In its submission, this party indicated that the price of iron ore (RMB/tonne) had decreased by 39 % over the period considered.
Nadalje, kar zadeva železovo rudo, se po pretvorbi predloženih podatkov o cenah iz renminbijev v eure/tono zdi, da so se cene železove rude v obravnavanem obdobju znižale le za približno 31 %.
Second, they claimed that the Commission's argumentation in recitals 171 to 175 of the provisional Regulation did not rebut the claim that decreasing raw material prices had led to a fall in prices for the product under investigation and that the Commission had not given proper weight to the global raw material price decrease.
Ob zadržani predpostavki, da delež železove rude predstavlja 35 % stroškov v zadevnih državah, bi znižanje cen surovin povzročilo le manj kot približno 11-odstotno znižanje cen, medtem ko so se uvozne cene iz zadevnih držav, kot je bilo razloženo zgoraj, znižale za 20 %.
In this regard, it is first recalled that import prices from the countries concerned decreased on average by 20 % over the period considered, which is higher than the decrease in cost of production for the Union industry.
Glede druge trditve pa je treba opozoriti, da Komisija ni izločila dejstva, da je znižanje cen surovin vplivalo na cene izdelka v preiskavi v obravnavanem obdobju.
Further, as far as iron ore is concerned and after conversion of the submitted price information from RMB to EUR/tonne, it appears that iron ore prices decreased only by ca 31 % over the period considered.
Je pa trdila, da cena izdelka v preiskavi v Uniji ni sledila le svetovnemu gibanju cen, ki je v osnovi kazalo razvoj cen surovin.
Assuming conservatively that the share of iron ore would account for 35 % of the costs in the countries concerned, the raw material price decrease could only lead to less than ca 11 % price decrease, when as explained above, import prices from the countries concerned decreased by 20 %.
Nadalje je Komisija analizirala druge dejavnike, ki so vplivali na ceno, tj. regionalne razlike in presežne zmogljivosti.
As far as the second claim is concerned, it is worth noting that the Commission did not exclude the fact that the decrease in raw material prices affected the price of the product under investigation during the period considered.
Navedla je tudi, da če se cena zadevnega izdelka ne bi znižala bolj, kot so se znižale cene surovin, bi konkurenca na trgu ostala poštena in bi industrija Unije lahko izkoristila prednosti znižanja stroškov ter spet postala dobičkonosna.
However, it argued that the price of the product under investigation in the Union did not follow a sole worldwide price trend basically reflecting the evolution of raw material prices.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je treba navedene trditve zavrniti.
Further, the Commission analysed other factors having a bearing on prices namely regional differences and excess capacities.
Po dokončnem razkritju so nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki ponovno predložili pripombe glede tega vprašanja.
It also indicated that if the price of the product concerned had not decreased more than the decrease in raw material prices, competition conditions on the market would have remained fair and the Union industry would have been able to reap the benefits of a reduction in costs and reach profitability again.
Vendar niso zagotovili nobenih novih argumentov.
On the basis of the above, the abovementioned claims have to be rejected.
Uvoz industrije Unije
Certain exporting producers returned to this issue in their comments to the definitive disclosure.
Zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je Komisija v oceni vzročne zveze podcenila pomembnost uvoza zadevnega izdelka s strani industrije Unije, zaradi česar je ocena vzročne zveze nepopolna in netočna.
However, no new arguments were raised.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 104 zgoraj, je bil uvoz s strani industrije Unije iz zadevnih držav v obravnavanem obdobju stabilen in je predstavljal manj kot 1 % skupnega prihodka od prodaje industrije Unije.
Imports by the Union industry
Nadalje, in kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 191 začasne uredbe, so te nakupe izvedle podružnice za trgovanje, ki so lahko hladno valjane ploščate izdelke iz jekla kupile od več virov.
An interested party claimed that the imports of the product concerned by the Union industry were not given enough weight in the Commission's causation assessment leading to an incomplete and inaccurate assessment of causation.
Cilj teh podružnic za trgovanje je ponuditi najcenejši možni material, da bi tako ohranile svoje poslovne odnose.
As indicated in recital 104 above, imports from the countries concerned by the Union industry were stable in the period considered and represented less than 1 % of the total sales turnover of the Union industry.
Glede na majhen obseg in dejstvo, da se v obravnavanem obdobju ni povečal, se šteje, da je bilo uvozu iz zadevnih držav namenjene dovolj pozornosti.
Further and as indicated in recital 191 of the provisional Regulation, these purchases were made by trading arms free to purchase cold-rolled flat steel products from multiple sources.
Zato je treba trditev zavrniti.
These trading arms are driven to offer the cheapest material possible in order to maintain their commercial relationships.
Nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki so po dokončnem razkritju ponovno predložili pripombe glede tega vprašanja in trdili, da je Komisija naknadno preučila vrednosti, da bi tako upravičila ugotovitev škode s ponovno oceno deleža, ki ga je imel uvoz v skupni prodaji.
In view of the low volumes involved and the fact that such volumes have not increased over the period considered, it is considered that imports from the countries concerned have been given sufficient weight.
Komisija dejansko ni naknadno preučila vrednosti, temveč je dala natančnejšo oceno (manj kot 1 %) kot v začasni uredbi, kjer je bil razpon naveden širše (od 0 % do 5 %).
The claim has therefore to be rejected.
Obstoj predhodno veljavnega sporazuma o trgovini z nekaterimi izdelki iz jekla med Rusijo in Unijo
Certain exporting producers returned to this issue in their comments which followed the definitive disclosure and argued that the Commission had reinterpreted the numbers to justify the finding of injury by reassessing the ratio that imports represented in percentage of total sales.
Iste zainteresirane strani so po začasnem razkritju in tudi po dokončnem razkritju ponovile argument, da je ruski uvoz ostal znotraj neškodljivih kvot, določenih v predhodno veljavnem sporazumu o trgovini z nekaterimi izdelki iz jekla med Rusijo in Unijo.
As a matter of fact, the Commission did not reinterpret the numbers but rather gave a more precise figure (less than 1 %) than the wider range stated in the provisional Regulation (0 %-5 %).
Še zlasti je nasprotovala sklepu, da je raven kvot „previsoka“, in navedla, da se obseg izdelka v tej preiskavi in kategorija „drugi ploščato valjani izdelki“ (kot so opredeljeni v sporazumih) precej prekrivata.
Existence of a previously applicable agreement on trade in certain steel products between Russia and the Union
V zvezi s tem je treba spomniti, da je zgoraj omenjen sporazum prenehal veljati pred obdobjem preiskave, tj. 22. avgusta 2012, po pristopu Ruske federacije k Svetovni trgovinski organizaciji (STO).
The same interested parties, after provisional disclosure and also after definitive disclosure, repeated the argument that Russian imports remained within the non-injurious quotas set in the previously applicable agreement on trade in certain steel products between Russia and the Union.
Nadalje je treba opozoriti, da v sporazumu niso bile predvidene določbe o indeksaciji uvoznih kvot v skladu z dejanskim letnim spreminjanjem povpraševanja/potrošnje.
In particular, it disagreed with the conclusion that the level of the quota was ‘too high’ and indicated that there was a significant overlap between the product scope of this investigation and the category of ‘other flat-rolled products’ (as defined in the agreements).
Drugače rečeno, krčenje trga ne bi privedlo do ustrezne prilagoditve kvot.
In this regard, it is reminded that the abovementioned agreement came to an end before the investigation period, i.e. on 22 August 2012 following the accession of the Russian Federation to the World Trade Organisation (WTO).
Celo več, člen 10 zgoraj omenjenega sporazuma določa, da je treba količine v vsaki skupini izdelkov z vsako letno obnovitvijo povečati za 2,5 %.
Further it is noted that the agreement did not foresee any provision pertaining to the indexation of the import quota in line with the actual yearly evolution of demand/consumption.
Zato ni presenetljivo, da kvota za skupino izdelkov, ki vključuje izdelke v tej preiskavi, v obdobju veljavnosti sporazuma nikoli ni bila dosežena.
In other words, a shrinking market would not result in a corresponding adaption of the quotas.
Glede na zgoraj navedeno se zdi, da kvote, navedene v prilogah k takim letnim sporazumom, ne ustrezajo stvarnosti na trgu in spreminjanju potrošnje, saj se je kvota samodejno povišala ne glede na razvoj potrošnje/povpraševanja.
Even more strongly so, Article 10 of the abovementioned agreement provided that quantities should be increased by 2,5 % in every product group with each yearly renewal.
Nadalje, ker kvota v času veljavnosti sporazuma nikoli ni bila dosežena, je mogoče šteti, da je bila dejansko „previsoka“, ne samo v času veljavnosti sporazuma, ampak tudi v primerjavi s spreminjanjem potrošnje v obravnavanem obdobju.
It is therefore not surprising that the quota for the product group including the products covered by this investigation was never reached over the period of existence of the agreement.
Posledično je vsaka primerjava ravni take kvote, ki se od 22. avgusta 2012 ni več uporabljala, in ravni uvoza iz Rusije v obravnavanem obdobju brezpredmetna.
In the light of the above, it appears that the quotas mentioned in the annexes to such yearly agreements are disconnected from market reality and evolution of consumption as the quota was automatically adjusted upward regardless of the evolution of consumption/demand.
Zato je treba to trditev zavrniti.
Further, as the quota was never exhausted over the period of the existence of the agreement, it can be considered that such quota was indeed ‘too high’ not only for the period of existence of the agreements but also when compared with the development of consumption in the period considered.
Dodatno se je analiziralo domnevno prekrivanje obsega izdelkov v tej preiskavi in ustreznih „drugih ploščato valjanih izdelkov“.
As a consequence, any comparison between the level of such quota, which was not applicable anymore from 22 August 2012 onwards and the level of imports from Russia during the period considered is meaningless.
Najprej se je zdelo, da se obseg izdelkov sedanje preiskave nanaša tudi na izdelke, ki spadajo v skupino izdelkov „legirana hladno valjana in prevlečena pločevina“.
This claim has therefore to be rejected.
Drugič, zdelo se je, da jih od 42 oznak TARIC, ki jih krije sporazum glede zgoraj omenjenih skupin izdelkov, le sedem popolnoma ustreza oznakam, navedenim v začasni uredbi (7209169000, 7209179000, 7209189100, 7209269000, 7209279000, 7209289000 in 7225508000).
The alleged overlap between the product scope of this investigation and the corresponding ‘other flat-rolled products’ was further analysed.
Posledično je 35 oznak TARIC, navedenih v prilogi k sporazumu, izločenih iz obsega izdelkov te preiskave.
It first appeared that the product scope of the current investigation also concerned products falling in the ‘alloyed cold-rolled and coated sheets’ product group.
Po drugi strani pa se na približno 10 oznak TARIC, na katere se nanaša ta preiskava, ni nanašal zgoraj omenjeni sporazum.
Second, it appeared that out of the 42 Taric codes covered by the agreement under the abovementioned product groups, only seven match perfectly the codes mentioned in the provisional Regulation (7209169000, 7209179000, 7209189100, 7209269000, 7209279000, 7209289000 and 7225508000).
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega se zdi, da dejanski dokazi ne podpirajo domnevnega prekrivanja, zato je treba navedene trditve zavrniti.
As a consequence 35 Taric codes reported in the Annex to the agreement are excluded from the product scope of this investigation.
Presežna zmogljivost industrije Unije
On the other hand, approximately 10 Taric codes covered by this investigation were not covered by the abovementioned agreement.
Druga zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je na industrijo Unije bistveno vplivala njena presežna zmogljivost, posledica katere so bili presežna ponudba, višji stroški in manjši dobiček pa tudi zaustavitev nadaljnjih naložb.
On the basis of the above, it appears that the alleged overlap is not supported by factual evidence and such allegations have to be rejected.
Nadalje je navajala, da bi brez uvoza izkoriščenost zmogljivosti presegla le 72 %.
Overcapacity of the Union industry
Najprej je treba spomniti, da je industrija Unije svojo zmogljivost v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za 3 %, da bi se tako prilagodila spreminjajočim se razmeram na svetovnem trgu.
Another interested party argued that the Union industry was materially affected by its overcapacity which induced oversupply, increased costs and reduced profits but also deterred further investments.
Čeprav stopnje izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju ni mogoče šteti za zadovoljivo in čeprav ni sporno, da so nizke stopnje izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti morda vplivale na uspešnost industrije, pa je treba opozoriti, da je bila industrija Unije leta 2011, ko je njena nameščena zmogljivost presegala tisto iz obdobja preiskave in je bila njena izkoriščenost manjša kot v obdobju preiskave, še vedno dobičkonosna.
It further indicated that in the absence of imports, capacity utilisation would only have exceeded 72 %.
Zato in glede na izboljšanje izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti, povezano z zmanjšanjem zmogljivosti, se sklene, da ravni izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti ni mogoče šteti za element, ki prekinja vzročno zvezo.
It is first recalled that the Union industry reduced its capacity by 3 % over the period considered in order to adapt to the changing global market situation.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav
While the capacity utilisation rate achieved by the Union industry over the period considered cannot be regarded as satisfactory and it is not disputed that low capacity utilisation levels may have a bearing on the performance of an industry, it is noted that the Union industry was still profitable in 2011 when its installed capacity exceeded that of the investigation period and its utilisation was below that of the investigation period.
Več strani je trdilo, da Komisija ni ustrezno presodila vpliva uvoza iz tretjih držav.
Therefore, and in view of the improvement of the capacity utilisation linked to the capacity reduction, it is concluded that the level of capacity utilisation cannot be regarded as an element breaking the causal link.
Trdile so, da je bila raven njihovega uvoza podobna ravni ruskega uvoza, za uvoz iz Irana in Ukrajine pa so veljale nižje cene kot za uvoz iz Rusije in Kitajske.
Imports from third countries
Poleg tega, in kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 105, je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da uvoz iz Ukrajine, Indije in Irana, ki je imel v obravnavanem obdobju 5,4-odstotni tržni delež, ob primerjavi z zmanjšanjem tržnega deleža industrije Unije ni bil ustrezno ocenjen.
Several parties claimed that the Commission had not assessed properly the impact of imports from third countries.
V zvezi s tem je treba najprej opozoriti, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 104, da se je tržni delež uvoza iz tretjih držav v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal z 10,9 % na 9,1 % (z 854281 na 647710 ton), medtem ko se je samo tržni delež uvoza iz Rusije povečal s 5,9 % na 9,8 % (in s 466165 na 697661 ton).
They claimed that the level of their imports was close to the level of Russian imports, imports from Iran and Ukraine were made at prices lower than imports from Russia and China.
Iz zgoraj navedenega izhaja, da se je uvoz iz Rusije gibal v nasprotno smer kot uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav.
Additionally and as indicated in recital 105, one interested party claimed that the imports from Ukraine, India and Iran accounting for 5,4 % market share in the period considered had not been properly assessed when compared with the decrease in market share of the Union industry.
Opozoriti je treba tudi, da je bil v tej preiskavi uvoz iz Rusije združen z uvozom s Kitajske in da se je tržni delež zadevnih držav povečal s 14,3 % leta 2011 na 20,1 % v obdobju preiskave.
In this regard, it is first noted that, as indicated in recital 104, the market share of imports from third countries has decreased from 10,9 % to 9,1 % (from 854281 to 647710 tonnes) over the period considered while the market share of imports from Russia, alone, have increased from 5,9 % to 9,8 % (and from 466165 to 697661 tonnes).
Drugič, čeprav ni sporno, da so bile povprečne cene uvoza iz Irana in Ukrajine dejansko nižje od povprečnih cen zadevnih držav, pa je treba opozoriti, da je raven povprečnih cen takega uvoza spodkopavala uvoz iz zadevnih držav v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju in da se v tem obdobju cene niso bistveno spremenile.
It follows from the above that imports from Russia and from other third countries followed opposite trends.
Glede na to, da se je njihov tržni delež le rahlo povečal, in sicer z 2,9 % na 3,4 %, ni verjetno, da bi prekinil vzročno zvezo.
It is also noted that in the framework of this investigation, imports from Russia have been cumulated with imports from China and that the market share of the countries concerned have increased from 14,3 % in 2011 to 20,1 % in the investigation period.
Tretjič, in kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 106, bi bilo treba tržni delež Ukrajine, Indije in Irana analizirati v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju, ne pa se osredotočiti zgolj na določeno enoletno obdobje.
Second, while it is not disputed that imports from Iran and Ukraine were indeed made at average prices lower than the average prices of the countries concerned, it is noted that the average price level of such imports undercut imports from the countries concerned over the whole period considered and that there was no significant change in their price behaviour over this period.
Iz tega sledi, da se je tržni delež uvoza iz Indije, Irana in Ukrajine v obravnavanem obdobju res rahlo povečal s 4 % na 5,4 %, medtem ko se je uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav (vključno z zgoraj navedenimi) v splošnem zmanjšal z 10,9 % na 9,1 %.
As their market share only slightly increased from 2,9 % to 3,4 %, it is unlikely that such imports break the causal link.
Iz zgoraj navedenega sledi, da zmanjšanja tržnega deleža industrije Unije (– 4 %) ni mogoče primerjati s tržnim deležem zgoraj omenjenih držav zgolj v obravnavanem obdobju in da povečanja tržnega deleža ni mogoče šteti za dovolj pomembnega, da bi prekinilo vzročno zvezo.
Third and as indicated in recital 106, the market share of Ukraine, India and Iran should be analysed over the period considered and not by focusing on a specific one-year period.
Po dokončnem razkritju so nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki trdili, da je uvoz iz vseh tretjih držav, če ga ocenimo v absolutnem smislu, primerljiv z uvozom iz Rusije, zato bi bilo treba tudi tak uvoz obravnavati kot škodljiv.
It follows that the market share held by imports from India, Iran and Ukraine has indeed increased slightly from 4 % to 5,4 % over the period considered while imports from other third countries (including the ones listed above) have in general decreased from 10,9 % to 9,1 %.
V zvezi s tem je treba, prvič, opozoriti na to, da so bili pogoji za kumulativno oceno ruskega in kitajskega uvoza, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah od 107 do 111 začasne uredbe, izpolnjeni.
It follows from the above that the decrease in market share for the Union industry (– 4 %) cannot be compared with the market share held by the countries mentioned above in the investigation period only and that the market share increase cannot be regarded as significant enough to break the causal link.
Zato ruskega uvoza ne bi smeli analizirati ločeno.
After definitive disclosure, certain exporting producers claimed that, when assessed in absolute terms, imports from all third countries were comparable to imports from Russia and that they should be equally regarded as being injurious.
Drugič, opozoriti je treba tudi, da je res, da je treba uvoz analizirati glede na absolutne vrednosti, vendar je treba analizirati tudi gibanje takih absolutnih vrednosti.
In this regard, it is first noted that as indicated in recitals 107 to 111 of the provisional Regulation, the conditions to assess Russian and Chinese imports cumulatively were fulfilled.
V zvezi s tem, in kot je navedeno zgoraj, je treba opozoriti, da se je uvoz iz vseh tretjih držav v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 206571 ton, medtem ko se je uvoz iz Rusije povečal za 231496 ton.
Therefore, Russian imports should not be analysed in isolation.
Tudi uvoz iz zadevnih držav, ocenjen kumulativno, se je gibal podobno in povečal za 312224 ton.
Second, it is also noted that, while the analysis of imports should indeed be made when looking at absolute figures, the evolution of such absolute figures should also be analysed.
Kot je razvidno iz besedila zgoraj, je bil uvoz iz vseh tretjih držav v obravnavanem obdobju veliko manjši od uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
In this regard and as indicated above, it is noted that imports from all third countries have decreased by 206571 tonnes over the period considered while imports from Russia increased by 231496 tonnes.
Poleg tega je bil trend tega uvoza obraten od trenda ruskega uvoza ali uvoza iz zadevnih držav.
Imports from the countries concerned assessed cumulatively followed a similar trend and increased by 312224 tonnes.
To potrjuje, da je bil uvoz iz tretjih držav pravilno analiziran, ob upoštevanju trendov njegovega obsega, cene in tržnega deleža.
As depicted above, imports from all third countries were much lower than imports from the countries concerned in the period considered.
Trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
They have also followed an opposite trend to that of Russian imports or imports from the countries concerned.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
On this basis, it is confirmed that imports from third countries were correctly analysed taking into account their volume, price and market share trends.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega in ker ni bilo drugih pripomb, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav od 202 do 204 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
The claim was therefore rejected.
INTERES UNIJE
Conclusion on causation
Interes industrije Unije
On the basis of the above and in the absence of any other comments, the conclusions set out in recitals 202 to 204 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Pripomb v zvezi z interesom industrije Unije ni bilo, zato se sklep iz uvodne izjave 209 začasne uredbe potrdi.
UNION INTEREST
Interes uvoznikov in uporabnikov
Interest of the Union industry
Po začasnem razkritju je več strani trdilo, da uvedba protidampinških ukrepov proti zadevnima državama ne bi bila v interesu Unije.
In the absence of any comments regarding the interest of the Union industry, the conclusion reached in recital 209 of the provisional Regulation is confirmed.
Navedena trditev je bila po dokončnem razkritju ponovljena.
Interest of importers and users
Trdile so, da bi bili protidampinški ukrepi v nasprotju z interesi malih uporabnikov, ker bodo imeli protikonkurenčni učinek (proizvajalci Unije bodo zvišali svoje cene) in ker proizvajalci Unije ne proizvajajo nekaterih vrst hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla.
Following provisional disclosure, several parties claimed that it would not be in the Union interest to impose anti-dumping measures against the countries concerned.
Te trditve so bile obravnavane že v uvodnih izjavah od 220 do 223 začasne uredbe, po začasnem ali dokončnem razkritju pa zanje niso bile predložene bistvene dodatne informacije.
That claim was reiterated after definitive disclosure.
Argument se zato zavrne.
