Average prices fell and consequently the turnover diminished even more significantly.
Povprečne cene so padle, posledično pa se je še bolj zmanjšal tudi prihodek.
The production volume and capacity utilisation followed the same trend.
Obseg proizvodnje in izkoristek zmogljivosti sta sledila temu trendu.
Due to these negative developments, the profitability, return on investment and the cash flow deteriorated considerably over the period considered.
Spričo tega negativnega razvoja so se donosnost, povrnitev naložb in denarni tok v zadevnem obdobju znatno zmanjšali.
The situation of the Community industry is thus found to have deteriorated to such an extent that it is provisionally concluded that the Community industry has suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(1) and 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Razmere v industriji Skupnosti so se torej glede na ugotovitve preiskave tako poslabšale, da je Komisija začasno ugotovila, da je industrija Skupnosti utrpela materialno škodo v smislu člena 3(1) in 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
CAUSALITY
VZROČNOST
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has examined whether the dumped imports of barium carbonate originating in the country concerned have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
V skladu s členom 3(6) osnovne uredbe je Komisija preverila, ali je dampinški uvoz barijevega karbonata s poreklom v zadevni državi povzročil škodo industriji Skupnosti do te stopnje, da bi jo lahko označili za materialno škodo.
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time be injuring the Community industry, were also examined to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
V skladu s členom 3(7) osnovne uredbe je pregledala tudi znane dejavnike, ki bi poleg dampinškega uvoza prav tako istočasno lahko povzročali škodo industriji Skupnosti, da bi zagotovila, da morebitne škode, ki bi jo povzročili omenjeni dejavniki, ne bi pripisali dampinškemu uvozu.
Over the period considered, dumped imports from the country concerned increased significantly in terms of volume (from 54167 tonnes to 63742 tonnes) and market share (by more than 7 percentage points).
V času zadevnega obdobja se je dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države znatno povečal v smislu obsega (s 54167 ton na 63742 ton) in tržnega deleža (za več kot 7 odstotnih točk).
The most important increase in import volumes occurred during the IP (increase by 30,4 % compared to 2002), while import prices decreased during the whole period considered.
Obseg uvoza se je najbolj povečal v zadevnem obdobju (za 30,4 % v primerjavi z letom 2002), medtem ko so uvozne cene v celotnem zadevnem obdobju padale.
This coincided with a decrease in sales and a resulting loss of market share of the Community industry of almost 9 percentage points and with a drop in average sales prices.
To je sovpadlo z zmanjšanjem prodaje in izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti za skoraj 9 odstotnih točk ter padcem povprečnih prodajnih cen.
The Community industry had to lower its sales prices as they were significantly undercut during the IP by the dumped imports from the PRC.
Industrija Skupnosti je morala znižati prodajne cene, saj jih je v zadevnem obdobju znatno zbil dampinški uvoz iz LRK.
Due to the low sales prices, the Community industry was not able to cover the costs of production and was therefore unprofitable.
Zaradi nizkih prodajnih cen industrija Skupnosti ni mogla pokriti stroškov proizvodnje in je torej bila nedonosna.
Imports from other third countries
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
Over the period considered, the import volume of barium carbonate from third countries increased from 6500 tonnes to 8700 tonnes, representing a market share of less than 10 % during the IP.
V zadevnem obdobju se je obseg uvoza barijevega karbonata iz tretjih držav povečal s 6500 ton na 8700 ton, kar je v zadevnem obdobju predstavljalo manj kot 10-odstotni tržni delež.
The main other third countries exporting barium carbonate to the Community were Brazil and Russia.
Glavni tretji državi, ki sta izvažali barijev karbonat v Skupnost, sta Brazilija in Rusija.
During the IP, the average price of imports from Russia amounted to EUR 278/tonne.
V zadevnem obdobju je znašala povprečna cena za uvoz iz Rusije 278 EUR za tono.
This means that Russian products were considerably more expensive than imports from the PRC and only slightly cheaper than the products sold by the Community industry.
To pomeni, da so bili ruski proizvodi bistveno dražji kot tisti iz LRK in le za malenkost cenejši od tistih, ki jih je prodajala industrija Skupnosti.
According to importers and users, the quality of barium carbonate imported from Russia is lower than the quality of both the product concerned imported from the PRC and the like product sold by the Community industry.
Glede na podatke uvoznikov in uporabnikov je barijev karbonat iz Rusije slabše kakovosti kot kitajski ali podobni izdelek industrije Skupnosti.
Due to the fact that barium carbonate from Russia is of lower quality but more expensive than imports from the PRC, it is not competitive on the Community market.
Ker je barijev karbonat iz Rusije slabše kakovosti, a dražji kot tisti, uvožen iz LRK, ni konkurenčen.
Compared to the product sold by the Community industry, the quality of barium carbonate from Russia is significantly lower and not compensated by the small price difference.
V primerjavi s proizvodom industrije Skupnosti je njegova kakovost bistveno slabša in je majhna razlika v ceni ne more nadomestiti.
As the Russian product is not competitive, its market share diminished over the period considered.
Ker ruski proizvod ni konkurenčen, se je njegov tržni delež v zadevnem obdobju zmanjšal.
It was therefore provisionally concluded that imports from Russia did not break the causal link between dumping and material injury caused by the Chinese imports.
Zato je Komisija začasno sklenila, da uvoz iz Rusije ni prekinil vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz Kitajske in materialno škodo, ki jo je ta povzročil.
The average price of imports from Brazil was EUR 186/tonne during the IP.
Povprečna cena uvoza iz Brazilije je v zadevnem obdobju znašala 186 EUR za tono. V zadevnem obdobju se je tržni delež proizvodov iz Brazilije povzpel za okoli dve odstotni točki. Ob upoštevanju tako majhne rasti prodaje in tržnega deleža, ki je manj kot 5-odstoten, je Komisija začasno sklenila, da omenjeni uvoz ni povzročil materialne škode industriji Skupnosti.
Development of demand
Razvoj povpraševanja
As to the development of demand, the apparent consumption of barium carbonate decreased between 2000 and 2002 but the Community industry was able to keep its market share.
Kar zadeva razvoj povpraševanja, se je očitna poraba barijevega karbonata med letoma 2000 in 2002 zmanjšala, vendar je industriji Skupnosti uspelo obdržati tržni delež.
Subsequently, the sales and the market share of the Community industry went down although the consumption increased considerably during the IP.
Kasneje sta prodaja in tržni delež industrije Skupnosti padla, čeprav se je poraba v zadevnem obdobju znatno povečala.
At the same time, Chinese imports were able to gain market share, increasing with more than 7 percent points over the period concerned.
V istem obdobju je uvoz iz Kitajske dosegel za 7 odstotnih točk višji tržni delež.
Therefore, the material injury suffered by the Community industry cannot be attributed to a contraction in demand on the Community market.
Zato materialna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, ne more biti povezana z zmanjševanjem povpraševanja na trgu Skupnosti.
Currency fluctuations
Nihanje tečajev
Some interested parties have claimed that the depreciation of the USD against the euro has favoured imports of barium carbonate into the European Community.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je padec vrednosti ameriškega dolarja napram euru olajšal uvoz barijevega karbonata v Evropsko skupnost.
The vast majority of import transactions from the country concerned into the European Community are indeed invoiced in USD.
Večina uvoznih transakcij iz zadevne države v Evropsko skupnost je namreč dejansko izražena v USD.
The euro appreciated against the USD as from mid 2002, and significantly during the IP, thus favouring exports into the euro area.
Tečaj eura napram dolarju se je okrepil od srede leta 2002, še bolj izrazito pa v zadevnem obdobju, kar je pospešilo uvoz na območje eura.
However, even based on the exchange rate prevailing at the beginning of 2002, imports from the PRC undercut the prices of the Community industry.
Vendar uvoz iz LRK zbija cene industrije Skupnosti celo po tečajih z začetka leta 2002.
In addition, this favourable exchange rate situation would also have had an impact on imports from other third countries as they are also mainly invoiced in USD.
Poleg tega bi moral položaj glede menjalnih tečajev vplivati tudi na uvoz iz tretjih držav, saj je tudi ta večinoma izražen v USD.
The fact that currency fluctuations did not have a major effect on imports from other countries, indicates that it cannot be considered as the main causal factor for the important surge of dumped imports from the country concerned.
Dejstvo, da nihanja tečaja niso imela večjega učinka na uvoz iz drugih držav, kaže, da teh ne gre jemati kot glavni vzročni dejavnik za val dampinškega uvoza iz zadevne države.
Therefore, it was provisionally concluded that, although the appreciation of the Euro in respect of the USD might have favoured imports of barium carbonate into the European Community, it is not sufficient to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Komisija je tako začasno ugotovila, da čeprav je krepitev eura v odnosu na dolar morda pospešila uvoz barijevega karbonata v Evropsko skupnost, ni prekinila vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in materialno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Imports by the Community industry
Uvoz industrije Skupnosti
It was submitted that the Community industry imported barium carbonate from the PRC and thereby contributed to the injury suffered.
Prijavljeno je bilo, da je industrija Skupnosti uvažala barijev karbonat iz LRK in tako prispevala k utrpljeni škodi.
However, the Community industry did not purchase any products from the PRC after 2001 and had imported it before that year only in negligible quantities (around 1 % of their own production).
Vendar industrija Skupnosti ni kupila nobenega proizvoda iz LRK po letu 2001, pa tudi pred tem letom je uvozila le nepomembne količine (za okoli 1 % svoje lastne proizvodnje).
Therefore, it is provisionally concluded that imports by the Community industry of the product concerned from the PRC, if any, could not be a determining reason for the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Komisija je zato začasno sklenila, da zadevni izdelek iz LRK, če sploh, ne more biti razlog za materialno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Further factors
Drugi dejavniki
Several users and importers argued that the Community is suffering injury due to the competition by a water suspended slurry of barium carbonate which eliminates the toxic dust generated when using barium carbonate in powder form.
Nekateri uporabniki in uvozniki so trdili, da je Skupnost utrpela škodo zaradi konkurence tekoče zmesi barijevega karbonata, suspendiranega z vodo, ki odstrani strupeni prah, ki nastane ob uporabi barijevega karbonata v obliki praška.
The slurry is produced by the importers in the Community, by using powder imported from the PRC and adding water and specific additives after importation.
Zmes proizvajajo podjetja v Skupnosti, tako da uporabijo prah, uvožen iz LRK, ter mu po uvozu dodajo vodo in posebne dodatke.
This argument has to be rejected because the Community industry has the know-how to produce slurry but does not promote it as it considers it not to be economical to transport water.
Komisija je morala zavrniti ta argument, saj ima industrija Skupnosti znanje za proizvodnjo omenjene tekoče zmesi, vendar je ne promovira, saj meni, da transport vode ni ekonomičen.
Therefore, it has developed in cooperation with other European companies, an equipment specific to the brick and tile industry which enables the users of barium carbonate to mix the powder with water at the point of production, eliminating also the generation of toxic dust.
Zato je, v sodelovanju z drugimi evropskimi podjetji, razvila opremo, specifično za industrijo opeke in keramike, ki omogoča uporabnikom barijevega karbonata, da zmešajo prah z vodo na točki proizvodnje ter s tem tudi odpravijo nastanek strupenega prahu.
Thus the Community industry offers a competitive product to slurry.
Tako industrija Skupnosti ponuja proizvod, konkurenčen tekoči zmesi.
However, since the slurry is produced with barium carbonate imported from China at dumped prices, it could be sold at prices which are below the prices of powder supplied by the Community industry.
Ker pa je zmes proizvedena iz barijevega karbonata uvoženega iz Kitajske po dampinških cenah, se jo lahko proda po cenah, ki so nižje od tistih, ki veljajo za prah, proizveden v industriji Skupnosti.
Therefore, it is not be considered as another factor causing injury, because the impact of slurry results itself from the dumped imports.
To pomeni, da je uvedba omenjene tekoče zmesi lahko prispevala k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Indeed, had the product concerned not been imported at dumped prices, the product offered by the Community industry which is in competition with the slurry, would have been able to compete on fair terms with the slurry.
Vendar ta ne more biti označena kot dodatni dejavnik škode, ker se je povzročila sama z dampinškim uvozom. Je pa res, da bi proizvod industrije Skupnosti, ki je konkurenčen tekoči zmesi, s to lahko tekmoval pod poštenimi pogoji konkurence, če zadevni izdelek ne bi bil uvožen po dampinških cenah.
CONCLUSION ON CAUSATION
UGOTOVITEV GLEDE VZROČNOSTI
The above analysis has demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in volume and market share of the imports originating in the country concerned, especially between 2002 and the IP, together with a considerable decrease in their sales prices and a high level of price undercutting during the IP.
Zgoraj opisana analiza je pokazala, da obstaja stvarno povečanje obsega in tržnega deleža za uvoz iz zadevne države zlasti med letom 2002 in obdobjem preiskave, kar je povzročilo resen padec cen in visoko raven zbijanja cen v obdobju preiskave.
This increase in market share of the low-priced Chinese imports coincided with a significant drop in market share of the Community industry, which, together with the downward pressure on prices, resulted, inter alia, in substantial losses of the Community industry during the IP.
To povečanje tržnega deleža nizkocenovnih kitajskih uvoženih proizvodov je sovpadlo z opaznim padcem tržne vrednosti industrije Skupnosti, ki je, skupaj s pritiskom k znižanju cen, med drugim povzročilo znatne izgube industriji Skupnosti v zadevnem obdobju.
On the other hand, the examination of the other factors which could have injured the Community industry revealed that none of these could have had a significant negative impact or could break the causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Po drugi strani pa je preiskava drugih dejavnikov, ki bi lahko škodovali industriji Skupnosti, pokazala, da nobeden izmed njih ne bi mogel imeti opaznega negativnega vpliva ali celo razbiti vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in materialno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Based on the above analysis which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Community within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgoraj omenjene analize, ki je ustrezno ločila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj v industriji Skupnosti od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza, je Komisija začasno ugotovila, da je uvoz iz LRK povzročil materialno škodo v Skupnosti v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
PRELIMINARY REMARK
PREDHODNA OPOMBA
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it is not in the Community interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je Komisija preverila, ali kljub ugotovitvi o škodljivem dampingu obstajajo tehtni razlogi, zaradi katerih sprejetje ukrepov v tem konkretnem primeru ne bi bilo v interesu Skupnosti.
The determination of the Community interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Community industry, the importers and the users of the product concerned.
Določitev interesa Skupnosti je temeljila na presoji vseh različnih vpletenih interesov oz. tistih, ki zadevajo industrijo Skupnosti, uvoznike in uporabnike zadevnega izdelka.
In order to assess the likely impact of the imposition or non-imposition of measures, the Commission requested information from all interested parties.
Da bi ocenila možen vpliv uvedbe ali neuvedbe ukrepov, je Komisija vse zainteresirane strani zaprosila za podatke.
The Commission sent questionnaires to the Community industry, 10 suppliers of raw materials, 18 importers and 38 users of the product concerned.
Poslala je vprašalnike industriji Skupnosti, 10 dobaviteljem primarnih surovin, 18 uvoznikom in 38 uporabnikom zadevnega izdelka.
The Community producer, one supplier of raw materials, five importers, six users and one association of users replied.
Izpolnjene vprašalnike so vrnili proizvajalec iz Skupnosti, en dobavitelj primarnih surovin, pet uvoznikov, šest uporabnikov in eno združenje uporabnikov.
The Community industry has a fully-automated production line, operating very cost-efficiently as regards off-spec material and number of employees per tonne produced.
Industrija Skupnosti ima popolnoma avtomatizirano proizvodno linijo, ki deluje zelo stroškovno učinkovito, kar zadeva nespecificiran material in število zaposlenih na proizvedeno tono.
It also made replacement investments and continued to export.
Prav tako je vlagala v zamenjavo in nadaljevala z izvozom.
It is considered that the imposition of measures will restore fair competition on the market.
Obstaja mnenje, da bo uvedba ukrepov znova vzpostavila pošteno konkurenco na trgu.
If measures are taken, the Community industry will be able to regain at least part of its lost market share with a consequent positive impact on its profitability.
Če bodo ukrepi sprejeti, bo lahko industrija Skupnosti znova pridobila vsaj del izgubljenega tržnega deleža, kar bo pozitivno vplivalo na njeno donosnost.
As mentioned above, the Community industry suffered material injury caused by dumped imports originating in the country concerned.
Kot je že zgoraj omenjeno, je industrija Skupnosti utrpela materialno škodo zaradi dampinškega uvoza s poreklom v zadevni državi. Če ukrepi ne bodo sprejeti, obstaja verjetnost, da se bo položaj v industriji Skupnosti še poslabšal.
If measures are not imposed, a further deterioration in the situation of the Community industry is probable. This would entail a further loss of employment.
Učinek zbijanja cen, ki ga povzroča dampinški uvoz, lahko dodatno poslabša položaj industrije Skupnosti, kar bi lahko povzročilo dodatne izgube delovnih mest.
The price-depressive effect of the dumped imports would continue to foil all efforts by the Community industry, in particular, to regain a profitable level.
Učinek zbijanja cen, ki ga povzroča dampinški uvoz, bi še naprej oviral vsa prizadevanja industrije Skupnosti, zlasti napore za vrnitev na donosno raven.
Not taking measures would jeopardise the long-term presence of the industry and it cannot be excluded that the sole Community producer might have to shut down as a result of the competition from dumped imports if measures are not imposed.
Neuvedba ukrepov bi ogrozila dolgoročno prisotnost omenjene industrije in ni moč izključiti možnosti, da bi moral edini tovrstni proizvajalec v Skupnosti v tem primeru zaradi konkurence dampinškega uvoza zapreti vrata.
SUPPLIERS OF RAW MATERIALS
DOBAVITELJI PRIMARNIH SUROVIN
One questionnaire reply was received from a supplier of raw materials supplying natural barium sulphate to the Community industry it is the sole supplier of the main raw material for the production of barium carbonate located in the Community.
Komisija je prejela en izpolnjen vprašalnik od dobavitelja surovin, ki industriji Skupnosti dobavlja naravni barijev sulfat. Gre za edinega dobavitelja glavnega materiala za proizvodnjo barijevega karbonata na ozemlju Skupnosti.
If measures are imposed and the Community industry regains lost market share, the supplier of raw material will also be able to sell more of its product.
Če bodo ukrepi sprejeti in bo industrija Skupnosti ponovno zavzela izgubljeni tržni delež, bo tudi dobavitelj surovine lahko prodal večjo količino svojega proizvoda.
As the raw material concerned constitutes a major part of the turnover of this company, this will improve the financial situation of the raw material supplier.
Ker pa surovina predstavlja glavni vir prihodkov tega podjetja, bo uvedba ukrepov okrepila finančni položaj dobavitelja surovine.
If measures are not imposed, the sales of the Community industry will continue to go down and consequently also their demand for raw materials.
Če ukrepi ne bodo sprejeti, se bo prodaja industrije Skupnosti še naprej zmanjševala, posledično pa tudi povpraševanje po surovinah.
This will negatively affect the profitability of the raw material supplier.
To bo imelo negativen učinek na donosnost dobavitelja primarnih surovin.
IMPORTERS
UVOZNIKI
Five questionnaire replies were received from importers who were all against the imposition of measures.
Komisija je prejela pet izpolnjenih vprašalnikov od uvoznikov, ki pa so vsi nasprotovali uvedbi ukrepov.
Some of the product concerned imported in powder form from the PRC is subsequently transformed by the importers into slurry, by adding water and special additives.
Nekateri izmed zadevnih izdelkov, ki jih iz LRK uvažajo v obliki prahu, se kasneje z dodajanjem vode in dodatkov spremenijo v tekočo zmes.
As the profit margin of the importers for sales of the product concerned and slurry is on a weighted average basis 6,8 %, the importers will be able to bear part of the possible price increases and pass on part to their customers.
Ker stopnja dobička uvoznikov za prodajo zadevnega izdelka in zmesi na tehtani povprečni osnovi znaša 6,8 %, bodo lahko uvozniki prevzeli del možnega dviga cen, del pa prenesli na stranke.
In view of the relatively low duties to be imposed on the companies operating under market economy conditions and the alternative sources available without any duties, the possible price increases will be limited.
V luči razmeroma nizkih dajatev, predvidenih za podjetja, ki poslujejo v pogojih tržnega gospodarstva, ter dejstva, da so nadomestni viri dostopni brez kakršnih koli dajatev, bodo možni dvigi cen omejeni.
Taking into account the fact that sales of the product concerned and the slurry account on average for around 15 % of the importers' total turnover, the financial situation of the importers will not be seriously affected by the imposition of a duty.
Ob upoštevanju dejstva, da prodaja zadevnega izdelka in tekoče zmesi zavzema v povprečju okoli 15 % uvoznikovega celotnega prihodka, finančni položaj uvoznikov ne bo resneje ogrožen z uvedbo dajatve.
On the basis of the above, it was provisionally concluded that the effect of the anti-dumping measures, if any, will most likely not have a material impact on importers.
Na temelju zgoraj navedenega je Komisija začasno ugotovila, da učinek protidampinških ukrepov najverjetneje ne bo imel materialnih posledic za uvoznike.
