extending the definitive countervailing duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 598/2009 on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America to imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada, whether declared as originating in Canada or not, and extending the definitive countervailing duty imposed by Regulation (EC) No 598/2009 to imports of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of biodiesel originating in the United States of America, and terminating the investigation in respect of imports consigned from Singapore
o razširitvi dokončne izravnalne dajatve, uvedene z Uredbo (ES) št. 598/2009 za uvoz biodizla s poreklom iz Združenih držav Amerike, na uvoz biodizla, poslanega iz Kanade, ne glede na to, ali je deklariran s poreklom iz Kanade ali ne, in o razširitvi dokončne izravnalne dajatve uvedene z Uredbo (ES) št. 598/2009 na uvoz biodizla v mešanici s vsebnostjo 20 mas. % ali manj biodizla s poreklom iz Združenih držav Amerike, in o zaključku preiskave v zvezi z uvozom, poslanim iz Singapurja
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community [1] (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 23(4) thereof,
ob upoštevanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 597/2009 z dne 11. junija 2009 o zaščiti proti subvencioniranemu uvozu iz držav, ki niso članice Evropske skupnosti [1] („osnovna uredba“), zlasti člena 23(4) Uredbe,
The Commission, by Regulation (EC) No 194/2009 [2] imposed a provisional countervailing duty on imports of biodiesel originating in the United States of America(‘USA’).
Komisija je z Uredbo (ES) št. 194/2009 [2] uvedla začasno izravnalno dajatev na uvoz biodizla s poreklom iz Združenih držav Amerike (ZDA).
By Regulation (EC) No 598/2009 [3] (the ‘definitive Regulation’), the Council imposed a definitive countervailing duty ranging from EUR 211,2 to EUR 237 per tonne on imports of biodiesel, as defined in Article 1(1) of the said Regulation (‘the product concerned’) originating in the USA (‘the existing measures’).
Svet je z Uredbo (ES) št. 598/2009 [3] („dokončna uredba“) uvedel dokončno izravnalno dajatev, ki je znašala od 211,2 EUR do 237 EUR na tono na uvoz biodizla, kot je določeno v členu 1(1) navedene uredbe („zadevni izdelek“) s poreklom iz ZDA („obstoječi ukrepi“).
The investigation leading to the adoption of the definitive Regulation is hereafter referred to as ‘the original investigation’.
Preiskava, na podlagi katere je bila sprejeta dokončna uredba, je v nadaljnjem besedilu imenovana „prvotna preiskava“.
It should also be noted that by Regulation (EC) No 599/2009 [4], the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty ranging from EUR 0 to EUR 198 per tonne on imports of the product concerned.
Treba je tudi opozoriti, da je Svet z Uredbo (ES) št. 599/2009 [4] uvedel dokončno protidampinško dajatev, ki je znašala od 0 EUR do 198 EUR na tono na uvoz zadevnega izdelka.
On 30 June 2010, the Commission received a request pursuant to Article 23(4) of the basic Regulation to investigate the possible circumvention of the countervailing measures imposed on imports of the product concerned.
Komisija je 30. junija 2010 prejela zahtevek v skladu s členom 23(4) osnovne uredbe za preiskavo morebitnega izogibanja izravnalnim ukrepom, uvedenim na uvoz zadevnega izdelka.
The request was submitted by the European Biodiesel Board (‘EBB’) on behalf of the Union producers of biodiesel.
Zahtevek je v imenu proizvajalcev biodizla Unije vložil Evropski odbor za biodizel (EBB).
The request alleged that the countervailing measures on imports of the product concerned were being circumvented by means of transhipment via Canada and Singapore and by exports of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of biodiesel.
V zahtevku je bilo navedeno, da se izravnalnim ukrepom za uvoz zadevnega izdelka izogiba s pretovarjanjem prek Kanade in Singapurja ter z izvozom biodizla v mešanici s vsebnostjo 20 mas. % ali manj biodizla.
The request alleged that a significant change in pattern of trade involving exports from the USA, Canada and Singapore has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, and that there is insufficient due cause or justification other than the imposition of the duty for this change.
V zahtevku je bilo navedeno, da se je po uvedbi ukrepov za zadevni izdelek znatno spremenil vzorec trgovanja, ki vključuje izvoz iz ZDA, Kanade in Singapurja, ter da za to spremembo razen uvedbe dajatve ni upravičenih razlogov ali utemeljitev.
This change in pattern of trade stemmed allegedly from the transhipment of the product concerned via Canada and Singapore.
Ta sprememba v vzorcu trgovanja je domnevno posledica pretovarjanja zadevnega izdelka prek Kanade in Singapurja.
The request further alleged that following the imposition of the measures, exports of biodiesel in blends containing 20 % or less of biodiesel from the USA had begun to arrive in the Union, allegedly taking advantage of the biodiesel content threshold set in the description of the product concerned.
V zahtevku je bilo navedeno tudi, da se je po uvedbi ukrepov začel izvoz biodizla v mešanicah s vsebnostjo 20 % ali manj biodizla iz ZDA v Unijo, domnevno zaradi izkoriščanja prednosti mejne vsebnosti biodizla, določene v opisu zadevnega izdelka.
Furthermore, the request alleged that the remedial effects of the existing countervailing measures on the product concerned were being undermined both in terms of quantity and price.
Poleg tega je bilo v zahtevku navedeno, da so učinki obstoječih izravnalnih ukrepov na zadevni izdelek oslabljeni s količinami in cenami.
It was alleged that significant volumes of imports of biodiesel in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of biodiesel from Canada and Singapore and of biodiesel in blends containing 20 % or less of biodiesel, appeared to have replaced imports of the product concerned.
Navedeno je bilo, da naj bi znatne količine uvoza biodizla v čisti obliki ali v mešanici s vsebnostjo 20 mas. % ali manj biodizla iz Kanade in Singapurja ter biodizla v mešanici s vsebnostjo 20 % ali manj biodizla nadomestile uvoz zadevnega izdelka.
In addition, there was sufficient evidence that this increased volume of imports were made at prices well below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.
Poleg tega so obstajali zadostni dokazi, da se je ta obseg uvoza povečal pri cenah, ki so znatno nižje od neškodljive cene, določene v preiskavi, ki je privedla do obstoječih ukrepov.
Finally, the request alleged that the prices of the product concerned continue to be subsidised as previously established.
V zahtevku je bilo navedeno tudi, da so cene zadevnega izdelka še naprej subvencionirane, kot je bilo prej ugotovljeno.
Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient prima facie evidence existed for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 23 of the basic Regulation, the Commission initiated an investigation by Regulation (EU) No 721/2010 [5] (the ‘initiation Regulation’).
Ko je Komisija po posvetovanju s Svetovalnim odborom ugotovila, da obstajajo zadostni dokazi prima facie za začetek preiskave na podlagi člena 23 osnovne uredbe, je začela preiskavo z Uredbo (ES) št. 721/2010 [5] („začetna uredba“).
Pursuant to Article 24(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission, by the initiation Regulation, also directed the customs authorities to register imports consigned from Canada and Singapore as well as imports originating in the USA of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 24(5) osnovne uredbe z začetno uredbo odredila, naj carinski organi registrirajo uvoz, poslan iz Kanade in Singapurja, ter uvoz s poreklom iz ZDA biodizla v mešanici z vsebnostjo 20 mas. % ali manj monoalkilnih estrov maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinskega plinskega olja, pridobljenega s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora.
The Commission also initiated a parallel investigation by Regulation (EU) No 720/2010 [6] concerning the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures on imports of biodiesel originating in the USA by imports of biodiesel consigned from Canada and Singapore and by imports of biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of biodiesel originating in the USA.
Komisija je začela vzporedno preiskavo z Uredbo (EU) št. 720/2010 [6] glede morebitnega izogibanja protidampinškim ukrepom za uvoz biodizla s poreklom iz ZDA, pri uvozu biodizla, poslanega iz Kanade ali Singapurja, in pri uvozu biodizla v mešanici z vsebnostjo 20 mas. % ali manj biodizla s poreklom iz ZDA.
The Commission officially advised the authorities of the USA, Canada and Singapore.
Komisija je uradno svetovala organom ZDA, Kanade in Singapurja.
Questionnaires were sent to known producers/exporters in the USA, Canada and Singapore.
Vprašalniki so bili poslani znanim proizvajalcem/izvoznikom v ZDA, Kanadi in Singapurju.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the initiation Regulation.
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da v roku iz začetne uredbe v pisni obliki izrazijo svoja stališča in zahtevajo zaslišanje.
The following companies submitted replies to the questionnaires and verification visits were subsequently carried out at their premises:
Navedene družbe so predložile izpolnjene vprašalnike, nato pa so bili v njihovih prostorih opravljeni preveritveni obiski:
Producers/exporters in Canada:
Proizvajalci/izvozniki v Kanadi:
Traders in Singapore:

Moreover, visits were made to the relevant competent authorities of the Government of Canada and the Government of Singapore.
Opravljeni so bili tudi obiski ustreznih pristojnih organov kanadske in singapurske vlade.
The investigation period covered the period from 1 April 2009 to 30 June 2010 (the ‘IP’).
Obdobje preiskave je trajalo od 1. aprila 2009 do 30. junija 2010 (OP).
Data was collected for the period from 2008 up to the end of the IP to investigate the alleged change in the pattern of trade.
Za preiskavo domnevne spremembe vzorca trgovanja so bili zbrani podatki za obdobje od leta 2008 do konca OP.
PRODUCT FORMING THE OBJECT OF THE CIRCUMVENTION INVESTIGATION
IZDELEK, KI JE PREDMET PREISKAVE GLEDE IZOGIBANJA
The product concerned by the possible circumvention, i.e. the product at issue in the original investigation, is fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, currently falling within CN codes ex15162098, ex15180091, ex15180099, ex27101941, 38249091, ex38249097, and originating in the USA.
Izdelek, ki ga zadeva morebitno izogibanje, tj. sporni izdelek v prvotni preiskavi, so monoalkilni estri maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinsko plinsko olje, pridobljeno s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora, splošno znani kot „biodizel“, v čisti obliki ali mešanici, s vsebnostjo več kot 20 mas. % monoalkilnih estrov maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinskega plinskega olja, pridobljenega s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora, ki so trenutno uvrščeni pod oznake KN ex15162098, ex15180091, ex15180099, ex27101941, 38249091, ex38249097, ter s poreklom iz ZDA („zadevni izdelek“).
The product forming the object of the circumvention investigation is twofold.
Izdelek, ki je predmet preiskave glede izogibanja je dvojen.
Firstly, regarding the allegations of transhipment through Canada and Singapore, it is identical to the product at issue in the original investigation, as described in the previous paragraph.
Glede domnevnega pretovarjanja prek Kanade in Singapurja je enak spornemu izdelku v prvotni preiskavi, kot je navedeno v prejšnjem odstavku.
Regarding shipments directly from the USA, the product under investigation is biodiesel in a blend containing by weight 20 % or less of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, originating in the USA.
Glede pošiljk neposredno iz ZDA je izdelek v preiskavi biodizel v mešanici s vsebnostjo 20 mas. % ali manj monoalkilnih estrov maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinskega plinskega olja, pridobljenega s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora, s poreklom iz ZDA.
IMPORTS OF BIODIESEL INTO THE UNION VS. EXPORTS FROM THE USA
UVOZ BIODIZLA V UNIJO V PRIMERJAVI Z IZVOZOM IZ ZDA
Following the imposition of provisional countervailing measures in March 2009, imports of the product concerned have practically ceased.
Po uvedbi začasnih izravnalnih ukrepov marca 2009 je uvoz zadevnega izdelka praktično prenehal.
The below table summarises the situation:
Navedena razpredelnica povzema stanje:
Imports of biodiesel and certain biodiesel blends into the European Union
Uvoz biodizla in nekaterih mešanic biodizla v Evropsko unijo
under CN code 38249091 (in tonnes)
pod oznako KN 38249091 (v tonah)
share
delež
The above Eurostat data cover all biodiesel containing 96,5 % or more of esters.
Navedeni Eurostatovi podatki zajemajo vse vrste biodizla z vsebnostjo 96,5 % ali več estrov.
In comparison, the USA report exports of biodiesel and biodiesel blends under code HTS 3824 90 40 00 (mixtures of fatty substances, animal or vegetable origin) as follows:
Za primerjavo ZDA poroča o izvozu biodizla in mešanic biodizla pod oznako HTS 3824 90 40 00 (mešanice maščob živalskega ali rastlinskega izvora):
US exports of biodiesel and biodiesel blends
Izvoz biodizla in mešanic biodizla iz ZDA
Comparing the two above tables leads to the conclusion that the 358291 tonnes exported to the Union during the IP are blends with a biodiesel content of 96,5 % and below.
S primerjavo navedenih razpredelnic je mogoče ugotoviti, da je 358291 ton, izvoženih v Unijo med OP, mešanic z vsebnostjo 96,5 % ali manj biodizla.
There was a high level of cooperation by producers/exporters in Canada.
V Kanadi je bila stopnja sodelovanja proizvajalcev/izvoznikov visoka.
Two producers representing approximately 90 % of Canadian production of biodiesel submitted a questionnaire reply and fully cooperated with the investigation.
Proizvajalca, ki predstavljata približno 90 % proizvodnje biodizla v Kanadi, sta izpolnila vprašalnik in v celoti sodelovala pri preiskavi.
Moreover, the Canadian Renewable Fuels Association and relevant authorities of the Government of Canada cooperated with the investigation.
Pri preiskavi so sodelovali tudi Kanadsko združenje za obnovljiva goriva (Canadian Renewable Fuels Association) in zadevni organi kanadske vlade.
In accordance with Article 23(3) of the basic Regulation, the assessment of the existence of circumvention should be made by analysing successively whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between USA, Canada and the Union, if this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty, if there was evidence of injury or that the remedial effects of the duty were being undermined in terms of the prices and/or quantities of the like product, and that the imported like product still benefits from the subsidy.
V skladu s členom 23(3) osnovne uredbe je treba obstoj izogibanja oceniti z zaporedno analizo, ali se je vzorec trgovanja med ZDA, Kanado in Unijo spremenil, ali je ta sprememba nastala zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero razen uvedbe dajatve ni drugega vzroka ali gospodarske utemeljitve, ali obstajajo dokazi za škodo ali za to, da se popravljalni učinek dajatve spodkopava s cenami in/ali količinami podobnega izdelka, ter da je uvoženi podobni izdelek še vedno subvencioniran.
Change in patterns of trade
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja
Imports into the Union
Uvoz v Unijo
Imports of biodiesel from the USA dropped from 1487790 tonnes in 2008, to 381227 tonnes in 2009 and to close to zero during the IP.
Uvoz biodizla iz ZDA je upadel z 1487790 ton v letu 2008 na 381227 ton v letu 2009 in v OP na skoraj nič.
On the other hand, according to Eurostat data total imports of biodiesel from Canada to the Union increased significantly between 2008 and the IP from 1725 tonnes in 2008 to 140043 tonnes in 2009 and 197772 tonnes during the IP.
Med letom 2008 in OP pa se je po drugi strani po Eurostatovih podatkih skupni uvoz biodizla iz Kanade v Unijo znatno povečal, s 1725 ton v letu 2008 na 140043 ton v letu 2009 in na 197772 ton v OP.
US exports of biodiesel to Canada
Izvoz biodizla iz ZDA v Kanado
There are no customs duties applicable for sales of biodiesel between the USA and Canada or other kinds of imports restrictions.
Pri prodaji biodizla med ZDA in Kanado ni carin, pa tudi ne drugih vrst omejitev uvoza.
According the USA statistics, exports of biodiesel from the USA to Canada increased from 967 tonnes in 2008 to 128233 tonnes in 2009 and 161841 tonnes during the IP.
Glede na statistične podatke ZDA se je izvoz biodizla iz ZDA v Kanado povečal z 967 ton v letu 2008 na 128233 ton v letu 2009 in na 161841 ton v OP.
A comparison of the export statistics provided by the US authorities with the import statistics provided on-spot by the Canadian authorities showed significant discrepancies on a monthly basis.
Primerjava statističnih podatkov o izvozu, ki so jih zagotovili organi ZDA, s statističnimi podatki, ki so jih na kraju samem zagotovili kanadski organi, so pokazali znatne neskladnosti po posameznih mesecih.
According to the Canadian statistics, imports of US biodiesel increased from 11757 tonnes in 2008 to 18673 tonnes in 2009 and 174574 tonnes during the IP.
V skladu s statističnimi podatki Kanade se je uvoz biodizla iz ZDA povečal z 11757 ton v letu 2008 na 18673 ton v letu 2009 in na 174574 ton v OP.
According to the Canadian authorities, there is no specific code to declare biodiesel.
Kanadski organi navajajo, da za deklariranje biodizla ni posebne oznake.
They noted that Canada and the USA exchange import data for use as their respective export data.
Opozorili so, da si Kanada in ZDA izmenjujeta podatke o uvozu, ki jih nato uporabljata kot podatke o svojem izvozu.
As such, at the six-digit level Canadian import data and US export data should match, which they do quite closely under HTS 38.24.90.
Uvozni podatki Kanade in izvozni podatki ZDA se morajo ujemati na ravni šestmestne številke in so si pod oznako HTS 38.24.90 dejansko zelo podobni.
However, beyond six digits they each have their own classification systems.
Z izjemo šestmestne številke imata vsaka svoj klasifikacijski sistem.
Also it should be noted that the Canadian statistics only cover imports which have been customs cleared in Canada and not transhipped goods.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da kanadski statistični podatki zajemajo le uvoz, ki se je carinil v Kanadi, in ne pretovorjenega blaga.
In conclusion, despite the discrepancies between the two data sources, it is clear that US export of biodiesel to Canada increased from 2008 to the IP, and in particular following the imposition of countervailing measures.
Kljub neskladnostim med viroma podatkov je jasno, da se je izvoz biodizla iz ZDA v Kanado povečal med letom 2008 in OP, zlasti pa po uvedbi izravnalnih ukrepov.
The Canadian biodiesel market is currently not able to absorb such quantities of biodiesel.
Trg biodizla v Kanadi trenutno ne more absorbirati takih količin biodizla.
Genuine Canadian biodiesel producers are in fact export oriented.
Proizvajalci pristnega kanadskega biodizla so dejansko usmerjeni v izvoz.
Production in Canada and sales of genuine Canadian biodiesel to the Union
Proizvodnja v Kanadi in prodaja pristnega kanadskega biodizla v Unijo
The two cooperating producers in Canada did not purchase any biodiesel from the USA or from any other sources during the IP.
Sodelujoča proizvajalca v Kanadi v OP nista kupovala biodizla iz ZDA ali katerega koli drugega vira.
Production of biodiesel in Canada is an infant industry.
Proizvodnja biodizla v Kanadi je mlada gospodarska panoga.
Some six production facilities were in place during the IP, but the two facilities in Eastern Canada, which are in fact owned and run by the two cooperating producers, alone account for approximately 90 % of total production.
V OP je delovalo približno šest proizvodnih obratov, vendar obrata v vzhodni Kanadi, katerih lastnika in upravljavca sta sodelujoča proizvajalca, sama predstavljata približno 90 % celotne proizvodnje.
From the production volumes sold by the cooperating producers, sales where end-customers were certainly in North America, i.e. in the USA or Canada were determined.
Z obsegom proizvodnje, ki sta jo prodala sodelujoča proizvajalca, je bila določena prodaja končnim strankam, ki so bile zagotovo v Severni Ameriki, tj. ZDA ali Kanadi.
The remainder of the sales were sold to customers who either traded the goods and/or blended the goods with other biodiesel.
Preostanek prodaje je bil prodan strankam, ki so z blagom trgovale in/ali ga mešale z drugim biodizlom.
The two companies did not know whether the customers sold the products to the Union as Canadian biodiesel, whether they blended it, or whether the biodiesel was sold to end customers in the USA or in Canada.
Družbi nista vedeli, ali so stranke prodale izdelke v Unijo kot kanadski biodizel, ga mešale ali pa je bil biodizel prodan končnim strankam v ZDA ali Kanadi.
Even if in an extreme case it was assumed that all genuine Canadian biodiesel ended up in the Union, this would account for only 20 % of total imports into the Union from Canada during the IP.
Tudi v ekstremnem primeru, da bi ves „pristen“ kanadski biodizel končal v Uniji, bi ta v OP predvidoma predstavljal le 20 % skupnega uvoza iz Kanade v Unijo.
The reconciliation of statistics with the data obtained from the cooperating producers showed that Canadian biodiesel producers could not have produced the volume exported from Canada into the Union.
Uskladitev statističnih podatkov s podatki, pridobljenimi od sodelujočih proizvajalcev, je pokazala, da kanadski proizvajalci biodizla niso mogli proizvesti količine, izvožene iz Kanade v Unijo.
This therefore strongly suggests that the surge of imports from Canada into the Union relates to exports of US biodiesel consigned from Canada.
To jasno kaže, da je povečan uvoz iz Kanade v Unijo povezan z izvozom biodizla iz ZDA, poslanega iz Kanade.
The overall decrease of US exports to the Union as from 2008 and the parallel increase of exports from Canada to the Union and of exports from the USA to Canada after the imposition of the original measures can thus be considered as a change in the pattern of trade.
Skupno zmanjšanje izvoza iz ZDA v Unijo od leta 2008 in vzporedno povečanje izvoza iz Kanade v Unijo ter izvoza iz ZDA v Kanado po uvedbi prvotnih ukrepov se lahko štejeta za spremembo v načinu trgovanja.
Insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the countervailing duty
Nezadosten drug vzrok ali gospodarska utemeljitev razen uvedbe izravnalne dajatve
The investigation did not bring to light any other due cause or economic justification for the transhipment than the avoidance of the payment of the countervailing duty in force on biodiesel originating in the USA.
S preiskavo za pretovarjanje razen izogibanja plačilu veljavne izravnalne dajatve za biodizel s poreklom iz ZDA ni bil ugotovljen noben drug vzrok ali gospodarska utemeljitev.
Undermining the remedial effect of the countervailing duty
Spodkopavanje popravljalnega učinka izravnalne dajatve
Eurostat data was used to assess whether the imported products had, in terms of quantities, undermined the remedial effects of the countervailing measures in force on imports of biodiesel from the USA.
Z Eurostatovimi podatki je bilo ocenjeno, ali so količine uvoženih izdelkov spodkopavale popravljalne učinke veljavnih izravnalnih ukrepov za uvoz biodizla iz ZDA.
