Captive sales
Interna prodaja
Two Russian exporting producers claimed that captive sales of granular PTFE of at least two Community producers had increased significantly during the period considered.
Oba ruska proizvajalca izvoznika sta trdila, da se je interna prodaja granuliranega PTFE vsaj dveh proizvajalcev Skupnosti bistveno povečala v obravnavanem obdobju.
It was argued that, given that these sales were usually unprofitable, the increase in captive sales should be considered as a possible cause for the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Trdila sta, da bi bilo treba ob upoštevanju navadno nerentabilnega značaja navedenih prodaj povečanje interne prodaje obravnavati kot možen vzrok škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
In this regard, the investigation revealed that captive sales constituted only around 5 % of the Community industry’s total production volume during the IP.
V zvezi s tem je preiskava razkrila, da je bil delež interne prodaje v celotnem obsegu proizvodnje industrije Skupnosti v OP samo 5 %.
Given these low quantities, it was concluded that, even if unprofitable, captive sales could not break the causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and Russia and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Ob upoštevanju tega nizkega odstotka je bilo sklenjeno, da tudi, če bi bila nerentabilna, interna prodaja ne bi mogla prekiniti vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in Rusije ter znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
No competition between granular PTFE imported from Russia and the PRC and the PTFE produced and sold by the Community industry
Odsotnost konkurence med granuliranim PTFE, uvoženim iz Rusije in LRK, ter PTFE, ki ga je proizvedla in prodala industrija Skupnosti
One exporting producer claimed that since the granular PTFE imported from the countries concerned would be of an overall lower quality and would not compete with the product sold by the Community industry in the Community market, any injury suffered by the Community industry cannot have been caused by the imports under consideration.
En proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da vzrok škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, ne bi mogel biti obravnavani uvoz, saj je bil granulirani PTFE, uvožen iz zadevnih držav, na splošno slabše kakovosti in ni konkuriral izdelku, ki ga je prodajala industrija Skupnosti na trgu Skupnosti.
In this respect, it is recalled that in recitals 12 to 14 of this Regulation it was concluded that despite different possible product types, including quality differences, the granular PTFE produced by the Community industry and the product concerned imported from the countries concerned have the same physical characteristics and essentially the same basic end-uses.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da je bilo v uvodnih izjavah (12) do (14) te uredbe sklenjeno, da imata kljub različnim možnim vrstam izdelka, vključno z razlikami v kakovosti, granulirani PTFE, ki ga je proizvedla industrija Skupnosti, in zadevni izdelek, uvožen iz zadevnih držav, enake fizikalne lastnosti in v bistvu enako osnovno končno uporabo.
As set out in recitals 16, 90 and 92 of the provisional Regulation and in recital 10 of this Regulation, the investigation also confirmed that all imported product types are in competition with those produced and sold by the Community industry on the Community market.
Kakor je določeno v uvodnih izjavah (16), (90) in (92) začasne uredbe in v uvodni izjavi (10) te uredbe, je preiskava potrdila tudi, da vse uvožene vrste izdelka konkurirajo izdelkom, ki jih je industrija Skupnosti proizvedla in prodala na trgu Skupnosti.
Therefore, the above claim had to be rejected.
Zato je bilo treba zgornji zahtevek zavrniti.
As mentioned in recital 89 of this Regulation, the increase of export sales from the Community industry was in fact 54 %.
Kakor je omenjeno v uvodni izjavi (89) te uredbe, se je izvoz industrije Skupnosti povečal za 54 %.
However, the main conclusions in recital 134 of the provisional Regulation, i.e. that these increased exports constituted only a small part of the Community industry’s total sales (namely 12,7 % during the IP) are confirmed.
Vendar so glavni sklepi iz uvodne izjave (134) začasne uredbe, tj. da je ta povečan izvoz predstavljal le majhen del celotne prodaje industrije Skupnosti (tj. 12,7 % v OP), potrjeni.
Therefore, and in the absence of any other comments in this particular regard, the findings in recital 134 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Zato in ker glede tega ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, se potrdijo ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (134) začasne uredbe.
Exchange rate fluctuations
Nihanje menjalnega tečaja
Some interested parties argued that the depreciation of the United States dollar (USD) against the euro would have caused the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so trdile, da je škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, verjetno povzročila amortizacija ameriškega dolarja glede na euro.
It was claimed that: (i) the depreciation of the USD would have reduced the Community industry’s export sales to the United States; and (ii) increased the competitiveness of the Russian and Chinese imports.
Trdile so, da (i) je amortizacija USD zmanjšala izvoz industrije Skupnosti v Združene države in (ii) povečala konkurenčnost ruskega in kitajskega uvoza.
As far as the export sales of the Community industry are concerned, these parties did not provide any underlying evidence but based their statement on mere assumptions.
Te stranke niso predložile nobenega dokaza v zvezi z izvozom industrije Skupnosti, ampak so svoje trditve utemeljile le na domnevah.
They did not, in particular, specify whether export sales of the Community industry would have allegedly been reduced in volume or in value or in both.
Zlasti niso navedle, ali naj bi se zmanjšal obseg ali vrednost izvozne prodaje industrije Skupnosti ali oba.
In any case, as already concluded in recital 118 of this Regulation, the Community industry export sales increased by 54 % during the period considered.
Kakor je bilo že ugotovljeno v uvodni izjavi (118) te uredbe, pa se je izvoz industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 54 %.
As indicated in recital 134 of the provisional Regulation, the profit margin realised by the Community industry on these export sales was higher than the one realised on sales in the Community market.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (134) začasne uredbe, je bila stopnja dobička industrije Skupnosti pri tem izvozu višja kot pri prodaji na trgu Skupnosti.
Therefore, the export sales development of the Community industry could not be considered to have any negative impact on the situation of the Community industry.
Zato negativen vpliv razvoja izvozne prodaje industrije Skupnosti na stanje industrije Skupnosti ni bil mogoč.
As far as imports from Russia and the PRC are concerned, it must be noted that they were significantly dumped, i.e. reaching dumping margins of 36,6 % for Russia and almost 100 % for the PRC.
Treba je opomniti, da se je uvoz iz Rusije in LRK bistveno zmanjšal, tj. dosegel 36,6 % stopnjo dampinga za Rusijo in 100 % za LRK.
On the other hand, imports from other countries into the Community representing roughly 25 % of the Community consumption were made at significantly higher prices than those from Russia and the PRC, despite the depreciation of the USD.
Po drugi strani je bil uvoz iz drugih držav v Skupnost, ki je predstavljal približno 25 % potrošnje Skupnosti, kljub amortizaciji ameriškega dolarja uvožen po bistveno višjih cenah kot uvoz iz Rusije in LRK.
Also, the undercutting of the imports under consideration was substantial throughout the whole period and exceeded by far the depreciation rate of the USD against the euro.
Prav tako je bilo nelojalno nižanje cen občutno v vsem obdobju in je daleč preseglo amortizacijsko stopnjo ameriškega dolarja glede na euro.
This claim is therefore rejected.
Ta zahtevek je zato zavrnjen.
Based on the abovementioned considerations and other elements contained in recitals 121 to 138 of the provisional Regulation, it is concluded that dumped imports from Russia and the PRC have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgornjih premislekov in drugih elementov iz uvodne izjave (121) do (138) začasne uredbe je sklenjeno, da sta dampinški uvoz iz Rusije in LRK povzročila znatno škodo industriji Skupnosti v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
Financial impact on users
Finančni vpliv na uporabnike
Several users reiterated their main concern that the imposition of definitive measures would have a serious adverse impact on their financial situation since they would not be able to pass on the expected increase in costs resulting from the imposition of anti-dumping measures to their customers.
Številni uporabniki so ponovno poudarili svojo zaskrbljenost, da bo uvedba dokončnih ukrepov zelo negativno vplivala na njihovo finančno stanje, saj zaradi vzpostavitve protidampinških ukrepov na svoje stranke ne bodo mogli prenesti pričakovanega povečanja stroškov.
In this regard, subsequent to provisional disclosure, five users/processors not cooperating so far were contacted and invited to fill in a questionnaire.
V zvezi s tem so bili po začasnem razkritju navezani stiki s petimi uporabniki/predelovalci, ki do takrat niso sodelovali, katerim je nato Komisija poslala vprašalnik.
These users/processors who only requested a questionnaire after imposition of provisional measures were previously unknown to the Community institutions.
Ti uporabniki/predelovalci, ki so vprašalnik zahtevali po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov, so bili pred tem institucijam Skupnosti neznani.
It was found that a number of these users were importing the majority of the granular PTFE used in their production/processing process from the countries under consideration.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so številni izmed teh uporabnikov večino granuliranega PTFE, ki so ga uporabljali za svojo proizvodnjo/predelavo, uvažali iz obravnavanih držav.
These users represented a large part of the total imports from Russia and the PRC, as well as the total Community consumption.
Ti uporabniki so predstavljali velik del celotnega uvoza iz Rusije in LRK kot tudi celotne potrošnje Skupnosti.
They alleged that anti-dumping measures would have a significant impact on their profitability.
Trdili so, da bi imeli protidampinški ukrepi bistven vpliv na njihovo dobičkonosnost.
Under these circumstances and given the low number of users cooperating prior to the imposition of provisional measures, as well as the alleged impact of the imposition of anti-dumping measures, it was considered warranted to accept these replies, albeit submitted at a late stage of the investigation, in order to have findings as representative as possible.
V teh okoliščinah in ob upoštevanju majhnega števila uporabnikov, ki so sodelovali pred uvedbo začasnih ukrepov, ter ob upoštevanju domnevnega vpliva uvedbe protidampinških ukrepov, se je štelo, da je utemeljeno sprejeti te odgovore, čeprav so bili predloženi v pozni fazi preiskave, da bi bile ugotovitve reprezentativne v največji možni meri.
Four users replied to the questionnaire (one only partially).
Štirje uporabniki so odgovorili na vprašalnik (en samo delno).
One of these users was a transformer of granular PTFE, with part of its production directly competing with the Community producers on the granular PTFE market, while the other users were processors producing semi-finished and finished products, by using granular PTFE directly in their production process.
Eden od teh uporabnikov je bil preoblikovalec granuliranega PTFE, del njegove proizvodnje pa je neposredno konkuriral proizvajalcem Skupnosti na trgu granuliranega PTFE, medtem ko so bili drugi uporabniki predelovalci, ki so proizvajali polizdelke in končne izdelke in so v svojem proizvodnem postopku neposredno uporabljali granulirani PTFE.
The users already cooperating prior to the imposition of provisional measures and the ones coming forward after imposition of provisional duties were also invited to submit additional information regarding their cost of production, with a view to complementing the data used for the provisional findings and to allow a detailed, in-depth analysis of all aspects of the situation of different users, in particular to calculate the precise impact of the anti-dumping measures on their profitability.
Uporabniki, ki so že sodelovali pred uvedbo začasnih ukrepov, in tisti, ki so sodelovali po uvedbi začasnih dajatev, so bili prav tako pozvani, da predložijo dodatne informacije o svojih stroških proizvodnje, da bi se dopolnili podatki, uporabljeni za začasne ugotovitve, in bi se omogočila podrobna in poglobljena analiza vseh vidikov stanja različnih uporabnikov, zlasti pri izračunu natančnega vpliva protidampinških ukrepov na njihovo dobičkonosnost.
However, only four companies replied to this additional request.
Vendar so samo štiri družbe odgovorile na to dodatno zahtevo.
In summary, a total of seven users cooperated, representing 67,8 % of total imports from the countries concerned and 41,3 % of the total Community consumption.
Skupaj je sodelovalo sedem uporabnikov, ki so predstavljali 67,8 % celotnega uvoza iz zadevnih držav in 41,3 % celotne potrošnje Skupnosti.
The additional investigation revealed that the impact of definitive anti-dumping duties on users would vary significantly depending on the quantity of imported granular PTFE used in their production processes.
Dodatna preiskava je razkrila, da je vpliv protidampinških dajatev na uporabnike bistveno drugačen in je odvisen od količine uvoženega granuliranega PTFE, ki ga uporabljajo v svojih proizvodnih postopkih.
In this regard, the calculations were made on the basis of the assumption that none of the users would be able to pass the price increase on to their customers.
V zvezi s tem so izračuni temeljili na domnevi, da noben uporabnik ne bi mogel prenesti zvišanja cene na svoje stranke.
In this hypothetical worst case scenario, for two companies, sourcing between 70 and 80 % of granular PTFE from the countries under consideration, the impact of the measures on their profitability was estimated to be up to 7,5 %.
Za najslabši možni primer je bil za dve družbi, ki dobivajo 70 % do 80 % granuliranega PTFE iz obravnavanih držav, vpliv ukrepov na njihovo dobičkonosnost ocenjen na 7,5 %.
For the remaining cooperating users, importing less than 30 % of their raw material from the countries under consideration, the impact, under the assumption that the price increase would not even be partly passed on to their customers, was estimated at a maximum of 2,7 %.
Za ostale sodelujoče uporabnike, ki uvažajo manj kot 30 % svojih surovin iz obravnavanih držav, je bil vpliv pod pogojem, da se zvišanje cen ne bo niti delno preneslo na njihove stranke, ocenjen na največ 2,7 %.
It should be noted, however, that the investigation also confirmed that price increases in the Community, as a consequence of the imposition of anti-dumping measures, will very likely be passed on to the final customer.
Vendar je treba opomniti, da je preiskava potrdila tudi, da se bodo zvišanja cen v Skupnosti zaradi uvedbe protidampinških ukrepov zelo verjetno prenesla na končno stranko.
In that respect, it was considered that the high price pressure in the Community was mainly due to the low-priced imports from the PRC and Russia.
V zvezi s tem se je štelo, da je vzrok pritiska zaradi visokih cen v Skupnosti predvsem poceni uvoz iz LRK in Rusije.
It is therefore expected that with the imposition of anti-dumping measures, price levels of granular PTFE in the Community will generally increase.
Zato se pričakuje, da se bodo z uvedbo protidampinških ukrepov ravni cene granuliranega PTFE v Skupnosti na splošno zvišale.
The investigation also revealed that downstream products were partly resold via distributors benefiting from high margins, which indicates that those distributors have the potential to absorb price increases.
Preiskava je prav tako razkrila, da so bili izdelki v nadaljnjem proizvodnem procesu deloma ponovno prodani preko distributerjev z visokimi stopnjami dobička, kar kaže, da ti distributerji lahko absorbirajo zvišanja cen.
Finally, it was found that there was very little competition in the market of semi-finished and finished products produced from granular PTFE from third countries during the IP, which also indicates that price increases would likely be passed on to the final customers.
Nazadnje je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bilo na trgu polizdelkov in končnih izdelkov, proizvedenih iz granuliranega PTFE iz tretjih držav med OP zelo malo konkurence, iz česar se prav tako lahko sklepa, da bi se zvišanja cen verjetno prenesla na končne stranke.
Indeed, the semi-finished and finished products market is dominated by Community processors, rather than imported products, which will all be equally subject to the anti-dumping duties.
Dejansko na trgu polizdelkov in končnih izdelkov prevladujejo predelovalci Skupnosti in ne uvoženi izdelki, ki bodo vsi v enaki meri predmet protidampinških dajatev.
Therefore, it is expected that a price increase will equally affect all Community operators concerned and no price pressure is expected from imported products.
Zato naj bi zvišanje cen vplivalo v enaki meri na vse zadevne subjekte Skupnosti, medtem ko uvoženi izdelki ne bi smeli povzročiti cenovnega pritiska.
For these reasons, it is concluded that users will in all likelihood be able to pass on a considerable part of the cost increase to their customers, so that the estimated impact of anti-dumping measures on their profitability should, in reality, be much more limited than in the worst case scenario.
Zato se sklene, da bodo uporabniki po vsej verjetnosti lahko prenesli precejšen del povečanja stroškov na svoje stranke, tako da bi moral biti ocenjeni vpliv protidampinških ukrepov na njihovo dobičkonosnost dejansko bolj omejen kot v omenjenem najslabšem primeru.
Secondly, it should be noted that, even if the price increase could not be partly passed on, which is not a realistic hypothesis, the impact on the profitability of the above four cooperating users would not appear to be disproportionate.
Drugič, treba je opomniti, da tudi v primeru, ko zvišanja cen ne bi bilo mogoče niti delno prenesti na stranke, kar ni verjetna domneva, vpliv na dobičkonosnost zgoraj omenjenih štirih sodelujočih uporabnikov ne bi bil nesorazmeren.
Two of the users would still be profitable, even in that of worst case scenario.
Dva uporabnika bi še vedno imela dobiček, in sicer tudi v navedenem najslabšem primeru.
One of the cooperating producers, for which the estimated impact of any anti-dumping measure would be slightly more than 1 %, already realised significant losses during the IP, which were not linked to the anti-dumping measures.
Eden od sodelujočih proizvajalcev, na katerega naj bi po ocenah dampinški ukrep vplival le 1 %, je že med OP utrpel velike izgube, ki niso bile povezane s protidampinškimi ukrepi.
Any price increase due to anti-dumping duties would therefore not have a considerable impact on its business performance.
Kakršno koli zvišanje cen zaradi protidampinških dajatev naj torej ne bi imelo občutnega vpliva na njegove poslovne rezultate.
Finally, the last user had a significant gross margin, i.e. over 30 % and it is therefore expected that it can itself, at least partly absorb any price increase due to the imposition of anti-dumping duties.
Nazadnje je zadnji uporabnik imel precejšno bruto stopnjo, tj. več kot 30 %, in se zato pričakuje, da lahko vsaj delno absorbira vsako zvišanje cen, ki ga povzroči uvedba protidampinških dajatev.
As mentioned in recital 125 of this Regulation, the above findings reflect the situation of users representing almost 70 % of the total imports from the countries concerned and roughly 40 % of the Community consumption.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (125) te uredbe, zgornje ugotovitve kažejo stanje uporabnikov, ki predstavljajo skoraj 70 % celotnega uvoza iz zadevnih držav, in približno 40 % potrošnje Skupnosti.
The investigation covered also different types of users, i.e. representing different industrial sectors, using granular PTFE either directly or in semi-finished products, some importing high quantities from the countries concerned, others only limited quantities.
Preiskava je vključila tudi različne vrste uporabnikov, tj. iz različnih industrijskih sektorjev, ki uporabljajo granulirani PTFE neposredno ali v polizdelkih; nekateri iz zadevnih držav uvažajo velike količine, drugi samo omejene količine.
It was therefore considered that the above findings could be regarded as largely representative.
Zato se je štelo, da se zgornje ugotovitve lahko obravnava kot zelo reprezentativne.
It should also be noted that, as mentioned in recital 147 of the provisional Regulation, the impact of the anti-dumping duties on certain users is negligible due to the fact that granular PTFE constitutes a rather low proportion of their overall costs.
Prav tako je treba opomniti, da je vpliv protidampinških dajatev na nekatere uporabnike zanemarljiv, saj granulirani PTFE predstavlja majhen delež njihovih skupnih stroškov, kot je omenjeno v uvodni izjavi (147) začasne uredbe.
Furthermore, it should be noted that all cooperating users have a significant business outside the Community.
Poleg tega je treba opomniti, da vsi sodelujoči uporabniki pogosto poslujejo zunaj Skupnosti.
Indeed, 24,6 % of the users’ sales volume is exported outside the Community.
Dejansko uporabniki 24,6 % svojega prodajnega obsega izvozijo izven Skupnosti.
This implies that the inward processing regime would allow these users to claim back or to avoid paying the anti-dumping duties levied on the imported granular PTFE.
To pomeni, da bi postopek aktivnega oplemenitenja tem uporabnikom omogočil, da protidampinške dajatve, obračunane za uvožen granulirani PTFE, zahtevajo nazaj ali se izognejo njihovemu plačilu.
Consequently, this segment of the users’ business will not be affected by the measures.
Zato ta del poslovanja uporabnikov ne bo zajet v ukrepe.
Finally, when considering the possible effects of measures on users, it should also be noted that their current financial situation is partly due to the unfair competition resulting from the existence of dumped imports.
Nazadnje moramo ob upoštevanju možnih učinkov ukrepov na uporabnike opomniti tudi, da je njihovo trenutno finančno stanje deloma posledica nepoštene konkurence, nastale zaradi obstoja dampinškega uvoza.
This should be taken into account, when balancing the possible negative impact of measures on users against the positive effects on other interested parties, in particular the Community industry.
To je treba upoštevati pri usklajevanju možnega negativnega vpliva ukrepov na uporabnike in pozitivnega vpliva na druge zainteresirane stranke, zlasti na industrijo Skupnosti.
For all the abovementioned reasons, it is concluded that the likely effect of measures on users would not be disproportionate.
Zaradi vseh zgoraj navedenih razlogov se sklene, da verjetni učinek ukrepov na uporabnike ne bi bil nesorazmeren.
It was therefore concluded that the imposition of definitive anti-dumping duties would not be against the Community interest.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da uvedba dokončnih protidampinških dajatev ne bi bila v nasprotju z interesi Skupnosti.
Imports of semi-finished and finished products
