As far as the other elements are concerned, they are either purely speculative and/or were not sufficiently substantiated or quantified as to draw any meaningful conclusions thereon.
Drugi elementi pa so bodisi popolnoma spekulativni in/ali niso bili dovolj utemeljeni ali količinsko opredeljeni, da bi se lahko iz tega izpeljale kakršne koli smiselne ugotovitve.
It should also be noted that it is erroneous to assume that export prices are necessarily based on the level of the cost of production, since various other factors may also have an impact on the price level such as government policies or questions of supply and demand.
Prav tako je treba poudariti, da je napačno domnevati, da morajo izvozne cene temeljiti na stroških proizvodnje, saj lahko na raven cen vplivajo tudi različni drugi dejavniki, kot so vladne politike ali vprašanja glede ponudbe in povpraševanja.
It was also found that in third country markets where anti-dumping duties are not in force, Chinese export prices during the RIP were at levels lower than those to the Union.
Prav tako je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bile na trgih tretjih držav, na katerih protidampinške dajatve ne veljajo, kitajske izvozne cene med OPP na nižjih ravneh kot cene za izvoz v Unijo.
It was therefore concluded that there was a continuation of dumping and a likelihood of an increased volume of dumped imports exerting a downward pressure on prices in the Union, at least in the short term, if measures were repealed.
Zato je bilo ugotovljeno, da se damping nadaljuje in je verjetno povečanje obsega dampinškega uvoza, ki bi ob morebitni razveljavitvi ukrepov povzročilo pritisk, da se cene v Uniji vsaj kratkoročno znižajo.
Based on the above, there is no reason to believe that PRC prices will increase.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega ni mogoče domnevati, da se bodo cene LRK zvišale.
Consequently, there is a likelihood of recurrence of injury as this would negatively affect the Union industry’s profitability as well as its financial recovery observed during the RIP.
Zato obstaja verjetnost ponovitve škode, saj bi to negativno vplivalo na dobičkonosnost industrije Unije in njeno finančno okrevanje, ugotovljeno med OPP.
During a period of increasing consumption, the market share of the Union industry and the market share of imports from third countries decreased, while the market share of the Chinese imports increased significantly.
V obdobju rastoče potrošnje sta se tržni delež industrije Unije in tržni delež uvoza iz tretjih držav zmanjšala, medtem ko se je tržni delež kitajskega uvoza znatno povečal.
In view of these mixed indicators (i.e. overall recovery by the Union industry, but loss of market share) and the fact that the RIP was an exceptionally favourable period in the economic cycle, the post-RIP developments were examined in order to get a clearer picture of likely future trends.
Glede na te mešane kazalnike (tj. splošno okrevanje industrije Unije, vendar izguba tržnega deleža) in dejstvo, da je bilo OPP izjemno ugodno obdobje v gospodarskem ciklusu, je bil preučen razvoj po OPP, da bi se ustvarila jasnejša slika verjetnih prihodnjih gibanj.
It should also be recalled that the likelihood of recurrence of injury caused by downward pressure on prices may also be accentuated by the evolution of the global economy and its effects on demand and consumption.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da verjetnost ponovitve škode zaradi pritiska na nižanje cen lahko še poveča razvoj globalnega gospodarstva ter njegovih učinkov na povpraševanje in potrošnjo.
Based on adjusted Eurostat data and the information provided by the Union industry on the development of sales volumes and prices in the Union for the period from January 2009 to September 2009, a clear and continuous downward trend in the Union industry’s sales volume on the Union market could be observed.
Na podlagi prilagojenih podatkov Eurostata in informacij, ki jih je zagotovila industrija Unije, o gibanju obsega prodaje in cen v Uniji za obdobje med januarjem 2009 in septembrom 2009, je mogoče ugotoviti jasno in stalno upadanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije.
Sales volume amounted to 52 % of the quantity sold in the corresponding 9 months of 2008 although average selling prices remained at the same level as in 2008 due to long-term contracts and production cuts.
Obseg prodaje je znašal 52 % količine, prodane v ustreznih devetih mesecih leta 2008, čeprav so povprečne prodajne cene zaradi dolgoročnih pogodb in zmanjšanj proizvodnje ostale na isti ravni kot v letu 2008.
As far as the Union industry’s profitability was concerned the negative development was significant.
Dobičkonosnost industrije Unije se je znatno zmanjšala.
Profit levels shrank continuously and fell to low levels and even below the 6,5 % target profit set during the original investigation.
Stopnje dobička so se nenehno zniževale in padle na nizko raven ter celo pod 6,5-odstotni ciljni dobiček, določen med prvotno preiskavo.
It is noted that due to the global economic crisis, demand in the Union decreased significantly.
Poudariti je treba, da se je zaradi svetovne gospodarske krize povpraševanje v Uniji znatno zmanjšalo.
This had a negative impact on sales volumes and profitability on the Union market.
To je negativno vplivalo na obseg prodaje in dobičkonosnost na trgu Unije.
The financial position of the Union industry deteriorated, making the Union industry more vulnerable.
Finančni položaj industrije Unije se je poslabšal, zato je postala ranljivejša.
Under these circumstances the Union industry would not be in a position to overcome the negative impact of increased dumped imports from the PRC.
V teh razmerah industrija Unije ne more preseči negativnega učinka večjega dampinškega uvoza iz LRK.
This situation is likely to deteriorate further due to the pressure of such imports.
Ta položaj se bo zaradi pritiska takega uvoza verjetno še slabšal.
Chinese imports decreased both in terms of volumes and prices with the former being more substantial.
Kitajski uvoz se je zmanjšal v smislu količine in cen, pri čemer je bilo zmanjšanje količine večje.
In terms of prices Chinese imports prices decreased more than the Union industry prices (8 % over 2 % respectively).
Kitajske uvozne cene so se znižale bolj kot cene industrije Unije (za 8 % v primerjavi z 2 %).
No undercutting or underselling was found for the post RIP period.
V obdobju po OPP ni bilo ugotovljeno nelojalno nižanje prodajnih ali ciljnih cen.
However, if measures had not been in place Chinese import prices would have undercut those of the Union industry by 3 % and there would have been an underselling of 11 %.
Če ukrepi ne bi veljali, bi kitajske uvozne cene nelojalno znižale prodajne cene industrije Unije za 3 %, ciljne cene pa bi se nelojalno znižale za 11 %.
In addition, it was found that if measures were lifted, import prices for quantities destined for the free market would have undercut those of the Union industry by 22 % and the underselling would have been up to 38 %.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi v primeru umika ukrepov uvozne cene za količine, namenjene za prosti trg, nelojalno znižale prodajne cene industrije Unije za 22 %, nelojalno nižanje ciljnih cen pa bi znašalo do 38 %.
It was also found that Chinese export prices in third country markets not protected by anti-dumping duties were at much lower levels than those to the Union compared with those found during the RIP, as mentioned in recital 123.
Prav tako je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bile kitajske cene za izvoz na trge tretjih držav, ki niso zaščiteni s protidampinškimi dajatvami, na veliko nižji ravni kot enakovredne cene za Unijo v primerjavi s tistimi, ugotovljenimi med OPP, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 123.
This shows that in times of economic downturn the downward pressure on prices increases.
To kaže, da se ob upadu gospodarske rasti pritisk na nižanje cen poveča.
On the basis of the above, and given the clear downward trend of the Union industry’s financial situation, it was concluded that a recurrence of injury was likely should measures be allowed to lapse.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega in glede na nedvomno slabšanje finančnega stanja industrije Unije je bilo sklenjeno, da bi se ob morebitnem izteku ukrepov škoda verjetno ponovila.
It is considered that if measures were repealed, there would be a likelihood of a significant increase in dumped imports from the PRC to the Union, with downward pressure on prices.
Šteje se, da bi bilo ob razveljavitvi ukrepov verjetno, da bi se dampinški uvoz iz LRK v Unijo znatno povečal, kar bi povzročilo pritisk na nižanje cen.
Such a situation would not only endanger the substantial investments made by the Union industry to develop and upgrade its production but also the development of a new production for solar silicon which is a future market.
Tak položaj bi ogrozil ne le znatne naložbe industrije Unije v razvoj in posodobitev njene proizvodnje, ampak tudi razvoj nove proizvodnje solarnega silicija, ki je prihodnji trg.
Furthermore, the likelihood of the recurrence of injury is magnified by the recent economic downturn.
Poleg tega verjetnost ponovitve škode povečuje tudi nedavni gospodarski upad.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation it was examined whether the continuation of the existing anti-dumping measures would be against the interest of the Union as a whole.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je bilo preučeno, ali bi bilo nadaljevanje obstoječih protidampinških ukrepov v nasprotju s splošnim interesom Unije.
The determination of Union interest was based on an appreciation of the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Union industry, importers/traders and users of the product concerned.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na presoji različnih vključenih interesov, tj. interesov industrije Unije, uvoznikov/trgovcev in uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
It is recalled that in the previous reviews the adoption of measures was not considered to be against the Union interest.
Opozoriti je treba, da se v prejšnjih pregledih ni štelo, da je sprejetje ukrepov v nasprotju z interesom Unije.
Furthermore, as the present investigation is an expiry review, it requires analysis of a situation in which anti-dumping measures have already been in place and the assessment of any undue negative impact on the parties concerned by the current anti-dumping measures.
Ker je poleg tega sedanja preiskava pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa, sta potrebni analiza stanja, v katerem že veljajo protidampinški ukrepi, in ocena vsakršnega nepotrebnega negativnega učinka, ki ga imajo sedanji protidampinški ukrepi na zadevne strani.
On this basis it was examined whether there were compelling reasons which would lead to the conclusion that it was not in the Union interest to maintain measures in this particular case, despite the above conclusions on the likelihood of continuation of dumping and the likelihood of recurrence of injury.
Na podlagi tega je bilo preučeno, ali kljub zgornjim ugotovitvam o verjetnosti nadaljevanja dampinga in ponovitve škode obstajajo nujni razlogi, na podlagi katerih bi bilo mogoče skleniti, da v tem konkretnem primeru ohranitev ukrepov ni v interesu Unije.
Interests of the Union industry
Interesi industrije Unije
It is recalled that the high profit margins achieved in 2007 and the RIP were the result of the increase in selling prices.
Treba je opozoriti, da so bile visoke stopnje dobička, dosežene v letu 2007 in OPP, posledica povišanja prodajnih cen.
This factor was not expected to continue in the coming years.
Ta dejavnik naj se v prihodnjih letih ne bi nadaljeval.
The Union industry has proven to be a viable and competitive industry, able to adapt to the changing conditions of the market.
Industrija Unije je dokazala, da je uspešna in konkurenčna industrija, ki se lahko prilagaja spremenljivim razmeram na trgu.
This was confirmed in particular by the positive development of all main injury indicators during the period considered.
To je potrdil zlasti pozitiven razvoj vseh glavnih kazalnikov škode v obravnavanem obdobju.
The continuation of measures since the last expiry review had contributed to the restoration of the financial situation of the Union industry and in particular of the price levels on the Union market.
Nadaljevanje ukrepov od zadnjega pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa je prispevalo k ponovnemu izboljšanju finančnega položaja industrije Unije in zlasti ravni cen na trgu Unije.
During the period considered the Union industry demonstrated its commitment to the Union silicon market and improved its efficiency significantly.
Industrija Unije je med obravnavanim obdobjem dokazala zavezanost trgu silicija v Uniji in znatno izboljšala svojo učinkovitost.
The Union industry made substantial investments in increasing not only its production capacity but also in developing research and technology in the metallurgical process for the production of high purity silicon for the solar energy industries.
Industrija Unije je izvedla znatne naložbe v povečanje svoje proizvodne zmogljivosti ter razvoj raziskav in tehnologije v metalurškem procesu za proizvodnjo silicija večje čistosti za industrije sončne energije.
The solar silicon market is a new market with excellent future prospects due to the expected increase in the use of solar energy in the coming years.
Trg solarnega silicija je nov trg z odličnimi obeti za prihodnost zaradi pričakovanega povečanja uporabe sončne energije v prihodnjih letih.
It is therefore vital for the Union industry to participate in this new market.
Zato je za industrijo Unije pomembno, da sodeluje na tem novem trgu.
In this respect, two of the Union producers have plans to construct two new plants for solar silicon in the Union to cover part of the Union market’s needs.
V zvezi s tem dva proizvajalca Unije načrtujeta gradnjo dveh novih obratov za solarni silicij v Uniji za pokritje dela potreb na trgu Unije.
It should be noted that the investments made in this new niche market are highly dependent on the existence of the traditional production of silicon in the EU which is the main raw material used in the production of solar silicon.
Treba je poudariti, da so naložbe v to novo tržno nišo močno odvisne od obstoja tradicionalne proizvodnje silicija v EU, ki je glavna surovina za proizvodnjo solarnega silicija.
Moreover, one of the Union producers has announced its plans to invest in new facilities in the PRC to cover the expected increased needs of the Chinese market for both traditional silicon and solar silicon.
Poleg tega je eden od proizvajalcev Unije objavil načrte za vlaganje v nove obrate v LRK za pokritje pričakovanih večjih potreb po tradicionalnem in solarnem siliciju na kitajskem trgu.
As mentioned above, if measures were allowed to lapse the risk of recurrence of injury is very likely and would endanger the recent investments made by the Union industry.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, je tveganje za ponovitev škode ob morebitnem izteku ukrepov zelo verjetno in bi ogrozilo nedavne naložbe industrije Unije.
It is therefore in the interests of the Union industry that measures against the dumped imports from the PRC be maintained.
Zato je v interesu industrije Unije, da se ukrepi proti dampinškemu uvozu iz LRK ohranijo.
Replies were received from two unrelated importers which were also users of the product concerned.
Odgovore sta posredovala dva nepovezana uvoznika, ki sta bila tudi uporabnika zadevnega izdelka.
These companies’ comments are dealt with under the section on interests of users below.
Pripombe teh družb so obravnavane spodaj v oddelku o interesih uporabnikov.
One importer/trader made itself known but did not reply to the questionnaire.
En uvoznik/trgovec se je javil, vendar ni odgovoril na vprašalnik.
In view of the fact that, aside from sourcing from the PRC, the importers also have access to a supply of silicon from both Union producers and third country sources free of anti-dumping duties, such as Norway and Brazil, which have more than 56 % of the Union market share, it is considered that competition on the Union market is ensured.
Glede na dejstvo, da imajo uvozniki poleg pridobivanja blaga iz LRK dostop tudi do dobave silicija od proizvajalcev Unije in virov v tretjih državah, v katerih niso uvedene protidampinške dajatve, kot sta Norveška in Brazilija, ki imata več kot 56-odstotni tržni delež v Uniji, se šteje, da je konkurenca na trgu Unije zagotovljena.
On the basis of the above and given the lack of cooperation by any trader or any indication to the contrary, it was concluded that the current measures in force had no substantial negative effect on their financial situation and that the continuation of the measures would not affect the importers.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega in zaradi nesodelovanja trgovcev ali pomanjkanja nasprotnih dokazov je bilo ugotovljeno, da sedanji veljavni ukrepi nimajo pomembnejšega negativnega učinka na njihovo finančno stanje in da nadaljevanje ukrepov ne bo vplivalo na uvoznike.
It is recalled that EUSMET, an association of users in the chemical sector, lodged the current interim review limited to dumping.
Treba je opozoriti, da je EUSMET, združenje uporabnikov v kemičnem sektorju, vložilo zahtevek za sedanji vmesni pregled, omejen na damping.
The Commission sent questionnaires to all known unrelated users and their associations.
Komisija je poslala vprašalnike vsem znanim nepovezanim uporabnikom in njihovim združenjem.
Twelve users cooperated in the investigation, some of them being the main importers of Chinese silicon placed under the Inward Processing Regime.
V preiskavi je sodelovalo dvanajst uporabnikov, od katerih so bili nekateri glavni uvozniki kitajskega silicija, vključenega v postopek aktivnega oplemenitenja.
Additionally one other user association cooperated by submitting comments.
Poleg tega je sodelovalo še eno združenje uporabnikov, ki je predložilo pripombe.
The main industrial users of silicon in the Union are the chemical and aluminium industries which represent 60 % and 40 % of Union consumption respectively.
Glavna industrijska uporabnika silicija v Uniji sta kemična industrija in industrija aluminija, ki pomenita 60 % oziroma 40 % potrošnje v Uniji.
For the chemical industry silicon is the main raw material for the production of both silicones used in a plethora of applications, in particular in the automotive and construction industries and polysilicon used in the electronics and solar energy industries.
Za kemično industrijo je silicij glavna surovina za proizvodnjo silikonov, ki se uporabljajo za zelo različne namene, zlasti v avtomobilski industriji in gradbeništvu, ter polisilikona, ki se uporablja v elektroniki in industriji sončne energije.
The proportion of silicon in the cost of production of the various types of silicones and polysilicon varied from 2 to 35 % depending on the production process of each type of downstream product.
Delež silicija v stroških proizvodnje različnih vrst silikonov in polisilikona se je gibal med 2 % in 35 % glede na proizvodni proces za vsako vrsto izdelka s konca proizvodne verige.
On average, however, the proportion of silicon in the total cost of production of silicones ranged between 11 and 21 % while for polysilicons it ranged between 2 and 10 %.
V povprečju pa je bil delež silicija v skupnih stroških proizvodnje silikonov med 11 % in 21 %, za polisilikone pa med 2 % in 10 %.
With an anti-dumping duty of 19 %, the impact on the cost of production of those chemical users that source all of their silicon from the PRC is estimated to be between 2 and 4 %.
S protidampinško dajatvijo v višini 19 % je vpliv na stroške proizvodnje tistih uporabnikov v kemični industriji, ki ves silicij dobavljajo iz LRK, ocenjen na 2 %–4 %.
For other chemical users the impact will be lower.
Za druge uporabnike v kemični industriji bo vpliv nižji.
Some of the chemical companies cooperating in the investigation were the major importers of Chinese silicon placed under the Inward Processing Regime and thus free of anti-dumping duties.
Nekatera kemična podjetja, ki so sodelovala v preiskavi, so bila glavni uvozniki kitajskega silicija, vključenega v postopek aktivnega oplemenitenja, za katerega se torej ne zaračunajo protidampinške dajatve.
However, they argued that they could not absorb the duty or pass it on to their customers and that the Inward Processing Regime did not remove the burden created by the measures in force as they had to devote significant resources in burdensome customs and other administrative procedures.
Vendar so trdila, da ne morejo absorbirati dajatve ali je prenesti na stranke in da s postopkom aktivnega oplemenitenja ni bila odpravljena obremenitev, ki so jo povzročili veljavni ukrepi, saj so morali veliko sredstev nameniti obremenjujočim carinskim in drugim upravnim postopkom.
Moreover, they considered that they were driven to invest in new facilities in the PRC in order to be close to the source of cheap raw materials and become more competitive on the Asian market.
Poleg tega so menili, da so bili prisiljeni vlagati v nove obrate v LRK, da bi bili blizu vira poceni surovin in bi postali bolj konkurenčni na azijskem trgu.
For the aluminium industry silicon is also an important raw material for the production of casting alloys by the aluminium refiners.
Tudi za industrijo aluminija je silicij pomembna surovina za proizvodnjo zlitin za ulivanje v rafinerijah aluminija.
These alloys are used mainly by the automotive and construction industries.
Te zlitine se uporabljajo zlasti v avtomobilski industriji in gradbeništvu.
The proportion of silicon in their cost of production varied from 8 to 10 % depending on the quality of scrap they used which already contained silicon.
Delež silicija v njihovih proizvodnih stroških je nihal med 8 % in 10 %, odvisno od kakovosti uporabljenih ostankov, ki so že vsebovali silicij.
Most of the aluminium refiners cooperating in the investigation purchased silicon from other third countries not subject to anti-dumping duties due to the fact that their products are destined mainly for the Union market and they cannot, therefore, make use of the Inward Processing Regime.
Večina rafinerij aluminija, ki sodelujejo v preiskavi, je silicij kupovala od drugih tretjih držav, v katerih protidampinške dajatve niso bile uvedene, ker so njihovi izdelki večinoma namenjeni za trg Unije, zato ne morejo uporabiti postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja.
With an anti-dumping duty of 19 %, the impact on the cost of production of the aluminium users that source all their silicon from the PRC is estimated to be around 2 %.
S protidampinško dajatvijo v višini 19 % je vpliv na stroške proizvodnje tistih uporabnikov v industriji aluminija, ki ves silicij dobavljajo iz LRK, ocenjen na približno 2 %.
For other aluminium users the impact will be lower.
Za druge uporabnike v industriji aluminija bo vpliv nižji.
The investigation showed that aluminium refiners’ profitability was not particularly high and thus, increases in silicon prices have a negative impact on their profits due to their limited margin.
Preiskava je pokazala, da dobičkonosnost rafinerij aluminija ni bila posebno visoka in da so zvišanja cen silicija tako negativno vplivala na njihove dobičke zaradi njihove omejene stopnje.
The chemical industry had around 14000 employees and the aluminium industry 6000.
Kemična industrija ima okrog 14000 zaposlenih, industrija aluminija pa 6000.
During the period considered employment in the chemical industry increased by 8 % while in the aluminium industry it remained stable.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je zaposlenost v kemični industriji povečala za 8 %, medtem ko je v industriji aluminija ostala nespremenjena.
All users strongly opposed the continuation of measures on the grounds that measures had been in force for too long, that they artificially increased the price levels of silicon in the Union market irrespective of origin and that the Union industry had not suffered injury during the RIP.
Vsi uporabniki odločno nasprotujejo nadaljevanju ukrepov, ker naj bi veljali že predolgo, ker naj bi umetno zviševali ravni cen silicija na trgu Unije ne glede na njegovo poreklo in ker naj industrija Unije med OPP ne bi utrpela škode.
