natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
In the case of the first cooperating company, the amount of SG&A expenses and profit were determined, in accordance with Article 2(6)(b) of the basic Regulation, that is, on the basis of the actual amounts applicable to production and sales, in the ordinary course of trade, of the same general category of products for the producer in question in the domestic market of the country of origin, namely domestic sales of the fittings with roughness average (Ra) of the surface finish below 0,8 micrometre.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenega Komisija vztraja pri svoji odločitvi glede vira podatkov, uporabljenih za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti.
In the case of the second cooperating company, due to the lack of own domestic sales of the like product or of the same general category of products, Article 2(6)(c) of the basic Regulation was applied.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da je Komisija preučila tudi alternativni vir podatkov za določitev PSA-stroškov za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti, tj. podatke, ki jih je zagotovil sodelujoči primerljivi proizvajalec v Švici.
To this end, the Commission used in the construction of normal value the same amounts of SG&A expenses and profit used for the first company, which was the only available and verified data and referred to sales of the same general category of product on the Taiwanese market.
Zadevni podatek ni bil zagotovljen za OP, vendar je potrjeno, da je za finančni leti 2014 in 2015 znašal od 8 % do 12 %, kar je primerljivo s prilagojenim podatkom o PSA-stroških, ki je bil nazadnje uporabljen pri izračunu, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 86.
Following the provisional disclosure, the second Taiwanese exporting producer raised certain claims against the use of the data of the first Taiwanese producer for the construction of its normal value.
Tajvanski proizvajalec izvoznik je v svojih stališčih nadalje zatrjeval neustrezno razkritje bistvenih podatkov, uporabljenih za določitev normalne vrednosti.
First, the company claimed (on the basis of the open version of the questionnaire response and the deficiency letter responses of the other producer) that the first producer cannot be considered at all an exporting producer of the product concerned as it allegedly produces and exports to the Union only types of product which were excluded from the product scope, that is, low-roughness fittings and flanged fittings.
Zaradi varovanja poslovne skrivnosti v tem konkretnem razkritju dejansko ni bilo mogoče razkriti podatkov o PSA-stroških, dobičku in popravkih stroškov, uporabljenih pri izračunih.
Second, the company claimed that the use of a single company's SG&A figures for the purpose of the construction of the normal value for another company contradicts the findings of the WTO Appellate Body [6] that a single company's SG & A cannot be used to construct normal values.
Družba, ki pozna svoje proizvodne stroške, bi lahko brez težav ocenila opravljeno splošno povprečno prilagoditev.
In response to the above claims, the Commission established during the on spot verification at the premises of the company in question that part of the company's production and sales to the Union during the IP (namely vacuum fittings with additional surface treatment which result in surface roughness of above 0,8 micrometre) fell within the product scope of this investigation.
Vendar pa je zahtevala razkritje določenih podatkov v zvezi z nekaterimi elementi izračuna, in sicer ravni PSA-stroškov in dobička, stopenj normalne vrednosti, popravkov stroškov in cenovnih popravkov ter prilagoditve DDV normalni vrednosti.
Therefore, the company was considered as an exporting producer of the product concerned and a dumping margin for this company was calculated.
V odgovor na to zahtevo je treba poudariti, da natančnih podatkov o PSA-stroških, dobičku in popravkih stroškov, uporabljenih pri konstruiranju normalne vrednosti, ni mogoče razkriti, ker podatki izvirajo iz ene same družbe, ki je tajvanska konkurentka družbe, ki je zahtevala te informacije, in ker je navedena družba zahtevala zaupno obravnavo, saj podatki vsebujejo poslovne skrivnosti.
It should be stressed that the company in question was not selling this type of product on the domestic market in Taiwan during the IP, which affects the methodology of construction of normal value for both Taiwanese exporting producers as explained in recitals 79 and 80.
Navedena zahteva je očitno utemeljena.
Second, it should also be noted that the WTO Appellate Body ruling quoted by the interested party refers to the situation described in the Article 2(6)(a) of the basic Regulation; that is the use of weighted average of SG&A costs of other producers in respect to production and sales of the like product in the domestic market of the country of origin.
Vendar pa so najpomembnejši podatki, to so PSA-stroški in dobiček, uporabljeni pri končnem izračunu, razkriti v obsegu, navedenem v uvodni izjavi 86 spodaj.
In this case however the construction of the normal value was based on Article 2(6)(c) of the basic Regulation; that is with SG&A costs determined on the basis of ‘any other reasonable method, provided that the amount for profit so established shall not exceed the profit normally realized by other exporters or producers on sales of products of the same general category in the domestic market of the country of origin’.
Poudariti je treba tudi, da je bila stopnja popravkov stroškov zelo nizka ter je neznatno vplivala na stopnjo normalne vrednosti in stopnjo dampinga.
Taking into account the above, the Commission sustains its decision as to the source of data used for the construction of normal value.
Cenovni popravki niso bili uporabljeni, ker domače cene pri izračunu normalne vrednosti niso bile uporabljene.
It should be noted that the Commission looked also at the alternative source of data for establishment of SG&A costs for the construction of normal value that is data provided by the cooperating analogue producer in Switzerland.
Prav tako v primeru Tajvana ni bilo prilagoditve DDV normalni vrednosti.
The figure in question was not provided for the IP but it is confirmed that for the financial years 2014 and 2015 it was in the range of 8 % to 12 % which is comparable with the adjusted SG&A figure finally used in the calculation as indicated in recital 86.
Nazadnje, ta družba je trdila, da raven PSA-stroškov in dobička njene konkurentke zanjo ni reprezentativna.
The Taiwanese exporting producer further claimed in its submission an inadequate disclosure of the critical data used for the determination of the normal value.
Trdila je, da ima drugi proizvajalec v Tajvanu majhno proizvodnjo in prodaja zelo specializirane izdelke, medtem ko se sama ukvarja z množično proizvodnjo in prodajo standardnih izdelkov.
Indeed, for business confidentiality reasons, this specific disclosure could not reveal SG&A, profit and allowances on costs figures used in the calculations.
Dejansko je bilo med preveritvenimi obiski potrjeno, da se izdelki, ki jih proizvajata in prodajata ti družbi, razlikujejo, tako da se razlikujeta tudi njuni strukturi PSA-stroškov.
The company, knowing its own cost of manufacturing, could easily estimate the overall average adjustment made.
Zato se je Komisija odločila, da bo raven PSA-stroškov, uporabljeno za konstruiranje normalne vrednosti za tega drugega sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika, znižala za delež stroškov dela, povezan s stroški nadzora kakovosti ter raziskav in razvoja.
However, it requested disclosure of the specific figures with regard to certain elements of the calculation, namely the SG&A and profit levels, levels of normal value allowances on costs and prices and VAT adjustment to normal value.
Zaradi tega so se prilagoditve PSA-stroškov znižale na raven od 7 % do 13 %, izraženo kot delež prihodkov od prodaje, posledično pa se je znižala raven njene individualne stopnje dampinga.
In response to this request, it has to be underlined that exact figures of SG&A costs, profit and allowances on costs applied in the construction of normal value cannot be disclosed, as the data originate from one single company, which is a Taiwanese competitor of the company requesting this information, and that company requested confidential treatment because the data contains business secrets.
Obenem je Komisija menila, da je bila stopnja dobička, uporabljena pri konstruiranju normalne vrednosti (od 1 % do 5 % prihodkov od prodaje), razumna.
That request is obviously justified.
Končna skupna prilagoditev za proizvodne stroške v izračunu normalne vrednosti za zadevnega proizvajalca izvoznika je bila 15,36-odstotna.
However, the most important figures, that is, the SG&A and profit used for the final calculation, are disclosed in ranges in recital 86 below.
Izvozna cena
It should also be noted that the level of allowances on costs was very low and had an insignificant impact on the level of normal value and the dumping margin.
Oba sodelujoča proizvajalca izvoznika sta izvažala v Unijo neposredno neodvisnim strankam v Uniji.
No allowances on prices were applied as domestic prices were not used in the calculation of the normal value.
V skladu s členom 2(8) osnovne uredbe so bile izvozne cene določene na podlagi cen, ki so bile dejansko plačane ali se plačujejo za zadevni izdelek ob prodaji za izvoz iz države izvoznice.
Also in case of Taiwan no VAT adjustment to normal value was done.
Primerjava in stopnje dampinga
Finally, this company submitted that the level of SG&A and profit of its competitor is not representative for them.
Normalna vrednost in izvozna cena sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov sta se primerjali na podlagi cene franko tovarna.
It claimed that the other producer in Taiwan operates a small scale production and sells highly specialised products, while it was involved in massive production and sales of standard products.
Da bi se zagotovila poštena primerjava med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno, so se v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe v obliki prilagoditev ustrezno upoštevale razlike, ki vplivajo na cene in primerljivost cen.
Indeed, it was confirmed during the verification visits that the products produced and sold by the two companies are different, and thus their SG&A cost structures are also different.
Na podlagi tega so se opravile prilagoditve za stroške kopenskega in čezmorskega prevoza, stroške zavarovanja, manipulativne stroške, stroške natovarjanja in tozadevne stroške, stroške pakiranja in kredita, popuste ter provizije, za katere se je pokazalo, da vplivajo na primerljivost cen.
Therefore, the Commission decided to reduce the level of SG&A costs used for construction of normal value for this second cooperating exporting producer by the proportion of labour costs related to quality control and research and development costs.
Skupne prilagoditve so bile v razponu od 1 % do 10 % na podlagi dejanskih vrednosti, ki sta jih sporočila tajvanska proizvajalca izvoznika in so bile preverjene na kraju samem.
This resulted in a reduction of the SG&A adjustment to the level of 7 %-13 % expressed as a percentage of turnover, which subsequently reduced the level of its individual dumping margin.
Navedeni podatki so tisti, ki sta jih tajvanski družbi sporočili za zadevne stroškovne elemente, in so jima bili razkriti za preveritev v posebnih razkritjih.
At the same time, the Commission considered that the profit margin used for the normal value construction (1 %-5 % on turnover) was reasonable.
Opozoriti je treba, da je Komisija pri izračunu zavrnila prilagoditev za pretvorbo valut, ki jo je zahtevala ena od zainteresiranih strani.
Final overall adjustment made to the costs of manufacturing in the calculation of the normal value for the exporting producer in question was 15,36 %.
Navedena stran je zahtevala, naj Komisija namesto menjalnega tečaja na datum računa uporabi menjalni tečaj na datum plačila.
Export price
V osnovni uredbi je določeno, da se za določitev menjalnega tečaja običajno uporabi datum računa, vendar da se lahko v izjemnih primerih uporabi zgodnejši datum (na primer datum pogodbe).
The two cooperating exporting producers made export sales to the Union directly to independent customers located in the Union.
Vendar pa v osnovni uredbi ni pravne podlage za uporabo datuma po datumu računa.
Export prices were established on the basis of the prices actually paid or payable for the product concerned when sold for export from the exporting country in accordance with Article 2(8) of the basic Regulation.
Razlog za to je, da je na datum računa cena fiksno določena in družba nima več nobenega vpliva na odločitev o dampingu.
Comparison and dumping margins
Tudi če bi bila mogoča uporaba poznejšega datuma, quod non, kot je bilo pojasnjeno že v začasnem razkritju, predlagatelj nikakor ni dokazal, da je bil izpolnjen dodatni pogoj, tj. pomembnejši premik menjalnih tečajev.
The normal value and export price of the cooperating exporting producers were compared on an ex-works basis.
Kot je določeno v členu 2(11) in (12) osnovne uredbe, se je za vsako sodelujočo družbo tehtana povprečna normalna vrednost vsake vrste podobnega izdelka primerjala s tehtano povprečno izvozno ceno ustrezne vrste zadevnega izdelka.
For the purpose of ensuring a fair comparison between the normal value and the export price, due allowance in the form of adjustments was made for differences affecting prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Na podlagi tega so tehtane povprečne stopnje dampinga, izražene kot odstotek cene CIF meja Unije brez plačane dajatve, naslednje:
On this basis, adjustments were made for transport, ocean freight and insurance costs, handling, loading and ancillary costs, packing costs, credit costs, discounts and commissions which were demonstrated to affect price comparability.
Družba
The total adjustments were in the range of 1 %-10 %, based on actual values reported by the Taiwanese exporting producers and verified on spot.
Določena stopnja dampinga (%)
Those figures are the ones reported for the relevant cost items by the Taiwanese companies, and have been disclosed to them for verification in the specific disclosures.
King Lai Hygienic Materials Co., Ltd.
It is noted that in the calculation, the Commission rejected an adjustment for currency conversion requested by one of the interested parties.
Ta Chen Stainless Pipes Co., Ltd.
The party has asked the Commission to use instead of the exchange rate on the date of invoicing the exchange rate on the day of payment.
Pri nesodelujočih proizvajalcih se je morala Komisija opreti na razpoložljiva dejstva v skladu s členom 18(6) osnovne uredbe.
The basic Regulation stipulates that normally, the date of invoicing is used for establishing the exchange rate, but that in extraordinary situations, an earlier date can be used (date of contract for example).
Nesodelovanje zadevnim proizvajalcem izvoznikom omogoča, da ne posredujejo določenih podatkov svoje družbe, na podlagi katerih je mogoče oceniti njihovo dejansko izvozno ravnanje, Komisijo pa obvezuje, da uporabi najboljša razpoložljiva dejstva v zvezi z njimi.
However, the basic Regulation does not provide any legal basis for using a date after the date of invoicing.
Komisija v svoji praksi odločanja zato razlikuje med preiskavami, pri katerih je sodelovanje veliko (tj. več kot 80 % prijavljenega izvoza v Unijo), in preiskavami, pri katerih je sodelovanje majhno (največ 80-odstotno sodelovanje).
The rational for this is that at the date of invoicing, the price is fixed and the company no longer has any influence to decide to dump or not.
V tej zadevi je bila stopnja sodelovanja precej pod 80 %.
In any event, even if the use of a later date was possible, quod non, as explained already in the provisional disclosure, the applicant has not shown that the additional condition, namely a sustained movement in the exchange rates took place.
V takem primeru Komisija meni, da najvišja stopnja dampinga sodelujočih proizvajalcev ne pomeni dobrega približka za stopnjo dampinga nesodelujočih proizvajalcev, in sicer iz naslednjega razloga: domnevati je treba, da je eden od razlogov za to, zakaj se je tako veliko proizvajalcev odločilo, da ne bodo sodelovali, ta, da so se zavedali, da bodo njihove stopnje dampinga veliko višje od stopenj dampinga sodelujočih proizvajalcev.
As provided by Article 2(11) and (12) of the basic Regulation, for each cooperating company, the weighted average normal value of each type of the like product was compared with the weighted average export price of the corresponding type of the product concerned.
To domnevo podpira dejstvo, da je bilo v tej zadevi sodelovanje prekinjeno med preiskavo.
On this basis, the weighted average dumping margins, expressed as a percentage of the CIF Union frontier price, duty unpaid, are as follows:
Zato Komisija meni, da je stopnja dampinga nesodelujočih proizvajalcev najbolje izražena na ravni najvišje stopnje dampinga, določene za reprezentativno vrsto izdelka v smislu količine, tj. ki predstavlja več kot 10 % izvoza v Unijo, za sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika, za katerega je bilo ugotovljeno, da je izvajal damping.
Company
Po prilagoditvi PSA-stroškov, uporabljenih za izračun stopnje dampinga za tajvanskega sodelujočega proizvajalca izvoznika, kot je opisana v uvodni izjavi 86, stopnja dampinga na ravni države, izražena kot odstotek cene CIF meja Unije brez plačane dajatve, znaša 12,1 %.
Dumping margin established (%)
Po dokončnem razkritju je pritožnik v zvezi s tem trdil, da bi morala preostala dajatev za Tajvan temeljiti na pritožbi in znašati 34,8 %.
King Lai Hygienic Materials Co., Ltd
Trdil je, da večina tajvanskih proizvajalcev zadevnega izdelka namerno ni sodelovala v postopku, da Komisija ne bi mogla uporabiti njihove domače prodaje za izračun normalne vrednosti.
Ta Chen Stainless Pipes Co., Ltd
Zato bi bilo treba po mnenju pritožnika izračun normalne vrednosti v pritožbi, ki je temeljil na domačih cenah v Tajvanu, uporabiti kot najboljše razpoložljivo dejstvo.
For non-cooperating producers, the Commission had to rely on facts available pursuant to Article 18(6) of the basic Regulation.
V odgovor na zgoraj navedeno je treba poudariti, da Komisija pri izračunu preostale dajatve za Tajvan uporablja najboljša razpoložljiva dejstva, ki temeljijo na podatkih, zbranih in preverjenih v preiskavi.
Non-cooperation allows the concerned exporting producers not to share their company specific data on the basis of which their actual export behaviour can be assessed and it obliges the Commission to use best facts available in their respect.
Ta trditev je torej zavrnjena.
The Commission, in its decision practice, distinguishes for that purpose between investigations where cooperation is high (i.e. above 80 % of reported exports to the Union), and situations where cooperation is low (80 % and less of cooperation).
Ljudska republika Kitajska
In the present case, the level of cooperation was substantially below 80 %.
Primerljiva država
In such a situation, the Commission considers that the highest dumping rate of the cooperating producers does not constitute a good approximation for the dumping rate of the non-cooperating producers, for the following reason: it has to be suspected that one of the reasons why so many producers decided not to cooperate is that they were aware that their dumping rates would be far higher than the ones of the cooperating producers.
V skladu s členom 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe je treba normalno vrednost za proizvajalce izvoznike, ki jim TGO ni bila odobrena, določiti na podlagi cen ali konstruirane vrednosti v tretji državi s tržnim gospodarstvom („primerljiva država“).
The fact that, in the present case, cooperation was withdrawn during the investigation supports this understanding.
Nobeden od sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni zahteval TGO.
Therefore, the Commission considers that the dumping rate of the non-cooperating producers is best reflected at the level of the highest dumping margin established for a representative product type in terms of volume, namely representing more than 10 % of exports to the Union, for the cooperating exporting producer who was found to be dumping.
Pritožnik je kot morebitno primerljivo državo predlagal ZDA.
After adjustment of SG&A costs used for the calculation of the dumping margin for the Taiwanese cooperating exporting producer as described in recital 86, the country-wide dumping margin, expressed as a percentage of the CIF Union frontier price, duty unpaid, amounts to 12,1 %.
Poleg tega se glede na razpoložljive informacije podobni izdelek proizvaja v številnih drugih državah po svetu, kot so Brazilija, Indija, Japonska, Malezija, Koreja, Švica in Tajska.
Following the final disclosure, the complainant claimed in this regard that the residual duty for Taiwan should be based on complaint and amount to 34,8 %.
Vse te države so se preučile kot morebitne primerljive države.
The complainant claimed that most of the Taiwanese producers of the product concerned deliberately failed to cooperate in the procedure in order not to allow the Commission to use their domestic sales for the calculation of the normal value.
Stiki so bili vzpostavljeni z vsemi znanimi proizvajalci (52) podobnega izdelka v zgoraj navedenih državah, vendar ni sodeloval nihče od njih.
Therefore, according to the complainant, normal value calculation in the complaint, which was based on domestic prices in Taiwan, should be used as best fact available.
K sodelovanju je privolila samo ena malezijska družba, vendar ni zagotovila zadostnih informacij.
In response to the above it is noted that in its calculation of the residual duty for Taiwan the Commission is using best facts available based on data collected and verified in the investigation.
Družba ni bila sposobna predložiti podatkov v zvezi s stroški in domačimi cenami po PCN.
This claim is therefore rejected.
Njenih pomanjkljivih podatkov zato ni bilo mogoče uporabiti za določitev normalne vrednosti.
People's Republic of China
Poleg tega je treba opozoriti, da je zadevna malezijska družba zavrnila preveritev predloženih podatkov na kraju samem.
Analogue country
V poznejši fazi se je kot morebitni primerljivi proizvajalec javil švicarski proizvajalec in privolil v sodelovanje.
According to Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation, the normal value for the exporting producers not granted MET has to be established on the basis of the prices or constructed value in a third market country (‘analogue country’).
Družba je predložila izpolnjen vprašalnik in ta je bil preverjen na kraju samem.
None of the cooperating exporting producers claimed MET.
Vendar pa se je Komisija glede na precej omejen obseg vrst izdelkov, ki jih proizvaja ta družba, v primerjavi s širokim naborom vrst izdelkov, ki so jih v Unijo izvažali vzorčeni kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, odločila, da podatki, ki bi jih predložila švicarska družba, ne bi bili ustrezni za določitev normalne vrednosti za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike.
The complainant proposed the USA as a potential analogue country.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da se je samo 4,6 % vrst izdelka, ki so jih v Unijo izvažali kitajski proizvajalci in so obsegali 4,2 % kitajskega obsega izvoza, neposredno ujemalo z vrstami izdelka, ki jih proizvaja švicarski proizvajalec.
In addition, according to available information, the production of the like product takes place in a number of other countries worldwide such as Brazil, India, Japan, Malaysia, Korea, Switzerland and Thailand.
V primeru Tajvana, ki je bil nazadnje uporabljen kot primerljiva država, je bila stopnja neposrednega ujemanja z vrstami izdelka, ki so jih v Unijo izvažali kitajski proizvajalci, 7,7-odstotna pri številu vrst izdelka in 11,1-odstotna pri obsegu izvoza.
These countries were all considered as potential analogue countries.
V teh okoliščinah se je Komisija odločila, da bo kot primerljivo državo uporabila drugo državo v preiskavi, tj. Tajvan, in to kljub prvotno predstavljenim argumentom pritožnikov, ki so trdili, da tajvanske družbe proizvajajo predvsem pribor (fitinge) na podlagi varjenih cevi kot surovine (v nasprotju s kitajskimi proizvajalci, ki uporabljajo predvsem brezšivne cevi).
All known producers (52) of the like product in the above mentioned countries were contacted, but none of them cooperated.
Enak argument so navedli tudi kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki.
