Having determined, after consulting the Advisory Committee, that sufficient prima facie evidence existed for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission initiated an investigation by Regulation (EU) No 1356/2013 [6] (the initiating Regulation) of the possible circumvention of anti-dumping measures imposed on imports of certain open mesh fabrics of glass fibres originating in the People's Republic of China and also directed the customs authorities to register imports into the Union of open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35 g/m2, excluding fibreglass discs, originating in the People's Republic of China, currently falling within CN code ex70194000 (TARIC codes 7019400011, 7019400021 and 7019400050), as from 19 December 2013.
Ko je Komisija po posvetovanju s svetovalnim odborom ugotovila, da obstajajo zadostni dokazi prima facie za začetek preiskave na podlagi člena 13(3) in člena 14(5) osnovne uredbe, je začela preiskavo z Uredbo (EU) št. 1356/2013 [6] („uredba o začetku preiskave“) glede možnega izogibanja protidampinškim ukrepom, uvedenim na uvoz nekaterih tkanin z odprto mrežno strukturo iz steklenih vlaken s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, in carinskim organom tudi naložila, da registrirajo uvoz tkanin z odprto mrežno strukturo iz steklenih vlaken z velikostjo celice več kot 1,8 mm po dolžini in širini ter težo več kot 35 g/m2, razen diskov iz steklenih vlaken, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, ki se trenutno uvrščajo pod oznako KN ex70194000 (oznake TARIC 7019400011, 7019400021 in 7019400050), v Unijo, in sicer od 19. decembra 2013.
The product concerned is the same as defined in the original investigation, namely open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35 g/m2, excluding fibreglass discs, originating in the People's Republic of China (PRC), currently falling within CN codes ex70195100 and ex70195900, containing by weight more yarns than rovings.
Zadevni izdelek, kot je določen v prvotni preiskavi, so tkanine z odprto mrežno strukturo iz steklenih vlaken z velikostjo celice več kot 1,8 mm po dolžini in širini ter težo več kot 35 g/m2, razen diskov iz steklenih vlaken, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske („LRK“), ki se trenutno uvršča pod oznaki KN ex70195100 in ex70195900 in po teži vsebuje več „preje“ kot „rovinga“.
The product under investigation, namely the product allegedly used for circumventing the original measures, is the same as that defined in recital 8, but containing by weight more rovings than yarns.
Izdelek v preiskavi, tj. izdelek, ki se domnevno uporablja za izogibanje prvotnim ukrepom, je enak izdelku, kakor je opredeljen v uvodni izjavi 8, vendar po teži vsebuje več „rovinga“ kot „preje“.
Investigation and parties concerned by the investigation
Preiskava in strani, ki jih zadeva preiskava
The Commission officially advised the authorities of the PRC after the initiation of the investigation and sent questionnaires to the exporting producers in the PRC and importers in the Union known to be concerned.
Komisija je po začetku preiskave uradno obvestila organe LRK ter poslala vprašalnike proizvajalcem izvoznikom v LRK in uvoznikom v Uniji, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make themselves and their views known in writing and to request a hearing within the time limit set in the initiating Regulation.
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da v roku iz uredbe o začetku preiskave pisno izrazijo svoja stališča in zahtevajo zaslišanje.
All parties were informed that non-cooperation might lead to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation and to findings being based on facts available.
Vse strani so bile obveščene, da se lahko zaradi nesodelovanja uporabi člen 18 osnovne uredbe in posledično oblikujejo ugotovitve na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev.
No Chinese producer came forward and requested exemption from any possible extension of the current duties or made any submission relative to the investigation.
Noben kitajski proizvajalec se ni javil in zaprosil za izvzetje iz možne razširitve sedanjih dajatev ali podal svojega stališča v zvezi s preiskavo.
The European Plastic Converters association asserted that it remained neutral on the outcome of the investigation.
Združenje Evropskih predelovalcev plastike je navedlo, da ostaja nevtralno glede rezultata preiskave.
Other interested parties, such as unrelated importers and users, did not make any submission relative to the investigation.
Druge zainteresirane strani, kot so nepovezani uvozniki in uporabniki, niso predložile stališča v zvezi s preiskavo.
The Commission carried out on-the-spot investigations at the premises of the cooperating complainant Union producer Saint-Gobain Adfors CZ s.r.o., Czech Republic.
Komisija je opravila preiskave na kraju samem, tj. v prostorih sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije – pritožnika Saint-Gobain Adfors CZ s.r.o.
Investigation and reporting periods
(Češka republika).
The reporting period (RP) covered the period from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013 in order to investigate if the imports were made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the investigation that led to the existing measures.

RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
Splošni premisleki
General considerations
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe je bil obstoj domnevnih praks izogibanja ukrepom ocenjen z zaporedno analizo naslednjega:
In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the assessment of the existence of possible circumvention practices was made by analysing successively:
ali se je vzorec trgovanja med LRK in Unijo spremenil;
whether there was a change in pattern of trade between the PRC and the Union;
ali je do te spremembe prišlo zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero ni bilo zadostnega vzroka ali ni bila gospodarsko upravičena, z izjemo uvedbe dajatve;
if this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty;
ali so obstajali dokazi o škodi ali o tem, da so se popravljalni učinki dajatve spodkopavali s cenami in/ali količinami izdelka v preiskavi;
if there was evidence of injury or that the remedial effects of the duty were being undermined in terms of the prices and/or quantities of the product under investigation;
in (4) ali so obstajali dokazi o dampingu v zvezi z normalnimi vrednostmi, predhodno ugotovljenimi za podoben izdelek, če je potrebno v skladu z določbami člena 2 osnovne uredbe.
and (4) whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal values previously established for the like product, if necessary in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the basic Regulation.
Majhna sprememba in bistvene lastnosti
Slight modification and essential characteristics
Preiskava je pokazala, da je izdelek v preiskavi tkanina z odprto mrežno strukturo iz steklenih vlaken z velikostjo celice več kot 1,8 mm po dolžini in širini ter težo več kot 35 g/m2, razen diskov iz steklenih vlaken, s poreklom iz LRK, ki po teži vsebuje več „rovinga“ kot „preje“.
The investigation has shown that the product under investigation is open mesh fabrics of glass fibres, of a cell size of more than 1,8 mm both in length and in width and weighing more than 35 g/m2, excluding fibreglass discs, originating in the PRC, containing by weight more rovings than yarns.
„Roving“ in „preja“ sta sestavljena iz skupka enega ali več sklopov dolgih (nepretrganih) filamentov steklenih vlaken.
Rovings and yarns consist of an assemblage of one or more strands of long (continuous) filaments of glass fibres.
V skladu z opombami harmoniziranega sistema je glavna razlika med „rovingi“ in „prejo“ ta, da sestava „rovingov“ ni zvita ali je malo zvita (manj kot 5 zavojev na meter), medtem ko je sestava „preje“ bolj zvita z več kot 5 zavoji na meter.
According to the notes of the Harmonised System, the main difference between rovings and yarns is that the assemblage of the first is loose with little or no twist (less than five turns per metre) while the assemblage of yarns is more twisted with more than five turns per metre.
Izdelek, ki se uporablja za izogibanje ukrepom, je v bistvu enak kot zadevni izdelek, le da po teži vsebuje več „rovingov“ kot „preje“ in se zato lahko trenutno uvršča pod oznako KN ex70194000, za katero ne veljajo carine, medtem ko zadevni izdelek vsebuje več „preje“ kot „rovinga“ in se trenutno uvršča pod oznaki KN ex70195100 in ex70195900.
The product allegedly circumventing the measures is basically the same as the product concerned except that it contains by weight more rovings than yarns and therefore can currently be declared under CN code ex70194000, not subject to duties, while the product concerned contains by weight more yarns than rovings and currently falls under CN codes ex70195100 and ex70195900.
V številnih primerih razlika med obema izdelkoma ni vidna, pravilno oznako pa se lahko ugotovi le z laboratorijskimi preiskavami.
In many cases the difference between the two products is not visible and the correct code can be established only by laboratory examinations.
Pri preiskavi ni bila ugotovljena nobena razlika v postopku proizvodnje izdelka v preiskavi in zadevnega izdelka, razen v deležu teže med „rovingi“ in „prejo“, ki se uporablja v posameznem izdelku.
The investigation did not find any difference in the production process of the product under investigation and the product concerned, other than the proportion by weight between rovings and yarns that is used in each product.
Poleg tega je sodelujoči proizvajalec pritožnik potrdil, da so stroški proizvodnje izdelka v preiskavi v smislu surovin podobni stroškom zadevnega izdelka, vendar pa proizvodnja izdelka v preiskavi zahteva več časa, saj morajo proizvodnji stroji delovati pri nižji hitrosti.
In addition, the cooperating complaining producer confirmed that the cost of production of the product under investigation in terms of raw material is similar to the cost of the product concerned, but the product under investigation requires more production time because the production machinery has to be operated at lower speed.
To pomeni, da proizvajalci izvozniki od proizvodnje izdelka v preiskavi nimajo nobenih gospodarskih koristi, razen izogibanja veljavnim ukrepom.
This implies that there is no economic benefit for the exporting producers to produce the product under investigation other than the avoidance of the measures in force.
Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da so nekateri uporabniki zadevnega izdelka po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov, uvedenih z Uredbo Komisije (EU) št. 138/2011 [7] dne 17. februarja 2011, začeli uporabljati izdelek v preiskavi, kar pomeni, da se zadevni izdelek in izdelek v preiskavi z vidika uporabnikov ne razlikujeta močno.
Furthermore, it was found that some users of the product concerned switched to the product under investigation after the imposition of the provisional measures imposed on 17 February 2011 by Commission Regulation (EU) No 138/2011 [7], which implies that there is no material difference between the product concerned and the product under investigation for the users.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 15 začasne protidampinške uredbe, sta oba izdelka na voljo v različnih velikostih celice in težah na kvadratni meter, večinoma pa se uporabljata kot ojačitveni material v gradbeništvu (zunanja toplotna izolacija, ojačitev marmorja/tal, popravilo zidov).
As mentioned in recital 15 of the provisional anti-dumping regulation, both products can be found in different cell sizes and weight per square metre and are mostly used as reinforcement material in the construction sector (external thermal insulation, marble/floor reinforcement, wall repair).
Noben kitajski izvoznik ali katera koli druga zainteresirana stran ni izpodbijala teh sklepov.
No Chinese exporters or any of the other interested parties made any submission questioning these conclusions.
Zato je treba skleniti, da se izdelek v preiskavi le nekoliko razlikuje od zadevnega izdelka, pri čemer njegovega uvoza ni mogoče gospodarsko utemeljiti, saj se uvaža le z namenom izogibanja veljavnim protidampinškim dajatvam.
Therefore, it is concluded that the product under investigation is only slightly modified compared to the product concerned and imported for no other economic justification but to circumvent the anti-dumping duties in place.
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja
Change in the pattern of trade
Glede na to, da ni sodeloval noben kitajski izvoznik, so se ugotovitve preiskave sprejele na podlagi podatkov, ki jih vsebuje pritožba, ti pa so bili navzkrižno preverjeni in dopolnjeni s podatki iz Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke o trgovini Comext.
Given that no cooperation was received from Chinese exporters, the findings of the investigation were established on the basis of the information contained in the complaint and cross-checked against and completed by the information contained in the Eurostat Comext trade database.
Zadevni izdelek je uvrščen pod oznaki KN ex70195100 in ex70195900, izdelek v preiskavi pa pod oznako KN ex70194000.
The product concerned is declared under CN codes ex70195100 and ex70195900 and the product under investigation under CN code ex70194000.
Vse te oznake KN so določene široko in zajemajo številne druge izdelke, ki se razlikujejo od zadevnega izdelka ter izdelka v preiskavi.
All these CN codes are broad and cover numerous other products which are different from the product concerned and product under investigation.
Poudariti je treba, da je izdelek v preiskavi uvrščen pod oznako KN ex70194000, ki zajema tudi druge izdelke, imenovane „tkanine, narejene iz rovinga“, ki se uporabljajo zlasti v industriji predelave plastike za izdelavo vrhunskih kompozitnih materialov, ki se uporabljajo v avtomobilski, ladijski in letalski industriji ter proizvodnji rotorjev vetrnih elektrarn.
It should be noted that the product under investigation is declared under the CN code ex70194000 which also covers other products called woven fabrics of rovings used in particular by the plastic converter industry for making high-end composite material used in the automotive, shipping, aircraft and wind blades industry.
Zato ni bilo mogoče neposredno preiskati morebitnih sprememb v vzorcu trgovanja z izdelkom v preiskavi na trgu Unije.
There was thus no direct way to investigate any possible change in the pattern of trade of the product under investigation in the Union market.
Namesto tega je bilo treba uporabiti razpoložljiva dejstva.
Instead, use needed to be made of facts available.
V obdobju 2010–2013 je industrija predelovanja plastike Unije zaradi dolgoročnih negativnih tržnih gibanj utrpela zapiranje obratov in znatno zmanjšanje proizvodne zmogljivosti.
In the period 2010-2013, the Union plastic converter industry suffered from plant closures and significant downsizing of the manufacturing capacity, as a result of negative long-term market trends.
Posledično bi moralo priti do zmanjšanja uvoza izdelkov pod oznako KN ex70194000, vendar je bilo ugotovljeno nasprotno, kakor je prikazano v razpredelnici 1.
As a consequence, a decrease of imports under CN code ex70194000 should have been observed, but the opposite was found, as shown in Table 1.
Uvoz se je zmanjšal samo leta 2011, v letu 2012 in v obdobju poročanja pa se je povečal.
Only in 2011 such imports decreased, followed by import increases in the years 2012 and the RP, This abnormal observation indicated that another reason caused the increase of imports under that code.
To nenavadno gibanje uvoza je kazalo na drug razlog za povečanje uvoza pod navedeno oznako.

Further examining of the trends in the Union market revealed that in 4 Member States (Latvia, the Netherlands, Slovenia and Slovakia) there was a significant increase in imports in CN code 70194000, which could not be explained by these countries' own needs as they do not have any significant converter industry.
Nadaljnja preučitev gibanja na trgu Unije je pokazala, da je v 4 državah članicah (v Latviji, na Nizozemskem, Slovaškem in v Sloveniji) prišlo do znatnega povečanja uvoza pod oznako KN 70194000, česar ni bilo mogoče pojasniti z lastnimi potrebami teh držav, saj nimajo znatne predelovalne industrije.
For the RP, imports under CN code ex70194000 in the four countries represented 32 % of all imports to the Union under that code.
V obdobju poročanja je uvoz pod oznako KN ex70194000 v teh štirih držav predstavljal 32 % vsega uvoza v Unijo pod navedeno oznako.
As shown in Table 2 there were only very few imports under CN code ex70194000 in those four countries before the imposition of the initial duties in 2011 and there was a significant increase of imports in 2012 and the RP, shortly after the anti-dumping measures were imposed.
Kot je prikazano v razpredelnici 2, je bil pred uvedbo prvotnih carin leta 2011 uvoz pod oznako KN ex70194000 v navedene štiri države majhen; do znatnega povečanja uvoza je prišlo v letu 2012 in v obdobju poročanja, kmalu po tem, ko so bili uvedeni protidampinški ukrepi.
The increase in imports shown in the table indicates a change in pattern of trade that occurred following the imposition of measures.
Povečanje uvoza, prikazano v razpredelnici, pomeni spremembo v vzorcu trgovanja, ki se je pojavila po uvedbi ukrepov.

Based on the facts available, it is considered that the overall increase in imports of the product under investigation after the imposition of the anti-dumping measures and the parallel decrease in the imports of the product concerned constitute a significant change in the pattern of trade.
Na podlagi razpoložljivih podatkov se zdi, da splošno povečanje uvoza izdelka v preiskavi po uvedbi protidampinških ukrepov ter istočasno zmanjšanje uvoza zadevnega izdelka predstavljata bistveno spremembo v vzorcu trgovanja.
Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation requires that the change in pattern of trade stems from a practice, process or work for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of duty.
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe mora spremembo vzorca trgovanja povzročiti praksa, postopek ali dejavnost, za katero razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega ustreznega vzroka ali ki ni gospodarsko utemeljena.
Both the product concerned and the product under investigation are mostly used as reinforcement material in the construction sector (external thermal insulation, marble/floor reinforcement, wall repair) and the end-users of both products are the same.
Zadevni izdelek in izdelek v preiskavi se večinoma uporabljata kot ojačitveni material v gradbeništvu (zunanja toplotna izolacija, ojačitev marmorja/tal, popravilo zidov), končni uporabniki obeh izdelkov pa so isti.
The slight modification of the product under investigation does not impart any different substantial characteristic with regard to the product concerned.
Z rahlo spremembo izdelka v preiskavi se ta ne spremeni tako, da bi se bistveno razlikoval od zadevnega izdelka.
Also, there is no price difference between these products in the Union market.
Poleg tega med tema izdelkoma na trgu Unije ni nobene razlike v cenah.
The investigation did not bring to light any other due cause or economic justification for the imports of the product under investigation other than the avoidance of the payment of the duty in force on imports of the product concerned.
S preiskavo ni bil ugotovljen noben drug zadosten vzrok ali gospodarska utemeljitev za uvoz izdelka v preiskavi razen izogibanja plačilu veljavne dajatve pri uvozu zadevnega izdelka.
It is therefore concluded that, in the absence of any other sufficient due cause or economic justification within the meaning of the third sentence of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the change in the pattern of trade between the PRC and the Union was due to the imposition of the measures in force.
Ker ni bilo zadostnih ustreznih vzrokov ali gospodarske utemeljitve v smislu tretjega stavka člena 13(1) osnovne uredbe, se sklene, da je spremembo v vzorcu trgovanja med LRK in Unijo povzročila uvedba veljavnih ukrepov.
To assess whether the imports of the product under investigation, in terms of quantities and prices, undermined the remedial effects to the measures in force, data provided by the complainants were used, and cross-checked against and completed by the information contained in the Eurostat Comext trade database.
Za oceno, ali je uvoz izdelka v preiskavi v smislu količin in cen slabil popravljalne učinke veljavnih ukrepov, so se uporabili podatki, ki so jih predložili pritožniki, ti pa so bili navzkrižno preverjeni in dopolnjeni s podatki iz Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke o trgovini Comext.
The increase in imports of the product under investigation from the PRC as from the imposition of the provisional measures was significant in terms of quantities.
Povečanje uvoza izdelka v preiskavi iz LRK od uvedbe začasnih ukrepov je bilo glede na količine veliko.
In the original investigation the normal value was established on the basis of prices in Canada, which in that investigation was found to be an appropriate market economy analogue country for the PRC.
V prvotni preiskavi je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi cen v Kanadi, za katero je bilo v navedeni preiskavi ugotovljeno, da je ustrezna primerljiva država s tržnim gospodarstvom za LRK.
In line with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation it was considered appropriate to use the normal value as previously established in the original investigation.
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe se je zdelo ustrezno uporabiti normalno vrednost, predhodno določeno v prvotni preiskavi.
In the absence of cooperation by any Chinese producer of the product under investigation, the export prices of the product under investigation were based on facts available, i.e. on the average export price of the product under investigation during the RP as reported in Comext, and reproduced in Table 3.
Zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izdelka v preiskavi so izvozne cene izdelka v preiskavi temeljile na razpoložljivih dejstvih, tj. na povprečni izvozni ceni izdelka v preiskavi v obdobju poročanja po podatkih Comext, kot je prikazano v razpredelnici 3.
In the original investigation, Canada was used as analogue country.
V prvotni preiskavi je bila Kanada uporabljena kot primerljiva država.
The normal value that was used for the dumping calculations of the product concerned is ranging between 0,168 EUR/m2 and 0,257 EUR/m2.
Normalna vrednost, ki je bila uporabljena za izračun dampinga zadevnega izdelka, znaša od 0,168 EUR/m2 do 0,257 EUR/m2.
The average normal value in the original investigation was 0,193 EUR/m2.
Povprečna normalna vrednost v prvotni preiskavi je znašala 0,193 EUR/m2.
