Moreover, in 2005 and the IP, when Community consumption fell by 18 % compared with its sharp rise in 2004, the imports from South Africa increased by 8 % in absolute terms and by around 31 % in market share.
Poleg tega se je leta 2005 in v obdobju preiskave, ko je potrošnja Skupnosti upadla za 18 % v primerjavi z velikim povečanjem leta 2004, uvoz iz Južne Afrike povečal za 8 % v absolutnem smislu in za okrog 31 % v smislu tržnega deleža.
At the same time, the Community industry lost 28 % of market share and 40 % of sales.
Sočasno je tržni delež industrije Skupnosti upadel za 28 %, prodaja pa za 40 %.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the pressure exerted by the dumped imports, which dramatically increased their volume and market share from 2002 onwards, and which were made at dumped prices and at significant levels of undercutting and underselling, played a determining role in the fall of the Community industry’s sales and consequently in its profitability, cash flow development and negative situation in return on investment, employment and increase in stocks.
Zato se začasno sklene, da je pritisk dampinškega uvoza, katerega obseg in tržni delež sta se od leta 2002 občutno povečala in ki se je izvajal po dampinških cenah in pri znatnem nelojalnem nižanju cen in prodajanju pod ceno, imel pomembno vlogo pri upadu prodaje industrije Skupnosti in posledično pri njeni dobičkonosnosti, razvoju denarnega toka ter negativnega stanja pri donosnosti naložb, zaposlovanju in povečanju zalog.
The development of imports from other third countries according to Eurostat data was as follows:
Razvoj uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav po podatkih Eurostata:
Average prices of imports
Povprečne cene uvoza
At the beginning of the period considered EMD imports from other third countries represented 15 % of market share.
Na začetku obravnavanega obdobja je uvoz EMD iz drugih tretjih držav predstavljal 15 % tržnega deleža.
In the following years these imports decreased significantly, representing only 8 % of market share by the end of the IP.
V nadaljnjih letih je ta uvoz znatno upadel in je ob koncu obdobja preiskave predstavljal le 8 % tržnega deleža.
The prices of those imports remained largely at a higher level than the South African prices and even increased by 1 %.
Cene tega uvoza so povečini ostale na višji ravni kot cene južnoafriškega izdelka in so se celo povišale za 1 %.
Several submissions have alleged that the imports of EMD from China, which is not a country concerned by the investigation, have contributed significantly to the injury suffered by the Community producer.
Glede na več stališč je uvoz EMD iz Kitajske, ki ni vključena v preiskavo, bistveno prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpel proizvajalec Skupnosti.
However, the imports from China in the IP, although at average prices lower than the South African product, represented only 0,6 % of all imports from third countries and can therefore not be considered to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Vendar je uvoz iz Kitajske v obdobju preiskave, čeprav po povprečno nižji ceni kot južnoafriški izdelek, predstavljal le 0,6 % celotnega uvoza iz tretjih držav, zato se ne more šteti, da je prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
It was also examined whether or not the exports to non-EU countries may have contributed to the injury suffered during the period considered.
Prav tako je bilo proučeno, ali je izvoz v države, ki niso članice EU, prispeval k škodi, nastali v obravnavanem obdobju.
It was found that the export volumes of the Community industry increased by 9 % over the period considered, and though the export price decreased by 14 %, it was well above the unit cost of production.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da se je obseg izvoza industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 9 % in čeprav se je cena izvoza zmanjšala za 14 %, je ostala znatno višja od stroškov proizvodnje na enoto.
Therefore, the export performance of the Community industry could not have contributed to the injury during this period.
Izvozna dejavnost industrije Skupnosti torej ni mogla prispevati k škodi, ki je nastala v tem obdobju.
As mentioned above, there were two other producers in the Community at the beginning of the period considered.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, sta bila na začetku obravnavanega obdobja v Skupnosti še dva druga proizvajalca.
One of the producers, located in Ireland, ceased production in 2003, because of financial difficulties due to important decrease in sales under strong price pressure from dumped imports.
En proizvajalec, s sedežem na Irskem, je opustil proizvodnjo leta 2003 zaradi finančnih težav, ki so bile posledica znatnega upada prodaje pod močnim pritiskom cen dampinškega uvoza.
The other one, located in Spain, did not cooperate in the proceeding.
Drugi proizvajalec, s sedežem v Španiji, ni sodeloval v postopku.
As a result of this lack of cooperation, data on the sales by other producers on the Community market was obtained from user questionnaires.
Kot rezultat tega nesodelovanja so bili podatki o prodaji drugega proizvajalca na trgu Skupnosti dobljeni iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov uporabnikov.
According to the findings of the investigation, the latter company was involved both in battery and EMD production.
Po ugotovitvah preiskave se je slednja družba ukvarjala s proizvodnjo baterij in EMD.
The majority of the EMD produced by this company was apparently used in its own battery production.
Večina EMD, ki jih je proizvedla ta družba, se je očitno uporabljala v njeni lastni proizvodnji baterij.
However, this company played an increasing role on the Community EMD market as well.
Ta družba pa je prav tako imela pomembno vlogo na trgu EMD Skupnosti.
It is clear that the general picture of other EC producers is influenced by the fact that one ceased its activities in 2003 and the other did not sell any substantial quantities on the EC market during the period considered.
Jasno je, da na splošno podobo drugih proizvajalcev ES vpliva dejstvo, da je en proizvajalec opustil proizvodnjo leta 2003, drugi pa v obravnavanem obdobju ni prodal znatnih količin na trgu ES.
However, from the data obtained in the investigation it may be concluded that these Community producers were also affected by the pressure exerted on prices by South African imports and the developments on the market, since their market share decreased from a range of 10 to 25 % to a range of 4 to 10 %.
Vendar se iz podatkov, pridobljenih med preiskavo, lahko sklepa, da je na proizvajalca Skupnosti prav tako vplival pritisk južnoafriškega uvoza na cene ter razvoj na trgu, saj se je njun tržni delež zmanjšal z razpona 10–25 % na razpon 4–10 %.
Consequently, the sales of other Community producers cannot have been responsible for the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Zato prodaja drugega proizvajalca Skupnosti ni mogla biti odgovorna za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Contraction in demand
Upad povpraševanja
It was also examined whether or not the contraction in demand on the Community market may have contributed to the injury suffered during the period considered.
Proučeno je bilo tudi, ali je upad povpraševanja na trgu Skupnosti prispeval k škodi, nastali v obravnavanem obdobju.
This was not found to be the case.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da upad povpraševanja ni vplival na škodo.
As established in recitals 52 and 77, the Community industry’s sales decreased by more than the total Community consumption while the corresponding market share held by the South African imports increased significantly.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 52 in 77, je prodaja industrije Skupnosti upadla za več kot skupna potrošnja Skupnosti, medtem ko se je ustrezni tržni delež južnoafriškega uvoza znatno povečal.
It was argued that injury had been caused mainly by the worldwide increase in the price of the basic raw material: manganese ore.
Po nekaterih trditvah je škodo povzročilo predvsem svetovno povišanje cene osnovne surovine, manganove rude.
Manganese ore prices which remained stable until 2004 suddenly doubled in 2005 and decreased slightly during the IP.
Cene manganove rude, ki so do leta 2004 ostale stabilne, so se leta 2005 nenadoma podvojile in v obdobju preiskave nekoliko znižale.
This increased the Community industry’s unit cost of production by 19 %.
To je povečalo stroške proizvodnje na enoto industrije Skupnosti za 19 %.
However, as the prices of imports from South Africa only increased by one percentage point during the same period (2004/05), the Community industry, which attempted to compete with dumped imports and stay in the market, could not pass on the total cost increase to downstream users.
Ker pa so se cene uvoza iz Južne Afrike v enakem obdobju (2004/2005) povišale le za 1 odstotno točko, industrija Skupnosti, ki je skušala konkurirati z dampinškim uvozom in ostati na trgu, ni mogla prenesti povišanja skupnih stroškov na uporabnike na nižji stopnji.
The Community industry was only able to increase its prices by four percentage points, which thus remained below the cost of production.
Industrija Skupnosti je lahko zvišala cene samo za 4 odstotne točke, ki so tako ostale nižje od stroškov proizvodnje.
Total cost of production, 2002 = 100
Skupni stroški proizvodnje, 2002 = 100
Total unit cost per tonne, 2002 = 100
Skupni stroški na enoto na tono, 2002 = 100
Unit sales price, 2002 = 100
Prodajna cena na enoto, 2002 = 100
In these circumstances, it was considered that the cost increase was not per se the factor causing injury but the fact that the Community industry was not able to pass on the cost increases to its customers due to the downward price pressure exerted by the dumped imports from South Africa, which did not reflect the rise in prices of raw materials.
V teh okoliščinah se je štelo, da povečanje stroškov ni samo po sebi povzročilo škode, temveč dejstvo, da industrija Skupnosti ni mogla prenesti povečanja stroškov na svoje stranke zaradi močnega pritiska dampinškega uvoza iz Južne Afrike, ki ni odražal povišanja cen surovine.
Therefore, this claim had to be rejected.
Zato je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
Global oversupply of EMD
Globalna prekomerna ponudba EMD
It was argued by some parties that the global oversupply of EMD caused by the increased production capacity in China has depressed EMD prices and is thus the cause of the injury to the Community industry.
Nekatere strani so trdile, da so se zaradi globalne prekomerne ponudbe EMD, ki jo je povzročila povečana proizvodna zmogljivost na Kitajskem, znižale cene EMD in da je to razlog za škodo industrije Skupnosti.
However, given the low volume of imports from China and despite their relatively low prices in the period considered, this allegation was found not to be valid.
Vendar je glede na majhen obseg uvoza iz Kitajske in kljub njegovim relativno nizkim cenam v obravnavanem obdobju bilo ugotovljeno, da so te domneve napačne.
Increasing competition among battery producers
Povečana konkurenčnost med proizvajalci baterij
It was further argued by some parties that the decrease in the Community industry’s sales prices of EMD was the result of increasing competition among battery producers and the price pressure suffered by them rather than of dumped imports from South Africa.
Poleg tega so nekatere strani trdile, da je znižanje prodajnih cen EMD industrije Skupnosti bolj rezultat povečane konkurenčnosti med proizvajalci baterij in pritiska na cene, ki so mu izpostavljeni, kot pa dampinškega uvoza iz Južne Afrike.
The investigation showed that indeed battery producers in the EC were subject to price pressure resulting from global increase in the costs of raw materials and increased competition.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so proizvajalci baterij v ES dejansko bili izpostavljeni pritisku na cene, ki je bil posledica povečanja stroškov surovine in povečane konkurenčnosti.
However, it was found that given the low number of EMD producers operating on the Community market, they had a significant power to negotiate the prices of the product concerned with the battery producers.
Vendar je bilo ugotovljeno, da so glede na majhno število proizvajalcev EMD, ki delujejo na trgu Skupnosti, ti imeli znatno moč, da se pogajajo o cenah zadevnega izdelka s proizvajalci baterij.
It is therefore considered that the decrease in the Community sales prices of EMD directly derives from the dumped imports and the undercutting practised by the South African exporting producer from the beginning of the period considered and not from the alleged price pressure exerted by the battery producers.
Zato se šteje, da je upad prodajnih cen EMD Skupnosti neposreden rezultat dampinškega uvoza in nelojalnega nižanja cen južnoafriškega proizvajalca izvoznika od začetka obravnavanega obdobja in ne rezultat domnevnega pritiska proizvajalcev baterij na cene.
In light of the above, it was provisionally concluded that the increasing competition among battery producers did not break the causal link between dumped imports from South Africa and the injury suffered by the Community industry.
Glede na navedeno je bilo začasno sklenjeno, da povečana konkurenčnost med proizvajalci baterij ni prekinila vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz Južne Afrike in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
The above analysis shows that there was a dramatic increase in the volume and market share of the imports originating in South Africa over the whole period considered, together with a considerable decrease in their prices coupled with a significant price undercutting during the IP.
Zgoraj navedena analiza kaže, da sta se v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju obseg in tržni delež uvoza iz Južne Afrike bistveno povečala, skupaj z znatnim znižanjem cen uvoza in precejšnjim nelojalnim nižanjem cen v obdobju preiskave.
This increase in the market share of the dumped imports coincided with a significant decrease in the sales volume and market share of the Community industry.
Povečanje tržnega deleža dampinškega uvoza sovpada z znatnim zmanjšanjem obsega prodaje in tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti.
This, together with downward pressure on prices, resulted, inter alia, in substantial losses to the Community industry during the IP.
To je skupaj s pritiskom na cene med drugim povzročilo precejšnje izgube industrije Skupnosti v obdobju preiskave.
Furthermore, an examination of the other factors which could have injured the Community industry revealed that none of these could have had such a significant negative impact on the industry as the dumped imports from South Africa.
Poleg tega je proučitev drugih dejavnikov, ki bi lahko škodovali industriji Skupnosti, razkrila, da nobeden od teh dejavnikov ne bi mogel imeti takšnega znatnega negativnega vpliva na industrijo kot dampinški uvoz iz Južne Afrike.
Based on the above, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports caused material injury to the Community industry in the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Glede na navedeno se začasno sklene, da je dampinški uvoz povzročil znatno škodo industriji Skupnosti v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
Pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it has been examined whether, despite the conclusions on dumping, injury and causal link, compelling reasons exist that would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Community interest to impose anti-dumping measures on imports from the country concerned.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali kljub sklepom o dampingu, škodi in vzročni zvezi obstajajo utemeljeni razlogi, ki bi vodili do sklepa, da uvedba protidampinških ukrepov za uvoz iz zadevne države ni v interesu Skupnosti.
It is recalled that the Community industry consists of one producer with production facilities in Greece, whose sales and profitability deteriorated significantly during the period considered, with a consequent negative impact on its market share, employment, return on investment and cash flow.
Treba je opomniti, da industrijo Skupnosti predstavlja en proizvajalec s proizvodnimi objekti v Grčiji, katerega prodaja in dobičkonosnost sta v obravnavanem obdobju znatno upadla, kar je posledično negativno vplivalo na njegov tržni delež, zaposlovanje, donosnost naložb in denarni tok.
If measures are not imposed it is likely that, as a result of the price pressure from the dumped imports, the lack of profitability will force the Community industry to cease production of EMD in the Community.
Če se ukrepi ne uvedejo, obstaja verjetnost, da bo zaradi nedobičkonosnosti kot rezultata pritiska dampinškega uvoza na cene industrija Skupnosti prisiljena, da opusti proizvodnjo EMD v Skupnosti.
It is recalled that one of the Community producers ceased production during the period considered.
Opomniti je treba, da je en proizvajalec Skupnosti opustil proizvodnjo v obravnavanem obdobju.
This coincided with increased pressure from South African imports on the Community market.
To je sovpadalo s povečanim pritiskom južnoafriškega uvoza na trg Skupnosti.
Moreover, the complainant Community producer was forced to temporarily cease production for one month in 2003, and has informed the Commission of a similar situation for a longer period in 2007.
Poleg tega je bil proizvajalec pritožnik Skupnosti leta 2003 prisiljen začasno opustiti proizvodnjo za mesec dni, Komisijo pa je obvestil tudi o podobni situaciji za daljše obdobje leta 2007.
It is noted that, like the South African exporting producer, the Community industry produces only EMD and the production lines cannot be used to produce any other products.
Poudariti je treba, da industrija Skupnosti tako kot južnoafriški proizvajalec izvoznik proizvaja samo EMD in da se proizvodna linija ne more uporabljati za proizvodnjo drugih izdelkov.
However, following the imposition of anti-dumping measures, it is expected that the sales volumes and prices of the Community industry on the Community market will rise, thus improving profitability of the Community industry and preventing closure.
Vendar se po uvedbi protidampinških ukrepov pričakuje, da se bodo obseg prodaje in cene industrije Skupnosti na trgu Skupnosti povečali, tako da se bo izboljšala dobičkonosnost industrije Skupnosti in preprečila opustitev proizvodnje.
The only industry that uses EMD is primary cell alkaline and carbon-zinc battery producers.
Edino industrijo, ki uporablja EMD, predstavljajo proizvajalci primarnih baterij na alkalični in cink-ogljikovi osnovi.
As mentioned above, questionnaires were sent to all known battery producers in the Community.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, so bili vprašalniki poslani vsem znanim proizvajalcem baterij v Skupnosti.
Replies were received from four companies representing 93 % of the Community consumption; three of the replies were verified on the spot.
Odgovore so poslale štiri družbe, ki predstavljajo 93 % potrošnje Skupnosti; trije med odgovori so bili preverjeni na kraju samem.
As mentioned above, it was found that the battery producers in the EC were under considerable pressure resulting from global increases in prices of raw materials (zinc, nickel, copper and steel) and increased global competition on the battery market.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bili proizvajalci baterij v ES izpostavljeni znatnemu pritisku, ki je bil rezultat globalnega povišanja cen surovin (cinka, niklja, bakra, jekla) in povečanja globalne konkurence na trgu baterij.
They submitted that the imposition of anti-dumping measures on imports from South Africa would increase the existing price pressure and cause losses, since they would not be in a position to pass any price increases on to their clients.
Trdili so, da bi uvedba protidampinških ukrepov na uvoz iz Južne Afrike povečala obstoječi pritisk na cene in povzročila izgube, saj povišanja cen ne bi mogli prenesti na svoje stranke.
However, it was found that they were generally still in a good financial situation, with substantial pre-tax profits in the IP and they had increased their sales volume over the period considered thanks to the positive public image of their brands.
Vendar je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bili v obdobju preiskave na splošno še vedno v dobrem finančnem položaju z znatnim dobičkom pred obdavčitvijo, v obravnavanem obdobju pa so povečali obseg prodaje zaradi pozitivne javne podobe svojih blagovnih znamk.
Based on the information received, it was possible to verify that the cost of EMD for producing batteries can vary between 10 and 15 % (depending on the size of the battery) of the total costs and it was possible to estimate that the imposition of the anti-dumping duty at the proposed level should not increase the estimated level of the battery price by more than EUR 0,01 to EUR 0,02. The increase in battery prices which may result from the imposition of anti-dumping duties was obtained by applying the proposed level of duty to the costs of production for different sizes of batteries.
Glede na dobljene informacije je bilo možno preveriti, ali so lahko stroški EMD za proizvajanje baterij med 10 % in 15 % (odvisno od velikosti baterij) skupnih stroškov, in oceniti, ali uvedba protidampinške dajatve na predlagani ravni ne more povečati ocenjene ravni cene baterij za več kot 0,01 EUR do 0,02 EUR. Povišanje cen baterij, ki je lahko rezultat uvedbe protidampinške dajatve, je bilo določeno z uporabo predlagane ravni dajatve za stroške proizvodnje za različne velikosti baterij.
While generally opposing the imposition of measures, several users admitted that disappearance of the Community industry would probably have a negative effect on their situation and competition on the EC market, as the Community industry is a producer of high quality EMD suitable for high-end battery production.
Kljub splošnemu nasprotovanju uvedbi ukrepov je več uporabnikov priznalo, da bi opustitev proizvodnje industrije Skupnosti imela negativen učinek na njihov položaj in konkurenco na trgu ES, saj industrija Skupnosti proizvaja visoko kvalitetne EMD, primerne za proizvodnjo vrhunskih baterij.
Thus, if the Community industry were to disappear, users would run the risk of becoming dependent on EMD from South Africa alone.
Če bi industrija Skupnosti opustila proizvodnjo, bi uporabniki tvegali, da postanejo odvisni samo od EMD iz Južne Afrike.
In the light of the above, it may be provisionally concluded that the imposition of any anti-dumping measures are unlikely to affect seriously the situation of the user industry.
Glede na navedeno se lahko začasno sklene, da uvedba kakršnih koli protidampinških ukrepov verjetno ne more resno vplivati na stanje industrije uporabnikov.
The sole Community importer of EMD from South Africa cooperated in the investigation.
Edini uvoznik v Skupnosti, ki uvaža EMD iz Južne Afrike, je sodeloval v preiskavi.
On the basis of the information submitted, it was found that this importer was Delta’s exclusive and independent agent.
Na podlagi predloženih informacij je bilo ugotovljeno, da je ta uvoznik izključni in neodvisni zastopnik družbe Delta.
All imports of EMD from South Africa were sold in the Community through this company.
Celoten uvoz EMD iz Južne Afrike je bil v Skupnosti prodan prek te družbe.
Its trading activities represented less than 20 % of its turnover.
Njene trgovinske dejavnosti so predstavljale manj kot 20 % njenega prometa.
This importer expressed concerns about the possible imposition of measures.
Ta uvoznik je izrazil zaskrbljenost zaradi možne uvedbe ukrepov.
However, even if its sales decreased after the imposition of measures and the agent’s commissions were reduced, it is expected to remain financially healthy and it is unlikely that the importer would be significantly affected by the measures.
Vendar tudi če njegova prodaja po uvedbi ukrepov upade in se provizije zastopnika zmanjšajo, se pričakuje, da bo ohranil dobro finančno stanje, poleg tega pa ukrepi verjetno ne bodo znatno vplivali na uvoznika.
Thus, it is clear that the impact of the anti-dumping duty would be borne by the users.
Tako je jasno, da bo protidampinška dajatev vplivala na uporabnike.
