They further argued that the objective of the scheme is not to provide benefits to exporting producers but to compensate for the costs born in connection to the backwardness of the region and hence that the scheme cannot be countervailed.
Na podlagi ugotovitev, kot je povzeto v preglednici, se je skupni znesek subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, izražen ad valorem, gibal med 4,16 % in 7,65 %.
Moreover, they claimed that the scheme should be treated as a capital subsidy rather that a recurring subsidy and that the total benefit received should be spread over the normal depreciation period of the subsidised capital.
Preglednica 1
In this respect, the investigation revealed as mentioned in recital 220 that the grant is paid on a yearly basis for the eligible investments which are expenditures made in building, plant and machinery.
Znesek subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi – Indija
Such investments are directly related to PSF.
Shema
The mere fact that the yearly amount that can be claimed is capped by the amount of the domestic taxes paid to the GOM over the same period does not change the fact that the yearly benefit of the GOM constitutes a financial contribution of the GOI which confers a benefit upon the investigated exporting producers.
Skupaj
Finally, the grant paid on a yearly basis does not have the feature of the capital subsidy even if an investment in capital goods is at the origin of such payment.
Družba
This amount (numerator) has been allocated over the total sales turnover of the product concerned of the exporting producer during the investigation period, because the subsidy is not contingent upon export performance and was not granted by reference to the quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported, pursuant to Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation.

The subsidy rate established with regard to the EDE sub-scheme amounted to 0,31 % for the single company availing of this benefit.
Na podlagi informacij iz pritožbe in odgovorov na vprašalnik Komisije so bile preverjene naslednje sheme, v okviru katerih je vietnamska vlada domnevno dodeljevala subvencije:
The subsidy rate established with regard to the IPS sub-scheme amounted to 1,03 % and 1,91 % respectively during the investigation period for the companies concerned.

Preiskava je pokazala, da je v tem primeru vsaka ugodnost, ugotovljena v povezavi s preverjenimi shemami, nižja od ustrezne stopnje de minimis iz člena 14(5) [4] osnovne uredbe.

Subvencijske sheme, ki jih vietnamski proizvajalci izvozniki v obdobju preiskave niso uporabljali
VIETNAM
Preiskava je pokazala, da vietnamski proizvajalci izvozniki niso uporabljali naslednjih shem:
On the basis of the information contained in the complaint and the replies to the Commission's questionnaire, the following schemes, which allegedly involved the granting of subsidies by Government of Vietnam, were investigated:
blago, ki ga industriji rezanih poliestrskih vlaken prek podjetij v državni lasti zagotavlja vlada za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega;
A. government preferential lending to the PSF industry by state-owned banks and the government entrustment and direction of private banks, and interest rate support;
pospešena amortizacija opredmetenih osnovnih sredstev;
B. government provision of goods to the PSF industry by state-owned enterprises for less than adequate remuneration;
drugi programi subvencioniranja, vključno z državnimi, regionalnimi in lokalnimi vladnimi shemami.
C. government provision of land for less than adequate remuneration and other land-related benefits;
Glede blaga, ki ga industriji rezanih poliestrskih vlaken prek podjetij v državni lasti zagotavlja vlada za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega, je bilo v pritožbi v zvezi s to shemo navedeno, da vietnamski proizvajalci PTA/MEG, ki se lahko v proizvodnji rezanih poliestrskih vlaken uporabi kot glavna surovina, nabavljajo po subvencioniranih cenah.
D. direct tax exemptions and reductions programmes;
Preiskava je pokazala, da noben od preiskovanih proizvajalcev izvoznikov PTA/MEG ni uporabljal kot glavno surovino, ampak so vsi uporabljali reciklirane plastenke iz PET ali granulate iz plastenk.
E. indirect tax and import tariff programmes;
Pritožnik je po razkritju trdil, da je Komisija zagotovila delno analizo le za eno shemo, tj. zagotavljanje PTA/MEG po subvencioniranih cenah.
F. accelerated depreciation on fixed assets;
Pritožnik je glede tega programa trdil, da sta način izbire vzorca in dejstvo, da veliki proizvajalci rezanih poliestrskih vlaken v Vietnamu niso bili zajeti v preiskavi, pri tem programu vplivala na ugotavljanje obstoja subvencioniranja.
G. other subsidy programmes, including state, regional, and local government schemes.
Pritožnik je navedel tudi druge domnevne programe subvencioniranja v Vietnamu, informacije o teh programih pa so bile predložene v pritožbi.
For each scheme it was investigated whether, pursuant to provisions of Article 3 of the basic Regulation, a financial contribution by the GOV and a benefit conferred to the exporting producers could be established.
Kot je Komisija pojasnila v uvodnih izjavah 32–34 in 42, za Vietnam vzorčenje ni bilo potrebno, saj so bili pripravljeni sodelovati vsi vietnamski proizvajalci izvozniki, izpolnjeni vprašalniki, ki so jih poslali trije sodelujoči proizvajalci, pa so predstavljali več kot 99 % uvoza iz Vietnama.
The investigation revealed that in the present case any benefit found for the investigated schemes is below the applicable de minimis threshold in Article 14(5) [4] of the basic Regulation.
Trditve pritožnika glede vzorčenja zato niso pomembne za ugotovitve preiskave.
Nevertheless, for the purpose of clarity and transparency the details of the schemes and the corresponding subsidy rates for individual companies are set out below, without prejudice to whether or not the subsidies are considered to be countervailable.
Dejstvo, da so v Vietnamu tudi drugi veliki proizvajalci rezanih poliestrskih vlaken, samo po sebi ne zbuja pomislekov o reprezentativnosti sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
The benefit was calculated in line with Article 6 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija potrjuje, da je zbirala informacije in odgovore glede vseh domnevnih subvencij, navedenih v pritožbi, vključno s subvencijami, ki jih je pritožnik navedel v svojih pripombah glede razkritja, vendar je bilo za te programe ugotovljeno, da jih sodelujoči izvozniki niso uporabljali.
Specific subsidy schemes
Komisija je navedla dodatne podrobnosti o zagotavljanju PTA/MEG, saj se je ta shema v pritožbi obravnavala kot pomemben dejavnik, ki bi lahko zagotavljal visoko subvencijo, proti kateri se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi.
Subsidy schemes not used by the Vietnamese exporting producers during the investigation period
Subvencijske sheme, ki so jih vietnamski preiskovani proizvajalci izvozniki uporabljali v obdobju preiskave
The investigation found that the following schemes were not used by the investigated Vietnamese exporting producers:
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so preiskovani vietnamski proizvajalci izvozniki v obravnavanem obdobju uporabljali naslednje sheme.
government provision of goods to the PSF industry by state-owned enterprises for less than adequate remuneration;
Preferenčna posojila
accelerated depreciation on fixed assets;
Subvencioniranje obrestne mere po naložbi, ki ga je zagotavljala razvojna banka Vietnama
other subsidy programmes, including state, regional, and local government schemes.
Razvojna banka Vietnama („VBD“) je strateška banka v državni lasti, ki je bila leta 2006 ustanovljena s sklepom št. 108/2006/QD-TTg zaradi izvajanja državnih politik o razvojnih naložbenih kreditih in izvoznih kreditih.
As concerns in particular the government provision of goods to the PSF industry by state-owned enterprises for less than adequate remuneration, the allegation in this regard contained in the complaint was that PTA/MEG, which can be used as main raw material for the production of PSF, was obtained by the Vietnamese producers at subsidised prices.
Razvojna banka Vietnama je v obdobju preiskave uvedla program za subvencioniranje obrestnih mer pri nekaterih posojilih komercialnih bank.
The investigation showed however that none of the investigated exporting producers were using PTA/MEG as main raw material but that they were all using recycled PET bottles or PET bottle flakes instead.
Družbe skupine Thai Binh so v tem okviru sklenile pogodbe z banko VDB za subvencioniranje posojil bank BIDV in Vietcom Bank.
Further to the disclosure, the complainant noted that the Commission provided a partial analysis only for one of them, that is the provision of PTA/MEG at subsidised prices.
Pravna podlaga tega programa je odlok št. 75/2011/ND-CP z dne 30. avgusta 2011, ki nadomešča odloke št. 151/2006/ND-CP, št. 106/2008/ND-CP in št. 106/2004 ND-CP.
With regard to this programme, the complainant argued that the way the sample was established and the fact that major PSF producers in Vietnam were not included in the investigation affected the determination on this programme.
Pri pogodbah, ki so bile podpisane pred začetkom uporabe odloka št. 75/2011, veljajo prejšnji odloki.
The complainant also listed other alleged subsidy programmes in Vietnam for which information had been submitted in the complaint.
Ugodnost iz tega programa je enaka razliki med obrestnimi merami banke VBD in obrestnimi merami komercialnih bank, ki se uporabljajo pri posojilih tema dvema družbama.
As the Commission has explained in recitals 32-34 and 42 above, no sampling was necessary for Vietnam as all Vietnamese exporting producers expressed their intention to cooperate, and the replies received from the three cooperating producers covered over 99 % of imports from Vietnam.
Program se uporablja za dolgo- in srednjeročna posojila komercialnih bank, namenjena financiranju naložbenih projektov.
Therefore, the complainant's arguments concerning sampling are not relevant for the findings of the investigation.
Ugodnost iz te sheme znaša 0–0,28 %.
In addition, the mere fact that there are other large producers of PSF in Vietnam does not as such question the representativeness of the cooperating exporting producers.
Posojila z nizkimi obrestnimi merami, ki so jih dodelile nekatere komercialne banke v državni lasti
The Commission confirms that it sought information and replies on all of the alleged subsidies included in the complaint including the ones mentioned by the complainant in its comments to the disclosure, but these programmes were found not to be used by the cooperating exporters.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je velik del bančnega sektorja v Vietnamu v državni lasti; skoraj 50 % posojil v vietnamskem gospodarstvu v obdobju preiskave je odobrilo pet velikih bank v državni lasti [5].
The Commission provided details on the provision of PTA/MEG as this programme featured as a major allegation in the complaint possibly conferring a significant countervailable subsidy.
Tuje lastništvo bank s sedežem v Vietnamu je omejeno [6].
Subsidy schemes used by the Vietnamese investigated exporting producers during the investigation period
Komercialne banke morajo podjetjem subvencionirati obrestno mero [7].
The below schemes were found to be used by the investigated Vietnamese exporting producers during the investigation period.
Vietnamska državna banka določi najvišje obrestne mere, ki jih komercialne banke lahko spremenijo v posojila nekaterim subjektom [8].
Preferential lending
Informacije v spisu kažejo, da komercialne banke v državni lasti nudijo nižje obrestne mere kot druge banke.
Post-investment interest rate support by the Vietnam Development Bank
V več vietnamskih zakonih o bančnem sektorju in posojilih so navedena preferenčna posojila.
The Vietnam Development Bank (‘VDB’) is a state-owned policy bank established in 2006 under Decision No 108/2006/QD-TTg to implement state policies on development investment credit and export credit.
V uredbi št. 1627 iz leta 2001 so na primer navedena posojila strankam, za katere velja politika preferencialnih kreditov (člena 20 in 26), zakon o kreditnih institucijah pa navaja koncesijske kredite (člen 27).
During the investigation period, the Vietnam Development Bank (‘VDB’) administered a programme for interest rate support on some loans from commercial banks.
Znesek subvencije se izračuna na podlagi ugodnosti za prejemnike, ugotovljene v obdobju preiskave.
Within this framework, the Thai Binh Group companies had contracts with the VDB for the support of loans from BIDV and Vietcom Bank.
V skladu s členom 6(b) osnovne uredbe se kot ugodnost za prejemnike šteje razlika med zneskom, ki ga družba plača na preferenčno posojilo, in zneskom, ki bi ga družba plačala za primerljivo komercialno posojilo, ki bi ga pridobila na trgu.
The legal basis for the programme is Decree No 75/2011/ND-CP from 30 August 2011, which replaces the Decree No 151/2006/ND-CP, Decree No 106/2008/ND-CP and Decree 106/2004 ND-CP.
Informacije iz uvodnih izjav 242 in 243 kažejo na precejšnja izkrivljanja v vietnamskem finančnem sektorju.
When the contracts have been signed before the application of the Decree No 75/2011, the previous Decrees apply.
Komisija je zato za izračun ugodnosti, ki izhajajo iz preferenčnih posojil, uporabila zunanjo referenčno vrednost.
The benefit from this programme equals the difference between the interest rates offered by the VDB and interest rates from commercial banks applied on the loans to these two companies.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 231, to ne vpliva na možnost uvedbe izravnalnih ukrepov za subvencijo, ki izhaja iz preferenčnih posojil.
The programme applies to the long and medium term loans from commercial banks used for the financing of investments projects.
Komisija tudi zaradi subvencioniranja de minimis ni sprejela končnih sklepov glede tega, ali so zadevne banke javni organi in ali je ocena kreditnega tveganja, ki jo opravijo banke, ustrezna.
The benefit from this scheme ranged between 0 % and of 0,28 %.
Zunanja referenčna vrednost je bila potrebna, da so se lahko upoštevala le posojila v vietnamski valuti (VND), saj ni bilo nobenih dokazov, da so bila posojila v USD subvencionirana.
Low interest loans granted by some state-owned commercial banks
Od vseh sodelujočih družb je posojila v vietnamski valuti prejela le skupina Thai Binh Group.
The investigation showed that a significant part of the banking sector in Vietnam is state-owned; almost 50 % of the loans in the Vietnamese economy during the investigation period was made by the 5 large state-owned banks [5].
Referenčna vrednost je bila izračunana s pomočjo obrestnih mer za kreditiranje skupine 48 narodov v državah z nižjim srednjim prihodkom (BDP) v zadnjem obdobju, za katerega so bili podatki na voljo (leto 2012).
There are limitations to the foreign ownership of banks established in Vietnam [6].
Zadevne države so bile izbrane, ker imajo podoben BDP kot Vietnam.
Commercial banks are instructed to provide interest rate support to businesses [7].
Te mere so bile nato prilagojene za inflacijo v obdobju preiskave, da so se dobile dejanske obrestne mere, za države, za katere so bili podatki na voljo, pa se je izračunalo povprečje 48 držav.
The State Bank of Vietnam sets the maximum interest rates which the commercial banks can charge for loans to some entities [8].
Podatke o obrestnih merah in stopnjah inflacije držav je predložila Svetovna banka.
Information on the file shows that the state-owned commercial banks are offering lower interest rates than other banks.
Povprečna dejanska obrestna mera za navedene države z nižjim srednjim dohodkom v obdobju preiskave je znašala 8,23 %.
Several laws in Vietnam concerning the banking sector and lending refer to preferential lending.
Ta referenčna vrednost se je nato primerjala z inflaciji prilagojenimi obrestnimi merami za vsa posojila v vietnamski valuti, ki so jih prejela preiskovana podjetja.
For example, Regulation 1627 of 2001 refers to loans to customers which are subject to preferential credit policy (Articles 20 and 26) or the Law on Credit Institutions refers to concessional credits (Article 27).
Ugodnost iz tega programa znaša 0–1,34 %.
The amount of subsidy is calculated in terms of benefit conferred on the recipients, which is found to exist during the investigation period.
Vietnamska vlada je po razkritju ugovarjala sklepom o izkrivljanju vietnamskega finančnega sistema in navedla, da bi morala Komisija oceniti, ali so komercialne banke v državni lasti javni organi in ali je ocena kreditnega tveganja, ki jo opravijo te banke, ustrezna.
According to Article 6(b) of the basic Regulation the benefit conferred on the recipients is considered the difference between the amount the company pays on the preferential loan and the amount that the company would pay for a comparable commercial loan obtainable on the market.
Po mnenju vietnamske vlade bi ta analiza vplivala na sklep o obstoju finančnega prispevka in na uporabo zunanje referenčne vrednosti pri ugotavljanju ugodnosti, dodeljene v okviru tega programa.
The information described in recitals 242 and 243 above point to significant distortions in the Vietnamese financial sector.
Kot je bilo navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 242 in 243, informacije in dokazi, zbrani v preiskavi, kažejo na precejšnja izkrivljanja v vietnamskem bančnem sistemu.
Therefore the Commission resorted to an external benchmark for the calculation of benefit from preferential loans.
Zaradi teh izkrivljanj je treba v skladu s pravili osnovne uredbe pri določanju zneska ugodnosti (če obstaja) uporabiti zunanjo referenčno vrednost.
As stated in recital 231 above this is without prejudice to the countervailability of the subsidy resulting from preferential lending.
Ker so ugodnosti za vietnamske proizvajalce izvoznike opredeljene kot de minimis, se Komisiji ne zdi potrebno preučiti, ali so banke javni organi in/ali je ocena tveganja ustrezna, kot je bilo pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 231 in 232.
Also because of the de minimis subsidisation, the Commission did not make any final conclusions whether the banks concerned are public bodies or whether the credit risk assessment performed by the banks is sufficient.
Zagotavljanje pravic do rabe zemljišča
The external benchmark was required to cover loans in VND currency only as no evidence was seen that loans given in USD were subsidised.
(250 ) Obema sodelujočima proizvajalcema izvoznikoma so bile dodeljene pravice do rabe zemljišč na posebnih industrijskih območjih.
Of the cooperating companies only the Thai Binh Group received loans in VND.
Skupina Thai Binh Group je pravice do rabe zemljišč prejela neposredno od države, družba Vietnam New Century Polyester Fibre Co Ltd. („VNC“) pa je zemljišče najela prek podjetja, ki je delno v državni lasti.
The benchmark was calculated using the lending interest rates of a basket of 48 nations in lower middle income (GDP) countries in the most recent period available (2012).
Skupina Thai Binh Group ima tri parcele na industrijskem območju.
Such countries were chosen because they had a similar GDP to Vietnam.
V obdobju preiskave je bila skupina v celoti izvzeta iz plačila najemnine za dve parceli.
These rates were then adjusted for inflation in the investigation period to produce real interest rates and an average for the 48 countries was calculated for those countries for which data were available.
Podlagi za izvzetje sta odloka št. 121/2010/ND-CP in 142/2005/ND-CP.
The source of the country interest and inflation rates was the World Bank.
Najemnine za tretjo parcelo skupina prav tako ni plačevala, saj je v upravnem postopku zahtevala izvzetje iz plačila.
The average real interest rate for these lower middle income countries was 8,23 % in the investigation period.
Zneska izvzetih najemnin sta precej nižja od zneskov, ki jih je skupina plačevala za druge podobne parcele v neposredni bližini industrijskega območja, zdita pa se tudi precej nižja od običajnih cen zemljišč v regiji.
This benchmark was compared to the inflation adjusted interest rates of all VND loans for the investigated companies.
Družbi VNC ni bilo dodeljeno popolno izvzetje pravic do rabe zemljišča, vendar je bilo jasno, da je bila v obdobju preiskave deležna ugodnosti.
The benefit for this programme ranged between 0 % and 1,34 %.
Družba VNC ima v najemu tri parcele, ki jih je najela prek družbe v delni državni lasti.
Following disclosure, the GOV disputed the conclusions on the distortions of the Vietnamese financial system and submitted that the Commission should have assessed whether the state-owned commercial banks are public bodies and whether the credit risk assessment performed by them is sufficient.
Indijska vlada je trdila, da gre za prenose med zasebnimi strankami, vendar informacije v spisu kažejo nasprotno.
In GOV's view, this analysis would have affected the conclusion on the existence of a financial contribution and also the use of an external benchmark to establish the benefit conferred by this programme.
V naložbenem dovoljenju družbe VNC je najem zemljišč naveden kot preferenčna ugodnost.
As specified in recitals 242-243 above, the information and evidence collected in the investigation show significant distortions in the Vietnamese banking system.
Nacionalni svet province Quang Ninh v dovoljenju družbo VNC zavezuje k najemu zemljišča prek zadevne družbe.
Because of these distortions, in line with the rules of the basic Regulation, an external benchmark must be used to determine the amount of benefit (if any).
V skladu z izvirno pogodbo med družbo v delni državni lasti, ki je družbi VNC oddalo parcelo, in lokalnim organom, pristojnim za zemljišča, je naknadni prenos zemljišča mogoč le pod določenimi pogoji, ki jih določi navedeni organ.
Since the benefits for Vietnamese exporting producers are de minimis, the Commission does not consider it necessary to examine whether the banks are public bodies and/or whether the risk assessment is sufficient as clarified in recitals 231 and 232 above.
Iz tega je razvidno, da država sodeluje pri prenosu zemljišča med dvema strankama.
Provision of land use rights
Da bi lahko Komisija ocenila ugodnost, je nizke cene zemljišč na industrijskih območjih, povezane s prenosi, primerjala z referenčno ceno podobnih zemljišč.
Both cooperating exporting producers were allocated land use rights in special industrial zones.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je trg za zemljišča v Vietnamu očitno reguliran, izkrivlja pa ga posredovanje vlade, saj je odobrila izvzetje ali referenčno nadomestilo za pravice do rabe zemljišča, ki se nanašajo na zemljišča na določenih industrijskih območjih in/ali v spodbujanih poslovnih sektorjih.
