In view of the need to establish a normal value for exporting producers in the PRC to which MET might not be granted, a verification visit to establish normal value on the basis of data from an analogue country, the United States of America (USA), took place at the premises of the following companies:
Ker je bilo treba določiti normalno vrednost za proizvajalce izvoznike iz LRK, ki jim morda ne bo odobren status subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu, so bili z namenom določitve normalne vrednosti na podlagi podatkov iz primerljive države Združenih držav Amerike („ZDA“) opravljeni preveritveni obiski v prostorih naslednjih družb:
The examination of trends in the context of the injury analysis covered the period from 1 January 2001 to the end of the IP (period under consideration or period considered).
Preiskava gibanj v okviru analize škode je zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2001 do konca obdobja preiskave („obravnavano obdobje“).
Fluoropolymers are a group of high performance plastics, of which polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) is the best known and most widely used.
Flouropolimeri so plastične mase izjemne učinkovitosti, od katerih je politetrafluoroetilen (PTFE) najbolj znan in se največ uporablja.
Granular PTFE is a chemical product (a fluoropolymer) which bears a number of high resistance properties (such as high melting point, high thermal stability, insolubility, non-inflammability, low dielectric constant).
PTFE v obliki granul je kemijski izdelek (fluoropolimer), ki se odlikuje po svoji odpornosti (ima denimo visoko tališče, visoko termično obstojnost, je netopljiv, negorljiv, ima nizko dielektrično konstanto).
It is used as a component in a wide number of industrial sectors, e.g. the chemical, mechanical, electrical (inner shield of cables), automotive, construction (as isolation agent), cookware (pans), textile, or biomedical (surgery instruments) sectors.
Uporablja se kot sestavina na številnih področjih industrije, npr. v kemijski, strojni, elektroindustriji (notranja zaščita kablov), v avtomobilski in gradbeni (kot izolator), pri izdelavi kuhinjskih pripomočkov (ponve), v tekstilni in biomedicinski (kirurški instrumenti) industriji.
The most known trade mark under which this product is commercialised is Teflon.
Najbolj znana blagovna znamka, pod katero se izdelek prodaja, je „Teflon“.
The product concerned is so called granular polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), containing not more than 3 % of other monomer unit than tetrafluoroethylene, without fillers, in the form of powder or pellets, with the exclusion of micronised materials, and its raw polymer (reactor bead).
Zadevni izdelek je tako imenovani granulirani politetrafluoroetilen (PTFE), ki ne vsebuje več kot 3 % druge monomerne enote razen tetrafluoroetilena, brez polnil, v obliki prahu ali granul, razen mikroniziranih oblik, in njegov surovi polimer („reactor bead“).
The latter can be in wet or dry form.
Slednji je lahko vlažen ali suh.
Notwithstanding the different possible product types due to different form, average particle size, thermo treatment or co-monomer content, all of them constitute one product for the purpose of this proceeding because they have the same physical characteristics and essentially the same basic uses.
Za namene tega postopka vse vrste izdelkov, ne glede na morebitne razlike zaradi različnih oblik, povprečne velikosti delcev, toplotne obdelave ali deleža komonomera, sestavljajo en izdelek, saj imajo enake fizikalne lastnosti in v glavnem enako osnovno uporabo.
The product concerned is currently classifiable within CN code ex39046100.
Zadevni izdelek se trenutno uvršča v oznako KN ex39046100.
The product concerned, and the PTFE produced and sold in the Community by the Community industry, the PTFE produced and sold on the domestic market of both exporting countries and the PTFE produced and sold on the domestic market of the analogue country were found to have essentially the same physical and technical characteristics and the same basic uses.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imajo zadevni izdelek ter PTFE, ki ga v Skupnosti izdeluje in prodaja industrija Skupnosti, PTFE, ki se izdeluje in prodaja na domačem trgu obeh držav izvoznic, in PTFE, ki se izdeluje in prodaja na domačem trgu primerljive države, v glavnem enake fizikalne in tehnične značilnosti in enako osnovno uporabo.
They are therefore provisionally considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Začasno se zato šteje, da so ti izdelki enaki v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
The two importers claimed that for certain applications, the product imported from Russia and China is not in competition at all with the PTFE produced and sold in the Community market.
Dva uvoznika sta trdila, da na določenih področjih uporabe sploh ne gre za konkurenco med izdelkom, uvoženim iz Rusije in Kitajske, in PTFE, ki se izdeluje in prodaja na trgu Skupnosti.
This concerns mainly PTFE scrap or ‘off-spec’ which is used to produce fine particle size PTFE.
To zadeva predvsem ostanke PTFE ali „neustrezni PTFE“, ki se uporablja za izdelavo PTFE iz zelo majhnih delcev.
This fine particle size product is used e.g. as an additive in processing plastics or in printing inks as well as in coatings for metals.
Ta se uporablja npr. kot dodatek pri obdelavi plastičnih mas ali pri tiskarskih barvah ter pri premazih za kovine.
This had to be rejected, as it was found that the Community industry also produces scrap or ‘off-spec’ material which is sold to the same customers.
To trditev je bilo treba zavreči, saj je bilo ugotovljeno, da tudi industrija Skupnosti izdeluje ostanke ali „neustrezni PTFE“ in ga prodaja istim uporabnikom.
Below, the general methodology is described.
Spodaj je opis splošne metodologije.
The subsequent presentation of the findings on dumping for the countries concerned therefore only describes issues specific to each exporting country.
Zatem sledijo ugotovitve glede dampinga v zvezi z zadevnimi državami, ki obravnavajo samo posebna vprašanja posamezne države izvoznice.
In accordance with Article 2(2) of the Basic Regulation, it was first examined for each cooperating exporting producer whether its domestic sales of PTFE were representative, i.e. whether the total volume of such sales represented at least 5 % of the total export sales volume of the producer to the Community.
V skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe se je pri vsakem sodelujočem proizvajalcu izvozniku najprej proučilo, ali je njegova prodaja PTFE na domači trg reprezentativna, tj. ali celotni obseg te prodaje predstavlja vsaj 5 % celotnega izvoza proizvajalca na trg Skupnosti.
The Commission subsequently identified those types of PTFE sold domestically that were identical or directly comparable with the types sold for export to the Community.
Komisija je zatem opredelila tiste vrste PTFE, namenjene prodaji na domačem trgu, ki so identične ali neposredno primerljive z vrstami, namenjenimi prodaji na trg Skupnosti.
With regard to the examination on a product type basis, the Commission considered as identical or directly comparable the product types sold domestically and exported, which were of similar average particle size, thermo treatment and co-monomer content.
Glede proučitve po vrsti izdelka je Komisija štela, da so identične ali neposredno primerljive tiste vrste izdelka, namenjene prodaji doma in prodaji na tuji trg, ki so si podobne po povprečni velikosti delcev, toplotni obdelavi in deležu komonomera.
For each type sold by the exporting producers on their domestic markets and found to be directly comparable with the type of PTFE sold for export to the Community, it was established whether domestic sales were sufficiently representative for the purposes of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation.
Pri vsaki vrsti, ki so jo proizvajalci izvozniki prodali na domačem trgu in za katero je bilo ugotovljeno, da je neposredno primerljiva z vrsto PTFE, ki je bila izvožena na trg Skupnosti, se je ugotovljalo, ali je domača prodaja zadosti reprezentativna za namene člena 2(2) osnovne uredbe.
Domestic sales of a particular type of PTFE were considered sufficiently representative when the total domestic sales volume of that type during the IP represented 5 % or more of the total sales volume of the comparable type of PTFE exported to the Community.
Domača prodaja določene vrste PTFE se je štela za zadosti reprezentativno, kadar je celotni obseg domače prodaje navedene vrste v obdobju preiskave predstavljal 5 % ali več celotnega obsega prodaje primerljive vrste PTFE, izvožene v Skupnost.
The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of each type of PTFE, sold domestically in representative quantities could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade in accordance with Article 2(4) of the Basic Regulation, by establishing the proportion of profitable sales to independent customers of the PTFE type in question.
Komisija je zatem proučila, ali domača prodaja posamezne vrste PTFE, prodane na domačem trgu v reprezentativnih količinah, lahko sodi v običajni potek trgovanja v skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe, in sicer tako, da je določila delež donosne prodaje neodvisnim odjemalcem zadevne vrste PTFE.
Since the sales volume of each PTFE type, sold at a net sales price equal to or above the calculated cost of production, represented more than 80 % of the total sales volume of that type, and the weighted average price of that type was equal to or above the cost of production, normal value was based on the actual domestic price, calculated as a weighted average of the prices of all domestic sales of that type made during the IP, irrespective of whether these sales were profitable or not.
Ker je obseg prodaje vsake posamezne vrste PTFE, prodane po neto prodajni ceni, ki je enaka izračunanim proizvodnim stroškom ali je višja od njih, presegal 80 % celotnega obsega prodaje navedene vrste in je bilo tehtano povprečje cene navedene vrste enako proizvodnim stroškom ali višje od njih, je normalna vrednost temeljila na dejanski domači ceni, izračunani kot tehtano povprečje cen vse prodaje navedene vrste na domačem trgu v obdobju preiskave, ne glede na to, ali je bila ta prodaja donosna ali ne.
In all cases the export price was established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the Basic Regulation, namely on the basis of export prices actually paid or payable.
V vseh primerih je bila izvozna cena določena v skladu s členom 2(8) osnovne uredbe, in sicer na podlagi izvoznih cen, ki so bile dejansko plačane ali se plačujejo.
The normal value and export prices were compared on an ex-works basis.
Normalna vrednost in izvozne cene so se primerjale na podlagi cene izdelka franko tovarna.
For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences affecting prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Za zagotovitev pravične primerjave med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno je bila v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe omogočena uskladitev zaradi razlik, ki vplivajo na cene in primerljivost cen.
Appropriate adjustments were granted in all cases where they were found to be reasonable, accurate and supported by verified evidence.
Ustrezne uskladitve so se odobrile v vseh primerih, kjer je bila ugotovljena njihova upravičenost, točnost in podprtost s preverjenimi dokazi.
According to Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation the dumping margin for each exporting producer was established on the basis of a comparison between the weighted average normal value with the weighted average export price per product type.
V skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe se je stopnja dampinga za vsakega posameznega proizvajalca izvoznika določila s primerjavo tehtanega povprečja normalne vrednosti in tehtanega povprečja izvozne cene za vrsto izdelka.
Market Economy Treatment (MET)
Status subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu
In anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of Article 2 of the basic Regulation for those producers which were found to meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
V preiskavah o dampinškem uvozu izdelka s poreklom iz LRK se normalna vrednost določi v skladu z odstavki 1 do 6 člena 2 osnovne uredbe za tiste proizvajalce, ki izpolnjujejo merila, določena v členu 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe.
Briefly, and for ease of reference only, the criteria in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, fulfilment of which the applicant companies have to demonstrate, are set out in summarised form below:
Na kratko in zgolj zaradi lažjega sklicevanja so spodaj povzeta merila iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe, katerih izpolnjevanje morajo družbe vlagateljice dokazati:
business decisions and costs are made in response to market conditions, and without significant State interference;
poslovne odločitve in stroški nastajajo kot odziv na tržne razmere in brez večjega vmešavanja države;
accounting records are independently audited in line with international accounting standards and applied for all purposes;
računovodska evidenca se uporablja za vse namene, revizija je neodvisna in v skladu z mednarodnimi računovodskimi standardi;
there are no significant distortions carried over from the former non-market economy system;
ni znatnejših izkrivljanj, ki se prenašajo iz nekdanjega sistema netržnega gospodarstva;
legal certainty and stability are provided by bankruptcy and property laws;
pravno varnost in stabilnost zagotavljata stečajna zakonodaja in premoženjsko pravo;
currency exchanges are carried out at the market rate.
devizna menjava poteka po tržnem menjalnem tečaju.
Three exporting producers in the PRC requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation and replied to the MET claim form for exporting producers.
Trije proizvajalci izvozniki iz LRK so zahtevali status subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu v skladu s členom 2(7)(b) osnovne uredbe in so izpolnili ustrezen obrazec za zahtevek.
For these companies, the Commission sought and verified at the premises of these companies all information submitted in the MET applications and deemed necessary.
Komisija je v prostorih teh družb iskala in preverila vse podatke, ki so bili predloženi v zahtevku za status subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu in so se ji zdeli potrebni.
The investigation showed that none of the three companies mentioned above fulfilled the criteria required and their claims had to be rejected.
Preiskava je pokazala, da nobena od treh zgoraj navedenih družb ne izpolnjuje zahtevanih meril, zato je bilo treba njihove zahtevke zavrniti.
The following table summarises the determination for the three companies against each of the five criteria as set out in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Naslednja preglednica povzema ugotovitve glede treh družb po posameznih merilih iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe.
The companies concerned were given an opportunity to comment on the above findings.
Zadevna podjetja so imela možnost dati pripombe na zgornje ugotovitve.
All three companies disagreed with the determinations made and claimed that they should be granted MET.
Vse tri družbe so nasprotovale ugotovitvam in trdile, da bi jim moral biti odobren status subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu.
One company questioned whether the Commission’s practice of assessing MET on the basis of the five criteria laid by Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation could be regarded in line with GATT/WTO provisions.
Ena družba je podvomila, da bi bila praksa Komisije, da o statusu subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu presoja na podlagi petih meril iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe, v skladu z določili GATT/STO.
It was further argued that the Commission based its decisions on indications and presumptions, and that Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation was not applied in an objective way.
Trdila je tudi, da Komisija svoje odločitve opira na navedbe in domneve ter da se člen 2(7) osnovne uredbe ne uporablja objektivno.
In this respect it should be noted that the current investigation, including the assessment of whether an exporting producer operates under market economy conditions, is made in accordance with the applicable provisions of the basic Regulation, which are fully in line with WTO obligations.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da se sedanja preiskava vključno z oceno, ali proizvajalec izvoznik posluje po pogojih tržnega gospodarstva, izvaja v skladu z veljavnimi določbami osnovne uredbe, ki so v celoti v skladu z obveznostmi STO.
As acknowledged by the Court of First Instance, the burden of proof is on the exporting producer to demonstrate that it fulfils the conditions laid down in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Kot je potrdilo Sodišče prve stopnje, mora proizvajalec izvoznik sam dokazati, da izpolnjuje pogoje iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe.
If no such evidence has been provided the claim for MET must be rejected.
Če takšni dokazi niso predloženi, je treba zahtevek za status subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu zavrniti.
Such conclusion is made on the basis of an objective analysis of substantiated evidence, as disclosed to the companies concerned, and subject to judicial review.
Takšen sklep izhaja iz objektivne analize utemeljenih dokazov, kakor so bili razkriti zadevnim družbam, in je predmet upravnega spora.
Concerning the first criterion, i.e. that business decisions are made in response to market signals, without significant State interference, and costs reflect market values, it was concluded that there was no evidence that the Articles of Association of one company were adhered to.
V zvezi s prvim merilom, tj. poslovne odločitve nastajajo kot odziv na tržne razmere in brez večjega vmešavanja države ter da stroški odražajo tržne vrednosti, je bilo sklenjeno, da ni dokazano upoštevanje statuta ene od družb.
Therefore, no evidence was available that this company’s decisions could not be significantly influenced by the State, including through the State-owned shareholder.
Ni bilo torej dokaza, da država ne bi mogla znatneje vplivati na odločitve te družbe, tudi prek delničarja v lasti države.
The company objected to the Commission’s conclusions arguing that its Articles of Association offer a reliable guarantee that the State may not exert a significant influence in its decisions and that, in any event, the State-owned shareholder is a trustee acting on behalf of a private company.
Družba je ugovarjala sklepom Komisije in je trdila, da je njen statut zanesljivo jamstvo, ki preprečuje znatnejši vpliv države na njene odločitve, ter da je delničar v lasti države fiduciar, ki nastopa v imenu zasebne družbe.
However, the Articles of Association of the company stipulate its organisation and decision-making procedures.
Toda statut družbe predpisuje organizacijo družbe in postopke odločanja.
Since the investigation revealed that such Articles of Association were not respected and could be easily changed by the company itself, it can reasonably be concluded that eventual provisions of such Articles of Association, seeking to ensure that the State cannot significantly influence the company’s decision, are unreliable and cannot provide any guarantee in that respect.
Ker je preiskava razkrila, da se ta statut ne spoštuje ter da ga družba lahko brez težav spreminja, se lahko upravičeno sklepa, da so morebitne določbe takšnega statuta, ki naj bi preprečevale znatnejši vpliv države na odločitve družbe, nezanesljive in tega ne zagotavljajo.
In addition, the company did not provide any explanation, other than ‘visibility’, as to why the State-owned trust fund was its actual shareholder.
Družba pri pojasnjevanju, zakaj je fiduciar v lasti države njen delničar, tudi ni navedla drugega razloga razen „vidljivosti“.
On the contrary, it was argued during the on-the-spot verification that this would allow the company, inter alia, a better access to financing in the future.
Nasprotno, med preverjanjem v njenih prostorih je trdila, da ji bo to med drugim omogočilo lažji dostop do finančnih sredstev v prihodnosti.
The risk of State interference was therefore deemed significant.
Zato se je štelo, da je tveganje zaradi vmešavanja države precejšnje.
The company further argued that, contrary to the Commission services’ conclusions, prices of its raw materials did reflect market values.
Družba je tudi dokazovala, da v nasprotju s sklepi služb Komisije cene njenih surovin odražajo tržne vrednosti.
Besides the fact that no evidence was submitted that this was the case, comparable purchases of raw materials were made at different prices, without the company being able to give any reasonable explanation as to these important differences.
O tem ni predložila nobenega dokaza, poleg tega so bile ugotovljene precejšnje razlike v cenah primerljivih nakupov surovin, ne da bi družba to znala primerno pojasniti.
Therefore, it had to be concluded that the exporting producer did not provide sufficient information that it was operating under market economy conditions.
Zato je bilo treba skleniti, da proizvajalec izvoznik ni predložil zadostnih podatkov o tem, da posluje po pogojih tržnega gospodarstva.
None of the arguments brought forward by the company concerned subsequent to the disclosure could reverse this conclusion and the claim had to be rejected.
Nobeno dokazovanje zadevne družbe po razkritju ni moglo spremeniti tega sklepa in zahtevek je bilo treba zavrniti.
One company argued that the absence of a minimum quorum in the shareholders meeting, which allows the State-owned shareholder to significantly influence the company’s decisions, was not relevant as such meeting was not responsible for operational decisions.
Ena družba je zatrjevala, da odsotnost sklepčnosti na skupščini delničarjev, kar delničarju v državni lasti omogoča znatnejše vplivanje na odločitve družbe, ni pomembna, saj takšna skupščina ni odgovorna za poslovne odločitve.
Nevertheless, State influence is relevant not only when it relates to operational decisions.
Vendar vpliv države ni pomemben samo v zvezi s poslovnimi odločitvami.
In addition, according to the company’s Articles of Association, the shareholders meeting is competent, inter alia, to decide on business operation and investment plans, to examine and approve the financial budget and final accounts, as well as the plan for the company’s profit distribution.
Poleg tega je po statutu družbe skupščina delničarjev pristojna med drugim za odločitve o poslovanju in investicijskih programih, za proučitev in odobritev finančnega proračuna in zaključnih računov ter načrtovane delitve dobička družbe.
Hence, the State can significantly influence the company’s decisions on such important matters.
Država lahko torej znatneje vpliva na odločitve družbe pri tako pomembnih zadevah.
It was also argued that the fact that export sales were made via a partly State-owned trader during half of the IP, did not constitute a reason to conclude that there was State interference.
Družba je tudi dokazovala, da se na podlagi dejstva, da je polovico obdobja preiskave izvoz potekal prek trgovca v delni lasti države, ne more sklepati na vmešavanje države.
In this respect, it should be noted that this trader was involved in sales of the product concerned (including signing contracts, receiving payments and invoicing to customers), but did not submit a MET claim.
Glede tega je treba opozoriti, da čeprav je ta trgovec sodeloval pri prodaji zadevnega izdelka (vključno s podpisovanjem pogodb, prejemanjem plačil in izdajanjem računov odjemalcem), ni predložil zahtevka za status subjekta v tržnem gospodarstvu.
