In the same period, the costs of the Union industry remained fairly stable, when the effects of extraordinary costs and reserve capacity were removed.
Dobičkonosnost prodaje v Uniji nepovezanim strankam (v % prihodka od prodaje) po prilagoditvi stroškov
The stable costs combined with the decreasing sales prices resulted in the industry becoming loss-making from 2013 onwards.

Unit cost of goods sold (EUR/tonne) after cost adjustments
Kot je bilo navedeno zgoraj, se je proizvodnja industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala, zato se je zmanjšala tudi zaposlenost.
Furthermore, the Commission revised the findings laid down in recital (80) of the provisional Regulation as follows:
Industrija Unije je izgubila obseg prodaje in tržni delež, medtem ko je uvoz iz Kitajske nelojalno nižal prodajne cene Unije in s tem izvajal pritisk nanje.
During the period considered the Union producers' cash flow, investment, return on investment and their ability to raise capital developed as follows:
Zato so se prodajne cene znižale.
Profitability of sales in the Union to unrelated customers (% of sales turnover)
Najpomembnejše je, da je industrija začela ustvarjati izgubo: dobičkonosnost se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala in je v OP dosegla najslabše rezultate.
Profitability of sales in the Union to unrelated customers (% of sales turnover) after cost adjustments
Po začasnem razkritju je pritožnik zahteval dodatno pojasnilo o določitvi kazalnikov škode v primerih, ko se lahko ista proizvodna linija uporablja tudi za proizvodnjo cevi z manjšim premerom, kot je omenjeno v uvodnih izjavah 68 do 70 začasne uredbe.
Cash flow (EUR)
Komisija je pojasnila, da je bila izkoriščenost zmogljivosti določena na podlagi izkoriščenosti celotne zmogljivosti za vse izdelke na istih proizvodnih linijah.
Investments (EUR)
Pri vseh drugih kazalnikih škode je bil upoštevan le zadevni izdelek.
Return on investment (%)
Pritožnik je izrazil pripombo, da bi se moral učinek dampinga, ocenjen v uvodni izjavi 76 začasne uredbe, šteti za znatnega.
Finally, the Commission revised the findings laid down in recital (88) of the provisional Regulation as follows:
Zahteval je tudi pojasnilo o sklepu iz uvodne izjave 77 začasne uredbe, da dampinga prej ni bilo.
As shown above, during the period considered the production of the Union industry, and consequently the employment, has decreased.
Komisija je pojasnila, da je glede na visoke stopnje dampinga in znaten obseg in tržni delež ter znatno nižje cene uvoza iz Kitajske višina stopnje dampinga takšna, da pomeni dejavnik škode, ki vpliva na industrijo Unije v skladu s členom 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
The Union industry has lost sales volumes and market share, while the imports from China have undercut the Union prices, thereby putting a pressure on the prices.
Nadalje je pojasnila, da se uvodna izjava 77 začasne uredbe nanaša na dejstvo, da Komisija prej ni ugotovila dampinga za zadevni izdelek v obravnavanem obdobju.
As a result, the sales prices have decreased.
Prejšnja preiskava se je začela leta 2013, vendar je bila nato zaključena brez sklepa, da bi se v obdobju preiskave ali pred njim izvajal damping.
Most importantly, the industry has become loss-making: profitability has deteriorated during the period considered, reaching the worst result in the IP.
Po začasnem razkritju je eden od kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov izrazil pomisleke glede ugotovitev iz uvodne izjave 79 začasne uredbe, in sicer zlasti zakaj so se povprečni stroški prodanega blaga v obravnavanem obdobju povišali za 8 % in, če je to povišanje povezano le z enim proizvajalcem Unije, ali je to izražalo škodo celotne industrije Unije.
Following provisional disclosure, the complainant requested further clarification on the determination of the injury indicators in situations where the same production line can also be used to produce smaller diameter pipes, as mentioned in recitals (68) to (70) of the provisional Regulation.
Komisija je navedla, da so po prilagoditvi stroškov, pojasnjeni v uvodnih izjavah 81 in 84, povprečni stroški prodanega blaga v obravnavanem obdobju na splošno ostali nespremenjeni.
The Commission clarified that the capacity utilisation has been established on the basis of the utilisation of the total capacity by all products on the same production lines.
Hkrati so se povprečne cene prodaje Unije znižale za 14 %, kot je prikazano v uvodnih izjavah 78 in 79 začasne uredbe.
For all the other injury indicators, only the product concerned has been taken into account.
Zato je imela industrija Unije od leta 2013 izgubo.
The complainant commented that the impact of the dumping assessed in recital (76) of the provisional Regulation should be considered significant.
Ugotoviti je torej treba, da je industrija Unije kot celota utrpela škodo zaradi znižanja prodajnih cen.
It also requested a clarification on the conclusion that no dumping had been found previously in recital (77) of the provisional Regulation.
Združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je zahtevalo dodatno pojasnilo o stroških dela iz uvodne izjave 87 začasne uredbe in o učinku režijskih stroškov na uspešnost industrije Unije.
The Commission clarified that in view of the high dumping margins and the significant volume and market share and significantly lower prices of the imports from China, the magnitude of the dumping margin is such as to constitute a factor of injury having an impact on the Union industry under Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Znižanje povprečnih stroškov dela na zaposlenega je delno povezano z znižanjem plač, delno pa z zmanjšanjem števila opravljenih ur.
The Commission further clarified that the recital (77) of the provisional Regulation refers to the fact that the Commission has not previously made a finding of dumping for the product concerned during the period considered.
Manj opravljenih ur na zaposlenega je izraženih tudi v povprečni proizvodnji vsakega zaposlenega, ki se je zmanjšala za 13 %, kot je prikazano v uvodni izjavi 75 začasne uredbe.
The Commission noted that following the cost adjustments explained in recitals (81) and (84), the average cost of goods sold has remained broadly stable during the period considered.
F. VZROČNA ZVEZA
At the same time, the average prices of the Union sales have decreased by 14 %, as shown in recitals (78) and (79) of the provisional Regulation.
Učinek dampinškega uvoza
This has led to losses of the Union industry from 2013 onwards.
Po začasnem razkritju je združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov izrazilo pripombo, da so bile v skladu z uvodno izjavo 56 začasne uredbe cene uvoza iz Kitajske v Unijo najvišje leta 2014, medtem ko razvoj kazalnikov škode za industrijo Unije v istem letu ne kaže neposredne povezave s trendi uvoza iz Kitajske.
It must therefore be concluded that the Union industry as a whole has suffered injury as a result of the declining sales prices.
Združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je oporekalo tudi ugotovitvam iz uvodne izjave 94 začasne uredbe.
The association of Chinese exporting producers requested further clarification on the labour costs in recital (87) of the provisional Regulation, and on the impact of the overhead costs on the performance of the Union industry.
Nasprotovalo je obstoju vzročne zveze med uvozom iz Kitajske in izgubo industrije Unije.
The Commission clarified that the total number of employees has decreased by 13 % during the period considered, as shown in recital (75) of the provisional Regulation, and the average labour cost per employee has decreased by 8 %, as shown in recital (87) of the provisional Regulation.
Tretjič, učinek zmanjšanja uvoza iz Kitajske leta 2013 naj ne bi bil pojasnjen.
This decrease in average labour cost per employee is partly due to salary cuts, and partly due to a decrease in the number of hours worked.
Četrtič, analiza škode se ne bi smela osredotočati na eno določeno leto.
The fewer hours worked per employee is also reflected in the average output by each employee, which has decreased by 13 %, as shown in recital (75) of the provisional Regulation.
Petič, cene industrije Unije so se leta 2014 razvijale pozitivno kljub povečanju uvoza iz Kitajske.
In the absence of other comments concerning the economic situation of the Union industry, and after the changes to recitals (79), (80) and (88), the other conclusions set out in recitals (63) to (89) of the provisional Regulation were confirmed.
Škodo za industrijo Unije so zato morali povzročiti drugi dejavniki in ne uvoz iz Kitajske.
F. CAUSATION
Združenje kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je trdilo tudi, da bi morala biti analiza škode izvedena ločeno za vsakega od treh segmentov v okviru obsega izdelka (nafta in plin, proizvodnja električne energije ter strojništvo/gradbeništvo).
Effect of the dumped imports
Sicer naj ne bi bila mogoča pravilna primerjava zaradi razlik med izdelki in cenami.
Following provisional disclosure, the association of Chinese exporting producers commented that according to recital (56) of the provisional Regulation, the peak of the Chinese import prices to the Union was the year 2014, while the development of the injury indicators of the Union industry in that same year does not bear a direct relation to the import trends from China.
Uvoz iz Kitajske je zadeval predvsem segment strojništva/gradbeništva, medtem ko so proizvajalci Unije sorazmerno bolj pokrivali segmenta proizvodnje električne energije ter nafte in plina.
The association of the Chinese exporting producers also contested the findings in recital (94) of the provisional Regulation.
Kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik je izrazil pripombo, da so glede na trgovinsko statistiko povprečne cene za blago iz Kitajske v zadevnem obdobju ostale stabilne.
It disputed the existence of a causal link between the imports from China and the losses of the Union industry.
Zato nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen zaradi uvoza iz Kitajske ni moglo biti vzrok za zmanjšanje obsega prodaje industrije Unije.
Firstly, it argued that the difficulties of the Union industry started well before 2013, as demonstrated by the earlier anti-dumping complaint filed in 2012.
Isti proizvajalec izvoznik je izrazil tudi pomisleke glede cen uvoza iz Kitajske in drugih držav iz uvodne izjave 105 začasne uredbe.
Secondly, the increase of imports from China cannot be described to have been significant.
Poudaril je, da nizke povprečne cene uvoza iz Kitajske ne izražajo višjih cen vzorčenih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov.
Thirdly, the impact of the decrease of imports from China in 2013 has not been explained.
Komisija se je strinjala, da vsi kazalniki škode ne prikazujejo letne korelacije z razvojem uvoza iz Kitajske.
Fourthly, the injury analysis should not focus on one particular year.
Vendar so učinki zapozneli in se prenašajo iz enega leta v drugo, ko se razmerja cen in poslovne povezave prilagodijo čedalje bolj nelojalni konkurenci.
Fifthly, the prices of the Union industry developed positively in 2014, despite the increase of imports from China.
Ker uvoz iz Kitajske poteka prek trgovcev, je preiskava nepovezanih uvoznikov pokazala, da obstaja velika zakasnitev med trenutkom naročanja izdelkov iz Kitajske in njihovo dobavo končnemu uporabniku, ki izhaja iz časa proizvodnje, prevoza, skladiščenja na ravni trgovca in končne dobave.
Overall, it alleged that the losses of the Union industry have fluctuated too much for there to be link with the import volumes from China.
Splošni učinek uvoza po nizkih cenah se tako lahko ugotavlja le v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju.
The injury to the Union industry must therefore have been caused by other factors than the imports from China.
Nobena od strani ni oporekala ugotovitvam iz uvodne izjave 62 začasne uredbe, da je uvoz iz Kitajske vstopil na trg Unije po cenah, ki so znatno nelojalno nižale prodajne cene Unije.
The association of the Chinese exporting producers also claimed that the injury analysis should have been made separately for each of the three segments within the product scope (oil and gas, power generation and mechanicals/construction).
Prav tako ni nihče oporekal temu, da se je uvoz iz Kitajske v obravnavanem obdobju povečal v absolutnem smislu v razmerah, ko se je potrošnja Unije zmanjšala, kar je povzročilo še večje povečanje v relativnem smislu.
Otherwise the differences between the products and prices allegedly did not allow a proper comparison.
V zvezi s segmenti je Komisija poudarila, da so ustrezne razlike med vrstami izdelka izražene v kontrolni številki izdelka (PCN), s čimer je zagotovljeno, da so med seboj primerjani le primerljivi izdelki.
In particular, the imports from China concerned predominantly the mechanicals/construction segment, whereas the Union producers were relatively more involved in the power generation and oil and gas segments.
Razlike v ključnih lastnostih segmentov so izražene s PCN: legirano in visokolegirano jeklo (segment proizvodnje električne energije), nelegirano jeklo (gradbeništvo) in posebne kategorije izdelkov cevi za cevovode ter zaščitnih, proizvodnih in vrtalnih cevi (segment nafte in plina).
A Chinese exporting producer commented that according to the trade statistics the average prices from China remained stable during the period concerned.
Poleg tega bi, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 25, skupne dajatve, ki jih je treba plačati za dano mešanico izdelka, ostale enake, tudi če bi za vsak segment določili ločene stopnje škode.
Therefore price undercutting by the imports from China cannot have been the cause of the declining sales volumes of the Union industry.
V zvezi s trgovinsko statistiko je Komisija ugotovila, da ta ne upošteva mešanice izdelka, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 58 začasne uredbe.
The same exporting producer also questioned the import prices from China and other countries in recital (105) of the provisional Regulation.
Tako lahko povprečne cene predstavljajo različne izdelke v različnih letih.
It pointed out that the low average import prices from China do not reflect the higher prices of the sampled Chinese exporting producers.
Nasprotno pa je bilo nelojalno znižanje prodajnih cen med 15,1 % in 30,2 % iz uvodne izjave 62 začasne uredbe določeno s primerjavo cen istih vrst izdelka in ne skupnih povprečij.
The Commission agreed that all the injury indicators do not show a year-to-year correlation with the development of the imports from China.
Različne mešanice izdelka vzorčenih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov se torej upoštevajo pri določitvi njihovih individualnih stopenj škode.
However, the effects are delayed from one year to the next as the prices and business relationships adjust to the increased unfair competition.
Zato so bili sklepi iz uvodnih izjav 91 do 95 začasne uredbe potrjeni.
As the imports from China take place through traders, the investigation of the unrelated importers has shown that there is a significant time-lag between the moment of ordering the products from China and their delivery to the end-user, resulting from the time of production, transport, stocking at the level of the trader and final delivery.
Učinek drugih dejavnikov
The overall impact of the low-priced imports may thus only be observed over the entire period considered.
V skladu z uvodno izjavo 114 začasne uredbe je Komisija nadalje preiskala vzroke za znatno zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti industrije Unije.
None of the parties have contested the findings in recital (62) of the provisional Regulation that the imports from China entered the Union market at prices significantly undercutting the Union prices.
Izvoz industrije Unije
Nor has it been contested that the imports from China increased in absolute terms during the period considered, in a context of decreasing Union consumption, which led to an even larger increase in relative terms.
Kot je bilo zahtevano v uvodni izjavi 98 začasne uredbe, je pritožnik predložil podatke, ki prikazujejo, da se je svetovna potrošnja brezšivnih cevi v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala za več kot 10 %.
As regards the segments, the Commission pointed out that the relevant differences between product types are reflected in the product control number (PCN), which ensures that only comparable products are compared with each other.
Zmanjšanje je bilo koncentrirano v regijah, v katerih se proizvaja nafta, zaradi mirovanja dejavnosti vrtanja nafte in plina, ki so ga povzročile nizke cene nafte.
The key characteristics of the segments are distinguished by the PCN: alloy and high-alloy steels (power generation segment), non-alloy steels (construction) and the specific product categories of line pipe, casing, tubing and drill pipes (oil and gas segment).
Nasprotno na segmenta proizvodnje električne energije in strojništva težave v segmentu nafte in plina niso neposredno vplivale, sta pa bila izpostavljena posrednemu vplivu.
Moreover, as explained in recital (25), even if separate injury margins would have been established for each segment, the total duties to be paid for a given product mix would have remained identical.
Po navedbah industrije Unije so proizvajalci zaradi odsotnosti povpraševanja v segmentu nafte in plina poskušali izdelke namesto tega prodajati v drugih segmentih, zaradi česar je nastal večji pritisk konkurence tudi v teh.
As regards the trade statistics, the Commission observed that the trade statistics do not account for the product mix, as explained in recital (58) of the provisional Regulation.
Po začasnem razkritju so kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki in njihovo združenje poleg odstotnih deležev iz uvodne izjave 96 začasne uredbe zahtevali podatke o izvozu industrije Unije.
The average prices may therefore represent different products in different years.
Trdili so tudi, da je bil vzrok za škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, slab izvoz, zlasti v segmentu nafte in plina.
By contrast, the undercutting between 15,1 % and 30,2 % in recital (62) of the provisional Regulation has been established by comparing the prices of the same product types, not the overall averages.
Trdili so, da je bil učinek izgube prodaje pomembnejši kot sorazmerno majhno povečanje uvoza iz Kitajske v Unijo.
Therefore the different product mixes of the sampled Chinese exporting producers are taken into account when establishing their individual injury margins.
Poleg tega so trdili, da je bil vzrok za izgubo industrije Unije zmanjšanje produktivnosti, ki je izhajalo iz manjšega obsega proizvodnje.
Therefore the conclusions set out in recitals (91) to (95) of the provisional Regulation were confirmed.
Komisija je predložila zahtevane podatke o obsegu izvoza, kot je prikazano spodaj:
Effect of other factors
Izvoz industrije Unije (v tonah)
In accordance with recital (114) of the provisional Regulation, the Commission further investigated the causes that have led to the significant decrease in the profitability of the Union industry.
Kot je razvidno iz podatkov, se je izvoz industrije Unije v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšal za 31 %.
Export performance of the Union industry
To zmanjšanje izvoza je bilo tako večje od svetovnega zmanjšanja potrošnje.
As requested in recital (98) of the provisional Regulation, the complainant provided data showing that the worldwide consumption of seamless pipes and tubes has decreased by more than 10 % during the period considered.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 96 začasne uredbe, se je v obravnavanem obdobju zmanjšala tudi prodaja Unije, tako da je delež izvoza ostal visok, in sicer je obsegal 56 % vse prodaje v OP.
The decrease has been concentrated in the oil-producing regions, due to a standstill in the oil and gas drilling caused by the low oil prices.
Druge ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav 96 in 97 začasne uredbe so bile potrjene.
By contrast, the power generation and mechanical segments have not been directly affected by the difficulties in the oil and gas segment, but they have nevertheless experienced an indirect effect.
Komisija je sklenila, da je zmanjšanje izvoza negativno vplivalo na finančni položaj industrije Unije in prispevalo k škodi.
According to the Union industry, in the absence of demand from oil and gas segment the producers have sought to sell to the other segments instead, leading to more competitive pressure in the other segments too.
Zaradi zmanjšanja obsega prodaje se je zmanjšala izkoriščenost zmogljivosti in s tem povečalo breme režijskih stroškov za vso prodajo, tudi za prodajo Unije.
Following provisional disclosure, the Chinese exporting producers and their association requested, in addition to the percentages in recital (96) of the provisional Regulation, the export data of the Union industry.
Slab izvoz je bil tako dejavnik, ki je prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije zaradi povečanja stroškov prodaje Unije.
They also argued that the poor export performance, in particular in the oil and gas segment, has been the cause of the injury suffered by the Union industry.
Zaradi prilagoditve stroškov proizvajalcev Unije, pojasnjene v uvodnih izjavah 81 in 84, je bil učinek tega vzroka v veliki meri izključen iz izračuna stopnje škode.
They argued that the impact of the lost sales has been more important than the relatively small increase of imports from China to the Union.
Če ta učinek ne bi bil povsem izključen s prilagoditvami, bi bil vsakršen preostali učinek na raven stopnje škode le majhen.
They alleged that the cause behind the losses of the Union industry is the decrease in productivity resulting from lower production volumes.
Z izvozom ni mogoče pojasniti škode, ki izhaja iz povečanja uvoza iz Kitajske po cenah, ki so nelojalno nižale prodajne cene Unije, in posledičnega pritiska na znižanje cen Unije.
The Commission provided below the requested export volumes:
Če ne bi bilo dampinškega uvoza, bi lahko proizvajalci Unije svoje izdelke prodali na trgu Unije po neškodljivih cenah.
Exports of the Union industry (tonnes)
Izvoz torej ni prekinil vzročne zveze med uvozom iz Kitajske in znatno škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
As can be seen, exports of the Union industry decreased by 31 % during the period considered.
Prodaja povezanim strankam
This decrease of exports was thus larger than the worldwide decrease of consumption.
Ker ni bilo pripomb, so bili sklepi iz uvodnih izjav 99 in 100 začasne uredbe potrjeni.
As mentioned in recital (96) of the provisional Regulation, also the Union sales decreased during the period considered, so that the share of exports remained high, at 56 % of all sales in the IP.
Uvoz iz tretjih držav in upadanje potrošnje zaradi krize v naftnem in plinskem sektorju
The other findings set out in recitals (96) and (97) of the provisional Regulation were confirmed.
Po začasnem razkritju je kitajski proizvajalec izvoznik izrazil pripombo, da se je uvoz iz Kitajske v obravnavanem obdobju povečal za 3344 ton.
The Commission concluded that the decrease of export sales had a negative impact on the financial situation of the Union industry and contributed to the injury.
Hkrati se je potrošnja Unije zmanjšala za 18212 ton, uvoz iz drugih tretjih držav pa se je povečal za 9711 ton, od tega se je uvoz iz Japonske povečal za 3535 ton.
The decrease in sales volumes led to lower capacity utilisation and thus increased the weight of the overheads on all sales, also on the Union sales.
Poudaril je, da so imeli vsi ti dejavniki večji učinek kot pa povečanje uvoza iz Kitajske.
The weak export performance was thus a factor contributing to the injury suffered by the Union industry by increasing the costs of the Union sales.
Komisija se je strinjala, da sta manjša potrošnja in povečanje uvoza iz drugih držav morda prispevala k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije zaradi zmanjšanja obsega prodaje industrije Unije.
Due to the adjustments to the costs of the Union producers explained in recitals (81) and (84), the impact of this cause was largely removed from the calculation of the injury margin.
Vendar na podlagi teh dejavnikov ni mogoče pojasniti povečanja uvoza iz Kitajske po cenah, ki so nelojalno nižale prodajne cene Unije.
