Some interested parties claimed that any injury suffered by the Community industry was linked to the rise of sugar price, used as the main raw material for the production of the like product, due to the reform of sugar regime in the EU and the subsequent abolition of the production refund granted to the chemical industry.
Nekaj zainteresiranih strank je navedlo, da je škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, povezana z zvišanjem cene sladkorja, ki se uporablja kot surovina pri proizvodnji podobnega izdelka, in sicer zaradi reforme režima za sladkor v EU in posledične odprave proizvodnega nadomestila, dodeljenega kemični industriji.
In this respect it is noted that one Community producer uses as main raw material mainly molasses, which were never subject to production refunds although formally falling under the common agricultural policy for sugar.
V zvezi s tem se navede, da eden od proizvajalcev Skupnosti kot surovino uporablja predvsem melaso, ki pa nikoli ni bila predmet proizvodnega nadomestila, četudi formalno spada v skupno kmetijsko politiko za sladkor.
The investigation showed that in respect of their usage of sugar as raw material, the Community industry was indeed entitled to a production refund under the Common market organisation for sugar to help maintain its competitiveness on the world market.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je bila industrija Skupnosti v zvezi z uporabo sladkorja kot surovine res upravičena do proizvodnega nadomestila po skupni tržni ureditvi Skupnosti za sladkor, in sicer z namenom ohraniti konkurenčnost na svetovnem trgu.
The production refunds corresponded to the difference between EU sugar intervention price after deducting sugar world market price plus the standard amount corresponding to the forwarding costs for exporting Community sugar.
Proizvodna nadomestila so ustrezala razliki med intervencijsko ceno sladkorja EU po odbitju cene sladkorja na svetovnem trgu in standardnem znesku, ki je ustrezal stroškom odpošiljanja za izvoz sladkorja Skupnosti.
Thereby the Community industry obtained its supplies of sugar at world market prices.
Tako je industrija Skupnosti zaloge sladkorja pridobivala po cenah na svetovnem trgu.
Since July 2006 this system has been reformed by downscaling the protection for the sugar sector.
Od julija 2006 je bil ta sistem reformiran z zmanjšanjem zaščite za sektor sladkorja.
According to the new system, as stipulated in Council Regulation (EC) No 318/2006 of 20 February 2006 on the common organisation of the markets in the sugar sector [3], firstly the chemical industry is allowed to freely negotiate quantities and prices of industrial sugar with sugar producers and beet farmers, i.e. the reference price methodology and the quotas have been dropped in this sector.
Kot je določeno z Uredbo Sveta (ES) št. 318/2006 z dne 20. februarja 2006 o skupni ureditvi trgov v sektorju sladkorja [3], se po novem sistemu kemični industriji dovolijo prosta pogajanja o količinah in cenah industrijskega sladkorja s proizvajalci sladkorja in pridelovalci sladkorne pese, tj. v tem sektorju so bili opuščeni metodologija referenčne cene in kvote.
Secondly, the Community industry can also buy certain quantities of industrial sugar on the world market free of duty.
Drugič, industrija Skupnosti lahko kupi določene količine industrijskega sladkorja na svetovnem trgu brez dajatev.
Finally, should there be no sugar available at a price corresponding to the world price of sugar, the chemical industry would be entitled to request the grant of a production refund.
Če ne bi bilo na voljo sladkorja po ceni, ki bi ustrezala svetovni ceni sladkorja, bi kemična industrija lahko zahtevala dodelitev proizvodnega nadomestila.
The provision for those production refunds, although still existing, has since July 2006 not been used.
Določba za ta proizvodna nadomestila, čeprav še obstaja, že od julija 2006 ni bila uporabljena.
This can be considered as a strong indication that there were sufficient quantities of sugar available at world market prices.
To lahko ocenjujemo kot močan pokazatelj dejstva, da so bile na voljo zadostne količine sladkorja po cenah na svetovnem trgu.
Moreover, the analysis showed that depending on the raw material split of the Community industry used to manufacture the like product, sugar made up from 6 to 21 % (range is given for confidentiality reasons) of its cost of manufacturing from January until June 2006 and this did not increase during the IP further than the increase of the world market prices for sugar.
Poleg tega je analiza pokazala, da je, glede na delež surovine industrije Skupnosti, ki se uporablja za proizvodnjo podobnega izdelka, sladkor predstavljal od 6 do 21 % (razpon je naveden zaradi zaupnosti) stroškov proizvodnje od januarja do junija 2006, to stanje pa se je med OP spreminjalo v skladu z razvojem cen sladkorja na svetovnem trgu.
Thus, the investigation has shown that the reform of the sugar market had no considerable impact on the cost situation of the Community industry.
Preiskava je pokazala, da reforma trga sladkorja ni pomembno vplivala na razmere v zvezi s stroški industrije Skupnosti.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the sugar market reform did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se začasno sklene, da reforma trga sladkorja ni prispevala k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Rising energy prices
Višanje cen energije
Some interested parties claimed that any injury suffered by the Community industry was linked to the rise in costs of energy.
Nekaj zainteresiranih strank je navedlo, da je bila škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti, povezana z višanjem stroškov energije.
In this respect it is noted that the production of citric acid is energy intensive where the total weight of energy cost in the production amounts to 16 % (see recital (69) above).
V zvezi s tem se navede, da je proizvodnja citronske kisline energetsko intenzivna, če skupni znesek stroška energije v proizvodnji znaša 16 % (glej uvodno izjavo 69).
The cost of energy has indeed risen relatively moderately throughout the period considered and this was reflected in the cost of production.
Strošek energije je v obravnavanem obdobju dejansko nekoliko zrasel, to pa se je odražalo v proizvodnih stroških.
In any event, it is not the increase in the cost of energy as such that had a negative impact on the financial situation of the Community industry, but the inability to pass on those increased energy costs to the necessary extent to their customers due to the price depression caused by the significant volumes of dumped imports.
V vsakem primeru ni povišanje stroška energije kot takšno negativno vplivalo na finančne razmere industrije Skupnosti, temveč nezmožnost prenosa teh povišanih stroškov energije na stranke v potrebnem obsegu, in sicer zaradi znižanja cen, ki je bilo posledica velikega obsega dampinškega uvoza.
Furthermore, it was alleged that the risen energy prices would also indirectly affect the production of citric acid as the European citric acid industry would compete with the biofuel industry for carbohydrates which is one of the compounds used for the production of citric acid.
Domnevalo se je tudi, da bi povišane cene energije posredno vplivale tudi na proizvodnjo citronske kisline, saj bi evropska industrija citronske kisline z industrijo biogoriv konkurirala za ogljikove hidrate, ki so ena izmed sestavin pri proizvodnji citronske kisline.
As the demand for energy is increasing and therefore the demand for biofuels as well, biofuel producers would be in a position to pay more for those carbohydrates (i.e. sugar and its residual molasses, glucose).
Ker se potreba po energiji povečuje in s tem tudi potreba po biogorivih, bi lahko proizvajalci biogoriv za ogljikove hidrate plačali več (tj. za sladkor in ostanke melase, glukozo).
This would drive the cost for those carbohydrates up for the Community industry.
To pa bi zvišalo stroške industrije Skupnosti za ogljikove hidrate.
However, as the analysis of the cost of manufacturing of the Community industry has shown, see recitals (69) and (92) above, there has been no increase in the cost of manufacturing for sugar or molasses which was not linked to the general increase of sugar on the world market.
Vendar pa, kot je pokazala analiza stroška proizvodnje industrije Skupnosti (glej uvodni izjavi 69 in 92), ni prišlo do zvišanja stroška proizvodnje za sladkor ali melaso, kar ni bilo povezano s splošnim zvišanjem cen sladkorja na svetovnem trgu.
Therefore, no indirect impact of the biofuel industry to the producers of citric acid could be established.
Zato ni mogoče ugotoviti posrednega vpliva industrije biogoriv na proizvajalce citronske kisline.
The argument is therefore dismissed.
Ta trditev se torej zavrne.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the consequences of the rise in energy costs did not contribute to the material injury suffered from the Community industry.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se začasno sklene, da posledice zvišanja stroškov energije niso prispevale k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Price cartel of Community industry
Cenovni kartel industrije Skupnosti
Some interested parties claimed that the loss of market share for the European producers was self-inflicted because of the citric acid cartel (1991-1995) in which both the complainant and the other European producer, under its former ownership, participated.
Nekaj zainteresiranih strank je navedlo, da so evropski proizvajalci sami krivi za izgubo tržnega deleža, in sicer zaradi omejevalnega sporazuma na trgu citronske kisline (1991–1995), pri katerem sta sodelovala pritožnik in drug evropski proizvajalec, tedaj pod drugim lastnikom.
They claim that due to the anti-competitive practices, the sales price was artificially high and allowed the Chinese producers to enter the market.
Te zainteresirane stranke trdijo, da je bila prodajna cena zaradi protikonkurenčnih praks umetno visoka, kar je kitajskim proizvajalcem omogočilo vstop na trg.
An analysis of statistics shows that the big boost in Chinese citric acid imports occurred between 1998 and 1999 (64 %) and even more between 2002 and 2004 (137 %), several years after the cartel had finished.
Analiza statističnih podatkov kaže, da je do velikega porasta kitajskega uvoza citronske kisline prišlo med letoma 1998 in 1999 (64 %), še večji porast (137 %) pa se je zgodil med letoma 2002 in 2004, več let po zaključku omejevalnega sporazuma.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the consequences of the anti-competitive practices in which the Community industry has taken part did not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Community industry.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se začasno sklene, da posledice protikunkurenčnih praks, pri katerih je sodelovala industrija Skupnosti, niso prispevale k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Skupnosti.
Currency fluctuations
Tečajna nihanja
Some interested parties have claimed that the devaluation of the USD against the euro has favoured imports of citric acid into the European Community.
Nekatere zainteresirane stranke so trdile, da je padec vrednosti ameriškega dolarja v primerjavi z eurom olajšal uvoz citronske kisline v Evropsko skupnost.
Between 2004 and the end of the IP, the USD lost 6,01 % of its value against the euro.
Med 2004 in koncem OP je dolar v primerjavi z eurom izgubil 6,01 % vrednosti.
Neither the price development of the Community industry nor the import volumes from the country concerned or from other third countries reflect the rather low devaluation of the USD against the euro.
Tega nizkega padca vrednosti dolarja v primerjavi z eurom ne odražata niti razvoj cene industrije Skupnosti niti obseg uvoza iz zadevne države ali drugih tretjih držav.
Therefore the devaluation of the USD against the euro has to be considered as negligible and cannot be considered as a major cause of the loss of the market share of the Community industry.
Zato je treba padec vrednosti ameriškega dolarja v primerjavi z eurom obravnavati kot zanemarljivega in ga ni mogoče označiti kot pomemben razlog za izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti.
Moreover, it is recalled that the investigation has to examine whether the dumped imports (in terms of prices and volumes) have caused material injury to the Community industry or whether such material injury was due to other factors.
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da je treba v preiskavi proučiti, ali je dampinški uvoz (glede cen in obsega) industriji Skupnosti povzročil znatno škodo oziroma ali so jo povzročili drugi dejavniki.
In this respect, with regard to prices, Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation states that it is necessary to show that the price level of the dumped imports causes injury.
V zvezi s tem člen 3(6) osnovne uredbe glede cen navaja, da je treba dokazati, da je raven cene dampinškega uvoza povzročila škodo.
It therefore merely refers to a difference between price levels, and there is thus no requirement to analyse the factors affecting the level of those prices.
Nanaša se torej le na razliko med ravnmi cene, ne vsebuje pa zahteve za analizo dejavnikov, ki vplivajo na raven teh cen.
However, even if the USD/EUR currency fluctuation between 2004 and the IP was taken into account and even assuming that all export sales to the Community were made in USD, there would still be more than 10 % undercutting.
Vendar pa bi bilo, kljub upoštevanju tečajnega nihanja med ameriškim dolarjem in eurom med letom 2004 in OP in tudi ob domnevi, da je bil ves izvoz v Skupnost plačan v ameriški valuti, nelojalno nižanje cen še vedno več kot 10-odstotno.
Consequently, it was provisionally concluded that the appreciation of the euro in respect of the USD was not such as to break the causal link between the injury established and the imports concerned to the Community industry and the claim was, therefore, rejected.
Posledično je bilo začasno sklenjeno, da povečana vrednost eura v primerjavi z ameriškim dolarjem ni bila tolikšna, da bi pretrgala vzročno zvezo med ugotovljeno škodo in zadevnim uvozom v Skupnost. Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
In conclusion, the above analysis has demonstrated that there was a substantial increase in volume and market share of the imports originating in the country concerned during the period considered, together with a considerable decrease in their sales prices and a high level of price undercutting during the IP.
Zgoraj opisana analiza je pokazala, da obstaja stvarno povečanje obsega in tržnega deleža uvoza iz zadevne države zlasti med obravnavanim obdobjem, skupaj s hudim padcem prodajne cene uvoza in visoko ravnjo nelojalnega nižanja cen med OP.
This increase in market share of the low-priced imports coincided with a decline in the Community industry's market share and a price depression with a drop in profitability.
Večji tržni delež poceni uvoza je sovpadel s padcem tržnega deleža industrije Skupnosti ter padcem cen in manjšo dobičkonosnostjo.
On the other hand, the examination of the other factors which could have injured the Community industry revealed that none of them could have had a significant negative impact.
Na drugi strani pa je preverjanje drugih dejavnikov, ki bi industriji Skupnosti lahko povzročili škodo, pokazalo, da noben dejavnik ne bi mogel imeti pomembnega negativnega vpliva.
Based on the above analysis which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Community industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports originating in the country concerned have caused material injury to the Community industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi navedene analize, ki je pravilno označila in ločila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov, ki so vplivali na položaj industrije Skupnosti, od škodljivega učinka dampinškega uvoza, se začasno sklene, da je dampinški uvoz iz LRK povzročil znatno škodo industriji Skupnosti v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission examined whether, despite the conclusions on dumping, injury and causation, compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Community interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
Komisija je proučila, ali kljub sklepom o dampingu, škodi in vzroku škode obstajajo utemeljeni razlogi za sklep, da uvedba ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Skupnosti.
For this purpose, and pursuant to Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission considered the likely impact of measures for all parties concerned.
V ta namen in v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe, je Komisija proučila morebitni vpliv ukrepov za vse zadevne stranke.
As indicated in recital (11) above, the Community industry is composed of two companies, with production facilities in Austria and Belgium, which employs in the range of 500 to 600 persons directly involved in the production, sales and administration of the like product.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 11, je industrija Skupnosti sestavljena iz dveh družb, ki imata proizvodne zmogljivosti v Avstriji in Belgiji in zaposlujeta med 500 in 600 oseb, ki so neposredno udeležene v proizvodnji, prodaji in upravljanju podobnega izdelka.
If measures are imposed, it is expected that the price depression on the Community market will come to an end and that sales prices of the Community industry will start to recover, as a consequence of which the financial situation of the Community industry should improve.
Če se uvedejo ukrepi, se pričakuje, da se bo padanje cen na trgu Skupnosti ustavilo in da se bo prodajna cena industrije Skupnosti zvišala, posledično pa se bodo izboljšale finančne razmere industrije Skupnosti.
On the other hand, should no anti-dumping measures be imposed, it is likely that the negative trend in the development of the Community industry's financial indicators, and notably its profitability, will continue.
Če pa se protidampinški ukrepi ne uvedejo, pa obstaja verjetnost, da se bo negativni trend v razvoju finančnih kazalcev industrije Skupnosti in predvsem njeni dobičkonosnosti nadaljeval.
The Community industry will then continue to lose market share as it is not able to follow the artificially low market prices set by imports from the PRC.
Industrija Skupnosti bo še naprej izgubljala tržni delež, saj ni sposobna slediti umetno nizkim tržnim cenam, ki jih določa uvoz iz LRK.
Therefore, cuts in production and investments, closure of certain production capacities and job reduction in the Community will be a likely result.
Rezultat tega bodo verjetno zmanjšana proizvodnja in naložbe, zaprtje določenih proizvodnih zmogljivosti in zmanjšanje števila delovnih mest v Skupnosti.
In this respect, it is worth mentioning that since 2004 three producers of citric acid in the Community have closed down.
V zvezi s tem je treba omeniti, da so od leta 2003 v Skupnosti prenehali poslovati trije proizvajalci citronske kisline.
In conclusion, the imposition of anti-dumping measures would allow the Community industry to recover from the effects of injurious dumping found.
Če povzamemo, uvedba protidampinških ukrepov bi industriji Skupnosti omogočila, da si ta opomore od učinkov ugotovljenega škodljivega dampinga.
As described in recital (10) above, four sampled importers sent questionnaire replies and they accounted for around 36 % of the Community imports of the product concerned during the IP.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 10, so štirje vzorčeni uvozniki poslali izpolnjene vprašalnike, predstavljali pa so okoli 36 % uvoza zadevnega izdelka v Skupnost med OP.
Therefore, its submitted questionnaire was disregarded.
Zato poslan vprašalnik ni bil upoštevan.
The three remaining questionnaire replies were verified on the spot.
Ostali trije vprašalniki so bili preverjeni na mestu.
The overall weight represented by citric acid in the total turnover of these importers' activities was very small.
Skupni delež citronske kisline v skupnem prometu teh uvoznikov je bil zelo majhen.
On an average basis, around 1 % of these importers' activities could be linked to imports of citric acid from the PRC, which is nonetheless considered to be important to complete their product range.
Povprečno bi lahko okoli 1 % dejavnosti teh uvoznikov povezali z uvozom citronske kisline iz LRK, kar pa se kljub temu šteje za pomembno za dopolnitev njihove proizvodne linije.
Certain importers purchase the product under investigation not only from the PRC but also from other sources in and outside the Community, including from the Community industry.
Nekateri uvozniki preiskovani izdelek kupujejo ne le v LRK, temveč tudi pri drugih virih v Skupnosti in zunaj nje, vključno od industrije Skupnosti.
The average profit margin attained by the sampled importers, on their trading of citric acid, is around 4,4 %.
Povprečna stopnja dobička vzorčenih uvoznikov pri trgovanju s citronsko kislino je okoli 4,4 %.
Importers in the Community are not in favour of the imposition of measures.
Uvozniki v Skupnosti niso naklonjeni uvedbi ukrepov.
The cooperating importers argued that the imposition of measures would seriously harm their operations, as they would not be able to pass on the price increase to users.
Sodelujoči uvozniki so navedli, da bi uvedba ukrepov resno škodila njihovemu poslovanju, saj zvišanja cen ne bi mogli prenesti na uporabnike.
In this respect, the imposition of an anti-dumping duty on imports from the PRC, will most likely lead to an upwards correction of market prices.
V zvezi s tem bo uvedba protidampinške dajatve na uvoz iz LRK zelo verjetno povzročila dvig tržnih cen.
The effect of the duties would in all likelihood be diluted in the importers overall result as citric acid only represents a fraction of their total turnover.
Po vsej verjetnosti učinek dajatev pri skupnem rezultatu pri uvoznikih ne bi bil velik, saj citronska kislina predstavlja le delček njihovega skupnega prometa.
The significant undercutting still found after adjustment of the cif Community border prices for post-importation costs also suggests that there is room for a price increase.
Znatno nelojalno nižanje cen, ki je po prilagoditve cene CIF meja Skupnosti za stroške, nastale po uvozu, še vedno prisotno, nakazuje, da je zvišanje cene še mogoče.
It can thus not be excluded that importers can pass on a part of the duties to their customers in the food and beverages industry.
Zato ni mogoče izključiti, da lahko uvozniki del dajatev prenesejo na svoje stranke v industriji hrane in pijač.
In any event, in view of the limited weight of sales of this product in the importers' activities, and the profit margin currently attained both overall and in view of their sales of citric acid only, it is expected that the duty as provisionally established will not affect the financial situation of these economic operators to a significant extent.
Ob upoštevanju omejenega deleža prodaje tega izdelka v dejavnostih uvoznikov in ob upoštevanju stopnje dobička, ki izhaja iz vse prodaje in iz prodaje citronske kisline, se pričakuje, da začasno določena dajatev ne bo znatno vplivala na finančne razmere teh gospodarskih subjektov.
Further, it was claimed that if duties are imposed, this could lead to a duopolistic market situation on the Community market, excluding competition from third countries.
Nadalje je bilo navedeno, da bi lahko uvedba dajatev privedla do dvopolnih razmer na trgu Skupnosti, kar bi izključilo konkurenco iz tretjih držav.
Some interested parties raised concerns about the ability of European producers to meet the increasing European demand.
Nekaj zainteresiranih strank je izrazilo zaskrbljenost glede zmožnosti evropskih proizvajalcev v zvezi z izpolnjevanjem povpraševanja v Evropi.
The investigation has shown that, even if operating at full capacity, the Community industry would only have been able to meet 75 % of the European demand during the IP.
Preiskava je pokazala, da bi lahko industrija Skupnosti celo ob angažiranju vseh zmogljivosti med OP zadostila le 75 % povpraševanja v Evropi.
