natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
In this respect, the applicant, in its comments subsequent to the disclosure, provided relevant details on Chinese offers and quality claims, as they appear on the websites of Chinese producers of the product concerned, and also submitted information on important mergers amongst Chinese manufacturers aimed at improving their performance, strong State support for the open mesh industry for improving the quality, improvement of the production machinery at several key producers, the improvement of the quality of the main raw material used, and an increased focus on product quality management in the Chinese industry concerned.All these developments would thus result in a major improvement in Chinese open mesh quality, as a result of which Chinese producers currently produce the product concerned at a level that complies with the same quality standards as Union producers concerning such parameters as tensile strength after alkaline exposure (as tested according to ETAG004), machine and cross-machine direction and elongation.
Ker kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso bili pripravljeni sodelovati in niso predložili dokazov o nasprotnem in ker tudi Komisija sama ni mogla pridobiti dokazov o nasprotnem, je bilo ugotovljeno, da se je kakovost kitajskih izdelkov na splošno znatno izboljšala in da bodo navedene izboljšave verjetno značilne tudi za prihodnji izvoz v Unijo.
In the absence of cooperation from Chinese exporting producers and of any evidence to the contrary submitted by them, and since the Commission was not able to retrieve evidence to the contrary itself, it was established that the quality of the Chinese products substantially improved overall, and that those improvements are likely to also characterise future exports to the Union.
V prvotni preiskavi je prilagoditev delno temeljila na informacijah, ki so bile na voljo Komisiji in pridobljene od sodelujočih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
In the original investigation, the adjustment was partly based on the information available to the Commission, obtained from cooperating exporting producers.
V tej preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom zaradi izteka ukrepa kitajski proizvajalci niso izpolnili nobenega vprašalnika in zato niso predložili nobenih ustreznih preverljivih informacij, s katerimi bi bila lahko trditev vložnika postavljena pod vprašaj ali pa bi bile navedene ugotovitve izpodbijane.
In this expiry review investigation, the Chinese producers did not reply to any questionnaires and therefore did not submit any relevant verifiable information that would have been able to call the applicant's claim into question or rebut the above findings.
Tako je morala Komisija priti do ugotovitve na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij.
This forced the Commission to make a finding on the basis of the information available to it.
Komisija zaradi tega ter zaradi pomanjkanja sodelovanja in predloženih podatkov, ki bi dokazovali nasprotno, na podlagi primerjave kakovosti uvoza iz Kitajske in kakovosti podobnega izdelka, ki ga proizvaja in prodaja industrija Unije, kot je bilo navedeno v utemeljitvah, v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom ni mogla ugotoviti, ali bi bila prilagoditev kakovosti še vedno potrebna.
Accordingly, and due to this lack of cooperation and provision of data pointing to the contrary, the Commission was not able to determine, on the basis of a comparison between the quality of the imports from China and the quality of the like product produced and sold by the Union industry, as substantiated, during the review investigation period, whether a quality adjustment continued to be needed.
Nazadnje tudi poudarja, da kitajski proizvajalci niti v svojih pripombah k dodatnemu razkritju niso predložili nobenih utemeljenih dokazov o tem, da je bila trditev vložnika, da prilagoditev kakovosti ni več potrebna, napačna.
Finally, the Commission points out that even in their comments to the additional disclosure, the Chinese producers did not provide any substantiated evidence that the applicant's claim that no quality adjustment was anymore warranted was wrong.
Komisija je zato sprejela prvi sklop pripomb vložnika in zavrnila trditve kitajskih proizvajalcev ter sklenila, da pri izračunih nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen ni bilo več nobene podlage za uporabo prilagoditve kakovosti.
The Commission, therefore, accepted the first set of comments made by the applicant and rejected the claims made by the Chinese exporters and concluded that there was no longer any basis for applying the quality adjustment in the undercutting calculations.
Kar zadeva drugi sklop pripomb, ki ga je predložil vložnik, Komisija ni sprejela trditev vložnika, saj niso bile podprte z utemeljenimi dokazi.
As regards the second set of comments submitted by the applicant, the Commission did not accept the applicant's claims, since they were not supported by substantiated evidence.
Kljub dejstvu, da so bile te trditve zavrnjene, je sklenila, da je bila stopnja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen v višini 22,5 % (izračunana, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 96) še vedno znatna.
Despite the fact that these claims were rejected, the Commission nevertheless concluded that the 22,5 % undercutting margin (calculated as set out in recital 96 above) remained substantial.
Komisija je poleg tega poudarila, da neizvedba prilagoditve kakovosti v pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa ne pomeni spremembe metodologije glede na prvotno preiskavo.
In addition, the Commission pointed out that not making a quality adjustment in the expiry review is not a change in methodology compared to the original investigation.
Potreba po prilagoditvi kakovosti je bila ocenjena v prvotni preiskavi, ob upoštevanju okoliščin, ki so takrat prevladovale, in za zagotovitev primerjave zadevnega izdelka z izdelkom, ki se proizvaja v Uniji na enaki ravni trgovine.
The need for the quality adjustment was assessed in the original investigation in view of circumstances that prevailed at that time and to ensure a comparison of the product concerned with that produced in the Union at the same level of trade.
Vendar je glede na nove predložene dokaze ta prilagoditev zahtevala ponovno oceno.
However, in light of the new evidence submitted, this adjustment required re-assessment.
Kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 101 do 103, so dokazi, ki jih je predložil vložnik, kazali, da obstaja konkurenca na enaki ravni trgovine, zaradi katere ni bilo treba uporabiti prilagoditve kakovosti za zadevni izdelek.
As mentioned in recitals 101 to 103, the evidence provided by the applicant pointed towards competition at the same level of trade that did not require the application of a quality adjustment on the part of the product concerned.
Zato je Komisija na podlagi razpoložljivih dokazov sklenila, da okoliščine v tej zadevi niso več upravičevale takšne prilagoditve.
On the basis of the evidence available to it, the Commission, accordingly, concluded that the circumstances of the present case did not justify such an adjustment anymore.
Kar zadeva trditev kitajskih proizvajalcev, da bi morala Komisija še naprej uporabljati prilagoditev kakovosti, ki je bila uporabljena v prvotni preiskavi, je treba poudariti, da se sodna praksa [14], na katero so se kitajski izvozniki sklicevali v svojih predložitvah, nanaša na spremembo metodologije za izračun stopnje dampinga pri primerjavi izvozne cene in normalne vrednosti v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe (tj. preiskovalni organ je v prvotni preiskavi uporabil metodo „input“, pri pregledu pa „metodo preostale vrednosti“).
Finally, regarding the claim of Chinese producers that the Commission should have continued to apply the quality adjustment that was applied in the original investigation, it should be pointed out that the case law [14] referred to by Chinese exporters in their submission concerns a change in the methodology for calculating the dumping margin when comparing the export price and the normal value pursuant to Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation (i.e. the investigating authority used the ‘input method’ in the initial investigation and the ‘residual method’ in the review).
Zato se stanje znatno razlikuje od zadevnega primera, v katerem Komisija ni spremenila metodologije glede na prvotno preiskavo.
Therefore, the situation differs substantially from the case at hand in which the Commission did not change the methodology compared to the original investigation.
Namesto tega je ustrezno upoštevala spremembo okoliščin med prvotno preiskavo in pregledom, zaradi katere uporaba prilagoditve kakovosti ni bila več upravičena.
Rather, it duly took account of the changed circumstances between the original investigation and the review which no longer justified the application of a quality adjustment.
Zato je Komisija zavrnila trditve kitajskih proizvajalcev iz uvodne izjave 99 in potrdila svojo odločitev, da pri tem pregledu ne bo uporabila prilagoditve kakovosti.
Accordingly, the Commission rejected the claims made by the Chinese producers mentioned in recital 99 and confirmed its decision not to apply the quality adjustment in this review.
Med zaslišanjem pred službami Komisije po dodatnem razkritju so kitajski organi trdili, da kitajski proizvajalci že nekaj časa uporabljajo posebno formulo za steklena vlakna C-Glass, ki se razlikuje od formule za steklena vlakna, odporne proti bazičnim snovem, ki se široko uporablja v Uniji, in da bi bilo treba zato ohraniti prilagoditev kakovosti.
In a hearing with the Commission's services after the additional disclosure, the Chinese authorities submitted that for quite a long time the Chinese producers have been using a special fiberglass formula, C-Glass, which is different than alkali-resistant fiberglass formula widely used in the Union, claiming, therefore, that the quality adjustment should be maintained.
Prvič, Komisija je ugotovila, da je bila ta pripomba podana po roku za predložitev pripomb k dodatnemu razkritju.
First, the Commission observed that this comment was made after the deadline for comments to the additional disclosure.
Drugič, ta trditev ni bila podprta z dokazi o sedanji ravni kakovosti kitajskih tkanin z odprto mrežno strukturo ali kakršnimi koli dokazi o tem, kakšen je delež uporabe steklenih vlaken C-Glass v primerjavi z uporabo drugih vrst steklenih vlaken pri proizvajalcih tkanin z odprto mrežno strukturo v LRK.Tretjič, zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov v LRK ni bilo mogoče pridobiti in preveriti take trditve pri zadevnih proizvajalcih izvoznikih, zato je morala Komisija uporabiti razpoložljiva dejstva.
Second, this claim was not substantiated by evidence about the current level of the quality of the Chinese open mesh or any evidence that would show what is the proportion of the use of C-Glass as compared to the use of other fiberglass types by open mesh fabrics producers in the PRC.Third, in the absence of cooperation from exporting producers in the PRC, it was not possible to obtain and verify such a claim with the exporting producers concerned, so the Commission had to make use of the facts available to it.
Četrtič, ta trditev v zvezi s surovinami za proizvodnjo tkanin z odprto mrežno strukturo iz steklenih vlaken ne razveljavlja dokazov, ki podpirajo trditev vložnika, da so kitajski proizvajalci od prvotne preiskave izboljšali kakovost svojih izdelkov, vključno z njihovo odpornostjo na bazične snovi, kar je del izpolnjevanja standarda ETAG004, tj. okoliščina, zaradi katere prilagoditev kakovosti pri tem pregledu ni potrebna.
Fourth, this claim concerning the input material for the production of the open mesh fabrics of fibre glass does not invalidate the evidence supporting the applicant's claim that since the original investigation the Chinese producers had improved the quality of their products, including their alkali-resistance, which is part of compliance with ETAG004 standard, a circumstance that renders the quality adjustment not warranted in this review.
Komisija je to trditev posledično zavrnila.
Consequently, the Commission rejected this claim.

V obravnavanem obdobju se je skupni obseg uvoza iz držav razen LRK zmanjšal za 11 %, močno pa je upadel zlasti med letoma 2013 in 2014, kar je mogoče pojasniti z učinkovitostjo ukrepov proti izogibanju.
During the period considered, the overall volume of imports from countries other than the PRC decreased by 11 % with a particularly sharp drop happening between 2013 and 2014, which can be explained by the effectiveness of the anti-circumvention measures.
Medtem se je uvoz iz treh držav, ki geografsko ležijo blizu Unije – Republike Moldavije, nekdanje jugoslovanske republike Makedonije in Srbije – precej povečal in večinoma nadomestil uvoz iz vseh drugih tretjih držav.
Meanwhile, imports from three countries that are located geographically close to the Union — Republic of Moldova, the former Yugoslav Republic of Macedonia, and Serbia — have grown considerably and to a large extent replaced imports from all other third countries.
Njihov skupni tržni delež se je z le 1,5 % v letu 2013 povečal na 5,9 % v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
Their combined market share has increased from just 1,5 % in 2013 to 5,9 % in the review investigation period.
Od leta 2013 je njihova raven cen tega uvoza na splošno precej nižja od povprečne ravni cen uvoza iz drugih tretjih držav, vendar je še vedno višja od cen uvoza iz LRK.
Since 2013 their price level has in general been considerably lower than the average price level of imports from other third countries, but still higher than the prices of imports from the PRC.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
General remarks
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe proučila vse ekonomske kazalnike, ki so vplivali na položaj industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
In accordance with Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined all economic indicators having a bearing on the state of the Union industry during the period considered.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 18, se je za industrijo Unije uporabilo vzorčenje.
As mentioned in recital 18, sampling was used for the Union industry.
Komisija je za določitev škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
For the injury determination, the Commission distinguished between macroeconomic and microeconomic injury indicators.
Makroekonomske kazalnike, povezane s celotno industrijo Unije, je ocenila na podlagi informacij, ki so jih vložniki predložili v zahtevku za pregled.
The Commission evaluated macroeconomic indicators relating to the whole Union industry on the basis of information provided by the applicants in the review request.
Te makroekonomske kazalnike je Komisija skrbno preverila.
These macro indicators were duly verified by the Commission.
Od mikroekonomskih kazalnikov je na podlagi preverjenih podatkov iz izpolnjenih vprašalnikov ocenila le tiste, ki so povezani z vzorčenimi družbami.
The Commission evaluated microeconomic indicators relating only to the sampled companies on the basis of the verified data contained in the questionnaire replies.
Za oba sklopa podatkov je bilo ugotovljeno, da sta reprezentativna za gospodarski položaj industrije Unije.
Both sets of data were found to be representative of the economic situation of the Union industry.
Makroekonomski kazalniki so: proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost, izkoriščenost zmogljivosti, obseg prodaje, tržni delež, rast, zaposlenost, produktivnost, višina stopnje dampinga in okrevanje od preteklega dampinga.
The macroeconomic indicators are: production, production capacity, capacity utilisation, sales volume, market share, growth, employment, productivity, magnitude of the dumping margin and recovery from past dumping.
Mikroekonomski kazalniki so: povprečne cene na enoto, stroški na enoto, stroški dela, zaloge, dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe, donosnost naložb in zmožnost zbiranja kapitala.
The microeconomic indicators are: average unit prices, unit cost, labour costs, inventories, profitability, cash flow, investments, return on investment, and ability to raise capital.
Proti koncu postopka je več zainteresiranih strani trdilo, da analiza mikroekonomskih kazalnikov ni jasna zaradi dejstva, da v vzorcu prevladuje en vertikalno integrirani proizvajalec, večina proizvajalcev Unije pa so neintegrirani tkalci, ki surovino za steklena vlakna kupujejo na prostem trgu.
At a late stage in the proceeding, several interested parties submitted that the analysis of the microeconomic indicators was blurred by the fact that the sample was dominated by one vertically integrated producer whereas most Union producers would be non-integrated weavers which buy the glass fibres raw material on the free market.
Tkalci bi bili v zelo drugačnem in precej manj uspešnem položaju kot prevladujoči integrirani proizvajalec.
Weavers would find themselves in a very different and significantly less prosperous situation as compared to the dominant integrated producer.
Ta trditev je bila po razkritju znova podana.
This argument was resubmitted after the disclosure.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 18 in v skladu z določbami člena 17(1) osnovne uredbe vzorec predstavlja največji reprezentativni obseg proizvodnje in prodaje, ki ga je bilo mogoče ustrezno preiskati v razpoložljivem času.
As mentioned in recital 18 and in line with the provisions of Article 17(1) of the basic Regulation, the sample represents the largest representative volume of production and sales which can reasonably be investigated within the time available.
Spomniti je treba, da predstavlja približno 70 % proizvodnje in prodaje proizvajalcev Unije.
It is recalled that it represents ca.
Hkrati pa je tudi res, da je mikroekonomske kazalnike v tej preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom večinoma predložila ena od vzorčenih strani, ureditev te družbe in struktura njenih stroškov pa sta bistveno drugačni kot pri večini drugih proizvajalcev.
70 % of the production and sales made by the Union producers.
To vprašanje je podrobneje obravnavano v uvodni izjavi 28.
At the same time, however, it is true that the microeconomic indicators are, in this review investigation, to a large extent set by one of the sampled parties which has a company set-up and cost structure which is markedly different from that of most other producers.
Makroekonomski kazalniki
This issue is further addressed in recital 28.
Proizvodnja, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Macroeconomic indicators
Celotna proizvodnja Unije, proizvodna zmogljivost in izkoriščenost zmogljivosti so se v obravnavanem obdobju gibale, kot sledi v nadaljevanju.
The total Union production, production capacity and capacity utilisation developed over the period considered as follows:

Proizvodna zmogljivost (v kvadratnih metrih)
Production volume (square metres)
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
Production capacity (square metres)
Proizvodnja se je v obravnavanem obdobju po obsegu povečala za 26 %.
Capacity utilisation
V primerjavi z letom 2013 se je povečala vsako leto, rast pa je bila zlasti izrazita v obdobju 2014–2015.
During the period considered, production by volume increased by 26 %.
Da bi industrija Unije zadostila naraščajočemu povpraševanju in omogočila navedeno rast proizvodnje, je v obravnavanem obdobju proizvodno zmogljivost povečala za 24 %, najbolj v obdobju 2013–2014.
Compared to 2013, it increased each year with a particularly strong growth happening between 2014 and 2015.
Povečana proizvodnja in proizvodna zmogljivost sta bili večinoma skladni s podobno rastjo potrošnje Unije, zaradi česar je lahko industrija Unije stopnjo izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti v obravnavanem obdobju ohranjala razmeroma stabilno.
In order to meet a growing demand and enable the above-mentioned growth in production, the Union industry increased the production capacity by 24 % during the period considered with a major increase taking place between 2013 and 2014.
Obseg prodaje in tržni delež
The increased production and production capacity was broadly in line with a similar growth in the Union consumption, which allowed the Union industry to keep capacity utilisation rate relatively stable during the period considered.
Obseg prodaje in tržni delež industrije Unije sta se v obravnavanem obdobju gibala, kot sledi v nadaljevanju.
The Union industry's sales volume and market share developed over the period considered as follows:
Celotni obseg prodaje na trgu Unije (v kvadratnih metrih)
Table 6
Obseg prodaje na trgu Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 28 %.
Total sales volume in the Union market (square metres)
Povečal se je vsako leto – za 9 % v obdobju 2013–2014, za dodatnih 15 indeksnih točk v obdobju 2014–2015 ter dodatne 4 indeksne točke med letom 2015 in obdobjem preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
During the period considered, the sales volume in the Union market increased by 28 %.
Rast obsega prodaje je bila nekoliko večja od rasti potrošnje Unije v obravnavanem obdobju, kar je industriji Unije omogočilo, da je svoj tržni delež tega uvoza povečala za 4,9 odstotne točke, in sicer s 86,6 % v letu 2013 na 91,5 % v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
It increased every year — by 9 % between 2013 and 2014, by another 15 index points between 2014 and 2015 and further 4 index points between 2015 and the review investigation period.
Rast
The growth in sales volume was slightly higher than the growth in the Union consumption during the period considered and allowed the Union industry to increase its market share by 4,9 percentage points from 86,6 % in 2013 to 91,5 % in the review investigation period.
Proizvodnja in prodaja industrije Unije sta se v obravnavanem obdobju močno povečali, kar je industriji Unije omogočilo, da je v celoti izkoristila naraščanje potrošnje Unije.
During the period considered, the Union industry witnessed a strong growth of production and sales that allowed it take full advantage of the upward trend of the Union consumption.
Zaposlenost in produktivnost sta se v obravnavanem obdobju gibali, kot sledi v nadaljevanju.
Table 7
Produktivnost (v kvadratnih metrih/zaposlenega)
Number of employees
Število zaposlenih se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečalo za 21 %, pri čemer se je povečevalo vsako leto.
Productivity (square metres/employee)
Dolgoročno prizadevanje industrije Unije za prestrukturiranje že v času prvotne preiskave se je nadaljevalo in ji omogočilo, da je obseg proizvodnje povečala bolj kot število zaposlenih, zaradi česar se je na splošno povečala produktivnost, merjena kot proizvodnja (v kvadratnih metrih) na zaposlenega na leto, ki se je v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 4 %.
During the period considered, the number of employees increased by 21 %, with increases taking place every year.
