Known factors other than the dumped imports, which could at the same time have injured the Union industry, were also examined to ensure that the possible injury caused by these other factors was not attributed to the dumped and subsidized imports.
Kar zadeva zvišanje cen po OP, so dogodki po OP zunaj obsega te preiskave.
Effect of dumped and subsidized imports
Poleg tega tudi niso bili predloženi nikakršni utemeljeni dokazi o dejanskem zvišanju cen, ki naj bi se zgodili po OP.
The investigations showed that, despite the anti-dumping measures in force, the dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC increased in terms of volume (32 %) during the period considered, taking 2009 as a reference year.
Zadevni argument se zato zavrne.
This resulted in an increase in the PRC's market share from 13 % — 18 % in 2009 to 15 % — 20 % by the end of the IP.
Poleg tega je CCCLA trdila, da bi bilo treba pri povprečnem 8-odstotnem znižanju cen uvoza iz Kitajske iz uvodne izjave 226 upoštevati cene, prilagojene carinam, manipulativnim stroškom, protidampinškim dajatvam, stopnji dobička za uvoznike in stroškom PSA, ki jih podpirajo uvozniki.
At the same time, and despite the increase in consumption, the Union industry saw its market share decreasing by three percentage points during the period considered.
Tako prilagojene cene bi bile potem na primerljivih ravneh s prodajnimi cenami Unije iz preglednice 7 in torej ne bi mogle odločilno vplivati na znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The average prices of the dumped and subsidized imports decreased by 8 % between 2010 and the IP, and were lower than those of the Union industry during the same period.
Pri analizi kazalnikov se vrednost CIF prodaje proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz preglednice 3 primerja s ceno franko tovarna proizvajalcev Unije iz preglednice 7.
Even after lowering its sales price, the Union industry did not succeed in maintaining its market share.
Za izračun stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen in škode so bile uporabljene prilagojene cene, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi (231).
This price decrease was at the expense of profitability, leading to a loss-making situation.
Komisija v zvezi s tem poudarja, da je nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen le eden od kazalnikov škode, ki jih je treba upoštevati, pri analizi pa bi bilo treba upoštevati vse.
Based on the above, it is concluded that the price level of the dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC together with the increase in volume, had a considerably negative impact on the economic situation of the Union industry and therefore played a decisive role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Trditev se zato zavrne.
Following the definitive disclosure, several parties claimed that there is a lack of analysis proving that Chinese imports caused the depressed pricing by the Union industry and the injury suffered and that the Commission merely relies on coincidence in time in its analysis.
Učinki drugih dejavnikov
These parties refer to the China X-Ray Equipment panel report:
Uvoz iz drugih držav
‘The Panel acknowledges that an overall correlation between dumped imports and injury to the domestic industry may support a finding of causation.
V spodnji preglednici so prikazani obseg uvoza iz tretjih držav, povprečne cene na enoto in tržni delež v obravnavanem obdobju.
However, such a coincidence analysis is not dispositive of the causation question; causation and correlation are two distinct concepts.
Preglednica 12
In the circumstances of this case, […], the causation question is not resolved by such a general finding of coincidence’.
Obseg uvoza (v metričnih tonah), povprečne cene na enoto (v EUR/tono)
[40]
Tretje države skupaj
However, the conclusions are based on an analysis of an extensive list of indicators.
obseg (v tonah)
As set out above in section D, the examination of the impact of the dumped and subsidized imports included an evaluation of all relevant economic facts and indices having a bearing on the state of the Union industry.
14–19 %
Many indicators pointed to an injurious situation.
22–27 %
In such situation the only reason for the Union industry to lower prices is to keep market share, or at least not to lose further market share, when it is facing competition on price.
21–26 %
After the imposition of the original measures, the Union industry managed to increase its prices in 2011, but in the following years had to lower its prices whereas the cost of production did not go down.
20–25 %
As further detailed in recitals 320-335 below, exports from third countries were mainly made at high prices over the whole of the period considered, and third country market share remained fairly stable and went even down as from 2011.
Malezija
Therefore the Union industry did not lower its prices because of the imports from third countries, but because of the low dumped and subsidized imports from the PRC.
povprečna cena za tono (v EUR)
Since 2011, only imports from the PRC increased significantly, only imports from the PRC took away market share from the Union industry, and only import prices from the PRC went down.
2–7 %
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the depressed pricing by the Union industry and the injury suffered were caused by the increase in the dumped and subsidized imports from the PRC.
7–12 %
Other factors that might break this causal link are analysed below.
Norveška
The CCCLA and the government of the PRC claimed that there is absence of price depression or price suppression as ‘the sales price decrease of the Union producers is not significant since it only peaked at 2 % during the period considered’.
0–5 %
Several parties also claimed that a 1 % decrease in Union sales, a 2 % increase in the market share of the imports from the PRC and a 3 % decrease in the Union industry's market share does not justify the proposed drastic measures.
Turčija
The Commission reiterates as stated above that following the provisional duties of September 2010, the Union industry was able to increase its prices in 2011.
Zadevni izdelek se uvaža iz LRK ter še predvsem iz Malezije, Norveške in Turčije.
However, as from 2011 the unit sales prices fell by 10 %.
V manjšem obsegu se uvaža tudi iz Mehike, Združenih držav in Tajvana.
Therefore, there is clearly a significant drop in sales prices.
Cena večine uvoza iz tretjih držav (razen majhnih količin iz Tajvana) je bila znatno višja od cen uvoza iz Kitajske.
Even though there are anti-dumping measures in force, the Union industry continued to suffer from a decrease in sales volume, price and market share, whereas at the same time the Chinese imports increased its sales volume and market share to a level significantly higher than the investigation period of the original investigation.
Poleg tega so bile povprečne cene uvoza iz drugih držav na splošno višje ali podobne kot cene industrije Unije.
Normally, once measures are imposed, the Union industry is supposed to recover from the effects of past dumping or subsidisation.
Največji delež uvoza iz tretjih držav v Unijo pripada Maleziji (40 %).
This was clearly not the case.
Vendar je bil uvoz iz Malezije omejen na eno vrsto izdelkov iz steklenih vlaken, in sicer na rezane niti.
Following some signs of recovery immediately after the imposition of measures, the situation of the Union industry further deteriorated in the course of the period considered.
Tržni delež Malezije na trgu Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal.
One unrelated importer stated that there was no need for the Union producers to decrease prices to the extent they have done, as the Union market had more demand than supply.
Uvozne cene rezanih niti iz Malezije so bile v povprečju tudi višje od cen uvoza iz LRK in skoraj enako visoke kot cene industrije Unije.
The government of the PRC claimed that the decrease in Union sales prices as well as the decrease in Chinese import prices cannot be seen in isolation from the global price developments of the product concerned and are in line with the normal course of the market.
Poleg tega so se cene proizvajalcev Unije med letoma 2010 in 2011, ko so bile uvedene začasne dajatve zoper LRK, kljub malezijskim cenam zvišale.
In addition, the government of the PRC claims that the Commission did not verify whether the market would permit price increases in 2011 (after the imposition of measures in the previous investigation) when seen against the global context and if so, to what extent.
Če bi malezijske cene res povzročale znatno škodo industriji Unije, proizvajalci Unije ne bi mogli zvišati cen, ko so bile uvedene začasne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz iz LRK.
Moreover, the Commission has incorrectly refused to accept evidence provided on post-IP price increases by the Union producers and they refer hereby to the Solar glass and Personal fax machine cases.
Uvoz iz Malezije je konkurenčen proizvodnji industrije Unije, vendar je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju predstavljal stabilen dejavnik, kar zadeva ceno, vrsto izdelka in količine.
[41]
Drugi največji delež uvoza iz tretjih držav v Unijo pripada Norveški.
The Commission considered that the statement that demand exceeded supply was not substantiated.
Tržni delež Norveške na trgu Unije se v obravnavanem obdobju ni spreminjal.
The loss in market share and the increase in stock levels do not indicate that demand was higher than supply, but rather the contrary.
Povprečne uvozne cene na izdelek iz Norveške so bile višje od cen uvoza iz LRK.
As to the claim of the government of the PRC, the price developments considered are related to sales on the Union market and not on a global level.
Uvoz iz Norveške predstavljajo predvsem rovingi, ki jih izdeluje družba, ki je del iste skupine kot eden od proizvajalcev Unije.
On the Union market, the competition between the like product and the product concerned is at price level.
Poleg tega se vsa norveška proizvodnja prodaja prek proizvajalca Unije.
As demonstrated above, the price decrease cannot be attributed to other factors than this price competition (in view of a fairly stable cost of production and of Union consumption).
Zato Norveške ne štejemo za konkurenčno tretjo državo.
Furthermore, the government of the PRC did not provide further information on the global price developments.
Tretji največji delež uvoza iz tretjih držav v Unijo pripada Turčiji.
Therefore, this claim was found to be unsubstantiated.
Tržni delež Turčije na trgu Unije se v obravnavanem obdobju ni spreminjal.
As to the claim on post IP price increases, post IP events go beyond the scope of this investigation.
Uvozne cene na vrsto izdelka so bile za podobni izdelek v povprečju tudi precej višje od cen uvoza iz LRK.
In any event, no substantive evidence of actual price increases which would have materialised after the IP, has been provided.
Vlada LRK je navedla tudi, da so se zaloge Unije leta 2011 po močnem povečanju uvoza iz tretjih držav povečale, medtem ko se je uvoz iz LRK istega leta zmanjšal.
Therefore, this claim is rejected.
Med letoma 2010 in 2011 se je uvoz iz Kitajske dejansko zmanjšal, uvoz iz tretjih držav pa povečal.
In addition, the CCCLA claimed that the average Chinese import price decrease of 8 % as referred to in recital 226 should have taken account of the prices adjusted for customs duty and handling, the anti-dumping duty, the profit margin for importers and the SG&A costs supported by importers.
Vendar je industrija Unije v letih 2010 in 2011 še poslovala z dobičkom, potem pa je začela ustvarjati izgubo, kar je sovpadlo s povečanjem dampinškega in subvencioniranega uvoza iz LRK.
Those adjusted prices would then be at comparable levels with the Union sales prices, as stated in table 7, and could therefore not have played a decisive role in the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav se je po letu 2011 zmanjšal, zato ne more biti vzrok za to, da je po tem letu industrija Unije začela ustvarjati izgubo.
For the indicator analysis the CIF value of the exporting producers' sales of table 3 is compared with the ex-works price of the Union producers of table 7.
Na podlagi navedenega se upravičeno ugotavlja, da je del uvoza iz drugih držav morda res negativno vplival na industrijo Unije, vendar ne v tolikšni meri, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim in subvencioniranim uvozom iz LRK ter škodo, povzročeno industriji Unije.
For the undercutting and injury margin calculations, adjusted prices were used indeed as explained in recital 231 above.
Vlada LRK je izrecno zahtevala podrobnosti o naboru izdelkov, uvoženih iz tretjih držav, ki niso razvidne iz statističnih podatkov Eurostata.
In this respect, the Commission stresses that the undercutting is only one indicator to be looked at, but that all of the injury indicators should be taken together for the analysis.
Komisija je pri analizi uvoza iz tretjih držav nabor izdelkov v celoti upoštevala, in sicer s primerjavo cen na vrsto izdelka tretjih držav z ustreznimi cenami na vrsto izdelka Unije.
Therefore the claim is rejected.
Ker je za vse tri tretje države samo en proizvajalec, natančnih podatkov zaradi zaupnosti ni bilo mogoče razkriti.
Effects of other factors
Vlada LRK je trdila, da sklep Komisije, da je del uvoza iz tretjih držav morda vplival na položaj proizvajalcev Unije, ni pa prekinil vzročne zveze, ni objektiven in ne temelji na utemeljeni analizi.
Imports from other countries
Tri glavne tretje države, ki so izvažale podobni izdelek v Unijo, so Malezija, Norveška in Turčija.
The volume of imports from third countries, the average unit prices and the market share during the period considered are shown in the table below.
Kot je bilo že navedeno, je bil uvoz iz Malezije osredotočen na eno vrsto izdelka in se je izvajal po cenah, primerljivih s cenami Unije.
Table 12
Norveški proizvajalec se zaradi že navedenih razlogov ne šteje za konkurenco iz tretjih držav.
Import volume (metric tonnes), average unit prices (EUR/tonne)
Tržni delež turškega uvoza se v obravnavanem obdobju ni spreminjal in je bil razmeroma majhen.
Total third countries
Trditev, da je uvoz iz tretjih držav prekinil vzročno zvezo, se zato zavrne.
Volumes (Tonnes)
Vlada LRK je trdila še, da Komisija ni upoštevala učinkov uvoza iz Tajvana in Mehike, pri katerem so opazne velike spremembe cen in obsega.
14 % - 19 %
Uvoz iz Tajvana in Mehike je bil tako omejen, da ne bi mogel prekiniti vzročne zveze.
22 % - 27 %
Poleg tega je vlada LRK trdila, da Komisija pri analizi kopičenja zalog iz Kitajske ni upoštevala dejstva, da se je uvoz iz tretjih držav med letoma 2010 in 2011 povečal za več kot 40 %.
21 % - 26 %
Iz statističnih podatkov (glej uvodno izjavo 224) je razvidno, da se je kopičenje zalog kitajskih izdelkov izvajalo v drugem in tretjem četrtletju leta 2010 (za porabo pred koncem leta 2010/na začetku leta 2011 zaradi omejenega roka uporabe).
20 % - 25 %
Povečanje uvoza iz tretjih držav je bilo evidentirano leta 2011, ko ni bilo več učinka kopičenja zalog in so bili uvedeni ukrepi zoper uvoz iz LRK, kar se je izkazalo za koristno za proizvajalce iz tretjih držav.
Malaysia
Ta trditev se zato zavrne.
Av. price/Tonne (EUR)
Stroški proizvodnje
2 % - 7 %
Več strani je navedlo, da je povečanje stroškov proizvodnje industrije Unije, ki je bilo zlasti posledica povečanja stroškov surovin, energije, prevoza in zaposlenih, negativno vplivalo na dobičkonosnost industrije Unije.
7 % - 12 %
Ena stran je kot pomemben stroškovni dejavnik navedla tudi dejstvo, da stranke niso vračale vreten, ni pa natančneje opredelila vpliva stroškov.
Norway
Strani so svoje trditve podprle z navedki proizvajalcev Unije, v katerih so ti navajali, da se res spoprijemajo s povečanjem stroškov.
0 % - 5 %
Industrija Unije se je res spoprijemala s povečanjem stroškov surovin, energije, prevoza in zaposlenih.
Turkey
Vendar so se, kot je razvidno iz preglednice 8, povprečni stroški proizvodnje industrije Unije na tono med letom 2010 in OP povečali le za 1 %.
Besides the PRC, the product concerned is imported mainly from Malaysia, Norway and Turkey.
To pomeni, da je lahko industrija Unije večino povečanj stroškov izravnala z večjo učinkovitostjo in večjo produktivnostjo.
Some minor imports also come from Mexico, the United States and Taiwan.
Zato se ugotavlja, da povečanje stroškov proizvodnje ni prispevalo k škodi in zato ni moglo prekiniti vzročne zveze.
The overall market share of the third countries was characterised by a sharp increase between 2010 and 2011.
Več strani je po dokončnem razkritju svoje trditve ponovilo brez predložitve novih argumentov.
Subsequently, the market share decreased in the IP.
Razvoj potrošnje
The majority of imports from third countries (with the exception of some small quantities from Taiwan) were priced significantly higher than the Chinese imports.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, se je potrošnja Unije med letom 2010 in OP povečala za 3 %.
Moreover, the overall average prices of imports from other countries were higher than or similar to the Union industry's prices.
Po navedbah industrije Unije in številnih uporabnikov je pričakovati, da se bo glede na nova področja uporabe podobnega izdelka potrošnja še povečala.
Malaysia accounted for the largest share of the third country imports into the Union (40 %).
Vendar industrija Unije ni uspela obdržati tržnega deleža in ga je del celo izgubila, medtem ko se je tržni delež dampinškega in subvencioniranega uvoza iz LRK od leta 2011 povečeval.
However, the imports from Malaysia were limited to one type of filament glass fibre products, namely chopped strands.
Spremembe potrošnje v Uniji torej niso mogle prekiniti vzročne zveze med škodo ter dampinškim in subvencioniranim uvozom iz LRK.
Malaysia's market share on the Union market increased over the period considered.
Nezadostna proizvodna zmogljivost in zaloge v Uniji
On average, the chopped strands import prices from Malaysia were also higher than those from the PRC and nearly as high as those from the Union industry.
Vlada LRK je trdila, da morebitno škodo povzroča nezadostna proizvodna zmogljivost proizvajalcev Unije.
In addition, Malaysian prices did not prevent the prices of the Union producers to increase between 2010 and 2011 when provisional duties were imposed against the PRC.
Vlada LRK se je sklicevala na številne finančne izkaze proizvajalcev Unije.
If Malaysian prices were truly inflicting material injury on the Union industry, the Union producers could not have increased their prices when the provisional anti-dumping duties were imposed on imports from the PRC.
Ravni zalog so bile leta 2010 res nizke, kot je razvidno iz preglednice 10.
Imports from Malaysia are competing with Union industry production but have been a stable factor throughout the period considered, in terms of price, product type and quantities.
To je bila posledica zmanjšanja ravni proizvodnje leta 2009, ko so bile številne proizvodne linije razstavljene, začasno zaprte ali skrajšane zaradi nižanja cen in izgube tržnega deleža, ki ju je povzročil dampinški uvoz iz LRK [42].
Imports from Norway accounted for the second largest share of third country imports into the Union.
Vendar je industrija Unije leta 2011 ravni zalog povečala za več kot 150 % in jih od tedaj še vedno povečuje.
Norway's market share on the Union market stayed stable over the period considered.
Sklicevanje na izkaze majhnih zalog samo za leto 2010 ni ustrezno, pač pa je treba gibanje razbrati za celotno obravnavano obdobje.
The average import prices per product type from Norway have been higher than those from the PRC.
Poleg tega se nekateri navedki nanašajo na zmanjšane ravni proizvodne zmogljivosti zaradi popravil/ponovne postavitve peči.
These Norwegian imports are mainly rovings made by one single company belonging to the same group as one of the Union producers.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 241, so takšna popravila/ponovne postavitve del tega sektorja, zato je kopičenje zalog zaradi popravila/ponovne postavitve peči povsem običajno, saj omogoča neprekinjeno oskrbovanje ključnih strank.
Moreover, all of the Norwegian production is sold through the Union producer.
Poleg tega bi lahko industrija Unije vlagala v večjo zmogljivost, če bi bili zagotovljeni pošteni konkurenčni pogoji, ki bi industriji Unije omogočili ustvarjanje dobička, s katerim bi bilo povečanje zmogljivosti upravičeno in izvedljivo.
Hence we do not consider Norway to be third country competition.
Šteje se, da so zmogljivost proizvodnje in zaloge Unije zadostne, zato niso mogle prispevati k škodi ter niso mogle prekiniti vzročne zveze med dampinškim in subvencioniranim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Imports from Turkey accounted for the third largest share of third country imports into the Union.
Vpliv gospodarske krize
Turkey's market share on the Union market stayed stable over the period considered.
Več strani je trdilo, da je škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povzročila gospodarska kriza, zaradi katere se je povpraševanje uporabniških industrij (kot sta avtomobilska industrija in trg vetrne energije) močno zmanjšalo.
On average, the import prices per product type of the like product were also significantly higher than those from the PRC.
Vlada LRK se je sklicevala na številne proizvajalce Unije, med drugim na finančne izkaze družbe European Owens Corning Fibreglass SPRL („EOCF“) za leto 2010, v katerih je navedeno, da „to zmanjšanje delno pojasnjuje močna odvisnost te dejavnosti od trga vetrne energije, na katerem se stanje še naprej poslabšuje zaradi težav, ki jih imajo sodelujoči subjekti na tem trgu pri financiranju novih projektov“, finančne izkaze družbe Lanxess za leto 2011, v katerih je navedeno, da „je družba LANXESS po uvedbi protidampinških ukrepov zoper uvoz iz Kitajske lahko zvišala svoje prodajne cene.
The government of the PRC also stated that Union stocks increased in 2011 following a massive increase in imports from third countries, whilst imports from the PRC decreased in the same year.
Vendar v drugi polovici leta 2011 zaradi negativnega gospodarskega gibanja beležimo 16-odstotno znižanje v primerjavi z letom 2010“, ter finančne izkaze EOCF za leto 2012, v katerih je navedeno, da je višina prihodkov od prodaje v letu 2012 „predvsem posledica trajajoče gospodarske krize, ki jim ne omogoča delovanja s polno zmogljivostjo.“
Indeed, between 2010 and 2011 the Chinese imports decreased and the third country imports increased.
Poleg tega je industrija Unije v letih 2010 in 2011 še poslovala z dobičkom, potem pa je začela ustvarjati izgubo, kar je sovpadlo s povečanjem dampinškega in subvencioniranega uvoza iz LRK, s katerim so se znižale prodajne cene industrije Unije.
However, the Union industry was still profitable during 2010 and 2011 and became loss making afterwards which coincided with the increase of dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC.
Lahko bi se štelo, da je upad gospodarske rasti med letoma 2010 in 2011 prispeval k poslabšanju gospodarskega položaja industrije Unije.
Third country imports decreased after 2011 and can therefore not be the reason why the Union industry became loss making subsequently.
Vendar pa upad gospodarske rasti ne pojasni izgube, ki jo je industrija Unije ustvarjala v letu 2012 in OP.
For the above reasons, it is reasonable to conclude that whereas part of the imports from other countries might have affected negatively the Union industry, it has not been to the extent as to break the causal link between dumped and subsidised imports from the PRC and the injury to the Union industry.
Največje izgube so se pojavile v obdobju takoj po upadu gospodarske rasti, ko se je potrošnja spet začela povečevati.
Following the definitive disclosure, several parties claimed that the product mix as used for the undercutting analysis (price comparisons between Chinese and Union producers) has not been used for imports from third countries.
V zvezi z navedkom družbe Owens Corning za leto 2011 je treba omeniti, da gre za navedek družbe EOCF, ki je trgovalni subjekt družbe Owens Corning za vse posle v Evropi in na Bližnjem vzhodu.
The government of the PRC explicitly requested details on the product mix of the third country imports which are not discernible from Eurostat statistics.
Družba EOCF je v tem obdobju poleg podobnega izdelka prodajala tudi netkane izdelke, tkanine, strešne izdelke (skodle) in izolacijske izdelke, ki v tem postopku niso zajeti.
