Impact of imports from other third countries
Vpliv uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav
Some parties maintained the argument that the impact of the Turkish imports had to be considered as significant.
Nekatere strani so vztrajale pri argumentu, da je treba vpliv turškega uvoza obravnavati kot znatnega.
In terms of prices one party challenged the conclusion that the increase of 19 % of Turkish prices was substantial.
V zvezi s cenami je ena stran izpodbijala sklepno ugotovitev, da je bilo povišanje turških cen za 19 % znatno.
This argument was discussed in recital 118 of the provisional Regulation and no new evidence was found which would invalidate the conclusion made at provisional stage.
Ta argument je bil obravnavan v uvodni izjavi 118 začasne uredbe, pri čemer niso bili ugotovljeni nobeni novi dokazi, ki bi razveljavili sklepno ugotovitev z začasne stopnje.
In this context it is confirmed that the increase of 19 % of the Turkish prices must be considered as substantial.
V zvezi s tem je potrjeno, da je treba povišanje turških cen za 19 % obravnavati kot znatno.
It is furthermore recalled, as indicated in recital 41, that there was no evidence of dumped imports that caused injury to the Union industry from this country and therefore this argument cannot be upheld.
Poleg tega je treba, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 41, opozoriti, da ni bilo nobenih dokazov o dampinškem uvozu iz te države, ki bi povzročil škodo industriji Unije, zato tega argumenta ni mogoče zagovarjati.
Impact of decrease in consumption
Vpliv zmanjšanja potrošnje
One interested party claimed that the decrease in consumption affected mainly Spain and Italy where allegedly injury was most present.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je zmanjšanje potrošnje vplivalo večinoma na Španijo in Italijo, kjer je bila domnevno povzročena največja škoda.
Conversely, the main destination of the Chinese exports was the northern Member States that did not show a decrease in consumption and where Union producers were allegedly less injured.
Po drugi strani so bile glavni cilj kitajskega uvoza severne države članice, kjer se potrošnja ni zmanjšala in kjer so proizvajalci Unije domnevno utrpeli manjšo škodo.
The same party also held that the Spanish ceramic tiles industry has recovered in 2010 which shows that there is no link between Chinese exports and the production and sales figures of the Union industry.
Ista stran je trdila tudi, da si je španska industrija keramičnih ploščic leta 2010 opomogla, kar kaže na to, da med kitajskim izvozom ter proizvodnjo in prodajo industrije Unije ni nobene povezave.
One party claimed that the increase of stocks registered by the Union industry should be attributed to a fall in Union consumption, and not to the dumped Chinese imports.
Ena stran je trdila, da bi bilo treba povečanje zalog, zabeleženo s strani industrije Unije, pripisati zmanjšanju potrošnje Unije in ne dampinškemu kitajskemu uvozu.
The claims that the northern European Member States were not affected by the decrease in consumption and that imports from China would have been directed only towards northern Europe, was not supported by any substantiated evidence.
Trditve, da zmanjšanje potrošnje ni vplivalo na severnoevropske države članice in da je bil uvoz iz Kitajske usmerjen le v severno Evropo, niso bile podprte z nobenimi utemeljenimi dokazi.
To the contrary, data from the sampled Chinese exporting producers shows that these sales are evenly spread across the Union.
Podatki vzorčenih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov kažejo ravno nasprotno, in sicer da je ta prodaja enakomerno porazdeljena po Uniji.
Furthermore, Spain and Italy collectively account for 28 % of these sales, only slightly below sales to Germany (32 %).
Poleg tega Španija in Italija skupaj predstavljata 28 % te prodaje, pri čemer je ta delež le nekoliko manjši od prodaje Nemčiji (32 %).
On this basis, these claims were rejected.
Na podlagi tega so bile te trditve zavrnjene.
With regards to the claim that the increase of stocks registered by the Union industry should be attributed to a fall in Union consumption, the Commission recalls the reasoning contained in recital 108 of the provisional Regulation, i.e. that the pressure of Chinese imports was very strong especially in the sector of sales of big batches and that this had a clear impact on the Union producers’ stocks.
Komisija v zvezi s trditvijo, da bi bilo treba povečanje zalog, zabeleženo s strani industrije Unije, pripisati zmanjšanju potrošnje Unije, opozarja na obrazložitev iz uvodne izjave 108 začasne uredbe, tj. da je bil pritisk kitajskega uvoza zelo velik zlasti v sektorju prodaje velikih serij in da je to očitno vplivalo na zaloge proizvajalcev Unije.
The growth of the stock ratio over the period considered cannot be explained only by the difficulty in selling the products, but also by the necessity to keep an extremely high variety of products available in the stocks.
Povečanja zalog v obravnavanem obdobju ni mogoče pojasniti le s težavo pri prodaji izdelkov, ampak tudi s potrebo po ohranitvi razpoložljivosti številnih različnih izdelkov v zalogah.
The conclusion on the injurious effect of Chinese imports on stocks is therefore confirmed.
Zato se sklepna ugotovitev o škodljivem učinku kitajskega uvoza na zaloge potrdi.
Several interested parties maintained that the economic crisis was the real cause of the difficulties facing the Union industry.
Več zainteresiranih strani je vztrajalo, da je gospodarska kriza resnični vzrok za težave, s katerimi se sooča industrija Unije.
This was evidenced by the fact that the main deteriorations took place between 2008 and 2009, i.e. in the year that the crisis hit, while the trend was less sharp in the following period.
Kot dokaz so predložile dejstvo, da se je položaj najbolj poslabšal med letoma 2008 in 2009, tj. tistega leta, ko je nastopila kriza, medtem ko so se razmere v naslednjem obdobju ublažile.
It is also pointed out that the period considered included the high and low peaks of a cycle with the high point being characterised by the boom in the construction sector and the low point by the financial crisis and the decrease in exports due to the establishment of new production sites in third world countries.
Izpostavile so tudi, da je obravnavano obdobje vključevalo poraste in padce v ciklu, pri čemer je najvišjo točko predstavljal razcvet v gradbenem sektorju, najnižjo pa finančna kriza in zmanjšanje izvoza zaradi ustanovitve novih proizvodnih obratov v državah tretjega sveta.
After final disclosure, one interested party maintained that the deterioration of a number of injury indicators was due to the economic crisis rather than the dumped imports.
Ena zainteresirana stran je po dokončnem razkritju vztrajala, da je poslabšanje številnih kazalnikov škode posledica gospodarske krize in ne dampinškega uvoza.
According to this party, the effect of the recession was to increase the demand of large bulk of low priced products.
Po navedbah te strani je recesija vplivala na povečanje povpraševanja po veliki količini nizkocenovnih izdelkov.
As a result, the Union industry had to focus more into the production for large bulk orders, a segment where the Chinese were already operating, with an increase in stock level as a result.
Zato se je morala industrija Unije bolj osredotočiti na proizvodnjo za naročila v velikih količinah, pri čemer je bila Kitajska v tem segmentu že dejavna, posledica tega pa je bilo povečanje obsega zalog.
Furthermore, the recession allegedly caused inflation in the Union, comparatively higher than in China, causing the increase in costs of production of the Union producers which allegedly led the Union industry to sell at prices below costs of production.
Poleg tega je recesija v Uniji domnevno povzročila višjo inflacijo v primerjavi s Kitajsko, kar je prispevalo k povečanju stroškov proizvodnje za proizvajalce Unije, zaradi česar je industrija Unije domnevno prodajala po cenah, ki so bile nižje od stroškov proizvodnje.
Another party claimed that the profit of the Union industry had gone up significantly in the last quarter of the IP and that this showed that the Union industry had recovered after the economic crisis.
Druga stran je trdila, da se je dobiček industrije Unije v zadnji četrtini OP znatno povečal in da to dokazuje, da si je industrija Unije po gospodarski krizi opomogla.
This party requested that profit for the IP should be given per quarter which would likely indicate a significantly higher profitability towards the end of the IP.
Ta stran je zahtevala, da bi moral biti dobiček za OP naveden po četrtinah, kar bi verjetno kazalo na znatno višjo dobičkonosnost proti koncu OP.
The fact that the economic downturn did have an effect on the performance of the Union industry was already acknowledged in recital 120 of the Regulation imposing provisional measures.
Dejstvo, da je gospodarska recesija vplivala na uspešnost industrije Unije, je bilo priznano že v uvodni izjavi 120 uredbe o uvedbi začasnih ukrepov.
In this context it should be recalled that in order for causation to be established, the relevant legal standard stipulates that the dumped imports need to have caused material injury to the Union Industry.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da ustrezni pravni standardi določajo, da se lahko vzročna zveza ugotovi v primeru, da je dampinški uvoz povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
Dumped imports however need not have been the sole cause of injury.
Vendar ni nujno, da je dampinški uvoz edini vzrok za škodo.
Furthermore the investigation showed that the Chinese trend of increasing exports could continue despite the economic crisis.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da se je povečanje kitajskega izvoza lahko nadaljevalo kljub gospodarski krizi.
China was indeed the only actor in the market that was able to maintain its market share in the difficult economic situation.
Kitajska je bila dejansko edina udeleženka na trgu, ki je bila zmožna ohraniti svoj tržni delež v težkih gospodarskih razmerah.
As for the structural change in the Union demand mentioned in recital 156, no evidence was brought forward in support of this claim.
Kar zadeva strukturno spremembo povpraševanja v Uniji, navedeno v uvodni izjavi 156, niso bili predloženi nobeni dokazi v podporo tej trditvi.
To the contrary, it is recalled that, as explained in recital 106 of the provisional Regulation, the investigation revealed that the Union industry had to change its product mix by supplying a larger variety of products in terms of types, colour and size and had to increase its stocks in order to react in a short time to very specific orders.
Opozoriti je treba, da je preiskava, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 106 začasne uredbe, pokazala ravno nasprotno, in sicer da je morala industrija Unije spremeniti svoj izbor izdelkov z dobavo po vrsti, barvi in velikosti raznovrstnejših izdelkov ter povečati svoje zaloge, da bi se lahko zelo hitro odzvala na zelo posebna naročila.
This claim has therefore to be rejected.
Zato je treba to trditev zavrniti.
Concerning the impact of inflation in the costs of production, it is observed that the inflation rate in the Union has not been on average higher than in China during the period under consideration and that it cannot therefore explain the difficulties of Union producers in selling at sustainable prices.
Kar zadeva vpliv inflacije na stroške proizvodnje, je treba opozoriti, da stopnja inflacije v Uniji med obravnavanim obdobjem v povprečju ni bila višja od stopnje inflacije na Kitajskem in da zato ne more pojasniti težav proizvajalcev Unije pri prodaji po trajnostnih cenah.
Given the level of undercutting it can furthermore not be concluded that a downward pressure on Chinese import prices has been caused by the Union industry.
Poleg tega glede na stopnjo nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen ni mogoče skleniti, da je industrija Unije prispevala k znižanju kitajskih uvoznih cen.
On this basis, the claim brought forward by this party had to be rejected.
Na podlagi tega je bilo treba trditev, ki jo je podala ta stran, zavrniti.
As concerns the situation of the Union industry on the other hand, it is recalled that the provisional Regulation (recital 126) showed that the aggressive pricing behaviour by the Chinese exporters affected the Union industry profitability over the period under consideration already before the world economic downturn.
Po drugi strani je treba v zvezi s položajem industrije Unije opozoriti, da je začasna uredba (uvodna izjava 126) pokazala, da je agresivno cenovno obnašanje kitajskih izvoznikov med obravnavanim obdobjem vplivalo na dobičkonosnost industrije Unije že pred svetovno gospodarsko recesijo.
This shows that even in the absence of the crisis, the pressure of low-priced imports from China was on its own sufficient to be able to cause material injury to the Union industry.
To dokazuje, da je tudi ob odsotnosti krize pritisk nizkocenovnega uvoza iz Kitajske sam po sebi zadostoval za povzročitev znatne škode industriji Unije.
This fact, if considered together with dumped prices, strengthens the conclusion that the causal link between Chinese exports and the Union industry’s injury is not broken by the economic downturn.
To dejstvo, če je obravnavano skupaj z dampinškimi cenami, potrjuje sklepno ugotovitev, da vzročna zveza med kitajskim izvozom in škodo, povzročeno industriji Unije, zaradi gospodarske recesije ni prekinjena.
Concerning the request that profit for the IP be given per quarter, this was not considered to be relevant in the current investigation because even if such a more pronounced improvement of the profit had occurred, it would have to be compared to the target profit of 3,9 %.
Kar zadeva zahtevo, da se dobiček za OP navede po četrtinah, to v trenutni preiskavi ni veljalo za pomembno, saj bi bilo treba dobiček tudi v primeru izrazitega izboljšanja primerjati s ciljnim dobičkom v višini 3,9 %.
Impact of the Union industry’s failure to restructure
Vpliv neprestrukturiranja industrije Unije
One interested party claimed that injury to the Union producers should be attributed to their failure to restructure as the market contraction of 29 % had been met only with a 7 % capacity cut and a 16 % cut in employment.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da bi bilo treba škodo proizvajalcem Unije pripisati njihovemu neprestrukturiranju, saj so se na krčenje trga v višini 29 % odzvali le z zmanjšanjem zmogljivosti za 7 % in zmanjšanjem zaposlenosti za 16 %.
In this sector, the dismissal of production capacity is a difficult process, as the recuperation of the capacity in case of an eventual recovery of the market is extremely costly for the producers.
V tem sektorju je zmanjšanje proizvodne zmogljivosti težaven postopek, saj je povečanje zmogljivosti v primeru morebitnega okrevanja trga zelo drago za proizvajalce.
The cut in employment seen in the period concerned was in the same order of magnitude as the decrease of the market.
Stopnja zmanjšanja zaposlenosti iz zadevnega obdobja je bila enaka stopnji zmanjšanja trga.
The trend for employment does not have to perfectly mirror the trend of the output, since not all jobs are directly linked to actual production.
Ni nujno, da gibanje zaposlenosti popolnoma odraža gibanje proizvodnje, saj niso vsa delovna mesta neposredno povezana z dejansko proizvodnjo.
In conclusion, the fact that the dismissal of capacity and working force in the industry did not exactly match the contraction of the market does not point to a failure to restructure.
Nazadnje, dejstvo, da zmanjšanje zmogljivosti in delovne sile v industriji ni popolnoma ustrezalo krčenju trga, ne kaže na neprestrukturiranje.
Contrary to the claims and taking into account the structure of the industry, a 7 % capacity cut and a 16 % cut in employment must therefore be considered significant.
Zato je treba zmanjšanje zmogljivosti za 7 % in zmanjšanje zaposlenosti za 16 % v nasprotju s trditvami in ob upoštevanju strukture industrije obravnavati kot znatno.
Effect of the Union industry’s performance on export markets
Učinek uspešnosti industrije Unije na izvozne trge
One interested party claimed that it was the high prices and not the effect of the Chinese exports that had caused the decline in the Union industry export sales.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je zmanjšanje izvoza industrije Unije posledica visokih cen in ne učinka kitajskega uvoza.
In respect of this claim it is recalled that the Union industry export performance has recovered after the economic crisis.
V zvezi s to trditvijo je treba opozoriti, da si je izvoz industrije Unije po gospodarski krizi opomogel.
The claim that the export performance would have had a significantly detrimental effect on the results of the Union industry can therefore not be accepted.
Zato trditve, da bi imel izvoz znaten škodljiv učinek na rezultate industrije Unije, ni mogoče sprejeti.
None of the arguments submitted by the interested parties demonstrates that the impact of factors other than dumped imports from China is such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury found.
Niti eden od argumentov, ki so jih predložile zainteresirane strani, ne dokazuje, da je vpliv dejavnikov, razen dampinškega uvoza iz Kitajske, tako velik, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in ugotovljeno škodo.
In view of parties’ comments the Commission conducted further analysis of all arguments pertaining to the Union interest.
Komisija je ob upoštevanju pripomb strani izvedla nadaljnjo analizo vseh argumentov v zvezi z interesom Unije.
All issues have been examined and the conclusions of the provisional Regulation confirmed.
Vsa vprašanja so bila preučena in sklepne ugotovitve iz začasne uredbe so bile potrjene.
In the absence of comments regarding the interest of the Union industry, the conclusions in recitals 137 to 141 of the provisional Regulation are hereby confirmed.
Ker v zvezi z interesom industrije Unije ni bilo pripomb, se sklepne ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 137 do 141 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
One party claimed that the imposition of measures threatened the economic existence of importers as they would be able to only partially pass over the extra costs of the duties to their customers.
Ena stran je trdila, da je uvedba ukrepov ogrozila gospodarski obstoj uvoznikov, saj bi lahko dodatne stroške dajatev le delno prenesli na svoje stranke.
Following final disclosure two parties opposed the conclusion that importers can easily switch from Chinese supplies to other sources of supply, in particular because qualities and prices were not comparable.
Dve strani sta po dokončnem razkritju nasprotovali sklepni ugotovitvi, da se lahko uvozniki zlahka preusmerijo s kitajske oskrbe na druge oskrbovalne vire, zlasti ker kakovost in cene niso primerljive.
Regarding this claim, it is recalled that a large part of imports is not affected by duties as it is of non-Chinese origin.
V zvezi s to trditvijo je treba opozoriti, da za velik del uvoza dajatve ne veljajo, saj ni kitajskega porekla.
The characteristics of the product, being produced all over the world in comparable qualities, suggest that these products are interchangeable and that therefore a number of alternative sources are available, despite the allegations made.
Lastnosti izdelka, ki se proizvaja po vsem svetu s primerljivo kakovostjo, kažejo na to, da so ti izdelki zamenljivi in da so zato kljub trditvam na voljo številni nadomestni viri.
Even for importers that rely on Chinese imports, which the investigation found to be dumped and sold at prices which significantly undercut those of the products originating in the Union, the investigation found that importers can apply to their selling prices mark-ups in excess of 30 %.
Tudi za uvoznike, ki se zanašajo na kitajski uvoz, za katerega je bilo v preiskavi ugotovljeno, da je dampinški in da se prodaja po cenah, ki so znatno nelojalno nižale prodajne cene izdelkov s poreklom iz Unije, je preiskava pokazala, da lahko uvozniki pri svojih prodajnih cenah uporabljajo pribitke, ki presegajo 30 %.
This, together with the fact that importers have been found to have realised profits of around 5 % and their possibility to pass on at least part of potential cost increases to their customers, suggests that they are in a position to cope with the impact of measures.
To skupaj z dejstvom, da je bilo za uvoznike ugotovljeno, da so ustvarili dobiček v višini približno 5 %, in njihovo možnostjo, da vsaj del morebitnih povišanih stroškov prenesejo na svoje stranke, kaže na to, da lahko obvladajo vpliv ukrepov.
Furthermore, and as concluded in recital 144 of the provisional Regulation, the imposition of measures would not hamper Union importers from increasing their import shares of products from the other non-dumped sources available to them both in the Union and in other third countries.
Poleg tega uvedba ukrepov v skladu s sklepno ugotovitvijo iz uvodne izjave 144 začasne uredbe ne bi ovirala uvoznikov Unije pri povečanju njihovih deležev uvoza izdelkov iz drugih nedampinških virov, ki so jim na voljo v Uniji in drugih tretjih državah.
One importer alleged that for a certain product type, Chinese prices would currently be higher that those of the Union industry and that measures would therefore not allow to export this specific type in the future.
En uvoznik je trdil, da bodo za določeno vrsto izdelkov kitajske cene trenutno višje od cen industrije Unije in da zato ukrepi v prihodnje ne bodo dopuščali izvoza te posebne vrste.
This claim was not supported by any evidence.
Ta trditev ni bila podprta z nobenimi dokazi.
Furthermore, according to the information available, this product type only represented a minor proportion of the market and would not affect significantly the supply situation in the Union market.
Poleg tega je na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij ta vrsta izdelkov predstavljala le majhen delež trga in ne bo imela znatnega vpliva na stanje oskrbe na trgu Unije.
Some interested parties claimed that the impact on users would be significant.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da bo vpliv na uporabnike znaten.
In particular it was held that even the minimum price increase of 32,3 % will prevent customers’ quality purchases.
Zlasti so trdile, da bo tudi minimalno povišanje cen za 32,3 % preprečilo kakovostne nakupe strank.
It was also held that while it may be true that the impact on large diversified Do-It-Yourself shops might be limited, small specialist shops would be significantly affected.
Trdile so tudi, da bo vpliv na velike raznolike trgovine z izdelki za hišna popravila morda res omejen, vendar bo na majhne specializirane trgovine znaten.
As for the impact on final users, the Commission confirms what was provisionally concluded in the Commission Regulation imposing provisional duties, under recitals 152 and 153, i.e. that the price effect will be limited.
Kar zadeva vpliv na končne uporabnike, Komisija potrjuje, kar je bilo začasno sklenjeno v uvodnih izjavah 152 in 153 uredbe Komisije o uvedbi začasnih dajatev, tj. da bo cenovni učinek omejen.
The construction sector, one of the larger customers of ceramic tiles’ producers, decided not to cooperate in the investigation.
Gradbeni sektor, ki je eden od večjih strank proizvajalcev keramičnih ploščic, se je odločil, da ne bo sodeloval v preiskavi.
After the imposition of provisional measures, the European Construction Industry Federation – FIEC – was again invited to provide statistics showing to what extent, if any, it would be affected by the imposition of measures.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov je bilo Evropsko združenje gradbene dejavnosti (FIEC) ponovno pozvano k predložitvi statističnih podatkov o tem, v kolikšni meri bi nanj vplivala uvedba ukrepov oziroma ali bi sploh imela kakršen koli vpliv.
FIEC confirmed that, although there is no information directly available, the cost impact of the measures on their overall business is very low.
Združenje FIEC je potrdilo, da je kljub temu, da niso neposredno na voljo nobene informacije, stroškovni vpliv ukrepov na njihovo splošno poslovanje zelo majhen.
They also explained that the low interest by their members should be seen as supporting the Commission proposal.
Pojasnilo je tudi, da je treba pomanjkanje interesa s strani članov združenja obravnavati kot znak podpore predlogu Komisije.
