The Commission officially advised the authorities of the PRC, Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, the exporting producers in those countries, the importers in the Union known to be concerned and the Union industry of the initiation of the investigation.
Komisija je o začetku preiskave uradno obvestila pristojne organe LRK, Malezije, Tajske in Filipinov, proizvajalce izvoznike v navedenih državah, uvoznike v Uniji, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter industrijo Unije.
Exemption forms were sent to the producers/exporters in Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines known to the Commission or through the Missions of the countries concerned to the European Union.
Obrazci zahtevka za izvzetje so bili poslani proizvajalcem/izvoznikom v Maleziji, Tajski in na Filipinih, ki so bili znani Komisiji, ali predstavništvom Evropske unije v zadevnih državah.
Questionnaires were sent to the producers/exporters in the PRC known to the Commission or through the Mission of the PRC to the European Union.
Vprašalniki so bili poslani proizvajalcem/izvoznikom v LRK, ki so bili znani Komisiji, ali predstavništvom Evropske unije v LRK.
Questionnaires were also sent to the known importers in the Union.
Vprašalniki so bili poslani tudi znanim uvoznikom v Uniji.
Seven Malaysian, six Thai and three Filipino producers/exporters and their related companies in the PRC, where applicable, have submitted replies to the exemption forms.
Izpolnjene obrazce zahtevka za izvzetje je, kadar je bilo primerno, predložilo sedem malezijskih, šest tajskih in trije filipinski proizvajalci/izvozniki ter njihove povezane družbe v LRK.
Submissions of two Malaysian, one Thai and one Filipino companies were rejected due to formal reasons as the companies in question were either found not to be producers of the product under investigation or they failed to cooperate after the submission of the exemption form or the exemption form was submitted in a very late stage of the investigation.
Predloženi obrazci dveh malezijskih, ene tajske in ene filipinske družbe so bili zavrnjeni zaradi formalnih razlogov, saj je bilo ugotovljeno, da zadevne družbe niso bile proizvajalci izdelka v preiskavi ali po predložitvi obrazcev za izvzetje niso sodelovale, ali pa je bil ta predložen v zelo pozni fazi preiskave.
The questionnaire replies were submitted by two Chinese exporters and four Union importers/groups of importers.
Izpolnjene vprašalnike so predložili dva kitajska izvoznika in štirje izvozniki oziroma skupine izvoznikov iz Unije.
The Commission carried out the verification visits at the premises of the following companies:

Reporting period and investigation period
Obdobje poročanja in obdobje preiskave
In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the assessment of the existence of circumvention was made by analysing successively whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC, the three countries concerned and the Union; if this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty; if there was evidence of injury or that the remedial effects of the duty were being undermined in terms of the prices and/or quantities of the product under investigation; and whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal values previously established in the original investigation, if necessary in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the basic Regulation.
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe se je obstoj izogibanja ukrepom ocenjeval z zaporedno analizo, v kateri se je ugotavljalo, ali je prišlo v vzorcu trgovanja med LRK, tremi zadevnimi državami in Unijo do spremembe, ali je ta sprememba nastala zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali ki ni gospodarsko upravičena, ali so obstajali dokazi o škodi ali o tem, da je bil popravljalni učinek dajatve oslabljen v smislu cene in/ali količine izdelka v preiskavi, in ali so obstajali dokazi o dampingu v zvezi z normalnimi vrednostmi, predhodno določenimi v prvotni preiskavi, po potrebi v skladu z določbami člena 2 osnovne uredbe.
Product concerned and product under investigation
Zadevni izdelek in izdelek v preiskavi
The product concerned by the possible circumvention is certain stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof, originating in the PRC, currently falling within CN codes 73181210, 73181410, 73181530, 73181551, 73181561 and 73181570 (‘the product concerned’).
Izdelek, ki je predmet morebitnega izogibanja, zajema nekatere pritrdilne elemente iz nerjavnega jekla in njihove dele s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, ki se trenutno uvrščajo pod oznake KN 73181210, 73181410, 73181530, 73181551, 73181561 in 73181570 („zadevni izdelek“).
The product under investigation is the same as the product concerned, but consigned from Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines, whether declared as originating in Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines or not, currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned (‘the product under investigation’).
Izdelek v preiskavi je enak kot zadevni izdelek, le da je poslan iz Malezije, Tajske in s Filipinov, ne glede na to, ali je deklariran kot izdelek s poreklom iz Malezije, Tajske in s Filipinov ali ne, ki se trenutno uvršča pod iste oznake KN kot zadevni izdelek („izdelek v preiskavi“).
The investigation showed that stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof, as defined above, exported from the PRC to the Union and those consigned from Malaysia, Thailand and the Philippines to the Union have the same basic physical and technical characteristics and have the same uses, and are therefore to be considered as like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava je pokazala, da imajo pritrdilni elementi iz nerjavnega jekla in njihovi deli, kakor so opredeljeni zgoraj, izvoženi v Unijo iz LRK, in tisti, poslani v Unijo iz Malezije, Tajske in s Filipinov, enake osnovne fizične in tehnične lastnosti ter enake uporabe, zato se jih šteje za podobne izdelke v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
Findings with regard to the Philippines
Ugotovitve v zvezi s Filipini
As stated in recital 10 above, only three Filipino companies (one of them later found not to be a producer or exporter of the product under investigation) submitted an exemption form reply.
Kakor je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 10, so samo tri filipinska podjetja predložila izpolnjene obrazce zahtevka za izvzetje (pozneje je bilo ugotovljeno, da eno podjetje ni bilo proizvajalec ali izvoznik izdelka v preiskavi).
Thus, the cooperating companies were representing 10 % of the Filipino exports of the product under investigation to the Union in the RP.
Zato so sodelujoče družbe predstavljale 10 % filipinskega izvoza izdelka v preiskavi v Unijo v obdobju poročanja.
A questionnaire reply was also submitted by two Chinese producers/exporters; however, none of them was involved in export to the Philippines in the IP.
Izpolnjeni vprašalnik sta predložila tudi dva kitajska proizvajalca/izvoznika, vendar nobeden od njiju v OP ni izvažal na Filipine.
Taking into account the relatively low level of cooperation of the Filipino and Chinese companies the findings in respect of imports of certain stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof from the Philippines into the Union and exports of the product concerned from the PRC to the Philippines had to be made on the basis of facts available in accordance with Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation.
Ob upoštevanju sorazmerno nizke stopnje sodelovanja med filipinskimi in kitajskimi družbami so morale ugotovitve v zvezi z uvozom nekaterih pritrdilnih elementov iz nerjavnega jekla in njihovih delov s Filipinov v Unijo ter izvozom zadevnega izdelka iz LRK na Filipine temeljiti na razpoložljivih dejstvih v skladu s členom 18(1) osnovne uredbe.
In this case Eurostat data was used to determine overall import volumes from the Philippines to the Union and Chinese export statistics were used for the determination of the overall exports from the PRC to the Philippines.
V tem primeru so bili za določitev skupnega obsega uvoza s Filipinov v Unijo uporabljeni podatki Eurostata, za določitev skupnega izvoza iz LRK na Filipine pa so bili uporabljeni kitajski statistični izvozni podatki.
With regard to the Chinese export statistics it should be noted that statistics of trade flows between the PRC and the Philippines cover whole HS codes that is a larger product group then the product concerned and the product under investigation.
V zvezi s kitajskimi statističnimi izvoznimi podatki bi bilo treba opozoriti, da statistični podatki trgovinskih tokov med LRK in Filipini zajemajo celotne oznake HS, tj. širšo skupino izdelkov, kot sta zadevni izdelek in izdelek v preiskavi.
However, taking into account the very clear trend that existed, these data can be used to establish a change in pattern of trade.
Vendar se lahko ti podatki ob upoštevanju takratnega izrazitega trenda uporabijo za ugotovitev spremembe vzorca trgovanja.
Finally, as an additional source of information the data provided by the Filipino authorities were used.
Nazadnje so bili kot dodaten vir informacij uporabljeni tudi podatki, ki so jih predložili filipinski organi.
Although these data were not complete and detailed enough to be a sole basis for the analysis they were suitable to cross-check findings with regard to the pattern of trade.
Čeprav niso bili popolni in dovolj natančni, da bi bili edina podlaga za analize, so bili primerni za preverjanje ugotovitev v zvezi z vzorcem trgovanja.
After the imposition of the original measures on the imports from the PRC, imports into the Union of the product under investigation from the Philippines increased suddenly and markedly.
Po uvedbi prvotnih ukrepov na uvoz iz LRK se je uvoz izdelka v preiskavi s Filipinov v Unijo nenadoma in občutno povečal.
From the minimal level of below 100 MT yearly in 2004-05 it rose to more than 12000 MT in the RP.
Z najnižje stopnje, ki je v letih 2004–2005 znašala manj kot 100 ton letno, je v obdobju poročanja narasel na več kot 12000 ton.
At the same time exports from the PRC to the Philippines were increasing sharply in the years 2004-RP from 1100 MT to more than 15000 MT.
Hkrati je od leta 2004 do obdobja poročanja izvoz iz Kitajske na Filipine strmo naraščal, in sicer s 1100 ton na več kot 15000 ton.
Chinese export statistics (Global Trade Atlas Database)
Kitajski izvozni statistični podatki (podatkovna zbirka Global Trade Atlas).
Furthermore, it is noted that the data received from the Filipino authorities confirm that only a small percentage of imports from the PRC was released for trade in the Filipino custom territory.
Nadalje je treba opozoriti, da podatki, ki so jih predložili filipinski organi, potrjujejo, da je bil le majhen odstotek uvoza iz LRK dan na trg na filipinskem carinskem območju.
Most of the import was directed to the special economic zones.
Večina uvoza je bila usmerjena na posebne ekonomske cone.
Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation requires that the change in the pattern of trade stems from a practice, process or work for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty.
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe morajo spremembo vzorca trgovanja povzročiti praksa, postopek ali dejavnost, za katero razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali ki ni gospodarsko upravičena.
It is noted that Filipino exports of the cooperating companies amounted to some 10 % of the total Filipino exports to the Union in the RP. The remaining exports can be attributed to the producers that have not cooperated with the investigation or by pure transhipment practises.
Opozoriti je treba, da je izvoz filipinskih sodelujočih družb v obdobju poročanja znašal približno 10 % celotnega filipinskega izvoza v Unijo.
The latter conclusion is supported by the information and data provided by the Filipino authorities, in particular the facts that:
Preostali izvoz je mogoče pripisati proizvajalcem, ki niso sodelovali v preiskavi, ali pretovarjanju.
most of the imports from the PRC of the product concerned was directed to special economic zones and did not enter the Filipino custom territories; (ii) the number of genuine producers of the product under investigation in the Philippines is very limited.
Slednja ugotovitev je podprta z informacijami in podatki, ki so jih predložili filipinski organi, zlasti dejstvo, da (i) je bila večina izvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK namenjena na posebne ekonomske cone in ta izvoz ni vstopil na filipinsko carinsko območje ter da (ii) je število dejanskih proizvajalcev izdelka v preiskavi na Filipinih zelo omejeno.
The existence of transhipment of Chinese-origin products via the Philippines was therefore confirmed.
Zato se obstoj pretovarjanja izdelkov kitajskega porekla prek Filipinov potrdi.
Insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the anti-dumping duty
Nezadosten drugi vzrok ali gospodarska utemeljitev razen uvedbe protidampinške dajatve
The investigation did not bring to light any other due cause or economic justification for the transhipment than the avoidance of the measures in force on the product concerned.
S preiskavo ni bil ugotovljen noben drug ustrezen vzrok ali gospodarska utemeljitev za pretovarjanje razen izogibanje veljavnim ukrepom, ki veljajo za zadevni izdelek.
No elements were found, other than the duty, which could be considered as a compensation for the costs of transhipment, in particular regarding transport and reloading, of certain stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof originating in the PRC via the Philippines.
Razen dajatve ni bilo nikakršnih elementov, ki bi se lahko šteli kot nadomestilo za stroške pretovarjanja, zlasti glede prevoza in natovarjanja nekaterih pritrdilnih elementov iz nerjavnega jekla in njihovih delov s poreklom iz LRK prek Filipinov.
To assess whether the imported product under investigation had, in terms of quantities and prices, undermined the remedial effects of the measures in force on imports of the product concerned, Eurostat data was used as the best data available concerning quantities and prices of exports by the non-cooperating companies in the Philippines.
Za oceno, ali je uvoženi izdelek v preiskavi slabil popravljalne učinke veljavnih ukrepov za uvoz zadevnega izdelka v smislu količine in cene, so se kot najboljši razpoložljivi podatki o količinah in cenah izvoza nesodelujočih družb s Filipinov uporabili podatki Eurostata.
The prices so determined were compared to the injury elimination level established for Union producers in the original investigation.
Tako določene cene so se primerjale s stopnjo odprave škode, ki je bila določena za proizvajalce Unije v prvotni preiskavi.
Given the substantial time difference between the original IP and the RP in the present investigation, the significant developments in the basic elements of costs of production had to be taken into account.
Glede na veliko razliko v časovnem razponu med prvotnim OP in obdobjem poročanja v sedanji preiskavi je bilo treba upoštevati znaten razvoj osnovnih elementov proizvodnih stroškov.
This was reflected in the adjustment of the non-injurious price on the basis of the increase in the price of the basic raw materials and, for the remaining elements of costs of manufacturing and sales, on the basis of the variation in the consumer price index in the Union.
To je bilo razvidno iz prilagoditve neškodljive cene na podlagi povečanja cene osnovnih surovin, za preostale elemente proizvodnih stroškov in prodaje pa na podlagi nihanja indeksa cen življenjskih potrebščin v Uniji.
The increase of imports from the Philippines into the Union from below 100 MT in 2004 to over 12000 MT in the RP was considered to be significant in terms of quantities.
Povečanje uvoza s Filipinov v Unijo z manj kot 100 ton leta 2004 na več kot 12000 ton v obdobju poročanja se je v smislu količine štelo za znatno.
The comparison of the adjusted injury elimination level and the weighted average export price showed underselling.
Primerjava prilagojene stopnje odprave škode in tehtane povprečne izvozne cene je pokazala nelojalno nižanje ciljnih cen.
Finally, in accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation it was examined whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal value established in the original investigation.
Na koncu je bilo v skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe preučeno, ali obstajajo dokazi o dampingu v zvezi z normalno vrednostjo, določeno v prvotni preiskavi.
In the original Regulation the normal value was established on the basis of prices in Taiwan, which in that investigation was found to be an appropriate market economy analogue country for the PRC.
V prvotni uredbi je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi cen v Tajvanu, za katerega je bilo v navedeni preiskavi ugotovljeno, da je ustrezna primerljiva država s tržnim gospodarstvom za LRK.
However, given the substantial time difference between the original IP and the RP in the present investigation, the significant developments in the basic elements of costs of production had to be taken into account.
Vendar je bilo treba glede na veliko razliko v časovnem razponu med prvotnim OP in obdobjem poročanja v sedanji preiskavi upoštevati znaten razvoj osnovnih elementov proizvodnih stroškov.
This was reflected in the adjustment of the normal value on the basis of the increase in the price of the basic raw materials and, for the remaining elements of costs of manufacturing and sales, on the basis of the variation in the consumer price index in Taiwan.
To je bilo razvidno iz prilagoditve normalne vrednosti na podlagi povečanja cene osnovnih surovin, za preostale elemente proizvodnih stroškov in prodaje pa na podlagi nihanja indeksa cen življenjskih potrebščin v Tajvanu.
The export price from the Philippines was based on facts available, i.e. on the average export price of certain stainless steel fasteners and parts thereof during the RP as reported by Eurostat.
Po podatkih Eurostata so izvozne cene s Filipinov temeljile na razpoložljivih dejstvih, tj. na povprečni izvozni ceni nekaterih pritrdilnih elementov iz nerjavnega jekla in njihovih delih v obdobju poročanja.
The use of facts available was due to the minimal level of cooperation by producers of the product under investigation in the Philippines.
Uporaba razpoložljivih dejstev je bila posledica pomanjkanja sodelovanja proizvajalcev izdelka v preiskavi na Filipinih.
The average export price used for the calculation was cross-checked with the level of export prices of the two cooperating Filipino exporters and it appeared to be compatible with them.
Povprečna izvozna cena, ki se je uporabila za izračun, je bila navzkrižno preverjena s stopnjo izvoznih cen dveh sodelujočih filipinskih izvoznikov in ugotovljeno je bilo, da sta združljivi.
For the purpose of a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, due allowance, in the form of adjustments, was made for differences which affect prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Za pošteno primerjavo med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno je bila vrednost ustrezno popravljena s prilagoditvami za razlike, ki so vplivale na cene in primerljivost cen, v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe.
Accordingly, adjustments were made for differences in transport, insurance and for non-refundable VAT on export sales in the PRC.
Zato so bile izvedene prilagoditve za razlike v prevozu, zavarovanju in nevračljivem DDV za izvoz v LRK.
Given that there was limited cooperation from the producers in the Philippines and the PRC, the adjustments had to be established on the basis of the best facts available.
Zaradi omejenega sodelovanja proizvajalcev s Filipinov in iz LRK je bilo prilagoditve treba določiti na podlagi najboljših razpoložljivih dejstev.
Thus, the adjustments for transport and insurance were based on per tonne transport and insurance cost established in the original investigation.
Zato so prilagoditve za prevoz in zavarovanje temeljile na prevozu (v tonah) in stroških zavarovanja, določenih v prvotni preiskavi.
In accordance with Article 2(11) and (12) of the basic Regulation, dumping was calculated by comparing adjusted weighted average normal value as established in the original Regulation and the corresponding weighted average export prices of the Filipino import during this investigation’s RP, expressed as a percentage of the CIF price at the Union frontier duty unpaid.
V skladu s členom 2(11) in (12) osnovne uredbe je bil damping izračunan na podlagi primerjave tehtane povprečne normalne vrednosti, kot je bila določena v prvotni uredbi, in ustreznih tehtanih povprečnih izvoznih cen za Filipine v obdobju poročanja te preiskave ter izražen kot delež cene CIF meja Unije brez plačane dajatve.
Findings with regard to Malaysia
Ugotovitve v zvezi z Malezijo
As stated in recital 10 above, seven Malaysian companies submitted exemption form replies.
Kot je bilo navedeno v uvodni izjavi 10, je sedem malezijskih družb predložilo izpolnjene obrazce zahtevka za izvzetje.
One of these companies appeared not to be the producer of the product under investigation, while the other submitted its incomplete reply in the late stage of the investigation which made it impossible to supplement deficiencies and verify the submitted information and data.
Izkazalo se je, da ena družba ni bila proizvajalec izdelka v preiskavi, druga pa je predložila nepopolno izpolnjen obrazec v pozni fazi preiskave, zaradi česar ni bilo mogoče dopolniti manjkajočih elementov ter preveriti predloženih informacij in podatkov.
Therefore, these two exemption form replies had to be disregarded.
Zato teh dveh izpolnjenih obrazcev za izvzetje ni bilo mogoče upoštevati.
Nevertheless, the remaining five cooperating Malaysian companies represented 93 % of the Malaysian exports of the product under investigation to the Union in the RP.
Kljub temu je preostalih pet sodelujočih malezijskih družb predstavljalo 93 % malezijskega izvoza izdelka v preiskavi v Unijo v obdobju poročanja.
Change in pattern of trade
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja
After the imposition of the original measures on the imports from the PRC, imports into the Union of the product under investigation from Malaysia was increasing steadily.
Po uvedbi prvotnih ukrepov na uvoz iz LRK se je uvoz izdelka v preiskavi iz Malezije v Unijo postopoma povečeval.
From the level of below 2000 MT yearly in 2004-05 it rose to more than 13000 MT in the RP.
Stopnja, ki je v letih 2004–2005 znašala manj kot 2000 ton letno, je v obdobju poročanja narasla na več kot 13000 ton.
