The Commission also examined whether subsidised exports from the USA to the Union would be made in significant volumes should the measures be allowed to lapse.
Po njegovih trditvah skladiščenje večtedenske proizvodnje biodizla za eno izvozno pošiljko ne bi bilo ekonomsko izvedljivo.
Due to lack of cooperation from the selected sampled producers mentioned in recital (20) above, it was not possible to carry out an analysis based on verified data supplied by US producers.
Komisija meni, da je treba to trditev zavrniti.
The Commission therefore made use of the following sources of information: the data provided by some US biodiesel producers at initiation stage in reply to the questionnaire for the purpose of the sampling, Eurostat, the request for an expiry review, subsequent submissions from the applicant, the US National Biodiesel Board (NBB), the websites of the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) and the US Department of Energy, and the US International Trade Commission.
Industrija biodizla v ZDA lahko izvaža in proizvajalci ZDA so pred uvedbo veljavnih ukrepov izvažali znatne količine biodizla na trg Unije, in sicer do 1137000 ton v obdobju preiskave v prvotni preiskavi (od 1. aprila 2007 do 31. marca 2008).
On the basis of data collected from the EIA, the US biodiesel producers' capacity during the RIP was 7128000 tonnes.
To kaže, da obstajajo proizvajalci ZDA z zadostno proizvodno zmogljivostjo za izvoz.
This volume is very close to the volume provided by the NBB based on the information submitted by its members to Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), that is 6963000 tonnes.
Poleg tega bodo proizvajalci ZDA brez zadostne posamezne proizvodne zmogljivosti za izvoz v Unijo še naprej oskrbovali domači trg, trgovci pa lahko združijo proizvodnjo več obratov in jo izvažajo.
The US actual production of biodiesel during the RIP was 4450000 tonnes (EIA's data), which corresponds to a capacity utilisation of 62,4 % and a spare capacity of 37,6 %, that is 2678000 tonnes.
Trg Unije je zelo privlačen, saj je največji trg na svetu, poleg tega pa obstajajo pomembne spodbude Unije in nacionalne spodbude za potrošnjo biodizla.
This spare capacity is likely to be used to supply the Union market should measures be allowed to lapse.
Raven cen v Uniji, ki so višje kot na trgih tretjih držav, bi spodbudila proizvajalce ZDA k izvozu v Unijo in ne na trge tretjih držav.
Indeed, the US producers can easily increase their production and export it to the EU with the economic benefit of the increase in capacity utilisation ratio and reduction of unit cost of production.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da je ob upoštevanju verjetnosti nadaljevanja in ponovitve subvencioniranja skupaj z znatno neizkoriščeno zmogljivostjo industrije biodizla ZDA in privlačnostjo trga Unije verjetno, da bodo proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA nadaljevali z izvozom biodizla po subvencioniranih cenah in v velikih količinah na trg Unije, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
The release in the Union market of the US spare capacity would have a significant impact as it amounts to nearly 22 % of the Union consumption during the RIP.
Glede na navedeno in v skladu s členom 18(3) osnovne uredbe je Komisija sklenila, da obstaja verjetnost nadaljevanja in ponovitve subvencioniranja, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
First, the NBB pointed out that the US real production capacity would be lower than that considered by the Commission.
Opredelitev pojmov industrija Unije in proizvodnja Unije
Indeed, according to the NBB, a number of plants in the US, albeit registered, are actually inactive and therefore the real production capacity is 5409000 tonnes.
Podobni izdelek je v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom proizvajalo približno 200 proizvajalcev v Uniji.
The NBB also reported a higher production of biodiesel during the RIP, amounting to 5084000 tonnes.
Ti predstavljajo „industrijo Unije“ v smislu člena 9(1) osnovne uredbe.
As a consequence, the NBB claimed that the capacity utilisation is around 94 % and that there is little spare capacity to be used to export to the EU if measures were repealed.
Celotna proizvodnja v Uniji je bila v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom določena na skoraj 11600000 ton.
However, this claim cannot be accepted.
Komisija je ta podatek izračunala na podlagi vseh razpoložljivih informacij o industriji Unije, kot so informacije iz zahtevka za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa in podatki, ki so jih proizvajalci Unije navedli med preiskavo.
The data provided by the NBB cannot be reconciled with officially available data.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 12 do 14, je bilo v vzorec izbranih sedem proizvajalcev Unije, ki so predstavljali približno 30 % celotne proizvodnje podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
Biodiesel producers in the USA are obliged to submit to EIA on a monthly basis a form (EIA-22M 'Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey) indicating, among other data, the annual production capacity and their operating statuses, such as active, temporarily inactive or permanently ceased operations.
Potrošnja Unije
Since January 2013, the registered capacity varied slightly from one month to another but was overall rather stable.
Komisija je izračunala potrošnjo Unije na podlagi obsega celotne proizvodnje v Uniji, od katerega je odštela izvoz in mu prištela uvoz iz tretjih držav.
In addition, biodiesel producers in the USA are obliged to submit to EPA on an annual basis, among other information, the type, or types, of renewable fuel expected to be produced or imported and the existing and planned production capacity.
Podatki o obsegu uvoza in izvoza so temeljili na podatkih Eurostata.
The registered capacity that US biodiesel producers have declared is thus updated regularly and is therefore considered as an accurate source.
Potrošnja Unije se je gibala na naslednji način:
Even if the registered capacity is currently unused or idle, it must be taken into account for the calculation of the spare capacity which is available to increase production and exports.
Preglednica 1
Moreover, the production capacity values provided by the NBB already excluded the permanent shuttered capacity, as acknowledged in their submission.
Vir: Podatki industrije Unije, Eurostat.
Plants which are not permanently shuttered can by definition start production again, if future market conditions change (such as the opening up of the Union market).
OPP
The ‘likelihood-of-recurrence’ test in an expiry review requires a forward looking approach about what could happen in the future if measures were allowed to lapse, and not a simple stock-taking of the situation during the RIP.
Celotna potrošnja Unije (v metričnih tonah)
Following final disclosure, the NBB maintained that the production capacity should not take into account idle capacity even if this capacity was not notified to the US authorities as dismantled or permanently shuttered.
Indeks
However, following the EIA instructions quoted by NBB, the ‘annual production capacity [is] the quantity of biodiesel that a plant can produce in a calendar year, assuming normal downtime for maintenance.
Glede na navedeno se je potrošnja biodizla Unije v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 11 %.
It includes the capacity of idle plant until the plant is dismantled or abandoned’ [26].
Uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz ZDA
It is clear from the above that EIA takes into account in the total production capacity in the USA all possible plants which potentially can become active again.
Obseg in tržni delež uvoza iz zadevne države
Consequently, contrary to what NBB argues, plants which are not dismantled or permanently shuttered can by definition start production again, if future conditions change.
Preglednica 2
Therefore this idle capacity has to be considered as part of the total US biodiesel production capacity.
Obseg uvoza in tržni delež
The Commission considers therefore that the current registered capacity constitutes an accurate basis for calculating the total US production capacity and spare capacity and rejects the NBB claim.
Vir: Eurostat.
Second, the NBB also claimed that the US biodiesel industry is not designed to operate as an exporting industry, as most US biodiesel facilities produce less than 15000000 gallons (55000 metric tonnes) per year.
ZDA (v metričnih tonah)
Allegedly, it would not be economically feasible to stock several weeks of biodiesel production for a single export shipment.
Tržni delež
The Commission considers that this claim must be rejected.
Cene in nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen
The US biodiesel industry can export and before imposition of the measures in force, the US producers were exporting significant quantities of biodiesel to the Union market, up to 1137000 tonnes during the investigation period of the initial investigation (1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008).
Domače cene ZDA
This shows that there are US producers with sufficient production capacity to be able to export.
Ker proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA niso sodelovali, so službe Komisije za izračun domače prodajne cene biodizla v ZDA v OPP uporabile tri vire informacij: (i) odgovore na vprašalnik, ki je bil poslan v začetni fazi za namen vzorčenja, ki so ga številni proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA predložili v začetni fazi; (ii) informacije, ki jih je predložil nacionalni odbor za biodizel na podlagi informacij, ki jih je zbral tržni nadzornik Jacobsen in (iii) informacije, ki jih je predložil vložnik na podlagi informacij, ki jih je zbrala družba Oil Price Information Service (OPIS).
In addition, the US producers without sufficient individual production capacity for a shipment to the Union will continue serving the domestic market and traders can put together the output of several plants and export it.
Podatki iz teh treh virov vsebujejo različne ravni cen trgovanja in pogoje Incoterms.
Moreover, the Union market is very attractive as it is the biggest in the world and there are significant Union and national incentives for biodiesel consumption.
Vendar so vrednosti zelo podobne.
Last but not least, the level of prices in the Union, which are higher than in other third markets, would incentivise the US producers to export to the Union rather than to other third markets.
Povprečna vrednost iz teh treh virov znaša 1196,93 USD na metrično tono.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that in view of the likelihood of continuation and recurrence of subsidisation, combined with the significant spare capacity of the US biodiesel industry and the attractiveness of the Union market, it is likely that US biodiesel producers will resume exporting biodiesel at subsidised prices to the Union market at large volumes, if measures are allowed to lapse.
V skladu s povprečnim menjalnim tečajem v OPP (1 EUR = 1,356 USD) ta znesek ustreza domači prodajni ceni ZDA v višini 883 EUR na metrično tono [27].
In view of the above, in accordance with Article 18(3) of the basic Regulation, the Commission concludes that there is a likelihood of continuation and recurrence of subsidisation should the measures in force be allowed to lapse.
Izvozne cene ZDA in nelojalno nižanje cen
INJURY
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je bil uvoz biodizla iz ZDA v Unijo zanemarljiv in ni bil smiselna osnova za izračun nelojalnega nižanja cen.
The like product was manufactured by around 200 producers in the Union during the review investigation period.
Komisija je proučila zbirko podatkov Mednarodne komisije ZDA za trgovino in pridobila podatke o količinah in vrednostih izvoza biodizla pod kodo HTS 382600 za OPP.
They constitute the ‘Union industry’ within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation.
Izvozna količina (v metričnih tonah) je za vse države (tudi za EU) znašala 567018 ton.
The total Union production during the review investigation period was established at almost 11600000 tonnes.
Povprečna vrednost na metrično tono je v OPP znašala 753,34 EUR.
The Commission established the figure on the basis of all the available information concerning the Union industry, such as information provided in the request for an expiry review and data collected from Union producers during the investigation.
Preglednica 3
As indicated in recitals (12)-(14) above, seven Union producers were selected in the sample representing almost 30 % of the total Union production of the like product.
Obseg izvoza ZDA in izvozne cene v OPP
Union consumption
Namembne države
The Commission established the Union consumption on the basis of the volume of the total Union production minus exports, plus imports from third countries.
Izvozne količine (v metričnih tonah)
Import and export volumes were extracted from Eurostat data.
% izvoza v vse države
Union consumption developed as follows:

Based on the above the Union consumption of biodiesel increased by 11 % over the period considered.
V OPP je povprečna izvozna cena biodizla ZDA za vse namembne kraje znašala 1021,52 USD (753,34 EUR) na metrično tono FAS (franko ob ladijski bok).
Imports of the product concerned from the USA
Za izračun verjetne in razumne izvozne cene Unije bi bilo treba tej ceni prišteti stroške prevoza in zavarovanja ter carino v višini 6,5 % in stroške po uvozu.
Volume and market share of the imports from the country concerned
Po podatkih, pridobljenih med preiskavo, bi to znašalo približno 100 EUR na metrično tono.
Imports of biodiesel from the USA to the Union have, according to Eurostat data, dropped to almost zero since the imposition of measures in 2009.
Na podlagi tega se lahko sprejme sklep, da bi ocenjena izvozna cena v Unijo nelojalno nižala cene Unije, saj je povprečna domača cena biodizla, ki so ga v OPP prodajali proizvajalci Unije, znašala 905 EUR na metrično tono (glej tabelo 8).
Imports into the Union from the country concerned and market share have developed as follows:
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je trdil, da Komisija ni pojasnila, zakaj je pri ugotavljanju izvozne cene v Unijo uporabila povprečne izvozne cene ZDA v tretje države, namesto da bi uporabila višjo izvozno ceno v Kanado.
Table 2
Trdi tudi, da Komisija ni pojasnila podlage za prilagoditev ocenjene izvozne cene za Unijo v višini 100 EUR in da ni upoštevala stroškov po uvozu ter domnevnih razlik v ceni zaradi različnih surovin.
Import volume and market share
Posledično je analiza nelojalnega nižanja cen pomanjkljiva.
Source: Eurostat
Kot je opisano, je preiskava pokazala, da se izvozne cene ZDA močno razlikujejo glede na namembni kraj.
USA (metric tonnes)
Zato je Komisija za ugotavljanje razumne in verjetne izvozne cene za Unijo navedeno ceno določila na podlagi povprečja za vse namembne kraje za izvoz.
Market share
Uporaba najvišje izvozne cene, kot je zahteval nacionalni odbor za biodizel, ne bi bila primerna metoda, tako kot bi bilo neprimerno uporabiti najnižjo izvozno ceno.
Prices and price undercutting
Pri prilagoditvi v višini 100 EUR so podlago za izračune Komisije predstavljale informacije, ki jih je predložil prav nacionalni odbor za biodizel.
US domestic prices
Natančneje, Komisija je uporabila znesek za carino in prevozne stroške, kot ga je predložil nacionalni odbor za biodizel (v višini približno 94 EUR), in ga zaokrožila navzgor na 100 EUR, s čimer je upoštevala tudi znesek za stroške po uvozu.
In the absence of cooperation from the US biodiesel producers, the Commission services made use of three sources of information for establishing the domestic sales price of biodiesel in the US during the RIP: (i) the replies to the questionnaire sent out at initiation stage for the purpose of sampling, submitted by a number of US biodiesel producers at initiation stage; (ii) information provided by the NBB based on information gathered by a market surveyor named ‘Jacobsen’; and (iii) information provided by the applicant based on information gathered by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS).
Znesek stroškov po uvozu, kot ga navaja nacionalni odbor za biodizel (2 % CIF franko meja ali 16,69 EUR), se ni upošteval, saj ni bil utemeljen.
The data from these three sources include different levels of trade prices and incoterm conditions.
V zvezi z domnevnimi razlikami v ceni zaradi različnih surovin Komisija opozarja, da je bila v prvotni preiskavi odobrena prilagoditev na podlagi primerjave preverjenih podatkov proizvajalcev ZDA in proizvajalcev Unije.
However, the values are very close to each other.
Ker proizvajalci ZDA v sedanjem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa niso sodelovali, Komisija ni mogla ugotoviti, da je treba odobriti prilagoditev.
The average of the values from these three sources is USD 1196,93 per metric tonne.
Tudi če bi bilo treba odobriti prilagoditev, Komisija ne bi mogla ugotoviti ravni takšne prilagoditve.
At the euro/dollar average exchange rate during the RIP (EUR 1 = USD 1,356), this amount corresponds to a US domestic sales price of EUR 883 per metric tonne [27].
Prevladujoče okoliščine iz prvotne preiskave so se spremenile, saj zlasti mešanica surovin, ki se uporablja v EU in ZDA za proizvodnjo biodizla, ni več enaka.
US export prices and undercutting
V vsakem primeru je nacionalni odbor za biodizel zahteval prilagoditev v višini 10 %, vendar ni utemeljil te ravni prilagoditve.
During the review investigation period the imports of biodiesel to the Union from the USA were negligible and could not provide a meaningful basis for calculating undercutting.
Iz navedenega premisleka sledi, da je treba zavrniti trditev nacionalnega odbora za biodizel, da je analiza nelojalnega nižanja cen pomanjkljiva.
An analysis was therefore made between the average price of biodiesel produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry and the average export price of biodiesel to third countries from the USA in the RIP.
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav
The Commission consulted the database of the United States International Trade Commission and extracted the quantities and values of the export of biodiesel under the HTS code 382600 for the RIP.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
The export quantities (in metric tonnes) to all countries (EU included) amount to 567018 tonnes.
Preglednica 4
The average value per metric tonne during the RIP was EUR 753,34.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav

Obseg uvoza biodizla iz tretjih držav razen ZDA se je v obravnavanem obdobju znatno zmanjšal, podobno pa se je v skladu s tem zmanjšal tudi tržni delež.
Total Gibraltar
Zmanjšanje obsega uvoza iz leta 2013 sovpada z uvedbo protidampinških ukrepov za uvoz biodizla iz Indonezije in Argentine.
Total Canada
Tudi povprečna cena se je v istem obdobju znižala za 15 %.
Total Australia
Gibanje cen je podobno gibanju cen industrije Unije na trgu Unije (glej preglednico 8) in je večinoma posledica znižanja cen surovin.
Total Malaysia
Čeprav so ravni cen za približno 13 % nižje od povprečne cene Unije, je tržni delež uvoza majhen in nima znatnega učinka na industrijo Unije.
During the RIP the average export price of the US biodiesel to all destinations was USD 1021,52 (EUR 753,34) per metric tonne FAS (free alongside ship).
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
In order to calculate a likely and reasonable Union export price it would be necessary to add costs for transport and insurance as well a customs duty of 6,5 % and post-importation costs to this price.
Splošne opombe
According to data obtained during the investigation, this would amount to approximately EUR 100 per metric tonne.
V skladu s členom 8(4) osnovne uredbe so bili proučeni vsi pomembni ekonomski kazalniki, ki so vplivali na položaj industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
It follows that an estimated export price to the Union would be undercutting the Union prices, as the average domestic price of biodiesel sold by the Union producers during the RIP was EUR 905 per metric tonne (see table 8 below).
Komisija je za določitev škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
The US National Biodiesel Board (NBB) claimed that the Commission failed to explain why it used the average US export prices to third countries when establishing a likely Union export price rather than using the higher export price to Canada.
Komisija je makroekonomske kazalnike ocenila na podlagi podatkov, povezanih z vsemi proizvajalci Unije, mikroekonomske kazalnike pa na podlagi preverjenih podatkov, ki jih je prejela od vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
It also contends that the Commission failed to explain the basis for the EUR 100 adjustment to the estimated export price to the Union and did not take into account post-importation costs as well as alleged price differences due to different feedstock.
Za oba sklopa podatkov je bilo ugotovljeno, da sta reprezentativna za gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
As a result, the undercutting analysis is flawed
Makroekonomski kazalniki so proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje, tržni delež, rast, zaposlenost, produktivnost, višina subvencijske stopnje in okrevanje od preteklega subvencioniranja.
The investigation demonstrated, as described above, that US export prices vary significantly depending on destination.
Mikroekonomski kazalniki so povprečne cene na enoto, stroški na enoto, stroški dela, zaloge, dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala.
Therefore, in order to establish a reasonable and likely export price to the Union, the Commission established that price on the basis of an average to all export destinations.
Makroekonomski kazalniki
To simply use the highest export price, as claimed by NBB, would not have been an appropriate method in the same way as using the lowest export price would have been inappropriate.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
With regard to the EUR 100 adjustment, the basis for the Commission's calculations was information provided by NBB itself.
Celotna proizvodnja Unije, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibale na naslednji način:
More specifically, the Commission used the amount for customs duties and for transport costs as provided by NBB (around EUR 94) and rounded it up to EUR 100, which would also take into account an amount for post-importation costs.
Preglednica 5
The amount for post-importation costs as claimed by NBB (2 % of CIF frontier value or EUR 16,69) was disregarded since this amount was not substantiated.
Vir: Podatki, ki jih je predložil Evropski odbor za biodizel (vložnik).
As far as the alleged price difference due to different feedstock is concerned, the Commission recalls that in the original investigation an adjustment was granted on the basis of a comparison of verified data from US producers and Union producers.
Obseg proizvodnje (v metričnih tonah)
In the absence of cooperation from the US producers in the present expiry review, the Commission could, firstly not establish that an adjustment should be granted.
Proizvodna zmogljivost (v metričnih tonah)
Secondly, even if an adjustment were to be granted, the Commission could not establish the level of such an adjustment.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
The circumstances prevailing at the time of the original investigation have changed, in particular the mix of the feedstock used both in the EU and in the USA to produce biodiesel is no longer the same.
Proizvodna zmogljivost je v obravnavanem obdobju ostala razmeroma stabilna (+ 4 %), vendar se je obseg proizvodnje znatno povečal med letom 2012 in koncem obdobja preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
