However, this finding dates back to the year 2000, and the data from over 15 years ago cannot be regarded as representative anymore given the technological and financial changes the Union industry faced since then and given the changes in size of the Union market since 2000 as a result of the growing number of Member States during the period 2000-2016.

However, these products are downstream steel products, which are not similar to the product concerned.

The Commission then turned to the profitability data of the year 2008, which it had regarded as the most representative year for a downstream product, namely cold-rolled steel products.

The product concerned of the current investigation is similar in many aspects to certain cold-rolled flat steel products (cold-rolled products) for the following reasons:

For both products (iron ore and coking coal) certain alloys are major parts of their cost of production and they go through similar processes (furnace, hot strip mill).

As set out in recital (40) above, the product concerned is the primary material for the production of various value-added downstream steel products, starting with cold-rolled products.

However, various elements in that case relating to injurious dumping from China and Russia are not present in the current case, where the Commission found a threat of injury from Chinese subsidised exports, which involves a prospective analysis.

In particular, in that case, imports at low prices from the countries under investigation had taken place throughout the four-year period prior to the investigation period.

The Commission then tried to establish a target profit by simulating how the recovery of the Union industry from the recession caused by the economic and financial crisis in 2009 might have developed if it had not been interrupted by the high volumes of price-depressing Chinese imports.

Absent any other reliable data, it equated these figures made for the steel industry as a whole to the product concerned, as HRF makes up a big proportion of the crude steel production.

In conclusion, the Commission established that a target profit of 7 % can be used to calculate the threat of injury margin for the Union HRF industry.

The period to be used for the injury margin calculation in a threat of injury case

First, the Commission recalls that the determination of subsidy and injury is made on the basis of an investigation period and a period considered defined in line with the relevant provisions of the basic Regulation and announced in the Notice of Initiation.
Glej tudi uvodno izjavo (444) o majhnem zmanjšanju zalog pri vzorčenih proizvajalcih Unije kot deležu proizvodnje.
On the other hand, the basic Regulation does not provide any specific method for the calculation of the injury margin used for the application of the lesser-duty rule.
Richard Lu, „The downside Chinese steel demand scenario: gory details“ (Negativna stran scenarija kitajskega povpraševanja po jeklu: umazane podrobnosti), http://www.crugroup.com/about-,cru/cruinsight/The_downside_Chinese_steel_demand_scenario_gory_details, 15. julij 2016.
Second, the basic Regulation also does not provide specific criteria for the definition of the period during which the parameters for the calculation of the injury margin are assessed.
Glej tudi uvodno izjavo (443) o majhnem zmanjšanju zalog pri vzorčenih proizvajalcih Unije kot deležu proizvodnje.
In the present case, the Commission needed to consider that the period chosen reflects the specificity of the case and is appropriate in the context of a prospective analysis.
Platts, članek „European steel producers on the offensive, but will price increases stick?“ (Evropski proizvajalci jekla so se odzvali, vendar je vprašanje, ali se bodo zvišanja cen obdržala), http://blogs.platts.com/2016/04/05/european-steel-producers-on-offensive/, 4. maj 2016.
In this respect, the Commission was of the opinion that it could not apply a standard material injury approach by taking the average injury margin over the whole IP (i.e. 2015): the threat of injury margin needs to reflect the threat, and when the threat materialises later on during the IP, the injury margin must reflect the concrete impact of the threat.
Platts, članek ‚2017 could be a huge year for the European steel industry‘ (Leto 2017 bi lahko bilo zelo pomembno za evropsko jeklarsko industrijo) http://blogs.platts.com/2017/03/08/2017-european-steel-industry/, 8. marec 2017.
In order to effectively remove the impact of the threat of injury the Commission therefore looked at those parts of the IP where the threat of injury started to materialise as follows: It referred inter alia to recital (549) stating that ‘while the Union industry was recovering during 2014 and the first two quarters of 2015, almost all injury indicators started to fall dramatically during the second half of 2015.
Svetovno jeklarsko združenje, The Chinese steel industry, A monthly update for world steel members (Kitajska jeklarska industrija, Mesečna posodobitev za člane svetovnega jeklarskega združenja), številka 115, junij 2016.
The investigation revealed that this negative trend, which started in the second half of 2015, was not invalidated during the first half of 2016.’
Svetovno jeklarsko združenje, Extract from Worldsteel monthly update on the Chinese steel industry (Izvleček iz mesečne posodobitve svetovnega jeklarskega združenja o kitajski jeklarski industriji), oktober 2016.
It further provided in recital (554) that ‘In view of the coincidence in time between, on the one hand, the ever-increasing level of subsidised imports at continuously decreasing prices and, on the other hand, the Union industry's loss of market share and price depression resulting in further losses, in particular from the second half of 2015 onwards, the Commission concluded that the subsidised imports had a negative impact on the situation of the Union industry.’
Reuters, članek ‚China's surging steel, iron ore inventories at odds with price gains‘: Russell (Kitajska povečuje zaloge jekla in železove rude, čeprav se dobiček ne pričakuje), http://www.reuters.com/article/us-column-russell-ironore-china-idUSKBN1610FI, 22. februar 2017.
Second, as to the substance of the matter, the Commission established that, as laid out in recital (462), the negative trend started in the second half of 2015 and led to a clearly foreseeable and imminent change in circumstances at the end of the investigation period, which would create a situation in which the subsidisation would cause injury, if no measures were taken.
Kot je bilo navedeno, je Komisija 7. julija 2016 začela preiskavo v zvezi z dampinškim uvozom enakega izdelka s poreklom, med drugim, iz Rusije.
This is in line with what was stated by the Commission in recital (457) that ‘the Union producers could partly recover during 2014 and the first half of 2015’.
Začetek navedene preiskave pa ne vpliva na rezultat sedanje preiskave.
As a result, the second half of 2015 better reflects the actual impact of the threat of injury to the Union industry that should be removed.
Predložitev kitajske vlade, 26. avgust 2016, uvodne izjave (362)–(366).
Third, the Court held that the analysis of the post-investigation period data is particularly appropriate in an investigation to determine whether there is a threat of injury which, by its very nature, requires a prospective analysis.

For the Commission, the second half of 2015 seems to better respond to this requirement, as it is closer to future developments than the full IP.
Predložitev kitajske vlade, 26. avgust 2016, uvodne izjave (367)–(370).
Fourth, a calculation on the basis of a full investigation period, irrespective whether there were signs of negative trends, would undermine the objective of a threat of injury case to act effectively and preventively before the threat of injury has caused injury.
Glej Odločbo Komisije št. 284/2000/ECSC z dne 4. februarja 2000 o uvedbi dokončne izravnalne dajatve na uvoz nekaterih ploščato valjanih izdelkov iz železa ali nelegiranega jekla, širine 600 mm ali več, neplatiranih, neprevlečenih in neprekritih, v kolobarjih, enostavno vroče valjanih, s poreklom iz Indije in Tajvana ter o sprejetju zaveze, ki so jih ponudili nekateri proizvajalci izvozniki, ter o ustavitvi postopka v zvezi z uvozom s poreklom iz Južne Afrike (UL L 31, 5.2.2000, str. 44), točka 338.
After disclosure, the exporting producer Shougang Group disagreed with the Commission's approach of only taking data with respect to the second half of 2015 for the determination of the injury margin.
Predložitev kitajske vlade, 26. avgust 2016, nezaupna različica, uvodna izjava (311), str. 114.
It argued that an investigation period is set at the beginning of an investigation in order to avoid any subjective determinations by investigating authorities.
Izvedbena uredba Komisije (EU) 2016/1246 z dne 28. julija 2016 o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz armaturnih palic iz jekla z visoko odpornostjo proti utrujenosti s poreklom iz Ljudske republike (UL L 204, 29.7.2016, str. 70), uvodna izjava (127).
Moreover, it alleged that, since the lesser duty rule applies to the imposition of countervailing duties, meaning that both the subsidy and injury margin should determine the duty, it should be logical that both the subsidy and injury margin should relate to the same period.
Uredba Sveta (ES) št. 954/2006 z dne 27. junija 2006 o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve na uvoz določenih brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali jekla s poreklom iz Hrvaške, Romunije, Rusije in Ukrajine, o razveljavitvi uredb Sveta (ES) št. 2320/97 in (ES) št. 348/2000, o zaključku vmesnih pregledov in pregledov zaradi izteka protidampinških dajatev na uvoz določenih brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali nelegiranega jekla s poreklom, med drugim, iz Rusije in Romunije ter o zaključku vmesnih pregledov protidampinških dajatev na uvoz določenih brezšivnih cevi iz železa ali nelegiranega jekla s poreklom, med drugim, iz Rusije in Romunije ter Hrvaške in Ukrajine (UL L 175, 29.6.2006, str. 4), uvodna izjava (233).
The Commission rejected these claims for the following reasons: First, as stated in recital (627) above, the threat of injury margin needs to reflect the threat, and when the threat materialises later on during the IP, the injury margin must reflect the concrete impact of the threat.
Glej Izvedbeno uredbo Komisije (EU) 2016/1328 z dne 29. julija 2016 o uvedbi dokončne protidampinške dajatve in dokončnem pobiranju začasne dajatve, uvedene na uvoz nekaterih hladno valjanih ploščatih izdelkov iz jekla s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske in Ruske federacije (UL L 210, 4.8.2016, str. 1), uvodna izjava (156).
Second, under Articles 11 and 5 of the basic Regulation, which equally apply to investigations initiated on the basis of allegations of threat of injury, representative findings have to be based on a period ending before the initiation of proceedings (see recital (475)).
McKinsey & Company, Laying the foundations for a financially sound industry (Postavitev temeljev za finančno trdno industrijo), seja odbora OECD za jeklo z dne 5. decembra 2013, str. 7.
Finally, as set out in recital (626), the basic Regulation does not provide any specific method for the calculation of the injury margin used for the application of the lesser-duty rule.
Uredba (EU) 2016/1036 Evropskega parlamenta in Sveta z dne 8. junija 2016 o zaščiti proti dampinškemu uvozu iz držav, ki niso članice Evropske unije (UL L 176, 30.6.2016, str. 21).
For all the reasons above, the Commission concluded that the period for calculating the injury margins in this particular case should be based on the second half of 2015 and not on the entire investigation period.
Prej „Hebei Iron & Steel Co., Ltd.
As a result, the Commission requested additional data to co-operating producers.
Tangshan Branch“.
It received additional quarterly IP data on the cost of production per product type from the sampled Union producers and verified these data afterwards.

Therefore, the injury margin for the Shougang Group decreased from 31,9 % to 31,5 %.

Definitive measures
Chengde Branch‘.
The anti-subsidy investigation was carried out in parallel with an investigation concerning the anti-dumping measures, limited to the threat of injury.
PRILOGA
In view of the use of the lesser duty rule, and the fact that the definitive amounts of countervailable subsidies expressed on ad valorem basis are lower than the injury elimination level, the Commission should impose the definitive countervailing duty at the level of the established definitive amounts of countervailable subsidies and then impose the definitive anti-dumping duty up to the relevant injury elimination level.
Ime
However, as the definitive anti-dumping regulation was already adopted on 6 April 2017, it was necessary to amend that regulation to take account of the findings present herein.
Kitajska vlada je sprejela povabilo na posvetovanje, ki je bilo 11. maja 2016.
On the basis of this methodology and of the facts of the case, in particular the fact that the present investigation did not countervail any export subsidies, the measures are limited by the injury margin, the Commission considers that no ‘double-counting’ issue arises in this case.
Njene pripombe so se med posvetovanjem ustrezno upoštevale.
Given the high rate of cooperation of Chinese exporting producers, the ‘all other companies’ duty was set at the level of the highest duty imposed on the sampled companies.
Kitajski vladi je bil poslan vprašalnik.
The ‘all other companies’ duty will be applied to those companies which did not cooperate in this investigation.
Vključeval je posebne vprašalnike za Kitajsko razvojno banko, Kitajsko kmetijsko razvojno banko, Kitajsko izvozno-uvozno banko, Kitajsko kmetijsko banko, Banko Kitajske, Konstrukcijsko banko Kitajske ter Industrijsko in poslovno banko Kitajske.
For the other cooperating non-sampled Chinese exporting producers listed in the Annex, the definitive duty rate is set at the weighted average of the rates established for the cooperating exporting producers in the sample.
Glavna prednostna naloga kitajske vlade v obdobju 2011–2015 je strukturno prilagajanje, preoblikovanje in posodobitev jeklarske industrije.
On the basis of the above, the rates at which such duties will be imposed are set as follows:
Poleg tega je v poglavju 5 12. petletnega načrta za jeklarstvo poudarjen pomen „krepitve povezave davčne, finančne, trgovinske in zemljiške politike, politik s področja varčevanja z energijo, varstva okolja in varnosti ter drugih politik z industrijsko politiko za jeklo“.
Table 24
Kitajska vlada je trdila, da se Komisija pri preiskavi ne more opreti na 12. petletni načrt in 12. petletni načrt za jeklarstvo, saj sta se iztekla 31. decembra 2015.
Definitive Countervailing duty
Zato ne bi bilo pravne podlage za nadaljnje subvencioniranje.
Chinese exporting producers
Poleg tega je bil marca 2016 objavljen 13. petletni načrt, ki zajema obdobje 2016–2020.
Dumping margin (established in the anti-dumping investigation)
Kot je pojasnjeno v naslednji uvodni izjavi, 13. petletni načrt temelji na ciljih, poudarjenih v 12. petletnem načrtu, in jih nadalje razvija.
Injury elimination level
„Načrt za prilagoditev in posodobitev jeklarske industrije za obdobje 2016–2020“ (13. petletni načrt za jeklarstvo) je bil objavljen novembra 2016.
Countervailing duty rate
Temelji na 13. petletnem načrtu.
Anti-dumping duty
Komisija je v odgovor na te trditve spomnila, da je družba zahtevo za tako odobritev le na kratko in neutemeljeno zavrnila z enim samim stavkom v elektronskem sporočilu z dne 24. novembra 2016.
Not sampled in the anti-dumping investigation
Takrat družba ni zaprosila za dodatne podrobnosti o preverjanju v prostorih finančnih institucij niti ni zahtevala navzočnosti svojega predstavnika pri takem preverjanju.
Other companies cooperating in both anti-subsidy and anti-dumping investigation
Kitajska izvozno-uvozna banka:
Other companies cooperating in anti-dumping investigation but not in anti-subsidy investigation
Komisija ja priznala, da so bila posebna posojila odpravljena leta 1999.
The individual company anti-dumping and anti-subsidy duty rate specified in this Regulation was established on the basis of the findings of the present investigations.
Vendar to ne spremeni ugotovitve glede obstoja preferenčnih posojil, ki temelji tudi na drugih razpoložljivih dejstvih, ki sama po sebi zadoščajo.
Therefore, it reflects the situation found during these investigations with respect to the company concerned.
dstotni delež ima v lasti skupina Shougang Group (podjetje v državni lasti), ki je največji delničar.
This duty rate (as opposed to the countrywide duty applicable to ‘all other companies’) is thus exclusively applicable to imports of products originating in the country concerned and produced by the company mentioned.
Poleg tega ima 18 % v lasti podjetje v državni lasti China State Grid, 1,3 % pa Central Huijin.
