A. UNDERTAKING AND OTHER EXISTING MEASURES
A. ZAVEZA IN DRUGI OBSTOJEČI UKREPI
By Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 [3], the European Commission (‘the Commission’) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the European Union (‘the Union’) of crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules (‘modules’) and key components (i.e. cells and wafers) originating in or consigned from the People's Republic of China (‘the PRC’).
Evropska komisija („Komisija“) je z Uredbo (EU) št. 513/2013 [3] določila začasne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz fotonapetostnih modulov iz kristalnega silicija („modulov“) in njihovih ključnih sestavnih delov (tj. celic in rezin) s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske („LRK“) ali ki so od tam poslani, v Evropsko unijo („Unija“).
A group of exporting producers gave a mandate to the China Chamber of Commerce for Import and Export of Machinery and Electronic Products (‘CCCME’) to submit a price undertaking on their behalf to the Commission, which they did.
Skupina proizvajalcev izvoznikov je kitajsko gospodarsko zbornico za uvoz in izvoz strojev in elektronskih izdelkov („CCCME“) pooblastila, naj v njihovem imenu Komisiji predloži cenovno zavezo, kar se je tudi zgodilo.
It is clear from the terms of that price undertaking that it constitutes a bundle of individual price undertakings for each exporting producer, which is, for reasons of practicality of administration, coordinated by the CCCME.
Iz pogojev navedene cenovne zaveze je razvidno, da ta predstavlja sveženj individualnih cenovnih zavez za vsakega proizvajalca izvoznika, pri čemer ta sveženj zaradi praktičnih razlogov usklajuje CCCME.
By Decision 2013/423/EU [4], the Commission accepted that price undertaking with regard to the provisional anti-dumping duty.
Komisija je s Sklepom 2013/423/EU [4] sprejela navedeno cenovno zavezo glede začasne protidampinške dajatve.
By Regulation (EU) No 748/2013 [5], the Commission amended Regulation (EU) No 513/2013 to introduce the technical changes necessary due to the acceptance of the undertaking with regard to the provisional anti-dumping duty.
Komisija je z Uredbo (EU) št. 748/2013 [5] spremenila Uredbo (EU) št. 513/2013, in sicer je uvedla tehnične spremembe, potrebne za sprejetje zaveze glede začasne protidampinške dajatve.
By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1238/2013 [6], the Council imposed a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of modules and cells originating in or consigned from the PRC (‘the products concerned’).
Svet je z Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) št. 1238/2013 [6] določil dokončno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz modulov in celic s poreklom iz LRK ali ki so od tam poslani („zadevni izdelki“), v Unijo.
By Implementing Regulation (EU) No 1239/2013 [7], the Council also imposed a definitive countervailing duty on imports into the Union of the product concerned.
Svet je z Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) št. 1239/2013 [7] prav tako določil dokončno izravnalno dajatev na uvoz zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
Following the notification of an amended version of the price undertaking by a group of exporting producers (‘the exporting producers’) together with the CCCME, the Commission confirmed by Implementing Decision 2013/707/EU [8] the acceptance of the price undertaking as amended (‘the undertaking’) for the period of application of definitive measures.
Po obvestilu skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov („proizvajalci izvozniki“) in CCCME o spremenjeni različici zaveze je Komisija z Izvedbenim sklepom 2013/707/EU [8] potrdila sprejetje cenovne zaveze, kakor je bila spremenjena („zaveza“), za obdobje uporabe dokončnih ukrepov.
The Annex to this Decision lists the exporting producers for whom the undertaking was accepted, including:
Priloga k temu sklepu navaja proizvajalce izvoznike, za katere je bila zaveza sprejeta, in vključuje:
CSI Solar Power (China) Inc., Canadian Solar Manufacturing (Changshu) Inc., Canadian Solar Manufacturing (Luoyang) Inc., and CSI Cells Co.

Renesola Zhejiang Ltd in Renesola Jiangsu Ltd skupaj z njihovimi povezanimi družbami v Evropski uniji, ki so združeno zajete z dodatno oznako TARIC: B921 („ReneSola“).
By Implementing Decision 2014/657/EU [9] the Commission accepted a proposal by the group of the exporting producers together with the CCCME for clarifications concerning the implementation of the undertaking for the product concerned covered by the undertaking, that is modules and cells originating in or consigned from the PRC, currently falling within CN codes ex85414090 (TARIC codes 8541409021, 8541409029, 8541409031 and 8541409039) produced by the exporting producers (‘product covered’).
Komisija je z Izvedbenim sklepom 2014/657/EU [9] sprejela predlog skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov in CCCME za pojasnila v zvezi z izvajanjem zaveze za zadevni izdelek, ki ga zaveza zajema, in sicer module in celice s poreklom iz LRK ali ki so od tam poslani, trenutno uvrščene pod oznake KN ex85414090 (oznake TARIC 8541409021, 8541409029, 8541409031 in 8541409039), ki jih proizvajajo proizvajalci izvozniki („zajeti izdelek“).
The antidumping and countervailing duties referred to in recital 4 above, together with the undertaking, are jointly referred to as ‘measures’.
Protidampinške in izravnalne dajatve iz uvodne izjave 4 zgoraj so skupaj z zavezo imenovane „ukrepi“.
B. TERMS OF THE UNDERTAKING THAT HAVE BEEN BREACHED
B. POGOJI ZAVEZE, KI SO BILI KRŠENI
The exporting producers agreed, inter alia, not to sell the product covered to the first independent customer in the Union below a certain minimum import price (‘the MIP’) within the associated annual level of imports to the Union laid down in the undertaking.
Proizvajalci izvozniki so se med drugim strinjali, da zajetega izdelka ne bodo prodajali prvi neodvisni stranki v Uniji pod določeno minimalno uvozno ceno („MIP“) v okviru povezane letne ravni uvoza v Unijo, določene v zavezi.
The undertaking also clarifies, in a non-exhaustive list, what constitutes a breach of the undertaking.
V zavezi je prav tako v okviru neizčrpnega seznama pojasnjeno, kaj šteje za kršitev zaveze.
That list includes, in particular, making compensatory arrangements with their customers, and making misleading declarations regarding the origin of the product concerned or the identity of the exporter.
Navedeni seznam zlasti vključuje sklepanje kompenzacijskih dogovorov s strankami in zavajajoče deklaracije glede porekla zadevnega izdelka ali identitete izvoznika.
The exporting producers also undertook not to sell any products other than the product covered produced or traded by them in excess of a given small percentage limit of the total sales value of the product covered to the same customers to which they sell the product covered (‘the parallel sales limit’).
Proizvajalci izvozniki so se prav tako zavezali, da razen zajetega izdelka istim strankam, katerim prodajajo zajeti izdelek („omejitev vzporedne prodaje“), ne bodo prodajali nobenih drugih izdelkov, ki jih proizvajajo ali z njimi trgujejo, v obsegu, ki bi presegel določen omejen majhni delež celotne vrednosti prodaje zajetega izdelka.
The undertaking also obliges the exporting producers to provide the Commission on a quarterly basis with detailed information on all their export sales to and re-sales in the Union (‘the quarterly reports’).
Z zavezo se proizvajalci izvozniki tudi obvezujejo, da bodo Komisiji za vsako četrtletje predložili podrobne informacije o celotnem izvozu in nadaljnji prodaji v Unijo („četrtletna poročila“).
This implies that the data submitted in these quarterly reports must be complete and correct and the reported transactions fully comply with the terms of the undertaking.
To pomeni, da morajo biti podatki v teh četrtletnih poročilih popolni in pravilni ter da so sporočene transakcije popolnoma v skladu s pogoji zaveze.
For the purpose of ensuring compliance with the undertaking, the exporting producers also undertook to allow verification visits at their premises in order to verify the accuracy and completeness of data submitted to the Commission in the quarterly reports and to provide all information considered necessary by the Commission.
Za zagotovitev skladnosti z zavezo so se proizvajalci izvozniki prav tako obvezali, da bodo v svojih prostorih dovolili preveritvene obiske, da se preveri točnost in popolnost podatkov iz četrtletnih poročil, ki so bili predloženi Komisiji, ter da bodo predložili vse podatke, ki jih Komisija šteje za potrebne.
C. TERMS OF THE UNDERTAKING THAT ALLOW FOR WITHDRAWAL BY THE COMMISSION IN THE ABSENCE OF A BREACH
C. POGOJI ZAVEZE, KI OMOGOČAJO UMIK S STRANI KOMISIJE, ČE KRŠITVE NI
The undertaking also stipulates that the Commission may withdraw the acceptance of the undertaking at any time during its period of application if monitoring and enforcement prove to be impracticable.
V zavezi je določeno tudi, da lahko Komisija umakne sprejetje zaveze v kateri koli fazi njenega obdobja uporabe, če se spremljanje in izvrševanje izkažeta za neizvedljiva.
The undertaking further stipulates that the acceptance of the undertaking by the Commission is based on trust and any action which would harm the relationship of trust established with the Commission shall justify the withdrawal of the undertaking.
V zavezi je nadalje določeno, da Komisija sprejme zavezo na podlagi zaupanja, vsako dejanje, ki bi to zaupanje Komisije zlorabilo, pa bo imelo za posledico umik zaveze.
D. MONITORING OF THE EXPORTING PRODUCERS
D. SPREMLJANJE PROIZVAJALCEV IZVOZNIKOV
While monitoring compliance with the undertaking, the Commission verified information submitted by the exporting producers that was relevant to the undertaking.
Komisija je med spremljanjem skladnosti z zavezo preverila informacije, ki so jih predložili proizvajalci izvozniki in so bile relevantne za zavezo.
E. GROUNDS TO WITHDRAW THE ACCEPTANCE OF THE UNDERTAKINGS
E. RAZLOGI ZA UMIK SPREJETJA ZAVEZ
Canadian Solar
Družba Canadian Solar je nekaterim strankam zagotovila določene ugodnosti, ki niso bile navedene v četrtletnih poročilih.
Canadian Solar provided certain benefits to several customers, which were not listed in their quarterly reports.
Komisija je analizirala ugodnosti, ki niso bile sporočene, in sklenila, da je družba Canadian Solar kršila svoje obveznosti o poročanju na podlagi zaveze.
The Commission analysed these non-reported benefits and concluded that Canadian Solar has breached their reporting obligation under the undertaking.
Nadaljnja analiza teh ugodnosti, ki niso bile sporočene, je privedla do sklepa, da je družba Canadian Solar prav tako kršila obveznost spoštovanja MIP, saj so se prodajne cene v transakcijah s strankami spustile pod MIP, ko so bile ugodnosti odštete.
Further analysis of those non-reported benefits has led to the conclusion that Canadian Solar also breached their obligation to respect the MIP, as deducting these benefits from the sales price in the transactions with the customers concerned decreased those prices below the MIP.
Družba Canadian Solar je prav tako istim strankam v istem koledarskem letu vzporedno prodajala module, ki so bili zajeti z zavezo in tiste, ki z zavezo niso bili zajeti.
Canadian Solar conducted also parallel sales of modules covered and not covered by the undertaking to the same customers in the same calendar year.
To je bilo izvedeno z vzporedno prodajo v velikem obsegu isti stranki, in sicer na eni strani modulov, ki so bili uvoženi v Unijo, ne da bi bili predmet ukrepov in nato skladiščeni (prek različnih kanalov), in na drugi strani zajetega izdelka.
This was done though parallel sales to the same customer, on a large scale, of, on the one hand, modules imported into the Union without having been subject to the measures and then stockpiled (through multiple channels) and, on the other hand, the product covered.
Ta prodaja je znatno presegla omejitev vzporedne prodaje, ki je dovoljena v skladu z zavezo.
Those sales exceeded substantially the parallel sales limit authorised by the undertaking.
S tem je družba Canadian Solar kršila navedeno omejitev.
Thereby, Canadian Solar has breached that limit.
Poleg tega je Komisija analizirala posledice tega vzorca trgovanja in ugotovila, da obstaja veliko tveganje navzkrižne kompenzacije, če se izdelki, ki jih zaveza zajema, in tisti, ki jih zaveza ne zajema, prodajajo istim strankam, zlasti če prodaja poteka v takih znatnih količinah.
In addition, the Commission analysed the implications of that pattern of trade and concluded that there is a high risk of cross-compensation where the products covered and not covered by the undertaking are sold to the same customers, in particular where sales take place in such significant quantities.
Družba Canadian Solar je v okviru svojega poslovnega modela uporabila tudi enega nepovezanega proizvajalca originalne opreme.
Canadian Solar also used in their business model one unrelated original equipment manufacturer (‘OEM’).
Ta proizvajalec originalne opreme je za družbo Canadian Solar v tretji državi sestavljal module, pri tem pa domnevno uporabljal celice iz druge tretje države.
That OEM assembled modules for Canadian Solar in a third country, allegedly using cells form another third country.
Za uvoz modulov tega proizvajalca originalne opreme v Unijo, ki ga je opravila družba Canadian Solar, zaveza ne velja, ker zaveza zajema le neposredno prodajo iz LRK v Unijo.
Imports of modules by Canadian Solar from that OEM into the Union are not subject to the undertaking, because the undertaking only covers direct sales from the PRC into the Union.
Ta uvoz in prodaja ter proizvajalec originalne opreme zato niso predmet spremljanja s strani Komisije.
Those imports and sales, as well as the OEM, hence fall outside the scope of the monitoring by the Commission.
Komisija je analizirala posledice tega vzorca trgovanja na izvedljivost zaveze.
The Commission concluded that, although limited in scope, that OEM renders the monitoring of Canadian Solar's undertaking impracticable.
Družba ET Solar je zajeti izdelek prodajala v sklopu prodaje celotnih sončnih parkov.
ET Solar
Uvoz zajetega izdelka v Unijo je bil naveden v četrtletnih poročilih družbe ET Solar, vendar pa v teh poročilih ni bila navedena prodaja modulov v sončnih parkih ali kot del sončnih parkov.
ET Solar sold the product covered by the undertaking as a part of sales of complete solar parks.
Vendar pa bi morala družba ET Solar v skladu z zavezo o tej prodaji poročati.
The imports of the product covered into the Union were listed in the ET Solar's quarterly reports, but none of the sales of modules into the solar parks or as part of the solar parks was.
V sklopu prodaje sončnih parkov je družba ET Solar prodajala paket blaga in storitev: module, nameščene v parku, preostalo opremo za park in storitve za gradnjo parkov ter njihovo povezavo na omrežje.
ET Solar was, however, obliged under the undertaking to report those sales.
Poleg tega prodaja celotnih sončnih parkov predstavlja vzporedno prodajo zajetega izdelka ter izdelkov in storitev, ki niso zajeti z zavezo, istim strankam.
When selling a solar park, ET Solar was selling a bundle of goods and services: the modules installed in the park, the remaining equipment necessary for the park, and the service of building the park and connecting it to the grid.
Ta prodaja je bistveno presegla omejitev vzporedne prodaje, ki je dovoljena v skladu z zavezo.
Furthermore, the sale of complete solar parks constitutes a parallel sale of the product covered and the products and services not covered by the undertaking to the same customers.
S tem je družba ET Solar kršila navedeno omejitev.
These sales exceeded substantially the parallel sales limit authorised by the undertaking.
Poleg tega je Komisija analizirala posledice tega vzorca trgovanja in ugotovila, da obstaja veliko tveganje navzkrižne kompenzacije, če se izdelki, ki jih zaveza zajema, in tisti izdelki in storitve, ki jih zaveza ne zajema, prodajajo istim strankam, zlasti če prodaja poteka v takih znatnih količinah.
Thereby, ET Solar has breached that limit.
Poleg tega družba ET Solar ne more dokazati, da se MIP spoštuje pri prodaji celotnih sončnih parkov, saj prodajna cena za module sama po sebi ni določena, ker stranka plača samo skupno ceno za namestitev, nadaljnja zanesljiva razčlenitev cene za module, drugo opremo in storitve pa ni bila predložena.
In addition, the Commission analysed the implications of that pattern of trade and concluded that there is a high risk of cross-compensation where the product covered, and products and services not covered by the undertaking are sold to the same customers, in particular where sales take place in such significant quantities.
Nazadnje je Komisija analizirala posledice tega vzorca trgovanja in poleg tega ugotovila, da je zaradi njega spremljanje zaveze v zvezi z družbo ET Solar praktično neizvedljivo.
Finally, the Commission analysed the implications of that pattern of trade and also concluded that this renders the monitoring of ET Solar's undertaking impracticable.
Ti proizvajalci originalne opreme uporabljajo celice različnega izvora, vključno s celicami s poreklom iz LRK ali ki so od tam poslane.
ReneSola
Te celice se v več primerih uvažajo v tretje države in Unijo prek povezanih družb s sedežem v različnih tretjih državah.
ReneSola's business model, besides using their own production capacities in the PRC, relies on an extensive network of unrelated OEMs in third countries and in the Union to assemble modules for them.
Za uvoz modulov teh proizvajalcev originalne opreme v tretjih državah in prodajo modulov, ki jih sestavi proizvajalec originalne opreme v Uniji, zaveza ne velja, saj zaveza dovoljuje le neposredno prodajo iz LRK v Unijo.
Those OEMs use cells of various origins, including cells originating in or consigned from the PRC.
Ta uvoz in prodaja ter proizvajalci originalne opreme zato niso predmet spremljanja s strani Komisije.
Those cells are imported into the third countries and the Union, in a number of cases, through related companies located in different third countries.
Komisija je analizirala posledice tega vzorca trgovanja in ugotovila, da je zaradi njega spremljanje zaveze v zvezi z družbo ReneSola praktično neizvedljivo.
The imports of modules from those OEMs in third countries and the sales of modules assembled by the OEM in the Union are not subject to the undertaking, because the undertaking only allows direct sales from the PRC into the Union.
Poleg tega je družba ReneSola v četrtletnih poročilih navedla zavajajoče informacije o transakcijah s povezanim uvoznikom v Uniji.
Those imports and sales, as well as the OEMs, hence fall outside the scope of the monitoring by the Commission.
Evidence povezanega uvoznika o transakcijah, ki so bile pregledane na kraju samem, ne ustrezajo poročilom o izvozu, ki jih je Komisiji v skladu z zavezo predložila družba ReneSola.
The Commission analysed the implications of this pattern of trade and concluded that it renders the monitoring of ReneSola's undertaking impracticable.
Z nadaljnjim preverjanjem je bilo ugotovljeno, da družba ReneSola ni poročala o odpovedi ali spremembi velikega števila pošiljk temu povezanemu uvozniku.
Furthermore, ReneSola provided in its quarterly reports misleading information about transactions to a related importer in the Union.
Komisija je analizirala navedene nedoslednosti med poročili družbe ReneSola, predloženimi na podlagi zaveze, in dejanskimi prodajnimi transakcijami ter ugotovila, da je družba ReneSola kršila svoje obveznosti o poročanju na podlagi zaveze.
The related importer's transactions records inspected on the spot do not match the export sales reported to the Commission by ReneSola under the undertaking.
Sklepi
Further verification established that ReneSola has not reported the cancellations or modifications of a large number of shipments to that related importer.
Ugotovitve o kršitvi zaveze in njeni neizvedljivosti za družbe Canadian Solar, ET Solar in ReneSola zahtevajo umik sprejetja zaveze za te tri proizvajalce izvoznike v skladu s členoma 8(7) in 8(9) osnovne protidampinške uredbe ter členoma 13(7) in 13(9) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe ter v skladu s pogoji zaveze.
The Commission analysed these inconsistencies between ReneSola's undertaking reports and actual sales transactions and concluded that ReneSola has breached their reporting obligation under the undertaking.
Poleg tega je Komisija analizirala posledice dejanj s strani družb Canadian Solar, ET Solar in ReneSola, navedene v uvodnih izjavah 15 do 30 zgoraj, na zaupanje Komisije, vzpostavljeno ob sprejetju zaveze.
Conclusions
Komisija je ugotovila, da je kombinacija teh dejanj ogrozila zaupanje v odnosu do teh treh proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
The findings of breaches of the undertaking and its impracticability established for Canadian Solar, ET Solar, and ReneSola require the withdrawal of the acceptances of the undertaking for those three exporting producers pursuant to Article 8(7) and (9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation, Article 13(7) and (9) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation, and pursuant to the terms of the undertaking.
Zato to kopičenje kršitev prav tako utemeljuje umik sprejetja zaveze za te tri proizvajalce izvoznike v skladu s pogoji zaveze.
In addition, the Commission analysed the implications of actions by Canadian Solar, ET Solar, and ReneSola listed in recitals 15 to 30 above on their relationships of trust established with the Commission at the acceptance of the undertaking.
F. OCENA IZVEDLJIVOSTI CELOTNE ZAVEZE
The Commission concluded that the combination of these actions harmed the relationship of trust with these three exporting producers.
Zaveza določa, da kršitev s strani posameznega proizvajalca izvoznika ne privede samodejno do umika sprejetja zaveze za vse proizvajalce izvoznike.
Therefore, this accumulation of breaches also justifies the withdrawal of acceptances of the undertaking for those three exporting producers pursuant to the terms of the undertaking.
V takem primeru Komisija oceni vpliv te kršitve na izvedljivost zaveze z učinkom za vse proizvajalce izvoznike in CCCME.
F. ASSESSMENT OF PRACTICABILITY OF THE OVERALL UNDERTAKING
Komisija je ustrezno ocenila vpliv kršitev s strani družb Canadian Solar, ET Solar in ReneSola na izvedljivost zaveze z učinkom za vse proizvajalce izvoznike in CCCME.
