Imports from South Africa and the USA show a decreasing trend throughout the period considered.
Medtem ko se je tržni delež iz zadevnih držav v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 3,7 odstotne točke, je bil celotni tržni delež uvoza iz tretjih držav, razen zadevnih držav, v obravnavanem obdobju stabilen in se je povečal samo za 0,2 odstotne točke.
The market share of South African imports decreased from 2,1 % to 1,6 % while the market share of USA imports decreased from 3,0 % to 2,8 %.
Ker je bil trend obsega uvoza stabilen, je Komisija začasno sklenila, da uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav ni bistveno prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Concerning prices based on Eurostat, it can be observed that only the South Korean import price was lower than the import price of the PRC and Taiwan, while imports from South Africa had similar prices and imports from India and the USA higher prices.
Izvoz industrije Unije
It should be noted nevertheless that the product concerned/like product consists of various steel grades leading to significant price differences that could not be taken into account in the average price from Eurostat.
Obseg izvoza vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Interested parties referred to imports from other third countries, including the USA, South Korea, India and South Africa.
Preglednica 16
They claimed that those imports must have influenced the situation of the Union industry and since there are substantial imports from other third countries, not subject to the Commission's investigation, imports from the PRC and Taiwan should not be found responsible for any injury caused by imports from other countries.
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije
As described above, in the investigation period, among other countries being sources of SSCR imports to the Union, Taiwan and the PRC have the highest market shares (5,1 % and 4,3 %, respectively).
Obseg izvoza (v tonah)
No other country's imports exceeded a 3 % market share during the period considered.
Obseg izvoza in prodajna cena vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije sta se po enkratnem povečanju v letu 2011 zmanjšala.
Also, while the market share from the countries concerned increased by 3,7 percentage points during the period considered, altogether the market share of imports from third countries other than the countries concerned remained stable increasing by only 0,2 percentage points during the period considered.
Na splošno je obseg izvoza vzorčenih proizvajalcev predstavljal približno 12 % njihove soproizvodnje.
Due to the stable trend in import volumes, the Commission thus provisionally concluded that imports from other third countries did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry to any significant degree.
Čeprav je manjši uvoz morda prispeval k upadu proizvodnje glede na nizko raven uvoza v povezavi s prodajo v Uniji, bi bil vsakršen prispevek uvoza k škodi, ki jo je utrpela Unija, zelo omejen.
Export performance of the Union industry
Stroški energije, presežna zmogljivost
The volume of exports of the sampled Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Zainteresirane strani so trdile, da so škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povzročili visoki stroški energije, ki naj bi bili za 20 % višji kot v LRK.
Table 16
Vendar je energija le manjši stroškovni dejavnik pri proizvodnji hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz nerjavnega jekla in običajno predstavlja manj kot 10 % vseh stroškov.
Export performance of the sampled Union producers
Če se odmisli vprašanje, ali stroški energije v LRK izražajo tržno vrednost ali ne, razlika v ceni energije ni mogla povzročiti škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Export volume (tonnes)
Zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je industrija Unije v nasprotju z informacijami iz pritožbe trpela zaradi znatne presežne zmogljivosti.
The export volumes of the sampled Union producers are decreasing after single increase in 2011 in both volumes and sales prices.
Komisija je ugotovila, da se je izkoriščenost zmogljivosti industrije Unije zmanjšala s 77 % v letu 2010 na 70 % v obravnavanem obdobju.
Overall the export volumes of the sampled producers represented around 12 % of their combined production.
Vendar se je proizvodna zmogljivost industrije Unije gibala vzporedno s potrošnjo na trgu Unije, pri čemer sta se v obravnavanem obdobju obe povečali za 4 %.
Although the decreased exports may have contributed to the drop in production, given the low level of exports in relation to sales in the Union, any contribution of exports to the injury suffered by the Union industry would be very limited.
Manjša izkoriščenost zmogljivosti je zato posledica nezmožnosti industrije Unije, da bi izkoristila rastoči trg, saj je to rast absorbiral dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav.
Energy cost, overcapacity
Zato je domnevna presežna zmogljivost bolj posledica dampinškega uvoza kot vzrok škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Interested parties claimed that the injury suffered by the Union industry was due to high energy costs, which are said to be 20 % higher than in the PRC.
Komisija je sklenila, da stroški energije in domnevna presežna zmogljivost industrije Unije niso mogli povzročiti nastale škode.
However, energy is only a minor cost factor for the production of SSCR, typically accounting for less that 10 % of total costs.
Pomisleki glede konkurence
Leaving aside the issue whether energy costs in the PRC reflect market values or not, the price difference for energy cannot have caused the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zainteresirane strani so trdile, da se je uvoz hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz nerjavnega jekla iz LRK zaradi skrčenja zmogljivosti v Uniji na majhno število dobaviteljev povečal in s tem uporabnikom v Uniji omejil število proizvajalcev Unije.
Interested parties claimed that contrary to the information provided in the complaint, the Union industry suffered from significant overcapacity.
Vendar so bili v zadnjih desetih letih na trgu Unije vedno prisotni štirje srednje veliki in številni manjši dobavitelji.
The Commission observed capacity utilisation of the Union Industry decreasing from 77 % in 2010 to 70 % in the period considered.
Medtem ko se je lastništvo nekaterih od teh družb v navedenem obdobju spremenilo, je število dobaviteljev ostalo nespremenjeno.
However, the production capacity of the Union industry and the consumption on the Union market developed in parallel, both increasing by 4 % during the period considered.
Zato povečanja dampinškega uvoza s Kitajske ni moglo povzročiti zmanjšanje števila dobaviteljev v Uniji.
The loss in capacity utilisation is therefore caused by the inability of the Union industry to take advantage of the growing market, as this growth was absorbed by dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je bil trg Unije močno koncentriran in uvoz iz zadevnih držav ni mogel povzročiti škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The resulting alleged overcapacity is therefore more a result of the dumped imports than a cause of the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Trdile so, da obseg uvoza iz Azije ni bil tolikšen, da bi oviral konkurenco, in industriji Unije ni mogel preprečiti zvišanja cen.
The Commission concluded that both the Union industry's energy cost and the alleged overcapacity could not have caused the injury it suffered.
Zainteresirane strani so se v zvezi s tem sklicevale na sklep Komisije o združitvi, da se odobri združitev (ki nalaga obveznosti) družb Outokumpu in Inoxum [10] novembra 2012 („sklep glede združitve družbe Outokumpu“).
Competition concerns
Vendar analiza v postopku združitve in protidampinški preiskavi zadeva različne pravne okvire, ki imajo različne cilje.
Interested parties claimed that imports of SSCR from the PRC have risen in response to the concentration of capacities in the Union down to a small number of suppliers, where the users in the Union were left with a limited number of Union producers.
Medtem ko se v postopku združitve proučuje, ali bi se s predlagano združitvijo povečali pomisleki glede konkurence, se v protidampinški preiskavi ugotavlja, ali je industrija Unije izpostavljena škodljivemu dampingu.
However, in the last 10 years there have always been four medium-sized and a number of smaller suppliers on the Union market.
V vsakem primeru se je v okviru sklepa glede združitve družbe Outokumpu preiskovalo, ali bi se s pridobitvijo družbe Inoxum s strani družbe Outokumpu ustvaril prevladujoč akter na trgu Unije.
While the ownership of some of these companies has changed during that period, the number of suppliers has remained stable.
Združeni subjekt, sestavljen iz družb Outokumpu in Inoxum, bi imel več kot 50-odstotni kombinirani tržni delež, število glavnih proizvajalcev pa bi se zmanjšalo s štiri na tri.
Therefore, the increase in dumped Chinese imports cannot have been caused by a reduction in the number of suppliers in the Union.
S sklepom glede združitve je bila družba Outokumpu prisiljena k odprodaji dela družbe Inoxum, vključno s produkcijsko družbo Acciai Speciali Terni („AST“).
Interested parties claimed that the Union market was highly concentrated and imports from the countries concerned could not have caused any injury suffered by the Union industry.
Namen te odprodaje je bil prav ohraniti konkurenco na trgu hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz nerjavnega jekla v Uniji, vendar se načrt, da se združenemu subjektu (ki vključuje družbo Outokumpu in vsa sredstva družbe Inoxum, vključno z družbo AST) zagotovi več kot 50-odstotni tržni delež na trgu Unije, ni nikoli uresničil.
They claimed that the volume of imports from Asia was insufficient to constrain competition and could not prevent Union industry from increasing its prices.
Namesto tega med seboj še vedno konkurirajo štirje srednje veliki in številni manjši akterji, vendar nihče od njih nima tržne moči, ki bi jo imel predlagani združeni subjekt iz analize zadeve o združitvi.
In this regard, the same parties made reference to the Commission's merger decision to approve the merger (subject to commitments) between Outokumpu and Inoxum [10] in November 2012 (the ‘Outokumpu Merger Decision’).
Zainteresirane strani so se sklicevale tudi na razpravo v okviru sklepa glede združitve družbe Outokumpu v zvezi z dejstvom, da azijski uvoz v obdobjih, ko je bil ta zaradi nihanja cen niklja, menjalnih tečajev in nizkih cen niklja na londonski borzi kovin manj konkurenčen, ni omejeval proizvajalcev Unije.
However, the analysis in a merger procedure and an anti-dumping investigation concern different legal frameworks which have different objectives.
V sklepu glede združitve družbe Outokumpu je bilo ugotovljeno, da „četudi omejitev uvoza za zdaj ni velika, se bo v prihodnje povečala“ [11], kar je privedlo do ocene verjetnega razvoja trga.
While a merger procedure analyses whether a proposed merger would raise competition concerns, an anti-dumping investigation analyses whether the Union industry is exposed to injurious dumping.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da je povpraševanje na trgu Unije primerljivo stabilno tudi ob znatnem nihanju cen, ne pomeni, da kupci niso občutljivi na ceno.
In any event, in the framework of the Outokumpu Merger Decision, it was examined whether the acquisition of Inoxum by Outokumpu would lead to a dominant player on the Union market.
Medtem ko nižje cene, ki jih ponudijo izvozniki, ne vodijo v večjo potrošnjo, je preiskava jasno pokazala, da so kupci pripravljeni kupiti večjo količino uvoza blaga po nizki ceni.
The combined entity of Outokumpu and Inoxum would have held a combined market share of over 50 % and reduced the number of main producers from four to three.
Ker se potrošnja zaradi uvoza blaga po nizkih cenah ne poveča, ta prodaja škoduje prodaji drugih akterjev na trgu, večinoma industriji Unije.
This merger decision obliged Outokumpu to divest part of Inoxum including the production company Acciai Speciali Terni (‘AST’).
Preiskava je potrdila, da industrija Unije prodaja širši izbor izdelkov kot sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki.
The aim of this divestiture was precisely to maintain competition on the SSCR market in the Union, and the planned merged entity (Outokumpu and all assets of Inoxum including AST) holding a market share of above 50 % on the Union market never materialised.
Vendar je bilo v obdobju preiskave približno 75 % prodaje industrije Unije povezane s štirimi najobičajnejšimi vrstami jekla (304, 304L, 316L in 430).
Instead, there are still four medium-sized players and a number of smaller players competing with each other without any of these parties holding the level of market power that the proposed merged entity analysed in the merger case would have held.
Te vrste jelka izvozniki iz zadevnih držav prodajajo v različni širini, debelini in končni obdelavi.
Interested parties also referred to the discussion in the Outokumpu Merger Decision of the fact that Union producers were not restricted by Asian imports during those periods of time when fluctuations in nickel prices, currency exchange rate and low LME nickel prices made Asian imports less competitive.
Poleg tega izdelki, ki ne sodijo v to vrsto osnovnih izdelkov, neposredno konkurirajo med seboj, saj so jih prodajali tudi izvozniki iz zadevnih držav.
The current investigation has shown the following: dumped imports from the countries concerned reached in the investigation period a market share of 9,5 % and increased by 70 % compared to 2010.
V sklepu glede združitve družbe Outokumpu je bilo ugotovljeno, da se v povprečju kakovost, ki jo zagotavljajo neevropski proizvajalci, lahko šteje za primerljivo s tisto, ki jo zagotavljajo evropski proizvajalci [12], in da stranke s posebnimi zahtevami ne morejo kupovati v Aziji [13].
It was also established that these dumped imports undercut the Union industry prices by 9,6 % — 11,3 %.
Kot pa je opisano zgoraj, velika večina prodaje industrije Unije obsega osnovne izdelke primerljive kakovosti.
In addition, the fact that the demand on the Union market is comparably stable even in case of significant price fluctuations does not mean that buyers are not price sensitive.
Druge težave, ki nekaterim strankam preprečujejo, da bi kupovale uvožene hladno valjane ploščate izdelke iz nerjavnega jekla, so tudi daljši dobavni rok zaradi dolgotrajnega prevoza iz zadevnih držav in manj ugodni plačilni pogoji, ki jih nudijo proizvajalci v zadevnih državah.
While lower prices offered by exporters do not lead to increased consumption on the Union market, the investigation has clearly shown that buyers are willing to purchase increasing quantities of low-priced imports.
Vendar so te težave večinoma pomembne za stranke, ki kupujejo neposredno iz proizvodnega obrata, kar predstavlja le približno tretjino trga Unije.
As these low-priced imports do not generate any additional demand, these sales are at the expense of the sales of other market players, mainly at the expense of the Union industry.
Hkrati večina prodaje, ki je potekala prek storitvenih centrov za jeklarstvo, predstavlja približno dve tretjini trga Unije.
The investigation has confirmed that the Union industry sells a wider product range than the cooperating exporting producers.
Dejansko skoraj vsa prodaja iz zadevnih držav poteka prek neodvisnih storitvenih centrov, ki kupujejo tudi od industrije Unije.
However, during the investigation period around 75 % of the Union industry's sales related to the four most common steel grades (304, 304L, 316L and 430).
V tem primeru so plačilni pogoji distributerja pomembni za uporabnika.
All these grades are sold by the exporters from the countries concerned in a large variety of widths, thicknesses and finishes.
Ker ta prodaja običajno poteka iz distributerjevih zalog, ustrezni dobavni rok vključuje tudi čas, potreben, da se blago prepelje od distributerja k uporabniku.
Also products beyond these commodity grades are in direct competition as they were also sold by the exporters from the countries concerned.
Zato na večino prodaje te težave ne vplivajo.
None of the interested parties has raised any issues concerning product quality in the present investigation.
Vendar na večino prodaje industrije Unije neposredno vpliva dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav.
The Outokumpu Merger Decision has established that while on average the quality produced by the non-European producers can be considered comparable with that of European producers [12], it also has identified that customers with specific requirements cannot purchase in Asia [13].
Komisija je zato sklenila, da konkurenčni pogoji v Uniji niso mogli preprečiti, da bi dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav povzročil škodo industriji Unije.
However, as described above, the vast majority of the Union industry's sales are commodity products where quality is comparable.
Učinek cen surovin
Other issues preventing some customers from buying imported SSCR are the longer lead times due to the long transport from the countries concerned and the less favourable payment terms offered by producers in the countries concerned.
Zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je odločitev o nakupu zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz zadevnih držav ali podobnega izdelka, ki ga proizvede industrija Unije, odvisna od gibanja cen surovin, zlasti niklja.
However, these issues are mainly relevant for the customers buying directly from the mill, which accounts only for around one third of the Union market.
To je zato, ker izvozniki zaračunavajo enotno ceno, industrija Unije pa osnovno ceno, povečano za dodatno dajatev na zlitine.
At the same time, the majority of sales were made via steel service centres, which account for around two thirds of the Union market.
Zato bi bilo za uvoznike domnevno ugodneje, če bi kupovali iz zadevnih držav, kadar se cene surovin zvišajo (saj bodo cene industrije Unije popravljene navzgor, medtem ko bodo cene izvoznikov nespremenjene).
Indeed, almost all sales from the countries concerned are made via independent service centres, which also buy from the Union industry.
Če pa se cene surovin znižajo, bi bilo za uvoznike domnevno manj ugodno kupovati iz zadevnih držav (saj se bodo cene industrije Unije znižale, medtem ko bodo cene izvoznikov nespremenjene).
In this case, the payment term offered by the distributor is relevant for the user.
V sklepu glede združitve družbe Outokumpu je bil analiziran vpliv pričakovanega gibanja cen niklja na odločitve uvoznikov o nakupu [14].
As these sales are typically made from the stock of the distributor, the relevant lead time is also the time needed to ship the goods from the distributor to the user.
V sedanji preiskavi je bilo analizirano, ali je gibanje uvoza zares sledilo gibanju dejanskih cen niklja in prej opisanemu vzorcu.
Therefore, the majority of the sales is not affected by these issues.
Cene niklja [15] so se znižale za 31 %, in sicer s 16453 EUR/tono v letu 2010 na 11327 EUR/tono v obdobju preiskave.
Therefore, the majority of sales of the Union industry are directly affected by the dumped imports from the countries concerned.
Po trditvi zainteresiranih strani, ki je opisana v uvodni izjavi 196, bi se moral uvoz iz zadevnih držav zaradi znižanja cen niklja zmanjšati.
The Commission therefore concluded that the competition conditions in the Union could not have prevented the dumped imports for the countries concerned to cause injury to the Union industry.
Vendar je preiskava pokazala, da se je izvoz iz zadevnih držav kljub znatnemu znižanju cen niklja v istem obdobju povečal za 70 %, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 104.
Effect of raw material prices
Medtem ko je gibanje cen surovin morda nekoliko vplivalo na gibanje obsega uvoza, so drugi dejavniki, kot je nizka raven cen proizvajalcev izvoznikov, očitno zelo prevladali nad tem vplivom.
Interested parties claimed that the decision whether to buy the product concerned originating in the countries concerned or the like product produced by the Union industry is driven by the development of raw material prices, in particular nickel.
Zato se šteje, da gibanje cen niklja v obravnavanem obdobju ni trajno vplivalo na splošno naraščajoči trend dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
This is because the exporters charge a single price and the Union industry charges a base price plus alloy surcharge.
Spremembe potrošniških navad
Therefore, it would allegedly more beneficial for importers to buy from the countries concerned when raw material prices increase (as the Union industry's prices will be revised upwards while the exporters' prices will remain stable).
V sklepu glede združitve družbe Outokumpu je bilo ugotovljeno, da bi tako absolutna raven kot spremenljivost cen niklja utegnili zmanjšati privlačnost nerjavnega jekla kot materiala in povpraševanje usmeriti k nerjavnemu jeklu brez vsebnosti niklja [16].
On the other hand, if raw material prices decrease, it would allegedly be less beneficial for importers to buy from the countries concerned (as the Union industry's prices will decrease while the exporters' prices will remain stable).
Glede privlačnosti nerjavnega jekla kot materiala se je trdilo tudi, da številni trendi lahko vplivajo na zamenjavo nerjavnega jekla z drugimi materiali ali obratno, vključno s potrebo po uporabi lažjih materialov, npr. pri avtomobilih (negativen vpliv na nerjavno jeklo; nadomestitev jekla s kompoziti), krajšo življenjsko dobo izdelkov za široko porabo (negativen vpliv na nerjavno jeklo; uporaba cenejših materialov), večjo potrebo po čiščenju vode in proizvodnji zelene energije (pozitiven vpliv na nerjavno jeklo; težko nadomestljivo na številnih področjih uporabe) in gibanjem cen materialov, ki bi lahko bili konkurenčni (železova ruda, aluminij, baker) [17].
In the Outokumpu Merger Decision, the impact of the expected development of the nickel price on the purchasing decisions of importers was analysed [14].
V zvezi s tem je sedanja preiskava potrdila ugotovitve iz sklepa glede združitve družbe Outokumpu [18], da je povpraševanje po nerjavnem jeklu na splošno, zlasti pa po hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkih iz nerjavnega jekla, precej neprožno.
In the present investigation, it was analysed whether the development of imports did indeed follow the development of actual nickel prices and follow the pattern described above.
Potrošnja se je večinoma povečala med letoma 2010 in 2011, ko so se cene višale.
Nickel prices [15] dropped by 31 % from 16453 EUR/tonne 2010 to 11327 EUR/tonne during the investigation period.
V obdobju nižanja cen, tj. od leta 2011 do obdobja preiskave, je bila potrošnja stabilna in se je povečala za samo 1 %.
According to the claim put forward by interested parties described in recital 196 above, this decrease in nickel prices should have led to a decrease of imports from the countries concerned.
Zato zamenjava nerjavnega jekla z drugimi materiali in obratno, vključno s prej navedenimi dejavniki, ni imela izmerljivega vpliva na skupno potrošnjo hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz nerjavnega jekla.
The investigation has however shown that despite the significant decrease in nickel prices, exports from the countries concerned have increased by 70 % during the same period, as described in recital 104 above.
Kar zadeva premik povpraševanja k vrstam nerjavnega jekla brez vsebnosti niklja, ki so prav tako podobni izdelek, podrobna analiza prodajnih transakcij, o katerih so poročali vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije, potrjuje ugotovitve iz sklepa glede združitve družbe Outokumpu.
While the development of raw material prices may have had some effect on the development of import volumes, other factors such as the low price level of the exporting producers have clearly outweighed this effect.
Kot pa je opisano v uvodni izjavi 138, so cene, ki jih zaračunava industrija Unije, neposredno vezane na vrsto jekla in stroške ustreznih surovin.
The development of nickel prices is therefore considered to not have a lasting impact on the overall increasing trend of dumped imports from the countries concerned during the period considered.
Premik povpraševanja od ene vrste jekla k drugi tako ni izrazito vplival na uspešnost industrije Unije.
Changes in the patterns of consumption
Zato je bilo v tej fazi sklenjeno, da spremembe potrošniških navad niso negativno vplivale na uspešnost industrije Unije.
