Concerning the claims on the costs, the investigation confirmed that the analogue country producer switched to a different production method in the past years.
Glede trditev o stroških je preiskava potrdila, da je proizvajalec v primerljivi državi v preteklih letih začel uporabljati drug način proizvodnje.
However, the investigation did not confirm any significant increase in costs, due to a different production method, which would justify an adjustment.
Vendar v preiskavi ni bilo potrjeno kakršno koli znatno povečanje stroškov zaradi drugačnega načina proizvodnje, ki bi upravičevalo prilagoditev.
For the sampled cooperating exporting producers, the Commission compared the weighted average normal value of each type of the like product in the analogue country (see recitals 46 to 50 above) with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned, in accordance with Article 2(11) and (12) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 2(11) in (12) osnovne uredbe za vzorčene sodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike tehtano povprečno normalno vrednost vsake vrste podobnega izdelka iz primerljive države (glej uvodne izjave od (46) do (50)) primerjala s tehtano povprečno izvozno ceno ustrezne vrste zadevnega izdelka.
On this basis, the provisional weighted average dumping margins expressed as a percentage of the CIF Union frontier price, duty unpaid, are as follows:
Na podlagi tega so začasne tehtane povprečne stopnje dampinga, izražene kot odstotek cene CIF meja Unije brez plačane dajatve, naslednje:
On this basis, the provisional dumping margin of the cooperating exporting producers outside the sample is 262,93 %.
Začasna stopnja dampinga sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki niso vključeni v vzorec, je tako 262,93 %.
For all other exporting producers in the country concerned, the Commission established the dumping margin on the basis of the facts available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe stopnjo dampinga za vse druge proizvajalce izvoznike v zadevni državi določila na osnovi dostopnih dejstev.
The level of cooperation is high because the imports of the cooperating exporting producers constituted around 90 % of the total exports to the Union during the investigation period.
Stopnja sodelovanja je visoka, ker je uvoz sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov predstavljal okrog 90 % celotnega izvoza v Unijo v obdobju preiskave.
On this basis, the Commission decided to base the residual dumping margin at the level of the sampled cooperating exporting producer with the highest dumping margin.
Komisija je na podlagi tega sklenila, da bo preostalo stopnjo dampinga določila na ravni vzorčenega sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika z najvišjo stopnjo dampinga.
The provisional dumping margin, expressed as a percentage of the CIF Union frontier price, duty unpaid, are as follows:
Začasne stopnje dampinga, izražene kot odstotek cene CIF meja Unije brez plačane dajatve, so naslednje:
Non-sampled cooperating companies
Nevzorčene sodelujoče družbe
All other companies
Vse druge družbe:
The like product was manufactured by one producer in the Union during the investigation period, Ajinomoto Sweeteners Europe SAS (‘ASE’).
Podobni izdelek je v obdobju preiskave izdeloval en proizvajalec Unije, tj. Ajinomoto Sweeteners Europe S.A.S („ASE“).
On 15 October 2015 ASE was purchased by Hyet Holding BV and consequently the name of the Union producer has changed to Hyet Sweet SAS (‘Hyet’).
Družbo ASE je dne 15. oktobra 2015 kupila družba Hyet Holding B.V., zato se je proizvajalec Unije preimenoval v Hyet Sweet S.A.S („Hyet“).
The new owner has confirmed its full support for the ongoing investigation.
Novi lastnik je potrdil svojo polno podporo tekoči preiskavi.
Hyet therefore constitutes the Union industry within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Hyet torej predstavlja industrijo Unije v smislu člena 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
Consumption in the Union was based on the sales of the Union producer and imports from the PRC.
Potrošnja Unije je temeljila na prodaji proizvajalca Unije in uvozu iz LRK.
Apart from the Union, the PRC and Japan, aspartame is currently only produced in South Korea.
Razen v Uniji, LRK in na Japonskem se aspartam trenutno proizvaja le še v Južni Koreji.
Based on the information available [4] there were no or only insignificant imports of aspartame into the Union market from Japan, Korea or the US throughout the period considered.
Pritožnik je predložil statistične podatke o kitajski prodaji v Unijo v obravnavanem obdobju, ki jih je zbrala kitajska družba za raziskave CCM Information science and technology Co., Ltd („družba CCM“) [5].
Currently aspartame is classified in Eurostat under several CN codes containing many other chemicals and for this reason Eurostat data is not suitable for establishing import volumes.
Te informacije so bile navzkrižno preverjene s podatkovno zbirko kitajskega izvoza, v kateri pa zadevni podatki niso bili na voljo za celotno obravnavano obdobje.
The complainant provided statistics on Chinese sales to the Union for the period considered from a Chinese-based research company, CCM Information Science and Technology Co., Ltd (‘CCM’) [5].
Glede na to, da so se podatki v obeh podatkovnih zbirkah za leti 2013 in 2014 ter za obdobje preiskave ujemali, je bilo sklenjeno, da se uporabi podatke družbe CCM, ki zajemajo celotno obravnavano obdobje.
This information was cross-checked with the Chinese export database, in which however the relevant data was not available for the whole period considered.
Na podlagi tega se je potrošnja Unije gibala na naslednji način:
Since for 2013, 2014 and the investigation period the figures reported in the two databases matched it was decided to use the data provided by CCM covering the whole period considered.
Preglednica 1
Based on the above, the Union consumption developed as follows:

V obravnavanem obdobju se je potrošnja Unije zmanjšala za 12 %.
Total Union consumption — Index
Glede na tržne informacije, zbrane pri pritožniku in uporabnikih, so razlog za to zlasti zdravstveni pomisleki glede aspartama, zaradi katerih so nekateri uporabniki začeli uporabljati druga sladila, kot so kalijev acesulfam („ACE-K“), stevia ali sukraloza.
Union consumption decreased by 12 % during the period considered.
Uvoz iz LRK
According to market knowledge obtained from the complainant and the users, this is mainly due to health concerns over aspartame, which led to some users switching to other sweeteners such as acesulfame potassium (‘ACE-K’), stevia or sucralose.
Obseg in tržni delež uvoza iz LRK
Imports from the PRC
Uvoz v Unijo in tržni delež kitajskega uvoza sta se gibala na naslednji način:
Imports into the Union and market share of the Chinese imports developed as follows:

Market share of imports from the PRC — Index
Tržni delež kitajskega uvoza je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju ostal stabilen in sicer okrog 50–70 % potrošnje Unije.
Over the period considered import volumes from the PRC decreased by 12 %, the same as the decrease of the overall Union consumption as mentioned in recital 73 above.
Cene uvoza iz LRK
The market share of the Chinese imports remained stable, in the range of 50 %-70 % of Union consumption throughout the period considered.
Povprečna cena uvoza iz LRK na tono se je gibala tako:

Nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen
The average prices of imports from the PRC have decreased by 12 % throughout the period considered.
Komisija je nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen v obdobju preiskave določila tako, da je primerjala:
Price undercutting
tehtane povprečne prodajne cene proizvajalca Unije, zaračunane nepovezanim strankam na trgu Unije za vrste izdelka, ki so jih v Unijo izvažali kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, in prilagojenih na raven cene franko tovarna, ter
The Commission determined the price undercutting during the investigation period by comparing:
ustrezne tehtane povprečne cene za posamezno uvoženo vrsto izdelka sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, zaračunanih prvi neodvisni stranki na trgu Unije in določenih na podlagi CIF (stroški, zavarovanje in prevoznina) z ustreznimi prilagoditvami za carinske dajatve v višini 6,5 % in stroške po uvozu.
the weighted average sales prices of the Union producer charged to unrelated customers on the Union market for the product types exported to the Union by the Chinese exporting producers, adjusted to an ex-works level, and
Za zagotovitev zadostnega ujemanja med vrstami izdelka, ki jih prodaja industrija Unije, in tistimi, ki jih prodajajo kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, je bil obseg kontrolnih številk izdelka zmanjšan s parametroma velikosti in vrste embalaže.
the corresponding weighted average prices per product type of the imports from the cooperating exporting producers to the first independent customer on the Union market, established on a cost, insurance, freight (CIF) basis, with appropriate adjustments for customs duties of 6,5 % and post-importation costs.
Preiskava je potrdila, da navedena parametra nista bistveno vplivala na ceno izdelka na tono.
In order to have sufficient matching between the product types sold by the Union industry and by the Chinese exporting producers the product control number was reduced with the parameters on packaging size and packaging type.
Tehtana povprečna cena industrije Unije za posamezno vrsto izdelka je bila primerjana z ustrezno tehtano povprečno ceno za posamezno uvoženo vrsto izdelka sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
The investigation confirmed that the price per ton is not influenced significantly by these two parameters.
Rezultat primerjave je bil izražen kot odstotek prihodkov proizvajalca Unije v obdobju preiskave.
The weighted average Union industry's price per product type was compared with the corresponding weighted average prices per product type of the imports from the cooperating exporting producers.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je povprečna stopnja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen znašala 21,1 %.
The result of the comparison was expressed as a percentage of the turnover of the Union producer during the investigation period.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
The Commission found an average undercutting margin of 21,1 %.
Splošne opombe
Economic situation of the Union industry
V skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe je preiskava učinka dampinškega uvoza na industrijo Unije vključevala oceno vseh gospodarskih kazalnikov, ki so vplivali na stanje industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
General remarks
Zaradi spoštovanja zaupnih poslovnih podatkov je bilo treba informacije v zvezi z edinim proizvajalcem Unije predstaviti v indeksirani obliki.
In accordance with Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the examination of the impact of the dumped imports on the Union industry included an evaluation of all economic indicators having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered.
Kazalniki škode
In order to respect confidential business information, it has been necessary to present the information concerning the sole Union producer in an indexed form.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Injury indicators
Celotna proizvodnja Unije, proizvodna zmogljivost [7] in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibale na naslednji način:
The total Union production, production capacity [7] and capacity utilisation developed over the period considered as follows:
Podatki industrije Unije
Table 4
Obseg proizvodnje – indeks
Data provided by Union industry
Proizvodna zmogljivost – indeks
Production volume — Index
Izkoriščenost proizvodnje – indeks
Production capacity — Index
Obseg proizvodnje industrije Unije je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju nenehno in strmo padal, tako da se je zmanjšal za 42 %.
Capacity utilisation — Index
Od leta 2013 je moral proizvajalec Unije za zmanjšanje stroškov uvesti dvomesečne ustavitve proizvodnih obratov vsako leto namesto standardnih 3-tedenskih zaustavitev zaradi vzdrževanja na vsakih 18 mesecev.
The volume of production of the Union industry decreased consistently and sharply throughout the period considered by 42 %.
Proizvodna zmogljivost industrije Unije je v obravnavanem obdobju ostala nespremenjena, zato se je izkoriščenost zmogljivosti zmanjšala sorazmerno z obsegom proizvodnje.
As from 2013 the Union producer had to introduce two-month shut-downs of the production facilities in order to cut costs as opposed to the standard three weeks per 18 months closure for maintenance.
Obseg prodaje in tržni delež
The production capacity of the Union industry remained unchanged throughout the period considered and consequently, the capacity utilisation decreased in line with the volume of production.
Obseg prodaje industrije Unije nepovezanim strankam v Uniji in njen tržni delež sta se gibala, kot je prikazano v spodnji tabeli:
The Union industry's volume of sales in the Union to unrelated customers and its market share developed as shown in the table below:
Obseg prodaje na trgu Unije – indeks
Table 5
Tržni delež
Sales volume on the Union market — Index
V obravnavanem obdobju se je obseg prodaje industrije Unije skupaj zmanjšal za 12 %.
Market share
Kot je razvidno iz statističnih podatkov, se je kitajski obseg prodaje zmanjšal za enak delež (glej uvodno izjavo (74)), kar pomeni, da so si kitajski proizvajalci in proizvajalec Unije enakomerno delili (vsak po 12 %) izgubo zaradi zmanjšanja potrošnje Unije.
Over the period considered the volume of sales of the Union industry dropped overall by 12 %.
Zaradi tega je tudi tržni delež proizvajalca Unije v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju ostal stabilen in se gibal v razponu od 30 % do 50 %.
As it can be seen from the statistics, Chinese sales volume decreased by the same percentage (see recital 74 above) meaning that the Chinese producers and the Union producer shared equally (each by 12 %) the loss in sales due to the fall in Union consumption.
Zaposlenost
Consequently, the market share of the Union producer remained stable as well throughout the period considered in the range of 30 % to 50 %.
Zaposlenost, produktivnost in stroški dela so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibali na naslednji način:
Employment
Preglednica 6
Employment, productivity and labour cost developed over the period considered as follows:

Produktivnost (v tonah na zaposlenega) – indeks

Povprečni stroški dela na zaposlenega – indeks
Productivity (ton per employee) — Index
Od leta 2011 do konca obdobja preiskave je industrija Unije zmanjšala število zaposlenih za 7 % in zaradi zelo velikega zmanjšanja proizvodnje, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi (84), se je produktivnost zmanjšala za skupno 37 %.
Average labour costs per employee — Index
Industrija Unije je pojasnila, da je nadaljnje zmanjšanje števila zaposlenih težavno tako zaradi neprekinjenega proizvodnega procesa, kakor tudi zaradi ustreznih odpravnin.
From 2011 to the end of the investigation period, the Union industry reduced its personnel by 7 % and in light of the very sharp decline in production as described in recital 84 above, productivity declined by 37 % in total.
V vsakem primeru je industrija Unije uspela zmanjšati skupne stroške dela s prisilno zaustavitvijo proizvodnje, tako da so povprečni stroški dela na zaposlenega v obravnavanem obdobju ostali sorazmerno stabilni.
The Union industry explained that further reduction in the number of employees is difficult due to the continuous production process as well as the applicable severance payments.
Višina stopnje dampinga in okrevanje po preteklem dampingu
In any case, the Union industry managed to reduce the total labour costs by the forced shut-down of production and so the average labour costs per employee remained relatively stable during the period considered.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (67), so bile vse stopnje dampinga znatne.
Magnitude of the dumping margin and recovery from past dumping
Višina dejanskih stopenj dampinga glede na obseg in cene uvoza iz LRK je znatno vplivala na industrijo Unije.
All dumping margins were significant as indicated in recital 67 above.
Protidampinške dajatve nikoli niso bile uvedene na aspartam s poreklom iz LRK.
The impact of the magnitude of the actual margins of dumping on the Union industry was substantial, given the volume and prices of imports from the PRC.
Protidampinške dajatve na aspartam s poreklom iz Japonske in ZDA so bile uvedene leta 1991 in so že davno potekle.
Anti-dumping duties have never been imposed on aspartame originating in the PRC.
Ocena učinkov preteklega dampinga zato v obravnavanem primeru ne pride v poštev.
Anti-dumping duties on aspartame originating in Japan and the US were imposed in 1991 and have expired a long time ago.
Cene in dejavniki, ki vplivajo na cene
Therefore, the assessment of effects of past dumping is not applicable in this case.
Tehtane povprečne prodajne cene na enoto industrije Unije za nepovezane stranke v Uniji so se gibale na naslednji način:
The weighted average unit sales price of the Union industry to unrelated customers in the Union developed as follows:
Prodajne cene in stroški prodanega blaga industrije Unije

Stroški prodanega blaga na tono – indeks
Average sales price in the Union — Index
Povprečna prodajna cena industrije Unije za podobni izdelek se je v obravnavanem obdobju znižala za 7 %.
Cost of goods sold per ton — Index
Gibanje cen surovin, kot je podrobno opisano v uvodni izjavi (110) deloma pojasni to znižanje cene, vendar, kot je dodatno pojasnjeno v oddelku 5 spodaj, to ni edina razlaga za njeno znižanje.
The Union industry's average selling price of the like product fell by 7 % in the period considered.
Zaradi znatnega zmanjšanja obsega proizvodnje so se stroški na enoto prodanega blaga v obravnavanem obdobju povečali za 22 %.
The price development of raw materials as described in detail in recital 110 partly explains this price decrease however it is not the sole explanation as further discussed in Section 5 below.
Donosnost, denarni tok, naložbe, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala
Due to the significant decrease in production volume, the unit cost of the goods sold went up by 22 % during the period considered.
Preglednica 8 spodaj prikazuje gibanje donosnosti, denarnega toka, naložb in donosnosti naložb industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju:
Profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investments and ability to raise capital

Table 8 below shows the trends of profitability, cash flow, investments and return on investments of the Union industry over the period considered:

Komisija je donosnost industrije Unije določila tako, da je neto dobiček pred obdavčitvijo pri prodaji podobnega izdelka nepovezanim strankam v Uniji izrazila kot odstotek prihodkov od te prodaje.
Return on investments — Index
Kot je razvidno iz zgornje preglednice, je donosnost industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju strmo padla.
The Commission established the profitability of the Union industry by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales.
Velike spremembe v denarnem toku so tesno povezane s spremembami zalog.
As it can be seen from the table above, the profitability of the Union industry sharply declined during the period considered.
Zaradi težkega finančnega položaja industrije Unije so se v obravnavanem obdobju znatno zmanjšale tudi naložbe in njihova donosnost.
The big variations in cash flow are closely linked with the changes in inventories.
Industrija Unije je v skladu s francoskimi splošno sprejetimi računovodskimi načeli [9] v proračunskem letu 2012 [10] opravila rezervacijo za bistveno oslabitev.
Due to the difficult financial situation of the Union industry, investments and return on investments also decreased significantly during the period considered.
Ta oslabitev je temeljila na tržnih napovedih in je zajemala več kot znaten znesek.
The Union industry in line with the French GAAP [9] made a significant impairment booking in financial year 2012 [10].
Za namene te preiskave pa je bilo odločeno, da se te izjemne rezervacije ne upošteva, in sicer v izogib izkrivljanju trendov.
This impairment was based on a market forecast and consisted of a very significant amount.
Zaloge
For the purposes of this investigation however it was decided not to take this exceptional booking into account in order to avoid distorting the trends.
Zaloge industrije Unije so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibale na naslednji način:
Stock levels of the Union industry developed over the period considered as follows:
Končne zaloge – indeks
Table 9
Končne zaloge kot delež proizvodnje – indeks
Closing stocks — Index
Čeprav se je v obravnavanem obdobju obseg končnih zalog zmanjšal zaradi daljših zaustavitev proizvodnih obratov, da bi zmanjšali stroške, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi (84), se je raven zalog, izražena kot delež proizvodnje, v primerjavi s proizvodnjo znatno povečala.
Closing stocks as a percentage of production — Index
Sklep o škodi
Although closing stocks fell in the period considered due to the longer shut downs of production facilities in order to cut costs as explained in recital 84 above, as a percentage of production the level of stocks increased significantly compared to production.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so se v obravnavanem obdobju poslabšali skoraj vsi gospodarski kazalniki razen tržnega deleža, ki je ostal stabilen.
Conclusion on injury
Močni negativni trendi so bili opaženi pri naslednjih gospodarskih kazalnikih:
The investigation showed that practically all economic indicators, with the exception of market share which remained stable, deteriorated during the period considered.
obseg proizvodnje, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje in prodajne cene na trgu Unije, denarni tok, naložbe, zaposlenost in produktivnost.
Significant negative trends were observed in the following economic indicators:
Zaradi združenega učinka zmanjšanja proizvodnje, ki je vodilo v povečanje stroškov na enoto prodanega blaga, in znižanja prodajnih cen se je donosnost industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju močno zmanjšala.
