In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission has examined whether dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC have caused injury to the Community industry to a degree that may be considered material.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(6) in (7) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali je dampinški uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK povzročil tolikšno škodo industriji Skupnosti, da se lahko šteje za znatno škodo.
Imports from the PRC were at significant levels during the period considered, i.e. constantly representing 10 % market share or more.
Uvoz iz LRK je bil v obravnavanem obdobju znatno visok, tj. neprekinjeno 10 % tržnega deleža ali več.
At the same time, average prices of all exporting producers in the PRC decreased by 2 % and they undercut the average Community industry prices by 3,3 % in the IP.
Obenem so se povprečne cene vseh proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK znižale za 2 % in so v OP nelojalno znižale povprečne cene industrije Skupnosti za 3,3 %.
The Community industry, in order to assure its presence on its home market and due to the very low market prices set by imports from the PRC, felt obliged to decrease its sales prices by 5 % during the period considered.
Industrija Skupnosti je menila, da mora znižati svoje prodajne cene za 5 % v obravnavanem obdobju, da bi zagotovila svoj obstoj na svojem domačem trgu in zaradi zelo nizkih tržnih cen, ki jih je oblikoval uvoz iz LRK.
Therefore, the effect of this unfair pricing behaviour of the dumped imports from the PRC was that the Community industry's prices were suppressed and that they could not cover the substantial increase of cost of raw materials.
To nepošteno oblikovanje cen dampinškega uvoza iz LRK je preprečilo dvig cen industrije Skupnosti, ki tako niso zmogle pokriti znatnega zvišanja cen surovin.
This was confirmed by the significant reduction in profitability by the Community industry.
To se je potrdilo z znatnim zmanjšanjem dobičkonosnosti industrije Skupnosti.
Based on the above considerations, it was found that the low-priced imports from the PRC which significantly undercut the prices of the Community industry have had a determining role in the deterioration of the situation of the Community industry, which is reflected in the sharp decrease of profitability and strong deterioration of the other financial indicators.
Glede na zgornje premisleke je bilo ugotovljeno, da je uvoz iz LRK po nizkih cenah, ki je znatno nelojalno nižal cene industrije Skupnosti, odločilno vplival na poslabšanje stanja industrije Skupnosti, kar se je odražalo v močnem zmanjšanju dobičkonosnosti in hudem poslabšanju drugih finančnih kazalnikov.
Imports originating in third countries other than the PRC
Izvoz s poreklom iz tretjih držav, razen LRK
According to Eurostat and the information collected during the investigation, the main third countries from which PVA is imported are the USA, Japan and Taiwan.
Glede na podatke Eurostata in informacije, zbrane med preiskavo, so glavne tretje države, iz katerih se uvaža PVA, ZDA, Japonska in Tajvan.

Imports from the USA have strongly increased since 2003 and during the IP they had amounted to more than 22000 tonnes, accounting for almost 14 % of the total (captive and non-captive) Community market.
Uvoz iz ZDA se je od leta 2003 močno povečal in v OP znašal več kot 22000 ton, kar je predstavljalo skoraj 14 % celotnega trga Skupnosti (za lastno in nelastno uporabo).
The investigation showed that the bulk of these sales concerned sales between related parties and that the average unit prices of these transfer sales were, throughout the period considered, between 15 % and 20 % above the average cif prices of Chinese imports.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je glavnina te prodaje zadevala prodajo med povezanimi strankami in da je bila povprečna cena na enoto te transferne prodaje v vsem obravnavanem obdobju 15 do 20 % nad povprečnimi cenami CIF kitajskega uvoza.
Moreover, it was established that the quantities were resold to independent customers at prices 10 %-20 % higher than these aforementioned transfer import prices.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bile količine prodane naprej neodvisnim strankam po cenah, ki so bile 10–20 % višje od zgoraj omenjenih transfernih uvoznih cen.
As the market prices of PVA originating in the USA were consequently in the same ballpark as sales prices of PVA produced by the Community industry, they did not play a role in the price depression observed during the period considered.
Ker so se posledično tržne cene PVA s poreklom iz ZDA gibale v enakem razponu kot prodajne cene PVA, proizvedenega v industriji Skupnosti, niso vplivale na znižanje cen v obravnavanem obdobju.
It is therefore concluded that these imports did not have a significant effect on the situation of the Community industry.
Zato se sklene, da ta uvoz ni znatno vplival na stanje industrije Skupnosti.
During the period considered there were also significant imports from Japan, accounting for almost 9 % of the Community market during the IP.
V obravnavanem obdobju je bil tudi uvoz iz Japonske precejšen, in sicer je v OP predstavljal skoraj 9 % trga Skupnosti.
After Japanese imports had dropped in 2004, they increased again as from 2005 and they were 3 % higher during the IP as compared to 2003.
Potem ko je leta 2004 japonski uvoz upadel, je ponovno naraščal od leta 2005 naprej in je bil v OP za 3 % večji kot leta 2003.
However, analysis of the sales prices of these imports showed that the average import prices of these imports were above the prices that the Community industry could obtain and they therefore have not contributed to the negative price trend which led to the serious deterioration of the Community industry's situation.
Vendar pa je analiza prodajnih cen tega uvoza pokazala, da so bile povprečne cene tega uvoza višje od cen, ki bi jih industrija Skupnosti lahko bila zahtevala, in zato niso vplivale na negativno gibanje cen, ki je povzročilo resno poslabšanje stanja industrije Skupnosti.
Imports from Taiwan are from one producer only which fully cooperated with the investigation.
Iz Tajvana je uvažal samo en proizvajalec, ki je v preiskavi v celoti sodeloval.
These figures were found to be more reliable than Eurostat data given that the CN code covers other products than the product concerned.
Njegovi podatki so se šteli za bolj zanesljive kot podatki Eurostata, glede na to, da je oznaka KN razširjena na izdelke, ki niso zajeti v opisu zadevnega izdelka.
They are for confidentiality reasons presented in indexes or ranges.
Zaradi zaupnosti podatkov so predstavljeni v indeksih ali razponih.
Taiwanese imports, after a sharp increase in 2004, decreased gradually and accounted for 6 % to 7 % of the entire Community market during the IP (around half of the market share of imports from the PRC).
Tajvanski uvoz se je po močnem povečanju leta 2004 postopoma zmanjševal in v OP predstavljal 6–7 % celotnega trga Skupnosti (približno polovico tržnega deleža uvoza iz LRK).
During the same period, average prices of these imports increased by 8 % which is opposite to the price trend observed as regards imports from the PRC.
V istem obdobju so se povprečne cene tega uvoza zvišale za 8 %, kar je v nasprotju z gibanjem cen v zvezi z uvozom iz LRK.
Consequently, the price difference between PVA imported from the PRC and PVA imported from Taiwan increased from 12 % to 18 % during the IP.
Zato se je v OP razlika v cenah za PVA, uvožen iz LRK, in PVA, uvožen iz Tajvana, povečala za 12–18 %.
In view of these findings, it is provisionally concluded that these imports did not have a significant impact on the state of the Community industry.
Ob upoštevanju teh ugotovitev se začasno sklene, da ta uvoz ni znatno vplival na stanje industrije Skupnosti.
Further to the imports from the USA, Japan and Taiwan, there are no significant imports from other countries.
Poleg uvoza iz ZDA, Japonske in Tajvana ni znatnega uvoza iz drugih držav.
On the basis of the findings with regard to these imports, as described under recitals 97 to 100, it can thus provisionally be concluded that imports other than from the PRC did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Na podlagi ugotovitev v zvezi s tem uvozom, kakor je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 97 do 100, se lahko začasno sklene, da uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, razen LRK, ni prispeval k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Eventual Community sales of other Community producers
Prodaja drugih proizvajalcev Skupnosti na trgu Skupnosti
As stipulated in recitals 54 and 55, apart from the two producers comprising the Community industry, in the Community there are known to be four more companies producing the product concerned.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 54 in 55, poleg dveh proizvajalcev, ki tvorita industrijo Skupnosti, obstajajo v Skupnosti še štiri družbe, ki proizvajajo zadevni izdelek.
Three of them, out of which two cooperated with the investigation as a user, consume all their own produced PVA in the manufacturing of downstream products.
Tri od njih, med katerimi sta dve v preiskavi sodelovali kot uporabnici, porabijo ves PVA lastne proizvodnje za izdelavo izdelkov na koncu proizvodne verige.
The fourth one is producing very limited quantities only.
Četrta proizvaja samo zelo omejene količine.
In view of the above, the other Community producers are deemed to have played no role in the price depression on the market and the subsequent injury suffered by the Community industry.
Na podlagi navedenega je mogoče sklepati, da ostali proizvajalci Skupnosti niso vplivali na znižanje cen na trgu in posledično na škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Self-inflicted injury due to cost inefficiency
Samopovzročena škoda zaradi stroškovne neučinkovitosti
Several interested parties claimed that any injury suffered by the Community industry was linked to the fact that the Community industry had not managed to stay cost competitive and that it had taken unreasonable investment decisions.
Več zainteresiranih strank je trdilo, da je bila kakršna koli škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, povezana z dejstvom, da industrija Skupnosti ni uspela ostati stroškovno konkurenčna in da je sprejemala neustrezne odločitve glede naložb.
In this respect, as described under recital 86, the investigation has shown that the Community industry, during the period considered, has significantly increased its productivity, due to an increase in production output and a decrease in workforce.
Kakor je opisano v uvodni izjavi 86, je preiskava v zvezi s tem pokazala, da se je produktivnost industrije Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju zaradi povečane proizvodnje in zmanjšanja delovne sile znatno povečala.
It was further established that the investments involved with the increase in production capacity (see recital 73) did not significantly influence the dramatically negative trend observed in the development of the financial position of the Community industry.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da naložbe v zvezi s povečanjem proizvodne zmogljivosti (glej uvodno izjavo 73) niso znatno vplivale na izjemno negativen trend v razvoju finančnega stanja industrije Skupnosti.
The sole factor significantly affecting in a negative way the cost of production of the like product during the period considered, therefore, was the steep rise in the main raw material prices used for the production of the like product, as explained in recitals 78 and 79.
Edini dejavnik, ki je v obravnavanem obdobju znatno negativno vplival na proizvodne stroške podobnega izdelka je bil torej strm dvig cen glavnih surovin, uporabljenih za proizvodnjo podobnega izdelka, kakor je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 78 in 79.
The investigation showed that the development of the Community industry's purchase prices of VAM and energy was proportional to the development of these raw material prices on the global market and they therefore cannot be attributed to the way the Community industry purchased these.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je razvoj nabavnih cen industrije Skupnosti za VAM in energijo sorazmeren z razvojem teh cen surovin na svetovnem trgu in jih zato ni mogoče pripisati načinu, na katerega je industrija Skupnosti nabavila te surovine.
The argument is therefore dismissed.
Ta utemeljitev se zato zavrne.
Time lag for price adjustment
Zakasnitev zaradi prilagoditve cen
An important user of PVA submitted that it would be normal, for this particular sector, for the increase in VAM purchase price not to have yet led to an upward adjustment of the PVA sales price.
Pomemben uporabnik PVA je navedel, da bi bilo v tem določenem sektorju normalno, da zvišanje nabavne cene za VAM še ne bi vodilo k prilagoditvi prodajne cene PVA navzgor.
This would be explained by the fact that long-term contracts are standard in the sector and, therefore, a significant time lag would be a normal phenomenon.
To bi se dalo pojasniti z dejstvom, da so dolgoročne pogodbe običajne v tem sektorju in da je zato znatna zakasnitev normalen pojav.
In this respect, whilst it is recognised that certain sales of the Community industry are done via long-term agreements, it is not common that such agreements include a fixed price for a period of more than one year.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da kljub temu, da industrija Skupnosti določeno prodajo opravi prek dolgoročnih dogovorov, ni običajno, da takšne pogodbe vključujejo fiksne cene za obdobje, daljše od enega leta.
Within these agreements, therefore, prices are renegotiated after a certain period or if raw material prices have changed significantly.
V okviru teh dogovorov se cene po določenem obdobju ali v primeru znatne spremembe cen surovin ponovno določijo.
Therefore, this argument is dismissed.
Zato se ta argument zavrne.
In conclusion, the above analysis has demonstrated that imports from the PRC during the period considered provoked a substantial price depression on the Community market throughout that period.
Zgornja analiza je torej pokazala, da je uvoz iz LRK v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju povzročil znatno znižanje cen na trgu Skupnosti.
During the IP, import prices from the PRC significantly undercut the Community industry prices.
V OP so uvozne cene iz LRK znatno nelojalno nižale cene industrije Skupnosti.
This price depression led to a considerable decrease in the sales prices of the Community industry, which in its turn coincided with a strong drop in the Community industry’s profitability, its return on investments and its cash flow from operating activities.
To znižanje cen je povzročilo znatno znižanje prodajnih cen industrije Skupnosti, kar je posledično sovpadlo z močnim padcem dobičkonosnosti industrije Skupnosti, donosnosti njenih naložb in denarnega toka.
Based on the above analysis which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports originating in the country concerned have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgornje analize, ki je učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov, ki so vplivali na stanje industrije Skupnosti, pravilno opredelila in ločila od škodljivega učinka dampinškega uvoza, se začasno sklene, da je dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil znatno škodo industriji Skupnosti v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
For this purpose, and pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission considered the likely impact of measures for all parties concerned.
V ta namen in v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je Komisija proučila možni vpliv ukrepov za vse zadevne stranke.
As indicated in recital 56, the Community industry is composed of two companies, with production facilities in Germany and Spain, which employs in the range of 200 to 300 persons directly involved in the production, sales and administration of the like product.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 56 zgoraj, industrijo Skupnosti predstavljata samo dve družbi s proizvodnimi enotami v Nemčiji in Španiji, ki zaposlujejo okvirno 200 do 300 oseb, neposredno povezanih s proizvodnjo, prodajo in upravljanjem z enakim proizvodom.
If measures are imposed, it is expected that the price depression on the Community market will come to an end and that sales prices of the Community industry will start to recover, as a consequence of which the financial situation of the Community industry will improve.
V primeru uvedbe ukrepov se pričakuje, da se bo padanje cen na trgu Skupnosti ustavilo in da se bodo prodajne cene industrije Skupnosti izboljšale, kar bo povzročilo izboljšanje finančnega stanja industrije Skupnosti.
On the other hand, should anti-dumping measures not be imposed, it is likely that the negative trend in the development of the Community industry's financial indicators, and notably its profitability, will continue.
Na drugi strani pa je v primeru neuvedbe protidampinških ukrepov verjetno, da se bo negativni trend v razvoju finančnih kazalnikov industrije Skupnosti in zlasti njene dobičkonosnosti nadaljeval.
The Community industry will then lose significant market share as it will no longer be able to follow the market prices set by imports from the PRC.
Tako bo industrija Skupnosti izgubila znaten tržni delež, saj ne bo več mogla slediti tržnim cenam, ki jih bo določal uvoz iz LRK.
At worst, the Community industry would be forced to step out of the free market and continue production of PVA for captive use only.
V najslabšem primeru bo industrija Skupnosti prisiljena izstopiti iz prostega trga in nadaljevati s proizvodnjo PVA izključno za lastno uporabo.
In both cases, cuts in production and investments, closure of certain production capacities and job reductions in the Community will be a likely result.
V obeh primerih bo pričakovani rezultat zmanjšanje proizvodnje in naložb, ukinitev nekaterih proizvodnih zmogljivosti in ukinitev delovnih mest v Skupnosti.
As described in recital 8, five sampled importers sent questionnaire replies and they accounted for around 80 % of Community imports of the product concerned during the IP.
Kakor je opisano v uvodni izjavi 8, je pet vzorčenih uvoznikov poslalo izpolnjene vprašalnike; ti so v obravnavanem obdobju predstavljali približno 80 % uvoza zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost.
The information submitted by one of the sampled importers had to disregarded at this stage as it cancelled twice an agreed verification visit.
Podatki, ki jih je predložil en vzorčen proizvajalec, se v tej fazi niso mogli upoštevati, ker je dvakrat odpovedal preveritveni obisk.
Three of the questionnaire replies were verified on the spot.
Trije izpolnjeni vprašalniki so bili preverjeni na kraju samem.
The overall weight represented by PVA in the total turnover of these importers' activities was very small.
Celotni delež, ki ga predstavlja PVA v skupnem prometu dejavnosti teh uvoznikov, je bil zelo majhen.
On an average basis, 3 % to 4 % of these importers' activities could be linked to imports of PVA from the PRC.
V povprečju bi lahko 3–4 % dejavnosti teh uvoznikov povezali z uvozom PVA iz LRK.
The importers have a much broader field of activities which can also include general trading and distribution.
Uvozniki imajo precej širši obseg dejavnosti, ki lahko vključujejo tudi splošno trgovanje in distribucijo.
Certain importers purchase the product under investigation not only from the PRC but also from other sources in and outside the Community, including from the Community industry.
Nekateri uvozniki nabavljajo izdelek v preiskavi ne samo v LRK, ampak tudi iz drugih virov v Skupnosti in zunaj nje, vključno z industrijo Skupnosti.
The average profit margin attained by the sampled importers, on their trading of PVA, is around 5 %.
Povprečna stopnja dobička vzorčenih uvoznikov pri trgovanju s PVA je približno 5 %.
Importers in the Community are not in favour of the imposition of measures.
Uvozniki v Skupnosti ne podpirajo uvedbe ukrepov.
The cooperating importers argued that the imposition of measures would seriously harm their operations, as they would not be able to pass on the price increase to users.
Sodelujoči uvozniki so trdili, da bi uvedba ukrepov resno škodovala njihovemu poslovanju, ker ne bi mogli prenesti zvišanja cen na uporabnike.
In this respect, the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on imports from the PRC, as explained in recital 111, will most likely lead to a slightly upwards correction of market prices.
V tem smislu bo uvedba protidampinške dajatve na uvoz iz LRK, kakor je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 111, najverjetneje povzročila manjši popravek tržnih cen navzgor.
Therefore, it can be expected that importers which buy the product concerned from the PRC will be able to pass on these duty costs to the final customer.
Zato se lahko pričakuje, da bodo uvozniki, ki kupujejo zadevni izdelek od LRK, lahko prenesli stroške dajatve na končno stranko.
The significant undercutting still found after adjustment of the cif Community border prices for post-importation costs also suggests that there is room for a price increase.
Znatno nelojalno nižanje cen, ki je bilo ugotovljeno celo po prilagoditvi cen CIF meja Skupnosti za stroške po uvozu, kaže tudi na to, da obstajajo možnosti za dvig cen.
In any event, in view of the limited weight of sales of this product in the importers' activities, and the profit margin currently attained both overall and in view of their sales of PVA only, it is expected that the duty as provisionally established will not affect the financial situation of these economic operators to a significant extent.
Glede na omejeni pomen prodaje tega izdelka za dejavnosti uvoznikov in glede na zdaj doseženo stopnjo dobička tako v celoti kot samo z vidika njihove prodaje PVA, se pričakuje, da začasna dajatev ne bo bistveno vplivala na finančno stanje teh gospodarskih subjektov.
Although importers/distributors are not in favour of measures, it can be concluded on the basis of the information available that any advantage they may gain from not having anti-dumping measures imposed is outweighed by the interest of the Community industry in having the effect of unfair and injurious trading practices from the PRC neutralised.
Čeprav uvozniki/distributerji ne podpirajo ukrepov, se lahko na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij sklene, da nad vsako prednostjo, ki jo lahko ti pridobijo z neuvedbo protidampinških dajatev, prevlada interes industrije Skupnosti, da nevtralizira učinek nepoštenih in škodljivih trgovinskih praks LRK.
Seven users filled in a users' questionnaire.
Sedem uporabnikov je izpolnilo vprašalnik.
The replies of two of these companies were incomplete and they therefore could not be included in the analysis.
Dve od teh družb sta nepravilno izpolnili vprašalnik in ju zato ni bilo mogoče vključiti v analizo.
The five remaining companies were using PVA for a variety of applications: for the production of adhesives, the production of industrial powders, the production of PVB, textile sizing and finishing, and resin production.
Pet ostalih družb je uporabljalo PVA za različne namene: za proizvodnjo lepil, industrijskega prahu, PVB, škrobljenje in plemenitenje tekstila ter smole.
Further to information on purchases reported in their responses to the questionnaires, the purchases during the IP of the five cooperating users represented about 19 % of total Community consumption of PVA and their Chinese imports represented about 22 % of total imports from the PRC.
K informacijam o nabavah, o katerih so poročali v svojih odgovorih, je treba še dodati, da so nabave petih sodelujočih uporabnikov v OP predstavljale 19 % celotne potrošnje PVA v Skupnosti, njihovi kitajski uvozi pa približno 22 % celotnega uvoza iz LRK.
It is important to note that imports from the PRC represent, overall, the minor part of their purchases, i.e. 15 %.
Treba je opozoriti, da uvoz iz LRK v celoti predstavlja manjši del njihovih nabav, tj. 15 %.
