The importers rejected above conclusions claiming that the performance of the Community industry in the US market may not be due to its competitiveness but to a business decision to transfer profits from the Community to the USA.
Uvozniki so zavrnili zgoraj navedene sklepe in trdili, da razlog za uspešnost industrije Skupnosti na trgu ZDA ni nujno njena konkurenčnost, temveč poslovna odločitev, da dobiček prenesejo iz Skupnosti v ZDA.
The importers further claimed that on the basis of the higher profit margins in the USA the Chinese exporting producers would not have any incentive to shift exports to the Community market.
Nadalje so trdili, da višje stopnje dobička v ZDA pri kitajskih proizvajalcih izvoznikih nikakor ne bi pomenile spodbude za preusmeritev izvoza na trg Skupnosti.
The importers did not submit any evidence or any further reasoning neither with regard to the alleged profit transfers of the Community industry to the USA, nor the allegedly higher profit margins of the Chinese exporting producers in the US market.
Uvozniki niso predložili nobenega dokaza ali dodatne razlage niti glede domnevnih prenosov dobička industrije Skupnosti v ZDA niti glede domnevnih višjih stopenj dobička kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov na trgu ZDA.
These claims were also not confirmed by the verified information available in the investigation file.
Te trditve tudi niso bile potrjene s preverjenimi informacijami, ki so bile na razpolago v dokumentaciji preiskave.
They were therefore purely speculative and rejected.
Torej so bile zgolj domneve in zato zavrnjene.
It should be noted that the level of competition on the US market cannot be regarded as the unique reason to conclude that the Community industry should be achieving less profit.
Opozoriti je treba, da stopnja konkurence na trgu ZDA ne more biti edini razlog za sklepanje, da bi industrija Skupnosti morala dosegati manjši dobiček.
Other elements, such as customer expectations and price levels, should also be taken into account.
Upoštevati je treba tudi druge elemente, kot so pričakovanja uporabnikov in ravni cen.
Additionally, the importers claimed that the Community and US markets are similar in the sense that the same safety requirements have to be fulfilled on both markets; it was found that a more stringent requirements with regard to child resistant lighters have been in force in the US since 1994; while such norms were only introduced in the Community in March 2007.
Poleg tega so uvozniki trdili, da sta trga Skupnosti in ZDA podobna v smislu, da je treba na obeh izpolnjevati iste varnostne zahteve; ugotovljeno pa je bilo, da v ZDA od leta 1994 veljajo strožje zahteve glede vžigalnikov, ki so varni za otroke; medtem ko so bile take norme v Skupnosti uvedene šele marca 2007.
The investigation showed that, whilst the import volumes of the product concerned in the RIP were relatively low, the level of dumping found for these imports was significant.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je bil obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka v OPP sicer sorazmerno nizek, vendar pa je bila za ta uvoz ugotovljena znatna stopnja dampinga.
In view of the huge capacity available in the PRC and the apparent attractiveness of the Community market to the Chinese exporting producers, as proven by the extensive circumvention practices, it may be concluded that there is a strong likelihood that the volumes of dumped imports into the Community would reach substantial levels should the existing measures be allowed to lapse.
Glede na to, da je v LRK na voljo ogromna zmogljivost in da je trg Skupnosti za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike očitno privlačen, kar je bilo dokazano z obsežnim izogibanjem, se lahko sklene, da obstaja velika verjetnost, da bi z razveljavitvijo ukrepov obseg dampinškega uvoza dosegel znatno raven.
Within the Community, the like product is manufactured by three producers whose output constitutes the total Community production of the like product within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
V Skupnosti podoben izdelek izdelujejo 3 proizvajalci, katerih proizvodnja predstavlja celotno proizvodnjo podobnega izdelka Skupnosti v smislu člena 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
It should be noted that as compared to the original investigation contrary to Swedish Match and Flamagas, the complainant’s production is still mainly located in the EU (France and Spain).
Opozoriti je treba, da se v primerjavi s prvotno preiskavo pritožnikova proizvodnja še vedno nahaja v glavnem v EU (Francija in Španija) v nasprotju s švedsko Match in Flamages.
The applicant Community producer, BIC S.A. represents about 80 % of the Community production of non-refillable lighters and therefore constitutes the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Vložnik proizvajalec Skupnosti BIC S.A. predstavlja približno 80 % proizvodnje vžigalnikov v Skupnosti, ki jih ni mogoče ponovno napolniti, in zato predstavlja industrijo Skupnosti v smislu člena 4(1) in člena 5(4) osnovne uredbe.
The other Community producers were not considered to form part of the Community industry since they did not fully cooperate but only submitted certain information in relation to the impact of the measures on their activities.
Drugi proizvajalci Skupnosti niso bili upoštevani kot del industrije Skupnosti, ker niso sodelovali v celoti, ampak zgolj predložili nekatere informacije v zvezi z določitvijo vpliva ukrepov na njihovo dejavnost.
For the reasons explained in recital (16) above, the analysis with regard to the situation on the Community market was based on collected data relating to gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters and gas-fuelled, refillable pocket flint lighters (‘flint lighters’ or ‘the product concerned’).
Iz razlogov, pojasnjenih v uvodni izjavi 16, je analiza glede stanja na trgu Skupnosti temeljila na zbranih podatkih v zvezi z žepnimi plinskimi vžigalniki na kresilni kamen, ki jih ni mogoče napolniti, in žepnimi plinskimi vžigalniki na kresilni kamen, ki se lahko napolnijo („vžigalniki na kresilni kamen“ ali „zadevni izdelek“).
Further, as mentioned above, it was not possible to obtain data with regard to the activities of two Community producers which have manufacturing facilities in the Community market.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, pa poleg tega ni bilo mogoče dobiti podatkov v zvezi z dejavnostmi dveh proizvajalcev Skupnosti, ki imata proizvodne obrate na trgu Skupnosti.
Consequently, the Commission made use of facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, whenever more precise information was not available from other interested parties.
Zato je Komisija, kadar druge zainteresirane strani niso predložile natančnejših podatkov, uporabila razpoložljive podatke, v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe.
Given the fact that data regarding sales and production was available from only one interested party, the applicant, it is considered appropriate not to disclose absolute figures.
Glede na to, da je podatke v zvezi s prodajo in proizvodnjo dala na razpolago samo ena zainteresirana stranka, vložnik, se šteje, da razkritje absolutnih številk ni primerno.
They have therefore been replaced by the symbol ‘—’ and indexes were provided.
Zato so bile nadomeščene s simbolom „—“ in indeksi.
Apparent Community consumption of flint lighters was assessed on the basis of the volume of sales in the Community as provided by the Community industry, and imports from non-EU countries as reported by Eurostat.
Očitna potrošnja Skupnosti vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen je bila ocenjena na podlagi obsega prodaje v Skupnosti v skladu s podatki industrije Skupnosti in uvoza iz držav, ki niso članice EU, v skladu s podatki EUROSTATA.
These figures do not include the sales of the non-cooperating EC producers.
Ti podatki ne zajemajo prodaje nesodelujočih proizvajalcev ES.

Obseg, tržni delež in cene uvoza iz LRK in Tajvana
During the period considered, the import volume of flint lighters from China and Taiwan although remaining at low levels increased by 136 % between 2003 and the RIP and reached more than 11 million units during the IP.
Obseg uvoza vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen iz Kitajske in Tajvana je med obravnavanim obdobjem sicer ostal na nizkih ravneh, vendar se je med letom 2003 in OPP povečal za 136 % in v OP dosegel več kot 11 milijonov enot.
This translated in a market share of 1,6 %.
To pomeni, da ima 1,6-odstotni tržni delež.
Market shares increased from 0,9 % in 2003 to 1,6 % during the RIP.
Tržni delež se je med OPP povečal z 0,9 % na 1,6 %.

Imports from other countries went up from around 276 million pieces to around 487 million pieces.
Uvoz iz drugih držav se je povečal s približno 276 milijonov na približno 487 milijonov kosov.
It should be noted however that there are indication that a substantial part of these imports, in fact, originate in the PRC and Taiwan.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da obstajajo navedbe o tem, da ima znaten del tega uvoza v resnici poreklo iz LRK in Tajvana.

Price evolution and price behaviour of the imports of the product concerned
Razvoj in gibanje cen uvoza zadevnega izdelka
As mentioned above in recital (12), in the absence of cooperation from the Chinese exporting producers, no verified information was available with regard to price levels of imports of flint lighters.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 12, zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni bilo na voljo preverjenih informacij o ravneh cen uvoza vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen.
Evidence of circumvention via Indonesia and Malaysia was recently found by OLAF and there is some evidence of circumvention via several other Asian countries (Laos, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines).
OLAF je nedavno našel dokaz o izogibanju ukrepom preko Indonezije in Malezije, obstajajo pa tudi dokazi, da do izogibanja prihaja preko več drugih azijskih držav (Laos, Tajska, Vietnam in Filipini).
It seems that assembly factories enabling the circumvention of measures can be set up in East Asia within a few weeks.
Kot kaže, je tovarne, ki sestavljajo vžigalnike in omogočajo izogibanje ukrepom, v vzhodni Aziji mogoče ustanoviti v nekaj tednih.
The successful circumvention of measures may explain why none of the Chinese exporters cooperated in the present proceeding.
Uspešno izogibanje ukrepom lahko tudi pojasni, zakaj nobeden od kitajskih izvoznikov ni sodeloval v sedanjem postopku.
Thus, no definitive conclusion could be drawn with regard to the price evolution and price behaviour of the imports of the product concerned.
Tako glede razvoja in gibanja cen uvoza zadevnega izdelka ni mogoče sprejeti dokončnega sklepa.
Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined all relevant economic factors and indicators having a bearing on the state of the Community industry.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe preučila vse pomembne gospodarske dejavnike in kazalnike, ki zadevajo stanje industrije Skupnosti.
Production volume, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Obseg proizvodnje, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Total production of flint lighters by the Community industry increased steadily over the period considered, i.e. by 22 %.
Celotna proizvodnja vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen industrije Skupnosti je v obravnavanem obdobju postopoma naraščala, tj. za 22 %.
Table 4 — Production volume
Preglednica 4 – Obseg proizvodnje
Source: verified questionnaire reply
Vir: Preverjen izpolnjen vprašalnik.
As production increased at a higher rate than the increase in production capacity, capacity utilisation also increased over the period considered.
Proizvodnja se je povečala bolj kot proizvodna zmogljivost, zato se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečala tudi izkoriščenost zmogljivosti.
Overall, the capacity utilisation rate has followed similar trends as those of production, increasing between 2003 and the RIP by three percentage points.
Na splošno se je raven izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti gibala podobno kot raven proizvodnje, saj se je med 2003 in OPP povečala za 3 odstotne točke.

Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Stocks remained stable during the period considered.
V obravnavanem obdobju so zaloge ostale stabilne.
The peak observed in the RIP is due to an intentional stock piling in view of the cessation of production activities during the summer period and should normalise after that period.
Najvišja raven, zabeležena v OPP, je posledica namenskega kopičenja zalog zaradi ustavitve proizvodne dejavnosti v poletnem obdobju in naj bi se po tem obdobju normalizirala.
This factor was therefore not considered meaningful in the determination of the injury picture.
Zato ta dejavnik pri določanju škode ni bil pomemben.

Preglednica 6 – Obseg zalog
Sales volumes by the Community industry on the Community market decreased between 2003 and the RIP by 5 %, without, however, matching the expansion of the Community consumption, which substantially increased (by 37 %) during the same period.
Obseg prodaje industrije Skupnosti na trgu Skupnosti se je med letom 2003 in OPP zmanjšal za 5 %, vendar se ni ujemal s povečanjem potrošnje Skupnosti, ki je v istem obdobju znatno narasla (za 37 %).
This increase in consumption means that the overall decrease of the Community industry’s market share is of more than 14 percentage points (pp) over the period considered.
Ta dvig potrošnje pomeni, da celotno zmanjšanje tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju znaša več kot 14 odstotnih točk.
As far as average unit sales prices are concerned, they have slightly decreased between 2003 and the RIP with a decrease of 2 % between 2005 and the RIP.
Povprečne prodajne cene na enoto so se med letom 2003 in OPP rahlo znižale, pri čemer je znižanje med letom 2005 in OPP znašalo 2 %.

Over the period considered, employment increased by 5 %, i.e. at a lower pace than production in volume, which resulted in a significant increase of productivity (15 %).
V obravnavanem obdobju se je zaposlenost povečala za 5 %, tj. počasneje kot obseg proizvodnje, kar je vodilo v znaten dvig produktivnosti (15 %).
It should be noted that the increase in employment was the result of the hiring of new staff to be trained, in order to replace retiring staff.
Opomniti je treba, da je do povečanja zaposlenosti prišlo zaradi najemanja novega osebja, ki ga je bilo treba usposobiti, da bi se nadomestilo osebje v upokojevanju.
Indeed, over the period considered the Community industry’s labour costs (+ 7 %) only increased slightly.
Dejansko so se v obravnavanem obdobju stroški dela (+7 %) industrije Skupnosti le rahlo povečali.
As a consequence, the proportion of labour costs in the total cost of production remained stable.
Zato je delež stroškov dela v celotnih proizvodnih stroških ostal nespremenjen.

Investments increased significantly between 2003 and the RIP i.e. by 60 %, and then substantially increased in 2005, by around 65 %, which was due to the Community industry’s developing new production units.
Naložbe so se med letom 2003 in OPP znatno povečale, tj za 60 %, se nato bistveno povečale leta 2005, za približno 65 %, in sicer zato, ker je industrija Skupnosti razvijala nove proizvodne enote.
These investments related mainly to the reorganisation of the production from 2005 in order to restart production capacities.
Te naložbe so bile povezane v glavnem z reorganizacijo proizvodnje od leta 2005 z namenom ponovnega zagona proizvodnih zmogljivosti.
This increase, which was done with a limited increase in the workforce, has allowed the company to increase its productivity in terms of production per employee.
To povečanje, do katerega je prišlo z omejenim povečanjem delovne sile, je družbi omogočil dvig produktivnosti v smislu proizvodnje na zaposlenega.
Table 10 — Investments
Preglednica 10 – Naložbe
The Community industry was not found to be experiencing difficulties in raising capital during the period considered.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da industrija Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju ni imela težav z zbiranjem kapitala.
Cash flow decreased significantly over the period considered (– 50 %).
Denarni tok se je v obravnavanem obdobju znatno zmanjšal (– 50 %).
This negative trend indicates that the industry is under pressure.
Ta negativni trend kaže na to, da je industrija pod pritiskom.
This development is in line with the development of the overall profitability during the period considered.
Navedeni razvoj je skladen z razvojem celotne dobičkonosnosti v obravnavanem obdobju.
It should be noted that during the RIP, cash flow represented only 1 % of the total sales made in the Community which cannot be considered as excessive.
Opozoriti je treba, da je med OPP denarni tok predstavljal samo 1 % celotne prodaje v Skupnosti, kar se ne more šteti za čezmerno.

Between 2003 and the RIP, the Community consumption increased by 37 %, while the volume of sales of the Community industry on the Community market decreased by 7 %.
Med letom 2003 in OPP se je potrošnja Skupnosti povečala za 37 %, medtem ko se je obseg prodaje industrije Skupnosti na trgu Skupnosti zmanjšal za 7 %.
The Community industry lost around 14,7 percentage points of market share, whereas imports originating in the Far East increased theirs.
Industrija Skupnosti je izgubila približno 14,7 odstotne točke tržnega deleža, medtem ko so se tržni deleži uvoza s poreklom z Daljnega vzhoda povečali.
In recent years, although it is true that the market share between flint and electronic (piezo) lighters has been characterized by a slow shift from Flint to Electronic, the investigation has shown that market for flint lighters is growing.
Preiskava je pokazala, da trg vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen zadnja leta raste, čeprav je tudi res, da je tržni delež elektronskih vžigalnikov (piezo) v primerjavi z vžigalniki na kresilni kamen rahlo pridobil.
The investigation revealed that flint lighters still represents about 70 % of the Community market and continues to grow, given the overall increase of the Community consumption.
Preiskava je razkrila, da vžigalniki na kresilni kamen še vedno predstavljajo približno 70 % trga Skupnosti, in sicer z naraščajočim trendom glede na celotno povečanje potrošnje Skupnosti.
However, the Community industry was not able to benefit from the growth in the market, as revealed by its loss of market share.
Vendar pa industrija Skupnosti rasti trga ni mogla izkoristiti, kar dokazuje tudi izguba njenega tržnega deleža.
The analysis with regard to the magnitude of dumping must take into account the fact that there are measures in force in order to eliminate injurious dumping.
Pri analizi glede višine dampinga je treba upoštevati dejstvo, da so v veljavi ukrepi za odpravo škodljivega dampinga.
As determined above in recital (32), the information available indicates that the Chinese exporting producers continue to sell to the Community at dumped prices.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 32, razpoložljive informacije kažejo, da kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki v Skupnost še naprej prodajajo po dampinških cenah.
In accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value established for the analogue country was compared with the weighted average export price.
V skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe se je tehtana povprečna normalna vrednost, določena za primerljivo državo, primerjala s tehtano povprečno izvozno ceno.
In light of the above, i.e. the high dumping margin, the huge capacity available in China and the circumvention practices, as evidenced by OLAF and the complainant, it can be concluded that dumped imports from China would with all likelihood increase considerably should measures be allowed to lapse.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno, tj. visoko stopnjo dampinga, ogromno zmogljivost, ki je na voljo na Kitajskem, ter izogibanje ukrepom, kot sta to dokazala OLAF in pritožnik, se lahko sklene, da bi se v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov dampinški uvoz iz Kitajske po vsej verjetnosti znatno povečal.
The situation of the Community industry did not improve during the period considered, since the extension of measures in 2001 through the previous expiry review.
Od leta 2001, ko je bila na podlagi prejšnjega pregleda v zvezi z iztekom ukrepov veljavnost ukrepov podaljšana, se stanje industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju ni izboljšalo.
While noting that the Community industry was profitable throughout the period considered, profits fell continuously during that period.
Čeprav je bila industrija Skupnosti v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju dobičkonosna, pa je dobiček v tem času stalno padal.
Likewise, while the industry maintained a rather high level of market share, this was continuously declining during the period considered.
Prav tako je industrija Skupnosti ohranila dokaj visok tržni delež, vendar se je ta celotno obravnavano obdobje zniževal.
However, pressure from the Chinese imports remains (due to circumvention) and the indicators set out above also show that the Community industry is still fragile and vulnerable.
Pritisk kitajskega uvoza se nadaljuje (zaradi izogibanja ukrepom) in zgoraj navedeni kazalniki kažejo, da je industrija Skupnosti še vedno ranljiva in občutljiva.
The investigation showed that the export activity of the Community industry developed as follows:
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je izvozna dejavnost industrije Skupnosti razvijala, kakor sledi:

Quantities exported by the Community industry grew significantly from 2003 to the RIP.
Količine, ki jih je izvozila industrija Skupnosti, so se od leta 2003 do OPP znatno povečale.
This overall positive trend was concomitant to a slight increase in average prices, explained by a better competitive position in third country markets such as the US.
Temu splošno pozitivnemu gibanju se je pridružilo rahlo povišanje povprečnih cen, ki je pojasnjeno z boljšim konkurenčnim položajem na trgih tretjih držav, kot so ZDA.
Sales volume decreased by 5 % between 2003 and the RIP which translated in a loss of market share from 47,7 % in 2003 to 33 % in the RIP.
Obseg prodaje se je med letom 2003 in OPP znižal za 5 %, kar pomeni zmanjšanje tržnega deleža s 47,7 % v letu 2003 na 33 % v OPP.
