On 14 October 2011, the Commission announced by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (‘notice of initiation’) [5] the initiation of a partial interim review pursuant to Article 11(3) of the basic Regulation of the anti-dumping measures applicable to imports of certain seamless pipes and tubes, of iron or steel, originating in Russia.
Komisija je 14. oktobra 2011 z obvestilom, objavljenim v Uradnem listu Evropske unije („obvestilo o začetku“) [5], v skladu s členom 11(3) osnovne uredbe napovedala začetek delnega vmesnega pregleda protidampinških ukrepov, ki se uporabljajo za uvoz nekaterih brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali jekla s poreklom iz Rusije.
The review, which is limited in scope to the examination of dumping, was initiated following a substantiated request lodged by the TMK Group.
Pregled, ki je po obsegu omejen na proučitev dampinga, se je začel po utemeljenem zahtevku, ki ga vložila skupina TMK.
In the request the applicant provided prima facie evidence that the continued imposition of the measures at the current level is no longer necessary to offset injurious dumping.
V zahtevku je vložnik predložil dokaze prima facie, da za izravnavo škodljivega dampinga nadaljevanje ukrepov na sedanji ravni ni več potrebno.
In order to obtain the information necessary for its investigation the Commission sent a questionnaire to the applicant, which responded within the given deadline.
Za pridobitev informacij, ki so potrebne za njeno preiskavo, je Komisija vložniku poslala vprašalnik, ki se je odzval v roku.
The Commission sought and verified all information it deemed necessary for the purpose of determining the level of dumping.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za ugotovitev stopnje dampinga.
The investigation of the level of dumping covered the period from 1 October 2010 to 30 September 2011 (‘the review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).
Preiskava stopnje dampinga je zajela obdobje od 1. oktobra 2010 do 30. septembra 2011 („obdobje preiskave v zvezi s pregledom“ ali „OPP“).
The product concerned is the same as that defined in Implementing Regulation (EU) No 585/2012 which imposed the measures currently in force, i.e. seamless pipes and tubes of iron or steel, of circular cross-section, of an external diameter not exceeding 406,4 mm with a Carbon Equivalent Value (CEV) not exceeding 0,86 according to the International Institute of Welding (IIW) formula and chemical analysis [6], currently falling within CN codes ex73041100, ex73041910, ex73041930, ex73042200, ex73042300, ex73042400, ex73042910, ex73042930, ex73043180, ex73043958, ex73043992, ex73043993, ex73045189, ex73045992 and ex73045993, originating in Russia (‘the product concerned’ or ‘SPT’).
Zadevni izdelek je enak, kot ga opredeljuje Izvedbena uredba (EU) št. 585/2012, na podlagi katere so bili uvedeni trenutno veljavni ukrepi, tj. nekatere brezšivne cevi iz železa ali jekla s krožnim prečnim prerezom, z zunanjim premerom do vključno 406,4 mm in z ekvivalentom ogljika (CEV) do vključno 0,86 v skladu s formulo in kemično analizo Mednarodnega inštituta za varilstvo (IIW) [6], ki se trenutno uvrščajo pod oznake KN ex73041100, ex73041910, ex73041930, ex73042200, ex73042300, ex73042400, ex73042910, ex73042930, ex73043180, ex73043958, ex73043992, ex73043993, ex73045189, ex73045992 in ex73045993, s poreklom iz Rusije („zadevni izdelek“).
As established in the original investigation as well as in the expiry review investigation, the current investigation confirmed that the product produced in Russia and exported to the Union, the product produced and sold on the domestic market of Russia, and the product produced and sold in the Union by the Union producers have the same basic physical and technical characteristics and end uses.
Sedanja preiskava je potrdila, da imajo, kot je bilo ugotovljeno tudi v prvotni preiskavi in preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa, izdelek, ki ga proizvajajo v Rusiji in se izvaža v Unijo, izdelek, ki se proizvaja in prodaja na notranjem trgu, ter izdelek, ki ga v Uniji proizvajajo in prodajajo proizvajalci Unije, enake osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter končne uporabe.
Sales on the domestic market were made via the related companies, ZAO TMK Trade House and TMK Warehouse, which resold SPT to independent customers in Russia.
Prodaja na domačem trgu je potekala prek povezanih družb ZAO TMK Trade House in TMK Warehouse, ki sta zadevni izdelek nadalje prodajali neodvisnim strankam v Rusiji.
In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation it was first examined whether each of the exporting producers' total volume of domestic sales of the like product to independent customers was representative in comparison with its total volume of export sales to the Union, i.e. whether the total volume of such sales represented at least 5 % of the total volume of export sales of the product concerned to the Union.
V skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe se je najprej za vsakega proizvajalca izvoznika proučilo, ali je bil celoten obseg domače prodaje podobnega izdelka neodvisnim strankam reprezentativen v primerjavi s celotnim obsegom izvoza v Unijo, tj. ali je celoten obseg take prodaje predstavljal vsaj 5 % celotnega obsega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
The examination established that the domestic sales were representative for all exporting producers.
S preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila domača prodaja reprezentativna za oba proizvajalca izvoznika.
It was further examined whether each product type of the like product sold by the exporting producers on its domestic market were sufficiently representative for the purposes of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation.
Nadalje je bilo proučeno, ali je bila vsaka vrsta podobnega izdelka, ki sta jo proizvajalca izvoznika prodala na svojem domačem trgu, dovolj reprezentativna za namene člena 2(2) osnovne uredbe.
Domestic sales of a particular product type were considered sufficiently representative when the total volume of that product type sold by the applicant on the domestic market to independent customers during the RIP represented at least 5 % of its total sales volume of the comparable product type exported to the Union.
Domača prodaja posamezne vrste izdelka se je štela za dovolj reprezentativno, če je celotni obseg navedene vrste izdelka vložnika, prodanega neodvisnim strankam na domačem trgu v OPP, pomenil vsaj 5 % celotnega obsega prodaje primerljive vrste izdelka, izvoženega v Unijo.
In accordance with Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation it was subsequently examined whether the domestic sales of each product type that had been sold in representative quantities could be regarded as being made in the ordinary course of trade.
V skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe je bilo nato proučeno, ali se za domačo prodajo vsake posamezne vrste izdelka, ki je bila prodana v reprezentativnih količinah, lahko šteje, da se je izvajala v običajnem poteku trgovanja.
The normal value for the non-representative types (i.e. those of which domestic sales constituted less than 5 % of export sales to the Union or were not sold at all in the domestic market) was calculated on the basis of the cost of manufacturing per product type plus an amount for selling, general and administrative costs and for profits.
Normalna vrednost za nereprezentativne vrste (tiste, pri katerih je domača prodaja pomenila manj kot 5 % izvoza v Unijo ali se sploh niso prodajale na domačem trgu) je bila izračunana na podlagi proizvodnih stroškov za posamezno vrsto izdelka, h katerim se prištejejo zneski za prodajne, splošne in administrativne stroške ter za dobiček.
With regard to manufacturing costs, and in particular energy costs, as far as gas is concerned, it was examined whether the gas prices paid by the exporting producers reasonably reflected the costs associated with the production and distribution of gas.
V zvezi s proizvodnimi stroški in zlasti stroški za energijo, se je glede plina v preiskavi ugotavljalo, ali so cene plina, ki so jih plačevali proizvajalci izvozniki, razumno odražale stroške, povezane s proizvodnjo in distribucijo plina.
It was found that the domestic gas price paid by the exporting producers was around one third of the export price of natural gas from Russia.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je domača cena plina, ki so jo plačevali proizvajalci izvozniki, znašala približno tretjino izvozne cene zemeljskega plina iz Rusije.
In this regard, all available data indicates that domestic gas prices in Russia are regulated prices, which are far below market prices paid in unregulated markets for natural gas.
V zvezi s tem vsi razpoložljivi podatki kažejo, da so domače cene plina v Rusiji nadzorovane in precej nižje od tržnih cen, ki veljajo na nenadzorovanih trgih zemeljskega plina.
Therefore, since gas costs were not reasonably reflected in the exporting producers' records as provided for in Article 2(5) of the basic Regulation, they had to be adjusted accordingly.
Ker evidenca proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni razumno odražala stroškov za plin, je te bilo treba ustrezno prilagoditi v skladu s členom 2(5) osnovne uredbe.
In the absence of any sufficiently representative, undistorted gas prices relating to the Russian domestic market, it was considered appropriate to base the adjustment, in accordance with Article 2(5), on the basis of information from other representative markets.
Ker ni bilo na razpolago nobenih dovolj reprezentativnih neizkrivljenih cen plina z ruskega domačega trga, se je zdelo primerno, da prilagoditev v skladu s členom 2(5) temelji na informacijah z drugih reprezentativnih trgov.
After disclosure, the TMK Group argued that the gas price adjustment was contrary to Article 2(5) of the Basic Regulation and 2.2.1.1 of the WTO AD Agreement.
Po razkritju je skupina TMK trdila, da je bila prilagoditev cene plina v nasprotju s členom 2(5) osnovne uredbe in členom 2.2.1.1 Protidampinškega sporazuma STO.
As mentioned in recital (21), it was found that the domestic gas price paid by the TMK Group was around one third of the export price of natural gas from Russia.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 21, je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila domača cena plina, ki jo je plačevala skupina TMK, približno eno tretjino izvozne cene zemeljskega plina iz Rusije.
The claim made by the TMK Group was considered to be unsubstantiated and in the absence of any evidence, it was rejected.
Trditev skupine TMK se je štela za neutemeljeno in je bila v odsotnosti kakršnih koli dokazov zavrnjena.
It should be noted that some export quantities of the product concerned had not been reported by the TMK Group as they considered that these SPT did not fall within the scope of the investigation.
Opozoriti je treba, da skupina TMK določene količine zadevnega izdelka ni navedla, saj je bila mnenja, da ta zadevni izdelek ne spada v obseg preiskave.
Samples in the form of cross-sections cuts of the product allegedly falling outside the product scope before and after further processing were shown to the Commission services during the on spot verification visits which however cannot be regarded as conclusive evidence.
Službam Komisije so bili med preveritvenimi obiski predstavljeni vzorci v obliki prečnih prerezov kosov izdelka, ki naj ne bi spadal v obseg izdelka, pred in po nadaljnji predelavi, ki pa se jih ne more obravnavati kot trdne dokaze.
Having examined the issue, it was considered that these SPT fall within the product scope.
Po pregledu se šteje, da ti zadevni izdelki spadajo v obseg izdelka.
The corresponding export transactions were therefore taken into account in the dumping calculation.
Pri izračunu stopnje dampinga so se zato upoštevale ustrezne izvozne transakcije.
During a hearing chaired by the Hearing Officer on November 9, 2012, the TMK group stated that it wished to address mainly the classification issue, raised in the disclosure document, which in their view resulted in an increase of their dumping margin from circa 13-14 %.
Med zaslišanjem 9. novembra 2012, ki ga je vodil pooblaščenec za zaslišanje, je skupina TMK navedla, da želi nasloviti predvsem vprašanje razvrščanja, ki je obravnavano v dokumentu o razkritju, ki je po njihovem mnenju povzročilo povečanje njihove stopnje dampinga za približno 13–14 %.
The TMK group expressed some surprise regarding the fact that these products were considered as falling within the scope of the investigation and reiterated that these exported quantities had not been reported on the grounds that these products were ‘blanks’ (also named ‘hollows’) and not pipes, and thus, in their opinion, did not fall within the product scope.
Skupina TMK je izrazila presenečenje v zvezi z dejstvom, da se je štelo, da ti izdelki spadajo v obseg preiskave, in ponovno poudarila, da te izvožene količine niso bile navedene, ker so bili ti izdelki „neobdelani“ (imenovani tudi „substrati“) in ne cevi, zato po njihovem mnenju niso spadali v obseg izdelka.
They further indicated that in fact, this matter had been addressed very concisely by the Commission services in the course of the verification visit.
Nadalje so navedli, da so to zadevo zelo na kratko obravnavale službe Komisije med preveritvenim obiskom.
In this regard, it should be noted that the TMK Group itself indicated in one submission dated 31 August 2012, that ‘the question of whether or not “hollows” falling under CN code 73045910 should be included within the scope of the investigation has been extensively addressed in the course of the investigation’.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da je skupina TMK v vlogi z dne 31. avgusta 2012 sama navedla, da „vprašanje, ali je treba ‚neobdelane izdelke‘, ki se uvrščajo pod oznako KN 73045910, vključiti v obseg preiskave ali ne, je bilo temeljito obravnavano med preiskavo“.
In fact, both the European Steel Tube Association (‘ESTA’) and the TMK group have had ample opportunity to comment on this issue on several occasions.
Pravzaprav sta Evropsko združenje za jeklene cevi („ESTA“) in skupina TMK imela ob več priložnostih dovolj možnosti za predložitev pripomb o tem vprašanju.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the Commission services requested TMK's related importers to fill in the Annex to the questionnaire and verified the information received during an on-spot verification visit in order to collect all relevant information.
Poleg tega je treba omeniti, da so službe Komisije od povezanih uvoznikov družbe TMK zahtevale, da izpolnijo prilogo k vprašalniku, in so prejete informacije preverile med preveritvenim obiskom, da bi zbrale vse ustrezne informacije.
The statement that this matter was very ‘concisely’ addressed by the Commission services during the investigation and these products had been considered to be part of the product scope was incorrect and was therefore rejected.
Izjava, da je bilo to vprašanje med preiskavo zelo „na kratko“ obravnavano s strani služb Komisije in da so se ti izdelki šteli za del obsega izdelka, je bila nepravilna in je bila zato zavrnjena.
The TMK Group further indicated that the inclusion of these export quantities was illegal and unjustified as the Commission services failed to demonstrate that the pipes were not ‘unworked’ and the conclusions that these ‘blanks’ were ‘semi-finished’ (or partially worked) products were ill-founded.
Skupina TMK je tudi navedla, da je bila vključitev teh izvoznih količin nezakonita in neupravičena, saj službe Komisije niso dokazale, da cevi niso bile „neobdelane“, in ugotovitve, da so bili ti „substrati“„polizdelki“ (ali delno obdelani), so neutemeljene.
First it is recalled that the products covered by CN codes 73043910 and 73045910 are ‘Tubes, pipes and hollow profiles’ seamless, of iron (other than cast iron) or steel, ‘Unworked, straight and of uniform wall thickness, for use solely in the manufacture of tubes and pipes with other cross-sections and wall thicknesses’.
Najprej je treba opomniti, da so izdelki, zajeti v oznakah KN 73043910 in 73045910, „cevi in votli profili“, brezšivni, iz železa (razen litega železa) ali jekla, „neobdelani, ravni in z enakomerno debelino sten, za uporabo zgolj pri proizvodnji cevi in votlih profilov z drugimi prečnimi prerezi in debelinami sten“.
The Explanatory Note to subheadings 73043910 and 73045910 states that they include ‘seamless steel tubes usually obtained by piercing and hot-rolling or by piercing and hot drawing; they are usually called “blanks”. They are intended to be transformed into tubes of other shapes and wall thickness with more reduced dimensional tolerances. They are presented with the ends roughly cut off and deburred but are otherwise unfinished. Their exterior and interior surfaces are rough and not descaled. They are not oiled, zinc-coated or painted’.
Pojasnjevalna opomba k tarifnima podštevilkama 73043910 in 73045910 navaja, da zajema „brezšivne jeklene cevi, običajno proizvedene s prediranjem in vročim valjanjem, ali pa s prediranjem in vročim vlečenjem. Običajno jih imenujejo ‚blanks‘. Namenjene so preoblikovanju v cevi drugih oblik in debelin sten, ki imajo manjša dimenzijska odstopanja. Pojavljajo se z grobo odrezanimi robovi in ostrganimi zarobki, vendar so drugače neobdelane. Njihova zunanja in notranja površina sta grobi in neoluščeni. Niso naoljene, prevlečene s cinkom ali pobarvane“.
After consideration of the arguments put forward by the TMK Group and ESTA, it is considered that based on the various documents collected during the on-spot verification visits (customer purchase order and specifications, intercompany contracts, invoices issued by related importers, description of the standard ISO 9809-1) these tubes are indeed ‘semi-finished’ in the sense that they have to correspond to certain requirements and specifications such as ‘top quality SS hot finished tubes for cylinders, in steel type 34CrMo4 subject to UNI EN 10083-1 and DIN 1629 “annealed coarse” and “smooth at ends”, of the dimensions specified in the purchase order.’ Furthermore, other requirements which are listed in the customer purchase order and specifications such as ‘ultrasonic testing for feasible defects, thickness control, ovalization and straightness’ also point to further processing of these tubes, which is not the case for so-called ‘blanks’.
Po preučitvi utemeljitev skupine TMK in ESTA se šteje, da so na podlagi različnih dokumentov, zbranih med preveritvenimi obiski (nabavni nalogi strank in specifikacije, pogodbe med družbami, računi, ki so jih izdali povezani uvozniki, opis standarda ISO 9809-1), te cevi res „polizdelki“ v smislu, da morajo ustrezati nekaterim zahtevam in specifikacijam, kot so „vroče dodelane cevi za jeklenke najvišje kakovosti iz nerjavnega jekla vrste 34CrMo4, ki je predmet UNI EN 10083-1 in DIN 1629, ‚razbeljene‘ in ‚gladkih robov‘, mer, navedenih v nabavnem nalogu“. Poleg tega tudi druge zahteve, ki so navedene v nabavnem nalogu stranke, in specifikacije, kot so „ultrazvočno testiranje pomanjkljivosti, nadzor nad debelino, obliko in premostjo“, kažejo na nadaljnjo predelavo teh cevi, kar pa ne velja za tako imenovane „neobdelane“ izdelke.
The TMK Group claimed that the features of ‘annealed coarse’ and ‘smooth at ends’ are not among the criteria listed in the text of the relevant CN codes and the Explanatory Note to determine whether a pipe is ‘unworked’.
Skupina TMK je trdila, da značilnosti „razbeljenje“ in „gladki robovi“ ne spadajo med merila, navedena v besedilu ustreznih oznak KN in pojasnilu, ki določa, ali je cev „substrat“.
In this respect, it must be noted that heading texts and relevant Explanatory notes do not always contain an exhaustive list of all the features of the products covered.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da besedila v naslovih in ustrezne pojasnjevalne opombe ne vsebujejo vedno izčrpnega seznama vseh značilnosti vključenih izdelkov.
In relation to products such as those in question, which partake of the characteristics of different kinds of goods, classification depends on the most important features of the imported goods.
V zvezi z zadevnimi izdelki, ki imajo skupne značilnosti z različnimi vrstami blaga, je razvrščanje odvisno od najpomembnejših značilnosti uvoženega blaga.
Therefore, while noting that these features are not among the criteria listed in the text of the relevant CN codes and the Explanatory Note, they remain important elements in assessing whether or not product types can be considered to be ‘unworked’ and thus within the scope of CN codes 73043910. and 73045910.
Zato kljub ugotovitvi, da te značilnosti ne spadajo med merila, navedena v besedilu ustreznih oznak KN in pojasnilu, so pomemben element pri ocenjevanju, ali se vrste izdelka lahko štejejo za „neobdelane“ in tako znotraj oznak KN 73043910 in 73045910.
The TMK group also claimed that these tubes were not annealed as they were not heat treated as indicated in the mill test certificates.
Skupina TMK je trdila tudi, da te cevi niso bile razbeljene, saj niso bile toplotno obdelane, kot navajajo certifikati preskusa.
In this regard, it should be noted that the purchase specifications of the customer contain contradictory information as they mention heat treatment of the product.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da nabavne specifikacije stranke vsebujejo nasprotujoče si podatke, saj navajajo toplotno obdelavo izdelka.
Reference to these purchase specifications is made on other documents such as the manufacturer declaration issued by the TMK Group and the specification to the contracts signed by the TMK Group and its unrelated customer.
Na te nabavne specifikacije se sklicujejo tudi drugi dokumenti, kot je deklaracija proizvajalca, ki jo je izdala skupina TMK, in specifikacije k pogodbam, ki so jih podpisale skupina TMK ter njena nepovezana stranka.
It was further noted that in the above-mentioned intercompany contracts provided by the TMK Group during the on-spot verification, these products were initially classified in a different CN code (under measures) and were changed to a CN code not under measures (including during the IP), although, based on the information available, there were no changes to the customer purchase order and product specifications.
Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da so bili v navedenih pogodbah med družbami, ki jih je skupina TMK predložila med preveritvenim obiskom, ti izdelki prvotno razvrščeni pod drugo oznako KN (za katero veljajo ukrepi) in bili ponovno razvrščeni pod oznako KN, za katero ukrepi ne veljajo (tudi v OP), čeprav razpoložljive informacije niso navajale nobenih sprememb v zvezi z nabavnim nalogom stranke in specifikacijami izdelka.
The TMK Group argued that this change in the CN code was irrelevant as what matters under the applicable customs classification rules are the objective characteristics of the goods at the time of their importation to the Union.
Skupina TMK je trdila, da so te spremembe oznake KN nepomembne, saj so v okviru veljavnih carinskih pravil klasifikacije pomembne objektivne značilnosti blaga v času njihovega uvoza v Unijo.
While the objective characteristics of the goods at the time of their importation to the Union are an important element, it is not denied by the TMK Group that they classified the product types as falling under measures before changing that classification even without any change in the product specifications.
Čeprav so objektivne značilnosti blaga v času njegovega uvoza v Unijo pomemben element, skupina TMK ne zanika, da je uvrstila vrste izdelka pod oznako, za katero veljajo ukrepi, potem pa je navedeno razvrstitev spremenila brez kakršnih koli sprememb v specifikaciji izdelka.
This is considered to be one of the elements that leads to the conclusion that the concerned product types fall within the scope of the investigation.
To se šteje za enega izmed elementov, ki vodi do zaključka, da zadevne vrste izdelka spadajo v obseg preiskave.
It was also noted that the unrelated customer's purchase specifications clearly referred to ‘semi finished’ products rather than ‘blanks’ or ‘hollows’.
Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da je bilo na nabavnih specifikacijah nepovezane stranke jasno navedeno, da gre za „polizdelek“ in ne „neobdelan izdelek“ ali „substrat“.
