imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports of tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron (also known as spheroidal graphite cast iron) originating in India
o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz cevi iz nodularnega litega železa (imenovanega tudi sferoidno grafitno lito železo) s poreklom iz Indije
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1225/2009 of 30 November 2009 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Community [1] (‘the basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 9(4) thereof,
ob upoštevanju Uredbe Sveta (ES) št. 1225/2009 z dne 30. novembra 2009 o zaščiti proti dampinškemu uvozu iz držav, ki niso članice Evropske skupnosti [1] („osnovna uredba“), in zlasti člena 9(4) Uredbe,
On 18 September 2015 the European Commission (‘the Commission’) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron (also known as spheroidal graphite cast iron) originating in India (‘the country concerned’) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/1559 [2] (‘the provisional Regulation’).
Evropska komisija („Komisija“) je 18. septembra 2015 z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2015/1559 [2] („začasna uredba“) uvedla začasno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz cevi iz nodularnega litega železa (imenovanega tudi sferoidno grafitno lito železo) s poreklom iz Indije („zadevna država“) v Unijo.
The investigation was initiated on 20 December 2014 [3] following a complaint lodged on 10 November 2014 by Saint-Gobain PAM Group, (‘the complainant’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron.
Preiskava se je začela 20. decembra 2014 [3] na podlagi pritožbe, ki jo je 10. novembra 2014 vložila skupina Saint-Gobain PAM Group („pritožnik“) v imenu proizvajalcev, ki predstavljajo več kot 25 % celotne proizvodnje cevi iz nodularnega litega železa v Uniji.
As stated in recital 14 of the provisional Regulation the investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2014(‘the investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 14 začasne uredbe, je preiskava dampinga in škode zajemala obdobje od 1. oktobra 2013 do 30. septembra 2014 („obdobje preiskave“).
On 11 March 2015, the Commission initiated a separate anti-subsidy investigation with regard to imports into the Union of tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron originating in India.
Komisija je 11. marca 2015 začela ločeno protisubvencijsko preiskavo v zvezi z uvozom cevi iz nodularnega litega železa s poreklom iz Indije v Unijo.
It published a Notice of Initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union [4].
Obvestilo o začetku je objavila v Uradnem listu Evropske unije [4].
The definitive findings of that investigation are subject to a separate Regulation (‘the anti-subsidy Regulation’) [5].
Dokončne ugotovitve navedene preiskave so predmet ločene uredbe („protisubvencijska uredba“) [5].
The Commission continued seeking and verifying all information it deemed necessary for its definitive findings.
Komisija je nadaljevala zbiranje in preverjanje vseh informacij, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za oblikovanje dokončnih ugotovitev.
The Commission verified on spot additional information provided by a related company based in Italy of one of the cooperating exporting producer.
Na kraju samem je preverila dodatne informacije, ki jih je predložila povezana družba s sedežem v Italiji enega od sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Jindal Saw Limited (‘Jindal’) requested the intervention by the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings (‘the Hearing Officer’) concerning some aspects of the provisional injury calculations.
Družba Jindal Saw Limited („Jindal“) je zahtevala posredovanje pooblaščenca za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih („pooblaščenec za zaslišanje“) v zvezi z nekaterimi vidiki začasnih izračunov škode.
The Hearing Officer examined the request and responded to the exporting producer directly in writing.
Pooblaščenec za zaslišanje je preučil zahtevo in pisno odgovoril neposredno proizvajalcu izvozniku.
Subsequently, the Commission informed all parties of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron originating in India and definitively collect the amounts secured by way of provisional duty (the definitive disclosure).
Nato je Komisija vse strani obvestila o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih je nameravala uvesti dokončno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz cevi iz nodularnega litega železa s poreklom iz Indije v Unijo ter dokončno pobrati zneske, zavarovane z začasno dajatvijo (dokončno razkritje).
All parties were granted a period within which they could make comments on the final disclosure.
Za vse strani je bil določen rok za pošiljanje pripomb v zvezi z dokončnim razkritjem.
On 28 January 2016 a hearing with the Hearing Officer was held at the request of Electrosteel Castings Limited (‘ECL’).
Na zahtevo družbe Electrosteel Castings Limited („ECL“) je 28. januarja 2016 potekalo zaslišanje s pooblaščencem za zaslišanje.
The comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and taken into account where appropriate.
Pripombe zainteresiranih strani so se preučile in upoštevale, kadar je bilo primerno.
As set out in recitals 15 and 16 of the provisional Regulation the product concerned was provisionally defined as tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron (also known as spheroidal graphite cast iron) (‘ductile pipes’) originating in India, currently falling within CN codes ex73030010 and ex73030090.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah (15) in (16) začasne uredbe, je bil zadevni izdelek začasno opredeljen kot cevi iz nodularnega litega železa (imenovanega tudi sferoidno grafitno lito železo) („cevi iz nodularnega litega železa“) s poreklom iz Indije, ki se trenutno uvrščajo pod oznaki KN ex73030010 in ex73030090.
The pipes range between 60 mm and 2000 mm and are 5,5, 6, 7 or 8 meters long.
Cevi imajo premer od 60 mm do 2000 mm, dolge pa so 5,5, 6, 7 ali 8 metrov.
They are normally lined with cement or other materials and externally zinc-coated, painted or tape wrapped.
Običajno so obložene s cementom ali drugimi materiali, njihova zunanja površina pa je prevlečena s cinkom, barvana ali ovita s trakom.
In addition, bare pipes of ductile cast iron fall under the same customs code as coated pipes and their exclusion could therefore lead to circumvention of any anti-dumping measures and undermine the effectiveness of such measures given the Indian exporters' significant capacity to carry out coating in the Union (around 80000 tonnes annually).
Poleg tega spadajo gole cevi iz nodularnega litega železa pod isto carinsko oznako kot prevlečene cevi, zato bi lahko njihova izključitev povzročila izogibanje kakršnim koli protidampinškim ukrepom in zmanjšala učinkovitost takih ukrepov glede na veliko zmogljivost indijskih izvoznikov za izvajanje postopkov nanosa prevleke v Uniji (približno 80000 ton letno).
While compliance with EU standards is not necessarily a decisive factor for determining the product scope, the fact that additional processing must be carried out on a bare pipe before it can be put into its intended end-use, is a factor that cannot be overlooked when analysing whether a bare pipe is a final product or a semi-finished product only.
Vendar se lahko polizdelki in končni izdelki štejejo za en izdelek, če (i) imajo enake bistvene lastnosti in (ii) dodatni stroški predelave niso visoki [6].
Semi-finished goods and finished goods may nevertheless be considered to form a single product if (i) they share the same essential characteristics and, (ii) the additional processing costs are not substantial [6].
Poleg tega je nesporno, da stroški dodajanja notranje in zunanje prevleke golim cevem običajno znašajo do 20 % celotnih stroškov proizvodnje cevi iz nodularnega litega železa.
According to the Commission's verified data the actual capacity is around 15000 tonnes annually.
Glede na omejeno zmogljivost povezane družbe za nanašanje prevleke v Uniji in njen obstoječi poslovni načrt v zvezi z golimi cevmi za naslednja leta, tj. 15000 ton – 21000 ton do leta 2017, ni verjetno, da bi se ta proizvodni obrat lahko spremenil v vstopno točko za množični dotok golih cevi z edinim ciljem, da bi se tam nanje nanesla prevleka in bi se tako izognili dajatvam za dokončane cevi v Uniji, kar bi lahko bil predmet spora v skladu s členom 13 osnovne uredbe.
Moreover, although the imports of bare pipes from India appear to be increasing after the investigation period, the volumes are still modest (less than 10000 tonnes in 2015) according to information from the complainant.
Družba Jindal je po začasnem razkritju zahtevala, da se cevi iz nodularnega litega železa s prirobnico izključijo iz obsega izdelka.
Given the limited coating capacity by the related company in the Union and its current business plan for the forthcoming years in respect of bare pipes, between 15000 tonnes-21000 tonnes by 2017, it is unlikely that this production site would be turned into an entry gate for a massive influx of bare pipes with the sole objective to coat them in order to avoid duties for finished pipes in the Union, which could potentially raise an issue under Article 13 of the basic Regulation.
Zahtevo je ponovila po dokončnem razkritju.
Jindal requested after provisional disclosure that flanged pipes of ductile cast iron should be excluded from the product scope.
V nasprotju z golimi cevmi so cevi s prirobnico cevi iz nodularnega litega železa, ki se dokončno predelajo z nanosom notranje in zunanje prevleke.
It repeated the request after definitive disclosure.
Zato so primerne za prenos vode in odplak brez nadaljnje predelave.
Therefore, although some additional processing is required to manufacture flanged pipes from pipes of ductile iron pipes, the Commission considered them to form a single product and the exclusion request is rejected.
Preiskava je pokazala, da imata zadevni izdelek, kot je opredeljen zgoraj ter ki se proizvaja in prodaja v Indiji, ter izdelek, ki se proizvaja in prodaja v Uniji, enake osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti, zato sta podobna izdelka v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
In view of the above considerations, the product concerned is definitively defined as tubes and pipes of ductile cast iron (also known as spheroidal graphite cast iron) (‘ductile pipes’), with the exclusion of ductile pipes without internal and external coating (‘bare pipes’), originating in India, currently falling within CN codes ex73030010 and ex73030090.
DAMPING
The investigation showed that the product concerned, as defined above, manufactured and sold in India as well as the product manufactured and sold in the Union, have the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and are therefore like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Normalna vrednost
DUMPING
Po začasnem razkritju je družba ECL navedla, da so bili nekateri prodajni, splošni in administrativni stroški (PSA), sporočeni za domačo prodajo, že sporočeni kot proizvodni stroški, kar je privedlo do dvojnega štetja, zaradi česar bi bilo treba te stroške popraviti.
Normal value
Poleg tega je zahtevala popravek nekaterih stroškov, ki so se upoštevali za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti, in odbitek nekaterih popravkov pri konstruiranju normalne vrednosti.
After provisional disclosure, ECL submitted that certain costs reported in the selling, general and administrative expenses (SG&A) for the domestic sales had already been reported as costs of manufacturing, which resulted in double counting, and that accordingly these costs should be corrected.
Komisija je na podlagi preverjenih dokazov, ki so ji bili na voljo, potrdila, da so bili nekateri stroški sporočeni dvakrat, in to popravila tako, da jih je odštela od PSA-stroškov.
In addition, it requested the correction of certain costs taken into account for the construction of the normal value and the deduction of certain allowances when constructing the normal value.
Po potrebi je izvedla tudi popravke za nekatere stroške in popravke za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti.
Based on the verified evidence at its disposal, the Commission accepted that certain costs were reported twice and corrected this by deducting these from the SG&A costs.
Komisija je po dokončnem razkritju ugotovila, da so bili za istega proizvajalca izvoznika napačno odšteti nekateri stroški, povezani s cenami, tj. večinoma finančni stroški, in sicer v primerih, kjer je bila konstruirana normalna vrednost.
The Commission also made corrections for certain costs and allowances for the construction of the normal value, where necessary.
To je bilo popravljeno in zadevna družba je bila o tem ustrezno obveščena.
After definitive disclosure, the Commission established that for the same exporting producer certain price related costs mainly finance costs were erroneously deducted in cases where the normal value was constructed.
Oba proizvajalca izvoznika sta trdila, da bi morala Komisija pri konstruiranju normalne vrednosti odšteti povprečne stroške kredita, ne pa jih v celoti izključiti, kot je storila v začasni fazi.
This was corrected and the company concerned was informed accordingly.
Ta trditev je bila zavrnjena, saj se povprečni stroški kredita štejejo za pomembne samo pri konstruiranju normalne vrednosti na podlagi domačih cen, medtem ko niso pomembni, če se normalna vrednost konstruira na podlagi stroškov proizvodnje, kot se je za zadevne vrste izdelka.
Both exporting producers claimed that the Commission should have deducted average credit costs when constructing the normal value, rather than excluding them altogether, as the Commission did at provisional stage.
Razlog za to je, da stroški kredita niso povezani s stroški proizvodnje, temveč so običajno dejavnik, ki se upošteva pri določanju cen.
This claim was rejected as average credit costs are considered only to be relevant when establishing normal value on the basis of domestic prices, whereas they are irrelevant when the normal value is constructed on the basis of the cost of production, as was the case for the product types concerned.
Družba Jindal je po začasnem razkritju tudi trdila, da Komisija za nereprezentativno prodajo [7] ne bi smela uporabljati dejanske stopnje dobička, dosežene za zadevno prodajo, saj je bila previsoka, temveč bi morala uporabljati tehtano povprečno stopnjo dobička družbe.
The reason for this is that credit costs are not related to the cost of production, but are, normally, a factor taken into account in the determination of the prices.
Proizvajalec izvoznik je ponovil svojo trditev po dokončnem razkritju, ni pa predložil novih dokazov.
After provisional disclosure, Jindal also argued that for non-representative sales [7] the Commission should not use the actual profit margin achieved for those sales as it was too high but rather the company weighted average profit margin.
Komisija je to trditev zavrnila, saj je normalna vrednost za tako nereprezentativno prodajo temeljila na dejanskem dobičku, ki ga je proizvajalec izvoznik ustvaril pri tej prodaji, kot je navedeno v členu 2(6) osnovne uredbe.
The exporting producer reiterated its claim after definitive disclosure, but did not provide any new evidence.
Po začasnem razkritju je isti proizvajalec izvoznik tudi trdil, da bi bilo treba pri prilagoditvah, izvedenih za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti, odšteti stroške prevoza.
The Commission rejected this claim as the normal value for such non-representative sales was based on the actual profit realised by the exporting producer on those sales as provided for in Article 2(6) of the basic Regulation.
To je bilo tudi storjeno, saj je Komisija odštela stroške prevoza, da bi pri konstruiranju normalne vrednosti že v začasni fazi dosegla raven cen franko tovarna.
After provisional disclosure, the same exporting producer also claimed that freight costs should have been deducted in the adjustments made to construct the normal value.
Po dokončnem razkritju je isti proizvajalec izvoznik trdil, da je šlo za administrativno napako, zaradi česar pri prilagoditvah, izvedenih za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti, stroški pakiranja niso bili odšteti.
This was done, however, as the Commission deducted freight costs in order to arrive at an ex-works level in the construction of the normal value already at provisional stage.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je trditev utemeljena, in napaka je bila ustrezno popravljena.
After definitive disclosure, the same exporting producer argued that there was a clerical error and, as a result, the packing costs were not deducted in the adjustments made to construct the normal value.
Po začasnem razkritju je industrija Unije znova trdila, da bi morala Komisija prilagoditi normalno vrednost ob upoštevanju indijske izvozne dajatve na železovo rudo.
The claim was found to be justified and the error was corrected accordingly.
Komisija je v vzporedni protisubvencijski preiskavi ugotovila, da so bile cene železove rude v Indiji izkrivljene zaradi različnih omejitev izvoza v Indiji.
After provisional disclosure, the Union industry reiterated its claim that the Commission should make an adjustment to the normal value taking into account the Indian export tax on iron ore.
V teh okoliščinah ni potrebe po nadaljnji obravnavi tega izkrivljanja v tej preiskavi, saj bi to privedlo do dvojnega štetja učinkov subvencije.
The Commission established in the parallel anti-subsidy investigation that iron ore prices in India were distorted through the various export restraints in India.
Ker drugih pripomb ni bilo, se uvodne izjave (19) do (32) začasne uredbe potrdijo.
In these circumstances, there is no need to address this distortion further in this investigation as to do so would amount to double-counting of the effects of the subsidy.
Izvozna cena
In the absence of other comments, recitals 19 to 32 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Po začasnem razkritju je družba ECL navedla, da so bili nekateri PSA-stroški povezanih družb v Uniji, sporočeni za izvoz, že sporočeni kot stroški po uvozu, kar je privedlo do dvojnega štetja.
Export price
Poleg tega je zahtevala popravek nekaterih stroškov, ki so se upoštevali za določitev izvozne cene v skladu s členom 2(9) osnovne uredbe in pri uporabi člena 2(10)(g) osnovne uredbe.
After provisional disclosure, ECL submitted that certain costs reported in the SG&A of the related companies in the Union for the export sales were already reported as post-importation costs, which resulted in double counting.
Komisija je potrdila, da so bili nekateri stroški sporočeni dvakrat, in jih je odštela od PSA-stroškov povezanih družb v Uniji.
In addition, it requested the correction of certain costs taken into account in both the determination of the export price in accordance with Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation and in the application of Article 2(10)(g) of the basic Regulation.
Izvedla je tudi popravke za nekatere stroške in popravke za konstruiranje izvozne cene, kjer je bilo ustrezno.
The Commission accepted that certain costs were reported twice and deducted them from the SG&A costs of the related companies in the Union.
Drugi proizvajalec izvoznik je prav tako opredelil nekatere stroške, ki so bili odšteti dvakrat, torej kot stroški po uvozu in v okviru PSA-stroškov povezanih družb v Uniji.
The Commission also made corrections for certain costs and allowances for the construction of the export price, where appropriate.
Zahteval je tudi ponovni izračun nekaterih popravkov.
The other exporting producer also identified certain costs which were deducted twice, that is as post importation costs and as part of the SG&A costs of the related companies in the Union.
Komisija je analizirala trditev in izvedla popravke, kjer je bilo ustrezno.
It also requested the recalculation of certain allowances.
Kot je pojasnjeno tudi v dokončnem razkritju, je bilo nekaj negativnih izvoznih cen, navedenih v prilogah k razkritju, povezanih z dobropisi in popusti, kar je potrjevalo dejstvo, da so bile tudi prijavljene količine negativne in niso bile posledica kakršne koli prilagoditve na podlagi člena 2(9) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission analysed the claim and made corrections, where appropriate.
Ta proizvajalec izvoznik je tudi trdil, da Komisija za konstruiranje izvozne cene ne bi smela uporabiti člena 2(9) osnovne uredbe, temveč bi morala izvozna cena temeljiti na transfernih cenah med proizvajalcem izvoznikom in njegovimi povezanimi družbami v Uniji.
As also explained in the definitive disclosure, the few negative export prices that appeared in the annexes to the disclosure were related to credit notes and discounts, which was shown by the fact that the quantities reported were also negative, and did not result from any adjustment made on the basis of Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation.
Trdil je, da so te cene zanesljive iz treh razlogov.
This exporting producer also claimed that the Commission should not have applied Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation for constructing the export price, but that the export price should have been based on the transfer prices between the exporting producer and its related companies in the Union instead.
Prvič, cena, ki jo družba zaračunava svojim povezanim družbam v Uniji, naj bi bila v skladu s ceno, ki jo proizvajalec izvoznik zaračunava nepovezanim uvoznikom v Uniji.
It argued that these prices are reliable for three reasons.
Drugič, cena, ki jo proizvajalec izvoznik zaračunava svojim povezanim družbam v Uniji, je tudi v skladu z njegovimi izvoznimi cenami, ki jih zaračunava nepovezanim uvoznikom na drugih trgih.
First, the price charged by the company to its related companies in the Union was said to be in line with the price charged by the exporting producer to unrelated importers in the Union.
Tretjič, nacionalni carinski organi v Uniji vztrajajo, da so cene, ki jih proizvajalci izvozniki zaračunavajo svojim povezanim družbam, zanesljive.
Second, the price charged by the exporting producer to its related companies in the Union was also in line with its export prices to unrelated importers in other markets.
Proizvajalec izvoznik je ponovil svojo trditev po dokončnem razkritju, vendar ni navedel novih argumentov ali predložil novih dokazov.
Third, the national customs authorities in the Union have consistently considered that the prices charged by the exporting producers to its related companies were reliable.
To je trdil že v začasni fazi (glej uvodno izjavo (44) začasne uredbe).
After definitive disclosure, the exporting producer reiterated its claim, without, however, bringing forward new arguments or evidence.
Posledično je Komisija zavrnila prvi in drugi argument proizvajalca izvoznika iz istih razlogov, kot so navedeni v uvodni izjavi (45) začasne uredbe.
The exporting producer made this claim already at provisional stage (see recital 44 of the provisional Regulation).
Poleg tega je zavrnila tudi tretji argument družbe iz razlogov, navedenih v uvodni izjavi (37) začasne uredbe, na podlagi katerih je zavrnila podobno trditev drugega proizvajalca izvoznika.
Consequently, the Commission rejected the exporting producer's first and second arguments for the same reasons as the ones set out in recital 45 of the provisional Regulation.
Po dokončnem razkritju je družba Jindal znova trdila, da bi bilo treba prilagoditev stroškov kredita za njen povezani subjekt v Španiji popraviti z uporabo nove formule za izračun obrestne mere.
In addition, the Commission refuted the company's third argument for the reasons contained in recital 37 of the provisional Regulation, on the basis of which it rejected a similar claim from the other exporting producer.
Vendar je bila prilagoditev izračunana na podlagi podatkov, ki jih je družba navedla v izpolnjenem vprašalniku.
After definitive disclosure, Jindal reiterated its claim that the credit costs adjustment for its related entity in Spain should be corrected by applying a new formula for calculating the interest rate.
Predloženi niso bili nobeni dokazi, zakaj teh podatkov ni bilo mogoče uporabiti.
