natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
In particular, it was decided that the individual examination in this particular case would not be unduly burdensome and would not prevent completion of the investigation in good time.
Prejela je tudi izpolnjene vprašalnike indijske vlade (ministrstvo za trgovino in industrijo), štirih vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz Indije in indijskega proizvajalca izvoznika, ki je zahteval individualno preiskavo.
Replies to the questionnaire
Iz Vietnama je prejela izpolnjene vprašalnike vietnamske vlade (vietnamskega organa, pristojnega za konkurenco, ministrstva za industrijo in trgovino ter različnih bank).
The Commission sent questionnaires to the representatives of China (including specific questionnaires for banks and producers of PTA and MEG), the representatives of India (including specific questionnaires for banks) and the representatives of Vietnam (including specific questionnaires for banks and producers of PTA and MEG).
En proizvajalec izvoznik, ki je predstavljal zelo majhen obseg izvoza v Unijo, je prekinil sodelovanje in ni izpolnil vprašalnika.
The Commission further sent questionnaires to five sampled exporting producers in China, five exporting producers (four sampled and one non-sampled) in India, four exporting producers in Vietnam, four Union producers, five unrelated importers and 105 users.
Ostali trije proizvajalci izvozniki (dva sta bila del iste skupine) iz Vietnama so poslali izpolnjene vprašalnike.
As concerns China, questionnaire replies were received from the GOC (Ministry of Commerce) and the five sampled exporting producers/groups of exporting producers in China.
Izpolnjene vprašalnike so predložili tudi štirje proizvajalci Unije, štirje nepovezani uvozniki in dvanajst uporabnikov.
As concerns India, questionnaire replies were received from the GOI (Ministry of Commerce & Industry), the four sampled exporting producers in India and the Indian exporting producer which requested individual examination.
Pritožnik je po razkritju pripomnil, da število vprašalnikov, poslanih vzorčenim proizvajalcem Unije, očitno ni sorazmerno s številom vprašalnikov, poslanih uvoznikom in uporabnikom.
As concerns Vietnam, replies were received from the GOV (the Vietnam Competition Authority, the Ministry of Industry and Trade and various banks).
Število vprašalnikov, poslanih eni skupini gospodarskih subjektov (proizvajalci Unije, proizvajalci izvozniki, uvozniki ali uporabniki), ne kaže, kakšen pomen Komisija pripisuje njihovemu zadevnemu položaju.
One exporting producer, which accounted for a very low volume of exports to the Union, withdrew its cooperation and did not reply to the questionnaire.
Edini cilj je pridobiti ustrezno stopnjo in količino informacij, da se omogoči najboljša mogoča analiza subvencioniranja, škode in interesa Unije.
Questionnaire replies were received from the remaining three exporting producers (two of them belonging to the same group) in Vietnam.
V tem primeru so bili vprašalniki poslani štirim vzorčenim proizvajalcem Unije, petim vzorčenim kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, petim indijskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, štirim vietnamskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, petim uvoznikom, vsem znanim uporabnikom in tistim uporabnikom, ki so se javili.
Furthermore, four Union producers, four unrelated importers and twelve users submitted questionnaire replies.
V členu 27 osnovne uredbe ni določeno, da je treba predvideti vzorčenje uporabnikov.
Following disclosure, the complainant commented that there seemed to be a lack of proportionality regarding the number of questionnaires sent to the sampled Union producers on the one hand and to the importers and users on the other hand.
Sicer pa so izkušnje iz dosedanjih preiskav o trgovinski zaščiti pokazale, da se v nekaterih primerih na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij lahko vzpostavi v stik z veliko uporabniki, izpolnjen vprašalnik pa jih običajno predloži le malo.
First and foremost, the number of questionnaires sent to one group of economic actors (Union producers, exporting producers, importers or users) is not indicative for the weight the Commission attributes to their respective situation.
Komisija si je zato tudi v tem primeru dejavno prizadevala za sodelovanje največjega možnega števila uporabnikov.
The only objective is to obtain the right level and amount of information to make the best possible analysis of subsidy, injury and Union interest.
Preveritveni obiski
In this case, questionnaires were sent to the four sampled Union producers, the five sampled Chinese exporting producers, five Indian exporting producers, four Vietnamese exporting producers, five importers and all known users and those users who had made themselves known.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za ugotavljanje obstoja subvencioniranja, nastale škode in interesa Unije.
Indeed, Article 27 of the basic Regulation does not provide for sampling of users.
Preveritveni obiski v skladu s členom 26 osnovne uredbe so bili opravljeni pri naslednjih državnih organih, finančnih institucijah in družbah:
Moreover, experience from trade defence investigations so far shows that although in certain cases, based on the available information, a large number of users may be contacted, usually only a limited number of them are willing to provide a questionnaire reply.

Therefore, the Commission, also in this case, actively sought the cooperation of a maximum number of users.

Pritožnik je po razkritju trdil, da je večina kitajskih proizvajalcev regionalno koncentriranih v jugovzhodnih provincah Jiangsu in Zhejiang, v teh provincah pa ni bil opravljen noben od petih preveritvenih obiskov.

Pritožnik je trdil tudi, da dva velika kitajska proizvajalca glede na proizvodno zmogljivost nista bila vključena v vzorec.
Thai Binh Polyester Staple Fibre Joint Stock Company, Thai Thuy Town, Thai Binh Province and Hop Than Co.
V zvezi s tem je treba spomniti, da je Komisija, kot je bilo pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 16 in 18, izbrala vzorec na podlagi obsega uvoza v Unijo in pet največjih izvoznikov/skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov v Unijo v skladu s členom 27 osnovne uredbe.
Ltd, Thai Binh City, Thai Binh Province (jointly referred to as ‘Thai Binh Group’).
Dejstvo, da so na Kitajskem tudi drugi veliki proizvajalci rezanih poliestrskih vlaken, samo po sebi ne vzbuja pomislekov o reprezentativnosti vzorca.
Following disclosure, the complainant argued that most of the Chinese producers are regionally concentrated in the south eastern coastal provinces of Jiangsu and Zhejiang and none of the five verification visits took place in either of these two provinces.
Pritožnik je podoben premislek navedel tudi za Vietnam, saj je trdil, da dva velika vietnamska proizvajalca rezanih poliestrskih vlaken nista bila vključena v obseg preiskave.
In this regard, it is noted that Jiangsu Xinsu Chemical Fibre Co. and Jiangsu Huaxicun Co. are located in Jiangsu province, while Zhejiang Anshun Pettechs Fibre is located in Zhejiang province.
Kot je Komisija pojasnila v uvodnih izjavah 32–34, je preiskava zajela vse vietnamske proizvajalce, ki so rezana poliestrska vlakna izvažali v Unijo, izpolnjeni vprašalniki pa so bili prejeti od treh proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki so predstavljali skoraj ves izvoz rezanih poliestrskih vlaken v Unijo.
Therefore, the claim was rejected.
Dejstvo, da so v Vietnamu morda tudi drugi veliki proizvajalci rezanih poliestrskih vlaken, ki zadevnega izdelka ne izvažajo v Unijo, za reprezentativnost sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni pomembno.
In addition, the complainant argued that two large Chinese producers, in terms of production capacity, were not included in the sample.
OBDOBJE PREISKAVE IN OBRAVNAVANO OBDOBJE
In this regard, it is recalled that as explained in recitals 16 and 18 above, the Commission selected the sample based on the volume of exports to the Union and chose the largest five exporters/groups of exporting producers to the Union in accordance with Article 27 of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava subvencioniranja in škode je zajela obdobje od 1. oktobra 2012 do 30. septembra 2013 („obdobje preiskave“).
The mere fact that there are other large producers of PSF in China does not as such question the representativeness of the sample.
Preiskava gibanj, pomembnih za oceno škode, je obsegala obdobje od 1. januarja 2010 do konca obdobja preiskave („obravnavano obdobje“).
The complainant raised a similar claim for Vietnam, arguing that two major Vietnamese PSF producers were not included in the scope of the investigation.
Pritožnik je po razkritju navedel pripombe glede trajanja obdobja preiskave, ki je bilo po njegovem mnenju kratko in je zato „škodljivo vplivalo“ na ugotovitve Komisije.
As the Commission explained in recitals 32-34 above, the investigation covered the totality of Vietnamese producers exporting PSF to the Union, and replies were received from three exporting producers representing almost the totality of PSF exports to the Union.
Po trditvah pritožnika se pri dvanajstmesečnem obdobju ni upoštevalo dejstvo, da je škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, domnevno trajala več let.
The fact that there may exist other major PSF producers in Vietnam that do not export the product concerned to the Union does not bear relevance for the representativeness of the cooperating exporting producers.
Pritožnik je menil tudi, da subvencije, navedene v pritožbi, v dvanajstmesečnem obdobju preiskave ni bilo mogoče ustrezno preučiti.
INVESTIGATION PERIOD AND PERIOD CONSIDERED
Glede analize škode je treba poudariti, da je Komisija preučila obdobje 2010–2012 in obdobje preiskave, ne le dvanajstmesečnega obdobja preiskave, kot trdi pritožnik.
The investigation of subsidisation and injury covered the period from 1 October 2012 to 30 September 2013 (‘the investigation period’).
Komisija se je glede ugotavljanja obstoja subvencioniranja v okviru svoje diskrecijske pravice in v skladu s členoma 5 in 11 osnovne uredbe odločila za dvanajstmesečno obdobje preiskave.
The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2010 to the end of the investigation period (‘the period considered’).
Do razkritja niti pritožnik niti katera druga zainteresirana stran ni izrazila pripomb glede trajanja obdobja preiskave, ki je bilo navedeno v obvestilu o začetku in vprašalnikih.
Following disclosure, the complainant commented on the duration of the investigation period, which it considered to be short and therefore to have ‘detrimentally affected’ the findings of the Commission.
Komisija meni, da dvanajstmesečno obdobje preiskave zadošča za zagotavljanje reprezentativnih ugotovitev, potrebnih za preiskavo.
The complainant stated that the duration of 12 months ignored that the injury suffered by the Union industry had allegedly been on-going for a period of several years.
Ta trditev se zato zavrne.
The complainant was also of the opinion that the subsidies listed in the complaint could not have been adequately analysed using an investigation period of 12 months.
RAZKRITJE
As regards the injury analysis, it needs to be underlined that the Commission assessed the years 2010, 2011, 2012 and the investigation period and not, as the complainant states, only the 12 months of the investigation period.
Komisija je 2. oktobra 2014 vsem zainteresiranim stranem razkrila poglavitna dejstva in premisleke, na podlagi katerih je nameravala zaključiti postopek, in vse zainteresirane strani pozvala, naj predložijo pripombe.
Regarding the determination of subsidisation, the Commission chose, within its margin of discretion and in line with Articles 5 and 11 of the basic Regulation, an investigation period of 12 months.
Pripombe je prejela od združenja uporabnikov, pritožnika, enega kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika in njegovih podružnic, štirih indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, kitajske vlade in vietnamske vlade.
Until disclosure neither the complainant nor any other interested party commented on the duration of the investigation period which was stipulated in the Notice of Initiation and the questionnaires.
Komisija je prejete pripombe preučila in jih po potrebi upoštevala.
The Commission considers that an investigation period of 12 months is appropriate to ensure representative findings for the for the purpose of the investigation.
Pripombe, prejete od združenja uporabnikov, so se nanašale na vprašanje interesa Unije, ki ni bilo ocenjeno, saj ni nobenega razloga za uvedbo ukrepov.
Therefore, this claim is rejected.
ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
DISCLOSURE
ZADEVNI IZDELEK
On 2 October 2014, the Commission disclosed to all interested parties the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to terminate the proceeding and invited all interested parties to comment.
Zadevni izdelek so sintetična rezana vlakna iz poliestra, nemikana, nečesana ali drugače pripravljena za predenje, s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, Indije in Vietnama („zadevni izdelek“), trenutno uvrščena pod oznako KN 55032000.
Comments were received from a user association, the complainant, one Chinese exporting producer and its affiliates, four Indian exporting producers, the GOC and the GOV.
Zadevni izdelek se lahko proizvaja z uporabo PTA (prečiščene tereftalne kisline) in MEG (monoetilen glikola) ali granulatov iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET, iz katerih se proizvajajo reciklirana rezana poliestrska vlakna.
The comments made were considered by the Commission and taken into account, where appropriate.
Izdelek se uporablja za raznovrstne namene, na primer v industriji oblačil in pri notranji opremi, pa tudi v avtomobilski industriji, industriji higienskih in medicinskih izdelkov ter gradbeništvu.
The comments received from the user association addressed the issue of Union interest, which was not assessed as there are no grounds for the imposition of measures.
PODOBNI IZDELEK
PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Preiskava je pokazala, da imajo naslednji izdelki enake osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti ter enake osnovne uporabe:
PRODUCT CONCERNED
zadevni izdelek,
The product concerned is synthetic staple fibres of polyesters, not carded, combed or otherwise processed for spinning originating in the People's Republic of China, India and Vietnam, currently falling within CN code 55032000 (‘the product concerned’).
izdelek, ki se proizvaja in prodaja na domačem trgu zadevnih držav, ter
The product concerned can normally be produced either by using PTA (Purified Terephthalic Acid) and MEG (Mono Ethylene Glycol) or by using recycled PET bottle flakes to produce recycled PSF.
izdelek, ki ga proizvaja industrija Unije in se prodaja v Uniji.
The product is used in a wide range of applications, for example in clothing, apparel and home furnishings but in the automotive industry, the hygiene and medical industries as well as the construction industry.
Komisija se je odločila, da so navedeni izdelki zato podobni izdelki v smislu člena 2(c) osnovne uredbe.
LIKE PRODUCT
TRDITVE GLEDE OBSEGA IZDELKA
The investigation showed that the following products have the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics as well as the same basic uses:
Rezana poliestrska vlakna iz PTA/MEG in rezana poliestrska vlakna iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET
the product concerned,
Vladni organi dveh držav in združenje, ki je zastopalo proizvajalce izvoznike ene izmed zadevnih držav, so trdili, da bi bilo treba rezana poliestrska vlakna, izdelana iz PTA/MEG, in rezana poliestrska vlakna, izdelana iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET, obravnavati kot dva različna izdelka.
the product produced and sold on the domestic market of the countries concerned, and
Trdili so, da so med rezanimi poliestrskimi vlakni iz PTA in MEG ter rezanimi poliestrskimi vlakni iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET precejšnje razlike v kakovosti, ki vplivajo na uporabo.
the product produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry.
Rezana poliestrska vlakna iz PTA/MEG in rezana poliestrska vlakna iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET sta dejansko dve vrsti rezanih poliestrskih vlaken v obsegu zadevnega izdelka, tj. rezanih poliestrskih vlaken.
PSF made from PTA/MEG and PSF made from recycled PET bottles
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
Two government authorities and an association representing exporting producers of one of the countries concerned claimed that PSF made from PTA/MEG and PSF made from recycled PET bottles should be treated as two different products.
En proizvajalec izvoznik je v svoji navedbi ponovil, da se reciklirane plastenke iz PET v nasprotju z granulati iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET uporabljajo v drugačnem proizvodnem postopku in so drugačna surovina.
The claim was based on the difference in main raw materials used as for certain types of PSF, PTA/MEG are used, while for certain other types, flakes made from recycled PET bottles are used instead.
Ista stran je navedla tudi, da so stroški in prodajna cena ter kakovost rezanih poliestrskih vlaken iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET precej nižji od cen in kakovosti „običajnih rezanih poliestrskih vlaken“.
Related to this, cost and sales prices were mentioned as important differences.
Komisija trdi, da je surovina, tj. reciklirane plastenke iz PET ali granulati iz recikliranih plastenk iz PET, v bistvu enaka.
It was also claimed that there are substantial quality differences between PSF made from PTA and MEG and PSF made from recycled PET bottles, impacting the use and application.
V primerjavi z granulati PET so dodatni koraki, ki so potrebni pri uporabi plastenk iz PET, sortiranje in pranje plastenk iz PET, sledi pa jima drobljenje plastenk v granulat.
PSF made from PTA/MEG and PSF made from recycled PET bottles indeed constitute two different PSF types within the product scope of PSF.
Vsi naslednji proizvodni koraki so enaki.
Nevertheless, the two types share the same physical and chemical characteristics and their end-uses are basically the same.
Končni izdelek ima enake lastnosti, ob upoštevanju, da so lahko razredi kakovosti različni, kot je bilo tudi predvideno v kontrolni številki izdelka.
It is recognised that not all product types are interchangeable, but previous investigations and the current investigation established that there is at least a partial interchangeability and overlapping use across the different product types.
Razlika v ceni (če obstaja) zaradi različnih razredov kakovosti je torej zajeta tudi v kontrolni številki izdelka.
The claim was therefore dismissed.
Navadne in posebne vrste rezanih poliestrskih vlaken
One exporting producer re-iterated in its submission that the use of recycled PET bottles as opposed to the use of flakes made from recycled PET bottles entails a different production process and constitutes a different raw material.
En vladni organ in štirje proizvajalci izvozniki so trdili, da je treba navadne in posebne vrste rezanih poliestrskih vlaken zaradi razlik v stroških proizvodnje, prodajnih cen in uporabi obravnavati kot različne izdelke.
The same party also added that the cost and selling price as well as the quality of the PSF produced with recycled PET bottles are significantly lower than those of ‘normal PSF’.
Trdili so tudi, da se industrija Unije osredotoča na posebne vrste rezanih poliestrskih vlaken, zadevne države pa dobavljajo zlasti navadne vrste rezanih poliestrskih vlaken.
The Commission maintains that the raw material, be it recycled PET bottles or flakes made from recycled PET bottles, is essentially the same.
Vladni organ in štirje proizvajalci izvozniki, ki so navedli trditev, opisano v uvodni izjavi 57, niso predložili opredelitve posebnih vrst rezanih poliestrskih vlaken.
Compared to PET flakes, the additional steps needed, when using PET bottles, are the sorting and washing of the bottles, followed by the shredding of the bottles into flakes.
Posebne vrste rezanih poliestrskih vlaken, kot so jih opredelili vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije, zajemajo rezana poliestrska vlakna, izdelana iz kombinacije poliestra in polietilena za uporabo v higienskih izdelkih, barvana rezana poliestrska vlakna, rezana poliestrska vlakna posebne trdnosti, rezana poliestrska vlakna z zaviralci gorenja, rezana poliestrska vlakna za tehnično uporabo (kot so geotekstil in netkan tekstil za uporabo v gradbeništvu), rezana poliestrska vlakna, ki se za posebne uporabe opredelijo, razvijejo in prilagodijo skupaj s stranko, ter rezana poliestrska vlakna, ki se uporabljajo v avtomobilski industriji (zlasti barva vidnih oblog v avtomobilih mora biti konsistentna).
All subsequent production steps are the same.
Navadne vrste rezanih poliestrskih vlaken po mnenju vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije zajemajo tista rezana poliestrska vlakna, ki imajo glede na svoje specifikacije širšo uporabo.
In addition, the final product has the same characteristics, with the understanding that various grades of quality may exist as was also foreseen in the PCN.
Glede na predlagano opredelitev posebnih in navadnih vrst rezanih poliestrskih vlaken imata obe vrsti iste osnovne fizikalne, tehnične in kemične lastnosti.
Price difference (if any) as a result of various grades of quality is therefore also captured by the PCN.
Čeprav jih je več vrst, razredov ali kakovosti, to ne pomeni, da jih ni mogoče obravnavati kot en izdelek.
