In addition, the Commission specifically informed the complainants, other known Union producers, association of the Union producers, the exporting producer and the authorities of the People's Republic of China, known unrelated importers, suppliers and users, about the initiation of the investigation and invited them to participate.
Poleg tega je o začetku preiskave posebej obvestila pritožnike, druge znane proizvajalce Unije, združenje proizvajalcev Unije, proizvajalca izvoznika in organe Ljudske republike Kitajske, znane nepovezane uvoznike, dobavitelje in uporabnike ter jih povabila k sodelovanju.
ANALOGUE COUNTRY PRODUCERS
PROIZVAJALCI IZ PRIMERLJIVE DRŽAVE
The Commission also informed producers in Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile and India about the initiation and invited them to participate.
Komisija je o začetku preiskave obvestila tudi proizvajalce v Argentini, Avstraliji, Braziliji, Čilu in Indiji ter jih povabila k sodelovanju.
In the Notice of Initiation, the Commission informed interested parties that it had envisaged Argentina as a third market economy country (‘analogue country’) within the meaning of Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.
V obvestilu o začetku je Komisija zainteresirane strani obvestila, da namerava uporabiti Argentino kot tretjo državo s tržnim gospodarstvom („primerljiva država“) v smislu člena 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission selected the sample on the basis of the highest sales volumes in the Union, while ensuring that both producing Member States, Italy and Spain, were represented in the sample.
Komisija je vzorec izbrala na podlagi največjega obsega prodaje v Uniji, hkrati pa je zagotovila, da sta v vzorcu predstavljeni obe državi članici proizvajalki, tj. Italija in Španija.
The Commission relied on all the available information concerning the Union industry, such as the complaint, information received from a National Association of Industrial Distillers and Spirits in Italy (Assodistil) and other known Union producers participating in the standing exercise under Article 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija se je oprla na vse razpoložljive informacije o industriji Unije, kot so pritožba, informacije, ki jih je prejela od italijanskega nacionalnega združenja industrijskih destilarn in žganih pijač (Assodistil) ter od drugih znanih proizvajalcev Unije, ki sodelujejo pri preverjanju reprezentativnosti v skladu s členom 5(4) osnovne uredbe.
The provisional sample consisted of three Union producers.
Začasni vzorec je vključeval tri proizvajalce Unije.
The sampled Union producers accounted for around 56 % of the total Union production of the like product.
Vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije so predstavljali približno 56 % celotne proizvodnje podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
One Union producer, not included in the provisional sample, claimed that the sample did not sufficiently represent the situation of smaller Union producers.
Eden od proizvajalcev Unije, ki ni bil vključen v začasni vzorec, je trdil, da vzorec ni dovolj dobro predstavljal položaja manjših proizvajalcev Unije.
It argued that it should be included in the final sample because the injurious effect of dumped imports from Bioking had mainly impacted smaller companies.
Trdil je, da bi moral biti vključen v končni vzorec, ker je škodljivi dampinški uvoz družbe Bioking vplival zlasti na manjša podjetja.
The Italian National Association of Industrial Distillers and Spirits (Assodistil) made the same claim.
Italijansko nacionalno združenje industrijskih destilarn in žganih pijač (Assodistil) je trdilo isto.
Union producers of tartaric acid are all SMEs.
Proizvajalci vinske kisline v Uniji so vsi mala in srednja podjetja („MSP“).
Adding a smaller Union producer to the sample would not have fundamentally changed its representativity and would not have had any significant impact on the injury indicators assessed on the basis of data of the sample.
Z vključitvijo manjšega proizvajalca Unije v vzorec se reprezentativnost vzorca ne bi bistveno spremenila, prav tako pa vključitev ne bi imela občutnega vpliva na kazalnike škode, ocenjene na podlagi podatkov iz vzorca.
Macroeconomic indicators such as sales volume (as described in recital 109) are in any event based on the data of the Union industry as a whole, that is to say all Union producers, including the Union producer in question.
Makroekonomski kazalniki, kot so obseg prodaje (kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 109), v vsakem primeru temeljijo na podatkih industrije Unije kot celote, tj. vseh proizvajalcev Unije, vključno z zadevnim proizvajalcem Unije.
In addition, there were other non-sampled Union producers, all SMEs, which accounted for more significant volumes of sales, and which were willing to be part of the sample.
Poleg tega so obstajali drugi nevzorčeni proizvajalci Unije, ki so bili vsi MSP in so predstavljali znatnejše obsege prodaje ter bi bili pripravljeni biti vključeni v vzorec.
The Union producer in question did not advance any other reason for disregarding any of these producers and selecting its company instead.
Zadevni proizvajalec Unije ni navedel nobenega drugega razloga za neupoštevanje teh proizvajalcev in izbiro njegove družbe namesto njih.
No further comments were submitted.
Predložena ni bila nobena dodatna pripomba.
The provisional sample was thus confirmed.
Zato je bil začasni vzorec potrjen.
Ten companies provided the requested information.
Zahtevane informacije je predložilo deset družb.
However, only one of them was an unrelated importer/trader of the product concerned.
Vendar je bila le ena izmed njih nepovezan uvoznik/trgovec zadevnega izdelka.
The remaining nine companies were deemed to be users and received the respective questionnaires.
Preostalih devet družb se je štelo za uporabnike in so prejele ustrezne vprašalnike.
In view of the low number of cooperating unrelated importers/traders, the Commission decided that sampling was not necessary.
Zaradi majhnega števila sodelujočih nepovezanih uvoznikov/trgovcev je Komisija odločila, da vzorčenje ni potrebno.
MARKET ECONOMY TREATMENT (‘MET’) CLAIM FORMS
OBRAZCI ZAHTEVKA ZA TRŽNOGOSPODARSKO OBRAVNAVO („TGO“)
For the purposes of Article 2(7)(b) of the basic Regulation, the Commission sent an MET claim form to the exporting producer in the PRC as requested.
Komisija je za namene člena 2(7)(b) osnovne uredbe proizvajalcem izvoznikom v LRK na zahtevo poslala obrazce zahtevkov za TGO.
REPLIES TO THE QUESTIONNAIRE
IZPOLNJENI VPRAŠALNIKI
The Commission sent questionnaires to the three sampled Union producers, to the cooperating unrelated importer/trader, to nine users, to 13 suppliers, to the exporting producer in the PRC and to producers in five potential analogue countries, namely Argentina, Australia, Brazil, Chile and India.
Komisija je vprašalnike poslala trem vzorčenim proizvajalcem Unije, sodelujočemu nepovezanemu uvozniku/trgovcu, devetim uporabnikom, trinajstim dobaviteljem, proizvajalcu izvozniku v LRK in proizvajalcem v petih morebitnih primerljivih državah, tj. Argentini, Avstraliji, Braziliji, Čilu in Indiji.
In addition, potential producers in the USA were contacted by phone.
Poleg tega je bil z morebitnimi proizvajalci v ZDA navezan stik po telefonu.
These contacts, however, confirmed that there was no production of tartaric acid in the USA.
Ti stiki pa so potrdili, da v ZDA ni proizvodnje vinske kisline.
Questionnaire replies were received from the three sampled Union producers, one cooperating unrelated importer, eight users, four suppliers in the Union, the exporting producer in the PRC and one producer in Australia.
Komisija je izpolnjene vprašalnike prejela od vseh treh vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije, enega sodelujočega nepovezanega uvoznika, osem uporabnikov, štirih dobaviteljev v Uniji, proizvajalca izvoznika v LRK in enega proizvajalca v Avstraliji.

The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2011 to the end of the investigation period (‘the period considered’).
Proučitev trendov, pomembnih za oceno škode, je zajemala obdobje od 1. januarja 2011 do konca obdobja preiskave („obravnavano obdobje“).
The product concerned is tartaric acid originating in the People's Republic of China excluding D-(-)- tartaric acid with a negative optical rotation of at least 12,0 degrees, measured in a water solution according to the method described in the European Pharmacopoeia, and currently falling within CN code ex29181200 (TARIC cod 2918120090) (‘the product concerned’).
Zadevni izdelek je vinska kislina s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske, razen vinske kisline D-(-)- z negativno optično rotacijo najmanj 12,0 stopinj, ki se meri v raztopini vode v skladu z metodo, opisano v evropski farmakopeji, ki se trenutno uvršča pod oznako KN ex29181200 (oznaka TARIC 2918120090) („zadevni izdelek“).
Tartaric acid is used either as an ingredient in final products such as wine and other beverages, food and pharmaceutical products, or as an additive to speed up or slow down certain chemical processes, for example in plasters, where it is used as a retardant.
Vinska kislina se uporablja bodisi kot sestavina končnih izdelkov, kot so vino in druge pijače, živila in farmacevtski izdelki, bodisi kot dodatek za pospeševanje ali upočasnjevanje nekaterih kemijskih procesov, na primer v mavcu, kjer se uporablja kot zaviralec.
The product concerned can be obtained either from the by-products of wine making, notably wine lees, as is the case with all Union producers (‘natural tartaric acid’) or, via chemical synthesis, from benzene and maleic anhydride, the latter substance being the main raw material used by Bioking (‘synthetic tartaric acid’).
Zadevni izdelek se lahko pridobiva iz stranskih izdelkov pridelave vina, zlasti vinske usedline, kot je to v primeru vseh proizvajalcev Unije („naravna vinska kislina“), ali s kemijsko sintezo iz benzena in anhidrida maleinske kisline, ki jo Bioking uporablja kot glavno surovino („sintetična vinska kislina“).

The Commission decided that these products are like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je sklenila, da so ti izdelki podobni izdelki v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
CLAIMS REGARDING PRODUCT SCOPE
TRDITVE GLEDE OBSEGA IZDELKA
An interested party claimed that synthetic and natural tartaric acids were not like products.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da sintetična in naravna vinska kislina nista podobna izdelka.
According to this party, the two types of tartaric acid differed in terms of raw materials, production process, production costs, regulatory treatment, consumer perception, physical characteristics and end uses.
Po njenem mnenju se obe vrsti vinske kisline razlikujeta po surovinah, proizvodnem postopku, proizvodnih stroških, regulativni obravnavi, dojemanju potrošnikov, fizikalnih lastnostih in končnih uporabah.
These differences did not allow a fair comparison between synthetic tartaric acid produced by Bioking and natural tartaric acid produced by the Union industry.
Te razlike ne omogočajo poštene primerjave med sintetično vinsko kislino, ki jo proizvaja Bioking, in naravno vinsko kislino, ki jo proizvaja industrija Unije.
It was also claimed that, given its distinct characteristics, synthetic tartaric acid better satisfied certain users' needs.
Trdilo se je tudi, da sintetična vinska kislina zaradi svojih posebnih lastnosti bolje izpolnjuje potrebe nekaterih uporabnikov.
The synthetic tartaric acid is produced from maleic anhydride whose availability is not dependent on climatic conditions, while natural tartaric acid is produced from calcium tartrate obtained from wine lees and therefore its availability varies according the quality of the grape wine harvest, namely climatic conditions.
Sintetična vinska kislina se proizvaja iz anhidrida maleinske kisline, ki je na voljo ne glede na podnebne razmere, medtem ko se naravna vinska kislina proizvaja iz kalcijevega tartrata, ki se pridobiva iz vinske usedline, zato je njegova razpoložljivost odvisna od kakovosti vinske letine, tj. podnebnih razmer.
Therefore, due to the security of supply and the stability of prices, the competition between the two types of tartaric acid was described as limited.
Zato je bila zaradi zanesljivosti oskrbe in stabilnosti cen konkurenca med obema vrstama vinske kisline opisana kot omejena.
Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation provides that for the purposes of an anti-dumping investigation the products are considered alike when they are identical or alike in all respects or have closely resembling characteristics.
Člen 1(4) osnovne uredbe določa, da za namene protidampinške preiskave izdelka veljata za podobna, kadar sta identična ali enaka v vseh pogledih ali imata zelo podobne lastnosti.
Account may be taken of a number of factors, including the physical, technical and chemical characteristics of the products, their use, interchangeability, consumer perception, distribution channels, manufacturing process, costs of production and quality.
Upoštevajo se lahko številni dejavniki, vključno s fizikalnimi, tehničnimi in kemičnimi lastnostmi izdelka, njihovo uporabo, zamenljivostjo, dojemanjem potrošnikov, distribucijskimi verigami, proizvodnim procesom, stroški proizvodnje in kakovostjo.
The investigation established that tartaric acid manufactured by Bioking, by the analogue country producer and by the Union industry have an identical chemical formula and that they share the same technical and physical characteristics despite the difference of raw materials, production process or production costs.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da ima vinska kislina, ki jo proizvajajo Bioking, proizvajalec iz primerljive države in industrija Unije, enako kemijsko formulo ter da imajo iste tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti kljub različnim surovinam, proizvodnim postopkom in stroškom proizvodnje.
Such differences relating to the production cannot undermine the alikeness of the end products since the alikeness is established on the basis of the identical chemical formula and the same technical and physical characteristics.
Take razlike v zvezi s proizvodnjo ne morejo ogroziti podobnosti končnega izdelka, saj se podobnost ugotavlja na podlagi identičnih kemijskih formul ter enakih tehničnih in fizičnih lastnostih.
In addition, the products were marketed in similar grades, had similar end-use applications and were interchangeable.
Poleg tega so se izdelki tržili v podobnih razredih, imeli podobne končne uporabe in bili izmenljivi.
One exception relates to the EU wine producing sector where the use of synthetic tartaric acid is not permitted by the EU regulatory measures [12], however, it is not as such to eliminate the other pertinent similarities.
Izjema v zvezi s sektorjem pridelave vina EU, v katerem regulativni ukrepi EU [12] ne dovoljujejo uporabe sintetične vinske kisline, kot taka ne izključuje ostalih zadevnih podobnosti.
All other market segments are in open and direct competition.
Za vse ostale tržne segmente je značilna odprta in neposredna konkurenca.
Indeed, the investigation showed that users in food, construction and pharmaceutical sectors were purchasing synthetic as well as natural tartaric acid.
Dejansko je preiskava pokazala, da so uporabniki v živilskem, gradbenem in farmacevtskem sektorju kupovali tako sintetično kot naravno vinsko kislino.
Therefore, the claims were not in conformity with the findings of the investigation and it is confirmed that the products were alike.
Trditve tako niso bile v skladu z ugotovitvami preiskave in zato se potrjuje, da sta izdelka podobna.
It is noted that the products were considered alike in all preceding investigations referred to in recitals 1 to 4 above.
Opozoriti je treba, da sta proizvoda veljala za podobna v vseh prejšnjih preiskavah, navedenih v uvodnih izjavah 1–4.
The Commission assessed the MET claim of the exporting producer and also carried out a verification visit at its premises.
Komisija je ocenila zahtevek proizvajalca izvoznika za TGO in v njegovih prostorih izvedla preveritveni obisk.
Subsequently, the Commission disclosed the MET findings to the exporting producer, to the authorities of the country concerned and to the Union industry.
Nato je Komisija proizvajalcu izvozniku, organom zadevne države in industriji Unije razkrila ugotovitve o TGO.
The interested parties had an opportunity to comment on the findings and to request a hearing with the Commission and/or the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings.
Zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da predložijo pripombe na ugotovitve in zahtevajo zaslišanje pred Komisijo in/ali pooblaščencem za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih.
The Commission took account of the views presented.
Komisija je upoštevala predstavljena stališča.
The Commission informed the interested parties of the final MET determination.
Komisija je zainteresirane strani obvestila o končnih rezultatih ocene za TGO.
The investigation established that while it met the requirements of the other criteria of Article 2(7)(c) of the basic Regulation, the exporting producer did not meet the requirements of its first criterion (‘criterion 1’) because the domestic price of the basic raw material representing a major input, maleic anhydride, which it paid during the investigation period, was systematically below international prices and did not reflect market values.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je proizvajalec izvoznik izpolnjeval zahteve vseh meril iz člena 2(7)(c) osnovne uredbe razen prvega („merilo 1“), ker je bila domača cena osnovne surovine, ki predstavlja glavno vhodno sestavino, tj. anhidrida maleinske kisline, ki ga je plačeval v obdobju preiskave, sistematično pod mednarodnimi cenami in ni odražala tržnih vrednosti.
In addition, the low purchase prices of maleic anhydride paid by Bioking corresponded to the Chinese domestic price for maleic anhydride that was also systematically lower than international prices.
Poleg tega so nizke nakupne cene anhidrida maleinske kisline, ki jih je plačeval Bioking, ustrezale domači ceni za anhidrid maleinske kisline na Kitajskem, ki je bila tudi sistematično nižja od mednarodnih cen.
The average price difference established during the investigation period for Bioking was 14 %.
Povprečna razlika med cenami, ki je bila v obdobju preiskave ugotovljena za Bioking, je bila 14 %.
The price difference referred to in recital 41 above was the result of comparing the domestic prices of maleic anhydride paid by Bioking in the PRC during the investigation period with domestic prices in other markets.
Razlika v cenah iz uvodne izjave 41 je bila izračunana s primerjavo domačih cen anhidrida maleinske kisline, ki jo je v obdobju preiskave plačeval Bioking v LRK, z domačimi cenami na drugih trgih.
In order to conduct such a price comparison, the Commission first determined the availability of the domestic prices of maleic anhydride (resulting from market forces) per country, and the comparable types of maleic anhydride in those countries with the maleic anhydride used by Bioking and the maleic anhydride on the domestic market in the PRC as a whole.
Da bi Komisija lahko izvedla takšno primerjavo cen, je najprej določila razpoložljivost domačih cen anhidrida maleinske kisline (ki jih določajo tržne sile) po državah in primerljivih vrst anhidrida maleinske kisline v državah z anhidridom maleinske kisline, ki ga uporablja Bioking, ter anhidrida maleinske kisline na domačem trgu v LRK kot celoti.
The Commission considered that the comparable market should be in the same geographic area for the reasons of transport costs.
Komisija je menila, da bi moral biti primerljiv trg zaradi prevoznih stroškov na istem geografskem območju.
The Commission thus determined that the characteristics of the domestic market in Taiwan, that is geographically the closest market to PRC, allowed it to conduct a proper comparison with prices paid by Bioking and with the domestic prices of maleic anhydride in the PRC in general.
Komisija je zato ugotovila, da so ji lastnosti domačega trga v Tajvanu, ki je geografsko najbližji trg LRK, omogočile izvesti ustrezno primerjavo s cenami, ki jih je plačeval Bioking, in z domačimi cenami anhidrida maleinske kisline v LRK na splošno.
The data used for the comparison of domestic prices in the PRC and the third countries, was sourced from an independent provider of market data [13].
Podatke, uporabljene za primerjavo domačih cen v LRK in tretjih državah, je zagotovil neodvisni ponudnik tržnih podatkov [13].
The comparison was made between purchase prices for maleic anhydride of Bioking, (based on verified data of Bioking), the Chinese domestic price for maleic anhydride, (calculated without VAT), and the domestic price in Taiwan, (without VAT) as sourced from the independent provider.
Izvedena je bila primerjava med nakupnimi cenami anhidrida maleinske kisline za Bioking (na podlagi preverjenih podatkov, ki jih je predložil Bioking), domačo ceno za anhidrid maleinske kisline na Kitajskem (izračunano brez DDV) in domačo ceno v Tajvanu (brez DDV), ki ju je priskrbel neodvisni ponudnik.
The Commission also analysed the data of domestic prices of maleic anhydride in other markets (the USA and the Union), and the results of the comparison between domestic prices in the PRC and the domestic prices in the USA and the Union, respectively, showed an average price difference even substantially higher than the one established for Taiwan.
Komisija je analizirala tudi podatke o domačih cenah anhidrida maleinske kisline na drugih trgih (ZDA in Unija), rezultati primerjave med domačimi cenami v LRK in domačimi cenami v ZDA oziroma Uniji pa so pokazali še bistveno večjo povprečno razliko med cenami od tiste, ki je bila ugotovljena za Tajvan.
The price differences between Chinese and other third country domestic prices can be explained by the fact that the Chinese VAT regime does not allow for a full reimbursement of the input VAT in case of export of maleic anhydride.
Razlike med domačimi cenami na Kitajskem in v drugih tretjih državah se lahko pojasnijo z dejstvom, da kitajski režim DDV ne omogoča polnega povračila vstopnega DDV v primeru izvoza anhidrida maleinske kisline.
This VAT regime thus discourages the exports of maleic anhydride from the PRC.
Ta režim DDV tako odvrača od izvoza anhidrida maleinske kisline iz LRK.
Under Chinese law, companies exporting maleic anhydride from the PRC have to pay a 17 % VAT.
V skladu s kitajsko zakonodajo morajo družbe, ki izvažajo anhidrid maleinske kisline iz LRK, plačati DDV v višini 17 %.
However, only part of the related input VAT is reimbursed.
Vendar se povrne le del zadevnega vstopnega DDV.
In the investigation period, the reimbursement amounted to 9 % of the input VAT.
V obdobju preiskave je povračilo znašalo 9 % vstopnega DDV.
