In this respect it is important to note that the Union market is the second biggest market in the world (after the PRC) for melamine.
Učinek kitajskega dampinga na industrijo Unije
In addition, as already mentioned in recital (74), the recent anti-dumping and countervailing duties imposed by the United States of America on melamine of Chinese origin has freed up further significant quantities (in the range of 12000 tonnes) for other destinations.
Glede na precejšnje neizkoriščene zmogljivosti in privlačnost trga Unije, kot je povzeto zgoraj, je verjetno, da bodo že v kratkem na voljo precejšnje količine poceni melamina za prodajo/preusmerjanje v Unijo, če se dovoli iztek ukrepov.
Attractiveness of the Union market and export behaviour of Chinese exporting producers on other third markets
Da bi ocenila verjeten učinek takšnega poceni kitajskega uvoza na industrijo Unije, je Komisija analizirala položaj na drugih, bližnjih trgih.
The size of the Union market — being the second biggest in the world — is clearly an important factor contributing to its attractiveness.
V tem smislu se je Turčija štela kot dober primer, saj gre za velik trg z močnim povpraševanjem [26] v bližini Evropske unije.
Also the fact that imports from the PRC have continued despite the measures shows that Chinese exporting producers find the Union market attractive and are keen to continue selling on the Union market and keep their business relations.
Poleg tega je Turčija največja izvozna namembna država LRK s 32000 ton izvoza v obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom.
A further important factor demonstrating the attractiveness of the Union market is the higher price level as compared to other markets.
Cene kitajskega uvoza v Turčijo se v kitajski zbirki podatkov o izvozu poročajo na podlagi FOB.
As already mentioned in recital (72) above, the PRC export prices on most of its other destinations are significantly below the prices of the Union industry on the Union market.
Te cene so se najprej prilagodile ceni CIF meja Unije s povprečnimi stroški prevoza in zavarovanja ter so bile nato povišane za stroške po uvozu (redna dajatev v višini 6,5 % in stroški carinjenja), da se je dobila približna cena Unije z vsemi stroški, vključno z raztovarjanjem.
Based on the Chinese export database, during the review investigation period over 99 % of Chinese exports to third countries (i.e. 224000 tonnes, a volume equivalent to 57 % of the Union market) were sold on average price 922 EUR/tonne as adjusted [25].
Prilagojena povprečna kitajska uvozna cena za Turčijo je znašala 919 EUR/tono v OPP.
This price is well below the Union industry's average price (1149 EUR/tonne) in the same period.
Če kot primer vzamemo to prilagojeno izvozno ceno za Turčijo, te cene v OPP nelojalno znižujejo cene industrije Unije za 20 %.
The Union market hence constitutes an attractive market for Chinese exports both in terms of size and price levels.
Podobni rezultati so bili dobljeni (tj. 19,6-odstotna stopnja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen), ko se je uporabila povprečna kitajska cena za preostali svet [27].
Impact of Chinese dumping on the Union industry
Glede na to, da je melamin homogeno blago, je za stranke cena najpomembnejši dejavnik pri izbiri dobavitelja.
Given the high spare capacities and the attractiveness of the Union market as summarised above, it is likely that significant volumes of low-priced melamine would be available for sale/redirection to the Union already in the short term in case the measures were allowed to lapse.
Iz tega razloga (in tudi zaradi zanesljivosti oskrbe) večina strank kupuje melamin pri vsaj dveh ali treh dobaviteljih in spreminja točne količine naročila od posameznega dobavitelja glede na ponujeno ceno.
To assess the likely impact of such low-priced Chinese imports on the Union industry the Commission analysed the situation at other, nearby markets.
V teh okoliščinah je verjetno, da bi prihod poceni kitajskega uvoza na trg Unije nemudoma znižal cene, če bi se dovolil iztek ukrepov.
In this sense, Turkey was considered as a good example as it is a big market with a strong demand [26] and is in the vicinity of the European Union.
Industrija Unije bi morala znižati svoje cene, da bi bila konkurenčna kitajskim proizvajalcem, podobno kot se je zgodilo med prvotno preiskavo, ko so bile cene industrije Unije 900 EUR/tono.
In addition, Turkey were the biggest export destination of the PRC with almost 32000 tonnes in the review investigation period.
Na podlagi preverjenih podatkov proizvajalcev Unije za obdobje preiskave v zvezi s pregledom bi znižanje cene na raven turških cen povzročilo drastično zmanjšanje dobičkonosnosti.
The Chinese import prices to Turkey were reported on FOB basis in the Chinese export database.
Industrija Unije bi dejansko začela ustvarjati izgube (– 5,5 %).
These prices were first adjusted to CIF Union border with the average transportation and insurance costs and then further increased by post-importation costs (regular duty of 6,5 % and customs clearance costs) to obtain an estimated Union landed price.
Rezultat je bil praktično enak, kadar se je uporabila raven povprečne cene celotnega kitajskega uvoza v tretje države, tj. – 5 %.
As a result, the adjusted average Chinese import price to Turkey was 919 EUR/tonne in the RIP.
Ta analiza kaže, da industrija Unije ne more vzdrževati trajnostnih ravni dobička, če dampinški kitajski melamin vstopi v Unijo po cenah, ki so podobne cenam, ki se trenutno zaračunavajo na drugih tretjih trgih.
Taking this adjusted export price to Turkey as an example, these prices undercut the Union industry prices by 20 % during the RIP.
Poleg učinka na ceno bi verjetne količine imele tudi negativen učinek na industrijo Unije.
Similar result was obtained (i.e. 19,6 % undercutting) when the Chinese average price to the rest of the world was used [27].
Ob predpostavki razmeroma zmernega zmanjšanja prodaje in proizvodnje za 30000 ton (približno 11 % padec prodaje) [28] zaradi povečanja kitajskega uvoza bi se stroški proizvodnje na enoto industrije Unije povečali za 3,6 %, in sicer s 1037 EUR/tono na 1073 EUR/tono, kar bi še dodatno poslabšalo položaj.
Given that melamine is a homogenous commodity product, the price is the most important factor for customers when choosing between suppliers.
Glede na to, da je bilo 25 % porabe v Uniji krite z uvozom iz drugih držav, kot je LRK, ni mogoče izključiti, da bi dampinški kitajski melamin nadomestil del tega uvoza.
For this reason (and also for supply security considerations) most customers source their melamine from at least two or three alternative suppliers and vary the exact order quantities among them according to the price offered.
Hkrati je povprečna prodajna cena uvoza tretjih držav v Unijo nižja od povprečne prodajne cene industrije Unije, kar pomeni, da bi v primeru, če bi se poceni kitajski melamin ponovno pojavil na trgu Unije, najprej pridobil tržni delež na račun industrije Unije, nato pa bi prevzel tržni delež izvoza proizvajalcev tretjih držav v Unijo.
Under these circumstances, it is likely that the entry of low-priced Chinese imports to the Union market would immediately drive down the prices if the measures were allowed to lapse.
V vsakem primeru, tudi če bi bil učinek količine v resnici nižji kot v simulaciji, opisani v uvodni izjavi 141 zgoraj, izkušnje iz prvotne preiskave kažejo, da bi tudi manjše količine, ki bi vstopile v Unijo po nizkih in dampinških cenah, lahko škodovale industriji Unije [29].
The Union industry would need to decrease its prices to meet the Chinese competition, similar to what happened in the original investigation where prices of the Union industry were as low as 900 EUR/tonne.
Zelo nizke ravni cen kitajskega uvoza skupaj z možnostjo velikih količin bi povzročile izkrivljanje na trgu Unije in škodovale industriji Unije, če bi se dovolil iztek ukrepov.
Based on the verified data of the Union producers for the review investigation period, a price decrease to the level of the Turkish prices would result in a drastic decrease in their profitability.
Po dokončnem razkritju je CCPIT trdil, da podaljšanje ukrepov ni upravičeno.
In fact it would render the Union industry outright lossmaking by (– 5,5 %).
Skliceval se je na iste navedbe v zvezi s kitajsko neizkoriščeno zmogljivostjo in privlačnostjo trga Unije, kot so omenjene v uvodnih izjavah 63 in 76 zgoraj.
Practically the same result was obtained when using the average price level of all Chinese imports to third countries, i.e. – 5 %.
Ker bi te navedbe razveljavile ugotovitve o nadaljevanju dampinga, tudi sklep o verjetni ponovitvi škode ni ustrezen.
This analysis demonstrates that the Union industry cannot maintain sustainable profit levels should dumped Chinese melamine enter the Union at prices similar to those currently charged in other third markets.
Poleg tega je CCPIT podvomil tudi v primernost sklicevanja Komisije na kitajske izvozne cene za Turčijo in preostali svet pri oceni cenovnega učinka kitajskega dampinga na industrijo Unije, saj uredbe in institucije Unije nimajo nikakršne pristojnosti nad praksami v tretjih državah.
In addition to the price effect, also the likely volumes would have a negative effect on the Union industry.
Komisija je na to odgovorila, da upoštevanje kitajskih cen za Turčijo in preostali svet ne krši načela o pristojnosti.
Assuming a rather moderate sales and production volume decrease of 30000 tonnes (around 11 % drop in the sales volume) [28] as a result of an increase in Chinese imports, the unit cost of production of the Union industry would increase by 3,6 % from 1037 EUR/tonne to 1073 EUR/tonne further deteriorating its situation.
Kot je natančno razloženo v uvodnih izjavah 136 do 138, je Komisija zgolj analizirala razpoložljivo izvozno statistiko, da bi preverila raven cen, po katerih so kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki prodajali melamin v Turčijo ter v preostali svet med obdobjem preiskave zaradi pregleda.
Given that 25 % of the Union consumption was covered by imports from other countries than the PRC, it cannot be excluded that the dumped Chinese melamine would replace some of these import volumes.
Cene, ki so jih kitajski proizvajalci zaračunavali Turčiji in preostalemu svetu, so najboljši pokazatelj cen, ki jih bodo proizvajalci izvozniki verjetno zaračunavali na trgu Unije, če se dovoli iztek ukrepov.
At the same time, the average sales price of third countries imports to the Union is below the average sales price of the Union industry meaning that if low priced Chinese melamine would reappear on the Union market, it would first gain market share at the expense of the Union industry, before taking over the market share of the exports from third countries producers to the Union.
Trditve v zvezi z neizkoriščeno kitajsko zmogljivostjo, privlačnostjo trga Unije in verjetnostjo nadaljevanja dampinga so bile podrobno zavrnjene v uvodnih izjavah 64 do 66 in 77 zgoraj ter Komisija vztraja pri svojih sklepih v zvezi s temi točkami.
In any case, even if the volume effect were to be lower in reality than in the simulation described in recital (141) above, experience from the original investigation shows that also smaller quantities entering the Union at low and dumped price levels could cause injury to the Union industry [29].
Posledično ostajajo nespremenjeni tudi sklepi o ponovnem pojavu škode.
It is the very low price levels of the Chinese imports together with the prospect of very large quantities that would distort the Union market causing the injury to the Union industry to recur should the measures be allowed to lapse.
CCPIT nadalje trdi, da ni nobene vzročne povezave med uvozom kitajskega melamina in položajem industrije Unije.
Following definitive disclosure CCPIT argued that the extension of the measures is not justified.
Zainteresirana stran je svojo trditev utemeljila na pomanjkanju močne povezave med količinami in cenami kitajskega uvoza na eni strani ter dobičkonosnostjo industrije Unije na drugi strani.
It referred to the same claims regarding Chinese spare capacity and the attractiveness of the Union market already mentioned in recitals (63) and (76) above.
CCPIT meni, da imajo drugi dejavniki, kot so cene surovin in konkurenčnost industrije Unije glede na uvoz iz tretjih držav, razen LRK, neposreden vzročni učinek na položaj industrije Unije.
Given that those claims would invalidate the findings on continuation of dumping, the conclusion on the likely recurrence of injury is not valid either.
Pri tem se opozarja, da v nasprotju s preiskavami iz člena 5 osnovne uredbe, člen 11(2) osnovne uredbe ne zahteva izvedbe analize vzročne zveze v pregledu zaradi izteka ukrepa.
In addition, CCPIT also questioned the appropriateness of the Commission's references to Chinese export prices to Turkey and the rest of the world to assess the price impact of Chinese dumping on the Union industry given that EU regulations and institutions have no jurisdiction over practices in third countries.
Poleg tega so bile v tem primeru količine uvoza melamina iz LRK zanemarljive med celotnim zadevnim obdobjem, saj so znašale med 0,4 % in 2,5 % trga Unije.
In response to this claim, the Commission stressed that looking at Chinese prices to Turkey and the rest of world does not violate the principle of jurisdiction.
V teh okoliščinah in tudi če bi nihanja cen surovin in uvoza v tretje države vplivala na položaj industrije Unije, se možno pomanjkanje povezave med količinami in cenami kitajskega uvoza melamina in dobičkonosnostjo industrije Unije, kadar so ukrepi v veljavi, ne more uporabiti kot podlaga za sklepe o tem, kaj bi se zgodilo na trgu Unije, če bi se dovolil iztek ukrepov.
As explained in detail in recitals (136) to (138), the Commission merely analysed the available export statistics to ascertain the price level on which the Chinese exporting producers were selling melamine to Turkey and the rest of the world during the review investigation period.
Komisija je na podlagi navedenega in v odsotnosti dodatnih mnenj ugotovila, da bi razveljavitev ukrepov povzročila ponovitev škode za industrijo Unije.
The prices charged by the Chinese producers to Turkey and the rest of the world are the best indication of prices that the exporting producers are likely to charge on the Union market in case measures were allowed to lapse.
G. INTERES UNIJE
The arguments regarding available Chinese spare capacity, attractiveness of the Union market and likelihood on continuation of dumping have been refuted in detail in recitals (64) to (66) and (77) above and the Commission has maintained its conclusion on all these points.
Uvodne opombe
Consequently, the conclusions regarding recurrence of injury remain unaltered as well.
Komisija je v skladu s členom 21 osnovne uredbe proučila, ali bi bila ohranitev obstoječih ukrepov zoper LRK v nasprotju z interesom Unije kot celote.
CCPIT further claimed that there is no causal link between imports of Chinese melamine and the situation of the Union industry.
Določitev interesa Unije je temeljila na proučitvi zelo različnih zadevnih interesov, vključno z interesi industrije Unije, uvoznikov in uporabnikov.
The interested party based its claim on the lack of strong correlation between Chinese import volumes and prices, on the one hand, and the Union industry's profitability, on the other hand.
Interes industrije Unije
According to CCPIT, other factors such as prices of raw materials and the competitiveness of the Union industry vis-à-vis imports from third countries other than the PRC have a direct causal effect on the situation of the Union industry.
Komisija je ugotovila, da si je industrija Unije v zadevnem obdobju postopno opomogla od škode, ki jo je povzročil dampinški uvoz iz LRK.
It is recalled that in contrast to investigations under Article 5 of the basic Regulation, Article 11(2) of the basic Regulation does not require the performance of a causation analysis in expiry reviews.
Vendar bi se škoda v primeru razveljavitve ukrepov proti Kitajski verjetno hitro ponovila, saj bi bila industrija Unije izpostavljena precejšnjemu pritisku na cene zaradi dampinškega uvoza iz LRK, po možnosti v velikih količinah.
Furthermore, in this particular case, the import volumes of melamine from the PRC were negligible during the entire period considered as they were ranging between 0,4 % to 2,5 % of the Union market.
Zato bi se gospodarski položaj industrije Unije verjetno precej poslabšal, kot je opisano v uvodnih izjavah 140 in 141 zgoraj.
Under these circumstances, and even if the fluctuations in raw material prices and third country imports may have an impact on the situation of the Union industry, the possible lack of correlation between the volumes and prices of Chinese melamine imports and the profitability of the Union industry when measures are in place cannot serve as a basis to draw conclusion concerning what is likely to happen on the Union market if measures were allowed to lapse.
Po drugi strani bi ohranitev ukrepov industriji Unije omogočila ohranitev pozitivnih gospodarskih trendov ter hkrati delovanje na pravičnem in konkurenčnem trgu Unije.
On the basis of the above, and in the absence of any further comments, the Commission found that the repeal of the measures would result in recurrence of injury to the Union industry.
Po dokončnem razkritju je CCPIT ugovarjal, da bi bili ukrepi v interesu industrije Unije, saj je ta že popolnoma okrevala.
G. UNION INTEREST
Nadalje je CCPIT nasprotoval potrebi po ukrepih, saj z njegovega vidika ni verjetnosti ponovitve dampinga ali škode, če bi se ukrepi iztekli.
Preliminary remarks
Ti argumenti glede verjetnosti nadaljevanja in/ali ponovitve dampinga in škode so bili natančno obravnavani v zgornjih poglavjih.
In accordance with Article 21 of the basic Regulation, the Commission examined whether maintaining the existing measures against the PRC would be against the interest of the Union as a whole.
Ker ni novih trditev v zvezi s tem, so se podprle ugotovitve, obrazložene v uvodni izjavi 151 zgoraj.
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.
Komisija je na podlagi tega sklenila, da bi bilo nadaljevanje veljavnih protidampinških ukrepov v interesu industrije Unije.
Interest of the Union industry
Interes uvoznikov
The Commission established that during the period considered the Union industry gradually recovered from the injury caused by the dumped imports from the PRC.
V začetni fazi je bil vzpostavljen stik z enajstimi znanimi uvozniki/distributerji in štirimi trgovinskimi združenji.
Should the measures against China be repealed, it is, however, likely that the injury would quickly recur as the Union industry would be exposed to significant price pressure from the dumped imports of potentially big volumes from the PRC.
En uvoznik v Nemčiji je odgovoril na obrazec za vzorčenje in odgovoril na vprašalnik.
As a consequence, the economic situation of the Union industry would deteriorate as described in recitals (140) and (141) above.
Ta trgovec je uvozil omejene količine melamina iz LRK v obdobju preiskave zaradi pregleda, zlasti za nadaljnjo prodajo zunaj Unije.
On the other hand, maintaining the measures would allow the Union industry to maintain its positive economic trends while operating on a fair and competitive Union market.
Poleg tega je trgovec kupil melamin tako od drugih zunanjih dobaviteljev kot od industrije Unije.
Following definitive disclosure, CCPIT contested that the measures would be in the Union industry's interest given that the Union industry has already fully recovered.
V obdobju preiskave v zvezi s pregledom je posel z melaminom predstavljal več kot polovico vsega njegovega prihodka od prodaje in ustvaril stopnjo dobička med 2 in 4 % [30].
Furthermore CCPIT disputed the need for the measures given that in their view neither dumping nor injury would likely recur if the measures were to lapse.
Medtem ko tega ni mogoče predpostaviti za (vse) ostale uvoznike, ta edini sodelujoči trgovec ni nasprotoval ukrepom.
These arguments regarding likelihood of continuation and/or recurrence of dumping and injury have been already addressed in detail in the chapters above.
Ta trgovec je bil mnenja, da so ukrepi stabilizirali trg in zagotovili zanesljivo oskrbo in predvidljivost, ki sta dolgoročno v interesu vseh udeležencev na trgu.
In the absence of any new arguments in this regard, the findings explained in recital (151) above were maintained.
Trgovec je menil, da bi v primeru izteka ukrepov enostavno začel sodelovati s kitajskimi dobavitelji, vendar bi to negativno vplivalo na obstoječe poslovne odnose tako zunaj kot znotraj Unije in bi ustvarilo precejšnje motnje in nihanja na trgu melamina.
On this basis, the Commission concluded that the continuation of the anti-dumping measures in force would be in the interest of the Union industry.
Ker ni bilo na voljo drugih informacij, preiskava ni razkrila, ali bi nadaljevanje ukrepov imelo kakršen koli pomemben negativen učinek na uvoznike v Unijo.
Interest of importers
Po dokončnem razkritju je CCPIT podvomil v sklepe Komisije glede interesa uvoznikov, pri čemer je trdil, da ta temelji na mnenju enega uvoznika, ki se ne more šteti za reprezentativno.
Eleven known importers/distributors and four trade associations were contacted at the initiation stage.
Komisija je ponovno poudarila, kot je navedla v uvodni izjavi 157 zgoraj, da ni predpostavljala, da stališča sodelujočega uvoznika predstavljajo stališča vseh uvoznikov.
One importer in Germany replied to the sampling form and provided a questionnaire reply.
Vseeno so se informacije, ki jih je predložil edini sodelujoči uvoznik, preverile in ustrezno upoštevale.
This trader imported some limited quantities of melamine from the PRC during the review investigation period, mainly for re-sale outside the Union.
Na drugi strani CCPIT ni predložil nobenega dokaza niti utemeljenih informacij, ki bi nakazovali, da bi ohranitev ukrepov močno negativno vplivala na uvoznike.
In addition, the trader bought melamine from other external suppliers as well as from the Union industry.
Zato je Komisija na podlagi razpoložljivih informacij in v odsotnosti kakršnih koli informacij ali dokazov o nasprotnem sklenila, da ohranitev ukrepov ne bi imela nobenega izrazitega negativnega vpliva na uvoznike v Unijo.
During the review investigation period, the melamine business constituted over half its total turnover and resulted in a profit margin between 2 to 4 % [30].
Interes uporabnikov
While it cannot be presumed to be the case for (all) other importers, this sole cooperating trader was not against the measures.
Vprašalniki so bili poslani 68 znanim uporabnikom.
This trader was of the view that the measures stabilised the market and provided for supply security and predictability, which are in the interest of all market players in the long term.
Štirje uporabniki, ki predstavljajo 3 % porabe v Uniji in 0,6 % uvoza iz LRK, so vrnili izpolnjen vprašalnik.
The trader considered that in case measures would lapse, it could easily switch to Chinese suppliers but this would negatively impact its existing business relations both outside and within the Union and create severe disruptions and fluctuations on the melamine market.
Stališča v celoti sodelujočih uporabnikov so razmeroma mešana.
In the absence of any other information, the investigation did not reveal that the continuation of the measures would have any significant negative impact for importers in the Union.
Dva uporabnika nasprotujeta nadaljevanju ukrepov s trditvijo, da ju protidampinške dajatve ovirajo pri kupovanju melamina iz LRK.
Following definitive disclosure CCPIT questioned the Commission's conclusion concerning the interest of importers arguing that it was based on the opinion of one importer, which cannot be considered representative.
En uporabnik je zavzel nevtralno stališče, ker ima melamin zelo majhen vpliv v njegovi strukturi stroškov.
The Commission reiterated, as it is stated in recital (157) above, that it did not presume that the views of the cooperating importer represented the views of all importers.
Četrti uporabnik je podprl ukrepe.
