It finally pointed out that the Commission could not re-impose anti-dumping measures based on information relating to 2005, a period that is more than four years prior to the initiation of the partial re-opening of the investigation as this would not be in line with Article 6(1) of the basic Regulation.
Na koncu je poudaril, da Komisija ne more ponovno uvesti protidampinških ukrepov na podlagi podatkov iz leta 2005, več kot štiri leta pred delno ponovno uvedbo preiskave, saj to ne bi bilo v skladu s členom 6(1) osnovne uredbe.
Furthermore, Zheijang Harmonic argued that the Commission could not reopen the case because it has lost its objectivity and impartiality since the contested Regulation proposed by the Commission was partially annulled by the Court of Justice.
Poleg tega je družba Zheijang Harmonic trdila, da Komisija ne more obnoviti zadeve, ker ni objektivna in nepristranska, saj je izpodbijano uredbo, ki jo je predlagala, Sodišče razglasilo za delno nično.
The two unrelated Union importers/producers did not submit any information and data as to the legal merits of the re-investigation but rather emphasised their role as players in the Union’s ironing boards market.
Dva nepovezana uvoznika/proizvajalca Unije nista predložila nobenih pravno relevantnih informacij in podatkov v zvezi s ponovno preiskavo, vendar sta poudarila njuno vlogo na trgu likalnih desk Unije.
One of them also pointed out the repercussions of the Court of Justice’s annulment and the subsequent partial reopening of the investigation on their business.
Eden od njiju je tudi poudaril vpliv razglasitve ničnosti Sodišča in poznejše delne ponovne uvedbe preiskave na njuno poslovanje.
The Union industry argued that Union producers pay the price for the irregularity identified by the Court of Justice as they are left without protection against imports that were found to be dumped and causing injury.
Industrija Unije je trdila, da proizvajalci Unije plačujejo ceno za nepravilnost, ki jo je ugotovilo Sodišče, saj niso zaščiteni proti uvozu, ki je dokazano dampinški in povzroča škodo.
The Union industry proposed that the procedure be resumed at the stage where the Commission’s irregularity occurred i.e. at the time when the Chinese company had to submit its comments on the Commission’s revised definitive disclosure document of 23 March 2007, the party’s comments be decided upon and the new proposal limited to the situation of Foshan Shunde be sent to the Council, with the aim of reinstating the anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards produced by Foshan Shunde.
Industrija Unije je predlagala, da se postopek nadaljuje v fazi, ko se je pojavila nepravilnost Komisije, torej ko je kitajska družba morala predložiti svoje pripombe k revidiranemu dokumentu Komisije o dokončnem razkritju z dne 23. marca 2007, da se proučijo pripombe strani in da se Svetu pošlje nov predlog, ki zajema le družbo Foshan Shunde z namenom ponovne uvedbe protidampinške dajatve na uvoz likalnih desk proizvajalca Foshan Shunde.
The Union industry also submitted that a similar approach was followed in the past (i.e. in the judgments in the IPS case, the IPS appeal case, and in Council Regulation (EC) No 235/2004 [8] adopted following the judgment of the Court of Justice in case C-76/00 P Petrotub and Republica v Council).
Industrija Unije je tudi navedla, da je v preteklosti že prišlo do podobnega pristopa (torej v sodbah v zadevi IPS, pritožbi IPS in Uredbi Sveta (ES) št. 235/2004 [8], ki je bila sprejeta po sodbi Sodišča v zadevi C-76/00 P, Petrotub SA and Republica SA proti Svetu).
Moreover, according to this party the 15-month time-limit of the basic Regulation does not apply to the amendment of a Regulation imposing anti-dumping duties in order to implement a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Poleg tega po mnenju te stranke se 15-mesečni rok iz osnovne uredbe ne uporablja za spremembo uredbe o uvedbi protidampinških dajatev z namenom izvajanja sodbe Sodišča Evropske unije.
Analysis of comments
Analiza pripomb
It is recalled that the Court of Justice has rejected all the substantive arguments of Foshan Shunde referring to the merits of the case.
Treba je opozoriti, da je Sodišče zavrnilo vse vsebinske argumente družbe Foshan Shunde v zvezi z zadevo.
Thus, the Union institutions’ obligation is focused on correcting the part of the administrative procedure where the irregularity occurred in the initial investigation.
Zato je obveznost institucij Unije osredotočena na popravek tistega dela upravnega postopka, pri katerem se je pojavila nepravilnost v začetni preiskavi.
The claim that the introduction of deadlines, 15 months and 18 months respectively, to conclude anti-dumping investigations prevents the Commission from following the approach underlying the IPS case was found to be unwarranted.
Trditev, da uvedba rokov, torej 15 mesecev in 18 mesecev, za zaključek protidampinških preiskav Komisiji onemogoča, da nadaljuje s pristopom, na katerem temelji zadeva IPS, je bila ugotovljena za neutemeljeno.
It is considered that this deadline is not relevant for the implementation of a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Šteje se, da ta rok ni relevanten za izvršitev sodbe Sodišča Evropske unije.
Indeed, such deadline only governs the completion of the original investigation from the date of initiation to the date of definitive action, and does not concern any subsequent action that might have to be taken for instance as a result of judicial review.
Takšen rok ureja le zaključek začetne preiskave od datuma začetka do datuma dokončnega ukrepa in ne zadeva nobenega poznejšega ukrepa, ki ga je morebiti treba sprejeti na primer zaradi ponovne sodne presoje.
Furthermore, it is noted that any other interpretation would mean that a successful legal action brought by the Union industry would be without any practical effect for that party if it is accepted that the expiry of the time-limit to conclude the original investigation would not allow for the implementation of a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da bi kakršna koli druga razlaga pomenila, da uspešna rešitev pravnega spora, ki ga sproži industrija Unije, za navedeno stran ne bi imela praktičnega učinka, če se sprejme stališče, da iztek roka za zaključitev začetne preiskave onemogoča izvršitev sodbe Sodišča Evropske unije.
This would be at odds with the principle that all parties should have the possibility of effective judicial review.
To bi bilo v nasprotju z načelom, da bi vse stranke morale imeti pravico do učinkovite ponovne sodne presoje.
It is also recalled that the General Court in its judgment in joint cases T-163/94 and T-165/94 [9] has held that even the soft deadline applicable under the old basic Regulation could not be stretched beyond reasonable limits and found that an investigation lasting for more than three years was too long.
Treba je tudi opozoriti, da je Splošno sodišče v svoji sodbi v skupnih zadevah T-163/94 in T-165/94 [9] razsodilo, da se nezavezujoč rok iz prejšnje osnovne uredbe ne more podaljšati prek razumnih meja in da je preiskava, ki traja že več kot tri leta, predolga.
This contrasts with the IPS case where the implementation of the Court of Justice judgment occurred seven years after the initiation of the original investigation and the Court of Justice judgment contains no indication that deadlines were an issue.
To je v nasprotju z zadevo IPS, pri kateri se je sodba Sodišča izvajala sedem let po začetku začetne preiskave, v sodbi pa niso navedeni nikakršni pomisleki v zvezi z roki.
Therefore, it is concluded that Article 6(9) of the basic Regulation applies to the initiation of proceedings and the conclusion of the investigation initiated pursuant to Article 5(9) of the basic Regulation only and not to a partial reopening of an investigation with a view to implementing a judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union.
Zato se sklene, da se člen 6(9) osnovne uredbe uporablja le za začetek postopka in zaključek preiskave, začete v skladu s členom 5(9) osnovne uredbe, in ne za delno ponovno uvedbo preiskave zaradi izvršitve sodbe Sodišča Evropske unije.
This conclusion is in line with the approach taken for the implementation of WTO panels and Appellate Body reports where it is accepted that institutions could amend deficiencies of a regulation imposing anti-dumping duties in order to comply with dispute settlement body reports, including in cases concerning the Union [10].
Ta sklep je v skladu s pristopom, uporabljenim za izvajanje poročil odborov STO in pritožbenega organa STO, za katerega velja, da institucije lahko spremenijo pomanjkljivosti uredbe o uvedbi protidampinške dajatve, zaradi uskladitve s poročili organa za reševanje sporov, kar vključuje tudi primere v zvezi z Unijo [10].
In such cases it was felt necessary to adopt special procedures to implement WTO panel and Appellate Body reports because of the lack of direct applicability of such reports in the Union legal order, by contrast with the judgments of the Court of Justice which are directly applicable.
V takšnih primerih se je zdelo primerno sprejeti posebne postopke za izvajanje poročil odbora STO in pritožbenega organa STO, ker se v pravnem redu Unije takšna poročila ne uporabljajo neposredno, za razliko od sodb Sodišča, ki se uporabljajo neposredno.
With respect to the arguments submitted on the application of Article 6(1) of the basic Regulation it is noted that no infringement of Article 6(1) of the basic Regulation could be established since the Commission has not opened a new proceeding but reopened the original investigation to implement the Court of Justice judgment.
V zvezi s pripombami o uporabi člena 6(1) osnovne uredbe je treba opozoriti, da ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti kršitve člena 6(1) osnovne uredbe, ker Komisija ni začela novega postopka, temveč je začetno preiskavo obnovila zaradi izvajanja sodbe Sodišča.
With respect to the argument that Foshan Shunde should receive the disclosure document of 20 February 2007 and not the revised disclosure document of 23 March 2007 it is noted that in line with the Court of Justice judgment the Commission should correct the procedural irregularity.
V zvezi s trditvijo, da bi morala družba Foshan Shunde prejeti dokument o razkritju z dne 20. februarja 2007 in ne revidirani dokument o razkritju z dne 23. marca 2007 je treba opozoriti, da mora Komisija v skladu s sodbo Sodišča odpraviti postopkovno nepravilnost.
This administrative irregularity only happened when Foshan Shunde received less than 10 days to comment on the revised disclosure document.
Do upravne nepravilnosti je prišlo, ko je družba Foshan Shunde prejela manj kot 10 dni za predložitev pripomb k revidiranemu dokumentu o razkritju.
Hence, the validity of the preceding steps of the original investigation were not affected by the Court of Justice judgment and does therefore not require to be reviewed in the context of the current partial reopening.
Zato veljavnost postopkovnih korakov začetne preiskave ni vplivala na sodbo Sodišča in se v okviru trenutne delne ponovne uvedbe njen pregled ne zahteva.
Account taken of the comments made by the parties and the analysis thereof it was concluded that the implementation of the Court of Justice judgment should take the form of re-disclosure to Foshan Shunde and all other interested parties of the revised definitive disclosure document of 23 March 2007 on the basis of which it was proposed to re-impose an anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards manufactured by Foshan Shunde by the contested Regulation.
Ob upoštevanju pripomb strank in njihove analize je bilo sklenjeno, da mora izvajanje sodbe Sodišča zajemati ponovno razkritje revidiranega dokumenta o dokončnem razkritju z dne 23. marca 2007 družbi Foshan Shunde in vsem drugim zainteresiranim strankam, na podlagi katerega je bila predlagana uvedba protidampinške dajatve na uvoz likalnih desk, ki jih proizvaja Foshan Shunde, na podlagi izpodbijane uredbe.
On the basis of the above it was also concluded that the Commission should give Foshan Shunde and all other interested parties enough time to provide comments on the revised definitive disclosure document of 23 March 2007 and then evaluate such comments in order to determine whether to make a proposal to the Council to re-impose the anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards manufactured by Foshan Shunde on the basis of the facts relating to the original investigation period.
Na podlagi navedenega je bilo tudi sklenjeno, da mora Komisija družbi Foshan Shunde in vsem drugim zainteresiranim stranem zagotoviti dovolj časa za predložitev pripomb k revidiranemu dokumentu o dokončnem razkritju z dne 23. marca 2007, te pripombe nato analizirati ter se odločiti, ali bo Svetu predlagala ponovno uvedbo protidampinške dajatve na uvoz likalnih desk proizvajalca Foshan Shunde na podlagi dejstev v zvezi z obdobjem začetne preiskave.
Interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to implement the Court of Justice judgment.
Zainteresirane strani so bile obveščene o osnovnih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih bi morala biti izvršena sodba Sodišča.
All interested parties were given an opportunity to comment, applying the 10-day period prescribed in Article 20(5) of the basic Regulation.
Vse zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da predložijo pripombe v 10-dnevnem roku iz člena 20(5) osnovne uredbe.
Their comments were considered and taken into account, where appropriate, but they were not of a nature as to change the above conclusions.
Njihove pripombe so bile preučene in po potrebi upoštevane, vendar pa se zaradi njih navedeni sklepi niso spremenili.
Foshan Shunde and all other interested parties received the revised definitive disclosure document dated 23 March 2007 on the basis of which it was proposed to re-impose the anti-dumping duty on imports of ironing boards from Foshan Shunde on the basis of the facts relating to the original investigation period.
Družba Foshan Shunde in vse druge zainteresirane strani so prejele revidiran dokument o dokončnem razkritju z dne 23. marca 2007, na podlagi katerega je bila predlagana ponovna uvedba protidampinške dajatve na uvoz likalnih desk proizvajalca Foshan Shunde, ki je temeljila na podatkih v zvezi z obdobjem začetne preiskave.
In the light of the comments made, the following can be observed.
Glede na predložene pripombe se lahko ugotovi naslednje.
The course of action taken in this Regulation is based on the fact that, in the Court of Justice judgment, it is emphasised that Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation cannot be interpreted in such a manner as to oblige the Commission to propose to the Council definitive measures which would perpetuate an error of assessment made in the original assessment of the substantive criteria of that provision [11].
Potek ukrepanja v tej uredbi temelji na dejstvu, da je Sodišče v sodbi poudarilo, da se člen 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe ne more razlagati tako, da zavezuje Komisijo, da Svetu predlaga dokončne ukrepe, ki bi v veljavi ohranjali napako, storjeno pri začetni presoji vsebinskih meril navedene določbe [11].
Although the Court of Justice made this comment in relation to an error to the detriment of the applicant in that case, it is clear that this interpretation should be applied in an even-handed manner, meaning that also an error to the detriment of the Union industry can not be perpetuated.
Čeprav je Sodišče to pripomnilo v zvezi z napako, ki bi v navedenem primeru škodila pritožnici, je jasno, da je treba to razlago uporabljati uravnoteženo, torej da se ne sme ohranjati v veljavi napake v škodo industriji Unije.
As stated in the revised final disclosure document of 23 March 2007 and in the revised specific disclosure document of the same date, and in earlier letters by the Commission to the applicant on which those documents are based, Foshan Shunde should be refused MET because its accounting practices had various serious deficiencies and were therefore not in line with International Accounting Standards.
Kakor je navedeno v revidiranem dokumentu o dokončnem razkritju z dne 23. marca 2007 in revidiranem dokumentu o posebnem razkritju z istega dne ter v predhodnih dopisih Komisije vložniku, na katerih temeljita navedena dokumenta, se družbi Foshan Shunde ne sme odobriti statusa tržnega gospodarstva, ker je bilo v njenih računovodskih praksah nekaj resnih pomanjkljivosti, ki zato niso bili v skladu z Mednarodnimi računovodskimi standardi.
This violation of the second criterion in Article 2(7) can not be remedied by the statistics referred to in the last sentence of paragraph 12 of the Court of Justice judgment.
Ta kršitev drugega merila iz člena 2(7) se ne more popraviti s statistiko iz zadnjega stavka odstavka 12 iz sodbe Sodišča.
The approach which was originally considered in the final disclosure document of 20 February 2007 should therefore be qualified as an error, which should be corrected.
Pristop, ki je bil najprej obravnavan v dokumentu o dokončnem razkritju z dne 20. februarja 2007, je treba označiti kot napako, ki jo je treba popraviti.
In the interest of protecting the Union industry against dumping, the resulting anti-dumping duty on the applicant should be re-imposed as soon as possible.
Zaradi varovanja industrije Unije proti dampingu je treba za vložnika čim prej ponovno uvesti protidampinško dajatev.
Following the disclosure of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend the re-imposition of definitive anti-dumping measures, one Chinese exporting producer proposed a price undertaking in accordance with Article 8(1) of the basic Regulation.
Po razkritju bistvenih dejstev in premislekov, na podlagi katerih naj bi se priporočila ponovna uvedba dokončnih protidampinških dajatev, je en kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik predlagal cenovno zavezo v skladu s členom 8(1) osnovne uredbe.
However, this undertaking offer failed to provide any remedies with respect to the problems already highlighted in recital 68 of the contested Regulation, notably the need to establish meaningful minimum import prices for each of the numerous product types which could be properly monitored by the Commission without serious risk of circumvention.
Vendar se s ponujeno zavezo niso odpravile težave, ki so bile že navedene v uvodni izjavi 68 izpodbijane uredbe, in sicer potreba po vzpostavitvi najnižje uvozne cene za vsakega od številnih vrst izdelkov, ki bi jih Komisija lahko ustrezno spremljala brez velikega tveganja izogibanja.
Moreover, the price undertaking offer either suggested one average minimum price covering only one product type exported to the Union, or several minimum import prices based again on weighted average prices for combinations of some products.
Poleg tega se je s ponujeno cenovno zavezo predlagala ali ena povprečna najnižja cena, ki zajema le eno vrsto izdelka za izvoz v Unijo, ali več najnižjih uvoznih cen, ki ponovno temeljijo na tehtanemu povprečju cen za kombinacije nekaterih izdelkov.
Furthermore, all the proposed combinations for minimum import price were significantly lower than the highest established export prices.
Prav tako so bile vse predlagane kombinacije za najnižjo uvozno ceno znatno nižje od najvišjih izvoznih cen.
On the basis of the above, it was concluded that such undertaking was impractical and therefore it cannot be accepted.
Na podlagi navedenega je bilo sklenjeno, da je takšna zaveza nepraktična in se je zato ne more sprejeti.
The party was informed accordingly and given an opportunity to comment.
Stran je bila o tem ustrezno obveščena in je imela možnost predložiti pripombe.
However, its comments have not altered the above conclusion.
Vendar njene pripombe niso spremenile sklepne ugotovitve.
DURATION OF MEASURES
TRAJANJE UKREPOV
This procedure does not affect the date on which the measures imposed by the contested Regulation will expire pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation,
