In accordance with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission provisionally selected a sample of four groups of exporting producers on the basis of their declared volume of exports to the Union during the review investigation period and their production capacity which could reasonably be investigated within the time available.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 17(1) osnovne uredbe na podlagi navedenega obsega izvoza v Unijo v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom in proizvodne zmogljivosti začasno izbrala vzorec štirih skupin proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki jih je bilo mogoče ustrezno preiskati v razpoložljivem času.
Following the disclosure to interested parties of this provisional sample, the group of exporting producers with the largest production capacity withdrew its cooperation.
Po razkritju začasnega vzorca zainteresiranim stranem je skupina proizvajalcev izvoznikov z največjo proizvodno zmogljivostjo zavrnila sodelovanje.
Thus, the proposed sample was amended by adding the exporting producer with the second largest production capacity.
Predlagani vzorec je bil zato spremenjen tako, da je bil dodan proizvajalec izvoznik z drugo največjo proizvodno zmogljivostjo.
Following the disclosure of the amended sample to the interested parties, no comments were received.
Po razkritju spremenjenega vzorca zainteresiranim stranem Komisija ni prejela nobenih pripomb.
Therefore, the sampling proposal was confirmed in accordance with Article 17(2) of the basic Regulation.
Predlog vzorčenja je bil zato potrjen v skladu s členom 17(2) osnovne uredbe.
The four sampled groups of exporting producers had an annual production of 55 million m2 of the product concerned, representing around 34 % of the overall declared production and sales of all cooperating exporting producers or groups of exporting producers of the product concerned to the Union.
Štiri vzorčene skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov so letno proizvedle 55 milijonov m2 zadevnega izdelka, kar je predstavljalo približno 34 % celotne proizvodnje in prodaje zadevnega izdelka v Unijo, ki so jo prijavili vsi sodelujoči proizvajalci izvozniki ali skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
The four sampled groups covered around 8 % of the total Chinese exports to the Union according to Eurostat in the review investigation period.
Izvoz štirih vzorčenih skupin je po podatkih Eurostata predstavljal približno 8 % celotnega kitajskega izvoza v Unijo v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
In accordance with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected the sample on the basis of the largest representative volume of sales and production, taking into account geographical spread and also the high fragmentation of the ceramic tiles industry in line with the methodology detailed below in recitals (20) to (21).
V skladu s členom 17(1) osnovne uredbe je Komisija vzorec izbrala na podlagi največjega reprezentativnega obsega prodaje in proizvodnje, pri čemer je upoštevala geografsko razpršenost in veliko razdrobljenost industrije keramičnih ploščic, v skladu z metodologijo, opredeljeno v uvodnih izjavah 20 in 21.
In the original investigation the Commission concluded that the ceramic tiles sector is very fragmented.
Komisija je v prvotni preiskavi ugotovila, da je sektor keramičnih ploščic zelo razdrobljen.
Therefore, in order to ensure that the results of large companies did not dominate the injury analysis and to ensure that the situation of the small and medium-sized companies, collectively accounting for the largest share of the Union production, was adequately reflected, the Commission decided to establish three segments based on the volume of yearly production:
Da bi zagotovila, da v analizi škode ne bi prevladovali rezultati velikih družb in da bi se ustrezno upošteval položaj malih in srednjih družb, ki imajo skupno največji delež proizvodnje Unije, se je Komisija odločila, da bo določila tri segmente, ki temeljijo na obsegu letne proizvodnje:
Segment 1: large companies — production in excess of 10 million m2,
segment 1: velike družbe – proizvodnja presega 10 milijonov m2,
Segment 2: medium-sized companies — production between 5 and 10 million m2,
segment 2: srednje družbe – proizvodnja od 5 do 10 milijonov m2,
Segment 3: small companies — production below 5 million m2.
segment 3: male družbe – proizvodnja do 5 milijonov m2.
The Commission's investigation did not reveal any changes to the ceramic tiles market, which continues to be fragmented, and thus dominated by small Union producers as opposed to larger producers able to influence the market's direction.
Preiskava Komisije ni pokazala nobenih sprememb trga keramičnih ploščic, ki je še naprej razdrobljen, tako da na njem prevladujejo mali proizvajalci Unije, in ne veliki proizvajalci, ki lahko vplivajo na usmeritev trga.
Accordingly, the Commission considered that the high fragmentation of the ceramic tiles sector should also be taken into consideration in the current expiry review.
Komisija je zato menila, da bi bilo veliko razdrobljenost sektorja keramičnih ploščic treba upoštevati tudi v tem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepov.
It, therefore, decided to apply the same methodology for the selection of the sample as in the original investigation and considered that all segments, namely small, medium-sized and large companies should be represented in the sample.
Zato se je odločila, da bo uporabila enako metodologijo za izbiro vzorca kot v prvotni preiskavi, in menila, da morajo biti v vzorcu zastopani vsi segmenti, in sicer male, srednje in velike družbe.
The provisional sample consisted of nine Union producers.
Začasni vzorec je sestavljalo devet proizvajalcev Unije.
Companies from all of the three sectors were represented: Two companies were from the segment of large companies, three companies were from the segment of medium-sized companies and four companies were from the segment of small companies.
Da bi zajela različne razmere, ki se lahko pojavljajo v različnih državah članicah Unije, je Komisija pri izbiri vzorca upoštevala tudi geografsko razpršenost (glej uvodno izjavo 19).
The sampled companies were situated in Germany, Italy, Poland, Portugal and Spain.
Vzorec je tako zajel države članice, v katerih se ustvari približno 90 % proizvodnje.
In order to reflect different situations that can be encountered in the Union in the different Member States, when selecting the sample, the Commission also took into account the geographical spread (see recital (19)).
Metodologija, ki jo je uporabila Komisija, je tako zagotovila, da je bil vzorec reprezentativen za celotno proizvodnjo Unije in skladen s členom 17(1) osnovne uredbe.
The sample thus covered Member States where approximately 90 % of the production is situated.
Komisija je pozvala vse zainteresirane strani, naj predložijo pripombe v zvezi z začasnim vzorcem.
Thus the methodology applied by the Commission ensured that the sample was representative of the Union production as a whole and complied with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation.
Ker do izteka roka ni prejela nobenih pripomb, je začasni vzorec potrdila.
The Commission invited interested parties to comment on the provisional sample.
Vzorec je obveljal za reprezentativnega za industrijo Unije.
No comments were received within the deadline and the provisional sample was thus confirmed.
Dne 28. oktobra 2016, 11 dni po objavi končnega vzorca, je poljski proizvajalec, ki je bil eden od vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije, obvestil Komisijo, da ne bo več sodeloval v preiskavi.
The sample was considered representative of the Union industry.
Da to ne bi vplivalo na reprezentativnost vzorca, se je Komisija odločila, da bo družbo nadomestila z drugim proizvajalcem Unije iz istega tržnega segmenta, in o spremembi vzorca obvestila vse zainteresirane strani.
On 28 October 2016, 11 days after the announcement of the final sample, one of the sampled Union producers, the Polish producer, informed the Commission that it had decided to stop cooperating with the investigation.
Novi vzorec je zajel več kot 7,7 % celotne proizvodnje Unije.
In order not to impact the representativeness of the sample, the Commission decided to replace the company by another Union producer from the same market segment and informed all the interested parties of the change in the sample.
Novi vzorec je zajel države članice, v katerih se ustvari približno 80 % proizvodnje.
The new sample accounted for 7,7 % of the total Union production.
Nesodelujoča družba je bila nadomeščena z družbo iz istega tržnega segmenta z namenom, da bi zagotovili nadaljnjo reprezentativnost končnega vzorca za industrijo Unije, vendar je nepričakovano nesodelovanje prve družbe v vsakem primeru zmanjšalo reprezentativnost za celotno proizvodnjo Unije.
The new sample covered Member States where approximately 80 % of the production is situated.
Vzorčenje nepovezanih uvoznikov
The replacement of the non-cooperating company with a company from the same market segment was done to ensure that the final sample remained representative of the Union industry, even though the unexpected non-cooperation of the first company invariably reduced the representativeness of total Union production.
Da bi ugotovili, ali je vzorčenje potrebno, in v tem primeru izbrali vzorec, so bili vsi znani (skupno več kot tisoč) uvozniki/uporabniki pozvani, naj izpolnijo obrazec za vzorčenje, priložen k obvestilu o začetku.
Sampling of unrelated importers
Obrazec za vzorčenje je izpolnilo enajst družb.
To decide whether sampling was necessary and, if so, to select a sample, all known (in total more than 1000) importers/users were invited to fill in the sampling form attached to the Notice of Initiation.
Komisija se je odločila, da bo izbrala štiri družbe.
Eleven companies replied to the sampling form.
V skladu s členom 17(1) osnovne uredbe je Komisija izbrala vzorec nepovezanih uvoznikov na podlagi obsega uvoza, pri čemer je upoštevala geografsko razpršenost.
The Commission decided to select four companies.
Vzorčeni uvozniki so imeli sedež v Belgiji, na Danskem in v Nemčiji.
In accordance with Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission selected the sample of the unrelated importers on the basis of the size of the imports taking into accounts the geographical spread.
Uvoz vzorčenih nepovezanih uvoznikov je predstavljal približno 6,5 % celotnega uvoza iz LRK.
The sampled importers were situated in Belgium, Denmark and Germany.
Dne 30. novembra 2016 je eden od vzorčenih nepovezanih uvoznikov obvestil Komisijo, da ne želi več sodelovati v preiskavi.
The sampled unrelated importers accounted for around 6,5 % of total imports from the PRC.
Končni vzorec nepovezanih uvoznikov so tako sestavljali trije nepovezani uvozniki.
On 30 November 2016, one of the sampled unrelated importers informed the Commission that it decided to stop cooperating with the investigation.
Njihov uvoz je še vedno predstavljal približno 6 % celotnega uvoza iz LRK.
The final sample of the unrelated importers consisted therefore of three unrelated importers.
Končni vzorec je zato obveljal za reprezentativnega.
They still accounted for around 6 % of total imports from the PRC.
Vprašalniki in preveritveni obiski
The final sample was therefore considered representative.
Komisija je zbrala in preverila vse informacije, ki so bile po njenem mnenju potrebne za ugotavljanje verjetnosti nadaljevanja ali ponovnega pojava dampinga, verjetnosti ponovnega pojava škode in interesa Unije.
Questionnaires and verification visits
Komisija je vprašalnike poslala štirim vzorčenim kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom/skupinam proizvajalcev izvoznikov, dvema proizvajalcema iz primerljive države, devetim vzorčenim proizvajalcem Unije in štirim nepovezanim uvoznikom, ki so se javili pri vzorčenju.
The Commission sought and verified all the information deemed necessary for the purpose of determining the likelihood of continuation or recurrence of dumping, the likelihood of recurrence of injury and Union interest.
Po pošiljanju vprašalnika sta ena vzorčena skupina proizvajalcev izvoznikov in en vzorčeni nepovezani uvoznik preklicala sodelovanje (glej uvodno izjavo 17 oziroma 25).
The Commission sent questionnaires to the four sampled Chinese exporting producers/groups of exporting producers, the two producers in the analogue country, the nine sampled Union producers and the four unrelated importers that came forward in the sampling exercise.
V celoti izpolnjene vprašalnike so poslale tri vzorčene skupine proizvajalcev izvoznikov, dva proizvajalca iz primerljive države, devet vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije in trije nepovezani uvozniki.
Following sending the questionnaire, one sampled group of exporting producers and one sampled unrelated importer withdrew their cooperation (see recitals (17) and (25) respectively).
Komisija je opravila preverjanja v prostorih naslednjih družb:
Complete questionnaires replies were received from three sampled groups of exporting producers, two analogue country producers, the nine sampled Union producers and the three unrelated importers.

Komisija je 2. avgusta 2017 vsem zainteresiranim stranem razkrila bistvena dejstva in premisleke preiskave ter jih povabila, da do 3. septembra 2017 predložijo pisne pripombe in/ali zahtevajo zaslišanje s Komisijo in/ali pooblaščencem za zaslišanje v trgovskih postopkih.
Disclosure
Trije kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, en uvoznik Unije CCCMC in vložnik so predložili pripombe po razkritju, zaslišanje med službami Komisije in CCCMC pa je potekalo dne 22. septembra 2017.
On 2 August 2017, the Commission disclosed to all interested parties the essential facts and considerations of the investigation and invited them to submit written comments and/or to request a hearing with the Commission and/or the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings by 3 September 2017.
CCCMC je v pismih z dne 17. avgusta 2017 in 6. septembra 2017 od Komisije zahtevala, da poleg informacij v odprtem spisu, razkritih zainteresiranim stranem, zagotovi informacije o številnih elementih v zvezi z izračuni dampinga in škode.
Three Chinese exporting producers, the CCCMC one Union importer and the applicant submitted comments after the disclosure, and a hearing between the Commission services and the CCCMC took place on 22 September 2017.
CCCMC je trdila, da niti CCCMC niti kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso mogli v celoti uveljavljati svoje pravice do obrambe, ker Komisija ni zagotovila teh informacij.
By letters of 17 August 2017 and 6 September 2017, the CCCMC requested the Commission to provide information on a number of elements relating to dumping and injury calculations, in addition to the information contained in the open file and disclosed to the interested parties.
Komisija je posamično analizirala vsako informacijo, ki jo je zahtevala CCCMC.
The CCCMC claimed that because of the Commission's failure to provide this information, neither the CCCMC nor the Chinese exporting producers were in a position to fully exercise their rights of defence.
Vse informacije je v pismih z dne 25. avgusta 2017 in 20. septembra 2017 posredovala CCCMC ali neposredno kitajskim proizvajalcem izvoznikom, na primer seznam vrst izdelka, ki jih proizvaja industrija Unije, ali podrobnosti o prilagoditvah, ki se uporabljajo pri izračunih nelojalnega nižanja cen, z izjemo informacij, ki niso obstajale, niso bile del spisa oziroma so bile zaupne.
The Commission analysed individually each piece of information requested by the CCCMC.
Kadar informacije niso obstajale, niso bile del spisa oziroma so bile zaupne, je Komisija svojo zavrnitev ustrezno utemeljila.
It provided all the information by letters of 25 August 2017 and 20 September 2017 to CCCMC, or to the Chinese exporting producers directly, for example a list of product types produced by the Union industry or details on adjustments used for the undercutting calculations, with the exception of information which was not existent, not part of the file, or was confidential.
Zlasti Komisija ni izvedla splošnih skupnih izračunov nelojalnega nižanja cen in izračunov nelojalnega nižanja cen na kontrolno številko izdelka („PCN“ ali „vrsta izdelka“) (namesto na proizvajalca izvoznika).
Where information was not existent, not part of the file, or deemed confidential, the Commission appropriately reasoned its rejection.
Zato te informacije niso bile del spisa.
In particular, the Commission did not perform overall aggregated undercutting calculations and undercutting calculations per product control number (‘PCN’ or ‘product type’) (rather than per exporting producer).
Komisija je menila, da je imela CCCMC možnost uveljavljati svojo pravico do obrambe v zadostni meri brez dostopa do teh informacij.
Therefore this information was not part of the file.
Glede na zaupne informacije, kot so na primer cene in obseg prodaje industrije Unije na PCN, je Komisija opozorila, da je dolžna varovati takšne informacije v skladu s členom 19 osnovne uredbe.
The Commission was of the opinion that the CCCMC was able to exercise its rights of defence sufficiently without access to this information.
Poleg tega je Komisija menila, da so bile z odprtim spisom o zadevi vsem stranem, vključno s CCCMC, na voljo vse informacije, ki so ustrezne za predstavitev njihovih primerov in ki se uporabljajo pri preiskavi.
With respect to the confidential information, such as prices and volumes of sales by the Union industry per PCN for example, the Commission recalled that it was under obligation to protect such information under Article 19 of the basic Regulation.
Če so bile informacije zaupne, je odprti spis vseboval pomembne povzetke.
Furthermore the Commission considered that the open file of the case made available to parties, including to the CCCMC, contained all the information relevant for the presentation of their cases and used in the investigation.
Vse zainteresirane strani, vključno s CCCMC, so imele dostop do odprtega spisa in so si ga lahko ogledale.
If the information was deemed confidential, the open file contained meaningful summaries of it.
Komisija je tako povzela, da so vse strani, vključno s CCCMC, imele priložnost, da v celoti uveljavljajo svojo pravico do obrambe.
All the interested parties, including the CCCMC had access to the open file and could consult it.
Komisija je zato zahtevek zavrnila.
In sum, the Commission thus considered that all the parties, including the CCCMC, were given the opportunity to fully exercise their rights of defence.
B. ZADEVNI IZDELEK IN PODOBNI IZDELEK
The Commission therefore rejected the claim.
Zadevni izdelek
B. PRODUCT CONCERNED AND LIKE PRODUCT
Zadevni izdelek so glazirane in neglazirane keramične ploščice za tlakovanje in oblaganje; glazirane in neglazirane keramične kockice za mozaik in podobno, na podlagi ali brez podlage („zadevni izdelek“), ki se trenutno uvrščajo v oznako HS 6907.
Product concerned
Navedena oznaka HS je začela veljati dne 1. januarja 2017 in nadomešča oznake KN 69071000, 69079020, 69079080, 69081000, 69089011, 69089020, 69089031, 69089051, 69089091, 69089093 in 69089099 iz prvotne preiskave ter obvestila o začetku tega postopka.
The product concerned is glazed and unglazed ceramic flags and paving, hearth or wall tiles; glazed and unglazed ceramic mosaic cubes and the like, whether or not on a backing (‘the product concerned’), currently falling within HS code 6907.
Keramične ploščice se v glavnem uporabljajo v gradbeništvu za oblaganje sten in tal.
The above HS code is valid as of 1 January 2017 and replaces the CN codes 69071000, 69079020, 69079080, 69081000, 69089011, 69089020, 69089031, 69089051, 69089091, 69089093 and 69089099 mentioned in the original investigation and the Notice of Initiation of the current proceeding.
Podobni izdelek
Ceramic tiles are mainly used in the construction industry to cover walls and floors.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da imajo zadevni izdelek in keramične ploščice, ki se proizvajajo in prodajajo v LRK in na domačem trgu Združenih držav Amerike („ZDA“), ki so bile uporabljene kot primerljiva država, ter keramične ploščice, ki jih v Uniji proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije, enake osnovne fizikalne, kemične in tehnične lastnosti in uporabe.
Like product
Po razkritju je CCCMC Komisijo zaprosila, da zagotovi podrobnejši opis različnih vrst izdelka proizvajalcev Unije in proizvajalcev iz primerljive države, ki so bili vključeni v določeno kontrolno številko izdelka.
The product concerned and the ceramic tiles produced and sold in the PRC, on the domestic market of the United States of America (‘USA’), the analogue country, as well as ceramic tiles produced and sold in the Union by the Union industry were found to have the same basic physical, chemical and technical characteristics and uses.
Trdila je, da bi lahko obstajale razlike med vrsto izdelka, ki jo proizvaja industrija Unije, industrija primerljive države in kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, ki se niso odražale v PCN in s katerimi niso bili seznanjeni niti kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niti CCCMC.
Following the disclosure, the CCCMC requested the Commission to provide a more detailed description of the different product types of Union producers and the analogue country producers that were included in a particular product control number.
CCCMC je izpostavila argument v zvezi s primerjavo cen za namen dampinga in analize škode, pri čemer je trdila, da brez teh informacij ni mogla zahtevati prilagoditev, če je to upravičeno, in tako v celoti uveljavljati svoje pravice do obrambe (glej uvodne izjave 81 do 83 in 120 do 122).
It claimed that there could be differences between a product type produced by the Union industry, by the analogue country industry and by the Chinese exporting producers that were not reflected in the PCN and of that neither the Chinese exporting producers nor the CCCMC were aware.
Vendar pa, kot je Komisija CCCMC pojasnila v pismu z dne 20. septembra 2017, ni imela podrobnejših opisov različnih vrst izdelka znotraj določene PCN, prav tako pa ni imela razlogov za domnevo, da obstajajo razlike znotraj določene PCN.
The CCCMC raised the argument in relation to the price comparison for the purpose of both the dumping and the injury analysis, arguing that without the information, it was not in a position to request adjustments when warranted and, therefore, to fully exercise its rights of defence (see recitals (81) to (83) and (120) to (122)).
Kot je pojasnjeno tudi v uvodni izjavi 45 spodaj, se je štelo, da so lastnosti vsake PCN dovolj podrobne, da zajemajo vse razlike med različnimi vrstami izdelka.
However, as the Commission explained to the CCCMC in a letter of 20 September 2017, it did not dispose any more detailed descriptions of the different product types within a particular PCN nor had grounds to consider that any differences within a particular PCN existed.
CCCMC prav tako ni navedla nobenega argumenta, da je bil potreben podrobnejši opis ali razlikovanje.
