In the Outokumpu Merger Decision, it was established that both the absolute nickel price level and the volatility of the nickel prices is likely to decrease the attractiveness of stainless steel as a material and drive the demand to non-nickel stainless steel [16].
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
As regards the attractiveness of stainless steel as a material, it was also argued that a number of trends might have a possible impact on substitution to/from stainless steel, including the need for using lighter materials, e.g. in cars (negative impact on stainless; move from steel to composites), shorter product life cycles in consumer goods (negative impact on stainless; cheaper materials are used), increased need for water treatment and green energy production (positive impact on stainless; hard to replace in many applications) and the development of the prices of possibly competing materials (iron ore, aluminium, copper) [17].
Dampinški uvoz po nizkih cenah iz zadevnih držav se je v času, ko se je večina dejavnikov škode industrije Unije (proizvodnja, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, tržni delež, zaposlenost, prodajne cene, stroški dela, dobičkonosnost, naložbe, donosnost naložb) zmanjšala, povečal v absolutnem in relativnem smislu v primerjavi s potrošnjo v Uniji.
In this respect, the present investigation has confirmed the findings of the Outokumpu Merger Decision [18] that the demand for stainless steel in general and SSCR in particular is fairly inelastic.
Dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav je v obdobju preiskave nelojalno znižal prodajne cene industrije Unije za 9,6–11,3 %.
The bulk of the growth of consumption took place between 2010 and 2011 when prices were increasing.
Drugi dejavniki, kot so stroški energije, zmogljivost in konkurenčni pogoji na trgu Unije, niso prispevali k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
During the period of decreasing prices from 2011 until the investigation period, the consumption remained stable and grew by only 1 %.
Dejavniki, kot sta uvoz iz tretjih držav in izvoz industrije Unije, so morda prispevali k škodi, vendar v zelo omejenem obsegu.
The substitution to/from stainless steel, including the factors mentioned above, did therefore not have a measurable impact on the total consumption of SSCR.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija začasno sklenila, da je znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav in da drugi posamično upoštevani dejavniki niso prekinili vzročne zveze.
As regards the shift of demand towards non-nickel grades of stainless steel which are also the like product, a detailed analysis of the sales transactions reported by the sampled Union producers confirms the findings of the Outokumpu Merger Decision.
Škoda se večinoma kaže v negotovem finančnem položaju industrije Unije ter upadu proizvodnje, izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, zaposlenosti in tržnega deleža.
However, as described in recital 138 above, the prices charged by the Union industry are directly linked to the steel grade and the corresponding raw material costs.
Komisija je opredelila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije in jih ločila od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
A shift of demand from one steel grade to the other therefore has a neutral impact on the performance of the Union industry.
Drug uvoz, izvoz industrije Unije, stroški energije, zmogljivost in konkurenčni pogoji so zelo omejeno ali sploh niso vplivali na negativno gibanje industrije Unije, kot se kaže v njenem finančnem položaju, proizvodnji in tržnem deležu.
It is therefore concluded at this stage that the changes of the patterns of consumption did not have a negative impact on the performance of the Union industry.
INTERES UNIJE
Conclusion on causation
V skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe je Komisija proučila, ali bi lahko kljub ugotovljenemu škodljivemu dampingu jasno sklenila, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
The low-priced dumped imports from the countries concerned increased both in absolute and relative to the consumption in the Union terms at the time when the most of the injury factors of the Union industry (production, capacity utilisation, market share, employment, sales prices, labour cost, profitability, investments, return on investments) deteriorated.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih zadevnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov in uporabnikov.
The dumped imports from the countries concerned undercut the Union industry prices by 9,6 % — 11,3 % during the investigation period.
Interes industrije Unije
Other factors such as energy cost, capacity and competition conditions in the Union market did not contribute to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Večina proizvajalcev industrije Unije se strinja z uvedbo ukrepov.
Factors like imports from other third countries and exports of the Union industry may have contributed to the injury but to a very limited extend.
Največji proizvajalec Unije ni sodeloval v preiskavi in ni nasprotoval pritožbi.
On the basis of the above, the Commission provisionally concluded that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from the countries concerned and the other factors considered individually did not break the causal link.
Šest proizvajalcev Unije, ki so predstavljali približno 55 % prodaje in proizvodnje v Uniji, je sodelovalo v preiskavi in se strinjalo s pritožbo.
The injury consists mainly of the fragile financial situation of the Union industry and the drop in production, capacity utilisation, employment and market share.
Industrija Unije je utrpela znatno škodo.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports.
Vsi finančni kazalniki (dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, donosnost naložb) so bili v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju večinoma negativni.
The effect of other imports, exports of the Union industry, energy cost, capacity and the competition conditions on the Union industry's negative developments in terms of its financial situation, production and market share was either very limited or non-existent.
Drugi kazalniki, kot so proizvodnja, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, zaposlenost in tržni delež, so se v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju gibali negativno.
UNION INTEREST
Industrija Unije je komaj ohranila nizek obseg prodaje po krizi in ni mogla izkoristiti rasti trga.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether it could clearly conclude that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case, despite the determination of injurious dumping.
Če se ukrepi ne uvedejo, bo dampinški uvoz iz zadevnih držav še naprej silil industrijo Unije v prodajo po cenah, ki ustvarjajo izgubo.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers and users.
Tako kopičenje dodatnih izgub bo nadalje poslabšalo njen položaj.
Interest of the Union industry
Zato je v interesu industrije Unije, da se ukrepi uvedejo.
The majority of the Union industry supports the imposition of measures.
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov in distributerjev
The largest Union producer did not cooperate with the investigation, but it did not oppose to the complaint.
Uvozniki in distributerji (vključno s storitvenimi centri za jeklarstvo) so bili v tej preiskavi zelo dejavni.
Six Union producers accounting for approximately 55 % of sales and production in the Union cooperated with the investigation and supported the complaint.
Javilo se je 31 uvoznikov in distributerjev, ki so nasprotovali uvedbi ukrepov.
The Union industry suffered material injury.
Trdili so, da bodo njihovi možni viri oskrbe z uvedbo ukrepov omejeni.
All financial indicators (profitability, cash-flow, return on investment) were mostly negative throughout the period considered.
Po njihovem mnenju bi se jim z uvedbo ukrepov onemogočilo pridobivanje hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz nerjavnega jekla iz LRK in Tajvana.
Other indicators such as production, capacity utilisation, employment and market share developed negatively throughout the period considered.
Vendar je preiskava pokazala, da vsi uvozniki in distributerji kupujejo od različnih virov, vključno z industrijo Unije, zadevnimi državami in drugimi tretjimi državami.
The Union industry just managed to maintain the low post-crisis sales volume and could not benefit from the market growth.
Zato so le nekoliko odvisni od oskrbe iz zadevnih držav.
In the absence of measures, the dumped imports from the countries concerned will continue to force Union industry to sell at loss-making prices.
Te strani lahko od industrije Unije in drugih držav, ki niso predmet preiskave (npr. Indije, Južne Afrike, Južne Koreje ali ZDA) in imajo 11-odstoten kumulativni tržni delež, še naprej kupujejo hladno valjane ploščate izdelke iz nerjavnega jekla.
This accumulation of additional losses will lead to a further deterioration of the situation of the Union industry.
Zato sta industrija Unije in uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav verodostojni alternativi kitajskemu in tajvanskemu uvozu.
It is therefore in the interest of the Union industry to impose the measures.
Iz tega razloga je v tej fazi sklenjeno, da uvedba ukrepov lahko le malo negativno vpliva na položaj nepovezanih uvoznikov in distributerjev.
Interest of unrelated importers and distributors
Interes uporabnikov
Importers and distributors (including steel service centres) were very active in this investigation.
Številne zainteresirane strani, vključno s proizvajalci izvozniki in distributerji, so izrazile pomisleke glede možnih negativnih učinkov ukrepov na uporabnike.
Thirty-one importers and distributors came forward and expressed opposition to the imposition of measures.
Uporabniki takih pomislekov niso imeli.
Importers and distributors claimed that their possible sources of supply will be limited by the imposition of measures.
Stopnja njihovega sodelovanja je bila v tem primeru zelo nizka.
They argued that if measures were imposed, they would no longer be able to source SSCR from the PRC and Taiwan.
Mnenje je izrazilo šest uporabnikov (vključno s skupino štirih družb), od katerih je le eden nasprotoval uvedbi ukrepov.
However, the investigation has shown that all importers and distributors buy from multiple sources including the Union industry, the countries concerned and other third countries.
Drugi uporabniki in njihova združenja niso sodelovali ali pa so se izrecno vzdržali mnenja.
They therefore only depend to a certain extent on supplies from the countries concerned.
Zato je začasno sklenjeno, da uvedba ukrepov ni v nasprotju z interesom uporabnikov.
These parties can continue to buy SSCR from the Union industry and from other countries not subject to this investigation (e.g. India, South Africa, South Korea or the USA), which cumulatively hold a market share of 11 %.
Komisija je v sklepu glede združitve družbe Outokumpu ugotovila, da bi predlagana združitev družb Outokumpu in Inoxum zaradi neusklajenih učinkov, ki bi jih povzročila, verjetno znatno ovirala učinkovito konkurenco in omogočila, da bi hladno valjani ploščati izdelki iz nerjavnega jekla prevzeli vodilni položaj na trgu Evropskega gospodarskega prostora (EGP) [19].
Both the Union industry and the imports from other third countries are therefore credible alternatives to Chinese and Taiwanese imports.
Da bi se ta ovira preprečila, se je Komisija strinjala, da odsvojitveni sveženj, vključno z družbo AST, zadostuje za odpravo pomislekov glede konkurence [20].
It is therefore concluded at this stage that the imposition of measures can only have a minor negative impact on the situation of unrelated importers and distributors.
Z rešitvijo, ki jo je sprejela Komisija, se je dejansko ohranilo število srednje velikih proizvajalcev Unije, tj. štiri.
Interest of users
Ta rešitev se je že izvedla in zdaj deluje v celoti.
A number of interested parties, including exporting producers and distributors raised concerns regarding possible negative effects of measures on users.
Poleg tega se z uvedbo protidampinških ukrepov ne zmanjša število srednje velikih proizvajalcev Unije.
Users themselves did not share these concerns.
Zato je v tej fazi sklenjeno, da uvedba ukrepov ne zmanjšuje ali odpravlja učinka obveznosti, ki jih je Komisija sprejela v sklepu glede združitve družbe Outokumpu.
Indeed, the degree of participation of users in this case was very low.
Sklep o interesu Unije
Six users (including one group of four companies) expressed an opinion, of which only one opposed the imposition of measures.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da v tej fazi preiskave ni utemeljenih razlogov, zaradi katerih uvedba ukrepov za uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK in Tajvana ne bi bila v interesu Unije.
Other users and their associations either did not participate or explicitly refrained from taking a position.
ZAČASNI PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of measures is not against the interest of users.
Glede na sklepe Komisije o dampingu, škodi, vzročni zvezi in interesu Unije bi bilo treba uvesti začasne ukrepe, da se prepreči, da bi dampinški uvoz še naprej povzročal škodo industriji Unije.
In the Outokumpu Merger Decision, the Commission established that the proposed Merger of Outokumpu and Inoxum would likely result in a significant impediment to effective competition through non-coordinated effects, by means of the creation of a dominant position in the European Economic Area (EEA) market for SSCR [19].
Stopnja odprave škode (stopnja škode)
To avoid such an impediment, the Commission accepted that a divestiture package including AST is sufficient to remedy the competition concerns [20].
Pri določitvi stopnje ukrepov je Komisija najprej določila višino dajatve, potrebne za odpravo škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Indeed, the remedy accepted by the Commission maintained the number of four medium-sized Union producers.
Škoda bi bila odpravljena, če bi industrija Unije lahko krila svoje stroške proizvodnje in ustvarila dobiček pred obdavčitvijo, ki bi ga taka industrija v tem sektorju od prodaje podobnega izdelka na trgu Unije lahko razumno ustvarila v običajnih konkurenčnih pogojih, tj. brez dampinškega uvoza.
This remedy has already been implemented and is now fully effective.
Kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 134, medtem ko je bil v okviru predhodne preiskave začasno ugotovljen damping za leto 2007, ni bilo mogoče vzpostaviti dejanske povezave med tem uvozom in položajem industrije Unije.
Also, the imposition of anti-dumping measures does not reduce the number of medium-sized Union producers.
Na podlagi tega je Komisija za industrijo Unije izračunala neškodljivo ceno podobnega izdelka tako, da je od prodajnih cen Unije odvzela dejansko izgubo v obdobju preiskave in dodala prej navedeno stopnjo dobička v višini 8,1 %.
It is therefore concluded at this stage that the imposition of measures is not reducing or eliminating the effect of the commitment accepted by the Commission in the Outokumpu Merger Decision.
Nato je na podlagi primerjave med tehtano povprečno uvozno ceno vzorčenih sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz zadevnih držav določila stopnjo odprave škode, kot je bila ugotovljena za izračune nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen, in tehtano povprečno neškodljivo ceno podobnega izdelka, ki so ga vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije v obdobju preiskave prodajali na trgu Unije.
Conclusion on Union interest
Kakršna koli razlika, ki izhaja iz te primerjave, je bila izražena kot odstotek tehtane povprečne uvozne vrednosti CIF.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that there were no compelling reasons that it was not in the Union interest to impose measures on imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC and Taiwan at this stage of the investigation.
Stopnja odprave škode za „druge sodelujoče družbe“ in za „vse druge družbe“ je opredeljena na enak način kot dampinška stopnja za te družbe (glej uvodne izjave 57, 60, 85 in 88).
PROVISIONAL ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Začasni ukrepi
On the basis of the conclusions reached by the Commission on dumping, injury, causation and Union interest, provisional measures should be imposed to prevent further injury being caused to the Union industry by the dumped imports.
Začasne protidampinške ukrepe bi bilo treba uvesti na uvoz hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz nerjavnega jekla s poreklom iz LRK in Tajvana v skladu s pravilom nižje dajatve iz člena 7(2) osnovne uredbe.
Injury elimination level (injury margin)
Komisija je primerjala stopnje škode in stopnje dampinga.
The injury would be eliminated if the Union industry was able to cover its costs of production and to obtain a profit before tax on sales of the like product in the Union market that could be reasonably achieved under normal conditions of competition by an industry of this type in the sector, namely in the absence of dumped imports.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 4, je Komisija z Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) št. 1331/2014 uvedla registracijo za uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK in Tajvana zaradi možne uporabe katerih koli protidampinških in izravnalnih ukrepov za nazaj v skladu s členom 10(4) osnovne uredbe in členom 16(4) Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 597/2009 z dne 11. junija 2009 o zaščiti proti subvencioniranemu uvozu iz držav, ki niso članice Evropske Skupnosti [21] („osnovna protisubvencijska uredba“).
The preceding years 2008 and 2009 were affected by a collapse in demand during the global economic crisis, and the profit achieved in these years can therefore not be considered to be achieved in normal conditions of competition.
Kar zadeva vzporedno protisubvencijsko preiskavo (glej uvodno izjavo 3), bi bilo treba v skladu s členom 24(5) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe registracijo uvoza iz LRK nadaljevati.
While the previous investigation as described in 134 above provisionally established existence of dumping for the year 2007, no material link between these imports and the situation of the Union industry could be established.
V tej fazi postopka še ni mogoče sprejeti odločitve o morebitni retroaktivni uporabi protidampinških ukrepov.
To that end, the target profit was set at 8,1 % which was the profit achieved by the Union industry in 2007.
Na podlagi navedenega bi morale biti začasne protidampinške stopnje dajatve, izražene kot cena CIF meja Unije brez plačane carine, naslednje:
This was the last representative year marked by normal conditions of competition before the collapse in demand in 2008 and 2009.
Stopnja dampinga
Indeed, the market size in 2013 almost reached the level of consumption in 2007.
Stopnja škode
On this basis, the Commission calculated a non-injurious price of the like product for the Union industry by removing from the Union sales prices the actual loss incurred during the investigation period and adding the above-mentioned profit margin of 8,1 %.
Začasna protidampinška dajatev
The Commission then determined the injury elimination level on the basis of a comparison of the weighted average import price of the sampled cooperating exporting producers in the countries concerned, as established for the price undercutting calculations, with the weighted average non-injurious price of the like product sold by the sampled Union producers on the Union market during the investigation period.
LRK
Any difference resulting from this comparison was expressed as a percentage of the weighted average import CIF value.
Baosteel Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.
The injury elimination level for ‘other cooperating companies’ and for ‘all other companies’ is defined in the same manner as the dumping margin for these companies (see recitals 57, 60, 85 and 88 above).
Ningbo Baoxin Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.
Provisional measures
Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.
Provisional anti-dumping measures should be imposed on imports of stainless steel cold-rolled flat products originating in the PRC and Taiwan, in accordance with the lesser duty rule under Article 7(2) of the basic Regulation.
Tianjin TISCO & TPCO Stainless Steel Co Ltd.
The Commission compared the injury margins and the dumping margins.
Tang Eng Iron Works Co., Ltd.
The amount of the duty rates should be set at the level of the lower of the dumping and the injury margins.
Stopnje protidampinških dajatev za posamezne družbe, navedene v tej uredbi, so bile določene na podlagi ugotovitev te preiskave.
As mentioned in recital 4 above the Commission made imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC and Taiwan subject to registration by Regulation (EU) No 1331/2014 in view of the possible retroactive application of any anti-dumping and countervailing measures under Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation and Article 16(4) of Council Regulation (EC) No 597/2009 of 11 June 2009 on protection against subsidised imports from countries not members of the European Community [21] (‘basic anti-subsidy Regulation’).
Zato so izražale položaj teh družb, ki je bil ugotovljen med to preiskavo.
As far as the current anti-dumping investigation is concerned and in view of the above findings, the registration of imports for the purpose of the anti-dumping investigation in accordance with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation should be discontinued.
Te stopnje dajatev veljajo izključno za uvoz zadevnega izdelka, ki ima poreklo v zadevnih državah in ki so ga proizvedle poimensko navedene pravne osebe.
As far as the parallel anti-subsidy investigation is concerned (see recital 3 above), the registration of imports from the PRC pursuant to Article 24(5) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation should continue.
Za uvoz zadevnega izdelka, ki ga proizvaja katera koli druga družba, ki ni posebej navedena v izvedbenem delu te uredbe, vključno s subjekti, povezanimi s tistimi, ki so izrecno navedeni, bi morala veljati stopnja dajatve, ki se uporablja za „vse druge družbe“.
No decision on a possible retro-active application of anti-dumping measures can be taken at this stage of the proceeding.
Zanje se ne smejo uporabljati nobene individualne stopnje protidampinške dajatve.
On the basis of the above, the provisional anti-dumping duty rates, expressed on the CIF Union border price, customs duty unpaid, should be as follows:
Družba lahko zahteva uporabo teh posameznih protidampinških dajatev, če naknadno spremeni ime.
Dumping margin
Zahtevek je treba nasloviti na Komisijo [22].
Injury margin
Vsebovati mora vse relevantne informacije, s katerimi je mogoče dokazati, da sprememba ne vpliva na upravičenost družbe do stopnje dajatve, ki se zanjo uporablja.
Provisional anti-dumping duty
Če sprememba imena družbe ne vpliva na upravičenost družbe do stopnje dajatve, ki se zanjo uporablja, se v Uradnem listu Evropske unije objavi obvestilo o spremembi imena.
PRC
Da se zagotovi ustrezno izvrševanje protidampinških dajatev, bi bilo treba protidampinško stopnjo dajatev za „vse druge družbe“ uporabljati za nesodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike v tej preiskavi in za proizvajalce, ki v obdobju preiskave niso izvažali v Unijo.
Baosteel Stainless Steel Co., Ltd
Od 26. marca 2015 začasna protidampinška dajatev zagotavlja zaščito proti dampinškemu uvozu.
Ningbo Baoxin Stainless Steel Co., Ltd
Zato za zaščito proti dampinškemu uvozu registracija uvoza ni več potrebna.
Shanxi Taigang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd
Člen 1(1) Uredbe (EU) št. 1331/2014 je treba zato ustrezno spremeniti.
Tianjin TISCO & TPCO Stainless Steel Co Ltd
KONČNE DOLOČBE
Tang Eng Iron Works Co., Ltd
Komisija bo v interesu dobrega upravljanja zainteresirane strani pozvala, naj ji v določenem roku predložijo pisne pripombe in/ali zaprosijo za zaslišanje pred Komisijo in/ali pooblaščencem za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih.
The individual company anti-dumping duty rates specified in this Regulation were established on the basis of the findings of this investigation.
Ugotovitve v zvezi z uvedbo začasne dajatve so začasne in jih bo treba v dokončni fazi preiskave morda spremeniti –
Therefore, they reflected the situation found during this investigation with respect to these companies.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJO UREDBO:
