As described above in recital (3), the product scope was extended in 1999 to include gas fuelled, refillable pocket flint lighters incorporating a plastic tank body (‘flint lighters’ or ‘the product concerned’).
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 3, je bil obseg izdelka leta 1999 razširjen in je zajel žepne plinske vžigalnike na kresilni kamen, ki se lahko ponovno napolnijo, s plastičnim rezervoarjem („vžigalniki na kresilni kamen“ ali „zadevni izdelek“).
The product concerned is currently classified within CN codes ex96131000 and ex96132090 (TARIC codes 9613100011, 9613100019, 9613209021 and 9613209029).
Zadevni izdelek se trenutno uvršča pod oznaki KN ex96131000 in ex96132090 (oznake TARIC 9613100011, 9613100019, 9613209021 in 9613209029).
One of the non-complainant producers in the Community claimed that the products produced and sold in the analogue country Brazil were not alike with the products produced in and exported from China into the Community.
Eden od proizvajalcev v Skupnosti, ki ni bil med pritožniki, je trdil, da izdelki, izdelani in prodani v primerljivi državi Braziliji, niso enaki izdelkom, izdelanim na Kitajskem in izvoženim iz Kitajske v Skupnost.
It was in particular argued that the lighters produced in Brazil were of a higher quality and had a longer lifetime than the ones produced in China.
Zlasti je trdil, da so v Braziliji izdelani vžigalniki kakovostnejši in imajo daljšo življenjsko dobo kot vžigalniki, izdelani na Kitajskem.
Quality differences as such are, however, not decisive when determining whether products are alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Vendar pa same razlike v kakovosti pri določanju podobnih izdelkov v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe niso odločilne.
The investigation revealed that the lighters produced in China and the ones produced in Brazil had indeed the same basic technical, physical and chemical characteristics and end-uses.
Preiskava je pokazala, da imajo vžigalniki, izdelani na Kitajskem, in tisti, izdelani v Braziliji, dejansko enake tehnične, fizikalne in kemijske lastnosti ter enako uporabo.
Consequently, as shown in the previous investigations mentioned in recitals (1) to (4), and as confirmed by the current investigation, gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters manufactured by Chinese exporting producers and sold in the PRC and on the Community market and the product manufactured and sold by the applicant Community producer on the Community market are in all respects identical or share at least the same basic physical and technical characteristics and no differences in usage exist among them.
Zato so, kot so pokazale prejšnje preiskave, omenjene v uvodnih izjavah 1 do 4 in kot je bilo potrjeno s sedanjo preiskavo, žepni plinski vžigalniki na kresilni kamen, ki jih ni mogoče ponovno napolniti, in ki jih izdelujejo kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki ter se prodajajo v LRK in na trgu Skupnosti, v vseh pogledih enaki ali pa imajo vsaj enake fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter enako uporabo kot izdelek, ki ga izdeluje in na trgu Skupnosti prodaja vložnik proizvajalec Skupnosti.
The same is true for those produced and sold in Brazil.
Isto velja tudi za izdelke, ki se izdelujejo in prodajajo v Braziliji.
These products are therefore alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Ti izdelki so torej podobni v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
As in the previous review investigations, the Chinese exporting producers did not cooperate.
Tako kot v prejšnjih preiskavah v zvezi s pregledom, kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki tudi tokrat niso sodelovali.
Therefore no reliable information on imports of the product concerned to the Community during the RIP could be gathered directly from the exporting producers.
Zato neposredno od proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni bilo mogoče dobiti zanesljivih informacij o uvozu zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost med OPP.
Under these circumstances, and in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the Commission resorted to the use of the facts available, i.e. Eurostat, the request for the initiation of the review and the data published by the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) on 30 January 2007 (OLAF/07/01) regarding the circumvention of the anti-dumping duty in force.
V teh okoliščinah in v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe je Komisija uporabila razpoložljiva dejstva, tj. podatke Eurostata, zahtevek za začetek pregleda in podatke, ki jih je objavil Evropski urad za boj proti goljufijam („OLAF“) 30. januarja 2007 (OLAF 07/01) v zvezi z izogibanjem veljavni protidampinški dajatvi.
Dumping during the investigation period
Damping v obdobju preiskave
The existing measures provide for a single, country-wide duty on all imports to the Community of the product concerned originating in the PRC.
Obstoječi ukrepi določajo eno samo dajatev na ravni države za celoten uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK v Skupnost.
In accordance with Article 11(9) of the basic Regulation the Commission applied the same methodology as in the original investigation.
V skladu s členom 11(9) osnovne uredbe je Komisija uporabila isto metodologijo kot v prvotni preiskavi.
Accordingly, the normal value was determined on the basis of the information obtained in a market economy third country (the analogue country).
V skladu s tem je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi informacij, pridobljenih v tretji državi s tržnim gospodarstvom („primerljiva država“).
Thailand was the analogue country in the original investigation.
V prvotni preiskavi je bila primerljiva država Tajska.
However, in the subsequent reviews, the Philippines was used as the analogue country since the Thai producers refused to cooperate and since the Philippines was found to be an appropriate choice of analogue country, in view, inter alia, of the size and openness of its domestic market.
Glede na to, da so tajski proizvajalci izvozniki zavrnili sodelovanje, so bili v naslednjih pregledih kot primerljiva država uporabljeni Filipini, saj je bilo ugotovljeno, da so Filipini primerna izbira primerljive države med drugim glede na velikost in odprtost domačega trga.
In the notice of initiation of the present investigation the Commission indicated its intention to use Brazil as an appropriate analogue country for the purpose of establishing the normal value for the PRC.
V obvestilu o začetku sedanje preiskave je Komisija izrazila svoj namen, da kot ustrezno primerljivo državo za določitev normalne vrednosti za LRK uporabi Brazilijo.
Brazil was considered appropriate in view of the size and openness of its domestic market and the fact that one Brazilian producer had agreed to cooperate fully in the investigation.
Brazilija je veljala za ustrezno zaradi velikosti in odprtosti domačega trga ter dejstva, da je en brazilski proizvajalec izvoznik privolil v popolno sodelovanje v preiskavi.
Interested parties were invited to comment on this.
Zainteresirane stranke so bile pozvane k predložitvi pripomb v zvezi s tem.
An importers’ association opposed the choice of Brazil as analogue country, arguing that there was only one main producer in Brazil and that domestic prices were extremely high.
Združenje uvoznikov je izbiri Brazilije kot primerljive države nasprotovalo in trdilo, da je v Braziliji samo en glavni proizvajalec in da so domače cene izredno visoke.
One of the non-complainant Community producers claimed that the level of competition in Brazil was lower than the one on the Chinese domestic market and therefore the markets were not comparable.
Eden od proizvajalcev Skupnosti, ki ni bil med pritožniki, je trdil, da je raven konkurence v Braziliji nižja kot na kitajskem domačem trgu, zato trga nista primerljiva.
However, while the number of producers in Brazil was lower than the alleged number of producers in China, the investigation confirmed that there were two producers of the product concerned in Brazil as well as imports from the EU and the PRC.
Ker pa je bilo število proizvajalcev v Braziliji nižje od domnevnega števila proizvajalcev na Kitajskem, je preiskava potrdila, da poleg uvoza iz EU in LRK v Braziliji zadevni izdelek izdelujeta dva proizvajalca.
Regarding the lighters imported from the PRC, invoices obtained during the on-spot investigation in Brazil showed that these entered the country at very low prices, thus exerting a downward pressure on the prices charged on the Brazilian market.
Glede vžigalnikov, uvoženih iz LRK, je bilo iz računov, pridobljenih v preiskavi na kraju samem v Braziliji, razvidno, da so bili vneseni v državo po zelo nizkih cenah, kar je pritiskalo na znižanje cen na brazilskem trgu.
Moreover, none of the known producers contacted in other possible analogue countries, including the Philippines, agreed to cooperate.
Poleg tega ni privolil v sodelovanje nobeden od znanih proizvajalcev, s katerimi je bil vzpostavljen stik v drugih možnih primerljivih državah, vključno s Filipini.
A company in Malaysia replied to the questionnaire for producers in the analogue country but since it appeared that this company did not produce lighters itself, Malaysia could not be considered as an analogue country.
Družba v Maleziji je sicer poslala izpolnjen vprašalnik za proizvajalce v primerljivi državi, vendar pa ta družba sama ne proizvaja vžigalnikov, zato se Malezija ni mogla upoštevati kot primerljiva država.
In view of the foregoing it was concluded that Brazil was the most appropriate and reasonable analogue country in accordance with Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno je bilo sklenjeno, da je Brazilija najbolj primerna in smiselna primerljiva država v skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe.
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, normal value was established on the basis of verified information received from the producer in the analogue country.
V skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi preverjenih informacij proizvajalca v primerljivi državi.
The Commission first established that the total domestic sales of the Brazilian producer were made in sufficient quantities and could thus be considered representative within the meaning of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation.
Najprej je Komisija ugotovila, da je bil obseg skupne domače prodaje zadevnega izdelka pri brazilskem proizvajalcu zadosten, zato se je lahko štela za reprezentativno v smislu člena 2(2) osnovne uredbe.
It was subsequently examined whether each type of the product concerned sold in representative quantities on the analogue country’s domestic market could be considered as being sold in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je nato proučila, ali se za vsako vrsto zadevnega izdelka, ki je bila prodana v reprezentativnih količinah na domačem trgu primerljive države, lahko šteje, da je bila prodana v običajnem poteku trgovanja v skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe.
It was found that the sales volume on a per type basis, sold at a net sales price equal to or above the cost of production, represented 80 % or more of the total sales volume and the weighted average price of that type was equal to or above the cost of production.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je obseg prodaje zadevnega izdelka glede na vrsto, prodanega po neto prodajni ceni, ki je enaka ali višja kot proizvodni stroški, predstavljal 80 % ali več celotnega obsega prodaje, in da je bila tehtana povprečna cena te vrste enaka ali višja kot proizvodni stroški.
Therefore the actual domestic prices, calculated as a weighted average of the prices of all domestic sales made during the RIP, irrespective of whether these sales were profitable or not, could be used.
Zato so se lahko uporabile dejanske domače cene, izračunane kot tehtano povprečje cen celotne domače prodaje v OPP, ne glede na to, ali je bila ta prodaja dobičkonosna ali ne.
Normal value was thus determined, as set out in Article 2(1) of the basic Regulation, on the basis of prices paid or payable, in the ordinary course of trade, by independent customers on the domestic market of the analogue country.
Normalna vrednost je bila zato v skladu s členom 2(1) osnovne uredbe določena na podlagi cen, ki so jih neodvisne stranke plačale ali jih plačujejo v običajnem poteku trgovanja na domačem trgu primerljive države.
Since none of the Chinese producers cooperated, the export price of the product concerned was calculated on the basis of facts available in accordance with Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation, in this case Eurostat data.
Ker ni sodeloval noben kitajski proizvajalec, je bila izvozna cena zadevnega izdelka v skladu s členom 18(1) osnovne uredbe izračunana na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev, v tem primeru podatkov Eurostata.
In order to ensure a fair comparison of the normal value and the export price, due allowance, in the form of adjustments, was made for differences affecting prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Za zagotovitev poštene primerjave normalne vrednosti in izvozne cene so se v obliki prilagoditev ustrezno upoštevale razlike, ki vplivajo na cene in primerljivost cen v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe.
Appropriate adjustments concerning transport, insurance, and credit costs were granted in all cases where they were found to be reasonable, accurate and supported by verified evidence.
Ustrezne prilagoditve v zvezi s stroški prevoza, zavarovanja in posojil so bile odobrene v vseh primerih, ko je bilo ugotovljeno, da so smiselne, točne in podprte s preverjenimi dokazi.
One of the non-complainant Community producers argued that the lighters in Brazil were produced at higher costs due to higher quality standards, but did not submit any evidence to quantify and support this claim.
Eden od proizvajalcev Skupnosti, ki ni bil med pritožniki, je trdil, da so zaradi višjih standardov kakovosti v Braziliji višji tudi stroški izdelave vžigalnikov, vendar ni predložil nobenih dokazov za količinsko opredelitev in podporo tej trditvi.
Due to the non-cooperation of the Chinese exporting producers, the investigation did not reveal any indications which would have allowed adjusting the normal value based on alleged quality differences.
Zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov preiskava ni razkrila nobenih dokazov, na podlagi katerih bi se lahko normalna vrednost prilagodila za domnevne razlike v kakovosti.
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 on an ex-works basis.
V skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe se je tehtana povprečna normalna vrednost, določena za primerljivo državo, primerjala s tehtano povprečno izvozno ceno na podlagi cene franko tovarna.
This comparison showed the existence of significant dumping, the dumping margin amounting to more than 150 %.
Ta primerjava je pokazala obstoj znatnega dampinga, katerega stopnja znaša več kot 150 %.
Development of imports should measures be allowed to lapse
Razvoj uvoza v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov
It is recalled that measures have been in force since 1991.
Treba je spomniti, da ukrepi veljajo od leta 1991.
However, there is a long record of circumvention of the measures.
Vendar se že dolgo beleži izogibanje ukrepom.
In 1999 two kinds of circumvention practices were found: transhipment via Taiwan and the insertion of fake valves into the lighters to make them appear to be refillable and thus avoid the payment of the anti-dumping duty.
Leta 1999 sta bila ugotovljena dva načina izogibanja: pretovarjanje preko Tajvana in vstavljanje lažnih ventilov v vžigalnike, s katerimi bi ti dobili videz, da jih je mogoče ponovno napolniti, da bi se izognili plačilu protidampinške dajatve.
Consequently, as stated in recital (3), the measures were extended in 1999 to counteract these practices.
Da bi preprečili te prakse, so bili ukrepi leta 1999 razširjeni, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 3.
In 2001 an expiry review of the measures in force showed that they should be extended for a further five years given the likelihood of continuation and recurrence of dumping and injury.
Pregled zaradi izteka veljavnih ukrepov leta 2001 je pokazal, da bi jih bilo treba zaradi verjetnosti nadaljevanja in ponovitve dampinga in škode, podaljšati še za dodatnih pet let.
Current imports and recent findings regarding circumvention of the measures
Trenutni uvoz in nedavne ugotovitve v zvezi z izogibanjem ukrepom
Import volumes of the product concerned from the PRC and Taiwan in the RIP totalled 11,7 million pieces according to Eurostat.
Obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK in Tajvana je v OPP po podatkih Eurostata skupno znašal 11,7 milijona kosov.
In reality, however, the imports into the Community are much higher since, as proven recently by OLAF, there is massive circumvention of Chinese lighters via Malaysia and Indonesia.
V resnici pa je bil uvoz v Skupnost precej večji, saj je, kot je nedavno potrdil OLAF, prihajalo do množičnega izogibanja ukrepom za kitajske vžigalnike preko Malezije in Indonezije.
According to data published by OLAF in January 2007 over 300 million flint lighters of Chinese origin were transhipped via Malaysia alone during the last four years.
V skladu s podatki, ki jih je OLAF objavil januarja 2007, je bilo samo v zadnjih štirih letih več kot 300 milijonov vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen s poreklom iz Kitajske pretovorjenih preko Malezije.
The sole purpose of the transhipments was to disguise the true Chinese origin of the goods and thus avoid the payment of the anti-dumping duties.
Edini namen pretovarjanja je bil prikriti pravo kitajsko poreklo blaga in se s tem izogniti plačilu protidampinških dajatev.
The OLAF investigation also found that a large amount of lighters imported from Indonesia did not, in fact, originate in that country.
V preiskavi OLAF je bilo tudi ugotovljeno, da velika količina vžigalnikov, uvoženih iz Indonezije, dejansko ni imelo porekla v tej državi.
The investigation into their true origin is continuing.
Preiskava o njihovem pravem poreklu se nadaljuje.
The applicant is planning to lodge a circumvention case against six countries in the Far East.
Vložnik namerava vložiti tožbo zaradi izogibanja ukrepom proti 6 državam na Daljnem vzhodu.
In addition to the circumvention by transhipment, as evidenced by OLAF, the applicant, in its review request, provided evidence of misdeclaration of flint lighters (product concerned) as so called electronic (piezo) lighters (not product concerned) in order to avoid the payment of the anti-dumping duty.
Poleg izogibanja ukrepom s pretovarjanjem, kot je to dokazal OLAF, je vložnik v svojem zahtevku za pregled predložil tudi dokaze, da so bili vžigalniki na kresilni kamen (zadevni izdelek) napačno carinsko deklarirani kot tako imenovani elektronski vžigalniki (piezo) (ki niso zadevni izdelek) z namenom izogibanja plačilu protidampinške dajatve.
The importers’ association ELIAS and one importer claimed that the Commission is drawing definitive conclusions from OLAF’s ongoing investigation and stated that, it was not in the position to exercise validly their rights of defence and submit comments on the conclusions that the Commission has drawn from these confidential findings.
Združenje uvoznikov ELIAS in en uvoznik sta trdila, da Komisija oblikuje dokončne sklepe na podlagi preiskave OLAF, ki še poteka, in izjavila, da niso mogli uveljaviti pravice do obrambe in predložiti pripomb na sklepe, ki jih je Komisija oblikovala na podlagi teh zaupnih ugotovitev.
In this respect, it should be noted that the Commission used only published information to which all interested parties have access, which results were self-explanatory and could not be ignored in the context of this proceeding.
S tem v zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je Komisija uporabila samo objavljene informacije, do katerih imajo dostop vse zainteresirane stranke, katerih rezultati so razumljivi sami po sebi in jih v okviru tega postopka ni bilo mogoče zanemariti.
Evolution of production and capacity utilisation in the PRC
Gibanje proizvodnje in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti v LRK
In the absence of cooperation by the Chinese exporting producers in the present and past review investigations, no verifiable data is available on their capacity and capacity utilization.
Zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v sedanji in v prejšnjih preiskavah v zvezi s pregledom ni preverljivih podatkov o njihovi zmogljivosti in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti.
According to the applicant’s estimate the total production capacity in the PRC amounts to around 3,9 billion lighters per year, the majority of which are probably flint lighters.
Po vložnikovi oceni znaša skupna proizvodna zmogljivost v LRK približno 3,9 milijarde vžigalnikov na leto, večinoma gre verjetno za vžigalnike na kresilni kamen.
This estimate is in line with the data given by Chinese lighter manufacturers on their websites.
Ta ocena je skladna s podatki kitajskih proizvajalcev vžigalnikov, ki so na voljo na njihovih spletnih straneh.
For example, one single Chinese producer, Zhuoye Lighter Manufacturing Co Ltd, states on its homepage that the output of its three factories amounts to 700 million lighters per year.
Samo en kitajski proizvajalec Zhuoye Lighter Manufacturing Co Ltd na svoji spletni strani na primer navaja, da njegove tri tovarne skupno proizvedejo do 700 milijonov vžigalnikov na leto.
The producer in question does not, however, specify the breakdown between the product concerned and other types of lighters.
Vendar pa zadevni proizvajalec ne ločuje zadevnega izdelka od drugih vrst vžigalnikov.
According to the applicant, however, production can easily be switched between flint and electronic (piezo) lighters.
Po navedbah vložnika pa je možno hitro menjavanje med proizvodnjo vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen in proizvodnjo elektronskih vžigalnikov (piezo).
On the basis of the above it may be concluded that, in the light of the huge capacity available in the PRC and the apparent flexibility of the production process, which makes it easy to switch between different types of lighters, there is a strong likelihood of increased imports into the Community should measures be allowed to lapse.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se lahko sklene, da je glede na ogromno zmogljivost, ki je na voljo v LRK in očitno fleksibilnost proizvodnega procesa, ki omogoča enostavno menjavanje proizvodnje med različnimi vrstami vžigalnikov, velika verjetnost, da se bo v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov uvoz v Skupnost povečal.
The proven circumvention practices further demonstrate that the Chinese exporters have a strong interest in the Community market.
Dokazano izogibanje ukrepom še dodatno kaže na to, da imajo kitajski izvozniki velik interes na trgu Skupnosti.
Chinese exports to other third countries
Kitajski izvoz v druge tretje države
As none of the Chinese exporting producers cooperated, there is no verified information available regarding exports of flint lighters to other third countries.
Zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni na voljo preverjenih informacij o izvozu vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen v druge tretje države.
Moreover since third-country statistics available do not distinguish between flint and electronic (piezo) lighters it is not possible to make any comparison between export prices to the Community and export prices to other third countries.
Poleg tega razpoložljivi statistični podatki tretjih držav ne razlikujejo med vžigalniki na kresilni kamen in elektronskimi vžigalniki (piezo), zato primerjava med izvoznimi cenami v Skupnost in izvoznimi cenami v druge tretje države ni mogoča.
The Community industry has demonstrated that it is successfully competing with Chinese imports on the US market where the Chinese have lost market share.
Industrija Skupnosti je dokazala, da kitajskemu uvozu uspešno konkurira na trgu ZDA, kjer so Kitajci izgubili tržni delež.
This suggests that there would be a clear incentive for the Chinese producers to shift their exports to the Community market should the measures be allowed to lapse.
To pomeni, da bi bila razveljavitev ukrepov nedvomna spodbuda kitajskim proizvajalcem, da svoj izvoz preusmerijo na trg Skupnosti.
