The sweetcorn produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry and the sweetcorn produced and sold in Thailand was found to have essentially the same physical and chemical characteristics and the same basic uses as the sweetcorn produced in Thailand and sold for export to the Union.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imata sladka koruza, ki jo v Uniji proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije, in sladka koruza, proizvedena in prodajana na Tajskem, dejansko enake fizikalne in kemijske lastnosti ter enako osnovno uporabo kot sladka koruza, proizvedena na Tajskem in prodana za izvoz v Unijo.
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the expiry of the existing measures would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali obstaja verjetnost, da bi se zaradi izteka veljavnosti obstoječih ukrepov damping nadaljeval ali ponovil.
As stated in recital 10, in view of the potentially large number of exporting producers which expressed their willingness to cooperate, sampling was foreseen in the notice of initiation.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 10, je bilo v obvestilu o začetku zaradi možnega velikega števila proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki so izrazili pripravljenost za sodelovanje, predvideno vzorčenje.
A sample of three exporting producers, representing approximately 90 % of total exports among the exporting producers that expressed their willingness to cooperate, was selected for the determination of the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping.
Za ugotovitev verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve dampinga je bil izbran vzorec treh proizvajalcev izvoznikov, katerih skupni izvoz zajema približno 90 % celotnega izvoza proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki so izrazili pripravljenost za sodelovanje.
As the combined export quantities of the three sampled exporting producers accounted for approximately 25 % of all exports from Thailand to the Union during the RIP, information from other sources such as the request for the review and available trade statistics on exports (from the Thai Customs) and on imports (from Eurostat) had to be used in order to assess the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping.
Ker je celotni obseg izvoza treh vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v OPP zajemal približno 25 % celotnega izvoza iz Tajske v Unijo, je bilo treba za oceno verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovitve dampinga uporabiti informacije iz drugih virov, kot so podatki iz zahtevka za pregled ter razpoložljivi trgovinski statistični podatki o izvozu (od tajske carine) in o uvozu (od Eurostata).
Sales to traders in Thailand, where the goods were destined for unknown export destinations, have not been included in the determination of the dumping margin.
Pri določitvi stopnje dampinga se ni upoštevala prodaja trgovcem na Tajskem, kadar je bilo blago namenjeno v neznane izvozne destinacije.
As in the original investigation, it has been found that certain exporting producers source part of their sales of the product concerned from external suppliers.
Tako kot pri prvotni preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki del svoje prodaje zadevnega izdelka pridobijo od zunanjih dobaviteljev.
For the purpose of the investigation, sales of the product concerned which have not been manufactured by the exporting producers themselves have not been taken into account when determining their respective dumping margins.
Za namen preiskave pri določitvi ustreznih stopenj dampinga ni bila upoštevana prodaja zadevnega izdelka, ki ga niso proizvedli proizvajalci izvozniki.
Determination of the Normal Value
Določanje normalne vrednosti
In accordance with the first sentence of Article 2(2), of the basic Regulation, for the determination of normal value, it was first established, for each of the three exporting producers, whether their total domestic sales of the like product during the RIP were representative in comparison to their total export sales to the Union, i.e. if sales volumes of the like product intended for domestic consumption represented 5 % or more of their exports of the product concerned to the Union.
V skladu s prvim stavkom člena 2(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo za določitev normalne vrednosti za vsakega od treh proizvajalcev izvoznikov najprej določeno, ali je bila njihova skupna domača prodaja podobnega izdelka v OPP reprezentativna v primerjavi z njihovim celotnim izvozom v Unijo, tj. če je obseg prodaje podobnega izdelka, namenjenega domači potrošnji, zajemal 5 % ali več obsega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
The domestic sales of the like product were found to be representative for one of the three sampled companies.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je domača prodaja podobnega izdelka reprezentativna za eno od treh vzorčenih družb.
It was subsequently examined whether the types of the like product sold by this company and intended for domestic consumption were identical or directly comparable to the types for export to the Union.
Nato je bilo proučeno, ali so bile vrste podobnega izdelka, ki jih je prodala ta družba in ki so bile namenjene domači potrošnji, enake ali neposredno primerljive z vrstami za izvoz v Unijo.
For each of the those types, it was established whether sales of the like product intended for domestic consumption were sufficiently representative for the purposes of Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation.
Za vsako od teh vrst je bilo ugotovljeno, ali je bila prodaja podobnega izdelka, namenjena domači potrošnji, dovolj reprezentativna za namene člena 2(2) osnovne uredbe.
Sales intended for domestic consumption were sufficiently representative when they represented 5 % or more of the total sales volume of the comparable type exported to the Union.
Prodaja, namenjena domači potrošnji, je bila dovolj reprezentativna, če je zajemala 5 % ali več celotnega obsega prodaje primerljive vrste izdelka, izvoženega v Unijo.
It was found that, for this company, only one type of the like product was directly comparable to the type exported to the Union.
V zvezi s to družbo je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila le ena vrsta podobnega izdelka neposredno primerljiva z vrsto, ki se je izvažala v Unijo.
Moreover, this particular type was also sold in sufficiently representative quantities on the domestic market.
Ta vrsta izdelka je bila tudi na domačem trgu prodana v dovolj reprezentativnih količinah.
It was subsequently examined whether the product type for the company referred to in recital 31 was sold in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation.
Nato je bilo proučeno, ali je bila vrsta izdelka za družbo iz uvodne izjave 31 prodana v običajnem poteku trgovine v skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe.
This was done by establishing the proportion of profitable domestic sales to independent customers for the product type concerned.
To je bilo izvedeno tako, da je bil ugotovljen delež dobičkonosne domače prodaje neodvisnim strankam za zadevno vrsto izdelka.
It was found that more than 80 % of the volume of sales intended for domestic consumption was profitable and, in accordance with Article 2(4), all transactions for this particular type were used for determining the normal value.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bilo dobičkonosnih več kot 80 % obsega prodaje, namenjene domači potrošnji, zato so bile v skladu s členom 2(4) za določitev normalne vrednosti uporabljene vse transakcije za to vrsto.
For the type of the product concerned where the domestic sales were representative and made in the ordinary course of trade, normal value was established on the actual domestic price, calculated as a weighted average of all the domestic sales of that type during the RIP.
Za vrsto zadevnega izdelka, pri kateri je bila domača prodaja reprezentativna in opravljena v običajnem poteku trgovanja, je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi dejanske domače cene, izračunane kot tehtano povprečje celotne domače prodaje te vrste v OPP.
For the remaining two exporting producers whose sales on the domestic market were not considered to be representative (one of which did not sell the like product for domestic consumption at all) and for the third exporting producer whose overall sales were considered to be representative but where for a number of types of the like product, the quantities sold on the domestic market were not considered to be representative, the normal value had to be constructed pursuant to Article 2(3) of the basic Regulation.
Za preostala dva proizvajalca izvoznika, katerih prodaja na domačem trgu se ni štela za reprezentativno (pri čemer eden od njiju podobnega izdelka sploh ni prodajal za domačo potrošnjo), in za tretjega proizvajalca izvoznika, katerega skupna prodaja se je štela za reprezentativno, obseg prodaje več vrst podobnega izdelka na domačem trgu pa ne, je bilo treba normalno vrednost oblikovati na podlagi člena 2(3) osnovne uredbe.
The normal value was constructed by adding the cost of manufacturing for each product type exported to the Union and a reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative costs (SG & A) and for profits.
Normalna vrednost je bila oblikovana tako, da se je proizvodnim stroškom za vsako vrsto izdelka, ki se izvaža v Unijo, dodal razumni znesek za prodajne, splošne in administrativne stroške (PSA) ter za dobiček.
In accordance with Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation, for the two exporting producers who had sales intended for domestic consumption – at quantities below or above 5 % of their respective sales quantities to the Union – the SG & A and the profit margin were taken from the respective company’s sales under the ordinary course of trade on the domestic market.
V skladu s členom 2(6) osnovne uredbe so bili za dva proizvajalca izvoznika, katerih prodaja – v obsegu, manjšem ali večjem od 5 % obsega njune prodaje Uniji, – je bila namenjena domači potrošnji, zneski za te stroške ter stopnja dobička določeni na podlagi podatkov o prodaji zadevne družbe pri običajnem poteku trgovanja na domačem trgu.
For the third exporting producer which did not sell the like product for domestic consumption, in accordance with Article 2(6)(a) of the basic Regulation, the SG & A and profit used for this third exporting producer constituted the weighted average of the SG & A and profit for the other two other exporting producers referred to in recital 37.
Za tretjega proizvajalca izvoznika, ki podobnega izdelka ni prodajal za domačo potrošnjo, so bili v skladu s členom 2(6)(a) osnovne uredbe zneski teh stroškov ter dobička, uporabljeni za tega tretjega proizvajalca izvoznika, določeni na podlagi tehtanega povprečja zneskov PSA ter dobička drugih dveh proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz uvodne izjave 37.
Two interested parties contested the methodology used, as set out in recital 37, i.e. the use of profit for the purpose of constructing a normal value when this profit is based on domestic sales transactions at volumes below 5 % of sales quantities to the Union.
Dve od zainteresiranih strani sta izpodbijali metodologijo, pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 37, tj. uporaba dobička, da se sestavi normalna vrednost, kadar ta dobiček temelji na domačih prodajnih transakcijah v obsegu, ki je manjši od 5 % obsega prodaje v Unijo.
It considers that, when domestic sales transactions are not considered to be in sufficient quantities to be representative, then the profit from those transactions should not be used.
Kadar se za domače prodajne transakcije šteje, da so nereprezentativne zaradi nezadostnega obsega, se po njunem mnenju tudi dobiček iz teh transakcij ne bi smel uporabljati.
However, the same methodology has been used in the original investigation, and in the absence of changed circumstances, the Commission considers that this methodology is still valid for the purpose of these proceedings.
Dejansko je bila ista metodologija uporabljena že v prvotni preiskavi in zaradi nespremenjenih okoliščin Komisija meni, da je še vedno veljavna za ta postopek.
Determination of the export price
Določanje izvozne cene
All sales of the sampled exporting producers were made directly to unrelated customers in the Union.
Vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki so celotno prodajo opravili neposredno z nepovezanimi strankami v Uniji.
The sales price was thus established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, on the basis of prices paid or payable by those independent customers in the Union.
V skladu s členom 2(8) osnovne uredbe je bila prodajna cena tako določena na podlagi cen, ki so jih te neodvisne stranke v Uniji dejansko plačale ali jih plačujejo.
Comparison and adjustments
Primerjava in prilagoditve
The comparison between the normal value and the export price was made on an ex-works basis.
Opravljena je bila primerjava med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno na osnovi franko tovarna.
In order to ensure a fair comparison, account was taken of differences which affect price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Za zagotovitev poštene primerjave so se v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe upoštevale razlike, ki vplivajo na primerljivost cen.
Allowances for differences in transport costs, insurance costs, handling and loading costs, commissions and bank charges were granted when applicable and duly justified.
Nadomestila za razlike pri stroških prevoza, zavarovanja, manipuliranja in natovarjanja, provizij ter bančnih stroških so bila dodeljena, če so bila primerna in ustrezno utemeljena.
Moreover, in accordance with Article 2(10)(d) of the basic Regulation and pursuant to the methodology applied in the original investigation, allowances were made for differences in the level of trade for those exporting producers whose sales on the domestic market carries its own brand, but whose sales to the Union is under a retailers brand.
Poleg tega so bila v skladu s členom 2(10)(d) osnovne uredbe in v skladu z metodologijo, ki se je uporabljala pri prvotni preiskavi, za tiste proizvajalce izvoznike, katerih prodaja na domačem trgu se opravlja pod lastno blagovno znamko, prodaja v Unijo pa pod blagovno znamko prodajalca na drobno, dodeljena nadomestila za razliko v ravni trgovanja.
The adjustment level – calculated in the form of a reduction of the profit margin used when constructing the normal value as referred to in recital 33 — has been estimated on the basis of the relationship of the profit margins obtained by the Union industry on their own branded products and on all products.
Raven prilagoditve, izračunane v obliki znižanja stopnje dobička, ki se uporablja pri oblikovanju normalne vrednosti, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 33, je bila ocenjena na podlagi razmerja med stopnjami dobička, ki jih dobiva industrija Unije v zvezi z izdelki z lastno blagovno znamko in v zvezi z vsemi izdelki.
The profit margin was hence reduced by between 20 % and 50 %.
Tako je bila stopnja dobička znižana za 20 % do 50 %.
Two interested parties considered that the domestic market in Thailand and the Union market cannot be compared, as the size of the market differs and the fact that Thai producers sell under their own brand on the domestic market.
Dve od zainteresiranih strani sta menili, da tajskega domačega trga ni mogoče primerjati s trgom Unije, saj se velikosti trgov razlikujeta, poleg tega tajski proizvajalci na domačem trgu izdelek prodajajo pod svojo blagovno znamko.
It is first recalled that in recital 22 it was established that sweet corn sold on the Thai domestic market and sweet corn sold for export to the Union market are alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Najprej je treba opozoriti, da je bilo v uvodni izjavi 22 ugotovljeno, da gre pri sladki koruzi, ki se prodaja na tajskem domačem trgu, in sladki koruzi, ki se izvaža na trg Unije, za podobni izdelek v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
Second, due to the differences in the level of trade, an adjustment to the profit margin – a downward adjustment by between 20 % and 50 % of the profit margin generated from domestic, own-brand sales – was made.
Poleg tega je bila zaradi razlik v stopnji trgovine stopnja dobička prilagojena navzdol za 20 % do 50 % stopnje dobička, ustvarjenega pri prodaji izdelka pod lastno blagovno znamko na domačem trgu.
This also follows the methodology used in the original investigation.
Tudi to je v skladu z metodologijo, uporabljeno v prvotni preiskavi.
Dumping during the RIP
Damping v OPP
On the basis of the above, the dumping margins expressed as a percentage of the free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, were found to be between 8 % and 44 %.
Na podlagi navedenega so se vrednosti stopenj dampinga, izražene kot odstotek cene franko meja Unije pred dajatvijo, gibale med 8 % in 44 %.
The production of sweetcorn is dependent on the access of freshly harvested corn that is delivered to the canning factory directly after harvest.
Proizvodnja sladke koruze je odvisna od dostopa do sveže požete koruze, dobavljene tovarni za konzerviranje neposredno po žetvi.
The freshly harvested corn should be canned within 24 hours after harvest and thus the capacity to produce the product concerned is directly linked to the availability of freshly harvested corn.
Sveže požeto koruzo je treba konzervirati v 24 urah po žetvi, zato je zmogljivost za proizvodnjo zadevnega izdelka neposredno povezana z razpoložljivostjo sveže požete koruze.
In Thailand, the harvest season is around 9-10 months a year, encompassing 2 harvests per year.
Na Tajskem traja sezona žetve približno devet do deset mesecev na leto in zajema dve žetvi na leto.
When assessing the available technical capacity to manufacture, season-related raw material constraints must be included in the analysis.
Pri ocenjevanju razpoložljive tehnične proizvodne zmogljivosti je treba v analizo vključiti sezonske omejitve surovin.
The three exporting producers that were included in the sample had a combined technical capacity of between 130000 - 150000 tonnes.
Skupna tehnična zmogljivost treh proizvajalcev izvoznikov, vključenih v vzorec, se je gibala med 130000 in 150000 tonami.
The actual utilisation rate of available technical capacity varied between 50 % – 80 %.
Dejanska stopnja izkoriščenosti razpoložljive tehnične zmogljivosti je znašala od 50 % do 80 %.
Several interested parties argued that, while acknowledging the methodology used in curtailing the technical capacity with accessibility of raw materials, the available spare capacity was exaggerated.
Več zainteresiranih strani sicer priznava uporabljeno metodologijo za zmanjšanje tehnične zmogljivosti zaradi omejene dostopnosti surovin, obenem pa so navedle, da je razpoložljiva rezervna zmogljivost pretirana.
As already stressed in recital 50, technical capacity cannot be fully utilized due to the seasonal unavailability of freshly harvested sweet corn.
Kot je že bilo poudarjeno v uvodni izjavi 50, tehnične zmogljivosti ni mogoče v celoti izkoristiti, ker je sveže požeta sladka koruza v določenem obdobju nedostopna.
Still, the investigation has shown that capacity utilisation figures of 80 % and above are achieved by some sampled producers, while for other sampled producers the capacity utilisation was much lower.
Vendar je preiskava pokazala, da nekateri vzorčeni proizvajalci dosegajo najmanj 80-odstotno izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, pri drugih vzorčenih proizvajalcih pa je ta veliko nižja.
Since all producers have a comparable access to raw materials, this lower capacity utilisation cannot only be explained by the seasonal unavailability of freshly harvested sweet corn.
Ker imajo vsi proizvajalci primerljiv dostop do surovin, ta nizka izkoriščenost zmogljivosti ni posledica sezonske nedostopnosti sveže požete sladke koruze.
According to information provided by the Thai Food Processors Association, the total export quantity of Thailand to the rest of the world steadily increased by around 20 % during the period considered, reaching a volume of 150000 – 200000 tonnes during the RIP.
V skladu z informacijami, ki jih je predložilo združenje Thai Food Processors Association, se je celotni izvoz Tajske v ostale države sveta v obravnavanem obdobju postopoma povečal za približno 20 % ter v OPP dosegel 150000–200000 ton.
This shows that the quantities of available sweet corn can and effectively do increase steadily when additional quantities are needed by exporting producers.
To pomeni, da se razpoložljiva količina sladke koruze lahko poveča in se dejansko postopoma povečuje, kadar proizvajalci izvozniki potrebujejo dodatne količine.
In this respect, it is noted that the total production of yellow corn ranged from 4,1 million – 4,5 million tonnes in Thailand during the period considered.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da se je v obravnavanem obdobju celotna proizvodnja rumene koruze na Tajskem gibala med 4,1 milijona in 4,5 milijona ton.
While it is acknowledged that the production cannot be switched from yellow corn to sweet corn on a 1:1 basis, the sheer magnitude of the difference in production volumes makes it clear that even a small shift in the production quantities from yellow corn to sweetcorn can have a substantial impact on the total sweetcorn production in Thailand.
Čeprav vsi priznajo, da proizvodnje rumene koruze ni mogoče zamenjati s proizvodnjo sladke koruze v razmerju 1 proti 1, velika razlika v obsegu proizvodnje jasno kaže, da lahko tudi najmanjši upad proizvedene količine rumene koruze v korist sladke koruze bistveno vpliva na skupno proizvodnjo sladke koruze na Tajskem.
On this basis, it was established that the three sampled producers could produce an additional quantity of around 40000 – 60000 tonnes per year (‘effective spare capacity’), which is around 2 to 3 times the total exports from Thailand of the product concerned to the Union.
Na tej podlagi je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi trije vzorčeni proizvajalci lahko proizvedli dodatno količino približno 40000 do 60000 ton na leto („dejanska rezervna zmogljivost“), kar je enako približno 2- do 3-kratnemu celotnemu tajskemu izvozu zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
The effective spare capacity of the sampled producers alone can therefore be considered significant.
Dejanska rezervna zmogljivost samo vzorčenih proizvajalcev se zato lahko šteje za znatno.
In addition, there are another 15 known producers of the product concerned in Thailand, which similarly have access to the vast production of sweet corn in Thailand.
Poleg tega je na Tajskem še 15 drugih znanih proizvajalcev zadevnega izdelka, ki imajo tudi dostop do zelo velike proizvodnje sladke koruze na Tajskem.
From information collected from other sources, i.e.
Na podlagi informacij, pridobljenih iz drugih virov, in sicer:
information collected from exporting producers’ internet presentations,
informacij, pridobljenih iz internetnih predstavitev proizvajalcev izvoznikov,
information collected in relation to the sampling exercise, and
informacij, pridobljenih v zvezi z izvedbo vzorčenja, in
information collected under the data-base set up under Article 14(6) of the basic Regulation,
informacij, pridobljenih iz podatkovne zbirke, vzpostavljene v skladu s členom 14(6) osnovne uredbe,
it can be concluded that at least two major exporting producers, one of which cooperated in the review investigation but was not selected for the sample (and hence did not supply any detailed information in this regard), have a combined capacity of between 50000-100000 tonnes.
je mogoče sklepati, da je skupna zmogljivost vsaj dveh glavnih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, od katerih je eden sodeloval pri preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom, vendar ni bil izbran za vzorec (in zato ni predložil podrobnih informacij v zvezi s tem), znašala od 50000 do 100000 ton.
Finally, there is no evidence to suggest that the level of consumption on the Thai domestic market or third country markets would increase and thus absorb increased production if the spare capacity of the Thai producers is used.
Nazadnje pa ni nobenih dokazov, ki bi kazali na to, da bi se v primeru uporabe rezervne zmogljivosti tajskih proizvajalcev stopnja potrošnje na tajskem domačem trgu ali na trgih tretjih držav povečala, s čimer bi se lahko povečana proizvodnja absorbirala.
In particular, the Thai domestic market is tiny, and on average only accounted for 1 % - 2 % of total sales of all sampled Thai producers.
Tajski domači trg je majhen; v povprečju sta bila na njem prodana le 1 do 2 % celotne proizvodnje vseh vzorčenih tajskih proizvajalcev.
