Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2017/336
Izvedbena uredba Komisije (EU) 2017/336
imposing a definitive anti-dumping duty and collecting definitively the provisional duty imposed on imports of certain heavy plate of non-alloy or other alloy steel originating in the People's Republic of China
o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve in o dokončnem pobiranju začasne dajatve, uvedene na uvoz nekaterih debelih pločevin iz nelegiranega jekla ali drugih legiranih jekel s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske
On 7 October 2016 the European Commission (‘the Commission’) imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports into the European Union (‘the Union’) of flat products of non-alloy or alloy steel (excluding stainless steel, silicon-electrical steel, tool steel and high-speed steel), hot-rolled, not clad, plated or coated, not in coils, of a thickness exceeding 10 mm and of a width of 600 mm or more or of a thickness of 4,75 mm or more but not exceeding 10 mm and of a width of 2050 mm or more (‘heavy plate’) originating in the People's Republic of China (‘the PRC’) by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1777 [2] (‘the provisional Regulation’).
Evropska komisija („Komisija“) je 7. oktobra 2016 z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2016/1777 [2] („začasna uredba“) uvedla začasno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz ploščatih izdelkov iz nelegiranega ali legiranega jekla (razen nerjavnega jekla, silicijevega jekla za elektropločevine, orodnega jekla in hitroreznega jekla), vroče valjanih, neplatiranih, neprevlečenih in neprekritih, ne v kolobarjih, debeline več kot 10 mm in širine 600 mm ali več ali debeline 4,75 mm ali več, vendar ne več kot 10 mm, in širine 2050 mm ali več („debela pločevina“) s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske („LRK“) v Evropsko unijo („Unija“).
The Commission initiated the investigation on 13 February 2016 by publishing a Notice of Initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union (‘the Notice of Initiation’) following a complaint lodged on 4 January 2016 by the European Steel Association (‘Eurofer’) on behalf of producers representing more than 25 % of the total Union production of heavy plate.
Komisija je 13. februarja 2016 z objavo obvestila o začetku v Uradnem listu Evropske unije („obvestilo o začetku“) začela preiskavo na podlagi pritožbe, ki jo je 4. januarja 2016 vložilo združenje evropskih jeklarjev Eurofer („Eurofer“) v imenu proizvajalcev, ki predstavljajo več kot 25 % celotne proizvodnje debelih pločevin v Uniji.
As stated in recitals 28 and 29 of the provisional Regulation, the investigation of dumping and injury covered the period from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2015 (‘the investigation period’ or ‘IP’) and the examination of trends relevant for the assessment of injury covered the period from 1 January 2012 to the end of the investigation period (‘the period considered’).
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 28 in 29 začasne uredbe, je preiskava dampinga in škode zajela obdobje od 1. januarja 2015 do 31. decembra 2015 („obdobje preiskave“ ali „OP“), proučevanje gibanj, pomembnih za oceno škode, pa je zajelo obdobje od 1. januarja 2012 do konca obdobja preiskave („obravnavano obdobje“).
The registration of imports ceased with the imposition of provisional measures on 8 October 2016.
Komisija ni prejela nobenih pripomb.
Interested parties had 20 days after the start of registration to submit comments.
Naknadni postopek
No comments were received.
Po razkritju bistvenih dejstev in premislekov, na podlagi katerih je bila uvedena začasna protidampinška dajatev („začasno razkritje“), so Eurofer, združenje za železo in jeklo iz LRK („CISA“), en proizvajalec izvoznik iz LRK, en uvoznik debelih pločevin v Unijo iz uvodne izjave 34 začasne uredbe („en uvoznik“) in ad-hoc združenje uporabnikov v industriji na koncu proizvodne verige (vetrne elektrarne) predložili pisna stališča glede začasnih ugotovitev.
Subsequent procedure
Zaslišanje je bilo odobreno stranem, ki so to zahtevale.
Following the disclosure of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which a provisional anti-dumping duty was imposed (‘provisional disclosure’), Eurofer, an association of steel producers from the PRC (‘CISA’), an exporting producer from the PRC, an importer of heavy plate in the Union referred to in recital 34 of the provisional Regulation (‘one importer’), and an ad-hoc association of users in downstream industry (wind turbine towers) made written submissions making known their views on the provisional findings.
Zaslišanja so potekala z enim proizvajalcem izvoznikom iz LRK, združenjem CISA in enim uvoznikom.
The parties who so requested were granted an opportunity to be heard.
Komisija je obravnavala ustne in pisne pripombe, ki so jih poslale zainteresirane strani, ter jih po potrebi obravnavala v nadaljevanju.
Hearings took place with one exporting producer from the PRC, CISA and one importer.
Komisija je nadaljevala zbiranje in preverjanje vseh informacij, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za oblikovanje dokončnih ugotovitev.
The Commission considered the oral and written comments submitted by the interested parties and, where appropriate, addressed them below.
Da bi preverili izpolnjene vprašalnike nepovezanih uvoznikov, so bili opravljeni preveritveni obiski v prostorih naslednjih strani:
The Commission continued seeking and verifying all information it deemed necessary for its definitive findings.
Network Steel S.L., Madrid, Španija,
In order to verify the questionnaire replies of unrelated importers, verification visits were carried out at the premises of the following parties:
Primex Steel Trading GmbH, Düsseldorf, Nemčija,
Network Steel S.L., Madrid, Spain,
Salzgitter Mannesmann International GmbH, Düsseldorf, Nemčija.
Primex Steel Trading GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany,
Komisija je vse strani obvestila o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih je nameravala uvesti dokončno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz debelih pločevin s poreklom iz LRK v Unijo in dokončno pobrati zneske, zavarovane z začasno dajatvijo („dokončno razkritje“).
Salzgitter Mannesmann International GmbH, Düsseldorf, Germany.
Za vse strani je bil določen rok, v katerem so lahko predložile pripombe glede dokončnega razkritja.
The Commission informed all parties of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to impose a definitive anti-dumping duty on imports into the Union of heavy plate originating in the PRC and definitively collect the amounts secured by way of provisional duty (‘final disclosure’).
Eurofer, CISA in en uvoznik so svoje pripombe predložili pisno po dokončnem razkritju in na zaslišanju.
All parties were granted a period within which they could make comments on the final disclosure.
Pripombe zainteresiranih strani so se proučile in upoštevale, kjer je bilo primerno.
Eurofer, CISA and one importer made their comments in written submissions following final disclosure and at a hearing.
Vzorčenje
The comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and taken into account where appropriate.
CISA je trdila, da je bil vzorec proizvajalcev Unije, ki so predstavljali 28,5 % celotne prodaje industrije Unije, premajhen in ni zajel dovolj prodaje.
Sampling
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 12 začasne uredbe, je bil vzorec proizvajalcev Unije narejen na podlagi največjega obsega prodaje v Uniji v obdobju preiskave, ki ga je bilo mogoče v razpoložljivem času ustrezno preiskati.
CISA submitted that a sample of Union producers representing 28,5 % of the total sales of the Union industry was too small and did not cover enough sales.
Že zato je treba argument zavrniti.
As stated in recital 12 of the provisional Regulation the sample of Union producers was made on the basis of the biggest sales volume in the Union during the investigation period which could reasonably be investigated within the time available.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 197 v nadaljevanju, se vrste izdelkov, ki jih izvažajo vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki iz LRK, in vrste izdelkov, ki jih prodajajo vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije na trgu Unije, skoraj popolnoma ujemajo, in sicer več kot 90 % glede na količino in približno 70 % glede na kontrolno številko izdelka („PCN“), ki se uporablja za razlikovanje med vrstami izdelkov za namene preiskave.
Already for that reason, the argument has to be rejected.
Po dokončnem razkritju je CISA v svojih pripombah in na zaslišanju ponovno obravnavala to vprašanje, in sicer je navedla, da je skoraj nemogoče verjeti, da se kontrolne številke izdelka skoraj popolnoma ujemajo, če večine kontrolnih številk izdelka ne prodajajo vsi trije vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije.
As indicated in recital 197 below, there is an almost complete matching of more than 90 % (by volume) and around 70 % (by Product Control Number (‘PCN’) used to differentiate product types for the investigation purposes) between the product types exported by the sampled exporting producers from the PRC and the product types sold by the sampled Union producers on the Union market.
Komisija opozarja, da je bilo ujemanje kontrolnih številk izdelka naknadno ponovno preverjeno, na podlagi česar je bilo ugotovljeno, da so odstotki iz uvodne izjave 14 zgoraj pravilni.
Following final disclosure CISA returned to this issue in their comments and at the hearing, stating that it is more than difficult to believe that there is an almost complete matching of PCNs if the majority of the PCNs are not sold by all three sampled Union producers.
Komisija v zvezi s tem ugotavlja, da „ujemanje“ pomeni, da za vrsto izdelka, ki jo vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki iz LRK izvažajo pod določeno kontrolno številko izdelka, obstaja najmanj ena transakcija vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije za vrsto izdelka z isto kontrolno številko izdelka.
The Commission notes that the matching of PCNs was subsequently verified again, and the percentages given in recital 14 above were found to be correct.
dstotno ujemanje glede na količino pomeni, da se za 90 % uvoznih transakcij vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz LRK v obdobju preiskave uporablja kontrolna številka izdelka, za katero obstaja najmanj ena transakcija vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
The Commission observes in this context that ‘matching’ means that for a product type exported by the sampled exporting producers from the PRC under a given PCN, there is at least one transaction for the product type under the same PCN for the sampled Union producers.
dstotno ujemanje glede na kontrolno številko izdelka pomeni, da za 70 % vrst izdelkov, ki se uvažajo pod določeno kontrolno številko izdelka, obstaja najmanj ena ujemajoča se transakcija vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije.
A 90 % matching by volume means that 90 % of the import transactions of the sampled exporting producers from the PRC during the investigation period fall under a PCN for which there is at least one transaction for the sampled Union producers.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da je vzorec proizvajalcev Unije reprezentativen, četudi samo dejstvo, da temelji na največji količini, ki jo je bilo mogoče ustrezno preiskati, ni zadostovalo.
A 70 % matching by PCN means that for 70 % of the product types that are imported under a given PCN, there is at least one matching transaction of the sampled Union producers.
Ker v zvezi z metodo vzorčenja ni bilo dodatnih pripomb, se začasne ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 11 do 24 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
The Commission concludes therefore that the sample of Union producers is representative, even if the mere fact that it is based on the biggest volume that could reasonably be investigated was not sufficient.
Individualna preiskava
In the absence of further comments concerning the method of sampling, the provisional findings set out in recitals 11 to 24 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
V uvodni izjavi 25 začasne uredbe je navedeno, da je sedem proizvajalcev izvoznikov iz LRK navedlo, da želijo zaprositi za individualno preiskavo v skladu s členom 17(3) osnovne uredbe.
Individual examination
Čeprav nobeden od teh proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni izpolnil vprašalnika, zaradi česar se je štelo, da ni bilo prejetih nobenih zahtevkov, je eden od teh sedmih proizvajalcev izvoznikov predložil izpolnjen obrazec zahtevka za tržnogospodarsko obravnavo („TGO“) ter po objavi začasne uredbe zaprosil, da Komisija oceni njegov zahtevek za TGO.
Recital 25 of the provisional Regulation noted that seven exporting producers in the PRC indicated that they wished to request individual examination under Article 17(3) of the basic Regulation.
Ker proizvajalec izvoznik ni predložil izpolnjenega vprašalnika, je bil zahtevek družbe za individualno preiskavo zavrnjen, saj proizvajalec izvoznik ni dokazal, da izpolnjuje pogoje za odobritev posamezne preiskave.
Whilst none of these exporting producers replied to the questionnaire and therefore no requests were considered to have been received, one of these seven exporting producers did return a Market Economy Treatment (‘MET’) claim form and following the publication of the provisional Regulation, requested that the Commission assess its MET claim.
V zvezi s tem je bil obveščen, da zgolj predložitev obrazca zahtevka za TGO ne zadostuje za utemeljitev zahtevka.
Given that the exporting producer did not return a questionnaire, the company's request for individual examination was rejected, because the exporting producer has not demonstrated that it meets the conditions for being granted individual examination.
Komisija v skladu s členom 2(7)(d) osnovne uredbe ni ocenila njegovega zahtevka za TGO, saj ni bil vzorčen in njegov zahtevek za individualno preiskavo ni bil uspešen.
It was in that context informed that the submission of the MET claim form alone was not sufficient to support their request.
Ker v zvezi z individualno preiskavo ni bilo nobenih dodatnih pripomb, se začasne ugotovitve iz uvodne izjave 25 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
The Commission did not assess their MET claim, in accordance with Article 2(7)(d) of the basic Regulation, as they had not been sampled, nor had they successfully claimed individual examination.
ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
In the absence of any further comments concerning individual examination, the provisional findings set out in recital 25 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Trditve v zvezi z obsegom izdelka
PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Zadevni izdelek je začasno opredeljen v uvodnih izjavah 30 in 31 začasne uredbe.
Claims regarding the product scope
Zahtevki enega uvoznika in njihova ocena s strani Komisije glede obsega izdelka so opredeljeni v uvodnih izjavah 34 in 41 začasne uredbe.
Recitals 30 and 31 of the provisional Regulation set out the provisional definition of the product concerned.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov sta en uvoznik in CISA predložila nadaljnje zahtevke, v katerih sta še naprej trdila, da bi morale biti nekatere vrste izdelkov, npr.:
Recitals 34 and 41 of the provisional Regulation set out the claims of one importer and their assessment by the Commission regarding the product scope.
konstrukcijsko jeklo razreda S500 ali višjega,
Following the imposition of provisional measures one importer and CISA submitted further claims arguing along the same lines that certain product types, that is:
jekla za utrjevanje kovin, hitro hlajenje in kaljenje,
structural steel of steel grade S500 and above,
jeklo za cevovode,
steels for case-hardening, quenching and tempering,
jeklo, odporno proti odrgnjenju,
pipeline steel,
drugo jeklo [4],
abrasion-resistant steel,
vse debele pločevine, debelejše od 150 mm,
other steel [4],
ki se štejejo za „posebne debele pločevine“, izključene iz obsega izdelka.
all heavy plate with a thickness exceeding 150 mm,
Komisija navaja, da je mogoče „posebne debele pločevine“ in druge debele pločevine narediti po meri, zato to ni relevantno merilo za razlikovanje med njimi.
referred to by them as ‘special heavy plate’ should be excluded from the product scope.
V podporo temu zahtevku za izključitev so bili predloženi številni argumenti, ki so posamično analizirani v nadaljevanju.
The Commission notes that both ‘special heavy plate’ and other heavy plate can be made to measure, so this is not a relevant criterion to differentiate between them.
Komisija na začetku opozarja, da v skladu s sodno prakso ne osnovna uredba ne protidampinški sporazum STO ne določata, kaj zajema pojem „obravnavani izdelek“.
A number of arguments supporting this claim for exclusion were brought forward, and they are individually analysed below.
Sodišče zato meni, da ima Komisija široko diskrecijsko pravico pri opredelitvi obravnavanega izdelka.
At the outset, the Commission recalls that according to the case-law, neither the basic Regulation nor the WTO Antidumping Agreement specifies the scope of the concept of ‘product under consideration’.
Natančneje, ni zahtev za homogenost ali podobnost med zadevnimi izdelki.
The Court therefore considers that the Commission enjoys broad discretion when defining the product under consideration.
Sodišča Unije so namesto tega štela za pomembno, ali imajo vsi zadevni izdelki enake osnovne fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti.
In particular, there is no requirement for homogeneity or similarity between the products at issue.
Splošno sodišče je tudi končno uporabo in zamenljivost štelo za morebitni upoštevni merili.
Rather, the Union Courts considered it relevant whether all products at issue share the same basic physical and technical characteristics.
Komisija bo najprej podala analizo navedenih meril v obravnavani zadevi, nato pa pojasnila, kako se je na podlagi tega odločila izvajati svojo široko diskrecijsko pravico.
The General Court has also considered that end use and interchangeability may constitute relevant criteria.
Razlike v fizikalnih, kemijskih in tehničnih lastnostih
The Commission will first set out the analysis of those criteria in the present case, and then explain how it decided to exercise its broad discretion on that basis.
En uvoznik je trdil, da je „posebne debele pločevine“ mogoče z lahkoto razlikovati od „blagovnih debelih pločevin“ na podlagi kemijskih lastnosti, kot je vsebnost ogljika, fizikalnih lastnostih, kot sta meja lezenja ali trdota po Brinellu, ter tehničnih lastnostih, kot sta označba razreda ali debelina.
Difference in physical, chemical and technical properties
CISA je trdila, da je najpomembnejše merilo (kar zadeva obseg izvoza) za razlikovanje med „posebnimi debelimi pločevinami“ debelina pločevine, ki zajema več kot polovico izdelkov za izključitev.
One importer claimed that ‘special heavy plate’ can be easily distinguished from the ‘commodity heavy plate’ by chemical properties such as the carbon content, physical properties such as the yield strength or the Brinell Hardness, technical properties such as the grade designations, or the thickness.
CISA je argument za izključitev iz obsega izdelka utemeljila s strukturo kontrolne številke izdelka, ki se uporablja za združevanje različnih vrst izdelkov za namene preiskav.
CISA claimed that the most important criterion (by export volume) to differentiate ‘special heavy plate’ is the thickness of the plate, which covers more than half of the products to be excluded.
Struktura kontrolne številke izdelka se uporablja za zagotavljanje, da se izdelki s primerljivimi stroški in cenami primerjajo, ničesar pa ne pove o uporabi ali zamenljivosti izdelka.
CISA based this argument for exclusion from the product scope on the structure of the PCN used to group the different product types for the investigation purposes.
Pri debelini prav tako ne pove ničesar o fizikalnih, kemijskih ali tehničnih lastnostih izdelka.
The PCN structure is used to ensure that products with comparable costs and prices are compared — it does not say anything about the use of the product or the interchangeability of the product.
Natančneje, nobena od zainteresiranih strani ni dokazala, da debela pločevina debeline 155 mm ne bi imela enake končne uporabe in ne bi bila zamenljiva z debelo pločevino debeline 145 mm, pri čemer so vsi drugi parametri enaki.
In case of thickness, it also does not say anything about the physical, chemical or technical properties of the product.
Poleg tega kljub morebitnim posebnim razlikam v posebnih lastnostih iz uvodne izjave 30 zgoraj to ne dokazuje, da „posebne debele pločevine“ nimajo enakih osnovnih lastnosti kot „blagovne debele pločevine“.
In particular, none of the interested parties could demonstrate that a heavy plate with a thickness of 155 mm would not have the same end use and not be interchangeable with a heavy plate of a thickness of 145 mm, all other parameters being equal.
Eurofer je zahteval, da opredelitev izdelka ostane nespremenjena, in podprl argumente Komisije iz uvodnih izjav 36 in 41 začasne uredbe.
Furthermore, while there may be indeed these specific differences in the specific properties referred to in recital 30 above, this does not show that ‘special heavy plate’ does not share the same basic characteristics as ‘commodity heavy plate’.
Navedli so tudi, da dampinški uvoz iz LRK vključuje široko paleto razredov in dimenzij jekla ter zajema legirane in nelegirane jeklene debele pločevine.
Eurofer requested that the product definition remain unchanged and supported the arguments of the Commission set out in recitals 36 and 41 of the provisional Regulation.
Nazadnje so navedli, da v obseg zadevnega izdelka ni zajetih nobenih „posebnih zahtev za homogenost ali podobnost med izdelki“.
They further submitted that the dumped imports from the PRC include a wide range of steel grades and dimensions, and cover both alloy and non-alloy steel heavy plate.
Komisija opozarja, da je pri protidampinških preiskavah običajno, da obseg izdelka zajema na stotine ali celo tisoče vrst izdelkov, ki niso enaki ali homogeni, imajo pa enake osnovne lastnosti, tako kot v tej preiskavi.
They finally noted that there is no ‘specific requirement for homogeneity or similarity between the products’ covered by the scope of the product concerned.
Po dokončnem razkritju so Eurofer, CISA in en uvoznik v svojih pripombah in na zaslišanju ponovno obravnavali to vprašanje:
Indeed, the Commission notes that it is common in anti-dumping investigations that the product scope covers hundreds or even thousands of product types which are not identical or homogeneous, but still share the same basic characteristics, as is the case in this investigation.
CISA ni predložila novih tehtnih argumentov.
