The undertaking stipulates that any breach by an individual exporting producer does not automatically lead to the withdrawal of the acceptance of the undertaking for all exporting producers.
Odgovornost za navedene kršitve se pripiše samo trem zadevnim proizvajalcem izvoznikom.
In such a case, the Commission shall assess the impact of that particular breach on the practicability of the undertaking with the effect for all exporting producers and the CCCME.
S spremljanjem in preverjanjem niso bile razkrite nobene sistematične kršitve s strani velikega števila proizvajalcev izvoznikov ali CCCME.
The Commission has accordingly assessed the impact of the breaches by Canadian Solar, ET Solar, and ReneSola on the practicability of the undertaking with the effect for all exporting producers and the CCCME.
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da delovanje v skladu z zavezo na splošno ni ogroženo in da ni razlogov za umik sprejetja zaveze za vse proizvajalce izvoznike in CCCME.
The responsibility for those breaches lies alone with the three exporting producers in question; the monitoring and the verifications have not revealed any systematic breaches by a major number of exporting producers or the CCCME.
G. PISNA STALIŠČA IN ZASLIŠANJA
The Commission therefore concludes that the overall functioning of the undertaking is not affected and that there are no grounds for withdrawal of the acceptance of the undertaking for all exporting producers and the CCCME.
Zainteresirane strani so imele priložnost, da izrazijo svoja stališča in predložijo pripombe v skladu s členom 8(9) osnovne protidampinške uredbe in členom 13(9) osnovne protisubvencijske uredbe.
G. WRITTEN SUBMISSIONS AND HEARINGS
Družbe Canadian Solar, ET Solar in ReneSola so predložile pripombe in so izrazile svoja stališča.
Interested parties were granted the opportunity to be heard and to comment pursuant to Article 8(9) of the basic anti-dumping Regulation and Article 13(9) of the basic anti-subsidy Regulation.
CCCME se je prav tako udeležila zaslišanj.
Canadian Solar, ET Solar and ReneSola submitted comments and have been heard.
Pripombe je predložilo združenje, ki zastopa uvoznike in uporabnike zajetega izdelka, in združenje, ki zastopa proizvajalce Unije za solarne module in celice.
The CCCME also participated in the hearings.
Družba Canadian Solar je izpodbijala trditev, da v poročilih ni navedla nekaterih ugodnosti, ki jih je zagotovila več strankam, in da je z zagotavljanjem teh ugodnosti kršila MIP.
Comments were submitted from an association representing importers and users of the product covered and from an association representing the Union producers of solar modules and cells.
Trdi, da ni dolžna poročati o teh ugodnostih, in sicer iz treh razlogov:
Canadian Solar contested that they failed to report certain benefits that they provided to several customers and that by providing these, they violated the MIP.
Prvič, ker so te ugodnosti del prodajnih, splošnih in upravnih stroškov njihovega kitajskega subjekta ter prodajni, splošni in administrativni stroški ne morejo hkrati predstavljati ugodnosti za kupce zajetega izdelka.
They argue that they were under no obligation to report these benefits, for three reasons:
Te kategorije bi se vzajemno izključevale.
First, that these benefits are part of the selling, general and administrative expenses (‘SG&A’) of their Chinese entity, and that any SG&A cannot, at the same time, constitute a benefit for purchasers of the product covered.
Drugič, ker bi bilo treba na podlagi smernic, ki so jih izdale službe Komisije, poročati le o ugodnostih, ki jih plačujejo povezane družbe v Uniji, in te ugodnosti odšteti od prodajnih cen.
Those categories would be mutually exclusive.
Tretjič, v vsakem primeru ti stroški ne pomenijo ugodnosti za kupce zajetega izdelka, ker plačila ustrezajo tržni vrednosti opravljenih storitev.
Second, that based on the guidance issued by the Commission's services only benefits paid by related companies in the Union should be reported and deducted from the sales price as benefits.
Komisija te trditve zavrača, ker je bila družba Canadian Solar zavezana k poročanju o kakršnih koli ugodnostih za stranke, vendar te zaveze ni spoštovala.
Third, that in any event, these expenses do not constitute a benefit for the purchasers of the product covered, because the payments correspond to the market value of the services rendered.
Svoje stališče utemeljuje z naslednjimi razlogi:
The Commission rejects those arguments as Canadian Solar was obliged to report any benefits given to customers and failed to do so.
V zavezi niso bile navedene nobene izjeme za ugodnosti, opredeljene kot prodajni, splošni in upravni stroški.
This is for the following reasons:
Dejansko lahko prodajni, splošni in administrativni stroški hkrati pomenijo ugodnost za kupca, če kupec prejme plačilo stroška, ki se uvršča med prodajne, splošne in administrativne stroške.
First, no exception for benefits classified as SG&A is mentioned in the undertaking.
Drugič, trditev družbe Canadian Solar predpostavlja, da plačila dejansko ustrezajo tržni vrednosti opravljenih storitev.
Indeed, SG&A can at the same time be a benefit for the purchaser, where the purchaser receives payment of a cost classified as SG&A.
Družba Canadian Solar v zvezi s tem ni predložila zadostnih dokazov.
Second, the argument of Canadian Solar presupposes that the payments correspond indeed to the market value of services rendered.
Čeprav bi plačila ustrezala tržni vrednosti, quod non, to ne pomeni, da plačila na podlagi take uvrstitve ne pomenijo ugodnosti za prejemnika, v tem primeru stranke družbe Canadian Solar, če obstaja jasna povezava med nakupom storitve in prodajo zajetega izdelka.
Canadian Solar has provided no sufficient proof in that regard.
Tretjič, družba Canadian Solar navaja smernice, ki so jih izdale službe Komisije, ne da bi upoštevala sobesedilo.
Furthermore, even if they did correspond to the market value, quod non, this does not mean that payments under such a classification do not confer a benefit to the recipient, in this case the client of Canadian Solar, where there is a clear link between buying the service and selling the product covered.
V nasprotju z mnenjem družbe Canadian Solar, ti stroški pomenijo ugodnosti za kupce.
Third, Canadian Solar quotes the guidance issued by the Commission's services out of context.
Dejstva, da so omenjeni zgolj kot ugodnosti v odgovoru na vprašanje glede povezanih družb v Uniji, ni mogoče uporabiti a contrario, da se izključi možnost, da taki stroški, kakor jih je plačal kitajski subjekt, pomenijo koristi.
Contrary to the view of Canadian Solar, these expenses do constitute benefits for the purchasers.
Ekonomski ali pravni razlogi, v skladu s katerimi bi bilo treba take stroške kitajskega subjekta obravnavati drugače od stroškov iste vrste, ki jih imajo povezane družbe v Uniji, ne obstajajo.
The fact that they are only mentioned as benefits in an answer to a question concerning related companies in the Union cannot be relied upon a contrario to exclude that such expenses paid by the Chinese entity constitute benefits.
Četrtič, smernice, ki so jih izdale službe Komisije, vsebujejo izjavo o omejitvi odgovornosti, in sicer v skladu s to izjavo smernice Komisije ne zavezujejo, odgovori v smernicah, ki jih izdajo službe Komisije, pa se ne nanašajo na posamezne primere in temeljijo na omejenih informacijah.
There is no economic or legal rationale for treating such expenses of the Chinese entity differently from the same type of expenses of the related companies in the Union.
Iz teh razlogov smernice za Komisijo niso zavezujoče.
Fourth, the guidance issued by the Commission's services has a disclaimer that it cannot bind the Commission and that the replies in the guidance issued by the Commission's services are not individualised and based on limited information.
Komisija zato potrjuje svoj sklep, da je družba Canadian Solar kršila svoje obveznosti o poročanju na podlagi zaveze in da je prav tako kršila obveznost spoštovanja MIP, saj so se prodajne cene v transakcijah z zadevnimi strankami spustile pod MIP, ko so bile ugodnosti odštete.
For these reasons, the guidance has no binding value for the Commission.
Družba Canadian Solar je prav tako zagovarjala svojo vzporedno prodajo izdelkov, ki so bili zajeti z zavezo in tistih, ki z zavezo niso bili zajeti, istim strankam v obsegu, ki je presegel omejitev vzporedne prodaje, kakor je dovoljena z zavezo.
The Commission therefore upholds its conclusion that Canadian Solar has breached their reporting obligation under the undertaking and that they also breached their obligation to respect the MIP, as deducting those benefits from the sales price in the transactions with the customers concerned decreased those prices below the MIP.
Družba Canadian Solar je navedla, da je takoj po začetku veljavnosti zaveze najprej prodala svojo zalogo izdelkov, pretežno s poreklom iz LRK, ki so bili že uvoženi in carinjeni, ne da bi bili predmet ukrepov, ter nato skladiščeni.
Canadian Solar defended also their parallel sales of products covered and not covered by the undertaking to the same customers above the parallel sales limit authorised by the undertaking.
Šele ko so bile zaloge porabljene, je družba Canadian Solar istim strankam prodala izdelke, zajete z zavezo.
Canadian Solar submitted that right after the entry into force of the undertaking, they first sold their stock of products predominantly originating in the PRC which was imported and customs cleared without having been subject to the measures and then stockpiled.
Družba Canadian Solar poleg tega trdi, da strankam, ki so kupile module, ki jih proizvajajo proizvajalci originalne opreme in so poslani iz tretjih držav, ni nikoli prodajala izdelkov, ki so zajeti z zavezo.
Only once that stock had been exhausted, Canadian Solar sold products covered by the undertaking to the same customers.
Poleg tega se družba Canadian Solar sklicuje na smernice CCCME, v skladu s katerimi se celice in moduli, razen tistih, ki jih zajema zaveza, ne bi uvrstili med „vse druge vrste izdelka, ki ga družba proizvaja ali z njim trguje“.
Canadian Solar furthermore submits that customers that purchased OEM modules produced in and consigned from third countries were never sold products covered by the undertaking.
Trdi, da so službe Komisije šele v elektronski pošti z dne 12. decembra 2013 pojasnile, da to ne drži.
Furthermore, Canadian Solar refers to a guidance document issued by the CCCME, pursuant to which cells and modules other than those covered by the undertaking would not qualify as ‘any other type of product produced or traded by the company’.
Nazadnje, družba Canadian Solar trdi, da je njena prodaja izdelkov, ki so bili uvoženi in carinjeni, ne da bi bili predmet ukrepov, ter nato skladiščeni, izvzeta iz obveznosti v skladu z zavezo, da so bili moduli, ki niso bili zajeti z zavezo, prodani po približno enaki ceni kot je MIP, ter da so bile najprej porabljene zaloge ter se je šele nato začela prodaja zajetega izdelka.
They claim that it was only by e-mail of 12 December 2013 that the Commission's services clarified the opposite.
Iz teh razlogov ne vidijo tveganja navzkrižne kompenzacije.
Lastly, Canadian Solar claims that its sales of products imported and customs cleared without having been subject to the measures and then stockpiled are excluded from the obligations under the undertaking, that they sold modules not covered by the undertaking at a similar price as the MIP, and that they first liquidated stocks and only then sold the product covered.
Komisija ne more sprejeti teh trditev.
For those reasons, they do not see a risk of cross-compensation.
Iz razlogov, pojasnjenih v uvodni izjavi 46 zgoraj, smernice, na katere se sklicuje družba Canadian Solar, ne morejo zavezovati Komisije.
The Commission cannot accept those arguments.
Iz besedila in splošne strukture zaveze izhaja, da proizvajalec izvoznik eni in isti stranki ne more prodajati celic in modulov, zajetih z zavezo, in tistih, ki z zavezo niso zajeti, v obsegu, ki presega omejitev vzporedne prodaje, ki je dovoljena v skladu z zavezo.
For the reasons as set out in recital 46 above, the guidance referred to by Canadian Solar cannot bind the Commission.
To velja tudi v primeru modulov, ki so bili uvoženi in carinjeni, ne da bi bili predmet ukrepov, ter nato skladiščeni.
It is clear from the wording and the general scheme of the undertaking that the exporting producer cannot sell to one and the same customer cells and modules covered by the undertaking and cells and modules which are not covered the undertaking above the parallel sales limit authorised by the undertaking.
Dejansko je v primeru vzporedne prodaje modulov tveganje navzkrižne kompenzacije celo večje kot v primeru vzporedne prodaje katerega koli drugega izdelka.
This also applies to situations where modules were imported and customs-cleared without having been subject to the measures and then stockpiled.
Komisija ni dolžna dokazati obstoja navzkrižne kompenzacije, ampak pokazati, da obstaja tveganje navzkrižne kompenzacije s strani določenega proizvajalca izvoznika.
Indeed, in case of a parallel sale of modules, the risk of cross-compensation is even larger than in case of parallel sales of any other product.
Namen določb zaveze je preprečiti morebitno navzkrižno kompenzacijo, ker je nemogoče spremljati po kakšni ceni se prodajajo izdelki, ki niso zajeti z zavezo.
The Commission is not obliged to prove the existence of cross-compensation, but only to show that there is a risk of cross-compensation by a particular exporting producer.
Nazadnje, elektronska pošta z dne 12. decembra 2013 ni ustvarila novega pravnega položaja, ampak samo potrdila besedilo zaveze.
The provisions of the undertaking aim at preventing the possibility of cross-compensation, because it is impossible to monitor at what price products not covered by the undertaking are sold.
Družba Canadian Solar v navedbah, predloženih po zaslišanju, potrjuje, da je v letu 2013 prodajala module, ki so bili uvoženi in carinjeni, ne da bi bili predmet ukrepov, ter nato skladiščeni, istim strankam, ki jim je v istem letu prodajala tudi zadevni izdelek, ter da je vrednost prodaje modulov, ki so bili uvoženi in carinjeni, ne da bi bili predmet ukrepov, ter nato skladiščeni, več kot le marginalna.
Finally, the e-mail of 12 December 2013 did not create a new legal situation, but only confirmed the text of the undertaking.
V zvezi s trditvijo, da je družba Canadian Solar najprej prodala te module in šele nato zajeti izdelek, Komisija ugotavlja, da zaveza ne vsebuje nobene izjeme v zvezi z vrstnim redom prodaje.
Canadian Solar has confirmed in its post-hearing submission that they sold, in 2013, modules that were imported and customs-cleared without having been subject to the measures and then stockpiled to the same customers to whom they also, in the same year, sold the product concerned, and that the value of the former sales is more than marginal.
Komisija zato zavrača to trditev.
With regard to the argument that Canadian Solar first sold those modules, and then only the product covered, the Commission observes that the undertaking does not contain any exception on the basis of the order of sales.
Družba Canadian Solar je prav tako navedla, da je po začetku veljavnosti zaveze uvažala in naprej prodajala omejene količine modulov proizvajalcev originalne opreme, in da je medtem že ustavila nakup teh izdelkov za trg Unije.
The Commission therefore rejects this argument.
Dejansko je družba Canadian Solar potrdila, da je bila strategija v zvezi s proizvajalci originalne opreme razvita zato, da bi prilagodili svoj poslovni model zavezi, ker so bili moduli proizvajalcev originalne opreme uporabljeni za prodajo modulov, vključenih v komplet, pri čemer je vrednost drugih izdelkov iz kompleta presegla omejitev vzporedne prodaje, ki jo dovoljuje zaveza.
Canadian Solar also submitted that they imported and resold limited quantities of OEM modules after entry into force of the undertaking, and that they stopped purchasing these products for the Union market in the meantime.
Poleg tega je družba Canadian Solar navedla, da strankam, ki so kupile module, zajete z zavezo, ni prodajala modulov proizvajalcev originalne opreme.
Indeed, Canadian Solar confirmed that the OEM strategy has been developed in order to adapt their business model to the undertaking, because OEM modules were used for selling modules included in kits, where the value of the other products contained in the kit exceeds the parallel sales limit authorised by the undertaking.
Nazadnje, družba Canadian Solar trdi, da v zavezi prodaja modulov proizvajalcev originalne opreme ni izrecno prepovedana.
In addition, Canadian Solar submitted that they did not sell OEM modules to customers who purchased modules covered by the undertaking.
Komisija te trditve zavrača.
Lastly, Canadian Solar claims that the Undertaking does not expressly forbid sales of OEM modules.
Sicer se zaveza dejansko ne sklicuje izrecno na prodajo modulov proizvajalcev originalne opreme, vendar pa prodaja modulov proizvajalcev originalne opreme ni predmet zaveze, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 19 zgoraj.
The Commission rejects these arguments.
Zato prodaja proizvajalcev originalne opreme ne spada v okvir spremljanja s strani Komisije.
While the undertaking does indeed not expressly refer to sales of OEM modules, such OEM sales are not subject to the undertaking, as set out in recital 19 above.
Poleg tega je v zavezi jasno navedeno, da sprememba vzorca trgovanja v Unijo, ne da bi bila gospodarsko utemeljena, razen z izogibanjem ukrepom trgovinske zaščite, pomeni kršitev zaveze.
Hence OEM sales fall outside the scope of the monitoring by the Commission.
V zvezi s tem sta uvoz in nadaljnja prodaja modulov proizvajalcev originalne opreme v Unijo, ki ju je izvajala družba Canadian Solar, pomenila spremembo v vzorcu trgovanja, ki je bila zasnovana, da se vzorec trgovanja prilagodi tako, da se je mogoče izogniti pogojem zaveze.
Moreover, the undertaking clearly states that changing the pattern of trade to the Union without economic justification other than the avoidance of trade defence measures is a breach of the undertaking.
Poleg tega osnovna protidampinška uredba in osnovna protisubvencijska uredba ne vsebujeta nobene zahteve glede minimalnega deleža prodaje pri oceni kršitve zaveze.
In that respect, imports and re-sales of OEM modules into the Union by Canadian Solar constituted a change in the pattern of trade, designed to adapt the pattern of trade to circumvent the terms of the undertaking.
Zato Komisija ponovno ugotavlja, da je zaradi prodaje proizvajalcev originalne opreme kljub njenemu omejenemu obsegu, spremljanje spoštovanja zaveze s strani družbe Canadian Solar postalo praktično neizvedljivo, poleg tega pa ta prodaja pomeni kršitev zaveze, saj se je z njo spremenil vzorec trgovanja družbe Canadian Solar.
Moreover the basic anti-dumping Regulation and the basic anti-subsidy Regulation contain no requirement for a minimum percentage of sales in the assessment of a breach of an undertaking.
Nazadnje, družba Canadian Solar trdi, da je vedno ravnala v skladu z veljavnimi pravili in sprejela vse potrebne ukrepe za pravilno razlago in izvajanje zaveze.
Therefore the Commission upholds its finding that, although limited in scope, these OEM sales rendered the monitoring of Canadian Solar's undertaking impracticable, and, on top, constitute a breach of the undertaking since they changed Canadian Solar's pattern of trade.
Zlasti poudarja, da so družba in njeni pravni svetovalci na Komisijo in CCCME naslovili več kot 50 zahtevkov, da bi pridobili pojasnila o združljivosti ravnanja družbe Canadian Solar z zavezo, in da so vedno upoštevali vse nasvete, ki so jih prejeli.
Finally, Canadian Solar argues that they always complied with the applicable rules and took all reasonable steps to properly interpret and implement the undertaking.
Trditve družbe Canadian Solar ne vplivajo na splošno oceno, da so vse ugotovitve, zaradi katerih je zaveza družbe Canadian Solar neizvedljiva v praksi, škodovale odnosu zaupanja s Komisijo, s čimer je utemeljen umik zaveze.
In particular, they stress that they and their legal counsel made more than 50 requests to the Commission and the CCCME in order to seek clarification on compliance of Canadian Solar with the undertaking, and that they always complied with any advice they received.
Dejansko je bil namen komercialne strategije družbe Canadian Solar v praksi zmanjšati obseg obveznosti v okviru zaveze na minimum, ne glede na naravo zaveze in potrebo po ohranitvi zaupanja.
The submissions of Canadian Solar do not change the overall assessment that the accumulation of all findings for Canadian Solar harmed the relationship of trust with the Commission on the impracticability of Canadian Solar's undertaking, and as such justify the withdrawal.
Družba ET Solar je med zaslišanjem pojasnila, da ni poročala o prodaji zajetega izdelka, če je bila ta prodaja vključena v prodajo sončnega parka.
Indeed, the commercial strategy of Canadian Solar aimed at reducing the practical scope of its obligations under the undertaking to a minimum, regardless of the spirit of the undertaking and the need to preserve the relationship of trust.
Poleg tega je pojasnila, da so bili po začetku veljavnosti zaveze v mnogih primerih prodani moduli, ki so bili carinjeni (vendar ne prodani), ne da bi bili predmet ukrepov.
ET Solar clarified during the hearing that they had not reported sales of the product covered where those sales formed part of a solar park.
Pojasnila je tudi oblikovno napako in še en manjši popravek.
Furthermore, they explained that many sales that occurred after the entry into force of the undertaking concerned modules that were customs-cleared (but not sold) without having been subject to the measures.
Posledično se razlika med podatki o prodaji, ki so zabeleženi v evidencah družbe, in podatki o prodaji, ki so bili sporočeni, lahko šteje za marginalno.
They also explained a formatting error and another minor correction.
Družba ET Solar je ob isti priložnosti potrdila, da v poročilih Komisiji ni navedla teh domnevno marginalnih količin prodanih izdelkov, poleg tega je bila pomembna količina solarnih modulov carinjena, ne da bi bila predmet ukrepov, vendar ni bila prodana pred začetkom veljavnosti zaveze.
As a result, the gap between sales on the books of the company and sales reported could be considered marginal.
Pojasnilo o tem, ali so bili ti izdelki prodani istim strankam, ki so jim bili naknadno prodani zajeti izdelki, ni bilo predloženo.
ET Solar confirmed at the same occasion that they did omit to report these allegedly marginal quantities of sales to the Commission, and that significant quantities of solar modules were customs cleared without having been subject to the measures, but not sold prior to the entry into force of the undertaking.
Družba ET Solar je prav tako navedla, da prodaja sončnih parkov v skladu z zavezo ni prepovedana, saj gre za kompleksne, integrirane izdelke, ki bi jih bilo treba obravnavati kot posamezne enote, in kot taki niso zajeti z opredelitvijo „zajeti izdelek“.
No explanation was provided as to whether those sales took place to the same customers to whom sales of the product covered took subsequently place.
Zato družba ET Solar meni, da omejitev vzporedne prodaje v zvezi s prodajo „drugih izdelkov“, ki jo dovoljuje zaveza, ne velja za prodajo sončnih parkov, poleg tega pa meni, da o taki prodaji ni treba poročati.
ET Solar submitted also that sales of solar parks are not prohibited under the undertaking, as these are complex, integrated products that should be treated as a single unit and, as such, do not fall under the definition of the ‘product covered’.
Hkrati je potrdila, da je poročala o poslih znotraj skupine, ki so privedli do uvoza zajetega izdelka v Unijo.
Therefore, ET Solar considers that the parallel sales limit for the sale of ‘other products’ authorised by the undertaking is not applicable to sales of solar parks, and that such sales do not need to be reported.
Komisija iz naslednjih razlogov zavrača te trditve družbe ET Solar.
At the same time, they confirmed that the intra-group transactions that result in the import of the product covered into the Union were reported.
Obseg kršitve ni relevanten.
