In the absence of other comments regarding the microeconomic indicators, the other conclusions reached in recitals 135 to 151 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Zainteresirane strani (proizvajalci izvozniki in distributerji) so ponovili trditve v zvezi z vzročno zvezo, ki so jih navedle v začasni fazi, pri čemer niso dodale nobenih novih elementov za proučitev.
Conclusion on injury
Te pripombe so se med drugim nanašale na: nizko stopnjo uvoza, cene uvoza, ki so izhajale iz cen surovin, uvoz iz drugih držav in presežno zmogljivost industrije Unije.
On the basis of the above and in the absence of any other comments, the conclusions set out in recitals 152 to 155 of the provisional Regulation that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation were confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih novih trditev, se šteje, da so se pripombe iz uvodnih izjav od 156 do 208 začasne uredbe podrobno obravnavale.
CAUSATION
Zaradi jasnosti so nekatere pripombe obravnavane tudi v nadaljevanju.
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports from the countries concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.
Učinki dampinškega uvoza
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Zainteresirane strani so tudi ponovile, da uvoz iz zadevnih držav, ki je v obdobju preiskave znašal 4,3 % za LRK in 5,1 % za Tajvan, ni mogel biti razlog za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, zlasti ker je njen tržni delež v istem obdobju znašal okoli 80 %.
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the dumped imports from the countries concerned was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Komisija je ugotovila, da so se zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav v obdobju preiskave nelojalno znižale prodajne cene industrije Unije, in sicer med 9,8 % in 11,4 %, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 83 zgoraj.
Interested parties (exporting producers and distributors) repeated the claims concerning causality brought forward during the provisional stage without advancing any new elements for consideration.
Čeprav uvoz morda ni popoln konkurenčen pritisk, kot je bilo že navedeno v uvodni izjavi 158 začasne uredbe, se s tem izvaja pritisk na cene industrije Unije, ki tako ni mogla niti ohraniti svojega tržnega deleža niti postati dobičkonosna.
These comments concerned among others: low level of imports, import prices following raw material prices, imports from other countries and the overcapacity of the Union industry).
Kot je bilo ugotovljeno v uvodni izjavi 70 zgoraj, se je Komisija poleg tega odločila, da so izpolnjeni pogoji za kumulativno oceno učinkov uvoza iz LRK in Tajvana, ki je v obdobju preiskave skupaj znašal 9,5 %.
Since there were no new arguments, the comments are considered addressed in detail in recitals 156 to 208 of the provisional Regulation.
Učinki drugih dejavnikov
For clarity, certain comments are also discussed below.
Nedampinški uvoz s Tajvana
Effects of the dumped imports
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 66 zgoraj, se je po pripombah o začasnem razkritju ugotovilo, da en tajvanski proizvajalec izvoznik ni izvajal dampinga.
Interested parties also repeated that imports from the countries concerned at the level of 4,3 % for the PRC and 5,1 % for Taiwan during the investigation period could not be the reason of injury of the Union industry, especially with a market share of the Union industry of around 80 % in the same period.
Zato je treba analizirati vpliv tega uvoza na celoten položaj industrije Unije, saj ni bil več vključen v dampinški uvoz.
The Commission established that during the investigation period the dumped imports from the countries concerned undercut the Union industry prices by between 9,8 % and 11,4 %, as explained in recital 83 above.
Vendar je bil obseg tega uvoza v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju zanemarljiv, pri čemer je bil njegov tržni delež vedno precej pod 1 %.
While imports may not be a perfect competitive constraint, as already set out in recital 158 of the provisional Regulation this exerts price pressure on the Union industry and therefore has neither allowed the Union industry to maintain its market share nor to become profitable.
Komisija je tako sklenila, da nedampinški uvoz s Tajske zaradi svojega zanemarljivega obsega ni znatno prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unija.
In addition, as concluded in recital 70 above, the Commission determined that the conditions were met for cumulative assessment of the effects of imports from the PRC and Taiwan amounting jointly to 9,5 % during the investigation period.
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav
Effects of other factors
Proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da so uvozne cene iz drugih držav, kot sta Južna Koreja in Južna Afrika, nižje od cen LRK in da bi skupaj z uvozom iz Indije, ki ima podobe cene kot kitajski uvoz, lahko izvajale pritisk na cene vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
Non-dumped imports from Taiwan
Trdil je še, da so povprečne cene teh treh držav nižje od povprečne neškodljive cene vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
As explained in recital 66 above, following comments on provisional disclosure one Taiwanese exporting producer was found not to be dumping.
Vendar, kot je bilo že navedeno v uvodni izjavi 174 začasne uredbe, hladno valjani ploščati izdelki iz nerjavnega jekla vključujejo jeklo različnih vrst, kar povzroča znatne razlike v ceni, ki jih pri povprečni ceni iz podatkov Eurostata ni bilo mogoče upoštevati.
The impact of these imports on the overall situation of the Union industry has therefore to be analysed, as they are no longer included in the dumped imports.
Zato ni smiselno, da bi se samo primerjale povprečne cene, pri katerih se te razlike ne upoštevajo.
However, the volume of these imports was negligible throughout the period considered, always holding a market share significantly below 1 %.
Dejansko se nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen za LRK in Tajvan ni ugotovilo na podlagi povprečnih cen, pač pa na podlagi primerjave za vsako vrsto izdelka posebej, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 111 začasne uredbe.
The Commission thus concluded that due to the negligible volume of the non-dumped imports from Taiwan, they did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry to any significant degree
Ista stran je tudi trdila, da je bilo pri uvozu iz Indije in Južne Koreje razvidno znatno povečanje, izraženo absolutno in relativno.
Imports from other third countries
Izključitev teh držav naj torej ne bi bila objektivna.
An exporting producer argued that the import prices from other countries such as South Korea and South Africa are lower than from the PRC, and together with imports from India, which are similarly priced as Chinese imports, could exert pressure on the prices of the sampled Union producers.
Tržni delež Južne Koreje se je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju povečeval z 2,3 % na 2,8 %, torej za zgolj 0,5 odstotne točke.
The party further argues that average prices from these three countries are below the average non-injurious price of the sampled Union producers.
Čeprav se je uvoz iz Indije hitreje povečeval, je bil njegov tržni delež v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju zelo nizek, in sicer manj kot 2 %.
However, as already stated in recital 174 of the provisional Regulation, SSCR consist of various steel grades leading to significant price differences that could not be taken into account in the average price from Eurostat.
To kaže, da obstajajo objektivne razlike med položajem LRK in Tajvana na eni strani ter Indije in Južne Koreje na drugi.
It is therefore not meaningful to simply compare average prices, which do not take into account these differences.
Ista stran je tudi navedla, da Komisija ni pojasnila razlogov za splošno povišanje cen leta 2011 in znižanje cen leta 2012.
Indeed, price undercutting for the PRC and Taiwan was not established on the basis of average prices, but on the basis of a comparison on a type-by-type basis, as stated in recital 111 of the provisional Regulation.
V uvodni izjavi 138 začasne uredbe je pojasnjeno, da so prodajne cene industrije Unije odvisne od gibanja stroškov surovin, večinoma kroma in niklja.
The same party also argues that imports from India and South Korea showed significant increases, both in absolute and relative terms.
Ker so se cene drugih tretjih držav gibale podobno, lahko predvidevamo, da so razlogi za gibanje cen podobni.
An exclusion of these countries is therefore allegedly unobjective.
Vendar, kot je bilo navedeno v uvodni izjavi 174 začasne uredbe, hladno valjani ploščati izdelki iz nerjavnega jekla vključujejo jeklo različnih vrst, kar povzroča znatne razlike v ceni, ki jih pri povprečni ceni iz podatkov Eurostata ni bilo mogoče upoštevati.
In respect of South Korea, the market share increased from 2,3 % to 2,8 % throughout the period considered, an increase of only 0,5 percentage points.
Po dokončnem razkritju je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da uvoza iz Južne Koreje, Indije in Južne Afrike ni mogoče šteti za zanemarljivega, saj je njihov skupni tržni delež v obdobju preiskave znašal 6,3 %.
While imports from India increased more rapidly, they held a very low market share of less than 2 % throughout the period considered.
Vendar se v začasni uredbi nobeden od teh uvozov ni štel za zanemarljivega in njihovi učinki so bili ustrezno analizirani.
This shows that there are objective differences between the situation of the PRC and Taiwan on the one hand and India and South Korea on the other hand.
Ista stran je nadalje trdila, da so se iz LRK uvažali večinoma izdelki serije 304.
The same party also notes that the Commission does not present explanation as to what caused the overall price increase in 2011 and what caused the prices to decrease in 2012.
Druge vrste izdelkov, kot so serije 316, 316L in 321, imajo višje cene, saj je vsebnost niklja pri vseh višja.
Recital 138 of the provisional Regulation explains that sales prices of the Union industry are driven by the development of raw material costs, mainly chromium and nickel.
Zato mora uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav kljub navedbi iz uvodne izjave 174 začasne uredbe obsegati bodisi izdelke serije 200 (ki so v Uniji nišni izdelki) bodisi biti precej dampinški.
Since the prices from other third countries followed a similar trend, it can be assumed that the reasons for the price development are similar.
Trdila je, da je povprečna cena iz LRK sorazmerno nizka, saj naj bi imeli nižjo ceno kot najbolj priljubljena vrsta, ki jo prodajajo kitajski izvozniki, le nišni izdelki.
However, as indicated in recital 174 of the provisional Regulation, SSCR consist of various steel grades leading to significant price differences that could not be taken into account in the average price from Eurostat.
Pri tej oceni pa se je očitno povsem spregledala nizkocenovna serija izdelkov vrste 400, ki v Uniji pomenijo osnovne izdelke, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 189 začasne uredbe.
Following final disclosure, one interested party argued that imports from South Korea, India and South Africa cannot be considered negligible, since they cumulatively hold a 6,3 % market share during the investigation period.
Dejansko je LRK izvažala sorazmerno velik delež visokocenovnih izdelkov serije 300.
However, none of these imports were considered negligible in the provisional Regulation and their effects were duly analysed.
To je razvidno iz dejstva, da sta imela LRK in Tajvan podobno stopnjo nelojalno znižanih prodajnih cen, kljub temu, da so bile kitajske cene v obdobju preiskave v povprečju za več kot 100 EUR višje od tajvanskih, kot je prikazano v preglednici 7 začasne uredbe.
The same party further argued that imports from the PRC were to a large extent of the 304 series.
Izvoz industrije Unije
Other product types such as the 316, 316L and 321 series are higher priced, since they all have higher nickel content.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je iz 11-odstotnega znižanja izvoznih cen, kot je prikazano v preglednici 16 začasne uredbe, razviden prispevek tega znižanja cene k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Therefore, despite the statement in 174 of the provisional Regulation, imports from other third countries must either be in the 200 series (which is a niche product in the Union) or substantially dumped.
V zvezi s tem je v uvodni izjavi 138 začasne uredbe pojasnjeno, da so stroški in cene odvisni od gibanja stroškov surovin, večinoma kroma in niklja.
The claim therefore suggests that the average price from the PRC is comparably low, as allegedly only niche products have a lower price than the most popular grade sold by the Chinese exporters.
Znižanje cen na izvoznih trgih je podobno znižanju cen na trgu Unije, zato je odvisno od istih stroškovnih dejavnikov.
This assessment however completely overlooks the low-priced 400 grade series, which is a commodity product in the Union, as stated in recital 189 of the provisional Regulation.
Ena zainteresirana stran je po dokončnem razkritju trdila, da glede znižanja izvoznih cen ni prejela nobene ocene ali pojasnila.
Indeed, the PRC exported a comparably high proportion of the high-priced 300 series products.
Ta zadeva je jasno obrazložena v prejšnji uvodni izjavi, pri čemer je pojasnjeno, da je znižanje izvozne cene odvisno od gibanja stroškov surovin.
This is shown by the fact that the PRC and Taiwan had similar undercutting margin, despite Chinese prices during the investigation period being on average more than 100 EUR higher than Taiwanese prices, as shown in Table 7 of the provisional Regulation.
Presežna zmogljivost
Export performance of the Union industry
Opozoriti je treba, da se je stopnja izkoriščanja zmogljivosti v obravnavanem obdobju znižala s 77 % na 70 %, v glavnem zaradi znižanja obsega proizvodnje.
One interested party argued that the decrease in export prices of 11 % as shown in Table 16 of the provisional Regulation shows that this price decrease has contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Industrija Unije je morala zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav zmanjšati svojo proizvodnjo na rastočem trgu.
In this respect, recital 138 of the provisional Regulation explains that both costs and prices are driven by the development of raw material costs, mainly chromium and nickel.
Zato znižanje proizvodne izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti ne more biti posledica presežnih zmogljivosti, nameščenih pred letom 2010.
Following final disclosure, one interested party argued that no assessment or explanation has been provided concerning the decrease in export prices.
Ena zainteresirana stran je glede analize vzročne zveze pomislekov glede konkurence iz uvodnih izjav od 183 do 194 začasne uredbe pripomnila, da je bila analiza Komisije nezadostna.
In this respect, the previous recital clearly addresses this issue, explaining that the decreasing export price is driven by the development of raw material costs.
Komisija naj ne bi upoštevala njenih trditev ter naj bi napačno razlagala ugotovitve iz zadeve o združitvi Outokumpu/INOXUM in dejstva sedanje preiskave.
Overcapacity
Svojo trditev je podkrepila z navedbo, da imajo štirje glavni proizvajalci Unije s približno 80 % tržnega deleža še vedno prevladujoč položaj na trgu.
Interested parties argued that the low capacity utilisation of the Union industry was caused by excess capacities installed before 2010.
Ta trditev ni točna glede na dejstva.
However, the year 2010 was the year with the highest capacity utilisation throughout the period considered.
Tržni delež industrije Unije je v obdobju preiskave dejansko znašal 80 %, kot je navedeno v preglednici 9 začasne uredbe.
It is recalled that during the period considered the capacity utilisation decreased from 77 % to 70 %, mainly due to a decrease in production volumes.
Vendar industrijo Unije sestavlja devet znanih proizvajalcev, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 90 začasne uredbe.
Due to the dumped imports from the countries concerned, the Union industry had to reduce their production in a growing market.
Mednje spadajo štirje glavni integrirani proizvajalci in pet manjših proizvajalcev.
It is therefore considered that the decreasing production capacity utilisation cannot be caused by excess capacities installed before 2010.
Ista stran je trdila, da je GD za konkurenco ugotovil, da „so na trgu dejavni le štirje glavni akterji EU, sledijo pa jim manjši neevropski akterji, od katerih vsak predstavlja zgolj 5 % trga“, pri čemer se je sklicevala na uvodno izjavo 351 sklepa glede združitve Outokumpu/INOXUM.
Competition concerns
Vendar je ta domnevni citat napačen.
With regard to the causation analysis of the competition concerns set out in recitals 183 to 194 in the provisional Regulation, one interested party commented that the Commission's analysis was insufficient.
V pravilnem citatu je navedeno „samo štirje glavni akterji so dejavni na trgu, sledijo pa jim manjši evropski in neevropski akterji“.
The Commission would have ignored its claims and misinterpreted the findings provided in the Outokumpu/Inoxum merger case and the facts of the present investigation.
Jasno je torej, da je ta stran nepravilno citirala sklep glede združitve Outokumpu/INOXUM, saj je povsem prezrla pet manjših proizvajalcev Unije.
In support of its claim, they state that the four major Union producers are still dominant on the market by holding around 80 % of market share.
Po dokončnem razkritju je ista stran priznala, da je majhne evropske akterje izpustila iz citata zato, ker vsak predstavlja zgolj 5 % trga.
This claim is factually incorrect.
Vseeno pa je vztrajala pri tem, da imajo štirje glavni integrirani proizvajalci 80-odstotni tržni delež, pri čemer se je sklicevala na uvodno izjavo 135 zgoraj.
The market share of the Union industry indeed was 80 % during the investigation period as stated in Table 9 of the provisional Regulation.
Vendar je v tej izjavi navedeno, da se 80-odstotni tržni delež nanaša na vseh devet znanih proizvajalcev Unije.
However, as indicated in recital 90 of the provisional Regulation, the Union industry is made up of nine known producers.
Trditev torej ni točna glede na dejstva in jo je treba skladno s tem zavrniti.
This includes the four major integrated producers and five smaller producers.
Ista stran se je sklicevala na uvodno izjavo 187 začasne uredbe in trdila, da je navedba, „četudi omejitev uvoza za zdaj ni velika, se bo v prihodnje povečala,“ zgolj špekulativna in se nanaša na hipotetični dogodek v prihodnosti.
The same party argued that DG COMP found that ‘only four major EU players are active on the market, followed by a fringe of small non-European players, each of them representing no more than 5 % of the market’, referring to recital 351 of the Outokumpu/Inoxum Merger Decision.
Ta ocena ni pravilna.
This alleged quote is however incorrect.
Citat je vzet iz sklepa glede združitve Outokumpu/INOXUM, zveza „v prihodnje“ pa se torej nanaša na dogodke po sprejetju tega sklepa.
The correct quote states that ‘only four major players are active on the market, followed by a fringe of small European and non-European players.’
Kot je pojasnjeno v isti uvodni izjavi začasne uredbe, se je uvoz iz LRK in Tajvana v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 70 %.
It is therefore clear that this party incorrectly quoted the Outokumpu/Inoxum Merger Decision, completely disregarding five smaller Union producers.
Poleg tega je v uredbi o registraciji navedeno, da se je leta 2014 uvoz iz LRK še dodatno povečal za 115 % za LRK in 66 % za Tajvan [7].
After final disclosure, the same party acknowledged the omission of the small European players from the quote because they represent each no more than 5 % of the market.
Taka nenehna povečanja obsega uvoza kažejo, da navedba ni bila špekulativna ter da povečanja niso bila „hipotetični dogodki v prihodnosti“, temveč so se uresničila med sprejetjem sklepa glede združitve Outokumpu/INOXUM in objavo začasne uredbe.
Nevertheless, they insisted that the four major integrated producers have an 80 % market share, referring to recital 135 above.
Ker nove zanesljive informacije v zvezi s tem niso na voljo, Komisija potrjuje svoje ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav od 183 do 194 začasne uredbe o tem, da konkurenčni pogoji v Uniji ne bi mogli preprečiti, da dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav ne bi povzročil škode industriji Unije.
However, as stated in this recital, the 80 % market share refers to all nine known Union producers.
Domnevno ciklično gibanje obsega uvoza
The claim is therefore factually incorrect and can be rejected accordingly.
Za oceno te trditve se je proučil uvoz iz zadevnih držav, kot je o njem poročal Eurostat, v daljšem obdobju.
The same party referred to recital 187 of the provisional Regulation, claiming that the statement ‘even if the constraint posed by imports may not be strong at present, it would be possible that it will increase in the future’ is purely speculative and refers to a hypothetical event in the future.
Zaradi zaupnosti ni bil izključen zanemarljiv uvoz tajvanskega proizvajalca izvoznika, za katerega se je ugotovilo, da ni dampinški.
This assessment is incorrect.
Ta uvoz pa vseeno ne vpliva na trend, prikazan v preglednici 4.
As explained in the same recital of the provisional Regulation, imports from the PRC and Taiwan increased by 70 % during the period considered.
Obseg uvoza iz zadevnih držav
Furthermore, the Registration Regulation stated that imports from the PRC further increased by 115 % for the PRC and 66 % for Taiwan in 2014 [7].
Vir: Eurostat.
Such continuous increases in import volumes demonstrate that the statement was not speculative, and the increases were not ‘hypothetical events in the future’ but materialized between the adoption of the Outokumpu/Inoxum Merger Decision and the publication of the provisional Regulation.
Obseg uvoza (v tonah)
In the absence of new reliable information in this regard, the Commission confirms its finding in recitals 183 to 194 of the provisional Regulation that the competition conditions in the Union could not have prevented the dumped imports from the countries concerned to cause injury to the Union industry.
Iz teh statističnih podatkov o uvozu je razvidno, da je bilo v obdobju 2009–2014 v sicer vse večjem obsegu uvoza iz zadevnih držav edina izjema leto 2012.
Alleged cyclical development of the import volumes
Upad prodaje in proizvodnje kljub povečanju naročil
In recital 105 of the provisional Regulation, it was concluded that imports steadily increased throughout the period considered, with the exception of 2012.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da nizka proizvodnja upada in se obseg prodaje industrije Unije zmanjšuje kljub povečanju števila naročil.
Interested parties however claimed that the development of the import volumes did not show a consistent increasing trend during the period considered, but was rather subject to a cyclical development, 2010 and 2012 being ‘import bottoms’ and 2011 and 2013 being ‘import peaks’.
Dejansko je v informacijah iz te pritožbe navedeno, da število naročil precej presega obseg prodaje.
In order to assess this claim, the imports from the countries concerned reported by Eurostat was examined over a longer time period.
Vendar teh podatkov ni mogoče neposredno primerjati, saj se o njih ne poroča na enaki podlagi.
For confidentiality reasons, the negligible imports from the Taiwanese exporting producer found not to be dumping have not been excluded.
Po začasnem razkritju je industrija Unije predložila dodatne informacije o primerljivosti teh podatkov kot odziv na to trditev.
They have however no impact on the trend shown in Table 4.
Pri primerjavi podatkov o naročilih in prodaji na primerljivi podlagi je ta razlika dejansko zanemarljiva.
Table 4
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
Import volumes from the countries concerned
Ker ni bilo drugih pripomb v zvezi z vzročno zvezo, se potrdijo drugi sklepi iz uvodnih izjav od 156 do 208 začasne uredbe.

INTERES UNIJE
Import volumes (tonnes)
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 209 začasne uredbe, je Komisija v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali bi lahko kljub ugotovljenemu škodljivemu dampingu jasno sklenila, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem primeru ni bilo v interesu Unije.
