They also argued that the Community producers could, if duties are prolonged, develop a dominant position on the Community market, thus reducing free competition within the Community to a minimum which would drive up prices in the Community further.
Menili so tudi, da bi lahko s podaljšanjem dajatev proizvajalci Skupnosti prevzeli prevladujoč položaj na trgu Skupnosti in bi se zato svobodna konkurenca v Skupnosti zmanjšala na najnižjo stopnjo, zaradi česar bi se cene v Skupnosti še bolj povišale.
Whereas in the EU-15 most of the potash from the countries concerned was imported under the IPR, enlargement undertakings allowed duty-free imports from the countries concerned under certain conditions.
Čeprav je bila večina pepelike iz zadevnih držav uvožena v EU-15 v skladu z režimom oprostitev pri aktivnem oplemenitenju, so širitvene zaveze omogočale dajatev prost uvoz iz zadevnih držav pod nekaterimi pogoji.
The argument concerning the alleged dominant position of the Community industry has therefore to be rejected.
Trditev o domnevnem prevladujočem položaju industrije Skupnosti je zato treba zavrniti.
Subsequent to disclosure of the findings, a number of interested parties insisted that the continuation of the measures would create an anti-competitive situation, whereby the Community industry would enjoy a dominant position.
Po razkritju ugotovitev je več zainteresiranih strani vztrajalo, da bi nadaljevanje ukrepov ustvarilo nekonkurenčno okolje, v katerem bi industrija Skupnosti imela prevladujoč položaj.
In this respect, it is to be noted that no indication was found during the investigation that the existence of the measures, apart from reducing the effects of injurious dumping, has significantly modified the competitive situation in favour of the Community industry.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da med preiskavo ni nič pokazalo na to, da so ukrepi, poleg zmanjšanja učinkov škodljivega dampinga, znatno vplivali tudi na konkurenčnost v korist industrije Skupnosti.
On the contrary, imports from the countries concerned have even increased and imports from other third countries continue to represent a substantial share of the Community market.
Nasprotno, uvoz iz zadevnih držav se je celo povečal, uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav pa še vedno pomeni znaten delež na trgu Skupnosti.
Therefore, no element seems to indicate that a continuation of the measures could cause a deterioration of the competitive situation in the Community market.
Zato se zdi, da noben element ne kaže na to, da bi nadaljevanje ukrepov povzročilo izkrivljanje konkurenčnosti na trgu Skupnosti.
It should also be noted that importers (traders) of potash often also import other products.
Treba je tudi opozoriti, da uvozniki (trgovci) pepelike pogosto uvažajo tudi druge izdelke.
Although some importers focus their business on potash, for other importers the potash business accounts for as little as 10 % of their business.
Glavna dejavnost nekaterih uvoznikov je trgovanje s pepeliko, pri drugih uvoznikih pa trgovanje s pepeliko pomeni le 10 % poslovanja.
In addition, importers currently focusing on potash have indicated that they could switch their focus to other products demanded by their customer base, primarily other fertilisers.
Poleg tega so uvozniki, katerih zdajšnja glavna dejavnost je povezana s pepeliko, navedli, da bi se lahko preusmerili v druge izdelke, po katerih povprašuje njihova mreža kupcev, zlasti v druga gnojila.
Subsequent to disclosure of the findings, however, one importer and one importers’ association claimed that certain importers are heavily depending on imports of potash from Belarus and would hardly be able to switch to other sources of supply in case the measures were maintained.
Vendar sta po razkritju končnih ugotovitev en uvoznik in eno združenje uvoznikov trdila, da so nekateri uvozniki močno odvisni od uvoza pepelike iz Belorusije in bi se zelo težko preusmerili na druge vire dobave, če bi se ukrepi ohranili.
It was found, however, that a shift to other sources of supply, e.g. the Community industry or imports from countries other than Belarus, is indeed a possibility available to importers.
Ugotovljeno pa je bilo, da preusmeritev na druge vire dobave, na primer na industrijo Skupnosti ali na uvoz iz drugih držav razen Belorusije, predstavlja resnično možnost za uvoznike.
Although this shift may have some impact on the economic and financial results of these importers, it is considered that their level of profitability would not be affected so substantially as to undermine their long term viability.
Čeprav ta preusmeritev lahko vpliva na ekonomske in finančne rezultate teh uvoznikov, se šteje, da to na njihovo raven dobičkonosnosti ne bi vplivalo toliko, da bi ogrozilo njihovo dolgoročno sposobnost preživetja.
In view of all arguments brought forward by importers, it is concluded that the effects of the anti-dumping measures on the financial situation of importers are relatively limited.
Glede na vse argumente, ki so jih predložili uvozniki, se sklene, da so učinki protidampinških ukrepov na finančno stanje uvoznikov razmeroma omejeni.
Indeed, on the basis of the verified questionnaire replies, it was found that the profitability of the importers has not been negatively influenced by the existing anti-dumping measures so far.
Na podlagi preverjenih odgovorov na vprašalnik je bilo ugotovljeno, da obstoječi protidampinški ukrepi zaenkrat niso negativno vplivali na dobičkonosnost uvoznikov.
There are no reasons to believe that this situation would substantially change if measures are maintained.
Zato ni razlogov, da bi se takšen položaj bistveno spremenil, če bi se ukrepi ohranili.
It is therefore concluded that a continuation of the measures would not have a substantial impact on the situation of importers (traders).
Zato se sklene, da nadaljnja veljavnost ukrepov ne bi znatno vplivala na položaj uvoznikov (trgovcev).
Farmers
Kmetje
No cooperation was obtained from the direct users of potash as a fertiliser (farmers), although their representative organisation received a questionnaire.
Neposredni uporabniki pepelike kot gnojila (kmeti) niso sodelovali, čeprav je njihova predstavniška organizacija prejela vprašalnik.
One farmer’s association of a Member State, however, argued that anti-dumping duties would harm the position of the farmers in a competitive market where import prices of inputs like fertilisers are regulated while prices of imported foodstuffs are not.
Vseeno je eno od združenj kmetov v eni od držav članic menilo, da bi protidampinške dajatve škodljivo vplivale na položaj kmetov na konkurenčnem trgu, kjer so uvozne cene snovi, kot so gnojila, administrativno določene, cene uvoženih živil pa ne.
This argument has to be rejected because anti-dumping measures do not deal with overall questions concerning agricultural policy.
To trditev je treba zavrniti, ker protidampinški ukrepi ne obravnavajo splošnih vprašanj v zvezi s kmetijsko politiko.
Anti-dumping investigations only aim at re-establishing a situation of fair trade following an act of injurious dumping.
Namen protidampinških preiskav je le ponovna vzpostavitev stanja poštene trgovine po obstoju škodljivega dampinga.
In the absence of any other substantial argument and of any indication that the existing anti-dumping measures would have had a negative effect on farmers, it is to be concluded that the continuation of anti-dumping duties will not have a major negative impact for farmers.
Ker ni bila predložena nobena druga tehtna trditev in nobena navedba, da bi bil učinek obstoječih protidampinških ukrepov negativen za kmete, je treba skleniti, da nadaljevanje protidampinških dajatev ne bo bistveno negativno vplivalo na kmete.
Fertiliser manufacturers
Proizvajalci gnojil
The users submitting questionnaire replies were all fertiliser manufacturers who buy potash from the Community industry and also import it from the countries concerned or from third countries.
Uporabniki, ki so izpolnili vprašalnik, so bili proizvajalci gnojil, ki kupujejo pepeliko pri industriji Skupnosti in jo tudi uvažajo iz zadevnih držav ali tretjih držav.
For them, potash is a raw material for producing fertilisers that often consist of three different nutrients: nitrogen, phosphate and potash (NPK-fertilisers or compound fertiliser).
Pepeliko uporabljajo kot surovino za proizvodnjo gnojil, ki pogosto vsebujejo tri različna hranila: nitrogen, fosfat in pepeliko (gnojila NPK ali sestavljena gnojila).
This means that potash is one of the cost elements for their final products, representing between 15 and 30 % of the production cost.
To pomeni, da je pepelika ena izmed stroškovnih dejavnikov njihovega končnega produkta in predstavlja od 15 % do 30 % proizvodnih stroškov.
During the period considered the production costs of fertilisers containing potash significantly decreased in 2002 and 2003, followed by a moderate increase during the IP, without reaching the levels prevailing in 2001.
Med obravnavanim obdobjem so se proizvodni stroški gnojil, ki vsebujejo pepeliko, leta 2002 in 2003 znatno zmanjšali, potem pa so se med OP nekoliko povečali, vendar niso dosegli prevladujočih stopenj iz leta 2001.
It can therefore be concluded that the anti-dumping measures on potash did not have a significant impact on the cost structure of the fertiliser manufacturers.
Skleniti je mogoče, da protidampinški ukrepi za pepeliko niso znatno vplivali na stroškovno strukturo proizvajalcev gnojil.
Most of these users argued in the same manner against the continuation of measures as the importers.
Večina teh uporabnikov je bila enako kot uvozniki proti nadaljevanju veljavnosti ukrepov.
However, one fertiliser producer pointed out that it would be in its interest to have potash producers both inside and outside the Community also in the future.
Vendar je en proizvajalec gnojil opozoril, da je tudi nadaljnji obstoj proizvajalcev pepelike v Skupnosti in zunaj nje v njegovem interesu.
As the competing fertiliser producers in third countries do not pay anti-dumping duties on their purchases of potash, the Community fertiliser manufacturers also claimed that they are unable to compete with the prices of the final product offered by their foreign competitors.
Ker konkurenčni proizvajalci gnojil v tretjih državah ne plačujejo protidampinških dajatev za nakup pepelike, so proizvajalci pepelike v Skupnosti trdili tudi, da ne morejo konkurirati cenam končnega izdelka, ki ga ponujajo tuji konkurenti.
In this respect, it should be noted, however, that the Community fertiliser manufacturers have the possibility to import under IPR, i.e. without paying anti-dumping duties.
Vendar je treba pri tem opozoriti, da lahko proizvajalci gnojil Skupnosti uvažajo v skladu z režimom oprostitev pri aktivnem oplemenitenju, tj., ne da bi plačevali protidampinške dajatve.
Furthermore, it is recalled that other sources of supply exist, both in third countries not subject to anti-dumping measures, and in the Community.
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da so na voljo tudi drugi viri ponudbe, tako v tretjih državah kot tudi v Skupnosti, za katere ne veljajo protidampinški ukrepi.
Moreover, the investigation has not shown that these users were unable to compete with imported compound fertilisers on the Community market.
S preiskavo tudi ni bilo ugotovljeno, da ti uporabniki niso mogli konkurirati z uvoženim sestavljenim gnojilom na trgu Skupnosti.
On the basis of the above, it is concluded that measures have not had a significant negative impact on the situation of users.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se sklene, da ukrepi niso znatno negativno vplivali na položaj uporabnikov.
Indeed, the impact of the measures on the profitability of the fertiliser manufacturers during the period considered was minimal and no elements have been put forward indicating that this would change if measures were maintained.
Vpliv ukrepov na dobičkonosnost proizvajalcev gnojil med obravnavanim obdobjem je bil najmanjši in predložene niso bile nobene prvine, ki bi kazale na to, da bi se takšen položaj spremenil, če bi ukrepe ohranili.
It is therefore concluded that the interests of users are not such as to prohibit the continuation of measures.
Sklene se, da takšni interesi uporabnikov ne preprečujejo nadaljevanja veljavnosti ukrepov.
Consequences for competition on the Community market
Posledice za konkurenco na trgu Skupnosti
The measures in their current form clearly have had a stabilising effect on the Community industry which was able to exit the loss making period and regain a moderately profitable situation.
Ukrepi v zdajšnji obliki so nedvomno imeli stabilizirajoč vpliv na industrijo Skupnosti, ki je lahko končala obdobje poslovanja z izgubo in ponovno dosegla zmerno dobičkonosen položaj.
This development would not have been possible without measures.
Takšnega razvoja ne bi bilo mogoče doseči brez ukrepov.
However, this could not prevent a further concentration of the market as evidenced by the take-over of two Community producers by the ICL Group from Israel.
Vseeno ne bi mogel preprečiti nadaljnje koncentracije trga, ki se kaže tudi s prevzemom dveh proizvajalcev Skupnosti s strani družbe ICL Group iz Izraela.
Moreover, there was a close-down of the French potash industry in 2001 because the mines were exhausted.
Poleg tega je leta 2001 francoska industrija pepelike zaradi izčrpanja rudnikov prenehala delovati.
It was argued by importers and users that this development led practically to a duopoly on the EU market, holding a combined market share in excess of 70 %, in the EU-15 even in excess of 80 %.
Po mnenju uvoznikov in uporabnikov je takšen razvoj povzročil dejansko duopol na trgu EU s kombiniranim tržnim deležem, ki presega 70 %, v EU-15 pa presega celo 80 %.
Therefore, it was argued that the current measures have affected the market in a way that has impeded competition.
Menili so, da so trenutni ukrepi vplivali na trg tako, da so ovirali konkurenco.
This argument has to be rejected, as the current measures have allowed the Community industry to maintain its operations and partially recover from the effects of injurious dumping.
Takšno trditev je treba zavrniti, ker so trenutni ukrepi industriji Skupnosti omogočili, da ohrani svoje dejavnosti in si delno opomore od učinkov škodljivega dampinga.
In absence of measures, it is likely that competition would have been reduced even more since the Community producers would have been forced to close down potash production.
Brez ukrepov bi se verjetno še bolj zmanjšala konkurenca, ker bi bili proizvajalci Skupnosti prisiljeni ustaviti proizvodnjo pepelike.
Therefore, the continuation of measures prevents a further reduction of competition by allowing the Community industry to survive and remain competitive.
Nadaljevanje veljavnosti ukrepov zato preprečuje nadaljnje zmanjšanje konkurence, saj omogoča preživetje in nadaljnjo konkurenčnost industrije Skupnosti.
Moreover, it is also recalled that the presence of a number of other competitors on the Community market from third countries, as well as from the countries concerned has ensured competition on the Community market and there is no reason to presume that this would change if measures are maintained.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da je navzočnost več drugih konkurentov iz tretjih držav in tudi zadevnih držav na trgu Skupnosti zagotovila konkurenco na trgu Skupnosti in ni nobenega razloga za domnevo, da bi se to spremenilo, če bi se ukrepi ohranili.
Having analysed the various interests involved, it is concluded that, on the one hand, a continuation of the anti-dumping measures is likely to result in a stable and predictable development for the Community potash market, which will allow the Community industry to further recover and remain competitive under fair conditions of competition.
Na podlagi analize različnih vključenih interesov je po eni strani mogoče skleniti, da bo nadaljevanje veljavnosti protidampinških ukrepov verjetno povzročilo stalen in predvidljiv razvoj trga pepelike Skupnosti, ta pa bo industriji Skupnosti omogočil, da si dodatno opomore in ostane konkurenčna pod poštenimi konkurenčnimi pogoji.
On the other hand, leaving the Community industry without adequate protection against the dumped imports would most probably wipe out its small profitability gained in recent years and lead to a serious deterioration of its situation.
Po drugi strani, če ne bi bila zagotovljena ustrezna zaščita industrije Skupnosti pred dampinškim uvozom, ne bi več dosegala majhne dobičkonosnosti zadnjih let in njen položaj bi se resno poslabšal.
In fact, should the measures lapse, the Community industry would in all likelihood be forced to abandon the market step by step and a larger part of the market would be taken over by the Belarusian and Russian exporters, leaving an ever limited choice of sources of potash for importers, farmers and users in the Community.
Če ukrepi ne bi več veljali, bi industrija Skupnosti dejansko najverjetneje morala postopno zapustiti trg, njegov večji del pa bi prevzeli beloruski in ruski izvozniki, zaradi česar bi uvozniki, kmetje in uporabniki v Skupnosti imeli vedno bolj omejeno izbiro virov pepelike.
Therefore, the price advantage for importers, which would result from allowing the anti-dumping measures to lapse, is by far outweighed by the benefits to the Community industry resulting from the continuation of measures against the injurious dumping.
Zato so ugodnosti za industrijo Skupnosti, ki izhajajo iz nadaljevanja veljavnosti ukrepov proti škodljivemu dampingu, znatno večje kot cenovna prednost za uvoznike, ki bi jo dosegli, če bi bil dopuščen iztek veljavnosti protidampinških ukrepov.
The disadvantage for users and end-users when measures are maintained is considered to be very limited compared to the outlook to gain a stable and viable Community industry.
Neugodnost za uporabnike in končne uporabnike v primeru podaljšanja ukrepov se šteje za zelo omejeno v primerjavi z možnostjo, da se vzpostavi stabilna industrija Skupnosti.
In fact, the prolongation of measures does not change any of the present market conditions, under which the users are not substantially affected.
Pravzaprav podaljšanje ukrepov ne spremeni sedanjih tržnih pogojev, ki ne vplivajo znatno na uporabnike.
The likely negative effects on the situation of the Community industry are outweighing the possible burden for users and end-users, which will not be different from the situation existing at present.
Možni negativni vplivi na položaj industrije Skupnosti prevladajo nad morebitnim bremenom za uporabnike in končne uporabnike, ki se ne bo razlikoval od zdajšnjega položaja.
It is therefore concluded that there are no compelling reasons against the prolongation of the existing anti-dumping measures.
Sklene se, da ni nobenih nujnih razlogov proti podaljšanju veljavnosti obstoječih protidampinških ukrepov.
In the framework of the interim review concerning imports of potash originating in Belarus, it was also examined whether the changed circumstances with respect to the original investigation regarding dumping could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation.
V okviru vmesnega pregleda v zvezi z uvozom pepelike iz Belorusije je bilo preverjeno tudi, ali za spremenjene okoliščine ob upoštevanju prvotne preiskave o dampingu lahko velja, da so trajne v skladu s členom 11(3) osnovne uredbe.
By comparing the normal values and export prices found between the previous and the current investigation it has been established that, account being taken of comparable product types, normal value has considerably increased, but the average export price has increased even more, leading to decreased levels of dumping.
S primerjavo normalnih vrednosti in izvoznih cen med prejšnjo in sedanjo preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da se je ob upoštevanju primerljivih vrst izdelka normalna vrednost precej povišala, vendar se je povprečna izvozna cena še bolj povišala, kar je povzročilo znižanje stopnje dampinga.
As for the Belarusian export prices to other markets, they have been found to generally be in line with export prices to the EU market.
V zvezi z beloruskimi izvoznimi cenami za druge trge je bilo ugotovljeno, da so na splošno usklajene z izvoznimi cenami za trg EU.
No evidence was found that exports from Belarus would not continue to be made at dumped prices, yet at a lower level than in the past.
Nobenega dokaza ni, da ne bo izvoz iz Belorusije potekal po dampinških cenah, in sicer še na nižji stopnji kot v preteklosti.
Given the above, it is reasonably safe to conclude that the new lower level of dumping is of a lasting nature.
Z upoštevanjem navedenega se lahko upravičeno ugotovi, da je nova nižja stopnja dampinga trajna.
In view of all these factors, it is considered appropriate to amend the existing measures regarding Belarus, by lowering the dumping margin to that established in the present investigation.
Glede na te dejavnike je primerno spremeniti obstoječe ukrepe v zvezi z Belorusijo z znižanjem stopnje dampinga na stopnjo, določeno v tej preiskavi.
According to Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation, the amount of the anti-dumping duty should not exceed the margin of dumping established, but it should be less than that margin if such lesser duty would be adequate to remove the injury of the Community industry.
Glede na člen 9(4) osnovne uredbe vsota protidampinške dajatve ne sme presegati določene stopnje dampinga, vendar mora biti manjša od te stopnje, če bi bila manjša dajatev primerna za odpravo škode industrije Skupnosti.
As the existing duties for Belarus had been calculated on the basis of the dumping margin, and as the new dumping margin is lower than the one previously calculated, the duty should be adjusted to the lower dumping margin found in this investigation, namely 27,5 %.
Ker so bile obstoječe dajatve za Belorusijo izračunane na podlagi stopnje dampinga in ker je nova stopnja dampinga nižja od prejšnje, je treba dajatev prilagoditi nižji stopnji dampinga, določeni v tej preiskavi, in sicer 27,5 %.
Following the disclosure of the definitive findings, the exporting producer in Belarus offered a price undertaking.
Po razkritju končnih ugotovitev je proizvajalec izvoznik iz Belorusije ponudil cenovno zavezo.
It is the normal practice of the Commission not to accept undertakings from companies not fulfilling the criteria for market economy treatment or individual treatment as undertakings from such companies is considered impractical.
Običajno Komisija ne sprejme zavez od družb, ki ne izpolnjujejo meril za tržnogospodarsko obravnavo ali individualno obravnavo, ker zaveze od takšnih družb ne štejejo za praktične.
This notwithstanding, under particular circumstances, undertakings may be accepted from such companies.
Ne glede na to se v posebnih okoliščinah zaveze od takšnih družb lahko sprejmejo.
These circumstances would require, in particular, involvement from the State authorities in the exporting country in assuring that the conditions of the undertaking are respected.
Te okoliščine zahtevajo zlasti sodelovanje državnih organov v državi izvoznici pri zagotavljanju upoštevanja pogojev zaveze.
A crucial factor in accepting any undertaking is that it has to satisfy the relationship of trust between the Community and the parties to the undertaking.
Ključni dejavnik pri sprejetju kakršne koli zaveze je, da ta omogoča zaupanje med Skupnostjo in strankami zaveze.
In this regard, it should be recalled that the Council has imposed certain restrictive measures against President Lukashenko and certain officials of Belarus by Common Position 2006/276/CFSP [15] and Council Regulation (EC) No 765/2006 [16].
Pri tem je treba opozoriti, da je Svet s Skupnim stališčem 2005/276/SZVP [15] in z Uredbo Sveta (ES) št. 765/2006 [16] uvedel nekatere omejevalne ukrepe za predsednika Lukašenka in nekatere beloruske uradnike.
It should also be recalled that Belaruskali is a fully State owned company and therefore the current authorities have a direct and decisive influence over the operations of the company.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da je družba Belaruskali v celoti v državni lasti, zaradi česar imajo trenutni organi oblasti neposreden in odločilen vpliv na njeno delovanje.
