As the total imports of the product under investigation into the Union decreased, the market share of the Taiwanese imports into the Union of the product under investigation increased from 9 % in 2012 to 22 % in the RP (+ 147 % increase).
Izvoz sončnih celic in modulov iz tajvanskih OPT v Unijo; enota:
The data above shows that, since the original investigation was launched in 2012 and the measures in force were imposed in 2013, the imports of solar cells and modules from Taiwan have to some extent replaced the imports into the Union of the product concerned form the PRC.
Izvoz iz tajvanskih OPT v Unijo
Chinese exports to Taiwan
Sprememba v vzorcu trgovanja med Tajvanom in LRK postane pri modulih še znatnejša, če se analizira ločeno od celic.
The Taiwanese authorities provided statistics reporting the imports and exports of solar cells and modules from free trade zones and bonded warehouses (henceforth ‘FTZs’).
Od uvoženih 213 MW sta bila v EU izvožena 202 MW.
In Taiwan it is prohibited to import solar cells and modules from the PRC.
Zato je v letu 2014 po podatkih zbirke Comext izvoz modulov, ki so prvotno imeli kitajsko poreklo, iz tajvanskih OPT v EU predstavljal najmanj 24 % celotnega tajvanskega izvoza modulov v EU.
For this reason the Chinese solar cells and modules and other key components can only enter into FTZs, to be later re-exported or be used as a raw material in another product to be re-exported.
Zato je v letu 2014 po podatkih zbirke Comext izvoz celic s kitajskim poreklom iz tajvanskih OPT predstavljal 2 % celotnega tajvanskega izvoza celic v EU.
The Commission notes that almost all the imports of cells and modules into the FTZs were from China.
Glede na to, da se kitajski zadevni izdelek ne sme prodajati v Tajvanu, ni nobene druge utemeljitve za njegov uvoz iz LRK v Tajvan, razen pretovarjanja ali dejavnosti sestavljanja / končne izdelave za ponovni izvoz kitajskih ključnih komponent iz Tajvana.
The data was provided for the years 2012, 2013 and 2014.
Sklep glede spremembe vzorca trgovanja v Tajvanu
The reporting period covers three quarters of the 2014 and one quarter of 2015, therefore it is unlikely that the trend would be significantly different between the year 2014 and the RP.
Zmanjšanje kitajskega izvoza sončnih celic in modulov ter vzporedno povečanje izvoza iz LRK v Tajvan in izvoza iz Tajvana v Unijo po prvotni preiskavi, ki je bila uvedena leta 2012, in uvedbi veljavnih ukrepov leta 2013, pomenita spremembo v vzorcu trgovanja med tema državama na eni in Unijo na drugi strani.
Table 7 shows the volume of imports of the solar cells and modules from the PRC into the Taiwanese free trade zones and bonded warehouses in the investigation period:
Narava izogibanja ukrepom v Tajvanu
Table 7
Uvoz izdelka v preiskavi v Unijo je po podatkih zbirke Comext v obdobju preiskave predstavljal več kot 38 % celotnega uvoza iz Tajvana.
Imports of solar cells and modules from the PRC into the Taiwanese FTZs, unit:
Nesodelujoče družbe so v istem obdobju opravile 11 % vsega uvoza celic iz Tajvana v Unijo.
PRC to Taiwan FTZs
Za vse proizvajalce celic, ki so sodelovali v preiskavi, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so resnični.
Table 8
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 85, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so nekatere družbe v Tajvanu v svoja carinska skladišča uvažale laminirane sončne module (imenovane tudi sončni paneli) in da je bil vsaj del teh laminiranih sončnih panelov deklariran kot sončne celice.
Exports of solar cells and modules from the Taiwanese FTZs into the Union, unit:
Laminirani sončni modul je skoraj dokončan modul, ki vsebuje 60 ali 72 celic.
Table 7 shows a steep increase of imports of solar cells and modules into Taiwan after the original investigation was launched in 2012 and the measures in force were imposed in 2013.
Zato je treba laminirane sončne module deklarirati kot sončne module.
Table 8 clearly shows that most of the Chinese product concerned was re-exported to the Union.
To pomeni, da je bil vsaj del kitajskih celic, uvoženih v tajvanska območja proste trgovine in carinska skladišča, v resnici laminiranih sončnih modulov, in bi morale biti deklarirane kot moduli.
The change in the pattern of trade between Taiwan and the PRC becomes even more significant for modules if they are analysed separately from cells.
Kot je omenjeno v uvodni izjavi 55, je izvoz modulov, ki so imeli prvotno kitajsko poreklo, iz tajvanskih OPT predstavljal vsaj 24 % tajvanskega uvoza modulov v EU.
The imports of modules from China into the Taiwanese FTZs increased from nearly 0 MW in 2012 to 213 MW in 2014.
Komisija je zato ugotovila, da je moral biti velik del modulov, poslanih iz LRK, prek Tajvana pretovorjen v Unijo.
Almost all the imports into the FTZs were from China.
Poleg tega je OLAF leta 2014 začel preiskavo v zvezi z domnevnim pretovarjanjem sončnih celic in modulov prek Tajvana.
Out of those 213 MW imported 202 MW were exported to the EU.
Ta preiskava še poteka.
Therefore, the exports of modules, which originally had Chinese origin from the Taiwanese FTZs accounted for at least 24 % of total Taiwanese exports of modules to the EU in 2014 as reported by Comext.
Tajvanski organi so poleg tega hkrati opravili preiskave v zvezi z domnevnimi praksami izogibanja ukrepom in sklenili, da je več družb, zlasti trgovcev, s ponareditvijo porekla sončnih modulov zagrešilo goljufijo.
The imports of cells from China into the Taiwanese FTZs increased from nearly 0 MW in 2012 to 71 MW in 2014.
Glede na zgoraj navedene premisleke je obstoj pretovarjanja izdelka v preiskavi prek Tajvana torej potrjen.
20 MW was reported as exported to the EU.
Nezadosten vzrok ali gospodarska upravičenost, z izjemo uvedbe protidampinške dajatve
Therefore, the exports of cells of Chinese origin from the Taiwanese FTZs accounted for 2 % of total Taiwanese exports of cells to the EU in 2014 as reported by Comext.
S preiskavo ni bil za pretovarjanje razen izogibanja veljavnim ukrepom za sončne celice in module s poreklom iz Kitajske ugotovljen noben drug ustrezen vzrok ali gospodarska upravičenost.
As the Chinese product concerned cannot be sold in Taiwan, there is no other justification for their import from China into Taiwan than for the purposes of transhipment or assembly/completion operations to re-export Chinese key components outside of Taiwan.
Razen dajatve ni bilo nikakršnih elementov, ki bi lahko šteli kot nadomestilo za stroške pretovarjanja ali uvoza in izvoza fotonapetostnih celic ali modulov iz kristalnega silicija, zlasti ne glede prevoza in ponovnega natovarjanja iz LRK prek Malezije in Tajvana.
Conclusion on the change in the pattern of trade in Taiwan
Dokazi o dampingu
The decrease of Chinese exports of solar cells and modules and the parallel increase of exports from the PRC to Taiwan and of exports from Taiwan to the Union after the original investigation was launched in 2012 and the measures in force were imposed in 2013 constitute a change in the pattern of trade between the above mentioned countries on the one hand and the Union on the other hand.
Na koncu je bilo v skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe preučeno, ali obstajajo dokazi o dampingu v zvezi z normalno vrednostjo, predhodno določeno v prvotni preiskavi za podobni izdelek.
Nature of the circumvention practice in Taiwan
V prvotni uredbi je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi cen v Indiji, za katero je bilo v navedeni preiskavi ugotovljeno, da je za LRK ustrezna primerljiva država.
The imports of the product under investigation into the Union accounted for more than 38 % of total imports from Taiwan in the investigation period as reported by Comext.
Zdelo se je ustrezno uporabiti normalno vrednost, kakor je bila predhodno določena v skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe.
The imports into the Union of cells by the non-cooperating companies constituted 11 % of total imports of cells from Taiwan in the same period.
Znatni delež malezijskega in tajvanskega izvoza so opravili nesodelujoči izvozniki ali sodelujoči izvozniki, ki so predložili zavajajoče informacije.
At the same time, as indicated in recital (56) the exports of cells of Chinese origin from the Taiwanese FTZs into the Union accounted for only 2 % of Taiwanese imports of cells into the Union as reported by Comext in 2014.
Tajvanske in malezijske povprečne izvozne cene sončnih celic in modulov so bile v obdobju poročanja krepko pod normalno vrednostjo, določeno v prvotni preiskavi, kar dokazuje obstoj znatnega dampinga.
Moreover, as explained in recital (85) some companies in Taiwan were found to import laminated solar modules (also known as laminated solar panels) into their bonded warehouses and at least some of those laminated solar panels were declared as solar cells.
Slabitev popravljalnega učinka protidampinške dajatve
Laminated solar module is an almost finished module, containing either 60 or 72 cells.
Za oceno, ali so uvoženi izdelki v smislu količin in cen oslabili popravljalne učinke obstoječih ukrepov glede uvoza fotonapetostnih modulov ali panelov iz kristalnega silicija ter celic, kakršne se uporabljajo v fotonapetostnih modulih ali panelih iz kristalnega silicija, s poreklom iz LRK, so bili kot najzanesljivejši razpoložljivi podatki o količinah in cenah izvoza nesodelujočih družb uporabljeni preverjeni podatki sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ter podatki zbirke Comext in zbirke iz člena 14(6).
Only a very basic assembly operation must be performed to make a solar module from a laminated module i.e. an aluminium frame must be attached to it and a junction box must be added.
Tako določene cene so se primerjale z ravnijo, ki je bila določena za odpravo škode za proizvajalce v Uniji v uvodni izjavi 415 prvotne uredbe.
This is why a laminated solar module should be declared as a solar module.
Povečanje uvoza iz Malezije in Tajvana se je v smislu količin štelo za znatno.
This means that at least part of the Chinese cells imported into the Taiwanese free trade zones and bonded warehouses were in fact laminated solar modules and should have been declared as modules.
Ocenjena poraba Unije v obdobju poročanja kaže na podoben obseg tega uvoza.
As mentioned in recital (55) the exports of modules, which originally had Chinese origin from the Taiwanese FTZs constituted at least 24 % of Taiwanese imports of modules into the EU.
V smislu tržnega deleža moduli, ki jih v Unijo uvozijo nesodelujoče malezijske družbe in družbe, za katere je bilo ugotovljeno, da se v Maleziji izogibajo ukrepom, predstavljajo 9 % potrošnje modulov v Uniji.
The modules are the final product and the Chinese modules cannot be sold in Taiwan;
Moduli, ki jih v Unijo uvozijo nesodelujoče tajvanske družbe in družbe, za katere je bilo ugotovljeno, da se v Tajvanu izogibajo ukrepom, predstavljajo 7 % potrošnje modulov v Uniji.
therefore the only likely purpose of importing them into Taiwan must have been transhipment.
Celice, ki so bile v Unijo uvožene od nesodelujočih družb iz Tajvana, predstavljajo 3 % potrošnje EU.
Therefore, the Commission concludes that a large proportion of modules consigned form the PRC must have been transhipped via Taiwan to the Union.
Primerjava stopnje odprave škode, kot je bila določena v prvotni uredbi, in tehtane povprečne izvozne cene je pokazala znatno nelojalno nižanje ciljnih cen.
In addition, in 2014 OLAF started an investigation into alleged transhipment of solar cells and modules via Taiwan.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da je bil popravljalni učinek veljavnih ukrepov oslabljen v smislu količin in cen.
This investigation is still ongoing.
UKREPI
In addition, the Taiwanese authorities have carried out investigations into alleged circumvention practices at the same time and concluded that several companies, mainly traders, committed fraud by falsifying the origin of solar modules.
Glede na navedeno je bilo ugotovljeno izogibanje dokončni protidampinški dajatvi, uvedeni na uvoz fotonapetostnih modulov ali panelov iz kristalnega silicija ter celic, kakršne se uporabljajo v fotonapetostnih modulih ali panelih iz kristalnega silicija, s poreklom iz LRK, s pretovarjanjem prek Malezije in Tajvana.
In light of the considerations above the existence of transhipment of the product under investigation via Taiwan has therefore been confirmed.
V skladu s prvim stavkom člena 13(1) osnovne uredbe bi bilo treba veljavne ukrepe za uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz LRK razširiti na uvoz enakega izdelka, dobavljenega iz Malezije in Tajvana, ne glede na to, ali je deklariran kot izdelek s poreklom iz Malezije ali Tajvana ali ne.
Insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the anti-dumping duty
Ukrep, ki ga je treba razširiti, je ukrep iz člena 1(2) Uredbe (EU) št. 1238/2013 za „vsa druga podjetja“, in sicer dokončna protidampinška dajatev v višini 53,4 %, ki se uporablja za neto ceno franko meja Unije, pred plačilom dajatve.
The investigation did not bring to light any due cause or economic justification for the transhipment operations other than the avoidance of the measures in force on solar cells and modules originating in the PRC.
V skladu s členom 13(3) in členom 14(5) osnovne uredbe, ki določata, da bi se moral vsak razširjeni ukrep uporabljati za uvoz, za katerega v Uniji velja registracija, uvedena z uredbo o začetku preiskave, bi bilo treba pobirati dajatve za navedeni registrirani uvoz fotonapetostnih modulov iz kristalnega silicija in ključnih komponent, poslanih iz Malezije in Tajvana.
No elements were found, other than the duty, which could be considered as a compensation for the costs of transhipment or import and re-export of crystalline silicon photovoltaic cells or modules, in particular regarding transport and reloading, from the PRC via Malaysia and Taiwan.
ZAHTEVKI ZA IZVZETJE
Evidence of dumping
Javilo se je štirinajstih malezijskih družb, devet od katerih je predložilo izpolnjen vprašalnik in zahtevalo izvzetje iz morebitnih razširjenih ukrepov v skladu s členom 13(4) osnovne uredbe.
Finally, in accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation it was examined whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal value previously established in the original investigation for the like products.
Ena družba je predložila močno pomanjkljiv odgovor in se ni pravočasno odzvala na poziv k dopolnitvi, zato je Komisija njeno zahtevo zavrnila.
In the original Regulation the normal value was established on the basis of prices in India, which in that investigation was found to be an appropriate analogue country for the PRC.
Komisija je tako izvedla preveritvene obiske v prostorih osmih družb.
It was considered appropriate to use the normal value as previously established in line with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation.
Od 28 družb ali skupin družb v Tajvanu, ki so se javile, je ena obvestila Komisijo, da je opustila dejavnost.
A significant part of Malaysian and Taiwanese exports were performed by non-cooperating exporters or by cooperating exporters that had provided misleading information.
Ena družba je obvestila Komisijo, da ni imela prodaje v Unijo in zato ni bila upravičena do izvzetja.
For this reason, for establishing the export prices from Malaysia and Taiwan, it was decided to base them on the average export price of solar cells and modules during the RP as reported in Article 14(6) database and Comext.
Ostalih 26 družb je predložilo izpolnjen vprašalnik in zaprosilo za izvzetje iz morebitnih razširjenih ukrepov v skladu s členom 13(4) osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Articles 2(11) and 2(12) of the basic Regulation, the weighted average normal value as established in the original Regulation was compared with the weighted average export prices during this investigation's RP as reported in Article 14(6) database and Comext.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 10 zgoraj, se je za tri tajvanske družbe, ki so predložile izpolnjene vprašalnike, izkazalo, da niso imele proizvodnih sredstev, zato je Komisija njihove zahteve zavrnila.
The average Taiwanese and Malaysian export prices of solar cells and modules in the RP were far below the normal value as established in the original investigation, which demonstrates the existence of substantial dumping.
Za tri družbe v Maleziji in tri v Tajvanu, ki so bile preverjene, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so predložile napačne ali zavajajoče informacije.
Undermining of the remedial effect of the anti-dumping duty
V skladu s členom 18(4) osnovne uredbe so bile navedene družbe obveščene o nameri, da se informacij, ki so jih predložile, ne upošteva, ampak se uporabijo „razpoložljiva dejstva“, odobren pa jim je bil rok za predložitev dodatnih pojasnil („dopis iz člena 18“).
To assess whether the imported products had, in terms of quantities and prices, undermined the remedial effects of the measures in force on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules originating in the PRC, verified data from the cooperating exporting producers, Comext and Article 14(6) database were used as the best data available concerning quantities and prices of exports by non-cooperating companies.
Ti dopisi so vsebovali podrobne informacije o tem, katerih delov predloženih informacij teh družb Komisija ni nameravala upoštevati.
The prices so determined were compared to the injury elimination level established for Union producers in recital (415) of the original Regulation.
Dve tajvanski družbi nista odgovorili na dopis iz člena 18.
The modules imported into the Union from non-cooperating companies and the companies that were found to be circumventing in Taiwan account for 7 % of the EU consumption.
Ena tajvanska družba je odgovorila in predložila dodatne informacije, ki jih je Komisija sprejela, kot je opisano spodaj v uvodni izjavi 111.
Given the above, it was concluded that the definitive anti-dumping duty imposed on imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels originating in the PRC was circumvented by transhipment from Malaysia and Taiwan.
Ena od teh družb je med preveritvenim obiskom priznala, da je ta uvoz v izpolnjenem vprašalniku zabeležen kot uvoz sončnih celic iz LRK.
In accordance with the first sentence of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the measures in force on imports of the product concerned originating in the PRC, should be extended to imports of the same product consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan, whether declared as originating in Malaysia and in Taiwan or not.
Ta družba je zadevni uvoz tudi v svoji carinski deklaraciji navedla kot sončne celice.
The measure to be extended should be the one established in Article 1(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 for ‘All other companies’, which is a definitive anti-dumping duty of 53,4 % applicable to the net, free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty.
V primeru obeh tajvanskih družb so bili najdeni dokumenti, ki so jasno pokazali, da sta laminirane sončne module ponovno izvažali iz LRK v Unijo.
In accordance with Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, which provides that any extended measure should apply to imports which entered the Union under registration imposed by the initiating Regulation, duties should be collected on those registered imports of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules and key components consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan.
Ti družbi v Tajvanu v odgovoru na dopis iz člena 18(4) nista predložili nobenih dodatnih pojasnil, saj nanj sploh nista odgovorili (glej uvodno izjavo 83 zgoraj).
REQUESTS FOR EXEMPTION
Na podlagi razlogov, navedenih v uvodni izjavi 85 zgoraj, in glede na ugotovitve v zvezi s spremembami vzorca trgovanja in pretovarjanja, kakor je opisano v oddelku 2 te uredbe, pri čemer tako eni kot drugi že sami po sebi zadostujejo, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so te družbe vpletene v izogibanje, zato ni bilo mogoče odobriti izvzetja v skladu s členom 13(4) osnovne uredbe.
Fourteen companies in Malaysia made themselves known, out of which nine submitted a questionnaire reply and requested an exemption from the possible extended measures in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation.
Kot je pojasnjeno spodaj, so bila za naslednje tri družbe uporabljena dejstva v skladu s členom 18(1) osnovne uredbe in sicer iz razlogov v nadaljevanju.
One company provided a highly deficient reply and did not reply in due time to the deficiency letter, so the Commission rejected its request.
Ena malezijska družba je v izpolnjenem vprašalniku navedla, da je kupovala sončne celice v LRK ter da so bili moduli s kitajskimi celicami odpremljeni na druge trge in ne v Unijo.
Therefore, the Commission carried out the verification visits at the premises of eight companies.
Vendar pa ta družba ni mogla dokazati, da je zunaj LRK kupila zadostne količine celic, da bi lahko proizvedla tolikšno količino sončnih modulov, kot jih je izvozila v Unijo.
28 groups of companies or companies in Taiwan made themselves known, of which one company informed the Commission that it ceased its activities.
Med preveritvenim obiskom je bilo ugotovljeno, da je za družba iz LRK uvažala laminirane sončne module, ki jih je ob uvozu goljufivo deklarirala kot solarno steklo.
One company informed the Commission that it had no sales to the Union and therefore was not eligible for an exemption.
Prav tako ta družba ni imela zadostnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti, da bi proizvedla tako količino izdelka v preiskavi, kot jo je izvozila.
The remaining 26 companies submitted a questionnaire reply and requested an exemption from the possibly extended measures in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation.
Ugotovljeno je bilo tudi, da je imela družba povezave s kitajsko družbo, dejavno na področju fotovoltaike.
As explained in recital (10) above, three of the Taiwanese companies who submitted a questionnaire reply turned out not to have production assets, and the Commission therefore rejected their request.
Malezijska družba je v odgovoru na dopis iz člena 18(4) zanikala, da bi v Unijo izvažala module s kitajskimi celicami.
Three companies in Malaysia and three companies in Taiwan that were verified were found to have provided false or misleading information.
Trdila je, da je v Unijo izvažala module z južnokorejskimi celicami, ki pa so bile laminirane na Kitajskem.
In accordance with Article 18(4) of the basic Regulation, these companies were informed of the intention to disregard the information submitted by them and to apply ‘facts available’, and were granted a time-limit to provide further explanations (‘Article 18 letter’).
Družba je tudi odgovorila, da je tako „laminirano steklo“ naročila zato, ker njen laminator ni bil dovolj kakovosten.
These letters contained specific information as to which parts of the information submitted by these companies the Commission intended to disregard.
Vendar pa je bilo, kot je navedeno zgoraj, to steklo goljufivo deklarirano kot solarno steklo.
The three companies in Malaysia did reply, but could not dissipate the doubts of the Commission for the reasons set out below.
Vendar pa sprememba v lastništvu ni spremenila dejstva, da obstajajo povezave med malezijsko in kitajsko družbo, saj je glavni dobavitelj surovin malezijske družbe še naprej ostal kitajski proizvajalec modulov.
Also for those companies, the Commission disregarded the information as announced.
Zato pojasnila, ki jih je predložila družba v svojem odgovoru na dopis iz člena 18(4), niso spremenila ugotovitve, da je v Unijo ponovno izvažala kitajske laminirane sončne module in da so bile vsaj v delu modulov, izvoženih v EU, uporabljene kitajske celice.
One Taiwanese company replied and provided additional information, which the Commission accepted, as set out in recital (111) below.
Glede na ugotovitve v zvezi s spremembami vzorca trgovanja in pretovarjanja, kakor je opisano v oddelku 2 in v uvodnih izjavah 89 do 92, pri čemer tako ene kot druge že same po sebi zadostujejo, izvzetja, kakor ga je zahtevala ta malezijska družba, v skladu s členom 13(4) osnovne uredbe ni bilo mogoče odobriti.
Other investigative authorities in the Union, like OLAF and national customs authorities, are currently investigating imports into the Union of these five companies as well.
Za drugo družbo v Maleziji je bilo ugotovljeno, da ni imela zadostnih proizvodnih zmogljivosti, da bi proizvedla tako količino izdelka v preiskavi, kot jo je izvozila.
