It was therefore decided to add these companies to the Annex of this Regulation and apply the same duty rate to these companies as to those who expressly cooperated but were not chosen in the sample.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da se te družbe dodajo v Prilogo k tej uredbi in da se zanje uporablja isti stopnja dajatve kot za tiste družbe, ki so izrecno sodelovale, a niso bile izbrane v vzorec.
These companies received disclosure of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to impose definitive measures and were invited to comment on the fact that it was proposed to add their names to the Annex of this Regulation.
Tem družbam so bila razkrita bistvena dejstva in premisleki, na podlagi česar naj bi se uvedli dokončni ukrepi, poleg tega pa so bile te družbe pozvane k predložitvi pripomb glede na dejstvo, da je bila predlagana vključitev njihovih imen v Prilogo k tej uredbi.
Following final disclosure, the USG welcomed the proposal to apply the weighted average duty to additional companies.
Po dokončnem razkritju je ameriška vlada pozdravila predlog za uporabo tehtane povprečne stopnje pri dodatnih družbah.
However, the USG considered that no explanation had been provided as to why other companies are made subject to the ‘all other companies’ rate.
Vendar je ameriška vlada menila, da ni bil pojasnjen razlog za sklep, da za druge družbe velja stopnja za „vse druge družbe“.
In this regard it is noted that for the companies that were invited to co-operate during the sampling exercise, explanations have already been given above.
V zvezi s tem se najprej opozarja, da so bile razlage v zvezi z družbami, ki so bile povabljene k sodelovanju med vzorčenjem, že navedene zgoraj.
Regarding possible US exporters/producers that were not individually notified of the investigation nor mentioned in the list referred to in recital (11), it is noted first of all that extensive efforts were made upon initiation of the proceeding to contact companies in the USA that might be concerned by this proceeding (see recitals (8) and (10) above).
Glede možnih izvoznikov/proizvajalcev, ki niso bili ne posamezno obveščeni o preiskavi ne navedeni na seznamu iz uvodne izjave (11), se najprej opozarja, da je bilo od samega začetka postopka vloženega veliko truda za vzpostavitev stika z družbami v ZDA, ki bi jih lahko postopek zadeval (glej uvodno izjavo (8) in (10)).
Furthermore, additional efforts were made subsequent to the imposition of provisional measures as mentioned in recital (10) above to identify other companies which resulted in the addition of more than 40 companies to the list of those to whom the weighted average duty would apply.
Poleg tega je bil po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov vložen še dodaten trud, kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (10), da bi se našle druge družbe, rezultat tega pa je bila vključitev več kot 40 dodatnih družb na seznam družb, za katere je bila predvidena uporaba tehtane povprečne stopnje.
It is considered that these extensive efforts have given every opportunity to biodiesel companies in the USA to make themselves known.
Šteje se, da so ta vztrajna prizadevanja družbam biodizla v ZDA omogočila, da se javijo.
In this regard, it is noted that the relevant industry association has been involved in the proceeding since its initiation.
V zvezi s tem se opozarja, da je združenje zadevne industrije od začetka vključeno v postopek.
Consequently, it is considered that the ‘all other companies’ rate of duty should be applied to companies that did not make themselves known.
Posledično se šteje, da je treba za družbe, ki se niso javile, uporabiti stopnjo dajatve za „vse druge družbe“.
One company that submitted a reply to the sampling form and was consequently listed in the Annex to the Provisional Regulation requested that its parent company be added to the list of companies in the Annex.
Ena od družb, ki je predložila izpolnjen obrazec za vzorčenje in je bila zato uvrščena na seznam v Prilogi k začasni uredbi, je zahtevala, naj se na seznam družb v Prilogi doda tudi njena matična družba.
This company also requested that the city location of the two companies be changed in the Annex to correctly reflect the address on the invoices of the companies.
Ta družba je še zahtevala, da se kraj sedeža obeh družb v tej prilogi spremeni, da bo natančno ustrezal naslovu na fakturah družb.
Having examined this company’s request, it was considered that the parent company should also be listed in the Annex to the current Regulation as it was mentioned in the company’s reply to the sampling form as the only related company involved in the biodiesel business.
Po proučitvi zahteve te družbe je bilo ugotovljeno, da je treba na seznam v Prilogi k sedanji uredbi uvrstiti tudi matično družbo, ker je bila na izpolnjenem obrazcu za vzorčenje, ki ga je predložila družba, navedena kot edina povezana družba, dejavna v industriji biodizla.
The city location for both companies is also being revised.
Popravljen bo tudi kraj sedeža obeh družb.
Two cooperating companies requested that their names be removed from the Annex as they claimed not to be exporting producers.
Dve sodelujoči družbi sta zahtevali umik svojih imen iz Priloge, ker sta trdili, da nista proizvajalki izvoznici.
The companies’ names have been removed accordingly.
Imeni družb sta bili ustrezno umaknjeni.
It is recalled that the investigation of subsidisation and injury covered the period from 1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Treba je opozoriti, da je preiskava subvencioniranja in škode zajela obdobje od 1. aprila 2007 do 31. marca 2008 („obdobje preiskave“ ali „OP“).
With respect to the trends relevant for the injury assessment, the Commission analysed data covering the period from January 2004 to the end of the IP (‘period considered’).
Komisija je ob upoštevanju trendov, pomembnih za oceno škode, analizirala podatke, ki zajemajo obdobje od januarja 2004 do konca OP („obravnavano obdobje“).
Sampling of Community producers and exporting producers in the USA
Vzorčenje proizvajalcev Skupnosti in proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz ZDA
In the absence of any comments concerning the sampling of exporting producers in the USA the provisional findings in recitals (6) to (10) of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih pripomb k vzorčenju proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz ZDA, se potrdijo začasne ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav od (6) do (10) začasne uredbe.
It is recalled that in the notice of initiation, the product allegedly being subsidised was defined as fatty-acid monoalkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoils from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin (commonly known as ‘biodiesel’), whether in pure form or in a blend.
Treba je opozoriti, da je bil v obvestilu o začetku izdelek, ki se domnevno subvencionira, opredeljen kot mono-alkilni estri maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinska plinska olja, pridobljeni s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora (splošno znani kot „biodizel“), v čisti obliki ali mešanici.
The complaint contained prima facie evidence that biodiesel and all blends, of biodiesel with mineral diesel, produced and subsidized in the USA and exported to the Community had affected the economic situation of the biodiesel producers in the Community.
V pritožbi so bili navedeni prima facie dokazi, da so biodizel in vse mešanice biodizla in mineralnega dizla, ki se proizvajajo in subvencionirajo v ZDA in izvažajo v Skupnost, vplivali na gospodarski položaj proizvajalcev biodizla v Skupnosti.
Consistent with the characteristics of the relevant US biodiesel producers and domestic market, the definition of the product concerned intended to cover biodiesel also when incorporated into the biodiesel blends.
V skladu z značilnostmi zadevnih proizvajalcev biodizla v ZDA in notranjega trga naj bi opredelitev zadevnega izdelka vključevala biodizel, tudi ko je ta del mešanic biodizla.
It was however considered that the definition of the product concerned as mentioned in the notice of initiation and in recital (20) above, could give rise to concerns as to what producers and what product types were intended to be covered by the investigation and those that were not.
Vendar se je štelo, da bi opredelitev zadevnega izdelka, kakor je navedena v obvestilu o začetku in uvodni izjavi (20), lahko sprožila dvome o tem, kateri proizvajalci in vrste izdelkov naj bi bili vključeni v preiskavo, kateri pa ne.
Similarly, for the investigation of subsidization and injury, in particular for establishing the subsidy margins and injury elimination levels it was necessary to clearly identify the products concerned by the investigation.
Podobno je bilo treba za preiskavo subvencioniranja in škode, zlasti za določitev stopenj subvencije in stopenj odprave škode, jasno opredeliti vrste izdelkov, ki jih je preiskava zadevala.
In line with the characteristics of the US market, the product concerned was provisionally defined as fatty acid monoalkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, whether in pure form or in blends, which are above B20.
Zadevni izdelek je bil v skladu z značilnostmi ameriškega trga začasno opredeljen kot monoalkilni estri maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinska plinska olja, pridobljeni s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora, splošno znan kot „biodizel“, v čisti obliki ali mešanicah nad B20.
Hence the product concerned covered pure biodiesel (B100) and all blends which contain more that 20 % biodiesel (‘the product concerned’).
Zadevni izdelek je torej vključeval čisti biodizel (B100) in vse mešanice z več kot 20 % biodizla („zadevni izdelek“).
This threshold was considered to be appropriate to allow a clear distinction between the various types of blends which are intended to be further blended and those intended for direct consumption on the US market.
Ta prag se je obravnaval kot ustrezen za omogočanje jasnega razlikovanja med različnimi vrstami mešanic, ki so namenjene nadaljnjemu mešanju, in tistimi, ki so namenjene neposredni potrošnji na ameriškem trgu.
The investigation showed that all types of biodiesel and the biodiesel in the blends covered by this investigation, despite possible differences in terms of raw material used for the production, or variances in the production process, have the same or very similar basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and are used for the same purposes.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da imajo vse vrste biodizla in biodizel v mešanicah, ki so vključeni v to preiskavo, kljub mogočim razlikam v surovinah, uporabljenih pri proizvodnji, ali razlikam v proizvodnem postopku enake ali zelo podobne osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti ter se uporabljajo v enake namene.
The possible variations in the product concerned do not alter its basic definition, its characteristics or the perception of that various parties have of it.
Morebitne spremembe zadevnega izdelka ne spremenijo njegove osnovne opredelitve, njegovih lastnosti ali dojemanja različnih strank.
Claims were received from interested parties on the definition of the product concerned and the like product whereby they contested both the definition of the product concerned and the like product simultaneously with the same arguments without making any distinction between the concept of product concerned and like product in the context of the proceeding.
Zainteresirane stranke so predložile trditve glede opredelitve zadevnega izdelka in podobnega izdelka ter v teh trditvah z istimi argumenti hkrati nasprotovale opredelitvi zadevnega izdelka in podobnega izdelka, ne da bi kakor koli razlikovale med konceptom zadevnega izdelka in podobnega izdelka v postopku.
It is recalled that whilst the concept of the product concerned is governed by the provisions of Article 1(1) to 1(4) of the basic Regulation, the interpretation of the term ‘like product’ is mentioned in Article 1(5) of the basic Regulation.
Treba je spomniti, da je pojem zadevnega izdelka opredeljen v določbah člena 1(1) do (4) osnovne uredbe, medtem ko je razlaga pojma „podobni izdelek“ navedena v členu 1(5) osnovne uredbe.
Hence, the claims will be addressed separately below.
Zato se bodo trditve ločeno obravnavale spodaj.
One party questioned to what extent blends with low proportion of biodiesel (e.g. B21) should still deem to qualify as biodiesel on par with pure biodiesel (B100) or on similar blends that consist primarily of biodiesel with lower amount of mineral diesel (e.g. B99).
Ena od strank se je spraševala, kdaj naj se mešanice z majhnim deležem biodizla (na primer B21) še štejejo za biodizel, ki je enakovreden čistemu biodizlu (B100) ali podobnim mešanicam, ki vsebujejo zlasti biodizel in manjši delež mineralnega dizla (npr. B99).
They claimed that B100 and B99 basically underwent the investigation and that all the calculations of dumping and injury were made on the basis of these two product types.
Trdila je, da je preiskava dejansko zadevala biodizel B100 in B99 ter da so bili vsi izračuni dampinga in škode izvedeni na podlagi teh dveh vrst izdelka.
In their view establishing a threshold just above B20, namely the low-level blend sold directly to consumers in the US leads to an artificial definition of the product concerned.
Menila je, da določitev praga nekoliko nad B20, pri čemer gre za mešanico z nizko stopnjo biodizla, ki se neposredno prodaja potrošnikom v ZDA, vodi k umetni opredelitvi zadevnega izdelka.
The same party also questioned whether a blend with 20 % biodiesel still qualifies to be a biodiesel fuel rather than mineral diesel which is not included in the definition of the product concerned.
Ista stranka se je spraševala tudi, ali se mešanica z 20 % biodizla še vedno šteje za biodizelsko gorivo ali morda za mineralni dizel, ki ni vključen v opredelitev zadevnega izdelka.
This party understands that the EU supports the view that a new customs heading should be created [6] for biodiesel in the customs Harmonised System (HS).
Ta stranka je bila obveščena, da EU podpira stališče, da je potrebna nova tarifna oznaka [6] za biodizel v harmoniziranem carinskem sistemu (HS).
In its view the Commission broadened the definition of the product in the present proceeding and expanded the product types affected by the imposition of the measures.
Menila je, da je Komisija v tem postopku razširila opredelitev izdelka in vrste izdelkov, na katere vpliva uvedba ukrepov.
In addition, the party considers that at the time of the investigation no specific threshold existed to determine what is biodiesel for the classification in CN code 38249091, the specific code created since 1 January 2008 for biodiesel by the EU.
Poleg tega stranka meni, da med preiskavo ni obstajal noben poseben prag za določitev, kaj je biodizel, za razvrstitev pod oznako kombinirane nomenklature 38249091, tj. posebno oznako, ki jo je EU s 1. januarjem 2008 uvedla za biodizel.
They questioned whether under the rule 3(b) of the general rules for the interpretation of the combined nomenclature [7] a blend containing less than 50 % biodiesel could still qualify as biodiesel.
Spraševala se je tudi, ali se lahko na podlagi pravila 3(b) splošnih pravil za razlago kombinirane nomenklature [7] mešanica z manj kot 50 % biodizla še vedno šteje za biodizel.
They further mentioned that the examples of blends mentioned in the Commission questionnaire were of high biodiesel contents and thus implied that the product concerned is only biodiesel and blends containing very high levels of biodiesel.
Poleg tega je navedla, da je bila pri mešanicah, navedenih v vprašalniku Komisije, vsebnost biodizla visoka, kar naj bi torej pomenilo, da je zadevni izdelek le biodizel in mešanice z zelo visoko stopnjo biodizla.
The party also claimed that the EU cannot change the definition of the product concerned whilst maintaining a different like product.
Stranka je prav tako trdila, da EU ne more spremeniti opredelitve zadevnega izdelka, če hkrati ohrani drugačen podobni izdelek.
It referred to Article 15.1 of the WTO ASCM (Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures).
Sklicevala se je na člen 15.1 Sporazuma STO o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih.
According to them the subsidy and the injury findings are made based on B100 and B99 and the US Harmonised Tariff System (HTS) codes [8] which were used in the investigation do not appear to include products with biodiesel volume as low as 20 %.
V skladu z njihovimi trditvami ugotovitve o subvencioniranju in škodi temeljijo na biodizlu B100 in B99, za oznake harmoniziranega carinskega sistema ZDA (Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States – oznake HTS) [8], ki so bile uporabljene v preiskavi, pa se ne zdi, da bi vključevale izdelke s tako nizko vsebnostjo biodizla, kot je 20-odstotna vsebnost.
They also referred to the provisional disclosure to the sampled US biodiesel producers that demonstrates that the sampled US producers sold blends exclusively made of various types of biodiesel.
Sklicevale so se tudi na začasno razkritje vzorčenim ameriškim proizvajalcem biodizla, ki dokazuje, da so vzorčeni ameriški proizvajalci prodajali mešanice, ki so bile proizvedene izključno iz različnih vrst biodizla.
Hence the product concerned should be limited to the products that contain 100 % of biodiesel (B100), even if composed of biodiesel made of different feedstock, or to blends containing 99 % of biodiesel (B99).
Zato je treba zadevni izdelek omejiti le na izdelke, ki vsebujejo 100 % biodizla (B100), tudi če je sestavljen iz biodizla, pridobljenega iz različnih surovin, ali na mešanice z vsebnostjo 99 % biodizla (B99).
The party referred to a recent Court Judgement [9] concerning imports of ammonium nitrate and concluded that the rationale of that judgment also applies to the current proceeding and that biodiesel that is not part of blends in very high content cannot be subject to the investigation and to measures as it is not the like product for which dumping and injury findings were drawn, namely products that contain only biodiesel (B100) or blends with 99 % of biodiesel (B99).
Stranka se je sklicevala na nedavno sodbo Sodišča [9] o uvozu amonijevega nitrata ter ugotovila, da utemeljitev iz te sodbe velja tudi za sedanji postopek in da biodizla, ki ni del mešanic z zelo visoko vsebnostjo biodizla, ni mogoče vključiti v preiskavo in ukrepe, saj ni podobni izdelek, za katerega so bile sprejete ugotovitve o dampingu in škodi, tj. izdelek, ki vsebuje le biodizel (B100), ali mešanice, ki vsebujejo 99 % biodizla (B99).
The parties did not bring any evidence or a legal reference which would show that the product concerned was not correctly defined in the present investigation.
Stranke niso predložile nobenih dokazov ali pravnih virov, iz katerih bi bilo razvidno, da zadevni izdelek v sedanji preiskavi ni bil pravilno opredeljen.
The provisions in Article 1(1) to 1(4) of the basic Regulation which provide guidance as to the definition of the product concerned.
V določbah člena 1(1) do 1(4) osnovne uredbe so določene smernice za opredelitev zadevnega izdelka.
Article 1(1) states that: ‘A countervailing duty may be imposed for the purpose of offsetting any subsidy granted, directly or indirectly, for the manufacture, production, export or transport of any product whose release for free circulation in the Community causes injury.’
V členu 1(1) je navedeno: „Izravnalna dajatev se lahko uvede zaradi kompenzacije kakršne koli neposredno ali posredno dodeljene subvencije za izdelavo, proizvodnjo, izvoz ali prevoz katerega koli izdelka, katerega sprostitev v prosti promet v Skupnosti povzroča škodo.“
As mentioned in recital (21) above, the complaint contained prima facie evidence that biodiesel and all blends, of biodiesel with mineral diesel, produced in the USA and exported at subsidised price to the Community had affected the economic situation of the biodiesel producers in the Community.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (20), so bili v pritožbi navedeni prima facie dokazi, da so biodizel in vse mešanice biodizla in mineralnega dizla, ki se proizvajajo v ZDA ter se po subvencioniranih cenah izvažajo v Skupnost, vplivali na gospodarski položaj proizvajalcev biodizla v Skupnosti.
The parties did not bring any evidence showing that the threshold fixed in the provisional Regulation to set the dividing line between product concerned and product non concerned was artificial.
Stranke niso predložile nobenih dokazov, da je prag iz začasne uredbe za določitev ločnice med zadevnim izdelkom in izdelkom, ki ni zadevni izdelek, umeten.
As mentioned in recitals (26) and (28) of the provisional Regulation, the investigation showed that B20, and potentially lower level blends, were actually sold directly to consumers in the US.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah (26) in (28) začasne uredbe, je preiskava pokazala, da so se mešanica B20 in morda tudi mešanice z manjšo vsebnostjo biodizla dejansko neposredno prodajale potrošnikom v ZDA.
The investigation also showed that the market for blending and the market for consumer products were different markets with different customers: one market where biodiesel and biodiesel blends are destined to further blending by traders and blenders and one market where the blends are destined to the distribution network and thus to consumers.
Preiskava je pokazala tudi, da sta bila trg za mešanje in trg za potrošniške izdelke različna trga z različnimi potrošniki: eden je trg, na katerem so biodizel in mešanice biodizla namenjeni nadaljnjemu mešanju pri trgovcih in pripravljavcih mešanic, drugi pa trg, na katerem so mešanice namenjene distribucijskemu omrežju in s tem potrošnikom.
Defining the threshold for the product concerned above B20 allowed to draw a clear dividing line and avoided confusion between the products, the markets and the various parties in the USA.
Opredelitev praga za zadevni izdelek, ki presega B20, je omogočila določitev jasne ločnice in preprečila zamenjave med izdelki, trgi in različnimi strankami v ZDA.
The claim was thus rejected.
Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
In all anti-subsidy investigations it is common that individual companies investigated do not produce and sell all the product types included in the definition of the product concerned.
Vsem protisubvencijskim preiskavam je skupno, da posamezne družbe, ki se preiskujejo, ne proizvajajo in ne prodajajo vseh vrst izdelka, ki so vključene v opredelitev zadevnega izdelka.
Some companies may produce a very limited range of product types while other may produce a larger range.
Nekatere družbe lahko proizvajajo zelo malo različnih vrst izdelka, medtem ko jih lahko druge proizvajajo več.
This, however, does not affect the definition of the product concerned.
Vendar to ne vpliva na opredelitev zadevnega izdelka.
It is therefore considered that the claim that the product concerned should only cover the product types that were exported by the US producers and used for the subsidisation and the injury calculations is unfounded.
Zato se trditev, da mora opredelitev zadevnega izdelka vključevati le vrste izdelka, ki so jih izvažali ameriški proizvajalci ter so se uporabile za izračun subvencioniranja in škode, šteje za neutemeljeno.
As mentioned in the provisional Regulation and in recital (20) above, the investigation primarily focused on biodiesel, whether in pure form or when incorporated in blends.
Kot je navedeno v začasni uredbi in uvodni izjavi (20), je bila preiskava osredotočena zlasti na biodizel, ne glede na to, ali v čisti obliki ali kot del mešanic.
The countervailing measures will apply to the relevant blends exported to the Community market.
Protisubvencijski ukrepi se bodo uporabljali za zadevne mešanice, ki se izvažajo na trg Skupnosti.
Hence, it is considered that the question whether a blend with 20 % biodiesel still qualifies for a biodiesel fuel rather than mineral diesel which is not included in the definition of the product concerned is not relevant.
Zato se vprašanje, ali se mešanica z 20 % biodizla še vedno šteje za biodizelsko gorivo ali morda za mineralni dizel, ki ni vključen v opredelitev zadevnega izdelka, šteje za nepomembno.
