The investigation has shown that the injury indicators such as production volume, capacity utilization, sales to unrelated customers and employment deteriorated during the period considered.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je večina kazalnikov škode, kot so obseg proizvodnje, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, prodaja nepovezanim strankam in zaposlenost, v obravnavanem obdobju poslabšala.
Although it cannot be disregarded that the negative evolution of consumption has had a negative effect on the Union industry, it is noteworthy that the Chinese imports managed to increase their market share, through price pressure.
Čeprav ni mogoče zanemariti dejstva, da je ta negativni razvoj potrošnje negativno vplival na industrijo Unije, je treba opozoriti, da je kitajskemu uvozu uspelo povečati tržni delež s pritiskom na cene.
In addition, the injury indicators related to the financial performance of the Union producers – such as profitability, return on investments and cash-flow were seriously negatively affected during the period considered.
Poleg tega so bili v obravnavanem obdobju resno prizadeti kazalniki škode, povezani s finančno uspešnostjo industrije Unije, kot so dobičkonosnost, donosnost naložb in denarni tok.
A telling injury factor is the substantial increase in stocks (by 37 %) over the period considered.
Pomenljiv dejavnik škode v obravnavanem obdobju je znatno povečanje zalog (za 37 %).
This increase is explained by the fact that Chinese exporting producers focused on sales of large batches of homogenous product whereas the Union industry offered a much larger variety of products in terms of types, colours, sizes.
To povečanje pojasnjuje dejstvo, da so se kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki osredotočili na prodajo velikih serij enovitega izdelka, medtem ko je industrija Unije ponujala po vrsti, barvi, velikosti veliko raznovrstnejše izdelke.
The Union industry had to increase its stocks in order to be able to react in a short time to very specific orders and to provide a larger variety of products.
Industrija Unije je morala povečati svoje zaloge, da bi se lahko zelo hitro odzvala na zelo posebna naročila in zagotovila zelo raznovrstne izdelke.
Although the selling prices of the Union industry increased over the period considered, this is mainly due to the increase in cost of production.
Čeprav so se cene industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju povišale, je bilo to v glavnem zaradi povišanja stroškov proizvodnje.
Overall, the profitability deteriorated over the period considered.
Na splošno se je dobičkonosnost v obravnavnem obdobju poslabšala.
The industry was not in a position to increase their sales prices to a level that would have profitability rates necessary for long-term viability.
Prodajnih cen ni mogla povišati na raven, na kateri bi ustvarjala stopnje dobičkonosnosti, potrebne za dolgoročno sposobnost preživetja.
The analysis of price trends based on Eurostat figures showed that the price differential between the dumped imports from China and the Union industry prices increased from around 40 % in 2007 and 2008 to around 50 % in 2009 and the IP.
Analiza gibanja cen na podlagi podatkov Eurostata je pokazala, da se je razlika v cenah med dampinškim uvozom iz Kitajske in cenami industrije Unije povečala od približno 40 % v letih 2007 in 2008 na približno 50 % v letu 2009 in OP.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation it was examined whether the material injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned.
V skladu s členom 3(6) in (7) osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali je znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povzročil dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države.
Furthermore, known factors other than dumped imports, which might have caused injury to the Union industry, were examined to ensure that any injury caused by those factors was not attributed to dumped imports.
Poleg dampinškega uvoza so bili proučeni tudi znani dejavniki, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, da se morebitna škoda, ki bi jo ti dejavniki lahko povzročili, ne bi pripisala dampinškemu uvozu.
Impact of the imports from China
Vpliv uvoza iz Kitajske
The increasing market share of Chinese exporting producers over the period considered coincided in time with a decrease of the Union industry’s profits and a substantial increase of its stocks.
Vedno večji tržni delež kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v obravnavanem obdobju je časovno sovpadal z zmanjšanjem dobičkov industrije Unije in znatnim povečanjem njenih zalog.
This also coincided with a decrease in Union consumption.
To je sovpadalo tudi z zmanjšanjem potrošnje v Uniji.
However, while the Chinese imports decreased in volume by 9 percentage points between 2007 and 2009, in line with the shrinking consumption (although not at the same pace - consumption shrank by 23 percentage points over the same period), since 2007 the Chinese market share was steadily growing.
A medtem ko se je obseg kitajskega uvoza med letoma 2007 in 2009 zmanjšal za 9 odstotnih točk, v skladu s krčenjem potrošnje (čeprav ne z enakim tempom – potrošnja se je v istem obdobju zmanjšala za 23 odstotnih točk), je kitajski tržni delež od leta 2007 nenehno naraščal.
Moreover, between 2009 and the IP, despite further decrease in consumption by 6 percentage points, Chinese imports increased by 6 percentage points.
Poleg tega se je kitajski uvoz med letom 2009 in OP kljub nadaljnjemu zmanjšanju potrošnje za 6 odstotnih točk povečal za 6 odstotnih točk.
The price differential (based on Eurostat average figures) between Chinese imports and the prices of the Union industry was very significant during the whole period considered.
Razlika v cenah (na podlagi povprečnih podatkov Eurostata) med kitajskim uvozom in cenami industrije Unije je bila znatna v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
The fact that already in 2007 it amounted to over 40 % suggests that the price strategy by the Chinese exporting producers started before the economic crisis.
Dejstvo, da je že leta 2007 znašala več kot 40 %, nakazuje, da se je strategija cen kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov začela že pred gospodarsko krizo.
Also, this differential increased post-crisis reaching 50 % in the IP.
Ta razlika se je povečala tudi po krizi in v OP dosegla 50 %.
The increasing market share of the Chinese imports combined with decreasing prices and the increasing price differential between Union and Chinese prices coincided in time with the deterioration of the situation of the Union industry.
Naraščajoči tržni delež kitajskega uvoza v kombinaciji z znižanjem cen in povečevanjem razlike med cenami Unije in kitajskimi cenami je časovno sovpadel s slabšanjem položaja industrije Unije.
Impact of imports from third countries other than China
Vpliv uvoza iz tretjih držav razen Kitajske
The volume of imports from third countries other than China decreased by 40 % over the period considered.
Obseg uvoza iz tretjih držav razen Kitajske se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 40 %.
The market share of those imports also slightly decreased over the same period (around 1 %).
Tudi tržni delež navedenega uvoza se je v istem obdobju nekoliko zmanjšal (približno za 1 %).
Whereas the prices of those imports were comparable with Chinese prices in 2007, the price differential increased to 18 % in 2009 and 16 % in the IP.
Ker so bile cene navedenega uvoza primerljive s kitajskimi cenami leta 2007, se je razlika v cenah v letu 2009 povečala na 18 %, v OP pa na 16 %.
The volume of imports from Turkey decreased by 37 % over the period considered.
Obseg uvoza iz Turčije se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 37 %.
Although the prices of Turkish imports were below those of the Union industry (by about 40 % over the period considered), the price differential between Turkish and Chinese imports increased to 16 % in 2009 and the IP following a 22 % increase in Turkish prices.
Čeprav so bile cene turškega uvoza nižje od cen industrije Unije (za približno 40 % v obravnavanem obdobju), se je po povišanju turških cen za 22 % razlika v cenah med turškim in kitajskim uvozom v letu 2009 in OP povečala na 16 %.
Impact of the high fragmentation of the Union industry
Vpliv velike razdrobljenosti industrije Unije
The Union tile industry is highly fragmented.
Industrija ploščic v Uniji je zelo razdrobljena.
However, the overall number of companies decreased during the period considered due to a consolidation process which has been ongoing over the past two decades.
Kljub temu se je celotno število družb v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšalo zaradi procesa konsolidacije, ki poteka zadnji dve desetletji.
Most importantly, however, in those Member States with the largest share of production, where at the same time the fragmentation is more pronounced, the investigation showed that companies operate in clusters.
Najpomembneje pa je, da je preiskava v tistih državah članicah z največjim deležem proizvodnje, v katerih je hkrati tudi razdrobljenost izrazitejša, pokazala, da družbe poslujejo v grozdih.
This structure guarantees efficient allocation of resources.
Ta struktura zagotavlja učinkovito razporeditev virov.
In fact fragmentation allows large companies to subcontract to small companies the production of certain types of products (in terms of colours, sizes, etc).
Razdrobljenost dejansko omogoča velikim družbam, da malim družbam oddajajo proizvodnjo nekaterih vrst izdelkov (glede na barvo, velikost itd.).
With the help of the small companies the industry is able to supply many types of products in a short time.
Industrija lahko s pomočjo malih družb hitro dobavi veliko vrst izdelkov.
This became particularly important in light of the Chinese competition selling large batches of the homogeneous product where there is no space for flexibility in design, colours etc. In these circumstances, a causal link between fragmentation and the deterioration of the situation of the Union industry in the period considered cannot be established.
To je postalo posebno pomembno glede na kitajsko konkurenčno prodajo velikih serij enovitih izdelkov, pri katerih ni prostora za prožnost glede oblike, barv itd. V teh razmerah ni mogoče ugotoviti vzročne povezave med razdrobljenostjo in poslabšanjem položaja industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
The investigation showed that the economic crisis undoubtedly impacted on the situation of the Union industry.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je gospodarska kriza nedvomno vplivala na položaj industrije Unije.
The impact was mainly related to the downturn in the construction industry, which has been reflected in the decreasing consumption of ceramic tiles.
Vpliv se je v glavnem nanašal na upad gospodarske rasti v gradbeništvu, ki se je kazal v zmanjševanju potrošnje keramičnih ploščic.
Generally, in 2009 the decline in the overall EU construction activity amounted to 7,5 % [3].
Na splošno je zmanjšanje celotne gradbene dejavnosti v EU leta 2009 znašalo 7,5 % [3].
The more precise impact of the general economic climate on the construction industry would differ depending on the specific segment within that industry [4].
Natančnejši vpliv splošnega gospodarskega ozračja na gradbeništvo bi se razlikoval glede na posebni segment znotraj navedene industrije [4].
In 2009 the decrease in construction activity has largely been concentrated in the new-house building and private non-residential building segments.
Zmanjšanje gradbene dejavnosti je bilo leta 2009 osredotočeno predvsem na gradnjo novih hiš in zasebno nestanovanjsko gradnjo.
Similarly fiscal incentives for energy efficient solutions mitigated the impact of economic downturn on renovation and maintenance activities.
Podobno so fiskalne spodbude za energetsko učinkovite rešitve ublažile vpliv upada gospodarske rasti na obnovo in vzdrževanje.
The aforementioned developments had a positive effect on renovations and maintenance segments (positive implications for the production, sales and profitability of the down-stream industry as profit margins are higher in the retail segment).
Navedeni razvoj je imel pozitiven učinek na segment obnove in vzdrževanja (pozitivne posledice za proizvodnjo, prodajo in dobičkonosnost industrije s konca verige, saj so marže v maloprodaji večje).
In any case those segments were affected less by the economic downturn.
Vsekakor so bili navedeni segmenti manj prizadeti zaradi upada gospodarske rasti.
The following analysis demonstrates that, although the economic downturn might have impacted on the situation of the Union industry, the material injury suffered by the Union industry was indeed caused by the dumped imports from China.
Čeprav je upad gospodarske rasti morda vplival na položaj industrije Unije, pa nadaljnja analiza kaže, da je znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, v resnici povzročil dampinški uvoz iz Kitajske.
Firstly, the investigation showed that the construction industry started to recover from the effects of the economic downturn in the IP, whereas the indicators of the Union industry continued to show a downward trend.
Prvič, preiskava je pokazala, da je začelo gradbeništvo v OP okrevati od učinkov upada gospodarske rasti, medtem ko so kazalniki industrije Unije še naprej kazali upadanje.
Secondly, an important element is the development of stocks, which in this case serves as a telling injury indicator (see above recital 93).
Drugič, pomemben element je razvoj zalog, ki je v tem primeru pomenljiv kazalnik škode (glej uvodno izjavo 93).
A rather steady yearly increase in stocks has been observed.
Opaziti je bilo razmeroma stabilno letno povečanje zalog.
This type of even and steady increase suggests that the Union industry was in fact mainly under the constant pressure by the Chinese exporting producers.
Tovrstno enakomerno in stalno povečevanje kaže, da je bila industrija Unije dejansko v glavnem pod stalnim pritiskom kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
If the increase of stocks were to be attributed to the economic downturn a substantial increase in the years of the crisis would have probably been observed rather than a steady trend over the whole period considered.
Če naj bi se povečanje zalog pripisalo upadu gospodarske dejavnosti, bi bilo verjetno opaziti znatno povečanje v letih krize, ne pa enakomerno povečanje v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
Finally, the analysis of the profitability figures, especially of the small companies, which accounted for almost 50 % of the Union production during the IP, shows that those companies achieved only a very modest profit of 0,3 % already in 2007 and were loss-making ever since.
Nazadnje, analiza dobičkonosnosti, zlasti v malih družbah, ki so v OP pomenile skoraj 50 % proizvodnje Unije, kaže, da so navedene družbe že leta 2007 dosegle le zelo skromen dobiček v višini 0,3 %, od takrat pa ustvarjajo izgubo.
This suggested that their situation started to deteriorate already before the crisis.
To pomeni, da se je njihov položaj začel slabšati že pred krizo.
In the light of the above, it is considered that the deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry was mainly caused by the dumped imports from China.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega se šteje, da je poslabšanje gospodarskega stanja industrije Unije v glavnem povzročil dampinški uvoz iz Kitajske.
Even though the economic crisis, and the resulting contraction in demand, might have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry, its impact was not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from China and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Čeprav sta gospodarska kriza in posledično zmanjšanje povpraševanja morda prispevala k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, njen vpliv ni bil takšen, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo, vzpostavljeno med dampinškim uvozom iz Kitajske in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Claims with regard to self-inflicted injury
Zahtevki v zvezi s samopovzročeno škodo
One importer claimed that the main cause of injury were low-priced sales by Polish tiles producers.
En uvoznik je trdil, da je bila glavni vzrok škode poceni prodaja ploščic poljskih proizvajalcev.
In this respect it has to be noted that the injury analysis should be conducted at the level of the Union industry as a whole and not in relation to a part of it.
V tem smislu je treba opozoriti, da bi bilo treba opraviti analizo škode na ravni industrije Unije kot celote, ne za njen del.
The Commission nevertheless analysed the situation of the Polish market on the basis of the information available (it is recalled that the sampled Polish company decided to discontinue its cooperation and no other Polish company agreed to cooperate).
Komisija je kljub temu na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij analizirala položaj na poljskem trgu (treba je opozoriti, da se je vzorčena poljska družba odločila prekiniti sodelovanje in da ni nobena druga poljska družba pristala na sodelovanje).
Firstly it was found that, in terms of volumes, the Polish sales onto the rest of the Union market represented a market share of less than 3 % during the IP.
Prvič, v zvezi z obsegom poljske prodaje na preostalem trgu Unije je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bil v OP njen tržni delež manjši od 3 %.
Secondly, had the Polish companies cooperated in the investigation and their prices were taken into account in the undercutting analysis, this would have had a very limited weight on the overall undercutting calculation.
Drugič, če bi poljske družbe sodelovale v preiskavi in bi bile njihove cene upoštevane v analizi nelojalnega nižanja cen, bi imelo to zelo omejeno težo v celotnem izračunu nelojalnega nižanja cen.
Due to the lack of cooperation on the part of the Polish company, detailed price information per PCN was not available.
Zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja poljske družbe ni bilo na voljo podrobnih informacij o cenah za kontrolno številko izdelka.
But even under a ‘maximum impact’ approach, assuming that all Polish sales would have been included in the calculation, the impact would have been marginal and would have not changed the overall picture in view of the relative low sales volumes [5].
A tudi v okviru pristopa „največjega vpliva“ bi bil ob predpostavki, da bi bila v izračun vključena celotna poljska prodaja, vpliv zanemarljiv in ne bi spremenil celotne slike glede na razmeroma majhen obseg prodaje [5].
On this basis the impact of the Polish sales on the injury suffered by the Union industry, if any, was limited.
Na tej podlagi je bil vpliv poljske prodaje na škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, če je sploh obstajal, omejen.
Another claim alleging self-inflicted injury was that some Union producers would have completed their catalogues with imports of Chinese tiles and re-sold them under their own brand names.
Druga trditev o domnevni samopovzročeni škodi je bila, da so nekateri proizvajalci Unije dopolnili svoje kataloge z uvozom kitajskih ploščic in jih prodajali naprej pod svojim tržnim imenom.
This claim was however not substantiated and in addition evidence collected during the investigation showed that those imports were marginal.
Ta trditev pa ni utemeljena, poleg tega pa so med preiskavo zbrani dokazi pokazali, da je bil uvoz zanemarljiv.
Hence, it cannot be concluded that those imports by the EU producers, contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato ni mogoče ugotoviti, da bi navedeni uvoz proizvajalcev EU prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Export performance for the Union industry
Izvoz industrije Unije
Export performance was also examined as one of the known factors other than the dumped imports, which could have injured the Union industry, to ensure that possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Kot eden od znanih drugih dejavnikov poleg dampinškega uvoza, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, je bil proučen tudi izvoz proizvajalcev Unije, da bi zagotovili, da se morebitna škoda, ki bi jo povzročili ti drugi dejavniki, ne bi pripisala dampinškemu uvozu.
For the cooperating sampled producers the decrease was less pronounced (– 24 %).
Pri sodelujočih vzorčenih proizvajalcih je bilo zmanjšanje manj izrazito (– 24 %).
Hence, it is considered that the decrease in export volume cannot explain the level of injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato se šteje, da zmanjšanje izvoza ne more pojasniti ravni škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
On the basis of the above, it is provisionally concluded that the export performance of the Union industry did not contribute to the material injury suffered by it.
Na podlagi navedenega se začasno ugotovi, da izvoz industrije Unije ni prispeval k znatni škodi, ki jo je ta utrpela.
It was thus concluded that there is a causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from China.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da obstaja vzročna zveza med škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in dampinškim uvozom iz Kitajske.
The economic crisis and imports from third countries other than China had an impact on the situation of the Union industry but it was not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from China and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Gospodarska kriza in uvoz iz tretjih držav razen Kitajske sta vplivala na položaj industrije Unije, vendar vpliv ni bil takšen, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo, vzpostavljeno med dampinškim uvozom iz Kitajske in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Based on the above analysis of the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry, it was therefore provisionally concluded that there is a causal link between the dumped imports from China and the material injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Zato se na podlagi zgornje analize učinkov vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije začasno ugotovi, da obstaja vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom iz Kitajske in znatno škodo, ki jo je industrija Unije utrpela v OP.
There was a high level of cooperation and support from the European Association (Cerame-Unie) and the major national associations of producers.
Pri evropskem združenju (Cerame-Unie) in glavnimi nacionalnimi združenji proizvajalcev je obstajala visoka raven sodelovanja in podpore.
Moreover, no Union producers have declared their opposition to the initiation of the investigation or the imposition of measures.
Poleg tega ni noben proizvajalec Unije nasprotoval pobudi za preiskavo ali uvedbi ukrepov.
This suggests that the imposition of measures is clearly in the interest of the Union producers.
To pomeni, da je uvedba ukrepov jasno v interesu proizvajalcev Unije.
The investigation showed that the Union industry is suffering material injury because of the effects of dumped imports which undercut its prices, as elaborated in recital 76 et seq.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo zaradi učinkov dampinškega uvoza, zaradi katerega so se nelojalno znižale njene cene, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 76 in naslednjih uvodnih izjavah.
It can be expected that the Union industry would benefit from the measures which would likely prevent a further surge of dumped, low-priced imports.
Pričakovati je mogoče, da bodo ukrepi, s katerimi se bo verjetno preprečilo nadaljnjo nenadno povečanje poceni dampinškega uvoza v prihodnosti, koristili industriji Unije.
Should measures not be imposed, it can be expected that the increase of imports of dumped, low-priced ceramic tiles would continue, if not increase.
Če ukrepi ne bodo uvedeni, je mogoče pričakovati, da se bo povečevanje dampinškega uvoza poceni keramičnih ploščic nadaljevalo, če ne še povečalo.
The effect of depression of sales prices exerted by the dumped imports from China would continue to compress Union producers’ sales prices and profits.
Učinek zniževanja prodajnih cen, ki ga povzroča dampinški uvoz iz Kitajske, bi še naprej stiskal prodajne cene in dobičke proizvajalcev Unije.
