It was, however, demonstrated that the SPT imported by this Community producer from its related company in Argentina, were neither in terms of quantities nor prices a determining reason for the injurious situation of this particular Community producer and of the Community imports were industry as a whole.
Vendar je bilo dokazano, da BC, ki jih je ta proizvajalec Skupnosti uvažal od povezane družbe v Argentini, niso bile niti količinsko niti cenovno odločilen razlog za škodljivo stanje tega proizvajalca Skupnosti ali industrije Skupnosti kot celote.
As to the USA, Eurostat statistics show that the market share of imports of SPT from the USA increased from 0,6 % in 2001 to 1,8 % in the IP.
Kar zadeva ZDA, podatki Eurostata kažejo, da se je tržni delež uvoza BC iz ZDA povečal z 0,6 % leta 2001 na 1,8 % v OP.
Average selling prices of US at the beginning of the period under consideration at EUR 2414 per tonne, i.e. almost four times higher than those of the Community industry and subsequently decreased hugely by 77 % to EUR 797 per tonne during the IP, still exceeding the Community industry's prices by 8 %.
Povprečne prodajne cene ZDA so na začetku obravnavanega obdobja znašale 2414 EUR na tono, torej so bile skoraj štirikrat višje od cen industrije Skupnosti in so se nato v OP znižale za kar 77 % na 797 EUR na tono, kar še vedno presega cene industrije Skupnosti za 8 %.
Therefore, despite the increased imports from the USA, given their price level, they cannot be considered as a substantial cause of the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Čeprav se je uvoz iz ZDA povečal, pa se glede na njihovo raven cen ne more šteti, da je to povečanje znatno oškodovalo industrijo Skupnosti.
It was claimed that imports from Argentina and United States have been steadily increasing since 2001 and that their combined market share exceeded 4 % in the IP and that US prices remained below those charged by exporting producers in three out of the four countries concerned.
Trdilo se je, da se je uvoz iz Argentine in Združenih držav od leta 2001 stalno povečeval in da je njihov skupni tržni delež v OP presegel 4 % ter da so cene ZDA ostale pod cenami, ki so jih zaračunavali proizvajalci izvozniki v treh od štirih zadevnih držav.
The allegation that US prices were lower than those charged by three out of the four countries concerned is not borne out by the facts.
Trditev, da so bile cene ZDA nižje od cen, ki so jih zaračunavale tri od štirih zadevnih držav, ni bila podkrepljena z dejstvi.
More generally, it was concluded that in particular in view of their high price levels, these imports cannot be regarded as a determining cause of the injury.
Na splošno se je sklenilo, da se za ta uvoz ne more šteti, da je odločilen razlog za škodo, predvsem zaradi njegove visoke ravni cene.
One exporting producer claimed that the Community industry was primarily active in the production and sales of high end product categories (OCTGs) which would compete with imports from Japan, Argentina and the United States.
En proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da je bila industrija Skupnosti prvotno dejavna pri proizvodnji in prodaji visokokakovostnih izdelkov (OCTG), ki bi konkurirali uvozu iz Japonske, Argentine in Združenih držav.
It was argued that imports from these three countries combined represented an increase of market share of 1,5 percentage points between 2001 and the IP and that imports from these three countries were replacing SPT produced by the Community industry rather than SPT imported from Russia and Ukraine.
Trdilo se je, da je uvoz iz vseh teh treh držav med letom 2001 in OP predstavljal povečanje tržnega deleža v višini 1,5 odstotne točke in da je uvoz iz teh treh držav nadomestil BC, ki jih je proizvedla industrija Skupnosti, in ne BC, uvoženih iz Rusije in Ukrajine.
It is pointed out that the Community industry despite more putting more emphasis on the production of high end added value products, continues producing all different types of SPT, including low end products in substantial quantities.
Poudariti je treba, da industrija Skupnosti kljub večjemu poudarku na proizvodnji visokokakovostnih izdelkov z dodano vrednostjo še naprej proizvaja različne vrste BC v znatnih količinah, tudi nizkokakovostne izdelke.
As a matter of fact, OCTGs only represent a small share of the Community industry's activities, namely 5 % of the total sales volume and 7 % of the total sales value of the like product sold on the Community market during the IP.
OCTG dejansko predstavljajo le majhen delež dejavnosti industrije Skupnosti, namreč 5 % celotnega obsega prodaje ter 7 % celotne vrednosti prodaje podobnega izdelka, prodanega v OP na trgu Skupnosti.
The increase of the combined market share of Japan, Argentina and the United States by 1,5 percentage points from 4,5 % in 2001 to 6,0 % in the IP can, if at all, only be linked to a minor degree to the more pronounced loss of market share of the Community industry during the same period, i.e. from 40,1 % to 36,7 %.
Povečanje skupnega tržnega deleža Japonske, Argentine in Združenih držav za 1,5 odstotne točke s 4,5 % leta 2001 na 6 % v OP je lahko le v manjši meri, če sploh, povezano z večjo izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti v istem obdobju, tj. s 40,1 % na 36,7 %.
Consequently, the claim that imports of these three countries caused material injury to the Community industry has to be rejected.
Zato je bilo treba trditev, da je uvoz teh treh zadevnih držav povzročil znatno škodo industriji Skupnosti, zavrniti.
One exporting producer claimed that the Commission services omitted to take into account the impact of SPT imports from the new Member States.
En proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da službe Komisije niso upoštevale vliva uvoza BC iz novih držav članic.
Mainly for Slovakia, it was argued that these imports were previously found to have been made into the EC at injurious dumped prices.
Zlasti za Slovaško je trdil, da je bilo za ta uvoz prvotno ugotovljeno, da se je v ES uvažal po škodljivih dampinških cenah.
Such imports were subject to anti-dumping duties which lapsed as a result of enlargement in the middle of the IP.
Za ta uvoz so veljale protidampinške dajatve, ki so bile zaradi širitve sredi OP odpravljene.
It was also claimed that such imports were the cause of the loss in market share of the Community industry.
Trdil je tudi, da je ta uvoz povzročil izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti.
However, it is noted that sales volume from the Community industry and from other European producers (including Slovakia) decreased respectively by around 133000 tonnes and by 112000 tonnes between 2001 and 2004, whereas, at the same time, the imports from the four countries concerned increased by around 120000 tonnes [13].
Vendar je treba opomniti, da se je med leti 2001 in 2004 obseg prodaje industrije Skupnosti zmanjšal za približno 133000 ton, drugih evropskih proizvajalcev (tudi Slovaške) pa za 112000 ton, medtem ko se je v istem času uvoz iz štirih zadevnih držav povečal za približno 120000 ton [13].
As to the imports from Slovakia before enlargement, it cannot be claimed that such imports could cause injurious dumping to the Community Industry for the period 2001 until enlargement (i.e. 1st May 2004) since they were subject to anti-dumping duties re-establishing a level playing field with the Community Industry.
Glede uvoza iz Slovaške pred širitvijo ni mogoče trditi, da je ta uvoz v obdobju od 2001 do širitve (tj. do 1. maja) industriji Skupnosti povzročil škodo, ker so zanj veljale protidampinške dajatve z namenom ponovne vzpostavitve enakih konkurenčnih pogojev za industrijo Skupnosti.
Any possible effect of these sales inside the EU-25 as from 1st of May is not considered such as to reverse the injury findings or break the causal link between the dumped imports from the four countries under investigation and the injury suffered by the Community Industry.
Zato se šteje, da vpliv prodaje znotraj EU-25 po 1. maju ne more spremeni ugotovitev glede škode ali ovreči povezave med dampinškim uvozom iz štirih zadevnih držav v preiskavi in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Indeed, an analysis of imports of the product concerned from Slovakia into the Community market before and after enlargement based on Eurostat showed that in the year of accession, these imports of the product concerned in the rest of the Community market (EU-24) increased by 7 % or 5911 tonnes compared to the year before accession.
Proučitev uvoza zadevnega izdelka s Slovaške na trg Skupnosti pred širitvijo in po njej, ki je temeljila na podatkih Eurostata, je dejansko pokazala, da se je v letu pristopa ta uvoz zadevnih izdelkov na trgu preostalih držav Skupnosti (EU-24) povečal za 7 % ali 5911 ton v primerjavi z letom pred pristopom.
This increase in volume is very small as compared to the development of imports from the four countries concerned.
Povečanje obsega je v primerjavi z razvojem uvoza iz štirih zadevnih držav majhno.
Given the above, it is concluded that the market share of the Community industry did not diminish as a result of intra-Community competition.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno se sklene, da se tržni delež industrije Skupnosti ni zmanjšal zaradi konkurence znotraj Skupnosti.
Therefore, the claim that intra-community competition could be the cause of the decrease of loss of market share of the Community industry is hereby rejected.
Zato se trditev, da bi lahko konkurenca znotraj Skupnosti povzročila izgube tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti, zavrne.
Market cyclicality and exchange rates
Cikličnost trga in menjalni tečaji
In reaction to the disclosure of definitive findings, one exporting producer stated that the factor of cyclicality of the steel market had not be taken into account as required by Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation.
Po razkritju dokončnih ugotovitev je en proizvajalec izvoznik navedel, da dejavnik cikličnosti trga jekla ni bil upoštevan, kot to zahteva člen 3(7) osnovne uredbe.
In this respect it is noted that the exporting producer did not submit any evidence to substantiate the claim that the cyclicality of the steel market has caused the injurious situation of the Community industry.
V zvezi s tem je treba opomniti, da proizvajalec izvoznik ni predložil dokazov, ki bi podprli trditev, da je cikličnost trga jekla povzročila škodljivo stanje industrije Skupnosti.
In addition, it is noted that the cyclicality of the steel market should have an impact on the Community industry and exporting producers alike.
Opomniti je treba še, da bi morala cikličnost trga jekla enako vplivati na industrijo Skupnosti kot na proizvajalce izvoznike.
Hence, a downward cycle in the SPT market which allegedly had a negative impact on the state of the Community industry should have also had a negative impact on the volume of SPT imports, i.e. import volumes from the four countries concerned should have decreased.
Ciklično zmanjševanje na trgu BC, ki naj bi negativno vplivalo na stanje industrije Skupnosti, bi moralo tudi negativno vplivati na obseg uvoza BC, to pomeni, da bi se moral obseg uvoza iz štirih zadevnih držav zmanjšati.
However, as described in recital (151), cumulated import volumes of the four countries concerned increased every single year from 2001 to 2004.
Vendar, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi (151), se je skupni obseg uvoza štirih zadevnih držav povečal vsako leto v obdobju 2001–2004.
Therefore, it is concluded that the cyclicality of the steel market cannot be considered as having caused the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Zato se sklene, da cikličnost trga jekla ni mogla biti razlog za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
One company claimed that the fall in the value of the USD versus the EUR from 2001 to the IP had an impact on the situation of the Community industry without providing any evidence that these exchange rate fluctuations actually had a negative impact on the performance of the Community industry.
Ena družba je trdila, da je upad vrednosti dolarja v primerjavi z eurom od leta 2001 do OP vplival na stanje industrije Skupnosti, vendar pa ni zagotovila dokazov, da so ta nihanja deviznih tečajev dejansko negativno vplivala na uspešnost industrije Skupnosti.
In the absence of any substantiated information showing that the injury situation of the Community industry has been influenced by a appreciation of the EUR against the USD, it is concluded that exchange rate fluctuation did not break the causal link between dumped imports and the injurious situation of the Community industry.
Ker ni bilo na voljo utemeljenih informacij, ki bi pokazale, da je na škodljivo stanje industrije Skupnosti vplivalo povečanje vrednosti eura v primerjavi z dolarjem, se sklene, da nihanje deviznih tečajev ni ovrglo vzročne povezave med dampinškim uvozom in škodljivim stanjem industrije Skupnosti.
Moreover, the analysis of the Community industry was based on the financial performance of the like product produced and sold in the Community market.
Proučitev industrije Skupnosti je temeljila na finančnem uspehu podobnega izdelka, proizvedenega in prodanega na trgu Skupnosti.
As the vast majority of sales of the like product in the Community market was invoiced in EUR and as all major production expenses were also primarily made in EUR, exchange rate fluctuations did in any case not have a major impact on the injurious situation of the Community industry.
Ker je velika večina prodaje podobnega izdelka na trgu Skupnosti fakturirana v EUR in ker so bili vsi glavni stroški prvotno izraženi v EUR, nihanje deviznih tečajev nikakor ni bistveno vplivalo na škodljivo stanje industrije Skupnosti.
In view of the above described evolution of volumes, price and market shares of imports originating in other third countries, it is concluded that the material injury suffered by the Community industry cannot be attributed to these imports.
Glede na zgoraj opisan razvoj obsega, cen in tržnega deleža uvoza s poreklom iz drugih tretjih držav se sklene, da ta uvoz ni razlog za znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Increase of raw material prices
Zvišanje cen surovin
It has been claimed by two exporting producers that the decrease in profitability was a result of the rise in raw material cost and could therefore not be linked with dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Dva proizvajalca izvoznika sta trdila, da je bilo zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti posledica dviga stroškov surovin in da torej ni povezano z dampinškim uvozom iz zadevnih držav.
Indeed, the cost for scrap or billets which are the main raw materials for the production of SPT increased significantly over the period considered.
Stroški odpadnega jekla ali gredic, ki so glavne surovine pri proizvodnji BC, so se v obravnavanem obdobju dejansko povečali.
It was evidenced by two Community producers that the price of scrap increased between the last quarter of 2003 and the last quarter of the IP by 66 % and 77 % respectively.
Dva proizvajalca Skupnosti sta dokazala, da se je cena odpadnega jekla med zadnjim četrtletjem leta 2003 in zadnjim četrtletjem OP zvišala za 66 % oziroma 77 %.
One Community producer demonstrated that over the whole period considered, from 2001 until the IP, the scrap price more than doubled from EUR 99 per tonne in 2001 to EUR 253 per tonne in the IP.
En proizvajalec Skupnosti je dokazal, da se je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, tj. od leta 2001 do OP, cena odpadnega jekla zvišala za več kot dvakrat, in sicer z 99 EUR na tono leta 2001 na 253 EUR na tono v OP.
A similar price trend could be observed with regard to average prices of billets.
Podoben razvoj je bilo mogoče zaznati tudi glede povprečnih cen gredic.
However, material injury to the Community industry was not caused by the increased raw material prices as such, but as explained in recital (168), by the fact that the Community industry was unable to pass on these higher costs to the customers.
Vendar pa znatne škode industrije Skupnosti niso povzročile višje cene surovin kot take, ampak, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi (168), je škoda nastala, ker industrija Skupnosti višjih stroškov ni mogla prenesti na potrošnike.
Indeed, due to the dumped imports from the countries concerned which substantially undercut the Community industry's prices, the Community industry could not increase its sales prices to an amount which would have duly reflected the increase of raw material prices.
Zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav, ki so znatno nelojalno nižale cene industrije Skupnosti, ta ni mogla zvišati svojih prodajnih cen v tolikšni meri, da bi lahko ublažila zvišanje cen surovin.
Following the disclosure of definitive findings, one exporting producer claimed that it was incorrect to state that profitability decreased in the IP because Community producers were unable, due to the price pressure from dumped imports, to increase prices at such levels as to cover the increase in raw materials.
Po razkritju dokončnih ugotovitev je en proizvajalec izvoznik trdil, da ne drži, da se je dobičkonosnost v OP zmanjšala, ker proizvajalci Skupnosti zaradi pritiska dampinškega uvoza niso mogli zvišati cen na raven, ki bi pokrila zvišanje cen surovin.
According to this company, the price of raw materials (scrap) in the IP increased by 15,8 %.
Ta družba je navedla, da se je cena surovin (odpadnega jekla) v OP zvišala za 15,8 %.
It was argued that prices of dumped imports increased in excess of the increase of the costs of raw materials.
Trdilo se je, da so se cene dampinškega uvoza zvišale v večji meri kot cene surovin.
However, as mentioned above, evidence obtained in the course of the investigation showed that the cost increase of raw material of the Community producers was far higher than the alleged 15,8 % during the IP.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, pa so dokazi, pridobljeni v preiskavi, pokazali, da je bilo povečanje stroškov surovin proizvajalcev Skupnosti v OP veliko večje kot domnevno 15,8-odstotno.
Based on the information provided by some Community producers, it was also found that the increase in raw material prices exceeded the increase of the weighted average price of SPT from the four countries concerned throughout the period considered.
Na podlagi informacij, ki so jih predložili nekateri proizvajalci Skupnosti, je bilo ugotovljeno tudi, da je bilo v obravnavanem obdobju zvišanje cen surovin večje kot zvišanje tehtane povprečne cene BC štirih zadevnih držav.
Therefore, the argument is maintained that due to the price pressure from dumped imports, the Community producers were unable to increase prices and render sales profitable.
Zato se ohrani utemeljitev, da proizvajalci Skupnosti zaradi pritiska dampinškega uvoza niso mogli zvišati cen na raven, ki bi omogočila dobičkonosno prodajo.
Anti-competitive behaviour of certain Community producers
Protikonkurenčno ravnanje nekaterih proizvajalcev Skupnosti
Anti-dumping measures in force since 1997 on the original product scope concerning Romania and Russia are no longer applied since July 2004 as a matter of prudence in connection with an anti-competitive behaviour of certain Community producers in the past.
Protidampinški ukrepi za prvotni obseg izdelka, od leta 1997 veljavni za Romunijo in Rusijo, se zaradi protikonkurenčnega ravnanja nekaterih proizvajalcev Skupnosti v preteklosti od leta 2004 ne uporabljajo več.
Some exporting producers and importers requested that the extent to which the cartel formed by certain Community producers could have had an impact on the performance of the overall Community industry be investigated.
Nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki in uvozniki so zahtevali, da se preveri, v kolikšni meri je lahko kartel, ki so ga sestavljali nekateri proizvajalci Skupnosti, vplival na uspešnost celotne industrije Skupnosti.
In this regard, it was found that there was no overlap in time between the duration of the infringement of some Community producers (1990 until 1995 and, for certain products, until 1999) and the period considered (2001 until 2004) of the present anti-dumping proceeding.
V zvezi s tem je bilo ugotovljeno, da ni prišlo do časovnega sovpadanja obdobja kršitev nekaterih proizvajalcev Skupnosti (1990 do 1995 in za nekatere izdelke do 1999) in obravnavanega obdobja (od 2001 do 2004) tega protidampinškega postopka. Med preiskavo tudi ni bilo na voljo informacij, da je na cene industrije Skupnosti ali druge kazalnike škode vplivalo protikonkurenčno ravnanje.
Moreover, no information has been found during the investigation that prices of the Community industry or other injury indicators were influenced by any anti-competitive behaviour Given the above, and in the absence of any information or indication to the contrary, it can be concluded that the cartel formed by certain Community producers before 2001 did not have an effect on the injurious situation of the Community industry during the period considered.
Zato in ker ni bilo na voljo informacij oziroma navedb o nasprotnem, se lahko sklene, da kartel, ki so ga sestavljali nekateri proizvajalci Skupnosti pred letom 2001, ni vplival na škodljivo stanje industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju.
Following the disclosure of definitive finding, one exporting producer claimed that the Commission services failed to examine the likely effects of recovery to normal competitive conditions of the Community industry following the end of the cartel behaviour in 1999.
Po razkritju dokončnih ugotovitev je en proizvajalec izvoznik trdil, da službe Komisije niso proučile morebitnih učinkov ponovno vzpostavljenih normalnih konkurenčnih pogojev na industrijo Skupnosti po prenehanju kartelnega razmerja leta 1999.
It was argued that the overlap in time of the cartel behaviour and the period under consideration of the present proceeding was irrelevant and that the Commission services had erred in its assessment with respect to the analysis of injury and causality and may have violated Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation.
Trdilo se je, da časovno sovpadanje kartelnega razmerja in obravnavanega obdobja sedanje preiskave ni bilo pomembno in da so se službe Komisije zmotile pri oceni glede škode in vzročne zveze in so verjetno kršile člen 3(7) osnovne uredbe.
Firstly, it is underlined that only a small part of the product concerned, namely OCTGs (classified under CN 7304210020 and CN 7304291120) was concerned by the cartel proceeding.
Prvič, treba je poudariti, da je kartelni postopek veljal le za majhen delež zadevnega izdelka, namreč za OCTG (uvrščene pod oznaki KN 7304210020 in KN 7304291120).
During the IP, the volume of OCTGs sold in the Community market represented only 5 % of the total sales volume of the Community industry.
V OP je obseg OCTG, prodanih na trgu Skupnosti, predstavljal le 5 % celotnega prodajnega obsega industrije Skupnosti.
Moreover, it is considered that the two years period between the end of the cartel behaviour and the beginning of the period used for the injury determination is sufficient as to have allowed for a return to normal competitive conditions for the Community industry.
Poleg tega se šteje, da je dvoletno obdobje med koncem kartelnega razmerja in začetkom obdobja, za katerega se je ugotovila škoda, zadostno za ponovno vzpostavitev normalnih konkurenčnih pogojev industrije Skupnosti.
However, the situation during the IP was injurious.
Vendar pa je industrija Skupnosti v OP utrpela škodo.
Given the above, this claim is rejected.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno se ta zahtevek zavrne.
Conclusion on causation
Sklepna ugotovitev o vzročni zvezi
The coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the increase in dumped imports from the countries concerned, the increase in market shares and the undercutting found and, on the other hand, the evident deterioration in the situation of the Community industry, leads to the conclusion that the dumped imports caused the material injury suffered by the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Ker so povečanje dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav, povečanje tržnih deležev in ugotovljeno nelojalno nižanje cen ter očitno poslabšanje stanja industrije Skupnosti časovno sovpadli, se sklene, da je dampinški uvoz povzročil znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
