Following the exclusion of bare pipes, the Commission removed the value and volume of bare pipes imported from India from the average price calculation for the years the bare pipes were imported namely in 2013 and the IP.
Po razkritju je družba Tata trdila, da nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen, ki je temeljilo na proizvodnih stroških industrije Unije, ni bilo ustrezen kazalnik za preučitev škode, saj so bili stroški proizvodnje zvišani zaradi visokih stalnih stroškov in presežne zmogljivosti.
The average price of imports into the Union from India developed as follows:
Kot je navedeno v nadaljevanju, gre pri nelojalnem nižanju prodajnih cen za primerjavo cen.
Import prices (EUR/tonne)
V vsakem primeru je nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen le eden od več kazalnikov, ki se preučijo za ugotovitev, ali je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo.
India
Primerjava cen je bila izvedena za vsako vrsto izdelka posebej za transakcije na isti ravni trgovanja, in sicer po morebitnih potrebnih prilagoditvah ter odbitku rabatov in popustov.
The Indian prices remained stable during the period considered.
Rezultat primerjave je bil izražen kot delež prihodkov od prodaje proizvajalcev Unije v obdobju preiskave.
Price undercutting
Za sodelujoča proizvajalca izvoznika je pokazal 30,9- oziroma 31,7-odstotno tehtano povprečno stopnjo nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen.
The Commission determined the price undercutting during the investigation period on the basis of the data submitted by the exporting producers and the Union industry by comparing:
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
the weighted average sales prices per product type of the Union producers charged to unrelated customers on the Union market, adjusted to an ex-works level; and
Splošne opombe
the corresponding weighted average prices per product type of the imports from the cooperating Indian producers to the first independent customer on the Union market, established on a Cost, Insurance, Freight (CIF) basis, with appropriate adjustments for post-importation costs.
V skladu s členom 8(4) osnovne uredbe je preučitev vpliva subvencioniranega uvoza na industrijo Unije vključevala oceno vseh gospodarskih kazalnikov, ki so vplivali na položaj industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
Both exporting producers claimed that there were significant differences between the products sold by the complainant and those sold by it which would affect fair price comparability.
Komisija je za določitev škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
In particular, they claimed that they do not manufacture pipes equipped with a double chamber restrained joint that is sold by SG PAM under the brand name Universal joint.
Makroekonomske kazalnike je ocenila na podlagi podatkov iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije in ocen iz pritožbe za nesodelujočega proizvajalca.
They also do not manufacture an automatic joint for pipes with low thickness, matching with plastic pipes used in SG PAM's Blutop product range.
Mikroekonomske kazalnike pa je ocenila na podlagi podatkov iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije.
In addition, they claimed that they do not manufacture pipes internally lined with thermoplastic which SG PAM markets under the brand name Ductan and uses in their Blutop product range.
Za oba sklopa podatkov je bilo ugotovljeno, da sta reprezentativna za gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
Ductile pipes users in the Union confirmed these claims and also that neither of the Indian cooperating exporting producers could supply those identified products.
Makroekonomski kazalniki so proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje, tržni delež, rast, zaposlenost, produktivnost, višina subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, in okrevanje od preteklega subvencioniranja.
Following disclosure, the complainant claimed that the exclusion of Universal joint was unfounded as each exporting producer has a technical solution that can replace this kind of joint.
2013 Obdobje preiskave Proizvodnja
The Commission recalled that many users had confirmed that the exporting producers are not able to supply a double chamber restrained joint.
580–600
In any case, in this investigation, a type of joint was not identified as an essential element to distinguish between different product types for the purpose of making the price comparison.
460–480
Therefore a fair price comparison on a type by type basis could not be made.
530–550
In view of the fact that the volume of the product fitted with this joint is low, the difficulties in making a fair price comparison and the fact that, a vast majority of product types was subject to undercutting and injury margin calculation the Commission maintained that it was appropriate to exclude the double restrained joints from the undercutting calculations.
590–610
Jindal also claimed that other physical differences in respect of, amongst others, external coating and internal lining, affected price comparability and should therefore also be adjusted/excluded.
Obseg proizvodnje – indeks
These claims were however rejected.
Proizvodna zmogljivost
Both the Union industry and the Indian exporting producers had reported sales in the Union of product types with comparable physical characteristics and a fair comparison had therefore been carried out in respect of those other alleged differences.
1000–1100
Following disclosure, Jindal claimed that the adjustments to the export price carried out by the Commission, namely the SG&A adjustment and the profit adjustment, are contrary to WTO law.
Proizvodna zmogljivost – indeks
The same exporting producer claimed that such adjusted export prices (which are sometimes 0 or even negative) cannot form the basis to assess whether the subsidised imports are causing an injury to the Union industry.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
The Commission disagreed.
52–57 %
In line with the Commission's usual practice the Union producers' prices have been also adjusted to an ex-works level by deducting, inter alia, transport related expenses.
42–47 %
Hence comparing the importer's resale price with a Union ex-works price would not be a fair comparison.
45–50 %
In addition, the only instance of the exporting producer's price lesser than 0 was eliminated from the undercutting calculation after disclosure, with insignificant impact on the margins.
53–58 %
After disclosure Jindal pointed out that the Commission had failed to provide information concerning the matching of the Union products and the exporting producers' products for each individual product type (PCN) and the producer was therefore not able to ascertain whether the Commission had analysed the significance of price undercutting in relation to the proportion of product types for which no undercutting was found.
Celotna proizvodnja industrije Unije je bila v obdobju preiskave kljub veliko manjši prodaji v Uniji nekoliko večja kot leta 2011.
The product matching in the undercutting calculations was 99 % and 95 % for the two exporting producers respectively and undercutting was found for 98 % and 91 % of the different product types sold on the Union market.
Proizvodnja se je leta 2013 in v obdobju preiskave povečala zaradi povečanja izvoza.
Considering the very high proportion of product types that were undercut, the Commission rejected the claim that a proper analysis of the impact of the undercutting was not carried out.
Proizvodna zmogljivost je v obravnavanem obdobju ostala nespremenjena.
Following the disclosure Tata claimed that the price undercutting based on Union industry's cost of production was not a suitable indication for examining injury as the cost of production was inflated due to high fixed costs and overcapacity.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti se je nekoliko povečala v skladu s povečanjem proizvodnje v obravnavanem obdobju.
As noted below, price undercutting is a price to price comparison.
Kljub temu je ostala na razmeroma nizki ravni, in sicer [53–58 %].
In any event, price undercutting is only one of several indicators that are examined to determine if the Union industry suffered material injury.
Proizvodnja cevi iz nodularnega litega železa je panoga z razmeroma visokimi stalnimi stroški.
The price comparison was made on a type-by-type basis for transactions at the same level of trade, duly adjusted where necessary, after deduction of rebates and discounts.
Slaba izkoriščenost zmogljivosti zmanjša sposobnost kritja stalnih stroškov, kar lahko vpliva na dobičkonosnost industrije Unije.
The result of the comparison was expressed as a percentage of the Union producers' turnover during the investigation period.
Obseg prodaje in tržni delež
In accordance with Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation, the examination of the impact of the subsidised imports on the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic indicators having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered.
340–380
For the injury determination, the Commission distinguished between macroeconomic and microeconomic injury indicators.
380–420
The Commission evaluated the macroeconomic indicators on the basis of data contained in the questionnaire replies from the cooperating Union producers and the estimates contained in the complaint for the non-cooperating producer.
Obseg prodaje – indeks
The Commission evaluated the microeconomic indicators on the basis of data contained in the questionnaire replies from the cooperating Union producers.
75–80 %
Both sets of data were found to be representative of the economic situation of the Union industry.
76–81 %
The macroeconomic indicators are: production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of the amount of the countervailable subsidies, and recovery from past subsidisation.
73–78 %
The microeconomic indicators are: average unit prices, unit cost, labour costs, inventories, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments, and ability to raise capital.

Production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Prodaja industrije Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 11 % na 380–420 kt v obdobju preiskave.
The total Union production, production capacity and capacity utilisation developed over the period considered as follows:
Obseg prodaje industrije Unije se je zmanjšal veliko bolj kot potrošnja in posledično se je tudi njen tržni delež v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 4 %.
Union production, production capacity and capacity utilisation
Družba ECL je trdila, da pri zmanjšanju obsega prodaje na podlagi metričnih ton ni upoštevano, da je pritožnik v obravnavanem obdobju uvedel ter prodajal večinoma lažje cevi in da je zato zmanjšanje pretirano.
Source: Questionnaire replies and information contained in the complaint
Ta trditev ni bila podprta z nobenim dokazom, zato je bila zavrnjena.
Production (in 1000(k) tonnes)
Kljub temu je Komisija iz razlogov, navedenih v uvodni izjavi 294, iz izračunov nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen in stopnje škode izključila asortiment lažjih cevi – Blutop.

Potrošnja se je leta 2012 močno zmanjšala, in sicer za več kot 13 %, leta 2013 je ostala na nizki ravni, v obdobju preiskave pa se je začela povečevati.
590 - 610
Prodaja industrije Unije, uvoz iz tretjih držav in uvoz iz Indije so bili na začetku obravnavanega obdobja v skladu s potrošnjo.
Production Volume Index
Ob koncu obravnavanega obdobja, ko se je potrošnja Unije začela povečevati, industrija Unije tega okrevanja ni mogla v celoti izkoristiti, ker sta se njen obseg prodaje in tržni delež zmanjšala, medtem ko je indijski uvoz pridobil tržne deleže.

The overall production of the Union industry was slightly higher in the investigation period than it was in 2011, in spite of much lower Union sales in the investigation period.
Produktivnost (t/zaposlenega)
An increase in production in 2013 and the IP is driven by increased export sales.
220–240
The capacity remained stable throughout the period considered.
180–200
The capacity utilisation went marginally up in line with the increase in production in the period considered.
210–230
Nonetheless, the capacity utilisation remained relatively low at [53-58 %].
230–250
Ductile pipes production is an industry characterised by a relatively high fixed cost.
Produktivnost – indeks
Low capacity utilisation deteriorates the absorption of fixed costs, which may affect the profitability of the Union industry.

The Union industry sales decreased by 11 % during the period considered to 380 kt–420 kt in the investigation period.

The Union industry lost significantly larger volume of sales than the volume of decrease in consumption and as a consequence its market share decreased by 4 % during the period considered.
Družba Jindal je trdila, da manjša dobičkonosnost industrije Unije ni skladna z dejstvom, da se je razpon med prodajno ceno industrije Unije na enoto in stroški proizvodnje v obdobju preiskave povečal.
ECL claimed that the decrease in sales volumes based on metric tonnes does not take into account that the complainant introduced and sold largely lighter tubes and pipes during the period considered and that therefore the decrease is exaggerated.
Komisija se s tem argumentom ni strinjala.
This claim was not substantiated by any supporting evidence and was therefore rejected.
Stroški proizvodnje, navedeni v zgornji preglednici, niso bili uporabljeni pri izračunu dobičkonosnosti.
Nevertheless, the Commission excluded a range of lighter pipes — Blutop — from the undercutting and injury margin calculations, for the reasons set out in recital 294.
Stroški proizvodnje so bili določeni na podlagi stroškov proizvodnje zadevnega izdelka ter prodajnih, splošnih in administrativnih (PSA) stroškov za štiri sodelujoče proizvodne družbe v Uniji.
The consumption fell drastically in 2012 by more than 13 %, remained depressed in 2013 and started recovering in the investigation period.
Stroški dela
At the beginning of the period considered the sales of the Union Industry, the imports from third countries as well as Indian imports fell in line with the consumption.
Povprečni stroški dela sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibali na naslednji način:
By the end of the period considered, whilst the Union consumption started going up, the Union industry could not benefit fully from this recovery since both its Union sales volume and market share had decreased while Indian imports had gained market shares.

To povišanje je bilo manjše od splošnega povišanja plač v Uniji glede na poročanje Eurostata.
2400 - 2500
Družba Jindal je poudarila, da Komisija Eurostatu ni predložila podatkov, na katerih je temeljila njena izjava, da je bilo povišanje stroškov dela za industrijo Unije manjše kot za celotni industrijski sektor v Uniji.
2300 - 2400
Komisija je pojasnila, da je bila letna rast stroškov dela v celotnem industrijskem sektorju v Evropski uniji, kot je o njej poročal Eurostat [75], v obdobju 2011–2014 6,9-odstotna, v obdobju 2011–2013 pa skoraj 5-odstotna.

Magnitude of the amount of the countervailable subsidies and recovery from past subsidisation or dumping
16–18 %
All subsidy margins were above the de minimis level.
Raven končnih zalog se je v obravnavanem obdobju znižala.
The impact of the magnitude of the amount of countervailable subsidies on the Union industry was substantial, given the volume and prices of imports from the country concerned.
Znižanje ravni zalog je predvsem posledica strožjih zahtev glede obratnih sredstev, ki jih je uvedlo vodstvo industrije Unije.
This is the first anti-subsidy investigation regarding the product concerned.
Dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala
Therefore, no data were available to assess the effects of possible past subsidisation or dumping.
Dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe in donosnost naložb sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibali na naslednji način:

Komisija je dobičkonosnost sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije določila tako, da je neto dobiček pred obdavčitvijo pri prodaji podobnega izdelka nepovezanim strankam v Uniji izrazila kot delež prihodkov od navedene prodaje.
The average unit selling price increased in 2012 and 2013, dropped by 3 % during the IP and returned to a level similar to that of the beginning of the period considered.
Preiskava je pokazala le malo dokazov o intenzivni dejavnosti na področju raziskav in razvoja, saj so odhodki za raziskave in razvoj v primeru proizvajalca Unije, ki je imel najvišje odhodke za raziskave in razvoj, leta 2011 predstavljali manj kot 1,8 % prihodkov od prodaje, v obdobju preiskave pa 1,6 %.
The cost of production went up in 2012 and went down in 2013 and in the IP, mainly due to the reduction in the price of the main raw material — iron ore and scrap metal.
Na podlagi dobičkonosnosti, dosežene v podobnih industrijah, kot je industrija brezšivnih cevi iz nerjavnega jekla, se šteje, da je 5-odstotna stopnja dobičkonosnosti razumna tudi za tovrstno industrijo.
Jindal claimed that a decreasing profitability of the Union industry is inconsistent with the fact that the spread between the Union industry's selling price per unit and the cost of production had increased in the IP.
Neto denarni tok je sposobnost sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije, da sami financirajo svoje dejavnosti.
The Commission disagreed with this argument.
Denarni tok je bil v obdobju preiskave na podobni ravni kot leta 2011.
The cost of production indicated in the table above was not used in the calculation of the profitability.
Povečanje naložb v obdobju preiskave je mogoče pojasniti predvsem z večjo naložbo sodelujočega proizvajalca Unije za zamenjavo ključnega dela opreme, ki se je pokvaril.
The cost of production was established on the basis of the cost of manufacturing of the product concerned and the selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses for the four cooperating production companies in the Union.
Donosnost naložb je dobiček v deležu neto knjigovodske vrednosti naložb.
The average labour costs of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti je ostala majhna v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, čeprav se je v primerjavi z začetkom obravnavanega obdobja rahlo povečala, predvsem zaradi znatnega povečanja izvoza industrije Unije.
Average labour costs per employee (kEUR/employee/year)
Čeprav si je industrija Unije nekoliko opomogla od negativnih rezultatov v letih 2012 in 2013, se je njena dobičkonosnost v obravnavanem obdobju na splošno zmanjšala ter je ob koncu obdobja preiskave znašala samo 1,5–2,0 %, kar je precej pod ciljnim dobičkom, ki je bil določen na 5 % (glej uvodno izjavo 327).
Labour Cost
Dejstvo, da so nekateri drugi kazalniki škode, kot so proizvodnja, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, produktivnost, denarni tok, naložbe ali donosnost naložb, ostali razmeroma nespremenjeni ali so se celo izboljšali, ne more spremeniti sklepa, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 334.
56 - 58
Proizvajalca izvoznika in družba Tata so trdili, da dejstvo, da več kazalnikov kaže pozitiven/stabilen trend, pomeni, da industrija Unije ni v slabem položaju.
During the period considered, the average labour cost per employee went up by 4 %.
Prvič, člen 8(4) osnovne uredbe navaja, da preučitev industrije Unije vključuje oceno vseh ustreznih gospodarskih dejavnikov in kazalcev, ki vplivajo na položaj Unije, in da „eden ali več navedenih dejavnikov [nima nujno] odločilnega pomena“.
This increase was below the overall increase in wages and salaries in the Union as reported by Eurostat.
Drugič, za ugotovitev obstoja znatne škode ni nujno, da vsi zadevni gospodarski dejavniki in kazalci kažejo negativen trend.
Jindal pointed out that Commission did not provide the Eurostat data on which it relied to support the statement that the labour costs for the Union industry increased less than for the whole industrial sector in the Union.
Poleg tega obstoj stabilnih ali celo pozitivnih trendov pri nekaterih kazalnikih škode ne izključuje obstoja znatne škode.
The Commission clarified that the annual growth in labour costs in the whole industrial sector in the European Union as reported by the Eurostat [75] was 6,9 % between 2011 and 2014 and almost 5 % between 2011 and 2013.
Taka ugotovitev mora temeljiti na splošni oceni vseh kazalnikov, ki so bili v celoti potrjeni z evropsko sodno prakso [76].
Inventories
Zaradi nizke dobičkonosnosti ter nenehnega zmanjševanja prodaje in tržnega deleža v Uniji se je industrija Unije znašla v težkem gospodarskem položaju.
Stock levels of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Na podlagi splošne analize vseh ustreznih kazalnikov škode ter glede na težak gospodarski in finančni položaj industrije Unije se sklene, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 8(4) osnovne uredbe.
