As mentioned above, in the absence of cooperation from any exporting producers in the PRC and Thailand, this examination had to be based on information available to the Commission from other sources, such as the review request, Eurostat, Chinese Customs statistics, and the information gathered in the analogue country.
Ta preiskava je morala, kot je navedeno zgoraj, zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz LRK in Tajske temeljiti na informacijah, ki so bile Komisiji na voljo iz drugih virov, kot so zahtevek za pregled, podatki Eurostata, statistični podatki kitajskih carinskih organov in informacije, zbrane v primerljivi državi.
In accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, and in the absence of any cooperation from Thai exporting producers, the normal value was based on the data provided in the request, i.e. estimated cost of manufacturing in Thailand to which was added 15 % for SGA and 11 % for profit.
V skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe in zaradi nesodelovanja tajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je normalna vrednost za Tajsko temeljila na podatkih iz zahtevka, tj. ocenjenih proizvodnih stroških na Tajskem, katerim je bilo dodanih 15 % za prodajne, splošne in administrativne odhodke ter 11 % za dobiček.
There was no indication that this level of profit would exceed the profit normally realised by other exporters or producers on sales of products of the same general category in the domestic market of the country of origin as provided for in Article 2(6)(c).
Nič ni kazalo, da bi ta stopnja dobička presegala dobiček, ki ga običajno dosegajo drugi izvozniki ali proizvajalci pri prodaji izdelkov enake splošne kategorije na notranjem trgu države porekla, kot je določeno v členu 2(6)(c).
In accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, and in the absence of cooperation from Thai exporting producers, the export price was calculated by using Eurostat data.
V skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe in zaradi nesodelovanja tajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je bila izvozna cena izračunana na podlagi podatkov Eurostata.
To ensure a fair comparison the export price was adjusted for inland and ocean freight, insurance, commissions and packing in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Za zagotovitev poštene primerjave je bila izvozna cena v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe prilagojena za stroške notranjega in čezmorskega prevoza, zavarovanja, provizij in pakiranja.
In order to calculate the dumping margin, the Commission compared the weighted average normal value with the average export price to the Community at ex-factory level and at the same level of trade, in accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je za izračun stopnje dampinga v skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe primerjala tehtano povprečno normalno vrednost s povprečno ceno izvoza v Skupnost na ravni franko tovarna in na enaki trgovinski ravni.
This comparison showed the existence of a dumping margin for Thailand of 17,8 %, being equal to the amount by which the normal value established exceeded the export price.
Ta primerjava je pokazala, da je stopnja dampinga za Tajsko 17,8 % in je enaka znesku, za katerega je določena normalna vrednost presegala izvozno ceno.
Normal value: Analogue Country
Normalna vrednost: primerljiva država
The existing measures provide for a single countrywide duty on all imports into the Community of the like product originating in the PRC.
Obstoječi ukrepi določajo eno samo dajatev na ravni države za celoten uvoz podobnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK v Skupnost.
Accordingly, the normal value was determined on the basis of information obtained in a market economy third country (the analogue country).
V skladu s tem je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi informacij, pridobljenih v tretji državi s tržnim gospodarstvom („primerljiva država“).
In the original investigation Thailand was chosen as analogue country.
V prvotni preiskavi je bila za primerljivo državo izbrana Tajska.
However, the United States of America was envisaged as analogue country in the notice of initiation as the Community industry in its review request had indicated that it was now a more appropriate choice than Thailand.
Vendar so bile v obvestilu o začetku kot primerljiva država predvidene Združene države Amerike, saj je industrija Skupnosti v svojem zahtevku za pregled navedla, da so Združene države zdaj ustreznejša izbira kot Tajska.
However, all efforts were made to find possible alternatives in other third countries, but no companies agreed to cooperate, except for one company in the USA.
Komisija si je prizadevala najti mogoče alternative v drugih tretjih državah, vendar razen ene družbe v ZDA ni hotela sodelovati nobena družba.
The choice of the USA, in accordance with Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation, was considered to be appropriate due to its market size, the level of imports and the strong competition on this market resulting therefrom.
V skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe se je izbira ZDA zdela ustrezna zaradi velikosti njihovega trga, ravni uvoza in posledične močne konkurence na tem trgu.
Furthermore, as no Thai exporters cooperated in the investigation, it was considered more appropriate to base the normal value for the PRC on the verified data of the cooperating US company.
Poleg tega se je glede na to, da pri preiskavi ni sodeloval noben tajski izvoznik, zdelo ustreznejše normalno vrednost za LRK osnovati na preverjenih podatkih sodelujoče družbe iz ZDA.
Moreover, no comments were received from any interested party after the publication of the notice of initiation about the proposal to use the USA as analogue country.
Nobena zainteresirana stranka po objavi obvestila o začetku tudi ni poslala pripomb glede predloga, naj se za primerljivo državo uporabijo ZDA.
As a result, the normal value was based on the data provided by the producer in the USA.
Zato je normalna vrednost temeljila na podatkih, ki jih je predložil proizvajalec v ZDA.
As regards the exports to the Community, given that no exporting producers in the PRC cooperated, findings had to be based on facts available, in accordance with Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation.
Zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz LRK je bilo treba ugotovitve glede izvoza v Skupnost osnovati na razpoložljivih dejstvih v skladu s členom 18(1) osnovne uredbe.
Following the same methodology as in the original investigation, the export price was determined on the basis of Chinese customs statistics.
Izvozna cena je bila določena na podlagi enake metodologije kot v prvotni preiskavi, tj. statističnih podatkov kitajskih carinskih organov.
These data were checked against data from Eurostat.
Ti podatki so bili preverjeni glede na podatke Eurostata.
Considerable differences in both quantity and price were found.
Ugotovljene so bile precejšnje razlike pri količini in ceni.
Based on previously documented evidence of circumvention from the PRC which indicates that the use of Eurostat data were not sufficiently accurate, it was considered appropriate not to use them in this review.
Na podlagi predhodno dokumentiranih dokazov o izogibanju v LRK, ki kažejo, da podatki Eurostata niso bili dovolj natančni, se je zdelo primerno, da se v tem pregledu ne uporabijo.
For the purpose of a fair comparison, and in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences in respect of transport (ocean freight), insurance costs, credit cost and broker fees, which were considered to affect prices and price comparability.
Za namen pravične primerjave in v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe so bile v obliki prilagoditev ustrezno upoštevane razlike glede prevoza (čezmorski prevoz), stroškov zavarovanja, stroškov kredita in posredniških provizij, za katere se je štelo, da vplivajo na cene in primerljivost cen.
In accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value, on an ex-factory USA basis, was compared to the weighted average export price on an ex-factory China basis, at the same level of trade.
V skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe se je tehtana povprečna normalna vrednost na osnovi franko tovarna v ZDA primerjala s tehtano povprečno izvozno ceno na osnovi franko tovarna na Kitajskem na enaki trgovinski ravni.
The above comparison showed the existence of 100 % dumping margin for the PRC.
Zgornja primerjava je pokazala obstoj 100-odstotne stopnje dampinga za LRK.
The investigation has revealed that, imports from both countries have continued at high dumped levels.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je uvoz iz obeh držav še naprej nadaljeval ob visokih stopnjah dampinga.
The investigation did not reveal any reason why the level of dumping would disappear or decrease if the measures were to be repealed.
S preiskavo ni bil ugotovljen noben razlog, zakaj bi raven dampinga izginila ali se znižala, če bi razveljavili ukrepe.
It was therefore concluded that there is a likelihood of continuation of dumping.
Zato se sklene, da obstaja verjetnost nadaljnjega dampinga.
In addition, it has to be noted that, despite the high level of the anti-dumping duties imposed on their exports, the volumes of imports from these countries have increased massively.
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da se je obseg uvoza iz teh držav občutno povečal kljub visoki stopnji protidampinških dajatev, uvedeni na izvoz iz teh držav.
However, it was considered appropriate to also examine whether there would be a recurrence of dumping in increased export volumes should the existing measures be repealed.
Vseeno se je zdelo primerno proučiti tudi, ali bi se pri večjih izvoznih količinah ponovno pojavil damping, če bi se obstoječi ukrepi razveljavili.
For the purpose of the examination of a likelihood of recurrence of dumping, the following factors were assessed: the evolution of the export and/or production capacity of the countries concerned, the background of circumvention in the case of the PRC and the situation in the export behavior on third country markets.
Za namen proučitve verjetnosti ponovnega pojava dampinga so bili ovrednoteni naslednji dejavniki: razvoj izvozne in/ali proizvodne zmogljivosti zadevnih držav, ozadje izogibanja v primeru LRK in odziv izvoznikov na trgih tretjih držav.
In the absence of cooperation from any exporting producers in Thailand, this examination had to be based on information available to the Commission from other sources i.e. the request.
Zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz Tajske je morala ta preiskava temeljiti na informacijah, ki so bile Komisiji na voljo iz drugih virov, tj. zahtevka za pregled.
The Thai annual production capacity was estimated according to the request, at 63000 tonnes, for a domestic consumption of only 4200 tonnes, which made the Thai industry heavily dependent on exports.
Letna proizvodna zmogljivost Tajske je bila na podlagi zahtevka ocenjena na 63000 ton, pri čemer je domača potrošnja znašala samo 4200 ton, zaradi česar je bila tajska industrija močno odvisna od izvoza.
The investigation has showed that no other market worldwide could absorb this available capacity since Thailand is already subject to anti-dumping measures.
Preiskava je pokazala, da noben drug svetovni trg ne bi mogel pokriti te razpoložljive zmogljivosti, saj za Tajsko že veljajo protidampinški ukrepi.
These measures range from 10,68 % to 52,6 % in the USA for a product largely overlapping with the one concerned with this investigation, limited to an inside diameter of 14 inches.
Ti ukrepi se za izdelek, ki v veliki meri ustreza izdelku iz te preiskave in je omejen na notranji premer 14 palcev, v ZDA gibljejo med 10,68 % in 52,6 %.
In addition, based on past experience and according to the request for this review, it seems that there is a general huge overcapacity worldwide and especially in South-East Asia.
Poleg tega se na podlagi preteklih izkušenj in zahtevka za ta pregled zdi, da so po vsem svetu in zlasti v jugovzhodni Aziji na splošno neznanske presežne zmogljivosti.
Consequently if measures were allowed to lapse, it is likely that a substantial part of the Thai excess capacity would be directed to the EU market, in the light of existing restrictions and the high level of the measures in force in other main markets.
Zaradi obstoječih omejitev in visoke stopnje veljavnih ukrepov na drugih glavnih trgih bi se zato z ukinitvijo ukrepov bistven del tajske presežne zmogljivosti verjetno preusmeril na trg EU.
Production and capacity utilisation
Proizvodnja in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Given the absence of cooperation from Chinese exporting producers, the Commission services had to make use of the facts available.
Zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov so morale službe Komisije poseči po razpoložljivih dejstvih.
Since little information is known about the Chinese industry, the following conclusions rely on the information contained in the request and Chinese customs statistics.
O kitajski industriji ni veliko informacij, zato se naslednje ugotovitve opirajo na informacije iz zahtevka in statističnih podatkov kitajskih carinskih organov.
Support for these findings was also found in information that was made public in the framework of similar proceedings in the USA.
Te ugotovitve potrjujejo tudi informacije, ki so bile objavljene v okviru podobnih postopkov v ZDA.
According to these sources, the total Chinese production capacity for the product concerned was around 365000 tonnes per year.
V skladu s temi viri je celotna kitajska proizvodna zmogljivost za zadevni izdelek znašala okrog 365000 ton letno.
On this basis, the Chinese spare capacity would reach 74000 tonnes which in itself was almost sufficient to supply the total EU consumption (79813 tonnes).
Na podlagi tega bi bile neizkoriščene zmogljivosti Kitajske 74000 ton, kar bi samo po sebi skoraj zadostovalo za preskrbo celotne potrošnje EU (79813 ton).
Since the PRC, like Thailand, is also subject to anti-dumping measures ranging from 35,06 % to 182,9 % in the USA it is likely that a substantial part of the Chinese excess capacity would be directed to the EU market.
Ker za LRK tako kot za Tajsko v ZDA tudi veljajo protidampinški ukrepi, ki se gibljejo med 35,06 % in 182,9 %, bi se bistven del kitajske presežne zmogljivosti verjetno preusmeril na trg EU.
The fact that, despite the existence of high anti-dumping duties (58,6 %) in force against Chinese imports, the Chinese exporting producers managed to increase substantially their exports to the EU from 2550 tonnes in 2004 to 10268 tonnes in the RIP indicates the continued strong interest of Chinese exporters in the EU market.
Dejstvo, da je kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom kljub obstoju visokih protidampinških dajatev (58,6 %), ki so v veljavi za uvoz s Kitajske, uspelo bistveno povečati izvoz v EU, in sicer z 2550 ton leta 2004 na 10268 ton v OPP, kaže na nadaljevanje velikega interesa kitajskih izvoznikov za trg EU.
Background for circumvention
Ozadje izogibanja
In addition, Chinese exporters have demonstrated their continuing determination to export to the EU by any means as evidenced by the numerous attempts to circumvent the measures imposed by Regulation (EC) No 964/2003 by exporting successively through Taiwan, Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines.
Poleg tega so kitajski izvozniki pokazali, da so še naprej odločeni izvažati v EU na kakršen koli način, kot dokazujejo številni poskusi izogibanja ukrepom, uvedenih z Uredbo (ES) št. 964/2003, z zaporednim izvažanjem prek Tajvana, Indonezije, Šrilanke in Filipinov.
It is even more clear, on the basis of the Chinese customs statistics, that the EU is a very attractive market for the Chinese exporting producers since they achieved some of their highest export prices (albeit dumped) when exporting to the EU.
Na podlagi statističnih podatkov kitajskih carinskih organov je še bolj jasno, da je EU zelo privlačen trg za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, saj so med izvažanjem v EU dosegli nekatere svojih najvišjih izvoznih cen (čeprav dampinških).
The investigation has shown that both exporting producers in the PRC and Thailand have continued their dumping practices during the RIP.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so proizvajalci izvozniki v LRK in na Tajskem v OPP nadaljevali dampinško prakso.
Both countries together reached 99000 tonnes of spare capacity which was significantly more than the total Community production during the RIP (86723 tonnes) and even more than the total Community consumption during the same period (79813 tonnes).
Obe državi skupaj sta dosegli 99000 ton neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti, kar je bilo bistveno več od celotne proizvodnje Skupnosti v OPP (86723 ton) in celo več od celotne potrošnje Skupnosti v enakem obdobju (79813 ton).
Given the fact that the PRC has a very large spare production capacity available and that it has already circumvented the measures, there is a strong likelihood that Chinese exporting producers would substantially increase their dumped exports of the product concerned to the Community in case existing measures were to be repealed.
Ob dejstvu, da ima LRK zelo veliko neizkoriščenih proizvodnih zmogljivosti in ker se je že izogibala ukrepom, obstaja velika verjetnost, da bi kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki bistveno povečali svoj dampinški izvoz zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost, če bi obstoječe ukrepe razveljavili.
With respect to Thailand it should be noted that since the Thai companies are export oriented and given the attractiveness of the Community market, it is very likely that, should the existing measures be repealed, these companies would resume their exports of the product concerned to the Community market in substantial volumes and at dumped prices.
Glede Tajske je treba omeniti, da sta tajski družbi izvozno usmerjeni in glede na dejstvo, da je trg Skupnosti zelo privlačen, je zelo verjetno, da bi v primeru razveljavitve obstoječih ukrepov ti družbi ponovno izvažali obravnavani izdelek na trg Skupnosti v znatnih količinah in po dampinških cenah.
Finally, reference is made to the practices of dumping by the Chinese and Thai exporting producers on the US market and the US anti-dumping measures which have been renewed in October 2005.
Nazadnje je treba omeniti še dampinško prakso kitajskih in tajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov na trgu ZDA in oktobra 2005 obnovljene protidampinške ukrepe ZDA.
In summary, it is highly probable that imports to the Community from the countries concerned will continue in significant quantities and at dumped prices, should the measures be repealed.
Skratka, zelo verjetno je, da se bo izdelek v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov ponovno uvažal iz zadevnih držav v Skupnost v znatnih količinah in po dampinških cenah.
The Community industry, in accordance with Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation consisted of the three Community producers on which behalf the request was lodged and which were also selected in the sample as well as six Community producers supporting the request.
Industrijo Skupnosti so v skladu s členom 4(1) osnovne uredbe sestavljali trije proizvajalci Skupnosti, v imenu katerih je bil vložen zahtevek in ki so bili tudi izbrani v vzorcu, ter šest proizvajalcev Skupnosti, ki podpirajo zahtevek.
On this basis, the Community industry represented a major proportion of the total Community production, i.e. in this case more than 76 %.
Na podlagi tega je industrija Skupnosti predstavljala večji delež celotne proizvodnje Skupnosti, tj. v tem primeru več kot 76 %.
Total Community production was determined on the basis of the information provided by the nine Community producers supporting the complaint and the estimated production volume of the non-cooperating Community producers provided in the request.
Celotna proizvodnja Skupnosti je bila določena na podlagi informacij, ki jih je predložilo devet proizvajalcev Skupnosti, ki podpirajo pritožbo, in ocenjenega obsega proizvodnje nesodelujočih proizvajalcev Skupnosti, navedenega v zahtevku.
The investigation revealed that a considerable part of the Community producers’ sales were made to stockists that in turn exported the product concerned outside the Community, i.e. these sales were not intended for consumption on the Community market.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je šel precejšen del prodaje proizvajalcev Skupnosti distributerjem z lastnim skladiščem, ki so zadevni izdelek nato izvozili iz Skupnosti, tj. ta prodaja ni bila namenjena potrošnji na trgu Skupnosti.
The export sales volume from these stockists to other third market countries could not be established during the investigation.
Med preiskavo ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti obsega izvoza teh distributerjev z lastnim skladiščem na druge trge tretjih držav.
The apparent Community consumption was therefore established on the basis of the total production volume in the Community as defined above in recital (53), and on the total Community import and export volume of the product concerned based on Eurostat data.
Očitna potrošnja Skupnosti se je zato ugotavljala na podlagi celotnega obsega proizvodnje v Skupnosti, kakor je določeno v uvodni izjavi 53, ter na podlagi skupnega obsega uvoza in izvoza Skupnosti zadevnega izdelka, ki temelji na podatkih Eurostata.
On this basis, during the period considered, the Community consumption increased by 28 %, from 62317 tonnes in 2004 to 79813 tonnes during the RIP.
Na podlagi tega se je v obravnavanem obdobju potrošnja Skupnosti povečala za 28 %, in sicer z 62317 ton v letu 2004 na 79813 ton v OPP.

In order to establish total import volumes of the product concerned from the PRC, it was considered appropriate to include imports from those countries to which the current anti-dumping measures had been extended pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation, i.e. Sri Lanka, Indonesia, the Philippines and Taiwan (see recital (2) and (4) above).
Za določitev celotnega obsega uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK se je zdelo primerno vključiti uvoz iz tistih držav, na katere so bili sedanji protidampinški ukrepi razširjeni v skladu s členom 13(3) osnovne uredbe, to so Šrilanka, Indonezija, Filipini in Tajvan (glej uvodni izjavi 2 in 4).
Indeed, it was considered that imports from these countries were in fact products originating in the PRC.
Dejansko se je štelo, da so bili uvoženi izdelki iz teh držav v resnici izdelki s poreklom iz LRK.
On this basis, total imported volume of TPFs from the PRC and Thailand increased from 6861 tonnes in 2004 to 17605 tonnes during the RIP, i.e. by 157 %.
Na podlagi tega se je celoten obseg uvoza pribora (fitingov) za cevi iz LRK in Tajske povečal s 6861 ton v letu 2004 na 17605 ton v OPP, tj. za 157 %.
The market share of these imports, expressed as a percentage of the Community consumption, increased from 11 % in 2004 to 22 % in the RIP.
Tržni delež tega uvoza, izražen kot odstotek potrošnje Skupnosti, se je povečal z 11 % v letu 2004 na 22 % v OPP.

Prices of the imports and undercutting
Cene uvoza in nelojalno nižanje cen
In the absence of cooperation from the exporting producers in the PRC and Thailand, the export price was based on Eurostat data.
Zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK in na Tajskem je bila izvozna cena izračunana na podlagi podatkov Eurostata.
For the reasons set out above in recital (56), the average export price from the PRC was also based on the average export prices from Sri Lanka, Indonesia and the Philippines, i.e. the countries to which the measures were extended because of circumvention practices.
Iz razlogov iz uvodne izjave 56 zgoraj, je bila povprečna izvozna cena iz LRK izračunana tudi na podlagi povprečnih izvoznih cen s Šrilanke, iz Indonezije in s Filipinov, tj. držav, na katere so bili ukrepi razširjeni zaradi prakse izogibanja.
