In other words, these imports decreased relatively at a higher pace than consumption (– 28 %) during that period.
Drugače povedano, navedeni uvoz se je v navedenem obdobju razmeroma hitreje manjšal kot potrošnja (– 28 %).
With regards to prices, Eurostat indicate that the import price of Chinese melamine increased by 10 % during the period considered.
Glede cen Eurostatu navaja, da se je uvozna cena kitajskega melamina povišala za 10 % v obravnavanem obdobju.
It decreased significantly by 31 % in the period from 2008 to the IP.
Med letom 2008 in OP se je občutno znižala za 31 %.
However, the verified information of the Chinese cooperating exporters which represent around 30 % of the total imports from China showed that the average Chinese import price was much lower than Eurostat.
Vendar so preverjene informacije kitajskih sodelujočih izvoznikov, ki predstavljajo okrog 30 % skupnega uvoza s Kitajske, pokazale, da je bila povprečna kitajska uvozna cena precej nižja od Eurostatove.
It was found that the cooperating producers were undercutting on average by 10,3 % the Union industry price during the IP.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so sodelujoči proizvajalci v povprečju nelojalno znižali prodajne cene industrije Unije za 10,3 % v OP.
Given the high level of non-cooperation from the PRC it is considered that the verified price at the premises of the cooperating producers should prevail over the Eurostat price data.
Zaradi visoke ravni nesodelovanja iz LRK je bilo sklenjeno, da bi cena, preverjena v prostorih sodelujočih proizvajalcev, morala prevladati nad Eurostatovimi podatki o cenah.
An analysis on a monthly basis of the import volume of melamine showed that the Chinese imports were massively present in the Union market in the first semester of the IP, when the crisis in the sector was at its peak, and held up to 15 % share of the Union market in the first semester of the IP.
Mesečna analiza obsega uvoza melamina je pokazala, da je bil kitajski uvoz množično prisoten na trgu Unije v prvem polletju OP, ko je bila kriza v panogi na višku, in je predstavljal do 15 % deleža trga unije v prvem polletju OP.
Given the structure and the production process of the Union industry, it had no choice other than lowering its sales price to keep market share.
Zaradi svoje strukture proizvodnega procesa industrija Unije ni imela druge izbire kot znižati prodajno ceno, da bi ohranila tržni delež.
Even though the Chinese exporters had significantly reduced their exports to the Union in the second semester of the IP, the negative effect of their massive presence in the beginning of the IP and their low level of sales prices continued to affect the Union market and the Union industry in the remainder of the IP.
Čeprav so kitajski izvozniki bistveno zmanjšali izvoz v Unijo v drugem polletju OP, so negativni učinek njihove množične prisotnosti na začetku OP in njihove nizke prodajne cene še naprej vplivali na trg in industrijo Unije v preostanku OP.
The investigation showed that the Union industry suffered from serious cuts in production, a decrease in the rate of capacity utilisation, losses in sales volume and in employment in the period considered.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je industrija unije v obravnavanem obdobju utrpela huda zmanjšanja proizvodnje, upad izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, izgube pri obsegu prodaje in številu zaposlenih.
The structure of the Union industry and the development of the above injury factors suggest that the deterioration in its economic situation was due to a certain extent to the crisis situation and the low demand on the market as explained in recitals 97 to 100 below.
Struktura industrije Unije in razvoj navedenih dejavnikov škode kažejo, da so poslabšanje gospodarskega položaja do neke mere povzročile krizne razmere in majhno povpraševanje na trgu, kot je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 0 to (99).
But it is also due to the low level of prices and the pressure exerted by the Chinese exports in particular between 2008 and the IP which did not allow it to cover its costs.
Vendar so jih povzročili tudi nizke cene in pritisk kitajskega izvoza zlasti med letom 2008 in OP, ki ni omogočal kritja stroškov.
As a result the losses accumulated during the IP were as high as – 18 % on turnover.
Posledično so izgube, ki so se nakopičile v OP, znašale kar –18% prometa.
Taking into account the distortion encountered during the MET investigation in the PRC, the high level of dumping found, and in view of the findings made in particular in recital 92 above, it is considered that even with a decreasing market share, the presence of low-priced dumped imports undercutting the Union industry price by over 10 % on the Union market played a role in further exacerbating the negative trend on sales prices on the Union market during the whole IP.
Ob upoštevanju izkrivljanja, ki se je pokazalo med preiskavo TGO v LRK, visoke stopnje ugotovljenega dampinga ter ugotovitev zlasti iz uvodne izjave (90) šteje, da je tudi ob čedalje manjšem tržnem deležu prisotnost nizkocenovnega dampinškega uvoza, ki nelojalno znižuje prodajne cene industrije Unije za čez 10 % na trgu Unije, vplivala na dodatno zaostrovanju negativnega gibanja prodajnih cen na trgu Unije v vsem OP.
On this basis a causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry can be established.
Na podlagi tega je mogoče ugotoviti vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The other factors which were examined in the context of the causality are the development of demand on the Union market, the economic crisis, the production cost of the Union industry, the export performance of the Union industry and the imports of melamine from other third countries.
Drugi dejavniki, proučeni pri vzročnosti, so gibanje povpraševanja na trgu Unije, gospodarska kriza, proizvodni stroški industrije Unije, izvozna uspešnost industrije Unije in uvoz melamina iz drugih tretjih držav.
Development of demand on the Union market and the economic crisis
Razvoj povpraševanja na trgu Unije in gospodarska kriza
It should be recalled that the main applications of melamine are in the housing and construction markets.
Gre spomniti, da se melamin večinoma uporablja na stanovanjskem in gradbenem trgu.
Following the economic crisis, the housing and construction markets contracted which also resulted in a contraction of consumption not only on the Union market but on a global scale.
Po gospodarski krizi sta se stanovanjski in gradbeni trg skrčila, zaradi česar se je skrčila tudi potrošnja ne le na trgu Unije, ampak na svetovni ravni.
Given that the EU is by far the largest worldwide market for melamine; the crisis has had a negative impact on that market.
Ker je EU daleč največji trg za melamin, je kriza negativno vplivala na navedeni trg.
This was illustrated by a 28 % decrease in consumption, stoppages in production by the Union industry and a decrease in sales prices.
To se je pokazalo z 28-odstotnim zmanjšanjem potrošnje, zaustavitvami proizvodnje industrije Unije in zmanjšanjem prodajnih cen.
The above facts and considerations thus suggest that a part of the injury suffered by the Union industry could be attributed to the economic crisis.
Navedena dejstva in premisleki tako kažejo, da je del škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, mogoče pripisati gospodarski krizi.
However, as explained in recitals 88 to 95 above, it should be borne in mind that there were clear distortions on the Chinese market for melamine.
Vendar je treba upoštevati, da je bil kitajski trg za melamin jasno izkrivljen, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 2 to (93).
Moreover, the dumped imports from the PRC were undercutting on average by 10 % the price of the Union industry during the IP thus further exacerbating the negative effects on the price level, in particular during the IP.
Poleg tega je dampinški uvoz iz LRK v povprečju za 10 % nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije v OP in tako dodatno zaostroval negativni vpliv na cene, zlasti v OP.
In view of the undercutting practiced by the Chinese exporters and the selective increase of their presence during the IP as described in recital 92 above, even if it is considered that part of the material injury suffered by the Union industry can be attributed to the economic crisis, it is not such as to break the causal link between the dumped import and the material injury of the Union industry.
Čeprav se šteje, da je del znatne škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, mogoče pripisati gospodarski krizi, glede na nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen kitajskih izvoznikov in selektivno povečanje njihove prisotnosti v OP, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi (90), ta ni takšna, da bi pretrgala vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in znatno škodo industrije Unije.
Production cost of the Union industry
Proizvodni stroški industrije Unije
The investigation showed that the production of melamine is capital intensive with a high proportion of fixed costs.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je proizvodnja melamina kapitalsko intenzivna z velikim deležem stalnih stroškov.
The cost of production of the Union industry to produce melamine remained stable over the period considered but decreased by 14 % between 2008 and the IP as shown in Table 7(b) above.
Proizvodni stroški industrije Unije za proizvodnjo melamina se niso spreminjali v obravnavanem obdobju, so se pa zmanjšali za 14 % med letom 2008 in OP, kot prikazuje tabela 7(b).
This should have allowed for a certain recovery in the profitability of the Union industry but the low level of price in the Union market and the undercutting practiced by the low-priced dumped imports from the PRC did not allow this situation to materialise.
To bi bilo sicer moralo omogočiti neko okrevanje dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije, vendar so nizke cene na trgu Unije in nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen z nizkocenovnim dampinškim uvozom iz LRK tako stanje onemogočili.
Accordingly, it is concluded that the cost of production is not a cause of the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato se sklene, da proizvodni stroški niso povzročili škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.

Exports (thousand tonnes)
Izvoz (v 1000 tonah)
The analysis showed that the export sales to unrelated parties made by the Union industry remained stable at around 85000 tonnes, or 28 % of production during the period considered.
Analiza je pokazala, da je izvoz industrije Unije nepovezanim stranem med obravnavanim obdobjem ostal nespremenjen pri okrog 85000 tonah ali 28 % proizvodnje.
The export performance of the complainants has thus been very good even during the crisis.
Izvoz pritožnikov je tako bil zelo dober tudi med krizo.
Hence the injurious situation of the Union industry cannot be explained or attributed to exports.
Zato stanja škode industrije Unije ni mogoče pojasniti z izvozom ali mu ga pripisati.
The trends in import volumes and prices from other third countries between 2006 and the IP were as follows:
Gibanja obsega uvoza in cen iz drugih tretjih držav med letom 2006 in OP so bila naslednja:
Apart from Iran and Saudi Arabia, imports from individual third countries were below the de minimis threshold of 1 % of market share of the Union market during the IP.
Razen za Iran in Saudovo Arabijo je bil v OP uvoz iz posameznih tretjih držav pod pragom de minimis 1 % tržnega deleža trga Unije.
The investigation showed that imports volume from third countries have decreased over the period considered.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je obseg uvoza iz tretjih držav v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjševal.
As regard to Iran and Saudi Arabia which accounted respectively for 4,4 % and 1,4 % of EU consumption during the IP, it was found that their pricing was higher that of the cooperating Chinese exporters.
Za Iran in Saudovo Arabijo, ki sta v OP predstavljala 4,4 % oziroma 1,4 % potrošnje EU, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so bile njihove cene višje od sodelujočih kitajskih izvoznikov.
It is therefore considered that such quantities and prices would only have had a limited impact, if any, on the EU market.
Zato se šteje, da bi take količine in cene imele le omejen vpliv, če sploh kakšnega, na trg EU.
On the basis of the above, it was provisionally concluded that the imports from these third countries did not significantly contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Glede na navedeno je bilo začasno sklenjeno, da uvoz iz teh drugih tretjih držav ni bistveno prispeval k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The above analysis showed that there was a substantial decrease in the volume of import and market share of the low-priced dumped imports originating in the PRC over the period considered.
Zgornja analiza je pokazala, da sta se obseg in tržni delež nizkocenovnega dampinškega uvoza s poreklom iz LRK med obravnavanim obdobjem bistveno zmanjšala.
Nevertheless, these imports were made at significant dumped prices which were undercutting by 10 % the prices charged by the Union industry on the Union market during the IP.
Kljub temu je navedeni uvoz potekal po občutni dampinški ceni, ki je za 10 % nelojalno znižala prodajne cene, ki jih je zaračunavala industrija Unije na trgu Unije v OP.
This negative effect on the sales price prevailing on the Union market lasted during the whole IP.
Negativni učinek na prodajne cene, ki so prevladale na trgu Unije, je trajal vse OP.
Based on all facts and considerations, it was considered that there was a causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry during the IP.
Na podlagi vseh dejstev in premislekov, se je presodilo, da je v OP obstajala vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry revealed that these factors did not appear to be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Proučitev drugih znanih dejavnikov, ki bi lahko škodovali industriji Unije, je pokazala, da se ti dejavniki niso zdeli taki, da bi lahko pretrgali vzročno zvezo, vzpostavljeno med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it was provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the PRC have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi navedene analize, ki je ustrezno opredelila in ločila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza, je bilo začasno sklenjeno, da je dampinški uvoz iz LRK industriji Unije povzročil znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether, despite the provisional conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt provisional anti-dumping measures in this particular case.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali so kljub začasnemu sklepu o škodljivem dampingu obstajali nujni razlogi, zaradi katerih bi bilo mogoče sklepati, da sprejetje začasnih protidampinških ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
The analysis of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers and users of the product concerned.
Analiza interesa Unije je temeljila na presoji vseh različnih vpletenih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov in uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
The Union industry is composed of three producers with factories located in different Member States of the Union, employing directly over 600 people related to the like product.
Industrijo Unije sestavljajo trije proizvajalci s tovarnami v različnih državah članicah Unije, ki neposredno zaposlujejo več kot 600 ljudi pri proizvodnji podobnega izdelka.
It is recalled that most relevant injury indicators showed a negative trend during the period considered.
Opozoriti je treba, da je večina pomembnih kazalcev škode pokazala negativno gibanje med obravnavanim obdobjem.
In particular injury indicators related to the financial performance of the Union industry, such as profitability, cash flow and return on investments were seriously affected.
Zelo prizadeti so bili zlasti kazalniki škode, povezani s finančno uspešnostjo industrije Unije, kot so dobičkonosnost, denarni tok in donosnost naložb.
In the absence of measures, it is considered that the recovery in the melamine sector will not be sufficient to allow the recovery of the Union industry’s financial situation.
Brez ukrepov se šteje, da okrevanje panoge melamina ne bo zadostovalo za okrevanje finančnega stanja industrije Unije.
It is expected that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping duties will restore effective trade conditions on the Union market, allowing prices of melamine to reflect the costs of the various components and the market conditions.
Pričakuje se, da se bodo z uvedbo začasnih protidampinških dajatev ponovno vzpostavile učinkovite razmere za trgovanje na trgu Unije, zaradi česar bo lahko cena melamina odražala stroške različnih elementov in tržnih razmer.
It can be expected that the imposition of provisional measures and the recovery in the sector would enable the Union industry to make economies of scale in order to keep its market share with a positive impact on its economic situation and profitability.
Pričakuje se lahko, da bosta uvedba začasnih ukrepov in okrevanje panoge industriji Unije omogočila ekonomijo obsega, da bi ohranila tržni delež, kar bi dodatno pozitivno vplivalo na njen gospodarski položaj in dobičkonosnost.
It was therefore concluded that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping measures on imports of melamine originating in the PRC would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da bi bila uvedba začasnih protidampinških ukrepov na uvoz melamina s poreklom iz LRK v interesu industrije Unije.
The cooperation by the users was relatively low in this case.
Sodelovanje uporabnikov je bilo v tej zadevi razmeroma majhno.
44 questionnaires were sent to the known users in the Union market and only seven replies could be considered to be sufficiently meaningful to assess their economic situation and the possible impact of anti-dumping measures on their activity.
Znanim uporabnikom na trgu Unije je bilo poslanih 44 vprašalnikov, samo sedem odgovorov nanje pa je mogoče šteti za dovolj povedne za oceno njihovega gospodarskega položaja in morebitnega učinka protidampinških ukrepov na njihovo dejavnost.
The cooperating users represented around 10 % of the EU consumption.
Sodelujoči uporabniki so predstavljali okrog 10 % potrošnje EU.
According to the Union industry the share of melamine in the cost of production of the user’s industry would be 3 % at most and 2 % on average.
Po industriji Unije bi delež melamina v proizvodnih stroških uporabniške industrije znašal največ 3 % in povprečno 2 %.
If this is confirmed by the further verification visits which will take place in the remainder of the investigation at the premises of the users, the impact of the proposed anti-dumping measures would be limited on the users’ industry.
Če to potrdijo dodatni preveritveni obiski, ki bodo opravljeni v preostanku preiskave v obratih uporabnikov, bo vpliv predlaganih protidampinških ukrepov na uporabniško industrijo omejen.
Based on the few meaningful replies received from users, it would appear that the share of melamine in the users cost of production would be around 10 %.
Na podlagi maloštevilnih povednih odgovorov uporabnikov se zdi, da bi znašal delež melamina v proizvodnih stroških uporabnikov okrog 10 %.
The possible impact of measures may therefore be negative depending on the level of their profitability which was not clearly disclosed by the users.
Morebitni vpliv ukrepov je tako lahko negativen, odvisno od njihove dobičkonosnosti, ki je uporabniki niso jasno razkrili.
As mentioned above verification visits will take place at the main users’ premises in the remainder of the investigation.
Kot že omenjeno, bodo v preostanku preiskave opravljeni preveritveni obiski v prostorih glavnih uporabnikov.
The Commission will also seek for more cooperation from the user industry.
Komisija se bo zavzemala tudi za večje sodelovanje uporabniške industrije.
Some parties also suggested that because the market share held by the Union industry is very high a price increase which that industry will apply on melamine once measures are imposed may be the main impact of the imposition of anti-dumping measures in this case.
Nekatere strani so izrazile mnenje, da bo lahko višja cena melamina, ki jo bo uporabila industrija Unije po uvedbi ukrepov, zaradi njenega zelo velikega tržnega deleža glavna posledica protidampinških ukrepov v tem primeru.
Nevertheless, it is considered that not imposing measures on Chinese dumped imports may lead to further cuts in production by certain Union producers and then possible problems such as shortages of supply on the Union market, the largest market for melamine worldwide.
Kljub temu se šteje, da neuvedba ukrepov na kitajski dampinški uvoz lahko povzroči dodatno zmanjšanje proizvodnje pri nekaterih proizvajalcih Unije in nato morebitne težave, kot je pomanjkanje ponudbe na trgu Unije, največjem trgu za melamin na svetu.
Based on the above facts and considerations, it is considered that at this stage there are no substantiated elements which show that the impact of the imposition of provisional measures would be disproportionate as regard the activity of the user industry.
Na podlagi navedenih dejstev in premislekov se šteje, da v tej fazi ni utemeljenih elementov, ki bi kazali, da bi bil vpliv uvedbe začasnih ukrepov nesorazmeren z dejavnostjo uporabniške industrije.
Hence, it is considered that there are no compelling reasons not to impose provisional measures.
Zato se začasno šteje, da ni utemeljenih razlogov proti uvedbi začasnih ukrepov.
In view of the above, it was provisionally concluded that overall, based on the information available concerning the Union interest, there are no compelling reasons against the imposition of provisional measures on imports of melamine originating in the PRC.
Glede na navedeno je bilo začasno sklenjeno, da na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij o interesu Unije na splošno ni utemeljenih razlogov proti uvedbi začasnih ukrepov za uvoz melamina iz LRK.
In view of the conclusions reached with regard to dumping, injury, causation and Union interest, provisional anti-dumping measures should be imposed in order to prevent further injury being caused to the Union industry by the dumped imports.
Glede na sklepe o dampingu, škodi, vzročni zvezi in interesu Unije je treba uvesti začasne protidampinške ukrepe, da se prepreči, da bi dampinški uvoz še naprej povzročal škodo industriji Unije.
For the purpose of determining the level of these measures, account was taken of the dumping margins found and the amount of duty necessary to eliminate the injury sustained by the Union industry.
Za določitev ravni teh ukrepov so se upoštevale ugotovljene stopnje dampinga in višina dajatve, potrebne za odpravo škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
When calculating the amount of duty necessary to remove the effects of the injurious dumping, it was considered that any measures should allow the Union industry to cover its costs of production and to obtain a profit before tax that could be reasonably achieved by an industry of this type in the sector under normal conditions of competition, i.e. in the absence of dumped imports, on sales of the like product in the Union.
Pri izračunu višine dajatve, potrebne za odpravo učinkov škodljivega dampinga, je bilo sklenjeno, da morajo vsi ukrepi industriji Unije omogočiti, da pokrije svoje proizvodne stroške in ustvari dobiček pred obdavčitvijo, ki bi ga industrija te vrste v panogi lahko ustvarila v običajnih konkurenčnih razmerah, tj. brez dampinškega uvoza, od prodaje podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
