natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
As in the previous investigations, this investigation has shown that the furfuraldehyde produced in the PRC and exported to the Community, the furfuraldehyde produced and sold on the domestic market of the analogue country Argentina and the furfuraldehyde manufactured and sold in the Community by the Community producers have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics, and the same basic uses.
Tako kot prejšnje preiskave je tudi ta pokazala, da imajo furfuraldehid, izdelan v LRK in izvožen v Skupnost, furfuraldehid, izdelan in prodajan na domačem trgu primerljive države Argentine, in furfuraldehid, proizveden in prodajan na ozemlju Skupnosti s strani proizvajalcev iz Skupnosti, enake fizikalne in kemične lastnosti in enak osnovni način uporabe.
They were therefore considered to be like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Zato se štejejo za podobne izdelke v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUATION OF DUMPING
VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA DAMPINGA
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether dumping was currently taking place and, if so, whether or not the expiry of the measures would be likely to lead to a continuation of dumping.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo preverjeno, ali je damping trenutno prisoten in, če je tako, ali se bo zaradi izteka ukrepov damping nadaljeval.
Of the 24 Chinese exporting producers named in the complaint, none cooperated with the investigation and no information was submitted by any of these companies.
Izmed štiriindvajsetih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki jih navaja pritožba, ni nobeden sodeloval pri preiskavi, nobeno izmed teh podjetij pa tudi ni posredovalo informacij.
In view of this non-cooperation by the Chinese exporting producers, the findings on dumping set out below had to be based on facts available, in particular Eurostat data and information submitted in the review request.
Glede na to, da kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso sodelovali, so se morale ugotovitve o dampingu, ki so navedene spodaj, naslanjati na razpoložljiva dejstva, zlasti podatke Eurostata in informacije, predložene v zahtevi po pregledu.
In this respect, it is noted that Eurostat shows only imports for inward processing during the IP.
V tej zvezi je treba omeniti, da Eurostat prikazuje samo uvoz za aktivno oplemenitenje med OP.
Since the PRC is an economy in transition, normal value had to be based on information obtained in an appropriate market economy third country in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.
Ker je gospodarstvo LRK v tranziciji, je morala normalna vrednost temeljiti na informacijah iz ustrezne tretje države s tržnim gospodarstvom v skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe.
As in the original investigation, in the notice of initiation Argentina was proposed as analogue country for the purposes of establishing normal value.
Kot pri prvotni preiskavi je bila v obvestilu o začetku kot primerljiva država za določitev normalne vrednosti predlagana Argentina.
Following the publication of the notice of initiation, no comments concerning the proposed analogue country were received.
Po objavi obvestila o začetku ni prispela nobena pripomba v zvezi s predlagano primerljivo državo.
One producer of furfuraldehyde in Argentina cooperated with the investigation by replying to the questionnaire and accepting an on-spot verification of its reply.
Pri preiskavi je sodeloval eden izmed proizvajalcev furfuraldehida v Argentini, tako da je odgovoril na vprašalnik in privolil v preverjanje odgovorov na kraju samem.
The investigation showed that Argentina has a competitive market for furfuraldehyde with around 72 % of the market supplied by local production and the rest by imports from third countries.
Preiskava je pokazala, da ima Argentina konkurenčni trg za furfuraldehid, pri čemer okrog 72 % trga oskrbujejo lokalni proizvajalci, ostalo pa je uvoz iz tretjih držav.
The production volume in Argentina constitutes more than 60 % of the volume of Chinese exports of the product concerned to the Community for inward processing.
Obseg proizvodnje v Argentini predstavlja več kot 60 % obsega kitajskega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost za aktivno oplemenitenje.
The Argentinean market was therefore deemed sufficiently representative for the determination of normal value for the PRC.
Argentinski trg se tako šteje kot dovolj reprezentativen za določitev normalne vrednosti za LRK.
It is therefore concluded, as in the original investigation, that Argentina constitutes an appropriate analogue country in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.
Tako kot pri prvotni preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da Argentina predstavlja primerno primerljivo državo v skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe.
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, normal value was established on the basis of verified information received from the cooperating producer in the analogue country, i.e. on the basis of the price paid or payable on the domestic market of Argentina to unrelated customers, since these sales were found to be made in the ordinary course of trade.
Na podlagi člena 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe je bila normalna vrednost določena na osnovi preverjenih informacij, prejetih od sodelujočega proizvajalca v primerljivi državi, tj. na podlagi cen, ki se plačujejo na domačem trgu Argentine nepovezanim strankam, saj je bilo ugotovljeno, da je do teh prodaj prišlo v običajnem poteku trgovine.
As a result, normal value was established as the weighted average domestic sales price to unrelated customers by the cooperating producer in Argentina.
Posledično je bila normalna vrednost določena kot tehtano povprečje domačih prodajnih cen za nepovezane stranke s strani sodelujočega proizvajalca v Argentini.
As none of the Chinese exporters to the Community cooperated with the investigation, export prices were established on the basis of the facts available.
Ker nobeden izmed kitajskih izvoznikov v Skupnost ni sodeloval pri preiskavi, so bile izvozne cene določene na osnovi razpoložljivih dejstev.
The most appropriate basis was found to be Eurostat data in relation to Community imports of the product concerned.
Kot najprimernejša osnova so se izkazali podatki Eurostata v zvezi z uvozom zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost.
Though these imports were made under inward processing arrangements (Chinese furfuraldehyde was further processed into furfuryl alcohol for export), there was no reason to believe that they were not a reasonable basis for establishing export prices.
Čeprav je ta uvoz potekal po postopkih aktivnega oplemenitenja (kitajski furfuraldehid se je predelal v furfuril alkohol za izvoz), ni bilo razlogov za domnevo, da niso ustrezna osnova za določitev izvoznih cen.
Furthermore, the verification visit at the cooperating importer confirmed that the Eurostat data were in line with the verified data.
Poleg tega so preveritveni obiski pri sodelujočem uvozniku potrdili, da so podatki Eurostata skladni s preverjenimi podatki.
The export price was thus established on the basis of the Eurostat data on Chinese imports for inward processing.
Izvozna cena je bila tako določena na osnovi podatkov Eurostata o kitajskem uvozu za aktivno oplemenitenje.
For the purposes of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, and in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made with regard to certain differences in transport and insurance, which affected prices and price comparability.
Za zagotovitev poštene primerjave med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno ter v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe se je izvedlo ustrezno nadomestilo z uskladitvijo razlik glede na določene razlike pri transportu in zavarovanju, ki so vplivale na cene in primerljivost cen.
In accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin was established on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average normal value with the weighted average export prices at the same level of trade.
V skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe je bila stopnja dampinga določena na osnovi primerjave med tehtano povprečno normalno vrednostjo in tehtanim povprečjem izvoznih cen pri enaki stopnji trgovine.
This comparison showed the existence of significant dumping.
Ta primerjava je pokazala obstoj znatnega dampinga.
In fact, the dumping margin found for the IP is higher than the dumping margin of 62,6 % established in the original investigation and in the previous review.
Ugotovljena stopnja dampinga v OP je bila višja od 62,6 % stopnje dampinga, ki je bila ugotovljena v prvotni preiskavi in prejšnjem pregledu.
Development of exports should measures be repealed
Razvoj izvoza v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov
The investigation has shown that the quantities exported from the PRC to the Community for inward processing have increased significantly from 2000 to the IP (see recital (33) below).
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je količina furfuraldehida, izvoženega iz LRK v Skupnost za aktivno oplemenitenje, od leta 2000 do OP občutno povečala (glej uvodno izjavo (33) spodaj).
If the measures were repealed, it can be expected that exports from the PRC would increase significantly also outside inward processing arrangements, given the significant price difference between the Chinese and the EC producer's furfuraldehyde and the unused capacity explained in recital (26) below.
Če bi bili ukrepi razveljavljeni, je glede na občutno razliko v cenah furfuraldehida pri kitajskem proizvajalcu in proizvajalcu iz ES ter neizkoriščene zmogljivosti, ki so razvidne iz uvodne izjave (26) spodaj, mogoče pričakovati, da se bo izvoz iz LRK znatno povečal tudi izven postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja.
Unused capacity in the PRC
Neizkoriščene zmogljivosti v LRK
Since little public information is available about the Chinese industry of furfuraldehyde, the following conclusions rely mainly on the information contained in the review request.
Ker je o kitajski industriji furfuraldehida razpoložljivih malo javnih informacij, se naslednji zaključki opirajo pretežno na informacije iz zahteve po pregledu.
According to the request for the expiry review, the total Chinese production of furfuraldehyde is around 180000 tonnes per year, which is more than four times higher than the total Community consumption of furfuraldehyde.
Kot navaja zahteva po pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa, kitajska proizvodnja furfuraldehida dosega okrog 180000 ton letno, kar je več kot štirikrat več od celotne porabe furfuraldehida v Skupnosti.
The Chinese capacity utilisation rate is said to be around 70 % which means that there is idle capacity of around 50-60000 tonnes per year in the PRC, i.e. more than total consumption in the Community.
Kitajska naj bi imela 70 % stopnjo izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, kar pomeni, da je v LRK letno neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti okrog 50–60000 ton, tj. več, kot je celotna poraba v Skupnosti.
According to the Community producers, the Chinese production is constantly changing in accordance with need.
Po mnenju proizvajalcev v Skupnosti se kitajska proizvodnja stalno spreminja v skladu s potrebami.
In this regard, some plants are closed for temporary periods and then reopened when needed.
Tako so nekatere tovarne začasno zaprte in se nato ponovno odprejo, kadar je to potrebno.
More than 80 production plants of furfuraldehyde are said to operate currently, mainly in the North-East part of the PRC.
Trenutno naj bi delovalo več kot 80 tovarn, ki izdelujejo furfuraldehid, večinoma v severovzhodnem delu LRK.
Consequently, the large production capacity available in the PRC and the flexibility with regard to reopening plants demonstrate that producers are able to quickly increase production and direct it to any export market, including, if the measures were to be repealed, to the Community market.
Zato velike proizvodne zmogljivosti, ki so na razpolago v LRK, in prilagodljivost glede ponovnega odpiranja tovarn nakazujejo, da lahko proizvajalci v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov hitro povečajo proizvodnjo in jo usmerijo na kateri koli izvozni trg, vključno s trgom Skupnosti.
Exports for inward processing
Izvoz za aktivno oplemenitenje
It is noted that all the exports from the PRC of the product concerned to the Community during the IP were made for inward processing.
Omeniti je treba, da je bil celoten izvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK v Skupnost v OP namenjen za aktivno oplemenitenje.
The Chinese furfuraldehyde was further processed into furfuryl alcohol which was then exported.
Kitajski furfuraldehid je bil predelan v furfuril alkohol, ta pa se je izvozil.
It is reasonable to assume that a repeal of the measures would result in a resumption of exports from the PRC to the Community outside the inward processing arrangements.
Upravičeno je torej domnevati, da bi razveljavitev ukrepov povzročila ponoven izvoz iz LRK v Skupnost izven postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja.
Such additional exports would in all likelihood also be significantly dumped.
Dodatni izvoz bi bil po vsej verjetnosti v veliki meri dampinški.
Indeed, the current export prices made under inward processing arrangements are not affected by anti-dumping duties as such exports obviously do not bear any duty.
Sedanje izvozne cene v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja seveda niso podvržene protidampinškim dajatvam, saj na tak izvoz ni dajatev.
The Community producers and the Chinese exporters competed for these sales on the basis as if there was no duty.
Proizvajalec v Skupnosti in kitajski izvozniki so si pri prodaji konkurirali, kot če ne bi bilo dajatev.
Thus, it can be reasonably assumed that such prices are also indicative as to future price levels should measures be repealed.
Tako se lahko upravičeno domneva, da take cene nakazujejo bodoče ravni cen, če bodo ukrepi razveljavljeni.
Moreover, it is also noted that Chinese export prices under inward processing were undercutting the Community producers' prices by 44 % in the IP and that even if they did not undercut Community prices, they would still be dumped.
Poleg tega je treba omeniti, da so bile kitajske izvozne cene v okviru aktivnega oplemenitenja v OP za 44 % nižje od cen proizvajalcev v Skupnosti in tudi če ne bi bile nižje, bi bile še vedno dampinške.
Conclusion on the likelihood of a continuation of dumping
Sklep v zvezi z verjetnostjo nadaljevanja dampinga
Since the PRC has significant unused production capacity and is currently only exporting to the Community for inward processing, it could reasonably be expected that, should the measures be repealed, additional volumes would be directed towards the Community market in significant quantities.
Ker ima LRK veliko neizkoriščenih proizvodnih zmogljivosti in trenutno izvaža v Skupnost samo za aktivno oplemenitenje, je upravičeno pričakovati, da bodo v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov na trg Skupnosti usmerjene večje dodatne količine furfuraldehida.
The investigation has shown that exports from the PRC are still made at dumped prices and that the dumping margin during the IP was found to be even higher than the dumping margin established in the previous review.
Preiskava je pokazala, da LRK še vedno izvaža po dampinških cenah in da je bila stopnja dampinga, ugotovljena v OP, celo višja od stopnje dampinga, ki je bila določena pri prejšnjem pregledu.
Given the circumstances of the case, it is reasonable to expect that dumping is likely to continue in the future.
Glede na okoliščine tega primera je upravičeno pričakovati, da se bo damping v bodoče nadaljeval.
There are two Community producers of the product concerned.
Zadevni izdelek izdelujeta v Skupnosti dva proizvajalca.
In addition to the applicant, the other Community producer, Lenzing AG (‘the other Community producer’), supported the request for a review.
Poleg vlagatelja je tudi drugi proizvajalec v Skupnosti, Lenzing AG („drugi proizvajalec v Skupnosti“), podprl zahtevo po pregledu.
During the IP, the two producers represented 100 % of the Community production of furfuraldehyde.
V OP sta oba proizvajalca skupaj predstavljala 100 % proizvodnje furfuraldehida v Skupnosti.
Both companies replied to the questionnaires and fully cooperated in the investigation.
Obe podjetji sta odgovorili na vprašalnik in v celoti sodelovali pri preiskavi.
On this basis, the two Community producers constitute the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Na tej osnovi oba proizvajalca v Skupnosti predstavljata industrijo Skupnosti v smislu členov 4(1) in 5(4) osnovne uredbe.
For reasons of confidentiality data concerning the performance of the Community industry are given only in indexed form.
Zaradi zaupnosti so podatki o uspešnosti industrije Skupnosti podani samo v indeksni obliki.
SITUATION OF THE COMMUNITY MARKET
RAZMERE NA TRGU SKUPNOSTI
Y/Y trend
Letni trend
Community consumption was based on the combined volume of sales made by the Community industry in the Community and imports from the PRC made under inward processing and imports from other third countries.
Poraba v Skupnosti je temeljila na skupnem obsegu prodaje v Skupnosti s strani industrije Skupnosti, uvoza iz LRK v okviru aktivnega oplemenitenja in uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav.
Community consumption of furfuraldehyde increased significantly between 2000 and 2001.
Poraba furfuraldehida v Skupnosti se je občutno povečala med letoma 2000 in 2001.
In 2002, Community consumption of furfuraldehyde fell back to approximately the same level as in 2000.
Leta 2002 je poraba furfuraldehida padla približno na raven iz leta 2000.
Between 2000 and the IP, Community consumption of furfuraldehyde increased by 9 %.
Med letom 2000 in OP se je zvišala za 9 %.
The development of consumption is linked to the fact that furfuraldehyde is also used to produce furfuryl alcohol.
Gibanje porabe je povezano z dejstvom, da se furfuraldehid uporablja tudi za proizvodnjo furfuril alkohola.
The production and sales of furfuryl alcohol increased in 2001, but decreased significantly in 2002 and, as a result, consumption of furfuraldehyde dropped accordingly.
Proizvodnja in prodaja furfuril alkohola sta se leta 2001 povečali, leta 2002 pa sta občutno padli, zaradi česar je občutno padla tudi poraba furfuraldehida.
In the IP, sales and production of furfuryl alcohol recovered as well as consumption of furfuraldehyde.
V OP sta se prodaja in proizvodnja furfuril alkohola izboljšali, tako kot tudi poraba furfuraldehida.
Volume, market share and prices
Obseg, tržni delež in cene
Based on information from Eurostat, imports from the PRC were made since 2001 only under inward processing arrangements.
Po podatkih Eurostata je uvoz iz LRK od leta 2001 potekal samo po postopkih aktivnega oplemenitenja.
This practice had already started in 2000, when around 75 % of Chinese imports were under inward processing.
Ta praksa se je začela že leta 2000, ko je bilo okrog 75 % uvoza iz Kitajske namenjenega aktivnemu oplemenitenju.
The volumes imported from the PRC increased from 3198 tonnes to 5167 tonnes during the period considered, which is an increase of 61,6 % between 2000 and the IP.
Obseg uvoza iz LRK se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal s 3198 ton na 5167 ton, kar pomeni 61,6 % povečanje med letom 2000 in OP.
It is noted that in 2002 the sales of furfuryl alcohol dropped significantly.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je prodaja furfuril alkohola leta 2002 občutno padla.
However, this was followed by an increase in the IP.
Vendar pa je v OP sledilo povečanje.
The market share of these Chinese imports increased over the period considered from 8,2 % to 12,4 %.
Tržni delež uvoza iz Kitajske se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal z 8,2 % na 12,4 %.
While the fluctuations in these Chinese imports of furfuraldehyde may to a certain extent be due to fluctuations in the production of furfuryl alcohol, this cannot explain, however, the huge increase of import volumes, in particular during the IP, and of market share.
Čeprav je mogoče nihanja pri uvozu furfuraldehida iz Kitajske do določene mere pripisati nihanjem pri proizvodnji furfuril alkohola, pa s tem ni mogoče razložiti ogromnega povečanja obsega uvoza, zlasti v OP, ter tržnega deleža.
The average price of the Chinese imports declined from EUR 648,68 per ton in 2000 to EUR 508,65 per ton in the IP, which is a decline of 21,6 % during the period considered.
Povprečna cena uvoza izdelka iz Kitajske je padla s 648,68 EUR na tono leta 2000 na 508,65 EUR na tono v OP, kar pomeni 21,6 % znižanje v obravnavanem obdobju.
A trend of increased undercutting can also clearly be seen when comparing the Chinese and the Community producers' unit prices of furfuraldehyde.
Trend povečanega nelojalnega nižanja cen je jasno opazen tudi ob primerjavi cen furfuraldehida na enoto pri kitajskih proizvajalcih in proizvajalcih v Skupnosti.
In the beginning of the period considered, in 2000, the Chinese prices were 4,4 % lower than those of Community producers.
Na začetku obravnavanega obdobja, leta 2000, so bile kitajske cene za 4,4 % nižje od cen proizvajalcev v Skupnosti.
In the IP, they were 44,1 % lower.
V OP so bile nižje za 44,1 %.

Economic situation of the Community industry
Gospodarske razmere v industriji Skupnosti
Community production
Proizvodnja v Skupnosti
The Community industry's production decreased every year during the period considered, being 15 % lower in the IP than in 2000.
Proizvodnja industrije Skupnosti se je v obravnavanem obdobju vsako leto zmanjšala, tako da je bila v OP za 15 % manjša kot leta 2000.
One of the Community producers ceased the production of furfuraldehyde in one of its production plants in 2000.
Eden izmed proizvajalcev v Skupnosti je leta 2000 prenehal s proizvodnjo furfuraldehida v enem izmed svojih proizvodnih obratov.
Production capacity and capacity utilisation
Proizvodne zmogljivosti in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Community capacity
Zmogljivosti v Skupnosti
Production capacity decreased slightly during the period considered, after having increased by 3,9 % in 2001 compared to 2000.
Proizvodne zmogljivosti so se v obravnavanem obdobju rahlo zmanjšale, potem ko so se leta 2001 povečale za 3,9 % v primerjavi z letom 2000.
The cessation of furfuraldehyde production in one production plant in 2000 is not reflected in the above capacity figures, because the company still considers this plant as part of their production capacity, i.e. the production can be restarted within a short period if necessary.
Ustavitev proizvodnje furfuraldehida v enem izmed proizvodnih obratov leta 2000 se ne odraža v zgornjih številkah, saj podjetje ta obrat še vedno šteje za del svojih proizvodnih zmogljivosti; proizvodnjo je mogoče ponovno pričeti v kratkem času, če bo to potrebno.
The above table shows that capacity utilisation decreased every year during the period considered, being 14 % lower in the IP than in 2000.
Iz zgornje tabele je razvidno, da se je izkoriščenost zmogljivosti zmanjšala vsako leto obravnavanega obdobja, tako da je bila v OP za 14 % manjša kot leta 2000.
Sales in the Community
Prodaja v Skupnosti
The Community industry's sales to unrelated customers in the Community decreased by 13 % between 2000 and the IP.
Prodaja s strani industrije Skupnosti nepovezanim kupcem v Skupnosti je od leta 2000 do OP padla za 13 %.
The fall was particularly significant between 2000 and 2002 as the industry increased the prices in order to compensate for drastically increased raw material costs.
Padec je bil zlasti občuten med letoma 2000 in 2002, ko je industrija zvišala cene, da bi nadomestila močno povišane stroške surovin.
During the IP this trend could be stopped as the Community industry reduced prices in order to avoid further losses of sales volumes.
V OP bi bilo ta trend mogoče ustaviti, saj je industrija Skupnosti znižala cene, da bi se izognila nadaljnjemu upadu obsega prodaje.
