natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
However, only 11 companies came forward and provided the requested information.
Vendar se je le 11 družb odzvalo in predložilo zahtevane informacije.
As a consequence the total volume of exports by all cooperating exporting producers accounted for 60 % of the total imports from India (Eurostat data).
Ta vzorec je predstavljal 31 % celotnega obsega izvoza iz Indije v Unijo po podatkih Eurostata in 51 % celotnega obsega sodelujočih izvoznikov.
A sample consisting of four groups of exporting producers that represented the largest representative volume of exports that could reasonably be investigated within the time available was originally selected.
Naknadno je ena od vzorčenih družb obvestila Komisijo, da ne more več sodelovati kot vzorčena družba.
This sample accounted for 31 % of the total volume of exports from India to the Union according to Eurostat data and 51 % of the total volume of the cooperating exporters.
V skladu s tem je bila odstranjena iz vzorca.
Subsequently, one of the four sampled companies informed the Commission that it was not in the position to continue its cooperation as a sampled company.
Vendar so preostale tri družbe še vedno predstavljale približno 43 % celotnega izvoza sodelujočih indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz Indije v Unijo in približno 26 % celotnega uvoza po podatkih Eurostata, zato je vzorec še vedno veljal za reprezentativnega.
Accordingly, this company was removed from the sample.
Pritožnik je trdil, da vzorec ni bil reprezentativen, ker vrste izvoza zadevnih izdelkov za dve od treh družb v vzorcu niso bile reprezentativne za veliko večino indijskega izvoza.
However, the remaining three companies still accounted for around 43 % of the total exports from India to the Union by the cooperating Indian exporting producers and around 26 % of total imports according to Eurostat data and the sample was therefore still considered representative.
Pritožnik je nadalje trdil, da vzorec v preostalih treh družbah predstavlja le 13 % celotnega indijskega izvoza v Unijo.
The complainant claimed that the sample was not representative since the export types of the product concerned for two out of the three companies in the sample were not representative of the vast majority of Indian exports.
Zato je zahteval revizijo vzorca ali uporabo člena 18 osnovne uredbe, če ne bi bilo dovolj časa za izbiro novega vzorca.
Furthermore, the complainant argued that the sample of the remaining three companies only represents 13 % of the total Indian exports to the Union.
Trditev pritožnika ni mogoče sprejeti.
The complainant therefore requested revision of the sample or application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation should there be insufficient time to select a new sample.
Prvič, vzorec dejansko predstavlja 26 % skupnega indijskega izvoza v Unijo in ne 13 %, kot je bilo zainteresiranim stranem zmotno sporočeno v dokumentu z informacijami, navedenem v uvodni izjavi 26 spodaj.
The arguments of the complainant cannot be accepted.
Drugič, kot merilo za izbiro vzorca je bil uporabljen največji obseg izvoza v Unijo v skladu s členom 17 osnovne uredbe.
First, the sample represents in fact 26 % of the total Indian exports to the Union and not 13 %, which erroneously had been communicated to interested parties in the information document referred to in recital 26 below.
Zaradi dejstva, da dve od vzorčenih družb nista proizvajali in izvažali vseh vrst izdelkov, vzorec ni nereprezentativen, saj na splošno pokriva vse vrste silicij-mangana.
Second, the criterion used for selecting the sample is the largest volume exported to the Union in accordance with Article 17 of the basic Regulation.
Tretjič, pritožnik sam je v pritožbi trdil, da „je treba vse kakovosti in velikosti silicij-mangana obravnavati kot en sam izdelek, saj imajo vse enake glavne kemične in fizikalne lastnosti ter glavne uporabe“ [3].
The fact that two of the sampled companies do not produce and export all product types does not render the sample non-representative since the sample overall covers all types of silico-manganese.
Četrtič, dejstvo, da je ena vzorčena družba z relativno majhnimi količinami izvoza prenehala sodelovati, verjetno ne pomeni znatnega vpliva na rezultat preiskave ali znatne stopnje nesodelovanja v vzorcu.
Third, the complainant itself argued in the complaint that ‘all qualities and sizes of silico-manganese are to be considered as a single product since they all share the same main chemical and physical characteristics and main uses’ [3].
Iz tega sledi, da je treba zavrniti pritožnikov zahtevek, da se bodisi izbere nov vzorec bodisi uporabi člen 18 osnovne uredbe.
Fourth, the fact that one sampled company with relatively small export volumes ceased cooperation, was not likely to materially affect the outcome of the investigation or to constitute a material degree of non-cooperation from the sample.
Poleg tega je pritožnik na zaslišanju 18. novembra 2015 trdil, da bi bilo treba izvoz nizkokakovostnega silicij-mangana v Unijo izključiti iz obsega izvoza vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, saj izdelka, ki je tako nizke kakovosti, evropske jeklarne ne morejo uporabiti.
It follows that the complainant's request to either select a new sample or to apply Article 18 of the basic Regulation should be rejected.
Komisija opozarja, da je nizkokakovostni silicij-mangan del zadevnega izdelka in da je bila v Unijo izvožena ustrezna količina.
Moreover, during a hearing on 18 November 2015, the complainant argued that the exports of low quality silico-manganese to the Union should be excluded from the export volumes of the sampled exporting producer since such a low quality product cannot be used as such by European steel mills.
Zato zahtevka za izključitev ni mogoče sprejeti.
The Commission recalls that low-quality silico-manganese is part of the product concerned and that a relevant volume was exported to the Union.
Četudi bi ga sprejeli, bi bil učinek na reprezentativnost vzorca v vsakem primeru majhen, saj bi vzorec še vedno predstavljal približno četrtino celotnega indijskega izvoza v Unijo.
Therefore, the request for exclusion cannot be accepted.
Individualna preiskava
In any event, even if it is accepted, the impact on the sample representativeness would be minor since the sample would still represent around one quarter of the total Indian exports to the Union.
Pet proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz Indije je predložilo izpolnjene vprašalnike in zahtevalo, da se določi njihova individualna stopnja dampinga.
Individual examination
Komisija je menila, da glede na okoliščine preiskave takih zahtevkov ni bilo mogoče odobriti.
Five exporting producers from India submitted questionnaire replies requesting to have their individual dumping margins determined.
Izpolnjeni vprašalniki
The Commission considered that it was impracticable, in light of the circumstances of the investigation, to grant such requests.
Komisija je poslala vprašalnike trem vzorčenim proizvajalcem izvoznikom ali skupinam proizvajalcev v Indiji, vsem znanim proizvajalcem v Uniji ter uvoznikom in uporabnikom, ki so zaprosili zanje.
Replies to the questionnaire
Izpolnjeni vprašalniki so bili prejeti od treh vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ali skupin proizvajalcev v Indiji, dveh proizvajalcev Unije, dveh nepovezanih uvoznikov in petih uporabnikov v Uniji.
The Commission sent questionnaires to the three sampled exporting producers or groups of producers in India, to all known Union producers and to the importers and users that so requested.
Preveritveni obiski
Questionnaire replies were received from the three sampled exporting producers or groups of producers in India, two Union producers, two unrelated importers in the Union and five users in the Union.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so se ji zdele potrebne za začasno ugotovitev dampinga, nastale škode in interesa Unije.

Preiskava dampinga in škode je zajela obdobje od 1. oktobra 2013 do 30. septembra 2014 („obdobje preiskave“ ali „OP“).
Investigation period and period considered
Proučitev gibanj, pomembnih za oceno škode, je zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2011 do konca obdobja preiskave („obravnavano obdobje“).
The investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 October 2013 to 30 September 2014 (‘investigation period’ or ‘IP’).
NEUVEDBA ZAČASNIH UKREPOV IN NAKNADNI POSTOPEK
The examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2011 to the end of the investigation period (‘period considered’).
Komisija se je odločila, da ne bo uvedla začasnih ukrepov.
NON-IMPOSITION OF PROVISIONAL MEASURES AND SUBSEQUENT PROCEDURE
Vse zainteresirane strani so prejele dokument z informacijami, v katerem so bili pojasnjeni razlogi za neuvedbo začasnih ukrepov.
The Commission decided not to impose provisional measures.
Več zainteresiranih strani je predložilo pisne pripombe v zvezi z ugotovitvami iz dokumenta z informacijami.
All interested parties received an information document setting out the reasons for the non-imposition of provisional measures.
Strani so na svojo zahtevo imele možnost, da so zaslišane.
Several interested parties submitted written comments on the findings spelled out in the information document.
Zaslišanje s pritožnikom je bilo opravljeno 8. decembra 2015 ob navzočnosti pooblaščenca za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih.
The parties who so requested were granted the opportunity to be heard.
Komisija je nato vse strani obvestila o bistvenih dejstvih in upoštevanih dejavnikih, na podlagi katerih ni imela namena naložiti dokončne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz silicij-mangana s poreklom iz Indije v Unijo.
A hearing with the complainant took place in the presence of the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings on 8 December 2015.
Vsem stranem je bilo zagotovljeno obdobje, v katerem so lahko predložile pripombe glede dokončnega razkritja.
Subsequently, the Commission informed all parties of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended not to impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of silico-manganese originating in India.
Drugo zaslišanje s pritožnikom je bilo opravljeno 20. januarja 2016 ob navzočnosti pooblaščenca za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih.
All parties were granted a period within which they could make comments on the final disclosure.
Na zadnjenavedenem zaslišanju je pritožnika spremljal španski proizvajalec Unije FerroAtlantica, ki ga pritožnik ni zastopal in ki v postopku ni sodeloval, kot je navedeno spodaj v razdelku 5.
A second hearing with the complainant took place in the presence of the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings on 20 January 2016.
Kjer je to ustrezno, so bile obravnavane in upoštevane pripombe, ki so jih predložile zainteresirane strani.
In the latter hearing, the complainant was accompanied by the Spanish Union producer FerroAtlantica, which was not represented by the complainant and had not cooperated during the proceeding, as set out below in Section 5.
ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
The comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and taken into account where appropriate.
Zadevni izdelek
PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Zadevni izdelek je silicij-mangan (vključno s fero-silicij-manganom) s poreklom iz Indije, ki se trenutno uvršča pod oznaki KN ex72023000 in ex81110011 („zadevni izdelek“).
Product concerned
Silicij-mangan je železova zlitina, ki je večinoma sestavljena iz mangana, silicija in železa, na splošno pa vsebuje manjše količine drugih elementov, kot so ogljik, fosfor, žveplo in bor.
The product concerned is silico-manganese (including ferro-silico-manganese) originating in India, currently falling within CN codes numbers ex72023000 and ex81110011 (‘the product concerned’).
Silicij-mangan se proizvaja s topljenjem manganove rude v električnih pečeh ter se uporablja predvsem kot vir mangana in silicija pri proizvodnji jekla.
Silico-manganese is a ferroalloy composed principally of manganese, silicon and iron and generally containing smaller proportions of other elements such as carbon, phosphorous, sulphur and boron.
Obstaja več različnih kakovosti silicij-mangana, odvisno od vsebnosti mangana, silicija in ogljika, prodaja pa se v obliki kamnov različnih velikosti, odvisno od zahtev strank.
Silico-manganese is produced by melting manganese ore in electric furnaces and is used mainly as a source of manganese and silicon in the production of steel.
Vendar vse kakovosti in velikosti predstavljajo en sam izdelek, čeprav se plača premija za višjo vsebnost mangana ali silicija in za vsebnost ogljika pod 0,1 %, ker je tak silicij-mangan primeren za proizvodnjo nekaterih posebnih vrst nerjavnega jekla.
There are several different qualities of silico-manganese depending on the content of manganese, silicon and carbon and it is sold in stones of different sizes depending on the clients' requirements.
Višja ali nižja vsebnost drugih elementov, kot sta fosfor in bor, ne vpliva na ceno, čeprav zaradi vsebnosti takih elementov nad določenimi pragi silicij-mangan ni primeren za nekatere vrste proizvodnje po proizvodni verigi navzdol.
All qualities and sizes constitute a single product though, although a premium is paid for a higher content of manganese or silicon and for a content of carbon below 0,1 %, which makes the silico-manganese suitable for the production of certain special stainless steel.
Podobni izdelek
The higher or lower content of other elements such as phosphorous and boron does not affect the price, although the content of such elements above certain thresholds render the silico-manganese unsuitable for certain downstream productions.
Preiskava je pokazala, da imajo naslednji izdelki enake osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti ter enake osnovne uporabe:
Like product
zadevni izdelek;
The investigation showed that the following products have the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics as well as the same basic uses:
izdelek, ki se proizvaja in prodaja na domačem trgu Indije;
the product concerned;
izdelek, ki ga v Uniji proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije.
the product produced and sold on the domestic market of India;
Komisija je v dokumentu z informacijami ugotovila, da so navedeni izdelki zato podobni izdelki v smislu člena 1(4) osnovne uredbe.
the product produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry.
Trditve glede obsega izdelka
The Commission therefore concluded in its information document that those products are like products within the meaning of Article 1(4) of the basic Regulation.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da je silicij-mangan z zelo nizko vsebnostjo ogljika (večinoma med 0,05 % in 0,1 %, največ pa 0,2 % – „nizkoogljični“ silicij-mangan) drugačen izdelek od „standardnega“ silicij-mangana, ki vsebuje desetkrat več ogljika (največ 2 %).
Claims regarding product scope
Pojasnile so, da čeprav imata dva izdelka podobne kemične elemente, se njihove tehnične lastnosti razlikujejo in to vpliva na njihovo uporabo:
Some interested parties claimed that silico-manganese with a very low content of carbon (mostly between 0,05 % and 0,1 %, maximum 0,2 % — ‘low-carbon’ silico-manganese) was a different product than ‘standard’ silico-manganese which contains 10 times more carbon (maximum 2 %).
nizkoogljični silicij-mangan se uporablja za nerjavno in posebno jeklo, standardni silicij-mangan pa za ogljikovo jeklo.
They explain that although the two products have similar chemical elements, the technical characteristics are different and this has an impact on their use:
Navedle so tudi, da ti dve vrsti silicij-mangana nista medsebojno zamenljivi.
low carbon silico-manganese is used for stainless and specialty steel whereas standard silico-manganese is used for carbon steel.
Medtem ko bi se nizkoogljični silicij-mangan lahko uporabljal za proizvodnjo standardnega jekla, standardnega silicij-mangana ni mogoče uporabljati za proizvodnjo nerjavnega in posebnega jekla.
Also, they state that the two types of silico-manganese are not interchangeable.
Poleg tega uporaba nizkoogljičnega silicij-mangana za proizvodnjo standardnega jekla ne bi bila smiselna, saj je nizkoogljični silicij-mangan dražji.
While low-carbon silico-manganese could be used to produce standard steel, standard silico-manganese cannot be used to produce stainless and specialty steel.
Zato tisti proizvajalci jekla, ki kupujejo obe vrsti silicij-mangana, le-ti uporabljajo za različne proizvodnje.
Furthermore, using low-carbon silico-manganese for manufacturing standard steel would not be reasonable as low-carbon silico-manganese is more expensive.
Poleg tega so opozorile, da so organi ZDA nizkoogljični silicij-mangan izključili iz obsega svoje preiskave in menili, da dejstvo, da Komisija v prejšnji preiskavi ni razlikovala med dvema vrstama silicij-mangana, ne pomeni, da bi morala Komisija v obravnavani zadevi sklepati enako.
Thus, those steel producers which purchase both types of silico-manganese use them for different productions.
Na koncu navajajo, da bi v primeru suma, da gre za izogibanje dajatvam (standardni silicij-mangan deklariran kot nizkoogljični silicij-mangan, da bi se izognili kakršnim koli protidampinškim dajatvam), lahko preprosto izvedli učinkovite carinske preglede in teste.
Moreover, they reminded that the US authorities excluded low-carbon silico-manganese from the scope of their investigation and considered that the fact that the Commission did not distinguish between the two types in a previous investigation did not mean that the Commission should follow the same reasoning in the present case.
Komisija je menila, da je treba za namen te preiskave silicij-mangan obravnavati kot en sam izdelek.
Finally, they suggest that in case of suspicion of duty circumvention (standard silico-manganese declared as low-carbon silico-manganese to avoid any anti-dumping duties) effective customs checks and tests could be carried out easily.
Silicij-mangan je železova zlitina, ki se uporablja predvsem v proizvodnji jekla.
The Commission considered that silico-manganese should be regarded as a single product for the purpose of this investigation.
Vedno je sestavljen iz istih kemičnih sestavin, čeprav se lahko sorazmerje sestavin rahlo razlikuje.
Silico-manganese is a ferroalloy used predominantly in the production of steel.
Čeprav je za določeno jeklo potreben silicij-mangan z omejeno vsebnostjo ogljika, ki ga ni mogoče nadomestiti s standardnim silicij-manganom, to ne pomeni, da gre pri dveh vrstah silicij-mangana za različen izdelek.
It is invariably made of the same chemical components, although sometimes in slightly variable proportions.
Različna vsebnost ogljika – in različna vsebnost mangana – v različnih vrstah silicij-mangana je ustrezno izražena v strukturi „kontrolne številke izdelka“ (PCN), ki omogoča primerjavo zadevne raznolikosti vrst izdelka.
Therefore, even if certain steel requires silico-manganese with limited carbon content that cannot be replaced with by standard silico-manganese, this does not render the two types of silico-manganese a different product.
Organi ZDA so v svojih preiskavah nizkoogljični silicij-mangan izključili iz obsega izdelka, ker v ZDA ni bilo nobenih proizvajalcev nizkoogljičnega silicij-mangana.
The different carbon content — as well as the different manganese content — of various types of silico-manganese is duly reflected in the ‘product-control-number’ (PCN) structure, which allows comparing the respective variety of types of the product.
Komisija je že v prejšnjih preiskavah menila, da sta standardni in nizkoogljični silicij-mangan v osnovi enak izdelek, tudi da bi se izognila morebitnemu izogibanju dajatvam prek napačnega deklariranja (carinski organi nizkoogljičnega silicij-mangana ne morejo vizualno razlikovati; potrebno je testiranje).
The US authorities excluded low-carbon silico-manganese from the product scope in their investigations because there were no producers of low-carbon silico-manganese in the United States.
Dejstvo, da je nizkoogljični silicij-mangan dražji, ne zagotavlja, da bi lahko carinski organi odkrili morebitno izogibanje na podlagi cene na računu, zlasti če sta stranki v transakcijah povezani ali se dogovorita o navzkrižnih kompenzacijah.
The Commission considered already in previous investigations that standard and low-carbon silico-manganese are basically the same product, also to avoid possible circumvention of duties via mis-declaration (low-carbon silico-manganese cannot be distinguished visually by the customs authorities, testing would be required).
Zato se zahtevek zavrne.
The fact that low-carbon silico-manganese is more expensive does not guarantee that the customs authorities could detect possible circumvention based on the invoice price, especially if the two parties in the transactions are related or agree on cross-compensations.
DAMPING
As a consequence, this claim is rejected.
Normalna vrednost
DUMPING
Komisija je v skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe najprej proučila, ali je celotni obseg domače prodaje posameznih sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov reprezentativen.
Normal value
Domača prodaja je reprezentativna, če celotni obseg domače prodaje podobnega izdelka neodvisnim strankam na domačem trgu na proizvajalca izvoznika v obdobju preiskave predstavlja vsaj 5 % njegovega celotnega obsega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
The Commission first examined whether the total volume of domestic sales for each cooperating exporting producer was representative, in accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je nato opredelila, katere vrste izdelka, ki se prodajajo na domačem trgu, so enake ali podobne vrstam izdelka, ki se prodaja za izvoz v Unijo, ter proučila, ali je domača prodaja posameznega sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika vseh vrst izdelka reprezentativna v skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe.
The domestic sales are representative if the total domestic sales volume of the like product to independent customers on the domestic market per exporting producer represents at least 5 % of its total export sales volume of the product concerned to the Union during the investigation period.
Domača prodaja vrste izdelka je reprezentativna, če celotni obseg domače prodaje te vrste izdelka neodvisnim strankam v obdobju preiskave predstavlja vsaj 5 % celotnega obsega izvoza enake ali podobne vrste izdelka v Unijo.
