However, the Commission also found that the value of the Brazilian currency vis-à-vis the US Dollar increased significantly over the RIP, and particularly after the tariff increase was introduced by Brazil.
Vendar pa je Komisija tudi ugotovila, da se je v OPP vrednost brazilske valute glede na ameriški dolar znatno zvišala, zlasti po tem, ko je Brazilija uvedla zvišanje tarife.
More precisely, the value of the Brazilian Real strengthened by up to 19 % (i.e. a greater increase than the increase in tariffs) compared to the beginning of the RIP.
Natančneje, vrednost brazilskega reala se je v primerjavi z začetkom OPP okrepila za do 19 % (tj. več kot je zvišanje tarif).
As a consequence, the rise in the value of the Brazilian currency with respect to the US Dollar offset to a large extent the effect of the tariff rise on import prices.
Posledično je zvišanje vrednosti brazilske valute glede na ameriški dolar v veliki meri izravnalo učinek zvišanja tarif na uvozne cene.
Moreover, the Commission did not find any evidence that the raise in tariffs was reflected in a substantial increase of domestic prices, nor that it hindered imports.
Poleg tega Komisija ni našla nobenega dokaza, da se je dvig tarif odražal v znatnem zvišanju domačih cen ali da je oviral uvoz.
In fact, the Commission established that, despite the tariff increase, imports of leather shoes into Brazil in the first half of 2008 (i.e. after the tariff rise) increased considerably as compared to the first half of 2007.
Komisija je ugotovila, da se je uvoz usnjene obutve v Brazilijo v prvi polovici leta 2008 (tj. po zvišanju tarif) kljub zvišanju tarif znatno zvišal v primerjavi s prvo polovico leta 2007.
Thus, there was no effective impact of the tariff increase on the Brazilian market.
Zato zvišanje tarif ni imelo dejanskega učinka na brazilski trg.
Some parties submitted that Brazil is not an open market for footwear because imports of footwear into the country are hampered by non-automatic licensing.
Nekatere stranke so trdile, da Brazilija ni odprt trg za obutev, ker uvoz obutve v državo ovira nesamodejno izdajanje licenc.
The Commission found that Brazil applies non-automatic licensing on imports of footwear, but notes this does not appear to have constituted a barrier to imports in view of the aforementioned import increase.
Komisija je ugotovila, da Brazilija uporablja nesamodejno izdajanje licenc za uvoz obutve, vendar ugotavlja, da glede na prej omenjeno povečanje uvoza, to ni pomenilo ovire za uvoz.
In addition, the Commission established that Indonesia also applies non-automatic licensing regarding imports of footwear.
Poleg tega je Komisija ugotovila, da Indonezija prav tako uporablja nesamodejno izdajanje licenc za uvoz obutve.
The Commission notes that non-automatic import licensing is a WTO compatible practice.
Komisija opozarja, da je nesamodejno izdajanje licenc praksa, ki je združljiva s STO.
The Commission therefore concludes that there exist no grounds for regarding the non-automatic import licenses applied by Brazil as an import restriction which could lead to a conclusion that Brazil is a non-open market.
Komisija zato sklepa, da ni razloga za obravnavanje nesamodejnega izdajanja licenc v Braziliji kot omejevanja uvoza, ki bi lahko vodilo do zaključka, da Brazilija ni odprt trg.
Some parties argued that the significant rise in the value of the Brazilian Real in the recent years affected competitiveness in Brazil negatively, or that a drop of the Real by 25 % since the RIP affected Brazil's international competitiveness negatively.
Nekatere stranke so trdile, da je znatno zvišanje vrednosti brazilskega reala v zadnjih letih negativno vplivalo na konkurenco v Braziliji, oziroma, da je padec reala za 25 % od OPP negativno vplival na mednarodno konkurenčnost Brazilije.
These arguments were not supported by substantiating evidence, but in any event, developments after the RIP cannot be considered pertinent in the choice of the analogue country.
Ti argumenti niso bili podprti z utemeljenimi dokazi, v vsakem primeru pa razvoj po OPP ne more biti obravnavan kot bistven pri izbiri primerljive države.
Following the above, the Commission found no evidence that the overall conditions of competition on the Brazilian market have changed significantly since the original investigation so as to make Brazil unsuitable as an analogue country.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno Komisija ni našla nobenega dokaza, da bi se splošni pogoji konkurence na brazilskem trgu od prvotne preiskave bistveno spremenili, zaradi česar Brazilija ne bi bila ustrezna kot primerljiva država.
Differences in socio-economic development
Razlike v družbeno-gospodarskem razvoju
It was argued by several parties that India or Indonesia are more appropriate choices for an analogue market, because Brazil does not possess similarities to China and Vietnam in terms of economic development, or per capita GNP.
Več strank je tudi trdilo, da sta Indija ali Indonezija ustreznejša izbira za primerljivi trg, saj Brazilija v smislu gospodarskega razvoja ali BNP na prebivalca ni podobna Kitajski in Vietnamu.
It should be noted that by definition, a non-market-economy country or an economy in transition does not have the same economic characteristics as a market-economy country.
Poudariti je treba, da država z netržnim gospodarstvom ali gospodarstvo v tranziciji po definiciji nimata enakih gospodarskih značilnosti kot država s tržnim gospodarstvom.
It is not unusual that such difference in economic development exists between an analogue country and a non-market-economy country or an economy in transition.
Ni neobičajno, da med primerljivo državo in državo z netržnim gospodarstvom oziroma gospodarstvom v tranziciji obstaja takšna razlika v gospodarskem razvoju.
This applies also to the difference in income per capita which is also an indicator of economic development.
To tudi velja za razliko v dohodku na prebivalca, ki je tudi pokazatelj gospodarske razvitosti.
This, however, does not prevent Brazil to be chosen as analogue country as long as it is deemed more appropriate with regard to the other factors taken into consideration.
Vendar pa to ne preprečuje izbire Brazilije kot primerljive države, če se zdi ustreznejša glede na druge dejavnike, ki jih je treba upoštevati.
Differences in cost structure
Razlike v strukturi stroškov
Several interested parties stressed the fact that labour costs are higher in Brazil than in China and Vietnam and that India, Indonesia or Thailand whose labour costs are more comparable, would thus be more appropriate analogue countries.
Številne zainteresirane stranke so poudarile dejstvo, da so stroški dela v Braziliji višji kot na Kitajskem in v Vietnamu ter da bi bile Indija, Indonezija ali Tajska, katerih stroški dela so bolj primerljivi, zato ustreznejše primerljive države.
It was submitted that due to higher wages, labour costs in Brazil amount to 50-70 % of the cost of production as opposed to 30 % in China.
Navedeno je bilo, da zaradi višjih plač stroški dela v Braziliji znašajo 50–70 % stroškov proizvodnje v primerjavi s 30 % na Kitajskem.
In that respect, a country with a different level of economic development may indeed be chosen as analogue country for a non-market-economy country or an economy in transition.
V zvezi s tem se lahko za primerljivo državo za državo z netržnim gospodarstvom ali z gospodarstvom v tranziciji izbere država z drugačno stopnjo gospodarskega razvoja.
Similarly, labour costs which are an indicator for the economic development of a country cannot be considered as a relevant criterion in isolation.
Na podoben način se stroški dela, ki so kazalec gospodarskega razvoja države, sami po sebi ne štejejo za ustrezno merilo.
In any event, as regards the part of labour cost in the overall cost of production, the Commission established at the verification on site that labour costs in Brazil are less than 40 % of the total production cost and therefore much closer to the relevant Chinese level than alleged.
V vsakem primeru je Komisija glede dela stroškov dela v celotnih stroških proizvodnje pri preverjanju na kraju samem ugotovila, da znašajo stroški dela v Braziliji manj kot 40 % celotne proizvodnje in so zato veliko bližje zadevni kitajski ravni, kot se je trdilo.
It was also argued by several parties that Brazil is not appropriate for establishing normal value, because Brazilian companies bear costs for design and research and development, which in the case of China and Vietnam are at the expense of their customers abroad.
Prav tako je več strank trdilo, da Brazilija ni primerna za določitev normalne vrednosti, ker brazilske družbe nosijo stroške za oblikovanje ter preiskave in razvoj, ki pa jih na Kitajskem in v Vietnamu nosijo njihove stranke iz tujine.
The Commission found that this difference in cost structure may be plausible, since exporters in the countries concerned sold the product concerned to former Union manufacturers in the Union which still support the abovementioned components of the cost of production and sell the product under their own brand name.
Komisija je ugotovila, da bi ta razlika v strukturi stroškov lahko bila verjetna, saj so izvozniki v zadevnih državah prodali zadevni izdelek nekdanjim proizvajalcem Unije v Uniji, ki še vedno podpirajo zgoraj navedene komponente stroškov proizvodnje in izdelek prodajajo pod svojo lastno blagovno znamko.
However, this is not a reason to reject Brazil as a suitable analogue country as adjustments can be made for such costs when establishing normal value (see recital 118 et seqq.).
Vendar to ni razlog za zavrnitev Brazilije kot ustrezne primerljive države, saj se lahko pri določitvi normalne vrednosti ti stroški prilagodijo (glej uvodno izjavo (118) in naslednje).
Some parties submitted that unlike China and Vietnam ex-factory prices in Brazil include marketing expenses, special taxes, and credit and delivery costs.
Nekatere stranke so trdile, da v nasprotju s Kitajsko in Vietnamom cene franko tovarne v Braziliji vključujejo stroške trženja, posebne dajatve ter stroške posojil in dostave.
In addition, overhead costs in Brazil were alleged to be higher, due to the smaller size of Brazilian companies.
Poleg tega se je trdilo, da so splošni stroški v Braziliji višji zaradi manjše velikosti brazilskih družb.
Here too, the Commission considers that this is not a reason to reject Brazil as a suitable analogue country, as adjustments can be made for such allowances in the calculation of normal value (see recital 118 et seqq.).
Tudi pri tem Komisija meni, da to ni razlog za zavrnitev Brazilije kot ustrezne primerljive države, saj se lahko pri izračunu normalne vrednosti ti stroški prilagodijo (glej uvodno izjavo (118) in naslednje).
Some parties alleged that Asian countries have better access to raw materials than Brazil, in particular leather.
Nekatere stranke so trdile, da imajo azijske države boljši dostop do surovin, kot Brazilija do zlasti usnja.
The Commission examined the documentation submitted.
Komisija je preučila predložene dokumente.
It is shown indeed that leather production has progressed faster in Asia, but this has to be seen in the light of the increase in Asian production of leather goods.
Res se je izkazalo, da je proizvodnja usnja hitreje napredovala v Aziji, vendar je treba pri tem upoštevati povečanje azijske proizvodnje izdelkov iz usnja.
Latin American countries account for slightly more than 15 % of the world production of leather shoes and close to 15 % of the world production of raw leather.
Države Latinske Amerike skupaj predstavljajo več kot 15 % svetovne proizvodnje usnjene obutve in skoraj 15 % proizvodnje surovega usnja.
Asian countries produce more than 50 % of leather shoes in the world but less than 40 % of the world's raw leather.
Azijske države proizvedejo več kot 50 % usnjene obutve na svetu, vendar manj kot 40 % surovega usnja na svetu.
It can thus be concluded that, despite differences in absolute figures of leather production, Latin American countries have a higher self-sufficiency compared to Asian countries and therefore easier access to raw leather.
Zato se lahko sklepa, da so države Latinske Amerike kljub razlikam v absolutnih številkah proizvodnje usnja bolj samozadostne v primerjavi z azijskimi državami in imajo zato lažji dostop do usnja.
Other claims made by parties
Druge trditve strank
Some interested parties argued that Brazil is not an appropriate reference country, because Brazilian footwear is not a substitute for Chinese and Vietnamese footwear, since after the imposition of anti-dumping duties by the Union, imports into the Union originating in Brazil did not go up while those from India and Indonesia increased.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so trdile, da Brazilija ni ustrezna referenčna država, ker brazilska obutev ni nadomestek za kitajsko in vietnamsko obutev, saj se po uvedbi protidampinških dajatev ES uvoz v ES iz Brazilije ni povečal, medtem ko se iz Indije in Indonezije je.
In this respect, imports into the Union from India and Indonesia did increase after anti-dumping duties were imposed.
V zvezi s tem je treba ugotoviti, da se je uvoz v ES iz Indije in Indonezije po uvedbi protidampinških dajatev dejansko povečal.
However, the Commission observes that commercial operators remain free regarding their choice of suppliers, and, as examined later under the injury analysis, in this case they preferred to source their products from neighbouring countries to China and Vietnam.
Vendar Komisija ugotavlja, da lahko gospodarski subjekti prosto izbirajo dobavitelje in, kakor je bilo kasneje preučeno v analizi škode, so v tem primeru svoje izdelke pridobivali iz sosednjih držav Kitajske in Vietnama.
This does not render Brazil inappropriate as analogue country.
Zato tega izbira Brazilije kot primerljive države ni neprimerna.
Moreover, an analogue country serves to establish normal value.
Poleg tega je primerljiva država namenjena določitvi normalne vrednosti.
Whether or not it exports to the Union is not relevant for this purpose.
Ali izvaža v ES ali ne, za ta namen ni pomembno.
Some parties argued that Brazil cannot be a comparable market to Vietnam, because Vietnam is export oriented while Brazil sells mainly domestically.
Nekatere stranke so trdile, da Brazilija ne more biti primerljiv trg z Vietnamom, ker je Vietnam izvozno usmerjen, medtem ko Brazilija prodaja predvsem doma.
The Commission cannot accept the relevance of this argument.
Komisija ne more priznati ustreznosti tega argumenta.
Vietnam is clearly more export-oriented than Brazil however it is not evident how this could affect the normal value calculated in Brazil, which by definition relates to Brazilian production costs and domestic sales.
Vietnam je nedvomno bolj izvozno usmerjena država kot Brazilija, vendar ni razvidno, kako bi to lahko vplivalo na normalno vrednost, izračunano v Braziliji, ki se po opredelitvi nanaša na brazilske stroške proizvodnje in domačo prodajo.
Several parties raised the argument that Brazilian export prices are lower than the domestic ones.
Več strank je navedlo argument, da so brazilske izvozne cene nižje od domačih.
For some of the parties this indicates that export prices rather than domestic ones should be used for establishing normal value.
Za nekatere stranke to pomeni, da bi morale biti za vzpostavitev normalne vrednosti namesto domačih uporabljene izvozne cene.
Other parties argued that this constitutes evidence that Brazilian exporters are dumping and submit that Brazil would therefore be inappropriate as analogue country.
Druge stranke so trdile, da to predstavlja dokaz, da brazilski izvozniki izvajajo damping in da Brazilija zato ne bi bila primerna kot primerljiva država.
First the Commission observes that export prices are not relevant in this case, since sufficiently representative and profitable domestic prices are available.
Prvič, Komisija ugotavlja, da izvozne cene v tem primeru niso pomembne, saj so na voljo zadostno reprezentativne in dobičkonosne domače cene.
Second, the allegation that Brazilian export prices are dumped has not been substantiated and in any event cannot be confirmed or denied without a proper investigation of this issue.
Drugič, trditev, da so brazilske izvozne cene dampinške, ni bila dokazana in v nobenem primeru ne more biti potrjena ali zavrnjena brez ustrezne preiskave te zadeve.
Some interested parties claimed that Brazil is inappropriate as analogue country because Brazilian producers receive government support for exports.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so trdile, da Brazilija ni primerna primerljiva država, ker brazilski proizvajalci dobivajo državno podporo za izvoz.
The Commission first notes that this kind of support would affect primarily export prices which, as mentioned above, are not relevant for the present investigation.
Komisija najprej opozarja, da bi takšna vrsta podpore vplivala predvsem na izvozne cene, ki pa, kakor je navedeno zgoraj, niso pomembne za sedanjo preiskavo.
The Commission nevertheless examined the evidence submitted by the parties and found that the support referred to related to export promotion programmes, similar to the ones that can be found in many other countries, with the objective to make products better known abroad, by publicity campaigns and participation in international trade fairs.
Komisija je kljub temu preučila dokaze, ki so jih predložile stranke, in ugotovila, da je zadevna podpora za programe spodbujanja izvoza podobna tistim, ki jih je mogoče najti v številnih drugih državah in so namenjeni boljši prepoznavnosti izdelkov v tujini s pomočjo kampanj obveščanja javnosti in sodelovanja na mednarodnih trgovinskih sejmih.
The Commission found no indication that support for export promotion in Brazil was benefitting to domestic sales of shoes.
Komisija ni našla ničesar, kar bi nakazovalo, da ima domača prodaja obutve koristi od podpore za spodbujanje izvoza v Braziliji.
Several parties raised the fact that Brazil has initiated an anti-dumping investigation into footwear originating in China, for which Italy was used as analogue country, and claimed that Italian and Brazilian companies colluded to maximise dumping findings in the review investigation carried out by the Union.
Več strank je izpostavilo dejstvo, da je Brazilija začela protidampinško preiskavo za obutev s poreklom iz Kitajske, za katero je bila kot primerljiva država uporabljena Italija, in trdilo, da so se brazilske in italijanske družbe dogovarjale z namenom, da bi bile ugotovitve v zvezi z dampingom v preiskavi o začetku izteka ukrepov, ki jo je izvedla ES, čim boljše.
However there was no substantiation to these allegations, and no other related evidence.
Vendar za te domneve ni bilo nobene utemeljitve in drugih, s tem povezanih dokazov.
The Commission therefore rejects this argument.
Komisija zato zavrača ta argument.
Conclusion as regards the choice of analogue country
Sklepi glede izbire primerljive države
In light of the above, it was concluded that Brazil was the most appropriate analogue country.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno je bilo sklenjeno, da je Brazilija najustreznejša primerljiva država.
A large number of interested parties alleged that selecting Brazil as the analogue country would be determinant for a finding of dumping and that dumping would not be found if one of the other countries was selected.
Veliko zainteresiranih strank je trdilo, da je bila izbira Brazilije kot primerljive države odločilna za ugotovitev dampinga in da damping ne bi bil ugotovljen, če bi bila izbrana katera druga država.
For argument's sake, the Commission therefore checked what the result would have been if Indonesia was selected, which, although not the best option as demonstrated above was the only tenable alternative to Brazil.
Komisija je zato preverila, kakšen bi bil rezultat, če bi bila izbrana Indonezija, ki sicer ni bila najboljša možnost, kakor je bilo prikazano zgoraj, vendar je bila edina razumna alternativa Braziliji.
The results are given in the relevant section below, and confirmed that the choice of analogue country in this case, between the tenable options available, was not determinative of the results of the dumping calculations.
Rezultati so navedeni v ustreznem oddelku spodaj in so potrdili, da izbira primerljive države v tem primeru, med razumnimi možnostmi, ki so bile na voljo, v tem primeru ni odločilna za rezultate izračunov dampinga.
Brazil was therefore selected as the analogue country.
Brazilija je bila zato izbrana za primerljivo državo.
Following the choice of Brazil as an analogue country, normal value was calculated on the basis of the data verified at the premises of the cooperating Brazilian producers.
Po izbiri Brazilije kot primerljive države je bila normalna vrednost izračunana na podlagi podatkov, preverjenih v prostorih sodelujočih brazilskih proizvajalcev.
The domestic sales of these producers were found to be representative compared to the volume of exports to the Union by the exporting producers in the PRC and Vietnam.
Domača prodaja teh proizvajalcev je bila reprezentativna v primerjavi z obsegom izvoza v Unijo proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz LRK in Vietnama.
It was also examined whether the domestic sales could be regarded as having been made in the ordinary course of trade, by establishing the proportion of profitable sales to independent customers.
Preučeno je bilo tudi, ali se domača prodaja lahko šteje za prodajo, opravljeno pri običajnem poteku trgovine, in sicer z določitvijo deleža dobičkonosne prodaje neodvisnim strankam.
The investigation showed that the sales at prices equal to or above the unit cost represented more than 80 % of the total sales volume of each producer.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je njihova prodaja po cenah, enakih ali višjih od stroškov na enoto, predstavljala več kot 80 % celotnega obsega prodaje posameznega proizvajalca.
Therefore, the normal value was based on actual domestic prices, calculated as a weighted average of the prices of all domestic sales of a product type made during the RIP, irrespective of whether these sales were profitable or not.
Zato je normalna vrednost temeljila na dejanskih domačih cenah in je bila izračunana kot tehtano povprečje cen celotne domače prodaje navedene vrste izdelka v OPP, ne glede na to, ali je bila ta prodaja dobičkonosna ali ne.
Normal value for Golden Step
Normalna vrednost za družbo Golden Step
In the case of Golden Step, the normal value was determined on the basis of the company's own data on domestic sales and cost of production.
V primeru družbe Golden Step je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi podatkov družbe o domači prodaji in stroških proizvodnje.
These data were verified at the premises of the company.
Ti podatki so bili preverjeni v prostorih zadevnega podjetja.
The Commission first established that Golden Step made no domestic sales during the RIP.
Komisija je najprej ugotovila, da Golden Step v obdobju OPP ni prodajal na domačem trgu.
Therefore, normal value could not be established on the basis of its domestic prices, as provided by Article 2(1), subparagraph 1, of the basic Regulation.
Zato normalne vrednosti ni bilo mogoče določiti na podlagi cen na domačem trgu, kakor je določeno v pododstavku 1 člena 2(1) osnovne uredbe.
Consequently, in accordance with Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation, normal value was constructed by adding to the manufacturing costs of the exported shoe model, adjusted where necessary, a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative (‘SG&A’) expenses and a reasonable margin of profit.
Zato je bila v skladu s členom 2(3) osnovne uredbe normalna vrednost konstruirana tako, da se je proizvodnim stroškom izvoženih vrst čevljev po potrebi dodal prilagojen razumni znesek za prodajne, splošne in administrativne stroške („stroški PSA“) ter razumna stopnja dobička.
In this respect, SG&A and profit could not be determined in accordance with Article 2(6)(a) of the basic Regulation on the basis of actual amounts determined for other exporting producers in the country concerned because no other Chinese exporting producer had been awarded MET.
Stroškov PSA in dobička v skladu s členom 2(6)(a) osnovne uredbe ni bilo mogoče določiti na podlagi dejanskih zneskov, ugotovljenih za druge proizvajalce izvoznike v zadevni državi, saj nobenemu drugemu kitajskemu proizvajalcu ni bil odobren TGO.
