Replies to the questionnaire for associations of wholesalers, distributors and retailers were received from the European association of fashion retailers (AEDT), the European Branded Footwear Coalition (EBFC), the European Outdoor Group (EOG), EuroCommerce representing the retail, wholesale and international trade sectors in Europe, the Federation of European Sporting Goods Industries (FESI), the Foreign Trade Association (FTA), the Dutch association of fashion, shoes and sports retailers MITEX, and Svenskt Sportforum.
Odgovori na vprašalnik za združenja trgovcev na debelo, distributerjev in trgovcev na drobno so bili prejeti od Evropskega združenja trgovcev mode (AEDT), Evropske koalicije za obutev blagovnih znamk (EBFC), European Outdoor Group (EOG), EuroCommerce, ki predstavlja maloprodajni, veleprodajni in mednarodni trgovinski sektor v Evropi, Združenja evropske industrije športnih izdelkov (FESI), Združenja za zunanjo trgovino (FTA), Nizozemskega združenja trgovcev na drobno za modo, obutev in športne izdelke MITEX in Svenskt Sportforum.
No supermarket chain responded to the questionnaire, however Lidl provided information on its purchases and resales of the product concerned between 2005 and 2008.
Na vprašalnik ni odgovoril noben supermarket, je pa Lidl zagotovil informacije o svojih nakupih in preprodaji zadevnega izdelka med leti 2005 in 2008.
The above associations and retailers opposed the measures and any prolongation thereof, basically arguing that the measures decreased profitability and caused many retailers to search for alternative sources of supply.
Zgoraj našteta združenja in trgovci na drobno so nasprotovali ukrepom in njihovemu podaljšanju, v glavnem s trditvijo, da so ukrepi zmanjšali dobiček, zaradi česar je veliko trgovcev na drobno moralo iskati alternativne vire nabave.
They have also claimed that the extension of the measures would harm the European footwear industry which has successfully adapted to the challenges and opportunities of modern markets which outsource manufacturing.
Trdili so tudi, da bi podaljšanje ukrepov škodilo evropski industriji obutve, ki se je uspešno prilagodila izzivom in možnostim modernih trgov, ki oddajajo dele proizvodnje.
They maintained that the measures have not avoided massive delocalization of production which will not come back to the Union as Union producers are unable to fulfil the demand for a wide choice of quality footwear at low prices.
Trdili so, da ukrepi niso preprečili velikega preseljevanja proizvodnje, ki se ne bo vrnila v Unijo, saj proizvajalci Unije ne morejo izpolniti povpraševanja po široki izbiri kakovostne obutve po nizkih cenah.
In order to assess the claim of decreased profit margins since the imposition of anti-dumping measures, in a first step, an analysis of the distributors/retailers purchase prices of the product concerned as compared to the sales prices they achieved during the period 2005-RIP, was made.
Da bi ocenili trditev o zmanjšanih stopnjah dobička od uvedbe protidampinških ukrepov, je bila najprej narejena analiza nabavnih cen distributerjev/trgovcev na drobno zadevnega izdelka v primerjavi s prodajnimi cenami, ki so jih imeli med letom 2005 in OPP.
As described in recital 425 above, based on the questionnaire replies of the sampled importers it appeared that the importers’ resale prices, which equal the distributors/retailers’ purchase prices, were stable or increased only slightly during the period 2005 - RIP.
Kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi (425), je na podlagi izpolnjenih vprašalnikov vzorčenih uvoznikov kazalo, da so bile preprodajne cene uvoznikov, enake nabavnim cenam distributerjev/trgovcev na drobno, med letom 2005 in OPP stabilne ali so se malo zvišale.
In a second step, the development of the resale prices was examined, and, due to the lack of precise data submitted by retailers, information was collected from statistical offices of Member States which altogether represented 66 % of the Union population.
Nato je bil preučeno gibanje cen pri nadaljnji prodaji, zaradi pomanjkanja natančnih podatkov, ki so jih predložili trgovci na drobno, pa so bile zbrane informacije statističnih uradov držav članic, ki so skupaj predstavljali 66 % prebivalstva Unije.
This information suggests that the retail price development during the period considered had, generally, been one of a very modest increase, as the below table shows:
Te informacije kažejo, da so se cene pri nadaljnji prodaji med zadevnim obdobjem na splošno zelo malo dvignile, kot kaže spodnja preglednica:
Average consumer prices in certain Member States (indexed)
Povprečne potrošniške cene v nekaterih državah članicah (indeksirane)

‘footwear’
„obutev“
‘children footwear’
„otroška obutev“
‘ladies footwear’
„ženska obutev“
‘men's footwear’
„moška obutev“
The above mentioned categories of shoes, although not exactly matching the product definition, are dominated by the product in question and the trends above can therefore be considered as a valid reference for the retail sales prices of the product concerned.
V zgoraj navedenih kategorijah obutve, čeprav se ne ujemajo natančno z opredelitvijo izdelka, prevladuje zadevni izdelek in zato se lahko šteje, da so ta gibanja veljavna referenca za maloprodajne cene zadevnega izdelka.
The above trends were further confirmed by several interested parties which submitted that the retail prices had remained relatively stable for a longer period and in any case throughout the period 2005 - RIP.
Zgornja gibanja so potrdile tudi nekatere zainteresirane stranke, ki so navedle, da so bile maloprodajne cene dalj časa razmeroma stabilne, vsekakor pa med letom 2005 in OPP.
They explained the fact that the prices of shoes at retail level had been stable for such a long period by (i) favourable cost factors as the continuous shift of production to low cost countries and the favourable exchange rate development and (ii) the principle of ‘price points’ which is applied by retailers and the consumer willingness to pay.
Pojasnile so, da so cene obutve na ravni prodaje na drobno stabilne tako dolgo zaradi (i) ugodnih stroškovnih dejavnikov, kakor sta selitev proizvodnje v države z nižjimi stroški in ugodno gibanje menjalnega tečaja in (ii) načela „cenovnih točk“, ki ga uporabljajo trgovci na drobno, ter pripravljenosti potrošnikov, da plačajo.
The principle of ‘price points’ is the fact that shoes are usually sold at fixed price points and not in between, for example a category of shoes is sold at EUR 44,95, one category up is EUR 49,95, one category further up is EUR 54,95 etcetera.
Načelo „cenovnih točk“ pomeni, da se obutev običajno prodaja po fiksnih cenovnih točkah in ne po vmesnih cenah, na primer kategorija obutve se prodaja za 44,95 EUR, ena kategorija višje za 49,95 EUR, še ena višje za 54,95 EUR itd.
As the information submitted by retailers was not detailed enough, it has not been possible to directly obtain retailers’ profitability data.
Ker informacije, ki so jih predložili trgovci na drobno, niso bile dovolj natančne, ni bilo mogoče neposredno pridobiti podatkov o dobičkonosnosti trgovcev na drobno.
However, comparing the retailers’ purchase price development, as mentioned under recital 462 above, with their resale price development, as mentioned under recital 463 et. seqq. above, there is no sign of shrinking profit margins which can be attributed to the cost effect of the duties as the purchase prices of the product concerned remained stable or increased slightly, whereas the resale prices increased slightly.
Vendar pri primerjavi gibanja nabavnih cen trgovcev na drobno, kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (462), z gibanjem njihovih cen pri nadaljnji prodaji, kakor je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah (463) in nadaljnjih uvodnih izjavah, nič ne kaže na zmanjšanje stopenj dobička, ki se ga lahko pripiše vplivu dajatev na cene, saj je nabavna cena zadevnega izdelka ostala stabilna ali se je rahlo zvišala, medtem ko se je maloprodajna cena rahlo zvišala.
As concerns the general level of profitability of the retail sector, there are some indications that this is lower than the profit level achieved by the importers.
Glede splošne stopnje dobičkonosnosti sektorja trgovine na drobno kaže, da je nižja od stopnje dobičkonosnosti uvoznikov.
Furthermore, according to the specialized press, some regions in particular appear to be particularly competitive and difficult from a retailers’ point of view (strong competition, consolidation process in the market, strong dependence on the financial market which is reluctant to invest and strategic failures).
Poleg tega strokovni tisk poroča, da so nekatere regije z vidika trgovcev na drobno še posebej konkurenčne in težavne (močna konkurenca, konsolidacija na trgu, močna odvisnost od finančnega trga, ki ne želi investirati, in strateški neuspehi).
At the same time, however, one of the largest shoe retail chains operating in the Union reported record profits in 2008 in the press and announced ambitious expansion plans.
Po drugi strani pa je po poročanju tiska ena izmed največjih verig trgovcev obutve na drobno, ki deluje v Uniji, leta 2008 zabeležila rekorden dobiček in najavila ambiciozne načrte za širitev.
As concerns the retailers’ overall profitability, it should also be noted that the effect of the anti-dumping duty is, in any case, diluted by the turnover achieved on their other products like STAF, leather footwear from other origins, other kinds of footwear and accessories.
Glede splošne dobičkonosnosti trgovcev na drobno je treba tudi opozoriti, da je učinek protidampinške dajatve vsekakor oslabljen zaradi prometa, ki so ga ti trgovci imeli pri drugih izdelkih, kot so obutev STAF, usnjena obutev s poreklom iz drugih držav, druge vrste obutve in dodatki.
To conclude, the argument of decreasing profitability was not substantiated by the retailers during the review investigation and also the findings of the investigation did not support such a statement.
Za zaključek, trgovci na drobno med preiskavo zaradi izteka ukrepov niso utemeljili argumenta o zmanjšanju dobičkonosnosti, hkrati pa tega ni potrdila preiskava.
From the information available it appears to be more likely that the imposition of anti-dumping measures did not negatively affect the retailers from 2006 until the RIP, or just to a limited extent.
Razpoložljive informacije kažejo, da verjetneje uvedba protidampinških ukrepov med letom 2006 in OPP ni negativno vplivala na trgovce na drobno oziroma je bil njen učinek omejen.
The limited information available concerning the impact of the economic downturn post-RIP on the footwear retail sector points at decreasing margins and weakening of demand during the first nine months following the RIP.
Omejene informacije, ki so bile na voljo glede vpliva gospodarskega upada po OPP na obutveni sektor prodaje na drobno, kažejo na nižanje marž in zmanjšanje povpraševanja v prvih devetih mesecih po OPP.
However, the information was submitted only by one company, mainly operating in one specific region, which is also operating as importer and can therefore not be considered as representative for the retail sector in general.
Vendar je informacije predložila samo ena družba, ki v glavnem deluje v eni določeni regiji in ki je tudi uvoznik, zaradi česar se je na splošno ne more šteti za reprezentativno za sektor prodaje na drobno.
Furthermore, specialized press has reported a significant improvement of the shoe retail sector situation in that region (with increasing sales volumes and revenues) since mid-2009.
Poleg tega je strokovni tisk od sredine leta 2009 v tej regiji beležil znatno izboljšanje položaja obutvenega sektorja prodaje na drobno (s povečanjem obsega prodaje in prihodkov).
Consequently, in the absence of representative cooperation from the retail sector, no final conclusions could be drawn on the exact impact of the economic downturn.
Zaradi pomanjkanja reprezentativnega sodelovanja sektorja prodaje na drobno ni mogoče priti do končnega zaključka o natančnem vplivu gospodarskega upada.
Against the background of the current economic downturn, it is likely that the consumption of leather footwear will decrease and the price pressure exerted by increasingly price sensitive consumers will increase in the short to medium term.
Glede na sedanji gospodarski upad je verjetno, da se bo potrošnja usnjene obutve zmanjšala in da se bo pritisk na cene, ki ga izvajajo vedno bolj cenovno občutljivi potrošniki, kratko- do srednjeročno povečal.
On the other hand, importers would likely try to pass on at least partly their price increases to retailers.
Po drugi strani bodo uvozniki verjetno poskušali vsaj delno prenesti zvišanje cen na trgovce na drobno.
Thus the retailers’ sandwich position between importers and consumers could lead to an increasingly difficult situation.
Zato bi ujetost trgovcev na drobno med uvoznike in potrošnike lahko privedla do vedno težjega položaja.
Those retailers/distributors operating in very competitive markets and sourcing predominantly leather shoes from the countries concerned could, in such a scenario, end up in a fragile situation given their relatively high costs and relatively low net margins.
Trgovci na drobno/distributerji, ki delujejo na zelo konkurenčnih trgih in večinoma nabavljajo usnjeno obutev v zadevnih državah, bi se lahko tako znašli v negotovem položaju zaradi razmeroma visokih stroškov in sorazmerno nizkega neto dobička.
A repeal of the anti-dumping measures on the product concerned would offer such companies relief in that scenario.
Razveljavitev protidampinških ukrepov za zadevni izdelek bi za te družbe v takšnih razmerah pomenil olajšanje.
For those retailers/distributors, however, that are sourcing also from third countries/Union and that have a more diversified product mix, the impact of possible price increases will likely be diluted in the turnover.
Učinek morebitnega zvišanja cen na tiste trgovce na drobno/distributerje, ki nabavljajo tudi v tretjih državah/Uniji in imajo bolj pestro ponudbo blaga, bi se verjetno v prihodku od prodaje manj občutil.
Moreover, the investigation has shown that although being in a particular market position, the importance of large retailers and retailer buying groups is sufficiently significant to prevent importers to fully pass on cost increases.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da so veliki trgovci na drobno in skupine dobaviteljev trgovcev na drobno kljub njihovemu posebnemu položaju na trgu dovolj pomembni, da uvoznikom preprečujejo popoln prenos zvišanja stroškov.
To conclude, those retailers which continue to source predominantly the product concerned will suffer more from any prolongation of the measures while those retailers with a more mixed and flexible business model, switching their sourcing to other alternative sources and diversifying their product mix, will probably be less affected - although they might suffer more than during the RIP.
Tisti trgovci na drobno, ki nabavljajo predvsem zadevni izdelek, bodo zaradi podaljšanja ukrepov bolj prizadeti, medtem ko bodo trgovci na drobno z bolj mešanim in prilagodljivim poslovnim modelom, ki prehajajo na druge alternativne vire nabave in imajo bolj raznoliko ponudbo blaga, verjetno manj prizadeti – čeprav je možno, da bodo prizadeti bolj kot med OPP.
It was argued that the measures had caused many retailers to search for alternative sources of supply.
Trdilo se je, da so zaradi ukrepov številni trgovci na drobno iskali alternativne vire nabave.
The information on the file shows that some retailers might indeed have changed their sourcing, but none of the retailers or their associations reported that there were shortages of supply or even difficulties to find alternative sources following the imposition of measures.
Informacije kažejo, da so nekateri trgovci na drobno resnično zamenjali svoje vire, nobeden od trgovcev na drobno ali njihovih združenj pa ni poročal o pomanjkanju ponudbe ali težavah z iskanjem alternativnih virov po uvedbi ukrepov.
Thus, while indeed several retailers have looked for alternative sources, the information suggests that they were successful in finding competitive alternative sources of supply.
Več trgovcev na drobno je res iskalo alternativne vire, informacije pa kažejo, da so bili pri iskanju konkurenčnih alternativnih virov nabave uspešni.
While it is acknowledged that this effort was time-consuming for some retailers, this is considered to be an indirect, not disproportionate effect of the imposition of measures as compared to the benefits for the European producers suffering from dumped imports.
Priznava se, da je bil ta postopek za nekatere trgovce na drobno dolgotrajen, vendar se šteje, da je bil to posreden učinek uvedbe ukrepov, ki ni nesorazmeren glede na koristi za evropske proizvajalce, ki so bili prizadeti zaradi dampinškega uvoza.
It was submitted by several interested parties that the favourable cost factors which had been in place during the period considered, as summarized in recital 465 above, had ended.
Več zainteresiranih strank je trdilo, da so se ugodni stroškovni dejavniki iz zadevnega obdobja, kakor je povzeto v uvodni izjavi (465), zaključili.
Instead, since the end of the RIP, the exchange rate development would have developed negatively and the production costs in the PRC and Vietnam were on the rise again.
Namesto tega je bilo od konca OPP gibanje menjalnega tečaja negativno in proizvodni stroški v LRK in Vietnamu so se ponovno začeli dvigovati.
Consequently, if the measures would be maintained, this would bring the retail sector in a difficult situation, having to move up price points.
Če bi se ukrepi ohranili, bi to postavilo sektor prodaje na drobno v težak položaj, saj bi morali zvišati cenovne točke.
This would not only result in higher prices at retail level but also less turnover and, in view of the high fixed cost, a strong decrease of profit.
To bi pomenilo ne le višje cene za prodajo na drobno, ampak tudi nižji promet in, zaradi visokih fiksnih stroškov, veliko zmanjšanje dobička.
As mentioned in recital 454 above, it is highly speculative to anticipate a depreciation of the Euro on the short and medium term.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (454), je napovedovanje znižanja eura na kratki in srednji rok zelo špekulativno.
Moreover, whereas rising costs in the PRC are likely to affect the importers’ position, the argument is not valid for retailers as the information on the file on sales prices of importers to retailers, during the period considered and post-RIP, demonstrates that price increases were passed on to retailers to a limited extent only.
Poleg tega, ker bo povečanje stroškov v LRK verjetno vplivalo na položaj uvoznikov, argument ne velja za trgovce na drobno, saj informacije v dokumentaciji glede cen uvoznikov za trgovce na drobno med zadevnim obdobjem in po OPP kažejo, da se je zvišanje cen na trgovce na drobno preneslo le v omejenem obsegu.
That points at a generally strong market position of retailers.
To kaže na splošno močan tržni položaj trgovcev na drobno.
Therefore, whereas it is acknowledged that the principle of ‘price points’ is widely used in the footwear retail sector and that it allows for smaller price increases to attract less attention from the consumer, there are no indications on the file that retailers are confronted with an overall significant increase in purchase prices of the product concerned.
Zato, ker se priznava, da se načelo „cenovnih točk“ široko uporablja v obutvenem sektorju prodaje na drobno in dovoljuje manjše zvišanje cen, ki ga potrošniki manj občutijo, v dokumentaciji ni nobenega dokaza za to, da se trgovci na drobno soočajo s splošnim velikim zvišanjem nabavnih cen zadevnega izdelka.
There is, consequently, no evidence on the file that they would have to, in general, move up price points for the product concerned.
Zato v dokumentaciji ni nobenih dokazov, da bi morali, na splošno, zvišati cenovne točke za zadevni izdelek.
Furthermore, even if they would have to do so for certain specific models, the effect of that could be neutralized by changing sources or product mix.
Vendar, tudi če bi morali to storiti za nekatere posebne modele, bi lahko učinek nevtralizirali z zamenjavo virov ali ponudbe blaga.
In view of the above, the argument is dismissed.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno se ta argument zavrne.
To conclude, based on the limited information available, there are no indications that the measures had a significant adverse effect on the financial situation of distributors/retailers during the period 2006-RIP.
Glede na omejenost razpoložljivih informacij nič ne kaže, da bi ukrepi med letom 2006 in OPP znatno škodljivo vplivali na finančni položaj distributerjev/trgovcev na drobno.
Taking into consideration the likely effects of the economic downturn post-RIP, notably in view of the retailers’ sandwich position between importers and consumers and the possibly modest profits of retailers, it can however not be excluded that the financial situation of those retailers which are predominantly selling the product concerned will deteriorate.
Glede na verjetne učinke gospodarskega upada po OPP, zlasti z vidika položaja trgovcev na drobno med uvozniki in potrošniki ter morebitnega skromnega dobička trgovcev na drobno, ni mogoče izključiti, da se bo položaj trgovcev na drobno, ki pretežno prodajajo zadevni izdelek, poslabšal.
It is however noted that the retailers are free to source their products from other origins and to diversify the products offered so that they can mitigate the effects of anti-dumping duties in their turnover.
Ugotavlja se, da lahko trgovci na drobno svoje izdelke nabavljajo iz drugih virov in nudijo bolj raznolike izdelke ter tako ublažijo učinek protidampinških dajatev na prihodek.
In general, retailers are in a much more favourable market position than Union producers as they have the above described flexibility whereas the Union producers are fully exposed to the price pressure exerted by the imported dumped products.
Na splošno imajo trgovci na drobno precej ugodnejši položaj na trgu kot proizvajalci Unije, saj imajo zgoraj opisano prilagodljivost, medtem ko so proizvajalci Unije v celoti izpostavljeni pritisku izdelkov, uvoženih po dampinških cenah.
The Commission contacted 39 consumer associations in the Union to inform them about the initiation of the expiry review.
Komisija je stopila v stik z 39 združenji potrošnikov v Uniji, da bi jih obvestila o začetku pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepov.
These associations were explicitly invited to explain their position on the existing measures and to provide any other information that might be relevant for the investigation.
Združenja so bila izrecno pozvana, da pojasnijo svoje mnenje o obstoječih ukrepih in zagotovijo kakršne koli druge informacije, ki bi lahko bile pomembne za preiskavo.
Three consumer organisations came forward as an interested party and submitted comments in writing.
Javile so se tri organizacije potrošnikov kot zainteresirana stranka in predložile pisne pripombe.
Two national consumer associations indicated their support for the anti-dumping measures.
Dve nacionalni združenji potrošnikov sta izrazili podporo protidampinškim ukrepom.
One of them specifically mentioned that, even with the measures imposed, prices of footwear from the countries concerned remain very low.
Eno izmed njih je navedlo, da so kljub uvedenim ukrepom cene obutve iz zadevnih držav zelo nizke.
The European consumers’ organisation BEUC opposed the measures, inter alia arguing that the measures were harmful to the consumer.
Evropsko združenje potrošnikov BEUC je nasprotovalo ukrepom, med drugim s trditvijo, da ukrepi škodujejo potrošnikom.
In this respect, in the original investigation, the impact on consumers was predicted to be limited assuming that the relatively moderate duty rates would be diluted in the different layers of the distribution chain and not fully be passed on to consumers.
V zvezi s tem je bilo v prvotni preiskavi predvideno, da bo vpliv na potrošnike omejen, ker bodo razmeroma nizke stopnje dajatev oslabljene v različnih plasteh distribucijske verige in ne bodo v celoti prenesene na potrošnike.
Nevertheless, a ‘worst case’ scenario was drawn up, i.e. a full pass-on to consumer was estimated.
Kljub temu je bil sestavljen „najhujši možni“ scenarij, tj. ocenjen je bil popoln prenos na potrošnika.
