By increasing its investments in order to improve its production processes the industry, which is capital intensive, still showed an ability to raise capital; nevertheless, this ability is hampered by falling sales and increasing difficulties in generating cash flow.
S povečanjem svojih naložb za izboljšanje proizvodnih postopkov je industrija, ki je kapitalsko intenzivna, še vedno kazala zmožnost zbiranja kapitala; vendar je ta zmožnost ovirana zaradi zmanjševanja prodaje in vedno večjih težav pri ustvarjanju denarnega toka.
Return on Investment (ROI)
Donosnost naložb
Despite the increase in investment, the ROI of the product concerned did not meet the expected return.
Donosnost naložb zadevnega izdelka kljub povečanju naložb ni dosegla pričakovanega donosa.
Although there has been some improvement in 2008, ROI remained negative during the period considered.
Čeprav se je leta 2008 stanje nekoliko izboljšalo, je donosnost naložb v obravnavanem obdobju ostala negativna.
Therefore the industry’s growth is limited and clearly disproportionate to the investments made over recent years.
Zato je rast industrije omejena in očitno nesorazmerna z naložbami, izvedenimi v zadnjih letih.
The investigation has shown that some injury indicators show a positive trend: production volume increased by 6 %, capacity utilisation increased by 38 %, investment increased by 177 %, allowing the company to achieve a somewhat relative profit (from a significant loss in 2007 to a small profit in the IP).
Preiskava je pokazala, da nekateri škodni kazalniki kažejo na pozitiven trend: obseg proizvodnje se je povečal za 6 %, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti za 38 % in naložbe za 177 %, zato je družba lahko ustvarila dokaj sorazmeren dobiček (od znatne izgube leta 2007 do majhnega dobička v OP).
However, as shown above, a number of indicators pertaining to the economic situation of the Union industry deteriorated significantly during the period considered.
Vendar so se v obravnavanem obdobju številni kazalniki gospodarskega položaja industrije precej poslabšali, kot je prikazano zgoraj.
Following the closure of the production facility of one Union producer, sales volume decreased by 14 %.
Po zaprtju proizvodnega obrata enega proizvajalca Unije se je obseg prodaje zmanjšal za 14 %.
Employment had to be reduced by 4 % and production capacity decreased by 23 %.
Zaposlenost je bilo treba zmanjšati za 4 %, proizvodna zmogljivost pa se je zmanjšala za 23 %.
While consumption decreased by only 5 %, market share decreased by almost 9 %.
Medtem ko se je potrošnja zmanjšala le za 5 %, se je tržni delež zmanjšal za skoraj 9 %.
Hence profitability was low, affecting negatively returns on investments and cash flow, especially between 2008 and the IP.
Zato je bila dobičkonosnost nizka in je negativno vplivala na donosnost naložb in denarni tok, zlasti med letom 2008 in OP.
The profitability level improved during the period concerned but remained very low in the IP and is insufficient to maintain production in the medium term.
Stopnja dobičkonosnosti se je v obravnavanem obdobju izboljšala, vendar je v OP ostala zelo nizka in ne zadostuje za srednjeročno ohranitev proizvodnje.
Even though overall production grew, the Union industry lost significant market share.
Čeprav se je celotna proizvodnja povečala, je industrija Unije izgubila znaten tržni delež.
At the same time, dumped imports from the countries concerned showed a significant increase.
Hkrati se je znatno povečal dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav.
Considering the above, it is provisionally concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury during the IP within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Glede na navedeno se začasno ugotovi, da je industrija Unije v OP utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
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 countries 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 zadevnih držav.
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 bili preučeni 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.
The Union consumption of oxalic acid decreased by 5 % over the period considered, while dumped imports from the countries concerned increased by more than 4 % over this period.
Potrošnja oksalne kisline v Uniji se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 5 %, dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav pa se je v tem obdobju povečal za več kot 4 %.
The highest increase in dumped imports took place between 2007 and 2008, when they increased by 54 %.
Najvišje povečanje dampinškega uvoza je bilo med letoma 2007 in 2008, ko se je povečal za 54 %.
Imports from the countries concerned increased their market share by 25 % between 2007 and 2008, which coincided with a decrease of 21 % in the market share of the Union industry during that period.
Tržni delež uvoza iz zadevnih držav se je med letoma 2007 in 2008 povečal za 25 %, kar je sovpadalo z 21-odstotnim zmanjšanjem tržnega deleža industrije Unije v navedenem obdobju.
While average import prices increased by 16 % over the period considered, import prices undercut those of the cooperating Union producer by an average of 21,9 % during the IP, thereby exerting price pressure on the Union industry and preventing the cooperating Union producer from raising prices to more profitable levels.
Medtem ko so se povprečne uvozne cene v obravnavanem obdobju zvišale za 16 %, so uvozne cene v OP v povprečju nelojalno znižale prodajne cene sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije za 21,9 %, s čimer so izvajale pritisk na cene industrije Unije, sodelujočemu proizvajalcu Unije pa preprečevale dvig cen na bolj dobičkonosno raven.
It is recalled that the Union industry faced a significant drop in its sales volume (– 14 %).
Opozoriti je treba, da je industrija Unije zabeležila znaten upad obsega prodaje (–14 %).
However, this decrease in sales was much more pronounced than the fall in demand and led to a loss of market share of 9 %.
Vendar je bilo to zmanjšanje prodaje veliko izrazitejše kakor upad povpraševanja, pri čemer je vodilo v izgubo tržnega deleža za 9 %.
At the same time, the market share of the countries concerned increased by 10 %.
Hkrati se je tržni delež zadevnih držav povečal za 10 %.
This shows that the Union industry’s market share has largely been taken over by the dumped imports from the countries concerned.
To kaže, da je tržni delež industrije Unije prevzel predvsem dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav.
It is therefore considered that the continued pressure exerted by the low-priced dumped imports from the countries concerned on the Union market did not allow the Union to adapt its sales prices to the increased raw material and energy costs.
Zato se šteje, da Unija zaradi stalnega pritiska, ki ga je nizkocenovni dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav izvajal na trg Unije, ni mogla prilagoditi svojih prodajnih cen višjim stroškom surovin in energije.
This led to the loss of market share and a continuously poor profitability situation for the Union industry.
To je povzročilo izgubo tržnega deleža in stalno zmanjševanje dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije.
In view of the above, it was provisionally concluded that the surge in the low-priced dumped imports from the countries concerned had a considerable negative impact on the economic situation of the Union industry.
Glede na navedeno je bilo začasno ugotovljeno, da je nenadno povečanje nizkocenovnega dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav znatno negativno vplivalo na gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
The other factors which were examined in the context of the causality are the development of demand on the Union market, the prices of raw material, the export performance of the Union industry, the imports from other countries of the product concerned and the industry’s captive use of oxalic acid and the economic crisis.
Drugi dejavniki, ki so bili preučeni v okviru vzročnosti, so razvoj povpraševanja na trgu Unije, cene surovin, izvoz industrije Unije, uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz drugih držav, lastna uporaba oksalne kisline s strani industrije in gospodarska kriza.
Development of demand on the Union market
Razvoj povpraševanja na trgu Unije
As indicated in Table 1 above, the Union consumption of oxalic acid first increased by 24 % in 2008, while it decreased by 39 % during the following year to increase again during the IP.
Kot je prikazano v tabeli 1, se je potrošnja oksalne kisline v Uniji leta 2008 najprej povečala za 24 %, nato se je naslednje leto zmanjšala za 39 %, v OP pa se je ponovno povečala.
Overall, the consumption in the EU market decreased by 5 % during the period considered.
Skupno se je potrošnja na trgu EU v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 5 %.
During the same period the Union industry lost market share.
V istem obdobju je industrija Unije izgubila tržni delež.
Although the investigation revealed that imports from the countries concerned were also affected by the fall in demand on the Union market in 2009, it is noteworthy that, over the period considered, the exporters in the countries concerned managed to increase their sales volumes and market share through the price pressure exerted on the market by the dumped imports.
Čeprav je bilo v okviru preiskave ugotovljeno, da je upad povpraševanja na trgu Unije leta 2009 vplival tudi na uvoz iz zadevnih držav, je treba opozoriti, da je izvoznikom v zadevnih državah v obravnavanem obdobju uspelo povečati svoj obseg prodaje in tržni delež zaradi pritiska na cene, ki ga je dampinški uvoz izvajal na trg.
Accordingly, it is provisionally considered that the deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry is caused mainly by the surge in the dumped imports from the countries concerned and the undercutting practised by exporters in the countries concerned and not by decreasing consumption.
V skladu s tem se začasno šteje, da sta bila razlog za poslabšanje gospodarskega položaja industrije Unije zlasti nenadno povečanje dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav in nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen, ki so ga izvajali izvozniki v zadevnih državah, ne pa zmanjšanje potrošnje.
Prices of the main raw material
Cene glavnih surovin
As shown in Table 8 above, the average cost of production remained relatively stable despite a sharp increase in the cost of the main raw material (sugar).
Kot je prikazano v tabeli 8, so povprečni stroški proizvodnje ostali sorazmerno stabilni kljub občutnemu povečanju stroškov glavnih surovin (sladkorja).
Indeed, the investigation showed that the cost of production of the cooperating Union producer did not follow the same trend as the evolution of the prices of one of the main raw materials in the production of oxalic acid.
Preiskava je dejansko pokazala, da stroški proizvodnje sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije niso sledili podobnemu trendu kot razvoj cen ene od glavnih surovin v proizvodnji oksalne kisline.
The sharp increase of average sugar prices by 50 % over the period considered has been mitigated by the investments made by the cooperating Union producer to improve its production processes.
Občutno povečanje povprečnih cen sladkorja za 50 % v obravnavanem obdobju so ublažile naložbe sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije v izboljšanje proizvodnih postopkov.
Overall, therefore, the net effect was a decrease of 12 % in the cost of production.
Zato je skupni neto učinek pomenil zmanjšanje stroškov proizvodnje za 12 %.
Nonetheless, as shown in Table 7 above, unit sales price increased by 31 % during the period considered.
Kljub temu so se prodajne cene na enoto v obravnavanem obdobju, kot je prikazano v tabeli 7, zvišale za 31 %.
It was found that the exporters in the countries concerned were subject to the same economic conditions with regard to the evolution of prices of raw materials, as unit import prices followed the same trend as the unit sales prices of the cooperating Union producer, albeit at lower levels.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so za izvoznike v zadevnih državah veljali enaki gospodarski pogoji, kar zadeva razvoj cen surovin, saj so uvozne cene na enoto sledile enakemu trendu kot prodajne cene na enoto sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije, vendar na nižji ravni.
In the absence of injurious dumping it could be expected that prices would have been regularly adapted to reflect the development of the various components of the cost of production.
Brez škodljivega dampinga bi se lahko pričakovalo, da bi se cene redno prilagajale tako, da bi se upošteval razvoj različnih elementov stroškov proizvodnje.
However, this did not happen.
Vendar se to ni zgodilo.
The cooperating Union producer was not able to achieve the solid profit margins necessary for this capital-intensive producer and its cash flow also decreased.
Sodelujoči proizvajalec Unije ni mogel doseči dobrih stopenj dobička, potrebnih za tega kapitalsko intenzivnega proizvajalca, pri čemer se je zmanjšal tudi njegov denarni tok.
Accordingly, it is provisionally considered that the dumped imports from the countries concerned, which undercut the cooperating Union producer’s prices, depressed the prices on the Union market and prevented the cooperating Union producer from increasing its sales prices to cover its costs or to achieve a reasonable level of profitability.
V skladu s tem se začasno šteje, da je dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav, ki je nelojalno znižal prodajne cene sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije, znižal cene na trgu Unije in sodelujočemu proizvajalcu Unije preprečil dvig prodajnih cen, da bi pokril stroške ali dosegel razumno dobičkonosnost.
Given that the raw material prices were also affecting the exporters in the countries concerned, it was provisionally concluded that the increase in the prices of raw materials could not have had an impact on the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the period considered.
Glede na to, da so cene surovin vplivale tudi na izvoznike v zadevnih državah, je bilo začasno ugotovljeno, da zvišanje cen surovin ni moglo vplivati na znatno škodo, ki jo je industrija Unije utrpela v obravnavanem obdobju.

Povprečna izvozna cena
Export performance was also examined as one of the known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Union industry, to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Preučen je bil tudi izvoz proizvajalcev Unije kot eden od drugih znanih dejavnikov razen dampinškega uvoza, ki bi lahko hkrati povzročili škodo industriji Unije, da bi se zagotovilo, da morebitna škoda, ki bi jo povzročili ti drugi dejavniki, ne bi bila pripisana dampinškemu uvozu.
The analysis showed that the export sales to unrelated parties made by the cooperating Union producer represented an important part of their total sales (around 30 %).
Analiza je pokazala, da je izvoz sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije nepovezanim strankam predstavljal pomemben del njegove celotne prodaje (približno 30 %).
During the period considered, the export volumes of the cooperating Union producer increased by 52 %, while the unit price of export sales decreased considerably, in contrast with the sales price of the cooperating Union producer within the Union, which increased significantly.
Obseg izvoza sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 52 %, medtem ko se je cena izvoza na enoto znatno znižala v nasprotju s prodajno ceno sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije znotraj Unije, ki se je znatno zvišala.
The investigation revealed that exports played an important role in keeping capacity utilisation high to cover the fixed costs and costs of investments in machinery.
V okviru preiskave je bilo ugotovljeno, da je imel izvoz pomembno vlogo pri ohranjanju visoke izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti za kritje fiksnih stroškov in stroškov naložb v stroje.
Even though export sales were made at prices lower than those on the Union market, these low prices resulted from competition with low-priced oxalic acid in the export markets by the exporters from the countries concerned.
Čeprav je bil izvoz izveden po cenah, ki so bile nižje od cen na trgu Unije, so bile te nizke cene posledica konkurence z nizkocenovno oksalno kislino na izvoznih trgih s strani izvoznikov iz zadevnih držav.
The investigation showed that these exports allowed the cooperating Union producer to mitigate the injury suffered on the EU market and are thus not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the countries concerned and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je ta izvoz sodelujočemu proizvajalcu Unije omogočil, da ublaži škodo, ki jo je utrpel na trgu EU, in zato ni tak, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo, ki je bila ugotovljena med dampinškim uvozom iz zadevnih držav in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
In the absence of any imports from countries other than the countries concerned, this element had no impact on the EU market.
Ker iz drugih držav, razen zadevnih, ni bilo nobenega uvoza, ta element ni vplival na trg EU.
As mentioned in recitals 52 to 55 above, captive use is limited to captive transfers within one of the Union producers, where oxalic acid is transformed into oxalates within the company.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 52 do 55, je lastna uporaba omejena na lastne prenose znotraj enega od proizvajalcev Unije, pri čemer se oksalna kislina znotraj družbe pretvarja v oksalate.
The profits made by selling oxalates are considerable and actually allowed the producer to continue its activities despite the losses on oxalic acid.
Dobiček, ki je bil ustvarjen s prodajo oksalatov, je znaten in je dejansko omogočil proizvajalcu, da nadaljuje s svojimi dejavnostmi kljub izgubam z oksalno kislino.
Therefore this element does not contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato ta element ne prispeva k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
In 2009 the Union consumption of oxalic acid halved compared to 2008 due to the economic crisis, contributing to a loss in sales volume (– 40 %) and value (– 45 %) for the Union industry.
Leta 2009 se je potrošnja oksalne kisline v Uniji v primerjavi z letom 2008 zaradi gospodarske krize zmanjšala za polovico, kar je povzročilo izgubo obsega (– 40 %) in vrednosti prodaje (– 45 %) industrije Unije.
However, by reducing prices in this period by around 5 % the industry was able to gain market share (11 %) and so minimise the negative effects of the crisis.
Vendar je industrija z znižanjem cen v tem obdobju za približno 5 % lahko pridobila tržni delež (11 %) in tako zmanjšala negativne učinke krize.
Indeed, the industry was close to breakeven in 2009.
Industrija je bila leta 2009 dejansko blizu pragu dobička.
Although the economic crisis in 2008-2009 might have contributed to the Union industry’s poor performance, overall, this could not be considered to have an impact such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of the Union industry.
Čeprav je gospodarska kriza v obdobju 2008–2009 morda prispevala k slabi uspešnosti industrije Unije, na splošno ni mogla imeti takega učinka, da bi prekinila vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in stanjem škode industrije Unije.
The above analysis demonstrated that there was an increase in the sales volume and market share of the countries concerned over the period considered.
Navedena analiza je pokazala, da sta se obseg prodaje in tržni delež zadevnih držav v obravnavanem obdobju povečala.
In addition, it was found that these imports were made at dumped prices which were significantly — almost 22 % — below the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market for the product concerned during the IP.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bil ta uvoz izveden po dampinških cenah, ki so bile v OP znatno nižje, tj. za skoraj 22 %, od cen, ki jih je industrija Unije zaračunavala na trgu Unije za zadevni izdelek.
This increase in volume and market share of the low-priced dumped imports from the countries concerned was achieved despite an overall decrease in demand on the Union market during the period considered.
To povečanje obsega in tržnega deleža nizkocenovnega dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav je bilo doseženo kljub splošnemu zmanjšanju povpraševanja na trgu Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
The growing market share of the imports coincided with the negative development in the market share of the Union industry during the same period.
Povečanje tržnega deleža uvoza je sovpadalo z negativnim razvojem tržnega deleža industrije Unije v istem obdobju.
At the same time a negative development in the main indicators of the economic and financial situation of the Union industry were observed as shown above.
Hkrati je bilo opaziti negativen razvoj glavnih kazalnikov gospodarskega in finančnega položaja industrije Unije, kot je navedeno zgoraj.
The fall in consumption on the Union market in 2009 affected negatively the performance of the Union industry.
Upad potrošnje na trgu Unije leta 2009 je negativno vplival na uspešnost industrije Unije.
However, overall, this and the other factors could not be considered to have an impact such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of the Union industry.
Vendar to skupaj z drugimi dejavniki ni moglo imeti takega učinka, da bi prekinilo vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in stanjem škode industrije Unije.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the countries concerned have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi navedene analize, ki je ustrezno razlikovala in ločila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza, se začasno sklene, da je uvoz iz zadevnih držav povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation it was examined whether, despite the provisional conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt provisional anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je bilo preučeno, ali so kljub začasnemu sklepu o škodljivem dampingu obstajali utemeljeni razlogi, zaradi katerih bi bilo mogoče sklepati, da sprejetje začasnih protidampinških ukrepov v tem primeru ni bilo v interesu Unije.
The Union industry consists of two producers, with factories located in different Member States of the Union, employing directly 30-50 people in the production and sale of the like product.
Industrijo Unije sestavljata dva proizvajalca s tovarnami v različnih državah članicah Unije, ki pri proizvodnji in prodaji podobnega izdelka neposredno zaposlujeta 30 do 50 ljudi.
One of the two Union producers did not object to the initiation of the investigation, but provided no further information and did not cooperate during the investigation.
Eden od proizvajalcev Unije ni nasprotoval začetku preiskave, vendar ni zagotovil nadaljnjih informacij in ni sodeloval v preiskavi.
The Union industry has suffered material injury caused by the dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Industrija Unije je utrpela znatno škodo zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
It is recalled that most relevant injury indicators showed a negative trend during the period considered.
Opozoriti je treba, da je večina pomembnih kazalnikov škode kazala na negativen trend v obravnavanem obdobju.
