The Commission has therefore found that this Pacto Fiscal had been itself put into practice by the provincial tax schemes already discussed.
V skladu s členom 15(3) osnovne uredbe se je skupni znesek subvencije za sodelujoče družbe, ki niso zajete v vzorcu, izračunal na podlagi skupnega tehtanega povprečnega zneska subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi, določenega za sodelujoče proizvajalce izvoznike v vzorcu, z izjemo zanemarljivih zneskov in zneskov subvencij, določenih za izdelke, za katere veljajo določbe člena 28(1) osnovne uredbe.
The Commission has therefore found no separate benefit under that measure.
Vendar Komisija ni prezrla ugotovitev, povezanih s podporo argentinske vlade za industrijo biodizla, čeprav se je morala za določitev obstoja subvencioniranja delno zanesti na razpoložljiva dejstva.
Yet, like other measures setting up tax benefits for the domestic biodiesel industry, that measure is relevant as part of the GOA's set of measures engineered to support this industry.
Dejansko je menila, da dejstva, ki so na voljo in se uporabljajo v navedenih primerih, niso bistveno vplivala na informacije, potrebne za pošteno določitev zneska subvencioniranja, saj je uporabila podatke o uvozu, ki so jih zagotovili vzorčeni proizvajalci izvozniki.
Real Estate exemption under the Santa Fe Industrial Law: exemption from paying real estate tax under Provincial Law No 8.478/1979 (Article 4) of Industrial Promotion; Provincial tax exemptions provided by the Province of Santa Fe; Article 183.29 Santa Fe Stamp Tax Exemption and Article 127 Santa Fe turnover tax exemption for export sales
Izvozniki, ki niso bili pozvani k sodelovanju v preiskavi, z uporabo tega pristopa ne bodo oškodovani.
The complainant alleged that the Province of Santa Fe provided various tax exemptions to the domestic biodiesel industry through Provincial Law 8.478, Article 183.29, Article 127 and the Santa Fe provincial law 12.692.
Glede na visoko stopnjo sodelovanja argentinskih proizvajalcev izvoznikov je bil znesek, ki velja za „vse druge družbe“, določen na ravni najvišjega zneska, določenega za vzorčene družbe.
The investigation found that Law 8.478, and Article 183.29 and Article 127 had been superseded or otherwise replaced by Provincial law 12.692.
Znesek, ki velja za „vse druge družbe“, se bo uporabljal za družbe, ki v preiskavi niso sodelovale.
Provincial law 12.692 provides for exemptions from provincial taxes for domestic companies involved in the research, development, generation, production and use of products related to renewable energy, and in particular the production of biodiesel.
Po dokončnem razkritju so vsi proizvajalci izvozniki trdili, da bi morala Komisija zneske subvencij izračunati tako, da bi upoštevala izvozni davek na biodizel kot izravnavo ugodnosti, ki izhajajo iz izvoznega davka na sojo.
Biofuel production is specifically mentioned in Provincial law 12.692 under Article 5(d).
To trditev je Komisija zavrnila, saj ni bilo dokazov, da je argentinska vlada uvedla izvozni davek na biodizel, da bi izravnala ugodnosti, ki izhajajo iz zagotavljanja soje za plačilo, nižje od primernega.
The Commission did not find any evidence, and interested parties did not allege either, that the tax benefits provided through that measure specifically to a category of industries, including the biodiesel industry, is part of a broader programme of tax benefits widely available in the province of Santa Fe.
Iste izvozne družbe so prav tako zahtevale prilagoditev, kar zadeva protidampinške dajatve.
Companies producing biodiesel located in the province of Santa Fe benefit from tax exemptions for 15 years from income tax, stamp duty, real estate tax and vehicle duties.
Komisija je menila, da ni pravne podlage za odobritev te prilagoditve, saj ni dokazov, da bi lahko protidampinške dajatve izravnale subvencije, dodeljene proizvajalcem izvoznikom.
That tax exemption concerns domestic companies producing biodiesel, as set out in the Provincial law 12.692.
V vsakem primeru je bila ta trditev zavrnjena, ker proizvajalci izvozniki v OP dejansko niso plačali protidampinških dajatev.
The tax exemption is therefore a subsidy due to the revenue foregone by the GOA, and de jure specific to certain industries, including the domestic biodiesel industry.
Preglednica 5
It is therefore a benefit from a countervailable subsidy.
Znesek subvencij, proti katerim se lahko uvedejo izravnalni ukrepi
The amount of countervailable subsidy was calculated in terms of the benefit conferred on the recipients during the investigation period.
Druge sodelujoče družbe
This benefit was calculated as the difference between the total tax payable according to the normal tax rate and the total tax actually paid during the investigation period by the sampled exporting producers.
Vse druge družbe
Following the disclosure of the information document and the accompanying calculations to the sampled exporting producers as well as following final disclosure, two of the companies claimed that the allocation base should be different (over the total turnover of soybean based products or over the turnover of all industrial activities in the Province of Santa Fe).
ŠKODA
As the companies only received the tax exemption because of their biodiesel production, the Commission considered this exemption specific to the production to biodiesel and, therefore, concluded that this exemption should only be allocated to the turnover of biodiesel and not to the total turnover of the company.
Opredelitev industrije Unije in proizvodnja biodizla v Uniji
Table 4
V obdobju preiskave je 54 proizvajalcev v Uniji, ki so bili člani Evropskega odbora za biodizel, in dodatnih 196 znanih proizvajalcev nečlanov proizvajalo podoben izdelek.
Provincial revenue foregone under Santa Fe Provincial laws
Vsi ti proizvajalci predstavljajo „industrijo Unije“ v smislu člena 9(1) osnovne uredbe.
Conclusion on subsidisation
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 19, je Komisija v vzorec začasno izbrala tri proizvajalce Unije, ki so predstavljali 19 % celotne proizvodnje podobnega izdelka v Uniji.
The Commission calculated the amount of countervailable subsidies in accordance with the provisions of the basic Regulation for the sampled exporting producers by examining each subsidy or subsidy programme, and added these figures together to calculate a total amount of subsidisation for each exporting producer for the investigation period.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 20, je Komisija prejela veliko pripomb o začasnem vzorcu.
To calculate the overall subsidisation, the Commission first calculated the percentage subsidisation, being the subsidy amount as a percentage of the company's total turnover.
Začasni vzorec je vključeval tri predlagane proizvajalce Unije: Bioagra-Oil SA (Poljska), Masol Iberia Biofuel, S.L.U.
This percentage was then used to calculate the subsidy allocated to exports of the product concerned to the Union during the investigation period.
(Španija) in Saipol (Francija).
The subsidy amount per tonne of product concerned exported to the Union during the investigation period was then calculated, and the margins below calculated as a percentage of the Costs, Insurance and Freight (‘CIF’) value of the same exports per tonne.
Zbornica CARBIO je navedla, da so vsi trije predlagani proizvajalci Unije neprimerni za vključitev v vzorec.
In accordance with Article 15(3) of the basic Regulation, the total subsidy amount for the cooperating companies not included in the sample was calculated on the basis of the total weighted average amount of countervailing subsidies established for the cooperating exporting producers in the sample with the exclusion of negligible amounts as well as the amount of subsidies established for items which are subject to the provisions of Article 28(1) of the basic Regulation.
Med drugim je omenila, da družba Saipol skoraj izključno uporablja oljno ogrščico iz Francije, čeprav bi morala za največjo učinkovitost mešati različne vrste surovin.
However, the Commission did not disregard findings related to the GOA's support to biodiesel industry, even if it had to rely partially on facts available to determine the existence of subsidisation.
Navedla je tudi, da družba Masol večinoma uporablja palmovo olje po transfernih cenah svoje matične indonezijske družbe.
Indeed, the Commission considered that the facts available and used in those cases did not substantially affect the information needed to determine the amount of subsidisation in a fair manner, since the Commission used the import data provided by the sampled exporting producers.
Kar zadeva družbo Bioagra-Oil, se je zbornica CARBIO sklicevala na omejeno izbiro surovine, ki jo ima ta družba, zaradi nacionalnega izvajanja direktive o energiji iz obnovljivih virov na Poljskem.
Exporters who were not asked to cooperate in the investigation will not be prejudiced by using this approach.
Poleg tega je predlagala družbi ADM Hamburg AG ali Verbio kot reprezentativni družbi za vzorec proizvajalcev Unije.
Given the high rate of cooperation of Argentinian exporting producers, the amount for ‘all other companies’ was set at the level of the highest amount established for the sampled companies.
V zvezi z družbo Verbio je zbornica CARBIO nadalje navedla, da je ta družba le proizvajalka biodizla (brez vertikalno integrirane dejavnosti drobljenja) in da se nahaja na nemško-poljski meji, pri čemer oskrbuje širši vzhodnoevropski trg, vključno z delom poljskega trga, za katerega prej navedena zakonodaja ne velja.
The ‘all other companies’ amount will be applied to those companies which did not cooperate in the investigation.
Pritožnik je pojasnil, da niti družba Saipol niti družba Masol ne uporabljata izključno določene vrste surovine.
Following final disclosure, all exporting producers claimed that the Commission should calculate the subsidy amounts by taking into account the export tax on biodiesel as an offset to the benefit received from the export tax on soybeans.
S preiskavo je bilo potrjeno, da dejansko obe družbi, tj. Saipol in Masol, pri svoji proizvodnji uporabljata več kot eno surovino.
This was rejected by the Commission as there was no evidence that the GOA imposed an export tax on biodiesel to ‘offset’ the benefit received from the soybeans provided for less than adequate remuneration.
Komisija se je na podlagi prejetih pripomb odločila, da bo družbi Saipol in Masol Iberia Biofuel ohranila v vzorcu.
The same exporting companies also requested an adjustment for anti-dumping duties.
Ker Komisija ni prejela nasprotnih dokazov o trditvi iz uvodne izjave 312, da ima družba Bioagra Oil omejeno izbiro surovin, se je odločila, da jo bo v vzorcu nadomestila z družbo Verbio Vereinigte BioEnergie AG (Nemčija).
The Commission considered that there was no legal basis for granting this adjustment, as there is no evidence that anti-dumping duties can offset subsidies granted upon exporting producers.
Komisija je ugotovila, da je celotna proizvodnja biodizla v Uniji v obdobju preiskave znašala približno 13 milijonov ton.
In any event, this claim was rejected because no anti-dumping duties were actually paid by the exporting producers during the IP.

Definition of the Union industry and Union biodiesel production
Podatki o celotni proizvodnji biodizla v Uniji, predstavljeni v preglednici 6, temeljijo na podatkih, ki jih je predložil Evropski odbor za biodizel.
During the investigation period, 54 producers in the Union that were members of the EBB and a further 196 known non-member producers manufactured the like product.
Evropski odbor za biodizel zbira podatke o proizvodnji, ki jih prejme od svojih članov, ki predstavljajo približno 70 % proizvodnje biodizla v Uniji.
All these producers constitute the ‘Union industry’ within the meaning of Article 9(1) of the basic Regulation.
Kar zadeva proizvajalce nečlane, ki predstavljajo približno 30 % proizvodnje biodizla v Uniji, pridobiva informacije v zvezi s proizvodnjo od ustreznih industrijskih združenj in iz drugih javno dostopnih virov.
As indicated in recital (19), the Commission provisionally selected three Union producers in the sample representing 19 % of the total Union production of the like product.
V zvezi z metodologijo in pravilnostjo podatkov, ki jih zbira Evropski odbor za biodizel, je bil v prostorih Evropskega odbora za biodizel opravljen preveritveni obisk v skladu s členom 26 osnovne uredbe.
As referred to in recital (20), the Commission received a number of comments on the provisional sample.
Komisija ni prejela pripomb zainteresiranih strani v zvezi s temi podatki.
The provisional sample consisted of the three proposed Union producers: Bioagra-Oil SA (Poland), Masol Iberia Biofuel, S.L.U.
Celotna proizvodnja biodizla v Uniji se je v obdobju 2014–2016 postopoma povečala za 5 %.
(Spain) and Saipol (France).
Znatnejše povečanje proizvodnje je bilo mogoče opaziti v obdobju preiskave, ko se je proizvodnja povečala za dodatnih 10 odstotnih točk.
CARBIO indicated that all three proposed Union producers are unsuitable for inclusion in the sample.
Proizvodnja Unije se v obdobju preiskave ni povečala enako hitro kot potrošnja Unije, in sicer zaradi subvencioniranega uvoza iz Argentine, ki je ob koncu obdobja preiskave začel vstopati na trg Unije.
CARBIO mentioned, inter alia, that Saipol almost exclusively uses rapeseed from France, whereas for maximum efficiency the company should blend various types of feedstock.
Potrošnja biodizla v Uniji
CARBIO further indicated that Masol uses predominantly palm oil at transfer prices from its Indonesian parent company.
Komisija je potrošnjo biodizla v Uniji določila na podlagi informacij, ki jih je predložil Evropski odbor za biodizel, ter statističnih podatkov o uvozu in izvozu.
With regard to Bioagra-Oil, CARBIO referred to the limited choice of raw material this company has, due to the specific national implementation of the Renewable Energy Directive in Poland.
Potrošnja Unije se je gibala na naslednji način:
CARBIO also suggested ADM Hamburg AG or Verbio as representative companies for the sample of Union producers.
Preglednica 7
CARBIO further noted with regard to Verbio that this company is a pure biodiesel producer (without a vertically integrated crushing business) and that it is located at the German-Polish border, servicing the broader eastern European market, including the part of the Polish market which is not subject to the earlier mentioned legislation.
Potrošnja biodizla v Uniji (v tonah)
The complainant explained that neither Saipol, nor Masol use any type of feedstock exclusively.
Vir: Evropski odbor za biodizel, statistični podatki EU o uvozu.
The investigation confirmed that indeed both companies, Saipol and Masol, use more than one feedstock in their production.
Celotna potrošnja Unije
On the basis of the comments received, the Commission decided to maintain Saipol and Masol Iberia Biofuel in the sample.
Komisija je potrošnjo Unije določila tako, da je uvoz biodizla v Unijo prištela k prodaji industrije Unije na trgu Unije.
Due to the fact that the Commission did not receive a rebuttal of the allegation contained in recital (312) that Bioagra oil has a limited choice of raw materials, the Commission decided to replace it in the sample of Union producers by Verbio Vereinigte BioEnergie AG (Germany).
Po dokončnem razkritju je zbornica CARBIO opozorila na revizijo metodologije za izračun potrošnje biodizla v Uniji in v zvezi s tem predlagala, da so razlog za to spremembo nezanesljivi podatki o proizvodnji industrije Unije.
The Commission established the total Union production of biodiesel during the investigation period at around 13 million tonnes.
Komisija je spremenila metodologijo za izračun potrošnje, da bi omejila zapletenost tega izračuna in odpravila potrebo po vključitvi ravni izvoza Unije v ta izračun.
Table 6
Raven podatkov o proizvodnji industrije Unije je ostala nespremenjena.
Union biodiesel production (tonnes)
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodni izjavi 358, je Komisija preverila metodologijo zbiranja podatkov s strani Evroskega odbora za biodizel, vključno s podatki o proizvodnji, in ugotovila, da je zanesljiva.

V primerjavi s fosilnim gorivom biodizel proizvaja manj onesnaževal zraka, kot so delci, ogljikov monoksid, žveplov dioksid, ogljikovodiki in toksini v zraku, vendar pa lahko proizvede več dušikovega oksida.
Investigation period
Poleg tega rastline, ki se uporabljajo kot surovine za proizvodnjo biodizla (soja, palmovo olje, oljna ogrščica itd.), izravnajo prihodnje emisije CO2 z absorpcijo CO2 v času rasti.
Total Union production
Stalno povečevanje povpraševanja in proizvodnje v Uniji je posledica energijske politike Unije.
Index
Direktiva 2009/28/ES o energiji iz obnovljivih virov določa, da „vsaka država članica zagotovi, da je delež energije iz obnovljivih virov v vseh vrstah prometa v letu 2020 najmanj enak 10 % končne porabe energije v prometu v tej državi članici“.
The total Union biodiesel production figures presented in Table 6 is based on data received from the EBB.
Ta politika pomeni, da morajo države članice Unije določiti cilj, da bodo biogoriva do leta 2020 predstavljala 10 % celotne prodaje transportnega goriva.
The EBB compiles data concerning production that it receives from its members, which account for around 70 % of the biodiesel production in the Union.
Izvajanje, sedanje ravni in metodologija izračunavanja vsebnosti biogoriv niso enotni v vseh državah članicah Unije, vendar ima zaradi postopnega povečevanja obveznosti mešanja konvencionalno fosilno dizelsko gorivo že zdaj približno 5 % do 7 % vsebnosti biodizla.
With regard to non-member producers accounting for around 30 % of the biodiesel production in the Union, it gathers the information concerning production from the relevant national industry associations and from other publicly available sources.
Dejstvo, da je več biodizla primešanega konvencionalnemu fosilnemu dizelskemu gorivu, je pomemben element pri analizi trendov na trgu biodizla v Uniji.
The Commission did not receive comments from interested parties with regard to that data.
Zato proizvajalci goriva (rafinerije) izključno zaradi Direktive 2009/28/ES o energiji iz obnovljivih virov kupujejo biodizel, da ga lahko mešajo s fosilnim gorivom.
The total Union biodiesel production gradually increased by 5 % between 2014 and 2016.
Potrošnja biodizla je neposredno povezana z obveznostmi v državah članicah glede primešavanja določenih ravni biodizla v fosilna goriva.
A more significant increase in production can be noted during the investigation period, where production increased by another 10 percentage points.
Potrošnja biodizla se bo predvidoma povečala, ko bo več držav članic doseglo cilje iz Direktive 2009/28/ES o energiji iz obnovljivih virov, ki naj bi se izvedla do leta 2020.
The Union production in the investigation period did not increase at the same rate as Union consumption because of subsidised imports from Argentina that started entering the Union market at the end of the investigation period.
Na potrošnjo biodizla vplivajo tudi drugi dejavniki, kot je povečanje uporabe prevoznih sredstev, ki uporabljajo dizelske motorje.
Union biodiesel consumption
Uvoz iz zadevne države
The Commission established the Union consumption of biodiesel based on the information submitted by the EBB and import and export statistics.

Total Union consumption
Količina uvoza (v tonah) in tržni delež
The Commission established the Union consumption by adding imports of biodiesel into the Union to the sales of the Union industry on the Union market.
Vir: statistični podatki o uvozu v EU na podlagi podatkovne zbirke Surveillance 2, Evropski odbor za biodizel.
The Union's biodiesel consumption slightly decreased by 4 % until 2016.
Količina uvoza iz Argentine (v tonah)
It increased in the investigation period by 19 % as compared with 2014.
Tržni delež
The consumption of biodiesel depends on two major factors, the consumption of diesel fuel and the content of biodiesel in this fuel.
Zaradi protidampinških dajatev v zvezi z uvozom, med drugim iz Argentine, uvedenih 26. novembra 2013 z Uredbo (EU) št. 1194/2013, v obdobju od leta 2014 do avgusta 2017 ni bilo uvoza iz Argentine ali je bil ta zanemarljiv.
Following final disclosure, CARBIO noted the revision of methodology of calculating the Union biodiesel consumption, and in this regard suggested that the reason for this change was the unreliable production data of the Union industry.
Zanemarljiv uvoz iz Argentine so leta 2015 sestavljale štiri ločene uvozne transakcije, sporočene v Španiji, zato jih Komisija ne šteje za reprezentativne.
The Commission changed the methodology of calculating the consumption in order to limit the complexity of this calculation, and to eliminate the need to include the level of Union exports in this calculation.
Te protidampinške dajatve, ki se uporabljajo za uvoz biodizla iz Argentine, so se septembra 2017 z Uredbo (EU) 2017/1578 z dne 18. septembra 2017 močno znižale, zato se je tudi uvoz iz Argentine začel hitro in močno povečevati, da je v obdobju preiskave dosegel 2,8-odstotni tržni delež.
The level of production data of the Union industry remained unchanged.
Mesečni uvoz biodizla iz Argentine v Unijo se je v drugi polovici leta 2017 gibal na naslednji način:
As explained in recital (358), the Commission verified the methodology of collecting data by the EBB, including the production data, and found it reliable.
Preglednica 9
Compared to fossil-based fuel, biodiesel produces less air pollutants such as particulates, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, hydrocarbons, and air toxins, but may produce more nitrogen oxide.
Količina uvoza (v tonah) na mesec
In addition, the plants used as feedstock for production of biodiesel (soy, oil palms, rapeseed, etc.) offset future CO2 emissions by absorbing CO2 when growing.
Vir: statistični podatki o uvozu v EU na podlagi podatkovne zbirke Surveillance 2.
The steadily increasing demand and the Union production results from the energy policy of the Union.
Mesečni uvoz biodizla iz Argentine v Unijo se je v obdobju po obdobju preiskave v prvih osmih mesecih leta 2018 gibal na naslednji način:
The Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC establishes that ‘each Member State shall ensure that the share of energy from renewable sources in all forms of transport in 2020 is at least 10 % of the final consumption of energy in transport in that Member State’.
Preglednica 10
That policy means that Member States of the Union need to set as a target that biofuels represent 10 % of all transport fuel sales by 2020.
Količina uvoza (v tisoč tonah) na mesec
The implementation, current levels and methodology of calculating the biofuel content is not uniform throughout all Member States of the Union, but the progressively increasing mandate results in some 5 % to 7 % of biodiesel content being mixed into conventional fossil diesel fuel already now.
Januar
The fact that more biodiesel is being mixed into conventional fossil diesel fuel is an important element in the analysis of biodiesel market trends in the Union.
Februar
The cost of production and prices of biodiesel are generally higher than the cost of production and prices of fossil-based diesel.
Marec
It is therefore only due to the Renewable Energy Directive 2009/28/EC that producers of fuels (refineries) purchase biodiesel to mix it with fossil-based fuel.
April
The consumption of biodiesel is directly linked to mandates in Member States to mix certain levels of biodiesel in fossil fuels.
