First, as explained in recital (79) of the provisional Regulation, the investigation revealed that the packaging is not a price driver.
Ena zainteresirana stran je trdila tudi, da glede na to, da industrija Unije ni izgubila tržnega deleža, nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen nima posledic, saj bi bilo pomembno le, če bi uvoz iz LRK prevzel del tržnega deleža industrije Unije.
In addition, upon analysis of the quotations provided by the party the Commission found that these reveal a maximum of 0,33 RMB/kg difference in packaging costs (equal to 0,046 EUR/kg) which is negligible for a product with an average price over or around 10 EUR/kg.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 79 začasne uredbe, je preiskava pokazala, da embalaža ni dejavnik, ki vpliva na cene.
Second, the injury calculations are based on comparable Union prices and the prices of the imports during the investigation period as explained in recital (78) of the provisional Regulation.
Poleg tega je Komisija na podlagi proučitve navedb cen, ki jih je predložila zainteresirana stran, ugotovila, da se stroški pakiranja glede na te cene razlikujejo za največ 0,33 RMB/kg (to je enako 0,046 EUR/kg), kar je zanemarljivo za izdelek, ki v povprečju stane približno 10 EUR/kg ali več.
Any differences between the PRC and the Union as regards the price of the raw material need to be demonstrated to affect the price comparability.
Izračun škode temelji na primerljivih cenah Unije in cenah uvoza v obdobju preiskave, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 78 začasne uredbe.
It is not unusual for producers in one country to purchase raw materials at different prices than producers in another country.
Za vse razlike med LRK in Unijo v zvezi s ceno surovin je treba dokazati, da bi lahko vplivale na primerljivost cen.
However, such a difference in costs does not necessary translate into difference in prices or necessarily affects the fair comparison of prices as it is only one of the price elements and not all.
Pogosto proizvajalci v eni državi kupujejo surovine po drugačnih cenah kot proizvajalci v drugi državi.
In any event the interested party failed to substantiate its argument how the alleged difference in the raw material costs would affect the price comparability.
Vendar takšna razlika v stroških ne pomeni nujno razlike v cenah oziroma ne vpliva nujno na pošteno primerjavo cen, saj je samo eden od elementov cene.
As a consequence this claim is rejected.
Kakor koli, zainteresirana stran ni utemeljila, kako naj bi domnevna razlika v stroških surovin vplivala na primerljivost cen.
Thirdly, the investigation established that the production process used by the Union producer and the Chinese exporting producers are similar.
Zato se ta trditev zavrne.
Furthermore, the interested party failed to substantiate what kind of adjustment should be made due to the difference in production process, if any.
Preiskava je pokazala, da proizvajalec Unije uporablja podoben proizvodni postopek kot kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki.
Therefore this claim is rejected.
Poleg tega zainteresirana stran ni utemeljila, kakšna prilagoditev bi bila potrebna zaradi razlike v proizvodnem postopku, če bi ta obstajala.
Following the final disclosure the interested party reiterated its claim that differences affecting price comparability as listed in recital (48) should be considered also in the undercutting calculations.
Ta trditev se zato zavrne.
In addition, that interested party claimed that for one of its customers, a trader, a certain profit margin should be included for the calculation of undercutting.
Zainteresirana stran je po dokončnem razkritju ponovila svojo trditev, da bi bilo treba razlike iz uvodne izjave 48, ki vplivajo na primerljivost cen, upoštevati tudi pri izračunu nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen.
The investigation did not find that there is a price premium on the like product which is a commodity product.
Poleg tega je trdila, da bi bilo treba pri izračunu nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen za eno od njenih strank, tj. trgovca, upoštevati določeno stopnjo dobička.
The investigation found that there is no quality or any other difference between the product concerned and the like product that would be systematically reflected in the prices.
Preiskava ni pokazala, da se za podobni izdelek, ki je osnovni izdelek, plačuje cenovna premija.
As to the claim on adding a profit margin to the post-importation costs of a trader, the Commission recalls that the calculations are based on prices paid by the first independent customers regardless of whether they are traders or not.
Pokazala pa je, da med zadevnim in podobnim izdelkom ni nobene razlike v kakovosti ali kakšne druge razlike, ki bi se sistematično kazala v cenah.
Those claims are therefore rejected.
Kar zadeva trditev, da bi bilo treba stroškom trgovca po uvozu dodati stopnjo dobička, Komisija opozarja, da izračuni temeljijo na cenah, ki jih plačajo prve neodvisne stranke, ne glede na to, ali so trgovci ali ne.
The claim that price undercutting is relevant only in cases where the dumped imports capture the industry's market share has no merit and does not reflect the wording of Article 3(3) of the basic Regulation.
Te trditve se zato zavrnejo.
This claim is rejected.
Trditev, da je nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen pomembno samo v primerih, kadar dampinški uvoz prevzame tržni delež industrije, ni utemeljena in ne upošteva besedila člena 3(3) osnovne uredbe.
Following the final disclosure, an interested party contested the Commission's conclusion and claimed that price undercutting did not materially impact the economic parameters of the Union industry.
Ta trditev se zavrne.
The Commission considers that Articles 3(3) and 3(6) of the basic Regulation allow injury determination to be based on volume and/or price indicators.
Po dokončnem razkritju je ena zainteresirana stran izpodbijala sklep Komisije in trdila, da nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen ni bistveno vplivalo na gospodarske parametre industrije Unije.
The claim concerning materiality of the price undercutting is addressed in section 4.5.
Komisija meni, da člen 3(3) in (6) osnovne uredbe omogoča določitev škode na podlagi kazalnikov obsega in/ali cen.
In the absence of any further other comments on the price undercutting, recitals (78) to (80) of the provisional Regulation are confirmed.
Trditev v zvezi s pomembnostjo nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen je obravnavana v oddelku 4.5.
Economic situation of the Union industry
Drugih pripomb v zvezi z nelojalnim nižanjem prodajnih cen ni bilo, zato se uvodne izjave od 78 do 80 začasne uredbe potrdijo.
In the absence of comments contesting the figures and trends describing the development of the injury indicators the findings in recitals (81) to (100) of the provisional Regulation are maintained.
Gospodarski položaj industrije Unije
Conclusion on injury
Pripomb, ki bi izpodbijale podatke in gibanja v zvezi z razvojem kazalnikov škode, ni bilo, zato se ugotovitve iz uvodnih izjav od 81 do 100 začasne uredbe ohranijo.
The economic performance of the Union industry was assessed by the examination of all the economic factors specified in Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
Sklep o škodi
All economic indicators (with the exception of market share and production capacity) deteriorated during the period considered.
Gospodarska uspešnost industrije Unije je bila ocenjena s proučitvijo vseh gospodarskih dejavnikov iz člena 3(5) osnovne uredbe.
It is important to stress that in order to establish injury not all injury indicators have to show injurious trend as none of them is decisive in accordance with Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation.
V obravnavanem obdobju so se poslabšali vsi gospodarski kazalniki (razen tržnega deleža in proizvodne zmogljivosti).
In particular, the investigation established that due to the high volumes of dumped Chinese imports that were significantly undercutting the Union prices (by 21,1 % during the investigation period) the Union industry had no other choice than to decrease its sales prices despite its worsening cost situation.
Poudariti je treba, da pri določitvi škode ni nujno, da vsi kazalniki škode kažejo negativno gibanje, saj v skladu s členom 3(5) noben kazalnik ni odločilen.
This decrease in the sales prices had a direct negative impact on its profitability, cash-flow, investments and return on investment.
V preiskavi je bilo zlasti ugotovljeno, da industrija Unije zaradi velikega obsega dampinškega uvoza s Kitajske, ki je znatno nelojalno nižal cene industrije Unije (za 21,1 % v obdobju preiskave), ni imela druge izbire, kot da zniža svoje prodajne cene kljub poslabšanju razmer v zvezi s stroški.
The significant deterioration of those injury indicators is therefore a clear sign of material injury that is caused by the Chinese dumped imports.
To znižanje prodajnih cen je neposredno negativno vplivalo na dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe in donosnost naložb industrije Unije.
The interested party provided no new evidence or argument to contest this conclusion.
Bistveno poslabšanje navedenih kazalnikov škode je torej jasen znak znatne škode, ki jo povzroča kitajski dampinški uvoz.
The interested party questioned whether the Union industry was indeed forced to reduce its prices to maintain its market share since despite the 21,1 % undercutting it only reduced its prices by 7 %.
Zainteresirana stran ni predložila nobenih novih dokazov ali argumentov, ki bi izpodbijali ta sklep.
In any case, it is recalled that the Union industry was forced to continuously reduce its prices throughout the period considered despite its worsening economic situation and becoming loss making already in 2013.
V odgovor na to trditev je treba poudariti, da nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen ni zgolj primerjava cen, ampak temelji na metodologiji iz uvodnih izjav od 78 do 80 začasne uredbe, zato se njena stopnja ne kaže nujno v razvoju cen industrije Unije.
In this light, a 7 % price decrease cannot be considered as non-significant.
Na podlagi navedenega se sklep iz uvodne izjave 106 začasne uredbe, da je industrija Unije utrpela znatno škodo v smislu člena 3(5) osnovne uredbe, potrdi.
Based on the above, the conclusion reached in recital (106) of the provisional Regulation that the Union industry suffered material injury within the meaning of Article 3(5) of the basic Regulation is confirmed.
VZROČNA ZVEZA
CAUSATION
Učinek dampinškega uvoza
Effect of the dumped imports
Nekatere zainteresirane strani so trdile, da gibanje nekaterih kazalnikov, kot je proizvodna zmogljivost, ni kazalo na škodo in da je treba druge kazalnike, kot so obseg prodaje, tržni delež in raven prodajnih cen, proučiti ob upoštevanju zmanjšanja potrošnje v obravnavanem obdobju.
Some parties claimed that certain indicators such as production capacity do not follow an injurious trend and others such as sales volume, market share, and sales price level had to be analysed in the context of a decreasing consumption during the period considered.
Proizvodna zmogljivost je v obravnavanem obdobju res ostala nespremenjena.
As far as production capacity is concerned it indeed remained stable throughout the period considered.
Razlog za to je dejstvo, da industrijo Unije sestavlja samo en proizvajalec, ki ima integriran proizvodni obrat, sestavljen iz skrbno usklajenih proizvodnih faz, ki omejujejo možnost za nenadna zmanjšanja zmogljivosti brez večjih in dragih preureditev.
This is due to the fact that the Union industry consists of a single producer which has an integrated production facility composed of carefully aligned production steps which limit the possibility of sudden capacity reductions without major and costly rearrangements.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 84 začasne uredbe, je industrija Unije z daljšimi ustavitvami proizvodnje kljub temu ublažila vpliv upada povpraševanja.
The Union industry nevertheless mitigated the effects of the decline in demand by extended shut-downs of production as explained in recital (84) of the provisional Regulation.
Poleg tega je znižala svoje stalne stroške, da bi ublažila vpliv zmanjšanja povpraševanja na stroške proizvodnje.
Moreover, the Union industry decreased its fixed cost to mitigate the effect of decrease in demand on the cost of production.
Po dokončnem razkritju je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da niso bile zagotovljene nobene podrobnosti o tem, kako je industrija Unije znižala svoje stalne stroške.
Following the final disclosure one interested party claimed that no details were provided as to how the Union industry decreased its fixed costs.
Poleg tega je trdila, da je bilo kakršno koli znižanje stalnih stroškov v najboljšem primeru zanemarljivo.
In addition, that interested party also claimed that any decrease in fixed costs were marginal at best.
Ta zainteresirana stran je trdila, da se industrija Unije ni prilagodila spremembam na trgu Unije in da je zato morebitno škodo, ki jo je utrpela, povzročila sama.
That interested party argued that the Union industry failed to adapt to a changing Union market and that consequently any injury suffered was self-inflicted.
Komisija v odgovor na to opozarja, da so bile podrobnosti o znižanju stalnih stroškov industrije Unije zagotovljene v uvodni izjavi 84 začasne uredbe.
In response, the Commission recalls that details on the decrease of fixed costs carried out by the Union industry were provided in recital (84) of the provisional Regulation.
Poleg tega se je industrija Unije prilagodila zmanjšanju povpraševanja s prilagoditvijo proizvodnega postopka nižji stopnji proizvodnje.
In addition, the Union industry adapted to the decrease in demand by adjusting its production process to a lower out-put rate.
Komisija je skrbno proučila razvoj stalnih stroškov v obravnavanem obdobju.
The Commission analysed carefully the development of fixed costs during the period considered.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da je industriji Unije uspelo znatno znižati splošne stalne stroške, zato so se stalni stroški na tono v istem obdobju povišali samo za 24 %.
The investigation found that the Union industry managed to reduce its overall fixed costs significantly and as a result in the same period the fixed cost per ton increased only by 24 %.
Če industrija Unije ne bi izvedla zgoraj navedenih ukrepov in ukrepov iz uvodne izjave 84 začasne uredbe, bi se stalni stroški povišali za 66 %.
Had the Union industry not taken the actions above and those described in recital (84) of the provisional Regulation fixed costs would have increased by 66 %.
Ob upoštevanju navedenega Komisija vztraja pri sklepu, da je industrija Unije ustrezno ukrepala, da bi se prilagodila zmanjšanju prodaje, in da ji je uspelo znatno znižati stalne stroške.
In the light of this the Commission maintains its conclusion that the Union industry did take appropriate action to adapt to the decrease in sales and managed to reduce its fixed costs significantly.
Glede na navedeno ugotovitve preiskave ne potrjujejo trditve, da je industrija Unije sama povzročila škodo, zato se ta trditev zavrne.
Based on above, the claim that injury is self-inflicted is not confirmed by the findings of the investigation and is therefore rejected.
V preiskavi je bilo ugotovljeno, da so se cene dampinškega uvoza iz LRK v obravnavanem obdobju znižale za 12 %.
The investigation established that the prices of the dumped imports from the PRC decreased by 12 % during the period considered.
Tega gibanja cen ni mogoče pojasniti z gibanjem cen surovin.
This pricing behaviour cannot be explained by the development of raw material prices.
Poudariti je treba tudi, da kitajski dampinški uvoz predstavlja velik delež prodaje na trgu Unije in zato pomembno vpliva na ta trg, ki je glavni trg industrije Unije.
It is also important to stress that dumped Chinese imports represent a major proportion of sales in the Union market and thus have an important impact on that market, which is the core market of the Union industry.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 76, je stopnja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen industrije Unije zaradi kitajskega uvoza v obdobju preiskave znašala 21,1 %.
Moreover, as stated in recital (76) the margin by which the Chinese imports were undercutting the Union industry prices was as high as 21,1 % during the investigation period.
Zato industrija Unije ni imela druge izbire, kot da zniža svoje prodajne cene, da bi ostala dovolj privlačna in da bi omejila izgubo obsega prodaje in tržnega deleža.
Consequently, the Union industry had no choice other than decreasing its sales prices to remain sufficiently attractive and limit the loss in its sales volume and market share.
Komisija je zbrala dokaze glede pogajanj o pogodbah med uporabniki in distributerji aspartama, ki kažejo, da se cena kitajskega uvoza uporablja za izvajanje pritiska na industrijo Unije.
The Commission has collected evidence on contract negotiations involving users and distributors of aspartame showing that the price of the Chinese imports is used to put pressure on the Union industry.
To je neposredno negativno vplivalo zlasti na dobičkonosnost, denarni tok, naložbe in donosnost naložb industrije Unije.
This had a direct negative impact in particular on the Union industry's profitability, cash-flow, investments and return on investment.
Poslabšanje teh kazalnikov škode je torej neposredno povezano s kitajskim dampinškim uvozom, zmanjšanje potrošnje Unije pa ne spremeni te povezave.
The deterioration of these injury indicators is therefore directly linked to the dumped Chinese imports and this link is not altered by the decrease in the Union consumption.
V zvezi z uvodno izjavo 110 začasne uredbe je ena zainteresirana stran trdila, da bi bilo treba vir statističnih podatkov o razvoju cen surovin objaviti, in podvomila o ugotovitvi, da dve glavni surovini pomenita samo 25 % skupnih stroškov proizvodnje zadevnega/podobnega izdelka.
With respect of recital (110) of the provisional Regulation one party claimed that the source of the statistics on the raw material price development should be made public and questioned the finding that the two main raw materials cover only 25 % of the total cost of production of the product concerned/the like product.
Na podlagi podatkov te zainteresirane strani glede stroškov bi ti dve surovini pomenili skoraj 50 % skupnih stroškov proizvodnje proizvajalcev izvoznikov, zato bi morala Komisija ponovno proučiti sklepe v uvodni izjavi 110 začasne uredbe.
Based on the party's cost data these two raw materials would constitute close to 50 % of the total cost of production of the exporting producers and therefore the Commission should reconsider the conclusions reached in recital (110) of the provisional Regulation.
Informacije v zvezi s cenami surovin so bile pridobljene pri družbi CCM, odprt povzetek teh informacij pa se je na podlagi pripomb, prejetih po objavi začasne uredbe, vključil v nezaupno dokumentacijo za posvetovanje zainteresiranih strani.
The information concerning the raw material prices was obtained from CCM and an open summary thereof was put in the non-confidential file for consultation by interested parties following the comments received after the publication of the provisional Regulation.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 110 začasne uredbe, se zadevni/podobni izdelek proizvaja z mešanjem dveh aminokislin (L-asparaginske kisline in L-fenilalanina) v bolj ali manj enakih količinah.
As explained in recital (110) of the provisional Regulation the product concerned/the like product is produced by mixing two amino-acids (L-aspartic and L-phenylalanine) more or less in equal quantities.
Ko so bili znani dodatni statistični podatki za obdobje preiskave, se je za razliko od koledarskega leta 2014 ponovno proučil razvoj cen surovin.
Upon receipt of additional statistics covering the IP as opposed to the calendar year 2014 the price development of the raw materials were revised.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je cena L-asparaginske kisline zvišala za 1 %, cena L-fenilalanina pa znižala za 23,6 %.
During the period considered the price of L-aspartic increased by 1 % and that of L-phenylalanine decreased by 23,6 %.
Vendar ta ponovna proučitev cen surovin ni spremenila sklepa iz začasne faze, da ti aminokislini skupaj pomenita približno 25 % skupnih stroškov proizvodnje industrije Unije.
However, this revision of the raw material price did not alter the conclusion reached at provision stage that these two amino-acids together represent about 25 % of the total cost of production for the Union industry.
Navedeno je tudi v skladu s podatki proizvajalca iz primerljive države.
This is also in line with the data of the analogue country producer.
Komisija v nasprotju s trditvijo zainteresirane strani ni preverila njenih podatkov o stroških, saj zanjo ni izvedla tržnogospodarske obravnave.
Contrary to the claim of the interested party its cost data was not verified by the Commission since it was not subject to market economy treatment.
Zato njenih podatkov o stroških ni mogoče upoštevati.
As a result, its costs data cannot be taken into account.
Ugotovitev, da dve glavni surovini pomenita približno 25 % skupnih stroškov proizvodnje zadevnega/podobnega izdelka, se zato ohrani, kot je navedena v uvodni izjavi 110 začasne uredbe.
Therefore, the finding that the two main raw materials represent roughly 25 % of the total cost of production of the product concerned/the like product is maintained as stated in recital (110) of the provisional Regulation.
Glede na posodobljene statistične podatke je največji učinek stroškov surovin na razvoj stroškov/cen zadevnega in podobnega izdelka 4,6-odstotno znižanje.
Based on the updated statistical data the maximal impact of the cost of raw material on the cost/price developments of the product concerned and like product is a 4,6 % decrease.
Vendar je preiskava pokazala, da so se cene zadevnega izdelka v obdobju preiskave znižale za 12 %, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 77 začasne uredbe.
However, the investigation showed that decrease in the price of the product concerned was 12 % during the investigation period as stated in recital (77) of the provisional Regulation.
V nasprotju s trditvijo zainteresirane strani znižanja cene zadevnega izdelka torej ni mogoče pomenljivo pojasniti z znižanjem cen surovin, zato to znižanje ne spremeni sklepa iz uvodne izjave 110 začasne uredbe; tj. kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki so na trgu Unije precej agresivno določali cene in industriji Unije povzročili znatno škodo.
Therefore, contrary to the interested party's claim the raw material price decrease cannot explain in a meaningful way the price decrease of the product concerned and therefore does not modify the conclusion reached in recital (110) of the provisional Regulation; i.e. the Chinese exporting producers were practicing a rather aggressive pricing behaviour in the Union market and caused material injury to the Union industry.
Po trditvah druge zainteresirane strani dejstvo, da je lahko industrija Unije ohranila svoj tržni delež, jasno kaže, da uvoz iz LRK industriji Unije ne povzroča škode.
Another party claimed that the fact that the Union industry was able to maintain its market share is a clear indication that imports from PRC are not causing any injury to the Union industry.
V zvezi s to trditvijo je treba poudariti, da je razvoj tržnih deležev samo eden od dejavnikov, ki se upoštevajo pri proučitvi vzročne zveze.
With regard to this claim it has to be stated that the evolution of the market shares is only one of the considerations in the casual link analysis.
Poleg tega dejstvo, da velik cenovni pritisk zaradi kitajskega uvoza v obravnavanem obdobju še ni povzročil izgube tržnega deleža industrije Unije in da so zato kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki in industrija Unije ohranili svoje tržne deleže, kaže, da je trg Unije bolj neprilagodljiv, kot bi bilo pričakovati za osnovni izdelek.
