Injury segmented analysis
Zato je bila trditev, da je trg originalne opreme Unije zaščiten pred kitajsko konkurenco in bi ga bilo torej treba analizirati ločeno, zavrnjena.
As explained in recital (162) of the provisional Regulation, the economic situation of the Union industry was analysed on an aggregated basis and, in certain microeconomic indicators at the level of tiers given the Union market segmentation.
Poleg tega, kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 160 začasne uredbe, sodna praksa potrjuje tudi, da se lahko pri preverjanju, ali obstaja škoda za industrijo Unije kot celoto, taka analiza osredotoči na segment, ki ga je dampinški uvoz najbolj prizadel.
Certain interested parties reiterated the same concerns following the final disclosure that the injury analysis by segment should consider all injury indicators and causation indicators.
V obravnavanem primeru je približno 65 % kitajskega uvoza pnevmatik povezanega s tretjim razredom.
They referred to the Appellate Body Report in United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan.
Zato se v ustrezni analizi škode ne sme zanemariti vpliv dampinškega uvoza, zlasti v razmerah na trgu, ko se prodaja pnevmatik tretjega razreda stalno povečuje, vsi razredi, ki sestavljajo trg Unije s pnevmatikami, pa so med seboj povezani.
Moreover, these parties requested that the Commission should also distinguish between new and retreaded tyres, original equipment and replacement tyres as the original equipment market was shielded from Chinese competition, again by reference to the Appellate Body report in United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan.
Zato se je Komisija odločila za ustrezno preverjanje industrije kot celote.
The CRIA and the CCCMC reiterated the same concerns following the final disclosure.
Potrošnja Unije
The jurisprudence mentioned above indicates that the investigating authorities who undertake an examination of one part of a domestic industry ‘should, in principle, examine, in like manner, all of the other parts that make up the industry, as well as examine the industry as a whole’.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 9, je Komisija izvedla preveritvene obiske v prostorih dveh nepovezanih uvoznikov.
However, the Appellate Body Report does not impose on the investigating authorities an obligation to provide all injury indicators by segment.
Ugotovljeno je bilo, da je bil uvoz zadevnega izdelka v obravnavanem obdobju naveden tudi pod oznakama KN 40119000 in 40119900.
Moreover, the facts in that case were different.
Ta uvoz se je nanašal na pnevmatike tretjega razreda.
In the Appellate Body report in United States — Hot Rolled Steel Products from Japan, a significant part of the domestic production in the United States — captive production — was shielded by the structure of the domestic market from direct competition from subject imports.
Vendar ni bilo mogoče ugotoviti, ali v zvezi s prijavljanjem zadevnega izdelka obstaja sistemska težava ali pa je bila težava omejena na tega določenega uvoznika.
In that specific situation, the Appellate Body took issue with ‘comparative examination’ of each part of the domestic market — which ‘juxtaposed’ the merchant market and captive market.
Poleg tega je skupni obseg, ki so ga sodelujoči kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki sporočili v obdobju preiskave, presegal skupni uvoz s poreklom iz Ljudske republike Kitajske glede na Eurostatovo podatkovno zbirko COMEXT.
For the Appellate Body, this ‘enhanced’ the ability of the investigating authorities to make an appropriate determination about the state of the domestic industry as a whole.
Ker ti proizvajalci izvozniki niso sporočili podatkov v zvezi s predhodnimi leti, se je Komisija odločila, da bo uporabila konservativen pristop in ne bo spremenila obsega uvoza iz LRK.
In the present case, though, there is no protection of the tier 1 and 2 segments of the Union market.
Po začasnem razkritju je bilo ugotovljeno, da se pri določanju potrošnje Unije ni upoštevala prodaja dobaviteljev tekalnih plasti, ki niso člani organizacije ETRMA Europool.
The Chinese imports' sales are concentrated mainly in the replacement market; this is a factual situation which is not imposed by the structure of the Union market.
Zato je Komisija spremenila potrošnjo Unije v obravnavanem obdobju.
Moreover, the product concerned was also sold to original equipment manufacturers.
V obravnavanem obdobju se je potrošnja Unije razvijala, kot je navedeno v nadaljevanju.
Therefore, the claim that Union original equipment market was shielded from the Chinese competition and should thus be analysed separately was rejected.
Preglednica 2
Moreover, as noted in recital (160) of the provisional Regulation, case-law also confirms that, when examining whether there is injury for the Union industry as a whole, such analysis may focus on the segment most affected by dumped imports.
Potrošnja Unije (v kosih)
In the present case, around 65 % of Chinese imports of tyres relate to tier 3.
Vir: združenje ETRMA in dobavitelji tekalnih plasti, ki niso člani organizacije ETRMA Europool.
Therefore, a proper injury analysis cannot disregard the impact of the dumped imports especially in a market situation where tier 3 tyre sales are continuously growing, and where all tiers that make up the Union tyre market are interrelated.
Obdobje preiskave
For these reasons, the Commission resolved to have conducted a proper examination of the industry as a whole.
Celotna potrošnja Unije
Union consumption
Indeks (2014 = 100)
As mentioned in the recital (9), the Commission carried out verification visits at the premises of two unrelated importers.
V skladu s tem se je potrošnja Unije v obravnavanem obdobju povečala.
It was found that the imports of the product concerned were also declared during the period considered under the CN codes 40119000 and 40119900.
Na splošno se je potrošnja v obravnavanem obdobju povečala za 6,1 %, tj. s približno 20,5 milijona pnevmatik na približno 21,7 milijona pnevmatik v obdobju preiskave.
These imports concerned tier 3 tyres.
Medsebojna povezava med novimi in protektiranimi pnevmatikami
However, it was not possible to establish whether there was a systemic problem with the declaration of the product concerned, or whether the issue was limited to this particular importer.
Več zainteresiranih strani je izpodbijalo začasne ugotovitve o medsebojni povezavi med novimi in protektiranimi pnevmatikami ter med razredi, iste pomisleke pa so ponovile po končnem razkritju.
In addition, the total volume reported by the cooperating Chinese exporting producers in the investigation period exceeded the total of imports originating from the People's Republic of China provided by Eurostat Comext.
Komisija je vse informacije v zvezi s tem zbrala v obvestilu v zvezi z dokumentacijo o medsebojni povezavi.
However, as there is no data reported by these exporting producers concerning the preceding years the Commission decided to follow a conservative approach and not to revise the import volumes from the PRC.
Kar zadeva uvodno izjavo 140 začasne uredbe, sta združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC trdila, da pnevmatikam prvega in drugega razreda ni bilo mogoče pripisati vrednosti, ki bi izvirala iz obstoja industrije protektiranja.
Following the provisional disclosure, it was found that the sales of tread suppliers not members of ETRMA Europool had been omitted when establishing the Union consumption.
Informacije o pomembnosti dejavnosti protektiranja so dobro razširjene in javno dostopne.
Therefore, the Commission revised the Union consumption for the period considered.
Kot je navedeno v uvodni izjavi 58 začasne uredbe, proizvajalci novih pnevmatik proizvajajo tudi protektirane pnevmatike.
During the period considered the Union consumption developed as follows:
Nekateri kitajski proizvajalci izvozniki imajo lastne blagovne znamke za protektirane pnevmatike, kot sta Hankook Alphatread ali Giti Genesis.
Table 2
Kot je pojasnjeno v obvestilu v zvezi z dokumentacijo o medsebojni povezavi, je Komisija ugotovila, da se glavni proizvajalci pnevmatik, vključno s kitajskimi proizvajalci izvozniki, ukvarjajo z dejavnostjo protektiranja.
Union consumption (in items)
Pnevmatike Giti Genesis, prej znane pod blagovno znamko GT REE Tread, protektira družba Vacu-Lug iz Združenega kraljestva.
Source: ETRMA and tread suppliers not members of ETRMA Europool.
Poleg tega je družba Pirelli Italy leta 2009 v zvezi s pogodbo, ki jo je podpisala z družbo Marangoni (ponudnikom protektiranja iz Unije), izjavila, da naj bi ta projekt, ki je del strategije za krepitev in povečanje ponudbe storitev družbe Pirelli za tovornjake, dodal vrednost zlasti novim izdelkom serije 88 in serije 1, ki so bili na evropski trg dani leta 2009 in za katere je med drugim značilno, da so zelo primerni za protektiranje.
Investigation period
Tudi drugi proizvajalci svoje pnevmatike oglašujejo kot pnevmatike, ki jih je mogoče protektirati, na primer uvoznik znamke Athos, ki trdi, da je pnevmatikam Athos mogoče ponovno vrezati kanale ter da so primerne za hladno in vroče protektiranje, kar velja tudi za znamko Aeolus (za oboje pnevmatike je bilo sporočeno, da so tretjega razreda).
Total Union consumption
Iz tega je razvidno, da je možnost protektiranja pomemben dejavnik vrednosti v Evropski uniji in v zadevni državi.
Accordingly, the Union consumption increased over the period considered.
Kot je prav tako razvidno iz obvestila v zvezi z dokumentacijo o medsebojni povezavi, proizvodna industrija v Uniji in zadevni državi možnosti projektiranja ne dojemata le kot trženjsko sredstvo, ampak kot dejanski vir vrednosti za višja razreda.
Overall over the period considered the consumption increased by 6,1 % from around 20,5 million tyres to around 21,7 million tyres in the investigation period.
Vrednost in prodajna cena pnevmatik višjih razredov sta zato neločljivo povezani z zdravo industrijo protektiranja „nižje v prodajni verigi“.
Interconnection between new and retreaded tyres
Zato je Komisija v uvodni izjavi 140 začasne uredbe navedla, da „velik del vrednosti, pripisane pnevmatikam prvega in drugega razreda, dejansko izvira iz obstoja industrije protektiranja iz tretjega razreda“.
A number of interested parties challenged the provisional findings on the interconnection between new and retreaded tyres and among tiers and reiterated the same concerns following the final disclosure.
Komisija je na tej podlagi potrdila svoje začetne ugotovitve o medsebojni povezavi med novimi in protektiranimi pnevmatikami ter med razredi.
The Commission compiled all information on this matter in a note for the file on interconnection.
Kar zadeva uvodno izjavo 141 začasne uredbe, sta združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC menila, da Komisija ni razkrila vira visoke medsebojne zamenljivosti protektiranih pnevmatik, zaradi katere je cena odločilni dejavnik, kadar se stranka odloča, ali bi kupila protektirane pnevmatike ali nove pnevmatike tretjega razreda.
Regarding recital (140) of the provisional Regulation, the CRIA and the CCCMC claimed that there was no value attribution to tiers 1 and 2 tyres from the existence of the retreading industry.
Komisija se je z navedeno trditvijo strinjala.
Information regarding the importance of the retreading business is well spread out and publicly available.
Skladno s tem je v obvestilu v zvezi z dokumentacijo o medsebojni povezavi navedla primere pnevmatik različnih razredov s skupnimi prodajnimi kanali.
As mentioned in recital (58) of the provisional Regulation, the producers of new tyres are also producing retreaded tyres.
Uvoz iz zadevne države
Some Chinese exporting producers have their own brands for retreaded tyres such as Hankook Alphatread or Giti Genesis.
Obseg in tržni delež uvoza iz zadevne države
As explained in the note for the file on interconnection, the Commission found that the main tyre producers including Chinese exporting producers were engaged in the retreading business.
Skupina Aeolus Group in družba Pirelli sta trdili, da bi morala Komisija pri analizi upoštevati povečanje potrošnje Unije in zagotoviti ločeno analizo za zadevne tri razrede.
Hankook Group relies on Union retreaders such as Vacu-Lug in the United Kingdom or B.R.P. Pneumatici in Italy for its retreading activity.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 128 in 132, je bil gospodarski položaj industrije Unije analiziran na zbirni osnovi, kar je vključevalo analizo uvoza.
Giti Genesis previously known as GT Ree Tread relies on Vacu-Lug in the United Kingdom.
Dodatna analiza na ravni razredov je bila izvedena le v primeru nekaterih ključnih mikroekonomskih kazalnikov glede na segmentacijo trga Unije.
Moreover, Pirelli Italy declared in 2009 concerning a contract signed with Marangoni (a Union provider of retread solutions) that this project, which is part of the strategy of strengthening and enlarging the supply of services by Pirelli Truck, aims to add value in particular to the new products in the 88 Series and the 01 Series, launched on the European market in 2009, characterised, among other qualities, by their high suitability for retreading.
Obseg uvoza zadevnega izdelka iz LRK se je povečal.
Other producers are also marketing that their tyres are retreadable, for instance Athos brand importer providing that Athos tyres are regroovable and suitable for cold and hot retreading as well as the Aeolus brand (reported both as tier 3).
Na podlagi statistike o uvozu iz Eurostatove podatkovne zbirke Comext (ki je, kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 133 in 134, morda prenizko ocenjena) je bilo tako povečanje obsega uvoza iz LRK znatno tako v absolutnem kot v relativnem smislu.
This shows that retreadability is a significant value factor both in the European Union and in the country concerned.
Cene uvoza iz zadevne države
As the note for the file on interconnection in addition shows, retreadability is viewed by the production industry in the Union and the country concerned as more than a mere marketing asset, but a real value driver for the upper tiers.
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 128 in 132, je bil gospodarski položaj industrije Unije analiziran na zbirni osnovi, pri nekaterih ključnih mikroekonomskih kazalnikih pa bil analiziran tudi na ravni razredov glede na segmentacijo trga Unije.
Accordingly, the value and sales price of the upper tiers are indissolubly linked to a healthy retreading industry ‘downstream’.
Vendar so se pri izračunih nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen cene vzorčenih proizvajalcev izvoznikov dejansko primerjale s cenami proizvajalcev Unije, upošteval pa se je tudi posebni razred, v katerega so spadali.
It is for those reasons that the Commission, at recital (140) of the provisional Regulation, stated that ‘a large value attributed to tiers 1 and tier 2 tyres originate, in fact, from the existence of a retreading industry in tier 3’.
Skupina Aeolus Group in družba Pirelli sta trdili tudi, da so na uvozne cene močno vplivala nihanja menjalnega tečaja.
On that basis, the Commission confirmed its initial findings on the interconnection between new and retreaded tyres and among tiers.
Komisija ni razumela pomembnosti menjalnega tečaja, saj so vse cene, uporabljene za primerjavo v izračunu stopnje škode, izražene v eurih.
Regarding recital (141) of the provisional Regulation, the CRIA and the CCCMC considered that the Commission did not disclose the source of the high interchangeability of retreaded tyres that in turn, established price as a determining factor in the customer's decision to purchase a retreaded or tier 3 new tyres.
Zato nihanje med ameriškimi dolarji in euri pri določanju nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen ali ravni ukrepov ni bilo pomembno.
The Commission accepted that claim.
Nekatere zainteresirane strani (družba Pirelli, skupina Giti Group) so trdile, da so se glede na Eurostat kitajske uvozne cene (povezane zlasti s pnevmatikami tretjega razreda) v zadnjih treh letih znižale le zaradi čedalje nižjih cen surovin (za 15,6 EUR/kos).
Accordingly, in its note for the file on interconnection, it showed examples of tyres of different tiers having common sales channels.
Trdile so, da so se cene surovin (naravnega kavčuka in nafte) bistveno znižale, kar je v obdobju preiskave stalno vplivalo na uvozne cene.
Imports from the country concerned
Razvoj povprečne cene uvoza iz zadevne države v Unijo z razvojem cen glavne surovine se je gibal, kot je prikazano v nadaljevanju.
Volume and market share of the imports from the country concerned
Preglednica 3
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli claimed that the Commission should have considered for its analysis the increase in the Union consumption and should have provided a separate analysis for the three tiers.
Razvoj uvoznih cen in cen glavnih surovin
The parties claimed that, with reference to tier 1 and tier 2, Chinese imports decreased by 2,7 % and 2 % respectively, whereas tier 3 imports increased by 3,9 % from 2015 and 2016.
Vir: Eurostatova podatkovna zbirka COMEXT in pritožba.
In conclusion, they claimed that any alleged rise in imports (in absolute or relative terms) during the investigation period was not substantial and did not injure the Union industry.
Cena uvoza iz LRK (v EUR/kos)
As explained in recitals (128) and (132), the economic situation of the Union industry was analysed on an aggregated basis, and this included the analysis of imports.
Naravni kavčuk:
It was only in certain key microeconomic indicators that the additional analysis at the level of tiers was performed, given the Union market segmentation.
SGX RSS3 (v USD/tono)
The import volumes of the product concerned from the PRC increased.
SGX TSR20 (v USD/tono)
On the basis of the import statistics from Eurostat Comext (which as explained in recitals (133) and (134) could be underestimated), such increase in the volume of imports from the PRC was substantial, both in absolute and relative terms.
Butadien (v centih USD/funt)
Prices of the imports from the country concerned
Kazalnik za nafto brent (v USD/sodček)
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli claimed that the Commission's analysis lacks any reference to the market segmentation and reports only Eurostat figures, without any reference to import figures collected from the sampled exporting producers.
V obravnavanem obdobju se v cenah kitajskega uvoza ni upošteval razvoj cen surovin.
As explained in recitals (128) and (132), the economic situation of the Union industry was analysed on an aggregated basis and, in certain key microeconomic indicators, was also analysed at the level of tiers given the Union market segmentation.
Kitajske uvozne cene so med letoma 2014 in 2015 ostale stabilne, cena glavnih surovin pa se je bistveno znižala, in sicer za 20 % za naravni kavčuk in za približno 45 % za butadien in kazalnike za nafto brent.
However, in the undercutting calculations the prices from the sampled exporting producers were indeed compared to the prices of the Union producers taking into account the specific tier where they belonged.
Kitajske uvozne cene so se med letoma 2015 in 2016 znižale za 12 %, cene surovin pa so ostale razmeroma nespremenjene.
The Aeolus Group and Pirelli further claimed that import prices were significantly affected by currency rate fluctuations.
V letu 2016 in obdobju preiskave, ko se je večina cen surovin od drugega četrtletja leta 2016 do prvega četrtletja leta 2017 znatno zvišala, pa so kitajske uvozne cene ostale stabilne.
The Commission failed to see the relevance of the currency exchange rate as all prices used for the comparison purposes in the injury margin calculation are denominated in euros.
Komisija je sklenila, da kitajske uvozne cene niso bile povezane z razvojem cen surovin.
Hence, the fluctuation between USD and EUR did not play a role in determining either the undercutting or level of the measures.
Nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen
Some interested parties (Pirelli, the Giti Group) claimed that according to Eurostat Chinese import prices (mainly related to tier 3 tyres) have decreased over the past three years only due to declining raw material prices (by EUR 15,6 per item).
Več zainteresiranih strani je trdilo, da bi bilo treba nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen izračunati po analogiji z metodologijo, uporabljeno za izračun stopnje dampinga, na podlagi primerjave tehtanih povprečnih prodajnih cen za posamezno vrsto izdelka in segment vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije, ki se zaračunavajo nepovezanim strankam, in tehtanega povprečja cen vseh primerljivih izvoznih transakcij.
The parties stated that the prices of raw materials (natural rubber and oil) significantly decreased, with a consistent impact on import prices during the period of investigation.
Poleg tega sta združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC trdila, da bi morala Komisija kitajske cene prilagoditi navzgor ali cene Unije za protektirane pnevmatike navzdol, da bi zagotovila, da se v primerjanih cenah upošteva podobno število prevoženih kilometrov, ter za poprodajne in garancijske storitve, ki jih zagotavljajo proizvajalci Unije, ki prodajajo protektirane pnevmatike, zlasti za tretji razred, saj kitajski proizvajalci takih storitev ne zagotavljajo.
The evolution of the average price of imports into in the Union from the country concerned with the evolution of main raw materials prices developed as follows:
Zadevne strani so podobne trditve ponovile po končnem razkritju.
Table 3
Kot je pojasnjeno v uvodnih izjavah 149 in 150 začasne uredbe, se je v metodologiji za določitev nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen s primerjavo upoštevala povprečna prodajna cena za posamezno vrsto izdelka (kontrolno številko izdelka) in posamezni segment.
Evolution of import and main raw materials prices
Nelojalno nižanje prodajnih cen je bilo izračunano na podlagi primerljivih transakcij, ki se nanašajo na zadevno vrsto izdelka, ali za vsako vrsto izdelka posebej.
Source: Eurostat Comext and the Complaint
Za pnevmatike znotraj posameznega razreda se šteje, da so podobne v smislu števila prevoženih kilometrov, zato splošna prilagoditev ni potrebna.
PRC import price (EUR/item)
To velja tudi za garancijske storitve, razen za tretji razred, kjer lahko Unija v nasprotju s kitajskimi proizvajalci dejansko zagotavlja poprodajne in garancijske storitve.
Natural Rubber:
Zato je Komisija po potrebi prilagodila cene vzorčenih proizvajalcev Unije za poprodajne in garancijske storitve za tretji razred.
SGX RSS3 USD/tonne
Stopnji nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih in ciljnih cen sta bili določeni brez ponderiranja.
SGX TSR20 USD/tonne
V zvezi s trditvijo o analogiji med izračuni dampinga in škode je Komisija opozorila, da je treba pri izračunih dampinga, ko se računajo stopnje dampinga za podobni izdelek kot celoto, dejansko upoštevati „vse primerljive izvozne transakcije“.
Butadiene US cents per lb
Nasprotno „preiskovalnemu organu ni treba […] ugotoviti obstoja nelojalnega nižanja prodajnih cen za vsako vrsto izdelka v preiskavi ali glede na celoten obseg blaga, ki sestavlja domači podobni izdelek.
Brent indicator USD per barrel
Ne glede na to mora preiskovalni organ objektivno proučiti učinek dampinškega uvoza na domače cene.“ V obravnavanem primeru je bila Komisija zadovoljna z zelo visoko stopnjo ujemanja med vrstami izdelkov proizvajalcev Unije in proizvajalcev izvoznikov, ki se prodajajo na trgu Unije (na splošno je ujemanje med 80- in 90-odstotno).
Over the period considered, the Chinese import prices have not reflected the evolution of raw material prices.
Združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC sta trdila, da bi morala Komisija razkriti dodatne informacije o fizikalnih lastnostih vrst pnevmatik, ki so bile uporabljene za primerjavo, saj je zelo verjetno, da obstajajo razlike, ki niso upoštevane v kontrolnih številkah izdelka, ki jih je treba prilagoditi, vendar kitajski izvozniki, združenje CRIA in zbornica CCCMC takih razlik enostavno ne morejo opredeliti, saj nimajo informacij o proizvodih, ki jih prodajajo vzorčeni proizvajalci Unije.
While the Chinese import prices remained stable between 2014 and 2015, the price of main raw materials have decreased significantly by 20 % for natural rubber and by around 45 % of butadiene and Brent indicators.
Zadevni strani sta trdili, da je v poročilu pritožbenega organa STO v zadevi ES – pritrdilni elementi podprt ta pristop.
While the Chinese import prices decreased by 12 % between 2015 and 2016, the raw material prices remained rather stable.
Komisija se ni strinjala s to trditvijo.
