In accordance with Article 2(2) of the basic Regulation, the Commission first examined whether the total volume of domestic sales of the like product to independent customers made by the cooperating producers in the USA was representative in comparison with the total export volume from the PRC to the Union, namely whether the total volume of such domestic sales represented at least 5 % of the total volume of export sales of the product concerned to the Union.
V skladu s členom 2(2) osnovne uredbe je Komisija najprej proučila, ali je bil celoten obseg domače prodaje podobnega izdelka s strani sodelujočih proizvajalcev v ZDA neodvisnim strankam reprezentativen v primerjavi s celotnim obsegom izvoza iz LRK v Unijo, tj. ali je celoten obseg take domače prodaje predstavljal vsaj 5 % celotnega obsega izvoza zadevnega izdelka v Unijo.
The Commission also examined whether the domestic sales of the like product could be regarded as being made in the ordinary course of trade pursuant to Article 2(4) of the basic Regulation.
Komisija je tudi proučila, ali se lahko domača prodaja podobnega izdelka šteje za prodajo v običajnem poteku trgovanja v skladu s členom 2(4) osnovne uredbe.
Normal value was thus based on the actual domestic price, which was calculated as an average price of the domestic sales made during the review investigation period.
Zato je normalna vrednost temeljila na dejanski domači ceni, ki je bila izračunana kot povprečna cena domače prodaje v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
As stated in recital 15 above, the Chinese exporting producers did not cooperate in the investigation.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 15 zgoraj, kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki niso sodelovali v preiskavi.
Therefore, the export price was based on the best information available, in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Izvozna cena je torej temeljila na najboljših razpoložljivih informacijah v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe.
The CIF price at Union border was established on the basis of the statistics available on Eurostat.
Cena CIF na meji Unije je bila določena na podlagi statističnih podatkov, ki so na voljo pri Eurostatu.
Volumes imported from Chinese producers who were found not to be dumping in the original investigation (about 40 % of the Chinese imports) were not considered for the determination of the export price.
Obseg uvoza od kitajskih proizvajalcev, za katera je bilo v prvotni preiskavi ugotovljeno, da nista izvajala dampinga (približno 40 % kitajskega uvoza), se ni upošteval za določitev izvozne cene.
One interested party claimed that the volumes from Chinese producers who were found not to be dumping in the original investigation should not have been excluded from the dumping calculation because there is no provision in this sense in the basic Regulation.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da obseg uvoza kitajskih proizvajalcev, za katera je bilo v prvotni preiskavi ugotovljeno, da nista izvajala dampinga, ne bi smel biti izključen iz izračuna dampinga, ker osnovna uredba ne vsebuje določbe v zvezi s tem.
However, it is the Commission's practice [8], in application of the interpretation of the ADA provided by the WTO Dispute Settlement Body in the Beef and rice case [9], to exclude from the review companies in respect of which a de minimis dumping margin was found in the initial investigation.
Vendar pa je praksa Komisije [8], da v skladu z razlago Protidampinškega sporazuma, ki jo je zagotovil Organ za reševanje sporov pri STO v zadevi o govedini in rižu [9], iz pregleda izključi družbe, v zvezi s katerimi je bila v prvotni preiskavi ugotovljena stopnja dampinga de minimis.
Therefore, the request is rejected.
Zahteva se zato zavrne.
The Commission compared the normal value and the export price on an ex-works basis.
Komisija je normalno vrednost in izvozno ceno primerjala na podlagi franko tovarna.
Where justified by the need to ensure a fair comparison, the Commission adjusted the normal value and the export price for differences affecting prices and price comparability in accordance with Article 2(10) of the basic Regulation.
Kadar je bilo to potrebno zaradi zagotovitve poštene primerjave, je v skladu s členom 2(10) osnovne uredbe normalno vrednost in izvozno ceno prilagodila za razlike, ki so vplivale na cene in njihovo primerljivost.
Concerning domestic prices of the analogue country producer adjustments were made for domestic transportation costs and packing costs ([2 %-4 %] of the invoice value) and commissions [0,5 %-1,5 %].
V zvezi z domačimi cenami proizvajalca iz primerljive države so bile opravljene prilagoditve za stroške notranjega prevoza, stroške pakiranja ([2 %–4 %] vrednosti na računu) in provizije [0,5 %–1,5 %].
As regards export prices, the ex-works factory value was determined by deducting from the CIF price at Union border the percentage for transport, insurance, handling and other allowances, as estimated in the request for review (12,98 %).
Kar zadeva izvozne cene, je bila vrednost franko tovarna določena tako, da se je od cene CIF na meji Unije odštel delež za prevoz, zavarovanje, manipuliranje in druge popravke, kot so bili ocenjeni v zahtevku za pregled (12,98 %).
With respect to the allowances for export sales, one interested party criticised the application of Article 18 of the basic Regulation and suggested that the allowances from the analogue country producer should be used instead of the estimate contained in the request for review.
V zvezi s popravki za izvozno prodajo je ena zainteresirana stran grajala uporabo člena 18 osnovne uredbe in predlagala, naj se namesto ocene, ki jo je vseboval zahtevek za pregled, uporabijo popravki proizvajalca iz primerljive države.
However, this suggested method does not seem to be appropriate as the allowances reported by the analogue country producer refer to domestic sales in the USA and they have no relevance for the estimation of export allowances from the PRC to the Union.
Vendar se ta predlagana metoda ne zdi ustrezna, ker se popravki, ki jih je sporočil proizvajalec iz primerljive države, nanašajo na domačo prodajo v ZDA in niso relevantni za oceno popravkov izvoza iz LRK v Unijo.
Therefore, in the absence of other reliable information, the Commission relies on the estimate for export sales allowances provided in the request.
Ker torej ni drugih zanesljivih informacij, se Komisija opira na oceno za popravke izvoza iz zahtevka.
On the basis of above, the dumping margin expressed as a percentage of the free-at-Union-frontier price, before duty, was found to be 54,4 %.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega je stopnja dampinga, izražena kot odstotek cene franko meja Unije pred plačilom dajatve, znašala 54,4 %.
Notwithstanding the significant difference between the dumping margin found in the original investigation and the one resulting from the current analysis, there has been no indication of a change in the exporting behaviour from the Chinese producers.
Ne glede na bistveno razliko med stopnjo dampinga, ugotovljeno v prvotni preiskavi, in stopnjo dampinga, ki izhaja iz te analize, nič ne kaže, da bi se izvozna politika kitajskih proizvajalcev spremenila.
On the contrary, it is plausible that the reason for the difference could mainly be found in the impossibility (due to the lack of cooperation from Chinese exporting producers) to perform a detailed analysis by product type.
Nasprotno, verjetno je razlog za razliko predvsem nezmožnost (zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov), da bi se opravila podrobna analiza po vrstah izdelka.
Conclusion on dumping in the review investigation period
Sklep o dampingu v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom
The Commission found that Chinese exporting producers continued to export the product concerned to the Union at dumped prices during the review investigation period.
Komisija je ugotovila, da so kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom zadevni izdelek v Unijo še naprej izvažali po dampinških cenah.
The Commission further analysed whether there was a likelihood of continuation of dumping should the measures lapse.
Komisija je nadalje analizirala, ali obstaja verjetnost, da bi se v primeru prenehanja veljavnosti ukrepov damping nadaljeval.
When doing so, it looked into the Chinese production capacity and spare capacity, the behaviour of Chinese exporters on other markets, the situation on the domestic market of China and the attractiveness of the Union market.
Pri tem je proučila kitajsko proizvodno in prosto zmogljivost, obnašanje kitajskih izvoznikov na drugih trgih, razmere na domačem trgu Kitajske in privlačnost trga Unije.
The determination of spare capacity in China suffers from the lack of cooperation of Chinese exporting producers.
Zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je prosto zmogljivost na Kitajskem težko določiti.
In order to collect the largest amount of information possible, the Commission requested information from two Chinese exporters' associations (the China Chamber of International Commerce, ‘CCOIC’, and the China Chamber of Commerce for import and export of textiles, ‘CCCT’), whose members account for more than half of the Chinese estimated production capacity.
Da bi Komisija zbrala čim več informacij, je za informacije zaprosila dve kitajski združenji izvoznikov (kitajsko zbornico za mednarodno trgovino, „CCOIC“, in kitajsko trgovinsko zbornico za uvoz in izvoz tekstila, „CCCT“), katerih člani predstavljajo več kot polovico ocenjene kitajske proizvodne zmogljivosti.
These associations sent a detailed reply, which however could not be verified due to the lack of cooperation from the exporting producers.
Ti združenji sta poslali podroben odgovor, ki pa ga zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni bilo mogoče preveriti.
The following paragraphs expose the information provided, and compare it with the other available information (from the review request and other available sources [10]).
V naslednjih odstavkih so predstavljene zagotovljene informacije, ki so primerjane z drugimi razpoložljivimi informacijami (iz zahtevka za pregled in drugih razpoložljivih virov [10]).
According to CCOIC-CCCT, the spare capacity in China presented only a limited increase in the period 2012-RIP and could be estimated as evolving from a starting level of 150000-250000 metric tons (MT) in 2012 to a level of 200000-300000 MT in the review investigation period.
Po navedbah CCOIC-CCCT se je prosta zmogljivost na Kitajskem v obdobju 2012–OPP le nekoliko povečala, in sicer bi bilo mogoče oceniti, da se je z začetne ravni 150000–250000 metričnih ton (MT) v letu 2012 povečala na 200000–300000 MT v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
The Commission services also performed a detailed spare capacity calculation on the basis of other available information.
Službe Komisije so podroben izračun proste zmogljivosti opravile tudi na podlagi drugih razpoložljivih informacij.
The main elements of this calculation are (i) installed capacity of Chinese producers; (ii) domestic demand; (iii) exports to other countries.
Glavni elementi tega izračuna so (i) nameščena zmogljivost kitajskih proizvajalcev; (ii) domače povpraševanje; (iii) izvoz v druge države.
Concerning the Chinese domestic consumption, all interested parties seem to agree on the data contained in the request.
V zvezi s kitajsko domačo potrošnjo se zdi, da se vse zainteresirane strani strinjajo s podatki, ki jih vsebuje zahtevek.
These data project a growth of domestic demand in China in the period considered (+ 20 %, from around 900000 MT in 2012 to around 1150000 MT in 2015).
Ti podatki za obravnavano obdobje predvidevajo porast domačega povpraševanja na Kitajskem (za 20 % s približno 900000 MT v letu 2012 na približno 1150000 MT v letu 2015).
Concerning Chinese export data, the Commission considered the Chinese export statistics, showing a growth of 47 % in the period 2012-RIP.
Komisija je v zvezi s podatki o kitajskem izvozu proučila statistične podatke o kitajskem izvozu, ki za obdobje 2012–OPP kažejo 47-odstotno rast.
Finally, concerning the estimate of Chinese production capacity, according to the complainant's request, which refers to an internationally recognised sector study [11], the Chinese capacity started at more than 1600000 MT in 2012 and reached around 2400000 MT in the review investigation period.
Nazadnje, kar zadeva oceno kitajske proizvodne zmogljivosti, se je glede na zahtevek pritožnika, ki se sklicuje na mednarodno priznano študijo panoge [11], kitajska zmogljivost povečala z več kot 1600000 MT v letu 2012 na približno 2400000 MT v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
(in 1000 MT)
(v 1000 MT)
Chinese capacity [12]
Kitajska zmogljivost [12]
Domestic demand [12]
Domače povpraševanje [12]
On the basis of this calculation, the spare capacity of the Chinese producers was estimated at more than 800000 MT in the review investigation period, i.e. about seven times the total available EU market [15] and almost nine times the production volumes from EU producers (estimated at 92461 MT).
Na podlagi tega izračuna je bila prosta zmogljivost kitajskih proizvajalcev v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom ocenjena na več kot 800000 MT, kar znaša približno sedemkrat toliko kot celotni razpoložljivi trg EU [15] in skoraj devetkrat toliko kot obseg proizvodnje proizvajalcev EU (ocenjen na 92461 MT).
In conclusion, there are reasons to believe that the capacity estimation proposed by CCOIC and CCCT would be too conservative.
Skratka, obstajajo razlogi za domnevo, da je ocena zmogljivosti, ki sta jo predlagali CCOIC in CCCT, preveč konservativna.
In particular, when compared with estimates of Chinese domestic demand and exports, these studies would lead to a capacity utilisation rate above 90 % for the years 2012 and 2013, which suggests that the production capacity for those years has been largely underestimated.
Zlasti bi te študije, če se primerjajo z ocenami domačega povpraševanja in izvoza na Kitajskem, privedle do več kot 90-odstotne stopnje izkoriščenosti zmogljivosti za leti 2012 in 2013, kar kaže na to, da je bila proizvodna zmogljivost za navedeni leti močno podcenjena.
In any case, also accepting this calculation, the existing spare capacity of Chinese producers would still amount to 200000-300000 MT, which is equal or higher than the total size of the European market (around 217000 MT, of which around 98000 MT already served by Chinese products).
Vsekakor bi tudi ob sprejetju tega izračuna obstoječa prosta zmogljivost kitajskih proizvajalcev še vedno znašala 200000–300000 MT, kar je enako ali več od celotne velikosti evropskega trga (približno 217000 MT, pri čemer 98000 MT izdelkov že pride iz Kitajske).
With respect to the calculation of capacity proposed by CCOIC and CCCT, the same associations contested the conclusion that their capacity estimation would be too conservative.
Kar zadeva izračun zmogljivosti, ki sta ga predlagali CCOIC in CCCT, sta ti združenji izpodbijali sklep, da je njuna ocena zmogljivosti preveč konservativna.
In their view, in the absence of verified data both their estimate and the independent study should be considered as ‘equally unreliable’.
Po njunem mnenju bi bilo treba zaradi neobstoja preverjenih podatkov njuno oceno in neodvisno študijo šteti za „enako nezanesljivi“.
However, the estimate supplied by CCOIC and CCCT did not appear overestimated only with respect to the data contained in the independent study, but also to known or uncontested data such as domestic Chinese consumption and Chinese exports.
Vendar pa se ocena, ki sta jo predložili CCOIC in CCCT, ni zdela precenjena samo glede na podatke, ki jih je vsebovala neodvisna študija, ampak tudi glede na znane ali nesporne podatke, kot sta domača kitajska potrošnja in kitajski izvoz.
For example, with respect to the year 2012, the Chinese associations estimated a Chinese actual production of 1000000 MT.
Kitajski združenji sta na primer kitajsko dejansko proizvodnjo v letu 2012 ocenili na 1000000 MT.
However, for that year, the sum of Chinese domestic consumption (a data which is not contested by the associations) and export volumes (as extracted from the Chinese export database) amounted to 1151000 MT, i.e. 15,1 % higher than the estimated production figure.
Vendar je za navedeno leto vsota kitajske domače potrošnje (podatek, ki ga združenji ne izpodbijata) in izvoza (kot je pridobljen iz kitajske podatkovne zbirke o izvozu) znašala 1151000 MT, tj. 15,1 % več od ocenjene proizvodnje.
Therefore, in this case, the data provided by the two associations appears overly conservative as the reported production figures do not allow to sustain the calculated consumption.
V tem primeru se torej podatki, ki sta jih predložili združenji, zdijo preveč konservativni, ker navedeni podatki o proizvodnji ne omogočajo potrditve izračunane potrošnje.
Moreover, while the data collected by the Chinese associations represents only roughly half of the producers in China, the independent study was supplied by a consultancy company with 30 years of experience in the field, which professionally provides its subscribers with forecasts and estimates on the fibres market.
Poleg tega je neodvisno študijo predložila svetovalna družba s tridesetimi leti izkušenj na tem področju, ki svojim naročnikom zagotavlja strokovne napovedi in ocene na trgu vlaken, medtem ko podatki, ki sta jih zbrali kitajski združenji, obsegajo samo približno polovico proizvajalcev na Kitajskem.
Therefore, taking into account both the source of the data and the reliability of the same (also compared with what was indicated by an independent study [16]), it is not necessary to change the conclusion according to which the spare capacity calculation provided by the Chinese association would be too conservative.
Ob upoštevanju vira podatkov in njihove zanesljivosti (tudi v primerjavi s tem, kar je navedeno v neodvisni študiji [16]), torej ni treba spremeniti sklepa, v skladu s katerim je izračun proste zmogljivosti, ki sta ga predložili kitajski združenji, preveč konservativen.
Nonetheless, it should be mentioned that even accepting the proposed calculation, as described in the following paragraph, the conclusion on spare capacity would not change.
Vseeno pa je treba navesti, da se sklep o prosti zmogljivosti ne bi spremenil, tudi če bi sprejeli predlagani izračun, kot je opisan v naslednjem odstavku.
Therefore, on the basis of the calculations exposed above, it appears undeniable that the Chinese spare capacity is enormous and ranges (depending on the estimates) from a size representing 92-138 % of the size of the Union market, to around 385 %.
Na podlagi zgoraj predstavljenih izračunov se torej zdi nesporno, da je kitajska prosta zmogljivost ogromna in sega (odvisno od ocen) od 92–138 % do približno 385 % velikosti trga Unije.
If we compare the Chinese spare capacity to the part of Union market which is not yet served by Chinese products, it ranges from around 168-252 % to around 700 %.
Če kitajsko prosto zmogljivost primerjamo z delom trga Unije, ki se še ne oskrbuje s kitajskimi izdelki, sega od približno 168–252 % do približno 700 %.
Finally, the Chinese spare capacity represents from 216-324 % to 904 % of the Union production of the product under investigation in the review investigation period.
Nazadnje, kitajska prosta zmogljivost predstavlja od 216–324 % do 904 % proizvodnje izdelka v preiskavi v Uniji v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
Therefore, the Commission concluded that Chinese producers dispose of enormous spare capacity, if compared to the size of the European market.
Komisija je zato sklenila, da imajo kitajski proizvajalci ogromno prosto zmogljivost, če se primerja z velikostjo evropskega trga.
China exports significant quantities of the product concerned to third countries other than the Union, in particular to the USA, the Republic of Korea, Brazil, India and Turkey.
Kitajska izvaža velike količine zadevnega izdelka v tretje države, ki niso Unija, zlasti v ZDA, Republiko Korejo, Brazilijo, Indijo in Turčijo.
Comparison on average price levels per kg showed that the average price on the main export markets in the review investigation period was in line or below the average sale price to the Union.
Primerjava na ravni povprečne cene za kg je pokazala, da je povprečna cena na glavnih izvoznih trgih v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom znašala toliko kot povprečna prodajna cena za Unijo ali manj.
In the USA market (second to the EU in exported volumes), the average price in the RIP is slightly below the European one (1,85 USD/kg v 1,89 USD/kg), while in the Korean market (third export market for the product concerned after the EU and USA) the average price is significantly lower (1,58 USD per kg, i.e. around 16 % lower than EU prices).
Na trgu ZDA (ki je po obsegu izvoza za EU) je povprečna cena malo pod evropsko (1,85 USD/kg v primerjavi z 1,89 USD/kg), medtem ko je na korejskem trgu (tretji izvozni trg za zadevni izdelek za EU in ZDA) povprečna cena bistveno nižja (1,58 USD/kg, tj. za približno 16 % nižja od cen EU).
With respect to these findings, one interested party claimed that there are three significant export markets of Chinese goods where the average prices are above the prices to the Union market, namely Canada (1,90 USD/kg), Indonesia (2,07 USD/kg) and Brazil (1,95 USD/kg).
V zvezi s temi ugotovitvami je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da obstajajo trije pomembni izvozni trgi za kitajsko blago, na katerih so povprečne cene višje od cen za trg Unije, in sicer Kanada (1,90 USD/kg), Indonezija (2,07 USD/kg) in Brazilija (1,95 USD/kg).
With respect to this claim, it should be firstly noticed that the difference in prices is relatively small (from + 0,5 % to + 9,4 %); moreover, the size of the exports on those markets is rather limited if compared to the exports to Europe.
Kar zadeva to trditev, je treba najprej navesti, da je razlika v cenah razmeroma majhna (od + 0,5 % do + 9,4 %), poleg tega pa je obseg izvoza na navedene trge precej omejen v primerjavi z izvozom v Evropo.
Indeed, while the Union market absorbed 30,3 % of Chinese exports in the RIP, Canada represents only 3,1 % of the total and Brazil 5,1 %.
Medtem ko je trg Unije v OPP absorbiral 30,3 % kitajskega izvoza, ga je Kanada samo 3,1 %, Brazilija pa 5,1 %.
In addition to this, Indonesia, which is the country which highlights the highest difference in prices (+ 9,4 %), only represents 2 % of the Chinese exports, therefore the conclusions which can be taken from its prices are limited.
Poleg tega Indonezija, ki je država z največjo razliko v cenah (+ 9,4 %), obsega samo 2 % kitajskega izvoza, zato so sklepi, ki jih je mogoče izpeljati iz njenih cen, omejeni.
Moreover, the interested party does not mention four other export markets presenting similar volumes of imports, i.e. India (5,6 %), Turkey (4,3 %), Taiwan (2,4 %), South Africa (2,3 %).
Zainteresirana stran tudi ne navaja štirih drugih izvoznih trgov s podobnim obsegom uvoza, tj. Indije (5,6 %), Turčije (4,3 %), Tajvana (2,4 %) in Južne Afrike (2,3 %).
In all these countries the average prices were below the ones reported in the Union during the RIP, by percentages ranging from around 4 % to above 12 %.
V vseh teh državah so bile povprečne cene pod cenami, ki so bile v OPP sporočene v Uniji, in sicer za od 4 % do več kot 12 %.
Therefore, the evidence provided was not sufficient to change the conclusion with respect to the attractiveness of the Union market in terms of prices.
Zato predloženi dokazi niso zadostovali za spremembo sklepa o privlačnosti trga Unije v smislu cen.
Although this comparison cannot be considered to be conclusive due to the lack of information on the product type mix, the level of the prices on the main export market seems to indicate that the existence of dumping practices could be structural and common also to other main markets of destination of the Chinese goods.
Čeprav te primerjave zaradi pomanjkanja informacij o naboru vrst izdelka ni mogoče šteti za dokončne, se zdi, da raven cen na glavnem izvoznem trgu kaže, da bi lahko bil obstoj dampinških praks strukturiran in običajen tudi na drugih glavnih ciljnih trgih kitajskega blaga.
