It was also alleged that the volumes and the prices of the imported product concerned have continued, among other consequences, to have a negative impact on the level of prices charged by the Community industry, resulting in substantial adverse effects on its financial situation and its employment.
Trdilo se je tudi, da so obseg in cene zadevnega uvoženega izdelka med drugim še naprej negativno vplivali na raven cen, ki jih zaračunava industrija Skupnosti, kar je bistveno škodilo njenemu finančnemu stanju in zaposlovanju.
Furthermore, the applicant pointed out that during the period of imposition of measures, the exporters/producers of the product concerned from the People’s Republic of China has undermined the existing measures by circumvention practices, which have been counteracted by the extension of measures as enacted by Council Regulation (EC) No 2272/2004 and Council Regulation (EC) No 1650/2006.
Poleg tega je vložnik poudaril, da so se v obdobju uvedbe ukrepov izvozniki/proizvajalci zadevnega izdelka iz Ljudske republike Kitajske izogibali obstoječim ukrepom in tako zmanjšali njihov učinek, proti čemur sta bili sprejeti Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 2272/2004 in Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 1650/2006, s katerima so bili ukrepi razširjeni.
Having determined, after consultation of the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission initiated an investigation pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union [6].
Komisija je po posvetovanju s svetovalnim odborom ocenila, da obstajajo zadostni dokazi za začetek pregleda zaradi izteka veljavnosti ukrepov, in v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [6] objavila obvestilo o začetku preiskave v skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe.
The review investigation period (RIP) for the examination of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 April 2006 to 31 March 2007.
Obdobje preiskave v zvezi s pregledom (OPP) za preučitev verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve dampinga in škode je zajelo obdobje od 1. aprila 2006 do 31. marca 2007.
The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of continuation or recurrence of injury covered the period from 1 January 2003 up to the end of the RIP (period under review).
Preučevanje gibanj, pomembnih za oceno verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve škode, je zajelo obdobje od 1. januarja 2003 do konca OPP (v nadaljnjem besedilu „obdobje pregleda“).
The Commission officially advised the applicant Community producer, the exporting producers in the PRC and their representatives, the Chinese authorities and the importers, users and associations known to be concerned, of the initiation of the review.
Komisija je o začetku pregleda uradno obvestila vložnika proizvajalca Skupnosti, proizvajalce izvoznike iz LRK in njihove zastopnike, kitajske organe ter uvoznike, uporabnike in združenja, za katere je bilo znano, da jih pregled zadeva.
The Commission sent questionnaires to exporting producers, a producer in India (analogue country as mentioned at recital (26)), the sole Community producer, known importers and users and to those parties which made themselves known within the time limit set in the notice of initiation of the review.
Komisija je vprašalnike poslala proizvajalcem izvoznikom, proizvajalcu iz Indije (primerljiva država, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 26), edinemu proizvajalcu Skupnosti, znanim uvoznikom, uporabnikom in strankam, ki so se javile v roku, določenem v obvestilu o začetku pregleda.
Sampling for exporters/producers in the People’s Republic of China
Vzorčenje za izvoznike/proizvajalce v Ljudski republiki Kitajski
In view of the apparent number of exporting producers involved in this proceeding, the use of sampling techniques was envisaged in the notice of initiation in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.
Glede na pričakovano veliko število proizvajalcev izvoznikov, vključenih v postopek, je bilo v obvestilu o začetku predvidena uporaba vzorčenja v skladu s členom 17 osnovne uredbe.
In order to decide whether sampling would be necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all exporting producers were asked to make themselves known and to provide, as specified in the notice of initiation, basic information on their activities related to coumarin during the investigation period.
Za odločitev o tem, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in v tem primeru izbiro vzorca, so bili vsi proizvajalci izvozniki pozvani, da se javijo in predložijo, kot je bilo določeno v obvestilu o začetku, osnovne podatke o svojih dejavnostih v zvezi s kumarinom v obdobju preiskave.
Two companies in the People’s Republic of China replied to the sampling questionnaire but only one indicated its willingness to cooperate and replied to the dumping questionnaire, as follows:
Dve družbi iz Ljudske republike Kitajske sta poslali izpolnjen vprašalnik za vzorčenje, vendar je le ena izrazila pripravljenost na sodelovanje in poslala izpolnjeni vprašalnik o dampingu, kot sledi:
The Community producer and four importers/users replied to the questionnaires.
Izpolnjene vprašalnike so poslali proizvajalec Skupnosti in štirje uvozniki/uporabniki.
With respect to the analogue country, the Indian producer contacted by the Commission services refused to cooperate.
Indijski proizvajalec, torej proizvajalec iz primerljive države, s katerim so službe Komisije stopile v stik, je sodelovanje zavrnil.
Verification of information received
Preverjanje prejetih informacij
The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of the determination of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury and of Community interest.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, za katere je menila, da so potrebne za ugotavljanje verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovnega pojava dampinga, škode in interesa Skupnosti.
The Commission also gave the parties directly concerned the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing.
Komisija je dala vsem neposredno zadevnim strankam tudi možnost, da pisno izrazijo svoja stališča in zaprosijo za zaslišanje.

The product concerned is the same as in the original investigation, i.e. coumarin, a whitish crystalline powder with the characteristic odour of newly mown hay.
Zadevni izdelek je isti kot v prvotni preiskavi, torej kumarin, belkast kristalinični prah z značilnim vonjem sveže pokošenega sena.
Its main uses are as an aroma chemical and as a fixative in the preparation of fragrance compounds, such compounds being used in the production of detergents, cosmetics and fine fragrances.
Uporablja se predvsem kot aromat in kot fiksativ pri izdelavi dišav, le-te pa se uporabljajo pri proizvodnji pralnih sredstev, kozmetike in parfumov.
Coumarin, which was originally a natural product obtained from Tonka beans, is now produced synthetically.
Kumarin je bil prvotno naravni izdelek, ki se je pridobival iz tonka fižola, danes pa se proizvaja sintetično.
It can be obtained by a synthesis process starting from phenol to obtain salicilaldehyde (Perkin reaction) or by a synthesis from orthocresol (Raschig reaction).
Pridobiva se lahko s sintezo na osnovi fenola, iz katerega se pridobi salicilaldehid (Perkinova reakcija), ali s sintezo iz ortokrezola (Raschigova reakcija).
The main physical specification of coumarin is its purity, of which the melting point is the indicator.
Najpomembnejša fizikalna specifikacija kumarina je njegova čistost, katere je indikator njegovo tališče.
The standard quality coumarin marketed in the Community has a melting point varying between 68 °C and 70 °C which corresponds to 99 % purity.
Tališče kumarina standardne kakovosti, ki se prodaja v Skupnosti, je med 68 °C in 70 °C, kar ustreza čistosti 99 %.
The product concerned falls within CN code ex29322100.
Zadevni izdelek spada pod oznako KN ex29322100.
As in the original investigation, coumarin exported to the Community from the PRC as well as coumarin produced and sold by the Community industry in the Community market were found to have effectively identical physical characteristics and uses and are thus like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Tako kot v prvotni preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da imajo kumarin, ki se izvaža v Skupnost iz LRK, ter kumarin, ki ga industrija Skupnosti proizvaja in prodaja na trgu Skupnosti, dejansko enake fizikalne lastnosti in uporabo ter so zato podobni izdelki v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether dumping was currently taking place and whether or not the expiry of the measures would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo preučeno, ali je damping trenutno prisoten in ali obstaja verjetnost, da se bo zaradi izteka veljavnosti ukrepov nadaljeval ali ponovil.
In accordance with Article 11(9) of the basic Regulation, the same methodology was used as in the original investigation.
V skladu s členom 11(9) osnovne uredbe je bila uporabljena ista metodologija kot pri prvotni preiskavi.
As an expiry review does not provide for any examination of changed circumstances, it was not reconsidered whether producers were entitled to market economy treatment (‘MET’).
Pregled zaradi izteka ukrepov ne določa preučitve spremenjenih okoliščin, zato ni bilo ponovno preučeno, ali so bili proizvajalci upravičeni do tržnogospodarske obravnave (TGO).
Statistical data showed that about 214 tonnes were imported to the EU from all sources, out of which about 137 tonnes originated in China, representing around 20 % of EU consumption.
Statistični podatki so pokazali, da je bilo v EU iz vseh virov uvoženih približno 214 ton, od katerih je bilo 137 ton s poreklom iz Kitajske, kar predstavlja približno 20 % potrošnje EU.
Sampling (exporters) and cooperation
Vzorčenje (izvozniki) in sodelovanje
It is recalled that, in the previous investigation, the results of which were published in May 2002, there was no cooperation from Chinese exporting producers and none were awarded MET or IT.
Opominja se, da v prejšnji preiskavi, katere rezultati so bili objavljeni maja 2002, kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso sodelovali in nobenemu ni bila odobrena TGO ali IO.
Sampling forms were sent out to 21 potential producers/exporters in the PRC but only two companies responded, only one of which cooperated with the investigation by completing a questionnaire response; sampling, therefore, was not warranted.
Obrazci za vzorčenje so bili poslani 21 možnim proizvajalcem/izvoznikom v LRK, vendar sta se odzvali le dve družbi, od katerih je le ena pri preiskavi sodelovala tako, da je poslala izpolnjen vprašalnik; zato vzorčenje ni bilo upravičeno.
This single response covered around 5 % of Chinese imports in the RIP.
Edina družba, ki se je odzvala, je zajemala le 5 % kitajskega uvoza v OPP.
In terms of capacity this cooperator possessed around 17 % of total Chinese capacity.
Ta sodelujoča družba je pomenila 17 % celotne kitajske zmogljivosti.
In light of this very low level of cooperation and the limited representativeness of one company of the Chinese market and production, it was determined that no reliable information on imports of the product concerned to the Community during the RIP could be gathered directly from the exporting producers.
Glede na zelo nizko raven sodelovanja in omejeno reprezentativnost ene družbe za kitajski trg in proizvodnjo, je bilo ugotovljeno, da neposredno od proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni bilo mogoče dobiti zanesljivih informacij o uvozu zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost med OPP.
Under these circumstances, and in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the Commission resorted to the use of the facts available, i.e. CN code data.
V teh okoliščinah in v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe se je Komisija odločila, da uporabi razpoložljiva dejstva, tj. podatke oznak KN.
Nevertheless, the information in the single questionnaire response was used to the extent possible to cross check the results based on the data available pursuant to Article 18.
Vendar so bile informacije iz edinega izpolnjenega vprašalnika, kolikor je bilo to mogoče, uporabljene za navzkrižno preverjanje rezultatov na podlagi razpoložljivih podatkov v skladu s členom 18.
It was established that the CN code data were the best facts available for most of the aspects of this investigation.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so bile oznake KN najboljša razpoložljiva dejstva za večino vidikov te preiskave.
TARIC data and data collected under Article 14(6) of the basic Regulation confirmed the accuracy of the CN code figures.
Podatki TARIC in podatki, zbrani v skladu s členom 14(6) osnovne uredbe, so potrdili natančnost podatkov oznak KN.
Wherever warranted, export price data from cooperating producers and Chinese export statistics available to the Commission (which also included products other than the product concerned) used as a complement.
Kadar je bilo to utemeljeno, so se kot dopolnitev uporabili tudi izvozni podatki sodelujočih proizvajalcev in kitajska izvozna statistika, ki so bili na voljo Komisiji (in so poleg zadevnega izdelka zajemali tudi druge izdelke).
Coumarin is a fragrance produced in only a few countries around the world and therefore the choice for an analogue country was extremely limited.
Kumarin je dišava, ki se proizvaja le v nekaj državah po svetu, zato je izbira primerljive države izjemno omejena.
According to the information available to the investigation, the only producing countries during the RIP were France, China and India.
V skladu z informacijami, ki so bile preiskavi na voljo, so ga med OPP proizvajale le Francija, Kitajska in Indija.
The USA was used in the previous review investigation but the company had since ceased its production.
V prejšnji preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom so bile uporabljene tudi ZDA, vendar je družba od takrat svojo proizvodnjo ustavila.
India was suggested in the Notice of Initiation but no Indian producer agreed to cooperate.
V obvestilu o začetku je bila predlagana Indija, vendar se noben indijski proizvajalce ni strinjal s sodelovanjem.
In light of these findings the normal value had to be established ‘on any other reasonable basis’ in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.
Glede na te ugotovitve je bilo treba normalno vrednost določiti na „kateri koli drugi razumni osnovi“ v skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe.
The Community industry data was considered reasonable for such a purpose.
Podatki industrije Skupnosti so se za ta namen šteli kot razumna osnova.
Dumping during the review investigation period
Damping v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom
For the reasons explained at recital (23), dumping margins were calculated using CN code data which were cross-checked with the information received from the sole cooperating Chinese exporting producer.
Iz razlogov, pojasnjenih v uvodni izjavi 23, so bile stopnje dampinga izračunane z uporabo podatkov oznak KN, ki so bile navzkrižno preverjene z informacijami, ki jih je poslal edini kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik.
The export prices of the imports from China were adjusted to ensure that they were on a comparable basis to the normal value.
Izvozne cene uvoza iz Kitajske so bile prilagojene, da bi se zagotovila primerjalna osnova normalni vrednosti.
These adjustments ensured that the calculations were made on the ex works basis and the difference between the export price and the normal value was expressed as a percentage of the CIF export price.
Te prilagoditve so zagotovile, da so bili izračuni narejeni na podlagi franko tovarna, razlika med izvozno ceno in normalno vrednostjo pa je bila izražena kot odstotek izvozne cene CIF.
On this basis, the margin of dumping was around 45 % during the RIP.
Na tej podlagi je bila stopnja dampinga v OPP približno 45 %.
Price comparisons
Primerjava cen
It was clear that should the measures be allowed to lapse that there was a clear incentive for the Chinese exporters to sell high volumes on the very large EU market.
Jasno je bilo, da bi ukinitev ukrepov kitajske izvoznike nedvomno spodbudila k prodaji znatnih količin na ogromnem trgu EU.
This conclusion is based on the following information calculated during the investigation:
Ta ugotovitev temelji na naslednjih informacijah, izračunanih med preiskavo:
Chinese domestic prices in the RIP were around 25 % lower than those on the EU market;
kitajske domače cene v OPP so bile približno 25 % nižje od cen na trgu EU;
the Chinese producers sell most of their production on export markets because their domestic market is not large enough to absorb all their production and because domestic prices are similar to those achievable in third country markets;
kitajski proizvajalci večino svoje proizvodnje prodajo na izvoznih trgih, ker njihov domači trg ni dovolj velik, da bi absorbiral njihovo celotno proizvodnjo in ker so domače cene podobne tistim, ki jih lahko dosežejo na trgih tretjih držav;
Community market prices were higher than the export prices to third countries achieved by the Chinese exporting producers, which would signal that dumping exists also in other third country markets and that there would be a significant incentive for producers in the PRC to re-direct their exports to the Community.
cene na trgu Skupnosti so bile višje od izvoznih cen v tretje države, ki so jih dosegli kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, kar pomeni, da do dampinga prihaja tudi na trgih drugih tretjih držav in da bi ukinitev ukrepov pomenila znatno spodbudo za proizvajalce v LRK, da svoj izvoz preusmerijo v Skupnost.
Unused capacity and stocks in the PRC
Neizkoriščene zmogljivosti in zaloge v LRK
In the previous investigation which concluded in May 2002, it was established that there was an enormous availability of unused Chinese production capacity (between 50 % and 60 % of production capacity).
V prejšnji preiskavi, zaključeni maja 2002, je bil ugotovljen izredno velik delež neizkoriščenih kitajskih proizvodnih zmogljivosti (med 50 % in 60 % proizvodnih zmogljivosti).
Due to the low cooperation rate of the Chinese exporting producers very little information was made available to the investigation concerning current unused capacity and stocks in the PRC.
Zaradi nizke ravni sodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je bilo v preiskavi na voljo izredno malo informacij glede trenutnih neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti in zalog v LRK.
However, according to its questionnaire response, the sole cooperator had substantial unused capacity.
Po podatkih iz izpolnjenega vprašalnika pa je bila neizkoriščena zmogljivost edinega proizvajalca znatna.
This producer had around 500 tonnes in stock at the end of the RIP, which represented more than 70 % of the EU market in the RIP.
Navedeni proizvajalec je imel na koncu OPP približno 500 ton zalog, kar je pomenilo več kot 70 % trga EU v OPP.
Bearing in mind that this producer only represents between 15-20 % of the Chinese production capacity it is likely that even higher stocks are available to penetrate the EU market should measures be repealed.
Če upoštevamo, da navedeni proizvajalec predstavlja le 15–20 % kitajske proizvodne zmogljivosti, je verjetno, da bi imel v primeru ukinitve ukrepov na voljo še večje zaloge za prodor na trg EU.
Possible absorption capacity of third country markets or home market of PRC
Možna absorpcijska sposobnost trgov tretjih držav ali domačega trga LRK
Bearing in mind the above price comparisons and availability of unused capacity and stocks it cannot be argued that Chinese production will be absorbed by third country markets and the Chinese domestic market.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedene primerjave cen in razpoložljivosti neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti ter zalog ni mogoče trditi, da bodo kitajsko proizvodnjo absorbirali trgi tretjih držav in kitajski domači trg.
This is because consumption on the third country markets has remained relatively stable over the past 10 years and is expected to remain stable in the future.
Razlog je v tem, da je potrošnja na trgih tretjih držav v zadnjih 10 letih ostala razmeroma nespremenjena in bo po pričakovanjih ostala stabilna tudi v prihodnosti.
Bearing this in mind it is evident that the Chinese producers are likely to need to continue to export to the Community.
Tako je jasno, da bodo kitajski proizvajalci verjetno še naprej potrebovali izvoz v Skupnost.
This is due to the fact that the EU market is one of the most attractive in the world bearing in mind its size and the relatively high prices that can be achieved.
To pa zato, ker je trg EU eden najprivlačnejših trgov na svetu glede na velikost in razmeroma visoke cene, ki jih je mogoče doseči.
If measures are repealed, it is clear that even larger volumes of dumped imports would be re-directed into the EU market.
Če se ukrepi ukinejo, bodo na trg EU nedvomno preusmerjene celo večje količine dampinškega uvoza.
As mentioned in recital (1), the measures under review have been extended to India, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia as a result of a circumvention investigation.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 1, so bili ukrepi, ki se pregledujejo, razširjeni na Indijo, Tajsko, Malezijo in Indonezijo, kar je bil rezultat preiskave o izogibanju.
This indicates the strong interest of the Chinese producers to enter the Community market and their willingness to do so even when anti-dumping measures are in place.
To kaže na velik interes kitajskih proizvajalcev za vstop na trg Skupnosti in njihovo pripravljenost, da to storijo kljub veljavnim protidampinškim ukrepom.
The existence of the circumvention practices therefore support the conclusion that there is a strong likelihood that greater levels of dumped imports would return to the Community market should the measures be repealed.
Obstoj izogibanja torej podpira ugotovitev, da obstaja velika verjetnost, da se bodo v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov na trgu Skupnosti ponovno pojavile višje količine dampinškega uvoza.
Conclusion on the likelihood of a continuation and/or recurrence of dumping
Sklepna ugotovitev o verjetnosti nadaljevanja in/ali ponovitve dampinga
On the basis of the above, it is concluded that dumping is likely to continue should measures be repealed.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se sklene, da bi se v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov damping verjetno nadaljeval.
The company represented by the applicant was the only producer of coumarin in the Community during the investigation period.
Podjetje, ki ga je zastopal vložnik, je bilo v obdobju preiskave edini proizvajalec kumarina v Skupnosti.
This Community producer is therefore deemed to constitute the Community industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Ta proizvajalec Skupnosti zato predstavlja industrijo Skupnosti v smislu člena 4(1) in člena 5(4) osnovne uredbe.
ANALYSIS OF THE SITUATION IN THE COMMUNITY
ANALIZA POLOŽAJA NA TRGU SKUPNOSTI
Community consumption [7]
Potrošnja Skupnosti [7]
The product under review constitutes a part of a single CN Code.
Izdelek, ki se pregleduje, je del enotne oznake KN.
In order to establish the volume of products within this CN code which are not the product concerned the Commission services compared CN data with other available statistical sources as mentioned in recital (23).
Za določitev obsega izdelkov znotraj te oznake KN, ki niso zadevni izdelek, so službe Komisije primerjale podatke KN z drugimi razpoložljivimi statističnimi viri, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 23.
This comparison showed that almost 100 % of the products imported under this code were in fact the product concerned.
Primerjava je pokazala, da skoraj 100 % izdelkov, uvoženih pod to oznako, dejansko pomeni zadevni izdelek.
The Community consumption was therefore established in adding the full CN Code data for the imports into the European Community to the sales volumes of the Community industry on the Community market as reported in the questionnaire reply.
Za določitev potrošnje Skupnosti se je zato k obsegu prodaje industrije Skupnosti trgu Skupnosti po podatkih iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov prištelo podatke celotne oznake KN za uvoz v Evropsko skupnost.
