It was alleged by certain interested parties that the deterioration of the profitability of the Union industry was caused by the fall in export sales or the fall in production for captive use rather than by the fall of their sales within the Union.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da naj bi dobičkonosnost industrije Unije domnevno poslabšal upad izvoza ali upad proizvodnje za lastno uporabo, ne pa upad njihove prodaje v Uniji.
In this respect it should firstly be recalled that, with the exception of sales volumes, all injury indicators, including the profitability, have been assessed on the basis of the sales on the Union market to unrelated parties.
Pri tem gre najprej spomniti, da so bili z izjemo obsega prodaje vsi kazalci škode, vključno z dobičkonosnostjo, ocenjeni na podlagi prodaje na trgu Unije nepovezanim strankam.
In other words, both export sales and sales for captive use have been excluded from that calculation.
Drugače povedano, izvoz in prodaja za lastno uporabo sta izločena iz izračuna.
Secondly, it is true that the export sales volumes have decreased at a slightly faster pace than Union sales, but this is not the case for the production for captive use which represented, throughout the period considered, between 22,4 % and 24,4 % of the total Union sales.
Nadalje je res, da se je obseg izvoza zmanjšal za spoznanje hitreje kot prodaja Unije, ampak to se ni zgodilo pri proizvodnji za lastno uporabo, ki je v vsem obravnavanem obdobju predstavljala med 22,4 % in 24,4 % skupne prodaje Unije.
Moreover, in view of the weight of the export sales as compared to the EU sales of the Union industry (fluctuating between 10 % and 14 % throughout the period considered), these sales cannot be considered so significant as to put into question the causal link between dumped imports and the impact on the Union industry.
Poleg tega pa zaradi pomena izvoza v primerjavi s prodajo industrije Unije v EU (nihanja med 10 % in 14 % skozi vse obravnavano obdobje) te prodaje ni mogoče šteti za tako pomembno, da bi postavila pod vprašaj vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in vplivom na industrijo Unije.
This argument is therefore dismissed.
Ta argument se torej zavrne.
Increased capacity of the Union industry and increased cost of production
Povečana zmogljivost industrije Unije in povišani stroški proizvodnje
It was argued by an interested party that the decline of the state of the Union industry was due to an erroneous decision to increase capacities.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je upad industrije Unije povzročila napačna odločitev za povečanje zmogljivosti.
In this respect, it should first be mentioned that the glass fibres market has been for several years a growing market and the decision to increase capacity at certain plants cannot be considered as unreasonable business planning in a situation of growing consumption.
Pri tem gre najprej omeniti, da je bil trg steklenih vlaken več let rastoč trg in da odločitve za povečanje zmogljivosti v nekaterih obratih ni mogoče šteti za nerazumno poslovno načrtovanje ob čedalje večji potrošnji.
Moreover, it is noted that, on the whole, over the period considered, the capacity of the Union industry actually decreased (see recital (68) above).
Poleg tega gre omeniti, da se je v celoti gledano v obravnavanem obdobju zmogljivost industrije Unije pravzaprav zmanjšala (glej uvodno izjavo (68)).
In any event, it must be noted that the Union industry has managed to cut the cost per unit of the main raw materials despite the increase of raw material cost prices during the period considered:
V vsakem primeru gre omeniti, da je industriji Unije uspelo znižati stroške na enoto glavnih surovin kljub povišanju stroškov surovin v obravnavanem obdobju:
Cost of raw material and cost per unit of glass fibre produced
Stroški surovin in stroški na enoto proizvedenih steklenih vlaken
Price/tonne of raw material [3]
cena/tona surovine [3]
Cost of raw material/tonne of glass fibre [3]
strošek surovine/tona steklenih vlaken [3]
The above development of cost of raw material per unit of glass fibre manufactured has been due to investments targeting increased efficiency and competitiveness.
Navedeno gibanje stroškov surovin na proizvedeno enoto steklenih vlaken je posledica naložb v večjo učinkovitost in konkurenčnost.
Indeed, the Union industry has implemented several measures to enhance and rationalise production processes and input costs during the period considered.
Industrija Unije je namreč sprejela več ukrepov za okrepitev in racionalizacijo proizvodnih postopkov in vhodnih stroškov v obravnavanem obdobju.
As concerns labour costs, as already stated in recitals (75) to (77) above, the Union industry reduced its number of employees by 20 % over the period considered, while the average wages have been lowered even without excluding the impact of sizeable severance payments.
Pri stroških dela, kot je bilo že navedeno v uvodnih izjavah (75) do (77), je industrija Unije zmanjšala število zaposlenih za 20 % v obravnavanem obdobju, medtem pa so se povprečne plače zmanjšale celo brez izločitve precejšnjih odpravnin.
For the above reasons, the argument stating that the deteriorated state of the Union industry has actually been caused by the increased cost of production, possibly due to inefficiencies or high labour costs, is therefore dismissed.
Zaradi teh razlogov se zavrne argument, da je slabšanje industrije Unije posledica povišanih proizvodnih stroškov, mogoče zaradi neučinkovitosti ali visokih stroškov dela.
Competitiveness of dumped imports from the PRC and self-inflicted injury by related Chinese producers
Konkurenčnost dampinškega uvoza iz LRK in samopovzročena škoda s povezanimi kitajskimi proizvajalci
It has been claimed that it is the production scale and the modern technology applied by the Chinese exporters that caused injury, rather than dumping of the product under investigation.
Navedeno je bilo, da sta bolj kot damping izdelka v preiskavi škodo povzročila obseg proizvodnje in sodobna tehnologija, ki ju uporabljajo kitajski izvozniki.
Actually, on the whole it can be established that Union producers also have large scale production as well as up to date production processes.
V celoti gledano se lahko ugotovi, da imajo proizvajalci Unije tudi proizvodnjo velikega obsega in sodobne proizvodnje postopke.
An interested party stated that the Union industry could have in fact caused self-inflicted injury to itself by the imports from the Chinese producers related to them.
Ena zainteresirana stran je navedla, da si je industrija Unije verjetno sama prizadejala samopovzročeno škodo z uvozom od kitajskih proizvajalcev, povezanih z njo.
In this context, it must be noted that, as stated in recital (58) above, the volume of such imports has been very limited, both in terms of the production of the Union industry and the imports of the product concerned from the PRC.
Pri tem gre omeniti, da je bil obseg takega uvoza zelo omejen po proizvodnji industrije Unije in uvozu zadevnega izdelka iz LRK, kakor navaja uvodna izjava (58).
Therefore, neither the lack of competitiveness nor the imports from related Chinese producers could be considered as a factor breaking the causal link between dumped imports from the PRC and the established injury.
Zato ne pomanjkanja konkurenčnosti ne uvoza od povezanih kitajskih proizvajalcev ni mogoče šteti za dejavnik, ki bi pretrgal vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in ugotovljeno škodo.
In conclusion, the above analysis has demonstrated that imports of glass fibres from the PRC have increased substantially in terms of quantities over the period considered, gradually eroding the market share of the Union industry.
Skratka, iz zgornje analize je razvidno, da se je uvoz steklenih vlaken iz LRK po količinah močno povečeval v obravnavanem obdobju in s tem postopno zmanjševal tržni delež industrije Unije.
Moreover, these increased quantities which entered the Union marked at dumped prices, severely undercut the Union industry prices, thereby impeding the Union industry to pass on to its customers the increase in the cost of raw materials.
Poleg tega so te povečane količine, ki so vstopile na trg Unije po dampinških cenah, nelojalno močno zniževale prodajne cene industrije Unije in ji s tem preprečevale, da na svoje stranke prenese višje stroške surovin.
Though for a certain period the Union industry had been able to offset the negative effects of this pressure by operating gains in efficiency, this was no longer possible when the economic crisis substantially reduced the level of demand.
Čeprav je industrija Unije nekaj časa zmogla izravnavati negativne učinke tega pritiska z izboljšanjem učinkovitosti, to ni bilo več mogoče, ko je gospodarska kriza občutno zmanjšala raven povpraševanja.
Other factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry have also been analysed.
Analizirani so bili tudi drugi dejavniki, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije.
In this respect, it was found that imports from third countries, the impact of the economic crisis, the development of other sales by the Union industry and other factors including those mentioned in recitals (97) to (116) above, do not appear to be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Pri tem se je pokazalo, da uvoz iz tretjih držav, posledice gospodarske krize, gibanje druge prodaje industrije Unije in drugi dejavniki, vključno s tistimi iz uvodnih izjav (97) do (116), niso videti taki, da bi pretrgali vzročno zvezo, ki je bila ugotovljena med dampinškim uvozom in škodo za industrijo Unije.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors having an effect on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effect of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgornje analize, pri kateri so bili vsi znani dejavniki, ki vplivajo na položaj industrije Unije, ustrezno ločeni od škodljivega učinka dampinškega uvoza, se začasno sklene, da je uvoz iz LRK industriji Unije povzročil znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, 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 Union interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali kljub sklepom o dampingu, škodi in vzročni zvezi obstajajo nujni razlogi, zaradi katerih bi bilo mogoče skleniti, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
The Commission sent questionnaires to independent importers and users.
Komisija je poslala vprašalnike neodvisnim uvoznikom in uporabnikom.
In total, 60 questionnaires were sent out.
Skupaj je bilo poslanih 60 vprašalnikov.
Eventually, two importers and 13 users submitted a questionnaire reply within the time limits set.
Dva uvoznika in 13 uporabnikov je nato predložilo izpolnjene vprašalnike v predpisanem roku.
In addition, several importers and users came forward in the course of the proceeding with letters expressing opposition to any possible measures in this case.
Poleg tega je med postopkom več uvoznikov in uporabnikov z dopisi izrazilo nasprotovanje vsem morebitnim ukrepom za ta primer.
As indicated in recital (56), the like product was manufactured by 11 producers in the Union.
Kot navaja uvodna izjava (56), je v OP podobni izdelek proizvajalo 11 proizvajalcev Unije.
The eight complainants represented more than 90 % of the Union production; two others supported the complaint whilst the 11th company neither supported nor opposed it.
Osem pritožnikov je predstavljalo več kot 90 % proizvodnje Unije; še dva sta podprla pritožbo, medtem ko 11. družba je ni niti podprla niti ji ni nasprotovala.
The three sampled companies, which accounted for ca. 60 % of the total Union production, employed 3300 persons directly involved in the production, sales and administration of the like product.
Tri vzorčene družbe, ki so predstavljale približno 60 % skupne proizvodnje Unije, so zaposlovale 3300 oseb, ki so bile neposredno udeležene pri proizvodnji, prodaji in upravljanju podobnega izdelka.
It is recalled that the injury indicators showed an overall negative trend and that in particular the injury indicators related to market share and the financial performance of the Union industry, such as profitability, return on investment and cash flow, were seriously affected.
Gre spomniti, da so kazalci škode pokazali splošno negativno gibanje in da so bili resno prizadeti zlasti kazalci škode za tržni delež in finančno uspešnost industrije Unije, kot so dobičkonosnost, donosnost naložb in denarni tok.
In particular, over the period considered, the profitability of the Union industry fell from an already very low level of 0,3 % to – 15,0 %, while their market share decreased by 5,6 percentage points.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je dobičkonosnost industrije Unije zmanjšala z že zelo nizke ravni 0,3 % na – 15,0 %, medtem ko se je njen tržni delež zmanjšal za 5,6 odstotnih točk.
If measures are imposed, it is expected that the price depression and loss of market share will come to an end and that the sales prices of the Union industry will start to recover, resulting in a significant improvement of the Union industry's financial situation.
Če se uvedejo ukrepi, se pričakuje, da se bosta padanje cen in izguba tržnega deleža končala in da se bodo prodajne cene industrije Unije začele popravljati, s čimer bi se precej izboljšal njen finančni položaj.
On the other hand it is likely that the deterioration of the Union industry's market and financial situation would continue should anti-dumping measures not be imposed.
Po drugi strani je verjetno, da se bo slabšanje trga in finančnega položaja industrije Unije nadaljevalo, če se protidampinški ukrepi ne uvedejo.
In such a scenario, it is expected that the Union industry will lose further market share and it will no longer be able to follow the market prices set by imports from the PRC.
Pri takem poteku se pričakuje, da bo industrija Unije izgubila dodaten tržni delež in ne bo več zmogla slediti tržnim cenam, ki jih določa uvoz iz LRK.
Further cuts in production and investments and the closure of more production facilities in the Union will be the likely effect, resulting in massive job losses.
Verjetna posledica tega bi bili dodatno zmanjšanje proizvodnje in naložb ter zaprtje proizvodnih obratov v Uniji, ki bi pomenili množično izgubo delovnih mest.
As indicated above, sampling was not applied for the unrelated importers and two unrelated importers fully cooperated in this investigation by submitting a questionnaire reply.
Kot že navedeno se vzorčenje ni uporabilo za nepovezane uvoznike in dva nepovezana uvoznika sta polno sodelovala v preiskavi s predložitvijo izpolnjenih vprašalnikov.
Only a small part of the turnover of these two importers (7 % and 25 % respectively) was generated through their activities with regard to the product concerned from the PRC.
Dejavnost teh dveh uvoznikov z zadevnim izdelkom iz LRK je ustvarila le majhen del njunega prometa (7 % oziroma 25 %).
They both opposed an eventual imposition of anti-dumping measures as they considered that it could lead to a cessation of imports of the product concerned from the PRC.
Oba sta nasprotovala morebitni uvedbi protidampinških ukrepov, saj sta menila, da lahko povzročijo prenehanje uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK.
The imports declared by these two importers however represented a very small proportion of all imports from the PRC in the IP (less than 1 %).
Uvoz, ki sta ga prijavila uvoznika, pa je predstavljal zelo majhen delež vsega uvoza iz LRK v OP (pod 1 %).
No other importers have cooperated by submitting a questionnaire reply or substantiated comments.
Noben drugi uvoznik ni sodeloval s predložitvijo izpolnjenega vprašalnika ali utemeljenih pripomb.
On that basis, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of provisional measures will not have negative effects on the interest of the EU importers to any significant extent.
Glede na navedeno se začasno sklene, da uvedba začasnih protidampinških ukrepov ne bo bistveno negativno vplivala na interes uvoznikov EU.
Filament glass fibres subject to this proceeding are used for a large number of applications.
Steklena vlakna v tem postopku imajo številne načine uporabe.
Cooperation was obtained from the following user groups: weavers (both of high-end specialist fabrics and of more standard fabrics, e.g. for wind energy turbines, marine, transportation, aerospace and infrastructural applications); liner producers; manufacturers of compounds, inter alia used in the automotive industry; producers of composite semi-finished products or end-products.
Sodelovale so naslednje skupine uporabnikov: prejci (tako vrhunskih posebnih tkanin kot navadnejših tkanin, npr. za turbine za vetrno energijo, pomorske, prometne, vesoljske in infrastrukturne uporabe), proizvajalci prevlek, proizvajalci sestavljenih materialov, ki se med drugim uporabljajo v avtomobilski industriji ter proizvajalci kompozitnih polizdelkov ali končnih izdelkov.
The volumes of the product concerned form the PRC purchased by the cooperating users represented ca. 20 % of the glass fibres imports from the PRC during the IP.
Obseg zadevnega izdelka iz LRK, ki so ga kupili sodelujoči uporabniki, je predstavljal približno 20 % uvoza steklenih vlaken iz LRK v OP.
From the information submitted through the questionnaire replies it further appears that the Union users’ industry employs a significant number of people.
Iz podatkov iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov je še razvidno, da uporabniška industrija Unije zaposluje precejšnje število ljudi.
Although in this respect, at this stage, no comprehensive and substantiated data has been submitted, the number of people working in the downstream industry in the EU can, on the basis of the information contained in these questionnaire replies, provisionally be estimated at 50000 – 75000.
Čeprav na tej stopnji niso bili predloženi izčrpni in podkrepljeni podatki o tem, se po podatkih iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov lahko začasno oceni, da v industriji na koncu proizvodne verige v EU dela 50000–75000 ljudi.
On the same basis, the employment of the glass fibre using divisions of those companies that used Chinese glass fibres during the IP can be estimated at ca. 27000.
Na isti podlagi se lahko oceni, da zaposlujejo oddelki, ki uporabljajo steklena vlakna, v družbah, ki so v OP uporabljale kitajska steklena vlakna, približno 27000 ljudi.
Most of the cooperating users reported to buy glass fibres from Chinese as well as other sources, including European producers.
Večina sodelujočih uporabnikov je navedla, da kupuje steklena vlakna iz kitajskih in drugih virov, vključno z evropskimi proizvajalci.
Only a few of them bought their glass fibres exclusively from the PRC.
Le malokateri so kupovali steklena vlakna izključno iz LRK.
In this sector, there is not only a wide variety in the activities of the downstream industry, but the size of these companies can also vary to a significant degree – and certain of them are part of internationally operating larger groups of companies whereas others are fully independent.
V tej panogi niso le dejavnosti industrije na koncu proizvodne verige zelo razvejene, ampak se tudi velikost teh družb lahko občutno razlikuje – in nekatere so del večjih skupin družb z mednarodnim poslovanjem, druge pa so popolnoma neodvisne.
Possible impacts of measures on users’ profitability
Možni učinki ukrepov na dobičkonosnost uporabnikov
On the basis of the questionnaire replies, the glass fibres user industry appears to be in a relatively healthy state.
Po izpolnjenih vprašalnikih se uporabniška industrija steklenih vlaken zdi razmeroma zdrava.
Indeed, most of the cooperating users reported profits on the production and sales of their products which contained the product under investigation throughout the period considered including the IP.
Večina sodelujočih uporabnikov je namreč za vse obravnavano obdobje, vključno z OP, prijavila dobiček pri proizvodnji in prodaji izdelkov, ki so vsebovali izdelek v preiskavi.
However, a few users reported a loss on this activity during the IP but the profit of several others was in the range between 5 % and 10 %.
Nekaj uporabnikov je prijavilo izgubo za to dejavnost v OP, ampak dobiček več drugih se je gibal med 5 % in 10 %.
The glass fibres purchase costs represent, in general, a significant part of the manufacturing costs of the user industry's products.
Nabavni stroški steklenih vlaken na splošno znašajo precejšnji del proizvodnih stroškov pri izdelkih uporabniške industrije.
According to the reported data this share can, depending on the product made of it, range from 10 % to more than 50 %.
Po predloženih podatkih lahko ta delež znaša od 10 % do preko 50 %, odvisno od izdelka.
Therefore, for certain users an increase in the purchase costs of Chinese glass fibres may have a noticeable cost impact.
Za nekatere uporabnike lahko zato ima povišanje nabavnih stroškov kitajskih steklenih vlaken opazen učinek na stroške.
On the basis of the information contained in the questionnaire replies of the cooperating users, on average, the possible profit impact of the anti-dumping measures can be estimated around 1 % on the turnover of those divisions of the user companies that use glass fibres, but less than 0,5 % on the turnover of the total companies within which glass fibre using divisions exist.
Po podatkih iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov sodelujočih uporabnikov se v povprečju lahko oceni možni vpliv protidampinških ukrepov na dobiček na okrog 1 % prometa tistih oddelkov uporabniških družb, ki uporabljajo steklena vlakna, in na manj kot 0,5 % prometa celote družb, v katerih so oddelki, ki uporabljajo steklena vlakna.
In other words, the profitability of a glass fibre using division, and that of a total company, would be affected, respectively, on average by around one and less than half a percentage point.
Drugače povedano bi na dobičkonosnost oddelka, ki uporablja steklena vlakna, in celotne družbe v povprečju vplivalo za okrog eno odstotno točko oziroma manj kot pol odstotne točke.
It should be noted, however, that in the case of certain user companies, the above impact could be higher, up to ca. 5 % of their company turnover.
Gre pa omeniti, da bi učinek na nekatere uporabniške družbe lahko bil večji, do približno 5 % prometa družbe.
In view of the profit levels of certain users and the share of glass fibres in their production costs, it cannot be excluded that their profitability could be affected by a strong price increase of glass fibres, unless such cost increase can be passed on, entirely or at least for a good part, to their customers.
Zaradi stopenj dobička pri nekaterih uporabnikih in deleža steklenih vlaken v njihovih proizvodnih stroških ni mogoče izključiti, da bi njihovo dobičkonosnost lahko prizadelo močno povišanje cen steklenih vlaken, razen če povišanja stroškov ne bi mogli v celoti ali dobršnem delu prenesti na stranke.
All in all, it can provisionally be concluded that, while some user companies might be more affected by the possible impact of the anti-dumping measures, other users are likely to be affected to a rather moderate extent.
Skratka, lahko se začasno sklene, da čeprav možni učinek protidampinških ukrepov lahko bolj prizadene nekatere uporabniške družbe, bi bil za druge uporabnike verjetno precej zmeren.
Lack of interchangeability
Pomanjkanje medsebojne zamenljivosti
It was claimed by several users that many of the glass fibres needed by the user industry could not be purchased off-the-shelf.
Nekateri uporabniki so trdili, da veliko steklenih vlaken, ki jih potrebuje uporabniška industrija, ni mogoče že takih kupiti na trgu.
Instead, suppliers would need to go through a lengthy and complicated qualification process which could take 6 to 12 months, without a guarantee of success.
Pač pa morajo dobavitelji skozi dolgotrajen in zapleten postopek za izpolnjevanje pogojev, ki lahko traja od 6 do 12 mesecev brez zagotovljenega uspeha.
