The product under review is the same as in the investigation leading to the imposition of the existing measures (‘the original investigation’), i.e. fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, commonly known as ‘biodiesel’, in pure form or in a blend containing by weight more than 20 % of fatty-acid mono-alkyl esters and/or paraffinic gasoil obtained from synthesis and/or hydro-treatment, of non-fossil origin, originating in the USA, currently falling within CN codes ex15162098, ex15180091, ex15180099, ex27101943, ex27101946, ex27101947, ex27102011, ex27102015, ex27102017, ex38249092, ex38260010 and ex38260090 (‘the product under review’).
Izdelek, ki se pregleduje, je izdelek iz preiskave, ki je privedla do uvedbe obstoječih ukrepov („prvotna preiskava“), tj. monoalkilni estri maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinsko plinsko olje, pridobljeni s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora, splošno znani kot „biodizel“, v čisti obliki ali mešanici, ki vsebuje več kot 20 mas. % monoalkilnih estrov maščobnih kislin in/ali parafinskega plinskega olja, pridobljenih s sintezo in/ali hidrotretiranjem, nefosilnega izvora, s poreklom iz ZDA, ki se trenutno uvrščajo pod oznake KN ex15162098, ex15180091, ex15180099, ex27101943, ex27101946, ex27101947, ex27102011, ex27102015, ex27102017, ex38249092, ex38260010 in ex38260090 („izdelek, ki se pregleduje“).
Biodiesel is a renewable fuel used in the transport sector for diesel engines.
Biodizel je obnovljivo gorivo, ki se uporablja v prometnem sektorju kot gorivo za dizelske motorje.
However, conventional engines cannot function with pure biodiesel but a blend of mineral diesel and a limited content of biodiesel.
Vendar konvencionalni motorji ne delujejo, če se kot gorivo uporablja čisti biodizel, zato se mora uporabljati mešanica mineralnega dizelskega goriva in omejena količina biodizla.
Biodiesel produced in the USA is predominantly ‘fatty acid methyl ester’ (FAME) derived from a wide range of vegetable oils (soybean oil, palm oil, rapeseed oil) and used frying oils, animal fats or biomass, which serve as a biodiesel feedstock.
Biodizel, ki se proizvaja v ZDA, je večinoma metil ester maščobnih kislin (FAME), ki se proizvaja iz številnih rastlinskih olj (sojinega olja, palmovega olja in repičnega olja) in uporabljenega olja za cvrtje, živalskih maščob ali biomase, ki so surovine za biodizel.
The term ‘ester’ refers to the trans-esterification of vegetable oils, namely, the mingling of the oil with alcohol.
Izraz „ester“ se nanaša na transesterifikacijo rastlinskih olj, natančneje na združitev olja z alkoholom.
The term ‘methyl’ refers to methanol; the most commonly used alcohol in the process, although ethanol can also be used in the production process, resulting in ‘fatty acid ethyl esters’.
Izraz „metil“ se nanaša na metanol, tj. alkohol, ki se najpogosteje uporablja v tem procesu, čeprav se lahko v proizvodnem procesu uporabi tudi etanol, pri čemer nastane „etil ester maščobnih kislin“.
All types of biodiesel and the biodiesel in the blends, despite possible differences in terms of raw material used for the production, or variances in the production process, have the same or very similar basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and are used for the same purposes.
Vse vrste biodizla in biodizel v mešanicah imajo kljub morebitnim razlikam v surovinah, uporabljenih pri proizvodnji, ali v proizvodnem postopku enake ali zelo podobne osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti ter se uporabljajo v enake namene.
The possible variations in the product under investigation do not alter its basic definition, its characteristics or the perception that various parties have of it.
Morebitne različice izdelka v preiskavi ne spremenijo njegove osnovne opredelitve, njegovih lastnosti ali dojemanja različnih strani.
In particular, from the perspective of the end-user of diesel fuel, it makes no difference if the blend available at the pump is made of one particular biodiesel feedstock.
Zlasti z vidika končnega uporabnika dizelskega goriva ni pomembno, ali je mešanica, ki je na voljo na bencinski črpalki, narejena iz določene surovine za biodizel.
As in the original investigation, the biodiesel sold on the domestic market in the USA and the US biodiesel sold for export have the same basic physical and technical characteristics and uses.
Kot v prvotni preiskavi imata biodizel, ki se prodaja na domačem trgu v ZDA, in biodizel ZDA, ki se prodaja za izvoz, enake osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter uporabo.
Similarly, the biodiesel produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry has the same basic physical and technical characteristics and uses as the product exported from the USA to the Union.
Podobno ima biodizel, ki ga industrija Unije proizvaja in prodaja v Uniji, enake osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter uporabo kot izdelek, ki se izvaža iz ZDA v Unijo.
Therefore, they are like products for the purposes of the present investigation within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Zato sta ta dva izdelka za namene te preiskave podobna izdelka v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
Claims regarding product scope
Trditve glede obsega izdelka
The US Government (USG) claimed that diesel produced from biomass [8] is a category of products broader than the product under review.
Vlada ZDA je trdila, da je dizelsko gorivo, proizvedeno iz biomase [8], kategorija izdelkov, ki je širša od izdelka, ki se pregleduje.
However, as set out in the Regulation imposing provisional countervailing duties in the original investigation [9], all types of biodiesel and biodiesel blends, including diesel produced from biomass, are considered to be biodiesel fuels and are part of a legislative package concerning energy efficiency and renewable energy and alternative fuels.
Vendar se vse vrste biodizla in mešanice biodizla, vključno z dizelskim gorivom iz biomase, obravnavajo kot biodizelska goriva, kot je določeno v uredbi o uvedbi začasne izravnalne dajatve v prvotni preiskavi [9], in so del zakonodajnega paketa o energetski učinkovitosti, energiji iz obnovljivih virov in alternativnih gorivih.
The reason is that biodiesel produced from biomass has the same or very similar basic physical and technical characteristics and uses as biodiesel produced from other sources.
Razlog za to je dejstvo, da ima biodizel, proizveden iz biomase, enake ali zelo podobne osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter uporabo kot biodizel, proizveden iz drugih virov.
The finding in the original investigation was not challenged by any interested party and remains valid in this expiry review.
Zainteresirana stran ni nasprotovala ugotovitvi iz prvotne preiskave, zato velja tudi v tem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa.
Consequently, the Commission rejects this claim by the USG.
Zato Komisija to trditev vlade ZDA zavrne.
In accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the expiry of the existing measures would be likely to lead to a continuation or recurrence of dumping.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je Komisija proučila, ali obstaja verjetnost, da bi iztek obstoječih ukrepov povzročil nadaljevanje ali ponovitev dampinga.
Due to lack of cooperation from the selected sampled producers mentioned in recital (25) above, it was not possible to carry out an analysis based on verified data supplied by US producers.
Zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja izbranih vzorčenih proizvajalcev, navedenih v uvodni izjavi 25, ni bilo mogoče izvesti analize na podlagi preverjenih podatkov, ki jih predložijo proizvajalci ZDA.
The Commission therefore made use of the following sources of information: the data provided by some US biodiesel producers at initiation stage in reply to the questionnaires for the purpose of the sampling, Eurostat, the request for an expiry review, subsequent submissions from the applicant, the US National Biodiesel Board, the websites of the US Energy Information Administration and the US Department of Energy, and the US International Trade Commission.
Komisija je zato uporabila naslednje vire informacij: podatke, ki so jih nekateri proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA navedli v začetni fazi v odgovoru na vprašalnike za namen vzorčenja, Eurostat, zahtevek za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa, nadaljnje podatke, ki jih je preložil vložnik, nacionalni odbor ZDA za biodizel ter spletna mesta Uprave ZDA za energetske informacije in Ministrstva ZDA za energijo ter Mednarodne komisije ZDA za trgovino.
Following the imposition of measures in 2009, imports of biodiesel from the USA to the Union dropped to almost zero, with only a very small quantity exported in 2013 and during the RIP.
Po uvedbi ukrepov leta 2009 se je uvoz biodizla iz ZDA v Unijo zmanjšal na skoraj nič, saj se je leta 2013 in v OPP izvozila le zelo majhna količina.
In these circumstances, it was not considered relevant to assess the level of dumping in the RIP.
V teh okoliščinah se ni štel za pomembnega za oceno stopnje dampinga v OPP.
It can therefore be concluded that there was no continuation of dumping during the RIP.
Zato se lahko sklene, da se damping v OPP ni nadaljeval.
The Commission analysed whether there was evidence of likelihood of recurrence of dumping should the measure lapse.
Komisija je proučila, ali obstajajo dokazi o verjetnosti ponovitve dampinga, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
In particular, the following elements were analysed: the relationship between prices of the product produced and sold in the Union and in the USA, the relationship between export prices to third countries and prices in the USA, the relationship between export prices to third countries and the price level in the Union, the unused capacities and circumvention and absorption practices.
Proučeni so bili zlasti naslednji elementi: razmerje med cenami izdelka, ki se proizvaja in prodaja v Uniji, in cenami izdelka, ki se proizvaja in prodaja v ZDA, razmerje med izvoznimi cenami za tretje države in cenami v ZDA, razmerje med izvoznimi cenami za tretje države in ravnjo cen v Uniji, neizkoriščene zmogljivosti ter prakse izogibanja in absorpcije.
Relationship between prices of the product produced and sold in the Union and in the USA
Razmerje med cenami izdelka, ki se proizvaja in prodaja v Uniji, in cenami izdelka, ki se proizvaja in prodaja v ZDA
In the absence of cooperation from the US biodiesel producers, the Commission services made use of three sources of information for establishing the domestic sales price of biodiesel in the US during the RIP: (i) the replies to the questionnaire sent out at initiation stage for the purpose of sampling, submitted by a number of US biodiesel producers at initiation stage; (ii) information provided by the NBB based on information gathered by a market surveyor named ‘Jacobsen’; and (iii) information provided by the applicant based on information gathered by the Oil Price Information Service (OPIS).
Ker proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA niso sodelovali, so službe Komisije za izračun domače prodajne cene biodizla v ZDA v OPP uporabile tri vire informacij: (i) odgovore na vprašalnik, ki je bil poslan v začetni fazi za namen vzorčenja in ki so ga številni proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA predložili v začetni fazi, (ii) informacije, ki jih je predložil nacionalni odbor za biodizel na podlagi informacij, ki jih je zbral tržni nadzornik Jacobsen, in (iii) informacije, ki jih je predložil vložnik na podlagi informacij, ki jih je zbrala družba Oil Price Information Service (OPIS).
The data from these three sources include different levels of trade prices and incoterm conditions.
Podatkih iz teh treh virov vsebujejo različne ravni cen trgovanja in pogoje Incoterms.
However, the values are very close to each other.
Vendar so vrednosti zelo podobne.
The average of the values from these three sources is USD 1196,93 per metric tonne.
Povprečna vrednost iz teh treh virov znaša 1196,93 USD na metrično tono.
At the euro/dollar average exchange rate during the RIP (1 EUR = 1,356 USD), this amount corresponds to a US domestic sales price of EUR 883 per metric tonne [10].
V skladu s povprečnim menjalnim tečajem v OPP (1 EUR = 1,356 USD) ta znesek ustreza domači prodajni ceni ZDA v višini 883 EUR na metrično tono [10].
The average ex-works price of biodiesel sold in the Union by Union producers during the RIP, as shown in Table 8 below, was EUR 905 per metric tonne (USD 1227,18).
Povprečna cena biodizla franko tovarna, ki so ga proizvajalci Unije prodajali v Uniji v OPP, je znašala 905 EUR na metrično tono (1227,18 USD), kot je prikazano v preglednici 8.
In order to re-enter the Union market, the US producers would need to sell at a lower price than EUR 905 per metric tonne.
Če želijo proizvajalci ZDA ponovno vstopiti na trg Unije, bi morali izdelek prodajati po ceni, ki je nižja od 905 EUR na metrično tono.
Their final price should also cover the ocean freight and insurance costs and the existing customs duty (6,5 %) applicable to biodiesel.
Njihova končna cena bi morala vključevati tudi stroške čezmorskega prevoza in zavarovanja ter obstoječo carino (6,5 %), ki velja za biodizel.
According to data obtained during the investigation, this would amount to approximately EUR 100 per metric tonne.
Po podatkih, pridobljenih med preiskavo, bi to znašalo približno 100 EUR na metrično tono.
The Commission based this amount on the amount for customs duties, transport and freight, as calculated by the NBB (around EUR 94) and rounded it up to EUR 100 to cover also some additional post-importation expenses.
Komisija je ta znesek določila na podlagi zneska za carine, prevoz in prevoznino, kot ga je izračunal nacionalni odbor za biodizel (v višini približno 94 EUR), in ga zaokrožila na 100 EUR, da je zajemal še nekatere dodatne stroške po uvozu.
As a consequence, should the US producers resume exports to the EU, they would need to do so at an ex-works price (less than EUR 805 per metric tonne) which would be lower than their domestic sales price in the US, thus at a dumped price.
Zato bi morali proizvajalci ZDA, če bi nadalje izvažali v EU, izvažati po ceni franko tovarna (manj kot 805 EUR na metrično tono), ki bi bila nižja od njihove domače prodajne cene v ZDA, kar bi pomenilo izvoz po dampinški ceni.
On the basis of the circumstances described in more detail in recitals (63) and (71) concerning respectively the export prices to third countries and the spare capacity, it is likely that the US producers would resume exports to the Union if the measures in force were allowed to lapse, as this would allow them reducing the unit costs of production, as explained in more detail in recital (72) below.
Na podlagi okoliščin v zvezi z izvoznimi cenami za tretje države in neizkoriščeno zmogljivostjo, ki so podrobneje opisane v uvodnih izjavah 63 in 71, je verjetno, da bi proizvajalci ZDA nadalje izvažali v Unijo, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati, saj bi jim to omogočilo, da zmanjšajo stroške na enoto proizvodnje, kot je podrobneje opisano v uvodni izjavi 72.
Following final disclosure, the NBB questioned the accuracy of the average domestic sales price established by the Commission and reminded that in one of its earlier submissions a lower value (EUR 789,36 per metric tonne) was indicated, based on the prices made available by the US Department of Energy.
Po končnem razkritju je imel nacionalni odbor za biodizel pomisleke o točnosti povprečne domače prodajne cene, ki jo je določila Komisija, in opozoril, da je v enem izmed njegovih starejših dopisov navedena nižja vrednost (789,36 EUR na metrično tono), ki temelji na cenah, ki jih je dalo na voljo Ministrstvo ZDA za energijo.
The Commission rejects this claim for the following reasons:
Komisija to trditev zavrne iz naslednjih razlogov:
As regards the average price indicated by the NBB, it cannot be regarded as an accurate basis, because it was a retail price and not an ex-factory price.
Povprečna cena, ki jo je navedel nacionalni odbor za biodizel, se ne more obravnavati kot točna osnova, saj je maloprodajna cena in ne cena franko tovarna.
More specifically, the NBB provided an average monthly retail price (at the pump) for biodiesel in the USA in July 2014, measured in gasoline gallons equivalent (GGE) and using the exchange rate of only one point in time, i.e. 19 September 2014.
Natančneje, nacionalni odbor za biodizel je predložil povprečno mesečno maloprodajno ceno (na bencinski črpalki) za biodizel v ZDA julija 2014, izmerjeno v ekvivalentu galon bencina (GGE – Gasoline Gallons Equivalent) in z uporabo menjalnega tečaja z dne 19. septembra 2014.
As regards the average price calculated by the Commission, it is a reasonable value taking into account that it was calculated making use of the best fact available in the absence of cooperation from the US producers.
Povprečna cena, ki jo je izračunala Komisija, je razumna vrednost, pri čemer je treba upoštevati, da je bila izračunana na podlagi najboljših razpoložljivih dejstev, saj proizvajalci ZDA niso sodelovali.
It is an average of the prices declared by some US producers at initiation stage, the prices collected by the surveyor ‘Jacobsen’ as provided by the NBB itself and the prices collected by OPIS as provided by the EBB.
Je povprečje cen, ki so jih prijavili nekateri proizvajalci ZDA v začetni fazi, cen, ki jih je zbral tržni nadzornik Jacobsen in jih je zagotovil nacionalni odbor za biodizel, ter cen, ki jih je zbrala družba OPIS in predložil Evropski odbor za biodizel.
It was a simple average in the absence of information on quantities which would allow calculating a weighted average.
Ker ni bilo na voljo informacij o količinah, ki bi omogočile izračun tehtanega povprečja, je bilo izračunano enostavno povprečje.
The three values were very similar though.
Vendar so bile tri vrednosti zelo podobne.
The incoterm conditions and level of trade were not known and could not be taken into account.
Pogoji Incoterms in stopnja trgovine niso bili znani, zato jih ni bilo mogoče upoštevati.
However, the OPIS prices were adjusted to take into account reasonable transport costs within the USA.
Vendar so bile cene OPIS prilagojene tako, da so upoštevale razumne stroške prevoza v ZDA.
In the light of the significant difference between domestic and export price, any adjustment for incoterm conditions and level of trade would have not changed the conclusion that if US producers want to resume sales to the Union, they would have to sell at dumped prices.
Ob upoštevanju znatne razlike med domačo ceno in izvozno ceno kakršna koli prilagoditev za pogoje Incoterms in stopnjo trgovine ne bi spremenila sklepa, da bi morali proizvajalci ZDA prodajati izdelek po dampinških cenah, če bi želeli nadalje izvažati v Unijo.
The NBB also challenged the amount of EUR 100 per metric tonne used to calculate a reliable average export price starting from the average Union price of biodiesel and suggested using EUR 110,49 instead.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je prav tako nasprotoval znesku v višini 100 EUR na metrično tono, ki se je uporabil za izračun zanesljive povprečne izvozne cene na podlagi povprečja cene biodizla v Uniji, in predlagal, da se namesto tega uporabi znesek v višini 110,49 EUR.
As mentioned in recital (45) above, the Commission used the amounts suggested by the NBB for customs duties, transport and freight.
Kot je omenjeno v uvodni izjavi 45, je Komisija uporabila zneske, ki jih je nacionalni odbor za biodizel predlagal za carino, prevoz in prevoznine.
The Commission only used a lower amount for the additional post importation costs than the EUR 16,69 as claimed by the NBB, because the NBB did not demonstrate that the amount for post importation should be 2 % of the CIF frontier value.
Komisija je uporabila samo znesek za dodatne stroške po uvozu, ki je bil nižji od 16,69 EUR, kot ga je navajal nacionalni odbor za biodizel, saj ni dokazal, da bi moral znesek po uvozu znašati 2 % vrednosti CIF franko meja.
In any event, the difference between the Commission's estimation and the one from the NBB is marginal and does not change the conclusion on the likelihood of dumping, also taking into account that no precise dumping calculations were required in this respect.
V vsakem primeru je razlika med oceno Komisije in oceno nacionalnega odbora za biodizel zelo majhna in ne spremeni sklepa o verjetnosti dampinga, pri čemer je treba upoštevati, da v zvezi s tem niso bili potrebni točni izračuni dampinga.
The NBB claimed that, like in the original investigation, an adjustment for physical difference should have been granted to take into account that the main feedstock used to produce biodiesel in the US is soya beans whereas in the Union the main feedstock used is rapeseed which has a higher quality and demands a price premium.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je trdil, da bi se morala tako kot v prvotni preiskavi odobriti prilagoditev za fizično razliko, da bi se upoštevalo, da je glavna surovina za proizvodnjo biodizla v ZDA soja, v Uniji pa oljna ogrščica, ki je kakovostnejša in zahteva dodatek k ceni.
In the original investigation the adjustment was granted on the basis of a comparison of verified data from US producers and Union producers.
V prvotni preiskavi je bila prilagoditev odobrena na podlagi primerjave preverjenih podatkov proizvajalcev ZDA in Unije.
In the absence of cooperation from the US producers in the present expiry review, the Commission could firstly not establish that an adjustment should be granted.
Ker proizvajalci ZDA v sedanjem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa niso sodelovali, Komisija ni mogla ugotoviti, da je treba odobriti prilagoditev.
Secondly if any adjustment were to be granted, the Commission could not establish the level of such an adjustment.
Tudi če bi bilo treba odobriti prilagoditev, Komisija ni mogla ugotoviti ravni take prilagoditve.
The circumstances prevailing at the time of the original investigation have changed, in particular the mix of the feedstock used both in the EU and in the USA to produce biodiesel is no longer the same.
Prevladujoče okoliščine iz prvotne preiskave so se spremenile, saj zlasti mešanica surovin, ki se uporablja v EU in ZDA za proizvodnjo biodizla, ni več enaka.
Also, the NBB claimed an adjustment of 10 %, but has not substantiated this level of the adjustment.
Poleg tega je nacionalni odbor za biodizel zahteval prilagoditev v višini 10 %, vendar ni utemeljil te ravni prilagoditve.
The NBB and the US Government claimed that since the US domestic price is higher than the likely export price to the Union, US producers would increase their domestic sales rather than exporting to the Union, in particular in view of the increased consumption in the US.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel in vlada ZDA sta trdila, da je domača cena v ZDA višja od verjetne izvozne cene za Unijo, zato bi proizvajalci ZDA povečali svojo domačo prodajo in ne bi izvažali v Unijo, zlasti ker se je potrošnja v ZDA povečala.
This claim is unfounded and should be rejected.
Ta trditev je neutemeljena in bi jo bilo treba zavrniti.
There is no evidence that consumption will increase in 2015 and 2016.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je trdil, da bi morala Komisija pojasniti, kako bi večji obseg proizvodnje zmanjšal stroške proizvodnje proizvajalcev ZDA.
On the contrary, publicly available information [11] suggests that the targets for mandatory use of renewable fuels in the USA will remain stable in the years to come.
V zvezi s tem bi bilo treba že na začetku poudariti, da Komisija zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja ni mogla izvesti točnega izračuna v zvezi z učinkom večjega obsega proizvodnje na stroške proizvajalcev ZDA.
As a consequence, the current consumption level in the USA is more likely to remain stable than to increase.
Vendar je z gospodarskega stališča jasno, da se stroški proizvodnje na enoto zmanjšajo, če se stalni stroški porazdelijo na večji obseg proizvodnje.
As there is an excess capacity in the USA (see recitals (69) and following below), US producers would still have an incentive to export to the Union even if they sell at a lower price than the domestic price but still cover their variable costs.
To velja tudi, če je pri proizvodnji biodizla večina stroškov spremenljivih in če so odvisni od uporabljenih surovin, kot je trdil nacionalni odbor za biodizel.
