Economic downturn
Gospodarska recesija
The financial and economic crisis of 2008 led to a market growth that was slower than expected and unusual as compared to the beginning of the years 2000 where yearly growth rates around 10 % could be observed.
Zaradi finančne in gospodarske krize v letu 2008 je bila rast trga počasnejša od pričakovane in neobičajna v primerjavi s prvimi leti tega tisočletja, v katerih so bile zabeležene približno 10-odstotne letne stopnje rasti.
However, the negative effect of the economic downturn and the contraction in demand was exacerbated by the increased dumped imports from Iran and the UAE, which undercut the prices of the Union industry.
Vendar je povečan dampinški uvoz iz Irana in ZAE, ki je nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije, negativne učinke gospodarske recesije in zmanjševanje povpraševanja še povečal.
Even if the economic downturn could therefore be considered as contributing to the injury for the period starting in the last quarter of 2008, this cannot in any way diminish the damaging injurious effects of low priced dumped imports in the EU market over the whole period considered.
Čeprav bi se zato lahko štelo, da je gospodarska recesija prispevala k škodi v obdobju od zadnjega četrtletja leta 2008, to nikakor ne more zmanjšati škodljivega učinka zelo poceni dampinškega uvoza na trg EU v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
Even in a situation of decreasing sales, the Union industry should be able to maintain an acceptable level of prices and therefore limit the negative effects of any decrease in the growth of consumption, but only in the absence of the unfair competition of low priced dumped imports in the market.
Industrija Unije bi morala biti tudi ob zmanjšanju prodaje sposobna ohraniti ustrezno raven cen in tako omejiti negativne učinke kakršnega koli zmanjšanja rasti potrošnje, vendar le, če ne bi bilo nelojalne konkurence zaradi zelo poceni dampinškega uvoza na njen trg.
The economic downturn has also no impact whatsoever on the injury suffered and observed already before the last quarter of 2008.
Gospodarska recesija prav tako ni vplivala na povzročeno škodo, ki je bila ugotovljena že pred zadnjim četrtletjem leta 2008.
Consequently, the economic downturn must be considered as an element contributing to the injury suffered by the Union industry as from last quarter of 2008 only and given its global character cannot be considered as a possible cause breaking the causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from the UAE and Iran.
Zato je treba gospodarsko recesijo šteti za element, ki k škodi, nastali industriji Unije, prispeva šele od zadnjega četrtletja leta 2008, in je glede na njeno globalno naravo ni mogoče šteti za vzrok, ki bi lahko prekinil vzročno zvezo med škodo, nastalo industriji Unije, in dampinškim uvozom iz ZAE in Irana.
Some interested parties argued that any injury suffered by the Union industry would be caused in the first place by the unfavourable location of at least some Union producers (i.e. far away from a harbour thus incurring additional unnecessary transportation costs for the raw materials as well as for the final product).
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da naj bi bil najpomembnejši razlog za škodo, ki je nastala industriji Unije, neugodna lokacija vsaj nekaterih proizvajalcev Unije (tj. daleč od pristanišča, zaradi česar imajo dodatne nepotrebne stroške prevoza surovin in končnega izdelka).
As regards the above argument, it is recognised that being located in a place not easily accessible by relatively cheaper means of transport has certain disadvantages in terms of cost for the delivery of both raw materials from the suppliers and the final product to the customers.
V zvezi z zgornjo trditvijo se priznava, da ima lokacija v kraju, ki ni lahko dostopen z razmeroma poceni prevoznimi sredstvi, nekatere slabosti glede stroškov dostave surovin od dobaviteljev in dostave končnega izdelka strankam.
However, the investigation and the verified data from the sampled Union producers (two of them located close to a harbour and two further inland) did not show any significant correlation between the geographical location and the economic performance of the Union producers.
Vendar preiskava in preverjeni podatki vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije (dva imata sedež blizu pristanišča in dva bolj v notranjosti) niso pokazali pomembnih povezav med geografsko lokacijo in gospodarsko uspešnostjo proizvajalcev Unije.
In fact, the injury found applied also to those producers located close to a harbour.
Dejansko so ugotovljeno škodo imeli tudi proizvajalci s sedežem blizu pristanišča.
Consequently, it is concluded that geographical location did not materially contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato se ugotavlja, da k škodi, ki je nastala industriji Unije, geografska lokacija ni bistveno prispevala.
Vertical integration
Vertikalna integracija
Some interested parties argued that any injury suffered by the Union industry would be caused by the fact that many Union producers are not vertically integrated (in terms of production of PTA) and thus have a significant cost disadvantage vis-à-vis integrated exporters.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da naj bi škodo, ki je nastala industriji Unije, povzročilo dejstvo, da veliko proizvajalcev Unije ni vertikalno integriranih (pri proizvodnji PTA) in so zato v stroškovno neugodnem položaju v primerjavi z integriranimi izvozniki.
The verified data from the sampled Union producers did not show any significant correlation between the vertical integration of the PTA production and the economic performance of the Union producers.
Preverjeni podatki vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije niso pokazali pomembnih povezav med vertikalno integracijo proizvodnje PTA in gospodarsko uspešnostjo proizvajalcev Unije.
Consequently, it is concluded that lack of vertical integration of the PTA production did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato se ugotavlja, da k škodi, ki je nastala industriji Unije, pomanjkanje vertikalne integracije proizvodnje PTA ni prispevalo.
The coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the increase in dumped imports from the UAE and Iran, the increase in market shares and the undercutting found and, on the other hand, the deterioration in the situation of the Union producers, leads to the conclusion that the dumped imports caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi istočasnega povečanja dampinškega uvoza iz ZAE in Irana ter njunega tržnega deleža in ugotovljenega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen na eni strani ter poslabšanja položaja proizvajalcev Unije na drugi strani se lahko sklepa, da je dampinški uvoz industriji Unije povzročil znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
Other factors were analysed but were found not to break the causal link between the effects of the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Proučeni so bili tudi drugi dejavniki, vendar je bilo ugotovljeno, da ne prekinjajo vzročne zveze med učinki dampinškega uvoza in škodo, ki je nastala industriji Unije.
As concerns Pakistan, since the undercutting is very low, it is considered that its imports did not contribute to the injury of the Union industry to any material extent.
Ker je v zvezi s Pakistanom nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen zelo nizko, se sklene, da njegov uvoz ni v bistvenem obsegu prispeval k škodi industrije Unije.
Imports from the Republic of Korea may have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry, but given the small price difference between these imports and the Union market, this is considered not to break the causal link established with the dumped imports from the UAE and Iran.
Čeprav je uvoz iz Republike Koreje morda prispeval k škodi, ki je nastala industriji Unije, se glede na majhno razliko med cenami tega uvoza in cenami na trgu Unije sklene, da ta uvoz ne prekinja vzročne zveze, vzpostavljene z dampinškim uvozom iz ZAE in Irana.
Due to the declining market share and their high price level, there is no evidence that imports from other third counties have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zaradi zmanjševanja tržnega deleža uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav in visoke ravni cen tega uvoza ni dokazov, da bi prispeval k škodi, ki je nastala industriji Unije.
Moreover, no other known factor, i.e. the export performance of the Union industry, competition from the other Union producers, the economic downturn, the geographical location and lack of vertical integration, has contributed to the injury of the Union industry to an extent that it would break the causal link.
Poleg tega noben drug znan dejavnik, tj. izvoz industrije Unije, konkurenca drugih proizvajalcev Unije, gospodarska recesija, geografska lokacija in pomanjkanje vertikalne integracije, ni prispeval k škodi industrije Unije v takšnem obsegu, da bi bila prekinjena vzročna zveza.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors having an effect on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effect of the dumped imports, it is provisionally concluded that the imports from the UAE and Iran have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgornje analize, pri kateri so bili vsi znani dejavniki, ki vplivajo na položaj industrije Unije, ustrezno ločeni od škodljivega učinka dampinškega uvoza, se začasno sklene, da je uvoz iz ZAE in Irana industriji Unije povzročil znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusions on dumping, injury, and causation, compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that it is not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali kljub sklepom o dampingu, škodi in vzročni zvezi obstajajo nujni razlogi, zaradi katerih bi bilo mogoče sklepati, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
For this purpose and pursuant to Article 21(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission considered the likely impact of possible measures on all parties involved as well as the likely consequences of not taking measures.
V ta namen in v skladu s členom 21(1) osnovne uredbe je Komisija proučila verjeten vpliv možnih ukrepov na vse vključene strani in verjetne posledice nesprejetja ukrepov.
The Commission sent questionnaires to independent importers, suppliers of raw materials, users and their associations.
Komisija je neodvisnim uvoznikom, dobaviteljem surovin ter uporabnikom in njihovim združenjem poslala vprašalnike.
In total, over 50 questionnaires were sent out, but only 13 replies were received within the time limits set.
Skupaj je bilo poslanih 50 vprašalnikov, vendar je bilo v določenih rokih prejetih le 13 izpolnjenih vprašalnikov.
In addition, 22 users came forward later in the proceeding with letters expressing opposition to any possible measures in this case.
Poleg tega je pozneje v postopku 22 uporabnikov predložilo dopise, v katerih so izrazili nasprotovanje kakršnim koli možnim ukrepom v tem primeru.
Interest of the Union industry and other Union producers
Interes industrije Unije in drugih proizvajalcev Unije
It is expected that the imposition of measures on imports from the UAE and Iran would prevent further distortions of the market, suppression of prices and restore fair competition.
Pričakuje se, da bi se z uvedbo ukrepov za uvoz iz ZAE in Irana preprečilo nadaljnje izkrivljanje trga in pritisk na cene ter bi se ponovno vzpostavila poštena konkurenca.
This, in turn, would provide the Union industry with an opportunity to improve its situation due to increased prices, increased sales volumes and market share.
To bi industriji Unije omogočilo, da na podlagi višjih cen ter večjega obsega prodaje in tržnega deleža izboljša svoj položaj.
In the absence of measures, it is expected that imports from the UAE and Iran would continue to increase at low prices undercutting the prices of the Union industry.
Pričakuje se, da bi se brez ukrepov uvoz iz ZAE in Irana še naprej povečeval po nizkih cenah, s čimer bi se nelojalno nižale prodajne cene industrije Unije.
In this case, the Union industry would not have the opportunity to improve its situation.
V tem primeru industrija Unije ne bi mogla izboljšati svojega položaja.
Given the bad financial state of the Union industry, more closures would be expected with the resulting loss in employment.
Glede na slab finančni položaj industrije Unije bi pričakovali več zaprtij, zaradi katerih bi se povečalo število brezposelnih.
There is no indication that the interests of the other producers in the Union that have not actively cooperated with the investigation would be different from those indicated for the Union industry.
Nobenega dokaza ni, da bi bili interesi drugih proizvajalcev Unije, ki niso dejavno sodelovali v preiskavi, drugačni od interesov industrije Unije.
The Iranian company argued that the imposition of measures would not help the Union industry because it would only lead to new investments in other exporting countries.
Iranska družba je trdila, da uvedba ukrepov industriji Unije ne bi pomagala, ker bi samo privedla do novih naložb v drugih državah izvoznicah.
This argument can not be accepted as it would mean, when pushed to its logical consequence, that anti-dumping measures can never be imposed on products for which investments can be shifted to other countries.
Te utemeljitve ni mogoče sprejeti, ker bi bila logična posledica te utemeljitve ta, da protidampinški ukrepi nikoli ne morejo biti uvedeni za proizvode, za katere se lahko naložbe prenesejo v druge države.
It would also mean denying protection against unfair trade just because of the possibility of new competition from other third countries.
To bi tudi pomenilo odpoved zaščiti pred nepošteno trgovino samo zaradi morebitne nove konkurence iz drugih tretjih držav.
The same interested party claimed that any measures could not remedy a structural competitive disadvantage of the EU PET production industry in comparison to the PET production industry in Asia and the Middle East.
Ista zainteresirana stran je trdila, da noben ukrep ne bi mogel izboljšati strukturno podrejenega konkurenčnega položaja proizvodne industrije PET Evropske unije v primerjavi s proizvodno industrijo PET v Aziji in na Bližnjem vzhodu.
This argument, however, was not sufficiently substantiated.
Vendar ta utemeljitev ni zadostno utemeljena.
It is noted that some sampled Union producers which are vertically integrated are also in a difficult financial situation.
Treba je upoštevati, da so nekateri vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije, ki so vertikalno integrirani, tudi v težkem finančnem položaju.
In addition, even if there were possible competitive advantages (for example through cheaper access to raw materials), exporting producers were still found to dump.
Poleg tega je bil pri proizvajalcih izvoznikih ugotovljen damping, tudi kadar so imeli potencialne konkurenčne prednosti (na primer preko cenejšega dostopa do surovin).
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping measures would clearly be in the interest of the Union industry.
V skladu s tem se začasno sklene, da je uvedba protidampinških ukrepov nedvomno v interesu industrije Unije.
Interest of unrelated importers in the Union
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov v Uniji
As indicated above, sampling was applied for the unrelated importers and out of two sampled companies only one importing agent (Global Services International, ‘G.S.I’.) has fully cooperated in this investigation by submitting a questionnaire reply.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, je bilo vzorčenje uporabljeno za nepovezane uvoznike, pri čemer je od dveh vzorčenih družb le en uvozni agent (Global Services International, v nadaljnjem besedilu: G.S.I.) v celoti sodeloval v tej preiskavi in predložil izpolnjen vprašalnik.
The imports declared by the cooperating agent represent a significant proportion of all imports from the countries concerned in the IP.
Uvoz, ki ga je prijavil sodelujoči agent, predstavlja znaten delež vsega uvoza iz zadevnih držav v OP.
Commissions for the imports of PET represent the majority of the G.S.I. business.
Provizije za uvoz PET predstavljajo večino poslovanja G.S.I.
Given that the agent works on a commission basis, imposition of any duties is not expected to have a significant impact on his performance as any actual import price increase would likely be borne by his clients.
Ker agent deluje na podlagi provizij, se ne pričakuje, da bi uvedba kakršnih koli dajatev znatno vplivala na njegovo uspešnost, saj bi bilo kakršno koli zvišanje dejanske uvozne cene preneseno na njegove stranke.
No other importer submitted relevant information.
Noben drug uvoznik ni predložil ustreznih informacij.
Given that imports from other countries where there are currently anti-dumping measures in force did not stop and that imports are available from countries without any anti-dumping measures (e.g. Oman, USA, Brazil), it is considered that importers can import from these countries.
Glede na to, da se uvoz iz drugih držav, za katere trenutno veljajo protidampinški ukrepi, ni nehal in da poteka tudi uvoz iz držav, za katere ne veljajo protidampinški ukrepi (npr. Oman, Združene države Amerike, Brazilija), se sklene, da lahko uvozniki iz teh držav uvažajo.
Accordingly, it is provisionally concluded that the imposition of provisional measures will not have negative effects on the interest of the EU importers to any significant extent.
V skladu s tem se začasno sklene, da uvedba začasnih protidampinških ukrepov ne bo bistveno negativno vplivala na interes uvoznikov EU.
Interest of the raw material suppliers in the Union
Interes dobaviteljev surovin v Uniji
Three raw material suppliers (two of PTA and one of MEG) cooperated with the investigation by submitting the questionnaire reply within the set time limit.
Trije dobavitelji surovin (dva dobavitelja PTA in en dobavitelj MEG) so sodelovali v preiskavi in v določenem roku predložili izpolnjen vprašalnik.
The staff employed in their European facilities and involved in the production of PTA / MEG was around 700.
V njihovih evropskih objektih je zaposlenih in v proizvodnjo PTA/MEG vključenih približno 700 oseb.
The cooperating PTA producers represent around 50 % of the PTA purchases of the sampled Union producers.
Sodelujoči proizvajalci PTA predstavljajo približno 50 % nakupov PTA vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
PTA producers are heavily dependant on the state of the PET producers that constitute their major clients.
Proizvajalci PTA so zelo odvisni od stanja proizvajalcev PET, ki so njihove glavne stranke.
Low prices of PET translate into lower prices of PTA and lower margins for the PTA producers.
Nizke cene PET pomenijo nizke cene PTA in nižje stopnje dobička za proizvajalce PTA.
It is noted that there is an ongoing anti-dumping and an anti-subsidy investigation concerning imports of PTA originating in Thailand, meaning that the EU PTA producers may also face unfair competition from Thai imports.
Opozoriti je treba, da poteka protidampinška in protisubvencijska preiskava v zvezi z uvozom PTA s poreklom iz Tajske, kar pomeni, da se lahko proizvajalci PTA v EU soočajo tudi z nelojalno konkurenco tajskega uvoza.
Consequently, it is considered that the imposition of measures on the dumped imports of PET would benefit the PTA producers.
Zato se sklene, da bi uvedba ukrepov za dampinški uvoz PET koristila proizvajalcem PTA.
For the cooperating MEG supplier, MEG represents less than 10 % of its total turnover.
MEG predstavlja manj kot 10 % celotnega prometa sodelujočega dobavitelja MEG.
Given the above, it is provisionally concluded that imposition of measures on the dumped imports from the UAE and Iran would be in the interest of raw material suppliers.
Glede na navedeno se začasno sklene, da bi bila uvedba ukrepov za dampinški uvoz iz ZAE in Irana v interesu dobaviteljev surovin.
PET subject to this proceeding (i.e. with the viscosity number of 78 ml/g or higher, so called ‘bottle grade’) is mostly used to produce bottles for water and other drinks.
PET, ki je predmet tega postopka (tj. z viskoznostjo 78 ml/g ali več, za izdelavo plastenk), se večinoma uporablja za proizvodnjo plastenk za vodo in druge pijače.
Its use for the production of other packages (solid foodstuff or detergents) and to produce sheet is developing, but it remains relatively limited.
Njegova uporaba za proizvodnjo drugih embalaž (trdih živil ali čistilnih sredstev) in za proizvodnjo folije se razvija, vendar je še vedno razmeroma omejena.
Bottles of PET are produced in two stages: (i) first a pre-form is made by mould injection of PET and (ii) later the pre-form is heated and blown into a bottle.
Proizvodnja plastenk PET poteka v dveh fazah: (i) najprej se izdela predforma z vbrizgavanjem PET v kalupe; (ii) nato se predforma segreje in oblikuje v plastenko.
Bottle making can be an integrated process (i.e. the same company buys PET, produces a pre-form and blows it into the bottle) or limited to the second stage (blowing the pre-form into a bottle).
Proizvodnja plastenk je lahko povezan proces (tj. ista družba kupi PET, izdela predformo, ki jo nato oblikuje v plastenko) ali je omejena na drugo fazo (oblikovanje predforme v plastenko).
Pre-forms can be relatively easily transported as they are small and dense, while empty bottles are instable and due to their size very expensive to transport.
Predforme se lahko razmeroma enostavno prevažajo, ker so majhne in kompaktne, medtem ko so prazne plastenke nestabilne, njihov prevoz pa je zaradi velikosti zelo drag.
PET bottles are filled with water and/or other beverages by the bottling companies (‘bottlers’).
Plastenke PET z vodo in/ali drugimi pijačami napolnijo družbe za polnjenje (v nadaljnjem besedilu: polnilci).
The bottling companies are often involved in the PET business either via integrated bottle making operations or via tolling agreements with subcontracted converters and/or bottle makers for whom they negotiate the PET price with the producer (soft tolling) or even buy the PET for their own bottles (hard tolling).
Družbe za polnjenje so v dejavnost PET pogosto vključene prek povezanih dejavnosti izdelave plastenk ali sporazumov o podizvajanju s podizvajalcem predelovalcem in/ali izdelovalcem plastenk, za katerega v pogajanjih s proizvajalcem določijo ceno PET („mehko“ podizvajanje) ali celo kupijo PET za svoje plastenke („strogo“ podizvajanje).
Consequently, two groups of users may be distinguished:
Zato se uporabniki delijo na dve skupini:
converters and/or bottle makers — that buy PET directly from producers, convert it into pre-forms (or bottles) and sell it further for downstream processing (or filling), and
predelovalci in/ali izdelovalci plastenk – ki kupijo PET neposredno od proizvajalcev in ga predelajo v predforme (ali plastenke), ki jih prodajo za nadaljnjo fazo v postopku (ali polnjenje), in
bottlers — that buy PET for their subcontracting bottle makers/converters (hard tolling) or negotiate the price for which the subcontracted converter and/or bottle maker will get the PET (soft tolling).
polnilci – ki kupijo PET za svoje podizvajalce izdelovalce plastenk/predelovalce („strogo“ podizvajanje) ali v pogajanjih določijo ceno, po kateri bo podizvajalec predelovalec in/ali izdelovalec plastenk kupil PET („mehko“ podizvajanje).
Converters
Predelovalci
The producers of pre-forms are the main users of the bottle grade PET.
Proizvajalci predform so glavni uporabniki PET za izdelavo plastenk.
Four converters, representing 16 % of the Union consumption in the IP, fully cooperated with the investigation (i.e. submitted full questionnaire replies within the time limits).
Štirje predelovalci, ki predstavljajo 16 % potrošnje Unije v OP, so v celoti sodelovali v preiskavi (tj. so v rokih predložili v celoti izpolnjene vprašalnike).
