As for the reduction of the insurance premium, Sinosure was required to ensure that the average rate of short-term export credit insurance would be reduced by 30 % on the basis of the overall average rate in 2008.
Komisija je na podlagi navedenega sklenila, da kitajska vlada industriji premazanega finega papirja zagotavlja subvencije v obliki rabatov v zvezi z DDV za izdelke, ki vsebujejo vsaj 70 % recikliranih vlaken in kmetijskih odpadkov, ter da so imeli proizvajalci premazanega finega papirja v LRK v OPP korist od teh rabatov.
The so-called 421 plan was included in the Notice on the issues to implement special arrangements for financing of insurance on the export of large complete sets of equipment issued jointly by the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Finance on 22 June 2009.
Komisija je na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij sklenila, da so imeli proizvajalci premazanega finega papirja v LRK v OPP korist od te subvencije.
This was also an important policy supporting China's ‘going out’ policy in response to the 2009 global financial crisis and provided USD 42,1 billion of financing insurance to support the export of large complete sets of equipment.
Splošni sklep glede nadaljevanja subvencioniranja
Sinosure and some other financial institutions would manage and provide the funding.
Komisija je na podlagi navedenega sklenila, da so imeli proizvajalci premazanega finega papirja v LRK v OPP še naprej korist od subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi.
Enterprises covered by this document could enjoy the preferential financial measures, including export-credit insurance.
Razvoj uvoza ob razveljavitvi ukrepov
Due to the non-cooperation of the GOC, the Commission was unable to obtain additional details on the application of this notice.
Proizvodna zmogljivost in neizkoriščena zmogljivost v LRK
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, the Commission considered that paper industry is also covered by this document.
Zaradi nesodelovanja sta bili proizvodna zmogljivost in neizkoriščena zmogljivost v LRK v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe določeni na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev in zlasti informacij, ki jih je predložil vložnik in so vključevale podatke neodvisnega ponudnika obveščevalnih podatkov za industrijo.
On the basis of the above elements, the Commission concluded that Sinosure is a public body as it is vested with authority to exercise governmental functions.
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je proizvodna zmogljivost v zvezi s premazanim brezlesnim papirjem v LRK znašala 7629000 ton [43], od tega je bilo 40 % proizvodnje premazanega finega papirja [44].
The same conclusions were reached in previous anti-subsidy investigations concerning encouraged industries in the PRC [39].
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je bila izkoriščenost zmogljivosti skupne proizvodnje premazanega brezlesnega papirja v LRK 85-odstotna [45], zaradi česar je bilo za 1167000 ton neizkoriščene zmogljivosti, tj. 32 % skupne potrošnje premazanega finega papirja v Uniji.
As Sinosure is a public body vested with government authority and executes governmental laws and plans, the provision of export credit insurance to coated fine paper producers constitutes a financial contribution in the form of potential direct transfer of funds from the government within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(i) of the basic Regulation.
Ob predpostavki, da bi se le 40 % te zmogljivosti uporabilo za premazani fini papir, je ugotovljena kitajska neizkoriščena zmogljivost v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom znašala približno 13 % skupne potrošnje Unije.
In any event, based on the information provided in the complaint as well as in recent investigations [40] the Commission concluded that a benefit within the meaning of Articles 3(2) and 6(c) of the basic Regulation exists since Sinosure provides export credit insurance on terms more favourable than the recipient could normally obtain on the market, or provides insurance cover that would otherwise not be available at all on the market.
Poleg tega je Komisija ugotovila, da proizvajalci proizvodnjo drugih premazanih brezlesnih izdelkov zlahka zamenjajo s proizvodnjo zadevnega izdelka [46].
Indeed, Article 11 of the Articles of Association that was submitted in the GOC's questionnaire reply provides that the company shall operate at breakeven.
Če bi se kitajski proizvajalci preusmerili v proizvodnjo premazanega finega papirja, bi se proizvodna zmogljivost povečala za 3877000 ton, kar je več od celotne skupne potrošnje v Uniji (ki po ugotovitvah znaša 3589694 ton).
In other words, by statute Sinosure does not aim to achieve a reasonable profit, but has to aim merely at breakeven according to its function as the sole official export credit insurer in the PRC.
Čeprav naj bi se raven neizkoriščene zmogljivosti v zvezi s premazanim brezlesnim papirjem do leta 2021 nekoliko znižala, in sicer za 4 %, naj bi se kitajsko domače povpraševanje zmanjšalo za več kot 10 % [47].
As explained above, the records on file have shown that the legal and policy environment in which Sinosure operates requires the state-owned company to execute the government policies and plans in fulfilment of its public policy mandate.
Komisija je na podlagi navedenega sklenila, da imajo kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki precejšnjo neizkoriščeno zmogljivost, ki bi jo lahko uporabili za proizvodnjo premazanega finega papirja za izvoz na trg Unije, če bi bili ukrepi razveljavljeni.
Among the ‘Encouraged Industries’ specifically supported by the State, the producers of coated fine paper have had full access to export credit insurance provided by Sinosure at preferential rates.
Ugotovila je tudi, da bi se lahko ta izvozni potencial zaradi pričakovanega zmanjšanja domačega povpraševanja v LRK povečal.
Therefore, Sinosure provides unlimited availability of insurance cover for the paper sector and the low insurance premiums it offers do not reflect the actual risks incurred in insuring the exports in this sector.
Privlačnost trga Unije
Furthermore, in the solar panels expiry review it was established that Sinosure incurred losses in 2015, i.e. during the review investigation period of the current investigation [41], and would have been loss-making in 2013 and 2014 if certain non-operational income had not been recorded [42].
Preiskava je pokazala, da je povpraševanje po premazanem finem papirju v Uniji ostalo veliko.
Based on all these elements on the record, it can already be concluded that the premium rates charged by Sinosure remain inadequate to cover its long-term operations.
Čeprav se je potrošnja Unije v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala, je trg Unije še vedno največji trg na svetu in obsega 25–30 % svetovnega povpraševanja.
On the basis of the above, the Commission established the existence of a benefit which would not have been otherwise available to the coated fine paper industry.
Na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev so bile kitajske izvozne cene v tretje države, ki so blizu Unije, v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom v povprečju za 7 % nižje od cen v Uniji.
The subsidies are contingent upon export performance within the meaning of Article 4(4)(a) of the basic Regulation, and therefore specific.
Taka razlika v ceni je velika ob upoštevanju dejstva, da je trg premazanega finega papirja konkurenčen in cenovno zelo občutljiv.
The Commission, on the basis of available information, concluded that producers of coated fine paper in the PRC benefited from the export credit insurance provided by Sinosure in the RIP.
Poleg tega naj bi se domače povpraševanje v LRK zmanjšalo, kar pomeni močno spodbudo za kitajske proizvajalce, da najdejo druge trge, ki bi lahko absorbirali kitajsko presežno zmogljivost.
VAT rebates for products furnished with at least 70 % recycled fibre and agricultural residues
Trg ZDA, ki je prav tako pomemben trg premazanega finega papirja, za LRK še vedno ni privlačen, ker v ZDA v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom proti LRK veljajo protidampinški in protisubvencijski ukrepi.
From 1 July 2015, the VAT refund or exemption scheme for production and labour services which comprehensively utilise resources is consolidated under the ‘Notice of Ministry of Finance and State Administration of Taxation to Print and Issue Catalogue of Products and Labour Services with Comprehensive Utilization of Resources (CaiShui [2015] No 78)’.
V zvezi s tem je vlada LRK trdila, da nizka raven uvoza iz LRK dokazuje, da trg Unije za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike sploh ni privlačen.
Domestic sales of coated fine paper are subject to a 17 % VAT rate.
Trdila je tudi, da je LRK glede na statistične podatke o kitajskem izvozu v letu 2015 več premazanega finega papirja izvozila v tri druge države (v Indijo, na Japonsko in Tajsko) in evropske države, ki niso članice Unije, kar naj bi dokazovalo, da so te države, v katerih ukrepi trgovinske zaščite niso vzpostavljeni, privlačnejše.
According to the Notice, companies receive a 50 % VAT rebate for products furnished with at least 70 % recycled fibre and agricultural residues, such as bagasse, waste paper and crop straw.
Kar zadeva učinek sporazumov o prosti trgovini, se je trditev nanašala na kitajske izdelke na splošno in ni vsebovala dokazov v zvezi z zadevnim izdelkom.
According to unverified information provided by the GOC, pursuant to the Notice referred to above, the VAT refund policies are applicable to sales of products, the production of which used the recycled, reusing or redundant materials or energy from other productions.
Za zadevno trditev se je štelo, da je preširoka in ni podprta z dokazi.
According to unverified information provided by the GOC, the programme is administered by the State Administration of Taxation of the People's Republic of China with the assistance of other competent authorities, and is implemented by the local tax authorities within their respective jurisdictions.
Vsekakor pa informacije, ki so na voljo Komisiji, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 166, kažejo nasprotno.
Enterprises that apply for the VAT refund have to file their application with other relevant documents to the taxation authority for examination.
Kitajski izvoz premazanega finega papirja v Unijo se je po uvedbi prvotnih ukrepov leta 2010 dejansko skoraj ustavil, kar kaže, da je trg Unije za kitajski izvoz zaradi teh ukrepov postal neprivlačen.
After the application is approved, the applicant can receive the benefits.
Z odpravo ukrepov bi spet postal privlačen.
The Commission found that the VAT rebates for products furnished with at least 70 % recycled fibre and agricultural residues by the GOC should be considered a subsidy within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(ii) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation in the form of foregone government revenue which confers a benefit upon the recipient companies.
Te trditve se zato zavrnejo.
On the basis of the information available, the Commission further concluded that the subsidy was specific in accordance with Article 4(2) of the basic Regulation.
Skupina APP je priznala, da je evropski trg tradicionalno pomemben trg za premazani fini papir, vendar je trdila, da se njegov pomen zmanjšuje zaradi vse manjšega povpraševanja, medtem ko je hkrati povpraševanje v drugih državah v zadnjih nekaj letih ostalo enako ali se povečalo.
Neither the GOC nor the exporting producers provided evidence suggesting the coated fine paper industry did not benefit from this VAT rebates, as alleged by the complaint.
Trdila je tudi, da neprivlačnost trga Unije dokazujeta zmanjšanje uvoza iz drugih držav od uvedbe ukrepov in visoka stopnja izvoza premazanega finega papirja, ki ga proizvaja industrija Unije.
Indeed, the Notice referred to in recital (147) above specifically mentions paper as products utilizing resources such as bagasse, waste paper and crop straw, and stating that the producers have to comply with technical regulations specific to the pulp and paper industry.
Trg Unije je kljub vse manjši potrošnji premazanega finega papirja v Uniji še vedno največji trg premazanega finega papirja na svetu.
On the basis of the above the Commission concluded that the GOC provides subsidies in the form of VAT rebates for products furnished with at least 70 % recycled fibre and agricultural residues to the coated fine paper industry and that producers of coated fine paper in the PRC benefit from these rebates during the RIP.
Iz informacij v spisu je razvidno, da bo vsaj v bližnji prihodnosti tak tudi ostal [48].
The Commission, on the basis of available information, concluded that producers of coated fine paper in the PRC benefited from this subsidy in the RIP.
Na podlagi dejstev v spisu naj bi se povpraševanje po premazanem finem papirju v LRK zmanjšalo, morebitno potencialno povečanje na drugih trgih pa ne bi zadostovalo za zmanjšanje privlačnosti trga Unije, saj so ti v primerjavi z njim majhni.
Development of imports should measures be repealed
V sedanji preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je ta proizvajalec leta 2011 nehal proizvajati premazani fini papir, zaradi česar uvoza iz Švice praktično ni več.
Production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC
Zmanjšanje uvoza iz tretjih držav zato ni povezano z domnevno neprivlačnostjo trga Unija, ta trditev pa se zavrne.
Given the non-cooperation, production capacity and spare capacity in the PRC were established on the basis of facts available and in particular the information provided by the applicant, which included data from an independent industry intelligence information provider, in accordance with Article 28 of the basic Regulation.
Poleg tega razmeroma visoka stopnja izvoza industrije Unije ne vpliva na sklep, da je trg Unije privlačen, saj so bile povprečne cene, dosežene zunaj Unije, kjer je morala industrija Unije konkurirati subvencioniranemu izvozu premazanega finega papirja iz LRK, večino obravnavanega obdobja nižje od povprečnih cen, doseženih v Uniji.
The production capacity of coated wood free paper in the PRC was 7629000 tonnes in the review investigation period [43], of which 40 % is the production of CFP [44].
Trditev se zato zavrne.
The total coated wood free production in the PRC had a capacity utilisation of 85 % [45] during the review investigation period resulting in a spare capacity of 1167000 tonnes, i.e. 32 % of total consumption of CFP in the Union.
Komisija je ob upoštevanju navedenega sklenila, da je v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov verjetno, da se bo izvoz iz LRK usmeril na trg Unije.
Under the assumption that only 40 % of this capacity would be used for CFP, the Chinese spare capacity of the product concerned was found to be around 13 % of total Union consumption.
Sklep o verjetnosti nadaljevanja subvencioniranja
Furthermore, the Commission found that it is simple for producers to switch production of other coated wood free products into the product concerned [46].
Komisija je na podlagi najboljših razpoložljivih dejstev sklenila, da obstaja dovolj dokazov o nadaljevanju subvencioniranja industrije premazanega finega papirja v LRK v obravnavanem obdobju, ki se bo v prihodnosti verjetno nadaljevalo.
Should Chinese producers switch to CFP, this would result in an increase of 3877000 tonnes in production capacity, which is more than 100 % of total consumption in the Union (established at 3589694 tonnes).
Kitajski proizvajalci so lahko zaradi subvencioniranja industrije premazanega finega papirja kljub krčenju trgov na Kitajskem in po svetu ohranili svoje proizvodne zmogljivosti na stopnji, ki močno presega domače povpraševanje.
Even though the level of spare capacity of coated wood free paper is expected to decrease slightly by 4 %, Chinese domestic demand is expected to decrease by more than 10 % until 2021 [47].
Zato je Komisija menila, da bi se ob razveljavitvi izravnalnih ukrepov na trg Unije verjetno vrnile znatne količine subvencioniranega uvoza zadevnega izdelka.
Based on the above, the Commission concluded that Chinese exporting producers have significant spare capacity which they could use to produce CFP to export to the Union market if measures were repealed.
Kitajska vlada je industriji premazanega finega papirja še naprej ponujala različne programe subvencij, pri čemer ima Komisija dovolj dokazov, da je imela industrija premazanega finega papirja v OPP korist od številnih teh programov.
The Commission also found that this export potential could increase as a result of the expected decline in domestic demand in the PRC.
VERJETNOST PONOVITVE ŠKODE
Attractiveness of the Union market
Opredelitev pojmov industrija Unije in proizvodnja Unije
The investigation has demonstrated that Union demand for CFP remained substantial.
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je podobni izdelek proizvajalo deset znanih proizvajalcev, od tega nekaj skupin, ki imajo v lasti več papirnic.
Although the Union consumption declined over the period considered, the Union market remains the largest market in the world, accounting for 25 % — 30 % of global demand.
Ti predstavljajo „industrijo Unije“ v smislu člena 9(1) osnovne uredbe.
Based on the facts available, Chinese export prices to the third countries close to the Union were on average 7 % lower than the prices in the Union during the review investigation period.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom celotna proizvodnja Unije znašala približno 4606000 ton.
Such a difference of price is significant given the fact that the market for CFP is competitive and very price sensitive.
Družbe, ki so podprle zahtevek za pregled, so predstavljale več kot 70 % celotne proizvodnje Unije v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
Furthermore, the domestic demand in the PRC is forecast to decrease, suggesting a strong incentive to Chinese producers to find alternative markets to absorb the Chinese overcapacity.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 18, so proizvajalci Unije, ki so bili izbrani v vzorec, predstavljali več kot 30 % celotne proizvodnje podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
The USA market, another important market for CFP, remains unattractive for the PRC, because the USA has anti-dumping and anti-subsidy measures in place against the PRC regarding the product concerned.
Makroekonomske podatke, ki jih je predložil vložnik, je pripravilo združenje Euro-Graph [49] in so bili ustrezno preverjeni.
In this regard, the Government of the PRC claimed that the low level of imports from the PRC demonstrated that the Union market was not at all attractive to Chinese exporting producers.
Potrošnja Unije
It further submitted that according to Chinese export statistics the PRC exported in 2015 more CFP to three other countries (India, Japan, Thailand) and to non-Union European countries, which would demonstrate that these countries, where there are no trade defence measures in place, were more attractive.
Komisija je potrošnjo Unije določila tako, da je seštela obseg prodaje industrije Unije na trgu Unije in uvoz iz tretjih držav, določen na podlagi zbirke podatkov iz člena 14(6).
The Government of the PRC also submitted that the PRC is currently party to 14 FTA's with different trading partners and that it is negotiating even more.
Potrošnja Unije se je gibala, kot sledi:
This would lead to more exports of CFP to the partner countries concerned.
Preglednica 1
As concerns the effect of the FTAs, the claim was made in respect of Chinese products in general and did not contain any evidence in respect of the product concerned.
Vir: združenje Euro-Graph in zbirka podatkov iz člena 14(6).
The claim was considered too broad and lacking corroborating evidence.
OPP
In any case, as explained in recital (166) below, the information available to the Commission points in the opposite direction.
Skupna potrošnja Unije (v tonah)
In fact, the Chinese exports of CFP to the Union dropped close to zero after the imposition of the original measures in 2010, which suggests that it was these measures that made the Union market unattractive for Chinese exports.
Indeks (2012 = 100)
The removal of the measures would make the Union market attractive again.
Potrošnja Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 10 %.
These claims are therefore rejected.
Leta 2013 se je v primerjavi z letom 2012 zmanjšal za 8 %, nato pa se je zmanjševanje upočasnilo.
The APP Group acknowledged that the European market is traditionally an important market for CFP, but claimed that its importance was decreasing due to the constant drop in demand, whereas, at the same time, demand in other countries has either remained stable or increased over the last few years.
Ocenjena potrošnja Unije v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je bila za 21 % manjša od potrošnje, ki je bila ugotovljena v obdobju prvotne preiskave (4572057 ton).
It also submitted that the unattractiveness of the Union market was demonstrated by the drop in imports from other countries since the imposition of measures and by the high level of exports of CFP produced by the Union industry.
V zmanjšanju potrošnje se kaže vse manjše povpraševanje po grafičnem papirju na splošno, kar je zlasti posledica hitre rasti digitalnih medijev, ki nadomeščajo tradicionalne tiskane medije.
Despite the declining consumption of CFP in the Union, the Union market is still the largest CFP market in the world.
Uvoz iz zadevne države
The information on file suggests that the Union market will remain the largest world market for CFP at least in the near future [48].
Obseg in tržni delež uvoza iz zadevne države
Based on the facts available on file, demand for CFP is forecast to decrease in the PRC and a potential increase, if any, in other markets would not suffice to reduce the attractiveness of the Union market because they are small in comparison to the Union market.
Uvoz iz LRK v Unijo se je gibal, kot sledi:
During the investigation period of the original investigation the volume and market share of imports into the Union from countries other than the PRC was indeed larger than during the period considered of the current investigation.
Preglednica 2
However, the imports from third countries of CFP during the investigation period of the original investigation were predominantly imports of CFP from Switzerland where one of the Union producers owned a company producing CFP.
Obseg uvoza in tržni delež
The current investigation established that this producer stopped the production of CFP in 2011, so consequently imports from Switzerland almost disappeared.
Vir: zbirka podatkov iz člena 14(6).
The drop in imports from third countries has thus nothing to do with any alleged unattractiveness of the Union market and the claim is rejected.
Obseg uvoza iz zadevne države (v tonah)
Furthermore, the relatively high level of exports of the Union industry does not undermine the conclusion that the Union market is attractive as for most of the period considered average prices achieved outside the Union, where the Union industry had to compete with subsidized exports of CFP from the PRC, were below the average prices achieved in the Union.
Tržni delež (%)
The claim is therefore rejected.
Obseg uvoza iz LRK v Unijo je bil v obravnavanem obdobju zanemarljiv.
Given the above considerations, the Commission concluded that, if measures were repealed, it was likely that the exports from the PRC would be directed to the Union market.
Uvozne cene iz zadevne države in nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen
Conclusion on the likelihood of continuation of subsidisation
Zaradi zanemarljivega obsega uvoza premazanega finega papirja iz LRK v Unijo, dejstva, da je predstavljal manj kot 0,5 % skupnega uvoza v okviru ustreznih oznak KN po podatkih Eurostata in uradnih statističnih podatkih o izvozu LRK, ter nezanesljivih cen za to omejeno prodajo za sklepe glede uvozne cene iz LRK ni bilo mogoče uporabiti statističnih podatkov o uvozu v Unijo.
The Commission, on the basis of best facts available, concluded that there was sufficient evidence that subsidisation of the coated fine paper industry in the PRC continued during the period considered and is likely to continue in the future.
Komisija je sklenila, da bi bilo treba namesto tega kot približek uporabiti podatke o prodaji premazanega finega papirja iz LRK v druge države in tako ugotoviti, kakšno bi bilo nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen, če bi kitajske družbe Uniji prodajale po teh cenah.
