Given the specificities of this case, as set out in recitals (57) to (60), it was decided to send questionnaires only to these three Union producers while the other two Union producers were requested to submit any additional comments which might assist the Commission in ascertaining whether imports of the products manufactured by Since Hardware have caused injury to the Union industry.
Zaradi posebnosti tega primera, kakor je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah (57) do (60), je bilo odločeno, da se vprašalniki pošljejo le tem trem proizvajalcem Unije, ostala dva proizvajalca Unije pa sta bila pozvana, da predložita dodatne pripombe, ki bi lahko Komisiji pomagale pri ugotavljanju, ali je uvoz izdelkov, ki jih je proizvedla družba Since Hardware, industriji Unije povzročil škodo.
All three complainant Union producers submitted questionnaire replies.
Vsi trije proizvajalci Unije pritožniki so predložili izpolnjene vprašalnike.
The other two Union producers did not submit further comments on the proceeding.
Ostala dva proizvajalca Unije nista predložila nadaljnjih pripomb glede postopka.
The Commission also sent questionnaires to all known producers in potential analogue countries and to all importers known to be concerned and not related to Since Hardware.
Komisija je vprašalnike poslala tudi vsem znanim proizvajalcem v možnih primerljivih državah in vsem uvoznikom, za katere se je vedelo, da jih to zadeva in da niso povezani z družbo Since Hardware.
As concerns unrelated importers in the Union, there were initially two companies cooperating in the investigation.
V zvezi z nepovezanimi uvozniki v Uniji sta v preiskavi prvotno sodelovali dve družbi.
However, one of them was not in the position to continue cooperation.
Vendar pa ena ni mogla nadaljevati sodelovanja.
The other importer was the same company as one of the non-complainant Union producers.
Drugi uvoznik je bila družba, ki je bila tudi eden od proizvajalcev Unije nepritožnikov.
It submitted a reply to the importers’ questionnaire.
Ta družba je predložila odgovor na vprašalnik za uvoznike.
In addition, one trade association also cooperated in the investigation and submitted comments.
Poleg tega je v preiskavi sodelovalo tudi eno trgovinsko združenje in predložilo pripombe.
The Commission sought and verified all the information it deemed necessary for the purpose of assessing MET and for the determination of dumping, contribution to injury and Union interest.
Komisija je poiskala in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za oceno TGO in določitev dampinga, prispevka k škodi in interesa Unije.
A verification visit was carried out at the premises of Since Hardware in Guangzhou in the PRC and of Vale Mill (Rochdale) Ltd. in the UK.
V prostorih družb Since Hardware v Guangzhou v LRK in Vale Mill (Rochdale) Ltd. v Združenem kraljestvu je bil opravljen preveritveni obisk.
The Commission informed interested parties that given the complex legal background linked to the present investigation (see recital (3) et seq. above), it considered it more appropriate not to impose provisional measures in this case but to continue the investigation.
Komisija je zainteresirane strani obvestila, da zaradi zapletene zakonske podlage v zvezi s sedanjo preiskavo (glej zgoraj navedeno uvodno izjavo (3) in naslednje) meni, da je v tem primeru namesto uvedbe začasnih ukrepov primerneje nadaljevati preiskavo.
No objection was raised by any party.
Nobena od strani ni vložila ugovora.
Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the imposition of a definitive anti-dumping duty and were given an opportunity to comment.
Zainteresirane strani so bile obveščene o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih se je nameravala priporočiti uvedba dokončne protidampinške dajatve, dana pa jim je bila tudi možnost, da izrazijo svoje pripombe.
The comments submitted by the parties were considered and, when appropriate, the findings have been modified accordingly.
Po preučitvi pripomb, ki so jih predložile strani, so bile ugotovitve po potrebi ustrezno spremenjene.
The investigation of dumping and price undercutting covered the period from 1 July 2008 to 30 June 2009 (the ‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Preiskava dampinga in nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen je zajela obdobje od 1. julija 2008 do 30. junija 2009 („obdobje preiskave“ ali „OP“).
The examination of import volumes of Since Hardware products relevant for the assessment of the contribution to injury covered the period from 1 January 2006 to the end of the IP (the ‘period considered’).
Preiskava obsega uvoza izdelkov družbe Since Hardware, pomembnih za oceno škode (prispevka k škodi), je zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2006 do konca OP („obravnavano obdobje“).
However, because of the specificities of this case – namely that another original investigation concerning the same product and third country took place only some years ago, and because the duties resulting from that investigation are still in place - in the injury analysis reference to the investigation period of that earlier investigation will also be made (‘IP of the first investigation’).
Zaradi posebnosti tega primera, in sicer da je pred samo nekaj leti že potekala ena prvotna preiskava v zvezi z istim izdelkom in tretjo državo, in ker so dajatve, ki so bile uvedene kot posledica navedene preiskave, še vedno v veljavi, se bo analiza škode sklicevala tudi na obdobje preiskave navedene predhodne preiskave (v nadaljnjem besedilu: OP prve preiskave).
The product concerned is ironing boards, whether or not free-standing, with or without a steam soaking and/or heating top and/or blowing top, including sleeve boards, and essential parts thereof, i.e. the legs, the top and the iron rest originating in the PRC and produced by Since Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. (‘the product concerned’), currently falling within CN codes ex39249000, ex44219098, ex73239390, ex73239991, ex73239999, ex85167970 and ex85169000.
Zadevni izdelek so likalne deske, prostostoječe ali ne, z ali brez sistema za vsrkavanje odvečne pare in/ali ogrevalnega sistema in/ali sistema za pihanje zraka, vključno z rokavniki, in njihovi bistveni deli, tj. podnožje, prevleka in odlagalna površina za likalnik, s poreklom iz LRK, ki jih je izdelala družba Since Hardware (Guangzhou) Co., Ltd. („zadevni izdelek“), trenutno uvrščeni pod oznake KN ex39249000, ex44219098, ex73239390, ex73239991, ex73239999, ex85167970 in ex85169000.
The investigation showed that there are different types of ironing boards and their essential parts depend mainly on their construction and size, their construction material and accessories.
Preiskava je pokazala, da obstajajo različne vrste likalnih desk in njihovih bistvenih delov, kar je odvisno predvsem od njihove izdelave in velikosti, materiala, uporabljenega pri izdelavi, in opreme.
The exporting producer claimed that the essential parts of ironing boards should not be covered by the investigation because ironing boards and their essential parts (i.e. legs, tops and iron rests) do not constitute a single product and therefore could not be part of the same product concerned in one investigation.
Proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da preiskava ne bi smela zajeti bistvenih delov likalnih desk, ker likalne deske in njihovi bistveni deli (tj. podnožja, prevleke in odlagalne površine za likalnik) ne sestavljajo enega izdelka in zato ne morejo biti del istega zadevnega izdelka v eni preiskavi.
This argument was not confirmed by the investigation.
Preiskava ni potrdila te utemeljitve.
It was found in the present investigation that essential parts of ironing boards should be covered since legs, tops and iron rests determine the characteristics of the finished product and cannot have an end-use other than being incorporated into the final product (i.e. the ironing board) and, as such, they are not a distinct product.
V sedanji preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi morali biti bistveni deli likalnih desk zajeti v preiskavo, ker podnožja, prevleke in odlagalne površine za likalnik določajo lastnosti končnega izdelka in ne morejo imeti druge končne uporabe, kot da so vgrajeni v končni izdelek (tj. likalna deska), in kot takšni niso ločen izdelek.
This is in line with a number of other investigations in which finished products and key components were considered as one single product.
To je v skladu s številnimi preiskavami, v katerih so bili končni izdelki in njihovi ključni sestavni deli obravnavani kot en izdelek.
Consequently, similarly to the first investigation, all existing types of ironing boards and their essential parts thereof are considered as one product for the purposes of this investigation.
Zato se za namene te preiskave, podobno kot v prvi preiskavi, vse obstoječe vrste likalnih desk in njihovi bistveni deli obravnavajo kot en izdelek.
No differences were found between the product concerned and the ironing boards and the essential parts thereof produced by the complainants and other cooperating Union producers and sold on the Union market which finally also served as an analogue country.
Med zadevnim izdelkom ter likalnimi deskami in njihovimi bistvenimi deli, ki so jih proizvedli pritožniki in drugi sodelujoči proizvajalci Unije ter so bili prodani na trgu Unije, ki je na koncu predstavljala primerljivo državo, niso bile ugotovljene razlike.
They both share the same physical characteristics and uses and are interchangeable one with the other.
Imajo enake fizikalne lastnosti in uporabo ter so medsebojno zamenljivi.
Consequently, ironing boards and the essential parts thereof produced and sold in the Union and the product concerned are considered like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Zato se likalne deske in njihovi bistveni deli, izdelani in prodani v Uniji, štejejo kot enaki zadevnemu izdelku v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, in anti-dumping investigations concerning imports originating in the PRC, normal value shall be determined in accordance with paragraphs 1 to 6 of Article 2 of the basic Regulation for those producers which were found to meet the criteria laid down in Article 2(7)(c) thereof, i.e. where it is shown that market economy conditions prevail in respect of the manufacture and sale of the like product.
V skladu s členom 2(7)(b) osnovne uredbe se normalna vrednost v protidampinških preiskavah v zvezi z uvozom iz LRK določi v skladu z odstavki 1 do 6 člena 2 osnovne uredbe za tiste proizvajalce, za katere je bilo ugotovljeno, da izpolnjujejo merila iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe, tj. kadar se izkaže, da pri proizvodnji in prodaji podobnega izdelka veljajo pogoji tržnega gospodarstva.
business decisions are made in response to market signals, and without significant State interference; costs of major inputs substantially reflect market values;
poslovne odločitve se sprejemajo v skladu s tržnimi razmerami in brez večjega vmešavanja države, stroški večjih vlaganj v glavnem odražajo tržne vrednosti;
firms have one clear set of basic accounting records which are independently audited in line with International Accounting Standards (‘IAS’) and are applied for all purposes;
podjetja imajo jasno določeno zbirko osnovnih računovodskih evidenc, ki se pregledujejo neodvisno v skladu z mednarodnimi računovodskimi standardi („MRS“) in se uporabljajo za vse namene;
currency exchanges are carried out at market rates.
menjave valute se izvajajo po tržnih tečajih.
Since Hardware requested MET pursuant to Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation and was invited to complete a MET claim form.
Družba Since Hardware je zahtevala TGO v skladu s členom 2(7)(b) osnovne uredbe in je bila pozvana, da izpolni obrazec zahtevka za TGO.
The investigation established that Since Hardware did not meet the MET criterion referred to in the first indent of Article 2(7)(c) (criterion 1) of the basic Regulation as regards costs of major inputs.
Preiskava je pokazala, da družba Since Hardware ni izpolnjevala merila za TGO iz prve alinee člena 2(7)(c) (merila 1) osnovne uredbe glede stroškov večjih vlaganj.
Moreover, the investigation established that Since Hardware did not meet the MET criterion referred to in the second indent of Article 2(7)(c) (criterion 2) of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava je prav tako pokazala, da družba Since Hardware ni izpolnjevala merila za TGO iz druge alinee člena 2(7)(c) (merila 2) osnovne uredbe.
The major MET findings are set out below.
Glavne ugotovitve TGO so povzete v nadaljevanju.
As regards criterion 1, i.e. that business decisions are made in response to market signals, without significant State interference, and costs reflect market values, it is noted that Since Hardware claimed to have started to purchase its main raw materials (steel products) on the domestic Chinese market, unlike in the investigation period in the first investigation when Since Hardware imported these raw materials.
Glede merila 1, tj. da se poslovne odločitve sprejmejo v skladu s tržnimi razmerami in brez večjega vmešavanja države, stroški pa odražajo tržne vrednosti, je treba opozoriti, da je družba Since Hardware trdila, da je glavne surovine (jeklene izdelke) začela kupovati na domačem kitajskem trgu, v nasprotju z obdobjem preiskave v prvi preiskavi, ko je družba Since Hardware te surovine uvažala.
Therefore, it was examined if the Chinese domestic market for the main raw materials could be considered as reflecting market values.
Zato se je proučilo, ali bi se lahko štelo, da kitajski domači trg za glavne surovine odraža tržne vrednosti.
However, in June 2009 (at the end of the IP), the Chinese policy towards the steel sector appears to have changed again: the export tax was abolished and a new VAT rebate on steel products was introduced which creates a more favourable environment for exports.
Vendar pa se je junija 2009 (na koncu OP) politika Kitajske do jeklarskega sektorja očitno ponovno spremenila: izvozna dajatev je bila odpravljena in uveden je bil nov DDV rabat na jeklene izdelke, kar ustvarja ugodnejše okolje za izvoz.
The new policy which no longer discourages exports coincides with the drop in steel prices on other world markets and with the alignment of Chinese domestic prices with international steel prices, i.e. a situation of no danger of increased prices in the domestic market.
Nova politika, ki ne preprečuje več izvoza, sovpada s padcem cen jekla na drugih svetovnih trgih in z uskladitvijo kitajskih domačih cen z mednarodnimi cenami jekla, tj. s položajem, ko ni nevarnosti za zviševanje cen na domačem trgu.
These repeated changes in the steel export tax/VAT regime over time apparently took place in order to regulate the Chinese domestic steel market and prices.
Očitno so se te ponavljajoče spremembe v sistemu izvozne dajatve/DDV na izvoz jekla dogajale zaradi uravnavanja kitajskega domačega trga z jeklom in cen.
Thus, the State continued to exercise an important influence on the domestic steel market and, thus, the steel prices in the PRC for these particular raw materials do not freely follow world market trends.
Država je imela tako še naprej pomemben vpliv na domači trg z jeklom, zaradi česar se cene jekla za te določene surovine v LRK ne prilagajajo prosto trendom na svetovnem trgu.
Indeed, many studies and reports as well as publicly available accounts of a number of steel producers [7] confirm that the Chinese State is actively supporting the development of the steel sector in the PRC.
Mnoge študije in poročila ter javno dostopni računovodski podatki številnih proizvajalcev jekla [6] potrjujejo, da kitajska država dejavno podpira razvoj jeklarskega sektorja v LRK.
As a consequence, domestic steel prices in the PRC were, during the first half of the investigation period, far below prices on other sizeable world markets, notably steel prices in North America and North Europe [8], and these price differences cannot be explained by any competitive advantage in the production of steel.
Posledično so bile domače cene jekla v LRK v prvi polovici obdobja preiskave mnogo nižje od cen na drugih večjih svetovnih trgih, zlasti cen jekla v Severni Ameriki in severni Evropi [7], te cenovne razlike pa se ne dajo razložiti z nobeno konkurenčno prednostjo v proizvodnji jekla.
In the second half of the IP, world steel prices dropped significantly in Europe and in North America while Chinese domestic prices dropped to a much lesser extent.
Cene jekla na svetovnem trgu so v drugi polovici OP znatno padle v Evropi in Severni Ameriki, medtem ko je bil padec kitajskih domačih cen precej manjši.
Thus the price difference between Chinese and international steel prices practically disappeared by the end of the IP.
Na koncu OP je zato razlika med kitajskimi in mednarodnimi cenami jekla skorajda izginila.
However, the measures taken by the Chinese government to regulate the Chinese steel market have essentially lead to a situation where the raw material prices continue to be the result of State intervention that has a direct influence on company decisions when acquiring raw materials.
Ukrepi, ki jih je kitajska vlada sprejela za ureditev kitajskega trga jekla, pa so v bistvu povzročili, da so bile cene surovin še naprej odvisne od posredovanja države, ki ima neposreden vpliv na odločitve, ki jih družba sprejme v zvezi s pridobivanjem surovin.
Given that Since Hardware purchased its raw materials during this IP on the Chinese domestic market, it was benefiting from these artificially low and distorted prices of steel during the IP.
Ker je družba Since Hardware v času tega OP surovine kupovala na kitajskem domačem trgu, je imela v OP koristi od umetno nizkih in izkrivljenih cen jekla.
It was thus concluded that major inputs of Since Hardware do not substantially reflect market values.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da večja vlaganja družbe Since Hardware ne odražajo bistveno tržnih vrednosti.
Consequently, it was concluded that Since Hardware has not shown that it fulfils criterion 1 set out in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation and, thus, could not be granted MET.
Posledično je bilo sklenjeno, da družba Since Hardware ni dokazala, da izpolnjuje merilo 1 iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe, zato ji ni bilo mogoče odobriti TGO.
Moreover, the company could not demonstrate that it has one clear set of basic accounting records which are independently audited in line with IAS and applied for all purposes, as the accounts, and in particular the capital verification report, were silent on an important transaction that happened during the IP.
Poleg tega podjetje ni moglo dokazati, da ima jasno določeno zbirko računovodskih evidenc, ki se pregledujejo neodvisno v skladu z mednarodnimi računovodskimi standardi („MRS“) in se uporabljajo za vse namene, ker v računovodskih podatkih, in zlasti v glavnem poročilu o preveritvi, ni bila omenjena pomembna transakcija, ki se je zgodila v OP.
Moreover, the auditors did not comment on this important transaction.
Poleg tega revizorji v zvezi s to pomembno transakcijo niso podali pripomb.
In addition, a booking of a significant amount has been found which did not respect the principle of fair representation of accounts under IAS.
Prav tako je bilo ugotovljeno knjiženje znatnega zneska, kjer ni bilo upoštevano načelo poštene predstavitve računovodskih podatkov na podlagi MRS 1.
The auditor did not comment on this either.
Revizor tudi glede tega ni podal pripomb.
It was thus concluded that the company also failed to demonstrate that it fulfils criterion 2 set out in Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da družba ni dokazala, da izpolnjuje merilo 2 iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe.
Since Hardware, the authorities of the country concerned and the Union industry were given an opportunity to comment on the above findings.
Družbi Since Hardware, oblastem v zadevni državi in industriji Unije je bila dana možnost, da predložijo pripombe k navedenim ugotovitvam.
Comments were received from Since Hardware and the Union industry.
Pripombe sta predložili družba Since Hardware in industrija Unije.
Since Hardware put forward three main arguments on the MET finding.
Družba Since Hardware je predstavila tri glavne argumente v zvezi z ugotovitvami TGO.
Firstly, it stated that the MET decision was made after the Commission had requested and obtained the company’s domestic sales and costs which would have been in breach of the second subparagraph of Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Prvič je navedla, da je bila odločitev TGO sprejeta po tem, ko je Komisija zahtevala in pridobila podatke o domači prodaji in stroških družbe, ki bi kršili drugi pododstavek člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe.
Second, although Since Hardware did not disagree with the evolution of steel prices as such, it claimed that the Chinese raw material prices were still in line with prices in other countries and that the price paid by Since Hardware on the Chinese market was above the prices of several steel markets in market-economy countries world-wide.
Drugič, čeprav družba Since Hardware ni nasprotovala razvoju cen jekla kot takšnih, pa je trdila, da so kitajske cene surovin še vedno v skladu s cenami v drugih državah in da je družba Since Hardware na kitajskem trgu plačala ceno, ki je bila višja kot na več trgih z jeklom v državah s tržnim gospodarstvom po svetu.
Since Hardware stated that prices of other international markets such as the Turkish or Ukrainian export prices would also be available, and that these were lower than the domestic prices in the PRC.
Družba Since Hardware je navedla, da obstajajo tudi cene drugih mednarodnih trgov, kot na primer turške ali ukrajinske izvozne cene, ki so nižje od domačih cen v LRK.
Third, Since Hardware argued that MET could not be denied to a company active in one industry (ironing boards) for factors relating exclusively to another industry (steel) and that the Commission could not offset subsidies in the upstream market through the rejection of a MET claim in the downstream market.
Tretjič, družba Since Hardware je trdila, da družbi, ki deluje v eni industriji (likalne deske), ni mogoče zavrniti TGO v zvezi z dejavniki, ki se nanašajo izključno na drugo industrijo (jeklo), in da Komisija z zavrnitvijo zahtevka za TGO na prodajnem trgu ne more izravnati subvencij na nabavnem trgu.
Moreover, Since Hardware claimed that it was an unreasonable burden of proof to require a small ironing boards company to provide evidence that the Chinese steel industry is not subsidised.
Poleg tega je družba Since Hardware trdila, da predstavlja zahteva po zagotovitvi dokazov, da kitajska industrija jekla ni subvencionirana, za majhno družbo, ki se ukvarja z izdelavo likalnih desk, nerazumno dokazno breme.
Concerning the first argument of Since Hardware, it is noted that pursuant to Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, a determination whether Since Hardware meets the five relevant criteria shall be made and this determination shall remain in force throughout the investigation.
V zvezi s prvim argumentom družbe Since Hardware je treba opozoriti, da se na podlagi člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe odloči, ali družba Since Hardware izpolnjuje pet pomembnih meril, ta odločitev pa velja ves čas preiskave.
As the present investigation is limited to one exporting producer, the Commission verified the MET claim and the anti-dumping questionnaire reply at the same time, in the framework of the same on-spot investigation.
Ker je sedanja preiskava omejena le na enega proizvajalca izvoznika, je Komisija istočasno, v okviru iste preiskave na kraju samem, preverila zahtevek za TGO in izpolnjeni protidampinški vprašalnik.
The MET claim was investigated on its own merits and irrespective of the effects which it might have on the calculation of the dumping margin.
Preiskava zahtevka za TGO se je opravila posebej in ne glede na možne učinke na izračun stopnje dampinga.
In fact, detailed dumping calculations for Since Hardware could not be made before the MET determination in the absence of data from an appropriate market economy country.
Natančnih izračunov dampinga za družbo Since Hardware pred določitvijo TGO brez podatkov iz ustrezne države s tržnim gospodarstvom dejansko ne bi bilo mogoče opraviti.
