Their market share slightly decreased during the IP in comparison with 2011 (3,7 %) but overall it remained stable over the period considered.
Zato Komisija sklepa, da zmanjšan izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije ni prekinil vzročne zveze med subvencioniranim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Turkey is the second largest exporter after the PRC, followed by India.
Gibanje potrošnje in razvoj zmogljivosti
This is also valid for unit price per particular types of the product concerned.
Njena celotna prodaja se je do leta 2011 znatno povečala, vendar se je povečevala počasneje od trga.
On the other hand, the third countries’ average import price was similar or higher than the Union industry’s average price.
Nato se je v OP tudi na splošno zmanjšala.
In view of the low overall import volumes and market shares from third countries as well as their price levels, the Commission concludes that third country imports could not break the causal link between the subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Njen tržni delež se je v obravnavanem obdobju stalno zmanjševal in v OP dosegel padec v višini 25,7 % v primerjavi z letom 2009 (–15,8 % v primerjavi z letom 2011).
Export performance of the Union industry
Nasprotno sta se kitajski tržni delež in obseg prodaje znatno povečala, tudi ko se je med letom 2011 in OP zmanjšala potrošnja, pri čemer se je med letom 2011 in OP povečal za 68,4 %, v celotnem obdobju pa na splošno za 321 %.
The volume of exports of the sampled Union producers developed as follows over the period considered:
V obravnavanem obdobju se je kitajski uvoz povečal za 596 %.
Export performance of the sampled Union producers
Poleg tega je kitajskemu subvencioniranemu uvozu tudi v OP, ko se je potrošnja zmanjšala, uspelo dodatno povečati tržni delež v škodo industrije Unije.
Source: questionnaire replies of the Union producers.
Po razkritju je več strani trdilo, da je škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povzročilo zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije.
Export sales value (1000 EUR)
To je domnevno edini dejavnik, ki naj bi se prvič zmanjšal leta 2012, in ki ga je mogoče razumno povezati s škodo, čeprav se je kitajski uvoz že leta 2011 začel izvajati po cenah, primerljivih s cenami leta 2012.
Export sales volume (1000 m2)
Dejansko se je potrošnja leta 2012 zmanjšala v primerjavi s prejšnjimi leti.
Average price (EUR/m2)
Vendar analiza Komisije zajema obdobje od začetka leta 2009 do konca OP, v tem obdobju pa se je potrošnja Unije na splošno povečala za 65 %.
Export sales of the sampled Union producers increased between 2009 and 2011, but dropped suddenly in the IP by 74 % in value and by 71,9 % in volume.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je tržni delež industrije Unije stalno in znatno zmanjševal, in sicer na splošno za 25,7 %, tržni delež kitajskega uvoza pa se je povečal za 321 %.
Based on the replies of the sampled Chinese exporters, this appears to be due to very low prices of Chinese exports to the Union industry’s major destinations of exports (namely, US, Canada).
Poleg tega je bila potrošnja Unije v OP še vedno na ravni, primerljivi z letom 2010, ko je, kot je prikazano v preglednici 10, industrija Unije dosegla razumen dobiček.
Export sales of the sampled Union producers constituted 20 % of their total sales in volume in 2009 (in the start-up phase), during 2010 11 % and during the peak year of 2011 only 14 %.
Zato zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije v OP samo po sebi ni moglo povzročiti izgube, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije v OP.
2012 showed a further decrease to 5 %.
Poleg tega se je tržni delež industrije Unije med letoma 2010 in 2012 zmanjšal za 26,6 %, medtem ko se je tržni delež kitajskega uvoza v istem obdobju povečal za 318 %.
The Union market, being one of the largest in the world, is the main market for the Union industry and not third country markets.
Če naj bi zmanjšanje potrošnje v OP povzročilo škodo za industrijo Unije, potem bi moralo to zmanjšanje vplivati tudi na kitajski uvoz.
Also, the fact that solar glass is relatively heavy and fragile translates into additional costs when transported over a distance (due to breakage and corrosion).
Vendar očitno ni bilo tako.
The investigation also confirmed that the reduced export performance is mainly due to the competition with low priced Chinese exports also in third country markets.
Nasprotno, v OP se je znatno povečal obseg in tržni delež kitajskega uvoza.
After disclosure, several parties contested the Commission’s findings that the drop of export sales of the sampled Union producers during the IP was most probably due to very low prices of Chinese exports to the Union industry’s major destinations of exports (namely US, Canada).
Zato sklepa, da zaradi zmanjšanja potrošnje v OP ni bila prekinjena vzročna zveza med subvencioniranim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
They considered that this conclusion is unwarranted since Chinese exports were present also in 2011 and thus there is no reason why the impact should have occurred only in 2012.
Zato je Komisija prav tako menila, da visoka proizvodna zmogljivost industrije Unije, ki je bila visoka že na začetku obravnavanega obdobja in je ostala visoka v OP, ni prekinila vzročne zveze med subvencioniranim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
They were also of the view that the actual reason for their low export sales was the fact that the Union industry was not competitive and, when world market prices decreased, the Union industry could not remain competitive.
Po razkritju je več strani trdilo, da Komisija ni upoštevala domnevne presežne zmogljivosti kot pomembnega vzroka za škodo.
Consequently, the parties claimed that the drop in export sales of the Union industry during the IP further contributed to the injury suffered.
V obravnavanem obdobju povečanja zmogljivosti domnevno ni upravičevalo povečanje potrošnje, saj se je industrija Unije srečevala s stalno ogromno vrzeljo med proizvodno zmogljivostjo in potrošnjo, ki po mnenju zainteresiranih strani ni ekonomsko vzdržna.
The Commission rejects these claims for the following reasons.
Poleg tega so strani trdile, da je k nastali škodi prispevalo dejstvo, da je bil med letom 2011 in koncem OP na trgu prisoten nov udeleženec, saj je to povečalo domačo konkurenco.
The Union market is still the main market for the Union industry and not third country markets.
Strani so trdile tudi, da sta zmanjševanje potrošnje Unije in povečevanje proizvodne zmogljivosti v kombinaciji z zmanjšanjem izvoza povzročila slabo izkoriščenost zmogljivosti.
Also, the additional costs incurred when transported over a distance (due to breakage and corrosion) can be compensated, only if the price level in third countries is sufficiently high.
Ta slaba izkoriščenost zmogljivosti je povzročila visoke fiksne stroške, ki so po njihovem mnenju močno prizadeli industrijo solarnega stekla v Uniji.
This seems not to be the case.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je bila raven zmogljivosti celotne industrije Unije višja od skupne potrošnje Unije v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
Indeed, on the basis of the information at the Commission’s disposal from the questionnaire replies of the sampled exporting producers, the prices of the Chinese exports to the Union industry’s main export destinations were indeed very low and decreased even further during the IP in comparison with 2011.
Vendar to vzorčenim družbam industrije Unije ni preprečilo doseganja dobička v dveh letih pred OP, čeprav so zgolj v OP utrpele znatno škodo, tj. –14,5 %.
This shows that the reduced export performance of the Union industry is mainly due to the increasingly low priced Chinese exports, also in third country markets as confirmed during the investigation.
Poleg tega se je zmogljivost vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije med letoma 2010 in 2011 povečala le za 4 %, med letom 2011 in OP pa za 2,6 %, kar je povzročilo zmerno splošno povečanje za 6,7 % med letom 2010 in OP.
The same parties also claimed that the investigation concerned the Union market and did not assess any alleged unfair pricing in third country markets.
Zato je bila razlika med potrošnjo in zmogljivostjo prisotna skozi celotno obravnavano obdobje in, čeprav je bila v OP nekoliko večja, ne more pojasniti velike izgube, ki so jo v OP utrpele vzorčene družbe.
In addition, the findings by the EU institutions, even assuming they were correct, allegedly attributed injury caused by other factors to the subsidised imports into the Union.
Zato Komisija zavrača trditev, da raven zmogljivosti industrije Unije ni ekonomsko vzdržna.
Thus the alleged low-priced or subsidised Chinese exports to third countries were not the subsidised imports into the EU and, as such, qualified as another factor, the injurious effects of which could not be attributed to the subsidised imports.
V zvezi z argumentom, da je novi udeleženec na trgu leta 2012 prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, Komisija ugotavlja, da je imel novi udeleženec, čeprav je vgradil visoko zmogljivost, zelo omejen obseg proizvodnje in prodaje, tj. 2 % skupne prodaje EU v OP.
The Commission rejects this claim.
Zato njegova udeležba skorajda ni vplivala na uspešnost industrije Unije kot celote, vendar je bistveno povečala njeno zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti.
It did not investigate whether prices of imports of the PRC to third countries are dumped and/or subsidised.
Brez podatkov te družbe se je zmogljivost vseh drugih proizvajalcev Unije med letoma 2011 in 2012 dejansko zmanjšala.
It merely established, on the basis of export prices to third countries which were submitted by the sampled exporting producers, that those prices have been constantly decreasing in the recent years.
Preiskava prav tako ni potrdila, da industrijo solarnega stekla resno ogrožajo fiksni stroški.
In the same vein, the Commission analysed the price decrease of the imports from the PRC to third countries as a separate factor and did not attribute it to the subsidised imports into the Union.
Dejanski fiksni stroški vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije so se gibali med 25 in 35 % skupnih stroškov proizvodnje v OP.
Indeed, this fact was only used as a possible explanation for the reduced Union industry’s exports to its main third countries destinations in the context of the fact that those markets were not and have never been the main markets for the Union industry.
V prejšnjih letih 2010 in 2011 je bil odstotek fiksnih stroškov rahlo nižji, vendar še vedno v istem razponu.
Even in its peak years 2010 and 2011, more than 85 % of the Union industry sales were sold on the Union market.
To jasno kaže, da je visoka zmogljivost v OP očitno vplivala na stroške proizvodnje, vendar njen učinek ni bil močan in ne more pojasniti velike izgube v OP, zlasti v primerjavi z doseženim dobičkom iz prejšnjih let.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the deteriorated export performance of the sampled Union producers cannot break the causal link between the subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Poleg tega je bila stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije nizka v primerjavi s prejšnjimi leti, vendar je v OP še vedno znašala 65 %.
It had its peak in 2011 when it increased by 105 % in comparison with 2009.
Na podlagi navedenega Komisija zavrača trditve strani in znova poudarja, da gibanje potrošnje ter spremembe zmogljivosti in izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti v obravnavanem obdobju, ki so bili analizirani ločeno in skupaj, niso prekinili vzročne zveze med znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in subvencioniranim uvozom.
However, the Union industry could not fully benefit from this increase in consumption.
Trendi na področju solarnih modulov
Its overall sales increased significantly until 2011, but grew slower than the market.
Na podlagi informacij, ki so na voljo Komisiji [20], se približno 80–85 % solarnega stekla proda proizvajalcem solarnih modulov (fotonapetostni moduli in tankoslojni fotonapetostni moduli iz kristalnega silicija), približno 15–20 % pa proizvajalcem ravnih solarnih termalnih kolektorjev, ki proizvajajo toplo vodo.
They then decreased also in overall terms during the IP.
Zato gibanja na področju solarnih modulov bistveno vplivajo na potrošnjo solarnega stekla.
Its market share constantly fell during the period considered reaching a drop of 25,7 % during the IP in comparison with 2009 (– 15,8 % in comparison with 2011).
To je bila posledica dejstva, da je povpraševanje po solarnih modulih v istem obdobju, tj. 2009–2012, ohranilo relativno visoko raven.
On the contrary, both the Chinese market share and sales volume increased significantly, even when consumption fell between 2011 and IP, resulting in an increase of 68,4 % between 2011 and the IP and an overall increase of 321 % during the whole period.
Zato sta potrošnja solarnih modulov in posledično tudi povpraševanje po solarnem steklu v obravnavanem obdobju ostala na visoki ravni.
The increase of Chinese imports was 596 % during the period considered.
Rahlega zmanjšanja potrošnje leta 2012 samega po sebi ni mogoče obravnavati kot dejavnika za prekinitev vzročne zveze med subvencioniranim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo za industrijo Unije.
As the Union consumption increased in the period considered, its development is such that reinforces the causal link between the increasing subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry and it is not itself a cause of injury to the Union industry.
Ker je bila raven povpraševanja po solarnih modulih v obdobju 2009–2012 še vedno sorazmerno visoka, povpraševanje po solarnem steklu pa se je v istem obdobju povečalo za 65 %, podobno velja, da učinka slabšanja finančnega položaja proizvajalcev solarnih modulov konec leta 2011/na začetku leta 2012 na potrošnjo solarnega stekla samega po sebi ni mogoče šteti za dejavnik, ki prekinja vzročno zvezo med subvencioniranim uvozom solarnega stekla iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
In addition, even in the IP, when consumption decreased, Chinese subsidised imports were able to further increase their market share to the detriment of the Union industry.
Na podlagi tega Komisija potrjuje, da gibanja potrošnje solarnih modulov samega po sebi ni mogoče šteti za dejavnik, ki prekinja vzročno zvezo med subvencioniranim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
After disclosure, several parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was due to the drop in Union consumption.
Preiskava je pokazala vzročno zvezo med znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in subvencioniranim uvozom iz LRK.
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.
Komisija je analizirala druge morebitne vzroke za škodo, kot so uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, izvoz industrije Unije, spremembe vzorcev potrošnje in proizvodne zmogljivosti ali položaj na trgu nekaterih uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
Indeed, in 2012 consumption dropped in comparison with the previous years.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da nobeden od morebitnih vzrokov, ki so bili analizirani ločeno in skupaj, ni takšen, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med subvencioniranim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
However, the Commission’s analysis runs from the start of the period in 2009 considered to the end of the IP and in this period Union consumption increased in overall by 65 %.
Na podlagi navedene analize, ki je ustrezno razlikovala in ločila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije od škodljivih učinkov subvencioniranega uvoza, se sklene, da je subvencionirani uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije v smislu člena 8(6) osnovne uredbe.
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 %.
Več proizvajalcev solarnega stekla v Uniji je po OP javno napovedalo ustavitev proizvodnih dejavnosti, kar je znatno operativno zmogljivost neizogibno preusmerilo v mirovanje.
In addition, in the IP the Union consumption was still at a comparable level as in 2010, while, as indicated in table 10 above, 2010 was the year when the Union industry achieved a reasonable profit.
To nadalje krepi zgoraj ugotovljeno vzročno zvezo in kaže uničujoč učinek, ki ga je subvencionirani uvoz imel na industrijo Unije.
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.
F. INTERES UNIJE
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.
V skladu s členom 31 osnovne uredbe je Komisija proučila, ali sprejetje ukrepov, kljub sklepu o škodljivi subvenciji, v tem primeru dejansko ni bilo v interesu Unije.
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.
Analiza interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov, dobaviteljev surovin in uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
However, this was clearly not the case.
Interes industrije Unije
On the contrary, during the IP the Chinese imports significantly increased both in volume and in market share.
Industrija Unije je v OP neposredno zaposlovala približno 860 ljudi v proizvodnji in prodaji podobnega izdelka.
In view of the above considerations, the Commission rejects this claim.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je industrija Unije v obdobju preiskave zaradi subvencioniranega uvoza iz zadevne države utrpela znatno škodo.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the decrease in consumption in the IP could not break the causal link between the subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Nekateri proizvajalci Unije so že bili prisiljeni zapreti svoje proizvodne obrate, medtem ko so se nekateri drugi soočili z nesolventnostjo [23].
Regarding the production capacity of the Union industry as set out in Table 4 above, its increase clearly followed the trend in the increase of Union consumption until the end of 2011.
Zelo verjetno je, da se bo brez ukrepov gospodarski položaj industrije Unije še poslabšal.
The investigation revealed that the main reason for the increase of the production capacity between 2011 and the IP with 12,5 % was the entry into the solar glass market of one company.
Pričakuje se, da se bodo z uvedbo protisubvencijskih dajatev odpravili učinki škodljivega subvencioniranja, ki izkrivljajo trgovino, in znova vzpostavila učinkovita konkurenca na trgu Unije, kar bo industriji Unije omogočilo uskladitev cen podobnega izdelka s stroški proizvodnje in tako izboljšalo njeno dobičkonosnost.
Production capacity of all other companies on the market slightly decreased during the same period.
Pričakuje se lahko tudi, da se bo z uvedbo ukrepov industriji Unije omogočila povrnitev vsaj dela tržnega deleža, ki ga je izgubila v obravnavanem obdobju, kar bi pozitivno vplivalo na njen celoten finančni položaj.
After disclosure, several parties argued that the Commission failed to take into account the alleged overcapacity as an important cause of injury.
Na splošno bi bila v tem scenariju zavarovana obstoječa delovna mesta, poleg tega pa bi obstajala tudi utemeljena možnost za nadaljnjo širitev proizvodnje in povečanje števila delovnih mest.
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.
Če ukrepi ne bodo uvedeni, je pričakovati nadaljnje izgube tržnega deleža, dobičkonosnost industrije Unije pa bi se nadalje poslabšala.
They 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.
To kratko- in srednjeročno ne bi bilo vzdržno.
The parties 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 velikega števila proizvajalcev Unije, ki so že bili prisiljeni zapustiti trg, bi zato lahko postali nesolventni tudi drugi proizvajalci, kar bi lahko kratko- do srednjeročno privedlo do verjetnega prenehanja obstoja industrije Unije in posledičnega znatnega vpliva na obstoječa delovna mesta.
This low utilisation rate caused high fixed costs, which, in their opinion, severely impacted the Union solar glass industry.
Zato se sklene, da bi bila uvedba protisubvencijskih dajatev v interesu industrije Unije.
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.
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov in trgovcev
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.
Trgovanje z zadevnim izdelkom je bila glavna poslovna dejavnost za dva sodelujoča uvoznika.
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.
Oba sta zadevni izdelek dobavljala iz različnih virov, tj. izdelka nista uvažala le iz LRK, ampak tudi iz Unije in tretjih držav.
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 in the IP.
Predložen je bil argument, da bo uvedba ukrepov za zadevni izdelek negativno vplivala na poslovne dejavnosti uvoznikov.
As a result, the Commission rejects the claim that the Union industry’s level of capacity is not economically viable.
Prvič, uvedba dajatev ne bi smela povzročiti ukinitve celotnega uvoza iz LRK.
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.
Drugič, čeprav se lahko pričakuje, da bi uvedba ukrepov lahko imela negativen vpliv na finančni položaj uvoznikov, ki uvažajo samo ali večinoma iz LRK, se lahko pričakuje tudi, da se bodo uvozniki zaradi verjetnega uvoza iz tretjih držav prilagodili in se po potrebi preusmerili na druge vire dobave.
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.
Zato se sklene, da bi uvedba predlagane ravni ukrepov lahko imela določen negativen vpliv na položaj nepovezanih uvoznikov zadevnega izdelka, vendar njen učinek zmanjšuje dejstvo, da lahko uvozniki in trgovci uporabljajo druge vire dobave, tako iz tretjih držav kot od industrije Unije, pri čemer lahko slednja poveča proizvodnjo, zato v nobenem primeru ne bi odtehtala pozitivnega učinka na druge strani.
Indeed, without this company’s data, the capacity of all other Union producers actually decreased between 2011 and 2012.
Interes dobaviteljev surovin
The investigation did not confirm either that the solar glass industry is severely impacted by fixed costs.
Pri preiskavi ni sodeloval noben dobavitelj surovin.
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.
Ker niso bili prejeti nobeni podatki od teh dobaviteljev, ni bilo dokazov, da bi uvedba ukrepov nasprotovala interesu teh strani.
In the preceding years 2010 and 2011, the percentage of fixed costs was slightly lower, but still within the same range.
