natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The already low prices of Chinese imports decreased markedly during the period considered and this price decrease could not be fully explained by the trends in the raw material prices.
Komisija je skrbno proučila učinke vseh drugih znanih dejavnikov, ki bi lahko škodljivo vplivali na položaj industrije Unije.
The depressed prices had a direct negative impact on the Union industry's profitability and contributed to it becoming loss-making on the Union market.
Znano je, da so lahko nekateri dejavniki (zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije in izvoza industrije Unije) prispevali k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Based on the above the Commission maintains its conclusion that dumped imports have caused material injury to the Union industry within the meaning of Article 3(6) of the basic Regulation.
Njihov vpliv je bil po obsegu in/ali intenzivnosti omejen, zato niso prekinili vzorčne zveze med kitajskim dampinškim uvozom in utrpelo škodo.
The Commission carefully considered the effects of all other known factors that could have an adverse impact on the situation of the Union industry.
Sklep iz uvodnih izjav od 128 do 131 začasne uredbe se zato potrdi.
It is acknowledged that certain factors (decline in Union consumption and export performance of the Union industry) may have contributed to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
INTERES UNIJE
Their impact was limited in scope or in depth or both and therefore they did not break the causal link between the dumped Chinese imports and the injury suffered.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da bi bila uvedba ukrepov v nasprotju z interesom Unije, ker bi se s predlaganimi ukrepi kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom dejansko onemogočil dostop do trga Unije in bi uporabnikom ostal en sam vir dobave (tj. industrija Unije).
The conclusion reached in recitals (128) to (131) of the provisional Regulation is therefore confirmed.
Po navedbah zainteresirane strani to tudi pomeni, da bi industrija Unije z ukrepi prevzela prevladujoč položaj na trgu, ki bi ga lahko v celoti zlorabila.
UNION INTEREST
Strani so podvomile tudi o časovnem sovpadanju prodaje pritožnika in vložitvijo pritožbe.
One interested party claimed that imposition of measures would be against the Union interest as the proposed measures would effectively close the Union market from the Chinese exporting producers leaving users with a single source of supply (i.e. the Union industry).
Komisija se s to utemeljitvijo ne strinja.
According to the interested party, this also means that the measures would put the Union industry into a dominant market position which it will be fully able to take advantage of.
Poleg LRK je obsežna proizvodnja tudi na Japonskem.
Parties also questioned the coincidence in time between the sale of complainant and submission of complaint.
To pomeni, da so uporabnikom na voljo alternativni viri.
The Commission does not agree with this argumentation.
Kar je še pomembneje, trditev, da bi se s predlaganimi ukrepi zaprl trg kitajskim proizvajalcem, ni niti utemeljena niti podprta z ugotovitvami preiskave.
In addition to the PRC there is also considerable production in Japan.
Predlagane dajatve so bile izračunane na podlagi preverjenih podatkov vseh deležnikov, vključenih v to zadevo.
This means that there are alternative sources available to the users.
Glede na ravni cen iz obdobja preiskave se bo z dajatvami zgolj odpravil učinek nepoštenih in nevzdržnih poslovnih praks na raven cen Unije.
Even more importantly, the claim that the measures proposed would close the market from the Chinese producers is neither substantiated nor supported by the findings of the investigation.
Dejstvo, da je v Uniji en sam proizvajalec, ne pomeni, da je v prevladujočem položaju, in nič ne kaže na to, da bi tak položaj zlorabil, tudi če bi ga v prihodnosti pridobil, saj obstajajo še drugi viri dobave, kot sta LRK in Japonska.
The proposed duties were calculated based on the verified figures of all stakeholders involved in this case.
Pričakuje se, da bo lahko industrija Unije po uvedbi ukrepov povečala proizvodnjo in obseg prodaje na trgu, kjer vlada učinkovita konkurenca.
Based on the price levels observed during the investigation period, the duties will only remove the effect of unfair and unsustainable trade practices on the Union price level.
Cene kitajskih izvoznikov bi se morale povišati, industrija Unije pa bo razbremenjena trenutnega močnega cenovnega pritiska, ki ga izvajajo na trg Unije.
The fact that there is a single producer in the Union does not mean that it is in a dominant position and there is no indication that it would abuse it even if it obtained such a position in the future given the existence of alternative sources of supply such as the PRC and Japan.
Nazadnje, stranem ni uspelo dokazati, v kakšnem smislu naj bi časovno sovpadanje prodaje proizvodnih obratov Unije in vložitve pritožbe vplivalo na interes Unije.
It is expected that upon the imposition of measures the Union industry will be able to increase production and sales volume in a market governed by effective competition.
Komisija vsekakor meni, da to vprašanje ne vpliva na presojo interesa Unije.
The prices charged by Chinese exporters should increase and the Union industry will be relieved from the severe price pressure they currently exert on the Union market.
Te trditve se zato štejejo za neutemeljene.
Finally, the parties failed to demonstrate in what sense the coincidence in time between the sale of the Union production facilities and the submission of the complaint would impact the Union interest.
Po drugi strani velja poudariti, da je bilo v preiskavi ugotovljeno, da bo industrija Unije, če bo dovoljeno nadaljevati sedanje poslovne prakse, po vsej verjetnosti prisiljena povsem zapustiti trg, tako da bi uporabnikom ostala edina alternativa uvoz, kar zagotovo ni v interesu industrije Unije.
In any case, the Commission considers that this issue has no influence on the assessment of the Union interest.
Komisija meni, da je ohranitev proizvodnje v Uniji bistvenega pomena za konkurenčnost.
These claims are therefore considered unfounded.
Po dokončnem razkritju je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da lastnik glede na nizko transakcijsko vrednost prodaje industrije Unije ne bi mogel z gotovostjo zagotoviti prihodnosti za aspartam.
On the other hand, it is worthwhile to stress that the investigation found that if the current trade practices are allowed to continue the Union industry in all likelihood will be forced to quit the market altogether leaving users with the only alternative of importation which is certainly not in the Union industry interest.
Navedena trditev je popolnoma hipotetična.
The Commission considers that the maintenance of production in the Union is essential for competition purposes.
Komisija navaja, da se proizvodnja aspartama po spremembi lastništva nadaljuje.
Following the final disclosure, one interested party claimed that given the low transaction value of the sale of the Union industry, the owner could not ensure with certainty the future for aspartame.
Pazljivo je proučila interes vseh zainteresiranih strani in, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 144 začasne uredbe, sklenila, da je uvedba ukrepov upravičena in ni v nasprotju z interesi Unije kot celote.
That claim is purely speculative.
Drugih pripomb v zvezi z interesom Unije ni bilo, zato se ugotovitve in sklepi iz uvodnih izjav od 133 do 145 začasne uredbe ohranijo.
In any case, the Commission notes that production of aspartame has continued following the change of ownership.
DOKONČNI PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
The Commission carefully analysed the interest of all interested parties and as explained in recital (144) of the provisional Regulation, concluded that the imposition of measures is justified and is not against the interest of the Union as a whole.
Stopnja odprave škode (stopnja škode)
In the absence of other comments on the Union interest, the findings and conclusions reached in recitals (133) to (145) of the provisional Regulation are maintained.
Ena zainteresirana stran je od Komisije zahtevala, naj ločeno opredeli škodo, ki jo je povzročil dampinški uvoz, in škodo, ki jo je povzročil izvoz, ter za oba dejavnika izračuna ločeno stopnjo škode.
DEFINITIVE ANTI-DUMPING MEASURES
Ta zainteresirana stran je tudi zahtevala prilagoditev neškodljive cene, da se prepreči povišanje fiksnih stroškov zaradi zmanjšanja obsega proizvodnje.
Injury elimination level (injury margin)
Predlagala je, naj se uporabijo stroški, ki so bili v okviru najboljše izkoriščenosti proizvodne zmogljivosti industrije Unije zabeleženi v treh letih pred obdobjem preiskave.
One interested party requested the Commission to segregate the injury caused by the dumped imports and by the export performance and to calculate a separate injury margin for these two factors.
Nazadnje, ta zainteresirana stran je zahtevala tudi prilagoditev neškodljive cene, ki je bila domnevno višja zaradi nakupa surovin po transfernih cenah.
This party also requested that an adjustment were made to the non-injurious price to counter the increase in fixed costs due to the decline in production volume.
Kot je v zvezi s škodo in vzročno zvezo pojasnjeno v oddelkih 4 in 5 zgoraj, je Komisija ugotovila, da so pogoji za določitev škode in vzročne zveze, kot so določeni v členu od 3(1) do (7), izpolnjeni.
The party proposed to use the costs observed under the best production capacity utilisation of the Union industry in the three years prior to the investigation period.
Izračun ločenih stopenj škode za različne dejavnike, ki prispevajo k škodi, ni pravna zahteva in ni praksa Komisije.
Finally, this party also requested that an adjustment were made to the non-injurious price that was allegedly inflated by raw materials purchased on transfer prices.
Komisija je ustrezno opredelila učinke drugih dejavnikov, ki so prispevali k škodi, in jih ločila od učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
As explained in sections 4 and 5 above in relation to injury and causation, the Commission found that the conditions for determining injury and causation as stipulated in Articles 3(1) to 3(7) are met.
Ugotovila je, da se zaradi drugih dejavnikov ni prekinila vzročna zveza med dampinškim uvozom in škodo za industrijo Unije.
Calculation of separate injury margins for the different factors contributing to the injury is not a legal requirement and is not in the Commission's practice.
Dalje, neškodljiva cena se za obdobje preiskave določi na podlagi podatkov, ki se nanašajo na to obdobje, kar velja za vse parametre, vključno z izkoriščenostjo zmogljivosti.
The Commission duly distinguished and separated the effects of others factors contributing to the injury from the effects of the dumped imports.
Nazadnje, preiskava ni potrdila trditve, da je industrija Unije surovine kupovala po transfernih cenah od povezanih strank.
The Commission found that the other factors did not break the casual link between the dumped imports and the injury of the Union industry.
Nasprotno, preiskava je jasno pokazala (kot je bilo navedeno tudi v uvodni izjavi 125 začasne uredbe), da je industrija Unije v obravnavanem obdobju surovine kupovala po tržnih cenah.
Next, the non-injurious price is established for the investigation period on the basis of data related to the investigation period, this applies to all parameters, including capacity utilisation.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da bi morala Komisija proučiti, ali se je svetovni padec cen surovin kazal v padcu cen surovin za industrijo Unije.
Finally, the claim that raw materials were purchased on transfer prices from related parties by the Union industry were not confirmed by the investigation.
Trdila je, da bi bilo treba izračun škode ustrezno prilagoditi, če so cene surovin višje kot na mednarodnem trgu.
On the contrary, the investigation clearly established (as it was also mentioned in recital (125) of the provisional Regulation) that the Union industry purchased raw materials on market prices throughout the period considered.
Komisija v zvezi s tem opozarja, da je v uvodni izjavi 125 začasne uredbe ugotovila, da je industrija Unije surovine kupovala po običajnih tržnih pogojih, novi elementi, ki bi njeno ugotovitev postavljali pod vprašaj, pa niso bili predloženi.
One interested party claimed that the Commission should investigate whether the worldwide fall in raw material prices translated into a fall raw material prices for the Union industry.
Na podlagi zgornjih preudarkov se zahteve v zvezi s prilagoditvami neškodljive cene zavrnejo.
It claimed that if the raw prices are higher than on the international market the injury calculation should be adjusted accordingly.
Drugih pripomb v zvezi s stopnjo odprave škode ni bilo, zato se ohrani metodologija, uporabljena v začasni fazi, kot je pojasnjena v uvodnih izjavah od 147 do 152 začasne uredbe.
In this respect the Commission recalls that in recital (125) of the provisional Regulation it concluded that the Union industry purchased raw materials at arm's length basis and no new elements was brought that would question its conclusion.
Dokončni ukrepi
Based on the considerations above the requests regarding the adjustments to the non-injurious price are rejected.
Glede na sklepe v zvezi z dampingom, škodo, vzročno zvezo in interesom Unije ter v skladu s členom 9(4) osnovne uredbe bi bilo treba dokončne protidampinške ukrepe uvesti za uvoz aspartama s poreklom iz LRK.
In the absence of any other comments on the injury elimination level the methodology applied at provisional stage as explained in recitals (147) to (152) of the provisional Regulation is maintained.
V skladu s pravilom nižje dajatve bi bilo treba v tej zadevi ukrepe uvesti na ravni nižje od teh stopenj.
Definitive measures
Na podlagi navedenega bi morale biti stopnje dokončne protidampinške dajatve, izražene kot cena CIF meja Unije brez plačane carinske dajatve, naslednje:
In view of the conclusions reached with regard to dumping, injury, causation and Union interest, in accordance with Article 9(4) of the basic Regulation, definitive anti-dumping measures should be imposed on imports of aspartame originating in the PRC.
Stopnja dampinga (v %)
In accordance with the lesser duty rule in this case the measures should be imposed at the level of the lower of these margins.
Stopnja škode (v %)
On the basis of the above, the definitive anti-dumping duty rates, expressed on the CIF Union border price, customs duty unpaid, should be as follows:
Dokončna protidampinška dajatev (v %)
Dumping margin %
Stopnje protidampinških dajatev za posamezne družbe, navedene v tej uredbi, so bile določene na podlagi ugotovitev te preiskave.
Injury margin %
Zato so izražale stanje, v katerem so bile te družbe med to preiskavo.
Definitive anti-dumping duty %
Te stopnje dajatev (v nasprotju z dajatvijo na ravni države, ki se uporablja za „vse druge družbe“) veljajo izključno za uvoz zadevnega izdelka s poreklom iz zadevne države, ki so ga proizvedli navedeni pravni subjekti.
The individual company anti-dumping duty rates specified in this Regulation were established on the basis of the findings of this investigation.
Za uvoz zadevnega izdelka, ki ga proizvaja katera koli druga družba, ki ni posebej navedena v izvedbenem delu te uredbe, vključno s subjekti, povezanimi s tistimi, ki so izrecno navedeni, bi morala veljati stopnja dajatve, ki se uporablja za „vse druge družbe“.
Therefore, they reflected the situation found during this investigation with respect to these companies.
Zanje se ne smejo uporabljati nobene individualne stopnje protidampinške dajatve.
These duty rates (as opposed to the country-wide duty applicable to ‘all other companies’) are exclusively applicable to imports of the product concerned originating in the country concerned and produced by the named legal entities.
Družba lahko zaprosi za uporabo teh individualnih stopenj protidampinških dajatev, če naknadno spremeni ime svojega subjekta.
Imports of product concerned produced by any other company not specifically mentioned in the operative part of this Regulation, including entities related to those specifically mentioned, should be subject to the duty rate applicable to ‘all other companies’.
Zahtevek je treba nasloviti na Komisijo [9].
They should not be subject to any of the individual anti-dumping duty rates.
Zahtevek mora vsebovati vse ustrezne informacije, s katerimi je mogoče dokazati, da sprememba ne vpliva na upravičenost družbe do stopnje dajatve, ki se zanjo uporablja.
A company may request the application of these individual anti-dumping duty rates if it changes subsequently the name of its entity.
Če sprememba imena družbe ne vpliva na njeno upravičenost do uživanja koristi stopnje dajatve, ki se zanjo uporablja, se v Uradnem listu Evropske unije objavi obvestilo o spremembi imena.
The request must be addressed to the Commission [9].
Da se zagotovi ustrezno izvrševanje protidampinških dajatev, bi bilo treba protidampinško dajatev za vse druge družbe uporabljati ne le za nesodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike v tej preiskavi, temveč tudi za proizvajalce, ki v obdobju preiskave niso izvažali v Unijo.
The request must contain all the relevant information enabling to demonstrate that the change does not affect the right of the company to benefit from the duty rate which applies to it.
Zaveze
If the change of name of the company does not affect its right to benefit from the duty rate which applies to it, a notice informing about the change of name will be published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Po dokončnem razkritju je več proizvajalcev izvoznikov in kitajska gospodarska zbornica za mednarodno trgovino izrazilo interes za predložitev ponudb za cenovno zavezo ali ponudbe o skupni zavezi.
To ensure a proper enforcement of the anti-dumping duties, the anti-dumping duty for all other companies should apply not only to the non-cooperating exporting producers in this investigation, but also to the producers which did not have exports to the Union during the investigation period.
Vendar je samo ena družba predložila dovolj utemeljeno ponudbo o zavezi v roku, določenem v členu 8 osnovne uredbe.
Undertakings
Predlagano minimalno uvozno ceno sta sestavljala variabilni del, ki izraža gibanje cene glavne surovine (tj. L-fenilalanina), in fiksni del, ki izraža preostale stroške.
Following final disclosure, several exporting producers and the Chinese Chamber of International Commerce (CCOIC) expressed an interest in submitting price undertaking offers or a joint undertaking offer.
Komisija je ocenila ponudbo in opredelila več tveganj, značilnih za posamezni izdelek.
However, only one company submitted a sufficiently substantiated undertaking offer within the deadline set in the Article 8 of the basic Regulation.
Aspartam se prodaja velikim strankam, ki ga v velikih količinah kupujejo v Uniji in zunaj nje na podlagi globalnih pogodb.
The minimum import price proposed was composed of a variable element reflecting the price trend of the main raw material cost (i.e. L-Phenylalanine) and a fixed element reflecting the remaining costs.
Izvozniki bi lahko povišanje cen Unije izravnali z znižanjem svojih cen za tretje države.
The Commission assessed the offer and identified a number of product specific risks.
Zato bi taka izravnava izničila vsak popravljalni učinek.
Aspartame is sold to large customers who purchase it in significant quantities inside and outside the Union through global contracts.
To vprašanje je zlasti problematično v obravnavani zadevi, saj bi bilo izravnavo nemogoče (ali vsaj zelo težko) odkriti.
Exporters would be able to compensate the increase in the Union prices by lowering their prices to third countries.
Poleg tega cene surovin aspartama niso stabilne, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 110 začasne uredbe.
Hence, such compensation would nullify any remedial effect.
Cenovne zaveze niso učinkovita rešitev v zvezi z izdelki s spremenljivimi proizvodnimi stroški.
This issue is particularly acute in the present case, as it would be impossible (or at least very difficult) to detect the compensation.
V času zniževanja stroškov izvoznikom onemogočajo odzivanje na tržne sile.
Moreover, the prices of the raw materials of aspartame are volatile as explained in recital (110) of the provisional Regulation.
To nihanje je potrjeno, kot kažejo najnovejši statistični podatki o izvozu, v katerih je ugotovljeno stalno zniževanje kitajskih cen aspartama.
Price undertakings are not effective remedies as regards products with volatile cost of production.
Nazadnje, ker nobeni od družb ni bila odobrena TGO, Komisija ni mogla v celoti oceniti zanesljivosti računovodskih izkazov, ki so med drugim ključnega pomena za vzpostavitev odnosa zaupanja, na katerem temeljijo zaveze.
In times of decreasing costs, they prevent exporters from reacting to market forces.
Na podlagi navedenega je Komisija sklenila, da ponujenih zavez ni mogoče sprejeti.
This fluctuation is confirmed, as shown by the latest export statistics, where Chinese aspartame prices have been found steadily decreasing.
Dokončno pobiranje začasnih dajatev
Finally, as none of the companies was granted MET, the Commission could not fully assess the reliability of the accounts which, inter alia, is crucial for establishing a relationship of trust on which undertakings are based.
Ob upoštevanju ugotovljenih stopenj dampinga in ravni škode, povzročene industriji Unije, bi bilo treba dokončno pobrati zneske, zavarovane z začasno protidampinško dajatvijo, ki je bila uvedena z začasno uredbo.
On the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that undertaking offers could not be accepted.
Odbor, ustanovljen s členom 15(1) Uredbe (EU) 2016/1036, ni predložil mnenja –
Definitive collection of the provisional duties
SPREJELA NASLEDNJO UREDBO:
In view of the dumping margins found and given the level of the injury caused to the Union industry, the amounts secured by way of the provisional anti-dumping duty, imposed by the provisional Regulation, should be definitively collected.
