During the RIP imports of the product concerned from China amounted to approximately 21000 tonnes.
Med OPP je uvoz zadevnega izdelka s Kitajske znašal približno 21000 ton.
The unit price was EUR 1210 per tonne on average (see recital (57)).
Cena na enoto je bila v povprečju 1210 EUR na tono (glej uvodno izjavo(57)).
During the same period the average Union unit selling price was far above this price making the Union market very attractive to Chinese exporters should the measures be allowed to lapse.
V istem obdobju je bila povprečna prodajna cena Unije na enoto znatno višja, zato bi bil v primeru izteka ukrepov trg EU za kitajske izvoznike zelo privlačen.
Volume and prices of Chinese exports to third countries
Obseg in cene kitajskega izvoza v tretje države
Based on the data provided by the cooperating Chinese exporting producer it was found that this company exported larger quantities to third countries than to the Union and at prices significantly below those of Union producers on the Union market and also below Chinese export prices to the Union.
Na podlagi podatkov, ki jih je predložil sodelujoči kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik, je bilo ugotovljeno, da je ta družba v tretje države izvažala večje količine kot v EU in po cenah, ki so bile znatno nižje od cen proizvajalcev Unije na trgu EU ter tudi nižje od kitajskih izvoznih cen za EU.
This is confirmed by publicly available Chinese statistics which showed that for most of the investigation period Chinese companies exported mainly to Asian countries at prices far below those of their exports to the Union market.
To potrjujejo javno dostopni kitajski statistični podatki, ki so pokazali, da so kitajske družbe večji del obdobja preiskave izvažale predvsem v azijske države po cenah, ki so bile znatno nižje od cen njihovega izvoza na trg Unije.
In these circumstances, if measures are allowed to lapse, Chinese exporting producers may re-direct these sales to the higher priced Union market but still at dumped prices that would undercut those of the Union industry.
V teh okoliščinah bi ob izteku ukrepov kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki lahko to prodajo preusmerili na trg Unije, kjer so cene višje, a še vedno po dampinških cenah, ki bi nelojalno zniževale cene industrije Unije.
Limited information is available on the domestic prices in China.
O domačih cenah na Kitajskem so na voljo le omejene informacije.
However, based on the questionnaire reply from the sole cooperating Chinese company, this company sold the product concerned on its domestic market at a price far below that of its exports to third countries and to the Union.
Vendar je na podlagi izpolnjenega vprašalnika edine sodelujoče kitajske družbe ta družba zadevni izdelek prodajala na svojem domačem trgu po ceni, ki je bila znatno nižja od cene njenega izvoza v tretje države in v EU.
The investigation showed that, whilst the import volumes of the product concerned in the RIP were relatively high, the level of dumping found for these imports was significant.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je bil obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka v OPP sicer sorazmerno visok, vendar pa je bila za ta uvoz ugotovljena znatna stopnja dampinga.
In view of the spare capacity available in China, which largely exceeds total Union consumption, the significant difference in prices charged to the Union and third countries and the resulting attractiveness of the Union market, as showed in recital (41) above, to the Chinese exporting producers, it is concluded that there is a strong likelihood of increased dumped imports into the Union should measures be allowed to lapse.
Glede na prosto zmogljivost, ki je na voljo na Kitajskem, ki znatno presega celotno potrošnjo EU, bistveno razliko v cenah, ki se zaračunavajo v EU in v tretjih državah, ter posledično privlačnost trga Unije za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi(41), se sklene, da je velika verjetnost, da se ob izteku ukrepov dampinški uvoz v Unijo poveča.
DEFINITION OF THE UNION INDUSTRY
OPREDELITEV INDUSTRIJE UNIJE
As in the original investigation, there is only one producer of FA in the Union: TransFurans Chemicals, Belgium (TFC).
Enako kot v prvotni preiskavi je v Uniji le en proizvajalec FA: TransFurans Chemicals, Belgija („TFC“).
Accordingly, the production of TFC constitutes the total Union production within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
V skladu s tem predstavlja proizvodnja TFC celotno proizvodnjo Unije v smislu člena 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
The Union production is fully integrated in a single economic entity which consists of three companies and operates as follows:
Proizvodnja Unije je v celoti združena v enem samem gospodarskem subjektu, ki ga sestavljajo tri družbe in deluje takole:
TFC transforms the raw material, furfural, delivered by the mother company Central Romana Corporation (CRC), Dominican Republic, into the product concerned.
TFC v zadevni izdelek predela surovino, furfural, ki jo dobavlja matična družba Central Romana Corporation („CRC“), Dominikanska republika.
International Furan Chemicals (IFC) situated in the Netherlands acts as the worldwide sales agent for the product concerned produced by TFC.
International Furan Chemicals („IFC“) s sedežem na Nizozemskem je prodajni zastopnik za zadevni izdelek, ki ga TFC proizvaja za celi svet.
TFC, IFC and CRC are related through common ownership.
TFC, IFC in CRC so povezane prek skupnega lastništva.
Based on the above, TFC and its related company IFC constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Articles 5(4) and 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi navedenega predstavljata TFC in njena povezana družba IFC industrijo Unije v smislu členov 5(4) in 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
It should be noted, that in order to make a meaningful assessment of certain injury indicators, it was necessary to take into account also certain data from CRC.
Treba je opozoriti, da je bilo za smiselno oceno nekaterih kazalnikov škode treba upoštevati tudi nekatere podatke podjetja CRC.
SITUATION ON THE UNION MARKET
RAZMERE NA TRGU UNIJE
Given that the Union industry comprises only one company, specific data relating to the Union industry, as reported in the verified questionnaire replies, consumption and the market share of the Chinese exporting producers as well as other third countries’ imports have been ed in order to preserve the confidentiality of the data submitted in accordance with Article 19 of the basic Regulation.
Glede na to, da industrijo Unije predstavlja le ena družba, so bili nekateri podatki v zvezi z industrijo Unije iz preverjenih izpolnjenih vprašalnikov, potrošnjo in tržnim deležem kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ter uvozom drugih tretjih držav izraženi z indeksi, da se ohrani zaupnost predloženih podatkov skladu s členom 19 osnovne uredbe.
Union consumption was calculated on the basis of the combined volume of sales by the Union industry in the Union of its own produced FA, imports from China as well as imports from other third countries.
Potrošnja Unije je bila izračunana na podlagi skupnega obsega prodaje industrije Unije njene lastne proizvodnje FA v Uniji, uvoza s Kitajske ter uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav.
With regard to the import volumes from the country concerned, and as during the original investigation, Chinese official export statistics were used rather than Eurostat import statistics, since the former appeared to be more accurate in view of the fact that certain data in Eurostat concerning this product were classified as ‘secret’ and therefore not publicly available.
Ob upoštevanju obsega uvoza iz zadevne države in dejstva, da so se v prvotni preiskavi namesto Eurostatovih statističnih podatkov o uvozu uporabili kitajski uradni statistični podatki o izvozu, ki so bili natančnejši glede na to, da so bili nekateri podatki Eurostata glede tega izdelka označeni kot „zaupni“ in zato niso bili javno dostopni.
As far as the import volumes of other third countries are concerned Eurostat statistics were used since no other more reliable information was available.
Za obseg uvoza drugih tretjih držav so bili uporabljeni statistični podatki Eurostata, saj zanesljivejših ni bilo na voljo.

On this basis and as shown in table 1 above, Union consumption increased significantly during the period under consideration, i.e. by 66 %.
Na podlagi tega in v skladu s preglednico 1 se je potrošnja Unije v obravnavanem obdobju znatno povečala, tj. za 66 %.
It is noted that the above development may be affected by the possible existence of secret data concerning imports of Thailand as mentioned below in recital (61).
Opozarja se, da so na navedeni razvoj lahko vplivali morebitni zaupni podatki o uvozu s Tajske, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (61).

The import volume from China increased by 31 % during the period considered, from 16010 tonnes in 2005 to 21002 tons in the RIP, while market share decreased by 21 % during the period considered.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je količina uvoza s Kitajske povečala za 31 %, s 16010 ton v 2005 na 21002 ton v OPP, medtem ko se je tržni delež zmanjšal za 21 %.
This development has to be seen against the background of the significant increase of Union consumption by 66 % during the same period.
Pri tem razvoju je treba upoštevati, da se je potrošnja Unije v istem obdobju znatno povečala, tj. za 66 %.
It should be noted that the Union industry was itself importing between 5000 and 9000 tons during the RIP of the product concerned from China which it re-sold on the Union market.
Opozoriti je treba, da je industrija Unije med OPP s Kitajske sama uvozila med 5000 in 9000 ton zadevnega izdelka, ki ga je prodala naprej na trgu Unije.
The Union industry was therefore also the main importer of the product concerned from China.
Industrija Unije je bila zato tudi glavni uvoznik zadevnega izdelka s Kitajske.
Imports were done by the Union industry because, producing already at full capacity (see recitals (64) and (65) below), it was not able to meet the demand in the Union market.
Industrija Unije je uvažala zato, ker kljub proizvodnji s polno zmogljivostjo (glej uvodni izjavi (64) in (65)) ni mogla zadovoljiti povpraševanja na trgu Unije.
Average import prices from China increased over the period considered by 36 %, i.e. from 887 EUR/ton in 2005 to 1210 EUR/ton during the RIP.
Povprečne uvozne cene s Kitajske so se v obravnavanem obdobju zvišale za 36 %, tj. z 887 EUR/tono leta 2005 na 1210 EUR/tono med OPP.
The comparison of the CIF import price at Union frontier charged to independent customers, including post-importation costs, with the Union industry’s ex-works prices, for the same product types, revealed that Chinese import prices were not undercutting the Union industry’s sales price during the RIP.
Primerjava uvoznih cen CIF, ki se na mejah Unije zaračunavajo neodvisnim strankam, vključno s stroški po uvozu, s cenami franko tovarna industrije Unije za iste vrste izdelka je pokazala, da kitajske uvozne cene v OPP niso nelojalno nižale prodajnih cen industrije Unije.

It is noted that Eurostat data for Thailand show an increase in import volume from insignificant quantities in 2005 and 2006 to 10660 tonnes in 2007 and 11450 tonnes during the RIP, with a significant increase in its market share from an index of 100 to 1044 during the period under consideration.
Ugotovljeno je, da podatki Eurostata za Tajsko kažejo povišanje uvozne količine z neznatnih količin v letih 2005 in 2006 na 10660 ton v letu 2007 ter 11450 ton med OPP, z bistvenim povečanjem tržnega deleža v obravnavanem obdobju z indeksa 100 na 1044.
However, it is noted that Eurostat data contained some secret data with regard to Thai imports during 2005 and 2006 and the increase in imports and market share was in fact lower as shown above.
Vendar se poudarja, da so podatki Eurostata vsebovali nekatere zaupne podatke v zvezi s tajskim uvozom v letih 2005 in 2006 in da je bilo povečanje uvoza in tržnega deleža v resnici nižje od prikazanega.
Import prices from Thailand increased by 23 % over the period considered and were above Chinese prices as well as above the Union industry’s prices during the RIP.
Uvozne cene s Tajske so se v obravnavanem obdobju povišale za 23 % in bile precej višje od cen industrije Unije med OPP.
Although imports from South Africa increased during the period considered, they remained at a relatively low level with price levels similar to the Thai imports.
Čeprav se je uvoz iz Južne Afrike v obravnavanem obdobju povečal, je ostal na razmeroma nizki ravni z ravnjo cen, podobno tajskemu uvozu.
Imports from other third countries did not represent significant volumes.
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav ni predstavljal znatnih količin.
The Union industry’s production increased by 8 % during the period under consideration.
Proizvodnja industrije Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 8 %.
The production capacity of the Union industry remained stable during this period.
Proizvodna zmogljivost industrije Unije je v tem obdobju ostala stabilna.
Capacity utilisation increased by 8 % during the period considered, as such reaching full capacity.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 8 % in tako je bila dosežena polna zmogljivost.
The Union industry was from 2006 onwards producing above its theoretical installed capacity.
Industrija Unije je od leta 2006 naprej proizvajala nad svojo teoretično nameščeno zmogljivostjo.

Stocks decreased by 50 % during the period considered which was due to the high demand during this period, in particular during the RIP, and the Union industry’s insufficient capacity to supply the Union market.
Zaloge so se v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšale za 50 % zaradi visokega povpraševanja tem obdobju, zlasti med OPP, in nezadostne zmogljivosti industrije Unije za oskrbo trga Unije.
As a consequence, stocks were continuously reduced.
Zato so se zaloge stalno zmanjševale.

The Union industry sales volume increased by 51 % from 2005 to 2006, reaching a peak in 2006, but then continuously decreased.
Obseg prodaje industrije Unije se je od leta 2005 do 2006 povečal za 51 % in leta 2006 dosegel vrh, potem pa se je stalno zmanjševal.
At the same time, the market share of the Union industry decreased by 19 %.
Istočasno se je za 19 % zmanjšal tržni delež industrije Unije.
This is due to the fact that demands to the Union industry increased more than the overall increase in sales volume.
Razlog je v dejstvu, da se je povpraševanje pri industriji Unije povečalo bolj kot skupno povečanje obsega prodaje.
As mentioned above, since the Union industry already produced at full capacity it was not able to increase its sales volume to the same extent as the increase in consumption.
Ker je industrija Unije že proizvajala s polno zmogljivostjo, kot je navedeno, ni bila sposobna svoje prodaje povečati v istem obsegu kot je bilo povečanje potrošnje.

Unit selling prices of the Union industry first decreased by 16 % from 2005 to 2006, and increased afterwards continuously.
Prodajne cene na enoto industrije Unije so se najprej znižale za 16 % od leta 2005 do 2006, nato pa so se stalno zviševale.
Over the total period considered, average prices of the Union industry increased thus by 31 %.
V celotnem obravnavanem obdobju so se povprečne cene industrije Unije tako zvišale za 31 %.

Factors affecting Union prices
Dejavniki, ki vplivajo na cene Unije
The pressure from demand throughout the period considered led to, as a consequence, a significant increase in prices.
Pritisk povpraševanja v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju je posledično privedel do znatnega povišanja cen.
The high demand during the RIP even caused temporary shortages on the Union market.
Veliko povpraševanje med OPP je povzročilo celo občasna pomanjkanja na trgu Unije.
Price levels on the Union market were generally high throughout the period considered.
Ravni cen na trgu Unije so bile v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju na splošno visoke.
The dumped imports from China did not exert any significant price pressure during this period.
Dampinški uvoz s Kitajske v tem obdobju ni povzročil znatnega cenovnega pritiska.
Thus, the same increasing trend can also be observed for the Chinese imports and the imports from the other third countries, with the exception of 2006, when both volumes and prices dropped.
Enak trend je opaziti tudi pri kitajskem uvozu in uvozu iz drugih tretjih držav, z izjemo leta 2006, ko so se znižale tako količine kot cene.
The sales margins were less influenced by the full cost of production, and the price increases were mainly due to market developments.
Na prodajo so manj vplivali celotni stroški proizvodnje in razlog za rast cen je bil predvsem razvoj trga.
This is also evidenced by the exceptional increase in cost in 2006 (due to an exceptional increase in the fuel oil costs for the production of FF) which did not have a direct impact on the Union industry’s sales price which decreased during this same year.
To dokazuje tudi izjemno zvišanje stroškov leta 2006 (zaradi izjemnega povečanja stroškov kurilnega olja za proizvodnjo FF), kar ni neposredno vplivalo na prodajne cene industrije Unije, ki so se v istem letu znižale.
Employment remained overall stable during the period considered, while productivity increased by 6 % during the same period which is due to the increase in production volume.
Zaposlenost je v obravnavanem obdobju ostala stabilna, medtem ko se je produktivnost v istem obdobju povečala za 6 % zaradi povečanja obsega proizvodnje.
The processing of FF into FA is a rather simple process and therefore not very labour intensive.
Predelava FF v FA je dokaj enostaven postopek in zato ni zelo delovno intenziven.
The average wages decreased by 4 % during the period considered.
Povprečne plače v obravnavanem obdobju so se znižale za 4 %.
The profitability of the Union industry increased overall significantly from 2005 to the RIP, i.e. by 43 % and reached a very high level during the RIP, exceeding by far the target profit set during the original investigation (15,17 %).
Dobičkonosnost industrije Unije se je od leta 2005 do OPP znatno povečala, tj. za 43 %, in med OPP dosegla zelo visoko raven, ki je bistveno presegala ciljni dobiček, določen v prvotni preiskavi (15,17 %).
It is noted that the profitability of the Union industry reached high levels throughout the period considered with the exception of 2006.
Opozarja se, da je bila dobičkonosnost industrije Unije zelo visoka v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, razen leta 2006.
In 2006, the exceptional high costs for fuel oil, which is one of the main cost factors for the production of FF, combined with low sales prices resulted in losses for the Union industry.
Leta 2006 so izjemno visoke cene kurilnega olja, ki je eden glavnih dejavnikov pri proizvodnji FF, in nizke prodajne cene privedle do izgub industrije Unije.
Investments increased during the period under consideration although the total amount was not significant, being equivalent to only a small percentage of the profits obtained.
Naložbe so se v obravnavanem obdobju povečale, vendar skupni znesek ni bil znaten, saj je znašal le majhen delež doseženega dobička.
The Union industry did not invest in new capacities but these investments were rather in repairs and maintenance.
Industrija Unije ni vlagala v nove zmogljivosti, temveč so naložbe zajemale predvsem popravila in vzdrževanje.
The investigation also showed that the return on investments, i.e. pre-tax net profit of the like product expressed as a percentage of the net book value of fixed assets allocated to the like product, increased notably during the period considered.
Preiskava je tudi pokazala, da se je donosnost naložb, tj. neto dobiček podobnega izdelka pred obdavčitvijo, izražen kot odstotek neto knjigovodske vrednosti osnovnih sredstev, pripisane podobnemu izdelku, med obravnavanim obdobjem znatno povečala.
The investigation did not bring into light any evidence that the Union industry has major problems in raising capital.
Preiskava ni pokazala, da bi imela industrija Unije večje težave z zbiranjem kapitala.
Cash flow followed a similar trend as profitability, increasing significantly during the period under consideration.
Denarni tok je sledil podobnemu trendu kot dobičkonosnost, saj se je v obravnavanem obdobju znatno povečal.
The Union industry did not directly benefit from the growth of the market during the period considered, since, while it increased its sales volume it lost overall market share.
Industrija Unije ni imela neposredne koristi od rasti trga med obravnavanim obdobjem, saj je, medtem ko je povečala svoj obseg prodaje, izgubila skupni tržni delež.
However, this situation is due to the Union industry’s decision to maintain its production capacity at the same levels throughout the period considered.
Vendar je za to kriva odločitev industrije Unije, da ohrani proizvodno zmogljivost na istih ravneh v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
Indeed, although profitability was high, and demand was increasing, no investments were made to increase capacity.
Kljub visoki dobičkonosnosti in rastočemu povpraševanju ni bilo nobenih naložb za povečanje zmogljivosti.
During the RIP, despite the measures in force substantial dumping continued albeit at lower levels than established in the original investigation, based both on the data obtained from the sole cooperating exporting producer and the calculations based on facts available (Chinese statistics).
Na podlagi podatkov edinega sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika in izračunov na podlagi razpoložljivih statističnih podatkov (kitajske statistike), se je med OPP kljub veljavnim ukrepom nadaljeval znaten damping, čeprav na nižjih ravneh, kot so bile ugotovljene v prvotni preiskavi.
Even if the Union industry has had the chance to recover from past dumping, in particular in terms of sales volume, sales prices and profitability, dumping margins are still significant.
Čeprav je imela industrija Unije možnost okrevati od preteklega dampinga, zlasti glede obsega prodaje, prodajnih cen in dobičkonosnosti, so stopnje dampinga še vedno znatne.

Obseg izvoza industrije Unije
The Union industry’s main export market is the USA.
Glavni izvozni trg industrije Unije so ZDA.
Although decreasing in 2006 and 2007, export levels of 2005 were almost reached in RIP.
Čeprav se je izvoz leta 2006 in 2007 zmanjševal, je bila v OPP skoraj dosežena raven izvoza iz leta 2005.
