It is concluded that should dumped imports continue to enter the Union market, the losses of the Union industry would be likely to lead to the permanent discontinuation of any sizeable Union production of the like product.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da bi izgube industrije Unije, če bi dampinški uvoz še naprej vstopal na trg Unije, verjetno povzročile dokončno ukinitev vsakršne obsežne proizvodnje podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
This seems to be confirmed by the developments during and after the IP, i.e. some companies has declared insolvency and/or stopped temporarily or permanently production.
Zdi se, da to potrjujejo dogodki v OP in po njem, saj so nekatere družbe prijavile plačilno nesposobnost in/ali začasno ali dokončno ustavile proizvodnjo.
Furthermore, known factors other than dumped imports, which might have injured the Union industry, were examined to ensure that any injury caused by those factors was not attributed to dumped imports.
Nadalje so bili poleg dampinškega uvoza proučeni tudi drugi znani dejavniki, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, da se morebitna škoda, ki bi jo ti dejavniki povzročili, ne bi pripisala dampinškemu uvozu.
One interested party claimed that market conditions of the product concerned differ per Member State and that therefore the causality analysis should be made at the level of each Member State separately.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da se tržne razmere za zadevni izdelek v državah članicah razlikujejo in da bi morala biti zato analiza vzročnosti izvedena za vsako državo članico posebej.
National support schemes determine to a certain extent the size of the Member States’ markets.
Nacionalne sheme podpore do določene mere določajo velikost trgov držav članic.
The investigation has however also revealed that demand does not exclusively depend on support schemes.
Preiskava pa je poleg tega pokazala, da povpraševanje ni odvisno izključno od shem podpore.
Depending on geographical location (sun exposure) and the electricity price at a given location, solar panels appear to have reached, or were at least close to, grid parity, which means that certain investments take place independently of support schemes.
Glede na zemljepisno lego (izpostavljenost soncu) in ceno električne energije na določeni lokaciji se zdi, da so sončne plošče dosegle ali skoraj dosegle pariteto omrežja, kar pomeni, da se nekatere naložbe izvajajo ločeno od shem podpore.
Therefore, it could not be established that market conditions depend exclusively on support schemes and this claim was therefore rejected.
Zato ni bilo mogoče določiti, ali so tržne razmere odvisne izključno od shem podpore, tako da je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
The investigation showed that dumped imports from the PRC increased dramatically over the period considered, increasing their volumes significantly by more than 300 % for modules and of 482 % for cells and 648 % for wafers and their market share by 17 percentage points for modules, by 17 percentage points for cells and by 27 percentage points for wafers.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je dampinški uvoz iz LRK v obravnavanem obdobju močno povečal, saj se je obseg uvoza modulov povečal za več kot 300 %, obseg uvoza celic za 482 % in obseg uvoza rezin za 648 %, njihovi tržni deleži pa so se povečali, in sicer za 17 odstotnih točk za module, za 17 odstotnih točk za celice in za 27 odstotnih točk za rezine.
Therefore, it is confirmed that volume of imports and market share for the product concerned increased dramatically during the period considered.
Zato je potrjeno, da sta se obseg uvoza in tržni delež zadevnega izdelka v obravnavanem obdobju izjemno povečala.
There was a clear coincidence in time between the increase in dumped imports and the loss of market share of the Union industry.
Povečanje dampinškega uvoza je časovno jasno sovpadalo z izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Unije.
The investigation also established that as mentioned in recital 117 above, the dumped imports undercut the prices of the Union industry during the IP.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno tudi, da je dampinški uvoz v OP nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (117).
The investigation showed that the prices of the dumped imports decreased by 64 % for modules, by 42 % for cells and by 40 % for wafers during the period considered and led to an increase of undercutting.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so se cene dampinškega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za 64 % za module, za 42 % za celice in za 40 % za rezine, zaradi česar se je nelojalno nižanje cen povečalo.
Against this price pressure, the Union industry underwent considerable effort to decrease its production costs.
Zaradi tega cenovnega pritiska je morala industrija Unije vložiti veliko truda v zmanjševanje svojih proizvodnih stroškov.
Despite these efforts the exceptionally low level of Chinese import prices forced the Union industry to further decrease its sales price to unprofitable levels.
Kljub temu je bila industrija Unije zaradi izjemno nizke ravni kitajskih uvoznih cen prisiljena dodatno znižati svoje prodajne cene na nedobičkonosno raven.
Thus, the profitability of the Union industry decreased dramatically during the period considered and showed losses during the IP.
Zato se je dobičkonosnost industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju izjemno zmanjšala in v OP ustvarila izgube.
Based on the above, it is concluded that the presence of Chinese imports and the increase of the market share of dumped imports from the PRC at prices constantly undercutting those of the Union industry have had a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry, which is reflected in particular in its poor financial situation and in the deterioration of most of the injury indicators.
Na podlagi navedenega se sklene, da sta prisotnost kitajskega uvoza in povečanje tržnega deleža dampinškega uvoza iz Kitajske po cenah, ki so stalno nelojalno nižale prodajne cene industrije Unije, odločilno vplivala na znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, kar se zlasti kaže v njenem slabem finančnem položaju in v poslabšanju večine kazalnikov škode.
Imports from other third countries
3.1 Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav
The volume of imports from other third countries during the period considered for modules increased by 19 % while the market share decreased over the period considered from 18,4 to 6,8 %.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav za module se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 19 %, tržni delež pa se je v obravnavnem obdobju zmanjšal z 18,4 % na 6,8 %.
Taiwan is the second largest exporter after the PRC.
Tajvan je drugi največji izvoznik za LRK.
The volume of imports from other third countries for cells increased by 186 % during the period considered which translated in an increase of market share from around 24 % in 2009 to around 36 % during the IP.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav za celice se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 186 %, kar se je pokazalo v povečanju tržnega deleža s približno 24 % leta 2009 na približno 36 % v OP.
As for cells, Taiwan is second largest exporter after the PRC, by far exceeding import quantities and market shares from the other third countries, but still below those from the PRC.
Tako kot za celice je Tajvan drugi največji izvoznik za LRK ter močno presega uvožene količine in tržne deleže iz drugih tretjih držav, vendar so te vrednosti še vedno nižje od tistih iz LRK.
The volume of imports from other third countries for wafers decreased by 19 % during the period considered and market share from 13,4 % in 2009 to 8,5 % in the IP.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav za rezine se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 19 %, tržni delež pa s 13,4 % leta 2009 na 8,5 % v OP.
As above, Taiwan is second largest exporter of wafers after the PRC.
Tajvan je za LRK tudi drugi največji izvoznik rezin.
However, import levels and market share of Taiwan did not show significant increases and remained at low levels during the period considered.
Raven uvoza in tržni delež Tajvana pa nista kazala bistvenega povečanja in sta v obravnavanem obdobju ostala na nizki ravni.
The import prices of third countries of modules, cells and wafers were on average higher than the average unit price of the Chinese imports.
Uvozne cene tretjih držav za module, celice in rezine so bile v povprečju višje od povprečne cene na enoto kitajskega uvoza.
The information available as regards imports from Taiwan shows that the average import price for modules and wafers was higher than the average Chinese import price for modules and wafers, while the average import price for cells was in the same range as the average Chinese import price for cells.
Razpoložljive informacije v zvezi z uvozom iz Tajvana kažejo, da je bila povprečna uvozna cena modulov in rezin višja od povprečne kitajske uvozne cene modulov in rezin, medtem ko je bila povprečna uvozna cena celic v enakem razponu kot povprečna kitajska uvozna cena celic.
However, since no detailed price information per product type was available, the price comparison on an average basis can only be used as an indication but no firm conclusions can be drawn on this basis.
Ker pa podrobne informacije o cenah posameznih vrst izdelkov niso bile na razpolago, se lahko primerjava cen na podlagi povprečij uporabi zgolj kot podatek, na podlagi katerega ni mogoče oblikovati nedvoumnih sklepov.
Throughout the period considered, volume of imports of cells from Taiwan increased continuously, resulting in a gain of market share of around 14 percentage points.
Obseg uvoza celic iz Tajvana se je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju stalno povečeval, zato se je tržni delež povečal za približno 14 odstotnih točk.
However, overall for the product under investigation, despite their increase in market share, the volumes were lower than PRC and their price levels were generally higher with the exception of cells during the IP.
Vendar je bil obseg uvoza izdelka v preiskavi kljub povečanju tržnega deleža na splošno nižji od tistega iz LRK, ravni cen v OP, razen za celice, pa so bile na splošno višje.
On these grounds, in particular in view of the import volumes and market shares from other third countries as well as their price levels, which are on average similar or higher than those from the Union industry it can be provisionally concluded that third country imports did not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Na podlagi tega je mogoče zlasti glede obsega uvoza in tržnih deležev iz drugih tretjih držav ter njihove ravni cen, ki so v povprečju podobne cenam industrije Unije ali višje od njih, začasno skleniti, da zaradi uvoza iz tretjih držav ni bila prekinjena vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.

Rezine
As mentioned in recital 108 above, Union consumption increased by 221 % for modules, 87 % for cells and 29 % for wafers during the period considered.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 108, se je potrošnja Unije v obravnavanem obdobju za module povečala za 221 %, za celice za 87 % in za rezine za 29 %.
At the same time, the market share of the PRC was increasing sharply, until 2011 and then remained stable at significant high level during the IP, when consumption fell.
Hkrati se je tržni delež LRK znatno povečeval do leta 2011 in v OP ostal stabilen na znatno visoki ravni, potrošnja pa se je zmanjševala.
Therefore, in view of the fact that, despite a decrease in Union consumption in the IP, the dumped imports from the PRC either maintained their market share (modules) or increased it (cells and wafers) to the detriment of the Union industry over the period considered, it cannot be concluded that the decrease in consumption was such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Ob upoštevanju dejstva, da je kljub zmanjšani potrošnji Unije v OP dampinški uvoz iz LRK v obravnavanem obdobju ohranil (v primeru modulov) ali povečal (v primeru celic in rezin) svoj tržni delež v škodo industrije Unije, ni mogoče sklepati, da je bilo zmanjšanje potrošnje tolikšno, da je prekinilo vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Based on the information available it is difficult to establish to what extend the demand is driven by the Member States support schemes.
Na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij je težko ugotoviti, v kolikšni meri sheme podpore držav članic vplivajo na povpraševanje.
Indeed, as mentioned below in recital 171 a variety of support schemes exists and interaction between those and demand is highly complex and therefore their precise impact is difficult to quantify.
Kot je omenjeno v uvodni izjavi 171, dejansko obstajajo različne sheme podpore, medsebojni vpliv med njimi in povpraševanjem pa je zelo zapleten, zato je težko natančno določiti njihov učinek.
However, the evidence available also indicates that even in the absence of support schemes the demand for solar energy will continue to exist and will even grow over time, albeit at lower levels than in the context of support schemes.
Vendar razpoložljivi dokazi kažejo, da bo povpraševanje po sončni energiji obstajalo tudi brez shem podpore in se bo sčasoma celo povečalo, čeprav v manjši meri kot v povezavi s shemami podpore.
In this context, several parties argued that ‘grid parity’ (i.e. when the cost to produce solar energy equals the cost to produce conventional energy) had already been reached or nearly reached in some regions of the Union.
V zvezi s tem je več strani trdilo, da je bila „pariteta omrežja“ (tj. stanje, ko so stroški proizvodnje sončne energije enaki stroškom proizvodnje konvencionalne energije) že dosežena ali skoraj dosežena v nekaterih regijah Unije.
These claims could not be confirmed by the investigation so far and will be further investigated.
Teh trditev doslej ni bilo mogoče potrditi v okviru preiskave in bodo nadalje preiskane.
Feed-in-tariffs (‘FITs’) as the main example of support schemes
3.2 Tarife za dovajanje toka kot glavni primer shem podpore
It has been claimed by several interested parties that the cause of the injury suffered by the Union industry was linked to the reductions in the feed-in-tariffs implemented by the Member States.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je vzrok za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povezan z znižanji tarif za dovajanje toka, ki so jih uvedle države članice.
Those cuts had allegedly led to a decrease of the solar installations and reduced demand for the product under investigation in the Union market, thus causing material injury to the Union industry.
Ta znižanja naj bi privedla do upada sončnih naprav in zmanjšanega povpraševanja po izdelku v preiskavi na trgu Unije, kar je povzročilo znatno škodo industriji Unije.
Member States introduced FITs, quota obligations with tradable green certificates, investment grants and tax incentives to support renewable energy generation.
Države članice so v podporo proizvodnji energije iz obnovljivih virov uvedle tarife za dovajanje toka, obveznosti glede kvot s tržnimi zelenimi certifikati, investicijsko podporo in davčne olajšave.
Support is also granted in certain Member States from EU structural funds.
Nekatere države članice dodeljujejo tudi sredstva za podporo iz strukturnih skladov EU.
The most frequently implemented support instrument for solar energy were FITs.
Najpogostejši instrument podpore za sončno energijo so bile tarife za dovajanje toka.
At this stage, the analysis of the Commission focused on this type of support scheme.
Analiza Komisije je bila v tej fazi osredotočena na to vrsto shem podpore.
FITs are a financial support instrument aiming to achieve mandatory national targets for the use of renewable energy, as prescribed by the Directive 2009/28/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council [7] on the promotion of the use of energy from renewable sources.
Tarife za dovajanje toka so instrument finančne podpore, ki je namenjen doseganju obveznih nacionalnih ciljev za uporabo obnovljivih virov energije, kot je določeno v Direktivi 2009/28/ES Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta [7] o spodbujanju uporabe energije iz obnovljivih virov.
The level of support and the way FITs operate vary by Member State.
Raven podpore in način učinkovanja tarif za dovajanje toka se razlikujeta glede na države članice.
By means of FITs grid operators are bound to buy solar energy at prices which ensure that solar energy producers (usually the owners of the solar installations) recover their costs and earn reasonable rates of return.
Tarife za dovajanje toka upravljavce omrežij obvezujejo, da sončno energijo kupijo po ceni, ki proizvajalcem sončne energije (običajno lastnikom sončnih naprav) zagotavlja povrnitev stroškov in razumno stopnjo donosa.
FITs, as other support schemes, are in most cases also subject to State aid control pursuant to Articles 107 and 108 TFEU, which ensures the absence of overcompensation for electricity producers.
Za tarife za dovajanje toka kot za druge sheme podpore v večini primerov velja nadzor državne pomoči v skladu s členoma 107 in 108 PDEU, ki zagotavlja, da proizvajalci električne energije ne prejemajo prekomernih nadomestil.
In spite of the national differences, three phenomena could be observed as regards the evolution of FITs in the Union: (i) the reduction of the FIT rates, (ii) the suspension of the FIT scheme as a whole (Spain) and (iii) the introduction of capacity thresholds (‘caps’) for the installations eligible for financing as well as overall caps on the yearly installed new supported capacity at the Member State level.
Kljub razlikam med državami je mogoče opaziti tri pojave v zvezi z razvojem tarif za dovajanje toka v Uniji: (i) znižanje stopenj tarif za dovajanje toka; (ii) popolna ukinitev sheme tarif za dovajanje toka (Španija) in (iii) uvedba pragov zmogljivosti („omejitev“) za naprave, upravičene do financiranja, in omejitev v zvezi z novo podprto zmogljivostjo, nameščeno v enem letu, na ravni države članice.
As regards the caps, they appear to have been introduced mainly during 2012 and, most likely, do therefore not have any effect on the consumption during the IP.
V zvezi z omejitvami se zdi, da so te bile uvedene predvsem v letu 2012 in zato najverjetneje niso vplivale na potrošnjo v OP.
Consequently, the analysis focused on the recent FIT suspensions in Spain and reductions of FIT rates in most Member States.
Zato je bila analiza osredotočena na nedavno ukinitev tarif za dovajanje toka v Španiji in na znižanja stopenj tarif za dovajanje toka v večini držav članic.
It was analysed whether they had an impact on the demand in the Union market and whether this could have caused the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Proučeno je bilo, ali so ukinitev in znižanja vplivala na povpraševanje na trgu Unije in ali bi to lahko povzročilo znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
In this regard, it was considered that the impact of the evolution of FITs with regard to the demand of modules was also representative for the situation with regards to cells and wafers.
V zvezi s tem se je štelo, da je bil učinek razvoja tarif za dovajanje toka v zvezi s povpraševanjem modulov reprezentativen tudi za položaj glede celic in rezin.
Indeed, as cells and wafers are indispensable for the production of modules and as they are not used in other production processes, a decrease in demand for modules triggers automatically a decrease in demand for cells and wafers.
Dejansko se zaradi manjšega povpraševanja po modulih samodejno zmanjša tudi povpraševanje po celicah in rezinah, saj so te nujne za proizvodnjo modulov in se ne uporabljajo v drugih proizvodnih procesih.
While the investigation confirmed the link between the evolution of FIT and consumption, the investigation established that the decrease in consumption between 2011 and the IP did not contribute to break the causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry as described in detail in recital 163 above.
Medtem ko je bila v preiskavi potrjena povezava med gibanjem tarif za dovajanje toka in potrošnjo, je bilo tudi ugotovljeno, da zmanjšanje potrošnje med letom 2011 in OP ni prispevalo k prekinitvi vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, kakor je podrobno opisano v uvodni izjavi 163.
Indeed, the investigation showed that while the situation of the Union industry was deteriorating, the exporting producers were able to maintain their high market shares for modules (80 %) and even increased their market shares slightly for cells (from 22 % in 2011 to 25 % during the IP) and wafers (from 32 % in 2011 to 33 % during the IP).
Dejansko je preiskava pokazala, da se je položaj industrije Unije slabšal, vendar so proizvajalci izvozniki lahko ohranili visoke tržne deleže za module (80 %) ter celo nekoliko povečali tržne deleže za celice (z 22 % leta 2011 na 25 % v OP) in rezine (z 32 % leta 2011 na 33 % v OP).
In addition it should be noted that the average price of modules charged by the Union industry dropped by 53 % over the period considered, mainly due to the significant increase of dumped imports and the substantial price pressure they exerted on the Union market.
Poleg tega je treba omeniti, da se je v obravnavanem obdobju zaračunana povprečna cena industrije Unije za module znižala za 53 %, zlasti zaradi znatnega povečanja dampinškega uvoza in bistvenega cenovnega pritiska, ki ga je ta povzročil na trgu Unije.
Therefore, the loss in profitability suffered by the Union industry cannot be mainly attributed to the FIT cutbacks.
Zaradi tega izgube dobičkonosnosti, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, ni mogoče pripisati predvsem znižanju tarif za dovajanje toka.
Consequently, it is acknowledged that FITs generated demand for solar energy and that recent FIT suspensions (as in Spain) and reductions in other Member States lowered the consumption for the product under investigation during the IP, thus possibly having contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato se prizna, da so tarife za dovajanje toka ustvarjale povpraševanje po sončni energiji in da so nedavne ukinitve tarif za dovajanje toka (kot na primer v Španiji) in znižanja v drugih državah članicah v OP zmanjšala potrošnjo izdelka v preiskavi, kar je morda prispevalo k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
However, the decrease in consumption during the IP was not such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Vendar zmanjšanje potrošnje v OP ni bilo tolikšno, da bi prekinilo vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Several parties argued that FITs cutbacks rendered the solar investment opportunities unattractive for investors and thus lowered the demand for the product concerned in the Union.
Več strani je trdilo, da so zaradi znižanja tarif za dovajanje toka priložnosti za naložbe v sončno energijo neprivlačne za vlagatelje in da je zaradi tega manjše tudi povpraševanje po zadevnem izdelku v Uniji.
