The investigation showed that crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels and cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules or panels (henceforth ‘solar cells and modules’), as defined above, exported to the Union from the PRC and those consigned from Malaysia and Taiwan to the Union have the same basic physical and technical characteristics and have the same uses, and are therefore to be considered as like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.

Uvoz iz Malezije
As stated in recital (9), eight exporting producers in Malaysia cooperated by submitting complete questionnaire replies.
Medtem ko se je uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK v Unijo zmanjšal, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 24, se je skupni uvoz izdelka v preiskavi iz Malezije v Unijo znatno povečal za + 245 %.
In the case of three of the cooperating Malaysian companies the application of Article 18(1) of the basic Regulation was found to be warranted for the reasons explained below in recitals (88) and following.
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja med Malezijo in Unijo postane še pomembnejša za fotonapetostne module iz kristalnega silicija („moduli“), če se analizira ločeno od celic, kakršne se uporabljajo v fotonapetostnih modulih iz kristalnega silicija („celice“).
The cooperating Malaysian exporting producers accounted for 57 % of the total Malaysian imports of the product under investigation to the Union in the RP as reported in Comext.
Obseg uvoza modulov iz Malezije se je s 108 MW v letu 2012 povečal na 1036 MW v obdobju poročanja (+ 860 %).
Change in the pattern of trade in Malaysia
Ob upoštevanju upada skupnega uvoza se je tržni delež uvoza modulov iz Malezije v Unijo povečal z 1 % v letu 2012 na 17 % v obdobju poročanja (+ 1793 %).
Imports of the product under investigation from Malaysia into the Union
Povečanje uvoza celic iz Malezije je znatno zaostajalo za uvozom modulov, in sicer je njihov uvoz s 358 MW v letu 2012 zrasel na 573 MW v obdobju poročanja (+ 60 %).
Table 2 shows the volume of imports of the product under investigation from Malaysia into the Union in the investigation period:
Tržni delež uvoza celic iz Malezije v Unijo se je povečal z 10 % v letu 2012 na 27 % v obdobju poročanja (+ 165 %).
Table 2
Zgoraj navedeni podatki kažejo, da je od prvotne preiskave, ki se je začela leta 2012, in od uvedbe veljavnih ukrepov leta 2013 uvoz sončnih celic in modulov iz Malezije v določeni meri nadomestil uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK v Unijo.
Comext and request
Pri določitvi gibanja trgovinskega toka sončnih celic in modulov iz LRK v Malezijo so bili uporabljeni malezijski in kitajski statistični podatki ter podatki iz zahtevka [7].
Imports from Malaysia
Tako kitajski kot malezijski statistični podatki so na voljo samo na ravni skupine izdelkov, ki presega raven zadevnega izdelka [8].
While the imports of the product concerned from the PRC into the Union dropped as outlined in recital (24), the total imports of the product under investigation from Malaysia to the Union increased significantly by + 245 %.
Vendar pa je bilo na podlagi podatkov zbirke Comext, preverjenih podatkov o kitajskih in malezijskih proizvajalcih sončnih celic in modulov ter zahtevka ugotovljeno, da je znatni del te skupine zajemal zadevni izdelek, zato je bilo navedene podatke mogoče upoštevati [9].
The increase was particularly steep after the imposition of the measures in force in 2013.
Obseg izvoza v kitajskih in obseg uvoza v malezijskih statističnih podatkih se razlikujeta, ker carinska zakonika v teh dveh državah ne zajemata istih izdelkov [9] Glej prejšnjo opombo.
As the total imports decreased substantially due to a fall in the Union consumption, the share of Malaysian imports in total imports into the Union increased even more (+ 553 %) compared to the increase of imports.
Čeprav so malezijski podatki o uvozu precej višji od kitajskih podatkov o izvozu, oba niza podatkov kažeta enak trend povečevanja izvoza iz Kitajske v Malezijo.
The change in the pattern of trade between Malaysia and the Union becomes even more significant for crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules (‘modules’) if they are analysed separately from the cells of the type used in crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules (‘cells’).
Glede na to, da so malezijski podatki o uvozu precej večji od kitajskih izvoznih podatkov, so v analizi kot konservativnejši uporabljeni slednji.
The imports of modules from Malaysia in volume increased from 108 MW in 2012 to 1036 MW in the RP (+ 860 %).
Obstajajo dokazi, da se je del uvoza kitajskega izdelka v Malezijo zmotno ali goljufivo deklariral kot uvoz drugih izdelkov.
Given the falling total imports, the market share of imports of modules from Malaysia to the Union increased from 1 % in 2012 to 17 % in the RP (+ 1793 %).
Uvoženi laminirani sončni moduli so bili na primer deklarirani kot solarno steklo ali kot celice, čeprav bi morali biti prijavljeni kot moduli, kakor je razloženo v uvodni izjavi 62.
The imports of cells from Malaysia increased much less than modules — from 358 MW in 2012 to 573 MW in the RP (+ 60 %).
Zato kitajska izvozna statistika iz razpredelnice 3 zelo verjetno podcenjuje obseg uvoza modulov in morda malenkost precenjuje uvoz celic.
The market share of imports of cells from Malaysia into the Union increased from 10 % in 2012 to 27 % in the RP (+ 165 %).
Razpredelnica 3
The data above shows that, since the original investigation was launched in 2012 and the measures in force were imposed in 2013, the imports of solar cells and modules from Malaysia have to some extent replaced the imports of the product concerned from the PRC to the Union.

Chinese exports to Malaysia
Zahtevek, Global Trade Information Services.
To establish the trend of the trade flow of solar cells and modules from China to Malaysia, Malaysian and Chinese statistics as well as data from the request was used [7].
Uvoz iz LRK v Malezijo
Both Chinese and Malaysian statistics are only available at a higher product group level than the product concerned [8].
Celice
However, on the basis of Comext data, verified data regarding Chinese and Malaysian producers of solar cells and modules and the request, it was established that a significant part covered the product concerned, so these data could be taken into account [9].
Moduli
There is a difference between the volumes of exports reported in Chinese statistics and the volumes of imports reported in the Malaysian statistics as the relevant customs codes in two countries have a different scope [9] idem
Skupaj
Although the Malaysian import data report much higher levels than the Chinese export data, both sets of data show the same upward trend of exports from China to Malaysia.
Indeks za celice
As the Malaysian import data has much higher level than the Chinese export data, the latter is used for the analysis as a more conservative one.
Indeks za module
There is evidence that some of the imports of the Chinese product into Malaysia were wrongly or fraudulently declared as other products.
Indeks skupno
For example the imports of laminated solar modules were declared as solar glass or were declared as cells, whereas they should be reported as modules as explained in recital (62).
Razpredelnica 4
This is why the Chinese export statistics shown in Table 3 most likely underestimate the imports of modules and can slightly overstate the imports of cells.

Praksa, postopek ali dejavnost med drugim vključuje pošiljanje izdelka, za katerega veljajo ukrepi, prek tretjih držav.
The consumption of modules at the Malaysian domestic market was far below the level of exports from the PRC after the measures in force were imposed in 2013 as shown in Table 5.

Therefore, the evolution of the domestic consumption does not justify such an increase of imports of solar cells and modules from the PRC to Malaysia.

Poleg tega je bilo ugotovljeno, kakor je navedeno spodaj v uvodnih izjavah od vključno (88), da so številni sodelujoči malezijski proizvajalci predložili zavajajoče informacije, zlasti glede odnosa s kitajskimi proizvajalci, uvoza končnih izdelkov iz Kitajske in porekla v Unijo izvoženega izdelka v preiskavi.
Domestic Consumption of modules
Za nekatere je bilo ugotovljeno, da so fotonapetostne module iz kristalnega silicija kitajskega porekla izvažali v Unijo, za nekatere druge družbe pa, da so goljufivo deklarirale ključne sestavne dele kot solarno steklo in ponarejale račune.

Poleg tega je Evropski urad za boj proti goljufijam (OLAF) leta 2014 začel preiskavo v zvezi z domnevnim pretovarjanjem sončnih celic in modulov prek Malezije.
Conclusion on the change in the pattern of trade in Malaysia
Ta preiskava še poteka.
The investigation found evidence of the decrease in imports from the PRC to the Union and the parallel increase in exports from the PRC to Malaysia and of exports from Malaysia to the Union of solar cells and modules after the original investigation was launched in 2012 and the measures in force were imposed in 2013.
Glede na zgoraj navedene premisleke je obstoj pretovarjanja izdelka v preiskavi prek Malezije torej potrjen.
These changes in trade flows constitute a change in the pattern of trade between the above mentioned countries on the one hand and the Union on the other hand.

The high level of imports of modules from the PRC exceeding the domestic consumption as indicated in recital (36) and the high level of non-cooperation by the Malaysian show that a large proportion of modules consigned from the PRC must have been transhipped via Malaysia to the Union.
Celotni uvoz
In addition, as set out in detail below in recitals (88) and following, it was found that a number of the cooperating Malaysian producers provided misleading information, in particular regarding the relationship to Chinese manufacturers, imports of finished goods from China and the origin of exports of the product under investigation to the Union.
Kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 24, se je obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz Kitajske v Unijo po uvedbi veljavnih ukrepov decembra 2013 znatno zmanjšal.
Some of them were found to export Chinese origin crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules to the Union, some other companies were found to have fraudulently declared key components as solar glass and to have falsified the invoices.
Po drugi strani pa se je v istem obdobju znatno povečal (za + 30 %) obseg uvoza izdelka v preiskavi iz Tajvana v Unijo.
In addition, in 2014 the European Anti-fraud Office (OLAF) started an investigation into alleged transhipment of solar cells and modules via Malaysia.
Skupni uvoz izdelka v preiskavi v Unijo se je zmanjšal, zato se je tržni delež tajvanskega uvoza izdelka v preiskavi v Unijo v obdobju poročanja povečal z 9 % leta 2012 na 22 % (povečanje za + 147 %).
This investigation is still on-going.
Zgoraj navedeni podatki kažejo, da je od prvotne preiskave, ki se je začela leta 2012, in od uvedbe veljavnih ukrepov leta 2013 uvoz sončnih celic in modulov iz Tajvana v določeni meri nadomestil uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK v Unijo.
In light of the considerations above the existence of transhipment of the product under investigation via Malaysia has therefore been confirmed.
Kitajski izvoz v Tajvan
Results of the investigation in Taiwan
Tajvanski organi so predložili statistične podatke o uvozu in izvozu sončnih celic in modulov iz območij proste trgovine in carinskih skladišč („OPT“).
Degree of cooperation and determination of the trade volumes in Taiwan
Uvoz sončnih celic in modulov iz LRK v Tajvan je prepovedan.
As stated in recital (10) 23 groups of companies or companies in Taiwan cooperated and submitted complete replies to the questionnaire.
Kitajske sončne celice in moduli ter druge ključne komponente lahko zato vstopijo samo v OPT, od koder se pozneje ponovno izvozijo ali uporabijo kot surovina v drugem izdelku, ki se ponovno izvozi.
The cooperating Taiwanese exporting producers accounted for 63,3 % of the total Taiwanese exports of the product under investigation to the Union in the IP as reported in Comext.
Komisija ugotavlja, da je skoraj ves uvoz celic in modulov v OPT prišel iz Kitajske.
