The inability to produce its own sodium cyclamate had a negative impact on the economic indicators of the Union industry between August 2011 and May 2012.
Preiskava je jasno pokazala, da je industrija Unije v obdobju preiskave utrpela znatno škodo.
Indeed, for example, the production, capacity utilisation, sales, market share and productivity figures would have been higher in that period, if the accident had not taken place, since the Union industry could have supplied its customers with its own sodium cyclamate instead of imported one which it was purifying and re-selling between August 2011 and May 2012.
Industrija Unije je v celotnem obravnavanem obdobju ustvarjala izgubo.
In fact, between 2013 and the investigation period these were the dumped imports of Fang Da which started exerting an injurious impact on the economic situation of the Union industry.
Med škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, in dampinškim uvozom družb Fang Da je torej očitna vzročna zveza.
It is important to note that this negative impact started taking place several months after the replacement by the Union industry of the destroyed production lines and when the production of its own sodium cyclamate was fully restored and calculated on the basis of 12 months cycles in 2013, 2014 and the investigation period.
Komisija je opredelila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije in jih ločila od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
Taking the above into account, the Commission is of the opinion that the technical incident, which affected the business operations of the Union industry between August 2011 and May 2012, did not break the causal link between the dumped imports of Fang Da and the injurious situation of the Union industry caused by those imports between 2013 and the investigation period.
K škodi so prispevali nekateri drugi dejavniki, kot sta izvoz industrije Unije in tehnična nesreča v tovarni.
Export performance of the Union industry
Vendar so se ti dejavniki tudi s skupnega vidika šteli za nepomembne v primerjavi z učinkom dampinškega uvoza.
The volume of exports of the Union producer developed over the period considered as follows:
V zvezi z uvozom drugih kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je bilo glede na njegov obseg in raven cen ugotovljeno, da je znatno prispeval k škodi.
Table 13
Kljub temu je Komisija na podlagi navedenega sklenila, da je znatna škoda, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, posledica dampinškega uvoza družb Fang Da ter da drugi dejavniki niso prekinili vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom družb Fang Da in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Export volume
Škoda vključuje zlasti izgube pri proizvodnji, obsegu prodaje in tržnem deležu, zlasti od leta 2013, ter finančne izgube in slabo uspešnost vseh drugih finančnih kazalnikov, kot sta denarni tok in donosnost naložb.
Average price
Glede na pripombe, ki sta jih družbi Fang Da predložili po razkritju, je bila analiza vzročnosti, ki jo je izvedla Komisija, pomanjkljiva, nepopolna in je vključevala le domneve, ki niso temeljile na dejstvih.
The export sales represented a significant portion of the total sales volume of the Union industry in the period considered, ranging from around 30 % to around 50 %.
V zvezi s tem sta družbi Fang Da izrecno navedli, da sta bila uvoz kitajskih proizvajalcev, razen družb Fang Da, po nizkih cenah in samopovzročena škoda zaradi eksplozije v tovarni več kot dovolj za prekinitev zveze med uvozom družb Fang Da in škodo, ki jo je ta uvoz povzročil industriji Unije.
The low sales volumes in 2011-2012 must be interpreted in the context of the Union industry's inability to produce and sell its own sodium cyclamate between August 2011 and May 2012.
Vendar ta domneva ni bila utemeljena z nobenimi dokazi, da Komisija ni ustrezno opredelila učinke vseh znanih dejavnikov na položaj industrije Unije in jih ločila od škodljivih učinkov dampinškega uvoza.
In the subsequent period, once the production of own sodium cyclamate restarted, the export sales first increased by 14 indexed points between 2013 and 2014, and subsequently dropped by 32 indexed points in the investigation period.
Komisija je dejansko ustrezno analizirala učinke uvoza proizvajalcev izvoznikov, razen Fang Da, kot je pojasnjeno v točki 5.2.1.
The average export sales prices were increasing over the period considered and they were 8 % higher in the investigation period as compared to 2011.
Poleg tega se je uporaba podatkov iz zbirke podatkov iz člena 14(6) namesto novih podatkov o izvozu iz Kitajske, ki so bili predloženi po razkritju, že obravnavala v uvodnih izjavah 63 in 70.
Even if they remained systematically lower than the Union industry average unit production costs, the export prices were higher than the Union industry average sales prices on the Union market, and therefore generating much lower level of losses as compared to sales on the Union market.
Podatki iz zbirke podatkov iz člena 14(6) ne podpirajo navedbe družb Fang Da, da je povečanje njunega izvoza v Unijo več kot izravnalo zmanjšanje prodaje drugih kitajskih izvoznikov.
Despite the fact that the export sales were generating some losses, the Commission nevertheless concluded that the export activity did not contribute significantly to the injury suffered by the Union industry.
V skladu s tem je treba navedene trditve v zvezi z učinkom uvoza proizvajalcev izvoznikov, razen družb Fang Da, zavrniti.
This is due to the following reasons.
Komisija je ustrezno analizirala tudi učinke eksplozije v tovarni industrije Unije iz točke 5.2.2 zgoraj ter sklenila, da čeprav je v letih 2011 in 2012 vplivala na industrijo Unije, ni prekinila vzročne zveze med dampinškim uvozom družb Fang Da in škodo, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
Firstly, the volumes of export sales decreased much less, both in absolute and relative terms, than the sales on the Union market between 2013 and the investigation period.
Zato je treba to trditev zavrniti.
The latter sales were particularly strongly affected in that period by large volumes of low priced and dumped imports of Fang Da.
Družbi Fang Da sta tudi navedli, da je bil učinek drugih super sladil, kot sta kalijev acesulfam in aspartam, tisti dejavnik, ki je bil pravi razlog za negativni razvoj trga Unije za natrijev ciklamat in je znatno prispeval k škodi, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije, ter da bi morala Komisija ta dejavnik analizirati.
Secondly, due to their higher prices and thus lower loss margins, export sales allowed the Union industry to reduce its overall losses resulting from sales of the like product.
Te trditve niso bile podprte z nobenimi dokazi, razen s sklicevanji na ugotovitve Komisije v postopkih v zvezi z uvozom kalijevega acesulfama in aspartama [16].
Consequently, in the Commission's view, the exports sales of the Union industry did not break the causal link between the dumped imports of Fang Da and the injurious situation of the Union industry caused by those imports.
Opozoriti je treba, da edini proizvajalec natrijevega ciklamata v Uniji ne proizvaja kalijevega acesulfama niti aspartama, tako da proizvajalec Unije ni bil del industrije Unije, kot je bila opredeljena v okviru dveh protidampinških postopkov v zvezi z drugimi sladili.
Consumption
Zato ugotovitve o učinku dampinškega uvoza kalijevega acesulfama in aspartama na položaj proizvajalcev kalijevega acesulfama in aspartama v Uniji niso povezane s položajem industrije Unije v tem postopku.
Injury cannot be the result of a change in the pattern of consumption as demand slightly increased between 2011 and the investigation period.
V vsakem primeru bi se morala neutemeljena trditev, da je kalijev acesulfam bolj zaželen konkurenčni izdelek kot natrijev ciklamat in da znatno prispeva k škodi industrije Unije, običajno izraziti z zmanjšanjem potrošnje natrijevega ciklamata v Uniji.
During the period between 2013 and the investigation period when the injurious impact of dumped imports form Fang Da was particularly pronounced, consumption increased even by 8 %, a development that reinforces the above conclusion.
Kot je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 64 in 65, je bila raven potrošnje natrijevega ciklamata v Uniji v obravnavanem obdobju bolj ali manj enaka kot leta 2011, kar se ne bi zgodilo, če bi natrijev acesulfam v skladu z domnevami nadomestil natrijev ciklamat kot bolj zaželen konkurenčni izdelek.
Conclusion on causation
Zato se ob pomanjkanju kakršnih koli utemeljenih dokazov, ki bi izpodbijali ugotovitve Komisije iz uvodne izjave 148, trditev družb Fang Da zavrne.
The investigation showed that the Union industry was clearly suffering material injury in the investigation period.
INTERES UNIJE
The Union industry has been loss making during the overall period concerned.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali bi lahko kljub ugotovitvi o škodljivem dampingu jasno sklenila, da sprejetje ukrepov v tem primeru ni v interesu Unije.
Furthermore, since 2013, once the Union industry could produce normally after the incident that affected its production lines, the volume injury indicators such as production, sales and market share showed clear signs of deterioration.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na oceni vseh različnih zadevnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov in uporabnikov.
This coincided with a significant increase of Fang Da's dumped imports at low prices, which first managed to displace other Chinese imports, and then take over the market share of the Union industry.
Interes industrije Unije
There is thus a clear causal link between the injury suffered by the Union industry and Fang Da's dumped imports.
Preiskava je pokazala, da je industrija Unije zaradi dampinškega uvoza družb Fang Da utrpela znatno škodo.
The Commission distinguished and separated the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports.
Uvedba ukrepov zoper dampinški uvoz družb Fang Da bo industriji Unije predvidoma omogočila konkuriranje uvozu pod poštenimi tržnimi pogoji.
Some other factors such as export performance of the Union industry and the technical incident in the factory contributed to that injury.
To bi industrijo razbremenilo velikega cenovnega pritiska, ki ga trenutno občuti zaradi znatnega obsega uvoza družb Fang Da na trg Unije.
These effects, even combined, were however considered insignificant as compared to the impact of the dumped imports.
Industrija Unije bi lahko le v teh okoliščinah zvišala svoje cene ter povečala proizvodnjo in obseg prodaje.
Given their volume and price level, imports from other Chinese exporting producers, however, were found to have significantly contributed to that injury.
Brez ukrepov bi se cenovni pritisk zaradi obsežnega dampinškega uvoza družb Fang Da predvidoma nadaljeval, zaradi česar bi se že tako zelo negotov položaj industrije Unije še poslabšal.
Nevertheless, on the basis of the above, the Commission concluded that the material injury to the Union industry was caused by the dumped imports from Fang Da and the other factors did not break the causal link between the dumped imports of Fang Da and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
To bi industrijo Unije nazadnje prisililo, da bi v celoti prenehala s proizvodnjo natrijevega ciklamata, kar bi pomenilo tudi izgubo delovnih mest in alternativnih virov oskrbe v Uniji.
The injury mainly consists of the loss in production, sales volume and market share, in particular since 2013, as well as financial losses and poor performance of all the other financial indicators such as cash flow and return on investments.
Zato je Komisija sklenila, da bi bila uvedba protidampinških dajatev na uvoz družb Fang Da v interesu industrije Unije.
According to the comments received from Fang Da after the disclosure, the Commission's analysis on causality was deficient, incomplete and contained pure assumptions not based on facts.
Interes nepovezanih uvoznikov
In this context, Fang Da specifically claimed that the low priced imports of Chinese producers other than Fang Da and the self-inflicted injury resulting from the factory explosion were more than enough to break the link between the imports of Fang Da and the injury caused by such imports to the Union industry.
Komisija je prejela izpolnjena vprašalnika dveh nepovezanih uvoznikov, ki predstavljata le majhen del vsega uvoza družb Fang Da v obdobju preiskave.
This allegation was, however, not substantiated by any evidence showing that the Commission did not sufficiently distinguish and separate the effects of all known factors on the situation of the Union industry from the injurious effects of the dumped imports.
Eden od teh uvoznikov je tudi uporabnik, ki nekaj uvoženega natrijevega ciklamata uporablja za proizvodnjo svojih mešanic sladil, ki se potem prodajajo živilskim podjetjem in podjetjem pijač.
The Commission has indeed duly analysed the effects of imports from exporting producers other than Fang Da as explained under section 5.2.1.
V zvezi s ponovno prodajo natrijevega ciklamata, ki ga uvozita družbi Fang Da, je Komisija ugotovila, da sta stopnji dobička nepovezanih uvoznikov nizki.
In addition, the use of the data of the Article 14(6) database instead of the new Chinese export data submitted after disclosure has already been addressed under recitals (63) and (70).
Zato je mogoče pričakovati, da bi z uvedbo ukrepov ta dejavnost postala nedobičkonosna, uvozniki pa bi verjetno zamenjali dobavitelje ali bi celo prenehali opravljati povezane dejavnosti.
The data of the Article 14(6) database do not support Fang Da's statement that the increase in Fang Da's exports to the Union has been more than offset by the fall in the sales of other Chinese exporters.
Vendar je Komisija tudi ugotovila, da pri obeh družbah natrijev ciklamat obsega le zelo majhen del njunega skupnega prometa.
Accordingly, the above mentioned claims concerning the impact of imports from exporting producers other than Fang Da have to be rejected.
Zato učinek uvedbe ukrepov na splošno dejavnost teh družb ne bi bil pomemben.
The Commission duly analysed also the effects of the explosion in the Union industry factory under section 5.2.2 above and came to the conclusion that even though it affected the Union industry in 2011 and 2012, it did not break the causal link between the dumped imports by Fang Da and the injury suffered by the Union industry.
V zvezi z dejavnostjo priprave mešanic ene od sodelujočih družb so bile ugotovljene tudi trdne stopnje dobička, ki bi lahko ublažile učinke protidampinških dajatev.
Fang Da also claimed that the impact of other super sweeteners, such as acesulfame potassium and aspartame, was one factor alone that was the real reason for the negative development of the Union market for sodium cyclamate and a very significant contributor to any injury suffered by the Union industry, a factor that should have been analysed by the Commission.
Z izjemo navedenega uvoznika, ki je tudi uporabnik natrijevega ciklamata, Komisija od uporabnikov ni prejela nobenih izpolnjenih vprašalnikov.
These claims were not supported by any other evidence than references to the Commission's findings in the proceedings concerning imports of acesulfame potassium and of aspartame [16].
Glavni končni uporabniki zadevnega/podobnega izdelka v Uniji so v živilski industriji, industriji pijač in farmacevtski industriji.
It should be recalled that the only Union producer of sodium cyclamate produces neither acesulfame potassium, nor aspartame, so the Union producer was not part of the Union industry as defined in the two anti-dumping proceedings concerning other sweeteners.
Pri prejšnji preiskavi v zvezi z uvozom natrijevega ciklamata s strani proizvajalcev, razen družb Fang Da, je bilo ugotovljeno, da natrijev ciklamat predstavlja zelo majhen delež stroškov proizvodnje.
Accordingly, the findings on the impact of dumped imports of acesulfame potassium and aspartame on the situation of the Union producers of acesulfame potassium and aspartame have no bearing on the situation of the Union industry in this proceeding.
Zato se učinek uvedbe protidampinških dajatev ni štel za pomembnega.
In any event, the unsubstantiated claim that acesulfame potassium is a preferable competing product to sodium cyclamate and a very significant contributor to any injury suffered by the Union industry should normally manifest itself in the contraction of the Union consumption of sodium cyclamate.
Nič ne kaže, da bi se končna uporaba znatnega deleža natrijevega ciklamata, ki ga uvozita družbi Fang Da, kakor koli razlikovala od končne uporabe natrijevega ciklamata, ki ga uvozijo drugi proizvajalci izvozniki.
As described in recitals (64) to (65), during the period considered the Union consumption of sodium cyclamate reached more or less the same level as in 2011, which would not be the case if, as alleged, acesulfame potassium had replaced sodium cyclamate as a preferred competing product.
Ker v tej preiskavi niso sodelovali nobeni drugi predstavniki živilske industrije, industrije pijač in farmacevtske industrije, je razumno skleniti, da vpliv ukrepov v zvezi z uvozom družb Fang Da nanje ne bi bil velik.
Accordingly, in the absence of any substantiated evidence contradicting the Commission's findings as outlined in recital (148), Fang Da's claim has to be rejected.
Ob upoštevanju navedene ugotovitve, da bi bila industrija Unije v primeru ukinitve ukrepov morda prisiljena prenehati s proizvodnjo natrijevega ciklamata, ter dejstva, da je na svetovni ravni le nekaj proizvajalcev natrijevega ciklamata, je verjetno, da bi ukrepi uporabnikom celo koristili, če bi ohranili proizvodnjo natrijevega ciklamata v Uniji in možnost, da izbirajo med natrijevim ciklamatom različnih konkurenčnih proizvajalcev.
UNION INTEREST
Družbi Fang Da sta po razkritju navedli, da bi uvedba predlaganih dokončnih protidampinških ukrepov postavila edinega proizvajalca Unije v prevladujoč položaj na trgu, ki bi ga lahko v celoti izkoristil.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether it could clearly conclude that it was not in the Union interest to adopt measures in this case, despite the determination of injurious dumping.
V zvezi s tem je treba poudariti, da v okviru testiranja interesa Unije zadevne zainteresirane strani niso predložile nobenih pripomb o vprašanjih konkurence v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe.
The determination of the Union interest was based on an appreciation of all the various interests involved, including those of the Union industry, importers and users.
Nobenih pripomb v zvezi s tem zlasti niso predložili nobeni uporabniki Unije.
Interest of the Union industry
Poleg tega je kljub obstoječim protidampinškim ukrepom zoper uvoz kitajskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov, razen družb Fang Da, obseg tega uvoza še naprej velik, pri čemer je njegov tržni delež še vedno znatno večji od tržnega deleža industrije Unije.
The investigation established that the Union industry suffered material injury caused by Fang Da's dumped imports.
Zato ni verjetno, da bi industrija Unije lahko zavzela prevladujoč položaj na trgu Unije ali ga izkoristila.
The Union industry was indeed not able to fully benefit from the imposition of anti-dumping duties against Indonesia and the other Chinese exporters, including the increase of anti-dumping duties in 2012.
Navedene trditve družb Fang Da so se torej zavrnile.
The aggressive pricing behaviour and the resulting market share gain by Fang Da as of 2013 caused a considerable decrease of the sales volume and market share of the Union industry despite the presence of anti-dumping measures on imports from the PRC and Indonesia.
Sklep o interesu Unije
The imposition of measures against dumped imports from Fang Da is expected to allow the Union industry to compete with imports under fair market conditions.
Komisija je na podlagi navedenega sklenila, da ni utemeljenih razlogov, zaradi katerih uvedba ukrepov za uvoz zadevnega izdelka s strani družb Fang Da ne bi bila v interesu Unije.
This would relieve the industry from the severe price pressure currently exerted by the substantial import volumes of Fang Da on the Union market.
DOKONČNI PROTIDAMPINŠKI UKREPI
Only under these circumstances the Union industry would be able to increase its price, production and sales volume.
Glede na sklepe Komisije o dampingu, škodi, vzročni zvezi in interesu Unije bi bilo treba uvesti dokončne ukrepe, da se prepreči, da bi dampinški uvoz še naprej povzročal škodo industriji Unije.
In the absence of measures, the price pressure from Fang Da's dumped imports in substantial volumes is expected to continue leading to further deterioration of the already very precarious situation of the Union industry.
Stopnja odprave škode (stopnja škode)
This would ultimately force the Union industry to cease the production of sodium cyclamate altogether, with consequent loss of employment and alternative sources of supply in the Union.
Pri določitvi stopnje ukrepov je Komisija najprej določila višino dajatve, potrebne za odpravo škode, ki jo je utrpela industrija Unije.
The Commission therefore concluded that the imposition of anti-dumping duties on imports from Fang Da would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Škoda bi bila odpravljena, če bi industrija Unije lahko krila svoje stroške proizvodnje in ustvarila dobiček pred obdavčitvijo, ki bi ga taka industrija v tem sektorju od prodaje podobnega izdelka na trgu Unije lahko razumno ustvarila v običajnih konkurenčnih pogojih, tj. brez dampinškega uvoza.
Interest of unrelated importers
V celotnem obravnavanem obdobju niso taki pogoji prevladovali niti eno leto.
The Commission received a questionnaire reply from two unrelated importers representing only a small proportion of total imports from Fang Da during the investigation period.
Ker je imela industrija Unije skoraj desetletje dvomestne izgube, velja enako za obdobje pred obravnavanim obdobjem.
One of these importers is also a user, which uses some quantities of the imported sodium cyclamate to produce its own sweetener blends that are further sold to food and beverage companies.
Proizvajalec Unije je predlagal 10-odstotni ciljni dobiček.
Concerning the re-sales of the sodium cyclamate imported from Fang Da, the Commission established that the profit margins of the two unrelated importers are low.
Zaradi ugotovitev iz uvodne izjave 175 zgoraj in ker proizvajalec Unije ni mogel dokazati, da je ta znesek mogoče doseči pod običajnimi konkurenčnimi pogoji na trgu za natrijev ciklamat, ki je blago, za katerega je trg dozorel, tega zneska ni mogoče sprejeti kot ciljni dobiček.
It is thus expected that the imposition of measures would make this activity unprofitable and the importers are likely to either change suppliers or even cease their related activities.
Zato se je Komisija vrnila k ciljnim dobičkom, ki so se uporabili v drugih preiskavah v zvezi s tako industrijo v sektorju.
The Commission however also found that, for both companies, sodium cyclamate represented only a very small proportion of their total turnover.
Komisija je v nedavni protidampinški preiskavi v zvezi z drugim sladilom, tj. aspartamom, v začasni fazi [17] ugotovila, da 5- do 10-odstotni ciljni dobiček (zaradi zaupnosti je naveden razpon) ustreza ciljem, ki jih industrija Unije lahko doseže pod običajnimi tržnimi pogoji in na podlagi učinkovite konkurence.
The impact of the imposition of measures on the overall activity of these companies would thus not be important.
Zato Komisija ugotavlja, da je ta ciljni dobiček razumno uporabiti tudi v trenutni preiskavi.
The blending activity of one of the cooperating companies also showed robust profit margins that could mitigate the effects of the anti-dumping duties.
Na tej podlagi je Komisija neškodljivo ceno podobnega izdelka za industrijo Unije izračunala tako, da je stroškom proizvodnje proizvajalca Unije v obdobju preiskave prištela ciljno stopnjo dobička.
Interest of users
Nato je na podlagi primerjave med tehtano povprečno uvozno ceno zadevnih proizvajalcev izvoznikov določila stopnjo odprave škode, ustrezno prilagojeno glede na stroške uvoza in carinske dajatve, kot je bila ugotovljena za izračune nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen, in tehtano povprečno neškodljivo ceno podobnega izdelka, ki so ga proizvajalci Unije v obdobju preiskave prodajali na trgu Unije.
