natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The Commission did take the product mix fully into account for the analysis of the third country imports by comparing the third country prices per product type with the corresponding Union prices per product type.
Ta navedek zato ni specifičen za podobni izdelek na trgu Unije.
Given that for the three third countries there is only one producer, no specific data could be disclosed for confidentiality reasons.
Kar zadeva navedek družbe Owens Corning za leto 2012, se ta nanaša posebej na dejavnost v zvezi s tkaninami, ki jo EOCF izvaja v enem od svojih obratov.
The government of the PRC claimed that the Commission's conclusion that a part of the third country imports may have affected the situation of the Union producers but did not break the causal link is not objective, nor based on a reasoned analysis.
Glede na to, da tkanine niso del podobnega izdelka, navedek ni relevanten.
The three main third countries that exported the like product to the Union were Malaysia, Norway and Turkey.
Ob upoštevanju navedenih okoliščin bi upad gospodarske rasti lahko negativno vplival na industrijo Unije, vendar ne v tolikšni meri, da bi lahko prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim in subvencioniranim uvozom ter škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
As already stated above, the Malaysian imports were focused on one product type with comparable price levels to the Union industry.
Konkurenčnost dampinškega in subvencioniranega uvoza iz LRK
The Norwegian producer is not considered to be third country competition for the reasons stated above.
Nekatere strani so trdile, da škode industriji Unije ne povzroča dampinški ali subvencionirani uvoz zadevnega izdelka, temveč uporabljena tehnologija, ki je v primerjavi s sodobno tehnologijo kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov zastarela.
The government of the PRC also claimed that the Commission neglected the effects of the imports from Taiwan and Mexico which show significant changes in prices and volumes.
Samopovzročena škoda
Given the limited volumes of imports from Taiwan and Mexico, these imports could not have broken the causal link.
Več strani je trdilo, da je bila lahko škoda samopovzročena, saj (i) so bile cene, ki so jih proizvajalci Unije ponujali leta 2014, nižje od kotiranih cen, ki so jih navedenim stranem ponudili kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki; (ii) so naložbe, ki so jih vložniki uresničevali v zadnjih letih, v nasprotju s škodo, saj si je ob tako velikih naložbah težko predstavljati, da industrija trpi škodo in da industriji Unije niso prinesle večjega tržnega deleža; (iii) so vložniki morda vlagali v prestrukturiranje in postavitev dodatnih zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo „napačnih“ izdelkov iz steklenih vlaken, na primer izdelkov, po katerih ni veliko povpraševanja, in ne na primer rezanih niti, po katerih je bilo po trditvah strani zelo veliko povpraševanje ter jih je v Uniji morda celo primanjkovalo.
In addition, the government of the PRC claimed that the Commission neglected in its analysis of Chinese stockpiling the fact that between 2010 and 2011 the third country imports increased with more than 40 %.
Kar zadeva velike naložbe industrije Unije v zadnjih letih, je treba spomniti, da je treba v tej kapitalsko intenzivni industriji peči na novo postaviti vsakih 7 do 10 let, stroški pri postavitvi peči pa lahko znašajo od 8 do 13 milijonov EUR (razpon je naveden zaradi zaupnosti).
The statistics (see recital 224) show that stockpiling of Chinese products took place in the second and third quarter of 2010 (for consumption before the end of 2010/beginning of 2011 due to the limited shelf life).
Dobršen del drugih, bolj strukturnih visokih stroškov naložb je povezan s porabo zlitin iz puš in posledično njihovo ponovno postavitvijo.
The increase in third country imports has been recorded in 2011, when the stockpiling effect had run out and when measures against imports from the PRC entered into force, which turned out to be beneficial for third country producers.
Zato so te naložbe del industrije in so nujne za vzdrževanje trenutne zmogljivosti.
Therefore this claim is rejected.
Nujne so tudi naložbe v raziskave in razvoj za ohranitev položaja na trgu ter izpolnjevanje potreb strank.
Cost of production
V zvezi s tretjo trditvijo o domnevno „napačnih“ naložbah v izdelke, ki niso rezane niti, je treba opozoriti, da (i) se je industrija Unije prestrukturirala, tako da lahko zagotavlja široko ponudbo izdelkov.
Several parties stated that the increase in the cost of production of the Union industry, mainly due to the increase in raw materials, energy, transportation and personnel costs impacted negatively the profitability of the Union industry.
Predložen ni bil noben dokaz o tem, da takšna vrsta prestrukturiranja ni gospodarsko upravičena;
One party also identified the failure of the customers to return bobbins as an important cost factor, without further developing the cost impact.
in (ii) proizvodnja rezanih niti, ki je bila zaradi prestrukturiranja v zadnjih letih prekinjena, je bila prenesena v drug proizvodni obrat, ki je bil predelan v ta namen.
They supported these claims by providing quotes from the Union producers that they were indeed facing cost increases.
Vlada LRK je trdila, da so si proizvajalci Unije ustvarjali zaloge uvoza iz tretjih držav, in se sklicevala na finančne izkaze enega od proizvajalcev Unije za leto 2011, v katerem je bilo navedeno:
The Union industry faced indeed cost increases in raw materials, energy, transportation and personnel cost.
„Zaloge blaga (21,4 milijona EUR na dan 31. decembra 2011) se povečujejo zaradi globalnega upada pri poslovanju v drugi polovici leta, pri čemer do 75 % zalog sestavljajo končni izdelki, ki smo jih uvozili od družb […][naše] skupine zunaj Evrope, preostali del pa predvsem materiali in izdelki, potrebni za proizvodnjo tkanin.“
Following the definitive disclosure, several parties reiterated their claims without bringing new arguments forward.
Vendar vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije v obravnavanem obdobju zadevnega izdelka niso kupovali v LRK.
Development of consumption
Vlada LRK je trdila tudi, da bi bila škoda lahko samopovzročena, saj se je proizvajalec Unije 3B Fibreglass odločil obnoviti zaloge za BASF leta 2011, ko je bila proizvodnja nezadostna.
As mentioned above, Union consumption increased by 3 % between 2010 and the IP.
Pri tem se je vlada sklicevala na finančne izkaze družbe 3B Fibreglass za leto 2011, v katerih je navedeno:
Consumption is expected to increase further given the new applications in which the like product is used, as was stated both by the Union industry and many users.
„za obnovitev zalog za BASF in premostitev popravila peči št. 2.“
However, the Union industry was not able to maintain its market share and it lost part of it, while dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC have been increasing their market share since 2011.
Vendar je zagotovitev zalog zaradi izpolnjevanja pogodbenih obveznosti do ključnih strank popolnoma običajna poslovna praksa.
Therefore, the changes in consumption in the Union could not have broken the causal link between injury and the dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC.
Poleg tega je v navedku omenjeno tudi načrtovano popravilo peči, zaradi česar je treba zagotoviti zaloge za omogočanje dobave strankam (in za izpolnjevanje dobavnih pogodbenih obveznosti družbe 3B do strank) med popravilom.
Insufficient production capacity and stocks in the Union
Ob upoštevanju navedenega se trditev o samopovzročeni škodi, ki bi prekinila vzročno zvezo med dampinškim in subvencioniranim uvozom ter škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, zavrne.
The government of the PRC claimed that injury, if any, is caused by the insufficient production capacity of the Union producers.
Izvoz proizvajalcev Unije in premestitve zaradi približevanja trgom
The government of the PRC referred to a number of financial statements by Union producers.
Vlada LRK je trdila, da je domnevno škodo povzročila odločitev o premestitvi na lokacijo uporabniških industrij.
The 2010 financial statements of 3B Fibreglass state that ‘our limited production capacities have not allowed them to take additional market shares’ and ‘have forced us to deal with the evolution of demand of our clients with a limited level of inventory’.
Dodala je, da se to ne dogaja le na ravni Unije, temveč na globalni ravni.
The 2011 financial statements of 3B Fibreglass state that ‘the signs of redress of the economy in 2010 were confirmed in the first half of 2011 but the production performance levels of the company being lower than expected in the first trimester, have not allowed us to fully benefit from the uptake in activity and have led us to limit our contractual engagements in 2011’.
Vlada LRK je trdila, da je proizvajalec Unije P+D razširil svoje dejavnosti v Rusijo in Indijo, proizvajalec Unije 3B v Tunizijo, proizvajalec Unije PPG v LRK, proizvajalec Ahlstrom pa je v začetku leta 2011 preselil svojo proizvodnjo iz Evrope v LRK, da bi lahko bolje oskrboval rastoče trge vetrne energije v Aziji in predvsem v LRK.
The 2011 financial statements of Lanxess state that ‘In 2011, the glass fibre production at Lanxess was operating at maximum capacity’ and ‘In the second quarter of 2012, the planned shutdown of furnace 1 will take almost 10 weeks and the annual production will thus be 14 % lower in 2012’.
Glede na to, da so številni proizvajalci steklenih vlaken multinacionalne družbe, ni nič nenavadnega, da ob poslovnih priložnostih vlagajo tudi zunaj Unije.
The stock levels in 2010 were indeed low, see table 10 above.
Postavitev obratov v teh regijah vsekakor ustreza tudi prizadevanjem za približevanje strankam.
This was the result of a reduction in the level of production in 2009 when several production lines were dismantled, temporarily closed or curtailed in view of the price erosion and loss of market share caused by the dumped imports from the PRC.
Vendar je poslovna odločitev o postavitvi obrata zunaj Unije popolnoma ločena od dejstva, da proizvajalci Unije trpijo škodo.
However, the Union industry has increased its stock levels by more than 150 % in 2011 and continued increasing it ever since.
Vlada LRK je po dokončnem razkritju ponovila svojo trditev, da so se zaradi velikih čezmorskih naložb zmanjšali proizvodnja, število delovnih mest in obseg izvoza Unije, ki je zaradi tega utrpela škodo.
Referring to statements of some scare inventory for only the year 2010 is not appropriate, instead a trend should be discerned for the whole period considered.
Ta trditev ni utemeljena.
As explained in recital 241 above, such repairs/rebuilds are inherent to this sector and it is customary to build up stock in view of repairing/rebuilding a furnace allowing a continuation of supply to key customers.
Iz kazalnikov zmogljivosti in zaposlovanja ni razvidno, da bi bile izvedene velike čezmorske naložbe, ki bi lahko škodile dejavnostim Unije.
Moreover, the Union industry could invest in more capacity if there would be a fair level playing field allowing the Union industry to make a profit that justifies and allows capacity expansion.
Vlada LRK je trdila še, da je imelo zmanjšanje izvoza industrije Unije zelo negativne učinke, ki jih Komisija ni analizirala.
Union production capacity and stocks are not considered to be insufficient and hence, could not have contributed to the injury and therefore could not have broken the causal link between dumped and subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Trenutni preiskavi sta pokazali, da je izvoz industrije Unije (povezanim in nepovezanim strankam) od leta 2010 do konca OP zajemal od 11 % do 13 % skupne prodaje industrije Unije (povezanim in nepovezanim strankam).
Impact of the economic crisis
Iz zgoraj navedenih razlogov je razvidno, da izvoz proizvajalcev Unije in premestitve niso prispevali k škodi, zato niso mogli prekiniti vzročne zveze med dampinškim in subvencioniranim uvozom ter škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Several parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was caused by the economic crisis which had resulted in a sharp decline in demand by the user industries (such as the automotive industry and the wind energy market).
Menjalni tečaj Euro/USD
The government of the PRC quoted several Union producers such as the 2010 financial statements of European Owens Corning Fibreglass SPRL (‘EOCF’) where it said that ‘This decrease is partly explained by the strong dependence of this activity on the wind energy market, the degradation of which has continued because of the difficulty of the actors involved in this market to finance new projects’, the 2011 financial statements of Lanxess where it said that ‘Following the introduction of anti-dumping measures against Chinese imports LANXESS was able to increase its selling prices.
Vlada LRK je trdila, da dobava iz Kitajske vključuje tveganja, povezana z zapletenejšo logistiko in tečajnimi nihanji, ter da se stranke nočejo preveč izpostavljati takšnim tveganjem.
In the second half of 2011, however, we note a decrease of 16 % compared to 2010 because of the downward economic trend’ and the 2012 financial statements of EOCF where it said that the turnover of 2012 ‘is mainly due to the continuing economic crisis that does not allow them to operate at full capacity’.
En uporabnik je navedel, da so cene kitajskih izdelkov iz steklenih vlaken zelo odvisne od menjalnega tečaja med EUR in USD.
Indeed, a drop of 3 % in Union consumption of filament glass fibre products could be observed between 2010 and 2011.
Ker je od leta 2000 vrednost USD v primerjavi z EUR padala, bi to lahko domnevno prekinilo vzročno zvezo.
However, by the end of the IP, Union consumption had increased again by 6 percentage points.
Vrednost EUR je bila v začetku leta 2000 v primerjavi z USD manjša kot danes.
The quote that one of the companies had to lower its prices by 16 % in the second half of 2011 as compared to 2010, only gives a partial view on the situation of 2011.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da je bil menjalni tečaj EUR/USD v obravnavanem obdobju razmeroma stabilen.
The investigation revealed an increase of 8 % in the unit price for the full year of 2011 (as compared to 2010).
Kljub temu se je v obravnavanem obdobju dobičkonosnost vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije znatno zmanjšala, in sicer s 3 % na –4 %.
In addition, whereas the Union industry was still profitable during 2010 and 2011, it became loss making afterwards which coincided with the increase in dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC undercutting the prices of the Union industry.
Čeprav bi se zato lahko štelo, da je menjalni tečaj EUR/USD prispeval k škodi v OP, to nikakor ne more zmanjšati škodljivega učinka dampinškega uvoza iz LRK na trg Unije po zelo nizkih cenah v obdobju od leta 2011 do konca OP.
The economic downturn between 2010 and 2011 could be considered as contributing to a deterioration of the economic situation of the Union industry.
Menjalni tečaj EUR/USD zato ni prispeval k škodi in ni mogel prekiniti vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom ter škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
However, the economic downturn does not explain the loss making situation of the Union industry in 2012 and the IP.
Sklepi o vzročni zvezi
The main losses occurred only after the economic downturn in a period when consumption was increasing again.
Povzamemo lahko, da je zgornja analiza pokazala porast obsega in tržnega deleža dampinškega in subvencioniranega uvoza iz LRK.
As to the 2011 Owens Corning quote, it is important to note that the quote comes from EOCF which is Owens Corning's trading entity for all of their businesses in Europe and the Middle East.
Zaradi pritiska, ki se je izvajal s povečanjem dampinškega in subvencioniranega uvoza na trg Unije, industrija Unije svojih prodajnih cen ni mogla določiti v skladu z običajnimi tržnimi razmerami in zabeleženim povečanjem stroškov.
In addition to the like product, EOCF also sold during that period non-woven products, fabrics, roofing products (shingles) and insulation products, which are not covered by the proceeding.
Proizvajalcem industrije Unije ni uspelo obdržati tržnega deleža niti po znižanju prodajne cene.
This quote is therefore not specific to the like product on the Union market.
Zaradi tega znižanja cene se je zmanjšala dobičkonosnost, kar je privedlo do netrajnostnega položaja, v katerem se je ustvarjala izguba.
As to the 2012 Owens Corning quote, it refers specifically to the fabrics business conducted by EOCF in one of its plants.
Navedena analiza ustrezno opredeljuje učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije in jih ločuje od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
Given that fabrics are not part of the like product, this quote is not relevant.
Na podlagi te analize lahko sklenemo, da je dampinški in subvencionirani uvoz iz LRK povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije v smislu člena 3(6) osnovne protidampinške uredbe in člena 8(5) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe.
Given the above circumstances, the economic downturn might have affected negatively the Union industry but not to such an extent that it could break the causal link between the dumped and subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Vlada LRK je po dokončnem razkritju trdila, da je Komisija le zavrnila argumente zainteresiranih strani, namesto da bi proučila vse znane dejavnike poleg dampinškega uvoza, ki povzročajo škodo industriji Unije.
Competitiveness of dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC
Komisija je proučila učinek naslednjih drugih dejavnikov:
Some parties claimed that the outdated technology of the Union industry as compared to the modern technology applied by the Chinese exporting producers caused injury, rather than dumping or subsidising of the product concerned.
uvoza iz drugih držav, stroškov proizvodnje, gibanja potrošnje, proizvodnih zmogljivosti in zalog, gospodarske krize, konkurenčnosti uvoza iz LRK, samopovzročene škode, izvoza proizvajalcev Unije in premestitev ter menjalnega tečaja EUR/USD.
However, the investigation confirmed that the Union industry has up to date production processes as well.
V preiskavi niso bili ugotovljeni nobeni drugi dejavniki, ki bi lahko prekinili vzročno zvezo.
The claim that the state of the Union industry's technology would break the causal link between the dumped and subsidised imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry is therefore rejected.
F. INTERES UNIJE
Self-inflicted injury
V skladu s členom 31 osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe je Komisija proučila, ali so kljub sklepu o škodljivem subvencioniranju obstajali utemeljeni razlogi za sklep, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem posebnem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
Several parties claimed that the injury might be self-inflicted as (i) the prices offered by Union producers in 2014 were lower than the quotes such parties received from Chinese exporting producers, as (ii) investments made by the applicants in recent years contradict injury, as large investments are difficult to reconcile with a notion of an industry suffering injury and did not lead to a higher market share for the Union industry, as (iii) investments made by the applicants might have been in the restructuring and installing of additional capacity for the production of the ‘wrong’ filament glass fibre products, for example products for which there is more limited demand, and not for example for chopped strands for which the parties claim there was significant demand and in fact a potential supply shortage in the Union.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih vpletenih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov in uporabnikov.
Regarding the first claim on lower prices offered by Union producers, it should be noted that this allegation consists of a post IP event and price levels in 2014 could not be considered.
Vse zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da izrazijo svoja stališča v skladu s členom 31(2) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe.
Moreover, given that furnaces operate 24 hours a day and that it is very costly to slow down production, the Union industry has been trying to keep market share by selling at lower prices and therefore still covering part of its fixed costs.
Komisija je poslala vprašalnike 5 neodvisnim uvoznikom in 34 uporabnikom.
As regards the large investments done by the Union industry over the recent years, it should be reminded that in this capital intensive industry, furnaces have to be rebuilt every 7 to 10 years and the costs associated with rebuilding a furnace can amount to EUR 8 million — EUR 13 million (range given for reasons of confidentiality).
2 uvoznika in 13 uporabnikov so izpolnjene vprašalnike poslali v predpisanem roku.
A good part of the other, more structural high investment costs is linked to the alloy consumption from the bushings and the consequent rebuilding of bushings.
Poleg tega so med preiskavo pisna stališča poslali tudi številni uporabniki in združenja uporabnikov, ki so nasprotovali morebitnim ukrepom v tej zadevi.
Investments which are dedicated to R & D are also necessary in order to stay in the market and to fulfil the client's needs.
V prvotni protidampinški preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da uvedba ukrepov ni v nasprotju z interesom Unije.
As to the third claim on allegedly ‘wrong’ investments for other products than chopped strands, it should be noted that (i) the Union industry restructured in view of being able to offer a wide variety of products.
Ker je vmesni pregled omejen na škodo, so tedanje ugotovitve glede interesov Unije še vedno veljavne.
No evidence was provided that such type of restructuration was not economically viable, and (ii) the ceased production of chopped strands that took place due to restructuring over the recent years was transferred to another production plant that was converted.
Spodnja analiza torej zadeva protisubvencijsko preiskavo.
The government of the PRC claimed that Union producers were keeping stock of imports from third countries and quoted the 2011 financial statements of one of the Union producers that stated that:
Interes industrije Unije
‘Merchandise inventories (EUR 21,4 million at 31 December 2011) are increasing due to global slowdown experienced in our business during the second half of the year, the stock consisting up to 75 % of finished products imported from companies of the […][our] group outside of Europe, the rest being mainly materials and products necessary for the Fabrics activity’.
Zaradi veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov se dampinški uvoz iz LRK ni zmanjšal, industrija Unije pa se ni razbremenila.
The increase in this Union producer's 2011 reported stock levels is explained by a stock-up to supply one of its non-EU plants when the latter had a furnace rebuild in 2012.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, je industrija Unije po znižanju cen, ki jo je povzročil dampinški uvoz iz LRK, še naprej trpela znatno škodo.
No imports from other non-EU plants would have been done if those products for the non-EU plant could have been produced in the Union.
Brez ukrepov bi se negativno gibanje v zvezi s finančnim položajem industrije Unije najverjetneje nadaljevalo.
Following the definitive disclosure, the government of the PRC requested to make clear if such imports were from the PRC or elsewhere and how much the volumes were.
Na položaj vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije je vplivalo zlasti zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti, in sicer s +3 % leta 2010 na –4 % do konca OP.
However, the sampled Union producers did not purchase the product concerned from the PRC in the period considered.
Vsako nadaljnje zmanjšanje uspešnosti bi povzročilo zmanjšanje obsega proizvodnih linij in zaprtje še več proizvodnih enot, kar bi ogrozilo zaposlovanje in naložbe v Uniji.
The government of the PRC also claimed that the injury might be self-inflicted as the Union producer 3B Fibreglass decided to rebuild stock for BASF in 2011 at times when there was insufficient production.
Z uvedbo ukrepov bi se lojalna konkurenca na trgu ponovno vzpostavila.
They quote hereby from 3B Fibreglass's 2011 financial statements:
Zmanjševanje dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije je posledica njene nezmožnosti konkuriranja subvencioniranemu uvozu po nizkih cenah iz LRK.
