Between 2009 and the IP, the average labour costs per employee continuously increased, overall by 12 %.
Od leta 2010 se je postopno povečeval in se v obravnavanem obdobju na splošno povečal.
However a major increase by 4,8 % took place between 2011 and the IP.
Donosnost naložb je bila izražena kot dobiček v odstotkih neto knjigovodske vrednosti naložb.
The overall increase of labour costs can be partly explained by costs incurred by some Union producers linked to the idling of plants between 2011 and the IP, in other words, the need to pay employees despite the fact that they were actually not working.
Preglednica 10 prikazuje, da so se naložbe po zagonski fazi leta 2009, ko je industrija veliko naložb namenila podobnemu izdelku, med letoma 2009 in 2011 stalno zmanjševale, v OP pa povečale.
Inventories
Industrija je zlasti vlagala v nove vrste izdelkov, ki se v istem obdobju niso uvažali iz LRK in za katere je bilo potrebnih veliko raziskav in inovacij.
Stock levels of the sampled Union producers developed as follows over the period considered:
V zvezi z zmožnostjo zbiranja kapitala je bilo ugotovljeno, da se je zmožnost industrije Unije, da zagotovi denarna sredstva za podobni izdelek, stalno poslabševala, zato se je poslabšal tudi njen finančni položaj.
Table 9
Sklep o škodi
Closing stocks (1000 m2)
Analiza položaja industrije Unije kaže očitno negativno gibanje večine kazalnikov škode.
Stocks increased by 7,3 % between 2011 and the IP and by 15 % between 2009 and the IP, while they dropped by 11,6 % between 2010 and 2011.
Splošna proizvodnja se je ob splošno naraščajoči potrošnji v obravnavanem obdobju povečala.
After disclosure, the GOC claimed that the trends in stocks are irrelevant since their increase in absolute and relative terms was very low.
Čeprav se je obseg prodaje povečal, se je tržni delež industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal zaradi večjega povečanja potrošnje v tem obdobju.
Given the price developments, it is not rational for a producer to keep high stocks, because their value reduces rapidly.
Povprečne prodajne cene so se v obravnavanem obdobju močno zniževale, kar je negativno vplivalo na vse kazalnike finančne uspešnosti, kot so dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala.
Union producers would therefore be expected to hold limited stocks for the like product.
Celotni obseg prodaje industrije Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal.
Therefore, the increase in stocks for the like product between 2011 and the IP, although quite limited, is a relevant indicator in establishing if the Union industry suffered material injury.
Vendar pa je povečanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije spremljalo izredno znižanje povprečnih prodajnih cen ter tržnega deleža industrije Unije.
The high volume of stocks in absolute terms in 2010 has to be seen against the background that sales were much higher in that year than in the IP.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno je preiskava potrdila zlasti dejstvo, da so bile prodajne cene industrije Unije v OP nižje od proizvodnih stroškov, kar je imelo negativni učinek na dobičkonosnost industrije Unije, ki je v OP dosegla znatno negativne ravni.
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital
Vendar se je zmogljivost med letom 2009 in OP pozitivno razvijala.
Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments of the sampled Union producers developed as follows over the period considered:
Kljub temu, da so se naložbe med letom 2009 in OP zmanjšale, so se med letom 2011 in OP povečale.
Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments
Hkrati je očitno, da bi morala biti industrija Unije prav tako sposobna proizvesti in prodati veliko količino osnovnejših vrst izdelkov (ki trenutno konkurirajo subvencioniranemu uvozu iz LRK), da bi lahko zmanjšala fiksne stroške in dosegla ekonomijo obsega.
Profitability
Te izjave niso neskladne, ampak dopolnjujoče, naložbe v nove vrste izdelka v istem obdobju namreč neizogibno prispevajo tudi k povečanju zmogljivosti.
Cash flow (1000 EUR)
Kljub temu, da take naložbe dejansko povišujejo stroške industrije Unije, so tudi pomemben kazalnik, da si industrija prizadeva za ohranitev konkurenčnosti.
Investments (1000 EUR)
Na podlagi tega je mogoče sklepati, da je industrija Unije v OP utrpela znatno škodo, poleg tega pa je tudi dejavno iskala načine za zmanjšanje izpostavljenosti subvencioniranemu uvozu zadevnega izdelka z razvojem inovativnih izdelkov, ki se še ne uvažajo iz zadevne države.
Return on investments
Glede na navedeno je bilo sklenjeno, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 8(5) osnovne uredbe.
Profitability of the sampled Union producers was established by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of such sales.
E. VZROČNA ZVEZA
In 2009 most of the sampled Union producers incurred losses, which, as explained in section D.7, were mainly due to the fact they started their production of the like product at that time.
V skladu s členom 8(6) in (7) osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali je subvencionirani uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil škodo za industrijo Unije v tolikšni meri, da jo je mogoče šteti za znatno.
In 2010 the average profit was already 8,31 %.
Poleg subvencioniranega uvoza so bili proučeni tudi drugi znani dejavniki, ki bi lahko povzročili škodo industriji Unije, da se morebitna škoda, ki bi jo ti dejavniki povzročili, ne bi pripisala subvencioniranemu uvozu.
Subsequently the profitability slightly decreased in 2011 when the subsidised imports started increasing.
Učinek subvencioniranega uvoza
Finally, the industry suffered significant losses during the IP, notably a drop by 276,6 % in comparison with 2011.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je subvencionirani uvoz v obravnavanem obdobju povečal, tj. za 596 %, njegov tržni delež pa za 366 %.
The trend in net cash flow, which is the ability of the sampled Union producers to self-finance their activities, had a pronounced drop of 81 % between 2011 and the IP.
Zato je potrjeno, da sta se obseg uvoza in tržni delež uvoza zadevnega izdelka v obravnavanem obdobju znatno povečala.
It was increasing progressively as from 2010 and overall it increased over the period considered.
Povečanje subvencioniranega uvoza je časovno jasno sovpadalo z izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Unije.
The return on investments was expressed as the profit in percentage of the net book value of investments.
Povedano drugače, uvoz se je povečeval znatno hitreje od trga Unije, proizvajalci Unije pa so zaradi kitajskega subvencioniranega uvoza izgubili tržni delež.
Table 10 shows that after the start-up phase in 2009 when industry made major investments in the like product, investments constantly decreased between 2009 and 2011 and then increased in the IP.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno tudi, da je subvencionirani uvoz v OP nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije, kot je navedeno v oddelku D.4.2.
However, investments remained at low level in the IP in comparison with 2009 levels.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so se cene subvencioniranega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za 27,2 %, zaradi česar se je povečala razlika med cenami proizvajalcev Unije in cenami proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
The investments made in the IP were mainly linked to R & D as well as improving and maintaining production technology and process in order to improve efficiency.
Zaradi tega znatnega cenovnega pritiska je morala industrija Unije vložiti veliko truda v zmanjševanje svojih proizvodnih stroškov.
In particular, the industry invested in new product types that are not imported from the PRC during the same period and that are research and innovation intensive.
Kljub temu je bila industrija Unije zaradi izjemno nizke ravni kitajskih uvoznih cen prisiljena dodatno znižati svoje prodajne cene na nedobičkonosno raven.
By contrast, the return on investments decreased by 34 % between 2009 and 2012.
Po razkritju je več zainteresiranih strani izpodbijalo sklep Komisije, da obstaja vzročna zveza med znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in subvencioniranim uvozom iz LRK.
However, it constantly increased before the IP, in other words, it increased by 293 % between 2009 and 2011, but it dropped by 186 % during the IP in comparison with 2011.
Trdile so, da ne obstaja časovno sovpadanje škode in povečanega uvoza iz zadevne države.
The drop in 2012 is a logical consequence of the fact that the Union industry suffered a loss during the IP.
To je posledica dejstva, da se je kitajski uvoz med letoma 2009 in 2011 znatno povečal.
As far as the ability to raise capital is concerned, it has been found that there was a constant deterioration of the ability of the Union industry to generate cash for the like product and, consequently, a weakening of the financial situation of the Union industry.
Poleg tega je leta 2011 povprečna cena kitajskega uvoza znašala 4,96 EUR/m2, ki je blizu ceni v letu 2012 (4,38 EUR/m2).
Conclusion on injury
Iste strani so trdile, da sklep, da bi bilo treba škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, pripisati kitajskemu uvozu leta 2012, nasprotuje ugotovitvam, da kitajski uvoz prejšnje leto ni imel negativnega učinka, čeprav je bila povprečna uvozna cena zelo podobna.
The analysis of the situation of the Union industry shows a clear downward trend of most of the injury indicators.
Strani so prav tako trdile, da časovnega sovpadanja nastale znatne škode in subvencioniranega kitajskega uvoza ni mogoče oceniti na podlagi celotnega obravnavanega obdobja od leta 2009 do konca OP, ne da bi se upoštevala vmesna gibanja, zabeležena v tem obdobju.
Against a generally increasing consumption, overall production increased in the period considered.
Od začetka obravnavanega obdobja do konca OP se je uvoz povečal za 596 %, njegov tržni delež pa za 321 %.
Although the volume of sales increased, the market share of the Union industry shrank in the period considered due to stronger increase of consumption during that period.
Uvozne cene so se v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za 27,2 %.
Average sales price fell sharply during the period considered, negatively impacting all the financial performance indicators such as profitability, cash flow, return on investments and ability to raise capital.
Potrošnja v OP se je dejansko zmanjšala za malo več kot 19 %, obseg kitajskega uvoza pa se je dodatno povečal za več kot 35 %.
Over the period considered, the overall Union industry’s sales volume increased.
To jasno kaže na časovno sovpadanje znatne škode, ki jo je v OP utrpela industrija Unije, in močnega povečanja subvencioniranega kitajskega uvoza.
However, the increase in sales volumes of the Union industry was accompanied by a significant decrease in average sales price, as well as in the Union industry’s market share.
Poleg tega je smiselno, da preteče nekaj časa, preden lahko proizvajalci Unije začutijo negativne učinke povečanega subvencioniranega uvoza (na primer izgube strank, nastanka izgube, zmanjšanja donosnosti naložb in denarnega toka itd.).
In view of the above, the investigation confirmed in particular the fact that the Union industry’s sales prices are below their production costs during the IP, thus having a negative effect on the Union industry’s profitability, reaching significant negative levels during the IP.
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
However, capacity developed positively between 2009 and the IP.
Komisija je analizirala tudi vmesna gibanja v obravnavanem obdobju.
In addition, although investments did decrease between 2009 and the IP, they increased between 2011 and the IP.
Dejstvo, da je bila industrija Unije leta 2011 dejansko še vedno dobičkonosna, čeprav se je v tem letu že povečal kitajski uvoz, ne vpliva na sklep, da je v OP škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, časovno sovpadala s povečevanjem subvencioniranega kitajskega uvoza.
At the same time, it is evident that the Union industry also needs to be able to produce and sell the high volumes of the more basic product types (which are currently in competition with the subsidised imports from the PRC) in order to dilute fixed costs and achieve economies of scale.
povečali tržni delež za 12,4 odstotnih točk v primerjavi z letom 2011, tržni delež industrije Unije pa se je zmanjšal za 12,3 odstotnih točk;
After disclosure, the GOC claimed that there is inconsistency in the Commission’s assessment as it stated that investments were mainly in R & D while it also argued that capacity was increased in the IP in anticipation of the increased demand.
povečali obseg kitajskega uvoza za več kot 35 % v primerjavi z 32-odstotnim zmanjšanjem prodaje industrije Unije; in
These statements are not inconsistent but complementary: the investments in new product types during the same period inevitably also lead to the increase in capacity.
dodatno znižali že zelo nizke izvozne cene za več kot 10 %, cene industrije Unije pa znižali za do 26,7 %, kar je prispevalo k izgubi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije v OP.
In addition, even though such investments indeed increase the costs of the Union industry, they are also an important indicator that the industry is doing its best to remain competitive.
Na podlagi zgornje analize Komisija sklepa, da sta prisotnost subvencioniranega uvoza in znatno povečanje njegovega tržnega deleža po cenah, ki so stalno nelojalno nižale prodajne cene industrije Unije, povzročila znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Consequently, it can be concluded that the Union industry not only suffered material injury during the IP, but also actively sought ways to reduce its exposure to the subsidised imports of the product concerned by developing innovative products which are not yet imported from the country concerned.
Učinki drugih dejavnikov
In the light of the foregoing, it is concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
E. CAUSATION
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
In accordance with Article 8(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the subsidised imports from the country concerned have caused injury to the Union industry to a degree that may be considered as material.
Preglednica 11
Effect of the subsidised imports
Vir: združenje Steklo za Evropo in pritožnik
The investigation showed that subsidised imports increased over the period considered, increasing their volumes by 596 % and their market share by 366 %.
Tretje države
Therefore, it is confirmed that both the volume and market share of imports for the product concerned increased considerably during the period considered.
Obseg (m2)
There was a clear coincidence in time between the increase in subsidised imports and the loss of market share of the Union industry.
Povprečna cena v EUR/m2
In other words: imports grew considerably faster than the Union market and Union producers lost market share to Chinese subsidised imports.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 46 % v skladu s povečanjem potrošnje Unije.
The investigation also established that as mentioned in Section D.4.2 above, the subsidised imports undercut the prices of the Union industry during the IP.
Njegov tržni delež se je v OP nekoliko zmanjšal v primerjavi z letom 2011 (za 3,7 %), vendar je v obravnavanem obdobju na splošno ostal nespremenjen.
The investigation showed that the prices of the subsidised imports decreased by 27,2 % during the period considered and led to even higher differences between the prices of the Union producers and those of the exporting producers.
Drugi največji izvoznik za LRK je Turčija, sledi pa ji Indija.
Against this significant price pressure, the Union industry underwent considerable effort to decrease its production costs.
Razpoložljive informacije v zvezi z uvozom iz vseh tretjih držav kažejo, da je bila povprečna uvozna cena višja od povprečne kitajske uvozne cene.
Despite these efforts the exceptionally low level of Chinese import prices forced the Union industry to further decrease its sales price to unprofitable levels.
To velja tudi za ceno na enoto po posameznih vrstah zadevnega izdelka.
After the start-up phase in 2009, the Union producers achieved stable profit levels in 2010 and 2011.
Po drugi strani je bila povprečna uvozna cena tretjih držav podobna ali višja od povprečne cene industrije Unije.
During the IP, however, Union producers recorded significant losses.
Na podlagi nizkega splošnega obsega uvoza in tržnih deležev tretjih držav ter njihove ravni cen Komisija sklepa, da zaradi uvoza iz tretjih držav ni bila prekinjena vzročna zveza med subvencioniranim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
After disclosure, several interested parties contested the Commission’s conclusion that there is a causal link between the material injury suffered by the Union industry and the subsidised imports from the PRC.
Izvoz industrije Unije
They claimed that there is no coincidence in time between the injury and the increased imports from the country concerned.
Obseg izvoza vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
This is due to the fact that between 2009 and 2011 Chinese imports increased significantly.
Preglednica 12
Furthermore, the average price of Chinese imports in 2011 was 4,96 EUR/m2, an amount near to that of 2012 (4,38 EUR/m2).
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije
The same parties contended that the conclusion that the injury suffered by the Union industry should be attributed to the Chinese imports in 2012 is at odds with its findings that the Chinese imports had allegedly no negative impact the year before, even though the average import price was very similar.
Vir: izpolnjeni vprašalniki proizvajalcev Unije
The parties also claimed that the coincidence in time between the material injury suffered and the subsidised Chinese imports cannot be assessed on the basis of the whole period considered from 2009 to the end of the IP, without taking into account the intervening trends observed during this period.
Vrednost izvoza (1000 EUR)
From the start of the period considered to the end of the IP, imports rose by 596 %, with an increase by 321 % in their market share.
Obseg izvoza (1000 m2)
Import prices dropped by 27,2 % over the period considered.
Povprečna cena (EUR/m2)
It is correct that the Union industry’s profit margin in 2011 was only slightly lower than in 2010, despite the high increase of imports from the PRC already in 2011.
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije se je med letoma 2009 in 2011 povečal, vendar sta se v OP nenadoma zmanjšala njegova vrednost (za 74 %) in njegov obseg (71,9 %).
However during 2011 the Union consumption of solar glass increased significantly, that is to say by 20,4 % between 2010 and 2011, while imports from the PRC increased by 150 % over the same period.
Na podlagi izpolnjenih vprašalnikov vzorčenih kitajskih izvoznikov se zdi, da je to posledica zelo nizkih cen kitajskega izvoza v glavne namembne kraje za izvoz industrije Unije (tj. ZDA in Kanada).
In the IP, whereas consumption indeed dropped by slightly more than 19 %, the volume of Chinese imports further increased by more than 35 %.
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije je leta 2009 zajemal 20 % celotnega obsega prodaje (v zagonski fazi), leta 201011 %, v koničnem letu 2011 pa le 14 %.
This clearly shows the coincidence in time between the material injury suffered by the Union industry in the IP and the strong increase of the subsidised Chinese imports.
Leta 2012 se je nadalje zmanjšal za 5 %.
Also, logically it takes some time before some of the negative effects of the increased subsidised imports are felt by the Union producers (for example loss of clients, incur of losses, reduction of return on investments and cash flow, etc.).
Trg Unije, ki je eden od največjih na svetu, je glavni trg za industrijo Unije, in ne trgi tretjih držav.
Therefore, the claim is rejected.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da je solarno steklo relativno težko in krhko, pomeni dodatne stroške pri prevozu na daljših razdaljah (zaradi lomljivosti in korozije).
The Commission also analysed the intervening trends during the period considered.
Preiskava je prav tako potrdila, da je vzrok za zmanjšan izvoz predvsem konkuriranje poceni kitajskemu izvozu tudi na trgih tretjih držav.
The fact that indeed in 2011 the Union industry was still profitable, even though Chinese imports already increased in that year, does not affect the conclusion that in the IP there was a coincidence in time between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the continuing increase in subsidised Chinese imports.
Zato Komisija ne more sklepati, da je zmanjšan izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije prekinil vzročno zvezo med subvencioniranim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
In the IP, whereas consumption dropped by slightly more than 19 %, the Chinese exporting producers:
Po razkritju je več strani izpodbijalo ugotovitve Komisije, da je zmanjšanje izvoza vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije v OP najverjetneje posledica zelo nizkih cen kitajskega izvoza v glavne namembne kraje za izvoz industrije Unije (tj. ZDA in Kanada).
increased their market share by 12,4 percentage points compared to 2011 while the Union industry’s market share dropped by 12,3 percentage points;
Zato so strani trdile, da je zmanjšan izvoz industrije Unije v OP dodatno prispeval k nastali škodi.
increased the volumes of Chinese imports by more than 35 % against a drop of 32 % in the sales of the Union industry; and
Komisija zavrača te trditve iz naslednjih razlogov.
reduced further their already very low export prices by more than 10 % and undercut the Union industry prices by up to 26,7 % thereby contributing to the losses suffered by the Union industry in the IP.
Glavni trg za industrijo Unije je dejansko trg Unije in ne trgi tretjih držav.
Based on the above analysis, the Commission concludes that the presence of subsidised imports and the considerable increase of their market share at prices constantly undercutting those of the Union industry caused the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Poleg tega je mogoče dodatne stroške, nastale pri daljšem prevozu (zaradi loma in korozije), nadomestiti le, če je raven cen v tretjih državah dovolj visoka.
Effects of other factors
Vendar dozdevno ni tako.
Imports from third countries
Iste strani so trdile tudi, da se je preiskava nanašala na trg Unije in ni vključevala ocene domnevno nepoštenega določanja cen na trgih tretjih držav.
The volume of imports from other third countries developed as follows over the period considered:
Poleg tega so ugotovitve institucij EU, tudi če so bile pravilne, škodo, ki so jo povzročili drugi dejavniki, domnevno pripisale subvencioniranemu uvozu v Unijo.
Table 11
Zato domnevni poceni ali subvencioniran kitajski izvoz v tretje države ni bil subvencionirani uvoz v EU, pri čemer se je kot tak uvrstil med druge dejavnike, škodljivih učinkov katerih ni mogoče pripisati subvencioniranemu uvozu.
Imports from third countries (1000 m2)
Komisija zavrača to trditev.
Source: Glass for Europe and the complaint.
Ni proučila, ali so cene uvoza LRK v tretje države dampinške in/ali subvencionirane.
Third Countries
Na podlagi cen izvoza v tretje države, ki so jih predložili vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki, je zgolj ugotovila, da so se te cene v zadnjih letih stalno zniževale.
Volume (m2)
Podobno je Komisija analizirala znižanje cen uvoza iz LRK v tretje države kot ločen dejavnik in ga ni pripisala subvencioniranemu uvozu v Unijo.
Average price EUR/m2
To dejstvo je bilo dejansko uporabljeno le kot možna razlaga za zmanjšan izvoz industrije Unije v glavne namembne kraje tretjih držav glede na to, da ti trgi niso in nikoli niso bili glavni trgi za industrijo Unije.
The volume of imports from other third countries during the period considered increased by 46 %, in line with increase in Union consumption.
Celo v koničnih letih 2010 in 2011 je bilo več kot 85 % prodaje industrije Unije izvedene na trgu Unije.
