natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
These figures show that the increase of imports of finished goods from the PRC since 2005 has not prevented the Community users of PSF from expanding and selling their goods to retailers and maintaining their profit margin.
Te številke kažejo, da povečanje uvoza dokončanih izdelkov iz LRK od leta 2005 uporabnikom RVP v Skupnosti ni preprečilo razširitve in prodaje njihovih izdelkov trgovcem na drobno ter ohranitve njihove stopnje dobička.
As regards the possible impact on final prices paid by consumers, no argument has been put forward in this respect whereas in the previous investigation it was concluded that the imposition of new duties that could reach almost 30 % could have had an impact on consumers.
Glede možnega vpliva na končne cene, ki jih plačujejo potrošniki, ni bila predložena nobena utemeljitev v zvezi s tem, ali je bilo v prejšnji preiskavi sklenjeno, da bi lahko uvedba novih dajatev, ki bi lahko dosegle skoraj 30 %, vplivala na potrošnike.
The users in favour of termination have also argued that prices of PSF are increasing within the Community despite a falling dollar.
Uporabniki, ki podpirajo ukinitev, tudi trdijo, da se cene RVP v Skupnosti višajo kljub padanju vrednosti dolarja.
This statement does not correspond to the data obtained by the Commission during the investigation.
Ta izjava se ne ujema s podatki, ki jih je Komisija pridobila med preiskavo.
Although the price of PSF rose sharply in 2005, it has remained stable afterwards as shown in Table 7 for PSF produced and sold within the Community and in the Table 14 for imported PSF [15]:
Čeprav se je cena RVP leta 2005 močno zvišala, je potem ostala nespremenjena, kot prikazuje tabela 7 za RVP, proizvedena in prodana znotraj Skupnosti, in tabela 14 za uvožena RVP [15]:
quarter 2008
četrtletje 2008
Having regard to the above, the existing measures do not appear to have had an overwhelming impact on the costs and profitability of the user companies.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega se zdi, da obstoječi ukrepi niso zelo močno vplivali na stroške in donosnost podjetij uporabnikov.
Second, the users which are against the imposition of measures indicate that there is a substantial difference in the level of employment in the Community between the sector concerning production of PSF (around 3000 people) and the downstream industry (allegedly 70000 people).
Uporabniki, ki nasprotujejo uvedbi ukrepov, navajajo, da je v Skupnosti velika razlika v stopnji zaposlenosti med sektorjem proizvodnje RVP (približno 3000 ljudi) in industrijo na koncu proizvodne verige (domnevno 70000 ljudi).
As regards this claim, although the figure of 70000 people seems to be exaggerated, it cannot be denied that the user industry is more labour intensive than the producer industry.
Čeprav se številka 70000 ljudi v zvezi s to trditvijo zdi pretirana, ni mogoče zanikati, da je predelovalna industrija bolj delovno intenzivna od proizvodne industrije.
Given the limited level of full cooperation among users (figures for jobs have only been supplied by users accounting for 12 % of total Community consumption of PSF) it has not been possible for the Commission to obtain accurate data on employment.
Zaradi omejenega sodelovanja med uporabniki (številke o delovnih mestih so predložili le uporabniki, ki predstavljajo 12 % skupne porabe RVP v Skupnosti) Komisija ni mogla pridobiti natančnih podatkov o zaposlitvi.
Nevertheless in Table 15 it is shown that users that have fully cooperated in the investigation employ 5009 people.
Kljub temu tabela 15 prikazuje, da uporabniki, ki so v preiskavi v celoti sodelovali, zaposlujejo 5009 ljudi.
This would indicate that at least 40000-45000 people would be involved in the production of goods incorporating PSF.
To kaže, da je v proizvodnjo blaga, ki vsebuje RVP, vključenih najmanj 40000–45000 ljudi.
The table below also contains indications on how employment has evolved among cooperating users:
Tabela spodaj prikazuje tudi razvoj zaposlenosti med sodelujočimi uporabniki:
Although the number of companies that have cooperated is limited, it can nonetheless be concluded that the existing anti-dumping duties have not prevented employment from significantly growing during the period considered.
Kljub omejenemu številu podjetij, ki so sodelovala, je mogoče skleniti, da obstoječe protidampinške dajatve niso preprečile velike rasti zaposlovanja v obravnavanem obdobju.
Accordingly this users’ argument is rejected.
V skladu s tem se ta utemeljitev uporabnikov zavrne.
Of course, the situation was different in the previous investigation where the imposition of additional anti-dumping duties that could reach 30 % could have led to job losses in the users’ sector.
Seveda so bile v prejšnji preiskavi razmere drugačne, ko bi uvedba dodatnih protidampinških dajatev, ki bi lahko dosegle 30 %, povzročila izgubo delovnih mest v sektorju uporabnikov.
Third, the users mentioned in this section point out that there is a growing demand in the non-woven and filling sectors of two special types of PSF: HCS and LMP (as mentioned in recital (20)) and for which there is limited production in the Community whereas the PRC and Korea have large production capacities.
Uporabniki, navedeni v tem oddelku, prav tako opozarjajo na vedno večje povpraševanje v sektorjih netkane in polnilne uporabe po dveh posebnih vrstah RVP: HCS in LMP (kot sta omenjeni v uvodni izjavi 20), proizvodnja katerih je v Skupnosti omejena, medtem ko imata LRK in Koreja velike proizvodnje zmogljivosti.
In this respect, according to best estimates of the Commission in the light of the information put forward by interested parties, total consumption of LMP in the Community during the RIP is in the range of 85000-90000 tonnes and total consumption of HCS is in the range of 65000-70000 tonnes.
V zvezi s tem je v skladu z najboljšimi ocenami Komisije, ob upoštevanju informacij, ki so jih predložile zainteresirane stranke, skupna poraba LMP v Skupnosti v OPP v razponu od 85000 do 90000 ton, skupna poraba HCS pa v razponu od 65000 do 70000 ton.
The Community industry is currently supplying 2155 tons of LMP and 21543 tons of HCS.
Industrija Skupnosti zdaj dobavlja 2155 ton LMP in 21543 ton HCS.
The demand of these types of PSF is continuously growing and, according to a users’ association, there will be a 6 % annual increase for both types in the coming years.
Povpraševanje po teh dveh vrstah RVP stalno narašča, po mnenju združenja uporabnikov pa je za obe vrsti v prihodnjih letih pričakovati 6 % letno povečanje.
Community producers of PSF claim that production of these ‘specialties’ in the Community is limited because the existing level of dumped prices do not allow them to increase production.
Proizvajalci RVP v Skupnosti trdijo, da je proizvodnja teh dveh posebnih vrst v Skupnosti omejena, ker obstoječa raven dampinških cen preprečuje povečanje proizvodnje.
According to the data collected in the present investigation capacities for HCS and LMP in the Community industry during the period considered have evolved as follows:
Glede na podatke, zbrane v sedanji preiskavi, je razvoj zmogljivosti HCS in LMP v industriji Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju naslednji:
Capacity Community industry LMP
Zmogljivost industrije Skupnosti za LMP
This table shows that the Community industry would be in a position to cover 88-95 % of total demand of HCS and around 37 % of total demand for LMP in case prices would reach a certain level.
Ta tabela kaže, da bo lahko industrija Skupnosti zadovoljila 88–95 % celotnega povpraševanja po HCS in približno 37 % skupnega povpraševanja po LMP, če bodo cene dosegle določeno raven.
Moreover, even if the Community industry produces limited quantities of these ‘specialties’, users are able to source them from Korea and the PRC with limited anti-dumping duties (only 5,7 % from Huvis in Korea and 4,9 % from Far Eastern in the PRC).
Tudi če industrija Skupnosti proizvede omejeno količino teh posebnih vrst, jih lahko uporabniki pridobijo iz Koreje in LRK z omejenimi protidampinškimi dajatvami (le 5,7 % pri družbi Huvis v Koreji in 4,9 % pri družbi Far Eastern v LRK).
As far as the possibility to source from Taiwan is concerned, it has been claimed that production of PSF in Taiwan is decreasing and this will lead to price increases or shortages of supply and if it is to be substituted by imports from the PRC and Korea, the cost impact of the duties paid for these ‘specialties’ imported from the PRC and Korea would be significant due to the low profit margin of Community users.
V zvezi z možnostjo pridobivanja iz Tajvana se je trdilo, da proizvodnja RVP v Tajvanu upada, kar bo povzročilo zvišanje cen ali pomanjkanje ponudbe, če pa se nadomesti z uvozom iz LRK in Koreje, bo stroškovni učinek dajatev, plačanih za ti posebni vrsti, uvoženi iz LRK in Koreje, velik zaradi nizke stopnje dobička uporabnikov Skupnosti.
These arguments cannot be accepted.
Teh utemeljitev ni mogoče sprejeti.
On the one hand, even if production of PSF in Taiwan is decreasing, spare capacity is expected to increase (the expected spare capacity for 2008 is around 122000 tons and for 2009150000 tons).
Tudi če proizvodnja rezanih poliestrskih vlaken v Tajvanu upada, je na eni strani pričakovati povečanje prostih zmogljivosti (pričakovane proste zmogljivosti za leto 2008 so približno 122000 ton in za leto 2009 150000 ton).
In conclusion, it is not clear that there would be a structural shortage of these specialties.
Sklenemo lahko, da ni jasno, ali bo prišlo do strukturnega primanjkljaja teh posebnih vrst.
As for prices in these ‘specialties’, there are no official statistics but, as shown in the table below, according to the data supplied by cooperating companies, the price of HCS (including anti-dumping duties) has increased only by 2 % between 2004 and the RIP.
V zvezi s cenami teh posebnih vrst ni uradnih statističnih podatkov, vendar, kot prikazuje tabela spodaj, se je glede na podatke, ki so jih predložila sodelujoča podjetja, cena HCS (vključno s protidampinškimi dajatvami) med letom 2004 in OPP zvišala le za 2 %.
There was even a substantial decrease in price in 2006.
Leta 2006 se je cena celo znatno znižala.
The increase between 2006 and the RIP was in all likelihood due to the imposition during the first semester of 2007 of provisional anti-dumping duties on imports from Taiwan.
Do zvišanja med letom 2006 in OPP je najverjetneje prišlo zaradi uvedbe začasnih protidampinških dajatev na uvoz iz Tajvana v prvem polletju 2007.
As regards LMP, its price has increased by 18 % during the period considered.
Cena LMP pa se je v obravnavanem obdobju zvišala za 18 %.
Price LMP '000 EUR/tonne
Cena LMP '000 EUR/tono
This data has to be analysed in relation to the weight of these specialties on total costs of products incorporating PSF.
Te podatke je treba analizirati v zvezi z vplivom teh posebnih vrst na skupne stroške.
On the basis of the data supplied by the cooperating users, the impact of HCS on their total costs for products incorporating PSF would only account for 1,98 % and the impact of LMP would account for 4,38 %.
Na podlagi podatkov, ki so jih predložili sodelujoči uporabniki, bi učinek HCS na skupne stroške znašal le 1,98 %, učinek LMP pa 4,38 %.
Bearing in mind that the average profitability is around 4 % the impact on total costs linked to these ‘specialties’, in spite of the substantial increase of the price of LMP, is not significant.
Ob upoštevanju, da je povprečna donosnost približno 4 %, je učinek teh posebnih vrst na skupne stroške kljub znatnemu zvišanju cene LMP zanemarljiv.
The situation was different in the previous investigation where the imposition of anti-dumping duties of almost 30 % on imports of LMP and HCS originating in Taiwan and the price increases that this would have entailed for the same products would have had a more significant impact on total costs.
V prejšnji preiskavi so bile razmere drugačne, ko bi uvedba protidampinških dajatev v višini skoraj 30 % na uvoz LMP in HCS iz Tajvana in zvišanje cen teh izdelkov, ki bi ga to povzročilo, znatno bolj vplivala na skupne stroške.
Users against termination
Uporabniki, ki nasprotujejo ukinitvi
Users representing around 6 % of total Community consumption of PSF and 3 % of imports from the countries concerned have pointed out that the termination of measures will jeopardize the profitability of the downstream industry as the bankruptcy of the PSF sector in the EU will lead to increases in PSF prices in two years time and consequently an increase of imports of goods incorporating PSF can be expected.
Uporabniki, ki predstavljajo približno 6 % skupne porabe RVP v Skupnosti in 3 % uvoza iz zadevnih držav, so opozorili, da bo ukinitev ukrepov ogrozila donosnost industrije na koncu proizvodne verige, ker se bodo zaradi stečaja sektorja RVP v EU cene tega izdelka v dveh letih zvišale, posledično pa je mogoče pričakovati povečanje uvoza blaga, ki vsebuje RVP.
In the light of the arguments developed under D.4 above (likelihood of significant imports should measures be repealed), it is not excluded that this could indeed occur, with the associated risks for the maintenance of effective competition.
Ob upoštevanju utemeljitev, obravnavanih v oddelku D.4 (verjetnost velikega obsega uvoza v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov), ni izključeno, da bi se to dejansko lahko zgodilo, skupaj s povezanim tveganjem ohranjanja učinkovite konkurence.
Taking into account all of the above factors, it is concluded that, although most of the users that have participated in the investigation consider that the maintenance of duties is against their interest, the investigation shows that the continuation of measures would not have a significantly negative effect on their economic and financial situation.
Čeprav večina uporabnikov, ki so sodelovali v preiskavi, meni, da je ohranitev dajatev v nasprotju z njihovimi interesi, se ob upoštevanju vseh zgoraj navedenih dejavnikov sklene, da je preiskava pokazala, da nadaljnje izvajanje ukrepov ne bi znatno negativno vplivalo na njihov gospodarski in finančni položaj.
Moreover, contrary to the previous investigation, users have varying views on the impact of a possible termination of existing measures on their business.
Poleg tega imajo uporabniki v nasprotju s prejšnjo preiskavo različna stališča glede učinka morebitne ukinitve obstoječih ukrepov na njihovo poslovanje.
Although, as explained above, most of them have asked the Commission to repeal the anti-dumping duties, among those which have cooperated in the investigation there is also a significant number that is against the termination of duties.
Kot je pojasnjeno, je večina pozvala Komisijo k razveljaviti protidampinških dajatev, kljub temu pa je med uporabniki, ki so sodelovali v preiskavi, tudi veliko število takih, ki nasprotujejo ukinitvi dajatev.
IMPORTERS AND TRADERS
UVOZNIKI IN TRGOVCI
Six importers/traders made submissions in relation to this investigation within the deadline indicated in the Notice of initiation but only three of them (Saehan Europe, GSI Global Service International and Marubeni) have fully cooperated and provided answers to all the questions raised by the Commission.
Podatke v zvezi s to preiskavo je v roku, navedenem v obvestilu o začetku, predložilo 6 uvoznikov/trgovcev, vendar so le trije (Saehan Europe, GSI Global Service International in Marubeni) v celoti sodelovali in odgovorili na vsa vprašanja Komisije.
All are profitable companies and the number of employees related to the import/trade of PSF product is negligible.
Vsi so dobičkonosna podjetja, število zaposlenih, povezanih z uvozom/prodajo RVP, pa je zanemarljivo.
It does not appear that the maintenance of the duties would have any relevant negative impact on their business.
Ne zdi se, da bi ohranitev dajatev kakor koli pomembno negativno vplivala na njihovo poslovanje.
Most of them are of the opinion that it is in their interest to terminate the measures imposed on imports from Korea but not on imports from the PRC because it will entail a huge flow of commodities and the price level will go down as well as their margin.
Večina meni, da je v njihovem interesu, da se ukinejo ukrepi, ki se uporabljajo za uvoz iz Koreje, ne pa tudi za uvoz iz LRK, ker bo to povzročilo močan blagovni tok, hkrati pa se bo znižala raven cen in njihova marža.
On the other hand, according to their views, since Korean unused capacities are more limited than Chinese, they are of the opinion that the impact of the Korean imports on prices will not be to the detriment of their business.
Ker so neizkoriščene zmogljivosti Koreje bolj omejene kot tiste na Kitajskem, pa po drugi strani menijo, da učinek uvoza iz Koreje na cene ne bo škodljivo vplival na njihovo poslovanje.
On this basis, it is concluded that, whether measures are maintained or not, generally speaking, the activity of importers and traders will not be significantly affected.
Na podlagi tega se sklene, da ohranitev ali ukinitev ukrepov na splošno ne bo znatno vplivala na dejavnosti uvoznikov in trgovcev.
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS
DRUGI PREMISLEKI
It has been argued by the Community producers which allegedly produce 56 % of PSF from recycled materials that imports of dumped PSF have adversely affected the profitability of recycling companies; it has also been claimed that 425000 people are employed in the collection of polyethylene terephthalate in order to supply the recycling companies.
Proizvajalci Skupnosti, ki domnevno proizvedejo 56 % RVP iz recikliranih materialov, so navedli, da je uvoz RVP po dampinških cenah negativno vplival na donosnost družb za recikliranje; prav tako je bilo navedeno, da je 425000 ljudi zaposlenih v zbiranju polietilen tereftalata, ki se dobavlja družbam za recikliranje.
In this respect, it has to be pointed out that recyclers of PET bottles were not interested in participating in this investigation in spite of the invitation made in the Notice of initiation and the questionnaires sent to them by the Commission, to which no reply was received.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da izvajalci recikliranja plastenk PET niso hoteli sodelovati v tej preiskavi, kljub povabilu v obvestilu o začetku in vprašalnikom, ki jim jih je poslala Komisija in na katere ni prejela nobenega odgovora.
On the other hand, there is an important and growing demand of recycled PET bottles in Asia and the non-imposition of anti-dumping measures will not preclude PET bottle recyclers from selling their products on the world market.
Na drugi strani pa je prisotno pomembno in vedno večje povpraševanje po recikliranih plastenkah PET v Aziji, neuvedba protidampinških ukrepov pa izvajalcem recikliranja plastenk PET ne bo preprečila prodaje njihovih izdelkov na svetovnem trgu.
Consequently these claims are rejected.
Te trditve se zato zavrnejo.
Moreover, it has been pointed out by Community producers that making polyester staple fibre from recycled materials uses less energy than the chemical process and transport of imported PSF from Asia produces carbon emissions.
Poleg tega so proizvajalci Skupnosti poudarili, da se pri izdelavi rezanih vlaken iz poliestra iz recikliranih materialov porabi manj energije kot pri kemičnem procesu in da prevoz uvoženih RVP iz Azije povzroča emisije ogljika.
Consequently, replacement of Community production by dumped imports, in particular from the PRC and Korea, would increase carbon emissions and set back the EU climate change objectives.
Tako bi nadomestitev proizvodnje Skupnosti z dampinškim uvozom, zlasti iz LRK in Koreje, povečala emisije ogljika in upočasnila doseganje ciljev EU na področju podnebnih sprememb.
In this context it is in any event recalled that the Community interest analysis in anti-dumping proceedings focuses on the economic impact of measures on the economic operators concerned and is not directly related to environmental concerns.
V zvezi s tem je treba v vsakem primeru opozoriti, da se analiza interesov Skupnosti za protidampinške postopke osredotoča na gospodarski učinek ukrepov na zadevne gospodarske subjekte in ne neposredno zadeva okoljskih vprašanj.
No arguments have been put forward regarding Saudi Arabia (or Belarus) which would justify a conclusion that maintaining measures would not be in the Community interest.
Predložene niso bile nobene utemeljitve v zvezi s Saudovo Arabijo (ali Belorusijo), ki bi upravičile sklep, da ohranitev ukrepov ni v interesu Skupnosti.
In the light of the above, it can be concluded that the Community producers of PSF, including the Community industry, are benefiting from the measures in force but are still in a vulnerable situation.
Na podlagi navedenega je mogoče skleniti, da imajo proizvajalci RVP v Skupnosti, vključno z industrijo Skupnosti, koristi od veljavnih ukrepov, vendar so kljub temu v ranljivem položaju.
During the period considered, they have been able to increase their market share, production, capacity, turnover and the level of employment.
V obravnavanem obdobju jim je uspelo povečati tržni delež, proizvodnjo, zmogljivosti, promet in stopnjo zaposlenosti.
Furthermore, they have made substantial efforts in terms of investment, have opened new plants in Poland, Romania and Bulgaria.
Poleg tega so si bistveno prizadevali na področju naložb ter odprli nove obrate na Poljskem, v Romuniji in Bolgariji.
In addition, Tergal, an important supplier of the spinning industry, has overcome its financial difficulties and, according to the information supplied by the company, is no longer under safeguard procedure (procédure de sauvegarde) as from July 2007.
Prav tako je Tergal, pomemben dobavitelj v predivni industriji, premagal svoje finančne težave in glede na informacije, ki jih je predložilo podjetje, od julija 2007 ni več v zaščitnem postopku („procédure de sauvegarde“).
However, their financial situation is still precarious and cannot face a sudden influx of dumped imports.
Kljub temu je njihov finančni položaj še vedno negotov in se ne morejo soočiti z nenadnim pritokom dampinškega uvoza.
The maintenance of the duties will continue to provide substantial benefits to the Community industry and contribute in all likelihood to the restoration of its viability.
Ohranitev dajatev bo še naprej zagotavljala znatne koristi industriji Skupnosti in zelo verjetno prispevala k obnovi njene sposobnosti preživetja.
This situation is in stark contrast to the picture obtained in the previous investigation where it was concluded that the supply of PSF could be problematic in the Community market due to industrial conversion of one company (La Seda) in order to increase output of other products, the bankruptcy of another producer (Pennine Fibers) and the former financial difficulties of Tergal.
Te razmere so v velikem nasprotju s podatki, dobljenimi v prejšnji preiskavi, ko je bilo sklenjeno, da bi lahko bila dobava RVP na trgu Skupnosti težavna zaradi preusmeritve industrije enega podjetja (La Seda) za povečanje proizvodnje drugih izdelkov, stečaja drugega proizvajalca (Pennine Fibers) in prejšnjih finančnih težav družbe Tergal.
As for users and importers, the existing anti-dumping duties on imports from the countries concerned have not jeopardised their viability and capacity to expand.
V zvezi z uporabniki in uvozniki pa obstoječe protidampinške dajatve na uvoz iz zadevnih držav niso ogrozile njihove sposobnosti za preživetje in zmožnosti širitve.
Therefore, if measures are terminated, any advantages for users and importers are likely to be limited, given that the anti-dumping duties did not have a significant effect on their economic situation.
Zato se bodo z ukinitvijo ukrepov vse prednosti za uporabnike in uvoznike verjetno omejile, ker protidampinške dajatve niso znatno vplivale na njihov gospodarski položaj.
Contrary to this conclusion, the analysis of the previous investigation showed that the imposition of new of anti-dumping duties that could reach almost 30 % would have had an impact on prices of PSF, in particular HCS and LMP, that could have potentially put into financial difficulties a substantial number of users.
V nasprotju s tem sklepom je analiza prejšnje preiskave pokazala, da bi uvedba novih protidampinških dajatev, ki lahko dosežejo skoraj 30 %, vplivala na cene RVP, zlasti na cene HCS in LMP, kar bi lahko povzročilo finančne težave velikemu številu uporabnikov.
