Export sales performance of the Union industry
Ta argument je obravnavan v uvodni izjavi 134 začasne uredbe, kjer je razloženo, da „čeprav je na veliko izgubo 12,2 % v letu 2013 vplivalo izjemno majhno povpraševanje v tem letu, je velik pritisk, ki ga je povečan uvoz iz LRK v letu 2014 in obdobju preiskave izvajal na ceno in obseg industrije Unije, industriji Unije preprečil, da bi izkoristila dinamično rast potrošnje Unije za 11 odstotnih točk“.
In the absence of any comments on the effects of the export sales performance of the Union industry, the conclusions set out in recitals 179 to 183 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 93 začasne uredbe, je to rast skoraj izključno izkoristil dampinški uvoz iz LRK.
Competition between vertically integrated Union producers and re-rollers in the Union
Komisija zato ugotavlja, da vzrok za veliko izgubo v letu 2013 ni bila majhna količina uvoza iz LRK, temveč posebno majhno povpraševanje na trgu Unije.
In the absence of any comments on the effects of competition between vertically integrated Union producers and re-rollers in the Union, the conclusions set out in recitals 184 to 189 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Izgube, ki jih je v letih 2014 in 2015 utrpela industrija Unije, pa je povzročil tudi čedalje večji obseg dampinškega uvoza iz LRK.
Lack of profit of Union producers irrespective of the volume of dumped imports from the PRC
Komisija poleg tega ugotavlja, da je bila industrija Unije v letih 2011 in 2012 dobičkonosna.
CISA further submitted that between 2013 and the investigation period the sampled Union producers remained largely unprofitable and that they incurred the biggest loss in 2013, which is exactly the year when imports of heavy plate from the PRC reached the lowest level.
Leta 2011, ko se uvoz iz LRK še ni dogajal v znatnih količinah, je stopnja dobička industrije Unije dosegla 7,9 %, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 221 začasne uredbe.
This argument is addressed in recital 134 of the provisional Regulation, where it is explained that ‘while the heavy loss of 12,2 % in 2013 is influenced by the particularly low demand in that year, the considerable price and volume pressure exerted on the Union industry by the increasing imports from the PRC over 2014 and the investigation period prevented the Union industry from benefiting from the dynamic growth of the Union consumption by 11 percentage points.’
Leta 2012 je bil dampinški uvoz iz LRK že zelo prisoten, zato se je stopnja dobička že znatno znižala, in sicer na le 1,6 %.
As indicated in recital 93 of the provisional Regulation, this growth was almost exclusively absorbed by the dumped imports from the PRC.
Opozoriti je treba, da nobena zainteresirana stran ni predložila pripomb v zvezi z dobičkonosnostjo industrije Unije v letih 2011 in 2012.
The Commission therefore concludes that the high loss in 2013 was not due to the low quantity of imports from the PRC, but due to the particularly low demand on the Union market.
Učinek „drugih pomembnih dejavnikov“
The losses incurred by the Union industry in 2014 and 2015 are however caused by the continuously increasing volume of dumped imports from the PRC.
CISA navaja, da poleg dampinškega uvoza iz LRK obstajajo tudi „drugi pomembni dejavniki, ki povzročajo domnevno škodo industriji Unije“ ter da bi „to lahko prekinilo vzročno zvezo med domnevnim dampinškim uvozom“ iz LRK in škodo.
In addition, the Commission notes that the Union industry was profitable in the years 2011 and 2012.
CISA je zahtevala, naj Komisija prouči svojo vzročno analizo, pri čemer naj upošteva tudi druge dejavnike.
In 2011, the Union industry showed a profit margin of 7,9 %, at a time when imports from the PRC were not yet made at significant quantities, as indicated in recital 221 of the provisional Regulation.
V zvezi s tem je treba opozoriti, da je bilo šest drugih navedenih dejavnikov obravnavanih v začasni uredbi ali v tej uredbi.
In 2012, the profit margin was already significantly lower at only 1,6 %, due to the significant presence of dumped imports from the PRC.
Zato je jasno, da je Komisija temeljito analizirala vse dejavnike, ki so jih opredelile zainteresirane strani.
It is noted that no interested party commented on the profitability of the Union industry in 2011 and 2012.
CISA ni niti opredelila, katere „druge pomembne dejavnike“ bi bilo treba proučiti poleg šestih že podrobno analiziranih dejavnikov.
Effect of ‘other important factors’
CISA je zgolj omenila, da so „očitni“, ni pa navedla nadaljnjih informacij.
CISA submits that there are ‘other important factors’ than dumped imports from the PRC ‘that are causing the alleged injury of the Union industry’ and that ‘this may break the causal link between the alleged dumped imports’ from the PRC and the injury.
Komisija zato zavrača to trditev.
CISA requested the Commission to revise its causation analysis and take all other factors into account.
Sklep o vzročni zvezi
In this respect, it is noted that the six other factors listed above were addressed either in the provisional Regulation or in this Regulation.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedenega in ker ni bilo drugih pripomb, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav 190 do 194 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
It is therefore clear that the Commission has thoroughly analysed all factors identified by interested parties.
INTERES UNIJE
CISA did not even identify which ‘other important factors’, in addition to the six factors already analysed in detail, should be examined.
CISA je navedla, da je v obravnavanem obdobju delež, ki so ga imeli proizvajalci Unije na trgu Unije, znašal več kot 70 %.
CISA merely mentioned that they are ‘obvious’ without providing any further information.
Trdila je, da ti prevladujejo na trgu Unije, edini pomemben vir konkurence pa je uvoz iz LRK.
The Commission therefore rejects this submission.
Komisija ugotavlja, da CISA ne priznava dejstva, da proizvajalci Unije konkurirajo med seboj ter z uvozom iz LRK in drugih tretjih držav, katerih tržni delež znaša 12,2 %, kot prikazuje preglednica 13 začasne uredbe.
Conclusion on causation
Poleg tega ne kaže, da bi med proizvajalci Unije primanjkovalo konkurence.
On the basis of the above and in the absence of any other comments, the conclusions set out in recitals 190 to 194 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov je en uvoznik navedel, da bo uvedba protidampinških ukrepov umetno zmanjšala konkurenčnost na trgu Unije in privedla do oligopolnega trga kar zadeva segment „posebnih debelih pločevin“, ki ga že zdaj obvladuje en sam akter.
UNION INTEREST
Vendar Komisija ugotavlja, da navedena stran ni predložila nobenih dokazov, ki bi podprli to trditev.
CISA submitted that over the period considered the Union producers held over 70 % of the Union market.
Informacije, ki jih je Eurofer predložil v svojih pripombah v zvezi z dokončnim razkritjem, ravno nasprotno navajajo številne proizvajalce Unije, ki ponujajo različne vrste „posebnih debelih pločevin“.
They alleged that they dominate the Union market while the only serious sources of competition are imports from the PRC.
Komisija priznava, da bi lahko uvedba dajatev zmanjšala število konkurentov v nekaterih segmentih „posebnih debelih pločevin“ na trgu Unije.
The Commission notes that CISA fails to recognise the fact that Union producers compete with each other and with imports from the PRC and other third countries holding a market share of 12,2 %, as indicated in Table 13 of the provisional Regulation Furthermore, there is no indication that there is a lack of competition between Union producers.
Vendar protidampinška preiskava ne opredeljuje trga izdelkov in geografskega trga ter ne ocenjuje tržne moči in njenega verjetnega razvoja.
Following provisional measures also one importer submitted that the imposition of anti-dumping measures will artificially reduce the competition on the Union market and will lead to an oligopolistic market in the segment of ‘special heavy plate’ as this segment is already dominated by just one player.
Zato v tej preiskavi ni bila mogoča in potrebna ugotovitev, ali obstaja tveganje ustvarjanja ali okrepitve prevladujočega položaja na enem od trgov v smislu konkurenčnega prava.
The Commission notes however that this party failed to submit any evidence to support this allegation.
Komisija mora v svoji analizi interesa Unije upoštevati druge politike Unije, kot je politika konkurence.
To the contrary, the information submitted by Eurofer in their comments to the final disclosure list numerous Union producers offering different types of ‘special heavy plate’.
Toda ti premisleki zahtevajo nadaljnjo preiskavo le, kadar obstajajo konkretni dokazi o prevladujočem položaju in morebitni zlorabi slednjega.
The Commission recognises that the imposition of duties may reduce the number of competitors in certain segments of ‘special heavy plate’ on the Union market.
Navedbe zainteresiranih strani tega merila niso izpolnile.
However, an anti-dumping investigation does not define product and geographical markets, and does not assess market power and its likely evolution.
Komisija v vsakem primeru opozarja, da je namen uvedbe protidampinških dajatev odpraviti učinek škodljivega dampinga, ugotovljenega za vse segmente debelih pločevin, prevladujoč položaj na trgu pa še ne pomeni zlorabe.
Therefore, no findings could and had to be made in this investigation as to whether there is a risk of creating or reinforcing a dominant position in one of the markets in the sense of competition law.
Če zainteresirane strani v prihodnje opazijo kakršno koli ravnanje, ki bi kršilo pravila konkurence, lahko uporabijo svojo pravico do pritožbe pri organu, pristojnem za konkurenco.
The Commission is required, in its Union interest analysis, to take into consideration other Union policies, such as competition policy.
Po uvedbi začasnih ukrepov je en uvoznik navedel, da uvedba protidampinških ukrepov ne bi smela privesti do zvišanja cen na trgu Unije.
However, it is only where there is concrete evidence of a dominant position and possible abuse thereof that those considerations require further investigation.
Komisija ponovno poudarja, da je namen uvedbe protidampinških dajatev odpraviti učinke škodljivega dampinga, ki izkrivljajo trgovino.
That threshold has not been met by the submissions of the interested parties.
Učinki navedenih ukrepov na cene so odvisni od določanja cen številnih udeležencev na trgu, zato jih ni mogoče predvideti.
In any event, the Commission recalls that the anti-dumping duties are imposed to eliminate the effect of injurious dumping that was found for all segments of heavy plate, and that dominance on a market does not imply that it is abused.
Do zvišanja cen lahko pride, kadar bi morale po mnenju tržnih sil na neizkrivljenem trgu prevladati višje cene.
Should interested parties observe any future behaviour that may violate competition rules, they can use their right to complain to the competent competition authority.
CISA je navedla tudi, da uporabniki Unije potrebujejo konkurenčne in ustaljene vire oskrbe ter da bi uvedba protidampinških ukrepov „lahko privedla do velike izgube in/ali selitev delovnih mest v industriji na koncu proizvodne verige iz Evropske unije“.
Following provisional measures one importer submitted that the imposition of anti-dumping measures should not lead to increased prices on the Union market.
Toda v obdobju preiskave je 30 proizvajalcev Unije in uvoz iz številnih držav, vključno z Rusijo in Ukrajino, zagotavljalo redno oskrbo uporabnikov Unije z debelimi pločevinami.
The Commission recalls that the purpose of anti-dumping measures is to eliminate the trade distorting effects of injurious dumping.
Poleg tega uporabniki v industriji na koncu proizvodne verige niso predložili dokazov, da zaradi uvedbe protidampinških ukrepov ne bi bili deležni oskrbe z debelimi pločevinami.
The effects of those measures on prices depend on pricing decisions of various market operators, and as such are impossible to predict.
V zvezi s tveganjem velike izgube in/ali selitvijo delovnih mest iz Unije je le ena industrija na koncu proizvodne verige predložila podobno trditev, in sicer proizvajalec vetrnih elektrarn.
Increased prices may occur where market forces consider that on an undistorted market such higher prices should prevail.
Ta trditev je obravnavana v nadaljevanju.
CISA submitted also that Union users need competitive and steady sources of supply and that the imposition of anti-dumping measures ‘is likely to result in a major loss and/or shift of jobs away from the European Union in the downstream industry’.
Ad-hoc združenje uporabnikov v industriji na koncu proizvodne verige (vetrne elektrarne) je navedlo, da bo zaradi uvedbe ukrepov v zvezi z debelimi pločevinami nastalo tveganje, da se v prihodnosti proizvodnja vetrnih elektrarn preseli v LRK in da pride do težav z zanesljivostjo oskrbe z v celoti ali delno proizvedenimi vetrnimi elektrarnami.
There were however 30 producers in the Union during the investigation period and imports from a number of countries, including Russia and Ukraine, ensuring steady supply of heavy plate to users in the Union.
Tudi en uvoznik je v svojih pripombah v zvezi z dokončnim razkritjem podal navedeni argument glede vetrnih elektrarn in drugih delov vetrnih energijskih sistemov.
Also, no users in the downstream industries provided evidence that they would not be able to source heavy plate due to the imposition of anti-dumping measures.
Komisija te navedbe zavrača, saj zainteresirane strani svojih trditev niso podkrepile z dokazi ali analizo, na primer tako, da bi se navedeni proizvajalci vetrnih elektrarn javili v rokih, določenih v obvestilu o začetku, in da bi izpolnili vprašalnik, v katerem bi podrobneje opredelili vrste debelih pločevin, ki se v tej industriji uporabljajo za gradnjo vetrnih elektrarn, ter predstavili analizo o tem, ali so navedene vrste debelih pločevin zamenljive z vrstami debelih pločevin, ki se uporabljajo v drugih industrijah.
As regards the risk of a major loss and/or shift of jobs away from the Union, only one downstream industry made a similar claim, namely the producer of wind turbine towers.
Komisija opozarja, da informacije v spisu kažejo, da proizvajalci vetrnih elektrarn ne bi imeli koristi od izključitve „posebnih debelih pločevin“ iz obsega izdelka, kot je opisano v uvodni izjavi 42 zgoraj.
This claim is addressed below.
Zato bi lahko njihove pomisleke odpravila le izključitev debelih pločevin za vetrne elektrarne zaradi interesa Unije.
The ad-hoc association of users in a downstream industry (wind turbine towers) submitted that the imposition of measures on heavy plate will result in the risk of relocation of the wind turbine towers production to the PRC and problems of security of supplies of complete or semi-complete manufactured wind turbine towers in the future.
Toda v tej fazi proizvajalci vetrnih elektrarn te izključitve niso utemeljili s konkretno in podrobno analizo, ki bi vključevala razlago vpliva uvedbe dajatve na njihove stroške proizvodnje in na njihovo sposobnost, da te stroške prenesejo na svoje stranke.
This argument was also raised by one importer in their comments to the final disclosure as regards wind turbine towers as well as other parts of wind energy systems.
Komisija nadalje opozarja, da lahko proizvajalci vetrnih elektrarn zahtevajo vmesni pregled interesa Unije v zvezi z ukrepi glede debelih pločevin, če je ustrezno utemeljen.
The Commission rejects these submissions as these interested parties failed to substantiate their claim with any evidence or analysis, for example by these wind turbine tower producers making themselves known within the timelines defined in the Notice of Initiation and completing a questionnaire reply, specifying the types of heavy plate used by this industry to build wind turbine towers, and providing an analysis whether these types of heavy plate are interchangeable with the types of heavy plate used in other industries.
Poleg tega preiskava ni pokazala, da bi industrija Unije ogrožala dejavnosti uporabnikov.
The Commission notes that information on file shows that wind turbine tower producers could not benefit from excluding ‘special heavy plate’ from the product scope, as described in recital 42 above.
Pri običajnem delovanju tržnih sil ni pričakovati takšnega ravnanja.
Therefore, only an exclusion of heavy plate for wind turbine towers for reasons of Union interest could address their concern.
En uvoznik je navedel, da je izključitev „posebnih debelih pločevin“ iz obsega izdelka v interesu Unije, saj naj bi bilo „več ključnih industrij“, kot sta „sektor za izdelavo strojev in energetski sektor“ Unije, odvisnih od uvoza „posebnih debelih pločevin“ iz LRK.
However, at this stage, the producers of wind turbine towers have not provided any concrete and detailed analysis, including an explanation of the imposition of duties on their cost of production and their ability to pass those costs on to their customers that could justify such exclusion.
Toda te trditve ni potrdil nobeden od uporabnikov iz teh industrij.
The Commission notes further that wind turbine tower producers can request, if duly substantiated, an interim review on Union interest on the measures on heavy plate.
Ta uvoznik je nadalje trdil, da „posebne debele pločevine“ debeline nad 150 mm proizvajajo le trije proizvajalci Unije.
Moreover the investigation revealed no indications that the Union industry would jeopardise the operations of the users.
Proizvodnjo pločevin z visoko mejo lezenja, hitro hlajenih in kaljenih pločevin ter debelih pločevin, odpornih proti odrgnjenju, naj bi obvladovali le štirje proizvajalci Unije.
Such behaviour is not to be expected under the normal play of market forces.
Na podlagi tega trdijo, da industrija Unije na koncu proizvodne verige „že danes trpi zaradi pomanjkanja oskrbe in močnega zvišanja prodajnih cen“ ter da je to mogoče izravnati le z uvozom „posebnih debelih pločevin“ iz LRK.
One importer submitted that the exclusion of ‘special heavy plate’ from the product scope is in the interest of the Union as allegedly ‘several key industries’ such as ‘machine building and energy sector’ in the Union are reliant on the import of ‘special heavy plate’ from the PRC.
CISA je nadalje navedla, da bi lahko tudi uporabniki „posebnih debelih pločevin“ na področju industrije oblikovanja kovin zaradi zelo omejenega števila evropskih proizvajalcev „posebnih debelih pločevin“ utrpeli pomanjkanje oskrbe.
However, none of the users in these industries came forward confirming this claim.
Toda nobeden od uporabnikov v tej industriji na koncu proizvodne verige ni opozoril na nezadostno oskrbo.
This importer further claimed that the ‘special heavy plate’ in thickness of above 150 mm is produced only by three Union producers.
Komisija zavrača navedbe iz uvodnih izjav 173 do 175 zgoraj, saj zainteresirane strani svojih trditev niso podkrepile z dokazi ali analizo.
For high yield strength plate, quenched and tempered plate and abrasion resistant heavy plate the production is allegedly controlled by only four Union producers.
Preiskava je ravno nasprotno pokazala znatno znižanje cen debelih pločevin v Uniji v obravnavanem obdobju.
CISA submitted further that users of ‘special heavy plate’ in the metal forming industry — due to the very limited number of European producers of ‘special heavy plate’ — could equally suffer from a shortage of supply.
Poleg tega je po navedbah združenja CISA količina uvoženih „posebnih debelih pločevin“ iz LRK majhna.
However, none of the users in this downstream industry raised the issue of a shortage in supply.
Ker ni bilo predloženih nobenih dejanskih dokazov o domnevnem pomanjkanju oskrbe zaradi uvedbe protidampinških ukrepov, Komisija ne more zaključiti, da bo uvedba takih ukrepov povzročila pomanjkanje oskrbe s „posebnimi debelimi pločevinami“.
The Commission rejects the submissions referred to in recitals 173 to 175 above as the interested parties failed to substantiate their claims with any evidence or analysis.
Sklep o interesu Unije
To the contrary, the investigation established a significant drop of heavy plate prices in the Union during the period considered.
Če povzamemo, nobena trditev zainteresiranih strani ni pokazala, da obstajajo prepričljivi razlogi proti uvedbi ukrepov za uvoz zadevnega izdelka iz LRK.
Also, the investigation has shown that the Union industry has a significant spare capacity due to a continuously decreasing capacity utilisation.
Razpoložljivost alternativnih virov oskrbe zmanjšuje morebitne negativne učinke na nepovezane uporabnike.
Also, according to CISA the volume of ‘special heavy plate’ exported by the PRC is minor.
Pozitivni učinki protidampinških ukrepov na trg Unije, zlasti na industrijo Unije, prevladajo nad morebitnimi negativnimi učinki na druge interesne skupine.
Following final disclosure, one importer returned to this issue in their comments to the final disclosure.
Ker v zvezi z interesom Unije ni bilo drugih pripomb, se sklepi iz uvodnih izjav 195 do 215 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
However, no new essential arguments were raised.
RETROAKTIVNA UVEDBA PROTIDAMPINŠKIH DAJATEV
In the absence of any factual evidence on an alleged shortage of supply due to the imposition of anti-dumping measures, the Commission cannot conclude that the imposition of such measures will lead to a shortage of supply of ‘special heavy plate’.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 4 zgoraj, je Komisija na podlagi zahtevka združenja Eurofer uvedla obvezno registracijo uvoza debele pločevine s poreklom iz LRK.
Conclusion on the Union interest
Uvoz med 11. avgustom 2016 in uvedbo začasnih ukrepov 7. oktobra 2016 je bil registriran.
In summary, none of the arguments put forward by interested parties demonstrate that there are compelling reasons against the imposition of measures on imports of the product concerned from the PRC.
V skladu s členom 10(4)(d) osnovne uredbe se lahko dajatev uvede retroaktivno, če „poleg ravni uvoza, ki je povzročal škodo v teku obdobja preiskave, obstaja nadaljnja znatna rast uvoza, ki bo zaradi svoje časovne opredeljenosti in obsega in drugih okoliščin verjetno resno ogrozil popravljalni učinek dokončne protidampinške dajatve, ki se bo uporabila“.
Any negative effects on the unrelated users are mitigated by the availability of alternative sources of supply.
Pripombe v zvezi z morebitno retroaktivno uvedbo protidampinških dajatev
The positive effects of the anti-dumping measures on the Union market, in particular on the Union industry, outweigh the potential negative effect on the other interest groups.
CISA je navedla, da bi morebitni retroaktivni ukrepi negativno vplivali na uvoznike, ki bi „imeli nepotrebne dodatne stroške“, saj plačujejo protidampinške dajatve.
In the absence of any other comments concerning the Union interest, the conclusions reached in recitals 195 to 215 of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
CISA je trdila, da uvozniki „nimajo nikakršnega namena, da bi kopičili zaloge zadevnega izdelka“ iz LRK, in da je registrirani uvoz preostali del starih pogodb, ki so bile sklenjene pred začetkom postopka.
RETROACTIVE IMPOSITION OF ANTI-DUMPING DUTIES
CISA je trdila tudi, da „bo nepričakovana dajatev povzročila izgube“ za uvoznike in uporabnike v Uniji.
As mentioned in recital 4 above, following the request of Eurofer, the Commission made imports of heavy plate originating in the PRC subject to registration.
CISA je na koncu navedla, da „registracija uvoza in grožnje z uvedbo retroaktivnih ukrepov niso nič drugega kot oviranje za namen trgovinske zaščite, da bi uvozniki EU prenehali uvažati iz Kitajske, še preden bi se dokazalo, da tak uvoz dejansko škoduje industriji EU“.
Imports that have been made between 11 August 2016 and the imposition of provisional measures, namely 7 October 2016, were registered.
