The investigation did not reveal any difficulties encountered by the sampled Community producers in raising capital.
Preiskava ni pokazala nobenih težav vzorčenih proizvajalcev Skupnosti pri zbiranju kapitala.
In this respect, it should be noted that as several of these companies are part of large groups, they finance their activities within the group to which they belong either through cash-pooling schemes or through intra-group loans granted by the mother companies.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da je več teh družb del velikih skupin in zato svoje dejavnosti financirajo znotraj skupin, ki jim pripadajo, prek sistemov denarnega združevanja ali prek posojil znotraj skupin, ki jih odobrijo matične družbe.
Between 2002 and the RIP, the following indicators developed positively: production volume of the Community industry increased, unit sales prices of the Community industry increased and profitability improved substantially in line with the prices.
Med letom 2002 in OPP so se pozitivno razvijali naslednji kazalniki: obseg proizvodnje industrije Skupnosti se je povečal, prodajne cene na enoto industrije Skupnosti so se zvišale, dobičkonosnost pa se je glede na cene znatno izboljšala.
Exports to third countries increased and return on investment and cash flow evolved positively as well.
Izvoz v tretje države se je povečal, donosnost naložb in denarni tok pa sta se razvijala pozitivno.
Wages developed moderately and the Community industry continued to invest.
Plače so se razvijale zmerno, industrija Skupnosti pa je še naprej vlagala.
Conversely, the following indicators developed negatively: sales volumes on the Community market decreased by 3 % as opposed to a growing market.
Nasprotno so se negativno razvijali naslednji kazalniki: obseg prodaje na trgu Skupnosti se je v nasprotju z rastočim trgom zmanjšal za 3 %.
Accordingly, the market share of the Community industry decreased substantially by 8 percentage points during the period considered.
V skladu s tem se je tržni delež industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju znatno zmanjšal, in sicer za 8 odstotnih točk.
The productivity remained rather stable despite the efforts of the Community industry to improve it through investments.
Kljub prizadevanju industrije Skupnosti za izboljšanje produktivnosti prek naložb, je produktivnost ostala sorazmerno stabilna.
Overall, the situation of the Community industry has improved significantly as compared to its situation prior to the imposition of the anti-dumping measures on imports of UAN from the countries concerned in 2000.
Na splošno se je položaj industrije Skupnosti znatno izboljšal v primerjavi s položajem pred uvedbo protidampinških ukrepov na uvoz SAN iz zadevnih držav leta 2000.
It is therefore clear that these measures had a positive impact on the economic situation of the Community industry.
Zato je jasno, da so ti ukrepi pozitivno vplivali na gospodarski položaj industrije Skupnosti.
Nevertheless, it should be stressed that the positive development of certain indicators can also be partly attributed to the market of the like product, which was, due to the tight worldwide supply, very favourable during the two last years of the period considered.
Kljub temu je treba poudariti, da se lahko pozitivni razvoj nekaterih kazalnikov delno pripiše tudi razmeram na trgu podobnega izdelka, ki so bile v zadnjih dveh letih obravnavanega obdobja zaradi omejene ponudbe po vsem svetu zelo ugodne.
Furthermore, the positive development of the Community industry’s export performance has also contributed to the overall positive evolution of the Community industry counterbalancing to a certain extent the shrinking market share within the Community.
Poleg tega je k splošnemu pozitivnemu razvoju industrije Skupnosti prispeval tudi pozitivni razvoj izvoza industrije Skupnosti, ki je deloma izravnal zmanjšanje tržnega deleža v Skupnosti.
It is therefore concluded that the situation of the Community industry has improved, as compared to the period preceding the imposition of measures, but is still fragile.
Zato se sklene, da se je položaj industrije Skupnosti v primerjavi z obdobjem pred uvedbo ukrepov izboljšal, vendar je še vedno občutljiv.
Likelihood of recurrence of injury
Verjetnost ponovnega pojava škode
Since there is no continuation of material injury caused by imports from the four countries concerned, the analysis focused on the likelihood of recurrence of injury.
Ker izvoz iz štirih zadevnih držav ni povzročil nadaljnje znatne škode, se je analiza osredotočila na verjetnost ponovnega pojava škode.
In this respect, two main parameters were analysed: (i) the gas cost in the countries concerned and its impact on the UAN production cost, and (ii) the effect of the projected export volumes from the countries concerned to the Community on the Community industry, taking into account the conditions of competition.
V zvezi s tem sta bila analizirana dva glavna parametra: (i) stroški plina v zadevnih državah in njihov vpliv na proizvodne stroške SAN ter (ii) vpliv predvidenega obsega izvoza iz zadevnih držav v Skupnost na industrijo Skupnosti, ob upoštevanju konkurenčnih pogojev.
Likely evolution of sales prices: Gas prices and cost of production in the countries concerned
Verjeten razvoj prodajnih cen: cene plina in proizvodni stroški v zadevnih državah
The likelihood of the recurrence of injury will depend strongly on the likely price evolution of UAN.
Verjetnost ponovnega pojava škode bo zelo odvisna od možnega razvoja cen SAN.
As gas is by far the most important cost element representing more than 50 % of the UAN cost of production when purchased at world market prices, and is therefore a determining factor in the selling price of UAN.
Plin je najpomembnejši del stroškov, saj predstavlja več kot 50 % proizvodnih stroškov SAN, kadar se kupuje po cenah na svetovnem trgu, zato je odločujoč dejavnik pri prodajni ceni SAN.
The gas cost in the UAN production depends on the gas efficiency use and the unit price.
Stroški plina v proizvodnji SAN so odvisni od učinkovite porabe plina in cene na enoto.
An analysis of these two parameters in the production cost of UAN for the Community industry, on one side, and for Russia and Algeria, on the other side, has been conducted.
Za industrijo Skupnosti, Rusijo in Alžirijo je bila izvedena analiza teh dveh parametrov v proizvodnih stroških SAN.
From this analysis it was firstly shown that gas efficiency is an important factor in establishing the cost of gas per tonne of UAN produced.
Ta analiza je najprej pokazala, da je učinkovitost plina pomemben dejavnik določanja stroškov plina na tono proizvedenega SAN.
In this respect, it was found that the gas efficiency of the Community industry was relatively high, reaching up to 15 % lower consumption of gas per tonne of UAN produced than that of the producers in Russia and Algeria.
V zvezi s tem je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila učinkovitost plina v industriji Skupnosti sorazmerno visoka, saj je dosegla do 15 % manjšo porabo plina na tono proizvedenega SAN od porabe proizvajalcev v Rusiji in Alžiriji.
This is the result of the Community industry’s efforts to continuously improve its productivity and competitiveness through appropriate investments requiring a yearly capital inflow approximating in average one third of its total net book-value assets.
To je rezultat prizadevanja industrije Skupnosti za stalno izboljševanje produktivnosti in konkurenčnosti prek ustreznih naložb, ki zahtevajo letni pritok kapitala v povprečju v višini ene tretjine skupne neto knjigovodske vrednosti sredstev.
This comparative advantage should benefit the Community industry and result in a lower cost of production of UAN.
Primerjalna prednost mora koristiti industriji Skupnosti in zmanjšati proizvodne stroške SAN.
Despite this efficiency, the Community industry ends with a gas cost per tonne of UAN produced around threefold higher than that of Russia and Algeria because of the gas price difference.
Kljub tej učinkovitosti so stroški plina na tono proizvedenega SAN industrije Skupnosti zaradi razlike v cenah plina približno trikrat višji od stroškov Rusije in Alžirije.
The artificially low gas prices in these two countries fully explain the difference.
To razliko je mogoče v celoti pojasniti z neobičajno nizkimi cenami plina v teh dveh državah.
The consequent price difference of UAN in these two countries as compared to producers purchasing gas at world market prices, like those in the Community, is unlikely to be reduced in the near future.
Posledična razlika v ceni SAN v teh dveh državah v primerjavi s proizvajalci, ki plin kupujejo po cenah na svetovnem trgu, kot so to proizvajalci v Skupnosti, se v bližnji prihodnosti verjetno ne bo zmanjšala.
On the contrary, should the current pattern in the development of the world market gas prices in the forthcoming years be maintained, this gap may be further broadened.
Ta razlika se lahko še poveča, če se bo sedanji vzorec razvoja cen plina na svetovnem trgu v naslednjih letih ohranil.
On this basis, it is considered that producers in Russia and Algeria will continue to have this artificial cost advantage, which overcomes largely the high transport costs due to the weight of UAN.
Na podlagi tega se šteje, da bodo proizvajalci iz Rusije in Alžirije še naprej uživali umetno ustvarjeno stroškovno prednost, ki zaradi teže SAN v veliki meri presega visoke prevozne stroške.
This renders the Community market attractive to producers even located in remote areas in these countries bearing transport costs higher than 20 % of the price.
Zato je trg Skupnosti privlačen tudi za proizvajalce iz oddaljenih območij v teh državah, katerih prevozni stroški presegajo 20 % cene.
In the light of those low gas prices, the exporting producers in Russia and Algeria will thus very likely have the possibility to export the product concerned to the Community at lower prices than the Community industry’s cost of production.
Glede na nizke cene plina je zelo verjetno, da bodo proizvajalci izvozniki v Rusiji in Alžiriji lahko izvažali zadevni izdelek v Skupnost po cenah, ki so nižje od proizvodnih stroškov industrije Skupnosti.
Therefore, it is very likely that those imports would undercut the C.I.'s prices substantially.
Zato je zelo verjetno, da bo ta uvoz privedel do znatnega nelojalnega nižanja cen industrije Skupnosti.
As for Belarus and Ukraine, they are not included in this analysis since for the purpose of this investigation both were considered to be non-market economy countries and therefore their data on cost of production were not requested.
Belorusija in Ukrajina nista vključeni v analizo, ker sta se v tej preiskavi šteli za državi z netržnim gospodarstvom, zato se podatki o proizvodnih stroških niso zahtevali.
However, specific data concerning gas prices in these two countries were acquired and the investigation has shown that the producers in these countries were being supplied with gas in the RIP at substantially lower prices than the prices charged to the Community industry.
Vseeno pa so se pridobili posebni podatki o cenah plina v teh dveh državah, preiskava pa je pokazala, da so proizvajalci v teh državah v OPP kupovali plin po cenah, ki so bile znatno nižje od cen, zaračunanih industriji Skupnosti.
It is therefore considered that both countries will equally have the possibility to export the product concerned at lower prices than the Community industry’s cost of production and it can also be concluded that there is likelihood that those prices would undercut the C.I.'s prices.
Zato se šteje, da bosta obe državi imeli enako možnost izvažanja zadevnega izdelka po cenah, ki so nižje od proizvodnih stroškov industrije Skupnosti, prav tako pa je verjetno, da bodo te cene privedle do nelojalnega nižanja cen industrije Skupnosti.
Should measures lapse, the fact that the Belarusian, Russian and Ukrainian exporters would need to re-establish themselves on the Community market and the Algerian exporters would need to strengthen their market position may also support the view that there is a likelihood that those producers would charge lower prices than the C.I. in order to regain lost market share or broaden their customer base.
Dejstvo, da se bodo izvozniki iz Belorusije, Rusije in Ukrajine v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov morali ponovno uveljaviti na trgu Skupnosti, alžirski izvozniki pa bodo morali okrepiti svoj položaj na trgu, lahko tudi potrdi stališče, da bodo navedeni proizvajalci verjetno zaračunavali nižje cene od cen industrije Skupnosti, da bi ponovno pridobili izgubljen tržni delež ali razširili svojo mrežo kupcev.
EFIA and certain exporting producers argued that lower costs of production could not be considered as a valid reason to justify the likelihood of recurrence of injury.
EFIA in nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da nižji proizvodni stroški ne morejo biti veljaven razlog, s katerim bi utemeljili verjetnosti ponovnega pojava škode.
It was further submitted that the possibility to undercut is not the legal standard to establish whether injury is likely to recur.
Prav tako po njihovem mnenju ni pravno dopustno, da bi verjetnosti ponovnega pojava škode utemeljili na možnosti nelojalnega nižanja cen.
Moreover, Algeria charged prices above the Community industry’s prices and Belarus, Russia and Ukraine did not export to the Community at all in 2004 and the RIP and their prices to third countries were above the Community industry’s prices, which are considered to be non-injurious.
Poleg tega je Alžirija zaračunavala cene, višje od cen industrije Skupnosti, Belorusija, Rusija in Ukrajina pa leta 2004 in med OPP v Skupnost sploh niso izvažale, njihove cene tretjim državam pa so bile nad cenami industrije Skupnosti, za katere velja, da ne povzročajo škode.
This evidence would demonstrate, according to EFIA, that the exporting producers are not relying on their lower gas cost by setting lower prices, but on the contrary charge higher prices and rather aim to maximise their profit margin.
To po mnenju EFIA dokazuje, da proizvajalci izvozniki svojih nižjih stroškov plina ne izkoriščajo za določanje nižjih cen, ampak nasprotno zaračunavajo višje cene in si prizadevajo maksimizirati svojo stopnjo dobička.
The rationale behind the establishment of likelihood of recurrence of injury is indeed whether the expiry of the measures would create conditions that would encourage the recurrence of injury.
Določitev verjetnosti ponovnega pojava škode dejansko temelji na vprašanju, ali bi iztek ukrepov privedel do razmer, ki bi spodbudile ponovni pojav škode.
In this respect, it should be firstly noted that, as the parties acknowledge, the exporting producers in the countries concerned benefit from low gas prices, which offer them the discretion to undercut the Community industry’s prices.
V zvezi s tem je treba najprej opozoriti, da, kot priznavajo stranke, proizvajalci izvozniki v zadevnih državah uživajo ugodnosti nižjih cen plina, ki jim dajejo diskrecijo za nelojalno nižanje cen industrije Skupnosti.
On the other side, the investigation showed that their exports during the RIP were dumped.
Na drugi strani je preiskava pokazala, da je bil njihov izvoz med OPP dampinški.
This pricing behaviour was seen in the light of (i) the exporters’ significant spare export capacity, and (ii) their substantially lower cost of production.
To določanje cen je bilo obravnavano z vidika (i) znatnih prostih izvoznih zmogljivosti izvoznikov in (ii) njihovih znatno nižjih proizvodnih stroškov.
The first indicates their strong incentive to find the markets for selling their production.
Prvo kaže na njihovo močno prizadevanje, da bi našli trge za prodajo svojih izdelkov.
The second shows their capability to undercut severely the Community industry prices, in order to meet their sales requirements in volume.
Drugo kaže na njihovo zmogljivost za znatno nelojalno nižanje cen industrije Skupnosti, s čimer bi izpolnili svoje cilje glede prodaje.
With regard to the prices, it should be recalled that during the last two years of the period considered, favourable market conditions kept the prices at a very high level irrespective of the applicable anti-dumping measures.
V zvezi s cenami je treba opozoriti, da so v zadnjih dveh letih obravnavanega obdobja ugodne tržne razmere ohranile cene na zelo visoki ravni, ne glede na veljavne protidampinške ukrepe.
Indeed, during that period, a tight worldwide supply demand balance resulted in high prices for all nitrogen fertilisers.
Dejansko je med navedenim obdobjem tesno ravnotežje med ponudbo in povpraševanjem po vsem svetu privedlo do visokih cen za vsa dušikova gnojila.
UAN is like the other nitrogen fertilisers a commodity whose pricing is influenced by numerous factors, going from the volatile gas price having a considerable impact on the supply as being the most important costing element to the weather conditions, crops and grain stock levels resulting in reduced or increased demand.
SAN je tako kot druga dušikova gnojila blago, pri katerem se cena določa pod vplivom številnih dejavnikov, ki segajo od nestanovitnih cen plina, ki so najpomembnejši stroškovni element in znatno vplivajo na ponudbo, do vremenskih razmer, zalog pridelka in žitnih zalog, kar privede do zmanjšanega ali povečanega povpraševanja.
With particular regard to the Community market, the demand for nitrogen fertilisers is expected to slightly decrease in the forthcoming years [7].
Predvsem kar zadeva trg Skupnosti, se pričakuje, da se bo povpraševanje po dušikovih gnojilih v naslednjih letih rahlo povečalo [7].
The maintenance of such high prices depends therefore on a tight supply, which is nevertheless very unlikely, as the investigation showed, given the spare export capacity of the countries concerned and the likelihood of redirection of part of their exports to third countries during the RIP, should the measures be lapsed.
Ohranitev tako visokih cen je zato odvisna od omejene ponudbe, ki pa je po rezultatih preiskave glede na proste izvozne zmogljivosti zadevnih držav in verjetnosti preusmeritve dela njihovega izvoza iz tretjih držav, kamor so izvažale med OPP, v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov precej neverjetna.
This scenario will very likely lead the exporting producers to lower their prices undercutting the prices of the Community industry, in order to gain market share and meet their requirements in export volumes.
Ta scenarij bo zelo verjetno privedel do tega, da bodo proizvajalci izvozniki znižali svoje cene in s tem nelojalno nižali cene industrije Skupnosti, da bi tako pridobili tržni delež in izpolnili svoje cilje glede obsega izvoza.
Under such circumstances, the Community industry would be forced either to lower its prices to a level close to or below the cost of production given the maintained high cost of gas or to lose significant market share and thus revenue, or both.
V takšnih razmerah bi bila industrija Skupnosti prisiljena bodisi svoje cene glede na ohranitev visokih cen plina znižati na raven, ki je blizu ravni proizvodnih stroškov ali pod njo, bodisi odreči se znatnemu tržnemu deležu in s tem prihodkom, ali storiti oboje.
An increase of exports to the USA market is highly unlikely due to the reasons set out in recital 135.
Povečanje izvoza na trg ZDA je zaradi razlogov, navedenih v uvodni izjavi (135), zelo neverjetno.
Therefore, a deterioration of the Community industry’s overall performance would be the inevitable consequence of the repeal of the measures.
Zato bi bila neizogibna posledica razveljavitve ukrepov poslabšanje celotnega poslovanja industrije Skupnosti.
With regard to the profit-maximising argument, it should be noted that this is based on the positive price differential observed during the period considered between the USA and the Community market, which nevertheless cannot be considered as an appreciation element for the future prices of a highly volatile commodity such as UAN.
Kar zadeva argument o čim večjem dobičku, je treba opozoriti, da ta temelji na pozitivni cenovni razliki, ki je bila med trgom ZDA in Skupnosti zabeležena med obravnavanim obdobjem, česar pa ni mogoče obravnavati kot element za oceno prihodnjih cen tako zelo nestanovitnega blaga, kot je SAN.
On the basis of the above, it was established that there is a high risk of recurrence of injury, should the measures be repealed, and therefore the argument was rejected.
Na podlagi zgornjih ugotovitev je bilo sklenjeno, da lahko razveljavitev ukrepov zelo verjetno privede do ponovnega pojava škode, zato je bil argument zavrnjen.
Impact on the Community industry of the projected export volumes and price effects in case of repeal of measures
Vpliv predvidenega obsega izvoza in cen na industrijo Skupnosti v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov
Preliminary remarks — Conditions of competition
Uvodne opombe – konkurenčni pogoji
UAN is a liquid fertiliser supplying nitrogen to crops.
SAN je tekoče gnojilo za oskrbo pridelkov z dušikom.
It is mainly used as a pre-planting fertiliser for arable crops, which require UAN usually in the spring time.
Večinoma se uporablja kot gnojilo pred sajenjem poljščin, ki potrebujejo SAN običajno spomladi.
UAN has a limited interchangeability with the other nitrogen fertilisers as farmers use different equipment for applying UAN and it can be mixed with other solutions, such as pesticides, for a single application.
SAN je z drugimi dušikovimi gnojili mogoče zamenjati le pogojno, saj kmetje pri tem gnojilu uporabljajo različno opremo, prav tako pa se lahko meša z drugimi raztopinami, kot so pesticidi za enkratno uporabo.
Demand is therefore characterised by seasonal peaks and is relatively inelastic.
Povpraševanje je zato odvisno od sezone in je sorazmerno neelastično.
Although UAN is generally consumed seasonally, it is produced throughout the year as this is more efficient than ceasing production.
Čeprav se SAN na splošno uporablja sezonsko, se proizvaja vse leto, saj je to učinkovitejše kot opustitev proizvodnje.
As a result, Community producers are found with peak inventories during autumn and winter.
Zato imajo proizvajalci Skupnosti največje zaloge jeseni in pozimi.
Massive imports of the product concerned at depressed prices during spring and summer will very likely have a significant adverse effect on the Community industry’s prices for such a highly volatile commodity as the product concerned, for which prices are set on a weekly basis.
Zelo verjetno je, da bo velik uvoz zadevnega izdelka po nizkih cenah spomladi in poleti zelo negativno vplival na cene industrije Skupnosti za tako zelo nestabilen izdelek, kot je zadevni izdelek, katerega cena se določa vsak teden.
Exports from the countries concerned
Izvoz iz zadevnih držav
Given the absence of exports from the countries concerned except Algeria during the RIP, the analysis is focused on the likelihood of redirection of exports made to other countries during the RIP towards the Community market in the imminent future.
Ob upoštevanju dejstva, da zadevne države članice, razen Alžirije, v OPP niso izvažale, je bila analiza osredotočena na verjetnost preusmeritve izvoza iz drugih držav v OPP na trg Skupnosti v bližnji prihodnosti.
In addition, the likely evolution of sales prices of UAN has to be analysed.
Poleg tega je treba analizirati verjeten razvoj prodajnih cen SAN.
Regarding the likely evolution of exports to the Community market, it should be noted that imports of UAN into the USA market originating in Belarus, Russia and Ukraine were subject to anti-dumping measures until their repeal in April 2003.
V zvezi z verjetnim razvojem izvoza na trg Skupnosti je treba poudariti, da so se za uvoz SAN na trg ZDA iz Belorusije, Rusije in Ukrajine protidampinški ukrepi uporabljali do njihove razveljavitve aprila 2003.
The table below shows the export development of these three countries to the USA market as of 2003:
