In view of the reduced duration of the countervailing measures on imports of the product under review, the Commission concentrated its analysis on the possible amendments to the policies, planning documents and legal/practical implementations that such amendments would induce.
Kitajska vlada je tudi navedla, da se poglavje 23, ki opredeljuje nastajajoče in strateške industrije, nikakor ne nanaša na solarno industrijo, in zanikala, da bi bile v okencu 8 istega poglavja omenjene fotonapetostne celice.
Following disclosure, the GOC indicated that the Commission had not acted with an appropriate degree of diligence to arrive at a reasoned conclusion on continued subsidisation as it had relied significantly on its findings of subsidisation in the original investigation which the GOC had contested during that investigation.
Poglavje 30 načrta navaja, da bo Kitajska še naprej spodbujala razvoj vetrne in fotovoltaične energije.
It also referred to the US — AD and CVD AB report (para.
Ob branju te trditve je mogoče sklepati, da podpora fotovoltaični energiji pomeni podporo fotonapetostni industriji.
354), according to which a mere reference to findings of an investigation will not suffice as a reasoned and adequate explanation.
To razlago potrjuje okence 8 (razvoj strateških nastajajočih industrij) v poglavju 23 (razvoj strateških nastajajočih industrij).
The comments raised by the GOC in the original investigation were analysed and addressed in the original Regulation and the conclusions drawn in the original investigation were not challenged in court [16].
To okence se nanaša na „prodore v ključnih tehnologijah, na primer fotovoltaiki naslednje generacije, in spodbujanje njihove uporabe v industriji“, kar pomeni jasno sklicevanje na surovine, potrebne za proizvodnjo energije.
In this context, the Commission fails to see on which grounds such findings cannot form part of the basis on which the Commission relied to draw its conclusions in the current investigation, provided that facts underlying those conclusions have not in the review investigation been found to be altered, as this means they were assessed anew.
Drugo tovrstno sklicevanje je mogoče najti v oddelku 1 istega poglavja: „Podpirali bomo razvoj informacijske tehnologije naslednje generacije, […] zelene in nizkoogljične tehnologije“.
Furthermore, as evidenced by the analysis of the information collected throughout the investigation and reflected in this Regulation, the Commission disagrees with the statement that the Commission relied significantly on conclusions drawn in the original investigation.
V zvezi s tem se zeleno tehnologijo na Kitajskem običajno povezuje s fotonapetostno industrijo.
In this regard, and in view of the partial application of Article 28 of the basic Regulation to the GOC, the Commission resorted to facts available, which, in certain instances, led to base its findings on the conclusions drawn in the original investigation.
Poleg tega, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 378 in 389, je fotonapetostna industrija v katalogu ključnih industrij, izdelkov in tehnologij uvrščena med spodbujane industrije, katerih razvoj država spodbuja.
The applicant alleged that the PRC continues to heavily subsidise its photovoltaic industry and referred to a number of policy and planning documents as well as legislation which are the basis for the State support to the industry.
Na tej podlagi je Komisija potrdila, da je fotonapetostna industrija vključene v ta strateški načrt.
The Commission reviewed and analysed the documents mentioned in the request as well as additional documents submitted by the GOC and the sampled exporting producers in the course of the investigation.
Kitajska vlada je v zvezi s 13. petletnim načrtom za fotonapetostno industrijo v svojem odgovoru z dne 22. julija 2016 navedla, da dokument še ni bil objavljen.
In the original investigation, it was established that the GOC had included the PV industry amongst ‘strategic’ industries in the 12th Five-year Plan [17].
Med preveritvenim obiskom, tj. manj kot 20 dni pozneje, kitajska vlada ni hotela predložiti takega strateškega dokumenta brez dodatnih dokazil.
The GOC had also issued a specific plan for the solar photovoltaic industry (subordinate to the main 12th Five-year Plan), i.e. the 12th Five-year Plan for the Solar Photovoltaic Industry.
V končni fazi se je kitajska vlada sklicevala, da je dejstvo, da ni 13. petletnega načrta za solarno industrijo, dodaten pokazatelj, da se te industrije ne spodbuja.
In this plan the GOC had expressed its support for ‘superior enterprises’ [18] and ‘key enterprises’ [19], committed itself to ‘promote the implementation of various photovoltaic support policies’ [20], and ‘formulate overall preparation of supporting policies on industry, finance, taxation …’ [21].
Vendar še vedno veljajo sklep št. 40 državnega sveta, sklep državnega sveta z dne 10. oktobra 2010 ter nacionalni okvir za srednje- in dolgoročni razvoj znanosti in tehnologije (2006–2020), ki podpirajo razvoj fotonapetostne industrije in spodbujajo različne načine finančne in fiskalne podpore tej industriji, kot je poudarjeno v uvodni izjavi 102 prvotne uredbe.
These plans covered the period 2011-2015 and thus also the review investigation period.
Prav tako še vedno velja zakon LRK o znanstvenem in tehnološkem napredku, ki navaja seznam ukrepov za podporo fotonapetostni industriji.
In March 2016, the 13th Five-Year plan was released, which covers the period 2016-2020.
Zato dejstvo, da ni posebnega 13. petletnega načrta za solarno industrijo, še ne pomeni prekinitve vladne podpore fotonapetostni industriji, saj vsi ostali vladni načrti, projekti in drugi dokumenti zadostujejo za podporo navedeni ugotovitvi.
In reaction to the second deficiency letter, the GOC only submitted the Chinese version, accompanied by an English translation of the table of contents.
V prvotni preiskavi [24] je bilo torej ugotovljeno, da je politika kitajske vlade zagotavljati preferenčna posojila fotonapetostnemu sektorju.
The 13th Five-Year plan includes the PV industry in this strategic plan [22].
Kitajska vlada med to preiskavo ni predložila nobenih dokazov, da se je to spremenilo.
The 13th Five-Year Plan's emphasis on technological breakthroughs extends to energy-related products and services, specifically including new generation photovoltaic cells.
Med preiskavo Komisija ni naletela na noben element, ki bi nasprotoval navedeni ugotovitvi, pač pa je našla dodatne dokaze v njeno korist.
Following disclosure the GOC claimed that it had provided the 13th Five-Year plan and that this document showed that the solar industry is not encouraged.
Poleg tega so poročila o kitajski denarni politiki, ki jih je izdala „skupina za analizo denarne politike Ljudske banke Kitajske“ (ang.
The English version of the 13th Five-Year plan was requested during the verification visit and included in the list of documents not provided.
Monetary Policy Analysis Group of the People's Bank of China), potrdila obstoj politike kitajske vlade, saj se je v celotnem OPP poročalo, da se bo „spodbujala vloga finančnega sektorja, da se zagotovijo boljše finančne storitve ter spodbudita reforma in razvoj železniške […] in drugih ključnih industrij“ [25], da se bo „okrepila podpora […] nastajajočim strateškim industrijam in drugim ključnim področjem nacionalnega gospodarstva“ [26], da bo „PBOC sledila strateškim ureditvam centralnega komiteja Komunistične partije in državnega sveta“ [27] in da se bodo „zagotavljale boljše finančne storitve za podporo strategiji na inovacijah temelječega razvoja, oblikovani bodo proizvodi financiranja, prilagojeni potrebam podjetij na področju tehnoloških inovacij, in spodbujale se bodo finančne institucije, da se okrepi podpora […] nastajajočim strateškim industrijam in drugim ključnim področjem“ [28], ali da se bodo „spodbujale finančne institucije, da se okrepi podpora strategiji preoblikovanja Kitajske iz proizvajalca količine v proizvajalca kakovosti, in sicer z zagotavljanjem dobrih finančnih storitev za strateško prilagoditev industrijske strukture, izgradnjo infrastrukture, ladjedelništvo, logistiko, energetiko, znanost in tehnologijo, kulturo ter druga ključna področja“ [29].
A printed sample of the English version was available to the GOC during the verification visit, which the GOC committed to submit once it could be made available to the Commission.
Med to preiskavo je bilo zgoraj navedeno potrjeno tudi z ugotovitvami v zvezi s tremi vzorčenimi proizvajalci izvozniki.
As evidenced by the website of the NDRC [23], the English version of such document was released on 7 December 2016 and was never provided to the Commission.
Na primer, v letnem poročilu za leto 2014, ki ga je eden od vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov predložil Komisiji za vrednostne papirje in borzo Združenih držav Amerike, je navedeno: „Kitajska razvojna banka in banka China Minsheng sta nam v preteklosti zagotavljali posojila za financiranje naših projektov sončne energije.
In the absence of any submission of a complete and official English version of the plan submitted by the GOC, the Commission had to rely on an internal translation of such document and confronted the GOC during the verification visit with the extracts referred to in recital 83.
Ker so ta posojila delno odvisna od vidikov politike, se lahko pogoji in razpoložljivost teh posojil spremenijo, če vlada spremeni svoje stališče glede solarne industrije.
Although the GOC indicated that these references set the direction for technological innovation, it did not deny the existence of such references.
Če od teh ali drugih bank ne moremo dobiti nadaljnjega financiranja po komercialno privlačnih pogojih, bomo morda imeli težave pri financiranju lastnih projektov.
Eventually, it should be noted that, in the absence of any complete English version of the Plan submitted by the GOC, the Commission relied on its internal English translation in the disclosure document (see footnote 22).
Ne moremo zagotoviti, da bomo uspešni pri iskanju dodatnih ustreznih virov financiranja v zahtevanih obdobjih ali na splošno oziroma pod pogoji ali s stroški, ki so za nas privlačni ali sprejemljivi, kar lahko oteži ali prepreči izvajanje naših načrtov glede rasti.“ [30]
The GOC further claimed that the extracts referred above at recitals 83 and 87 below relate to the development of domestic modern infrastructure networks, including the use/generation of solar power but not the production of material to generate it.
Po razkritju je kitajska vlada trdila, da fotonapetostna industrija ni vključena med ključne, strateške ali nastajajoče industrije, zato se zgoraj navedene politike ne nanašajo nanjo.
The GOC also indicated that Chapter 23, which outlines the emerging and strategic industries, does not refer at all to the solar industry and denied the existence of a reference to photovoltaic cells in Box 8 of the same Chapter.
V zvezi s tem je naveden sklic na uvodno izjavo 87, v kateri se ugotavlja, da fotonapetostna industrija velja za ključno/strateško industrijo.
Chapter 30 of the Plan states that ‘We will continue to give impetus to the development of wind and photovoltaic power’.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 333 in 400 prvotne uredbe in potrjeno v tej preiskavi, med drugim v uvodni izjavi 83, se fotonapetostna industrija obravnava kot ključna/strateška industrija, sklepne ugotovitve iz prvotne uredbe pa še vedno veljajo in se zato potrdijo.
A plain reading of this statement suggests that support for ‘photovoltaic power’ includes support for the Chinese PV industry.
Posamezne sheme
This interpretation is confirmed by Box 8 ‘Development of Strategic Emerging Industries’ in Chapter 23 ‘Develop Strategic Emerging Industries’.
Komisija je analizirala vse sheme subvencij, opredeljene v zahtevku za pregled, in kitajske organe pozvala, naj predložijo informacije o vseh drugih morebitnih povezanih shemah subvencij.
This Box refers to ‘Make breakthroughs in and promote the industrial application of key technologies such as next generation photovoltaics’ which is a clear reference to the material needed to generate energy.
Na podlagi informacij iz zahtevka za pregled je želela pridobiti informacije v zvezi z naslednjimi shemami, ki so domnevno vključevale dodeljevanje subvencij vladnega organa:
Another reference in this regard can be found in Section 1 of the same Chapter which reads: ‘We will support the development of next generation information technology, … green and low-carbon technology’.
preferenčne posojilne politike, kreditne linije, drugo financiranje, jamstva in zavarovanja:
In this regard, green technology is commonly associated in China with the PV industry.
Preferenčne posojilne politike
Furthermore, and as indicated in recitals 378 and 389, the PV industry is listed as an encouraged industry in the Catalogue of key industries, products and technologies the development of which is encouraged by the State.
Zagotavljanje kreditnih linij
On the basis of the above, the Commission confirmed that the PV industry is included in this strategic plan.
Subvencijski programi za izvozne kredite
As far as the specific 13th Five-year Plan for the Solar Photovoltaic Industry is concerned, the GOC indicated in its reply on 22 July 2016 that the document had not been published yet.
Izvozna jamstva in zavarovanja za zelene tehnologije
During the verification visit, i.e. less than 20 days later, the GOC pretended instead that it would not issue such a policy document, without providing any further evidence.
programi nepovratnih sredstev:
Eventually the GOC referred to the absence of 13th Five-Year plan for the solar industry as another indicator that such industry is not encouraged.
subvencije za razvoj programov za „znane blagovne znamke“, „znane kitajske blagovne znamke“, „sklad za razvoj izvoznih blagovnih znamk“ in podobnih programov,
However, the Decision 40 of the State Council, the State Council Decision of 10 October 2010 and the National Outline for the Medium and Long-term Science and Technology Development (2006-2020) which support the development of the PV industry and encourage financial and fiscal support to the PV industry in various ways, as outlined in recital 102 of the original Regulation, are still in force.
Demonstracijski program Golden Sun
Also the Law of the PRC on Scientific and Technological Progress which lists a number of measures for the support of the PV industry is still in force.
različna nepovratna sredstva;
Hence, even if no specific 13th Five-Year plan for the solar industry is issued, that does not constitute a termination of government support for the PV industry, as all the remaining government plans, projects and other documents suffice to support that conclusion.
programi neposrednih davčnih oprostitev in znižanja davkov:
In conclusion, the original investigation [24] had concluded that the GOC has a policy to provide preferential lending to the photovoltaic sector.
Program „dve leti brez, tri leta polovica“ za podjetja s tujimi naložbami („PTN“)
The GOC did not provide any evidence in the course of this investigation that this situation had changed.
Program „dve leti brez, tri leta polovica“ za visokotehnološka podjetja in podjetja z novo tehnologijo
The investigation did not bring to light any element contradicting the above finding, but produced fresh evidence confirming the earlier finding.
Davčna izravnava za raziskave in razvoj
In addition, the China Monetary Policy Reports issued by a State body, the ‘Monetary Policy Analysis Group of the People's Bank of China’ confirmed that the existence of GOC policy as they reported throughout the RIP that the ‘the role of the financial sector will be enhanced to provide better financial services and to promote the reform and development of the railway, …and other key industries’ [25], that ‘there will be enhanced support to ... the strategic emerging industries, and other key areas in the national economy’ [26], that the ‘PBOC will follow the strategic arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council’ [27], and that ‘Better financial services will be provided to support the strategy of innovation-driven development, financing products tailored to the needs of enterprises in technology innovation will be designed, and financial institutions will be encouraged to enhance support to … the strategic emerging industries, and other key areas.’ [28], or that ‘Financial institutions will be encouraged to enhance support to the strategy of transforming China from a manufacturer of quantity to a manufacturer of quality by providing good financial services for the strategic adjustment of the industrial structure, infrastructure construction, ship building, logistics, energy, science and technology, culture, and other key areas’ [29].
Znižanje davkov za visokotehnološka podjetja in podjetja z novo tehnologijo, ki sodelujejo pri določenih projektih
During this investigation, the above was also confirmed by findings made for the three sampled exporting producers.
Znižanje davka od dohodkov za PTN, ki kupujejo opremo, proizvedeno na Kitajskem
For example, the 2014 annual report submitted to the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) by one of the sampled exporting producers stated: ‘Historically, China Development Bank and China Minsheng Bank have provided us with loans for our solar power project financing.
Oprostitev plačila davka na dohodek od nekaterih dividend, premij in drugih kapitalskih naložb med družbami rezidentkami, ki izpolnjujejo pogoje
As these loans are driven, in part, by policy considerations, to the extent that the government changes their position on the solar industry, the terms and availability of these loans may change.
drugi davčni programi: preferenčne davčne politike v zahodnih regijah, mestne pristojbine za vzdrževanje in gradnjo ter dodatne dajatve za izobraževanje za podjetja s tujimi naložbami in davčne ugodnosti, ki so na voljo družbam, ki poslujejo z majhnim dobičkom;
If we cannot obtain funding on commercially attractive terms from these banks or other banks going forward, we may have difficulty funding our projects.
Programi posrednih davkov in uvoznih tarif
We cannot guarantee that we will be successful in locating additional suitable sources of financing in the time periods required or at all, or on terms or at costs that we find attractive or acceptable, which may make it difficult or impossible for us to execute our growth plans’ [30].
Oprostitve plačila DDV in znižanja tarifnih kvot za uporabo uvožene opreme in tehnologije;
Following disclosure, the GOC claimed that the PV industry is not included in key, strategic, or emerging industries and that the above mentioned policies do therefore not refer to it.
Vračilo DDV za PTN, ki kupijo opremo, proizvedeno na Kitajskem
In this regard, reference is made to recital 87 where it is concluded that the PV industry is considered a key/strategic industry.
Oprostitve plačila DDV za izdelke, ki jih prodajo PTN
As indicated in recitals 333 and 400 of the original Regulation and confirmed by this investigation in, inter alia, recital 83, the photovoltaic industry is regarded as a key/strategic industry and the conclusions established in the original Regulation remain valid and are therefore confirmed.
Zagotavljanje blaga in storitev s strani vlade za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo
Specific schemes
Zagotavljanje polisilicija s strani vlade za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo
The Commission analysed all subsidy schemes identified in the review request and asked the authorities of China to provide information on any other possible related subsidy schemes.
Zagotavljanje izdelkov in polizdelkov iz aluminija s strani vlade za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo
On the basis of the information contained in the review request, the Commission sought information related to the following schemes, which allegedly involved the granting of subsidies by the Governmental authority:
Zagotavljanje stekla s strani vlade za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo
Preferential policy loans, credit lines, other financing, guarantees and insurance
Zagotavljanje električne energije s strani vlade za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo
Preferential policy loans
Zagotavljanje vode s strani vlade za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo
Provision of credit lines
zagotavljanje zemljišč in pravic do uporabe zemljišč s strani vlade za manj kot ustrezno nadomestilo;
Export credit subsidy programmes
podpora združitvam in prestrukturiranju v fotonapetostnem sektorju.
Export Guarantees and Insurances for Green Technologies
Subvencioniranje uvoza v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom
Grant Programmes
Preferenčne posojilne politike, drugo financiranje, jamstva in zavarovanja
Subsidies for development of ‘Famous Brands’ and ‘Well-known Trademarks in China’, ‘Export Brand Development Fund’, and similar programmes
Uvod
The Golden Sun demonstration programme
Zahtevek je vseboval navedbe, da kitajska vlada še naprej subvencionira fotonapetostno industrijo prek preferenčnih posojilnih politik.
Various grants
Pravna podlaga
Direct Tax Exemption ad Reduction programmes
Pravna podlaga za preferenčna posojila je enaka kot v prvotni preiskavi: Zakon LRK o komercialnih bankah („zakon o bankah“), Splošna pravila o posojilih (ki jih izvaja Ljudska banka Kitajske) in Sklep št. 40 državnega sveta o razglasitvi in izvajanju začasnih določb o spodbujanju prilagajanja industrijske strukture.
The two free/three half programme for foreign invested enterprises (FIEs)
Te pravne določbe se izvajajo s sklepi državnih bank, ki so javni organi v smislu člena 2(b) osnovne uredbe v povezavi s členom 3(1)(a)(i) osnovne uredbe (glej naslednji oddelek), ali jim nalaga naloge in jih upravlja država v smislu prve alinee člena 3(1)(a)(iv) osnovne uredbe.
The two free/three half programme for New and High Technology Enterprises
Državne banke kot javni organi
Tax offset for research and development
Subvencije v obliki strateških posojil so odobrile banke v državni lasti.
Tax reduction for high and new-technology enterprises involved in designated projects
Zato je treba določiti, da so te banke javni organi.
Income tax reductions for FIEs purchasing Chinese-made equipment
Pritožbeni organ STO (DS 379, odstavek 318) za preskusni postopek za preverjanje, ali je podjetje v državni lasti javni organ, določa: „Pomembno je, ali je podjetje pooblaščeno za izvajanje vladnih funkcij, ne pa, kako je to doseženo.
Tax exemption on income from certain dividends, bonuses and other equity investments between qualified resident companies
Obstaja veliko različnih načinov, na katere vlada v ožjem smislu pooblasti subjekte.
Other tax programmes: Preferential Tax Policies in the Western Regions, City maintenance and Construction Taxes and education surcharges for Foreign Invested Enterprises and Tax Preference Available to Companies that Operate at a Small Profit
Zato so lahko relevantne različne vrste dokazov, da je bil določen subjekt pooblaščen.
Indirect Tax and Import Tariff Programmes
Dokazilo, da subjekt dejansko izvaja vladne funkcije, lahko služi kot dokaz, da ima pooblastilo vlade, zlasti kadar tak dokaz kaže na stalno in sistematično prakso.
VAT exemptions and import tariff rebates for the use of imported equipment and technology
Po našem mnenju lahko zato dokaz, da vlada izvaja smiseln nadzor nad subjektom in njegovim ravnanjem, v določenih okoliščinah dokazuje tudi, da ima zadevni subjekt pooblastilo vlade, na podlagi katerega izvaja vladne funkcije.
VAT rebates on FIE purchases of Chinese-made equipment
Treba pa je poudariti, da razen izrecnega pooblastila s pravnim instrumentom zgolj obstoj formalnih povezav med subjektom in vlado v ožjem smislu verjetno ne zadostuje za pooblastilo vlade.
VAT exemption for products sold by FIEs
Tako na primer zgolj dejstvo, da je vlada večinski delničar subjekta, ne pomeni, da izvaja smiseln nadzor nad ravnanjem tega subjekta, še manj pa, da ga je pooblastila za izvajanje vladnih funkcij.
Government provision of goods and services for less than adequate remuneration
Vendar je v nekaterih primerih, kadar dokazi kažejo, da so formalni indici vladnega nadzora večplastni, obstajajo pa tudi dokazi, da se je tak nadzor izvajal na smiseln način, na podlagi teh dokazov mogoče sklepati, da zadevni subjekt izvaja pooblastilo vlade.“
