natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The comparison showed that during the IP, imports of the product concerned from the exporting producer were sold in the Union at prices which undercut the Union industry’s prices.
Primerjava je pokazala, da se je v OP uvoženi zadevni izdelek proizvajalca izvoznika v Uniji prodajal po cenah, ki so nelojalno znižale prodajne cene industrije Unije.
The average level of undercutting, when expressed as a percentage of the Union industry’s prices, was in the range of 30-40 %, based on the verified data submitted by the cooperating exporting producer.
Po preverjenih podatkih, ki jih je predložil sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik, je bila povprečna stopnja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen, izražena v odstotkih cen industrije Unije, v razponu 30–40 %.
This level of undercutting was combined with a negative price development and a substantial price depression on the Union market.
To stopnjo nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen je spremljal negativen razvoj cen in znatno znižanje cen na trgu Unije.
ECONOMIC SITUATION OF THE UNION INDUSTRY
GOSPODARSKE RAZMERE INDUSTRIJE UNIJE
Pursuant to Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the examination of the impact of dumped imports on the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic factors and indices relating to the state of the Union industry from 2008 to the end of the IP.
V skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe je preiskava učinka dampinškega uvoza na industrijo Unije vsebovala oceno vseh gospodarskih dejavnikov in pokazateljev, ki so povezani s položajem industrije Unije od leta 2008 do konca OP.
Several interested parties claimed that the year 2008 was inappropriate as a reference point since it was an exceptionally successful year for the Union industry.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je bilo leto 2008 neustrezno kot referenčna točka, saj je bilo to izredno uspešno leto za industrijo Unije.
Following the information document, some interested parties claimed that 2007 should have been used as the starting point for the examination of injury trends relevant for the assessment of injury.
Po razkritju opisnega lista so nekatere zainteresirane strani trdile, da bi leto 2007 moralo biti uporabljeno kot izhodišče za preiskavo gibanj škode, pomembnih za oceno škode.
It should be noted that 2008 was a profitable year for the entire phosphate sector and not only for the Union industry.
Poudariti bi bilo treba, da je bilo leto 2008 dobičkonosno za celoten sektor fosfata in ne le za industrijo Unije.
Additionally, the year 2009 was also exceptional due to the economic crisis and in 2007 the exporting producer in Kazakhstan and the Union industry were related, i.e. these years would not have been necessarily more appropriate as a starting point for the injury analysis.
Poleg tega je bilo leto 2009 izjemno tudi zaradi gospodarske krize, leta 2007 pa sta bila proizvajalec izvoznik v Kazahstanu in industrija Unije povezana, kar pomeni, da ti leti ne bi bili nujno primernejši kot izhodišče za analizo škode.
In any event, exceptional circumstances during the period considered are factored in the relevant parts of the causation analysis, if appropriate.
V vsakem primeru so se izjemne okoliščine v obravnavanem obdobju po potrebi upoštevale v zadevnih delih analize vzročne zveze.
The table below shows the evolution of production, production capacity and capacity utilisation of the Union industry in the total market:
Tabela v nadaljevanju prikazuje razvoj proizvodnje, proizvodne zmogljivosti in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti industrije Unije na celotnem trgu:
verified questionnaire reply.
Preverjen izpolnjen vprašalnik.
As shown in the table above, during the period considered, the Union production decreased by 25 %.
Kot je prikazano v zgornji tabeli, se je v obravnavanem obdobju proizvodnja v Uniji zmanjšala za 25 %.
While between 2008 and 2009, production decreased by 45 %, the situation improved after 2009 until the IP; however, production did not reach in the IP the levels of 2008.
Med letoma 2008 in 2009 se je proizvodnja zmanjšala za 45 %, po letu 2009 in do OP pa so se razmere izboljšale; vendar proizvodnja v OP ni dosegla ravni iz leta 2008.
Given that the production capacity remained stable, the decrease in production led to significant decrease in capacity utilisation by 25 % between 2008 and the IP.
Glede na to, da je proizvodna zmogljivost ostala stabilna, je zmanjšanje proizvodnje povzročilo znatno zmanjšanje izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, in sicer za 25 % med letom 2008 in OP.
The figures below present the sales volume and market share of the Union industry split between the total, captive and free market.
Podatki v nadaljevanju predstavljajo obseg prodaje in tržni delež industrije Unije, razdeljene med celoten, omejeni in prosti trg.
Sales volume total market
Obseg prodaje na celotnem trgu
Market share of Union industry total market (%)
Tržni delež industrije Unije na celotnem trgu (%)
Sales volume captive market
Obseg prodaje na omejenem trgu
Market share of Union industry captive market (%)
Tržni delež industrije Unije na omejenem trgu (%)
Sales volume free market
Obseg prodaje na prostem trgu
Market share of Union industry free market (%)
Tržni delež industrije Unije na prostem trgu (%)
Sales in the total market decreased by 17 % in the period considered.
Prodaja na celotnem trgu se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 17 %.
This drop was even steeper in the free market where it fell by 64 % between 2008 and the IP.
Ta upad je bil še večji na prostem trgu, kjer se je obseg prodaje med letom 2008 in OP zmanjšal za 64 %.
The captive market followed the opposite trend and sales volume increased by 17 % in the same period.
Omejeni trg je sledil nasprotnemu gibanju, saj se je v istem obdobju obseg prodaje povečal za 17 %.
The drop in sales volume was reflected in market share that saw a 20 % decrease for the total market and 63 % decrease in the free market between 2008 and the IP.
Upad v obsegu prodaje se je odražal v tržnem deležu, pri katerem je bilo mogoče med letom 2008 in OP opaziti 20-odstotno zmanjšanje za celoten trg in 63-odstotno zmanjšanje na prostem trgu.
As the captive market is comprised of white phosphorus from the sole Union producer, the market share remained unchanged and in these circumstances is not a relevant indicator.
Ker je omejeni trg sestavljen iz belega fosforja od edinega proizvajalca v Uniji, je tržni delež ostal nespremenjen, zato v teh okoliščinah ni pomemben kazalec.
During the period considered it emerged that Union consumption decreased only slightly in the free market by 2 % while sales and market share of the Union industry decreased significantly, respectively by 64 % and by 63 % during the same period.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da se je v obravnavanem obdobju potrošnja Unije na prostem trgu le nekoliko zmanjšala (za 2 %), medtem ko sta se obseg prodaje in tržni delež industrije Unije zmanjšala bolj občutno, in sicer za 64 % oziroma 63 % v istem obdobju.
At the same time, imports from the Republic of Kazakhstan increased by 32 % over the period considered.
Obenem se je v obravnavanem obdobju uvoz iz Republike Kazahstan povečal za 32 %.
As a consequence, the market share of the Union industry decreased significantly over the same period.
Posledično se je v istem obdobju občutno zmanjšal tržni delež industrije Unije.
The table below shows the evolution of employment, productivity and wages of the Union industry in the total market:
Tabela v nadaljevanju prikazuje razvoj zaposlovanja, produktivnosti in plač v industriji Unije na celotnem trgu.
Total Productivity (MT/employee)
Celotna produktivnost (tona/zaposlenega)
Yearly wages
Letne plače
Employment slightly decreased between 2008 and the IP, while wages slightly increased.
Med letom 2008 in OP se je zaposlovanje rahlo zmanjšalo, plače pa so se rahlo povišale.
During the period considered the total productivity per employee decreased by 19 %.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je celotna produktivnost na zaposlenega zmanjšala za 19 %.
This followed the decrease in production, as explained in recitals 74 and 75 above.
To je sledilo zmanjšanju proizvodnje, kot je obrazloženo v uvodnih izjavah 74 in 75.
The dumping margins as specified above in recital 48 were above the de minimis level.
Stopnje dampinga, navedene v uvodni izjavi 48 so bile nad stopnjo de minimis.
Furthermore, given the volumes and the prices of the dumped imports, the impact of the actual margins of dumping cannot be considered as negligible.
Poleg tega učinek dejanskih stopenj dampinga glede na obseg in cene dampinškega uvoza nikakor ne more veljati za zanemarljivega.
The figures below represent the evolution of the stocks of the Union industry in the total market during the period considered:
Podatki v nadaljevanju predstavljajo razvoj zalog industrije Unije na celotnem trgu v obravnavanem obdobju:
Stocks represented around 12 % of the production volume in the IP.
Zaloge so predstavljale približno 12 % obsega proizvodnje v OP.
Stocks decreased by 52 % over the period considered.
V obravnavanem obdobju so se zaloge zmanjšale za 52 %.
However, this indicator is not to be considered as relevant in this sector, as it is based mainly on orders and, accordingly, producers tend to hold limited stocks.
Vendar se ta kazalec ne sme šteti za pomembnega v tem sektorju, saj temelji predvsem na naročilih, zato imajo proizvajalci navadno omejene zaloge.
The decrease in stocks in the IP should be seen in light of the lower level of activity following the downsizing of the Union industry.
Zmanjšanje zalog v OP bi bilo treba presojati ob upoštevanju nižje ravni dejavnosti zaradi krčenja industrije Unije.
The following table represents the Union industry’s price evolution split between the captive and the free market.
Tabela v nadaljevanju prikazuje razvoj cen industrije Unije, razdeljene med omejeni in prosti trg.
Sales prices fell in both markets, even if the decrease was sharper in the captive market (– 22 %) than in the free market (– 17 %).
Prodajne cene so se znižale na obeh trgih, čeprav je bilo znižanje večje na omejenem trgu (–22 %) kot na prostem trgu (–17 %).
Profitability, cash flow, ability to raise capital, investments and return on investment
Dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, zmožnost zbiranja kapitala, naložbe in donosnost naložb
Profitability on free market
Dobičkonosnost na prostem trgu
Cash flow on free market
Denarni tok na prostem trgu
Profitability for the like product on the free market was established by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product by the Union industry on the Union free market, as the percentage of the turnover of such sales.
Dobičkonosnost podobnega izdelka na prostem trgu je bila določena tako, da je bil neto dobiček od prodaje podobnega izdelka industrije Unije na prostem trgu Unije pred obdavčitvijo izražen kot odstotek prihodkov od take prodaje.
The profitability on the free market decreased sharply and turned to losses over the period considered.
Dobičkonosnost na prostem trgu se je v obravnavanem obdobju bistveno zmanjšala in postala negativna.
Profitability was showing a decreasing trend between 2008 and the IP.
Med letom 2008 in OP se je dobičkonosnost postopoma zmanjševala.
Although slighlty increasing during the IP compared to 2010, profitability remained negative.
Čeprav se je dobičkonosnost v OP v primerjavi z letom 2010 malce povečala, je ostala negativna.
Cash flow also followed a progressively negative trend between 2008 and the IP, decreasing by 48 % during the period considered.
Denarni tok se je med letom 2008 in OP tudi postopoma zmanjševal, pri čemer se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 48 %.
The ability to raise capital was analysed in relation to the total market and it has been found that there is a constant deterioration of the ability of the Union industry to generate cash and consequently, a weakening of the financial situation of the Union industry.
Analiza zmožnosti zbiranja kapitala je bila izvedena v povezavi s celotnim trgom, pokazala pa je stalno poslabševanje sposobnosti industrije Unije, da ustvarja denarna sredstva, in posledično slabitev finančnega položaja industrije Unije.
Following the disclosure of the information document, one interested party claimed that profitability, cash flow should be examined at the level of the total market and not only at the level of the free market, as an assessment of the injury at the level of the free market only would not be complete, given the Union industry’s specific situation where most of its sales are destined for captive use.
Po razkritju opisnega lista je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da bi bilo treba dobičkonosnost in denarni tok preučiti na ravni celotnega trga in ne le na ravni prostega trga, saj ocena škode samo na ravni prostega trga ne bi bila popolna zaradi posebnega položaja industrije Unije, ki večino prodaje nameni lastni uporabi.
As mentioned above in recitals 55 and 58, it should be noted that as the prices in the captive market are merely transfer prices, an analysis at the level of the captive market would not have been meaningful for the purpose of the injury analysis, as it would not reflect prices of the free market where the competition with the imports from Kazakhstan took place.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 55 in 58, je treba opozoriti, da glede na to, da so cene na omejenem trgu zgolj transferne cene, analiza na ravni omejenega trga ne bi bila smiselna za namene analize škode, ker ne bi odražala cen na prostem trgu, kjer je nastala konkurenca z uvozom iz Kazahstana.
Moreover, the effect of the Union industry’s activities in the captive market has been factored in the relevant parts of the causality analysis, and more specifically in recitals from 135 to 136 below.
Poleg tega je bil učinek dejavnosti industrije Unije na omejenem trgu vključen v ustrezne dele analize vzročnosti, zlasti v uvodnih izjavah 135 in 136.
The figures below represent the evolution of investments of the Union industry in relation to the total market during the period considered:
Podatki v nadaljevanju predstavljajo razvoj naložb industrije Unije na celotnem trgu v obravnavanem obdobju:
Investments and return on investment
Naložbe in donosnost naložb
Return on investment on total market
Donosnost naložb na celotnem trgu
The table above demonstrates that the Union industry decreased its investments by 31 % in the like product.
Zgornja tabela prikazuje, da so se naložbe industrije Unije v podobni izdelek zmanjšale za 31 %.
This was linked to the downsizing of the industry.
To je bilo povezano s krčenjem industrije.
The investments made were mainly linked to the need to comply with regulatory requirements as well as improving and maintaining production technology and process in order to improve efficiency.
Izvedene naložbe so bile povezane predvsem s potrebo po izpolnjevanju regulativnih zahtev ter izboljševanju in vzdrževanju proizvodnih tehnologij in postopkov za izboljšanje učinkovitosti.
The return on investments of white phosphorus also followed a negative trend between 2008 and the IP.
Tudi donosnost naložb v beli fosfor je med letom 2008 in OP doživela negativno gibanje.
The analysis of the situation of the Union industry showed a clear downward trend of all the main injury indicators.
Analiza položaja industrije Unije je pokazala očitno negativno gibanje vseh glavnih kazalcev škode.
Against a relatively stable consumption on the free market, overall production fell by 25 % in the period considered.
Skupna proizvodnja se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 25 % kljub sorazmerno stabilni potrošnji.
During the same period, the Union industry lost 20 % of the overall market share and 63 % of the free market.
V istem obdobju je industrija Unije izgubila 20 % skupnega tržnega deleža in 63 % tržnega deleža na prostem trgu.
Capacity utilisation decreased by 25 %.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti se je zmanjšala za 25 %.
Over the period considered, the overall Union industry’s sales volume decreased by 17 %.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je celoten obseg prodaje industrije Unije zmanjšal za 17 %.
A stronger downward trend in sales volumes could be observed in the free market which saw a 64 % decrease over the period considered.
Opaziti je bilo mogoče močnejše negativno gibanje obsega prodaje na prostem trgu, ki se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 64 %.
The decrease in sales volumes of Union industry was accompanied by a decrease in sales price by 17 %.
Zmanjšanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije je spremljalo 17-odstotno znižanje prodajnih cen.
The situation was similar in the captive market where prices decreased by 22 % during the period considered.
Podobno stanje je bilo opaziti na omejenem trgu, kjer so se v obravnavanem obdobju cene znižale za 22 %.
The loss of sales volume along with the decrease in prices had an effect on profit levels and led to losses.
Izguba obsega prodaje skupaj z znižanjem cen je vplivala na ravni dobička in povzročila izgube.
These allegations were not confirmed by the results of the present investigation which has shown clear downward trends maybe not in all but in the main injury indicators even after 2009.
Rezultati te preiskave teh trditev niso potrdili, saj so razkrili očitna negativna gibanja za morda ne vse, vendar za glavne kazalce škode celo po letu 2009.
Some parties claimed that there was a decreasing trend both in volume and market share of imports from the country concerned during the period considered and that the capacity of the Kazakh phosphorus industry was overestimated.
Nekatere strani so trdile, da se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal tako obseg kot tržni delež uvoza iz zadevne države in da je bila zmogljivost kazahstanske industrije fosforja precenjena.
Likewise, these allegations were not confirmed by the findings of the present investigation which showed a constant increase in volume and market share of imports from Kazakhstan.
Tudi teh trditev preiskava ni potrdila, saj je pokazala stalno povečevanje obsega in tržnega deleža uvoza iz Kazahstana.
Likewise, production capacity of the exporting producer in Kazakhstan was determined on the basis of the verified data submitted by this company.
Prav tako je bila proizvodna zmogljivost proizvajalca izvoznika v Kazahstanu določena na podlagi preverjenih podatkov, ki jih je predložila ta družba.
In view of the above, the investigation confirmed 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 white phosphorus.
Glede na navedeno je preiskava potrdila, da bi izgube industrije Unije, če bi dampinški uvoz še naprej vstopal na trg Unije, verjetno povzročile dokončno ukinitev vsakršne obsežne proizvodnje belega fosforja v Uniji.
This seems to be confirmed by the developments after the IP, i.e the Union industry has filed for bankruptcy and is under liquidation process.
Zdi se, da to potrjuje razvoj dogodkov po OP, tj. industrija Unije je napovedala stečaj in je v likvidacijskem postopku.
Due to the circumstances presented above, it was concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Glede na zgoraj navedene okoliščine je bilo ugotovljeno, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation it was examined whether the material injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from the country concerned.
V skladu s členom 3(6) in (7) osnovne uredbe je bilo preiskano, ali je znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povzročil dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države.
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.
Poleg tega so bili preučeni tudi drugi znani dejavniki, razen dampinškega uvoza, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, da bi se zagotovilo, da se morebitna škoda, ki bi jo ti dejavniki povzročili, ne bi pripisala dampinškemu uvozu.
EFFECT OF DUMPED IMPORTS
UČINEK DAMPINŠKEGA UVOZA
The investigation showed that dumped imports from Kazakhstan increased dramatically over the period considered, increasing their market share in the free market by 36 %.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je v obravnavanem obdobju dampinški uvoz iz Kazahstana izjemno povečal, zaradi česar se je tržni delež tega uvoza na prostem trgu povečal za 36 %.
There was a clear coincidence in time between the increase of dumped imports and the loss of market share of the Union industry.
Povečanje dampinškega uvoza je jasno sovpadalo z izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Unije.
The investigation also established that the dumped imports continuously undercut the prices of the Union industry.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno tudi, da je dampinški uvoz stalno nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije.
The prices of the dumped imports decreased by 19 % during the period considered and led to an increase of undercutting.
Cene dampinškega uvoza so se v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za 19 %, kar je povečalo nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen.
Against this price pressure, the Union industry was not able to increase its prices.
Zaradi tega cenovnega pritiska industrija Unije ni mogla povišati cen.
As a consequence, they were not able to cover the increase in costs as shown in below table.
Industrija Unije zato ni bila kos povišanju stroškov, kot prikazuje spodnja tabela.
Moreover, the profitability of the Union industry’s sales in the Union market decreased dramatically.
Poleg tega se je dobičkonosnost prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije izjemno zmanjšala.
Cost of production (Union industry)
Proizvodni stroški (industrija Unije)
Cost of production (euro/MT)
Proizvodni stroški (EUR/tono)
Several interested parties claimed that imports from Kazakhstan merely followed the development in the consumption and did thus not influence the market situation of white phosphorus.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je uvoz iz Kazahstana le sledil razvoju potrošnje in zato ni vplival na razmere na trgu belega fosforja.
However, neither the import figures nor the consumption figures determined during the investigation confirmed these claims, which on the contrary showed that, while consumption in the free market slightly decreased during the period considered, imports from Kazakhstan increased, i.e. followed an opposite trend during the same period.
Vendar niti podatki o uvozu niti podatki o potrošnji, določeni med preiskavo, niso potrdili teh trditev, ampak nasprotno pokazali, da se je v obravnavanem obdobju potrošnja na prostem trgu rahlo zmanjšala, uvoz iz Kazahstana pa povečal, tj. v istem obdobju je sledil nasprotnemu gibanju.
This increase in imports from Kazakhstan coincided with the deterioration of the Union industry.
To povečanje uvoza iz Kazahstana je sovpadlo s poslabšanjem industrije Unije.
Based on the above, it is concluded that the increase of the dumped imports from Kazakhstan at prices constantly undercutting those of the Union industry have had a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Glede na navedeno je bilo ugotovljeno, da je povečanje dampinškega uvoza iz Kazahstana po cenah, ki so stalno nelojalno nižale prodajne cene industrije Unije, odločilno prispevalo k povzročitvi znatne škode za industrijo Unije.
