This is allegedly caused by the fact that companies are required to send test reports to Customs Authorities in the Union every time the Customs Authorities question if the goods being imported are subject to the measures.
Domnevni vzrok za to naj bi bilo dejstvo, da morajo družbe poslati carinskim organom v Uniji poročila o preskusu vsakokrat, ko ti organi dvomijo, ali se za uvoženo blago uporabljajo ukrepi.
The Commission considers that those types of glass should not be excluded from the scope of the investigation, because solar glass can potentially have horticultural and furniture use.
Komisija meni, da se te vrste stekla ne bi smele izključiti iz preiskave, saj se lahko solarno steklo uporablja tudi za vrtnarsko in pohištveno steklo.
In order to ensure adequate protection of the Union industry against the injurious effect of the subsidies that are countervailed, loopholes that may allow for circumvention should be avoided.
Da bi zagotovili ustrezno zaščito industrije Unije pred škodljivim učinkom izravnanih subvencij, bi morali preprečevati vrzeli, ki omogočajo izogibanje.
The positive effect of adequate protection outweighs the negative effect of the additional administrative burden arguably suffered by the importer concerned.
Pozitiven učinek ustrezne zaščite odtehta negativen učinek dodatnega upravnega bremena, ki ga je domnevno utrpel zadevni uvoznik.
The same importer also argued that float glass should be excluded from the product scope since it has a different production process than rolled glass which is perceived by the importer as the only type of solar glass.
Isti uvoznik je trdil tudi, da bi bilo treba iz obsega izdelka izključiti tudi plavljeno steklo, saj ima drugačen proizvodni proces kot valjano steklo, ki ga uvoznik šteje za edino vrsto solarnega stekla.
The importer stated that float glass home furnishing products cannot be used as solar glass and therefore should be excluded from the scope of the investigation.
Uvoznik je navedel, da izdelkov za opremljanje domov iz plavljenega stekla ni mogoče uporabljati kot solarno steklo in bi jih bilo treba izključiti iz preiskave.
However, float glass cannot be excluded from the scope of the investigation as it complies with all the technical characteristics set out above.
Vendar plavljenega stekla ni mogoče izključiti iz preiskave, saj izpolnjuje vse zgoraj navedene tehnične značilnosti.
Confidential documents provided by interested parties during the investigation have shown that float glass can be used as solar glass and it is produced by both the Union industry and the Chinese exporters.
Zaupni dokumenti, ki so jih med preiskavo predložile zainteresirane strani, so pokazali, da je mogoče plavljeno steklo dejansko uporabljati kot solarno steklo, proizvajajo pa ga tako industrija Unije kot kitajski izvozniki.
This is confirmed by publicly available information on the internet [5].
To potrjujejo javno dostopne informacije na spletu [5].
Float glass therefore remains within the scope of the investigation.
Zato plavljeno steklo ostaja vključeno v preiskavo.
The complainant alleged that the PRC is subsidising its solar glass industry.
Pritožnik je trdil, da LRK subvencionira svojo industrijo solarnega stekla.
The complaint contains prima facie evidence for several subsidy practices included in both legislation and a number of policy and planning documents which are the basis for state support of the sector.
Pritožba vsebuje prima facie dokaze o številnih subvencijskih praksah, vključenih v zakonodajo in v številne dokumente politike in načrtovanja, ki so podlaga za državno podporo v tem sektorju.
The Commission reviewed and analysed the documents mentioned in the complaint as well as additional documents submitted by the GOC and by sampled exporting producers in the course of the investigation and found that many of these documents show that the solar glass industry in the PRC receives preferential treatment in many areas.
Komisija je pregledala in analizirala dokumente, navedene v pritožbi, ter dodatne dokumente, ki so jih med potekom preiskave predložili kitajska vlada in vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki, ter ugotovila, da je iz veliko teh dokumentov razvidno, da se industrija solarnega stekla v LRK na številnih področjih obravnava preferenčno.
The GOC has included the solar glass industry amongst ‘key’ industries in the 12th Five Year Plan [6].
Kitajska vlada je industrijo solarnega stekla v 12. petletnem načrtu vključila med „ključne“ industrije [6].
The GOC has also issued a specific policy paper, ‘The 12th Five Year Plan for the Solar Photovoltaic Industry’ which establishes glass as a key focus ancillary material for the photovoltaic (PV) industry for which domestic production is required.
Kitajska vlada je izdala tudi poseben politični dokument, tj. „12. petletni načrt za solarno fotonapetostno industrijo“, v okviru katerega je steklo opredeljeno kot ključni glavni dodatni material v fotonapetostni industriji, ki ga je treba proizvesti doma.
The Plan requires that government will support industry development and technological innovation and attract funds to the industry.
V načrtu se od vlade zahteva, da podpre razvoj industrije in tehnološke inovacije ter pridobi sredstva za industrijo.
Following disclosure the GOC challenged the Commission’s citation of the 12th Five Year Plan in the context of solar glass.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izpodbijala sklicevanje Komisije na 12. petletni načrt v zvezi s solarnim steklom.
This was rejected as the Plan specifically mentions solar glass, in chapter 9, column 6, regarding ‘Key fields of development of manufacturing’.
Ta kritika je bila zavrnjena, saj načrt izrecno omenja solarno steklo, in sicer v poglavju 9, stolpec 6, v zvezi s „ključnimi razvojnimi področji proizvodnje“.
The 12th Five Year Plan clearly sets out the GOCs priorities for the period it covers, and one of those priorities is the manufacture of solar glass.
petletni načrt jasno določa prednostne naloge kitajske vlade za obdobje, ki ga zajema, pri čemer je ena od teh prednostnih nalog proizvodnja solarnega stekla.
Following disclosure the GOC challenged the Commission’s reading of the ‘12th Five Year Plan for the Solar PV Industry’, stating that it did not support the Commission’s conclusions.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izpodbijala razlago „12. petletnega načrta za solarno fotonapetostno industrijo“ s strani Komisije z navedbo, da ni izražala sklepov Komisije.
However this challenge was rejected, as it clearly contradicts information received from other GOC departments.
Vendar je bila ta kritika zavrnjena, saj jasno nasprotuje informacijam, prejetim od drugih oddelkov kitajske vlade.
During the visit to the GOC, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (‘MIIT’) explained themselves that solar glass is covered by this plan which focusses strongly on improving quality, as good quality solar glass was vital for the encouragement of the solar PV industry.
Ministrstvo za industrijo in informacijsko tehnologijo („MIIT“) je med obiskom pri kitajski vladi pojasnilo, da je solarno steklo vključeno v ta načrt, ki je močno usmerjen v izboljševanje kakovosti, saj je visokokakovostno solarno steklo ključnega pomena za spodbujanje solarne fotonapetostne industrije.
The importance of innovation and new materials in general is noted in the ‘12th Five Year Industrial Technology Innovation Programme’ [7] intended to implement the Five Year Plan and also the ‘Long term Science and Technology Development Plan’ [8].
Pomen inovacij in novih materialov na splošno je poudarjen v „12. petletnem programu za industrijske tehnološke inovacije“ [7], ki je bil pripravljen za izvajanje „Načrta za dolgoročni razvoj znanosti in tehnologije“ [8].
Its strong focus on technological innovation includes the development of new materials.
V njem so močno poudarjene tehnološke inovacije, ki vključujejo razvoj novih materialov.
In that context, there is also a specific reference to solar glass.
V tem okviru obstaja tudi izrecna navedba v zvezi s solarnim steklom.
Following disclosure the GOC challenged the Commission’s conclusions, saying that solar glass was not mentioned in either of these documents.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izpodbijala sklepe Komisije s trditvijo, da solarno steklo ni bilo omenjeno v nobenem od teh dokumentov.
The Commission notes that both these documents are designed to offer special assistance to high technology enterprises, as was discussed in recitals 401 and 402 of Council Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013 [9] (‘the solar panels Regulation’), where the same arguments were made by the GOC.
Komisija ugotavlja, da sta oba dokumenta namenjena zagotavljanju posebne pomoči visokotehnološkim podjetjem, kot obravnavata uvodni izjavi 401 in 402 Izvedbene uredbe Sveta (EU) št. 1239/2013 [9] („uredba o sončnih ploščah“), kjer je enako trdila kitajska vlada.
Both documents implement the 12th Five Year Plan and the plan for the Solar PV Industry, and assist high and new technology enterprises, which includes many solar glass manufacturers.
Oba dokumenta upoštevata 12. petletni načrt in načrt za solarno fotonapetostno industrijo ter pomagata visokotehnološkim podjetjem in podjetjem z novo tehnologijo, vključno s številnimi proizvajalci solarnega stekla.
The ‘Decision No 40 of the State Council on Promulgating and Implementing the “Temporary Provisions on Promoting the Industrial Structure Adjustment”’ (which, together with the attached ‘Temporary Provisions on Promoting the Industrial Structure Adjustment’ are referred to as ‘Decision No 40’) states that the GOC will actively support the development of new energy industries and expedite the development of solar energy [10]; instructs all financial institutions to provide credit support only to encouraged projects (the category in which the solar glass projects belong); and promises the implementation of ‘other preferential policies on the encouraged projects’ [11].
„Sklep št. 40 državnega sveta o razglasitvi in izvajanju začasnih določb o spodbujanju prilagajanja industrijske strukture“ (ki se skupaj s priloženimi „začasnimi določbami o spodbujanju prilagajanja industrijske strukture“ imenuje „sklep št. 40“) navaja, da bo kitajska vlada dejavno podpirala razvoj nove energetske industrije in pospešila razvoj sončne energije [10], naroča vsem finančnim institucijam, naj zagotovijo kreditno podporo samo za spodbujane projekte (kategorija, v katero sodijo projekti v zvezi s solarnim steklom), ter napoveduje izvajanje „drugih politik ugodnosti za spodbujane projekte“ [11].
Following disclosure the GOC disputed the Commission’s reading of both Article 5 and Article 17 of the ‘Temporary Provisions on Promoting the Industrial Structure Adjustment’.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju oporekala razlagi členov 5 in 17 „začasnih določb o spodbujanju prilagajanja industrijske strukture“ s strani Komisije.
The GOC stated that Article 5 does not mention solar glass.
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da člen 5 ne omenja solarnega stekla.
However as it mentions the encouragement of solar energy, which requires solar glass, the Commission considers that this includes solar glass within the ambit of the Temporary Provisions.
Vendar ker omenja spodbujanje solarne energije, za katero je potrebno solarno steklo, Komisija meni, da to vključuje solarno steklo s področja uporabe začasnih določb.
The GOC then challenged the Commission’s understanding of Article 17, which, while stating that only encouraged industries should receive credit support, orders that this should be done ‘according to the credit principles’ rather than on a preferential basis.
Kitajska vlada je nato izpodbijala način, kako Komisija razlaga člen 17, ki navaja, da bi morale kreditno podporo prejeti le spodbujane industrije, vendar določa, da je treba to zagotavljati „v skladu s kreditnimi načeli“ in ne preferenčno.
No evidence was found in the inspection of the sampled companies, or during the visit to the GOC, that this provision was complied with.
Pri pregledu vzorčenih družb ali med obiskom pri kitajski vladi ni bil odkrit noben dokaz, da je bila ta določba izpolnjena.
The banks concerned did not cooperate with the investigation to allow this provision to be tested or verified.
Zadevne banke niso sodelovale pri preiskavi, da bi omogočile presojo ali preverjanje te določbe.
In fact, the investigation has shown that certain enterprises benefit from the preferential lending policies.
Preiskava je dejansko pokazala, da nekatera podjetja izkoriščajo preferenčno posojilno politiko.
The Commission therefore rejects the assertion of the GOC that lending to the solar glass industry was done ‘according to the credit principles’.
Zato Komisija zavrača trditev kitajske vlade, da je bilo posojilo industriji solarnega stekla zagotovljeno „v skladu s kreditnimi načeli“.
The key point remains that all financial institutions shall provide credit to encouraged industries, which includes the manufacture of solar glass, and that that support is de facto provided on preferential terms.
Še vedno je ključna točka, da vse finančne institucije zagotavljajo kreditno podporo spodbujanim industrijam, ki vključujejo proizvodnjo solarnega stekla, in da se ta podpora dejansko zagotavlja preferenčno.
In 2011 the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC), gave a recommendation to the State Council to revise the programme in Decision No 40.
Komisija za nacionalni razvoj in reforme je leta 2011 državnemu svetu priporočila, naj spremeni program v sklepu št. 40.
The State Council issued ‘Decision No 9 of the State Council on Promulgating and Implementing the Guidance Catalogue for the Industrial Structure Adjustment’ (‘Decision No 9’).
Državni svet je izdal „Sklep št. 9 državnega sveta o razglasitvi in izvajanju glavnega kataloga o prilagajanju industrijske strukture“ („sklep št. 9“).
This document ‘actively encourages’ the GOC and public agencies to ‘guide the development of relevant industries, optimise the upgrading of the industrial structure.’
Ta dokument kitajsko vlado in javne agencije „dejavno spodbuja“ k „usmerjanju razvoja ustreznih industrij in optimizaciji nadgradnje industrijske strukture.“ V točki 12(2) sklepa št. 9 je posebej navedeno, naj se spodbuja proizvodnja „ultra čistega plavljenega stekla za industrijo sončne energije“.
Point 12(2) of Decision No 9 mentions specifically the encouragement of ‘ultra-clear float glass for solar energy industry’ production.
Nacionalni okvir za srednjeročne in dolgoročne znanosti in tehnološki razvoj (obdobje 2006–2020), ki ga je sprejela kitajska vlada, napoveduje, da bo „na prvo mesto postavil finance politike“, „spodbujal finančne institucije k dodeljevanju preferenčne kreditne podpore velikim nacionalnim projektom znanstvene in tehnološke industrializacije“, „spodbujal finančne institucije k izboljšanju in krepitvi finančnih storitev za visokotehnološka podjetja“ in „izvajal preferenčne davčne politike za spodbujanje razvoja visokotehnoloških podjetij“.
The National Outline for the Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development (2006 – 2020), adopted by the GOC, promises to ‘give the first place to policy finance’, ‘encourage financial institutions to grant preferential credit support to major national scientific and technological industrialisation projects’, to ‘Encourage financial institutions to improve and strengthen financial services to high-tech enterprises’ and to ‘implement the preferential tax policies to promote the development of high-tech enterprises’.
Proizvodnja solarnega stekla sodi pod opis visokotehnoloških podjetij, kot kaže število proizvajalcev s statusom podjetja z novo tehnologijo ali visokotehnološkega podjetja, in je nova industrija na Kitajskem in v Uniji.
Solar glass production falls under the description of a high technology enterprise, as is shown by the number of manufacturers with New and High Technology status and is a new industry, both in China and in the Union.
V zvezi s tem želi Komisija poudariti tudi, da je ena od vzorčenih družb iz sklada komisije za nacionalni razvoj in reforme prejela posebna nepovratna sredstva kot nagrado za inovacije na področju solarnega stekla, kar jasno kaže na interes kitajske vlade za ta visokotehnološki sektor.
In this context the Commission would also point out that one of the sampled companies received a specific grant from the National Development and Reform Commission (NDRC) to reward them for their innovation in the field of solar glass, clearly showing the GOC’s interest in this high technology sector.
Pritožnik je trdil, da so domnevne subvencije sestavljene iz shem, navedenih v oddelku C.2.
The complainant has claimed that the alleged subsidies consist of the schemes listed in Section C.2 below.
Komisija je po pregledu vzorčenih družb v LRK in obisku kitajske vlade analizirala te sheme, v okviru katerih so vzorčene družbe prejele ugodnosti v obdobju preiskave.
Following the inspection of the sampled companies in the PRC, and a visit to the GOC, the Commission analysed these schemes, where sampled companies received a benefit during the investigation period.
Druge ugotovljene subvencijske sheme
Other identified subsidy schemes
Med pregledom vzorčenih družb je analiza njihovih notranjih evidenc razkrila subvencije s strani pokrajinskih, mestnih, deželnih ali okrajnih vladnih organov.
During the inspection of the sampled companies, analysis of their internal records brought to light subsidies from provincial, city, county or district government authorities.
Te subvencije niso bile posebej navedene v pritožbi.
These subsidies had not been listed specifically in the complaint.
Na podlagi informacij, ki so na voljo Komisiji, ni jasno, ali gre za ad hoc subvencije ali lokalne subvencijske programe.
On the basis of the information at the Commission’s disposal, it is unclear whether these are ad hoc subsidies or local subsidy programmes.
Vendar pa lokalen značaj teh shem pomeni, da od pritožnikov ni bilo mogoče upravičeno pričakovati, da so s podrobnostmi teh subvencij seznanjeni, in zato slednje niso bile neposredno navedene v pritožbi.
However, the local nature of these schemes means that the complainants could not reasonably be expected to be aware of the details of those subsidies and therefore there is no direct mention of these subsidies in the complaint.
Komisija je v zvezi s temi drugimi subvencijami, specifičnimi za družbo ali lokacijo, ki so bile ugotovljene v okviru evidenc vzorčenih družb med preveritvenimi obiski in ki niso bile navedene v pritožbi, ponudila dodatna posvetovanja s kitajsko vlado.
The Commission offered additional consultations with the GOC regarding these other subsidies that are company or location specific; that were found in the records of the sampled companies during the verification visits; and not listed in the complaint.
Komisija je kitajsko vlado povabila na posvetovanja, da bi zagotovila ustrezen postopek med preiskavo.
These consultations were offered by the Commission to ensure due process during the investigation.
Kitajska vlada je povabilo zavrnila, pri čemer je trdila, da tako povabilo ne bi bilo v skladu s Sporazumom o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih („SIU“).
The GOC declined this offer claiming that such an offer would not be in line with the Agreement on Subsidies and Countervailing Measures (ASCM).
Komisija meni, da so te druge subvencije tesno povezane z vrstami ukrepov in praksami, navedenimi v pritožbi in v obvestilu o začetku.
The Commission considers that these other subsidies are closely connected to the types of measures and practices alleged in the complaint and the Notice of Initiation These measures involve the same kind of financial contribution and benefit with respect to the product concerned and thus fall under the definition of ‘subsidy practice or practices to be investigated’ which Article 22.2 (iii) of the ASCM requires to be specified in the Notice of Initiation.
Ti ukrepi vključujejo isto vrsto finančnega prispevka in ugodnosti v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom in zato sodijo v okvir opredelitve „subvencijske prakse ali praks, ki jih je treba preiskati“ in ki jih je v skladu s členom 22.2(iii) SIU treba navesti v obvestilu o začetku.
The schemes mentioned in the Notice of Initiation are not exhaustive, which is shown by the wording ‘the subsidies consist, inter alia, of …’ in section 3.
Sheme, navedene v obvestilu o začetku, niso izčrpne, kar kaže besedilo „subvencije so med drugim sestavljene iz“ v oddelku 3.
The Commission therefore concluded that these additional subsidies fall under the scope of this proceeding.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da te dodatne subvencije sodijo na področje uporabe tega postopka.
Following disclosure the GOC disputed the Commission’s reading of the ASCM and stated that their opinion was that the Commission had no legal basis on which to countervail a specific subsidy to one sampled exporting producer, even if that subsidy was directly linked to the subsidy practice identified by the complainants.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izpodbijala razlago SIU s strani Komisije in izrazila mnenje, da Komisija ni imela pravne podlage za izravnavo posebne subvencije za enega vzorčenega proizvajalca izvoznika, tudi če je bila ta subvencija neposredno povezana s subvencijsko prakso, ki so jo ugotovili pritožniki.
The Commission does not agree with the GOC’s interpretation of the ASCM on that point.
Komisija se ne strinja z razlago SIU v zvezi s to točko s strani kitajske vlade.
Where the complainants have identified a subsidy practice, and along with examples of national schemes, local benefits are found within the same subsidy practice, the Commission considers that it has the right to countervail any benefits found.
Kadar pritožniki ugotovijo subvencijsko prakso in se v okviru iste subvencijske prakse poleg primerov nacionalnih shem odkrijejo tudi lokalne ugodnosti, ima Komisija po njenem mnenju pravico izravnati vse odkrite ugodnosti.
In particular, this applies where the mechanics, the nature and the effects of the benefits found are the same as other schemes already identified in the complaint and the Notice of Initiation.
To zlasti velja, kadar so delovanje, narava in učinki ugotovljenih ugodnosti enaki drugim shemam, ki so že bile ugotovljene v pritožbi in obvestilu o začetku.
The Commission notified the GOC on 18 December 2013 that it would consider the use of facts available due to the lack of a response from the SOCBs to whom the GOC sent the Appendix provided to them.
Komisija je 18. decembra 2013 obvestila kitajsko vlado, da bo razmislila o uporabi razpoložljivih dejstev zaradi neodzivnosti državnih komercialnih bank, katerim je kitajska vlada poslala dodatek, ki ji je bil posredovan.
The GOC responded on 26 December 2013 and disagreed with the proposed use of Article 28 against the ‘allegedly state-owned banks’ but did not dispute the fact that the banks had not submitted a reply to the questionnaire.
Kitajska vlada se je odzvala 26. decembra 2013, pri čemer se v zvezi z „domnevnimi državnimi bankami“ ni strinjala s predlagano uporabo člena 28, vendar ni izpodbijala dejstva, da slednje niso predložile izpolnjenega vprašalnika.
The GOC also did not dispute the fact that these banks were state-owned.
Kitajska vlada tudi ni izpodbijala dejstva, da so to bile državne banke.
Therefore, the Commission had no option but to use the best facts available as far as information which was supposed to be provided by the SOCBs is concerned.
Zato Komisija ni imela druge možnosti, kot da uporabi najboljša razpoložljiva dejstva, v kolikor gre za informacije, ki naj bi jih predložile državne komercialne banke.
After disclosure the GOC challenged the use of Article 28 to replace the information that was requested in the Appendix sent to the SOCBs.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izpodbijala uporabo člena 28 za nadomestitev informacij, zahtevanih v dodatku, ki je bil poslan državnim komercialnim bankam.
The Commission does not dispute that information was provided by the GOC in this investigation and the Commission analysed it and took it into account where necessary.
Komisija ne izpodbija dejstva, da je kitajska vlada v tej preiskavi predložila informacije, ki jih je Komisija analizirala in po potrebi upoštevala.
