natgillin/translations-raw huggingface dataset:
Its examination should constitute an ‘objective examination’ of these factors.
EBB bi moral pojasniti, kako so bili revidirani podatki podprti z javnimi viri, Komisija pa ne bi smela preprosto sprejeti informacij, ki jih je predložil EBB.
The Commission addressed this issue under sections 6.1 to 6.4 below.
Poleg tega sta Gunvor in združenje CARBIO trdila, da so bili odgovori EBB na vprašalnik v veliki meri redigirani, zato zainteresirane strani nikakor niso mogle razumeti, kako so bili podatki zbrani, ocenjeni in preverjeni na podlagi drugih virov, ter niso mogle presoditi, ali bi bilo treba ustrezne informacije, ki jih je predložil EBB, šteti za verodostojne.
Questionnaire reply and verification
Obe strani sta predložili podatke, ki jih je zbral Eurostat o proizvodnji, zmogljivosti in potrošnji biodizla v EU, ter poudarili podobnost med temi podatki in podatki, ki so bili objavljeni v začasni uredbi ter ki jih je zbral in Komisiji predložil EBB.
The Commission sent out a questionnaire to EBB requesting explanations as to (i) which methodology was applied to calculate both production capacity and capacity utilisation of the Union industry during the period considered, and (ii) why in the course of the original investigation this data was revised and on what basis the new figures were produced.
Trdili sta, da bi morala Komisija namesto podatkov, ki jih je predložil EBB in ki so bili prilagojeni zaradi neizkoriščene zmogljivosti, uporabiti Eurostatove podatke.
The Commission also asked EBB to explain what their understanding of ‘idle capacity’ was; why in their view it had to be excluded from the total production capacity of the Union industry for the period considered and how the idle capacity was calculated for the non-EBB members.
Trdili sta še, da je opredelitev, ki jo je EBB navedel v zvezi z neizkoriščeno zmogljivostjo, preveč ohlapna ter da je bilo zmanjšanje proizvodne zmogljivosti z izvzetjem „neizkoriščene zmogljivosti“ predlagano šele precej po objavi začasne uredbe, ko je postalo jasno, da bi bilo na podlagi podatkov, navedenih v začasni uredbi, težje ustrezno vzpostaviti vzročno zvezo med domnevnim dampinškim uvozom in škodo, ki jo je domnevno utrpela industrija EU.
The Commission received the questionnaire reply, analysed it and subsequently carried out a verification visit at the premises of EBB on 26 April 2017.
Komisija je te trditve zavrnila, kot je pojasnjeno v točkah 6.2 do 6.4 v nadaljevanju.
At the request of the Commission, the latter had prepared for the verification visit all supporting documents and worksheets used in preparing their questionnaire reply, in particular those linking the information supplied with management and accounting records for the on the spot verification by the Commission.
Natančno je ocenila izpolnjeni vprašalnik, preverila podatke med preveritvenim obiskom v prostorih EBB in ugotovila, da so bili predloženi in revidirani podatki točni in zanesljivi ter da revidiranih podatkov, uporabljenih za dokončno uredbo, ni treba spremeniti (glej tudi uvodne izjave 53 do 58).
The Commission verified the supporting documents, cross-checked the reported data for the period considered at their source and was able to reconcile the information in the management and accounting records with the revised data submitted in the original investigation on production capacity and capacity utilization covering the period from 1 January 2009 to the end of the investigation period.
Poleg tega Komisija ugotavlja, da so podatki, ki jih je zbral EBB, v skladu z Eurostatovimi podatki, zato slednji pomenijo neodvisno potrditev točnosti in zanesljivosti podatkov, ki jih je predložil EBB.
The documents contain confidential company specific data and cannot be disclosed.
Ker pa so bili Eurostatovi podatki objavljeni šele leta 2014, jih ni bilo mogoče uporabiti v prvotni preiskavi.
Gunvor and CARBIO made a submission arguing that the Commission's questionnaire addressed to EBB was not sufficient to meet the requirements under Articles 3.1 and 3.4 of the ADA.
Zato so bili revidirani podatki, uporabljeni v dokončni uredbi (uvodna izjava 131) (glej preglednico v nadaljevanju), točni in po preveritvenem obisku tudi potrjeni.
EBB needed to explain how the revised data was supported by public sources and the Commission should not simply accept the information provided by EBB.
Proizvodna zmogljivost (v tonah)
Moreover, Gunvor and CARBIO claimed that EBB's replies to the questionnaire had been significantly redacted and as a result, interested parties could not to understand how the data was collected, how it was assessed and how it was verified with other sources, and were therefore not in a position to evaluate whether the relevant information provided by EBB should be given any credit.
Indeks 2009 = 100
Both parties submitted data collected by Eurostat on the production, capacity and consumption of biodiesel in the EU and noted the similarity between this data and that published in the provisional Regulation, which had been collected and provided to the Commission by EBB.
Obseg proizvodnje (v tonah)
They submitted that the Commission should have used Eurostat data rather than the EBB data adjusted for idle capacity.
Izkoriščenost zmogljivosti
They further claimed that the definition provided by EBB regarding idle capacity was too vague and that the suggestion to reduce production capacity by excluding ‘idle capacity’ only emerged after the publication of the provisional Regulation, once it became clear that the figures quoted in the provisional Regulation would make it more difficult to validly establish a causal link between the allegedly dumped imports and the injury allegedly suffered by the EU industry.
Celotna proizvodnja v EU: pojasnila v zvezi s postopkom zbiranja podatkov EBB za proizvodnjo
The Commission rejected these claims as explained under 6.2 to 6.4 below.
EBB je marca 2013, tj. pred objavo začasnih ukrepov, Komisiji predložil podatke o proizvodnji za industrijo Unije, in sicer tako za članice kot tudi za nečlanice EBB.
It carefully assessed the questionnaire reply, subsequently verified the data during a verification visit at the premises of EBB and found that the submitted and revised data was accurate and reliable and that there was no need to change the revised figures used for the definitive Regulation (see also recitals 53-58).
Podatki o proizvodnji so bili sporočeni po družbah ne glede na to, ali so bile zadevne družbe članice EBB.
In addition, the Commission notes that the data collected by EBB is in line with the Eurostat data, and therefore the later provides independent confirmation of the accuracy and reliability of the EBB data.
S tem pristopom od spodaj navzgor je bilo zagotovljeno, da so podatki o proizvodnji natančno odražali proizvodnjo v EU.
However, as the Eurostat data set was not published until 2014, it could not have been used in the original investigation.
Članice EBB vsako četrtletje predložijo EBB podatke o proizvodnji na obrazcu, ki ga pošlje EBB, nato pa se ti podatki navzkrižno preverijo z viri tržnih informacij.
Therefore, the revised data used in the definitive Regulation (recital 131) (see table below) were correct and confirmed after the verification visit.
EBB se osredotoča zlasti na podatke o proizvodnji, saj se uporabljajo za določitev finančnega prispevka članic EBB k združenju.
Production capacity (tonnes)
Podatki nečlanic EBB o proizvodnji se zbirajo prek neposrednih stikov z družbami.
Index 2009 = 100
Sporočeni podatki se nato navzkrižno preverijo z drugimi viri tržnih informacij, med katerimi so nacionalna združenja, drugi proizvajalci in specializirane publikacije.
Production volume (tonnes)
Zato so podatki, ki jih predloži EBB, najboljše razpoložljive informacije o proizvodnji po vsej EU za članice in nečlanice EBB, temeljijo pa na rednem poročanju EBB o dejanski proizvodnji za vsako družbo EU, ki proizvaja biodizel.
Capacity utilisation
EBB je te podatke uporabil za določitev celotne proizvodnje v Uniji, na kateri je utemeljil svoje trditve.
Total EU Production: Clarifications on EBB data collection process for production
Celotna proizvodna zmogljivost v EU: pojasnila v zvezi s postopkom zbiranja podatkov EBB za proizvodno zmogljivost
In March 2013, before the publication of the provisional measures, EBB provided the Commission with production data for the Union industry, both for EBB and non-EBB members.
EBB je marca 2013, tj. pred objavo začasnih ukrepov, Komisiji predložil podatke o proizvodni zmogljivosti za industrijo Unije, in sicer tako za članice kot tudi za nečlanice EBB.
The production data reported was given per company, whether they were EBB members or not.
Tako kot podatki o proizvodnji so bili podatki o proizvodni zmogljivosti predloženi na ravni družb za članice in nečlanice EBB.
This bottom-up approach ensured that the production data provided an accurate picture of EU production.
Članice EBB predložijo podatke o proizvodni zmogljivosti dvakrat letno na obrazcu, ki ga pošlje EBB, nato pa se ti podatki navzkrižno preverijo z viri tržnih informacij.
EBB members provide production data to EBB on a quarterly basis on a form sent by EBB and then this is cross-checked against market intelligence sources.
Zaradi zagotovitve doslednosti podatkov EBB zahteva, da članice sporočijo zmogljivost na podlagi 330 delovnih dni na leto na obrat, da se upošteva neizogibno vzdrževanje obratov.
A particular emphasis is put by EBB on production data as it is used to determine EBB members' financial contribution to the association.
Podatki nečlanic EBB o proizvodni zmogljivosti se zbirajo prek neposrednih stikov z družbami, nato pa se navzkrižno preverijo tako kot podatki o proizvodnji.
Production data from non-EBB members are collected through direct contacts with the companies.
Ker EBB zahteva samo „hiter prikaz“ proizvodne zmogljivosti družbe na določen dan in ker si vse družbe pojma „zmogljivost“ vedno ne razlagajo podobno, bi bilo treba šteti, da so podatki o proizvodni zmogljivosti, ki jih predloži EBB, manj točni kot podatki o proizvodnji.
The data reported is then cross-verified through other market intelligence sources including: national associations, other producers and specialist publications.
Ne glede na to so podatki, ki jih predloži EBB, najboljše razpoložljive informacije o proizvodni zmogljivosti po vsej EU za članice in nečlanice EBB, temeljijo pa na rednem poročanju EBB o dejanski proizvodni zmogljivosti za vsako družbo EU, ki proizvaja biodizel.
The data provided by EBB are thus the best available information on EU wide production for EBB and non-EBB members, based on consistent reporting by EBB of actual production for each of the EU companies producing biodiesel.
Pojasnila EBB glede opredelitve „neizkoriščenih zmogljivosti“
This data was used by EBB to determine the total Union production on which it based its submissions.
Kot je opisano v dokončni uredbi, je po objavi začasne uredbe postalo očitno, da podatki, objavljeni za proizvodno zmogljivost, niso točno prikazovali realnega stanja industrije Unije.
Total EU Production capacity: Clarifications on EBB data collection process for production capacity
Zato je Komisija od EBB zahtevala, naj pojasni svoje podatke o proizvodni zmogljivosti.
In March 2013, before the publication of the provisional measures, EBB provided the Commission with production capacity data for the Union industry, both for EBB and non-EBB members.
EBB je Komisiji predložil posodobljene podatke za članice in nečlanice, ki so opredelile nerazpoložljive tako imenovane „začasno ustavljene“ proizvodne zmogljivosti ali „neizkoriščene zmogljivosti“, ki so bile prvotno sporočene kot del celotne proizvodne zmogljivosti EU.
In the same way as the production data, this was given on a company level basis for both EBB and non-EBB members.
EBB določi neizkoriščene zmogljivosti pri izračunu proizvodnje in proizvodne zmogljivosti na podlagi podatkov, ki jih predložijo posamezne družbe.
Production capacity data from EBB members are provided by the members twice per year on a form sent by EBB and then this is cross-checked against market intelligence sources.
Zaradi narave zgoraj opisanega postopka zbiranja podatkov je bil potreben pregled predloženih podatkov v zvezi z nečlanicami EBB, da bi se zagotovilo, da podatki o proizvodni zmogljivosti čim točneje odražajo realno stanje industrije EU.
To ensure that data are consistent, EBB requests its members to report capacity based on 330 working days per year, per plant to account for the unavoidable maintenance of plants.
Podatki, ki jih je predložil EBB v obdobju med začasno in dokončno uredbo, so bili najboljše razpoložljive informacije o proizvodni zmogljivosti po vsej EU za članice in nečlanice EBB, temeljijo pa na rednem poročanju EBB o dejanski proizvodni zmogljivosti za vsako družbo EU, ki proizvaja biodizel.
Production capacity data from non-EBB members are collected through direct contacts with the companies and as with production data this is then cross-verified.
Pripombe po razkritju
Because EBB only requests a ‘snapshot’ of the company's production capacity on a particular day and the concept of capacity is not always understood similarly by all companies, data provided by EBB on production capacity should be considered as being less precise than data on production.
Po razkritju ugotovitev Komisije o škodi je več zainteresiranih strani predložilo pripombe o teh ugotovitvah.
However, the data provided by EBB are the best available information on EU wide production capacity for EBB and non-EBB members, based on a consistent reporting by EBB of actual production capacity for each of the EU companies producing biodiesel.
Združenje argentinskih proizvajalcev biodizla CARBIO je ponovilo svoje stališče iz preiskave v zvezi s pregledom, in sicer da bi bilo treba v sedanji analizi škode in vzročne zveze namesto podatkov, uporabljenih v prvotni preiskavi, uporabiti trenutne Eurostatove podatke o proizvodnji biodizla in proizvodni zmogljivosti zanj.
Clarifications on EBB identification of ‘idle capacities’
Komisija je to trditev zavrnila.
After publication of the provisional Regulation, and as described in the definitive Regulation, it became apparent that the data published for production capacity were not accurately representing the reality of the situation of the Union industry.
Eurostatovi podatki so bili v skladu s prvotnimi podatki, ki jih je predložil EBB.
The Commission thus requested EBB to clarify its data on production capacity.
Vendar jih je EBB pozneje popravil, da bi bolje izražali neizkoriščeno zmogljivost med prvotno preiskavo.
EBB provided the Commission with updated data for both its members and the non-members which identified unavailable so-called ‘mothballed’ production capacity, or ‘idle capacity’, that had initially been reported as part of the total EU production capacity.
Kot je navedeno v oddelku 6.4, je Komisija preverila te posodobitve v sedanji preiskavi v zvezi s pregledom.
Determination of idle capacity is made by EBB in the course of its calculation of production and production capacity from data submitted by the individual companies.
Zato prvotni Eurostatovi podatki ne prikazujejo natančno stanja glede proizvodnje in biodizla, ki ga je Komisija posebej preverila in uporabila v zadevnem primeru.
Due to the nature of the data collection process described above, a review of the data provided regarding non-EBB members was necessary to ensure that production capacity data reflect as accurately as possible the reality of the EU industry.
Združenje CARBIO je navedlo tudi, da bi Komisija morala dodatno opredeliti „neizkoriščeno zmogljivost“.
The data provided by EBB between the provisional and the definitive Regulations were the best available information on EU wide production capacity for EBB and non-EBB members based on a consistent reporting by EBB of actual production capacity for each of the EU companies producing biodiesel.
Komisija je ponovila, da je neizkoriščeno zmogljivost opredelila v uvodnih izjavah 131 in 132 dokončne uredbe.
Comments following disclosure
V poročilih STO ni bilo očitkov glede tega, kako je Komisija opredelila ta pojem, zato ni bilo razloga za spremembo za ta pregled.
Following disclosure of the Commission's findings on injury several interested parties made comments on these findings.
RAZKRITJE
The association of Argentine biodiesel producers, CARBIO, reiterated its view made during the review investigation that current Eurostat data on production and capacity of biodiesel should be used in the current analysis of injury and causation, rather than the data used in the original investigation.
Vse strani so bile obveščene o ugotovitvah Komisije in so lahko v določenem obdobju predložile pripombe.
The Commission rejected this claim.
Po razkritju je proizvajalec izvoznik Molinos de la Plata obvestil Komisijo, da je izvažal v Unijo pod imenom „Molinos Agro S.A.“ in ne pod imenom „Molinos Río de la Plata S.A.“, pri čemer je predložil dokaze v zvezi s tem.
The Eurostat data coincided with the original data from EBB.
Komisija je proučila predložene dokaze in sklenila, da je bila sprememba imena zadostno utemeljena, zato je odobrila to trditev.
However, EBB then corrected these data to better reflect idle capacity during the original investigation.
Po razkritju je sodelujoči indonezijski izvoznik Wilmar zahteval zaslišanje, ki mu je bilo tudi odobreno.
As stated above in Section 6.4 the Commission verified these updates in the current review investigation.
Predložil je trditve za posamezne družbe glede izračuna dampinga in škode ter izrecno zahteval znižanje svoje stopnje dobička.
Accordingly, the original Eurostat data do not reflect the most accurate picture on production and biodiesel which had been specifically verified and used by the Commission in this case.
Komisija je te trditve zavrnila, saj niso bile povezane z izvajanjem poročila STO o Argentini.
CARBIO also stated that the Commission should further define ‘idle capacity’.
Poleg tega jih večina trenutno čaka na obravnavo v okviru spora pred STO, ki ga je sprožila Indonezija.
The Commission reiterated that it had defined idle capacity in recitals 131-132 of the definitive Regulation.
Po revidiranem razkritju je družba Wilmar vztrajala, da njena trditev glede njene stopnje dobička, uporabljene pri konstruiranju normalne vrednosti, ne čaka na obravnavo pred STO, temveč da gre za neodvisno vprašanje in da trditev temelji izključno na določbah osnovne protidampinške uredbe.
As the WTO reports did not take issue with the Commission's concept of ‘idle capacity’, there was no reason to change it for this review.
To trditev bi bilo zato treba obravnavati v tem pregledu.
DISCLOSURE
Družba Wilmar je trdila tudi, da ohranitev ukrepov ni v interesu Unije in bi jih zato bilo treba razveljaviti.
All parties were informed of the Commission's findings and were granted a period within which they could submit comments.
Komisija je opozorila, da se je ta pregled začel na podlagi pooblastitvene uredbe STO za namene izvajanja ugotovitev in priporočil odbora in pritožbenega organa v sporu Evropska unija – protidampinški ukrepi za biodizel iz Argentine (WT/DS473/15).
Following disclosure the exporting producer Molinos de la Plata informed the Commission that it exported to the Union under the name ‘Molinos Agro S.A.’ rather than under the name ‘Molinos Río de la Plata S.A.’ and provided evidence.
Pregled je zato omejen na vprašanja v postopku pred STO ter morebitne posledične in/ali tehnične spremembe, ki izhajajo iz njih.
The Commission scrutinized the evidence submitted and concluded that the name change was sufficiently substantiated and hence accepted the claim.
Zato nobena od trditev družbe Wilmar ni dopustna.
Following disclosure the cooperating Indonesian exporter Wilmar requested and was granted a hearing.
Komisija je poleg tega spomnila, da je družba Wilmar podobno trditev glede stopnje dobička podala že v prvotni preiskavi, kjer je bila zavrnjena (glej uvodne izjave 43 do 46 Izvedbene uredbe (EU) št. 1194/2013).
It made company-specific claims regarding dumping and injury calculations and especially requested its profit margin to be lowered.
Po razkritju je sodelujoči argentinski proizvajalec izvoznik COFCO Argentina S.A. (prej znan kot „Noble Argentina S.A.“) zahteval, da se družba obravnava kot „novinka“ in da se vključi na seznam družb z individualnimi stopnjami dajatve za „vse druge družbe“.
The Commission rejected these claims as they were not related to the implementation of the WTO report on Argentina.
Komisija je družbo obvestila, da bi morala ravnati v skladu s postopkom za nove proizvajalce izvoznike iz člena 3 dokončne uredbe.
Moreover, most of them are currently pending before the WTO in the dispute brought by Indonesia.
Po razkritju je EBB zahteval zaslišanje pred pooblaščencem za zaslišanje, pri čemer je kot razlog navedel, da stališče Komisije ni bilo določeno na podlagi objektivne pravne logike, temveč na podlagi političnega interesa.
Following the revised disclosure, Wilmar insisted that its claim with regard to its profit margin for constructing the normal value is not pending before the WTO but is an issue independent thereof and the claim is based solely on the provisions of the basic anti-dumping regulation.
Na obravnavi z dne 20. julija 2017 pooblaščenec za zaslišanje ni ugotovil, da bi bile pravice do obrambe EBB kot zainteresirane strani kršene.
This claim should therefore be addressed in this review.
Hkrati je pozval Komisijo, naj utemelji svoje stališče, zakaj ni mogla zanemariti argentinskih cen soje kot nezanesljivih.
Wilmar also claimed that the maintenance of the measures is not in the Union interest and should therefore be terminated.
Komisija je to točko vključila v oceno pripomb, ki jih je prejela po razkritju, kot je navedeno v uvodnih izjavah 60 do 63.
The Commission recalled that this review is initiated on the basis of the WTO enabling Regulation for the purpose of implementing the findings and recommendations of the Panel and Appellate Body in the dispute European Union — Anti-Dumping Measures on Biodiesel from Argentina (WT/DS473/15).
DOKONČNI UKREPI
The review is thus limited to issues before the WTO and possible consequential and/or technical changes arising therefrom.
Na podlagi zgoraj navedene ponovne ocene je Komisija sklenila, da je škodljivi damping iz prvotne preiskave potrjen.
Therefore, neither of Wilmar's claims are admissible.
Zato bi bilo treba protidampinške ukrepe za uvoz biodizla s poreklom iz Argentine in Indonezije, uvedene z Izvedbeno uredbo (EU) št. 1194/2013, ohraniti, pri čemer se spremenjene stopnje dampinga za Argentino ponovno izračunajo, kot je določeno zgoraj.
In addition, the Commission recalled that a similar claim regarding the profit margin was made by Wilmar already in the original investigation and rejected therein (see recitals 43 to 46 of the definitive Regulation).
Stopnja dokončne protidampinške dajatve, ki se uporablja za zadevni izdelek, je naslednja:
Following disclosure the cooperating Argentine exporting producer COFCO Argentina S.A. (formerly known as Noble Argentina S.A.) submitted a request that the company be treated as a ‘newcomer’ and be included in the list of companies with individual duty rates as ‘other cooperating companies’.
Stopnja škode
The Commission informed the company that it should follow the procedure for new exporting producers as set out in Article 3 of the definitive Regulation.
Stopnja protidampinške dajatve
Following disclosure EBB requested a hearing with the Hearing Officer on the grounds that the Commission's position had not been determined on the basis of objective legal reasoning, but on the basis of political interest.
Zato bi bilo treba člen 1(2) dokončne uredbe ustrezno spremeniti –
In the hearing of 20 July 2017, the Hearing Officer did not find that the rights of defence of EBB as an interested party had been infringed.
Odbor, ustanovljen s členom 15(1) Uredbe (EU) 2016/1036 [12], ni predložil mnenja –
At the same time, he called upon the Commission to substantiate its views why it could not disregard the Argentinian soybean prices as unreliable.
SPREJELA NASLEDNJO UREDBO:
The Commission included this point in its assessment of comments received upon disclosure as set out in recitals 60 to 63.
Člen 1
