Fourth, the decrease in sales prices should be viewed in the context of a similar decrease in unit costs of production.
V zvezi s tem je OECD ocenila, da je celotna kitajska proizvodnja zmogljivost v jeklarstvu v letu 2014 znašala 1140 milijonov ton [69], dejanska kitajska proizvodnja pa je po izračunih znašala 822,8 milijona ton [70].
In addition, the GOC disagreed with the Commission's statement that the profitability developed negatively over the period considered because there was, in fact, an improvement of 2,5 % as compared to 2012.
Zato je razpoložljiva kitajska presežna zmogljivost proizvodnje surovega jekla za leto 2015 približno 350 milijonov ton, kot je razvidno iz naslednje preglednice.
Moreover, the data indicate that the cash flow of the Union industry remained positive over the whole period considered and the sampled Union producers could still make investments of around 250-330 million euro annually.

Fifth, a comparison of the facts of the present case with those of Case T-528/09 Hubei Xinyegang Steel v Council [57] would show that the facts in the latter case were much more indicative of a weak position of the Union industry.(465) The Commission rejected the above mentioned arguments by the GOC on the following grounds:
Dejanska proizvodnja podobnega izdelka v tretjih državah (v tisoč tonah)
First, concerning the arguments of the GOC on the data of production and production capacity, the Commission acknowledged as described in recital (461) above the fact that some macroeconomic indicators (such as the production volumes, the capacity utilisation rates due to the increase in the captive and free consumption) were still following a positive trend.
Država
Those trends, however, do not call into question the overall findings that the Union industry was in a weak situation at the end of the investigation period since other indicators showed a deterioration of the Union industry as described in recital (462).
Ocena zmogljivosti proizvodnje surovega jekla za leto 2015 [71]
Second, concerning the arguments of the GOC on the data of sales volumes and market shares, the Commission acknowledged in recital (436) above that the sales volume of the Union industry remained relatively stable.
Proizvodnja surovega jekla leta 2014
However, the Commission disagreed with the GOC that a decrease by nine percentage points in market share is not significant.
Proizvodnja surovega jekla leta 2015 [72]
Indeed, as explained in recital (437) above the Commission found that ‘the decrease of Union industry's market share exceeded significantly the slight increase in its sale on the Union market’.
Teoretična presežna zmogljivost leta 2015
The analysis is based on the entire Union industry, irrespective of whether they have complained or not.
Dejanska proizvodnja vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov leta 2014
The increases by non-complainant Union producers are marginal compared to the massive reductions of complainant Union producers.
Dejanska proizvodnja vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov leta 2015
Third, concerning the arguments of the GOC on employment and productivity, the Commission acknowledged in recital (442) above that the productivity of the Union's industry workforce, measured as output per person, increased much more (+ 7 %) than the increase in actual production.
Rusija
Moreover, even if the Commission would exclude the employees for the captive market segment, the indicator clearly shows the reduction in headcount of persons working in HRF over the period considered.
LRK
Fourth, regarding the arguments of the GOC on the decrease in sales prices and a similar decrease in unit costs of production, profitability, and cash flows, the Commission rejected them for the following reasons:
Ukrajina
Concerning the similar decrease in unit cost and sales price, the Commission acknowledged in Table 11 of recital (448) above that the evolution of the Union industry sales price is similar to the evolution of the unit cost of production.
Brazilija
Nevertheless, as mentioned in recital (449) above, the Commission also pointed to the fact that the sales prices have been on average lower than the unit cost of production, with the exception of 2014, where the market started picking up and where the market share of the Chinese imports was lower than in the investigation period.
Navedeni posodobljeni podatki o proizvodnji podobnega izdelka v letu 2015 kažejo, da zadevna država pomembno presega vse druge velike države izvoznice; iz navedenih posodobljenih podatkov o zmogljivostih za proizvodnjo surovega jekla v letu 2015 je še razvidno, da ima samo LRK tako velike presežne zmogljivosti proizvodnje surovega jekla (skoraj 350 milijonov ton leta 2015 v primerjavi s 317 milijoni ton leta 2014).
Moreover, as mentioned in recital (589) below, the cost of production within the Union industry decreased altogether by 25 % over the period considered, whereas the average Chinese import prices decreased by a higher percentage, i.e. by 33 % over the same period (see recital (517) below.
Zato je Komisija znova poudarila, da je presežna zmogljivost v proizvodnji jekla v LRK pomemben kazalnik obstoja grožnje neizogibne škode za industrijo Unije.
In addition, as mentioned in recital (590) below, the Union industry could have maintained its sales price levels so as to reap the benefits of a reduction in its costs.
Tako velike presežne zmogljivosti v proizvodnji jekla tudi niso skladne s povpraševanjem po podobnem izdelku v LRK ali drugih državah.
However, it was not capable of doing so because of the subsidised lower priced imports from China.
Po podatkih iz nedavne študije OECD se povpraševanje na svetovnih trgih dejansko zmanjšuje, povečuje pa se vrzel med zmogljivostjo in povpraševanjem [73].
Regarding the claim of the GOC that the profitability did not develop negatively over the period considered but even improved by 2,5 % during the investigation period as compared to 2012, the Commission disagreed with this argument for the following reasons.
Kitajski organi niso izpodbijali dejstva, da ima zadevna država ogromne presežne zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu.
The Commission referred to recital (544) below where it found that, even if the loss for the investigation period was – 0,8 %, the profitability of the sampled Union producers reached the unsustainable level of – 10 % in the fourth quarter of 2015, when Chinese price pressure was felt most.
Kitajski državni svet je 1. februarja 2016 izdal mnenje za jeklarsko industrijo za odpravo presežne zmogljivosti, v katerem je določen skupni kitajski pristop za odločnejše reševanje presežnih zmogljivosti v kitajski jeklarski industriji.
Concerning the positive cash flow, the Commission acknowledged this fact already in recital (461) above as part of those injury indicators which developed positively during the period considered.
Ukrepi bi med drugim obsegali zmanjšanje zmogljivosti proizvodnje surovega jekla za 100–150 milijonov ton v petih letih in strogo prepoved novih proizvodnih zmogljivosti.
Fifth, concerning the comparison of the present case with Case T-528/09 Hubei Xinyegang Steel v Council: here, the GOC claims that the facts allegedly showed that in the latter case there were much more elements indicative of a weak position of the Union industry.
Tudi kitajsko združenje železarjev in jeklarjev China Iron & Steel Association (CISA) je navedlo, da sta „v zadnjih nekaj letih […] kitajska vlada in kitajsko jeklarsko združenje sprejela učinkovite ukrepe […].
The Commission rejected this claim of GOC as follows: the Commission's assessment in the present case was in line with the quoted case-law.
Od leta 2011 Kitajska aktivno odstranjuje odvečne zmogljivosti in krepi ukrepe za varčevanje z energijo.“ [74] Poleg tega je Komisija prejela nepotrjene informacije, da je LRK domnevno začela zmanjševati svojo presežno zmogljivost.
By contrast with Council Regulation (EC) No 926/2009 [58], which was the regulation at issue in Case T-528/09 Hubei Xinyegang Steel v Council, it should be noted that:
V zvezi s tem je delegacija EU v Pekingu sporočila, da je namestnik direktorja kitajskega združenja železarjev in jeklarjev izjavil, da bo LRK leta 2016 verjetno zmanjšala presežne zmogljivosti v jeklarstvu za 70 milijonov ton (objava z dne 28. oktobra 2016).
first, every investigation that the Commission undertakes is fact-specific in its own right, including in relation to the product scope, the industry involved, and the injury indicators that require consideration;
Poleg tega sta tudi skupini Baosteel Group in Wuhan Steel Group napovedali, da sta za leto 2016 določeno ciljno zmanjšanje zmogljivosti dosegli že oktobra 2016 (objava z dne 24. oktobra 2016).
a threat of injury case is an even more complex endeavour in this regard.
Poleg tega je treba upoštevati nedavno poročilo OECD, v katerem je navedeno, da sta dva pomembna kitajska proizvajalca jekla opustila zmogljivosti v provincah Jilin in Anshan v skupnem obsegu 2,68 milijona ton [75].
So, while, already, a comparison between injury investigations of different products, industries, and periods of investigations is a difficult task, a comparison between threat of injury investigations is an extremely difficult and complex endeavour given the multitude of individual qualifying factors that flow into a threat of injury finding.
Vendar spremembe kažejo tudi v nasprotno smer, kot sledi:
That comparison cannot be pinned down to one factor alone, or for that matter, as the GOC seems to insinuate, to a mere import volume and market share comparison; and;
Kljub nekaterim njihovim napovedim to vprašanje v bližnji prihodnosti verjetno ne bo rešeno: kitajska presežna zmogljivost je tako velika, da je v kratko- ali srednjeročnem obdobju dejansko ni mogoče odpraviti.
third, the Commission analysed and assessed thoroughly post-IP data to the extent possible in order to confirm or invalidate its findings, as required by that judgment, and found that the Union industry was in a weak situation at the end of the investigation period, but not to the extent that it had suffered material injury during the period considered within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Po razkritju je kitajska vlada pripomnila, da je kitajsko združenje železarjev in jeklarjev (CISA) 21. marca 2016 navedlo, da je bilo od leta 2011 okrog 77,8 milijona ton zmogljivosti vzetih iz obratovanja in da so kitajski proizvajalci jekla prav tako ukrepali in med januarjem in oktobrom 2015 svojo proizvodnjo zmanjšali za več kot 15 milijonov ton.
As such, and in important contrast to the findings of Case T-528/09, the injury indicators considered do not paint a picture of an industry in a situation of strength, which the General Court found to be the case vis-à-vis the industry at issue therein.
Zato je sklepala, da se bodo kakršne koli presežne zmogljivosti proizvodnje vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla verjetno zmanjšale, ne pa močno povečale, za sklep o ugotovitvi grožnje škode pa je v skladu s pododstavkom 2(c) člena 8(8) osnovne uredbe potrebno močno povečanje zmogljivosti.
[59]In summary, the Commission is of the opinion that the GOC does not raise factors beyond those considered that would call the above findings into question: the GOC refers in its argumentation mainly to the indicators which were still positive at the end of the investigation period and which the Commission acknowledged in recital (461) above.
Komisija je ponovila svoje predhodne ugotovitve, tj. da kljub nekaterim napovedim kitajskih organov ni verjetno, da bi bil problem presežnih prihodnosti na Kitajskem rešen v bližnji prihodnosti.
However, the GOC does not provide explanation that would call into question, for instance, the findings in recital (462) above where the Commission listed the other indicators, which showed a deterioration of the situation on the free Union market.
Prosta zmogljivost je tako velika, da je v kratko- ali srednjeročnem obdobju dejansko ni mogoče odpraviti.
In recital (462) above, apart from referring to the loss of market share and the reduction of investments in the light of the negative return on investment, the Commission also highlighted that the losses reached unsustainable levels in the second half of 2015.
Poleg tega pododstavek 2(c) člena 8(8) osnovne uredbe kot pogoje za določitev grožnje škode navaja, da ima proizvajalec izvoznik dovolj prosto dostopnih zmogljivosti ali da gre za neizogibno in precejšnje povečanje takih zmogljivosti, ki nakazuje verjetnost močno povečanega subvencioniranega izvoza v Unijo.
Therefore the Commission rejected all arguments of the GOC in this respect.
Za podobni izdelek se ocenjuje, da pomeni velik delež skupne proizvodnje surovega jekla, iz naslednjega razloga: celotna kitajska proizvodnja surovega jekla je v letih 2013 in 2014 znašala 822000 milijonov ton oziroma 822698 milijonov ton, celotna kitajska proizvodnja vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov pa 311564 milijonov ton (ali približno 37,9 % celotne proizvodnje surovega jekla) oziroma 317387 milijonov ton (ali približno 38,6 % celotne proizvodnje surovega jekla) [81].
The Commission hence confirmed its conclusions set out in recitals (461) to (463) above, concluding that the data show that the Union industry was in a weak situation at the end of the investigation but not to the extent that the Union industry has suffered material injury during the period considered within the meaning of Article 8(4) of the basic Regulation.
Zato so navedeni podatki o surovem jeklu dober kazalnik tudi za presežne zmogljivosti podobnega izdelka v LRK.
THREAT OF INJURY
Po razkritju je kitajska vlada pripomnila, da se je Komisija opirala le na statistične podatke za leti 2013 in 2014 ter da ni predložila nobenih novejših podatkov.
Introduction
Zato je podvomila v zanesljivost ugotovitev Komisije o obsegu presežne zmogljivosti Kitajske za proizvodnjo vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov, saj te ugotovitve po njenem mnenju v veliki meri temeljijo na podatkih za surovo jeklo na splošno, ti pa niso nujno reprezentativni.
In the analysis of a threat of material injury to the Union industry, in accordance with Article 8(8), second subparagraph, of the basic Regulation, consideration is given below to such factors as:
Komisija je zavrnila to trditev iz naslednjih razlogov.
the nature of the subsidy or subsidies in question and the trade effects likely to arise therefrom;
Poleg tega niti kitajska vlada sama v svojih najnovejših pripombah ni predložila bolj posodobljenih podatkov o zmogljivostih in/ali dala druge kredibilne razlage, čeprav je bila za to v boljšem položaju od Komisije.
a significant rate of increase of subsidised imports into the Union market indicating the likelihood of substantially increased imports;
To kaže na ogromno proizvodno zmogljivost podobnega izdelka v LRK.
sufficient freely disposable capacity of the exporting producer on the part of the exporter or an imminent and substantial increase in such capacity indicating the likelihood of substantially increased subsidised exports to the Union, account being taken of the availability of other export markets to absorb any additional exports;
Preiskava je tudi potrdila, da so trije od štirih vzorčenih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov med obdobjem preiskave v povprečju izkoriščali 65 % zmogljivosti.
whether imports are entering at prices that would, to a significant degree, depress prices or prevent price increases which otherwise would have occurred, and would probably increase demand for further imports, and;
Stopnja izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti četrtega proizvajalca je bila več kot 80-odstotna.
the level of inventories.
Skupno je to več kot 15 milijonov metričnih ton prosto razpoložljivih zmogljivosti zadevnega izdelka v samo štirih družbah.
As the wording ‘such as’ in Article 8(8), second subparagraph of the basic Regulation, indicates, next to these five factors other factors may be analysed as well for the determination of a threat of injury.
To je še en kazalnik prostih zmogljivosti podobnega izdelka.
In particular, the Commission further analysed factors like profitability and order intakes, for which it had investigation period and post-investigation period data available.
Poleg tega je trg Unije odprt trg z veliko uvoza iz več držav, kot je prikazano v preglednici v uvodni izjavi (564).
With respect to the period considered, the Commission reviewed again the data collected for 2012-2015, as an understanding of the present situation of the Union industry is necessary in order to be able to determine whether there is a threat of injury to the Union industry [60].
Kot je prikazano v preglednici 4 v uvodni izjavi (419), kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki izvažajo na trg Unije predvsem od leta 2012 in hitro pridobivajo tržne deleže s poceni uvozom na račun drugih gospodarskih subjektov, vključno s proizvajalci Unije.
Moreover, under the case-law, the Union institutions are entitled, in certain circumstances, to take post-investigation period data into consideration when conducting anti-dumping (and consequently countervailing duty) investigations initiated on the basis of allegations of threat of injury.
To dokazuje, da je bil v obravnavanem obdobju prodor kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov na trg razmeroma preprost in zelo uspešen, kar kaže, da je trg Unije za kitajske in druge proizvajalce izvoznike zelo privlačen.
Indeed, the case-law considers that the determination of whether there is a threat of injury, by its very nature, requires a prospective analysis.
Absorpcijska sposobnost tretjih držav
The Commission thus conducted a prospective analysis for all factors.
Komisija je v skladu z drugim pododstavkom člena 8(8)(c) osnovne uredbe analizirala tudi dostopnost drugih izvoznih trgov, ki lahko absorbirajo morebitni dodatni izvoz kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
In addition, it was able to collect data on subsidised imports, Chinese capacity and import prices for the period January 2016-February 2017 in order to confirm or invalidate the forecasts, as required by the Court [61].
Kitajska vlada je v zvezi s tem navedla, da je kitajski izvoz v Vietnam in Južno Korejo približno dvakrat večji od obsega izvoza v Unijo, izvoz na Bližnji vzhod in v Pakistan pa približno enak kot obseg izvoza v Unijo.
For profitability and order intakes though, comprehensive data were not available for the period January-September 2016 and only partial data up to the end of June 2016.
Kljub temu je Komisija opozorila, da kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki na nekatere (večje) izvozne trge vedno težje dostopajo zaradi ukrepov trgovinske zaščite (države, kot so ZDA, Malezija, Indija in Mehika) in/ali preiskav (države, kot je Tajska) ali višjih carinskih dajatev (Južna Afrika).
Finally, Article 8(8) of the basic Regulation requires that the finding of a threat of material injury is to be based on facts and not merely allegation, conjecture or remote possibility and that the change in circumstances which would create a situation in which the subsidy would cause injury must be clearly foreseen and imminent.
je po eni strani Malezija januarja 2016 končala preiskavo v zvezi z zaščitnimi ukrepi za vroče valjane kolobarje zoper Kitajsko in nekatere druge države, Turčija pa je aprila 2016 končala protidampinško preiskavo v zvezi z uvozom vroče valjanih kolobarjev iz Kitajske, Francije, Japonske, Romunije, Rusije, Slovaške in Ukrajine;
After disclosure, the GOC recalled that a finding of threat of material injury is a high standard to meet.
je po drugi strani Indija med preiskavo v zvezi z zaščitnimi ukrepi za vroče valjane ploščate liste in plošče iz legiranega in nelegiranega jekla uvedla končne stopnje dajatev.
The threat must be clearly apparent from the circumstances of the case and that special care must be exercised by the investigative authority.
Poleg tega je Brazilija začela protisubvencijsko preiskavo v zvezi z uvozom vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz ogljikovega jekla.
As a preliminary point, the GOC claimed that a close analysis of the factors that the Commission considered revealed that the Commission did not meet this high standard for finding a threat of injury.
Nazadnje, turški proizvajalci so vložili nove peticije v zvezi s protidampinškimi in izravnalnimi dajatvami za uvoz vroče valjanih kolobarjev s poreklom tudi iz Kitajske.
The Commission rejected this claim by the GOC for the reasons detailed in section 5.2 below covering the analysis of all factors that have been considered.
V zvezi s tem je ena zainteresirana stran obvestila Komisijo, da so medtem turški organi 21. decembra 2016 začeli novo dampinško preiskavo, ki zajema debelo pločevino in nekatere vrste vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov.
The Commission has taken a comprehensive approach.
Statistični podatki o izvozu – za leto 2015 in prvih šest mesecev leta 2016 – za vzorec [82] oznak KN v zvezi s podobnim izdelkom – kažejo, da se je obseg kitajskega izvoza razlikoval glede na namembni kraj, vendar je njegov skupni obseg za preostali svet ostal nespremenjen.
It weighted and assessed not only all the factors which are listed in Article 3(9), second subparagraph of the basic Regulation but also some additional factors such as order intakes and profitability.
Izgubo tržnega deleža v nekaterih državah (npr. v Indoneziji in Vietnamu) v prvih šestih mesecih leta 2016 v primerjavi z letom 2015 je izravnalo povečanje tržnega deleža v drugih državah (npr. v Bangladešu in Demokratični ljudski republiki Koreja).
The Commission also recalled that under Articles 11 and 5 of the basic Regulation, which equally apply to investigations initiated on the basis of allegations of threat of injury, representative findings have to be based on a period ending before the initiation of proceedings.
Po razkritju je kitajska vlada trdila, da so trgi tretjih držav ne le pomembnejši od trga Unije, ampak da kažejo tudi na veliko večji potencial.
The purpose of this principle is to ensure that the results of the investigation are representative and reliable.
Trgi tretjih držav naj bi že bili absorbirali kakšne koli domnevne presežne zmogljivosti za proizvodnjo vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov.
In particular, the factors on which the determination of subsidisation and injury are based should not be influenced by the conduct of the producers concerned following the initiation of the proceeding, so that the definitive countervailing duty imposed remedies effectively the injury caused by the subsidisation.
Navedla je tudi, da so nekateri drugi namembni kraji veliko bolj pomembni za izvoz kitajskih vroče valjanih ploščatih izdelkov kot države, ki jih navaja Komisija.
Threat of injury
Na koncu je navedla, da trg Unije ni primarni cilj za kitajske vroče valjane ploščate izdelke.
The nature of the subsidy or subsidies in question and the trade effects likely to arise therefrom
Komisija zavrača te pripombe iz naslednjih razlogov.
As explained in Chapter 3 above, the Chinese exporting HRF producers benefitted from a large number of subsidy schemes.
Prvič, opozorila je na znatno povečanje obsega kitajskega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju, kakor ponazarja preglednica 4, ki prikazuje povečanje za 1,3 milijona ton.
Most of them are permanent by nature, such as land use rights, tax breaks and grant programmes.
To jasno kaže, da je bil trg Unije privlačen za kitajski subvencioniran uvoz in je bil eden prvih ciljev tega uvoza.
Moreover, the credits received were a constant feature of Chinese industrial policy to support its steel industry.
Komisija je prav tako opozorila na razloge, opisane v uvodni izjavi (482), za ustavitev trenda povečevanja obsega uvoza po juniju 2016.
The Commission concluded that these subsidies were of structural nature.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi (523), je Komisija znova poudarila, da bi brez sprejetja ukrepov in ob upoštevanju velike obstoječe presežne zmogljivosti Kitajske v jeklarstvu, vključno z zadevnim izdelkom, kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki lahko znova začeli izvajati agresivno cenovno strategijo in bi svoje subvencionirane prodajne cene znižali na minimalne ravni.
They are likely to induce Chinese exporting producers to sell their steel products and their ever increasing output in foreign markets when local consumption cannot absorb these quantities.
Poleg tega Komisija gibanja obsega uvoza ni analizirala kot ločenega dejavnika, ampak je uporabila celovit pristop.
