natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
As a consequence, in order to ensure that the failure of the parties to provide the information does not hinder the investigation, the Commission has replaced the unverifiable data provided by the Vietnamese producers with other available data, such as the Eurostat Comext database to determine the overall import volumes from Vietnam into the Union, and cost data provided in the request to determine the share of Chinese parts (see recital 50 below).
Za zagotovitev, da zaradi tega, ker strani niso predložile informacij, preiskava ne bi bila ovirana, je Komisija nepreverljive podatke, ki so jih predložili vietnamski proizvajalci, nadomestila z drugimi dostopnimi podatki, na primer iz Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke Comext, da bi ugotovila skupni obseg uvoza iz Vietnama v Unijo, in podatke o stroških iz zahtevka, da bi ugotovila delež kitajskih delov (glej uvodno izjavo 50 spodaj).
Therefore, findings in respect of imports of the product concerned into the Union and exports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters from the PRC to Vietnam had to be made on the basis of the facts available in accordance with Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation.
Zato je bilo treba ugotovitve v zvezi z uvozom zadevnega izdelka v Unijo in izvozom žepnih plinskih vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen, ki jih ni mogoče ponovno polniti, iz LRK v Vietnam sprejeti na podlagi dostopnih dejstev v skladu s členom 18(1) osnovne uredbe.
UN Comtrade statistics provided in the request were used for the determination of the overall exports from the PRC to Vietnam.
Za določitev celotnega izvoza iz LRK v Vietnam so bili uporabljeni podatki iz statistike Comtrade Združenih narodov iz zahtevka.
Change in the pattern of trade

Imports of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters into the Union
Uvoz žepnih plinskih vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen, ki jih ni mogoče ponovno polniti, v Unijo
Imports of the product concerned from the PRC dropped in 1991 when the measures were first introduced.
Uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK je upadel leta 1991, po sprejetju ukrepov.
The imports have remained small throughout the successive modifications and extensions of the measures in 1995, 1999, 2001 and 2007.
Uvoz je ostal majhen tudi po vseh poznejših spremembah in razširitvah ukrepov v letih 1995, 1999, 2001 in 2007.
Imports of lighters from the PRC between 1 January 2008 and 31 March 2012 were relatively stable in terms of volume, around 50 million pieces for 2008 and 2009, 70 million pieces in 2010 and 60 million in 2011 and the RP.
Uvoz vžigalnikov iz LRK je bil od 1. januarja 2008 in 31. marca 2012 sorazmerno stabilen v smislu obsega in sicer okrog 50 milijonov kosov v letih 2008 in 2009, 70 milijonov kosov v letu 2010 ter 60 milijonov EUR v letu 2011 in v obdobju poročanja.
However, they consisted only of refillable models and electrical piezo lighters which were not subject to the measures.
Vendar pa je uvoz obsegal le modele, ki jih je mogoče ponovno polniti, in električne piezo vžigalnike, za katere ukrepi niso veljali.
The imports of the product under investigation from Vietnam have increased over time.
Obseg uvoza izdelka v preiskavi iz Vietnama je sčasoma rasel.
While in 1997 there were practically no imports into the Union of the product under investigation from Vietnam, since 2007 there has been a rapid increase in the import volume of the product under investigation.
Leta 1997 praktično ni bilo uvoza izdelka v preiskavi iz Vietnama v Unijo, od leta 2007 pa se je obseg uvoza izdelka v preiskavi hitro povečal.
In RP imports from Vietnam represented 84 % of all imports to the Union.
V obdobju poročanja je uvoz iz Vietnama pomenil 84 % vsega uvoza v Unijo.

Statistični podatki iz zahtevka.
Exports of lighter parts from the PRC to Vietnam
Izvoz delov vžigalnikov iz LRK v Vietnam
In volumes, this would correspond to an increase from less than 50 million to 200 million finished lighters.
Prevedeno v količine to pomeni, da se je število dokončanih vžigalnikov z manj kot 50 milijonov povzpelo na 200 milijonov.
Production volumes of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters in Vietnam
Obseg proizvodnje žepnih plinskih vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen, ki jih ni mogoče ponovno polniti, v Vietnamu
As the information provided by the Vietnamese producers had to be disregarded, no verifiable information could be obtained on the possible levels of the genuine production of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters.
Glede na to, da ni bilo mogoče upoštevati informacij, ki so jih predložili vietnamski proizvajalci, ni bilo mogoče pridobiti nobenih preverljivih informacij o možni ravni dejanske proizvodnje žepnih plinskih vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen, ki jih ni mogoče ponovno polniti.
Conclusion on the change in the pattern of trade
Sklep glede spremembe v trgovinskem vzorcu
The overall decrease in exports from the PRC to the Union and the increase in exports from Vietnam to the Union since 2007 and the significant increase in exports of lighter parts from the PRC to Vietnam since 1999 constituted a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC and Vietnam, on the one hand, and the Union, on the other.
Splošno zmanjšanje izvoza iz LRK v Unijo in povečanje izvoza iz Vietnama v Unijo po letu 2007 ter znatno povečanje izvoza delov vžigalnikov iz LRK v Vietnam od leta 1999 so pomenili spremembo v trgovinskem vzorcu med LRK in Vietnamom na eni in Unijo na drugi strani.
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 v trgovinskem vzorcu povzročiti praksa, postopek ali dejavnost, za katere razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali niso gospodarsko upravičeni.
The practice, process or work includes, inter alia, the assembly of parts by an assembly operation in a third country.
Praksa, postopek ali dejavnost med drugim vključujejo sestavljanje delov z aktivnostjo sestavljanja v tretji državi.
For this purpose the existence of assembly operations is determined in accordance with Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation.
V ta namen je obstoj aktivnosti sestavljanja izdelka določen v skladu s členom 13(2) osnovne uredbe.
Assembly operations
Aktivnost sestavljanja
As mentioned above, the absence of reliable records and the witholding of information which was relevant for the investigation has led to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, je bil zaradi nezanesljive evidence in zaradi zadrževanja informacij, pomembnih za preiskavo, uporabljen člen 18 osnovne uredbe.
Whether or not an assembly operation in Vietnam could be considered to circumvent the measures had to be based on the facts available.
Ali se sestavljanje v Vietnamu lahko šteje za izogibanje ukrepom, je bilo mogoče obravnavati na podlagi dostopnih dejstev.
The investigation has revealed that the circumvention takes place through assembly operations conducted by Vietnamese companies which operate in close cooperation with Chinese and Hong Kong registered companies.
Preiskava je pokazala, da izogibanje ukrepom poteka prek aktivnosti sestavljanja, ki jih opravljajo vietnamske družbe, ki poslujejo v tesnem sodelovanju z družbami, registriranimi v LRK in v Hongkongu.
The majority of cooperating Vietnamese producers are owned by PRC and Hong Kong companies.
Večina sodelujočih vietnamskih proizvajalcev je v lasti kitajskih in hongkonških družb.
Also the management of the Vietnamese companies is, to a large extent, composed of Chinese professionals who have previously worked for lighter producers in the PRC.
Prav tako so uprave teh vietnamskih družb v veliki meri sestavljene iz kitajskih strokovnjakov, ki so pred tem delali za proizvajalce vžigalnikov v LRK.
The Vietnamese producers import their lighter parts from the PRC through related companies registered in Hong Kong.
Vietnamski proizvajalci dele vžigalnikov uvažajo iz LRK prek povezanih družb s sedežem v Hongkongu.
Some of the Vietnamese producers operate under processing agreements with Chinese and/or Hong Kong principals.
Nekateri vietnamski proizvajalci delujejo v okviru sporazumov o predelavi s kitajskimi in/ali hongkonškimi matičnimi družbami.
Under these agreements, the Chinese principal provides the lighter parts and plastic to the Vietnamese factory, and sells the finished lighters.
V skladu s temi sporazumi kitajska matična družba vietnamski tovarni zagotovi dele vžigalnikov in plastiko ter proda dokončane vžigalnike.
Even in the absence of such processing agreements, the lighters produced in Vietnam are typically sold to Hong Kong companies who are in charge of the commercial relationship with Union importers.
Tudi kadar se ne sklenejo taki sporazumi, se v Vietnamu proizvedeni vžigalniki običajno prodajajo hongkonškim družbam, ki skrbijo za trgovinske odnose z uvozniki v Uniji.
Due to the unreliability of the information provided by the Vietnamese producers, it has not been possible to determine whether the percentage thresholds set out in Article 13(2) of the basic Regulation are fulfilled or not.
Zaradi nezanesljivosti informacij, ki so jih predložili vietnamski proizvajalci, ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti, ali sta v deležih izražena praga iz člena 13(2) osnovne uredbe dosežena ali ne.
It has not been possible to verify whether the lighter parts originating from the PRC constitute more or less than 60 % of the total value of the assembled lighters and whether or not the value added to the parts brought in has been greater or lesser than 25 % of the manufacturing cost.
Ni bilo mogoče preveriti, ali deli vžigalnikov s poreklom iz LRK predstavljajo več ali manj od 60 % celotne vrednosti delov sestavljenih vžigalnikov in je bila dodana vrednost, za katero se je povečala vrednost vnesenih delov, večja ali manjša od 25 % proizvodnih stroškov.
In the absence of reliable information from the Vietnamese producers, the determination must be made on the basis of the facts available.
Glede na to, da vietnamski proizvajalci niso predložili zanesljivih informacij, je treba ugotovitev sprejeti na osnovi dostopnih dejstev.
The information provided in the request shows that the lighter parts originating from PRC represent between 60 % and 70 % of the total value and that the value added to the parts brought in corresponds to 12 % of the manufacturing costs.
Iz informacij v zahtevku je razvidno, da deli vžigalnikov z izvorom v LRK predstavljajo med 60 % in 70 % celotne vrednosti in da dodana vrednost vnesenih delov ustreza 12 % proizvodnih stroškov.
These values are based on comparable production costs of a manufacturer located in the PRC.
Navedene vrednosti temeljijo na primerljivih proizvodnih stroških proizvajalca s sedežem v LRK.
The underlying calculations are considered to be reasonably accurate and to reflect the division of costs in Vietnam, because the lighter parts and raw materials used are the same in both the PRC and Vietnam.
Za izračune, na katerih temeljijo navedene vrednosti, se šteje, da so sprejemljivo natančni in odražajo porazdelitev stroškov v Vietnamu, ker se v LRK in Vietnamu uporabljajo enaki deli vžigalnikov in enake surovine.
Any adjustments due to lower local costs in Vietnam would result in an even larger share of Chinese value in the finished lighters.
Ob morebitnih prilagoditvah zaradi nižjih lokalnih stroškov v Vietnamu bi se delež kitajske vrednosti pri dokončanih vžigalnikih še povečal.
Insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the anti-dumping duty
Nezadosten ustrezen vzrok ali druga gospodarska upravičenost razen uvedbe protidampinške dajatve
The investigation did not bring to light any other due cause or economic justification for the assembly operations than the avoidance of the original measures on the product concerned.
S preiskavo ni bil ugotovljen noben drug ustrezen vzrok ali gospodarska upravičenost aktivnosti sestavljanja razen izogibanja prvotnim ukrepom v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom.
The Vietnamese producers have claimed that the cause for moving the production would be the lower labour costs in Vietnam, but the claim has not been substantiated.
Vietnamski proizvajalci so trdili, da so vzrok za selitev proizvodnje nižji stroški dela v Vietnamu, vendar te trditev ni bila utemeljena.
In any case, a general labour cost difference would not explain why the production in a specific sector (lighters) would move to Vietnam, while production in other sectors, including lighter parts, for example, continues in the PRC.
Splošna razlika v stroških dela v nobenem primeru ne bi pojasnila, zakaj je bila v Vietnam preseljena le proizvodnja v določenem sektorju (vžigalniki), medtem ko LRK še naprej ostaja proizvajalec v drugih sektorjih in tako na primer proizvaja dele vžigalnikov.
Injury or undermining of the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty
Škoda ali slabitev popravljalnega učinka protidampinške dajatve
The existence of injury having been addressed in the original Regulation, the scope of the current investigation included the assessment of whether the remedial effects of the duties in place are being undermined in terms of the prices and/or quantities of the like product.
Glede na to, da je bil obstoj škode obravnavan v prvotni uredbi, sedanja preiskava vključuje oceno, ali so popravljalni učinki veljavnih dajatev oslabljeni v smislu cen in/ali količin podobnega izdelka.
To assess whether the imported product under investigation had, in terms of quantities and prices, undermined the remedial effects of the original measures on imports of the product concerned, Eurostat Comext datase was used as the best data available concerning quantities and prices of imports from Vietnam.
Za oceno, ali je uvoženi izdelek v preiskavi v smislu količine in cene slabil popravljalne učinke prvotnih ukrepov za uvoz zadevnega izdelka, so bili kot najboljši dostopni podatki o količinah in cenah uvoza iz Vietnama uporabljeni podatki iz Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke Comext.
The prices so determined were compared to the injury elimination level established for Union producers in recital 63 of Regulation (EC) No 1006/95.
Tako določene cene so se primerjale s stopnjo, ki je bila določena za odpravo škode za proizvajalce Unije v uvodni izjavi 63 Uredbe (ES) št. 1006/95.
The increase of imports from Vietnam to the Union from 0,6 % of Union imports in 1998 to 80 % in 2008 (start of the IP) and to 84 % of Union imports in the RP (the end of the IP), see the table in paragraph 2.4, was considered to be significant in terms of quantities.
Povečanje uvoza iz Vietnama v Unijo z 0,6 % uvoza v Unijo leta 1998 na 80 % leta 2008 (začetek obdobja preiskave) in na 84 % uvoza v Unijo v obdobju poročanja (konec obdobja preiskave) – glej tabelo v odstavku 2.4 – se je štelo za pomembno v smislu količin.
In the same period, the imports from PRC into the Union decreased significantly, from 30 % to 10 % of share of all imports.
V istem obdobju se je uvoz iz LRK v Unijo znatno zmanjšal in sicer s 30 % na 10 % delež vsega uvoza.
The comparison of the injury elimination level as established in the original investigation and the weighted average export price for Vietnamese declared exports showed significant underselling.
Primerjava stopnje odprave škode, kot je bila določena v prvotni preiskavi, s tehtano povprečno izvozno ceno prijavljenega izvoza iz Vietnama je pokazala znatno nelojalno nižanje ciljnih cen.
It was therefore concluded that the remedial effects of the duty, as determined in the original Regulation are being undermined in terms of both quantities and prices.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da je popravljalni učinek dajatve, kot je določena v prvotni uredbi, oslabljen v smislu količine in cene.
Finally, in accordance with Article 13(1) and (2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether there was evidence of dumping by comparing the normal value previously established in the original investigation with the export prices from Vietnam.
Na koncu je Komisija v skladu s členom 13(1) in (2) osnovne uredbe preučila, ali obstajajo dokazi o dampingu, in sicer s primerjavo normalne vrednosti, ki je bila predhodno določena v prvotni preiskavi, z izvoznimi cenami iz Vietnama.
In the original investigation the normal value was established on the basis of prices in Brazil, which was found to be an appropriate market economy analogue country for the PRC for that investigation.
V prvotni preiskavi je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi cen v Braziliji, za katero je bilo v navedeni preiskavi ugotovljeno, da je za LRK ustrezna primerljiva država s tržnim gospodarstvom.
The export prices from Vietnam were based on the facts available, i.e. on the average export price of gas-fuelled, non-refillable pocket flint lighters during the RP as reported in Eurostat Comext database.
Izvozne cene iz Vietnama so temeljile na dostopnih dejstvih, tj. na povprečni izvozni ceni žepnih plinskih vžigalnikov na kresilni kamen, ki jih ni mogoče ponovno polniti, v obdobju poročanja po podatkih Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke Comext.
The use of the facts available was due to unreliable information from the Vietnamese producers concerning the product under investigation.
Dostopna dejstva so bila uporabljena zaradi nezanesljivosti informacij vietnamskih proizvajalcev glede izdelka v preiskavi.
Given that there was no reliable information obtained from the producers in Vietnam and the PRC, the adjustments had to be established on the basis of the best facts available.
Ker proizvajalci iz Vietnama in LRK niso predložili zanesljivih informacij, je bilo treba prilagoditve določiti na podlagi najboljših dostopnih dejstev.
Thus, the adjustments for these allowances were based on a percentage calculated as the proportion of the total transport, insurance and packing costs over the value of the sales transactions to the Union with CIF delivery terms provided by the cooperating Chinese exporting producers in the original investigation.
Tako so prilagoditve za te razlike temeljile na deležu, izračunanem kot delež skupnih stroškov prevoza, zavarovanja in pakiranja v vrednosti prodajnih transakcij v Uniji pod dobavnimi pogoji CIF, ki so jih predložili sodelujoči kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki v prvotni preiskavi.
In accordance with Article 2(11) and 2(12) of the basic Regulation, dumping was calculated by comparing the weighted average normal value as established in the original Regulation and the corresponding weighted average export prices for Vietnamese declared exports during this investigation’s RP according to the Comext database, 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 prijavljenega izvoza iz Vietnama v obdobju poročanja te preiskave po podatkovni zbirki Comext ter izražen kot delež cene CIF meja Unije brez plačane dajatve.
The comparison of the weighted average normal value and the weighted average export price, after the adjustments explained in recital 59 above, showed the existence of significant dumping.
Primerjava tehtane povprečne normalne vrednosti in tehtane povprečne izvozne cene je po prilagoditvah, pojasnjenih v uvodni izjavi 59 zgoraj, pokazala obstoj znatnega dampinga.
Comments to the disclosure
Pripombe po razkritju
Following the disclosure, a group of interested parties, comprised of Vietnamese producers and Union importers, even though admitting to not being directly concerned by the measures, commented on the findings of the investigation.
Po razkritju je skupina zainteresiranih strani, ki jo sestavljajo vietnamski proizvajalci in uvozniki iz Unije, predložila pripombe na ugotovitve preiskave, čeprav je ob tem priznala, da jih ukrepi neposredno ne zadevajo.
They again argued that any misleading information had not been provided intentionally, that the Commission had not found any positive evidence of circumvention and that there was no remedial effect to be achieved by retroactive imposition of the measures, also demonstrated by the non-prolongation of the original measures against the PRC.
Še enkrat so zatrdili, da morebitne zavajajoče informacije niso bile predložene namerno, da Komisija ni našla trdnih dokazov o izogibanju ukrepom in da z uvedbo ukrepov za nazaj ni mogoče doseči popravljalnega učinka, kar naj bi dokazovalo tudi to, da prvotni ukrepi proti LRK niso bili podaljšani.
According to these parties, the non-prolongation of the original measures against the PRC was based on findings concerning the same time-period as the conclusion that the circumvention practices undermine the remedial effects of the original measures.
Po navedbah teh strani prvotni ukrepi proti LRK niso bili podaljšani zaradi ugotovitev glede istega obdobja, na katero se nanaša sklep, da prakse izogibanja ukrepom slabijo popravljalne učinke prvotnih ukrepov.
Finally they also questioned the intended effect and what the Union interest would be in extending the measures which were terminated in December 2012.
Poleg tega so izrazili dvom glede nameravanega učinka podaljšanja ukrepov, ki so bili odpravljeni decembra 2012 in interesa Unije pri tem.
In their view, the extension of the measures would bring no benefit to the Union industry and would only penalise Union importers.
Po njihovem mnenju podaljšanje ukrepov ne bi prineslo koristi za industrijo Unijo in bi le kaznovalo uvoznike v Unijo.
Upon presentation and admittance of a valid request for an anti-circumvention investigation, the Commission has a legal obligation to fully investigate the matter and take appropriate action if justified.
Po predložitvi in sprejetju veljavne zahteve po preiskavi proti izogibanju ukrepom je Komisija pravno zavezana, da v celoti razišče zadevo in sprejme ustrezne ukrepe, če je to upravičeno.
In the case at hand it was found that all the conditions of Article 13 of the basic Regulation to determine that circumvention is taking place were fulfilled.
V zadevnem primeru je bilo ugotovljeno, so bili izpolnjeni vsi pogoji iz člena 13 osnovne uredbe za ugotovitev obstoja izogibanja ukrepom.
Consequently, the measures had to be extended in the appropriate manner to imports from Vietnam.
Zato je bilo treba ukrepe na ustrezen način razširiti na uvoz iz Vietnama.
When assessing whether circumvention practices undermine the remedial effects of the original measures, the Commission must base its analysis on the developments following the imposition of these measures and takes into consideration the findings from the original investigation on the basis of which the remedial effects have been determined.
Komisija mora pri ocenjevanju, ali izogibanje ukrepom slabi popravljalne učinke prvotnih ukrepov, svojo analizo opraviti glede na razvoj dogodkov po uvedbi teh ukrepov in upoštevati ugotovitve prvotne preiskave, na podlagi katerih so bili določeni popravljalni učinki.
By contrast, the assessment of the necessity to initiate an expiry review is determined on the basis of the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury in the future on the basis of findings relating to a different period of time.
Nasprotno pa je presoja nujnosti za začetek pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa določena glede na verjetnost nadaljevanja ali ponovitve dampinga in škode v prihodnje na podlagi ugotovitev v zvezi z drugim obdobjem.
Therefore, contrary to what the interested parties have alleged, the two findings do not concern the same time period.
Zato kljub zatrjevanju zainteresiranih strani ugotovitvi ne zadevata istega obdobja.
As regards the claim that only Union importers would be affected and that there would be no benefit to the Union industry, the Union interest for the imposition of the measures was confirmed in the original investigation.
Kar zadeva trditev, da bodo prizadeti samo uvozniki iz Unije in da ne bo nikakršne koristi za industrijo Unije, je bil interes Unije za uvedbo ukrepov potrjen v prvotni preiskavi.
