The drop in sales volume was reflected in market share that saw an 11 % decrease for the whole market and 31 % decrease in the free market between 2007 and the IP.
Upad v obsegu prodaje se je odražal v tržnem deležu, pri katerem je bilo mogoče med letom 2007 in OP opaziti 11-odstotno zmanjšanje za celoten trg in 31-odstotno zmanjšanje na prostem trgu.
Again, the captive market followed the opposite trend and saw an increase of 9 % during the same period.
Omejeni trg je zopet sledil ravno obratnemu gibanju, pri čemer se je v istem obdobju obseg prodaje povečal za 9 %.

Total employment remained stable between 2007 and the IP.
Celotna zaposlenost je med letom 2007 in OP ostala stabilna.
It should be noted that production of vinyl acetate is not labour-intensive and employment figures are therefore not closely linked to the production figures.
Treba je opozoriti, da proizvodnja vinilacetata ni delovno intenzivna, zaradi česar podatki o zaposlenosti niso tesno povezani s podatki o proizvodnji.
Employment is therefore not of significant importance as an indicator in this sector.
Zaposlenost zato ni tako pomemben dejavnik v tem sektorju.
During the period considered the total productivity per employee decreased by 8 % between 2007 and the IP.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je skupna produktivnost na zaposlenega med letom 2007 in OP zmanjšala za 8 %.
This followed the decrease in production and the increase in production capacity as explained in the recital (58) et seq.
To je sledilo zmanjšanju proizvodnje in povečanju proizvodne zmogljivosti, kot je obrazloženo v uvodni izjavi (58) in naslednjih uvodnih izjavah.
All margins established were above the de minimis level.
Vse stopnje, ki so bile določene, so bile nad stopnjo de minimis.
Furthermore, given the volumes and the prices of the dumped imports, the impact of the actual margin of dumping cannot be considered as negligible.
Poleg tega ne more učinek dejanske stopnje dampinga glede na obseg in cene dampinškega uvoza nikakor veljati za zanemarljivega.
The analysis of micro-economic indicators (stocks, sales prices, profitability, cash flow, and return on investment, ability to raise capital and investments, production costs) was carried out at the level of the entire Union industry as established in recitals (28) et seq.
Analiza mikroekonomskih kazalcev (zaloge, prodajne cene, dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, donosnost naložb, zmožnost zbiranja kapitala in naložb, proizvodni stroški) je bila opravljena na ravni celotne industrije Unije, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (28) in naslednjih uvodnih izjavah.
From the above indicators, the assessment of profitability, wages, investments, return on investment, cash flow had to be focused on the free market, meaning that it would reflect mainly the data provided by the Complainant.
Ocena dobičkonosnosti, plač, naložb, dobičkonosnosti naložb in denarnega toka na podlagi zgornjih kazalcev se je morala osredotočiti na prosti trg, kar bi pomenilo, da bi se omejili predvsem na podatke, ki jih predložil pritožnik.
Given the aforementioned, the development of the indicators profit and cash-flow, could not be given in index format due to confidentiality reasons.
Glede na navedeno razvoj kazalcev za dobiček in denarni tok ni bilo mogoče prikazati v indeksirani obliki zaradi zaupnosti.
In addition, as explained in recital (56), the complainant could not provide data for 2007 concerning certain injury indicators; therefore, the analysis of those indicators was performed for the period of 2008 to the IP.
Poleg tega pritožnik ni mogel predložiti podatkov za leto 2007 za nekatere kazalce škode, kot je obrazloženo v uvodni izjavi (56), zato je bila analiza za te kazalce narejena za obdobje od leta 2008 do OP.
The figures below represent the evolution of the stocks of the Union industry during each of the period concerned:
Podatki v nadaljevanju predstavljajo razvoj zalog industrije Unije za vsa zadevna obdobja:
Total Stocks
Celotne zaloge
Stocks decreased by 31 % over the period considered.
V obravnavanem obdobju so se zaloge zmanjšale za 31 %.
However, this indicator is not to be considered as relevant in this sector, as vinyl acetate producers produce to order and tend to hold limited stocks.
Vendar se ta kazalec v tem sektorju ne sme šteti za pomembnega, saj proizvajalci vinilacetata proizvajajo po naročilu in imajo navadno omejene zaloge.
In fact, stocks correspond only to a few weeks of supply.
Zaloge namreč zadostujejo le za nekaj tedensko oskrbo.
The following table represents the Union industry's price evolution split between the total, captive and free market.
Razpredelnica v nadaljevanju prikazuje razvoj cen industrije Unije, razdeljene med celoten, omejeni in prosti trg.
Average unit selling price total market
Povprečna prodajna cena na enoto na celotnem trgu
Average unit selling price on captive market
Povprečna prodajna cena na enoto na omejenem trgu
Average unit selling price on free market
Povprečna prodajna cena na enoto na prostem trgu
Sales prices for the total Union market decreased by 16 % in the period considered.
Prodajne cene za celoten trg Unije so se v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za 16 %.
Sales prices fell in both markets, even if the decrease was sharper in the free market (– 23 %) than in the captive market (– 8 %).
Prodajne cene so se znižale na obeh trgih, čeprav je bilo znižanje večje na prostem trgu (– 23 %) kot na omejenem trgu (– 8 %).
Profitability for the like product on the free market was established by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product by the Union industry, as the percentage of the turnover of such sales.
Dobičkonosnost podobnega izdelka na prostem trgu je bila določena tako, da je bil neto dobiček od prodaje podobnega izdelka industrije Unije pred obdavčitvijo izražen kot odstotek prihodkov od takšne prodaje.
The profitability on the free market decreased over the period considered.
Dobičkonosnost na prostem trgu se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala.
During the IP, losses were reported for each month.
Do izgub je prišlo vsak mesec v OP.
This was the effect of a strong decrease both in sales volumes and in sales prices.
To je bil učinek velikega zmanjšanja obsega prodaje in prodajnih cen.
The table below demonstrates that the Union industry has increased its investments in the product concerned, even when faced with decreasing profitability.
Razpredelnica v nadaljevanju kaže, da so se naložbe industrije Unije v zadevni izdelek povečale tudi ob zmanjšanju dobičkonosnosti.
The investments were mainly made in improving and maintaining production technology and process in order to improve efficiency.
Naložbe so bile namenjene predvsem izboljšanju in vzdrževanju proizvodnih tehnologij in postopkov za izboljšanje učinkovitosti.
Total Investments
Celotne naložbe
Investments increased by 27 % over the period under consideration.
V obravnavanem obdobju so se naložbe povečale za 27 %.
Despite the increase in investment, the return on investments (ROI) of the product concerned did not meet the expected return and decreased between 2008 and the IP.
Donosnost naložb (ROI) zadevnega izdelka kljub povečanju naložb ni dosegla pričakovanega donosa in se je zmanjšala med letom 2008 in OP.
A decrease was observed also in cash flow between 2008 and the IP shows a constant deterioration of the ability of the Union industry to generate cash and consequently, a weakening of the financial situation of the Union industry.
Opaziti je bilo tudi zmanjšanje denarnega toka med letom 2008 in OP, kar kaže na stalno poslabšanje sposobnosti industrije Unije, da ustvarja denarna sredstva, in posledično na oslabitev finančnega položaja industrije Unije.
Therefore, by increasing its investments, the industry still showed ability to raise capital; nevertheless, this ability is hampered by falling sales and increasing difficulties in generating cash flow.
Industrija je tako s povečanjem naložb še vedno pokazala zmožnost zbiranja kapitala, vendar to zmožnost ovira zmanjševanje prodaje in vedno večje težave pri ustvarjanju denarnega toka.
The analysis of the situation of the Union industry shows a downwards trend for all the main injury indicators.
Analiza položaja industrije Unije kaže negativno gibanje za vse glavne kazalce škode.
Against a relatively stable consumption, overall production fell by 8 % in the period considered.
Skupna proizvodnja se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 8 % kljub sorazmerno stabilni potrošnji.
During the same period, the Union industry lost 11 % of the overall market share and 33 % of the free market.
V istem obdobju je industrija Unije izgubila 11 % skupnega tržnega deleža in 33 % tržnega deleža na prostem trgu.
Capacity utilisation decreased by 36 %.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti se je zmanjšala za 36 %.
In the same period, imports from the country concerned increased by 48 %.
V istem obdobju se je uvoz iz zadevne države povečal za 48 %.
Over the period under consideration, the overall Union industry's sales volume decreased by 12 %.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je celoten obseg prodaje industrije Unije zmanjšal za 12 %.
A stronger downward trend in sales volumes could be observed when looking at trends related to the free market which saw a 33 % decrease over the period under consideration.
Pri gibanjih, povezanih s prostim trgom, je mogoče opaziti večje negativno gibanje obsega prodaje, saj je v obravnavanem obdobju na prostem trgu prišlo do 33-odstotnega zmanjšanja.
The decrease in sales volumes of Union industry was accompanied by a 16 % overall price depression.
Zmanjšanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije je spremljalo 16-odstotno skupno znižanje cen.
As was the case for sales volume, the situation was even worse in the free market where a price depression of 23 % was recorded.
Enako kot pri obsegu prodaje je tudi tukaj položaj še slabši na prostem trgu, kjer je bila zabeleženo 23-odstotno znižanje cen.
The loss of sales volume along with the decrease in prices had an effect on profit levels and led to losses for each month of the IP.
Izguba obsega prodaje skupaj z znižanjem cen je vplivala na ravni dobička in je vodila do vsakomesečnih izgub v OP.
The only indicators which recorded a positive trend were investments which increased by 27 % and so did the ability to raise capital.
Edina kazalca, pri katerima je bilo zabeleženo pozitivno gibanje, sta naložbe, ki so se povečale za 27 %, in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala.
However, the investments did not meet the expected return and decreased between 2008 and the IP.
Vendar naložbe niso dosegle pričakovanega donosa in so se zmanjšale med letom 2008 in OP.
In view of the above, the investigation confirmed that should the situation continue, losses seen in the course of the investigation would be likely to lead to the discontinuation of any sizeable Union Industry production of vinyl acetate destined for the free market.
Glede na navedeno je preiskava potrdila, da bi ob nadaljevanju razmer izgube, do katerih je prišlo v času preiskave, verjetno pripeljale do prekinitve kakršne koli pomembne proizvodnje vinilacetata industrije Unije, ki je namenjen za prosti trg.
Due to the circumstances presented above, the Union industry has suffered material injury during the IP.
Zaradi navedenih okoliščin je industrija Unije v OP utrpela znatno škodo.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation it was examined whether the material injury suffered by the Union industry has been caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned.
V skladu s členom 3(6) in (7) osnovne uredbe je bilo preučeno, ali je znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povzročil dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države.
Furthermore, known factors other than dumped imports, which might have injured the Union industry, were examined to ensure that any injury caused by those factors was not attributed to dumped imports.
Poleg tega so se preučili tudi znani dejavniki, razen dampinškega uvoza, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, da bi se zagotovilo, da se morebitna škoda, ki bi jo ti dejavniki povzročili, ne bi pripisala dampinškemu uvozu.
Impact of the imports from the USA
Učinek uvoza iz ZDA
There is a clear coincidence in time between the increase of dumped imports between 2007 and the IP, along with a parallel loss of market share by the Union industry over the same period.
Povečanje tržnega deleža dampinškega uvoza med letom 2007 in OP jasno sovpada z izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Unije v istem obdobju.
The investigation has also established the existence of negative price effects of dumped imports which continuously undercut prices of Union industries and consequently pushed down their profitability.
V preiskavi je bil ugotovljen tudi obstoj negativnih učinkov cen dampinškega uvoza, ki stalno nelojalno nižajo prodajne cene industrije Unije in posledično zmanjšajo njeno dobičkonosnost.
Some parties claimed that the increase in imports was simply replacing the imports previously made by other importing countries and/or due to the increasing demand on the EU market.
Nekatere strani so trdile, da je ta povečan uvoz preprosto nadomestil uvoz, ki so ga prej opravljale druge države uvoznice, in/ali da je posledica vedno večjega povpraševanja na trgu EU.
However, neither the import figures (see table 2), nor the consumption figures (see table 1) can confirm this claim, In this context it is recalled as seen in recital (43), that consumption was rather stable and even decreased slightly in the period considered while the imports from the USA increased by 48 %.
Vendar ne podatki o uvozu (glej razpredelnico 2) ne podatki o potrošnji (glej razpredelnico 1) ne morejo potrditi te trditve. Pri tem je treba opozoriti, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (43), da je bila potrošnja precej stabilna in se je v obravnavanem obdobju celo rahlo zmanjšala, medtem ko se je uvoz iz ZDA povečal za 48 %.
Impact of imports from other third countries
Učinek uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav
Impact of imports from Saudi Arabia
Učinek uvoza iz Saudove Arabije
Some interested parties have claimed that imports of VAM from Saudi Arabia are the cause of the injury of the Union industry.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je uvoz VAM iz Saudove Arabije povzročil škodo industrije Unije.
Saudi Arabia is indeed, as stated in recital (53) above, the second largest exporter of VAM to the Union after the USA.
Saudova Arabija je namreč, kot navedeno v uvodni izjavi (53), po ZDA druga največja izvoznica VAM v Unijo.
Imports from Saudi Arabia entered the market only during the IP.
Uvoz iz Saudove Arabije je vstopil na trg šele v OP.
Eurostat figures presented in table 11 below show the prices of imports from Saudi Arabia and other third countries.
Eurostatovi podatki, ki so navedeni v razpredelnici 11 v nadaljevanju, prikazujejo cene uvoza iz Saudove Arabije in drugih tretjih držav.
Sales price of exports from other third countries
Prodajne cene izvoza iz drugih tretjih držav

Indeks OP = 100
The table shows that the average price of imports from Saudi Arabia at 636 EUR was comparable with those of imports from other third countries which were on average 633 EUR, while they were 11 % higher than the average US price of 573 EUR.
Razpredelnica prikazuje, da je bila povprečna cena uvoza iz Saudove Arabije, ki je znašala 636 EUR, primerljiva s cenami uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav, ki so povprečno znašale 633 EUR, medtem ko so bile za 11 % višje kot povprečna cena v ZDA, ki je znašala 573 EUR.
The fact that the Saudis are operating in the same price segment as other importers with a significant price differential in comparison to US exports shows that the Saudi exporting producers behave differently from the US in terms of the price setting and in terms of the possible impact on the Union producers.
Dejstvo, da je uvoz iz Saudove Arabije v istem cenovnem segmentu kot uvoz drugih uvoznikov, ki se občutno razlikuje od cen izvoza iz ZDA, kaže, da se proizvajalci izvozniki iz Saudove Arabije pri določanju cen in glede možnega učinka proizvajalcev Unije obnašajo drugače kot ZDA.
On these grounds, it can be provisionally concluded that imports from Saudi Arabia do not break the causal link between dumped imports from the USA and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Glede na navedeno se lahko začasno sklene, da uvoz iz Saudove Arabije ni pretrgal vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz ZDA in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Some interested parties claimed that the decrease in production and sales volume of the Union industry should be attributed to the decreasing consumption.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je zmanjšanje proizvodnje in obsega prodaje industrije Unije treba pripisati vedno manjši potrošnji.
These parties also claimed that the downward trend in average sales prices was caused by the world wide economic crisis.
Te strani so prav tako trdile, da je negativno gibanje prodajnih cen povzročila svetovna gospodarska kriza.
Other interested parties claimed that during the economic crisis, all petro-chemical producers, including VAM producers, suffered serious losses and that therefore the losses suffered by the Union industry should not be attributed to the dumped imports from the country concerned.
Druge zainteresirane strani so trdile, da so vsi proizvajalci v petrokemičnem sektorju, vključno s proizvajalci VAM, med gospodarsko krizo utrpeli velike izgube in se zato izgube, ki jih je utrpela industrija Unije, ne sme pripisati dampinškemu uvozu iz zadevne države.
However, the present investigation, as mentioned in recitals (41) to (43) showed that the decrease of Union consumption on the free market was negligible during the period considered.
Vendar je ta preiskava, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah (41) do (43), pokazala, da je bilo v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije na prostem trgu zanemarljivo.
Therefore, the impact of the economic crisis in terms of a decrease in consumption could not have been responsible for the steep decrease in sales volume as shown in recitals (62) to (64).
Zato učinek gospodarske krize glede zmanjšanja potrošnje ni mogel biti vzrok za močno zmanjšanje obsega prodaje, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah (62) do (64).
The analysis of the profitability figures of the free market of Union industry has revealed that the VAM business suffered particular losses when compared to other similar chemical products manufactured.
Analiza podatkov o dobičkonosnosti prostega trga industrije Unije je razkrila, da je poslovanje z VAM v primerjavi z drugimi podobnimi proizvedenimi kemijskimi izdelki utrpelo posebne izgube.
Moreover, the profitability of these other products recovered after the crisis, whereas the VAM business has continued to deteriorate.
Poleg tega se je dobičkonosnost teh drugih izdelkov po krizi izboljšala, medtem ko se je poslovanje z VAM še naprej poslabševalo.
This leads to the provisional conclusion that while the VAM business was most likely to be affected by the economic crisis, it should be distinguished from other petro-chemical sectors, because of persistent losses suffered by the Complainant that continued post-crisis which was directly linked to low priced imports from the USA.
To vodi do začasnega sklepa, da, čeprav je na poslovanje z VAM najverjetneje vplivala gospodarska kriza, je treba ta sektor razlikovati od drugih petrokemičnih sektorjev zaradi stalnih izgub, ki jih je utrpel pritožnik in so se nadaljevale po krizi, kar je bilo neposredno povezano s poceni uvozom iz ZDA.
The claim is therefore provisionally rejected.
Trditev je zato začasno zavrnjena.
In the light of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the economic crisis has not contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry to the extent that it would break the causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from the USA.
Glede na navedeno se začasno sklene, da gospodarska kriza ni prispevala k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, do takšne mere, da bi prekinila vzorčno zvezo med škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in dampinškim uvozom iz ZDA.
Several interested parties claimed that the Complainant had contributed to its precarious situation by building additional production capacity during the recession.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je pritožnik prispeval k svojemu negotovemu položaju z gradnjo dodatnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti med recesijo.
It was alleged that any decrease in sales and profit therefore was caused by the combination of the recession and poor business decision on behalf of the Complainant
Trdile so, da sta zmanjšanje prodaje in dobička povzročila recesija in pritožnikove slabe poslovne odločitve.
Several interested parties have furthermore claimed that the technology used in the Complainant's plant is the main cause of injury.
Več zainteresiranih strani je v nadaljevanju trdilo, da je glavni vzrok škode tehnologija, ki jo pritožnik uporablja v svojem obratu.
Over the period considered, the Complainant has suffered several outages and force majeure situations and it was claimed that the decrease in the Complainant's sales should be attributed to the numerous stoppages and not to the dumped imports from the USA.
V obravnavanem obdobju je pritožnik utrpel številne izpade proizvodnje in primere višje sile in trdili so, da je zmanjšanje pritožnikove prodaje treba pripisati številnim prekinitvam in ne dampinškemu uvozu iz ZDA.
Similar arguments were raised in relation to the Complainant's profitability.
Podobni argumenti so bili podani v zvezi z pritožnikovo dobičkonosnostjo.
As for the claim that the Complainant should not have expanded the production capacity during the world economic downturn, it is recalled that the Complainant did not procure any new capacity but simply expanded its production capacity through the optimisation of existing processes.
Glede trditve, da pritožnik ne bi smel razširiti svoje proizvodne zmogljivosti v času svetovnega upada gospodarske rasti, je treba opozoriti, da pritožnik ni nabavil nobenih novih zmogljivosti, temveč je preprosto razširil svojo proizvodno zmogljivost z optimizacijo obstoječih postopkov.
This must be considered a reasonable business decision in a market where total consumption is stable but sales are falling because of the competition of low priced imports.
Na trgu, kjer je celotna potrošnja stabilna, prodaja pa se zmanjšuje zaradi konkurenčnosti poceni uvoza, je treba to šteti za razumno poslovno odločitev.
This claim is therefore provisionally rejected.
Ta trditev je zato začasno zavrnjena.
As concerns the claim that it was outages caused by technical problems with the complainant that led to the injury suffered by the complainant, the investigation showed that the production process for VAM requires a cyclic maintenance and closure of the plant at regular, planned intervals.
Glede trditve, da so izpadi proizvodnje, ki so nastali zaradi tehničnih težav pri pritožniku, vodili do škode, ki jo je utrpel pritožnik, je preiskava pokazala, da proizvodni postopek za VAM zahteva ciklično vzdrževanje in zaprtje obrata v rednih, načrtovanih časovnih presledkih.
Therefore, three out of five stoppages must be considered as part of the regular running of a VAM plant.
Zato je treba tri od petih prekinitev šteti za del rednega delovanja obrata VAM.
Furthermore, it was found that all three planned outages were based on conscious decisions by the Complainant to stop production at times when price pressure caused by dumped imports was so strong that the Complainant was not in the position to deliver at sustainable price levels.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da so vsi trije načrtovani izpadi temeljili na zavedni odločitvi pritožnika, da ustavi proizvodnjo v času, ko je bil pritisk na cene dampinškega uvoza tako velik, da pritožnik ni bil več v položaju, ko bi lahko dobavljal na ravni trajnostnih cen.
