On the other hand, whereas between 2012 and 2013 the Union industry could have benefited from the recovery of the market, it was prevented from doing so by a further increase in imports from the PRC and Russia.
Čeprav sta LRK in Rusija med državami, ki porabijo največ jekla na svetu, imata obe državi znatno presežno zmogljivost.
Cheap imports gradually increased and captured market shares to the detriment of the Union industry.
Ta spodbudi proizvajalce v LRK in Rusiji, da izvažajo svoj presežek proizvodnje po nizkih cenah, s čimer vplivajo na svetovne cene in jih izkrivljajo.
In addition, the particular situation in 2012 should not bear a crucial impact on the trend during the longer period of analysis and it is in any event clear that the continuous pressure of imports started to be fully felt in 2012.
Kot je navedlo združenje Eurofer, so se v obravnavanem obdobju poleg tega uvozne cene zadevnih držav znižale bolj od cen surovin/materiala višje v prodajni verigi.
The exclusion of 2012 from the volume-effect analysis requested by the party was found not to be justified.
To opažanje podpira primerjava stroškov proizvodnje industrije Unije, ki so se v obravnavanem obdobju skupaj zmanjšali za 16 %, povprečne uvozne cene pa so se v istem obdobju znižale za 20 %.
Trends would be missing one key element, thus distorted.
Čeprav zmanjšanje stroškov proizvodnje ni le posledica nižjih cen uporabljenih surovin, temveč tudi izboljšanja učinkovitosti proizvajalcev Unije (glej uvodno izjavo 134), je bilo kljub temu manjše od znižanja uvoznih cen iz LRK in Rusije.
It can be provisionally concluded that the economic crises are not the root cause of the Union industry's injury and do not break the causal link between the dumped imports and the injury of the Union industry.
V pravičnih tržnih razmerah bi industrija Unije lahko ohranila svoje ravni prodajnih cen in tako izkoristila zmanjšanje stroškov ter ponovno dosegla dobičkonosnost.
Union producers are not sufficiently competitive/efficient
Vendar so morali proizvajalci Unije še naprej zniževati svoje prodajne cene in po obdobju preiskave so se cene nadalje znižale na zgodovinsko nizko raven.
Some interested parties alleged that the Union producers were not sufficiently competitive due to comparatively higher costs and that alleged injury stems from the inefficiency of the complainants.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
They notably blamed the establishment of sectoral limits on greenhouse gas emissions and increasing fees for carbon dioxide emissions and costs of compliance with regulatory requirements in the area of environmental and climate policy for the European companies.
Preglednica 17
In reply to this allegation, however, Eurofer emphasised that, based on the complaint, the costs of goods sold of the complainants decreased in the year for which the costs of compliance with regulatory requirements should have allegedly incurred.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih držav (v tonah) in tržni delež
In addition, it is important to mention that the numerous environmental regulations implemented in the Union are in general not recent and the investigation showed that the share of environmental compliance costs is moderate and had thus no significant impact on the operations of the Union steel mills during the period considered.
Obseg uvoza iz tretjih držav
The Russian producers challenged the soundness of the investments made by the complainants in 2011-2012 and the capacity increase in 2011.
Obseg uvoza iz Ukrajine
They attributed the decreased profitability to the Union industry's own business decisions and the injury to the inability of complainants to reposition themselves in the face of global competition.
Obseg uvoza iz Indije
However the investigation showed that business decisions made during the period considered were carefully assessed.
Obseg uvoza iz Irana
Investments, upstream and downstream, were made in order to increase efficiency, improve the product quality, develop high technological products and satisfy the increasing customer requirements.
Uvoz iz zadevnih držav je predstavljal veliko večino celotnega uvoza v Unijo.
Indeed, the capacity of the Union industry decreased by 3 % during the period considered (see Table 5).
Tržni delež takega uvoza se je tako zmanjšal z 10,9 % leta 2011 na 9,1 % v obdobju preiskave.
In addition, the cold-rolled flat steel products production capacity is not entirely dedicated to the cold-rolled flat steel products market per se as the cold-rolled flat steel production is also used for downstream activities, as pinpointed in Section 4.2.
Številne zainteresirane strani so trdile, da so bili učinki uvoza iz tretjih držav domnevno prenizko ocenjeni, in sicer v smislu njihove uspešnosti in stopnje rasti.
The impact of the export performance of the Union industry is explained below.
Zlasti ruski organi in ruski proizvajalci so menili, da je pritožnik prenizko ocenil dejavnik večanja uvoza iz drugih držav, zlasti iz Indije in Ukrajine.
Decrease in raw materials and cold-rolled flat steel products prices on the global market
Ena zainteresirana stran je izpostavila, da je uvoz hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla iz Irana in Ukrajine potekal po nižjih cenah kot uvoz iz LRK in Rusije, njun skupni uvoz pa predstavlja 12,3 % celotnega uvoza v Unijo.
In the view of several parties, cold-rolled flat steel products prices of the Union producers and of the countries concerned would follow a sole worldwide price trend and basically reflect the decreasing prices of raw materials.
Trenutno ni dokazov, da bi uvoz iz Indije, Irana ali Ukrajine na trg Unije potekal po dampinških cenah.
One party also alleged that the complainants failed to take the advantage of decreasing raw material costs and reduce their average costs of goods sold.
Poleg tega je na podlagi podatkov Eurostata in izračunane potrošnje na trgu Unije tržni delež zgoraj navedenega uvoza nizek.
However, if a general decreasing trend in cold-rolled flat steel products prices may have played a certain role, the decreasing prices on the Union market cannot be attributed solely to such a general worldwide situation.
Čeprav se je tržni delež uvoza iz Indije, Irana in Ukrajine skupaj povečal s 4,1 % leta 2011 na 5,4 % v obdobju preiskave, so posamezni tržni deleži znašali le od 1 % do 2,4 %.
First, the price development of cold-rolled flat steel products in the international context shows regional differences.
Zato ni verjetno, da bi ti viri uvoza imeli tak učinek, kot trdijo zainteresirane strani, in ne prekinjajo vzročne zveze.
Countries with limited installed capacities, such as Brazil or Argentina, have a relatively low impact on the global price setting process and price development is less volatile.
Kljub temu bo Komisija podrobno spremljala razvoj razmer na trgu in po potrebi sprejela ustrezne ukrepe za soočanje z dampingom zgoraj navedenih držav.
By contrast, in established steel markets, domestic producers compete with many import sources, leading to a growing price pressure and, consequently, to price erosions.
Izvoz industrije Unije
This situation gets exacerbated by dumped prices.
Obseg izvoza proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Second, even if the PRC and Russia are amongst the most steel-consuming countries in the world, both countries have a significant excess capacity.
Preglednica 18
Producers from the PRC and Russia are thus incentivised to export their surplus of production at low prices, thereby impacting and distorting global prices.
Izvoz
Third, as noted by Eurofer, import prices from the countries concerned have decreased more than the decrease in raw material prices/upstream material over the same period.
Preverjeni izpolnjeni vprašalnik združenja Eurofer in vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
This observation is corroborated by the comparison between the cost of production of the Union industry, which decreased altogether by 16 % over the period considered, whereas the average import prices decreased by 20 % over the same period.
Obseg izvoza nepovezanim strankam
Or, although the decrease in cost of production was not only due to a lower cost for the raw materials used but also efficiency gains achieved by Union producers (see recital 134), it was still inferior to the decrease in import prices from the PRC and Russia.
Povprečna cena (v EUR/tono)
Under fair market conditions, the Union industry could have maintained its sales price levels so as to reap the benefits of a reduction in costs and reach profitability again.
Obseg izvoza nepovezanim strankam je v obdobju 2011–2014 ostal stabilen, nato pa se je v obdobju preiskave povečal za 4 %.
However Union producers had to continue to depress their sales price and after the investigation period prices continued to fall down to historically low levels.
Stran je navedla, da povečevanje izvoza odraža konkurenčnost hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla s poreklom iz EU na svetovnem trgu in kaže, da pritožniki uspešno poslujejo.
Imports from third countries
Vendar bi se moralo kakršno koli povečanje izvoza obravnavati kot samoobrambni ukrep proizvajalcev Unije, ki iščejo dobičkonosne niše na izvoznih trgih, da bi ohranili zadostno izkoriščenost zmogljivosti in zaščitili delovna mesta v Uniji.
The volume of imports from third countries developed over the period considered as follows:
Povečanje je povezano tudi z dejstvom, da so nekateri proizvajalci Unije globalni subjekti, ki morajo slediti svojim strankam, ko vlagajo v nove trge, preden lokalne odvisne družbe prevzamejo nadzor nad oskrbo takih strank.
Table 17
V zvezi s tem je treba omeniti, da je izvoz nepovezanim strankam v obdobju 2011–2014 ostal stabilen in da se je začel večati šele v obdobju preiskave (+ 4 %).
Import volume from other countries (tonnes) and market share
To povečanje izvoza je bilo večinoma povezano s posebnimi trgi, kot so trgi Združenih držav Amerike, LRK in Alžirije, večinoma pa so ga sestavljali izdelki z visoko dodano vrednostjo in posebni izdelki, pri katerih ima industrija Unije konkurenčno prednost v smislu kakovosti in zanesljivosti oskrbe.
Volume of imports from the India
Ta trditev je neutemeljena.
Volume of imports from Iran
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, se je izvoz nepovezanim strankam povečal večinoma v obdobju preiskave.
Imports from the countries concerned constitute the vast majority of all imports in the Union.
Navesti je treba tudi, da je izvoz predstavljal zgolj od 12 % do 14 % celotne prodaje nepovezanim strankam in da so se izvozne cene znižale manj kot cene v Uniji ter da so bile bistveno višje od cen na koncu obravnavanega obdobja.
Other imports decreased by – 24 % during the period considered;
Težave v zvezi z zmogljivostjo jeklarske industrije Unije
i.e. more than the decrease in Union free market consumption.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da so strukturne težave jeklarske industrije Unije, kot je presežna zmogljivost, vzrok škode industrije Unije.
The market share of such imports has thus decreased from 10,9 % in 2011 to 9,1 % in the investigation period.
V istem okviru so ruski organi navedli, da v skladu z objavo OECD „Excess Capacity in the Global Steel Industry and the Implications of New Investment Projects“ (Presežna zmogljivost v svetovni jeklarski industriji in posledice novih naložbenih projektov) iz leta 2014 presežna zmogljivost škodi svetovni jeklarski industriji in med drugim povzroča nizke cene.
Numerous interested parties argued that the effects of imports from third countries have been allegedly underestimated, namely in terms of their performance and growth rates.
Vendar je industrija Unije sprejela ukrepe za soočanje z morebitnim presežkom splošne jeklarske zmogljivosti in proizvodnje, da se je prilagodila najnovejšemu razvoju trga.
In particular, the Russian authorities and the Russian producers considered that the complainant undervalued the factor of growing imports from other countries, especially from India and Ukraine.
Na podlagi podatkov OECD [4] se pričakuje, da se bo jeklarska zmogljivost povečala po vsem svetu, razen v Uniji.
One interested party highlighted that imports of cold-rolled flat steel products from Iran and Ukraine were made at prices even lower than that of imports from the PRC and Russia, and together they account for 12,3 % of total imports into the Union.
Preglednica 9 zgoraj prikazuje, da se je zmogljivost industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 3 %.
First, at the current time there is no evidence that imports from India, Iran or Ukraine would be dumped on the Union market.
Nasprotno pa se je proizvodna zmogljivost večine sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v zadevnih državah v istem obdobju povečala.
Moreover, based on figures available through Eurostat, and calculated consumption on the Union market, the market share of the aforementioned imports is low.
Uvoz industrije Unije
Although the market share of imports from India, Iran and Ukraine together increased from 4,1 % in 2011 to 5,4 % in the investigation period, their individual market shares ranged between 1 % and 2,4 % only.
Ruski proizvajalci so trdili, da uvoz pritožnikov iz LRK in Rusije močno kaže na to, da so si sami škodovali, in da se pritožnikom ne sme dovoliti, da izkoristijo razmere, ki so jih sami povzročili.
Such import sources are thus unlikely to have had the impact alleged by interested parties and do not break the causal link.
V zvezi s tem pritožniki trdijo, da so integrirane jeklarske skupine s podružnicami za trgovanje, ki poslujejo neodvisno od proizvodnih obratov.
Nevertheless, the Commission will be closely monitoring the evolution of the market situation and may, if necessary, take appropriate measures to tackle dumping from the aforementioned countries.
Podružnice za trgovanje, ki hladno valjane ploščate izdelke iz jekla, ki jih potrebujejo, lahko kupijo od mnogih virov, so se občasno soočale z velikim pritiskom strank, naj pridobijo najcenejši možni material, in so morale po svojih navedbah zelo omejen del svojih potreb pokriti z uvozom, vključno z uvozom iz LRK in Rusije, da so zaščitile in ohranile svoja poslovna razmerja.
Export sales performance of the Union industry
To vprašanje je bilo navedeno že v pritožbi v zvezi z nekaterimi proizvajalci Unije.
The volume of exports of the Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Vendar ni mogoče razumno trditi, da si je industrija Unije zaradi tega uvoza sama škodovala.
Table 18
Tak uvoz so izvajali le nekateri proizvajalci Unije in predstavlja majhen obseg (od 0 % do 5 % prodaje pritožnikov, ki so jo opravile podružnice proizvajalcev Unije za trgovanje) ter je bil le začasen samoobrambni ukrep, s katerim so se odzvali na dampinški uvoz po nizkih cenah iz LRK in Rusije.
Export volume to unrelated customers
Ruski proizvajalci so podobno trdili, da so se kvote iz teh naknadnih sporazumov štele za neškodljive in da se zaščitni mehanizem, določen v teh sporazumih, ni nikoli zahteval, kaj šele izvajal.
Average price (EUR/t)
Vendar so te trditve neutemeljene.
The volume of exports to unrelated customers remained stable between 2011 and 2014 before increasing by 4 % in the investigation period.
Informacije v spisu kažejo, da so bile kvote po gospodarski krizi previsoke, saj niso bile revidirane.
As far as prices are concerned, they dropped significantly by – 13 % over the period considered;
O zadevnih sporazumih, ki segajo v oktober leta 1997, so pogosto potekala pogajanja (npr. v okviru širitve Unije), vendar kvote nikoli niso bile prilagojene na bistveno nižjo raven, da bi se upošteval razvoj trga.
i.e. less than the price on the Union market (– 19 %).
Poleg tega so zadevne kvote zajemale veliko širši izbor izdelkov, vključno z izdelki, ki so nižje v prodajni verigi, in ne le hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla.
A party stated that the increasing export sales show the competitiveness of the EU-origin cold-rolled flat steel products on the global market and illustrates that the complainants are performing well.
Celotne kvote niso bile nikoli predvidene zgolj za hladno valjane ploščate izdelke iz jekla.
However, any increase in export sales should be seen as a self-defence measure by Union producers looking for profitable niches in export markets so as to maintain sufficient capacity utilisation and safeguard jobs in the Union.
Ruski uvoz je zdaj večja težava za trg Unije kot v preteklosti, saj znatno povečanje uvoza iz Rusije skupaj z nizkimi dampinškimi cenami povzroča motnje na trgu Unije v obsegu, ki ga ni mogoče primerjati s preteklimi obdobji.
The increase is also related to the fact that certain Union producers are global players that need to follow their customers when they invest in new markets before local subsidiaries take over the supply to such customers.
Subjekti, ki niso pritožniki, potencialno škodijo industriji Unije
In this respect it is noted that exports to unrelated customers remained stable between 2011 and 2014, and only started to increase in the investigation period (+ 4 %).
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da subjekti, ki niso pritožniki, niso oškodovani in da pravzaprav potencialno povzročajo škodo industriji Unije.
Such increased exports mainly concerned specific markets, such as the United States, the PRC and Algeria, and mainly consist in high added value and specialties products, for which the Union industry has a competitive advantage in terms of quality and reliability of supply.
Navedle so, da se industrija Unije deli na uspešne proizvajalce, ki pripravljajo načrte za prihodnost (tj. subjekte, ki niso pritožniki), in druge proizvajalce (pritožnike).
By contrast, according to Eurofer, exports towards countries which are more commodities-oriented decreased.
Trdile so, da zagate iz pritožbe ni mogoče pripisati ruskemu uvozu, saj subjekti, ki niso pritožniki, predstavljajo 24 % proizvodnje hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla Unije in dosegajo bistveno boljše rezultate kot pritožniki pri številnih kazalnikih škode.
Based on data in the complaint, one interested party also alleged that the increasing export quantities were sold at a loss and therefore had a negative impact on the profitability of the Union industry as a whole.
Te trditve so neutemeljene.
This allegation is ill-founded.
Temeljno načelo vsakega postopka trgovinske zaščite je, da je sodelovanje v navedenem postopku prostovoljno.
As mentioned above, the increase in export sales to unrelated customers took place mostly in the investigation period.
Poleg tega nekatere ugotovitve o škodi temeljijo na vzorčenih proizvajalcih Unije, ki so ob upoštevanju oddelka 1.5.1 reprezentativni za celotno industrijo Unije.
It is also noted that export sales accounted for not more than 12 % to 14 % of total sales to unrelated customers and that export prices decreased less than prices in the Union and were significantly higher than those at the end of the period considered.
Čeprav se res zdi, da so proizvajalci, ki niso pritožniki, povečali svoje ravni proizvodnje, je to treba obravnavati ob upoštevanja dejstva, da so nekateri od teh proizvodnih obratov tudi proizvajalci, ki poslujejo v sektorju, ki je nižje v prodajni verigi, kot je vroče galvanizirano hladno valjano ploščato jeklo.
Capacity issues affecting the Union steel industry
Večji obseg proizvodnje ne pomeni nujno večje dobičkonosnosti in boljšega položaja na trgu Unije.
Some interested parties claimed that structural problems of the Union steel industry such as overcapacity have been the cause of injury to the Union industry.
Nasprotno pa lahko to namiguje na to, da so ti proizvodni obrati raje osredotočali svoje dejavnosti na bolj nišne izdelke z visoko dodano vrednostjo, kot da bi konkurirali dampinškemu kitajskemu in ruskemu izvozu na trgu hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla.
In the same vein, the Russian authorities noted that according to the OECD publication ‘Excess capacity in the global steel industry and the implications of new investment projects’ (2014), excess capacity is hurting the global steel industry, resulting, among others, in low prices.
Proizvajalci pritožniki so v Uniji v obdobju preiskave predstavljali 89 % celotne proizvodnje proizvodnih obratov Unije, pri čemer se ne upoštevajo valjarne za ponovno valjanje.
However, the Union industry undertook steps to tackle any potential excess in its overall steel capacity and output so as to adapt to the recent market developments.
Zato so proizvodni obrati pritožnikov zelo reprezentativni za industrijo Unije kot celoto in dejstvo, sprejeto ali ne, da nekateri proizvajalci v Uniji uspešneje poslujejo na trgu Unije, je lahko posledica številnih dejavnikov, ki ne izpodbija dejstva, da je industrija Unije na splošno utrpela škodo zaradi dampinškega uvoza.
Based on OECD data [4], steel capacity is expected to increase worldwide, except for the Union.
Čeprav so bili proizvajalci, ki niso pritožniki, pri prodaji nekoliko uspešnejši od proizvajalcev pritožnikov, čeprav je prodaja stagnirala, se je gibanje na začetku leta 2014 obrnilo.
Table 9 above shows that the capacity of the Union industry decreased by 3 % over the period considered.
Poleg tega informacije v spisu kažejo, da so tudi valjarne za ponovno valjanje pod enakim pritiskom, ki ga povzroča zniževanje cen na trgu Unije, njihov položaj pa je primerljiv s položajem integriranih proizvodnih obratov Unije.
On the contrary, the production capacity of most of the cooperating exporting producers in the countries concerned increased over the same period.
Na podlagi tega je mogoče skleniti, da se zdi, da proizvajalci, ki niso pritožniki, niso dosegli boljših rezultatov od proizvajalcev pritožnikov in da zlasti njihov tržni delež proizvodnje Unije ni dovolj velik, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo med dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije kot celota.
Imports by the Union industry
SKLEP O VZROČNI ZVEZI
The Russian producers argued that complainants' imports from the PRC and Russia strongly suggest self-inflicted injury and that complainants cannot be allowed to take advantage of the situation rendered by their own hands.
Vzročna zveza je bila začasno vzpostavljena med škodo, ki so jo utrpeli proizvajalci Unije, in dampinškim uvozom iz zadevnih držav.
In this regard, the complainants claim to be integrated steel groups with trading arms that operate independently from the producing mills.
Komisija je opredelila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije in jih ločila od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
Trading arms, free to purchase their cold-rolled flat steel products needs from multiple sources, were occasionally confronted with a roaring pressure from customers to obtain the cheapest material possible and, allegedly, compelled to source a very limited part of their needs from imports, including from the PRC and Russia, so as to secure and maintain their commercial relationships.
Začasno je bilo ugotovljeno, da drugi opredeljeni dejavniki, kot so gospodarska kriza, trditev, da industrija Unije ni dovolj konkurenčna/učinkovita, uvoz iz tretjih držav, vloga subjektov, ki niso pritožniki, izvoz proizvajalcev Unije ali presežna zmogljivost industrije Unije, ne prekinjajo vzročne zveze, čeprav bi lahko imeli skupni učinek.
This issue was already acknowledged in the complaint as regards some of the Union producers.
Kriza in zmanjšanje potrošnje ter racionalizacija industrije Unije so morda nekoliko prispevali k škodi, vendar na položaj industrije Unije zagotovo ne bi imeli tako velikega vpliva, če ne bi bilo stalnega zniževanja cen dampinškega uvoza.
However, it cannot reasonably be held that the injury suffered by the Union industry was self-inflicted due to these imports.
Zlasti prodajne cene se ne bi znižale na tako nizke ravni, dosegla pa bi se boljša dobičkonosnost.
Such imports were made by only some of the Union producers, represent low volumes (between 0-5 % of the sales of the complainants, made by trading arms of the Union producers) and were made as a matter of temporary self-defence as a reaction against low-priced dumped imports from the PRC and Russia.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija v tej fazi sklenila, da je znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica dampinškega uvoza iz zadevnih držav in da drugi posamično ali skupaj obravnavani dejavniki niso prekinili vzročne zveze.
