The Commission considered therefore that the current registered capacity constituted an accurate basis for calculating the total US production capacity and spare capacity.
To kaže, da obstajajo proizvajalci ZDA z zadostno proizvodno zmogljivostjo za izvoz.
The NBB also claimed that the US biodiesel industry is not designed to operate as an exporting industry, as most US biodiesel facilities produce less than 15000000 gallons (55000 metric tonnes) per year.
Proizvajalci ZDA brez zadostne posamezne proizvodne zmogljivosti za izvoz v Unijo bodo še naprej oskrbovali domači trg, trgovci pa lahko združijo proizvodnjo več obratov in jo izvažajo.
Allegedly, it would not be economically feasible to stock several weeks of biodiesel of production for a single export shipment.
Industrija biodizla v ZDA ima torej znatno neizkoriščeno zmogljivost in zato veliko spodbudo za nadaljnji izvoz na trg EU, če bi obstoječi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
This claim was rejected as well.
Prakse izogibanja in absorpcije
The US biodiesel industry can export and before imposition of the measures in force, the US producers were exporting significant quantities of biodiesel to the Union market, up to 1137000 tonnes during the investigation period of the initial investigation (1 April 2007 to 31 March 2008).
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 2, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so se nekateri izognili protidampinškim ukrepom, uvedenim leta 2009, s pretovarjanjem prek Kanade in spremembo sestave mešanice.
This shows that there are US producers with sufficient production capacity to be able to export.
Obstoj takih praks kaže zanimanje nekaterih proizvajalcev ZDA za vstop na trg Unije tudi po uvedbi ukrepov in se zato šteje za znak verjetnosti prihodnjih dampinških praks.
The US producers without sufficient individual production capacity for a shipment to the Union will continue serving the domestic market and traders can put together the output of several plants and export it.
Po končnem razkritju je nacionalni odbor za biodizel trdil, da so se navedeni dogodki zgodili štiri leta pred OPP, zato ne smejo biti podlaga za sprejetje sklepov v tej zadevi.
In conclusion, the US biodiesel industry has a significant spare capacity and has therefore a strong incentive to resume exports to the EU market should the existing measures be allowed to lapse.
Komisija je vztrajala pri stališču, da obstoj preteklih praks, ki so jih vzpostavili isti udeleženci na trgu, kot tak ni odločilen, vendar bi se vseeno lahko štel za znak velikega interesa, ki ga imajo proizvajalci ZDA pri prodoru na trg Unije.
Circumvention and absorption practices
Drugi elementi
As mentioned in recital (2), the anti-dumping measures imposed in 2009 were found to be circumvented by means of transhipments via Canada and by a change in the composition of the blend.
V OPP je bila proizvodnja biodizla v ZDA (4450000 ton) manjša od potrošnje (4896000 ton).
The existence of such practices shows the interest of some US producers to enter the Union market, even after the imposition of measures, and is therefore considered as an indication of the likelihood of future dumping practices.
Zato je ZDA uvozila več biodizla, kot ga je izvozila.
Following final disclosure, the NBB claimed that those events occurred four years before the RIP and cannot be used to draw any conclusion in the present case.
Razlog za to bi bila lahko negotovost, povezana s cilji za obvezno proizvodnjo biodizla iz programa standarda za obnovljivo gorivo (1,28 milijarde galon, kar ustreza 4238000 tonam leta 2014, količina pa se v primerjavi z letom 2013 ni spremenila), in možnost, da lahko uvoženi biodizel sodeluje v programu standarda za obnovljivo gorivo in uveljavlja davčno olajšavo za biodizel ZDA, ko program velja.
The Commission maintained that the existence of past practice put in place by the same market operators is not decisive as such, but could still be considered as an indication of the strong interest that US producers have in penetrating the Union market.
V OPP je skupni uvoz znašal 1072000 ton, skupni izvoz pa 567000 ton.
Other elements
A če se razpoložljiva proizvodna zmogljivost ni uporabila za zadostitev domačemu povpraševanju v obravnavanem obdobju, ni verjetno, da se bo navedena razpoložljiva proizvodna zmogljivost v prihodnosti uporabila v isti namen.
In the RIP, the US production of biodiesel (4450000 tonnes) was lower than the consumption (4896000 tonnes).
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bila proizvodna zmogljivost ZDA v OPP (7128000 ton) bistveno večja od domače potrošnje.
As a consequence, the USA was importing more biodiesel than it was exporting.
To pomeni, da bodo imeli proizvajalci ZDA spodbudo v primeru odprtja priložnosti na izvoznem trgu in bodo verjetno izkoristili svojo neizkoriščeno zmogljivost.
The reason for that could be found in the uncertainty linked to the targets for mandatory biodiesel production under the Renewable Fuel Standard Programme (1,28 billion gallons, corresponding to 4238000 tonnes in 2014, unchanged compared to 2013) and the possibility for imported biodiesel to participate in the Renewable Fuel Standard Programme and to claim the US biodiesel tax credit when it is in effect.
Če bi se neizkoriščena zmogljivost lahko uporabila za zadostitev domači potrošnji, bi se to že uresničilo.
During the RIP the total imports amounted to 1072000 tonnes, and the total exports to 567000 tonnes.
V tem okviru je treba poudariti, da je trg Unije zelo privlačen, saj je največji trg na svetu, poleg tega pa obstajajo pomembne spodbude Unije in nacionalne spodbude za potrošnjo biodizla.
However, if the available production capacity was not used to satisfy the domestic demand during the period considered it is unlikely that such available production capacity would be used in the future for the same purpose.
Zato bi bil za proizvajalce ZDA zelo prikladen, saj bi lahko v celoti izkoristili svojo neizkoriščeno zmogljivost in preusmerili nekaj izvoza v druge manj dobičkonosne tretje države na trg Unije.
It has been established that in the RIP the US production capacity (7128000 tonnes) was significantly higher than the domestic consumption.
Po končnem razkritju je nacionalni odbor za biodizel trdil, da dejstvo, da je bila potrošnja biodizla v ZDA v OPP večja od proizvodnje, kaže, da proizvajalci ZDA nimajo neizkoriščene zmogljivosti, ki bi se lahko uporabila za prodor na trg Unije, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
This means that if export market opportunities open up, the US producers will have an incentive and are likely to use their spare capacity.
Komisija je menila, da bi se ugotovljena neizkoriščena zmogljivost v ZDA, ki bi se lahko uporabila za zadostitev celotni potrošnji ZDA, vendar se trenutno ne uporablja za ta namen, po vsej verjetnosti uporabila za oskrbovanje drugih trgov, na katerih obstaja povpraševanje, zlasti trga Unije, na katerem proizvajalci izvozniki trenutno niso prisotni.
If they could have used the spare capacity to satisfy the domestic consumption, they would have already done so.
Komisija je poudarila, da je proizvodna zmogljivost bistveno večja od potrošnje v ZDA, zato je neizkoriščena zmogljivost v skladu s tem na voljo za izvoz v Unijo, če bi veljavni ukrepi prenehali veljati.
In this context, it should be noted that the Union market is very attractive as it is the biggest in the world and there are significant Union and national incentives for biodiesel consumption.
Sklep o verjetnosti ponovitve dampinga
Thus, it would be convenient for US producers to utilise their spare capacity to the full extent and also to divert some of their export sales to other less profitable third countries into the Union market.
Komisija je ob upoštevanju znatne proste zmogljivosti industrije Unije ter privlačnosti trga Unije v smislu velikosti in prodajne cene, zlasti glede na raven cen izvoza ZDA v tretje države, in primerov preteklih praks izogibanja sklenila, da se bo dampinški uvoz iz ZDA verjetno ponovil, če bi veljavni ukrepi prenehali veljati.
Following final disclosure, the NBB argued that the fact that during the RIP US consumption of biodiesel was higher than production shows that the US producers do not have spare capacity which could be used to penetrate the Union market, should measures be allowed to lapse.
ŠKODA
The Commission considered that the established spare capacity in the USA, which could be used to satisfy the entire US consumption but at the moment it is not used for that purpose, would in all likelihood be used to satisfy other markets where demand exists and in particular the Union market where US exporting producers are currently not present.
Opredelitev pojmov industrija Unije in proizvodnja Unije
The Commission stressed that the production capacity is significantly higher than consumption in the USA and, accordingly, unused capacity is available for exports to the Union if the measures in force were allowed to lapse.
Podobni izdelek je v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom proizvajalo približno 200 proizvajalcev v Uniji.
Conclusion on the likelihood of a recurrence of dumping
Ti predstavljajo „industrijo Unije“ v smislu člena 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
In light of the significant spare capacity of the US industry, combined with the attractiveness of the Union market in terms of size and sales price, in particular with regard to the price level of US exports to third countries, and the records of past circumvention practices, the Commission concluded that dumped imports from the USA are likely to recur if the measures in force were allowed to lapse.
Celotna proizvodnja v Uniji je bila v obdobju preiskave v zvezi z ukrepom določena na skoraj 11600000 ton.
INJURY
Komisija je ta podatek izračunala na podlagi vseh razpoložljivih informacij o industriji Unije, kot so informacije iz pritožbe in podatki, ki so jih proizvajalci Unije navedli med preiskavo.
Definition of the Union industry and Union production
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 12 in 13, je bilo v vzorec izbranih sedem proizvajalcev Unije, ki so predstavljali približno 30 % celotne proizvodnje podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
The like product was manufactured by around 200 producers in the Union during the review investigation period.
Potrošnja Unije
They constitute the ‘Union industry’ within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je izračunala potrošnjo Unije na podlagi obsega celotne proizvodnje v Uniji, od katerega je odštela izvoz in mu prištela uvoz iz tretjih držav.
The total Union production during the review investigation period was established at almost 11600000 tonnes.
Podatki o obsegu uvoza in izvoza so temeljili na podatkih Eurostata.
The Commission established the figure on the basis of all the available information concerning the Union industry, such as information provided in the complaint and data collected from Union producers during the investigation.
Potrošnja Unije se je gibala na naslednji način:
As indicated in recitals (12)-(13) above, seven Union producers were selected in the sample representing almost 30 % of the total Union production of the like product.

Cene in nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen
Import volume and market share of the USA
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je bil uvoz biodizla iz ZDA v Unijo zanemarljiv in ni bil smiselna osnova za izračun nelojalnega nižanja cen.
Source: Eurostat
Zato je bila izvedena analiza med povprečno ceno biodizla, ki ga je industrija Unije proizvedla in prodala v Uniji, in povprečno izvozno ceno biodizla, ki so ga ZDA izvažale v tretje države, v obdobju preiskave v zvezi z ukrepom, ki je temeljila na statističnih podatkih Mednarodne komisije ZDA za trgovino.
USA (metric tonnes)
Kot je že bilo navedeno (uvodna izjava 63), je povprečna izvozna cena za vse države znašala približno 753 EUR na metrično tono FAS (franko ob ladijski bok).
Market share
Za izračun verjetne in razumne izvozne cene Unije bi bilo treba povprečni izvozni ceni prišteti stroške prevoza in zavarovanja, carino v višini 6,5 % in stroške po uvozu, ki naj bi po ocenah znašali približno 100 EUR na metrično tono (glej uvodno izjavo 45).
Prices and price undercutting
Zato bi ocenjena izvozna cena za Unijo nelojalno nižala ceno Unije, ki je v obdobju preiskave v zvezi z ukrepom znašala 905 EUR.
During the review investigation period the imports of biodiesel to the Union from the USA were negligible and could not provide a meaningful basis for calculating undercutting.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je trdil, da Komisija ni pojasnila, zakaj je pri ugotavljanju verjetne izvozne cene za Unijo uporabila povprečne izvozne cene ZDA za tretje države, namesto da bi uporabila višjo izvozno ceno za Kanado.
An analysis was therefore made between the average price of biodiesel produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry and the average export price of biodiesel to third countries from the USA in the review investigation period based on statistical data from the United States International Trade Commission.
Trdi tudi, da Komisija ni pojasnila podlage za prilagoditev ocenjene izvozne cene za Unijo v višini 100 EUR in da ni upoštevala stroškov po uvozu ter domnevnih razlik v ceni zaradi različnih surovin.
As mentioned above (recital (63)), the average export price to all countries was around EUR 753 per metric tonne FAS (free alongside ship).
Zato bi bila analiza nelojalnega nižanja cen pomanjkljiva.
In order to calculate a likely and reasonable Union export price it would be necessary to add costs for transport and insurance as well a customs duty of 6,5 % and post-importation costs to this average export price, which are estimated to around EUR 100 per metric tonne (see recital (45)) above.
Kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 57, je preiskava pokazala, da se izvozne cene ZDA močno razlikujejo glede na namembni kraj.
It follows that an estimated export price to the Union would be undercutting the Union prices, which were EUR 905 during the review investigation period.
Ker proizvajalci ZDA niso sodelovali, je Komisija za ugotavljanje razumne in verjetne izvozne cene za Unijo, navedeno ceno določila na podlagi povprečja za vse namembne kraje za izvoz.
The NBB claimed that the Commission failed to explain why it used the average US export prices to third countries when establishing a likely Union export price rather than using the higher export price to Canada.
Uporaba najvišje izvozne cene, kot je zahteval nacionalni odbor za biodizel, ne bi bila primerna metoda, tako kot bi bilo neprimerno uporabiti najnižjo izvozno ceno.
It also contends that the Commission failed to explain the basis for the EUR 100 adjustment to the estimated export price to the Union and did not take into account post-importation costs as well as alleged price differences due to different feedstock.
V zvezi s sestavni deli in virom prilagoditve v višini 100 EUR, vključno s stroški po uvozu in razlikami v ceni zaradi surovine, je nacionalni odbor za biodizel navedel praktično enake trditve v zvezi z izračuni, povezanimi z dampingom.
As a result the undercutting analysis would be flawed.
Iz razlogov, navedenih v uvodnih izjavah 51 in 53, se te trditve zavrnejo tudi v zvezi z analizo nelojalnega nižanja cen.
The investigation demonstrated, as described in recital (57) above, that US export prices vary significantly depending on destination.
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav
Therefore, in the absence of cooperation from US producers, in order to establish a reasonable and likely export price to the Union, the Commission established that price on the basis of an average to all export destinations.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
To simply use the highest export price, as claimed by NBB, would not have been an appropriate method in the same way as using the lowest export price would have been inappropriate.
Preglednica 4
With regard to the components and source of the EUR 100 adjustment, including post-importation costs and price differences due to feedstock, the NBB put forward essentially identical claims with regard to the calculations relevant for dumping.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
For the reasons mentioned above in recitals (51) and (53) these claims are rejected also with respect to the undercutting analysis.
Malezija (v metričnih tonah)
Imports from other third countries
Indonezija (v metričnih tonah)
The volume of imports from other third countries developed over the period considered as follows:

Obseg uvoza biodizla iz tretjih držav razen ZDA se je v obravnavanem obdobju znatno zmanjšal, podobno pa se je v skladu s tem zmanjšal tudi tržni delež.
Others (metric tonnes)
Zmanjšanje obsega uvoza iz leta 2013 sovpada z uvedbo protidampinških ukrepov za uvoz biodizla iz Indonezije in Argentine.
Total (metric tonnes)
Tudi povprečna cena se je v istem obdobju znižala za 15 %.
Average price
Gibanje cen je podobno gibanju cen industrije Unije na trgu Unije (glej preglednico 8) in je večinoma posledica znižanja cen surovin.
EUR/tonne)
Čeprav so ravni cen za približno 13 % nižje od povprečne cene Unije, je tržni delež uvoza majhen in nima znatnega učinka na industrijo Unije.
The volume of imports of biodiesel from third countries other than the USA has decreased significantly over the period considered which is reflected in a similar decrease in market share.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
The decrease in import volumes from 2013 coincides with the imposition of anti-dumping measures on imports of biodiesel from Indonesia and Argentina.
Splošne opombe
The average price has also decreased by 15 % during the same period.
V skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe so bili proučeni vsi pomembni ekonomski kazalniki, ki so vplivali na položaj industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
The price trend is similar to the trend for the Union industry prices on the Union market (Table 8 below) and can mainly be attributed to a decrease in feed stock prices.
Komisija je za določitev škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
Albeit the price levels are approximately 13 % below the average Union price, the market share of these imports is low and does not have any significant impact on the Union industry.
Komisija je makroekonomske kazalnike ocenila na podlagi podatkov, povezanih z vsemi proizvajalci Unije, mikroekonomske kazalnike pa na podlagi preverjenih podatkov, ki jih je prejela od vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
Economic situation of the Union industry
Za oba sklopa podatkov je bilo ugotovljeno, da sta reprezentativna za gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
General remarks
Makroekonomski kazalniki so proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje, tržni delež, rast, zaposlenost, produktivnost, višina stopnje dampinga in okrevanje od preteklega dampinga.
In accordance with Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, an examination of all relevant economic indicators having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered was carried out.
Mikroekonomski kazalniki so povprečne cene na enoto, stroški na enoto, stroški dela, zaloge, dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala.
For the injury determination, the Commission distinguished between macroeconomic and microeconomic injury indicators.
Makroekonomski kazalniki
The Commission evaluated the macroeconomic indicators on the basis of data related to all Union producers and the microeconomic indicators on the basis of verified data from the sampled Union producers.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Both sets of data were found to be representative of the economic situation of the Union industry.
Celotna proizvodnja Unije, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibale na naslednji način:
The macroeconomic indicators are: production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of the dumping margin, and recovery from past dumping.
Preglednica 5
The microeconomic indicators are: average unit prices, unit cost, labour costs, inventories, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments, and ability to raise capital.
Vir: Podatki, ki jih je predložil Evropski odbor za biodizel (vložnik).
Macroeconomic indicators
Obseg proizvodnje (v metričnih tonah)
Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Proizvodna zmogljivost (v metričnih tonah)
The total Union production, production capacity and capacity utilisation developed over the period considered as follows:
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Table 5
Proizvodna zmogljivost je v obravnavanem obdobju ostala razmeroma stabilna (+ 4 %), vendar se je obseg proizvodnje znatno povečal med letom 2012 in koncem obdobja preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
Source: Data provided by EBB (the applicant)
To povečanje obsega proizvodnje je deloma posledica povečanja potrošnje Unije v istem obdobju, vendar sovpada tudi z uvedbo protidampinških ukrepov za uvoz biodizla iz Indonezije in Argentine, ki je imela jasno pozitiven učinek na obseg proizvodnje industrije Unije.
Production volume (metric tonnes)
Zaradi stabilne proizvodne zmogljivosti in povečanega obsega proizvodnje se je izkoriščenost zmogljivosti v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 30 % in ob koncu obdobja preiskave v zvezi s pregledom znašala 69 %.
Production capacity (metric tonnes)
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel trdi, da nezaupni izpolnjeni vprašalniki nekaterih vzorčenih družb kažejo veliko stopnjo izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, ki znaša od 78 % do vsaj 93 %.
Capacity utilisation
Zato trdi, da je nižja stopnja povprečne izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti celotne industrije posledica strukturnih dejavnikov in ne uvoza.
Whilst the production capacity remained relatively stable during the period considered (+ 4 %), the production volumes increased significantly as from 2012 until the end of the review investigation period.
Zato se izkoriščenost zmogljivosti po njegovem mnenju ne bi smela upoštevati kot kazalnik, ki kaže, da industrija biodizla v Uniji še vedno okreva od preteklega dampinga.
This increase in production volumes is partly explained by the increase in Union consumption for the same period but also coincides with the imposition of anti-dumping measures on imports of biodiesel from Indonesia and Argentina, which clearly had a positive effect on the Union industry production volumes.
Te trditve ni mogoče sprejeti.
