All interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known under Article 21(2) of the basic Regulation.
Finančni učinek ukrepov na te uporabnike je nizek, saj silicij ni zelo pomemben v njihovi strukturi stroškov.
Interest of the Union industry
En večji uporabnik aluminija zagovarja ohranitev protidampinške dajatve in trdi, da je pomembno, da industrija Unije lahko nadaljuje proizvodnjo v Uniji, medtem ko uporabnik aluminija, ki porabi manjše količine silicija, zagovarja razveljavitev veljavnih ukrepov.
The three Union producers accounting together for 100 % of Union production cooperated in this investigation.
Za uporabnike, ki proizvajajo kemične izdelke in predstavljajo približno 60 % skupne potrošnje Unije, je silicij zelo pomemben, saj predstavlja velik delež stroškov surovin.
As stated in recital 125 above, Union industry does not suffer material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation due to the measures in force.
Po mnenju treh uporabnikov iz kemične industrije se protidampinški ukrepi ne bi smeli ohraniti.
At the same time Union industry has shown that their operations are viable when not subject to unfair competition by dumped imports.
Dva uporabnika iz kemične industrije ukrepom nista nasprotovala ali jih podpirala.
Also, the removal of the measures would very likely lead to an increase of low-priced dumped Chinese imports, threatening the continued operation of the remaining producers in an otherwise viable industry.
Nekateri uporabniki so opozorili tudi na dobro finančno stanje proizvajalcev Unije.
It is recalled that two producers in the Union had closed down since the initial imposition of measures.
Učinek ukrepov na te uporabnike je morda večji kot učinek na industrijo aluminija.
It is therefore concluded that it is in the interest of the Union industry to maintain the measures in force.
Vendar pa informacije, ki so jih predložili sodelujoči uporabniki, ki proizvajajo kemične izdelke, kažejo, da silicij uvažajo skoraj izključno v okviru aktivnega oplemenitenja, zato so oproščeni protidampinške dajatve.
Interest of unrelated importers
Zato se šteje, da je učinek ukrepov na te uporabnike omejen.
As stated in recital 16 above, only one unrelated importer submitted a sampling reply.
Uporabniki so izrazili zaskrbljenost glede zanesljivosti oskrbe.
The silicon trade constituted around 10 % of the total turnover for this importer.
En razlog za zaskrbljenost je nezmožnost industrije Unije, da oskrbi celoten trg Unije.
The importer did neither oppose nor support the measures.
Vendar pa veljavni ukrepi niso preprečili kitajskemu uvozu, da ne bi v znatnih količinah vstopil na trg Unije.
It is therefore concluded that it is not against the interest of the unrelated imports to maintain the measures in force.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 89, jim tudi uvoz z Norveške, iz Brazilije, Rusije, Bosne in Hercegovine ter številnih drugih držav omogoča, da oskrbujejo del trga, ki ga ne more oskrbeti industrija Unije.
Interest of users
V zvezi s tem je EUSMET navedel, da visoka izkoriščenost zmogljivosti industrije Unije in povečana proizvodnja dokazujeta, da industrija Unije ni utrpela škode.
The Commission has received seven full replies from users from the chemical and aluminium industries.
Komisija je potrdila, da ima industrija Unije relativno visoko izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, in sicer 70 %–90 %.
For the aluminium industry, silicon is only marginally needed for their products to improve the properties of aluminium.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 99, se je glede na preverjene informacije proizvajalcev Unije proizvodnja v obravnavanem obdobju nekoliko povečala.
In their opinion it is not easy to substitute silicon, therefore the security of supply is often of a higher importance than the price.
Vendar je, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 122, povečanje tako nizko, da industriji Unije ne omogoča, da bi imela korist od tržne rasti.
The financial effect of the measures on these users is low, due to the relatively low importance of silicon in their cost structure.
To se kaže kot negativen trend izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti.
One large aluminium user is in favour of maintaining the anti-dumping duty, arguing that it is important that Union industry is able to continue its production in the Union, while an aluminium user consuming lower quantities of silicon is in favour of repealing the measures in force.
Po razkritju je združenje uporabnikov aluminija v Uniji European Aluminium podprlo ohranitev protidampinške dajatve, pri čemer je trdilo, da lahko presežek zmogljivosti v LRK in morebiten damping iz LRK ogrozita oskrbo s silicijem za industrijo aluminija na trgu Unije.
For users producing chemical products accounting for around 60 % of total Union consumption, silicon is of significant importance accounting for a large share of their raw materials cost.
Na splošno pozitivni učinek ukrepov na industrijo Unije precej odtehta omejen ali zanemarljiv negativen vpliv veljavnih ukrepov na uporabnike.
In the opinion of three of the chemical users the anti-dumping measures should not be maintained.
Viri oskrbe na trgu Unije/pomisleki v zvezi s konkurenco
Two of the chemical users neither opposed nor supported the measures.
Zainteresirane strani so se pritožile glede domnevnega pomanjkanja konkurence na trgu Unije.
Some users also pointed to the good financial situation of the Union producers.
V Uniji so res samo trije proizvajalci, ki pripadajo dvema skupinama družb.
The effect of the measures on these users is potentially more significant than in the aluminium industries.
Industrija je imela približno 30-odstotni tržni delež, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 103.
However, the information supplied by the cooperating users producing chemical products shows that they almost exclusively import silicon under IPP, thereby being exempted from the anti-dumping duty.
Zato trg Unije potrebuje uvoz, da bi zadovoljil potrebe uporabnikov Unije.
The effect of the measures on these users is therefore considered to be limited.
Kljub veljavnim ukrepom so rastoče količine uvoza iz Kitajske še vedno prihajale na trg in v obdobjih preiskave v zvezi s pregledom, pojasnjenih v uvodni izjavi 75, imele tržni delež približno [17 %–22 %].
Users were concerned about the security of supply.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 89, so glavni drugi viri za uvoz silicija v Unijo Norveška, Brazilija in številne druge države.
One concern was the inability of the Union industry to fully supply the Union market.
Domnevni duopol ima torej samo 30-odstotni tržni delež, medtem ko ima uvoz iz številnih tretjih držav 70-odstotni tržni delež.
However, the measures in force did not stop Chinese imports from entering the Union market in significant quantities.
Zato lahko uporabniki izbirajo med silicijevo kovino, ki jo proizvaja industrija Unije, in silicijevo kovino iz številnih drugih tretjih držav.
As set out in recital 89 above, also imports from Norway, Brazil, Russia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and a number of other countries allow them to supply the part of the market which cannot be supplied by the Union industry.
Trditve v zvezi z domnevnim duopolnim položajem na trgu Unije zato ni mogoče sprejeti.
In this regard Eusmet submitted that the high capacity utilisation of the Union industry and increased production prove that the Union industry is not injured.
Silicij kot kritična surovina
The Commission confirmed that the Union industry has a relatively high capacity utilisation of around 70 % - 90 %.
EUSMET se je seznanil z dejstvom, da je bila leta 2014 silicijeva kovina dodana na seznam kritičnih surovin Unije.
As set out in recital 99 above, based on verified information of Union producers, the production slightly increased during the period considered.
Komisija je v svojem sporočilu navedla, da je 20 navedenih surovin „kritičnih zato, ker sta tveganje premajhne ponudbe in njihov vpliv na gospodarstvo večja kot pri večini drugih surovin“ [7].
However, as indicated in recital 122 above, the increase is so low that it does not allow the Union industry to benefit from the market growth.
Euroalliages v zvezi z dodajanjem silicija na seznam kritičnih surovin Unije trdi, da bi iztek ukrepov prestavljal grožnjo trajnostni oskrbi s silicijem znotraj Unije.
This is shown by the negative trend for capacity utilisation.
Sama vključitev silicija na ta seznam ni vplivala na ugotovitve Komisije v protidampinškem postopku.
Following disclosure, European Aluminium, an association of aluminium users in the Union, supported maintaining the anti-dumping duty, arguing that overcapacity in the PRC and possible dumping from the PRC can threaten the supply of silicon to the aluminium industry on the Union market.
Po razkritju sta CCIC in CNMIA navedla, da obstaja protislovje med postopkom STO za poravnavo sporov v zvezi z izvozno dajatvijo, ki se poleg drugih surovin uporablja za silicij [8], in ugotovitvami v tem primeru.
On balance, the positive effect of the measures on the Union industry by far outweighs the limited or insignificant negative impact of the measures in force on the users.
Navajata, da začetek spora STO, katerega posledica bi lahko bilo znižanje cen silicija, izvoženega iz LRK, potrjuje, da interes uporabnikov Unije za dostop do oskrbe s silicijem odtehta interes proizvajalcev Unije za ohranitev protidampinških ukrepov.
Sources of supply on the Union market/competition concerns
Komisija meni, da ta trditev ni utemeljena.
Interested parties complained about an alleged lack of competition on the Union market.
Dejstvo, da je bil silicij med surovinami, ki so bile predmet poravnave spora STO, ne pomeni, da ni več potrebe po odpravi učinkov izkrivljanja trgovine zaradi škodljivega dampinga in po ponovni vzpostavitvi učinkovite konkurence.
Indeed, the Union has only three Union producers belonging to two groups of companies.
Združitev družbe Globe Specialty Metals z družbo FerroAtlantica
The Union industry held a market share of around 30 %, as indicated in recital 103 above.
Zainteresirane strani so trdile, da bo združitev družbe FerroAtlantica z družbo Globe Speciality Metals („FerroGlobe“) omejila oskrbo s silicijem na trgu Unije in povzročila prevladujoč položaj združenega subjekta FerroGlobe na trgu Unije.
In order to meet the demands of Union users, the Union market therefore needs imports.
Vendar družba Globe Speciality Metals proizvaja silicijevo kovino v Kanadi in ZDA.
Despite the existence of the measures in force, Chinese imports kept entering the Union market in increasing quantities, holding a market share of around [17 % - 22 %] during the review investigation periods explained in recital 75 above.
V obravnavanem obdobju so bile v Unijo iz Kanade in ZDA uvožene le neznatne količine silicija.
As stated in recital 89 above, the main other sources of supply to the Union are Norway, Brazil and a number of other countries being an alternative source of silicon imports.
Združeni tržni delež uvoza iz Kanade in ZDA je bil v obravnavanem obdobju precej manj kot 1 %.
The alleged duopoly therefore only holds a market share of 30 %, while imports from a number of third countries hold a market share of 70 %.
Zato je jasno, da združitev FerroGlobe ne more omejiti oskrbe trga Unije s silicijem.
Therefore, users have a choice between silicon metal produced by the Union industry and silicon metal from a variety of other third countries.
Novi carinski zakonik Unije
The argument concerning an alleged duopolistic situation on the Union market can therefore not be accepted.
EUSMET je trdil, da se uporabniki silicija v kemični industriji Unije v prihodnosti v skladu z novim carinskim zakonikom Unije ne bodo mogli zanašati na aktivno oplemenitenje.
Silicon as a critical raw material
EUSMET meni, da v skladu s členom 169(2) delegiranega akta carinskega zakonika Unije [9] od maja 2016 naprej ne bo dovoljena uporaba enakovrednega blaga v okviru postopka aktivnega plemenitenja za izdelke, za katere veljajo ukrepi trgovinske zaščite, kot je silicij.
Eusmet took note of the fact that in 2014 silicon metal was added to the list of Union critical raw materials.
V členu 169(2) je navedeno, da za blago, uvoženo v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja, velja protidampinška dajatev samo, če se blago predela in pozneje sprosti v prosti promet.
The Commission stated in its communication that the 20 raw materials listed ‘are critical because risks of supply shortage and their impacts on the economy are higher than those of most of the other raw materials’ [7].
Če se predelano blago ponovno izvozi, protidampinške dajatve ni treba plačati.
On the same issue of silicon being added to the list of Union critical raw materials, Euroalliages argues that, should the measures be allowed to lapse, this would constitute a threat to sustainable supply of silicon from within the Union.
To bi pomenilo, da v primerjavi s trenutnimi določbami ne bi bilo nobenih sprememb.
The fact of including silicon to this list, as such, did not influence findings of the Commission in the anti-dumping proceeding.
Zdi se torej, da trditev EUSMET v zvezi z novim carinskim zakonikom Unije temelji na napačnem razumevanju člena 169(2) delegiranega akta carinskega zakonika Unije, zato je neutemeljen.
Following disclosure, CCIC and CNMIA submitted that there is a contradiction between the WTO dispute settlement proceeding in respect of export duty applicable to, among other raw materials, silicon [8] and the findings in this case.
Trajanje ukrepov
They submit that the initiation of the WTO dispute, with a possible result in lowering prices of silicon imported from the PRC, confirms that the interest of Union users in access to silicon supply outweighs the interest of Union producers in maintaining the anti-dumping measures.
Zainteresirane strani so navedle, da protidampinški ukrepi na zadevni izdelek, ki veljajo od leta 1990, niso začasen ukrep in bi se zato morali izteči.
The Commission found this argument unfounded.
Pod pogoji osnovne uredbe je ukrepe treba podaljšati, če so izpolnjeni posebni pravni pogoji.
The fact that silicon was among the raw materials subject to the WTO dispute settlement does not remove the need to eliminate the trade distorting effects of injurious dumping and to restore effective competition.
Sklep o interesu Unije
The FerroAtlantica-Globe Speciality Metals merger
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da ni bilo prepričljivih razlogov, da ohranitev ukrepov za uvoz silicija s poreklom iz LRK ni v interesu Unije.
Interested parties argued that the FerroAtlantica-Globe Speciality Metals (‘FerroGlobe’) merger will limit the supply of silicon on the Union market and lead to a dominant position of the merged entity FerroGlobe on the Union market.
TRAJNA NARAVA SPREMENJENIH OKOLIŠČIN
However, Globe Speciality Metals produces silicon metal in Canada and the USA.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 5, je morala Komisija v skladu s zahtevkom za delni vmesni pregled, ki ga je vložil EUSMET, pregledati spremenjene okoliščine in sprejeti sklep o njihovi trajnosti.
During the period considered, only insignificant quantities of silicon were imported into the Union from Canada and the USA.
Te spremembe so se nanašale zlasti na sestavo in strukturo industrije Unije, povpraševanje po siliciju v Uniji ter vzorec oskrbe Unije.
The combined market share of imports from Canada and the USA remained well below 1 % during the period considered.
Euroalliages se je odzval na trditve iz zahtevka in se med drugim ni strinjal z referenčnim obdobjem upoštevanih sprememb, daljšim od preteklih petih let.
It is therefore clear that the FerroGlobe merger cannot limit the supply of silicon on the Union market.
Komisija je sprejela sklep o obstoju številnih okoliščin, ki so se spremenile od prejšnjega pregleda stopnje škode, o katerem je Komisija sprejela sklep v Uredbi (ES) št. 2496/97 [10] („prejšnji pregled škode“), in o tem, da je narava teh sprememb trajna.
The new Union Customs Code
Te spremembe, kot so navedene v uvodni izjavi 173, so večinoma povezane s sestavo in strukturo industrije Unije.
Eusmet argued that silicon users in the Union chemical industry will not be able to rely on inward processing in the future under the new Union Customs Code.
V tem smislu se je število proizvajalcev, ki predstavljajo industrijo Unije, zmanjšalo in je trenutno sestavljeno iz ene skupine proizvajalcev in enega proizvajalca, v primerjavi s štirimi proizvajalci med prejšnjim pregledom škode.
It is Eusmet's understanding that according to Article 169(2) of the Union Customs Code Delegated Act [9], the use of equivalent goods will not be permitted under the inward processing procedure from May 2016 onwards, for products subject to trade defence measures such as silicon.
Eden od proizvajalcev, dejaven med prejšnjim pregledom škode, je prenehal delovati, medtem ko sta se dva druga prej samostojna proizvajalca združila.
Article 169(2) states that goods imported under IPP, only if they are processed and later released for free circulation, would be subject to anti-dumping duty.
Ni dokazov, ki bi kazali, da te spremembe niso trajne.
If the processed goods are re-exported, then there is no anti-dumping duty to pay.
Povpraševanje po siliciju v Uniji iz uvodne izjave 73 se je več kot podvojilo v primerjavi z obdobjem preiskave v okviru prejšnjega pregleda škode.
This would mean no change as compared to the current provisions.
EUSMET je predložil dokaze, da je verjetno, da se bo povpraševanje v Uniji v prihodnjih letih še povečalo.
The argument raised by Eusmet with regard to the new Union Customs Code therefore appears to be based on a misinterpretation of Article 169(2) of the Union Customs Code Delegated Act, and is therefore unfounded.
Zato se šteje, da je povečanje povpraševanja trajno.
Duration of measures
Kar zadeva vzorec oskrbe Unije, je preiskava pokazala, da je Unija vse bolj odvisna od uvoza silicijeve kovine.
Interested parties submitted that the anti-dumping measures on the product concerned that are in force since 1990 are not a temporary measure and should therefore be allowed to lapse.
V obdobju preiskave prejšnjega pregleda škode je bila potrošnja Unije večja od proizvodnje industrije Unije za 134000 ton.
Under conditions set by the basic Regulation, the measures have to be extended if the specific legal conditions are met.
Od takrat se je vrzel povečala na [350000–400000 ton].
Conclusion on Union interest
Zaradi rastočega povpraševanja in visoke izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti industrije Unije se šteje, da je ta sprememba vzorca oskrbe trajna.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that there were no compelling reasons that it is not in the Union interest to maintain the measures on imports of silicon originating in the PRC.
Na podlagi tega je Komisija sklenila, da so spremenjene okoliščine trajne in da je zahtevek za delni vmesni pregled, omejen na škodo, utemeljen.
LASTING NATURE OF THE CHANGED CIRCUMSTANCES
PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
As set out in recital 5 above, following the request for a partial interim review lodged by Eusmet, the Commission, needed to examine and conclude on the lasting nature of the changed circumstances.
Stopnja odprave škode
These changes related mainly to the composition and the structure of the Union industry, to the silicon demand in the Union and to the Union supply pattern.
Za določitev stopnje teh ukrepov je Komisija najprej določila znesek dajatve, potreben za preprečitev ponovitve škode za industrijo Unije.
Euroalliages responded to the arguments included in the request, disagreeing among other elements, with the reference period of the changes observed being longer than the past five years.
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je Komisija sklenila, da je prodaja industrije Unije dobičkonosna.
The Commission concluded on the existence of a number of circumstances that changed since the previous review of the injury level that the Commission concluded in the Regulation (EC) No 2496/97 [10] (‘the previous injury review’), and that the nature of these changes is lasting.
Stopnja odprave škode se zato določi na ravni prodajne cene industrije Unije v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
These changes, as listed in recital 173 above, relate mainly to the composition and structure of the Union industry.
Komisija je nato določila stopnjo odprave škode na podlagi primerjave tehtane povprečne cene uvoza s plačanimi dajatvami iz LRK, kakor je bila določena za nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen v uvodni izjavi 88, in tehtane povprečne cene podobnega izdelka, ki so ga proizvajalci Unije prodajali na trgu Unije v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
In this regard the number of producers constituting the Union industry reduced and constitutes currently of one group of producers and one producer, compared with four producers during the previous injury review.
Kar zadeva ceno uvoza, so štirje vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki prodajali izključno silicij, uvožen v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja, zato zanj ni veljala protidampinška dajatev.
One of the producers active during the previous injury review has ceased operations, while two other previously independent producers have merged.
Teh cen torej ni bilo mogoče uporabiti za določitev stopnje odprave škode.
There are no indications that these changes are not of a lasting nature.
EUSMET, vložnik v vmesnem pregledu, je trdil, da bi bilo treba stopnjo odprave škode izračunati na podlagi vsega uvoza, ne glede na carinski postopek.
The silicon demand in the Union, set out in recital 73 above, more than doubled compared to the investigation period in the previous injury review.
EUSMET in nekatere strani so trdili tudi, da je treba ceni vsega uvoza dodati konvencionalno carino, da se izračuna cena „prostega prometa“, tudi za prodajo v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja, pri katerem se ne plačuje carina.
Eusmet has provided evidence that the demand in the Union is likely to further increase in the coming years.
To trditev utemeljujejo z navajanjem prejšnjih preiskav v zvezi s pregledom.
The increase in demand is therefore considered to be of a lasting nature.
Vendar sta bili prejšnji preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom vmesni pregled, omejen na damping, in pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa.
Concerning the Union supply pattern, the investigation has shown that the Union is increasingly dependent on imports of silicon metal.
Zato v vmesnem pregledu ni bila izračunana stopnja odprave škode, v vzporednem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa pa je bila proučena le verjetnost ponovitve škode.
During the investigation period of the previous injury review, Union consumption exceeded the production of the Union industry by 134000 tonnes.
Prejšnji preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom sta tako imeli drugačen obseg.
Since then, this gap increased to [350000-400000 tonnes].
EUSMET je trdil, da se uvoz izdelkov kemičnega kakovostnega razreda izvaja skoraj izključno v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja, medtem ko uvoz za prosti promet sestavlja večinoma silicij kakovostnega razreda aluminija.
Due to the increasing demand and the high capacity utilisation of the Union industry, this change in supply pattern is considered to be of a lasting nature.
Poleg tega ima uvoz v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja zaradi zahtevnejših specifikacij izdelkov kemičnega kakovostnega razreda za 12 % višjo ceno.
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the changed circumstances are of a lasting nature and that the request for a partial interim review limited to injury is therefore substantiated.
Neupoštevanje te prodaje po višji ceni bi torej izkrivilo določanje stopnje odprave škode.
ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Vendar se protidampinška dajatev na uvoz zaračunava samo za uvoz v Unijo, za katerega veljajo dajatve.
Injury elimination level
Za uvoz v okviru postopka aktivnega oplemenitenja se ne pobirajo dajatve, ker se ne sprošča v prosti promet, zato ni primerno uporabljati takšnih cen za določanje stopnje odprave škode.
To determine the level of the measures, the Commission first established the amount of duty necessary to avoid recurrence of injury to the Union industry.
Zato se stopnja odprave škode določa na podlagi uvoza, za katerega veljajo dajatve.
