In accordance with Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the changed circumstances regarding dumping could reasonably be considered to be of a lasting nature.
V skladu s členom 11(3) osnovne uredbe je bilo preučeno tudi, ali se spremenjene okoliščine v zvezi z dampingom lahko upravičeno štejejo za trajne.
In order to examine whether the level of the dumping margin found during the RIP is of a lasting nature, the development of export prices and normal value has been considered.
Za preučitev, ali je stopnja dampinga, ugotovljena med OPP, trajna, se je upoštevalo gibanje izvoznih cen in normalne vrednosti.
It is first noted that the dumping margin found in the last review [7]; i.e. 12,5 %, is closer to the level found in the current proceeding than to the existing level of measures.
Najprej se ugotavlja, da je stopnja dampinga, ugotovljena v zadnjem pregledu [7], tj. 12,5-odstotna, bližje ravni, ugotovljeni v sedanjem postopku, kot obstoječi ravni ukrepov.
As far as post RIP export prices are concerned, Eurostat data show that they have decreased by around 15 % over the first 9 months of 2009.
Kar zadeva izvozne cene po OPP, podatki Eurostata kažejo, da so se v prvih devetih mesecih leta 2009 znižale za približno 15 %.
As far as normal value is concerned, the investigation revealed that normal value had decreased in similar proportions over the same period.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je v istem obdobju v podobnem sorazmerju zmanjšala tudi normalna vrednost.
As a consequence, the dumping margin for exports of silicon over the first 9 months of 2009 would be of a similar level as the one found in the RIP.
Zato naj bi bila stopnja dampinga za izvoz silicija v prvih devetih mesecih leta 2009 na podobni ravni kot stopnja dampinga, ugotovljena v OPP.
The above demonstrates that Chinese export prices are closer to world prices than when measures were originally imposed [8].
Zgornje ugotovitve kažejo, da so kitajske izvozne cene bližje svetovnim cenam kot ob prvotni uvedbi ukrepov [8].
On the above basis, it was concluded that the level of dumping found during the RIP is of a lasting nature.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je bilo ugotovljeno, da je stopnja dampinga, ugotovljena med OPP, trajne narave.
Likelihood of continuation of dumping at the levels found in the interim review
Verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga po stopnjah, ugotovljenih v vmesnem pregledu
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether it was likely that dumping at the level found in the interim review would continue should measures be repealed.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je bila preučena verjetnost, da se ob morebitni razveljavitvi ukrepov nadaljuje stopnja dampinga, ugotovljena v vmesnem pregledu.
With regard to the likelihood of continuation of dumping, the development of production and production capacity was examined as well as the likely development of export sales to the European Union and to other third country markets.
Kar zadeva verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga, so bili preučeni razvoj proizvodnje in proizvodnih zmogljivosti ter verjeten razvoj izvoza v Evropsko unijo in na trge drugih tretjih držav.
Production capacity, production volume and consumption in the PRC
Proizvodna zmogljivost, obseg proizvodnje in potrošnja v LRK
Total production capacity of silicon in the PRC had to be estimated.
Treba je bilo oceniti skupno proizvodno zmogljivost za silicij v LRK.
While statistics [9] provided by the parties concerned indicated a total capacity of 2,2 million tonnes in 2008, the investigation revealed that this figure was clearly overestimated because it did not take into account a significant number of furnace closures (due to, for example, the restructuring of the silicon industry, the economic crisis and the earthquake in the Sichuan province in 2008) and also did not take into account the unstable energy supply in some regions leading factually to a lower capacity than the one recorded in the available statistics.
Medtem ko je bila v statističnih podatkih [9], ki so jih zagotovile zadevne strani, navedena skupna zmogljivost 2,2 milijona ton v letu 2008, je preiskava pokazala, da je bila ta številka očitno pretirana, ker se nista upoštevala znatno število zaprtij peči (na primer zaradi prestrukturiranja industrije silicija, gospodarske krize in potresa v provinci Sečuan v letu 2008) ter nestalna oskrba z energijo v nekaterih regijah, ki je dejansko vodila k manjši zmogljivosti, kot je bila evidentirana v razpoložljivih statističnih podatkih.
After appropriate adjustments, the actual production capacity was therefore estimated to be around 1,5 million tonnes which corresponded to an increase of at least 25 % in comparison to the capacity in 2002 (the investigation period of the previous expiry review mentioned in recital 1) where it was estimated between 600000 tonnes and 1,2 million tonnes [10].
Zato je bila po ustreznih prilagoditvah dejanska proizvodna zmogljivost ocenjena na približno 1,5 milijona ton, kar ustreza vsaj 25-odstotnemu povečanju v primerjavi z zmogljivostjo v letu 2002 (obdobje preiskave v prejšnjem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa, navedenem v uvodni izjavi 1), ki je bila ocenjena med 600000 ton in 1,2 milijona ton [10].
EUSMET claimed that it had submitted a detailed calculation of the production capacity in China using an operating rate of 40 %.
EUSMET je trdil, da je predložil podroben izračun proizvodnih zmogljivosti na Kitajskem, pri čemer je bila stopnja uporabe zmogljivosti 40-odstotna.
Its capacity estimate amounted to 1,16 million tonnes.
Ocenjena zmogljivost je znašala 1,16 milijona ton.
This claim was however found to be unsubstantiated since in particular no supporting document was provided concerning the operating rate used.
Vendar je bilo ugotovljeno, da je ta trditev neutemeljena, zlasti zaradi tega, ker v zvezi s stopnjo uporabe zmogljivosti ni bilo nobenega dokazila.
The operating rate used by the Commission stems from verified data provided by the main cooperating producers in the PRC and was therefore considered the most reliable information available in this respect.
Stopnja uporabe zmogljivosti, ki jo je upoštevala Komisija, izvira iz preverjenih podatkov, ki so jih predložili glavni sodelujoči proizvajalci v LRK, zato se je štelo, da so te razpoložljive informacije najzanesljivejše.
The same party also argued that furnaces equal to or below a certain capacity threshold would be shut down as a result of a government decision which would reduce even further the total capacity in China.
Ista stranka je trdila tudi, da se peči, katerih zmogljivost je enaka določenemu pragu zmogljivosti ali nižja od njega, ne bodo več uporabljale na podlagi odločitve vlade, kar bi nadalje zmanjšalo skupno zmogljivost na Kitajskem.
However, the investigation revealed that the government policy in question did not apply to the whole of China.
Vendar je preiskava pokazala, da se zadevna vladna politika ni uporabila na celotnem ozemlju Kitajske.
EUSMET did not provide any evidence showing the number of furnaces concerned and the impact on the total capacity.
EUSMET ni predložil nobenih dokazil v zvezi s številom zadevnih peči in njegovim vplivom na skupno zmogljivost.
The investigation also did not bring to light any significant reduction of capacity on this basis.
Preiskava tudi ni pokazala nobenega znatnega zmanjšanja zmogljivosti na tej osnovi.
EUSMET further alleged that production capacity would be close to the PRC sales volume in 2008; i.e. 960000 tonnes without, however, substantiating this statement with any evidence.
EUSMET je nadalje trdil, da bi se proizvodna zmogljivost približala obsegu prodaje v LRK v letu 2008, tj. 960000 ton, vendar te trditve ni utemeljil z nobenimi dokazili.
In addition, various factors had an impact on sales volume (such as production for stock, supply of raw materials and logistical problems due to the Olympic Games) and therefore it was considered that sales volume cannot be considered to be equal to the production capacity.
Poleg tega so na obseg prodaje vplivali različni dejavniki, kot so proizvodnja za zalogo, dobava surovin in logistični problemi zaradi olimpijskih iger, zato se je štelo, da obseg prodaje ne more biti enakovreden proizvodni zmogljivosti.
As far as production volume of silicon is concerned, on the basis of the information available, the investigation revealed that production volume increased significantly by 79 % from 535000 tonnes in 2002 to 960000 tonnes in the RIP.
Kar zadeva obseg proizvodnje silicija, je bilo v preiskavi na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij ugotovljeno, da se je obseg proizvodnje povečal kar za 79 %, in sicer s 535000 ton v letu 2002 na 960000 ton v OPP.
Spare capacities were therefore conservatively estimated to be around 540000 tonnes in the RIP which is close to the total EU consumption during the RIP and which represented almost double the Chinese domestic consumption of silicon during the same period (see recital 72).
Na podlagi previdnih ocen so proste zmogljivosti v OPP torej znašale približno 540000 ton, kar je skoraj enako celotni potrošnji v EU med OPP in skoraj dvakrat toliko, kot je v istem obdobju znašala kitajska domača potrošnja silicija (glej uvodno izjavo 72).
The investigation revealed at the same time that the Chinese consumption, which represented around 280000 tonnes in the RIP, is likely to increase in the coming years as indicated in recital 73.
Hkrati je bilo v preiskavi ugotovljeno, da se bo kitajska potrošnja, ki je v OPP znašala približno 280000 ton, v naslednjih letih verjetno povečala, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 73.
The increase in consumption has to be seen as a combination of factors and policy measures in the silicon industry and its downstream industry.
Večjo potrošnjo je treba obravnavati kot kombinacijo dejavnikov in ukrepov politike v industriji silicija in industriji na koncu proizvodne verige.
The downstream industry in the PRC is growing and several investments have been made and are planned in the near future to satisfy the growing need for downstream products.
Industrija na koncu proizvodne verige se v LRK širi, saj je bilo izvedenih in za bližnjo prihodnost načrtovanih več naložb za izpolnitev vse večje potrebe po izdelkih s konca proizvodne verige.
In addition, the Chinese authorities have introduced import restrictions for several sources (e.g. Germany, United Kingdom, Japan and USA) with regard to an important downstream product (siloxane) which was sourced in significant quantities from these countries.
Poleg tega so kitajski organi uvedli uvozne omejitve za več virov (na primer Nemčijo, Združeno kraljestvo, Japonsko in ZDA) v zvezi s pomembnim izdelkom s konca proizvodne verige (siloksanom), ki je v večjih količinah prihajal iz teh držav.
Nevertheless, even if considering the abovementioned forecast of the domestic demand and even if Chinese exports to other markets would reach their high levels of 2008 (see recital 79) overcapacity would still be significant (around 240000 tonnes in 2011).
Tudi če bi se upoštevala zgoraj navedena napoved domačega povpraševanja in bi kitajski izvoz na druge trge dosegel visoko raven iz leta 2008 (glej uvodno izjavo 79), bi bila presežna zmogljivost še vedno precejšnja (približno 240000 ton v letu 2011).
It is also noted that given the ongoing restructuring process not only demand is likely to increase in the PRC but also production capacities and volumes.
Prav tako se ugotavlja, da se bodo zaradi sedanjega procesa prestrukturiranja poleg povpraševanja v LRK povečali tudi proizvodne zmogljivosti in obseg proizvodnje.
In regard to the likely increase in production capacity in the PRC, EUSMET provided information on several planned silicon production plants and alleged that most of these plants will not materialise.
EUSMET je v zvezi z verjetnostjo povečanja proizvodne zmogljivosti v LRK predložil informacije o več načrtovanih obratih za proizvodnjo silicija ter domneval, da večina teh načrtov ne bo uresničenih.
Their allegation was merely based on comments provided by its members and was not substantiated.
Domneve so temeljile predvsem na pripombah članov Eusmeta in niso bile utemeljene.
It also claimed that if Chinese production capacity is likely to increase, it would be mainly on account of a project planned by one Union producer that would add 100000 MT/year to the production capacity of the PRC.
EUSMET je prav tako trdil, da če se bo kitajska proizvodna zmogljivost povečala, bo razlog za povečanje zlasti projekt, ki ga načrtuje proizvajalec Unije, s katerim bi proizvodni zmogljivosti v LRK dodal 100000 milijonov ton na leto.
The information provided by EUSMET was not substantiated and therefore its claim was rejected.
Informacije, ki jih je predložil EUSMET, niso bile utemeljene in zato so bile njegove trditve zavrnjene.
In this regard EUSMET claimed that Chinese domestic consumption had far outpaced the increase in production and would continue to increase.
EUSMET je v zvezi s tem trdil, da povečanje proizvodnje precej zaostaja za kitajsko domačo potrošnjo, ki se bo še naprej večala.
Therefore, the production volume in the PRC cannot meet adequately the demand on the Chinese domestic market.
Zato obseg proizvodnje v LRK ne more ustrezno zadostiti povpraševanju na kitajskem domačem trgu.
As stated above, it is undisputed that Chinese domestic demand is likely to increase in the future.
Kot je že navedeno, nedvomno drži, da se bo povpraševanje na kitajskem domačem trgu v prihodnosti verjetno povečalo.
However, as also outlined above, the findings of the investigation did not confirm the allegations made by EUSMET.
Vendar je bilo tudi že navedeno, da preiskava ni potrdila predvidevanj Eusmeta.
EUSMET neither quantified the increase in demand nor the future production volumes in China nor did it provide any other information or evidence in support of its claim which had therefore to be disregarded.
EUSMET ni izračunal niti povečanja povpraševanja niti prihodnjega obsega proizvodnje na Kitajskem ter za svoje trditve ni predložil informacij ali dokazil, zaradi česar so bile trditve zavrnjene.
Volume and price of imports from the PRC to the EU and other third country markets
Obseg in cena uvoza iz LRK v EU in na trge drugih tretjih držav
During the period considered, Chinese exports to the EU increased by 113 % despite the measures in force.
Kitajski uvoz v EU se je v obravnavanem obdobju kljub veljavnim ukrepom povečal za 113 %.
As far as prices are concerned and despite an increasing trend during the RIP, they were, throughout the period considered, below the Union industry’s sales prices in the EU.
Čeprav so se cene med OPP dvigale, so bile v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju nižje od prodajnih cen industrije Unije v EU.
As indicated in recitals 54 and 62, silicon export prices to the EU were also at significantly dumped levels both during and after the RIP.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 54 in 62, so bile tudi cene za izvoz silicija v EU med OPP in po njem izrazito dampinške.
The price level in the EU was still at higher levels than in other third country markets.
Raven cen v EU je bila še vedno višja kot na trgih drugih tretjih držav.
This explains partly the high interest of the Chinese exporters in the Union market despite the anti-dumping measures in force.
To delno pojasnjuje velik interes kitajskih izvoznikov za trg Unije kljub veljavnim protidampinškim ukrepom.
In this context, it is also noted that Chinese exporters were circumventing the anti-dumping measures in force by transhipment via the Republic of Korea [11] which further reinforces the conclusion that the Chinese exporters have a high interest in the Union market.
V zvezi s tem se še ugotavlja, da so se kitajski izvozniki izogibali veljavnim protidampinškim ukrepom s pretovarjanjem prek Republike Koreje [11], kar nadalje potrjuje ugotovitev, da imajo kitajski izvozniki velik interes za trg Unije.
Chinese exports to other third country markets were significant in volume, exceeding the volumes exported to the European Union.
Obseg kitajskega izvoza na trge drugih tretjih držav je bil precejšen in večji od količin, izvoženih v Evropsko unijo.
However, it should also be noted that the FOB prices to third countries were on average between 4 % and 14 % lower than the export price to the EU in 2008 and the first 9 months of 2009 [12] respectively.
Vendar je treba poudariti tudi, da so bile cene FOB za tretje države v letu 2008 in prvih devetih mesecih leta 2009 [12] povprečno za 4–14 % nižje od cen za izvoz v EU.
EUSMET claimed that the Commission’s finding of higher average Chinese export prices to the Union did not take account of the product mix in other markets.
EUSMET je trdil, da Komisija pri ugotovitvi višjih povprečnih kitajskih izvoznih cen za Unijo ni upoštevala različnih vrst izdelka na drugih trgih.
It is noted that EUSMET did not submit any evidence in support of this claim.
Treba je opozoriti, da EUSMET v zvezi s to trditvijo ni predložil nobenih dokazil.
It did not provide any information or explanation to what extent the product mix of exports to other third counties would indeed be different.
Prav tako ni predložil nobenih informacij ali pojasnil, do kakšne mere se vrste izdelka za izvoz v druge tretje države dejansko razlikujejo.
In any event, the information available relating to the RIP did not alter the conclusions in recital 79.
Vsekakor pa informacije, ki so na voljo za OPP, niso spremenile ugotovitev iz uvodne izjave 79.
With the exception of the USA, which is protected by high anti-dumping duties (139,49 %) against silicon originating in the PRC, Chinese exports had free access to other major third country markets.
Razen ZDA, ki so z visokimi protidampinškimi dajatvami (139,49 %) zaščitene pred uvozom silicija s poreklom iz LRK, je imel kitajski izvoz prost dostop do drugih večjih trgov tretjih držav.
EUSMET submitted that the Asian market would be the main destination for Chinese silicon and that the growth in the Japanese and Korean markets would be significant.
EUSMET je navedel, da bi bil kitajski silicij namenjen predvsem na azijski trg in da bi bila rast na japonskem in korejskem trgu precejšnja.
It is not contested that Asia is the main destination for Chinese silicon.
Nesporno je, da je kitajski silicij namenjen zlasti v Azijo.
However, even though consumption may increase in the coming years in the Japanese and South Korean markets, this consumption increase is not expected to be such as to be able to absorb the significant Chinese overcapacities.
Vendar se kljub morebitnemu povečanju potrošnje v prihodnjih letih na japonskem in južnokorejskem trgu ne pričakuje, da se bo ta potrošnja povečala do mere, da bo lahko absorbirala znatne presežne količine iz Kitajske.
In addition, the investigation has shown that the Japanese market, which is the main export market for China, is saturated with Chinese silicon.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da je japonski trg, ki je glavni izvozni trg za Kitajsko, prenasičen s kitajskim silicijem.
EUSMET alleged that, if measures were allowed to lapse, supply patterns for the chemical users would not be affected.
EUSMET je trdil, da iztek ukrepov ne bi vplival na vzorce dobave za uporabnike iz kemične industrije.
However, the investigation did not confirm this allegation since various users (chemical and aluminium applications) stated that they would indeed source increased quantities from China would the measures be allowed to lapse.
Vendar preiskava te trditve ni potrdila, saj so različni uporabniki (iz kemične industrije in industrije aluminija) navedli, da bodo ob izteku ukrepov večje količine dejansko dobavljali iz Kitajske.
Considering the above, it is expected that Chinese spare capacities will be shipped to the Union market should measures be allowed to lapse.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenega se pričakuje, da se bodo kitajske proste zmogljivosti ob morebitnem izteku ukrepov odpremile na trg Unije.
Given that imports into the EU during the RIP were dumped, it is very likely that dumping will also continue should the measures be allowed to lapse.
Ker je bil uvoz v EU med OPP dampinški, je zelo verjetno, da se bo damping ob morebitnem izteku ukrepov nadaljeval.
This is borne out by the development after the RIP where imports of silicon from the PRC continued to be at price levels below the ones during the RIP (see recital 131).
To potrjuje razvoj po OPP, ko so ravni cen za uvoz silicija iz LRK ostale nižje od ravni med OPP (glej uvodno izjavo 131).
The investigation showed that export volumes of the product concerned to the EU increased significantly over the period considered and that the level of dumping found for these imports was significant in the RIP.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je obseg izvoza zadevnega izdelka v EU v obravnavanem obdobju znatno povečal in da je bila stopnja dampinga, ugotovljena za ta uvoz, v OPP precejšnja.
In view of the spare capacities available in the PRC during the RIP and despite the increasing domestic demand, there is a strong likelihood that large quantities of silicon will be exported to the EU at dumped prices should measures be allowed to lapse.
Glede na proste zmogljivosti, ki so bile med OPP na voljo v LRK, in kljub vse večjemu domačemu povpraševanju je zelo verjetno, da se bodo velike količine silicija ob morebitnem izteku ukrepov po dampinških cenah izvozile v EU.
Indeed, domestic demand in the PRC will not be able to absorb the spare capacities and the EU market is the only significant market where overcapacities could be exported.
Domače povpraševanje v LRK dejansko ne bo moglo absorbirati prostih zmogljivosti, pri čemer je trg EU edini večji trg, na katerega bi bilo mogoče izvoziti presežne zmogljivosti.
The EU market is indeed an attractive market for Chinese exports since prices charged to EU customers are on average higher than those charged to third country customers.
Trg EU je za kitajski izvoz namreč privlačen, saj so cene, ki se zaračunajo strankam v EU, na splošno višje od cen, ki se zaračunajo strankam iz tretjih držav.
The interest of Chinese exporters in the EU market is also confirmed by circumvention practices in the past.
Interes kitajskih izvoznikov za trg EU potrjujejo tudi pretekle prakse izogibanja.
It is therefore concluded that there is a likelihood of continuation of dumping.
Ugotovljeno je torej bilo, da je nadaljevanje dampinga verjetno.
DEFINITION OF THE UNION INDUSTRY
Opredelitev industrije Unije
The three complainant Union producers replied to the questionnaires and cooperated fully in the investigation.
Trije proizvajalci Unije, ki so vložili zahtevek, so odgovorili na vprašalnik in v celoti sodelovali v preiskavi.
The complainants’ production constitutes the total Union production within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Proizvodnja vložnikov pomeni celotno proizvodnjo Unije v smislu člena 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
SITUATION OF THE UNION MARKET
Položaj na trgu Unije
Specific data relating to the Union industry and consumption had to be indexed, in accordance with Article 19 of the basic Regulation, as the Union industry comprises only three producers, two of which belong to the same group.
Posebne podatke v zvezi z industrijo Unije in potrošnjo v Uniji je bilo treba izraziti z indeksi v skladu s členom 19 osnovne uredbe, saj industrijo Unije sestavljajo le trije proizvajalci, pri čemer dva pripadata isti skupini.
Eurostat data had to be adjusted to take account of the data for which confidential treatment was requested by Member States regarding their imports of silicon, and for this reason also had to be indexed.
Podatke Eurostata je bilo treba prilagoditi, da so se upoštevali podatki, v zvezi s katerimi so države članice glede svojega uvoza silicija zaprosile za zaupno obravnavo, kar je tudi razlog, da so izraženi z indeksi.
Source: Verified questionnaire replies of the Union industry and adjusted Eurostat statistics.
Vir: preverjeni odgovori industrije Unije na vprašalnike in prilagojeni statistični podatki Eurostata.
Union consumption was based on the combined volume of sales by the Union industry in the Union and the volume of imports from third countries, based on adjusted Eurostat data.
Potrošnja Unije je temeljila na kombinaciji obsega prodaje industrije Unije v Uniji in obsega uvoza iz tretjih držav na podlagi prilagojenih podatkov Eurostata.
