levying the definitive anti-dumping duty on the registered imports of certain cold-rolled flat steel products originating in the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation
o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve na registrirani uvoz nekaterih hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Ruske federacije
Having regard to Regulation (EU) 2016/1036 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2016 on protection against dumped imports from countries not members of the European Union [1] (the ‘basic Regulation’), and in particular Article 10(4) thereof,
ob upoštevanju Uredbe (EU) 2016/1036 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 8. junija 2016 o zaščiti proti dampinškemu uvozu iz držav, ki niso članice Evropske unije [1] („osnovna uredba“), in zlasti člena 10(4) Uredbe,
On 14 May 2015, following a complaint by the European Steel Association (‘Eurofer’ or ‘the complainant’), the European Commission (‘the Commission’) initiated an anti-dumping investigation with regard to imports into the Union of certain flat-rolled products of iron or non-alloy steel, or other alloy steel but excluding of stainless steel, of all widths, cold-rolled (cold-reduced), not clad, plated or coated and not further worked than cold-rolled (cold-reduced) (‘cold-rolled flat steel products’ or ‘CRFS’) originating in the People's Republic of China (‘PRC’) and the Russian Federation (‘Russia’) (together, referred to as ‘the countries concerned’) on the basis of Article 5 of the basic Regulation.
Evropska komisija („Komisija“) je 14. maja 2015 na podlagi pritožbe združenja evropskih jeklarjev („združenje Eurofer“ ali „pritožnik“) na podlagi člena 5 osnovne uredbe začela protidampinško preiskavo v zvezi z uvozom nekaterih ploščato valjanih izdelkov iz železa ali nelegiranega jekla ali drugega legiranega jekla, razen nerjavnega jekla, vseh širin, hladno valjanih (hladno deformiranih), neplatiranih, neprevlečenih in neprekritih ter brez nadaljnje obdelave („hladno valjani ploščati izdelki iz jekla“) s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske („LRK“) in Ruske federacije („Rusija“) (skupaj imenovani „zadevni državi“) v Unijo.
The complainant submitted a request for registration pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation on 12 November 2015.
Pritožnik je 12. novembra 2015 vložil zahtevek za registracijo v skladu s členom 14(5) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission, by Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2015/2325 [2] (the ‘registration Regulation’), made the imports of certain cold-rolled flat steel products originating in the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation subject to registration.
Komisija je z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2015/2325 [2] („uredba o registraciji“) določila obvezno registracijo uvoza nekaterih hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Ruske federacije.
By Article 1(2) of that Regulation, all interested parties were invited to make their views known in writing, to provide supporting evidence or to request to be heard within a fixed deadline.
S členom 1(2) navedene uredbe so bile vse zainteresirane strani pozvane, naj pisno izrazijo svoja stališča, predložijo ustrezne dokaze ali zahtevajo zaslišanje v določenem roku.
Comments on the registration were received from the complainant, the China Iron & Steel Association (CISA), the Ministry of Economic Development of the Russian Federation, Russian exporting producers, importers and/or users.
Pripombe o registraciji so predložili pritožnik, združenje China Iron & Steel Association (CISA), ministrstvo za gospodarski razvoj Ruske federacije, ruski proizvajalci izvozniki, uvozniki in/ali uporabniki.
By Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/181 [3], the Commission imposed a provisional anti-dumping duty on imports of certain cold-rolled flat steel products originating in the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation.
Komisija je z Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2016/181 [3] uvedla začasno protidampinško dajatev na uvoz nekaterih hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Ruske federacije.
The Commission's final analysis and determination with regard to dumping, injury, causation and Union interest are detailed in Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) 2016/1328 [4] (‘definitive Regulation’).
Končna analiza Komisije in njene ugotovitve o dampingu, škodi, vzročni zvezi in interesu Unije so podrobno predstavljene v Izvedbeni uredbi Komisije (EU) 2016/1328 [4] („dokončna uredba“).
The present regulation only addresses the issue of registration, the comments received in relation to registration and retroactive levying of the anti-dumping duty in question.
Ta uredba se nanaša samo na vprašanje registracije, pripombe, prejete v zvezi z registracijo, in retroaktivni obračun zadevne protidampinške dajatve.
Procedure with regard to retroactivity after the imposition of provisional measures
Postopek v zvezi z retroaktivnostjo po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov
In order to examine whether the retroactive application of the definitive duties was warranted, the Commission analysed consumption, prices, imports and sales volumes prior and subsequent to the opening of the investigation.
Da bi Komisija preučila, ali je retroaktivna uporaba dokončnih dajatev upravičena, je analizirala potrošnjo, cene ter obseg uvoza in prodaje pred začetkom preiskave in po njem.
Furthermore, questionnaires were sent to the complainant and the five sampled Union producers concerning the sales in the period following the investigation period (‘IP’), i.e. from 1 April 2015 to 31 January 2016.
ThyssenKrupp Germany, Duisburg, Nemčija,
Replies were received from the complainant and all sampled Union producers.

Na zahtevo združenja Eurofer je 3. maja 2016 potekalo zaslišanje pred pooblaščencem za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih.
Unrelated importers/users
To zaslišanje je potekalo v okviru protidampinškega postopka v zvezi z uvozom nekaterih hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Ruske federacije, eno od sproženih vprašanj pa je bilo morebitno retroaktivno pobiranje dokončne protidampinške dajatve.
Duferco SA, Lugano, Switzerland
Na zahtevo uvoznikov so službe Komisije opravile tudi dve zaslišanji v zvezi z vprašanjem retroaktivnega pobiranja protidampinške dajatve.
Marcegaglia Carbon Steel, Mantova, Italy
Komisija je vse strani obvestila o bistvenih dejstvih in premislekih, na podlagi katerih je nameravala naložiti dokončno protidampinško dajatev na registrirani uvoz hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla („dodatno razkritje“).
On 3 May 2016 a hearing with the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings was held at the request of Eurofer.
Za vse strani je bil določen rok za pošiljanje pripomb v zvezi z dodatnim razkritjem.
This hearing was held within the framework of the anti-dumping proceeding concerning imports of certain cold rolled flat steel products originating in the People's Republic of China and the Russian Federation and one of the issues raised was the possible retroactive collection of the definitive anti-dumping duty.
Pripombe zainteresiranih strani so se preučile in upoštevale, kadar je bilo primerno.
On the request of importers, the Commission services also held two hearings regarding the issue of retroactive collection of the anti-dumping duty.
Po dodatnem razkritju je več strani predložilo pripombe.
The Commission informed all parties of the essential facts and considerations on the basis of which it intended to levy a definitive anti-dumping duty on the registered imports of CRFS (‘the additional disclosure’).
Za eno skupino uvoznikov je bilo 15. junija 2016 organizirano zaslišanje pred pooblaščencem za zaslišanje v trgovinskih postopkih.
All parties were granted a period within which they could make comments on the additional disclosure.
Po tem zaslišanju je ena zainteresirana stran predložila pripombe v zvezi z ugotovitvami po zaslišanju.
The comments submitted by the interested parties were considered and taken into account where appropriate.
B. RETROAKTIVNI OBRAČUN PROTIDAMPINŠKIH DAJATEV
Following the additional disclosure, several parties submitted comments.
Splošna načela za registracijo in retroaktivni obračun protidampinških dajatev
On 15 June 2016, one group of importers had a hearing with the Hearing Officer in trade proceedings.
Komisija bo v skladu s svojim sporočilom „Jeklarska industrija: ohranjanje trajnostnih delovnih mest in rasti v Evropi“ [5] zagotovila, da bo industrija konkretno pomoč prejela že precej pred sprejetjem začasnih ukrepov.
Following this hearing, one interested party submitted comments to the post-hearing submission.
To je mogoče doseči z registracijo uvoza pred sprejetjem začasnih ukrepov.
B. RETROACTIVE LEVYING OF ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES
Če so izpolnjeni ustrezni zakonski pogoji, lahko Komisija dokončne protidampinške dajatve retroaktivno naloži tri mesece pred sprejetjem začasnih ukrepov.
General principles for registration and retroactive levying of anti-dumping duties
Navedeni zakonski pogoji so določeni v členu 10(4) in členu 14(5) osnovne uredbe, ki temeljita na členih 10.6 in 10.7 protidampinškega sporazuma STO.
According to its Communication ‘Steel: Preserving Sustainable Jobs and Growth in Europe’ [5], the Commission will ensure that the industry gets actual relief significantly before provisional measures are imposed.
V navedenih zakonskih pogojih je določen mehanizem v dveh fazah za zagotovitev, da popravljalni učinek dokončne protidampinške dajatve, ki bo uporabljena, ne bo ogrožen.
This is achieved by registering imports prior to the adoption of provisional measures.
Ker je to prvi primer, v katerem je ugotovljeno, da so pogoji za retroaktivno pobiranje protidampinških dajatev izpolnjeni, Komisija meni, da je nujno treba podrobno pojasniti metodologijo, uporabljeno za naveden sklep.
This allows the Commission to retroactively apply definitive anti-dumping duties three months before the adoption of provisional measures, where the relevant legal conditions are met.
Prva faza, ki temelji na zamisli o preprečitvi ogrožanja popravljalnega učinka dajatev, je registracija v skladu s členom 14(5) osnovne uredbe in členom 10.7 protidampinškega sporazuma STO, pri čemer se poleg registracije uvoza obvesti tudi zainteresirane strani, zlasti uvoznike, da se lahko dokončne dajatve poberejo retroaktivno, če so izpolnjeni vsebinski pogoji.
Those legal conditions are set out in Articles 10(4) and 14(5) of the basic Regulation, which are based on Articles 10.6 and 10.7 WTO Anti-dumping Agreement (‘WTO ADA’).
Druga faza v primeru, da se s preprečevanjem ne uspe ohraniti popravljalni učinek dokončnih dajatev, je retroaktivni obračun protidampinških dajatev za izdelke, ki so bili uvoženi za potrošnjo ne več kot 90 dni pred dnevom začetka uporabe začasnih ukrepov, vendar ne pred začetkom preiskave, v skladu s členom 10(4) osnovne uredbe in členom 10.6 protidampinškega sporazuma STO.
Those legal conditions set out a two-step mechanism to make sure that the remedial effect of the definitive anti-dumping duty to be applied is not undermined.
Katera koli od navedenih faz se lahko izvede le, če so izpolnjeni pogoji iz člena 10(4) osnovne uredbe in člena 10.6 protidampinškega sporazuma STO.
Because it is the first case in which it is found that the conditions for retroactive collection of anti-dumping duties are met, the Commission considers it necessary to explain in detail the methodology that was applied to reach that conclusion.
Komisija meni, da je primerno, da predstavi, kako pri odločanju o retroaktivni uvedbi protidampinških dajatev razlaga in uporablja pogoja „nadaljnje znatne rasti uvoza“ in „verjetnosti resne ogrozitve popravljalnega učinka dokončne protidampinške dajatve“ iz člena 10(4)(d) osnovne uredbe.
The first step, which is based on the idea of preventing the undermining of the remedial effect of duties, is registration pursuant to Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation and Article 10.7 WTO ADA, which besides registering imports also notifies interested parties, in particular importers, that definitive duties might be collected retroactively should the substantive conditions be met.
Drugi od dveh alternativnih pogojev iz člena 10(4)(c) osnovne uredbe bo vedno izpolnjen v tistem trenutku, ko bo začetek postopka objavljen v Uradnem listu Evropske unije.
The second step, in case prevention fails to preserve the remedial effect of the definitive duties is the retroactive levying of anti-dumping duties on products which were entered for consumption no more than 90 days prior to the date of application of provisional measures but not prior to the initiation of the investigation, pursuant to Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation and Article 10.6 WTO ADA.
Zato nadaljnja pojasnila v zvezi s členom 10(4)(c) osnovne uredbe niso potrebna.
Any of those two steps can only be taken when the conditions set out in Article 10(4) of the basic Regulation and Article 10.6 WTO ADA are met.
Člen 10(4)(d) osnovne uredbe določa:
The Commission considers it appropriate to set out the manner in which it construes and applies the conditions ‘further substantial rise in imports’ and ‘likelihood of seriously undermining the remedial effect of the definitive anti-dumping duty’, set out in Article 10(4)(d) of the basic Regulation, when deciding on the retroactive imposition of anti-dumping duties.
„poleg ravni uvoza, ki je povzročal škodo v teku obdobja preiskave, obstaja nadaljnja znatna rast uvoza, ki bo zaradi svoje časovne opredeljenosti in obsega in drugih okoliščin verjetno resno ogrozil popravljalni učinek dokončne protidampinške dajatve, ki se bo uporabila.“
The second of the two alternative conditions of Article 10(4)(c) of the basic Regulation will always be met the moment the initiation of the procedure is published in the Official Journal of the European Union.
Komisija člen 10(4)(d) osnovne uredbe razlaga tako, da določa dva pogoja, ki morata biti izpolnjena, da bi lahko Komisija retroaktivno obračunala dokončno protidampinško dajatev (poleg pogojev, določenih v členu 10(4)(c) osnovne uredbe in v uvodu člena 10(4) v povezavi s členom 14(5) osnovne uredbe).
It is therefore not necessary to provide further clarification on Article 10(4)(c) of the basic Regulation.
Ta pogoja sta:
Article 10(4)(d) of the basic Regulation provides the following:
poleg ravni uvoza, ki je povzročal škodo v obdobju preiskave, obstaja nadaljnja znatna rast uvoza in
n addition to the level of imports which caused injury during the investigation period, there is a further substantial rise in imports which, in the light of its timing and volume and other circumstances, is likely to seriously undermine the remedial effect of the definitive anti-dumping duty to be applied.’
ta znatna rast uvoza bo zaradi svoje časovne opredeljenosti in obsega ter drugih okoliščin verjetno resno ogrozila popravljalni učinek dokončne protidampinške dajatve, ki se bo uporabila.
The Commission interprets Article 10(4)(d) of the basic Regulation as setting two conditions which need to be fulfilled in order to allow the Commission to levy the definitive anti-dumping duty retroactively (in addition to the conditions set out in Article 10(4)(c) of the basic Regulation and in the chapeau of Article 10(4), read in conjunction with Article 14(5) of the basic Regulation).
Nadaljnja znatna rast uvoza
The two conditions are as follows:
Za določitev, ali obstaja nadaljnja znatna rast uvoza, je treba primerjati podatke [6].
in addition to the level of imports which caused injury during the investigation period, there is a further substantial rise in imports; and
V zvezi s tem je treba določiti, katera obdobja je treba primerjati.
this further substantial rise in imports, in the light of its timing and volume and other circumstances, is likely to seriously undermine the remedial effect of the definitive anti-dumping duty to be applied.
Obdobja, ki jih je treba primerjati
Further substantial rise in imports
Osnovna uredba se po eni strani nanaša na raven uvoza v obdobju preiskave.
In order to be able to make any determination concerning whether there is a further substantial rise in imports, a comparison of data is necessary [6].
Po drugi strani izraza „nadaljnja“ in „poleg“ pomenita, da je treba raven uvoza v obdobju preiskave primerjati z ravnjo uvoza po obdobju preiskave.
In this respect, it has to be determined what periods of time need to be compared.
Hkrati se obdobje, ki se bo primerjalo z obdobjem preiskave, ne more začeti, preden je izpolnjen eden od dveh alternativnih pogojev iz člena 10(4)(c) osnovne uredbe.
Periods to be compared
Če se uvozniki verjetnega dampinga zavejo šele z objavo obvestila o začetku v Uradnem listu Evropske unije, je torej treba to točko vzeti kot začetno točko za drugo obdobje.
On the one hand, the basic Regulation refers to the level of imports during the investigation period.
Cilj splošne analize je oceniti, ali so izpolnjeni pogoji za uporabo dajatve pred datumom uporabe začasnih ukrepov.
On the other hand, the words ‘further’ and ‘in addition to’ imply that the level of imports in the investigation period should be compared with the level of imports after the investigation period.
Zato se mora zadnje navedeno obdobje končati z uvedbo začasnih ukrepov, ko se registracija uvoza [7] preneha uporabljati.
At the same time, the period to be compared to the investigation period cannot commence before one of the two alternative conditions in Article 10(4)(c) of the basic Regulation is met.
Statistični podatki o uvozu so na voljo samo mesečno.
Where importers only become aware of the likely dumping by the publication of the notice of initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union, that point should therefore be taken as starting point for the second period.
Komisija bo torej za zadnje navedeno obdobje uporabila podatke za polni koledarski mesec po objavi obvestila o začetku v Uradnem listu Evropske unije, če se uvozniki dampinga začnejo zavedati z začetkom preiskave.
The overall analysis aims at assessing whether the conditions for an application of the duty prior to the date of application of the provisional measures are met.
Če se ga začnejo zavedati na drugi podlagi, na primer zaradi dampinga, ki traja daljše obdobje, bo to mesec po dogodku, ki je sprožil zavedanje, vendar ne prej kot prvi polni mesec po obdobju preiskave.
Therefore, the latter period should end with the imposition of the provisional measures at which moment the registration of imports [7] ceases to apply.
Kar zadeva končno točko, bo Komisija določila dve vrednosti: eno vključno z mesecem, v katerem se začnejo začasni ukrepi, in eno brez tega meseca.
Import statistics are only available on a monthly basis.
Komisija bo običajno določila povprečno mesečno raven uvoza za celotno obdobje preiskave, ki načeloma traja 12 mesecev, ter mesečno povprečje za raven uvoza med začetkom zavedanja in začasnimi ukrepi.
The Commission would therefore use for the latter period the data for the full calendar month following the publication of the initiation in the Official Journal of the European Union, where awareness of the importers is triggered by initiation.
Začetna in končna točka za zadnje navedeno povprečje se določita, kot je pojasnjeno v prejšnjem odstavku.
Where awareness stems from a different basis, for example from a history of dumping over an extended period, it would be the month following the event triggering awareness, but the earliest the first full month after the investigation period.
Poleg tega bo Komisija določila tudi gibanje uvoza v absolutnem smislu, njegov vpliv na gibanje zalog izdelka in tržne deleže ter potrošnjo izdelka v obravnavanem obdobju.
As for the end point, the Commission would establish two values: one including the month in which the provisional measures start, one excluding that month.
Obseg rasti, ki jo je treba opredeliti kot znatno
The Commission would normally establish a monthly average level of imports for the whole investigation period which in principle lasts 12 months, and a monthly average for the level of imports between awareness and provisional measures.
To je treba določiti za vsak primer posebej.
The starting and end points for the latter average are established as explained in the previous paragraph.
Komisija bo poleg primerjanja tehtanih mesečnih povprečij upoštevala tudi vse druge ustrezne elemente.
Furthermore, the Commission would also establish the evolution of imports in absolute terms, their impact on the evolution of stocks of the product and on the market shares, and consumption of the product during the period considered.
To so zlasti: razvoj skupne potrošnje zadevnega izdelka v Uniji, gibanje zalog in razvoj tržnih deležev.
Extent of the rise to be qualified as substantial
Analiza mora torej biti dvojna, absolutna in relativna.
Such a determination should be based on a case-by-case analysis.
Primerjava med navedenima povprečjema je torej pomembna, vendar pa ni nujno odločilen element pri ugotavljanju, ali je nadaljnja rast uvoza „znatna“.
In addition to comparing monthly weighted averages, the Commission will also take all other relevant considerations into account.
Podlaga za ta pristop
Those are in particular: the development of the overall consumption of the product concerned in the Union, the evolution of stocks, and the evolution of market shares.
Uvoz, ki vstopi v Unijo pred registracijo, nikakor ne more biti predmet protidampinških dajatev.
Hence, the analysis should be twofold, absolute and relative.
Vendar je pomemben za določitev, ali bo uvoz, ki vstopi v Unijo po registraciji, verjetno ogrozil popravljalni učinek dajatev ali ne, in sicer iz naslednjega razloga: med drugim zaradi obstoja zalog popravljalni učinek dajatev (tj. zvišanje cene uvoženih izdelkov bodisi zaradi zvišanja cene ali zaradi dajatve) ni nikoli takojšen, ampak nastopi šele, ko so zaloge prodane.
A comparison between the two above monthly averages is thus an important, but not necessarily the decisive element in determining whether the further rise in imports is ‘substantial’.
Nadaljnja znatna rast uvoza pred registracijo bi običajno morala privesti do znatnega povečanja zalog.
Rationale underlying this approach
To pomeni, da je popravljalni učinek dajatev dodatno odložen v primerjavi s stanjem z običajnimi zalogami.
Imports that enter the Union prior to registration can in no case be subject to anti-dumping duties.
Kakršen koli nadaljnji uvoz med registracijo in začasnimi ukrepi, s katerim se še povečajo zaloge, ki bistveno presegajo običajno raven, bo nadalje odložil popravljalni učinek.
They are, however, relevant for determining whether or not imports that enter the Union after registration are likely to undermine the remedial effect of duties, for the following reason: Due, inter alia, to the existence of stocks, the remedial effect of duties (i.e. an increase of the price of imported products, either due to a price increase or due to the duty) is never immediate, but takes place only once stocks have been sold.
Rast uvoza bo verjetno resno ogrozila popravljalni učinek dajatev
A further substantial rise in imports prior to registration should normally lead to a substantial increase in stocks.
V drugi fazi je treba določiti, ali bo ta rast verjetno resno ogrozila popravljalni učinek dokončne dajatve, ki se bo uporabila.
That means that the remedial effect of duties is further delayed compared to a situation with normal stocks.
Uporaba izraza „bo verjetno“ kaže, da je ta analiza usmerjena v prihodnost.
