The arguments provided were analyzed in line with the submitted documentation and evidence provided by parties.
Predloženi argumenti so bili analizirani v skladu s predloženo dokumentacijo in dokazi, ki so jih zagotovile strani.
The GOC was requested to confirm the aforesaid information.
Od kitajske vlade je bilo zahtevano, da potrdi prej navedene informacije.
The GOC, an interested party in these proceedings and the granting authority for this programme, notify the Commission that this scheme was withdrawn and was not replaced by any other incentive referring to the same tax obligation.
Kitajska vlada, ki je v tem postopku zainteresirana stran in organ, ki dodeljuje subvencije, je Evropsko komisijo obvestila, da je bila ta shema ukinjena in ni bila nadomeščena s katero drugo spodbudo, ki bi se nanašala na isto obveznost plačevanja davkov.
On the basis of information submitted by cooperating exporting producers it is concluded that both groups have demonstrated that they are no longer benefiting from any subsidy derived from this scheme.
Na podlagi informacij, ki so jih predložili sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki, se sklene, da sta obe skupini dokazali, da nimata več koristi od katere koli subvencije iz te sheme.
In this respect it is recalled that in line with Article 15 of the basic Regulation no measures shall be imposed if the subsidy is withdrawn or it has been demonstrated that the subsidy no longer confers any benefit on the exporters involved.
S tem v zvezi je treba spomniti, da se v skladu s členom 15 osnovne uredbe ne uvedejo nobeni ukrepi, če je subvencija ukinjena ali če je dokazano, da subvencija zadevnim izvoznikom ne prinaša več ugodnosti.
Accordingly and on the basis of information on file it is concluded that the subsidy under this scheme no longer confers any benefit to the exporters involved.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenega in informacij v spisu se sklene, da subvencija iz te sheme ne prinaša več nobenih ugodnosti zadevnim izvoznikom.
Thus the findings presented under recitals (160) to (169) above were amended accordingly.
Zato so bile ugotovitve, predstavljene v uvodnih izjavah (160) do (169), ustrezno spremenjene.
FAMOUS BRANDS AND SPECIAL FUNDS FOR ENCOURAGING FOREIGN INVESTMENT PROJECTS
ZNANE ZNAMKE IN POSEBNI SKLADI ZA SPODBUJANJE PROJEKTOV TUJIH NALOŽB
With respect to these schemes the GOC submitted that the Commission failed to establish specificity on the basis of positive evidence.
Glede teh shem je kitajska vlada navedla, da Komisija ni ugotovila specifičnosti na podlagi trdnih dokazov.
It was argued that the GOC provided sufficient information with respect to these schemes and that there is no law or regulation concerning these schemes.
Trdila je, da je v zvezi s temi shemami predložila zadostne informacije in da se noben zakon ali uredba ne nanaša na te sheme.
In this respect it is recalled that these schemes were found specific and countervailable on the basis of information submitted by the GOC and the cooperating exporting producers notwithstanding the fact that no actual legal provisions were submitted.
S tem v zvezi je treba spomniti, da je bilo na podlagi informacij, ki so jih kitajska vlada in sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki predložili za te sheme, ugotovljeno, da so specifične in da se zanje lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, kljub temu, da niso bile predložene nobene dejanske zakonske določbe.
The fact that, as the GOC argued, there are no legal provisions for these schemes confirms beyond any doubt that objective criteria or conditions set by the law governing these schemes simply do not exist.
Dejstvo, da za te sheme ni zakonskih določb, kot je trdila kitajska vlada, nedvomno potrjuje, da ni nobenih objektivnih meril ali pogojev, določenih z zakonodajo, ki ureja te sheme.
Thus the findings of the Commission were established, by using the submitted information and the provisions of Article 28 of basic Regulation, on positive evidence in line with the provisions of Article 2(1)(b) of the SCM Agreement and Article 4(2)(b) of the basic Regulation.
Zato so bile ugotovitve Komisije, z uporabo predloženih informacij in določb člena 28 osnovne uredbe, vzpostavljene na podlagi trdnih dokazov v skladu z določbami člena 2(1)(b) Sporazuma SIU in člena 4(2)(b) osnovne uredbe.
In the absence of any criteria or conditions, the government appears to have wide discretion and access to the subsidy is considered to be limited to certain enterprises.
Zaradi pomanjkanja kakršnih koli meril ali pogojev ima vlada očitno široko diskrecijsko pravico, za dostop do subvencij pa se šteje, da je omejen na določena podjetja.
SUBSIDY OF HIGH-TECH INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT FUND AND AWARD RECEIVED FROM SUZHOU INDUSTRIAL PARK FOR MAINTAINING GROWTH
SUBVENCIJA SKLADA ZA VISOKOTEHNOLOŠKI INDUSTRIJSKI RAZVOJ IN SUBVENCIJA INDUSTRIJSKEGA PARKA SUZHOU ZA OHRANJANJE RASTI
With respect to these schemes the GOC argued that the Commission misinterpreted Article 2(2) of the SCM Agreement since Industrial Parks are not designated geographical regions.
V zvezi s tema shemama je kitajska vlada trdila, da si je Komisija napačno razlagala člen 2(2) Sporazuma SIU, saj industrijski parki niso določene geografske regije.
In this respect it is recalled that the Suzhou Industrial Park is clearly an economic and administrative subdivision within the jurisdiction of the PRC and thus a designated geographical region in line with the provisions of Article 2(2) of the SCM Agreement.
S tem v zvezi je treba spomniti, da je industrijski park Suzhou očitno gospodarska in upravna podenota v pristojnosti LRK in zato določena geografska regija v skladu z določbami člena 2(2) Sporazuma SIU.
Notwithstanding the above, it should also be noted that even if the above were not confirmed by the actual facts of the investigation, an industrial park by its very definition can only host a sub-set of enterprises within the territory of a country or the granting authority and thus in line with the provisions of Article 2(1)(a) of the SCM Agreement the subsidies provided by the industrial park would be considered as specific.
Ne glede na navedeno je treba tudi opozoriti, da četudi konkretna dejstva preiskave ne bi potrdila zgoraj navedenega, lahko industrijski park v skladu s samo opredelitvijo gosti samo podmnožico družb na ozemlju države ali organa, ki dodeljuje subvencije, in zato bi se subvencije industrijskega parka v skladu z določbami člena 2(1)(a) Sporazuma SIU štele za specifične.
PROVISIONS OF LAND-USE RIGHTS
ZAGOTAVLJANJE PRAVIC DO UPORABE ZEMLJIŠČ
With respect to LUR the GOC argued that the use of an external benchmark is illegal by making reference to Article 14(d) of the SCM Agreement and the Appellate Body in US – Softwood Lumber IV.
Glede pravic do uporabe zemljišč je kitajska vlada s sklicevanjem na člen 14(d) Sporazuma SIU in pritožbeni organ v zadevi ZDA – mehki stavbni les IV trdila, da je zunanja referenčna vrednost nezakonita.
It was submitted that EU and WTO law restricts the use of external benchmarks to very exceptional circumstances i.e. only when private market prices are distorted because of the government's predominant role as a provider of the good or service in question.
Navedeno je bilo, da pravo EU in STO omejuje uporabo zunanjih referenčnih vrednosti na zelo posebne okoliščine, tj. samo, kadar so cene na zasebnem trgu izkrivljene zaradi prevladujoče vloge vlade kot dobavitelja zadevnega blaga ali storitve.
According to the GOC the Commission has not proven that private market prices are distorted by the GOC's predominant role as a provider.
Glede na navedbe kitajske vlade Komisija ni dokazala, da so zaradi prevladujoče vloge kitajske vlade kot dobavitelja cene na zasebnem trgu izkrivljene.
First of all it is noted that WTO rules, as confirmed by the Appellate Body in US – Softwood Lumber IV (DS257) and the Panel in US – China countervailing duties (DS379) do not prohibit the use of external benchmarks.
Prvič, treba je opozoriti, da pravila STO, kot sta jih potrdila pritožbeni organ v zadevi ZDA – mehki stavbni les IV (DS257) in odbor v zadevi ZDA – kitajske izravnalne dajatve (DS379), ne prepovedujejo uporabe zunanjih referenčnih vrednosti.
Secondly, the Commission approach took fully into account the special conditions requested by the WTO case law in order to resort to an external benchmark.
Drugič, pristop Komisije je v celoti upošteval posebne pogoje, ki jih za uporabo zunanje referenčne vrednosti zahteva sodna praksa STO.
Indeed, as it has been demonstrated under recitals (248) to (259) above, land is government-owned in China and provided by the government on a lease basis.
Kot je bilo prikazano v uvodnih izjavah (248) do (259), so zemljišča na Kitajskem v državni lasti, vlada pa jih daje v najem.
Furthermore, the Chinese authorities control the supply and allocation of land to enterprises including in secondary markets and land assignment to enterprises is linked to a strict set of rules, while any type of change in land assignment, e.g. a transfer of a LUR contract from one enterprise to another enterprise, has to be approved by the State and recognized by a new LUR contract between the assignee with the relevant State authority.
Poleg tega kitajski organi nadzorujejo ponudbo in dodeljevanje zemljišč družbam tudi na sekundarnih trgih in dodeljevanje zemljišč podjetjem je povezano s strogimi pravili, medtem ko mora biti vsaka sprememba glede dodelitve zemljišča, npr. prenos pogodbe o pravicah do uporabe zemljišč z ene družbe na drugo, odobrena s strani države in potrjena z novo pogodbo o pravicah do uporabe zemljišč med prejemnikom pravice in zadevnim državnim organom.
In view of the above, it is concluded that GOC has a predominant role in the distribution of LUR and that any Chinese ‘private’ market prices (to the extent that they exist, none have been provided in this investigation) are bound to be distorted because of the GOC's predominant role as a provider and its monopoly role as a regulator of land transactions.
Glede na navedeno se sklene, da ima kitajska vlada prevladujočo vlogo pri distribuciji pravic do uporabe zemljišč in da so katere koli cene na kitajskem „zasebnem“ trgu (če obstajajo – v tej preiskavi ni bila predložena nobena) izkrivljene zaradi prevladujoče vloge kitajske vlade kot dobavitelja in njene monopolne vloge kot upravnega organa, ki ureja področje prenosa zemljišč.
Consequently, the GOC's financial contribution would effectively determine the level of any private prices.
Zato bi finančni prispevek kitajske vlade dejansko določil raven morebitnih zasebnih cen.
GOC also argued that by choosing Taiwan as an external benchmark the Commission failed to use an external benchmark which relates or refers to, or is connected with, the prevailing market conditions in China.
Kitajska vlada je tudi trdila, da Komisija z izbiro Tajvana kot zunanje referenčne vrednosti ni uporabila zunanje referenčne vrednosti, ki se nanaša na prevladujoče tržne pogoje na Kitajskem ali je z njimi povezana.
It was submitted that the use of Taiwanese benchmark to offset differences in comparative advantages between countries is expressly prohibited by WTO rules.
Navedeno je bilo, da uporabo tajvanske referenčne vrednosti za izravnavo razlik pri primerjalnih prednostih med državami izrecno prepovedujejo pravila STO.
The Commission considers Taiwan [19] as an appropriate external benchmark because of the totality of the information on the file i.e. (i) the level of economic development and economic structure prevailing in Taiwan and the relevant Chinese provinces where the co-operating exporting producers are established, (ii) the physical proximity of these two Chinese provinces with Taiwan, (iii) the high degree of infrastructure that both Taiwan and these two Chinese provinces have, (iv) the strong economic ties and cross border trade between Taiwan and the PRC, (v) the similar density of population in the Chinese provinces concerned and in Taiwan, (vi) the similarity between the type of land and transactions used for constructing the relevant benchmark in Taiwan with those in the PRC and (vii) the common demographic, linguistic and cultural characteristics in both Taiwan and the PRC.
Po mnenju Komisije je Tajvan [19] ustrezna zunanja referenčna vrednost zaradi vseh informacij v spisu, tj. (i) stopnje gospodarskega razvoja in gospodarske strukture, ki prevladuje na Tajvanu in v zadevnih kitajskih provincah, v katerih imajo sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki sedež, (ii) fizične bližine teh dveh kitajskih provinc in Tajvana, (iii) visoke ravni infrastrukture, ki jo imajo Tajvan in ti dve kitajski provinci, (iv) močnih gospodarskih vezi in čezmejne trgovine med Tajvanom in LRK, (v) podobne gostote naseljenosti v zadevnih kitajskih provincah in na Tajvanu, (vi) podobnosti med vrsto zemljišč in transakcij, uporabljenih za oblikovanje ustrezne referenčne vrednosti na Tajvanu, s tistimi v LRK in (vii) skupnih demografskih, jezikovnih in kulturnih značilnosti Tajvana in LRK.
Furthermore, Jiangsu and Shandong provinces are considered top manufacturing provinces in the PRC [20].
Treba je tudi dodati, da se provinci Jiangsu in Shandong štejeta za najpomembnejši proizvodni provinci v LRK [20].
Although the GDP per capita of Taiwan and the two Chinese provinces is not identical, the GDP of these Chinese provinces has grown rapidly in recent years i.e. they are catching up with Taiwan.
Čeprav BDP na prebivalca na Tajvanu in v teh dveh kitajskih provincah ni enak, pa BDP v teh kitajskih provincah v zadnjih letih hitro narašča, tj. dohitevata Tajvan.
In addition, recent data suggest that the both PRC and Taiwan have similar real GDP growth rates [21].
Poleg tega najnovejši podatki kažejo, da imata LRK in Tajvan podobno realno stopnjo rasti BDP [21].
However, it is important to note that the exact comparison made between the GDP of a non-market economy (the PRC) and the GDP of a well established market economy (Taiwan) is not a decisive fact because it is normal for a non-market economy to lag behind a functioning market economy in terms of GDP.
Ob tem je treba tudi opozoriti, da natančna primerjava med BDP v netržnem gospodarstvu (LRK) in BDP uveljavljenega tržnega gospodarstva (Tajvan) ni odločilen dejavnik, saj je glede BDP običajno, da netržno gospodarstvo zaostaja za delujočim tržnim gospodarstvom.
In addition, many other factors e.g. planning rules, environmental policy may affect the supply and demand of industrial land.
Poleg tega lahko na ponudbo in povpraševanje po industrijskih zemljiščih vplivajo številni drugi dejavniki, npr. pravila glede načrtovanja in okoljska politika.
The real issue is what would be the ‘prevailing market conditions’ with regard to LUR in the PRC if it was a functioning market economy and on the basis of all evidence they would be very similar to those of Taiwan.
Pravo vprašanje je, kakšni bi bili „prevladujoči tržni pogoji“ glede pravic do uporabe zemljišč v LRK, če bi bilo gospodarstvo delujoče in tržno, in na podlagi vseh dokazov bi bili zelo podobni tistim na Tajvanu.
Land is available in similarly dense areas, the physical proximity of the areas ensures that quality of land is similar while the fact that both Taiwan and the two Chinese provinces share the same language and culture, have export- oriented economies and important manufacturing sectors confirm that price, marketability and other conditions of purchase or sale of land are closely connected.
Zemljišča so na voljo v podobno gosto naseljenih območjih, fizična bližina območij zagotavlja, da je kakovost zemljišč podobna, dejstvo, da imajo Tajvan in ti dve kitajski provinci enak jezik in kulturo, izvozno usmerjeno gospodarstvo in pomembne proizvodne sektorje, pa potrjuje, da so cena, tržnost in drugi pogoji nabave ali prodaje zemljišč tesno povezani.
Cooperating exporting producers claimed that the information available to the Commission was sufficient to conclude that there is a market for land in China.
Sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da so bile informacije, ki jih je imela na voljo Komisija, zadostne za sklep, da na Kitajskem obstaja trg za zemljišča.
From the information made available to the Commission it was not possible to come to a conclusion that there is a functioning land market in China.
Na podlagi informacij, ki jih je imela Komisija na voljo, ni bilo mogoče priti do zaključka, da na Kitajskem obstaja delujoč trg zemljišč.
From the legislation made available to the Commission by the GOC it is obvious that all of the land in PRC is government-owned and it is provided only on the lease basis.
Iz zakonodaje, ki jo je kitajska vlada dala Komisiji na voljo, je razvidno, da so vsa zemljišča v LRK v vladni lasti in da so dodeljena samo na podlagi najema.
The Chinese authorities are in full control of the supply and allocation of land to enterprises, including transactions in the secondary market.
Kitajski organi imajo popoln nadzor nad ponudbo in dodeljevanjem zemljišč družbam, vključno s transakcijami na sekundarnem trgu.
No evidence was submitted that there is any market mechanism in the distribution of land-use rights, despite the Commission's requests to this effect.
Kljub zahtevam Komisije s tem v zvezi ni bil predložen noben dokaz, da pri distribuciji pravic do uporabe zemljišč obstaja tržni mehanizem.
The situation is explained in detail in recital (354) addressing similar claims of the GOC.
Položaj je v celoti pojasnjen v uvodni izjavi (354), kjer so obravnavane podobne trditve kitajske vlade.
APP submitted that today's Chinese LUR prices should be used as benchmark or in the alternative today's land prices in the Indian state of Maharashtra.
APP je trdila, da bi morale biti kot referenčna vrednost uporabljene najnovejše kitajske cene pravic do uporabe zemljišč ali, kot druga možnost, najnovejše cene zemljišč v indijski državi Maharaštra.
Chenming also suggested Indian state of Maharashtra for benchmark.
Chenming je za referenčno vrednost prav tako predlagal indijsko državo Maharaštro.
As already described in the recital (359) above, there is no functioning land market in China.
Kot je že opisano v uvodni izjavi (359), na Kitajskem ni delujočega trga zemljišč.
Therefore it is not appropriate to use today's Chinese LUR prices as a benchmark.
Zato uporaba najnovejših kitajskih cen pravic do uporabe zemljišč kot referenčne vrednosti ni ustrezna.
Exporting producers based its claim that the land prices in Maharashtra could be used as a benchmark on the comparison of the Indian state of Maharashtra in terms of GDP per capita and the population density at the time of purchase of LURs.
Proizvajalca izvoznika sta trditev, da bi se za referenčno vrednost lahko uporabile cene zemljišč v Maharaštri, osnovala na primerjavi indijske države Maharaštre glede na BDP na prebivalca in gostoto prebivalstva v času nabave pravic do uporabe zemljišč.
As explained above the Commission is of the opinion that the GDP per capita and the population density cannot be the only decisive factors when choosing a country/region for the purpose of application of external benchmark.
Kot je razloženo zgoraj, Komisija meni, da BDP na prebivalca in gostota prebivalstva ne moreta biti edina odločilna dejavnika pri izbiri države/regije za namene uporabe zunanje referenčne vrednosti.
In any event the methodology proposed by co-operating exporting producers is not consistent with their claims.
V vsakem primeru metodologija, ki sta jo predlagala sodelujoča proizvajalca izvoznika, ni v skladu z njunimi trditvami.
In the IP, Mumbai, the capital of Maharashtra and by far the most developed area of the state had per capita income is USD 2675 (Rs 1,28 lakh) which is in fact lower than the Chinese national average of USD 3529 [22] let alone the GDP par capita in the highly developed regions of Shandong and Jiangsu (USD 5255 and USD 6550 respectively).
V OP je bil v Mumbaju, prestolnici Maharaštre in daleč najbolj razvitem območju države, dohodek na prebivalca 2675 USD (1,28 lakha rupij), kar je pravzaprav manj od kitajskega državnega povprečja 3529 USD [22], kaj šele od BDP na prebivalca v visoko razvitih regijah Shandong in Jiangsu (5255 USD oziroma 6550 USD).
As far as population density is concerned, this is also not by itself a decisive factor, but, for the record, the population density is 314/km2 in Maharashtra, 736/km2 in Jiangsu and 600/km2 in Shandong, i.e. not in the same level.
Tudi gostota prebivalstva sama po sebi ni odločilen dejavnik, vendar pa je uradno gostota prebivalstva v Maharaštri 314/km2, v provinci Jiangsu 736/km2 in v provinci Shandong 600/km2, torej ne na enaki ravni.
Furthermore, other factors, such as the lack of physical proximity and common characteristics between India and China lead to the conclusion that the Maharashtra benchmark does not relate or refer to, and is not connected with, the prevailing market conditions in China.
Poleg tega so do sklepa, da se Maharaštra kot referenčna vrednost ne nanaša na prevladujoče tržne pogoje na Kitajskem in z njimi ni povezana, vodili drugi dejavniki, kot je pomanjkanje fizične bližine in skupnih značilnosti med Indijo in Kitajsko.
For the reasons explained in recital (357), Commission maintains the opinion that the prices of land in Taiwan are far more suitable external benchmark.
Zaradi razlogov, razloženih v uvodni izjavi (357), Komisija še naprej meni, da so cene zemljišč na Tajvanu precej bolj ustrezna zunanja referenčna vrednost.
APP claimed that some of the LUR taken in account by the Commission in the calculation of benefit resulting from this scheme are no longer held by APP.
APP je trdila, da nekatere pravice do uporabe zemljišč, ki jih je Komisija upoštevala pri izračunu ugodnosti iz te sheme, niso več v lasti APP.
APP also argued that by using information from the website of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economics Affairs of Taiwan it has arrived in a different average land price per square meter and the Commission did not make any effort in order to find representative offers for the industrial land.
APP je tudi trdila, da je z uporabo informacij s spletne strani industrijskega urada tajvanskega ministrstva za gospodarske zadeve dobila drugačno povprečno ceno zemljišč na kvadratni meter in da se Komisija ni potrudila, da bi našla reprezentativne ponudbe za industrijska zemljišča.
With respect to the total surface of the land used by APP, the Commission took APP's claim into account and on the basis of information and evidence presented in the comments on definitive disclosure it was accepted. The corrected information was reflected in subsidy calculation.
Glede na celotno površino zemljišč, ki jih uporablja APP, je Komisija upoštevala trditev APP ter jo na podlagi informacij in dokazov, predloženih v pripombah glede končnega razkritja, sprejela.
With respect to information derived from Taiwan it is noted that this claim had to be rejected.
Popravljene informacije so bile upoštevane pri izračunu subvencije.
Although this party did not propose to use this price for the calculation of an appropriate benchmark the following should be highlighted.
Glede informacij glede Tajvana je treba opozoriti, da je bilo treba trditev zavrniti.
Furthermore, the Commission can not address the calculation of the benchmark performed by APP, as APP did not provide any details on the methodology it used for this calculation and did not substantiate why its calculation represents more accurately average land prices in Taiwan.
Poleg tega Komisija ne more obravnavati izračuna referenčne vrednosti, ki ga je izvedla APP, saj APP ni predložila nobenih podrobnosti glede metodologije, ki jo je uporabila za izračun, in ni utemeljila, zakaj njen izračun omogoča bolj točne povprečne cene zemljišč na Tajvanu.
Cooperating exporting producers claimed that any subsidy in the form of the provision of land-use right for less than adequate remuneration would not be specific.
Sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da kakršna koli subvencija v obliki zagotavljanja pravice do uporabe zemljišča za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo ne bi bila specifična.
