natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
The claims of the interested party in question with regard to the analysis of the spare capacity in the PRC were therefore rejected.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da se med obdobjem preiskave zaradi pregleda ravnanje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov v smislu nelojalnega nižanja cen in morebitnih dampinških praks ni spremenilo.
Behaviour of the Chinese exporters on the markets of third countries
Privlačnost trga Unije
In order to determine whether Chinese exporting producers still continue their low-priced export practices, the Commission examined the price level with regard to Chinese exports sales to its three most important export markets, namely Turkey, Malaysia and South Korea.
Trg Unije je drugi največji trg za melamin na svetu, na katerem po ocenah povpraševanje znaša skoraj polovico povpraševanja kitajskega domačega trga.
Exports to these markets represented approximately 36 % of Chinese exports of the product under investigation during the RIP.
Pred uvedbo ukrepov je bila Unija za Kitajsko tradicionalni trg: kitajski uvoz je v prvotni preiskavi v povprečju dosegal 30000 ton na leto, tj. več kot trikratnik sedanjega izvoza v Unijo.
Additionally, the Commission also examined the price level with regard to Chinese export sales to the analogue country Japan.
Povprečna cena na trgu Unije (1149 EUR/tono) je na splošno višja od povprečne kitajske izvozne cene (855 EUR/tono) na njenih glavnih izvoznih trgih.
The export price to third countries markets was established on the basis of data available from the PRC export statistics, namely on the basis of the quantities and values (adjusted from FOB basis to ex-works) of exports from the PRC.
Proizvajalci izvozniki so po uvedbi ukrepov še naprej izvažali v Unijo in ohranili poslovne odnose z uporabniki iz Unije.
The average Chinese export prices to the selected countries were significantly lower than the minimum import price to the Union established in the original investigation as well as the level of the domestic prices found on the Japanese market in the current expiry review.
Zato je verjetno, da bodo kitajski proizvajalci del svojih obsežnih neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti usmerili na trg Unije, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati in bi kitajski izvozniki lahko izvažali po cenah pod trenutno veljavno minimalno uvozno ceno.
Furthermore, recent findings of the US authorities which resulted in the imposition of the anti-dumping measures against imports of the product concerned from China also confirm continued unfair trade practices by Chinese exporting producers.
Poleg tega so protidampinške in izravnalne dajatve, ki so jih ZDA nedavno uvedle [12] za kitajski melamin, za LRK pomenile praktično zaprtje obsežnega trga z visokimi cenami.
Thus the Commission concluded that during the review investigation period the behaviour of the Chinese exporting producers, in terms of price undercutting and possibly dumping practices, did not change.
V letih 2013 in 2014 je LRK v ZDA prodala 10841 oziroma 12764 ton melamina, v letu 2015 pa se je uvoz zmanjšal na 786 ton in nadalje na 213 ton v letu 2016, zaradi česar so se sprostile precejšnje količine na voljo za izvoz v druge namembne države (okrog 12000 ton).
Attractiveness of the Union market
Zato bi bile, če bi ukrepi prenehali veljati, za preusmeritev na trg Unije že v kratkem na voljo dodatne velike količine poceni melamina.
The Union market is the second biggest market for melamine in the world with an estimated demand of almost half the demand of the Chinese domestic market.
Po dokončnem razkritju je CCPIT ugovarjal zgornjim ugotovitvam o privlačnosti trga Unije.
Before the introduction of the measures, the Union was a traditional market for China: Chinese imports in the original investigation reached 30000 tonnes per year on average, i.e. more than three times their current level of exports to the Union.
Zadevna zainteresirana stran se najprej ni strinjala, da je bil trg Unije pred uvedbo ukrepov tradicionalen trg za izvoz melamina iz LRK.
The average price on the Union market (1149 EUR/tonne) is also in general higher than the average Chinese export price (855 EUR/tonne) on its main export markets.
CCPIT je v zvezi s tem podaril, da se je kitajski izvoz v Unijo drastično zmanjšal že v obdobju 2007–2010, pred uvedbo ukrepov.
Even after the imposition of the measures, the exporting producers continued exporting to the Union and kept their business relations with Union users.
Drugič, zadevna zainteresirana stran je ugovarjala sklepu Komisije, da naj bi nedavna ameriška uvedba ukrepov trgovinske zaščite zoper Kitajsko povzročila preusmeritev trgovine iz ZDA v Unijo.
It is therefore likely that the Chinese producers will channel part of their vast spare capacities to the Union market if the measures were allowed to lapse and the Chinese would be able to export below the MIP currently in force.
V podporo tej trditvi se je CCPIT skliceval na položaj na indijskem trgu, ki kljub ukrepom zaščite ostaja najpomembnejši izvozni trg za kitajske proizvajalce.
In addition, the recent anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the USA [12] on Chinese melamine resulted in a practical closure of a sizeable and high-priced market for the PRC.
V odgovor na zgoraj navedeno Komisija poudarja, da je upad obsega kitajskega izvoza v letih 2007–2010 sovpadal z drastičnim zmanjšanjem porabe v Uniji v tem obdobju zaradi gospodarske krize.
In the years 2013 and 2014, the PRC was selling 10841 and 12764 tonnes of melamine respectively to the USA, which then dropped to 786 tonnes in 2015 and 213 tonnes in 2016 freeing up significant quantities (in the range of 12000 tonnes) for other destinations.
Trg Unije za melamin se je v tem obdobju skrčil za več kot 30 %.
Therefore, further significant volumes of low-priced melamine would be available for redirection to the Union already in the short term in case the measures were allowed to lapse.
Poleg tega se je na začetku leta 2010 protidampinški postopek že začel, kar bi običajno že v zgodnji fazi vplivalo na obseg trgovine iz zadevne države.
Following definitive disclosure CCPIT contested the above findings on attractiveness of the Union market.
Drugič, Komisija je v zvezi z indijskim trgom ugotovila, da so ukrepi, ki jih je uvedla Indija, precej nižji od ukrepov, ki so jih uvedle ZDA [13].
The interested party in question firstly disagreed that the Union market had been a traditional market for PRC exports of the melamine before the imposition of the measures.
Poleg tega je vpliv ameriških ukrepov na obseg kitajskega izvoza že jasno viden, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 74 zgoraj.
CCPIT highlighted in this regard that the Chinese export to the Union decreased drastically already in the period 2007-2010, prior to the imposition of the measures.
Ob upoštevanju zgoraj navedenega so bile trditve CCPIT glede privlačnosti trga Unije zavrnjene.
Secondly, the interested party in question disputed the Commission's conclusion that the recent imposition of the trade defence measures against China by the USA would result in redirection of the trade volumes from the USA to the Union.
Sklep o dampingu in verjetnosti nadaljevanja dampinga
As a support for this argument the CCPIT referred to the situation on the Indian market which, although protected for years by measures, still remains the main export market for Chinese producers.
Preiskava je pokazala, da kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki prodajajo po dampinških cenah na trgu Unije.
In response to the above, the Commission emphasised that the decrease of Chinese export volumes to the Union from 2007 to 2010 coincided with the drastic decrease of the Union consumption in this period due to the economic crisis.
Prav tako so nadaljevali s poceni in domnevno dampinškim uvozom na trge tretjih držav.
The Union market of melamine shrunk in this period by more than 30 %.
Komisija je prav tako ugotovila precejšnje neizkoriščene zmogljivosti na Kitajskem, ki bi lahko zadovoljile celotno porabo v Uniji in na Kitajskem, tudi v primeru povečanja domače porabe na Kitajskem v prihodnosti.
Furthermore, in the beginning of 2010 the anti-dumping procedure was already initiated which would also normally already at an early stage have had some impact on the trade volumes originating in the country concerned.
Trg Unije zaradi velikosti in visokih cen ostaja privlačen za kitajske proizvajalce izvoznike.
Secondly, with regard to the Indian market the Commission observed that the measures imposed by India are on much lower level that those imposed by the USA [13].
To ugotovitev dodatno krepi dejansko zaprtje enega izmed pomembnih kitajskih izvoznih trgov – ZDA – zaradi ukrepov zaščite.
Furthermore, the effect of the US measures on Chinese export volumes is already clearly visible as indicated in recital (74) above.
Na podlagi tega je Komisija ugotovila, da je zelo verjetno, da bi se v primeru izteka ukrepov izvoz velikih količin kitajskega melamina v Unijo po dampinških cenah nadaljeval.
In light of the above, the claims of CCPIT concerning the attractiveness of the Union market were rejected.
D. INDUSTRIJA UNIJE
Conclusion on dumping and likelihood of continuation of dumping
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je podobni izdelek proizvajalo pet proizvajalcev Unije [14].
The investigation showed that the Chinese exporting producers were selling at dumped prices to the Union market.
Ti pomenijo „industrijo Unije“ v smislu člena 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
They have also continued their low priced, and allegedly dumped, exports to the third countries' markets.
Trije vložniki [15], ki predstavljajo tudi vzorčene proizvajalce Unije [16], so trije največji proizvajalci, ki so po ocenah v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom proizvedli več kot 80 % podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
The Commission also established a significant spare capacity in China capable of satisfying the total consumption in the Union and in China, even in the case of an increase in the Chinese domestic consumption in the future.
Dva druga proizvajalca z omejeno proizvodnjo nista nasprotovala začetku preiskave.
Finally, the Union market remains attractive for the Chinese exporting producers given its size and high prices.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila, da je Komisija pri preverjanju v skladu s členom 4(1) osnovne uredbe upoštevala le uvoz iz LRK za nadaljnjo prodajo in ne vsega uvoza.
This finding is further strengthened by the actual closure by protective measures of one of the important Chinese export markets — the USA.
Zato so se nekateri proizvajalci Unije lahko napačno šteli kot del industrije Unije.
On that basis, the Commission established that it is very likely that significant volumes of Chinese melamine would continue to be exported to the Union at dumped prices in case the measures were allowed to lapse.
Poleg tega se je zainteresirana stran pritožila tudi, da eden izmed proizvajalcev Unije v odgovorih na vprašalnik ni razkril porekla uvoza.
D. UNION INDUSTRY
Samo eden izmed proizvajalcev Unije, ki je izpolnil obrazec, je uvažal melamin iz LRK in to zgolj za krajše obdobje (v letih 2012 in 2013) ter v zanemarljivih količinah (manj kot 0,2 % njegove prodaje neodvisnim strankam v Uniji).
The like product was manufactured by five Union producers during the review investigation period [14].
Ta trditev je bila zato zavrnjena.
They constitute the ‘Union industry’ within the meaning of Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
V zvezi z drugo točko proizvajalec Unije v odgovoru na vprašalnik ni navedel države porekla svojih nakupov (ne nujno uvoza), da ne bi razkril identitete svojega dobavitelja.
The three applicants [15] who also constituted the sampled Union producers [16] are the three biggest producers accounting for over 80 % of the estimated Union production of the like product during the review investigation period.
V vsakem primeru, kot je že omenjeno zgoraj, so količine uvoza iz LRK zanemarljive.
The two other producers with limited production did not object to the initiation of the investigation.
Posledično je bila Komisija mnenja, da je ta proizvajalec Unije del industrije Unije, kot je opredeljena v členu 4(1) osnovne uredbe.
One interested party argued that the Commission when examining standing under Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation only considered imports from the PRC that were re-sold and not all imports.
V odsotnosti nadaljnjih pripomb se sestava industrije Unije s tem potrdi.
Therefore certain Union producers might have been erroneously considered as part of the Union industry.
E. RAZMERE NA TRGU UNIJE
Moreover, the interested party further complained that the origin of imports was not revealed by one of the Union producers in its questionnaire reply.
Poraba Unije
Only one of the Union producers providing a reply to the standing form, imported melamine from the PRC and only for a limited time (in 2012 and in 2013) and in negligible quantities (less than 0,2 % of its Union sales to independent customers).
Poraba Unije je bila določena s prištetjem uvoza iz LRK in tretjih držav na podlagi Eurostatovih podatkov o prodaji industrije Unije na trgu Unije.
Therefore this claim was rejected.
Podatki o prodaji industrije Unije na trgu Unije so bili pridobljeni iz zahtevka za pregled, kakor je bil prilagojen na podlagi podatkov, navedenih v izpolnjenih vprašalnikih vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije za OPP.
With regard to the second point, the Union producer did not mention the country of origin of its purchases (not necessarily imports) in its questionnaire reply in order not to reveal the identity of its supplier.
V obravnavanem obdobju je bila poraba Unije naslednja
In any case, as it was already mentioned above, the import volumes from the PRC were negligible.
Preglednica 1
Consequently, the Commission considered that this Union producer forms part of the Union industry, as defined by Article 4(1) of the basic Regulation.
Vir: zahtevek za pregled, Eurostat, preverjeni odgovori na vprašalnik.
In the absence of any further comments, the composition of the Union industry was hereby confirmed.
OPP
E. SITUATION ON THE UNION MARKET
Količina (v tonah)
Union consumption was established by adding imports from the PRC and third countries based on Eurostat to the sales of the Union industry on the Union market.
Poraba Unije se je v obravnavanem obdobju stalno povečevala, pri čemer se je skupno povečala za 12 %, tj. s skoraj 350000 ton leta 2012 na skoraj 393000 ton v OPP.
Sales of the Union industry on the Union market were obtained from the review request as adjusted on the basis of data provided in the replies of the sampled Union producers for the RIP.
To povečanje porabe odraža splošno gospodarsko okrevanje po svetovni finančni in gospodarski krizi.
During the period considered the Union consumption developed as follows
V zvezi s tem je bilo leto 2012 še vedno težko, saj je gradbeni sektor, največja gonilna sila porabe melamina, razmeroma počasi okreval [17].
Table 1
To je vplivalo ne le na porabo, ampak tudi na prodajne cene in nekatere druge kazalnike škode, kot je prikazano spodaj.

Obseg in tržni delež uvoza iz LRK
Union consumption continuously increased over the period considered, an overall increase by 12 %, i.e. from almost 350000 tonnes in 2012 to almost 393000 tonnes during the RIP.
Vir: Eurostat
This increase in consumption reflects the overall economic revival following the global financial and economic crisis.
Količina uvoza (v tonah)
In that respect, 2012 was still a difficult year, as the construction sector, the biggest sector driving melamine consumption, experienced a relatively slow recovery [17].
Tržni delež (%)
This had implications not only on the consumption but also on the sales prices and some other injury indicators as will be seen below.
Po uvedbi protidampinških dajatev je uvoz melamina iz LRK močno upadel [18].
Import from the PRC to the Union
Vseeno je kitajski uvoz še vedno prisoten na trgu Unije.
Volume, price and market share of imports from the PRC
Obseg uvoza iz LRK se je v zadevnem obdobju povečal z nekoliko več kot 1300 ton na skoraj 8000 ton.
Table 2
Med letoma 2012 in 2013 je bilo zaznano povečanje (zlasti zaradi slabih rezultatov leta 2012), nato pa je obseg uvoza ostal razmeroma stabilen v vsem zadevnem obdobju in je zajemal približno 2-odstotni tržni delež.

Market share (%)
Povprečna cena CIF meja Unije EUR/tono
Following the imposition of the anti-dumping duties, imports of melamine from the PRC dropped considerably [18].
Povprečne izvozne cene iz LRK so ostale v zadevnem obdobju razmeroma stabilne, pri čemer so skupaj padle za 7 % in dosegle 1113 EUR/tono v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom [19].
Nevertheless, Chinese imports are still present on the Union market.
Ugotovljene ravni cen (in njihova stabilnost) so večinoma posledica veljavnih cen, zlasti minimalne uvozne cene.
Import volumes from the PRC increased from just over 1300 tonnes to almost 8000 tonnes during the period considered.
Delež uvoza v okviru sheme minimalne uvozne cene je v zadevnem obdobju postopno rasel in je zajel večino kitajskega uvoza med obdobjem preiskave v zvezi s pregledom [20].
There was a notable increase from 2012 to 2013 (mainly due to the poor performance in 2012) following which the volumes remained relatively stable throughout the period considered covering a market share of around 2 %.
Kitajski uvoz z uporabo povprečne uvozne cene po podatkih Eurostata ni izpodbijal cen industrije Unije.
Price of PRC imports and price undercutting
Glede na to, da je večina uvoza iz LRK potekala v okviru sheme minimalne uvozne cene, sporočena raven cen morda ne odraža realnih cen, po katerih bi kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki prodajali melamin na trgu Unije, če ukrepi ne bi veljali.
Table 3
To podpirajo podatki iz kitajske zbirke podatkov o izvozu, ki razkrivajo, da so cene praktično celotnega kitajskega uvoza v preostale dele sveta, precej pod minimalno uvozno ceno.
Average price of imports from the PRC
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav
Average CIF Union frontier price (EUR/tonne)
Melamin se uvaža v Unijo iz več tretjih držav, kot je razvidno v preglednici spodaj:
The average import prices from the PRC remained relatively stable during the period considered, with an overall decrease of 7 % reaching 1113 EUR/tonne in the review investigation period [19].
Preglednica 4
The observed price levels (and their stability) are most likely due to the measures in force, in particular the MIP.
Uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav in njegov tržni delež
The share of the imports under the MIP scheme increased steadily during the period considered and covered the majority of all Chinese imports in the review investigation period [20].
Obseg uvoza (v tonah)
Given that the majority of the imports from the PRC entered via the MIP scheme, the reported price level does not necessarily reflect the ‘real’ prices on which Chinese exporting producers would be selling melamine in the Union market absent the measures.
Rusija
This is supported by the data from the Chinese export database which reveals that practically all Chinese imports to the rest of the world are priced well below the MIP.
Združene države Amerike
Import from other third countries
Trinidad in Tobago
Melamine is imported into the Union from several third countries as can be seen in the table below:

V obravnavanem obdobju se je uvoz iz tretjih držav v Unijo stalno povečeval, in sicer se je s približno 66000 ton leta 2012 povečal na približno 97000 ton v OPP, tj. za 46 %.
United States of America
Podobno se je njihov tržni delež povečal z 19 % leta 2012 na skoraj 25 % v OPP.
Trinidad and Tobago
Najpomembnejše tretje države uvoznice so Katar, Rusija, Združene države Amerike, Trinidad in Tobago ter Japonska, kot tudi rastoč delež „drugih držav“, ki jih Eurostat ne opredeljuje.
Japan
Kljub precejšnjemu tržnemu deležu uvoz iz tretjih držav ni imel škodljivega učinka na industrijo Unije, kot je mogoče videti iz razvoja kazalnikov škode, kot je razloženo spodaj.
Other countries [21]
Razlog za to je, da četudi je bila njihova povprečna raven cene nekoliko pod minimalno uvozno ceno (v razponu 1000 EUR/tono v zadevnem obdobju) [22], ni bila nikoli tako nizka kot kitajske cene, zabeležene med prvotno preiskavo, ali trenutne kitajske izvozne cene za preostali svet (približno 855 EUR/tono, prilagojeno CIF meja Unije).
Total
Še bolj pomembno je, da imajo vsi ti viri dokaj omejene proizvodne zmogljivosti (večinoma v razponu 50000 ton do 60000 ton letno) [23], kar pomeni, da nimajo enakega destabilizacijskega učinka na ravnovesje ponudbe in povpraševanja na trgu melamina, kot ga je LRK lahko ustvarila med prvotno preiskavo.
Index (2012 = 100)
CCPIT je trdil, da industrija Unije ni konkurenčna in se bori za konkurenčnost s tretjimi državami izvoznicami.
Average price (EUR/tonne) CIF Union frontier
Stranka je trdila, da bi bila škoda, ki bi jo utrpela industrija Unije, posledica izvoza iz tretjih držav in ne iz LRK.
During the period considered, imports from third countries into the Union continuously increased from around 66000 tons in 2012 to around 97000 tons in the RIP, i.e. by 46 %.
Ugotovitve in sklepi glede škode nasprotujejo tej trditvi, kot je natančneje opisano v oddelku 5 spodaj.
Similarly their market share has increased from 19 % in 2012 to almost 25 % in the RIP.
Ukrepi so ustvarili poštene tržne pogoje, v katerih industrija Unije konkurira uvozu iz drugih držav, vključno uvozu iz LRK (skupaj predstavlja več kot 25 % porabe Unije v OPP) ter je hkrati lahko okrevala po škodi, ki jo je utrpela v preteklosti.
The main importing third countries include Qatar, Russia, United States of America, Trinidad and Tobago and Japan with a growing share of ‘other countries’ not specified in Eurostat.
To dokazuje, da je industrija Unije sposobna konkurirati konkurenci, kadar ta posluje pošteno.
Despite this significant market share, imports from third countries did not have an injurious effect on the Union industry as it can be seen from the development of the injury indicators as explained below.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
The reason is that even though their average price level was somewhat below the MIP (in the range of 1000 EUR/tonne throughout the period considered) [22] it was never as low as the Chinese prices observed during the original investigation or the current Chinese export prices to the rest of the world (around 855 EUR/tonne adjusted to CIF Union frontier).
Splošne opombe
Even more importantly, all these sources have rather limited production capacity (mostly in the range of 50000 tonnes to 60000 tonnes annually) [23] which means that they do not have the same destabilising impact on the supply/demand balance of the melamine market as the PRC was able to exert in the original investigation.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe preučila vse gospodarske dejavnike in kazalnike, ki vplivajo na položaj industrije Unije.
CCPIT claimed that the Union industry is uncompetitive and struggles to compete with third countries exports.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 14, se je vzorčenje uporabilo za določitev morebitne škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The party argued that to the extent the Union industry might be suffering injury this injury is caused by the exports from third countries other than the PRC.
Komisija je za določitev škode razlikovala med makro- in mikroekonomskimi kazalniki škode.
The findings and conclusions on injury contradict this claim as it is described in detail in Section 5 below.
Makroekonomske kazalnike, povezane s celotno industrijo Unije, je ocenila na podlagi podatkov, ki so bili predloženi in preverjeni z odgovori vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije na vprašalnik, in informacij iz zahtevka za pregled, prilagojenih na podlagi razvoja vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije za OPP.
