While the investigation confirmed a link between the FIT rates and the level of investments in the solar industry, it also showed that investments in the solar energy are less dependent in regions with high sun exposure where production of solar energy is more efficient and in regions with high electricity prices.
Preiskava je potrdila povezavo med stopnjami tarif za dovajanje toka in ravnijo naložb v sončno industrijo, pokazala pa je tudi, da so naložbe v sončno energijo manj odvisne v regijah z visoko izpostavljenostjo soncu, kjer je proizvodnja sončne energije učinkovitejša, in v regijah z visokimi cenami električne energije.
Indeed, the investigation showed that investments are still being made (e.g. in Spain) in spite of the suspension of the FIT scheme.
Dejansko je preiskava pokazala, da se naložbe še vedno izvajajo (npr. v Španiji) kljub ukinitvi sheme tarif za dovajanje toka.
Moreover, the investigation showed that solar energy investment opportunities still remained attractive even with lower FIT rates.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da so priložnosti za naložbe v sončno energijo ostale privlačne tudi pri nižjih stopnjah tarif za dovajanje toka.
On the basis of the above it could not be clearly concluded that the FIT cutbacks rendered the solar investments unattractive for investors and thus contributing to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Na podlagi navedenega ni bilo mogoče nedvoumno skleniti, da so zaradi znižanja tarif za dovajanje toka naložbe v sončno energijo neprivlačne za vlagatelje in da to prispeva k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
One interested party argued that the decrease in FITs forced Union producers to decrease their prices to keep the interests of the investors in PV energy and to keep developing demand and growth.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da so morali proizvajalci Unije zaradi znižanja tarif za dovajanje toka znižati cene, da bi zagotovili nadaljnji interes vlagateljev v fotonapetostno energijo ter še naprej razvijali povpraševanje in rast.
The investigation showed that the Union industry was forced to decrease its prices mainly due to the pressure of the dumped imports and not to the FIT cutbacks.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je morala industrija Unije znižati cene predvsem zaradi pritiska dampinškega uvoza in ne zaradi znižanja tarif za dovajanje toka.
This is indicated by the fact that the most significant decrease in the prices of the Union industry occurred in 2010 and 2011, before the major FIT cutbacks took place.
Utemeljitev za to je dejstvo, da je do najznatnejšega znižanja cen industrije Unije prišlo v letih 2010 in 2011, torej pred večjimi znižanji tarif za dovajanje toka.
Indeed, the increase in dumped imports from the PRC significantly undercutting the Union industry’s prices forced the Union industry to cut down their prices to increasingly low levels.
Dejansko je morala industrija Unije nižati svoje cene na vedno nižjo stopnjo zaradi povečanja dampinškega uvoza iz LRK in posledičnega znatnega nelojalnega nižanja cen industrije Unije.
On these grounds, the claim was therefore rejected.
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
In summary, FITs have been an important factor for the development of the PV market in the Union and the evolution of consumption of the product under investigation was influenced by the existence of the FITs.
Na kratko, tarife za dovajanje toka so pomemben dejavnik pri razvoju fotonapetostnega trga v Uniji, obstoj teh tarif pa je vplival na razvoj potrošnje izdelka v preiskavi.
However, the investigation showed that the consumption did not decrease significantly despite important FIT cutbacks.
Preiskava pa je pokazala tudi, da se kljub pomembnim znižanjem tarif za dovajanje toka potrošnja ni bistveno zmanjšala.
Therefore, it is provisionally concluded that the developments of FITs were not such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato se začasno sklene, da razvoj tarif za dovajanje toka ni bil tak, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Other financial support granted to the Union industry
3.3 Druga finančna podpora, odobrena industriji Unije
Some interested parties claimed that the material injury suffered by the Union industry was due to a decrease of financial support granted to the Union industry.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je vzrok za znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, zmanjšanje finančne podpore, odobrene industriji Unije.
In support of this claim, information was provided based on subsidies granted to one of the Union producers prior to the period considered (between 2003 and 2006).
V podporo tej trditvi so bile predložene informacije, ki temeljijo na subvencijah, odobrenih enemu od proizvajalcev Unije pred obravnavanim obdobjem (med letoma 2003 in 2006).
The evidence provided did not reveal any link between the material injury suffered by the Union industry and any alleged subsidy received by one of the Union producers during the period preceding the period considered.
Na podlagi predloženih dokazov ni bila odkrita povezava med znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in domnevno subvencijo, ki jo je v obdobju pred obravnavanim obdobjem prejel eden od proizvajalcev Unije.
Moreover, as this information predates the period considered, it seems to be irrelevant.
Poleg tega se informacije nanašajo na obdobje pred obravnavanim obdobjem, zato se zdi, da so nepomembne.
Therefore, no link could be established between any alleged subsidy received by the Union industry and the material injury suffered.
Zato ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti povezave med domnevno subvencijo, ki jo je prejela industrija Unije, in povzročeno znatno škodo.
On this ground, the argument was rejected.
Ta argument je bil zato zavrnjen.
Overcapacity
3.4 Presežna zmogljivost
It has been claimed that the material injury suffered by the Union industry was due to an overcapacity in the Union market and in the global market in general.
Zatrjeno je bilo, da je bil vzrok za znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, presežna zmogljivost na trgu Unije in na globalnem trgu na splošno.
It was also argued that the overcapacity in the global market led to the consolidation of the Union industry that is currently taking place and that any injury suffered was a consequence of too many production facilities.
Zatrjeno je bilo tudi, da je presežna zmogljivost na globalnem trgu privedla do sedanje konsolidacije industrije Unije in da je bila povzročena škoda posledica prevelikega števila proizvodnih obratov.
Moreover, several interested parties claimed that the material injury suffered by the Union industry was linked to the self-inflicted overexpansion of capacity of the EU industry.
Poleg tega je več zainteresiranih strani trdilo, da je bila znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povezana s samopovzročenim prekomernim povečanjem zmogljivosti industrije EU.
On the contrary, some interested parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry is due to the Union industry’s failure to make the necessary investments in capacity additions.
Nasprotno pa so nekatere zainteresirane strani trdile, da je bila škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica dejstva, da industrija Unije ni izvedla potrebnih naložb v povečanje zmogljivosti.
While the Union industry indeed increased its production capacity, its total production volume did not cover the increasing consumption levels in the Union market during the period considered.
Medtem ko je industrija Unije dejansko povečala svojo proizvodno zmogljivost, pa njen celotni obseg proizvodnje v obravnavanem obdobju ni pokril povišanih stopenj potrošnje na trgu Unije.
Thus, the increase of the Union industry production capacity was reasonable and followed market developments, i.e. the increase in consumption.
Povečanje proizvodne zmogljivosti industrije Unije je bilo torej razumno in je sledilo razvoju trga, tj. povečanju potrošnje.
It cannot therefore be considered as a cause of the injury suffered.
Zato ni mogoče šteti, da je to bil vzrok za povzročeno škodo.
Likewise, on this basis, the argument that the Union industry did not invest in capacity expansion was not confirmed during the investigation.
Ob upoštevanju tega med preiskavo tudi ni bil potrjen argument, da industrija Unije ni vlagala v povečanje zmogljivosti.
To the contrary however, as mentioned above, throughout the period considered the Union industry progressively increased capacity and had available excess capacity throughout the period considered, indicating that it was capable of supplying additional demand.
V nasprotju s tem in kakor je bilo že navedeno, pa je industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju postopoma povečevala zmogljivost in imela na voljo presežne zmogljivosti v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, kar kaže na to, da bi lahko zadostila dodatnemu povpraševanju.
Therefore, this argument had to be rejected.
Zato je bilo treba ta argument zavrniti.
Some interested parties claimed that all operators in the market, including the ones in the downstream and upstream sectors were in a difficult situation which was due to the overcapacity in the global market and the resulted change of the market.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da so bili udeleženci na trgu, tudi tisti v sektorjih višje ali nižje v prodajni verigi, v težkem položaju zaradi presežne zmogljivosti na globalnem trgu in posledične spremembe trga.
In this regard it was argued that the product under investigation has become a commodity where individual producers are not able anymore to set prices but where prices are subject to worldwide demand and supply.
V zvezi s tem je bilo zatrjeno, da je izdelek v preiskavi postal blago, za katerega posamezni proizvajalci ne morejo več določati cen, ampak na cene vplivata svetovna povpraševanje in ponudba.
It was alleged that this situation has caused the material injury of the Union industry rather than the dumped imports.
Zatrjeno je bilo tudi, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo zaradi takega položaja in ne zaradi dampinškega uvoza.
The investigation confirmed the existence of overcapacity in the global market, mainly originating in the PRC.
Preiskava je potrdila obstoj presežne zmogljivosti na globalnem trgu, ki izvira predvsem iz LRK.
Concerning the market change that would allegedly bring the product under investigation to be a commodity, this would not justify an unfair price behaviour and unfair trade practices.
V zvezi s spremembo trga, zaradi katere naj bi izdelek v preiskavi domnevno postal blago, ta ne bi upravičevala nepoštenega določanja cen in nepoštenih trgovinskih praks.
In this respect, it should be noted that the Union industry has been producing and selling the product under investigation for more than 20 years, while the PRC industry of the product concerned developed only recently (around mid of last decade), mainly attracted by the feed-in-tariffs and other policy incentives in Union and the subsequent increase in demand.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da industrija Unije izdelek v preiskavi proizvaja in prodaja več kot 20 let, medtem ko se je industrija zadevnega izdelka v LRK razvila šele nedavno (približno sredi prejšnjega desetletja), in sicer predvsem zaradi privlačnosti tarif za dovajanje toka in drugih spodbud politike v Uniji ter posledičnega povečanja povpraševanja.
Impact of raw material prices
3.5 Vpliv cen surovin
Several interested parties claimed that the material injury suffered by the Union industry was linked to the evolution of prices of polysilicon, the main raw material for the production of wafers.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je bila znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povezana z razvojem cen polisilicija, tj. glavne surovine za proizvodnjo rezin.
It was argued that the Union industry concluded long term fixed priced supply contracts and could therefore not benefit from the decrease in polysilicon prices during the period considered.
Zatrjeno je bilo, da je industrija Unije sklepala dolgoročne dobavne pogodbe s fiksnimi cenami in zato v obravnavanem obdobju ni mogla imeti koristi od znižanja cen polisilicija.
The investigation showed that although the Union industry had long term supply contracts for polysilicon, the terms of these contracts were mostly renegotiated based on the price developments of polysilicon and contract prices reached levels close to or sometimes even lower than prices on the spot market.
Preiskava je pokazala, da kljub temu, da je industrija Unije sklepala dolgoročne dobavne pogodbe, se je o pogojih teh pogodb večinoma ponovno pogajalo na podlagi gibanja cen polisilicija, pogodbene cene pa so dosegle raven, ki je bila blizu cenam na promptnem trgu ali včasih celo pod njimi.
On these grounds, it is concluded that even if some specific Union producers may have been affected by long term contracts for the supply of polysilicon, the Union industry, overall, did not suffer from these long term contracts and were able to fully benefit from the price decrease in polysilicon prices.
Na podlagi tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da so dolgoročne pogodbe za dobavo polisilicija morda prizadele nekaj določenih proizvajalcev Unije, vendar industrija Unije na splošno zaradi teh dolgoročnih pogodb ni utrpela škode in je lahko v celoti izkoristila znižanje cen polisilicija.
The long term contracts were therefore not found to contribute to the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato je bilo ugotovljeno, da dolgoročne pogodbe niso prispevale k znatni škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Self-inflicted injury: impact of automation, size, economies of scale, consolidation, innovation, cost efficiency
3.6 Samopovzročena škoda: vpliv avtomatizacije, velikosti, ekonomije obsega, konsolidacije, inovacije in stroškovne učinkovitosti
Several interested parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was due to the high degree of automation of the production process.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je bil vzrok za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, visoka stopnja avtomatizacije proizvodnega procesa.
It was claimed that the small-scale producers had a disadvantage compared to the larger vertically integrated producers and therefore any injury suffered by these producers cannot be attributed to the dumped imports.
Zatrjeno je bilo, da so bili mali proizvajalci v slabšem položaju v primerjavi z večjimi in vertikalno integriranimi proizvajalci ter da zato škode, ki so jo utrpeli ti proizvajalci, ni mogoče pripisati dampinškemu uvozu.
In this context it was also claimed that in any event, overall, the Union industry was of a small size and therefore was not able to benefit from economies of scale.
V zvezi s tem je bilo tudi zatrjeno, da je industrija Unije v vsakem primeru na splošno majhna in zato ni mogla izkoristiti ekonomije obsega.
The investigation showed that also the small-scale producers in Union market had a high level of automation in their production process with a positive effect to their production costs.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so imeli tudi mali proizvajalci na trgu Unije visoko avtomatizirane proizvodne procese, kar je imelo pozitiven učinek na proizvodne stroške.
Most Union producers have specialised in one part of the production process (wafers, cells or modules), which, through specialisation, increased their competitiveness with regard to the specific product type they were producing.
Večina proizvajalcev Unije se je specializirala za en del proizvodnega procesa (rezine, celice ali moduli), kar je povečalo njihovo konkurenčnost v zvezi s posebno vrsto izdelka, ki so ga proizvajali.
The argument that impact of the high degree automation caused the injury suffered by the Union industry, had therefore to be rejected.
Zato je bilo treba zavrniti argument, da je bil vzrok za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, vpliv visoke stopnje avtomatizacije.
Some interested parties claimed that the price pressure resulted in the consolidation of the Union industry, the latter being the cause of the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je cenovni pritisk povzročil konsolidacijo industrije Unije, slednja pa je bila vzrok za znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
However, the investigation showed that the consolidation was rather a consequence of the dumped imports.
Preiskava pa je pokazala, da je bila konsolidacija prej posledica dampinškega uvoza.
Furthermore, this party did not support with any evidence to what extend the consolidation process could have been the cause of the injury suffered.
Ta stran niti ni predložila dokazov glede tega, v kolikšni meri bi lahko bil proces konsolidacije vzrok za povzročeno škodo.
Moreover, it was claimed that the lack of vertical integration of the Union industry is the cause of the injury suffered.
Zatrjeno je bilo tudi, da je vzrok za povzročeno škodo pomanjkanje vertikalne integracije industrije Unije.
In general the vertically integrated producers in normal market conditions should have more security over their supply chain.
Vertikalno integrirani proizvajalci bi morali v normalnih tržnih razmerah na splošno imeti več varnosti v zvezi z dobavno verigo.
However, the investigation showed that the advantage of vertical integration by part of the Union industry that was vertically integrated could not be fully exploited as the price pressure from dumped imports was extremely high.
Preiskava pa je pokazala, da del industrije Unije, ki je bil vertikalno integriran, ni mogel v celoti izkoristiti prednosti vertikalne integracije, saj je bil cenovni pritisk zaradi dampinškega uvoza izjemno visok.
Moreover, the Union industry, even the vertically integrated Union producers, due to the dumped imports could not fully benefit from high capacity utilisation rates to achieve economies of scale.
Poleg tega industrija Unije, vključno z vertikalno integriranimi proizvajalci Unije, zaradi dampinškega uvoza ni mogla v celoti izkoristiti visokih stopenj izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, da bi dosegla ekonomijo obsega.
Furthermore, the investigation did not reveal any correlation between vertical integration and better profitability rates, as the high price pressure has altered this correlation.
Preiskava tudi ni odkrila korelacije med vertikalno integracijo in boljšimi stopnjami dobičkonosnosti, saj se je ta korelacija spremenila zaradi visokega cenovnega pritiska.
Some interested parties claimed that the Union industry lacked technical innovation as well as investments in new technology.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da industriji Unije primanjkuje tehničnih inovacij in naložb v novo tehnologijo.
However, the investigation did not bring to light any factual evidence confirming these allegations.
Vendar preiskava ni razkrila nobenih dejanskih dokazov, ki bi potrdili te trditve.
To the contrary, the investigation showed that the majority of the investments made by the Union industry were dedicated to new machinery and R & D and that there are no meaningful differences in technology between the products worldwide.
Nasprotno, preiskava je pokazala, da je bila večina naložb industrije Unije namenjena novim strojem ter raziskavam in razvoju, med izdelki s celega sveta pa ni bilo pomembnih razlik v tehnologiji.
Moreover, one interested party claimed that the material injury suffered is due to the poor project execution (failed projects).
Poleg tega je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da je vzrok za povzročeno znatno škodo slaba izvedba projektov (neuspeli projekti).
In this respect, it should be noted that the argument was not substantiated.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da ta argument ni bil utemeljen.
In addition, any failed project could rather be considered as a consequence of the dumped imports.
Poleg tega bi se lahko prej štelo, da so neuspeli projekti posledica dampinškega uvoza.
The argument had therefore to be rejected.
Argument je bilo treba zato zavrniti.
Several interested parties claimed that the Union industry was not able to rationalise its costs in time to respond to the developments in the world market.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da industrija Unije ni mogla pravočasno racionalizirati svojih stroškov, da bi se odzvala na razvoj na svetovnem trgu.
Other parties claimed that labour and overhead costs are higher in the Union than in the PRC.
Druge strani so trdile, da so stroški dela in splošni stroški v Uniji višji kot v LRK.
The investigation showed that the cost of production of the Union industry was steadily decreasing during the period considered, except for wafers where costs were decreasing in 2010 but increased in 2011 and further in the IP to levels slightly higher than at the beginning of the period considered (see recital 138 above).
Preiskava je pokazala, da so se stroški proizvodnje industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju stalno zniževali, razen za rezine, za katere so se stroški leta 2010 zmanjševali, leta 2011 in še v OP pa so se povečali in dosegli nekoliko višjo raven kot na začetku obravnavanega obdobja (glej uvodno izjavo 138).
Productivity increased for modules and cells, but decreased for wafers.
Produktivnost se je za module in celice povečala, za rezine pa zmanjšala.
As mentioned above, due to the surge of dumped imports from the PRC and the consequent significant price pressure on the Union market, the Union industry was not able to benefit from the reductions in cost.
Kot je bilo omenjeno, industrija Unije zaradi povečanja dampinškega uvoza iz LRK in posledičnega znatnega cenovnega pritiska na trgu Unije ni mogla imeti koristi od zmanjšanja stroškov.
It is noted that the exporting producers in the PRC do not enjoy any comparative advantage with regard to raw materials (polysilicon) and the machinery used as both were mostly imported from the Union.
Omeniti je treba, da proizvajalci izvozniki v LRK nimajo primerjalnih prednosti v zvezi s surovinami (polisilicijem) in uporabljenimi stroji, saj so večinoma uvoženi iz Unije.
As far as labour and overhead costs are concerned, they represented on average less than 10 % of the total cost of a module in the IP and are not considered to have played any significant role.
Stroški dela in splošni stroški so v povprečju predstavljali manj kot 10 % celotnih stroškov za modul v OP in se zanje ne šteje, da so imeli pomembno vlogo.
Moreover, it was claimed that some Union producers sourced wafers, cells and/or modules from the country concerned, and resold those products on the Union market as their own.
Poleg tega je bilo zatrjeno, da so nekateri proizvajalci Unije nabavljali rezine, celice in/ali module v zadevni državi in jih nato prodali na trgu Unije kot svoje izdelke.
The investigation revealed that imports from the Union industry of the product concerned were complementary in nature as well as limited in terms of volume when compared to the Union production and would therefore not be considered as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je imel uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz industrije Unije v primerjavi s proizvodnjo Unije dopolnilni značaj in je bil njegov obseg omejen, zato zanj ne bi veljalo, da je prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Therefore, in order to match the decreasing price trend of the imports from the PRC, the Union industry had to make considerable efforts to rationalise its cost of production.
Zato si je morala industrija Unije močno prizadevati za racionalizacijo svojih stroškov proizvodnje, da bi se prilagodila trendu nižanja cen uvoza iz LRK.
Despite the efforts of the Union industry, this cost rationalisation could not be reflected in the sales price due to the significant undercutting exerted by the dumped imports.
Kljub prizadevanjem industrije Unije se ta racionalizacija stroškov ni mogla pokazati v prodajnih cenah zaradi znatnega nelojalnega nižanja cen, ki ga je povzročil dampinški uvoz.
On these grounds, all the above mentioned arguments had to be rejected.
Na tej podlagi je bilo treba vse navedene argumente zavrniti.
Competition from thin film PV products and other PV technologies
3.7 Konkurenca tankoslojnih fotonapetostnih izdelkov in drugih fotonapetostnih tehnologij
