Notwithstanding differences in product mix and level of trade considerations, it is clear that average imports prices of EUR 8,6 for the PRC and EUR 9,51 from Vietnam continue to cause major concern to the Union producers whose average sales prices are well above EUR 30. This becomes even more evident when looking at the undercutting levels that have seen a drastic increase when compared to the OIP.
Ne glede na razlike v prodajnem programu in stopnji trgovine je jasno, da povprečne uvozne cene, ki znašajo 8,6 EUR za LRK in 9,51 EUR za Vietnam, še vedno povzročajo velike skrbi proizvajalcem Unije, ki imajo povprečne prodajne cene še vedno precej višje od 30 EUR. To postane še bolj očitno pri stopnjah nelojalnega nižanja cen, ki so se v primerjavi z POP drastično povišale.
For China undercutting levels have increased from 13,5 % to 31,9 % in this period and for Vietnam the equivalent increase is from 15,9 % to 38,9 %.
Za Kitajsko so se stopnje nelojalnega nižanja cen v tem obdobju povišale s 13,5 % na 31,9 %, za Vietnam pa s 15,9 % na 38,9 %.
Conclusion on the impact of imports of dumped products from the countries concerned
Sklep o vplivu uvoza dampinških izdelkov iz zadevnih držav
On the basis of the above it must be concluded that imports from the countries concerned both in terms of volume and price, continues to adversely affect the performance of Union producers.
Glede na navedeno je treba skleniti, da uvoz iz zadevnih držav v smislu obsega in cen še naprej negativno vpliva na uspešnost proizvajalcev Unije.
The Commission thoroughly analysed whether any other known factors than the dumped imports could have had a bearing on the continued injury suffered by the Union producers in order to ensure that possible injury caused by any such factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Komisija je podrobno analizirala, ali bi lahko kateri koli drug znan dejavnik razen dampinškega uvoza vplival na nadaljevanje škode, ki jo trpijo proizvajalci Unije, da bi se tako prepričala, da morebitna škoda, ki jo je povzročil kateri koli od teh dejavnikov, ni bila pripisana dampinškemu uvozu.
Lack of competition between the Union-produced shoes and those imported from the countries concerned
Pomanjkanje konkurence med obutvijo, izdelano v Uniji, in obutvijo, uvoženo iz zadevnih držav
Some interested parties maintained that there is no link between imports form the countries concerned and the performance of the Union industry.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so navajale, da med uvozom iz zadevnih držav in uspešnostjo industrije Unije ni nobene povezave.
In particular it was held that there was no substitution between the like product produced in the Union and the product concerned.
Zlasti so trdile, da podobni izdelek, izdelan v Uniji, in zadevni izdelek nista zamenljiva.
According to these parties there is no competition between Union produced leather shoes and those imported from China and Vietnam as the former tend to operate in the mid to high end market segment while the latter is mainly destined for the mid to low end segment.
Po besedah teh strank med usnjeno obutvijo, izdelano v Uniji, in obutvijo, uvoženo iz Kitajske in Vietnama, ni konkurence, saj Unija deluje v srednje- do visokokakovostnem tržnem segmentu, Kitajska in Vietnam pa v srednje- do nizkokakovostnem segmentu.
The fact that the Union industry was not able to regain market share following the imposition of the measures was held forward as evidence in this regard.
V zvezi s tem je bilo kot dokaz predloženo dejstvo, da Unija po uvedbi ukrepov ni mogla ponovno pridobiti tržnega deleža.
The general improvement as concern the other injury indicators would instead be the consequence of the change in business model by the Union industry whereby a reduction of production and shift towards higher value added production mitigated the injury previously suffered for part of the Union industry.
Splošno izboljšanje drugih kazalnikov škode naj bi bilo namesto tega posledica spremembe poslovnih modelov v industriji Unije ter s tem zmanjšanja proizvodnje in prehoda na proizvodnjo višje dodane vrednosti, ki je ublažila škodo, ki jo je prej utrpel del industrije Unije.
The difficulties experienced by the other group of Union producers was held to be caused by the failure to adapt rather than to dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Težave, s katerimi se je soočila druga skupina proizvajalcev Unije, naj bi nastale zaradi nezmožnosti prilagajanja in ne zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
The investigation has shown that although part of the Union industry has also been moving upmarket, it still occupies some parts of the low bracket and large parts of the medium segment.
Preiskava je pokazala, da čeprav del industrije Unije prehaja tudi na višji segment, še vedno deluje v nekaj delih nižjega in veliko delih srednjega segmenta.
When looking at the dumped imports, these cover not only the low segment, but also the medium segment—and in some cases, even the higher segment.
Pri preučevanju dampinškega uvoza je razvidno, da ne obsega samo nižjega segmenta, ampak tudi srednjega – v nekaterih primerih pa celo višjega.
There is in other words substantial competition between the leather shoes produced in the Union and those imported from the countries concerned.
Z drugimi besedami, med usnjeno obutvijo, izdelano v Uniji, in obutvijo, uvoženo iz zadevnih držav, je močna konkurenca.
There had also been claims that there was no competition between the Union producers and the exporters concerned as the Union producers are concentrated on niche products and do not supply a full range of speciality shoes such as hiking, bowling, and orthopaedic shoes.
Predložene so bile tudi navedbe, da med proizvajalci Unije in zadevnimi izvozniki ni konkurence, saj so proizvajalci Unije osredotočeni na specializirane izdelke in ne dobavljajo celotnega programa posebne obutve, kakor so pohodniški čevlji, čevlji za kegljanje in ortopedski čevlji.
In this context it should however be noted that these speciality shoes only form as small part of the product concerned and the impact can therefore not be significant.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da ti posebni čevlji predstavljajo samo majhen del zadevnega izdelka in da vpliv zato ne more biti znaten.
In any event, the investigation has shown that contrary to the claim, these speciality shoes are produced in the Union albeit in limited quantities and these are in direct competition with the imported speciality shoes.
V vsakem primeru je preiskava pokazala, da je v nasprotju z navedbami, posebna obutev izdelana v Uniji, čeprav v omejenih količinah, in neposredno konkurira uvoženi posebni obutvi.
Furthermore and as detailed above, there is now an increase in competition between many of these speciality shoes and the classical ‘brown shoe’ traditionally produced by the Union industry.
Poleg tega se je, kakor je podrobno razloženo zgoraj, povečala konkurenca med številnimi vrstami posebne obutve in klasičnim „rjavim čevljem“, ki ga tradicionalno izdeluje industrija Unije.
As concerns the comparison of Union production and imports from the countries concerned as per the age and gender, the investigation showed that there is substantial production in the Union of men, women and children's shoes.
Glede primerjave med proizvodnjo Unije in uvozom iz zadevnih držav po starosti in spolu je preiskava pokazala, da obstaja v Uniji velika proizvodnja ženske, moške in otroške obutve.
The focus would be on women's shoes making up around 55 % of production while men and children's shoes would be 35 % and 10 % respectively.
Poudarek je na ženski obutvi, ki obsega približno 55 % proizvodnje, medtem ko moška in otroška obutev obsegata 35 % oziroma 10 %.
When looking at the breakdown in age and gender for shoes imported from the countries concerned the figures would be different with higher focus on in particular children shoes at around 25 %.
Pri razčlenitvi po starosti in spolu za obutev, uvoženo iz zadevnih držav, je opaziti drugačne številke, z večjim poudarkom zlasti na otroški obutvi s približno 25 %.
Notwithstanding these variations, it is clear that all three categories are sold in the Union market in significant quantities by the Union industry as well as by exporters.
Ne glede na te razlike je jasno, da vse tri kategorije na trgu Unije v velikih količinah prodajajo tako industrija Unije kot izvozniki.
Lack of efficiency of Union producers, structural deficiencies and impact of globalisation
Pomanjkanje učinkovitosti proizvajalcev Unije, strukturne pomanjkljivosti in vpliv globalizacije
One party, representing Consumer interests maintained that the alleged dumping has had no impact on the situation of the Union industry but that the trend of globalisation and the shifting of production to lower cost countries rather than unfair trade lays at the heart of job losses and factory closures in the Union.
Ena stranka, ki je zastopala interese potrošnikov, je trdila, da domnevni damping ni imel nobenega vpliva na položaj industrije Unije, temveč da sta glavna razloga za izgube zaposlitve in zaprtja tovarn v Uniji trend globalizacije in selitev proizvodnje v države z nižjimi stroški, ne pa nepoštena trgovina.
Several other interested parties also pointed out the inability of the Union industry to benefit from the measures and the effect of the change in business model amongst Union producers as evidence in support of the claim that there is no link between imports and the Union industry performance.
Več drugih zainteresiranih strank je opozarjalo na nezmožnost industrije Unije, da izkoristi ugodnosti ukrepov in vpliv spremembe poslovnega modela med proizvajalci Unije, kar naj bi dokazovalo, da med uvozom in uspešnostjo industrije Unije ni nobene povezave.
According to these claims, the Union industry is structurally incapable to compete in the mass production market largely due to lack of the necessary labour force and the cost thereof.
Po teh trditvah naj bi bila industrija Unije zaradi pomanjkanja potrebne delovne sile in z njo povezanih stroškov strukturno nezmožna konkurirati na trgu masovne proizvodnje.
As a consequence, a significant part of the Union industry has moved to a new business model and have invested in product innovation and upgrading so as to move focus from mid- to low-end product segment to the mid- to high-end and luxury segment.
Zato se je velik del industrije Unije preusmeril v nov poslovni model ter investiral v inovacije izdelkov in nadgradnjo, da bi se iz segmenta srednjega do nižjega cenovnega razreda premaknil v segment srednjega do višjega in luksuznega cenovnega razreda.
These companies that have focused on niche products with higher added value are also showing a good level of performance.
Družbe, ki so se osredotočile na tržno nišo izdelkov z višjo dodano vrednostjo, prav tako kažejo visoko stopnjo uspešnosti.
Conversely, those companies that have failed to respond to globalisation are continuing to demonstrate poor results.
Nasprotno pa družbe, ki se niso uspele odzvati na globalizacijo, še naprej izkazujejo slabe rezultate.
According to this line of argument, the situation of the Union producers should thus be considered to be the consequence of their business strategy and is not linked to imports from the countries concerned.
Glede na to utemeljitev bi bilo treba torej položaj proizvajalcev Unije obravnavati kot posledico njihove poslovne strategije in ne kot povezanega z uvozom iz zadevnih držav.
As seen above in section E.2 and G.4 the investigation has indeed revealed a heterogeneous picture of the Union industry.
Kot je navedeno v oddelkih E.2 in G.4, je preiskava pokazala heterogeno sliko industrije Unije.
Parts of the industry are producing unbranded footwear in the mid- to low-end of the product segment and are selling through wholesalers rather than directly to retail.
Deli industrije izdelujejo obutev brez blagovne znamke v segmentu srednjega do nižjega cenovnega razreda in prodajajo preko trgovcev na debelo, namesto neposredno trgovcem na drobno.
But this does not mean that these companies are inefficient by nature.
To pa ne pomeni, da so te družbe po naravi neučinkovite.
What is clear from the investigation is that, irrespective of their competitive position, their difficult situation is being materially caused by dumped imports.
Preiskava je jasno pokazala, da je za njihov položaj bistven razlog dampinški uvoz, ne glede na njihov težek konkurenčni položaj.
As a consequence they are in an extremely difficult financial situation and their state has deteriorated sharply during the period considered.
Zato so v zelo težkem finančnem položaju in njihovo stanje se je med obravnavanim obdobjem močno poslabšalo.
Many of these companies are making efforts to reorient to the mid- to high-end segment and to change distribution channels but the current pressure cause by dumped imports makes this development extremely difficult.
Veliko teh družb se poskuša preusmeriti na srednji do visoki segment in spremeniti distribucijske poti, vendar trenutni pritisk, ki ga povzroča dampinški uvoz, to močno otežuje.
Notwithstanding their marked improvement and adaptation of business model, those companies that have redefined business model do not reach the target profits of 6 % as established in the original investigation.
Družbe, ki so izboljšale in na novo opredelile poslovni model, kljub opaznemu napredku in prilagoditvi poslovnega modela ne dosegajo ciljnega dobička 6 % določenega v prvotni preiskavi.
This shows that also this group is affected by the overall downward pressure exerted across all segments as a consequence of the dumped imports.
To kaže, da tudi na to skupino vpliva splošni pritisk na znižanje cen v vseh segmentih, ki je posledica dampinškega uvoza.
It is therefore likely that this group would have been able to recover fully had they not been faced with the downward pressure on price caused by continued (and even increased) imports of dumped leather footwear.
Zato je verjetno, da bi si ta skupina lahko popolnoma opomogla, če se ne bi soočala s pritiskom na znižanje cen, ki ga je povzročilo nadaljevanje (in celo povečanje) uvoza dampinške usnjene obutve.
The fact that even the companies that have moved to a new business model are still affected by the injurious dumping despite being highly efficient in terms of pooling of resources and specialisation, would suggest that lack of efficiency and structural problems within the industry is not breaking the link between the dumping and the injury sustained.
Dejstvo, da celo na družbe, ki so spremenile poslovni model, še vedno vpliva škodljivi damping, čeprav so zelo učinkovite v smislu združevanja virov in specializacije, nakazuje, da pomanjkanje učinkovitosti in strukturne težave ne prekinjajo povezave med dampingom in utrpelo škodo.
Several interested parties have indicated that the growing footwear industry in other third countries has dramatically increased exports to the Union.
Več zainteresiranih strank je trdilo, da je rastoča industrija obutve v drugih tretjih državah vplivala na dramatično povečanje izvoza v Uniji.
In this respect it has been claimed that imports from third countries had a significant impact on the situation of the Union industry during the period considered and would be equally important when analysing the likely continuation or recurrence of injury should measures be discontinued.
V zvezi s tem so trdile, da je imel uvoz iz tretjih držav med obravnavanim obdobjem velik vpliv na položaj industrije Unije in bi bil enako pomemben pri analizi podobnega položaja ali ponovitve škode ob morebitni ukinitvi ukrepa.
According to these parties the termination of the measures would affect the balance of imports between imports from the countries concerned and imports from other countries since there is substitution between these sources.
Po navedbah teh strank bi ukinitev ukrepov vplivala na ravnovesje med uvozom iz zadevnih držav in uvozom iz drugih držav, saj med temi viri obstaja zamenljivost.
The termination of measures would therefore have no effect on the Union industry.
Ukinitev ukrepov zato ne bi imela nobenega vpliva na industrijo Unije.
In this respect the investigation has shown that imports from third countries with low prices such as India and Indonesia are large and increasing.
V zvezi s tem je preiskava pokazala, da je uvoz iz tretjih držav z nizkimi cenami, kakor sta Indija in Indonezija, velik in da narašča.
The footwear sector is to a large extent organised in international groups having different production bases in different countries.
Sektor obutve je v veliki meri organiziran v mednarodne skupine, ki imajo različne proizvodne obrate v različnih državah.
This allows for a certain degree of flexibility to shift production once a production base is established in other countries.
To omogoča določeno stopnjo prilagodljivosti za selitev proizvodnje, ko je proizvodni obrat ustanovljen v drugih državah.
The investigation has shown that the establishment in a new country could be done in one to two years.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je ustanovitev obrata v novi državi mogoča v enem do dveh let.
In terms of market share, the shares lost by China and Vietnam may have been taken over by other exporting countries — in particular by India and Indonesia.
Glede tržnega deleža so delež, ki sta ga izgubila Kitajska in Vietnam, morda prevzele druge države izvoznice – zlasti Indija in Indonezija.
However, the effect of their prices is not comparable to the effect of prices of imports from China and Vietnam.
Vendar učinek njihovih cen ni primerljiv z učinkom cen uvoza iz Kitajske in Vietnama.
While not taking into account differences in product mix the difference in price is particularly stark in the case of India, where the average export price is 25,8 % higher than the average export price of shoes imported from Vietnam and 40,3 % higher than the average export price of shoes imported from China.
Če se ne upoštevajo razlike v prodajnem programu, je razlika v ceni zlasti očitna v primeru Indije, kjer je izvozna cena za 25,8 % višja od povprečne izvozne cene obutve, uvožene iz Vietnama, in za 40,3 % višja od povprečne izvozne cene obutve, uvožene iz Kitajske.
Therefore their effect on the Union industry is significantly less pronounced.
Zato je njihov vpliv na industrijo Unije bistveno manj izrazit.
The average export price of shoes imported from Indonesia is 13,2 % higher than the average price of shoes imported from China and comparable to the average export price of shoes imported from Vietnam.
Povprečna izvozna cena obutve, uvožene iz Indonezije, je za 13,2 % višja od povprečne cene obutve, uvožene iz Kitajske, in primerljiva s povprečno izvozno ceno obutve, uvožene iz Vietnama.
Nevertheless the volumes of Indonesian imports would still mean that their relative impact would be limited.
Kljub temu obseg uvoza iz Indonezije še vedno pomeni, da bi bil njegov relativni učinek omejen.
Having regard to the above, the relative volumes and higher prices of imports from other Asian countries do not allow to conclude that their effect would be sufficient to breach the link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the large volumes of dumped imports from China and Vietnam.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno sorazmeren obseg in višje cene uvoza iz drugih azijskih držav ne dopuščajo sklepa, da bi njihov učinek zadostoval za prekinitev zveze med škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in velikim obsegom dampinškega uvoza iz Kitajske in Vietnama.
Impact of changes in consumption and consumer preference and impact of changes in the structure of the retail sector in the Union
Vpliv sprememb v potrošnji in potrošnikovi prednostni izbiri ter vpliv sprememb v strukturi sektorja trgovine na drobno v Uniji
It has also been claimed that the poor performance of the Union industry should not be linked to imports from the countries concerned but rather to a decline in consumption in the Union.
Trdilo se je tudi, da se slabe uspešnosti industrije Unije ne bi smelo povezovati z uvozom iz zadevnih držav, temveč z upadom potrošnje v Uniji.
This decline in consumption would allegedly be linked to changes in fashion trends that have moved from formal towards more casual footwear.
To zmanjšanje potrošnje naj bi bilo povezano s spreminjanjem modnih trendov in preusmeritvijo s formalne obutve na obutev za prosti čas.
Accordingly, the consumer has switched preference in favour of low price segment typically represented by imports from third countries.
V skladu s tem je potrošnik spremenil prednostno izbiro v prid segmenta z nižjimi cenami, ki ga običajno predstavlja uvoz iz tretjih držav.
In this context the investigation has shown that there has been a decrease in consumption of product concerned.
V zvezi s tem je preiskava pokazala, da je prišlo do zmanjšanja potrošnje zadevnega izdelka.
However, if there had been full substitutability between leather shoes and other materials, this decrease would have been much more pronounced.
Če bi obstajala popolna zamenljivost med usnjeno obutvijo in drugimi materiali, pa bi bilo to zmanjšanje precej izrazitejše.
The decrease in consumption and changes in consumer preference would therefore not on its own appear to be a factor that would break the causal link.
Zmanjšanje potrošnje in sprememba potrošnikove izbire tako sama po sebi ne moreta biti dejavnika, ki bi prekinila vzročno zvezo.
The investigation has also shown that the retail of shoes has diversified from the traditional shoe shop to a number of new outlets including department stores, general apparel shops as well as super/hyper markets, which account for a very significant amount of sale, possibly exceeding 40 %.
Preiskava je tudi pokazala, da se je prodaja obutve na drobno s tradicionalne trgovine z obutvijo preusmerila na številne prodajne možnosti, vključno z nakupovalnimi centri, splošnimi trgovinami z oblačili, pa tudi s super/hipermarketi, ki predstavljajo velik del prodaje, ki je lahko večji od 40 %.
It has also been argued that this highly competitive scenario exerts a downward pressure on prices and that this effect has had a higher impact on the Union industry than the dumped imports.
Trdilo se je tudi, da to zelo konkurenčno okolje pritiska na nižanje cen in močneje vpliva na industrijo Unije kot dampinški uvoz.
While pressure from the retail sector as such cannot be ruled out as a factor that may have had an impact on the Union industry it must however be borne in mind that also this structure is dependent on finding suppliers that can supply at such low prices.
Čeprav pritiska sektorja prodaje na drobno kot takega ni mogoče izključiti kot dejavnika, ki je lahko vplival na industrijo Unije, je treba upoštevati, da je tudi ta struktura odvisna od pridobivanja dobaviteljev, ki lahko dobavljajo po tako nizkih cenah.
The large volumes of dumped products have most certainly been a key factor in developing and maintaining this price pressure.
Velik obseg dampinških izdelkov je bil zagotovo ključni dejavnik za nastanek in ohranitev tega pritiska na cene.
Furthermore, the fact that the Union producers have managed to increase prices would also indicate that the impact of the changes in the retail structure is not such as to break the link between the injury and the dumped imports.
Poleg tega pa dejstvo, da je proizvajalcem Unije uspelo zvišati cene, nakazuje na to, da vpliv sprememb v strukturi prodaje na drobno ni tolikšen, da bi prekinil povezavo med škodo in dampinškim uvozom.
Impact of the Union producers’ export performance
Vpliv izvoza proizvajalcev Unije
The poor export performance of the Union industry linked to the strength of the EURO against the USD was also put forward as a cause of the injury suffered by the Union industry and that therefore as such had to be distinguished from the effects of imports from the countries concerned.
Nezadosten izvoz industrije Unije, povezan z močjo eura glede na ameriški dolar, je bil prav tako izpostavljen kot vzrok za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in ga je zato treba ločiti od vpliva uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
