Furthermore, the evidence on file pointed to the fact that the remedial effects of the measures in force were being undermined both in terms of quantity and price.
Poleg tega dokazi v spisu kažejo, da je bil popravljalni učinek veljavnih ukrepov oslabljen v smislu količine in cene.
The evidence showed that the increased imports of the slightly modified product were made at prices below the non-injurious price established in the original investigation.
Iz dokazov je razvidno, da je bil povečan uvoz nekoliko spremenjenega izdelka opravljen po cenah, ki so nižje od neškodljive cene, določene v prvotni preiskavi.
Finally, there was prima facie evidence that the slightly modified products were dumped in relation to the normal value established for the like product, i.e. the product produced by the Union industry which has the same technical and physical characteristics as the product concerned, during the original investigation.
Nazadnje so dokazi prima facie pokazali še, da so bile cene nekoliko preoblikovanih izdelkov dampinške v primerjavi z normalno vrednostjo, določeno v prvotni preiskavi za podoben izdelek, tj. izdelek, ki ga proizvaja industrija Unije ter ima enake tehnične in fizikalne lastnosti kot zadevni izdelek.
After having informed the Member States, the Commission determined that sufficient prima facie evidence existed for the initiation of an investigation pursuant to Article 13 of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je, potem ko je obvestila države članice, ugotovila, da obstajajo zadostni dokazi prima facie za začetek preiskave v skladu s členom 13 osnovne uredbe.
It thus initiated the present investigation by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/865 [4] (‘the initiating Regulation’).
Zato je z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2016/865 [4] („uredba o začetku preiskave“) začela sedanjo preiskavo.
Pursuant to Articles 13(3) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission, by the initiating Regulation, also directed the customs authorities to register imports of slightly modified product concerned from the PRC.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 13(3) in členom 14(5) osnovne uredbe z uredbo o začetku preiskave carinskim organom tudi naložila, da registrirajo uvoz nekoliko spremenjenega zadevnega izdelka iz LRK.
The Commission duly informed the authorities of the PRC, the exporting producers and traders in the PRC, the importers in the Union known to be concerned and the Union industry of the initiation of the investigation.
Komisija je o začetku preiskave ustrezno obvestila organe LRK, proizvajalce izvoznike in trgovce v LRK, uvoznike v Uniji, za katere je znano, da jih to zadeva, ter industrijo Unije.
All parties were informed that non-cooperation might lead to the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation and to findings being based on facts available.
Vse strani so bile obveščene, da se lahko v primeru nesodelovanja uporabi člen 18 osnovne uredbe in ugotovitve posledično oblikujejo na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev.
Five groups of companies from the PRC and 19 companies from the Union, including the Union industry and unrelated importers, made themselves known.
Javilo se je pet skupin družb iz LRK in 19 družb iz Unije, vključno z industrijo Unije in nepovezanimi uvozniki.
Five groups of companies from the PRC and five unrelated importers submitted a questionnaire reply and requested an exemption from the possible extended measures in accordance with Article 13(4) of the basic Regulation.
Pet skupin družb iz LRK in pet nepovezanih uvoznikov je predložilo izpolnjen vprašalnik in zahtevalo izvzetje iz morebitnih razširjenih ukrepov v skladu s členom 13(4) osnovne uredbe.
The following exporting producers submitted complete replies to the questionnaires and verification visits were subsequently carried out at their premises.

Družba Cellofix S.L. je podala stališča in zahtevala zaslišanje kot zainteresirana stranka.
The company Cellofix S.L. made submissions and requested a hearing as an interested party.
Zaslišanja so potekala med Komisijo in vložnikom ter med Komisijo in naslednjimi družbami: Cellofix S.L., Now Plastics Inc in Von Aschenbach & Voss GmbH.
Hearings took place between the Commission and the applicant, and between the Commission and the following companies: Cellofix S.L., Now Plastics Inc. and Von Aschenbach & Voss GmbH.
Po razkritju je bilo opravljeno še eno zaslišanje med Komisijo in vložnikom, po katerem je Komisija ponovno razkrila svojo namero o razširitvi ukrepov v okviru mehanizma postopka posebne rabe v skladu s členom 254 Uredbe (EU) št. 952/2013 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta [5] („carinski zakonik Unije“).
Following the disclosure another hearing between the Commission and the applicant took place, after which the Commission redisclosed its intention to extend the measures under the mechanism of end-use procedure in accordance with Article 254 of Regulation (EU) No 952/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council [5] (‘the Union Customs Code’).
Obdobje preiskave in obdobje poročanja
The investigation period covered the period from 1 April 2012 to 31 March 2016.
REZULTATI PREISKAVE
Data was collected for the investigation period as well as for all years since 2009 (when the measures in force were imposed) to investigate, inter alia, the alleged change in the pattern of trade.
Splošni premisleki
For the period 1 April 2015 to 31 March 2016 (‘the reporting period’) more detailed data were collected in order to examine the possible undermining of the remedial effect of the measures in force and existence of dumping.
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe je Komisija zaporedoma analizirala, ali se je vzorec trgovanja med tretjimi državami in Unijo spremenil; ali je do te spremembe prišlo zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero(-ega) razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali ki ni gospodarsko upravičena(-); ali so obstajali dokazi o škodi ali o tem, da je bil popravljalni učinek dajatve oslabljen v smislu cene in/ali količine podobnega izdelka; ter ali so obstajali dokazi o dampingu v zvezi z normalnimi vrednostmi, predhodno določenimi za podobni izdelek, po potrebi v skladu z določbami člena 2 osnovne uredbe.
RESULTS OF THE INVESTIGATION
Zadevni izdelek
General considerations
Izdelek, ki ga zadeva morebitno izogibanje, je izdelek, za katerega veljajo ukrepi iz uvodne izjave 1.
In accordance with Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation, the Commission analysed successively whether there was a change in the pattern of trade between third countries and the Union; whether this change stemmed from a practice, process or work for which there was insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty; whether there was evidence of injury or that the remedial effects of the duty were being undermined in terms of the prices and/or quantities of the like product; and whether there was evidence of dumping in relation to the normal values previously established for the like product, if necessary in accordance with the provisions of Article 2 of the basic Regulation.
Spada pod oznako KN ex76071119 (oznaka TARIC 7607111910).
Product concerned
Kot je bilo ugotovljeno v prvotni preiskavi, se ta posebna vrsta aluminijaste folije predeluje v potrošniški izdelek, gospodinjsko aluminijasto folijo („AHF“), ki se uporablja za embaliranje in druge gospodinjske namene.
The product concerned by the possible circumvention is the product subject to the measures in force, as described above in recital 1.
Izdelek v preiskavi
It falls within CN code ex76071119 (TARIC code 7607111910).
Izdelek v preiskavi glede izogibanja ima enake bistvene lastnosti kot zadevni izdelek.
As established by the original investigation this particular type of aluminium foil is transformed into a consumer product, household aluminium foil (‘AHF’) used for packing and other household application.
Vendar pa je lahko žarjen ali nežarjen.
Product under investigation
Izdelek v preiskavi je bil v začetni uredbi opredeljen, kot sledi:
The product under investigation for circumvention has the same essential characteristics as the product concerned.
aluminijaste folije debeline najmanj 0,007 mm in manj kot 0,008 mm, ne glede na širino zvitkov, žarjena ali nežarjena, ali
However, it can be annealed or not.
aluminijaste folije debeline najmanj 0,008 mm in največ 0,018 mm ter v zvitkih s širino več kot 650 mm, žarjena ali nežarjena, ali
The product under investigation was defined in the initiation Regulation as follows:
aluminijaste folije debeline več kot 0,018 mm in manj kot 0,021 mm, ne glede na širino zvitkov, žarjena ali nežarjena, ali
aluminium foil of a thickness of not less than 0,007 mm and less than 0,008 mm, regardless of the width of the rolls, whether or not annealed, or
aluminijasta folija debeline najmanj 0,021 mm in največ 0,045 mm, kadar je v najmanj dveh plasteh, ne glede na širino zvitkov, žarjena ali nežarjena.
aluminium foil of a thickness of not less than 0,008 mm and not more than 0,018 mm and in rolls of a width exceeding 650 mm, whether or not annealed, or
Prvi trije zgoraj opisani izdelki trenutno spadajo pod oznako KN ex76071119 (oznake TARIC 7607111930, 7607111940 in 7607111950).
aluminium foil of a thickness of more than 0,018 mm and less than 0,021 mm, regardless of the width of the rolls, whether or not annealed, or
Četrti zgoraj opisani izdelki spada pod oznako KN ex76071190 (oznaki TARIC 7607119045 in 7607119080).
aluminium foil of a thickness of not less than 0,021 mm and not more than 0,045 mm, when presented with at least two layers, regardless of the width of the rolls, whether or not annealed,
V prvotni preiskavi je Komisija ugotovila, da konverterska aluminijasta folija („ACF“) ni zadevni izdelek [6].
The first three products described above currently fall within CN code ex76071119 (TARIC codes 7607111930, 7607111940 and 7607111950).
Izdelka AHF in ACF imata različen namen uporabe.
The fourth product described above falls within CN code ex76071190 (TARIC codes 7607119045 and 7607119080).
ACF se uporablja v panogah konverterjev, ki folijo laminirajo, premazujejo, lakirajo in drugače obdelajo ter vključijo v izdelke, ki se uporabljajo na področjih, kot je embalaža za hrano, zdravila, kozmetiko in tobačne izdelke, ali v izolacijskih materialih za gradbeni sektor.
In the original investigation the Commission had established that aluminium converter foil (‘ACF’) was not the product concerned [6].
V zvezi z ACF je Komisija decembra 2014 začela protidampinško preiskavo [7].
The two products — AHF and ACF — have different use.
Vložnik je zahtevek umaknil in ukrepi za ACF niso bili uvedeni [8].
ACF is used by converter industries that laminate, coat, lacquer and otherwise process and integrate it into products that are used in fields such as packaging for food, medicine, cosmetics, and tobacco or in insulation materials for the construction sector.
Iz zgoraj navedenih razlogov je Komisija ugotovila, da je ACF primerno izključiti iz obsega te preiskave.
In December 2014 the Commission initiated an anti-dumping investigation on ACF [7].
Po razkritju je vložnik trdil, da sta ACF in AHF medsebojno zamenljivi.
The request was withdrawn by the applicant and the measures on ACF were not imposed [8].
Vendar je Komisija menila, da ta trditev ne postavlja pod vprašaj nesporne opredelitve zadevnega izdelka, ki je bila določena v prvotni preiskavi.
For the above mentioned reasons the Commission found it appropriate to exclude ACF from the scope of this investigation.
V preiskavi pa je Komisija ugotovila, da opredelitev izdelka v preiskavi obsega ne le nekoliko spremenjeni zadevni izdelek, ampak bi lahko vključevala tudi ACF.
After disclosure, the applicant argued that the ACF and AHF were interchangeable.
V obdobju poročanja je v Unijo izvažalo pet sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ACF (glej uvodno izjavo 74).
The Commission considered however that this argument did not put into question the uncontested definition of the product concerned established in the original investigation.
Zato je bilo sklenjeno, da se pri načrtovanju ukrepov upošteva končna uporaba (glej uvodne izjave 58 do 69).
In the investigation the Commission found however that the definition of the product under investigation comprised not only the slightly modified product concerned but could also include ACF.
Po razkritju je eden od nesodelujočih uvoznikov trdil, da bi morala Komisija upoštevati njegov predlog o izključitvi nežarjenih zvitkov jumbo iz obsega preiskave.
The five cooperating exporting producers exported ACF to the Union during the reporting period (see recital 74 below).
Ker družba ni sodelovala v preiskavi, Komisija ni mogla preveriti te trditve.
It was thus decided to take account of the end use when designing the measures (see recitals 58 to 69).
Na podlagi nobenih razpoložljivih dejstev ni bilo mogoče sklepati, da bi bilo treba nežarjene zvitke jumbo izključiti iz obsega te preiskave.
Following the disclosure one of the non-cooperating importers claimed that the Commission should have taken into consideration its suggestion to exclude non-annealed jumbo reels from the scope of the investigation.
Zato je Komisija to trditev zavrnila.
Since the company did not cooperate with the investigation, the Commission was not able to verify this claim.
Stopnja sodelovanja
No facts available lead to the conclusion that non-annealed jumbo reels should be excluded from the scope of this investigation.
Raven sodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK je bila nizka, saj se je javilo in zaprosilo za izvzetje iz morebitne razširitve veljavnih ukrepov le pet skupin kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki predstavljajo približno 22 % kitajskega izvoza v Unijo v obdobju poročanja.
Therefore the Commission rejected this claim
Izvoz nesodelujočih izvoznikov je bil ocenjen na približno 78 % celotnega kitajskega izvoza v Unijo v istem obdobju.
Degree of cooperation
Za ta izvoz je Komisija zato v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe uporabila najboljša razpoložljiva dejstva.
There was a low level of cooperation by exporting producers in the PRC; only five groups of Chinese exporting producers came forward and requested an exemption from any possible extension of the measures in force representing around 22 % of the Chinese exports to the Union during the reporting period.
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja
The exports of non-cooperating exporters were estimated at around 78 % of the total Chinese exports to the Union during the same period.
Za ugotovitev spremembe vzorca trgovanja je Komisija analizirala obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka in obseg uvoza nekoliko spremenjenega zadevnega izdelka v obdobju od uvedbe prvotnih ukrepov (2009) do septembra 2016.
Hence, for those exports the Commission used best facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je v obdobju poročanja 80 % celotnega obsega uvoza izdelka v preiskavi iz LRK zajemal nekoliko spremenjeni izdelek [9].
Change in the pattern of trade
Navedeno razmerje je bilo nato ekstrapolirano za zadevna leta od leta 2009.
In order to establish the change in the pattern of trade the Commission analysed the volume of imports of the product concerned and the volume of imports of the slightly modified product concerned for the period between the imposition of the original measures (2009) until September 2016.
Obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka je bil določen na podlagi podatkov Eurostata za obdobje med letom 2009 in obdobjem poročanja.
The investigation found that 80 % of the total volume of imports of the product under investigation originating in the PRC was the slightly modified product concerned for the reporting period [9].
Preglednica v nadaljevanju vsebuje zbrane informacije.
This ratio was then extrapolated for the years concerned since 2009.
Preglednica 1
The volume of imports of the product concerned was established on the basis of Eurostat for the period between 2009 and reporting period.

Nekoliko spremenjeni izdelek
IP of the original investigation
Celotni obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK se je zmanjšal s 30318 ton med OP prvotne preiskave (od julija 2007 do junija 2008) na 1152 ton v obdobju poročanja te preiskave.
July 2007 to June 2008
V nasprotju s tem se je uvoz nekoliko spremenjenega zadevnega izdelka povečal z 11393 ton v letu 2009 na 44522 ton v obdobju poročanja te preiskave.
Slightly modified product
Povečanje uvoza nekoliko spremenjenega zadevnega izdelka in hkratno prenehanje uvoza zadevnega izdelka po uvedbi ukrepov pomenita znatno spremembo vzorca trgovanja, kot je določeno v členu 13(1) osnovne uredbe.
The total volume of imports of the product concerned from the PRC fell from 30318 tonnes during IP of the original investigation (July 2007 to June 2008) to 1152 tonnes during the reporting period of this investigation.
Po razkritju je eden od nesodelujočih uvoznikov trdil, da je Komisija uporabila napačno metodologijo za določitev spremembe vzorca trgovanja.
In contrast, imports of the slightly modified product concerned increased from 11393 tonnes in 2009 to 44522 tonnes during the reporting period of this investigation.
Natančneje, ugovarjal je predpostavki, da prodaja nesodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v obdobju poročanja ustreza prodaji nekoliko spremenjenega izdelka.
The increase of imports of the slightly modified product concerned as well as the parallel disappearance of imports of the product concerned since imposition of measures, constitute a significant change in the pattern of trade, as required by Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je ponovno poudarila, da se je pri določitvi obsega uvoza nekoliko spremenjenega izdelka oprla na razpoložljiva dejstva.
After disclosure one of the non-cooperating importers claimed that the Commission used an erroneous methodology to determine the change in the pattern of trade.
Glede na zelo nizko raven sodelovanja, glede na informacije iz zahtevka in ker ni bilo drugih nasprotnih informacij, je Komisija lahko razumno sklepala, da so nesodelujoče družbe izvažale nekoliko spremenjeni izdelek.
More specifically, it questioned the assumption that sales of non-cooperating exporting producers during the reporting period were sales of the slightly modified product.
Zato je bila metodologija, uporabljena za ugotovitev spremembe v vzorcu trgovanja, potrjena.
The Commission reiterated that it based itself on the facts available when establishing the volume of imports of the slightly modified product.
Obstoj praks izogibanja
Given the very low level of cooperation, in light of the information contained in the request and in absence of any other information to the contrary, the Commission could reasonably conclude that the non-cooperating companies were exporting the slightly modified product.
V skladu s členom 13(1) osnovne uredbe mora do spremembe vzorca trgovanja priti zaradi prakse, postopka ali dejavnosti, za katero(-ega) razen uvedbe dajatve ni zadostnega vzroka ali ki ni gospodarsko upravičena(-);.
Therefore the methodology used to establish the change in the pattern of trade was confirmed.
Praksa, postopek ali dejavnost med drugim vključuje rahlo spremembo zadevnega izdelka.
Existence of circumvention practices
Analizirane so bile dejavnosti sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation requires that the change in the pattern of trade stems from a practice, process or work for which there is insufficient due cause or economic justification other than the imposition of the duty.
Ta analiza je potrdila obstoj štirih praks izogibanja.
The practice, process or work includes, inter alia, the slight modification of the product concerned.
Dokazi za štiri prakse izogibanja so e-poštna sporočila, v katerih kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki strankam svetujejo, kako se je mogoče izogniti sedanjim ukrepom.
The activities of the cooperating exporting producers were analysed.
Različni dokazi prav tako vsebujejo informacije, da so nekateri uvozniki/uporabniki v Uniji takšne prakse dejansko uporabili.
This analysis confirmed the existence of the four circumvention practices.
Komisija je dodatne dokaze našla tudi pri preverjanju enega od sodelujočih kitajskih proizvajalcev, in sicer družbe Dingsheng Aluminium Group.
For the four circumvention practices, evidence took form of emails from the Chinese exporting producers advising customers on how the current measures could be circumvented.
V obdobju po uvedbi dajatev leta 2009 je družba Dingsheng Aluminium Group v Unijo izvažala AHF, ki so bile tanjše od zadevnega izdelka, tj. AHF z debelino manj kot 0,008 mm in ne manj kot 0,007 mm.
The different pieces of evidence also contained information that such practices have been actually put in place by some of the Union importers/users.
Isti proizvajalec izvoznik je v Unijo izvažal tudi AHF, ki so bile debelejše od zadevnega izdelka, tj. AHF z debelino več kot 0,018 mm in manj kot 0,021 mm.
The Commission also found supporting evidence when verifying one of the cooperating Chinese producers, namely Dingsheng Aluminium Group.
Obstoj takšne prakse je bil potrjen tudi z dokazi v obliki e-poštnih sporočil drugih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
In the period since the imposition of the duties in 2009, Dingsheng Aluminium Group exported to the Union AHF thinner than the product concerned, i.e. AHF having the thickness less than 0,008 mm and not less than 0,007 mm.
Poleg tega je družba Dingsheng Aluminium Group v istem obdobju v Unijo prodajala AHF v zvitkih, širših od 650 mm.
The same exporting producer also exported to the Union AHF thicker than the product concerned, i.e. AHF more than 0,018 mm and less than 0,021 mm.
Ti so bili nato v Uniji razrezani na manjše zvitke.
Evidence in form of emails from other exporting producers also confirmed that such a practice exists.
Pri preverjanju enega od sodelujočih uvoznikov je Komisija ugotovila, da ta uvoznik, in sicer družba Von Aschenbach & Voss GmbH, v Uniji širše zvitke reže na zvitke za potrošnike.
Furthermore, in the same period, Dingsheng Aluminium Group sold to the Union AHF in rolls wider that 650 mm.
V zvezi z uvozom v Unijo aluminijaste folije debeline med 0,021 mm in 0,045 mm v dveh plasteh je imela Komisija v spisu dokaze v obliki elektronskih sporočil, izmenjanih med kitajskimi proizvajalci izvozniki, vključno s skupino Dingsheng Aluminium Group, in proizvajalci Unije.
These rolls were subsequently slit in the Union into smaller rolls.
Komisija je ugotovila tudi, da imajo nekateri proizvajalci Unije v lasti stroje za razcepitev dvoplastne folije na standardno debelino, ki omogoča njeno uporabo kot AHF.
When verifying one of the cooperating importers, the Commission found that this importer, namely the company Von Aschenbach & Voss GmbH, slits in the Union wider rolls into consumer rolls.
Glede na ugotovitve v zvezi s sodelujočimi proizvajalci izvozniki in glede na razpoložljiva dejstva v zvezi z nesodelujočimi proizvajalci izvozniki se sklene, da na ravni države obstaja praksa izogibanja v smislu člena 13(1) osnovne uredbe za 80 % celotnega uvoza izdelka v preiskavi iz LRK.
