It is correct that it is the Institutions usual practice that the complainant Community producers who failed to cooperate satisfactorily during the investigation will normally be excluded from the definition of the Community industry, and that the aforementioned thresholds should also be fulfilled at the time when measures are adopted.
Res je, da je običajna praksa institucij, da se proizvajalce, ki med preiskavo ne sodelujejo zadovoljivo, izključi iz opredelitve industrije Skupnosti, in da morajo biti prej omenjene zgornje meje izpolnjene v času sprejetja ukrepov.
However, in this case, none of the 814 Community producers was found not to cooperate satisfactorily with the investigation.
Vendar v obravnavanem primeru nobeden od 814 proizvajalcev Skupnosti med preiskavo ni sodeloval nezadovoljivo.
As a matter of fact and as clearly outlined in the notice of initiation, questionnaires were only sent to the sampled Community producers, and replies were received from all of them.
Vprašalniki so bili, kot je jasno zapisano v obvestilu o začetku, dejansko poslani samo vzorčenim proizvajalcem Skupnosti, ki so nanje tudi odgovorili.
Therefore if the non-sampled complainant producers did not submit any reply to the questionnaire for sampled producers, it is simply explained by the fact that they were not requested to do so.
Če nevzorčeni proizvajalci pritožniki niso predložili odgovorov na vprašalnike, je bilo to zato, ker jim ti sploh niso bili poslani.
It follows from the very nature of sampling that full injury questionnaires are only sent to the sampled complainant Community producers and, according to the provisions of Article 6(2) of the basic Regulation, only parties receiving a questionnaire should provide a reply.
Zaradi same narave vzorčenja se celotni vprašalniki glede škode pošljejo samo vzorčenim proizvajalcem Skupnosti pritožnikom, na podlagi člena 6(2) osnovne uredbe pa morajo odgovor predložiti samo stranke, ki prejmejo vprašalnik.
The claims made by the various interested parties were rejected on the basis of the above elements, and the conclusions set out in recital 152 of the provisional Regulation is confirmed: the 814 complainant Community producers are deemed to constitute the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation, and they are hereinafter referred to as the ‘Community industry’.
Zahtevki številnih zainteresiranih strank so bili na podlagi zgoraj navedenih elementov zavrnjeni in potrdijo se sklepne ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave 152 začasne uredbe: za 814 proizvajalcev Skupnosti pritožnikov velja, da predstavljajo industrijo Skupnosti v smislu člena 4(1) in člena 5(4) osnovne uredbe in bodo v nadaljnjem besedilu imenovani kot „industrija Skupnosti“.
One exporter questioned the level of the Community consumption, on the basis that it appears to be lower in Europe than in developing countries.
En izvoznik je dvomil o ravni potrošnje Skupnosti, ki naj bi bila v Evropi očitno nižja kot v državah v razvoju.
This claim was however not further substantiated, and thus rejected.
Ta trditev ni bila dodatno utemeljena, zato je bila zavrnjena.
In the absence of other claims, the methodology used for the calculation of the Community consumption is hereby confirmed.
Ker ni bilo drugih zahtev, se potrdi metodologija, uporabljena za izračun potrošnje Skupnosti.
The apparent Community consumption including children's footwear developed as follows:
Očitna potrošnja Skupnosti, ki vključuje tudi otroško obutev, se je razvijala na naslednji način:
Source: Eurostat, information contained in the complaint.
Vir: Eurostat in podatki v pritožbi.
This development is comparable to the consumption established at provisional stage, i.e. excluding children's footwear.
Ta razvoj je primerljiv s potrošnjo, ugotovljeno v začasni fazi, tj. brez otroške obutve.
Cumulative assessment of the effects of the dumped imports concerned
Kumulativna presoja vpliva zadevnega dampinškega uvoza
The table below shows the import volumes, market shares and average unit prices of both countries concerned individually, including children's footwear:
Spodnja tabela kaže obseg uvoza, tržne deleže in povprečne cene na enoto za obe zadevni držav posebej, vključno z otroško obutvijo:
market shares
tržni deleži
PRC EUR/pair
LRK EUR/par
Certain interested parties claimed that the cumulative assessment is not warranted.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so zatrjevale, da kumulativna ocena ni utemeljena.
This allegation is based on the fact that trends in import volume and prices differ between China and Vietnam.
Ta trditev temelji na dejstvu, da se gibanja obsega uvoza in cen med Kitajsko in Vietnamom razlikujejo.
In addition it was claimed that Vietnam is one of the world's poorest countries, benefiting from the Generalised System of Preference (‘GSP’), and that it should therefore not be cumulated with China for the injury assessment.
Poleg se je trdilo, da je Vietnam ena najrevnejših držav na svetu, ki uživa ugodnosti splošnega sistema tarifnih preferencialov („GSP“), in ga zato pri oceni škode ne bi smeli obravnavati skupaj s Kitajsko.
The first claim was already made previously and duly addressed in the provisional Regulation.
Prva trditev je bila podana že pred tem in v začasni uredbi tudi ustrezno obravnavana.
More specifically, concerning import trends in terms of volume and prices, the table in recital 160 of the provisional Regulation clearly indicated that those trends followed similar patterns.
Glede uvoznih gibanj v smislu obsega in cen, tabela iz uvodne izjave 160 začasne uredbe jasno kaže, da imata obe gibanji podoben vzorec.
It is also noted that the inclusion of children's footwear does not alter those trends.
Opozarja se tudi, da vključitev otroške obutve teh gibanj ne spremeni.
In any event, and in addition to those import trends, the provisional Regulation set out in detail the various reasons why the cumulative assessment is appropriate in the light of the conditions of competition between imported and the like Community product.
Poleg navedenih uvoznih gibanjih pa je bilo v začasni uredbi natančno pojasnjeno, zakaj je kumulativna ocena ustrezna glede na pogoje konkurence med uvoženim izdelkom in podobnimi izdelkom Skupnosti.
This is for example because imported products are alike in terms of their basic characteristics, interchangeable from the consumer's point of view and distributed via the same distribution channels.
Na primer zato, ker so si uvoženi izdelki podobni v smislu osnovnih lastnosti, zamenljivi z vidika potrošnikov in se prodajajo in kupujejo prek istih distribucijskih poti.
As concerns Vietnam, there is no provision in the basic Regulation stipulating that one of the countries simultaneously subject to anti-dumping investigations should not be cumulated because of its overall economic situation.
Kar zadeva Vietnam, osnovna uredba ne vsebuje nobene določbe o tem, da ene od držav, ki so istočasno predmet protidampinške preiskave, ne bi vključili v kumulativno oceno zaradi njenega splošnega gospodarskega položaja.
More specifically, such an interpretation would also not be in line with the object and purpose of the provisions on cumulation which focus on whether the imports from the various sources compete with each other and the like Community product.
Taka razlaga tudi ne bi bila v skladu ciljem in namenom določb o kumulaciji, pri katerih je pomembno, ali blago, uvoženo iz različnih virov, konkurira med seboj in podobnim izdelkom Skupnosti.
In other words, the characteristics of the traded products matter but not the situation of the country from which the imports originate.
Povedano drugače, pomembne so lastnosti prodajanega izdelka, ne pa položaj države, iz katere je blago uvoženo.
The situation of the exporting country has to be addressed in conformity with the provisions of Article 15 of the ADA and the basic Regulation but not in the context of cumulation.
Položaj izvozne države je treba obravnavati v skladu z določbami člena 15 Protidampinškega sporazuma in osnovne uredbe, ne pa v okviru kumulacije.
An association of importers also claimed that the cumulation is not warranted on the grounds that the product mix of the two countries concerned is different.
Neko združenje uvoznikov je trdilo tudi, da kumulacija ni utemeljena zaradi različne ponudbe blaga obeh zadevnih držav.
In this respect, it is considered that even though certain differences in product mix may exist between both countries, there is still a significant overlap, and thus it is considered that overall the product concerned originating in China and in Vietnam do overall compete against each other.
V zvezi s tem velja, da se kljub nekaterim razlikam med obema državama njuna ponudba blaga še vedno znatno prekriva, zato se šteje, da si zadevni izdelki s poreklom s Kitajske in iz Vietnama med seboj na splošno konkurirajo.
Reference is also made to the above conclusions that all types of the product concerned should be considered as one single product for the purpose of this proceeding, and that all types of leather footwear produced and sold by the Community industry are alike to those exported from the countries concerned to the Community.
Navaja se tudi sklic na zgornje sklepne ugotovitve, da se za namen tega postopka vse vrste zadevnega izdelka štejejo kot en izdelek in da so vse vrste usnjene obutve, ki jo je proizvedla in prodala industrija Skupnosti, podobne tisti obutvi, ki se izvaža iz zadevnih držav v Skupnost.
This argument was therefore rejected.
Ta utemeljitev je bila zato zavrnjena.
On the basis of the provisional findings set out in recitals 156 to 162 of the provisional Regulation and the above, it is hereby definitively concluded that all conditions of cumulation set out in Article 3(4) of the basic Regulation are met and that accordingly the effect of the dumped imports originating in the countries concerned should be assessed jointly for the purpose of the injury analysis.
Na podlagi začasnih ugotovitev iz uvodnih izjav 156 do 162 začasne uredbe in na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se dokončno sklene, da so izpolnjeni vsi pogoji za kumulacijo iz člena 3(4) osnovne uredbe in da se mora temu ustrezno učinek dampinškega uvoza s poreklom iz zadevnih držav za namen analize škode oceniti skupaj.

The trends and absolute figures are comparable to those analysed at provisional stage: the import volume more than doubled, and the market share significantly expanded from 9,3 % in 2001 to 23,2 % during the IP.
Gibanja in absolutne številke so primerljivi s tistimi, analiziranimi v začasni fazi: obseg uvoza je več kot podvojen, tržni delež pa se je znatno povečal, in sicer z 9,3 % v 2001 na 23,2 % med OP.
It should be noted that there is a significant overlap between 2004 and IP (April 2004 to March 2005), and therefore the above table shows that there was an acceleration of imports during the first quarter of 2005.
Treba je opozoriti, da se leto 2004 in OP znatno prekrivata (od aprila 2004 do marca 2005), zato zgornja tabela kaže povečanje uvoza v prvi četrtini leta 2005.
As can be seen from the above table, this is particularly due to the development of the Chinese imports.
Kot je mogoče razbrati iz zgornje tabele, je razlog za to gibanje kitajskega uvoza.
Import prices, including children's footwear, decreased by almost 30 % during the period considered, similarly to what was established at provisional stage.
Uvozne cene, vključno z otroško obutvijo, so se v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za skoraj 30 %, kar je podobno ugotovitvam v začasni fazi.
Certain importers claimed that the decrease of the import prices is explained by changes in the product-mix.
Nekateri uvozniki so trdili, da je navedeni padec uvoznih cen posledica sprememb v ponudbi izdelka.
This was however not substantiated and was also not confirmed by the investigation.
Vendar to ni bilo utemeljeno in raziskava tega tudi ni potrdila.
This claim was therefore rejected.
Zato je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
Comments by the interested parties
Pripombe zainteresiranih strank
Certain interested claimed a breach of Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation on the grounds that the Commission did not carry out an objective examination of the volume and the prices of the dumped imports.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so trdile, da je kršen člen 3(2) osnovne uredbe, ker naj bi Komisija ne izvedla objektivne preiskave obsega in cen dampinškega uvoza.
They justified their allegation on the grounds that external factors such as the lifting of the import quota, development of exchange rate, alleged changes in product mix and fashion development have not been taken into consideration when examining import trends.
Svojo trditev so utemeljili na dejstvu, da pri proučitvi uvoznih gibanj niso bili upoštevani zunanji dejavniki, kot so odprava uvozne kvote, gibanje menjalnega tečaja, domnevne spremembe v ponudbi izdelka in modni trendi.
Specifically concerning the lifting of the quota, this claim was already addressed in recital 165 of the provisional Regulation.
Ta trditev je bila, zlasti kar zadeva odpravo kvot, obravnavana že v uvodni izjavi 165 začasne uredbe.
It is acknowledged that the lifting of the quota had exacerbated the import trends to a certain extent.
Priznava se, da je odprava kvot v določeni meri poslabšala uvozna gibanja.
This should however also be seen in the light of the fact that only one of the two countries concerned was directly concerned by this quantitative limitation and that imports from Vietnam also followed increasing trends, that not all product types covered by this investigation were subject to quota, and finally that the total liberalisation of imports took place as of 1 January 2005, and therefore the IP (April 2004 to March 2005) was only partially affected.
Vendar je treba pri tem upoštevati dejstvo, da je ta količinska omejitev zadevala le eno od obeh zadevnih držav, da je uvoz iz Vietnama naraščal, da kvota ni veljala za vse vrste izdelka, ki jih zajema ta preiskava, in nenazadnje, da od 1. januarja 2005 velja popolna liberalizacija uvoza, kar pomeni, da je omejitev na OP vplivala le delno (od aprila 2004 do marca 2005).
More generally, Article 3(3) of the basic Regulation provides that the analysis of injury specifically includes the question whether there has been a significant increase of dumped imports, and whether there has been significant price undercutting, or whether the effect of the dumped imports is otherwise to depress prices to a significant degree or to prevent price increases which otherwise would have occurred.
Člen 3(3) osnovne uredbe na splošno določa, da analiza škode izrecno vključuje vprašanje, ali je prišlo do znatnega povečanja dampinškega uvoza in ali je prišlo do znatnega nelojalnega nižanja cen oziroma ali tak uvoz kako drugače v znatni meri pritiska na cene ali preprečuje zvišanja cen, do katerih bi sicer prišlo.
On this basis, it would appear that the sedes materiae of the aforementioned claims is in the context of causation.
Na tej podlagi se zdi, da je sedes materiae navedenih trditev v kontekstu vzročnosti.
Moreover, there is no explicit legal requirement in Article 3(3) of the basic Regulation that positive evidence should be given as the reasons why the volume of dumped imports increased, and the corresponding prices decreased.
Poleg tega v členu 3(3) osnovne uredbe ni izrecne pravne zahteve po navedbi pozitivnih dokazov v zvezi z razlogi za rast obsega dampinškega uvoza in padec ustreznih cen.
The claim that external factors should be taken into account in the examination of the dumped imports was therefore rejected.
Zahteva, da je treba pri proučitvi dampinškega uvoza upoštevati zunanje dejavnike, je bila zato zavrnjena.
Various comments were received with respect to the undercutting calculations.
V zvezi z izračunom nelojalnega nižanja cen je bilo prejetih več pripomb.
Those claims were analysed in detail, and the necessary amendments to the calculations have been applied where justified and supported by factual evidence.
Te zahteve so bile natančno analizirane; kadar pa so bile utemeljene in podprte z dejanskimi dokazi, so bile narejene potrebne spremembe izračunov.
It is recalled that at the provisional stage adjustments to the import price were made which reflected the estimated costs that are incurred in the Community by the importers, such as design, selection of raw material etc., and which would otherwise not be reflected in the import price.
Opominja se, da so bile v začasni fazi opravljene prilagoditve uvozne cene, s čimer bi se upoštevali ocenjeni stroški, ki so jih v Skupnosti imeli uvozniki, kot so oblikovanje, izbira surovin itd., ki jih uvozna cena sicer ne bi odražala.
Various importers requested this adjustment.
To prilagoditev so zahtevali številni uvozniki.
An estimated adjustment of 15 % was applied at the provisional stage.
V začasni fazi je veljala ocenjena prilagoditev v višini 15 %.
The association representing the Community industry however contested such adjustment, and more specifically the level of the adjustment applied.
Združenje, ki predstavlja industrijo Skupnosti, pa je tej prilagoditvi in zlasti njeni višini ugovarjalo.
While they conceded that certain costs are indeed incurred at the level of the importers, the association contested the fact that all importers indeed incur such costs.
Priznavali so, da so uvozniki dejansko imeli določene stroške, obenem pa nasprotovali dejstvu, da to velja za vse uvoznike.
Moreover, they claimed that the level of the adjustment might be justified in the case of STAF importers (incurring high R&D expenses) but, given that such footwear was excluded from the proceeding, the level of the adjustment should be revised downwards.
Trdili so celo, da bi višino prilagoditve morda bilo mogoče utemeljiti v primeru uvoznikov STAF (ki imajo visoke stroške za R&R), vendar bi bilo treba prilagoditev glede na to, da je bila takšna obutev izključena iz postopka, popraviti navzdol.
This claim has been carefully examined, and the following conclusions were drawn.
Ta zahteva je bila natančno proučena in sklenjeno je bilo naslednje.
Firstly as concerns the adjustment in itself, it was requested by many importers and, in principle, not opposed by the Community industry.
Kar zadeva prilagoditev samo, so jo zahtevali številni uvozniki in načeloma industrija Skupnosti ni ugovarjala.
As to the level of the adjustment, it should be noted that although many importers did indeed request such adjustment, only one importer, which was also subject to a verification visit, submitted detailed information in that respect.
Glede višine prilagoditve pa je treba opozoriti, da je kljub temu, da so prilagoditev zahtevali številni uvozniki, natančne podatke s tem v zvezi predložil samo eden, pri katerem je bil opravljen tudi preveritveni obisk.
The other importers of the product concerned could not support the claim that their level of R&D costs reached the level of the adjustment applied at a provisional stage.
Drugi uvozniki zadevnega izdelka niso mogli podpreti trditve, da je njihova raven stroškov za R&R dosegla višino prilagoditve, uporabljene v začasni fazi.
It should be noted that some importers subject to a verification visit mostly traded STAF.
Opozoriti je treba, da je nekaj uvoznikov, pri katerih je bil opravljen preveritveni obisk, prodajalo predvsem obutev STAF.
As STAF is now definitively excluded from the product scope, their figures were ultimately not relevant for the purpose of the adjustment.
Ker pa je STAF zdaj dokončno izključen iz obsega izdelka, njihovi podatki za namen prilagoditve niso bili pomembni.
At the definitive stage, in the absence of substantiated claims by the vast majority of the importers (irrespective of whether or not subject to a verification visit), the level of the adjustment has been revised downwards, and estimated on the basis of the only substantiated data that was made available during the investigation.
Ob odsotnosti utemeljenih zahtevkov velike večine uvoznikov (ne glede na to, ali so bili pri njih opravljeni preveritveni obiski), je bila v zaključni fazi stopnja prilagoditve popravljena navzdol in določena na osnovi edinih utemeljenih informacij, ki so bile med preiskavo dane na razpolago.
On the basis of the above the revised undercutting margins found, by country, and expressed as a percentage of the Community industry's prices, are as follows:
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega so popravljene stopnje nelojalnega nižanja cen zadevnih držav izražene kot odstotek cen industrije Skupnosti, naslednje:
Price Undercutting
Nelojalno nižanje cen
On weighted average 13,5 %
tehtano povprečje 13,5 %
On weighted average 15,9 %
tehtano povprečje 15,9 %
PECULIARITIES OF THE FOOTWEAR SECTOR IN THE COMMUNITY
POSEBNOSTI OBUTVENEGA SEKTORJA V SKUPNOSTI
In the provisional Regulation, certain information was given with respect to the peculiarities of the footwear sector in the Community.
Začasna uredba je vsebovala nekatere informacije v zvezi s posebnostmi obutvenega sektorja v Skupnosti.
Various interested parties claimed that such data should not be taken into consideration because they are either not reliable, or that they do not exclusively refer to the situation of the Community industry, thus have no legal basis.
Številne zainteresirane stranke so trdile, da teh informacij ne bi smeli upoštevati, ker bodisi niso zanesljive bodisi se ne nanašajo izrecno na položaj industrije Skupnosti in tako nimajo pravne osnove.
In this respect, it should be clarified that the information in recitals 169 to 173 of the provisional Regulation was provided only for indicative purposes, in order to provide a better understanding of the Community footwear sector.
S tem v zvezi je treba pojasniti, da so bile informacije v uvodnih izjavah 169 do 173 začasne uredbe le okvirne in namenjene boljšemu razumevanju obutvenega sektorja Skupnosti.
It should be noted however that the findings concerning injury are made in relation to the Community industry as defined above and that no further reference to this information will be made in the injury analysis.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da se ugotovitve v zvezi s škodo nanašajo na industrijo Skupnosti, kot je opredeljeno zgoraj, in da analiza škode ne bo vsebovala nadaljnjega sklicevanja na to informacijo.
SITUATION OF THE COMMUNITY INDUSTRY
RAZMERE V INDUSTRIJI SKUPNOSTI
As already mentioned above, the injury analysis at the definitive stage includes data related to children's footwear.
Kot je že bilo omenjeno, analiza škode v zaključni fazi vključuje podatke v zvezi z otroško obutvijo.
As mentioned in the recital 175 of the provisional Regulation, and following the usual practice, the injury indicators have been established either at macro-economic level (based on data for the whole Community industry) or at micro-economic levels (based on data of the sampled companies).
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 175 začasne uredbe in v skladu z običajno prakso se kazalniki škode ugotavljajo bodisi na makroekonomski ravni (na podlagi podatkov celotne industrije Skupnosti) bodisi na mikroekonomskih ravneh (na podlagi podatkov vzorčenih družb).
For the sake of coherence, injury indicators are established exclusively at one of those two levels, but not at both.
Zaradi skladnosti se kazalniki škode ugotavljajo izključno na eni od teh ravni, nikoli pa na obeh.
Source: information established during the investigation.
Vir: podatki, ugotovljeni med preiskavo
The production volume of the overall Community industry went down from 267 million pairs in 2001 to 176 million pairs during the investigation period.
Obseg proizvodnje celotne industrije Skupnosti se je z 267 milijonov parov leta 2001 zmanjšal na 176 milijonov parov v obdobju preiskave.
