The US National Biodiesel Board (‘NBB’) commented that the provisionally selected sample was different from the sample selected in the previous investigations concerning biodiesel and referred to two companies in particular with sizeable production and sales volumes which were not included in the provisional sample.
Zato vključitev katere koli izmed navedenih družb ne bi spremenila reprezentativnosti začasno izbranega vzorca.
However, the two companies identified by NBB were either related to another company with higher sales volumes already included in the sample or had lower sales volume than a provisionally selected company in the same Member State.
Začasno izbrani vzorec se je zato potrdil kot reprezentativni vzorec industrije Unije.
Therefore, the inclusion of either of those two companies would not have changed the representativeness of the provisionally selected sample.
Po končnem razkritju je vlada ZDA trdila, da vzorca, ki predstavlja 30 % industrije, ni mogoče šteti kot reprezentativnega za industrijo biodizla Unije kot celote in da bi bilo treba mikroekonomske kazalnike proučiti širše.
The provisionally selected sample was therefore confirmed as a representative sample of the Union industry.
Vlada ZDA se sklicuje na ugotovitev pritožbenega organa STO v zadevi ES – pritrdilni elementi, v kateri se je vzorec v velikosti 27 % štel za majhnega glede na celoto in bi predstavljal glavni delež samo v primeru razdrobljenih industrijskih panog.
Following final disclosure, the US Government claimed that a sample representing 30 % of the Union industry could not be considered representative of the Union biodiesel industry as a whole and that the microindicators should have been analysed on a broader basis.
Komisija je v nasprotju s preiskavo v zadevi pritrdilni elementi industrijo Unije za namen te preiskave opredelila kot celotno industrijo in ne samo kot vzorčene družbe (uvodna izjava 151).
The US Government refers to the WTO Appelate Body finding in the case EC — Fasteners in which a sample of 27 % was considered low in proportion to the total and would only constitute a major proportion in the case of fragmented industries.
Poleg tega so bili vsi makroekonomski kazalniki ocenjeni na podlagi celotne industrije, na ravni vzorčenih družb pa samo nekateri mikroekonomski kazalniki.
The Commission, contrary to the Fasteners investigation, defined for the purpose of this investigation, the Union industry as the entire industry and not only the sampled companies (recital (151) below).
Vendar je splošna analiza položaja industrije Unije temeljila na oceni mikro- in makroekonomskih kazalnikov.
Furthermore, all macroindicators were assessed on the basis of the entire industry whilst only some microindicators were analysed at the level of the sampled companies.
V vsakem primeru se industrija Unije šteje za razdrobljeno, saj jo sestavlja več kot 200 proizvajalcev po vsej Uniji, ki so večinoma mala in srednja podjetja.
However, the overall analysis of the situation of the Union industry was based on an assessment of both micro-and macroindicators.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da je vzorec, ki predstavlja 30 % industrije Unije, reprezentativen, zato se trditev v skladu s tem zavrne.
In any event, the Union industry is considered to be a fragmented industry since it is composed of over 200 producers located across the Union of which most are small and medium enterprises.
Vzorčenje uvoznikov
Therefore, the Commission concludes that the sample, representing 30 % of the Union industry, is representative and the claim is accordingly rejected.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in da bi v tem primeru lahko izbrala vzorec, je nepovezane uvoznike pozvala, naj zagotovijo informacije, določene v obvestilu o začetku.
Sampling of importers
Le nekaj nepovezanih uvoznikov je predložilo zahtevane informacije in se strinjalo z vključitvijo v vzorec.
To decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked unrelated importers to provide the information specified in the Notice of Initiation.
Zaradi majhnega števila se je Komisija odločila, da vzorčenje ni potrebno.
Only few unrelated importers provided the requested information and agreed to be included in the sample.
Vzorčenje proizvajalcev izvoznikov v ZDA
In view of the low number, the Commission decided that sampling was not necessary.
Da bi se Komisija lahko odločila, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in da bi v tem primeru lahko izbrala vzorec, je vse proizvajalce izvoznike v ZDA pozvala, naj zagotovijo informacije, določene v obvestilu o začetku.
Sampling of exporting producers in the USA
Poleg tega je Komisija pozvala predstavništvo ZDA v Evropski uniji, naj navede morebitne druge proizvajalce izvoznike, ki bi jih zanimalo sodelovanje v preiskavi, in/ali vzpostavi stik z njimi.
To decide whether sampling is necessary and, if so, to select a sample, the Commission asked all exporting producers in the USA to provide the information specified in the Notice of Initiation.
Komisiji je odgovorilo 27 proizvajalcev v ZDA, vendar jih je samo devet predložilo zahtevane podatke o izvozu in/ali domači prodaji iz Priloge I k obvestilu o začetku za namen vzorčenja.
In addition, the Commission asked the mission of the USA to the European Union to identify and/or contact other exporting producers, if any, that could be interested in participating in the investigation.
Nobeden od njih v OPP ni izvažal v Unijo.
27 producers in the USA replied to the Commission but only 9 provided export and/or and domestic sales data requested in Annex I to the Notice of Initiation for the purpose of sampling.
Komisija je izbrala vzorec treh proizvajalcev izvoznikov z največjim obsegom domače prodaje in izvoza.
None of them was exporting to the Union during the RIP.
V skladu s členom 27(2) osnovne uredbe so bila o izboru vzorca opravljena posvetovanja z vsemi znanimi proizvajalci izvozniki in organi ZDA.
The Commission selected a sample of three exporting producers with the highest volume of domestic and export sales.
Pripomb ni bilo.
In accordance with Article 27(2) of the basic Regulation, all known exporting producers concerned, and the authorities of the USA, were consulted on the selection of the sample.
Noben vzorčeni proizvajalec ni predložil izpolnjenega vprašalnika do roka.
No comments were made.
Komisija je 7. oktobra 2014 obvestila tri vzorčene proizvajalce izvoznike, da ni prejela odgovorov.
None of the sampled producers provided any questionnaire reply within the deadline.
Dne 10. oktobra 2014 je en vzorčeni proizvajalec izvoznik obvestil Komisijo o svoji odločitvi, da vprašalnika ne bo izpolnil.
On 7 October 2014 the Commission informed the three sampled exporting producers about this lack of reply.
Preostala dva vzorčena proizvajalca izvoznika sta zaprosila za več podaljšanj roka, ki so bila odobrena, vendar vseeno nista predložila popolnih odgovorov.
On 10 October 2014, one sampled exporting producer informed the Commission that it had chosen no to respond to the questionnaire.
Komisija je 10. novembra 2014 poslala dopis, s katerim je tri vzorčene družbe obvestila, da namerava uporabiti člen 28 osnovne uredbe.
The other two sampled exporting producers requested various extensions to the deadline, which were granted, but no complete replies were submitted.
O tem, da namerava uporabiti člen 28 osnovne uredbe, je obvestila tudi organe ZDA.
On 10 November 2014 the Commission sent a letter informing the three sampled companies about the intention to apply Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Rok za predložitev pripomb na dopis je bil 21. november 2014.
The USA authorities were also informed about the intention of the Commission to apply Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Do 21. novembra 2014 se dve od vzorčenih družb nista odzvali, tretja vzorčena družba pa je pojasnila, da odgovora ne more predložiti v tako kratkem roku.
The deadline for providing comments to the letter was 21 November 2014.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da v preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa ni sodeloval noben proizvajalec izvoznik v ZDA.
By 21 November 2014, two of the sampled companies did not react at all and the other sampled company explained that the time-limit was not sufficient for them to submit their answer.
Zato se je Komisija odločila, da bo uporabila določbe iz člena 28 osnovne uredbe in da se zato lahko na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev sprejmejo pozitivne ali negativne ugotovitve.
The Commission therefore concluded that none of the sampled exporting producers in the USA cooperated in the expiry review investigation.
Izpolnjeni vprašalniki in preveritveni obiski
As a consequence, the Commission decided to apply the provisions of Article 28 of the basic Regulation and, accordingly, that findings, affirmative or negative, may be made on the basis of the facts available.
Komisija je prejela izpolnjene vprašalnike organov ZDA, vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije in štirih uporabnikov/trgovcev.
Questionnaire replies and verification visits
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so se ji zdele potrebne za ugotavljanje subvencioniranja, nastale škode in interesa Unije.
The Commission received questionnaire replies from the authorities of the USA, from the sampled Union producers and from four users/traders.
Preveritveni obiski so bili opravljeni v prostorih naslednjih pristojnih organov Združenih držav Amerike:
The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for a determination of subsidisation, resulting injury and Union interest.

Komisija je 3. junija 2015 vsem zainteresiranim stranem razkrila bistvena dejstva in premisleke, na podlagi katerih je nameravala ohraniti veljavne protisubvencijske ukrepe, ter pozvala vse zainteresirane strani, naj predložijo pripombe.
Disclosure
Komisija je obravnavala pripombe zainteresiranih strani in jih po potrebi upoštevala.
On 3 June 2015, the Commission disclosed to all interested parties the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to maintain the anti-subsidy measures in force and invited all interested parties to comment.
Po končnem razkritju je nacionalni odbor za biodizel zahteval zaslišanje pred pooblaščencem za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih, ki je bilo odobreno.
The Commission considered the comments made by the interested parties and took them into account, where appropriate.
IZDELEK, KI SE PREGLEDUJE, IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
Following final disclosure NBB requested and was granted a hearing with the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings.
Izdelek, ki se pregleduje
PRODUCT UNDER REVIEW AND LIKE PRODUCT
Izdelek, ki se pregleduje, je isti kot v preiskavi, 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 Združenih držav Amerike („izdelek, ki se pregleduje“), ki se trenutno uvrščajo pod oznake KN ex15162098, ex15180091, ex15180099, ex27101943, ex27101946, ex27101947, ex27102011, ex27102015, ex27102017, ex38249092, ex38260010 in ex38260090.
Product under review
Biodizel je obnovljivo gorivo, ki se uporablja v prometnem sektorju kot gorivo za dizelske motorje.
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 United States of America (‘the product under review’), currently falling within CN codes ex15162098, ex15180091, ex15180099, ex27101943, ex27101946, ex27101947, ex27102011, ex27102015, ex27102017, ex38249092, ex38260010 and ex38260090.
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 is a renewable fuel used in the transport sector for diesel engines.
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.
However conventional engines cannot function with pure biodiesel but a blend of mineral diesel and a limited content of biodiesel.
Izraz „ester“ se nanaša na transesterifikacijo rastlinskih olj, natančneje na združitev olja z alkoholom.
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.
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“.
The term ‘ester’ refers to the trans-esterification of vegetable oils, namely, the mingling of the oil with alcohol.
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 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’.
Morebitne različice izdelka v preiskavi ne spremenijo njegove osnovne opredelitve, njegovih lastnosti ali dojemanja različnih strani.
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.
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.
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.
Podobni izdelek
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.
Kot v prvotni preiskavi imata biodizel, ki se prodaja na domačem trgu v ZDA, in ameriški biodizel, ki se prodaja za izvoz, enake osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti ter uporabo.
Like product
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.
As in the original investigation, the biodiesel sold on the domestic market in the USA and the US biodiesel sold for export has the same basic physical and technical characteristics and uses.
Zato sta ta dva izdelka za namene te preiskave podobna izdelka v smislu člena 2(c) osnovne uredbe.
Similarly, the biodiesel produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry has the same basic physical and technical characteristics and uses the product exported from the USA to the Union.
Trditve glede obsega izdelka
Therefore, they are like products for the purposes of the present investigation within the meaning of Article 2(c) of the basic Regulation.
Vlada ZDA je trdila, da je dizelsko gorivo, proizvedeno iz biomase [9], kategorija izdelkov, ki je širša od izdelka, ki se pregleduje.
Claims regarding product scope
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 [10], in so del zakonodajnega paketa o energetski učinkovitosti, energiji iz obnovljivih virov in alternativnih gorivih.
The US Government claimed that diesel produced from biomass [9] is a category of products broader than the product under review.
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.
However, as set out in the Regulation imposing provisional countervailing duties in the original investigation [10], 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.
Zainteresirana stran ni nasprotovala ugotovitvi iz prvotne preiskave, zato velja tudi v tem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa.
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.
Zato je Komisija to trditev vlade ZDA zavrnila.
The finding in the original investigation was not challenged by any interested party and remains valid in this expiry review.
VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA ALI PONOVITVE SUBVENCIONIRANJA
Consequently, the Commission rejected this claim by the US Government.
Uvodne opombe
LIKELIHOOD OF A CONTINUATION OR RECURRENCE OF SUBSIDIES
V skladu s členom 18(1) osnovne uredbe je Komisija proučila, ali obstaja verjetnost, da bi iztek obstoječih ukrepov povzročil nadaljevanje ali ponovitev subvencioniranja.
Preliminary remarks
Pojem ponovitev pomeni, da ni treba, da se subvencija uporablja ob začetku postopka ali sprejetju sklepa o ohranitvi ukrepov.
In accordance with Article 18(1) 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 subsidisation.
Zato je Komisija preverila tudi verjetnost ponovitve subvencij, katerih veljavnost se je iztekla po OPP.
The notion of recurrence implies that a subsidy does not have to be in force at the time of initiation or when the decision to maintain the measures is taken.
Komisija je analizirala vse sheme subvencij, opredeljene v zahtevku za pregled, in pozvala organe ZDA, naj predložijo informacije o vseh drugih morebitnih shemah subvencij.
Consequently, the Commission also verified whether subsidies which have expired after the RIP are likely to recur.
Na podlagi informacij iz odgovora na vprašalnik Komisije, ki so ga predložili organi ZDA, je Komisija analizirala naslednje sheme, ki so bile veljavne v OPP:
The Commission analysed all subsidy schemes identified in the review request and asked the authorities of the USA to provide information on any other possible subsidy schemes.
Zvezne sheme
