Grounds for the review
Razlogi za pregled
The basis for initiating this review was the information submitted by the Korean exporting producer Saehan Industries Inc., which indicated that low-melt polyester staple fibres (LMP), as defined in recital (20) below, should be excluded from the product scope, as they appeared to have different basic physical and chemical characteristics and end-uses in comparison to other types of PSF.
Osnova za začetek pregleda so bile informacije, ki jih je predložil korejski proizvajalec izvoznik Saehan Industries Inc., da bi bilo treba sintetična rezana vlakna iz poliestra z nizkim tališčem („PNT“), kakor so opredeljena v uvodni izjavi (20), izvzeti iz obsega izdelkov, saj imajo domnevno drugačne osnovne fizikalne in kemijske lastnosti ter uporabo v primerjavi z drugimi vrstami RVP.
In particular, unlike other PSF types, LMP appeared to have inherent binding properties.
Zanje je zlasti značilna inherentna vezljivost, po kateri se razlikujejo od drugih vrst RVP.
Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed to justify the initiation of a partial interim review, the Commission announced by a notice (the notice of initiation) published in the Official Journal of the European Union [9] the initiation of a partial interim review in accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, limited in scope to the examination of the product scope of the anti-dumping measures on imports of PSF originating in the PRC, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Republic of Korea and India.
Po posvetovanju s svetovalnim odborom je Komisija ugotovila, da obstaja dovolj dokazov, ki upravičujejo začetek delnega vmesnega pregleda, zato je z obvestilom („obvestilo o začetku“), objavljenim v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [9] napovedala začetek delnega vmesnega pregleda v skladu s členom 11(3) osnovne uredbe, omejenega na preiskavo obsega izdelka, za katerega veljajo protidampinški ukrepi za uvoz RVP s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, Saudove Arabije, Belorusije, Avstralije, Indonezije, Tajske, Republike Koreje in Indije.
It is noted that this review was initiated on the Commission's own initiative.
Pregled je Komisija začela na svojo lastno pobudo.
Review investigation
Preiskava v zvezi s pregledom
The Commission officially advised the authorities of the PRC, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Republic of Korea and India (countries concerned), and all other parties known to be concerned, i.e. producers/exporters in the countries concerned and their associations, users and importers in the Community and their associations and producers in the Community and their association, of the initiation of the review investigation.
Komisija je o začetku preiskave v zvezi s pregledom uradno obvestila organe Ljudske republike Kitajske, Saudove Arabije, Belorusije, Avstralije, Indonezije, Tajske, Republike Koreje in Indije („zadevne države“) ter vse druge stranke, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, tj. proizvajalce/izvoznike v zadevnih državah in njihova združenja, uporabnike in uvoznike v Skupnosti in njihova združenja ter proizvajalce v Skupnosti in njihovo združenje.
The Commission sent questionnaires to all parties known to be concerned, and all other parties which made themselves known within the deadlines set out in the notice of initiation.
Komisija je poslala vprašalnike vsem strankam, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, in vsem drugim strankam, ki so se javile v rokih, navedenih v obvestilu o začetku.
In view of the scope of the review, no investigation period was set for the purpose of this review.
Glede na obseg pregleda za ta namen ni bilo določeno obdobje preiskave.
The information received in the questionnaires covered the period from 1998 to 2005 (period considered).
Informacije, prejete v vprašalnikih, so zajemale obdobje od 1998 do 2005 („obravnavano obdobje“).
For the period considered, information concerning sales/purchases volume and value, production volume and capacity for all PSF types and LMP was requested.
Za obravnavano obdobje so bile zahtevane informacije o obsegu in vrednosti prodaje/nakupov, obsegu proizvodnje in proizvodni zmogljivosti za vse vrste RVP in PNT.
In addition, the parties concerned were asked to comment on any differences or similarities between LMP and other types of PSF with respect to their production process, technical characteristics, end-uses, interchangeability etc.
Poleg tega so bile zainteresirane stranke zaprošene za pripombe o kakršnih koli razlikah ali podobnostih med PNT in drugimi vrstami RVP, kar zadeva njihov proizvodni postopek, tehnične lastnosti, uporabo, možnost zamenjave itd.
Sufficiently complete questionnaire replies were received from one Thai, two Korean and one Saudi-Arabian exporting producer of PSF, four Community producers of PSF, five users and two importers of PSF in the Community.
Dovolj popolni odgovori na vprašalnik so prispeli od enega tajskega, dveh korejskih in enega saudskoarabskega proizvajalca izvoznika RVP, od štirih proizvajalcev RVP iz Skupnosti, petih uporabnikov in dveh uvoznikov RVP v Skupnosti.
Several other parties, including the association of users and the association of Community producers of PSF, submitted their comments.
Pripombe je predložilo več drugih strank, vključno z združenjem uporabnikov in združenjem proizvajalcev RVP v Skupnosti.
The Commission sought and verified all information deemed necessary for the purpose of the assessment as to whether there is a need for amendment of the scope of the existing measures.
Komisija je poiskala in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za oceno o tem, ali je treba spremeniti obseg obstoječih ukrepov.
It is noted that, since in October 2006, following parallel expiry reviews, the measures on imports of PSF originating in Australia, India, Indonesia and Thailand were repealed (see recital 5), the present review has become obsolete with respect to these countries, and its findings concern only the measures on PSF originating in the PRC, Saudi Arabia, Belarus and the Republic of Korea.
Opozoriti velja, da so bili po oktobru 2006, po vzporednih pregledih zaradi izteka ukrepov, ukrepi za uvoz RVP s poreklom iz Avstralije, Indije, Indonezije in Tajske razveljavljeni (glej uvodno izjavo (5)), zato ta pregled ni več veljaven za navedene države in njegove ugotovitve zadevajo samo ukrepe o RVP s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, Saudove Arabije, Belorusije in Republike Koreje.
The product concerned is, as uniformly defined in all original Regulations, synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning originating in the PRC, Saudi Arabia, Belarus, Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, the Republic of Korea and India (the product concerned) and is currently classifiable within CN code 55032000.
Zadevni izdelek zajemajo, kakor je enotno opredeljeno v vseh prvotnih uredbah, sintetična rezana vlakna iz poliestrov, nemikana, nečesana ali kako drugače predelana za predenje s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, Saudove Arabije, Belorusije, Avstralije, Indonezije, Tajske, Republike Koreje in Indije („zadevni izdelek“), trenutno uvrščena pod oznako KN 55032000.
RESULTS OF THE REVIEW INVESTIGATION
REZULTATI PREISKAVE V ZVEZI S PREGLEDOM
In order to assess whether LMP and other types of PSF should be considered as one single product or two different products, it was examined whether LMP and other types of PSF shared the same basic physical and technical characteristics and end-uses.
Da bi ocenili, ali je treba PNT in druge vrste RVP obravnavati kot en izdelek ali dva različna izdelka, je bilo preverjeno, ali imajo PNT in druge vrste RVP iste osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter uporabo.
In this regard, the production process, the interchangeability and the distinction between LMP and other types of PSF were also assessed.
V zvezi s tem so bili ocenjeni tudi proizvodni postopek, medsebojna zamenljivost ter razlika med PNT in drugimi vrstami RVP.
PSF is a basic material used in various stages of the manufacturing process of textile products.
RVP so osnovni material, ki se uporablja na različnih stopnjah proizvodnje tekstilnih izdelkov.
PSF is either used for spinning, i.e. manufacturing filaments for the production of textiles, after mixing or not with other fibres such as cotton and wool, or for non-woven applications such as filling, i.e. stuffing or padding of certain textile goods such as cushions, car seats and jackets.
RVP se uporabljajo za predenje, tj. pri izdelavi filamentov za proizvodnjo tekstilij, v mešanici z drugimi vlakni ali ne, npr. bombažem in volno, ali za netkane materiale, npr. polnila, tj. podloge ali oblazinjenje nekaterih tekstilnih izdelkov, npr. blazin, avtomobilskih sedežev in vetrovk.
PSF is sold in different product types for use in spinning or non-woven applications, which have a mono- or bi-component composition and different specifications such as denier/decitex, tenacity, lustre, quality grade, etc. These product types are not always interchangeable with each other (e.g. fibres for spinning and non-woven applications, mono- and bi-component fibres, fibres with specific thermal characteristics such as the flame retardant fibres, etc.).
RVP se prodajajo v različnih vrstah izdelka za uporabo pri predenju ali netkanih materialih, z eno- ali dvokomponentno sestavo in različnimi lastnostmi, kot so den/deciteks, trdnost, lesk, kakovost itd. Te vrste izdelka niso vedno medsebojno zamenljive (npr. vlakna za predenje in netkani materiali, eno- in dvokomponentna vlakna, vlakna s posebnimi temperaturnimi lastnostmi, kot so negorljiva vlakna itd.).
However, as the original investigations established, the physical and chemical characteristics and the end-uses of these types are basically the same.
Toda kot je bilo ugotovljeno s prvotnimi preiskavami, so fizikalne in kemijske lastnosti ter uporaba v bistvu enake.
Moreover, while not every product type may be interchangeable with every other type, there is at least a partial interchangeability and overlapping use between different product types, none of them being clearly separated from at least certain others.
Čeprav vsake vrste izdelka morda ni mogoče zamenjati z vsako drugo vrsto, so različne vrste vsaj deloma zamenljive in se prekrivajo, nobene od njih pa povrh tega ni mogoče jasno ločiti vsaj od nekaterih drugih.
It should be noted that LMP is not a new product.
Opozoriti je treba, da PNT ni nov izdelek.
However, LMP, as one of the PSF types, was not separately examined within the original investigations, since none of the parties concerned pointed out its allegedly different physical and technical characteristics.
Vendar pa ta kot ena od vrst RVP v okviru prvotnih preiskav ni bil pregledan ločeno, saj nobena od zadevnih strank ni opozorila na njegove domnevno drugačne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti.
This review confirmed that LMP, which was firstly produced in the 1980's and traded since then in countries like Japan, Taiwan and the Community, was already produced and traded in substantial quantities by at least three Community producers and in at least one of the countries concerned, i.e. the Republic of Korea, during the original investigations.
Ta pregled je potrdil, da so PNT, ki so ga izdelali v 80. letih in se odtlej prodaja v državah, kot sta Japonska in Tajvan ter v Skupnosti, med prvotnimi preiskavami že proizvajali in v precejšnjih količinah prodajali vsaj trije proizvajalci iz Skupnosti in najmanj v eni od zadevnih držav, tj. v Republiki Koreji.
In fact, imports of PSF including LMP from the Republic of Korea were found to be dumped and to have caused injury to the Community industry.
Ugotovljeno je namreč bilo, da je uvoz RVP vključno s PNT iz Republike Koreje dampinški in da je povzročil škodo industriji Skupnosti.
Physical and technical characteristics of LMP
Fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti PNT
LMP is one of the bi-component PSF types.
PNT je ena od dvokomponentnih vrst RVP.
It is a low melting polyester fibre with a core/sheath structure; it is composed of a polyester core and a sheath of copolymer polyester.
Je poliestrsko vlakno z nizkim tališčem, sestavljeno iz jedra in plašča; sestavljata ga poliestrsko jedro in plašč iz kopolimera poliestra.
When heated, the outer copolymer sheath melts at a lower temperature than the polyester core, and the melted sheath acts as glue.
Pri segrevanju se zunanji kopolimerni plašč stali pri nižji temperaturi od poliestrskega jedra, staljeni plašč pa deluje kakor lepilo.
There are several sub-types of LMP, having different composition resulting, for instance, in different melting temperatures.
Poznamo več podvrst PNT z različno sestavo, katere posledica so na primer različne temperature taljenja.
LMP is based on the same raw material and has the same look as other types of PSF.
PNT temelji na isti surovini in je enakega videza kot druge vrste RVP.
However, by definition, it contains two different polyester polymers.
Vendar pa po definiciji vsebuje dva različna polimera poliestra.
In this context, it should be noted that LMP is not the only bi-component PSF; numerous other bi-component PSF types exist, which have been always considered as constituting a single product for the purposes of anti-dumping proceedings.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da PNT ni edino dvokomponentno RVP; obstajajo številne druge dvokomponentne vrste RVP, ki so se za namen protidampinških postopkov vselej obravnavale kot en sam izdelek.
Some Community users and one exporting producer argued that LMP and other types of PSF, whether mono- or bi- component, are based on different raw materials.
Nekateri uporabniki iz Skupnosti in en proizvajalec izvoznik so zatrjevali, da PNT in druge vrste RVP, ne glede na to, ali so eno- ali dvokomponentne, temeljijo na različnih surovinah.
The association of Community producers and certain Community producers argued that the basic raw materials of all PSF types, including LMP, are the same.
Združenje proizvajalcev Skupnosti in nekateri proizvajalci iz Skupnosti so trdili, da so osnovne surovine vseh vrst RVP, tudi PNT, iste.
In this respect, it should be noted that all PSF types, including LMP, are based on terephthalic acid (TPA) and ethylene glycol (MEG).
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da vse vrste RVP, vključno s PNT, temeljijo na tereftalni kislini (TPA) in etilenglikolu (MEG).
These raw materials constitute the basic component, to which additives or additional components can be added in order to ensure certain specific properties of the fibre, such as low melting temperature in the case of LMP.
Ti surovini sta osnovna sestavina, ki se ji lahko dodajo aditivi ali dodatne sestavine, da se zagotovijo določene posebne lastnosti vlakna, kakor je nizka temperatura taljenja pri PNT.
The claim that LMP is based on different raw materials is therefore rejected.
Trditev, da PNT temelji na drugačnih surovinah, se zato zavrne.
One exporting producer also argued that the factor ‘look’ is not relevant in analysing physical and technical characteristics of different products or product types.
En proizvajalec izvoznik je zatrjeval tudi, da „videz“ ni pomemben pri analizi fizikalnih in tehničnih lastnosti različnih izdelkov ali vrst izdelkov.
In this respect, it is noted that the look by itself would normally not constitute sufficient basis for defining the product concerned, in particular when chemical products are concerned.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da videz sam po sebi navadno ne bi bil zadostna podlaga za opredelitev zadevnega izdelka, zlasti pri kemičnih izdelkih.
However, this does not imply that such factor should be completely disregarded.
To pa še ne pomeni, da bi bilo treba tak dejavnik popolnoma zanemariti.
In this particular case, the same look constitutes an additional element for finding that LMP and other types of PSF cannot be easily distinguished from each other.
V tem primeru je enak videz dodaten element za ugotovitev, da PNT in drugih vrst RVP ni mogoče zlahka razlikovati med seboj.
The claim is therefore rejected.
Trditev se zato zavrne.
In view of the above, it is concluded that LMP cannot be considered as having different basic physical and chemical characteristics than other PSF types, in particular those with bi-component composition.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega se sklene, da se ne more šteti, da ima PNT drugačne osnovne fizikalne in kemijske lastnosti kot druge vrste RVP, zlasti tiste z dvokomponentno sestavo.
Production process
Proizvodni postopek
It is recalled that the original investigations established that, from a production point of view, a general distinction can be made between virgin PSF, produced from virgin raw materials, and regenerated PSF, produced from recycled polyester.
Spomnimo naj, da je bilo s prvotnimi preiskavami ugotovljeno, da je z vidika izdelka na splošno mogoče razlikovati med primarnimi RVP, izdelanimi iz primarnih surovin, in regeneriranimi RVP, izdelanimi iz recikliranega poliestra.
Bi-component spinning systems are in operation in the Community and elsewhere for more than 20 years.
Dvokomponentni sistemi za predenje že več kot 20 let obratujejo v Skupnosti in drugod.
The bi-component fibres' production is more sophisticated than that of mono-component fibres; however, the difference between the two systems is not such as to be considered substantial.
Proizvodnja dvokomponentnih vlaken je bolj zapletena kot proizvodnja enokomponentnih vlaken; vendar pa razlike med sistemoma ni mogoče šteti za občutno.
Some Community users argued that it would not be cost-effective to switch to the production of LMP.
Nekateri uporabniki v Skupnosti so zatrjevali, da prehod na proizvodnjo PNT ne bi bil stroškovno učinkovit.
It was argued that although the production lines for LMP and other bi-component PSF types are basically the same, a switch to the production of LMP would require certain modifications, in particular the change of spinnerets, and would cause considerable downtimes.
Čeprav sta proizvodni liniji za PNT in druge dvokomponentne vrste RVP v osnovi enaki, pa bi bile za prehod na proizvodnjo PNT potrebne nekatere spremembe, zlasti zamenjava predilnih šob, kar bi povzročilo precejšen izpad proizvodnje.
Thus, although switching to the production of LMP or vice versa is technically feasible, it may not be efficient and this may affect the available capacity for LMP.
Čeprav je prehod na proizvodnjo PNT ali nasprotno tehnično izvedljiv, pa morda ni učinkovit, in to lahko vpliva na razpoložljive zmogljivosti za PNT.
The association of Community producers and one Community producer argued that the production process for all bi-component PSF is basically the same and switching to LMP production has no technical shortcomings, but that it purely depends on market forces such as demand and prices.
Združenje proizvajalcev Skupnosti in en proizvajalec iz Skupnosti sta trdila, da je proizvodni postopek za vsa dvokomponentna RVP v bistvu enak in da pri prehodu na proizvodnjo PNT ni tehničnih pomanjkljivosti, temveč je ta v celoti odvisen od tržnih sil, kot sta povpraševanje in cene.
Furthermore, they argued that there is sufficient overall capacity to satisfy demand for LMP in the Community if the market conditions would allow.
Poleg tega sta zatrjevala, da je splošna zmogljivost zadostna, da zadovolji povpraševanje po PNT v Skupnosti, če bi to dopuščale razmere na trgu.
In this respect, the following should be noted.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti na naslednje.
Firstly, the conclusion that no substantial difference exists between production of LMP and other PSF types was not challenged.
Prvič, sklep, da med proizvodnjo PNT in drugih vrst RVP ni večjih razlik, se ni bil spodbijal.
Secondly, the cost-effectiveness of switching to the production of LMP or vice versa may vary significantly from one producer to the other but it is in fact done by some Community producers.
Drugič, stroškovna učinkovitost prehoda na proizvodnjo PNT ali nasprotno se lahko med posameznimi proizvajalci močno razlikuje, vendar se zanj nekateri proizvajalci iz Skupnosti dejansko odločijo.
Finally, whether a producer would switch to the production of LMP depends largely on the sales prices it can obtain for the different PSF types in the market.
In zadnjič, ali bi proizvajalec prešel na proizvodnjo PNT, je precej odvisno od prodajnih cen, ki jih lahko doseže za različne vrste RVP na trgu.
In this respect, it is also noted that there are no exclusive producers of LMP in the Community or the exporting countries concerned.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti še, da izključnih proizvajalcev PNT v Skupnosti ali zadevnih državah izvoznicah ni.
Therefore, this argument cannot alter the conclusions in respect of the production process.
Zato ta utemeljitev ne more spremeniti ugotovitev v zvezi s proizvodnim postopkom.
The production process, which is as such not decisive for the definition of a product, can thus in any event not be considered as a factor differentiating LMP from other PSF types.
Proizvodnega postopka, ki kot tak ni odločilen za opredelitev izdelka, zato tako ali drugače ni mogoče šteti za dejavnik, po katerem se PNT razlikuje od drugih vrst RVP.
Typical end-uses of LMP
Značilna uporaba PNT
LMP is because of its low melting temperature typically used as a component in thermally bonded technical non-woven applications and in thermally bonded filling applications.
PNT se zaradi nizke temperature taljenja navadno uporablja kot komponenta v toplotno vezanih tehničnih netkanih materialih in v toplotno vezanih polnilih.
