imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain plastic sacks and bags originating in the People’s Republic of China and Thailand, and terminating the proceeding on imports of certain plastic sacks and bags originating in Malaysia
o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz nekaterih vreč in vrečk iz plastičnih mas s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Tajske ter o zaključku postopka glede uvoza nekaterih vreč in vrečk iz plastičnih mas s poreklom iz Malezije
On 30 June 2005, pursuant to Article 5 of the basic Regulation, the Commission announced, by a notice (notice of initiation) published in the Official Journal of the European Union [2], the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding with regard to imports into the Community of certain plastic sacks and bags originating in the People’s Republic of China (the PRC), Malaysia and Thailand (the countries concerned).
Komisija je 30. junija 2005 v skladu s členom 5 osnovne uredbe v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [2] objavila obvestilo („obvestilo o začetku“) o začetku protidampinškega postopka v zvezi z uvozom nekaterih vreč in vrečk iz plastičnih mas s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske („LRK“), Malezije in Tajske („zadevne države“) v Skupnost.
The proceeding was initiated as a result of a complaint lodged on 17 May 2005 by 29 Community producers of plastic sacks and bags, representing a major proportion (in this case more than 25 %) of the total Community production of plastic sacks and bags.
Postopek se je začel zaradi pritožbe, ki jo je 17. maja 2005 vložilo 29 proizvajalcev vreč in vrečk iz plastičnih mas Skupnosti, ki predstavljajo večji delež (v tem primeru več kot 25 %) celotne proizvodnje vreč in vrečk iz plastičnih mas v Skupnosti.
The complaint contained evidence of dumping of the said product and of material injury resulting therefrom, which was considered sufficient to justify the initiation of a proceeding.
Pritožba je vsebovala dokaze o dampingu zadevnega izdelka in znatni škodi, ki je nastala zaradi tega, kar je zadostovalo za začetek postopka.
The Commission officially advised the complainant Community producers, their association, other Community producers, the exporting producers, importers, suppliers and users as well as user associations known to be concerned and the representatives of the exporting countries of the initiation of the proceeding.
Komisija je o začetku postopka uradno obvestila proizvajalce Skupnosti pritožnike, njihovo združenje, druge proizvajalce Skupnosti, proizvajalce izvoznike, uvoznike, dobavitelje in uporabnike ter združenja uporabnikov, za katera je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter predstavnike držav izvoznic.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time-limit set in the notice of initiation.
Zainteresiranim strankam je bila dana možnost, da v roku, določenem v obvestilu o začetku, pisno izrazijo svoja stališča in zahtevajo zaslišanje.
Given the large number of known exporting producers in the PRC, Malaysia and Thailand, as well as the large number of known Community producers and importers, sampling for the determination of dumping and injury was envisaged in the notice of initiation, in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation (see below for further details regarding sampling).
Glede na veliko število znanih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK, Maleziji in na Tajskem ter veliko število znanih proizvajalcev in uvoznikov Skupnosti je bilo v obvestilu o začetku predvideno vzorčenje za ugotovitev dampinga in škode v skladu s členom 17 osnovne uredbe (glej spodaj za podrobnejše podatke o vzorčenju).
In order to allow exporting producers in the PRC to submit a claim for market economy treatment (MET) or individual treatment (IT), if they so wished, the Commission sent claim forms to the exporting producers known to be concerned and to the authorities of the PRC.
Da se je proizvajalcem izvoznikom v LRK omogočilo, da vložijo zahtevek za tržnogospodarsko obravnavo („TGO“) ali individualno obravnavo („IO“), če so tako želeli, je Komisija poslala obrazce zahtevkov proizvajalcem izvoznikom, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, in organom LRK.
Some 108 companies and groups requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.
V skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe je TGO zahtevalo 108 družb in skupin.
All the companies and groups above also claimed IT should the investigation have established that they did not meet the conditions for MET.
Vse zgoraj omenjene družbe in skupine so zahtevale tudi individualno obravnavo, če bi bilo v preiskavi ugotovljeno, da ne izpolnjujejo pogojev za TGO.
Three companies claimed IT only.
Tri družbe so zahtevale le IO.
The Commission sent questionnaires to all parties known to be concerned and to all other companies that made themselves known within the deadlines set out in the notice of initiation.
Komisija je poslala vprašalnike vsem strankam, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter vsem drugim družbam, ki so se javile v rokih, določenih v obvestilu o začetku.
In addition to questionnaire replies received from parties selected in the samples of exporters, importers and Community industry, replies to questionnaires were also received from two Community retailers.
Poleg izpolnjenih vprašalnikov, ki jih je prejela od izbranih strank v vzorcu izvoznikov, uvoznikov in industrije Skupnosti, je izpolnjene vprašalnike prejela tudi od dveh prodajalcev na drobno Skupnosti.
A number of parties also made their views known in writing.
Številne stranke so tudi pisno izrazile svoje stališče.
All parties who so requested within the set time-limit and indicated that there were particular reasons why they should be heard were granted a hearing.
Vse stranke, ki so v roku vložile ustrezno zahtevo in navedle, da imajo posebne razloge za zaslišanje, so bile zaslišane.
The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the preliminary determination of dumping, resulting injury and Community interest and carried out investigations at the premises of the following companies:
Komisija je pridobila in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za predhodno ugotovitev dampinga, z njim povzročene škode in interesa Skupnosti, ter opravila preiskave v prostorih naslednjih družb:

SAMPLING FOR EXPORTING PRODUCERS IN THE PRC, MALAYSIA AND THAILAND
VZORČENJE ZA PROIZVAJALCE IZVOZNIKE V LRK, MALEZIJI IN NA TAJSKEM
As stated above, in view of the large number of exporting producers in the PRC, Malaysia and Thailand, sampling was proposed in the notice of initiation, in accordance with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation.
Kot je bilo navedeno zgoraj, se je glede na veliko število proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK, Maleziji in na Tajskem v obvestilu o začetku predlagalo vzorčenje v skladu s členom 17(1) osnovne uredbe.
In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling would be necessary and, if so, to select a sample, exporting producers were requested to make themselves known within 15 days from the date of the initiation of the investigation and to provide basic information on their export and domestic sales, and the names and activities of all their related companies involved in the production and/or selling of the said product.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je potrebno vzorčenje, in da bi v tem primeru lahko izbrala vzorec, je vse proizvajalce uvoznike zaprosila, da se javijo v 15 dneh od začetka preiskave in zagotovijo osnovne informacije o svojem izvozu in domači prodaji ter imena in dejavnosti vseh njihovih povezanih družb, vključenih v proizvodnjo in/ali prodajo zadevnega izdelka.
The authorities in the PRC, Malaysia and Thailand were also consulted.
Posvetovala se je tudi z organi v LRK, Maleziji in na Tajskem.
Some 108 companies and groups in the PRC, 36 companies from Malaysia and 17 from Thailand came forward and provided the requested information within the given deadline.
108 družb in skupin v LRK, 36 družb iz Malezije in 17 iz Tajske se je javilo in poslalo zahtevane informacije v roku.
However, only 104 companies and groups from the PRC, 31 companies from Malaysia and 14 from Thailand reported exports to the Community during the investigation period.
Vendar pa so v obdobju preiskave izvoz v Skupnost prijavile samo 104 družbe in skupine iz LRK, 31 družb iz Malezije in 14 iz Tajske.
Those exporting producers that exported the said product to the Community during the investigation period and expressed a wish to participate in the sample were considered as cooperating companies and were taken into account in the selection of the samples.
Proizvajalci izvozniki, ki so v obdobju preiskave izvažali zadevni izdelek v Skupnost in so izrazili željo, da bi sodelovali v vzorcu, so se šteli za sodelujoče družbe in so bili upoštevani pri izbiri vzorcev.
The cooperating exporting producers represented around 95 % of total exports of the product concerned from the PRC to the Community and 96 % of Malaysia’s and 88 % of Thailand’s total exports.
Sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki so predstavljali približno 95 % celotnega izvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK v Skupnost, 96 % celotnega malezijskega izvoza in 88 % celotnega tajskega izvoza.
The remaining companies were either traders or exporting producers without exports to the Community during the investigation period.
Preostale družbe so bile trgovci ali proizvajalci izvozniki brez izvoza v Skupnost v obdobju preiskave.
Therefore, a dumping margin will not be determined for these companies.
Zato se stopnja dampinga za te družbe ne bo določila.
Exporting producers which did not make themselves known within the aforesaid period were considered as not cooperating with the investigation.
Za proizvajalce izvoznike, ki se niso javili v zgoraj navedenem roku, se je štelo, da ne sodelujejo v preiskavi.
According to Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation, the following criteria were taken into account in the selection of the sample: size of exporting producer with regard to export sales to the Community as well as size of exporting producer with regard to domestic sales.
V skladu s členom 17(1) osnovne uredbe sta se pri izbiri vzorca upoštevali naslednji merili: velikost proizvajalca izvoznika glede na izvoz v Skupnost in velikost proizvajalca izvoznika glede na domačo prodajo.
It was considered that, for the reasons set out below, the sample should include a sufficient number of companies selling on the domestic market.
Ocenjeno je bilo, da mora vzorec zaradi razlogov, navedenih spodaj, vključevati dovolj družb, ki prodajajo na notranjem trgu.
Therefore, a number of major exporting companies having representative domestic sales were included in the sample.
Zato so bile v vzorec vključene številne glavne družbe izvoznice, ki so imele reprezentativno domačo prodajo.
On this basis, the Commission originally selected samples of 10 Chinese exporting producers, six Malaysian exporting producers and six Thai exporting producers.
Na tej podlagi je Komisija prvotno izbrala vzorce desetih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, šest malezijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov in šest tajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
The selected companies represented around 52 %, 62 % and 71 % of the exports of the said product to the Community from the PRC, Malaysia and Thailand respectively.
Izbrane družbe so predstavljale približno 52 %, 62 % oziroma 71 % izvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK, Malezije oziroma Tajske v Skupnost.
In accordance with Article 17(2) of the basic Regulation, the cooperating exporting producers and the authorities of the countries concerned were given the opportunity to comment on the selection of the sample.
V skladu s členom 17(2) osnovne uredbe je bila sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom in organom zadevnih držav dana možnost, da izrazijo pripombe o izbiri vzorca.
A number of Chinese exporters argued that they should have been included in the sample, because of particular circumstances regarding their companies such as: product types, business model, cost structure, or affiliation with Hong Kong or EU-based groups.
Številni kitajski izvozniki so trdili, da bi morali biti vključeni v vzorec zaradi posebnih okoliščin v zvezi s svojimi družbami, kot so: vrste izdelkov, poslovni vzorec, stroškovna struktura ali povezanost s skupinami v Hongkongu ali EU.
However, it would have been impractical, and not required by the basic Regulation, to aim for a sample reflecting all the above factors, given the amount of information and the time available for the sample selection.
Vendar pa glede na količino informacij in časa, ki je na voljo za izbiro vzorca, ne bi bilo praktično, pa tudi osnovna uredba tega ne zahteva, prizadevati si za vzorec, ki bi odražal vse zgornje dejavnike.
Moreover, the basic Regulation allows limiting the investigation to the largest representative volume of exports which can reasonably be investigated within the time available.
Poleg tega osnovna uredba dovoljuje, da se preiskava omeji na največji reprezentativni obseg izvoza, ki ga je mogoče dovolj dobro preiskati v času, ki je na razpolago.
One Chinese exporter argued that the Commission should, according to the Anti-Dumping Agreement (ADA) of the WTO, have simply selected the exporters with the largest volume of export sales to the Community, without having regard to the volume of domestic sales.
En kitajski izvoznik je trdil, da bi morala Komisija v skladu s Protidampinškim sporazumom STO preprosto izbrati izvoznike z največjim obsegom izvoza v Skupnost, ne da bi upoštevala obseg domače prodaje.
Article 6.10 ADA provides, inter alia, that a sample of exporters can be chosen based on ‘the largest percentage of the volume of the exports from the country in question which can reasonably be investigated’.
Člen 6.10 Protidampinškega sporazuma med drugim določa, da se lahko vzorec izvoznikov izbere na podlagi „uporabe najvišjega odstotka obsega izvoza iz določene države, ki ga je možno na razumen način preiskovati“.
This interpretation of Article 6.10 ADA has to be rejected.
To razlago člena 6.10 Protidampinškega sporazuma je treba zavrniti.
First, there is nothing in the wording of Article 6.10 ADA that precludes that exporters with representative domestic sales are also included in the sample.
Prvič, nič v besedilu člena 6.10 Protidampinškega sporazuma ne izključuje, da bi se v vzorec vključili tudi izvozniki z reprezentativno domačo prodajo.
Second, the purpose of selecting a sample of exporting producers is to collect the highest possible representative data on the basis of which a dumping margin could be calculated.
Drugič, namen izbire vzorca proizvajalcev izvoznikov je zbrati največje možne reprezentativne podatke, na podlagi katerih se bo lahko izračunala stopnja dampinga.
In this respect, it is essential that companies with domestic sales of the product concerned are included in the sample in order to be able to determine normal value and SG&A and profit according to Articles 2(1) to (6) of the basic Regulation.
V zvezi s tem je bistveno, da se družbe z domačo prodajo zadevnega izdelka vključijo v vzorec, da se lahko določijo normalna vrednost, PSA-stroški ter dobiček v skladu s členom 2(1) do (6) osnovne uredbe.
For companies found to fulfil the MET criteria, establishing normal value without sufficient information on such SG&A and profit would be problematic.
Za družbe, za katere je bilo ugotovljeno, da izpolnjujejo merila za TGO, bi bila določitev normalne vrednosti brez zadostnih informacij o takšnih PSA-stroških ter dobičku problematična.
The largest volume of exports that can reasonably be investigated should thus also include at least a sufficient number of companies with domestic sales in the IP.
Največji obseg izvoza, ki se lahko ustrezno preišče, bi torej moral prav tako vključevati najmanj zadostno število družb z domačo prodajo v OP.
As a consequence, only the major exporting companies which also represented a major part of the domestic sales have been selected in accordance with Article 6.10 ADA and Article 17 of the basic Regulation.
Posledično so bile v skladu s členom 6.10 Protidampinškega sporazuma in člena 17 osnovne uredbe izbrane samo večje družbe izvoznice, ki so prav tako predstavljale velik del domače prodaje.
During the investigation, it was found that Wuxi Jiayihe Packaging Co., Ltd and Wuxi Bestpac Packaging Co., Ltd had in error declared large amounts of exports to the EC of the said product that they themselves had not produced, but had in fact processed for other exporting producers.
Med preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da sta družbi Wuxi Jiayihe Packaging Co., Ltd in Wuxi Bestpac Packaging Co., Ltd napačno prijavili velike količine izvoza zadevnega izdelka v ES, ki ga nista izdelali sami, ampak sta ga v bistvu predelali za druge proizvajalce izvoznike.
Given the small amount of their actual sales of own-produced said product, the company was removed from the Chinese sample.
Glede na majhno količino njune dejanske prodaje zadevnega izdelka iz lastne proizvodnje se je družba umaknila iz kitajskega vzorca.
However given that the company had already been inspected, it will in effect receive individual examination.
Vendar pa bo glede na to, da je družba že bila preiskana, pravzaprav deležna individualne preiskave.
The Malaysian Plastic Manufacturers Association pointed out that one of the companies not selected in the sample had failed to report its local sales of plastic bags of a related company, and should have been selected for the sample.
Malezijsko združenje proizvajalcev plastičnih mas je opozorilo, da ena od družb, ki niso bile izbrane v vzorcu, ni prijavila svoje domače prodaje vrečk iz plastičnih mas povezane družbe ter da bi morala biti izbrana v vzorec.
As the information about this reporting mistake was received in a timely manner, the Commission agreed to include that company in the sample, replacing one of the companies previously selected which had a smaller volume of export sales.
Ker je bila ta informacija o tej napaki prijave prejeta pravočasno, se je Komisija strinjala, da družbo vključi v vzorec in zamenja eno od prej izbranih družb, ki je imela manjši obseg izvoza.
Questionnaires were sent for completion to the 22 originally sampled companies and replies from all of them were received within the given deadlines, with the exception of one Thai company which had been selected for the sample but ceased cooperation afterwards.
22 družbam, ki so bile na začetku izbrane za vzorčenje, so bili poslani vprašalniki, vse družbe so izpolnjene vprašalnike poslale v predvidenih rokih, razen ene tajske družbe, ki je bila izbrana za vzorec, vendar je zatem prekinila sodelovanje.
In view of the large number of countries and parties involved and the time constraints, the Commission concluded that no individual examination of exporting producers, with a view to the application of Articles 9(6) and 17(3) of the basic Regulation, could be granted because this would be unduly burdensome and would prevent completion of the investigation in good time.
Glede na veliko število držav in udeleženih strank ter časovnih omejitev je Komisija sklenila, da proizvajalcem izvoznikom ne more odobriti individualne preiskave zaradi uporabe členov 9(6) in 17(3) osnovne uredbe, ker bi bilo to preveč obremenilno in bi onemogočilo pravočasen zaključek preiskave.
Accordingly, the Commission informed all cooperating exporting producers that it did not intend to grant individual examinations if requested.
Zato je Komisija obvestila vse sodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike, da ne namerava odobriti individualnih preiskav, če bi bile zahtevane.
Moreover, no such requests were received by the 40-day deadline stipulated in the notice of initiation.
Poleg tega v 40-dnevnem roku, določenem v obvestilu o začetku, ni prejela nobene take zahteve.
It should be noted that one company in China not sampled, but cooperating with the investigation, submitted a request for change of name from Jiangmen Xiefeng Plastic Co., Ltd to Jiangmen Toptype Plastic Products Co., Ltd. Evidence was submitted that this was a change of name of the same legal entity and therefore no change was made otherwise to the company’s status, structure or ownership.
Treba je opozoriti, da je ena družba na Kitajskem, ki ni bila vključena v vzorec, vendar je sodelovala v preiskavi, vložila zahtevek za spremembo imena iz Jiangmen Xiefeng Plastic Co., Ltd. v Jiangmen Toptype Plastic Products Co., Ltd. Predložen je bil dokaz, da je šlo za spremembo imena istega pravnega subjekta in da ni bilo nobene druge spremembe v statusu, zgradbi ali lastništvu družbe.
As such the name of the company was amended to the new name in the Annex to this Regulation.
Tako se je v Prilogi k tej uredbi ime družbe popravilo v novo ime.
SAMPLING OF COMMUNITY PRODUCERS
VZORČENJE PROIZVAJALCEV SKUPNOSTI
In view of the large number of Community producers, sampling was proposed in the notice of initiation in accordance with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation.
Glede na veliko število proizvajalcev Skupnosti se je v obvestilu o začetku predlagalo vzorčenje v skladu s členom 17(1) osnovne uredbe.
For this purpose, the Commission requested Community producers to provide information concerning production and sales of the like product.
V ta namen je Komisija zaprosila proizvajalce Skupnosti, da zagotovijo informacije o proizvodnji in prodaji podobnega izdelka.
Thirty-four Community producers came forward and provided the information requested in the notice of initiation.
Javilo se je 34 proizvajalcev Skupnosti in poslalo informacije, zahtevane v obvestilu o začetku.
A total of five companies (three in France and two in Spain) were selected for the sample as they represented the largest representative volume of production in the Community (around 18 %), which could be reasonably investigated within the time available.
Za vzorec je bilo izbranih pet družb (tri v Franciji in dve v Španiji), ker so predstavljale največji reprezentativni obseg proizvodnje v Skupnosti (okoli 18 %), ki bi ga bilo mogoče razumno preiskati v razpoložljivem času.
