On 9 July 2008, the Commission published a notice [2] initiating an anti-dumping proceeding on imports into the Community of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in the People’s Republic of China (the PRC).
Komisija je 9. julija 2008 objavila obvestilo [2] o začetku protidampinškega postopka v zvezi z uvozom nekaterih brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali jekla s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske (LRK) v Skupnost.
On 8 April 2009, the Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 289/2009 [3] (the provisional Regulation) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in the PRC.
Komisija je 8. aprila 2009 z Uredbo (ES) št. 289/2009 [3] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: začasna uredba) uvedla začasno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali jekla s poreklom iz LRK.
The proceeding was initiated following a complaint lodged by the Defence Committee of the Seamless Steel Tube Industry of the European Union (the complainant) on behalf of producers representing a major proportion, in this case more than 50 %, of the total Community production of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel.
Postopek se je začel na podlagi pritožbe, ki jo je vložil Zaščitni odbor industrije brezšivnih cevi Evropske unije (v nadaljnjem besedilu: pritožnik) v imenu proizvajalcev, ki predstavljajo večino, v tem primeru več kot 50 % celotne proizvodnje nekaterih brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali jekla v Skupnosti.
As set out in recital 13 of the provisional Regulation, the investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 July 2007 to 30 June 2008 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 13 začasne uredbe, je preiskava dampinga in škode zajela obdobje od 1. julija 2007 do 30. junija 2008 (v nadaljnjem besedilu: obdobje preiskave ali OP).
The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2005 to the end of the IP (period considered).
Proučitev gibanj, pomembnih za oceno škode, je zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2005 do konca OP (v nadaljnjem besedilu: obravnavano obdobje).
Subsequent to the disclosure of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was decided to impose provisional anti-dumping measures (provisional disclosure), several interested parties made written submissions making their views known on the provisional findings.
Po razkritju bistvenih dejstev in premislekov, na podlagi katerih je bila sprejeta odločitev za uvedbo začasnih protidampinških ukrepov (v nadaljnjem besedilu: začasno razkritje), je več zainteresiranih strank predložilo pisna stališča v zvezi z začasnimi ugotovitvami.
The Commission continued to seek and verify all information it deemed necessary for its definitive findings.
Komisija je še naprej zbirala in preverjala vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za sprejetje dokončnih ugotovitev.

in addition, a verification visit was carried out at the premises of the complainant at Boulogne-Billancourt, France.
Poleg tega je bil opravljen tudi preveritveni obisk v prostorih pritožnika Boulogne-Billancourt, Francija.
The Commission also conducted a further desk analysis of the questionnaire replies of all four sampled exporting producers, including in particular the verification of the transaction listing provided by the following exporters:
Komisija je izvedla teoretično analizo izpolnjenih vprašalnikov vseh štirih vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, vključno s preverjanjem seznama transakcij, ki so ga predložili naslednji izvozniki:
All parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel originating in the PRC and the definitive collection of the amounts secured by way of the provisional duty (final disclosure).
Vse stranke so bile obveščene o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih se je nameravala priporočiti uvedba dokončne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz nekaterih brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali jekla s poreklom iz LRK in dokončno pobiranje zneskov, zavarovanih z začasno dajatvijo („dokončno razkritje“).
The oral and written comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and, where appropriate, the findings were modified accordingly.
Ustne in pisne pripombe, ki so jih predložile zainteresirane stranke, so bile obravnavane, ugotovitve pa so bile po potrebi ustrezno spremenjene.
In the absence of any comments concerning the sampling of exporting producers in the PRC and of Community producers, the provisional findings in recitals 11 to 12 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih pripomb v zvezi z vzorčenjem proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK in proizvajalcev Skupnosti, se začasne ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav od 11 do 12 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
The product concerned is certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or steel, of circular cross section, of an external diameter not exceeding 406,4 mm with a Carbon Equivalent Value (CEV) not exceeding 0,86 according to the International Institute of Welding (IIW) formula and chemical analysis [4], originating in the PRC (the product concerned) and currently falling within CN codes ex73041910, ex73041930, ex73042300, ex73042910, ex73042930, ex73043120, ex73043180, ex73043910, ex73043952, ex73043958, ex73043992, ex73043993, ex73045181, ex73045189, ex73045910, ex73045992 and ex73045993 [5].
Zadevni izdelek so nekatere brezšivne cevi iz železa ali jekla, s krožnim prečnim prerezom, z zunanjim premerom do vključno 406,4 mm, z ekvivalentom ogljika (CEV) do vključno 0,86 v skladu s formulo in kemično analizo Mednarodnega inštituta za varilstvo (IIW) [4], uvrščene pod oznake KN ex73041910, ex73041930, ex73042300, ex73042910, ex73042930, ex73043120, ex73043180, ex73043910, ex73043952, ex73043958, ex73043992, ex73043993, ex73045181, ex73045189, ex73045910, ex73045992 in ex73045993 [5] ter s poreklom iz LRK (v nadaljnjem besedilu: zadevni izdelek).
After the publication of the provisional Regulation, a clerical mistake was found in the numbering of the Technical Report mentioned in the footnote of recital 14 of the provisional Regulation for the determination of the Carbon Equivalent Value (CEV).
Po objavi začasne uredbe je bila ugotovljena administrativna napaka v številčenju Tehničnega poročila, navedenega v opombi uvodne izjave 14 začasne uredbe, v zvezi z določitvijo ekvivalenta ogljika (CEV).
The correct reference is Technical Report, 1967, IIW doc. IX-555-67 published by the International Institute of Welding (IIW).
Pravilni sklic je Tehnično poročilo, 1967, IIW dok. IX-555-67, ki ga je objavil Mednarodni inštitut za varilstvo (IIW).
After provisional disclosure, the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA) claimed that the CN codes covering the product concerned were also covering a number of other products which would fall outside the scope of the investigation such as products with an outside diameter exceeding 406,4 mm or with a CEV exceeding 0,86 and, as a consequence, the import figures used in the investigation would be overstated.
Po začasnem razkritju je kitajsko združenje za železo in jeklo (China Iron and Steel Association – CISA) trdilo, da oznake KN, ki zajemajo zadevni izdelek, zajemajo tudi številne druge izdelke, ki niso bili vključeni v preiskavo, kot so izdelki z zunanjim premerom več kot 406,4 mm ali s CEV več kot 0,86, in zato naj bi bile uvozne številke iz preiskave precenjene.
In this respect, it has to be noted that products with an outside diameter exceeding 406,4 mm or with a CEV exceeding 0,86 according to the IIW formula and chemical analysis are not concerned by these proceedings.
Zato je treba opozoriti, da izdelki z zunanjim premerom več kot 406,4 mm ali s CEV več kot 0,86 v skladu s formulo in kemično analizo Mednarodnega inštituta za varilstvo niso zajeti v teh postopkih.
Furthermore, no evidence was found at any of the sampled exporting producers that these products are produced in the PRC in significant quantities.
Poleg tega za nobenega vzorčenega proizvajalca izvoznika ni bilo mogoče dokazati, da se ti izdelki v LRK proizvajajo v znatnih količinah.
Therefore, it has been concluded that there is no credible evidence regarding the import of any significant quantities of such Chinese products into the EC.
Zato se šteje, da v zvezi z izvozom kakršnih koli znatnih količin teh kitajskih izdelkov v ES ne obstajajo nobeni verodostojni dokazi.
Following the final disclosure, CISA reiterated the claim that oil country tubular goods (OCTG) should be excluded from the definition of the product concerned and pointed out that other countries, including the USA, treat OCTG as belonging to a separate market for the purpose of anti-dumping investigations.
Po dokončnem razkritju je CISA ponovno navedla trditev, da se cevni material za naftovode (oil country tubular goods - OCTG) ne sme upoštevati v opredelitvi zadevnega izdelka, in poudarila, da druge države, vključno z ZDA, OCTG obravnavajo kot ločeni trg za namene protidampinških preiskav.
Similar claims were also made by the Chinese government (Mofcom).
Podobne trditve je navedla tudi kitajska vlada (v nadaljnjem besedilu: MOFCOM).
The abovementioned claims have been analysed in detail and it has been found that the different types of seamless pipes and tubes, including OCTG, included in the product definition share the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics, which means that they belong to the same product category.
Natančne analize navedenih trditev so pokazale, da imajo različne vrste brezšivnih cevi, vključno z OCTG, ki so bili vključeni v opredelitev izdelka, enake fizikalne, kemijske in tehnične lastnosti, kar pomeni, da spadajo v isto kategorijo izdelka.
The fact that these different product types differ to a certain extent in their characteristics, cost and selling prices is normal.
Za normalno se šteje, da se različne vrste izdelkov med seboj do določene mere razlikujejo po lastnostih, stroških in prodajni ceni.
Moreover, the fact that other investigating authorities carry out investigations into OCTG only may well be due to the particularities of such investigations, i.e. the scope of the underlying complaint.
Poleg tega je dejstvo, da drugi preiskovalni organi izvajajo preiskave na samo OCTG lahko odvisno od posebne narave teh preiskav, tj. od vložene pritožbe.
Indeed, it was found that the US authorities did not have to investigate whether OCTG share the same basic characteristics as other seamless pipes and tubes.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da organom ZDA ni bilo treba preiskovati, ali ima OCTG iste osnovne lastnosti kot druge brezšivne cevi.
Furthermore, the Community industry provided evidence of the interchangeability between plain-end OCTG and other products subject to the investigation.
Poleg tega je industrija Skupnosti predložila dokaze o zamenljivosti med OCTG brez navoja in drugimi izdelki iz te preiskave.
It was also argued that in defining the product concerned undue importance was given to elements such as the wall thickness, external diameter, and CEV threshold, whilst no proper attention had been paid to technical properties such as high pressure and high corrosion resistance and to the existence of special American Petroleum Institute (API) standards for OCTG.
CISA je trdila tudi, da so bili pri opredelitvi zadevnega izdelka preveč poudarjeni elementi, kot so debelina sten, zunanji premer, prag CEV, medtem ko tehničnim značilnostim, kot je visoka odpornost na pritisk in korozijo, ter obstoju standardov ameriškega inštituta za nafto (American Petroleum Institute- API) za OCTG ni bilo posvečeno dovolj pozornosti.
First of all, it must be noted that since the wall thickness is not used in the definition of the scope of the investigation, the external diameter and the CEV threshold remain the most appropriate elements to identify the product concerned.
Glede na to, da debelina sten ni uporabljena v opredelitvi obsega preiskave, je treba najprej opozoriti, da sta zunanji premer in prag CEV še vedno najbolj primerna elementa za identifikacijo zadevnega izdelka.
The external diameter is also an element used in distinguishing the product for statistical and customs purposes.
Zunanji premer se uporablja tudi pri razlikovanju izdelka za statistične in carinske namene.
As regards the CEV threshold, it defines the level at which a product can be welded and the threshold is set at 0,86 in order to separate products which can easily be welded from those which can not.
Prag CEV določa raven, na kateri se izdelek lahko vari, pri čemer njegova vrednost znaša 0,86, da se izdelki, ki se enostavno varijo, ločijo od tistih, ki se ne.
Secondly, information provided by the Community industry shows that OCTG, as other types of tubes, may have both high and low corrosion/pressure resistance.
Drugič, informacije, ki jih je predložila industrija Skupnosti, kažejo, da lahko imajo OCTG in druge vrste cevi tako visoko kot nizko odpornost na korozijo/pritisk.
Thus neither the corrosion nor the pressure resistance could be used as a criterion in defining the product concerned.
Zato se odpornost na korozijo in pritisk ne more uporabiti kot merilo pri opredelitvi zadevnega izdelka.
Thirdly, the special API standards exist as regards OCTG and line pipes because they are used in the petroleum sector.
Tretjič, posebni standardi API se uporabljajo za OCTG ter cevovode, ki se uporabljajo v naftnem sektorju.
However, tubes used in other sectors are also subject to similar standards, although issued by other organisations (e.g. ASTM).
Za cevi v drugih sektorjih pa se uporabljajo podobni standardi, čeprav so jih izdale druge organizacije (npr. ASTM).
As a result, the fact that standards are issued by one or the other organisation cannot be an element to define the product scope of an anti-dumping investigation.
Ti standardi ne morejo biti element za opredelitev obsega izdelka v protidampinški preiskavi, ker jih izdajajo različne organizacije.
In conclusion, neither CISA nor Mofcom has submitted valid alternative elements to better define the product scope, nor have they ever proposed criteria that would be more appropriate to define the product concerned, apart from the high corrosion/pressure resistance mentioned above.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da CISA in MOFCOM nista predložili drugih veljavnih elementov, ki bi bolje opredelili obseg izdelka, in nista predlagali nobenih drugih meril, ki bi bili bolj primerni za opredelitev zadevnega izdelka, razen navedene visoke odpornosti na korozijo in pritisk.
In addition, neither party proposed a different CEV level as a more appropriate threshold.
Poleg tega nobena stranka ni predlagala drugačne ravni CEV za ustreznejši prag.
Therefore, the claims on the definition of the product concerned are rejected.
Zato se trditve o opredelitvi zadevnega izdelka zavrnejo.
In view of the above, it is definitively concluded that the product concerned incorporates, inter alia, OCTG used for drilling, casing and tubing in the oil industry, and recitals 14 to 19 of the provisional Regulation are hereby definitively confirmed.
Glede na navedeno se je dokončno sklenilo, da zadevni izdelek vsebuje, med drugim, OCTG, ki se v naftni industriji uporablja za vrtalne, zaščitne in proizvodne cevi, zato se uvodne izjave od 14 do 19 začasne uredbe dokončno potrdijo.
Market economy treatment (MET)
Tržnogospodarska obravnava (v nadaljnjem besedilu: TGO)
In the absence of any comments, the content of recitals 20 to 27 of the provisional Regulation concerning MET findings is hereby definitively confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih pripomb, se vsebina uvodnih izjav od 20 do 27 začasne uredbe v zvezi z ugotovitvami TGO dokončno potrdi.
Individual treatment (IT)
Individualna obravnava (v nadaljnjem besedilu: IO)
Further to provisional disclosure, the complainant claimed that one exporting producer provisionally granted IT should not have received IT, as among other things, it was allegedly majority state owned.
Po začasnem razkritju je pritožnik trdil, da en proizvajalec izvoznik, ki mu je bila začasno odobrena IO, ta ne bi smela biti odobrena, ker naj bi med drugim bila večinoma v lasti države.
Further investigation showed that the Chinese state did (indirectly) have some stake in the said company, but during the IP the state was a minority shareholder.
Nadaljnja preiskava je pokazala, da je imela kitajska država (posredno) nekaj delnic v navedeni družbi, vendar je bila kitajska država med OP manjšinski delničar.
However, the shareholding changed significantly at the end of 2008 (post-IP) when the Chinese state acquired more shares of the holding company and the state thus became a majority shareholder.
Ta delež se je znatno spremenil na koncu leta 2008 (obdobje po OP), ko je kitajska država kupila več delnic holdinga in postala večinski delničar.
Consequently, the Commission considered that the exporting producer in question would not fulfil the requirements of Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation and should not be granted IT.
Komisija je torej menila, da zadevni proizvajalec izvoznik ni izpolnil zahtev iz člena 9(5) osnovne uredbe in se mu zato IO ne odobri.
In particular, the said company claimed that the increased shareholding had no impact on the management structure, the composition of the Board of Directors and the commercial activities.
Navedena družba je trdila, da povečani delež ni vplival na upravljavsko strukturo, sestavo članov uprave in trgovinske dejavnosti.
It also claimed that the change in shareholding had no effect on the company’s decisions regarding export activities that remain to be made independently from the state.
Trdila je tudi, da sprememba deleža ni vplivala na odločitev družbe v zvezi z izvoznimi dejavnostmi, ki se izvajajo neodvisno od kitajske države.
The company also submitted that no evidence has been shown that in this case state influence would be such as to permit circumvention of measures if the company would be given an individual rate of duty.
Družba je trdila tudi, da ni dokazano, da bi bil vpliv države v tem primeru tako velik, da bi omogočal izogibanje ukrepom, če bi bila družbi odobrena individualna stopnja dajatve.
In order to be granted IT, exporting producers must demonstrate that they fulfil all the criteria enumerated in Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.
Da se proizvajalcem izvoznikom odobri IO, morajo dokazati, da izpolnjujejo vsa merila iz člena 9(5) osnovne uredbe.
One of these criteria is that the majority of shares belong to private persons.
Eno izmed teh meril je, da mora večina delnic pripadati fizičnim osebam.
However, as regards the said company, this criterion has not been met since the end of 2008.
Vendar navedena družba ni izpolnjevala tega merila od konca leta 2008.
Consequently, despite the fact that the change of ownership happened only after the IP (but still before the conclusion of the investigation) and considering the prospective nature of the findings with regard to IT, it is concluded that this company should not be granted IT, as it did not fulfil the requirements of Article 9(5) of the basic Regulation.
Ne glede na to, da se je sprememba v lastništvu zgodila po OP (vendar še v času preiskave) in glede na to, da so ugotovitve v zvezi z IO napovedi, se šteje, da se tej družbi ne sme odobriti IO, ker ni izpolnila zahtev iz člena 9(5) osnovne uredbe.
In the absence of any other comments concerning IT, the content of recitals 28 to 32 of the provisional Regulation, other than those concerning the company mentioned in recitals 19 to 23 above, is hereby definitively confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih pripomb v zvezi z IO, razen pripomb v zvezi z družbo iz uvodnih izjav od 19 do 23, se vsebina uvodnih izjav od 28 do 32 začasne uredbe dokončno potrdi.
Following the provisional disclosure, three parties submitted that the USA was not an appropriate analogue country since the market conditions in the USA and in the PRC are significantly different.
Po začasnem razkritju so tri stranke trdile, da ZDA niso primerna analogna država, saj so tržne razmere v ZDA in LRK zelo različne.
It was also submitted that the normal value calculation was based on the data of only one producer, related to a producer in the Community, and thus were not representative.
Trdile so tudi, da izračun normalne vrednosti temelji na podatkih samo enega proizvajalca, povezanega s proizvajalcem v Skupnosti, ki zato niso reprezentativni.
It is noted that the basic Regulation requires that the analogue country be selected in a not unreasonable manner.
Ugotavlja se, da osnovna uredba zahteva, da se primerljiva država izbere smiselno.
The parties mentioned above failed to provide substantiated evidence that the choice of the USA was unreasonable.
Navedene stranke niso zagotovile trdnih dokazov, da izbira ZDA ni smiselna.
In particular, they did not question the competitiveness of the US market, the lack of which for example could have an impact on the level of prices established.
Zlasti niso predložile dokazov o nezadostni konkurenčnosti trga ZDA, ki bi na primer lahko vplival na stopnjo določenih cen.
It is also noted that none of the parties in question suggested any alternative choice for the analogue country.
Ugotavlja se tudi, da nobena od zadevnih strank ni predlagala druge izbire za primerljivo državo.
In view of the above, it is definitively concluded that the USA is an appropriate analogue country and recitals 33 to 38 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Glede na navedeno se dokončno sklene, da je ZDA primerna primerljiva država, zato se uvodne izjave od 33 do 38 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
In the absence of any comments concerning the determination of normal value, the provisional findings in recitals 39 to 44 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih pripomb v zvezi z določitvijo normalne vrednosti, se začasne ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav od 39 do 44 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
In the absence of any comments concerning the determination of export price, the content of recital 45 of the provisional Regulation is hereby confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih pripomb v zvezi z določitvijo izvozne cene, se vsebina uvodne izjave 45 začasne uredbe potrdi.
Following provisional disclosure, one exporting producer pointed out that the simplification applied to the product control number (in order to increase the level of comparability between the product concerned and the like product from the analogue country) resulted in an unfair comparison as it treated several types of the seamless pipes and tubes as one product category.
Po začasnem razkritju je en proizvajalec izvoznik poudaril, da je poenostavitev, ki se je uporabila pri kontrolni številki izdelka (da bi se povečala stopnja primerljivosti med zadevnim izdelkom in podobnim izdelkom iz primerljive države), povzročila nepravično primerjavo, saj je obravnavala več vrst brezšivnih cevi kot eno kategorijo izdelka.
Following this comment, it was decided that a different regrouping of the product control numbers that would allow for a similar level of comparability can be applied — namely with regard to pipe diameter and wall thickness.
Po tej pripombi je bila sprejeta odločitev, da se lahko uporabijo različne prerazvrstitve kontrolnih številk izdelka, ki bodo omogočile podobno stopnjo primerljivosti, in sicer glede premera cevi in debeline sten.
Following provisional disclosure, Chinese export prices at ex-works level have been revised downwards in order to take into account all transport costs.
Po začasnem razkritju so bile kitajske izvozne cene na ravni cene franko tovarna popravljene navzdol, tako da so se upoštevali vsi prevozni stroški.
At the same time, normal value was revised upwards due to some corrections concerning allowances for transport and discounts.
Obenem je bila normalna vrednost popravljena navzgor zaradi nekaj popravkov v zvezi z nadomestili za prevoz in znižanji.
