The applicant alleged in its request for review that ‘tape’ grade does not fall within the scope of the product concerned as defined in the original Regulation because it is made of pre-coloured yarns and therefore corresponds to the product described in recital 17 above.
Vložnik je v svojem zahtevku za pregled trdil, da izdelek kakovosti „trak“ ne spada v obseg zadevnega izdelka, kakor je opredeljen v prvotni uredbi, ker je izdelan iz predbarvane preje in zato ustreza izdelku, opisanem v uvodni izjavi 17 zgoraj.
That is primarily a question for the national authorities, if necessary using binding tariff information and/or with the help of a request for a preliminary ruling by the Court of Justice of the European Communities.
To je predvsem vprašanje za nacionalne organe, po potrebi z uporabo zavezujoče tarifne informacije in/ali zahtevka za predhodno odločanje Sodišča Evropskih skupnosti.
Nevertheless, if none of the products imported by the applicant can possibly be covered by the anti-dumping duty imposed by the original Regulation, this review investigation would appear to have no practical sense.
Vendar, bi bila ta preiskava v zvezi s pregledom nesmiselna, če dajatev, uvedena s prvotno uredbo, ne bi mogla zajeti nobenega izdelka, ki ga uvaža uvoznik.
The investigation revealed in this regard that the ‘tape’ grade is made of pre-coloured yarns but that these yarns are not of different colour and that no apparent pattern is created by weaving these yarns.
Preiskava s tem v zvezi je pokazala, da se izdelek kakovosti „trak“ izdeluje iz predbarvane preje, ki pa ni različnih barv, in da se s tkanjem te preje ne ustvari očiten vzorec.
Therefore, for the purpose of this investigation, it is considered that ‘tape’ grade is distinguishable from the product described in recital 17 above.
Zato se pri tej preiskavi šteje, da se izdelek kakovosti „trak“ razlikuje od izdelka, opisanega v uvodni izjavi 17.
Subsequent to the final disclosure, the applicant claimed that ‘tape’ grade should be considered as made of yarns of different colours, because the carbon which is not homogeneously melted in the polyester yarn creates shades of black colour in the yarn.
Po dokončnem razkritju je vložnik trdil, da je treba izdelek kakovosti „trak“ obravnavati kot izdelanega iz preje različnih barv, ker ogljik, ki se v poliestrski preji ne stopi enakomerno, v njej ustvari odtenke črne barve.
The applicant justifies this claim by a reference to the subheading notes to Section XI of Part two in Annex I of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2658/87 of 23 July 1987 on the tariff and statistical nomenclature and on the Common Customs Tariff [5], in which the definition of woven fabric of yarns of different colours includes woven fabric which consists of yarns of different shades of the same colour and by reference to opinions of independent experts.
Svojo trditev je utemeljeval s sklicevanjem na opombo k tarifnim podštevilkam v Oddelku XI drugega dela Priloge I k Uredbi Sveta (EGS) št. 2658/87 z dne 23. julija 1987 o tarifni in statistični nomenklaturi ter skupni carinski tarifi [5], v kateri opredelitev tkanin iz prej različnih barv zajema tkanine, izdelane iz preje raznih odtenkov iste barve; skliceval se je tudi na mnenja neodvisnih strokovnjakov.
In reply to this claim, it is recalled that this Regulation does not aim at defining under which CN code imports of ‘tape’ grade should be declared.
Pri odgovoru na to trditev je treba opozoriti, da namen te uredbe ni opredeljevanje, pod katero oznako KN se mora prijaviti uvoz izdelka kakovosti „trak“.
Therefore, this claim was considered irrelevant for the purposes of this investigation since, as mentioned above, questions regarding customs classifications are primarily for the competent national authorities.
Zato se je navedena zahteva za to preiskavo štela za nepomembno, saj so zgoraj navedena vprašanja glede carinske uvrstitve namenjena predvsem pristojnim nacionalnim organom.
In its request for review, the applicant also claimed that at the initiation and provisional stages, the original investigation focused on PFF for apparel applications only, and that only these types of fabrics were supposed to be included in the definition of the product concerned and targeted by the anti-dumping measures.
V zahtevku za pregled je vložnik tudi trdil, da je bila prvotna preiskava na začetku in v začasni fazi osredotočena na TPF, ki se uporabljajo samo pri oblačilih, in da naj bi bile samo te vrste tkanin zajete v opredelitev zadevnega izdelka in predmet protidampinških ukrepov.
The applicant also maintained that the product scope of the original investigation was expanded only in the original Regulation imposing definitive anti-dumping measures to cover all types of uses.
Vložnik je tudi vztrajal, da je bil obseg izdelka iz prvotne preiskave razširjen na vse vrste uporab šele v prvotni uredbi o uvedbi dokončnih protidampinških ukrepov.
It further claimed that ‘tape’ grade is used for a very specific application by the automotive industry and should therefore not be considered as being part of the product concerned.
Trdil je tudi, da se izdelek kakovosti „trak“ uporablja v avtomobilski industriji za zelo specifičen namen in se zato ne bi smel šteti za del zadevnega izdelka.
As regards this claim, it is noted that the notice of initiation of the original investigation [6] made reference to PFF ‘normally used for apparel applications’ and not to PFF exclusively used for apparel applications.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da se obvestilo o začetku prvotne preiskave [6] sklicuje na TPF, ki se „običajno uporabljajo pri oblačilih“, in ne TPF, ki se uporabljajo izključno pri oblačilih.
This means that there has been no expansion of the product concerned between the initiation stage and the imposition of definitive measures, as alleged by the applicant.
To pomeni, da med začetkom postopka in uvedbo dokončnih ukrepov ni bilo razširitve zadevnega izdelka, kakor trdi vložnik.
Moreover, apart from a clarification on the product scope regarding the inclusion of ‘dyed white’ PFF, there is no other difference between the product concerned as defined in Commission Regulation (EC) No 426/2005 [7] (the provisional Regulation) and the definitive Regulation of the original investigation (i.e. the original Regulation).
Poleg tega razen razjasnitve obsega izdelka glede vključitve „beljenih“ TPF ni nobene druge razlike med zadevnim izdelkom, kot je opredeljen v Uredbi Komisije (ES) št. 426/2005 [7] (v nadaljnjem besedilu: začasna uredba) in v dokončni uredbi prvotne preiskave (tj. prvotni uredbi).
In both Regulations, neither the operative part (Article 1(1)) nor the recitals regarding the definition of the product concerned exclude PFF imported for a specific end-use from the duty.
V obeh uredbah niti operativni del (odstavek 1 člena 1) niti uvodne izjave glede opredelitve zadevnega izdelka iz dajatve ne izključujejo TPF-jev, uvoženih za specifično končno uporabo.
In the provisional Regulation, particularly in the first sentence of its recital 11, the product concerned is described in terms of its physical characteristics.
V začasni uredbi, zlasti v prvem stavku uvodne izjave 11, je zadevni izdelek opredeljen glede na fizikalne lastnosti.
Again, it is merely stated that PFF are ‘normally’ used for apparel applications, without this being in any way a condition for them to be covered by the investigation and/or the (provisional) duty.
Tudi tukaj je navedeno le, da se TPF „običajno“ uporabljajo pri oblačilih, ne da bi bila s tem na kakršen koli način pogojena njihova vključitev v preiskavo in/ali (začasno) dajatev.
Later, in view of the numerous possible applications that were discovered in the course of the original investigation, such as furniture or home decoration, it was explicitly recalled, in recital 6 of the original Regulation, that all PFF were covered by the product definition, regardless of their final use.
Glede na številne možne uporabe, ki so bile ugotovljene med prvotno preiskavo, npr. za pohištvo ali notranjo dekoracijo, je bilo kasneje, v uvodni izjavi 6 prvotne uredbe, izrecno navedeno, da opredelitev izdelka zajema vse TPF, ne glede na njihovo končno uporabo.
Therefore, ‘tape’ grade and all other PFF, including PFF for automotive applications, were included in the definition of the product concerned in the original investigation.
Zato so bili izdelek kakovosti „trak“ in vsi drugi TPF, vključno TPF za uporabo v avtomobilski industriji, v prvotni preiskavi zajeti v opredelitvi zadevnega izdelka.
The applicant also claimed, along similar lines as the arguments described above, that it could not properly exercise its right of defence in the original investigation as the scope of the product concerned was broadened between the provisional and definitive stage while no specific information concerning this change was sent to possible interested parties.
Vložnik je s podobnimi utemeljitvami trdil tudi, da v prvotni preiskavi ni mogel ustrezno uveljavljati svoje pravice do obrambe, ker je bil obseg zadevnega izdelka med začasno in dokončno fazo razširjen, morebitne zainteresirane stranke pa niso bile posebej obveščene o tej spremembi.
The applicant claimed that this was the reason why neither the applicant nor its Chinese supplier cooperated in the original investigation.
Vložnik je trdil, da je bil to razlog, da niti sam niti njegov kitajski dobavitelj nista sodelovala v prvotni preiskavi.
It is recalled that, as mentioned in recital 22, the product definition was not expanded during the original investigation, as other possible uses than apparel were considered already as from the initiation stage.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 22, da opredelitev izdelka med prvotno preiskavo ni bila razširjena, saj so bile uporabe, ki ne zadevajo samo oblačil, upoštevane že v začetni fazi.
Moreover, the applicant is an experienced commercial importer which cooperated in other anti-dumping investigations and is therefore well aware of the procedures and information sources (such as the Official Journal) regarding these investigations.
Poleg tega je vložnik izkušen komercialni uvoznik, ki je sodeloval že v drugih protidampinških preiskavah in zato dobro pozna postopke in vire informacij v zvezi s temi preiskavami (npr. Uradni list).
In this context, it is also important to note that, as shown in recitals 9 and 10 of the original Regulation, subsequent to the publication of the provisional Regulation, several interested parties raised claims against the imposition of measures on PFF for non-apparel applications (e.g. furniture, home decoration, umbrellas).
Pri tem je pomembno opozoriti, da je, kot je razvidno iz uvodnih izjav 9 in 10 prvotne uredbe, po objavi začasne uredbe več zainteresiranih strank ugovarjalo uvedbi ukrepov na TPF za uporabo, ki ne zadeva oblačil (npr. pohištvo, notranja dekoracija, dežniki).
This shows that interested parties understood that the investigation was never restricted to PFF used for apparel applications.
To kaže, da so zainteresirane stranke razumele, da preiskava nikoli ni bila omejena le na TPF, ki se uporabljajo za oblačila.
In view of the above, the claim had to be rejected.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenega je bilo treba to trditev zavrniti.
Subsequent to the final disclosure, the applicant further claimed that it had submitted comments in the course of the original investigation and that in parallel it had also actively discussed the case with a number of textile associations involved in that investigation.
Po dokončnem razkritju je vložnik nadalje trdil, da je predložil pripombe med prvotno preiskavo ter obenem o primeru tudi aktivno razpravljal s številnimi tekstilnimi združenji, ki jih preiskava zadeva.
According to the applicant, at no time was there any indication from the Commission that ‘tape’ grade fabric might fall within the scope of the investigation or the measures.
Po navedbah vložnika Komisija ni nikoli opozorila, da bi material kakovosti „trak“ lahko spadal v obseg preiskave ali ukrepov.
It is first noted that it is clear that the applicant was fully aware of the existence of the original investigation.
Najprej je treba opozoriti, da je bil vložnik nedvomno popolnoma seznanjen z obstojem prvotne preiskave.
Moreover, as explained above, that investigation did cover PFF from the very beginning.
Kot je pojasnjeno zgoraj, je ta preiskava TPF zajemala že od samega začetka.
In addition, the applicant did not bring any evidence that the Commission ever excluded ‘tape’ grade from the scope of the original investigation or that any party ever suggested that the Commission should do so.
Poleg tega vložnik ni predložil dokazov, da bi Komisija izdelek kakovosti „trak“ kadar koli izključila iz obsega prvotne preiskave ali da bi katera koli stranka kadar koli predlagala naj Komisija to stori.
Indeed, the comments submitted by the applicant during the original investigation concerned general Community interest aspects of the proceeding and issues related to the possible inclusion of bleached or unbleached fabrics in the scope of the anti-dumping measures.
Dejansko so pripombe, ki jih je vložnik predložil med prvotno preiskavo, zadevale splošne vidike interesa Skupnosti pri postopku ter vprašanja glede morebitne vključitve beljenih ali nebeljenih tkanin v obseg protidampinških ukrepov.
It may be that the applicant did not regard itself concerned by the original investigation as regards its ‘tape’ grade imports.
Morda se je vložniku zdelo, da prvotna preiskava njegovega uvoza izdelka kakovosti „trak“ ne zadeva.
If that was indeed the case, it would appear to be due to the fact that the applicant was declaring its imports of ‘tape’ grade under CN code 54075300, a code not targeted by the original investigation.
Če bi bilo to res, bi bil razlog očitno v tem, da je vložnik svoj uvoz prijavljal pod oznako KN 54075300, ki ni bila predmet prvotne preiskave.
However, the scope of an investigation is not limited by the fact that one operator may have declared goods which fall within that scope under an incorrect CN code.
Vendar obseg preiskave ni omejen z dejstvom, da je en gospodarski subjekt morda blago, ki spada v obseg preiskave, prijavljal pod napačno oznako KN.
On this basis, the claim of the applicant had to be rejected.
Na podlagi tega je bilo treba trditev vložnika zavrniti.
In view of the above, it is confirmed that imports of ‘tape’ grade originating from the PRC fall within the scope of the measures described in the original Regulation.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno se potrdi, da spada uvoz izdelka kakovosti „trak“ s poreklom iz LRK v obseg ukrepov, navedenih v prvotni uredbi.
Comparison between ‘tape’ grade and other types of PFF
Primerjava med izdelkom kakovosti „trak“ in drugimi vrstami TPF
In order to examine whether ‘tape’ grade and the other types of PFF form a single product, ‘tape’ grade and other types of PFF were compared in terms of basic physical, technical and/or chemical characteristics.
Da bi preverili, ali so izdelek kakovosti „trak“ in druge vrste TPF en sam izdelek, so se izdelek kakovosti „trak“ in druge vrste TPF primerjali glede na osnovne fizikalne, tehnične in/ali kemične lastnosti.
Other subsidiary criteria such as production process, prices, end-uses and interchangeability were also examined.
Preverila so se tudi druga merila subsidiarnosti, kot so proizvodni postopek, cene, končne uporabe in zamenljivost.
Physical and technical characteristics of ‘tape’ grade
Fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti izdelka kakovosti „trak“
The investigation showed that the yarns used to prepare the threads before weaving the ‘tape’ grade contain a small proportion of carbon (under 3 %).
Preiskava je pokazala, da vsebuje preja za pripravo niti pred tkanjem izdelka kakovosti „trak“ majhen delež ogljika (pod 3 %).
To produce this yarn, chips containing carbon are melted with chips of pure polyester, and the melt is forced through small holes to produce black filaments.
Za proizvodnjo te preje se drobci, ki vsebujejo ogljik, stopijo z drobci čistega poliestra, stopljena masa pa se iztisne skozi majhne luknje, da se naredijo črni filamenti.
Those filaments are then spun into black yarns.
Ti filamenti se nato stkejo v črno prejo.
The addition of carbon in the raw material confers to the ‘tape’ grade a black colouring that resists various discolouring treatments, whether chemical (washing in soap or dipping in a solvent bath) or mechanical (dry or wet rubbing).
Dodatek ogljika v surovini daje izdelku kakovosti „trak“ črno barvo, obstojno v različnih postopkih razbarvanja, kemičnih (pranje v milu ali namakanje v topilu) ali mehanskih (suho ali mokro drgnjenje).
The use of this raw material also lowers the tensile strength of the ‘tape’ grade fabric as compared to other types of PFF made of the same number of threads.
Uporaba te surovine obenem zmanjša natezno trdnost izdelka kakovosti „trak“ v primerjavi z drugimi vrstami TPF, izdelanimi iz enakega števila niti.
The applicant claimed that ‘tape’ grade could be further distinguished from other types of PFF as its lower tensile strength allows it to be torn by hand.
Vložnik je trdil, da je mogoče izdelek kakovosti „trak“ še dodatno razločiti od drugih vrst TPF, saj ga je zaradi manjše natezne trdnosti možno trgati z roko.
This property of ‘tape’ grade is a specific requirement from the automotive industry so that workers can quickly cut the adhesive tape when preparing the insulated cables.
Ta lastnost izdelka kakovosti „trak“ je posebna zahteva avtomobilske industrije, da lahko delavci pri pripravi izoliranih kablov lepilni trak hitro trgajo.
However, a Community producer of ‘tape’ grade is currently producing another type of ‘tape’ grade, also used by the automotive industry, that cannot be torn by hand.
Vendar proizvajalec izdelka kakovosti „trak“ iz Skupnosti trenutno proizvaja drugo vrsto izdelka kakovosti „trak“, ki ga prav tako uporablja avtomobilska industrija, a ga ni mogoče trgati z roko.
This fabric is also made of carbon-doped yarns but the proportion of carbon in the yarn is lower than for ‘tape’ grade produced by the cooperating Chinese exporting producer and imported by the applicant.
Tudi ta tkanina se izdeluje iz preje, ki vsebuje ogljik, vendar je njegov delež nižji kot v izdelku kakovosti „trak“, ki ga proizvaja sodelujoči kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik in uvaža vložnik.
This production activity and the specifications of the product sold by the Community producer were observed during the verification visit by the Commission.
To proizvodno dejavnost in specifikacije izdelka, ki ga prodaja proizvajalec Skupnosti, je Komisija proučila ob preveritvenem obisku.
It was also found that other types of PFF can also be torn by hand if the number of threads in the fabric is low.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da se lahko tudi druge vrste TPF trgajo z roko, če je število niti v tkanini majhno.
Therefore, this property could not be considered as a genuine characteristic of ‘tape’ grade as opposed to other types of PFF or a characteristic which would allow the exclusion of ‘tape’ grade from the definition of the product concerned.
Zato se ta lastnost ne more šteti za pravo značilnost izdelka kakovosti „trak“, ki bi bila drugačna od drugih vrst TPF ali bi omogočala izključitev izdelka kakovosti „trak“ iz opredelitve zadevnega izdelka.
The same applies for the comparison on tensile strength.
Isto velja tudi za primerjavo glede natezne trdnosti.
Subsequent to the final disclosure, the applicant insisted that ‘tape’ grade has a measurably lower tensile strength than PFF, as the tensile strength of ‘tape’ grade is 20 % lower than the tensile strength of PFF with identical yarn counts.
Po dokončnem razkritju je vložnik trdil, da ima izdelek kakovosti „trak“ izmerljivo nižjo natezno trdnost kot TPF, saj je natezna trdnost izdelka kakovosti „trak“ 20 % manjša kot pri TPF z isto oznako preje.
It acknowledged that PFF with a low yarn count can be torn by hand, but that it is not suitable for glue coating as the glue would soak through the fabric due to its lower density.
Priznava se, da se TPF z nižjo oznako preje lahko trgajo z roko, vendar v tem primeru verjetno niso več primerni za premaz z lepilom, ker bi se tkanina zaradi nizke gostote prepojila z lepilom.
As regards this claim, it is noted that, during the investigation no interested party could identify a clear and objective threshold as regards the tensile strength so that ‘tape’ grade can be distinguished from other types of PFF, and not only from PFF with the same yarn count.
V zvezi s to trditvijo je treba opozoriti, da med preiskavo nobena zainteresirana stranka ni mogla opredeliti jasnega in objektivnega praga natezne trdnosti, da bi se izdelek kakovosti „trak“ lahko razlikoval od drugih vrst TPF in ne samo od TPF z isto oznako preje.
Moreover, the investigation has found that ‘tape’ grade with a higher tensile strength can be produced depending on the specifications requested by the customers of this product.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da se odvisno od specifikacij, ki jih zahteva stranka, lahko proizvaja izdelek kakovosti „trak“ z višjo natezno trdnostjo.
Finally, no absolute thresholds for the tensile strength and for the density under which the glue would soak through the fabric were provided by the applicant.
Nazadnje pa vložnik ni predložil absolutnih vrednosti glede praga natezne trdnosti in gostote, pri kateri bi se tkanina prepojila z lepilom.
Therefore these claims had to be rejected.
Zato je bilo treba te trditve zavrniti.
As regards the nature of the raw material used in ‘tape’ grade, it is noted that the proportion of carbon in the yarn is very low: from 1 % to 3 % according to the ‘tape’ grade products examined during the investigation.
Glede narave surovine, uporabljene za izdelek kakovosti „trak“, se opozarja, da je delež ogljika v preji zelo nizek: od 1 % do 3 % glede na izdelke, pregledane med preiskavo.
The investigation further showed that it is not possible to measure the exact proportion of carbon once the yarn has been prepared.
Preiskava je tudi pokazala, da potem, ko je preja že pripravljena, ni več mogoče izmeriti natančnega deleža ogljika.
Therefore, it is very difficult to detect the carbon content in the fabric.
Zato je zelo težko ugotoviti vsebnost ogljika v tkanini.
This was also confirmed by the applicant in its comments submitted subsequent to the final disclosure.
To je potrdil tudi vložnik v pripombah, ki jih je predložil po dokončnem razkritju.
Concerning the colour of ‘tape’ grade, it is first specified that, contrary to allegations from the applicant that ‘tape’ grade can only be black, the finished ‘tape’ grade fabric can be either black or greyish depending on the proportion of carbon in the yarn.
Kar zadeva barvo izdelka kakovosti „trak“, je treba najprej navesti, da je v nasprotju s trditvami vložnika, da je lahko le črna, končni izdelek tkanine za izdelek kakovosti „trak“ lahko črn ali sivkast, odvisno od deleža ogljika v preji.
It is stressed that PFF dyed in a black or greyish colour after weaving look exactly like ‘tape’ grade and that these different types are not distinguishable to the naked eye.
Poudariti je treba, da ima TPF, obarvan s črno ali sivkasto barvo, po tkanju povsem enak videz kot izdelek kakovosti „trak“ in da teh različnih vrst ni mogoče razločiti s prostim očesom.
As regards the colour resistance of ‘tape’ grade, it is acknowledged that ‘tape’ grade fabric resists discolouring treatments, but it was also found during the investigation that PFF made of pre-coloured yarn can also be colour resistant.
V zvezi z barvno obstojnostjo izdelka kakovosti „trak“ se priznava, da je tkanina za izdelek kakovosti „trak“ obstojna pri postopkih razbarvanja, vendar je bilo med preiskavo obenem ugotovljeno, da so lahko barvno obstojni tudi TPF, izdelani iz predbarvane preje.
Furthermore, no measurable threshold could be identified in the course of the investigation to distinguish between fabrics considered as ‘discolouring’ and fabrics considered as ‘non-discolouring’, especially as regards PFF made of pre-dyed yarns.
Poleg tega med preiskavo ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti merljivega praga za razlikovanje med barvno obstojnimi in barvno neobstojnimi tkaninami, zlasti pri TPF iz predbarvane preje.
