Following the imposition of the definitive measures, Chinese producers subject to duties modified their market behaviour and started focusing on higher-end more expensive product types, such as decorated and artistic candles, scented candles, and candles in glasses whereas the core products produced and sold by the Union industry remain tea-lights and pillar candles.
Zato so za namene te preiskave pomembni le rezultati analize nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen za zadevni izdelek kot celoto.
Moreover, the party claimed that for a specific product type, namely white, unscented tea lights, considered to be comparable to products of the Union industry, the Commission found that the Chinese exporting producers were undercutting the prices of the Union industry by 6 %.
Že v prvotni preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da na trgu Unije [11] obstaja veliko različnih vrst izdelkov in da so bili proizvajalci Unije bolj osredotočeni na proizvodnjo standardnih vrst sveč, kot so čajne svečke in stebraste sveče, čeprav bi lahko proizvajali vse vrste sveč.
However, as mentioned in recital 85 above, the price undercutting was established by comparing prices for all the product types reported by the Chinese exporting producers, namely 26 product types with the product types reported by the Union industry.
Ne glede na to pa so institucije v prvotni preiskavi [12] sklenile, da je treba sveče, proizvedene v LRK in izvožene v Unijo, in sveče, ki se proizvajajo in prodajajo v LRK, ter sveče, ki jih proizvaja industrija Unije in jih prodaja na trgu Unije, obravnavati kot podobni izdelek v smislu osnovne uredbe.
Indeed, the present investigation cannot limit itself to one particular product type.
Kot pri prvotni preiskavi Komisija potrjuje, da se pri analizi nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen upošteva dejstvo, da na trgu obstajajo različne vrste sveč.
On the contrary, it needs to analyse the product under review as a whole.
Primerjava cen je tako kot pri prvotni preiskavi opravljena na osnovi istih ali podobnih vrst izdelkov [13].
Therefore, only the results of the undercutting analysis for the product concerned as a whole are relevant for the purposes of this investigation.
V ta namen so bile oblikovane kontrolne številke izdelka (KŠI) za posamezne vrste sveč na trgu, primerjava cen pa je izvedena na podlagi istih KŠI.
The original investigation already pointed out that there is a high variety of product types available in the Union market [11] and that although Union producers could produce all types of candles they were more focussed on the production of standard types of candles such as tea lights and pillar candles.
Preiskava je pokazala, da ob pregledu celotnega obsega izdelka, ki se pregleduje, nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen s strani vzorčenih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni bilo ugotovljeno.
Nevertheless, the Institutions concluded in the original investigation [12] that the candles produced in the PRC and exported to the Union and the candles produced and sold in the PRC and those produced and sold by the Union Industry in the Union market were to be considered as being like product within the meaning of the basic Regulation.
Treba je poudariti, da je treba izračune in oceno za nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen opraviti za celotni nabor podobnih izdelkov, zato je treba zavrniti trditev, da je nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen, ugotovljeno za eno KŠI, treba šteti kot merodajno za skupne rezultate izračunov nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen.
As was the case in the original investigation, the Commission confirms that the price undercutting analysis takes into account the fact that various types of candles exist in the market.
Količina, cene in tržni delež uvoza iz LRK, za katerega velja dajatev nič
The price comparison is thus made on the basis of the same or similar product types as was the case in the original investigation [13].
V obravnavanem obdobju se je količina uvoza v Unijo, za katerega velja dajatev nič, gibala, kot sledi:
To this end, product control numbers (PCN) are created for the various types of candles existing in the market and the price comparison is made on the basis of the same PCN.
Tabela 4
The investigation showed that no price undercutting was found to exist for the sampled Chinese exporting producers when looking at the entire scope of the product under review.
Količina in tržni delež zadevnega uvoza, za katerega velja dajatev nič
It should be stressed that undercutting must be calculated and assessed for the whole range of the like product, therefore the claim that the undercutting found on one PCN should be deemed conclusive for the overall results of the undercutting calculations, has to be rejected.

During the period considered the volume of imports subject to zero duty into the Union developed as follows:
Količina uvoza iz LRK, za katerega velja dajatev nič, se je v obravnavanem obdobju znižala za 4 %.
Table 4
Gre za največji del kitajskega uvoza, ki predstavlja dve tretjini uvoza med OPP.
Volume and market shares of imports subject to zero duty concerned
Informacije, ki jih je Komisija zbrala med to preiskavo, kažejo, da je prodaja teh proizvajalcev izvoznikov vključevala podobni izdelek kot celoto in je zato pomenila konkurenco ključnim vrstam izdelkov industrije EU (tj. čajnim svečkam in stebrastim svečam).
Database 14(6) and Comext data.
Ta sklep potrjujejo tudi ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave 67 te uredbe.
Market share (%)
V obravnavanem obdobju so se cene uvoza izdelka, ki se pregleduje, s poreklom iz LRK, za katerega velja dajatev nič, povečale za 13 % in so bile višje od cen industrije Unije.
The volume of imports subject to zero duty from the PRC decreased by 4 % during the period considered.
Tabela 5
They represent the biggest part of Chinese imports, accounting for two thirds of imports during the RIP.
Cene uvoza, za katerega velja dajatev nič
The information gathered by the Commission during this investigation, showed that the sales of these exporting producers covered the like product as a whole and are therefore also in competition with the core types of the EU industry (namely tea-lights and pillar candles).
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav
This conclusion is corroborated by findings referred to in recital 67 hereof.
Tabela v nadaljevanju prikazuje gibanje uvoza iz drugih držav v obravnavanem obdobju.
During the period considered prices of imports subject to zero duty from the PRC of the product under review increased by 13 % and were higher than the prices of the Union industry.
Tabela 6
Table 5
Cena v EUR/tono
Prices of imports subject to zero duty
Uvoz iz drugih držav se je od leta 2011 do OPP povečal za 13 %, kar pomeni, da se je njegov tržni delež glede na skupno potrošnjo povečal za 1 odstotno točko, in sicer s 7,8 % na 8,8 %.
Imports from other third countries
Cene so se v istem obdobju zvišale za 9 %.
The table below shows the development of imports from other countries during the period considered.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije

Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe proučila vse gospodarske dejavnike, ki vplivajo na stanje industrije Unije.
Price EUR/tonne
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 71 in 72, se pri analizi škode gospodarski položaj industrije Unije ocenjuje na podlagi kazalnikov, kot so proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje, tržni delež in rast, zaposlenost, produktivnost, višina dejanske stopnje dampinga in okrevanje od preteklega dampinga, povprečne cene na enoto, stroški proizvodnje, dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala, zaloge in stroški dela.
Imports from other countries have increased from 2011 until the RIP by 13 %, thus increasing their market share on total consumption by 1 percentage point, i.e. from 7,8 % to 8,8 %.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Prices increased by 9 % during the same period.
Spodnja tabela kaže, da se je v obravnavanem obdobju proizvodnja industrije Unije razvijala v skladu s potrošnjo.
Economic situation of the Union industry
Tabela 7
In accordance with Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined all economic factors having a bearing on the state of the Union industry.
Celotna proizvodnja industrije Unije
As mentioned in recitals 71 and 72, for the purpose of the injury analysis, the economic situation of the Union industry is assessed on the basis of such indicators as production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share and growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of actual dumping margin and recovery from past dumping, average unit prices, cost of production, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital, stocks and labour costs.

Povečanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije se odraža v povečanju tržnega deleža industrije Unije, kar kaže na to, da je industrija nekoliko povečala svojo prisotnost na trgu.
The sales volume of the Union industry increased by 3 % between 2011 and the RIP which is reflected in an increase of the market share of the Union industry.

Zaposlovanje
The increase in sales volume of the Union industry is reflected in an increase in the market share of the Union industry indicating that the industry has slightly grown its presence in the market.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je zaposlovanje gibalo pozitivno zaradi povečanja proizvodnje.
Table 10
Zaradi tega je bila zaposlena dodatna delovna sila.
Union industry's market share and growth
Relativno povečanje zaposlovanja je preseglo povečanje proizvodnje, zato je prišlo do začasnega zmanjšanja produktivnosti, izračunane v smislu proizvodnje v tonah na zaposlenega na leto.

Employment
Zaposlovanje in produktivnost
The investigation showed that employment followed a positive trend following increase in production.

This has led to additional workforce being employed.
Produktivnost (enota/zaposlenega)
As the relative increase in employment was higher than that of production, a temporary decrease of productivity calculated as output in tonnes per person employed per year occurred.
Višina dejanske stopnje dampinga in okrevanje po preteklem dampingu
Table 11
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 45 zgoraj, je povprečna stopnja dampinga, določena za LRK, med OPP ostala visoka.
Employment and productivity
Vendar analiza kazalnikov škode dokazuje, da je industrija okrevala po preteklem dampingu.

Productivity (unit/employee)
Tehtano povprečje prodajnih cen na enoto vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije pri prodaji nepovezanim strankam v Uniji se je od leta 2011 do konca OPP povečalo za 7 %.
Magnitude of actual dumping margin and recovery from past dumping
Zvišali so se tudi povprečni stroški proizvodnje, vendar samo za 4 %, predvsem zaradi povečanja stroškov surovin in stroškov dela.
As indicated in recital 45 above the average dumping margin established for the PRC remained high during the RIP.
Tabela 12
However, analysis of the injury indicators brought evidence that the industry has recovered from the past dumping practices.

The weighted average unit sales prices of the sampled Union producers to unrelated customers in the Union increased by 7 % from 2011 until the end of the RIP.
Povprečna prodajna cena na enoto v Uniji nepovezanim strankam (EUR/tono)
The average costs of production increased as well, but only by 4 %, mainly due to the increase in the costs of raw materials and the labour costs.

Table 13
Donosnost naložb (%)
Profitability, cash flow, investment, return on investment
Dobičkonosnost vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije je bila določena tako, da se je dobiček pred obdavčitvijo od prodaje na ravni franko tovarna izdelka, ki se pregleduje, nepovezanim strankam v Uniji izrazil kot odstotek prihodkov od zadevne prodaje.
Profitability (%)
Prodaja vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije je bila v obravnavanem obdobju dobičkonosna.
Cash flow
Stopnje dobičkonosnosti niso dosegle ciljnega dobička v višini 6,5 %, ki bi ga industrija lahko pričakovala v normalnih konkurenčnih pogojih, če ne bi bilo dampinškega uvoza.
Investments
Navedeni ciljni dobiček je bil določen tudi v prvotni preiskavi.
Return on investments (%)
Gibanje denarnega toka v obravnavanem obdobju kaže, da je industrija Unije uspela ostati finančno trdna in je zaradi tega lahko deloma sama financirala nove naložbe.
The profitability of the sampled Union producers was established by expressing the pre-tax profit on the ex-works sales of the product under review to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales.
Raven naložb se je več kot podvojila v primerjavi z ravnmi industrije Unije v obdobju prvotne preiskave (tj. v letu 2007).
The sales of the sampled Union producers were profitable during the period considered.
To kaže, da je industrija sposobna zbrati potreben kapital.
The levels of profitability have not reached the target profit of 6,5 %, which the industry could have expected to obtain in normal conditions of competition, in the absence of dumped imports.
Tudi donosnost naložb se je popravila in v veliki meri odraža gibanje dobičkonosnosti v obravnavanem obdobju.
This target profit was also established in the original investigation.
Zaloge
The Union industry managed to stay financially sound as illustrated by the development of cash flow over the period considered, allowing it to partially auto finance new investments.
Zaloge so v obravnavanem obdobju ostale v glavnem stabilne in predstavljajo od 16 % do 17 % proizvodnje vzorčenih družb.
The level of investments has more than doubled compared to the levels of the Union industry during the IP of the original investigation (i.e. the year 2007).
Raven zalog je sicer nižja kot v prvotni preiskavi, a je vseeno relativno visoka in jo je mogoče pojasniti s sezonsko naravo izdelka, ki se pregleduje, prav tako pa je povezana s strategijo trgovcev na drobno, da nabavljajo sproti glede na povpraševanje.
This points out that the industry has got the capacity to raise the necessary capital.
Tabela 14
Return on investment also recovered and reflects to a large extent the evolution of profitability during the period considered.
Končne zaloge
Inventories remained by and large stable over the period considered representing between 16 % to 17 % of the production of the sampled companies.
Stroški dela
This relative high stock level, although lower than in the original investigation, can be explained by the seasonality of the product under review and is also linked to the strategy of retailers to source their needs on call.
Povprečni stroški dela vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije so se v obravnavanem obdobju povečali za 6 %.

Sklep o položaju industrije Unije
Labour costs
Ugotovitve sedanje preiskave kažejo, da gospodarski položaj industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju kaže znake okrevanja.
The average labour costs of the sampled Union producers increased by 6 % in the period considered.
Številni kazalniki, kot so obseg proizvodnje, proizvodna zmogljivost, obseg prodaje, prodajne cene, tržni delež in zaposlovanje, so se gibali pozitivno.
Table 15
Poleg tega so se popravili tudi kazalniki uspešnosti, kot sta dobičkonosnost in denarni tok.
Average labour costs per employee (EUR)
Na podlagi tega je mogoče sklepati, da industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju in zlasti med OPP ni utrpela znatne škode.
Conclusion on the situation of the Union industry
E. VERJETNOST PONOVITVE ŠKODE
The findings of the current investigation point to the conclusion that the Union industry's economic situation has shown signs of recovery over the period considered.
Kot je prikazano zgoraj v uvodni izjavi 112, industrija Unije med OPP ni utrpela znatne škode.
A number of indicators such as production volume, production capacity, sales volume, sales prices, market share and employment developed positively.
V skladu s členom 11(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo zato proučeno, ali bi zaradi izteka veljavnih ukrepov lahko prišlo do ponovitve škode.
Moreover, the performance indicators such as profitability and cash flow also recovered.
V zvezi s tem je bil proučen morebiten vpliv kitajskega uvoza na trg in industrijo Unije.
This leads to the conclusion that the Union industry did not suffer material injury during the period considered and in particular during the RIP.
Analiza je bila osredotočena na trend potrošnje trga Unije, prosto zmogljivost, trgovinske tokove in privlačnost trga Unije ter določanje cen vseh kitajskih proizvajalcev v EU in na trgih tretjih držav.
E. LIKELIHOOD OF RECURRENCE OF INJURY
Potrošnja v Uniji
As demonstrated above in recital 112, the Union industry did not suffer material injury during the RIP.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je potrošnja Unije v osnovi ostala stabilna in da se izdelek, ki se pregleduje, na trg Unije uvaža v zelo raznolikem naboru vrst izdelkov.
Therefore, in accordance with Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation, it was examined whether the expiry of the measures in force would be likely to result in a recurrence of injury.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je obseg dampinškega uvoza zmanjšal za 34 %.
In this respect, the potential impact of the Chinese imports on the Union market and the Union industry was analysed.
V istem obdobju se je zmanjšal tudi uvoz izdelkov kitajskih družb, za katere ukrepi ne veljajo, in sicer za 4 %.
The analysis focused on the consumption trend of the Union market, spare capacity, trade flows and attractiveness of the Union market, pricing behaviour of all the Chinese producers both in the EU and on third markets.
Prosta zmogljivost, trgovinski tokovi in privlačnost trga Unije ter določanje cen kitajskih izvoznikov
Consumption in the Union
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 49 do 58 zgoraj, ni dokazov, da bi v LRK obstajale znatna neizkoriščena proizvodnja ali proste zmogljivosti.
The investigation showed that Union consumption remained fundamentally stable and that the product under review is imported into the Union market in a wide range of product types.
Poleg tega se zdi, da trg Unije kljub svoji velikosti ni posebej privlačen za kitajske izvoznike.
During the period considered the volume of dumped imports decreased by 34 %.
Delež kitajskega uvoza v Unijo je sicer največji, vendar so kitajske dampinške izvozne cene za Unijo višje od prodajnih cen industrije Unije.
At the same time also imports from Chinese companies not subject to measures decreased, namely by 4 %.
To še zlasti velja za cene kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, za katere ukrepi ne veljajo, ki bolj neposredno tekmujejo s proizvodnjo Unije in kjer konkurenca temelji skoraj izključno na ceni.
Spare capacity, trade flows and attractiveness of the Union market, and pricing behaviour of Chinese exporters
Ti kitajski izvozniki so v obravnavanem obdobju na trg Unije še naprej prodajali podobne ali celo manjše količine in niso poskušali povečati svojega tržnega deleža.
As mentioned above in recitals 49 to 58 above, there is no evidence that there is any substantial unused production or spare capacity in the PRC.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 61, so povprečne kitajske izvozne cene za trge tretjih držav višje od cen industrije Unije.
Furthermore, the Union market does not appear to be particularly attractive for Chinese exporters, despite its size.
Zato se ne zdi, da bi kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike mikalo, da bi v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov svoj izvoz namesto v tretje države preusmerili v Unijo.
Although the share of Chinese imports into the Union is the largest one, dumped Chinese export prices to the Union are higher than the Union industry's sales prices.
V pripombah k razkritju je ena od strani trdila, da bi bil trg Unije največji odprti trg za sveče na svetu in zato ni verjetno, da trg Unije v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov ne bi bil privlačen.
This also applies specifically to the prices exercised by the Chinese exporting producers not subject to measures, which compete more directly with the Union production and where the competition takes place almost exclusively on price.
Navedena stran tudi trdi, da kitajski izvozniki omogočajo različne sheme izogibanja in da so po objavi razkritja kitajski proizvajalci sveč in trgovci s svečami poslali številne ponudbe evropskim trgovcem in proizvajalcem.
These Chinese exporters continued to sell similar or even lower quantities to the Union market during the period considered and did not attempt to gain market share.
Vse zgoraj navedeno bi lahko dokazovalo, da je trg Unije še naprej privlačen za kitajske izvoznike.
Furthermore, as mentioned in recital 61 the Chinese average export prices to third country markets are higher than prices of the Union industry.
Vendar pa je analiza gibanja uvoza, ki izvira od proizvajalcev izvoznikov, za katere ukrepi ne veljajo, v zadnjih petih letih pokazala, da se količina njihovega uvoza po uvedbi ukrepov ni bistveno povečala.
Therefore, the Chinese exporting producers do not seem to be tempted to redirect their exports to third countries towards the Union should measures be repealed.
Poleg tega se je štirim od petih izmed teh proizvajalcev izvoznikov izvoz v Unijo v primerjavi z obdobjem prvotne preiskave zmanjšal.
In its comments to the disclosure, one party claimed that the Union market would be the largest open market for candles in the world and therefore it is implausible to contend that the Union market would not be an attractive one if measures were repealed.
V tem obdobju je svoj izvoz v Unijo povečal samo en proizvajalec izvoznik.
