In respect of the claim that the Commission failed to assess the level of injury caused by the FIT cutbacks, reference is made to recitals (174), (175) and (182) to the provisional Regulation and recitals (245) to (263) above, where the Commission concluded that neither the decrease in demand nor the impact of FITs on Union prices were as such as to break the causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and the dumped imports from the PRC, irrespective of whether and to which extent they were possibly caused by the FIT cutbacks.
V zvezi s trditvijo, da Komisija ni ocenila ravni škode, ki so jo povzročila znižanja tarif za dovajanje toka, je treba omeniti uvodne izjave (174), (175) in (182) začasne uredbe ter uvodne izjave od (245) do (263) te izvedbene uredbe, v katerih je Komisija sklenila, da niti zmanjšanje povpraševanja niti vpliv tarif za dovajanje toka na cene Unije nista bila takšna, da bi prekinila vzročno zvezo med škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in dampinškim uvozom iz LRK, ne glede na to, ali in v kolikšnem obsegu sta bila morda posledici znižanj tarif za dovajanje toka.
Therefore, the claim that the Commission's findings have no factual basis was rejected.
Trditev, da ugotovitve Komisije nimajo dejanske podlage, je bila zato zavrnjena.
As regards the claim that the decrease in the price of modules and cells was a global phenomenon, reference is made to the recitals (164) to (167) to the provisional Regulation where import volumes and prices from other countries than the PRC into the Union are assessed.
V zvezi s trditvijo, da je bilo znižanje cen modulov in celic svetovni pojav, je treba omeniti uvodne izjave od (164) do (167) začasne uredbe, kjer so ocenjeni obseg in cene uvoza iz držav, ki niso LRK, v Unijo.
While indeed there was a global downward trend in the prices of modules and cells, the dumped import prices from the PRC have exacerbated the downward trend to loss making levels.
Čeprav je bilo upadanje cen modulov in celic res svetovni trend, so cene dampinškega uvoza iz LRK še poslabšale negativen trend, zato so bile dosežene ravni cen, ki ustvarjajo izgubo.
On the basis of the above, this claim was rejected.
Na podlagi navedenega je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
Other financial support granted to the Union industry
Druga finančna podpora, odobrena industriji Unije
In the absence of any comments concerning other financial support schemes granted to the Union industry, the findings in recitals (184) and (185) to the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Ker ni bilo pripomb glede drugih shem finančne pomoči, odobrene industriji Unije, se ugotovitve v uvodnih izjavah (184) in (185) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
One interested party reiterated the claim that the overcapacity in the global as well as in the Union market caused the material injury rather than the imports from the PRC.
Ena od zainteresiranih strani je ponovila trditev, da je znatno škodo povzročila presežna zmogljivost na svetovnem trgu in na trgu Unije in ne uvoz iz LRK.
In this regard it was argued that the Union industry over-expanded its capacities as evidenced by the low capacity utilisation rate and that therefore any injury was self-inflicted.
V zvezi s tem je trdila, da je industrija Unije preveč razširila svoje zmogljivosti, kar dokazuje nizka stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, ter da je bila zato škoda samopovzročena.
The alleged impact of the overcapacity in the Union and world-wide was already addressed in recitals (185) to (190) to the provisional Regulation and therefore in the absence of any new element the claim had to be rejected.
Domnevni vpliv presežne zmogljivosti v Uniji in po svetu je bil že obravnavan v uvodnih izjavah od (185) do (190) začasne uredbe, trditev pa je bilo treba zavrniti, ker ni bilo novih elementov.
Another interested party claimed that the overcapacity led to price rationalization.
Druga zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je presežna zmogljivost povzročila racionalizacijo cen.
In this regard, it should be noted, on the one hand, that the overcapacity led in fact to a ‘race to the bottom’ and the suppression of the prices of Union industry, which on average exceeded the reduction of the costs of production.
V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da je po eni strani presežna zmogljivost dejansko povzročila tekmovanje za najnižjo raven in zajezitev cen industrije Unije, ki je v povprečju presegla zmanjšanje proizvodnih stroškov.
On the other hand, as outlined in recital (186) to the provisional Regulation, the capacity increases by the Union industry followed the market developments and were considered reasonable.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (186) začasne uredbe, pa je po drugi strani povečanje zmogljivosti industrije Unije sledilo razvoju trga in se je štelo za razumno.
Moreover, the increase in production capacity of cells was at a lower level than modules.
Poleg tega je bilo povečanje zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo celic manjše kot pri modulih.
The party concerned did not submit any new information or evidence in this respect and the claims in this regard had therefore to be rejected.
Zadevna stran ni predložila nobenih novih informacij ali dokazov v zvezi s tem, zato je bilo treba zadevne trditve zavrniti.
Another interested party claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry is due to the Union industry's focus only on specialized investments and its failure to make the necessary investments in capacity additions and cost reductions.
Druga zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica njene osredotočenosti zgolj na posebne naložbe ter njenega neizvajanja potrebnih naložb v povečanje zmogljivosti in znižanje stroškov.
Likewise, this claim could not be confirmed by the findings of the investigation which showed that the Union industry increased its production capacity and efficiency during the period considered (recitals (124) and (187) to the provisional Regulation. This claim was therefore rejected.
Tudi te trditve ni bilo mogoče potrditi z ugotovitvami preiskave, ki je pokazala, da je industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju povečala svoje proizvodne zmogljivosti in učinkovitost (uvodni izjavi (124) in (187) začasne uredbe). Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
Moreover, an interested party claimed that the Union industry increased its production capacity in spite of already low capacity utilisation rates, thus resulting in self-inflicted injury.
Poleg tega je druga zainteresirana stran trdila, da je industrija Unije povečala svoje proizvodne zmogljivosti kljub že tako nizkim stopnjam izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti in si s tem sama povzročila škodo.
This claim was based on the comparison between the trend of investments of the sampled Union producers and the trend of the capacity utilisation of the whole Union industry, which is not an appropriate basis for comparison.
Ta trditev je temeljila na primerjavi med trendom naložb vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije in trendom izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti celotne industrije Unije, kar ni ustrezna podlaga za primerjavo.
Furthermore, the investigation showed that the Union industry had not expanded its production capacities on a scale which exceeded the development of Union consumption, therefore this argument was rejected.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da industrija Unije svojih proizvodnih zmogljivosti ni razširila v obsegu, ki bi presegal razvoj potrošnje Unije, zato je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
Moreover, the evidence collected indicates that through investments in new machinery, the Union industry could reduce its cost of production and become more cost competitive.
Zbrani dokazi tudi kažejo, da bi lahko industrija Unije z naložbami v novo strojno opremo zmanjšala stroške proizvodnje in postala bolj stroškovno konkurenčna.
One interested party alleged that the conclusions in recital (189) to the provisional Regulation contradicted the findings made in recitals (124) and (186) to the provisional Regulation without however giving any further explanations specifying the nature or extend of the alleged contradictions.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da so ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave (189) začasne uredbe v nasprotju z ugotovitvami iz uvodnih izjav (124) in (186) začasne uredbe, vendar ni podala nobenih nadaljnjih pojasnil, ki bi opisale naravo ali obseg domnevnih protislovij.
Following the final disclosure, some interested parties contested that the capacity additions of the Union industry were reasonable and followed market developments and in particular the development of the Union consumption.
Po dokončnem razkritju so nekatere zainteresirane strani ugovarjale trditvi, da so bila povečanja zmogljivosti industrije Unije razumna in da so sledila razvoju trga in zlasti razvoju potrošnje v Uniji.
However, as far as modules are concerned the production capacity increased by 106 %, while the Union consumption increased by 221 % over the period considered, i.e. more than double.
Vendar pa se je vsaj v zvezi z moduli proizvodna zmogljivost v upoštevanem obdobju povečala za 106 %, medtem ko se je potrošnja Unije povečala za 221 %, tj. več kot dvakrat.
Likewise, as far as cells are concerned, the production capacity increased by 39 %, while the Union consumption increased by 87 % during the period considered.
Podobno se je v zvezi s celicami proizvodna zmogljivost v upoštevanem obdobju povečala za 39 %, potrošnja Unije pa za 87 %.
This shows that the increase in capacity was substantially below the increase in consumption and can therefore not be considered as unreasonable given that there never was overcapacity in the Union.
To kaže, da je bilo povečanje zmogljivosti bistveno manjše od povečanja potrošnje, zato ga ni mogoče šteti za nerazumnega glede na to, da v Uniji nikoli ni bilo presežne zmogljivosti.
Moreover, the analysis whether the capacity additions were reasonable should not be based on a year to year analysis, but should take into consideration the trend during the whole period considered.
Poleg tega analiza vprašanja, ali so bila povečanja zmogljivosti razumna, ne bi smela temeljiti na analizi posameznih let, temveč bi morala upoštevati trend v celotnem upoštevanem obdobju.
Thus, capacity additions will typically only become fully operational after a certain period of time after the investment made and the isolated analysis of one year may lead to a distorted picture.
Povečanja zmogljivosti se običajno v celoti izkoriščajo šele po določenem obdobju po opravljeni naložbi, zato bi ločena analiza za eno samo leto lahko ustvarila izkrivljeno sliko.
In absence of any other comments regarding the Union's industry overcapacity, the findings in recitals (185) to (190) to the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Ker ni bilo drugih pripomb v zvezi s presežno zmogljivostjo industrije Unije, se ugotovitve v uvodnih izjavah od (185) do (190) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
Impact of raw material prices
Vpliv cen surovin
Some interested parties reiterated that the Union industry or at least part of it could not benefit from the decrease in prices of polysilicon, during the IP, because of long term contracts for raw material.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so ponovno poudarile, da industrija Unije ali vsaj njen del zaradi dolgoročnih pogodb o surovinah ni mogel izkoristiti znižanja cen polisilicija v OP.
With reference to the findings in recital (193) to the provisional Regulation stating that the Union industry was able to renegotiate its long term contracts with its suppliers (including wafers producers) and therefore could benefit from lower prices, these parties claimed that the renegotiations or termination of long term contracts of polysilicon and/or wafers resulted in penalties.
V zvezi z ugotovitvami iz uvodne izjave (193) začasne uredbe, v kateri je navedeno, da se je industrija Unije lahko pogajala o dolgoročnih pogodbah s svojimi dobavitelji (vključno s proizvajalci rezin) in bi zato lahko izkoristila nižje cene, so te strani trdile, da bi morale v primeru pogajanj ali prekinitve dolgoročnih pogodb o dobavi polisilicija in/ali rezin plačati kazni.
To support this argument, these parties provided press articles reporting that some Union producers were facing litigation or that they terminated their contracts.
V podporo tej trditvi so te strani predložile časopisne članke, ki poročajo, da so se nekateri proizvajalci Unije znašli v pravnih sporih ali da so prekinili svoje pogodbe.
Some parties provided information allegedly confirming that the long term contracts could not be re-negotiated.
Nekatere strani so posredovale informacije, ki domnevno potrjujejo, da se o dolgoročnih pogodbah ni bilo mogoče ponovno pogajati.
Polysilicon is the main raw material for the wafers producers.
Polisilicij je glavna surovina za proizvajanje rezin.
The investigation revealed that polysilicon prices increased in 2008 when they reached their peak at around 500$/kg, but decreased again in 2009 reaching about 50-55 $/kg at the end of 2009 with only a slight upwards trend in 2010 and early 2011.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so se cene polisilicija v letu 2008 zvišale in dosegle svojo najvišjo vrednost, tj. približno 500 USD/kg, vendar so se leta 2009 zopet znižale in konec leta 2009 dosegle približno 50–55 USD/kg, v letu 2010 in na začetku leta 2011 pa so se le rahlo zvišale.
Prices dropped significantly during the IP resulting in the 30$/kg (JRC Scientific and Policy Reports, PV Status Report 2012).
Cene so se v OP znatno znižale in dosegle 30 USD/kg (znanstvena in politična poročila JRC – JRC Scientific and Policy Reports, poročilo o stanju na področju fotonapetostnih izdelkov JRC iz leta 2012 – PV Status Report 2012).
It should be noted that the impact of polysilicon prices on the Union industry could only be rather marginal as any effect on the cost of production of cells and modules was diluted through the value chain.
Treba je opozoriti, da je bil lahko vpliv cen polisilicija na industrijo Unije le zanemarljiv, saj je bil kakršen koli učinek na stroške proizvodnje celic in modulov porazdeljen po vsej vrednostni verigi.
Moreover, the above mentioned press articles referred to post-IP developments, which did not affect the situation of the Union producers concerned during the IP, and cannot therefore be taken into account.
Poleg tega se navedeni časopisni članki nanašajo na dogodke po OP, ki niso vplivali na položaj zadevnih proizvajalcev Unije v OP in jih zato ni mogoče upoštevati.
This matter was further investigated after the imposition of provisional measures and, as a result, it can be confirmed that the Union industry was indeed able to renegotiate not only the prices of the long-term contracts but also any contractual penalties relating to these long-term contracts.
To vprašanje je bilo nadalje proučeno po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov, posledično pa se lahko potrdi, da bi se industrija Unije res lahko pogajala tako o cenah dolgoročnih pogodb kot tudi o pogodbenih kaznih v zvezi s temi dolgoročnimi pogodbami.
One of the above interested parties argued further that it is sufficient that only some Union producers have been affected by the long term contracts and that the situation of the overall Union industry is irrelevant.
Ena od navedenih zainteresiranih strani je poleg tega trdila, da zadošča, da so dolgoročne pogodbe vplivale na samo nekatere proizvajalce Unije, in da položaj celotne industrije Unije ni pomemben.
It claimed that higher costs do not necessarily have to affect all operators in the same way.
Trdila je, da ni nujno, da višji stroški enako vplivajo na vse gospodarske subjekte.
This argument ignores the finding that overall, for the Union industry, the average polysilicon prices were in many cases not found to be higher than the market prices or than the spot prices and that therefore the issue whether higher costs affect all or only few operators was not considered pertinent.
Ta trditev ne upošteva splošne ugotovitve, da povprečne cene polisilicija za industrijo Unije v veliko primerih niso bile višje od tržnih ali promptnih cen in da se zato vprašanje, ali višji stroški vplivajo na vse gospodarske subjekte ali le na nekaj teh subjektov, ni obravnavalo kot relevantno.
Another interested party requested that the Commission separate, distinguish and quantify the effects of each factor having an impact on the situation of the Union industry; in particular the effect of the significant drop in polysilicon prices should be considered separately.
Druga zainteresirana stran je zahtevala, da Komisija ločeno obravnava in količinsko opredeli učinke vsakega dejavnika, ki je vplival na položaj industrije Unije, in trdila, da je treba ločeno obravnavati zlasti učinke znatnega padca cen polisilicija.
In this regard, it was argued that it was the decrease in the polysilicon prices rather than the price pressure from the Chinese imports that caused the decrease in sales prices.
V zvezi s tem je trdila, da je znižanje prodajnih cen posledica znižanja cen polisilicija in ne posledica cenovnega pritiska kitajskega uvoza.
As far as the Union industry is concerned it should be noted that the average selling prices decreased much further than the decrease of the average cost of production, on which the decline of raw material prices could have an impact.
Glede industrije Unije je treba opozoriti, da je bilo znižanje povprečnih prodajnih cen precej izrazitejše kot zmanjšanje povprečnih stroškov proizvodnje, na katere bi lahko vplivalo znižanje cen surovin.
Following the final disclosure, some interested parties reiterated that the impact of the decrease of polysilicon prices on the Union industry's cost was not limited or diluted through the value chain as concluded in the investigation.
Po dokončnem razkritju so nekatere zainteresirane strani ponovile, da vpliv znižanja cen polisilicija na stroške industrije Unije ni bil omejen ali porazdeljen po vrednostni verigi, kot je bilo ugotovljeno v preiskavi.
However, as already mentioned in recital (276) above, polysilicon is the main raw material for wafers producers, thus any impact on the production cost of cells or modules was found to be diluted in the value chain.
Vendar pa je polisilicij, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (276), glavna surovina za proizvajanje rezin, zato je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bil vsak vpliv na stroške proizvodnje celic ali modulov porazdeljen po vrednostni verigi.
The interested parties did not provide any evidence which could have devaluated this finding.
Zadevne strani niso predložile nobenih informacij, ki bi lahko zmanjšale pomen te ugotovitve.
Moreover, the investigation showed that the decrease of polysilicon prices over the period considered was reflected in the average cost of production of cells and modules of the sampled Union industry which decreased to a similar degree than the polysilicon prices.
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da se je znižanje cen polisilicija v upoštevanem obdobju izrazilo v povprečnem strošku proizvodnje celic in modulov vzorčene industrije Unije, ki se je znižal na podobno raven kot cene polisilicija.
One interested party questioned the impact of alleged penalties that the Union industry had to pay due to the re-negotiation of the supplier contracts.
Ena zainteresirana stran je izrazila dvom o vplivu domnevnih kazni, ki jih je industrija Unije morala plačati zaradi ponovnega pogajanja o dobavnih pogodbah.
In this regard, it cannot be excluded that a limited number of producers may have had to pay penalties for the cancellation of wafers supply contracts during the period considered.
Glede tega ni mogoče izključiti, da je omejeno število proizvajalcev morda moralo plačati kazen zaradi odpovedi pogodb o dobavi rezin v upoštevanem obdobju.
However, the Commission did not find any evidence that these penalties could have had an effect on the situation of the Union industry as a whole or would be representative.
Vendar pa Komisija ni našla nobenih dokazov, da bi te kazni lahko vplivale na položaj industrije Unije v celoti ali da bi bile reprezentativne.
Such evidence was also not provided by the interested party in question.
Takšnih dokazov ni predložila niti zadevna zainteresirana stran.
While it can therefore not be completely excluded that penalties could have had a certain negative impact on a limited number of Union producers, the overall impact on the Union industry is at best marginal and hence could not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the whole Union industry.
Medtem ko torej ni mogoče v celoti izključiti, da bi kazni lahko imele določen negativen vpliv na omejeno število proizvajalcev Unije, je celoten vpliv na industrijo Unije v najboljšem primeru obrobnega pomena in zato ne bi mogel prekiniti vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela celotna industrija Unije.
Another interested party claimed that the decrease of sales prices of the product under investigation in the Union is partly due to the reduction in the price of polysilicon.
Druga zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je znižanje cen izdelka v preiskavi v Uniji deloma posledica znižanja cen polisilicija.
However, in this regard, it should be noted that the investigation showed that the imports from the PRC were dumped and substantially undercutting the prices of the Union industry.
Vendar je treba v zvezi s tem opozoriti, da je preiskava pokazala, da je bil uvoz iz LRK dampinški in da je bistveno prispeval k nelojalnemu znižanju cen industrije Unije.
The price decrease therefore goes beyond the reduction in production costs that can be explained by the decrease in the raw material prices.
Znižanje cen torej ni zgolj posledica znižanja stroškov proizvodnje, ki ga je mogoče pojasniti z znižanjem cen surovin.
If the price decrease was merely the effect of the decrease of the raw material prices, the Union industry would not have been forced to decrease their sales prices below their cost of production.
Če bi bilo znižanje cen zgolj posledica znižanja cen surovin, industrija Unije ne bi bila prisiljena znižati svojih prodajnih cen do te mere, da bi bili nižji od stroškov proizvodnje.
Another interested party reiterated that the litigation of one Union producer after the IP may has affected the situation of at least this Union producer already during the IP.
Druga zainteresirana stran je ponovila, da bi pravni spor enega proizvajalca Unije po OP lahko vplival najmanj na položaj tega proizvajalca Unije že v OP.
This party did not explain however how and to what extend such event that occurred after the IP could indeed have had an effect on this producer's situation during the IP.
Vendar ta stran ni pojasnila, kako in v kolikšnem obsegu bi lahko tak dogodek, ki se je zgodil po OP, dejansko vplival na položaj tega proizvajalca v OP.
Likewise, the investigation did not reveal any evidence showing such effects.
Tudi preiskava ni razkrila nobenih dokazov o takšnih učinkih.
Moreover, the same interested party questioned the above mentioned findings, as allegedly no evidence was shown.
Poleg tega je ista zainteresirana stran izrazila dvom o navedenih ugotovitvah, ker naj ne bi bili predloženi nobeni dokazi.
However, the findings of the investigation were based on facts and positive evidence, non-confidential versions of which were available to all interested parties.
Vendar pa so ugotovitve preiskave temeljile na dejstvih in pozitivnih dokazih, katerih različice, ki niso zaupne narave, so bile dostopne vsem zainteresiranim stranem.
In absence of any other comments with regard to the impact of the raw material prices, the findings in recitals (191) to (194) to the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Ker ni bilo drugih pripomb v zvezi z učinkom cen surovin, se ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav od (191) do (194) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
