The Commission officially advised the applicants, the other known Union producers, the exporting producers in the PRC and in Russia, the unrelated importers, the users known to be concerned, and the representatives of the exporting countries, of the initiation of the expiry review.
Strani, ki jih preiskava zadeva
The interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set out in the notice of initiation.
Komisija je o začetku pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa uradno obvestila vložnike, druge znane proizvajalce Unije, proizvajalce izvoznike v LRK in Rusiji, nepovezane uvoznike, uporabnike, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, in predstavnike držav izvoznic.
All interested parties, who so requested and showed that there were particular reasons why they should be heard, were granted a hearing.
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da pisno izrazijo svoja stališča in zaprosijo za zaslišanje v roku, določenem v obvestilu o začetku.
In view of the apparent large number of exporting producers in the PRC and of unrelated importers in the Union involved in the investigation, sampling was envisaged in the notice of initiation, in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.
Vsem zainteresiranim stranem, ki so zahtevale zaslišanje in dokazale, da zanj obstajajo posebni razlogi, je bilo zaslišanje odobreno.
In order to enable the Commission to decide whether sampling would be necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the above-mentioned parties were requested to make themselves known to the Commission within 15 days of the initiation of the review and to provide the Commission with the information requested in the notice of initiation.
Glede na očitno veliko število proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK in nepovezanih uvoznikov v Uniji, ki so bili vključeni v preiskavo, je bilo v skladu s členom 17 osnovne uredbe v obvestilu o začetku predvideno vzorčenje.
Given that only one exporting producer in the PRC provided the information requested in the notice of initiation and expressed its willingness to cooperate with the Commission, it was decided not to apply sampling in the case of the exporting producers in the PRC.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in v tem primeru izbrala vzorec, so bile navedene strani pozvane, naj se v 15 dneh po začetku pregleda javijo Komisiji in ji predložijo zahtevane informacije iz obvestila o začetku.
After having received the questionnaire, the exporting producer decided not to cooperate further.
Glede na to, da je le en proizvajalec izvoznik v LRK predložil informacije, zahtevane v obvestilu o začetku, in izrazil pripravljenost za nadaljnje sodelovanje s Komisijo, je bilo odločeno, da se vzorčenje za proizvajalce izvoznike v LRK ne uporabi.
Therefore, it is considered that no exporting producer in the PRC cooperated in the investigation.
Po prejetju vprašalnika se je proizvajalec izvoznik odločil, da ne bo več sodeloval.
Regarding Russia, all known Russian producers were invited to cooperate in the investigation, namely Bratsk Ferroalloy Plant, Serov Ferroalloy Plant, NLMK and the Russian group.
Zato se šteje, da v preiskavi ni sodeloval noben proizvajalec izvoznik v LRK.
Only one Russian group cooperated with the Commission in the current review investigation.
Kar zadeva Rusijo, so bili vsi znani ruski proizvajalci pozvani k sodelovanju v preiskavi, in sicer družbe Bratsk Ferroalloy Plant, Serov Ferroalloy Plant, NLMK ter ruska skupina.
With regard to the unrelated importers, no reply to the questionnaire was received.
Samo ena ruska skupina je sodelovala s Komisijo pri tej preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom.
Therefore, it is considered that no unrelated importer in the Union cooperated in the investigation.
Kar zadeva nepovezane uvoznike, ni bil prejet noben odgovor na vprašalnik.
Replies to the questionnaires were received from six out of seven known Union producers of FeSi.
Zato se šteje, da v preiskavi ni sodeloval noben nepovezan uvoznik v Uniji.
In view of the relatively limited number of Union producers, no sampling was envisaged in the review investigation.
Odgovore na vprašalnike je poslalo šest od sedmih znanih proizvajalcev fero-silicija iz Unije.
Verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following companies:
Ob upoštevanju razmeroma omejenega števila proizvajalcev Unije vzorčenje v preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom ni bilo predvideno.

B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Finnfjord AS, Finnsnes, Norveška
Product concerned
B. ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
The product concerned is ferro-silicon currently falling within CN codes 72022100, 72022910 and 72022990, originating in the PRC and Russia.
Zadevni izdelek
The production of FeSi takes place in electric arc furnaces by means of reducing quartz using carbon-bearing products.
Zadevni izdelek je fero-silicij, trenutno uvrščen pod oznake KN 72022100, 72022910 in 72022990, s poreklom iz LRK in Rusije.
This process is energy-intensive.
Fero-silicij se proizvaja v elektroobločnih pečeh z redukcijo kremena s pomočjo izdelkov, ki vsebujejo ogljik.
FeSi is sold in the form of lumps, grains or powder and exists in various qualities, depending on the silicon and the impurity content (e.g. aluminium).
Ta proces je energetsko intenziven.
FeSi with a silicon content of 70 % and above is considered as a high purity product.
Fero-silicij se prodaja v obliki grudic, zrn ali prahu in obstaja v različnih kakovostih glede na vsebnost silicija in nečistoč (npr. aluminija).
With a silicon content of more than 55 % and less than 70 %, it is a medium purity product, and with a silicon content of less than 55 % it is a low purity product.
Fero-silicij z vsebnostjo silicija 70 % in več se obravnava kot izdelek z visoko stopnjo čistosti.
The product concerned is essentially used as a deoxidiser and as an alloying component in the iron and steel industry.
Vsebnost silicija več kot 55 % in manj kot 70 % pomeni, da ima izdelek srednjo stopnjo čistosti, ter vsebnost silicija manj kot 55 % pomeni, da ima izdelek nizko stopnjo čistosti.
Like product
Zadevni izdelek se uporablja predvsem kot dezoksidant in zlitinski element v železarski in jeklarski industriji.
The FeSi produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry and the FeSi produced and sold in Norway (‘the analogue country’) as the PRC is a non-market economy country and has not been investigated in the course of this investigation, and in Russia was found to have essentially the same physical and chemical characteristics and the same basic uses as the FeSi produced in the PRC and in Russia and sold for export to the Union.
Podobni izdelek
They are therefore considered to be alike within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imata fero-silicij, ki ga v Uniji proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije, ter fero-silicij, proizveden in prodajan na Norveškem („primerljiva država“), saj je LRK država z netržnim gospodarstvom in ni bila preiskovana med to preiskavo, in v Rusiji, dejansko enake fizikalne in kemijske lastnosti ter enako osnovno uporabo kot fero-silicij, ki se proizvaja v LRK in Rusiji ter prodaja za izvoz v Unijo.
C. LIKELIHOOD OF A CONTINUATION OR RECURRENCE OF DUMPING
Zato se ta izdelka obravnavata kot podobna v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
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 from the two countries concerned.
C. VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA ALI PONOVNEGA POJAVA DAMPINGA
IMPORTS FROM THE PRC
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo proučeno, ali obstaja verjetnost, da se bo damping iz zadevnih držav zaradi izteka veljavnosti obstoječih ukrepov nadaljeval ali ponovil.
Preliminary remarks
UVOZ IZ LRK
As stated in recital (13) above, no Chinese exporting producers cooperated with the investigation.
Uvodne ugotovitve
Thus, in the absence of cooperation from exporting producers in the PRC, the overall analysis, including the dumping calculation, is based on facts available pursuant to Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 13 zgoraj, noben kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik ni sodeloval v preiskavi.
Therefore, the likelihood of a continuation or recurrence of dumping was assessed by using the expiry review request, combined with other sources of information such as trade statistics on imports and exports (Eurostat and Chinese export data) and other information publicly available.
Zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK torej splošna analiza, vključno z izračunom dampinga, temelji na razpoložljivih dejstvih v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe.
The absence of cooperation affected the comparison of the normal value with the export price of the various product types.
Zato je bila verjetnost nadaljevanja ali ponovitve dampinga ocenjena z uporabo zahtevka za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepov, v povezavi z drugimi viri informacij, kot so trgovinske statistike o uvozu in izvozu (Eurostat in kitajski podatki o izvozu) in druge informacije na voljo javnosti.
As explained in recital (30) below, it was considered appropriate to establish both the normal value and the export price on a global basis, namely based of one single product, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Odsotnost sodelovanja je vplivala na primerjavo normalne vrednosti z izvozno ceno različnih vrst izdelka.
In accordance with Article 11(9) of the basic Regulation, the same methodology as that used to establish dumping in the original investigation was followed whenever it was found that circumstances had not changed.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 30 spodaj, se je zdelo primerno določiti normalno vrednost in izvozno ceno na svetovni ravni, in sicer na podlagi enega samega izdelka, v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe.
Dumping of imports during the RIP
V skladu s členom 11(9) osnovne uredbe, je bila uporabljena enaka metodologija kot za določitev dampinga v prvotni preiskavi, kadar je bilo ugotovljeno, da se okoliščine niso spremenile.
Determination of the Normal Value
Damping uvoza v OPP
In the notice of initiation, the Commission invited all interested parties to comment on its proposal to use Norway as a market economy third country for the purpose of establishing normal value in respect of the PRC.
Določanje normalne vrednosti
Norway was used as an analogue country in the original investigation.
V obvestilu o začetku je Komisija povabila vse zainteresirane stranke, da predložijo pripombe o njenem predlogu, da bi se Norveška uporabila kot tretja država s tržnim gospodarstvom za namen določitve normalne vrednosti v zvezi z LRK.
In the absence of comments from any parties on this aspect, it was concluded that Norway should be selected again as an analogue country to establish the normal value for the PRC in accordance with Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.
Norveška je bila kot primerljiva država uporabljena tudi pri prvotni preiskavi.
In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation it was first examined whether the total volume of domestic sales of the like product to independent customers made by the cooperating producers in Norway was representative in comparison with the total export volume from the PRC to the Union, namely whether the total volume of such domestic sales represented at least 5 % of the total volume of export sales of the product concerned to the Union.
Ker ni bilo pripomb strank glede tega vidika, je bilo sklenjeno, da se Norveška ponovno izbere kot primerljiva država za določitev normalne vrednosti v zvezi z LRK v skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe.
On that basis, it was found that the domestic sales in the analogue country were representative.
V skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe se je najprej proučilo, ali je bil celoten obseg domače prodaje podobnega izdelka s strani sodelujočih proizvajalcev na Norveškem neodvisnim strankam reprezentativen v primerjavi s celotnim obsegom izvoza iz LRK v Unijo, tj. ali je celoten obseg take domače prodaje predstavljal vsaj 5 % celotnega obsega izvozne prodaje zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
It was also examined whether the domestic sales of the like product could be regarded as being made in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation.
Na tej podlagi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila domača prodaja v primerljivi državi reprezentativna.
This was done by establishing the proportion of domestic sales to independent customers on the domestic market which were profitable during the RIP.
Proučeno je bilo tudi, ali se lahko domača prodaja podobnega izdelka šteje za prodajo v običajnem poteku trgovanja v skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe.
Normal value was thus based on the actual domestic price, which was calculated as a weighted average price of the profitable domestic sales made during the RIP.
To je bilo izvedeno tako, da se je določil delež dobičkonosne domače prodaje neodvisnim strankam na domačem trgu v OPP.
Determination of the export price
Zato je normalna vrednost temeljila na dejanski domači ceni, ki je bila izračunana kot tehtana povprečna cena dobičkonosne domače prodaje v OPP.
As stated in recital (24) above, the Chinese exporting producers did not cooperate in the investigation.
Določanje izvozne cene
Therefore, the export price was based on the best information available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 24 zgoraj, noben kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik ni sodeloval v preiskavi.
The volume and the import prices were first extracted from the Eurostat import database for the three CN codes listed in recital (18) above, namely with the distinction of the quality.
Izvozna cena je zato temeljila na razpoložljivih dejstvih skladno s členom 18 osnovne uredbe.
Given that it was considered appropriate to establish the export price on an average basis, the data extracted for CN codes 72022910 and 7202291090 was adjusted to the silicon content of CN code 72022100.
Obseg in uvozne cene so bili najprej pridobljeni iz podatkovne zbirke Eurostata o uvozu za tri oznake KN, navedene v uvodni izjavi 18 zgoraj, in sicer z razlikovanjem kakovosti.
This method is the one proposed in the review request to estimate the total volume of imports on the basis of the quality FeSi75.
Glede na to, da se je zdelo primerno, da se izvozna cena določi na podlagi povprečnih vrednosti, so bili podatki, pridobljeni v zvezi z oznakama KN 72022910 in 72022990, prilagojeni glede na vsebnost silicija iz oznake KN 72022100.
The volume and import prices of these three CN codes were aggregated and weighted to reflect one average.
Ta metoda je bila predlagana v zahtevku za pregled za oceno celotnega obsega uvoza na podlagi kakovosti „FeSi 75“.
Finally, this average import price at CIF level was adjusted by deducting in particular the transportation costs to arrive at the ex-works value.
Obseg in uvozne cene teh treh oznak KN so bili združeni in tehtani z upoštevanjem enega povprečja.
The sales price was thus established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the price paid or payable reported in Eurostat import statistics.
Nazadnje je bila ta povprečna uvozna cena na ravni CIF prilagojena tako, da so se odšteli zlasti stroški prevoza in je bila dosežena vrednost cene franko tovarna.
Comparison and adjustments
V skladu s členom 2(8) osnovne uredbe je bila prodajna cena tako določena na podlagi cen, ki so se dejansko plačevale ali se plačujejo in so zabeležene v statističnih podatkih urada Eurostat.
The comparison between the normal value and the export price was made on an ex-works basis.
Primerjava in prilagoditve
In order to ensure a fair comparison, account was also taken of differences which affect price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Opravljena je bila primerjava med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno na osnovi franko tovarna.
In particular, adjustments were made to reflect customs exportation taxes, on the basis of data mentioned in the review request given the lack of cooperation from Chinese exporting producers.
Za zagotovitev poštene primerjave so se v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe upoštevale tudi razlike, ki vplivajo na primerljivost cen.
Dumping during the RIP
Uvedene so bile zlasti prilagoditve, ki so odražale carinske izvozne davke, in sicer zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov na podlagi podatkov iz zahtevka za pregled.
On the basis of above, the dumping margin expressed as a percentage of the free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, was found to be 165 %.
Damping v OPP
However, it has to be noted that the total import volume of the product concerned to the Union has drastically decreased after the imposition of the original measures and that the above-mentioned dumping margin was established on the basis of a limited volume of imports (namely less than 2500 tonnes during the RIP).
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je stopnja dampinga, izražena kot odstotek cene franko meja Unije pred plačilom dajatve, znašala 165 %.
Therefore, for the completeness of the analysis, the pricing behaviour of the Chinese exporting producers on the three most important non-Union markets, namely Japan, South Korea and the United States of America (‘the USA’) was also examined.
Vendar je treba opozoriti, da se je skupni obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo drastično zmanjšal po uvedbi prvotnih ukrepov in da je bila zgoraj navedena stopnja dampinga določena na podlagi omejenega obsega uvoza (tj. manj kot 2500 ton v OPP).
For that purpose, Chinese export figures were used to establish the price of Chinese exports to Japan, South Korea and the USA.
Zato je bilo zaradi popolnosti analize proučeno tudi gibanje cen kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov na tri najpomembnejše trge zunaj Unije, tj. Japonska, Južna Koreja in Združene države Amerike („ZDA“).
The comparison with the normal value established above also showed the existence of dumping, varying between 86 % to 92 %, depending on the country of destination.
V ta namen so bili za določitev cen kitajskega izvoza na Japonsko, v Južno Korejo in v ZDA uporabljeni kitajski izvozni podatki.
Development of imports should measures be repealed
Primerjava z zgoraj določeno normalno vrednostjo je prav tako pokazala obstoj dampinga, ki se je gibal med 86 % in 92 %, odvisno od namembne države.
Production capacity of the PRC
Razvoj uvoza v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov
The PRC is by far the world's largest FeSi producing country.
Proizvodne zmogljivosti v LRK
The production capacity was estimated to be 10-11 million tonnes per year during the RIP.
LRK je daleč največja država proizvajalka fero-silicija na svetu.
Therefore, the PRC's industry operated at an estimated 50 % of its production capacity.
Proizvodna zmogljivost je bila ocenjena na 10–11 milijonov ton na leto v OPP.
This means there is a current spare capacity of around 5,5 million tonnes per annum which represents almost seven times the total Union consumption.
Zato je industrija LRK predvidoma obratovala s 50 % svoje proizvodne zmogljivosti.
In spite of this current overcapacity and based on information provided by the applicant, it appears that capacity in the PRC is still expanding as larger and more efficient furnaces are currently built.
To pomeni, da trenutna dodatna neizkoriščena zmogljivost znaša približno 5,5 milijona ton na leto, kar pomeni skoraj sedemkrat toliko, kot znaša celotna potrošnja Unije.
There is no evidence to suggest that the level of consumption on the Chinese domestic market or third country markets would significantly increase and thus absorb increased production in case the spare capacity of the Chinese producers were to be used.
Kljub tem presežnim zmogljivostim in na podlagi informacij, ki jih je predložil vložnik, je videti, da se zmogljivost v LRK še vedno povečuje, saj se trenutno gradijo večje in učinkovitejše peči.
After the imposition of definitive measures in February 2008, imports from the PRC decreased steadily and became marginal, representing less than 1 % of Union consumption during the RIP.
Privlačnost trga Unije
However, the EU market for FeSi remains attractive for Chinese exports, based on the observed price levels.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, ima LRK pomembno presežno proizvodno zmogljivost, kar kaže na močno spodbudo, da bi našli druge trge, ki bi ta presežek proizvodne zmogljivosti absorbirali.
As mentioned above, there is an important production overcapacity in the PRC suggesting a strong incentive to find alternative markets to absorb this excess in production capacity.
Najnovejši podatki kažejo, da se izvoz ohranja na tej ravni, njegov obseg pa znaša več kot celotna potrošnja Unije.
However, due to several export restrictions imposed by the Chinese government (namely a 25 % export duty, a 17 % non-refundable VAT and export licences), overall Chinese exports have decreased from a peak in 2007 of 1,5 million to just 0,4 million tonnes in 2009.
Kljub navedenim izvoznim omejitvam so kitajski proizvajalci izvažali precejšnjo količino fero-silicija na svetovne trge, za katere ni uvoznih omejitev (tj. Japonska, Južna Koreja in ZDA).
Nevertheless, as from 2010, a rebound was observed in overall exports and the volume of exports increased to 0,8 million tonnes and were estimated at 0,7 million tonnes in 2013.
Na prvi pogled se lahko zdi azijski trg alternativna možnost za absorpcijo dela kitajske presežne proizvodnje.
The most recent figures indicate a sustained level of exports, the volume of which is higher than the entire Union consumption.
Toda glede na informacije, ki jih je predložil vložnik, lahko zaradi nedavnih dogodkov na tem trgu ta trg postane manj privlačen za kitajski izvoz.
Despite those export restrictions, Chinese producers exported a significant volume of FeSi to worldwide markets not subject to any import restrictions (namely Japan, South Korea and the USA).
Na azijski trg bo namreč resno vplival zagon proizvodnje v dveh novih projektih za fero-silicij v Maleziji (obrata Pertama Ferroalloys in Sarawak Ferroalloys).
At first sight, the Asian market could be an alternative for absorbing part of the Chinese excess production.
Ocenjuje se, da se bo letna proizvodnja fero-silicija v Maleziji povečala za 420000 ton od leta 2014 in se bo prodajala v sosednjih državah v jugovzhodni Aziji, zlasti na Japonsko, ki potrebuje 600000 ton fero-silicija na leto.
However, according to information submitted by the applicant, the recent developments in that market may render it less attractive for Chinese exports.
Količina, proizvedena v malezijskih proizvodnih obratih, bo negativno vplivala na kitajski izvoz v jugovzhodno Azijo.
Indeed, he Asian market will be seriously impacted by the entry into production of two new ferrosilicon projects in Malaysia (Pertama Ferroalloys and Sarawak Ferroalloys plants).
Poleg tega so japonski proizvajalci jekla in južnokorejske jeklarne že sklenili sporazume za letni nakup znatnih količin fero-silicija novih malezijskih proizvajalcev, zaradi česar bo kitajski izvoz težje vstopil na trg.
