Even if there were fluctuations in the level of consumption within the Union through the period considered which may have contributed to the Union industry’s poor performance at some stage, overall, it cannot be considered to have an impact such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of that industry suffered during the IP.
Kljub nihanju v ravni potrošnje znotraj Unije v obravnavanem obdobju, ki bi v neki fazi lahko prispevalo k slabemu rezultatu industrije Unije, na splošno ni mogoče trditi, da bi bil njegov vpliv tolikšen, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodljivimi razmerami, ki so v tej industriji nastale v OP.
The claims were therefore rejected.
Trditve so bile zato zavrnjene.
Exports by Union industry
Izvoz industrije Unije
According to data from Eurostat (export volume) and the sampled Union producers (average export price), exports by the Union industry developed as follows during the period considered:
Po podatkih Eurosata (obseg izvoza) in vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije (povprečna izvozna cena) se je izvoz industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju razvijal na naslednji način:
Volume of exports (tonnes)
Obseg izvoza (v tonah)
Average export price (EUR/tonne)
Povprečna izvozna cena (EUR/tona)
Therefore, the injury would have been caused by the unfavourable development of the export sales of the EU industry.
Zato bi lahko škodo povzročil neugoden razvoj izvoza industrije EU.
In this context, it should firstly be noted that the injury analysis focuses on the situation of the Union industry on the Union market.
V tem smislu je treba najprej upoštevati, da se analiza škode osredotoča na položaj industrije Unije na trgu Unije.
Therefore changes of the export performance, if any, does not have any impact on most of the indicators analysed above, such as sales volume, market share and prices.
Zato morebitne spremembe izvoza ne vplivajo na večino zgoraj analiziranih kazalcev, kot so obseg prodaje, tržni delež in cene.
Secondly, exports by the Union industry can be interpreted as a way to compensate decreasing sales on the Union market, i.e. where injury is being suffered.
Poleg tega se lahko izvoz industrije Unije razume kot način za nadomestitev zmanjševanja prodaje na trgu Unije, tj. kjer je nastala škoda.
Thirdly, as the above table shows, overall exports from the Union decreased by 3 %.
Kot je prikazano v zgornji preglednici, se je celoten izvoz iz Unije zmanjšal za 3 %.
Lastly, the exports prices of the cooperating sampled producers sales remained stable over the period considered.
Izvozne cene prodaje sodelujočih vzorčenih proizvajalcev so v obravnavanem obdobju ostale stabilne.
The claim was therefore rejected and it is concluded that the export performance of the Union industry did not cause any material injury.
Zahtevek je bil zato zavrnjen, pri čemer se ugotavlja, da izvoz industrije Unije ni povzročil znatne škode.
Elimination of the import quotas
Odprava uvoznih kvot
One year later, once the quotas lifted, those imports went up to 530294 tonnes.
Eno leto pozneje, tj. po odpravi kvot, se je uvoz povečal do 530294 ton.
Since then, Chinese imports have never been less than 449000 tonnes per year.
Od takrat kitajski uvoz nikoli ni bil manjši od 449000 ton na leto.
As concerns the role of the import quotas in the injury observed during the period considered it should first be noted that, given that the quotas were gradually increased and removed 3 years before the beginning of the period considered and 6 years before the beginning of the IP, there had already been a severe restructuring in the Union market as from 2002 to account for these changed market circumstances.
V zvezi z vplivom uvoznih kvot na škodo v obravnavanem obdobju je treba glede na to, da so se kvote postopoma povečevale in da so bile odpravljene tri leta pred začetkom obravnavanega obdobja ter šest let pred OP, najprej upoštevati, da se je od leta 2002 trg Unije že močno prestrukturiral, da bi se upoštevale te spremenjene tržne razmere.
This is also corroborated by information submitted by the complainant on closures and insolvencies of European ceramic tableware producers.
To potrjujejo tudi podatki, ki jih je predložil pritožnik v zvezi s prenehanjem poslovanja in plačilno nesposobnostjo evropskih proizvajalcev keramične namizne posode.
As a result, the Union industry had been, by the beginning of the period considered, converted into a downsized and performing sector.
Zato se je industrija Unije do začetka obravnavanega obdobja spremenila v zmanjšan in donosen sektor.
Consequently, one might argue that the effects of the ending of the import quotas for the product concerned in 2005 may have negatively affected the health state of the Union industry before the beginning of the period considered.
Iz tega bi lahko sklepali, da bi lahko odprava uvoznih kvot za zadevni izdelek leta 2005 negativno vplivala na položaj industrije Unije pred začetkom obravnavanega obdobja.
But even if this is the case, it is still the dumped imports which have caused the injury in the IP.
Vendar je škodo v OP, tudi če bi to držalo, še vedno povzročil dampinški uvoz.
Therefore, the elimination of the import quota as from 2005 does not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of the industry during the period considered and the IP.
Zato odprava uvoznih kvot od leta 2005 ne prekinja vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, povzročeno industriji v obravnavanem obdobju in OP.
Anti-competitive practices on the Union market
Nekonkurenčne prakse na trgu Unije
Several parties alleged that injury is caused by anti-competitive practices on the Union market and it was also stated that this anti-dumping proceeding was launched to recuperate losses produced by fines for illegal cartels.
Več strani je trdilo, da škodo povzročajo nekonkurenčne prakse na trgu Unije, pri čemer so navedle tudi, da je bil cilj uvedbe tega protidampinškega postopka povrnitev izgub, nastalih zaradi glob, izrečenih v zvezi z nezakonitimi karteli.
CCCLA stated that the presence of collusive practices on the Union market may render the injury data (namely sales prices, sales volumes, market share and profits) both in the complaint and collected throughout the investigation unreliable given that they do not represent a situation that reflects the normal operation of the market.
CCCLA je navedla, da bi bili lahko podatki o škodi (prodajne cene, obseg prodaje, tržni delež in dobiček) iz pritožbe in podatki o škodi, zbrani med preiskavo, zaradi tajnega dogovarjanja na trgu Unije nezanesljivi, ker ne predstavljajo razmer, ki odražajo običajno delovanje trga.
On the one hand, it is noted that in 2010 the Commission fined seventeen bathroom fixtures and fittings undertakings for a price fixing cartel between 1992 and 2004 affecting six Member States: Germany, Austria, Italy, France, Kingdom of Belgium (Belgium) and the Kingdom of Netherlands (Netherlands) [8].
Na eni strani se upošteva, da je Komisija leta 2010 naložila plačilo globe sedemnajstim podjetjem, dejavnim na področju kopalniške opreme, in sicer zaradi sodelovanja v kartelu za določanje cen med leti 1992 in 2004, ki je zajemal šest držav članic: Nemčijo, Avstrijo, Italijo, Francijo, Kraljevino Belgijo (Belgijo) in Kraljevino Nizozemsko (Nizozemsko) [8].
The practices in question took place before the period considered and concerned other products.
Zadevne dejavnosti so se izvajale pred obravnavanim obdobjem in so zadevale druge izdelke.
In addition, the only undertaking concerned which was also active in the ceramic tableware and kitchenware sector during the period considered filed an action for the annulment of that fine with the General Court of the European Union.
Poleg tega je edino zadevno podjetje, ki je bilo v obravnavanem obdobju dejavno tudi v sektorju keramične namizne in kuhinjske posode, pri Splošnem sodišču Evropske unije vložilo tožbo za odpravo zadevne globe.
This action remains pending.
Obravnava tožbe še ni končana.
Moreover, that investigation concerns only one Member State, while the Union industry is quite widespread.
Poleg tega ta preiskava zadeva le eno državo članico, čeprav je industrija Unije precej razširjena.
As to the reference made by some parties to the fact that some manufacturers in the Union changed their activities and became also traders of China-origin products, this is a business option which cannot be labelled as being anti-competitive.
Kar zadeva navedbe nekaterih strani, da so nekateri proizvajalci v Uniji spremenili svojo dejavnost in postali tudi trgovci na drobno z izdelki kitajskega porekla, gre za poslovno možnost, ki je ni mogoče šteti za protikonkurenčno.
Production methods
Načini proizvodnje
According to certain parties, the choices made by Union producers as far as production methods are concerned clearly contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Nekatere strani so menile, da je izbira proizvajalcev Unije v zvezi z načini proizvodnje nedvomno prispevala k škodi, povzročeni industriji Unije.
These parties underline that Union production methods are by far less efficient than Chinese ones – Union production methods are fully automatic which would entail high re-setting costs when runs are short, expensive mould making, more costly raw materials and, due to a two-firing process, higher energy costs.
Te strani poudarjajo, da so načini proizvodnje v Uniji veliko manj učinkoviti kot na Kitajskem – načini proizvodnje v Uniji so popolnoma avtomatski, kar pomeni visoke stroške ponovnega zagona pri majhnih serijah, drago izdelovanje kalupov, dražje surovine in višje stroške energije zaradi postopka dvojnega žganja.
Moreover, unlike Union producers, Chinese manufacturers would work on the basis of orders, bear less storing costs and sell their total production in batches without grading and coupled with price discounts.
Poleg tega za razliko od proizvajalcev Unije kitajski proizvajalci delajo na podlagi naročil, imajo nižje stroške skladiščenja in svojo celotno proizvodnjo prodajo v serijah brez razvrščanja ter s cenovnimi popusti.
Also the cost for decal transfers for in-glaze decoration would be almost double in the Union.
Tudi strošek preslikave vzorcev na glazuro pred žganjem izdelkov bi bil v Uniji skoraj dvakrat višji.
On the other hand, certain parties pointed at the efficiency of Union production methods for instance as regards longer runs.
Na drugi strani so nekatere strani izpostavile učinkovitost načinov proizvodnje Unije, na primer v zvezi z večjimi serijami.
The investigation showed the existence of relevant technology transfer worldwide.
Preiskava je pokazala obstoj ustreznega prenosa tehnologije po vsem svetu.
It could not establish a link between a specific production method and success in the business.
S preiskavo ni bilo mogoče dokazati povezave med posameznim načinom proizvodnje in uspehom na poslovnem področju.
It could not establish either that having opted for a specific production method was significant enough to have an impact such as to break the causal link between dumped imports from the country concerned and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Prav tako ni bilo mogoče dokazati, da je izbira posameznega načina proizvodnje vplivala na prekinitev vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz zadevne države in škodo, ki je bila povzročena industriji Unije.
Second-hand markets
Trg rabljenih izdelkov
According to a non-sampled importer households have become smaller over the last decades and dispose of unnecessary items via flea markets, web auctions or other forms of second-hand markets.
Glede na navedbe nevzorčenega uvoznika so se gospodinjstva v zadnjih desetletjih zmanjšala, pri čemer predmete, ki jih ne potrebujejo več, prodajajo na boljših trgih, spletnih dražbah ali na drugih trgih rabljenih izdelkov.
For this party, second-hand tableware and kitchenware serve a significant part of current demand and are in direct competition with newly-manufactured tableware and kitchenware.
Po mnenju te strani se z rabljeno namizno in kuhinjsko posodo pokrije znaten del trenutnega povpraševanja, pri čemer je ta posoda neposredno konkurenčna novo izdelani namizni in kuhinjski posodi.
The non-sampled importer provided supporting documentation on web auction values for several product lines of well-known German porcelain manufacturers.
Eden od nevzorčenih uvoznikov je predložil podporno dokumentacijo z vrednostmi, ki jih posamezne linije izdelkov znanih nemških proizvajalcev porcelana dosegajo na spletnih dražbah.
However, no reasonable basis could be found for extrapolating the volumes and prices from a German speaking platform on very specific collections of three German companies to other Union countries or other product ranges.
Vendar ni bilo utemeljene podlage za ekstrapolacijo podatkov o obsegu in cenah, ki temeljijo na stanju v Nemčiji, v zvezi z zelo specifičnimi zbirkami treh nemških podjetij, na druge države Unije ali druge skupine proizvodov.
It was, therefore, impossible to quantify this market and the investigation could not establish that second-hand sales were significant enough to have an impact such as to break the causal link between dumped imports from the country concerned and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato tega trga ni bilo mogoče količinsko opredeliti in s preiskavo dokazati, da prodaja rabljenih izdelkov vpliva na prekinitev vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz zadevne države in škodo, ki je bila povzročena industriji Unije.
According to CCCLA, the alleged injury is caused by the impact of the financial crisis, economic recession and sovereign debt crisis on consumer budgets.
CCCLA meni, da je domnevno škodo povzročil vpliv finančne krize, gospodarske recesije in državne dolžniške krize na proračune potrošnikov.
The complainants being, allegedly, profitable at the operating level, CCCLA considers that the losses reported are to be attributed to financial speculation (such as losses on equity or on sovereign bonds) and non-operating expenses linked to the financial crisis.
Ker naj bi bili pritožniki na operativni ravni dobičkonosni, CCCLA meni, da so navedene izgube posledica finančnih špekulacij (kot so izgube lastniških finančnih instrumentov ali državnih obveznic) in neoperativnih stroškov, povezanih s finančno krizo.
The economic crisis may explain contraction in consumption during parts of the period considered.
Zmanjšanje potrošnje v delih obravnavanega obdobja je mogoče pojasniti z gospodarsko krizo.
However, it is noteworthy that in a situation of decreasing consumption in the period considered and in a situation of increasing consumption in the period between 2009 and the IP, the performances of the low-priced dumped imports contrast with those of the Union industry.
Vendar je treba upoštevati, da je v razmerah zmanjšane potrošnje v obravnavanem obdobju in v razmerah povečane potrošnje v obdobju med letom 2009 in OP uspešnost poceni dampinškega uvoza nasprotna uspešnosti industrije Unije.
The investigation clearly shows that the dumped imports from China have intensified the effect of the economic downturn.
Preiskava je jasno pokazala, da so se zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz Kitajske povečali učinki upada gospodarske rasti.
Even during the general economic recovery, the Union industry was unable to recover and to regain significant sales volumes and lost significant market share throughout the period considered whereas the Chinese dumped imports gained more market share.
Tudi med splošno oživitvijo gospodarstva si industrija Unije ni mogla opomoči in ponovno doseči večjega obsega prodaje, pri čemer je v obravnavanem obdobju izgubila pomemben tržni delež, medtem ko se je tržni delež kitajskega dampinškega uvoza povečal.
Therefore, although the economic crisis may have contributed to the Union industry’s poor performance, overall, it cannot be considered to have an impact such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injurious situation of that industry suffered during the IP.
Zato kljub morebitnemu vplivu gospodarske krize na slabo uspešnost industrije Unije na splošno ni mogoče trditi, da je ta vpliv prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodljivimi razmerami, ki so bile povzročene tej industriji med OP.
An association pointed at other factors that, in its view, would break the causal link.
Eno od združenj je izpostavilo druge dejavnike, ki bi po njegovem mnenju lahko prekinili vzročno zvezo.
This party referred to intra-Union competition (on the basis that prices within the Union differ considerably) and to the Union safety and health requirements, which are becoming more stringent, thus causing increased production costs.
Ta stran se je sklicevala na konkurenco znotraj Unije (na podlagi dejstva, da so cene v Uniji zelo različne) ter na vse strožje varnostne in zdravstvene zahteve v Uniji, zaradi katerih so stroški proizvodnje vse višji.
Other factors cited included counterfeiting by some Chinese manufacturers and the existence of non-tariff barriers in a number of non-EU markets, which would hinder exports by Union manufacturers.
Drugi navedeni dejavniki vključujejo ponarejanje s strani nekaterih kitajskih proizvajalcev in netarifne ovire na številnih trgih zunaj EU, kar bi lahko oviralo izvoz proizvajalcev Unije.
As regards the inter-Union competition argumentation, the investigation did not show any link between injury, the location of Union producers and prices in that Member State.
Kar zadeva konkurenco znotraj Unije, preiskava ni pokazala povezave med škodo, geografskim položajem proizvajalcev Unije in cenami v zadevni državi članici.
As to the Union safety and health requirements, it is noted that they are applicable to Union-made and imported products, thus impact prices of all operators.
Kar zadeva varnostne in zdravstvene zahteve Unije, je treba opozoriti, da veljajo za izdelke, izdelane v Uniji, in uvožene izdelke, pri čemer vplivajo na cene vseh subjektov.
Given that no information to substantiate the counterfeiting claim was submitted, the effects of that claim could not be analysed.
Glede na to, da ni bil predložen noben podatek v utemeljitev zahtevka v zvezi s ponarejanjem, učinkov tega zahtevka ni bilo mogoče analizirati.
The claim regarding the existence of non-tariff barriers in a number of non-EU markets could not be retained: such barriers could prevent Union producers from exploiting their export potential, however it has no impact on decreasing sales on the Union market, i.e. where injury is being suffered.
Zahtevka v zvezi z netarifnimi ovirami na številnih trgih zunaj EU ni bilo mogoče ohraniti: takšne ovire bi lahko proizvajalcem Unije preprečile razvoj njihovega izvoznega potenciala, nimajo pa vpliva na zmanjševanje prodaje na trgu Unije, tj. kjer je nastala škoda.
CCCLA pointed at other factors namely shortages of skilled labour on the Union market and self-inflicted injury, on the basis that some Union manufacturers import the product concerned.
CCCLA je izpostavila druge dejavnike, in sicer pomanjkanje kvalificirane delovne sile na trgu Unije in samopovzročeno škodo, ki izhajajo iz dejstva, da nekateri proizvajalci Unije zadevni izdelek uvažajo.
However, based on the information available, it is concluded that overall the whole Union industry was in a poor situation and the fact that the number of business models has spread did not cause any injury to the Union industry and should rather be interpreted as a way to compensate decreasing sales on the Union market.
Na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij se sklene, da je bila celotna industrija Unije v slabem položaju, pri čemer dejstvo, da so se razširili številni poslovni modeli, ni povzročilo škode industriji Unije ter ga je treba razumeti kot nadomestilo za zmanjšano prodajo na trgu Unije.
As regards any shortage of skilled labour in the ceramic tableware and kitchenware sector in the Union, no interested parties located in the Union claimed to be concerned.
Zainteresirane strani iz Unije v zvezi s pomanjkanjem kvalificirane delovne sile v sektorju keramične namizne in kuhinjske posode v Uniji niso predložile nobenega zahtevka.
An importer invited the institutions to analyse the impact of other types of tableware and kitchenware, such as plastic, aluminium, melamine and glass.
Eden od uvoznikov je institucije pozval, naj analizirajo vpliv drugih vrst namizne in kuhinjske opreme, na primer plastične, aluminijaste, melaminske in steklene.
However, no information was submitted to substantiate the claim.
Kljub temu ni bil predložen noben podatek v utemeljitev zahtevka.
The investigation could not establish any finding about this issue.
S preiskavo v zvezi s tem ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti ničesar.
Some parties link the injury suffered by the Union industry to the situation of the Union industry before the period considered.
Nekatere strani škodo, ki je bila povzročena industriji Unije, povezujejo z razmerami v industriji Unije pred obravnavanim obdobjem.
That was also the case for another event which took place long before the period considered: the state aid received by the German porcelain industry and which, according to a non-sampled importer, would prove that the Union industry did not increase its efficiency [9].
To velja tudi za dogodek, ki se je zgodil veliko pred obravnavanim obdobjem: državna pomoč, ki jo je prejela nemška industrija porcelana in na podlagi katere bi bilo po mnenju nevzorčenega uvoznika mogoče dokazati, da industrija Unije ni povečala svoje učinkovitosti [9]
The examination of the other known factors which could have caused injury to the Union industry revealed that these factors are not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Preiskava drugih znanih dejavnikov, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, je pokazala, da ti dejavniki nimajo takšnega vpliva, da bi lahko prekinili vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in škodo, ki je bila povzročena industriji 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 is provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from China have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgornje analize, pri kateri so bili učinki vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije ustrezno opredeljeni in ločeni od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza, se začasno sklene, da je dampinški uvoz iz Kitajske povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije 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 is 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 utemeljeni razlogi, zaradi katerih bi bilo mogoče skleniti, 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 interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov in uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
The Union industry consists of more than 200 producers, with factories located in different Member States of the Union, directly employing more than 25000 people in the IP in the production and sale of the like product.
Industrija Unije zajema več kot 200 proizvajalcev s tovarnami v različnih državah članicah Unije, v katerih je v OP na področju proizvodnje in prodaje podobnega izdelka neposredno zaposlenih več kot 25000 ljudi.
The investigation established that the Union industry has suffered material injury caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned during the investigation period.
Pri preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila industriji Unije v obdobju preiskave zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz zadevne države povzročena znatna škoda.
