The most appropriate basis was found to be the information provided by the cooperating importer and the Eurostat data in relation to imports into the Union of the product concerned.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so najprimernejša osnova informacije sodelujočega uvoznika in Eurostatovi podatki v zvezi z uvozom zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
Though most of these imports were made under inward processing regime (IPR) (Chinese furfuraldehyde was further processed into furfuryl alcohol for export), there was no reason to believe that they were not a reasonable basis for establishing export prices.
Čeprav je ta uvoz večinoma potekal v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja (PAO) (kitajski furfuraldehid se je predelal v furfurilalkohol za izvoz), ni bilo razlogov za domnevo, da ni ustrezna osnova za določitev izvoznih cen.
For the purposes of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, and in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made with regard to certain differences in transport and insurance, which affected prices and price comparability.
Za zagotovitev poštene primerjave med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno ter v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe so se v obliki prilagoditve ustrezno upoštevale nekatere razlike pri transportu in zavarovanju, ki so vplivale na cene in primerljivost cen.
This comparison showed the existence of significant dumping.
Ta primerjava je pokazala znaten damping.
Further to the analysis of the existence of dumping during the RIP, the likelihood of the continuation of dumping should measures be repealed was investigated.
Poleg analize obstoja dampinga v OPP je bila proučena verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov.
Given the fact that no exporting producer in the PRC cooperated in this investigation, the conclusions below rely on facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, namely the information provided by the cooperating importer, Eurostat data, official export statistics of the PRC and the review request.
Ker pri tej preiskavi ni sodeloval noben proizvajalec izvoznik v LRK, zaključki temeljijo na dostopnih dejstvih v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe, to je na informacijah sodelujočega uvoznika, Eurostatovih podatkih, uradnih statističnih podatkih LRK o izvozu ter na zahtevku za pregled.
In this respect the following elements were analysed: development of imports into the Union from the PRC under IPR, development of Chinese exports to third countries and the spare capacity of the Chinese producers.
V zvezi s tem so bili analizirani naslednji dejavniki: razvoj uvoza v Unijo iz LRK v okviru PAO, razvoj kitajskega uvoza v tretje države in prosta zmogljivost kitajskih proizvajalcev.
Development of imports from the PRC
Razvoj uvoza iz LRK
According to the Chinese official export statistics the total worldwide exports from the PRC of the product concerned increased by 117 % during the period considered.
Glede na uradne kitajske statistične podatke o izvozu se je v obravnavanem obdobju skupni svetovni izvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK povečal za 117 %.
This increase was mainly absorbed by the US and other third country markets.
To povečanje so večinoma absorbirali ameriški trg in drugi trgi tretjih držav.
Concerning the exports to the Union, according to Eurostat and verified import data, it should be noted that during the RIP 99,9 % of all the imports from the PRC of the product concerned into the Union were made for inward processing, the remaining 0,1 % for free circulation.
Glede izvoza v Unijo je treba opozoriti, da Eurostatovi podatki in preverjeni podatki o uvozu kažejo, da je bilo v OPP 99,9 % celotnega uvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo izvedenega za aktivno oplemenitenje, ostalega 0,1 % pa za prosti promet.
The import volume from PRC under the IPR and free circulation decreased by 67 % from 2007 to the RIP, which coincided with shrinking consumption on the Union market by 24 % as set out in recital 45 below.
Obseg uvoza v okviru PAO in v prostem prometu se je med letom 2007 in OPP zmanjšal za 67 %, kar je sovpadlo s 24-odstotnim zmanjšanjem potrošnje na trgu Unije, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 45.
The Chinese furfuraldehyde imported under IPR was further processed into furfuryl alcohol which was then exported.
Kitajski furfuraldehid, uvožen v okviru PAO, je bil predelan v furfurilalkohol, ta pa se je izvozil.
There is no information available as to how the imports for free circulation have been used in the Union, however, it can be reasonably assumed that, should the measures be repealed, at least part of the current imports under IPR could be imported for free circulation as such or as the final downstream product (furfuryl alcohol) sold on the Union market.
Informacij o tem, kako se je uvoz za prosti promet uporabljal v Uniji, ni na voljo, vendar se lahko upravičeno domneva, da bi se v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov vsaj del zdajšnjega uvoza v okviru PAO lahko uvozil za prosti promet kot furfuraldehid ali kot končni izdelek/izdelek na koncu proizvodne verige (furfurilalkohol), ki se prodaja na trgu Unije.
The price of Chinese exports has varied between markets in the period from 2007 to the RIP.
V obdobju med letom 2007 in OPP so se cene kitajskega izvoza na trgih razlikovale.
While there has been a sharp decrease in the export price to the Union (by 11 %) in this period, the other export markets have experienced an increase of approximately 10 %.
V tem obdobju se je uvozna cena v Unijo močno zmanjšala (za 11 %), na drugih izvoznih trgih pa se je zvišala za približno 10 %.
It is, however, notable that the prices for the US market during the RIP have been at roughly the same level as to the Union, while, according to the Chinese export statistics, the exports to other markets have been by 19 % per tonne more expensive.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da so bile v OPP cene za trg ZDA na približno isti ravni kot za uvoz v Unijo, glede na kitajske statistične podatke o izvozu pa je bil uvoz na druge trge dražji za približno 19 % za tono.
Considering that the product concerned is very homogeneous, such price differences can only be explained by the deliberate pricing strategy of Chinese exporters who obtain higher prices and profits on markets with less competition than in markets such as the Union and the US where lower prices are practised.
Glede na to, da je zadevni izdelek zelo homogen, je take cenovne razlike mogoče pojasniti z namerno cenovno strategijo kitajskih izvoznikov, ki dobijo višje cene in večji dobiček na trgih z manj konkurence kot na trgih, kot sta Unija in ZDA, kjer so cene nižje.
Considering that exports to the Union and the US constituted 46 % of total Chinese exports, this leads to a conclusion that this price discrimination could be maintained, if duties were to lapse, in order to sustain dumping at least on the Union market.
Glede na to, da je uvoz v Unijo in ZDA obsegal 46 % celotnega kitajskega izvoza, je mogoče ugotoviti, da bi se v primeru izteka ukrepov ta cenovna razlika lahko ohranjala za nadaljevanje dampinga vsaj na trgu Unije.
Since little public information is available about the Chinese industry of furfuraldehyde, the following conclusions rely mainly on the information contained in the review request.
Ker je o kitajski industriji furfuraldehida na voljo malo javnih informacij, naslednji zaključki večinoma temeljijo na informacijah iz zahteve za pregled.
According to the request for the expiry review, the Chinese production of furfuraldehyde has been steadily increasing since 1999, and in 2009 the production volume reached around 320000 tonnes.
Zahteva za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa navaja, da kitajska proizvodnja stalno narašča od leta 1999 in da je leta 2009 obseg proizvodnje dosegel približno 320000 ton.
The Chinese capacity utilisation rate is said to be at around 94 % which means that there is idle capacity of around 20000 tonnes per year in the PRC, i.e. approximately half of total consumption in the Union.
Kitajska naj bi imela 94-odstotno stopnjo izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, kar pomeni, da neizkoriščene zmogljivosti LRK letno znašajo približno 20000 ton, tj. približno polovico celotne potrošnje v Uniji.
More than 200 production plants of furfuraldehyde are said to currently operate in the PRC, of which more and more engage in export activities.
Trenutno naj bi v LRK delovalo več kot 200 tovarn, ki izdelujejo furfuraldehid, od katerih jih vedno več tudi izvaža.
Based on the above, it can be concluded that, if the measures were repealed, it can be expected that the exports of the product concerned from the PRC would enter the Union market outside the IPR in significant quantities and most likely would continue being dumped.
Glede na navedeno je mogoče ugotoviti, da je v primeru ukinitve ukrepov mogoče pričakovati, da bi uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK vstopal na trg Unije zunaj PAO v znatnih količinah in bi bil po vsej verjetnosti še naprej dampinški.
Conclusion on the likelihood of a continuation of dumping
Sklepna ugotovitev v zvezi z verjetnostjo nadaljevanja dampinga
Considering the large production capacity available in the PRC, the ability of Chinese producers to increase rapidly the production volumes and direct them for export, as well as the pricing of those exports, it is reasonable to assume that a repeal of the measures would result in a resumption of exports from the PRC to the Union outside the IPR.
Glede na veliko proizvodno zmogljivost, ki je na voljo v LRK, zmožnost kitajskih proizvajalcev, da hitro povečajo obseg proizvodnje in ga usmerijo v izvoz, ter glede na cene navedenega izvoza je upravičeno domnevati, da bi bila posledica razveljavitve ukrepov nadaljevanje uvoza iz LRK v Unijo zunaj PAO.
The current export prices under IPR do not bear the anti-dumping duty.
Na zdajšnje izvozne cene v okviru PAO protidampinške dajatve ni.
It is considered therefore that such prices are also indicative as to future price levels, should measures be repealed.
Zato se lahko šteje, da take cene nakazujejo tudi prihodnje ravni cen v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov.
In this regard, it was found that Chinese export prices under IPR were dumped and were undercutting the Union producers’ prices by 11 % in the RIP, as set out in recital 69 below.
V zvezi s tem je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bile kitajske izvozne cene v okviru PAO dampinške in v OPP nelojalno znižale cene proizvajalcev Unije za 11 %, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 69.
In view of the findings described above, it can be concluded that the exports from the PRC are still being dumped and that there is a likelihood of continuation of dumping on the Union market if the current anti-dumping measures were to lapse.
Na podlagi navedenega je mogoče ugotoviti, da se blago iz LRK še vedno izvaža po dampinških cenah in da bi se damping na trgu Unije ob razveljavitvi sedanjih protidampinških ukrepov verjetno nadaljeval.
The UI consists of two companies: Lenzing AG (Austria) and Tanin Sevnica kemična industrija d.d (Slovenia), which together account for 100 % of the Union’s production of the product concerned in the RIP.
Industrijo Unije sestavljata dve družbi: Lenzing AG (Avstrija) in Tanin Sevnica kemična industrija d.d. (Slovenija), ki v OP skupaj predstavljata 100 % proizvodnje zadevnega izdelka v Uniji.
Both companies replied to the questionnaires and fully cooperated in the investigation.
Obe družbi sta izpolnili vprašalnik in v celoti sodelovali pri preiskavi.
On this basis, the two Union producers constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) and Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Na tej podlagi oba proizvajalca Unije predstavljata industrijo Unije v smislu členov 4(1) in 5(4) osnovne uredbe.
For reasons of confidentiality data concerning the performance of the UI are given only in indexed form.
Zaradi zaupnosti so podatki o uspešnosti industrije Unije navedeni samo v indeksirani obliki.
However, Nutrafur is still active in the market, as a trader buying the product concerned from its former Union competitors.
Vendar družba Nutrafur na trgu še vedno posluje kot trgovec, ki zadevni izdelek kupuje od nekdanjih konkurentov iz Unije.
The production figures of Nutrafur in 2007 and 2008 mentioned in the request were included in the consumption in the Union market.
Številke o proizvodnji družbe Nutrafur v letih 2007 in 2008, navedene v zahtevku, so bile vključene v potrošnjo na trgu Unije.
Union consumption of furfuraldehyde was established on the basis of the sales volumes of the UI on the Union market (including the sales of Nutrafur while it was still producing furfuraldehyde) plus imports under IPR from the PRC and imports from other third countries into free circulation, based on verified data of the importer International Furan Chemicals BV (IFC) and Eurostat.
Potrošnja furfuraldehida v Uniji je bila ugotovljena s preverjenimi podatki uvoznika International Furan Chemicals BV („IFC“) in Eurostata, in sicer na podlagi obsega prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije (vključno s prodajo družbe Nutrafur, ko je ta še vedno proizvajala furfuraldehid), uvoza v okviru PAO iz LRK ter uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav v prosti promet.
As Eurostat does not disclose the complete information for confidentiality reasons, Eurostat data were used only for the imports from other third countries except PRC and the Dominican Republic, since IFC is the sole importer of furfuraldehyde from these sources.
Ker Eurostat zaradi zaupnosti ne razkriva celotnih podatkov, so bili Eurostatovi podatki uporabljeni samo za uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav razen LRK in Dominikanske republike, ker je IFC edini uvoznik furfuraldehida iz teh virov.
On this basis, during the period considered, the Union consumption decreased by 24 %, from 48534 tonnes in 2007 to 36725 tonnes, during the RIP.
Na podlagi tega se je v obravnavanem obdobju potrošnja Unije zmanjšala za 24 %, in sicer z 48534 ton v letu 2007 na 36725 ton v OPP.

Y/Y trend
Letno gibanje
According to Chinese export statistics, during the RIP there were only insignificant (2,5 tonnes) Chinese imports for free circulation, most of the Chinese imports being made under IPR.
Glede na kitajske statistične podatke o izvozu je bil v OPP kitajski uvoz za prosti promet zanemarljiv (2,5 tone), večina kitajskega uvoza pa je potekala v okviru PAO.
The Chinese IPR volume decreased from 8264 tonnes in 2007 to 2749 tonnes in the RIP, i.e. by 67 %.
Obseg kitajskega uvoza v okviru PAO se je zmanjšal z 8264 ton v letu 2007 na 2749 ton v OPP, tj. za 67 %.
In 2008 Chinese IPR imports reached a peak of approximately 10000 tonnes which decreased in the following years.
Leta 2008 je kitajski uvoz v okviru PAO dosegel najvišjo raven približno 10000 ton, ki se je v naslednjih letih zmanjševala.
Over the period considered the Chinese market share for IPR decreased from 17 % to 8 %, i.e. by 9 percentage points.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je kitajski tržni delež v okviru PAO zmanjšal s 17 % na 8 %, to je za 9 odstotnih točk.
The Chinese IPR price decreased by 12 % from EUR 774 in 2007 to EUR 685 in the RIP.
Kitajska cena v okviru PAO se je zmanjšala za 12 % s 774 EUR v letu 2007 na 685 EUR v OPP.

Import volumes and prices from other third countries
Obseg uvoza in uvozne cene iz drugih tretjih držav
It should be noted that, as in the original investigation, the imports from the Dominican Republic were entirely shipments from a parent company to its European subsidiary to produce furfuryl alcohol.
Treba je opozoriti, da tako kot v prvotni preiskavi celotni uvoz iz Dominikanske republike predstavlja pošiljke matične družbe njeni evropski podružnici za proizvodnjo furfurilalkohola.
Thus, the prices used in these transactions are transfer prices between related companies and did not reflect real market prices.
Tako so cene, ki se uporabljajo pri teh transakcijah, transferne cene med povezanima družbama in niso odražale dejanskih tržnih cen.
According to Eurostat, import volumes of furfuraldehyde into the Union from countries other than the PRC, together with their average prices, developed as follows:
Po Eurostatovih podatkih se je obseg uvoza furfuraldehida v Unijo iz držav razen LRK skupaj s povprečnimi cenami spreminjal na naslednji način:

Imports into the Union from other third countries
Uvoz v Unijo iz drugih tretjih držav
During the period considered the import volumes of furfuraldehyde from the Dominican Republic and all other third countries decreased significantly by 19 % and 31 % respectively.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je obseg uvoza furfuraldehida iz Dominikanske republike in vseh drugih tretjih držav močno zmanjšal za 19 % oziroma 31 %.
However the decrease of imports from the Dominican Republic still allowed for an increase in the market share from 66 % to 71 %.
Kljub zmanjšanju uvoza iz Dominikanske republike pa se je njen tržni delež povečal s 66 % na 71 %.
However all these imports were incorporated in the production of furfuryl alcohol by the European subsidiary of the producer in the Dominican Republic.
Vendar je ves ta uvoz potekal v okviru proizvodnje furfurilalkohola s strani evropske podružnice proizvajalca v Dominikanski republiki.
Therefore, the prices of these transactions were transfer prices between related companies and may not reflect real market prices.
Tako so bile cene teh transakcij transferne cene med povezanima družbama in morda ne odražajo dejanskih tržnih cen.
Export volumes and prices from the PRC to other third countries
Obseg izvoza in izvozne cene iz LRK v druge tretje države
During the period considered export volumes increased by 105 % (equivalent to approximately 9 % of total Union sales in the RIP).
V obravnavanem obdobju se je obseg izvoza povečal za 105 % (kar je v OPP enako približno 9 % celotne prodaje v Unijo).
It is noted that export sales by the UI to other third countries were made at low prices during the RIP.
Treba je opozoriti, da je v OPP izvoz IU v druge tretje države potekal po nizkih cenah.
This can be explained by the competition in large quantities at low prices with Chinese furfuraldehyde in other third countries.
To se lahko pojasni s konkurenco zaradi velikih količin kitajskega furfuraldehida po nizkih cenah v drugih tretjih državah.

The total production capacity of the UI remained the same during the period considered.
Skupna proizvodna zmogljivost industrije Unije je v obravnavanem obdobju ostala nespremenjena.
The capacity utilisation of the UI increased by 12 percentage points from 85 % to 97 % meaning that production was almost at full capacity.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti industrije Unije se je povečala za 12 odstotnih točk s 85 % na 97 %, kar pomeni, da je bila proizvodna zmogljivost izkoriščena skoraj v celoti.

The table below shows that the level of stocks of the UI increased by 26 % during the period considered.
Iz navedene tabele je razvidno, da se je raven zalog industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 26 %.
The increase of stocks was particularly significant between 2007 and 2008, when stocks increased by 193 %.
Povečanje zalog je bilo znatno zlasti med letoma 2007 in 2008, ko so se zaloge povečale za 193 %.

The UI’s sales volume to unrelated customers in the Union market increased by 13 %, during the RIP.
Prodaja industrije Unije nepovezanim strankam na trgu Unije se je v OPP povečala za 13 %.
Following the increase in sales, the market share of the UI increased by 5 percentage points during the period considered.
Po povečanju prodaje se je tržni delež industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 5 odstotnih točk.

During the period considered the average sales prices charged by the UI on the Union market decreased by 1 %.
V obravnavanem obdobju so se povprečne prodajne cene, ki jih je industrija Unije zaračunavala na trgu Unije, znižale za 1 %.
In 2008 the average sales price reached a peak with an increase of 11 %, but then decreased rapidly in the following year.
Leta 2008 so povprečne prodajne cene dosegle najvišjo raven s povečanjem za 11 %, vendar so se naslednje leto hitro znižale.
The slight decrease in the sales prices must be seen in view of the increase of 5 % in the unit cost of production, that the UI was not able to take into account.
Rahlo znižanje prodajnih cen je treba obravnavati glede na 5-odstotno povečanje proizvodnih stroškov na enoto, ki ga IU ni mogla upoštevati.

The profits made by the UI decreased significantly during the period considered together with the cash flow, which decreased by 56 %.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je dobiček industrije Unije znatno zmanjšal skupaj z denarnim tokom, ki se je zmanjšal za 56 %.
This was due to pressure on sales prices, despite the increase both in production and in sales.
To je bila posledica pritiska na prodajne cene kljub povečanju proizvodnje in prodaje.
