The Commission also used the confidential information reported by Member States in accordance with Article 14(6) of the basic Regulation for cross-checking information provided by parties and to analyse the evolution of the imports originating from Chinese exporting producers subject to an individual dumping margin.
Damping uvoza v OPP
In the original investigation, the Commission used the Union industry data to establish normal value due to the absence of cooperation from any producer located in an analogue country.
Normalna vrednost
For the current investigation, a producer located in the United States of America (‘USA’) agreed to cooperate and provide all the necessary information to establish the normal value in the current investigation, as explained in recitals 31 to 35 below.
Izbira primerljive države
Dumping of imports during the RIP
V obvestilu o začetku je bila kot ustrezna primerljiva država za določitev normalne vrednosti za LRK predlagana Brazilija.
Normal Value
Komisija je pozvala vse zainteresirane strani, naj predložijo pripombe o tem predlogu, vendar Komisija ni prejela nobenih pripomb.
Selection of the analogue country
Komisija je zato poslala vprašalnike znanim brazilskim proizvajalcem.
In the notice of initiation, Brazil was proposed as an appropriate analogue country for establishing normal value for the PRC.
Vendar proizvajalci iz Brazilije niso bili pripravljeni sodelovati.
The Commission invited all interested parties to comment on this proposal but no comments were received.
Komisija je raziskala tudi možnosti za sodelovanje proizvajalcev iz držav s tržnim gospodarstvom, kot so Argentina, Kanada, Čile, Indija, Indonezija, Izrael, Malezija, Nova Zelandija, Tajvan in Tajska.
The Commission thus sent questionnaires to known Brazilian producers.
Vendar proizvajalci iz navedenih držav niso bili pripravljeni sodelovati.
However, no cooperation was received from producers in Brazil.
Komisija je preučila druge razpoložljive vire informacij, da bi našla morebitno primerljivo državo, tj. Eurostat in javne zbirke podatkov, ki jih je predložila Komisija Združenih držav za mednarodno trgovino.
In addition, cooperation of producers located in market economy countries such as Argentina, Canada, Chile, India, Indonesia, Israel, Malaysia, New Zealand, Taiwan and Thailand was also explored.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da sta Unija in Združene države Amerike glavna svetovna trga za sveče in da se je proizvodnja ZDA izvažala tudi na trg Unije.
However, no cooperation was received from producers located in the mentioned countries.
Na podlagi spletne strani združenja US National Candle Association (v nadaljnjem besedilu: NCA) je bilo ugotovljeno, da je v ZDA približno 400 proizvajalcev sveč, da je obseg celotne proizvodnje znaten in da ta država uvaža velike količine sveč za lastno potrošnjo.
The Commission investigated other available sources of information in order to find a potential analogue country, namely Eurostat and public database provided by the United States International Trade Commission.
ZDA se je zato štelo kot ustrezno primerljivo državo za namen sedanje preiskave.
It was found that the Union and the US markets are the main worldwide markets for candles and that US production was also exported to the Union market.
Komisija je zaprosila za podporo NCA.
Based on the US National Candle Association (‘the NCA’) web site it emerged that there are around 400 candles producers established in the USA, the total production volume is significant and that this country is importing large amounts for its own consumption.
Eden od proizvajalcev iz ZDA se je odzval in privolil v sodelovanje v preiskavi.
Thus, the USA was considered to be a suitable analogue country for the purpose of the current investigation.
Informacije, ki jih je zagotovil navedeni proizvajalec, so se štele za zadostne in veljavne za določitev normalne vrednosti v sedanji preiskavi.
The Commission requested the support of the NCA and one US producer reacted and agreed to cooperate with the investigation.
Določitev normalne vrednosti
The information provided by the said producer was considered to be sufficient and valid to establish normal value in the current investigation.
Normalna vrednost je bila določena v skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe.
Determination of normal value
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 30 zgoraj, je bila normalna vrednost določena na podlagi podatkov, predloženih in preverjenih v prostorih sodelujočega proizvajalca iz ZDA.
The normal value was established under Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava je pokazala, da se svečarstvo v ZDA razlikuje od tistega v LRK.
As mentioned in recital 30 above, the normal value was established on the basis of the data provided and verified at the premises of the cooperating US producer.
Sodelujoči proizvajalec iz ZDA je tako na primer veliko podjetje z zapleteno prodajno mrežo, ki prodaja omejen izbor vrst izdelka, in sicer izključno odišavljene/dišeče sveče v posodah iz stekla po sorazmerno visokih cenah (gre za t. i. „trg dišav“).
The investigation showed that the candle business in the USA differs from that in the PRC.
Po obsegu proizvodnje je proizvajalec iz ZDA primerljiv z največjimi proizvajalci na Kitajskem, vendar je njegov nabor izdelkov drugačen.
For example, the cooperating US producer is a large company with a complex sales network selling a limited range of product types, exclusively scented/perfumed jars candles, at relatively high prices (so-called ‘fragrance market’).
Kitajske družbe proizvajajo in prodajajo predvsem širok nabor čajnih svečk in stebrastih sveč, pa tudi umetelnih in neodišavljenih sveč.
In terms of volume, the US producer is comparable with the biggest Chinese producers, but the product mix is different.
Preiskava je pokazala tudi, da medtem ko kitajski proizvajalci prodajajo predvsem trgovcem na debelo, proizvajalec iz ZDA večinoma prodaja prek svoje mreže maloprodajnih trgovin.
Chinese companies mainly produce and sell a wide range of tea-lights, pillar candles but also artistic and unscented candles.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se je zdelo primerno določiti normalno vrednost, kot je pojasnjeno v nadaljevanju.
The investigation also showed that whilst Chinese producers mainly sell to wholesalers, the US producer mainly sells through its network of retail shops.
Vrste izdelka, ki jih prodaja proizvajalec iz primerljive države na svojem domačem trgu, so bile primerjane z vrstami izdelka, ki se proizvajajo v LRK in se prodajajo za izvoz v Unijo.
Based on the above, it was considered appropriate to construct the normal value as explained below.
Normalna vrednost modelov, za katere je bilo ugotovljeno, da so enaki ali neposredno primerljivi, je bila določena, kot sledi.
The product types sold by the analogue country producer on its domestic market were compared with the product types produced in the PRC and sold for export to the Union.
Stroškom proizvodnje sodelujočega proizvajalca iz primerljive države v času OPP je bil prištet razumen znesek prodajnih, splošnih in administrativnih stroškov, ki so nastali pri domači prodaji podobnega izdelka na isti ravni trgovine, in razumen znesek dobička, to je 6,5 % (ta stopnja je bila uporabljena za določitev normalne vrednosti v prvotni preiskavi).
For those models which were found identical or directly comparable normal value was constructed as follows.
Normalna vrednost drugih vrst izdelka, ki niso primerljive, je bila določena s prilagoditvijo stroškov proizvodnje, tako da so se odšteli stroški za posode iz stekla/kozarce in dišave v ZDA.
A reasonable amount for selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses incurred on domestic sales of the like product at the same level of trade and a reasonable amount of profit, namely 6,5 % (this margin was used in the original investigation when establishing the normal value) were added to the cost of production of the cooperating analogue country producer during the RIP.
Nato je bil prištet razumen znesek za prodajne, splošne in administrativne stroške in dobiček, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 39 zgoraj.
For the other product types, not comparable, the normal value was established by adjusting the cost of production by removing the cost of jars/glass and fragrance costs in the US.
Določanje izvozne cene
Subsequently, a reasonable amount for SG&A and profit were added as explained in recital 39 above.
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v Unijo je bil neposredno namenjen za neodvisne stranke v Uniji.
Determination of the export price
V skladu s členom 2(8) osnovne uredbe je bila prodajna cena tako določena na podlagi cen, ki so se dejansko plačevale ali se plačujejo in so zabeležene v statističnih podatkih urada Eurostat o uvozu.
The export sales of the sampled exporting producers to the Union were made directly to independent customers located in the Union.
Ta povprečna izvozna cena na ravni CIF je bila ustrezno prilagojena tako, da so se odšteli zlasti stroški prevoza in je bila tako izračunana vrednost cene franko tovarna.
The sales price was thus established in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation, on the basis of the price paid or payable reported in Eurostat import statistics.
Primerjava in prilagoditve
This average export price at CIF level was duly adjusted by deducting in particular the transportation costs to arrive at the ex-works value.
Opravljena je bila primerjava med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno na osnovi franko tovarna.
Comparison and adjustments
Za zagotovitev poštene primerjave med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno so bili v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe, kadar je bilo to primerno in utemeljeno, v obliki prilagoditev ustrezno upoštevani stroški prevoza, zavarovanja, terminala in manipulativni stroški, stroški kredita ter provizije.
The comparison between the normal value and the export price was made on an ex-works basis.
Stopnja dampinga
For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for transport costs, insurance costs, terminal and handling costs, credit costs, and commissions, where applicable and justified, in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je bilo ugotovljeno, da eden od vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni izvajal dampinga svojih izdelkov na trgu Unije.
Dumping margin
Povprečna stopnja dampinga za preostale tri vzorčene proizvajalce izvoznike, izražena kot odstotek cene franko meja Unije pred plačilom dajatve, je znašala približno 60 %.
On the basis of above, it was found that one sampled exporting producer was not dumping its products to the Union market.
Razvoj uvoza v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov
The average dumping margin of three remaining sampled exporting producers, expressed as a percentage of the free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, was found to be around 60 %.
Uvodna opomba
Development of imports should measures be repealed
Med zaslišanjem, ki ga je vodil pooblaščenec za zaslišanje, je ena od strani trdila, da bi bilo treba proizvajalca izvoznika, za katera ukrepi ne veljajo in za katera je bilo v prvotni preiskavi ugotovljeno, da izvajata damping, tj. Ningbo Kwung's Home Interior & Gift Co.
Preliminary remark
Ltd. in Qingdao King King Applied Chemistry Co., Ltd, vključiti v sedanji pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa.
During the hearing chaired by the Hearing Officer, one party claimed that the exporting producers not subject to measures which were found to be dumping during the original investigation, namely Ningbo Kwung's Home Interior & Gift Co., Ltd and Qingdao Kingking Applied Chemistry Co., Ltd should have been included in the current expiry review investigation.
Komisija je poslala obvestilo o začetku vsem zainteresiranim stranem, vključenim v prvotno preiskavo, vključno s proizvajalci izvozniki, pri katerih je bil v prvotni preiskavi ugotovljen damping, vendar pa zanje velja stopnja dajatve nič, ker niso povzročali škode industriji Unije.
The Commission sent the Notice of Initiation to all interested parties of the original investigation including exporting producers who were found to be dumping during the original investigation, but who are subject to zero duty rate because they were not injuring the Union industry.
Komisija je zainteresirane strani seznanila tudi s predlogom vzorčenja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki so tako imele možnost predložiti svoje pripombe.
Moreover, interested parties were informed by the Commission of the proposal for a sample of Chinese exporting producers and had thus the opportunity to submit their comments.
Proizvodne zmogljivosti v LRK
However, none of them came forward and the representativeness of the sample of Chinese exporting producers was not questioned.
Natančne informacije o proizvodni zmogljivosti na ravni države in domači potrošnji sveč v LRK niso javno dostopne.
The Commission therefore considers that there was a consent on the sample proposed and that the sample is representative of the candles industry in the PRC.
Teh informacij ni mogel zagotoviti nobeden od preiskovanih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Production capacity in the PRC
Izvršni direktor enega od vzorčenih podjetij, ki je podpredsednik sekcije za svečarstvo pri združenju kitajske kemijske industrije, celo trdi, da združenje pri svojih članih ne zbira informacij o proizvodnji in potrošnji v LRK.
Precise information on the country-wide production capacity and domestic consumption of candles in the PRC is not publicly available.
Vložniki so v zahtevku za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa trdili, da v LRK obstajajo neizkoriščene proizvodne zmogljivosti, vendar v zvezi s tem niso predložili nikakršnih dokazov.
None of the investigated Chinese exporting producers was in the position to provide such information.
Navedli so, da svečarstvo v LRK še vedno predstavlja nišni trg in je predvsem izvozno usmerjeno.
In fact, according to the CEO of one of the sampled companies, the vice-president of the China Chemical Industry Candles Branch Association, the Association does not collect information from its members about the production and consumption in the PRC.
Vložniki so menili, da so proste proizvodne zmogljivosti večinoma ostale na voljo in da bi jih zlahka lahko spet oživili, saj je za to v glavnem potreben le dostop do nekvalificirane delovne sile in parafina.
The applicants claimed in the expiry review request, though without providing any evidence in this regard, that there is idle production capacity in the PRC.
Nazadnje so te trditve utemeljili s sklicevanjem na ugotovitve v preiskavi ZDA iz leta 2010 v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa [6], ki se je nanašala na ukrepe ZDA glede uvoza sveč iz Kitajske.
They noted that candles are still a niche market in the PRC and the Chinese candle industry is mainly export oriented.
Kar se tiče relevantnosti domnevnih neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti na Kitajskem, so preveritveni obiski vzorčenih družb pokazali, da te obratujejo z visoko izkoriščenostjo zmogljivosti in kljub obstoju dajatev nimajo neizkoriščenih proizvodnih zmogljivosti, ali pa so te zanemarljive.
The applicants considered that the idle production facilities remained mostly in place unused and that they could be reactivated easily as the pre-requisite is mainly limited to access to unskilled labour and paraffin.
To kaže, da so se kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki le prilagodili upadu svetovnega povpraševanja, ki je posledica finančne krize.
Finally, they supported these claims by referring to the conclusions of the 2010 US sunset review investigation [6] concerning the US measures on Chinese candles imports.
V vsakem primeru ravnanje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, za katere ukrepi ne veljajo, njihov izvoz v EU pa se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal, kaže, da trenutno zanje ni nobene spodbude, da bi ponovno oživili domnevno neizkoriščene proizvodne zmogljivosti.
As regards the relevance of alleged Chinese idle production capacity, the verification visits of the sampled companies showed that these are running at high capacity utilisation with no or negligible idle production capacity despite the existence of duties.
V zvezi s preiskavo kitajskih sveč s strani ZDA je treba opozoriti, da je bila zgoraj navedena ugotovitev sprejeta leta 2010 in zato ni nujno relevantna za trenutne razmere.
This would indicate that the Chinese exporting producers rather adjusted to the decrease in worldwide demand which is attributable to the financial crisis.
Zato je težko z gotovostjo sklepati o obsegu neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti, ki so na voljo v LRK, čeprav ni mogoče izključiti, da bi nizkotehnološko proizvodnjo lahko v kratkem času spet zagnali.
In any event, the behaviour of Chinese exporting producers not subject to measures, whose exports to the EU decreased during the period considered, indicates that there is currently no incentive to reactivate the allegedly idle production facilities.
Ena od strani je v svojih pripombah na razkritje poudarila, da Komisija ni pridobila natančnih informacij o razpoložljivih proizvodnih zmogljivostih v LRK, in ponovila trditve iz uvodne izjave 50 zgoraj, da so torej v LRK številni proizvajalci sveč, da proizvodne zmogljivosti, ki temeljijo na nizkotehnološki proizvodnji, še vedno obstajajo in da je slednje preprosto ponovno zagnati.
With respect to the US investigation against Chinese candles, it should be noted that the above conclusion was reached in 2010 and therefore is not necessarily applicable to the current situation.
Ta stran je trdila, da je navedena predpostavka v skladu z ugotovitvami Komisije ZDA za mednarodno trgovino (US ITC) [7], ki jih je ta oblikovala na podlagi svoje preiskave glede sveč s poreklom iz LRK.
Consequently, while it cannot be excluded that the low-tech production can be reactivated in a short time frame it is difficult to conclude with certainty what the extent of spare capacity available in the PRC is.
Komisija ne zanika možnosti, da v LRK obstajajo proste zmogljivosti in da bi kitajski proizvajalci lahko povečali svojo proizvodnjo.
In its comments to the disclosure, one party underlined that the Commission did not obtain precise information on available production capacity in the PRC and reiterated the allegations mentioned in recital 50 above, namely that candle manufacturers are numerous in the PRC and that production facilities relying on low-tech manufacturing still exist and can be quickly re-started.
Glede na strukturo panoge in glede na dejstvo, da se za izdelavo sveč lahko zaposli nizkokvalificirano delovno silo, se to na prvi pogled zdi mogoče.
The party claimed that this assumption is consistent with the findings of the US International Trade Commission (US ITC) [7] in their investigation concerning candles originating in the PRC.
Vendar pa Komisija opozarja, da je kljub konkurenci kitajskih proizvajalcev, za katere ukrepi ne veljajo, v zadevnem obdobju industrija Unije uspela okrepiti svoj položaj na trgu Unije in utrditi svoj znatni tržni delež.
The Commission does not deny that there may be spare capacity in the PRC and that Chinese producers could increase their production.
Komisija poleg tega opozarja, da so bile proizvodne zmogljivosti preverjenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, za katere ukrepi veljajo, visoko izkoriščene ukrepom navkljub.
At first sight, this seems possible in light of the structure of the industry and the fact that low-skilled labour can be employed to produce candles.
V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da so preverjeni kitajski proizvajalci reprezentativen vzorec celotne kitajske svečarske industrije.
However, the Commission points to the fact that despite the competition from Chinese producers not subject to measures, it is the Union industry that managed to strengthen its position on the Union market and consolidate its substantial market share during the period considered.
Nazadnje, štirje od petih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, za katere ukrepi ne veljajo, niso izkoristili svoje konkurenčne prednosti v primerjavi z drugimi kitajskimi proizvajalci in niso povečali svojega izvoza v EU, čeprav bi domnevno lahko preprosto izkoristili nizkotehnološke proizvodne obrate, v katerih je potrebna samo nekvalificirana delovna sila.
Furthermore, the Commission recalls that the verified exporting producers subject to measures were running at high capacity utilisation despite the existence of measures.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da je ugotovitev Komisije ZDA za mednarodno trgovino iz leta 2010, da kitajski proizvajalci lahko hitro povečajo obstoječe zmogljivosti in proizvodnjo, temeljila predvsem na predpostavkah nacionalnega svečarskega združenja, ki so v nasprotju z ugotovitvami te preiskave, kot je razloženo v uvodnih izjavah 49 do 53 zgoraj.
In this respect, it needs to be stressed that the verified Chinese producers are a representative sample of the entire Chinese candles industry.
Zato je treba to trditev zavrniti.
Finally, four out of the five Chinese exporting producers not subject to measures did not benefit from their competitive advantage vis-à-vis other Chinese producers and did not increase their exports to the EU although they were allegedly in a position to easily make use of low-tech production facilities requiring only unskilled labour.
Zadevna stran je predložila dokaze o domnevnem obstoju prostih zmogljivosti.
It should also be noted that the US ITC 2010 determination that Chinese producers have the ability to increase existing capacity and production rapidly is mainly based on assumptions made by the National Candle Association which are at odds with the findings of this investigation as explained above in recitals 49 to 53.
Poleg tega je trdila, da se bodo proizvodne zmogljivosti iz Tajske in Vietnama po izteku protidampinških dajatev verjetno spet vrnile v LRK.
Therefore, this claim has to be rejected.
Dokazi, ki jih je predložila ta stran, ne dokazujejo ne obstoja ne obsega prostih zmogljivosti v LRK.
The party provided evidence allegedly substantiating the existence of spare capacity.
Poleg tega trditev o vračanju proizvodnih zmogljivosti sploh ni bila utemeljena.
The party also claimed that production facilities in Thailand and in Vietnam will likely return to the PRC when the anti-dumping duties expire.
Privlačnost trga Unije
The evidence provided by the party substantiated neither the existence nor the size of spare capacity in the PRC.
LRK se je dosledno uveljavila kot velik izvoznik sveč na svetovno tržišče.
Moreover, the claim on the return of production facilities was not substantiated at all.
Trg Unije je, kar se tiče obsega, daleč najpomembnejši izvozni trg za kitajske sveče, saj je bilo nanj v OPP izvoženih 30 % celotnega izvoza iz Kitajske.
Attractiveness of the Union market
Unija ostaja glavni izvozni trg za Kitajsko tudi po uvedbi dajatev.
The PRC has consistently been a large exporter of candles to the world market.
Ob upoštevanju pomena ravni cen pri odločanju o nakupih na trgu sveč, zlasti glede standardnih izdelkov, kot so čajne svečke in stebraste sveče, je treba poudariti, da so bile povprečne kitajske izvozne cene za njihove glavne trge v tretjih državah (kot so Avstralija, Kanada, Malezija, ZDA, Japonska in Nova Zelandija) višje od cen industrije Unije [8] med OPP.
In terms of volume, the Union market is by far the first export market for Chinese candles, representing 30 % of the total Chinese exports during the RIP.
Kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki zato nimajo gospodarske spodbude, da bi ob morebitni razveljavitvi ukrepov svoj izvoz preusmerili v Unijo.
Even after the imposition of duties, the Union remains the main exports market for the PRC.
Poleg tega se glede na ravnanje kitajskih podjetij, za katera ukrepi ne veljajo, njihova cena na enoto pa je višja od cene industrije Unije, pri čemer ta podjetja neposredno tekmujejo z industrijo Unije, njihov tržni delež pa se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal, ne zdi verjetno, da bi kitajski proizvajalci, za katere velja dajatev, nelojalno nižali prodajne cene industrije Unije le zato, da bi povečali svoj tržni delež.
