Conclusion on causation
E. VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA ŠKODE
Even though other factors might also contribute to the injury, these were not found to be sufficient to break the causal link between dumped imports from China and the Union industry's injury.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da so imeli kitajski izvozniki v obravnavanem obdobju v primerjavi z velikostjo evropskega trga presežno prosto zmogljivost, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 50.
E. LIKELIHOOD OF CONTINUATION OF INJURY
V obravnavanem obdobju se je kitajski izvoz na trg Unije znatno povečal, in sicer za 29 %.
It was found that the Chinese exporters had excessive spare capacity during the period considered as indicated in recital 50 when compared to the size of the European market.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 54, je Kitajska zadevni izdelek na trg Unije izvažala večinoma po višjih cenah kot v preostale dele sveta.
During the period considered the Chinese exports to the Union market increased significantly 29 %.
Med preiskavo niso bili odkriti dokazi, da se bo ta položaj vsaj kratkoročno spremenil.
As mentioned in recital 54, China exported the product concerned to the Union market mainly at higher prices than to the rest of the world.
Ugotovljeno je bilo torej, da je trg Unije precej privlačen za kitajske izvoznike zaradi možnosti izvoza velikih količin po višjih cenah kot v preostale dele sveta.
The investigation found no evidence that this situation will change at least in the short run.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je bilo 60 % kitajskega uvoza opravljenega po dampinških cenah in da v primeru prenehanja veljavnosti ukrepov obstaja verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga.
Therefore, the Union market was found to be rather attractive to Chinese exporters because of the opportunity to export significant quantities at higher prices than to the rest of the world.
Kitajski dampinški uvoz je še naprej znatno nelojalno nižal cene proizvajalcev Unije na podobnih ravneh kot v prvotni preiskavi.
The investigation showed that 60 % of the Chinese imports were made at dumped prices and that there was a likelihood of continuation of dumping should the measures be allowed to lapse.
Zlasti je bilo za kitajski uvoz, za katerega veljajo ukrepi, ugotovljeno, da je nelojalno znižal prodajne cene za 22,8 %, kar kaže na agresivno vedenje pri oblikovanju cen.
The Chinese dumped imports continued to significantly undercut the prices of the Union producers at the similar levels as in the initial investigation.
To bo verjetno povzročilo nadalje znižanje cen in ogrozilo krhko okrevanje industrije Unije.
Specifically, the Chinese imports subject to measures were found to undercut by 22,8 %, demonstrating an aggressive behaviour in pricing.
Obstaja torej jasno tveganje, da se bo v primeru prenehanja veljavnosti ukrepov znatna škoda za industrijo Unije nadaljevala.
This is likely to cause further depression to the prices and jeopardise the fragile recovery of the Union industry.
Glede na navedeno se sklene, da bi razveljavitev ukrepov za uvoz iz Kitajske po vsej verjetnosti privedla do nadaljevanja znatne škode za industrijo Unije.
Thus, there is a clear risk that material injury to the Union industry will continue should measures be allowed to lapse.
F. INTERES UNIJE
In the light of the foregoing, it is concluded that the repeal of measures on the imports from China would in all likelihood result in the continuation of material injury to the Union industry.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali bi bila ohranitev veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov zoper Kitajsko v nasprotju z interesom Unije.
F. UNION INTEREST
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih zadevnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov in uporabnikov.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether maintaining the existing anti-dumping measures against China would be against the interest of the Union.
Vse zainteresirane strani so imele možnost, da izrazijo stališča v skladu s členom 21(2) osnovne uredbe.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers and users.
Na podlagi tega je Komisija proučila, ali kljub sklepom o verjetnosti ponovitve dampinga in škode obstajajo utemeljeni razlogi, ki bi privedli do sklepa, da ohranitev veljavnih ukrepov ni v interesu Unije.
All interested parties were given the opportunity to make their views known pursuant to Article 21(2) of the basic Regulation.
Interes industrije Unije
On this basis the Commission examined whether, despite the conclusions on the likelihood of recurrence of dumping and injury, compelling reasons existed which would lead to the conclusion that it was not in the Union interest to maintain the existing measures.
Industrija Unije je nenehno izgubljala tržni delež in je v obravnavanem obdobju utrpela znatno škodo.
Interest of the Union industry
Vseeno je svojo dobičkonosnost izboljšala na raven, ko so stroški skoraj pokriti (vendar je dobičkonosnost še vedno negativna), medtem ko je prodaja ostala na skoraj enaki ravni.
The Union industry has consistently lost market share and has suffered material injury during the period considered.
Ta razvoj v smeri stabilnosti na trgu je verjetno treba pripisati uvedenim ukrepom.
It nevertheless improved its profitability to a level which is close to break-even (but still negative) whilst sales remained almost at the same level.
V primeru razveljavitve ukrepov bi se industrija Unije po vsej verjetnosti znašla v še slabšem položaju.
This development towards stability in the market is most likely attributable to the measures in place.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da bi bila ohranitev veljavnih ukrepov zoper Kitajsko v interesu industrije Unije.
Should measures be repealed, the Union industry would in all likelihood be found in an even worse situation.
Interes uvoznikov/trgovcev
It was therefore concluded that maintaining the measures in force against China would be in the interest of the Union industry.
V fazi začetka je obrazce za vzorčenje izpolnilo 15 nepovezanih uvoznikov, zato je bilo odločeno, da se uporabijo določbe o vzorčenju.
Interest of importers/traders
Izbrani so bili trije uvozniki in pozvani, naj izpolnijo vprašalnik.
Fifteen unrelated importers filled in sampling forms at the stage of initiation, so it was decided to apply provisions on sampling.
Nazadnje je samo en uvoznik predložil izpolnjen vprašalnik, ki je bil preverjen.
Three importers were selected and were asked to fill in a questionnaire.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je družba uvažala samo od enega kitajskega proizvajalca, za katerega veljajo ukrepi in s katerim ima dolgoročno poslovno razmerje.
Ultimately, only one importer submitted a questionnaire reply which was verified.
Pokazala je tudi, da učinek veljavnih ukrepov na družbo ni bil znaten.
The investigation revealed that the company imported from only one Chinese producer subject to measures, with whom it has a long-term business relationship.
To je potrjeno z dejstvom, da se uvoznik kljub uvedbi prvotnih ukrepov ni odločil zamenjati vira oskrbe.
The investigation showed that the impact of the measures in force on the company was not significant.
Interes uporabnikov
This is confirmed by the fact that the importer decided not to change source of supply despite the imposition of the original measures.
V začetni fazi se je javilo 25 uporabnikov, ki so želeli izpolniti vprašalnike.
Interest of users
Nazadnje so izpolnjene vprašalnike predložili le štirje uporabniki.
Twenty-five users came forward at the initiation stage and requested to fill in questionnaires.
Pri vseh so bili opravljeni obiski in preverjeni podatki, ki so jih predložili.
Ultimately, questionnaire replies were received from only four users.
Vendar je mogoče opaziti, da je v tem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepov sodelovalo veliko manj uporabnikov kot ob prvotni uvedbi ukrepov.
They were all visited and their submitted data was verified.
V prvotni preiskavi je sodelovalo 33 uporabnikov, medtem ko so v pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepov sodelovali le štirje.
However, it is noticeable that there was considerably less participation by the user industry in this expiry review than there was when measures were first imposed.
Kaže, da se je večina uporabnikov lahko prilagodila uvedbi ukrepov tako, da je njihovo poslovanje utrpelo le majhno škodo.
In the original investigation 33 users cooperated with the investigation whereas only four participated in the expiry review.
Komisija je pri enem uporabniku, ki je bil dejaven v industriji sukanca za šivanje, ugotovila, da učinek sedanjih ukrepov na njegove stroške in dobičkonosnost ni bil znaten.
The majority of users appear to have been able to adjust to the imposition of the measures with little detriment to their operations.
Pri drugih treh uporabnikih, ki vsi uvažajo PVT iz Kitajske in so bili dejavni v tkalski industriji (pasovi, trakovi, vrvi itd.), je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bil sicer učinek sedanjih ukrepov na njihove stroške majhen, izrazitejši pa je bil učinek na dobičkonosnost, saj te družbe poslujejo z zelo nizkimi stopnjami dobička.
For one user, which was active in the sewing thread industry, the Commission found that the impact of the current measures on its costs and profitability was not significant.
Vseeno se je učinek dajatev zdel omejen, saj so bili na voljo številni drugi dobavitelji s konkurenčnimi cenami.
For the other three users, all of which import HTY from China and which were active in the weaving industry (belts, strap, lashings, etc.), it was found that although the impact of the current measures on their costs was small, the impact on profitability was more pronounced, since these companies conduct their business at very low profit margins.
Uporabniki, ki so predložili stališča, so izrazili pripombe glede težav, ki jih imajo s proizvajalci Unije, kot so nezadostna zmogljivost, neobstoj nekaterih lastnosti in nepravočasne dobave.
Nevertheless, the impact of the duties appeared to be limited as there were many alternative available suppliers with competitive prices.
Uporabniki so trdili, da veljavni ukrepi (0–9,8 %) v povezavi z običajno uvozno dajatvijo v višini 4 % koristijo njihovim konkurentom, ki na trg EU uvažajo izdelke, ki so nižje v prodajni verigi, po nižjih cenah, saj jim ni treba plačati dajatev za surovine (zadevni izdelek).
Users who made submissions, commented on problems they experience with the Union producers, such as lack of capacity, lack of certain qualities and untimely deliveries.
Menijo, da bo ta položaj privedel do nadaljnjega prenosa postopkov, ki so nižje v prodajni verigi, v kraje zunaj EU in ogrozil prihodnost domnevno 4000 zaposlenih v njihovi industriji.
The users claimed that the existing measures (0 %-9,8 %) in conjunction with the regular import duty of 4 % benefit their competitors to import into the EU market downstream products at lower prices since their competitors do not need to pay duties for their raw materials (product concerned).
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da dokazi v podporo tem trditvam in domnevnim tveganjem niso mogli potrditi dejstva, da so to ponavljajoče se in strukturne težave v zvezi z industrijo Unije.
They believe that this situation will lead to a further transfer of downstream operations to locations outside the EU and put at stake the future of allegedly 4000 employees in their industry.
Najprej je treba opozoriti, da je bilo sodelovanje uporabnikov v tej preiskavi precej omejeno v primerjavi s sodelovanjem v prvotni preiskavi (takrat je sodelovalo 33 uporabnikov), zato zgoraj navedene težave najverjetneje niso skupne vsem uporabnikom, ki delujejo na trgu Unije.
The investigation found that the evidence supporting these claims and alleged risks could not support that these were recurrent and structural problems in respect of the Union industry.
V zvezi s specifičnimi trditvami sodelujočih uporabnikov je preiskava pokazala, da ima industrija Unije še vedno dovolj neizkoriščene zmogljivosti (izkoriščenost zmogljivosti v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je bila 84-odstotna) ter ponuja širok nabor izdelkov in lastnosti.
It should first be recalled that the cooperation from the users in this investigation was quite limited as compared to the cooperation in the original investigation (33 users cooperated at that time), and therefore the above problems are most likely not common to all the users operating on the Union market.
Poleg tega poleg petih proizvajalcev v EU obstajajo številni drugi dobavitelji iz drugih tretjih držav s konkurenčnimi cenami in širokim naborom izdelkov, vključno s kitajskim uvozom, za katerega protidampinške dajatve ne veljajo.
As to the specific claims of the cooperating users, the investigation showed that the Union industry still has enough idle capacity (capacity utilisation during the review investigation period was 84 %) and offers a wide range of products and qualities.
Glede na razmeroma nizko stopnjo protidampinške dajatve in dejstvo, da za velik delež kitajskega uvoza ukrepi ne veljajo, prav tako ni verjetno, da bi bili veljavni ukrepi odločilni dejavnik za domnevno selitev industrij, ki so nižje v prodajni verigi.
Furthermore, in addition to the five producers in the EU, there are many alternative suppliers from other third countries with competitive prices and wide range of products, including Chinese imports not subject to the anti-dumping duties.
Nazadnje, dokazi o nepravočasnih dobavah so bili zanemarljivi.
Given the relatively low anti-dumping duty level and the fact that a large portion of Chinese imports are not subject to measures also makes it unlikely the measures in force would be the determinant factor for the alleged relocation of the downstream industries.
Ena zainteresirana stran je v zvezi z izkoriščenostjo zmogljivosti industrije Unije v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom trdila, da je 84-odstotna stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti blizu polni zmogljivosti in da torej ni bilo dovolj razpoložljive neizkoriščene zmogljivosti.
Finally, the evidence of untimely deliveries was negligible.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je povprečna odpadna proizvodnja industrije Unije znašala približno 6 % celotne proizvodnje v OPP, s čimer je ustrezala teoretični maksimalni izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti v višini 94 %, kar je razumnejša ocena izkoriščenosti polne zmogljivosti kot 84 %, ki so navedeni v trditvi.
With respect to the capacity utilisation of the Union industry during the review investigation period, one interested party claimed that a level of 84 % capacity utilisation represents close to full capacity and thus there was not enough available idle capacity.
Na podlagi preostale, najmanj 10-odstotne neizkoriščene zmogljivosti je bila trditev zavrnjena.
The investigation revealed that the average waste production of the Union industry was around 6 % of total production during the RIP, corresponding in that way to a theoretical maximum capacity utilisation of 94 %, which is a more reasonable estimation of full capacity utilisation than the 84 % mentioned in the claim.
Ista zainteresirana stran je trdila, da proizvajalci Unije in nekitajski proizvajalci niso zmožni zadostiti celotnemu povpraševanju in velikosti posameznih naročil evropske uporabniške industrije.
On the basis of the remaining idle capacity of at least 10 %, the claim was rejected.
Poudariti je treba, da nadaljevanje ukrepov ne bi spremenilo obstoječih tržnih razmer.
The same interested party claimed that the Union producers and the non-Chinese producers are incapable of satisfying the total demand and the size of single orders of the European user industry.
Preiskava ni razkrila bistvenih sprememb v zahtevah uporabnikov v zvezi z velikostjo naročil ali kakovostjo.
It should be noted that the continuation of the measures does not change the existing underlying market conditions.
Poleg tega je ugotovljeno dejstvo, da industrija Unije ne more sama zadostiti povpraševanju na trgu in da je zato potreben uvoz.
The investigation did not reveal any fundamental changes in users' demands regarding order sizes or quality.
Poleg tega in še pomembneje je, da je cilj protidampinških ukrepov znova vzpostaviti enake konkurenčne pogoje in poštene tržne pogoje med vsemi zadevnimi stranmi z odpravo znatne škode, ki jo povzroča kitajski dampinški uvoz.
Moreover, it is an established fact that the Union industry cannot fulfil market demand by itself and that imports are necessary in this respect.
Zato ni potrebno, da je industrija Unije sposobna sama oskrbovati trg Unije.
Furthermore, and more importantly, the objective of anti-dumping measures is to restore a level playing field and fair trade conditions amongst all parties concerned by removing the material injury caused by Chinese dumped imports.
V tej zadevi se izdelek uvaža iz številnih različnih virov, kljub obstoju ukrepov pa se je nadaljeval tudi uvoz, za katerega veljajo ukrepi.
There is therefore no need for the Union Industry to be able to supply the Union market on its own.
Nadaljevanje ukrepov v njihovi sedanji obliki in na sedanji ravni torej uporabnikom ne preprečuje, da bi pridobili kitajski izdelek.
In the present case, there are imports from many different sources, and imports subject to measures also continued despite the existence of the measures.
V zvezi s tem so bile določbe protidampinške uredbe upoštevane, zato je treba trditev zavrniti.
Continuation of the measures in their current form and at their current level therefore does not prohibit users of obtaining Chinese product.
Trdilo se je tudi, da evropski proizvajalci niso izkoristili protidampinških dajatev, da bi povečali svojo proizvodno zmogljivost ali posodobili opremo, zato niso mogli obdržati svojega tržnega deleža na rastočem trgu, so pa bili v izjemno udobnem položaju, ne da bi se trudili biti konkurenčni.
In this context, the provisions of the anti-dumping Regulation were respected and as a consequence the argument should be rejected.
Najprej je treba spomniti, da je, kot je navedeno zgoraj, cilj protidampinških ukrepov odpraviti škodljivi damping in da ne obstaja pravna zahteva, da bi se morala industrija Unije prestrukturirati ali posodobiti.
It was also claimed that the European producers have not taken advantage of the anti-dumping duties to increase their production capacity or modernise their equipment which made them incapable of maintaining their market share in a growing market and brought them in an extremely comfortable position without trying to be competitive.
Vsekakor je bila industrija Unije, kot je navedeno že v uvodni izjavi 138, sposobna povečati svojo prodajo, ker je bilo dovolj razpoložljive neizkoriščene zmogljivosti.
It should firstly be recalled, as mentioned above that the objective of anti-dumping measures is to remove injurious dumping, and there is no legal requirement that the Union industry should restructure or modernise.
Poleg tega pozitivni razvoj dobičkonosnosti kaže, da so proizvodne metode industrije Unije še vedno konkurenčne na trgu, ki je zaščiten pred dampinškimi praksami.
In any event, as already shown in recital 138 the Union industry was capable of increasing its sales as there was enough available idle capacity.
Poleg tega položaja industrije Unije nikakor ni mogoče šteti za izjemno udobnega, saj je preiskava pokazala, da se je industriji Unije v obravnavanem obdobju še naprej povzročala znatna škoda, saj je izgubljala tržni delež in ustvarjala izgube.
In addition, the positive evolution of the profitability reveals that the production methods of the Union industry are still competitive in a market that is protected from dumping practices.
Prav ta krhki položaj industrije Unije, ki so ga vsaj delno povzročili pretekle dampinške prakse in nadaljevanje nelojalnega nižanja njenih cen, je industriji Unije preprečil, da bi obsežno vlagala v razširitev zmogljivosti in izrazitejšo posodobitev.
Furthermore, the situation of the Union industry cannot be considered as extremely comfortable at all, as the investigation showed that the Union industry continued to suffer material injury during the period considered by losing market share and making losses.
Druga trditev se nanaša na selitev industrij, ki so nižje v prodajni verigi, zaradi obstoja protidampinških dajatev.
It is exactly the fragile situation of the Union industry caused at least partially by past dumping practices and the continued undercutting of its prices that prevented the Union industry from investing heavily in capacity expansion and more pronounced modernisation.
Trditev je bila podprta s sklicevanjem na predhodno predložitev stališč in zaslišanje, na katerem je bila navedena ista trditev.
Another claim regards the delocalisation of downstream industries due to the existence of the anti-dumping duties.
Opozoriti je treba, da je bilo v preiskavi ugotovljeno, da je bil učinek na dobičkonosnost vzorčenih uporabnikov omejen in da ga torej ni mogoče šteti za odločilnega za selitev uporabniške industrije Unije.
The claim was supported by referring to an earlier submission and hearing in which the same allegation was made.
Poleg tega se ukrepi nadaljujejo na enaki ravni kot prej.
It should be noted that the investigation found that the impact on the profitability of the sampled users was limited and thus cannot be considered the determinant for the delocalisation of the Union user industry.
Nazadnje, v predložitvi stališč ob zaslišanju niso navedene nobene družbe, ki so se dejansko preselile.
Furthermore, the continuation of the measures occurs at the same level as before.
En uvoznik je predstavil trditev o ekonomskih težavah, povezanih z zamenjavo dobaviteljev zadevnega izdelka zaradi dolgega obdobja, ki je potrebno za fazo testiranja, in tveganja izgube strank v primeru nezanesljive kakovosti in nerednih dobav.
Finally, the submission accompanying the hearing does not enumerate any companies that have effectively delocalised.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da je od začetka veljavnosti ukrepov preteklo že skoraj šest let, kar je mogoče šteti za dovolj dolgo obdobje, da uvoznik najde drugega dobavitelja, tudi ob upoštevanju dolgotrajnega testiranja.
A claim regarding the economic hardship linked to the switching of suppliers of the product concerned due to the long period needed for the testing phase and the risk of losing clients in case of unstable quality and irregular deliveries was put forward by one importer.
Sklep o interesu Unije
In this respect, it should be noted that a period of almost six years elapsed during which the measures were in force, and that this can be considered sufficient time for an importer to find alternative suppliers, even against the background of time-consuming testing.
Glede na navedeno je bilo s preiskavo ugotovljeno, da učinek ukrepov na uporabnike in uvoznike ni znaten ter da torej ni očitnih razlogov za odpravo ukrepov na podlagi interesa Unije.
Conclusion on Union interest
G. PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
Based on the above, the investigation concluded that the impact of the measures on the users and importers is not significant and thus there are not any obvious reasons for terminating the measures based on Union interest.
Vse strani so bile obveščene o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih se je nameravalo priporočiti ohranitev obstoječih ukrepov.
G. ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Po navedenem obvestilu jim je bil odobren tudi rok za predložitev pripomb.
All parties were informed of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it was intended to recommend that the existing measures be maintained.
Stališča in pripombe so bili ustrezno upoštevani.
They were also granted a period to submit comments subsequent to that disclosure.
Iz navedenega sledi, kakor je določeno v členu 11(2) osnovne uredbe, da bi bilo treba protidampinške ukrepe, ki se uporabljajo za uvoz preje visoke trdnosti iz poliestra s poreklom iz Kitajske in ki so bili uvedeni z Uredbo (EU) št. 1105/2010, ohraniti.
The submissions and comments were duly taken into consideration.
Da se zmanjša tveganje izogibanja zaradi velike razlike v stopnjah dajatve, se šteje, da so v tem primeru potrebni posebni ukrepi za zagotovitev ustrezne uporabe protidampinških dajatev.
