The complaint states that the "Five Points, One Line Coastal Belt" programme was introduced on 21 January 2006 by the Liaoning Provincial Government.
Navedba iz pritožbe je bila, da je program „Pet točk, ena črta obalnega pasu“21. januarja 2006 uvedla vlada province Liaoning.
The Liaoning government provides subsidies for certain enterprises located in the area.
Vlada province Liaoning zagotavlja subvencije za nekatere družbe s tega območja.
The first priority is given to enterprises set up in the five key areas as export manufacture bases.
Prednost imajo družbe, ustanovljene kot baze proizvodnje za izvoz, s sedežem na petih ključnih območjih.
The US authorities have found this programme countervailable in the above-mentioned decision concerning Line Pipe.
Organi ZDA so v navedenem sklepu v zvezi z vodi sklenili, da se proti temu programu lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi.
The legal basis of this programme is the "Opinion of Liaoning Provincial Encouraging the Expansion of Opening-Up in Coastal Key Developing Areas."
Pravna podlaga za ta program je „Mnenje [vlade] province Liaoning v zvezi s spodbujanjem razmaha zagona družb na ključnih razvojnih območjih obalnega pasu“.
The Liaoning Development and reform Commission and the Liaoning Finance Bureau manage the interest subsidies, and the Huludao Beigang Industrial Park, Industry, and Commerce Authority administer the fee exemptions provided under this programme.
Subvencije za obresti upravljata komisija province Liaoning za razvoj in reforme ter urad za finance province Liaoning, izvzetja iz plačila pristojbin po tem programu pa so v pristojnosti organa za industrijo in trgovino industrijske cone Huludao Beigang.
This programme provides financial advantages in the form of direct transfer of funds from the GOC in the terms of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation and/or revenue forgone or not collected in the terms of Article 3(1)(a)(ii) of the basic Regulation.
Ta program prinaša ugodnosti v obliki neposrednega prenosa sredstev s strani kitajske vlade v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(i) osnovne uredbe in/ali prihodka, opuščenega ali neizterjanega v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(ii) osnovne uredbe.
These subsidies constitute a benefit under Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation equal to the amount of the grant and/or to the tax/fee exemptions.
Te subvencije se štejejo kot ugodnost na podlagi člena 3(2) osnovne uredbe, ki je enaka znesku nepovratnih sredstev in/ali znesku oprostitve od plačila davka/pristojbine.
These subsidies are specific within the terms of Article 4(3) of the basic Regulation as they are limited to certain enterprises located within the designated jurisdiction of the Liaoning Provincial authority.
Te subvencije so specifične v smislu člena 4(3) osnovne uredbe, saj so omejene na nekatere družbe z območja, za katerega je krajevno pristojen organ province Liaoning.
The first priority for the granting of these subsidies is given to enterprises set up in the five key areas as export manufacture bases, and therefore they are also specific according to Article 4(4)(a) of the basic regulation insofar as they are contingent upon export performance.
Prednost pri dodeljevanju teh subvencij imajo družbe, ustanovljene kot baze proizvodnje za izvoz, s sedežem na petih ključnih območjih, zato so te subvencije tudi specifične v skladu s členom 4(4)(a) osnovne uredbe, saj so odvisne od opravljenega izvoza.
The subsidy rate thus established during the IP for all non-cooperating companies is set at 0,30 % which corresponds to the rate established for this scheme in the US Decision Memorandum of 17 November 2008 on Circular Welded Carbon Quality Steel Line Pipe (Line Pipe) (Page No 23) (Federal Register Vol. 73, No. 227, page 70961 / 24 November 2008).
Stopnja subvencije za to shemo v OP, določena na tak način za vse nesodelujoče družbe, znaša 0,30 %, kar ustreza stopnji za to shemo, določeni v Memorandumu o sklepu ZDA z dne 17. novembra 2008 o varjenih ceveh krožnega prečnega preseka iz visokokakovostnega ogljičnega jekla (vodi) (str. 23) (Zvezni register ZDA, zvezek 73, št. 227, str. 70961 / 24. november 2008).
With regard to investigations conducted by the US authorities, it is noted that the methodology used for calculating the amount of benefit from grant programmes is substantially the same as that employed by the Union [87].
V zvezi s preiskavami organov ZDA je treba omeniti, da je metodologija za izračun zneska ugodnosti po programih nepovratnih sredstev v bistvu enaka tisti, ki jo je uporabila Unija [87].
The legal basis of this programme is the Administrative Measures on Jiangsu Sci-Tech Public Service Platform (Sukeji (2006) No 102; Sucaijiao (2006) No 22).
Pravna podlaga za ta program so Upravni ukrepi o platformi province Jiangsu za javne storitve na področjih znanosti in tehnologije (Sukeji (2006) št. 102, Sucaijiao (2006) št. 22).
The complaint states that this programme provides, among others, grants to certain enterprises.
Trditev iz pritožbe je bila, da ta program, med drugim, zagotavlja nepovratna sredstva za nekatere družbe.
The Government of China stated in its questionnaire reply that no sampled company used or benefited under this programme.
Kitajska vlada je v svojem izpolnjenem vprašalniku izjavila, da nobena vzorčena družba ni uporabljala ali koristila ugodnosti tega programa.
The Commission refers to its arguments that the GOC was expected to provide complete replies also to questions concerning non-sampled companies (recitals (34) - (35) above).
Komisija se na tem mestu sklicuje na svoje utemeljitve, da je od kitajske vlade pričakovala predložitev popolnoma izpolnjenega vprašalnika, tudi o vprašanjih v zvezi z nevzorčenimi družbami (uvodni izjavi (34) in (35)).
Furthermore, the Commission notes that the complaint lists as potential beneficiaries both companies that were sampled and other non-sampled OCS producers located in the relevant area of application.
Poleg tega je Komisija ugotovila, da pritožba kot morebitne upravičence navaja vzorčene družbe in druge nevzorčene proizvajalce jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi z zadevnega območja uporabe.
The Commission therefore bases its findings on the facts available on record in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation, and in particular the information contained in the complaint and the findings by the US authorities that have countervailed this programme in the decision concerning Pre-Stressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand from the People's Republic of China [88].
Komisija je svoje ugotovitve v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe zato utemeljila na razpoložljivih evidentiranih dejstvih, zlasti informacijah iz pritožbe in ugotovitvah organov ZDA, ki so proti temu programu v sklepu v zvezi s prednapetimi jeklenimi pletenicami za betonske elemente s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske uvedli izravnalne ukrepe [88].
The financial advantages granted in the form of grants provide a contribution within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation.
Finančne ugodnosti, dodeljene v obliki nepovratnih sredstev, zagotavljajo prispevek v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(i) osnovne uredbe.
These subsidies are specific within the terms of Article 4(2)(c) of the basic Regulation because, there seem to be no objective criteria or conditions governing the eligibility for the benefits from this scheme (as provided for in Article 4(2)(b) of the basic Regulation) and, on the basis of the facts available, discretion does not seem to be exercised by the Jiangsu Department of Science and Technology is an objective manner.
Te subvencije so specifične v smislu člena 4(2)(c) osnovne uredbe, ker se zdi, da ni objektivnih meril ali pogojev, ki bi urejali upravičenost do ugodnosti po tej shemi (kakor je določeno v členu 4(2)(b) osnovne uredbe), in ker se zdi, na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev, da oddelek province Jiangsu za znanost in tehnologijo diskrecijsko odloči o dodelitvi takih subvencij na način, ki ni objektiven.
The subsidy rate thus established during the IP for all non-cooperating companies is set at 0,01 % which corresponds to the rate established for this scheme in the US Decision Memorandum of 14 May 2010 on Pre-Stressed Concrete Steel Wire Strand (Page No 35) (Federal Register Vol. 75, No. 98, page 28557 / 21 May 2010).
Stopnja subvencije za to shemo v OP, določena na tak način za vse nesodelujoče družbe, znaša 0,01 %, kar ustreza stopnji za to shemo, določeni v Memorandumu o sklepu ZDA z dne 14. maja 2010 o prednapetih jeklenih pletenicah za betonske elemente (str. 35) (Zvezni register ZDA, zvezek 75, št. 98, str. 28557 / 21. maj 2010).
With regard to investigations conducted by the US authorities, it is noted that the methodology used for calculating the amount of benefit from grant programmes is substantially the same as that employed by the Union [89].
V zvezi s preiskavami organov ZDA je treba omeniti, da je metodologija za izračun zneska ugodnosti po programih nepovratnih sredstev v bistvu enaka tisti, ki jo je uporabila Unija [89].
The complaint refers to two grants provided under the Science and Technology programme of Hebei province to an OCS producer in 2009 under this programme for an amount of RMB 700.000 and RMB 2.080.000.
Pritožba se sklicuje na dva primera dodelitve nepovratnih sredstev na podlagi programa province Hebei za znanost in tehnologijo, dodeljenih proizvajalcu jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi, v letu 2009 v znesku 700000 CNY in 2080000 CNY.
The Government of China stated in its questionnaire reply that none of the sampled company was established in Hebei and therefore the requested information was irrelevant for the investigation.
Kitajska vlada je v svojem izpolnjenem vprašalniku izjavila, da nobena vzorčena družba ni imela svojega sedeža v provinci Hebei in da zato zahtevane informacije za preiskavo niso bile pomembne.
The Commission refers to its arguments that the GOC should have provided complete replies also to questions concerning non-sampled companies (recitals (34) - (35) above).
Komisija se na tem mestu sklicuje na svoje utemeljitve, da bi kitajska vlada morala predložiti popolnoma izpolnjen vprašalnik, tudi o vprašanjih v zvezi z nevzorčenimi družbami (uvodni izjavi (34) in (35)).
The Commission findings are therefore based on the facts available on record (in this case the complaint) in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je svoje ugotovitve v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe zato utemeljila na razpoložljivih evidentiranih informacijah (v tem primeru iz pritožbe).
The financial advantages provided under this programme in the form of grants constitute subsidies given that they provide a financial contribution in the terms of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation.
Finančne ugodnosti, dodeljene na podlagi tega programa v obliki nepovratnih sredstev, se štejejo kot subvencije, ker zagotavljajo finančni prispevek v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(i) osnovne uredbe.
They constitute a benefit under Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation equal to the amount of the grants.
Ta nepovratna sredstva se štejejo kot ugodnost na podlagi člena 3(2) osnovne uredbe, katerih znesek je enak znesku nepovratnih sredstev.
These subsidies are specific according to Article 4(3) of the basic Regulation as they are provided only for companies located in the Hebei province.
Te subvencije so specifične v skladu s členom 4(3) osnovne uredbe, saj se zagotavljajo samo družbam iz province Hebei.
The subsidy rate thus established for all non-cooperating companies is negligible (less than 0,01 %).
Stopnja subvencije, določena na naveden način za vse nesodelujoče družbe, je zanemarljiva (manj kot 0,01 %).
AD HOC SUBSIDIES
AD HOC SUBVENCIJE
The complaint listed a number of ad hoc subsidies allegedly granted to certain OCS producers, both SOEs and private companies.
Pritožba je navedla številne ad hoc subvencije, ki so bile domnevno dodeljene nekaterim proizvajalcem jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi, tako družbam v državni in zasebni lasti.
These subsidies were either grants or other tax exemptions or reductions inter alia in order to finance particular projects or assets.
Te subvencije so bile v obliki nepovratnih sredstev ali drugih oprostitev od plačila davka oziroma nižjih davkov, med drugim, zato da bi se financirali določeni projekti ali sredstva.
They were granted in the context of the general strategic policy to upgrade the steel industry.
Dodeljene so bile v okviru splošne strateške politike za nadgradnjo industrije jekla.
The Commission asked the GOC to provide information on these ad hoc subsidies.
Komisija je kitajsko vlado zaprosila, da o teh ad hoc subvencijah predloži informacije.
The GOC replied that the allegations in the complaint were based on quotations from the annual reports and it seemed that none of them concerned sampled companies.
Kitajska vlada je odgovorila, da so trditve iz pritožbe temeljile na navedbah iz letnih poročil in da se zdi, da nobena od teh navedb ni zadevala vzorčenih družb.
Therefore, the GOC concluded that it was not necessary to address transaction-specific allegations concerning non-sampled companies and provinces.
Kitajska vlada je zato sklenila, da ni treba obravnavati trditev o posameznih poslih, ki zadevajo nevzorčene družbe in province.
Furthermore, the GOC restated one of its general comments that the mere listing of certain transactions as 'subsidies' in a company's annual report cannot be taken as evidence sufficient to launch an investigation on them as it "does not constitute sufficient prima facie evidence according to Article 11.2 of the WTO SCM Agreement".
Poleg tega je kitajska vlada ponovila eno od svojih splošnih pripomb o tem, da se sama oznaka nekaterih poslov kot „subvencij“ v letnem poročilu neke družbe ne sme sprejeti kot zadosten dokaz za začetek preiskave o teh poslih, saj se to „ne šteje kot zadosten prima facie dokaz v skladu s členom 11.2 Sporazuma o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih Svetovne trgovinske organizacije“.
The Commission refers to its arguments explaining why the GOC was required to submit information also with regard to the subsidy allegations concerning the non-sampled companies (recitals (34) - (35) above).
Komisija se na tem mestu sklicuje na svoje utemeljitve, v katerih pojasnjuje razlog za obveznost kitajske vlade, da predloži informacije tudi v zvezi z domnevnimi subvencijami, ki zadevajo nevzorčene družbe (uvodni izjavi (34) in (35)).
The Commission based its findings on these ad hoc subsidies on the facts available on file in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je svoje ugotovitve o teh ad hoc subvencijah v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe utemeljila na razpoložljivih informacijah iz spisa.
The ad hoc subsidies listed in the complaint constitute a subsidy in the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation in the form of a direct transfer of funds with regard to the grants and similar transfers of resources, and in the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(ii) of the basic Regulation in the form of revenue forgone for the various exemptions or reductions of taxes and/or fees at central, provincial, or municipal level otherwise due.
Ad hoc subvencije, navedene v pritožbi, se štejejo kot subvencija v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(i) osnovne uredbe v obliki neposrednega prenosa sredstev v zvezi z nepovratnimi sredstvi in podobnimi prenosi sredstev ter v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(ii) osnovne uredbe v obliki opuščenega prihodka iz različnih oprostitev davkov ali nižjih davkov in/ali pristojbin, ki so sicer zapadli, na centralni, provincialni ali občinski ravni.
The Commission notes that the annual reports of the various OCS producers themselves refer to these financial contributions as 'subsidies'.
Komisija je ugotovila, da letna poročila različnih proizvajalcev jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi, ki so jih pripravili sami, za te finančne prispevke uporabljajo izraz „subvencije“.
On the face of it, a number of these subsidies appear to be specific in law or in fact, within the terms of Article 4(2) of the basic Regulation because, in the absence of cooperation from the GOC, they are deemed to be granted to a limited number of steel companies in the encouraged steel sector, and/or because of the manner in which discretion of the granting authorities has been exercised for their granting.
Na prvi pogled se zdi, da so številne od teh subvencij specifične v skladu z zakonom ali dejansko v smislu člena 4(2) osnovne uredbe, ker se zanje šteje, ob nesodelovanju kitajske vlade, da so dodeljene omejenemu številu jeklarskih družb v spodbujanem jeklarskem sektorju, in/ali zaradi načina, kako organ, ki dodeljuje subvencije, diskrecijsko odloči o dodelitvi teh subvencij.
Furthermore, some of these subsidies appear also specific pursuant to Article 4(3) of the basic Regulation since their access was limited to certain enterprises located in designated geographical regions in the territory of a certain province.
Poleg tega se zdi, da so nekatere od teh subvencij tudi specifične na podlagi člena 4(3) osnovne uredbe, saj je bil dostop do subvencij omejen na nekatere družbe z določenih geografskih območij na ozemlju določene province.
The Commission has carefully studied the information available on the record concerning each of these ad hoc subsidies for the various producers of OCS.
Komisija je skrbno proučila razpoložljive evidentirane informacije o vsaki taki ad hoc subvenciji za različne proizvajalce jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi.
The Commission found that some of these subsidies are non-trade distortive and/or confer relatively small amounts to OCS producers.
Komisija je ugotovila, da nekatere od teh subvencij ne izkrivljajo trgovine in/ali proizvajalcem jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi, prinašajo sorazmerno majhne zneske.
By contrast, there are also a number of specific subsidies that appear to confer significant amounts of subsidies to the OCS producers.
In obratno, obstajajo številne posebne subvencije, za katere se zdi, da proizvajalcem jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi, prinašajo znatne zneske subvencij.
In view of this and of the information present on file, the Commission considers it appropriate to calculate the applicable countervailing duty by reference to the simple average resulting from the grants and the tax programmes countervailed in this proceeding despite the non-cooperation by the GOC and the relevant OCS producers.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega in informacij iz spisa Komisija meni, da je izravnalno dajatev, ki naj se uporabi, primerno izračunati referenčno glede na navadno povprečje, ki izvira iz programov nepovratnih sredstev in davčnih programov, proti katerim so bili uvedeni izravnalni ukrepi v tem postopku, kljub nesodelovanju kitajske vlade in ustreznih proizvajalcev jeklenih izdelkov, prevlečenih z organskimi premazi.
The subsidy rate thus established for all non-cooperating companies is set at 0,5 %.
Stopnja subvencije, določena na naveden način za vse nesodelujoče družbe, znaša 0,5 %.
COMMENTS OF PARTIES AFTER DEFINITIVE DISCLOSURE
PRIPOMBE STRANI PO KONČNEM RAZKRITJU
GOC, one sampled exporting producer (Zhejiang Huadong) and the complainant submitted comments on definitive disclosure.
Kitajska vlada, en vzorčen proizvajalec izvoznik (Zhejiang Huadong) in pobudnik so predložili pripombe glede končnega razkritja.
COMMENTS OF GOC ON DEFINITIVE DISCLOSURE
PRIPOMBE KITAJSKE VLADE GLEDE KONČNEGA RAZKRITJA
In view of the numerous and very detailed arguments submitted by the GOC and that fact that it would be impracticable (also due to the presence of some confidential information) to include all of them in this regulation, the Commission has bilaterally explained in writing to the GOC all the legal and factual elements underlining the rejection of these claims.
Ob upoštevanju številnih in zelo natančnih argumentov, ki jih je predložila kitajska vlada, in dejstva, da bi bilo neizvedljivo (tudi zaradi prisotnosti nekaterih zaupnih informacij) vse vključiti v to uredbo, je Komisija kitajski vladi dvostransko pisno obrazložila pravne elemente in dejstva, pri čemer je poudarila zavrnitev teh trditev.
Procedural issues
Postopkovna vprašanja
In a number of its arguments on the initiation of the investigation, the GOC seemed to consider the GOES panel report [90] to be controlling in interpreting certain provisions of the SCM Agreement and the EU Basic Regulation.
Zdi se, da je kitajska vlada je v več svojih argumentih za začetek preiskave upoštevala poročilo odbora GOES [90], naj nadzoruje interpretacijo nekaterih določb Sporazuma SIU in osnovne uredbe EU:
For instance, the GOC talks about doubts being "removed" by the GOES panel [91].
Navaja na primer „odstranitev“ s strani odbora GOES [91].
While the Commission took note of the findings of the panel in this and does not disagree with a number of its conclusions, these findings do not amend the relevant Treaty or legislative language, notably Articles 11.2 and 11.3 of the WTO Subsidies Agreement or Articles 9(2) and 9(3) of the basic CVD Regulation which are relevant and binding for the Commission in all AS proceedings.
Komisija je upoštevala ugotovitve odbora pri tem in soglaša z njegovimi številnimi sklepi, vendar te ugotovitve ne spremenijo ustreznega meddržavnega sporazuma ali pravnega jezika, zlasti členov 11.2 in 11.3 Sporazuma o subvencijah STO ali členov 9(2) in (3) osnovne uredbe o izravnalni dajatvi, ki so ustrezni in zavezujoči za Komisijo v vseh protisubvencijskih postopkih.
The GOC claimed that the Commission is in breach of Article 11.2 of the SCM Agreement (ASCM) because it initiated this investigation on the basis of a complaint which did not contain any evidence of the "existence, degree and effect of any (/each) alleged subsidy" and therefore the Commission had violated its obligation under Article 11.3 to review the accuracy and the adequacy of the evidence.
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da Komisija krši člen 11.2 Sporazuma SIU, ker je sprožila to raziskavo na podlagi pritožbe, ki ni vsebovala nobenega dokaza o „obstoju, stopnji in učinku katere koli (/vsake) domnevne subvencije“, in zato je Komisija kršila svojo obveznost ugotavljanja točnosti in ustreznosti dokazov v skladu s členom 11.3.
The GOC's reference to "existence, degree and effect" of the subsidy is a quote from Article 11.1 of the ASCM and describes the purpose of an investigation.
Sklicevanje kitajske vlade na „obstoj, stopnjo in učinek“ subvencije je navedek iz člena 11.1 Sporazuma SIU ter opisuje namen preiskave.
In Commission's view it is unrelated to Article 11.2 of ASCM, which requires that the complainant shall provide "sufficient evidence of the existence of a subsidy and, if possible, its amount" and the complaint shall include "such information as is "reasonably available" to the complainant.
Po mnenju Komisije to ni povezano s členom 11.2 Sporazuma SIU, ki zahteva, da pritožnik zagotovi „zadostne dokaze o obstoju subvencije in, če je mogoče, njen znesek“ ter da pritožnik vključi „take informacije, ki so „v razumni meri“ na voljo pritožniku“.
The Commission has analysed the evidence submitted by the complainant, which was substantial, as it appears clearly from the version open for inspection by interested parties of the complaint.
Komisija je analizirala dokaze, ki jih je predložil pritožnik, in bili so tehtni, kot je jasno razvidno iz različice, ki je na voljo zainteresiranim stranem pritožnika za pregled.
The Commission services only proposed the initiation of an investigation after having duly analysed the accuracy and adequacy of the evidence which they consider sufficient prima facie.
Službe Komisije so sprožitev preiskave predlagale, šele ko so ustrezno analizirale točnost in ustreznost dokazov, za katere menijo, da so zadostni dokazi prima facie.
The GOC suggested that each element (financial contribution, benefit and specificity) of each subsidy scheme has to be determined individually.
Kitajska vlada je predlagala, naj se posamezen element (finančni prispevki, ugodnosti in specifičnost) vsake subvencijske sheme določi posamično.
The Commission agrees with the GOC that subsidy allegations have to be examined individually.
Komisija se strinja s kitajsko vlado, da je treba domnevne subvencije preiskati posamično.
