The absence of undercutting, which is only one of the factors to be looked at in the injury analysis, does thus not mean that the dumped imports could not have caused injury.
Glede trditve, da mora Komisija količinsko opredeliti dejansko škodo, ki jo je povzročil dampinški uvoz, in škodo, ki so jo povzročili drugi znani dejavniki, je Komisija menila, kot je bilo že navedeno v uvodni izjavi (201) začasne uredbe, da se je za vse druge dejavnike ugotovilo, da tudi ob upoštevanju njihovega morebitnega skupnega učinka ne prekinejo vzročne zveze med škodo in dampinškim uvozom.
Union industry prices were the result of the strong price depression exerted by the low-priced dumped imports.
Glede cen in določanja cen v obravnavanem obdobju je kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik trdil, da je industrija Unije začela zniževati cene na začetku obravnavanega obdobja.
Without such strong price pressure, there would have not been any reason for the Union industry to decrease its prices to such low levels.
Eden od uporabnikov je trdil tudi, da je bila intenzivna cenovna konkurenca neposreden učinek tega, da so Unija in proizvajalci izvozniki poskušali ohraniti ali povečati obseg prodaje kljub zmanjšanju povpraševanja.
The Union producers had no option but to sell below costs in order to defend their market share and sustain an economical level of production because of the severe price pressure exerted by the dumped imports on their sales prices.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (158) začasne uredbe, se te trditve zavrnejo.
Therefore, these arguments are rejected.
Prvič, nikjer ni dokaza, da je cene začela zniževati industrija Unije.
Furthermore, concerning the argument that the Commission must quantify the actual injury caused by the dumped imports and the injury caused by other known factors, the Commission considered that, as already set out in recital (201) of the provisional Regulation, all other factors, even considering their possible combined effect, were not found to break the causal link between the injury and the dumped imports.
Drugič, za industrijo Unije ne bilo ekonomsko smiselno, da bi začela izdelke prodajati z veliko izgubo, ne da bi bila v to prisiljena.
Concerning prices and price setting during the period considered, a Chinese exporting producer argued that the Union industry initiated the price decreases at the start of the period considered.
Tretjič, opozoriti je treba, da stopnja dampinškega uvoza po vedno nižjih cenah ter zmanjšanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije in nižanje cen jasno sovpadata, kar je privedlo do večjih izgub za proizvajalce Unije.
One user also argued that the intensive price competition had been rather the direct effect of Union and exporting producers having sought to maintain or increase volumes in the face of shrinking demand.
Kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik je nadalje trdil, da je težko razumeti, kako lahko višje cene, ki jih zaračunavajo proizvajalci izvozniki, povzročijo nižanje cen.
As set out in recital (158) of the provisional Regulation, these arguments are rejected.
Japonski proizvajalec je zatrjeval, da Komisiji ni uspelo prikazati nobene povezave med padci cen v Uniji in uvozom zadevnega izdelka iz zadevnih držav.
First, there is no evidence that the Union industry initiated these price decreases.
Uporabnik je izrazil dvom o veljavnosti glavnih trditev Komisije, saj ni upoštevala dejstva, da nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen ni bilo.
Second, it would not make sense economically for the Union industry to start selling products at high losses without being forced to do so.
V istem okviru je eden uporabnik pripomnil, da je zmožnost proizvajalca, da vzdrži dolgotrajno cenovno vojno, odvisna od številnih dejavnikov, kot so učinkovitost, vhodni stroški in kakovost izdelka, in to ne glede na velikost, moč in strategijo skupine, ki ji pripadajo proizvajalci.
Finally, it is recalled that there is a clear coincidence in time between the level of dumped imports at continuously decreasing prices and the Union industry's loss of sales volume and price depression, resulting in higher losses for the Union producers.
Trditve zainteresiranih strani se zavrnejo iz naslednjih razlogov.
Furthermore, the Chinese exporting producer claimed that it is difficult to see how higher prices, charged by the exporting producers, can cause price depression.
Ne glede na pripombe iz uvodne izjave (87) lahko agresivne cenovne strategije zlasti na trgu Unije iz naslednjega razloga dlje vzdržijo proizvajalci izvozniki kot proizvajalci Unije: tržni delež proizvajalcev izvoznikov na njihovih domačih trgih je veliko večji kot tržni delež proizvajalcev Unije v Uniji.
A Japanese producer argued that the Commission fails to demonstrate any correlation between the price declines in the Union and the imports of the product concerned from the countries concerned.
Trg Unije je tudi odprti trg, na domače trge proizvajalcev izvoznikov zadevnih držav pa drugi konkurenti, vključno s proizvajalci Unije, ne morejo enostavno vstopiti.
A user questioned the validity of the main arguments of the Commission since it disregarded the absence of price undercutting.
Ker je na svetovnem trgu zaradi skokovito naraščajočega poslovanja v obdobju 2003–2010 obstajala presežna zmogljivost, so konkurenčni proizvajalci Unije in proizvajalci izvozniki v obravnavanem obdobju začeli agresivno določati cene.
In the same context, one user made the comment that the ability of a producer to sustain a long-term price war depends on a number of factors, such as efficiency, input costs and product quality, apart from the size, strength and strategy of the group to which the producers belong.
Komisija je v tem okviru navedla, da so v obdobju preiskave vsi proizvajalci izvozniki razen enega poročali o višji proizvodni zmogljivosti od dejanske proizvodnje.
The arguments of the interested parties are rejected for the following reasons.
V zvezi s povezavo med padci cen v Uniji in uvozom zadevnega izdelka obstaja neposredna povezava glede znižanja cen, čeprav ne v enaki meri kot glede obsega.
Apart from the comments made in recital (87) aggressive price strategies in particular on the Union market can be sustained longer by the exporting producers than the Union producers for the following reason: the market share of the exporting producers on their domestic markets is much higher than the market share of the Union producers in the Union.
Zaradi vsega navedenega Komisija meni, kot je že navedeno v uvodni izjavi (145) začasne uredbe, da je škoda zlasti ponazorjena z omejitvijo, ki so jo utrpeli proizvajalci Unije zaradi močnega pritiska na cene, ki se izvaja na njihove prodajne cene.
The Union market is also an open market whereas the domestic markets of the exporting producers of the countries concerned cannot be easily penetrated by other competitors, including the Union producers.
Zaradi tega pritiska so bili prisiljeni prodajati po cenah, nižjih od stroškov, da bi obdržali svoj tržni delež na trgu Unije, kar jim je omogočilo, da so ohranili trajnostno raven proizvodnje.
As a result of the overcapacity on the world market due to the booming business during the years 2003-2010, the aggressive price setting between the competing Union and exporting producers started during the period considered.
Ker ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb glede učinkov dampinškega uvoza, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav od (181) do (183) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
In this context, the Commission noted that all but one exporting producer reported a higher production capacity than the actual production during the IP.
Učinek drugih dejavnikov
Finally, concerning the correlation between the price declines in the Union and the imports of the product concerned, there is a direct correlation as regards the decrease of prices, although not to the same extent as regards volume.
Gospodarska kriza
For all the above reasons, the Commission considered that, as already set out in recital (145) of the provisional Regulation, the injury is particularly illustrated by the restrain the Union producers experienced because of the severe price pressure exerted on their sales prices.
Ena od zainteresiranih strani je navedla, da je bila industrija Unije v nasprotju s sklepi iz uvodne izjave (185) začasne uredbe v obravnavanem obdobju premalo uspešna, zlasti ob zmanjšanju povpraševanja po konvencionalnih vrstah zadevnega izdelka na trgu Unije.
This pressure forced them to sell below costs to defend their market share on the Union market, which allowed them to maintain a sustainable level of production.
Druga zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je približno 11-odstotni upad potrošnje Unije bistveni element pri tem, zakaj industrija Unije ni utrpela znatne škode zaradi uvoza proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
In the absence of any other comments as regard the effects of the dumped imports, the conclusions set out in recitals (181) to (183) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Ta zainteresirana stran trdi, da gibanje v vzorcu uspešnosti industrije Unije v smislu obsega prodaje sledi natančno istemu vzorcu kot upad potrošnje Unije in da je zato odločilen element škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Effect of other factors
Kot je potrjeno v uvodnih izjavah (121) in (156) začasne uredbe, je dejansko obstajal podoben razvoj pri potrošnji Unije in uspešnosti obsega prodaje industrije Unije, čeprav je bilo zmanjšanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije nekoliko večje od upada potrošnje.
The economic crisis
Vendar je, kot je bilo že navedeno, ključen dejavnik za določitev škode ta, da so bili proizvajalci Unije prisiljeni prodajati po cenah, nižjih od stroškov.
One interested party alleged that, contrary to the conclusions reached in recital (185) of the provisional Regulation, the Union industry was underperforming during the period considered, in particular by the falling demand for conventional types of the product concerned on the Union market.
Trditve zainteresirane strani v zvezi s tem bi bilo zato treba zavrniti.
Another interested party claimed that the decrease of the Union consumption by around 11 % is the crucial element why the Union industry has not suffered material injury from the imports of the exporting producers.
Komisija vztraja pri tem, da je gospodarska kriza povzročila zmanjšanje povpraševanja v Uniji, kot je potrjeno v uvodni izjavi (184) začasne uredbe, vendar da to ni glavni vzrok za nastalo škodo.
This interested party argues that the trend in the pattern of the Union industry's performance in terms of sales volume follows precisely the same path as the decrease of the Union consumption and therefore is the most crucial element for the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Sklepi iz uvodnih izjav (184) in (185) začasne uredbe se zato potrdijo.
As acknowledged in recitals (121) and (156) of the provisional Regulation there was indeed a similar development of the Union consumption and of the sales volume performance of the Union industry, even though the decrease of the Union industry's sales volume slightly exceeded the decrease in consumption.
Nezadostna konkurenčnost proizvajalcev Unije
However, as mentioned before, the crucial factor for the determination of injury is that the Union producers were forced to sell below costs.
Kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da poleg dampinškega uvoza obstajajo še številni drugi dejavniki, ki pojasnjujejo izzive proizvajalcev Unije, kot so visoke cene surovin, trgovanje s pravicami do emisije CO2 ter, kar je morda najpomembneje, gospodarska negotovost in strm upad ravni potrošnje, zlasti v Južni Evropi.
Furthermore, the Commission maintains that the economic crisis caused a contraction of demand in the Union as acknowledged in recital (184) of the provisional Regulation but that it is not the root cause for the injury.
Vendar te trditve ne zagotavljajo zadostne utemeljitve, zakaj je bila industrija Unije leta 2010 in v letih pred tem še vedno zmožna dosegati približno 14-odstotni dobiček, glede na to, da je morebiten sorazmerno slabši položaj v smislu stroškov obstajal že leta 2010 in v letih pred tem.
In this respect, while the consumption in the Union fell between 2011 and 2012, the consumption in 2012 was approximately the same as that in 2010.
Ta trditev je zato zavrnjena.
Nevertheless, in 2010, the Union industry had a profit of 14 %, while it recorded a loss of almost 10 % in 2012.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
As a result, even if the economic crisis contributed to the injury, it could not be concluded that it would break the causal link between the dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Ker ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb glede uvoza iz tretjih držav, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav (189) in (190) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
The conclusions reached in recitals (184) and (185) of the provisional Regulation are therefore confirmed.
Izvoz industrije Unije
Union producers are not sufficiently competitive
Dva proizvajalca izvoznika sta trdila, da so podatki, ki se nanašajo na izvoz proizvajalcev Unije, dokaz za njihovo agresivno politiko oblikovanja cen, saj so te cene precej nižje od tehtanega povprečja prodajnih cen Unije na trgu Unije in celo nižje od njihove neto cene.
The Chinese exporting producer claimed that there are many other factors than the dumped imports that explain the challenges of the Union producers, such as high raw material pricing, CO2 allowance trading and most importantly perhaps, the economic uncertainties and sharply reduced consumption levels, in particular in Southern Europe.
Drug proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da bi morala Komisija pravilno ločiti in razlikovati škodljive učinke gospodarske krize in slabe rezultate izvoza industrije Unije.
There may be a comparative disadvantage for Union producers if many other factors (including the high raw material pricing, etc.) would be compared to the exporting producers, such as in Russia, China and USA.
Drug uporabnik je trdil, da sklep Komisije o tem, da se je izvoz ohranil na visoki ravni in da ni bil odločilen za škodo industrije Unije, ni podprt s podatki, saj se je v obravnavanem obdobju izvoz zmanjšal za 22,7 %, medtem ko se je domača prodaja zmanjšala za 11 %.
However, these arguments do not provide a sufficient explanation why the Union industry was still able to achieve profits of about 14 % in 2010 and the years before, given that this possible comparative disadvantage in cost terms was no different in 2010 and the years before.
Te trditve se zavrnejo iz naslednjih razlogov.
Therefore, this claim is rejected.
Nižjo izvozno prodajno ceno na enoto, ki so jo zaračunavali proizvajalci Unije v primerjavi s ceno na trgu Unije, bi bilo treba obravnavati ob upoštevanju dejstva, da vključuje velik del GOES druge kakovosti, ki se predvsem izvažajo in prodajajo s popustom.
Imports from third countries
Poleg tega je bilo v uvodni izjavi (193) začasne uredbe že potrjeno, da je k škodi prispeval tudi izvoz, vendar ni prekinil vzročne povezave med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
In the absence of any comments as regard the imports from third countries, the conclusions set out in recitals (189) and (190) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb glede učinka izvoza industrije Unije, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav od (191) do (193) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
Export sales performance of the Union industry
Presežna zmogljivost industrije Unije
Two exporting producers argued that the data relating to the exports of the Union producers constitutes evidence of their aggressive pricing policy, since these prices are significantly below the weighted average Union sales prices in the Union market and even below their cost price.
Druga zainteresirana stran je navedla, da v industriji Unije obstaja ogromna presežna zmogljivost ter da je zmanjšanje obsega proizvodnje proizvajalcev Unije večinoma mogoče pripisati zmanjšanju ravni porabe v Uniji in znatnemu zmanjšanju obsega izvoza proizvajalcev Unije, zlasti med letoma 2012 in 2013.
Another exporting producer argued that the Commission should properly separate and distinguish the injurious effect of the economic crisis and the Union industry poor export sales performance.
Ta trditev je bila zavrnjena, saj je domnevna presežna zmogljivost bolj posledica dampinškega uvoza kot pa vzrok škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah od (194) do (197) začasne uredbe.
Another user argued that the conclusion of the Commission that the exporting performance has been maintained at a high level, and has not been decisive for the Union's industry's injury, is not supported by the data because export sales decreased by 22,7 % whereas the domestic sales decreased by 11 % during the period considered.
Ker ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb glede navedenega, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav od (194) do (197) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
These claims were rejected for the following reasons.
Ruski uvoz konvencionalnega razreda
The lower unit sales export price charged by the Union producers compared to the one on the Union market should be seen in the light of the fact that it includes a large proportion of second quality GOES which is mainly exported and sold at a discount.
Ker ni bilo nobenih pripomb glede navedenega, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav (198) in (199) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
Furthermore, it has already been acknowledged in recital (193) of the provisional Regulation that the export performance contributed to the injury, but that it did not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
In the absence of any other comments regarding the effect of the Union industry's export performance, the conclusions reached in recitals (191) to (193) are confirmed.
Ker ni bilo nobenih drugih pripomb glede vzročne zveze, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav od (200) do (202) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
The overcapacity of the Union industry
F. INTERES UNIJE
Another interested party mentioned that the Union industry suffers from a massive overcapacity, and that the decrease in production volumes by the Union producers is mainly attributable to the decline of consumption levels within the Union and the severe reduction in export volumes of the Union producers, in particular between 2012 and 2013.
Uvodne opombe
This claim was rejected since the alleged overcapacity is more a result of the dumped imports rather than a cause of injury suffered by the Union industry, as set out in recitals (194) to (197) of the provisional Regulation.
V skladu s členom 6(1) osnovne uredbe se informacije, ki se nanašajo na obdobje, ki sledi obdobju preiskave, običajno ne upoštevajo.
In the absence of any other comments concerning the above, the conclusions reached in recitals (194) to (197) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Vendar se lahko v okviru določanja, ali obstaja interes Unije, kot je predvideno v členu 21(1) osnovne uredbe, za navedene namene upoštevajo podatki, ki se nanašajo na čas po koncu obdobja preiskave [3].
Russian Imports are Conventional Grade
Uporabniki in proizvajalci izvozniki so poslali pripombe, ki se nanašajo na potrebo po upoštevanju pomembnega razvoja dogodkov po obdobju preiskave.
In the absence of any comments concerning the above, the conclusions reached in recital (198) and (199) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Večina pripomb in trditev, prejetih po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov, je bila povezanih z naslednjim razvojem dogodkov po obdobju preiskave.
Conclusion on causation
Visokoprepustne vrste zadevnega izdelka so na trgu Unije vse redkejše, predvsem zaradi začetka veljavnosti stopnje 1 uredbe o okoljsko primerni zasnovi (kot je bilo že navedeno v uvodni izjavi (233) začasne uredbe), pa tudi ker proizvajalci Unije domnevno niso zmožni oskrbovati trga z zahtevano kakovostjo teh visokoprepustnih vrst izdelka.
In the absence of any other comments with regard to causation, the conclusions reached in recitals (200) to (202) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Poleg tega so se cene zadevnega in podobnega izdelka po obdobju preiskave precej zvišale.
F. UNION INTEREST
Zadevne strani so trdile tudi, da je Komisija podcenjevala učinek začasnih ukrepov na industrijo transformatorjev, zlasti z navedbo prenizkega deleža zadevnega izdelka v celotnih proizvodnih stroških uporabnikov.
Preliminary remarks
Nazadnje so zadevne strani trdile, da proizvajalci Unije znova poslujejo z dobičkom in zato ne potrebujejo več zaščite.
Pursuant to Article 6(1) of the Basic Regulation, information relating to a period subsequent to the investigation period shall normally not be taken into account.
Ti domnevni dogodki po obdobju preiskave, zlasti kombinacija sprememb pravnega okvira, strmega povišanja cen in pomanjkanja določenih vrst izdelka na trgu, so ob upoštevanju posebnih okoliščin primera, če se potrdijo, pomembni za oceno interesa Unije pri uvedbi ustreznih ukrepov.
However, in the context of determining whether there is a Union interest as contemplated in Article 21(1) of the basic Regulation, information relating to a period subsequent to the investigation period may be taken into account for those purposes [3].
Interes industrije Unije
Comments relating to the need to take into consideration important post-investigation period (‘post-IP’) developments were received both from users and from exporting producers.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je bila uvedba ukrepov nepotrebna, ker je bila dobičkonosnost industrije Unije v obdobju po obdobju preiskave visoka zaradi znatno višjih cen, ter da se je trg sam urejal.
Most comments and allegations received after the imposition of provisional measures related to the following developments after the investigation period.
Zato industrija Unija po obdobju preiskave domnevno ni več utrpela škode.
High permeability types of the product concerned are increasingly scarce on the Union market, mainly in view of the entry into force of tier 1 of the EcoDesign Regulation (as already mentioned in recital (233) of the provisional Regulation), but also because the Union producers are allegedly not able to supply the market with the required quality of these high-permeability product types.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (5) zgoraj, je bilo zaradi preverjanja teh trditev opravljenih osem dodatnih preveritvenih obiskov na kraju samem.
Parties also argued that the impact of the provisional measures on the transformer industry had been underestimated by the Commission, in particular by understating the share of the product concerned in the total cost of production of users.
Združenje uporabnikov je po dokončnem razkritju trdilo, da proizvajalci Unije niso več v slabem položaju, glede na to, da delujejo s polno paro in komaj dohajajo povpraševanje.
Finally, it was argued that the Union producers returned to profitability, so they would not need any protection anymore.
Uporabnik je navedel podobno pripombo, in sicer da zaradi nenehnega zviševanja cen pričakuje, da bo stopnja dobička že spomladi leta 2015 presegla 5 %.
These alleged post-IP developments, in particular the combination of a change in the legal framework, a steep increase of prices and a shortage on the market of certain product types, if confirmed, are, given the specific circumstances of the case, relevant for the assessment of the Union interest in imposing appropriate measures.
Vendar je bil v skladu s členom 6(1) osnovne uredbe sklep o škodi sprejet na podlagi preverjenih podatkov iz obdobja preiskave.
Therefore the Commission decided, exceptionally, to further investigate these post-IP developments in the period between July 2014 and May 2015.
Zbiranje in preverjanje podatkov iz obdobja po preiskavi pa je bilo opravljeno v okviru analize interesa Unije.
Interest of the Union industry
Poleg tega analiza škode temelji na številnih dejavnikih, pri čemer je dobičkonosnost le eden od njih.
Some interested parties claimed that the imposition of measures was unnecessary as the profitability of the Union industry attained high levels post-IP due to significantly increased prices and that the market had regulated itself.
Zato je sklep, da je bila industrija Unije v obdobju preiskave v slabem položaju, potrjen.
