As also set out in the solar panel Regulation (at recitals 361 to 370), the land use right is provided at less than adequate remuneration when compared to a market benchmark, which is set out in section (e) below.
Proizvodnja solarnega stekla je spodbujana industrija, zato je zagotovitev pravic do rabe zemljišč za proizvajalce solarnega stekla vključena v določbe sklepa št. 40.
The Commission concludes that the provision of land use rights by the GOC should be considered a subsidy within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(iii) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation in the form of provision of goods conferring a benefit upon the companies.
Ena vzorčena družba je prav tako izpodbijala ugotovitve Komisije z navedbo, da je na Kitajskem obstajal delujoč trg za pravice do rabe zemljišč.
As the investigation did not reveal the existence of a functioning market for the sale of land use rights in the PRC the use of an external benchmark (see section (e) below) demonstrates that the amount paid for land use rights by the sampled exporters is below the market rate.
Vendar njena ocena procesa v zvezi s pravicami do rabe zemljišč na Kitajskem ne zadošča za sklep.
The subsidy is specific under Article 4(2)(a) and 4(2)(c) of the basic Regulation because Decision No 40 of the State Council requires that public authorities ensure that land is provided to encouraged industries, of which solar glass is one.
Še vedno ni mogla dokazati, da so pravice do rabe zemljišč neodvisno vrednotene; da se prodajajo v okviru neodvisne dražbe; da ceno pravice do rabe zemljišča določa trg v okviru konkurenčnega razpisnega postopka in da podpora vlade ni izkrivila nobene cene.
Article 18 of Decision No 40 makes clear that industries that are ‘restricted’ will not have access to land use rights.
Vzorčena družba je nato trdila, da bi morala Komisija kljub dejstvu, da bi morala ugotoviti obstoj delujočega trga, kar izključuje subvencioniranje, primerjati ceno pravice do rabe zemljišča družbe z referenčno vrednostjo, tj. cenami pravice do rabe zemljišča v provinci, v kateri je imela družba sedež.
The situation concerning land in the PRC is also discussed in the IMF Working Paper which confirms that the provision of LUR to Chinese industries does not respect market conditions [19].
Glede na to, da je Komisija ugotovila, da v zadevni provinci ni ustrezne tržne referenčne vrednosti, je bil ta argument zavrnjen.
The GOC disputed the finding of specificity stating that the restrictions in Decision No 40 cannot be used to prove a specific granting of a benefit.
Izračun stopnje subvencije
This argument is rejected as the effect of Decision No 40 is to grant land use rights to encouraged industries.
Ugodnost je razlika med plačano ceno za pravico do rabe zemljišča in ustrezno zunanjo referenčno vrednostjo.
Solar glass production is an encouraged industry and therefore the provision of land use rights for solar glass manufacturers is included in the provisions of Decision No 40.
Kot v uredbi o sončnih ploščah je zunanja referenčna vrednost tržna vrednost zemljišča v ločenem carinskem območju Tajvana, Penghuja, Kinmena in Matsuja („kitajski Tajpej“).
One sampled company also disputed the Commission’s findings, stating that there was a functioning market in China for land use rights.
Po razkritju je kitajska vlada izpodbijala uporabo kitajskega Tajpeja za referenčno vrednost in zahtevala več informacij, zakaj se je kitajski Tajpej štel za primernega.
However their assessment of the land use right process in China does not result in their conclusion.
Kot je bilo pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 467 uredbe o sončnih ploščah, Komisija šteje kitajski Tajpej za primerno zunanjo referenčno vrednost iz naslednjih razlogov:
They were still unable to show that LURs are independently valued; that they are sold by an independent auction; that the price of the LUR is set by the market as the result of a competitive bidding process and that any price is undistorted by government support.
primerljiva stopnja gospodarskega razvoja, BDP in gospodarske strukture v kitajskem Tajpeju ter v večini provinc in mest v LRK, kjer imajo vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki sedež;
The sampled company then stated that despite the fact that the Commission should have found that there was a functioning market, and therefore no subsidy, the Commission should compare the price of the company’s LUR to a benchmark, namely the prices of LUR in the province in which the company was located.
fizična bližina LRK in kitajskega Tajpeja;
Given that the Commission has established that there is no appropriate market benchmark in that province, this argument was rejected.
visoka raven industrijske infrastrukture, ki jo imajo kitajski Tajpej in mnogo provinc v LRK;
Calculation of the subsidy margin
močne gospodarske vezi in čezmejna trgovina med kitajskim Tajpejem in LRK;
The benefit is the difference between the price paid for the land use right, and an appropriate external benchmark.
velika gostota naseljenosti v mnogih provincah LRK in kitajskem Tajpeju;
As in the solar panels Regulation, this external benchmark is the market price for land in the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan, Penghu, Kinmen and Matsu (Chinese Taipei).
podobnost med vrsto zemljišč in transakcij, uporabljenih za oblikovanje ustrezne referenčne vrednosti na kitajskem Tajpeju, s tistimi v LRK; in
Following disclosure the GOC disputed the use of Chinese Taipei as a benchmark and requested more information as to why Chinese Taipei was suitable.
skupne demografske, jezikovne in kulturne značilnosti kitajskega Tajpeja in LRK.
As was explained in recital 467 of the solar panels Regulation, the Commission considers Chinese Taipei as a suitable external benchmark for the following reasons:
Komisija je ob upoštevanju vseh teh dejavnikov sprejela sklep, da bi bile cene pravic do rabe zemljišč v LRK, če bi prevladali tržni pogoji, za vzorčene proizvajalce izvoznike zelo podobne cenam zemljišč v kitajskem Tajpeju.
the comparable level of economic development, GDP and economic structure in Chinese Taipei and a majority of the provinces and cities in the PRC where the sampled exporting producers are based;
Ena vzorčena družba je izrazila mnenje, da bi bilo treba, če bi se upoštevala zunanja referenčna vrednost, upoštevati BDP province, v kateri ima sedež, referenčna vrednost pa bi morala ustrezati „veljavnim cenam zemljišč v Egiptu, Armeniji, Gvatemali, Kongu, Mongoliji ali Indoneziji“, saj imajo te države „podobno stopnjo razvoja“.
the physical proximity of the PRC and Chinese Taipei;
Argument je bil zavrnjen iz naslednjih razlogov:
the high degree of industrial infrastructure in both Chinese Taipei and many provinces of the PRC;
Raven gospodarskega razvoja ni edini zgoraj navedeni dejavnik, zakaj je bil kitajski Tajpej ustrezna referenčna vrednost;
the strong economic ties and cross border trade between Chinese Taipei and the PRC;
družba se je sklicevala na provinco, v kateri ima sedež, in ne na mesto, ki ima veliko večji BDP na prebivalca kot provinca, ki ga obkroža; in
the high density of population in many of the provinces of the PRC and in Chinese Taipei;
družba razen BDP ni navedla nobenega drugega argumenta, zakaj bi bila katera koli druga zunanja referenčna vrednost ustreznejša od kitajskega Tajpeja.
the similarity between the type of land and transactions used for constructing the relevant benchmark in Chinese Taipei with those in the PRC; and
Še ena vzorčena družba je po razkritju trdila, da uporaba kitajskega Tajpeja ne ustreza gospodarskim razmeram v zadevni provinci, v kateri ima sedež, vendar ni predlagala druge možnosti.
the common demographic, linguistic and cultural characteristics between Chinese Taipei and the PRC.
Glede na pomanjkanje predlogov v zvezi z alternativno referenčno vrednostjo je bila potrjena uporaba kitajskega Tajpeja.
Taking all these factors into account, the Commission concluded that land use right prices in the PRC, if market conditions prevailed, for the sampled exporting producers, would be very similar to land prices in Chinese Taipei.
Povprečne cene zemljišča v kitajskem Tajpeju v letu 2012 so bile pridobljene pri industrijskem uradu ministrstva za gospodarske zadeve in za določitev cene zemljišča za vsako koledarsko leto prilagojene na podlagi inflacijskih stopenj in spreminjanja BDP na prebivalca.
One sampled company suggested that if an external benchmark was to be taken, then the GDP of the province in which they were located should be taken into account and the benchmark should be ‘current land prices in Egypt, Armenia, Guatemala, Congo, Mongolia or Indonesia’ as these countries were at a ‘similar degree of development’.
Ker pravice do rabe zemljišča veljajo 50 let in so na tej podlagi amortizirane, ugodnost v OP znaša 1/50 razlike med referenčno ceno in dejansko plačano ceno.
This argument was rejected for the following reasons:
Ugotovljena subvencijska stopnja za zagotavljanje zemljišč za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo znaša:
The level of economic development is not the only factor listed above as to why Chinese Taipei was a suitable benchmark;
Zagotavljanje zemljišč za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo
the company referred to the province where it was located, rather than the city, which has a much higher GDP per capita than the province surrounding it; and
Sklep o subvencioniranju
they advanced no arguments, other than GDP, as to why any of the other external benchmarks would be more appropriate than Chinese Taipei.
Komisija je zneske subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, v skladu z določbami osnovne uredbe za preiskovane družbe izračunala za vsako shemo posebej in za izračun skupnega zneska subvencij za celotno družbo v OP te zneske seštela.
Another sampled company suggested following disclosure that the use of Chinese Taipei was not suited to the economic conditions in the particular province in which they were located, but did not suggest an alternative.
Komisija je za izračun spodaj navedenih splošnih stopenj subvencije najprej izračunala odstotek subvencioniranja, pri čemer je znesek subvencije dodeljen za skupni dohodek od prodaje družbe.
Given the lack of alternative benchmark suggestions, the use of Chinese Taipei is confirmed.
Ta odstotek je bil nato uporabljen za izračun subvencije, dodeljene izvoznikom zadevnega izdelka v Unijo v OP.
Average land prices in Chinese Taipei for 2012 were taken from the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and adjusted backwards for inflation and GDP growth to fix a benchmark price for land in each calendar year.
Nato je bil izračunan znesek subvencije na kvadratni meter zadevnega izdelka, izvoženega v Unijo v OP, spodaj navedene stopnje pa so bile izračunane kot odstotek vrednosti CIF za isti izvoz na kvadratni meter.
As land use rights are valid for 50 years and depreciated on this basis, the benefit in the IP will be 1/50 of the difference between the benchmark price and the actual price paid.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izrazila pripombo, da Komisija pri objavi stopenj subvencije v času razkritja ni upoštevala stopenj dampinga, izračunanih v vzporednem protidampinškem postopku, in da je vprašanje „dvojnega štetja“ upoštevala le pri izračunu stopnje dajatve, ki bo uvedena.
The subsidy rate established for provision of land at less than adequate remuneration (‘LTAR’) is as follows:
Kitajska vlada je zahtevala, da se, če je bilo ugotovljeno, da subvencije povzročajo damping, to upošteva pri izračunu stopenj in dajatev.
Provision of land at LTAR
Glede na to, da ukrepe v tem primeru omejuje stopnja škode, taka manipulacija ne bi spremenila dejansko uvedenih dajatev.
Conclusion on subsidisation
Zato se Komisiji ni zdelo potrebno obravnavati vsebine teh trditev.
The Commission has calculated the amounts of countervailable subsidies in accordance with the provisions of the basic Regulation for the investigated companies scheme by scheme, and added these figures together to calculate a total subsidy amount for the whole company for the IP.
D. ŠKODA
To calculate the overall subsidy margins below, the Commission first calculated the percentage subsidisation, being the subsidy amount over total company turnover.
Opredelitev pojmov industrija Unije in proizvodnja Unije
This percentage was then used to calculate the subsidy allocated to exports of the product concerned to the Union during the IP.
Osem proizvajalcev, ki je v Uniji proizvajalo podoben izdelek v OP, se je javilo po začetku preiskave.
The subsidy amount per square metre of product concerned exported to the Union during the IP was then calculated, and the margins below calculated as a percentage of the CIF value of the same exports per square metre.
Komisija ne ve za nobenega drugega proizvajalca podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
Following disclosure the GOC commented that the Commission did not take into account the dumping margins calculated in the parallel anti-dumping proceeding when publishing the subsidy margins at the time of disclosure, and that the Commission only dealt with the issue of ‘double-counting’ when calculating the duty to be imposed.
Komisija zato meni, da teh osem proizvajalcev sestavlja industrijo Unije v smislu člena 9(1) osnovne uredbe, v nadaljnjem besedilu pa bodo imenovani „industrija Unije“.
The GOC requested that when subsidisation was found to cause dumping, that the margin calculations should reflect this, as well as the duty calculations.
Za določitev celotne proizvodnje Unije v OP so bile uporabljene vse razpoložljive informacije o industriji Unije, vključno z informacijami, ki jih je predložil pritožnik, makroekonomski podatki, ki jih je predložilo združenje industrije Unije (Steklo za Evropo), in izpolnjeni vprašalniki vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
Given that the measures in this case are limited by the injury margin, such manipulation would not change the actual duties imposed.
Za vzorčene proizvajalce Unije so bili podatki navzkrižno preverjeni z izpolnjenimi vprašalniki.
The Commission therefore did not consider it necessary to address the substance of these claims.
Na podlagi tega je bila celotna proizvodnja Unije v OP ocenjena na približno 21734000 kvadratnih metrov.
D. INJURY
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju opozorila na razlike med podatki, navedenimi v dokumentu o razkritju, in podatki iz pritožbe v zvezi z industrijo Unije.
Definition of the Union industry and Union production
Nadalje je trdila, da to kaže na pomanjkanje objektivnih in verodostojnih dokazov ter izpodbija sklepe Komisije.
Eight producers that manufactured the like product in the Union during the IP came forward following initiation.
Razlike med podatki iz pritožbe in podatki v dokumentu o razkritju, ki jih je ugotovila kitajska vlada, je povzročilo dejstvo, da so bili vsi podatki v zvezi z vzorčenimi proizvajalci Unije preverjeni na kraju samem in po potrebi posodobljeni.
The Commission is not aware of any other Union producers of the like product.
Ker vzorec predstavlja 79 % skupne prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije, Komisija ne more sprejeti argumenta, da uporabljeni dokazi, na podlagi katerih je Komisija sprejela sklepe, niso bili objektivni in verodostojni.
The Commission therefore considers that those eight producers constitute the Union industry within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation and will be referred to as ‘the Union industry’.
Določitev zadevnega trga Unije
All available information concerning the Union industry, including information provided by the complainant, macroeconomic data provided by the Union industry’s association (Glass for Europe) and the questionnaire responses of the sampled Union producers were used in order to establish the total Union production for the IP.
Nobena proizvodnja vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije ni bila namenjena za lastno uporabo.
For the sampled Union producers, the data was cross-checked with the questionnaire replies.
Zato ni bilo treba izvesti posebne analize prodaje na zaprtem trgu.
On this basis, the total Union production was estimated to be around 21734000 square metres during the IP.
Potrošnja Unije
After disclosure, the GOC noted differences between the data quoted in the disclosure document and the one contained in the complaint concerning the Union industry.
Potrošnja v Uniji je bila določena na podlagi obsega celotne prodaje Unije vseh proizvajalcev Unije na trgu Unije, pri čemer se je odštel njihov izvoz in prištel uvoz iz LRK ter uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav.
It further argued that this indicates the lack of objective and credible evidence and makes the conclusions reached by the Commission questionable.
Določitev potrošnje Unije je temeljila na podatkih, ki sta jih predložila pritožnik in združenje Steklo za Evropo ter ki so bili, v kolikor je bilo to mogoče, navzkrižno preverjeni z izpolnjenimi vprašalniki vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
The differences established by the GOC between the complaint data and the disclosure document are caused by the fact that all data relating to the sampled Union producers was verified on-spot and, when necessary, was updated.
Potrošnja Unije se je gibala na naslednji način:
As the sample represents 79 % of the total sales of the Union industry on the Union market, the Commission cannot accept the argument that the evidence used was not an objective and credible basis on which the Commission reached its conclusions.
Preglednica 1
Determination of the relevant Union market
Potrošnja Unije (1000 m2)
None of the sampled Union producers’ production was destined for captive use.
Vir: združenje Steklo za Evropo, pritožnik in izpolnjeni vprašalniki proizvajalcev Unije
Consequently there was no need to make a distinctive analysis of captive sales.
Celotna potrošnja Unije
Union consumption was established on the basis of the volume of the total Union sales on the Union market of all Union producers, that is excluding their exports, plus imports from the PRC and imports from other third countries.
Uvoz iz zadevne države
The establishment of Union consumption was based on data provided by the complainant and Glass for Europe and, when possible, cross-checked with the sampled Union producers’ questionnaire replies.
Obseg in tržni delež subvencioniranega uvoza iz zadevne države
Union consumption developed as follows:
Za določitev obsega in vrednosti uvoza ni bilo mogoče uporabiti podatkov Eurostata, ker se solarno steklo uvaža v Unijo pod oznako KN 70071980 – Drugo – Plastno varnostno steklo, ki zajema druge izdelke, ki niso zajeti v tej preiskavi.

Index
Vir: združenje Steklo za Evropo in pritožnik
In the period considered, total Union consumption increased by 65 % between 2009 and 2011, but decreased in the IP compared to 2011.
Obseg uvoza iz LRK (1000 m2)
Consumption in 2012 remained significantly above the level of 2009 though.
Tržni delež
This is mainly due to the increase in consumption of the end products, in particular solar modules (see Section E.2.3 below).
V obravnavanem obdobju se je obseg subvencioniranega uvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo znatno povečal, tj. za 596 %.
Imports from the country concerned
Zato se je tržni delež uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK na trg Unije znatno povečal (s 7,2 % na 30,5 %).
Volume and market share of the subsidised imports from the country concerned
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju trdila, da je Komisija uporabila pretirane podatke, saj je kitajska izvozna statistika nedvomno pokazala veliko nižji izvoz v OP v primerjavi z obsegom uvoza, navedenim v dokumentu o razkritju, in zahtevala pojasnilo, kako je bil ta obseg izračunan.
Since solar glass is imported in the Union under CN code 70071980 – Other — Laminated safety glass, which covers other products not subject to the present investigation, Eurostat could not be used to determine import volumes and values.
Komisija je izračune opravila na podlagi informacij, ki sta jih predložila pritožnik in združenje Steklo za Evropo.
Import volumes and values were based on data provided by the complainant and Glass for Europe.
Ti podatki so na voljo v nezaupni različici dokumenta.
Subsidised imports into the Union from the country concerned developed as follows:
Komisija je te informacije navzkrižno preverila s preverjenimi podatki, ki so jih predložili vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki in drugi sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki.

Market share
Uvozne cene (EUR/m2)
Over the period considered, subsidised import volumes of the product concerned to the Union increased considerably by 596 %.
Vir: pritožnik in izpolnjeni vprašalniki kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov
The Union consumption has also increased until 2012.
Povprečna uvozna cena za zadevni izdelek se je v obravnavanem obdobju znižala.
In 2012, when the Union market shrank, Chinese exporting producers could nevertheless still increase their total volume of imports.
Povprečna uvozna cena se je zmanjšala za 27,2 %, in sicer s 6,02 EUR/m2 v letu 2009 na 4,38 EUR/m2 v OP.
After disclosure, the GOC argued that the Commission has used highly inflated data, while Chinese export statistics arguably showed much lower exports in the IP compared to the import volume stated in the disclosure document and requested an explanation how these volumes have been calculated.
Za ugotovitev nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen v OP so se tehtane povprečne prodajne cene vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije za posamezno vrsto izdelka, zaračunane nepovezanim strankam na trgu Unije, prilagojene na raven cene franko tovarna, primerjale z ustreznimi tehtanimi povprečnimi cenami za posamezne uvožene vrste izdelkov vzorčenih kitajskih proizvajalcev, ki so bile zaračunane prvi neodvisni stranki na trgu Unije in določene na podlagi CIF s prilagoditvami navzgor, in sicer 0,40 EUR/m2 za carinjenje, manipulativne stroške in stroške natovarjanja ter 3 % uvozne dajatve.
The Commission first observes that the export statistics submitted by the GOC — including all types of tempered glass — are more than 2,5 times lower than what the statistics from Eurostat show for the entire CN code ex70071980 for 2012.
Te prilagoditve zvišujejo ceno glede na kontrolno številko izdelka za najmanj 7 % in največ 15 %, kar je 11 % tehtanega povprečja.
Consequently, it cannot consider them as reasonably reliable.
Primerjava cen je bila izvedena po posameznih vrstah izdelkov in za vsako vrsto transakcije posebej na isti ravni trgovine ter po ustrezni prilagoditvi iz zgornje uvodne izjave ter odbitku rabatov in popustov.
The Commission based its calculations on the information provided by the complainant and Glass for Europe.
Rezultat primerjave, izražen kot odstotek prihodkov od prodaje vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije v OP, je pokazal tehtano povprečno stopnjo nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen na družbo, ki je znašala med 10,6 % in 26,7 % cen vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije, zaradi subvencioniranega uvoza zadevnega izdelka.
This data is available in the non-confidential file.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
The Commission cross-checked this information with the verified data provided by the sampled exporting producers and by the other cooperating exporting producers.
V skladu s členom 8(5) osnovne uredbe je preiskava učinka subvencioniranega uvoza na industrijo Unije vključevala oceno vseh ekonomskih dejavnikov in kazalnikov, ki so vplivali na stanje industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
As mentioned in Section A3.3 above, the cooperating exporting producers covered almost 100 % of the reported exports of solar glass to the Union during 2012.
Kot je navedeno v oddelku A.3.2, je bilo vzorčenje uporabljeno za pregled morebitne škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Consequently, the Commission has no reasons to believe that the information on which it based its findings is incorrect.
Komisija je za analizo škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
