the chilling effect of the request for registration by the complainant on 5 April 2016 and its update in June 2016 (which, though, was withdrawn only in mid-August 2016),
Pripombe zainteresiranih strani po dokončnem razkritju
the adoption by the Commission of Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1329 [10], under which anti-dumping duties were collected retroactively for the first time, andthe knowledge of the intention of the Commission to decide on provisional measures within 8 months of initiation (instead of 9 months).
Kitajsko združenje železarjev in jeklarjev (CISA) je po dokončnem razkritju po eni strani pozdravilo dejstvo, da je Komisija uporabila dodatne podatke iz obdobja po preiskavi, po drugi strani pa trdilo, da je Komisija napačno ocenila razvoj kitajskega uvoza od julija 2016.
Comments from interested parties following the provisional Regulation
Zato je od Komisije zahtevala, naj najnovejše podatke iz obdobja po preiskavi upošteva samo na podlagi dejstev in naj jih ne razlaga z vidika oddaljenih možnosti ali neutemeljenih trditev.
One interested party argued that the Commission mainly based its analysis on a data set, i.e. from the end of 2015, which is more than nine months old at the time of the investigation and which cannot give the most reliable indication as to the likelihood of substantially increased imports.
Podobne pripombe sta predložila dva druga kitajska proizvajalca izvoznika in italijanski uporabnik.
Furthermore, it also argued that an analysis of the import trends for a representative period of time would have shown that import volumes are decreasing.
Komisija se je strinjala, da se je povečevanje obsega uvoza ustavilo, vendar predvsem po juliju 2016.
As a result, this interested party qualified the analysis of the threat of injury by the Commission as flawed.
Vendar je opazila tudi, da je absolutna raven še vedno visoka.
First, the Commission noted that it had provided all data, available at that time, in recital (124) of the provisional Regulation, both for the period considered and the post-investigation period.
Čeprav je bil kitajski uvoz v obdobju od januarja do junija 2016 (773275 ton v šestih mesecih) manjši kot v obdobju od julija do decembra 2015 (806914 ton v šestih mesecih), je bil povprečni obseg uvoza v obdobju od januarja do junija 2016 še vedno večji kot v obdobju od januarja do junija 2015 (712390 ton v šestih mesecih) in vseh drugih predhodnih šestmesečnih obdobjih.
Second, the Commission has again updated in recital (60) all information concerning the Chinese import volumes.
Poleg tega Komisija trenda obsega uvoza ni analizirala kot ločeni dejavnik, ampak je uporabila celovit pristop.
However, this decrease can mainly be explained for the reasons as mentioned in recital (61).
V zvezi z razlogom, zakaj se je kitajski izvoz zmanjšal zlasti od druge polovice leta 2016, temeljijo razlage Komisije na treh dejstvih, tj. javnih objavah v sporočilu Komisije o jeklu, zahtevku za registracijo, ki ga je predložil pritožnik v tej zadevi, in sklepu o retroaktivnem pobiranju dajatev za nekatere hladno valjane jeklene izdelke:
Comments from interested parties following definitive disclosure
na podlagi sporočila Komisije o jeklu z dne 16. marca 2016 (Jeklarska industrija: ohranjanje trajnostnih delovnih mest in rasti v Evropi) [11] so bili kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki seznanjeni z namero Komisije, da bo „takoj izkoristila vsak manevrski prostor, da bi še dodatno pospešila sprejemanje začasnih ukrepov“ (z devetih na osem mesecev).
Following definitive disclosure, the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA) on the one hand welcomed the Commission's use of additional post-investigation period data, but on the other hand argued that the Commission's assessment of the evolution of the Chinese imports since July 2016 onwards was wrong.
Zato so se zaradi začetka te zadeve 13. februarja 2016 zavedali, da bi bili lahko začasni ukrepi uvedeni v začetku oktobra 2016;
This interested party stated, from a factual point of view, that the Chinese import volumes started steadily decreasing since the beginning of 2016.
pritožnik je 5. aprila 2016 vložil zahtevek za registracijo uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz Ljudske republike Kitajske.
Moreover, it argued that the Commission was violating the general principle of Article 3(9) of the basic Regulation by stating that the most recent decline of Chinese exports was likely to be a temporary phenomenon since a determination of a threat of material must ‘be based on facts and not based on an allegation, conjecture or remote possibility’.
S predložitvijo novejših informacij ga je posodobil 2. junija 2016.
It therefore requested the Commission to consider the most recent post-IP data on the basis of facts alone, and to refrain from interpreting the most recent post-IP data in the light of remote possibilities or unsupported assertions.
Tako so dobro obveščeni proizvajalci izvozniki in izvozniki vedeli za tveganje, da bodo morda morali za izvožene podobne izdelke plačati retroaktivne dajatve 90 dni pred morebitno uvedbo začasnih dajatev oktobra 2016, tj. julija 2016, če bodo zadevni izdelek odpošiljali od druge polovice leta 2016;
Similar comments were received from two other Chinese exporting producers and from the Italian user.
Komisija je 29. julija 2016 sprejela Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) 2016/1329, v skladu s katero so se protidampinške dajatve za nekatere hladno valjane jeklene izdelke, tudi za jekleni izdelek, prvič pobrale retroaktivno.
The Commission agreed that the trend of increasing volumes stopped, but mainly from July 2016 onwards.
Verjetnost tveganja, da se bodo ukrepi v okviru tega postopka začeli uporabljati že v začetku julija 2016, se je tako še povečala zaradi retroaktivnega zbiranja, ki v tem primeru vključuje jekleni izdelek.
However, it also observed that the absolute level was still high.
Združenje CISA tudi trdi, da so razlage Komisije v zvezi s tem, zakaj se je kitajski uvoz začel zmanjševati od druge polovice leta 2016, „oddaljene možnosti ali neutemeljene trditve“.
While the Chinese imports for the period January-June 2016 (773275 tonnes for 6 months) were lower than the period July-December 2015 (806914 tonnes for 6 months), the average import volumes for the period January-June 2016 were still higher than for the period January-June 2015 (712390 tonnes for 6 months) and for all other 6 months' periods before.
Kot je navedeno zgoraj, razlage Komisije temeljijo na dejstvih.
Second, the Commission has not analysed the trend of import volumes as an isolated factor, but has taken a comprehensive approach.
Komisija ugotavlja, da združenje CISA ni predložilo druge verjetne razlage za zmanjšanje kitajskega izvoza.
It weighted and assessed not only all the factors which are listed in Article 3(9), second subparagraph, of the basic Regulation but in addition some additional factors such as order intakes and profitability (see Sections 4.2-4.5 below), so as to have a strong factual basis for its overall assessment.
Ker ni bilo drugih pripomb, je Komisija potrdila svoj sklep, da je zadnje zmanjšanje kitajskega izvoza zaradi posebnih okoliščin, opredeljenih v uvodni izjavi 61, verjetno začasno, kar ne more razveljaviti ugotovitev Komisije v zvezi z obstojem grožnje škode.
Concerning the rationale why the Chinese exports decreased mainly from the second half of 2016 onwards, the explanations by the Commission are based on three facts, i.e. the public announcements made in the Steel Communication, the registration request by the complainant in this case, and the decision on the retroactive collection of duties on certain cold-rolled steel products:
Če v sklepni fazi ukrepi ne bodo sprejeti, se bo obseg kitajskega uvoza najverjetneje spet povečal, zlasti ob upoštevanju sedanjih presežnih zmogljivosti v LRK in nezadostnih absorpcijskih sposobnosti tretjih držav ali same LRK, kot je pojasnjeno od uvodne izjave 70 naprej.
On the basis of the Steel Communication from the Commission of 16 March 2016 (‘Steel: Preserving sustainable jobs and growths in Europe’) [11] the Chinese exporting producers had been made aware of the intention of the Commission to ‘immediately use the available margins to further accelerate the adoption of provisional measures by reducing investigation procedures by one month (from nine to eight months).’
Sklep
As a result, due to the initiation of this case on 13 February 2016, they had been aware that provisional measures could be imposed early October 2016.
Zmanjšanje obsega kitajskega uvoza po juliju 2016 je mogoče pojasniti z odvračilnim učinkom zahtevka za registracijo in seznanjenostjo z namero Komisije, da bo odločitev o začasnih ukrepih sprejela v osmih mesecih od začetka.
On 5 April 2016, the Complainant submitted a request for registration of imports from the PRC of the product concerned.
Zato to ni spremenilo ocene Komisije, da je ob koncu obdobja preiskave obstajala očitna in neposredna grožnja škode.
On 2 June 2016, the complainant updated the request by providing more recent information.
Zadostne prosto razpoložljive zmogljivosti
As a result, well-informed exporting producers and exporters knew that there was a risk that — if they shipped the product concerned from the second half of 2016 onwards — their exported like products could become subject to retro-active duties 90 days prior to the potential imposition of provisional duties in October 2016, i.e. by July 2016.
Posodobitev podatkov za čas po OP
On 29 July 2016, the Commission adopted an Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1329, under which anti-dumping duties were collected retroactively for the first time on certain cold-rolled steel products, also a steel product.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 133 in tabeli iz uvodne izjave 185 začasne uredbe, je bila dejanska proizvodnja zadevnega izdelka v LRK leta 2014 (317,4 milijona ton) približno 5-krat tolikšna kot celotna proizvodnja v Rusiji, Ukrajini, Iranu in Braziliji skupaj (57,4 milijona ton).
As a result, the risk that measures would apply as of early July 2016 in this proceeding became even more certain because of the retroactive collection in this case involving a steel product.
To kaže na ogromno proizvodno zmogljivost zadevnega izdelka v LRK.
CISA also argues that the Commission's explanations on why the Chinese imports decreased from the second half of 2016 onwards are ‘remote possibilities or unsupported assertions’.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 140 in 139 začasne uredbe, je Komisija poleg tega ugotovila, da absorpcijska sposobnost trga LRK ni zadostna in da ni verjetno, da bi tretje države lahko same absorbirale ogromno količino prosto dostopnih zmogljivosti.
The Commission notes that CISA itself did not provide a plausible alternative explanation as to why the Chinese exports went down.
Tabela 4
In the absence of any other comments, the Commission hence confirmed its conclusion that the most recent decline of Chinese exports is likely to be a temporary phenomenon due to the specific circumstances identified in recital (61) that is not capable of invalidating the findings of the Commission concerning the existence of a threat of injury.
Dejanska proizvodnja podobnega izdelka v tretjih državah (v tisoč tonah)
If no measures are taken at the definitive stage, Chinese import volumes will most likely increase again, especially in light of the present overcapacities in the PRC and the insufficient absorption capacity of third states or the PRC itself, as explained from recital (70) onwards.
Država
Conclusion
Proizvodnja surovega jekla leta 2014 Proizvodnja surovega jekla leta 2015 [13]
The decrease of Chinese import volumes after July 2016 can be explained by the chilling effect of the registration request and the knowledge of intention of the Commission to decide on provisional measures within 8 months of initiation.
Teoretična presežna zmogljivost leta 2015 [13] Dejanska proizvodnja HRF leta 2014
In addition, the absolute level of Chinese imports volumes after July 2016 onwards remains very high when compared to 2014.
Dejanska proizvodnja HRF leta 2015 Rusija
For these reasons, it is likely that this decrease in import volumes would be only temporarily, and such trend would revert if no measures are imposed.
LRK
Therefore it did not change the Commission's assessment that there was a clear and imminent threat of injury at the end of the investigation period.

Update of the post-IP data
Navedeni posodobljeni podatki o proizvodnji podobnega izdelka v letu 2015 kažejo, da zadevna država precej presega vse druge velike države izvoznice; iz navedenih posodobljenih podatkov o zmogljivostih za surovo jeklo v letu 2015 je še razvidno, da ima samo LRK tako velike presežne zmogljivosti (skoraj 350 milijonov ton leta 2015 v primerjavi s 317 milijoni ton leta 2014, kot je prikazano v tabeli iz uvodne izjave 185 začasne uredbe).
Table 4
Skratka, kitajski organi priznavajo težavo presežnih zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu, ki kljub nekaterim objavam po 30. juniju 2016 v bližnji prihodnosti verjetno ne bo rešena.
Actual production of the like product by third countries (in thousands of tonnes)
Kitajska presežna zmogljivost je tako velika, da je v kratko- ali srednjeročnem obdobju dejansko ni mogoče odpraviti.
Country
Podatki o absorpcijski sposobnosti LRK, ki so bili dani na voljo po juliju 2016, so omejeni.
Crude steel capacity estimated for the year 2015 [12]
Kljub temu je Komisija ugotovila, da bo predvideno domače povpraševanje Kitajske po jeklu v naslednjih štirih do petih letih (2015–2020) majhno ali nično, ker so naložbe (na primer v gradbeništvo) počasne, to pa bo bistveno vplivalo na domačo porabo Kitajske na področju končnih jeklenih izdelkov [15].
Crude steel production in 2014
Iz podatkov o absorpcijski sposobnosti tretjih držav, ki so bili dani na voljo po juliju 2016, je bilo razvidno, da:
Theoretical excess capacity in 2015 [13]
po drugi strani je Indija med nedavno preiskavo v zvezi z zaščitnimi ukrepi za vroče valjane ploščate liste in plošče legiranega in nelegiranega jekla uvedla končne stopnje dajatev.
HRF actual production in 2014
Poleg tega je Brazilija začela protisubvencijsko preiskavo v zvezi z uvozom vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz ogljikovega jekla.
HRF actual production in 2015
Nazadnje, turški proizvajalci so vložili nove peticije v zvezi s protidampinškimi in izravnalnimi dajatvami za uvoz vroče valjanih kolobarjev s poreklom tudi iz Kitajske.
Russia
V zvezi s tem je ena zainteresirana stran po dokončnem razkritju obvestila Komisijo, da so medtem turški organi 21. decembra 2016 začeli novo dampinško preiskavo, ki zajema debelo pločevino in nekatere vrste vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov.
PRC
Ob upoštevanju teh posodobljenih informacij tretje države verjetno ne bodo sposobne absorbirati vse večjega kitajskega izvoza, ki je posledica ogromne količine prosto razpoložljivih kitajskih zmogljivosti.
Ukraine
Tudi če bi se ohranilo nespremenjeno stanje kitajskega izvoza v druge tretje države, bo trg Unije brez uvedbe ukrepov verjetno še naprej eden od glavnih ciljev kitajskega dampinškega izvoza.
The above updated 2015 production figures for the like product show that the country concerned outnumbers by far all other large exporting countries; the above updated 2015 capacity figures for crude steel also indicate that only the PRC has such a massive excess capacity (amounting to almost 350 million tonnes in 2015, compared to 317 million tonnes in 2014, as shown in the table of recital (185) of the provisional Regulation).
Po dokončnem razkritju je znova poudaril, da so bili tudi prejšnji poskusi Kitajske, da bi omejila domače presežne zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu, neuspešni.
Accordingly, the Commission reiterated that the overcapacity in steel production in the PRC constitutes an important indicator for the existence of a threat of an imminent injury to the Union industry.
Po navedbah te zainteresirane strani kitajska vlada torej verjetno ne bo mogla odpraviti velike presežne zmogljivosti, ki že veliko let vpliva na jeklarstvo in ki jo je vlada že velikokrat poskušala obravnavati, vendar neuspešno.
In addition, the information and projections concerning the Chinese capacity of crude steel and the product concerned that became available after July 2016 still showed the same inconsistencies:
Po drugi strani pa je druga zainteresirana stran po dokončnem razkritju navedla, da je kitajska vlada nedavno naznanila, da je dosegla cilje v zvezi z zmanjšanjem zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu v letu 2016 in da je trdno zavezana nadaljnjemu zmanjševanju zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu.
On the one hand, the Commission received anecdotal information that the PRC apparently started to reduce its overcapacity: In this respect, the EU Delegation in Beijing reported that a Deputy Director of the China Iron and Steel Association (CISA) declared that the PRC is likely to cut off 70 millions of tonnes of steel overcapacity during 2016 (announcement on 28 October 2016).
Komisija mora v zvezi s trditvijo, da je kitajska vlada vedno znova neuspešno poskušala zmanjšati ogromne presežne zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu, izvesti analizo, ki je usmerjena v prihodnost, v zvezi z grožnjo škode.
Furthermore, Baosteel Group and Wuhan Steel Group also announced that they completed their targeted capacity cuts for 2016 already in October 2016 (announcement on 24 October 2016).
Zato je izjave pritožnika obravnavala kot nepomembne, saj se nanašajo na preteklost in jih ni mogoče uporabiti za ekstrapoliranje prihodnjega ravnanja kitajske vlade.
On the other hand, recent OECD projections [14] estimate that the Chinese capacity will even further increase in 2016, 2017 and 2018.
V zvezi z nasprotno trditvijo drugih zainteresiranih strani o zmanjšanju kitajske zmogljivosti je Komisija znova poudarila, da so razpoložljive informacije in napovedi o kitajski zmogljivosti glede surovega jekla in zadevnega izdelka nedosledne.
The Chinese side continued to avoid engaging in a bilateral platform between the Union and the PRC to monitor steel excess capacity.
Ne da bi se oporekalo resnosti kitajskih zavez glede zmanjšanja njenih zmogljivosti ostaja dejstvo, da je obstoječa presežna zmogljivost Kitajske, kot je prikazana v tabeli 20 začasne uredbe, tako obsežna, da je realno kratko- ali srednjeročno ni mogoče odpraviti.
In addition, the 13th 5-year plan in relation to ‘Steel industry adjustment and upgrading plan’ (2016-2020) assumes crude steel production volume forecast at 750-800 million tonnes in 2020 and crude steel production capacity reduction by 100-150 million till 2020.
Kar zadeva absorpcijsko sposobnost tretjih držav, se je ena zainteresirana stran sklicevala na dejstvo, da sta Malezija in Turčija končali dve preiskavi o vroče valjanih kolobarjih v zvezi z LRK.
It also encourages steel enterprises being in a good position to go overseas and set up steel production bases as well as processing and distribution centres.
Zato je ta zainteresirana stran sklenila, da se je domnevna verjetnost preusmeritve trgovine v Unijo zmanjšala.
In summary, the issue of overcapacity in the steel sector in the PRC is acknowledged by the Chinese authorities, and despite some announcements made after 30 June 2016, is not likely to be resolved in the near future.
Te izjave so bile zavrnjene: kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 74, bodo druge države verjetno sprejele ukrepe, zaradi česar ni verjetno, da bi začele same absorbirati ogromno kitajsko zmogljivost.
The Chinese overcapacity is so massive that realistically it cannot disappear in the short or medium-term period.
Pripomb o absorpcijski sposobnosti LRK ni predložila nobena zainteresirana stran.
The data concerning the absorption capacity of the PRC that became available after July 2016 is limited.
Podatki za čas po OP potrjujejo analizo Komisije v začasni fazi: glede na omejeni napredek pri zmanjševanju ogromne presežne zmogljivosti v letu 2016 bodo brez sprejetja ukrepov znatne količine obstoječe ogromne presežne zmogljivosti jekla, vključno s podobnim izdelkom, verjetno še naprej usmerjene na trg Unije.
Nevertheless, the Commission found that the domestic Chinese steel demand forecast is one of ‘low to no growth’ in the coming 4-5 years (2015-2020) as investments (such as in construction business) are slow, what will impact dramatically the domestic Chinese finished steel consumption.
Sedanje presežne zmogljivosti in nezadostna absorpcijska sposobnost tretjih držav ali same LRK kažejo, da bi se lahko kitajski izvoz v Unijo znatno povečal, če v sklepni fazi ne bodo sprejeti nobeni ukrepi.
[15]
Raven cene uvoza
The data concerning the absorption capacity of third countries that became available after July 2016 onwards indicated that:
Glede na razpoložljive podatke o ravneh cen uvoza za obdobje od julija do septembra 2016 so se povprečne cene kitajskega uvoza povišale:
On the one hand, Malaysia terminated in January 2016 a safeguard investigation with regard to hot-rolled coils against China and some other countries in January 2016, whereas Turkey terminated in April 2016 an anti-dumping investigation concerning imports of hot-rolled coils from China, France, Japan, Romania, Russia, Slovakia and Ukraine.
Tabela 5
On the other hand, India recently imposed final duty rates in a safeguard investigation of hot-rolled flat sheet and plates of alloy and non-alloy steel.
Povprečne cene kitajskega uvoza v obdobju po OP
Furthermore, Brazil initiated an anti-subsidy investigation against imports of hot-rolled flat carbon steel.
Januar 2016
Finally, Turkish producers have filed new anti-dumping and countervailing duty petitions against imports of hot-rolled coils, originating, inter alia, in China.
Junij 2016
In this respect, following final disclosure, one interested party informed the Commission that the Turkish authorities had opened in the meantime a new dumping investigation on 21 December 2016, covering heavy plate and certain types of HRF.
Julij 2016
As a result, on the basis of this updated information, third countries are unlikely to be able to absorbing increasing Chinese exports as a result of the huge amount of free disposable Chinese capacity.
Avgust 2016
Even if the status quo in Chinese exports to other third countries was maintained, if no measures were imposed, the Union market would likely continue to be among the primary targets of Chinese dumped exports.

Comments from interested parties following the provisional Regulation and following definitive disclosure
(EUR/tono)
Following the provisional Regulation, the complainant referred to the fact that the PRC has announced since 2008 several plans to tackle the steel overcapacity, but that none of them has succeeded.
Nedavno zvišanje cen kitajskega uvoza je treba umestiti v naslednji kontekst:
Following definitive disclosure, the complainant reiterated that previous Chinese attempts to limit the domestic steel overcapacity have also failed.
po 30. juniju 2016 se niso zvišale samo cene kitajskega uvoza, ampak tudi cene uvoza iz drugih glavnih držav izvoznic v Unijo;
As a consequence, according to this interested party, the Chinese government is likely to be unable to cure the huge overcapacity that has affected the steel sector for many years and which it has tried and failed to resolve a number of previous times.
raven, dosežena v zadnjih treh mesecih (julij–september 2016), je bila še vedno nižja od povprečnih stroškov proizvodnje industrije EU (približno 431 EUR/tono ob koncu obdobja preiskave, kot je prikazano v tabeli 11 uvodne izjave 104 začasne uredbe).
On the other hand, following definitive disclosure, another interested party mentioned that the Chinese government has recently announced that it had met his targets for the reduction of capacity in the steel sector in 2016 and that it was strongly committed to further reduce capacity in the steel sector.
Zato je kljub zvišanju ravni cen še vedno prisotno znatno nižanje cen, kar je razlog za nevzdržen položaj industrije EU;
Concerning the argument that the Chinese government has consistently failed to reduce the massive steel overcapacity, the Commission is required to perform a prospective analysis in a threat of injury-case.
eden od pomembnih razlogov za to svetovno višanje cen zadevnega izdelka je višanje cen surovin.
