As mentioned in recital 30 of the provisional Regulation, the sole cooperating Taiwanese company, Chang Chun Petrochemical Co. Ltd. (CCP) is the only exporting producer of the product concerned in Taiwan, and it accounted for 100 % of the Taiwanese exports to the EC during the investigation period as reported by Eurostat.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 30 začasne uredbe, je edino sodelujoče tajvansko podjetje, Chang Chun Petrochemical Co. Ltd. („CCP“), edini izvozni proizvajalec zadevnega izdelka in je po podatkih Eurostata v obdobju preiskave predstavljal 100 % tajvanskega izvoza v ES.
Both Community producers, Kuraray Europe GmbH and Celanese Chemicals Ibérica S.L. claimed that CCP was in fact dumping during the IP, and requested the Commission to reconsider its findings with regard to the dumping determination for CCP.
Oba proizvajalca Skupnosti, Kuraray Europe GmbH in Celanese Chemicals Ibérica S.L., sta trdila, da je bil v OP izvoz CCP dampinški, in od Komisije zahtevala, da ob upoštevanju določitve dampinga za CCP znova preuči svoje ugotovitve.
Raw material costs
Stroški za surovine
Both Community producers claimed that CCPs cost of production was much higher than what was found by the Commission, because the costs for vinyl acetate monomer (VAM), which is the main raw material used in the production of PVA, had been underestimated.
Oba proizvajalca Skupnosti sta trdila, da so proizvodni stroški CCP veliko višji, kot je ugotovila Komisija, ker je bila cena za vinil acetatni monomer („VAM“), ki je glavna surovina, ki se uporablja pri proizvodnji PVA, podcenjena.
They stressed in this respect that CCPs VAM supplier is a related company.
Glede tega sta poudarili, da je podjetje, ki CCP dobavlja VAM, povezano podjetje.
In support of its arguments, one Community producer submitted a study on CCPs PVA business carried out by a consultancy firm, as well as publications on international VAM prices.
V podporo svojim argumentom je proizvajalec Skupnosti predložil študijo o trgovanju CCP s PVA, ki jo je izvedlo svetovalno podjetje, prav tako pa tudi publikacije o mednarodnih cenah VAM.
The information submitted was examined.
Posredovane informacije so bili pregledane.
A comparison between the VAM prices listed in the abovementioned publications and the prices verified in the course of the proceeding both in Asia and in Europe clearly shows that the prices published in those publications are overstated.
Primerjava med cenami VAM, ki so navedene v zgoraj omenjenih publikacijah, in cenami, ki so bile preverjene med postopkom v Aziji in Evropi, jasno kažejo, da so cene, objavljene v omenjenih publikacijah, pretirane.
In addition, the publications themselves state that the published prices are estimates, that actual prices in the market may be either higher or lower and that the best use of the published prices is as indices.
V publikacijah je navedeno, da so objavljene cene približne, da so trenutne cene na trgu lahko višje ali nižje in da je objavljene cene najbolje uporabljati kot okvirne.
Indeed, even though such prices may be used to monitor trends over time, they do not appear to represent actual prices.
Čeprav se lahko te cene uporabljajo za nadzor trendov v določenem časovnem obdobju, pa ne predstavljajo dejanskih cen.
Moreover, the investigation has shown that the VAM sales made by the related supplier to CCP were made at prices in line with those charged to this supplier’s unrelated customers and that the prices paid for VAM by CCP were consistent with those paid by other producers in Asia, notably in Japan.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da je prodaja VAM povezanega dobavitelja CCP potekala pri cenah, skladnih s tistimi, ki so bile zaračunane strankam, nepovezanim z dobaviteljem, in da so bile cene, plačane za VAM s strani CCP, v skladu s tistimi, ki so jih plačali drugi proizvajalci v Aziji, zlasti na Japonskem.
In addition, the VAM costs contained in the study mentioned above were based on a higher VAM consumption rate than the actual CCP one.
Stroški za VAM iz zgoraj navedene študije so temeljili na višji stopnji potrošnje VAM, kot je dejanska potrošnja CCP.
Considering that VAM consumption rate depends on the mix of fully and partially hydrolysed PVA, CCPs actual VAM consumption rate was found to be consistent with that of other producers, as verified, both in Asia and in the Community, taking into account the respective product mixes.
Glede na to, da je stopnja potrošnje VAM odvisna od mešanice popolnoma ali deloma hidroliziranega PVA, je bilo ugotovljeno, da je dejanska stopnja potrošnje VAM s strani CCP v skladu z drugimi proizvajalci, kot je bilo preverjeno v Aziji in Skupnosti, ob upoštevanju zadevnih proizvodnih programov.
For the reasons detailed in recitals 20 to 23, it was therefore concluded that CCP’s VAM costs had not been underestimated and the claims concerning this issue were therefore rejected.
Zaradi razlogov, navedenih v zgornjih uvodnih izjavah 20 do 23, je bilo ugotovljeno, da stroški CCP za VAM niso bili podcenjeni in zato so bile trditve v zvezi s tem vprašanjem zavrnjene.
On the basis of the costs contained in the abovementioned study, one of the two Community producers claimed that in addition to the VAM, other cost elements of CCP’s cost of production of PVA, such as those related to utilities, other manufacturing overheads and SG&A, had been underestimated.
Na podlagi stroškov iz zgoraj omenjene študije je eden od dveh proizvajalcev Skupnosti trdil, da so bili poleg stroškov VAM podcenjeni tudi drugi stroški CCP za proizvodnjo PVA, kot so na primer stroški, povezani z javnimi storitvami, drugimi režijskimi stroški proizvodnje ter prodajnimi, splošnimi in upravnimi stroški.
However, no specific evidence was submitted to support the cost estimates made in the study.
Vendar pa ni bilo posredovano posebno dokazno gradivo, ki bi podprlo ocene stroškov, navedenih v študiji.
The actual data verified for CCP on the spot was re-examined and it was confirmed that the correct costs have been used in the dumping calculations.
Dejanski podatki, ki so bili preverjeni za CCP na kraju samem, so bili ponovno preučeni in potrjeno je bilo, da so bili pri izračunih glede dampinga uporabljeni pravilni stroški.
The claim was therefore rejected.
Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
Calculation of normal value
Izračun normalne vrednosti
One Community producer claimed that for CCP, the normal value should have been constructed for all product types, because there is a particular market situation on the Taiwanese PVA market due to artificially low prices particularly as compared to price ranges published for Asia, and also because most of the Taiwanese domestic sales were made to related customers during the IP.
Proizvajalec Skupnosti je trdil, da bi bilo treba za CCP konstruirati normalno vrednost za vse vrste izdelkov, saj na tajvanskem trgu PVA zaradi umetno nizkih cen vladajo posebne tržne razmere, še zlasti v primerjavi z razponom cen v Aziji, poleg tega pa je bila v OP večina prodaje na notranjem trgu Tajvana izvedena s povezanimi kupci.
There is in fact no evidence on the basis of which Taiwanese domestic sales prices could be considered as artificially low.
Ni dokaza, na podlagi katerega bi lahko trdili, da so tajvanske prodajne cene na notranjem trgu umetno nizke.
The published PVA prices are only price ranges of a very general nature given for Asia (excluding China) as a whole, without specifying the actual grades or product types in question, and therefore cannot be used in any price comparison for Taiwan.
Objavljene cene PVA se gibljejo v razponu, ki je značilen za Azijo kot celoto (z izjemo Kitajske), zato dejanska kakovost ali zadevne vrste izdelkov niso natančno določene in jih zato ni mogoče uporabiti pri kateri koli primerjavi cen za Tajvan.
On this basis, Taiwanese domestic sales prices cannot be considered as artificially low.
Na podlagi tega tajvanskih cen ni mogoče šteti za umetno nizke.
As concerns the alleged absence of sufficient domestic sales to independent customers, it is confirmed that sales to independent customers were found to be made in sufficient quantities to determine normal value.
Glede domnevnega pomanjkanja zadostne prodaje neodvisnim kupcem na domačem trgu je bilo potrjeno, da je bila prodaja neodvisnim kupcem izvedena v zadostnih količinah, da se lahko določi normalna vrednost.
The same Community producer also claimed that, because of an alleged particular market situation due to artificially low PVA prices on the Taiwanese market, the profit used in the constructed normal values for CCP should not be based on the chapeau of Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation.
Isti proizvajalec Skupnosti je tudi trdil, da zaradi domnevnih posebnih tržnih razmer, ki so nastale zaradi umetno nizkih cen PVA na tajvanskem trgu, dobiček, ki je bil uporabljen v konstruiranih normalnih vrednostih za CCP, ne sme temeljiti na uvodnem besedilu člena 2(6) osnovne uredbe.
For the reasons mentioned in recital 28, there is no reason why the profit based on the chapeau of Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation would not be appropriate for the constructed normal values.
Zaradi razlogov, navedenih v uvodni izjavi 28, ni razloga, da dobiček, ki temelji na uvodnem besedilu člena 2(6) osnovne uredbe, ne bi bil primeren za konstruirane normalne vrednosti.
The interested parties were informed of the above findings and given a period within which they could make comments.
Zainteresirane stranke so bile obveščene o zgoraj navedenih ugotovitvah in dan jim je bil rok za predložitev pripomb.
No additional information was received from the Community producers or any other interested party which would alter the Commissions provisional dumping determination for Taiwan.
Komisija ni s strani proizvajalcev Skupnosti ali od zainteresiranih strank prejela nobenih dodatnih informacij, ki bi spremenile začasno ugotovitev dampinga za Tajvan s strani Komisije.
In view of the above, it is confirmed that the dumping margin determined for Taiwan is less than 2 %, expressed as a percentage of the export price, as mentioned in recital 29 of the provisional Regulation.
Glede na zgoraj omenjeno je bilo potrjeno, da znaša stopnja dampinga, ki je določena za Tajvan, manj kot 2 % in je izražena kot odstotek izvozne cene, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 29 začasne uredbe.
Therefore, in accordance with Article 9(3) of the basic Regulation, the present proceeding should be terminated in respect of imports of the product concerned originating in Taiwan.
Zato je treba v skladu s členom 9(3) osnovne uredbe prekiniti sedanje postopke, ki so povezani z uvozom zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz Tajvana.

In the absence of comments in respect of the MET and IT determinations, recitals 31 to 39 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker ni pripomb glede opredelitev TGO in IO, se potrdijo uvodne izjave 31 do 39 začasne uredbe.
Both Community producers, Kuraray Europe GmbH and Celanese Chemicals Ibérica S.L. reiterated that Japan should be selected as analogue country for the PRC instead of Taiwan.
Oba proizvajalca Skupnosti, Kuraray Europe GmbH in Celanese Chemicals Ibérica S.L., sta znova poudarila, da bi bilo treba kot primerljivo državo za LRK namesto Tajvana izbrati Japonsko.
They claimed that Japan would be a more suitable analogue country than Taiwan because competition in the Japanese PVA market is far more vigorous than in the Taiwanese market as: (i) the Taiwanese market is dominated by the sole Taiwanese producer, CCP, whereas in Japan there are four producers; (ii) imports of PVA falling under the scope of the investigation into Taiwan are limited, and (iii) the domestic demand for the like product in Taiwan is low.
Trdila sta, da bi bila Japonska bolj primerna primerljiva država kot Tajvan, ker je konkurenca na japonskem trgu PVA večja kot na tajvanskem trgu, saj: (i) tajvanski trg obvladuje samo en proizvajalec CCP, medtem ko so na Japonskem štirje proizvajalci; (ii) uvoz PVA, ki je vključen v obseg preiskave o Tajvanu, je omejen in (iii) povpraševanje na notranjem trgu Tajvana po podobnem izdelku je nizko.
Regarding the alleged market dominance of CCP in Taiwan, it has to be recalled that the level of competition is also influenced by imports and in this respect, as already stated in recital 46 of the provisional Regulation, Taiwan has in fact a higher proportion of imports in terms of domestic consumption (15 %) than Japan (3 %).
Glede na domnevno prevlado CCP na tajvanskem trgu je treba opomniti, da na raven konkurence vpliva tudi uvoz, Tajvan pa ima, kot je že navedeno v uvodni izjavi 46 začasne uredbe, dejansko večji odstotek uvoza glede na potrošnjo na notranjem trgu (15 %) kot Japonska (3 %).
As for the claim that imports of PVA would mainly refer to products falling outside the product scope of the investigation, this allegation was not supported by sufficient evidence and thus could not be accepted.
Glede trditve, da se uvoz PVA v glavnem nanaša na izdelke, ki ne sodijo v obseg preiskave izdelka, ta domneva ni bila podprta z zadostnimi dokazi in zato je ni bilo mogoče sprejeti.
As concerns the allegedly limited demand for the like product in Taiwan, it has to be emphasised that the Taiwanese domestic market of PVA exceeds 15000 tonnes, most of which being the like product.
Glede domnevno omejenega povpraševanja po podobnem izdelku na Tajvanu je treba poudariti, da tajvanski notranji trg PVA presega 15000 ton, pri čemer gre večinoma za podobne izdelke.
In addition, although one Community producer claimed that there is actually limited demand because most of CCP’s sales are made to related customers, the contrary was confirmed by the investigation.
Čeprav je eden izmed proizvajalcev Skupnosti trdil, da obstaja omejeno povpraševanje, ker se večina CCP proda povezanim strankam, je preiskava pokazala ravno obratno.
For these reasons, the claim regarding limited demand for the like product was dismissed.
Zato je bila trditev o omejenem povpraševanju glede podobnega izdelka zavrnjena.
For the reasons set out in recitals 36 to 38, the claim regarding insufficient competition on the Taiwanese market was rejected.
Zaradi razlogov, navedenih v uvodnih izjavah od 36 do 38, je bila trditev o nezadostni konkurenci na tajvanskem trgu zavrnjena.
One Community producer claimed that both in terms of production and sales, the Japanese PVA market is far more representative of the PRC market than Taiwan.
Eden izmed proizvajalcev Skupnosti je trdil, da je japonski trg PVA glede proizvodnje prodaje veliko bolj reprezentativen za trg LRK kot tajvanski.
However, even if Taiwanese production and domestic sales are lower than production and domestic sales in Japan, they are still sufficiently substantial to make a comparison to Chinese PVA and its exports to the EC appropriate.
Čeprav sta tajvanska proizvodnja in prodaja na notranjem trgu nižji kot na Japonskem, pa sta še vedno dovolj veliki za primerjavo s kitajskim PVA in njegovim izvozom v ES.
The same Community producer also stated that Japan would be a more suitable analogue country than Taiwan as in Japan both integrated and non-integrated PVA producers exist, like in the PRC.
Isti proizvajalec Skupnosti je tudi navedel, da bi bila Japonska veliko bolj primerna primerljiva država kot Tajvan, ker na Japonskem, tako kot v LRK, obstajajo integrirani in neintegrirani proizvajalci PVA.
However, it is important to note that, whilst it is true that in the PRC both types of producers exist, the Taiwanese producer and the sole cooperating and verified Japanese producer have both integrated PVA production processes.
Treba je poudariti, da sta ob tem, da v LRK obstajata obe vrsti proizvajalcev, tajvanski proizvajalec ter edini sodelujoči in preverjeni japonski proizvajalec PVA integrirala proizvodne procese.
Therefore, this aspect cannot be relevant in preferring Japan to Taiwan.
Ta vidik torej ne more biti pomemben pri dajanju prednosti Japonski pred Tajvanom.
The same Community producer also claimed that the product mix and the applications of PVA on the Japanese market are more comparable to those in the PRC.
Isti proizvajalec Skupnosti je tudi trdil, da sta proizvodni program in uporaba PVA na japonskem trgu bolj primerljiva s tistimi na trgu LRK.
In this respect, it is confirmed that the product mix and the applications on the Taiwanese market are such as to guarantee a proper comparability between the Taiwanese and the Chinese PVA, whilst there is no evidence that Japanese PVA would have ensured a better comparability.
Glede tega je potrjeno, da sta proizvodni program in uporaba na tajvanskem trgu taka, da zagotavljata ustrezno primerljivost med tajvanskim in kitajskim PVA, medtem ko ni dokazov, da bi japonski PVA zagotovil boljšo primerljivost.
Finally, the level of cooperation in the selected country is an important element for establishing a reliable normal value.
Raven sodelovanja v izbrani državi je nenazadnje pomemben element za določanje zanesljive normalne vrednosti.
In Japan only one of the four producers of the like product cooperated in the investigation, whereas in Taiwan all the necessary data was available for the whole country, given that Taiwan was subject to the investigation.
Na Japonskem je pri preiskavi podobnega izdelka sodeloval samo eden od štirih proizvajalcev, medtem ko so bili na Tajvanu na voljo vsi potrebni podatki za celotno državo, saj je bil Tajvan predmet preiskave.
Indeed the Taiwanese company represented a much wider market share on its domestic market than the sole cooperating Japanese producer, thereby allowing better assessment of the normal value.
Dejansko je tajvanska družba predstavljala veliko večji tržni delež na notranjem trgu kot edini sodelujoči japonski proizvajalec in tako omogočala boljšo oceno normalne vrednosti.
In view of the reasons detailed in recitals 36 to 43, the claim of both Community producers that Japan is the most appropriate analogue country for the PRC was rejected and recitals 40 to 46 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ob upoštevanju razlogov, navedenih v uvodnih izjavah od 36 do 43, je bila trditev obeh proizvajalcev Skupnosti, da je Japonska najprimernejša primerljiva država LRK, zavrnjena in s tem so potrjene uvodne izjave 40 do 46 začasne uredbe.
One Community producer claimed that the normal value of the analogue country, Taiwan, should have been constructed for all product types, and the profit used in the constructed normal value should not have been based on the chapeau of Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation, because there is a particular market situation in Taiwan due to artificially low prices.
Eden izmed proizvajalcev Skupnosti je trdil, da je treba normalno vrednost primerljive države, Tajvana, konstruirati za vse vrste izdelkov, dobiček, ki se uporablja pri konstruirani normalni vrednosti, pa ne bi smel temeljiti na uvodnem besedilu člena 2(6) osnovne uredbe, saj na Tajvanu zaradi umetno nizkih cen vladajo posebne tržne razmere.
However, for the reasons detailed in recitals 28 to 30, these claims were rejected.
Vendar pa so bile zaradi razlogov, pojasnjenih v uvodnih izjavah od 28 do 30, te trditve zavrnjene.
In the light of this, recital 47 of the provisional Regulation is hereby confirmed.
Na podlagi tega je uvodna izjava 47 začasne uredbe potrjena.
In the absence of comments in respect of the export price, recitals 48 to 50 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker ni pripomb glede izvozne cene, se potrdijo uvodne izjave 48 do 50 začasne uredbe.
In the absence of comments in respect of the comparison, recital 51 of the provisional Regulation is hereby confirmed.
Ker ni pripomb glede primerjave, se potrdi uvodna izjava 51 začasne uredbe.
In the absence of comments in respect of the dumping margin, recitals 52 and 53 of the provisional Regulation, according to which the country-wide dumping margin for the PRC is 10 %, are hereby confirmed.
Ker ni pripomb glede stopnje dampinga, se potrdita uvodni izjavi 52 in 53 začasne uredbe, v skladu s katerima znaša stopnja dampinga za LRK 10 % za državo v celoti.

In the absence of any new and substantiated information or argument in this respect, recitals 54 to 60 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker v zvezi s tem ni bilo predloženih novih in bistvenih informacij ali utemeljitev, se uvodne izjave 54 do 60 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
In reviewing the statistical information available from Eurostat and cross-checking it with information available through other sources, it appeared that the imports from the USA as set out in the provisional Regulation were understated, notably as concerns 2003 (see recital 80).
Pri pregledovanju statističnih podatkov Eurostata in navzkrižnem preverjanju teh podatkov s podatki, ki so na voljo iz drugih virov, se je izkazalo, da je bil uvoz iz ZDA v začasni uredbi podcenjen, zlasti za leto 2003 (glej uvodno izjavo 80 v nadaljnjem besedilu).
It was therefore decided to replace these data by data from the USA export database.
Zato je bilo odločeno, da se ti podatki nadomestijo s podatki iz podatkovne baze izvoza ZDA.
After final disclosure it was further established that the figures concerning Chinese PVA imports reported by Eurostat were erroneous and needed to be corrected (see recital 56).
Po dokončnem razkritju je bilo dodatno ugotovljeno, da so podatki Eurostata o uvozu PVA iz Kitajske napačni in jih je treba popraviti (glej uvodno izjavo 56 v nadaljnjem besedilu).
The consumption figures were accordingly revised as follows:
V skladu s tem so bile vrednosti potrošnje spremenjene na naslednji način:
This shows that the demand for the product concerned during the period considered increased by 16 %.
To kaže, da se je povpraševanje po zadevnem izdelku v obravnavanem obdobju povečalo za 16 %.
The other conclusions, as summarised in recital 64 of the provisional Regulation, remain valid.
Ostale ugotovitve, kot so povzete v uvodni izjavi 64 začasne uredbe, ostanejo veljavne.
In the absence of any other new and substantiated information or argument in this respect, recital 61 to 64 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed, with the exception of the changes made to recital 61 and recital 64 as set out above.
Ker v zvezi s tem ni nobenih novih utemeljenih informacij ali argumentov, se potrdijo uvodne izjave 61 do 64 začasne uredbe, z izjemo sprememb v uvodnih izjavah 61 in 64, ki sta bili obravnavani zgoraj.
As it is confirmed that the dumping margin for Taiwan is de minimis, imports originating in Taiwan are definitely excluded from the injury assessment.
Potrjeno je, da je stopnja dampinga za Tajvan de minimis, uvoz iz Tajvana pa se dokončno izvzame iz ocene škode.
After final disclosure, certain interested parties expressed serious doubts as concerns the reliability of the Eurostat figures on PVA imports from the PRC in 2003.
Po dokončnem razkritju so nekatere zainteresirane stranke izrazile resen dvom glede zanesljivosti podatkov Eurostata o uvozu PVA iz LRK za leto 2003.
The matter was investigated and it was found that there had been a significant misreporting concerning those imports.
Zadeva je bila preiskana in bilo je ugotovljeno, da so bili podatki v zvezi z navedenim uvozom precej napačni.
Consequently, the volumes of PVA imports from the PRC were corrected as follows:
Zato je bil podatek o količini uvoza PVA iz LRK popravljen, kot sledi:
PRC tonnes
LRK – v tonah
Instead of a decrease of Chinese imports during the period considered, as established at the provisional stage based on the erroneous 2003 data, imports from the PRC increased by 33 % over the period considered, whereas they dropped by 9 % in 2004 as compared to 2003.
Namesto upada kitajskega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju, kot je bil na podlagi napačnih podatkov iz leta 2003 ugotovljen na začasni stopnji, se je uvoz iz LRK v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 33 %, leta 2004 pa je v primerjavi z letom 2003 upadel za 9 %.
