In addition, questionnaires were sent to all the producers in the United States of America (USA), Australia and India (potential analogue countries), which were known to the Commission’s services.
Poleg tega so bili vprašalniki poslani vsem proizvajalcem v Združenih državah Amerike („ZDA“), Avstraliji in Indiji (morebitne primerljive države), ki so bili znani službam Komisije.
Replies to the questionnaire were received from the four applicant Community producers and one producer in the analogue country, namely the USA.
Odgovore na vprašalnik so poslali štirje proizvajalci pritožniki Skupnosti in en proizvajalec iz primerljive države, in sicer iz ZDA.
The Commission’s services sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for the purpose of the determination of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury and for the determination of the Community interest.
Službe Komisije so poiskale in preverile vse podatke, ki so jih štele za potrebne za ugotavljanje verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovnega pojava dampinga in škode ter za ugotavljanje interesa Skupnosti.

The investigation regarding the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 April 2003 to 31 March 2004 (the IP).
Preiskava v zvezi z verjetnostjo nadaljevanja ali ponovne pojavitve dampinga in škode je zajela obdobje od 1. aprila 2003 do 31. marca 2004 („OP“).
The examination of the trends relevant for the assessment of a likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of injury covered the period from 1 January 2000 up to the end of the IP (the period considered).
Preučitev trendov, ki zadevajo oceno verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovne pojavitve škode, je zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2000 do konca OP („obravnavano obdobje“).
The product concerned is the same as that in the previous investigations which led to the imposition of measures currently in force, i.e. magnesium oxide, namely natural caustic calcined magnesite, falling within CN code ex25199090 (Taric code 25199090*10).
Zadevni izdelek je isti kot tisti v predhodnih preiskavah, ki so pripeljale do uvedbe sedaj veljavnih ukrepov, tj. magnezijev oksid oz. naravni kavstični nežgani magnezit iz oznake KN ex25199090 (oznaka TARIC 25199090*10).
Magnesium oxide is processed from naturally occurring magnesium carbonate or magnesite.
Magnezijev oksid se pridobiva iz naravnega magnezijevega karbonata ali magnezita.
In order to produce magnesium oxide, magnesite has to be mined, crushed, sorted and then burned in a kiln at temperatures of 700 to 1000 °C.
Za proizvodnjo magnezijevega oksida je treba magnezit izkopati, zdrobiti, sortirati in nato žgati v peči pri temperaturi od 700 do 1000 °C.
The result is magnesium oxide with various magnesium oxide contents or grades.
Tako se pridobi magnezijev oksid z različno vsebnostjo ali stopnjo magnezijevega oksida.
The main impurities in magnesium oxide are SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3, CaO and B2O3 (silicon oxide, iron oxide, aluminium oxide, calcium oxide and boron oxide respectively).
Glavne nečistoče v magnezijevem oksidu so SiO2, Fe2O3, Al2O3, CaO in B2O3 (silicijev oksid, železov oksid, aluminijev oksid, kalcijev oksid in borov oksid).
Magnesium oxide is mainly used in agriculture for animal feeding or as a fertiliser and for industrial applications in the construction industry for flooring and insulating boards as well as in the pulp, paper, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, flame retardants, abrasives producing industries and environmental protection.
Magnezijev oksid se v glavnem uporablja v kmetijstvu za hranjenje živali ali kot gnojilo ter v gradbeni industriji za tlake in izolacijske plošče, prav tako pa tudi v celulozni kaši, papirju, kemikalijah, farmacevtskih izdelkih, zaščitnih sredstvih proti ognju, abrazivnih sredstvih ter pri okoljski zaščiti.
As established in the previous investigations, this review investigation has confirmed that the products exported by the PRC and those manufactured and sold by the Community producers on the Community market and by the producer in the analogue country on the domestic market of the analogue country have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and end uses and are therefore considered to be like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Kot je bilo ugotovljeno v predhodnih preiskavah, je tudi ta preiskava v zvezi s pregledom potrdila, da imajo izdelki, ki jih izvaža LRK, in tisti, ki jih proizvajajo in prodajajo proizvajalci Skupnosti na trgu Skupnosti ter proizvajalec v primerljivi državi na svojem domačem trgu, enake osnovne fizične in kemične lastnosti ter končno uporabo, zato se v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe štejejo za podobne izdelke.
LIKELIHOOD OF A CONTINUATION OF DUMPING
VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA DAMPINGA
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the expiry of the measures would be likely to lead to a continuation of dumping.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo preverjeno, ali bi prenehanje ukrepov lahko privedlo do nadaljnjega dampinga.
Preliminary remarks
Predhodne pripombe
In the absence of cooperation either from any of the Chinese exporting producers or from any importer in the Community, this examination had to be based on information available to the Commission’s services from other sources.
Zaradi nesodelovanja katerega koli kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika ali katerega koli uvoznika v Skupnosti mora ta preiskava temeljiti na podatkih, ki so službam Komisije na voljo iz drugih virov.
In this respect and in accordance with the provisions of Article 18 of the basic Regulation, Eurostat data with 8-digit CN code and 10-digit Taric code, checked with other sources, were used.
V zvezi s tem in v skladu z določbami člena 18 osnovne uredbe so bili uporabljeni Eurostatovi podatki z osemmestnimi oznakami KN in desetmestnimi oznakami TARIC, preverjenimi pri drugih virih.
It is noted that the relevant Eurostat data with 8-digit CN code includes other products than the product concerned, while the data for the period considered with 10-digit Taric code did not include the 10 acceding countries.
Treba je opozoriti, da ustrezni podatki Eurostata z osemmestno oznako KN vključujejo poleg zadevnega še druge izdelke, medtem ko podatki z desetmestno oznako TARIC za obravnavano obdobje niso vključevali desetih pristopnih držav.
Therefore, Eurostat data with 10-digit Taric code was used for the 15 Member States which composed the European Union before enlargement, while Eurostat data with 8-digit CN code was used for the 10 new Member States.
Zato so bili podatki Eurostata z desetmestnimi oznakami TARIC uporabljeni za petnajst držav članic, ki so Evropsko unijo sestavljale pred širitvijo, podatki z osemmestnimi oznakami KN pa za deset novih držav članic.
In addition, Eurostat data with 8-digit CN code used for the ten new Member Sates was adjusted by deducting the percentage difference existing between the data with 8-digit CN code and 10-digit Taric code reported by the 10 new Member States in the six month period after enlargement in order to exclude products other than the product concerned.
Da bi se izločili vsi izdelki razen zadevnega, so bili Eurostatovi podatki z osemmestnimi oznakami KN, uporabljenimi za deset novih držav članic, prilagojeni tako, da se je odštela odstotkovna razlika med podatki z osemmestno oznako KN in desetmestno oznako TARIC, ki jo je deset novih držav članic sporočilo v šestmesečnem obdobju po širitvi.
Based on the adjusted Taric data, it was found that during the IP 115225 tonnes of magnesium oxide were imported from the PRC into the Community, i.e. approximately 29 % of the Community consumption.
Na podlagi prilagojenih podatkov TARIC je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bilo v OP iz LRK v Skupnost uvoženih 115225 ton magnezijevega oksida, kar je približno 29 % porabe Skupnosti.
During the IP of the previous expiry review, the import volume of Chinese magnesium oxide into the Community amounted to 110592 tonnes, i.e. approximately 31 % of Community consumption.
V OP predhodnega pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepov je bilo v Skupnost uvoženega 110592 ton kitajskega magnezijevega oksida, kar je približno 31 % porabe Skupnosti.
It should be noted that, as the Community expanded to the 25 Member States, export volumes and export market shares of the previous and the current expiry reviews cannot be compared.
Poudariti je treba, da zaradi razširitve Skupnosti na petindvajset držav članic obsega izvoza in tržnih deležev izvoza predhodnih in sedanjih pregledov zaradi izteka ukrepov ni mogoče primerjati.
Dumping during the IP
Damping med OP
In accordance with Article 11(9) of the basic Regulation, the Commission’s services used the same methodology as in the original investigation.
V skladu s členom 11(9) osnovne uredbe so službe Komisije uporabile isto metodologijo kot v prvotni preiskavi.
It is recalled that in the original investigation, a dumping margin of 27,1 % was established.
Treba je spomniti, da je bila v prvotni preiskavi določena 27,1 % stopnja dampinga.
Since the PRC is an economy in transition, normal value had to be based on information obtained in an appropriate third-country market economy in accordance with Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.
Ker je gospodarstvo LRK v prehodnem obdobju, mora normalna vrednost v skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe temeljiti na podatkih, pridobljenih v ustreznem tržnem gospodarstvu tretje države.
Since in the previous expiry review India was selected as an analogue country for the purposes of establishing normal value, a request for cooperation was sent to Indian producers.
Ker je bila v predhodnem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepov Indija izbrana kot primerljiva država za določitev normalne vrednosti, je bila indijskim proizvajalcem poslana prošnja za sodelovanje.
Furthermore, a request for cooperation was also addressed to all known producers in Australia and the USA, which had been suggested as possible analogue countries in the request for the expiry review.
Prošnja za sodelovanje je bila poslana tudi vsem znanim proizvajalcem v Avstraliji in ZDA, ki sta bili kot možni primerljivi državi predlagani v zahtevku za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepov.
One Indian producer agreed to cooperate, but did not reply to the questionnaire.
En indijski proizvajalec se je odločil za sodelovanje, vendar ni odgovoril na vprašalnik.
One Australian producer replied but declared itself not to be in the position to assist the Commission’s services with the requested information.
En avstralski proizvajalec je nanj odgovoril, vendar izjavil, da službam Komisije ne želi pomagati v zvezi z želenimi podatki.
Only one USA producer agreed to provide the information requested.
Samo en proizvajalec iz ZDA je privolil v posredovanje želenih podatkov.
With respect to the USA, it was found that competition is sufficiently strong in the US market.
Glede na ZDA je bilo ugotovljeno, da je konkurenca na trgu ZD dovolj močna.
Indeed, there are no anti-dumping duties imposed on imports of magnesium oxide, considerable volumes of the product concerned are imported from different third countries and there are two competing local producers.
Namreč, na uvoz magnezijevega oksida ni nobenih protidampinških dajatev, večje količine zadevnega izdelka se uvažajo iz različnih tretjih držav, imajo pa tudi dva konkurenčna domača proizvajalca.
The production process of the cooperating USA producer is similar to that of the Chinese producers.
Proizvodni proces sodelujočega proizvajalca iz ZDA je podoben procesu kitajskih proizvajalcev.
The domestic sales of the USA producer represent a significant amount (around 83 %) of the total Community imports from the PRC during the IP.
Prodaja ameriškega proizvajalca na domačem trgu predstavlja bistven del (približno 83 %) skupnega uvoza Skupnosti iz LRK v OP.
It is therefore concluded that the USA constituted an appropriate analogue country for the purpose of establishing normal value.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da so ZDA primerna primerljiva država za določitev normalne vrednosti.
In accordance with Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation, it was considered whether domestic sales of the producer in the USA could, in view of the prices charged, be seen to be made in the ordinary course of trade.
V skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe se je obravnavalo, ali bi se prodaja ameriškega proizvajalca na domačem trgu, glede na njegove cene, štela kot normalno trgovanje.
For this purpose, the full cost of production per unit during the IP was compared to the average unit price of the sales transactions made during the same period.
V ta namen se je celotne proizvodne stroške na enoto v OP primerjalo s povprečno ceno enote med prodajnimi transakcijami v istem obdobju.
It was found that all sales were made at a profit.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je vsa prodaja prinesla dobiček.
The investigation also revealed that all sales of the cooperating producer in the USA were made to independent customers.
Preiskava je razkrila tudi, da je ameriški proizvajalec vse izdelke prodal neodvisnim strankam.
As a result, the prices paid or payable by independent customers on the USA domestic market in the ordinary course of trade were used to determine the normal value in accordance with Article 2(1) of the basic Regulation.
Zato so bile pri določitvi normalne vrednosti v skladu s členom 2(1) osnovne uredbe uporabljene cene, ki so jih neodvisne stranke na trgu ZDA plačale ali jih lahko plačajo med normalnim trgovanjem.
As already mentioned, in the absence of any other more reliable information, the export price was based on the Eurostat data.
Kot je že bilo omenjeno, je bila izvozna cena zaradi odsotnosti zanesljivejših podatkov, določena na podlagi podatkov Eurostata.
It was found that data on prices in Eurostat are recorded on a CIF European Community frontier basis.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da Eurostat podatke o cenah beleži na podlagi CIF franko meja Skupnosti.
These prices were brought to a FOB basis by deducting ocean freight and insurance cost.
Te cene so bile vnesene v bazo FOB tako, da so bili odšteti stroški za pomorski prevoz in zavarovanje.
The necessary information on these costs has been submitted by the Community industry and used in the calculations, in the absence of any other more reliable information.
Potrebne podatke o teh stroških, ki so bili uporabljeni v izračunih, je predložila industrija Skupnosti. Drugi, zanesljivejši podatki, pri tem niso bili uporabljeni.
For the purposes of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price at an ex-works level, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences that were claimed and demonstrated to affect prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Zaradi zagotavljanja poštene primerjave med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno franko tovarna so se v obliki popravkov upoštevale razlike, za katere so trdili in dokazali, da vplivajo na cene in primerljivost cen v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe.
In this regard, adjustments were made in respect of ocean and inland freight.
V zvezi s tem je prišlo do prilagoditev glede pomorskega in kopenskega prevoza.
In accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin was established on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average normal value with the weighted average export prices, as determined above.
V skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe je bila stopnja dampinga ugotovljena na podlagi primerjave tehtane povprečne normalne vrednosti s tehtanimi povprečnimi izvoznimi cenami, kakor so bile določene zgoraj.
This comparison showed the existence of dumping.
Primerjava je pokazala, da damping obstaja.
The dumping margin, expressed as a percentage of the CIF Community frontier price, duty unpaid, was 100,73 %, which is well above the level found in the previous investigation (41,9 %).
Stopnja dampinga, izražena v odstotkih cene CIF franko meja Skupnosti, brez plačanih dajatev, je bila 100,73 %, kar je precej nad ravnjo, ugotovljeno v prejšnjih preiskavah (41,9 %).
Further to the analysis of the existence of dumping during the IP, the likelihood of the continuation of dumping was also examined.
Poleg analize o obstoju dampinga v OP se je preučilo tudi verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga.
In the absence of cooperation from exporting producers and given that little public information is available about the Chinese magnesium oxide industry, the conclusions below rely mainly on facts available, namely the market research information based on Japan Trade Statistics, the US bureau of the Census and China customs data submitted by the complainant.
Brez sodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov in glede na to, da je o kitajski industriji magnezijevega oksida le malo javnih podatkov, se spodnji sklepi v glavnem opirajo na razpoložljive podatke, in sicer na podatke tržnih raziskav, ki temeljijo na japonski trgovinski statistiki, podatke ameriškega urada US Census Bureau ter podatke kitajske carine, ki jih je predložil pritožnik.
Chinese production capacity
Proizvodna zmogljivost Kitajske
According to the expiry review request, Chinese producers have substantial spare production capacity as they have the largest magnesite ore resource in the world, estimated at 1300000 tonnes.
Glede na zahtevo po pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepov imajo kitajski proizvajalci še precej neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti, saj imajo največji vir magnezitove rude na svetu, ki je ocenjen na 1300000 ton.
The total Chinese production capacity for the product concerned is estimated at between 800000 and 1000000 tonnes per year, whereas the Chinese domestic consumption is estimated at some 250000 tonnes and exports of around 550000 tonnes per year.
Skupna kitajska proizvodna zmogljivost za zadevni izdelek je ocenjena na med 800000 in 1000000 ton letno, medtem ko je kitajska domača poraba ocenjena na nekje 250000 ton, izvoz pa na približno 550000 ton letno.
Therefore, the Chinese production could be rapidly increased further if warranted by market conditions.
Zato bi se kitajska proizvodnja lahko hitro povečala, če bi to narekovali tržni pogoji.
Exports to third countries
Izvoz v tretje države
On the basis of the same source, it was established that total worldwide exports of Chinese magnesium oxide increased by 17 %, from 465900 tonnes in 1999 to 545600 tonnes in 2003.
Na podlagi istega vira je bilo ugotovljeno, da se je skupni svetovni izvoz kitajskega magnezijevega oksida povečal za 17 %, s 465900 ton v letu 1999 na 545600 ton leta 2003.
Export prices to other world markets such as Japan or the USA are around 38 % below those to the Community, so exporters would have an incentive to increase exports to the Community rather than to third countries should the existing measures be repealed.
Izvozne cene na ostale svetovne trge, kot so Japonska ali ZDA, so za približno 38 % nižje od izvoznih cen za Skupnost, torej bi izvozniki dobili spodbudo za povečanje izvoza v Skupnost namesto v tretje države, če bi obstoječe ukrepe razveljavili.
Moreover, in 2003, prices of Chinese exports to Japan fell by approximately 13 %, i.e. from USD 109,4 per tonne in 2000 to USD 95 per tonne in 2003.
Poleg tega so leta 2003 cene kitajskega izvoza na Japonsko padle za približno 13 %, tj. s 109,4 USD za tono leta 2000 na 95 USD za tono leta 2003.
Also prices to the USA fell by approximately 8 % in the same period, i.e. from USD 133 per tonne in 2000 to USD 122 per tonne in 2003.
Tudi cene za ZDA so padle za približno 8 %, tj. s 133 USD za tono leta 2000 na 122 USD za tono leta 2003.
This clearly shows that, if the measures were repealed, the Chinese exporters would have an incentive to target the Community market in the light of their substantial spare production capacity and of the higher price level in the Community compared to third countries.
To jasno kaže, da bi v primeru ukinitve ukrepov kitajski izvozniki dobili spodbudo, da se glede na njihove neizkoriščene proizvodne zmogljivosti ter višje cene v Skupnosti kot v tretjih državah usmerijo na trg Skupnosti.
Export prices to the Community
Izvozne cene v Skupnost
It should also be noted that the generally prevailing price level for the product concerned in the Community makes the Community market a very attractive one.
Treba je tudi opozoriti, da je zaradi splošno prevladujoče cenovne ravni, ki velja v Skupnosti za obravnavani izdelek, trg Skupnosti zelo privlačen.
This is a further incentive for increasing exports to the Community by increasing production.
To je še dodatna spodbuda za povečanje izvoza v Skupnost s povečanjem proizvodnje.
Moreover, as said above, export prices to third countries were found to be lower than those to the Community.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da so izvozne cene za tretje države nižje kot za Skupnost.
However, the attractive and relatively high prices on the Community market are not likely to be maintained in the long term.
Vendar privlačne in razmeroma visoke cene na trgu Skupnosti dolgoročno verjetno ne bodo ostale na takšni ravni.
If measures were lifted, the numerous Chinese exporters would be specifically interested in the Community market in order to increase their shares.
Z odpravo ukrepov bi številni kitajski izvozniki postali zainteresirani za trg Skupnosti, da bi povečali svoje deleže.
Such an increased competition, however, might lead to lower prices.
Takšna povečana konkurenca bi lahko povzročila znižanje cen.
Consequently, it is very likely that all operators present on the Community market would have to reduce their prices accordingly.
Zato je zelo verjetno, da bi vsi ponudniki na trgu Skupnosti morali skladno s tem znižati svoje cene.
The investigation shows that the PRC has continued its dumping practices during the IP at a far higher level than previously.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je LRK v OP nadaljevala svojo dampinško prakso na veliko višji stopnji kot prej.
Given the fact that the PRC has considerable spare production capacity and that Chinese exports to third countries are made at even lower prices than those to the Community, there is a strong likelihood that Chinese exporting producers would substantially increase their dumped exports of the product concerned to the Community if existing measures were repealed.
Ob upoštevanju, da ima LRK precejšnje proste proizvodne zmogljivosti in da v tretje države izvaža po nižjih cenah kakor v Skupnost, obstaja velika verjetnost, da bi kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki znatno povečali dampinški izvoz zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost, če bi razveljavili obstoječe ukrepe.
The four complainant Community producers replied to the questionnaires and fully cooperated in the investigation.
Štirje proizvajalci Skupnosti, ki so vložili zahtevek, so odgovorili na vprašalnik in polno sodelovali v preiskavi.
During the IP, they represented 96 % of the Community production.
Med OP so predstavljali 96 % proizvodnje Skupnosti.
On this basis, the four complainant Community producers constitute the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Na tej podlagi štirje proizvajalci pritožniki Skupnosti predstavljajo industrijo Skupnosti v smislu člena 4(1) in člena 5(4) osnovne uredbe.
SITUATION OF THE COMMUNITY MARKET
STANJE NA TRGU SKUPNOSTI
Community consumption was based on the combined volume of sales made by the Community industry in the Community, imports from the PRC and imports from other third countries.
Poraba Skupnosti temelji na seštevku obsega prodaje, ki jo je v Skupnosti opravila industrija Skupnosti, in uvoza iz LRK in drugih tretjih držav.
