The NBB claimed that the Commission should have explained how an increased production volume would decrease the costs of production of the US producers.
Stalne stroške je vseeno treba dodeliti skupnemu obsegu proizvodnje.
In this respect, it should from the outset be stated that due to the lack of cooperation, the Commission could not make a precise calculation regarding the impact of higher production volumes on the costs of US producers.
Informacije, ki jih je predložila industrija Unije, so pokazale, da so stroški surovin glavni stroški proizvodnje, vendar je točen delež odvisen od uporabljene surovine, mere, v kateri je družba vertikalno integrirana, ter prodajnih, splošnih in administrativnih stroškov (PSA) družbe.
However, it is clear from an economic point of view that if fixed costs are apportioned to a larger production volume, the unit cost of production decreases.
Zato lahko Komisija razumno domneva, da bi se zaradi večje proizvodnje znižali stroški proizvodnje proizvajalcev ZDA.
This holds true even if in the production of biodiesel the main part of the costs are variable and depend on the raw materials used, as alleged by NBB.
To ne bi veljalo le, če bi bila izvozna cena tako nizka, da ne bi krila niti cene uporabljene surovine, vendar nacionalni odbor za biodizel ni predložil pripomb, ki bi podpirale tak scenarij.
The fixed costs still need to be allocated to the total production volume.
Razmerje med izvoznimi cenami za tretje države in cenami v ZDA
Indeed, information obtained from the Union industry showed that the cost of feedstock is a major part of the cost of production, but the exact percentage depends on the feedstock used, to what extent a company is vertically integrated and the SG&A cost of a company.
Dodaten element, ki utemeljuje sklep, da se bo damping verjetno ponovil, temelji na analizi vzorca izvoznikov biodizla v ZDA v tretje države v OPP.
In these circumstances, the Commission could reasonably assume that an increased production would decrease the cost of production of the US producers.
Komisija je proučila zbirko podatkov Mednarodne komisije ZDA za trgovino in pridobila podatke o količinah in vrednostih izvoza biodizla pod kodo HTS 382600 za OPP.
This would only be different in case the export price would be so low that it would not even cover the price of feedstock used, but the NBB did not provide any comments that would support such scenario.
Izvozna količina (v metričnih tonah) je za vse države (tudi za EU) znašala 567018 ton.
Relationship between export prices to third countries and prices in the USA
Povprečna vrednost na metrično tono je v OPP znašala 753,34 EUR franko ob ladijski bok.
Another element that justifies the conclusion that dumping is likely to recur is based on the analysis of the pattern of US biodiesel exports to third countries during the RIP.
Komisija je izračunala povprečno prodajno ceno v USD na metrično tono in jo primerjala s povprečno domačo ceno v ZDA (določeno, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 42).
The Commission consulted the database of the United States International Trade Commission and extracted the quantities and values of the export of biodiesel under the HTS code 382600 for the RIP.
Ugotovitve so povzete v nadaljevanju:
The export quantities (in metric tonnes) to all countries (EU included) amount to 567018 tonnes.

The average value per metric tonne during the RIP was 753,34 EUR free alongside ship.
Obseg izvoza ZDA in izvozne cene v OPP
The Commission calculated an average sales price in US dollars per metric tonne and compared it with the average domestic price in the USA (established as explained in recital (42) above).

Preglednica kaže, da proizvajalci ZDA izdelek trenutno dozdevno prodajajo tretjim državam po dampinških cenah, saj so izvozne cene za 3–59 % nižje od domačih cen.
Total Canada
Ker proizvajalci ZDA trenutno prodajajo izdelek tretjim državam po dampinških cenah, je Komisija sklenila, da je verjetno, da ga bodo tudi v EU izvažali po dampinških cenah tako, da bodo nekaj trenutnega izvoza preusmerili na druge trge.
Total Australia
Po končnem razkritju je nacionalni odbor za biodizel dvomil o točnosti podatkov o izvozu, saj koda HTS, uporabljena za ocenjevanje obsega izvoza (38 26 00), vključuje tudi druge izdelke, zato izvozne cene ni mogoče primerjati z domačo ceno biodizla.
Total Malaysia
Komisija je uporabila to kodo, ker je vlada ZDA v drugem dodatnem izpolnjenem vprašalniku z dne 19. decembra 2014 navedla, da se ta koda od leta 2012 uporablja za zagotavljanje točnih statističnih informacij o izvozu biodizla ZDA.
The table shows that US producers appear to be currently selling to third countries at dumped prices, with export prices lower than domestic prices in the range from 3 % to 59 %.
Čeprav ta koda navaja previsoko vrednost zadevnega izvoženega izdelka, je precej točnejša od kod, ki so se uporabljale v preteklosti.
Therefore the Commission concluded that since US producers are currently selling to third countries at dumped prices, it is likely that they would export to the EU, by diverting some of their current exports to other markets, also at dumped prices.
Organi ZDA so sklenili, da koda razmeroma točno predstavlja izvozno vrednost.
Following final disclosure, the NBB questioned the accuracy of export data as the HTS code used for assessing the volume of exports (38 26 00) includes other products and therefore the export price cannot be compared to the domestic price of biodiesel.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je trdil, da domače cene, ki jo je izračunala Komisija, ni mogoče primerjati z izvoznimi cenami, navedenimi v zbirki podatkov Mednarodnega trgovinskega centra, zato se v skladu s tem stopnje dampinga, ki jih je izračunala Komisija, ne morejo uporabljati.
The Commission used this code because the US Government itself stated in its second supplementary questionnaire response dated 19 December 2014 that that code had been used from 2012 onwards in order to provide accurate statistical information on exports of US biodiesel.
V pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa ni treba izračunati novih stopenj dampinga.
Although this code overstates the value of the product concerned exported, it does so to a far lesser degree than the codes used in the past.
V tem primeru se je dampinški izvoz ustavil po uvedbi ukrepov, zato se je analiza osredotočala na verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinškega izvoza.
The US authorities concluded that that code provided a relatively accurate representation of the export value.
Ker proizvajalci ZDA niso sodelovali, je Komisija uporabila razpoložljiva dejstva.
The NBB claimed that the domestic prices calculated by the Commission cannot be compared with the export prices indicated in the ITC database and accordingly the dumping margins calculated by the Commission cannot be used.
V tem scenariju so pomembne izvozne cene za tretje države, ki se lahko uporabijo kot kazalnik za ocenjevanje, kaj se bi zgodilo, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
In an expiry review, no new dumping margins need to be calculated.
Natančneje, cilj primerjave med domačimi cenami in izvoznimi cenami za tretje države ni izračunati točne stopnje dampinga, temveč ugotoviti, ali je verjetno, da se bo damping ponovil, če bi obstoječi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
In the present case, following the imposition of measures, dumped exports came to a halt, so the analysis focused on the likelihood that dumped exports will resume.
Razmerje med izvoznimi cenami za tretje države in ravnjo cen v Uniji
In the absence of cooperation from US producers, the Commission made use of facts available.
Trg EU je privlačen trg za izvoz biodizla ZDA.
In this scenario, the export prices to third countries are relevant and can be used as an indicator to assess what will happen once measures lapse.
Na podlagi zbirke podatkov Mednarodne komisije ZDA za trgovino iz uvodne izjave 57 je povprečna izvozna cena v vse namembne kraje v OPP znašala 1021,52 (753,34 EUR) na metrično tono.
More specifically, the comparison between domestic prices and export prices to third countries does not aim to calculate exact dumping margins but give an indication of the likelihood of recurrence of dumping should existing measures be allowed to lapse.
Najvišja je bila povprečna izvozna cena za Kanado (1167,33 USD ali 860,86 EUR na metrično tono), najnižja povprečna izvozna cena pa je bila za Gibraltar (753,19 USD ali 555,45 EUR na metrično tono).
Relationship between export prices to third countries and the price level in the Union
Ta povprečna izvozna cena je nižja od povprečne cene biodizla, ki so ga proizvajalci Unije prodajali v Uniji v OPP (905 EUR na metrično tono).
The EU market is an attractive market of US exports of biodiesel.
Tudi če bi morali proizvajalci ZDA izdelek prodajati po ceni, ki je nižja od 905 EUR na tono, da bi prodrli na trg Unije, bi bila to še vedno spodbuda za preusmeritev dela trenutnega izvoza v tretje države na trg Unije, saj je privlačnejši od nekaterih trgov drugih tretjih držav.
Based on the database of the United States International Trade Commission referred to in recital (57) above, during the RIP the average export price to all destinations was USD 1021,52 (EUR 753,34) per metric tonne.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel in vlada ZDA sta trdila, da trenutni izvoz ZDA v druge države ne bi bil preusmerjen v Unijo, saj je največji enotni izvozni trg Kanada, na katerem so cene višje od cene franko tovarna v Uniji.
The highest average export price was to Canada (USD 1167,33 or EUR 860,86 per metric tonne) and the lowest average export price was to Gibraltar (USD 753,19 or EUR 555,45 per metric tonne).
Vendar se je Komisija sklicevala na „del trenutnega izvoza“ in ne na vsega.
This average export price is lower than the average price of biodiesel sold in the Union by Union producers during the RIP (EUR 905 per metric tonne).
Komisija ni trdila, da bi proizvajalci ZDA prenehali izvažati v Kanado in navedeno prodajo preusmerili v Unijo.
Even if US producers would have to sell at a price below EUR 905 per tonne to penetrate the Union market, they would still have an incentive to redirect some of the current exports to third countries towards the Union market, as it is more attractive than some other third countries' markets.
Res je, da bi se Kanada prav tako lahko štela za privlačen trg za proizvajalce ZDA, vendar je kanadski trg manjši od trga Unije [13], ki ostaja največji trg za biodizel na svetu.
The NBB and the US Government claimed that the current US export sales to third countries would not be diverted to the Union because the single largest export market is Canada where prices are higher than the ex-works price to the Union.
Nacionalni organ za biodizel je trdil tudi, da sedanji izvoz v Malezijo ne bi bil preusmerjen v Unijo, saj se potrošnja v Maleziji povečuje, poleg tega pa ni treba plačati carine za uvoz biodizla.
The Commission referred however to ‘some of the current export sales’ and not all of them.
Vendar se na podlagi povprečnih izvoznih cen ZDA za Malezijo, kot so navedene v zbirki podatkov Mednarodnega trgovinskega centra, zdi, da bi bila prodaja v Unijo za proizvajalce ZDA dobičkonosnejša od prodaje v Malezijo, tudi če se doda običajna carina.
The Commission did not claim that US producers would stop exporting to Canada and re-route those sales to the Union.
Kot je prikazano v preglednici 1, je bila izvozna cena za Malezijo v OPP znatno nižja od cene za Unijo.
Indeed, Canada could also be regarded as an attractive market for US producers, however it has a limited size compared to the Union market [13], which remains the biggest biodiesel market in the world.
Potrošnja v Maleziji se morda res povečuje, vendar bi se lahko povečala tudi proizvodnja v Maleziji, ki temelji zlasti na palmovem olju.
The NBB claimed also that current exports to Malaysia would not be diverted to the Union because consumption is growing there and there are no customs duties to be paid on imports of biodiesel.
Poleg tega se lahko razumno pričakuje, da bo v primeru povečanja potrošnje sosednja država Indonezija, ki ima znatno proizvodnjo biodizla, povečala izvoz v Malezijo.
However, based on the US average exports prices to Malaysia as they appear in the ITC database, it appears that selling to the Union would be more profitable for the US producers than selling to Malaysia, even if adding up ordinary customs duties.
Zato bi bilo treba to trditev zavrniti.
As shown in Table 1 above, during the RIP export prices to Malaysia were significantly lower than prices in the Union.
Neizkoriščene zmogljivosti
Also, consumption in Malaysia might be growing, but so might production in Malaysia, which is in particular based on palm oil.
Znatna neizkoriščena zmogljivost proizvajalcev ZDA je spodbuda za povečanje proizvodnje in prodajo biodizla po dampinških cenah na trgu EU.
In addition, it can reasonably be expected that the neighbouring country of Indonesia, which has a significant biodiesel production, will increase export to Malaysia in case consumption will grow.
Zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja proizvajalcev ZDA je Komisija določila proizvodno zmogljivost ZDA na podlagi informacij, ki so na voljo na spletnih mestih Agencije Združenih držav Amerike za varstvo okolja in Uprave ZDA za energetske informacije.
Therefore this claim should be rejected.
Proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA morajo navedenima organoma (na letni oziroma mesečni ravni) poročati o obstoječi in načrtovani proizvodni zmogljivosti ter proizvodnji, vložku, zalogah in prodaji biodizla.
Unused capacities
Na podlagi podatkov Uprave za energetske informacije je zmogljivost proizvajalcev biodizla v ZDA v OPP znašala 7128000 ton.
The significant spare capacity of the US producers presents an incentive to increase production and sell biodiesel at dumped prices to the EU market.
Ta količina je zelo podobni količini, ki jo je navedel nacionalni odbor za biodizel na podlagi informacij, ki so jih njegovi člani predložili Agenciji za varstvo okolja, in ki je znašala 6963000 ton.
Due to the lack of US producers' cooperation, the Commission established the US production capacity on the basis of the available information on the websites of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and of the US Energy Information Administration (EIA).
Dejanska proizvodnja biodizla v ZDA je v OPP znašala 4450000 ton (podatki Uprave za energetske informacije), kar ustreza 62,4-odstotni izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti in 37,6-odstotni neizkoriščeni zmogljivosti, ki znaša 2678000 ton.
US biodiesel producers must report to these two authorities (respectively on a yearly and a monthly basis) their existing and planned production capacity, as well as their production, input, stocks and sales of biodiesel.
Ta neizkoriščena zmogljivost bi se verjetno uporabila za oskrbo trga Unije, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati.
On the basis of EIA's data, the US biodiesel producers' capacity during the RIP was 7128000 tonnes.
Proizvajalci ZDA lahko zlahka povečajo svojo proizvodnjo in jo izvozijo v EU, kar bi jim prineslo gospodarsko korist, saj bi se povečala stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, poleg tega pa bi se zmanjšali stroški proizvodnje na enoto.
This volume is very close to the volume provided by the NBB based on the information submitted by its members to the EPA, that is 6963000 tonnes.
Sprostitev neizkoriščene zmogljivosti ZDA na trg Unije bi imela znaten učinek, saj je že v OPP znašala skoraj 22 % potrošnje Unije.
The US actual production of biodiesel during the RIP was 4450000 tonnes (EIA's data), which corresponds to a capacity utilisation of 62,4 % and a spare capacity of 37,6 %, that is 2678000 tonnes.
V zvezi s to zadevo je nacionalni odbor za biodizel predložil številne pripombe.
This spare capacity is likely to be used to supply the Union market should measures be allowed to lapse.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je izpostavil, da bi bila dejanska proizvodna zmogljivost ZDA manjša od tiste, ki jo je navedla Komisija.
Indeed, the US producers can easily increase their production and export it to the EU with the economic benefit of the increase in capacity utilisation ratio and reduction of unit cost of production.
Trdil je, da so številni obrati v ZDA sicer registrirani, vendar so dejansko nedejavni, zato dejanska proizvodna zmogljivost znaša 5409000 ton.
The release in the Union market of the US spare capacity would have a significant impact as it amounts to nearly 22 % of the Union consumption during the RIP.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je prav tako sporočil večjo proizvodnjo biodizla v OPP, ki je znašala 5084000 ton.
In this respect, the NBB submitted a number of comments.
Zato je trdil, da izkoriščenost zmogljivosti znaša približno 94 % in da ni veliko neizkoriščene zmogljivosti, ki bi se lahko izvozila v EU, če bi se ukrepi razveljavili.
First, the NBB pointed out that the US real production capacity would be lower than that considered by the Commission.
Ta trditev je bila zavrnjena.
Indeed, according to the NBB, a number of plants in the US, albeit registered, are actually inactive and therefore the real production capacity is 5409000 tonnes.
Podatkov, ki jih je predložil nacionalni odbor za biodizel, ni bilo mogoče uskladiti z uradnimi podatki, ki so na voljo.
The NBB also reported a higher production of biodiesel during the RIP, amounting to 5084000 tonnes.
Proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA morajo Upravi za energetske informacije vsak mesec predložiti obrazec (mesečna anketa o proizvodnji biodizla „EIA-22M Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey“), v katerem morajo med drugim navesti podatke o letni proizvodni zmogljivosti in svojem stanju poslovanja, kot je dejavno, začasno dejavno ali dokončno ustavljeno poslovanje.
As a consequence, the NBB claimed that the capacity utilisation is around 94 % and that there is little spare capacity to be used to export to the EU if measures were repealed.
Od januarja 2013 se je registrirana zmogljivost nekoliko razlikovala med posameznimi meseci, vendar je bila na splošno razmeroma stabilna.
This claim was rejected.
Poleg tega morajo proizvajalci v ZDA Upravi za energetske informacije vsako leto poleg drugih informacij predložiti informacije o vrstah obnovljivega goriva, ki naj bi jih proizvajali ali uvažali, ter obstoječi in načrtovani proizvodni zmogljivosti.
The data provided by the NBB could not be reconciled with officially available data.
Registrirana zmogljivost, ki so jo prijavili proizvajalci biodizla v ZDA, se tako redno posodablja in se šteje za točen vir.
Biodiesel producers in the USA are obliged to submit to EIA on a monthly basis a form (EIA-22M ‘Monthly Biodiesel Production Survey’) indicating, among other data, the annual production capacity and their operating statuses, such as active, temporarily inactive or permanently ceased operations.
Tudi če je registrirana zmogljivost trenutno neporabljena ali neizkoriščena, jo je treba upoštevati pri izračunu neizkoriščene zmogljivosti, ki je na voljo za povečanje proizvodnje ali izvoza.
Since January 2013, the registered capacity varied slightly from one month to another but was overall rather stable.
Poleg tega je iz podatkov o proizvodni zmogljivosti, ki jih je navedel nacionalni odbor za biodizel, že izključena zmogljivost dokončno zaprtih obratov, kot je odbor priznal v svojem dopisu.
In addition, biodiesel producers in the USA are obliged to submit to EPA on an annual basis, among other information, the type, or types, of renewable fuel expected to be produced or imported and the existing and planned production capacity.
Obrati, ki niso dokončno zaprti, lahko po definiciji ponovno začnejo proizvodnjo, če se tržne razmere v prihodnosti spremenijo (kot je na primer odpiranje trga Unije).
The registered capacity that US biodiesel producers have declared is thus updated regularly and is therefore considered as an accurate source.
Pri preskusu „verjetnosti ponovitve“ v pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa je treba uporabiti pristop, usmerjen v prihodnost, ki upošteva morebitne posledice v prihodnosti, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati, in ni dovolj, da se le ugotovi stanje v OPP.
Even if the registered capacity is currently unused or idle, it must be taken into account for the calculation of the spare capacity which is available to increase production and exports.
Komisija zato meni, da je trenutna registrirana zmogljivost točna osnova za izračun celotne proizvodne zmogljivosti in neizkoriščene zmogljivosti ZDA, zato zavrne trditev nacionalnega odbora za biodizel.
Moreover, the production capacity values provided by the NBB already excluded the permanent shuttered capacity, as acknowledged in their submission.
Po končnem razkritju je nacionalni odbor za biodizel vztrajal, da se pri proizvodni zmogljivosti ne bi smela upoštevati neizkoriščena zmogljivost, tudi če ta organom ZDA ni bila priglašena kot zmogljivost razstavljenih ali dokončno zaprtih obratov.
Plants which are not permanently shuttered can by definition start production again if future market conditions change (such as the opening up of the Union market).
Vendar je glede na navodila Uprave za energetske informacije, ki jih navaja nacionalni odbor za biodizel, „letna proizvodna zmogljivost količina biodizla, ki jo obrat lahko proizvede v koledarskem letu ob upoštevanju običajnega časa izpada zaradi vzdrževanja.
The ‘likelihood-of-recurrence’ test in an expiry review requires a forward looking approach about what could happen in the future if measures were allowed to lapse, and not a simple stock-taking of the situation during the RIP.
Vključuje zmogljivost nedejavnega obrata, dokler se obrat ne razstavi ali opusti.“ Iz navedenega je jasno, da Uprava za energetske informacije upošteva vse možne obrate, ki lahko začnejo znova obratovati.
The Commission considers therefore that the current registered capacity constitutes an accurate basis for calculating the total US production capacity and spare capacity and rejects the NBB claim.
Torej lahko v nasprotju s trditvami nacionalnega odbora za biodizel obrati, ki niso razstavljeni ali dokončno zaprti, po definiciji znova zaženejo proizvodnjo, če se pogoji v prihodnosti spremenijo.
Following final disclosure, the NBB maintained that the production capacity should not take into account idle capacity even if this capacity was not notified to the US authorities as dismantled or permanently shuttered.
Komisija je zato menila, da je trenutna registrirana zmogljivost točna osnova za izračun celotne proizvodne zmogljivosti in neizkoriščene zmogljivosti ZDA.
However, following the EIA instructions quoted by NBB, the ‘annual production capacity [is] the quantity of biodiesel that a plant can produce in a calendar year, assuming normal downtime for maintenance.
Nacionalni odbor za biodizel je trdil tudi, da industrija biodizla v ZDA ni zasnovana za poslovanje kot izvozna industrija, saj večina obratov za proizvodnjo biodizla v ZDA proizvede manj kot 15000000 galon (55000 metričnih ton) na leto.
It includes the capacity of idle plant until the plant is dismantled or abandoned’.
Po njegovih trditvah skladiščenje večtedenske proizvodnje biodizla za eno izvozno pošiljko ne bi bilo ekonomsko izvedljivo.
It is evident from the above that EIA takes into account all possible plants which potentially can become active again.
Tudi ta trditev je bila zavrnjena.
Consequently, contrary to what NBB argues, plants which are not dismantled or permanently shuttered can by definition start production again, if future conditions change.
Industrija biodizla v ZDA lahko izvaža in proizvajalci ZDA so pred uvedbo veljavnih ukrepov izvažali znatne količine biodizla na trg Unije, in sicer do 1137000 ton v obdobju preiskave v prvotni preiskavi (od 1. aprila 2007 do 31. marca 2008).
