This clearly shows that the high capacity in the IP had obviously an impact on the cost of production, but its impact was not significant and cannot explain the high losses incurred in the IP, in particular, compared to the profits achieved in previous years.
Vsi uporabniki, ki so se odzvali, so proizvajalci solarnih modulov in/ali sončnih kolektorjev.
In addition, the capacity utilisation rate of the sampled Union producers went down compared to previous years but was still at the level of 65 % in the IP.
Trije uporabniki odločno zagovarjajo uvedbo protisubvencijskih dajatev, saj naj bi industrija Unije proizvajala bolj kakovostno solarno steklo, ki ga kitajske družbe ne morejo vedno zagotoviti.
Finally, in its analysis the Commission has also taken into account that the installed capacity can be adapted for the production of other types of glass, which fall outside the scope of this investigation.
Trije drugi uporabniki pa so uvedbi protisubvencijskih ukrepov nasprotovali.
Accordingly, also because of this element the Commission disagrees with the interested party that the high installed capacity is economically not viable,
Ti uporabniki predvidevajo, da bi uvedba protisubvencijskih dajatev negativno vplivala na njihovo dejavnost.
In view of the above, the Commission rejects the claims put forward by the parties and reiterates that the developments in consumption, capacity and capacity utilisation during the period considered, analysed both separately and cumulatively, are not such as to break the causal link found between the material injury suffered by the Union industry and the subsidised imports.
Pričakujejo, da zaradi slabega stanja industrije solarnih modulov povišanja cen ne bodo mogli prenesti na končne potrošnike.
Trends in solar modules
Na podlagi informacij, ki so jih predložili uporabniki, solarno steklo zajema le približno 6–8 % skupnih stroškov solarnih modulov.
According to the information at the Commission’s disposal [20], around 80-85 % of solar glass sales are made to solar modules producers (Crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and thin-film photovoltaic modules), and around 15-20 % of the sales are made to producers of solar thermal flat plate collectors producing hot water.
Solarno steklo torej prispeva le k omejenemu delu stroškov in končne vrednosti fotonapetostnih modulov.
Consequently, the trends observed in solar modules have an important impact on the consumption of solar glass.
Poleg tega je mogoče oceniti, da bi moral biti v primeru uvedbe protisubvencijskih dajatev za solarno steklo, uvoženo iz LRK, učinek na skupne stroške solarnih modulov manjši od 1 %.
After disclosure, two parties claimed that, in addition to the development in consumption of the product concerned, the injury suffered by the Union industry was also caused by the drop in consumption of solar modules and the losses suffered by this industry in the end of 2011/beginning of 2012.
To je predvsem posledica dejstva, da sodelujoči uporabniki nabavljajo velike količine solarnega stekla od proizvajalcev Unije.
The impact of the financial distress of the solar panels producers on the solar glass market allegedly started to appear in the end of 2011 and in 2012, due to the necessary time lag between the two events.
Čeprav bo morebitna uvedba protisubvencijskih dajatev najverjetneje nekoliko povišala vhodne cene za sončne module kot v obratnem scenariju brez dajatev, se ne pričakuje, da bi te dajatve bistveno negativno vplivale na stroške in končne cene industrije solarnih modulov v Uniji.
Consumption of solar modules increased constantly throughout the same period, i.e. 2009-2012, and even though there was a decrease in 2012, the level of consumption remained 221 % higher than in 2009 and 44 % higher than in 2010 [21].
Poleg tega imajo nekateri uporabniki že druge vire dobave, npr. Turčijo in Indijo, na kateri uvedba protisubvencijskih dajatev ne bi negativno vplivala.
In addition, it was established that while demand for modules in the Union was initially generated by financial support schemes, mainly feed-in-tariffs (FITs), it could not be concluded that the FITs cutbacks (at the end of 2011, beginning of 2012) had broken the causal link between subsidised imports and injury [22].
Tudi drugi uporabniki lahko preklopijo na druge vire dobave, bodisi iz tretjih držav bodisi od industrije Unije.
This was due to the fact that demand for solar modules remained relatively high over the same period 2009-2012.
Glede na navedeno je Komisija zavrgla argumente zoper uvedbo ukrepov, ki so jih predložili nekateri uporabniki.
Consequently, the level of consumption of solar modules, and as a result the demand of solar glass, remained high during the period considered.
Vidiki konkurence
Its slight decrease in 2012 cannot be regarded on its own as a factor such as to break the causal link established between the subsidised imports from the PRC and the material injury by the Union industry.
En uvoznik je trdil, da so bili nekateri proizvajalci Unije vključeni v svetovni kartel ravnega stekla (del katerega je solarno steklo) in jim je Evropska komisija leta 2007 naložila kazen, zato uporabljajo protisubvencijske ukrepe kot način za povrnitev izgub, ki so jih utrpeli zaradi kazni za kartel in izgube tržnega deleža v Uniji.
Similarly, since the demand for solar modules remained relatively high over the period 2009-2012 and the demand of solar glass increased by 65 % over the same period, the impact on solar glass consumption of the deterioration of the financial situation of solar modules producers in the end of the 2011/beginning of 2012 cannot be regarded on its own as a factor to be such as to break the causal link established between the subsidised imports of solar glass from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Poleg tega bodo imeli proizvajalci Unije, če bo dostop do trga Unije omejen s protisubvencijskimi dajatvami, močnejše spodbude za vstop v kartel ali drugo nekonkurenčno ravnanje v povezavi z izdelki s sposobnostjo manjšega finančnega vzvoda v Uniji, kot so izdelki za opremljanje domov.
In view of the above, the Commission confirms that the development of consumption of solar modules cannot be regarded on its own as a factor such as to break the causal link established between the subsidised imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Te argumente je treba zavrniti.
The investigation has established a causal link between the material injury suffered by the Union industry and the subsidised imports from the PRC.
Drugič, noben od vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije in noben od obstoječih proizvajalcev Unije z največjim obsegom prodaje ni bil del kartela.
The Commission analysed other possible causes of injury, such as imports from other third countries, export performance of the Union industry, changes in the patterns of consumption and of production capacity or the market situation of some of the users of the product concerned.
Tretjič, morebitna uvedba protisubvencijskih dajatev po pričakovanjih ne bo vplivala na konkurenčno obnašanje industrije Unije, saj na eni strani ne bo spreminjala strukture trga Unije, na drugi strani pa so družbe na splošno zavezane k izpolnjevanju veljavnih pravil o konkurenci na ravni Unije in nacionalni ravni, ne glede na to, ali bodo dajatve uvedene ali ne.
None of them, analysed both individually and cumulatively, were found to be such as to break the causal link established between the subsidised imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
En uvoznik je prav tako trdil, da bi uvedba dajatev negativno vplivala na trg Unije za protiodsevni premaz solarnega stekla.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the subsidised imports, it is concluded that the subsidised imports from the country concerned have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na tem trgu, ki ga je uvoznik opredelil kot povezani trg, domnevno prevladujejo proizvajalci Unije, zato bi uvedba ukrepov okrepila njihov položaj v škodo konkurenčnih ponudnikov protiodsevnega premaza.
Post IP several Union solar glass producers have publicly announced cessation of production operations which has inevitably shifted significant operating capacity to idle capacity.
Poleg tega je trdil, da so se uvozniki srečali s težavami pri sprejemanju naročil od proizvajalcev Unije ali pri izvajanju teh naročil v razumnem času in po razumnih cenah.
This further reinforces the causal link established above and demonstrates the devastating effect that subsidised imports have on the Union industry.
Del preiskave je trg za protiodsevni premaz in ne povezani trg.
F. UNION INTEREST
Preiskava je pokazala, da so proizvajalci Unije v OP na tem nišnem trgu ostali konkurenčni kljub sorazmerno višjim cenam, ki jih zaračunavajo, saj se na trgu njihovi prevlečeni proizvodi štejejo za kakovostnejše.
In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusion on injurious subsidy, it was clearly not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case.
Vendar ni bilo predloženega nobenega dokaza, da industrija Unije ne bi mogla zadostiti morebitnemu povečanemu povpraševanju po solarnemu steklu s protiodsevnim premazom.
The analysis of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers, raw materials suppliers and users of the product concerned.
Zato bi bilo treba ta argument zavrniti.
Interest of the Union industry
V zvezi s trditvami, da proizvajalci Unije niso hoteli izvajati naročil ali jih pravočasno izvesti po razumnih cenah, je treba poudariti, da vsak proizvajalec popolnoma sam izbere tržno strategijo, vendar tak proizvajalec ali proizvajalci ne smejo uživati posameznega ali skupnega prevladujočega položaja na zadevnem trgu.
The Union industry directly employed about 860 people in the IP in the production and sale of the like product.
Na trgu Unije je zadostna konkurenca za spremembo in/ali razširitev kroga dobaviteljev.
The investigation established that the Union industry has suffered material injury caused by the subsidised imports from the country concerned during the investigation period.
Zato bi bilo treba zavrniti tudi ta argument.
Some Union producers were already forced to close down their production facilities while some others have faced insolvency [23].
Sklep o interesu Unije
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration in the Union industry’s economic situation appears very likely.
Glede na navedeno je bilo sklenjeno, da je na podlagi ocene vseh različnih interesov kot celote v interesu industrije Unije, da se uvedejo dokončni ukrepi na uvoz solarnega stekla s poreklom iz LRK.
It is expected that the imposition of anti-subsidy duties will eliminate the trade-distorting effects of injurious subsidisation and restore effective competition on the Union market, allowing the Union industry to align the prices of the like product to reflect the costs of production thus improving its profitability.
G. IZRAVNALNI UKREPI
It can also be expected that the imposition of measures would enable the Union industry to regain at least part of the market share lost during the period considered, with a positive impact on its overall financial situation.
Glede na sklepe o subvencioniranju, škodi, vzročni zvezi in interesu Unije bi bilo treba uvesti dokončne izravnalne ukrepe, da se tako prepreči, da bi subvencionirani uvoz še naprej povzročal škodo industriji Unije.
Moreover, the Union industry should be able to have better access to capital and to further invest in R & D and innovation in the solar glass market.
Stopnja odprave škode
Finally, it is likely that the Union producers who were forced to cease production as a result of the pressure of the Chinese subsidised imports might restart their business activity.
Za določitev stopnje teh ukrepov so bile upoštevane ugotovljene subvencijske stopnje in višina dajatve, potrebne za odpravo škode, ki so jo utrpeli proizvajalci Unije, ne da bi bile pri tem presežene ugotovljene subvencijske stopnje.
Overall, under this scenario, not only the existing jobs would be secured, but there would also be a reasonable prospect for further production expansion and increase in employment.
Pri izračunu zneska dajatve, potrebnega za odpravo učinkov škodljivega subvencioniranja, se je štelo, da bi morali morebitni ukrepi industriji Unije omogočiti, da krije svoje stroške proizvodnje in ustvari dobiček pred obdavčitvijo, ki bi ga ta industrija od prodaje podobnega izdelka v Uniji lahko razumno ustvarila v običajnih konkurenčnih pogojih, tj. brez subvencioniranega uvoza.
Should measures not be imposed, further losses in market share are expected with a further deterioration of the Union industry’s profitability.
8,3-odstotna stopnja dobička od prodaje se šteje za ustrezni minimum, za katerega bi lahko industrija Unije pričakovala, da ga bo dosegla, če ne bi bilo škodljivega subvencioniranega uvoza.
This would be unsustainable in the short to medium-term.
Ta stopnja dobička temelji na povprečnem dobičku, ki so ga ustvarili vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije leta 2010, ko je bil uvoz zadevnega izdelka še vedno majhen in še ne bi mogel izkrivljati običajnih konkurenčnih pogojev.
As a consequence, in addition to the large number of Union producers that were already forced out of the market, other producers could be facing insolvency which would in the short to medium term lead to a likely disappearance of the Union industry with the consequent significant impact of the existing jobs.
Na podlagi tega je bila izračunana neškodljiva cena za industrijo Unije za podobni izdelek.
It is therefore concluded that the imposition of the anti-subsidy duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Neškodljiva cena je bila dobljena tako, da se je stroškom proizvodnje vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije iz OP prištela zgoraj navedena 8,3-odstotna stopnja prihodka.
For the two cooperating importers the major business activity consisted of trading the product concerned.
Kakršna koli razlika, ki izhaja iz te primerjave, je bila nato izražena kot odstotek tehtane povprečne uvozne vrednosti CIF.
Both of them had diversified sources of the product concerned, that is to say, they were not only sourcing from the PRC, but also from the Union and third countries.
Po razkritju je ena stran izpodbijala stopnjo dobička, ki se je uporabljala za ciljni dobiček.
An argument was put forward that the imposition of measures on the product concerned would negatively affect the importers’ business activity.
Trdila je, da bi morala Komisija upoštevati vse ostale dejavnike, ki so vplivali na dobičkonosnost v OP.
Firstly, the imposition of duties should not result in the elimination of all imports from the PRC.
Po njenem mnenju razumen ciljni dobiček ne bi smel biti višji od 5 %.
Secondly, although it can be expected that the imposition of measures may have a negative effect on the financial situation of the importers importing only or mainly from the PRC, in view of the possibility to source from third countries, the importers can be expected to be flexible and shift their sources of supply if deemed necessary.
Komisija zavrača to trditev iz naslednjih razlogov.
It is therefore concluded that the imposition of measures at the proposed level may have a certain negative impact on the situation of unrelated importers of the product concerned, but that its impact is mitigated by the fact that importers and traders can use other sources of supply, both from third countries and the Union industry, the latter having the capacity to increase its production, and in any case it would not outweigh the positive impact on other parties.
Uporabljeni ciljni dobiček ne temelji na oceni, ampak na dejanskem dobičku, ki ga je dosegla industrija Unije, preden je kitajski subvencionirani uvoz izkrivil konkurenco.
Interest of raw materials suppliers
Po mnenju Komisije je to razumen dobiček, prav tako pa je upoštevala, da razmere na trgu niso bile bistveno drugačne kot v OP, pri čemer je zanemarila učinek kitajskega subvencioniranega uvoza.
No raw materials supplier cooperated with the investigation.
Izjava strani, da je bila potrošnja leta 2010 veliko večja kot leta 2012, je vsebinsko napačna.
In the absence of data from such suppliers, there was no evidence that the imposition of measures would be against the interest of those parties.
Nazadnje je treba poudariti, da je predlagani 5-odstotni ciljni dobiček samovoljen, saj ne temelji na nobenih podatkih ali dejanskih izračunih, zato se zavrne.
Interest of users
Ukrepi
All users that responded are producers of solar modules and/or thermal collectors.
Na podlagi navedenega in v skladu s členom 15 osnovne uredbe bi bilo treba dokončne izravnalne ukrepe za uvoz solarnega stekla s poreklom iz LRK uvesti na ravni najnižjih ugotovljenih stopenj subvencije ali škode v skladu s pravilom nižje dajatve.
Three users are in favour of imposing anti-subsidy duties, arguing that the Union industry produces better quality solar glass which cannot always be supplied by Chinese companies.
V tem primeru se dajatev določi na ugotovljeno stopnjo subvencije.
By contrast, three other users were against the imposition of anti-subsidy measures.
Ob upoštevanju visoke stopnje sodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je bila dajatev, ki velja za „vse druge družbe“, določena na ravni najvišje dajatve, ki bo uvedena za vzorčene družbe ali družbe, ki sodelujejo v preiskavi.
Those users expect that the imposition of anti-subsidy duties would have a negative impact on their business.
Dajatev, ki velja za „vse druge družbe“, se bo uporabljala za družbe, ki v preiskavi niso sodelovale.
They expect not to be able to pass on the increase in prices to final consumers given the dire situation of the solar modules industry.
Za sodelujoče nevzorčene kitajske družbe iz Priloge je dokončna stopnja dajatve določena na stopnji tehtanega povprečja stopenj vzorčenih družb.
According to the information submitted by users, solar glass constitutes only around 6-8 % of the total costs of the solar modules.
Na podlagi navedenega so stopnje, po katerih se bodo uvedle take dajatve, določene, kot je navedeno spodaj:
Thus, solar glass constitutes only a limited part of the costs and of the final value of the photovoltaic modules.
Stopnja škode
In addition, it can be estimated that if anti-subsidy duties are imposed on solar glass imported from the PRC, the impact on the total costs of the solar modules should be less than 1 %.
Izravnalna dajatev
This is mainly due to the fact that cooperating users buy significant quantities of the solar glass from Union producers.
Druge sodelujoče družbe iz Priloge I
Accordingly, while a possible imposition of anti-subsidy duties will most probably slightly increase input prices for solar modules compared to the counterfactual scenario without duties, it is not expected to have a significant negative impact on the costs and on the final prices of the Union solar modules industry.
Vse druge družbe
In addition, some of the users already have other sources of supply such as Turkey and India which would not be negatively influenced by the imposition of anti-subsidy duties.
Zgoraj navedeni izravnalni ukrepi se določijo v obliki dajatev ad valorem, tj. sorazmerno z vrednostjo uvoza.
Other users can switch to other sources of supply as well, either from third countries or from the Union industry.
Stopnje izravnalnih dajatev za posamezne družbe, navedene v tej uredbi, so bile določene na podlagi ugotovitev sedanje preiskave.
In view of the above, the Commission rejected the arguments brought forward by some of the users against the imposition of measures.
Zato izražajo stanje, v katerem so bile družbe, izbrane v vzorec, med to preiskavo, pri čemer se povprečje stopenj dajatev, ki so jim naložene, uporablja za sodelujoče družbe, ki niso bile izbrane v vzorec.
Competition aspects
Te stopnje dajatev (v nasprotju z dajatvijo na ravni države, ki se uporablja za „vse druge družbe“) veljajo torej izključno za uvoz izdelkov s poreklom iz zadevne države, ki jih proizvajajo navedene družbe, torej navedene posebne pravne osebe.
One importer argued that since some Union producers participated in a world cartel of flat glass (solar glass is part of it) and were fined by the European Commission in 2007, they are using the anti-subsidy tool as a way of recuperating the losses they made on fines for the cartel and on losing market share in the Union.
Za uvožene izdelke, ki jih je proizvedla družba, ki v členu 1 ni posebej navedena, ter subjekti, ki so povezani z izrecno navedenimi družbami, teh stopenj ni mogoče izkoristiti, ampak zanje velja stopnja dajatve, ki se uporablja za „vse druge družbe“.
In addition, if the access to the Union market were to be restricted by means of anti-subsidy duties, there will be stronger incentives for the Union producers to enter into a cartel or other anti-competitive behaviour in respect of products with low volume leverage capabilities in the Union like home furnishing products.
Vsak zahtevek za uporabo teh individualnih stopenj izravnalne dajatve za posamezne družbe (npr. zaradi spremembe imena subjekta ali ustanovitve novih proizvodnih ali prodajnih obratov) je treba nemudoma vložiti pri Komisiji skupaj z vsemi ustreznimi informacijami, zlasti o vsaki spremembi dejavnosti družbe na področju proizvodnje ter domače in izvozne prodaje, ki je na primer povezana s to spremembo imena ali spremembo proizvodnih in prodajnih obratov.
These arguments should be rejected.
Uredba bo nato po potrebi ustrezno spremenjena s posodobitvijo seznama družb, upravičenih do individualnih stopenj dajatve.
First, the Commission observes that the cartel has ceased to function in 2007.
Za zagotovitev ustreznega izvajanja izravnalne dajatve je treba stopnjo preostale dajatve uporabljati ne le za nesodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike, ampak tudi za tiste proizvajalce, ki v OP niso izvažali v Unijo, razen, če so bili vključeni v preiskavo.
Therefore, the effects of the cartel in the past had no impact on the industry during the period considered.
Po razkritju je pritožnik trdil, da protidampinške in izravnalne dajatve ad valorem niso bile učinkovite, in od Komisije zahteval uvedbo ukrepov v obliki najnižje uvozne cene.
Second, none of the sampled Union producers was part of the cartel and none of the current Union producers with highest sales volume.
Najnižjo uvozno ceno je predlagalo tudi več uporabnikov.
Third, the possible imposition of anti-subsidy duties is not expected to have any impact on the competitive behaviour of the Union industry since, on the one hand, it will not change the structure of the Union market and, on the other hand, companies have a general duty to comply with the applicable Union and national competition rules, irrespective of whether duties are imposed or not.
Razlogi, ki so jih predložile strani, in razlogi, iz katerih je Komisija te zahtevke zavrnila, so navedeni v uvodnih izjavah 144 do 168 Izvedbene uredbe Komisije (EU) št. 470/2014 [24] („uredba o dokončnih protidampinških dajatvah“).
It was also argued by an importer that the imposition of duties would have a negative impact on the Union market of antireflective coating of solar glass.
Po razkritju so trije vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki in družba Henan Yuhua ponudili cenovne zaveze v obliki najnižjih uvoznih cen.
Furthermore, it was stated that importers faced difficulties in obtaining orders from the Union producers or in having such orders delivered within a reasonable period of time and at reasonable prices.
Ukrepi, predvideni s to uredbo, so v skladu z mnenjem Odbora, ustanovljenim s členom 25(1) osnovne uredbe –
The market of anti-reflective coating is part of the investigation and not a related market.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJO UREDBO:
The investigation showed that indeed Union producers during the IP still remained competitive on this niche market despite the relatively higher prices they charge since the market considers their coated products as having a quality advantage.
