The overall ring binder sector has suffered from this situation: Indian and Thai imports decreased in absolute volume as well as the Union industry’s sales.
Negativne posledice je občutil celotni sektor proizvajalcev obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo. Absolutni obseg uvoza iz Indije in Tajske se je zmanjšal, prav tako pa tudi prodaja industrije Unije.
It should however be noted that in relative terms, the Union industry suffered more than other players since its market share declined from 30,2 % to 25,2 % between 2008 and 2009.
Kljub temu je treba opozoriti, da je industrija Unije utrpela razmeroma več škode kot drugi akterji, saj se je njen tržni delež od leta 2008 do 2009 zmanjšal s 30,2 % na 25,2 %.
Given the fact that the ring binder industry has important fixed costs, a loss of volume of sales had a negative impact on the financial situation of the applicant.
Ker so fiksni stroški v industriji obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo pomembni, je zmanjšani obseg prodaje negativno vplival na finančno stanje vložnika.
However, the decrease in consumption should be seen in conjunction with the development of the dumped imports from Thailand.
Vendar pa je zmanjšanje potrošnje treba obravnavati skupaj z razvojem dampinškega uvoza iz Tajske.
Indeed, Thai imports had an important market share that represented nearly three times the quantity corresponding to the decrease in consumption.
Tajski uvoz je tako zajemal pomemben tržni delež; predstavljal je količino, ki je skoraj trikrat večja od zmanjšanja potrošnje.
From this point of view, it can be concluded that the decrease in consumption, which had been caused by the economic crisis, might have contributed to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Tako je mogoče ugotoviti, da je zmanjšanje potrošnje, ki ga je povzročila gospodarska kriza, lahko prispevalo k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
However, if there was an effect this effect had certainly been considerably reinforced by the imports subject to investigation.
Če je ta vpliv obstajal, se je zagotovo močno okrepil zaradi uvoza, ki se preiskuje.
RBM are also produced and exported from India and China.
Obročni mehanizmi za vezavo se proizvajajo in uvažajo tudi iz Indije in Kitajske.
These imports developed as follows:
Njihov uvoz se je spreminjal, kakor je prikazano v naslednji razpredelnici:
import volume
Obseg uvoza
average price
Povprečna cena
There is only one exporting producer of RBM in India, and its import volume decreased by almost 10 % during the injury investigation period.
V Indiji obstaja samo en proizvajalec izvoznik obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo in njegov obseg uvoza se je v obdobju preiskave škode zmanjšal za skoraj 10 %.
India nevertheless accounts for a significant portion of the Union market since it held on average 45 % of market shares during the injury investigation period.
Indija kljub temu pomeni precejšen delež trga Unije, saj je v obdobju preiskave škode v povprečju obvladovala 45-odstotni tržni delež.
Furthermore, Indian import prices increased overall by 13 %, at a level slightly above the Thai prices.
Poleg tega so se indijske uvozne cene skupno povečale za 13 %, kar je nekoliko več od tajskih cen.
Given its prevailing position on the Union market, and in view of its competitive import price, India is a significant competitor for the Union industry.
Glede na prevladujoči položaj na trgu Unije in konkurenčno uvozno ceno je Indija močna konkurentka industrije Unije.
However, when looking at the trend described above, i.e. decreasing volume at increasing prices, there is no indication that India would have contributed to the deterioration of the situation of the Union industry in the IP.
Vendar pa, če upoštevamo navedeno gibanje, tj. zmanjševanje obsega in rast cen, ne kaže, da bi Indija prispevala k poslabšanju položaja industrije Unije v obdobju preiskave.
Finally, it should be noted that a certain portion of the Indian imports, i.e. around one third, has been directly purchased and sold on the Union market by a distributor related to the Union industry.
Nazadnje je treba opozoriti, da je določen delež uvoza iz Indije, približno tretjino, na trgu Unije neposredno kupil in prodal distributer, povezan z industrijo Unije.
Chinese imports have been subject to anti-dumping duties ranging from 51,2 % to 78,8 % since 2004.
Za uvoz iz Kitajske so se od leta 2004 naprej uporabljale protidampinške dajatve v višini od 51,2 % do 78,8 %.
The volume of the Chinese imports increased by around 50 % between 2006 and IP, i.e. a market share gain of 2 points from 3,5 % to 5,5 %.
Obseg uvoza iz Kitajske se je med letom 2006 in obdobjem preiskave povečal za približno 50 %, kar pomeni povečanje tržnega deleža za 2 točki (s 3,5 % na 5,5 %).
Even if Chinese import prices followed a decreasing trend during the overall injury investigation period, their overall level however remained far above the Thai prices.
Čeprav so se kitajske uvozne cene zniževale v celotnem obdobju preiskave škode, je njihova splošna raven ostajala visoko nad ravnjo tajskih cen.
And this is even without taking into account the application of the anti-dumping duties.
Pri tem pa niti ni bila upoštevana uporaba protidampinških dajatev.
It is thus concluded that these imports did not contribute to the deterioration of the situation of the Union industry in the IP.
Tako je bilo ugotovljeno, da ta uvoz ni prispeval k poslabšanju položaja industrije Unije v obdobju preiskave.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from these third countries has not contributed, at least not beyond a marginal extent, to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Na podlagi navedenega se začasno sklene, da uvoz iz teh tretjih držav ni prispeval, vsaj ne občutneje, k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Export performance was also examined as one of the known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Poleg dampinškega uvoza je bil kot eden znanih dejavnikov, ki bi lahko hkrati škodoval industriji Unije, preučen tudi izvoz industrije Unije.
The exports of the Union industry represented on average around 5 % of its total sales of RBM during the injury investigation period and remained relatively stable.
Izvoz industrije Unije je v obdobju preiskave škode v povprečju predstavljal okoli 5 % skupne prodaje obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo in je ostajal razmeroma stabilen.
It is thus provisionally concluded that this could not have caused any injury to the Union industry.
Zaradi tega se začasno ugotovi, da to ni moglo povzročiti škode industriji Unije.
The above analysis demonstrated that imports from Thailand caused material injury to the Union industry during the IP, given their volume and the level of their prices.
Navedena analiza je pokazala, da je uvoz iz Tajske zaradi obsega in ravni cen v obdobju preiskave povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
Imports indeed increased in absolute terms, they were found to be dumped and their price level was found to be significantly below the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market for similar product types.
Uvoz se je v absolutnem smislu povečal, ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bil ta uvoz izveden po dampinških cenah in da so bile te precej nižje od cen, ki jih je industrija Unije zaračunavala na trgu Unije za podobne vrste izdelkov.
In this price sensitive market, where the number of suppliers is relatively limited and the market quite transparent, an undercutting rate of more than 30 % definitively had a significant impact on market prices.
Na tem cenovno občutljivem trgu, na katerem je število dobaviteljev razmeroma omejeno in ki je precej pregleden, je nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen za več kot 30 % vsekakor precej vplivalo na cene na trgu.
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry revealed that the contraction in demand could have played a role.
Preučitev drugih znanih dejavnikov, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, je pokazala, da bi tudi zmanjšanje povpraševanja lahko imelo vpliv.
However, despite the negative effect of the decreasing demand on the Union market, it is provisionally concluded that this factor was not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from Thailand and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Vendar pa se kljub negativnemu učinku zmanjševanja povpraševanja na trgu Unije začasno ugotovi, da ta dejavnik ni takšen, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz Tajske in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The contraction in demand should indeed be seen in conjunction with the effects of dumped imports which actually exacerbated the negative impact of the financial crisis.
Zmanjševanje povpraševanja je treba obravnavati ob upoštevanju učinkov dampinškega uvoza, zaradi katerih se je dejansko povečal negativni učinek finančne krize.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from Thailand have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi navedene analize, pri kateri so bili vsi znani dejavniki, ki vplivajo na položaj industrije Unije, ustrezno prepoznani in ločeni od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza, se začasno ugotovi, da je dampinški uvoz iz Tajske povzročil industriji Unije znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether, despite the provisional conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt provisional anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je bilo preučeno, ali so kljub začasni ugotovitvi škodljivega dampinga obstajali utemeljeni razlogi, zaradi katerih bi bilo mogoče ugotoviti, da sprejetje začasnih protidampinških ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
For this purpose, and in accordance with Article 21(1) of the basic Regulation, the likely impact of possible measures on all parties involved in this proceeding and also the likely consequences of not taking measures were considered on the basis of all evidence submitted.
Zato in v skladu s členom 21(1) osnovne uredbe se je na podlagi vseh predloženih dokazov obravnaval verjeten vpliv morebitnih ukrepov na vse strani, vključene v ta postopek, in verjetne posledice nesprejetja ukrepov.
In order to assess the likely impact of the measures, all interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known pursuant to Article 21(2) of the basic Regulation.
Da bi ocenili verjeten vpliv ukrepov, so imele vse zainteresirane strani možnost, da izrazijo svoja stališča v skladu s členom 21(2) osnovne uredbe.
The applicant Union producer and four unrelated importers replied to the questionnaire.
Na vprašalnik so odgovorili vložnik, ki je proizvajalec Unije, in štirje nepovezani uvozniki.
The other Union producer, which is also an importer, provided some information and one user submitted a questionnaire reply.
Drugi proizvajalec Unije, ki je tudi uvoznik, je predložil nekaj informacij, en uporabnik pa je odgovoril na vprašalnik.
Description of the Union market
Opis trga Unije
In order to have a better understanding of all the various interests at stake, it is considered important to first describe the main characteristics of the market.
Da bi bolje razumeli vse različne zadevne interese, je treba najprej opisati glavne značilnosti trga.
Anti-dumping measures were imposed for the first time against imports of certain ring binder mechanisms originating in China in 1997 [6].
Protidampinški ukrepi so bili prvič uvedeni leta 1997 na uvoz nekaterih obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo s poreklom iz Kitajske [6].
The original duty rate was increased 3 years later following an interim review.
Prvotna stopnja dajatve je bila povečana tri leta pozneje po vmesnem pregledu.
Those measures have indeed been recently extended for a second time following an expiry review establishing that dumped and injurious imports would otherwise resume [7].
Navedeni ukrepi so bili pred nedavnim drugič podaljšani po pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa, pri katerem je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi se v nasprotnem primeru dampinški in škodljiv uvoz nadaljeval [7].
Several investigations established that measures against China were circumvented, and they were thus extended to Vietnam and Lao People's Democratic Republic, respectively in 2004 and 2006, and the scope of the measures also had to be extended to certain slightly modified RBM [8].
V več preiskavah je bilo ugotovljeno izogibanje ukrepom proti Kitajski, zato so se ukrepi leta 2004 razširili na Vietnam, leta 2006 pa še na Laoško ljudsko demokratično republiko, treba pa je bilo tudi razširiti obseg ukrepov, da vključujejo rahlo spremenjene obročne mehanizme za vezavo [8].
It should be noted that RBM are imported into the Union market either by distributors, agents or directly by users, i.e. the companies producing binders.
Opozoriti je treba, da obročne mehanizme za vezavo na trg uvažajo distributerji, zastopniki ali neposredno uporabniki, tj. družbe, ki izdelujejo mape.
Finally, it should be recalled that the number of producers of RBM supplying the Union market is relatively limited.
Končno je treba opozoriti, da je število proizvajalcev obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo, ki oskrbujejo trg Unije, razmeroma omejeno.
Indeed, in addition to the two producers in the EU, there exist only one known producer in Thailand, one in India, and some in China, the latter being subject to anti-dumping measures as explained above.
Poleg dveh proizvajalcev iz EU tako obstajajo samo še en znan proizvajalec iz Tajske, eden iz Indije in nekaj proizvajalcev iz Kitajske, pri čemer se za slednje uporabljajo protidampinški ukrepi, kot je bilo navedeno.
Both the exporting producer in Thailand and in India are owned by Hong Kong based companies, respectively Wah Hing Stationary, a trader of RBM having a production site in China, and World Wide Stationary, which has a supply agreement with Bensons, a distributor owned by the Union industry.
Proizvajalca izvoznika iz Tajske in Indije sta v lasti družb s sedežem v Hongkongu; prvi je v lasti družbe Wah Hing Stationary, trgovca z obročnimi mehanizmi za vezavo s proizvodnim obratom na Kitajskem, drugi pa v lasti družbe World Wide Stationary, ki ima sklenjeno pogodbo o dobavi z družbo Bensons, distributerjem v lasti industrije Unije.
It is recalled that some years ago the Union industry already faced serious economic difficulties, amongst other things because of unfair traded imports, and had to restructure in order to ensure its continued existence as explained below.
Opozoriti je treba, da se je industrija Unije pred nekaj leti že spoprijemala z resnimi gospodarskimi težavami, med drugim zaradi nelojalnega uvoza, in se je morala prestrukturirati, da si je zagotovila nadaljnji obstoj, kakor je razloženo v nadaljevanju.
Since then the activity has been restructured in order to better compete worldwide, but especially on the core market of the applicant, i.e. the EU market.
Od takrat je bila dejavnost prestrukturirana, da bi se izboljšala konkurenčnost na svetovni ravni, vendar zlasti na osrednjem trgu vložnika, tj. trgu EU.
This restructuring included the acquisition of Bensons, a well-established trader of RBM with companies located in the Netherlands, Singapore, the United Kingdom and the USA.
To prestrukturiranje je vključevalo prevzem družbe Bensons, dobro uveljavljenega trgovca z obročnimi mehanizmi za vezavo, ki je imel hčerinske družbe s sedeži na Nizozemskem, v Singapurju, Združenem kraljestvu in Združenih državah Amerike.
The efforts undertaken by the industry to improve its situation have however been undermined given that the positive effects of the measures against unfair imports have been diluted by absorption and circumvention practices, as explained above.
Vendar pa je bilo prizadevanje industrije za izboljšanje lastnega položaja ovirano, ker so se pozitivni učinki ukrepov proti nelojalnemu uvozu zmanjšali zaradi navedenih praks absorpcije in izogibanja.
As a consequence, despite significant improvement in particular until the year 2008, the situation of the industry remained fragile, as concluded in the investigation leading to the prolongation of the anti-dumping measures against China.
Zaradi tega je kljub znatnemu izboljšanju, še posebej do leta 2008, položaj industrije ostajal krhek, kakor je bilo ugotovljeno v preiskavi, na podlagi katere so bili podaljšani protidampinški ukrep proti Kitajski.
The current investigation concluded that in the recent years the Union industry is again suffering material injury and that this was caused by dumped imports originating in Thailand.
V sedanji preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da industrija Unije v zadnjih letih spet trpi znatno škodo in da je to posledica dampinškega uvoza iz Tajske.
Through its restructuring efforts the Union industry proved it is a viable industry which is still in a position to supply an important share of the EU market.
S prizadevanji za prestrukturiranje je industrija Unije dokazala, da je uspešna in še vedno lahko zagotovi pomemben delež dobave na trgu Unije.
It however needs additional and efficient protection against dumped imports from all sources in order to reach a solid and healthy situation.
Vendar pa potrebuje dodatno in učinkovito zaščito pred dampinškim uvozom iz vseh virov, da bi si lahko zagotovila trdno in zdravo stanje.
Almost 60 jobs were lost between 2008 and the IP, and the Union industry made important losses in the last years.
Med letom 2008 in obdobjem preiskave je bilo izgubljenih skoraj 60 delovnih mest in industrija Unije je v zadnjih letih doživela pomembne izgube.
Without measures against Thai unfair traded imports it cannot be excluded that the applicant will be forced to cease its activity and more than 160 further jobs are at risk.
Brez ukrepov proti tajskemu nelojalnemu uvozu ni mogoče izključiti, da ne bo vlagatelj prisiljen prekiniti dejavnosti, zaradi česar je ogroženih dodatnih 160 delovnih mest.
Given the fact that imports from Thailand were found to cause material injury to the Union industry, that the Union industry has made all necessary restructuring efforts and is able to compete on a market where imports are fairly traded, it is concluded that it would be in the interest of the Union industry to impose provisional measures against imports of RBM from Thailand.
Ker je bilo ugotovljeno, da uvoz iz Tajske povzroča znatno škodo industriji Unije, da je industrija Unije vložila ves potrebni trud v prestrukturiranje in lahko konkurira na trgu, na katerem se pošteno trguje z uvozom, se sklene, da bi bilo v interesu industrije Unije, da se uvedejo začasni ukrepi na uvoz obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo iz Tajske.
Following the initiation of the investigation five importers, including the second Union producer, made themselves known and provided either a questionnaire reply or other information.
Po začetku preiskave se je javilo pet uvoznikov, vključno z drugim proizvajalcem Unije, in predložilo izpolnjene vprašalnike ali druge informacije.
Those companies accounted for 75 % of the imports of RBM from Thailand during the investigation period.
Te družbe so v obdobju preiskave predstavljale 75 % uvoza obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo iz Tajske.
One of the above importers, representing around 20 % of the overall Thai imports, decided to end all its activities related to RBM after the investigation period.
Eden od navedenih uvoznikov, ki predstavlja okoli 20 % skupnega uvoza iz Tajske, se je odločil, da bo po obdobju preiskave prenehal opravljati dejavnost v zvezi z obročnimi mehanizmi za vezavo.
For a second importer, the sales volume of RBM has been divided by three during the overall injury investigation period and only represented a minor portion of its overall turnover during the IP (around 1 %).
Pri drugem uvozniku je prodaja obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo med celotnim obdobjem preiskave škode padla na tretjino in je predstavljala samo majhen del njegovega skupnega prometa v obdobju preiskave (približno 1 %).
Moreover the latter ceased purchases from Thailand in 2008 and switched to an EU distributor.
Poleg tega je ta družba leta 2008 prenehala uvažati iz Tajske in je začela naročati pri distributerju EU.
It is thus concluded that any imposition of measures would not affect the situation of those two importers.
Zaradi tega se sklene, da uvedba ukrepov ne bi vplivala na položaj teh dveh uvoznikov.
Another importer, representing less than 10 % of the total Thai imports, claimed that if measures were imposed against Thailand, it would have no alternative sources of supply and would be forced to end their RBM activity.
Še en uvoznik, ki uvozi manj kot 10 % skupnega tajskega uvoza, je trdil, da bo ob morebitni uvedbi ukrepov proti Tajski ostal brez alternativnih virov dobave in bo prisiljen opustiti dejavnost, povezano z obročnimi mehanizmi za vezavo.
In this respect, it should firstly be recalled that the objective of anti-dumping measures is however not to exclude any imports on the Union market, but rather to allow imports to continue, albeit at non-dumped prices.
V zvezi s tem je treba najprej opozoriti, da cilj protidampinških ukrepov ni izključiti uvoza na trg Unije, ampak omogočiti, da se uvoz nadaljuje, vendar po nedampinških cenah.
This importer could thus continue to import RBM from Thailand, although subject to the payment of anti-dumping duties, and could partially or totally pass-on this cost increase to its customers.
Ta uvoznik bi tako lahko še naprej uvažal obročne mehanizme za vezavo iz Tajske, vendar bi pri tem moral plačati protidampinške dajatve, te povečane stroške pa bi lahko delno ali v celoti prenesel na svoje stranke.
It is however recognised that this could not so easily be achieved in view of the price sensitivity of the product and the competition from imports from other countries such as India.
Treba pa je priznati, da tega ne bi bilo preprosto doseči zaradi cenovne občutljivosti izdelka in konkurence zaradi uvoza iz drugih držav, kot je na primer Indija.
Moreover, given the structure of the Union market and the limited number of producers worldwide, it is indeed likely that this importer may face difficulties to switch to other sources of supply.
Poleg tega je glede na strukturo trga Unije in omejeno število proizvajalcev v svetu verjetno, da se bo ta uvoznik srečeval s težavami pri iskanju drugih dobaviteljev.
It should however be noted that the portion of the RBM sales of the company as compared to its total turnover decreased during the injury investigation period, from around 40 % to 25 %, and, more importantly, the investigation revealed that the RBM activity has generated significant losses in the last years.
Kljub temu pa je treba opozoriti, da se je delež prodaje obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo glede na celotni promet družbe v obdobju preiskave zmanjšal s približno 40 % na 25 % in, kar je še pomembnejše, preiskava je pokazala, da je dejavnost, povezana z obročnimi mehanizmi za vezavo, v zadnjih letih ustvarjala precejšnje izgube.
In other words, there are doubts already today concerning the viability of the RBM business of this importer.
Z drugimi besedami, že sedaj se porajajo dvomi glede sposobnosti preživetja dejavnosti obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo pri tem uvozniku.
The fourth importer also claimed that in case of imposition of measures it would have to stop trading RBM because of the lack of alternative sources of supply.
Tudi četrti uvoznik je trdil, da bi ob morebitni uvedbi ukrepov moral nehati trgovati z obročnimi mehanizmi za vezavo zaradi pomanjkanja alternativnih virov dobave.
