The market of white phosphorus is highly concentrated, since there are only few producers in the world.
Trg belega fosforja je zelo koncentriran, saj ta trg sestavlja le nekaj proizvajalcev na svetu.
Information gathered during the investigation has shown that the People’s Republic of China is the leading producer of white phosphorus.
Informacije, zbrane med preiskavo, so pokazale, da je Ljudska republika Kitajska vodilna proizvajalka belega fosforja.
At the beginning of the period considered in 2008, the People’s Republic of China introduced an export duty rate of 100 % on white phosphorus in addition to the then existing export duty rate applicable of 20 %.
Na začetku obravnavanega obdobja, tj. leta 2008, je Ljudska republika Kitajska uvedla 100-odstotno stopnjo izvozne dajatve na beli fosfor poleg takrat veljavne 20-odstotne stopnje izvozne dajatve.
As a result, imports from the People’s Republic of China dropped sharply and the import volumes remained low throughout the period considered, although the export duty rate decreased to 20 % in the IP.
Posledično se je uvoz iz Ljudske republike Kitajske znatno zmanjšal, obseg uvoza pa je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju ostal majhen, čeprav se je stopnja izvozne dajatve v OP zmanjšala na 20 %.
Imports from the Socialist Republic of Vietnam (‘Vietnam’) represented a relatively small import volume during the period considered.
Uvoz iz Socialistične republike Vietnam („Vietnam“) je v obravnavanem obdobju predstavljal razmeroma majhen obseg uvoza.
It should be noted that the average unit import prices from the People’s Republic of China and Vietnam are in the same range as the average unit price of the Union industry.
Poudariti bi bilo treba, da so povprečne uvozne cene na enoto iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Vietnama na enaki ravni kot povprečna cena na enoto industrije Unije.
Following the disclosure of the information document, one interested party claimed that the price pressure on the Union market was caused by imports of white phosphorus from People’s Republic of China.
Po razkritju opisnega lista je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da je uvoz belega fosforja iz Ljudske republike Kitajske povzročil pritisk na cene na trgu Unije.
However, the available data do not confirm this allegation as import volumes from People’s Republic of China decreased between 2008 and the IP (with a peak in 2010) and import prices from the People’s Republic of China were at approximately the same levels than the Union industry’s sales prices throughout the whole period considered, or even higher.
Vendar pa razpoložljivi podatki ne potrjujejo te trditve, saj se je obseg uvoza iz Ljudske republike Kitajske med letom 2008 in OP zmanjšal (pri čemer je bil najvišji leta 2010), cene uvoza iz Ljudske republike Kitajske pa so v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju ostale na približno isti ravni kot prodajne cene industrije Unije ali so bile celo višje.
It can be further observed that the market share of imports of the People’s Republic of China remained relatively stable between 2008 and the IP (with a peak in 2010), unlike the Kazakh’s market share which increased constantly, by 36 % in total between 2008 and the IP.
Nadalje je mogoče ugotoviti, da je tržni delež uvoza iz Ljudske republike Kitajske med letom 2008 in OP ostal razmeroma stabilen (pri čemer je bil najvišji leta 2010), za razliko od tržnega deleža Kazahstana, ki se je stalno povečeval, in sicer za 36 % med letom 2008 in OP.
Development of the Union industry’s cost of production
Spreminjanje proizvodnih stroškov industrije Unije
Following the disclosure of the information document, the same party claimed that the increase in the unit cost of production of the Union industry should be recognised as a separate cause of injury.
Po razkritju opisnega lista je ista stran trdila, da bi morali povečanje proizvodnih stroškov industrije Unije na enoto priznati kot ločen vzrok za škodo.
It was argued that while the price of the main raw material decreased overall, unit costs increased.
Trdila je, da se je cena glavne surovine na splošno zmanjšala, stroški na enoto pa so narasli.
The investigation showed that the main reason for the increase of Union industry’s unit cost was in fact the loss of the economies of scale due to the decreased sales on the free market as a result of the dumped imports from Kazakhstan and the subsequent decrease of production volume.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je bil glavni vzrok za povečanje stroškov industrije Unije na enoto dejanska izguba ekonomije obsega zaradi zmanjšanja prodaje na prostem trgu, kar je posledica dampinškega uvoza iz Kazahstana in posledičnega zmanjšanja obsega proizvodnje.
Therefore, the increase in unit costs cannot be considered as a separate cause of injury, but as a consequence of the dumped imports.
Zato povečanja stroškov na enoto ni mogoče obravnavati kot ločen vzrok za škodo, ampak kot posledico dampinškega uvoza.
Preferential agreement with exporting producer
Preferencialni sporazum s proizvajalcem izvoznikom
Some interested parties claimed that any injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the end of the relationship between the Union industry and the cooperating exporting producer and the consequent loss of the preferential supply agreement, which meant that the Union industry had to face the competition of direct imports from the exporting producer.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da sta škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povzročila prenehanje razmerja med industrijo Unije in sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom ter posledično prenehanje preferencialnega sporazuma o dobavi, kar je pomenilo, da se je morala industrija Unije soočiti s konkurenco neposrednega uvoza od proizvajalca izvoznika.
According to these parties, the preferential agreement compensated for the lack of direct access by the Union industry to the main raw material, phosphate rock.
Po navedbah teh strani je preferencialni sporazum izravnal pomanjkanje neposrednega dostopa industrije Unije do glavne surovine, fosfatne kamnine.
Other parties argued that given the end of the preferential agreement, alleged past investments of the Union industry in the former related company contributed to the injury suffered, because the end of the preferential agreement did not allow the Union industry to benefit from these investments.
Druge strani so trdile, da so zaradi izteka preferencialnega sporazuma domnevne pretekle naložbe industrije Unije v nekdanjo povezano družbo prispevale k nastali škodi, saj zaradi izteka preferencialnega sporazuma industrija Unije ni mogla uživati ugodnosti teh naložb.
Indeed, the investigation showed that between 2003 and 2007 the Union industry and the cooperating exporting producer were owned by the same shareholder and after that a preferential sales agreement continued to exist between the two parties until 2008.
Preiskava je dejansko pokazala, da je bil med letoma 2003 in 2007 lastnik delnic industrije Unije in sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika isti delničar, preferencialni prodajni sporazum med obema pogodbenicama pa je veljal do leta 2008.
The parties concerned did no provide any supporting evidence showing the level of any alleged investments of the Union industry in the activities of the exporting producer in Kazakhstan.
Zadevne strani niso predložile nobenih dokazil, ki bi prikazale stopnjo domnevnih naložb industrije Unije v dejavnostih proizvajalca izvoznika v Kazahstanu.
The investigation did, furthermore, not reveal any direct link between any possible past investments of the Union industry and the material injury suffered during the IP.
Poleg tega preiskava ni razkrila nobene neposredne povezave med morebitnimi preteklimi naložbami industrije Unije in znatno škodo, nastalo v OP.
Indeed, the information available did not show to what extent the alleged investments could have contributed to the current situation of the Union industry, if they contributed at all.
Vsekakor pa iz razpoložljivih informacij ni razvidno, v kakšnem obsegu bi domnevne naložbe lahko prispevale k sedanjemu položaju industrije Unije, če so sploh prispevale.
Therefore, this claim was rejected as unfounded.
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena kot neutemeljena.
As to the loss of the common ownership, this cannot be considered as a factor which as such is causing injury.
Izguba skupnega lastništva ne more šteti za dejavnik, ki kot tak povzroča škodo.
Indeed, the loss of the common ownership merely meant that the exporting producer in Kazakhstan could export the product concerned directly to independent customers in the European Union.
Izguba skupnega lastništva samo pomeni, da je proizvajalec izvoznik v Kazahstanu lahko izvažal zadevni izdelek neposredno neodvisnim strankam v Evropski uniji.
It did not mean however that such exports should be made at injurious dumping prices.
Vendar to ni pomenilo, da bi tak izvoz moral potekati po škodljivih dampinških cenah.
It is the latter that are causing injury to the Union industry.
Škodo industriji Unije pa povzroča slednje.
Access to the main raw material
Dostop do glavne surovine
Several interested parties claimed that the material injury suffered by the Union industry was linked to a lack of competitiveness in terms of costs, as it had no direct access to phosphate rock, one of the main raw materials to produce white phosphorus, while the cooperating exporting producer in Kazakhstan is located next to phosphate rock mines and enjoys exclusive exploitation rights.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da je bila znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povezana s pomanjkanjem njene konkurenčnosti v smislu stroškov, saj ni imela neposrednega dostopa do fosfatne kamnine, ene od glavnih surovin za proizvodnjo belega fosforja, medtem ko ima sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik v Kazahstanu neposreden dostop do rudnikov fosfatne kamnine in uživa izključne pravice do izkoriščanja.
It has been argued that transport costs of phosphate rocks and costs for the disposal of sludge (waste in the white phosphorus production) are significant since there are no natural storages for sludge available.
Nekateri so trdili, da so stroški prevoza fosfatnih kamnin in stroški odlaganja blata (odpadek pri proizvodnji belega fosforja) veliki, saj naravna skladišča blata niso na voljo.
While the investigation showed that the cost of phosphate rock is indeed significant, this factor alone could not explain the injurious situation of the Union industry.
Čeprav je preiskava pokazala, da so stroški, povezani s fosfatno kamnino, dejansko veliki, le s tem dejavnikom ni mogoče razložiti stanja škode industrije Unije.
Indeed, even if the cost difference of phosphate rock between the Union industry and the cooperating exporting producer is taken into account in assessing the injury suffered by the Union industry, injury would still remain significant.
Tudi če bi pri ocenjevanju škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, upoštevali razliko v stroških fosfatne kamnine med industrijo Unije in sodelujočim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, bi bila škoda še vedno velika.
The investigation showed that while the transport cost for phosphate rock is significant for the Union industry, it is not so as to render the production in the Union of white phosphorus uncompetitive as such.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so stroški prevoza fosfatne kamnine za industrijo Unije sicer visoki, vendar ne tako, da bi lahko proizvodnjo belega fosforja v Uniji šteli za nekonkurenčno.
Even taking into account the transport costs of phosphate rock in the cost of production of the Union industry, the injury margin would still remain substantial.
Tudi če bi stroške prevoza fosfatne kamnine vključili v proizvodne stroške industrije Unije, bi bila stopnja škode še vedno visoka.
Regarding the claim of the lack of natural storage of sludge, the investigation confirms that no evidence was found that this generated a disadvantage to the Union industry, as it was able to recycle sludge by bringing it back into the production process of white phosphorus.
V zvezi s trditvijo, da ni naravnega skladišča blata, je preiskava potrdila, da ni bilo najdenih dokazov, da je to poslabšalo položaj industrije Unije, saj je lahko blato reciklirala tako, da ga je vrnila nazaj v proizvodni postopek belega fosforja.
In summary, the investigation showed that even if the cost advantage of the cooperating exporting producer was to be taken into account, this would not explain the injurious situation of the Union industry and that therefore the cost difference in sourcing phosphate rock could only have had a partial impact on the injurious situation of the Union industry.
Na kratko je preiskava pokazala, da tudi če bi upoštevali stroškovno prednost sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika, to ne bi razložilo stanja škode industrije Unije, in da bi lahko zato razlika v stroških pridobivanja fosfatne kamnine le delno vplivala na stanje škode industrije Unije.
This finding was supported by the fact that significantly better profitability figures were recorded for derivatives products manufactured by the Union industry that incorporate white phosphorus.
Ta ugotovitev je bila podprta z dejstvom, da so se za bistveno bolj dobičkonosne izkazali derivati, ki jih proizvaja industrija Unije in ki vsebujejo beli fosfor.
On these grounds, it was concluded that the access to the raw material and its impact on costs although contributing to some extent to the injurious situation of the Union industry was not such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from Kazakhstan and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Na podlagi tega je bilo sklenjeno, da sta dostop do surovin in njihov učinek na stroške sicer do neke mere prispevala k škodi za industrijo Unije, vendar ne v tolikšni meri, da bi prekinila vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz Kazahstana in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Production achievements of the Union industry and imports by the Union industry of the product concerned
Proizvodni dosežki industrije Unije in uvoz zadevnega izdelka s strani industrije Unije
Several interested parties claimed that according to the annual report of 2010 the Union industry faced severe technical problems in 2010 and in the first half of 2011 and that these problems had an adverse effect on its production levels which led it to import the product concerned from Kazakhstan.
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da se je na podlagi letnega poročila za leto 2010 industrija Unije leta 2010 in v prvi polovici leta 2011 srečevala z velikimi tehničnimi težavami in da so te težave škodljivo vplivale na njen obseg proizvodnje, zaradi česar je začela zadevni izdelek uvažati iz Kazahstana.
They also argued that any injury suffered was also the result of these imports and was therefore self-inflicted.
Prav tako so zainteresirane strani trdile, da je škoda nastala tudi zaradi tega uvoza in da jo je tako industrija Unije povzročila sama.
The investigation showed that the technical problems that the Union industry faced in 2010 and in the first half of 2011 did not significantly affect its situation, as it led neither to a stop in production, nor to a situation where it could not meet demands of supply from clients in the free market for white phosphorus, from its own production.
Preiskava je pokazala, da tehnične težave, s katerimi se je srečevala industrija Unije leta 2010 in v prvi polovici leta 2011, niso bistveno vplivale na njen položaj, saj niso povzročile niti zaustavitve proizvodnje niti razmer, v katerih industrija Unije ne bi mogla iz lastne proizvodnje zadovoljiti povpraševanja strank po belem fosforju na prostem trgu.
Furthermore, it was found that the Union industry imported from Kazakhstan and that those imports were complementary in nature and exceptional as well as limited in terms of volume when compared to the total Union production.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da je industrija Unije uvažala iz Kazahstana in da je bil ta uvoz v primerjavi s celotno proizvodnjo Unije dopolnilen, izreden in omejenega obsega.
Moreover, the investigation found no evidence that the Union industry sold any of the imports in the free market.
Poleg tega v preiskavi niso bili odkriti nobeni dokazi, da je industrija Unije prodala kak del uvoza na prostem trgu.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the director’s report of 2010 was attached to the consolidated annual accounts of the Union industry for the whole activities of the company and did not only therefore relate to the white phosphorus production.
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da je bilo poročilo direktorja za leto 2010 priloženo konsolidiranim letnim računovodskim izkazom industrije Unije za vse dejavnosti družbe in se zato ni nanašalo samo na proizvodnjo belega fosforja.
On these grounds, it was found that the impact of the technical difficulties faced by the Union industry during part of the period considered and the limited imports of the product concerned, did not have a significant impact, if any at all, on the situation of the Union industry with regard to white phoshorous destined for the free market and was not such as to break the causal link.
Na podlagi tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da učinek tehničnih težav, s katerimi se je soočala industrija Unije nekaj časa v obravnavanem obdobju, in omejen uvoz zadevnega izdelka nista imela znatnega učinka, če sta ga sploh imela, na položaj industrije Unije glede belega fosforja, namenjenega za prosti trg, in ta ni bil takšen, da bi lahko prekinil vzročno zvezo.
The arguments raised by the interested parties in this regard were rejected.
Argumenti zainteresiranih strani so bili v tem pogledu zavrnjeni.
New production process of the Union industry
Nov proizvodni postopek industrije Unije
Some interested parties claimed that the Union industry invested significant amounts in new production technologies resulting in technical difficulties and environmental problems which caused the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je industrija Unije vlagala veliko denarja v nove proizvodne tehnologije, kar je povzročilo tehnične in okoljske težave, zaradi česar je nastala znatna škoda za industrijo Unije.
The investigation confirmed that the Union industry invested in the development of a new production process substituting phosphate rock by phosphate extracted from waste streams.
Preiskava je potrdila, da je industrija Unije vlagala v razvoj novih proizvodnih postopkov, ki bi nadomestili uporabo fosfatne kamnine, tako da bi fosfat pridobivali iz tokov odpadkov.
However, as mentioned in recital 92, in Table 10 above, the investigation has also shown that the investments regarding white phosphorus decreased over the period considered.
Vendar je, kot je že navedeno v uvodni izjavi 92, preiskava v tabeli 10 pokazala tudi, da so se naložbe v zvezi z belim fosforjem v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšale.
The investments in new technology could thus not have played a significant part in the deterioration of the situation of the Union industry.
Naložbe v novo tehnologijo zato ne bi mogle bistveno poslabšati položaja industrije Unije.
Furthermore, the investigation did not reveal any evidence that the new technologies resulted in technical difficulties and environmental problems, as claimed, and the interested parties concerned did not support their allegations with any factual data.
Poleg tega preiskava ni odkrila nobenih dokazov, da so nove tehnologije povzročile tehnične in okoljske težave, kakor so trdile zadevne zainteresirane strani, ki tudi niso podprle svojih trditev z dejanskimi podatki.
The arguments of the parties in this respect were therefore rejected.
Trditve zainteresiranih strani v zvezi s tem so bile zato zavrnjene.
Some interested parties claimed that the Union industry’s export sales have dropped significantly during the period considered and that this has caused the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da se je izvozna prodaja industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju bistveno zmanjšala in da je to povzročilo znatno škodo za industrijo Unije.
The investigation showed that exports sales accounted for a small percentage of the total Union industry’s production and could only have had a very limited impact on the overall situation of the Union industry.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je izvozna prodaja zajemala majhen odstotek celotne proizvodnje industrije Unije in bi lahko le zelo omejeno vplivala na splošen položaj industrije Unije.
On these grounds, it was found that the impact of the Union industry’s export performance was not such as to break the causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Glede na navedeno je bilo ugotovljeno, da vpliv izvoza industrije Unije ni bil tako velik, da bi pretrgal vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in znatno škodo za industrijo Unije.
Therefore, the parties’ arguments in this respect had to be rejected.
Zato je bilo treba trditve zainteresiranih strani v zvezi s tem zavrniti.
Impact of the financial and economic crisis
Vpliv finančne in gospodarske krize
One interested party claimed that any injury caused to Union industry is due to the economic crisis and the contraction of demand in the Union.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da sta škodo industriji Unije povzročila gospodarska kriza in zmanjšanje povpraševanja v Uniji.
The present investigation, as mentioned in recitals above, showed that the decrease of Union consumption on the free market was only 2 % during the period considered.
Vendar je ta preiskava, kot je navedeno v zgornjih uvodnih izjavah, pokazala, da je bilo v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije na prostem trgu samo 2-odstotno.
Therefore, the impact of the economic crisis in terms of a decrease in consumption could not have been an important factor in the steep decrease in sales volume as shown in recitals 76 et seq.
Učinek gospodarske krize z vidika zmanjšanja potrošnje zato ne bi mogel bistveno zmanjšati obsega prodaje, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 76 in naslednjih uvodnih izjavah.
In terms of prices, the market saw a drop between 2008 and 2010, but the depression of sales prices suffered by the Union industry continued and even increased after 2009 in an attempt to follow the low prices of the dumped imports from Kazakhstan.
Cene na trgu so se med letoma 2008 in 2010 znižale, zniževanje prodajnih cen industrije Unije pa se je nadaljevalo in se po letu 2009 še stopnjevalo, da bi se približali nizkim cenam dampinškega uvoza iz Kazahstana.
On these grounds, it was found that the overall impact of the financial and economic crisis and contraction in demand was not such as to break the causal link established between the material injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports.
Glede na navedeno je bilo ugotovljeno, da splošni vpliv finančne in gospodarske krize ter zmanjšanja povpraševanja ni bil tako velik, da bi pretrgal vzročno zvezo med znatno škodo za industrijo Unije in dampinškim uvozom.
Customer choice of suppliers
Strankina izbira dobaviteljev
It was claimed that the injury suffered by Union industry was caused by the customers’ choice to change supplier due to, inter alia, the alleged non-compliance with environmental and safety issues.
Izražena je bila trditev, da je škodo za industrijo Unije povzročila izbira strank, da zamenjajo dobavitelja, med drugim zaradi domnevnega neupoštevanja okoljskih in varnostnih vprašanj.
No evidence was however provided and the investigation did not bring into light any factual circumstances confirming these allegations.
Vendar ni bilo predloženih nobenih dokazov, prav tako pa preiskava ni razkrila dejanskih okoliščin, ki bi potrdile te trditve.
To the contrary, the investigation showed that the market is mainly price driven and other considerations do not play any decisive role.
Nasprotno je preiskava pokazala, da je na trgu predvsem pomembna cena in da drugi dejavniki nimajo odločilne vloge.
On these grounds, these claims were rejected.
Te trditve so bile zato zavrnjene.
Impact of the sales in the captive market
Učinek prodaje na omejeni trg
