In this respect, it is noted that, even in the case where the development of the dumped imports would show in the short term a different trend in comparison to the past, i.e. they would remain stable or start to decrease, this information should always be read and analysed in the context of the development of consumption.
V zvezi s tem se ugotavlja, da je treba te informacije vedno proučiti in analizirati v okviru razvoja potrošnje, tudi če bi razvoj dampinškega uvoza kratkoročno pokazal drugačen trend v primerjavi s preteklostjo, tj. uvoz bi ostal stabilen ali bi se začel zmanjševati.
In other words, the findings concerning this factor should not be based on a simple observation of the development of the volume of dumped imports in absolute terms, but should take due account of the market context in which this development is taking place and of whether or not they might have resulted in an increase or decrease of the market share held by these dumped imports.
Drugače povedano, ugotovitve v zvezi s tem dejavnikom ne smejo temeljiti na enostavnem opazovanju razvoja obsega dampinškega uvoza v absolutnem smislu, ampak je treba ustrezno upoštevati tržni kontekst razvoja in predpostavko, ali bi se lahko pojavilo povečanje ali zmanjšanje tržnega deleža tega dampinškega uvoza ali ne.
From the information available, it is clear that not only the dumped imports have shown a substantial increase of their market shares during the period considered, but they have also shown no sign of stopping or reversing this trend in a period when demand had already started to contract.
Iz razpoložljivih informacij je jasno, da se je tržni delež dampinškega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju pokazal ne le bistveno povečal, ampak tudi, da se v obdobju, ko se je povpraševanje že začelo zmanjševati, ni ustavil oziroma se trend ni obrnil.
As a consequence, the market share of the dumped Chinese imports is set to increase (see recital 96 above).
Zato se ugotavlja, da se bo tržni delež dampinškega kitajskega uvoza povečal (glej uvodno izjavo 96).
Consequently, it is concluded that, given the expected substantial decrease in consumption, the pressure of these dumped imports on the Community market is likely to increase substantially.
Zato se sklene, da se bo pritisk tega dampinškega uvoza na trg Skupnosti glede na pričakovano bistveno zmanjšanje potrošnje verjetno bistveno povečal.
Availability of free capacity of the exporters
Razpoložljivost prostih zmogljivosti izvoznikov
However, even by just considering the replies of the sampled Chinese exporters, it can be concluded that, in the light of the fact that the total Community consumption was calculated to be 3300000 tonnes during the IP, there is substantial available production capacity in China.
Vendar je mogoče že na podlagi izpolnjenih vprašalnikov vzorčenih kitajskih izvoznikov ob upoštevanju dejstva, da je celotna potrošnja Skupnosti v OP po izračunih znašala 3300000 ton, sklepati, da je na Kitajskem na voljo velika proizvodna zmogljivost.
In addition, the complainant submitted credible information about the commissioning of two new seamless pipe plants in the PRC in January 2009.
Pritožnik je tudi predložil verodostojne informacije o gradnji dveh novih obratov za proizvodnjo brezšivnih cevi v LRK januarja 2009.
These two plants, with a capacity of around 400000 tonnes each, have the capacity to supply one quarter of the EC market alone.
Ta dva obrata, oba z zmogljivostjo približno 400000 ton, sta sposobna oskrbeti eno četrtino trga ES.
Moreover, information provided by the Chinese Association of producers (CISA) sets the total Chinese production at around 20 million tonnes.
Poleg tega informacije, ki jih je predložilo kitajsko združenje proizvajalcev (CISA), kažejo, da celotna kitajska proizvodnja znaša približno 20 milijonov ton.
The sampled Chinese producers have reported that, on average, their exports accounted for 27 % of their total sales during the IP, up from 17 %, which was their export ratio in 2005.
Vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalci so poročali, da je njihov uvoz v povprečju pomenil 27 % njihove celotne prodaje v OP v primerjavi s 17 %, kolikor je leta 2005 znašal njihov obseg izvoza.
It can therefore be concluded that over the period considered the Chinese exporters have substantially increased their inclination to export, which translated in a very considerable increase of exports in absolute terms, since the total sales of sampled producers grew by more than 56 % during the period considered.
Zato je mogoče skleniti, da so se kitajski izvozniki v obravnavanem obdobju bistveno bolj usmerili v izvoz, kar je povzročilo zelo veliko povečanje izvoza v absolutnem smislu, saj se je celotna prodaja vzorčenih proizvajalcev v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za več kot 56 %.
There is no indication that this trend, which is the combined effect of an increase in production with an increase of the rate of export, should be reversed in the near future.
Nobenih znakov ni, da bi se ta trend, ki je skupni učinek povečanja proizvodnje in povečanja stopnje izvoza, v bližnji prihodnosti obrnil.
The percentage of Chinese exports to the Community (as a percentage of total Chinese exports) significantly increased during the period considered from 1 % in 2005 to 9 % during the IP.
Delež kitajskega izvoza v Skupnost (kot delež celotnega kitajskega izvoza) se je v obravnavanem obdobju bistveno povečal, in sicer z 1 % leta 2005 na 9 % v OP.
This confirms that during the period considered a considerable shift has already taken place in the exporting activities and the Community has gained importance in the overall market strategy of the Chinese exporters.
To potrjuje, da so se v obravnavanem obdobju že bistveno spremenile izvozne dejavnosti, Skupnost pa je dobila velik pomen v splošni tržni strategiji kitajskih izvoznikov.
The other main markets are the USA with 36 % (up from 31 % in 2007), Algeria (6 %, up from 2 % in 2006) and South Korea (6 %, up from 3 % in 2005).
Drugi pomembni trgi so ZDA s 36 % (z 31 % leta 2007), Alžirija (6 %, z 2 % leta 2006) in Južna Koreja (6 %, s 3 % leta 2005).
On this basis, it can be expected that a significant part of the newly created excess capacity will be directed to the EC market.
Na podlagi tega je mogoče pričakovati, da bo velik delež novoustvarjene presežne zmogljivosti usmerjen v trg Evropske skupnosti.
Moreover, a significant shrinking of some of these markets, and in particular of the US market, can be expected shortly so that the volumes freed from those markets could be easily re-directed to the EC.
Poleg tega je mogoče v kratkem pričakovati bistveno krčenje nekaterih od teh trgov, zlasti trga ZDA, tako da se bo lahko obseg izvoza, sproščenega s teh trgov, brez težav preusmeril na trg ES.
This re-direction might not have taken place more substantially until now because, according to Chinese statistics and information collected from the sampled Chinese producers, the prices in the EC market have been so far somewhat lower than in other markets.
Ta preusmeritev do zdaj morda ni bila obsežnejša, ker so bile v skladu s kitajskimi statističnimi podatki in informacijami, ki so jih dali vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalci, cene na trgu ES do zdaj nižje kot na drugih trgih.
However, it can be expected that, in case of substantial reduction of the volumes sold in other markets, considerations regarding price levels will be easily disregarded in the face of the need to keep production output and capacity utilisation at sufficiently high levels.
Vendar je mogoče pričakovati, da bo mogoče v primeru bistvenega zmanjšanja obsega prodaje na drugih trgih pomisleke glede ravni cene zlahka zavreči zaradi potrebe po ohranitvi dovolj visokih ravni obsega proizvodnje in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti.
Moreover, it is expected that markets like the Community, where penetration has proven relatively easy and very successful will become the preferred target of any such re-direction policy.
Poleg tega se pričakuje, da bodo trgi, kot je Skupnost, na katere je dokazano mogoče relativno brez težav in zelo uspešno prodreti, postali priljubljena tarča vsake take preusmeritvene politike.
Prices of the imports from the PRC
Cene uvoza iz LRK
Prices of the Chinese imports were during the period considered substantially lower not only than the prices of the Community industry, but also than prices from other countries.
Cene kitajskega uvoza so bile v obravnavanem obdobju bistveno nižje ne le od cen industrije Skupnosti, ampak tudi od cen drugih držav.
This is confirmed by the undercutting analysis mentioned at recitals 65 and 142 below.
To potrjuje analiza nelojalnega nižanja cen iz uvodnih izjav 65 in 142.
The very substantial and systematic (i.e. relatively homogenous on a type by type basis) undercutting found has ensured the continuous expansion of the market share held by the dumped imports during the period considered.
Zelo obsežno in sistematično (tj. relativno homogeno za vsako posamezno vrsto) nelojalno nižanje cen je zagotovilo nenehno povečevanje tržnega deleža dampinškega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju.
There was, therefore, during the period considered a clear link between the increase in market shares of the dumped imports and the decrease in market shares of sales from other sources, including the Community industry, and this could be obtained via the advantage gained by the conspicuous difference in selling prices.
Zato je v obravnavanem obdobju obstajala jasna povezava med povečanjem tržnih deležev dampinškega uvoza in zmanjšanjem tržnih deležev prodaje od drugih virov, vključno z industrijo Skupnosti, kar je bilo mogoče doseči prek prednosti, pridobljene z očitno razliko v prodajnih cenah.
If this did not result in a material injury for the Community industry during the period considered, this is only because the expansion of the Community market provided the Community industry with sufficient ground to maintain its production, production capacity, sales and profitability levels.
Če to industriji Skupnosti v obravnavanem obdobju ne bi povzročilo znatne škode, bi bil razlog le to, da je širitev trga Skupnosti zagotovila industriji Skupnosti zadostno podlago za ohranitev njene proizvodnje, proizvodne zmogljivosti, prodaje in ravni dobičkonosnosti.
There is no reason to believe that in an economic environment characterised by a substantial contraction in demand there may be a tendency for low prices to increase.
Nobenega razloga ni za sklepanje, da v gospodarskem okolju, za katero je značilno veliko zmanjševanje povpraševanja, morda obstaja nagnjenost k povišanju nizkih cen.
On the contrary, from the supplier’s side in a context of shrinking consumption, low prices are expected to be kept low, with the objective of gaining further market shares or at least maintaining and consolidating the existing ones.
Nasprotno, od dobavitelja se v razmerah zmanjševanja potrošnje pričakuje, da bodo nizke cene še naprej ostale nizke, da bi se dodatno povečali tržni deleži ali bi se vsaj ohranili in utrdili obstoječi deleži.
At the same time, those producers of goods incorporating the product concerned which were already buying low-priced goods will exert pressure to maintain such prices low or even decrease them, in order to contain their cost budgets.
Sočasno bodo tisti proizvajalci blaga, v katero je zajet zadevni izdelek, ki so že kupovali poceni blago, izvajali pritisk za ohranitev takih nizkih cen ali celo njihovo znižanje, da bodo ohranili svoj stroškovni proračun.
Producers that in the past had favoured higher priced products will tend to reduce their production costs whenever possible, and therefore give preference to lower priced inputs even if this may require some sacrifice in terms of, e.g. quality of the product and reliability of supply.
Proizvajalci, ki so v preteklosti dajali prednost dražjim izdelkom, bodo želeli znižati proizvodne stroške, kadar bo to mogoče, in bodo tako dali prednost cenejšim surovinam, čeprav lahko to zahteva nekaj žrtev, npr. kakovost izdelka in zanesljivost oskrbe.
Moreover, this raw material being commodities, the increase observed in their prices has been reflected in the final price of seamless pipes and tubes by all producers to the extent possible.
Ker so te surovine bazični proizvodi, se je opaženo povišanje njihovih cen izražalo v končni ceni brezšivnih cevi vseh proizvajalcev v mogočem obsegu.
The Community industry also has been obliged to reflect such increase in costs in its selling prices which have therefore gone up.
Tudi industrija Skupnosti je morala tako povišanje stroškov izraziti v prodajnih cenah, ki so se zato povišale.
Consequently, since all prices in the market have shown an increase, the prices of the dumped imports continue to be substantially lower than the selling prices of the Community industry even in the period following the IP.
Ker so se vse cene na trgu povišale, cene dampinškega uvoza še naprej ostajajo bistveno nižje od prodajnih cen industrije Skupnosti, tudi v obdobju po OP.
In conclusion, the negative effect of the very low prices of the dumped imports is found to be twofold: (i) on the one hand, the significant price differential is likely to cause a shift towards the dumped imports, because users will be more likely to buy increasing quantities of goods that are sold at low prices; (ii) on the other hand, the existence of such low prices in the market is likely to be used by buyers as a negotiating tool to depress the prices offered by the Community producers and other sources, thereby causing a depressive effect in terms of both diminishing volumes and lower prices.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je negativni učinek zelo nizkih cen dampinškega uvoza dvojen: (i) po eni strani bo velika razlika v ceni verjetno povzročila preusmeritev k dampinškemu uvozu, ker bodo uporabniki verjetneje kupovali večje količine blaga, ki se prodaja po nizkih cenah; (ii) po drugi strani bodo kupci tako nizke cene na trgu verjetno izkoristili kot pogajalsko orodje za znižanje cen, ki jih ponujajo proizvajalci Skupnosti in drugi viri, ter tako povzročili negativni učinek v smislu zmanjšanja obsega in nižjih cen.
While these effects can be questioned in situations where the price differentials are not substantial, in the case at stake, and considering the very high price undercutting found, the resulting damage is expected to be serious.
Medtem ko so ti učinki vprašljivi v razmerah, v katerih razlike v ceni niso velike, bo v obravnavanem primeru in ob upoštevanju zelo obsežnega nelojalnega nižanja cen posledična škoda po pričakovanjih zelo velika.
Level of the inventories
Raven zalog
This factor is not of any particular significance for the analysis because normally stocks are kept by traders (stockists) and not by producers.
Ta dejavnik ni tako pomemben za analizo, ker zaloge običajno hranijo trgovci (skladiščniki), in ne proizvajalci.
Although some allegations were made by the CI, no evidence could be found that stockpiling activities might have taken place to an extent which may significantly influence the market in the near future.
Čeprav je industrija Skupnosti tako domnevala, ni bilo mogoče dokazati, da bi lahko skladiščne dejavnosti dosegle obseg, ki bi lahko v bližnji prihodnosti zelo vplival na trg.
It should also be pointed out that none of the sampled Chinese producers was found to meet the MET criteria, inter alia, because these companies are all considered as still operating under State influence (all of them in fact fail at least either criterion 1 or 3).
Prav tako je treba poudariti, da nobeden od vzorčenih kitajskih proizvajalcev ni izpolnjeval meril TGO, med drugim zato, ker se šteje, da te družbe še vedno delujejo pod vplivom države (nobena od njih ne izpolnjuje vsaj merila 1 ali 3).
In a situation of worldwide economic crisis, it is likely that the Chinese government be tempted to further intervene to support these companies (or their suppliers), thereby helping them to keep their costs low, and maintaining, if not increasing, their price advantage in the EC market.
Med svetovno gospodarsko krizo je verjetno, da bo kitajsko vlado verjetno zamikalo, da bi še naprej izvajala posege za podporo teh družb (ali njihovih dobaviteljev), s čimer jim bo pomagala pri ohranjanju nizkih stroškov in ohranjanju, če ne celo povečanju njihove cenovne prednosti na trgu ES.
In conclusion, it is considered that the Chinese exporters are operating in an environment that may easily provide them with opportunities to further maintain their price advantage even in the case that other suppliers of the Community market would reduce prices in order to reduce the gap with the prices of the dumped imports prevailing during the period considered.
Ugotavlja se, da kitajski izvozniki delujejo v okolju, ki jim brez težav zagotavlja priložnosti za nadaljnje ohranjanje njihove cenovne prednosti, tudi v primeru, ko bi drugi dobavitelji na trgu Skupnosti znižali cene, da bi se zmanjšala vrzel med cenami dampinškega uvoza, ki je prevladoval v obravnavanem obdobju.
Even in the case that the pressure exerted by the significant undercutting shown by the dumped imports during the IP would lead to a reduction of the level of prices of the Community industry, a further reduction of prices made by the Chinese exporters with the objective of maintaining the differential observed during the IP cannot be ruled out.
Tudi če bi pritisk zaradi obsežnega nelojalnega nižanja cen, ki je bilo v OP opaženo pri dampinškem uvozu, povzročil znižanje ravni cen industrije Skupnosti, ni mogoče izključiti dodatnega znižanja cen, ki bi ga kitajski izvozniki izvedli zaradi ohranjanja razlike, ki je bila ugotovljena v OP.
Conclusion on threat of injury
Sklepna ugotovitev o nevarnosti škode
The threat of injury factors analysed at recitals 113 to 125 above need to be read in the context of the specific market situation that changed after the IP and is likely to remain at least in the near future in the EC market.
Dejavnike nevarnosti škode, analizirane v uvodnih izjavah 113 do 125, je treba razumeti ob upoštevanju posebnih razmer na trgu, ki so se po OP spremenile in bodo na trgu ES verjetno vsaj v bližnji prihodnosti ostale nespremenjene.
In the context of a substantially decreasing consumption, referred to at recital 91 above, Chinese imports constitute a significant threat of injury because of:
Kitajski uvoz ob potrošnji, ki se znatno zmanjšuje, kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 91, pomeni veliko nevarnost škode zaradi:
their historical volumes increase in absolute and relative terms in the Community market, which underlines a strategy of market penetration, coupled with a stable development after the IP, although in presence of a shrinking demand;
nekdanjega povečanja svojega obsega na trgu Skupnosti v absolutnem in relativnem smislu, kar poudarja strategijo prodora na trg, skupaj s stabilnim razvojem po OP, kljub pojemajočem povpraševanju;
their potential future increase in absolute and/or relative terms due to the existence of large unused production capacities in the PRC and the likely shrinking of other markets which could free further volumes to be re-directed to Europe; and
svojega morebitnega povečanja v prihodnosti v absolutnem in/ali relativnem smislu zaradi obstoja velikih neizkoriščenih proizvodnih zmogljivosti v LRK in verjetnega krčenja drugih trgov, zaradi česar bi se lahko sprostile nadaljnje količine za preusmeritev v Evropo, in
the significant price difference compared to that of the like product in the Community or from other countries, which is likely to both favour a switch towards the Chinese dumped imports and to depress the level of prices in the Community market.
velike razlike v ceni v primerjavi s ceno podobnega izdelka v Skupnosti ali iz drugih držav, ki bo verjetno prispevala tako k preusmeritvi h kitajskemu dampinškemu uvozu kot znižanju ravni cen na trgu Skupnosti.
It is provisionally concluded that in the absence of measures the Chinese dumped imports would imminently cause material injury to the vulnerable Community industry, in particular, in terms of reduced sales, market share, production and profitability.
Začasno se sklene, da bi kitajski dampinški uvoz brez ukrepov neizbežno povzročil znatno škodo občutljivi industriji Skupnosti, zlasti v smislu zmanjšane prodaje, tržnega deleža, proizvodnje in dobičkonosnosti.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether dumped imports have caused injury or constitute a threat of injury to the Community industry to a degree that enables it to be classified as material.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(6) in 3(7) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali je dampinški uvoz industriji Skupnosti povzročil škodo ali za industrijo Skupnosti pomeni nevarnost škode, ki se lahko opredeli kot znatna.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time be injuring or be the cause of a threat to the Community industry, were also examined to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Poleg dampinškega uvoza so bili proučeni tudi drugi znani dejavniki, ki bi lahko hkrati povzročali škodo industriji Skupnosti ali bili povod za povzročitev škode industriji Skupnosti, da bi se zagotovilo, da morebitna škoda, ki bi jo povzročili ti drugi dejavniki, ne bi bila pripisana dampinškemu uvozu.
Between 2005 and the IP, the volume of the dumped imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC increased by more than 20 times from 26273 tonnes to 542840 tonnes, and their share of the Community market increased by more than 16 percentage points (from 1 % to 17,1 %).
Obseg dampinškega uvoza zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK se je med letom 2005 in OP povečal za več kot dvajsetkrat, in sicer s 26273 ton na 542840 ton, njegov delež na trgu Skupnosti pa se je povečal za več kot 16 odstotnih točk (z 1 % na 17,1 %).
The average price of these imports decreased between 2005 and the IP, and remained significantly lower than the average price of all other supply sources.
Povprečna cena tega uvoza se je med letom 2005 in OP znižala ter je ostala bistveno nižja od povprečne cene vseh drugih virov oskrbe.
As indicated at recital 65 above, price undercutting of the Chinese imports was 24 % overall on a weighted average basis.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 65, je bilo nelojalno nižanje cen kitajskega uvoza skupno 24-odstotno na podlagi tehtanega povprečja.
It should also be pointed out that for the same period the same dumped imports were sold at prices significantly lower than imports from any other sources (see recital 143 below).
Poudariti je treba tudi, da se je v istem obdobju isti dampinški uvoz prodajal po bistveno nižjih cenah od cen uvoza od katerega koli drugega vira (glej uvodno izjavo 143).
The increase in dumped Chinese imports has therefore been the reason why the Community industry has not been able to fully benefit from the increase in demand which took place in the Community market.
Povečanje dampinškega kitajskega uvoza je bilo zato razlog, zakaj industrija Skupnosti ni bila sposobna v celoti izkoristiti povečanega povpraševanja na trgu Skupnosti.
It should also be noted in this respect that there is a clear coincidence in time between the rapid increase in the market share of the Chinese products and the corresponding substantial erosion of the market shares held by imports from Russia and Ukraine, which were their closest competitor in terms of prices.
V zvezi s tem je treba tudi poudariti, da obstaja očitno časovno sovpadanje hitrega povečanja tržnega deleža kitajskih izdelkov in posledičnega bistvenega zmanjšanja tržnega deleža uvoza iz Rusije in Ukrajine, ki sta bila najbližja konkurenta v smislu cen.
Moreover, in view of the substantial undercutting of the Community industry’s prices by imports from the PRC, it is considered that these dumped imports exerted an overall pressure on the prices in the Community market, starting from the IP, thereby preventing the Community industry from increasing its sales prices to the extent necessary to maintain the achieved level of profitability.
Poleg tega se glede na bistveno nelojalno nižanje cen industrije Skupnosti zaradi uvoza iz LRK šteje, da je ta dampinški uvoz v celoti pritiskal na cene na trgu Skupnosti od OP, s čimer je industriji Skupnosti preprečil povišanje njenih prodajnih cen do stopnje, potrebne za vzdrževanje dosežene ravni dobičkonosnosti.
