On the contrary, EU producers' prices fell slightly over the same period.
Ravno nasprotno, cene proizvajalcev EU so v enakem obdobju rahlo padle.
While third country producers of the product concerned can also be expected to have seen similar prices increases for the main petroleum-based inputs such as MEG and PTA, it was found that import prices of PSF from the countries concerned decreased significantly during the same period.
Medtem ko je mogoče pričakovati, da bodo tudi proizvajalci zadevnega izdelka iz tretjih držav doživeli podobna povišanja cen za glavne vnose, ki temeljijo na nafti, kot so MEG in PTA, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so se uvozne cene RVP iz zadevnih držav v enakem obdobju občutno znižale.
It was found, that the Community producers were not able to pass on any increased raw material costs to their customers due to the competition from dumped imports.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da proizvajalci Skupnosti povečanih stroškov surovin zaradi konkurence dampinškega uvoza niso mogli prenesti na svoje stranke.
In addition, any possible impact of the fluctuations of raw material prices on PSF prices is susceptible to affect both the Community industry and the exporters located in the countries concerned, as petroleum is a commodity with homogeneous pricing all around the world.
Dodatno, vsak možen vpliv nihanj cen surovin na cene RVP lahko vpliva tako na industrijo Skupnosti kot na izvoznike s sedežem v zadevnih državah, saj je nafta proizvod z enakimi cenami po vsem svetu.
Accordingly, the above claim was rejected.
V skladu s tem je bil zgornji zahtevek zavrnjen.
Currency fluctuations
Nihanja vrednosti valut
Attention was paid to currency fluctuations between the EURO and the USD.
Pozornost je bila namenjena nihanju vrednosti med eurom in ameriškim dolarjem.
The vast majority of import transactions from the countries concerned into the European Community are negotiated in USD.
Velika večina uvoznih poslov iz zadevnih držav v Evropsko skupnost se izvaja v USD.
The EURO has been appreciated in respect of the USD as from mid 2002, and significantly during the IP, thus favouring exports into the EURO area for that period.
Vrednost eura v primerjavi z USD se je povečevala od sredine leta 2002, občutno pa v času OP, zato se je v tem obdobju povečal obseg uvoza v euro območje.
In view of this, some interested parties have claimed that in a ‘dollar driven’ business, the depreciation of this currency in respect of the EURO must have ‘inevitably’ favoured imports of PSF into the European Community.
Zaradi tega so nekatere zainteresirane stranke trdile, da je v „poslu, ki temelji na dolarju“, padec vrednosti te valute v primerjavi z eurom gotovo „neizpodbitno“ spodbujal uvoz RVP v Evropsko skupnost.
In the particular case of PSF, imports from countries other than those found to be dumping have also benefited from the appreciation of the Euro.
V primeru RVP, je bilo ugotovljeno, da je tudi uvoz iz držav, ki niso izvajale dampinga, imel korist od povečane vrednosti eura.
However, their volumes stagnated during the period under consideration (even slightly decreasing from year 2002 to the IP), while imports from the dumping countries have increased throughout the same period by 12 %.
Njihov obseg pa je v zadevnem obdobju stagniral (od leta 2002 do OP se je celo rahlo zmanjšal), medtem ko se je uvoz iz dampinških držav v istem obdobju povečal za 12 %.
Although prima facie it cannot be excluded that the appreciation of the EURO vis-à-vis the USD might have favoured the imports of PSF from the countries concerned, the fact that currency fluctuations did not have an effect on imports from other countries, indicates that it can not be considered as a causal factor for the surge of dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Čeprav na prvi pogled ni mogoče izključiti, da bi lahko naraščajoča vrednost eura v primerjavi z USD spodbujala uvoz RVP iz zadevnih držav, dejstvo, da nihanja vrednosti valut niso imela vpliva na uvoz iz drugih držav, nakazuje, da tega ni mogoče obravnavati kot vzrok za naval dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
In addition, any allegation of EURO appreciation in respect of USD as a cause of injury of the Community industry should be valid only for the period where said appreciation took place, i.e. from mid 2002 until the end of the IP, and in particular during this latter, when differences among both currencies have been more accentuated.
Nadalje, vsaka obtožba, da je povečevanje vrednosti eura v primerjavi z USD povzročilo škodo industriji Skupnosti, velja samo za obdobje, ko se je to povečevanje dejansko dogajalo, tj. od sredine leta 2002 do konca OP, zlasti to velja za OP, ko so bile razlike med obema valutama bolj poudarjene.
Therefore, it was concluded that, although the appreciation of the EURO in respect of the USD might have favoured exports of PSF into the European Community, it does not explain the significant increase of import volumes from the countries concerned as compared to the rest of world importers.
Zato se zaključuje, da čeprav bi povečevanje vrednosti eura v primerjavi z USD lahko spodbujalo izvoz RVP v Evropsko skupnost, to ne razloži občutnega povečanja obsega uvoza iz zadevnih držav v primerjavi z ostalimi svetovnimi uvozniki.
CONCLUSION ON CAUSATION
ZAKLJUČEK O VZROČNI ZVEZI
The coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the increase of dumped imports from the countries concerned, the increase in market shares and the undercutting found and, on the other hand, the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry, lead to the conclusion that the dumped imports are a cause of the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Dejstvo, da so se hkrati pojavili povečanje dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav, povečanje tržnih deležev in ugotovljeno nelojalno znižanje cen na eni strani in poslabšanje stanja industrije Skupnosti na drugi strani, je vodilo do zaključka, da je dampinški uvoz vzrok znatne škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
In particular, a chronological parallel evolution of decreasing average prices of imports and Community industry suppressed average prices has been found.
Ugotovljen je bil zlasti kronološko vzporeden razvoj nižanja povprečnih cen uvozov in zatiranih povprečnih cen industrije Skupnosti.
This has led to a diminishing profitability for the year 2002 and the IP, i.e. when imports from the countries concerned grew the most and prices decreased most dramatically, yielded negative results.
To je pomenilo zmanjšanje donosnosti, ki je bila v letu 2002 in v OP, tj. ko se je uvoz iz zadevnih držav najbolj povečal in cene najbolj padle, negativna.
After analysing some factors, such as development of consumption, imports from countries other than the concerned, the market behaviour of non-complainant producers and the low level of investments carried out by the Community industry, it is concluded that they cannot have caused material injury to the Community industry.
Po analizi nekaterih dejavnikov, kot so razvoj porabe, uvoz iz drugih držav, ki niso zadevne države, tržno obnašanje proizvajalcev, ki se niso pritožili, in nizka stopnja naložb, ki jih je izvedla industrija Skupnosti, je bilo zaključeno, da ti dejavniki industriji Skupnosti niso mogli povzročiti znatne škode.
On the other hand, although it cannot be excluded that other factors, such as the fluctuation of raw material prices and the currency fluctuations could have contributed to the injurious situation of the Community industry, the effect of said factors is not such as to alter the finding that there is genuine and substantial causal link between the dumped imports from the countries concerned and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Po drugi strani pa, čeprav ni mogoče izključiti, da drugi dejavniki, kot so nihanje cen surovin in nihanja vrednosti valut, niso prispevali k stanju škode industrije Skupnosti, učinek teh dejavnikov ni tako velik, da bi vplival na ugotovitev, da obstaja jasna in občutna vzročna zveza med dampinškimi uvozi iz zadevnih držav in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
PRELIMINARY REMARK
UVODNA OPOMBA
In accordance with Article 21 of the Basic Regulation, it was considered whether the imposition of anti-dumping measures would be contrary to the interests of the Community as a whole.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe se je obravnavalo, ali bi bila uvedba protidampinških ukrepov v nasprotju z interesi Skupnosti kot celote.
The determination of the Community interest was based on an examination of all the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Community industry, the importers, traders and the users of the product concerned.
Določitev interesa Skupnosti je temeljila na pregledu vseh različnih zadevnih interesov, tj. interesov industrije Skupnosti, uvoznikov, trgovcev in uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
In order to assess the likely impact of the imposition or non-imposition of measures it was requested information from all interested parties which were either known to be concerned or which made themselves known.
Da bi ocenili možen vpliv uvedbe ali neuvedbe ukrepov, so se zahtevale informacije od vseh zainteresiranih strank, za katere je bilo znano, da jih stvar zadeva, ali pa so bile te informacije pripravljene predložiti same.
On this basis, the Commission sent questionnaires to the Community industry, 10 other Community producers, 23 users and 3 suppliers of raw materials.
Komisija je na podlagi tega poslala vprašalnike industriji Skupnosti, desetim drugim proizvajalcem Skupnosti, 23 uporabnikom in trem dobaviteljem surovin.
The 6 complainant Community industry producers, 2 non-complainant producers, 5 related importers, 15 users and 2 providers of raw materials replied to the questionnaire [8].
Na vprašalnik je odgovorilo šest proizvajalcev industrije Skupnosti pritožnikov, dva proizvajalca, ki se nista pritožila, pet nepovezanih uvoznikov, 15 uporabnikov in dva dobavitelja surovin [8].
31 unrelated importers were known at the initiation of the proceedings.
Ob začetku postopka je bilo znanih 31 nepovezanih uvoznikov.
In view of that large number of unrelated importers and in conformity with Article 17 of the Basic Regulation, the Commission decided to carry out its investigation on the basis of a sample of said unrelated importers.
Komisija se je zaradi tako velikega števila nepovezanih uvoznikov in v skladu s členom 17 osnovne uredbe odločila, da bo svojo preiskavo izvedla na podlagi vzorca teh nepovezanih uvoznikov.
The sample was selected on the basis of the largest representative volume of imports concerned which could reasonably be investigated within the time available.
Vzorec je bil izbran na podlagi največjega reprezentativnega obsega zadevnega uvoza, ki bi ga v razpoložljivem času bilo razumno mogoče pregledati.
To that purpose, five companies were initially selected for the sample, based on their volume of imports from the countries concerned.
Zato je bilo za vzorec na podlagi njihovega obsega uvoza iz zadevnih držav najprej izbranih pet družb.
One of the five selected companies was subsequently considered as non cooperating given that it refrained to fill in the full questionnaire sent to it and then disregarded as part of the sample.
Ena od teh petih izbranih družb kasneje ni več sodelovala, saj ni želela v celoti izpolniti vprašalnika, ki jim ga je Komisija poslala, zato se je kasneje ni več upoštevalo kot del vzorca.
The remaining four sampled companies covered 14,6 % of total imports concerned.
Preostale štiri družbe v vzorcu so predstavljale 14,6 % skupnega zadevnega uvoza.

On this basis, it was examined whether, despite the conclusions on dumping, on the situation of the Community industry and on causation, compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that it was not in the Community interest to impose measures in this particular case.
Na podlagi tega se je ugotavljalo, ali kljub zaključkom o dampingu, o stanju industrije Skupnosti in o vzročni zvezi obstajajo prepričljivi vzroki za zaključek, da uvedba ukrepov v tem določenem primeru ni v interesu Skupnosti.
The Community industry has suffered material injury, as set out in recitals (202) and following.
Industrija Skupnosti je utrpela znatno škodo, kot je določeno v uvodnih izjavi (202) in naslednjih.
The imposition of anti-dumping measures would allow the Community industry to reach the levels of profitability which it would have been able to achieve in the absence of dumped imports, and to take advantage of developments in the Community market.
Uvedba protidampinških ukrepov bi industriji Skupnosti omogočila doseganje stopenj donosnosti, ki bi jih dosegala, če ne bi bilo dampinškega uvoza, in izkoriščanje razvoja trga Skupnosti.
This would guarantee the viability of the Community industry PSF business.
To bi poslom RVP industrije Skupnosti zagotovilo sposobnost za preživetje.
In fact, although the Community industry has managed to develop important niche markets in the segment of higher added value or speciality PSF, it must be underlined that the core business for the Community industry remains in regular fibres for both woven and non-woven applications, segments where imports from the countries concerned are increasingly present and Community industry production is exposed the most to unfair competition.
Čeprav je industriji Skupnosti uspelo, da si je razvila pomembne tržne niše v segmentu višje dodane vrednosti RVP ali specialnega RVP, je treba poudariti, da temeljni posel za industrijo Skupnosti še vedno ostajajo navadna vlakna, tako za tkano kot za netkano uporabo, to pa so segmenti, kjer so uvozi iz zadevnih držav vedno bolj prisotni in kjer je proizvodnja industrije Skupnosti najbolj izpostavljena nelojalni konkurenci.
Speciality fibres generate high margins but are only sold in limited quantities.
Pri specialnih vlaknih so stopnje višje, a prodajajo se v omejenih količinah.
In order to maximise the capacity utilisation and to cover the fixed costs of production, the Community industry needs sales of regular or basic fibres in big volumes.
Da bi lahko čim bolj povečala izkoriščenost zmogljivosti in pokrila fiksne stroške proizvodnje, potrebuje industrija Skupnosti velik obseg prodaje navadnih oziroma osnovnih vlaken.
For this reason, the imposition of duties shall guarantee the viability of regular or basic PSF production, as well as the continuation of the production of higher added value PSF, which strongly depends on the viability of basic PSF.
Zato bo uvedba dajatev zagotovila preživetje proizvodnje navadnega oziroma osnovnega RVP, pa tudi nadaljevanje proizvodnje višje dodane vrednosti RVP, ki je v veliki meri odvisna od sposobnosti preživetja osnovnega RVP.
It is to be noted that the main supplier of specialities at a world level is the Community industry itself, and such high added value material cannot be sourced from the countries concerned in the present proceeding.
Treba je opozoriti, da je glavni dobavitelj specialnih RVP na svetovnem nivoju industrija Skupnosti sama in da takšnega materiala visoke dodane vrednosti ni mogoče uvažati iz držav, ki jih zadeva trenutni postopek.
It is considered, therefore, that the imposition of measures would be in the interest of the Community industry.
Zato se zaključuje, da bi uvedba ukrepov bila v interesu industrije Skupnosti.
IMPACT ON USERS AND IMPORTERS
VPLIV NA UPORABNIKE IN UVOZNIKE
As indicated in recitals (254) and (256), the Commission received 15 questionnaire replies from users, 4 full questionnaires from unrelated importers selected for the sample and 5 from related importers.
Kot je omenjeno zgoraj v uvodnih izjavah (254) in (256), je Komisija prejela 15 odgovorov na vprašalnik od uporabnikov, štiri izpolnjene vprašalnike od nepovezanih uvoznikov, izbranih v vzorcu, in pet od povezanih uvoznikov.
In addition, three users associations have submitted information and allegations to the Commission requesting the termination of the present proceeding without the imposition of measures.
Tudi tri združenja uporabnikov so Komisiji predložila informacije in obtožbe, v katerih zahtevajo ukinitev trenutnega postopka brez uvedbe ukrepov.
Users of the product concerned belong to the textile sector.
Uporabniki zadevnega izdelka spadajo v tekstilni sektor.
The PSF market is divided into the spinning consumption (i.e. the manufacturing of filaments for the production of textiles, after mixing or not with other fibres such as cotton or wool), the non-woven consumption (i.e. the manufacturing of sheets and webs that have not been converted into yarns and that are bonded to each other by friction, and/or cohesion, and/or adhesion, excluding paper), and the filling consumption (i.e. the stuffing or padding of certain textile goods, as for example cushions or car seats).
Trg RVP je razdeljen na porabo za predenje (tj. izdelava filamentov za proizvodnjo tekstilov, po mešanju ali brez mešanja z drugimi vlakni, kot sta bombaž ali volna), netkano porabo (tj. izdelava rjuh in mrež, ki še niso bile predelane v preje in jih veže trenje in/ali kohezija in/ali adhezija, razen papirja) in porabo za zapolnjevanje (tj. polnjenje ali oblazinjenje določenih tekstilnih izdelkov, na primer blazin ali avtomobilskih sedežev).
Most of the cooperating users in this proceeding are producers of non-woven products.
V večini so sodelujoči uporabniki v tem postopku proizvajalci netkanih izdelkov.
Said users are members of one of the three users associations cooperating in this proceeding, which represents the non-woven industry at a European level [9].
Omenjeni uporabniki so člani enega od treh združenj uporabnikov, ki sodelujejo v tem postopku in predstavlja industrijo netkanih izdelkov na evropski ravni [9].
Further to information on purchases reported in their responses to the questionnaires, cooperating users during the IP represent about 5 % of total Community consumption of PSF and about 13 % of total imports from the countries concerned.
Glede na podatke o nakupih, ki so jih predložili v svojih odgovorih na vprašalnike, sodelujoči uporabniki v času OP predstavljajo približno 5 % skupne porabe RVP Skupnosti in približno 13 % skupnega uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
Users and importers have indicated a number of arguments against the imposition of duties.
Uporabniki in uvozniki so predstavili številne argumente proti uvedbi dajatev.
First, the downstream industry has alleged that the Community PSF market substantially depends on external suppliers of the product concerned (the European producers can at maximum satisfy about 60 % of the PSF market demand).
Prvič, industrija za nadaljnjo obdelavo trdi, da je trg RVP Skupnosti v veliki meri odvisen od zunanjih dobaviteljev zadevnega izdelka (evropski proizvajalci lahko v največji meri zadostijo približno 60 % povpraševanja na trgu RVP).
In this context, in terms of capacity and market shares held in the Community, two of the countries under investigation, i.e. Taiwan and South Korea, are the most important suppliers of PSF worldwide.
V tej zvezi sta, glede na zmogljivost in tržni delež, ki ga imata v Skupnosti, dve državi v preiskavi, to sta Tajvan in Južna Koreja, najpomembnejša dobavitelja RVP v svetu.
Therefore, the level of the anti-dumping duties necessarily affects essential Community interest aspects.
Zato stopnja protidampinških ukrepov nujno vpliva na ključne vidike interesa Skupnosti.
PSF users have also claimed that they operate in a highly price sensitive market and that even a small increase in cost cannot be passed on to the final customer due to the already fierce competition in the end-product market (e.g. pillows, textiles, etc.), in particular from South East Asian countries and China.
Uporabniki RVP trdijo tudi, da poslujejo na cenovno zelo občutljivem trgu, kjer niti najmanjšega povišanja stroškov zaradi že zdaj tako ostre konkurence na trgu končnih izdelkov (na primer blazin, tekstilov itd.), zlasti iz držav v jugovzhodni Aziji in Kitajske, ni mogoče prenesti na končnega porabnika.
These countries already sell at very low prices and many European textile producers were forced to at least partly dislocate their production sites to third countries.
Te države že zdaj prodajajo po zelo nizkih cenah in mnogo evropskih proizvajalcev tekstila je bilo prisiljeno vsaj delno prenesti svojo proizvodnjo v tretje države.
In addition, a number of PSF users have claimed that certain types of the product concerned (the so-called hollow conjugate products) are not produced in the Community and will not be produced by the Community producers in the near future because of the lack of the necessary technical equipment.
Nadalje, številni uporabniki RVP trdijo, da se določeni tipi zadevnega izdelka (tako imenovani izdelki votlega konjugata) v Skupnosti ne proizvajajo in jih proizvajalci Skupnosti v bližnji prihodnosti zaradi pomanjkanja potrebne tehnične opreme niti ne bodo proizvajali.
These types of PSF have therefore to be imported (the so-called hollow conjugated products, mainly manufactured in South Korea).
Te tipe RVP bo zato treba uvažati (tako imenovani izdelki votlega konjugata, ki se v glavnem proizvajajo v Južni Koreji).
Finally, the downstream industry is, as opposed to the PSF industry, labour intensive.
Končno, industrija za nadaljnjo obdelavo je, v nasprotju z industrijo RVP, industrija z intenzivno delovno silo.
As put forward by some interested parties, the number of employees in the downstream industry is much higher than in the capital intensive PSF industry.
Kot so nakazale nekatere zainteresirane stranke, je število zaposlenih v industriji za nadaljnjo obdelavo mnogo višje od števila zaposlenih v industriji RVP, ki je zelo kapitalno intenzivna.
As an example, the European non-woven industry has a direct labour force of 16000 persons, compared with 1180 persons employed by the PSF industry.
Na primer, evropska industrija netkanih izdelkov ima neposredno delovno silo 16000 oseb, industrija RVP pa ima zaposlenih samo 1180 oseb.
As reported by the non-woven producers, PSF represents on average 40 % of the total cost of production of the product manufactured by them.
Kot poročajo proizvajalci netkanih izdelkov, predstavlja RVP v povprečju 40 % skupnih stroškov proizvodnje izdelka, ki ga izdelujejo.
It has been alleged that the imposition of duties could lead to a loss of jobs or to moving manufacturing facilities overseas.
Domneva se, da bi uvedba dajatev lahko pomenila izgubo delovnih mest ali premik proizvodnih obratov v druge države.
Regarding the Community market's alleged dependence on external suppliers, it is considered that, whereas duties against imports from the PRC and Saudi Arabia would be at an average level of 27 %, these countries only held 7 % of the market share during the IP.
V zvezi z domnevno odvisnostjo trga Skupnosti od zunanjih dobaviteljev se zaključuje, da medtem ko bi bile dajatve proti uvozom iz LRK in Saudove Arabije v povprečju na ravni 27 %, sta imeli ti dve državi v OP le 7 % tržni delež.
On the other hand, it is proposed to repeal the existing measures on imports from Taiwan and to reduce the duties currently applicable on imports from South Korea.
Po drugi strani pa se predlaga, da se obstoječi ukrepi proti uvozom iz Tajvana prekličejo in dajatve, ki trenutno veljajo za uvoz iz Južne Koreje, znižajo.
It is underlined that during the IP, with the current level of measures (see recital (3)), Taiwan and South Korea held 19 % of the market share.
Poudarja se, da sta imela v času OP, kljub nivoju trenutno veljavnih ukrepov (glej uvodno izjavo (3)), Tajvan in Južna Koreja 19 % tržni delež.
On the other hand, as reported by one prestigious fibre market consultancy firm, major producers of PSF located in countries not subject to anti-dumping duties (mainly the USA, Mexico, Turkey and South Africa) held during the IP an excess capacity amounting to approximately 50 % of the total Community consumption.
Po drugi strani pa so imeli, po podatkih prestižnega svetovalnega podjetja za trg vlaken, večji proizvajalci RVP iz držav, ki niso predmet protidampinških ukrepov (v glavnem ZDA, Mehika, Turčija in Južna Afrika), v času OP presežne zmogljivosti, ki je dosegel približno 50 % skupne porabe Skupnosti.
