Komisija je dobičkonosnost obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije določila tako, da je neto dobiček pred obdavčitvijo pri prodaji silicij-mangana nepovezanim strankam v Uniji izrazila kot odstotek prihodkov od navedene prodaje.

Njuna prodajna cena in količina silicij-mangana sta se ves čas zmanjševali, spremljajoče zniževanje stroškov proizvodnje pa tega ni ustrezno kompenziralo.
The Commission established the profitability of the two cooperating Union producers by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of silico-manganese to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales.
Tudi drugi kazalniki, kot sta denarni tok in donosnost naložb, so bili skozi celotno obravnavano obdobje negativni ali pa so bili v upadu.
Profitability was negative throughout the period considered.
Komisija je glede obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije na podlagi navedenega sklenila, da je glavni delež industrije Unije utrpel znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(1) po oceni vseh ustreznih gospodarskih dejavnikov in kazalnikov, ki vplivajo na stanje industrije, kakor določa člen 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
The worst year was 2011.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da tudi če se upoštevajo samo gospodarski kazalniki obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije, ti ne kažejo znatne škode.
The situation started to improve in 2012 but deteriorated again in the following year and during the IP.
Poudarile so, na primer, da čeprav se je obseg prodaje sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije v absolutnem smislu zmanjšal, se je ta povečal v smislu tržnega deleža.
During the IP, the situation improved somewhat in comparison with 2011.
Menile so, da je to pozitiven razvoj v kontekstu zmanjševanja povpraševanja po silicij-manganu.
The net cash flow is the ability of the Union producers to self-finance their activities.
Zlasti so poudarile, da čeprav sta sodelujoča proizvajalca Unije skozi celotno obravnavano obdobje ustvarjala izgubo, se je njun položaj od leta 2012 do konca OP izboljševal.
The trend in net cash flow is cyclical, it went down in 2012, up in 2013 and down again during the IP.
To so šteli kot dodaten pozitiven razvoj.
The level of investment decreased over the period considered.
Komisija se strinja, da gospodarski dejavniki in indeksi, ki vplivajo na položaj industrije, niso vsi negativni.
The return on investments is the profit in percentage of the net book value of investments.
Vendar je neizpodbitno dejstvo, da je večina gospodarskih in finančnih kazalnikov negativna za oba sodelujoča proizvajalca Unije.
Since the level of investment decreased, the return on investment (always negative since the two cooperating companies were loss-making) improved over the period considered.
Zato je Komisija to trditev zavrnila.
Conclusion on injury
Pritožnik je zatrjeval, da je Komisija s sklicevanjem na člen 3(5) priznala, da je dampinški uvoz dejansko povzročil znatno škodo.
Factors such as the evolution of the production volume, the capacity utilisation as well as sales volume and price display a clear negative trend for the entire Union industry.
Vendar to ni tisto, kar je ugotovila Komisija.
As regards the two cooperating Union producers, the indicators show that they have been loss-making throughout the period considered.
Najprej je ugotovila, da je glavni delež industrije Unije utrpel znatno škodo, ne da bi se sklicevala na možne razloge za to škodo.
Their sales price and volume of silico-manganese decreased constantly and this was not sufficiently compensated by the concomitant reduction in the cost of production.
Komisija je naknadno, kakor zahteva člen 3(6) osnovne uredbe, proučila, ali je dampinški uvoz iz Indije povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
Other indicators such as cash flow, return on investment were negative as well throughout the period considered or followed a downward trend.
Pritožnik trdi, da če je iz ocene vseh ustreznih gospodarskih dejavnikov in kazalnikov, ki vplivajo na stanje industrije, kakor določa člen 3(5) osnovne uredbe, mogoče sklepati, da je industrija Unije utrpela škodo, to tudi pomeni, da škodo povzroča dampinški uvoz.
On the basis of the above findings with regard to the two cooperating Union producers, the Commission concluded that a major proportion of the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(1) after an evaluation of all relevant economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the industry, as set out in Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Vendar je to napačna razlaga osnovne uredbe.
Some interested parties submitted that even considering only the economic indicators of the two cooperating Union producers, their economic indicators do not show material injury.
Kot določa člen 3(6) osnovne uredbe, je eden od pogojev, ki morajo biti izpolnjeni za naložitev protidampinške dajatve, ta, da je treba dokazati, da dampinški uvoz povzroča škodo.
They underlined for instance that even if the sales volume of the cooperating Union producers decreased in absolute terms, it increased in terms of market share.
To zahteva celovito analizo vzročnosti in ni le domneva, kot navaja pritožnik.
They considered that this is a positive development in a context of shrinking demand for silico-manganese.
Taka analiza je opravljena v razdelku 6 spodaj.
They stressed in particular that even if the cooperating Union producers were loss-making throughout the period considered, their situation was improving from 2012 to the end of the IP.
VZROČNA ZVEZA
They considered this as an additional positive development.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(6) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali je dampinški uvoz iz Indije povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
The Commission agrees that not all economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the industry show negative trends.
Učinki dampinškega uvoza iz Indije
However, the fact remains that most of the economic and financial indicators show a negative situation for the two cooperating Union producers.
Komisija ni ugotovila, da se je težak gospodarski položaj obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije pojavil istočasno s povečanjem obsega dampinškega uvoza iz Indije.
Therefore, the Commission rejected this claim.
Obseg uvoza iz Indije se je leta 2012 v primerjavi z letom 2011 povečal, potem pa zmanjšal (glej preglednico 11), tako v absolutnem smislu kot tudi v povezavi s proizvodnjo in potrošnjo v Uniji.
The complainant alleged that by referring to Article 3(5), the Commission recognised that the dumped imports have actually caused material injury.
To kaže nasprotno gibanje v primerjavi s položajem obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije, ki sta največje izgube utrpela leta 2011 (ko je bil obseg uvoza iz Indije najmanjši, tako v absolutnem smislu kot tudi v povezavi s proizvodnjo in potrošnjo), najmanjše pa leta 2012 (ko je bil obseg uvoza iz Indije največji, spet tako v absolutnem smislu kot tudi v povezavi s proizvodnjo in potrošnjo).
However, this is not what the Commission concluded.
Podobno se je v OP v primerjavi z letom 2013 finančni položaj obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije poslabšal, obseg uvoza iz Indije pa zmanjšal, tako v absolutnem smislu kot tudi v povezavi s proizvodnjo in potrošnjo v Uniji.
The Commission first concluded that a major proportion of the Union industry suffered material injury, without referring to possible causes of this injury.
Preglednica 11
Subsequently, as required by the Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports from India caused material injury.
Uvoz in obseg prodaje (v metričnih tonah), tržni delež in dobičkonosnost
The reasoning of the complainant that, in case an evaluation of all relevant economic factors and indices having a bearing on the state of the industry, as set out in Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, leads to the conclusion that there is injury suffered by the Union industry, also means that the injury is caused by dumped imports, misinterprets the basic Regulation.
Podatki Eurostata skupaj z informacijami o „neopredeljenem“ uvozu, izpolnjeni vprašalniki.
As set out in Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, one of the conditions to be met in order to impose an anti-dumping duty, is that it must be demonstrated that the dumped imports are causing injury.
Obseg prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije
This requires a full causality analysis and is not mere assumption as the complainant suggests.
Tržni delež industrije Unije
Such analysis is made in Section 6 below.
Tržni delež uvoza iz Indije
CAUSATION
Pritožnik je nasprotno gibanje med obsegom uvoza in dobičkonosnostjo obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije pojasnil, kakor sledi.
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports from India caused material injury to the Union industry.
Zaradi izjemnih stroškov energije v eni državi članici leta 2011 je imel eden od proizvajalcev Unije leta 2011 večjo izgubo kot leta 2012, ko so se stroški energije znižali.
Effects of the dumped imports from India
Če leta 2011 ne bi bilo takih izjemnih stroškov energije, bi gibanja pokazala, da so največje izgube obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije nastale v OP.
The Commission did not observe a coincidence in time between the trend of the difficult economic situation of the two cooperating Union producers and the increase of volume of dumped imports from India.
Komisija je sprejela dejstvo, da se je eden od obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije leta 2011 soočal z izjemnimi stroški energije.
The volume of imports from India increased in 2012 compared to 2011, but decreased afterwards (see Table 11), both in absolute terms and relative to production and consumption in the Union.
Vendar po prilagoditvi stroškov proizvodnje ter dobičkonosnosti za zadevno leto nasprotno gibanje še vedno ostaja enako.
This displays a counter-trend compared to the situation of the two cooperating Union producers, which incurred the highest losses in 2011 (when the volume of imports from India was the lowest, both in absolute terms and relative to production and consumption), and the lowest losses in 2012 (when the volume of imports from India was the highest, again both in absolute terms and relative to production and consumption).
Največja izguba obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije (nastala v OP) sovpada z zmanjšanjem obsega uvoza iz Indije, tako v absolutnem smislu kot tudi v povezavi s proizvodnjo in potrošnjo v Uniji.
Similarly, during the IP, the financial situation of the two cooperating Union producers deteriorated but the volume of imports from India decreased, both in absolute terms and relative to production and consumption, compared to 2013.
Pritožnik je poleg tega trdil, da analiza po letih (tj. razvoj dampinškega uvoza v primerjavi s poslabšanjem uspešnosti na letni podlagi) na trgu surovin ni bila točna, in menil, da bi morala analiza temeljiti na gibanjih med letom 2011 in OP, ter predlagal naslednjo metodologijo.
Table 11
Komisija je potrošnjo silicij-mangana v Uniji izračunala kot seštevek domače prodaje in uvoza.
Import and sales volume (in metric tonnes), market share and profitability
Pritožnik ni pojasnil, zakaj ta metoda ne more veljati za točno.
Eurostat data combined with information on ‘not specified’ imports, Questionnaire replies.
Potrošnja Unije je v obravnavanem obdobju upadala, skladno s svetovnim gibanjem manjšega povpraševanja po silicij-manganu.
Union Industry's Sales volume on the Union market
Komisija je ugotovila, da sta se tako prodaja obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije kot tudi uvoz iz vseh tretjih držav v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala.
Market share of Union industry
Vendar je bil zaradi zmanjšanja potrošnje uvoz iz vseh tretjih držav bolj prizadet, medtem ko sta sodelujoča proizvajalca Unije uspela ohraniti svoj tržni delež.
Market share of imports from India
Poleg tega se je v okviru uvoza iz vseh tretjih držav indijski uvoz leta 2012 povečal in potem zmanjšal, medtem ko se je uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav leta 2012 zmanjšal in potem povečal.
The complainant explained the counter-trend between volume of import and profitability of the two cooperating Union producers, as follows.
Komisija je menila, da pritožnikova trditev glede učinka množičnega kopičenja zalog indijskega uvoza ni bila dovolj utemeljena.
The Commission accepted that in 2011 one of the two cooperating Union producers was facing exceptional energy costs.
Informacije, ki jih je predložil pritožnik, so pripeljale le do ugotovitve, da je bila realna potrošnja silicij-mangana med marcem 2011 in marcem 2012 manjša od očitne potrošnje ter da bi bile te nakopičene zaloge dane na trg od marca 2012, kar je mesec po tem, ko je bila realna potrošnja videti nekoliko večja od očitne potrošnje.
However, even after adjusting the costs of production and profitability for that year, the counter-trend still remains the same.
V skladu z grafikonom, ki ga je pritožnik predložil na zaslišanju decembra 2015, bi bila presežna zaloga absorbirana med marcem 2012 in septembrom 2013, v obdobju preiskave (od oktobra 2013 do septembra 2014) pa ne bi imela učinka.
The highest loss of the two cooperating Union producers (occurring during the IP) coincides with a decrease in the volume of imports from India, both in absolute terms and relative to production and consumption in the Union.
Poleg tega na podlagi splošnih informacij indijskega uvoza ni bilo mogoče ločiti od drugega uvoza.
In addition, the complainant argued that a year-on-year analysis (i.e. evolution of dumped imports versus deterioration of the performance on a yearly basis) was not accurate in a commodity market, and suggested that the analysis be based on trends between 2011 and the IP and proposed the following methodology.
Zato ni jasno, od kod naj bi izviralo domnevno množično kopičenje zalog:
First, the complainant calculated what it considered to be the real consumption of silico-manganese in the Union as a percentage of the steel production in the Union (assuming that a constant amount of silico-manganese is required to produce a tonne of steel), and stated that the real consumption remained relatively stable throughout the period January 2011 to April 2013.
vir ni mogel biti le uvoz iz Indije, temveč tudi uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav ali celo industrije Unije, kjer je bilo od leta 2011 opaziti znatno povečanje zalog (glej preglednico 9).
Second, the complainant calculated the apparent consumption of silico-manganese in the Union as domestic production plus imports minus exports for the same period, and stated that the apparent consumption increased significantly due to the increase of imports from India.
Poleg tega je ob upoštevanju razvoja trga za silicij-mangan od leta 2011 (manjšanje potrošnje skupaj z nižanjem cen, doba skladiščenja krajša od enega leta) videti, da ni prav dosti trgovske logike v domnevnem množičnem kopičenju zalog v letu 2011 in pred njim, ki so bile dane na trg Unije konec leta 2013 in v letu 2014 (v obdobju preiskave).
Third, the complainant considered that the difference between real consumption and apparent consumption was the stock-piling of Indian imports from 2011 to April 2013.
Zato je bila trditev, da bi morala biti razlaga uvoznih podatkov v obdobju preiskave drugačna zaradi množičnega kopičenja zalog indijskega uvoza, zavrnjena.
Finally, the complainant considered that the excess stock-piling was placed on the Union market as of April 2013 leading to oversupply with consequent downward pressure on prices, even if at the same time imports from India decreased.
Silicij-mangan z nizko vsebnostjo mangana (50 % ali manj)
The Commission calculated the Union consumption of silico-manganese as the sum of domestic sales plus imports.
Komisija je v dokumentu z informacijami in v ločenem zahtevku vsem znanim uvoznikom pozvala zainteresirane strani, naj predložijo informacije o uvozu silicij-mangana z nizko vsebnostjo mangana (50 % ali manj) kot delu obravnavanega izdelka, da bi ocenila obseg in povprečno ceno takega uvoza.
The complainant did not explain why this method cannot be considered accurate.
Dodatni namen je bil pojasniti tehnično in gospodarsko izvedljivost uporabe nizkokakovostnega silicij-mangana (kot takega ali po mešanju) ter njegov vpliv na trg Unije.
The Union consumption showed a decreasing trend over the period considered, in line with a global trend of lower demand for silico-manganese.
Komisija ni od uvoznikov prejela nobene pripombe, so pa povratne informacije poslale druge zainteresirane strani.
The Commission noted that both the sales of the two cooperating Union producers and imports from all third countries decreased over the period considered.
Eden od indijskih proizvajalcev je pripomnil, da je silicij-mangan z nizko vsebnostjo mangana izdelek slabše kakovosti, ki se zato prodaja po nižji ceni.
However, imports from all third countries were affected more heavily by the reduction in consumption, whereas the two cooperating Union producers managed to maintain their market share.
Vendar, če se njegova cena prilagodi, da se upošteva nižja vsebnost mangana, bi bila prilagojena cena popolnoma skladna s ceno standardnega silicij-mangana.
Also, among the imports from all third countries, Indian imports increased in 2012 and decreased subsequently whereas imports from other third countries decreased in 2012 and increased subsequently.
Ta zainteresirana stran je dodala, da je uvoz takega podstandardnega silicij-mangana v Unijo majhen in tako ne more povzročati škode industriji Unije.
The Commission considered that the complainant's claim of a massive stock-piling effect of Indian imports was not sufficiently substantiated.
Druga skupina indijskih proizvajalcev je trdila, da je nizkokakovostni silicij-mangan mogoče neposredno uporabiti v elektroobločnih pečeh ali zmešati s silicij-manganom višje kakovosti, da se dobi standardni izdelek, in da za to ni nujno potreben silicij-mangan z 72-odstotno vsebnostjo železa (običajno iz Ukrajine).
No statistical data were provided specific to the Indian imports of silico-manganese and its consumption in time.
Navedli so, da sama študija tehnične izvedljivosti, ki jo je predložil pritožnik, ni izključila tehnične izvedljivosti mešanja.
Thus it was not demonstrated that the pressure exerted on Union sales volume and prices during the investigation period was due to the effect of Indian imports in the two preceding years.
Priznali so, da je mešanje povezano z dodatnimi stroški, vendar ne na ravni, kot jo je opisal pritožnik.
The information provided by the complainant only led to the conclusion that the real consumption of silico-manganese was lower than the apparent consumption between March 2011 and March 2012 and that this building up of stocks would have been put on the market as of March 2012, the month after which real consumption seems to have been slightly higher than the apparent consumption.
Strinjali so se, da se ta vrsta silicij-mangana prodaja po nižji ceni ravno zaradi nizke vsebnosti mangana in bi bilo zato treba primerjavo cene s standardnim silicij-manganom opraviti po sorazmerni prilagoditvi, kar bi pokazalo podobne cene.
According to a graph provided by the complainant during the hearing of December 2015, an excess stock would have been absorbed between March 2012 and September 2013, and would not have had an effect during the investigation period (October 2013 until September 2014).
Pritožnik je trdil, da jeklarne v Uniji ne uporabljajo silicij-mangana, ki je nizke kakovosti, in da njihove stranke zardi razlogov kakovosti ne bi tvegale z mešanjem različnih kakovostnih stopenj silicij-mangana.
In addition, the general information did not allow isolating Indian imports from other imports.
Pritožnik je tudi trdil, da se je ta podstandardni izdelek pojavil začasno in jim ni povzročil škode.
Therefore, it is not clear what would have been the source of the alleged massive stock-piling:
Učinki dampinškega uvoza na cene
The source could have been the imports from India, but also imports from third countries or even the Union industry where substantial increases in inventories have been observed since 2011 (see Table 9).
Komisija je glede učinka dampinškega uvoza na cene ugotovila, da so se povprečna cena dampinškega izvoza silicij-mangana iz Indije in cene obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije v obravnavanem obdobju nižale.
Moreover, given the evolution of the market for silico-manganese since 2011 (declining consumption in conjunction with declining prices, the shelf life of less than one year), there seems to be little commercial rationale for an alleged massive stock-piling accumulated in 2011 and before, being released on the Union market at the end of 2013 and during 2014 (during the investigation period).
Vendar, kakor je navedeno zgoraj v uvodni izjavi 77 in naslednjih, ni bilo ugotovljenega skoraj nobenega nelojalnega nižanja cen.
Therefore, the claim that a massive stockpiling of Indian imports should change the interpretation of the import data during the investigation period was rejected.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
Silico-manganese with a low content of manganese (50 % or less)
Komisija je ugotovila, da se težak gospodarski položaj obeh sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije ni pojavil istočasno s povečanjem obsega dampinškega uvoza iz Indije.
In its information document, and in a separate request to all known importers, the Commission requested interested parties to provide information about imports of silico-manganese with a low content of manganese (50 % and below) as part of the product concerned, to assess the volume and average price of such imports.
Preiskava je ugotovila obstoj nasprotnih gibanj med povečanjem obsega dampinškega uvoza in škodo, ki sta jo utrpela sodelujoča proizvajalca Unije.
