Summary of the analysis of the likelihood of the continuation of dumping and of the recurrence of injurious dumping
Povzetek analize verjetnosti nadaljevanja dampinga in ponovitve škodljivega dampinga
It is recalled that exporting producers in the USA were still practicing dumping during the RIP, even if at a reduced level compared to the previous investigation.
Opozarja se, da so v OPP proizvajalci izvozniki v ZDA še vedno izvajali damping, čeprav v manjšem obsegu kot med prejšnjo preiskavo.
Removal of the measures could, if the export prices were reduced commensurately, lead to dumping margins between 13,4 % and 28,3 % for the cooperating exporting producers, whereas the behaviour of the non-cooperating producers, that represented 42 % of the imports in the original investigation, remains unknown.
Odprava ukrepov lahko, če se izvozne cene sorazmerno s tem znižajo, privede do stopenj dampinga med 13,4 % in 28,3 % za sodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike, medtem ko ravnanje nesodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki so predstavljali 42 % uvoza v prvotni preiskavi, ostaja neznano.
The latter, however, being subject to the highest anti-dumping measures, would have the highest incentive to return to the Community market, if measures were terminated.
Vseeno bi imeli slednji, za katere veljajo najstrožji protidampinški ukrepi, največjo spodbudo za vrnitev na trg Skupnosti, če se ukrepi odpravijo.
At the same time it is estimated that a spare capacity of 90000 tonnes exists currently in the US market, once the operational problems and the effect of the hurricane will have been remedied.
Hkrati se ocenjuje, da obstaja trenutno na ameriškem trgu 90000 ton proste zmogljivosti, ko se odpravijo operativne težave in posledice orkana.
It was therefore concluded that there is a likelihood of continuation of dumping and a risk of an increase of the volume of imports exerting a downward pressure on prices in the Community, at least in the short term, if measures were repealed.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da obstaja verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga in tveganje, da bi povečanje obsega uvoza, če se ukrepi razveljavijo, povzročilo pritisk, da se cene v Skupnosti znižajo, vsaj v kratkoročnem obdobju.
It is normally the case that an increase of dumped imports would exercise a downward pressure on the sales price level and would negatively affect the Community industry's profitability as well as its financial recovery that was observed during the period considered.
Običajno bi povečanje dampinškega uvoza povzročilo pritisk, da se ravni cen znižajo, in bi negativno vplivalo na dobičkonosnost industrije Skupnosti ter na njeno sanacijo, ki je bila ugotovljena med zadevnim obdobjem.
In this context, it should be noted that the level of undercutting would substantially increase should measures be repealed.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da bi se raven nelojalnega nižanja znatno povečala, če se ukrepi razveljavijo.
Expected shift of US production from MEG to ethanolamine
Pričakovana preusmeritev ameriške proizvodnje z MEG na etanolamin
It is expected that US producers will to a certain extent redirect the use of the main raw material ethylene oxide (EO) from the production of monoethyleneglycol (MEG) to the production of ethanolamine.
Pričakuje se, da bodo proizvajalci iz ZDA do določene mere preusmerili uporabo glavne surovine etilen oksida (EO) s proizvodnje monoetilenglikola (MEG) na proizvodnjo etanolamina.
The raw material EO is used in the production of other chemical products or derivatives, mostly ethylene glycols and in particular monoethyleneglycol (MEG).
Surovina EO se uporablja pri proizvodnji drugih kemičnih izdelkov ali derivatov, večinoma etilen glikolov in predvsem monoetilenglikola (MEG).
EO-capacity is limited to only a few locations in the world given its highly explosive and toxic nature, subject to special environmental, health, security and defence regulations.
Zmogljivost EO je omejena le na nekatere lokacije po svetu zaradi zelo eksplozivne in strupene narave ter zanjo veljajo posebni okoljski, zdravstveni, varnostni in obrambni predpisi.
As a consequence, the allocation of EO depends upon the market prices of its derivatives.
Zaradi tega je razporeditev EO odvisna od tržnih cen njegovih derivatov.
Historically, a certain hierarchy existed in price levels: the ethylene price was higher than MEG and the price for ethanolamine was higher than both ethylene and MEG prices.
V preteklosti je obstajala določena hierarhija glede ravni cen: cena etilena je bila višja od cene MEG, cena za etanolamin pa je bila višja od cen obeh, etilena in MEG.
However, since the end of 2003, MEG prices in the Community significantly increased and they became higher than ethylene prices and at certain periods of time even higher than ethanolamine prices.
Kljub temu so se od konca leta 2003 cene MEG v Skupnosti znatno povišale in so bile višje od cen etilena ter v določenih obdobjih tudi višje od cen etanolamina.
As a consequence, EO has been increasingly redirected towards MEG production, thereby creating a relative scarcity for EO in the market, at the same time contributing to keep ethanolamine prices at a relatively high level.
Posledično se je proizvodnja EO vedno bolj preusmerjala v proizvodnjo MEG, kar je povzročilo relativno pomanjkanje EO na trgu in hkrati prispevalo k ohranjanju cen etanolamina na relativno visoki ravni.
However, Middle East countries are currently investing in naphta-based ethylene glycol capacity.
Vendar pa države Bližnjega vzhoda zdaj preiskujejo zmogljivost etilen glikola, ki temelji na primarnem bencinu.
New production capacity of MEG is expected to become operational in the short term in Kuwait (with participation of Dow Chemical), Saudi Arabia and Iran.
Po pričakovanjih bo nov obrat za proizvodnjo MEG začel v kratkem delovati v Kuvajtu (s sodelovanjem družbe Dow Chemical), Saudski Arabiji in Iranu.
Given the fact that naphta is an oil-based material, these countries will have a clear comparative advantage in terms of cost.
Ker je primarni bencin snov, ki temelji na nafti, bodo imele te države nedvomno primerjalno prednost glede stroškov.
It is therefore reasonable to expect that the MEG price will go down in the short term and, that US producers will have reduced possibilities to sell MEG in particular in Asia, where the Chinese textile and polyester activities already take more than 30 % of worldwide MEG consumption.
Zato je razumno pričakovati, da se bodo v kratkem cene MEG znižale ter da bodo imeli proizvajalci iz ZDA manjše možnosti za prodajo MEG, zlasti v Aziji, kjer kitajska tekstilna industrija in industrija poliestra že predstavljata več kot 30 % svetovne potrošnje MEG.
This would be the case in particular for one of the non-cooperating exporting producers which is currently an important exporter of MEG to Asia.
To velja zlasti za enega od nesodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki je zdaj pomemben izvoznik MEG v Azijo.
As a consequence, it can be expected that the US producers would turn towards the production of more ethanolamine, thereby exerting a downward pressure on prices and creating a need to find additional clients outside of the US domestic market and thus resorting to the Community market.
Zaradi tega je mogoče pričakovati, da se bodo proizvajalci iz ZDA usmerili k večji proizvodnji etanolamina, s čimer bodo izvajali pritisk, da se cene znižajo, in ustvarili potrebo po iskanju novih dodatnih strank zunaj ameriškega domačega trga ter se tako zatekli na trg Skupnosti.
Evolution of prices and possibility to adapt prices to cost of production after the RIP
Razvoj cen in možnost prilagoditve cen stroškom proizvodnje po OPP
Bearing in mind the current stable situation of the Community industry, the likelihood of a recurrence of injury caused by a downward pressure on prices also depends upon the magnitude of such price decrease and the evolution of other factors, such as the cost of production and the possibility to pass cost increases on to clients.
Od upoštevanju sedanjega stabilnega položaja industrije Skupnosti je verjetnost ponovitve škode zaradi pritiska, da se cene znižajo, odvisna tudi od višine padca cen in razvoja drugih dejavnikov, kot so stroški proizvodnje in možnost, da se povišanje stroškov prenese na stranke.
In this respect, it was investigated what was the situation after the RIP.
V zvezi s tem se je preiskalo, kakšen je bil položaj po obdobju OPP.
Additional data was collected in order to verify whether the conclusions drawn on the basis of the analysis of the period considered and more in particular the RIP remained valid during the second half of 2005 and the first five months of 2006.
Zbrani so bili dodatni podatki, da se preveri, ali sklepi, sprejeti na podlagi analize obravnavanega obdobja in posebej OPP, veljajo tudi v drugi polovici leta 2005 in v prvih petih mesecih leta 2006.
During the second semester of 2005, prices on the Community market for all types of ethanolamines continued to rise by between 11,4 % and 14,7 %.
V drugem semestru leta 2005 so cene za vse vrste etanolaminov na trgu Skupnosti še naprej rasle za med 11,4 % in 14,7 %.
The average price increase on the US market was even more pronounced with 22 %.
Povprečno povišanje cen na ameriškem trgu za 22 % je bilo še bolj izrazito.
Hurricane damage in Louisiana was primarily responsible for occasional US domestic market shortages.
Škoda, ki jo je v Luisiani povzročil orkan, je bila glavni vzrok za občasna pomanjkanja na ameriškem domačem trgu.
This evolution continued into the first five months of 2006 but at a remarkably lower pace: prices on the Community market rose between 2,8 % and 4 % and on the US domestic market by 9,9 %, illustrating a gradual curing of the local operational and damage problems.
Ta razvoj se je nadaljeval v prvih petih mesecih leta 2006, vendar izrazito počasneje: cene na trgu Skupnosti so se dvignile med 2,8 % in 4 %, na ameriškem domačem trgu pa za 9,9 %, kar kaže postopno odpravljanje operativnih težav in težav zaradi škode.
Compared to the RIP, oil prices increased considerably during the second half of 2005 and were on average some 30 % higher, affecting further the cost of naphta, the increase of which began in the second half of the RIP (first semester of 2005).
V primerjavi z OPP so cene nafte v drugi polovici leta 2005 znatno narasle in so bile v povprečju za 30 % višje, kar je nadalje vplivalo na stroške primarnega bencina, ki so začeli naraščati v drugi polovici OPP (prvi semester 2005).
US import prices into the Community seem to adjust less rapidly to the increase of raw material prices, partly because of the slower adjustment of contract prices and in an effort to protect market share and partly because the US producers' production installations are gas based instead of naphta based, with gas price increases lagging on oil price increases.
Zdi se, da se ameriške uvozne cene pri uvozu v Skupnost počasneje prilagajajo povišanju cen surovin, deloma zaradi počasnejšega prilagajanja pogodbenih cen in prizadevanja za zaščito tržnega deleža ter deloma, ker proizvodni obrati proizvajalcev iz ZDA temeljijo na plinu, namesto na primarnem bencinu, pri čemer rast cen plina zaostaja za rastjo cen nafte.
The oil prices continued on average to increase by 10 % into the first five months 2006, negatively affecting the profitability of the Community industry because of the observed bending of the upward sales price evolution.
Cene nafte so se v prvih petih mesecih leta 2006 še naprej višale s povprečno rastjo za 10 %, kar je negativno vplivalo na dobičkonosnost industrije Skupnosti zaradi opaženega usmerjanja razvoja prodajnih cen navzgor.
The investigation of the events after the IP seems to point to a turning point in the evolution of the ethanolamine Community market.
Zdi se, da preiskava dogodkov po OP kaže na prelomno točko v razvoju trga etanolamina v Skupnosti.
Sales prices seem to have reached a ceiling and for certain ethanolamine types even showed a minor decrease.
Prodajne cene so kot kaže dosegle zgornjo mejo, za določene vrste etanolamina so v zadnjem času celo začele rahlo padati.
There are indications that an increase of the cost of production will not easily be translated into higher sales prices to clients.
Obstajajo pokazatelji, da višjih stroškov proizvodnje ne bo enostavno preoblikovati v višje prodajne cene za stranke.
However, it is unclear at this moment to what extent the increasing cost of production and the downward pressure on profitability will entail an injurious situation for the Community industry in the medium term.
Kljub temu je v tem trenutku nejasno, v kakšnem obsegu bo povišanje stroškov proizvodnje in pritisk, da se dobičkonosnost zniža, škodovalo industriji Skupnosti v srednjeročnem obdobju.
Conclusion on the likelihood of recurrence of injury
Sklepna ugotovitev o verjetnosti ponovitve škode
In case measures were repealed, there is a short term likelihood of a significant increase of dumped US imports to the Community with downward pressure on prices as a consequence.
V primeru odprave ukrepov obstaja kratkoročno verjetnost znatnega povečanja dampinškega uvoza iz ZDA v Skupnost, kar bo povzročilo pritisk, da se cene znižajo.
In the medium term, this could be aggravated by the increase of ethanolamine production in the US in reaction to reduced MEG sales opportunities, necessitating the US producers to find additional sales markets and thereby redirecting larger volumes to the Community market.
V srednjeročnem obdobju se lahko razmere poslabšajo s povečanjem proizvodnje etanolamina v ZDA kot odziva na zmanjšanje prodajnih možnosti za MEG, kar bo proizvajalce iz ZDA prisililo, da poiščejo dodatne prodajne trge in s tem preusmerijo večje količine izdelkov na trg Skupnosti.
The apparent end of the increase of sales prices in the beginning of 2006 and the adverse evolution of the cost of production due to the oil price evolution also seem to negatively affect the Community industry's profitability.
Očiten konec rasti prodajnih cen v začetku leta 2006 in neugoden razvoj stroškov proizvodnje zaradi razvoja cen nafte negativno vpliva tudi na dobičkonosnost industrije Skupnosti.
All these factors point to a likelihood of recurrence of injury.
Vsi ti dejavniki kažejo na verjetnost ponovitve škode.
However, some of the above conclusions are based on events likely to happen in the medium term.
Kljub temu temeljijo nekateri od zgornjih sklepov na dogodkih, ki so verjetni za srednjeročno obdobje.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether maintaining the anti-dumping measures currently in force would be against the interest of the Community as a whole.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe se je proučilo, ali bi bila ohranitev trenutno veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov v nasprotju z interesom Skupnosti kot celote.
The determination of Community interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Community industry, importers, traders, wholesalers and industrial users of the product concerned.
Določitev interesa Skupnosti je temeljila na presoji vseh različnih interesov vpletenih, tj. industrije Skupnosti, uvoznikov, trgovcev, veletrgovcev in industrijskih uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
It should be recalled that in the previous investigations, the imposition of measures was not considered to be against the Community interest.
Opozoriti je treba, da se v prejšnjih preiskavah uvedba ukrepov ni štela kot nasprotujoča interesom Skupnosti.
Furthermore, the present investigation is an expiry review, thus analysing a situation in which anti-dumping measures are in place.
Sedanja preiskava pa je pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa, zato se analizira položaj, v katerem veljajo protidampinški ukrepi.
On this basis it was examined whether, despite the conclusion on the likelihood of a continuation of dumping and likelihood of recurrence of injury, compelling reasons exist which would lead to the conclusion, in this particular case, that it is not in the Community interest to maintain measures.
Na podlagi tega se je proučilo, ali kljub sklepom o verjetnosti nadaljevanja dampinga in verjetnosti ponovitve škode, obstajajo nujni razlogi, ki bi privedli do sklepa, da ohranitev obstoječih ukrepov v tem posebnem primeru ni v interesu Skupnosti.
It is recalled that dumping during the RIP was still present and that there exists a likelihood of continuation of dumping of the product concerned originating in the USA and of recurrence of injury to the Community industry.
Opozarja se, da se je damping v OPP še vedno pojavljal in da obstaja verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz ZDA ter ponovitve škode za industrijo Skupnosti.
The Community industry has proven to be a viable and competitive industry, confirmed by the positive development of most economic indicators, in particular profitability, cash flow and return on investment.
Industrija Skupnosti je dokazala, da je industrija, ki je sposobna obstoja in je konkurenčna, kar potrjuje pozitiven razvoj večine gospodarskih kazalnikov, zlasti dobičkonosnosti, denarnega toka in donosnosti naložb.
The previously imposed anti-dumping measures have contributed to the current price level on the Community market, allowing the Community industry to restore a profitability that allows for a sufficient return on investment, to a degree where new capacity investments become economically feasible.
Prej uvedeni protidampinški ukrepi so prispevali k sedanji ravni cen na trgu Skupnosti, kar je industriji Skupnosti omogočilo obnovitev dobičkonosnosti, ki omogoča zadostno donosnost naložb do stopnje, ko naložbe v nove zmogljivosti postanejo ekonomsko izvedljive.
In particular the US exporting producer INEOS, which after the takeover of Innovene became de facto a Community producer, announced important investments in the Community.
Zlasti ameriški proizvajalec izvoznik INEOS, ki je po prevzemu družbe Innovene dejansko postal proizvajalec Skupnosti, je napovedal pomembne naložbe v Skupnosti.
The continuation of the measures would also contribute to uphold the profitability of this investment project.
Nadaljevanje ukrepov bi tudi prispevalo k ohranjanju dobičkonosnosti naložbenega projekta.
Therefore, it is in the interest of the Community industry to maintain measures against dumped imports from the USA.
Zato je v interesu industrije Skupnosti, da se ukrepe proti dampinškemu uvozu iz ZDA ohrani.
Interest of importers and traders/wholesalers
Interesi uvoznikov in trgovcev/trgovcev na debelo
Given the lack of cooperation of any trader and wholesaler, it was concluded that the absence or continuation of measures does not affect these parties to a great extent.
Glede na pomanjkanje sodelovanja katerega koli trgovca in trgovca na debelo, je bilo sklenjeno, da odsotnost ali nadaljevanje ukrepov ne vpliva v veliki meri na te stranke.
Moreover, the investigation did not show the existence of any unrelated importers; all imports into the Community of the product concerned originating in the USA appear to transfer over importers related to the US exporting producers.
Razen tega preiskava ni pokazala obstoja nepovezanih uvoznikov; celoten uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz ZDA v Skupnost je potekal prek uvoznikov, povezanih z ameriškimi proizvajalci izvozniki.
Continuation of the measures will not change the current situation of the related importers, who were found to have realised profits during the RIP at margins conform to market conditions.
Nadaljevanje ukrepov ne bo spremenilo sedanjega položaja povezanih uvoznikov, ki so v OPP ustvarili dobičke v stopnjah, ki so v skladu s tržnimi razmerami.
Of course, discontinuation of the measures could be in the interest of the related importers in case the sales price level to clients would not be affected and in case the US exporting producers would not claim part or all of the resulting extra profit margin while setting the prices at which related importers can purchase ethanolamine.
Seveda bi prenehanje veljavnosti ukrepov lahko bilo v interesu povezanih uvoznikov, če to ne bi vplivalo na raven prodajnih cen za stranke in če proizvajalci izvozniki iz ZDA ne bi zahtevali dela ali celotne nastale dodatne stopnje dobička in sami določili cen, po katerih lahko povezani uvozniki kupujejo etanolamin.
Interest of industrial users
Interes industrijskih uporabnikov
Based on the fact that the continuation of the measures would represent a second renewal of anti-dumping measures, particular attention was paid to the interest of the industrial users.
Ker bi nadaljevanje ukrepov pomenilo drugo podaljšanje veljavnosti protidampinških ukrepov, je bila posebna pozornost namenjena industrijskim uporabnikom.
Only users from the esterquat business for fabric softeners came forward in this investigation.
V tej preiskavi so se javili le uporabniki iz dejavnosti esterquata za mehčalce tkanin.
One industrial user, representing around 14 % of total US imports during the RIP, replied to the questionnaire, two others made their views known and forwarded information on the cost structure of production of the finished goods.
En industrijski uporabnik, ki je v OPP predstavlja približno 14 % celotnega ameriškega uvoza, je izpolnil vprašalnik, druga dva sta predložila svoji stališči in posredovala informacije o stroškovni strukturi proizvodnje končnih izdelkov.
Esterquats are produced on the basis of TEA and are used as fabric softeners, commercialised by the so-called ‘soapers’ such as Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Henkel, Benckiser and Colgate.
Esterquati se proizvajajo na podlagi TEA in se uporabljajo kot mehčalci tkanin, ki jih tržijo tako imenovani „proizvajalci pralnih sredstev“, kot so Procter & Gamble, Unilever, Henkel, Benckiser in Colgate.
These industrial users argue that the increase of the TEA price is putting their businesses in danger and that there exists a shortage of supply on the Community market.
Industrijski uporabniki trdijo, da povišanje cene TEA ogroža njihovo poslovanje ter da je dobava na trgu Skupnosti pomanjkljiva.
Both factors would be alleviated if the anti-dumping measures were allowed to lapse.
Oba dejavnika bi se ublažila, če bi se dovolila odprava protidampinških ukrepov.
Moreover, the continuation of production in the Community is allegedly in jeopardy if profitability of the esterquat business is not improved.
Poleg tega je nadaljevanje proizvodnje v Skupnosti domnevno ogroženo, če se dobičkonosnost dejavnosti esterquata ne izboljša.
It was found that during the RIP TEA represented around 23 % of the total cost of production of esterquats, up from 22 % in 2003 but overall comparable to the situation that existed in 2002, the first year of the period considered.
Ugotovljeno je, da je v OPP TEA predstavljal približno 23 % celotnih stroškov proizvodnje esterquatov, kar je več od 22 % leta 2003, vendar na splošno primerljivo s položajem leta 2002, prvim letom obravnavanega obdobja.
After the RIP, given the price evolution of TEA observed, the incidence of TEA in the full cost of the finished product is expected to be even more important.
Po OPP se glede na razvoj cen TEA pričakuje, da bo razvoj cen v zvezi s TEA močno vplival na celotne stroške končnega izdelka.
It is clear that an elimination of the anti-dumping measures would at least in the short term alleviate the burden of the cost of TEA as raw material.
Jasno je, da bi odprava protidampinških ukrepov vsaj kratkoročno ublažila breme stroškov TEA kot surovine.
This cost reduction, under the hypothesis that the abolition of measures would be fully translated into a lower purchase price, would reduce the cost of TEA by approximately 7 %.
To znižanje stroškov bi pod domnevo, da bi se odprava ukrepov v celoti preoblikovala v nižje nabavne cene, znižalo stroške TEA za približno 7 %.
The effect in the full cost of production of the finished goods would be a reduction of around 1 %, improving the profitability by the same margin.
Celotni stroški proizvodnje končnih izdelkov bi se znižali za približno 1 %, kar bi izboljšalo dobičkonosnost za približno enako stopnjo.
It was found that profitability in the esterquat business has indeed deteriorated over the period considered from around 18 % to 8 %.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da se je dobičkonosnost dejavnosti esterquatov v obravnavnem obdobju dejansko znižala s približno 18 % na 8 %.
