The European Commission (‘the Commission’), by Decision 2008/899/EC [3] accepted the price undertakings offered by seven Chinese exporting producers or group of exporting producers together with the China Chamber of Commerce of Metals, Minerals & Chemicals Importers & Exporters.
Evropska komisija („Komisija“) je s Sklepom 2008/899/ES [3] sprejela cenovne zaveze, ki jih je ponudilo sedem kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ali skupina proizvajalcev izvoznikov, skupaj z Gospodarsko zbornico uvoznikov in izvoznikov kovin, rudnin in kemikalij Kitajske.
The Commission, by Decision 2012/501/EU [4], subsequently withdrew the undertaking offered by one exporting producer, i.e. Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry Co.
Komisija je s Sklepom 2012/501/EU [4] preklicala zavezo, ki jo je ponudil en proizvajalec izvoznik, tj. družba Laiwu Taihe Biochemistry Co.

By Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/82 [5] the Commission, following an expiry review and a partial interim review (‘previous investigations’) pursuant to Article 11(2) and (3) of the basic Regulation respectively, maintained the definitive measures and amended their level.
Komisija je z Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) 2015/82 [5] po pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa in delnem vmesnem pregledu (prejšnje preiskave) v skladu s členom 11(2) in (3) osnovne uredbe ohranila dokončne ukrepe in spremenila njihovo raven.
The definitive anti-dumping duties in force on imports of citric acid originating in the PRC range between 15,3 % and 42,7 % (‘the measures in force’).
Dokončne protidampinške dajatve, ki veljajo za uvoz citronske kisline s poreklom iz LRK, znašajo med 15,3 % in 42,7 % („veljavni ukrepi“).
The product concerned is as defined in the original investigation, citric acid (including trisodium citrate dihydrate), originating in the PRC, currently falling within CN codes 29181400 and ex29181500 (‘the product concerned’).
Zadevni izdelek je, kot je opredeljeno v prvotni preiskavi, citronska kislina (vključno z trinatrijevim citrat dihidratom), s poreklom iz LRK, ki trenutno spada pod oznaki KN 29181400 in ex29181500 („zadevni izdelek“).
The product under investigation is the same as that defined in the previous recital, but consigned from Malaysia, whether declared as originating in Malaysia or not, currently falling within the same CN codes as the product concerned (‘the product under investigation’).
Izdelek v preiskavi je enak izdelku, opredeljenemu v prejšnji uvodni izjavi, le da je poslan iz Malezije, ne glede na to, ali je deklariran kot izdelek s poreklom iz Malezije ali ne, in se trenutno uvršča pod iste oznake KN kot zadevni izdelek („izdelek v preiskavi“).
The TARIC codes for the product under investigation are 2918140010 and 2918150011.
Oznaki TARIC za izdelek v preiskavi sta 2918140010 in 2918150011.
The investigation showed that citric acid exported from the PRC to the Union and citric acid consigned from Malaysia to the Union have the same basic physical and technical characteristics and have the same uses, and are therefore to be considered as like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava je pokazala, da imata citronska kislina, izvožena iz LRK v Unijo, in citronska kislina, poslana v Unijo iz Malezije, enake osnovne fizične in tehnične značilnosti ter enake uporabe, zato se ju šteje za podobna izdelka v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
Grounds for the initiation
Utemeljitev za začetek preiskave
The Commission had at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence that the measures in force are being circumvented by imports of the product under investigation from Malaysia.
Komisija je imela na voljo dovolj dokazov prima facie, da se uvoz izdelkov v preiskavi iz Malezije izogiba veljavnim ukrepom.
The information at the Commission's disposal showed that a significant change in the pattern of trade involving exports from the People's Republic of China and Malaysia to the Union has taken place following the imposition of measures on the product concerned, as outlined in recitals 1 to 4 above, without sufficient due cause or economic justification for such a change other than the imposition of the duty.
Iz informacij, ki jih ima Komisija na voljo, je razvidno, da se je po uvedbi ukrepov za zadevni izdelek znatno spremenil vzorec trgovanja, ki vključuje izvoz iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Malezije v Unijo, kot je določeno v uvodnih izjavah 1 do 4, ter da za tako spremembo razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali sprememba ni gospodarsko upravičena.
Furthermore, the Commission had at its disposal sufficient prima facie evidence that the remedial effects of the measures in force are being undermined both in terms of quantity and price.
Poleg tega je imela Komisija na voljo dovolj dokazov prima facie, da so popravni učinki veljavnih ukrepov ogroženi, tako v smislu količine kot cene.
Finally, the Commission had sufficient prima facie evidence that the prices of the product under investigation are dumped in relation to the normal value previously established for the product concerned.
Nazadnje ima Komisija na voljo zadostne dokaze prima facie, da so cene izdelka v preiskavi dampinške v primerjavi z normalno vrednostjo, ki je bila predhodno določena za zadevni izdelek.
Having determined, after having informed the Member States, that sufficient prima facie evidence existed for the initiation of an investigation, on 1 May 2015 the Commission initiated, on its own initiative, an investigation by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/706 [6] (the ‘initiating Regulation’) pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je, potem ko je obvestila države članice in ugotovila, da obstaja dovolj dokazov prima facie za začetek preiskave, 1. maja 2015 na lastno pobudo začela preiskavo z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2015/706 [6] (uredba o začetku preiskave) v skladu s členom 13(3) in členom 14(5) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission, by the initiating Regulation, also directed the customs authorities to register imports of citric acid consigned from Malaysia.
Komisija je z uredbo o začetku preiskave carinskim organom naložila, naj registrirajo uvoz citronske kisline, poslane iz Malezije.
The Commission officially advised the authorities of the PRC, Malaysia, the known exporting producers in those countries, the importers in the Union known to be concerned and the Union industry of the initiation of the investigation.
Komisija je o začetku preiskave uradno obvestila pristojne organe LRK, Malezije, znane proizvajalce izvoznike v navedenih državah, uvoznike v Uniji, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter industrijo Unije.
The Mission of the Republic of Malaysia to the European Union provided contact details of exporting producers in Malaysia.
Misija Republike Malezije v Evropski uniji je posredovala kontaktne podatke o proizvajalcih izvoznikih v Maleziji.
Exemption forms were sent to these exporting producers in Malaysia.
Tem proizvajalcem izvoznikom v Maleziji so bili poslani obrazci zahtevka za izvzetje.
Questionnaires were also sent to the known exporting producers in the PRC and unrelated importers in the Union.
Znanim proizvajalcem izvoznikom v LRK in nepovezanim uvoznikom v Uniji so bili poslani tudi vprašalniki.
Interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known in writing and to request a hearing with the Commission and/or the Hearing Officer within the time limit set in the initiating Regulation.
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da v roku iz uredbe o začetku preiskave pisno izrazijo svoja stališča in zahtevajo zaslišanje pri Komisiji in/ali pooblaščencu za zaslišanje.
All parties were informed that non-cooperation might lead to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation and to findings being based on the facts available.
Vse strani so bile obveščene, da se lahko v primeru nesodelovanja uporabi člen 18 osnovne uredbe in da lahko posledično ugotovitve temeljijo na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev.
One Malaysian company came forward claiming that it was not a producer but merely a user of citric acid and therefore it did not request an exemption.
Ena malezijska družba je zatrdila, da ni proizvajalka, ampak zgolj uporabnica citronske kisline in zatorej ni vložila zahtevka za izvzetje.
This company was informed that, should it have any related producing companies in Malaysia, they were also invited to reply to the exemption form.
To podjetje je bilo obveščeno, naj tudi njegova povezana proizvodna podjetja v Maleziji, če jih ima, izpolnijo zahtevek za izvzetje.
The Commission did not receive any reply to the exemption form from any Malaysian exporting producer.
Komisija od malezijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni prejela nobenega izpolnjenega zahtevka za izvzetje.
Six exporting producers in the PRC and four unrelated importers in the Union submitted replies to the questionnaire.
Odgovore na vprašalnik je predložilo šest proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz LRK in štirje nepovezani uvozniki v Uniji.
The investigation period covered the period from 1 January 2011 to 31 March 2015.
Za obdobje poročanja od 1. januarja 2014 do 31. marca 2015 so bili zbrani podrobnejši podatki za preučitev, ali so bili popravljalni učinki veljavnih ukrepov morda ogroženi v smislu cen in/ali količin, ter za ugotovitev, ali obstaja damping.
Data were collected for the investigation period to investigate, inter alia, the alleged change in the pattern of trade.
REZULTATI PREISKAVE
More detailed data were collected for the reporting period from 1 January 2014 to 31 March 2015 in order to examine the possible undermining of the remedial effect of the measures in force in terms of prices and/or quantities and existence of dumping.
Splošni premisleki
RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe se je obstoj izogibanja ukrepom ocenjeval z zaporedno analizo, v kateri se je ugotavljalo, ali je prišlo v vzorcu trgovanja med LRK, Malezijo in Unijo do spremembe;
General considerations
ali je do te spremembe prišlo zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katere razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali niso gospodarsko upravičeni;
In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the assessment of the existence of circumvention was made by analysing successively whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC, Malaysia and the Union;
ali so obstajali dokazi o škodi ali o tem, da so se popravljalni učinki dajatve spodkopavali s cenami in/ali količinami izdelka v preiskavi;
if this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty;
in ali so obstajali dokazi o dampingu v zvezi z normalnimi vrednostmi, predhodno določenimi v prvotni preiskavi, po potrebi v skladu z določbami člena 2 osnovne uredbe.
if there was evidence of injury or that the remedial effects of the duty were being undermined in terms of prices and/or quantities of the product under investigation;
Stopnja sodelovanja in določitev obsega trgovanja
and whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal values previously established in the original investigation, if necessary in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the basic Regulation.
Malezija
Degree of cooperation and determination of the trade volumes
Nobeden od izvoznikov, ki se nahajajo v Maleziji, ni sodeloval v trenutni preiskavi.
Malaysia
Zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja ugotovitve glede izvoza citronske kisline iz Malezije v Unijo temeljijo na dejstvih, razpoložljivih v skladu s členom 18(1) osnovne uredbe.
None of the exporters located in Malaysia cooperated in the present investigation.
V tem primeru so bili za določitev skupnega obsega uvoza iz Malezije v Unijo uporabljeni podatki Comext.
Given the lack of cooperation, findings concerning exports of citric acid from Malaysia to the Union were made on the basis of facts available in accordance with Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation.
Ljudska republika Kitajska
In this case, Comext data was used to determine overall import volumes from Malaysia to the Union.
Šest proizvajalcev/izvoznikov iz LRK, za katere prav tako veljajo zaveze, je predložilo izpolnjen vprašalnik.
PRC
Izvoz sodelujočih podjetij je v obdobju poročanja predstavljal 54 % celotnega kitajskega izvoza v Unijo in okrog 69 % kitajskega izvoza v Malezijo.
Six producers/exporters in the PRC, which were also subject to undertakings, submitted a questionnaire reply.
Zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja iz Malezije in le delnega sodelovanja iz LRK so se za določitev skupnega obsega uvoza iz LRK v Unijo uporabili podatki Comext.
The exports of the cooperating companies covered around 54 % of the total Chinese exports to the Union and around 69 % of the Chinese exports to Malaysia during the reporting period.
Ti so se navzkrižno primerjali z nacionalnimi statističnimi podatki Kitajske.
Due to lack of cooperation from Malaysia and only partial cooperation from the PRC, Comext data was used to determine total export volumes from the PRC to the Union.
Nacionalni statistični podatki Kitajske so se uporabili tudi za določitev celotnega izvoza iz LRK v Malezijo.
They were crosschecked with Chinese national statistics.
Statistični podatki so se navzkrižno preverili s podatki, ki jih je predložilo šest sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Chinese national statistics were also used for the determination of the total export volumes from the PRC to Malaysia.
Podatki, ki so jih predložila sodelujoča podjetja, so pokazali podobne trende, kot so trendi, ugotovljeni na podlagi podatkov Comext na eni strani in trendi, ki izhajajo iz nacionalnih statističnih podatkov Kitajske, na drugi strani.
The statistical data were counter-checked with the data submitted by the six cooperating exporting producers.
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja
The data submitted by the cooperating companies showed similar trends than the trends established in Comext on the one hand and in the Chinese national statistics on the other hand.
Uvoz citronske kisline v Unijo
Imports of citric acid into the Union
To je treba obravnavati v povezavi z relativnim povečanjem uvoza iz Malezije v istem obdobju, tj. s 792 ton v letu 2011 na 6837 ton v obdobju poročanja, torej gre za več kot 8-kratno povečanje.
During the investigation period, imports of the product concerned from the PRC to the Union first increased from 2011 to 2012 by 14 %.
Skupno povečanje obsega uvoza iz Malezije v obdobju med letom 2011 in koncem obdobja poročanja znaša več kot 6000 ton.
Subsequently in 2013, they dropped below the level of 2011 and then increased again in 2014 till the end of the reporting period.
V razpredelnici 1 so prikazane količine uvoza citronske kisline iz LRK [7] in Malezije v Unijo od 1. januarja 2011 do konca obdobja poročanja.
Overall, there was an increase of 5 % during the investigation period, from 201345 tonnes in 2011, to 210516 tonnes during the reporting period.
Razpredelnica 1
This has to be seen in relation to the relative increase of imports from Malaysia during the same period, i.e. from 792 tonnes in 2011 to 6837 tonnes during the reporting period, by more than eight times.
Obseg uvoza iz LRK in Malezije v Unijo
The total increase in volume of imports from Malaysia between 2011 and the end of the reporting period corresponded to more than 6000 tonnes.

To povečanje ustreza približno 6000 tonam in skoraj natančno ustreza povečanju količin uvoza iz Malezije v Unijo, kot je prikazano v razpredelnici 1.
Malaysia (tonnes)
Ta trend povečanja je bil ugotovljen tudi pri šestih sodelujočih kitajskih proizvajalcih izvoznikih.
Exports from the PRC to Malaysia
Razpredelnica 2
Likewise, as shown in table 2 below, there was a substantial relative increase of exports of citric acid from the PRC to Malaysia during the investigation period, i.e. from of 7990 tonnes in 2011 to 13763 tonnes in the reporting period, which is an increase of more than 70 %.
Obseg uvoza iz LRK v Malezijo
This increase corresponded to roughly 6000 tons and thus corresponded almost exactly to the increase of import volumes from Malaysia to the Union as shown in table 1.

Narava izogibanja ukrepom
Exports to Malaysia by cooperating Chinese exporting producers
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe mora do spremembe vzorca trgovanja priti zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero ni zadostnega vzroka ali ni gospodarsko upravičena, z izjemo uvedbe dajatve.
Conclusion on the change in the pattern of trade
Praksa, postopek ali dejavnost med drugim vključuje pošiljanje izdelka, za katerega veljajo ukrepi, prek tretjih držav.
The increase in volumes, of both exports from Malaysia to the Union and of exports from the PRC to Malaysia has taken place after imposition of the original measures.
Obseg proizvodnje v Maleziji
This constitutes a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC and Malaysia on the one hand, and Malaysia and the Union, on the other hand.
Ker nobeno podjetje iz Malezije ni sodelovalo, ni bilo mogoče pridobiti nobenih informacij o možnih ravneh dejanske proizvodnje izdelka v preiskavi v Maleziji.
While it is noted that in absolute terms the volume of imports from Malaysia to the Union was still relatively low during the IP, the trend is sharply increasing.
Pretovarjanje
Nature of the circumvention practise
Ob začetku preiskave je imela Komisija dokaze, da so imeli nekateri kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki poslovne stike z uvozniki v Uniji, kar nakazuje možnost izogibanja plačilu dajatev s pretovarjanjem.
Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation requires that the change in the pattern of trade stem from a practice, process or work for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty.
Poleg tega, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 29 zgoraj, ni bilo nobenega dokaza o kakršni koli dejanski proizvodnji v Maleziji, prav tako nobeno izmed malezijskih podjetij ni sodelovalo.
The practice, process or work includes, inter alia, the consignment of the product subject to measures via third countries.
Poleg tega, kakor se ugotavlja v uvodnih izjavah 22 do 26 zgoraj, je prišlo do očitne spremembe v vzorcu trgovanja, ki se kaže kot istočasna porast izvoza iz LRK v Malezijo in uvoza iz Malezije v Unijo, skoraj v enakih količinah.
Production volume in Malaysia
Zato je Komisija prišla do sklepa, da se citronska kislina s poreklom iz Kitajske prek Malezije pretovarja v Unijo.
As there was no cooperation from any company in Malaysia, no information could be obtained on the possible levels of the genuine production of the product under investigation in Malaysia.
Nezadosten vzrok ali gospodarska upravičenost, z izjemo uvedbe protidampinške dajatve
Transhipment
S preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da pretovarjanje ni gospodarsko upravičeno niti ni zanj nobenega vzroka, razen izogibanja veljavnim ukrepom, ki veljajo za zadevni izdelek.
At the initiation of this investigation the Commission had evidence that some Chinese exporting producers had business contacts with importers in the Union suggesting the possibility for avoidance of duties through transhipment.
Razen dajatve ni bilo nikakršnih elementov, ki bi se lahko šteli za nadomestilo za stroške pretovarjanja, še zlasti glede prevoza in ponovnega natovarjanja citronske kisline s poreklom iz LRK prek Malezije.
In addition, as mentioned in recital 29 above, there was no evidence of the existence of any genuine production in Malaysia and none of the companies in Malaysia cooperated.
Spodkopavanje popravljalnega učinka protidampinške dajatve
Moreover, as established in recitals 22 to 26 above, there was a clear change in the pattern of trade, manifested by a simultaneous surge in exports from the PRC to Malaysia and imports from Malaysia to the Union, in almost identical quantities.
Za oceno, ali je uvožena citronska kislina v smislu količine in cen ogrozila popravne učinke veljavnih ukrepov, so bili podatki Comext uporabljeni kot najboljši podatki, ki so na voljo glede količin in cen uvoza iz Malezije.
It is therefore concluded that there is transhipment of Chinese-origin citric acid to the Union via Malaysia.
Tako določene cene so se primerjale s stopnjo odprave škode, ki je bila določena za proizvajalce Unije v prejšnjih preiskavah [9].
Insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the anti-dumping duty
V absolutnem smislu je bil obseg uvoza iz Malezije v Unijo v obdobju preiskave sicer še vedno razmeroma nizek, se pa hitro povečuje.
The investigation did not bring to light any due cause or economic justification for the transhipment other than the avoidance of the measures in force on the product concerned.
Zato se je porast uvoza iz Malezije v Unijo s 792 ton leta 2011 na 6837 ton v obdobju poročanja štela za precejšnjo v smislu relativnega obsega.
No elements were found, other than the duty, which could be considered as a compensation for the costs of transhipment, in particular regarding transport and reloading, of citric acid originating in the PRC via Malaysia.
Opravljena je bila primerjava med stopnjo odprave škode, kot je bila določena v prejšnjih preiskavah, in povprečno izvozno ceno, določeno na podlagi podatkov Comext v tej preiskavi za Malezijo in prilagojeno stroškom po uvozu.
Undermining the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty
Zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja so bili stroški po uvozu prav tako določeni na podlagi podatkov v prejšnjih preiskavah.
To assess whether the imported citric acid had, in terms of quantities and prices, undermined the remedial effects of the measures in force, Comext data was used as the best data available concerning quantities and prices of imports from Malaysia.
Primerjava je za Malezijo pokazala precejšnje nelojalno nižanje cen, okrog 30–40 %.
The prices so determined were compared to the injury elimination level established for Union producers in the previous investigations [9].
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da je popravljalni učinek veljavnih ukrepov oslabljen v smislu količin in cen.
While it is noted that in absolute terms the volume of imports from Malaysia to the Union was still relatively low during the IP, their trend is sharply increasing.
Dokazi o dampingu
Therefore, the upsurge of imports from Malaysia to the Union from 792 tonnes in 2011 to 6837 tonnes in the RP was considered to be significant in terms of relative volume.
Na koncu je bilo v skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe preučeno, ali obstajajo dokazi o dampingu v zvezi z normalno vrednostjo, določeno v prejšnjih preiskavah.
The comparison was made between the injury elimination level as established in the previous investigations and the average export price determined on the basis of Comext data in this investigation for Malaysia and adjusted for post-importation costs.
V prejšnjih preiskavah je bila normalna vrednost za LRK določena na podlagi cen v Kanadi, za katero je bilo v navedenih preiskavah ugotovljeno, da je ustrezna primerljiva država s tržnim gospodarstvom.
