Return on investments (%)
V obravnavanem obdobju se je zmanjšala za 12 %.
The Commission established the profitability of the three sampled Union producers by expressing the pre-tax net profit of the sales of the like product to unrelated customers in the Union as a percentage of the turnover of those sales.
Po postopnem zmanjševanju od leta 2013 do leta 2015, na katero je vplivalo znatno zmanjšanje prodaje, se je v obdobju preiskave nekoliko izboljšala.
The Union industry has encountered a gradual decrease in profits during the last 10 years.
Vendar ta kazalnik sam po sebi ne izraža položaja industrije Unije.
While the profitability of the Union producers was around 10 % in 2006, it was just 5,3 % in the first year of the period considered and it continued to deteriorate during the period considered.
Sredstva industrije Unije so skoraj v celoti amortizirana, zato je neto vrednost sredstev majhna, rezultat tega pa je umetno visoka donosnost naložb.
The profitability of the three sampled companies decreased by 41 % over the period considered.
Zaradi slabih finančnih rezultatov industrije Unije med letom 2013 in obdobjem preiskave je bila njena zmožnost zbiranja kapitala omejena.
This negative trend has been caused by the Union industry's decreasing sales quantity on the Union market at prices decreasing faster than cost of production over the period considered.
Industrija, ki proizvaja izdelke iz litega železa, je kapitalsko intenzivna, zanjo pa so značilne ponavljajoče se znatne naložbe vsakih 15 do 20 let za nadgradnjo strojev, potrebnih za proizvodni postopek.
The net cash flow is the ability of the Union producers to self-finance their activities.
Proizvodni obrati industrije Unije hitro zastarijo in industrija Unije potrebuje znatne in dolgoročne naložbe, da lahko še naprej deluje.
The cash flow decreased by 38 % over the period considered.
Donosnost naložb v obravnavanem obdobju ne zadostuje za kritje takih znatnih naložb.
After the 56 % decrease between 2013 and 2014, which was influenced by an increasing production compared to 2013 while sales were decreasing, it improved in 2015.
Sklep o škodi
Nevertheless the negative trend continued in the investigation period, with a relatively small decrease.
Preiskava navedenih dejavnikov je pokazala, da se je proizvodnja industrije Unije med letom 2013 in obdobjem preiskave zmanjšala (– 4 %) in da je industrija Unije izgubila del svojega tržnega deleža.
Investments are the net book value of assets.
Štiri livarne v Uniji so v obravnavanem obdobju prenehale delovati.
They decreased steadily between 2013 and 2015 by 3 percentage points and then dropped sharply in the investigation period by 5 percentage points.
Poleg tega se je dobičkonosnost proizvajalcev Unije med letom 2013 in obdobjem preiskave skoraj prepolovila in je bila na zelo nizki stopnji.
Overall in the period considered the investments decreased by 8 %.
Tudi drugi kazalniki škode, na primer zmogljivost (– 4 %), obseg prodaje v Uniji (– 11 %) in zaposlenost (– 7 %), so se v obravnavanem obdobju razvijali negativno.
The return on investments is the profit in percentage of the net book value of investments which reflects the level of depreciation of assets.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega je Komisija v tej fazi sklenila, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
It decreased by 12 % over the period considered.
VZROČNA ZVEZA
After a steady decrease from 2013 to 2015, which was influenced by a substantial decrease in sales, it somewhat improved in the investigation period.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(6) osnovne uredbe proučila, ali je dampinški uvoz iz LRK povzročil znatno škodo industriji Unije.
However, this indicator is not as such telling of the state of the Union industry.
V skladu s členom 3(7) osnovne uredbe je proučila tudi druge znane dejavnike, ki bi lahko hkrati povzročili škodo industriji Unije.
The assets of the Union industry are almost fully depreciated and thus the net value of assets is low, resulting in an artificially high return on investment.
Komisija je zagotovila, da se morebitna škoda, ki so jo povzročili drugi dejavniki in ne dampinški uvoz iz LRK, ni pripisala temu dampinškemu uvozu.
The poor financial performance of the Union industry between 2013 and the investigation period limited its ability to raise capital.
Ti dejavniki so: uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav, izvoz proizvajalcev Unije, upad povpraševanja, konkurenca med proizvajalci Unije, upravljanje industrije Unije in domnevna segmentacija na trgu Unije.
The industry producing cast iron articles is capital intensive and is characterised by recurring substantial investments every 15 to 20 years to upgrade the machines necessary for the production process.
Učinki dampinškega uvoza
The Union industry's production facilities are aging rapidly and the Union industry requires significant and long term investments to be able to continue its operation.
Cene dampinškega uvoza iz LRK so v obdobju preiskave znatno nelojalno nižale cene industrije Unije, pri čemer so stopnje nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen znašale od 35,4 % do 42,7 %, kar je privedlo do zmanjšanja tržnih deležev in dobička za industrijo Unije (s 5,3 % leta 2013 na 3,1 % v obdobju preiskave).
The return on investment during the period considered is not sufficient to cover for such substantial investments.
Dejansko je industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju izgubila 11 % obsega prodaje na trgu, ki se je zmanjšal za 8 %, medtem ko se je obseg uvoza iz LRK povečal za 16 %.
Conclusion on injury
V obravnavanem obdobju se je izguba tržnega deleža industrije Unije v višini 2,1 odstotne točke absorbirala s povečanjem tržnega deleža dampinškega uvoza s poreklom iz LRK za 5,6 odstotne točke.
The examination of the above-mentioned factors shows that between 2013 and the investigation period the Union industry decreased production (– 4 %) and lost part of its market share.
Učinki drugih dejavnikov
Four Union foundries have gone out of business during the period considered.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
Furthermore, the profitability of the Union producers has almost halved at very low level between 2013 and the investigation period.
Obseg uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Moreover, other injury indicators, such as capacity (– 4 %), volume of sales in the Union (– 11 %), and employment (– 7 %) developed negatively over the period considered.
Preglednica 13
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded at this stage that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Vir: Eurostat, preverjene navedbe pritožnikov.
CAUSATION
Država
In accordance with Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether the dumped imports from the PRC caused material injury to the Union industry.
Obdobje preiskave
In accordance with Article 3(7) of the basic Regulation, the Commission also examined whether other known factors could at the same time have injured the Union industry.
Obseg (v tonah)
The Commission ensured that any possible injury caused by factors other than the dumped imports from the PRC was not attributed to the dumped imports.
Povprečna cena
These factors are: imports from other third countries, export sales performance of the Union producers, the contraction in demand, the competition between Union producers, the management of the Union industry, and an alleged segmentation in the Union market.
Druge tretje države
Effects of the dumped imports
Skupno vse tretje države, razen LRK
Prices of dumped imports from the PRC significantly undercut Union industry prices during the investigation period with undercutting margins ranging from 35,4 % to 42,7 % leading to decreasing market shares and profits for the Union industry (from 5,3 % in 2013 to 3,1 % in the investigation period).
Obseg uvoza iz drugih držav razen LRK se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 27 %, in sicer s 102759 ton leta 2013 na 75471 ton v obdobju preiskave.
In effect, during the period considered the Union industry lost 11 % of sales volume in a market declining by 8 % whilst the import volume from the PRC rose by 16 %.
Njihov tržni delež se je zmanjšal za 20 %.
Overall, during the period considered, the Union industry's loss of market share of 2,1 percentage points is absorbed by the increase in market share of 5,6 percentage points of dumped imports originating in the PRC.
Večina tega uvoza izvira iz Indije (61 % v obdobju preiskave).
Effects of other factors
Uvoz iz tretjih držav v obdobju preiskave predstavlja približno 34 % celotnega uvoza v Unijo, pri čemer uvoz iz Indije predstavlja približno 21 %.
Imports from third countries
Obseg uvoza iz Indije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 19 %, in sicer s 37917 ton leta 2013 na približno 46004 tone v obdobju preiskave.
The volume of imports from other third countries developed over the period considered as follows:
Indijski tržni delež se je povečal za 30 %, in sicer s 6,5 % leta 2013 na 8,5 % v obdobju preiskave.
Table 13
V obravnavanem obdobju je LRK pridobila tržni delež deloma od industrije Unije in deloma od tretjih držav razen Indije, čeprav ni mogoče izključiti, da je tudi Indija vsaj deloma povečala svoj tržni delež v škodo industrije Unije.
Source: Eurostat, verified complainants' submission.
Poleg tega so cene uvoza iz Indije v obdobju preiskave nelojalno nižale prodajne cene industrije Unije na podobnih ravneh kot kitajske uvozne cene (od 40 % do 50 %).
Country
Glede na obseg v tonah so bile kitajske uvozne cene v obravnavanem obdobju v povprečju višje od indijskih cen.
Investigation Period
Vendar ta razlika v cenah ničesar ne potrjuje, saj se razpon izdelkov v indijskem in kitajskem izvozu razlikuje.
Volume (tonne)
Dejansko se je iz Indije v EU izvažalo predvsem sivo železo, medtem ko se je iz Kitajske izvažalo predvsem nodularno železo.
Average price
Zaradi razmeroma velike lomljivosti sivega železa je za izdelek iz njega potrebnega več materiala kot za izdelek, proizveden iz nodularnega železa, da se doseže primerljiva učinkovitost.
Other third countries
Zato so izdelki, proizvedeni iz sivega železa, težji, posledično pa je cena na kos zadevnega izdelka podobna.
Total of all third countries except the PRC
Ker je uvoz iz Indije nelojalno nižal prodajne cene industrije Unije, je prispeval k znatni škodi za industrijo Unije.
Import volumes from other countries than the PRC decreased by 27 % over the period considered from 102759 tonnes in 2013 to 75471 tonnes in the investigation period.
Vendar je bil precej manjši in je imel precej manjši tržni delež (8,5-odstotni tržni delež v obdobju preiskave v primerjavi s 27,3-odstotnim deležem za LRK).
Their market share decreased by 20 %.
Zlasti raven uvoza iz LRK je v obdobju preiskave (147186 ton) veliko pomembnejša in več kot trikrat tolikšna kot raven uvoza iz Indije v obdobju preiskave (46004 tone).
Most of these imports originate in India (61 % in the investigation period).
Zato uvoz iz Indije ni prekinil vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in ni mogel imeti več kot majhnega učinka na škodo industrije Unije.
Third country imports account for around 34 % of all imports in the Union in the investigation period, with imports from India being around 21 % in the investigation period.
Analiza Eurostatovih podatkov je pokazala, da so se cene uvoza iz drugih držav razen Indije in LRK v obravnavanem obdobju zvišale in dosegle višje ravni od cen industrije Unije v obdobju preiskave, medtem ko se je obseg uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 55 % (s 64843 ton na 29468 ton) [6].
When considering the import volumes from India, those increased by 19 % over the period considered from 37917 tonnes in 2013 to around 46004 tonnes in the investigation period.
Zato ta uvoz ni mogel povzročiti škode industriji Unije.
The Indian market share increased by 30 % from 6,5 % in 2013 to 8,5 % in the investigation period.
Komisija je tudi kumulativno analizirala uvoz iz držav razen LRK.
Over the period considered, the PRC gained market share partly from the Union industry and partly from third countries other than India, whilst it cannot be ruled out that India increased its market share also at least partly to the detriment of the Union industry.
Obseg uvoza se je zmanjšal za 27 %, povprečna cena pa se je zvišala za 39 % in je bila precej višja od cene uvoza iz LRK.
Moreover, import prices from India undercut Union industry prices during the investigation period at similar levels as Chinese import prices (from 40 % to 50 %).
Zato uvoz iz vseh držav razen LRK ni prekinil vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, ter ni mogel imeti več kot majhnega učinka na škodo.
Based on the volume in tonnes, the Chinese import prices were on average higher than Indian prices over the period considered.
Izvoz industrije Unije
However, this price difference is not indicative since the product mix differs between the Indian and Chinese exports.
Obseg izvoza treh vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju gibal na naslednji način:
Indeed, the Indian exports to the EU were mainly of grey iron while the Chinese exports were mainly of ductile iron.
Preglednica 14
Because of the relatively higher brittleness of grey iron, a higher volume of material is required for a grey iron product than for a product made of ductile iron to reach a comparable performance.
Izvoz vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije
Therefore products made of grey iron are heavier, resulting in a similar price level per piece of the product concerned.
Obseg izvoza (v tonah)
As Indian imports undercut Union industry prices, they have contributed to the material injury to the Union industry.
Povprečna cena (v EUR)
However, they have much lower volumes and market share (8,5 % market share in the investigation period, compared to 27,3 % for the PRC).
Po obsegu in vrednosti se je izvoz proizvajalcev Unije povezanim in nepovezanim strankam v obravnavanem obdobju povečal.
In particular, the level of imports during the investigation period from the PRC (147186 tonnes during the investigation period) is much more significant and more than three times higher than the level of Indian imports during the investigation period (46004 tonnes during the investigation period).
Povprečna cena izvoza nepovezanim strankam na enoto je še vedno veliko nad povprečno ceno uvoza iz LRK na enoto.
Consequently, the Indian imports did not break the causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry, and could not have had more than a marginal impact on the injury of the Union industry.
Izvoz industrije Unije zato ni prispeval k majhni dobičkonosnosti in nizki stopnji izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti industrije Unije.
An analysis of Eurostat data showed that import prices from other than countries India and the PRC increased over the period considered thereby reaching levels that are higher than Union industry prices during the investigation period whilst import volumes decreased by 55 % over the period considered (from 64843 tonnes to 29468 tonnes) [6].
Komisija je na podlagi tega sklenila, da izvoz industrije Unije ni prispeval k utrpeli škodi.
Therefore, these imports cannot have caused injury to the Union industry.
Združenje uvoznikov je trdilo, da je kakršna koli domnevna znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, večinoma posledica znatnega zmanjšanja izvoza Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
The Commission also analysed cumulatively imports from countries other than the PRC.
Komisija je opozorila, da združenje uvoznikov za obrazložitev uporablja Eurostatove podatke.
The volume of imports decreased by 27 %, the average price increased by 39 % and it was significantly higher than import prices from the PRC.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 36, ima zadevni izdelek v Eurostatu oznako ex, zato Eurostat ne zagotavlja podatkov do opredelitve zadevnega izdelka.
Consequently, the imports from all counties other the PRC did not break the causal link between the dumped imports from the PRC and the injury suffered by the Union industry, and could not have more than a marginal impact on injury.
Preverjeni podatki proizvajalcev Unije so pokazali povečanje obsega izvoza izdelka v preiskavi, kot je prikazano v preglednici 14 v uvodni izjavi 183.
Export performance of the Union industry
Združenje uvoznikov ni obrazložilo izpodbijanja preverjenih podatkov, ki so jih predložile vzorčene družbe, zato je bila trditev zavrnjena.
The volume of exports of the three sampled Union producers developed over the period considered as follows:
Upad povpraševanja
Table 14
Združenje uvoznikov je trdilo, da je škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povezana s trgi gradbeništva, stavb in nizkih gradenj, ki po gospodarski krizi še niso povsem okrevali.
Export performance of the sampled Union producers
Poleg tega so negotovi obeti, povezani z izstopom Združenega kraljestva iz Unije, povzročili težave industriji Unije.
Export volume (tonne)
Vendar združenje uvoznikov ni zagotovilo prepričljivih dokazov za te trditve.
Average price (EUR)
Poleg tega je indijska industrija trdila, da pritožniki na začetku niso predložili dokazov o neposredni povezavi med zaprtjem livarn proizvajalcev Unije Aco, Dois Portos in EJ Access Systems ter pritiskom domnevno dampinškega uvoza iz LRK in Indije.
In volume and value, exports of the Union producers to related and unrelated customers increased over the period considered.
Vendar so ta zaprtja sovpadala s povečanjem dampinškega uvoza iz LRK, izgubo tržnega deleža ter znižanjem cen in zmanjšanjem dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije.
The average unit price of exports to unrelated customers remains far above the average unit price of Chinese imports.
Komisija je opozorila, da se je potrošnja v Uniji v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 8 %, medtem ko se je prodaja industrije Unije zmanjšala za 11 %, kitajski dampinški uvoz pa povečal za 16 %.
The export sales of the Union industry therefore have not contributed to the weak profitability and low capacity utilisation of the Union industry.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da četudi bi upad povpraševanja v obdobju preiskave lahko vplival na škodo industrije Unije, ne bi mogel prekiniti vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom iz LRK in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the export performance of the Union industry did not contribute to the injury suffered.
Zato je Komisija te trditve zavrnila.
The association of importers argued that any alleged material injury suffered by the Union industry is mainly caused by a substantial decrease of Union exports over the period considered.
Konkurenca med proizvajalci Unije
The Commission noted that the association of importers uses Eurostat for its reasoning.
Združenje uvoznikov je trdilo, da je škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, povezana s konkurenco znotraj Unije, ki so jo pomenili proizvajalci s sedežem v vzhodnoevropskih državah članicah, kar je povzročilo škodo proizvajalcem s sedežem v zahodnoevropskih državah članicah.
As explained in recital 36, the product concerned is an ex code in Eurostat and therefore Eurostat does not give data up to the definition of the product concerned.
Pritožniki so nasprotovali navedenemu in trdili, da proizvajalci iz srednje in vzhodne Evrope niso bili tako zelo naravnani h konkurenci v zahodnoevropskih državah članicah, ker trg v teh državah članicah ni bil tako privlačen zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz LRK.
The verified data from the Union producers showed an increase in exported volume of the product under investigation, as shown in table 14 in recital 183.
Komisija je opozorila, da trgovina z izdelki iz litega železa znotraj Unije obstaja tudi med srednje-/vzhodno- in zahodnoevropskimi državami članicami.
The association of importers has not provided any reasoning to rebut the verified data as provided by the sampled companies and therefore the claim was rejected.
Trgovina znotraj Unije kaže stabilen trend v obravnavanem obdobju, zato ni mogla prispevati k škodi, utrpeli v obravnavanem obdobju.
Contraction in demand
Upravljanje industrije Unije
The association of importers argued that the injury suffered by the Union industry is related to the construction, buildings and civil engineering markets which have not yet fully recovered from the economic crisis.
Združenje uvoznikov je trdilo, da je mogoče slabši položaj industrije Unije pripisati neučinkovitim odločitvam vodstva ter pomanjkanju naložb v raziskave in razvoj.
Furthermore, the uncertain outlook of the withdrawal of the UK from the Union has created problems to the Union industry.
Vendar ni zagotovilo prepričljivih dokazov za te trditve.
However, the association of importers did not give conclusive evidence for these claims.
Zato jih je Komisija zavrnila.
In addition, the Indian industry argued that the complainants initially did not show evidence of a direct link between the closure of foundries of the Union producers Aco, Dois Portos and EJ Access Systems and pressure from allegedly dumped imports from the PRC and India.
Segmentacija na trgu Unije
However, these closures coincided with the increase in dumped imports from the PRC, the loss of market share and the decline in prices and profitability of the Union industry.
CCCME je trdila, da obstajajo znatne razlike v prodajanih vrstah izdelka, ki so odvisne od geografske lokacije držav članic ter so večinoma povezane z delitvijo na izdelke iz sivega železa in izdelke iz nodularnega železa.
The Commission noted that during the period considered, the consumption in the Union decreased by 8 %, whilst Union industry's sales declined by 11 % and Chinese dumped imports increased by 16 %.
Zdi se, da stranke po državah članicah dosledno uporabljajo eno od vrst izdelkov.
The Commission therefore concludes that, even if the contraction in demand could have had an effect on the injurious situation of the Union industry in the investigation period, it could not break the causal link between the Chinese dumped imports and the material injury suffered by the Union industry.
Industrija Unije je razdeljena na proizvodnjo sivega železa in nodularnega železa, pri čemer se iz LRK uvaža predvsem nodularno železo, iz Indije pa predvsem sivo železo.
Therefore, the Commission rejected these claims.
Na to vprašanje je opozorila tudi indijska industrija.
Competition between Union producers
CCCME je trdila, da škode, ki so jo utrpele države članice, ki prodajajo predvsem sivo železo, ni mogoče pripisati uvozu zadevnega izdelka iz LRK, saj si sivo železo in zadevni izdelek iz LRK ne konkurirata.
The association of importers argued that the injury suffered by the Union industry is related to intra-Union competition from producers based in Eastern Member States which has resulted in injury to producers based in Western Member States.
Komisija je opozorila, da je trg Unije enotni trg z vseevropskimi in nacionalnimi standardi, trgovino znotraj Unije in prodorom uvoza.
The complainants contradicted the above and argued that Central and Eastern European producers have not tended to compete very much in Western Member States, because the market in the Western Member States was not so attractive in view of the dumped imports from the PRC.
Čeprav se morda prednost daje izdelkom iz sivega ali nodularnega železa, prodaja in proizvodnja ne temeljita izključno na vrsti litega železa.
The Commission noted that there is intra-Union trade in cast iron articles, also between Central/Eastern and Western Member States.
Obe vrsti imata namreč enako končno uporabo in sta medsebojno zamenljivi.
The intra-Union trade shows a stable trend over the period considered and can therefore not have contributed to the injury suffered over the period considered.
Komisija je zato menila, da so izdelki iz sivega in nodularnega železa medsebojno zamenljivi.
Management of the Union industry
CCCME je nadalje trdila, da je del industrije Unije specializiran za proizvodnjo in prodajo nestandardnih izdelkov.
