozniki.
In comparison, Taiwan imported in 2003 some 470000 bicycles from the PRC, representing thus more than half of its market size.
Za primerjavo, Tajvan je v 2003 uvozil okrog 470000 koles iz LRK, kar predstavlja več kot polovico njegovega trga.
In this respect, it should be noted that the imports of bicycles into Taiwan were quasi nil before the year 2001.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da pred letom 2001 skoraj ni bilo uvoza koles v Tajvan.
Therefore, whereas before 2001, the Taiwanese market was principally, if not, exclusively supplied by local producers, nowadays the PRC bicycles prevail in this market more and more over the local producers whose market share decreases dramatically.
Medtem ko so torej pred letom 2001 tajvanski trg v glavnem, če ne izključno, oskrbovali lokalni proizvajalci, sedaj na tem trgu vse bolj prevladujejo kolesa iz LRK nad lokalnimi proizvajalci, katerih delež se bliskovito manjša.
Consequently, the domestic market is highly influenced by import prices of PRC bicycles, which are subject of the current investigation.
Posledično na domači trg močno vplivajo uvozne cene koles iz LRK, ki so predmet sedanje preiskave.
Nevertheless, questionnaires were sent to all known Taiwanese producers.
Vprašalniki so bili kljub temu poslani vsem znanim tajvanskim proizvajalcem.
Certain companies replied that they would be willing to cooperate but they had no domestic sales, as they exported all their production.
Nekatere družbe so odgovorile, da bi bile pripravljene sodelovati, vendar da nimajo domače prodaje, saj vso svojo proizvodnjo izvozijo.
Two companies replied to the questionnaire.
Dve družbi sta odgovorili na vprašalnik.
However, one of them failed to provide a meaningful questionnaire response and was considered to be non-cooperating.
Vendar ena od teh ni poslala smiselnih odgovorov na vprašalnik in je bila obravnavana kot nesodelujoča.
The other company fully cooperated but it was questionable whether the low volume of its domestic sales could be considered as sufficiently representative in relation to the Taiwanese market, the total Chinese exports to the Community and the total Vietnamese exports to the Community.
Druga družba je sodelovala v celoti, vendar je bilo vprašljivo, ali je majhen obseg njene domače prodaje možno obravnavati kot dovolj reprezentativen v zvezi s tajskim trgom, celotnim kitajskim izvozom v Skupnost in celotnim vietnamskim izvozom v Skupnost.
Moreover, given the market conditions prevailing in the Taiwanese market explained in recital 54, that single company's sales could not be considered as an appropriate basis for the purpose of establishing a normal value.
Poleg tega, glede na prevladujoče tržne pogoje na tajvanskem trgu, pojasnjene v uvodni izjavi (54), prodaja ene same družbe ne more biti obravnavana kot ustrezna podlaga za namene določanja normalne vrednosti.
One Chinese exporting producer suggested alternatively India as an analogue country.
En kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik je za primerljivo državo predlagal Indijo.
It argued that the labour costs in India are similar to those in the PRC.
Trdil je, da so stroški dela podobni tistim v LRK.
In this respect, it should be noted that India was found to be an inappropriate choice because any comparison between the bicycles sold in India (rustic bicycles sold to retailers in kit form) and those exported by Chinese manufacturers to the Community would be very difficult and in any event would require multiple adjustments.
V tej zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je za Indijo bilo ugotovljeno, da je neprimerna izbira, ker bi bilo težko primerjati kolesa, ki jih prodajajo v Indiji (preprosta kolesa, prodana v delih trgovcem na drobno), in tista, ki jih izvažajo kitajski proizvajalci v Skupnost, in bi v vsakem primeru potrebovali veliko prilagoditev.
Therefore, and in view of the existence of a more appropriate analogue country, i.e. Mexico, India was not considered a suitable analogue country.
Zato in spričo obstoja primernejše primerljive države, tj. Mehike, Indija ni bila obravnava kot ustrezna primerljiva država.
Following disclosure, a Vietnamese exporting producer submitted that the Commission failed to provide any reasonable justification, supported by evidence, as to why India could not be used as an analogue country.
Na podlagi razkritja je vietnamski proizvajalec izvoznik predložil, da Komisija ni priskrbela sprejemljive obrazložitve, podprte z dokazi, zakaj Indije ne bi mogli uporabiti za primerljivo državo.
It argued that the Commission had not sent any questionnaires to the producers in India, whereas this country exports large amounts of good quality bicycles to the Community, which are like products, in spite of the Commission's findings that they are ‘rustic bicycles sold to retailers in kit form’.
Trdil je, da Komisija proizvajalcem v Indiji ni poslala vprašalnikov, čeprav ta država izvozi v Skupnost velike količine koles dobre kakovosti, ki so podobni izdelki, kljub ugotovitvam Komisije, da gre za „preprosta kolesa, prodana v delih trgovcem na drobno“.
In this respect, it should be firstly noted that, shortly after the initiation of the proceeding, only one exporting producer in the PRC suggested India as an analogue country but this claim was not sufficiently substantiated, as the only argument submitted was the similar labour costs in the PRC and in India.
S tem v zvezi je najprej treba opozoriti, da je kmalu po začetku postopka samo en proizvajalec izvoznik v LRK predlagal Indijo za primerljivo državo, vendar ta zahtevek ni bil dovolj utemeljen in edini predloženi argument so bili podobni stroški dela v LRK in Indiji.
Furthermore, the Indian exports of bicycles to the Community are not a relevant factor in determining the suitability of India as an analogue country.
Nadalje, indijski izvoz koles v Skupnost ni relevanten dejavnik za določanje ustreznosti Indije kot primerljive države.
It is not disputed that the bicycles sold on the Indian domestic market are like products to those exported into the Community by the countries concerned.
Ni dvoma o tem, da so kolesa, ki se prodajajo na domačem indijskem trgu, podobni izdelki, kot tisti, ki jih zadevne države izvažajo v Skupnost.
However, the available information indicated that the types of bicycles sold on the Indian domestic market would require multiple adjustments, which would thus make any comparison unreliable.
Vendar pa so razpoložljivi podatki pokazali, da bi tipi koles, ki se prodajajo na domačem indijskem trgu, potrebovali več prilagoditev, kar bi torej onemogočilo verodostojno primerjavo.
In view of this, and in the absence of other more substantiated information, the option of India was not further examined since data concerning a more appropriate analogue country, i.e. Mexico, was available.
Glede na povedano in v odsotnosti bolj utemeljenih podatkov se možnosti Indije ni nadalje preučevalo, ker so bili na razpolago podatki o bolj primerni primerljivi državi, tj. o Mehiki.
On this basis, the above argument was rejected.
Na tej podlagi je bil zgornji argument zavrnjen.
Questionnaires were sent to all known Mexican producers.
Vprašalniki so bili poslani vsem znanim mehiškim proizvajalcem.
Two companies fully cooperated by replying to the questionnaire and accepting a verification of their response at their premises.
Dve družbi sta v celoti sodelovali z odgovori na vprašalnik in s sprejetjem preverjanja njunih odgovorov v njunih prostorih.
These two producers had domestic sales representing about one third of the Mexican market, estimated at about 2,3 million units.
Domača prodaja teh dveh proizvajalcev je predstavljala približno eno tretjino mehiškega trga, ocenjenega na približno 2,3 milijona enot.
A large number of producers and some 20 major importers were found to operate in a competitive environment.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da veliko število proizvajalcev in približno dvajset pomembnih izvoznikov deluje v konkurenčnem okolju.
The imports of bicycles in 2003 were originating principally in Taiwan (more than 50 %), Uruguay (20 %), United States and South Korea.
Kolesa so v letu 2003 uvažali zlasti iz Tajvana (več kot 50 %), Urugvaja (20 %), Združenih držav in Južne Koreje.
These imports represented some 5 % of the domestic market.
Ta uvoz je predstavljal približno 5 % domačega trga.
To this percentage, should be added the bicycles sold on the domestic market by importers assembling bicycle parts.
Temu odstotku je treba dodati kolesa, prodana na domačem trgu s strani uvoznikov, ki sestavljajo dele za kolesa.
In this respect, it should be noted that in 2003, some 465000 bicycle parts with a value of EUR 79 million were imported into Mexico, out of which one third in value was imported by twelve major importers/assemblers (source: annual report of ANAFABI, the Mexican association of bicycle manufacturers).
V tej zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je bilo v letu 2003 v Mehiko uvoženih približno 465000 delov za kolesa v vrednosti 79 milijonov EUR, katerih tretjino po vrednosti je uvozilo dvanajst pomembnejših uvoznikov/sestavljavcev (vir: letno poročilo ANAFABI-ja, mehiškega združenja proizvajalcev koles).
On the other hand, the exports of bicycles from Mexico represented in 2003 about 60 % in value of the imports into Mexico (source: official Mexican statistics), i.e. estimated to represent around 50 to 70 thousand units.
Na drugi strani je v letu 2003 uvoz koles iz Mehike predstavljal približno 60 % vrednosti uvoza v Mehiko (vir: uradna mehiška statistika), tj., po oceni je predstavljal približno 50 do 70 tisoč enot.
Therefore, it seems that a major part of the imported bicycle parts has been used either for the after sales (repair) market or for assembling and selling bicycles on the domestic market.
Zato izgleda, kot da je bil velik del uvoženih delov za kolesa uporabljen za ponovno prodajo (popravila) ali za sestavo in prodajo koles na domačem trgu.
Certain exporting producers submitted that there are import registration procedures in Mexico which are cumbersome and increase the costs of goods imported into that country.
Nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki so predložili, da so nekateri postopki registracije uvoza v Mehiki oviralni in zvišujejo stroške v to državo uvoženega blaga.
They also argued that this registration system causes market distortions in the Mexican bicycle sector.
Trdili so tudi, da ta sistem registracije povzroča izkrivljanja trga v mehiškem sektorju koles.
