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.
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 oslabil tudi njen finančni položaj.
The analysis of the situation of the Union industry shows a clear downward trend of most of the injury indicators.
Analiza položaja industrije Unije kaže očitno negativno gibanje večine kazalnikov škode.
Against a generally increasing consumption, overall production increased in the period considered.
Splošna proizvodnja se je ob splošno naraščajoči potrošnji v obravnavanem obdobju povečala.
Although the volume of sales increased, the market share of the Union industry shrank in the IP in the background of the higher rate of increase of consumption during the period considered.
Čeprav se je obseg prodaje povečal, se je tržni delež industrije Unije v OP zmanjšal zaradi močnejšega povečanja potrošnje v obravnavanem obdobju.
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.
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.
Over the period considered, the overall Union industry's sales volume increased.
Celotni obseg prodaje industrije Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal.
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.
Vendar pa je povečanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije spremljalo izredno znižanje povprečnih prodajnih cen ter tržnega deleža industrije Unije.
In view of the above, the investigation confirmed in particular the fact that the Union industry's sales prices are below their production costs, thus having a negative effect on the Union industry's profitability, reaching significant negative levels during the IP.
Glede na navedeno je preiskava zlasti potrdila dejstvo, da so prodajne cene industrije Unije nižje od proizvodnih stroškov, kar je imelo negativni učinek na dobičkonosnost industrije Unije, ki je v OP dosegla znatno negativne ravni.
However, capacity developed positively between 2009 and the IP.
Vendar se je zmogljivost med letom 2009 in OP pozitivno razvijala.
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 dumped imports from the PRC) in order to dilute fixed costs and achieve economies of scale.
Hkrati je očitno, da bi morala biti industrija Unije prav tako sposobna proizvesti in prodati veliko količino osnovnejših vrst izdelkov (ki trenutno konkurirajo dampinškemu uvozu iz LRK), da bi lahko zmanjšala fiksne stroške in dosegla ekonomijo obsega.
Consequently, it can be concluded that the Union industry not only suffered material injury during the IP, but also actively sought ways to reduce of its exposure to the dumped imports of the product concerned whereby developing innovative products which are not yet imported from the country concerned.
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 dampinškemu uvozu zadevnega izdelka, tj. z razvojem inovativnih izdelkov, ki se še ne uvažajo iz zadevne države.
In accordance with Article 3(6) and (7) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the dumped imports from the country concerned have caused injury to the Union industry to a degree that may be considered as material.
V skladu s členom 3(6) in (7) osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali je dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil škodo za industrijo Unije v tolikšni meri, da jo je mogoče šteti za znatno.
Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Union industry, were also examined in order to ensure that the possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Poleg dampinškega 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 dampinškemu uvozu.
The investigation showed that dumped imports increased dramatically over the period considered, increasing their volumes significantly by 596 % and their market share by 366 %.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je dampinški uvoz v obravnavanem obdobju močno povečal, tj. za 596 %, njegov tržni delež pa za 366 %.
The investigation also established that as mentioned in recital (89) above, the dumped imports undercut the prices of the Union industry during the IP.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno tudi, da je dampinški uvoz v OP nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (89).
The investigation showed that the prices of the dumped imports decreased by 27,2 % during the period considered and led to higher undercutting margins.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so se cene dampinškega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za 27,2 %, zaradi česar se je povečala stopnja nelojalnega nižanja cen.
Against this extreme price pressure, the Union industry underwent considerable effort to decrease its production costs.
Zaradi tega izrednega cenovnega pritiska je morala industrija Unije vložiti veliko truda v zmanjševanje svojih proizvodnih stroškov.
Based on the above, it is provisionally concluded that the presence of dumped imports and the massive increase of their market share at prices constantly undercutting those of the Union industry have had a determining role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Na podlagi navedenega se začasno sklene, da sta prisotnost dampinškega uvoza in izredno povečanje njegovega tržnega deleža po cenah, ki so stalno nelojalno nižale prodajne cene industrije Unije, odločilno vplivala na znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The volume of imports from other third countries developed as follows over the period considered:
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Imports from third countries (1000 m2)
uvoz iz tretjih držav (1000 m2)

Vir: združenje Glass for Europe in pritožnik.

Povprečna cena v EUR/m2
The volume of imports from other third countries during the period considered increased by 46 %, in line with increase in Union consumption.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 46 % v skladu s povečanjem potrošnje Unije.
Their market share slightly decreased during the IP in comparison with 2011 (3,5 %) but overall it remained stable over the period considered.
Njegov tržni delež se je v OP nekoliko zmanjšal v primerjavi z letom 2011 (za 3,5 %), vendar je v obravnavanem obdobju na splošno ostal nespremenjen.
Turkey is the second largest exporter after the PRC, followed by India.
Drugi največji izvoznik za LRK je Turčija, sledi pa ji Indija.
The information available as regards imports from all third countries shows that the average import price was higher than the average Chinese import price.
Razpoložljive informacije v zvezi z uvozom iz vseh tretjih držav kažejo, da je bila povprečna uvozna cena višja od povprečne kitajske uvozne cene.
This is also valid for unit price per particular types of the product concerned.
To velja tudi za ceno na enoto po posameznih vrstah zadevnega izdelka.
On the other hand, the third countries’ average import price was similar or higher than the Union industry’s average price.
Po drugi strani je bila povprečna uvozna cena tretjih držav podobna ali višja od povprečne cene industrije Unije.
On these grounds, in particular in view of the import volumes and market shares from third countries as well as their price levels, it can be provisionally concluded that third country imports could not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Na podlagi tega je mogoče zlasti glede obsega uvoza in tržnih deležev iz tretjih držav ter njihove ravni cen začasno skleniti, da zaradi uvoza iz tretjih držav ni bila prekinjena vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The volume of exports of the sampled Union producers developed as follows over the period considered:
Obseg izvoza vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Export performance of the sampled Union producers
izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije
Export sales value (1000 EUR)
Vrednost izvoza (1000 EUR)
Export sales volume (1000 m2)
Obseg izvoza (1000 m2)
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.
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije se je med letoma 2009 in 2011 povečal, vendar sta se v OP nenadoma zmanjšala njegova vrednost, tj. za 74 %, in njegov obseg, tj. za 71,9 %.
Based on the replies of the sampled Chinese exporters, this is most probably due to very low prices of Chinese exports to the Union industry's major destinations of exports (i.e. US, Canada).
Na podlagi izpolnjenih vprašalnikov vzorčenih kitajskih izvoznikov je to najverjetneje posledica zelo nizkih cen kitajskega izvoza v glavne namembne kraje za izvoz industrije Unije (tj. ZDA in Kanada).
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 %.
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije je leta 2009 zajemal 20 % celotnega obsega prodaje (v zagonski fazi), leta 2010 11 %, v koničnem letu 2011 pa le 14 %.
2012 showed a further decrease to 5 % when they entered in competition with Chinese low price exports to major third country destinations.
Leta 2012 se je dodatno zmanjšal na 5 %, ko se je srečal s konkurenčnim nizkocenovnim kitajskim izvozom v glavne namembne tretje države.
Consequently, as the Union market is the main market for the Union industry, also because solar glass is relatively heavy and fragile, which translates into additional costs when transported over a distance (due to breakage and corrosion), it cannot be concluded at this stage that the deteriorated export performance of the sampled Union producers breaks the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Ker je trg Unije glavni trg za industrijo Unije, tudi zato, ker je solarno steklo relativno težko in krhko, kar povzroča dodatne stroške pri prevozu na daljših razdaljah (zaradi lomljivosti in korozije), v tej fazi ni mogoče sklepati, da je bila zaradi zmanjšanega izvoza vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije prekinjena vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Development of consumption
Gibanje potrošnje
As mentioned above, the Union consumption increased between 2009 and the IP by 49 %.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, se je potrošnja Unije med letom 2009 in OP povečala za 49 %.
Its market share fell constantly during the period considered reaching a drop of 25 % during the IP in comparison with 2009 (– 14,1 % in comparison with 2011).
Njen tržni delež se je v obravnavanem obdobju stalno zmanjševal in v OP dosegel padec v višini 25 % v primerjavi z letom 2009 (– 14,1 % v primerjavi z letom 2011).
On the contrary, the Chinese market share was increasing sharply, even when consumption fell between 2011 and IP, resulting in an increase by 64,8 % between 2011 and the IP and an overall increase by 366 % during the whole period.
Nasprotno se je kitajski tržni delež strmo povečeval, tudi ko se je med letom 2011 in OP zmanjšala potrošnja, tako da se je med letom 2011 in OP povečal za 64,8 %, v celotnem obdobju pa na splošno za 366 %.
The increase of Chinese imports was a massive 596 % during the period considered.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je kitajski uvoz povečal za izrednih 596 %.
As the Union consumption increased in the period considered, its development is such that reinforces the causal link between the increasing dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry and it is not itself a cause of injury to the Union industry.
Ker se je potrošnja v Uniji v obravnavanem obdobju povečala, njeno gibanje krepi vzročno zvezo med naraščajočim dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in sama po sebi ni vzrok za škodo industriji Unije.
In addition, even in the IP, when consumption decreased, Chinese dumped imports were able to further increase their market share at the detriment of the Union industry.
Poleg tega je kitajskemu dampinškemu uvozu tudi v OP, ko se je potrošnja zmanjšala, uspelo dodatno povečati tržni delež v škodo industrije Unije.
Therefore, it can provisionally be concluded that the decrease in consumption in the IP could not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zato je mogoče začasno skleniti, da zaradi zmanjšanja potrošnje v OP ni bila prekinjena vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Trends in solar modules
Trendi na področju solarnih modulov
According to the information at the Commission's disposal, around 80-85 % of solar glass sales are made to solar modules producers (Crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and thin-film photovoltaic modules), and around 15-20 % of the sales are made to producers of solar thermal flat plate collectors producing hot water.
Na podlagi informacij, ki jih ima na voljo Komisija, 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.
Consequently, the trends observed in solar modules have an important impact on the consumption of solar glass.
Zato gibanja na področju solarnih modulov bistveno vplivajo na potrošnjo solarnega stekla.
Consumption of solar modules increased constantly throughout the same period, i.e. 2009-2012, and even though there was a decrease in 2012, the level of consumption remained 221 % higher than in 2009 and 44 % higher than in 2010 [5].
Potrošnja solarnih modulov se je v istem obdobju, tj. 2009‒2012, stalno povečevala in je kljub zmanjšanju leta 2012 ohranila za 221 % višjo raven kot leta 2009 in za 44 % višjo kot leta 2010 [5].
In addition, it was established that while demand for modules in the Union was initially generated by the feed-in-tariffs (FITs), it could not be concluded that the FITs cutbacks (at the end of 2011, beginning of 2012) had broken the causal link between dumped imports and injury [6].
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da so povpraševanje po modulih v Uniji sicer sprva ustvarile tarife za dovajanje toka, vendar ni bilo mogoče skleniti, da so znižanja teh tarif (ob koncu leta 2011 in začetku leta 2012) prekinila vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodo [6].
This was due to the fact that demand for solar modules remained relatively high over the same period 2009-2012.
To je bila posledica dejstva, da je povpraševanje po solarnih modulih v istem obdobju, tj. 2009‒2012, ohranilo relativno visoko raven.
Consequently, the level of consumption of solar modules, and as a result the demand of solar glass, remained high during the period considered.
Zato sta potrošnja solarnih modulov in posledično povpraševanje po solarnem steklu v obravnavanem obdobju ostala na visoki ravni.
Its slight decrease in 2012 cannot be regarded on its own as a factor such as to break the causal link established between the dumped imports from the PRC and the material injury by the Union industry.
Rahlega zmanjšanja potrošnje leta 2012 samega po sebi ni mogoče obravnavati kot dejavnika za prekinitev vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo za industrijo Unije.
Other possible causes of injury, such as imports from other third countries, consumption and the market situation of some of their users such as solar modules were analysed 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.
Drugi morebitni vzroki za škodo, kot so uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, potrošnja in položaj na trgu nekaterih uporabnikov, npr. solarnih modulov, so bili analizirani posamezno in skupaj in ugotovljeno je bilo, da nobeden ni tak, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Based on the above analysis, which has properly distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports, it is therefore provisionally concluded that the dumped imports from the country concerned have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgornje analize, ki je pravilno razlikovala in ločila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza, je bilo zato začasno sklenjeno, da je dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil znatno škodo za industrijo Unije v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether, despite the provisional conclusion on injurious dumping, compelling reasons existed for concluding that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this particular case.
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je Komisija proučila, ali so kljub začasnemu sklepu o škodljivem dampingu obstajali tehtni razlogi, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem primeru ni bilo v interesu Unije.
The analysis of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers, raw materials suppliers and users of the product concerned.
Analiza interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov, dobaviteljev surovin in uporabnikov zadevnega izdelka.
The Union industry directly employed about 860 people in the IP in the production and sale of the like product.
Industrija Unije je v OP neposredno zaposlovala približno 860 ljudi v proizvodnji in prodaji podobnega izdelka.
Some Union producers were already forced to close down their production facilities while some others have faced insolvency.
Nekateri proizvajalci Unije so že bili prisiljeni zapreti svoje proizvodne obrate, medtem ko so se nekateri drugi soočili z nesolventnostjo.
It is expected that the imposition of anti-dumping duties will restore fair trade conditions on the Union market, allowing the Union industry to align the prices of the like product to reflect the costs of production thus improving its profitability.
Pričakuje se, da se bodo z uvedbo protidampinških dajatev znova vzpostavili pravični pogoji trgovanja na trgu Unije, kar bo industriji Unije omogočilo uskladitev cen podobnega izdelka s stroški proizvodnje in tako izboljšalo njeno dobičkonosnost.
It can also be expected that the imposition of measures would enable the Union industry to regain at least part of the market share lost during the period considered, with a positive impact on its overall financial situation.
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.
Moreover, the Union industry should be able to have better access to capital and to further invest in R&D and innovation in the solar glass market.
Poleg tega bi morala industrija Unije imeti boljši dostop do kapitala in možnost, da še naprej vlaga v raziskave in razvoj ter inovacije na trgu solarnega stekla.
Finally, it is likely that the Union producers who were forced to cease production as a result of the pressure of the Chinese dumped imports might restart their business activity.
Prav tako bodo proizvajalci Unije, ki so morali ustaviti proizvodnjo zaradi pritiska kitajskega dampinškega uvoza, verjetno lahko ponovno začeli izvajati poslovne dejavnosti.
Overall, under this scenario, not only the existing jobs would be secured, but there would also be a reasonable prospect for further production expansion and increase in employment.
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.
Should measures not be imposed, further losses in the market share are expected with a further deterioration of the Union industry’s profitability.
Če ukrepi ne bodo uvedeni, je pričakovati nadaljnje izgube tržnega deleža, dobičkonosnost industrije Unije pa bi se nadalje poslabšala.
As a consequence, in addition to the large number of the Union producers that were already forced out of the market, other producers could be facing insolvency which would in the short to medium term lead to a likely disappearance of the Union industry with the consequent significant impact of the existing jobs.
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.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of the anti-dumping duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Zato se začasno sklene, da bi bila uvedba protidampinških dajatev v interesu industrije Unije.
For the two cooperating importers the major business activity consisted of trading the product concerned.
Trgovanje z zadevnim izdelkom je bila glavna poslovna dejavnost za dva sodelujoča uvoznika.
Both of them had diversified sources of the product concerned, i.e. they were not only sourcing from the PRC, but also from the Union and third countries.
Oba sta zadevni izdelek dobavljala iz različnih virov, tj. izdelka nista uvažala le iz LRK, ampak tudi iz Unije in tretjih držav.
Secondly, although it can be expected that the imposition of measures may have a negative effect on the financial situation of the importers importing only or mainly from the PRC, in view of the possibility to source from third countries, the importers can be expected to be flexible and shift their sources of supply if deemed necessary.
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.
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of measures at the proposed level may have a certain negative impact on the situation of unrelated importers of the product concerned, but that its impact is mitigated by the fact that importers and traders can use other sources of supply, both from third countries and the Union industry, the latter having the capacity to increase its production, and in any case it would not weight out the positive impact on other parties.
Zato se začasno 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.
