Nobeden od znanih proizvajalcev izvoznikov s sedežem v LRK ni sodeloval v preiskavi in zaprosil za morebitno izvzetje iz veljavnih razširjenih ukrepov tako, da bi izpolnil poslani vprašalnik.
Cooperation
Družba Noblelift je, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 18, predložila pripombe po začetku, vendar ni izpolnila vprašalnika in je bila opredeljena za nesodelujočo na podlagi člena 18 osnovne uredbe.
None of the known exporting producers established in the PRC cooperated in the investigation and requested exemption from any possible extension of the measures in force by replying to the questionnaire sent.
Zato Komisija ni mogla neposredno pri viru preveriti narave morebitnega izogibanja.
However, as explained in recital 18, Noblelift submitted comments following initiation but did not reply to the questionnaire and was found non-cooperating on the basis of Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Zaradi tega je bilo treba do ugotovitev v zvezi z oceno morebitnega izogibanja, kot je podrobno opisano v uvodni izjavi 24, priti na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev v skladu s členom 18 osnovne uredbe.
Therefore, the Commission was not in a position to verify directly at the source the nature of the possible circumvention.
Glede na navedeno so bile ugotovitve oblikovane na podlagi informacij, pridobljenih od sodelujočih uvoznikov, iz statistike Eurostata in zahtevka.
Accordingly, findings in respect of the assessment of possible circumvention as detailed in recital 24 had to be made on the basis of the facts available in accordance with Article 18 of the basic Regulation.
Kjer je bilo to ustrezno, so bile upoštevane tudi pripombe, ki jih predložil proizvajalec izvoznik, ki se je javil.
In that perspective, findings were made on the basis of information collected from cooperating importers, Eurostat statistics and the request.
Sprememba vzorca trgovanja
The comments submitted by the exporting producer that came forward were also considered, where appropriate.
Zaradi nesodelovanja proizvajalcev izvoznikov je bil obseg uvoza določen na podlagi statistike Eurostata in informacij, ki so jih zagotovili trije sodelujoči uvozniki in vložniki.
Change in the pattern of trade
Poleg tega podatki, uporabljeni za analiziranje spremembe vzorca trgovanja, temeljijo na uvozu dokončanih vozičkov.
Due to the non-cooperation of the exporting producers, import volumes were established on the basis of Eurostat statistics and information provided by the three cooperating importers and the applicants.
Veljavni protidampinški ukrepi zajemajo ročne vozičke za premeščanje palet in njihove osnovne dele (tj. šasijo in hidravliko).
Furthermore, data used for analysing the change in pattern of trade are based on imports of the complete trucks.
Po podatkih Eurostata je uvoz tako imenovanih osnovnih delov iz LRK v Unijo zanemarljiv ali ga sploh ni.
The anti-dumping measures in force cover both hand pallet trucks and their essential parts (i.e. chassis and hydraulics).
Nazadnje, oznaka TARIC, pod katero se je uvažal izdelek v preiskavi, je vključevala tudi uvoz drugih vrst vozičkov, tj. vozičkov za tehtanje, dvigalnih naprav, nakladalnikov in škarjastih dvigal, ki se razlikujejo od zadevnega izdelka.
According to Eurostat, there are negligible or no imports of the so-called essential parts from the PRC to the Union.
V spodnji preglednici so navedene količine uvoza ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet in „drugih vozičkov“, vključno z izdelkom v preiskavi, na podlagi podatkov Eurostata v obdobju preiskave.
Last, the TARIC code, under which the product under investigation was imported, included also imports of other types of trucks, i.e. weighing trucks, high lifters, stackers and scissor lifts that are different than the product concerned.

Index
Ti podatki kažejo, da se je uvoz ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet v obdobju preiskave zmanjšal za več kot 80 %.
Other trucks
Največje zmanjšanje je bilo v obdobju 2012 – 2013 (za 60 %).
On this basis, imports of hand pallet trucks have dropped by more than 80 % during the investigation period.
Ta trend se je v naslednjih letih nadaljeval, vendar je bil manj izrazit.
The most significant decrease occurred between 2012 and 2013 (by 60 %).
Do zmanjšanja leta 2013 je prišlo po zaključku vmesnega pregleda iz uvodne izjave 5 aprila 2013, posledica tega zmanjšanja pa je bilo zvišanje protidampinške dajatve na ročne vozičke za premeščanje palet iz LRK na enotno dajatev na ravni države v višini 70,8 %.
This trend continued in the following years, however at a less pronounced extent.
V nasprotju s tem se je uvoz „drugih vozičkov“, vključno z izdelkom v preiskavi, leta 2014 in v obdobju poročanja povečal za več kot 50 % v primerjavi z začetkom obdobja preiskave.
The drop in 2013 occurred after the conclusion of the interim review in April 2013 referred to recital 5 above and which resulted in an increase of the anti-dumping duty on hand pallet trucks from the PRC to a single countrywide duty of 70,8 %.
Do te spremembe vzorca trgovanja je prišlo bolj ali manj sočasno z znatnim zmanjšanjem uvoza ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet.
In contrast, imports of ‘other trucks’ including the product under investigation increased in 2014 and in the reporting period by more than 50 % as compared to the beginning of the investigation period.
Čeprav ni bilo mogoče opredeliti uvoza izdelka v preiskavi na podlagi podatkov Eurostata, so informacije, zbrane med preiskavo, jasno kazale, da bi bilo to povečanje uvoza „drugih vozičkov“ dejansko mogoče pripisati povečanju uvoza izdelka v preiskavi.
This change in the pattern of trade occurred largely in parallel to the significant decrease in imports of hand pallet trucks.
Prvič, znatno zmanjšanje uvoza ročnih vozičkov za premeščanja palet in znatno povečanje uvoza „drugih vozičkov“, vključno z izdelkom v preiskavi, sta sovpadala z znatnim zvišanjem protidampinške dajatve leta 2013.
Although it was not possible to identify the imports of the product under investigation on the basis of Eurostat, the information collected during the investigation showed strong indications that this increase of imports of ‘other trucks’ could in fact be attributed to an increase of imports of the product under investigation.
Drugič, vložniki so predložili informacije, da so številni uvozniki kmalu po zvišanju protidampinške dajatve pri carinskih organih v Nemčiji in na Češkem vložili zahtevke za zavezujoče tarifne informacije, s katerimi so zahtevali, da se izdelek v preiskavi uvrsti v oznako TARIC za „druge vozičke“, za katere se ne uporablja protidampinška dajatev.
Firstly, the considerable decrease of imports of hand pallet trucks and the substantial increase of imports of ‘other trucks’ including the product under investigation coincided with the significant increase of the anti-dumping duty in 2013.
Vložitev takih zahtevkov takoj po zvišanju protidampinških dajatev kaže, da je bil njihov namen zgolj izogibanje višjim protidampinškim dajatvam.
Secondly, the applicants provided information that shortly after the increase of the anti-dumping duty, a number of importers submitted applications to the customs authorities in Germany and in Czech Republic for binding tariff information requesting that the product under investigation falls within the TARIC code for ‘other trucks’ not subject to the anti-dumping duty.
Tretjič, ker statistika Eurostata ne ločuje uvoza izdelka v preiskavi, je analiza spremembe vzorca trgovanja temeljila tudi na informacijah, ki so jih predložili trije sodelujoči uvozniki.
The submission of such requests immediately after the increase of the anti-dumping duties suggests that they were made merely in order to avoid the higher anti-dumping duties.
Trije sodelujoči uvozniki so predstavljali od 2 do 7 % uvoza izdelka v preiskavi in drugih vozičkov glede na celotni uvoz „drugih vozičkov“, zabeleženih v podatkih Eurostata, ter od 1 do 6 % celotnega uvoza ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet in „drugih vozičkov“ v obdobju poročanja.
Thirdly, since Eurostat statistics do not separate imports of the product under investigation, the analysis on the change in the pattern of trade was also based on the information provided by the three cooperating importers.
Uvoz teh uvoznikov se je v obdobju preiskave gibal na naslednji način:
The three cooperating importers represented between 2 % and 7 % of the imports of the product under investigation and other trucks compared to the total ‘other trucks’ recorded in Eurostat and between 1 % and 6 % of the total imports of hand pallet trucks and ‘other trucks’ during the reporting period.
Preglednica 2
Imports of these importers developed as follows during the investigation period:

Source: importers' questionnaire reply
Informacije, ki so jih predložili sodelujoči uvozniki, so potrdile, da so uvozniki v obdobju preiskave povečali nabavo izdelka v preiskavi iz LRK, medtem ko se je hkrati zmanjšal uvoz ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet.
Imports of cooperating importers from the PRC (index)
Čeprav je uvoz izdelka v preiskavi potekal že v letih 2011 in 2012 po razširitvi ukrepov na podlagi ugotovitev pregleda zaradi izteka ukrepa iz uvodne izjave 4, se je znatneje povečal leta 2013 po zvišanju stopnje protidampinške dajatve.
The information provided by the cooperating importers confirmed that importers increased the purchases of the product under investigation from the PRC during the investigation period, while imports of hand pallet trucks decreased in parallel.
Do največjega povečanja je prišlo leta 2014, ko je uvoz dosegel ravni, ki so močno presegale raven iz leta 2011, nato pa se je v obdobju poročanja še dodatno povečal.
While imports of the product under investigation were already taking place in 2011 and 2012 following the extension of the measures based on the findings of the expiry review referred to in recital 4 above they increased more significantly in 2013, after the increase of the anti-dumping duty rate.
Obenem uvoza ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet leta 2014 in v obdobju preiskave skoraj ni bilo.
The most considerable increase occurred in 2014 were imports reached levels going far beyond the level in 2011 and increased even further in the reporting period.
Enak trend je bilo mogoče opaziti pri podatkih Eurostata, ki kažejo, da se je uvoz „drugih vozičkov“ prav tako najbolj povečal leta 2014.
In parallel, imports of hand pallet trucks nearly disappeared in 2014 and in the investigation period.
V nasprotju s tem so se količine uvoza „drugih vozičkov“, razen izdelka v preiskavi, le rahlo spremenile (za 3 % v obdobju preiskave) in njihov skupni delež v enotah je ostal zelo majhen v primerjavi z uvozom izdelka v preiskavi (uvodna izjava 33).
This same trend could be observed in Eurostat where the most significant increase in imports of ‘other trucks’ occurred also in 2014.
Četrtič, kot je ugotovljeno v uvodnih izjavah od 52 do 59, ima izdelek v preiskavi enake osnovne lastnosti in končne uporabe kot ročni vozički za premeščanje palet in je z njimi zamenljiv, medtem ko se drugi vozički uporabljajo za druge namene in niso zamenljivi z ročnimi vozički za premeščanje palet.
In contrast, import volumes of ‘other trucks’ excluding the product under investigation barely changed (by 3 % during the investigation period) and their overall level in units remained very low in comparison to imports of the product under investigation (recital 33 above).
Na podlagi tega je bilo ugotovljeno, da je bilo povečanje uvoza „drugih vozičkov“, kot ga je zabeležil Eurostat, posledica povečanja uvoza izdelka v preiskavi.
Fourth, as established under recitals 52 to 59 below, the product under investigation has the same basic characteristics and end-uses as hand pallet trucks and are interchangeable, while all other trucks are used for different purposes and are not interchangeable with hand pallet trucks.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega se je po ocenah na podlagi podatkov o uvozu število uvoženih enot izdelka v preiskavi med letoma 2013 in 2014 povečalo za približno 110000 enot, kar je približno 70-odstotno povečanje, nato pa se je med letom 2014 in obdobjem poročanja še dodatno povečalo za več kot 80000 enot, tj. za približno 30 %.
On this basis, it was concluded that the increase of imports of ‘other trucks’ as observed in Eurostat was due to the increase of imports of the product under investigation.
V prejšnjih letih obdobja preiskave je bil trend uvoza celo padajoč.
In that perspective, the increase in units of product under investigation imported were estimated on the basis of the imports data to have increased by around 110000 units between 2013 and 2014, namely an increase of around 70 %, further increasing between 2014 and the reporting period by more than 80000 units, namely by around 30 %.
Zato je bilo zaradi nesodelovanja kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ugotovljeno, da je prišlo do spremembe vzorca trgovanja v smislu člena 13(1) osnovne uredbe.
In the previous years of the investigation period the import trend was even decreasing.
Narava izogibanja
Therefore, in the absence of any cooperation from the Chinese exporting producers, it was concluded that a change in pattern of trade within the meaning of Article 13(1) of the basic Regulation took place.
Vložniki so trdili, da izogibanje zajema uvoz nekoliko spremenjenih izdelkov s preprosto vključitvijo „sistema za prikazovanje teže“, ki ni vgrajen v šasijo, z odstopanjem v višini 1 % teže tovora ali več.
The nature of the circumvention practice
Ti izdelki so ob uvozu napačno prijavljeni kot vozički za tehtanje.
The applicants alleged that the circumvention practice consists of the importation of slightly modified products by simply incorporating a ‘weight indication system’ not integrated in the chassis having a margin of error equal to or exceeding 1 % of the load.
Vložniki so tudi trdili, da se izdelek v preiskavi razlikuje od vozičkov za tehtanje, saj je mehanizem za tehtanje izdelka v preiskavi precej manj izpopolnjen kot mehanizem za tehtanje pri vozičkih za tehtanje in ne daje natančnih rezultatov.
These products are wrongly declared as weighing trucks at importation.
Nadalje so trdili, da se konstrukcija obeh izdelkov močno razlikuje.
The applicants argued that the product under investigation is different from weighing trucks, as the weighing mechanism of the product under investigation is much less sophisticated than the weighing mechanism of weighing trucks and does not give accurate results.
Vozički za tehtanje
They further argued that the structure of both products is significantly different.
V skladu z obrazložitvijo področja uporabe in ukrepov, s katerimi so bili izključeni nekateri izdelki, med katerimi so tudi vozički za tehtanje iz uvodne izjave 2, je preiskava pokazala, da je pri vozičkih za tehtanje tehtnica vgrajena v šasijo oziroma vilice.
Weighing trucks
Tako je naprava za tehtanje pri vozičkih za tehtanje sestavljena iz izredno natančnih senzorjev obremenitve (oziroma celic), nameščenih v vilicah.
In line with the clarification of the scope of the measures which excluded certain products amongst which the weighing trucks referred to in recital 2 above, the investigation revealed that weighing trucks have a weighing scale incorporated in the chassis, that is to say in the forks.
Vilice so zato sestavljene iz dveh delov.
Thus, the weighing device of a weighing truck consists of high precision load sensors (or cells) which are placed in the forks.
Ta mehanizem omogoča pravilno in natančno merjenje obremenitve na vilicah.
The sensors are mounted and positioned in the lower part.
Sistem za razliko od zadevnega izdelka in izdelka v preiskavi ni namenjen intenzivnemu dviganju in premikanju tovora, saj bi se s tem uničila tehtnica.
The upper part is lying on the sensors.
Poleg tega je za uporabo vozičkov za tehtanje, za razliko od zadevnega izdelka in izdelka v preiskavi, potrebno posebno usposabljanje.
This mechanism allows for an accurate and precise measurement of the weight put on the forks.
S preiskavo je bilo ugotovljeno, da ima izdelek v preiskavi v bistvu enako konstrukcijo in uporabo kot ročni vozički za premeščanje palet, ki so vozički z dvižnimi vilicami za manipuliranje palet, namenjeni temu, da jih upravljavec na tleh z uporabo premičnega krmila potiska, vleče ali krmili na gladki ravni in trdi površini.
The equipment is fragile and requires periodical calibration.
Ti vozički so namenjeni temu, da omogočijo upravljavcu, ki upravlja krmilo kot črpalko, da tovor dvigne do višine, primerne za prenos tovora.
In contrast to the product concerned and the product under investigation, the system is not designed for intensive lifting and moving loads because the weighing scale device would be damaged.
Izdelek v preiskavi je dodatno opremljen z napravo za tehtanje (mehansko ali elektronsko).
In addition, unlike the product concerned and the product under investigation, the use of weighing trucks requires specific training.
Vendar ta naprava ni vgrajena v šasijo, vilice pa so sestavljene samo iz enega dela, tako kot zadevni izdelek.
The investigation established that the product under investigation has essentially the same structure and use as hand pallet trucks which are trucks with wheels supporting lifting fork arms for handling pallets, designed to be manually pushed, pulled and steered, on smooth, level, hard surfaces, by a pedestrian operator using an articulated tiller.
Namesto tega je naprava za tehtanje vgrajena neposredno na konstrukcijo ročnega vozička za premeščanje palet ter se lahko pozneje odstrani brez zamenjave konstrukcije in uporabe ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet.
These trucks are designed to raise a load, by pumping the tiller, to a height sufficient for transporting.
Brez naprave za tehtanje izdelka v preiskavi ni mogoče razlikovati od ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet in se uporablja za povsem enake namene kot ročni vozički za premeščanje palet.
The product under investigation is additionally equipped with a weighing device (either mechanical or electronic).
Po drugi strani naprava za tehtanje izdelka v preiskavi prikazuje le približno težo s precejšnjim odstopanjem v nekaterih primerih.
However, this device is not incorporated in the chassis and the forks consist of only one part exactly as the product concerned.
Preiskava je pokazala, da natančnost naprave za tehtanje v nasprotju s trditvami iz začetne faze ne pomeni bistvene lastnosti izdelka v preiskavi v primerjavi z zadevnim izdelkom.
Instead, the weighing device is mounted directly on the hand pallet truck structure and can be subsequently removed without changing the structure and the use of the hand pallet trucks.
Tudi s sistemom, ki zagotavlja natančne navedbe teže, ima izdelek v preiskavi enake lastnosti, tj. konstrukcijo in uporabo, kot ročni vozički za premeščanje tovora.
Without the weighing device the product under investigation is not distinguishable from hand pallet trucks and is used for the exact same purposes as a hand pallet trucks.
To je v nasprotju z glavnimi lastnostmi vozičkov za tehtanje, ki imajo, kot je pojasnjeno zgoraj, izpopolnjene in drage naprave za tehtanje, vgrajene v šasijo (oziroma vilice), kar poleg tega zahteva drugačno strukturo vilic.
On the other hand, the weighing device of the product under investigation provides only an approximate indication of the weight with a substantial margin of error in some cases.
Naprav za tehtanje v vozičkih za tehtanje ni mogoče odstraniti ter navajajo natančne in točne vrednosti.
The investigation revealed that contrary to what was alleged at initiation stage, the accuracy of the weighing device does not constitute an essential characteristic of the product under investigation in comparison with the product concerned.
Tehnologija in proizvodni procesi vozičkov za tehtanje se bistveno razlikujejo od tehnologije in proizvodnih procesov izdelka v preiskavi.
Even with an accurate weighing indication system the product under investigation shares the same characteristics as a hand pallet trucks, that is to say the structure and the use.
Med preiskavo sta bili opredeljeni dve različni napravi za tehtanje, mehanska in elektronska.
This is in contrast to the main characteristics of weighing trucks which, as explained above, have sophisticated and costly weighing devices integrated in the chassis (namely the forks) which also requires a different fork structure.
Zdi se, da je elektronska naprava za tehtanje natančnejša pri prikazovanju teže kot mehanska naprava.
The weighing devices of the weighing trucks are not removable and provide accurate and exact values.
Proizvajalec izvoznik, ki je po začetku predložil pripombe, je trdil, da so ročni vozički za premeščanje palet, ki jih izvaža, opremljeni s patentiranim elektronskim mehanizmom za tehtanje, vgrajenim v šasijo.
Technology and production processes of weighing trucks are fundamentally different from those of the product under investigation.
Mehanizem za tehtanje je domnevno „tehtal s precejšnjo natančnostjo“ in izpolnjeval zahteve strank.
During the investigation two different weighing devices were identified, mechanical and electronic.
Drugič, proizvajalec izvoznik je trdil, da opredelitev natančnosti merjenja v začetni fazi, tj. „odstopanja v višini 1 % teže tovora ali več“, ni ustrezna, saj se nanaša zgolj na „tovor“, medtem ko se natančnost teže lahko doseže le pri obremenitvi najmanj 100 kg.
The electronic weighing device appears to be more accurate in the indication of the weight than the mechanical weighing device.
Na podlagi tega je proizvajalec izvoznik trdil, da bi bilo treba opredelitev izdelka v preiskavi spremeniti, tako da bi se nanašala le na „mehanske mehanizme za merjenje“ in da bi se iz opredelitve izključil prag v višini 1 %.
The exporting producer that submitted comments following initiation argued that the hand pallet trucks exported by it was fitted with a patented electronic weighing mechanism integrated in the chassis.
Vendar je bil mehanizem za tehtanje v nasprotju s trditvami zgolj nameščen na konstrukcijo ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje tovora in ne vgrajen v šasijo oziroma vilice.
The weighing mechanism had an allegedly ‘good weigh accuracy’ and met the requirements of the customers.
Mehanizem za tehtanje bi se lahko tržil ločeno.
Secondly, this exporting producer argued that the definition of the weight accuracy at initiation stage, namely ‘a margin of error equal or exceeding 1 % of the load’, is not appropriate as it merely refers to ‘load’ while weight accuracy can only be achieved by loads of at least 100 kg.
Čeprav je naprava dejansko prikazovala natančnejšo težo kot mehanske naprave za tehtanje, še vedno velja, da je konstrukcija vozičkov, ki jih izvaža ta družba, enaka konstrukciji ročnih vozičkov za premeščanje palet.
