In addition, the total imports from China as reported by Eurostat decreased significantly during the period considered.
Zlasti prodaja se ne bi toliko zmanjšala, zmogljivost bi bila bolje izkoriščena, dobičkonosnost pa bi bila bolj vzdržna.
The Chinese total imports lost market share by more than 2 percentage points, which rules them out as the cause of injury.
Zato je bilo ugotovljeno, da zmanjšanje potrošnje ne prekine vzročne zveze med subvencioniranim uvozom in znatno škodo.
Export performance of the Union industry
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da drugi opredeljeni dejavniki, kot so uvoz iz tretjih držav, izvoz industrije Unije in konkurenca nadomestnih izdelkov, ne prekinejo navedene vzročne zveze, tudi če se upošteva njihov morebitni skupni učinek.
The volume of exports of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da je znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica subvencioniranega uvoza iz Indije in da drugi posamično ali skupaj upoštevani dejavniki niso prekinili vzročne zveze.

Interes industrije Unije
Export Volume Index
Proizvodni obrati industrije Unije so v Franciji, Nemčiji, Španiji in Avstriji.
Export Price (EUR/t)
Industrija Unije je neposredno zaposlovala več kot 2400 oseb v proizvodnji in prodaji zadevnega izdelka.
1050 - 1100
V preiskavi sta sodelovala dva od treh proizvajalcev.
950 - 1000
Nesodelujoči proizvajalec ni nasprotoval začetku preiskave.
Average Export Price Index
Kot je bilo prikazano, sta sodelujoči družbi utrpeli znatno škodo, saj je subvencionirani uvoz negativno vplival nanju.
The sales of the Union industry outside of the Union increased considerably by 30 % over the period considered, while the average selling price remained relatively stable.
Pričakuje se, da bo uvedba izravnalnih dajatev ponovno vzpostavila poštene tržne pogoje na trgu Unije ter proizvajalcem Unije omogočila, da povečajo svojo prodajo in izboljšajo slabo izkoriščenost zmogljivosti.
Therefore, the sales outside of the Union are actually a factor alleviating the injury.
Tako bi se dobičkonosnost industrije Unije izboljšala in približala ravnem, ki se štejejo kot potrebne za to kapitalsko intenzivno industrijo, preprečila pa bi se tudi izguba delovnih mest.
Absent an increase of sales outside of the Union, the Union industry would be in an even more injurious situation.
Zelo verjetno je, da se bo brez ukrepov gospodarski položaj industrije Unije še poslabšal.
Jindal pointed out that the export sales prices of the Union Industry were below the Union sales prices, and could therefore not alleviate the injury.
Zato se sklene, da bi bila uvedba izravnalnih dajatev v interesu industrije Unije.
The increased sales outside of the Union enabled the Union industry to have a higher level of production, maintain the level of employment and increase the capacity utilisation, which means a better absorption of fixed costs.
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov, distributerjev, uporabnikov in drugih zainteresiranih strani
The fact that the average exports unit prices were slightly lower (within a 5 % range) than the Union sales prices can be due to many different factors, such as the sales of less sophisticated product types, larger diameters, larger volumes of sales transactions, etc. and therefore the prices outside of the Union could be lower than the cost of sales in the EU.
Javilo pa se je veliko distributerjev, ki so izrazili svoje mnenje.
The exporting producers also claimed that the injury was self-inflicted because the complainant focused increasingly on Chinese manufacturing activity in the PRC and a large part of their sales to countries other than the EU are Chinese products, which causes, inter alia, low capacity utilisation.
Oba proizvajalca izvoznika sta trdila, da uvedba izravnalnih ukrepov proti Indiji glede na prevladujoči položaj pritožnika na trgu Unije ni v interesu Unije, pri čemer se upošteva tudi, da pritožnik proizvaja zadevni izdelek na Kitajskem in bi ga v primeru uvedbe ukrepov proti Indiji lahko brez težav uvažal v Unijo, s čimer bi še utrdil svoj prevladujoči položaj.
The Commission did not accept this argument.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je bil v obdobju preiskave obseg uvoza iz kitajskih obratov, povezanih s pritožnikom, v Unijo neznaten.
As noted above, the Union industry's export sales increased considerably by 30 %, which prevented the fall in production and a deterioration of several other injury indicators.
Prav tako nič ne kaže na to, da bi pritožnik v primeru uvedbe ukrepov v prihodnosti zadevne kitajske proizvodne obrate uporabil za nadomestitev indijskega uvoza.
Competition from substitute products
Kot je navedeno v uredbi o uvedbi začasnih protidampinških dajatev, je Komisija poslala zahtevo za dodatne informacije, da bi podrobneje analizirala vpliv ukrepov na uporabnike Unije.
Interested parties claimed that the injury was caused by fierce competition from substitute products, in particular plastic pipes (polyethylene (PE), polyvinyl chloride (PVC) & polypropylene (PP)).
Prejela je približno 50 odgovorov, večinoma od distributerjev zadevnega izdelka, gradbenih podjetij in več družb za oskrbo z vodo iz EU, katerih identiteta je navedena v odprti dokumentaciji.
Plastic pipes in smaller diameters are initially much cheaper per unit.
Skoraj vsi uporabniki, ki so odgovorili na zahtevo po dodatnih informacijah, so bili zaskrbljeni zaradi zelo velikega tržnega deleža pritožnika in zaradi tega, da bodo njegovi glavni konkurenti, tj. indijske družbe, po uvedbi dajatev morda prisiljeni izstopiti s trga Unije, s čimer bi pritožnik postal prevladujoči akter.
However, taking into account the maintenance cost and the product life, the product concerned have cost advantages in the long term.
Nekateri distributerji so tudi trdili, da skupina SG PAM ni hotela trgovati z njimi ali jim je ponudila manj ugodne pogoje, ker so začeli sodelovati s proizvajalcema izvoznikoma.
Plastic pipes exert some competitive pressure on the product concerned, especially for smaller diameters.
Čeprav drži, da pravila EU o konkurenci uvajajo strožja merila ravnanja za družbo, ki ima velik tržni delež, končno odločitev o tem, ali gre za prevladujoči položaj in ali se ta položaj zlorablja, sprejmejo organi, pristojni za konkurenco.
However, ductile pipes did not lose market shares to plastic pipes during the period considered, and in some instances, ductile pipes even managed to regain some market share from plastic pipes during the period considered.
Slednji najprej preučijo upoštevni proizvodni in geografski trg.
Therefore, the competition from plastic substitutes was unlikely to be the cause of the material injury in the period considered.
V zadevi v zvezi s cevmi HDPE in MDPE za odplake na primer ni bilo izključeno, da so konkurirale s cevmi iz nodularnega litega železa in jeklenimi cevmi, čeprav je opredelitev proizvodnega trga ostala odprta [78].
Other Factors
Ker v obravnavanem primeru Komisija ni prejela nobene pritožbe v zvezi s konkurenco, ni mogla določiti upoštevnega proizvodnega in geografskega trga.
The exporting producers and Tata claimed that the injury is due to structural overcapacity.
Sporazumi o izključni distribuciji, ki ponujajo ugodnejše pogoje ali celo strožje vertikalne omejitve pri distribuciji blaga, sami po sebi niso nezakoniti [79], pri čemer je organ, pristojen za konkurenco, tisti, ki oceni, ali so take omejitve protikonkurenčne ali celo pomenijo zlorabo.
However, the fact that the Union industry had a low capacity utilisation rate during the period considered does not necessarily mean that it suffers from structural overcapacity and/or inefficiencies of such magnitude that it would justify a downwards adjustment of the non-injurious price.
Kar zadeva cenovne ponudbe, ki naj bi kazale zvišanja cen s strani skupine SG PAM, jih je Komisija težko primerjala brez kakršne koli bolj poglobljene preiskave o natančnih ponudbah in vključenih okoliščinah.
It is recalled that despite a low capacity utilisation in 2011, that was even lower than the rate established during the investigation period, the Union industry had a higher profitability.
Poleg trga je Komisija prejela samo en dokaz o domnevnih zvišanjih cen, ki sam po sebi ne more dokazati, da so bila taka zvišanja široko razširjena.
This claim was therefore rejected.
Komisija v protisubvencijskem postopku preuči pomisleke glede konkurence, da ugotovi, ali bi bila uvedba izravnalnih ukrepov na splošno nedvomno v nasprotju z interesom Unije.
Jindal claimed that the Union industry's SG&A doubled over the period considered and this was a factor causing injury that broke the causal link.
Taka analiza ne more vključevati ocene konkurence v strogem pravnem smislu, ki jo lahko opravi samo organ, pristojen za konkurenco.
However, as it was found that that SG&A costs had only increased slightly during the period considered this argument was rejected.
V nobenem primeru niso bili predloženi trdni dokazi, ki bi nakazovali, da bi pritožnik sodeloval pri protikonkurenčnem ravnanju, če bi bili uvedeni izravnalni ukrepi, razen dejstva, da že ima močan položaj na trgu.
The exporting producers and Tata claimed that an increase in investments is a clear indication of an improved situation and that growing Indian imports do not cause the injury.
Organ, pristojen za konkurenco, ni predložil nobenega sklepa glede ugotovljenega sodelovanja pritožnika pri protikonkurenčnem ravnanju v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom.
First of all, even the increased volume of investments, EUR 22 million-24 million, was relatively low in relation to the total Union industry sales, exceeding EUR 400 million.
Prav tako pritožnik ni predložil nobene sodbe sodišča glede ugotovljenega prirejanja razpisov.
In addition, there was a breakdown of a large liquid iron mixer for one Union producer.
Opozoriti je treba, da je namen uvedbe izravnalnih ukrepov znova vzpostaviti enake konkurenčne pogoje, da si proizvajalci Unije in proizvajalci iz tretjih držav enakopravno konkurirajo ter proizvajalcev izvoznikov ne izrivajo s trga.
The replacement of the mixer required a high level of expenditure in the fixed assets in the IP.
Tako bi bile dajatve v skladu s pravili Unije določene na ravni, ki bi indijskim izvoznikom še vedno omogočala, da še naprej konkurirajo proizvajalcem Unije, vendar po poštenih cenah.
It must be noted that a set of calculations was made to isolate the impact of the mixer breakdown on profitability and this claim is therefore rejected.
Poleg tega je v tretjih državah (Kitajska, Turčija, Rusija in Švica) več proizvajalcev, ki že prodajajo na trg Unije.
Jindal also claimed that an increased spread between the unit selling price and the cost of production in the IP indicates a lack of causality between the subsidised imports and the injury.
Njihov obseg prodaje je bil v obravnavanem obdobju majhen in se je zmanjševal.
As explained above in recital 319, the unit selling price and the cost of production per unit are not established on the same basis and there is hence not a direct correlation between these two indicators.
Vendar je videti, da je bil eden od razlogov za tako zmanjšanje prodaje drugih uvoznikov agresivna konkurenca indijskih proizvajalcev.
In any event, the price increase over the cost of production in the IP was not sufficient to restore the target profitability of the Union Industry.
Indijske subvencionirane cene so bile precej nižje od cen vseh drugih glavnih držav uvoznic (razen Rusije).
The same exporting producer considered that given that the import prices were at the similar level in 2011 and in the IP (based on Comext data) it may be concluded that there is a coincidence in time between the undercutting/substantially lower prices and a good performance of the Union industry in 2011.
Uporabniki so potrdili, da če bi industrija Unije enostransko zvišala cene, bi se lahko uvoz iz drugih držav srednjeročno povečal, potem ko bi taki izvozniki iz tretjih držav prejeli dodatna potrdila, ki jih zahtevajo države članice.
This hypothesis is based on premises that the Commission does not share.
Potrdili so tudi, da švicarska družba, čeprav je prisotna na trgu Unije, proizvaja bolj izpopolnjene cevi z visoko dodano vrednostjo, ki jih ni mogoče zlahka nadomestiti z indijskimi izdelki.
The situation of the Union industry was not healthy in 2011 as its profitability was also below the target profit of 5 %.

Conclusion on causation
Švica
A causal link was established between the injury suffered by the Union producers and the subsidised imports from the country concerned.
Rusija
There was a coincidence in time between the undercutting of the Union industry's prices by the subsidised imports and the Union's industry decrease in EU sales and the EU market share.
Turčija
The subsidised imports from India undercut the Union industry prices by 30,9 % and 31,7 % during the investigation period.
Sklep o interesu Unije
This resulted in a very low profitability of the EU industry.
Komisija je z zadovoljstvom ugotovila, da mora imeti pri tehtanju in usklajevanju interesov zaščita industrije Unije pred škodljivim subvencioniranjem prednost pred interesi uporabnikov, da se preprečijo morebitni negativni vplivi na konkurenco na trgu Unije.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the subsidised imports.
Čeprav obstaja zaskrbljenost, da bi izravnalne dajatve okrepile že tako močan položaj vodilnega proizvajalca v Uniji, številni olajševalni dejavniki, kot je stalna konkurenca indijskih in drugih izvoznikov ter nadomestnih izdelkov, zagotavljajo, da se ohranja zadosten konkurenčni pritisk na industrijo Unije, da se preprečijo morebitni negativni vplivi na konkurenco na trgu Unije.
The economic crisis and decrease in demand contributed to the injury at the beginning of the period considered.
Komisija je pripravljena spremljati vpliv ukrepov na konkurenco na trgu Unije.
However, in the absence of significant undercutting of the Union industry by subsidised imports, the situation of the Union industry would not have been affected to such an extent.
DOKONČNI IZRAVNALNI UKREPI
In particular, the sales would not fall so much, the capacity utilisation would be higher and the profitability would be more sustainable.
Na podlagi sklepov Komisije o subvencioniranju, škodi, vzročni zvezi in interesu Unije ter v skladu s členom 15(1) osnovne uredbe bi bilo treba uvesti dokončno izravnalno dajatev na uvoz cevi iz nodularnega litega železa (imenovanega tudi sferoidno grafitno lito železo) s poreklom iz Indije.
Therefore, the fall in consumption was found not to break the casual link between the subsidised imports and the material injury.
Stopnja odprave škode
The other identified factors such as imports from third countries, export performance of the Union industry and the competition from substitute products were not found to break the causal link established above, even considering their possible combined effect.
Za določitev ravni teh ukrepov so bile upoštevane ugotovljene subvencijske stopnje in znesek dajatve, potreben za odpravo škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the subsidised imports from India and that the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not break the causal link.
Pri izračunu zneska dajatve, potrebnega za odpravo učinkov škodljivega subvencioniranja, se je upoštevalo, da bi moral vsak morebiten ukrep omogočiti industriji Unije, da pokrije svoje proizvodne stroške in ustvari dobiček pred obdavčitvijo, ki bi ga tovrstna industrija v tem sektorju od prodaje podobnega izdelka v Uniji lahko ustvarila v običajnih konkurenčnih razmerah, tj. brez subvencioniranega uvoza.
The injury consisted mainly in the fall in the Union sales, the loss of market share by the Union industry, low capacity utilisation rate and low profitability.
Zato je bila stopnja odprave škode izračunana na podlagi primerjave tehtane povprečne cene subvencioniranega uvoza, kakor je bila določena za izračun nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen iz uvodne izjave 301, in neškodljive cene industrije Unije za podobni izdelek.
UNION INTEREST
Neškodljiva cena je bila določena tako, da se je proizvodnim stroškom prištela razumna stopnja dobička.
In accordance with Article 31 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the imposition of countervailing measures would be against the Union interest.
Ciljna stopnja dobička je bila določena na 5 %, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 327.
It gave special consideration to the need to eliminate the trade distorting effects of injurious subsidisation and to restore effective competition.
Vse razlike, ki so bile posledica te primerjave, so bile nato izražene v deležu povprečne celotne uvozne cene CIF.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, distributors and final users, such as water, sewerage and irrigation utilities.
Po razkritju je družba Jindal trdila, da bi bilo treba za določitev neškodljive cene za industrijo Unije namesto prištetja PSA-stroškov in dobička proizvodnim stroškom prilagoditi neškodljivo ceno navzdol zaradi strukturne presežne zmogljivosti in neučinkovitosti industrije Unije.
Interest of the Union industry
Komisija je menila, da ni bilo strukturna presežna zmogljivost, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 351, zato je to trditev zavrnila.
The Union industry's production plants are located in France, Germany, Spain and Austria.
Po razkritju sta oba proizvajalca izvoznika trdila, da je bila metodologija, uporabljena za izračun stopnje odprave škode, pomanjkljiva, saj primerjava s prodajnimi cenami Unije ne temelji na dejanski ceni, ki se je zaračunavala prvi neodvisni stranki v Uniji, ampak na konstruirani izvozni ceni, ki je bila umetno nizka.
The Union industry employed directly more than 2400 employees in the production and sales of the product concerned.
Stopnje škode so zato umetno visoke.
Two out of three producers cooperated with the investigation.
Z izračunom stopnje škode se ugotovi, ali bi uporaba stopnje dajatve, ki bi bila nižja od tiste, določene na podlagi subvencijske stopnje, za izvozno ceno subvencioniranega uvoza zadostovala za odpravo škode, ki jo povzroči subvencionirani uvoz.
The non-cooperating producer did not oppose the initiation of the investigation.
Ta ocena temelji na izvozni ceni na ravni meja Unije, tj. ravni, ki se šteje za primerljivo s ceno franko tovarna industrije Unije.
As demonstrated above, the two cooperating companies experienced material injury and were negatively affected by the subsidised imports.
V primeru izvoza prek povezanih uvoznikov je izvozna cena po analogiji s pristopom, uporabljenim pri izračunih stopnje dampinga, konstruirana na podlagi cene pri nadaljnji prodaji prvi neodvisni stranki.
It is expected that the imposition of countervailing duties will restore fair trade conditions on the Union market and will enable the Union producers to increase their sales and increase the low capacity utilisation rate.
Sicer bi obstajala dva različna rezultata pri ocenjevanju iste stopnje škode v okviru obeh instrumentov.
This would result in an improvement of the Union industry's profitability towards levels considered necessary for this capital intensive industry and prevent the loss of employment.
Zato je Komisija menila, da uporabljena metodologija zagotavlja natančno osnovo za primerjavo cen in s tem določitev stopnje odprave škode.
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration of the Union industry's economic situation appears very likely.
Ta trditev se zato zavrne, metodologija za določitev stopnje odprave škode pa se potrdi.
It is therefore concluded that the imposition of countervailing duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Dokončni ukrepi
Interest of unrelated importers, distributors, users and other interested parties
Glede na zgornje ugotovitve bi bilo treba dokončno izravnalno dajatev uvesti na ravni, ki omogoča odpravo škode, povzročene s subvencioniranim uvozom, ne da bi se presegla ugotovljena subvencijska stopnja.
Many distributors came forward and expressed their views.
Po razkritju je industrija Unije zahtevala uvedbo ukrepov v obliki posebnih dajatev in ne dajatev ad valorem.
Both exporting producers claimed that it would not be in the Union interest to impose countervailing measures against India in view of the complainant's dominant position on the Union market, taking into account also that the complainant has production of the product concerned in China, which it could easily import to the Union should measures against India be imposed thus further exacerbate its dominant position.
Opozoriti je treba, da so bile protidampinške dajatve ad valorem uvedene v začasni fazi.
The investigation has demonstrated that imports into the Union from the complainant's related Chinese facilities were insignificant during the investigation period.
Dejansko so dajatve ad valorem običajna prednostna oblika ukrepov, saj zagotavljajo večjo učinkovitost ukrepov v primeru nihanj izvoznih cen.
There are also no indications that the complainant would in the future use those Chinese production facilities to replace Indian imports should measures be imposed.
Industrija Unije je zahtevala uvedbo ukrepov v obliki posebnih dajatev iz treh glavnih razlogov:
As indicated in the provisional anti-dumping Regulation, the Commission sent a supplementary information request to analyse more in-depth the impact of measures on the Union users.
indijske izvozne cene cevi iz nodularnega litega železa so sledile padajočemu trendu, ki se je z uvedbo začasnih protidampinških dajatev še okrepil,
The Commission received around 50 replies, mainly from the EU distributors of the product concerned, construction companies and several water utilities, whose identity can be located on the open file.
absorpcijske prakse indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov so se začele že z uvedbo začasnih protidampinških ukrepov in dogovori med povezanimi družbami so v tem primeru zelo verjetni,
Almost all users who replied to the supplementary information request were concerned about the very high market share of the complainant and expressed their apprehension that after the imposition of duties its main competitors, i.e. Indian companies, would be forced to exit the Union market leaving the complainant as a dominant player.
cene cevi iz nodularnega litega železa lahko nihajo v skladu z nihanji cen surovin.
Some distributors also alleged that SG PAM had refused to trade with them or had offered them less advantageous conditions since they had started cooperating with the exporting producers.
Kar zadeva prvi in drugi navedeni razlog industrije, ki sta nekoliko povezana, ni nujno, da je kakršno koli znižanje indijskih izvoznih cen po obdobju preiskave povzročilo povečanje subvencioniranja.
One user provided two price quotes demonstrating in its view that SG PAM had increased its prices by around 25 % in December 2015.
Obseg, v katerem dajatev ad valorem ne bi bila učinkovita pri preprečevanju ravni subvencioniranja po obdobju preiskave, bi moral biti, če je ustrezno, predmet zahteve industrije Unije po vmesnem pregledu v skladu s členom 19 osnovne uredbe.
Some users also alleged that SG PAM had used its strong position to manipulate tenders in favour of their products.
Kar zadeva tretjo točko, je industrija sama priznala, da so se cene glavne surovine za proizvodnjo cevi iz nodularnega litega železa, tj. železove rude, od leta 2014 znižale.
