natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
In this respect, as already set out in recital (223) of the provisional Regulation, absent any other reliable data, the Commission equated these figures made for the steel industry as a whole to the product concerned, as HRF makes up a big proportion of the crude steel production.
Ta zainteresirana stran je tudi navedla, da v nasprotju z zadevo v zvezi s hladno valjanimi izdelki začasno razkritje ni izrecno potrdilo, da je bila uporabljena ta metodologija.
Third, concerning the remark to either use profitability data from the period 2012-2014 or from the year 2011, this does not seem appropriate.
Komisija je potrdila, da je namen izračuna stopnje škode ugotoviti, ali bi uvedba nižje stopnje dajatve (od tiste, ki temelji na stopnji dampinga) na izvozno ceno dampinškega uvoza zadostovala za odpravo škode, ki jo povzroči dampinški uvoz.
The target profit is the price which the Union industry could reasonably count on under normal conditions of competition, in the absence of the dumped imports.
Pri izvozu prek povezanih uvoznikov je izvozna cena konstruirana na podlagi cene pri nadaljnji prodaji prvi neodvisni stranki, ustrezno prilagojene v skladu s členom 2(9) osnovne uredbe.
As mentioned in recital (106) of the provisional Regulation, the years 2012, 2013 and 2014 cannot be considered to be years under normal conditions of competition, given the aftermath of the Eurozone debt crisis, and the decline of steel demand in 2012.
Ker je izvozna cena nujen element za izračun stopnje škode in ker je ta določba osnovne uredbe edina določba, ki zagotavlja navodila o oblikovanju izvozne cene, je njena uporaba po analogiji utemeljena.
Furthermore, as found in the cold-rolled case [20], data of 2011 cannot be relied upon due to the impact of the 2009 financial crisis which still impacted the profitability data two years later.
Združenje CISA je po dokončnem razkritju izrazilo presenečenje, da je Komisija po analogiji uporabila člen 2(9) osnovne uredbe.
On the basis of the above the Commission confirmed that the 7 % target profit was the most appropriate basis in this threat of injury-case.
Trdilo je, da ta uporaba pomeni kršitev samega člena 2(9) osnovne uredbe in da jo razveljavlja očitna napaka pri presoji.
This understanding is in line with the judgment of the Court [21] that the analysis of whether there is a threat of injury requires, by its very nature, a prospective analysis.
Trdilo je tudi, da je vsaj en vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik izvažal prek povezanih uvoznikov in da bo zato njegova dokončna stopnja dajatve precenjena.
Definitive measures
Prvič, Komisija je znova poudarila, da je člen 2(9) osnovne uredbe edina določba osnovne uredbe, ki zagotavlja navodila o oblikovanju izvozne cene.
Access to confidential data
Zato je njegova uporaba utemeljena v okviru izračuna stopnje škode.
The legal representative of a Chinese exporting producer claimed that the information disclosed in the provisional disclosure does not allow him commenting on the correctness and relevance of the Commission's findings concerning dumping margin, price effects and injury margin calculations, including whether the undercutting and underselling calculations took into account all of the sampled Union producers' sales, or only those for which there were sales of matching product types by the Chinese exporting producers.
Drugič, v nasprotju s trditvami je praksa Komisije v zadnjih primerih, da se v okviru izračuna stopnje škode po analogiji dosledno [23] uporablja člen 2(9) osnovne uredbe.
In this context, on 8 November 2016 the Chinese exporting producer requested clarifications.
Tretjič, namen izračunov škode ni izmeriti stopnje škode, ki jo povezani uvozniki povzročajo proizvajalcem Unije, temveč ugotoviti, ali ima zaradi nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih in ciljnih cen proizvajalcev Unije tak učinek izvoz, ki ga opravijo kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki.
Moreover, on 8 November 2016 and following definitive disclosure, the Chinese exporting producer also requested access to certain confidential information.
Skratka, Komisija je potrdila, da je pri določitvi izvoznih cen za prodajo prek povezanih uvoznikov uporabila to metodologijo.
It suggested that this confidential information would only be accessed by the legal representatives, or in the alternative, to involve the Hearing Officer.
Obdobje, ki ga je treba uporabiti za izračun stopnje škode v primeru grožnje škode
The Commission services replied on 8 December 2016 that the undercutting and underselling calculations took only into account the matching product types to compare the sales data of the Chinese exporting producer with the sales data from EU producers.
Pritožnik je kritiziral dejstvo, da je Komisija začasno uporabila standardni pristop k znatni škodi, ko je za celotno OP (tj. leto 2015) upoštevala povprečno stopnjo škode.
In any case, the volume of comparable products sold by the Union industry represented 62 % of its total export volume.
Trdil je, da to ni pravilen pristop, saj mora stopnja grožnje škode izražati grožnjo, ko pa se grožnja pozneje med OP uresniči, mora stopnja škode izražati dejanski učinek grožnje.
In this regard, products exported to the Union by this specific exporting producer could be matched with a comparable Union product.
Da bi Komisija uspešno odpravila učinek grožnje škode, bi morala proučiti tiste dele OP, v katerih se je grožnja škode začela uresničevati.
Furthermore, they informed the legal representative of that party that his request to access confidential information could not be accepted since the Commission is bound to protect the confidentiality of the data of the other interested parties.
V zvezi s tem se je pritožnik skliceval na dejstvo, da je začela grožnja škode vplivati na jeklarsko industrijo Unije v drugi polovici leta 2015.
Since under current law there are no other means to protect the confidentiality and, at the same time, to provide parties with the requested information, the Commission services invited him to contact the Hearing Officer to have the latter to verify the confidential information.
Če Komisija ne bi bila pripravljena spremeniti metode izračuna stopnje (grožnje) škode, bi morala industrija počakati dlje, in sicer bi morala znatna škoda trajati celo leto, da bi se dobila realna stopnja škode, preden bi lahko zahtevala zaščito pred dampinškim uvozom.
In this context, following definitive disclosure, the complainant commented in this respect that the Commission is legally obliged to protect the confidential data submitted by all interested parties.
Tako ravnanje bi negativno vplivalo na delovna mesta in industrijske dejavnosti na trgu Unije ter tudi ogrozilo cilje pritožb v zvezi z grožnjo škode.
It therefore refused to waive the protection granted to its confidential data by Article 19 of the Basic Regulation.
Komisija je po podrobni analizi trditev pritožnika spomnila na svoj začasni sklep, da ob koncu obdobja preiskave obstajajo jasno predvidljive in neizbežne spremembe okoliščin, ki bodo ustvarile razmere, v katerih bo damping povzročil škodo.
Under current Union law, as interpreted by the case-law, it is not legally possible to grant access to the confidential data provided by an interested party to any other party, unless with the consent of the provider of the data, or in case of litigation before the Union Courts.
V zvezi s tem se je med drugim sklicevala na uvodne izjave 157, 159 in 198 začasne uredbe, v katerih je navedeno: „Čeprav je industrija Unije leta 2014 in v prvih dveh četrtletjih leta 2015 okrevala, so začeli v drugi polovici 2015 skoraj vsi kazalniki škode strmo padati.
The only alternative is the control mechanism provided by Article 15 of the Decision of the President of the Commission of 29 February 2012 on the function and terms of reference of the Hearing Officer [22].
Preiskava je pokazala, da se ta negativni trend, ki se je začel v drugi polovici leta 2015, ni preobrnil niti v prvi polovici leta 2016.“ V uvodni izjavi 163 začasne uredbe je tudi navedeno: „Glede na časovno sovpadanje med, na eni strani, vse večjo stopnjo dampinškega uvoza po vedno nižjih cenah, in po drugi strani, izgubo tržnega deleža industrije Unije ter padca cen, ki je povzročil nadaljnje izgube zlasti od druge polovice leta 2015 naprej, je Komisija zaključila, da je dampinški uvoz negativno vplival na položaj industrije Unije.“
A hearing in the presence of the Hearing Officer took place on 7 February 2017, discussing the legal framework concerning access to confidential data.
Drugič, kar zadeva glavno stvar, je Komisija ugotovila, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 157 začasne uredbe, da se je negativni trend začel v drugi polovici leta 2015 ter ob koncu obdobja preiskave vodil k jasno predvidljivim in neizbežnim spremembam okoliščin, ki bodo ustvarile razmere, v katerih bo damping povzročil škodo, če ukrepi ne bodo sprejeti.
Request for further clarifications following definitive disclosure
To je v skladu z navedbo Komisije v uvodni izjavi 113 začasne uredbe, da so „proizvajalci Unije […] delno okrevali leta 2014 in v prvi polovici leta 2015“.
Following definitive disclosure, the legal representative of the same Chinese exporting producer was first heard on 12 January 2017 to discuss in detail its requested clarifications.
Zato druga polovica leta 2015 bolje izraža dejanski učinek grožnje škode na industrijo Unije, ki bi ga bilo treba odpraviti.
After this meeting, he reiterated in its written submission of the same day his request to be provided with information about the injury calculations ‘to understand the nature and extent of the price effects that allegedly exist’.
Tretjič, Sodišče je razsodilo, da je analiza podatkov za obdobje po preiskavi zlasti primerna v preiskavi za določitev, ali obstaja grožnja škode, za kar je po naravi stvari potrebna analiza, ki je usmerjena v prihodnost.
On 18 January 2017, the Commission services provided in a separate letter all clarifications to the extent possible — i.e. without violating the legal obligation of the basic regulation to protect confidential data — which the legal representative of this Chinese exporting producer had requested.
Po mnenju Komisije se zdi druga polovica leta 2015 ustreznejša za izpolnitev te zahteve, saj je bližje prihodnjemu razvoju dogodkov kot celotno OP.
Furthermore, the Commission noted that there is 100 % matching between the 10 product types of the product concerned sold by this Chinese exporting producer and those sold by the Union producers.
Četrtič, izračun na podlagi celotnega obdobja preiskave, ne glede na morebitne znake negativnih trendov, bi ogrozil cilj primera grožnje škode, ki je učinkovito in preventivno ukrepanje, preden grožnja škode povzroči škodo.
Moreover, only one out of the 10 product types represents about 75 % of his total sales volumes in the Union during the IP.
Na podlagi vseh navedenih razlogov je Komisija sprejela stališče, da bi moralo obdobje za izračun stopenj škode v tem določenem primeru temeljiti na drugi polovici leta 2015 in ne na celotnem obdobju preiskave.
Including a so-called ‘importers margin’ in the calculation of underselling and undercutting margins
Zato je Komisija zahtevala dodatne podatke sodelujočih proizvajalcev.
Following provisional and definitive disclosure, one Chinese exporting producer challenged the way the Commission had calculated the injury margin.
Prejela je dodatne četrtletne podatke za OP o stroških proizvodnje vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije na vrsto izdelka in je nato te podatke preverila.
This interested party alleged that the Chinese sales prices must be adjusted by a so-called ‘importers margin’, i.e. including customs clearance, handling, financing, SG&A, and profit (in an amount of 5 %).
Preverjanje se je nanašalo zgolj na dodatne predložene podatke, ki se prej niso zahtevali, s čimer je Komisija zagotovila, da so bili podatki, na katerih je nazadnje utemeljila svoje ugotovitve, zanesljivi.
As such, the importer ex-warehouse price would include similar cost elements to those of the Union industry's corresponding ex-works selling price.
Glede na to, da se je raven sodelovanja štela za visoko, je bila dokončna stopnja škode za LRK, ki se uporablja za nevzorčene sodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike, izračunana kot povprečje treh vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov/skupin družb.
Furthermore, the interested party alleged that the Commission took a mere landed price (that is, without any adjustment for SG&A and profit) which is not sufficient to carry out an appropriate comparison between the respective prices of Chinese exporting producers and Union producers for undercutting and underselling calculations.
Dokončna stopnja škode za LRK, ki se uporablja za nesodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike, je bila določena na ravni najvišje stopnje treh sodelujočih družb/skupin družb.
To support its point, the interested party referred to two provisional Regulations, both dating from over 20 years ago.
Združenje CISA je po dokončnem razkritju navedlo, da se je kot podlaga za izračun ciljne cene na enoto industrije Unije uporabilo celotno OP, medtem ko se je za izračun prodajne cene na enoto v prostem prometu v Uniji za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, ki pripadajo skupini Shagang, uporabilo le šest mesecev OP.
This Chinese exporting producer also alleged that the Commission had disregarded the fact that the export price at the Union frontier level would be affected by the relationship between the exporter and the importer.
Zato je od Komisije zahtevalo, naj obe vrednosti znova izračuna na podlagi razpoložljivih podatkov za isto obdobje.
By doing so, the Commission would end up using, in fine, the transfer price between the related companies as a basis for the comparison with the ex-factory prices of the Union industry.
Po analizi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je navedba združenja pravilna.
The Commission rejected this claim, for the following reason: the purpose of calculating an injury margin is to determine whether imposing a lower (than the one based on the dumping margin) duty rate to the export price of the dumped imports would be sufficient to remove the injury caused by the dumped imports.
Zato je Komisija znova izračunala ciljno ceno na enoto industrije Unije za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike, ki pripadajo skupini Shagang, pri čemer je uporabila podatke o stroških proizvodnje za isto obdobje (drugo polovico leta 2015), kot se je uporabilo za izračun prodajne cene na enoto v prostem prometu v Uniji za vse kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike.
This assessment should be based on the export price at the Union frontier level which is considered to be a level comparable to the Union industry ex-works price.
Na podlagi revidiranega izračuna je bilo ugotovljeno, da so se stopnje škode za družbe, ki pripadajo skupini Shagang, znižale s 36,6 % na 35,9 %
The methodology followed by the Commission to compare data of the Chinese exporting producers and Union producers for undercutting and underselling calculations ensures that both exporting and Union producers receive on the contrary equal treatment: The Commission considered that the determination of the relevant import price for undercutting and underselling calculations should not be influenced by whether the exports are made to related or independent operations in the Union.
Poleg tega je Komisija pregledala prvotne izračune stopenj škode za dva druga kitajska proizvajalca izvoznika.
To that end, the relevant price to be taken into account is the price at which the product concerned is sold to the Union, and not the price at which the imported materials are then resold by importing producers in the Union.
Ocenjeno je bilo, da je prvotni izračun za skupino Hebei pravilen, pregled prvotnega izračuna za družbo Bengang Steel Plates Co.
Therefore, the Commission considered that its approach was accurate.
ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bila ena vrsta izdelka zmotno izključena iz prvotnega izračuna.
Reliance by analogy on Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation
Zato je bila ta vrsta izdelka vključena v revidirani izračun, saj so jo prodajali proizvajalci Unije in družba Bengang Steel Plates Co., Ltd.;
The complainant commented that the Commission should apply Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation when determining export prices for sales made via related importers in the context of the injury margin calculation.
nekatere vrednosti iz podatkov o industriji Unije so v izračunu vključevale napačne povezave.
This interested party also commented that, unlike the cold rolled case, the provisional disclosure did not explicitly confirm that this methodology was used.
Zaradi zgoraj navedenih učinkov se je stopnja škode za tega kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika povišala na 28,1 % (namesto 25,5 %).
The Commission confirmed that the purpose of calculating an injury margin is to determine whether imposing a lower duty rate (than the one based on the dumping margin) to the export price of the dumped imports would be sufficient to remove the injury caused by the dumped imports.
En kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik je po dokončnem razkritju navedel tudi, da ga niso prepričali navedeni razlogi, da bi bil prikaz učinka škode ustreznejši, če bi se uporabili le podatki za drugo polovico leta 2015.
In the case of export sales via related importers, the export price is constructed on the basis of the resale price to the first independent customer duly adjusted pursuant to Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation.
Poleg tega je trdil, da bi bila zaradi selektivne uporabe obdobja za namen izračuna stopnje škode primerjava stopenj dampinga in škode za namen pravila nižje dajatve nesmiselna in izkrivljajoča ter bi privedla do višjih stopenj kot v primeru uporabe celotnega leta 2015.
As the export price is an indispensable element in the injury margin calculation and as this provision of the basic Regulation is the only provision which gives guidance on the construction of the export price, the application of this provision by analogy is justified.
Zato je od Komisije zahteval, naj za izračun stopnje škode uporabi 12 mesecev, tj. podobno obdobje kot za izračun stopenj dampinga.
Following definitive disclosure, CISA argued that it was surprised that the Commission applied by analogy Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation.
Podobne pripombe je predložil italijanski uporabnik, ki je dodal, da selektivna uporaba informacij, ki se nanašajo na del OP, ne omogoča objektivne ocene stopnje odprave škode v obravnavanem primeru.
It alleged that such application was in breach of Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation itself, and vitiated by a manifest error of assessment.
Podobno je bilo mnenje združenja CISA in dveh kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki so trdili, da uporaba šestmesečnega obdobja pomeni kršitev pravne varnosti in legitimnih pričakovanj.
It also alleged that at least one sampled Chinese exporting producer was exporting via related importers and that consequently its definitive duty rate would be overstated.
Medtem ko je drugi kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik v zvezi s tem trdil predvsem, da podatkov, ki so omejeni zgolj na šestmesečno obdobje, ni mogoče obravnavati kot pozitiven dokaz v smislu člena 3(2) osnovne uredbe, se je združenje CISA sklicevalo na točko 5.1 obvestila o začetku postopka, ki določa, da „preiskava dampinga in škode zajema obdobje od 1. januarja 2015 do 31. decembra 2015 in sodno prakso“.
First, the Commission reiterated that Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation is the only provision of the basic Regulation which gives guidance on the construction of the export price.
Poleg tega je en kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik navedel tudi, da ustaljena praksa Komisije ne vključuje uporabe podatkov, ki se nanašajo le na del obdobja preiskave, in da metodologija, uporabljena v tem primeru, ni v skladu s priporočilom protidampinškega odbora STO, da „mora obdobje zbiranja podatkov […] vključevati celotno obdobje zbiranja podatkov za preiskavo dampinga“.
Therefore its application is justified in the framework of calculating an injury margin.
Komisija je vse te argumente zavrnila iz naslednjih razlogov.
Second, contrary to what is alleged, it is Commission's practise in recent cases to consistently [23] apply Article 2(9) of the basic Regulation by analogy in the framework of calculating an injury margin.
Prvič, damping in škoda sta določena na podlagi obdobja preiskave in obravnavanega obdobja, ki sta opredeljena v skladu z zadevnimi določbami osnovne uredbe in navedena v obvestilu o začetku postopka.
Third, the purpose of the injury margin calculations is not to measure to what extent the sales of the related importers are causing injury to the Union producers, but rather whether the exports from the Chinese exporting producer have such detrimental effect through undercutting and underselling the prices of Union producers.
Po drugi strani v osnovni uredbi ni določena posebna metoda za izračun stopnje škode, na kateri temelji uporaba pravila nižje dajatve.
In conclusion, the Commission confirmed that it has used this methodology when determining export prices for sales made via related importers.
Drugič, osnovna uredba ne vključuje niti posebnih meril za opredelitev obdobja, v katerem se ocenijo parametri za izračun stopnje škode.
The period to be used for the injury margin calculation in a threat of injury-case
Komisija je v obravnavanem primeru menila, da izbrano obdobje izraža specifičnost primera in je primerno z vidika analize, ki je usmerjena v prihodnost.
The complainant criticised the fact that the Commission had provisionally applied a standard material injury approach by taking the average injury margin over the whole IP (i.e. 2015).
Poleg tega je Komisija za izračun stopnje škode uporabila isto šestmesečno obdobje kot za primerjavo izvozne in ciljne cene, da bi zagotovila objektivno oceno.
It alleged that this is not a correct approach, since the threat of injury margin needs to reflect the threat, and when the threat materialises later on during the IP, the injury margin must reflect the concrete impact of the threat.
Tabela 7
In order to effectively remove the impact of the threat of injury the Commission should look at those parts of the IP where the threat of injury started to materialise.
Dokončne stopnje in stopnje dajatev
In this context, the complainant referred to the fact that the threat of injury started to impact the Union steel industry from the second half of 2015 onwards.
Dokončna stopnja škode
Therefore, only the second half of 2015 should be used for calculating underselling and undercutting margins.
Dokončna stopnja dajatve
The complainant also mentioned that threat of injury cases are aimed at allowing the Commission to act effectively and preventively before the threat of injury has caused injury.
Na podlagi pripomb proizvajalca izvoznika po dokončnem razkritju so bile zgoraj navedene stopnje škode zaokrožene navzdol, kjer je bilo to primerno, na najbližjo desetino.
If the Commission would not be inclined to change its method of calculating the (threat of) injury margin, industries would have to wait longer, until they suffer material injury for a full year, to request protection from dumped imports in order to obtain a realistic injury margin.
Stopnje protidampinških dajatev, določene za posamezne družbe v tej uredbi, so bile določene na podlagi ugotovitev te preiskave.
Such behaviour would be at the detriment of jobs and industrial activities on the Union market, and it would also undermine the objectives of the threat-of-injury complaints.
Zato izražajo položaj teh družb med preiskavo.
After a detailed analysis of the arguments of the complainant, the Commission recalled that it had provisionally concluded that there was a clearly foreseeable and imminent change in circumstances at the end of the investigation period, which would create a situation in which the dumping will cause injury.
Te stopnje dajatev (v nasprotju z dajatvijo na ravni države, ki se uporablja za „vse druge družbe“) se tako uporabljajo izključno za uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz zadevne države, ki ga proizvajajo te družbe, torej izrecno navedene pravne osebe.
