Closing stocks
Komisija je v skladu s členom 8(5) osnovne uredbe preučila, ali je subvencioniran uvoz iz zadevne države povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
110 - 130
V skladu s členom 8(6) osnovne uredbe je preučila tudi druge znane dejavnike, ki bi lahko hkrati povzročili škodo industriji Unije.
90 - 110
Ti dejavniki so gospodarska kriza in manjše povpraševanje, uvoz iz tretjih držav, izvoz industrije Unije in konkurenca nadomestnih izdelkov, kot so plastične cevi.
Closing stocks Index
Učinki subvencioniranega uvoza
Closing stocks to production ratio
Obseg prodaje indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v Uniji je bil že na začetku obravnavanega obdobja skoraj dvakrat večji [75–85 kt] od celotnega obsega vsega ostalega uvoza (45,8 kt).
20 % - 22 %
Prodaja indijskih proizvajalcev se je leta 2012 zmanjšala v skladu s potrošnjo, vendar je ohranila svoj tržni delež.
16 % - 18 %
Vendar je indijskim proizvajalcem leta 2013, ko je bila potrošnja še vedno na nizki ravni, dobičkonosnost industrije Unije pa negativna, uspelo bistveno povečati prodajo in tržni delež.
During the period considered the level of closing stocks went down.
Tako uspešno povečanje prodaje indijskih proizvajalcev na nazadujočem trgu je bilo mogoče zaradi agresivnih subvencioniranih cen in prodaje zadevnega izdelka po cenah, ki so bile znatno nižje od cen, ki so jih zaračunavali proizvajalci Unije.
The reduction in the level of stocks is mainly caused by a more stringent working capital requirements imposed by the Union industry's management.
Agresivno določanje cen se je nadaljevalo v obdobju preiskave.
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital
Obseg prodaje indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je v obdobju preiskave dosegel [85–95 kt], njihov tržni delež pa [17–19 %].
Profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Ugotovljeni stopnji nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen sta znašali 30,9 % in 31,7 %.
Profitability, cash flow (m EUR), investments (m EUR) and return on investments
Medtem ko sta se prodaja in tržni delež indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov znatno povečala, se je obseg prodaje industrije Unije zmanjšal veliko bolj kot potrošnja, prodaja industrije Unije se je zmanjšala za 11 %, njen tržni delež pa za 4 %.
Profitability of the sales in the Union to unrelated customers (% of sales turnover)
Po začasnem razkritju so oba proizvajalca izvoznika iz Indije in družba Tata trdili, da ni časovnega sovpadanja položaja industrije Unije in uvoza iz Indije ter da slab položaj industrije Unije ni posledica uvoza iz Indije.
2,5 - 3,0
Zlasti so trdili, da je industrija Unije v obdobju preiskave znova postala dobičkonosna in je povečala obseg prodaje, čeprav je bil uvoz iz Indije velik.
(–)5,5 - (–)6,0
Trdili so tudi, da Komisiji ni uspelo ustrezno oceniti drugih dejavnikov, zlasti finančne krize in presežne zmogljivosti industrije Unije kot glavnega vzroka za škodo.
(–)1,0 - (–)1,5
Pri analiziranju, ali je subvencioniran uvoz povzročil škodo v skladu s členom 8(6) osnovne uredbe, je treba posebno pozornost nameniti vprašanju, ali je subvencionirani uvoz znatno nelojalno nižal prodajne cene.
1,5 - 2,0
To vključuje primerjavo s ceno podobnega izdelka industrije Unije.
Cash Flow
Komisija je analizirala, ali so učinki takega uvoza znatno znižali cene ali preprečili zvišanje cen, do katerega bi sicer prišlo.
Cash Flow Index
Opozorila je, da lahko stalni pritisk, ki se izvaja s subvencioniranim uvozom po nizkih cenah, ki ne omogoča industriji Unije, da bi prilagodila svoje prodajne cene, pomeni vzročnost v smislu osnovne uredbe [77].
Investments
Znatno zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije v letih 2011 in 2012 je bilo posledica svetovne finančne krize in zmanjšanja javnih izdatkov, to zmanjšanje potrošnje pa je prispevalo k položaju industrije Unije na začetku obravnavanega obdobja.
Investments Index
Vendar se je od leta 2013, ko je bila potrošnja Unije še vedno na nizki ravni, do konca obdobja preiskave indijski subvencionirani uvoz v Unijo precej povečal, in sicer za 16 % v primerjavi s skupnim 10-odstotnim povečanjem v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
Return on Investments (%)
Hkrati se je tržni delež indijskega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za skoraj 18 %, od leta 2013 do konca obdobja preiskave pa za 6 %.
The Commission established the profitability of the cooperating Union producers by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales.
To je bilo mogoče zaradi prodaje zadevnega izdelka po cenah, ki so bile znatno nižje od cen, ki jih je zaračunavala industrija Unije.
The profitability of the Union industry went down from 2,5 %-3,0 % in 2011 to 1,5 %-2,0 % in the investigation period and it was negative in 2012 and 2013.
Dejansko je bilo s preiskavo ugotovljeno, da so indijske izvozne cene subvencioniranega izvoza v obdobju preiskave nelojalno znižale cene Unije za več kot 30 %.
Most of the sales of the product concerned in the EU were made through the sales subsidiaries of the cooperating EU producers and their costs and profitability were taken into account.
Zato industrija Unije kljub okrevanju svetovnega gospodarstva po finančni krizi in povečanju potrošnje Unije od leta 2013 tega ni mogla v celoti izkoristiti.
The complainant claimed that the industry expected a profitability exceeding 12 % that had been common in the years 2007-2009.
Čeprav je industrija Unije med letom 2013 in koncem obdobja preiskave povečala obseg prodaje, se je v obravnavanem obdobju skupno zmanjšal za 10 % v primerjavi z indijskim uvozom, ki se je v istem obdobju povečal za 10 %.
However, in those years the sales were particularly high to due to an economic boom in the years 2007-2008 and the Union governments' fiscal stimulus spending to counteract the effects of economic crisis in the year 2009.
Dotok subvencioniranega uvoza iz Indije, ki je močno nelojalno znižal cene industrije Unije, je slednji preprečeval, da bi povečala obseg prodaje na trgu Unije na ravni, ki bi lahko zagotovile vzdržne stopnje dobička.
Therefore those years cannot be considered as representative.
Da bi industrija Unije ohranila obseg proizvodnje, je povečala obseg izvoza.
The complainant also claimed that double-digit profitability is justified by a high-level of R & D spending.
Tako sta subvencionirani uvoz po cenah, ki so znatno nelojalno znižale cene industrije Unije (za približno 30 %), zaradi česar so se cene na trgu Unije znatno znižale, kar je preprečevalo zvišanje cen, do katerega bi sicer prišlo, in znatna škoda, ki jo je industrija Unije utrpela v obdobju preiskave, časovno sovpadala.
The investigation found little evidence for an intense R & D activity — the R & D expenditure accounted for 1,8 % of the turnover in 2011 and 1,6 % in the investigation period for the Union producer who had the highest R & D spending.
Glede na časovno sovpadanje znatnega znižanja cen proizvajalcev Unije zaradi subvencioniranega indijskega uvoza ter zmanjšanja prodaje in tržnega deleža industrije Unije, kar je privedlo do zelo majhne dobičkonosnosti, se sklene, da je bil slab položaj industrije Unije posledica subvencioniranega izvoza.
Based on the profitability achieved in similar industries, such as seamless pipes and tubes of stainless steel it has been considered that a 5 % profitability margin is reasonable for this kind of industry.
Učinki drugih dejavnikov
The net cash flow is the ability of the cooperating Union producers to self-finance their activities.
Gospodarska kriza in manjše povpraševanje
The cash flow was at a similar level in 2011 and the investigation period.
Potrošnja zadevnega izdelka v Uniji se je zmanjšala za 7 %.
The level of investment was larger in the IP than it had been in 2011.
Upad potrošnje (za 13 % v obdobju 2011–2012) je bil posledica gospodarske krize in zmanjšanja javnih izdatkov.
However in the years 2012 and 2013 the level of investment was much lower and the increase in the investigation period did not offset the decrease in the preceding years.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
An increase in investment during the IP can be largely explained by one large investment by one cooperating Union producer to replace a vital piece of equipment that had broken down.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
The return on investments is the profit in percentage of the net book value of investments.
Obseg uvoza iz tretjih držav (v metričnih tonah)
The return on investments was significantly lower in the investigation period than it was in 2011.

Conclusion on injury
Kitajska
The Union industry lost market share by 4 % in a declining market, while its sales in the Union market decreased by more than 11 %.
Tretje države, razen Kitajske
The capacity utilisation remained low throughout the whole period considered although it slightly increased as compared to the beginning of the period considered, mainly due to a considerable increase in Union industry exports.
Vse tretje države
Whilst the Union industry has to some extent recovered from the negative results incurred in 2012 and 2013, its profitability has overall decreased during the period considered and was by the end of the investigation period only 1,5 %-2,0 %, well below the target profit, which has been established at 5 % (see recital 327).
Uvoz iz Indije je predstavljal večino celotnega uvoza v Unijo v obdobju preiskave.
The fact that some other injury indicators such as production, capacity utilisation, productivity, cash flow, investment or return on investment remained relatively stable or even improved, cannot change the conclusion that the Union industry suffered material injury as explained in recital 334 below.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je bistveno povečal, uvoz iz drugih držav pa se je v istem obdobju zmanjšal za več kot 20 %.
The exporting producers and Tata claimed that the fact that several indicators show a positive/stable trend means that the Union Industry is not in an injurious situation.
Medtem ko je uvoz iz Indije pridobil tržni delež, se je tržni delež uvoza iz drugih držav zmanjšal.
First, Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation states that the examination of the Union industry shall include an evaluation of all relevant economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the industry and that ‘any one or more of these factors necessarily give decisive guidance’.
Proizvajalca izvoznika sta trdila, da je eden od proizvajalcev Unije zadevni izdelek uvažal iz svojih proizvodnih obratov na Kitajskem in si s tem sam povzročal škodo.
Second, for finding the existence of material injury it is not necessary for all the relevant economic factors and indices to show a negative trend.
Ta trditev ni bila podprta z dokazi.
Moreover, the existence of stable or even positive trends in some of the injury indicators does not preclude the existence of material injury.
Preverjeni dokazi so pokazali, da je bil obseg uvoza v Unijo iz kitajskih obratov, povezanih s proizvajalcem Unije, zelo majhen.
Rather, such a finding must be based on an overall assessment of all indicators which has been fully endorsed by the European jurisprudence [76].
Poleg tega se je celotni izvoz s Kitajske glede na poročanje Eurostata v obravnavanem obdobju precej zmanjšal.
Low profitability, coupled with a continued loss of sales and the market share in the Union, puts the Union industry in a difficult economic situation.
Celotni uvoz s Kitajske je izgubil več kot 2 odstotni točki tržnega deleža, kar kaže, da ni povzročil škode.
On the basis of an overall analysis of all relevant injury indicators and given the difficult economic and financial situation of the Union industry it is concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation.
Izvoz industrije Unije
CAUSATION
Obseg izvoza sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
In accordance with Article 8(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the subsidised imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.
Izvoz sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije
In accordance with Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Obseg izvoza (v 1000 tonah)
These factors are: the economic crisis and decrease of demand, imports from third countries, export performance of the Union industry and the competition from substitute products such as plastic pipes.
120–140
Effects of the subsidised imports
100–120
The Indian exporting producers' volume of sales in the Union were almost twice as large [75 kt - 85 kt] as all other imports combined (45,8kt) already at the beginning of the period considered.
150–170
The Indian sales fell in line with the consumption in the year 2012 but maintained its market share.
160–180
However, in the year 2013, when the consumption was still depressed and the profitability of the Union industry negative, the Indian manufacturers managed to increase significantly both their sales and market share.
Obseg izvoza – indeks
Such successful expansion of the Indian sales in a declining market was made possible through aggressive subsidised prices and selling the product concerned at prices substantially lower than the ones charged by the Union producers.
Izvozna cena (EUR/t)
The aggressive pricing continued in the investigation period.
1050–1100
The volume of sales from the Indian exporting producers reached [85 kt - 95 kt] and their market share reached [17 %-19 %] in the investigation period.
950–1000
The level of undercutting was established at 30,9 % and 31,7 %.
Povprečna izvozna cena – indeks
Whilst the Indian sales and market share increased materially, the volume of sales of the Union industry fell much more than the consumption and the Union Industry lost sales by 11 % and its market share fell by 4 %.
Prodaja industrije Unije zunaj Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju močno povečala, in sicer za 30 %, povprečna prodajna cena pa je ostala razmeroma nespremenjena.
Following disclosure both exporting producers from India and Tata claimed that there is no coincidence in time between the situation of the Union industry and imports from India and that the injurious situation of the Union industry has not been caused by imports from India.
Zato je prodaja zunaj Unije v bistvu dejavnik, ki je ublažil škodo.
In particular, they argued that the Union industry returned to profitable figures and increased its sales volumes during the IP while imports from India were high.
Če se prodaja zunaj Unije ne bi povečala, bi bil položaj industrije Unije še slabši.
They also claimed that the Commission failed to properly assess other factors, particularly the financial crisis and the Union industry's overcapacity as the main cause of injury.
Družba Jindal je poudarila, da so bile izvozne prodajne cene industrije Unije nižje od prodajnih cen Unije in zato niso mogle ublažiti škode.
When analysing whether subsidised imports have caused injury under Article 8(6) of the basic Regulation a particular consideration must be given to whether there has been significant price undercutting by the subsidised imports.
Večja prodaja zunaj Unije je omogočila industriji Unije večji obseg proizvodnje, vzdrževanje stopnje zaposlenosti in večjo izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, kar pomeni lažje pokrivanje stalnih stroškov.
This entails a comparison with the price of the like product of the Union industry.
Dejstvo, da so bile povprečne izvozne cene na enoto nekoliko nižje (v razponu 5 %) od prodajnih cen Unije, je lahko posledica veliko različnih dejavnikov, kot so prodaja manj izpopolnjenih vrst izdelkov, večji premeri, večje število prodajnih transakcij itd., zaradi česar so bile cene zunaj Unije lahko nižje od stroškov prodaje v EU.
The Commission analysed whether the effects of such imports depressed prices to a significant degree or prevented price increases that would have otherwise occurred.
Proizvajalca izvoznika sta tudi trdila, da je bila škoda samopovzročena, ker se je pritožnik vedno bolj osredotočal na kitajsko proizvodno dejavnost v LRK in večino njegove prodaje v države zunaj EU predstavljajo kitajski izdelki, kar med drugim povzroča majhno izkoriščenost zmogljivosti.
The Commission recalled that a continued pressure exerted by low-priced subsidised imports that does not allow the Union industry to adapt its sales prices may constitute causality within the meaning of the basic Regulation [77].
Komisija ni sprejela tega argumenta.
A significant fall in Union consumption in 2011 and 2012 was due to the global financial crisis and shrinking public expenditure and that this decrease in consumption contributed to the situation of the Union industry at the beginning of the period considered.
Kot je bilo že navedeno, se je izvoz industrije Unije znatno povečal, in sicer za 30 %, kar je preprečilo zmanjšanje proizvodnje in poslabšanje več drugih dejavnikov škode.
However, from 2013 when the Union consumption was still depressed until the end of the investigation period, Indian subsidised imports to the Union increased significantly, by 16 % as compared to an overall increase of 10 % during the whole period considered.
Konkurenca nadomestnih izdelkov
At the same time the Indian imports increased their market share by almost 18 % over the period considered and by 6 % from 2013 until the end of the IP.
Zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je škoda posledica močne konkurence nadomestnih izdelkov, zlasti plastičnih cevi (polietilen (PE), polivinil klorid (PVC) in polipropilen (PP)).
This was made possible by selling the product concerned at prices substantially lower than the ones charged by the Union industry.
Cene plastičnih cevi z manjšimi premeri na enoto so sprva bistveno nižje.
Indeed, for the IP the investigation has established that Indian subsidised export prices undercut the Union prices by more than 30 %.
Če pa se upoštevajo stroški vzdrževanja in življenjska doba izdelka, ima zadevni izdelek dolgoročne stroškovne prednosti.
As a consequence, despite the global recovery from the financial crisis and an increase in Union consumption from 2013, the Union industry could not fully benefit thereof.
Plastične cevi izvajajo določen konkurenčni pritisk na zadevni izdelek, zlasti cevi z manjšimi premeri.
Although the Union industry increased its sales volumes between 2013 and the end of the investigation period, the sales volumes decreased overall during the period considered by 10 % as compared to Indian imports, which increased by 10 % during the same period.
Vendar cevi iz nodularnega litega železa v obravnavanem obdobju tržnega deleža niso izgubile zaradi plastičnih cevi, v nekaterih primerih pa so cevi iz nodularnega litega železa v istem obdobju celo ponovno pridobile določen tržni delež v škodo plastičnih cevi.
The influx of subsidised imports from India, which significantly undercut the Union industry's prices, prevented the Union industry from increasing its sales volumes on the Union market to levels that could ensure sustainable profit levels.
Zato konkurenca plastičnih nadomestnih izdelkov najverjetneje ni povzročila znatne škode v obravnavanem obdobju.
In order to maintain the production volume the Union industry increased its export volumes.
Drugi dejavniki
There was thus a coincidence in time between the subsidised imports at prices significantly undercutting the Union industry prices (around 30 %), which significantly depressed prices on the Union market that in turn prevented price increases that would otherwise have occurred, and the material injury suffered by the Union industry in the investigation period.
Proizvajalca izvoznika in družba Tata so trdili, da je škoda posledica strukturne presežne zmogljivosti.
Given the coincidence in time between significant undercutting of the Union producers' prices by the subsidised Indian imports and the Union's industry loss of sales and market share, resulting in a very low profitability, it is concluded that the subsidised imports were responsible for the injurious situation of the Union industry.
Vendar dejstvo, da je bila zmogljivost industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju slabo izkoriščena, ne pomeni nujno, da trpi zaradi take strukturne presežne zmogljivosti in/ali neučinkovitosti, da bi to upravičevalo prilagoditev neškodljive cene navzdol.
Effects of other factors
Opozoriti je treba, da je imela industrija Unije kljub nizki stopnji izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti leta 2011, ki je bila še nižja od stopnje, ugotovljene v obdobju preiskave, visoko dobičkonosnost.
The economic crisis and decrease in demand
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
The Union consumption of the product concerned decreased by 7 %.
Družba Jindal je trdila, da so se PSA-stroški industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju podvojili in da je bil to dejavnik, ki je povzročil škodo, ki je prekinila vzročno zvezo.
The fall in consumption (13 % from 2011 to 2012) was caused by an economic crisis and shrinking public expenditure.
Ker pa je bilo ugotovljeno, da so se PSA-stroški v obravnavanem obdobju le rahlo povišali, je bil ta argument zavrnjen.
The decrease in consumption seems to have contributed to the injury at the beginning of the period considered, and may also have contributed in the year 2013.
Proizvajalca izvoznika in družba Tata so trdili, da povečanje naložb jasno kaže boljši položaj in da povečevanje indijskega uvoza ne povzroča škode.
However, in 2013 and, especially in the investigation period, the subsidised Indian imports are the main injury factor exerting downward pressure on the Union sales of the Union Industry and preventing the return to a sustainable profitability.
Zamenjava mešalnika je zahtevala velike izdatke pri osnovnih sredstvih v obdobju preiskave.
Imports from third countries
Družba ECL je trdila, da je manjša dobičkonosnost industrije Unije posledica navedene okvare.
The volume of imports from other third countries developed over the period considered as follows:
Opozoriti je treba, da je bilo opravljenih več izračunov za izločitev vpliva okvare mešalnika na dobičkonosnost, zato se ta trditev zavrne.
Imports from third countries in volume (metric tonnes)
Družba Jindal je tudi trdila, da večji razpon med prodajno ceno na enoto in stroški proizvodnje v obdobju preiskave kaže na pomanjkanje vzročne zveze med subvencioniranim izvozom in škodo.
Source: Eurostat
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 319, prodajna cena na enoto in stroški proizvodnje na enoto niso določeni na isti podlagi, zato med tema kazalnikoma ni neposredne povezave.
China
V vsakem primeru zvišanje cen nad stroške proizvodnje v obdobju preiskave ni zadostovalo za ponovno vzpostavitev ciljne dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije.
Third countries except China
Položaj industrije Unije leta 2011 ni bil dober, saj tudi njena dobičkonosnost ni dosegala ciljnih 5 %.
All third countries
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
The imports from India constituted the majority of all imports in the Union in the investigation period.
Ugotovljena je bila vzročna zveza med škodo, ki so jo utrpeli proizvajalci Unije, in subvencioniranim uvozom iz zadevne države.
While Indian imports increased materially during the period considered other imports decreased by more than 20 % in the same period.
Nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen industrije Unije zaradi subvencioniranega uvoza je sovpadalo z zmanjšanjem prodaje industrije Unije v EU in njenega tržnega deleža v EU.
While Indian imports gained market, the market share of imports from other countries decreased.
Subvencionirani uvoz iz Indije je v obdobju preiskave nelojalno znižal prodajne cene industrije Unije za 30,9 % in 31,7 %.
No evidence was found to support those claims.
Gospodarska kriza in zmanjšanje povpraševanja sta prispevala k škodi na začetku obravnavanega obdobja.
The verified evidence demonstrated that imports into the Union from the related Chinese facilities of the Union producer had been very low.
Vendar se položaj industrije Unije ne bi tako močno poslabšal, če ne bi bilo znatnega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen industrije Unije zaradi subvencioniranega uvoza.
