In this respect it is noted that the Commission requested the direct involvement of the GOC when arranging meetings with those banks that have provided loans to the cooperating exporting producers.
S tem v zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je Komisija zahtevala neposredno sodelovanje kitajske vlade pri pripravi sestankov z bankami, ki so sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom dale posojila.
For this purpose, the GOC was also provided with a list of the banks that had provided such loans.
S tem namenom je bil kitajski vladi tudi predložen seznam bank, ki so taka posojila dodeljevala.
The GOC was also requested to ensure that policy banks and other financial institutions would be present during the on-the-spot verification visit at the premises of the GOC in order to reply to questions referring to the part of the questionnaire intended for these parties.
Komisija je od kitajske vlade zahtevala tudi, naj zagotovi, da bodo med preveritvenim obiskom na kraju samem v prostorih kitajske vlade prisotne politične banke in druge finančne ustanove, da bodo odgovarjale na vprašanja, povezana z delom vprašalnika, namenjenega tem stranem.
None of the above requests was ever acted upon by the GOC.
Kitajska vlada se ni odzvala na nobeno od navedenih zahtev.
The GOC argued that the use of adverse inferences is unjustified in the present case as the GOC provided to its best of its abilities the information it had available.
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da uporaba negativnih sklepov v tem primeru ni upravičena, saj je po svojih najboljših zmožnostih predložila informacije, ki jih je imela na voljo.
GOC submitted that banks are third parties to these proceedings and not interested parties as defined in Article 12(9) of the SCM Agreement and thus there is no obligation for them to cooperate.
Kitajska vlada je navedla, da so banke tretje strani v tem postopku in ne zainteresirane strani, kot je opredeljeno v členu 12(9) Sporazuma o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih, in zato niso obvezane k sodelovanju.
It was also submitted that the Commission displayed arbitrariness and acted inconsistently to WTO rules since GOC provided sufficient information with respect to lending from banks and land-use rights.
Navedla je tudi, da se je Komisija samovoljno odločala in delovala neskladno s pravili STO, saj je kitajska vlada predložila dovolj informacij glede posojil bank in pravic do uporabe zemljišč.
In this respect it is recalled that the Commission did not apply adverse inferences to the GOC.
S tem v zvezi je treba spomniti, da Komisija za kitajsko vlado ni uporabila negativnih sklepov.
Furthermore, as it is stated under recital (276) above, the Commission used whatever information the GOC provided but since significant information was missing it had to complement data provided with other available sources in order to arrive at a representative finding.
Poleg tega je Komisija, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (276), uporabila vse informacije, ki jih je predložila kitajska vlada, vendar je morala, da bi prišla do reprezentativne ugotovitve, zaradi pomanjkanja bistvenih informacij zagotovljene podatke dopolniti z drugimi razpoložljivimi viri.
With respect to the claims made on interested parties it is recalled that Article 12(9) of the SCM Agreement clearly states that domestic or foreign parties other than the ones mentioned therein could be included as interested parties.
Glede trditev o zainteresiranih straneh je treba spomniti, da člen 12(9) Sporazuma SIU jasno navaja, da so lahko kot zainteresirane strani vključene domače ali tuje strani, ki niso strani, navedene v Sporazumu.
With respect to these proceedings the Commission, on the basis of the complaint, requested information concerning the preferential lending to the coated paper industry.
Z upoštevanjem tega postopka je Komisija na podlagi pritožbe zahtevala informacije o preferenčnih posojilih industriji premazanega papirja.
Moreover, such information is directly linked to banks that are majority State-owned.
Poleg tega so take informacije neposredno povezane z bankami, ki so v večinski državni lasti.
Both the cooperating exporting producers and the GOC were made aware of this.
O tem so bili seznanjeni tako sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki kot kitajska vlada.
The fact that sufficient information with respect to lending from banks was simply not provided forced the Commission to resort in the application of facts available in line with the provisions of Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Dejstvo, da zadostne informacije glede dajanja posojil s strani bank niso bile predložene, je Komisijo prisililo, da je v skladu z določbami člena 28 osnovne uredbe uporabila dejstva, ki so bila na voljo.
ALLEGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO USE OF BEST INFORMATION AVAILABLE
TRDITVE V ZVEZI Z UPORABO NAJBOLJŠIH DOSTOPNIH INFORMACIJ
APP claimed that the Commission is prevented from discarding information that is not ideal in all respects if the interested party that supplied the information has, nevertheless, acted to the best of its ability.
APP je trdila, da Komisija ne sme izločiti informacij, ki niso v vseh pogledih popolne, če je zainteresirana stran, ki je predložila informacije, kljub vsemu delovala po najboljših zmožnostih.
APP further claimed thatEeven in cases where a party failed to cooperate to the best of its ability, when using facts available to it, the Commission must take into account all the substantiated facts provided by an interested party even if those facts may not constitute the complete information requested of the party.
Prav tako je APP trdila, da tudi v primerih, v katerih stran ni sodelovala po najboljših zmožnostih, mora ob uporabi razpoložljivih dejstev Komisija upoštevati vsa utemeljena dejstva, ki jih je predložila zainteresirana stran, tudi če ta dejstva niso popolne informacije, ki so bile zahtevane.
The Commission is therefore compelled, under both the basic Regulation and the SCM Agreement, not to disregard such information.
Komisija zato v skladu z osnovno uredbo in Sporazumom SIU takih informacij ne sme prezreti.
The GOC submitted that recourse to facts available is not permissible if an interested Member or interested party has demonstrated that it has acted to its best of its abilities and provided information that was verifiable, appropriately submitted so it can be used in the investigation, supplied in timely fashion and in a medium or computer language requested by the investigating authorities.
Kitajska vlada je navedla, da upoštevanje razpoložljivih dejstev ni dovoljeno, če je zainteresirana članica ali stran dokazala, da je delovala po najboljših zmožnostih, in zagotovila informacije, ki so bile preverljive, ustrezno predložene, da jih je bilo mogoče uporabiti v preiskavi, predložene pravočasno in na mediju ali v računalniškem jeziku, ki so ga zahtevali preiskovalni organi.
This was not the case here.
V tem primeru se to ni zgodilo.
In this respect it is recalled that the Commission resorted to facts available in line with the provisions of Article 28 of the basic Regulation and Article 12(7) of the SCM Agreement because the GOC and exporting producers, although repeatedly requested to do so, did not provide information that was considered necessary for the investigation in order to arrive at a representative finding.
S tem v zvezi je treba spomniti, da je Komisija uporabila razpoložljiva dejstva v skladu z določbami člena 28 osnovne uredbe in člena 12(7) Sporazuma SIU, ker kitajska vlada in proizvajalci izvozniki kljub večkratnim zahtevam niso zagotovili informacij, za katere je Komisija menila, da so potrebne za preiskavo, da bi lahko prišla so reprezentativne ugotovitve.
Indeed, the Commission had to seek to repair the fundamental problem it encountered as investigating authority i.e. the fact that the GOC refused access or failed to provide actual information on plans, role of the banks, evaluation of credit risk when granting loans to cooperating exporting producers, pricing of LUR or legal documents referring to the various investigated schemes.
Dejansko si je morala Komisija prizadevati, da bi rešila temeljni problem, na katerega je kot preiskovalni organ naletela, tj. dejstvo, da je kitajska vlada zavrnila dostop do dejanskih informacij o načrtih, vlogi bank, oceni kreditnega tveganja pri dodeljevanju posojil sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, določanju cen pravic do uporabe zemljišč ali pravnih dokumentih, ki se nanašajo na različne preiskovane sheme, oziroma jih ni zagotovila.
In the same way the co-operating exporting producers failed to provide information concerning loans attributed by Chinese banks.
Na enak način sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki niso zagotovili informacij glede posojil, ki so jim jih dodelile kitajske banke.
Therefore, the way the GOC and the exporting producers cooperated does not meet the standards established by the WTO Appellate Body in United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan, which concluded that the level of cooperation required of interested parties is a ‘high’ one and that interested parties must act to the ‘best of their abilities’ [12].
Zato način, na katerega so kitajska vlada in proizvajalci izvozniki sodelovali, ne izpolnjuje standardov, ki jih je določil pritožbeni organ STO v zadevi Združene države – protidampinški ukrepi na nekatere izdelke vroče valjanega jekla iz Japonske, v kateri je sklenil, da je stopnja sodelovanja, ki se zahteva od zainteresiranih strani, „visoka“ in da morajo zainteresirane strani delovati „po najboljših zmožnostih“ [12].
The Commission fails to understand why it was not possible to the GOC and the exporting producers to submit/arrange the missing items and no credible explanation was provided by the GOC or the exporting prodcuers.
Komisija ne razume, zakaj kitajska vlada in proizvajalci izvozniki niso uspeli predložiti/urediti manjkajoče zadeve in niso zagotovili nobene verodostojne razlage.
The GOC also submitted that the conditions for resorting to the use of best information available were not fulfilled and that GOC may have failed to provide certain information simple because such information does not exist, is no longer relevant or is unavailable, it was not requested in the questionnaire or in advance before verification.
Kitajska vlada je tudi navedla, da pogoji za uporabo najboljših dostopnih informacij niso bili izpolnjeni in da kitajska vlada morda ni zagotovila določenih informacij, ker takšne informacije ne obstajajo, niso več pomembne ali na voljo oziroma niso bile zahtevane v vprašalniku ali vnaprej pred preverjanjem.
That argument had to be rejected.
To trditev je bilo treba zavrniti.
In this respect it is noted that as it has been clearly demonstrated under the Subsidisation section (recitals (64)-(73)) that the use of facts available was the only available option for the Commission as investigating authority in order to arrive at a representative finding.
S tem v zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je bilo v oddelku o subvencioniranju (v uvodnih izjavah (64) do (73)) jasno prikazano, da je bila uporaba razpoložljivih dejstev za Komisijo kot preiskovalni organ edina možnost, da pride do reprezentativne ugotovitve.
With respect to the type of information requested it is recalled that the Commission requested information that existed (e.g. information on plans, role of the banks, evaluation of credit risk when granting loans to cooperating exporting producers, pricing of LUR or legal documents referring to the various investigated schemes) and offered the possibility to the GOC to provide such information on numerous occasions following the initiation of these proceedings.
Glede vrst informacij, ki so bile zahtevane, je treba spomniti, da je Komisija zahtevala informacije, ki obstajajo (npr. informacije o načrtih, vlogi bank, oceni kreditnega tveganja pri dodeljevanju posojil sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, določanju cen pravic do uporabe zemljišč ali pravnih dokumentih, ki se nanašajo na različne preiskovane sheme), in je kitajski vladi po začetku postopka ob več priložnostih ponudila možnost, da te informacije zagotovi.
Furthermore, it should also be highlighted that the Commission, as investigating authority, had to investigate allegations made in the complaint and for which sufficient evidence had been provided to initiate an investigation (e.g. use of five-year plans and industrial policies for preferential lending to the coated paper industry, role of the banks as public bodies, existence of direct/indirect tax and grant programmes) and thus the GOC as interested party was requested to provide all the information deemed necessary.
Poleg tega je treba tudi poudariti, da je morala Komisija kot preiskovalni organ preiskati trditve, ki so bile navedene v pritožbi in za katere je bilo predloženih dovolj dokazov za začetek preiskave (npr. uporaba petletnih načrtov in industrijskih politik za preferenčna posojila industriji premazanega papirja, vloga bank kot javnih organov, obstoj neposrednih/posrednih programov za davke in programov subvencioniranja), zato je od kitajske vlade kot zainteresirane strani zahtevala, da zagotovi potrebne informacije.
However, the GOC took a different approach that was tantamount to substituting themselves for the investigating authority.
Vendar je kitajska vlada izbrala drug pristop, ki je bil enak, kot da bi prevzela vlogo preiskovalnega organa.
Indeed, the GOC wanted to judge for itself what they considered relevant and limit their submissions to documents that they considered relevant without allowing the investigating authority to examine these matters.
Dejansko je kitajska vlada želela sama razsoditi, kaj se ji zdi pomembno, in omejiti svoja stališča na dokumente, za katere je menila, da so pomembni, ne da bi pri tem preiskovalnemu organu omogočila, da zadeve preuči.
This is perfectly illustrated by the GOC's approach to state-owned banks (see recital (282) above).
To se jasno odraža v pristopu kitajske vlade do državnih bank (glej uvodno izjavo (282)).
The GOC claimed that such banks were ‘third parties’: however, the complainant had provided sufficient evidence that they are ‘public bodies’ and the Commission was therefore entitled to require the GOC to provide the requested information on their activities.
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da so bile te banke „tretje strani“: vendar je pritožnik priskrbel dovolj dokazov, da so te banke „javni organi“, in Komisija je bila zato upravičena zahtevati od kitajske vlade, da zagotovi zahtevane informacije o njihovih dejavnostih.
In response, the GOC took it upon itself to decide that these banks were not public bodies and to refuse to provide any information on them.
V odgovor se je kitajska vlada sama odločila, da te banke niso javni organi, in o njih ni želela zagotoviti nobenih informacij.
However, this decision belongs to the investigating authority i.e. the Commission and not to the GOC.
Vendar je to stvar odločitve preiskovalnega organa, tj. Komisije, in ne kitajske vlade.
Such behaviour is clearly not in line with the abovementioned WTO case law stating that interested parties must act to the ‘best of their abilities’.
Tako obnašanje očitno ni v skladu z navedeno sodno prakso STO, ki navaja, da morajo zainteresirane strani delovati „po najboljših zmožnostih“.
It is hard to see how it fits with the Appellate Body's conclusion in United States – Anti-Dumping Measures on Certain Hot-Rolled Steel Products from Japan that ‘… cooperation is a process, involving joint effort, whereby parties work together towards a common goal’ [13].
Težko je razumeti, kako naj bi bilo to v skladu s sklepom pritožbenega organa v zadevi Združene države – protidampinški ukrepi na nekatere izdelke vroče valjanega jekla iz Japonske, ki navaja, da je „… sodelovanje proces, ki zahteva skupno prizadevanje, pri katerem strani delajo skupaj v smeri skupnega cilja“ [13].
It also claimed that it is not aware of Plans appearing in independent translations and that it did not provide the National Five Year Plans in the U.S. proceedings.
Trdila je tudi, da ni seznanjena s pojavom načrtov v neodvisnih prevodih in da v ameriških postopkih ni zagotovila nacionalnih petletnih načrtov.
The plans mentioned in recital (65) above that the GOC provided in Chinese amounted to less than 300 pages.
Načrti, navedeni v uvodni izjavi (65), ki jih je kitajska vlada predložila v kitajščini, obsegajo manj kot 300 strani.
The claim of 282000 pages is not confirmed by what the GOC submitted on record.
To, kar je kitajska vlada uradno predložila, ne potrjuje trditve glede 282000 strani.
The claim is nevertheless worrying because it may point to an even much more detailed government intervention than found in the current investigation and in the parallel anti-dumping investigation.
Trditev je kljub temu zaskrbljujoča, saj lahko kaže na še bolj natančno posredovanje vlade, kot je bilo ugotovljeno v sedanji preiskavi in vzporedni protidampinški preiskavi.
With respect to plans appearing in independent translations it is noted that the Commission received such documentation from other interested parties and to the extent that such translated plans were received they were used for the purposes of this investigation.
Glede načrtov, ki se pojavljajo v neodvisnih prevodih, je treba opozoriti, da je Komisija to dokumentacijo prejela od drugih zainteresiranih strani in v takem obsegu, da so bili prejeti prevedeni načrti uporabljeni za namene te preiskave.
Finally, it should be clarified that the Commission did not wish to allege that the GOC had submitted plans to the USA proceedings.
Nazadnje je treba pojasniti, da Komisija ni želela trditi, da je kitajska vlada načrte predložila v postopkih za ZDA.
Recital (66) above only mentions that it appears that translated information exists in this respect.
Uvodna izjava (66) samo navaja, da se zdi, da s tem v zvezi obstajajo prevedene informacije.
ALLEGATIONS WITH RESPECT TO USE OF INFORMATION NOT IDEAL IN ALL RESPECTS
TRDITVE V ZVEZI Z UPORABO INFORMACIJ, KI NISO POPOLNE V VSEH POGLEDIH
The GOC argued that the Commission, before applying best information available, must conduct an analysis as required by Article 28(3) of the basic Regulation and conclude whether the specific conditions set thereon are fulfilled.
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da mora Komisija, preden uporabi najboljše dostopne informacije, izvesti analizo, kot je zahtevana v členu 28(3) osnovne uredbe, in se odločiti, ali so posebni pogoji iz tega člena izpolnjeni.
In this respect it is noted that the Commission resorted to the use of facts available in line with the provisions of Article 28 of the basic Regulation because the specific conditions set out under Article 28(3) were not fulfilled.
S tem v zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je Komisija uporabila razpoložljiva dejstva v skladu z določbami člena 28 osnovne uredbe, ker posebni pogoji iz člena 28(3) niso bili izpolnjeni.
As explained above, the GOC either provided information that was deficient or in many instances it did not even provide requested information.
Kot je bilo razloženo, je kitajska vlada zagotovila informacije, ki niso bile popolne, ali pa v številnih primerih sploh ni zagotovila zahtevanih informacij.
It is recalled that information on plans was either not provided at all or partially provided, information on the role of the banks was incomplete or non-conclusive, evaluation of credit risk by banks when granting loans to cooperating exporting producers was not provided, pricing of LUR was not provided and a number of legal documents referring to certain tax and grant programmes were also not provided.
Spomniti je treba, da informacije o načrtih sploh niso bile predložene ali pa so bile predložene le delno, informacije o vlogi bank so bile nepopolne ali brez dokazne moči, ocena kreditnega tveganja bank pri dodeljevanju posojil sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom ni bila zagotovljena, določanje cen pravic do uporabe zemljišč ni bilo zagotovljeno, prav tako pa tudi niso bili zagotovljeni številni pravni dokumenti, ki se nanašajo na določene programe za davke in programe subvencioniranja.
Account taken of the deficiencies or the non-existence of the information the Commission was not in a position to verify certain information submitted.
Ob upoštevanju pomanjkljivosti ali neobstoja informacij Komisija ni mogla preveriti določenih predloženih informacij.
Given the above, the fact that in these circumstances the GOC could not be considered as acting to the best of its abilities and the undue difficulties in arriving at a reasonably accurate finding, the Commission was forced to resort to the application of facts available.
Glede na navedeno, dejstvo, da se v teh okoliščinah za kitajsko vlado ne more šteti, da je delovala po najboljših zmožnostih, in nepotrebne težave pri določanju zadovoljivo točne ugotovitve je bila Komisija prisiljena uporabiti razpoložljiva dejstva.
The GOC also argued that the Commission should have used as best information available the information already provided by the GOC.
Kitajska vlada je tudi trdila, da bi morala Komisija kot najboljše dostopne informacije uporabiti informacije, ki jih je že zagotovila kitajska vlada.
In this respect it is noted that the Commission used the totality of information provided by interested parties (including whatever information was submitted by the GOC) and found from publicly available sources in order to arrive at a representative finding.
S tem v zvezi je treba opozoriti, da je Komisija, da bi prišla do reprezentativne ugotovitve, uporabila vse informacije, ki so jih zagotovile zainteresirane strani (vključno z informacijami, ki jih je predložila kitajska vlada) in ki jih je pridobila iz javno dostopnih virov.
With respect to loans it was argued that in the absence of information from specific banks in order to evaluate credit risk when providing loans, the Commission should have resorted to the explanations provided by PBOC and the CBRC as well as the Annual Reports of the Commercial Banks.
Glede posojil je kitajska vlada trdila, da bi morala Komisija zaradi pomanjkanja informacij s strani določenih bank za oceno kreditnega tveganja pri dodeljevanju posojil uporabiti informacije, ki sta jih predložili Ljudska banka Kitajske in Komisija bančnih regulatorjev Kitajske, ter letna poročila komercialnih bank.
In this respect it is noted that banks, although explicitly requested to do so, did not provide the necessary data.
S tem v zvezi je treba opozoriti, da banke, čeprav se je to od njih izrecno zahtevalo, niso predložile potrebnih podatkov.
The information provided by PBOC and CBRC was only of a very general nature and was in no way directly linked to the loans provided to the co-operating exporting producers.
Informacije, ki sta jih predložili Ljudska banka Kitajske in Komisija bančnih regulatorjev Kitajske, so bile samo splošne narave in niso bile neposredno povezane s posojili, ki so bila dodeljena sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom.
The GOC placed on file a number of Annual Reports of Commercial Banks (some of which where only in Chinese) and claimed that Commercial Banks make their own decisions regarding their business operations in accordance with law without any interference from unit or individual.
Kitajska vlada je v spis vložila številna letna poročila komercialnih bank (nekatera poročila so bila samo v kitajščini) in trdila, da komercialne banke same sprejemajo odločitve glede svojega poslovanja v skladu z zakonom in brez vmešavanja skupin ali posameznikov.
However, these are simple statements that do not allow to verify whether and how the banks evaluated the credit risk when providing loans to the co-operating exporting producers and must be set against specific instances encountered in the investigations where firms clearly obtained loans with no apparent assessment of their credit risk.
Vendar so to preproste trditve, ki ne omogočajo preverjanja, ali in kako so banke ocenile kreditno tveganje pri dodeljevanju posojil sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, in jih je treba primerjati s posebnimi primeri, ki so se pojavili v preiskavah, v katerih so podjetja očitno pridobila posojila brez očitne ocene njihovega kreditnega tveganja.
