In addition to the questionnaires and visits described in recitals (16) and (17) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission sent additional questions to the complainant and to one Union producer in order to carry out the verifications concerning injury and causality identified in the provisional Regulation.
Poleg vprašalnikov in obiskov, opisanih v uvodnih izjavah 16 in 17 začasne uredbe, je Komisija pritožniku in enemu proizvajalcu Unije poslala dodatna vprašanja, da bi izvedla preveritve v zvezi s škodo in vzročnostjo, ugotovljenima v začasni uredbi.
Furthermore, one Chinese exporting producer received a questionnaire for individual examination.
Poleg tega je en kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik prejel vprašalnik za individualno preiskavo.

The association of Chinese exporting producers criticised the starting point of the period considered (2012), arguing that the year 2011 would have been a more appropriate starting point.
Združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je kritiziralo začetno točko obravnavanega obdobja (leto 2012), pri čemer je trdilo, da bi bilo leto 2011 ustreznejša začetna točka.
It argued that the imports from China to the EU of the product concerned decreased from 2011 (46657 tonnes) to 2012 (39195 tonnes).
Trdilo je, da se je uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz Kitajske v EU od leta 2011 (46657 ton) do leta 2012 zmanjšal (39195 ton).
As a result, 2012 as a base year shows increase of imports over the period considered (to 42539 tonnes), whereas 2011 as the base year would show a decrease of imports from China.
Zato leto 2012 kot izhodiščno leto kaže povečanje uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju (na 42539 ton), medtem ko bi leto 2011 kot izhodiščno leto pokazalo zmanjšanje uvoza iz Kitajske.
It requested further explanation on the choice of 2012.
Združenje je zahtevalo dodatno razlago o izbiri leta 2012.
The Commission noted that the period considered has been established in line with the standard practice.
Komisija je navedla, da je bilo obravnavano obdobje določeno v skladu z običajno prakso.
As explained in recital (18) of the provisional Regulation, the period considered covers three full calendar years preceding the investigation period.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 18 začasne uredbe, obravnavano obdobje zajema tri cela koledarska leta pred obdobjem preiskave.
There is no basis to select a different period.
Za izbiro drugačnega obdobja ni podlage.
The comment was therefore rejected.
Pripomba je bila zato zavrnjena.
In any event, the data collected from the interested parties only covered the period considered.
V vsakem primeru so podatki, zbrani od zainteresiranih strani, zajemali le obravnavano obdobje.
Hence the data on the import volumes from China since 2011 did not allow the Commission to draw conclusions on the overall development of the situation of the Union industry.
Po dokončnem razkritju sta en kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik in združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov navedla, da pojasnilo Komisije v uvodni izjavi 59 (ki ustreza uvodni izjavi 47 dokumenta o splošnem razkritju) glede razlik v obsegu izvoza ne temelji na dokazih.
Considering the trend of decreasing profitability since 2012, as described in recitals (91) and (92), the inclusion of the year 2011 in the period considered would have shown an even steeper negative development in the situation of the Union industry.
Komisija je pojasnila, da se uvodna izjava 59 ni nanašala na trditev glede vključitve leta 2011 v obdobje preiskave, ampak na pripombo druge zainteresirane strani, ki je trdila, da obstajajo neskladnosti v primerjavi s predhodno preiskavo istega izdelka.
Following definitive disclosure, one Chinese exporting producer and the association of Chinese exporting producers claimed that in recital (59) (corresponding to recital (47) of the General Disclosure Document) the Commission's explanation for the differences in export volumes was not based on any evidence.
Trditve združenja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v zvezi z obdobjem preiskave so bile obravnavane v uvodni izjavi 17.
The Commission clarified that the recital (59) did not concern the claim of the inclusion of the year 2011 the investigation period, but instead referred to a different comment from another interested party, who had claimed an inconsistency in comparison with an earlier investigation of the same product.
Drugih pripomb v zvezi z obdobjem preiskave ni bilo, zato je bila uvodna izjava 18 začasne uredbe potrjena.
The claims of the Chinese association of exporting producers concerning the investigation period were addressed in recital (17).
B. ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
In the absence of other comments concerning the investigation period, the recital (18) of the provisional Regulation was confirmed.
Eden od kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je trdil, da je obseg izdelka preširok, saj vključuje vrste izdelka iz legiranega jekla, katerih ustrezni stroški in cene znatno odstopajo od standardnega zadevnega izdelka.
B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Zahteval je, da se iz obsega izdelka izključijo vrste izdelka, izdelane iz legiranega in visokolegiranega jekla [3].
One Chinese exporting producer argued that the product scope was overly wide as it includes product types of alloy steel of which the respective costs and prices deviate significantly from the standard product concerned.
Združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je potrdilo, da so v obsegu izdelka združeni trije različni tržni segmenti, in sicer (a) nafta/plin, (b) elektrarne in (c) gradbeništvo, ter da bi bilo treba škodo oceniti ločeno za vsakega od teh segmentov.
It requested the exclusion of the product types made of alloy and high alloy steel [3] from the product scope.
Navedlo je, da mora izdelek, namenjen na posamezen tržni segment, izpolnjevati specifične industrijske standarde in se zato ne more uporabljati v drugem segmentu.
The association of Chinese exporting producers affirmed that the product scope brings together three different market segments: (a) oil/gas; (b) power plants; and (c) construction, and that injury should have been assessed separately for each of the segments.
V dokaz se je sklicevalo na prakso v Kanadi in Združenih državah Amerike, kjer se je v protidampinških preiskavah ločevalo med cevmi, proizvedenimi za sektor nafte/plina, in cevmi, proizvedenimi za druge sektorje.
It stated that the product destined for one market segment is required to comply with specific industrial standards and therefore cannot be used in another segment.
V zvezi z zadnjo trditvijo je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da je njen izvoz v Unijo povezan le s sektorjem gradbeništva.
As a proof of the latter, it referred to the practice in Canada and United States, where anti-dumping investigations had separated the pipes and tubes produced for the oil/gas sector from pipes and tubes produced for other sectors.
Glede prve trditve v zvezi z legiranim in visokolegiranim jeklom je Komisija navedla, da opredelitev zadevnega izdelka zajema veliko različnih vrst izdelka, ki imajo enake ali podobne osnovne tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti.
With respect to the latter claim, one interested party claimed that their exports to the Union were related only to the construction sector.
Komisija je upoštevala razlike med vrstami izdelka in zagotovila pošteno primerjavo.
As regards the first claim concerning alloy and high-alloy steel, the Commission noted that the definition of the product concerned covers a wide variety of product types which share the same or similar basic technical and physical characteristics.
Vsaki vrsti izdelka, ki jo proizvajajo in prodajajo kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, in vsaki vrsti izdelka, ki jo proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije, je bila dodeljena enotna kontrolna številka izdelka („PCN“).
The Commission took account of the differences among the product types and ensured a fair comparison.
PCN je bila odvisna od glavnih lastnosti izdelka, ki so bile v tem primeru vrsta izdelka, zunanji premer, debelina stene, poboljšanje, dolžina, skrajni del cevi in preskušanje.
A unique product control number (PCN) was allocated to each product type, produced and sold by the Chinese exporting producers and to each one produced and sold by the Union industry.
Tako so bile vrste izdelka, uvožene iz Kitajske, na podlagi PCN primerjane z izdelki, ki jih proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije ter imajo enake ali podobne lastnosti.
The PCN depended on the main characteristics of the product, in this case, product type, external diameter, wall thickness, quenching & tempering, length, tube extremity, and testing.
Zlasti na podlagi prve lastnosti (vrsta izdelka) se je ločevalo med nelegiranim, legiranim in visokolegiranim jeklom.
Therefore, the product types imported from China were compared on a PCN basis with the products produced and sold by the Union industry that have the same or similar characteristics.
Razlike v stroških in cenah, ki so izhajale iz legiranega in visokolegiranega jekla, so bile torej upoštevane pri primerjavah.
In particular, the first characteristic (product type) separated non-alloy, alloy, and high-alloy steels.
V skladu s sodno prakso [4] je treba pri določanju, ali sta si izdelka podobna tako, da sta del istega izdelka, oceniti, ali imata enake tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti, enake osnovne končne uporabe ter enako razmerje med ceno in kakovostjo.
Therefore the differences in costs and prices arising from alloy and high-alloy steel were taken into account in the comparisons.
V zvezi s tem bi bilo treba oceniti tudi zamenljivost in medsebojno konkurenčnost takih izdelkov.
According to case-law [4], when determining whether products are alike so that they form part of the same product, it needs to be assessed whether they share the same technical and physical characteristics, and have the same basic end-uses and the same price-quality ratio.
Preiskava je pokazala, da so vse vrste izdelka izdelane iz jekla, pri čemer so uporabljeni proizvodni postopki, potrebni za proizvodnjo brezšivnih cevi, zaradi česar se uporabljajo podobni stroji, proizvajalci pa lahko glede na povpraševanje menjajo med proizvodnjo različnih variant izdelka.
In that regard, the interchangeability of, and competition between, those products should also be assessed.
Zato proizvajalci konkurirajo za naročila, ki pokrivajo širok asortiment vrst izdelka, čeprav vse različne vrste izdelka niso neposredno zamenljive.
The investigation found that all the product types are made from steel, using manufacturing processes required to produce seamless pipes, thus using similar machines, such that producers can switch between different variants of the product, according to demand.
Poleg tega te vrste izdelka po podobni proizvodni metodi proizvajajo in prodajajo tako industrija Unije kot kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki.
Therefore, although all the different product types are not directly interchangeable, producers are competing for orders covering a broad range of product types.
Kar zadeva drugo trditev v zvezi s tržnimi segmenti, ta ne opredeljuje, na podlagi česa bi morale biti vrste izdelka enega ali drugega tržnega segmenta izključene iz obsega izdelka.
Moreover, these product types are produced and sold by both the Union industry and the Chinese exporting producers using a similar production method.
Prav tako ni pojasnjeno, zakaj bi morala biti za posamezne segmente izvedena ločena ocena škode.
As regards the second claim concerning market segments, the claim does not substantiate on which basis product types of one or the other market segment should be excluded from the product scope.
Opredelitev zadevnega izdelka, ki zajema brezšivne cevi z zunanjim premerom več kot 406,4 mm, ni bila izpodbijana niti po obvestilu o začetku niti v odgovorih na vprašalnik in na preveritvenih obiskih.
Nor is it explained why a separate injury assessment should be carried out by segment.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 24, PCN ne temelji na možni končni uporabi ali segmentu trga, ampak na osnovnih fizikalnih in tehničnih lastnostih.
The definition of the product concerned, covering seamless pipes and tubes with an external diameter exceeding 406,4 mm, was not contested neither after the Notice of initiation, nor in the questionnaire replies and the verification visits.
V vsakem primeru je preiskava pokazala, da kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki in proizvajalci Unije konkurirajo v vseh treh segmentih.
As explained in recital (24), the PCN is based on basic physical and technical characteristics, not on the potential final use or market segment.
Poleg tega so stopnje dajatve za vsakega posameznega kitajskega proizvajalca izvoznika izračunane na podlagi tehtanega povprečja za posamezne vrste izdelka.
In any case, the investigation has shown that both the Chinese exporting producers and the Union producers compete in all of the three segments.
Posledično bi vse dajatve, ki jih je treba plačati, ostale enake za dano mešanico izdelka.
Moreover, the duty rates for each individual Chinese exporting producer are calculated on the basis of a weighted average by product type.
Čeprav bi bile za nekatere vrste izdelka določene nižje stopnje, za druge pa višje, bi bila vsota vseh stopenj enaka tehtanemu povprečju vseh vrst izdelka.
As a result, the total duties to be paid would remain identical for a given product mix.
Po dokončnem razkritju sta eden od kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov in združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov še naprej oporekala obsegu izdelka.
While some product types would obtain lower margins and others higher margins, the sum of all the margins would be equal to the weighted average of all product types.
Trdila sta, da se zaradi različnih zahtev v smislu standardov, vsebnosti zlitine in končnih uporab izdelki za segment nafte in plina razlikujejo od izdelkov za druga dva segmenta ter niso zamenljivi z njimi.
Following definitive disclosure, one Chinese exporting producer and the association of Chinese exporting producers further contested the product scope.
Na podlagi PCN naj ne bi bile mogoče ustrezne primerjave med vrstami izdelka, saj že sam obseg izdelka ni bil pravilno opredeljen.
They argued that due to different requirements in terms of standards, alloy content, and end uses, the products for the oil and gas segment were different from and not interchangeable with the products for the two other segments.
Kar zadeva preusmerjanje osredotočenosti proizvajalcev med segmenti, sta trdila, da so bile torej težave v drugih dveh segmentih posledica tržnih sil in ne uvoza iz Kitajske.
The PCN was allegedly unable to allow for proper comparisons between product types, since the product scope itself was not properly defined.
Poleg tega sta trdila, da je bila preusmeritev osredotočenosti proizvajalcev Unije na druga dva segmenta poslovna strategija, ki je zaradi nižjih prodajnih cen v teh drugih dveh segmentih v primerjavi z izdelki za segment nafte in plina nujno pomenila tudi nižje prihodke.
As regards the producers shifting their focus between segments, they claimed that the difficulties in the two other segments were therefore the result of the market forces and not related to imports from China.
Komisija se je sklicevala na uvodno izjavo 24, v kateri je sklenila, da imajo vseeno nekatere različne vrste izdelka enake ali podobne osnovne tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti, čeprav predvsem zaradi različnih zahtev v smislu standardov in surovin niso neposredno zamenljive.
Moreover, they alleged that the Union producers' shifting of focus to other segments was a commercial strategy that necessarily implied reduced revenues, due to the lower sales prices in the other segments when compared with oil and gas products.
Kar zadeva preusmeritev osredotočenosti na druga dva segmenta, pripombe zainteresiranih strani niso izpodbijale dejstva, da lahko proizvajalci preusmerijo svojo osredotočenost z enega segmenta na drugega.
The Commission referred to recital (24) where it concluded that while some of the different product types were not directly interchangeable, notably due to the different requirements in terms of standards and raw materials, they nevertheless shared the same or similar basic technical and physical characteristics.
Pripombe so torej potrdile ugotovitve v uvodni izjavi 24, da izdelke za različne segmente proizvajajo isti proizvajalci s podobnimi stroji in da lahko proizvajalci menjajo med različnimi variantami izdelka.
As regards the shifting of the focus to other segments, the comments from the interested parties did not dispute the ability of the producers to shift their focus from one segment to the other.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da je bil obseg izdelka pravilen in da so bile torej mogoče primerjave med vrstami izdelka na podlagi PCN.
The comments thus confirmed the findings in recital (24) that the products for different segments were produced by the same producers, with similar machines, and that the producers can switch between different variants.
Tako je sklenila, da te trditve niso v nasprotju z ugotovitvami preiskave.
Therefore the Commission concluded that the product scope was correct, and hence comparisons between product types were possible on the basis of the PCN.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da imajo vse vrste zadevnega izdelka enake fizikalne in tehnične lastnosti.
It therefore concluded that these claims did not contradict the findings of the investigation.
Zato so bile zgornje trditve zavrnjene, ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 19 do 22 začasne uredbe pa so bile potrjene.
The Commission therefore concluded that all types of the product concerned share the same basic physical and technical characteristics.
C. DAMPING
As a consequence the above claims were rejected and the findings of the recitals (19) to (22) of the provisional Regulation were confirmed.
Primerljiva država
C. DUMPING
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 24 do 28 začasne uredbe, je bila Mehika izbrana kot ustrezna primerljiva država, da bi se določile normalne vrednosti za LRK v skladu s členom 2(7) osnovne uredbe.
Analogue country
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da bi se morala kot ustreznejša primerljiva država upoštevati Južna Koreja, ker so stroški proizvodnje in proizvodni proces korejskih jeklarn veliko bolj podobni stroškom in procesu kitajskih jeklarn.
As mentioned in recitals (24) to (28) of the provisional Regulation, Mexico was chosen as the appropriate analogue country for the purpose of establishing the normal values for the PRC in accordance with Article 2(7) of the basic Regulation.
Prav tako je bilo poudarjeno, da so med nekaterimi kitajskimi proizvajalci izvozniki in proizvajalcem iz primerljive države ali proizvajalci Unije velike razlike v smislu stroškov in tehnologije, uporabljene v proizvodnem procesu.
Following the imposition of provisional measures, one interested party claimed that South Korea should be considered a better analogue country since the cost of production and production process of Korean mills is much closer to the one of the Chinese mills.
Proizvodni proces kitajskih proizvajalcev naj bi bil naprednejši, pri čemer bi bilo treba za zagotovitev poštene primerjave izvesti nekatere prilagoditve.
It was also claimed that there are significant differences in terms of costs and technology used in the production process between some of the Chinese exporting producers and the analogue country producer or Union producers.
Opozoriti je treba, da zadevni izdelek predstavlja nišni trg, zato ga je sposobno proizvajati le sorazmerno majhno število proizvajalcev.
The production process of the Chinese is allegedly more advanced and certain adjustments should be made in order to guarantee a fair comparison.
Poleg tega je sodelovanje s proizvajalci iz primerljive države prostovoljno.
It should be noted that the product concerned constitutes a niche market and thus a relatively small number of producers are capable of producing it.
Čeprav je CISA menila, da bi bilo kot primerljivo državo ustrezneje izbrati Južno Korejo, ni predlagala specifičnega korejskega proizvajalca, ki bi bil pripravljen sodelovati.
Furthermore, the cooperation with the analogue country producers is voluntary.
Opozoriti je treba, da je Komisija v začasni fazi k sodelovanju pozvala 13 družb iz 8 držav.
Although CISA suggested that South Korea would be a more appropriate choice for analogue country, it did not propose a specific Korean producer willing to cooperate.
Čeprav je bila med temi družbami tudi družba iz Južne Koreje, se ta na poziv nikoli ni odzvala.
It is recalled here, that at the provisional stage the Commission requested cooperation from 13 companies in 8 countries.
Z iskanjem po internetu in pregledom spletnih mest 41 družb iz Južne Koreje, ki proizvajajo jeklene izdelke, je bilo ugotovljeno, da so le tri od njih proizvajale brezšivne cevi.
Even though a company in South Korea was among these companies, the specific company never replied to the request.
Dve od teh sta proizvajali cevi z majhnim premerom, kar ni zadevni izdelek, edini proizvajalec v Južni Koreji, ki je proizvajal zadevni izdelek, pa je uporabljal proizvodno tehnologijo, ki ni primerljiva s proizvodnimi tehnologijami, ki so jih večinoma uporabljali kitajski proizvajalci.
Based on searching the internet and consultation of the companies' websites of 41 producers of steel products in South Korea, it was found that only three of them produced seamless pipes and tubes.
Dokazi, ki so bili najdeni med preiskavo, kažejo, da Južna Koreja proizvaja predvsem brezšivne cevi z majhnim premerom, kar ni izdelek v preiskavi, ali uporablja proizvodno tehnologijo, ki ni primerljiva s proizvodno tehnologijo kitajskih proizvajalcev zadevnega izdelka.
Two of the latter produced small diameter pipes and tubes which is not the product concerned and the sole producer in South Korea that produced the product concerned, made use of a production technology that is not comparable to the production technologies that were mainly used by the Chinese producers.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da se Južna Koreja ne more obravnavati kot ustrezna primerljiva država.
The evidence found during the investigation indicates that South Korea was predominantly producing low diameter seamless pipes and tubes, which is not the product under investigation, or makes use of a production technology which is not comparable with that of the Chinese producers of the product concerned.
Poleg tega je proizvodni proces mehiškega proizvajalca eden od procesov, ki ga uporabljajo tudi kitajski proizvajalci, čeprav ti uporabljajo več različnih proizvodnih procesov.
Therefore, the Commission concluded that South Korea could not be considered as an adequate analogue country.
Sklep, da je Mehika ustrezna primerljiva država za to preiskavo, je bil še dodatno podprt z ugotovljenimi podobnostmi med proizvodnimi procesi v Mehiki in na Kitajskem.
In addition, although a variety of production processes exists among the Chinese producers, the production process of the Mexican producer is one of the processes used by the Chinese producers.
Zainteresirana stran ni predložila dovolj dokazov, da bi pojasnila in količinsko opredelila (v smislu stroškov) razlike med kitajsko domnevno napredno proizvodno tehnologijo in tehnologijo, ki se uporablja v Mehiki.
