natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
Since, as indicated in the recital above, Indian prices contain royalties, it is reasonable to keep this tax contained in the Australian price in order to ensure fair comparison.
Komisija je ugotovila, da so indijske domače cene v celotnem obdobju obstoja uvozne dajatve ostale nižje od mednarodnih cen in so bile od leta 2013 skoraj nespremenjene v primerjavi z vzporednim znatnim znižanjem mednarodnih cen.
On this basis, the Commission calculated an adjusted FOB Australian price, as the closest possible proxy for an undistorted Indian domestic price.
Poleg tega nič v spisu ne podpira trditve, da sta NMDC in Rundta ohranjala cene železove rude, ki so bile višje od mednarodnih cen.
The comparison between the various sets of data is shown in the table and succeeding graph below:
Po razkritju je družba Jindal tudi izpodbijala ugotovitev Komisije glede pooblastitve, saj bi se proizvajalci železove rude lahko odločili, kot so domnevno tudi se, da zmanjšajo proizvodnjo, in cena na drugih trgih bi se lahko znižala, kar se je domnevno tudi zgodilo.
India domestic price (all grades and types) [56]
Glede trditve, da so se proizvajalci železove rude domnevno odločili zmanjšati proizvodnjo, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 187, je Komisija ugotovila, da je bilo zmanjšanje proizvodnje v preteklosti večinoma posledica zaprtja domnevno nezakonitih rudnikov.
India domestic price (fines 60-65 %) [56]
Drugič, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 169, rudarske družbe ne bi zmanjšale proizvodnje glede na njihovo znatno začetno naložbo v proizvodnjo.

Glede znižanja cen na drugih trgih je Komisija zavrnila to trditev iz enakih razlogov, kot so navedeni v uvodni izjavi 269.
AU [57]
Ob upoštevanju navedenega je Komisija ugotovila, da je bilo družbam za pridobivanje železove rude v Indiji zaupano, da zagotavljajo železovo rudo domači industriji cevi iz nodularnega litega železa za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega.

Australia FOB (all grades and types) 62 % [59]
Po dokončnem razkritju je družba ECL trdila, da je Komisija ocenila samo prvo od petih pomembnih meril (pooblastitev in usmerjanje), ne pa tudi preostalih štirih.
Adjusted Australia FOB (all grades and types 62 %) [60]
Komisija je zavrnila ta argument, saj je o naravi rudarskih družb (uvodne izjave 178 do 180) in njihovi nalogi (uvodne izjave 181 do 219) podrobno razpravljala že v navedeni fazi.
FOB Australia IODEX (fines 62 % Fe) since June 2008
Nato je dodala kratke premisleke o četrtem in petem merilu.
Australia FOB 62 % all iron ore converted to INR/MT
V zvezi z merilom „običajne pristojnosti“, ki ga posebna skupina še ni dodatno pojasnila [61], je Komisija menila, da je zagotavljanje surovin, ki so v državi, nacionalnim družbam naloga, ki je običajno v pristojnosti vlade.
Adjusted Australia FOB 62 % all iron ore converted to INR/MT (– 6,8 % DMT to WMT and – 360 INR stevedore)
Po splošnem mednarodnem pravu imajo države suverenost nad svojimi naravni viri.

Čeprav imajo veliko diskrecijsko pravico glede organizacije izkoriščanja svojih naravnih virov, se njihova suverenost običajno spremeni v regulativno vladno pristojnost za opravljanje te naloge.

V zvezi s tem ni pomembno, ali bi vlada običajno opravljala to nalogo ali ne [62].
India average domestic price/MT EX mines (fines 60-65 %) including royalty, tax and transport [no data breakdown before May-2009]
Komisija je zato ugotovila, da je zagotavljanje železove rude, ki je na indijskem ozemlju, indijski jeklarski industriji naloga, ki je običajno v pristojnosti vlade.
India average domestic price/MT EX mines (all grades and types of iron ore) including royalty, taxes and transport
Kar zadeva merilo „se ne razlikuje bistveno“, je Komisija ugotovila, da to besedilo izhaja iz poročila posebne skupine iz leta 1960 o pregledu v skladu s členom XVI.5, v katerem je bilo uporabljeno podobno besedilo v zvezi z dajatvami, ki jih financira proizvajalec, za katere se je štelo, da se ne razlikujejo bistveno od vladnih praks obdavčitve in subvencioniranja [63].
The comparison shows that the GoI interventions on iron ore which led to a drastic reduction of exports of iron ore and to an excess supply in India, have also had an impact on the domestic prices of iron ore.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega to merilo zahteva pozitivno ugotovitev, da se zagotavljanje blaga s strani zasebnih organov, ki jim je zaupana ta naloga, ne razlikuje bistveno od hipoteze, da je tako blago zagotavljala vlada sama.
First, since 2008 domestic prices of iron ore in India are constantly lower than international prices.
Družba ECL je trdila, da bi bil razlog za razliko v praksi med indijsko vlado in indijskimi rudarskimi družbami pri zagotavljanju železove rude lahko raven določanja cene.
Second, while international prices show a significant increase over the years 2008 to 2011, corresponding to the two points in time when the export restraints were introduced (2007/2008) and enhanced (2011), the trend of domestic prices of iron ore in India is rather flat, as if it was separated and unaffected by the situation in the rest of the world.
Medtem ko bi se vlada lahko odločila za določitev nižje cene za zagotavljanje železove rude domačim jeklarskim družbam, rudarske družbe nimajo take pravice.
Hence, the GoI targeted export restraints achieved the objective of making iron ore available to domestic industries at lower prices by keeping the domestic Indian price stable, although the iron ore prices were increasing significantly on the world market.
Vendar hipoteza, da bi vlada lahko tudi posredovala na trgu z določanjem cen, v resnici ne ustvarja nobene bistvene razlike.
There is no reason why the Indian prices should not have followed the trends of international prices, but for the targeted export restraints and other related measures set up by the GoI.
V zadevnem primeru se je vlada odločila, da bo zasebnim družbam zaupala, da zagotavljajo železovo rudo za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega in katerega višina se s časom spreminja.
Indian producers of iron ore would have benefited from more profitable sales at the higher international prices absent the targeted export restraints.
To se ne razlikuje od prakse, pri kateri bi vlada zagotavljala železovo rudo neposredno indijskim proizvajalcem jekla po spremenljivih cenah, ki bi jih lahko določala dnevno ali mesečno, ob upoštevanju nekaterih kazalnikov, povezanih s stanjem domačega indijskega povpraševanja in ponudbe.
Instead, they were induced to continue production and provide iron ore locally at lower prices.
Iz tega sledi, da ni nobene bistvene razlike med neposrednim posredovanjem na trgu z zagotavljanjem železove rude v okviru sistema stalno spreminjajočih se vladnih cen in naložitvijo odgovornosti za zagotavljanje železove rude rudarskim družbam za plačilo, ki je manjše od primernega.
After disclosure, ECL claimed that the significantly increased imports into India in 2014-2015 show that the Indian domestic price was not entirely decoupled from international prices.
Komisija je zato zavrnila trditev, da bi „predhodno določeni pogoji s strani vlade“ pomenili bistveno razliko med neposrednim in posrednim zagotavljanjem železove rude indijski industriji cevi iz nodularnega litega železa.
If the GoI really had wished to provide iron ore at less than adequate remuneration, it then would have entrusted and directed the iron ore producers to reduce prices even further.
Na koncu je Komisija ugotovila, da prakso posrednega posredovanja na trgu z omejitvami izvoza izvajajo številne vlade po svetu.
Moreover, Indian iron ore producers such as NMDC and Rundta have allegedly maintained iron ore prices which were much higher than international prices as noted in the complaint.
Samo v Indiji obstaja ogromno različnih izvoznih dajatev.
The Commission observed that Indian domestic prices remained below international prices throughout the entire period of existence of the import tax and remained almost unchanged since 2013 in comparison with the parallel significant decrease in international prices.
Zato je bilo za Komisijo samoumevno, da ima opravka tudi s prakso „ki jo običajno izvajajo vlade“.
In addition, nothing in the file supports the claim that NMDC and Rundta have maintained iron ore prices higher than international prices.
Sklep
After disclosure, Jindal also challenged the Commission's finding of entrustment since the iron ore producers could decide, as they allegedly did, to decrease production and the price in other markets could decrease, as it allegedly happened.
Indijska vlada je s ciljnimi omejitvami izvoza (glej uvodno izjavo 157) prisilila domače družbe za pridobivanje železove rude, da so lokalno prodajale železovo rudo, ter jim „zaupala“, da v Indiji zagotavljajo to surovino za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega.
Concerning the allegation that iron ore producers allegedly decided to decrease production, as explained in recital 187 above, the Commission found that the decrease in the production in the past was mostly due to closing of allegedly illegal mines.
Z zadevnimi ukrepi je bil dosežen želeni učinek izkrivljanja domačega trga železove rude v Indiji in znižanja cene na umetno nizko raven v korist industrije na koncu proizvodne verige.
Second, as explained in recital 169 above, the mining companies would not decrease output, given the significant initial investment they make in production.
Naloga zagotavljanja železove rude za plačilo, ki je manjše od primernega, bi bila običajno v pristojnosti vlade, in praksa rudarskih družb, da opravljajo to nalogo, se ne razlikuje bistveno od praks, ki jih običajno izvajajo vlade.
With regards to the decrease of prices in other markets, the Commission rejected this claim for the same reasons as the ones contained in recital 269 below.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da je indijska vlada zagotovila neposreden finančni prispevek v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(iv) in (iii) osnovne uredbe, kot se razlaga in uporablja v skladu z ustreznim standardom STO iz člena 1.1(a)(iv) in (iii) Sporazuma o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih.
In light of the foregoing, the Commission concluded that the iron ore mining companies in India were entrusted to provide the iron ore to the domestic ductile pipe industry for less than adequate remuneration.
Po dokončnem razkritju so indijska vlada in proizvajalca izvoznika izpodbijali trditev Komisije, da se ugotovljene ciljne omejitve izvoza lahko opredelijo kot finančni prispevek vlade.
The function which would normally be vested in the government and the practice, which, in no real sense, differs from practices normally followed by governments
Zlasti so trdili, da je Komisija analizirala odziv na uvedeni ukrep (oziroma njegove učinke), namesto da bi preučila pozitivne ukrepe vlade ali značilnosti uvedenega ukrepa za določitev finančnega prispevka.
After definitive disclosure, ECL alleged that the Commission had only assessed the first of the five relevant criteria (entrustment and direction) and not assessed the four other ones.
Poleg tega je družba ECL ugotovila, da Komisija ni dokazala obstoja zakona, ki bi nalagal odgovornost proizvajalcem železove rude ali jih avtoritativno usmerjal.
The Commission dismissed this argument as it had discussed the nature of the mining companies (recitals 178-180) and the function carried out by them (recitals 181-219) in great detail already at that stage.
Poleg tega so iste strani oporekale zanašanju Komisije na sklice v posameznih poročilih, pri čemer so trdile, da se ne morejo šteti za zadostne dokaze ali podporo za določitev finančnega prispevka indijske vlade.
It then briefly added its considerations on the fourth and the fifth criterion.
Komisija se ni strinjala z njihovim stališčem, da je analizirala samo učinke uvedenih ciljnih omejitev izvoza.
With respect to the ‘normally vested’ criterion, which had not been further clarified by the Panel [61] yet, the Commission considered that the provision of raw materials located within a country to national companies is a function which is normally vested in the government.
Kot je pojasnjeno v tem oddelku, je analiza Komisije vključevala več korakov.
Under general international law, States have sovereignty over their natural resources.
Prvič, ugotovljeno je bilo, kateri zasledovani cilji politike odvračajo od izvoza železove rude.
While they enjoy large discretion how to organise the exploitation of their natural resources, their sovereignty normally translates into a regulatory governmental power to do so.
Drugič, na podlagi izvozne dajatve za železovo rudo in politike dvojne prevoznine je Komisija ugotovila obstoj pravnih aktov, ki silijo proizvajalce železove rude, da prodajajo na indijskem domačem trgu po nižjih cenah, kot bi sicer prodajali.
In this respect, it is irrelevant whether or not a government would habitually engage in this function [62].
Nato je ugotovila, da je vlada dejansko silila družbe za pridobivanje železove rude v Indiji, da zagotavljajo železovo rudo domači industriji cevi iz nodularnega litega železa za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega.
The Commission therefore found that the provision of iron ore located in Indian soil to the Indian steel industry is a function which is normally vested in the government.
Poleg tega je naloga zagotavljanja železove rude za plačilo, ki je nižje od primernega, običajno v pristojnosti vlade, in praksa rudarskih družb, da opravljajo to nalogo, se ne razlikuje bistveno od praks, ki jih običajno izvajajo vlade.
As regards the ‘in no real sense differs’ criterion, the Commission noted that the language originated in the 1960 report of the Panel on Review Pursuant to Article XVI:5, in which similar language was used in respect of producer-funded levies that were deemed not to differ, in any real sense, from government practices of taxation and subsidisation [63].
Komisija se zato ni opirala na več poročil in političnih izjav ali samo na učinke opredeljenih ukrepov, temveč je analizirala vse potrebne elemente, da bi ugotovila obstoj posrednega finančnega prispevka v skladu s členom 3(1)(a)(iv) in (iii) osnovne uredbe.
Against that background, this criterion requires an affirmative finding that the provision of goods by the entrusted private bodies does not, in any real sense, differ from the hypothesis that the government had provided such goods itself.
Ugodnost
ECL alleged that a difference in the practice between the Indian government and the Indian mining companies in providing iron ore could lie in the level of price-determination.
V skladu s členom 3(2) in členom 5 osnovne uredbe je Komisija znesek subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, izračunala glede na ugodnost za prejemnika, ki je bila ugotovljena v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
While the government might have opted to fix a cheap price for providing iron ore to domestic steel companies, the mining companies do not have such a power at their disposal.
Najprej je izračunala tehtano povprečno nabavno ceno drobnozrnate železove rude obeh indijskih proizvajalcev v obdobju preiskave.
However, the hypothesis that the government could have also intervened into the market by way of fixing prices does not create any difference in real sense.
Tehtano povprečje je bilo izračunano po posameznih mesecih in za dobavo iz rudnika v tovarno v Indiji.
In the present case, the government had chosen to entrust private companies to provide iron ore for less than adequate remuneration, the level of which fluctuates over time.
Povprečna nabavna cena je temeljila na cenah, brez DDV, in količinah, navedenih na seznamu računov za posamezne transakcije, ki sta ga predložili družbi in je bil preverjen med preveritvenimi obiski.
This does not differ from a practice where the government would have provided iron ore directly to the Indian steel producers at fluctuating price levels, which it could have fixed on a daily or monthly basis, following certain indicators relating to the situation of domestic Indian demand and supply.
Če vsebnost železa v železovi rudi ni bila 62-odstotna, je bila nabavna cena prilagojena, da se je upoštevala razlika v kakovosti (in ceni).
It follows that there is no difference, in any real sense, between directly intervening in the market with providing iron ore under a system of constantly changing government prices or by entrusting the responsibility to provide iron ore at less than adequate remuneration to mining companies.
To povprečno ceno je bilo treba primerjati z ustrezno referenčno vrednostjo.
The Commission hence rejected the claim that the issue of ‘government pre-determined conditions’ would show a difference, in a real sense, between direct and indirect provision of iron ore to the Indian ductile pipes industry.
V skladu s členom 6(d) osnovne uredbe se primernost plačila določi glede na prevladujoče tržne pogoje za zadevni izdelek v državi, kjer se dobava opravi.
Finally, the Commission found that the practice to indirectly intervene in the market through export restraints is followed by a number of governments worldwide.
To temelji na členu 14(d) Sporazuma o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih ter bi se moralo razlagati in uporabljati ob upoštevanju tega člena.
Only in India itself, an enormous variety of export taxes exist.
Komisija je ugotovila, da vladne ciljne omejitve uvoza vplivajo na vse prevladujoče tržne pogoje v Indiji.
Therefore, it was self-evident for the Commission that it was also dealing with a practice ‘normally followed by governments’.
Pri nobeni transakciji, povezani z železovo rudo v Indiji, se ni mogoče izogniti dejstvu, da je celoten indijski trg razdrobljen in da so cene na njem nizke.
Conclusion
Zato za indijskega proizvajalca cevi iz nodularnega litega železa ali drugje na indijskem trgu ni bilo mogoče določiti neizkrivljenih stroškov železove rude.
With the targeted export restraints (see recital 157 above), the GoI induced the domestic iron ore mining companies to sell iron ore locally and ‘entrusted’ them to provide this raw material in India for less than adequate remuneration.
Posledično v Indiji ni bilo domačih cen, ki bi se lahko uporabile kot ustrezna referenčna vrednost.
The measures at issue achieved the desired effect to distort the domestic market of iron ore in India and to depress the price to an artificially low level to the advantage of the downstream industry.
Komisija je v skladu z drugim pododstavkom člena 6(d)(i) osnovne uredbe nato poskusila prilagoditi pogoje, ki so prevladovali v Indiji, na podlagi dejanskih stroškov, cen in drugih razpoložljivih dejavnikov v državi.
The function to provide iron ore for less than adequate remuneration is normally vested in the government and the practice of the mining companies to carry it out does not, in any real sense, differ from practices normally followed by governments.
Drugače rečeno, Komisija je preučila, kakšna bi bila cena železove rude v Indiji, če ne bi bilo vladnih ciljnih omejitev izvoza.
The Commission thus concluded that the GoI provided an indirect financial contribution within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(iv) and (iii) of the basic Regulation, as interpreted and applied in line with the relevant WTO standard under Article 1.1(a)(iv) and (iii) of the SCM Agreement.
S to metodologijo bi bilo mogoče določiti naravno primerjalno prednost, ki jo je Indija lahko imela pri zagotavljanju železove rude domačim proizvajalcem, pri čemer bi se izločila neupravičena dodatna prednost, pridobljena z ukrepi, ki jih je sprejela indijska vlada.
After definitive disclosure, the GoI as well as the two exporting producers challenged the Commission's assessment that the identified targeted exports restraints can be termed as a financial contribution by a government.
Vendar tudi s to metodologijo ustrezna referenčna vrednost ni bila določena.
In particular, they asserted that the Commission analysed the reaction to (or the effects of) an imposed measure instead of examining the affirmative action of a government or the nature of the imposed measure to determine a financial contribution.
Zlasti ni bilo mogoče izračunati, kakšni bi bili „normalni“ stroški za nakup železa v Indiji brez sistema omejitev izvoza, saj take stroške določa vrsta drugih dejavnikov, ki Komisiji niso znani.
Moreover ECL found that the Commission failed to establish the existence of an act giving responsibility to or authoritatively directing iron ore producers.
Medtem ko je Komisija razpolagala z dejstvi o razvoju proizvodnje in povpraševanja v okviru ciljnih omejitev izvoza, ki veljajo od leta 2007/2008, pa nima zanesljivih virov za oblikovanje modela razvoja ponudbe in povpraševanja po železovi rudi na indijskem trgu v zadevnem letu brez teh ukrepov.
Furthermore, the same parties disputed the Commission's reliance on references in isolated reports, arguing that they cannot be considered as sufficient evidence or support for determining a financial contribution by the GoI.
Upoštevanje stroškov železove rude v katerem koli letu pred vzpostavitvijo ciljnih omejitev izvoza (tj. v katerem koli letu pred letom 2007) bi vodilo do samovoljnih in nezanesljivih odločitev.
The Commission did not agree with the parties' position that it had analysed only the effects of the imposed targeted exports restrictions.
Upoštevanje indijskih stroškov od leta 2004 ali 2005 kot približka stroškov v obdobju preiskave se ni štelo za ustrezno, saj so lahko stroški v 10-letnem obdobju zelo različni.
As explained above in this section, the Commission's analysis went through several steps.
Posledično tudi ni bilo mogoče izračunati, kakšni bi bili hipotetični stroški za proizvajalca cevi iz nodularnega litega železa v Indiji, če ne bi bilo izkrivljanja.
First, it established the policy objectives pursued, that is discouraging exports of iron ore.
Zato se kot ustrezna referenčna vrednost niso mogli uporabiti niti prilagojeni pogoji v Indiji.
Second, by means of the iron ore export tax and the dual freight policy, the Commission determined the existence of the legal acts inducing iron ore producers to sell domestically in India at lower prices than they would have sold otherwise.
Po razkritju je družba ECL oporekala zavrnitvi uporabe indijskih domačih cen kot referenčne vrednosti s strani Komisije, pri čemer je trdila, da Komisija ni analizirala dobaviteljev na trgu, ki dobavljajo za lastno uporabo, in pomena trgovcev ali uvoza železove rude s strani posameznih proizvajalcev, kot je družba ECL.
Then, the Commission established that the iron ore mining companies in India were indeed induced by the government to provide the iron ore to the ductile pipe industry for less than adequate remuneration.
Poleg tega bi morala Komisija navesti pozitivne dokaze, da so zasebne cene izkrivljene.
Furthermore, the function to provide iron ore for less than adequate remuneration is normally vested in the government and the practice of the mining companies to carry it out does not, in any real sense, differ from practices normally followed by governments.
Komisija ni mogla ugotoviti, kako bi dobavitelji ali trgovci ravnali, če ne bi bilo izvozne dajatve in politike dvojne prevoznine.
The Commission therefore did not only rely on several reports and policy statements or only on the effects of the identified measures but rather analysed all necessary elements in order to establish the existence of an indirect financial contribution in accordance with Article 3(1)(a)(iv) and (iii) of the basic Regulation.
Poleg tega je Komisija, kot je navedeno v oddelku o zagotavljanju blaga za plačilo, ki je nižje ob primernega, predstavila številne elemente, ki dokazujejo, da so vse domače cene v Indiji izkrivljene zaradi izvozne dajatve.
Benefit
Družba ECL je nadalje navedla, da bi morala Komisija prilagoditi prevladujoče cene v Indiji na podlagi indijskih izvoznih cen FOB.
