For the same sampled exporting producer, evidence collected showed that the LUR prices it obtained were not based on ‘market prices’, but were negotiated with the Land Bureau.
Kitajski proizvajalci izdelka, ki se pregleduje, bi verjetno izstopili iz fotovoltaičnega sektorja, če ne bi imeli vladne podpore v obliki financiranja z javnimi sredstvi.
The above evidence contradicts the claims of the GOC that the prices paid for LUR in the PRC are representative of a market price which is determined by free market supply and demand.
Zagotovljena javna sredstva jasno kažejo, da je namen kitajske vlade podpirati fotonapetostno industrijo in zagotoviti njeno preživetje.
The Commission established in addition that LUR transfer did include restrictions in the tendering, auction and quotation procedures, which affect fair competition and found that certain sampled exporting producers received refunds from local authorities to compensate for the (already low) prices which they paid for the LURs.
Jasno kažejo tudi motivacijo in odločnost kitajske vlade, da nadaljuje svoje politike podpore.
The findings of the investigation confirm that the situation concerning land provision and acquisition in the PRC is unclear and non-transparent and the prices are often arbitrarily set by the authorities.
Kitajska vlada je kljub večkratnim zahtevam zavrnila predložitev kakršnih koli informacij v zvezi s tako finančno pomočjo z javnimi sredstvi.
The authorities set the prices according to the Urban Land Evaluation System, which is updated only every three years.
Proizvajalci, ki so prejeli taka javna sredstva, niso sodelovali v preiskavi, čeprav so med največjimi proizvajalci/izvozniki v Unijo.
Accordingly, the provision of land-use rights by the GOC should be considered a subsidy within the meaning of Article 3(1)(a)(iii) and Article 3(2) of the basic Regulation in the form of provision of goods which confers a benefit upon the recipient companies.
Glede na navedeno in na podlagi razpoložljivih dejstev je mogoče skleniti le, da je zelo verjetno, da se bo taka vrsta državne podpore nadaljevala tudi v prihodnje.
As explained in recitals 427 to 430 above, there is no functioning market for land in the PRC and the use of an external benchmark (see recitals 435 to 437 below) demonstrates that the amount paid for land-use rights by the sampled exporting producers is well below the normal market rate.
Preferenčno financiranje
The subsidy is specific under Article 4(2)(a) and 4(2)(c) of the basic Regulation because the preferential access to industrial land is limited only to companies belonging to certain industries, in this case the photovoltaic industry, only certain transactions were subject to a bidding process, prices are often being set by the authorities and government practices in this area are unclear and non-transparent.
Kitajska vlada si prizadeva preoblikovati finančni trg, pri čemer začenja z liberalizacijo obrestnih mer, ni pa predložila nobenih prepričljivih dokazov, da bo učinkovito zmanjšala preferenčno financiranje spodbujanih industrij.
Consequently, this subsidy is considered countervailable.
Natančneje, taka reforma ne bi imela učinka na lastniške strukture finančnih institucij ali nadzor države nad njihovimi odločitvami o izdaji posojil v skladu s politikami države v bližnji prihodnosti.
As in the original investigation and in accordance with Article 6(d)(ii) of the basic Regulation, land prices from the Separate Customs Territory of Taiwan were used as an external bench mark.
Nepovratna sredstva
The benefit conferred on the recipients is calculated by taking into consideration the difference between the amount actually paid by each of the sampled exporting producers (reduced by the amount of local government refunds/grants, where applicable) for land use rights and the amount that should normally have been paid on the basis of the Taiwanese benchmark.
Nepovratna sredstva v okviru programa Golden Sun so bila dodeljena med letoma 2009 in 2012 in se obračunavajo v 20 letih.
Following the methodology applied in the original investigation, the Commission used the average land price per square meter established in Taiwan corrected for currency depreciation and GDP evolution as from the dates of the respective land use right contracts.
Ugodnosti za fotonapetostno industrijo se bodo torej nadaljevale do obdobja 2029–2032.
The information concerning industrial land prices was retrieved from the website of the Industrial Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Taiwan.
Druga ugotovljena nepovratna sredstva se prav tako obračunavajo glede na njihove značilnosti in lahko zagotavljajo ugodnosti tudi po OPP.
The currency depreciation and GDP evolution for Taiwan were calculated on the basis of inflation rates and evolution of GDP per capita at current prices in USD for Taiwan as published by the IMF for 2015.
Poleg tega sta bila med to preiskavo ugotovljena dva primera nepovratnih sredstev, ki nista bila izravnana v prvotni preiskavi.
In accordance with Article 7(3) of the basic Regulation this subsidy amount (numerator) has been allocated to the RIP using the normal life time of the land use right for industrial use land, i.e. 50 years.
Podrobnosti o teh primerih nepovratnih sredstev, in sicer o programu za razvoj zunanje trgovine in programih 863 in 973, so navedene v uvodnih izjavah 464 do 488.
This amount has then been allocated over the total sales turnover of the sampled exporting producers during the RIP, because the subsidy is not contingent upon export performance and was not granted by reference to the quantities manufactured, produced, exported or transported.
Ta primera nepovratnih sredstev kažeta, da se je nadaljevalo subvencioniranje z dodelitvijo nepovratnih sredstev fotonapetostni industriji, kar jasno kaže na verjetnost nadaljevanja te oblike subvencioniranja, če se izteče veljavnost ukrepov (in celo, če se ta ne bi iztekla).
Provision of land and LUR at LTAR
Ker ta primera nepovratnih sredstev nista bila izravnana v prvotni preiskavi, ni zagotovljena količinska opredelitev stopnje subvencije.
In its reply to the disclosure the GOC made various claims that the Commission had not met the substantive legal and evidentiary standards as regards the determination of a financial contribution and benefit in respect of this LUR scheme.
Nazadnje, kar zadeva zagotavljanje nepovratnih sredstev fotonapetostni industriji v prihodnje, Komisija meni, da je to zelo verjetno iz dveh razlogov.
The GOC restated its belief that the LUR system in the PRC results in the granting of LURs representative of market prices which are determined by free market supply and demand.
Prvič, v novem 13. petletnem načrtu je še vedno navedena fotonapetostna industrija.
However, as demonstrated in the original investigation in recitals 357 to 359 and confirmed in this investigation the GOC failed to supply key information in order to allow a proper analysis by the Commission.
Drugič, kitajska vlada za raziskovalne in razvojne programe, ki temeljijo na 13. petletnem načrtu, ni navedla, da so razveljavljeni ali da bodo razveljavljeni.
Secondly, based on the information available in the current investigation it is still clear that the existence of the ‘dynamic land monitoring system’ and the ‘urban land evaluation system’ did not ensure that market prices operated according to market supply and demand principles.
Program za razvoj zunanje trgovine
Due to the lack of data supplied by the GOC it was not possible to identify the true nature of the system which was operating.
To so nepovratna sredstva v pavšalnem znesku za podporo izvoznim dejavnostim.
In fact, in accordance with Article 28 the facts available to the Commission clearly suggested that a benchmark was required for the reasons indicated above.
Ta program upravlja ministrstvo za finance.
In addition from the information available it was clear, whether LURs had been allocated prior to the original investigation or subsequent to it, that for the sampled companies there was no evidence of a proper functioning auction (or other) system which operated on market principles.
Družba mora biti odobrena in registrirana, da bi koristila ta nepovratna sredstva.
On the contrary, the evidence described above pointed to a system which provided the PV sector with preferential rates which were non-transparently allocated to them.
Poleg tega so kanadski organi leta 2015 proti temu programu uvedli izravnalne ukrepe [49].
As the Commission had indicated in the general disclosure document, the few land notices obtained during the investigation clearly indicated that land was only offered to targeted industries through a system of ‘sector orientation’.
Kitajska vlada ni predložila informacij o tem programu.
Also the prices had been pre-set before the auction and did not change as only one pre-known bidder came forward in the auction.
Komisija zato ni mogla preveriti vseh vidikov sheme in zlasti dejanskih ugodnosti, prenesenih na proizvajalce izvoznike izdelka, ki se pregleduje, in celoten fotonapetostni sektor.
The transactions examined of the sampled producers also indicated the existence of refunds and other deductions made in respect of LURs as well as evidence that some rates had been negotiated with the land bureau.
Zato je bilo treba nekatere ugotovitve preiskave utemeljiti na razpoložljivih dejstvih v skladu s členom 28 osnovne uredbe.
The GOC commented in its response to the disclosure that such matters did not indicate that the LUR system did not operate on market principles.
Glavna pravna podlaga je ukrep upravljanja sklada za razvoj zunanje trgovine (Caiqi (2010) št. 114) ministrstva za finance.
However, the individual subsidy margin calculated for each sampled company (including deductions etcetera where appropriate) was disclosed to the party concerned and no comments were received that calculations were not accurate in this respect.
Za vzorčenega proizvajalca izvoznika se je v OPP shema izvajala na podlagi Okrožnice finančnega oddelka province Jiangxi o izdaji sredstev za razvoj in podporo oddelka za zunanje gospodarstvo in trgovino province Jiangxi (tretji krog) za leto 2013, GanCaiQiZhi [2014] št. 31, in Okrožnice finančnega oddelka province Jiangxi o izdaji sredstev za razvoj in podporo oddelka za zunanje gospodarstvo in trgovino province Jiangxi (tretji krog) za leto 2014, GanCaiQiZhi [2015] št. 25.
The comments made by the GOC could not therefore be accepted.
Družba Jinko je predložila sklicevanje na glavno pravno podlago in kopiji dveh okrožnic iz zgornje uvodne izjave.
The GOC also claimed that the Commission considered all LURs acquired below the benchmark as receiving a benefit and that this was not sufficient to meet specificity requirements.
Trdila je, da je tudi leta 2012 prejela nepovratna sredstva v okviru tega programa.
However, it should be pointed out that the Commission's view on specificity is that it is the existence of a distorted and non-transparent LUR system, taken together with clear evidence of preferential transactions being granted to the PV sector, which demonstrates specificity in this investigation.
Changzhou Trina Solar Energy Co.
This claim was therefore also rejected.
Ltd in povezane družbe („Trina“) so prijavile, da so v okviru te sheme prejele nepovratna sredstva v OPP.
One exporting producer raised the issue that LURs acquired from entities it claimed to be private parties should not have been included in the calculation of benefits.
Na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij se ne zdi, da so ti programi splošno razpoložljivi vsem podjetjem na Kitajskem.
Firstly it should be noted that most land obtained by the sampled producers had been acquired directly from a land bureau of the Chinese Government.
S programom za razvoj zunanje trgovine se dodeljujejo subvencije v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(i) in (2) osnovne uredbe, in sicer s prenosom sredstev kitajske vlade na proizvajalce izdelka, ki se pregleduje, v obliki nepovratnih sredstev.
Secondly, even for the limited number of occasions where the LURs had been obtained from, allegedly, private parties the issue has no substance since in a system which has clearly been identified as not functioning on the basis of market principles and favouring certain sectors, the exporting producer concerned acquired the relevant LURs at rates which were also well below the benchmark established.
Program za razvoj zunanje trgovine pomeni specifične subvencije v obliki nepovratnih sredstev.
This claim was therefore rejected.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je imel eden od vzorčenih izvoznikov ugodnosti od te subvencije.
Support to mergers and restructuring in the PV sector
Nacionalni program za raziskave in razvoj na področju visoke tehnologije in nacionalni ključni program za temeljne raziskave in razvoj (programa 863 in 973)
In the press and websites of exporting producers in the PV sector, it has been found that there have been several large bail-outs of solar panel producers since the original investigation.
Program 863 je nacionalni program za raziskave in razvoj na področju visoke tehnologije, ki se osredotoča na ključne tehnologije za industrializacijo solarnih celic z visokim izkoristkom, kot so tankoslojne heterospojne solarne celice iz silicija ali kristalnega silicija razreda MW in nanožične solarne celice na osnovi silicija.
Most of the companies benefitting from such bailouts chose not to cooperate in this investigation and the Commission had thus to resort to facts available.
Nepovratna sredstva v okviru tega programa zagotavlja ministrstvo za znanost in tehnologijo.
No evidence was provided by the three sampled companies that would confirm that they had benefitted from this type of scheme during the RIP.
Družbe za ta nepovratna sredstva zaprosijo prek spleta [50].
However, at least four large Chinese exporting companies (three of which did not co-operate with the investigation) appear to have received substantial benefits in recent years which would fall under this scheme or a combination of this scheme and a preferential lending scheme.
Nepovratna sredstva so na voljo družbam, ki izpolnjujejo nekatere pogoje, kot sta uporaba napredne energetske tehnologije ali močna raziskovalno-razvojna zmogljivost.
A few illustrative examples found in the press:
Program 973 je nacionalni ključni program za temeljne raziskave in razvoj.
Shanghai Chaori Solar failed to meet an interest payment on 1 billion CNY worth of bonds in 2014.
Zajema na primer temeljne raziskave na področju solarnih celic z majhnimi izgubami in visokim izkoristkom.
A guarantee worth 880 million CNY was granted as a bailout by a State owned company (source: www.reuters.com).
Družbe morajo tako kot za program 863 tudi za nepovratna sredstva, ki jih zagotavlja ministrstvo za znanost in tehnologijo, zaprositi prek spleta [51].
Suntech Power Holdings was bailed out by its local authority (Wuxi City) in 2013 following a bond default.
Pogoji, ki jih morajo izpolniti družbe glede značilnosti projektov, vključujejo na primer inovativne zamisli, jasne cilje naprednih raziskav, ki temeljijo na ključnih nacionalnih potrebah, ter večdisciplinarne raziskave, ki imajo kitajske značilnosti in so mednarodnega pomena.
The amount of the bailout was around 150 million USD or around 930 million CNY (source: www.reuters.com).
Smernice za ključne tehnologije, za katere se lahko dodelijo nepovratna sredstva v okviru programov 863 in 973, se objavijo vsako leto.
A company in the Yingli Green Energy Group failed to make bond payments in 2015 and has received loans of 3.3 billion CNY from the China Development Bank and the city of Baoding as part of a restructuring plan (source: www.forbes.com).
Komisija je v svojem pozivu k dopolnitvi od kitajske vlade zahtevala, naj predloži nekatere vladne načrte, ki zajemajo navedena programa.
The total amounts involved are substantial, even if some form of amortisation would need to be taken into account.
Kitajska vlada se je sklicevala na vse druge dokumente, ki jih je že predložila Komisiji (ki se večinoma sploh niso nanašali na zadevna programa), in zaprosila Komisijo, naj pojasni, zakaj potrebuje take informacije, nato pa še navedla, da taki načrti ne obstajajo.
As the three sampled cooperating producers did not benefit from this subsidy, its effects were only taken into consideration for the general analysis of likelihood of continuation under 3.5.
Po drugi strani so bili predloženi številni začasni in upravni ukrepi v zvezi z upravljanjem takih načrtov (katerih obstoj je kitajska vlada izpodbijala).
Amount of subsidisation during the RIP
Ko je Komisija med preveritvami na kraju samem zahtevala dokumente, ki so pravna podlaga za zadevna programa (ker kitajska vlada v izpolnjenem vprašalniku ni odgovorila na to vprašanje), je kitajska vlada predložila upravne ukrepe v kitajskem jeziku za tri vladne načrte, povezane z raziskavami in razvojem na področju visoke tehnologije, temeljnimi raziskavami in razvojem ter podporo za znanost in tehnologijo.
The amounts of countervailable subsidies found during the RIP in accordance with the provisions of the basic Regulation, expressed ad valorem, for the sampled companies are set out in the table below:
Vendar Komisija zaradi časovnega okvira predložitve informacij in dejstva, da dokumentom ni bil predložen angleški prevod, teh dokumentov ni mogla preveriti na kraju samem.
Exporting producer
Komisija je kitajsko vlado tudi zaprosila, naj predloži statistične podatke v zvezi s financiranjem, zagotovljenim v okviru navedenih dveh projektov.
Definitive subsidy margin (%)
Kitajska vlada je zavrnila predložitev takih statističnih podatkov, saj po njenem mnenju financiranje ni povezano s proizvodnjo fotonapetostnih izdelkov.
On the basis of the above, it is concluded that subsidisation has continued during the RIP.
Trdila je tudi, da nihče od vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov ni imel ugodnosti od nobenega od navedenih dveh programov (ali katerega koli od programov, navedenih pod „različna nepovratna sredstva“), kar je bilo v nasprotju z informacijami, ki jih je predložil eden od vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
In view of absence of cooperation by three out of the ten main exporting producers (in terms of export sales to the Union) and the evidence on file that important subsidies were received by some of them (see recital 446), the above mentioned rates should be considered as conservative.
Komisija zato ni mogla preveriti vseh vidikov programov 863 in 973, ter zlasti dejanskih ugodnosti, prenesenih na proizvajalce izdelka, ki se pregleduje, in celoten fotonapetostni sektor.
Likelihood of continuation of subsidies if measures lapsed
Pravna podlaga za navedena dva programa so Upravni ukrepi za nacionalni načrt za raziskave in razvoj na področju visoke tehnologije (načrt 863), kakor je bil spremenjen leta 2011, Upravni ukrepi za nacionalni načrt podpore za znanost in tehnologijo, kakor je bil spremenjen leta 2011, in Upravni ukrepi za nacionalni ključni program za temeljne raziskave in razvoj (973), kakor je bil spremenjen leta 2011.
The Commission requested the GOC to indicate any (intended) amendments to GOC's plans and policies that could affect the Commission's subsidy findings.
Kitajska vlada je navedla, da se nepovratna sredstva, dodeljena v okviru programov 863 in 973, nanašajo samo na raziskave in razvoj, ne pa tudi na proizvodnjo izdelka, ki se pregleduje.
The GOC pointed towards the new 13th Five-year plan, which came into effect in March 2016 (i.e. post RIP) and will remain so up to 2020.
Poleg tega se po mnenju kitajske vlade proti programoma ne bi smeli uvesti izravnalni ukrepi, ker nista specifična.
This strategic plan replaces the 12th Five-year plan in which the supporting policies for the PV industry were prominently featured.
Te trditve se zavrnejo.
The Commission analysed the 13th Five-year plan and found that it also emphasises State support for technological breakthroughs on energy-related products and services, including for the new generation photovoltaic cells.
Dejstvo, da so bila nepovratna sredstva dodeljena za raziskave in razvoj izdelka, ki se pregleduje, pomeni neposreden prenos sredstev kitajske vlade, s katerimi se znatno znižajo stroški za raziskave in razvoj, ki bi jih prejemnik sicer imel.
While along with the 12th Five-year plan, the GOC also issued a specific plan for the solar PV industry, no similar specific plan for the PV industry was identified in parallel to the new 13th Five-year plan.
Za nepovratna sredstva se šteje, da so specifična, saj so do njih upravičene samo družbe, ki delujejo na področju ključnih tehnologij, navedenih v smernicah, ki se objavijo vsako leto.
The GOC claimed that it did not intend to issue a specific plan for the solar PV industry.
V smernicah so določene ključne tehnologije, za katere se lahko dodelijo nepovratna sredstva v okviru navedenih dveh programov.
Nevertheless, the explicit emphasis on new generation PV cells is a clear indication that support to the PV industry will continue also in the years to come.
Kitajska vlada je na zahtevo Komisije predložila smernice za leta 2011, 2013 in 2014.
Furthermore, the legal basis underlying PV policy support, such as the Law of the PRC on Scientific and Technological Progress (see recital 89, in which support measures for the PV industry are explicitly mentioned, remains in force.
V smernicah o ključnih tehnologijah za leto 2014 so izrecno navedene raziskave na področju solarnih celic.
At no point during the investigation did the GOC indicate that such laws will be repealed.
V smernicah za leta pred letom 2014 so prav tako izrecno navedene solarne celice in/ali sončna energija.
Support to mergers and restructuring
S programoma 863 in 973 se dodeljujejo subvencije v smislu člena 3(1)(a)(i) in (2) osnovne uredbe, in sicer s prenosom sredstev kitajske vlade na proizvajalce izdelka, ki se pregleduje, v obliki nepovratnih sredstev.
As explained in recitals 445 to 447, substantial bailouts of PV producers took place in the years following the original measures.
Programa 863 in 973 pomenita specifične subvencije v obliki nepovratnih sredstev.
The Chinese producers of the product under review concerned by those bailouts were likely to have left the PV business, if they had had no government support in the form of bailouts.
Davčne olajšave
The bailouts provided are a telling indication of the GOC's intention to support the PV industry and keep it afloat.
Za družbe v fotonapetostni industriji se uporabljajo različne preferenčne davčne sheme, ki so vključene v veljavno davčno zakonodajo.
It clearly demonstrates the GOC's motivation and determination to continue its supporting policies.
Kitajska vlada med posvetovanjem in preveritvenim obiskom ni navedla, da namerava spremeniti svoje davčne zakone.
The GOC refused to provide any information as regards such bailouts despite repeated requests.
Kar zadeva oprostitve plačila davkov in dajatev za opremo, kot so ugotovljene pri nekaterih proizvajalcih fotonapetostnih izdelkov, je oprema, za katero so se uporabile oprostitve, predmet amortizacije, zato se ugodnost v obliki oprostitve plačila davka in/ali dajatve ustrezno obračuna v prihodnjih letih (tj. po OPP).
The producers having received such bailouts did not cooperate with the investigation despite being among the largest producers/exporters to the Union.
Glede na navedeno Komisija meni, da bi iztek ukrepov verjetno povzročil nadaljevanje subvencioniranja.
In view of the above, according to the facts available it can only be concluded that this type of State support is very likely to continue also in the future.
Učinek subvencioniranja na izvoz v EU
Preferential financing
Komisija je proučila tudi, ali bi se v primeru izteka ukrepov povečal subvencionirani izvoz iz LRK v Unijo.
The distorted financial market the (predominant) State-ownership of the majority of financial institutions in the PRC and the control and influence of the GOC on the operations and business decisions of financial institutions (sections 3.4.1.1 and 3.4.1.2) are structural and lasting characteristics of the Chinese financial sector.
V zvezi s tem se je oprla na informacije organizacije Bloomberg New Energy Finance in na izpolnjene vprašalnike, ki so jih predložile sodelujoče vzorčene družbe.
