This is allegedly the only factor which appeared to drop for the first time in 2012 and to which the injury can be reasonably linked, while the Chinese imports started already in 2011 at prices comparable to those in 2012.
Vendar to očitno ne drži.
After definitive disclosure, the same party reiterated its claim.
Ravno nasprotno, v OP sta se tako obseg kot tržni delež kitajskega uvoza znatno povečala.
Indeed, in 2012 consumption dropped in comparison with the previous years.
Zato Komisija zavrača to trditev in potrjuje sklepe iz uvodnih izjav 141 in 142 začasne uredbe.
However, the Commission’s analysis runs from the start of the period considered in 2009 to the end of the IP and in this period Union consumption increased in overall by 65 %.
Komisija v zvezi s proizvodno zmogljivostjo industrije Unije iz preglednice 4 začasne uredbe meni, da se je proizvodna zmogljivost do leta 2011 jasno povečevala v skladu s povečanjem potrošnje Unije.
During the period considered the market share of the Union industry constantly and considerably decreased, that is to say by 25,7 % in overall, while the market share of the Chinese imports increased by 321 %.
Komisija je ugotovila tudi, da je bil glavni razlog za 12,5-odstotno povečanje proizvodne zmogljivosti v obdobju med letom 2011 in koncem OP vstop nove družbe na trg solarnega stekla, proizvodna zmogljivost ostalih družb na trgu pa se je v istem obdobju malo zmanjšala.
The increase of Chinese imports was 596 % during the period considered.
Komisija zato meni, da je na splošno gibanje v razvoju zmogljivosti industrije Unije sledilo razvoju potrošnje Unije.
In addition, in the IP the Union consumption was still at a comparable level as in 2010, while, as indicated in table 10 of the provisional Regulation, 2010 was the year when the Union industry achieved a reasonable profit.
Na podlagi tega po mnenju Komisije vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije zaradi visoke proizvodne zmogljivosti industrije Unije, ki je bila visoka že na začetku obravnavanega obdobja in je visoka ostala tudi v OP, ni bila prekinjena.
Therefore, the drop in the Union consumption during the IP cannot, in itself, have led to the losses suffered by the Union industry in the IP.
Več strani je po dokončnem razkritju trdilo, da Komisija kot pomembnega vzroka za škodo ni upoštevala domnevne presežne zmogljivosti.
In addition, the Union industry’s market share dropped by 26,6 % between 2010 and 2012, while the market share of the Chinese imports increased by 318 % during the same period.
Povečanje zmogljivosti v obravnavanem obdobju zaradi povečanja potrošnje naj ne bi bilo upravičeno, saj je bila proizvodna zmogljivost industrije Unije vedno precej večja od potrošnje, po njihovem mnenju pa to ni bilo gospodarsko upravičeno.
Finally, if the drop in consumption during the IP should have inflicted the injury suffered by the Union industry, then the drop should have also affected the Chinese imports.
Ena stran je nadalje trdila, da je vstop novega udeleženca na trg med letom 2011 in koncem OP prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, saj se je povečala konkurenca na domačem trgu.
However, this was clearly not the case.
Trdila je tudi, da so vedno manjša potrošnja Unije, vedno večja proizvodna zmogljivost in padec uvoza skupaj pripomogli k nizki stopnji izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti.
On the contrary, during the IP the Chinese imports significantly increased both in volume and in market share.
Zaradi te nizke stopnje izkoriščenosti so bili stalni stroški visoki, kar pa je po njenem mnenju močno vplivalo na industrijo solarnega stekla Unije.
Consequently, the Commission rejects this claim and confirms the conclusions reached in recitals 141 and 142 of the provisional Regulation.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je bila v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju stopnja zmogljivosti celotne industrije Unije vedno višja od skupne potrošnje Unije.
Regarding the production capacity of the Union industry contained in Table 4 of the provisional Regulation, the Commission is of the view that its increase clearly followed the trend in the increase of Union consumption up until 2011.
Kljub temu so imele vzorčene družbe industrije Unije v dveh letih pred OP dobiček, v OP pa so utrpele znatne izgube v višini 14,5 %.
The Commission also established that the main reason for the increase by 12,5 % of the production capacity between 2011 and end of the IP was the entry into the solar glass market of one company, whereas the production capacity of all other companies on the market slightly decreased during the same period.
Poleg tega se je zmogljivost vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije v obdobju 2010–2011 povečala le za 4 %, v obdobju med letom 2011 in OP pa za 2,6 %, kar skupaj v obdobju med letom 2010 in OP znaša skromnih 6,7 %.
Consequently, the Commission is of the view that, in overall, the trend in the Union industry’s capacity development followed the development of Union consumption.
Razlika med potrošnjo in zmogljivostjo je bila prisotna v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju in kljub manjšemu povečanju v OP ne more pojasniti velikih izgub, ki so jih vzorčene družbe utrpele v OP.
The Commission thus considers that the high production capacity of the Union industry, which was already high at the start of the period considered and which remained high during the IP, cannot break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Komisija zato zavrača trditev, da stopnja zmogljivosti industrije Unije ni gospodarsko upravičena.
After definitive disclosure, several parties argued that the Commission failed to take into account the alleged overcapacity as an important cause of injury.
Komisija glede trditve, da je novi udeleženec na trgu leta 2012 prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, ugotavlja, da je ta novi akter v OP sicer imel visoko zmogljivost, a je imel tudi zelo omejeno proizvodnjo in prodajo, in sicer okrog 2 % skupne prodaje EU.
During the period considered the increase in capacity was allegedly not justified by the increase in consumption as the Union industry experienced a constant huge gap between production capacity and consumption which is, in their opinion, not economically viable.
Zato je njegov vstop na trg komaj kaj vplival na uspešnost industrije Unije kot celote, je pa precej povečal številke glede njene zmogljivosti in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti.
One party further claimed that the fact that there was a new entrant on the market between 2011 and the end of the IP contributed to the injury suffered as it increased domestic competition.
Brez upoštevanja podatkov o tej družbi se je zmogljivost ostalih proizvajalcev Unije v obdobju 2011–2012 dejansko zmanjšala.
It was also claimed that the decreasing Union consumption, the increasing production capacity, combined with a drop in export sales, resulted in a low capacity utilisation rate.
Poleg tega preiskava ni potrdila, da stalni stroški močno vplivajo na industrijo solarnega stekla.
This low utilisation rate caused high fixed costs, which, in its opinion, severely impacted the Union solar glass industry.
Povprečni stalni stroški vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije so bili v razponu 25–35 % skupnih stroškov proizvodnje v OP.
The Commission observes that the level of capacity of the whole Union industry has constantly been higher than the total Union consumption during the whole period considered.
V letih 2011 in 2010 je bil odstotek stalnih stroškov nekoliko nižji, a še vedno v tem razponu.
Nevertheless, this has not prevented the sampled Union industry companies to achieve profits during the two years prior to the IP, while they incurred significant losses of 14,5 % only in the IP.
Iz tega je razvidno, da je visoka zmogljivost v OP očitno vplivala na stroške proizvodnje, vendar ta učinek ni bil velik in, zlasti ob primerjavi z dobičkom v preteklih letih, ne more pojasniti visokih izgub v OP.
In addition, the capacity of the sampled Union producers increased only by 4 % between 2010 and 2011 and by 2,6 % between 2011 and the IP, resulting in a modest overall increase by 6,7 % between 2010 and the IP.
Poleg tega se je stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije v primerjavi s preteklimi leti zmanjšala, je pa bila v OP še vedno 65-odstotna.
Consequently, the difference between the consumption and the capacity existed during the whole period considered and, even though slightly higher in the IP, cannot explain the huge losses incurred by the sampled companies during the IP.
Komisija je v svoji analizi upoštevala tudi, da se lahko obstoječa zmogljivost prilagodi za proizvodnjo drugih vrst stekla, ki ne sodijo v to preiskavo.
As a result, the Commission rejects the claim that the Union industry’s level of capacity is not economically viable.
Komisija se tudi zato ne strinja z zainteresirano stranjo, da visoka obstoječa zmogljivost ni gospodarsko upravičena.
Regarding the argument that the new entrant in 2012 contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry, the Commission observes that this new entrant, even though it had installed a high capacity, had very limited production and sales volumes, in the range of 2 % of total EU sales, during the IP.
Komisija ob upoštevanju navedenega zavrača trditve strani in ponovno navaja, da potrošnja, zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti v obravnavanem obdobju, analizirane posamezno in skupaj, niso takšne, da bi prekinile ugotovljeno vzročno zvezo med znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in dampinškim uvozom.
As a result, its entry had hardly an impact on the performance of the Union industry as a whole, except that it significantly inflated the latter’s capacity and capacity utilisation data.
Gibanja na področju solarnih modulov
Indeed, without this company’s data, the capacity of all other Union producers actually decreased between 2011 and 2012.
Ena stran je te trditve po dokončnem razkritju ponovila.
In addition, the investigation did not confirm that the solar glass industry is severely impacted by fixed costs.
Komisija je v uvodni izjavi 143 začasne uredbe dejansko ugotovila, da gibanja na področju solarnih modulov bistveno vplivajo na potrošnjo solarnega stekla, saj se 80–85 % solarnega stekla proda proizvajalcem solarnih modulov (fotonapetostni moduli in tankoslojni fotonapetostni moduli iz kristalnega silicija).
In fact, the average fixed costs of the sampled Union producers were in the range of 25 %-35 % of the total costs of production during the IP.
Komisija je ob upoštevanju navedenega sklenila, da zmanjšanja potrošnje solarnih modulov leta 2012 samega po sebi ni mogoče šteti za dejavnik, ki bi lahko prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom solarnega stekla iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
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.
Ker ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, se sklep iz uvodne izjave 144 začasne uredbe potrdi.
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.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
Accordingly, also because of this element the Commission disagrees with the interested party that the high installed capacity is economically not viable.
Poleg tega povečan obseg dampinškega uvoza jasno časovno sovpada s poslabšanjem položaja industrije Unije.
In view of the above, the Commission rejects the claims put forward by the party 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 dumped imports.
Dampinški uvoz je neposredno konkuriral proizvodnji industrije Unije, zato je industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju izgubila dobičkonosnost in tržni delež.
Trends in solar modules
Drugi morebitni vzroki za škodo so bili analizirani posamezno in skupaj, pri čemer je bilo ugotovljeno, da noben od njih ni takšen, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
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.
Predloženi niso bili nobeni novi dokazi, na podlagi katerih bi se spremenil ta sklep in ker v zvezi s sklepom o vzročni zvezi ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, Komisija potrjuje uvodni izjavi 145 in 146 začasne uredbe.
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.
F. INTERES UNIJE
The same arguments were repeated by one party following definitive disclosure.
Interes industrije Unije
In recital 143 of the provisional Regulation the Commission indeed found that the trends observed in solar modules have an important impact on the consumption of solar glass as 80-85 % of the solar glass sales are made to solar modules producers (Crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and thin-film photovoltaic modules).
Ker v zvezi z interesom industrije Unije ni bilo pripomb, Komisija potrjuje uvodne izjave 148 do 151 začasne uredbe.
However, as stated in recitals 143 and 144 of the provisional Regulation, consumption of solar modules increased constantly over the period considered, that is 2009-2012, and even though it decreased in 2012, the level of consumption remained 221 % higher than in 2009 and 44 % higher than in 2010 [7].
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov in trgovcev
In addition, it was established that the feed-in tariffs (FITs) cutbacks at the end of 2011/beginning of 2012 had not broken the causal link between the dumped imports of solar modules and the material injury found [8] as the demand for solar modules remained relatively high over the period 2009-2012.
Ker v zvezi z interesom nepovezanih uvoznikov in trgovcev ni bilo pripomb, Komisija potrjuje uvodne izjave 152, 153 in 154 začasne uredbe.
In view of the above, the Commission concludes that the decrease in 2012 of the level of consumption of solar modules cannot be regarded on its own as a factor such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports of solar glass from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Interes dobaviteljev surovin
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 dumped imports of solar glass from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Ker v zvezi z interesom dobaviteljev surovin ni bilo pripomb, Komisija potrjuje uvodno izjavo 155 začasne uredbe.
In the absence of any other comments, the conclusion reached in recital 144 of the provisional Regulation is confirmed.
Interes uporabnikov
Conclusion on causation
Javil se je uporabnik, ki je trdil, da protidampinški ukrepi nanj ne bodo vplivali, saj še ni uporabil solarnega stekla s poreklom iz LRK in tega tudi ne namerava.
In view of the above, the Commission confirms its findings in recitals 130-133 of the provisional Regulation that imports of the product concerned from the country concerned were dumped during the IP and they undercut the sales of the Union industry.
En proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da bi lahko uvedba protidampinške dajatve na kitajsko solarno steklo industriji solarnega stekla v Uniji nekoliko pomagala, vendar bi to precej škodilo industriji Unije na področju fotonapetostnih in solarnih termalnih naprav, saj bodo morali za zadevni izdelek plačati več.
Furthermore, there is a clear coincidence in time between the increasing volumes of dumped imports and the deterioration of the situation of the Union industry.
Poleg tega naj bi bilo to v nasprotju s ciljem Unije na področju varstva okolja, saj bi se zvišale cene fotonapetostnih modulov in solarnih termalnih naprav, hkrati pa bi to koristilo industriji solarnega stekla, ki je energetsko intenzivna.
The dumped imports were in direct competition with the Union industry’s production and as a result the Union industry lost profitability and market share during the period considered.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 157 začasne uredbe, bo imela uvedba protidampinških dajatev zelo omejen učinek (manjši od 1 %) na skupne stroške solarnih modulov.
Other possible causes of injury were analysed above and none of them, analysed both individually and cumulatively, were found to be such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Komisija ni prejela nobenega dokaza, ki bi izpodbijal točnost te analize.
No new evidence was provided to change that conclusion and in the absence of any other comments regarding the conclusion on causation, the Commission confirms recitals 145 and 146 of the provisional Regulation.
Ker v zvezi z interesom Unije ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, Komisija potrjuje uvodne izjave 155 do 159 začasne uredbe.
F. UNION INTEREST
Vidiki konkurence
Interest of the Union industry
Ker v zvezi z vidiki konkurence iz uvodnih izjav 160 do 163 ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb, Komisija zadevne uvodne izjave potrjuje.
In the absence of any comments regarding the interest of the Union industry, the Commission confirms recitals 148 to 151 of the provisional Regulation.
Sklep o interesu Unije
Interest of unrelated importers and traders
Komisija ni prejela nobene pripombe, ki bi spremenila analizo interesa Unije iz začasne uredbe.
In the absence of any comments regarding the interest of unrelated importers and traders, the Commission confirms recitals 152, 153 and 154 of the provisional Regulation.
Komisija zato potrjuje uvodno izjavo 164 začasne uredbe.
Interest of raw materials suppliers
G. DOKONČNI PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
In the absence of any comments regarding the interest of raw materials suppliers the Commission confirms recital 155 of the provisional Regulation.
Stopnja odprave škode
Interest of users
Več zainteresiranih strani je ugovarjalo temu, da bi se kot ciljni dobiček industrije Unije uporabila 8,3-odstotna stopnja dobička iz uvodne izjave 167 začasne uredbe, saj naj bi bila nerazumno visoka.
One user came forward and indicated that the anti-dumping measures will not affect it as it has not used solar glass produced in the PRC and does not intend to do so.
Trdile so, da je bila 8,3-odstotna stopnja dobička leta 2010 najvišja v obravnavanem obdobju, saj je bilo leto 2010 najboljše leto za svetovno fotonapetostno industrijo.
One exporting producer claimed that the imposition of anti-dumping duty on Chinese solar glass may benefit the Union solar glass industry a little, but harm the Union PV and solar thermal industry a lot as they will have to pay more for the product concerned.
Trdile so tudi, da industrija solarnega stekla v Uniji leta 2012 brez dampinga ne bi mogla ohraniti enake stopnje dobička, ker se je v letu 2012 svetovna industrija fotonapetostnih modulov, vključno z industrijo fotonapetnostnih modulov v Uniji, znašla v veliki recesiji.
Furthermore, this would arguably go against the environmental protection target of the Union as it would increase prices for PV modules and solar thermal applications and it would favour the solar glass industry which it perceived as energy intensive.
Za ciljni dobiček je Komisija uporabila povprečni dobiček, ki so ga vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije ustvarili leta 2010, ko je bil uvoz zadevnega izdelka še vedno majhen in še ne bi mogel izkrivljati običajnih konkurenčnih pogojev.
As set out in recital 157 of the provisional Regulation, the imposition of the anti-dumping duties will have only very limited impact (less than 1 %) on the total costs of the solar modules.
Stopnja dobička, uporabljena za ugotavljanje stopnje odprave škode, ustreza obdobju, ko bi industrija Unije v običajnih konkurenčnih pogojih lahko pričakovala, da bo dosegla dobiček, če ne bi bilo dampinškega uvoza [9].
No evidence was received that would question the accuracy of this analysis.
Industrija solarnega stekla najvišje ravni ni dosegla leta 2010, kot so to trdile zainteresirane strani, temveč leta 2011, ko sta bili potrošnja Unije in prodaja industrije Unije največji.
In the absence of any other comments received concerning Union interest, the Commission confirms recitals 155 to 159 of the provisional Regulation.
Ena stran je po dokončnem razkritju ponovno ugovarjala temu, da bi se kot ciljni dobiček uporabila stopnja dobička.
Competition aspects
Trdila je, da bi morala Komisija upoštevati vse druge dejavnike, ki so vplivali na dobičkonosnost v OP.
In the absence of any comments regarding the competition aspects identified in recitals 160 to 163 of the provisional Regulation, the Commission confirms the recitals in question.
Trdila je tudi, da razumen ciljni dobiček ne bi smel presegati 5 %.
Conclusion on Union interest
Komisija to trditev zavrača iz naslednjih razlogov.
No comments were received that would change the analysis of the Union interest as set out in the provisional Regulation.
Uporabljeni ciljni dobiček ne temelji na oceni, ampak na dejanskem dobičku, ki ga je industrija Unije dosegla pred izkrivljanjem konkurence, ki ga je povzročil dampinški uvoz iz Kitajske.
Therefore, the Commission confirms recital 164 of the provisional Regulation.
Po mnenju Komisije je to razumen dobiček in upoštevala je, da položaj na trgu ni bil bistveno drugačen kot v OP, tudi ob izvzetju učinka dampinškega uvoza iz Kitajske.
G. DEFINITIVE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Trditev strani v zvezi s tem, in sicer da je bila leta 2010 potrošnja precej večja kot leta 2012, ne drži.
Injury elimination level
Predlagani ciljni dobiček v višini 5 % je naključen, saj ne temelji na nobenih podatkih ali dejanskih izračunih, zato se zavrne.
Several interested parties contested the use of 8,3 % as the target profit for the Union industry set out in recital 167 of the provisional Regulation, stating that it was unrealistically high.
Po drugi strani je pritožnik trdil, da je stopnja dobička prenizka in da bi jo morala Komisija povečati na 15 %, saj je bil leta 2010 dobiček pritožnika višji od 10 %.
They argued that the 8,3 % profit margin in 2010 was the highest during the period considered, because 2010 was the best year for the world PV industry.
Najnižje stopnje dobička, ki so jih drugi vzorčeni proizvajalci EU dosegli leta 2010, naj ne bi bile reprezentativne za dobiček, ki bi ga lahko pričakovali, če ne bi bilo nepravično trženega uvoza.
They also claimed that it is impossible for the Union solar glass industry to obtain the same profit margin in 2012 in the absence of dumping when the global PV module industry including the Union PV module industry allegedly entered into big recession in 2012.
Najverjetneje obstajajo razlogi, povezani z upravnimi politikami ali vprašanji teh družb, med katere morda sodijo kratkoročne cenovne politike, namenjene pridobitvi tržnega deleža, kar bi pojasnilo nižjo stopnjo dobička, ki so jo dosegle tisto leto in zakaj so bile med prvimi, ki so utrpele škodo zaradi dampinškega uvoza.
The Commission used as target profit the average profit achieved by the sampled Union producers in 2010 when the imports of the product concerned were still small and therefore could not have distorted the normal conditions of competition yet.
Komisija te trditve ne sprejema.
