In accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation, and as stated in the Notice of Initiation, the Commission examined whether the expiry of the existing duties would be likely to lead to a continuation of subsidisation.
Kitajska vlada je po prejetju poziva k dopolnitvi Komisijo 23. septembra 2016 obvestila o odločitvi, da prekine sodelovanje.
Non-cooperation and the use of best facts available in accordance with Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation
Komisija je zato od kitajske vlade prejela le nekaj nepreverjenih informacij.
As explained above, the GOC initially cooperated with the Commission and replied to the questionnaire.
Prejela ni nobenega izpolnjenega posebnega vprašalnika, namenjenega Kitajski razvojni banki, Kitajski izvozno-uvozni banki, Kitajski kmetijski banki, družbi Sinosure ali vsem drugim finančnim institucijam ali zavarovalnicam, za katere je bilo kitajski vladi znano, da so zagotavljale posojila industriji premazanega finega papirja.
However, since this reply was highly deficient, a deficiency letter was sent on 2 September 2016.
Komisija je vse zainteresirane strani obvestila o posledicah nesodelovanja in jim dala možnost, da predložijo pripombe.
After receiving the deficiency letter, the GOC on 23 September 2016 informed the Commission about its decision to discontinue cooperation.
V zvezi s tem ni bila prejeta nobena pripomba.
The Commission therefore received only a limited amount of unverified information from the GOC.
Komisija je menila, da je treba v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe za ugotovitev o nadaljevanju subvencijskih praks LRK v papirni industriji uporabiti najboljša razpoložljiva dejstva.
The Commission did not receive any replies to specific questionnaires intended for the China Development Bank, EXIM, Agricultural Bank of China, Sinosure or any other financial or insurance institution known by the GOC to have provided loans to the coated fine paper industry.
Pritožbeni organ je glede uporabe razpoložljivih dejstev opozoril, da se lahko v skladu s členom 12(7) Sporazuma o subvencijah in izravnalnih ukrepih predložena dejstva uporabiti le zaradi nadomestitve morebitnih manjkajočih informacij, da bi se natančno ugotovilo subvencioniranje ali škoda.
The Commission made all interested parties aware of the consequences of non-cooperation and gave them the opportunity to comment.
V zvezi s tem je pojasnil, da „mora biti med manjkajočimi ‚potrebnimi informacijami‘ in posameznimi ‚razpoložljivimi dejstvi‘ povezava, na kateri temelji ugotovitev na podlagi člena 12(7)“.
No comments in this regard were received.
Zato mora „preiskovalni organ […] za natančno ugotovitev uporabiti navedena ‚razpoložljiva dejstva‘, ki ‚ustrezno nadomestijo informacije, ki jih zainteresirana stran ni predložila‘.“ Pritožbeni organ je pojasnil tudi, da se „razpoložljiva dejstva“ nanašajo na tista dejstva, ki jih ima preiskovalni organ in so uradno evidentirana.
The Commission, in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation, considered the use of best facts available necessary in order to examine the continuation of subsidy practices of the PRC in the paper industry.
Ugotovitve na podlagi člena 12(7) se sprejmejo na podlagi „razpoložljivih dejstev“ in jih ni mogoče „sprejeti na podlagi predvidevanj, ki ne temeljijo na dejstvih, ali na podlagi domnev“.
On the use of facts available, the Appellate Body has recalled that Article 12.7 of the SCM Agreement permits the use of facts on record solely for the purpose of replacing information that may be missing, in order to arrive at an accurate subsidization or injury determination.
Poleg tega mora preiskovalni organ pri utemeljitvi in presoji, katera razpoložljiva dejstva lahko ustrezno nadomestijo manjkajoče informacije, „upoštevati vsa uradno evidentirana utemeljena dejstva“.
Accordingly, the Appellate Body has explained that ‘there has to be a connection between the ‘necessary information’ that is missing and the particular ‘facts available’ on which a determination under Article 12.7 is based.’
Pritožbeni organ je pojasnil, da določitev „ustreznih nadomestil za manjkajoče ‚potrebne informacije‘ vključuje utemeljitev in presojo“ s strani preiskovalnega organa.
Therefore, ‘an investigating authority must use those ‘facts available’ that ‘reasonably replace the information that an interested party failed to provide’, with a view to arriving at an accurate determination.’
Kadar ima preiskovalni organ na voljo več dejstev, med katerimi mora izbrati, „iz tega seveda očitno izhaja, da se pri utemeljitvi in presoji izvede določena primerjava“, da se sprejme natančna ugotovitev.
The Appellate Body has further explained that ‘the facts available’ refers to those facts that are in the possession of the investigating authority and on its written record.
Zahtevana presoja „razpoložljivih dejstev“ in oblika, v kateri se lahko izvede, sta odvisni od posebnih okoliščin zadevnega primera, vključno z naravo, kakovostjo in obsegom uradno evidentiranih dokazov, ter posameznih ugotovitev, ki jih je treba sprejeti.
As determinations made under Article 12.7 are to be made on the basis of ‘the facts available’, ‘they cannot be made on the basis of non-factual assumptions or speculation.’
Narava in obseg pojasnila in analize, ki se zahtevata, se bosta med posameznimi ugotovitvami nujno razlikovali [10].
Furthermore, in reasoning and evaluating which facts available can reasonably replace the missing information, ‘all substantiated facts on the record must be taken into account’ by an investigating authority.
Zato je Komisija za svojo analizo uporabila vsa dejstva, ki jih je imela na voljo, zlasti:
Where there are several facts available to an investigating authority that it needs to choose from, ‘it would seem to follow naturally that the process of reasoning and evaluation would involve a degree of comparison’ in order to arrive at an accurate determination.
predložitev, ki je bila v okviru te preiskave vložena v imenu ministrstva Ljudske republike Kitajske za trgovino;
The evaluation of the ‘facts available’ that is required, and the form it may take, depend on the particular circumstances of a given case, including the nature, quality, and amount of evidence on the record and the particular determinations to be made.
informacije, ki so jih predložili kitajska vlada in vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki, ter ugotovitve iz prvotne preiskave in
The nature and extent of the explanation and analysis required will necessarily vary from determination to determination [10].
prejšnje protisubvencijske preiskave, ki jih je Komisije izvedla proti drugim spodbujanim industrijam v LRK, kot so tiste v zvezi s fotonapetostnimi moduli iz kristalnega silicija, kjer je upoštevala prvotno preiskavo („prvotna preiskava v zvezi s solarnimi paneli“) [11] in pregled zaradi izteka ukrepov („pregled zaradi izteka ukrepov v zvezi s solarnimi paneli“) [12], izdelki iz brezkončnih steklenih vlaken [13], solarnim steklom [14] in jeklenimi izdelki, prevlečenimi z organskimi premazi [15].
Accordingly, the Commission used for its analysis all facts available to it, in particular:
Subvencije in programi subvencij, proučeni v sedanji preiskavi
the request for an expiry review under Article 18 of the basic Regulation concerning anti-subsidy duties on imports of Coated Fine Paper from China, of 11 February 2016;
Komisija se je zaradi nesodelovanja kitajske vlade in navedenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov odločila proučiti, ali se je subvencioniranje nadaljevalo, kot sledi.
the response to the anti-subsidy questionnaire provided by the GOC on 24 June 2016.
Najprej je proučila, ali je imela industrija premazanega finega papirja še naprej korist od subvencij, proti katerim so bili v prvotni preiskavi uvedeni izravnalni ukrepi.
The information in this response due to the fact that the GOC stopped cooperation was neither verified, nor completed following the deficiency letter;
Nato je analizirala, ali je imela zadevna industrija korist od novih subvencij, kot je bilo navedeno v zahtevku (tj. subvencij, proti katerim v prvotni preiskavi izravnalni ukrepi niso bili uvedeni).
the submission filed on behalf of the Ministry of Commerce of the People's Republic of China in the framework of this investigation;
Komisija je sklenila, da glede na ugotovitve o obstoju nadaljnjega subvencioniranja v zvezi z večino subvencij, proti katerim so bili v prvotni preiskavi uvedeni izravnalni ukrepi, in o novih subvencijah ni treba preiskati vseh drugih subvencij, ki naj bi obstajale po trditvah pritožnika.
the information provided by the GOC and the sampled exporting producers as well as the findings of the original investigation; and
V skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe bi morala Komisija dejansko proučiti, ali obstajajo dokazi o nadaljevanju subvencioniranja, in to ne glede na njegov znesek.
previous anti-subsidy investigations carried out by the Commission against other encouraged industries in the PRC, such as crystalline silicon photovoltaic modules, both the original investigation (‘the solar panels original investigation’) [11] and the expiry review (‘the solar panels expiry review’) [12], filament glass fibre products [13], solar glass [14] and organic coated steel [15].
Subvencije, proti katerim so bili v prvotni preiskavi uvedeni izravnalni ukrepi
Subsidies and subsidy programmes examined in the current investigation
I. Preferenčna posojila
In view of the lack of cooperation by the GOC and the exporting producers mentioned above, the Commission decided to examine whether there was continuation of subsidisation as follows.
Komisija je v prvotni preiskavi ugotovila, da znesek subvencije ad valorem za ta ukrep znaša 5,37 % za skupino APP [16] in 1,26 % za skupino Chenming [17].
First, the Commission examined whether the subsidies countervailed in the original investigation continued to confer benefit to the coated fine paper industry.
Posredovanje vlade v korist industrije premazanega finega papirja
Subsequently, the Commission analysed whether the coated fine paper industry benefitted from new subsidies as alleged in the request (i.e. subsidies which were not countervailed in the original investigation).
Komisija je najprej proučila, ali so preferenčna posojila tako kot v prvotni preiskavi del centralnega načrtovanja s strani kitajske vlade, katerega namen je spodbujanje razvoja industrije za izdelavo papirja.
The Commission decided that, in view of the findings of existence of continued subsidisation with respect to most of the subsidies countervailed in the original investigation as well as new subsidies, there was no need to investigate all the other subsidies alleged to exist by the complainant.
Industrija premazanega finega papirja, ki jo je preiskovala Komisija, je del obsežnejše kategorije papirne industrije, imenovane tudi industrija za izdelavo papirja.
Indeed, pursuant to Article 18 of the basic Regulation, the Commission should examine whether there is evidence of continued subsidisation, regardless of its amount.
Vložnik je trdil, da kitajska vlada še naprej subvencionira svojo papirno industrijo, pri čemer je navedel številne dokumente politike in načrtovanja ter zakonodajo, ki so podlaga za nadaljnjo državno podporo tej industriji.
Subsidies countervailed in the original investigation
Komisija je v prvotni preiskavi ugotovila, da v zvezi s papirno industrijo obstajajo posebni načrti politike.
I. Preferential lending
Ti načrti so določali, da vladni organi skrbno spremljajo uspešnost papirne industrije in izvajajo posebne politike (npr. izvedbene odloke) za izpolnjevanje ciljev načrtov politike.
In the original investigation the Commission established the ad valorem subsidy amount with regard to this measure was 5,37 % for the APP Group [16] and 1,26 % for the Chenming Group [17].
Poleg tega je preiskava pokazala, da posebni načrti politike industriji za izdelavo papirja zagotavljajo preferenčna posojila.
Government intervention in favour of the coated fine paper industry
Komisija je v sedanji preiskavi ugotovila, da posredovanje kitajske vlade še vedno izkrivlja finančni trg v LRK.
The Commission first examined whether preferential lending forms part of the implementation of the GOC's central planning, which aims to encourage the development of the papermaking industry, as was the case in the original investigation.
Ugotovitve v prvotni preiskavi, ki so temeljile na takrat veljavnih vladnih načrtih, so bile potrjene v tej preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepov.
The coated fine paper industry that was subject to the Commission's investigation constitutes part of a wider category of the paper industry, also referred to as papermaking industry.
Papirna industrija je v 12. petletnem načrtu [18], ki se je uporabljal v OPP, in pred tem v 11. petletnem načrtu še vedno navedena kot „spodbujana industrija“.
The applicant alleged that the GOC continues to subsidise its paper industry and referred to a number of policy and planning documents as well as legislation which are the basis for continuation of the State support to this industry.
petletni načrt (2016–2020) se nanaša na obdobje po obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom, vendar potrjuje, da se bo subvencioniranje nadaljevalo tudi v prihodnosti.
In the original investigation the Commission established the existence of specific policy plans with respect to the paper industry.
Papirna industrija je namreč tudi v 13. petletnem načrtu izpostavljena kot „spodbujana industrija“.
These plans stipulated that the government authorities closely monitor the performance of the paper industry and implement special policies (e.g. implementing decrees) for the fulfilment of the goals of the policy plans.
Komisija je v prvotni preiskavi glede sklepa št. 40 državnega sveta [19] („sklep št. 40“) ugotovila, da je ta akt odredba državnega sveta, tj. najvišjega upravnega organa v LRK, ter je kot tak za druge javne organe in gospodarske subjekte pravno zavezujoč.
Furthermore, the investigation also established that the specific policy plans provide for preferential lending to the paper making industry.
V sklepu so bili industrijski sektorji uvrščeni med „spodbujane, omejene in izključene projekte“.
The Commission in the current investigation established that the financial market in the PRC continues to be distorted by the interventions of the GOC.
Ta akt je bil zavezujoč dokument za industrijsko politiko, ki kaže, da kitajska vlada ohranja politiko podpiranja skupin podjetij ali industrij, kot je papirna industrija, ki jih kataloški seznam uvršča med „spodbujano industrijo“.
The findings of the original investigation based on government plans in force at that time are upheld in this expiry review investigation.
Komisija je na podlagi predložitve kitajske vlade v tej preiskavi potrdila, da sklep št. 40 še vedno velja.
Both the 12th Five-Year Plan [18] applicable during the RIP and the previous 11th Five-Year Plan continue to indicate the paper industry as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
Industrij, ki so navedene kot „spodbujane“, je skupno 26 in so le del kitajskega gospodarstva.
The 13th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020) concerns the period following the review investigation period, but confirms the continuation of subsidisation also in the future.
Poleg tega imajo v teh 26 sektorjih le nekatere dejavnosti status „spodbujanih“ dejavnosti.
Indeed, the 13th Five-Year Plan singles out the paper industry as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
Člen 17 sklepa št. 40 določa tudi, da so „spodbujani investicijski projekti“ upravičeni do posebnih ugodnosti in spodbud (finančna podpora, oprostitev uvozne dajatve, oprostitev plačila DDV, oprostitev davka).
In the original investigation the Commission established with reference to the ‘Decision No 40 of the State Council’ [19] (‘Decision No 40’), that this act is an order from the State Council, i.e. the highest administrative body in the PRC, and so legally binding on other public bodies and economic operators.
S sklepom št. 40 v zvezi z „omejenimi in izključenimi projekti“ so državni organi pooblaščeni, da neposredno posredujejo in urejajo trg.
It classified the industrial sectors into ‘Encouraged, Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’.
Dejansko morajo v skladu s členoma 18 in 19 ustrezni organi finančnim institucijam preprečiti dodeljevanje posojil, upravni oddelek za državne cene mora dvigniti cene električne energije, družbe za dobavo električne energije pa morajo ustaviti dobavo električne energije takim „omejenim in izključenim projektom“.
This Act represented a binding industrial policy document that shows how the GOC maintains a policy of supporting groups of enterprises or industries, such as the paper industry, classified by the Directory Catalogue as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
Iz navedenega je očitno, da sklep št. 40 določa obvezujoče predpise in navodila za vse gospodarske institucije in subjekte v obliki direktiv glede spodbujanja in podpore spodbujanih industrij, med katerimi je tudi industrija za izdelavo papirja.
On the basis of the GOC's submission in this investigation, the Commission confirmed that Decision No 40 is still in force.
Komisija je v sedanji preiskavi ugotovila, da je papirna industrija v številnih dokumentih politike izrecno navedena kot „spodbujana industrija“.
With respect to the number of industries listed as ‘Encouraged’, there are in total 26, representing only a portion of the Chinese economy.
To velja zlasti za 12. petletni načrt za papirno industrijo.
Furthermore, only certain activities within these 26 sectors are given ‘encouraged’ status.
Ta načrt se izvaja z 12. petletnim programom za industrijske tehnološke inovacije, ki ga je pripravilo ministrstvo za industrijo in informacijsko tehnologijo.
Article 17 of Decision No 40 also stipulates that the ‘Encouraged investment projects’ shall benefit from specific privileges and incentives (financial support, import duty exemption, VAT exemption, tax exemption).
V tem programu je navedeno tudi spodbujanje „industrijskega prestrukturiranja in nadgradnje […] papirne industrije in povezanih industrij“.
With reference to the ‘Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’, Decision No 40 empowers the State authorities to intervene directly to regulate the market.
Podobno je v sklepu št. 40 navedena podpora razvoju in posodobitvi papirne industrije.
In fact, Articles 18 and 19 require the relevant authority to stop financial institutions from supplying loans; they also order the State price administrative department to raise the electricity price and instruct the electricity supply companies to stop supplying electricity to such ‘Restrictive and Eliminated Projects’.
V teh načrtih politike torej niso le navedene splošne izjave o spodbujanju, ampak je subjektom naloženo, da delujejo v skladu s ciljem javne politike glede podpore razvoja industrije premazanega finega papirja.
It is obvious from the above that Decision No 40 provides binding rules and instructions to all the economic institutions and entities in the form of directives on the promotion and support of encouraged industries, one of which is the paper making industry.
Poleg tega so v razvojni politiki za industrijo za izdelavo papirja iz leta 2007 („načrt za industrijo za izdelavo papirja iz leta 2007“) za to industrijo predpisani posebni pogoji, usmeritve in cilji.
The Commission established in the current investigation that a number of policy documents indicate the paper industry explicitly as an ‘Encouraged industry’.
Kot je bilo ugotovljeno v prvotni preiskavi, je v načrtu za industrijo za izdelavo papirja iz leta 2007 opisan položaj industrije za izdelavo papirja na Kitajskem (npr. število podjetij, proizvodnja, potrošnja in izvoz, statistični podatki o vrsti uporabljenih surovin).
This concerns in particular the 12th Five-Year Plan for the Paper Industry.
V njem so določeni politike in cilji industrije za izdelavo papirja v zvezi z industrijsko postavitvijo, uporabo surovin, tehnologije in opreme, strukturo izdelka in organizacijsko strukturo proizvajalcev papirja.
This plan is implemented by the 12th Five-Year Industrial Technology Innovation Program issued by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology.
V besedilu so določena tudi „merila za sprejem“ industrije, saj so v njem predpisane posebne zahteve glede razmerja med obveznostmi in sredstvi za industrijo za izdelavo papirja ter določeni posebne bonitetne ocene za industrijo za izdelavo papirja in posebni cilji za ekonomijo obsega, tržne deleže ter porabo energije in vode, ki jih morajo doseči družbe.
Similarly, the above mentioned Decision No 40 indicates support for the development and modernisation of the paper industry.
Načrt za industrijo za izdelavo papirja iz leta 2007 je torej poseben državni instrument, ki je namenjen urejanju industrije za izdelavo papirja na Kitajskem in ga je mogoče šteti le za obvezen instrument industrijske politike, ki ga morajo ustrezne zainteresirane strani na Kitajskem (državni organi, finančne institucije in proizvajalci) dejansko izvajati.
Thus, rather than general statements of encouragement, these policy plans direct entities to comply with the public policy objective of supporting the development of the coated fine paper industry.
Ker je papirna industrija v 12. in 13. petletnem načrtu še vedno navedena kot „spodbujana“ industrija in ker ni bilo nobenega dokumenta, ki bi nasledil ali spremenil načrt za industrijo za izdelavo papirja iz leta 2007, je Komisija sklenila, da načrt za industrijo za izdelavo papirja iz leta 2007 še vedno velja.
In addition, the 2007 Development Policy for the Papermaking Industry (‘the 2007 Papermaking Plan’) provides specific conditions, orientations and targets for the papermaking industry.
Poleg tega je na splošni ravni v členu 34 zakona o poslovnem bančništvu (2015) št. 34 navedeno, da poslovne banke svojo posojilno dejavnost izvajajo v skladu s potrebami nacionalnega gospodarskega in družbenega razvoja ter smernicami industrijske politike države.
As found in the original investigation, the 2007 Papermaking Plan describes the state of the papermaking industry in China (e.g. number of enterprises, production, consumption and exports, statistics on the type of raw materials used).
To pomeni, da se posojila, ki jih proizvajalci premazanega finega papirja prejmejo od bank v državni lasti in drugih finančnih institucij, dodelijo v skladu z direktivami vlade in javnimi cilji.
It sets out the policies and goals for the papermaking industry with respect to the industrial layout, the use of raw materials, the use of technology and equipment, the product structure and the organizational structure of the papermaking producers.
Nazadnje je Komisija opozorila na svoje ugotovitve v prvotni preiskavi v zvezi z vlogo komisije za nacionalni razvoj in reforme.
The text also sets industry ‘admission criteria’, as it lays down specific assets/liability ratio requirements for the papermaking industry, sets specific credit ratings for the papermaking industry and specific targets for economies of scale, market share ratios, energy and water consumption to be achieved or attained by companies.
Komisija za nacionalni razvoj in reforme je agencija državnega sveta, ki usklajuje makroekonomsko politiko in upravlja naložbe vlade.
It requests enterprises to formulate development plans based on the 2007 Papermaking Plan.
Državni svet, ki je najvišji vladni upravni organ, je med drugim izdal načrt za industrijo za izdelavo papirja iz leta 2007, ki ga mora komisija za nacionalni razvoj in reforme upoštevati.
It also instructs the local provinces and regions to participate in the implementation of the plan, while an entire chapter is devoted to ‘Investment and Financing’ of the papermaking industry.
V prvotni preiskavi je bilo tudi ugotovljeno, da komisija za nacionalni razvoj in reforme pri družbah redno zbira podrobne podatke.
In this respect it is pertinent to note that the Plan clearly states that financial institutions shall not provide loans for any project which does not comply with its regulations.
Obstoj sistematičnega mehanizma za zbiranje podatkov v zvezi z družbami, ki se uporabljajo v vladnih načrtih in projektih, kaže, da se ti načrti in projekti štejejo za pomemben element državne industrijske politike.
