Council Regulations (EC) No 1338/2002 and (EC) No 1339/2002 were amended by Council Regulation (EC) No 123/2006 [8] accordingly.
Svet je z Uredbo (ES) št. 1010/2008 [10] uvedel dokončne izravnalne dajatve na uvoz sulfanilne kisline s poreklom iz Indije in spremenil stopnjo protidampinških dajatev na uvoz sulfanilne kisline iz Indije po pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa in vmesnem pregledu.
By Regulation (EC) No 1000/2008 [9], the Council imposed anti-dumping duties on imports of sulphanilic acid originating in the PRC and India following an expiry review of the measures.
Zahtevek za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa
By Regulation (EC) No 1010/2008 [10], the Council imposed definitive countervailing duties on imports of sulphanilic acid originating in India and amended the level of the anti-dumping duties on Indian imports of sulphanilic acid following an expiry and an interim review.
Po objavi obvestila o bližnjem izteku [11] veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov za uvoz iz LRK in Indije je Komisija 1. julija 2013 prejela zahtevek za začetek pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepov v skladu s členom 11(2) Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1225/2009.
Request for an expiry review
Zahtevek je vložila družba CUF – Quimicos Industriais („vložnik“), ki je edini proizvajalec sulfanilne kisline v Uniji in tako predstavlja 100 % proizvodnje te kisline Uniji.
Following the publication of a notice of impending expiry [11] of the anti-dumping measures in force on imports from the PRC and India, the Commission received on 1 July 2013 a request for the initiation of an expiry review of these measures pursuant to Article 11(2) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community (‘the basic Regulation’).
Zahtevek je bil utemeljen s tem, da bi iztek ukrepov verjetno povzročil nadaljevanje dampinga in ponovitev škode za industrijo Unije.
The request was lodged by CUF — Quimicos Industriais (‘the applicant’ or ‘CUF’) the sole producer of sulphanilic acid in the Union, thus representing 100 % of the Union production.
Začetek pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa
The request was based on the grounds that the expiry of the measures would be likely to result in a continuation of dumping and recurrence of injury to the Union industry.
Komisija je po posvetovanju s svetovalnim odborom ugotovila, da obstajajo zadostni dokazi za začetek pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa in je 16. oktobra 2013 z obvestilom, objavljenim v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [12] („obvestilo o začetku“), napovedala pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa v skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe.
Initiation of an expiry review
Vzporedna preiskava
Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient evidence existed for the initiation of an expiry review, the Commission announced on 16 October 2013, by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union [12] (‘the Notice of Initiation’), the initiation of an expiry review pursuant to Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation.
Z obvestilom o začetku, objavljenem v Uradnem listu Evropske unije 16. oktobra 2013 [13], je Komisija začela tudi pregled zaradi izteka ukrepov v skladu s členom 18 Uredbe (ES) št. 597/2009 [14], in sicer glede veljavnih izravnalnih ukrepov za uvoz sulfanilne kisline s poreklom iz Indije.
Parallel investigation
Preiskava
By Notice of Initiation published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 16 October 2013 [13] the Commission also initiated an expiry review investigation pursuant to Article 18 of Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community [14] on the countervailing measures in force on imports of sulphanilic acid originating in India.
Obdobje preiskave v zvezi s pregledom in obravnavano obdobje
Investigation
Preiskava v zvezi z nadaljevanjem ali ponovitvijo dampinga je zajemala obdobje od 1. oktobra 2012 do 30. septembra 2013 („obdobje preiskave v zvezi s pregledom“ ali „OPP“).
Review investigation period and period considered
Proučitev gibanj, pomembnih za oceno verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve škode, je zajemalo obdobje od 1. januarja 2010 do konca obdobja preiskave v zvezi s pregledom, tj. 30. septembra 2013 („obravnavano obdobje“).
The investigation of a continuation or recurrence of dumping covered the period from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013 (‘the review investigation period’ or ‘RIP’).
Zadevne stranke
The examination of the trends relevant for the assessment of the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of injury covered the period from 1 January 2010 to the end of the review investigation period, 30 September 2013 (‘the period considered’).
Komisija je o začetku pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa uradno obvestila vložnika, proizvajalce izvoznike v LRK in Indiji, uvoznike, uporabnike, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter predstavnike držav izvoznic.
Parties concerned
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da pisno izrazijo svoja stališča in zaprosijo za zaslišanje v roku, določenem v obvestilu o začetku.
The Commission officially advised the applicant, the exporting producers in the PRC and in India, the importers, the users known to be concerned, and the representatives of the exporting countries of the initiation of the expiry review.
Edinemu proizvajalcu Unije, ki je kot edina zainteresirana stran zaprosil za zaslišanje, je bilo zaslišanje odobreno.
The interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the Notice of Initiation.
Vzorčenje
The sole Union producer, being the only interested party who so requested, was granted a hearing.
Zaradi očitnega velikega števila proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz Indije in LRK ter nepovezanih uvoznikov iz Unije je bilo v obvestilu o začetku predvideno vzorčenje v skladu s členom 17 osnovne uredbe.
Sampling
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in v tem primeru izbrala vzorec, so bile navedene strani pozvane, naj se v 15 dneh po začetku pregleda javijo Komisiji in ji predložijo zahtevane informacije iz obvestila o začetku.
In view of the apparent large number of exporting producers in India and the PRC and of unrelated importers in the Union, sampling was envisaged in the Notice of Initiation in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je prejela izpolnjene obrazce za vzorčenje od dveh indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov in od nobenega kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika.
In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling would be necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the above parties were requested to make themselves known to the Commission within 15 days of the initiation of the review and to provide the Commission with the information requested in the Notice of Initiation.
Zato vzorčenje ni bilo uporabljeno.
The Commission received replies to the sampling form from two Indian exporting producers and no replies from Chinese exporting producers.
Eden od nepovezanih uvoznikov je odgovoril na obrazec za vzorčenje, vendar ni uvažal zadevnega izdelka iz zadevnih držav in ni predložil izpolnjenega vprašalnika.
Therefore, no sampling was applied.
Ker obstaja samo en proizvajalec Unije, se vzorčenje za proizvajalce Unije ni uporabilo.
One unrelated importer replied to the sampling form however it did not import the product concerned from the countries concerned and it did not provide a questionnaire reply.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za ugotovitev verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve dampinga in posledične škode ter za ugotovitev interesa Unije.
Since there is only one Union producer, sampling was not applied for the Union producers.
Komisija je poslala vprašalnike edinemu proizvajalcu Unije, dvema proizvajalcema izvoznikoma v Indiji ter znanim uvoznikom in uporabnikom v Uniji.
The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for a determination of the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping and injury and for a determination of the Union interest.
Samo eden od dveh indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov (Kokan Synthetics & Chemicals Pvt.
The Commission sent questionnaires to the sole Union producer, to the two exporting producers in India, to known importers and to Union users.
Ltd) je predložil izpolnjen vprašalnik.
Out of two Indian exporting producers only one (Kokan Synthetics & Chemicals Pvt. Ltd) submitted a complete reply.
Ta indijski proizvajalec je predstavljal znaten del celotnega izvoza iz Indije v Unijo v OPP.
This Indian producer represented a major part of the total Indian exports to the Union during the review investigation period.

B. ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Zadevni izdelek je sulfanilna kislina, ki se trenutno uvršča pod oznako KN ex29214200 (oznaka TARIC 2921420060).
The product concerned is sulphanilic acid currently classifiable within CN code ex29214200 (TARIC code 2921420060).
Poleg tega je kislina očiščene kakovosti včasih na trgu prisotna v obliki soli sulfanilne kisline.
In addition, the purified grade is sometimes commercialised in the form of a salt of sulphanilic acid.
Opažena je bila tudi omejena uporaba v farmacevtski industriji.
Sulphanilic acid is used as a raw material in the production of optical brighteners, concrete additives, food colorants and speciality dyes.
Čeprav ni sporno, da imata obe kakovosti enake osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti in se zato štejeta za en sam izdelek, je treba opozoriti, da je preiskava potrdila, da je v praksi zamenljivost omejena.
Limited use by the pharmaceutical industry was noted as well.
Predvsem pa lahko uporabniki, ki uporabljajo sulfanilno kislino prečiščene kakovosti, uporabljajo to kislino tehnične kakovosti samo, če jo lahko sami dodatno prečistijo.
Though it is not contested that both grades have the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and therefore deemed to be one single product, it is important to note that the investigation showed that in practical terms inter-changeability is limited.
Uporabniki, ki potrebujejo ali raje uporabljajo sulfanilno kislino tehnične kakovosti, bi načeloma lahko uporabljali prečiščeno kakovost, vendar to zaradi znatne razlike v ceni (20–25 %) ni ekonomsko izvedljiva rešitev.
In particular users who rely on purified grade sulphanilic acid could only use technical grade in case they could further purify it themselves.
Sulfanilna kislina je čist izdelek, njene osnovne fizikalne, kemijske in tehnične lastnosti pa so enake ne glede na državo porekla.
Those users who need or prefer technical grade sulphanilic acid could in theory use purified grade, however due to the price difference (20 %-25 %) this is economically not a viable solution.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imajo izdelki, ki jih proizvajajo in prodajo proizvajalci izvozniki v zadevnih državah na domačem trgu in v tretjih državah, ter izdelki, ki jih proizvajalec Unije proizvaja in prodaja na trgu Unije, enake osnovne fizikalne in kemične lastnosti in v glavnem enako uporabo ter se zato štejejo za podobne izdelke v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
Sulphanilic acid is a pure commodity product and its basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics are identical whatever the country of origin.
C. VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA ALI PONOVNEGA POJAVA DAMPINGA
The product concerned and the products manufactured and sold by the exporting producers in the countries concerned on their domestic market and to third countries, as well as those manufactured and sold by the Union producer on the Union market have thus been found to have the same basic physical and chemical characteristics and essentially the same uses, and are therefore considered to be like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je Komisija preučila, ali je damping trenutno prisoten in ali obstaja verjetnost, da se bo nadaljeval ali ponovno pojavil zaradi morebitnega izteka veljavnih ukrepov za uvoz iz LRK in Indije.
C. LIKELIHOOD OF A CONTINUATION OR RECURRENCE OF DUMPING
Uvodne ugotovitve
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether dumping was currently taking place and whether dumping was likely to continue or recur upon a possible expiry of the measures in force on imports from the PRC and India.
LRK
Preliminary remarks
Na začetku pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa je Komisija vzpostavila stik z 39 znanimi kitajskimi proizvajalci izvozniki in kitajskimi organi.
The PRC
Noben od teh proizvajalcev ni bil pripravljen sodelovati.
Upon initiation of the expiry review, the Commission contacted 39 known Chinese exporting producers and the Chinese authorities.
Komisija je kitajske organe in zadevne proizvajalce izvoznike obvestila, da namerava uporabiti najboljša dostopna dejstva za svoje ugotovitve na podlagi člena 18 osnovne uredbe.
None of those producers came forward and cooperated.
Stranke v zvezi s tem niso predložile nobenih pripomb.
The Commission informed the Chinese authorities and the exporting producers concerned of its intention to use best facts available for its findings on the basis of Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Zato je bilo treba ugotovitve glede dampinga in verjetnosti ponovitve dampinga osnovati na razpoložljivih dejstvih, tj. informacijah, ki jih je predložil vložnik, zlasti pa na informacijah iz zahtevka za pregled ter podatkih Eurostata.
The parties did not submit any comment in that respect.
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom so bile v Unijo iz LRK uvožene le majhne količine zadevnega izdelka.
Consequently, findings on dumping and the likelihood of recurrence of dumping had to be based on facts available, i.e. information submitted by the applicant, in particular the information included in the review request, and Eurostat data.
Indija
Only a minor quantity of the product concerned was imported from the PRC into the Union during the review investigation period.
Po začetku pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa je Komisija vzpostavila stik s 25 znanimi indijskimi proizvajalci izvozniki, od katerih je le eden, družba Kokan, odgovoril na vprašalnik in sodeloval v preiskavi.
India
Ta družba je predstavljala večino indijskega izvoza v Unijo v OPP.
Upon initiation of the expiry review, the Commission contacted 25 known Indian exporting producers, of which only one, namely Kokan, replied to the questionnaire and cooperated in the investigation.
Ta proizvajalec izvoznik je v obravnavanem obdobju deloval v skladu z cenovno zavezo, ki jo je sprejela Komisija.
The company was representing the majority of Indian exports to the Union during the review investigation period.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bil sporazum spoštovan.
During the period considered, that exporting producer operated under a price undertaking accepted by the Commission, which was found to have been respected.
Damping
Dumping
Primerljiva država
Analogue country
V skladu z določbami člena 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi cene ali konstruirane vrednosti, pridobljene v ustrezni tretji državi s tržnim gospodarstvom („primerljiva država“).
In accordance with the provisions of Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, normal value was determined on the basis of the price or constructed value obtained in an appropriate market economy third country ('the analogue country').
V prvotni preiskavi je bila Indija uporabljena kot primerljiva država za določitev normalne vrednosti v zvezi z LRK.
In the original investigation, India was used as the analogue country for the purposes of establishing the normal value with regard to the PRC.
Obvestilo o začetku je navajalo Indijo kot primerljivo državo, zainteresirane strani pa so bile pozvane, da predložijo pripombe glede tega.
The Notice of Initiation indicated India as an analogue country and interested parties were invited to comment on the choice.
Prejeta ni bila nobena pripomba in nič ni kazalo na to, da Indija ni več ustrezna primerljiva država.
No comments were received and there were no indications that India was no longer an appropriate choice.
Industrija Unije je v zahtevku za pregled predlagala ZDA kot primerljivo državo, vendar je bil predlog zavrnjen, ker v ZDA obstaja samo en proizvajalec, ameriški trg pa že več kot 20 let varujejo protidampinške in izravnalne dajatve na uvoz sulfanilne kisline iz LRK in Indije.
The Union industry proposed the USA as analogue country in their request for review, however due to the facts that there is only one single producer in the USA and that the market in the USA is protected by anti-dumping and countervailing duties on imports of sulphanilic acid from China and India for over 20 years, this proposal was rejected.
Zato je bila Indija izbrana kot primerljiva država tudi v okviru te preiskave.
Therefore, India was selected as an analogue country in this investigation, too.
Zato so bili uporabljeni podatki sodelujočega indijskega proizvajalca izvoznika.
The data of the cooperating Indian exporting producer were therefore used.
Normalna vrednost
Normal value
V skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi podatkov sodelujočega proizvajalca v primerljivi državi, tj. družbe Kokan.
Pursuant to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, normal value was established on the basis of the data of the cooperating producer in the analogue country, namely Kokan.
Kot osnova za določitev normalne vrednosti se je uporabila domača prodaja (glej uvodne izjave 42–47).
Domestic sales were used as a basis to determine normal value (see recitals (42)-(47)).
Izvozna cena
Export price
Ker kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso sodelovali in zato ni bilo na voljo specifičnih podatkov o kitajskih cenah, je bila izvozna cena določena na podlagi dostopnih dejstev v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe, v ta namen pa so bili uporabljeni tudi statistični viri (Eurostat).
In view of the lack of cooperation from the Chinese exporting producers and thus the absence of specific information on Chinese prices, the export price was determined on the basis of facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation and to that end statistical sources (Eurostat) were used.
Šteje se, da je ta vir informacij blizu dejanske cene, ki jo kitajski izvozniki zaračunajo strankam v Uniji.
It is considered that this source of information is close to the actual prices charged by Chinese exporters to Union customers.
Primerjava
Comparison
Primerjava med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno je bila izvedena na podlagi franko tovarna.
The comparison between normal value and export price was made on an ex-works basis.
V skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe je bil po potrebi izveden ustrezen popravek izvozne cene v obliki prilagoditev.
In accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation, due allowance to the export price in the form of adjustments was made where necessary.
Da bi se določila izvozna cena na ravni franko tovarna in na podlagi informacij, predloženih v zahtevku za pregled, je Komisija prilagodila cene CIF na podlagi podatkov Eurostata za prevoz, zavarovanje, manipulativne stroške in stroške kredita.
In order to express the export price at ex-works level, and on the basis of information submitted in the review request, the Commission adjusted the CIF price based on Eurostat for freight, insurance, handling and credit costs.
Te prilagoditve znašajo 5 % do 10 % cene CIF.
These adjustments represented between 5 % to 10 % of the CIF price.
V skladu s členom 2(11) osnovne uredbe je bila stopnja dampinga določena na podlagi primerjave tehtane povprečne normalne vrednosti s tehtano povprečno izvozno ceno.
In accordance with Article 2(11) of the basic Regulation, the dumping margin was established on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average normal value with the weighted average export price.
Ker kitajski izvozniki niso želeli sodelovati, ni bilo na voljo nobenih podatkov o naboru uvoženih izdelkov.
Given the lack of cooperation from Chinese exporters there is no information available concerning the import product mix.
Čeprav ni informacij o količini uvoza sulfanilne kisline prečiščene kakovosti in sulfanilne kisline tehnične kakovosti, je obstajalo mnenje, da so bile uvozne cene Eurostata na ravni, ki v primerjavi z normalnimi vrednostmi primerljive države niso kazale na obstoj dampinga, tudi če bi bil celoten uvoz v obliki sulfanilne kisline prečiščene kakovosti, ki je v povprečju 20 % dražja od sulfanilne kisline tehnične kakovosti.
In the absence of information on the quantities of imports of purified and technical sulphanilic acid, it was nevertheless considered that even if one presumes that all the imports were of purified grade sulphanilic acid, which is on average 20 % more expensive than the technical grade, the Eurostat import prices were at a level that, compared to the normal values of the analogue country, did not show the existence of dumping.
Poleg tega, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 28, je bil obseg uvoza iz Kitajske v OPP zelo majhen.
Moreover, as mentioned in recital (28), the import volumes from China were very low during the RIP.
Na splošno je v zadevnih industrijah sprejeto, da imajo ad hoc pošiljke majhnih količin sulfanilne kisline bistveno višje cene na enoto kot redna naročila večjih količin, kar lahko razloži visoko raven uvoznih cen v poročilu Eurostata.
It is generally accepted in the industries concerned that small quantity, ad-hoc shipments of sulphanilic acid have considerably higher unit prices than regular orders of bigger quantities, which may explain the high import price level reported by Eurostat.
Čeprav je bil na podlagi dostopnih podatkov ugotovljen negativni damping, tak sklep ne pomeni veliko zaradi majhnih uvoženih količin in ker ni informacij o uvoženem naboru izdelkov, kar je pomembno zaradi znatne razlike v ceni med prečiščenim izdelkom in izdelkom tehnične kakovosti.
Therefore, although negative dumping follows from the available figures, such conclusion may be of limited relevance due to the low imported quantities and the absence of information regarding the imported product mix, which is important due to the significant price difference between the purified and the technical grades.
Domača prodaja edinega sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika zadevnega izdelka je bila opravljena v reprezentativnih količinah in v običajnem poteku trgovanja v smislu člena 2(4) osnovne uredbe.
Domestic sales by the sole cooperating exporting producer of each type of the product concerned were sold in representative quantities and were made in the ordinary course of trade within the meaning of Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation.
Za vsako vrsto izdelka je bil določen delež dobičkonosne prodaje neodvisnim strankam na domačem trgu v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
For each product type, the proportion of profitable sales to independent customers on the domestic market during the review investigation period was established.
Vsa domača prodaja je bila izvedena po neto prodajni ceni, ki je bila enaka ali višja od izračunanih stroškov proizvodnje, tako da so dobičkonosne domače prodaje predstavljale več kot 80 % celotnega obsega prodaje posamezne vrste izdelka.
