The Chinese exporting producer did not explain in how far it did not agree to these conclusions, nor did it support its statement with any other explanations.
Kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik ni niti razložil, v kolikšni meri se ni strinjal s temi sklepi, niti ni utemeljil svoje izjave s katerimi koli drugimi razlagami.
The claim therefore had to be rejected and the findings of recitals 108 and 109 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Zahtevek je bilo zato treba zavrniti, ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav (108) in (109) začasne uredbe pa se potrdijo.
Profitability, return on investments and cash flow
Dobičkonosnost, donosnost naložb in denarni tok
Some exporting producers also observed that there has been an increase in the Community industry’s profitability between 2003 and the IP, which would not have been considered in the provisional findings.
Nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki so pripomnili tudi, da se je med letom 2003 in OP dobičkonosnost industrije Skupnosti zvišala in da se tega v začasnih ugotovitvah ni upoštevalo.
This claim has to be rejected, given that the development of the Community industry’s profitability over the entire period considered was analysed in the provisional Regulation.
Ta zahtevek je bilo treba zavrniti, saj je bil v začasni uredbi proučen razvoj dobičkonosnosti v industriji Skupnosti v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
Thus, the increase in the profitability between 2003 and the IP could not reverse the conclusion of the overall significant decrease of profitability between 2001 and the IP, namely by 9,2 percentage points.
Zato povečanje dobičkonosnosti med letom 2003 in OP ni moglo spremeniti sklepa, da se je dobičkonosnost med letom 2001 in OP na splošno močno znižala, tj. za 9,2 odstotnih točk.
The profitability during the IP was only slightly above break even, i.e. at 0,1 %, and would have been even lower should the Community industry have maintained its prices, in which case it would have suffered loss of market share and sales volume.
Dobičkonosnost je bila med OP le nekoliko nad pokritjem stroškov, tj. 0,1 %, in bi bila celo nižja, če bi industrija Skupnosti obdržala svoje cene; v tem primeru bi utrpela izgubo tržnega deleža in obsega prodaje.
It was therefore concluded that this injury factor showed a clear negative trend during the period considered.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da je ta kazalnik škode odražal negativno gibanje v obravnavanem obdobju.
In the absence of any other comments in this particular regard, the findings of recitals 110 and 111 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav (110) in (111) začasne uredbe.
The Chinese as well as the two Russian exporting producers reiterated their arguments on the development of employment and productivity, suggesting that these factors would not point to material injury.
Kitajski in oba ruska proizvajalca izvoznika sta ponovno poudarila svoje utemeljitve v zvezi z razvojem zaposlovanja in produktivnosti ter izrazila mnenje, da ti dejavniki ne odražajo znatne škode.
In the absence of any new information in this regard, the provisional conclusions as set out in recital 112 of the provisional Regulation are maintained.
Ker kakršnih koli novih informacij v zvezi s tem ni bilo, se ohranijo začasne ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (112) začasne uredbe.
Increase in the Community industry’s exports
Povečanje izvoza industrije Skupnosti
Finally, the abovementioned exporting producers argued that the Community industry’s increasing export performance during the period considered would show that it did not suffer material injury.
Nazadnje so zgoraj omenjeni proizvajalci izvozniki trdili, da je vedno večji izvoz industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju dokaz, da ni utrpela znatne škode.
In this context, it should be clarified that recital 134 of the provisional Regulation erroneously indicated that the increase in exports was 3 % during the period considered.
V tem smislu je treba pojasniti, da je bilo v uvodni izjavi (134) začasne uredbe napačno navedeno, da se je izvoz v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 3 %.
Correctly, exports of the Community industry increased by 54 %.
Izvoz industrije Skupnosti se je dejansko povečal za 54 %.
However, as correctly indicated in the same recital of the provisional Regulation, these increased exports constituted only 12,7 % of the Community industry’s total sales volume during the IP.
Vendar, kakor je pravilno navedeno v isti uvodni izjavi začasne uredbe, je ta povečan izvoz predstavljal le 12,7 % skupnega obsega prodaje Skupnosti v OP.
Thus, it is confirmed that in absolute terms, the increase was not significant (namely roughly 250 tons).
Tako velja, da povečanje, izraženo absolutno, ni bilo znatno (tj. približno 250 ton).
Therefore, although increasing, export sales still represented only a small part of the Community industry’s total sales.
Zato je izvoz, kljub temu da je naraščal, še vedno predstavljal le majhen del celotne prodaje industrije Skupnosti.
On this basis, it was not considered as an indication that the Community industry was in good health.
Na tej podlagi je bilo sklenjeno, da povečanje izvoza ni znak dobrega stanja industrije Skupnosti.
In the absence of any comment in this particular regard, the findings in recital 113 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (113) začasne uredbe.
Magnitude of the dumping margin
Stopnja dampinga
In the absence of any comment in this particular regard, the findings in recital 114 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (114) začasne uredbe.
In the absence of any comment in this particular regard, the findings in recital 116 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (116) začasne uredbe.
Conclusions on injury
Sklepi o škodi
As far as the arguments of certain interested parties which were based on information submitted in the complaint are concerned, it should be noted that provisional findings were based on verified data of the Community producers during the IP.
Kolikor so utemeljitve nekaterih zainteresiranih strank temeljile na informacijah, predloženih v pritožbi, je treba opomniti, da so začasne ugotovitve temeljile na preverjenih podatkih proizvajalcev Skupnosti med OP.
On this basis, despite the positive trend of some injury factors, it was concluded that the overall financial situation of the Community industry has significantly declined during the period considered and that it had suffered material injury during the IP.
Na tej podlagi je bilo kljub pozitivnim gibanjem nekaterih kazalnikov škode sklenjeno, da se je splošno finančno stanje industrije Skupnosti občutno poslabšalo v obravnavanem obdobju in da je v OP utrpelo znatno škodo.
Therefore, the findings set out in recitals 101 to 120 of the provisional Regulation concerning the situation of the Community industry and the conclusion on injury are hereby confirmed.
Zato se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav (101) do (120) začasne uredbe glede položaja industrije Skupnosti ter sklep o škodi.
Effects on dumped imports
Vpliv na dampinški uvoz
In the absence of any comments in this particular respect, the findings in recitals 122 to 126 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav (122) do (126) začasne uredbe.
Development of consumption and demand
Razvoj potrošnje in povpraševanja
Some interested parties reiterated that the decline in consumption and demand on the Community market were price driving factors and have to be seen as the main cause for the decline of prices and profitability of the Community industry, rather than the dumped imports.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so ponovno poudarile, da sta bila potrošnja in povpraševanje na trgu Skupnosti dejavnika, ki sta oblikovala cene, in jih je zato treba namesto dampinškega uvoza obravnavati kot glavni vzrok za znižanje cen in dobičkonosnosti industrije Skupnosti.
These parties did not, however, provide any new information or evidence but simply repeated their claims made prior to the imposition of provisional duties.
Vendar te stranke niso predložile nobenih novih informacij ali dokazov, ampak so samo ponovile trditve, navedene že pred uvedbo začasnih dajatev.
It was also argued that a comparison between the decrease in consumption and the decrease of the Community market value as in recital 127 of the provisional Regulation is irrelevant since sales prices do not only depend on the development of consumption and demand but also on supply.
Prav tako so trdile, da je primerjava med zmanjšanjem potrošnje in tržne vrednosti Skupnosti kot v uvodni izjavi (127) začasne uredbe nepomembna, saj prodajne cene niso odvisne samo od razvoja potrošnje in povpraševanja, ampak tudi od ponudbe.
While it is not disputed that under normal competitive conditions prices are the result of supply and demand, it is recalled that in this case normal market conditions were distorted by uncompetitive behaviour, i.e. dumping practices.
Pod običajnimi konkurenčnimi pogoji velja, da so cene rezultat ponudbe in povpraševanja, vendar je treba opomniti, da je v tem primeru običajne tržne pogoje izkrivilo nekonkurenčno ravnanje, tj. dampinške prakse.
Thus, the investigation revealed significant dumping from all exporting producers during the IP and significant undercutting throughout the entire period considered, which caused high price pressure on the Community industry.
Tako je preiskava razkrila občuten damping vseh proizvajalcev izvoznikov v OP in občutno nelojalno nižanje cen v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, kar je povzročilo velik cenovni pritisk na industrijo Skupnosti.
As already highlighted in recital 129 of the provisional Regulation, import prices of Russia and the PRC decreased to a significantly higher degree than the Community consumption during the same period.
Kakor je bilo že poudarjeno v uvodni izjavi (129) začasne uredbe, so se uvozne cene iz Rusije in LRK znižale za občutno višjo stopnjo kot potrošnja Skupnosti v istem obdobju.
Furthermore, import prices from the countries under consideration continued to decrease significantly, while consumption remained relatively stable from 2002 onwards and even increased slightly.
Poleg tega so se uvozne cene iz obravnavanih držav še naprej občutno nižale, medtem ko je potrošnja od leta 2002 naprej ostala relativno stabilna in se celo nekoliko povečala.
At the same time, sales prices of imports from other third countries decreased to a much lesser degree than the import prices from Russia and the PRC.
Istočasno so se prodajne cene uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav znižale precej manj kot uvozne cene iz Rusije in LRK.
The direct correlation between the decrease in consumption and the Community industry’s prices could therefore not be established and it was concluded that the development of consumption could not have such an impact that the injury resulting from the dumped imports could no longer be classified as material.
Neposredna primerjava med zmanjšanjem potrošnje in znižanjem cen industrije Skupnosti se zato ni mogla vzpostaviti in sklenjeno je bilo, da razvoj potrošnje ni mogel imeti takšnega vpliva, da škode, nastale zaradi dampinškega uvoza, ne bi bilo mogoče označiti kot znatno škodo.
Indeed, the dumped imports represent a significant market share (about 35 %) and have been made at very low prices.
Dejansko dampinški uvoz predstavlja pomemben tržni delež (okoli 35 %), ki je bil pridobljen po zelo nizkih cenah.
Compared with this, the effect of the decrease in consumption, which moreover only occurred until 2002, is only fairly small.
V primerjavi s tem je učinek zmanjšanja porabe, ki je bil poleg tega prisoten le do leta 2002, precej majhen.
Moreover, the Community industry did not lose any economies of scale as a result of reduced consumption.
Poleg tega Komisija zaradi zmanjšane potrošnje ni izgubila ekonomije obsega.
This imbalance between the drop in prices and the decrease in consumption is also evidenced by the fact that the decrease in consumption was neither in line with the decrease of the Community market value of granular PTFE.
To nesorazmerje med padcem cen in zmanjšanjem potrošnje je tudi dejanski dokaz, da zmanjšanje potrošnje prav tako ni bilo v skladu z zmanjšanjem tržne vrednosti Skupnosti granuliranega PTFE.
Therefore, the comparison between market value and consumption was a valid, albeit not the only indicator with which to assess whether the price decline of the Community industry was due to the dumped imports.
Zato je bila primerjava med tržno vrednostjo in potrošnjo veljaven, vendar ne edini kazalnik za oceno, ali je dampinški uvoz vzrok za padec cen industrije Skupnosti.
In the absence of any other comment in this particular regard, the findings in recitals 127 to 129 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav (127) do (129) začasne uredbe.
Imports originating in third countries other than Russia and the PRC
Uvoz s poreklom iz tretjih držav, razen Rusije in LRK
In the absence of any comments in this particular regard, the findings in recital 130 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (130) začasne uredbe.
Performance of non-complainant Community producers
Poslovanje proizvajalcev Skupnosti, ki niso pritožniki
It was argued that while the non-complaining Community producers suffered injury, such injury was mainly translated into a loss of market share, rather than into a loss in profitability as in the case of the Community industry.
Trdilo se je, da so proizvajalci Skupnosti, ki niso pritožniki, sicer utrpeli škodo, vendar se je takšna škoda zlasti kazala v obliki izgube tržnega deleža in ne izgube dobičkonosnosti, kakor v primeru industrije Skupnosti.
On this basis, it was alleged that one and the same factor, i.e. the dumped imports could not have had such adverse effects on the Community producers’ situation, be it complainants or non-complainants.
Na tej podlagi se je trdilo, da en sam dejavnik, tj. dampinški uvoz, ni mogel imeti tako škodljivega učinka na stanje proizvajalcev Skupnosti, in sicer ne na pritožnike ne na tiste, ki niso pritožniki.
Consequently, it was claimed that the material injury suffered by the Community producers must have been caused by other factors.
Zato se je trdilo, da so znatno škodo, ki so jo utrpeli proizvajalci Skupnosti, povzročili drugi dejavniki.
This argument had to be rejected.
To utemeljitev je bilo treba zavrniti.
As mentioned in recital 103 of the provisional Regulation, producers, when faced with low-priced imports, have the choice to either maintain their sales prices at the expense of a negative development of their sales volume and market share, or to lower their sales prices in order to preserve, as far as possible, economies of scale and to defend their position in the market.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (103) začasne uredbe, imajo proizvajalci – ko se soočajo s poceni uvozom – izbiro, da obdržijo svoje prodajne cene na račun negativnega razvoja njihovega obsega prodaje in tržnega deleža ali znižajo svoje prodajne cene, da bi v največji možni meri ohranili ekonomijo obsega in svoj položaj na trgu.
It is therefore not unusual that different producers opt for different strategies and that the injury suffered by these producers is translated into the negative development of either their market share or their sales prices or a combination of both and a consequent loss of their profitability.
Zato ni nenavadno, da različni proizvajalci izberejo različne strategije in da se škoda, ki jo utrpijo ti proizvajalci, kaže v negativnem razvoju njihovega tržnega deleža ali njihovih prodajnih cen ali kombinacije obeh ter v posledični izgubi dobičkonosnosti.
Given the important dumping, the substantial import volume and market shares as well as the significant undercutting and the dramatic drop in prices of the dumped imports, it can be concluded, in the absence of any further causes that the dumping is at the origin of a negative situation such as the one experienced by the Community industry.
Ob upoštevanju občutnega dampinga, precejšnje količine uvoza in tržnih deležev ter občutnega nelojalnega nižanja cen in dramatičnega padca cen dampinškega uvoza se lahko, če ni nobenih nadaljnjih vzrokov, sklene, da je damping vzrok za slabo stanje industrije Skupnosti.
In the absence of any other comments in this particular regard, the findings in recital 133 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (133) začasne uredbe.
Worldwide price development, economic recession and market shrinkage
Razvoj svetovnih cen, gospodarska recesija in krčenje trga
It was claimed that on the basis of a decreasing trend of import prices as recorded by Eurostat and, in particular, import prices of the USA and Switzerland, granular PTFE prices had dropped in general in the entire Community market.
Trdilo se je, da so na podlagi nižanja uvoznih cen, kakor jih je zabeležil Eurostat, in zlasti na podlagi uvoznih cen iz ZDA in Švice, cene granuliranega PTFE na splošno padle na celotnem trgu Skupnosti.
This downward trend in prices would also be due to the fact that the granular PTFE market is a shrinking market, i.e. demand and consumption is decreasing.
Vzrok tega nižanja cen naj bi bilo tudi dejstvo, da je trg granuliranega PTFE trg, ki se krči, tj. povpraševanje in potrošnja se manjšata.
Therefore, the decline of the sales prices of the Community industry is rather due to this general downward trend than to the dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Zato je vzrok padca prodajnih cen industrije Skupnosti to splošno nižanje in ne dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav.
It should be noted that an analysis of import prices, as recorded by Eurostat, in general, and from Switzerland and the USA in particular, revealed that these were largely above the import price level of the PRC and Russia, as well as those of the Community industry.
Opomniti je treba, da je analiza uvoznih cen, kakor jih je na splošno zabeležil Eurostat, ter zlasti iz Švice in ZDA pokazala, da so bile te cene občutno višje od ravni uvozne cene iz LRK in Rusije ter kot cene industrije Skupnosti.
Likewise, the prices of the non-complainant Community producers were above the price level of the Community industry.
Podobno so bile cene proizvajalcev Skupnosti, ki niso pritožniki, višje od ravni cen industrije Skupnosti.
Therefore, it was concluded that third countries and the non-complainant Community producers did not exert a competitive pressure on prices which could be regarded as a significant source of injury.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da tretje države in proizvajalci Skupnosti, ki niso pritožniki, niso izvajali konkurenčnega pritiska na cene, kar bi se lahko obravnavalo kot pomemben vir škode.
It is further noted that as mentioned above, although Community consumption was decreased significantly from 2001 to 2002, it remained fairly stable afterwards and even increased slightly.
Poleg tega je treba opomniti, da čeprav se je potrošnja Skupnosti, kot je omenjeno zgoraj, občutno zmanjšala od leta 2001 do 2002, je pozneje ostala precej stabilna in se je celo nekoliko povečala.
Moreover, this increasing trend was confirmed after the IP.
Poleg tega je bilo to povečanje potrjeno med OP.
Consequently, the granular PTFE market cannot be considered as a shrinking market.
Zato se trg granuliranega PTFE ne more obravnavati kot trg, ki se krči.
On the basis of the above, it was concluded that the general economic downward trend during the period considered did not break the causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and Russia and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je bilo sklenjeno, da splošno gospodarsko upadanje v obravnavanem obdobju ni prekinilo vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in Rusije in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Some cooperating exporters stated that the provisional conclusion in recital 135 of the provisional Regulation, i.e. that the Community industry’s cost of production was decreasing was not in line with the data submitted in the complaint, which suggested an increase in the Community industry’s unit cost during the period considered.
Nekateri sodelujoči izvozniki so navedli, da začasni sklepi iz uvodne izjave (135) začasne uredbe, tj. da so se proizvodni stroški industrije Skupnosti zmanjšali, niso bili v skladu s podatki, priloženimi v pritožbi, ki so kazali povečanje stroškov na enoto industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju.
They claimed that it should have been investigated whether or not this increase in costs caused the material injury suffered.
Trdili so, da bi bilo treba proučiti, ali je to povečanje stroškov povzročilo znatno škodo.
In this respect, it should be noted that the conclusion of recital 135 in the provisional Regulation was based on data which were verified during the different on-the-spot investigations at the premises of the European producers.
V zvezi s tem je treba opomniti, da so sklepi uvodne izjave (135) začasne uredbe temeljili na podatkih, ki so bili preverjeni med različnimi preverjanji na kraju samem v prostorih evropskih proizvajalcev.
Therefore, these claims were rejected.
Zato so bili ti zahtevki zavrnjeni.
Another exporting producer claimed that the Community industry lowered its sales prices to unnecessary low levels, which would be evidenced by the fact that the Community industry increased sales volume and gained (instead of merely maintained) market share during the period considered.
Drug proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da je industrija Skupnosti po nepotrebnem v tolikšni meri znižala raven svojih prodajnih cen, dokaz pa naj bi bilo dejstvo, da je industrija Skupnosti povečala obseg prodaje ter pridobila (in ne le obdržala) tržni delež v obravnavanem obdobju.
Furthermore, it was alleged that the loss in profitability was rather due to an increase of unit costs, as a consequence of low capacity utilisation rates and an increase in wages, than to the imports under consideration.
Poleg tega se je trdilo, da se je dobičkonosnost zmanjšala zaradi povečanja stroškov na enoto – kot posledica nizkih stopenj izkoriščanja zmogljivosti in povečanja plač in ne zaradi obravnavanega uvoza.
It should first be noted that, in contrast to this exporting producers’ allegation, the production cost of the Community decreased during the period considered, which was therefore not considered as a cause for the loss of the Community industry’s profitability.
Najprej je treba opomniti, da so se v nasprotju s trditvijo teh proizvajalcev izvoznikov proizvodni stroški Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšali in se zato niso obravnavali kot vzrok za manjšo dobičkonosnost industrije Skupnosti.
While it is true that the Community industry was able to keep its market position and even increase its market share, this was at the expense of its profitability.
Res je, da je industrija Skupnosti uspela obdržati svoj položaj na trgu in je celo povečala svoj tržni delež, vendar na račun svoje dobičkonosnosti.
It is recalled that the imports under consideration significantly undercut the Community industry’s prices throughout the period considered, which could not be outweighed by the Community industry’s increase in market share.
Opozoriti je treba, da je obravnavani uvoz občutno in nelojalno nižal cene industrije Skupnosti v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, česar njen večji tržni delež ni mogel uravnovesiti.
On the basis of the above, it was concluded that, since the Community industry had efficient production processes and decreasing production costs, the material injury suffered by the Community industry was not self-inflicted.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je bilo sklenjeno, da znatne škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, zaradi njenega učinkovitega proizvodnega postopka in nižjih proizvodnih stroškov ni povzročila industrija Skupnosti sama.
