The Commission officially advised the authorities of the PRC, the exporting producers in this country, the importers in the Union known to be concerned and the Union industry of the initiation of the investigation.
Komisija je o začetku preiskave uradno obvestila organe LRK, proizvajalce izvoznike v navedeni državi, uvoznike v Uniji, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter industrijo Unije.
Exemption forms were sent to the exporting producers in the PRC and to the known importers in the Union.
Proizvajalcem izvoznikom iz LRK in znanim uvoznikom v Uniji so bili poslani obrazci zahtevka za izvzetje.
All parties were informed that non-cooperation might lead to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation and to findings being based on facts available.
Vse strani so bile obveščene, da se lahko v primeru nesodelovanja uporabi člen 18 osnovne uredbe in posledično oblikujejo ugotovitve na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev.
One exporting producer in the PRC and its related importer in the Union submitted a reply to the exemption form to the Commission and were granted a hearing.
Eden od proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz LRK in uvoznik v Uniji, ki je z njim povezan, sta Komisiji predložila izpolnjen obrazec zahtevka za izvzetje, odobreno pa jima je bilo tudi zaslišanje.
Two importers submitted a reply to the exemption form to the Commission.
Izpolnjen obrazec zahtevka za izvzetje sta Komisiji predložila tudi dva uvoznika.
Only one of them imported minor quantities of molybdenum wire during the investigation period (see recital 15).
Le eden od njiju je v obdobju preiskave uvažal manjše količine žice iz molibdena (glej uvodno izjavo 15).
One trader made a submission and was granted a hearing.
Zahtevek je predložil eden od trgovcev, odobreno pa mu je bilo tudi zaslišanje.

Za obdobje poročanja od 1. januarja 2014 do 31. decembra 2014 so bili zbrani podrobnejši podatki za preučitev, ali je uvoz oslabil popravljalne učinke veljavnih ukrepov v smislu cen in/ali količin, ter za preučitev, ali obstaja damping.
Investigation period and reporting period
Splošni premisleki
Data were collected for the investigation period to investigate, inter alia, the alleged change in the pattern of trade following the imposition of measures, their extension first to Malaysia in 2012 (see recital 2) and second to imports of a slightly modified product in 2013 (see recital 3) and the existence of a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty.
ali se je vzorec trgovanja med LRK, Malezijo in Unijo spremenil
More detailed data were collected for the reporting period from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2014 in order to examine if imports were undermining the remedial effect of the measures in force in terms of prices and/or quantities and the existence of dumping.
ali je do te spremembe prišlo zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katere razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali niso gospodarsko upravičeni
RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
ali so obstajali dokazi o škodi ali o tem, da so bili popravljalni učinki dajatve oslabljeni v smislu cen in/ali količin izdelka v preiskavi
General considerations
ter ali so obstajali dokazi o dampingu v povezavi s predhodno določenimi normalnimi vrednostmi, po potrebi v skladu z določbami člena 2 osnovne uredbe.
In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the assessment of the existence of possible circumvention was made by analysing successively:
Zadevni izdelek in izdelek v preiskavi
whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between the PRC, Malaysia and the Union,
Izdelek, ki ga zadeva morebitno izogibanje, je izdelek, za katerega veljajo ukrepi iz uvodne izjave 1 zgoraj.
if this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty,
Uvršča se pod oznako KN ex81029600.
if there was evidence of injury or that remedial effects of the duty were being undermined in terms of the prices and/or quantities of the product under investigation,
Kot je bilo ugotovljeno v prvotni preiskavi, se zadevni izdelek uporablja predvsem v avtomobilskem sektorju za prekrivanje delov motorja, ki so izpostavljeni močni obrabi, kot so batni obročki, sinhronski obroči ali elementi za prenos moči, s kovino s toplotnim pršenjem, da se poveča njihova odpornosti proti obrabi.
and whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal values previously established, if necessary in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the basic Regulation.
Izdelek v preiskavi je izdelek, opredeljen v členu 1 uredbe o začetku preiskave, in sicer je to i) žica iz molibdena, ki vsebuje najmanj 99,95 mas. % molibdena, ima prečni prerez med 4,0 mm in 11,0 mm ter se trenutno uvršča pod oznako KN ex81029600 (oznaka TARIC 8102960020), in ii) žica iz molibdena, ki vsebuje 97 mas. % molibdena ali več, vendar ne več kot 99,95 mas. %, ima prečni prerez med 4,0 mm in 11,0 mm ter se trenutno uvršča pod oznako KN ex81029600 (oznaka TARIC 8102960040).
Product concerned and product under investigation
Izdelek v preiskavi ima poreklo v LRK in je znan tudi kot žica iz molibdena, ki vsebuje najmanj 97 mas. % molibdena, s prečnim prerezom med 4,0 mm in 11,0 mm.
The product concerned by the possible circumvention is the product subject to the measures in force, as described above in recital 1.
Stopnja sodelovanja
It falls under CN code ex81029600.
Javila sta se samo eden od kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, tj. družba Luoyang Hi-tech Metals Co.
As established in the original investigation, the product concerned is mainly used in the automotive sector for metal coating by thermal spraying of motor parts that are subject to heavy wear, such as piston rings, synchroniser rings or transmission components, to increase their abrasion resistance.
Ltd („LHTM“), in z njim povezani uvoznik Unije Chemiemetall („CM“), ki sta predložila zahtevek za izvzetje iz kakršne koli morebitne razširitve veljavnih ukrepov.
The product under investigation is the product defined in Article 1 of the initiating Regulation, namely: (i) molybdenum wire, containing by weight at least 99,95 % of molybdenum, of which the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 4,0 mm but does not exceed 11,0 mm and currently falling within CN code ex81029600 (TARIC code 8102960020); and (ii) molybdenum wire, containing by weight 97 % or more but less than 99,95 % of molybdenum of which the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 4,0 mm but does not exceed 11,0 mm and currently falling within CN code ex81029600 (TARIC code 8102960040).
Tako družba LHTM kot tudi družba CM sta v celoti sodelovali v preiskavi.
The product under investigation originates in the PRC and it is also referred to as molybdenum wire, containing by weight at least 97 % of molybdenum, of which the maximum cross-sectional dimension exceeds 4,0 mm but does not exceed 11,0 mm.
V obdobju poročanja je količina njunega uvoza predstavljala približno 55 % celotnega kitajskega uvoza v Unijo.
Degree of cooperation
Približno 40 % celotnega kitajskega uvoza v Unijo je mogoče pripisati nesodelujočim proizvajalcem.
Only one Chinese exporting producer, the company Luoyang Hi-tech Metals Co.
Zlasti niso sodelovali kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, ki so sodelovali v drugi preiskavi proti izogibanju, vendar niso bili izvzeti iz veljavnih ukrepov.
Ltd (‘LHTM’) and its related Union importer Chemiemetall (‘CM’) came forward and requested exemption from any possible extension of the measures in force.
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja
Both LHTM and CM fully cooperated with the investigation.
Preglednica v nadaljevanju vsebuje podatke iz druge preiskave proti izogibanju, podatke iz zahtevka, podatke iz podatkovne zbirke Comext in podatke iz podatkovne zbirke, ustvarjene v skladu s členom 14(6) osnovne uredbe, ter informacije, pridobljene od družbe LHTM.
Their volume of imports represented around 55 % of the total Chinese imports in the Union during the reporting period.
Ker je v preiskavi sodeloval samo eden od proizvajalcev izvoznikov, je bilo treba vse številke, povezane z občutljivimi podatki, indeksirati ali navesti v razponu zaradi zaupnosti podatkov.
Around 40 % of the total Chinese imports in the Union come from non-cooperating producers.
V sporočeni skupni količini žic iz molibdena za pršenje je zajeto naslednje:
In particular, Chinese exporting producers which cooperated in the second anti-circumvention investigation but which were not exempted from the measures in force, did not cooperate.

Product concerned subject to measures in force
Od začetka druge preiskave proti izogibanju in z njo povezane registracije uvoza, uvedene z decembrom 2012 [7], se je uvoz izdelka, pri katerem je bilo ugotovljeno izogibanje, v letu 2013 in v obdobju poročanja skorajda ustavil.
Circumventing imports identified in the second anti-circumvention investigation
Hkrati se je uvoz izdelka v preiskavi, ki je bil v predhodnih letih zanemarljiv ali ga sploh ni bilo, leta 2013 in v obdobju poročanja znatno povečal.
under investigation (PUI)
Oktobra 2013, torej v obdobju preiskave, so italijanski carinski organi izdali zavezujoče tarifne informacije za razvrščanje žic iz molibdena s premerom 4,1 mm in 4,2 mm, ki vsebujejo majhen delež lantana (med 0,22 % in 0,28 %) in več kot 97 %, vendar manj kot 99,95 % molibdena.
of which PUI of non-cooperating exporting producers from the PRC
Te zavezujoče tarifne informacije potrjujejo prisotnost izdelka v preiskavi, tj. različic žice iz molibdena večje in manjše čistosti s premerom med 4,0 mm in 11,0 mm.
In line with the findings of the second anti-circumvention investigation, the imports of the product concerned almost ceased after the imposition of provisional measures in the original investigation [6] as of 2010.
Uvoz izdelka v preiskavi je predstavljal skoraj celoten uvoz žice iz molibdena za pršenje iz LRK v letu 2013 (približno 99 %) in v obdobju poročanja (približno 95 %).
They almost disappeared in 2011, 2012 and 2013 and represented only around 5 % of total imports in the reporting period, 2014.
Od leta 2013 dalje opazna prisotnost prej neobstoječega ali zanemarljivega uvoza izdelka v preiskavi, ki je očitno nadomestil uvoz izdelka, pri katerem je bilo ugotovljeno izogibanje v drugi preiskavi proti izogibanju, ter sočasna ustavitev uvoza zadevnega izdelka v obdobju preiskave predstavljata bistveno spremembo vzorca trgovanja, kot je določeno v členu 13(1) osnovne uredbe.
They were replaced by the circumventing imports identified in the second anti-circumvention investigation during the years 2010 to 2012.
Obstoj praks izogibanja
As from the initiation of the second anti-circumvention investigation and related registration of imports as of December 2012 [7] these circumventing imports almost ceased in 2013 and in the reporting period.
Analizirane so bile dejavnosti sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika in z njim povezanega uvoznika.
At the same time, imports of the product under investigation, which were non-existing or insignificant in the preceding years, increased considerably in 2013 and in the reporting period.
Sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik ne izvaža zadevnega izdelka, temveč žico iz molibdena, ki vsebuje najmanj 99,95 mas. % molibdena, s prečnim prerezom (premerom) med 4,0 mm in 11,0 mm.
In October 2013, during the investigation period, the Italian customs authorities issued binding tariffs information (BTI) to classify molybdenum wire with diameter of 4,1 mm and 4,2 mm containing a small addition of lanthanum (between 0,22 % and 0,28 %) and more than 97 % but less than 99,95 % of molybdenum.
Ta izvoz se nato pošlje povezanemu uvozniku v Nemčiji.
Subsequently, in January 2014 the German customs authorities issued BTI to classify molybdenum wires of more than 99,95 % content of molybdenum of a diameter of around 4,1 mm.
Izvoz tega izdelka trenutno ni predmet veljavnih protidampinških dajatev.
These BTI confirm that the product under investigation, variations of purer and less pure molybdenum wire with diameter of between 4,0 mm and 11,0 mm, came into existence.
Nato povezani uvoznik uvoženo žico iz molibdena ponovno vleče, tako da se premer žice zmanjša na manj kot 4,0 mm, s čimer jo pravzaprav spremeni natanko v zadevni izdelek, ki je predmet veljavnih ukrepov.
The imports of the product under investigation represented the quasi totality of the imports of molybdenum wire for spraying from the PRC in 2013 (around 99 %) and in the reporting period (around 95 %).
Povezani uvoznik izdelek proda končnim strankam v Uniji, zlasti avtomobilski industriji.
The strong appearance as of 2013 of previously non-existing or insignificant imports of the product under investigation that clearly replaced circumventing imports subject to the second anti-circumvention investigation, as well as the parallel disappearance of imports of the product concerned during the investigation period, constitutes a significant change in the pattern of trade, as required by Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation.
Povezani uvoznik žico ponovno vleče z orodjem, ki ga je kupil od sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika.
Existence of circumvention practices
Pravzaprav je preiskava pokazala, da je bil postopek ponovnega vlečenja žice preprosto prenesen iz LRK v Nemčijo.
The activities of the cooperating exporting producer and its related importer were analysed.
Povezani uvoznik je ponovno vlečenje izdelka začel opravljati konec leta 2012/v začetku leta 2013, torej takrat, ko se je pojavil uvoz izdelka v preiskavi (glej uvodne izjave 24 do 26 zgoraj).
The cooperating exporting producer does not export the product concerned but molybdenum wire with content of molybdenum by weight at least 99,95 % and a cross-sectional dimension (diameter) exceeding 4,0 mm but not exceeding 11,0 mm.
Tržna raziskava, ki je privedla do naložb v takšen postopek, je bila opravljena na zahtevo lastnika skupine, kateri pripadata sodelujoči proizvajalec izvoznik in z njim povezani uvoznik, in sicer leta 2010 po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov iz prvotne preiskave.
These exports are shipped to its related importer in Germany.
V preiskavi ni bila ugotovljena nobena razlika v postopku proizvodnje izdelka v preiskavi in zadevnega izdelka, razen dejstva, da se zadnji korak proizvodnje, tj. ponovno vlečenje žice za zmanjšanje premera na manj kot 4,0 mm, pri zadevnem izdelku opravi v LRK, pri izdelku v preiskavi pa v Nemčiji.
These exports are not currently subject to the anti-dumping duties in force.
Preiskava je prav tako pokazala, da uporabniki v Uniji izdelka kot takega v preiskavi ne bi mogli uporabljati za prekrivanje s pršenjem, saj je premer izdelka prevelik, da bi se navedeni izdelek prilegal v obstoječe orodje za pršenje.
Subsequently, the related importer redraws the imported molybdenum wire to a diameter below 4,0 mm and this operation actually transforms it exactly in the product concerned that is subject to measures in force.
Uporabi se lahko šele po ponovnem vlečenju za zmanjšanje premera, torej po preoblikovanju v zadevni izdelek, ki se tako prilega v orodje za pršenje in se lahko uporablja za svoj običajni namen, tj. prekrivanje s kovino s pršenjem (glej uvodno izjavo 18) zgoraj).
The related importer sells to final Union customers, mainly in the automotive industry.
Poleg tega so stroški proizvodnje zadevnega izdelka in izdelka v preiskavi precej podobni.
The redrawing step is made by the related importer using equipment purchased from the cooperating exporting producer.
Vendar pa je postopek ponovnega vlečenja (več kot dvakrat) dražji, kadar se opravlja v Nemčiji namesto v LRK.
In fact, the investigation revealed that the operation of redrawing was simply transferred from the PRC to Germany.
Po drugi strani pa stroški postopka ponovnega vlečenja v Nemčiji znašajo približno 15–20 % veljavnih ukrepov.
The related importer started to perform the redrawing in the end of 2012/early 2013, notably at the time when the imports of the product under investigation appeared (see recitals 24 to 26 above.
Zato je stroškovno ugodneje, da se postopek ponovnega vlečenja opravi v Nemčiji, kot da se plačajo dajatve.
The market study which led to invest in this kind of operation was performed at the request of the owner of the group to which the cooperating exporting producer and its related importer belong, in 2010, after the provisional measures in the original investigation were imposed.
Glede na to, da je končni izdelek enak, se ta praksa šteje kot izogibanje dajatvi.
The investigation did not find any difference in the production process of the product under investigation and the product concerned, other than the fact that the last step of production which consists in redrawing the wire to a diameter below 4,0 mm is made in the PRC for the product concerned and in Germany for the product under investigation.
Med skupnim zaslišanjem sta družbi LHTM in CM v glavnem trdili, da je trenutna dejavnost uvažanja izdelka v preiskavi eden od ključnih korakov njunega poslovnega modela, ki sta ga razvili, da bi žico iz molibdena lahko dobavljali po konkurenčnih cenah.
The investigation also showed that the product under investigation could not be used as such for spray coating by the Union users because the diameter is too large to fit with the existing spraying equipment.
Družbi sta prav tako omenili, da je bil naložbeni načrt za povečanje proizvodne zmogljivosti preložen, saj je odvisen od izida te preiskave, ki bi lahko domnevno resno vplivala na njun poslovni model.
It can be used only after redrawing to lower diameters, namely after transforming it into the product concerned, so that it fits with spraying equipment and that it can be used for its usual purpose, i.e. spraying for metal coating (see recital 18 above).
V zvezi z gospodarsko upravičenostjo uvoza izdelka v preiskavi in poznejšega preoblikovanja v zadevni izdelek s ponovnim vlečenjem, pri čemer je posledica izogibanje ukrepom, sta proizvajalec izvoznik in z njim povezani uvoznik trdila, da postopek ponovnega vlečenja omogoča nastanek novih delovnih mest v Uniji, da bodo nizkocenovni izdelki pripomogli k večji učinkovitosti industrije na koncu proizvodne verige in ohranjanju dejavnosti v Uniji ter da ima družba Plansee, proizvajalec Unije, prevelik vpliv na trgu Unije ter velik tržni delež, postopek ponovnega vlečenja pa bi lahko pripomogel k zmanjšanju prevladujočega položaja družbe Plansee.
Furthermore, the cost of production of the product concerned and of the product under investigation is rather similar.
Nobeden od teh razlogov ne utemeljuje uvoza izdelka v preiskavi ter poznejšega preoblikovanja v zadevni izdelek s ponovnim vlečenjem za druge namene, razen za namene izogibanja veljavni protidampinški dajatvi.
However, the redrawing step is more expensive (more than double) when performed in Germany instead of in the PRC.
Kar zadeva zaposlovanje, je preiskava pokazala, da je postopek vlečenja zadnji korak v postopku proizvodnje in je v osnovi avtomatiziran.
On the other hand, the costs of the operation of redrawing in Germany amount to roughly 15-20 % of the measures in force.
Delavci so potrebni za zamenjavo svežnjev žice, nadzor postopka ponovnega vlečenja in nadzor navijanja žice.
Therefore, it is more economical to redraw in Germany than to pay the duty.
Količina dela je zato zelo omejena.
Given that the end product is the same, the practice is considered as avoiding the duty.
Število delovnih mest, ustvarjenih v Uniji za postopek ponovnega vlečenja, je v vsakem primeru prenizko, da bi ustrezno odpravilo pomisleke glede pomanjkanja delovnih mest na trgu Unije.
During the joint hearing of LHTM and CM, they mainly claimed that the current activity of importing the product under investigation was an essential step of their business model developed in order to be able to supply molybdenum wire at a competitive price.
Po drugi strani pa tudi ob predpostavki, da so bila s prenosom postopka ponovnega vlečenja v Unijo načrtno ustvarjena delovna mesta, teh ni mogoče gospodarsko upravičiti, saj so bila ustvarjena na račun izogibanja veljavnim ukrepom.
It was also mentioned that an investment plan to increase the production capacity was on hold depending on the outcome of the present investigation that allegedly could have a severe impact on their business model.
Ta trditev se zato zavrne.
With regard to the economic justification of importing the product under investigation and subsequently redrawing it into the product concerned, thus avoiding the measures in force, the exporting producer and the related importer argued that the redrawing operation allowed creating new jobs in the Union; that low costs products would help the downstream industry to be more efficient and to maintain activity in the Union; that Plansee, the Union producer, is too powerful on the Union market with a large market share and that the redrawing operation could help reducing Plansee's dominant position.
V zvezi s trditvijo o interesu uporabnikov, da uporabljajo cenejšo žico, preoblikovano s ponovnim vlečenjem v Uniji, in trditvijo o konkurenci na trgu Unije, je treba opozoriti, da se sedanja preiskava izvaja v skladu s členom 13 osnovne uredbe.
None of these arguments justifies the importing of the product under investigation and its subsequent redrawing into the product concerned for reasons other than avoidance of the anti-dumping duty in force.
Namen preiskave proti izogibanju je zagotoviti ustrezno zaščito veljavnih ukrepov, ki so bili uvedeni po ustreznih premislekih iz prvotne preiskave, ki so upoštevali različne interese, vključno z interesi uvoznikov in uporabnikov.
As far as employment is concerned, the investigation showed that the redrawing step is the last stage of the production process and is essentially automated.
Zato ponovno preiskovanje teh vidikov ne spada v obseg te preiskave proti izogibanju.
Workers are required to change the wire coil, to supervise the redrawing process and the spooling of the wire.
Po drugi strani pa te trditve niso zadostni vzrok za navedeno prakso in je ne bi upravičile z gospodarskega vidika.
The workload is therefore very limited.
Če je žica iz molibdena, ki se prodaja uporabnikom, cenejša po ponovnem vlečenju v Nemčiji, je to zato, ker se za uvoz izdelka v preiskavi ne obračunava protidampinška dajatev (glej uvodno izjavo 36 zgoraj).
The number of jobs created in the Union for the redrawing operation is in any event too low in order to appropriately address concerns about the lack of jobs in the Union market.
Te trditve se zato zavrnejo.
