They claimed that since it had been shown in this investigation that there was no State Monopoly on the manufacture and sale of the product and that there is no evidence that the Chinese Government has fixed all domestic sales prices for magnesium bricks, the companies had discharged their burden of proof that free competition and accordingly market economy conditions prevail with regard to the manufacture and sale of the product.
Trdila so, da glede na to, da preiskava ni ugotovila državnega monopola v proizvodnji in prodaji izdelka in da ni nobenega dokaza o določitvi vseh domačih prodajnih cen za magnezitne opeke s strani kitajske vlade, so se podjetja rešila svojega dokaznega bremena, da sta svobodna konkurenca in temu ustrezno tržno gospodarstvo prevladala v smislu proizvodnje in prodaje izdelka.
As acknowledged by the Court of First Instance, the burden of proof is on the exporting producer to demonstrate that it fulfils MET criteria.
Kot priznava Sodišče prve stopnje, dokazno breme nosi izvoznik proizvajalec, da dokaže, da izpolnjuje merila MET.
More importantly, during the investigation it was found that the company is established under the special Township law which provides possibilities for state interference and no exceptions to the application of this law were found to exist.
Še pomembneje, med preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da je podjetje ustanovljeno po posebni Township zakonodaji, ki omogoča veliko možnosti za državno poseganje, in odkrite niso bile nobene izjeme za uporabo te zakonodaje.
Any re-negotiation of the Articles of Association would still leave untouched the status of the company.
Vsako spreminjanje statuta bi še vedno pustilo status podjetja nedotaknjen.
It was found that the local authority is involved in major decisions.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je lokalna oblast vpletena v glavne odločitve.
Moreover, no independent evaluation was made as to whether the investments in the company reflect fair market prices, neither when the company was established nor when additional capital was inserted later into the company.
Poleg tega ni bila opravljena nobena neodvisna ocena, ki bi pokazala, ali naložbe v podjetju odražajo poštene tržne cene, kdaj je bilo podjetje ustanovljeno in kdaj je bil pozneje vložen dodaten kapital v podjetje.
The company has, in addition, according to the Business Licence, the possibility to make compensatory trade and barter trade and could not prove that this had not taken place.
Podjetje ima poleg tega v skladu z dovoljenjem za poslovanje možnost za opravljanje kompenzacijske trgovine in barter poslov ter ni moglo dokazati, da se to ni zgodilo.
Based on the above, the Commission concluded that that the company did not meet criterion 1.
Na podlagi tega je Komisija zaključila, da podjetje ne izpolnjuje merila 1.
On this basis, and in line with the basic Regulation, which also reflects the Community’s international obligations arising from the WTO, the arguments therefore have to be rejected.
Na tej podlagi in v skladu z osnovno uredbo, ki tudi odraža mednarodne obveznosti Skupnosti, izhajajočih iz STO, je zato treba argumente zavrniti.
Concerning criterion 2, some companies claimed that the alleged deficiencies in their accounting practices were irrelevant for the question of whether market economy conditions prevail with regard to the manufacture, and sale of the product.
Glede merila 2 so nekatera podjetja trdila, da so domnevne pomanjkljivosti v njihovih računovodskih postopkih nepomembne za vprašanje, ali pogoji tržnega gospodarstva prevladajo v smislu proizvodnje in prodaje izdelka.
Moreover, these companies argued that, imposing such additional requirements as an obligation to use international standards, is unrelated to the issue of whether market economy conditions prevail.
Poleg tega so ta podjetja trdila, da uvedba takšnih dodatnih zahtev kot obveznosti za uporabo mednarodnih standardov ni povezana z vprašanjem prevlade pogojev tržnega gospodarstva.
They claimed that it is a violation of the Community’s obligations under GATT/WTO, in particular a violation of the explanatory note of GATT Article VI as well as Paragraph 15 (a)(ii) of the Decision of 10 November 2001, i.e. the Protocol on the accession of the People's Republic of China.
Trdila so, da gre za kršenje obveznosti Skupnosti, ki izhajajo iz GATT/STO, še zlasti kršenje pojasnila k členu VI GATT in odstavka 15(a)(ii) Sklepa z dne 10. novembra 2001, tj. Protokola o pristopu Ljudske republike Kitajske.
Furthermore, some companies argued that by imposing the obligation to apply international accounting standards (IAS) on foreign exporters while they are not imposed on the domestic industry, the Community applies its trade laws not in an ‘impartial’ way.
Nekatera podjetja so poleg tega trdila, da z uvedbo obveznosti uporabe mednarodnih računovodskih standardov (MRS) za tuje izvoznike, medtem ko ti standardi niso uvedeni za domačo industrijo, Komisija ne uporablja svoje trgovinske zakonodaje nepristransko.
Thus, it is claimed that the Community industry is put in a more favourable position than exporters.
Tako se trdi, da je industrija Skupnosti postavljena v ugodnejši položaj kot izvozniki.
However, it is to be noted that the analysis of whether the companies fulfilled the criteria for obtaining market economy treatment was carried out on the basis of Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Kljub temu je treba omeniti, da je bila analiza, ali so podjetja izpolnila merila za pridobitev obravnave kot tržno gospodarstvo, izvedena na podlagi člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe.
Since this evaluation has not been done for the Community industry it cannot be said that the Commission is partial in its analysis.
Ker ta ocena ni bila narejena za industrijo Skupnosti, se ne more trditi, da je bila Komisija pri svoji analizi pristranska.
Therefore, this argument is not relevant in this case.
Zato v tem primeru ta argument ni pomemben.
As far as the first claim is concerned, under Article 2(7)(c) indent 2 of the basic Regulation, the Commission has to examine if the companies have one clear set of basic accounting records which are independently audited in line with international accounting standards and are applied for all purposes.
V zvezi s prvo trditvijo in v skladu z alineo 2 člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe mora Komisija preveriti, ali imajo podjetja enotne in jasne računovodske evidence, ki se neodvisno preverjajo v skladu z mednarodnimi računovodskimi standardi in se uporabljajo za vse namene.
The companies in questions did not fulfil these necessary conditions of the quoted criterion and did not follow the basic principles of accounting.
Zadevna podjetja niso izpolnila teh potrebnih pogojev navedenega merila in niso upoštevala osnovnih računovodskih načel.
Therefore, this claim had to be rejected.
Zato je bilo treba to trditev zavrniti.
Concerning criterion 3, a company claimed that their assets were indeed valued independently.
V zvezi z merilom 3 je eno podjetje trdilo, da so bila njegova stalna sredstva resnično neodvisno ocenjena.
However, no conclusive proof has been provided that assets are recorded at the real market value and it has not been demonstrated that all costs are taken into account at market value.
Kljub temu ni bil predložen noben zadosten dokaz, da so stalna sredstva izračunana po realnih tržnih vrednostih in ni bilo dokazano, da so za vse stroške upoštevane tržne vrednosti.
Individual treatment (IT)
Posamezna obravnava (IT)
Further to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, a country-wide duty, if any, is established for countries falling under Article 2(7), except in those cases where companies are able to demonstrate, in accordance with Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation, that (i) in case of wholly or partly foreign owned firms or joint ventures, exporters are free to repatriate capital and profits; (ii) their export prices and quantities as well as the conditions and terms of the sales are freely determined; (iii) the majority of the shares belongs to private persons, State officials appearing on the board of Directors or holding key management positions are in minority or it is demonstrated that the company is nonetheless sufficiently independent from the State interference (iv) exchange rate conversions are carried out at market rates; (v) any State interference is not such as to permit circumvention of measures if individual exporters are given different rates of duty.
Nadalje se v skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe za države iz člena 2(7) določi morebitna dajatev na ravni države razen v primerih, ko v skladu s členom 9(5) osnovne uredbe podjetja lahko dokažejo, da: (i) v primeru podjetij, ki so v popolni ali delni tuji lasti, ali skupnih podjetij, lahko izvozniki v državo prosto vrnejo kapital in dobiček, (ii) so njihove izvozne cene in količine, kot tudi pogoji prodaje prosto oblikovani, (iii) je večina delnic v lasti posameznikov, da so državni predstavniki v upravnih odborih ali na ključnih položajih v manjšini ali dokazano, da je podjetje dovolj neodvisno od države, (iv) se menjave valut opravljajo po tržnih stopnjah, (v) državno poseganje ne omogoča izogibanja ukrepom, če so posameznim izvoznikom določene različne stopnje dajatev.
Of the two remaining companies, one was found to be partially State owned.
Izmed dveh preostalih podjetij, se je za eno ugotovilo, da je v delni državni lasti.
In addition, the company was established under special Chinese legislation which provides possibilities for state interference.
Poleg tega je bilo podjetje ustanovljeno v skladu s posebno kitajsko zakonodajo, ki omogoča poseganje države.
The company could not demonstrate that it took its decisions free of such state interference.
Podjetje ni moglo dokazati, da je odločitve sprejelo neodvisno od takšnega poseganja države.
For these reasons, the risk of State interference was deemed significant.
Zaradi tega je bila možnost državnega poseganja ocenjena kot precejšna.
Moreover, it is usually very difficult, in particular for customs authorities, to identify the producer of any magnesia brick traded.
Še več, ponavadi je zelo težko, še zlasti za carinske organe, odkriti proizvajalca kakršnih koli magnezitnih opek, s katerimi se trguje.
Therefore, the risk of circumvention of measures by way of exporting via a company with a lower level of duty, which is aggravated by the fact that there is significant risk of state interference, was also deemed significant.
Zato je bilo tveganje izogibanja ukrepom z izvozom prek podjetja z nižjimi dajatvami, ki ga zaostruje dejstvo, da obstaja velika možnost državnega poseganja, ocenjeno kot precejšnje.
Consequently, the conditions set in Article 9(5)(c) and (e) of the basic Regulation were not met.
Posledično pogoji iz člena 9(5)(c) in (e) osnovne uredbe niso bili izpolnjeni.
It was therefore decided not to grant IT to this company.
Zato je bilo odločeno, da se temu podjetju IT ne odobri.
For the remaining company, the level of cooperation and the data provided was not sufficient to allow for a determination as to whether the company fulfilled all the criteria to be granted IT.
Za preostalo podjetje stopnja sodelovanja in predloženi podatki niso bili zadostni za ugotovitev, ali je podjetje izpolnilo vsa merila za odobritev IT.
For instance, the company was not able to provide, within the deadlines, a reliable transaction listing of its sales to the Community, thereby preventing any calculation of a dumping margin to be made.
Podjetje na primer ni moglo pravočasno zagotoviti zanesljivega seznama transakcij svojih prodaj Skupnosti in je tako preprečilo kakršen koli izračun stopnje dampinga.
One additional exporting producer requested only individual treatment.
En dodaten proizvajalec izvoznik je zahteval samo posamezno obravnavo.
This company had sales to related companies in the Community as well as sales to independent parties in the Community.
To podjetje je prodajalo povezanim podjetjem v Skupnosti, kakor tudi neodvisnim strankam v Skupnosti.
As the company failed to provide the requested information within the deadlines given, the determination as to whether the company fulfilled all the criteria to be granted IT could not be made and the company had to be regarded as a non-cooperating party.
Ker podjetje ni posredovalo zahtevanih informacij v danih rokih ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti, ali je podjetje izpolnilo vsa merila za dodelitev IT in podjetje je veljalo za nesodelujoče.
It was therefore concluded that IT should be granted to the following four exporting producers in the PRC:
Sklenjeno je bilo, da se IT odobri naslednjim štirim proizvajalcem izvoznikom v LRK:
Determination of normal value for all exporting producers not granted MET
Določitev normalne vrednosti za vse proizvajalce izvoznike, za katere ne velja MET
According to Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation, in case of imports from non-market-economy countries and to the extent that MET could not be granted, for countries specified in Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, normal value has to be established on the basis of the price or constructed value in an analogue country.
V skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe se v primeru uvoza iz držav brez tržnega gospodarstva, v obsegu, da se MET ne more odobriti, pa se za države iz člena 2(7)(b) osnovne uredbe, določi normalna vrednost na osnovi cene ali računsko določene vrednosti v primerljivi državi.
In the notice of initiation the Commission indicated its intention to use Turkey as an appropriate analogue country for the purpose of establishing normal value for the PRC and invited the interested parties to comment on this.
V obvestilu o začetku je Komisija naznanila, da bo uporabila Turčijo kot primerljivo državo za določitev normalne vrednosti za LRK in povabila zainteresirane stranke, da izrazijo svoja mnenja v zvezi s tem.
Some interested parties objected to this proposal.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so temu predlogu ugovarjale.
The main arguments against Turkey, claimed by them, were:
Njihovi glavni argumenti proti Turčiji so bili:
insufficient competition on the Turkish domestic market (there are only 3 Turkish producers),
nezadostna konkurenca na domačem turškem trgu (obstajajo samo trije turški proizvajalci),
Turkey’s volume of production amounts to 1,3 % of Chinese production,
turški obseg proizvodnje dosega 1,3 % kitajske proizvodnje,
Chinese producers have a different cost structure, especially with regard to labour costs and the cost of raw materials,
kitajski proizvajalci imajo drugačno stroškovno strukturo, še posebej, kar zadeva stroške dela in stroške surovin,
PRC and Turkey have different economic and cultural ties with the EU, such as being closer to Europe, benefiting from a customs union with the EU since 1995, and their harmonising of laws with EU standards in light of negotiations on Turkey’s accession to the EU,
LRK in Turčija imata različne gospodarske in kulturne vezi z EU, kajti Turčija je bližje Evropi, z EU je v carinski uniji od leta 1995 in usklajuje zakonodajo s standardi EU zaradi pristopnih pogajanj Turčije k EU,
the Turkish currency was strongly devalued; some Turkish producers are related/linked to complainants,
turška valuta je močno devalvirala; nekateri turški proizvajalci so povezani s pritožniki,
and the quality of Turkish products is too low.
in kakovost turških izdelkov je preslaba.
The interested parties suggested India or Russia as appropriate analogue countries.
Zainteresirane stranke so predlagale Indijo ali Rusijo kot ustrezno primerljivo državo.
The Commission sought cooperation from other potential analogue countries such as: Russia, India, Japan, South Korea, United States of America, Turkey, Serbia Montenegro and South Africa.
Komisija je za sodelovanje zaprosila druge potencialno primerljive države, kot so Rusija, Indija, Japonska, Južna Koreja, Združene države Amerike, Turčija, Srbija in Črna gora ter Južna Afrika.
Out of 38 companies which were contacted all over the world, only two companies from the USA agreed to cooperate.
Od 38 proizvajalcev po celem svetu, s katerimi je stopila v stik, sta samo dve podjetji iz ZDA privolili v sodelovanje.
The analysis of the information available showed that the USA has a competitive market for the product concerned with at least three producers, around 30 suppliers, more than 15 importers and approximately 300 users.
Analiza razpoložljivih informacij je pokazala, da imajo ZDA konkurenčen trg za zadevni izdelek z najmanj tremi proizvajalci, približno 30 dobavitelji, več kot 15 izvozniki in približno 300 uporabniki.
No differences were found to exist between the product concerned and the magnesia bricks produced and sold on the domestic market in the PRC and in the USA as stated in recital 14.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 14, med zadevnim izdelkom in magnezitnimi opekami, proizvedenim in prodajanim na domačih trgih v LRK in ZDA, niso bile ugotovljene nobene razlike.
In addition, it was found that over 50 % of the raw material used by one of the producers in the USA was imported from PRC and that there are no significant differences in the production process used in the two countries to produce magnesia bricks.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da je več kot 50 % surovin, ki jih uporablja eden izmed proizvajalcev iz ZDA, uvoženih iz LRK in da ni nobenih pomembnih razlik v proizvodnem procesu, ki se v obeh državah uporablja za proizvodnjo magnezitnih opek.
In view of the above it is provisionally concluded that the United States of America represented the most appropriate and reasonable choice of analogue country in accordance with Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno se začasno zaključi, da so bile Združene države Amerike najbolj ustrezna in razumljiva izbira za primerljivo državo v skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe.
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, the normal value for the exporting producers not granted MET was established on the basis of verified information received from the producers in the analogue country.
V skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe je bila normalna vrednost za proizvajalce izvoznike, ki jim ni bila dodeljena MET, določena na podlagi preverjenih informacij proizvajalcev iz primerljive države.
Since the transactions by the producers in the USA were found to be made in the ordinary course of trade, the normal value was established on the basis of all prices paid or payable on the domestic market of the USA for product types comparable to those exported to the Community by the Chinese exporters.
Ker je bilo za transakcije proizvajalcev iz ZDA ugotovljeno, da so bile izvršene v normalnem poteku trgovanja, je bila normalna cena določena na podlagi vseh cen, plačanih ali plačljivih na domačem trgu ZDA za vrste izdelkov, ki so primerljivi s tistimi, ki jih v Skupnost izvažajo kitajski izvozniki.
Normal value was established as the weighted average domestic sales price charged to unrelated customers by the cooperating producers in the USA for product types having similar MgO content.
Normalna vrednost je bila določena kot tehtano povprečje domače prodajne cene, ki jo sodelujoči ameriški proizvajalci za vrste izdelke s podobno vsebnostjo MgO zaračunavajo nepovezanim strankam.
Where relevant, adjustments were made for the different treatments incurred by the various product types.
Prilagoditve so bile po potrebi opravljene za različne obdelave, do katerih je prišlo zaradi številnih vrst izdelka.
Determination of normal value for exporting producers granted MET
Določitev normalne vrednosti za proizvajalce izvoznike, za katere velja MET
It is recalled that for the companies granted MET the calculation of any dumping margin was based on the data they submitted on domestic export sales and on the cost of production for the product concerned.
Treba je opozoriti, da je za podjetja, za katera velja MET, izračun katere koli stopnje dampinga temeljil na podatkih, ki so jih podjetja posredovala za domačo izvozno prodajo in za stroške proizvodnje za zadevni izdelek.
This data was verified at the premises of the companies concerned.
Ti podatki so bili preverjeni pri zadevnih podjetjih.
As far as the determination of normal value is concerned, the Commission first established, for each cooperating exporting producer, whether its total domestic sales of the product concerned were representative in comparison with its total export sales to the Community.
Za določanje normalne vrednosti je Komisija najprej za vsakega sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika določila, ali je skupna domača prodaja zadevnega proizvoda reprezentativna v primerjavi z njegovo skupno izvozno prodajo v Skupnost.
In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, domestic sales were considered representative when the total volume of such sales of each exporting producer represented at least 5 % of the total export sales volume of the producer to the Community.
V skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe je domača prodaja veljala za reprezentativno, če je celoten obseg takšne prodaje vsakega proizvajalca izvoznika predstavljal najmanj 5 % celotnega obsega izvozne prodaje proizvajalca v Skupnost.
On this basis, it was found that one exporting producer had overall domestic sales of the product concerned which were made in representative quantities during the IP.
Na tej podlagi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je imel en proizvajalec izvoznik celotno domačo prodajo zadevnega izdelka med OP podano v reprezentativnih količinah.
For the other exporting producer the overall domestic sales of the product concerned during the IP were not made in representative quantities.
Za druge proizvajalce izvoznike celotna domača prodaja zadevnega izdelka med OP ni bila podana v reprezentativnih količinah.
For the exporting producer with representative domestic sales, the Commission subsequently identified those types of magnesia bricks, sold domestically that were identical or directly comparable to the types sold for export to the Community.
Za proizvajalce izvoznike z reprezentativno domačo prodajo je Komisija posledično določila tiste vrste magnezitnih opek v domači prodaji, ki so bile identične ali neposredno primerljive z vrstami izdelka, prodanimi za izvoz v Skupnost.
For each type sold on its domestic market and found to be directly comparable to the type of magnesia bricks 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.
Za vsako vrsto, ki je bila prodana na domačem trgu in za katero je bilo ugotovljeno, da je neposredno primerljiva z vrsto magnezitnih opek, ki je bila prodana za izvoz v Skupnost, je bilo ugotovljeno, ali je domača prodaja dovolj reprezentativna za namene člena 2(2) osnovne uredbe.
Domestic sales of a particular type of magnesia bricks 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 magnesia bricks type exported to the Community.
Domača prodaja določene vrste magnezitnih opek se je štela za zadosti reprezentativno, če je celotni obseg domače prodaje te vrste med OP predstavljal 5 % ali več celotnega obsega prodaje primerljive vrste magnezitnih opek, izvožene v Skupnost.
As a result of this analysis, it was found that the exporting producer with overall representative sales only had representative domestic sales for a few product types.
Na podlagi te analize je bilo ugotovljeno, da je imel proizvajalec izvoznik s skupno reprezentativno domačo prodajo to reprezentativno domačo prodajo le za nove vrste izdelkov.
The Commission subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of each type of magnesia bricks sold domestically in representative quantities could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, by establishing the proportion of profitable sales to independent customers of the magnesia bricks type in question.
Komisija je naknadno preverila, ali lahko domačo prodajo vsake vrste magnezitnih opek, prodane na domačem trgu in v reprezentativnih količinah, šteje kot navaden potek trgovine, pri čemer je določila delež donosne prodaje zadevne vrste magnezitnih opek neodvisnim strankam.
