The Commission examined whether, as alleged, the above change in the pattern of trade stems from a practice, process or work for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty.
Povečanje indijskega uvoza iz LRK je bilo znatno manjše od povečanja uvoza v Unijo iz Indije.
Analysis of imports from the PRC to India
Med začetkom prvotne preiskave leta 2010 in obdobjem poročanja so sodelujoči indijski proizvajalci izvozniki povečali svoj uvoz iz LRK s 15100 na 19600 ton (+ 29 %), njihov izvoz v Unijo pa s 6600 na 18600 ton (+ 180 %).
The following table shows the imports of the Indian cooperating companies from the PRC, compared with their total sales and exports to the Union.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je bil razvoj uvoza iz LRK tesneje povezan z razvojem skupne prodaje kot z razvojem indijskega izvoza v Unijo.
The Commission notes that those data concern companies accounting for the vast majority of the Indian SSSPT exports to the Union as explained in recital 21 above.
Ko indijski izvoz v Unijo postane ključno gonilo prodaje, je logično povezan s povečanjem kitajskega uvoza.
The Commission therefore considered this data to be sufficiently representative of the relevant Indian industry as far as the exports to the Union are concerned.
Vendar bi se zgodilo isto, če bi se prodaja razvila na domačem ali drugem izvoznem trgu.
Table 2
Čeprav se je delež izvoza v Unijo glede na celotno prodajo povečal s 25 % v obdobju 2009–2010 na 51 % v obdobju poročanja, je delež kitajskega uvoza glede na celotno prodajo v Indiji ostal stabilen pri okrog 50 %.
Indian imports from the PRC (cooperating companies) vs total Indian sales (metric tonnes)
To jasno kaže, da so indijski proizvajalci dosledno uporabljali kombinacijo vhodnih surovin iz LRK in iz drugih virov, uvedba prvotnih dajatev pa na to ni imela nobenega znatnega učinka.

Analiza poslovnega modela
Indian financial year
Poslovni model družb, ki so predstavljale veliko večino izvoza v Unijo, se ni spremenil od uvedbe dajatev.
Total Indian sales (A)
Zadevno prakso so začele pred začetkom prvotne preiskave proti LRK septembra 2010.
Indian imports from the PRC (B)
Za to prakso je v obdobju preiskave obstajala gospodarska upravičenost, kar je razvidno iz dejstva, da so bile te družbe dobičkonosne pred začetkom prvotne preiskave in so imele dobiček do vključno obdobja poročanja.
Ratio Indian imports from the PRC/Total Indian sales (C = B/A)
Pomembno je opozoriti, da zmogljivost za proizvodnjo hladno oblikovanih cevi zahteva znatne naložbe v osnovna sredstva, ki se amortizirajo po več letih.
Indian exports to the Union (D)
Večina družb je imela potrebna osnovna sredstva že pred začetkom prvotne preiskave.
The increase of Indian imports from the PRC was significantly lower than the increase of Union imports from India.
Učinek ukrepov, ki veljajo za kitajski izvoz, na indijski izvoz v Unijo
Between the year of initiation of the original investigation in 2010 and the reporting period, the cooperating Indian exporting producers increased their imports from the PRC from 15,1 to 19,6 thousand tons (+ 29 %) and their exports to the Union from 6,6 to 18,6 thousand tons (+ 180 %).
Povprečna cena indijskih brezšivnih cevi iz nerjavnega jekla, uvoženih v Unijo, pred začetkom prvotne preiskave je bila za 10 % pod ceno brezšivnih cevi iz nerjavnega jekla, uvoženih iz LRK.
The investigation showed that the evolution of imports from the PRC was more closely correlated with the evolution of total sales than with the evolution of Indian exports to the Union.
Po uvedbi dajatve po prvotni preiskavi je indijski uvoz ostal najcenejši vir uvoza na trg Unije.
When Indian exports to the Union start to be a key sales driver, they logically correlate with the increase of Chinese imports.
Komisija opozarja, da zaradi morebitne različne strukture nabora izdelkov povprečnih cen ni mogoče neposredno primerjati.
Yet the same would have occurred if sales had developed on the domestic or other export market.
Vendar so dober pokazatelj ravni cen.
Despite the fact that the share of exports to the Union on total sales increased from 25 % in 2009-10 to 51 % in the reporting period, the ratio of Chinese imports on the total Indian sales remained stable around 50 %.
Po uvedbi ukrepov in znatnem zvišanju cen kitajskega uvoza je povpraševanje Unije seveda dalo priložnost drugim državam izvoznicam, kar so indijski izdelki s svojimi konkurenčnimi cenami lahko dobro izkoristili.
This clearly shows the Indian producers were consistently using a combination of input material from the PRC and from other sources and the imposition of the original duties did not have any significant impact on this.
Čeprav se je v obdobju preiskave delež izvoza v Unijo povečal, je bil trg Unije že pred začetkom prvotne preiskave pomembno izvozno območje za indijske proizvajalce.
Business model analysis
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da so poleg uvedbe dajatev na uvoz brezšivnih cevi iz nerjavnega jekla s poreklom iz LRK za spremembo vzorca trgovanja iz poglavja 2.3.3 obstajali utemeljeni gospodarski razlogi.
The business model of the companies accounting for the vast majority of exports to the Union has not changed since the imposition of the duties.
RAZKRITJE
They started the practice in question before the initiation of the original investigation against the PRC in September 2010.
Vse zainteresirane strani so bile obveščene o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih so bili oblikovani navedeni sklepi, ter pozvane, naj predložijo pripombe.
A due economic justification for this practice existed during the investigation period, shown by the fact that these companies were profitable before the initiation of the original investigation and remained profitable until and including the reporting period.
Vložnik je predložil dodatne informacije v svojih pripombah v zvezi z dokončnim razkritjem.
It is important to note that the capability to produce the cold formed tubes requires significant investment in fixed assets, being depreciated over several years.
Vložnik je podvomil o odločitvi Komisije, da ne preveri edinega sodelujočega kitajskega proizvajalca.
The majority of the companies were equipped by the necessary fixed assets already before the initiation of the original investigation.
Komisija ni preverila podatkov, ki jih je predložil sodelujoči kitajski proizvajalec, ker je njegov izvoz v Indijo predstavljal zanemarljiv delež kitajskega izvoza v Indijo in ker to ne bi pomenilo nobene dodane vrednosti za njeno preiskavo.
Effect of the measures in force on Chinese exports on Indian exports to the Union
Zato je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
The average price of Indian SSSPT imported to the Union before the initiation of the original investigation was 10 % below the price of the SSSPT imported from the PRC.
Vložnik je trdil, da Komisija ni upoštevala dejstva, da je bila večina kitajskega izvoza v ZDA deklarirana kot hladno oblikovane cevi.
After the imposition of a duty following the original investigation, the Indian imports remained the cheapest source of imports on the Union market.
Komisija je potrdila, da kitajski izvoz v ZDA ni bil v obsegu preiskave, in ni videla nobene povezave kitajskega izvoza v ZDA s sedanjim primerom.
The Commission notes that due to the possibly different structure of the product mix the average prices are not directly comparable.
Zato je to trditev zavrnila.
They however give a good indication of the price levels.
Vložnik je tudi trdil, da proizvodna oprema, ki jo uporabljajo nekateri indijski proizvajalci, slednjim omogoča le, da proizvajajo izdelek v preiskavi iz hladno oblikovanih cevi.
After the imposition of the measures and the significant price increase of the Chinese imports, the Union demand naturally opened the opportunity for other exporting countries, which the Indian products at competitive prices were well placed to exploit.
Preverjanje proizvodnih zmogljivosti indijskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je pokazalo, da so zmožni proizvesti brezšivne cevi iz nerjavnega jekla, ki so jih izvažali v Unijo, iz vroče oblikovanih cevi.
Even when the share of exports to the Union increased over the investigation period, the Union market was already an important export destination for Indian producers before the initiation of the original investigation.
Vložnik je tudi podvomil v sklep Komisije o nespremenjenem poslovnem modelu proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki predstavljajo veliko večino izvoza v Unijo.
Therefore, it was concluded that there were reasonable economic grounds, other than the imposition of duties on imports of SSSPT originating in the PRC, for the change in the pattern of trade referred to in chapter 2.3.3 above.
Komisija je to trditev zavrnila, saj so vse preverjene družbe, ki so izvažale v Unijo v obdobju poročanja (razen enega proizvajalca, ki je v Unijo prodal zanemarljivo količino cevi), začele z zadevno prakso, tj. uvozom vroče oblikovanih cevi iz LRK ter proizvodnjo in prodajo brezšivnih cevi iz nerjavnega jekla na domačem trgu in za izvoz, pred začetkom prvotne preiskave.
DISCLOSURE
Vložnik je prav tako trdil, da ugotovitve Komisije temeljijo na razvrstitvi uvoza iz LRK v Indijo, kot jo navajajo sporočeni indijski podatki o uvozu, in ne na razvrstitvi, kot jo navajajo sporočeni kitajski statistični podatki o izvozu.
All interested parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations leading to the above conclusions and were invited to comment.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, kitajski statistični podatki kažejo izvoz hladno oblikovanih cevi, indijski statistični podatki pa uvoz vroče oblikovanih cevi.
The applicant submitted additional information in its comments to final disclosure.
Vložnik je nadalje trdil, da bi Komisija, če bi utemeljila svoje sklepe na indijskih statističnih podatkih o uvozu, ugotovila izogibanje veljavnim ukrepom, saj je bilo 45 % podobnih izdelkov, uvoženih iz LRK v Indijo leta 2015, deklariranih kot cevi.
The applicant questioned the Commission's decision not to verify the sole cooperating Chinese producer.
Po njegovem mnenju nobena obdelava, ki bi lahko potekala v Indiji, ne bi spremenila porekla teh cevi, ki so sicer kitajskega porekla.
The Commission did not verify the data provided by the cooperating Chinese producer as its exports to India represented a negligible share of the Chinese exports to India and would not have brought any added value to the investigation.
Nazadnje je še trdil, da ni bila opravljena nobena nadaljnja raziskava ali oblikovan sklep glede točnosti indijskih statističnih podatkov o uvozu.
Consequently, this claim was rejected.
Zaradi nasprotujočih si kitajskih statističnih podatkov o izvozu in indijskih statističnih podatkov o uvozu Komisija ni utemeljila svojih ugotovitev na teh statističnih podatkih.
The applicant alleged that the Commission dismissed the fact that the majority of Chinese exports to the USA are declared as cold formed.
Glede na zelo visoko stopnjo sodelovanja so njeni sklepi pravzaprav temeljili na preverjenih informacijah, ki so jih predložili sodelujoči indijski proizvajalci.
The Commission confirmed that the Chinese exports to the USA were not in the scope of its investigation and did not see any relevance of the Chinese exports to the USA to the current case.
Preiskava se je osredotočila na dejanske podatke posamezne družbe, ki potrjujejo naravo polizdelkov, ki vstopijo v indijske obrate z valjčnimi stroji, raven njihove obdelave v navedenih obratih in gospodarsko upravičenost take dejavnosti.
The Commission thus dismissed this claim.
Kar zadeva carinsko zakonodajo glede pravil o poreklu, je Komisija ugotovila, da preiskava proti izogibanju upošteva carinsko zakonodajo pri ugotavljanju, ali prihaja do izogibanja veljavnim ukrepom, vendar se ne zanaša zgolj nanjo.
The applicant further claimed that the production equipment used by some Indian producers only allows them to produce the product under investigation starting from cold formed tubes.
Poleg tega se vložnik sklicuje le na uvoz cevi iz LRK v Indijo.
The verification of the production facilities of the Indian exporting producers showed that they are capable of producing the SSSPT they exported to the Union from hot formed tubes.
Obseg izvoza cevi iz Indije v Unijo je za skoraj 90 % manjši od uvoza cevi iz LRK v Indijo, ki ga omenja vložnik.
The applicant also questioned the Commission's conclusion concerning the unchanged business model of the exporting producers accounting for the vast majority of exports to the Union.
Vendar v preiskavi ni bilo odkritih nobenih dokazov o izogibanju omejenemu izvozu cevi iz Indije v Unijo v smislu člena 13(1) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission rejected this claim as all verified companies exporting to the Union in the reporting period (except one producer which sold an insignificant quantity to the Union) started the practice in question, that is importing hot formed tubes from the PRC and producing and selling SSSPT domestically and for export, before the initiation of the original investigation.
Zato so bile te trditve zavrnjene.
The applicant also stated that the Commission based its findings on the classification of imports from the PRC to India as reported by Indian import data, rather than considering the classification reported in the Chinese export statistics.
Vložnik je trdil, da je sklep Komisije, da so indijski proizvajalci skoraj izključno kupovali vroče oblikovane cevi, temeljil izključno na podlagi njihovih naročil.
As set out above, the Chinese statistics shows export of cold formed tubes, whereas the Indian statistics shows import of hot formed tubes.
Komisija je zavrnila to trditev, saj do svojih sklepov ni prišla samo na podlagi naročil, temveč na podlagi vseh razpoložljivih informacij.
The applicant further argued that if the Commission was to base its conclusions on the Indian import statistics, then the Commission should have found circumvention of the measures in force, as 45 % of the like products imported from the PRC into India in 2015 were declared as line pipes.
Med preveritvenim obiskom v Indiji je preučila vhodno surovino polizdelka in proizvodni proces ter končni izdelek vsakega preverjenega indijskega proizvajalca.
According to the applicant, no processing that could take place in India would change the origin of these pipes from Chinese origin.
Vložnik je nadalje trdil, da Komisija ni našla nobenega dokaza, da kitajski proizvajalci niso dobavljali vroče predrtih cevi, ki so šle najprej skozi fazo hladnega oblikovanja v LRK, in vztraja pri trditvi, da nadaljnji postopek v Indiji ne bi zadoščal za dodelitev porekla.
Finally, the applicant noted that no further research was undertaken nor conclusion reached with regard to the accuracy of the data in the Indian import statistics.
Ker ni sodeloval skoraj noben kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik, je Komisija svoje ugotovitve glede faze zaključka polizdelkov, ki so jih indijski proizvajalci kupili od LRK, utemeljila na preverjenih informacijah indijskih proizvajalcev.
Due to the contradicting data provided by both the Chinese export and Indian import statistics, the Commission did not base its findings on this statistical data.
Komisija ni našla nobenega dokaza, da so bili ti že hladno obdelani v LRK.
In fact, given the very high degree of cooperation, the Commission's conclusions were based on the verified information provided by the cooperating Indian producers.
Poleg tega sta narava preverjenega indijskega proizvodnega procesa (vključno z zmogljivostjo hladnega oblikovanja) in pripravljenost kitajskih proizvajalcev, da dobavljajo vroče oblikovane polizdelane cevi v Indijo, v nasprotju s trditvami vložnika.
The investigation focused on the actual company-specific data, confirming the nature of the semi-finished products that enter the Indian mills, the degree of their processing in those mills and the economic justification for such activity.
Tudi če bi bila trditev vložnika, da so bile nekatere polizdelane cevi, ki so bile dobavljene v Indijo, deležne omejene stopnje hladne obdelave v LRK, utemeljena, bi imela taka obdelava le omejen učinek na delo, opravljeno v Indiji.
As regards the customs legislation regarding rules of origin, the Commission noted that an anti-circumvention investigation takes into account but does not rely exclusively on customs legislation to determine whether circumvention of the measures in force is taking place or not.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, je Komisija ugotovila, da so vsi preverjeni indijski proizvajalci izvozniki izvedli znatno preoblikovanje v Indiji, in je določila gospodarsko upravičenost za to dejavnost.
Furthermore, the applicant refers only to imports of line pipe from the PRC into India.
Zato je te trditve zavrnila.
Indeed, the export volume of line pipes from India to the Union is almost 90 % lower than the imports of line pipe from the PRC to India alleged by the applicant.
Poleg tega je vložnik predložil poročilo o enem indijskem proizvajalcu, v katerem je bilo navedeno, da so nekatere cevi, ki jih je ta proizvajalec uvozil iz LRK kot vroče oblikovane, morale biti nadalje hladno oblikovane, saj jih ni mogoče proizvesti v vroče valjanem postopku v valjčnem stroju za prečno prediranje.
However, the investigation found no evidence that these limited exports of line pipe from India to the Union were circumvented within the meaning of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation.
Poročilo temelji na podrobnem poročilu o uvozu tega edinega indijskega proizvajalca iz LRK.
Consequently, these claims were rejected.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je zahtevek omejen na cevi, pridobljene s postopkom vročega prediranja.
The applicant suggested that the Commission's conclusion that the Indian producers have almost exclusively bought hot formed tubes was reached exclusively on the basis of their purchase orders.
Vendar kitajski proizvajalci uporabljajo postopek vročega prediranja in vročega ekstrudiranja.
The Commission rejected this claim, as it reached its conclusions on the basis of all information at its disposal, not merely on the basis of the purchase orders.
Poleg tega je bilo v preiskavi ugotovljeno, da indijski proizvajalci izvozniki uvažajo ekstrudirane in predrte cevi.
During the verification in India the Commission examined the semi-finished input material as well as the production process and the finished product of each verified Indian producer.
Zato ta trditev ne obravnava možnosti, da so bile cevi, ki jih je uvozil ta konkretni indijski obrat z valjčnimi stroji, vroče ekstrudirane.
The applicant further suggested that the Commission found no proof that the Chinese producers did not deliver hot pierced pipes that were subject to a first cold forming step in the PRC, and the applicant maintains that the subsequent process in India would then be insufficient to confer origin.
Poleg tega so bili statistični podatki o uvozu za tega konkretnega proizvajalca predloženi Komisiji šele po dokončnem razkritju, zato jih ni bilo mogoče preveriti.
As there was almost complete non-cooperation of the Chinese exporting producers, the Commission made its findings regarding the stage of completion of the semi-finished products purchased from the PRC by the Indian producers on the basis of the verified information of the Indian producers.
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
The Commission found no evidence that those have been already cold processed in the PRC.
Vložnik je predložil potrditveno elektronsko sporočilo od dveh izbranih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK, ki sta zavrnila dobavo vroče predrtih cevi in sta bila pripravljena ponuditi samo hladno oblikovane cevi.
Furthermore, the nature of the verified Indian production process (including cold forming capability) and the willingness of the Chinese producers to supply the hot formed semi-finished tubes to India, contradicts the applicant's allegation.
Prvič, ob upoštevanju znatnega števila proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK (v prvotni preiskavi je sodelovalo 31 skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov) ni mogoče oblikovati sklepov na podlagi informacij, ki sta jih predložila dva od njih.
In addition, even if the applicant's claim that some semi-finished tubes delivered to India had undergone a limited level of cold processing in the PRC was substantiated, such processing would have had a limited effect on the work carried out in India.
Drugič, Komisija je ugotovila, da to ne obravnava vprašanja, ali so indijski proizvajalci izvozniki zmožni proizvesti izdelek, ki ga izvažajo v Unijo, ampak zgolj razkrije prodajno politiko teh dveh kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Indeed, as pointed out above, the Commission established that all verified exporting producers in India carried out a substantial transformation in India, and established an economic justification for this activity.
Komisija je to trditev zato zavrnila.
Therefore, the Commission rejected those claims.
Vložnik je trdil, da v Indiji ni obratov z valjčnimi stroji za prediranje, ki bi bili zmožni proizvesti vroče predrte cevi s premerom več kot 4 palcev, ter da Komisija tega ni analizirala.
In addition, the applicant provided a report regarding one Indian producer stating that certain pipes imported by this producer from the PRC as hot formed must have been further cold formed, as they cannot be produced in a hot rolled process via a cross roll piercing mill.
Komisija je opozorila, da je brezšivne cevi iz nerjavnega jekla, ki so jih indijski proizvajalci izvozniki izvažali v Unijo, mogoče proizvesti iz vroče oblikovanih cevi s poreklom iz Indije in LRK.
The report is based on a detailed report of imports from the PRC by this single Indian producer.
Oprema, ki je na voljo indijskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, jim omogoča hladno obdelavo kitajskih vroče oblikovanih cevi s premerom več kot 4 palcev.
The Commission observed that the claim is limited to tubes obtained from the hot piercing process.
Zato je bila ta trditev zavrnjena.
However, both the hot piercing and hot extrusion process are used by Chinese producers.
Vložnik je izpodbijal sklep Komisije glede precejšnjega preoblikovanja v uvodni izjavi 33, v kateri je Komisija opisala, da hladno oblikovanje povzroči nepopravljive spremembe bistvenih lastnosti izdelka, in trdil, da stroški preoblikovanja niso znatni.
In addition, the investigation established that the Indian exporting producers import both extruded and pierced tubes.
Komisija je najprej opozorila, da vložnik ni nasprotoval, da se v postopku hladnega oblikovanja spremenijo mere ter fizikalne, mehanske in metalurške lastnosti izdelka.
Therefore, this claim does not address the possibility that the tubes imported by this particular Indian mill were hot extruded.
V svoji oceni je navedla, da je v tem primeru ugotovitev o neizogibanju v skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe temeljila na obstoju zadostnega vzroka in gospodarske upravičenosti za dejavnosti obdelave, ki so se izvedle v Indiji.
In addition, the import statistics for this particular producer were submitted to the Commission only after the final disclosure and could therefore not be verified.
Zato ni bilo treba izvesti kvantitativne ocene stroškov preoblikovanja.
This claim was therefore rejected.
Vložnik je poudaril, da Komisija ni upoštevala, da je večji del uvoza v Unijo iz Indije pred uvedbo ukrepov proti LRK izvedla hčerinska družba enega od proizvajalcev Unije, in je predlagal, da Komisija prilagodi preglednico 1 tako, da odbije navedeni uvoz, zaradi česar bi se izraziteje povečal uvoz iz Indije po uvedbi ukrepov.
The applicant provided an email confirmation from two selected exporting producers in the PRC, who declined to deliver hot pierced tubes and were only ready to offer cold formed pipes.
Vložnik je tudi trdil, da če bi Komisija izključila navedeni izvoz, Unije ne bi bilo mogoče šteti za pomemben izvozni trg za indijske proizvajalce izvoznike pred začetkom prvotne preiskave.
Firstly, taking into account the significant number of exporting producers in the PRC (in the original investigation 31 groups of exporting producers cooperated), no conclusions can be drawn from the information provided by two of them.
Tudi če bi bil izvoz v Unijo navedene hčerinske družbe proizvajalca Unije v Indiji, ki je bil v obdobju preiskave razmeroma stabilen, izključen, to ne bi spremenilo ocene povečanja indijskega izvoza v Unijo.
