natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation it was first examined whether the total volume of domestic sales during the RIP of the like product to independent customers made by the cooperating Union industry producers was representative in comparison with the total export volume to the Union, namely whether the total volume of such domestic sales represented at least 5 % of the total volume of export sales made by Chinese producers to the Union.
V skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe je bilo najprej proučeno, ali je bil v OPP celoten obseg domače prodaje podobnega izdelka s strani sodelujočih proizvajalcev industrije Unije neodvisnim strankam reprezentativen v primerjavi s celotnim obsegom izvoza v Unijo, tj. ali je celoten obseg take domače prodaje predstavljal vsaj 5 % celotnega obsega izvoza kitajskih proizvajalcev v Unijo.
This was done by establishing the proportion of domestic sales to independent customers on the domestic market which were profitable during the RIP.
To je bilo izvedeno z določitvijo deleža domače prodaje neodvisnim strankam na domačem trgu, ki je bila dobičkonosna v OPP.
As it was found that all domestic sales were made in sufficient quantities and in the ordinary course of trade, normal value was based on the actual domestic prices and was calculated as the weighted average of the prices of all domestic sales during the review investigation period.
Ker je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bila vsa domača prodaja izvedena v zadostnih količinah in v običajnem poteku trgovine, je normalna vrednost temeljila na dejanskih domačih cenah in bila izračunana kot tehtano povprečje cen celotne domače prodaje v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
In the absence of cooperation from Chinese exporting producers, and thus in the absence of specific information on Chinese prices, the export price was determined on the basis of facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation i.e. the sampling information provided by the known Chinese exporting producer at the stage of the initiation of the expiry review and Eurostat Comext database and the Chinese exports database.
Ker noben kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik ni sodeloval in ker zato specifične informacije o kitajskih cenah niso bile na voljo, je bila izvozna cena določena na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe, tj. informacij za vzorčenje, ki jih je predložil znani kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik v fazi začetka pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa, in Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke Comext ter podatkovne zbirke kitajskega izvoza.
For the purpose of ensuring fair comparison between normal value and export price, due adjustments were made for differences affecting prices and price comparison in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Da bi se zagotovila poštena primerjava med normalno vrednostjo in izvozno ceno, so bile v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe izvedene ustrezne prilagoditve za razlike, ki vplivajo na cene in primerjavo cen.
Adjustments were made where necessary, for differences in transport, insurance and other transport related costs based on the information from the expiry review request.
Po potrebi so bile izvedene prilagoditve za razlike v stroških prevoza in zavarovanja ter drugih stroških, povezanih s prevozom na podlagi informacij iz zahtevka za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa.
The average price found in the Eurostat Comext database, cross-checked with information obtained from the available sampling form, compared to the normal value shows the existence of dumping.
Povprečna cena iz Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke Comext, navzkrižno preverjena z informacijami z razpoložljivega obrazca za vzorčenje, v primerjavi z normalno vrednostjo kaže na obstoj dampinga.
Account taken of the above and of the absence of any other reliable information for the PRC, a country-wide dumping margin, based on a weighted average-to-average comparison and expressed as a percentage of the CIF EU frontier price duty unpaid, was calculated and found to be 49 %.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega in zaradi odsotnosti drugih zanesljivih informacij za LRK je bila na podlagi primerjave tehtanih povprečij izračunana stopnja dampinga za vso državo in izražena kot odstotek cene CIF meja EU brez plačane dajatve ter določena na ravni 49 %.
Conclusion on dumping
Sklep o dampingu
This conclusion was based (i) on the one hand, on export prices as established from the Eurostat Comext database and from information collected through the sampling form as explained under recital 46 above; and (ii) on the other hand, on normal value determined on the basis of Union industry prices in line with the provisions of Article 2(7)(a) of the basic Regulation for the reasons explained under recitals 35 to 41 above.
Ta sklep temelji na (i) izvoznih cenah, določenih na podlagi Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke Comext in informacij, zbranih z obrazca za vzorčenje, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 46, in na (ii) normalni vrednosti, določeni na podlagi cen industrije Unije v skladu z določbami člena 2(7)(a) osnovne uredbe zaradi razlogov iz uvodnih izjav 35 do 41.
Evidence of likelihood of continuation of dumping
Dokazi o verjetnosti nadaljevanja dampinga
Further to the finding of dumping during the RIP, the likelihood of the continuation of dumping was investigated.
Poleg ugotovitve dampinga v OPP je bila proučena verjetnost nadaljevanja dampinga.
In the absence of cooperation from Chinese exporting producers, the investigation relied on the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Ker kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso sodelovali, je preiskava v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe temeljila na razpoložljivih dejstvih.
Given the lack of publicly available information, the Commission used other sources of information such as Eurostat Comext and the ‘Article 14(6) of the basic Regulation’ databases, sampling forms available submitted by the main Chinese exporting producers, which provide information on Chinese exports sales to all the countries including the Union, the review request and the Chinese export database.
Zaradi pomanjkanja javno dostopnih informacij je Komisija uporabila druge vire informacij, kot so Eurostatova podatkovna zbirka Comext in podatkovna zbirka iz „člena 14(6) osnovne uredbe“, razpoložljivi obrazci za vzorčenje, ki so jih predložili glavni kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki in ki zagotavljajo informacije o kitajskem izvozu v vse države, vključno z Unijo, zahtevek za preiskavo ter podatkovna zbirka kitajskega izvoza.
In light of the considerations set out in recitals 48 and 49 above, the Commission further analysed whether there was a likelihood of continuation of dumping should the measures lapse.
Komisija je glede na premisleke iz uvodnih izjav 48 in 49 nadalje analizirala, ali obstaja verjetnost nadaljevanja ali ponovitve dampinga, če bi se iztekla veljavnost ukrepov.
When doing so, the following elements were analysed: (i) the Chinese production capacity and spare capacity, (ii) the behaviour of Chinese exporters on other markets and (iii) the attractiveness of the Union market.
Pri tem je analizirala naslednje elemente: (i) kitajsko proizvodno zmogljivost in prosto zmogljivost, (ii) obnašanje kitajskih izvoznikov na drugih trgih in (iii) privlačnost trga Unije.
Production and spare capacity in the PRC
Proizvodna in prosta zmogljivost v LRK
Based on the information in the expiry review request, the production capacity in the PRC is estimated to be around 970 million pieces and the current production in the PRC is around 50 % of this volume.
Na podlagi informacij iz zahtevka za pregled zaradi izteka ukrepa je proizvodna zmogljivost v LRK ocenjena na približno 970 milijonov kosov, tekoča proizvodnja v LRK pa zajema približno 50 % tega obsega.
The estimated idle production capacity available in the PRC thus represents more than four times the Union consumption.
Ocenjena neizkoriščena proizvodna zmogljivost, ki je na voljo v LRK, tako predstavlja več kot štirikratnik potrošnje Unije.
In spite of this current large overcapacity, information obtained during the investigation shows that, capacity in the PRC is still expanding further, as more new producers are currently being established.
Informacije, pridobljene med preiskavo, kljub tej trenutni veliki presežni zmogljivosti kažejo, da se zmogljivost v LRK širi še naprej z ustanavljanjem več novih proizvajalcev.
The production can thus easily and rapidly be increased in order to ship larger volumes of RBMs with known brands through existing distribution channels to the Union market.
Tako se lahko proizvodnja zlahka in hitro poveča za odpremljanje večjih količin obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo z znanimi znamkami na trg Unije po obstoječih distribucijskih verigah.
The applicants considered that the main pre-requisite to increase production is the access to unskilled labour because investments in this business are rather limited [15] and access to raw material is relatively easy in the PRC.
Po mnenju vložnikov je osnovni predpogoj za povečanje proizvodnje dostop do nekvalificirane delovne sile, saj so naložbe v ta sektor precej omejene [15], dostop do surovin pa je v LRK razmeroma enostaven.
The findings in previous investigations on RBMs also showed that labour and handwork is the major element which would influence the production volume in the PRC.
Ugotovitve prejšnjih preiskav o obročnih mehanizmih za vezavo so pokazale tudi, da sta delovna sila in ročno delo glavni element, ki bi lahko vplival na obseg proizvodnje v LRK.
If a producer needs to increase production it would increase its workforce accordingly.
Če mora proizvajalec povečati proizvodnjo, bi se ustrezno povečala njegova delovna sila.
Moreover, there is no evidence to suggest that in the near future the level of consumption on the Chinese domestic market or third country markets would significantly increase and thus would be able to absorb the currently available spare capacity of the Chinese producers, or a significant part of it.
Poleg tega ne obstajajo nobeni dokazi za bistveno povečanje ravni potrošnje na kitajskem domačem trgu ali na trgih tretjih držav v bližnji prihodnosti, ki bi lahko absorbiralo prosto zmogljivost kitajskih proizvajalcev, ki je trenutno na voljo, ali njen znaten del.
Based on the above, the investigation concluded that Chinese exporters could easily expand their production and export significant quantities to the Union should measures be allowed to lapse.
Na podlagi tega je bilo v preiskavi ugotovljeno, da bi kitajski izvozniki lahko v primeru prenehanja veljavnosti ukrepov zlahka povečali svojo proizvodnjo in izvažali znatne količine v Unijo.
As mentioned below in recital 59, the Union market has always been an attractive market for Chinese exporters and they have also been consistently present in the rest of the world.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 59 je trg Unije že od nekdaj privlačen trg za kitajske izvoznike, ki so stalno prisotni tudi drugod po svetu.
According to the Chinese export statistics available, the main export markets where Chinese exporters were active are the USA, Mexico, Hong Kong, Turkey, and South Africa.
Glede na razpoložljive kitajske statistične podatke o izvozu so bili kitajski izvozniki aktivni predvsem na izvoznih trgih v ZDA, Mehiki, Hongkongu, Turčiji in Južni Afriki.
Except for the USA [16], the prices they charged in these countries are lower than those prevailing in the Union market for similar product types.
Razen v ZDA [16] so cene, ki so jih zaračunavali v teh državah, nižje od prevladujočih cen na trgu Unije za podobne vrste izdelka.
In these circumstances, it is reasonable to expect that if the anti-dumping measures were allowed to expire, Chinese exporters would revert from certain third countries to the Union market and would then aim to export to the Union market in considerable quantities.
V teh okoliščinah je razumno pričakovati, da bi se v primeru dovoljenega izteka protidampinških ukrepov kitajski proizvajalci iz nekaterih tretjih držav preusmerili nazaj na trg Unije s ciljem izvoza znatnih količin na trg Unije.
The Union market has always been a very attractive market in terms of volumes and prices.
Trg Unije je že od nekdaj zelo privlačen v smislu količin in cen.
The information received at the time of the initiation of the current investigation shows that the Union prices are significantly higher compared with sales prices to most other third countries.
Informacije, prejete na začetku sedanje preiskave, kažejo, da so cene v Uniji bistveno višje kot prodajne cene v večini tretjih držav.
Since the imposition of the measures for the first time (i.e. 20 January 1997), the Chinese exporters have continuously shown a strong interest in entering the Union market.
Kitajski izvozniki od prve uvedbe ukrepov (tj. 20. januarja 1997) stalno kažejo velik interes za vstop na trg Unije.
Previous investigations have shown that Chinese producers were trying to avoid the measures via circumventing practices [17], such as trans-shipping, slight modifications, and also by absorption practices [18].
Prejšnje preiskave kažejo, da so se kitajski proizvajalci poskušali izogniti ukrepom s praksami izogibanja [17], kot so pretovarjanje, manjše spremembe, pa tudi z absorpcijskimi praksami [18].
The size of the Union market can be considered as a clear indication that Chinese producers would in the future attempt to regain market share in the Union.
Velikost trga Unije se lahko šteje za jasen znak, da bi kitajski proizvajalci v prihodnosti poskušali ponovno pridobiti tržni delež v Uniji.
As to prices, according to the investigation, the average Chinese export price to third country markets is lower than the average Chinese export price to the Union as mentioned in recital 57 above.
V zvezi s cenami je glede na preiskavo povprečna kitajska cena izvoza na trge v tretjih državah nižja od povprečne kitajske izvozne cene v Unijo, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 57.
It is thus clear that the Union market would be a financially attractive option for the Chinese exporters because they could sell at higher prices in the Union without jeopardising their sales to the rest of the world and still undercut their main competitors in the Union by selling at dumped prices.
Tako je jasno, da bi bil trg Unije finančno privlačna možnost za kitajske izvoznike, ker bi lahko v Unijo prodajali po višjih cenah, ne da bi ogrozili svojo prodajo drugod po svetu, pri tem pa še vedno izpodrinili svoje glavne tekmece v EU s prodajo po dampinških cenah.
It can therefore be concluded that the Union market, one of the largest worldwide, remains attractive to Chinese producers.
Zato se ugotavlja, da trg Unije, ki je eden največjih svetovnih trgov, ostaja privlačen za kitajske proizvajalce.
In light of the estimated significant spare capacity in the PRC, combined with the attractiveness of the Union market in terms of size and sales price, in particular with regard to the price level of the PRC exports to third countries, and the records of past circumvention and absorption practices, the Commission concluded that there is a strong likelihood that the repeal of the anti-dumping measures would result in a significant increase of dumped imports of RBMs from the PRC to the Union.
Komisija je ob upoštevanju ocenjene znatne proste zmogljivosti v LRK skupaj s privlačnostjo trga Unije zaradi njegove velikosti in prodajne cene, zlasti glede na raven cen izvoza LRK v tretje države, in primerov preteklih praks izogibanja in absorpcije ugotovila, da bi razveljavitev protidampinških ukrepov zelo verjetno povzročila znatno povečanje dampinškega uvoza obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo iz LRK v Unijo.
D. LIKELIHOOD OF A CONTINUATION OR RECURRENCE OF INJURY
D. VERJETNOST NADALJEVANJA ALI PONOVITVE ŠKODE
Union Production and Definition of the Union Industry
Proizvodnja Unije in opredelitev industrije Unije
During the RIP RBMs were manufactured in the Union by the following producers:
V OPP sta obročne mehanizme za vezavo v EU proizvajala naslednja proizvajalca:
Ring Alliance Ringbuchtechnik GmbH, Wien, Austria
Ring Alliance Ringbuchtechnik GmbH, Wien, Avstrija in
Both producers (the first of them being the applicant) have cooperated in the investigation.
Oba proizvajalca (od katerih je prvi vložnik) sta sodelovala v preiskavi.
The second producer is also supporting the request for extension of the measures.
Tudi drugi proizvajalec podpira zahtevek za podaljšanje ukrepov.
Since both companies together represented the total Union production of RBMs in the RIP they are considered to represent the Union industry within the meaning of Articles 4(1) and 5(4) of the basic Regulation.
Ker sta oba proizvajalca skupaj predstavljala celotno proizvodnjo obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo v Uniji v OPP, se šteje, da predstavljata industrijo Unije v smislu členov 4(1) in 5(4) osnovne uredbe.
Both producers and their subsidiaries are not related to the Chinese exporting producers.
Oba proizvajalca in njune odvisne družbe niso povezani s kitajskimi proizvajalci izvozniki.
Union Consumption.
Potrošnja Unije
Union consumption was established on the basis of:
Potrošnja Unije je bila določena na podlagi:
sales volumes of the like product by the Union industry into the Union market reported in the respective questionnaire replies of the Union producers,
obsega prodaje podobnega izdelka industrije Unije na trg Unije, sporočenega v ustreznih izpolnjenih vprašalnikih proizvajalcev Unije, in
import volumes of RMBs (TARIC level) into the Union market reported in Eurostat.
obsega uvoza obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo (raven TARIC) na trg Unije, o katerem poroča Eurostat.
Union consumption index (2011 = 100)
Indeks potrošnje Unije (2011 = 100)
Union consumption (ranges in '000 pcs)
Potrošnja Unije (razpon v '000 kosih)
The investigation showed that the market for RBMs declined by 15 % over the period considered from around 100-120 million pieces in 2011 to 90-110 million pieces in the RIP [19].
Preiskava je pokazala, da se je trg obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 15 %, in sicer s približno 100–120 milijonov kosov leta 2011 na 90–110 milijonov kosov v OPP [19].

As current anti-dumping measures against PRC had been extended pursuant to Article 13(3) of the basic Regulation on imports of the product concerned consigned in Lao and Vietnam, in order to establish total import volumes of the product concerned from PRC imports from those countries should have been included.
Ker so bili sedanji protidampinški ukrepi zoper LRK v skladu s členom 13(3) osnovne uredbe razširjeni na uvoz zadevnega izdelka, poslanega iz Laosa in Vietnama, bi moral biti za določitev skupnega obsega uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK vključen tudi uvoz iz navedenih držav.
However, during the whole period considered there were no imports recorded of the product concerned from Lao and/or Vietnam.
Vendar v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju ni bil zabeležen noben uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz Laosa in/ali Vietnama.
The volume of imports RBMs originating in PRC remained at a relatively stable, low level during period considered with a slight increase in the RIP.
Obseg uvoza obročnih mehanizmov za vezavo s poreklom iz LRK je v obravnavanem obdobju ostal na razmeroma stabilni nizki ravni, v OPP pa se je nekoliko povečal.
As a result the market share of Chinese imports increased from 1,8 % to 2,3 % over the period considered.
Posledično se je v obravnavanem obdobju tržni delež kitajskega uvoza povečal z 1,8 % na 2,3 %.

The average price of imports of product concerned from the PRC was constantly decreasing in the period considered with an overall drop of 17 % between 2011 and RIP.
Povprečna cena uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK se je v obravnavanem obdobju stalno zmanjševala, in sicer s splošnim padcem za 17 % med letom 2011 in OPP.
Level of price undercutting and underselling
Ravni nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih in ciljnih cen
No price undercutting by the Chinese import prices was found in the RIP.
V OPP ni bilo ugotovljeno nelojalno nižanje cen s kitajskimi uvoznimi cenami.
It should be stressed however that the calculation takes into account price adjustments for regular custom import duty (2,7 %) and post-importation costs (2 %).
Vendar bi bilo treba poudariti, da so v tem izračunu upoštevane prilagoditve cen za običajne uvozne dajatve (2,7 %) in stroške po uvozu (2 %).
After these adjustments the average prices of Chinese imports were found to be almost at the same level as average Union industry ex-works prices to the unrelated customers in the Union — the negative undercutting margin found was 0,1 %.
Po teh prilagoditvah so bile povprečne uvozne cene s Kitajske določene na skoraj isti ravni kot so povprečne cene franko tovarna industrije Unije nepovezanim strankam v Uniji – negativna stopnja nelojalnega nižanja cen je bila ugotovljena na ravni 0,1 %.
It is also noted that the quantities sold by the Chinese exporting producers are low.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da so količine, ki so jih prodali kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki, majhne.
Furthermore, the applicant presented certain evidence that product types currently imported from the PRC are ‘special’ mechanisms, like 23-Ring mechanisms or mechanisms with the trigger.
Poleg tega je vložnik predstavil nekatere dokaze, da so vrste izdelka, ki se trenutno uvažajo iz LRK, „posebni“ mehanizmi, na primer mehanizmi s 23 obroči ali s sprožilcem.
These products consist of higher raw material component and higher labour cost and therefore are priced higher than standard products of the Union industry.
Ti izdelki vključujejo večjo komponento surovin in višje stroške dela, zato je njihova cena postavljena višje kot cena za standardne izdelke industrije Unije.
Due to the lack of cooperation of the Chinese exporters this claim could not be verified against their export data.
Zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih izvoznikov te trditve ni bilo mogoče preveriti s primerjavo z njihovimi podatki o izvozu.
Despite the lack of undercutting, still a price underselling margin of 3,4 % was established in the RIP.
Kljub odsotnosti nelojalnega nižanja cen je bila ugotovljena stopnja nelojalnega nižanja ciljnih cen v višini 3,4 % v OPP.
This calculation was based on the target profit of the Union industry of 5 %, i.e. the same target profit as used in the previous expiry review.
Ta izračun je temeljil na ciljnem dobičku industrije Unije v višini 5 %, tj. istem ciljnem dobičku, kot je bil uporabljen v prejšnjem pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa.
