At the same period, the Indian imports increased by 22,6 % and their market share grew by 3,5 percentage points.
Komisija je zagotovila, da se morebitna škoda, ki so jo povzročili drugi dejavniki in ne dampinški uvoz iz zadevne države, ni pripisala temu dampinškemu uvozu.
Other indicators remained relatively stable.
Ti dejavniki so gospodarska kriza in manjše povpraševanje, uvoz iz tretjih držav, izvoz industrije Unije in konkurenca nadomestnih izdelkov, kot so plastične cevi.
However, their deterioration was to a large extent prevented by a substantial increase in the Union industry's sales outside the Union.
Učinki dampinškega uvoza
The only indicator which showed a clearly positive trend during the period considered was investments, which went up by 20 %.
Obseg prodaje indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v Uniji je bil že na začetku obravnavanega obdobja skoraj dvakrat večji 75000–85000 od obsega vsega ostalega uvoza skupaj (45,8 kt).
However in the years 2012 and 2013 the level of investment was much lower and the increase in the investigation period did not even offset the decrease in the preceding years.
Prodaja indijskih proizvajalcev se je leta 2012 gibala v skladu s potrošnjo, vendar je ohranila približno 10–15-odstotni tržni delež.
A very low profitability, coupled with a continued loss of sales and the market share in the Union, puts the Union industry in a difficult economic situation.
Vendar je indijskim proizvajalcem leta 2013, ko je bila potrošnja še vedno na nizki ravni, dobičkonosnost industrije Unije pa negativna, uspelo bistveno povečati svojo prodajo in tržni delež.
On the basis of the above, the Commission provisionally concluded that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Takšno uspešno povečanje prodaje indijskih proizvajalcev na nazadujočem trgu je bilo mogoče zaradi agresivnega določanja dampinških cen, saj so se indijske uvozne cene leta 2013 v primerjavi z istim obdobjem prejšnjega leta znižale za 6,2 %.
CAUSATION
Agresivno določanje cen se je nadaljevalo v obdobju preiskave.
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports from the country concerned caused material injury to the Union industry.
Obseg prodaje indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je v obdobju preiskave presegel 100000 ton, njihov tržni delež pa je dosegel 15 %–20 %.
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Takšno hitro povečanje je bilo mogoče zaradi znatnega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen proizvajalcev Unije.
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the dumped imports from the country concerned was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Ugotovljeni stopnji nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen sta 34 % in 42,4 %.
These factors are: the economic crisis and decrease of demand, imports from third countries, export performance of the Union industry and the competition from substitute products such as plastic pipes.
Medtem ko sta se prodaja in tržni delež indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov močno povečala, se je obseg prodaje industrije Unije zmanjšal veliko bolj kot potrošnja, prodaja industrije Unije se je zmanjšala za 6,4 %, njen tržni delež pa za 2,5 odstotne točke.
Effects of the dumped imports
Glede na jasno sovpadanje znatnega nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen proizvajalcev Unije zaradi indijskega dampinškega uvoza ter zmanjšanja obsega prodaje in tržnega deleža industrije Unije, ki je povzročilo zelo nizko dobičkonosnost, se sklene, da je bil dampinški uvoz razlog za slab položaj industrije Unije.
The Indian exporting producers' volume of sales in the Union were almost twice as large 75000 – 85000 as all other imports combined (45,8kt) already at the beginning of the period considered.
Učinki drugih dejavnikov
The Indian sales fell in line with the consumption in the year 2012 but maintained a market share of around 10-15 %.
Gospodarska kriza in manjše povpraševanje
However, in the year 2013, when the consumption was still depressed and the profitability of the Union industry negative, the Indian manufacturers managed to increase significantly both their sales and market share.
Potrošnja zadevnega izdelka v Uniji se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 3,3 %, indijski uvoz pa se je v istem obdobju povečal za 22,6 %.
Such a successful expansion of the Indian sales in a declining market was possible through aggressive dumped pricing — the Indian import prices went down year-on-year in 2013 by 6,2 %.
Glavni upad potrošnje (za 15 % v obdobju 2011–2012) je bil posledica gospodarske krize in zmanjšanja javnih izdatkov.
The aggressive pricing continued in the investigation period.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
The volume of sales from the Indian exporting producers exceeded 100000 and their market share reached 15-20 % in the investigation period.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Such a quick expansion was possible through substantial undercutting of the Union producers.
Obseg uvoza iz tretjih držav (v metričnih tonah)
The level of undercutting was established at 34 % and 42,4 %.
Vir: Eurostat.
Whilst the Indian sales and market share increased significantly, the volume of sales of the Union industry fell much more than the consumption and the Union Industry lost sales by 6,4 % and its market share fell by 2,5 percentage points.
Kitajska
Effects of other factors
vse tretje države
The economic crisis and decrease in demand
Uvoz iz Indije je predstavljal večino celotnega uvoza v Unijo (več kot 70 %) v obdobju preiskave.
The Union consumption of the product concerned decreased by 3,3 % in the period considered, while the Indian imports increased at the same time by 22,6 %.
Uvoz iz Indije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za več kot 22 %, uvoz iz drugih držav pa se je v istem obdobju zmanjšal za več kot 20 %.
The main fall in consumption (15 % from 2011 to 2012) was caused by an economic crisis and shrinking public expenditure.
Tržni delež uvoza iz Indije se je povečal za 2,5 odstotne točke, tržni delež uvoza iz drugih držav pa se je zmanjšal za več kot eno odstotno točko.
The decrease in consumption seems to have contributed to the injury at the beginning of the period considered, and may also have contributed in the year 2013.
Glede na majhen obseg uvoza iz tretjih držav in dejstvo, da sta se obseg in tržni delež tega uvoza zmanjšala, nič ne kaže na to, da je ta uvoz povzročil škodo industriji Unije.
However, in 2013 and, especially in the investigation period, the dumped Indian imports are the main injury factor exerting downward pressure on the Union sales of the Union Industry and preventing the return to a sustainable profitability.
Proizvajalca izvoznika sta trdila, da je eden od proizvajalcev Unije zadevni izdelek uvažal iz svojih proizvodnih obratov na Kitajskem in si s tem sam povzročal škodo.
Imports from third countries
Ta trditev ni bila podprta z nobenimi dokazi.
The volume of imports from other third countries developed over the period considered as follows:
Preverjeni dokazi so pokazali, da je bil obseg uvoza v Unijo iz kitajskih obratov, povezanih s proizvajalcem Unije, zelo majhen.
Imports from third countries in volume (metric tonnes)
Poleg tega se je uvoz s Kitajske v obravnavanem obdobju bistveno zmanjšal in izgubil več kot 2 odstotni točki tržnega deleža, kar jasno kaže, da ta uvoz ni povzročil škode.

Izvoz industrije Unije
China
Obseg izvoza sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Third countries except China
Izvoz sodelujočih proizvajalcev Unije
All third countries
Obseg izvoza – indeks
The imports from India constituted the majority of all imports in the Union (more than 70 %) in the investigation period.
Povprečna izvozna cena – indeks
While Indian imports increased by more than 22 % during the period considered other imports decreased by more than 20 % in the same period.
Prodaja industrije Unije zunaj Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju močno povečala, in sicer za 30 %, povprečna prodajna cena pa je ostala razmeroma nespremenjena.
While Indian imports gained market share by 2,5 percentage points, the other imports lost the market share by more than 1 percentage point.
Zato je prodaja zunaj Unije v bistvu dejavnik, ki je zmanjšal škodo.
Given the low volumes of imports from third countries as well as the fact that they decreased both in volume and in market share terms, there is no indication that they caused injury to the Union industry.
Če se prodaja zunaj Unije ne bi povečala, bi bil položaj industrije Unije še slabši.
Exporting producers claimed that one of the Union producers imported the product concerned from its Chinese production facilities, inflicting injury on itself.
Konkurenca nadomestnih izdelkov
No evidence was found to support those claims.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
The verified evidence demonstrated that imports into the Union from the related Chinese facilities of the Union producer had been very low.
Začasno je bilo ugotovljeno, da obstaja vzročna zveza med škodo, ki so jo utrpeli proizvajalci Unije, in dampinškim uvozom iz zadevne države.
In addition, the imports from China decreased significantly during the period considered and lost the market share by more than 2 percentage points, which clearly rules them out as the cause of the injury.
Nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen industrije Unije zaradi dampinškega uvoza jasno sovpada z zmanjšanjem prodaje industrije Unije v EU in njenega tržnega deleža v EU.
Export performance of the Union industry
Dampinški uvoz iz Indije je v obdobju preiskave nelojalno znižal prodajne cene industrije Unije za 34 % in 42,4 %.
The volume of exports of the cooperating Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
To je močno zmanjšalo dobičkonosnost industrije EU.
Export performance of the cooperating Union Producers
Komisija je opredelila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije in jih ločila od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
Average Export Price Index
Zato je bilo začasno ugotovljeno, da zmanjšanje potrošnje ne prekine vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom in znatno škodo.
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.
Začasno je bilo ugotovljeno, 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.
Therefore, the sales outside of the Union are actually a factor alleviating the injury.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija v tej fazi sklenila, da je znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica dampinškega uvoza iz Indije in da drugi posamično ali skupaj upoštevani dejavniki niso prekinili vzročne zveze.
Absent an increase of sales outside of the Union, the Union industry would be in an even more injurious situation.
Škoda se večinoma kaže v zmanjšanju prodaje v Uniji, izgubi tržnega deleža, slabi izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti in slabi dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije.
Competition from substitute products
INTERES 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)).
Komisija je v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali bi bila uvedba protidampinških ukrepov v nasprotju z interesom Unije.
However taking into account the maintenance cost and the product life, the product concerned have cost advantages in the long term.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih zadevnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, distributerjev in končnih uporabnikov, kot so družbe za oskrbo z vodo, kanalizacijo ali namakanje.
Plastic pipes exert some competitive pressure on the product concerned, especially for smaller diameters.
Interes industrije Unije
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.
Proizvodni obrati industrije Unije so v Franciji, Nemčiji, Španiji in Avstriji.
Therefore, the competition from plastic substitutes was unlikely to be the cause of the material injury in the period considered.
Industrija Unije je neposredno zaposlovala več kot 2400 oseb v proizvodnji in prodaji zadevnega izdelka.
Conclusion on causation
V preiskavi sta sodelovala dva od treh proizvajalcev.
A causal link was provisionally established between the injury suffered by the Union producers and the dumped imports from the country concerned.
Nesodelujoči proizvajalec ni nasprotoval začetku preiskave.
There is a clear coincidence in time between the undercutting of the Union industry's prices by the dumped imports and the Union's industry decrease in EU sales and the EU market share.
Kot je bilo prikazano, sta sodelujoči družbi utrpeli znatno škodo, saj je dampinški uvoz negativno vplival nanju.
The dumped imports from India undercut the Union industry prices by 34 % and 42,4 % during the investigation period.
Pričakuje se, da bo uvedba začasnih protidampinških dajatev ponovno vzpostavila poštene tržne pogoje na trgu Unije ter proizvajalcem Unije omogočila, da povečajo svojo prodajo in izboljšajo slabo izkoriščenost zmogljivosti.
This results in a very low profitability of the EU industry.
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.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports.
Zelo verjetno je, da se bo brez ukrepov gospodarski položaj industrije Unije še poslabšal.
The economic crisis and decrease in demand contributed to the injury at the beginning of the period considered, and may have contributed in the year 2013.
Zato se začasno sklene, da bi bila uvedba protidampinških dajatev v interesu industrije Unije.
However, in the absence of significant undercutting of the Union industry by dumped imports, the situation of the Union industry would certainly not have been affected to such an extent.
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov, distributerjev, uporabnikov in drugih zainteresiranih strani
In particular, the sales would not fall so much, the capacity utilisation would be higher and the profitability would be more sustainable.
Noben nepovezan uvoznik se ni javil v roku, določenem v obvestilu o začetku.
Therefore, the fall in consumption is provisionally found not to break the casual link between the dumped imports and the material injury.
Javilo pa se je veliko distributerjev, ki so izrazili svoje mnenje.
The other identified factors such as imports from third countries, export performance of the Union industry and the competition from substitute products were provisionally not found to break the causal link established above, even considering their possible combined effect.
Vendar jih je le nekaj predložilo bolj utemeljene podatke, ki so omogočili poglobljeno analizo.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded at this stage that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from India and the other factors, considered individually or collectively, did not break the causal link.
V preiskavi je sodelovalo le nekaj končnih uporabnikov.
The injury consists mainly of the fall in the Union sales, the loss of market share by the EU industry, low capacity utilisation rate and low profitability.
Več zainteresiranih strani (predvsem distributerji izdelkov industrije Unije in združenja delavcev v kovinski industriji) se je strinjalo s preiskavo in zahtevalo ponovno vzpostavitev poštene konkurence, obžalovali so škodljivi položaj industrije Unije in trdili, da bi proizvodna zmogljivost industrije Unije prenehala obstajati, delovna mesta v Uniji pa bi bila izgubljena, če se dajatve ne bi uvedle.
UNION INTEREST
Distributerji zadevnega izdelka, uvoženega iz Indije, in več končnih uporabnikov, tj. družb za oskrbo z vodo, kanalizacijo in namakanje, so nasprotovali uvedbi ukrepov.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the imposition of anti-dumping measures would be against the Union interest.
Izrazili so pomisleke o tem, da bi skupina SG PAM Group dobila skoraj monopolni položaj na trgu Unije, če bi se uvoz iz Indije zmanjšal zaradi uvedbe ukrepov, kar pa bi povzročilo zvišanje cen.
It gave special consideration to the need to eliminate the trade distorting effects of injurious dumping and to restore effective competition.
Skupina SG PAM Group ima na trgu Unije zelo močen položaj.
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.
Vendar obstaja več dejavnikov, ki očitno zmanjšujejo njeno tržno moč.
Interest of the Union industry
Prvi dejavnik sta druga dva proizvajalca Unije, ki imata proste zmogljivosti in lahko zagotovita učinkovito konkurenco, če cene skupine SG PAM Group postanejo previsoke.
The Union industry's production plants are located in France, Germany, Spain and Austria.
Poleg tega je v tretjih državah (Kitajska, Turčija, Rusija in Švica) več proizvajalcev, ki že prodajajo na trg EU.
The Union industry employed directly more than 2400 employees in the production and sales of the product concerned.
Njihov obseg prodaje je bil v obravnavanem obdobju majhen in se je zmanjševal.
Two out of three producers cooperated with the investigation.
Vendar je videti, da je bil glavni razlog za tako zmanjšanje prodaje drugih uvoznikov agresivna konkurenca indijskih proizvajalcev.
The non-cooperating producer did not oppose the initiation of the investigation.
Indijske dampinške cene so bile bistveno nižje od cen vseh drugih pomembnih držav uvoznic (z izjemo Rusije).
As demonstrated above, the two cooperating companies experienced material injury and were negatively affected by the dumped imports.
Če bi industrija Unije enostransko zvišala cene, bi se lahko uvoz iz drugih držav kratko- do srednjeročno povečal, saj so izvozniki iz drugih držav že prisotni v Uniji.
It is expected that the imposition of provisional anti-dumping 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.
Povprečna uvozna cena v EUR
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.
Švica
In the absence of measures, a further deterioration of the Union industry's economic situation appears very likely.
Rusija
It is therefore provisionally concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping duties would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Turčija
Interest of unrelated importers, distributors, users and other interested parties
Sklep o interesu Unije
No unrelated importers made themselves known within the time limits set out in the Notice of Initiation.
Komisija je na podlagi navedenega sklenila, da v tej fazi preiskave ni utemeljenih razlogov, zaradi katerih uvedba ukrepov za uvoz cevi iz nodularnega litega železa s poreklom iz Indije ne bi bila v interesu Unije.
Many distributors came forward and expressed their views.
Komisija bo v zaključni fazi kljub temu še naprej preiskovala morebitne učinke na konkurenco na trgu Unije na podlagi dodatnih informacij, ki jih bo prejela.
However very few of them submitted more substantiated data enabling an in-depth analysis.
ZAČASNI PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
Only a few final users participated in the investigation.
Glede na sklepe Komisije o dampingu, škodi, vzročni zvezi in interesu Unije bi bilo treba uvesti začasne ukrepe, da se prepreči, da bi dampinški uvoz še naprej povzročal škodo industriji Unije.
Several interested parties (mainly distributors of the Union industry's products and associations of metal industry workers) were in favour of the investigation, demanding the restoration of fair competition, deploring the injurious state of the Union industry and claiming that if the duties were not imposed, the Union production capacity was bound to disappear and the Union's employment lost.
Stopnja odprave škode (stopnja škode)
Distributors of the product concerned imported from India as well as several end-users i.e. water, sewerage and irrigation utilities opposed the imposition of measures.
Pri določitvi stopnje ukrepov je Komisija najprej analizirala višino dajatve, ki bi bila potrebna za odpravo škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
They voiced their concerns that SG PAM Group would get a quasi-monopolistic position on the Union market if the Indian imports are reduced due to the imposition of measures, resulting in an increase in prices.
Škoda bi bila odpravljena, če bi industrija Unije lahko krila svoje proizvodne stroške in ustvarila dobiček pred obdavčitvijo, ki bi ga taka industrija v tem sektorju od prodaje podobnega izdelka na trgu Unije lahko razumno ustvarila v običajnih konkurenčnih pogojih, tj. brez dampinškega uvoza.
SG PAM Group has a very strong market position in the Union market.
Pritožnik trdi, da industrija pričakuje dobičkonosnost nad 12 %, če ni dampinškega uvoza, saj je takšno dobičkonosnost dosegala v letih pred obravnavanim obdobjem.
However there are several factors that appear to counter its market power.
Pritožnik trdi tudi, da je dvomestna dobičkonosnost utemeljena z visoko stopnjo porabe za raziskave in razvoj.
First, there are two other Union producers with spare capacities, who can ensure effective competition in case SG PAM's prices become excessive.
Preiskava je pokazala le malo dokazov o intenzivni dejavnosti na področju raziskav in razvoja, saj so odhodki za raziskave in razvoj v primeru proizvajalca Unije, ki je imel najvišje odhodke za raziskave in razvoj, leta 2011 pomenili manj kot 2 % prihodkov od prodaje, v obdobju preiskave pa še manj.
Second, there are several producers located in third countries (China, Turkey, Russia, and Switzerland) who are already selling to the EU market.
V prejšnjih preiskavah v zvezi s podobnimi izdelki, tj. nekaterimi brezšivnimi cevmi iz nerjavnega jekla [5] ter nekaterimi varjenimi cevmi in votlimi profili iz železa ali nelegiranega jekla [6], se je štelo, da bi se lahko 5-odstotna stopnja dobička obravnavala kot ustrezna stopnja, ki naj bi jo industrija Unije dosegla, če ne bi bilo škodljivega dampinga.
Their sales volumes during the period considered were low and declining.
Cevi iz nodularnega litega železa so v številnih pogledih podobne brezšivnim jeklenim cevem ter varjenim cevem iz železa ali nelegiranega jekla, saj surovo železo predstavlja velik del stroškov njihove proizvodnje, uporabljajo pa se lahko tudi za prenos vode.
However, the main cause of such a decline in other importers sales appears to have been an aggressive competition from the Indian producers.
Zato se začasno šteje, da je 5-odstotna stopnja dobičkonosnosti razumna tudi za industrijo cevi iz nodularnega litega železa.
The Indian dumped prices were much below the prices of all other major importing countries (with the exception of Russia).
Komisija je nato določila stopnjo odprave škode na podlagi primerjave med tehtano povprečno uvozno ceno sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, kot je bila ugotovljena za izračune nelojalnega nižanja cen, in tehtano povprečno neškodljivo ceno podobnega izdelka, ki sta ga sodelujoča proizvajalca Unije prodajala na trgu Unije v obdobju preiskave.
In case the Union industry unilaterally increases prices, the imports from other countries may increase on the short-medium term, given that those exporters have already presence in the Union.
Kakršna koli razlika, ki izhaja iz te primerjave, je bila izražena kot odstotek tehtane povprečne uvozne vrednosti CIF.
