Penta is a commodity and the lowest price quoted on the market determines to a large extent the market price, which other producers have to adapt to, if they wish to keep their orders.
Pentaeritritol je bazični izdelek in najnižja cena na trgu v veliki meri določa tržno ceno, kateri se morajo prilagoditi drugi proizvajalci, če želijo ohraniti naročila.
This is demonstrated by the decreasing trend in the Community industry’s sales prices over the period considered, while prices of the main raw material, methanol, soared.
To dokazuje trend nižanja prodajnih cen industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju, medtem ko so se cene surovine, metanola, zvišale.
The Community industry maintains that it was not in a position to pass on the increase in raw material prices to its customers due to the strong price pressure of the dumped imports.
Industrija Skupnosti vztraja pri trditvi, da zaradi močnega pritiska cen dampinškega uvoza ni mogla prenesti povišanja cen surovine na svoje potrošnike.
This led to a sharp decrease in profitability, return on investments and cash flow.
To je povzročilo znatno zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti, donosnosti naložb in denarnega toka.
Nevertheless, when looking at the development in more detail, it appears that the considerable deterioration of the Community industry’s financial situation occurred during the IP.
Pri natančnejšem opazovanju razvoja pa se zdi, da se je finančno stanje industrije Skupnosti znatno poslabšalo v OP.
In the years prior to the IP, imports from the PRC, Russia and Ukraine increased massively from 1235 tonnes in 2002 to 4752 tonnes in 2004, i.e. by 285 %, while prices from these countries decreased by 9 % over the same period.
V letih pred OP se je uvoz iz LRK, Rusije in Ukrajine znatno povečal, in sicer z 1235 ton leta 2002 na 4752 ton leta 2004, tj. za 285 %, cene iz teh držav pa so se v istem obdobju znižale za 9 %.
However, the effect of this surge in imports on the situation of the Community industry was not dramatic, i.e. while sales volumes decreased by 9 % and prices by 1 %, the profit level achieved in 2004 remained at a reasonable level (5,7 %).
Vendar pa to povečanje uvoza ni dramatično vplivalo na stanje industrije Skupnosti, obseg prodaje se je namreč zmanjšal za 9 %, cene znižale za 1 %, raven dobička, dosežena leta 2004, pa je ostala na razumni ravni (5,7 %).
In the IP, the decrease in sales by the Community industry of 7 % coincided with a further increase in imports from the countries concerned of 8 %, which was a relatively small increase compared to that achieved during the previous two years.
Zmanjšanje prodaje industrije Skupnosti za 7 % v OP je sovpadlo z nadaljnjim povečanjem uvoza iz zadevnih držav za 8 %, kar je bilo sorazmerno majhno povečanje v primerjavi s povečanjem iz prejšnjih dveh let.
However, it was only in the IP that the Community industry saw a huge decline in its profitability when it fell to – 11,5 % and a dramatic deterioration of its financial situation occurred.
Vendar se je dobičkonosnost industrije Skupnosti znatno zmanjšala le v OP, ko se je zmanjšala za 11,5 % in se je njeno finančno stanje dramatično poslabšalo.
Based on the above considerations, it appears that when looking at all of period considered, there is some correlation between the development of the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Glede na zgornje premisleke se zdi, da obstaja, upoštevajoč celotno obravnavano obdobje, povezava med razvojem dampinškega uvoza in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
However, the dumped imports alone do not seem to explain the sharp drop in the Community industry’s profitability during the IP.
Vendar le dampinški uvoz ni razlog za znatno zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti industrije Skupnosti v OP.
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the dumped imports would have played a determining role in the injurious situation of the Community industry, which culminated in the IP.
Zato ni mogoče sklepati, da je dampinški uvoz odločilni dejavnik za škodljivo stanje industrije Skupnosti v OP.
Decrease in EC consumption
Zmanjšanje potrošnje ES
Consumption of penta in the Community decreased by 12 % during the period considered.
Potrošnja pentaeritritola v Skupnosti se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 12 %.
This decreasing trend appears be linked to the reduced demand of alkyd resins in the paint industry, which accounts for about 70 % of the end-use of penta on the Community market.
Zdi se, da je ta trend upadanja povezan z zmanjšanjem povpraševanja po alkidni smoli, ki predstavlja približno 70 % končne uporabe pentaeritritola na trgu Skupnosti.
A visit to an industrial user of penta, which produces alkyd resins for the paint industry, revealed that the demand for alkyds is expected to decline even sharper in the future due to the forthcoming changes in environmental legislation, which will impose restrictions on emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) from paint used for both architectural and industrial applications.
Z obiskom industrijskega uporabnika pentaeritritola, ki proizvaja alkidno smolo za industrijo barv, je bilo ugotovljeno, da se zaradi pričakovanih sprememb okoljske zakonodaje, ki bo uvedla omejitve emisij hlapnih organskih spojin („HOS“) iz barv, ki se uporabljajo v gradbeništvu in industriji, v prihodnosti pričakuje še večje zmanjšanje povpraševanja po alkidih.
Since alkyd resins are not as VOC friendly as other technologies, their use in paints is expected to decline.
Ker so alkidne smole v tem pogledu okolju manj prijazne kot druge tehnologije, se pričakuje, da se bo njihova uporaba za barve še zmanjšala.
The Community industry’s sales declined by 16 % in terms of volume and three percentage points in terms of market share, from 78 % in 2002 to 75 % in the IP.
Prodaja industrije Skupnosti se je v smislu obsega zmanjšala za 16 % in za tri odstotne točke v smislu tržnega deleža, in sicer z 78 % leta 2002 na 75 % v OP.
Import volumes from the PRC, Russia and Ukraine increased by 316 % during the period considered leading to an increase in their market share from 1 % to 7 %, thus taking over the Community industry’s lost market share.
Uvoz iz LRK, Rusije in Ukrajine je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal svoj tržni delež z 1 % na 7 % in tako prevzel izgubljen tržni delež industrije Skupnosti.
Therefore, the declining demand of penta in the Community as such does not explain the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry over the period considered.
Zato zmanjšano povpraševanje po pentaeritritolu v Skupnosti ni edini razlog za poslabšanje stanja industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju.
However, the annual development of consumption shows that the decrease in consumption was much sharper between 2004 and the IP, when it went down by 9 %, compared to the previous years.
Vendar pa letni razvoj potrošnje kaže, da je bilo njeno znižanje med letom 2004 in OP, ko je dosegla 9-odstotno znižanje, veliko večje kot pretekla leta.
Indeed, consumption remained stable between 2003 and 2004 whereas it increased by 3 % between 2002 and 2003.
Dejansko je potrošnja med letoma 2003 in 2004 ostala nespremenjena, med letoma 2002 in 2003 pa se je povečala za 3 %.
Therefore, given that the decrease in consumption coincides with the period when the Community industry turned loss-making, it cannot be excluded that the decreasing demand of penta on the Community market has had an impact on the injurious situation of the Community industry.
Ker zmanjšanje potrošnje sovpada z obdobjem, ko je industrija Skupnosti začela ustvarjati izgube, ni mogoče izključiti, da je zmanjšanje povpraševanja po pentaeritritolu na trgu Skupnosti vplivalo na škodljivo stanje industrije Skupnosti.
Imports from other third countries (five largest) were as follows:
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav (petih največjih):
Volume (tonnes)
Obseg (v tonah)
Prices (EUR/tonne)
Cene (EUR/tono)
According to Eurostat and the information collected during the investigation, the main third countries from which penta is imported are Chile, India and Taiwan.
Glede na podatke Eurostata in informacije, zbrane med preiskavo, so glavne tretje države, iz katerih se uvaža pentaeritritol, Čile, Indija in Tajvan.
When adding imports from Turkey into imports from other third countries, the total volume imported from other third countries increased by 12 % from 8586 tonnes in 2002 to 9636 tonnes in the IP.
Če uvozu iz drugih tretjih držav prištejemo turški uvoz, ugotovimo, da se je celoten obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav povečal za 12 %, in sicer z 8586 ton leta 2002 na 9636 ton v OP.
This corresponds to an increase of their combined market share from 10 % to 13 %.
To ustreza povečanju njihovega skupnega tržnega deleža z 10 % na 13 %.
The price levels of third country imports remained well above those of the Community industry throughout the period considered.
Cene uvoza tretjih držav so ostale nad cenami industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju.
Thus, imports from other third countries, competing with the dumped imports, managed to increase their market share by three percentage points, at prices which were above those of the Community industry.
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, ki tekmuje z dampinškim uvozom, je torej povečal svoj tržni delež za tri odstotne točke, tj. na cene, ki so bile višje od cen industrije Skupnosti.
It should be noted, however, that imports from other third countries followed a different trend compared to that of the dumped imports in the sense that the peak in imports from other third countries occurred in 2004, whereas in the IP, which was the year of losses for the Community industry, third country imports dropped again by 22 % compared to the previous year.
Vendar pa je treba opozoriti, da se je uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav razvijal drugače kot dampinški uvoz, saj je uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav svoj višek dosegel leta 2004, v OP, tj. v letu izgub industrije Skupnosti, pa se je uvoz iz tretjih držav v primerjavi s prejšnjim letom ponovno zmanjšal, in sicer za 22 %.
Also their average prices decreased by 11 % during the same period and their market share dropped by two percentage points.
Tudi njegove povprečne cene so se v istem obdobju znižale za 11 %, njegov tržni delež pa se je zmanjšal za dve odstotni točki.
This would seem to indicate that as of 2004, also producers in other third countries were affected by the low market prices.
Na podlagi tega bi lahko sklepali, da so od leta 2004 nizke tržne cene prizadele tudi proizvajalce v drugih tretjih državah.
Nevertheless, their prices remained above those of the Community industry also during the IP.
Kljub temu so njihove cene ostale nad cenami industrije Skupnosti tudi v OP.
It was also examined whether exports by the Community industry to non-EC countries may have contributed to the injury suffered during the period considered.
Proučeno je bilo tudi, ali je izvoz industrije Skupnosti v države nečlanice ES prispeval k škodi, nastali med obravnavanim obdobjem.
Exports to unrelated customers in non-EC countries represented almost half of the Community industry’s sales of the like product during the period considered.
Izvoz nepovezanim strankam v države nečlanice ES je v obravnavanem obdobju predstavljal skoraj polovico prodaje podobnega izdelka industrije Skupnosti.
Export volumes increased by 3 %, between 2002 and the IP whereas average export prices decreased by 7 %.
Obseg izvoza se je med letom 2002 in OP povečal za 3 %, povprečne izvozne cene pa so se znižale za 7 %.
Sales volume in non-EC markets (tonnes)
Obseg prodaje na trgih držav nečlanic ES (v tonah)
Average sales prices in non-EC markets (EUR/tonne)
Povprečne prodajne cene na trgih nečlanic držav ES (EUR/tono)
Even if export sales increased slightly in terms of volume, the fact that the average export prices were lower than the average sales prices on the Community market throughout the period considered and moreover, below the unit cost of production has certainly had a negative effect on the overall financial situation of the Community industry, even if it does not directly affect the profitability on the Community market.
Čeprav se je izvoz količinsko nekoliko povečal, pa je dejstvo, da so bile povprečne izvozne cene v obravnavanem obdobju nižje od povprečnih prodajnih cen na trgu Skupnosti in stroškov proizvodnje na enoto, vsekakor negativno vplivalo na splošno finančno stanje industrije Skupnosti, čeprav ni neposredno vplivalo na dobičkonosnost trga Skupnosti.
Therefore it cannot be ruled out, that the injury suffered by the Community industry has also been indirectly caused by the negative development in profitability on export markets, since this would have an effect for example on the Community industry’s ability to make new investments or hire new staff.
Zato ni mogoče ovreči dejstva, da je škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, neposredno povzročil tudi negativni razvoj dobičkonosnosti na izvoznih trgih, saj bi lahko to vplivalo na sposobnost industrije Skupnosti za nove naložbe ali zaposlovanje novega osebja.
Sales volumes by the non-complainant Community producer who provided data for the whole period concerned decreased even sharper than that of the Community industry.
Obseg prodaje proizvajalca Skupnosti nepritožnika, ki je predložil podatke za celotno zadevno obdobje, se je zmanjšal veliko bolj kot prodaja industrije Skupnosti.
Therefore it seems that this producer is in a similar situation as the complaining Community producers.
Zato se zdi, da je ta proizvajalec v podobnem položaju kot proizvajalci Skupnosti pritožniki.
It is thus clear that this producer has not contributed to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Jasno je torej, da ta proizvajalec ni pripomogel k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Prices of the main raw material methanol have increased considerably over the period considered.
Cene glavne surovine, metanola, so se v obravnavanem obdobju znatno zvišale.
According to statistics published on the web-site of Methanex, the world’s largest producer and marketer of methanol, the European contract price increased from 125 EUR/tonne in January 2002 to 235 EUR/tonne in December 2005.
Glede na statistične podatke, objavljene na spletišču družbe Methanex, največjega proizvajalca in distributerja metanola na svetu, so se evropske pogodbene cene zvišale s 125 EUR/tono januarja 2002 na 235 EUR/tono decembra 2005.
This has contributed to the increase of 10 % in the unit cost of production during the period considered and consequently to the drop in profitability, given that unit sales prices decreased by 13 % during the same period.
To je prispevalo k 10-odstotnemu povišanju stroškov proizvodnje na enoto v obravnavanem obdobju in posledično k zmanjšanju dobičkonosnosti, saj so se prodajne cene na enoto v istem obdobju znižale za 13 %.
Soaring raw material prices as such cannot be considered as having had an injurious effect on the Community industry.
Za povišanje cen surovin kot tako se ne more šteti, da je škodljivo vplivalo na industrijo Skupnosti.
The negative development in profitability was rather due to the fact that the Community producers were not able to pass on these higher raw material costs to their customers by increasing their sales prices because of the low price level on the Community market.
Razlog za negativni razvoj dobičkonosnosti je bilo dejstvo, da proizvajalci Skupnosti teh višjih stroškov surovin niso mogli prenesti na svoje stranke tako, da bi povišali svoje prodajne cene, saj so bile cene na trgu Skupnosti na nizki ravni.
However, while methanol prices increased by 88 % over the period considered, the increase was only 2 % during the IP.
Čeprav so se cene metanola v obravnavanem obdobju povišale za 88 %, je bilo povišanje cen v OP 2-odstotno.
Therefore, even if the market price of penta was low in the IP, the simultaneous price development of the main raw material methanol does not explain why the Community industry turned loss-making with such a magnitude in the IP.
Čeprav je bila tržna cena za pentaeritritol v OP nizka, istočasni razvoj cene metanola ne pojasni, zakaj je industrija Skupnosti v OP začela ustvarjati tolikšne izgube.
The data available suggests that even with a low market share the dumped imports from the PRC, Russia, and Ukraine have exerted a price pressure on the Community industry’s prices.
Razpoložljivi podatki kažejo, da je dampinški uvoz iz LRK, Rusije in Ukrajine, čeprav z nizkim tržnim deležem, izvajal pritisk na cene industrije Skupnosti.
However, a more detailed analysis does not allow for the establishment of a material causal link between the deterioration of the Community industry’s financial situation and the development of the dumped imports.
Vendar podrobnejša analiza ne kaže, da bi obstajala znatna vzročna zveza med poslabšanjem finančnega stanja industrije Skupnosti in razvojem dampinškega uvoza.
The significant drop in the Community industry’s profitability and its overall financial situation occurred between 2004 and the IP, when volumes of the dumped imports increased by only 8 % compared to an increase of 285 % over the previous three years, when the Community industry was still making profits.
Znatno zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti industrije Skupnosti in njeno splošno slabo finančno stanje sta nastopila med letom 2004 in OP, ko se je obseg dampinškega uvoza povečal le za 8 % v primerjavi z 285-odstotnim povečanjem v prejšnjih treh letih, ko je industrija Skupnosti še vedno ustvarjala dobiček.
Moreover the drop in the demand of penta on the Community market coincided with the deterioration of the Community industry’s financial situation.
Poleg tega je zmanjšanje povpraševanja po pentaeritritolu na trgu Skupnosti sovpadlo s poslabšanjem finančnega stanja industrije Skupnosti.
It also appears that the price increase of the main raw material methanol was far less marked in the IP compared to the previous years and therefore does not explain the sudden and dramatic drop in profitability in the IP.
Zdi se tudi, da je bilo zvišanje cen surovine, metanola, veliko manj opazno v OP kot prejšnja leta in zato ta ne more biti razlog za nenadno in dramatično zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti v OP.
The fact that the Community industry exports almost half of its production at prices below cost, has to be seen as a factor which has further contributed to the overall negative situation of the Community industry, even if it does not directly affect the profitability on the Community market.
Dejstvo, da izvozi industrija Skupnosti skoraj polovico svoje proizvodnje po cenah, ki so nižje od stroškov, je treba upoštevati kot dejavnik, ki je prav tako pripomogel k splošnemu negativnemu stanju industrije Skupnosti, čeprav na dobičkonosnost trga Skupnosti ne vpliva neposredno.
Therefore, it cannot be concluded that the dumped imports taken in isolation have caused material injury.
Zato ni mogoče sklepati, da je dampinški uvoz sam povzročil znatno škodo.
Indeed, the examination of other factors in accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation revealed that the injury could be attributed also to the decrease in consumption, the export performance of the Community industry as well as imports from other third countries.
Proučitev drugih dejavnikov v skladu s členom 3(7) osnovne uredbe je dejansko pokazala, da je škodo mogoče pripisati tudi zmanjšanju potrošnje, izvozu industrije Skupnosti ter uvozu iz drugih tretjih držav.
Imports from the USA
Uvoz iz ZDA
Import volumes from the USA increased from 169 tonnes in 2002 to 1355 tonnes in the IP.
Obseg uvoza iz ZDA se je povečal s 169 ton leta 2002 na 1355 ton v OP.
This lead to an increase in market share from 0,2 % to 1,9 % during the same period.
To je povzročilo povečanje tržnega deleža z 0,2 % na 1,9 % v istem obdobju.
Average import prices from the USA decreased over the period considered but were above those charged by producers in the PRC, Russia and Ukraine:
Povprečne cene uvoza iz ZDA so se v obravnavanem obdobju znižale, vendar so bile nad cenami, ki so jih zaračunavali proizvajalci iz LRK, Rusije in Ukrajine:
Price undercutting was determined as described in recital 93 above.
Nelojalno nižanje cen je bilo določeno tako, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 93.
The weighted average undercutting margin for the USA was – 19,5 % in the IP, i.e. the average import price was significantly higher than the price charged by the Community industry on the Community market.
Tehtana povprečna stopnja nelojalnega nižanja cen za ZDA je bila v OP – 19,5-odstotna, kar pomeni, da je bila povprečna uvozna cena višja od cene, ki jo je industrija Skupnosti zaračunavala na trgu Skupnosti.
As explained below, there was also no price depression by US imports.
Kot je pojasnjeno v nadaljevanju, uvoz iz ZDA ni povzročil padca cen.
In parallel to the growth in imports from the USA, the Community industry saw, inter alia, its sales, market share and prices decrease over the period considered, leading to the conclusion as set out in recital 117 above that the Community industry had suffered material injury.
Hkrati z večanjem uvoza iz ZDA sta se v obravnavanem obdobju, med drugim, zmanjšala prodaja in tržni delež ter znižale cene industrije Skupnosti, na podlagi česar je mogoče sklepati, da je industrija Skupnosti utrpela znatno škodo, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 117.
However, it is noted that the prices of imports from the USA did not undercut those of the Community industry but were, in fact, sold at significantly higher prices than those of the Community industry.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da cene uvoza iz ZDA niso nelojalno nižale cen industrije Skupnosti, ampak se je prodajal po znatno višjih cenah.
Furthermore, an additional comparison was made of the import prices from the USA with the non-injurious price of the like product sold by the Community industry on the Community market.
Opravljena je bila še dodatna primerjava cen uvoza iz ZDA z neškodljivo ceno podobnega izdelka, ki ga je industrija Skupnosti prodajala na trgu Skupnosti.
The non-injurious price was obtained by adjusting the sales price of the Community industry in order to reflect a profit margin which the Community industry could be expected to obtain in the absence of injurious dumping.
Neškodljiva cena je bila pridobljena s prilagoditvijo prodajne cene industrije Skupnosti, da se odrazi stopnja dobička, ki bi jo lahko industrija Skupnosti pričakovala, če ne bi bilo dampinškega uvoza.
This comparison showed that the level of underselling was de minimis.
Ta primerjava je pokazala, da je bila prodaja pod ceno de minimis.
On this basis, it is concluded that these imports did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Na podlagi tega se sklene, da ta uvoz ni prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
In the absence of a significant causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Community industry, the present anti-dumping proceeding should be terminated in accordance with Articles 9(2) and 9(3) of the basic Regulation.
Ker ni znatne vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, je treba sedanji protidampinški postopek v skladu s členom 9(2) in 9(3) osnovne uredbe zaključiti.
The complainant and all other interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission intends to terminate this proceeding.
Pritožnik in vse druge zainteresirane stranke so bile obveščene o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih namerava Komisija zaključiti ta postopek.
Subsequently the complainants made known their views which, however, were not of a nature to change the above conclusions,
Pritožniki so naknadno predložili svoja stališča, vendar se zaradi njih zgornji sklepi ne spremenijo –
The anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of pentaerythritol, falling within CN code 29054200, originating in the People’s Republic of China, Russia, Turkey, Ukraine and the USA, is hereby terminated.
Protidampinški postopek glede uvoza pentaeritritola, ki se uvršča pod oznako KN 29054200, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, Rusije, Turčije, Ukrajine in Združenih držav Amerike, se zaključi.
