The latter had as consequence an increase in sales volumes as well as an increase in sales price levels that were, by the end of the RIP, more prominent than the corresponding increases in the cost of production.
Slednje je imelo za posledico povečanje obsega prodaje in zvišanje ravni prodajnih cen, ki so do konca OPP bolj izstopale kot ustrezno zvišanje proizvodnih stroškov.
Profitability Union industry
Donosnost industrije Unije
The level of investments shows a non-linear evolution during the period considered.
Raven naložb med obravnavanim obdobjem kaže nelinearen razvoj.
The investments were, on the one hand, necessary for the maintenance of their manufacturing sites plans and, on the other hand, for moderate capacity additions in order to take advantage of the increase in consumption and to satisfy export needs.
Naložbe so bile po eni strani potrebne za vzdrževanje načrtov proizvodnih lokacij, po drugi strani pa za zmerno povečanje zmogljivosti za odziv na povečano povpraševanje in zadovoljitev potreb po izvozu.
The return on investment, expressed in terms of net profits of the Union industry and the net book value of its investments, shows a significant improving trend in the period considered.
Donosnost naložb, izražena v neto dobičkih industrije Unije in neto knjigovodskih vrednostih njenih naložb, se je v obravnavanem obdobju znatno izboljšala.
The Union industry’s cash flow also shows a substantial improvement in the period considered.
Denarni tok industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju prav tako kaže znatno izboljšanje.
The Union industry’s number of employees involved in the production of the like product increased modestly during the period considered.
Število zaposlenih v industriji Unije, ki je vključena v proizvodnjo podobnega izdelka, se je med obravnavanim obdobjem rahlo povečalo.
The Union industry was able to control the evolution of the average labour cost per employee during the period considered.
Industriji Unije je med obravnavanim obdobjem uspelo nadzorovati razvoj povprečnih stroškov dela na zaposlenega.
Productivity, expressed in terms of output per worker, slightly improved in the same period.
Produktivnost, izražena kot donos na delavca, se je v istem obdobju malo izboljšala.
The evolution in labour costs and productivity had a positive impact in keeping firm control over the production cost and helped the improvement of profit results.
Razvoj stroškov dela in produktivnosti je imel pozitiven učinek pri nadzorovanju stroškov proizvodnje in je pomagal pri izboljšanju rezultatov dobička.

As demonstrated above, the Union industry has had the chance to recover from past dumping in particular in terms of profitability, sales and market share.
Kot je prikazano zgoraj, je imela industrija Unije resnično možnost okrevati od preteklega dampinga, zlasti z vidika dobičkonosnosti, prodaje in tržnega deleža.
The Union industry’s export volumes to third countries increased by 21 % during the period considered.
Obseg izvoza industrije Unije v tretje države se je med obravnavanim obdobjem povečal za 21 %.
This significant amelioration started from 2007 and continued up to the RIP and was mainly attributed to the surge in demand for ethanolamines in the Asian markets due to production difficulties that occurred in these particular markets during the same period.
To znatno izboljšanje se je pričelo leta 2007 in se nadaljevalo do OPP, pripisuje se zlasti povečanju povpraševanja po etanolaminih na azijskih trgih zaradi težav s proizvodnjo, ki so se na teh trgih pojavile v istem obdobju.
Export sales prices have followed a similar pattern as Union prices.
Izvozne prodajne cene so se gibale podobno kot cene Unije.
This situation is again attributed to the fact that the period between 2007 and the RIP has been characterised by a significant tightening of the global supply/demand balance.
To se ponovno pripisuje dejstvu, da je obdobje med letom 2007 in OPP zaznamovalo znatno poslabšanje ravnovesja med globalno ponudbo/povpraševanjem.

Conclusion on the situation on the Union market
Sklepna ugotovitev o razmerah na trgu Unije
The volume of ethanolamines consumed on the Union market expanded by 41 % while imports from the USA declined by 16 % over the period considered.
Količina etanolaminov, porabljenih na trgu Unije, se je povečala za 41 %, medtem ko se je v obravnavnem obdobju uvoz iz ZDA zmanjšal za 16 %.
At the same time, the Union industry increased its sales volume and its corresponding market share.
Hkrati je industrija Unije povečala svoj obseg prodaje in ustrezen tržni delež.
The economic situation of the Union industry improved during the period considered.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je gospodarski položaj industrije Unije izboljšal.
The relevant injury indicators describe a good state of play in terms of business performance.
Ustrezni kazalci škode opisujejo dobro stanje v smislu poslovne uspešnosti.
The Union industry was working at high capacity, achieving significant profit margins, maintaining a stable cash flow, increasing investments and keeping labour cost under control.
Industrija Unije je delovala pri visoki zmogljivosti, dosegala visoke stopnje dobička, vzdrževala stabilen denarni tok, povečala naložbe in nadzorovala stroške dela.
Furthermore, the Union industry was able to benefit from a series of exceptional events that took effect during the period between 2007 and the RIP that brought prices up and influenced positively its business performance.
Poleg tega je izkoristila vrsto izrednih dogodkov med letom 2007 in OPP, ki so prispevali k zvišanju cen in izboljšanju poslovne uspešnosti.
To conclude, in view of the positive development of the indicators pertaining to the Union industry, it could not be established that material injury has continued.
Za zaključek, z vidika pozitivnega razvoja kazalcev, ki se nanašajo na industrijo Unije, ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti, da bi se znatna škoda nadaljevala.
Therefore, it was examined whether there is a likelihood of recurrence of injury should measures be allowed to expire.
Zato se je preverilo, ali obstaja verjetnost ponovitve škode, če se dovoli iztek veljavnosti ukrepov.
It is recalled that continuation of dumping during the RIP was established for two US exporting producers.
Opozarja se, da je bilo med OPP ugotovljeno nadaljevanje dampinga za dva proizvajalca izvoznika ZDA.
One of the two dumping exporters did not cooperate.
En izmed dveh dampinških izvoznikov ni sodeloval.
In view of the fact that it is subject to the highest anti-dumping measures while at the same time being a major producer in the US market, it would have the highest incentive to return to the Union market, if measures were terminated.
Ob upoštevanju dejstva, da zanj veljajo najvišji protidampinški ukrepi in da je obenem velik proizvajalec na trgu ZDA, bi imel v primeru ukinitve ukrepov zelo močno spodbudo, da se vrne na trg Unije.
Likelihood analysis in relation to the facts established for the RIP
Analiza verjetnosti v zvezi z dejstvi, ugotovljenimi za OPP
As set out in more detail in section C, the investigation has established a number of factors which point to the likelihood of a substantial increase of dumped imports from the USA if measures were to be repealed.
Kot je podrobneje določeno v oddelku C, so bili v preiskavi opredeljeni številni dejavniki, ki kažejo na verjetnost znatnega povečanja dampinškega uvoza iz ZDA v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov.
These factors are notably:
Ti dejavniki so zlasti:
US producers’ spare capacity of 60000 tonnes, which is not expected to be absorbed in the near future;
neizkoriščena zmogljivost ameriških proizvajalcev v višini 60000 ton, za katero se ne pričakuje, da bi bila v bližnji prihodnosti absorbirana,
expected self-sufficiency of traditional US export markets, thus forcing US producers to shift exports to the Union.
pričakovana samozadostnost tradicionalnih izvoznih trgov ZDA, zaradi česar bi bili ameriški proizvajalci primorani izvoz preusmeriti v Unijo.
This is notably true for the export markets in Latin America and Asia [20].
To velja zlasti za izvozne trge v Latinski Ameriki in Aziji [20].
It is recalled that the Asian markets play an important role in the US producers’ ability to dispose their surpluses of ethanolamines;Chinese anti-dumping duties imposed on two out of three product types against a number of countries, including the USA;
Spomniti je treba, da azijski trgi igrajo pomembno vlogo pri zmožnosti ameriških proizvajalcev, da prodajo svoje presežke etanolaminov,kitajske protidampinške dajatve, ki so uvedene za dve od treh vrst izdelkov za številne države, vključno z ZDA,
pressure of increased production due to a shift from MEG to ethanolamine production.
pritisk povečane proizvodnje zaradi prehoda s proizvodnje MEG na etanolamin.
Overcapacity and low prices in the MEG business will push producers to favour ethanolamine rather than MEG production, thus creating new ethanolamine capacities and putting pressure on prices;
Presežna zmogljivost in nizke cene v poslovanju z MEG bodo prisilile proizvajalce, da se preusmerijo v proizvodnjo etanolaminov namesto MEG, s čimer bodo ustvarili nove zmogljivosti etanolamina in pa pritisk na cene,
the development of ethanolamine demand in the USA is projected to be lower than in other parts of the world, including the Union;
za razvoj povpraševanja po EAO v ZDA se napoveduje, da bo nižje kot v drugih državah, vključno z Unijo,
the average growth rate in demand in the Union is expected to be higher than the one in the USA thus providing a further incentive to the US exporting producers to target their exports to the Union;
za povprečno rast povpraševanja v Uniji se pričakuje, da bo višja od rasti v ZDA, kar bo dodatna spodbuda za proizvajalce izvoznike v ZDA, da svoj izvoz usmerijo v Unijo,
the available information concerning one non-cooperating US producer points to the conclusion that even companies that did not cooperate with the investigation and have minimised their exports to the Union are still very much interested in staying in the EU market and enhancing their export activities.
iz razpoložljivih informacij v zvezi z enim od nesodelujočih ameriških proizvajalcev je možno sklepati, da so tudi družbe, ki niso sodelovale v preiskavi in so močno zmanjšale svoj izvoz v Unijo, še vedno zelo zainteresirane za obstanek na trgu EU in povečanje svojih izvoznih dejavnosti.
Account taken of the above, the US producers will have to find additional clients and the most feasible option for them would be to resort to the Union market.
Glede na navedeno bodo morali ameriški proizvajalci najti dodatne stranke in najbolj izvedljiva možnost zanje bi bil trg Unije.
During the RIP, the Union industry was doing well.
Med OPP je bil položaj industrije Unije ugoden.
The reason for this can be found in the strong demand for the product concerned that exceeded the offer.
Razlog za to je v velikem povpraševanju po zadevnem izdelku, ki je presegalo ponudbo.
Nevertheless, any increase in imports of the already dumped ethanolamines originating in the USA would put considerable pressure on the Union industry and undermine its performance.
Kljub temu bi povečanje uvoza etanolaminov s poreklom iz ZDA, ki se že prodajajo po znižanih cenah, ustvarilo znaten pritisk na industrijo Unije in ogrozilo njeno uspešnost.
It is also noted that ethalonamines are a commodity, i.e. the various product types are produced to certain technical standards and products from one source can easily be substituted by products from another source.
Treba je tudi omeniti, da so etanolamini bazični proizvodi, tj. različne vrste izdelka so proizvedene po določenih tehničnih standardih in izdelke iz enega vira se zlahka nadomesti z izdelki iz drugih virov.
Thus, in a market characterised by oversupply, competition will mainly be on the basis of price.
Zato bo na trgu, za katerega je značilna prevelika ponudba, konkurenca temeljila predvsem na ceni.
Against this backdrop, the combination of factors described above can relatively quickly put in danger the strong demand in ethanolamines and lead to a situation of oversupply in the Union market.
Na podlagi navedenega lahko kombinacija opisanih dejavnikov razmeroma hitro ogrozi veliko povpraševanje po etanolaminih in privede k preveliki ponudbi na trgu Unije.
An increase of dumped imports would exercise a downward pressure on the sales price level and would, in turn, negatively affect the Union industry’s performance-related indictors, notably profitability.
Povečanje dampinškega uvoza bi ustvarilo pritisk na nižanje ravni prodajnih cen in negativno vplivalo na uspešnost kazalnikov, povezanih z industrijo Unije, zlasti dobičkonosnost.
In case increased dumping were to occur, price undercutting would be established.
Ob povečanju dampinga bi prišlo do nelojalnega nižanja cen.
As explained above, available information suggests that there is a strong build-up of dumped imports post RIP due to the fact that US price levels for two product types are above European price levels while the price differential for the third type is quickly vanishing.
Kot je bilo razloženo, razpoložljive informacije kažejo, da po OPP obstaja znatno povečanje dampinškega uvoza, saj so ameriške ravni cen za dve vrsti izdelkov nad evropskimi ravnmi cen, medtem ko razlika v ceni pri tretji vrsti hitro izginja.
In this line, Eurostat data show that during the second quarter of 2009 imports from the USA (i.e. 15052 tonnes) arrived into the Union 20 % cheaper than during the RIP.
V zvezi s tem podatki Eurostata kažejo, da je med drugim četrtletjem leta 2009 uvoz iz ZDA (tj. 15052 ton), ki je prispel v Unijo, za 20 % cenejši kot med OPP.
Without any measures, these increased dumped imports would confront a Union industry that is considerably weakened.
Brez uvedbe ukrepov bi bil povečan dampinški uvoz problem za industrijo Unije, ki je znatno oslabljena.
Indeed, public available information collected in the course of the investigation point to reduced demand, sales and economies of scale, idle production capacity, decreasing financial performance, etc [21].
Javno razpoložljive informacije, zbrane med preiskavo, dejansko kažejo na zmanjšano povpraševanje, prodajo in ekonomijo obsega, neizkoriščeno zmogljivost, manjšo finančno uspešnost itd [21].
Due to the current economic crisis, the Union ethanolamine market faced weak demand.
Zaradi sedanje gospodarske krize je na trgu etanolamina v Uniji šibko povpraševanje.
Union industry producers were therefore forced to reduce their outputs.
Zato so bili proizvajalci Unije prisiljeni zmanjšati proizvodnjo.
Union industry is currently operating at a capacity utilisation level of 70 %, i.e. much lower than the RIP period level of almost full capacity.
Industrija Unije trenutno deluje pri 70 % stopnji izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, tj. precej nižji stopnji kot med OPP, ko je delovala pri skoraj polni zmogljivosti.
Furthermore, the volume of sales of the Union industry has fallen by approximately 30 % while at the same time sales prices have fallen post RIP by 35-40 %.
Poleg tega je obseg prodaje industrije Unije padel za približno 30 %, obenem pa so se prodajne cene po OPP znižale za 35–40 %.
At the same time the post RIP evolution of cost of production and profitability reveals that there seems to be a serious imbalance between raw material cost and ethanolamine prices thus further undermining the financial performance of the Union industry.
Hkrati je iz gibanja stroškov proizvodnje in dobičkonosnosti po OPP razvidno, da je med stroški surovin in cenami etanolaminov veliko neravnovesje, ki še dodatno škoduje finančni uspešnosti industrije Unije.
Indeed, the cost of the two main raw materials used in ethanolamine production (ethylene and ammonia) has decreased over the post RIP period by materially less than the fall in ethanolamine prices.
Stroški dveh glavnih surovin, ki se uporabljata pri proizvodnji etanolamina (etilen in amoniak), so se med obdobjem po OPP znižali, vendar znatno manj od znižanja cen etanolamina.
This has led to a serious loss in the profit margins of the Union industry which is currently observing either losses or single digit profit margins.
To je povzročilo veliko znižanje stopenj dobička industrije Unije, ki je trenutno v izgubi oziroma ima enomestno stopnjo dobička.
In other words, the Union industry is no longer in a seemingly robust situation, but in a situation where pressure from dumped imports will more than likely set into motion a dangerous downward spiral which will by far exceed the one found likely on the basis of the RIP data.
Z drugimi besedami, industrija Unije ni več v navidezno močnem položaju, temveč v položaju, v katerem bo pritisk dampinškega uvoza skoraj gotovo sprožil nevarno nižanje cen, ki bo dosti močnejše kot tisto, ugotovljeno na podlagi podatkov iz OPP.
The above economic situation has reduced the Union industry’s business options.
Navedeni gospodarski položaj je zmanjšal poslovne možnosti industrije Unije.
On the one hand, the Union industry would not be in a position to expand its customer base in the EU account taken of the fact that no indication exists that its main competitors in the Union market (i.e. the US producers) have stopped exporting to the EU.
Po eni strani ta ne bi bila sposobna razširiti kroga svojih strank v EU, saj nič ne kaže, da bi njeni glavni konkurenti na trgu Unije (tj. ameriški proizvajalci) prenehali izvažati v EU.
On the other hand, it also seems not possible to ease pressure on the Union industry by output increases in captive use as no indication exists that the economic prospects of downstream products (like ethyleneamines, herbicides and catalysts) could outweigh the pressure on the ethanolamine market.
Po drugi strani se prav tako ne zdi verjetno, da bi s povečanjem proizvodnje za lastno uporabo zmanjšali pritisk na industrijo Unije, saj nič ne kaže, da bi lahko gospodarske možnosti izdelkov v nadaljnjem proizvodnem procesu (kot so etilenamini, herbicidi in katalizatorji) izravnale pritisk na trgu etanolamina.
In the case measures were repealed, there is strong likelihood of a significant increase of dumped US imports to the Union that could only lead to a recurrence of injury.
V primeru razveljavitve ukrepov obstaja velika verjetnost znatnega povečanja dampinškega uvoza iz ZDA v Unijo, ki bi gotovo privedla do ponovitve škode.
US producers are loosing traditional markets while the MEG oversupply would lead to an increase in the ethanolamine production that would have to be sold in other markets than the US.
Ameriški proizvajalci izgubljajo tradicionalne trge, medtem ko bi prevelika ponudba MEG povzročila povečanje proizvodnje etanolaminov, ki bi jih bilo treba prodati na neameriških trgih.
Moreover, the economic crisis has affected the Union industry which is facing pressure from the existing US dumped imports without having any viable alternative solution to address injurious dumping other than via the continuation of anti-dumping duties.
Poleg tega je gospodarska kriza vplivala na industrijo Unije, ki se sooča s pritiskom zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz ZDA in nima nobene druge možnosti za nasprotovanje škodljivemu dampingu razen nadaljevanja izvajanja protidampinških ukrepov.
No indication was found that would lead to the conclusion that this situation will not be exacerbated, should measures be allowed to expiry.
Niso bili ugotovljeni znaki, na podlagi katerih bi bilo možno sklepati, da se v primeru izteka ukrepov položaj ne bi poslabšal.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether maintaining the anti-dumping measures currently in force would be against the interest of the Union as a whole.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe se je preučilo, ali bi bila ohranitev trenutno veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov v nasprotju z interesom Unije kot celote.
The determination of Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, i.e. those of the Union industry, importers, traders, wholesalers and industrial users of the product concerned.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na presoji vseh različnih vključenih interesov, tj. industrije Unije, uvoznikov, trgovcev, veletrgovcev in industrijskih uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
It should be recalled that, in the previous investigations, the imposition of measures was not considered to be against the Union interest.
Opozoriti je treba, da se v prejšnjih preiskavah uvedba ukrepov ni štela kot nasprotujoča interesom Unije.
Furthermore, the present investigation is an expiry review, thus analysing a situation in which anti-dumping measures are in place.
Poleg tega je sedanja preiskava pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa, zato se preučuje položaj, v katerem veljajo protidampinški ukrepi.
On this basis it was examined whether, despite the conclusion on the likelihood of a continuation of dumping and likelihood of recurrence of injury, compelling reasons exist which would lead to the conclusion, in this particular case, that it is not in the Union interest to maintain measures.
Na podlagi tega se je preučilo, ali kljub sklepom o verjetnosti nadaljevanja dampinga in ponovitve škode, obstajajo nujni razlogi, ki bi privedli do sklepa, da ohranitev obstoječih ukrepov v tem posebnem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
It is recalled that dumping during the RIP was still present and that there exists a likelihood of continuation of dumping of the product concerned originating in the USA and of recurrence of injury to the Union industry.
Opozarja se, da se je damping v OPP nadaljeval in da obstaja verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinškega uvoza zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz ZDA ter ponovitve škode za industrijo Unije.
The Union industry has proven to be a viable and competitive industry, confirmed by the positive development of most economic indicators.
Industrija Unije je dokazala, da je obstojna in konkurenčna, kar potrjuje pozitiven razvoj večine gospodarskih kazalcev.
The previously imposed anti-dumping measures contributed to restore profitability and allowed for a sufficient return on investment.
Prej uvedeni protidampinški ukrepi so prispevali k obnovitvi dobičkonosnosti in omogočili zadostno donosnost naložb.
Given the lack of cooperation of any trader and wholesaler, it was concluded that the absence or continuation of measures does not affect these parties to a great extent.
Glede na pomanjkanje sodelovanja trgovcev in trgovcev na debelo je bilo sklenjeno, da odsotnost ali nadaljevanje ukrepov ne bi močno vplivalo na te stranke.
Moreover, the investigation did not show the existence of any unrelated importers since all imports into the Union of the product concerned originating in the USA are made via importers related to the US exporting producers.
Poleg tega s preiskavo ni bil ugotovljen obstoj nepovezanih uvoznikov, saj je celoten uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz ZDA v Unijo potekal prek uvoznikov, povezanih z ameriškimi proizvajalci izvozniki.
The continuation of the measures will not change the current situation of the related importers, who were found to have realised profits during the RIP at margins in line with market conditions.
Nadaljevanje ukrepov ne bo spremenilo sedanjega položaja povezanih uvoznikov, ki so v OPP ustvarili dobičke, ki so v skladu s tržnimi razmerami.
In any event, at least in a case like the one at hand, the interests of related importers form an integral part of the interests of the exporting producers since the latter can determine the policy of the related importers.
Vsekakor, vsaj v zadevnem primeru, so interesi povezanih uvoznikov sestavni del interesov proizvajalcev izvoznikov, saj lahko slednji določajo politiko povezanih uvoznikov.
It is recalled that the interests of exporting producers are not part of the Union interest analysis.
Spomniti je treba, da interesi proizvajalcev izvoznikov niso del analize interesa Unije.
