However when neither the GOC, nor the SOCBs, nor the companies could provide information, for example on credit worthiness, the Commission had to use ‘facts available’ under Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Kadar pa informacij, na primer o kreditni sposobnosti, niso mogle predložiti niti kitajska vlada niti državne komercialne banke niti družbe, pa je morala Komisija uporabiti „razpoložljiva dejstva“ iz člena 28 osnovne uredbe.
As regards the other subsidies not specifically mentioned in the Notice of Initiation by reference to a particular programme, and found during the verification visits of the sampled exporting producers, the Commission has used all the evidence available to reach its conclusions.
V zvezi z drugimi subvencijami, ki v zvezi z določenim programom niso bile posebej navedene v obvestilu o začetku in ki so bile ugotovljene med preveritvenimi obiski vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, je Komisija za sprejetje sklepa uporabila vse razpoložljive dokaze.
Those subsidies found were falling under the types of measures and practices described in the Notice of Initiation, and the Commission offered the GOC further consultations on these subsidies without the offer being taken up.
Te ugotovljene subvencije so sodile k vrstam ukrepov in praks, opisanih v obvestilu o začetku, zato je Komisija povabila kitajsko vlado na nadaljnja posvetovanja v zvezi s temi subvencijami, vendar ta povabila ni sprejela.
The Commission considers that those subsidies are closely connected to the types of measures and practices alleged in the complaint and the Notice.
Komisija meni, da so te subvencije tesno povezane z domnevnimi vrstami ukrepov in praks, ki so navedene v pritožbi in obvestilu o začetku.
After disclosure the GOC challenged the Commission’s conclusions as regards the subsidies found during the inspection of the sampled companies and for other points regarding subsidy schemes.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izpodbijala sklepe Komisije v zvezi s subvencijami, ugotovljenimi med pregledom vzorčenih družb, in za druge točke v zvezi s subvencijskimi shemami.
The Commission would like to clarify that it did not apply Article 28 in these cases.
Komisija želi pojasniti, da v teh primerih ni uporabljala člena 28.
Where cooperation was good but information simply could not be provided – for example the exact legal basis for a one-off subsidy payment – then the evidence provided by the company concerned was used to reach a conclusion as to whether this was a countervailable subsidy or not.
Kadar je bilo sodelovanje učinkovito, vendar informacij dejansko ni bilo mogoče zagotoviti – na primer natančne pravne podlage za enkratno plačilo subvencije –, so se za sprejetje sklepa v zvezi s tem, ali je šlo za subvencijo, proti kateri se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, ali ne, uporabili dokazi, ki jih je predložila zadevna družba.
The GOC also alleges that the Commission did not provide enough information in the disclosure when it used best facts available under Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Kitajska vlada prav tako trdi, da Komisija v razkritju ni zagotovila zadostnih informacij o tem, v katerih primerih je uporabila najboljša razpoložljiva dejstva v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe.
This allegation in fact refers to the use of the conclusions of previous investigations where the same subsidy was investigated.
Ta trditev se dejansko nanaša na uporabo sklepov prejšnjih preiskav v zvezi z isto subvencijo.
Where this is the case the Commission has referred to the exact recitals of the Regulation concerned and summarised the arguments found.
Komisija se je v teh primerih sklicevala na konkretne uvodne izjave zadevne uredbe in povzela ugotovljene argumente.
The GOC notes that the disclosure document does not describe particular one-off subsidies found at the sampled companies in any great detail.
Kitajska vlada poudarja, da dokument o razkritju ne opisuje podrobno posameznih enkratnih subvencij, ugotovljenih pri vzorčenih družbah.
This has been done specifically to protect the business confidential information provided by the sampled companies to the Commission, and no further non-confidential summary is possible.
Razlog za to je bilo zlasti varovanje zaupnih poslovnih informacij, ki so jih vzorčene družbe predložile Komisiji, zato ni mogoča dodatna nezaupna različica povzetka.
Full confidential disclosure was made to each individual sampled exporting producer.
Vsi posamezni vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki so prejeli popolnoma zaupen dokument o razkritju.
Where the legal basis was provided by the sampled exporting producer then this was noted in the disclosure back to the company.
Kadar je vzorčeni proizvajalec izvoznik predložil pravno podlago, je bilo to zabeleženo v dokumentu v razkritju, ki ga je prejela družba.
In any case, when the GOC was offered consultations on these subsidies, it was also given an opportunity to provide further relevant information, which it did not do.
Kadar so bila kitajski vladi ponujena posvetovanja v zvezi s temi subvencijami, je vsekakor dobila tudi priložnost za predložitev ustreznih dodatnih informacij, česar pa ni storila.

Komisija je kitajski vladi poslala dodatek, ki naj bi ga slednja posredovala državnim komercialnim bankam, javnim razvojnim bankam in zasebnim finančnim institucijam, ki so posodile denar vzorčenim družbam v obdobju preiskave.
The Commission sent to the GOC an Appendix to be forwarded to the SOCBs, public development banks and privately owned financial institutions that lent money to the companies sampled during the investigation period.
Kitajska vlada je Komisijo obvestila, da je to storila, vendar ni prejela nobenega izpolnjenega vprašalnika.
The GOC informed the Commission that they did so but they did not receive a reply.
Zato je Komisija, kot je navedeno zgoraj, kitajsko vlado obvestila, da bo zaradi nesodelovanja uporabila člen 28, za sprejetje sklepa glede te točke pa razpoložljiva dejstva.
As set out above, the Commission has therefore advised the GOC that due to this lack of cooperation, it will apply Article 28 and use facts available to reach its conclusions on this point.
Pravna podlaga
Legal basis
Naslednje pravne določbe urejajo preferenčna posojila na Kitajskem: Zakon LRK o komercialnih bankah („zakon o bančništvu“), Splošna pravila o posojilih, ki jih je spodbujala Ljudska banka Kitajske („LBK“) 28. junija 1996 in sklep št. 40 državnega sveta, kot je navedeno zgoraj.
The following legal provisions provide for preferential lending in China: The Law of the PRC on Commercial Banks (the banking law), The General Rules on Loans promulgated by the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) on 28 June 1996 and Decision No 40 of the of the State Council as referenced above.
Ugotovitve preiskave
Findings of the investigation
V predhodnih protisubvencijskih preiskavah v zvezi z LRK je bilo ugotovljeno, da v bančnem sistemu na Kitajskem prevladujejo državne banke ali banke, v katerih ima država nadzorno udeležbo v smislu deleža.
Previous anti-subsidy investigations against the PRC have concluded that the banking system in China is dominated by state-owned banks, or banks where the State has a controlling interest in terms of shareholding.
Navajajo se kot „državne komercialne banke“.
Both are referred to as ‘SOCB’s’.
Komisija je ugotovila tudi, da državne komercialne banke izvajajo vladno pooblastilo.
The Commission also found that SOCBs are exercising governmental authority.
Komisija ni našla dokazov o spremembi položaja.
The Commission found no evidence that the situation had changed.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 161 uredbe o sončnih ploščah, ki je zadnja preiskava o tej temi, v smislu bilančne vsote pet največjih državnih komercialnih bank (Kmetijska banka, Banka Kitajske, Konstrukcijska banka Kitajske, Komunikacijska banka ter Industrijska in komercialna banka) predstavlja več kot 50 % bančnega sektorja.
As noted in recital 161 of the solar panels Regulation, which is the latest investigation covering this subject, the five largest SOCBs (Agricultural Bank of China, Bank of China, China Construction Bank, Bank of Communications and ICBC) represent more than 50 % of the banking sector in terms of balance sheet sum.
Na podlagi uporabe razpoložljivih dejstev, vključno z dejstvi, ugotovljenimi v uredbi o sončnih ploščah, še vedno velja sklep, da so državne komercialne banke javni organi v smislu člena 2(b) osnovne uredbe, kot je bilo podrobno navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 158 do 168 uredbe o sončnih ploščah.
Based on the use of facts available, including facts established in the solar panels Regulation, the conclusion remains that SOCBs are public bodies within the meaning of Article 2(b) of the basic Regulation, as was set out in detail in recitals 158 to 168 of the solar panels Regulation.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izpodbijala ta sklep z navedbo, da Komisija ni opredelila razlogov za domnevo, da so državne komercialne banke javni organi.
Following disclosure the GOC disputed this conclusion stating that the Commission had not set out the reasons why they considered that SOCBs were public bodies.
Komisija to trditev zavrača, saj so razlogi, zakaj so državne komercialne banke javni organi, opredeljeni v uvodnih izjavah 158 do 168 uredbe o sončnih ploščah, kitajska vlada pa ni predložila nobenih informacij, ki bi nasprotovale tem najboljšim razpoložljivim dejstvom.
The Commission rejects this allegation as the reasons why SOCBs are public bodies is set out in recitals 158 to 168 of the solar panels Regulation and the GOC provided no information that would contradict those best facts available.
Na kratko:
In summary:
državne komercialne banke imajo največji tržni delež in so vodilne akterke na trgu LRK;
SOCBs hold the highest market share and are the predominant players on the market in the PRC;
na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev je mogoče sklepati, da vlada državne komercialne banke nadzoruje prek lastništva in upravnega nadzora nad njihovim poslovanjem, vključno s postavljanjem omejitev za obrestne mere, ki jih lahko ponujajo;
On the basis of facts available SOCBs are controlled by the government by means of ownership and administrative control of their commercial behaviour including limits on interest rates they can offer;
zakon o bančništvu ter drugi zakoni in uredbe zahtevajo od bank, da posojajo v skladu s potrebami nacionalnega gospodarstva, zagotavljajo kreditno podporo spodbujanim projektom ter dajejo prednost podjetjem z novo tehnologijo in visokotehnološkim podjetjem.
The banking law and other laws and Regulations require banks to lend according to the needs of the national economy, provide credit support to encouraged projects, and give priority to new and high technology enterprises.
Sklepi v teh uvodnih izjavah so novi, saj so bili objavljeni šele konec leta 2013 ob popolnem upoštevanju sprememb politike o najnižjih obrestnih merah na Kitajskem, ki so bile uvedene julija 2013.
The conclusions in these recitals are recent, as they were only published at the end of 2013, and were published in the full knowledge of the change in July 2013 to the policy on floors of interest rates in China.
Komisija je kot v predhodnih preiskavah poskušala preveriti vlogo, ki sta jo imeli kitajska vlada in predvsem centralna banka, Ljudska banka Kitajske („LBK“), na finančnih trgih in v bančnem sektorju v zvezi s posojili industriji solarnega stekla.
As in previous investigations, the Commission attempted to verify the role played by the GOC and in particular the central bank, the People’s Bank of China (PBOC) in the financial markets and the banking sector in relation to the lending to the solar glass industry.
Čeprav je bilo sodelovanje kitajske vlade in LBK na splošno zadovoljivo, LBK ni predložila celotnega besedila „Okrožnice o vprašanjih glede prilagajanja obrestnih mer vlog in posojil“ (YinFa (2004) 251), v kateri so določene najnižje in najvišje obrestne mere za posojila in depozite.
Whereas cooperation from the GOC and the PBOC was in general satisfactory, the PBOC did not provide the full text of the ‘Circular on the issues about adjusting interest rates on deposits and loans’ (YinFa (2004) 251) which sets interest rate floors and ceilings for loans and deposits.
Za komercialna bančna posojila (tako državne komercialne banke in zasebne komercialne banke) in posojila javnih razvojnih bank je v okrožnici določena le najnižja obrestna mera.
For commercial bank lending (both SOCBs and privately owned commercial banks) and public development bank lending, the Circular only sets a floor.
Pri preferenčnih posojilih in posojilih, za katera je kitajska vlada sprejela posebna pravila, je z okrožnico zagotovljeno, da se obrestne mere ne spreminjajo navzgor.
For preferential loans and loans for which the GOC has adopted specific regulations, the circular provides that the interest rates are not allowed to float upwards.
Natančna najvišja obrestna mera je določena v posebnih pravilih, ki se uporabljajo za navedena posojila.
The precise upper limit is set in the specific regulations applicable to those loans.
Med preveritvenim obiskom Komisije je LBK navedla, da dokumenta ni mogoče predložiti, ker ni bil javno dostopen na njeni spletni strani.
During the Commission’s verification visit, the PBOC stated that the document could not be provided as it was not available publicly on their website.
Vendar pa je bila v okviru iskanja na spletu v paketu dokumentov, ki jih je kitajska vlada pred nekaj leti predložila avstralskim oblastem, najdena kopija okrožnice in njen prevod v angleščino [13].
A search of the internet however found a copy of the Circular, and a translation in English, in a package of documents given to the Australian authorities by the GOC some years ago [13].
Ker Komisija ni prejela uradne kopije neposredno od kitajske vlade, je štela to različico za verodostojno in popolno kopijo zadevne okrožnice.
In the absence of an official copy directly from the GOC, the Commission has taken this version as a true and complete copy of the Circular concerned.
Okrožnica kaže, da je LBK vplivala na določanje obrestnih mer za posojila, ki so jih v OP dodelile državne komercialne banke v LRK.
The Circular shows that the PBOC influenced the setting of interest rates for loans granted during the IP by SOCBs in the PRC.
Kitajska vlada je pojasnila, da je LBK julija 2013 ukinila najnižjo in najvišjo obrestno mero za posojila.
The GOC explained that in July 2013 the PBOC abolished both the floor and the ceiling for lending interest rates.
To je bilo ugotovljeno, vendar ni vplivalo na tukaj sprejete sklepe, ker je bilo to izvedeno po obdobju preiskave.
This was noted but as this was after the end of the investigation period it does not affect the conclusion set out here.
V vsakem primeru najnižje obrestne mere, ki so se uporabljale v obdobju preiskave, niso edini argument, zakaj Komisija obravnava državne komercialne banke kot javne organe.
In any case the floor on interest rates that was current during the investigation period is not the sole argument as to why the Commission considers SOCBs as public bodies.
Ne glede na to še vedno veljajo sklepi iz uvodnih izjav 158 do 168 uredbe o sončnih ploščah.
The conclusions in recitals 158 to 168 of the solar panels Regulation still apply regardless.
Kitajska vlada je po razkritju izrazila več pripomb na okrožnico „YinFa (2004) 251“, ne da bi pojasnila, zakaj Komisiji ni predložila celotnega besedila te okrožnice, in ne da bi potrdila, da je besedilo, ki je bilo posredovano avstralskim oblastem in ki ga je našla Komisija, točno.
Following disclosure the GOC made several comments on the Circular ‘YinFa (2004) 251’ without giving an explanation as to why the full text of this Circular was not provided to the Commission, and without confirming whether the text given to the Australian authorities, and found by the Commission, was accurate.
Kot je že bilo predhodno ugotovljeno pri preiskavi glede sončnih plošč, okrožnica jasno opredeljuje navodila v zvezi s posojanjem, ki jih je LBK pripravila za druge banke.
As was previously found in the solar panels investigation, the Circular clearly sets out the instructions of the PBOC to banks as regards lending.
Kot je bilo ugotovljeno v prejšnjih preiskavah, je vsebina te okrožnice pomembna za razumevanje vloge kitajske vlade in LBK v povezavi z bankami in posojanjem.
As stated in previous investigations, the content of this Circular is important in understanding the role the GOC and PBOC play in the direction of banks and lending.
Sklep Komisije še vedno velja, in sicer, prvič, da člen 34 zakona o bančništvu od bank LRK zahteva, da posojilno dejavnost izvajajo v skladu s potrebami nacionalnega gospodarstva, kot je že bilo predhodno ugotovljeno v uredbi o sončnih ploščah.
The Commission’s conclusion remains as was previously found in the solar panels Regulation, namely first that Article 34 of the banking law requires banks in the PRC to carry out their loan business according to the needs of the national economy.
Potrebe nacionalnega gospodarstva so določene v 12. petletnem načrtu.
The needs of the national economy are laid down in the 12th Five Year Plan.
Po razkritju je kitajska vlada izpodbijala razlago člena 34 zakona o bančništvu s strani Komisije z navedbo, da je „ta poved dvoumna in bankam ne zagotavlja natančnih navodil v zvezi z ravnanjem na določen način.
Following disclosure the GOC disputed the Commission’s interpretation of Article 34 of the banking law, stating that ‘this sentence is ambiguous and provides no explicit guidance to the banks to act in a certain manner.
Niti 12. petletni načrt niti nobena druga uredba/sklep ne opisuje potreb nacionalnega gospodarstva“.
No document describes the needs of the national economy, whether it be the 12th Five Year Plan or any other Regulation/Decision’.
To se razlikuje od razlage člena 34 s strani kitajske vlade v preiskavi glede sončnih plošč, kjer ga je opisala kot „nevtralnega“.
This differs from the GOC’s interpretation of Article 34 in the solar panels investigation, where it described it as ‘neutral’.
Komisija se ne strinja z oceno kitajske vlade.
The Commission disagrees with the assessment of the GOC.
Po njenem mnenju, pri čemer kitajska vlada ni dokazala nasprotno, so politike na področju nacionalnega gospodarstva določene v 12. petletnem načrtu in posebnem načrtu za fotonapetostno industrijo in se finančne institucije spodbujajo k posojanju spodbujanim industrijam, kot je industrija solarnega stekla.
The Commission considers, and the GOC has not demonstrated otherwise, that the policies regarding the national economy are set out in the 12th 5 Year Plan and the specific plan for the PV industry, and that financial institutions are encouraged to lend to encouraged industries such as solar glass.
Kitajska vlada je usmerila pozornost Komisije k drugim členom zakona o bančništvu, tj. k členom 4, 5 in 7, ki bi morali zagotoviti, da se posojila zagotavljajo brez vmešavanja in na podlagi ocene kreditnega tveganja.
The GOC has drawn the Commission’s attention to other articles of the Banking Law, namely Articles 4, 5 and 7, which should ensure that loans are made without interference and after a credit assessment.
Komisija priznava, da ti členi obstajajo, vendar poudarja, da kitajska vlada, banke in zadevne vzorčene družbe niso mogle dokazati, da so se posojila zagotavljala brez vmešavanja – glede na preferencialno posojanje industriji solarnega stekla – in na podlagi ocene kreditnega tveganja – saj kljub zahtevkom kot dokaz niso bili predloženi nobeni sporazumi o posojilu ali ocene tveganja, vključno z bonitetnimi ocenami, prav tako ni bila ugotovljena njihova povezava z morebitnim posojilom vzorčenemu proizvajalcu izvozniku.
