On 27 April 2013, the European Commission (‘the Commission’) announced the initiation of an anti-subsidy proceeding with regard to imports into the European Union of solar glass originating in the People’s Republic of China (‘PRC’ or ‘China’) by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union (the Notice of Initiation) [2].
Evropska komisija („Komisija“) je 27. aprila 2013 z obvestilom, objavljenim v Uradnem listu Evropske unije („obvestilo o začetku“) [2], napovedala začetek protisubvencijskega postopka glede uvoza solarnega stekla s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske („LRK“ ali „Kitajska“) v Evropsko unijo.
The proceeding was initiated by the Commission following a complaint lodged on 14 March 2013 by EU ProSun Glass (the complainant) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of solar glass.
Postopek se je začel na podlagi pritožbe, ki jo je 14. marca 2013 vložil EU ProSun Glass („pritožnik“) v imenu proizvajalcev, ki predstavljajo več kot 25 % celotne proizvodnje solarnega stekla v Uniji.
The complaint contained prima facie evidence of subsidisation of solar glass and of material injury caused by it, which the Commission considered sufficient to justify the initiation of an investigation.
Pritožba je vsebovala dokaze prima facie o subvencioniranju solarnega stekla in o znatni škodi, ki je zaradi tega nastala, za kar je Komisija menila, da zadostuje za utemeljitev začetka preiskave.
In accordance with Article 10(7) of Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 (the basic Regulation), the Commission notified the Government of the People’s Republic of China (‘GOC’) prior to the initiation of the proceeding that it had received a properly documented complaint alleging that subsidised imports of solar glass originating in the PRC were causing material injury to the Union industry.
Pred začetkom postopka in v skladu s členom 10(7) Uredbe (ES) št. 597/2009 („osnovna uredba“) je Komisija vlado Ljudske republike Kitajske („kitajska vlada“) obvestila, da je prejela pravilno dokumentirano pritožbo o domnevnem subvencioniranem uvozu solarnega stekla s poreklom iz LRK, ki povzroča materialno škodo industriji Unije.
The Commission invited the GOC for consultations with the aim of clarifying the situation as regards the contents of the complaint and arriving at a mutually agreed solution.
Komisija je kitajsko vlado povabila na posvetovanja, da se razjasni položaj glede vsebine pritožbe in da se doseže sporazumna rešitev.
However, the Commission took due note of comments made by the GOC regarding the schemes listed in the complaint.
Vendar je Komisija ustrezno upoštevala pripombe kitajske vlade v zvezi s shemami, navedenimi v pritožbi.
Following the consultations, submissions were received from the GOC.
Po posvetovanjih je kitajska vlada predstavila svoja stališča.
On 28 February 2013 the Commission announced the initiation of an anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports into the Union of solar glass originating in the PRC by a notice published in the Official Journal of the European Union [3].
Komisija je 28. februarja 2013 z obvestilom, objavljenim v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [3], napovedala začetek protidampinškega postopka glede uvoza solarnega stekla s poreklom iz LRK v Unijo.
On 27 November 2013 the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of solar glass originating in the PRC by Commission Regulation (EU) No 1205/2013 [4].
Komisija je 27. novembra 2013 z Uredbo Komisije (EU) št. 1205/2013 [4] uvedla začasno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz solarnega stekla s poreklom iz LRK.
The injury analyses performed in the present anti-subsidy and the parallel anti-dumping investigation are based on the same definition of the Union industry, the same representative Union producers and the same investigation period and led to identical conclusions unless otherwise specified.
Analizi škode, izvedeni v tej protisubvencijski in vzporedni protidampinški preiskavi, temeljita na isti opredelitvi industrije Unije, reprezentativnih proizvajalcev Unije in obdobja preiskave ter sta privedli do enakih sklepov, če ni določeno drugače.
For this reason, comments on injury aspects put forward in any one of these proceedings were taken into account in both proceedings.
Zato so bile pripombe glede vidikov škode, predložene v katerem koli od teh dveh postopkov, upoštevane v obeh postopkih.
The Commission officially informed the complainants, the other known Union producers, the known exporting producers in the PRC, the known importers, suppliers, distributors, users and associations known to be concerned, and the authorities of the PRC of the initiation of the investigation.
Komisija je pritožnike, druge znane proizvajalce Unije, znane proizvajalce izvoznike v LRK, znane uvoznike, dobavitelje, distributerje, uporabnike in združenja, za katera je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter organe LRK uradno obvestila o začetku preiskave.
The Notice of Initiation invited all parties concerned by the investigation to contact the Commission and make themselves known.
V obvestilu o začetku so bile vse zadevne strani pozvane, naj stopijo v stik s Komisijo in se javijo.
The complainants, exporting producers in the PRC, importers and the PRC authorities made their views known.
Pritožniki, proizvajalci izvozniki v LRK, uvozniki in organi LRK so predstavili svoja stališča.
The Commission announced in the Notice of Initiation that it might limit to a reasonable number the exporting producers in the PRC, the unrelated importers and Union producers that would be investigated by selecting a sample in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je v obvestilu o začetku napovedala, da bo v skladu s členom 27 osnovne uredbe morda smiselno omejila število proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK, nepovezanih uvoznikov in proizvajalcev Unije, ki jih bo preiskala, z izbiro vzorca.
The Commission selected a sample of five companies out of the eight producers which came forward on the basis of the largest representative sales volume of the like product during the investigation period (IP).
Komisija je na podlagi največjega reprezentativnega obsega prodaje podobnega izdelka v obdobju preiskave („OP“) med osmimi proizvajalci, ki so se javili, izbrala vzorec petih družb.
Following the verification visits, the Commission decided to remove one of the five sampled companies, as that company was found not to be representative of the Union industry, because it was the only one of the eight producers which came forward that was in a start-up phase.
Po preveritvenih obiskih se je Komisija odločila, da odstrani eno od petih vzorčenih družb, saj je bilo ugotovljeno, da ni reprezentativna za industrijo Unije, ker je bila izmed osmih proizvajalcev, ki so se javili, edina v zagonski fazi.
Therefore, the Commission saw the risk that in the case of its inclusion, the injury indicators, in particular profitability, may not have given a fair representation of the state of the Union industry.
Zato je Komisija menila, da v primeru njene vključitve obstaja tveganje, da kazalniki škode, zlasti dobičkonosnosti, ne bi izražali dejanskega stanja industrije Unije.
Consequently, the final sample consisted of four Union producers.
Zato je bil končni vzorec sestavljen iz štirih proizvajalcev Unije.
Their production accounted for 79 % of the sales of the Union industry on the Union market during the IP.
Njihova proizvodnja je predstavljala 79 % prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije v OP.
The sample was thus considered to be representative of the Union industry.
Zato se je vzorec štel za reprezentativnega za industrijo Unije.
Three Union producers requested, on the basis of Article 29 of the basic Regulation, that their identities remained confidential.
Trije proizvajalci Unije so na podlagi člena 29 osnovne uredbe zahtevali, da njihova identiteta ostane zaupna.
The Commission examined the reasons put forward and accepted their request.
Komisija je proučila predložene razloge in sprejela njihovo zahtevo.
Given the limited number of producers in the Union, no other names were disclosed in the general disclosure document, as this would allow identification of the companies requesting anonymity.
Glede na omejeno število proizvajalcev Unije tudi druga imena proizvajalcev Unije niso bila razkrita v dokumentu o splošnem razkritju, saj bi to lahko omogočilo identifikacijo družb, ki so zahtevale anonimnost.
The identity of the company Interfloat Corporation/GMB Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg GmbH (GMB/IF) was, however, already known publicly as it declared that it is one of the companies that support the complaint.
Identiteta družbe Interfloat Corporation/GMB Glasmanufaktur Brandenburg GmbH („GMB/IF“) pa je bila že javno znana, saj je družba izjavila, da je ena od tistih, ki pritožbo podpira.
The company was therefore named in the general disclosure document.
Zato je bila družba imenovana v dokumentu o splošnem razkritju.
Also, in the non-confidential version of their comments on disclosure the complainant named three Union producers that had gone out of business (Guardian, AGC and Centrosolar Glass), and a fourth company that had significantly reduced production (Saint Gobain).
Prav tako je pritožnik v nezaupni različici pripomb na razkritje imenoval tri proizvajalce Unije, ki so prenehali s poslovanjem (Guardian, AGC in Centrosolar Glass), in četrto družbo, ki je znatno zmanjšala proizvodnjo (Saint Gobain).
The Notice of Initiation requested all exporting producers in the PRC to make themselves known to the Commission and to provide the information specified in the Notice of Initiation within a given time period.
V obvestilu o začetku se je od vseh proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK zahtevalo, naj se v določenem času javijo Komisiji in predložijo informacije, določene v obvestilu o začetku.
Nine exporting producers or groups of exporting producers provided the requested information and agreed to be included in the sample.
Devet proizvajalcev izvoznikov ali skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov je predložilo zahtevane informacije in se strinjalo z vključitvijo v vzorec.
The cooperating companies covered almost 100 % of the reported exports of solar glass to the Union during 2012.
Sodelujoče družbe so predstavljale skoraj 100 % prijavljenega izvoza solarnega stekla v Unijo v letu 2012.
In accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected a sample of four exporting producers or groups of exporting producers based on the largest representative volume of exports of the product concerned that could reasonably be investigated within the time available.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 27 osnovne uredbe izbrala vzorec štirih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ali skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov na podlagi največjega reprezentativnega obsega izvoza zadevnega izdelka, ki ga je bilo mogoče v razpoložljivem času dovolj dobro preiskati.
The selected sample accounted for 76 % of the total volume of exports to the Union of the product concerned in the investigation period.
Izbrani vzorec je predstavljal več kot 76 % celotnega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo v obdobju preiskave.
In accordance with Article 27(2) of the basic Regulation the Commission informed all interested parties of the sample selected and they were invited to comment.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 27(2) osnovne uredbe obvestila vse zainteresirane strani o končnem izbranem vzorcu in jih pozvala k predložitvi pripomb.
No exporting producer in the PRC requested individual examination under Article 27(3) of the basic Regulation.
Noben od proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK ni zahteval individualne preiskave na podlagi člena 27(3) osnovne uredbe.
Sampling of unrelated importers and users
Vzorčenje nepovezanih uvoznikov in uporabnikov
Four unrelated importers replied to the sampling form attached to the Notice of Initiation, while two importers and twelve users replied to the questionnaire.
Štirje nepovezani uvozniki so izpolnili obrazec za vzorčenje, ki je bil priložen obvestilu o začetku, dva uvoznika in dvanajst uporabnikov pa je predložilo izpolnjen vprašalnik.
In view of the low number of cooperating importers sampling was not necessary.
Glede na majhno število sodelujočih uvoznikov vzorčenje ni bilo potrebno.
Questionnaires were sent to the GOC and to the sampled exporting producers, to the sampled Union producers, to all importers that had come forward, and to all users that had come forward.
Vprašalniki so bili poslani kitajski vladi, vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, vzorčenim proizvajalcem Unije ter vsem uvoznikom in uporabnikom, ki so se javili.
The GOC were also sent an Appendix to the questionnaire sent to them and were requested to forward it to state-owned commercial banks (‘SOCBs’) in the PRC that had lent funds to the sampled companies during the investigation period.
Kitajski vladi je bil poleg vprašalnika poslan tudi dodatek, ki ga je morala posredovati državnim komercialnim bankam v LRK, ki so vzorčenim družbam v obdobju preiskave posodila sredstva.
The GOC stated that they had forwarded the Appendix to the banks concerned but had not received any replies.
Kitajska vlada je izjavila, da je dodatek posredovala zadevnim bankam, vendar ni dobila nobenih odgovorov.
Replies to the questionnaire were received from the four sampled Chinese exporting producers, from all sampled Union producers, two unrelated Union importers and 12 users.
Izpolnjene vprašalnike so poslali štirje vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, vsi vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije, dva nepovezana uvoznika Unije in 12 uporabnikov.
The Commission sought and verified all the information provided by interested parties and deemed necessary for a definitive determination of subsidisation, resulting injury and Union interest.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so jih predložile zainteresirane strani in ki so se ji zdele potrebne za dokončno ugotovitev subvencioniranja, nastale škode in interesa Unije.

All interested parties were sent a disclosure document which contained the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which the Commission proposed to impose countervailing duties on solar glass originating in the People’s Republic of China.
Vsem zainteresiranim stranem je bil poslan dokument o razkritju, ki je vseboval bistvena dejstva in premisleke, na podlagi katerih je Komisija predlagala uvedbo izravnalnih dajatev na solarno steklo s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske.
All parties were informed of the deadline within which they could comment on the disclosure.
Vse zainteresirane strani so bile seznanjene z rokom, v katerem lahko predložijo pripombe na razkritje.
The comments submitted by interested parties were considered and taken into account where appropriate.
Pripombe, ki so jih predložile zainteresirane strani, so bile obravnavane in po potrebi upoštevane.
The Government of China (‘GOC’) alleged that this disclosure document did not meet the standards set out in Articles 22.3 and 22.5 of the ASCM as it did not set out in sufficient detail the findings and conclusions of the investigating authority.
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da ta dokument o razkritju ni izpolnil standardov iz členov 22.3 in 22.5 Sporazuma o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih („SIU“), saj ni dovolj podrobno opredelil ugotovitev in sklepov preiskovalnega organa.
However, the GOC provided no specific example of this alleged failure.
Vendar kitajska vlada ni predložila nobenega konkretnega primera te domnevne pomanjkljivosti.
Having reviewed the document carefully the Commission considers that the document contains sufficient information for the GOC to exercise its rights of defence.
Komisija je po natančnem pregledu dokumenta ugotovila, da dokument vsebuje zadostne informacije, da lahko kitajska vlada uveljavlja pravico do obrambe.
Certain information could not be provided in the disclosure as it was business-confidential information, and this was disclosed only to the sampled exporting producers concerned.
Nekaterih informacij ni bilo mogoče navesti v dokumentu o razkritju, saj so bile poslovno zaupne in so bile razkrite le zadevnim vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom.
The sampled exporting producers were sent a confidential specific disclosure giving calculations and information on each scheme and benefit countervailed, and were given 25 days to comment.
Vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom je bil poslan poseben zaupen dokument o razkritju z navedbo izračunov in informacij o posamezni izravnani shemi in ugodnosti ter zagotovljen 25-dnevni rok za predložitev pripomb.
The investigation of subsidisation and injury covered the period from 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2012 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Preiskava subvencioniranja in škode je zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2012 do 31. decembra 2012 („obdobje preiskave“ ali „OP“).
The product under investigation is solar glass consisting of tempered soda-lime-flat-glass, with an iron content of less than 300 ppm, a solar transmittance of more than 88 % (measured according to AM1,5 300-2500 nm), a resistance to heat up to 250 °C (measured according to EN 12150), a resistance to thermal shocks of Δ 150 K (measured according to EN 12150) and having a mechanical strength of 90 N/mm2 or more (measured according to EN 1288-3) (‘the product concerned’, commonly referred to as ‘solar glass’).
Izdelek v tej preiskavi je solarno steklo iz kaljenega natrij-kalcijevega ravnega stekla z vsebnostjo železa manjšo od 300 ppm, z več kot 88-odstotno prepustnostjo sončne energije (merjeno v skladu z AM 1,5 300–2500 nm), toplotno odpornostjo do 250 °C (merjeno v skladu z EN 12150), odpornostjo proti temperaturnim spremembam Δ 150 K (merjeno v skladu z EN 12150) in mehansko trdnostjo 90 N/mm2 ali več (merjeno v skladu z EN 1288-3) („zadevni izdelek“, ki se običajno imenuje „solarno steklo“).
The investigation has shown that the product concerned, the product produced and sold on the domestic market of the PRC, and the product produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry have similar basic physical, chemical, technical characteristics and uses.
Preiskava je pokazala, da imajo zadevni izdelek, izdelek, ki se proizvaja in prodaja na domačem trgu LRK, ter izdelek, ki ga v Uniji proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije, enake osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti ter uporabe.
Product scope
Obseg izdelka
An unrelated importer requested exclusion of horticultural glass for the construction of greenhouses from the scope of the investigation, arguing that such construction requires many different sizes of glass sheets whereas solar glass is produced in only certain fixed sizes.
Nepovezani uvoznik je zahteval izključitev vrtnarskega stekla za gradnjo rastlinjakov iz preiskave, pri čemer je trdil, da je za tako gradnjo potrebno steklo zelo različnih dimenzij, medtem ko se solarno steklo proizvaja le v določenih dimenzijah.
The importer also provided a certificate showing that part of its imports were of glass with iron content higher than 300 ppm.
Uvoznik je predložil tudi potrdilo, ki kaže, da je del njegovega uvoza zajemalo steklo z vsebnostjo železa večjo od 300 ppm.
As a result, those imports are outside the product scope.
Zato je tak uvoz izključen iz obsega izdelka.
With regard to the remaining part of its imports, the Commission considers that, despite the difference in size, those glass sheets may also be used as solar glass.
Komisija glede preostalega dela njegovega uvoza meni, da se kljub razliki v dimenzijah tako steklo lahko uporabi tudi kot solarno steklo.
For instance, in order to circumvent the duty, importers could order larger glass sheets than they need and then cut that glass only in the Union.
Uvozniki bi na primer lahko naročili steklo večjih dimenzij, kot ga potrebujejo, in ga nato razrezali šele v Uniji, da bi se izognili dajatvam.
Therefore, horticultural glass with iron content lower than 300 ppm is part of the product concerned.
Zato vrtnarsko steklo z vsebnostjo železa, manjšo od 300 ppm, sodi k zadevnemu izdelku.
Another unrelated importer argued that the furniture glass it imports (which is used for glass shelves, panel fillings, table tops, sliding door panels, top panels products, etc.) has the same or very similar technical characteristics as solar glass but requested its exclusion from the scope of the investigation as it has a different end use.
Drug nepovezani uvoznik je trdil, da ima pohištveno steklo, ki ga uvaža (ki se uporablja za steklene police, panelna polnila, plošče za mize, panele za drsna vrata, zgornje panelne izdelke itd.), enake ali zelo podobne tehnične značilnosti kot solarno steklo, vendar je zahteval njegovo izključitev iz preiskave, ker ima drugačno končno uporabo.
However, on the basis of the evidence provided, it seems that most of the glass imported by that unrelated importer does not share all the technical characteristics of solar glass as described above.
Vendar predloženi dokazi kažejo, da večina stekla, ki ga uvaža ta nepovezani uvoznik, nima vseh zgoraj opisanih tehničnih značilnosti solarnega stekla.
In particular, six types of the imported glass have iron content much higher than 300 ppm, while one type of the imported glass has iron content lower than 300 ppm but their solar transmittance is significantly lower than the minimum 88 % required to be defined as solar glass.
Zlasti je treba poudariti, da ima šest vrst uvoženega stekla vsebnost železa veliko večjo od 300 ppm, pri čemer ima ena vrsta uvoženega stekla vsebnost železa manjšo od 300 ppm, vendar je njihova prepustnost sončne energije bistveno manjša od 88 %, ki je minimalni pogoj za opredelitev kot solarno steklo.
The importer argued that even though those types of glass do not fulfil one of the technical characteristics of solar glass as described above, they comply with the primary classification for solar glass, i.e. ‘tempered soda-lime-flat-glass’.
Uvoznik je trdil, da te vrste stekla sicer ne izpolnjujejo ene od zgoraj opisanih tehničnih značilnosti solarnega stekla, vendar ustrezajo glavni razvrstitvi solarnega stekla, tj. „kaljeno natrij-kalcijevo ravno steklo“.
However, the Commission considers that only those types of glass which fulfil all the technical characteristics of solar glass fall within the scope of the investigation.
Vendar Komisija meni, da v preiskavo sodijo le tiste vrste stekla, ki izpolnjujejo vse tehnične značilnosti solarnega stekla.
Consequently, all types of glass mentioned above and imported by this particular importer fall outside the scope of the investigation.
Zato vse zgoraj navedene vrste stekla, ki jih uvaža ta uvoznik, ne sodijo v preiskavo.
For reasons of legal certainty, it should be made clear that any type of horticultural and furniture glass which fulfils the technical characteristics set out in recital 32 remains within the scope of the product concerned as they can be used as solar glass.
Zaradi pravne varnosti bi bilo treba pojasniti, da vse vrste vrtnarskega in pohištvenega stekla, ki izpolnjujejo tehnične značilnosti, navedene v uvodni izjavi 32, sodijo v obseg zadevnega izdelka, saj jih je mogoče uporabljati kot solarno steklo.
After disclosure, the same importer argued that since solar glass that can also be used as furniture glass was not excluded from the scope, this results in administrative burden and delays for companies.
Po razkritju je isti uvoznik trdil, da solarno steklo, ki se lahko uporablja tudi za pohištveno steklo, ni bilo izključeno iz preiskave, zato to povzroča upravno breme in zamude za družbe.
